Smile and swing sword

Chi Shen rested for a few days, and the wound was barely visible. After applying the ointment, he raised his face and smiled: "Brother, this ointment for removing scars is really miraculous. It has such an effect in less than three days."

Xiang Tianyou was amused in his heart, and said out: "Don't you think that this thing can be bought at a pharmacy for a little money?"

Chi Shenyuan's face wrinkled, "Could it be that it's made of centuries-old spirit grass?"

"That's not really a big deal, it's just that the production of flowers and plants to make this ointment is very small, and usually the favored nobles in the palace can receive it as a rule in order to maintain their youth. Don't talk about this, just look at what it is."

Xiang Tianyou took a pair of wooden boxes, and opened them for Chi Shen to look at. Inside each wooden box was a piece of psychic jade, one of which was Dushan hibiscus, generally white and moist, only one end was dyed with hibiscus powder, and now carved I cut a section of white lotus root, divided into three sections, shaped like a baby's arm, white and tender, and a new lotus bloomed in the lotus root, and the dew dripped between the lotus root and lotus.

Another piece of millennium-old raw material is delicate and oily, with lotus leaves stacked next to each other, like a skirt, and a green carp with wagging tail protrudes from it, swaying layers of water waves.

"It's the jade I bought earlier, and it's finally carved!" Chi Shen picked it up and put it down, looking at it one by one, unable to put it down, "It's so beautiful!"

These two pieces of jade are very small, far from the best quality, but they have a very good meaning, and Xiang Tianyou is very satisfied after seeing it, and Chi Shen is also very happy.

"You and I are both ordinary people, and the only way to engrave your name is your own thing. It's because the master has a deep foundation, and he carved out the essence at once."

Chi Shen couldn't help nodding his head, he couldn't let go of any of them, and asked, "Brother, which one do I wear?"

Xiang Tianyou took the Dushan lotus root and hung it around Chi Shen's neck, and stuffed the jade into his collar: "The blue color is too old-fashioned and doesn't match your temperament. It's just right to bring this Dushan lotus root."

Chi Shen also picked up the green carp Millennium Pu, and straightened his back to hang it on Xiang Tianyou: "I heard that people and jade grow and support each other. Wearing it for a long time can help the Lord avoid disasters."

Xiang Tianyou felt a chill in his chest, it was the jade that slid down his skin, the Millennium Pu was much colder and harder than the Dushan Hibiscus, if Chi Shen wore it close to his body, it might not only fail to support him, but also damage his body.

The two looked at each other happily, smiled quietly, and suddenly heard Yuzhi calling softly in the outer room: "Fifth young master, young master, master invites you to Chunwu courtyard."

When Xiang Tianyou took Chi Shen into the hall of the main room in the courtyard, everyone was already there, waiting for the two of them.

After saluting, he sat down, and Xiang Dingtian said amidst the weeping and whimpering of the third aunt: "The fourth young master has not returned for three days. Last night, the mansion sent people to search for him in the places he often goes, but there is no one there. Man, it doesn't look easy."

When Chi Shen heard this, his face froze, and he thought that his brother could not escape the responsibility, so he couldn't help tightening his heart.

Xiang Dingtian glanced at the six directions, and immediately saw that something was wrong with him, his tone became seven points severe, he patted the arm of the wooden chair and shouted: "Xiang Xiaobao, do you have something to say?"

Chi Shen was aroused by his secretly mysterious voice, and almost jumped up from the chair, his scalp went numb for a while, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to look at the people around him.

Xiang Tianyou stood up abruptly and walked to the center of the hall, with an indescribably dignified expression and a third of annoyance: "Going back to father is all the fault of the child, I'm afraid the fourth brother is in danger now!"

The third aunt's crying stopped in the summer, her face showed disbelief, she covered her chest with shaking hands, and screamed: "Master!"

Xiang Dingtian didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he kept silent for the time being.

"Three days ago, it was the day Hai'er won the first place in the martial arts arena. Bao'er was waiting outside, but was taken away by a traitor. Go to the city to find wine to drink, catch up and save people."

Hearing this, Chi Shen hurriedly stood up, and then walked to Xiang Tianyou's side, "That's exactly the case, thinking about it now, I still feel scared."

"What kind of thief is so bold?"

Xiang Tianyou continued to reply: "My child really doesn't know, those people's kung fu is weird, and even the most powerful practitioners among the contenders for breaking the mysterious order are not their opponents. Three of the four guards invited died in a blink of an eye. Eldest brother can save Bao'er, but it's impossible to catch him. If father doesn't believe it, he can call someone to ask and investigate."

"It's such an important matter, how can you hide it and not report it!" Xiang Dingtian showed anger and was extremely dissatisfied.

"My boy is confused!" Xiang Tianyou immediately showed a guilty expression, very realistic, "Those thieves are so powerful, they are obviously veterans of the world, and they are at the critical moment of breaking the secret order, so my boy naturally misunderstood. Bao'er threatened me to hand over the Xuanxuan Order, now it seems that this group of people may have some grudge against the Xiang family?"

The third aunt was frightened immediately, she left Xiang Tianyou with her beautiful eyes, and looked at Xiang Dingtian, she didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore.

Xiang Dingtian's expression was uncertain, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he put down his words and said, "Please draw someone's face, and take it to the government for strict investigation!"

"Master... the fourth young master, is he all right?" Xiang Dingtian glanced at Third Auntie, and snorted coldly, "You just need to rest assured, no matter whether Tianjue is alive or dead, who would dare to commit crimes against Xiang Dingtian?" On the head, I will investigate to the end, and I will never let the thieves get away with it!"

Third Yiniang heard the word life and death, her body trembled, and she fell backwards. Fortunately, she was supported by the back of a chair, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and burst into tears.

When the two returned to the courtyard again, the rumor had spread among the maids and servants in the mansion. When Yuzhi saw Xiang Tianyou, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, trembling in the hot weather.

Xiang Tianyou looked amused, and asked people to follow into the outer room. After sitting down, he took a sip from the tea on the table, the temperature was moderate, and his lips and teeth were fragrant. "Your job is getting better and better."

Yuzhi's legs softened, and she plopped on the ground, scaring Chi Shen.

"Fifth Young Master, spare your life! The servants really didn't know about the Young Master's affairs that day!"

"Don't be nervous, get up and talk." Xiang Tianyou's tone was dull, neither happy nor angry, "I know it has nothing to do with you, otherwise I wouldn't have kept you."

Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but she still knelt and refused to get up: "Fifth young master is wise, but the slaves are stupid. If the master and wife ask, I'm afraid it's a clumsy tongue that said the wrong thing."

"Those thieves are people from the Jianghu with good kung fu. You passed out with a pain in the back of your head. You didn't hear anything, you didn't see anything, so what can you say wrong?"

"Thank you, Fifth Young Master, for your reminder, this servant knows."

"Yuzhi, you're smart, but it's a pity that you're just a little smart. You used to serve in the third aunt's courtyard."

"Yes, I only do some rough work in the small kitchen, and never go to the house to do anything."

"It's no wonder you don't have much experience...Yuzhi, the young master kindly reminded you that if you want to stand out among the maids, you need to learn more from the people in Chunwu Court. What can someone like San Yiniang do? It is true that Madam has blue eyes, and when I get older in the future, I may be able to point you to a good and wealthy family."

Yuzhi kowtowed again and again, tears streaming down to the ground, she was grateful: "Thank you fifth young master, young master! I don't want to think about anything, I just need to do the errands ordered by the two masters with peace of mind from now on."

After Yuzhi went down, Chi Shen looked around with a vigilant expression, and smiled at Tianyou: "What are you looking at?"

"Shh, brother, please speak softly, be careful that walls have ears."

Xiang Tianyou couldn't stop laughing, and pulled him to his side: "It's too late, it's all heard!"

When he said this, Chi Shen no longer took it seriously, blushed and said, "Brother only knows how to joke with me."

"Don't worry, no mouse can hide from your brother's ears, you can say whatever you want in this room."

"Brother, did you take Xiang Tianjue away?"

Xiang Tianyou didn't say yes or no, he just raised his eyebrows and looked at people with a smile, but Chi Shen knew it in his heart, and his face showed worry: "It's all right to fool others, even if it's difficult for Master Hou to deal with it."

"He's going to investigate it himself. If he finds out the cause and effect, he won't say anything. Besides, I don't want to ask God for my life. I should let him go back tomorrow. As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die, as long as his life is safe. , the people involved will have a lot of scruples, and they will not let go of their hands and feet to fight with us."

Chi Shen's mind was in a mess, and many questions kept turning around, and he asked angrily: "What happened to him, brother? And that old thief, how should we deal with it?"

"Hmph, that old bastard, even a hundred deaths can't solve the hatred in my heart. I wanted to kill all the people in his village at once, but Wu Yun said that the crimes he committed were not known to anyone in the family. The children and grandchildren pay off, the Cheng family's reputation is once bad, and it is impossible to live a happy life in the future."

Chi Shen was not proficient in this way, and he couldn't intervene, thinking about waiting to wait and see after Xiang Tianjue returned to the mansion.

At this time, Xiang Tianjue was screaming for help in a dark water prison, his breath was like gossamer, he hadn't eaten for three days, his stomach was tight with hunger, his two arms were shaped like soft surfaces, vainly clinging to the slippery wall, his lower body was completely immersed In the icy water surrounded by stone walls, he shouted intermittently for a while, his eyes went dark, and he fell into the water.

Hearing movement from above, he looked in through an open skylight, and then a voice rang out: "I fainted, just drain the water with the cork."

When the water cleared, the three strong men went down into the dungeon one by one. Xiang Tianjue, who was lying on the ground with his toes kicked, sneered and said, "I can't take it anymore. Hurry up and carry it to Xiang Tianjue while I'm still warm." Go to the gate of the mansion so that our brothers can leave the capital at night."

That night, the servant who was on guard at night was startled by a muffled bang, and the drowsy bugs flew away. He hurried out to look, and saw his fourth young master lying outside the door with a pale face. Go, except for a few wind noises, I can't even see a ghost...

"Master, you have to make the decision for the fourth young master. The doctor said that he was injured by the cold water. He may not be humane, and his legs and feet are also broken. What should we do in the future?"

Xiang Dingtian was disturbed by the third aunt, and his tone was quite impatient: "Then let the doctor take good care of you! It will get better soon, and you have only been watching for a few days. Cry like mourning!"
