Little Ancestor [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

Knowing that Ximen Chuuxue thought so, Li Jia hesitated for a moment, and instead of taking the money, she looked up at him and said seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Ximen."

Ximen Chuuxue: "No need." It seems to be useful?

Li Jia tried hard to hold back her laughter, led the horse and walked over, and asked, "Then are we going to Taiyuan together now?"

"It's up to you." He acted meaninglessly.

"Then let's go together." Li Jia felt that with his personality, being able to say this sentence meant agreeing to the proposal.

At the same time, Duan Zhixing, who was a step behind Li Jia to react, also walked over.

Following Li Jia's words, he thanked Ximen Chuuxue, and when he was about to pay back the money, Li Jia grabbed his sleeve.

Duan Zhixing: "?" Why did my aunt stop me?

Li Jia blinked at him, didn't explain anything, just said: "Don't talk too much, everything is up to me."

The Prince of Dali has always followed the rules and respected etiquette, and he had no choice but to obey when he heard his elders speak like this.

After that, the three of them got on their horses and prepared to go to Taiyuan.

On the way, Li Jia thought about using the sentry post to summon people, so she asked Duan Zhixing, "By the way, is it convenient for me to call people where you live?"

Duan Zhixing's tone was hesitant: "I live in a post station on the outskirts of the city."

"That's inconvenient." Although it was her first time going down the mountain, she already knew the size of the post stations between the cities after walking all the way from outside the pass, "It seems that we still need to find another convenient place. "

Duan Zhixing's understanding of Guan Shao and the old department of Vulture Palace was limited, so he humbly asked for advice after hearing the words: "What kind of place does my aunt want to find?"

Li Jia tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then made a request, and said, "Be more open, it's best that no outsiders can approach at will."

When Duan Zhixing heard it, isn't this the mountain where Wanmei Villa is located?

Within a radius of ten miles, there is only his family, and no one else dares to approach and set foot in it on weekdays.The most coincidental thing is that the master is beside them now, and like them, he has the plan to catch the Plum Blossom Thief and punish him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Ximen Chuuxue, thinking that he would discuss it with this young swordsman who was quick and decisive.

But before he could finish the draft, Ximen Chuuxue had already opened his mouth.

Ximen Chuuxue said: "It's better to go to Wanmei Villa."

Li Jia already knew from the few words Duan Zhixing muttered in his heart that Wanmei Villa perfectly met his requirements, so of course he agreed immediately.

She nodded with a smile and said yes, and said: "Young Master Ximen is really a good person."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't make any expression very coldly, showing a posture of complete indifference.

But his heart was not as meaningless as he showed. When he heard Li Jia's words, he was puzzled for a while: Lu Xiaofeng often said that if a woman praises another person as a good person, it means rejection, but these two Didn't people refuse?

Li Jia: "..." Who the hell is this Lu Xiaofeng? !

After driving for half a day with such curiosity, the three of them finally arrived at Wanmei Villa.

Just like Duan Zhixing's description, Wanmei Villa is located on a mountain outside Taiyuan City. There are few people living around the foot of the mountain. It looks very cold, and its temperament is exactly the same as that of the owner Ximen Chuuxue.

The three of them rode up the mountain along the only uphill road, all the way to the mountainside, and finally saw the gate of Wanmei Villa.

When the master went out to kill people, the gate of the villa was naturally tightly closed, but when they got off the horse, the people inside seemed to hear the movement and immediately opened the door.

After the door opened, an old man in a blue cloth gown came out.

As soon as the old man saw Ximen Chuuxue, he quickly walked up to him, but his eyes parted and fell on Li Jia and Duan Zhixing who were beside him.

Li Jia suddenly had a premonition that she should hear the old man's voice in a while.

Sure enough, as soon as the other party stood still and hadn't greeted the owner, he began to mutter in his heart: Why did the owner bring back a girl like a fairy?Didn't he go out and kill the owner of the Evergreen Racecourse?I haven't seen him open his mind for so many years, he won't go out to kill someone but get enlightened instead?

If it weren't for the fear of scaring the old man who was over sixty at the first glance, Li Jia really wanted to tell him, you are overthinking, and your owner brought me back just to kill the Plum Blossom Pirates smoothly in the future!

"Vendor Master, you are back." After the slander was over, the old man finally opened his mouth, "Who are these two?"

"It's a guest." There was no difference between Ximen Chuuxue's answer and no answer.

Fortunately, the old man had probably gotten used to his owner's speaking style long ago, so he didn't think it was a big deal, so he nodded and continued: "Since there are guests today, I'll ask the kitchen to add some dishes later."

Ximen Chuuxue: "Yeah." After answering this, he strode across the threshold and entered the villa gate.

Li Jia and Duan Zhixing followed suit and followed immediately.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by green plum blossoms that are about to bloom. Its battle is not even inferior to the sea of ​​flowers in Rosemary Ice Valley, which is really worthy of the name of this place.

"There are really ten thousand plum trees here, right?" Li Jia was curious.

"Which one of the [-] plants can be planted?" The old man in Tsing Yi who followed in the next step answered her question, "There are about five or six thousand plants on the mountain and down the mountain, but now the flowering period is almost over, so it doesn't seem like there are so many. .”

Li Jia suddenly said: "So it is like this."

Duan Zhixing: "It can be counted in thousands, which is quite a lot."

The old man seemed very proud of this evaluation. He squinted his eyes and clicked his tongue before he got back to business: "Our owner is used to living in secluded places. It is rare for a guest to come to the house. I have to ask someone to clean the guest room first. Wait a moment."

Li Jia immediately waved her hand: "No, no, we don't live here, but we have to borrow Wanmei Villa for some things, so we came back with Mr. Ximen."

"Really?" When the old man in Tsing Yi said that, his tone was full of regret.

Li Jia just pretended not to understand the regret, smiled at him, then quickly caught up with Ximen Chuuxue, and asked him where he should go to call someone with a whistle.

Ximen Chuuxue thought for a while and said, "I'll take you to the back mountain."

The three of them went back and forth to the back mountain.

A larger plum grove was planted in the back mountain, with pink and green, patchwork. Even when the flowers fall, it looks very pleasing to the eye, so that Li Jia is a little embarrassed to use the whistle in such a beautiful place. In order to notify all the nearby old departments as much as possible, the pipe whistle was built in the direction of the harsh sound.

Afterwards, she took it out for a try, and found that it was harsher than expected, and she was quite frightened.

"We must ask Asu to send someone to improve it when we go back." She patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, it wasn't used in crowded places."

As the owner of the room, Ximen Chuuxue accepted the sound of the whistle well, and only asked how long it would take for those people to come after she finished using it.

Li Jia: "It shouldn't take more than half an hour?"

He was quite satisfied: "Not bad."

In the next half an hour, the three returned to the front yard to wait.

The housekeeper of Wanmei Villa, that is, the old man in green who came out to welcome Ximen Chuixue, prepared a table of tea and snacks for them in the green plum forest in front of the main hall.

Li Jia and Duan Zhixing felt that the other party was so enthusiastic that it was really hard to refuse, so they sat down at the stone table in the forest.

During the period, because Ximen Chuuxue was also present, the housekeeper kept quiet, but in fact, Brainstorm never stopped.

"The owner of the villa is actually accompanying us in person, so I think he values ​​these two guests very much, especially this girl..."

"Hey, she's so pretty, she looks like a good match for the owner!"

"But she seems to be more familiar with that young man in black? Oh, it's really worrying whether the owner can do it."

And so on, too numerous to mention.

Li Jia sat there and listened for half an hour, and she was still able to wait calmly. When the housekeeper began to silently calculate how many gifts he would have to prepare if Ximen Chuuxue really came to his senses, he couldn't hold back anymore.

She coughed, took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere in Merlin, and said, "This tea is not bad."

Although Duan Zhixing didn't know why she said such a sentence suddenly, the elder said that he still wanted to praise it, so he nodded and said: "Is this year's new tea? It's really good."

The butler smiled and nodded and said yes, and said: "If you two like it, that would be great. Our owner does not drink tea. In previous years, when people picked tea, they could only use it to make pastries."

He seemed to want to say a few more words to Li Jia, his body turned halfway, but at this moment, there was an unusual wind sound outside the Merlin.

There are many sunny days in Jindi in late spring, and today is no exception.

There was only one explanation for the sudden wind blowing and such an obvious commotion—someone was coming.

Li Jia and the three at the stone table reacted almost at the same time, and looked in that direction.

Because the time was almost half an hour past, Li Jia's first reaction was that the old department of Vulture Palace heard the whistle and went directly to Wanmei Villa without saying hello, and she was a little sorry.

She got up hurriedly and said to go over to see what was going on.

Ximen Fuxue: "No need, a friend of mine is here."

In fact, there was another sentence "This guy must have missed the right door again", but he didn't say it.

Li Jia: "..."

She looked intently at the source of the wind, and sure enough, she saw a young man in a red cloak speeding through the forest and galloping towards them.

"Hey, what day is it today? Has the sun come out from the west? You're not practicing sword here alone?" The young man's voice was clear, and the first thing he said was a joke full of familiarity.

But Ximen Chuuxue ignored this, and asked without raising his head: "What do you want to do this trip?"

"I came to see you, it must be something important." The young man swept all the way to the stone table and sat down on the last vacant seat unceremoniously. At the same time, his eyes wandered back and forth between Li Jia and Duan Zhixing , secretly sighed, to be able to see such a good-looking girl in Wanmei Villa is even more surprising than Ximen Chuuxue not practicing sword at the moment.

Li Jia: "..." So Ximen Chuuxue had never been in contact with any girls before?

"Say it directly." Ximen Chuuxue didn't seem too polite when facing this friend.

"There are two things." The boy paused, "Actually, there was only one thing, but there was another one on the way here. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Ximen Chuuxue's face remained unchanged: "Whatever."

The young man rubbed his nose, not surprised by his attitude at all, instead he laughed and said, "Let's talk about the original one first, I think you are more interested in that one."

"Didn't you always want to find Plum Blossom Pirates?" He said, "I learned something related to Plum Blossom Pirates yesterday."

"What?" Ximen Chuuxue raised his eyes immediately.

"Two days ago, Lin Xian'er, the most beautiful woman in the world, was on the tower of Baoding City, calling on the righteous people of all corners of the world to find the Plum Blossom Pirates together. She also said that she would marry whoever could find the Plum Blossom Pirates and order her to punish him." Speaking of this, his There was a hint of teasing in the tone, "With Lin Xian'er's words, I believe that all those who admire her in the martial arts world will do their best to find Plum Blossom Pirates."

Ximen Fuxue: "What about the other thing?"

The boy let out an 'ah' and said he wanted to ask you another thing.

"Have you made enemies with anyone?" He asked, "When I came, I saw five first-class martial arts masters coming to Wanmei Villa!"

When Ximen Chuuxue heard the words, he immediately looked at Li Jia, the meaning was obvious, it should be someone you summoned.

Li Jia: "So where are they now?"

The boy in the red cloak was stunned for a moment when he heard her speak suddenly, before he opened his mouth and replied, "Lying at the door."

Li Jia's eyes widened: "???" Lying down? !

"I asked them what they were doing up the mountain, but they refused to answer, so I fought with them and asked them to rest for a while," the boy explained.

"You..." Li Jia held his forehead, "They are the people I invited to help investigate the Plum Blossom Bandit!"

She couldn't sit still after she finished speaking, and after thinking for a while, she got up and ran towards the gate of the village.

Seeing this, the other three also followed through the Merlin.During the period, the boy in the cloak quietly asked Ximen Chuuxue: "Who is this girl?"

Ximen Chuuxue: "I met at Changqing Racecourse."

"Her martial arts seem to be very high." The voice of this sentence was very low.

"En." Ximen Chuuxue responded briefly, and silently added in his heart that the most powerful thing is not martial arts.

But only Li Jia could hear what he was saying.The young man was overwhelmed by Li Jia's appearance, and didn't know that Li Jia could read minds to a certain extent. After listening to his brief introduction, his thoughts inevitably wandered for a while.

So Li Jia heard this person sighing in his heart: Although she is beautiful, she can make Ximen say that her martial arts are very high.

At this moment, they had already reached the gate of the village. Li Jia simply stopped, looked back at him, and said word by word, "Really? Thank you so much."

Boy: "???" Huh? !

Ximen Chuuxue already understood it very well, not only reacted immediately, but also asked Li Jia with great interest: "What did Lu Xiaofeng think just now?"

Li Jia: "So he is the Lu Xiaofeng you have been talking about in your heart several times before?"

Lu Xiaofeng: Wait, why can't I understand what these two people are talking about?
