[Comprehensive martial arts] Gentle sword

In a blink of an eye, the three-year contract expired.

This year, Ye Gucheng and Xie Wan packed their bags and set off from Feixian Island a month earlier. When they arrived in the Central Plains, the fallen leaves of the phoenix trees were rustling. It was late autumn and winter, and the first snow in Yanbei had not yet come.

The two visited Wanmei Villa, where Xie Wan met Mrs. Ximen and their one-year-old child.The child's appearance is the best of his parents, and he is very cute, but he seems a little too quiet.

After three years away, Ximen Chuuxue looked a little colder, even more like a ruthless sword than Ye Gucheng back then. As soon as the two sides met, Ye Gucheng felt tremendous pressure and at the same time aroused war. meaning.

What Ye Gucheng said to Ximen Chuuxue at the beginning was not wrong, and within three years Ximen Chuuxue would probably beat him.

The competition was held at the back mountain of Wanmei Mountain Villa. This time, there was no splendid palace as a foil, and there was no martial arts hero watching. Even their only mutual friend Lu Xiaofeng didn't know about it. Not simply a sword fight in the back mountain.

The two sides drew their swords, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of moves were scattered. Those who are not good at martial arts should not say that they can understand the subtleties of each technique, and even can only see the afterimages of the two.Xie Wan didn't know swords at all, but in recent years he often watched Ye Gucheng practice his sword, Xie Wan could see from Ximen Chuuxue's sword that his sword intent was more settled than before.Although Ye Gucheng is not weak at present, he definitely does not have the upper hand.

In the years when each of them devoted themselves to cultivation, Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship did not regress, and his realm was also improving, but Ximen Chuuxue's progress was too fast.

After another twenty moves, the sword moves of the two swordsmen became more fierce. Compared with the beginning, they completely abandoned their scruples and worries, and only the sword was left in their bodies and minds, and they became one with the sword.Xie Wan and Sun Xiuqing, as their closest wives, could only hold their breath and stare closely at the intertwined figures.

Ximen Chuuxue's momentum suddenly rose, and the sword was sharp, and a sword pierced Ye Gucheng's shoulder, and blood splashed red on the white clothes immediately.Xie Wan's throat tightened, but she suppressed her restless mood.

After many years, she once again experienced the feeling of being tightly squeezed in her heart.

However, neither of them stopped.In the end, both of them were injured, and Ximen Chuuxue won in the end.Compared with three years ago, this duel can be described as extremely tragic, even the last sword Ximen Chuuxue could have pierced Ye Gucheng's heart, but at the last moment, Ximen Chuuxue's eyes recovered and quickly deviated from his position.

After losing the sword, Ye Gucheng, who lost blood, looked even paler, but he still maintained his character as a swordsman. After putting the sword back into the scabbard, he said to Ximen Chuuxue: "You have won."

The joy of victory was not visible on Ximen Chuuxue's face. He had won against a rare opponent, and he naturally became more lonely. After a long-standing goal is finally achieved, people will inevitably face a boundless emptiness.Ximen Chuuxue looked at Ye Gucheng with complicated eyes, and said: "I don't want to compare with you three years later, your swordsmanship has changed."

There is no distinction between high and low swordsmanship, there are ruthless swordsmen, and there are those who enter the sword with emotion, but the flesh and heart, people have desires, and it is true that without desires one can be strong.It can only be said that Ye Gucheng is the same as Ximen Chuuxue, they are most suitable for ruthless swordsmanship.

Ye Gucheng's expression did not change, Ximen Chuuxue's words did not move him too much.

But he didn't last long, and several serious injuries on his body caused him to fall straight up.

Xie Wan ran over at the first moment when he saw Ye Gucheng fall, Ximen Chuixue quickly supported the unconscious City Lord Baiyun, seeing Xie Wan's panicked face, his thin lips moved slightly, and finally he said tightly: " Help him back to the manor as soon as possible."

Facing Ximen Chuuxue, Xie Wan's mood was very complicated, but she did not get angry at him on the spot or ignorantly reject Ximen Chuuxue's proposal. If Xie Wan helped Ye Gucheng back by herself, it would only delay time and aggravate his injury.

Xie Wan took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "I'm sorry for the trouble, Master Ximen."

Sun Xiuqing was right behind Xie Wan, she hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to comfort Xie Wan, but she felt that she couldn't find a position.When Sun Xiuqing met her husband's eyes, even though she was delighted that he could win, she was also restrained and bitter.

After dealing with the injury, Ye Gucheng soon came to his senses.

When he woke up, Xie Wan was the only one beside him, and Ximen Chuuxue let them stay for a short time until Ye Gucheng was completely healed.The furnishings in the house are luxurious and exquisite, reflecting the hospitality of Wanmei Villa everywhere.

Aware of Ye Gucheng waking up, Xie Wan immediately checked his pulse and body temperature. Although he had breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, there was no relaxed look on his face.During this process, Xie Wan was calm and orderly, and then carefully helped Ye Gucheng compress all the quilts that could be tightly packed, and then said: "We are going to live in Yanbei for a while, you won't be hurt well , I won’t worry about traveling back to Baiyun City when the time comes.”

Ye Gucheng looked at Xie Wan, saw that her attitude was so calm and calm since he woke up, and knew that it was not the case in her heart.

She's so calm that she's not normal.

Ye Gucheng knew that he hurt her too much this time, making Xie Wan worry about him day and night, Ye Gucheng felt full of apology.Xie Wan was still speaking slowly, Ye Gucheng stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, leaning his head on his other uninjured shoulder, stroking her back with his palm to comfort her: "Sorry, I made you worry It’s okay. You can be angry with me if you scold me, don’t keep it in your heart.”

If Xie Wan was crying or angry, Ye Gucheng put down his body to coax her.

But she still didn't want him to embarrass him, so considerate, but it made Ye Gucheng feel distressed.

Xie Wan fell silent.

Leaning quietly in the man's embrace, due to excessive blood loss, Ye Gucheng's embrace is not as warm as it used to be, making Xie Wan feel extremely warm with endless enthusiasm.Xie Wan closed her eyes, concealed the redness around her eyes, restrained herself, but still trembled: "I'm not angry with you, and I don't blame Ximen Chuuxue, it's normal for people to be killed or wounded in sword competitions." , I know it well, there is no reason to be weird."

She was just very scared at that moment, afraid that fate would never deviate.Ye Gucheng should have died three years ago, even though Xie Wan knew that her fate was not unchangeable, but she was afraid that these three years were just a temporary oversight or charity by the Dao of Heaven, which had been lurking in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to take Ye Gucheng away from her. .

And it's not that Ye Gucheng won't lose. Losing is too expensive for someone like Ye Gucheng.

The two had a tacit understanding never to ask a question before, and at that time they both felt that there was no need to ask.Both of them are people with a clear mind and a resolute attitude. Since they are determined to be a couple for a lifetime, they will cherish each other.

Now, Xie Wan raised her head from Ye Gucheng's arms, her expression was extremely serious, with a bit of fear and loss for fear that he might notice.

"Did I make you lose?"

Ximen Chuuxue's words were enough for Xie Wan to understand that for a swordsman who is originally a ruthless sword, perhaps feelings are indeed his fatal weakness at certain times.This weakness cannot be erased by subjective negation. Three years ago, Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship was slightly better, and the two had their own concerns, which could not constitute Ye Gucheng's weakness.But now, in front of Ximen Fuxue who was at his level, this weakness was fatal enough.

Xie Wan felt that it might be harder for her to accept the fact that he lost than Ye Gucheng himself, because it was caused by her.

Ye Gucheng embraced his wife, like a bearish elder, he relieved Xie Wan's depression in a peaceful tone.

"Wanwan, this is just asking for benevolence to obtain benevolence. I have never regretted it, and I don't want you to."

There are gains and losses in the world, Ye Gucheng understands.Perhaps if it is true that Ye Gucheng who does not know love, he may not lose today, but one cannot be greedy for too much.Although this is human nature, Ye Gucheng may still have a bit of melancholy in his heart.

But that's how it is, seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, things in the world cannot be perfect.

Verbally agreed to Ye Gucheng, but Xie Wan would not be able to get over this matter for a while in her heart, and she was not in a good mood this winter.

During the few days when Ye Gucheng was recuperating in Wanmei Villa, Xie Wan met Sun Xiuqing several times. Most of the time, Mrs. Ximen was alone, and the child was weak, so she couldn't be carried out when it started to snow.It was only at this time that Xie Wan understood the pain in the heart of Mrs. Ximen, who was far away from the Emei brothers and sisters and married into Wanmei Villa with their confusion and disappointment.She loves her husband very much, but Ximen Chuixueruo continues to walk on the path of ruthless swordsmanship. To maintain this relationship, one of the parties is doomed to work extremely hard and be isolated and helpless.

Seek kindness.

Only once, after Xie Wan saw the two were speechless, Ximen Chuuxue quietly watched Sun Xiuqing's back as he went away.

Later, Ye Gucheng and Xie Wan left Wanmei Villa, as for the future of Ximen and his wife, it can only depend on the two of them.

The two planned to live in Yanbei that night, but Xie Wan never thought that she would meet someone absolutely unexpected on the street.The man was wearing brightly colored clothes, no longer the frustration, melancholy and loneliness that Xie Wan remembered in the past, he was still suave and suave, and he was still the handsome Tanhua Lang in the hearts of many ladies back then.He was carrying two jars of wine in his hand and was about to go home when he ran into him unexpectedly this time, it was Xie Wan riding a tall horse.Looking back over the years, this scene is very similar to when Li Tanhualang was riding a horse and parading through the streets of the capital more than ten years ago.

The two parties were taken aback for a moment, neither expecting to see each other again.Xie Wan was more shocked.

It was Li Xunhuan who broke the silence first, he smiled at Xie Wan and Ye Gucheng and said, "I haven't seen you two for many years."

Those twists and turns, all turned into a relieved smile after a long absence.

Xie Wan dismounted, and greeted Li Xun Huan face to face, as if she was the same Miss Xie back then.

"Master Li, long time no see."

Li Xun Huan noticed Xie Wan's updo and congratulated the two.

There is a lot to say, and thousands of words are hidden in the unfamiliar and plain greetings.Ye Gucheng's eyes darkened, but he knew he should leave the words to the other two.It was still Li Xunhuan who broke the silence, he raised the wine jar in his hand: "It's still Miss Xie's wine. Since we met each other, why don't you two have a light meal in Li Yuan."

The cousin became a wife, and the lovers finally got married.

Lin Shiyin didn't remember Xie Wan, but she heard that she was Li Xunhuan's guest, so she rarely smiled in front of outsiders.The table says it's home cooking, but it feels right at home.Tanhualang still treated his friends with the same enthusiasm, but Lin Shiyin was the one who paid the most attention at the banquet.

Occasionally, a glance meets, and warmth flows in it.Xie Wan could recognize it, it was the eyes that had settled down after a long time of affection.

The fate really changed, but she didn't understand why she met these two people again, and how Li Xunhuan would remember her.

Some things naturally need to be made clear before they can be let go.

To Li Xunhuan's surprise, Xie Wan didn't mind Ye Gucheng staying to listen.This gave him a deeper understanding of the relationship between the two.After all, some secrets may be unavoidable due to various circumstances, and even close relatives and loved ones cannot share them with each other.

Bringing up old things again, when you really fall into the past, it is not so difficult to be brought up by the person concerned.Li Xunhuan opened the wine jug that he brought back from Zhenhai Tower today, poured a glass for the two of them, and after taking a sip, he said with emotion on his face, "At first I didn't know anything about you, Miss Xie from my memory. I completely forgot about it, but I realized it was wrong later, but when I mentioned it to Shiyin, I found that she didn't remember it either. People are always curious." Li Xunhuan continued with a smile, "But I slowly Thinking of everything, it sounds absurd. I dreamed of another "me" life, but that "me" was very frustrated. I compared it carefully, and finally found that the source of the biggest difference between the two lives is Miss Xie. .”

"At first I thought it was Zhouzhuang Mengdie, but later I believed it was a past life. It's just that I didn't expect to see Miss Xie again."

Even though he had only seen each other's appearance in a dream before, there was a sense of familiarity in his body when they first met. This deep familiarity made Li Xun Huan finally confirm that he must know Xie Wan.

It really is very familiar to get along with each other.

Xie Wan didn't expect it to be like this, and felt a little dazed for a while.

Li Xunhuan asked: "It's just that Shiyin and the others really don't remember you. I'm the only one who remembers this memory. I want to know what's going on."

It's hard to explain in a few words, Xie Wan said: "Perhaps Mr. Li is special in the eyes of heaven."

Li Xun Huan didn't understand for a moment, but he also felt that he had found some clues.

As for why they met again, even Xie Wan couldn't think of an answer, and perhaps the only thing that could really give her the answer was to leave her system.But the joke of fate has been played so many times, and this one is not bad.

Xie Wan didn't want to delve too deeply into it.

The bosom friend met again, and they became good drinking friends. Li Xunhuan and Xie Wan had a hearty drink. Ye Gucheng was injured, and Xie Wan refused to keep the cup for him. Sober up soup.

Li Xun Huan's face was sullen when he drank to his heart's content, Xie Wan looked at him and apologized to him for stabbing him.

"I'm sorry for stabbing you earlier."

Li Xun Huan paused for a while, holding his wine glass and shaking his head slightly: "You don't have to say it out loud, I figured it out a long time ago, Miss Xie may have helped me once, so there is no need to apologize to me."

All the unfinished and unfinished words turned into cups of wine, Xie Wan rarely got a little drunk, and finally Ye Gucheng took him back to the guest room.Li Tanhua once again congratulated Ye Gucheng sincerely: "Li Mou wishes the two of you a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Ye Gucheng turned back: "Thank you."

Xie Wan went to Zhenhai Tower once, and ordered a table there that was so rich that two people couldn't finish it.Xie Wan believed that she might be slandered by the guys in the restaurant for being stupid and rich.

Xie Wan met Uncle Zhong, the old man was a little older than before, but fortunately he was in good spirits.Seeing such a proud guest like her, I specially met her when I checked out.Xie Wan didn't see Ah Tang and Xiao Tao, but after a few days she knew that one of them was already a happy bride, and the other had opened a rouge shop as a small boss.

They met each other but did not know each other, but Xie Wan thought it was not bad.

Li Xunhuan couldn't make it back to Baiyun City for the New Year, and Li Xunhuan wanted to keep Ye Gucheng and Xie Wan in Li Garden for the New Year, but Xie Wan declined.

"Naturally, we spend the Chinese New Year with our family. We two guests will not bother you and Mrs. Zun. Brother Cheng and I will go back to Nanhai all the way, and we will celebrate the New Year on the way."

No matter how good a friend is, there is no reason to force each other, so Li Xunhuan had no choice but to let it go with regret.

When leaving Yanbei, Xie Wan lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a last look at Yanbei City.Ye Gucheng held her hand, Xie Wan felt the warmth on the back of his hand, felt moved and helpless, turned around and explained to Ye Gucheng: "Husband, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Ye Gucheng replied softly: "Yes."

Xie Wan bent her lips and leaned her head lightly on Ye Gucheng's shoulder.

"Actually, I'm very happy. At the beginning, I felt that I owed something. I can see each other again and make it clear. It's a settlement."

"Besides, although I can't go back to Baiyun City, I can still be closer to my family for the New Year. I should write a letter back to reassure Uncle Ye and the others."

Ye Gucheng listened carefully to what Xie Wan said, occasionally responding.

Cars and horses are leisurely, all the way to the south, the years are quiet and good.
