Chapter 78: Bowing your head, you win the world of spring
The group of people stayed in the Chen Mansion for a whole week and saw countless weird and charming things collected by the master of the Chen family. It was an eye-opener for the group of people.
During this period, Lin Xue and the Sword Attendant Ye Qingxian lived in the house provided by the Chen family at night. Xu Qingmu tried to sneak in many times, but was discovered and stopped by the Sword Attendant Ye Qingxian, who blocked the door. Lin Xue also declared that they would never live together without getting married. In desperation, Xu Qingmu lived in the same room as Zuo Qiuliang and Li Chengru.
Sometimes when I see Fatty's light always on in the middle of the night, I feel envious for no reason. But then I feel a little relieved, I like Lin Xue like this better.
It was not until the eighth day in the Chen Mansion that Xu Luo received a secret letter from King Changling, informing him that King Xu Yan would be celebrating his birthday in three months. The ceremony was specially moved forward, so Xu Luo and others were asked to speed up their efforts and enter the capital earlier. Xu Qingmu and others said goodbye to the master of the Chen family and continued towards the capital.
Chen Rong cried so hard that she wanted to leave with Shen Xiuqi. The little girl knew that once she left this time, her fat brother would probably not come back, so she became even more sad, with pear blossoms on her face. The mistress of the Chen family also He couldn't bear it and had no choice but to cry and ask the fat man for his opinion. The fat man was in a dilemma. Looking at Xu Luo's livid face, he didn't dare to make his own decision, so he had to promise Chen Rong that when he returned, he would take her to the frontier fortress. Take a look at the scenery.
After receiving the guarantee, Chen Rong's face became lively and she bid farewell to everyone with tears in her eyes.
Xu Qingmu made three inspections, but did not see Chen Yehan, the second uncle of the Chen family, who was in charge of the mountains and rivers. He just thought he was busy and was delayed.
Zuo Qiuliang came over carrying a huge luggage that had not been put down even after everyone tried to persuade him for a long time: "Why, are you looking for Chen Yehan?"
Xu Qingmu was a little surprised: "Do you know him?"
Zuo Qiuliang said with a smile: "We have met once, what do you think of that person?"
Li Chengru, who got on the carriage, plucked his ears, obviously not willing to listen to these small talk. Xu Qingmu looked in the direction of the Chen family and sighed: "I am still very grateful to him. He allowed me to read some things, and I did realize this." Several years of relaxation and laziness. If it weren’t for my second uncle, I wouldn’t have thought of going to Taofu Lane to buy some talisman paper, and I wouldn’t have met you.”
Zuo Qiuliang nodded thoughtfully.
Xu Qingmu asked in reply: "Is there really a magical power that can control mountains and rivers in this world?"
Zuo Qiuliang smiled and said: "The so-called "viewing mountains and rivers with the palm of your hand" is just a general statement." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and made a white bowl out of thin air. Without any movement, some clear water came out of the bowl. Zuo Qiuliang bit his finger. A drop of blood dropped into the bowl, and a vortex quickly formed in the bowl. After a while, the water turned red, and then white again.
As Zuo Qiuliang said "rise", the water in the bowl spurted away, forming a water curtain inside the carriage.
In the middle of the water curtain, the Chen family scene vaguely appeared, and inside was the scene inside Chen Yehan's house. Only then did Xu Qingmu understand why Uncle Chen didn't show up when they left. It turned out that he was seriously injured and was lying on the bed to recuperate.
Then Zuo Qiuhan waved his hand, and the water curtain faded away and fell back into the bowl. Zuo Qiuliang threw the white bowl out of the carriage together, leaving both the bowl and the water in Baimang City.
"Using some secret techniques, you can capture some 'luck' for viewing or divination. The greater your ability, the more 'luck' you can capture and the more you can see. This is the so-called 'viewing the mountains and rivers with the palm of your hand'. Xiao It’s just a trick.”
Xu Qingmu was dumbfounded. Is this a little trick?
Zuo Qiuliang laughed loudly: "It's not enough for outsiders."
Li Chengru, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly took out the book "Eighty-one Records of Lang Lang on the Cloud" and began to study it by himself. Zuo Qiuliang, who was still chatting with Xu Qingmu, immediately felt uneasy and stretched his head to think forward.
They wanted to watch it together. But the package on his body was too big and got stuck on top of the carriage. So Zuo Qiuliang directly tore off the package and threw it to Xu Qingmu: "Don't you have something close by? Help me save it."
Xu Qingmu took the package and joked: "Don't blame me if it's missing?"
Zuo Qiuliang waved his hand directly: "It's okay." It wasn't until the carriage left Baimang City that Chen Yehan, who was seriously injured in bed, struggled to get up and kowtowed to the ground in the direction the carriage left: "Thank you, master, for your noble hand. I will remember the lesson!"
But then he seemed to have figured something out, and kowtowed again: "Thank you Mr. Xu for saving my life."
No one noticed that the water level in the entire Chen Mansion continued to drop. Several colorful dragons and carps were writhing up and down, struggling desperately as if they wanted to jump out of the pond. It was not until the bowl of water fell to the ground that the falling water level stopped. The top of Baizhang Mountain in the backyard was cracked and gravel
Rolling, the mountain dropped dozens of feet.
Only the stone tablet with the words "Heroes Meet in Wind and Rain" is intact and shining.

--------------------------
As soon as Xu Kun finished speaking, the prince on the scene changed from shock to fear.
After reacting, Jiang Taozhi trembled all over, clenching her slender fingers tightly, as if she could see looming blue veins. Her breasts under the white clothes were shaking up and down. Xu Pei could clearly feel the anger of the woman in front of him at this moment, so he tapped his toes and backed away quickly, just in time.
Avoided the peach blossom branches coming towards me.
"boom--"
The extremely hard school ground spread like a spider web, and a huge hole was created in the middle.
"crazy!?"
Xu Pei rolled and crawled, not daring to look back. He used all his strength to run away into the distance, shouting loudly: "Isn't it just that the veil was torn off? It looks like the enemy who killed his father."
But this female nun from Lilan Palace is so pretty!
While running away and reminiscing, he accidentally got hit in the back by another palm. Xu Pei's blood surged and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He staggered forward and almost fell to the ground.
"That's crazy!"
Without any time to think, he gritted his teeth and increased his speed again, shooting forward. Jiang Taozhi had no intention of letting him go, and struck out again with the peach blossom branch in his hand, grazing Xu Pei's ear like a sword that pierced the air. Xu Pei was completely frightened.
, turned around and shouted: "Are you crazy? Are you really murderous?"
The female nun who came out of Lilan Palace had her face as deep as water, and without explaining a word, she struck again, came quickly, and struck out with another palm.
Seeing that he could not avoid it, Prince Xu Pei bit the bullet and faced the palm.
"boom--"
There was another loud noise, Xu Pei's entire right arm was completely broken, and blood flew everywhere. Xu Pei's face was sweating profusely in pain, and he knelt on the ground and gasped for air. Looking at the expressionless Jiang Taozhi walking in front of him step by step, he simply fell to the ground.
Once he squatted, he no longer resisted.
"Bah", he spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "If you don't want to run away, kill me if you want." Then he lay down on the ground, closed his eyes and waited for death.
Jiang Taozhi stood still, his beautiful face full of murderous intent, and he raised his hand to kill.
"Stop it, Taozhi."
A clear shout came, and Xu Pei opened his eyes. Looking at the palm so close to him, he was horrified: This girl really wants to kill herself.
But then he saw clearly who was coming, and then he dragged his broken arm, stood up, saluted, and said, "I have met the Queen."
The visitor is none other than the Queen, Cao Yuqiu.
"Pei'er is exempt from the gift." Then he turned to look at Jiang Taozhi and sighed: "Taozhi, forget it, it's just fate."
Jiang Taozhi's beautiful face was filled with tears. A person is more beautiful than a delicate flower, and the clear tears break the slave's heart. At that moment, Xu Pei was at a loss and wanted to say something, but Jiang Taozhi stamped his feet and flew away in white clothes.
Leave.
Xu Pei scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Why such a big reaction?"
Empress Cao stretched out her jade hand, poked the prince's forehead lightly, and said with a smile: "You, you." Then, the queen told Xu Pei the origin of "lifting the veil" in Lilan Palace.
If you raise it, you can either kill him or marry him. Only then did Xu Pei understand in his heart, no wonder Jiang Taozhi was determined to kill him.
Xu Pei rubbed his hands together angrily, and Xu Pei laughed. This... has an extra daughter-in-law? Or is she such a beautiful and beautiful daughter-in-law?
The queen seemed to see Xu Pei's thoughts and reminded: "Although Taozhi did not kill you, you still have a long way to go before you can truly win the beauty's heart and gain real recognition."
Xu Pei nodded, deeply convinced.
Afterwards, Empress Cao looked at Xu Pei's broken arm with some worry, and said in a concerned tone: "Are you okay?"
Although Empress Cao is not her biological mother, she treats her very well from the bottom of her heart. Not only is she not suppressed in any way, but she also often takes good care of her. There are rumors in the palace that she treats her as the biological mother who died young.
As for his son, Xu Pei understood clearly in his heart, so no matter how his biological mother, Concubine Ye, slandered and cursed Empress Cao, Xu Pei never listened and believed her words, and his respect for Empress Cao truly came from the bottom of his heart.
"It's okay, just rest for a few days."
After Empress Cao left, Xu Pei touched the patted heart, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The imperial edict issued by the king reads "Take the veil and marry the peach branch". From the time the discussion was proposed, it was done with intention, but even the masters Wen Renbo and Xu Pei who were always by their sides did not say anything.
Dragging his injured body back, Xu Pei hummed a song he learned from the frontier fortress:
"Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the River Island"
"A graceful lady, a gentleman is a good man"
...
--------------------------
Along the way, Xu Qingmu couldn't stand the quarrel between Li Chengru and Zuo Qiuliang, so he simply changed a carriage and wanted to get into Lin Xue's car and leave.
Ye Qingxian refused directly. She didn't want to see the two of them bored and out of sight. Besides, she still had a lot to talk to Lin Xue. This little girl always felt that Lin Xue was very kind, as if she had seen her somewhere.
But to Xu Qingmu's ears, it was just polite words between little girls.
I had no choice but to get on the fat man's carriage.
Fatty, Xu Luo, and Cao Tong, who hasn't spoken to Xu Qingmu for a week.
Since Lin Xue came, Cao Tong has lost the unique vitality of a little girl. He looks sick all day long, has no interest in anything, and is dying.
Xu Qingmu got into the car, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Xu Luo coughed: "By the way, Fatty, didn't you say you wanted to ask Li Chengru what those four words meant? Why don't you go now?"
The fat man scratched his head: "Oh?...Oh! Yes, let's go now."
In the carriage, Xu Qingmu and Cao Tong looked at each other.
"that……"
Xu Qingmu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Tears came to Cao Tong's eyes. In the past four years, he told himself countless times that he wanted to leave Xu Qingmu, but he just couldn't do it. There seemed to be a voice deep in his heart that kept telling him to leave him, leave him... But every time
When I thought of leaving, my heart felt like a knife.
Just like when I saw Xu Qingmu and Lin Xue together, my heart was as sharp as a knife.
Cao Tong's eyes were red from crying. They have been red and swollen these days, and they became even redder when he cried like this. Cao Tong thought of the master with a bare head and feet, and a pair of fishes on his head:
"Disciple, if one day you meet someone you like, will you leave Master?"
Cao Tong was even more sad, as if his heart was tightly held by a hand, and it hurt. Is there anyone better than Master in this world?
But she met him.
Xu Qingmu looked at the tears of the girl in front of him and was a little overwhelmed for a while. It took him a long time to speak:
"sorry."
From the heart, Xu Qingmu thinks that Cao Tong is very good, really very good. He has a lively personality, is kind, and is very kind to himself. But Xu Qingmu cannot guarantee that he will only like Lin Xue in this life, but at the same time, he Xu Qingmu only likes Lin Xue.
Will like someone.
Cao Tong did not answer. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. She remembered what Xu Qingmu said when chatting with the fat man:
"A woman can't see her feet when she lowers her head, so she can conquer all the beauty in this world."
