I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

In the middle of the night, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, just like Pei Xiang's mood.

She checked the body of the one-year-old Ouyang Ke again, and gave him a meeting gift.

"Here is a bottle of warming and nourishing pills. Take one-third of the pills and quantify them each time, pour them into the bathtub for bathing and wiping your children, mix with warm water, and massage them with internal force. It is good for your children's growth." .”

Bai Liu happily took the medicine bottle, and ordered the nurse beside him to put it away carefully.

"Thank you, Young Master Bai, for donating the medicine. When the Second Young Master returns, the subordinates will definitely bring your instructions."

Pei Xiang smiled and waved his hands, poked Ouyang Ke's fat face again, and then left the child's room.

Bai Liu watched Pei Xiang walk into the empty room that Ouyang Zheng let out with his own eyes, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to report the situation to his master.

After Ouyang Zheng heard that Pei Xiang had given a meeting gift, he warmly instructed Bai Liudao:

"Take out the gold-thread-faced folding fan I kept in my collection before, and give it to Young Master Bai as a return gift."

"Folding fan with gold thread surface? Is it the iron-wood-wrapped fine-steel fan you specially ordered Bai Shi to buy last month?"

"Well," Ouyang Zheng nodded while changing his pajamas, "She was generous. That bottle of Wenyang Pill required a variety of medicinal materials, and it was impossible to make a pair easily, but now all of them were given to Ke'er, Ouyang's family You can't be rude."

Bai Liu hesitated, and asked in a low voice:

"Then why do you want to send a fan in return?"

Ouyang Zheng glanced at Bai Liu strangely:

"Miss Pei wants to walk around the rivers and lakes in men's clothing, and often holds a folding fan as a weapon in her hand. It is better to be cautious. How can ordinary paper folding fans prevent other people's sharp weapons?"

"So that's how it is," Bai Liu suddenly realized, "It's still the eldest son who is thoughtful, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"Well, there is a saying in my hometown that husbands and wives give gifts to each other, and it is best not to give fans. Because 'fan' and 'san' have the same pronunciation, some people are taboo about this."

"Your hometown...isn't White Camel Mountain?" Ouyang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Bai Liu scratched his cheek and said with a sneer:

"This, haha, my subordinate remembered wrongly. Before I went to the south for the eldest son to do errands, I met a little girl who loved to cry. She and my subordinates talked about these folk customs. However, this subordinate is licking blood People in the Jianghu, gathering and parting are common things, and they don't pay much attention to this in their hearts."

Ouyang Zheng put on his pajamas and sat on the side of the bed, thought for a while, and said:

"Then when you give gifts tomorrow morning, ask Miss Pei for two taels of silver, and tell her that we sold it to her cheaply."

Bai Liu: "...My lord, just the tough and thin layer of fine steel on the fan bone can be exchanged for gold. Also, don't we want to give back gifts? I haven't heard that silver is also required when giving gifts. "

After lying down, Ouyang Zheng covered the quilt with a light tone:

"Bai Liu, you talk too much tonight, go out now."

Therefore, the talkative Bai Liu had no choice but to back down.When he was on duty at night, he kept thinking in his heart, how could he present the fan decently on behalf of Mr. White Camel Mountain tomorrow, no, he would sell it...

The next day, Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi did not rush to Mount Shaoshi, but made a slight detour, and went to visit an heir of an old imperial chef, just to eat the special dish handed down by his family.

When the two had finished their meal and set off again, Huang Yaoshi glanced at the dark golden iron-wood folding fan in Pei Xiang's hand, and asked with a smile:

"This is what you bought for two taels of silver this morning? Although I, Huang Yaoshi, don't care much about yellow and white things, I don't want to miss out on similar cheap things. I wonder if Mr. Ouyang has any extra fans? I am willing too." Buy one."

Pei Xiang opened the folding fan and took a closer look, then shook it slowly, ignoring his friend's teasing.

Huang Yaoshi shook his head and laughed, clamped his legs, and steered the steed to the front. Pei Xiang was not in a hurry, she controlled the reins and followed Huang Yaoshi not too far or too close, and the two of them headed towards Shaoshi Mountain one by one. and go.

After walking through a section of the mountain road, there were suddenly scattered sounds of weapons clashing ahead.

Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi looked at each other, knowing that there must be a fight ahead.The two still kept their original speed and hurried on the road. After a while, they could clearly see the two sides fighting on the wild mountain road.

Pei Xiang took a closer look and said in his heart that it was a coincidence. It turned out that one of them was the Baituoshan group who parted in the morning.

At this time, they were resisting a group of masked men in black.The man in black attacked fiercely and swiftly without fear of life or death, he just rushed towards the carriage blindly.Under such a fearless attack, several white-clothed guards were already injured, while the rest of them firmly protected the two carriages, preventing any man in black from approaching.

Pei Xiang watched from the sidelines for a while, then galloped away on horseback.When she rushed to the vicinity of the fighting site, she knocked down three masked people outside with a single move and a wave of her fan.The horse neighed, and the dust rolled up. Pei Xiang turned around and fought back. He stayed on the horse's back and seriously injured another attacker who was wielding a knife in an instant.

The appearance of Pei Xiang greatly relieved the pressure on the guards of Baituo Mountain to deal with the enemy. They cooperated with Pei Xiangli and quickly gained the upper hand.

Seeing that the White Camel Mountain side began to do a job with ease, Pei Xiang stopped intervening.She just patrolled the periphery on horseback, not letting any man in black escape.Anyone who wanted to retreat was forced back to the center of the fight by Pei Xiang with his supernatural powers, and asked them to continue to serve as training partners for the White Camel Mountain guards.

Of course, once any of the White Camel Mountain guards were about to suffer fatal injuries, Pei Xiang would help them from afar to prevent them from being really damaged in the battle.

In this way, White Camel Mountain will become more and more fierce.

Bai Liu was well aware of Pei Xiang's ability, so he took the opportunity to use some desperate moves that he didn't use often, and practiced on the man in black to his heart's content.He knew in his heart that as long as the eldest lady was taking care of him, his reckless dismissal would actually have no future problems.

Pei Xiang didn't care about Bai Liu's small thoughts, but encouraged him a little.If it wasn't for giving the White Camel Mountain guards a rare chance to actually fight, why would she bother to arrest them directly, so much less effort.

The battle was in full swing, and the car door opened silently.

Ouyang Zheng watched the battle outside the car quietly, his eyes would occasionally linger on Pei Xiang, watching her train the guards of Baituo Mountain, time seemed to go back in time.

At that time, when they traveled all over the Western Regions, they would encounter various dangers and assassinations.Pei Xiang can easily subdue the enemy with poison, but she rarely uses such a trump card. Instead, she tries to use real conflicts to strengthen the training of the guards around her, and gradually consolidates the true strength of Baituoshan.

Pei Xiang once again forced a black-clothed masked man back into the fighting circle with his snap of the fingers, and felt that Huang Yaoshi's fingering technique was really flexible and convenient.Immediately afterwards, she intimidated a few more people, and the expression on her face became more and more reckless.

However, when she turned around by chance, she happened to meet a pair of dark and quiet eyes.

The excited expression immediately restrained three points, she clasped her fists on the horse's back, and said as gracefully as possible:

"My lord, hello."

Ouyang Zheng nodded slightly: "I'm bothering you again. These boys haven't experienced this kind of training for a long time. In the past two years, they have exchanged injuries for more than one injury. I hope I haven't disappointed you."

Pei Xiang took a hard look at the expression on Ouyang Zheng's face, always feeling that this man wanted to make her feel more guilty.

"Why do you take this road?" Pei Xiang looked around and asked in doubt, "I deviated from the main road because I had to take a detour."

Ouyang Zheng completely rolled up the bamboo curtain in front of the car door, and said softly through the fighting people on both sides:

"Recently some important news related to the Songshan Conference has been leaked. I don't want to appear in front of people again before the Songshan Conference, so I chose this remote route. I didn't expect to be ambushed."

"That's it," Pei Xiang heard Ouyang Zheng's explanation, didn't say whether he believed it or not, and didn't ask deeply, but just analyzed according to Ouyang Zheng's words, "Since it involves the Songshan Conference, it must be very important, no wonder it will attract attention. There are so many people ambushing. If this is the case, the guards around you are not enough, and there is also a lack of real masters. Where is the second son? When will he return?"

Ouyang Zheng sighed:

"Second brother still has some trivial matters to finish, and he won't be back in a while. But you don't have to worry too much. Although I don't have the masters like second brother here, there is no shortage of guards and snakes and poisonous insects. If I don't meet you today , I am about to summon a group of snakes, these men in black are by no means opponents of White Camel Mountain."

This explanation reached Pei Xiang's ears, which made her a little uneasy.She glanced at Ouyang Zheng's handsome appearance sitting in the car, then lowered her head to look at the precious fan in her hand, and asked following her heart:

"You gave me a room yesterday, and I will protect you today too. Before the second son returns, I will hold the line for you."

"Are you willing to protect me?"

"I have made some progress in the past two years, and I am confident that I will not lose to the younger generation of masters."

Ouyang Zheng smiled leisurely, nodded in agreement, and said at the same time: "Thank you, Young Master Bai, for your help, I will remember it in my heart."

"It's just reciprocity, the eldest son should not be so polite."

Ouyang Zheng said: "Going forward, it is a new house I bought. It is remote and rarely populated. It is a relatively private and quiet place. Before the Songshan Conference, I plan to stay in that house Here, so as not to be harassed and inquired by friends from the rivers and lakes who have heard the news. If Bai Shaoxia and Huang Island Master don't dislike it, come and stay with me for a few days."

Pei Xiang turned back to seek Huang Yaoshi's opinion.

Huang Yaoshi always likes to be quiet.These days, when he was on his way out, the inn he temporarily stayed in was always full of noisy sounds, which made him quite annoyed.Hearing Ouyang Zheng's invitation at this time, he thought that the other courtyard of Ouyang's family was of course quieter and more comfortable than the full-occupied inn near Shaoshi Mountain.So, without much hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

At this time, the guards of White Camel Mountain had subdued all the black-clothed masked men, and everyone tidied up the battlefield a little before moving on.

After walking for another half a day, the convoy turned around at the intersection of a hidden path, and then continued on. It took about a quarter of an hour before they arrived at Ouyang Zheng's villa.

It is really quiet here, the windows of the houses are bright and clear, the north and south are transparent, there are all kinds of pavilions, terraces and pavilions, there are also special martial arts training venues and chic and elegant gardens, with gurgling water and the fragrance of birds and flowers.

Most importantly, both Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi have their own yards.Although the east and the west are far apart, to martial arts practitioners, the distance of a house is not a distance at all.

On the first night of the stay, Ouyang Zheng hosted a banquet in honor of Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi.

Ouyang Zheng can also be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among the people. Although he is behind in martial arts due to physical reasons, he can be called the best in other aspects.Therefore, Huang Yaoshi was quite willing to talk to Ouyang Zheng.

At this time, Pei Xiang had already removed the disguise of "Bai Xiao" and restored her daughter's makeup.The three of them chatted happily, talking about the past and the present, and the conversation became lively, and they were not very restrained in drinking, and when the banquet was over, everyone was in a state of being slightly drunk.

After the banquet, the three of them went back to their residences.

Pei Xiang blew the night breeze for a while, and felt that he was awake, so he didn't rush to rest, but took advantage of the night breeze to dance a set of sword skills.After she felt a little sweat on her body, she took a bath and changed her clothes, and after a lot of tossing, it was already the dead of night.

She was about to fall asleep when she heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Bai Liu? What's the matter?"

"Eldest son's traditional Chinese medicine, please help suppress the medicine's properties, Miss Pei."

Pei Xiang casually pulled off the cloak on the screen and wrapped it around his body, without caring about arranging his hair and appearance, he pushed the door straight out:

"What medicine? Is it important?"

Bai Liu quickly replied: "It's a secret medicine of the Western Xia royal family...Master has already taken two kinds of snake venom to suppress the medicinal properties, but the effect is not satisfactory. Please ask Miss Pei to take a look."

Pei Xiang frowned slightly when he heard that Ouyang Zheng used the method of fighting poison with poison to suppress the nature of medicine.She knew in her heart that with Ouyang Zheng's love for his body, he would not rashly adopt such a method unless it was absolutely necessary.

"What is the Western Xia royal family drugged?"

"It is said that a certain concubine surnamed Li brought it into the Xixia royal family a few generations ago. It is... used to add to the fascination. It is colorless and tasteless, and it is not easy to understand."

"How did he get this medicine? It's still on his own territory."

"It's the negligence of the subordinates. I didn't expect that some of the maidservants would have such clinging thoughts."

The two of them walked into Ouyang Zheng's residence while they were talking.

Pei Xiang looked up and saw a woman in red with a graceful back and a slender figure lying on the ground, trembling slightly:

"Young Master, please forgive me! I was just being confused for a moment, I was just wishful thinking, I, I have been secretly admiring the Young Master, and I hope that the Young Master will live a long life, and I don't mean to offend you. This time, this time, The person who gave the slave the secret medicine said that this secret medicine is not harmful to the body, as long as the eldest son, the eldest son does not resist the medicine's properties, after it is done... the posture of the slave girl Pu Liu, I wish, I wish..."

Speaking of this, the woman's voice was already low and inaudible.

Ouyang Zheng sat at the head with a blank expression all the time, until he noticed that Pei Xiang was approaching, he eased his expression a little.

"Bai Liu," Ouyang Zheng said, his voice became very hoarse, "Take him down and investigate!"

"Bai Liu obeys."

Bai Liu walked to the side of the woman in red and directly tapped the acupuncture points, immediately preventing the woman from speaking and resisting.Afterwards, he quickly took people away, leaving the room to Pei Xiang and Ouyang Zheng.

Ouyang Zheng was dressed very neatly at this time, he didn't look like a person going to bed at all, and his sitting posture was upright and upright, just like when he was handling things in the study on weekdays.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that he has been forbearing.There was some sweat on the forehead, and the cold jade-like complexion showed a very light rouge crimson under the candlelight, and the color of the eyes became darker and deeper, and occasionally the rhythm of breathing was disturbed.

Pei Xiang approached, carrying the fragrance of her daughter after bathing.

Ouyang Zheng's breathing became irregular again, he closed his eyes and avoided looking at Pei Xiang.

"Hand out."

Ouyang Zheng raised his wrist and placed it on the table.

The cool fingers gently touched his arm, and the touch made him a little dazed.

It seems like a long time, and it seems very short.Just when Ouyang Zheng felt that certain tortures would never end, the cool and slender fingers left his arm, and a pleasant and clear voice rang in his ears.

"Ouyang Zheng, this secret medicine is really powerful. If you don't unlock it, it will be transformed into a poison within six hours, and even the gods will not be able to save you."

"I just took two kinds of snake venom, is it effective?"

"The snake venom can only temporarily suppress the properties of the secret medicine, so that you can stay awake and not be controlled by desires and desires, but it only treats the surface but not the inside, and it will lose its effect soon."

"Can you help me detoxify the secret medicine?"

"Yes," Pei Xiang's firm tone contained a kind of soothing power, "Now there are two ways to undo the drug's properties. One is, as the woman said just now, you have sex with others, and this secret medicine The toxicity is naturally lifted."

"What about the second?"

"The second one... I remember that Ouyang's family has a kind of detoxification pill made from the blood of exotic animals in the Western Regions. You can take seven detoxification pills in a row, and then cooperate with my acupuncture to undo this kind of poison."

"Is that kind of detoxification pill?" Ouyang Zheng's voice was hoarse, showing a touch of fatigue, "Ordinary people will feel severe pain all over their bodies after taking one pill, and they want to bite off their tongue. If I take seven pills in a row, I can't guarantee that I can endure it. "

Pei Xiangwen said: "You can choose the first method. There are many maids in Ouyang's family who are willing to be your women."

Ouyang Zheng smiled helplessly, and slowly asked:

"If I choose the second option, can your golden needle help me suppress the pain?"

Pei Xiang hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly:

"In order not to delay detoxification, the degree of pain suppression must be weaker. Well, it will occasionally fail. It all depends on your perseverance and patience."

"Then will you hurt me to death?"

"No," Pei Xiang said firmly, "If you choose the second option, I will always watch over you to detoxify, and will not let you do stupid things because of the severe pain. However, you do have to go through a bone marrow torture."

"Since I can't die, I'll choose the second option, Xiang'er, and I'll leave it to you later."

Pei Xiang lowered his eyes and persuaded softly:

"I suggest you choose the first one, which can easily detoxify and have some benefits for your body."

Ouyang Zheng refused without thinking:

"I won't choose the first option, Xiang'er. Since I haven't reached a dead end, I don't need to lose someone more important because of temporary comfort. I choose the second option. You can help me with acupuncture."

Pei Xiang glanced at Ouyang Zheng quietly, then nodded silently.

She got up and walked to the door, and told the guards to bring what she needed.

After that, she said to Ouyang Zheng:

"Eldest son, please take off your coat and wait for me on the couch."
