[Comprehensive martial arts] Cannon fodder woman

When the rooster crows, everything wakes up, and the sky turns pale, the people in Guo's mansion start to get busy.The stove was lit in the kitchen to cook breakfast; the boys at the stables were feeding the horses; from the main yard of the head of the family to the side yard where the juniors lived, lights were lit in the houses one after another.With the help of their wives, Guo Jing, Yeluqi, Dawu Xiaowu and other men dressed up neatly. After breakfast, they will go out separately to train soldiers, inspect soldiers, and city defense.

Guo Xiang, the second lady of the Guo Mansion, also got up early, for no other reason than to know Yang Guo's movements as soon as possible.Since the last farewell in Huashan, Yang Guo has been completely silent and completely lost track.The point is that mom and dad are not worried at all, they just say "have a good time", but if she doesn't see her big brother for a day, she won't think about eating and drinking, and will have trouble sleeping and eating.

I went to the concierge to inquire. From last night to now, "Condor Hero" still hasn't come back. Guo Xiang made a small face and walked back sullenly.On the small road leading to the guest garden, she saw a maid passing by with a tray, and then she remembered something: Although her eldest brother left, the strange woman who suddenly appeared that day returned to Xiangyang with them, and seemed to be still alive. He looks very familiar with his parents and sister.

She didn't know the identity of the other party, and she didn't know what the big brother said to her that day, but she thought that the disappearance of the big brother must be inseparable from this woman, maybe the other party knew the whereabouts of the big brother.

Thinking of this, Guo Xiang immediately couldn't sit still, and hurriedly followed the maid who delivered the meals to the deserted guest house.

It's just that planning is easy but action is difficult. She thought of the glimpse she had had on Mount Hua that day, and she suddenly felt unconfident.Growing up so big, among all the beauties she has seen, the most beautiful is naturally her own sister, followed by her mother. Compared with them, her appearance can only be considered beautiful.Besides, Sister-in-law Yelu, Sister-in-law Wanyan, and Cheng Lu also have their own characteristics. They are rare and handsome beauties, but they are still three points inferior to their elder sisters.But the woman surnamed Lu was extremely beautiful, comparable to her elder sister.If my elder sister is a glowing peach blossom, as bright and gorgeous as the morning dew, then she is the bright and bright moon, as gentle and desolate as the snow in the Tianshan Mountains.

What is the relationship between her and big brother? Why does big brother show that expression when he sees her?Guo Xiang's thoughts were in a ball, and there was an indescribable sadness in her heart.She lingered outside the yard for a long time, and she still couldn't muster up her courage until the maids had left.Just when she was wondering whether to ask her sister to help cheer, she suddenly heard a "squeak", a plain white hand raised the curtain, and the people in the room waved to her standing under the tree, with a gentle voice and a caring voice. With a smile:

"Is it Xiang'er? Come in and have a seat."

Lu Xiaoman poured her a cup of tea, and seeing that she still hadn't recovered from her dazed face, she couldn't help but smile and said:

"Are you here to see me? Why have you been standing outside the door?"

"I..." Guo Xiang hesitated for a while, then whispered, "I just want to ask you if you know where your big brother is. He hasn't heard from him for a few days, so I'm a little worried."

"Big brother...you mean Yang Guo?" Lu Xiaoman was silent for a moment, then said in a subtle tone, "Well, I don't know...we haven't seen each other for a long time, and he doesn't seem to want to see me too much."

"Really?" Guo Xiang asked cautiously, "You and big brother...has anything happened to you before? Alas, it's a pity that I was born too late."

She seemed to be regretting that she could not participate in Yang Guo's past, Lu Xiaoman smiled, and when she was about to speak, there were two soft sounds outside the door, Guo Xiang was taken aback, immediately stood up, and said in surprise:

"Big Brother is back!"

She hurriedly opened the door and went out, only to find that Huang Rong was standing outside the door, her steps froze immediately, her expression froze:

"Mom... why are you here?"

"Xiang'er? What are you doing here?" Huang Rong was also deeply surprised, she didn't expect to meet her little daughter here.

"I... I'm here to talk to Sister Lu." Guo Xiang grabbed the hem of her clothes and replied mumly.

Huang Rong glanced at her, temporarily suppressed her doubts, and casually said:

"Then go play somewhere else first, Mom wants to discuss something with the girl on the way."

"Oh..." Guo Xiang curled her lips and left slowly. Huang Rong looked at her reluctance, shook her head helplessly, and then said to Lu Xiaoman:

"I'm laughing at you. My daughter is spoiled by the family when she urinates. She has a naughty temper and is not easy to discipline."

"Nothing, Xiang'er is clever and smart, I like it very much." Lu Xiaoman raised the curtain and said with a slight smile, "Mrs. Guo, please come in."

Hearing that her daughter was being praised, Huang Rong was naturally in a good mood. Her face was even more friendly, and she said while walking:

"Last time you mentioned the plan to preserve the fire for the Central Plains martial arts. Brother Jing and I both felt that it was very practical. I have some ideas..."

"Tinder Project" is Lu Xiaoman's task this time. Although she can complete it alone, it will be easier to implement with the help of martial arts leaders such as Guo Huang and his wife. That's why she followed Guo Fu and others Came to Xiangyang.Now it seems that this method is quite good, and Huang Rong is obviously moved.

After talking about the business, the pot of tea was almost bottomed out. Both of them had the same warm smile on their faces, and they seemed to be having a good time talking.Huang Rong put down the teacup, looked at the mysterious woman in front of her who was the same as before in terms of appearance and demeanor, and thought of her poor nephew who didn't know where she was, couldn't help but sigh:

"Guo'er is an infatuated person. Although he hasn't said anything these years, Uncle Guo and I know it well. He always misses you, remembers you, and never forgets you for a day...you come back this time What's the plan?"

"Is that so, then why didn't he come to see me?" Lu Xiaoman just smiled and didn't answer directly.

Seeing this, Huang Rong sighed leisurely: "Give him some more time, you've been away for so many years, alas..."

After seeing off the guests, Lu Xiaoman looked at the sun in the sky, turned around and went into the house to get a bamboo basket and a small hoe, ready to dig some herbs in the nearby mountains.

The "Tinder Project" was not achieved in a day, and she probably had to stay in Xiangyang for a while, and it would be too boring to stay in the yard all day, so she might as well find something to do for herself.

After wandering outside for most of the day, Lu Xiaoman returned to Guo Mansion under the sunset.The atmosphere in the Guo Mansion is very good, everyone they met along the way greeted her with smiles, and Lu Xiaoman responded one by one.But as soon as she stepped into the small courtyard, she felt something was wrong.Lu Xiaoman put down the basket, glanced across the courtyard, and suddenly found a bouquet of fiery red flowers on the stone table.

She could be sure that there was absolutely no such bouquet of flowers in the yard before she went out in the morning, and there was a high probability that it could not have been placed when the servants cleaned up the house, because it was a bouquet of love flowers.

The color of the love flower is like blood, and the petals are stretched out, as delicate and charming as if they were just picked.Lu Xiaoman looked at it, then stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch its flower branch.

A gust of wind blew by, and the love flower, which was still charming just now, was beaten to pieces in an instant as if it had been subjected to a violent storm, and the broken petals were scattered on the ground, looking very pitiful.

Lu Xiaoman covered his lips and coughed lightly, pretending to be puzzled, "Give me flowers and not let me touch them, what's the point?"

"Who said it was for you?" While speaking, a tall and straight figure floated in front of him, Yang Guo frowned, with an angry and forbearing expression, "You can come and leave whenever you want, what's the point? "

Lu Xiaoman blinked, looked at him softly for a while, turned his wrist, and handed over the dagger that Yang Guo gave her:

"It's my fault. If you don't want to see me again, take this token back."

Yang Guo's breath stopped, his eyes were focused on the dagger, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief: "You want to sever ties with me?!"

"No, I didn't, you misunderstood..."

Lu Xiaoman was a little helpless, but Yang Guo didn't listen to her explanation at all, and asked with a cannon:

"After you've been away for so many years, you're going to dump me right after you come back? Lu Xiaoman, do you still have the heart!"

"..." She was left speechless by the question, dumbstruck, and could only mutter, "I... I'm sorry, I just want to try my best to make up for my mistakes."

Yang Guo suddenly closed his mouth, his chest unceasingly heaved, his eyes were horrified, staring at her viciously like a wounded beast.

"I see you are trying to piss me off!"

He said word by word, Lu Xiaoman couldn't help trembling when he saw that his eyes were red, and suddenly softened his tone:

"It was indeed my fault that I left without saying goodbye... Now, I will come back this time, and I won't leave again. Please forgive me, please, don't ignore me."

Yang Guo didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on her body, he was silent for a long time, he suddenly stepped forward, pulled her into his arms aggressively, gritted his teeth and said:

"Oh, you'd better do what you say."

The Condor Hero who "traveled abroad" is finally back!The news quickly spread throughout the Guo family as if it had grown wings. Guo Jing was very happy, and immediately wanted to hold a family banquet to welcome his nephew.Although the time was tight, the chefs in the kitchen still showed their housekeeping skills and prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes.

At the dinner party, everyone was present. The two girls, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, had bid farewell to everyone since Yang Guo disappeared in Mount Hua, and went back to the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, except for Lu Xiaoman, an embarrassing outsider, everyone present was related to the Guo family. Hence the "own family".There are the patriarch Guo Jing and Huang Rong, three children Guo Fu, Guo Xiang and Guo Polu, Guo Fu's husband Yeluqi, two disciples Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen, their respective wives Yeluyan and Wanyanping, and finally Guo Jing's favorite nephew. Yang Guo.

Lu Xiaoman originally wanted to dine in her own courtyard like before, usually the maids would help her deliver the food to the door, and take it back after she finished eating, the service was extremely good.But this time Yang Guo couldn't help but pull her over, and just as he was coaxing her better, Lu Xiaoman didn't want to please him, so even though he was cheeky, he joined the "family banquet" upright and sat in the banquet. It was indifferent.

"Now that I'm getting older, it's time to think about starting a family," Guo Jing said with a smile. After a few glasses of wine, he couldn't help becoming bald. Huang Rong gave him several winks but failed. Stopping his words, I can only listen to him continue to speak nonsense, "We used to be a good-looking talent, rich and handsome, strong in martial arts, and noble in character. He is the first-class good man in my Song Dynasty! Which good girl doesn't admire him? He? Let me tell you later, if there is a girl you like, if you do, just tell Uncle Guo, and Uncle will marry you for you!"

Huang Rong: "..." This silly brother Jing, can't you see that Guo'er is still fighting with girls on the same road?

She coughed heavily, snatched her husband's wine glass with her hands, and said with a stern face: "What are you in a hurry for? Let them settle their own affairs, so you should drink less."

Guo Xiang heard this, raised her eyes and glanced at Yang Guo shyly and timidly, then blushed and lowered her head in a daze.

"The girl you like...?" He raised his eyebrows, thinking about it seemingly in distress, but his eyes were bright, his brows were bright, and he said in a serious tone, "I made a lifelong agreement with her more than ten years ago. Uncle Guo, what should I do, if the girl wants to go back on her word now?"

Guo Jing didn't understand what he meant, and said "Ah?" with a blank face. Guo Fu's confused appearance was exactly the same as his own father, and he was worthy of being a father and daughter.Huang Rong pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. Everyone at the table had wonderful expressions, coughing like a cover-up one after another, only Guo Xiang opened her eyes wide and her face was pale.

More than ten years ago... There was a high probability that she hadn't been born yet, and even if she was born, she was just a baby.

Lu Xiaoman lowered his eyes and remained silent, poking the food in the bowl with his chopsticks calmly, trying his best to reduce the sense of existence, trying to pretend that he did not exist.But Yang Guo refused to do what she wanted, chuckled lightly, and took out a peach hairpin from his bosom in front of everyone.

"Look, Uncle Guo, this is the token she gave me. I also gave her the dagger left by my mother. We are in love with each other. Is this considered a private life?"

Yang Guo blinked innocently as he spoke, and humbly asked for advice, his scorching gaze fell on Lu Xiaoman's face, seeing her dazed, shy and embarrassed, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

"Forget it! Why don't you count it!" Guo Jing slapped the table, his chest suddenly filled with arrogance, "You just took the token and went to that girl's house to ask for marriage, how can you make love with you and then go back on it, there is no such thing in the world! Don't worry, Uncle Guo will arrange marriage for you!"

Guo Xiang: "..."

Lu Xiaoman: "..."

Guo Xiang's heart sank to the bottom of the abyss, and she felt cold in an instant. She sat there for a while, but she still didn't want to accept it. Enduring the tears in her eyes, she asked:

"Big brother...you, do you really like someone?"

Her voice was not loud, but most people at the table still heard it. Yang Guo glanced at her inexplicably, seemed to realize something, immediately sat up straight, and solemnly replied:

"Yes, I already have someone I like, and I, Yang Guo, will never fall in love with anyone except her in this life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Xiang stood up suddenly, covered her face and ran out, Guo Fu, Huang Rong and others called her one after another, but she didn't stop.Although Guo Jing didn't understand the situation clearly, seeing that the youngest daughter lost her composure and ruined a good family banquet, she patted down the chopsticks with a hint of anger on her face:

"Guo Xiang is so ignorant, she makes troubles all day long, and refuses to live in peace even if she eats, she is spoiled to the point of lawlessness!"

Seeing that her husband was in a fit of anger, Huang Rong didn't dare to persuade him, fearing that he would be even more angry, but Guo Fu didn't have this concern, so she turned her head and asked Yeluqi:

"Brother Qi, what's wrong with Xiang'er?"

She has a stubborn temper, and she can't understand many things by herself, but there are smart people around her who can answer for her. When she was young, she asked her mother, and when she got married, she asked her husband.

Yeluqi looked a little embarrassed. He didn't want to discuss his sister-in-law's love life with his wife in public, so he leaned over and whispered:

"My dear girl, I'll tell you when I get back."

"Oh...that's good." Guo Fu nodded, and immediately stopped being entangled. Anyway, this is their own home in Xiangyang, and there is no war now, so my sister should not be in danger.

The meal ended in such a rough way, when Lu Xiaoman went back, there was a little tail hanging behind her, she didn't speak, and Yang Guo who followed behind didn't speak, until he entered the yard, he still didn't intend to leave, Lu Xiaoman just Turning around, he asked angrily:

"What are you doing? I only have one room here."

"Send my fiancee back to her room, can't you?" He replied casually.

"Who is your fiancée?" Lu Xiaoman became angry when she heard that, but when she saw that Yang Guo deliberately took out the peach hairpin again, and held it in her hand to play with it openly, she opened her mouth, and instantly lost her temper.

——The hairpin I gave out, I can only recognize it with tears in my eyes.

Yang Guo raised his brows slightly, and looked over with a half-smile, with a hint of affection in his eyes:

"Who do you say is?"

"..." She remembered the way Guo Jing patted his chest and said that he would "arrange a marriage" for them at the banquet, her face turned red and then pale, and she felt guilty for some reason, "Although...but...you hurt my little sister like this. Great, isn't it?"

"But what should I do? My heart is already full of wounds." Yang Guo squeezed her chin, leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips, with a cool breath on his body, "Who is so bad?" Ah? Why don't you feel sorry for me, little heartless."
