The sword god brushed the Taoist robe

Just when a cheeky Taoist kept lamenting his many years of teaching achievements, one of Hua Manlou's subordinates knocked on the door and entered, so the cheeky Taoist had to stop——

The person who came was a confidant of Hua Manlou, he closed the door after he came in, and then took out a piece of paper.

The news was sent by pigeons sent by Ximen Chuuxue who stayed behind in the capital.

This paper was passed between Qiu Taoren and Lu Xiaofeng for a round, and then Lu Xiaofeng burned it directly.

Hua Manlou was very calm when he smelled the burning paper, "What's going on?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the confetti that had turned into ashes, and said, "Ximen Chuuxue said that he hooked up with Ruan Qing."

"Ruan Qing, the eldest son of Geng Xinghou," Hua Manlou still has some impressions of this person, but it is only limited to his name and his prominent posture.

They didn't have much impression of this Ruan Qing before, and Lu Xiaofeng just put this person in the position of passers-by, so he was still digesting the news just now.

What was the reason why Ximen Chuuxue hooked up with Ruan Qing?But judging from what was said above, I'm afraid they have already started to act, and all he has to do now is to cooperate with Ximen Chuuxue as much as possible.

But when he left with Taoist Qiu, Ximen Chuuxue didn't seem to have this idea at all, he didn't even mention it, could it be because of some kind of stimulation?

The struggle between the two sides here has not yet ended, but Ximen Chuuxue hopes to shift the focus of the matter and let the two sides cease fighting. Although this idea sounds a bit absurd, it seems quite feasible...

So far, they were only looking at the small situation. Ximen Chuuxue's action meant that he had already begun to consider the overall situation. What made him make such a decision?

Lu Xiaofeng's mind was spinning a thousand times, Qiu Daoren didn't give in, only Hua Manlou didn't understand, so he waited for the two of them to be silent for a long time without any response, and then asked, "Do you know him?"

"Have I ever said that last time Wandai rescued a dog on the street?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, stroking his two beards.

"……No."

"Then let me tell you now, the dog that barks after being rescued is Ruan Qing."

Hua Manlou clearly disagreed with Lu Xiaofeng's words, but was blocked by Lu Xiaofeng's vivid description of the situation, and finally had to admit that such a person is really annoying.

"Then how did they catch up?"

Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "When we meet him later, we will ask them."

Hua Manlou: "..."

"My lord," Tang Er, Huamanlou's confidant, couldn't help laughing after hearing Lu Xiaofeng's description. At this moment, he still devoted himself to his duty and told Huamanlou the letter sent secretly by Huamanlou, "The owner of Ximen said that he and Ruan Qing The plan is to drag the front to the southern coast."

Hua Manlou didn't react a bit, and only asked: "Isn't the Japanese pirates making trouble in the southern coast today? What does he want to do?"

Qiu Daoren said in a low voice: "End the current situation here, and blame all the problems on the Japanese pirates."

Hua Manlou felt that this decision was a bit out of place, but Lu Xiaofeng looked at the scraps of paper left in his hands thoughtfully, "I'm afraid the master of Ximen doesn't want the martial arts to fight anymore. Going on will only hurt both sides in the end, and now it is a way to involve some scapegoats to divert attention."

Qiu Daoren's voice was also very low, "Is Ruan Qing...reliable?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head to express his ignorance, and said: "Senior also saw Ruan Qing's situation that day, he and Wan Dai were at odds, Ximen Chuuxue actually handed over the matter to him, I think this person Ximen Chuuxue has already Tried it."

"That's right, you also said the other day that this person pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger." Taoist Qiu was stunned.

"What is he going to do now? It looks like he doesn't plan to make a fuss, but just plans to divert trouble..." Hua Manlou said in bewilderment.They have been on the same front as Ximen Chuuxue and Qiu Wandai for a long time, and now that Huamanlou has made this decision, they have also figured out the key points, and they still have to support it.

"He didn't talk in detail, and it is estimated that he will send other news later."

"Then what does he want us to do?" Hua Manlou asked.

Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, "It's fine for me to do this, and I can't say anything about it."

Qiu Daoren was still a little worried: "Would it be too risky for him to do this?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Whether you take the risk or not, we are already in the same boat. If you don't help him continue, I'm afraid this matter will be even more difficult."

"Then do as you say."

Qiu Daoren waved his hand, it really is still young people's world now, these young people know how to make good use of their own advantages better than their seniors, they are the blue ones.

As expected, his little apprentice is still very sharp, and he doesn't have to worry about being able to be with these promising young people in the future.

——Of course you can find a few excellent protagonists by opening cheats, okay?

But... does Xia Ningru know?

How would Xia Ningru react to this?

Xia Ningru has quite a lot of information under his hands, and he also knows a thing or two about Ximen Chuuxue's movements, but he suspects that Ximen Chuuxue deliberately revealed their purpose to him.

Xia Ningru was also taken aback when he received the information. He didn't expect Ximen Chuuxue to act first before he got on line with Geng Xinghou's mansion, but when he saw what Ximen Chuuxue had done, he almost let him go. for.

No matter from Ximen Chuuxue's point of view or from his point of view, this matter is a win-win situation.

The internal strife in the Bliss Gate has reached the final stage, and he has swept away most of the spies and people around the emperor, and even "persuaded" a few to stand on his side. Now Ximen Chuuxue has done this As long as he focuses on sorting out the order of the Bliss Gate, then he has already got what he wants.

well.

Ximen Chuuxue did what he wanted to do, regardless of whether it was successful or not, anyway, this person was reliable in his work, and he happened to be able to see the power of Geng Xinghou's family.

But Xia Ningru thought about it, what exactly does this person want to do?Volunteer to give him benefits?

Is this for Qiu Wandai's sake or what?What is Ximen Chuuxue trying to do?This person voluntarily gave him resources, and he accepted the other party's love, but he would return it even if he didn't see it.

He will never sell his son after he does this in the future, right?

For some reason, Xia Ningru always felt a little uneasy when he thought of the words "selling his son".

It seems that it is better to end things here earlier, go back and see what the hell Ximen Chuuxue wants to do.

Thinking of this, Xia Ningru touched Xiao Xia Qin's head, "Does Xia Qin miss my brother?"

How clever Xia Qin was, he immediately said pleasantly, "Daddy, are we going back?"

Xia Ningru smiled gently and said, "Go back if you want."

Xia Qin was so happy that he almost turned around on the ground, "Daddy, we have agreed."

"I'll go back in the afternoon when Dad makes arrangements tomorrow." Xia Ningru said with a smile

There is still a battle to be fought tonight, and if all goes well, we can leave tomorrow morning.But he didn't intend to tell his youngest son that.

"Then I'm going to tell my brother now?"

Xia Qin almost ran out, but was caught by Xia Ningru.

"Daddy?" Xia Qin looked at Xia Ningru blankly.

"We gave your brother a surprise." Xia Ningru held him in his arms, "He should be very happy, right?"

"Yeah!" The child who was coaxed by Xia Ningru's few words nodded obediently and vigorously. "But Daddy, I want to bring my brother the delicious gourd king here." My brother doesn't eat meat, so he definitely won't be able to enjoy beef pancakes and stewed chicken. Only the fragrant and sweet candied haws can be eaten. Xia Qin thought for a while, Swipe and take a breath of saliva. "Can Daddy send someone to buy it?"

"Little glutton," Xia Ningru touched his head, "Father can send someone to buy it, but don't steal it all on the way, then brother will have nothing to eat."

"Of course not." Xia Qin said loudly, "By the way, Dad." He snapped his fingers and calculated, "In a few days, we will go to Jingtu Temple. Do you think brother will go with us this time?"

"Don't you want to rest when you go back?"

"But we go back every month!" Xia Qin said happily, "This time I want my brother to go with us."

"Then grind him when you go back." Xia Ningru waved his hand, picked up an official document and read it.

Xia Qin was still immersed in the joy of their going back tomorrow, and regardless of the fact that he hadn't finished writing the big characters in his hand, he took another piece of rice paper and started drawing happily.

And Qiu Wandai, who was nestled in Ximen Chuuxue's arms in the capital, suddenly sneezed.

Ximen Chuuxue subconsciously held his wrist.

Qiu Wandai was embarrassed, "I'm fine, I guess Xia Qin missed me."

Ximen Chuixue: "..."

"Uh, haven't you heard of a saying that sneezing means that someone misses you from afar."

Ximen Chuuxue's gaze was full of contempt.

Qiu Wandai shrugged, "It's fine if you don't believe it, there is another way of saying it is itchy ears!"

Ximen Chuuxue suddenly approached Qiu Wandai's ear, and whispered at the tip of that soft ear, "Is it itchy?"

Qiu Wandai's ear tips are quite sensitive. After being touched by Ximen Chuuxue, he shrank his shoulders reflexively, and dodged and said, "Don't make trouble."

Ximen Chuuxue licked Qiu Wandai's ear pinna directly, as if it was something delicious.

Qiu Wandai: "..."

"Don't you need to discuss it with Ruan Qing?" Qiu Wandai thought that I couldn't afford to provoke you, so he diverted your attention.

"He arranged it?"

"Have you discussed it?" Qiu Wandai's eyes widened, "When?"

"Before you came."

"Huh?" Ruan Qing got up so early, it seems that he still underestimated this son.

"When will it be effective?"

"Soon." Ximen Chuuxue pressed the restless Qiu Wandai on the couch, Qiu Wandai struggled a bit and was annihilated.

The ambiguous voice was indistinct, and it took a while to stop. Ximen Chuuxue gasped and said, "Don't worry, he is more considerate than expected."

Qiu Wandai was stunned: "You praised this person again."

Ximen Chuuxue rubbed his face, "It can be regarded as being on the same boat."

☆☆☆

When Xia Qin returned home, Qiu Wandai was not there.

This was the result of his running back and forth many times, but he didn't listen to what the big butler and the second butler said.

In fact, not to mention Qiu Wandai, even the second butler who seemed to be the chief butler was taken aback when he appeared, wondering if his eyes were dazzled.

"Where did brother go?" Xia Qin ran many times, and finally stopped in Qiu Wandai's room. He pouted unhappily, and climbed onto the couch to drink tea, "He's been out for a long time Did you say when you'll be back?"

"The eldest son didn't say anything, but let's send someone to look for him, he listens"

Xia Qin was happy when he heard that, as long as his brother didn't run away and stayed in the capital to wait for him, that would be better than anything else!

In fact, my brother had said before that he was waiting for him, and all the letters he sent by Feige had been answered.Thinking of these, Xia Qin's mood really improved.

"Do you think my brother will be in the Qilin Building?" He thought for a while and then said, "Or in the Wudang Villa, you send people to check in two places, and call him back as soon as you see him! The candied haws you eat should be brought to him.”

The butler quickly agreed, for fear that the little ancestor would be unhappy again.

Qiu Wandai actually met Ruan Qing today, but no matter how unwilling he was, he still had to take care of the big things first. Unexpectedly, someone came halfway, saying that Xia Qin came back with candied haws and was waiting for him in the mansion. When Ruan Qing heard that Xia Qin was back, and heard that Xia Qin and Xia Ningru had gone to Baoding together before, it was impossible for the two father and son to go back and forth. Thinking of this, he wanted to go together, but in the end Qiu Wandai couldn't help it. He had no choice but to say to the visitor: "You go back first, and said that the soft persimmon will also come, so that people can get ready."

When Ruan Qing heard his words, she instantly felt that her status seemed to have improved, and she was flattered and said, "Actually, there is no need to make special preparations. Brother Xia is really polite."

Qiu Wandai knew that he had misunderstood, so of course he would not explain it to him, but just smiled and said: "The etiquette should be complete."

After the two came out of Qilin Tower, Ruan Qing abandoned the sedan chair in order to synchronize with Qiu Wandai, and the two walked on the road together. After a while, Ruan Qing pretended to ask unintentionally: "Then your brother is back, Lord Hou?" Are you back too?"

Qiu Wandai spread his hands, pretending not to know what he was thinking: "Well, they should have come back, but they came back very suddenly this time, and I didn't hear any news before that, I thought they would still be there Stay for a long time."

Qiu Wandai thought to himself that he was really an honest and good boy, and he never lied to Comrade Ruan Persimmon!

Ruan Qing grinned grinningly: "It's only natural that Hou Ye's whereabouts are kept secret."

Qiu Wandai mumbled around Ruan Qing's body, trying to see if he had received the news beforehand, so he was going to find Xia Ningru by his side.

But this person only knows one thing and doesn't know the other. Every time Xia Ningru returns to Beijing, he will go to the emperor's son to "talk for a while". Some military affairs, I am afraid that I have already left for the emperor, and I am not sure when I will be back.

The two were walking on the street and chatting one after another, Qiu Wandai's footsteps suddenly stopped, Ruan Qing took two steps and then stopped: "Brother Xia?"

Qiu Wandai pointed to the pharmacy in front of him, "I'm going in to buy some medicine. If brother Ruan is not used to the smell of medicine, just wait here for me. I'll be soon..."

"Just go together." Ruan Qing waved her hand, "I just want to see if there is any ointment that can make my face feel better soon..."

A few days ago, Ruan Qing was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, but of course it didn’t get better in a few days. The color on his face changed three colors in three days. Now the purple color has faded away and the bruises have a little orange. His face is white, look It sounded rather abrupt, that day he begged Ximen Chuuxue for ointment but failed, so he could only continue to run rampant in the street with a painted face.

Qiu Wandai ignored him, and walked quickly to the pharmacy. When the shopkeeper saw him, he was ready to call someone. Seeing that Ruan Qing was following him, he smiled and said, "What kind of medicine do the two guests want to buy? All the medicines can be provided, and there is a doctor sitting in the hall if there is any discomfort, if you don’t know what’s wrong, it’s good to go and take a pulse..."

Ruan Qing asked enthusiastically: "Look at the bruises on my face, is there any ointment that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis?"

Qiu Wandai: "..." This guy is really crazy...

"My father and my younger brother just came back from another place," Qiu Wandai said after thinking for a while, "It may be a busy time to come back this time, please ask the shopkeeper to think about whether there are any warming prescriptions that can relieve fatigue and relieve fatigue. Can make up..."

Ruan Qing was also quite interested: "Yes, yes, I will go on a long journey soon, if I am not acclimatized, is there any medicine to cure it?"

Qiu Wandai glanced at him, Ruan Qing still knows that the climate is not acclimatized?

"Two guest officers, take your time, let me introduce you to them."

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed to the two of them. He has rich experience, so he can take care of everything. When the two came out of the shop, Qiu Wandai carried a small bag by himself, and Ruan Qing's men carried a small bag. huge.

——It looks like one person is very cautious and rational, while the other person has been completely brainwashed by Amway...

"Brother Ruan, can you send all these back?"

Ruan Qing thought about it, who came to visit and brought a lot of medicine, not millennium ginseng and bird's nest matsutake, "Brother Xia is thoughtful, but brother Xia is really good to introduce today, I have been in the capital for so long, But I didn’t know there was such a good store here. I’ll buy whatever I have in the future!”

Qiu Wandai: "..." He didn't introduce it, it's clear that he was too hot-headed and was robbed of a lot of money.But Ruan Qing actually paid for it...

"Hehe," Qiu Wandai said with a "smile", "As long as you think it's fine."

Ruan Qing touched her face and sighed: "I always feel that the medicine is really miraculous. It doesn't seem to hurt anymore. Brother Xia, why don't you poke it, or maybe I didn't poke it in the right place?"

Qiu Wandai didn't even have time to hide from him, so he didn't want to have physical contact with him, so he smiled and perfunctory, and couldn't help complaining in his heart that this person is definitely a snake spirit, okay, they really don't know each other that well.

...The point is, don't frighten his younger brother with this guy, otherwise he will really have nothing to do with him.

Originally, Qiu Wandai entered the pharmacy and didn't intend to procrastinate. At most, he came back after buying some small medicinal materials. Unexpectedly, the master also got stuck and delayed for a long time. He returned to the mansion. At that time, Xia Qin rushed into his arms like a small cannonball, looked at him with teary eyes, and complained: "Brother, why did you come back so late? I have been waiting for you for a long time. I also brought candied haws back, The candied haws there are called Bingtanghulu King, which are bigger than ordinary candied haws," he gestured, "It's delicious!"

At such a moment, Qiu Wandai was also infected by his little emotions, touched his little face, and wiped away his tears casually, "Xia Qin, a guest is here, don't let Ruan Persimmon see the joke .”

Xia Qin didn't care about Ruan Qing at all, he kept pushing into Qiu Wandai's arms, and said pettyly, "But I only took my brother's share."

The implication is that there is no role for Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing didn't think it was a big deal, he just came here, and he didn't care about the candied haws at all.

But Qiu Wandai was a little embarrassed, "Brother Sister just came back, and I didn't see me for a few days, so Brother Ruan saw the joke."

Ruan Qing waved his hand to express that he didn't mind, and he was particularly envious of the brotherhood of the two of them: "My brother is not so clingy to me, Brother Xia, you two have been separated for so many years, but you still have such a deep relationship, it's really amazing People envy."

"...Brother Ruan also has a younger brother." This man spoke directly, so he should not be polite to him.

"After he went to another place last year, he was even more polite than the shopkeeper when he came back."

"...Dare to ask Brother Ling this year's Geng?"

"Twenty-three." Ruan Qing said with emotion, "My younger brother was fortunate to worship under the former Chief Assistant's disciple in the early years. Four years ago, Kaoen Ke, although he didn't win the first class, he was worthy of being passed down, but he was regarded as a glorious ancestor. It’s rare that our family has a Wen Jinshi.”

Qiu Wandai: "..."

Is this the real show off party?

Although Brother Ruan did not rank in the top three, he is the number one in the top two, Chuan Lu, the legendary No. 4, Enke every three years, it is very good to have a ranking this year...

But I'm already in my twenties, and I'm still acting like a baby with you! !

"Ha ha."

"What are you laughing at, Brother Xia?"

"Happy for Brother Ruan."

"Brother Xia also wants Brother Ling to take the No. [-] Scholar exam?"

"It's up to him." Qiu Wandai patted Xia Qin's head, then he thought something was wrong, "It also depends on what Dad thinks."

"That's right, brother-in-law is a nerd. He likes to read since he was a child. No matter how much Ruan persuades him, he won't listen."

Qiu Wandai: "..." Ruan Persimmon, are you really your brother's real brother?You are a descendant, he is a concubine, right?

"By the way, we have been talking for a long time, but have you not seen Lord Shunning?"

Qiu Wandai pretended to greet the housekeeper, and the housekeeper said with great regret that Hou Shunning had just returned to the mansion and went out, Qiu Wandai nodded: "It seems that brother Ruan came at a bad time."

"It doesn't matter." Ruan Qing smiled, "Ruan is going out recently, and wants to visit Lord Hou before leaving, it seems that it is not possible, let's talk about it when we come back."

"Brother Ruan made a trip for nothing." Qiu Wandai found that his ability to tell lies with his eyes was gradually improving, which seemed... not a good omen.

"Ruan still has some things to arrange, and I won't disturb the reunion of your two brothers."

Ruan Qing sees that there is no hope of encountering Xia Ningru, so she plans to leave, Qiu Wandai can't wait, Xia Qin is even more happy, this person is gone, brother belongs to him!

The next day, when Ximen Chuuxue saw the little tail behind Qiu Wandai in the Wudang Club, his face was a little dark. I didn't think this was just the beginning. The little guy didn't relax at all when he was clinging to Qiu Wandai, and he kept lobbying Qiu Wandai Follow him and Xia Ningru to Jingtu Temple.

"Brother said to think about it." Qiu Wandai still gave the same answer.

Xia Qin cheekily continued to rub Qiu Wandai: "Brother didn't go last time, should he go this time?"

What is the logic?Qiu Wandai couldn't understand.

"Your brother had an appointment with me that day." Ximen Chuuxue said suddenly.

Qiu Wandai silently praised Ximen Chuuxue.

Xia Qin pouted unwillingly, and looked at Qiu Wandai pitifully, "Brother, can't we reschedule?"
