Located in the south of Yunde City, Suhuai Villa is also one of the royal palaces. It is not big but very delicate. The craftsmen who built it all came from the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the appearance of the house is not as rough as the north. The white walls and black tiles are carved with wooden windows. It looks quite graceful and young.
On this day and night, Nan Moxie and Duan Yao came back from the street, still wanting to go to that desolate courtyard, but they happened to meet Duan Baiyue by accident.
Duan Yao took two steps back decisively and hid behind her master.
Duan Baiyue frowned: "In the middle of the night, where are you going?"
Nan Moxie also frowned: "In the middle of the night, where are you going?"
Duan Baiyue said: "This is the way back to the dormitory."
"Then go quickly." Nan Moxie took the little apprentice's hand and walked back, "We have to go back and rest."
Duan Baiyue said: "Stop!"
Nan Moxie ran fast.
Duan Baiyue flew to stand in front of the two of them, her eyes narrowed: "Speak!"
Duan Yao quickly hugged her head.
Nan Moxie cleared his throat and confessed, "Go to that small courtyard to see."
"It's late, what are you going to do with that old senior?" Duan Baiyue was puzzled.
Duan Yao's eyes flickered.
Nan Moye said angrily, "Yao'er has been learning kung fu with him these past few nights."
Duan Baiyue was even more surprised: "Master can agree to learn kung fu?"
That of course disagrees. Nan Moxie tugged at the corner of his tattered clothes and said, "Well."
Duan Baiyue's eyes were suspicious.
Duan Yao explained: "It's not complicated kung fu if you only learn ten days."
"What's your name?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Nan Moye said nonsense: "Mingyue fingering."
"Pointing acupuncture points?" Duan Baiyue shook his head, "Well, if you want to learn, go to learn, it's rare that seniors are willing to teach. It's just that the day after tomorrow, you will move to Suhuai Villa, Master will you go with Yao'er?"
Nan Moxie was immediately embarrassed, the little apprentice was about to be robbed, and he naturally wanted to guard it all the time. But according to the pulse of the past few days, the golden silkworm line seems to be about to wake up. I don't know whether Lan Ji is a human or a ghost, and it is impossible to enlarge the apprentice alone in the villa. After thinking about it, I still said: "Yao'er stay here. North Palace, I will go with you to Suhuai Villa for my teacher."
Duan Yao immediately said: "I will protect my sister-in-law." Very well behaved.
Duan Baiyue patted his head and turned back to the bedroom.
Duan Yao breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Why don't you let brother know the truth?"
"There are too many things in my heart. If you can miss one, you can take one less." Nan Mo said evilly, "If you know that you are studying kung fu for him, I am afraid that you will not agree."
Duan Yao nodded obediently.
Nan Moxie took him and walked slowly along the path. He couldn't help but sigh again: "You will find a wife in the future, but you have to learn to be selfish, and don't be a lover again."
Duan Yao: "..."
Oh.
After another day, Duan Baiyue really brought people to live in Suhuai Mountain Villa. The news spread to Yunde City, and the people who didn't dare to go out in the first place wanted to stay at home from morning to night - after all, that But the king of the Southwest, the wolf has always been ambitious and ruthless, and I am not sure why he came this time, or it is better to stay away.
Nan Moxie strolled around and said, "This villa is really good, it's a good place to have fun."
Duan Baiyue picked up the teapot, and before he had time to order the servants to boil the water, Duan Nian came to report that it was Master Tao.
Nan Moye is gearing up.
Duan Baiyue said by the side: "If Master dares to appear, I will never see the meat and fishy again in half a month."
Nan Moye: "..."
Duan Baiyue added: "Maybe longer."
Nan Moye crouched on the ground.
Duan Baiyue tidied up her clothes, pushed the door out of the room.
Tao Rendeguo was really drinking tea in the hall, remembering that when the Liu Mansion rebelled, the other party had saved his life, but recently it has been quite calm, so his attitude was considered kind and friendly, so he stood up and bowed in salute: "King of the Southwest."
"Master Tao is very polite." Duan Baiyue joked, "As soon as the king arrived, the adults came to visit, but I really didn't even have time to drink tea."
"It is indeed rude to be in such a hurry." Tao Rende said, "It's just that the emperor has always been concerned about the King of Southwest China. He was afraid that the servants in this villa would not be well served, so he ordered me to come and take care of it earlier, so as not to slow down you."
"The scenery in this villa is quite good." Duan Baiyue smiled, "I just want to ask Master Taifu, I wonder when the emperor will summon this king?"
Tao Rende asked, "Why is the King of Southwest China doing this trip?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Send some herbs."
"If you just send the medicinal materials, you can give it to the old man." Tao Rende said, "The emperor has been in poor health recently, and the affairs of the court are complicated. If the king of the southwest wants to see the emperor, I am afraid that he will have to wait for a while."
Duan Baiyue said: "It's okay."
Tao Rende: "..."
no problem? !
Duan Baiyue continued: "It happens that there is nothing to do in the Southwest House recently, just take it as a tour of the mountains and waters."
Tao Rende's head throbbed faintly: "It's inappropriate to be so afraid."
"What's wrong with it?" Duan Baiyue laughed, "Jin Tai can stay in Wangcheng for more than a month, but this king can't stay in Yunde City for two more days?"
"The King of Goryeo came to Great Chu to pay tribute, and this time he stayed a little longer because he wanted to choose a consort for the princess." Tao Rende said, "It's not that I have nothing to do to play around."
Duan Baiyue said: "This king is here to deliver medicine. Jintai is only sending gold and silver, but no matter how much gold and silver, he can't buy half a herb in the southwest."
Tao Rende was a little hesitant. After all, this batch of herbs was what the Ninth Prince wanted, so... with a gentle and virtuous temperament, it's better not to provoke them, otherwise, it is not only himself who will have the headache, but also the emperor.
Duan Baiyue said: "Master Tao still has something to say?"
Tao Rende gave in: "The King of Southwest has a long journey, and he is tired after thinking about it. Let's rest early today."
Duan Baiyue nodded and sent him out of the hall.
Nan Moxie came out from behind while nibbling on the fruit, and said, "Does he really want to live in this villa?"
"If you are responsible for watching me, how can you live elsewhere." Duan Baiyue said, "This kind of straight-forward temperament has really remained unchanged for more than ten years."
Nan Moxie tutted: "I didn't even join the banquet."
Duan Baiyue said: "This official in the DPRK, before the situation is unknown, I am afraid that no one dares to eat at the same table with the people from the Southwest House."
Nanmo evilly said: "It makes me sad when I hear it."
Duan Baiyue didn't take it seriously: "It's more comfortable in this way." Otherwise, he would have to look at Mr. Tao for a meal, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
The sky was getting dark, and it was raining in the night. Duan Baiyue was leaning on the bed, not falling asleep with his arms on his back, but there was a slight noise outside, so he frowned slightly, got up and opened the door.
Chu Yuan held a Hanmei umbrella in his hand and looked at him and smiled in the rain.
"You..." Duan Baiyue was surprised at first, then followed with a smile, strode forward and hugged the person in his arms, his tone was a little helpless, "I said to take a good rest in the palace."
"Come here and see if Master Taifu is mad at you." There was some rain falling on Chu Yuan's shoulders, and the tip of his nose was cold.
Duan Baiyue took the umbrella in his hand and pulled him into the bedroom.
Nan Moxie was looking at it from the window next door, feeling quite relieved.
After so many years, the days in the future can finally see some light.
The servant quickly brought hot water, Chu Yuan soaked in the tub, his chin rested lazily on the wall of the tub: "What are you looking at?"
"Naturally, I'm looking at you." Duan Baiyue sat on the small bench, holding his cheeks in his hands.
Chu Yuan smiled: "Stupid."
Duan Baiyue said: "You don't let me go."
Chu Yuan thought for a while, then flicked a few drops of water with his hand: "Well, you're just not allowed to come here."
"Do you want to go back tomorrow?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan said: "Go back after dark, and talk to people the next morning."
"Alright." Duan Baiyue dragged the small bench and sat beside him, "Then I won't go out tomorrow, lest I meet that Master Tao."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone pushed the door and came in. Tao Rende asked in a loud voice from the courtyard, "Has the King of Southwest ever rested?"
Chu Yuan held his forehead.
Duan Baiyue twitched the corners of his mouth.
Chu Yuan motioned him to open the door with his eyes.
Duan Baiyue sighed and smiled calmly and went out: "Master Tao came late at night, and I don't know why?"
Tao Rende raised an oiled paper bag in his hand and said, "I was afraid that the King of Southwest would be hungry in the middle of the night, so I bought some food."
Duan Baiyue received it and said patiently, "Thank you."
"The old man will leave." Tao Rende's attitude was very respectful, and even if he wanted to beat him, he couldn't find a reason.
Duan Baiyue turned back to the house and put the package of chicken feet on the table.
Chu Yuan said: "It is estimated that you are afraid that you are planning to run around in the middle of the night, so you came here to check the room."
"I really can't think of a way to make him go back sooner?" Duan Baiyue said, "Let's not talk about me, if Lan Ji really comes, this Master Tao will be a big burden."
"Master Taifu is here for the sake of courtesy, and someone else will replace him tomorrow night." Chu Yuan said, "It's a master from Sun Moon Villa, named Gong Fei. He just came back to Wangcheng and has no official position, but he can still be at a critical moment. help."
Duan Baiyue took the big blanket on one side and said, "The water is going to be cold, come out."
Chu Yuan dodged to avoid his hand, and before Duan Baiyue could react, he was already standing aside in a robe.
Duan Baiyue paused, handed him the blanket, and turned to look at the window consciously.
Chu Yuan wiped his hair dry, and before he could change the undershirt he had taken, someone had already turned around and pulled him into his arms.
Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Presumptuous."
"This is called being arrogant." Duan Baiyue hugged him horizontally, "It's true that the emperor is not willing to do anything to me."
Chu Yuan wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed him with his eyes closed.
Duan Baiyue pressed the person on the bed, and his lips were not separated for a moment.
After waiting for so many years, once the taboo is broken, I just want to be together all the time. Ten days is fine, ten years is fine, a lifetime is better.
It was windy and rainy outside, Duan Baiyue was obsessed with looking at the person below him, his eyes slid over the heroic brows every inch, as if he wanted to burn the current situation into his heart. Chu Yuan put his hands on his chest, the honey-colored muscles under his palms were distinct, and some of the scars left in his early years were not ugly at all, but more powerful and beautiful.
"What are you thinking?" Duan Baiyue asked in a low voice.
"Southwest Mansion." Chu Yuan said, "I want to go and see."
"Don't wait for the future?" Duan Baiyue leaned over and hugged him, "Alright, when this matter is over, I will come to pick you up and head to the southwest."
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and smiled: "Well."
Duan Baiyue waved and swept off the bed tent, and the kiss became more and more inseparable. Chu Yuan raised his head slightly, his hands pressed against the pillow by him. The candles by the bedside flickered, brightening the color of the hibiscus spring night.
In the small courtyard of the palace, Duan Yao said, "The two moves tonight are no different from the two moves last night."
The old man said, "That's because your understanding is not enough."
Duan Yao frowned slightly.
"But don't worry." The old man said, "Practicing kung fu is about chance and coincidence. Some things cannot be forced."
Duan Yao nodded: "Master said the same thing, but if I can't figure it out, can I still solve the Fenxing chess game and save my brother?"
The old man said, "I can't tell."
Duan Yao sighed.
"Although I don't know how to read pictures, I also know that good people should have good lives, and the karma wheel should be unhappy." The old man said, "The King of Southwest looks like a person with evil intentions, and the number of fate will be good if you think about it. ."
That's right, Duan Yao thought, and my brother is still a lover, no matter how you look at it, he should live a hundred years.
The old man dipped some zongzi candy with his hands and licked it in his mouth.
Duan Yao advised: "Senior, don't eat it anymore, it should be broken after leaving it for so long. I'll go to the city and buy a pack."
The old man shook his head: "How much you can eat, good or bad, just think about it."
Seeing his desolate face, Duan Yao didn't know what to say. After a while, she asked tentatively, "Then, do you want me to visit that Aunt Feng secretly?"
The old man said, "Don't bother her, look at her once a year, and it's enough to know that she's living a good life."
Duan Yao said: "Yes."
The old man coughed while clutching his chest, forced himself to stand up, and tremblingly entered the inner room.
Duan Yao memorized the chess score and mental method again, and then got up and went back to his residence, but he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he jumped up and went to the Jinman Inn with the Cloud Splitting Saber.
Jing Liutian was meditating on the bed, opened his eyes after hearing the movement, and said unexpectedly, "Why is Duan Xiaowang here?"
"There is something I want to ask Master Jing." Duan Yao said.
Jing Liutian asked, "Does the little prince know that Feiluan Tower is not open for business every day?"
"I know I have to queue, but I don't want to." Duan Yao patted the poison on the table with a "slap", "I can exchange these for it?"
Jing Liutian glanced at it and said, "No."
Duan Yao insisted: "Okay."
Jing Liutian was amused: "Duan Xiaowangye, it would be difficult for a strong man to do this."
"I'm not a native of the Central Plains, so naturally I don't need to abide by the rules of the Central Plains." Duan Yao said, "I only ask one thing."
"Never mind." Jing Liutian said, "Little Prince, please speak."
"Is there anyone in this world who knows the secrets of Fenxing Bureau and Fenxing, and who is a martial artist who lives in anonymity and has a lover who can't be guarded?" Duan Yao asked.
"Being able to know the secrets of Fenxing and the Fenxing Bureau has something to do with Chaoya. There are many high-ranking people who hide their names in this world. As for the relationship between children, it is even more difficult to guess." Jing Liutian said, "Three things. Together, I really don't know who it is."
Duan Yao said: "Then this question is not accurate, I will ask another one."
Jing Liutian laughed: "Duan Xiaowang really deserves to be from the Southwest Mansion."
Duan Yao said: "I said, please don't disturb the old man."
Jing Liutian nodded: "Naturally, Feiluanlou's ethics are still there."
Duan Yao asked: "Decades ago, was there a woman in the rivers and lakes with the word 'phoenix' in her name?"
Jing Liutian said: "This word, there are more than a dozen at least."
"What about the bumpy love road?" Duan Yao chased after him.
Jing Liutian said: "Most of the women in the rivers and lakes have a difficult relationship, but speaking of which, Baitoufeng is the most difficult one."
Duan Yao pulled over the chair and sat beside him, her eyes twinkling: "I would like to hear the details."
"Why does Duan Xiaowang want to know this?" Jing Liutian was surprised.
Duan Yao thought to himself, the old senior seems to be terminally ill, and if he has to ignore it, he will probably not survive this winter, and he is stubborn and unwilling to see the doctor. Yep.
