Brilliant thorn

"It sounds like a good idea to die on the same day and year in the same month."

Fu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, his fingers wrapped around Xiao Jue's hair.

"When I'm in my seventies and eighties and I can't hold a sword, you go and make me a steaming bowl of longevity noodles. After eating and drinking enough, let's join hands to find a place full of mountain flowers and sleep together for a long time. How about it?"

Xiao Absolutely met his gaze and smiled brightly: "It's exactly what I want."

Fu Shaoyu leaned over and bit the tip of his nose, and pampered the top of his hair: "Let's go, let's eat noodles."

The two went to the dining hall hand in hand, Fu Shaoyu ate up the steaming bowl of noodles, even drank the noodle soup, Xiao Jue's eyes bent like crescent moons.

In the afternoon, Wu Shanyun arrived at Chunshan Terrace, and personally sent two elixir that she refined carefully as a congratulatory gift.

"How are you?" She looked at Xiao Jue, "Give me your hand."

Xiao Jue stretched out his hand to let her feel her pulse. Just as he was about to thank her for her concern, Wu Shanyun turned his head to look at Fu Shaoyu, and said in a calm voice, "Ten days of abstinence are the best for temperance."

Xiao Jue withdrew his hand abruptly, the tips of his ears turned red.

Fu Shaoyu was not as thin-skinned as he was, and said with a smile: "I can't help it."

Wu Shanyun didn't say anything, just took out a sachet from his cuff and handed it to Fu Shaoyu.

The embroidery of the sachet is rough, and the silver thread has broken off at the edge, obviously it has been used for many years.

"I always see my aunt wearing this thing, and won't change it when it breaks, but is there anything special about it?"

Fu Shaoyu asked casually, opened the sachet, and poured out the contents. It was the flower seeds of Songye peony, no more, no less, exactly 27.

On his birthday, Wu Shanyun would send seeds and plant them on the hillside as a memorial to his mother.

Wu Shanyun took back the sachet, and there was a rare smile in his eyes: "This is the first sachet made by Fu Mi Xuehong."

Fu Shaoyu was slightly taken aback, he had never heard her mention this matter before, so it turned out that this thing was about his own age.

"At first, I was reluctant to use it, but she refused, saying that I disliked her craftsmanship."

Wu Shanyun laughed, how could she dislike it?It is obviously a gift that cannot be cherished more.

"Since you don't dislike it, then take it with you every day. When you wear it out, I'll make a better one for you!"

"……it is good."

She put this sachet with messy stitches in her sleeve. It has been in this area for nearly 30 years, and the smiling person never had the opportunity to embroider a better one for her.

"Don't mention these, let's plant flowers."

Wu Shanyun pulled away from the memory, and walked towards the hillside first, Xiao Jue carefully looked at Fu Shaoyu's expression, and felt relieved when he saw that his expression was normal.

Fu Shaoyu dug up the soil with a flower shovel, sprinkled the seeds evenly into the soil, and after paving the ground again, he bowed to the southeast three times before standing up.

Before he could wipe the dust off his knees, he heard the sound of beating and killing coming from the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Jue and Wu Shanyun also sensed that something was wrong, and soon, Cen Buyu, Chu Feng and others also rushed over after hearing the news, lined up and waited for it.

Jueying quietly landed beside him, and reported in a deep voice, "It's Shi Zhengping, who has broken into the mountain gate."

"Tsk, we were not in the mountains last time, and he took the opportunity to escape, and dared to come back!" Chu Feng whispered, "How many people did this guy bring?"

Jueying said: "He's the only one."

Chufeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and before he could say anything else, he heard Fu Shaoyu's order: "Don't stop him."

"Young master, don't you avoid it?" Cen Buyu asked.

"No need," Fu Shaoyu stared deeply at the road down the mountain, "It's better to settle the matter earlier."

Xiao Jue frowned. Hearing what he said, could it be that Shi Zhengping was also involved in the extermination of the Ling family?

Doubt?Or is there conclusive evidence?

Not long after, Shi Zhengping appeared in the field of vision, indeed he was the only one shoveling his knife up the mountain, behind him was Jueying and a dozen or so demon guards, the two sides maintained a subtle confrontation and moved forward slowly.

Cen Buyu, Chufeng, Indigo, and Chixue sisters immediately showed their weapons, put on the posture of facing the enemy, and blocked Fu Shaoyu behind him. Shao Yu on both sides.

Sensing Xiao Jue's high level of alert, Fu Shaoyu gave him a comforting look from the side.

"Do not be nervous."

Xiao Jue shook his head, he wasn't nervous, it was just that Shi Zhengping had an eccentric temperament and quite a lot of experience in the world, dealing with this kind of person should not be taken lightly.

Unexpectedly, when Shi Zhengping approached, he suddenly threw the blood-stained long knife to his feet, fell to his knees with a "plop", and kowtowed heavily to Fu Shaoyu.

The four people standing in front looked at each other, but couldn't let go of their vigilance, Chufeng said sharply: "Old thief Shi, where are you acting?!"

Shi Zhengping pursed his lips and remained silent, knelt straight and took a deep look at Fu Shaoyu, then bowed heavily, his forehead hitting the ground with a dull sound.

His robe was dusty, some places were scratched by a sword, and it was stained with blood. It seemed that he hadn't changed his clothes for a long time.The bun had already been loosened, and a few strands of gray hair were hanging down. The whole person was dusty and embarrassed.

He kowtowed for more than ten times without saying a word, and he stopped when the stone left a blood mark on his forehead.

"Senior, why is this?"

Fu Shaoyu is still using respectful titles, but his tone is light and his expression is indifferent, no longer the respectful meaning of the past.With his hands behind his back, he was condescending, and the aura around him was extremely cold.

"Young Master, you don't need to ask questions knowingly." Shi Zhengping straightened his back, gritted his teeth, and said, "I came to you today to atone for my sins and to repay my kindness."

"Oh?" Fu Shaoyu pushed aside the people standing in front of him, with a half-smile: "Then senior, you have to explain carefully, what kind of crime are you atoning for today, and what kind of favor are you repaying."

Shi Zhengping clenched his fists, as if he was holding back.

Seeing this, Chi Xue said with a sarcasm: "This old man has a face of reluctance, he is clearly playing tricks, young master, don't fall for his tricks!"

Shi Zhengping didn't want to have a spat with this girl, so he just raised his head to meet Fu Shaoyu's cold gaze, as if he had never known him in the past three years, and carefully looked at this young and handsome face again and again.

"You look more like your mother."

With a sudden sigh of emotion, Wu Shanyun's expression changed instantly, his fingernails were firmly embedded in his palm, and blood dripped slowly from between his fingers.

Fu Shaoyu pondered for a moment, no longer pretending to be polite to him, and asked solemnly: "When did you recognize me?"

Shi Zhengping replied truthfully: "In mid-June, I happened to meet you in Peidu when you were hunted down and injured."

Xiao Jue's mind froze slightly.

Could it be that he was caught off guard that time at the alley, and because of his close relationship with Fu Shaoyu, Shi Zhengping discovered something during his private investigation, which led to Fu Shaoyu's identity being revealed?

Was that assassination really just a coincidence?

While thinking about it, Shi Zhengping continued: "You have a red birthmark under your ribs, and there is a crescent-shaped scar under the birthmark."

Xiao Jue lowered his brows, he was right, the scar under Fu Shaoyu's left rib was not very obvious, he also kissed there once, and only discovered it when he got very close.If it wasn't someone very close, they wouldn't even know the existence of this scar.

"That scar..." Shi Zhengping's voice trembled uncontrollably, "I pinched it with my nails back then."

Everyone showed incredible expressions.

Fu Shaoyu obviously didn't expect this to happen, his eyebrows were lowered, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

Shi Zhengping lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

"Back then, your father Ling Yuan was also a well-known chivalrous man. He loved to make friends, and he was very affectionate and sexual. We all made good friends with him. After that, he disappeared in the Jianghu for two years. I even looked for him everywhere. Who would have heard him again? The news is an invitation card, saying that he has found his beloved wife in the past two years, and he has a son on the tenth day of September, inviting everyone to attend his beloved son's full moon banquet."

Fu Shaoyu rolled his astringent Adam's apple, but did not interrupt Shi Zhengping's memory.

"I don't know where the news came from, that Wen Yuanlu was also captured by your father. So someone had a bad idea and wanted to steal the sword manual in the chaos that day. Unexpectedly, Cui Yushu led people to secretly surround the Ling family... "

Shi Zhengping seemed to have been touched by the unbearable feeling in his heart, and his expression became annoyed.

At that time, like many guests, he was panic-stricken and angry. He and the two sworn brothers, Shen and Yan, unleashed their weapons to stop the atrocities, but saw the two men wipe the throats of the guests beside them with their swords.

"What are you doing!" Shi Zhengping roared angrily, unsheathed his long knife, and knocked down a few feathered arrows that had been shot in the air.

"Zhengping, let the two of us explain this matter in detail later," Shen Zhongqing stabbed at him with a backhand sword, the tip of the sword barely stopped three minutes from his throat, "If you follow along, we will still be as close as brothers and sisters, as shown in the sword manual Divide it into three and keep it together; if you refuse, don’t blame big brother for being ruthless.”

"Are you crazy?!" Shi Zhengping's eyes were scarlet and he couldn't believe it.

Yan Wuji urged from the side: "Second brother! You and my brothers have a chance of winning together. Didn't you always want to be the No. 1 martial arts?! Get Wen Yuanlu, with your understanding, wouldn't it be easy?"

Shen Zhongqing said in a deep voice: "The matter has been done, and no one can get away."

At that time, the guests had noticed the strangeness of the three of them, and they were sure that the three were plotting wrongdoing, so they swung their swords and launched a counterattack without distinguishing between them.

Shi Zhengping was attacked by the enemy, as if being scorched by fire, distracted, someone yelled and slashed at him, but Shen Zhongqing beheaded him, and hot blood sprayed his face.

He was confused, and he didn't know how many people he had killed. He only knew that after finally recovering from the shock, he immediately rushed to the backyard to save the child he had just visited and was still smiling at him.

At that time, Shen Zhongqing and Yan Wuji were besieging Ling Yuan together, so he took advantage of the chaos and quietly hid the child in the rain jar by the back door.

"Your crying was very weak, and I don't know if you survived, but I only know that when I went to see that rain tank later, you were nowhere to be seen." Shi Zhengping took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "Fortunately, Luckily..."

After hearing this, everyone wished they could bite their silver teeth to pieces.

"So?" Fu Shaoyu's voice was very deep, as if he was asking from the ground, "Should I call senior to be my savior?"
