[Crossing Sword III] Call me Your Lady Queen

The waterway is quiet, the seven beautiful boats and boats have no waves all the way, the autumn mist and rain are not familiar with the water, and it is difficult to take a nap in the boat, so I get up and walk out. Looking from the railing, there is no outline of Yangzhou in front of my eyes, only misty clouds and smoke, and the sky and water are the same color.

The vast clouds and smoke shrouded the rippling blue water. Under the sky, the boat gradually drifted away. I don’t know how long it took. In the clouds and mist ahead, there was a vague outline of a pavilion. In the misty clouds, looming.

Not long after, another melodious music came from the pavilion in the distance, floating on the water surface, rippling away leisurely, leaving only the lingering sound in my ears.

In front, it should be Qixiufang.

Qiu Yanyu vaguely saw the tallest building in the smog, thinking of the building that he arrived at when he went to Qixiu to look for Xiao Baiyan in the past.

Hearing that Qiu Yanyu stood alone by the fence for a long time, Xiao Baiyan was worried that Qiu Yanyu's mood would be troubled by the influence of his family situation not long ago, so he searched all the way, stopped beside him, still with that gentle smile, Looking at the handsome boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old beside him: "Young Master Qiu, do you have something on your mind?"

Looking at the sky loft in the distance, Qiu Yanyu muttered in her heart, naturally she has something on her mind, how tiring it is to climb up such a tall tower, and you don't allow me to ride a horse, I used to climb this tower, and I accidentally walked too fast, It will fall into the water, and now I don't know if the ladder is wider than the one in the game.

Thinking about it, Qiu Yanyu reluctantly grinned and said, "Where, I just saw the pavilions of Qixiufang, which are much bigger than imagined."

Xiao Baiyan was a little surprised when he heard the words, but thinking about the past, he still couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling: "Where is Mr. Qiu, ten years ago, Mr. Qiu visited Qixiufang with his father, although he was only six or seven years old. Age is also the age of remembering things, why don't you remember at all today?"

"Uh……"

Oops, it turns out that this kid has been to Xiufang before.

"Uh, hehe, alas, I really don't have a good memory. I'm afraid I've forgotten a lot of things that happened ten years ago. Don't be surprised by Miss Xiao."

Xiao Baiyan smiled slightly, but didn't take it seriously. Not long after, the boat arrived at Qixiu Wharf, and everyone got off the boat one by one. Luo Bingxin was warned by Xiao Baiyan's eyes, and she didn't dare to trouble Qiu Yanyu, so she went He took Yunshang and ran to the side to repair the equipment that was damaged due to his trip to the rivers and lakes.

After getting off the boat, Qiu Yanyu was led by Xiao Baiyan, and walked towards the castle in the air. Ye Zhiqing, the head of Qixiufang, had been waiting here for a long time.

This castle in the air looks quite high, and it is really tiring to climb, but I don't know whether it is Qiu Yanruo's foundation is really good, or it is not easy to show embarrassment because he is new here, and he does not feel too tired when he climbs up this way. At the top of the attic, Ye Zhiqing was waiting here with several Qixiufang disciples, seeing him come in, Ye Zhiqing, who was always dignified and elegant, couldn't help showing a happy face.

"Nephew Yanruo, it's been a long time."

Little...nephew?

Wow, does Qiu Yanruo actually have such a relationship with Ye Zhiqing?This, whether it's a relative or an acquaintance, looks like this, it doesn't look like an ordinary relationship.

Sure enough, since Ye Zhiqing called his little nephew, she treated him very kindly. Hearing that he wanted to join Qixiufang, she agreed immediately, and randomly arranged for someone to prepare a private room for him. There are many women in Xiufang. There are very few men's houses, now that Qiu Yanyu is an entry-level student, naturally she can't treat her like a guest.

In this way, with Qiu Yanruo's identity, Qiu Yanyu won the favor of many high-level executives in Xiufang without any effort. During this period, Xiao Baiyan told Ye Zhiqing that after Qiu Yanyu used this pseudonym, Ye Zhiqing was meaningless and directly Changing his name to call Yanyu's little nephew, he even praised Qiu Yanyu for his alertness and his harmonious attitude, so that Qiu Yanyu became more and more suspicious of the origin of his parents who didn't know when they died.

In this way, Ye Zhiqing was bid farewell, Xiao Baiyan was left behind, and Qiu Yanyu was led by Ye Zhiqing's disciple A Ni to the residence, and explained to Qiu Yanyu the rules and regulations of Qixiufang.

After Qiu Yanyu left, Ye Zhiqing put away the gentle face just now, unable to hide the pain, and said in a low voice: "Bai Yan, Sister Yu, her husband and wife are serious, are they gone?"

Xiao Baiyan replied: "Yes, when I went to Daoxiang Village with my sisters, Qiu Daxia and his wife had already been killed by a traitor, and their bodies were also taken away. We searched all over Daoxiang Village and found no trace."

Ye Zhiqing sighed lightly: "Oh... that thief can succeed?"

Xiao Baiyan shook his head and said: "No, Bai Yan thinks that if the things in Qiu Daxia's hands are captured by thieves, they will definitely not follow Mr. Qiu all the way to Yangzhou and still refuse to give up. Mr. Qiu must have noticed this and changed his mind. The first and last names are given, but according to Bing Xin's observation, there seems to be nothing in Mr. Qiu's package that the thief asked for."

Ye Zhiqing closed her eyes, with a painful expression on her face: "This thing is priceless and involves a lot. Yan Ruo will definitely not carry it with me, and burn him, that's all. Now that he has entered my Qixiufang, I, Ye Zhiqing, will protect him with my greatest strength. Provide him with a retreat before he becomes an adult."

Xiao Baiyan nodded and said: "My sister is righteous, but Bai Yan doesn't understand that this matter happened because of the Cangjian Villa, why didn't the Cangjian Villa make any moves, even though the villa was sealed for the famous sword conference, but the autumn hero and Master Ye is very friendly, how could Master Ye have not heard of it?"

Ye Zhiqing: "Vendor Master Ye's act of presenting gifts was also out of good intentions. I never expected that Sister Yu and his wife would be killed because of this. That's all, the matter has come to an end, so there is no point in talking too much, alas..."

Qiu Yanyu, who was taken away by Ah Ni, could not have expected such thoughts from Ye Zhiqing and others. He only felt that experiencing the scenery of Qixiu for himself was really a pleasing landscape painting. The pine cone smashed, Qiu Yanyu covered her head and turned around, and saw Luo Bing sitting triumphantly on a tree behind her, tossing the pine cone in her hand, looking at Qiu Yanyu smiling complacently.

"Yo~ Boy Qiu, what kind of eyes do you have, don't look at me like that, senior sister, heh heh, as my second male disciple in Qixiufang, you should be more respectful, senior sister, you are happy, someday teach me You're doing everything in one move, hum."

Qiu Yanyu let out a 'ha', but before she replied, Ah Ni covered her mouth and smiled: "Pfft, Xiao Bingxin, don't be complacent, the master has ordered you to personally appoint sister Xiao Baiyan Xiao to be Mr. Qiu's master. In the days to come, Mr. Qiu's kung fu will be taught by Sister Xiao, even though you are a senior sister, hehe, you may not be able to tell who will teach you in the future."

When Qiu Yanyu heard it, she was amused: "No way, please trouble Tangtang Chuxiu to teach me, this is really..."

Ah Ni glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I know that our elder sister Xiao taught you by hand, you have to study hard, it is rare for us to have a male disciple in Xiufang, you have to work hard, but don't be like Shang One that..."

Having said all this, Ah Ni suddenly shut up, and Bing Xin who was at the side suddenly jumped down obediently, Qiu Yanyu was surprised, when she turned around, she saw Xiao Baiyan approaching gracefully, looking at Qiu Yanyu, she cupped her hands and said with a smile : "Hehe, as Ah Ni said, in the future, Xiao Baiyan will ask Xiao Yanyu for advice."

Seeing this, Qiu Yanyu hurriedly replied, "Where is it, please give me some advice from sister Xiao!"

Since then, his life in Qixiufang has finally begun.

Two years later

At Qixiu Wharf, a pink shadow hurriedly got off the boat and went straight to Yiying Building, even the familiar sisters on the roadside didn't care to say hello when they saw it.

"What's wrong with Ah Ni? It's as if her eyebrows are on fire."

There was no time to answer her friend's doubts, so Ah Ni rushed up to Yiying Building, panting and holding on to the door frame of the pavilion, and shouted at Ye Zhiqing and Xiao Baiyan inside:

"Fangzhu, no, it's not good, something happened to Yunshang and Bingxin who went to support the Haoqi League."

On the Qiqu Bridge, a pink and tender little girl ran on the cobbled path, bouncing and bouncing towards Shuiyunfang, her naughty twin ponytails flicked in the bright sunshine, like a girl without a trace. Gou's mind was lively and unrestrained, and a few Chuxiu guards who passed by occasionally asked her with a smile.

"Where is Xiao Chi running to?"

The cute little girl named Xiao Chi who was only about seven or eight years old ran and said with a smile, "Xiao Chi is going to play with Brother Yu."

Upon hearing this, that disciple of Chu Xiu hurriedly called out: "Junior Brother Qiu? Xiaochi, I'm afraid you won't be able to find him today."

The little girl who was jumping happily stopped immediately, turned around abruptly, stared at that disciple Chu Xiu with big black eyes, and asked in puzzlement, "Can't find it?"

"That's right, half an hour ago, Junior Brother Qiu was summoned by the Fang Master, but he has not returned yet."

Xiao Chi scratched his head in distress, and then his eyes lit up again: "Ah, then Xiao Chi goes to Yiying Building to find brother Yu."

After finishing speaking, the girl ran to Yiying Tower bouncing up and down again, those Chuxiu disciples watched her leave with smiles, thought about the matter just mentioned, but slightly discussed it.

"I heard that the host called Qiu Junior Brother urgently this time to help the mighty Yun Shang and Bing Xin's sister disappear a few months ago."

"Perhaps, Senior Sister A Ni came back in a hurry, and Junior Brother Qiu was summoned in a short time. It should be no problem. This time Xiaochi ran over, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see Junior Brother Qiu."

Perhaps it was God's will, when Xiao Chi ran to Yiying Building bouncingly, a Qixiu boat had just left from the pier, and before she climbed up to the tall Yiying Building, she was called to the side by the elder sister up.

"Xiaochi, what are you doing here?"

Xiaochi turned around: "Xiaochi is looking for brother Yu, the senior sisters said that brother Yu was called by the workshop owner."

Mentioning the brother Yu that Xiaochi was talking about, the senior sister smiled faintly, stepped forward, touched Xiaochi's head lightly, and said softly: "Your brother Yu is not in Yiying Building anymore."

Xiao Chi was shocked: "Hey? Where did Brother Yu go?"

The elder sister straightened up, looked at the boat that was drifting away on the water, and said calmly: "Junior Brother Qiu has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he has already left Qixiufang just now."

Xiao Chi was completely stunned, and immediately felt wronged: "What? It's only been half an hour, why did you leave in such a hurry, I, I didn't even say goodbye to Brother Yu."

The elder sister smiled and bent down to pat Xiaochi, comfortingly said: "Okay, okay, Xiaochi is good, Xiaochi is good, senior sister will tell Xiaochi a secret, how about it."

When Xiaochi heard this, he immediately regained his spirits: "What, what's the secret?"

The elder sister said with a mysterious smile: "Actually, Junior Brother Qiu was called to Yiying Building half an hour ago, and he left after half a stick of incense, and went back to pack his luggage. According to A Ni, he seems to have gone to look for you. It's a pity that at that time, you didn't know where to go for fun, Junior Brother Qiu didn't look for you, time was running out, so you left alone."

"What? Xiaochi wasn't just playing around, it was because Xiaochi didn't do his homework well and was punished by his master."

The little girl lowered her head in grievance, pouted her mouth and sulked, but her head turned quickly, and she suddenly thought of what brother Yu promised her yesterday, and now she is going to find her, it must be that good thing is ready , Immediately, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly bid farewell to the senior sister, and hurried to his residence.

Sure enough, when he opened the door, he saw a lotus lantern made of paper on his bed, placed upright on the bed.

And the person who gave the gift is already far away at this moment.

The elegant boat gradually drifted away on the water, except for the boatman, there was only one Qixiu disciple on board. He was originally sitting in the boat, but he got bored after a long time, so he held the fan and opened the curtain and walked onto the deck. The boatman came carrying the goods, and happened to see this young man who had been sitting in the house for a long time appear, and was stunned for a moment.

However, he saw that the young man holding the fan stepped out slowly, with a slender figure and a calm demeanor. On the thin shoulders, in those deep pupils, the mountains and rivers and the sky are reflected, facing the wind, a light pink and white silk brocade shirt flutters lightly, driving the long hair hanging on the lapel, Weaving and dancing together are lingering, but the twin swords on their backs also shine brightly in the sun.

The wind blows, and the clothes flutter. After two years, they embark on the journey to Yangzhou again. Qiu Yanyu looks at the water ahead, and there is no bullying wave on the soft and handsome face. The clothes are blue, and a breeze is raging , but the bottom of my heart is another messy entanglement.

Yangzhou, long time no see...
