Cheng Guogongfu.
"My lord, this is the situation." The butler had finished the report.
"I know, let's go down."
Duke Cheng Guo waved his hand.
Seeing the housekeeper going down, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the back of the mansion.
Walking through the rockery winding garden, crossing an elegant wooden bridge, and passing an octagonal pavilion in the center of Bihu Lake, this area is already a restricted area of the Duke's Mansion, and it is also the third level besides the outer and inner gates. When he opened the door, there was a man sitting in the pavilion who "looked young, but his expression looked extremely vicissitudes of life."
Cheng Guogong said: "I have met my ancestor, and the Su family's investigation has already found its whereabouts. This afternoon in front of the Ba Dao Gate of Donghai City, a young man named Feng Nanbei used the Silver Dragon Shadow. He used the knife, eighteen About years old."
The man said: "Are you sure it's correct?"
"Many people see it, and it can't be wrong."
"Feng Nanbei, surnamed Feng, with a knife..." The man murmured a few times, "I understand."
"Do we need to send someone to fetch him?"
"No, I'll go and see for myself."
…
…
Three days later.
In front of the Ba Dao Gate.
There was a huge crowd, with three floors inside and three floors outside.
Xia Ji faced off against the Earth King, who was ranked tenth on the Heavenly Ranking. In this confrontation, he still managed to make up for the time, and then slashed out the clear silhouette of the silver dragon, directly defeating the Earth King.
Shocked shouts and shouts immediately broke out.
Xia Ji didn't think anything of it. He put away his knife and silently looked for "possible Su family members".
Suddenly, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a man in the crowd. The man looked young, but he didn't look young at all.
The two people's eyes "accidentally" touched, and the man smiled at him, and then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
When Xia Ji returned, someone dressed as an attendant came to invite him.
"My master invites you to speak to me."
Xia Ji knew who the "master" was, so he followed the attendant.
Guan Chun subconsciously followed and took a step, but the attendant reminded: "Only Mr. Feng is invited."
Guan Chun had a look of astonishment on her face. She bit her lip and her eyelashes covered her eyes, but her eyes were slightly inexplicably depressed. She had a woman's intuition and always felt that Feng Nanbei might not come back once he left. .
And when he leaves like this, he and he will be completely in two different worlds...
From now on we can no longer drink or chat together.
But what can she do
There are countless heroes in the world, including rich young heroes and powerful young men who have been pursuing her for a long time and have liked her for a long time, but she still can't look down on her no matter how long she takes.
It was really a wonderful thing to have a heartbeat at a glance. She used to think it was ridiculous, until the absurdity appeared in herself.
She is very confident in herself because she knows that she is beautiful. If she falls in love with someone, then that person should also be in love with her, right
Until now…
She discovered that this was just wishful thinking on her part.
Guan Chun forced a smile, looked at the young man who still smelled of alcohol, and said softly: "Brother Feng, go ahead."
Xia Ji was only thinking about the Su family's affairs, so he didn't consider the woman's thoughts. He said indifferently: "Okay."
After saying that, he was ready to leave.
Guan Chun suddenly said again: "Brother Feng... can you..."
Xia Ji turned his head and saw the girl's smile.
"Forget it, it's nothing. Brother Feng, go ahead... Jianghu is dangerous, you... take care of yourself and don't trust others easily."
"You value it too."
After Xia Ji said these words, he followed the attendant away. Guan Chun looked at the back of the person who was going away, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed down.
Guan Sun sighed softly and patted his sister on the shoulder, "He is no longer from the same world as us. The opponent I worked hard to defeat day and night was defeated by his sword.
I can see that he is a man of temperament, and he has owed us wine money these days, so today he used the knife very hard, seriously injuring the King of Earth, which can be considered as revenge for us and repayment of our wine money. "
"elder brother… "
"He's done with us."
"I don't know why. He's obviously not romantic at all. He doesn't understand women's thoughts at all. He just drinks and is in a daze. I really don't know why..."
"Maybe this will be a legend in the future. It's just that he met us in his first step into this world."
Guan Chun sighed softly, and when he looked again, the back figure was completely gone.
"It's settled here, let's go to the south."
Guan Chun asked: "Legend... doesn't he need someone to accompany him?"
Guan Sheng said: "If at this time he has proved his legendary way, is tired of this world, and is ready to settle down, he needs someone to accompany him, but now... the world has just opened the door to him, and he Will it be stable
Xiaochun, you didn't meet the wrong person. Brother Feng is a sweetheart and a very good man, but you met him too early. "
…
…
King's Tower, top floor.
Xia Ji opened the door.
The man who had looked at him in the hall smiled and invited: "Master Feng, come in and sit down."
There was a man with a calm beard beside him and said, "I'll get out of the way."
"Marquis Xinting, thank you."
"As a friendship between you and me, I can give you this tower, no matter how polite you are."
The bearded man was the legend of Ba Daomen. He had already left at this time, leaving the top of the tallest tower in Donghai City to the two of them.
Xia Ji sat across from the man.
The man took out a square of dragon-shaped white jade from his arms and placed it in his hand, asking, "Do you have this?"
Xia Ji deliberately showed a look of surprise, "Why do you have one too?"
The man smiled.
Xia Ji then took out a similar jade pendant.
The man reached out and touched it. It was true. He nodded and said, "You and I may be from the same family."
Xia Ji naturally showed doubts.
The man didn't take it seriously. He had already prepared a clear water jade porcelain plate, and then without any pretense, he just lucked out. A drop of blood oozed out from his finger and fell on the southernmost part of the jade porcelain plate. The blood condensed in the clear water and did not disperse. Be still.
The man made an invitation gesture and said, "Come here."
Xia Ji had already tried it, so he didn't panic. His fingertips hung at the northern end of the jade porcelain plate.
Tick tock.
The blood drops falling into the north also remained motionless.
Immediately, the two drops of blood seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force and began to move. Then they gathered together in the center and completely merged into a large bright red drop of blood.
The man looked satisfied and laughed loudly, "Mr. Feng's surname is not Feng, but Su. Your name should be Su Nanbei. My name is Huang Wucheng, and I am from the Chengguo Duke's mansion."
Xia Ji was overjoyed and found it.
But he deliberately showed doubts: "Su?"
Huang Wucheng said: "It's a long story. Please follow me back to the Huang Mansion first. The family is recruiting children to come back these days. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The cultivation resources in the family are many times better than those in the outside world. You are It’s just in time.”
The Su family recruits their children back
Isn't this a coincidence
Xia Ji was confused and asked directly: "Why does the family want to recruit people back?"
Huang Wucheng said: "It is said that at this moment, when the calamity is about to start, but there is a big enemy outside, the family issued such a secret order in order to avoid the calamity and to avoid the enemy."
"I have heard about the killing and robbery, but the big enemy... what kind of big enemy is it?" Xia Ji was surprised. The water in this world is so deep. He never thought that there would be people who could check and balance the five great families.
Huang Wucheng said: "I don't know who the enemy is. Let's go, Bei Nan. In addition to you, I also need to find some more children of the family who have been left behind."
At this time, he had completely confirmed the identity of the boy in front of him.
In fact, there are not too few people with the blood of the Su family in this land, but only those with dragon jade can be regarded as "disciples who are qualified to enter the family and be recognized", and the rest are ignored.
Xia Ji said: "I still have an unfinished battle."
Huang Wucheng said: "No. 1 on the Heavenly Ranking, and the Marquis of Xinting?"
Xia Ji nodded, he needed to perform "just out of the world, eager to make a name for himself, hoping to prove his youthful nature".
Huang Wucheng stood up with a smile and walked to the window, beckoning: "Nan Bei, come here."
Xia Ji walked to his side and looked outside.
Huang Wucheng pointed to a large lake in the heart of Donghai City. The lake was blue, like a huge and flawless emerald heart, reflecting clouds, flowers, grass and birds. There were also some sightseeing boats on it, and there were even three or two chatting and laughing with each other by the lake. The smiling men and women were spectacular.
"The name of this lake is Tianxin Lake, which means the center of the sky. Sitting there and looking at all directions, it can be said to be extremely domineering."
Then, Huang Wucheng turned to the east window.
"And here... is the sea."
Looking from afar, I can see a vast expanse of deep blue in the distance. The vast and boundless sea water is like a sleeping cosmic dragon, rising and falling slowly. The scorching sun is shining in the sky, which is unknown to hundreds of millions or billions. The land is as big as a mile, but it will eventually sink under the horizon of such a sea. The morning and evening tides, just one huge wave, may cross the original Tianxin Lake.
Compared to the sea, the lake is so small.
Huang Wucheng said: "This river and lake is a lake after all, and the aristocratic family is the sea. Why do the north and the south have to compete for the first place in this small lake? Just go with me."
…
…
Cheng Guogongfu.
Xia Ji was arranged to live in an independent wing in a large courtyard.
He was able to set up a total of seven "transit stations". The first one was set up in the secret training room in the palace harem, and the second one he planned to set up in the Su family. The Chengguo Duke's mansion was just a temporary place for him to stay.
Late at night, the sound of the piano sounded, drifting like the wind, but it concealed a sadness as thin as a gauze, like weeping and complaining, feeling lonely and helpless. The sound of the piano gently drowned the flowers and trees, and flooded the entire mansion. One can't help but wonder what kind of beauty the person playing the piano must be in such charming moonlight.
Xia Ji couldn't help it, he was not curious.
So, he calmed down, took out the agarwood and carving knife from his arms, and continued to carve the rosary...
Don’t waste the extra energy every day. More is better. The more magic weapons you have, the stronger your eleven realms can be. If eighteen “Three Thousand Worlds Palm Buddha Kingdoms” are suppressed in an instant, the picture should be beautiful. .
Sculpting has become his daily routine.
Every time at this time, he would become calm, and his heart would be extremely peaceful, just like the peace of mind that "when he played a strategy game in his previous life, he broke out in the base, but no one knew about it."
Second night…
The piano sounded again.
Xia Ji went to read during the day and collected skill beads all at once. At night, he started carving rosary beads. After carving rosary beads, he went to drink.
At first he just played the image of a prodigal son, but after playing the role for so long, he suddenly fell in love with this kind of life, wanton, careless, unfettered, and happy.
The third day…
Huang Wucheng brought back a young man from abroad. The young man's name was Xin Wangshu. Apparently, he was also a left-behind child of the Su family. He had an unworldly temperament and was vaguely Taoist.
At night, the sound of the piano sounds.
When Xin Wangshu heard the sound of the piano, he left the courtyard gate and came to the pavilion by the lake.
In the pavilion, a sweet and charming figure was stroking the strings of the piano.
Xin Wangshu closed his eyes and listened. He was also someone who knew the elegance of music, and being recalled by the hidden mysterious family made his mood even higher. He only felt that he might have become the protagonist of this fate. At this time, he Commentary: "Like the continuous spring rain, it can't hide all my sorrows."
The beautiful figure in the pavilion continued to play the piano.
Xin Wangshu said calmly: "It's like watching a pair of partridges flying on a screen. Outside the window is the twilight autumn scenery. There are endless sorrows and thoughts, and no one can express the sadness."
Qianying in the pavilion changed several playing methods in succession.
Xin Wangshu came one by one.
Finally, the beautiful figure stopped moving, stood up and said, "Huang Yan has met Mr. Xin."
Xin Wangshu said: "Could it be the fourth young lady of Duke Chengguo's mansion?"
"Exactly."
"When I listen to Miss's piano music, I feel that there is infinite sadness hidden in it. Does Miss have something on her mind?"
Huang Yan sighed softly, "It's better not to say anything."
Then, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Huang Yan was walking along the lakeside. In a small pavilion by the lake, there were actually two people sitting in the pavilion.
One is his eldest brother Huang Siren,
She knew her eldest brother's stupidity. At the poetry meeting, when others were reciting poems and making mistakes, he was worried about the sun setting, so he got under the table. On weekdays, he was not popular with women, so he always lingered in the fireworks alley, and A few days ago, my father asked someone to help him marry the ninth princess of the royal family, but the ninth princess refused directly, so now he has to marry the seventh prince of the royal family himself.
Therefore, Huang Yan became angry when she saw this eldest brother. If you were more sensible and handsome, maybe the princess would marry you. What would I do? I heard that the Shenwu King was extremely terrifying with three heads and six arms. I had no feelings for him and it was impossible to sit together.
There is another person who is the first mysterious guest to stay in the mansion in recent days - Feng Nanbei. This Feng Nanbei stole the show in front of Ba Dao Gate and even sang a poem that is now widely known and circulated in the world. She has memorized it. , I played the piano for three days, and he didn't even look at me. He was really a man who didn't know how to be charming.
How could these two people talk together
She thought for a while, then deviated from the original path, walked over, and said in a loud voice: "The world's turmoil has surpassed my generation, and the years have rushed me as soon as I entered the world. In the chat and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, I can't bear the intoxication of life. Mr. Feng is talented and talented. Zhuo Jue, with his beautiful clothes and angry horses, and his pleasure in the world, why are you chatting with my unlearned brother tonight?"
No one paid any attention to her.
Xia Ji pointed to the sky and said, "I have counted the stars here. There are twenty-eight thousand, four hundred and thirty-seven in total."
Huang Siren didn't believe it: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, count them yourself. Once you count these stars, they won't dare to fall."
"Really?" Huang Siren's eyes showed ecstasy, "Then I have to count quickly. Thank you for your life-saving grace."
So, he started to look up at the southern sky and started counting one after another.
Huang Yan frowned, waited for a while, then walked into the pavilion, sat next to the two of them, held her chin and shouted: "Master Feng?"
Before Xia Ji could say anything, Huang Siren had already yelled: "Are you annoyed? Are you annoyed? I just counted nine hundred and thirty-two. When you came, everything was messed up. I have to count again. Dad Didn’t I ask you to go to the imperial capital? You should have gone earlier, why are you still staying at home? I’m so annoyed!”
Huang Yan:…
