"Good boy." Song Yi got off his horse and said to him, "I was going to ask you something."

"Excuse me." Yao Ximu didn't know why, "I must know everything."

Song Yizhi didn't make any detours, and went straight to the point when he asked: "There is a powerful information organization in Jinling. As far as I know, it was established by the descendants of the Qionglang Sect, but I don't know who is in charge. Is it Yu Xingye?" ?”

Yao Ximu blinked, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing his blank face, Song Yizhi asked again: "You have been with him for a while, don't you know?"

"I don't know."

Song Yizhi didn't believe it, and forced to ask: "I really don't know?"

Yao Ximu scratched his head, he looked at Wu Jin as if asking for help, his eyes fluttered, and said softly: "I really don't know, and I suffered from dementia before, so I can't remember anything clearly. If you press me Me, I'm going to become a big fool again."

"Okay." Wu Jin was partial to Yao Ximu, and Song Yizhi was not allowed to continue asking him: "Others will pay a lot of money to buy news from you, why should you force me to ask my chubby with empty teeth."

"That's right." Yao Ximu slapped the snake around the stick, and immediately caught up with the words: "If this is your worry, I can help you get rid of it, then you have to give me my master, because I have become a big fool. Master does not despise me and will take care of me."

"Forget it, don't ask." Song Yizhi pulled his face and embraced Wu Jin's shoulder, "I can see that you two, master and apprentice, are of one heart, and I am an outsider." He pointed at Yao Ximu : "Little heartless thing, forget who helped you when you were desperate."

"Master's wife is here." Yao Ximu made a bow to him: "I don't dare to forget."

At a fork in the road, Wu Jin and Song Yizhi wanted to go north to Qianqiu Mountain, and Yao Ximu wanted to go south to Jinguan City, so the three broke up.

After parting with Wu Jin, Yao Ximu didn't rush on the road, he led the horse and walked slowly, admiring the picturesque scenery along the way.Jiang Wanzhou galloped along the main road, and soon caught up with him. Seeing his sharp and lively back from afar, Jiang Wanzhou reined in the horse, watched for a long time, and finally called softly: "Xi Mu."

Yao Ximu turned his head, his beautiful facial features remained unchanged, but the tenderness and greenness on his face had all faded away, and he looked much more mature.

The corners of his lips are slightly raised, his eyes are bright, and he has the bright and playful look of a young man.Facing Jiang Wanzhou, as if seeing a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, he smiled and said, "You're only here at this time? You missed the banquet."

"Where have you been these days?" Jiang Wanzhou asked him.

"Go where I should go." He raised his eyebrows: "You sent people to watch me all the way, don't you know where I went?"

Jiang Wanzhou didn't deny it. She stepped forward and stroked his face with nostalgia: "From Jiangnan to the desert, it's been so long, don't you want to come back?"

Yao Ximu shook his head: "I haven't found him yet."

"There is one thing that should have been given to you earlier." Jiang Wanzhou calmly took out a box from her sleeve, "After I came back from Luzhou, you left and I haven't seen you until today. There is a chance."

Yao Ximu was holding the Lihen lock cloud comb box, with mixed feelings in his heart.He raised his head and said a joke to Jiang Wanzhou: "If you return this to me, then I will be in debt to Luomei Villa again, and I have to treat five years of death as enough to pay it back." He rolled his eyes, The effort of talking nonsense is the same as before: "Well, I don't want to be a dead man anymore, can you pay to redeem that contract of selling yourself? I am very rich now, a rich man." Yao Ximu shook his head : "Vendor Jiang can set a price at will."

"You know what I want. Will you give it to me?"

Yao Xi looked at him with a slight smile, and after a long time, said in a low voice: "I gave it to you, but you stepped it under your feet, so I have nothing to give you again."

Jiang Wanzhou's eyes were deep, filled with pain and entanglement that was about to burst out. He looked at Yao Ximu for a long time, took Yao Ximu's hand, and said in a soft voice: "You said you were ignorant before, but in fact you really are. I am the one who is not sensible. I only understand now, but it seems a little late. I will give it to you in the future. You can get anything you want from me. Ximu, I don’t have any thoughts Change, I will always wait for you."

"What are you waiting for me?" Yao Ximu pulled out his hand, pointed in the direction of Tangmen, and said with a smile, "You see, my senior brother and Tang Miaomiao are both married, aren't you greedy? Now all the girls in the world who have not left the court want to marry Tang Miaomiao." To marry you, owner, you have to seize the opportunity and hurry up to marry the most beautiful one. After this village, there will be no more shops here. I promise to prepare early and give you a big gift when you get married. It will never be like attending my senior brother’s wedding. Such haste."

Jiang Wanzhou turned a deaf ear to his banter and said, "If you can't find him, what will you do?"

"If you can't find it, you can't find it." Yao Ximu looked indifferent, calm, "But if I didn't look for it, I would be very sorry." He got on his horse and said goodbye to Jiang Wanzhou: "The mountains are high and the water is long, and there will be a period of time later." .”

"Xi Mu!" Jiang Wanzhou called to stop him.

"Is there anything else?" Yao Ximu sat on the horse and looked down at him.

"Does what you said before count?" Jiang Wanzhou reached out to grab his reins.

"What did I say?"

"I admit my mistake. It was my fault that I treated you badly before. I will notify everyone in Luomei Villa that I want to be with you. Of course, there must be a ceremony. I will post a post to announce to the world that I want to be with you Get married. And take the entire Luomei Villa as a dowry gift, are you willing?"

Yao Ximu was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

Jiang Wanzhou's face was serious, it didn't look like she was joking at all.He took out a stack of things wrapped in oiled paper from his arms, and handed it to Yao Ximu: "Here are the property deeds and land deeds of various properties in Luomei Mountain Villa, including the share contracts for business transactions in various places, and they are now entrusted to you for safekeeping. "

Yao Ximu waved his hands again and again, stammering: "No, no need, I, I am not short of money now." He looked at Jiang Wanzhou with complicated emotions: "I can't have a baby with you, I can't worry about it. This is an important task. Your family has a big business and needs an heir, so you should find a girl who is worthy of you."

"I adopted Zhiyu under the name of Luomei Villa. His surname is now Jiang, and he is the legitimate heir of Luomei Villa. You don't have to worry about this, and no one will threaten you with this again." Jiang Wanzhou looked at it seriously. He seemed to be pushing into the depths of his soul: "I just ask you, does what you said before still count?"

"Ah?" Yao Ximu really felt the embarrassment of riding a tiger. This is indeed what he said before, and it is not good to break his promise on the spot.But admitting it means that he has completely fallen into it.His palms were sweating, his chest tightened, and he murmured in a low voice: "At this time, at that time... I did have this thought at the time, but now, I... have nothing for you..."

"I know you still have a wish." Jiang Wanzhou quickly interrupted him, let go of the rein, and said firmly, "Go, I'll wait for you."

Yao Ximu hurriedly galloped away, not daring to turn his head back, he whipped his horse fast, his heart was in a mess.From the bottom of my messy heart, there was a little sweetness of joy, but more of loss and sorrow.That bit of joy was for my teenage self, if he could hear Brother Wanzhou say such words when he was seventeen or eighteen, Yao Ximu would be willing to die immediately.

But now, he was thinking about the happiness in this world, no matter when he thought about death.How wonderful it is to live, only to live can there be hope.

He went to the Zhuhan Pavilion in Huanhuaxi, and the people there gave him a treasure map, the real treasure map, leading to the sea of ​​worry-free—a place where you can forget all your worries, cultivated by the barbarians of Nanzhao for hundreds of years Hard work, the last hope of the Qionglang Sect's comeback.

It's just this flimsy piece of buckskin paper.

The things drawn on the paper were messed up, as if they were drawn by an urchin. Yao Ximu thought about it for a while, and realized that it was a coincidence of astrology and numerology.It's not too difficult, and it can be solved with the zodiac and astronomy techniques that Yao Ximu can master.

Nanzhao now belongs to the territory of Western Chu. Yao Ximu disguised himself as a businessman going south, trekking long distances, passing through mountains and valleys, and finally came to a forest of strange rocks.

The Strange Stone Forest already belongs to the territory of the Worriless Sea, and the treasure is inside.

Boundless and boundless, the huge stone peaks and stone pillars are blue-gray rising from the ground, pointing directly at the sky, thousands of peaks and rocks, gathered and scattered, in different shapes.Walking in it, Yao Ximu had to marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature and the magic of good fortune.

Following the guidance of the map, he came to a steep rocky mountain. The rocks on the mountain were loose. Yao Ximu accidentally stepped into the air, and before he had time to perform lightness kung fu, he fell backwards on his back.A figure suddenly appeared, took him into his arms, and landed him firmly on the ground.

Yao Ximu was not surprised, and sighed: "You still followed."

"I'm always worried about you alone." Jiang Wanzhou gently let go of him: "If the incident of you being trapped at the bottom of Tianxian Lake happens again, I really don't know what to do."

"No." Yao Ximu looked around, but didn't see anyone following Jiang Wanzhou, and wondered, "Is no one following you? What about Bai Qun and the others?"

"I came alone."

"Now that you're here, let's go." Yao Ximu walked up the rocky mountain again, looked back at Jiang Wanzhou, thoughtfully, "Did you make an appointment with him for a decisive battle?"

"Yes, so I hope to see him too."

Yao Ximu was in a dilemma - if there was a decisive battle between Jiang Wanzhou and Yu Xingye, whose side would he be on?

Both of them are masters in the world, and a duel means life and death.

He didn't want any of them to die, but he couldn't ask why there was a decisive battle, because for them, meeting an opponent worthy of a battle was already an exciting thing.

But Yao Ximu was a little unhappy, he didn't want to be a gift for the winner, so Chong Jiang Wanzhou said very seriously: "You guys have a decisive battle, I will collect the body of anyone who dies, and then I will never see the one who survived people."

Jiang Wanzhou smiled at him, melting like snow and ice: "I promise to stop." Seeing Yao Ximu's dazed face, Jiang Wanzhou raised his palms, "If you don't believe me, let's make a high-five alliance."

"No." Yao Ximu shook his head: "I trust you, everything you say counts."

They climbed over the stone mountain and came to a stone cave. The black forest inside the cave seemed to have swallowed countless bones.

The cold dew, coming from nowhere, dripped continuously from the stone wall.It was dark in front of them, they couldn't see things, and they were startled by sudden situations from time to time.

The road under his feet was slippery and rough, Jiang Wanzhou held Yao Ximu's hand tightly, for fear that he might make a mistake.

In the darkness, he heard Yao Ximu chuckle.

"why are you laughing?"

"I remembered when I went to Xueyuwu for the first time when I was a child, you held me like this."

"I can hold you like this forever."

Yao Ximu didn't respond to him, and secretly regretted the outspokenness just now.

This road is long and seems to have no end.

They walked from the cave into the dry river bed, from the river bed into the ground, and from the ground, from noon to dusk.

There are no houses nearby, so I can't lodge, so I can only sleep in the forest on the stone mountain and the stone wall.Yao Ximu lit a bonfire, caught two rabbits and a grouse nearby, and showed it to Jiang Wanzhou: "Enough for the two of us to eat tonight."

He dexterously packed up the spoils, cut branches to make a grill, and disemboweled rabbits.Jiang Wanzhou really wanted to come up to help, so she took the branch and said, "I'll do it."

"No, I'm used to it."

"Xi Mu." Jiang Wanzhou pressed his hand and said stubbornly, "I'll help you. I can't always ask you to do these things."

"What's the matter, I will do it without you, anyway, I want to eat it." Yao Ximu raised his hand and wiped his sweat, saw the grouse at the side, and said with a flash of inspiration, "Young master, I will give you Make a different kind of roast grouse."

"What did you call me?" Jiang Wanzhou corrected, "Stop calling me Young Master."

Yao Ximu was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and smiled slightly, "I'm used to it."

"At that time..." Jiang Wanzhou shook her head, unable to understand what she was thinking at the time, why did she want to train Yao Ximu to be her right-hand man?He was not from Luomei Villa in the first place, he was his father's adoptive son, he came to Luomei Villa to seek protection, and he was the object of his love and care.

How could he be confused and turned into a servant girl?

After Jiang Wanzhou thought about it, he also took action. He walked up to Yao Ximu, rolled up his sleeves, and asked sincerely, "What do I need to do? You tell me, and I'll do it. You used to do the cooking. Eat it for me, and I will replace it later."

"You..." Yao Ximu looked at him suspiciously, "Is what you cook edible? You've never done it before."

"I can learn, come on, you teach me." Jiang Wanzhou smiled at his suspicious eyes, "I will do what you say I will do."
