Crown Sword

Zhou Bihai and Ji Ci carried Fang Jing back to the room, laid them flat on the couch, turned their heads and began to pack up the bundles, while Zhou Qingcen fetched some warm water, soaked the towel and applied cold compresses to her swollen cheeks.No matter what the three of them said, they were also Lianjiazi, they had sense in their hands, and they didn't use much force. After half a stick of incense, Fang Jing woke up leisurely.

It took her a while to sort out what happened just now, she sat up straight, and wanted to stay on the bed.

Qing Cen Xu blocked her hand, Fang Jing's alcohol dissipated, she took a look, and pushed her away: "Don't worry, I can't beat him, I won't do it rashly. I'm thirsty, have a glass of water."

"Senior Sister Fang, let's go back quickly," Qing Cen twisted the towel with his fingers, and said tentatively, "Didn't the Taoist priest ask us to send the letter back to Jiangu?"

Fang Jing thought of such a incident, and rushed to Ji Ci's side to look through the package. Seeing that the letter was complete, she was relieved. Need to rest, just take the letter back together, the three of us will go to Mianzhu to see what's going on."

At this time, footsteps sounded outside, and someone knocked on the door.

Zhou Bihai turned to open the door, but Qingcen couldn't evade it, so he could only stick the letter in his coat to accept it.It was the Jiujiang people who had lunch at lunch, and they talked nonsense in a mixed dialect, probably because they were afraid that they would break their promises, so they came here to confirm.

Fang Jing was hiding in the house, but now she heard the words, strode forward, and said vigorously: "Don't worry, everyone, we will leave on time tomorrow. I will never learn from shameless people, and I will keep my word. I will never go back on what I promised.”

The few people felt relieved, thanked, praised, and even choked and scolded the red-clothed swordsman before turning their heads and leaving.

Qing Cen stood in front of the door, very worried: "But senior sister, your face..."

"Just apply some medicine, but if you can't, find a face towel and a bamboo hat." She said, looking up at Ji Ci, who was in a daze, unable to understand her voice, feeling a little angry in her heart, and couldn't help but vent her anger, " It's all your fault!"

Ji Ci was originally a Baozi character, so he didn't dare to refute her, he just muttered aggrievedly: "Actually, I really can't blame Senior Brother Yue for what happened to Senior Brother Xia Hou, I heard that he didn't report it later..."

"Don't blame him, blame who?" Fang Jing closed the door heavily, her facial muscles twitched, "If it wasn't for him, how could the two of them go back together? If Gong Yangyue doesn't return to Shuzhong, just let him go if he can't find anyone." , since he broke in by himself, I will never let him have a good time." Then, she glanced at the three people beside her, "I won't burden you, I will take care of the troubles I caused. That's it, bastard!"

----

Gong Yangyue is disgusting, and deliberately wrote the guest room next to Fang Jing. Cui Tanfeng was worried that there would be no peace tonight, so she made a trick and swapped hers with his.Qiao Min has been in the Central Plains for almost a year, and he wrote a letter and went to the city to find a way to deliver it, while Shuang Li went to inquire about Ghost Sword and missed dinner when he came back.

After eating late in the afternoon, Shuang Li still had some accumulated food, so he went to the back kitchen to touch two steamed buns to pad his stomach, then turned to look for Gongyangyue House, when he passed by the oleander flower corridor, he saw Cui Tanfeng and the girl from a distance. When the girl named Qing Cen spoke, she wanted to see no evil, but she turned too far, and almost pulled down the whole shelf hanging pickles beside her, so she could only go over and take a corner.

"You didn't fight again after that, did you?" Shuang Li didn't know how to intervene, so she touched her nose and spoke indiscriminately.

Qing Cen chuckled, shook his head, and pulled Shuang Li to look left and right: "Does your forehead still hurt? I still have some preserved fruits and pine nuts here, you take it as an apology."

Of course, Shuang Li is not so easy to be bribed, squinting his eyes and smiling wickedly: "That's not necessary, if you want to, why don't you tell me, what is the difference between Lao Yue and your senior sister?"

Qing Cen looked soft and pitiful, but his tone was strict, and he refused to say anything.

Shuangli was bored, shrugged at Cui Tanfeng, turned and walked away.

At this moment, Qing Cen took two steps forward and asked, "You ask, and Dr. Cui also asks, is this really so important to you?"

"Of course it's important. If Jiangu has something wrong with him, I'll leave the word here. You old men and women, tell them to be careful. I can't fight, but my aunt, as Wen Daweng's student, will definitely put them Everyone in the world knows about his secrets!" Shuang Li gave a thumbs up, tipped her nose, and said triumphantly.

This childish ruthlessness made Cui Tanfeng helplessly laugh.

Qingcen couldn't laugh, she grew up in Sword Valley since she was a child, when Gongyangyue betrayed her teacher, although she was still young, her mind was already open, although she was not of the same line, she also talked a lot of gossip, even if she was not as good as Fang Jing is so extreme, but it is not kind.Hearing this, she couldn't help lowering her head, rubbed against the toes of the two shoes, and murmured: "Why? Isn't he... the devil? Wouldn't it be disreputable to hang out with him, is it... worth it?"

"Why isn't it worth it?" Shuang Li wondered, as if he had never thought about this question before, "I remember Brother Chao told a story a while ago, but it coincided with what I wanted to say. It was said that there was a man who used Suihou's pearl to go Hitting the birds in the sky, people in the world laughed at him, because the jewels are precious and the birds and beasts are cheap, and the big gain is not worth the loss (Note), but Brother Chao said that life has its own price, and grass and trees are ruthless. As a living being, how can the orb be compared to life? After all, people only see one side."

Qing Cen opened his mouth slightly, moved by this, and turned to look at Cui Tanfeng: "What about you, Doctor Cui?"

Cui Tanfeng smiled slightly, brushed her fingers over the flowers and trees beside the wooden corridor, but said different things: "Although oleander is poisonous, it doesn't prevent people from liking it."

After hearing this, Qing Cen's expression was a little stiff, just as Fang Jing was calling someone in the room, she cupped her fists and left before she left, sighing: "Now I understand why Senior Brother Xiahou made that choice back then, maybe you are all right Yes, Miss Shuangli, I will be leaving tomorrow, and I don’t know when we will meet again, please apologize to Senior Brother Yue for me."

Shuang Li scolded: "Then why don't you go by yourself now?"

Qing Cen shook his head: "Because I'm not as courageous as you guys."

After the people left, Shuang Li shared the bag of dried fruits and pine nuts with Cui Tanfeng, and said with a smile: "Old Fenghuang, I never thought you and I are heroes and see the same thing."

Cui Tanfeng raised her eyes to look at the flowers: "I'm extremely envious."

"What are you envious of? Are you envious of someone as determined as me to help you speak?" Shuang Li bumped his shoulder, and said proudly, "Grandma is covering you, and you all have a lot. Besides, don't you still Is there a hero Nie?"

Thinking of Nie Guangming who passed away, Cui Tanfeng's eyes were filled with pain, full of sadness, Shuang Li knew that he had slipped his words, and hurriedly slapped himself: "Bah, I was talking nonsense, I'm sorry."

Cui Tanfeng rubbed her hair: "Unfortunately, I am not Gongyangyue, and Minglang is not you."

Shuang Li was confused, and hurriedly asked, "Are you praising me or belittling me?"

Cui Tanfeng didn't continue, but asked another topic: "I haven't seen you all afternoon, where have you been?"

Shuang Li never thought deeply, so when he asked this question, he briefly talked about the ghost sword. Besides, he kept an eye out for clues about the Jade Bone Ice Soul Fight.She felt that she was thorough in handling things and was more caring than Lao Yue, so she was very proud, and felt that she should be praised, and she never stopped talking, and when she talked, her mind flew to other places, thinking that it was too early, and there was no delay. hold up.

"I just watched Brother Chao hurrying past outside with a wooden basin in his arms. Isn't he reading at this hour? Have you finished reading the pamphlets sent by Patriarch Meng?" Shuang Li was very puzzled.

Cui Tanfeng glanced in the direction of the back kitchen: "Gong Yangyue is working hard, he doesn't want to rest tonight."

"What's wrong?" Shuang Li patted his head, "That's right, I lost the bet."

Cui Tanfeng recounted what he had seen: "After the sun set, Gongyangyue's mind changed every moment. First he wanted to drink the fine spring water at the foot of Yulei Mountain, and later he wanted to eat steamed rice cakes. Just now he sent someone to wash his clothes. Maybe later in the day, if you don’t appreciate the moon, you should watch Epiphyllum.”

so miserable?

Shuang Li said with a sad expression, "I'll go rescue him." After speaking, he turned his head and went to Gongyangyue's house.

Cui Tanfeng called to her: "Hey, I forgot to say—"

"Next time!" Shuang Li walked hurriedly, waving her hands.

"I want to say that Xiao Er boiled water just now, but now most people are taking a bath."

----

Chao Chen filled the bathtub with hot water and went out with the basin in one hand, but was caught by Gong Yangyue.

Even though the doors and windows were closed, the weather was freezing cold in the first month of the lunar year, and soon the heat turned into water mist, enveloping the two of them in a blur.Chao Chen couldn't make out the expression on his face, so he said stiffly, "I don't know how to take a bath."

"Why are you blushing? I won't force others to do anything difficult." Gong Yangyue said without hesitation, while undressing, and then pointed to the window, "Go over there and watch, I want you to be there on call .”

Chao Chen's gaze stayed on his back, and he could vaguely see the scars that had scabbed over the years.

Since leaving Jinyang, there are not many passer-by knights who are simply looking for trouble. Occasionally, those who recognize Gongyangyue are only quick-talking, human instincts, and there are still a few who are not afraid of death.After all, when it comes to heads-up, there are only two people in the world who can seriously injure him, so Chao Chen has the illusion that he doesn't feel oppressed by being chased at all.

But not now, does not mean that the past was so peaceful.

Liwei in the Jianghu has always been simple and rude. He has fought countless people and walked an endless road before he has what he is today.

He was so engrossed in thinking that he strayed off the road and knocked down the screen behind the shelf. Chao Chen frantically tried to help him, and when Gong Yangyue glanced over, he stood up straight again, with his sleeves rolled up, his hands behind his back, Pretending to look like nothing happened, he knelt down dignifiedly.

On the surface, it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but in his heart, there were huge waves of the sea, and he was full of doubts, so he couldn't figure it out——

When he broke his sword, he also tacitly agreed that he would listen to orders before recasting the broken sword. Gong Yangyue did occasionally tease his envoys, but he was doing more business, not so frequently. Tonight's outbreaks were concentrated, although it was because of a bet during the day. But there is always a feeling that he is anxious to use it once, and there will be no chance in the future.

why?

Chao Chen glanced quietly.

Gong Yangyue seemed to be aware of it, leaning back with both hands on the edge of the bucket, tilting her head slightly, but not turning around, with a faint warm smile at the corner of her mouth.

Chao Chen withdrew his gaze, turned his head to the flower window, propped his chin with his right hand, and blocked all sight.After staring at one place for a long time, feeling tired, I couldn't help falling asleep.

After holding on for a while, unable to resist the drowsiness, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Gong Yangyue's wet hair was not wiped, she only put on a single shirt, walked over barefoot, moved the small incense burner from the table, and sat down on the other side of the table.

Chao Chen's face was as flawless as jade.

Get closer, look, get closer, and look again.

"Old Moon!"

Shuang Li opened the window to scare him, but just as she opened her mouth, her cheeks were pinched, and she received a severe blow on the forehead.Gong Yang Yue was dissatisfied and made a silent gesture.

Seeing Chao Chen sleeping soundly beside her, she crept in and closed the window.It's just that when it landed, the sock slipped and slipped down, just kicking over the incense burner.

Shuangli hugged her feet, tried her best to inhale her nose, and said suspiciously: "This incense...isn't it the sleeping incense I asked for from Old Fenghuang last time? I disappeared after I used it up, so I gave it to you," she said deeply. Taking a breath, his eyes widened, "Oh! Are you planning to do something bad? What are you going to do to Brother Chao?"

Gong Yangyue poked her forehead: "What are you thinking?"

Shuang Li pointed at the person and mouth-shaped: "Then why did you let him fall asleep?"

Gongyangyue raised her hand, then lowered it again, without saying a word, and after a long time, she grabbed Shuangli's skirt and said nonsense unwillingly: "When I was in Zhuhai a few days ago, I found that Chao Chen occasionally talked in his sleep, talking about drinking. After telling the truth, maybe in the dream, I... I just want to hear what he said?"

"It's fun! Don't call me!" Shuang Li sat down cross-legged, holding her head.

The two of them held their breaths and waited left and right. When they were tired of waiting, Chao Chen finally made a movement.Gong Yangyue kicked Shuangli away, occupying the whole good position by herself, leaning on the table and leaning on it.

Only Chao Chen muttered——

"Ram Moon, you fucking bastard!"
