Chapter 99: Hide and Seek

The person who came was the lady proprietress of the restaurant, who held two jugs of wine in her hands, and said bluntly, almost aggressively: "I don't think you are very happy, so I came here to drink with you."

Yao Ximu smiled slightly, he was disappointed, but politely did not show it in front of her.He just took the wine jar she handed over with slightly trembling hands, raised his head and drank it.A gust of wind mixed with yellow sand rushed towards his face, Yao Ximu's chest heaved, his eyes were bright, and he woke up in the moonlight, as if he looked completely new.

"Good drinker." The proprietress handed the remaining jar to Yao Ximu, "Drink this jar, and I'll give you something."

Yao Ximu drank the wine down to the last drop, and the proprietress put a wax pill in his hand.

Inside the wax pill was a letter, which Yao Ximu recognized. It was still Yu Xingye's own handwriting, but there was only one line of poetry:

High-rise buildings this night, sighing is not free.

Then the proprietress told him another piece of news, still an address: "Jinguan City in Central Shu, Huanhuaxi Zhuhan Hall."

Yao Ximu shook his head helplessly, not knowing how long this hide-and-seek will last.He looked up at the moon, silently in a daze, and felt angry in his heart - no matter what, he had to follow the clues Yu Xingye left for him. He couldn't get rid of the knowledge that Yu Xingye was dead, but he couldn't give up Regardless.

Without hesitation, he set off for Jinguan City in the middle of Sichuan.

Just after entering Shuzhong, I heard the news that Miss Tang Sect was getting married, and the wedding was scheduled for the fifth day of this month.Yao Ximu came to his senses, senior brother was going to join the Tang Sect, he didn't bring extra banknotes with him, and he didn't have time to buy expensive gifts, but luckily he always carried the orb that Li Huimao gave him back then.This bead is very valuable and can be given as a gift. Yao Ximu bought an agarwood box, put the bead in it, decorated it well, and headed towards Tangmen.

He hurried quickly, and finally arrived at Tangmen on the fifth day of the lunar new year.Because he didn't receive the wedding invitation, he was not allowed to enter the house, so he presented a gift and explained that he was the groom's junior.Just when he was confused, He Si saw him, pulled him over, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said excitedly: "Isn't this my Xiaoximu! Come in!"

Yao Ximu was dragged into the main seat by He Si.

The sound of drums was loud.

Sitting here are relatives of both parties and well-known figures in the martial arts. Wu Jin sat far away in front of the jade screen above, accepting the new couple's kneeling and saluting.

Because Lin Shuyu got married, Yao Ximu was very happy. As a relative of the man, he rushed to drink with others everywhere.The bridegroom, Lin Shuyu, was not drunk, but Yao Ximu was almost drunk. He provoked others everywhere with his twinkling eyes, and his smile was like a peach blossom, which made the guests fascinated by the astonishment.Tang Miaomiao, who was in the new house, heard about it, turned off her hijab, and dressed in a bright red bridal gown, rushed to the front hall to grab Yao Ximu's ear.

The daughter of Shuzhong is aggressive, and Tangmen has always been ruled by women. Some people can't understand Tang Miaomiao's behavior and frowned, thinking that it is unseemly for a bride to rush out without restraint.But Tang Miaomiao didn't care at all, she held Yao Ximu's ear on tiptoe, and said angrily: "Stinky Yao! It's fine if you don't show up, but come and steal my limelight as soon as you show up!" Lin Shuyu also came up, but didn't stop her Tang Miaomiao just looked at them with a smile.

"Tang Miaomiao, if it weren't for you being a bride today, I would beat you up."

"If you dare to beat me, I will poison you into a pig's head."

Yao Ximu turned around and saw Tang Miaomiao who was close at hand.

"Oh, let me look at the bride with my pig head." Yao Ximu looked down at her, as if the two of them got along in Crane Valley, "Why does such a beautiful bride always keep saying that she wants to poison others into pigs?" Where's the head?"

Tang Miaomiao's phoenix crown and Xiapei are more beautiful than before, her dark eyes are full of tears, and the hand holding Yao Ximu's ear is clenched into a fist and punches him. It is obviously a fierce tone, but because of missing, The tenderness and softness she talked about was so fierce that she had no confidence.

"Stinky Ayao, in these years, I haven't come to Shuzhong to see me once. I have come to Luomei Villa many times, but I haven't seen you once."

Yao Ximu tilted his head and made fun of her: "Did you come to Luomei Villa to see me, or to see my brother?"

Tang Miaomiao smiled shyly and timidly when she heard the words, turned her head and glanced at Lin Shuyu beside her, reached out her hand to hold his arm, and looked like a small bird: "How is it? Are you greedy?"

"Tsk tsk tsk." Yao Ximu feigned anger, shook his head and closed his eyes in pain, then turned his back with his hips on his hips, "I'm so greedy that I can't look at it!"

Tang Miaomiao let go of Lin Shuyu, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Where are you and your young master?"

As soon as this remark came out, Lin Shuyu quickly called out "Miaomiao." Tang Miaomiao glanced at Lin Shuyu because she didn't understand, "What's wrong? Can't I mention it?"

Yao Ximu blinked like a normal person, and said to Tang Miaomiao: "Miss Tang, I am no longer a dead man in the Crane Valley, without a young master, I am free at last."

"Ayao." Tang Miaomiao seemed to realize something, carefully looked at Yao Ximu's face, and said softly: "It's okay, I will be your sister-in-law from now on, anyone who dares to bully you, just report me the name of Tang Sect, scare you!" Break his guts."

"Thank you sister-in-law, I will remember it in my heart." Yao Ximu blew a kiss to Tang Miaomiao, then turned to face Lin Shuyu, apologetic: "Senior brother, I am really sorry, originally I should be the best man, But because of haste, I didn't even prepare the ceremony, and I came so late."

"Stupid child." Lin Shuyu brushed off the dust on his body, and said distressedly: "I think you must have traveled a long way. You don't care about your body so much. I'm sorry. If the master sees it, you still have to read it." And you."

"Master?" Yao Ximu looked around, covered his mouth and said softly, "Since you worshiped the world, he disappeared, so he has no time to talk about me."

The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to say, and they chatted a few words in the hall, but they always received all kinds of glances.Tang Miaomiao was impatient to be surrounded by other guests, so she decided to move to the side hall in the backyard to continue chatting.

The night of festivities and candles in Lin Shuyu's bridal chamber became a scene for the three of them to gossip.

When it was almost three o'clock, Yao Ximu felt sorry and got up to leave, but Tang Miaomiao held him back and blurted out: "You haven't told me what fish you ate under Tianxian Lake, I want to eat it too." Eat, next time you make me a try."

Yao Xi couldn't help but laugh, and said to Tang Miaomiao: "Tonight is a good time for you, don't ruin it because of me. You crazy girl, your husband won't accompany you, you insist on relying on me, let me go, I But those who don’t have a daughter-in-law are very greedy now. If I use some tricky brains and tell some shady secrets, I really won’t let you bridal chambers.”

"I won't let it go. I haven't seen you for so long, and you don't like talking about it."

Yao Ximu threatened: "You really won't let me go? Then I'll say it."

"Tell me, let's see what kind of ivory you can spit out of your dog's mouth."

"It's true." Yao Ximu coughed lightly, and sighed to Lin Shuyu pretendingly: "Brother, Miaomiao has seen my ass before, do you mind?"

"Bah!" Tang Miaomiao let go of her hand quickly, spat at him with a blushing face, and said angrily, "Who has seen yours..." Her voice lowered, she was ashamed and angry, "Then what!" She turned to Lin Shuyu said softly: "Brother Lin, don't believe Ayao's nonsense, he's just spreading rumors, if you let him go on, he'll even blame me for the scandal of watching "Longyang Eighteen Styles"."

"Tang Miaomiao." Yao Ximu pointed at her, "I'd forget about it if you didn't tell me! It's all because of you, and I haven't settled with you yet."

Tang Miaomiao covered her face, laughing endlessly.

The embarrassing things when I was young are as clear as yesterday, but it has really been a long time.That "Longyang Eighteen Styles" had been thrown away for a long time, but Yao Ximu was a little bit embarrassed - if he hadn't read that book that day, would he have climbed onto Jiang Wanzhou's bed in a daze?

Yes, if not that day, then someday in the future.At that time, he was really deeply infatuated with Jiang Wanzhou. His infatuation was a mixture of love, trust, and admiration. He was passionate and straightforward, without complaint or regret.

As for what happened next, it was unexpected.The world was unpredictable. He once thought that as long as he left Jiang Wanzhou, he would be poisoned by lovesickness and die of hatred.

No no?

"Hahahaha." Yao Ximu laughed loudly, took Lin Shuyu and Tang Miaomiao's hands, held them together, and said sincerely: "Brother, Miaomiao, I don't have many relatives in this world. The two of you are considered my dearest people, and I sincerely hope that you will grow old together forever." Lin Shuyu stepped forward to hug him, and Tang Miaomiao gently pinched his face, her eyes closed. Tears are also very emotional: "Ayao, we also wish you well. You look so beautiful, who would be willing to make you sad?"

Jiang Wanzhou came later than Yao Ximu, he arrived in a hurry on the third day after the wedding.First, he went forward to apologize to the head of the Tang Sect and He Si, and then offered congratulatory gifts in person.He Si called someone to invite the newlyweds to meet the guests.

Tang Miaomiao had nothing to say to Jiang Wanzhou. After some polite greetings, she couldn't help but say something extra: "Master Jiang, you came a bit late. If you arrived earlier, you might still meet A Yao. .”

"He's gone?" Jiang Wanzhou was slightly taken aback.

"Just left." Tang Miaomiao nodded.

Jiang Wanzhou restrained her temper and bid farewell to He Si without losing courtesy.As soon as he went out, he hit his horse and galloped, trying to catch up with Yao Ximu who had just left.

Because the scenery along the way in the middle of Shu was very good, Yao Ximu didn't hurry, he left with Wu Jin.The master and apprentice chatted all the way, and Yao Ximu knew that Wu Jin had resigned from Qingyang envoy and left Luomei Villa.

"Master, senior brother entered the Tang Sect, what about the medicine in the back mountain? No one is guarding it, so it won't be harmed by wild cats?" Yao Ximu showed worry on his face: "And Ah Da, we all left, he stayed alone. Are you not alone there?"

"Bai Qun will take care of it. I think the villa owner wants Bai Qun to take over as the envoy of Qingyang."

Yao Ximu nodded, feeling a little perplexed.

"Little Fatty." Wu Jin patted him on the shoulder: "Master knows that you are reluctant to part with the medicine house, but I am also reluctant. You can ask Xiao Shuyu, and he is even more reluctant. But if you are reluctant to return, those who cannot return will always come back. No, it's no big deal."

"I know." Yao Ximu looked at Wu Jin, Wu Jin's sword eyebrows and starry eyes were still so unrestrained, but there was more vicissitudes and stability in his eyes, not as wanton as he was when he was young.

Seeing him looking straight at him, Wu Jin couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing looking at me stupidly? Have you committed another stupid disease?"

Yao Ximu sighed, and realized that he was already as tall as Wu Jin. When he first met, looking up at him, he felt that he was so tall, so good-looking, almost like a god.

"Do you think Master is getting old?"

"No, I've grown up." Yao Ximu leaned his head on Wu Jin's shoulder and muttered, "It's inconvenient to act like a baby with you."

"Is it disgusting?" Wu Jin stroked his head, his tone was very doting: "A young man just wants to act like a spoiled child to me."

"Hey." Yao Ximu hugged Wu Jin's arm, very reluctantly: "Master, do you want to go back to Qianqiu Mountain with Pavilion Master Song?"

"Yes." Wu Jin turned his head to look at him: "What about you?"

"I'm going to find someone."

After hearing this, Wu Jin looked at Yao Ximu meaningfully, finally patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Ximu, you have grown up, and you can decide many things yourself. Master is very pleased. The world There is no feast that lasts, but remember, Master loves you. If you are tired from running outside, go back to Master."

"Master..." Yao Ximu was very moved, and embraced Wu Jin affectionately.

After hugging for a while, someone became displeased, and Song Yizhi rode over to urge him: "Ah Jin—"

Wu Jin let go of Yao Ximu, looked up and gave him a blank look. Song Yi's face was aggrieved: "Ah Jin, you talked to your little apprentice all the way, and you forgot about me. I was walking alone on the road, deserted, no one It’s so pitiful that no one loves you.”

"Master, long time no see." Yao Ximu greeted him with a smile.
