Su Zhongming followed everyone into the flower hall, and when he saw a very dignified woman sitting inside, he couldn't help being startled, walked up quickly, and called her 'cousin'.Shi Luoqiu greeted him with a smile on his face, "Long time no see, Zhong Ming."

"Why did you come here? You came with Ah Qing..." Su Zhongming was quite curious, and came to sit beside her.Shi Luoqiu replied bluntly, "It was your adopted sister who wrote to me, saying that you had gone to Guangling country, and wanted to come to you because of some things, and happened to meet this Mr. Yi on the way."

"Is something wrong? Could it be... something happened to Prince Shi's mansion?" Su Zhongming blurted out.Shi Luoqiu shook her head, and asked the accompanying maid to take out a small wooden box. She opened the box herself, took out a piece of paper inside, and handed it to Su Zhongming.

Su Zhongming took the paper, opened it, and saw clearly written '2000 taels of silver' and a big red seal on it, which really shocked him, "So much money, it's..." Shi Luoqiu continued His chapter, "It's for you." Su Zhongming shuddered, "Give it to me? Why?"

"I heard that your people need a lot of silver, and I can only give so much." Shi Luoqiu replied, as if sighing that he couldn't help.

Su Zhongming flatly refused, and handed it back to her, "This is money from Prince Shi's residence, I cannot owe your father any favors, this money... I can't accept it." Shi Luoqiu pushed it back again, "This is not my family's money , this is the betrothal gift given to me by Lord Landan."

Su Zhongming was taken aback again, "What dowry gift?" Shi Luoqiu still replied gracefully, "A few days ago, I got married and became a noble concubine in the palace. This is the dowry gift promised to me by the Lord Landan." Su Zhongming Hearing this, he smiled, "It turns out that you are married, congratulations." Shi Luoqiu was not necessarily happy, and replied with a wry smile, "My family and His Majesty's family are distant relatives, but Your Majesty has taken a fancy to me for a long time, and has called me Queen many times. Persuade me to marry into the court, today I am willing to be wronged and agree, it is all for the sake of my aunt's family..."

Su Zhongming never thought that the 2000 taels of silver was exchanged for a woman's lifelong happiness. He looked down at the receipt in his hand, decided to accept it, and replied, "Thank you...cousin..."

Shi Luoqiu looked at his face, sighed softly, and said, "You seem to have lost a lot of weight, you must have suffered a lot these days..." Su Zhongming opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a boy's voice came Unexpectedly, a sound came, "Hmph, he hasn't eaten yet! Of course he lost weight!"

When Shi Luoqiu heard this, he became a little serious, "Have you ruined yourself again? It seems that I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of my aunt." Su Zhongming turned to look at Yitian, stretched out his hand and patted him on the head, teaching him a lesson. He was talkative, turned around, saw Shi Luoqiu who was in front of him took out a ruler, couldn't help breaking out in a little cold sweat, and thought: Isn't it... Could it be that...

Sure enough, Shi Luoqiu ordered him, "Stretch out your hand! Palm up!" Su Zhongming reluctantly stretched out his uninjured hand, palm up, Shi Luoqiu mercilessly dropped the ruler, and slapped it In the palm of his hand, Su Zhongming only frowned and endured it, without crying out for pain.

There were a total of fifteen blows, until Su Zhongming's palm was slightly red. After the beating, Shi Luoqiu put away the ruler and gently wiped away his red palm, "I can't help it, you If you don't behave obediently, I can only punish you on behalf of my deceased aunt." Then asked with concern, "Are you hungry? I brought Lan Dan's prescription over here."

Su Zhongming nodded, and then said to her, "Cousin, the world is uncertain now, cousin should go back earlier! It will be safer to stay at home." Shi Luoqiu replied, "Well, I know that, it's just..." Before he could say a word, Murong Qinmei hurried in. Seeing that his expression was not right, Wen Qian hurriedly asked him, "What's wrong with Uncle?"

Murong Qinmei sat down and replied, "Something happened on Yangui Island!" Su Zhongming followed up and asked, "What happened?" Murong Qinmei replied, "My son went to deliver something to Mr. Sun that day, but He was not in the house, but after looking around, he found that he died under the flowers and trees, and he came to tell me in horror."

Everyone heard the words, except for Shi Luoqiu, all looked calm, and Wen Qian didn't take it seriously, blurting out: "Uncle, we already knew about this, not only that, we also saw with our own eyes that he was killed by a masked man." Sha died." Murong Qinmei was taken aback, and stood up quickly, "What! Then why do you stand by and watch?!"

"Oh, uncle," Wen Qian walked to his side and said, "That grandson is a bastard! He has harmed so many people in this world, and he deserves it when he dies." Murong Qinmei was worried, "Zhang Don’t talk nonsense, niece! This distinguished guest died in our house, if Xi Yutai pursues him, it will always cause trouble.”

"Isn't he just an ordinary knight-errant? Anyway, those who beat Shasha are going to die, so why bother with one more death?" Wen Qian replied disapprovingly.Murong Qinmei was very helpless, "If it is really just an ordinary knight-errant, can I be so worried like now? My niece, he is the uncle who is currently the head of Xiyutai!"

"I heard that Xue Muhua, the head of the school, was already on good terms with Ji when he was young, so he must have excelled in martial arts now." Yan Ying thought for a while and blurted out.Murong Qinmei followed up and said, "Long Yuxin taught his kung fu, of course it's not bad! But, after Long Yuxin lived in seclusion, he couldn't find him, so he had to go to Xiyutai to learn martial arts."

"Who is Long Yuxin?" Wen Qian tilted her head, puzzled.Murong Qinmei replied, "He is the owner of the Xuanxiu Valley known as Penglai Xuanjun! Long Yuxin is his name." Su Zhongming's eyes widened and he was taken aback, "How did the master know? !"

Murong Qinmei sighed softly, "He lived in seclusion with my eldest brother and lived a life of indifference from the world. Does our family know about it? After my eldest brother left home, the third brother was not there at that time, but The second sister is also married, so I will bear the burden of being in charge of the family. I once sent someone to find the leader of the Hongyan sect, Chang, and asked her to show the Murong family the way to Xuanxiu Valley, and wanted to find the eldest brother, but how could she None."

"Is it true that only Master Chang knows the way to get there?" Su Zhongming blurted out.Murong Qinmei looked at him, "Young Master Su...does anyone else know about it?" Su Zhongming immediately confessed, "The masked man who killed Sun Qingming on Yangui Island should be from Xuanxiu Valley. Because the saber he is holding belongs to Xuanjun Penglai."

Murong Qinmei hesitated for a moment, and replied: "This...it's hard to explain clearly." Shi Luoqiu who was at the side was confused by what they were talking about, so he couldn't help interrupting, pouring out his distress, "It's dead and alive again. The masked man’s talk made my brain turn from one to two.”

After hearing this, Murong Qinmei laughed, and said apologetically, "The Murong family has practiced martial arts for generations, and they are a family of martial arts practitioners. If we don't talk about martial arts or Jianghu grievances, I'm afraid I can't say anything else. I hope the girl doesn't mind."

"Has that person's body been buried?" Yang Bin said suddenly.Murong Qinmei replied, "My third brother has already led people to set fire to burn the body outside, and then send people to send the ashes to Xiyutai." Wen Qian was puzzled by this, "Huh, if you die, you will die. You can't bury the ashes casually." Just get it? Why did you send it back on purpose so that people would know.”

Su Zhongming pondered for a while, then continued: "Yanguidao Murong is famous and virtuous in the world, if Tiansun Qingming's body is secretly disposed of, if someone finds a clue and comes to the door in the future, the century-old reputation of the Murong family will be lost. Instead of doing this, why not send it back to Xiyutai for an explanation, even if there is a real quarrel, it can only be said that Xiyutai is not generous enough. Presumably the head of the family thinks so?"

Murong Qinmei nodded in agreement, and suddenly sighed regretfully, "Oh... such a clever mind, it's a pity not to be the son-in-law of my Murong family." Zhang just fell, and a female voice floated over, "Look at you, why did you say that again? Speaking of this matter, are you embarrassing Mr. Su or something?"

Su Zhongming followed the prestige, glanced at the person who came, and called her "fourth lady". The fourth lady walked in and said jokingly: "So many people are gathered here, are they plotting? Or are they talking about morality?" They glanced at each other, just smiled apologetically, but said nothing. After a while, seeing that it was getting late, they withdrew one after another with various reasons.

"They are really cute children." The fourth lady smiled and looked at the backs of Su Zhongming and others going out of the door, and said to herself, then turned around and said to Shi Luoqiu: "Girl's first visit, I have already prepared the wing room , it’s very suitable for girls to live in! Come on, let me take a look now.”

Facing the kindness, Shi Luoqiu couldn't help but nodded, and led his entourage away with the fourth lady.In the spacious flower hall, for a while, only the family members were left sitting alone, sighed, stood up, and walked out last.

In the middle of the night, it snowed lightly, and the wind and snow ravaged Yangui Island. Su Zhongming suddenly woke up from the dream due to the chills brought by him. He looked at A Lin Tianduo beside him, and found that the quilt had already retreated to her bed. She spoke fiercely, but she still slept soundly, without even noticing that the quilt had fallen off.

Su Zhongming looked at her cute sleeping appearance, and thought that being a child is really happy.Because he was worried that she would catch cold, he covered her with the quilt up to the tip of his chin, lay down again, covered the quilt, and closed his eyes as before. The moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a popping sound from the window. There was a sound, and then a black figure was vaguely seen slowly approaching the bed.

He wanted to question the visitor aloud, but changed his mind, worried that he would scare the visitor away, so he decided to pretend to be asleep and try to catch the visitor and ask him clearly.

The curtain was lifted, and the masked man appeared again. Su Zhongming glanced at it secretly, and continued to pretend to be asleep, waiting for his plot, but unexpectedly, the masked man just lay on the edge of the bed slowly, and then slowly fell asleep. Sit down slowly, raise your left hand, and caress his cheek gently and gently.

Su Zhongming was secretly taken aback, he hated others, especially strangers, messing around with him the most in his life, and was about to make a move, when he heard the masked man muttering, he couldn't help but secretly froze.

"In that war in Jialing Kingdom, you suffered a lot. After you came back triumphantly, I thought you were safe and sound. I didn't expect that the enemy would secretly attack you like this! How long can you live? I won't let you Death, if you die, what's the point of me surviving." The masked man withdrew his hands, paused, and said, "During the day, you said that the owner of Xuanxiu Valley can cure the strange poison on his body, Xuanxiu Valley I can't break the rules, but you wait for me, wait until I invite the owner of the valley, no matter what, I want you to live in peace, no matter what, I won't allow you to die..."

He got up and lifted the curtain again, as if he was about to leave.Su Zhongming slowly raised his upper body, stared at him blankly, opened his lips, and said in disbelief: "Li...xuan...?" When the masked man heard this, he was shocked, didn't look back, but ran away quickly, from The open window jumped out.

"Li Xuan!" Su Zhongming jumped out of the bed, shouted the masked man's name, quickly put on his shoes and fur robe, opened the door, and chased after him, shouting, "Li Xuan! Stop! "Running outside, braved the light snow, followed all the way, but was confused by the snowflakes, and in an instant, the masked man seemed to disappear out of thin air, without a trace.

"Li Xuan! Since you came back alive, why don't you come out to recognize each other? You come out! You have the courage to survive, why don't you have the courage to face me!" Su Zhongming stood in the snow, standing in a place in the wintersweet forest, looking around Shouting, but after a while, there was still no answer, so he had to follow his intuition to find the masked man.

He searched many places, and came to the cloth dyeing workshop of Murong's family, only there was a place to hide, so he opened the door without hesitation, and walked in.It was very dark in there, and he could barely see his fingers. He strode in and shouted into the darkness, "Don't play hide-and-seek with me. If you are a big man, you have the guts to stand up, Li!"

After the voice fell, he looked around for a while, but didn't get any response. He immediately decided to use his mace, took out the jade ring, pinched it on his fingertips, and uttered a slight threat to the darkness, "I'll count to three, and I won't come out again!" , I will crush your ring." Zhang Luo, he looked around again, but still did not get any response.

"Okay...okay..." He put away the jade ring, decided to plug the last bet, and shouted, "If you don't want to come out, then we will meet again on Huangquan Road!" He drew out the Autumn Snow Sword and placed it across his neck, pretending to wipe his neck with a sharp blade, but just like that, a figure flashed out quickly and snatched the sharp blade from his hand.

"Li Xuan..." Su Zhongming immediately stretched out his hand to grab the masked man, but unexpectedly the masked man retreated three meters away, turned sideways, and stopped Su Zhongming, "Don't come here! Don't come here!" Come close to me!" Su Zhongming was stunned, and what surprised him even more was the words added by the man, "Li Xuan... is no longer in this world."

Su Zhongming was stunned, and blurted out: "What do you mean, I don't understand, what do you mean?" The masked man remained silent, and Su Zhongming had a bad daydream, "Something must have happened, right! Otherwise, why wouldn't you Are you willing to come to see me aboveboard? Do you want to avoid me like this?"

The man seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and shouted, "How many times do you want me to tell you? The person you knew is dead!" Su Zhongming opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word. The man continued, "A person who is already 'dead'... how dare you want him, you will only despise him as a burden..."

Without answering him directly, Su Zhongming took out the pair of jade rings and said, "I give you a choice, and there is only one chance, do you want me to throw the pair of rings into the big dyeing vat next to me, or wear them like before?" ?”

The former means a couple falling apart, while the latter means a happy reunion. With such a simple meaning, how could Ding Xuehou not understand it. Hearing this, he secretly panicked, "You...don't force me."

Su Zhongming said seriously: "You are forcing me! I just want to tell you that no matter which one you choose, I will definitely not be the one who regrets it! If you really refuse to recognize me, I will have nothing to lose, and I will even thank you. Thank you for giving me a chance to marry a wife and have children! You should know how many women accompanied me on this journey, I can marry them all, and I will have a group of children in the future, and I will be very happy!"

Dingxuehou secretly tightened his grip on both sides, he didn't want him to do this in his heart, but he didn't dare to open his mouth. After a long time, when Su Zhongming acquiesced that he chose the former and made a gesture to throw out the pair of jade rings, he finally opened his mouth and said, "If I Returning to you, you will regret it! You will even despise me and be disappointed in me!"
