At night, Master Lu and Gu Xiaoshun returned to the house with a cart of firewood.
"Why did you go for so long?" Nan Shi Niang walked to the door and helped the two carry firewood.
Master Lu hurriedly stopped her and said, "You leave it alone, I'll do it!"
"Just a few bundles of firewood." Nan Shi Niang didn't care.
"That can't let you move, right, Xiaoshun?" Master Lu knew that he couldn't beat Nan Shiniang, so he took Gu Xiaoshun as a rescuer.
"Yes, Shi Niang." Gu Xiaoshun jumped out of the carriage and took the firewood from Nan Shi Niang.
Nan Shi Niang glared at Master Lu.
Carrying the firewood, Gu Xiaoshun caught a glimpse of the red ying gun and the small back basket in the main room, and his eyes lit up: "Eh? Is my sister back?"
Nan Shi Niang smiled and said, "I'm back, playing chess with Mr. Meng in the backyard."
Everyone in the family knows Mr. Meng's surname, but no one associates him with the Six Kingdoms Chess Sage. After all, a person like the Six Nations Chess Sage is regarded as a guest of honor at the National Teacher's Hall.
Gu Xiaoshun was so excited that he wanted to put two chicken feathers in his head immediately, he hugged a bundle of firewood and rushed to the backyard: "Sister!"
Gu Jiao had already washed and put on dry clothes, her hair was half-dry and half-wet.
Hearing Gu Xiaoshun's voice, she raised her hand and pushed her disobedient hair behind her ear, then turned to look at Gu Xiaoshun: "Xiaoshun."
Gu Xiaoshun put down the firewood and came to her and looked her up and down: "Sister, why did you go out for so long? We are worried about you!"
Gu Jiao curled her lips: "There is a delay. The academy has taken so many days off. Is there anything wrong with you?"
Gu Xiaoshun shook his head: "Oh, it's okay, I said you were sick, they wanted to see you, but I stopped you."
"They?" Gu Jiao was confused.
"Master Wu, Mu Qingchen, Muchuan..." Gu Xiaoshun said more than 20 names in one breath, because he only knew these people, and there were many others that he couldn't name.
Gu Jiao: "No."
Is she so popular
"Okay, baby, wait a moment, my sister and I have finished playing this game of chess." Mr. Meng couldn't wait, he had an account book in his hand, and he played with Gu Yan for more than 20 times. The game is over, and the little baby has to accompany him back.
It happened that there was still firewood left to move, Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head and said, "Sister, I'll come to you later."
Gu Jiao: "Okay."
…
Gu Jiao came back safely, all the stones in the family's heart fell to the ground, Nan Shi Niang decided to make something delicious tomorrow morning.
But the star anise and fennel ran out, Nan Shi Niang decided to go to the shop to buy some back.
There is a spice shop in the alley, just a few steps away.
But today their house was closed, so Nan Shi Niang had to go to the street to buy.
Master Lu was repairing the carriage at home. Halfway through the repair, he frowned: "Why hasn't Nanxiang come back? Xiaoshun, come and repair it, I'll take a look."
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoshun took the tools from Master Lu's hand, and Master Lu walked out quickly.
At this time, Nan Shi Niang did encounter a little trouble. She was blocked in another alley and injured. The veil was covered in blood.
She covered her aching chest, raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and shot out three Tanghua needles.
The man smiled coldly, raised his hand and caught her hidden weapon.
Nan Shi Niang's face changed.
The man looked at the Tanghua needle in his hand, sneered, and said: "It's actually poisoned, you are a lot more cruel than before, but unfortunately, you are no match for me now!"
At the end, he smiled and shot three Tanghua needles back towards Nan Shi Niang with a snap of his fingers.
Nan Shi Niang's pupils were shocked!
Too fast!
Can't escape at all!
Suddenly, a small figure came running behind Nan Shi Niang, grabbed Nan Shi Niang, and pulled Nan Shi Niang aside.
The three Tanghua needles were nailed to the ground!
And almost at the same moment, Gu Jiao pointed her spear on the ground, jumped up with her strength, and stabbed the opponent's heart with a spear!
The opponent grabbed the body of the Hongying gun with a backhand, but he didn't expect it to be a false move. The muzzle suddenly turned its direction and swept his lower plate!
The other party's eyes trembled, his toes a little, and he rose into the sky and flew to the roof.
After he stabilized his body, he looked at the boy with black hair dancing in the alley.
Holding the red ying gun, the young man raised his head and stared at himself coldly, his eyes were cold and rebellious.
"That marksmanship just now..." He frowned and murmured in a low voice, then he smiled lightly, "Nan Xiang, is this the master you invited? I have to say, this kid is a little bit beyond my expectations. But even so, he is not my opponent! Look at the trick!"
"Brother!"
Nan Shi Niang hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out her arms, and blocked Gu Jiao behind her, "Don't hurt her!"
Brother
Gu Jiao looked at the man on the roof again, the sky was too dark, his figure was shrouded in the night, Gu Jiao couldn't see his skin color, but the outlines of his facial features were still faintly discernible.
This man has very dark eyes.
The appearance was originally considered excellent, but with these eyes, there is an inexplicable feeling of evil.
"Nan Shi Niang, back off." Gu Jiao pressed Nan Shi Niang's arm and stepped forward fearlessly, pointing the spear at him, "Come down and fight me."
The other party was slightly startled, obviously not expecting the young man to be so unafraid of tigers when he was born, but soon, he laughed again.
"Little Junior Sister, I haven't seen such an interesting person for a long time. Since he calls you Shi Niang, he can barely count as half of my junior nephew. I just heard that you came to Shengdu, so I came here. It's just to say hello to you, and I don't want to do anything to you. It's because you were too nervous that you made a move on me first."
Nan Shi Niang gritted her teeth: "Shameless!"
"Okay, the greetings are over, it's time for me to go, goodbye, little junior sister!"
After all, he gave a grim smile and disappeared into the night with a light effort.
Gu Jiao turned around and reached out to support her forearm: "Nan Shi Niang, you are injured."
Nan Shi Niang waved her hand: "A little injury will be fine in a few days, why are you here?"
Gu Jiao said, "If you haven't come back, we will come out to find you. Master Lu has also come to find you. It is estimated that he went in another direction."
Nan Shi Niang gasped slightly: "Let's go, let's go back."
Gu Jiao held the red ying spear in one hand and supported Nan Shi Niang with the other.
The two walked out of the alley, and Nan Shi Niang smiled bitterly: "I didn't tell you about me carefully before, do you blame me?"
Gu Jiao shook her head: "I didn't tell Nan Shi Niang about me either."
Nan Shi Niang smiled, and she didn't have more secrets than anyone else: "Just now that person was called Qi Xuan, the direct disciple of the great head of the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect is a force outside the Six Nations, and I was too People from Tangmen, because I was dissatisfied with the marriage that Tangmen assigned me, I abandoned my martial arts and left Tangmen. If my martial arts were still there, Qi Xuan would not be able to hurt me at all today."
Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "So that's the case, it's no wonder that Mistress's poison and hidden weapons are very powerful."
Nan Shi Niang shook her head slightly again: "These two are actually the two things I'm not good at. Otherwise, I'm not going to give up martial arts, but to give up my hands. Really speaking of hidden weapons and poisons, Qi Xuan is far above me."
Gu Jiao asked suspiciously, "That Shi Niang..."
Nan Shi Niang said: "I am relatively strong in martial arts. Back then, there was a forbidden technique in the Tang Sect, which was originally not allowed for the disciples of this sect, but then the sect master decided to let our direct disciples try it out, and it turned out that I was the only one. I learned. Perhaps because of this, I was forced to marry the son of the head..."
Speaking of this, she paused and smiled, "These are all things in the past, the martial arts are gone, but it's not bad to be able to live a happy life."
"Then why did he want to kill you just now?" Gu Jiao didn't believe that he was just here to say hello. She felt so murderous.
Nan Shi Niang said: "He wants to force me to learn the method of forbidden art, sigh, how do I know what method? Just learn and learn, who knows why they are so stupid?"
Gu Jiao: "..."
Thinking of something, Gu Jiao said, "He just said that he heard that Nan Shi Niang came to Shengdu."
Nan Shi Niang sighed: "Do you still remember the steward surnamed Liao in the National Teacher's Hall? The one who we asked him to go through the back door and take you to the National Teacher's Hall?"
Gu Jiao had a little impression: "The one who was kicked out by King Ma?"
Nan Shi Niang said: "It's him. He used to be an outer disciple of Tang Sect and knew a few of us. I think he should have leaked my whereabouts to Qi Xuan. But I really didn't expect Qi Xuan to come. Shengdu, this is not in line with the rules of the Tang Sect, since the last head of the Tang Sect, they will no longer easily join the WTO."
Suddenly, Nan Shi Niang thought of a possibility.
