After Jiang Wanzhou met Yao Ximu again, Yao Ximu took care of all the eating and drinking, but she didn't know if she had a bad stomach.Drinking the millet porridge made by the cook, he felt tasteless, and suddenly remembered Yao Ximu, looked up, and saw that only Wen Chanyi was sitting in the hall eating with him.

"Why didn't Yao Ximu come?"

Wen Chanyi shook her head in confusion.

Jiang Wanzhou put down her chopsticks and walked to the small hall connected to the kitchen.

Anxiang Liuhe, who was drinking porridge, was taken aback, quickly put down the steamed stuffed bun and stood up, respectfully saluted: "Young Master."

"Where's Yao Ximu?"

"Master Yao?" Shan Chui pointed outside, "Practice in the backyard early in the morning."

Jiang Wanzhou went to the backyard to look for him again. Yao Ximu was really practicing. He was sitting cross-legged under the tree, muttering something silently. Touched Yao Ximu's body.

Jiang Wanzhou frowned, feeling very puzzled, what kind of skill is this?Gone among thousands of flowers, not a single leaf sticks to your body?

After a while, Yao Ximu took a deep breath, stood up, and drew his sword.While drawing his sword, he met Jiang Wanzhou's eyes. He ignored it, and silently went through a set of 82 moves of Assassin Qin.

The dragon roared loudly, and Jiang Wanzhou felt itchy to watch, and also drew his sword.

Seeing him making a move, Yao Ximu quickly retracted the sword.

Jiang Wanzhou attacked with a sword, preventing him from withdrawing the sword, and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing?"

The sun gradually rose, and the sunshine was soft, like fluffy golden powder, all over Yao Ximu's body. Yao Ximu wiped off his sweat, and said before hitting him, "I can't beat you."

"If you can't beat me, you have to practice with me. After you practice with me, as soon as I am happy, I may lend you the dusk."

"Really?" Yao Ximu's eyes lit up. He had been beaten up many times by Jiang Wanzhou just to see the dusk. Later, although he still cared about it, he no longer expected it. Unexpectedly, he heard Jiang Wanzhou take the initiative to mention it today.

That being the case, then practice it.

He flew up, unsheathed his long sword, and slashed at Jiang Wanzhou's chest.Seeing him coming very fast, Jiang Wanzhou heard the wind howling. "Huh", turned around to avoid it, as if he didn't expect Yao Ximu's swordsmanship to improve so fast.

The two of them were under the tree, their swords were like silver flood dragons, and their spirit was like a rainbow. Every sword move seemed ordinary, yet unpredictable.The more he practiced, the smoother he became, the faster his speed became, and the sound of the wind tightened in his ears. Without thinking about it, Yao Ximu made a move of Baiyun out of Xiu, and swung his sword.Jiang Wanzhou flicked his wrist, deftly parrying his sword.

In an instant, the two had passed thirty strokes against each other.

Jiang Wanzhou became more and more puzzled. It turned out that Yao Ximu was about to lose at most fifteen moves in his hands. Why did he suddenly improve so much?He didn't have time to think about the reasons for Yao Ximu's improvement, but he quickly realized that Yao Ximu could barely become his opponent now.He became excited and concentrated on observing the subtleties of Yao Ximu's sword.

The two practiced swords together since childhood, and Yao Ximu has never defeated Jiang Wanzhou. In addition to Jiang Wanzhou's exquisite and unpredictable swordsmanship moves, it is also because Jiang Wanzhou has practiced "Three Plum Blossoms" since childhood, and her internal strength is extremely strong. , When he puts his internal energy into the blade of the sword, and urges the sword energy, it is like a long wind returning snow, flying flowers and blowing jade.

After Yao Ximu practiced "The Illusion of the Crane", his internal strength improved greatly, and he was able to obtain thirty moves with Jiang Wanzhou's sword. After 35 strokes, Yao Ximu's sword force was exhausted, and he responded immediately, returning to the sword and slashing diagonally.Jiang Wanzhou was faster than him, and with a flick of the sword, it pierced his thumb.

"Kang Dang." At dawn, Jiang Wanzhou deliberately teased him, chasing after him, forcing Yao Ximu to back up again and again, bumping into the sweet-scented osmanthus tree behind him, falling to the ground, covered in a rain of flowers.

"I lost." Jiang Wanzhou withdrew his sword.

"Then do you still lend me the evening?" Yao Xi sat on the ground with drooping brows, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Wait until you can hold your sword firmly and not be picked off by me."

Jiang Wanzhou stretched out his hand to pull him up, Yao Ximu retrieved Li Xiao, wiped it carefully with a cloth before sheathing the sword.

"Who are you going to send me to kill this time?"

"You can't wait?"

"The person you plan to assassinate yourself is definitely not that simple. I have to prepare in advance."

Jiang Wanzhou sat with him at the table in the bamboo pavilion.The tables and chairs are also made of green bamboo, exuding a faint bamboo fragrance, like jade to the touch.Yao Ximu took the kettle and poured water, offered the first cup to Jiang Wanzhou, drank the second cup by himself, poured another cup, repeated the previous action, and was about to drink the third cup of water .

"Hey." Jiang Wanzhou stopped drinking, "Do you know what kind of water this is? It's such a good drink, it's a waste of everything."

"The bamboo root water collected on the rainy day was sieved with cotton cloth, sealed in an altar and buried in the bamboo forest. It was taken out yesterday and boiled with sweet-scented osmanthus."

"You know you still drink it like this? It's not easy for Chanyi to do this. It's only such a small jar for a year. It's a pity that you drink it up in just a few gulps."

"It's a pity." Yao Ximu was dissatisfied, sneered, put the water glass on the table heavily, and said in a strange way: "This is specially made for you to drink, and I don't deserve it. Naturally, it's a cow chewing peony , reckless."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wanzhou became a little annoyed when he heard his words.

"It's nothing interesting. If you don't drink, don't drink. What's the big deal!" Yao Ximu got angry, got up and walked away, Jiang Wanzhou grabbed his hand and pulled him vigorously into his arms.

Yao Ximu sat in his arms unexpectedly, gritted his teeth and turned his head, "Let me go!" Jiang Wanzhou firmly grasped his waving wrist, looking at Yao Ximu coldly, Yao Ximu's wrist hurts Wanting to be broken, he turned his head and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Admit your mistake!" Jiang Wanzhou's eyes were gloomy, the previous cold had turned to ice, the black clouds turned black, and the mountains and rain were about to come.

Yao Ximu was completely enraged, and he burst out boldly: "I recognize your mother's size!" He clenched his fists, and turned into a crab with baring teeth and claws.With luck in his dantian, his body arched wildly, and his head hit upwards desperately, almost smashing Jiang Wanzhou's jaw.

Jiang Wanzhou dropped his hand to touch his chin, and Yao Ximu took the opportunity to roll aside, and swept the teapot and wine glasses under the table one after another, smashing them to pieces.

Needless to say, the two started fighting.

When everyone heard the movement and rushed over, the pavilion was almost destroyed by the two of them.In the end, Jiang Wanzhou carried Yao Ximu, whose acupoints were restricted, to the door of the firewood room aggressively, and threw it in. After locking the door himself, Jiang Wanzhou calmly ordered everyone: "No one is allowed to let him out without my order." !"

Anxiang Liuhe looked at each other for a while, and each left, only Mo Li looked at the door, with the corner of his mouth curled down, expressing sympathy to Yao Ximu.And Wen Chanyi walked out of the room leisurely, came up to Jiang Wanzhou, and said with concern: "The young master's hair is all messed up, what's wrong?"

"Hmph." Jiang Wanzhou walked away in a huff, and walked into the house quickly, ignoring him.Wen Chanyi followed, looked back at the firewood room with her eyes closed, and covered her mouth with a chuckle.

Yao Ximu fell on the messy firewood, his back hurting, he was about to go crazy, Jiang Wanzhou touched several of his acupoints, the technique was weird, his dantian seemed to be sealed by a ball of cotton, he Desperately raising Qi to attack the acupoints, it lasted for a while, and it took almost four hours before a thin and light true Qi overflowed from the dantian.Yao Ximu was overjoyed, and urged this zhenqi to activate the sealed acupoints one by one.

Moving her numb wrist, Yao Ximu stumbled to the softer straw, spread her limbs and lay on it, gasping for breath.When he lost his strength, his anger also subsided, and when the anger dissipated, the sense of frustration enveloped his heart again. .

Why did you start a fight with the young master again?The young master must hate me even more now.

Jiang Wanzhou deliberately starved Yao Ximu for a day, his stomach was empty, so he didn't have the energy to commit the following crimes.Little did he know that Yao Ximu had already conducted a deep review of his behavior, and he didn't have the energy to care about whether he was hungry, let alone clamoring for food.

What is it about me?Yao Xi mused and thought with drooping eyebrows, he had been imprisoned in Tianxian Lake for so long, he knew very well that it was useless to be anxious, no matter how boring or helpless he was, he had passed it, this kind of time is very suitable for thinking .Yao Ximu thought he had failed very much. He thought that after seeing the sun again, he would be very different from before, at least he would be more stable and dignified, but in the end he was still frizzy.

Drinking water should not be so urgent, the master also scolded me for drinking, so the young master naturally couldn't stand it.In fact, it is not difficult to make bamboo root water, and I can do it too.If I don't say anything, the young master doesn't know either, it's just a rare thing, seeing me drink like that is naturally dissatisfied.What did I contradict him for?No wonder he doesn't like me, if this goes on, he will only hate me more and more.Yao Ximu became disgusted with himself, thinking that Jiang Wanzhou was very reasonable, and that he was indeed wrong from beginning to end.

Early the next morning, Shan Chui let him out, and Yao Ximu was brought listlessly in front of Jiang Wanzhou with his head covered in straw.

Jiang Wanzhou was sitting in a chair and checking the news sent by Zhuifeng without raising her head.

"I was wrong." Yao Ximu rushed forward to hug his leg, Jiang Wanzhou pulled his leg back without moving, and said in a cold voice, "Let go."

Yao Ximu let go as promised, still sitting on the ground, looking at him eagerly, like a kitten or puppy.Jiang Wanzhou wasn't hard-hearted, so let's forget about him admitting his mistake and making such a pitiful appearance.He stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, but Yao Ximulai couldn't get up on the ground, and put his head on his knee with lowered eyes.

"Young master, you hate me, don't you?" He didn't wait for Jiang Wanzhou to speak, and said to himself, "I feel that everything I do in front of you is wrong."

Jiang Wanzhou's hand paused in the air for a moment, and finally rested lightly on his head, "I don't dislike you." He picked out the straw from Yao Ximu's head and threw it away: "I'm strict with you, but For your own good. You are always bluffing, no different from when you were a child, when will you grow up?"

"I don't know." Yao Ximu raised his head, curled his mouth with a self-deprecating smile: "I don't want to make you angry all the time."

Jiang Wanzhou didn't speak, but held his shoulder.

Feeling the heat from his shoulders, Yao Ximu looked at him blankly, his eyes piercing his heart.

"If one day, you don't want me to follow you. Just tell me, I'll go away immediately, and I won't stay by your side again, making you hate it."

"Stupid words..." Jiang Wanzhou touched his face: "If you leave, who will be my housekeeper? Who will cook for me?"

Yao Ximu laughed when he heard the words, his pretty face was full of foolishness.

"You still want mine, don't you?"

Jiang Wanzhou nodded to him and opened her arms: "Come here."

Yao Ximu was ecstatic, threw himself into Jiang Wanzhou's arms, buried his head in the hollow of his shoulder, and sniffed his breath greedily.

It smells so good!It's so warm!Yao Ximu thought: How could I like him so much?
