[Sword Three] Seventeen strokes

When the cock crowed to announce the dawn, Nian Jin got up to pack his luggage.

There was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets from Chao Qi's room next door, followed by a soft cry of "Ouch", and then, it finally fell silent.

When he went downstairs, Gu Xiaochen was already eating breakfast, Nian Jin sat down, and said softly: "Morning." Gu Xiaochen looked up at her, his pupils were as dark as ink, as if they were endlessly deep.Nian Jin quickly lowered his head and staggered his gaze, and started to drink porridge with a bowl in his hand, when Chao Qi came downstairs bluffing. "What are you going to Yangzhou for today?" Chao Qi sat down and asked. "Meet people." Gu Xiaochen put down the bowl and chopsticks, obviously finished eating. "Who?" Chao Qi picked up a bun, took a bite, it was stuffed with cabbage, frowned and wanted to put it down, but Gu Xiaochen's persuasive gaze made her withdraw her hand involuntarily, and stuffed the bun into her mouth. "With my master, senior brothers and sisters, and Senior Mu who came here a few days ago." Nian Jin put down the bowl and answered Chao Qi. "Master, brother and sister of Nian Jin?" Chao Qi immediately put down his chopsticks, with a curious expression on his face, "They must all be beauties!" Departure" and went outside the door.Chao Qi had no choice but to wrinkle her face and swallow the buns, drank a few mouthfuls of porridge in a hurry, and ran out to get on her horse.

"Senior Lin sent a letter a few days ago. In addition to informing us to meet up in Yangzhou, he also mentioned your Gu poison." Nian Jin was stunned and asked, "How?" "Koudao in the Extreme North seems to have the answer." Kou Island?" Nian Jin felt that he should have seen this place in a book, but couldn't think of it for a while, so he frowned.

Gu Xiaochen controlled the horse forward, bowed his head to see the little Nian Jin, so close, her breath was all in every breath.

Suddenly, he was in a daze, as if he had been interested in her since the first time he met in Wanhua Valley, and this time he went out to selfishly include her as his own.She looks like a little girl, but her expression and words are elusive.The first time he spoke coldly to her, it seemed to scare her a little.Obviously it will be bad, but it must be very serious.

Gu Daochang's thoughts drifted away, and Lian Nianjin also noticed that the horse's speed slowed down.

Nian Jin looked up at Gu Daochang, who was flying to the heavens, and found the other party's gentle expression and the slight curvature of the corner of his mouth, so he forgot to speak for a while.

Gu Xiaochen is usually easy-going and gentle, but he is also an out-and-out pure Yang Palace disciple.The first time Gu Xiaochen spoke coldly to her, it was difficult for her to get close to this person.But the figure that fell on her window sill that night made her want to get closer again.With Wen Zhuo in front, Nian Jin knew very well that he was powerless as if he had lost his attachment.

Chao Qi, who was riding alone behind, slowly caught up, looked at the two of them who were lost in thought, and asked, "Can we really get to Yangzhou today if we're so wobbly?"

Gu Xiaochen regained his composure instantly, let out a sigh of relief, put away the reins, the good horse raised its hooves, and walked away.At this moment, Nian Jin realized what she was doing just now, and the tips of her ears turned red, revealing what was on her mind.

"Hey!!! Wait for me!!!" Chao Qi was caught off guard by Gu Xiaochen's sudden acceleration, and took a long time to catch up with his whip.

At this time, two horses walked out from the woods on both sides, and it was Wen Zhuo and Qin Shuwang immediately.

"I still don't understand why I followed them. Didn't that Gu Xiaochen want to take you back to Chunyang Palace?" Qin Shuwang looked at Wen Zhuo. "I have something important to do." Wen Zhuo was still calm and smiling.Qin Shuwang snorted disdainfully, controlled the horse and walked side by side with Wen Zhuo.

Even though the road from Baling to Yangzhou is not spacious, it is still considered smooth and not as bumpy as before. Nian Jin was grateful for the rare good situation when he felt a relatively violent bump. Although he didn't cry out, his fingers had already been clenched Gu Xiaochen's lapel.Gu Xiaochen glanced at Nian Jin who was obviously frightened, and a smile slipped across his eyes.

"Finally arrived in Yangzhou!!!" Chao Qi cheered, flicked his whip, pinched the horse's belly, surpassed Gu Xiaochen and rushed forward.

Looking through the trees on the side of the road, you can see Yangzhou City in the distance. The yearning in Nian Jin's eyes is not concealed. It’s been a long time.” What Nian Jin blurted out surprised her a bit, coughed unnaturally, and said, “I only went to Chang’an when I was young, and everyone said that Yangzhou is prosperous, so I’ve always wanted to visit Yangzhou.” “Naturally. It's time to take a look." Gu Xiaochen's answer made people confused, how natural is this?Nian Jin pursed his lips and said nothing.

I have been living with my brothers and sisters in Wanhua Valley before, and I have never been separated for so long like this time.So when Jinyuan saw Shang Ming and Yu Susu sitting in the teahouse from a distance, he suddenly felt a kind of longing like three autumns away.

Yu Susu was still sharp-eyed, and saw Nian Jin and the others at a glance, and immediately stood up, Shang Ming was startled, and just as she was about to blame, she noticed Nian Jin approaching there.

Gu Xiaochen got off the horse, and then helped Nian Jin down.Chao Qi is impatient, so he ran to Nian Jin and asked, "Hey Nian Jin, do you know them?" Those who love this junior sister are a little worried when they see her tired face. "I've been taking the medicine, and there's no danger on the way." Nian Jin smiled, and Chao Qi, who was beside her, blinked and watched Shang Ming remain motionless. "Who is this?" Shang Ming asked a little uncomfortable with the eyes of this foreign girl. "This is Chao Qi from the Five Poison Sect, who is good at Gu, and can relieve Nian girl from Gu." Gu Xiaochen replied standing behind Nian Jin. "The thing on Nian Jin... is really a Gu?" "Mr. Shang, did you have some news along the way?" "Where's Master?" Gu Xiaochen and Nian Jin are not focusing on the same thing at all...

In the end, the four of them still sat in the teahouse, Shang Ming and Gu Xiaochen exchanged the news they got along the way, Yu Susu and Nian Jin talked about Lin Chengyuan, and Chao Qi had already gone for a walk in Yangzhou City.

"A few days ago, a Taoist priest from Chunyang Palace came, hey! I got married with Master when I came up!" Fighting with Master?Could it be that Taoist Mu likes to use tricks to greet the opposite party? "No, but I finally got to know Master's hand-to-flower technique, which is really good, but the Taoist priest of Chunyang Palace is also very good, the two of them passed only twenty moves before Master stopped. ""Why?" "That long sword rested on Master's neck before it was unsheathed, hahahahahaha!!!" For a while, Nian Jin wanted to ask, why is Master so happy when he loses you? Is it from our teacher? ! !

"That must be Senior Mu Xi Huai Mu."

"Eh? You know him? Master did call him Mu Xihuai."

"Well, we met in Baling before. Senior Mu is Gu... Daoist Gu's uncle."

"So that's how it is. Master and Senior Namu just went to the pier to find a boat."

"Why are you looking for a boat?"

"Because we're going to Kou Island~"

"Master, Senior Mu."

The three stood up and saluted.

"Uncle, Senior Lin."

Gu Xiaochen also saluted.

"This is Taoist Master Mu Xihuai, Chunyang. You should have met Niannian." Lin Chengyuan turned sideways to let Mu Xihuai behind him introduce to Nian Jin. "I've seen Senior Mu." Mu Xihuai nodded without saying anything.

"Master, have you found the boat?" Shang Ming asked. "This matter has been settled, we can set off, and we should spend the night on the boat tonight." Lin Chengyuan rarely hesitated, and made a decisive decision immediately.

"Where is Kou Island?" Nian Jin didn't know much about Kou Island, but only mentioned it in the book. "That's the place to go to Japan." Gu Xiaochen replied. "Dongying?" "The most important thing is that there is the detoxification method we want." Lin Chengyuan explained the reason, but Nian Jin was a little surprised.

I thought the day of detoxification was far away, but now I suddenly heard that the detoxification was close at hand, as if it was only one step away, it was unbelievable for a while.

"Detoxification..." "To be precise, it's detoxification." Lin Chengyuan sighed and said, "Niannian, we already know, so we can't wait any longer."

"Nian Jin understands." Nian Jin lowered his eyes, and his tone was unexpectedly calm.

Gu Xiaochen stared at Nian Jin without saying a word, and finally lifted his saber and left the cabin.

The tide gives rise to the bright moon, Kou Island is in front.
