Bright moon out of Tianshan

This was said to Xiao Jian.

The strong wind from Xiao Xiong's wooden knife tore the clothes on Gao Huai's shoulders with a three-inch cut.But he didn't think it was a pestle, he clasped his fists and said: "Lord Master Xiao has great skills, I am willing to bow down to you, I admire you."

Xiao Xiong said: "Acceptance." Looking back at Xiao Jian, he said: "Have you seen it clearly?"

Xiao Jian looked at Gao Huai in a daze, but he couldn't tell what he felt. He admired his martial arts, and remembered that the tragedy from his family was inseparably related to his Gao family, but he also felt a little resentful. Listening to Xiao Xiong's questioning , sighed: "See it clearly. I also know that I am useless, it is useless to look at it, and I am still not his opponent."

Gao Huai frowned slightly, he had already seen Xiao Jian, but he had something important to do, but he didn't bother to greet him. Seeing that Xiao Xiong had walked up to Fang Qianxi, he stretched out a paw, and said: "Chairman." Gao Huai's heart moved, he became nervous, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Xiong's every move, and he forgot Xiao Jian for the time being.

Fang Qianxi smiled, and handed the three black jade arrows into his hand.

Xiao Xiong stretched out his hand to catch it, turned back and said: "Third Highness, I have seen your martial arts before, and I, Xiao Xiong, have lived a few years longer, taking advantage of killing many people, but I admire Your Highness very much in my heart. If you can drink three bowls of wine with me, I, Xiao Xiong, will hand over the three black jade arrows to you, how about it?"

Gao Huai was in a dilemma, he really couldn't drink, he was hesitant, Xiao Xiong saw it, smiled and said: "It's up to Your Highness whether to drink or not, but I, Xiao Xiong, like to associate with people who can drink. This is a personal point Bad habits, life and death can not be changed, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Gao Huai gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xiao's kindness is hard to shake, Gao Huai will definitely risk his life to accompany him."

Xiao Xiong smiled and said, "Okay, pour the wine!" He Mian immediately poured six bowls of wine, and Shen Huanhuan brought them over on a tray. The scorching heat rose slowly from the abdomen, it was extremely uncomfortable, but he could only bear it, and praised: "Master Xiao is good at drinking, but I really can't do it."

Xiao Xiong laughed, and said: "That's enough! Reach out!" Gao Huai stretched out his hand according to his words, and Xiao Xiong solemnly placed the black jade arrow in his palm, saying: "Put it away, it's a big deal to lose one. sorry!"

Gao Huai grasped the three command arrows, and he was overjoyed in his heart. He only felt that the martial arts competition was good, and the wine was worth drinking.Xiao Xiong said loudly: "This martial arts competition is over, everyone must have had enough of the excitement, everyone, let's drink to our hearts content now!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively, Hou Tianxiang dragged Taoyao to reminisce with Fang Qianxi.Gao Huai looked at it with a smile, suddenly remembered Xiao Jian, looked around, but the boy had disappeared, he asked in surprise: "Master Xiao, where is your younger brother Xiao Jian?"

Xiao Xiong looked back, also very surprised, asked Lin Zaichun, "Where's Tiantian?" Lin Zaichun didn't care about anything, and shook his head blankly.Wei Young interjected: "Just now Tiantian asked me to tell the hall master that he is leaving. He went out now, but I didn't stop him."

Xiao Xiong said: "This child, he has nowhere to go at all, hey! What a child!" Turning around to go out to look for it, Gao Huai hurried ahead of him and said: "Hall Master, Xiao Jian probably left because of me. , or let me chase him back, I just happen to have something to discuss with him." Before he could answer, he turned around and rushed out the door.

It was already dark outside, with a bright moon in the sky, and the silent shadow in the Ruyi Lake.Xiao Jian had already reached the end of the curved bridge by the lake, when suddenly the wind blew up behind him, and Gao Huai caught up with him in an instant. He heard the wind, looked back, and sneered, "What are you going to do? I'm penniless now. I can't pay for your jade pendant! Your house is such a big palace, are there any rare treasures? Why are you so stingy!"

Gao Huai said: "You don't need to pay, I have already found someone to set up that jade pendant. Xiao Jian, I have something else to tell you, you go slowly!"

Xiao Jian ignored him, and continued to move forward. Gao Huai rushed to him and blocked his way. Xiao Jian was blocked by him and couldn't go. He said angrily, "What do you want?"

Gao Huai said: "Xiao Jian, I didn't do anything to you this time, if you get up and leave like this, your elder brother Xiao Xiong won't let it go."

Xiao Jian sneered and said, "How can I stay? Don't think I'm a fool! Their chief hall master values ​​you so much. You have accepted their black feather arrows. I guess the five halls will be under your command in the future. Right? Am I blocking your eyes by staying here, waiting for you to make me angry? Get out of the way!"

Gao Huai said: "How about Wudatang and I, that is my own business, don't delay you and hang out with them. Xiao Jian, my father told me that the promise back then cannot be voided, just tell me if you have any wish." I, I will definitely satisfy you." He had a light drinker, drank the three bowls of strong wine, and now he was drunk, swaying and trying to stand still, so he reached out to support a willow tree by the lake, Xiao Jian sneered Said: "Wish? After falling to this point, what kind of wish do I dare to have in the future?"

Gao Huai stared blankly at him for a moment.However, Xiao Jian suddenly recalled the great wish he made when he was young: "I learn martial arts so that one day I will be able to defend the borders of Eastern Qi, wipe out the enemies, and do my best to ensure the peace and prosperity of our land and people in Eastern Qi." I don't know who I told it to, but now I think about it, I am very familiar with it, but the rivers and mountains of Dongqi are the rivers and mountains of the Gao family, even if he wants to protect his family and the country in the future, he doesn't know if he is rare or not.Wouldn't it be a big joke if I told this prince about my grand wish, but let him abandon it like a shoestring?

Let's talk about something else, Xiao Jian smiled, but the smile was very sad: "My wish is to marry a wife and have children, to pass on the incense of my Xiao family, so as to comfort my grandparents in heaven! How about it? This wish is not difficult to fulfill Bar?"

Gao Huai said: "This request is very simple, is there anything else...?"

Xiao Jian said: "Yes! Of course there are! There are so many!" Seeing that he seemed to be unable to stand up, but he didn't want to talk to him any more, so he wanted to run away from him with lightness kung fu, but was pulled away by Gao Huai Clamping his sleeves, Xiao Jian said angrily, "What are you doing? Let go!"

Gao Huai was so drunk that he was extremely uncomfortable, but he insisted on pulling him, saying: "Xiao Jian, don't go, I want to fulfill what my father promised you, I can't break my promise!"

Xiao Jian couldn't get rid of him, turned around to see that he was staggering and couldn't stand, suddenly he felt malicious, and chuckled lightly: "Is Your Highness drunk? Why are you swaying like this?"

Gao Huai pressed his dizzy head with one hand, and said, "Yes, I can't drink..."

Xiao Jian said: "But I know there is a way, the fastest way to hangover, since you won't let me go, but also fulfill my humble wish for me, then I will reciprocate and let you sober up!" Grabbing his waist, he said with a smile, "Your Highness can't even stand, let me help you." Gao Huai's face froze, and he looked at him in surprise, but a blush appeared on his cheeks in the dark night, and said: " Xiao Jian, you... don't touch me..."

Xiao Jian suddenly stretched out his foot to hook, and at the same time pushed hard with his hand, Gao Huai was already drunk, he couldn't stand steadily, and he was caught off guard, with a "plop", he was actually pushed into the Ruyi Lake.

As soon as he entered the cold water, he immediately became sober. Xiao Jian felt relieved, but he saw a few dark shadows hurriedly approaching from the curved bridge in the distance, and they were already approaching him. Seeing that his bad deeds were about to be exposed, he immediately shouted: "Come quickly, the Third Highness accidentally fell into the water! Come and save people!" Then the figures quickly rushed up, but it was Xiao Xiong who saw that the two hadn't returned for a long time, and led others to find them.After several sounds of water, Taoyao and Shen Huanhuan went into the water together and fished Gao Huai out. The three of them were all in a state of distress.

Xiao Xiong ordered Shen Huanhuan to take care of Gao Huai and go to the guest room to change clothes. Gao Huai gave Xiao Jian a cold look, but finally said nothing, and Taoyao helped him away with his body dripping.

Xiao Xiong made his confession, turned around and glanced at Xiao Jian who was standing silently in the shadows, and said, "Tian Tian, ​​if he drowns, how can Jiangnan Five Great Halls gain a foothold in Eastern Qi?"

Xiao remonstrated, "He won't drown."

Xiao Xiong asked in amazement: "How do you know that he can't drown? What if he doesn't know how to swim?" Xiao Jian said solemnly: "An old saying goes: A good swimmer drowns. Since elder brother said he couldn't swim, of course he couldn't drown. "

Xiao Xiong was a little angry at first, but he laughed out loud because of him, and said: "Absurd!" Then he sighed and shook his head: "You little brat, don't wander around, teach brothers to worry for nothing! Let's go, follow me Go back." Reaching out to hold his hand, she forcibly pulled him back.

As a result, in the early morning of the second day, Xiao Jian was in a drowsy sleep, and someone knocked on the door. He had to get dressed and got up. When the door opened, it was Gao Huai's little follower, Taoyao, with a proud and disdainful expression on his face. A box and a knife.Gao Huai stood behind him, his face was pale, and he was wrapped in a thick cloak of light blue moiré Shu brocade, looking weak.

Xiao Jian didn't know what he wanted to do, he hesitated and said nothing, Gao Huai could only say: "Let me in, I have something to say to you."

Xiao Jian stepped aside and watched the two of them enter the room. Tao Yao put the things on the table and went to fetch a chair for Gao Huai to sit down. Xiao Jian stood at the door and watched coldly. Yao rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Our Highness fell into the water after drinking last night, and got a fever, thinking about coming to deliver things to you. What are you still standing there for? Why don't you come?" Gao Huai glared at him. Yao immediately shut up, walked out with a flick of her sleeves, and stood guard outside the door.

Xiao Jian was sure that he didn't intend to take revenge on him, so he sat down across the table and asked, "What is it?"

Gao Huai stretched out his hand and pushed the small box in front of him, saying: "This is a 1 tael banknote. I asked the guards to rush back to Jinling to get it last night. It's no problem to get married. You can take it." .”

Xiao Jian was taken aback for a moment, reached out and opened it, and it turned out to be five silver notes of 2000 taels. He held those silver notes in front of his eyes and looked at them for a while, making sure that he was not dreaming. Surprised, he suddenly smiled Blooming, two big black eyes bent into two bright moons, the whole room lit up in an instant, and murmured: "Oh, money! Silver..." Gao Huai looked at his face, unexpectedly It was unexpected that he was so happy to see the bank note, and asked, "Is that enough?"

Xiao Jian raised his eyes to look at him, he came to his senses, quickly suppressed his smile, and said with a low face: "Not enough! If my grandfather is alive and his family property is not confiscated, I might be able to marry a princess or something. Get married decently. How can 1 taels be enough?"
