"Sixth sister, fifth brother is hurting you for nothing!"
Cui Gong pushed the door open and walked in with a teasing tone. Xiao Pingzhu stood behind and bowed respectfully. Cui Gong looked at Cui Wan who was extremely haggard, and felt a pang of pity in his heart.
"Look at you, you are opening and closing your mouth, thinking about Yang Shaoxia. How can you still have my fifth brother in your eyes? Not to mention that my father won't allow it, even I am a little annoyed that that boy actually seduced the soul of my Cui family's daughter.
Let’s go!”
Cui Wan, full of expectations, rushed forward, but was teased by Fifth Brother, who suddenly burst into tears: "Fifth Brother! Wan'er knew that her father would never break off the engagement, so she simply accepted her fate. Could she even ask about Chong Lingzi's safety...
…Isn’t it also allowed?”
Seeing that he had made her unhappy again, Cui Gong hurriedly persuaded her in a soft voice: "Sixth sister, don't cry! Fifth brother is just joking. In the past two days, fifth brother has been to Paomaling, Lingshan'ao, and Xianglu Village to find his wife.
After some inquiries from acquaintances, I got a rough idea.
That Yang Shaoxia is really incredible! It is said that he single-handedly killed Huo Xianren and allowed the Zoroastrian saint to enter the city smoothly. Now Taiwei Palace has ordered a search for him everywhere, but nothing was found. I think he escaped from the city safely...
"
Cui Wan heard that he only said a few words, so he gave a general summary of what Yang Chaoxi did outside Luo City on March 15th. His heartbeat suddenly rose and fell, his emotions were tense and relaxed, and he was already shocked and blushing.
It's just that the information Cui Gong inquired about was not detailed. Although he could guess that what Chong Lingzi had experienced must be extremely dangerous, he didn't know whether he was injured and hiding, or whether he came out of the city unharmed.
Cui Gong knew that she was confused because of concern. At this time, instead of relaxing his mood, he seemed to be more entangled. He couldn't bear it, so he added: "Fifth brother heard from a 'secret man' in the house that yesterday at noon, under the east hill in the north of the city,
It seems that Yang Shaoxia disguised himself as a beggar and went to the 'Tower of Silence'. He looked lively and vigorous, not the least bit injured."
"Why did he go to the 'Tower of Silence'? Is he really pretending to be a Zoroastrian? Why did he pretend to be a beggar?" After hearing this, Cui Wan was relieved of his worries. Instead, he became a little curious and asked casually.
road.
"Fifth brother doesn't know about this either. That Anzi is just an ordinary Zoroastrian, how can he find out in such detail?"
Cui Gong couldn't help scratching his head. Suddenly he remembered something and hurriedly started talking, "A strange thing happened at noon today. The Tan Mansion in Yongtai Square was raided by the armored guards of Taiwei Palace, and the family members of the Mansion were arrested and imprisoned. I remember
Then Qin Qing, the eldest daughter of the Qin Mansion, is your junior sister at Linji Temple, right?"
Cui Wan was also surprised and confused: "What is Taiwei Palace going to do? It's all going to trouble the Qin Mansion! I don't know what happened to Junior Sister Qin... If the fifth brother has time today, he will go to Linji Temple on Wan'er's behalf.
,Ask about the situation."
After Cui Gong heard this, he had to smile bitterly and said: "Don't worry, Sixth Sister! Now that you are confined to the house, Fifth Brother is your eyes and ears. I only hope that in the future, when you marry a woman, you can keep more of Fifth Brother's benefits in your heart."
When Cui Wan heard this, tears appeared in his eyes again, but he solemnly bowed to him.
The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer.
Clouds swim across the clear sky, sometimes transforming into dragons and phoenixes, sometimes Kunpeng, truly a myriad of shapes and changes.
Cui Wan sat blankly in front of the window, scrawling a few regular characters on the desk, but they were dignified and beautiful, and people couldn't help but praise them. She threw the fine calligraphy pen aside, and the ink stains were slightly dry.
No one paid attention.
Because he was worried that she would kill herself with a sword, the owner of the house, Cui Luo, ordered all the swords, scissors and other items in the boudoir to be taken away. The small courtyard surrounding the west wing was also guarded by aide Zong Wanxiong and other experts in the mansion in turn to prevent her from leaving.
Being bored, Cui Wan could only hold up half a volume of "Landscape Theory" and read it one by one, falling into a drowsy state.
It was almost noon when a burst of hurried footsteps came straight into the courtyard. Cui Wan had already dozed for several times, and was awakened by the footsteps again. When he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Cui Da.
When Cui Da saw that she had stood up by the window, he raised his hands and saluted from a distance, saying, "Wish you the sixth Miss Jin'an." The old servant came over to inform him that Taoist priest Yue Xizi was here and returned the 'Chunxi Sword'.
There is a man named Pugu Xingde who defrauded you of the sword before, but now he has changed his ways, recovered the sword, and asked her to return it to its original owner."
"Where is Junior Sister Qin? Please come in and talk to her!" Cui Wan was surprised and happy. Just now, he was worried about Qin Qing's safety all morning, but now he found out that she had found her safely and sent the "Chunxi" back to her on behalf of others.
"Sword". Now we will introduce a narrative.
However, Cui Da cupped his hands and shook his head and said: "The master of the family has ordered that Miss Six is not allowed to see outsiders for the time being."
Cui Wan's happy face suddenly collapsed and said angrily: "How could dad do this! Can't even Junior Sister Qin trust me? Since she can't enter the backyard, then I will go to the front yard to see her!"
When Cui Da heard this, his expression changed slightly, he took a step to the left and blocked Cui Wan's path: "Sixth Miss, please be considerate of this old servant. If the master of the house finds out, my old bones will not be able to withstand the family's power!"
Cui Wanxiang dodged, shook Cui Da away, and ran out of the small courtyard. Several figures were seen running towards her, and they immediately surrounded her.
The leader was none other than Zong Wanxiong, a staff member of the Cui Mansion: "Sixth Miss, you don't have a blade in your hand, and you can defeat many enemies with one person, so you are definitely no match for us. According to what my servant said, you'd better save your energy and go back to your room to rest!"
Cui Wan's eyes widened: "Who dares to stop me today! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
When Zong Wanxiong and others heard this, they all burst into laughter. However, their feet had already been positioned according to the direction, forming a "Wonderful Dharma Lotus Array". Cui Wan's position was exactly in the middle of the "Lotus Platform".
Cui Wan shook his arms, used his hands as a spear, and used the "Spiritual Snake Transforms into a Dragon Spear" method. He put his palms together like blades, swung his arms like the wind, and attacked the people nearby first.
The man was used to fists and kicks, so he didn't take it seriously and stretched out his palm to block it. Unexpectedly, the slender hand that looked like mutton-fat white jade poked into the palm of his hand. He felt excruciating pain. When he pulled his hand away, he saw that a shallow hole had been stabbed in the palm of his hand.
A shallow blood hole. If her Taoist skills were not so weak, she would probably be able to punch it out.
Zong Wanxiong's pupils shrank, but he knew what he was doing. He knew that she had channeled her inner breath and integrated a dark energy into her fingers to achieve this miraculous effect. He hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, please don't overdo it! Miss Sixth Xiu
This is the Taoist sect’s authentic inner alchemy method, which is best at using softness to overcome hardness, and using weakness to attack strongness. The master of the family has an order, and as long as lives are not harmed, we can do our best to stop it."
Cui Wan also seemed to be really angry, and his attacks became more and more fierce, only attacking but not defending, leaving the door wide open. However, he forced several people in the formation to swing their swords repeatedly, so they could only bluff and did not dare to seriously chop at the vital points.
Zong Wanxiong was the closest, and he had several opportunities to bully her and catch her, but in the end he did not dare to go too far because of her womanhood.
Swords flew and swords flew, fists and kicks came and went. Everyone was able to fight around for a while, but the formations did not shrink but expanded. The distance between the staff became wider and wider, which made Cui Wan feel more and more like a fish in water. A beautiful shadow swam among them, shuttled freely,
It made everyone gasp for breath.
Just when she thought the formation was exhausted and she could try to break through, she saw a smiling, fat-headed monk standing in front of the moon gate of the small courtyard.
When Cui Wan saw this, he opened his mouth and yelled: "No monk! Get out of the way!"
"Amitabha! Where do you want Miss Six to go?" Monk Bujing asked with a smile.
"What does it have to do with you! If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for hurting you!" Cui Wan was now "gnashing his silver teeth to pieces, his face was pink and his face was red", and his voice was fierce in anger.
"I don't believe Miss Six can hurt me. Why don't you let go of your obsessions and be free?" The monk refused to give in, but still blocked the moon door and persuaded with a smile.
Cui Wan didn't want to waste any more time, stepped forward with lotus steps, and was already rushing towards him. His arms were as soft as boneless, like two snakes and pythons, drilling, inserting, wrapping, twisting, swinging, pressing, pounding...
The monk was poked at important points all over his body without going through them, but the method of poking the pulse and acupoints was used.
If the monk did not dodge or dodge, he would be like a wooden stake on the ground, allowing Cui Wan to poke and hit him repeatedly. One "gun flower" was as dense as rain, and the other remained motionless like a bell.
Cui Wan used several moves in a row, but except for the move that poked his eyes, he easily avoided it; the other moves all hit him firmly. However, the uninformed monk seemed to have no acupuncture points all over his body, and his green fingers "
The "tip of the spear" clearly hit the acupuncture point, but it was completely ineffective! Not only could it not block the movement of the meridians, it did not even feel pain.
Unexpectedly, the monk saw that her expression turned from anger to shock, and then from shock to depression, and then he smiled and said: "The golden Arhat is as strong as the Yang, with no flaws. The most fearless thing in this 'Iron Arhat Kung' is the world.
The method of cutting pulses and acupuncture points."
Cui Wan suddenly realized, but her heart was filled with despair, as if everyone was trying to make things difficult for her, forcing her to marry that libertine. Seeing that she had no hope of running out, she suddenly turned around, walked diagonally into the formation, and headed straight for the rockery.
And go.
Everyone was confused, but they didn't listen to the monk's urgent words: "Quickly stop Miss Six! She is afraid that she is going to commit suicide!"
Zong Wanxiong was the first to react and hurriedly chased after him, reaching out to stop him, but he was half a minute too late.
Cui Wan jumped up early, with a slender head, slim figure, messy black hair, and tears in his eyes, and he ran straight towards the rockery. He was about to die when he saw that a figure came out from behind the rockery and happened to block Cui Wan.
before.
Regardless of the monk, when Zong Wanxiong and others saw this, they all raised their hands and said in respect: "Master of the family!"
The person who came was none other than Cui Luo. With a wave of his sleeve and a brush of his big hand, he eliminated Cui Wan's momentum and took him into his arms.
When Cui Wan saw that it was his father, his anger immediately turned into full of grievance. While beating his hands, he cried: "Dad, my daughter hates you! My daughter hates you... 嘤嘤嘤... You lock your daughter here and you are not allowed to go anywhere.
If you go and don't let anyone see you, what's the difference between you and a prisoner?"
Cui Luo stroked her bun and said to everyone in the courtyard: "Let's all disperse! Zong Wanxiong, ask Cui Da to wait for me in the study."
Everyone agreed and stepped back one after another. Cui Luo then looked at Cui Wan in his arms and said seriously: "Wan'er, daddy knows that you hate me for beating up the mandarin ducks. But my Cui family has been passed down for several generations. Not only has it not declined, but it has
It is becoming more and more prosperous, do you know why?"
Cui Wan turned away, obviously unwilling to respond to this question. Cui Luo could only ask and answer, "That's because I, the Cui family, only marry each other with famous families, and never pay attention to the arrogance of poor families.
Several ethnic groups in the two capitals share the same spirit and share weal and woe. Even a saint would have to be wary of our ancestral families when making decisions.
Therefore, if people want to stand in the government and the public and realize their ambitions, how can they survive for a long time without the support of a noble family? You see, Li Taibai, a poet and swordsman, is the best in the world, but if he does not rely on the recommendation of celebrities, he will not marry powerful officials.
How can your family win the favor of a saint? And once you make a mistake, you will be discarded like worn out shoes, and your later life will be decadent, and it will only make people sigh!"
Cui Wan broke away from Cui Luo's arms and said with red and swollen eyes: "Dad, my daughter is tired, so she will go back to her room. You can keep these words of 'making things practical' for my five brothers!" After that,
Turn around and leave.
Cui Luo suddenly said: "Junior Sister Qin of yours said that because someone tricked you into taking the 'Chunxi Sword', you accepted that person's ultimatum. Now that the sword has been returned, the ultimatum should be returned to them!"
Cui Wan immediately turned around again: "Dad! Have you met Junior Sister Qin?"
Cui Luo nodded: "Although Qin is an imperial merchant, her family fortune has declined in a day because she offended the palace envoys recently. When I met her, I just missed the friendship between the two houses in the past."
Although Cui Wan wanted to ask more questions, he did not want to say more to his father. He just bowed curtly and went back to his boudoir.
Only a very loud sound of closing the door was left, echoing in the small courtyard.
