The lord can't get along with this butterfly

The next day was about to dawn, and Ji Xiao went out to practice martial arts as usual, after Chen Shi, he guessed that Hua Zhuo had washed up, so he sent someone to call him.

Hua Zhuo wore a purple dress today, covered with light blue wide-sleeved crimson gauze, her whole body was still bright and dazzling, and followed Ji Xiao into the carriage.

The short-distance carriage was not as spacious as the on-road carriage, and the two sat down close to each other.A light and slightly sweet fragrance of flowers came faintly, Ji Xiao paused for a moment, and was about to ask something, but then remembered that lavender seemed to be nothing unusual for the current flowers, so he didn't open his mouth.

"Where are we going?" Hua Zhuo asked.

"Didn't I say yesterday that I want to tell you the whole story?" Ji Xiao said lightly, "I'll know when we arrive."

Hua Zhuo nodded, and turned his gaze to the street scene outside the window.

Halfway through the carriage, Huazhuo's eyes suddenly lit up as he passed a gorgeous pavilion. He pointed to the outside and asked, "Where is that Jiangxue Tower?"

Ji Xiao glanced at the flashing scenery lightly, and said: "It's the residence of the national teacher."

Hua Zhuo was puzzled and said: "Shouldn't the national teacher live in the imperial city? Why is it in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Ji Xiao said: "I've never seen anyone come in or out of that building, maybe it's just a residence granted by the emperor to the national teacher, but the national teacher himself is not in it."

Hua Jue couldn't help but glanced out of the window again.

It turns out that other people don't know that there is a national teacher living in Qiujiang City, and there doesn't seem to be an attendant in Jiangxuelou... Then why does the national teacher live here mysteriously and alone?

Catch butterflies?

Ji Xiao secretly observed his expression, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Hua Zhuo paused, feeling that there was nothing to hide, and said: "I went out yesterday and saw the national teacher there."

Ji Xiao frowned, "Why did you go there?"

Hua Zhuo blinked, but couldn't tell him that she was led there, and said innocently, "I got lost there."

Ji Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, he wanted to say a few words to him, but held back.

He didn't know the way when he went out, and he didn't know how to bring a servant.Fortunately, I sent someone out to look for him yesterday, otherwise I am so stupid, I am afraid that even if I want to come back, I will not be able to find where Wanqing Villa is.

Ji Xiao's face was cold and hard, and he asked: "What did the national teacher tell you?"

Hua Zhuo hesitated, "He... didn't say anything, he just threw me out."

Ji Xiao glanced at him and didn't care much, "You don't want to say it."

Hua Zhuo was silent and did not deny it.

"However..." Ji Xiao said in a deep voice, "It is rumored that the national teacher is not an ordinary person. According to the people, he has a kind of divine power or demon power."

Hua Zhuo answered in a natural tone, "Really? It should be a rumor spread by the common people. How can you believe such strange powers..."

"Maybe." Ji Xiao had no expression on his face, and reminded, "But no matter what, that person is mysterious, and you don't know his details, so don't go there again in the future."

Hua Zhuo let out an "oh", and agreed perfunctorily.After a while, he remembered the scene he saw in Jiangxue Tower yesterday, and couldn't help but add another sentence, "However, the common people said that the national teacher is not an ordinary person, and it is not unfounded. The face is monstrous enough..."

"Better than me." There was a hint of jealousy in his tone.

The corner of Ji Xiao's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

After traveling for less than half an hour, the carriage stopped at the side of the gravel road in the north of the city.Ji Xiao took him out of the car and walked along the path for a while without any servants.

From a glance, the scenery here is not bad, but now the weather is getting colder, the grass leaves that are higher than the ankles have withered, and the surrounding trees are sparse, making it look a bit desolate.Not far away stood an unnamed hexagonal pavilion, and a house could be faintly seen beyond the pavilion.

Ji Xiao led him through the pavilion, Hua Zhuo walked slowly with him, raised his head to look into the distance, but immediately froze.

The autumn wind is cold, the weeds are luxuriant, and the tombstones and low graves are everywhere, which is shocking at first glance.

It was the first time for Hua Zhuo to see a large tomb. He knew that this was the burial place of mortals, and a chill appeared in his heart. He stood there and didn't dare to go any further. His fingertips felt a little cold.

Ji Xiao seemed to see that he was afraid, his eyes fell on his hand, he slowly stretched out his hand, and held it very lightly, with restraint and warmth, which made Hua Zhuo feel a little more at ease.

"Are we going there?" Hua Zhuo asked in a low voice, calming down.

Ji Xiao gave a "hmm" and pulled him over with a little force on his arm.

Passing by the tombstone step by step, Hua Zhuo looked down at the name of the deceased engraved on the tombstone seriously.These steles looked old, and some short grass grew on the earthen graves. More importantly, these dead people seemed to have the same surname.

Ji Xiao led him, walked slowly to the central tombstone, and stopped.

In front of this tombstone, there are a lot of snacks, obviously someone came here not long ago.

"These... are you putting them?" Hua Zhuo asked.

Ji Xiao nodded, let go of his hand, and looked down at the stone tablet, "I come here every few months, just a few days ago."

Hua Zhuo silently looked at the word "Lin Qiao" engraved on the tombstone, and then looked at the stone tablets all over the floor.The withered grass is desolate, the fields are barren, the sky is gray, and the color of withered prosperity and decay is everywhere, which makes people feel desolate.

"Huaitang was my playmate when I was young. We met at a banquet back then. Because Wanqing Villa is not far from the Lin family, we often meet up in Qiujiang City." Ji Xiao recalled without expression, Shen Said, "He is one year older than me, so he always gives me everything, and he will give me any new gadgets. We have been playing very well since we were young. As long as we finish our daily homework, we will They would run to the small stone bridge in Qiujiang City and wait for the other party, sometimes even from noon to dusk. Once, they even stayed out at night to catch a hare, and when they returned home, they were whipped by the rattan whip and hurt all over."

"When I was eight years old, Huaitang was nine years old. We dumped the shadow guards and ran wildly in the street. At that time, I didn't look at the road. A carriage rushed towards me. It was Huaitang who pushed me away..." Ji Xiao's eyes darkened, and he said, "His leg was trampled by a horse, and he was run over by a carriage, so he is useless."

Hua Zhuo slightly opened his eyes.

For a martial arts practitioner, if his legs were broken, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking half his life...

Huazhu worried: "Then he..."

"He didn't blame me." Ji Xiao looked down at the name engraved on the tombstone with deep eyes.

"Because of a leg injury, he had to give up martial arts and study books instead. At that time, Huaitang was very smart, and he won the exam at the age of 15, so he gave himself this name, hoping that one day he could rely on his full belly of sages. Jinglun entered the imperial city and lived high in the temple." When Ji Xiao said this, his eyes changed, "But later, in the year he was elected, the Lin family suddenly suffered a change, because a treasure implicated The entire Lin family was massacred."

"Huaitang is also in it." Ji Xiao looked at the tombstone with cold eyes.

Hua Zhuo was shocked, and turned to look at the forty or fifty tombstones, "Just because of a treasure?"

"Speaking of which, if the Patriarch of the Lin family hadn't tried his best to protect the heirloom for his own selfishness, the Lin family wouldn't have fallen to this point." Ji Xiao coldly glanced at the tombstone next to him.

"What kind of treasure can be worth so many lives?" Hua Zhuo worried.

Ji Xiao looked indifferent, "It is rumored that there are five holy treasures in the world, and if you get them, you can win the world. The Lin family's green burning jade is one of them."

"To win the world? Just for such an unrealistic purpose?" Hua Jue was surprised, "What about the murderer? Have you found it?"

Ji Xiao shook his head, and said: "I only found out that the one who killed the Lin family back then was the Song family who had a feud with it, but the Song family is small and weak, and there must be someone behind it. But I have never found the mastermind behind it."

"So..." Ji Xiao looked at Hua Zhuo with calm eyes, "I need to get the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and with the help of more forces, I can trace the murderer back then."

Hua Zhuo pursed her lips and looked at him, "So, the reason you married me is actually to be the leader of the martial arts?"

Ji Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Yes."

"Then you... do you want Tian Yi Sword?" Hua Zhuo asked.

Ji Xiao paused, "Yes."

Hua Zhuo was not surprised, she remained silent and did not speak.

"I don't want to force you." Ji Xiao said lightly, "The martial arts conference is half a year away, but to hold a martial arts conference, you may not have to choose a leader. If you don't want to, I can wait for the next one in five years. At the General Assembly, maybe my martial arts will have improved further, and I can win the position of leader without the Heavenly Sword."

Hua Jue frowned slightly, and said with a headache: "You say that, it makes me a little..."

"Don't think too much about it." Ji Xiao said in a deep voice, "This is my business, and you shouldn't be involved in it. You can think about it slowly, whether you want it or not...it's fine, I won't force it."

Hua Zhuo was silent.

Ji Xiao's eyes fell on the tombstone, his eyes were flat and unwavering, looking at the name on it, he said calmly: "Huai Tang, I told you last time that I'm married...the person next to me is my wife. "

Huazhu looked at him in surprise.

Ji Xiao seemed to be feeling something, but without raising his eyes, he said lightly: "When I came that day, I mentioned you to Huaitang."

Hua Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, worried slightly, "Did you speak ill of me?"

I heard that in the human world, supernatural things will happen if you say something to the dead.

Ji Xiao gave him a funny look, "No."

Huazhu curled her lips worriedly.

"Let's go." Ji Xiao glanced at the stele lightly again, and led him away.

On the way back, the two sat in the carriage, each having their own concerns.

Ji Xiao sat there with his eyes closed, as if he was just resting his mind, Hua Zhuo sneaked a few glances at him, and after a long while, he finally said: "That..."

Ji Xiao heard the voice and slightly opened his eyes.

"The Song family... what happened afterwards?" Hua Zhuo asked.

"I took money from my employer," Ji Xiao replied lightly, "I'm doing well now."

Hua Zhuo was stunned, and said hesitantly, "Then you..."

"I will kill the Patriarch of the Song family." Ji Xiao said coldly, with no expression on his face, "Soon."

Hua Zhuo was a little puzzled. The Lin family was wiped out six years ago. Since we already knew who the murderer was, why did we wait until now?

"My father didn't know about this matter." Ji Xiao seemed to know what he was thinking, and closed his eyes again, "Fighting in the rivers and lakes has always been like this, and tragedies like the Lin family are not uncommon. The purpose of being the leader is only to avenge the Lin family, and he will definitely stop me."

"That's why you waited until after you got married, until your father handed over the control of the villa to you... so as to hide it from him?" Hua Jue was a little stunned.

Ji Xiao didn't make a sound, it was a tacit agreement.

Calculated in this way, Ji Xiao may have been waiting for six years to kill the head of the Song family. With such a deep thought... Hua Zhuo felt a little strange in his heart, and his voice was unconsciously nervous, and he couldn't help guessing, "Are you No, for Lin Qiao..."

Ji Xiao glanced at him inexplicably, "What?"

Hua Zhuo had a strange expression, and swallowed the words back, "...it's nothing."

Ji Xiao reacted, and sneered, "What are you thinking? That's the brother I grew up with, not to mention that he once sacrificed his own future to save me. Isn't it natural for me to avenge him?"

It's true...

Hua Zhuo felt relieved, but after thinking about it carefully, she was still a little worried, thinking that if Ji Xiao really had that kind of meaning for Lin Qiao, then his current status would be too absurd.So I couldn't help but ask again, "Really?"

Ji Xiao raised his eyebrows, and said impatiently: "No."

Hua Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, relieved.

At night, when the moonlight was cool, Ji Xiao sat in the gazebo in the middle of the water pavilion and wiped his sword. The shadow guard walked steadily along the wooden path and handed him the envelope in his hand.

There was no word on the envelope, and no name was left.

Ji Xiao pulled out the letter paper, unfolded it, and when his eyes fell on the line of ink, he paused involuntarily, and then laughed shortly.

"Young Master..." The shadow guard looked at him curiously.

Ji Xiao handed him the letterhead and said, "Do you know what it means?"

The shadow guard took the letter paper, and there were only eight characters left on it - it's not just Anzai, I don't want to miss Shu.

The shadow guard froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Ji Xiao looked at him calmly, thinking he was uneducated, and said: "Don't just focus on practicing martial arts on weekdays, you should also read more books."

The shadow guard opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Ji Xiao, "If you don't even know this, how will you marry a wife in the future?"

The shadow guard looked puzzled, why can't he marry a wife if he doesn't read enough?

"If you really don't understand, just take the letter and ask the housekeeper, or the accountant." Ji Xiao looked indifferent, then thought for a while, and Yan Jin added, "If they ask where the letter came from, they will say that Lin Don’t talk too much about the letter Qiu sent home.”

The people of Wanqing Villa have always been respectful and respectful, and no one would talk too much about such matters.

The shadow guard corrected the topic in a timely manner, "Master Shao, what should we do with this letter now? Do you still have to send it?"

"I want to send it. However, the content has to be changed." Ji Xiao said lightly, gently rubbing the lines on the sword with his fingertips, and sneered, "I want to see... What Qiu Huaiyu wants to do next."

Next, the relationship line will start to ride the rocket, hehehe~

Today is also a thick and long chapter, praise me! !
