the enlightener says

"It's a good match."

The quarrel lasted until the second watch, when Qin Ke finally sent Cai Yan, who was gradually getting drunk and slowly falling asleep, back to the room. When he closed the door, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, recalling the moment when the two danced together. Situation, he sighed a little, but he was not as depressed as before.

Maybe this is the best result?

At least no matter whether he expresses his feelings or not, Cai Yan will stay with him as he is now...

But when he turned around and was about to return to his room, he caught sight of the figure standing in the corridor.

That figure was elongated by the moonlight, and it looked a little lonely and desolate.

He was slightly startled: "Yinxue? Why are you here..."

"Can't I come?" Gongshu Yinxue leaned his shoulders against the wall with a hint of a smile, and then shook the things in his hands. With the light of the lantern, Qin Ke quickly discovered that it was Cai Yan and himself from the past. A wine jar dug out of the garden.

Cai Yan passed out drunk, he originally sent Cai Yan back to the house with garlic, and then buried the wine jar back, who would have thought that such an accident would happen in such a short time.

After all, this is the public loser. As the owner of this family, Gongshu Yinxue, the two of them stole his own wine and brought it directly in front of him. Qin Ke's face suddenly turned red, but the smell of alcohol It's still fermenting in the body, but it doesn't show much.

"I... originally planned to drink less." Qin Ke thought that what he said was really shameless. When he lowered his head, he looked like a student who made a mistake and was punished by his husband.

Gongshu Yinxue chuckled, and didn't blame him, but said softly: "I didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes. It just so happened that you dug out all this wine, why don't you have a few drinks with me?"

Qin Ke didn't have anything else to say, so he nodded vigorously, then followed Yinxue all the way out of the guest room and went to her room. On the way, he met a few servants, Gongshu Yinxue's voice was light: "The man under the plum tree in the garden Take out all the wine for me, send it to my room, and then fill it up with soil, so as not to look ugly."

"Yes." The servants didn't know about the wine hidden under the plum tree, so they were a little dazed at first, but after listening to Gongshu Yinxue's order, they respectfully agreed, and then left quickly up.

Qin Ke was a little ashamed, thinking that he and Cai Yan drank other people's wine secretly, but in the end they had to ask them to help wipe their buttocks, which is really a bit of a jerk.

The two entered the room and sat facing each other, but Gongshu Yinxue didn't mention the plum tree, but poured wine and said softly: "What are you doing in a daze, sit down."

Qin Ke nodded, moved the stool and sat down.

Qin Ke is naturally very familiar with this room. It was in this room that Gongshu Yinxue spent quite a while with him. The two shared the same bed. It was a little embarrassing, and then both of them let go a lot, and no longer stick to some small details.

In fact, after Gongshu Yinxue took over as the head of the family, she could have moved to a larger residence, but she said that she was used to it, and it would be inconvenient to move around, so she has always lived here.

"Miss Cai is not only smart, but also has a first-class taste in wine. She actually knows the century-old wine buried under the plum tree. Speaking of which, the last time I drank this wine was several years ago, and I almost forgot the taste of this wine." Gongshu Yinxue smiled lightly, raised the wine cup, touched Qin Ke lightly, and then drank it with his head raised.

The crystal clear wine slid all the way down her throat, her throat without Adam's apple trembled slightly, and her skin felt warm under the candlelight.

Seeing Gongshu Yinxue drinking so happily, Qin Ke naturally quickly poured the wine into his mouth.

"Good wine." Gongshu Yinxue finished drinking one cup, pursed his lips, as if feeling it, "I remember, it seems that six kinds of medicinal materials and three kinds of fruits were added to it, and it had to be Gongshujia Winery It's the old men with the biggest backup that make wine like this."

Qin Ke nodded, but heard Gongshu Yinxue suddenly say: "Why don't you express your feelings to Miss Cai?"

Qin Ke's expression suddenly became frightened.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not blind. From the first day Miss Cai lived in the public loser's house, I knew that you were not just a friend to her." Gongshu Yinxue smiled, but she didn't let her go. People think she is very happy, but with a bit of tiredness, "That's right, Miss Cai is so beautiful, intelligent, and generous. It's very common to like her. Is it strange that you don't like her?"

Qin Ke shook his head and said, "That's not the case..." It's just that he didn't know what to say, how he felt about Cai Yan.

Gongshu Yinxue hummed lightly, and did not force Qin Ke too much, but continued to drink with him one after another until the sixth, when her face turned bright red, and then continued: " I heard General Gao Da said that you will follow him to Jicheng in a few days?"

Qin Ke didn't know much about this matter, but Gao Changgong mentioned this sentence: "Yeah. He was seriously injured, and his recovery has been slow. I heard that he has a friend in Jicheng who is very skilled in medicine." , should be able to help him. As for us... Wuxing Sinan is already healed, and the next step is to go back to Jingwu and hand over the things to Zhuge Wanling. In this way, my hope of finding Master will be even greater."

Gongshu Yinxue nodded, and said: "That's right... By the way, Chu Gou left Jinzhou a few days ago and left a letter for you and me, saying that he is going back to Tang to visit his uncle. If there is a chance, I hope you To visit his uncle."

"Really?" Qin Ke was usually annoyed by Chu Gou's follower, but since he returned to Jinzhou, he hadn't seen him once, and only now did he know that he had returned to Tang.

This is not surprising, after all, his relatives are all in the Tang country, thousands of miles away from home, and they will always go back. As for seeing each other in the future, no one knows when it will be.

Thinking of this, Qin Ke was inexplicably melancholy.

Gongshu Yinxue looked into his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, I know that you will leave sooner or later..."

The discourse is full of reluctance and loneliness that cannot be concealed.

Chapter 569 The Truth After Drinking

The two were talking, drinking one after another, and soon the jar of wine ran out. Fortunately, the servants who ordered to dig out other old wines also knocked on the door at this time, and put several The jar of wine was placed on the table.

In fact, by this time, the two of them were already smelling of alcohol, and their laughter from time to time seemed particularly harmonious.

Naturally, the two talked about the first encounter.

Gongshu Yinxue looked reminiscent: "Do you still remember how we met? On that desolate Gobi, my food team suffered a massacre, and even the second grandfather who loved me the most was not spared. Sometimes I hid under a flag, shivering like a frightened mouse."

She lowered her head, slowly opened the seal of the wine jar, and then continued to repeat the pouring of wine: "I don't know if I can survive, but I know I don't want to die yet, because I still have a lot of things to do." Do it, my younger brother is alone at home and still needs my protection. At that time, I seemed to see many things in front of my eyes, father, mother, younger brother, uncle..."

"But no matter how I call in my heart, I also know that they can't appear suddenly, let alone take me out of such a dead place. There was a time when I was almost desperate, and I thought I would die like this It's too useless, even if I rush out, it's better to die under the sword than to curl up like this, but I can't move at all."

"But you are still so strong." Qin Ke looked at her and said softly, "Even when you were discovered by me, you still held the dagger and tried your best to kill me, didn't you?"

Of course Gongshu Yinxue remembered this, and said with a smile: "Yes, but your cultivation base is too high, I have no room to resist at all, although I stabbed that one, but even a single hair of yours It wasn't hurt at all, was it?"

Gongshu Yinxue and Qin Ke smiled at each other, and drank the wine in the wine cup, and then Gongshu Yinxue continued: "It is precisely because I feel that your cultivation is very high, so I sprouted The idea of ​​letting you marry me. From this point of view, my motives are not pure."

"At that time, I was also in a hurry to go to the doctor. I just thought that your cultivation base is so strong at such a young age. Compared with the juniors of the public losers, you even surpassed it by a lot. If you can really pass the test of your ancestors, maybe everything will be fine. Turning point... But now it seems that I was too simple at that time. It was also during the time when I was the head of the family, I continued to deal with affairs, and I had new views on many things. I can probably understand Uncle, even better At that time, I was naive."

Qin Ke nodded, recalling what happened during this period of time, perhaps from the very beginning, this plan itself was just the whims of two young people: "Yes? Actually, I also think this method is a bit unreliable But I was also anxious to get Wuxing Sinan, so I agreed. Although the result is not bad, if we all have the chance to choose again, maybe we won’t do such a thing.”

"No. I don't regret it. Meeting you may be the luckiest thing I've done in these years." Gongshu Yinxue looked at Qin Ke calmly and said, "Or do you regret it?"

Qin Ke avoided her gaze, and then whispered: "No, it's just...you should have more, meet a good enough person, get married, have children..."

"Then forget about you?" Gongshu Yinxue asked back.

Qin Ke was silent again, he didn't understand why Gongshu Yinxue tonight was like an unsheathed sword, between the words, it was so sharp and piercing.

But at the next moment, Gongshu Yinxue stood up, and hugged Qin Ke fiercely into his arms, as if he was treating this hug as the last, his bones creaked, and his warm breath kept coming out. To Qin Ke's earlobe.

Qin Ke suddenly panicked, and subconsciously wanted to push Gongshu Yinxue away, but when his hand touched Gongshu Yinxue, he stopped again, as if he couldn't bear it, and seemed... reluctant?

It was probably the first time that Gongshu Yinxue embraced a man with such affection, because she was so concentrated, she could feel Qin Ke's firm chest, strong arms, and even his trembling eyebrows and palms because of a little panic.

"I will never forget you." Gongshu Yinxue finally closed his eyes contentedly, perhaps because he felt joy and relaxation after making a decision, "Actually, you should also know what I mean, but you just dare not admit it or don't want to Just admit it. Don't be afraid, I will not force you to do anything, nor will I force you to stay here. Today I made things clear, but I just don't want you to think of me in the future as a 'friend in trouble'. I know, I have liked you for a long time, why can't I leave a deep enough shadow in your memory?"

Qin Ke's expression was complicated, and there were mixed feelings in his heart. After all, he didn't push Gongshu Yinxue away, but put his arms around her waist tremblingly, and said in a dull voice, "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." Gongshu Yinxue closed his eyes, and smiled faintly: "You know... a few days ago, I seriously thought about whether I could take this opportunity to resign as the Patriarch since the war ahead is temporarily suspended. I will leave Jinzhou with you, for this purpose, I even specially selected a few capable helpers, at least to ensure that after I leave, there will be no chaos at home."

"Besides, I'm not worried that you still have Ms. Cai in your heart, because I understand that a person will inevitably fall in love with many people in his life, just like my mother only married my father because of the family arrangement in the first place. Slowly or lovingly and joyfully. As long as I can always walk with you, there must be many opportunities to change your mind in the future..."

"Today's decree came suddenly, but it made me understand one thing: I am no longer the Miss Gongshu who can leave at any time. From the moment I received the seal of the owner of Gongshu, I also took over the entire Gongshu. Dazu has taken over many responsibilities, including my younger brother, aunt, and fourth uncle... I cannot leave after all. After all, this is my home. sad."

"Hmm..." Qin Ke responded in a low voice.

Feeling Qin Ke's warmth, Gongshu Yinxue let the tears flow from the corners of her eyes and fell on Qin Ke's shoulders, but her words were firm: "It's not that you didn't choose me, but that I... gave up on you."

Then she smiled again, "Although it sounds like the story of Hugh in the drama..."

Qin Ke laughed, and gradually relaxed his arms around Gongshu Yinxue, and said, "I seem to have read a little bit of the story you told, and that wife is indeed a wonderful person."

"I'm going to Xingzhou to take office soon, maybe we won't have the chance to see each other in the future, you...you have to take care of yourself."

"You too."

"But if one day in the future, you find that Miss Cai doesn't like you, and even leaves you...you can come to Xingzhou to find me, okay?"

"Uh..." Qin Ke didn't know how to answer, but at this moment, he really couldn't bear to refuse. I'm afraid it was because of his untimely soft-heartedness and hesitation that the relationship between the two changed. It must be so complicated and tangled.

He sighed, and at the same time scolded himself in his heart again and again, but he still couldn't summon up the courage to push away that soft body.

After getting along for such a long time, he is not really a piece of wood. He will naturally have some real feelings for Gongshu Yinxue.

When Gongshu Yinxue heard Qin Ke's answer, more tears welled up in his eyes, like two endless streams, a thought began to take root in his mind, lingering and lingering.

Suddenly, she bit her lip, summoned all her courage, took a half step back, and at the same time, pressed her two cherry lips together.

The sudden change made Qin Ke's eyes widen suddenly, and his whole body trembled, as if he felt something terrible bursting in his chest, and his qi and blood became as vigorous as a tiger and leopard in a gust of wind.

For a whole quarter of an hour, Qin Ke remained motionless, his arms stretched straight after he had just relaxed, and he even forgot to push away the woman in front of him immediately.

Only slowly, the shock in his eyes quietly turned into obedience, and then into indulgence, with a sense of guilt in his heart, he closed his eyes.

Chapter 5 Seventy

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Ke slowly opened his eyes in his room, his eyes were bloodshot.

He forced himself to fall asleep again and again last night, but it turned out that all his efforts were in vain. Gongshu Yinxue's soft kiss kept reappearing, which made him relax a little bit, even when he was about to fall asleep, he would suddenly sit up with a jolt ...

So after tossing and turning several times, he could only lie on the bed like a dead dog and pretend to be dead.

Gongshu Yinxue didn't pester him, after that clumsy kiss ended.

For the first time in his life, he kissed a girl. He once thought that person would be Cai Yan, but unfortunately, last night he tried to express his feelings to Cai Yan but failed again and again. Gongshu Yinxue.

"Did I do something wrong..." Qin Ke patted the back of his head and whispered to himself.

Of course Qin Ke knew it was wrong to do so, but some things might have been completely out of his control when they happened.

Although he can firmly believe that the one he likes must be Cai Yan, maybe her words after being drunk are too sincere, or maybe her strength and righteous choice are too much for him to admire. At that moment, her arms are only shorter than himself. The half-head Gongshu Yinxue actually squeezed into his not-so-capable heart.

Speaking of which, he used to often spurn Gao Yishui's flirtatious behavior, but didn't what happened last night show that he was essentially no different from Gao Yishui?

Is it possible that this is the nature of a man, or that he has claimed to be single-minded and sincere for many years, but he is actually deceiving himself?

It was also at this time that Qin Ke realized that for so many years, he seemed to be a blank sheet of paper in the emotional part, and it was useless to think too much. Anyway, there was no way to clear up any clues in his mind. He continued to lie down and was extremely tormented. Quickly get out of bed and get dressed, ready to welcome the sunrise of the new day.

The wine I drank last night was really good. I obviously drank a lot, but I didn’t feel any discomfort today. When I opened a door to feel the cold wind, Qin Ke also took a deep breath, and then turned towards the dawn outside. go.

There was a big banquet last night. I don’t know how many people drank wildly. The rooms on both sides of the corridor were still snoring, and only some birds that hadn’t migrated could be heard chirping in the branches.

Qin Ke walked slowly all the way, past the plum tree where the wine was hidden last night, and also passed the banquet hall that was still a mess last night, unknowingly walked to the periphery of the Gongshucha courtyard, heard the whistling of weapons dancing inside, and felt A little surprised: "Get up so early to practice?"

Everyone in the public loser knew that this fourth master was a martial idiot, and to what extent he was a martial idiot, Qin Ke only had a real feeling when the public loser was constantly being dragged by him to compete with him. Gong Shucha has already practiced in the courtyard, which makes Qin Ke admire him even more.

But when he gently pushed open the door of the Gongshu Procuratorate, he was subconsciously startled when he saw the tall figure wielding a long weapon inside.

"Abu, why are you?"

I saw the figure in the yard wearing a thin cotton vest, with most of his chest exposed, he didn't seem to be afraid of the severe cold, even his simple and honest face was covered with beads of sweat, as he exhaled and made a sound, the halberd in his hand swung violently , Just like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, it brought a sharp wind.

Abu was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice behind him, and stopped moving.

The halberd was obviously very heavy, and it was thrown to the ground suddenly by Abu, which immediately stirred up a lot of debris of bricks and stones. There was a blue shadow in Abu's eyes, and the heavy breathing from his chest made it seem as if he could hear his heartbeat. Voice.

His smile is still hearty: "Ake, you are here."

"I was walking by, and when I heard the voice inside, I thought it was the fourth uncle, but I didn't expect it to be you...By the way, why didn't you go to the banquet last night, and there was no one around all night, but you got up early in the morning to practice here?" Qin Ke saw the sweat towel hanging on the shelf beside him, picked it up and handed it to Abu.

"Gongshucha went to the army early in the morning, but I played two games with him yesterday. He was very happy, so he lent me his yard and let me stay here to practice martial arts. Originally, I wanted to go It was a banquet, but I was practicing... I forgot about it." Abu wiped the sweat from his face, apologetic in his exhausted expression.

It's just this big halberd... Qin Ke feels very familiar no matter how he looks at it.

"Can not remember?"

"This...couldn't be..." Qin Ke's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Abu in surprise.

Abu frowned slightly, his eyes were full of excitement, "Come on, try!"

As he spoke, he pushed forward with the hand holding the eucalyptus, and the eucalyptus fell towards Qin Ke.

Qin Ke subconsciously used both hands to catch it, but when his fingers grasped the long pole of the halberd tightly and was about to hold it with strength, he found something unexpected.

Not good!

Why is this great halberd so heavy in the hand?

Caught off guard, Qin Ke failed to hold the long pole of the halberd tightly, but let it fall down, and the head of the halberd hit the ground heavily, making a muffled sound.

The bricks and stones cracked at the sound, and the hideous cracks extended to a place a foot away.

Qin Ke just came back to his senses, bent down in shock, stroked the long handle of the halberd, and said, "This... seems to be the one from Xiang Chu?"

Abu nodded, looked at Qin Ke's shocked look, and finally laughed loudly: "Xiang Chu's, but now it's mine. Brother Chang Gong gave it to me yesterday."

"No wonder you are so excited that you didn't even go to the banquet."

That day when Xiang Chu was defeated by Gao Changgong, Qin Ke also saw it with his own eyes, but he thought that the halberd had been lost among the rebellious army, but he never thought that Gao Changgong would take it back.

Qin Ke was ready this time, and tried his best to lift the halberd from the ground, but he couldn't swing it as easily as Abu. The weight came, and he exclaimed: "How heavy is this? Shouldn't it be about the same as Gao Changgong's silver gun?"

Abu nodded: "It should be worse, but it is Xiang Chu's weapon after all, it took Tang Guo many years to build it, and I got used to it for several hours when I got it, and with my current cultivation base It is also difficult to practice for too long to control this kind of weight."

Even so, Abu is still very satisfied. As Gao Changgong said, since he took the halberd, the problems he felt before have completely disappeared. What is left is the pleasure of waving the weapon and stretching his muscles and bones with all his strength.

Even because of the qi and blood circulating after waving the weapon, he felt as if he had touched the higher threshold—almost right in front of his eyes.

Qin Ke gave a heavy push, returned the halberd to Abu, and said with a smile, "It's only with your brute strength that you can use this weapon."

Abu grinned, then shook his head and said, "You and I are following a different path, and the weight of a weapon means nothing to you. Besides, your Bodhisattva sword is also considered one of the world's magic weapons." One, it is not necessarily weaker than this halberd."
