Jianghu are all masters

226.

Lu Zhaoming's hand was still on the hilt of the sword, and he frowned and looked at Hualiuque, as if he wanted to find signs of lying on Hualiuque's face.

Hua Liuque still had lingering fears, he felt his legs hurt when he saw Lu Zhaoming's sword, and the safest place on the field was obviously behind Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Trembling with fright, he hugged Zhang Xiaoyuan's arm tightly, and explained in all panic: "Elder brother! I'm serious this time!"

Lu Zhaoming didn't say a word, his eyes stopped on Hua Liuque's hand holding Zhang Xiaoyuan's arm, the hand holding the sword became more and more vigorous, that gaze made Hua Liuque's whole body stiffen, and he knew in an instant that he had committed a crime. Blunder.

How could he hug Zhang Xiaoyuan's arm in front of Lu Zhaoming!

He is seeking his own death!

Hualiuque quickly let go, wishing to jump a few feet away, and quickly hid beside She Shuyi, with a terrified expression, said: "Brother, listen to my explanation!"

Lu Zhaoming raised his eyebrows.

"You...don't you want to go down the mountain to find that beggar!" Hua Liuque hurriedly said, "If time is not tight, I will take you to meet the person I like."

It took Zhang Xiaoyuan a while to come back to his senses.

Wait, isn't that a little bit wrong.

How long have they been gone?Why does Hualiuque suddenly seem to have a lover who loves each other?

Seeing that Lu Zhaoming hadn't made any next move yet, Hua Liuque said cautiously, "She's a newly moved painter from the county."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Painter?"

"I really like her paintings." Hua Liuque couldn't help nodding, "She also plays the piano very well."

He knew that his reputation in the past was really bad, and the elder brother and the others probably wouldn't trust him easily, so he could only try to explain his love for that person to everyone. He sighed deeply, and the first sentence at the beginning was: " I used to be so superficial!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "...Superficial?"

"I used to only like faces." Hua Liuque couldn't help but regret, "When two people fall in love, they can only look at faces!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan was stunned.

What's wrong with this world, Hualiuque doesn't even look at other people's faces anymore?

If he didn't hear it wrong, then Hua Liuque probably took the wrong medicine.

Lu Zhaoming really didn't believe what Hualiuque said at all, but Cao Zilian had been so close to Hualiuque these days, he had already noticed it, and couldn't help but smiled and rushed to say, "During this period of time , Hua Liuque slips down the mountain every day to meet his beloved."

Hualiuque showed a face immersed in happiness, and said in a voice that was almost tiresome: "She can also play the flute."

Wang Henian was a little surprised: "Liu Que slips down the mountain every day?"

Hua Liuque sighed deeply: "Although I have never seen her face, she is my confidant in this life."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't stand Hualiuque's idiot-like tone, he frowned, and simply looked at the top of Hualiuque's head, it was only a few months since they left for the capital, suddenly there were more people around Hualiuque With such a "confidante girl", and now that Ming Pavilion is trying every means to find out the whereabouts of the second senior brother, he is inevitably a little worried that Hua Liuque has fallen into the tender trap of the other party.

Don't forget, there is still Li Ersi in Tianming Pavilion, she is a person who has the courage to compete with Mo Wentian, the leader of the Demon Cult, Zhang Xiaoyuan will inevitably be a little worried.

But he hadn't seen the ugly Yinmao from the head of Hua Liuque, and he heard She Shuyi asked in surprise: "Have you never seen his face?"

Hualiuque nodded affectionately.

Cao Zilian couldn't stand Hualiuque's appearance anymore, he was speechless in disgust, and said, "Master, I went to that painting studio with him."

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at Cao Zilian.

"That person never showed her face from the beginning to the end, and she didn't say a few words. She used to buy paintings, and she only met people through the bamboo curtain." Cao Zilian said, "The nearby farmers said that she was walking from home. After the water ruined her face, she lived in seclusion here, played a song for Hua Liuque, and Hua Liuque wished to go to other people's painting studio every day."

Hualiuque frantically shook his head.

"What do you know!" Hua Liuque yelled, "She played Fengqiuhuang for me!"

Cao Zilian: "It's just a coincidence."

Hualiuque: "The next day is Sauvignon Blanc!"

Cao Zilian: "Maybe she knows these two songs."

Hualiuque: "On the third day, she invited me to drink! Talk about poetry with me!"

Cao Zilian couldn't help it: "She hasn't talked to you from the beginning to the end! She just wrote you a few notes, so what kind of poetry is that? Also, the second senior brother and I were there that day, okay?"

Wang Henian was stunned: "You all slipped down the mountain in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Jianyu finally recovered from the embarrassment he had just had, he coughed lightly, looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan and She Shuyi with searching eyes, and took the initiative to explain, so as to avoid the topic just now.

"That person is very strange. She never walked out of the small room behind the bamboo curtain, and she seldom spoke. At most, she wrote a few notes to talk to us." Jiang Jianyu said, "And what she wrote on the note... It’s an ancient poem, and it’s really a mouthful.”

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked: "Didn't she say that?"

"What's wrong with the poems!" Hualiuque covered her chest, "Fantasy flowers, snow and moons are always linked with poems and songs, you ordinary people will never understand!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought for a while, Li Ersi is a Hu, her official speech is not correct enough, she can dance Hu dance, Guqin seems to be a bit difficult for her, not to mention that Hua Liuque said that the woman in the painting studio is not good enough. Knowing how to play the flute and proficient in various ancient Chinese poems, it should not be Li Ersi.

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked: "Is her handwriting pretty?"

Just as Jiang Jianyu was about to speak, Hua Liuque took a step forward and said, "Her hand was injured in the fire, and now she is learning to write with her left hand, and her writing is not very good-looking."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

In his heart, he felt that this person was extremely suspicious, but seeing Hua Liuque's happy appearance of finally meeting his true love, he could only temporarily suppress his doubts in his heart until he was sure that there was something wrong with this person.

He looked at Lu Zhaoming, their eyes met, and he was thinking in his heart that the senior brother might not understand anything, but suddenly saw another sentence popping out of Lu Zhaoming's head.

Lu Zhaoming: "Are you suspicious of that person?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Lu Zhaoming: "Yes, just blink."

Zhang Xiaoyuan blinked immediately.

Lu Zhaoming let go of his hand on the hilt of the sword, his expression was still calm, he turned to Hualiuque, and said, "You said you have changed, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't believe it."

Hua Liuque still shrank behind Wang Henian and She Shuyi, and said, "Elder brother, I really changed my mind!"

"Okay." Lu Zhaoming nodded slightly, and naturally changed the topic to this matter, "Take me to have a look tomorrow."

……

They rested overnight at Shimen, and Zhang Xiaoyuan woke up before dawn the next morning.

He had a nightmare all night. First, he dreamed that Lin Yi came to their master's door and captured the second senior brother. Then it became Lin Yi inexplicably forcing him to recite the sword manual. If he recited a word wrong, the second brother Brother will be headed to the ground.

It was horrible.

Zhang Xiaoyuan only felt that he was under a lot of pressure. He got up early to wash up and looked at the sword manual in the courtyard. He read a few pages, and then saw Lu Zhaoming coming back from the martial arts training ground with his sword in hand, and a pigeon that had lost a lot of weight and was finally in normal shape was squatting on his shoulder. , cooing and chattering as if urging him to go back to eat quickly.

After Zhang Xiaoyuan greeted him, Lu Zhaoming sat down beside him and asked, "What are your plans for today?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan replied: "Go to Liuzhi first, and then go to meet Hua Liuque's sweetheart."

"I asked Master, most of the beggar gang disciples in Fengji County gather in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city when they have nothing to do." Lu Zhaoming replied, "Even if Liuzhi is not there, other people should be able to find him. "

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded, and asked again: "Just the two of us?"

"Master's intention is that the second junior brother stay here, and the rest go with us." Lu Zhaoming thought for a while, and then said, "With master and uncle here, even if Tianming Pavilion came directly to the door, the two of them can Protect Second Junior Brother thoroughly."

Zhang Xiaoyuan had no choice but to nod again. Hua Liuque and the other three seemed to have not gotten up yet. There was only him and his elder brother sitting in the courtyard. He didn't know what to say for a moment. : "This matter is over, do you want to go home?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan replied subconsciously: "I've been away from home for so long... After this year, why should I go home and have a look?"

He turned his head and found that Lu Zhaoming's expression was flat, and he never looked at him. He simply raised his head to look at the sky, leaning his body slightly backwards.

Lu Zhaoming said: "I came to the division when I was four or five years old in the capital."

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't know what he wanted to say, so he nodded along.

Lu Zhaoming added: "Shimen is not really Jiangnan, it's too far north, it doesn't feel like a water town."

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that senior brother seemed to be looking for something to say today, but he could only nod along.

Looking at the pigeons in the air, Lu Zhaoming seemed to be trying his best to maintain the understatement on his face. After a long while, he said, "Can I go to Jiangnan to have a look?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "If you want to—"

He paused, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

Eldest brother asked so many questions, maybe he wants to go home with him to have a look?

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help hesitating, he didn't know what to do for a while: "I..."

"Jiangnan is great!" Cao Zilian's voice suddenly came from behind, "I haven't been to Jiangnan either! I want to see it too!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

Cao Zilian: "Ashaner! You haven't seen Jiangnan either!"

Asher: "Oh... a lot of water?"

Cao Zilian: "There are rivers everywhere! There are boats!"

A Shaner nodded immediately: "The Central Plains is really interesting!"

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

Lu Zhao stood up abruptly, turned his head expressionlessly, and said, "You two have been in the academy for several months."

Cao Zilian was still thinking about his Jiangnan, and his tone was very excited: "Yes! Senior brother! I have memorized the sword manual!"

Lu Zhaoming had already put his hand on the sword.

"Just right." He said coolly, "It's time to test your homework."
