Jiang Cheng, the patriarch of the magic road - She Liu

After the Sun Shooting Conquest ended, the Wen family fell, and the Xianmen was respected by the four great families of Jinjiang and Lannie.Among them, the Lanling Jin family has the most financial resources, so the 21st year of Xuanzheng's Hundred Families Talks will be held in Lanling.

Jinling Jinling, thousands of riders on the plain, star current and electricity.It seems that last year's corpse mountain and blood sea are like a dream.

Because Wei Wuxian had a quarrel with Jin Zixun, Jin Zixun had a heavy heart and wanted to shame him, so he suggested that the top five of the princes of the family should be compared to shoot willows.

Shooting willows, a play in the ancient Qingming Dynasty, is to take a section of willow branch from a willow tree, peel off the green skin, and the shooter holds a bow and rides a horse, leads an arrow to shoot at the white core of that section of willow branch, and the one who hits the highest point is the winner.As for the aristocratic family, the younger generation had an ingenious idea to hang one more object on it, bend the bow and shoot it down, and then ride the horse to catch the lottery head.

The Yunmeng Jiang clan seldom practiced riding and archery, and used swordsmanship and long whip as their unique skill, so Jin Zixun proposed shooting willows in the spring, which was not obtrusive, but also made the two young masters who were in the top five of the Jiang clan's list a disadvantage.Further down the list of young masters, Nie Mingjue is the seventh, so naturally he dare not provoke him.

Lan Xichen's double jade looks like heaven and man. The leader of the list, Lan Xichen, took local materials and shot down a blooming Venus snow wave, not even a single petal. To prevent suspicion, he personally presented the flower to the Jin family's suzerain; Ji followed closely behind and shot a white jade ruyi pendant. Immediately, someone came up to compliment him, "A gentleman is more virtuous than jade"; It was damaged, as clean as a lake on a sunny day, and was later given to Jiang Yanli as a betrothal gift; although the Jiang family did not practice riding and archery, Wei Wuxian was skilled in all six arts, winning by surprise on the field, hanging a small jujube on a willow branch, The arrowhead and shaft knocked down the jujube, Wei Wuxian stretched out his hand to grab it, threw it into the mouth casually, chewed it three times and swallowed it, and smiled brightly in Lan Wangji's direction.

The Ouyang clan of Baling contributed a lot in the Sun Shooting Campaign, and their meritorious service was not low. After the war, they looked like a newcomer to the fairy family, so there were a few more seats on the hunting platform.When Ouyang Zihua arrived, it coincided with Jiang Wanyin entering the arena.

Jiang Wanyin rode a tall black and shiny horse, because during the filial piety period, the purple silk robe was covered with a layer of plain gauze outerwear, and the passionflower was embroidered with silver thread on it. Mind.She wears black tapestry dark pattern buckskin boots, and her black hair is not completely bundled like satin, half of it is scattered, fluttering gently in the wind.He exerted force with his feet, and the black horse rushed out like a flash of lightning, causing his purple and white robe sleeves and thick black long hair to flutter.Fifty steps away from the willow tree, Jiang Wanyin bent his bow and set an arrow, a white-feathered arrow pierced through the sky, hitting a rose with its thorns pulled out among the fallen willow leaves.Urging the horse up, the flower was almost on the ground, I saw him bending over on the galloping horse to fish it out, the skirts of his outer clothes were undone, revealing the lotus color at the waist, shining brightly under the warm spring sun , showing the graceful figure of a young man, the dark purple skirt of the lower garment is bulged by the wind, like the bud of a first-class crowned black jade peony that is about to bloom.When he straightened up, he saw the branch of rose held in his mouth, the petals were bright red, which made his face more radiant than snow, and his almond eyes were dewy, which was very charming.

Jiang Wanyin's appearance is not inferior to that of Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixuan, but his temper is hard to describe, so he is not as popular with many girls as they are. It's just that the riding skills this time are really amazing, and many of them have thought about it in the past The female cultivators who dared not express their courage boldly called "Sect Master Xiao Jiang" joyfully, and threw the flowers in their hands at him.

In the rain of flowers all over the sky, Ouyang Zihua supported the railing of the hunting platform, and said to Ouyang Zihui half-sarcastically:

"The Yu clan in Meishan is good at archery, Jin Zixun is an idiot who should have never expected it."

Miss Ouyang is a beautiful woman with watery eyes, she just smiled softly after hearing this, and stuffed a branch of magnolia into Ouyang Zihua's hands, and said empathetically:

"Sect master Xiao Jiang is here, does Second Sister want to throw flowers?"

The branch of magnolia was squeezed out of the flower juice in his hand. After a long while, Ouyang Zihua just said lightly:

"Forget it. Sect Master Jiang may not like flowers sticking to his body, but it's just that the flowers fall into the mud in vain, and it's annoying."

When she said this, Jiang Wanyin happened to be passing by under the viewing platform on horseback. He raised his head in a strange way, and seeing her, perhaps thinking of the friendship in the Sun Shooting Campaign, he nodded slightly at her, which made the audience in the stands look up. There was a burst of exclamation.Ouyang Zihua hid in the astonishment of thousands of girls, nodding to him in return where no one noticed.

At the finish line, Jin Zixun refused to let go easily, blocking Jiang Wanyin's path:

"Sect Master Xiaojiang is very good at riding and shooting, but Mr. Zewu shoots flowers first, and you shoot flowers too. Although the varieties of flowers are different, it is inevitable that you will be caught by others."

Jiang Wanyin didn't want to pay attention to him, and snorted coldly, but Wei Wuxian appeared, wrapped Jiang Wanyin's shoulder with one hand, and shook the flower with the other hand, and then the voiceless voice "Lingling" disappeared with the wind.

"Take a closer look, what else is there besides flowers?"

All the people went to look at the flower carefully, only to see a Qingxin bell hanging loosely on the rose calyx, and it did not fall even during the bumps.

Jin Zixun didn't give up when he didn't take advantage of it. Baifeng Mountain made things difficult for Wei Wuxian. Fortunately, Jiang Yanli rescued him. Yin was right in front, still loudly saying that all the monks of the Yunmengjiang Sect went for Wei Wuxian.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wanyin suppressed his anger.

"What do you mean? Hmph, Yao dare not say."

"I dare not say it and I have said it many times. Did you suddenly become more measured in front of Sect Master Jiang?"

Jiang Wanyin looked behind Sect Master Yao, and saw that the person who came was a woman, with her head tied in a bun, a white jade plum flower hairpin inserted obliquely, wearing a duck-egg green narrow-sleeved robe, holding a short sword, and a hidden weapon box hanging from her waist. It was Ouyang. Zihua.Before he could open his mouth, Sect Master Yao said:

"Miss Ouyang, no matter how old Yao is, he is considered an elder, how can you talk like that?"

"If seniority can be determined by age, wouldn't there be many more old and disrespectful people like you in the world?" Sect Master Yao wanted to say something, but was blocked by Ouyang Zihua:

"Now the Ouyang family is in charge of the accounts. If Sect Master Yao wants to pretend to be an elder, there is no reason to owe money to the younger generation. So please ask Sect Master Yao to settle the 500 taels owed to Ouyang's family last year first."

Sect Master Yao's face was blushing, and he finally clenched the Emei Thorn in his hand, snorted coldly, and walked away.Jiang Wanyin faced her speechlessly, and after a while, she cupped her hands and said in a low voice:

"Second miss."

"Sect Master Jiang." Ouyang Zihua also cupped his hands, and walked out slowly with Jiang Cheng.

Her address is different from others, Jiang Wanyin thought silently, when others called him "Little Young Master Jiang", she called him Mr. Jiang; now when others call him "Sovereign Jiang", she calls him "Jiang" Sovereign", as if he is different from others, a person who is completely unencumbered, not under the shadow of anyone, and does not need anyone's shade, he is the unique Jiang Wanyin.

The quiet afternoon sun was shining from among the leaves, and Jiang Wanyin stepped on the light and shadow on the ground childishly and awkwardly. After stepping on it for a while, she realized that she had made a mistake. She walked back to her normal pace in embarrassment, staring at a little blue and said:

"Thank you...Second Miss, you helped me get out of trouble last time in Yiling, and today."

"Hey, it's okay, hero save the beauty." Ouyang Zihua suddenly laughed.

Jiang Cheng reacted foolishly for a moment, then realized that the "hero" she was talking about was herself, and he, Jiang Wanyin, was the "beauty". His brows stood on end in embarrassment and anger. Faced with a person who helped him, his expression was restrained, but there was still a trace of hesitation on his fair face.

Ouyang Zihua himself was happy enough, seeing that Jiang Wanyin was a little unhappy, he said:

"It's just a joke. Why is Sect Master Jiang's expression so complicated? Don't you know that this beauty not only refers to a beautiful appearance, but also a metaphor for a virtuous person in the pre-Qin period. Moreover, Sect Master Jiang's appearance is the top five in the family, and it is not 'beautiful'." It's too much."

Jiang Wanyin didn't expect that she would compare herself with a vanilla beauty, her almond eyes widened slightly, showing a hint of confusion, after a long while, she suddenly blurted out:

"how old are you?"

This time it was their turn to stare and stare. The two of them were silent for a while. Jiang Cheng's mind suddenly connected, and he was so embarrassed that he was at a loss. , but as soon as he took half a step, he heard Miss Ouyang's Qingling voice say:

"I am seventeen."

So he stopped in his footsteps, gave a soft "hmm", and added in his heart, "Me too", and wanted to run again - there was no shade here, and the sun was burning his back.

He wanted to escape from Baifeng Mountain, but was pulled back by Ouyang Zihua's "Wait a minute!", facing her, but his eyes were on a leaf on the ground.But in late spring, the leaves are still green and green, like unripe peaches, with a refreshing color.

"Don't listen to Yao Jingyan's nonsense, his cultivation is not very good, and his family's Emei thorn is also average. The only joy in his life is to wag his lips and tongue, and his name is wasted." Ouyang Zihua took a step forward, Jiang Wan Yin instinctively wanted to take half a step back, but in the end he didn't move, so he stood there straight, listening to her continue:

"You are very good. During the most difficult three months of the Yunmengjiang Sect, you were the only one. You are very good and will never be inferior to anyone. The Yunmengjiang Sect is very lucky to have you."

Some things don't know what happened, like when you are boating in Taihu Lake, you should drink a cup of Biluochun, which is frightening and fragrant. It doesn't make sense, but it is reasonable.

People obviously found that Sect Master Xiao Jiang's temper has improved a lot, but they didn't know that it was because someone kept telling him that you are the unique Jiang Wanyin, as long as you don't take other people's dirty words to heart, you will hurt your heart and lungs , no one can disapprove or slander you.

Until Wei Wuxian made trouble at the flower banquet at Jinlin Terrace.

Sect Master Yao's tongue was as healthy and vigorous as ever. Miss Ouyang only reasoned that the air in the hall was turbid, and asked Sect Master Xiao Jiang if he had time to go to Tianji Terrace to get some fresh air.

I don't have time for what Jiang Cheng wants to say, I want to watch what kind of monster Wei Wuxian can be here, but he can't say it, and Ouyang Zihua drags him to Tianji Terrace by his sleeve.

The Tianji Tower, the star of the Big Dipper, is rich and noble, the Jin family is rich and princely, and the Tianji Terrace is its stargazing platform. It is magnificent, and it is even difficult to distinguish the starlight from the thousands of lights when watching the stars at night.Now in the daytime, the lights are turned off, and the long steps of white marble lead to the top of the platform and the floor is full of gold bricks, still undiminished luxury.

When he was almost at the top of the stage, Jiang Wanyin struggled hard and snatched his sleeve back.

"What are you pulling me out for!"

Miss Ouyang stood on the upper step and turned around.She was originally a slender beauty, and she could stand at the same level with the tall Jiang Wanyin by standing on one more step. At this moment, she stared at his almond eyes with curved eyelashes, and said seriously:

"Wei Wuxian didn't intend to cross you. I know that Wen Ning has helped you with warmth. If he doesn't save this matter, he will be ungrateful at Lianhuawu; if he tells you, it will mean that you will deviate from the past in the position of suzerain. He It's not that I don't take you seriously, it's that I don't want right and wrong to contaminate you. Calm down."

"You know again?" Jiang Wanyin laughed angrily, "Do you know what Wei Wuxian is thinking? Or does he always tell you what he thinks?"

Ouyang Zihua just stood there, staring at him without blinking, until Jiang Wan's ice-like face loosened a little, then quietly said:

"Don't you think he is more willing to tell Lan Wangji than me."

He was dumb, laughed for a while, and the depression in his chest melted away, and he wanted to step on the stage, but Miss Ouyang didn't mean to give way, so Jiang Wanyin said helplessly:

"I'm not angry anymore, why don't you leave?"

"I'll take a look for you."

"what?"

"Warmth and Wen Ning have saved you and helped you get back your parents' relics. You can't get rid of your identity. I'll help you to see if they are safe." After a pause, she continued: "When my mother gave birth to the third sister Difficult childbirth, it was Wenqing and her master who passed by Baling to save their mother and daughter, although I can't save them, I should go and see."

Jiang Wanyin's face became clear, then dark, then clear again, and the darkness changed like dawn and dusk in the mountains. It took a long time to move to the other side of the steps, took big strides, and went up three steps in one step, while angrily saying:

"You're going there yourself, don't involve me, I don't care whether they live or die!"
