Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Ling helped Wen Zhaoyu up from the couch in his sleep.

It was not yet dawn, and it was still snowing outside, and the station was quiet, with no one moving around.Wen Chaoyu hadn't experienced the routine of Yunhua Palace for more than ten years. She never woke up until the sun was high in the Ziwei Sect, and she could stay up until noon the next day when she chose a restaurant to listen to music, so when Bai Ling told her that now At just a moment, Wen Chaoyu's heart was as shocked as knowing that Man Jiangxue was going to break into Ziwei Sect to kill her.

"What's the matter, you woke up before the chicken woke up?" Wen Zhaoyu said, "It's fine if you don't sleep yourself, but don't let me sleep. Didn't that old lady of Liuli Peak teach you to respect your elders?"

After getting along with Wen Chaoyu these days, Bai Ling has figured out her temperament. She is not a bad person, but her mouth is quite annoying.Bai Ling said: "Didn't my uncle tell me yesterday that I have to go back to the palace early this morning, I will serve this and that, and I want to sleep a little longer."

Wen Chaoyu said: "Then there's no point in waking up so early! Where's Manjiang Snowman? You go and tell her that I haven't had enough sleep yet, so let her wait for me."

Bai Ling laughed when he heard this, soaked the handkerchief and washed Wen Chaoyu's face, and said: "Uncle Shi and Xiao Qiu left the city yesterday, and they haven't returned all night. They will probably be back soon. What request do you have? Tell the uncle directly, I dare not convey it."

As soon as he heard that Man Jiangxue and Yin Qiu hadn't returned overnight, Wen Chaoyu immediately became alert and asked, "What are they doing out of the city? Did Wanshu come back?"

Bai Ling glanced at her, and replied: "Senior Sister Ji is definitely still on the road right now, even if I hurry up, it will take two days to get back. As for what the uncle and Xiaoqiu are doing, I don't know. "

When Wen Zhaoyu heard this, he let go of his concerns, but asked again: "We arrived in Shangyuan City yesterday, and Man Jiangxue was not in a hurry to return to the palace. He ran out of the city and didn't come back all night. Yin Qiu alone, they didn't leave a few words with you?"

Bai Ling thought in his heart that you are really being lenient, but he still answered honestly: "I guess, the uncle probably went to celebrate Xiao Qiu's birthday. It was Xiao Qiu's birthday yesterday."

"What?!" Wen Chaoyu raised his voice, "The two of them ran out to eat and drink hot food, but I was like a wooden stake, unable to move, lying in your dilapidated post for a day and a night, is that fair!"

Bai Ling spread his hands and said, "I don't care if it's fair or not. When uncle comes back, are you going to fight with uncle?"

After she finished speaking, she called Xue Tan who was waiting outside the door, and went downstairs behind Wen Chaoyu's back. Wen Chaoyu said angrily: "Man Jiangxue is really inhumane. She is greedy for pleasure, but she treats me as a criminal. Hurry up and give me back!" Solve the hole!"

Bai Ling was about to answer her, but when she moved her lips, she heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the gate. She turned her head and saw that it was Man Jiangxue who brought Yin Qiu back, so she smiled and said, "It's just right, uncle You are back, you can confide in any unhappiness you have at this moment."

Wen Chaoyu snorted slightly, watched Man Jiangxue walking towards the front hall with Yin Qiu in his arms, and said sourly: "Hey, the busy man is finally willing to show up. Where have you been so happy all night?"

Man Jiangxue ignored her, sat down the sleepy Yin Qiu at the table, and said, "Where should I report to you?"

Wen Chaoyu said: "Relieve the acupoints for me!"

Man Jiangxue turned a blind eye to her appeal, and left him alone, waiting for Bai Ling to serve breakfast, before she put two fingers together and tapped Wen Chaoyu's chest twice.

Wen Chaoyu reacted quickly, and ran away without saying a word, but before she took two steps, a silver light flashed in front of her eyes, and Ningshuang suddenly attacked from behind, barely blocking her in front, forcing Wen Chaoyu to stagger, almost unable to stand stable.

Seeing this, Bai Ling couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh, while Xue Tan covered his face with his hands, not knowing what his expression was, Wen Chaoyu felt bored, sat back resentfully, stared at Man Jiangxue and said, "I'll just try try."

Man Jiangxue said: "I will try too."

Realizing that it is really difficult to escape under the eyes of Man Jiangxue, Wen Chaoyu forced herself to accept this cruel fact. She drank two mouthfuls of clear porridge, and her eyes fell on the two opposite people casually. At first, there was nothing wrong. Afterwards, it became more and more wrong, Wen Zhaoyu showed confusion, pointed at Yin Qiu who was out of spirits and drowsy after returning, and said: "What's wrong with this child?"

Man Jiangxue broke the pastry into pieces and fed it to Yin Qiu. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

Wen Zhaoyu said, "She's sick again? Why didn't she bring herself to eat a meal?" After thinking for a while, he said, "You were the one who carried me back just now. What did you do last night?"

Man Jiangxue fed Yin Qiu two more mouthfuls of porridge, and said calmly, "I'm not sick, and I'm not doing anything," she said, and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe Yin Qiu's mouth, "I didn't wake up."

Wen Chaoyu clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "How old is this, and you still feed him mouthfuls? Isn't it just that I haven't woken up, and I'm still sleepy."

Man Jiangxue said: "Then you also find someone to feed you."

This person never knew how to write the word "polite" when talking to him. It was like this when he was still in Yunhua Palace. She couldn't help but want to see Man Jiangxue and Yin Qiu, especially when she found that Man Jiangxue looked at Yin Qiu with gentle eyes, and she was patient and meticulous when taking care of Yin Qiu, and she felt some indescribable feelings in her heart.

What happened to these two people?Wen Chaoyu thought secretly, why is the atmosphere so weird?

The gaze she cast was straightforward and presumptuous, showing undisguised scrutiny and surprise, Man Jiangxue just pretended not to see it, and continued to feed Yin Qiu without changing his expression, Yin Qiu seemed to have regained his senses just now, He waved his hand and said, "I'm full, uncle, you haven't even eaten a bite yourself."

Man Jiangxue said: "How many mouthfuls have you eaten? Drink the rest of the porridge, and drink medicine later."

Yin Qiu nodded obediently, and Man Jiangxue brought the spoon to her lips again. Yin Qiu was about to open his mouth, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw Wen Zhaoyu sitting across from her and staring at her intently. Uncomfortable, she said softly, "Uncle Wen, what are you looking at?"

Wen Chaoyu's eyes were bright, he was silent for a moment, and said, "The two of you...are you a little too close?"

When Yin Qiu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She took the porridge bowl and spoon from Man Jiangxue hastily, and said, "I'll do it myself, Master, eat quickly."

Seeing the flash of panic on Yin Qiu's face, Wen Chaoyu seemed to catch something at this moment, she opened her eyes wide, looked at Man Jiangxue and said, "I'll go... Man Jiangxue, aren't you?"

Man Jiangxue looked at her calmly: "What about me?"

Wen Chaoyu couldn't believe it: "You, are you eating the grass beside the nest?"

Hearing this, Bai Ling who was beside him choked suddenly, put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out. Seeing Bai Ling's reaction, Yin Qiu couldn't help but blushed. Only Man Jiangxue said calmly: "By the nest Grass?" She seemed to have heard some joke, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Wen Chaoyu choked, and retorted: "Don't bring it to me!" She looked at the two people again and again, and said with complicated eyes, "Yin Qiu is Man Dong's daughter, are you crazy?"

Man Jiangxue said, "So what?"

Seeing her upright look, Wen Zhaoyu didn't shy away from anything, which was tantamount to admitting that the relationship between her and Yin Qiu was indeed extraordinary. Wen Zhaoyu couldn't help but wondered: "You really... Rabbits don't even eat grass beside their nests! Why do you Worse than a rabbit?"

"That's better than you," Man Jiangxue immediately retorted, "Didn't you eat it too?"

Wen Chaoyu's face changed slightly, and he was dumbfounded and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, what have I eaten?" She paused, and emphasized, "I didn't eat anything!"

Man Jiangxue looked at her leisurely: "Didn't eat?"

Wen Chaoyu was quiet for a while, and said firmly, "I didn't eat it!"

Man Jiangxue said "oh", and said, "That's weird, Wan Shu clearly told me that you guys made everything clear that night in Weicheng."

When Wen Zhaoyu heard this, he was struck by lightning and said, "She told you...why did she even tell you this?!"

"Wan Shu has no secrets from me," Man Jiangxue said lightly, "She will tell me everything, it's not unusual."

Wen Chaoyu was stunned for a moment, looking at Yin Qiu, who was at a loss what to do, and said, "You know that too?"

Yin Qiu's face was still red, he looked at her and said, "...know what?"

Man Jiangxue said: "It's nothing, between her and Wan Shu—"

"Shut up!" Wen Chaoyu was in a hurry, "What's the matter with you? You actually gossip in front of me! Shut up!"

Yin Qiu couldn't help being aroused a little bit of curiosity, and asked: "What exactly?"

Man Jiangxue said: "She mentioned the grass beside the nest just now, don't you understand?"

Yin Qiu was startled, and suddenly realized: "I see, Uncle Wen and Senior Sister Ji are also..."

"Shut up, too!" Wen Chaoyu said frantically, "We're not the same!"

Man Jiangxue glanced at Yin Qiu, and chuckled lightly: "Who says it's not."

Wen Chaoyu originally wanted to gossip about these two people, but unexpectedly she was ridiculed by Man Jiangxue in turn. She was in a complicated mood. At this time, she couldn't even eat, so she stood there with a cold face, and she was full of stomach fire.

Xue Tan was in this delicate atmosphere, wishing he could bury his head in the job bowl, he felt that he was so redundant, he should have escaped with Bai Ling just now, fortunately, Bai Ling brought the chariot and horses to the door not long after, Xue Tan ushered in a chance to breathe, and quickly helped Bai Ling carry Ding Lianzhen, who was unconscious, from the upstairs into the carriage, and escaped from this suffocating scene.

Wen Chaoyu was relieved of his acupuncture point and regained his freedom. Naturally, he asked for a horse to ride on his own. After a few people set out on the road, Wen Chaoyu couldn't hold back for a long time and approached Man Jiangxue, and asked in a low voice, "Are you and Yin Qiu here?" real?"

Seeing signs of private communication between the two of them, Bai Ling silently slowed down a bit. Yin Qiu was sitting in the car, neither seeing nor hearing what was going on outside.

"Otherwise?" Man Jiangxue replied, "Aren't you and Wan Shu also here for real?"

Wen Chaoyu frowned, and said in a bad tone: "Can you stop bringing me and Wanshu all the time? We and you are not the same thing at all."

Man Jiangxue said: "Why is it not the same thing?"

Wen Chaoyu said: "It's unclear whether Man Dong is alive or dead. If she suddenly comes back one day, how will you face her?"

Man Jiangxue said without hesitation: "Naturally, you can face it as you want, so you don't even have to ask?"

"But the person Man Dong has always admired is you," Wen Chaoyu lowered his voice, and glanced behind him, "Did Yin Qiu not know about this?"

Man Jiangxue paused, and replied truthfully: "I haven't told her yet."

Wen Zhaoyu showed an expression of "I knew it", and asked, "Then why didn't you tell her? If she finds out someday, how will you two get along?"

Man Jiangxue was silent for a moment, looked at the mountains ahead and said, "If Xiaoqiu wants to be estranged from me because of this, then I can only respect her choice, but I don't think she would do that."

"Confidence is a good thing," Wen Zhaoyu said with a rare seriousness, "but she will know about it sooner or later. Compared with others telling her, I personally think it's better for you to take the initiative to explain."

Man Jiangxue showed a rare look of hesitation, frowned and said, "I don't know how to speak."

Wen Zhaoyu let out a "ha" laugh: "Strange, there are times when you can't speak? It's really rare."

Man Jiangxue looked at her sideways, and said expressionlessly: "You don't need to worry about my affairs, take care of yourself first."

Seeing that Man Jiangxue was also in trouble, Wen Chaoyu was extremely contented, and said complacently, "As long as your mouth is tight enough, Wan Shu won't trouble me. What am I afraid of?"

"Paper can't contain fire after all," Man Jiangxue said, "What you said to me just now also applies to yourself."

Wen Chaoyu froze in his smile, and was about to retort, but Man Jiangxue ignored her, and galloped forward.

Wen Chaoyu gritted his teeth, and said loudly to Man Jiangxue's back: "We are the same!"

Xie Yijun was sitting in front of the long desk, the notebooks in hand were piled up like a hill.

In the plum garden, the flowers and branches are intertwined, and the plums are fragrant. The bamboo curtains hanging around the pavilion can't block the cold wind. The disciples who are blowing are shaking their heads, but they dare not move rashly. Xie Yijun has been working for days, and his body and mind are exhausted. The wind was blowing to lift her spirits, the disciples naturally didn't want to disturb her, so they could only stand in the cold wind one by one and endure it.

After a while, Xie Yijun put down his pen, took a sip from the teacup, and was about to order someone to pack up and go back to the Mingguang Palace when he suddenly saw a disciple coming through the flowers and said happily: "Master! Go back to the Mingguang Palace to see Look, Master Uncle is back!"

When Xie Yijun heard it, he immediately expressed joy and said, "Really? Well, it can be counted as coming back!"

She then got up, left the plum garden with the disciple in a hurry, and when they arrived at the Demingguang Hall, they saw that Man Jiangxue and others were already waiting in the hall. Xie Yijun lived in seclusion these days and felt very lonely. Xue really had mixed feelings, and called out: "Jiang Xue is back? You guys... If I stay outside the palace for a while, I will really be alone."

Man Jiangxue nodded slightly, with wind and frost on her body, and replied: "There are too many delays, so I asked my senior sister to wait for a long time."

Xie Yijun waved his hand, talked with her for a few words, then turned his gaze towards Yin Qiu, and said with concern: "I've heard about Wei Cheng, Xiao Qiu, are you feeling better?"

Yin Qiu saluted and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader. I'm fine, and my injuries are almost healed."

"That's good, that's good..." Xie Yijun sighed, his eyes soft, "You've suffered, it's good that you can come back safely."

Yin Qiu has studied martial arts with Xie Yijun for the past few years, and he has a kind of master-student friendship with her, so he also took the initiative to ask: "With the uncle here, we can't do anything outside the palace, but the head is in the palace, is it okay? Senior Sister Ye is imprisoned in the punishment hall, and there is no one to serve the head of the house, so she must not be used to it?"

Speaking of Ye Zhilan, Xie Yijun let out another long sigh, and was about to share his bitterness with Yin Qiu and Man Jiangxue, when he suddenly saw Wen Chaoyu leaning behind Yin Qiu, Xie Yijun was stunned, and said in surprise: "Wen Chaoyu... ? How did you bring her here?"

Wen Chaoyu leaned on the back of the chair, sitting in an extremely improper posture. Hearing this, he greeted Xie Yijun and said with a playful smile, "Yo, Yijun, I haven't seen you for many years. You are getting older faster than us."

Xie Yijun is the first apprentice accepted by the former head. Not only is his seniority far higher than that of Wen Chaoyu and Man Jiangxue, he is also the oldest among several seniors. Xie Yijun is almost 40 years old now, and he works hard all day Excessive, worrying and sad, especially in recent days, he looks extremely tired, and he can't compare to Wen Zhaoyu and Man Jiangxue who look so young.

Xie Yijun and Wen Chaoyu used to be at odds and disliked each other, and every time they got together in the capital, there would always be a verbal fight, and immediately he choked on her in a cold voice: "I can die sooner than you, you traitor, you have the nerve to come back!"

Wen Chaoyu got up, stood in front of Xie Yijun, and said, "What kind of traitor is not a traitor? Even if I am a traitor, I am also a traitor of the Ziwei Sect. It is unreasonable for you to say that about me."

"You are the second apprentice accepted by Master. You have been honored as 'Uncle Master' by the disciples of the Palace Gate. What are you not a traitor?" Xie Yijun looked coldly at Wen Chaoyu and said, "Master The tomb of her old man's clothes is in the back mountain, if you have a clear conscience, you can tell this in front of her old man, it's really shameless!"

Wen Chaoyu sneered: "I am shameless, you are also unfilial, Master is dead, and you still let me go to her grave to anger her, what kind of good are you?"

Xie Yijun was furious, and a wave of evil fire rushed up to the Tianling Gai. Without saying a word, she slashed at Wen Chaoyu with a palm. , raised his hand and drew his saber to teach Wen Chaoyu a good lesson. Now Wen Chaoyu only has half of his skill left, and he can no longer beat Xie Yijun like in the past. Now he can only escape, so the two started to fight in this Mingguang Palace Come on, make a fuss.

The disciples were already shocked when they saw Wen Chaoyu, but now they were even more stunned when they saw Xie Yijun hitting someone himself, but none of them dared to go up to persuade them to fight, and they could only stand aside and watch the excitement silently.

Seeing this scene, Yin Qiu couldn't help laughing, pulled Man Jiangxue over and said, "Why did you start a fight when there was a disagreement, uncle, why don't you go and persuade me?"

Man Jiangxue had no intention of persuading the fight, instead she took Yin Qiu to her seat and said flatly, "There is nothing to persuade, let them fight."

Yin Qiu said: "What kind of talk is this? How can elders fight in front of juniors? Uncle Wen is really, he will talk quickly when he comes here, which will make the head unhappy. Besides, the head is usually so stable. A person, how can he get angry after hearing a few words from Master Wen? So many disciples see a joke..."

The corners of Man Jiangxue's lips were slightly curved, and she held the teacup and said, "They have been like this since they came. They used to love to quarrel and fight." After saying this, she looked at Yin Qiu again and said, "According to their seniority, these two people are It's my senior sister, so I don't care, they just stop fighting if they want to, and stop when they're done."

Even after she said so, Yin Qiu gave up the idea of ​​going forward to fight. Fortunately, the two of them did as Man Jiangxue said, and the fight quickly subsided, but Wen Chaoyu was not satisfied because of his lack of skill. It was a bit of a loss, and Xie Yijun took a few hits, but Xie Yijun didn't really deal with it. Of course, she knew that it would be useful for Man Jiangxue to bring Wen Chaoyu back, so she just vented her anger with her.

Swords and swords came and went quickly. Xie Yijun's activity swept away all the tiredness in her body. She raised her hand and returned the sword to its original position. Even I can't beat them now, Ziwei Cult is really a good place for self-cultivation."

Wen Zhaoyu got up from the ground, rubbed his chest and replied not to be outdone: "No matter how good it is, it can't compare to your Yunhua Palace. You were at this level more than ten years ago, and you are still at this level after more than ten years. I have to say , you have really grasped the essence of the four words of stable play, I admire you!"

"That's stronger than you, and the defeated opponent is still stubborn," Xie Yijun said, "It's a fact that you can't beat me."

"If you can't beat me, you can't scold me?" Wen Zhaoyu said, "What's your ability to beat me? Do you have the ability to beat Jiangxue all over the place?"

Xie Yijun sneered: "My kung fu has been consistent for more than ten years, and so is your thick skin. If I were you, I would find a chance to bump my head to death on the road. How did you have the face to come back to this place? It's ridiculous!"

Wen Chaoyu said: "Then why don't you just die laughing? It's as if I'm shy and want to come to your Yunhua Palace. Even if you invite me with eight sedan chairs, I don't want to come. If it weren't for Man Jiangxue's shameless The villain kidnapped me, and I will not come to your Yunhua Palace? You are ridiculous!"

Xie Yijun couldn't bear it anymore, he looked at Man Jiangxue and said, "Why did you bring her back? Bad luck!"

Man Jiangxue was about to doze off hearing their quarrel, and replied after hearing the words: "I've already checked out the details of the palace, it's not Zhilan, I brought her back to testify."

Xie Yijun raised his eyes suddenly, took two steps closer to Man Jiangxue, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Who is it?"

Man Jiangxue glanced around, but didn't say a word. After all the disciples retreated with understanding, she said, "It's Huaiwei."

Hearing that name, Xie Yijun was stunned for a moment, then he stood up straight, with a clear expression on his face, he plucked the prayer beads and said, "It turned out to be her."
