Cold and warm depend on each other

The banquet was getting better and better, and there was a change of glasses at the table, even Su Zhe and Xue Wanxiang drank several glasses of wine with their master and wife.Zhao Xingguo and Cao Mosheng talked about that year, when they were young and frivolous, they had an accidental fight.

It was rare to get together, Zhao Xingguo drank three cups in a row, smelled of alcohol, and suddenly said boldly: "You and my brother haven't fought each other for many years, today Yaxing, let's fight another three hundred rounds?!"

Cao Mosheng laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "Let me, my little apprentice, compete with your son!" He said and nodded at Chen Hao.

Before Chen Hao answered, Zhao Hanyu stood in front of the table and bowed to several elders: "Today in the martial arts hall, my nephew and Xiaoman are exchanging swordsmanship, and the winner has not yet been decided. I wonder if I can invite Xiaoman to end. Give me another lesson."

He had a smile on his face and was modest, but inside he was somewhat provocative.

Qin Shiyu raised her eyebrows.

Owner Zhao has always valued this son, seeing him standing tall and tall in front of the hall, at first glance he looked like himself more than 20 years ago.He stroked the well-trimmed beard on his chin, and said cheerfully: "Then let this kid compete with your Xiaoman?"

Su Zhe saw that everyone in the room looked over, stood up calmly, and bowed to the master: "I dare to ask Brother Zhao for advice."

Cao Mosheng nodded, looked around and saw that there was no weapon prepared at the banquet, so he asked the two of them to go to the martial arts hall to pick out a weapon at hand.

The two left the table hand in hand, Su Zhe turned his head and winked at Xue Wanxiang.Xue Wanxiang kept her eyes on her all the time, seeing her looking over, she smiled back naturally, in which she was so bright and nostalgic that it was almost impossible to hide it.

Zhao Hanyu saw it, and his heart sank a bit.

The martial arts hall is not far away, Su Zhe walked in front first, Zhao Hanyu was two steps away from her, during this period Su Zhe did not say a word, Zhao Hanyu also remained silent.

Su Zhe's saber was lost when he was chasing Xue Wanxiang into the water in Huai Su City, and now he only uses an ordinary sword, which is not very handy.Zhao Hanyu on the side also just took a sword for practicing kung fu, she closed the sword case and prepared to go out.

Zhao Hanyu was not in a hurry to leave, he held the sword in his right hand, and slowly wiped the two fingers of his left hand over the sword. ?"

Su Zhe frowned slightly: "Want to make an engagement for you and Cao Xiaomai?"

"Yes." Zhao Hanyu hung down the tip of his sword, looked at her and said, "Cao Xiaomei didn't come back with you, my parents were very disappointed, but I was very happy. Xiaoman, do you know why?"

Su Zhe looked at him for a while, then said indifferently but definitely: "I don't want to know."

Zhao Hanyu took a breath, and still opened his mouth: "Because I like you. Su Xiaoman, I have always liked you."

"Senior Brother Zhao, I remember I told you when I was in Chucheng that I have someone I like in my heart. That person is not from the Jianghu. A gentleman does not take what others like, so it is okay to use it in this matter. "Su Zhe smiled, and walked to the gate of the martial arts hall first.

"The person you are happy with must be Miss Xue!" Zhao Hanyu shouted from less than ten steps away.

Su Zhe's footsteps stopped.

"I chose this after so long in the martial arts hall?" Cao Mosheng glared at Su Zhe, "Look at the jokes made by Zhu Zhuangzhu and Zhuangzhu's wife!"

"I'm still picking out Ah Zhe's saber. Why are you so fierce?" Qin Shiyu guarded his son and stared back: "The two children are just exercising martial arts. How can Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao do it? Strange."

Xu Ran'er knew that men were good at saving face, so she helped smooth things over.

Clan Master Cao and Zhuang Zhuang Master Zhao drank a glass together, and the two people in the main hall had already opened up their posture.

However, after a few tricks, Cao Mosheng had already noticed that Su Zhe was absent-minded, Zhao Hanyu seemed to defend him, and did not pursue the victory when he saw the flaw.Zhao Xingguo shook his head and said nothing.Cao Mosheng snorted coldly, and knocked the wine cup in his hand heavily on the Liuyun long table, making a "clang" sound.

Su Zhe's heart trembled, he blocked his sword move, and looked up to see Zhao Hanyu fixed her gaze.Her expression was slightly cold, her sword move changed in vain, she stuck to his hand like a swimming dragon and attacked Jianjing.

Zhao Hanyu was a head taller than her, but she forced him to take a step back. Seeing that she was attacking faster and faster, he had to restrain his mind and take the move seriously.

In terms of kung fu, these two people are probably indistinguishable from Zhong Bo, but Zhao Hanyu is a man, and he walks the route of opening and closing, while Su Zhe has a dexterous figure, and his lightness kung fu is slightly better.After all, the venue of this hall is limited, Zhao Hanyu has scruples in his heart, and the family's unique skills cannot be used. After more than a hundred rounds, Su Zhe turned over with a kite and swung his long sword with a backhand, barely stopping two inches in front of his chest.

There was silence in the seat, Su Zhe took a step back, folded his sword and cupped his hands: "Accept."

Zhuangzhu Zhao's face was a little ugly.

Qin Shiyu kicked Cao Mosheng, looked at Su Zhe in the audience and pretended to be reprimanded: "Your brother Zhao let you go, if you were not in the hall, how could you go through a hundred tricks under his hands, and don't tell you Zhao?" Brother toast."

Cao Mosheng felt complacent, knowing that Zhuangzhu Zhao's face could not be wiped off, he poured a glass of wine himself: "Xiaoman is just a fluke, we must not be complacent. Brother Zhao, let's have another drink."

After hearing what Qin Shiyu said, Zhao Xingguo still felt that it was to the point, so he didn't say anything else, and raised his glass to drink with Cao Mosheng.A contest turmoil was revealed.

It was already dark when the ceremony was over.Everyone exchanged a few words, and the girls and women led the way with lanterns, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Xue Wanxiang drank some wine, and Su Zhe walked slowly with her on his arm.Xue Wanxiang looked at her with bent eyes, although she was drunk, she still managed to maintain her pace.

Su Zhe looked funny, put aside his worries for a while, and accompanied her and said, "What's so happy about it?"

Xue Wanxiang moved closer and pinched Su Zhe's palm: "You defeated Mr. Zhao today."

"You're happy like this?" Su Zhe also held her hand tightly.

"Well. I see that you beat him so hard that he couldn't fight back, so I'm happy."

There was a first-quarter moon hanging in the sky, the moonlight was pale and misty, Su Zhe saw Xue Wanxiang tilting his head, looking slightly charming after drinking, his heart softened.

The lights in the garden were dim, and it took seven or eight steps to pick out a lantern.Su Zhe took her hand and stood for a while before coaxing her: "Let's go back."

Xue Wanxiang nodded and leaned closer to her.

Walking past a clump of flowers and trees, I suddenly heard a voice shouting from behind: "Xiao Man!"

Su Zhe felt impatient before seeing him, Xue Wanxiang frowned, turned around and saw Zhao Hanyu walking over quickly.

"Why is Brother Zhao in the back house?" Su Zhe asked in a bad tone.

Zhao Hanyu looked at her, then at Xue Wanxiang, his eyes paused for a moment on the two slender hands they were clasping.

Su Zhe slightly withdrew his hand, and kept Xue Wanxiang behind him calmly.

"Mrs. Cao gave my mother some gifts, and my mother asked me to give them back." Zhao Hanyu's eyes fell back on Su Zhe, and he stopped avoiding Xue Wanxiang, and asked directly: "What is my proposal in the martial arts hall tonight? How do you think about it?"

Su Zhe's brows frowned even deeper, and anger was already burning in his eyes.Hearing these words, Xue Wanxiang looked at her suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions.

"I think I've made it very clear." Su Zhe snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Xiaoman! I really like you. If you marry me, I will treat you well for the rest of my life." Zhao Hanyu caught up two steps, only an arm's length away from Su Zhe.

"Azhe, what did he say?" Xue Wanxiang turned her head, eyes full of surprise.

"He's talking nonsense. I'll explain it to you when I get back." Su Zhe didn't even look at Zhao Hanyu, and dragged Xue Wanxiang away.

Zhao Hanyu grabbed her wrist violently, his voice was already annoyed: "Xiao Man, from now on you will be with me, I won't mind these things from the past. Don't be obsessed with it, and let the world's martial arts look down upon you!"

Xue Wanxiang's heart trembled, she vaguely understood something, she turned pale, and let go of Su Zhe's hand.

"Wan Xiang!" Su Zhe hurried to pull her, but one of her wrists was pulled by Zhao Hanyu, the hand was very strong, she was pulled back by him, and angrily said: "You are the one who is obsessed!"

Zhao Hanyu stared at her deeply, his eyes were gentle, and his tone comforted: "You have never admired a man, so how do you know that being with a man is not as happy as being with a woman?"

Seeing Xue Wanxiang's figure turn around a corridor, faintly getting further and further away, Su Zhe took a deep breath, turned her wrist, and when Zhao Hanyu let go of her, she raised her head, fixed his eyes, and said word by word: "I don't know Zhao Hanyu How many men did you fall in love with before you finally decided to spend your life with a woman?"

When the words fell to the ground, Zhao Hanyu was left speechless by the question.

Su Zhe smiled coldly, just like when Xue Wanxiang fell into the water in Huaisu City before, she chased her figure and walked quickly without hesitation.

Back at Yuancheng Pavilion, Ningyu was waiting for her in the main hall, seeing her come back, she hurriedly asked the little girl to bring up the hot water she had prepared. "Apply it on your face to get rid of the alcohol." Ningyu said as she handed over a hot towel, and a girl beside her was holding a bowl of hangover soup.

"Where's the incense?" Su Zhe took the towel and wiped his face, then washed his hands with the hot water in the copper basin.

"Ms. Xue has been back for quite a while, and Ms. Xi'er is taking care of her grooming. I should rest in your room now."

Su Zhe nodded, sent the maids to rest, and went straight to his room.

Just when she was about to knock on the door, Xi'er came out of the room and saw her call out habitually: "Grandpa..." The last word came in a low voice when she remembered where it was.

Su Zhe lowered his voice and asked, "Is your lady asleep?"

Xi'er glanced around the room, and answered irrelevantly: "Miss is crying..."

Su Zhe was even more anxious, he pushed open the door and walked in, ignoring other things.

Xi'er sighed and helped them close the carved door.

The lamps and candles in the flower hall were swaying, reflecting the figure lying on the side on the bed, the small balls formed into a ball, making people look at it with pity.Su Zhe was so distressed that he bent his knees to the edge of the bed, caressed the soft arm of that slender man, and said softly: "Wan Xiang..."
