Smile and swing sword

After the banquet was over, everyone left separately. It was getting late, the maidservants of Qiutao Court lit the lamps in the room, followed by a smaller one, holding a thin quilt, and were about to go to the back room, when Xiang Tianyou called to stop her .

"Why only one quilt, the young master's?"

Although the maid holding the quilt was young, she didn't panic in dealing with the world, and explained word by word: "Go back to the fifth young master, wait for the main room to pack up the sleeping couch, and then go to the side room to take care of the sixth young master."

"No need, just bring another quilt and put it on my bunk."

"This..." The servant girl had never heard of the reason that the two young masters lived in the same room, and she didn't know whether to persuade or obey.

"Whatever Fifth Young Master tells you, do it." There was a rebuke from the door, the sound was like the tinkling of pearls and jade, and then a person came in, followed by two male servants, their hands were full of large and small wooden boxes.

When Chi Shen heard the words, he turned his head, and saw a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, smiling and waving her hands to let people put things on the table. She wore a lotus-colored satin shirt, and a gouache skirt underneath. The autumn water is still clear, and he is three points more beautiful than He Shouqing. It makes people's hearts jump when they see it, and then they hear her say: "Since you are assigned to Qiutao Courtyard, you must remember to do your duties first, and hesitate to do small things." , why don't I report back to Madam and send you to the backyard to do rough work!"

This pretty girl is none other than An Su's personal servant girl Qi Ling who has spiritual roots.

The maid was reprimanded by Qi Ling and bowed back with a pale face.

"I've seen the Fifth Young Master and the Sixth Young Master. I'm sorry to bother you. It's just that Madam misses you two, and specially asked me to come over and tidy up the things."

Xiang Tianyou saw that her steps were light and nimble, and she hadn't paid attention to it during the banquet just now, but now she was intriguing, so he took a good look at her.

Qi Ling opened the lid of the box, took out the things and gave a rough explanation, then stepped back, walked five steps towards Tianyou, but suddenly twisted her slender waist, flicked her fingers, and shot green hairs at His appearance!

Xiang Tianyou seemed to have expected it a long time ago, he waved his sleeves calmly and knocked down all the hidden weapons, Chi Shen could only hear the sound of ding ding, and looked down, a piece of green needles were nailed into the edge of the table in all directions At the corner of the stool, I couldn't help feeling cold behind my back, raised my eyebrows in anger, and shouted: "You are so courageous! Who ordered you?"

Qi Ling showed no signs of fear, instead she giggled: "Sixth Young Master, there is no need to be nervous, it's just that this servant wants to learn Fifth Young Master's best tricks. Now that I see it, it's really amazing!"

Xiang Tianyou smiled playfully: "Madam is so capable, with the appearance of a fairy bone, she can be accepted as a maid."

"Madam is kind-hearted, and she has saved my life. This servant has agreed to a ten-year contract. My trick of pine forest light rain, even if the young master is unprepared, cannot completely avoid it. I should praise you." The Fifth Young Master is well-prepared, or should it be said that your innate profound arts are far superior to the Eldest Young Master?"

"The way I see it, it's a bit of both."

When Qi Ling heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then stopped trying to hide it, and laughed repeatedly: "Xiang Tianyou, fifth young master! I haven't seen someone as interesting as you for a long time, and I think the days after coming here will be much more fun. "

"Miss Qi is so natural and unrestrained. Life is not for living, but for playing. It doesn't matter if you enjoy the world by yourself, but if you continue to be as unruly as today, I don't care whether you are tempting or asking for advice. You must have a long memory. You are mere innate eightfold, An Su and Xiang Tianchong think highly of you, but not enough to be arrogant like me!"

Xiang Tianyou broke Qi Ling's realm with a single word, which caused her complexion to change drastically, and she blurted out: "How do you know? Could it be that you have..." He stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, turned his head to look outside the door, and withdrew his eyes He said in a low voice, "It turned out that Qi Ling was offended because she didn't know Taishan with her eyes. I already knew what happened today. I should go back after the maidservant delivered the things."

After Xiang Tianyou nodded, Qi Ling hurried into the night.

As soon as Chi Shen saw the people leave, he quickly squatted down to look at those green needles, crushed them with his hand, and was shocked: "Brother, these are pine needles!"

It was rare for Xiang Tianyou to see him making a fuss, and he showed his face with joy: "That's so strange, if a person without spiritual roots can practice Kung Fu to the acquired Dzogchen, he can also reach the innate state of blowing autumn hairs and shooting dust. She They are already in the eighth level of congenital realm, using profound energy to stimulate pine needles is easy."

"I never imagined that a little maid next to Madam would have such power. The capital is indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, but I have never even practiced kung fu. How will I gain a foothold in the future?"

"You don't need to be discouraged, like Qi Ling who looks at Xuanyuan is considered top-notch, and Xiang Tianchong is only eightfold, do you think you can find such a fierce maid anywhere?"

Chi Shen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought: "She looks only three or four years older than me, but Xiang Tianchong has already reached the crown. According to this calculation, she is far stronger than Xiang Tianchong! No wonder she acts so arrogantly , it turns out that she has such courage and talent. But from what she said, my brother is much more powerful. Looking at it this way, she can only be regarded as a mediocre match for my brother..."

"This person is so arrogant at such a young age. I'm afraid he is fascinated by the ability in front of him. If my brother wants to associate with her, he needs to think carefully."

Xiang Tianyou couldn't stop laughing: "No...why do I have to communicate with her again, what are you thinking all day long?" While speaking, he pulled him up to protect him behind him, his sleeves were rolled up and scattered in the The pine needles everywhere suddenly trembled slightly, and there were two whizzing sound of piercing through the air, and they shot back backwards, being held in the palm of Xiang Tianyou's hand.

Chi Shen couldn't move his eyes away, envious and sighed: "If I can take the Creation Pill sooner, I'll have one more day to practice..."

"There is no need to rush this matter. Let's rest tonight. I will discuss it with my father some other day."

......

"You want to borrow Danfang to take a look?" Xiang Dingtian stopped writing and looked towards Tianyou, "It's for your little brother."

"That's your adopted son too."

Xiang Dingtian waved his hand: "I'll forget it, it's just to give him a legitimate identity to walk in the mansion, I didn't take it seriously, are you pushing an inch?"

Xiang Tianyou took two steps in the study without being in a hurry or annoyed: "Father is serious, what I want, I will naturally give out the corresponding things in exchange."

"Okay," Xiang Dingtian asked with a playful look, "Then what can you give in exchange?"

"The Contest for Breaking the Profound Order is coming up, and the top winner can get three tokens. I will not hold back any of them, and give them all with both hands."

Xiang Dingtian was moved, but he snorted and said, "I, Xiang Family, was able to gain a foothold in the royal capital. I have contributed a lot to the alchemy formula. I have always only passed it on to the Patriarch. If I let you know the details just for the sake of a few mysteries-breaking decrees, wouldn't it be good?" Isn't it the same as killing the chicken and taking the eggs, and the gain outweighs the loss?"

"If father is worried about this, then I can settle for the next best thing. As long as you can help me make the elixir, everything is easy to say. The medicinal materials are precious, and the price is all on my head."

"You are quite rich now, and the materials needed for the Creation Pill, even in the imperial court, are reluctant to waste it."

"Father, you don't need to frame me. What's the use of Good Fortune Pill? The Book of Changes cuts the marrow. However, people who don't have spiritual roots innately and need to obtain them in this way are obscene if they barely obtain aptitude. Everyone values ​​​​profit, and most of them are reluctant. And now I The use of it really reflects the original intention of our ancestors to try a hundred herbs to create a prescription, but for one person, no utility is considered!"

Xiang Dingtian didn't expect him to say such a thing, he was silent for a while, and finally said: "Three breaking mysteries, plus a promise, I know you have broken the innate barrier, and now you are forcing the Xuangong to ten Chongtian, when you enter the Cangshan Precious Pond, don’t forget the disciples of Gu Quanxiang’s family.”

"Do my best. The child will leave first and wait for the good news from his father." Xiang Tianchi retreated two steps, turned and walked out.Xiang Dingtian's face was dark and his eyes were floating. When he was about to open the door, he suddenly asked, "How much do you know about your mother?"

Xiang Tianyou paused without looking back, and said in a deep voice, "I know more than you."

Xiang Dingtian's heart was shaken, and he stood up suddenly, with a complicated expression: "Really?"

"Father," Xiang Tianyou sighed and answered irrelevant questions, "As long as I stay in Xuanyuan for a day, I will still call you Father for a day. When I go to Jiyuan, the past will be like a cloud of smoke, and the relationship will be cleared. To you and me It's all luck."

After saying this, Xiang Tianyou didn't intend to stay any longer, and went out as soon as he opened the door.

......

Xiang Tianyou went to Xiang Dingtian to discuss things, Chi Shen didn't want to be like a girl in the Qiutao courtyard, so he brought Daozong, a maid and a servant from the courtyard for a stroll in the garden, Linchi, Before entering the garden, he bumped into the second young master Xiang Tianhong and the fourth young master Xiang Tianjue, sighing bad luck in his heart.

These two people were born of the same mother and compatriots to the third aunt. Chi Shen had already seen how Xiang Tianjue made things difficult at the welcome banquet. At that time, with Xiang Dingtian's thunderous majesty, he did not dare to act presumptuously. Now he is alone , everything is hard to say.

This meeting on a narrow road should be a coincidence, Chi Shen saw the surprised expression on Xiang Tianjue's face, and then turned into a malicious smile, called Sixth Brother, and stopped him.

Chi Shen also took advantage of the opportunity to call someone, and stood aside to make way, and the other party would naturally not just leave like this, as expected.

"Where is Sixth Brother going?"

"If the weather is fine, go for a walk in the forest garden."

Xiang Tianjue sneered: "The forest garden is full of famous flowers and rare plants. Although it is expensive, I am tired of looking at it. However, the sixth brother and the fifth brother are wandering outside, and the life is hard. What they see are ordinary flowers and common plants. I should like it." Those ones."

"If you want to think like this, fourth brother, you are really wrong. The beauty of nature is all-encompassing. The rare species I have seen may not be able to fit in this small forest garden."

Xiang Tianjue was trying to satirize Chi Shen's shabbiness, but Chi Shen countered his narrow vision. He was a person who could bear it, but when he thought that these guys had made things difficult for Xiang Tianyou, he couldn't help but feel angry, and he didn't want to let it go.

"You don't mean what you say, if you really look down on me so much, then drag your good brother out of this mansion! It's not that you can't live a hard life, and you ran back desperately, so forget about Xiang Tianyou, are you Clinging to anything on a pole is shameless!"

This kind of person makes Chi Shen feel disgusted by calling him brother, and immediately said coldly: "Fourth young master's words are wrong. Brother's ability may not be worthy of the power of the Xiang family, but it is just because of the deep love between father and son." It's hard to give up, so I just came back. Besides, I am the adopted son that my father has publicly recognized, and you keep saying that you look down on me, do you want to be punished again?"
