"Oh..." she said, "What about master...?"

"It's said that he is a master, but he has never performed the apprenticeship ceremony." Twenty-seven said, "After all, it is different from other sects."

Ordinary sects inherit martial arts, develop and grow, perform the ceremony of apprenticeship, and accept disciples.

All the children in the Palace of Hell are bought.

Rigorous training is to become labor and consumables. The one who teaches Kung Fu is more appropriately called the instructor than the master.

Some children cannot leave school at all. Those who are turned into handymen or housekeepers are relatively lucky. Some didn't survive at all.

There is no such thing as a partner after graduation.

If you have a good relationship with someone and say hello with a smile today, you don’t know whether that person will be there tomorrow. Who can tell when the day when the blade of a knife licks blood will break when I go on a mission

The relationship between people is relatively indifferent. If we can call each other by numbers and nod to each other when we meet, it is considered a good relationship.

"My full name is actually Bingwu Twenty-Seven. I left the army in the year of Bingwu and officially entered the palace establishment." He said, "But among the people who were registered later, there was no one with the same number as me, so I could just call him I’ll be fine if I’m twenty-seven.”

Twenty-seven asked: "Then the law has no control over your affairs?"

Twenty-seven paused and asked her softly: "Ruan Qing, do you need me to help you get revenge?" "Huh?" Ruan Qing didn't understand, "Revenge for what?"

Ruan Qing said helplessly: "My matter is not at the legal level, it is just an emotional matter."

After a long while, she let out a long breath.

She even said: "It can be said that he is very good. Really, a very good person."

Twenty-seven's chuckle came again in the dimness.

He asked: "Is that man bad? Do you despise him?"

"Twenty-seven, just stay here. If you have time to go through the tunnel, you won't go back." She said, "You won't die here, really."

Twenty-seven then added very naturally: "Then you like him?"

"The average life span here is about seventy or eighty years, which is much longer than your time. Just live a good life and live like an old man." "Don't worry about money. I'll help you. Even if you can't find it in the future. It’s okay to go to work, you can still work with me, I can pay you, really.”

That’s it, Twenty-seven understands.

The next moment, Ruan Qing said: "Hey, what should I do? No need for that, no need. Don't think nonsense. We don't have so much hatred for killing our fathers or killing our families here. It's different from your time. There aren’t that many people crying for revenge. There are laws for everything.”

Twenty-seven was stunned.

Could it be that he is selling his daughter for glory

This ancient man's understanding of many things is out of touch with modern society, so don't get distracted by thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Qing said: "He is quite good."

But in this era, women have all gone to school and are learned, and they all earn their own money and live without relying on their parents. After all, they probably won't obey their parents' arrangements as obediently as they did in the past.

Ah, have we already reached the stage of discussing marriage? Fortunately, fortunately, she definitely didn’t get married.

Ruan Qing rolled his eyes: "How can Zhao Hao compare with him? Zhao Hao is just a child. Apart from being young and having a good waist, there is nothing that can compare with him."

"There is a one-armed old handyman in the door, a senior who retired from injury. He once told me that it is because at that age, freedom is not far away, people are impetuous, and they are prone to danger. Twenty-eighty-nine is A hurdle."

Ruan Qing said: "Zhao Hao and I just want each other for what we need, and we can't say we like each other."

He had to listen carefully to see what Ruan Qing disliked about that person, and he had to avoid it carefully.

Having said this, it will be impossible to sleep for a while. Ruan Qing also sat up against the bedside and turned on the lamp.

He remained calm and asked, "In that case, why did you choose Zhao Hao over him? Do you like Zhao Hao more?"

"Many people have the hope of leaving, but often do not live to that age. There are many who are in their twenties or nineties."

Twenty-seven felt a sense of crisis arise, and asked tentatively: "How about compared with Zhao Hao...?"

Twenty-seven carefully considered his words: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but you were talking on the phone a bit loudly in the room. I heard you say 'join your biological parents to plot against you'..."

"Okay." He agreed very happily and easily.

Especially a woman as fierce as Ruan Qing.

Alarm bells rang in Twenty-Seven's heart.

Relaxation is the tone of his and Ruan Qing's daily interactions. Both he and she like this comfortable feeling.

Ruan Qing was suddenly silent for a moment.

"That's right. Although society has progressed a lot now compared to your time, some things still haven't changed." Ruan Qing tried to explain, "For example, parents hope that their children will get married and have children. Especially parents of girls. When a girl reaches a certain age, At this age, they will become particularly anxious. At this time, if a man they think is good wants to marry their daughter, they will try their best to facilitate it. "

"I was almost reaching this threshold, and something happened to me. But I was lucky enough to survive. I came here and met you."

"My performance has always been very good and I have earned enough money for the palace. But according to the rules, I cannot leave until I am thirty."

Ruan Qing listened in the darkness, feeling that the real life of Twenty-Seven in another time and space was depressing.

Ruan Qing was silent for a while. Then he raised his head and pressed the back of his head against the wall, looking at the ceiling for a while.

Ruan Qing also smiled. Her laughter was soft but close to her ears.

In the past, it would have been normal for blind marriages and marriages to be arranged by parents.

"I can't say I don't like him. If I didn't like him, I wouldn't be able to talk about marriage with him," she said.

It seems like a quick remark, but it is actually the most crucial sentence.

In the dimness, he saw Twenty-seven sitting up on his knees and questioning: "If it's a relationship thing, why are your biological parents involved in it? Are you joining forces with the other party?"

Twenty-seven is lucky.

Ruan Qing went on to say, "But if the love you are talking about refers to the kind of love that comes from the heart when you are in love, then it is different. People who have really loved others will know the difference very well. "

Twenty-seven understood, his expression changed slightly, and he hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Qing said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Ruan Qing is impatient when others speak inappropriately.

Twenty-seven said carefully: "That story... is it true?" "Huh?" Ruan Qing was stunned and didn't follow his thoughts, "What story?"

"It's the one you just told me about, the one with ups and downs." Qi Aai asked in the 27th issue, "Is the story about the prince of the Hou family true?"

It doesn't seem right. At the end of the story, the heroine gave birth to the child of the fake prince. Ruan Qing had no children.

In fact, a desperado like him doesn't care about being a father, he can also treat him as his own son...

Ruan Qing found that he, a modern person, was defeated by the brain power of an ancient person. He was really convinced!

"What are you thinking about?" She was so angry, "I told you that it was a story I wrote when I was in junior high school!"

"No, what are you thinking about? Tell me, why did you have this sudden thought?" she asked.

Twenty-seven coughed and said, "I heard what you said just now, it seems that I have been in love with someone before, but it's not that person..."

Ruan Qing rolled his eyes: "What's wrong? Do you think it's your ancient times? Blind marriage, mute marriage, arranged marriage? Stay with one person for the rest of your life?"

Twenty-seven hurriedly argued: "Where we live, widows can remarry."

Look, look, a widow is extremely "enlightened" if she can remarry. Ruan Qing was speechless.

Twenty-seven asked carefully: "Since he is not the prince, then who is he?"

Ruan Qing looked at him sideways.

Twenty-seven said: "If you don't want to say it, I won't say it."

"A killer, you're quite a gossip." Ruan Qing complained, and after finishing the complaint, he added, "There's nothing I can't say."

"We here don't think it's something shameful like you did in ancient times. If you have loved, you have loved, and if you don't love, you don't love anymore. It's no big deal."

"Especially for someone like me, who is not a big beauty but also a little beauty. I have never lacked people to chase me. It is impossible for me to have no love experience."

And the quality of each of her experiences is not bad.

Even Zhao Hao, although he is a bit silly, but his looks and figure are really good.

Ruan Qing is a person who knows how to enjoy.

"Yes, yes." Twenty-seven nodded repeatedly, "I can probably understand it from watching TV series. Men and women don't pay much attention to their parents' orders and matchmakers. They all find someone to talk to. Don't worry, I Not that pedantic moralist."

Twenty-seven's profession is to kill people with no more than a nod. In fact, it was a special profession in ancient times and was not among ordinary people.

Even in ancient times, the ethics, morals, and logic in his head were different from ordinary people.

Therefore, if an ancient Taoist gentleman traveled through time, he would probably be furious just because of the ethos of these men and women. But when Twenty-Seven comes through, he can stay calm, accept it calmly, and integrate very quickly.

Ruan Qing is most satisfied with this aspect of Twenty-Seven. He is brave and willing to accept new ideas and new things.

She leaned her head back: "As for me, I almost got married twice. Of course, we didn't get married in the end."

"The first time was my boyfriend in college. I was in college for four years and almost three years after graduation. In total, we were in love for seven years."

"Everything was wonderful when I was in school."

"He is the most handsome boy in our department. In our school, the best-looking boys are called grass, and the most beautiful girls are called flowers. The most handsome boys and girls in the same department are called flowers. He is our Tie grass."

Twenty-seven interrupted at the right time and said with a smile, "Then you must be a flower."

The killer's knife is very sharp, but the killer's mouth can be very sweet.

Ruan Qing accepted the compliment and said, "You really think highly of me. There are many people who are prettier than me. I didn't get the beauty, I only got the class beauty."

"Back then, the flowers chased the grass, and the grass chased me. In the end, the two of us were together."

"After four years of college, I have been a perfect boyfriend. No one doesn't envy us."

"Oh, you may not understand. I don't believe in love anymore. If you want to fall in love, you can only fall in love on campus. Only on campus, and you have to be lucky, can you talk about true, simple and pure love. .

"Once you leave campus, you will never be there again."

"As soon as you enter society, no matter how perfect a good boyfriend you are, your whole life will be ruined."

"I ran a long-distance race with him for seven years. When I felt that victory was in sight, his former roommate sent me an audio message."

"His roommate confessed to me before, but I refused, but I didn't want to upset the two of them in the same dormitory, so I didn't tell him. So he never knew that his roommate liked me."

"That audio was secretly recorded by my roommate. After listening to it, I woke up from those dreams about love."

In the audio, Xicao was slightly drunk, started to drift, and spoke wildly.

[Marrying Ruan Qing will help my whole family escape poverty.]

[You know how good Ruan Qing’s family is! The house we live in now, do you think we rented it? Fool, Ruan Qing’s family bought that for her before she graduated from university. The house on the edge of the Third Ring Road! Calculate the price!]

[I have been waiting for this day for too long!]

[From the moment I entered university, I knew that Ruan Qing’s family was well off.]

[For so many years I have been humble and small, how easy is it!]

[She is an only child, and she will be mine from now on! Immediately, after receiving the certificate, I turned over!]

It had been almost three years since graduation, and Ruan Qing's career was booming. Xicao proposed and she agreed, saying that she could settle the matter after meeting both parents.

She never expected that when the outer cover of love was taken off, it would be so skinny and realistic underneath.

She had always felt that she was quite low-key and never did anything to show off her wealth. She was so naive.

Looking back later, I realized that some things cannot be hidden. Whether you have money or not, everything is revealed in food, clothing, housing, and transportation. How can you not tell it

Her family is actually not a wealthy family, they are just ordinary small private business owners at the town level. Of course, the net worth of local small private business owners is far beyond that of ordinary urban white-collar workers.

Not to mention that Xicao was born in a small town and his family was poor.
