The lord can't get along with this butterfly

The horses stopped in front of a village outside the city, and the shadow guards followed closely behind. When the people inside heard the movement, they immediately opened the door and came out to greet him.The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, tall and strong, with dark skin and a powerful wildness.

"Leader." The man greeted, then looked Hua Zhuo up and down, saw his clothes clearly, and suddenly said, "This is the madam, right?"

Ji Xiao nodded, and heard a rough voice roaring from inside the door: "The lord is here, why haven't you even made up yet?!"

Hua Zhuo couldn't help but look inside.

The man showed apology, he hurriedly stepped back and invited people inside, and said: "Madam made me laugh, please come in quickly."

Hua Zhuo followed Ji Xiao into the room. The front yard was an open space with all kinds of weapons neatly placed beside it. It was obviously a place for daily martial arts training.Now there was only a small table, and a tall and strong man was sitting bent over the small stool and kneading the dough. Because of his erratic movements, a lot of flour was spilled around him.

"Your noodles are already mixed, you should add some more flour!" Another man stood beside him and continued to growl.

"What's the noise! ​​I'm not blind!" the man yelled back angrily, reaching out to grab another handful of flour.

Hua Zhuo looked surprised.

The middle-aged man frowned, stood behind them and coughed.

The two turned their heads and saw Ji Xiao coming, they quickly changed their smiling faces, and greeted without notice, "The lord is here."

Ji Xiao responded, and calmly said to Hua Zhuo: "This Zhuangzi is my private property, and there are all heroes living in it, a total of 16 people. The previous night attack on the Song family was thanks to having them follow."

"What is the leader talking about? We are thankful that the leader is willing to take it in." The man who met with him said with a smile.

Then Ji Xiao introduced the three people in front of him to Hua Zhuo respectively. The middle-aged man who opened the door was named Chen Zhu. He used to be a bandit leader who robbed the rich and helped the poor on the top of the mountain. He had a strong leadership and was quite prestigious among this group of people. .The man who made the meeting was named Lu Shengjiang, who was born in a family of martial arts. Later, when the family declined, seeing the hopeless future, he voluntarily came to join Ji Xiao.The last man was named He Liu. He was born with a hulking back and a fierce face, but he was kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and his sword skills were excellent.

When the two heard about Hua Zhuo's identity, their expressions were quite excited, and they even used what they had learned all their lives to praise him from beginning to end.

Hua Zhuo touched her nose in embarrassment and embarrassment.

These people are really... not at all out of the ordinary.

"What about the rest?" Ji Xiao asked.

"A few of them followed Liang Er to help in the kitchen. We had no place to stand, so we were squeezed out to make dough. The rest were in the backyard." He Liu said.

Liang Er is also a tall and thick guy, he looks clumsy, but he is actually very careful and skillful, he is the only one among the sixteen who can cook.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Zhu said to Ji Xiao: "It will be a while before the dumplings are finished, the leader and wife will follow me to the front hall for a drink of tea."

Ji Xiao nodded, and Hua Zhuo followed him to the front hall.

As soon as he was seated, Ji Xiao didn't exchange many pleasantries, and asked straight to the point: "You mentioned in your letter a few days ago that you have something to tell me in person, what is it?"

There was one more person present, and Chen Zhu didn't shy away from it. He poured tea for the two of them and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the real culprit has not been found out for a long time in the tragedy of the Lin family, and even the Wanqing Villa can't find any clues." , the subordinates couldn't help but wonder if the people in the Jianghu were not responsible for this matter... So I wanted to ask the leader what he thinks."

Ji Xiao frowned, and said: "I've guessed this a long time ago. It is rumored in the world that if you get the Holy Treasure, you can win the world. The reason why people in the Jianghu are in the Jianghu is because they don't want to be contaminated by the right and wrong of the court. What's more, the case of the Lin family is a big deal. It’s not big, it’s not small, and after so many years, the people behind it still haven’t revealed any clues. To be able to do this without leaking, its power must not be underestimated.”

Chen Zhu nodded, showing worry on his face, and asked, "Then...if the person is not a person in the Jianghu, but a nobleman in the palace, how will the leader deal with it?"

Ji Xiao was silent for a while, and said: "It's another matter at that time, the most urgent thing now is to find out the identity of this person first."

After all, Ji Xiao glanced at him again, "You suddenly mentioned this to me today, but what did you find?"

Chen Zhu hesitated and said: "No, it's just that I heard recently...the current emperor seems to be looking for the whereabouts of the holy treasure."

"Emperor?" Ji Xiao frowned.

"The emperor is already the lord of the world, what else do you want to do with the holy treasure?" Hua Zhuo asked in surprise.

Chen Zhudao: "My subordinates don't know too well, but after careful calculation, the year when the green jade was taken away was the year when the emperor ascended the throne."

Hua Zhuo was dumbfounded, and looked at Ji Xiao worriedly.

If it is really the emperor who took away the green burning jade, what should I do?

Ji Xiao rubbed the cup in his hand, and said calmly: "I don't think so. The emperor is above ten thousand people. If he really wanted to find the holy treasure, how could he not find it after so many years."

However, Chen Zhu felt that this was not the case, and said: "Sacred treasures are precious things that can be encountered but not sought after. Besides, how does the leader know that the emperor has not found them all? It is possible that the five holy treasures are all in the palace now."

Ji Xiao lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Hua Zhuo knew it in her heart.

Now Tianjitong is in the hands of the national teacher, and the longevity bone may also be.Not surprisingly, the Holy Treasure can only be used by people with mana, even the Emperor Daxuan, it is useless to get the Holy Treasure.

If it is said that the emperor searched for the holy treasure for six or seven years, it is not impossible, but it is indeed unrealistic.

Ji Xiao had no intention of discussing this topic any more, so he got up and took Hua Zhuo to the backyard, and asked him to meet the rest of the people and get acquainted in advance.

At noon, the kitchen was finally done.

In the entire Zhuangzi, there are only about [-] people including the shadow guards, but Liang Er has cooked a whole ten pots of dumplings, all of which are thin-skinned and filled with large fillings, complete and beautiful, and the heat is just right. There are more than [-] people gathered together, but there is really a Chinese New Year atmosphere.

The only thing is that everyone took care of the leader's habit of not talking when eating. No one spoke during the meal, only the voices of a few fierce men smacking their mouths.

After eating, everyone sat around the front yard. Liang Er cut a few plates of fruit, took out home-brewed wine, and poured it for everyone.People in the Jianghu get together after tea and dinner, and naturally talk about some interesting things in the Jianghu, especially today with the leader and wife present, and they have to pick some strange and rare things to prove their rich experience in the Jianghu.

Hua Zhuo sounded fresh, and he held his chin, listening to everyone tell stories while eating.When the chat got heated, some people saw that he liked to listen, and even pulled him to talk without any notice.

In the back, everyone got drunk, and gradually evolved from storytelling to martial arts, using the open space in the front yard as a ring, and the fight was inseparable.

Hua Jue's eyes straightened.

"Is this a fight?" Hua Zhuo asked in surprise.

"This group of people are all genuine, and martial arts competitions are common." Ji Xiao took a sip of his wine and said calmly, "In two days, when the arrangements are made in the village, I plan to bring them back to the villa It will be convenient for you to make any arrangements in the future.”

"Take it back to the villa?" Hua Zhuo looked at the two people who were fighting inseparably in front of him, and sighed, "Then our village is going to be lively..."

Ji Xiao paused when he heard the word "we", and said a calm "hmm".

Hua Zhuo concentrated on watching their contest, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, couldn't help frowning, "This wine is so spicy."

Ji Xiao said: "People who practice martial arts like to drink strong wine. If you want to drink something sweet, the wine cellar in the village has it."

Hua Zhuo curled her lips, her eyes suddenly drifted to the table, her heart moved, and she stretched out her hand to him.

Ji Xiao subconsciously grabbed the wrist under the table, frowned and looked at him, "What are you doing?"

Hua Zhuo said innocently: "It's cold."

The touch in his hand was clearly warm, Ji Xiao raised his brows, and immediately understood, he said impatiently, "Where is this place? You can't divide the occasions?"

"Oh." Hua Zhuo muffled a reply, with a slightly disappointed expression.

Ji Xiao had a headache on his face.

In front of so many people, he is still so dissolute, I really don't know where he learned these bad habits.

Squinting his eyes, Ji Xiao had no choice but to slide his palm down, clasped his hand, and said coldly: "Just this time, don't make an exception."

The corners of Hua Zhuo's lips curved.

The shadow guard stood guard on the roof behind him, staring straight ahead, pretending he didn't see anything.

When the sun was about to set, Ji Xiao got on his horse and left with Hua Zhuo, but the two of them didn't go back to the villa, but turned a corner, intending to visit the Lin family's cemetery.

The horses walked slowly, and the horses of several shadow guards kept a sufficient distance and followed five meters away.Hua Zhuo drank some wine, leaned back into Ji Xiao's arms and felt sleepy, suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes, and said, "I remembered... Did you come back from here last time and met me falling into the water?"

Ji Xiao gave a faint "hmm".

Hua Zhuo raised her head, facing the warm orange sunset in the distance, and couldn't help asking: "Then... when did you find out that my identity is wrong?"

"A long time ago." Ji Xiao replied lightly.

"How did you find out?" Huazhuo asked.

Ji Xiao lowered his head slightly, the smell in his nose became clearer, and the mist that he exhaled scattered around Hua Zhuo's face, and said in a cold voice, "You have a fragrance on your body that Lin Qiu didn't have before."

Hua Zhuo felt that he was approaching, her face flushed, and said: "This... it was stained in the flower garden. The flowers in the fairy world are different from those in the ordinary world. After a long time of contact, they will be infected with the fragrance of flowers."

Hua Zhuo asked again: "What else is there?"

Ji Xiao raised his head and continued to look at the road ahead, and said slowly: "There are also handwriting, habits, and personality, all of which are very different from before. But what really made me sure was the time in Zuixiaolou... I called Shenglin Qiu, but you stood still and said with a stupid face that you didn't recognize me."

Thinking of this, Ji Xiao couldn't help snorting again, and said: "It's really lucky that you thought you didn't reveal your truth afterwards, and you can still pretend to be with me."

Hua Zhuo was speechless for a while, and complained a little: "Then why didn't you ask me then? You wouldn't... you deliberately waited for me to reveal my identity?"

"No." Ji Xiao glanced at him expressionlessly, and said, "I was just afraid that you would have some difficulties, and I was also afraid that if I asked too much, you would feel uncomfortable, and even just walked away."

Hua Zhuo licked the corners of her lips that were about to raise.

It turned out that I was still afraid of him leaving...

Turning her head to look at him, Hua Zhuo blinked and said, "Is that why you can't bear to part with me?"

Ji Xiao ignored him.

"Why?" Hua Zhuo refused to let go.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Hua Zhuo continued to ask: "Could it be because I'm good-looking in my original form?"

Seeing him getting closer and closer to his arms, Ji Xiao was a little impatient, raised his eyebrows, suddenly raised his chin with one hand, and lowered his head to imprint on that lip.

Hua Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, and immediately stopped moving.

Ji Xiao stared at him with dark eyes, his tone was the same as usual, and asked: "Otherwise, if you leave, who am I going to do this kind of thing with?"

Hua Zhuo's eyes widened, her face flushed completely.

When this person said such words, his expression didn't change for a moment...

Being so calm makes people feel even more embarrassed...

After being teased suddenly, Hua Zhuo immediately settled down a lot, and didn't speak any more along the way.
