Knight line GL

In the afternoon of this day, Steward Xing hurried over from the front yard.

Qin Gutong has just finished practicing the saber, and the horizontal saber in his hand has not yet returned to its sheath.

"Hurry up, Eldest Young Master is looking for you." Seeing that she was not moving, Steward Xing stretched out his hand anxiously to pull her.Qin Gutong didn't move, but stepped back half a foot, just avoiding the hand in charge, and sheathed the knife.

Steward Xing was taken aback for a moment, he is the military steward of the mansion, with 20 years of hard work.Today, the little girl who was sixteen or seventeen was thrown off her horse, how could he keep his face.His eyebrows sank, and instead of withdrawing his outstretched hand, his veins were exposed and he thrust forward violently, still grabbing Qin Gutong's arm.

Qin Gutong didn't do it on purpose, it's just the habit of martial arts practitioners.However, Manager Xing made a sudden attack, so she naturally wanted to avoid it.On one side of her body, Steward Xing swept across her arms.

Qin Gutong's spirit sank to his dantian, and roots took root under his feet.Fold your knees and lean back.Xing Guanshi's move failed, and Qin Gutong stood up straight like Bai Yang.

Seeing this, Steward Xing was even more determined to win or lose.He turned his hands into palms, hit Qin Gutong's shoulder with the left, and locked her arm with the right.Kick out your right leg and hook her back knee backwards.Up, middle and down, it is absolutely impossible for Qin Gutong to avoid it.

She raised her breath and put her foot on Steward Xing's left leg.With this force, he turned over in the air.In mid-air, the horizontal saber scabbard struck Steward Xing's arm.When she landed, she was already seven feet away.

"Steward Xing, don't keep Eldest Young Master waiting." Qin Gutong cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Steward Xing looked at the back of his hand, and suddenly laughed out loud, his body trembling as he laughed, as if he heard a big joke.Then he let out a long breath, cupped his fists and saluted: "The frog at the bottom of the well doesn't know that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers around him, making Miss Qin laugh. Please!"

Seeing his sincerity, Qin Gutong felt admiration.He bowed his hands in return, without making a gesture, and walked towards the front yard.

"Why is the young master looking for me? I always thought the young master was in the village at the foot of the mountain." Qin Gutong asked as he walked.She had been in Fang Mansion for ten years, and Fang Xing had never looked for her.It stands to reason that he should be busy with the Dragon Pill Conference now.

Listening to her question, Steward Xing couldn't help worrying when he thought of the big man at the foot of the mountain, so he said, "A distinguished guest came two days ago, and the young master arranged him in the villa at the foot of the mountain."

What does that have to do with me?Qin Gutong thought.

She thought for a while, and then asked: "Boss Xing, I've always been in the library, and I don't understand many things in the mansion. Please give me some pointers."

After hearing this, Guanshi Xing could only smile wryly: "Miss Qin, I'm not trying to shirk, I really don't know what's going on." He suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice, "Last night, the young master and the young madam had a quarrel and slept in the study. Today I received a letter and hurriedly asked me to find you."

quarrel?letter?

If asked about the content of the letter, even if Guanshi Xing knew it, he would not say it.Qin Gutong frowned, and then stretched out: "I see. Speaking of which, I saw the young lady yesterday afternoon. I have been in the mansion all these years, and it is rare to see the lady. She is really beautiful. No wonder the young master has never It's really enviable not to mess with flowers and grass."

"Haha, Miss Qin, with your looks and martial arts, it's good that you are in our residence, otherwise the wild bees and butterflies in the rivers and lakes will probably annoy you to death."

Qin Gutong didn't care about what he said at all, and just asked along the topic: "Then, the young master was also the young lady's wild bee and wave butterfly back then?"

"Ah?" Steward Xing looked at her in confusion, shook his head and said, "Although the young lady is from the Tan family in Yingtan, she does not know martial arts and has never walked around the rivers and lakes. Before the young master and the young lady got married, they had never met each other. .”

Now it was Qin Gutong's turn to be surprised, and she hurriedly asked: "The Tan family in Yingtan? The young lady's surname is Tan? No, it can't be an adopted daughter or something."

Now Steward Xing was completely confused, and he couldn't laugh or cry and said to her: "Miss Qin, where did you hear the rumors. The young lady and the young master got married, and I accompanied the housekeeper to Yingtan to propose a marriage, and I managed it alone. That scene was really, light The wedding cakes sprinkled along the river weighed three thousand catties, so there is no doubt about it.”

Qin Gutong only felt that his head was not enough.

Before she could figure it out, Steward Xing had already led her around the lotus pond, crossed the curved bridge, and led her directly into the study.

Qin Gutong cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the young master."

She was full of doubts in her heart, and couldn't help raising her eyes to look at Fang Xing.I haven't seen him for a few days, Fang Xing has a short beard growing on his chin, it looks like he has grown a lot last year.And for a man in his first year, his face is not fading and the years have accumulated.What's more, wealth and honor support people, power nourishes the heart, and the faint melancholy between the brows is even more attractive.

Fang Xing felt displeasure when he noticed her gaze, but his expression was not clear.He is the young master of the Fang family, so many women want to climb into his bed.He raised his hand to screen Steward Xing away, glanced at Qin Gutong, and pulled out a letter.

"Send it to the valley." For the first time in so many years, he said that place from his mouth.It was as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, making his speech slurred.

Qin Gutong was surprised, stepped forward to take the envelope with both hands, paused and turned to leave, but Fang Xing said behind him: "Hurry up."

"Yes."

Qin Gutong immediately rushed to the house with the letter in his arms.After closing the door, her chest was still throbbing wildly.The letter was hot in her arms, forcing her to take it out.She pinched the corner of the envelope, lifted it up to the sun and took a picture.The envelopes used by Fangfu are very good, not only thick but also sprinkled with gold.

Standing behind the door and waiting for a moment, no one followed.Qin Gutong breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door, and walked quickly into the library.Inserting the brass key into the keyhole, one door after another, she walked to the innermost room of the library.

The sound of the bookshelf moving away was familiar yet unfamiliar.Qin Gutong went down to the secret room, one, two, three, four... 110 three steps, the iron gate stood in front of him.Flicking the special key with his fingertips, Qin Gutong slowly inserted it into the keyhole.In the quiet dark passage, there was a small harsh sound.

No matter how careful Qin Gutong was, the harsh sound of pushing open the iron door still echoed in the secret passage unavoidably.Scratching the corner of the wall like a cat's claws, rubbing against an iron pan like a spatula makes people's gums soft and scalp numb, and they want to kick the iron door away.

Qin Gutong hastily locked the iron gate and ran into the valley.When she ran to Aunt Ci's courtyard, she found that no one seemed to be there.

"Aunt Ci?" Qin Gutong called out tentatively.

She waited for a moment, no one paid attention.

Qin Gutong pushed open the fence door and walked to the main room.There was something strange under her feet, she lowered her head and raised her feet to see that a white jade ear was half buried in the soil.Qin Gutong was shocked, and quickly reached out to push the door open.There is no lock on the wooden door, and it opens with a push.

"Squeak."

The wooden door was half opened, and Qin Gutong stood outside the door dumbfounded.

Splendid laying, emerald red array.Completely different from the simplicity of the wooden house, the furnishings in the house can be described as magnificent and jeweled.It was originally just a wooden house for shelter from the wind and rain, but when the door was opened, it became the Bei Que Zhu Palace in an instant.The night pearls of the South China Sea are inlaid on the roof, and even in the daytime, the rays of light flow, and the auspicious atmosphere is faint.There is a lacquer-carved rouge box under the wooden table with crooked legs, and the word 'Runshui' is faintly written on the side.There is a mirror inlaid with gold and crystal on the wooden table, the dowry is wide open, gold hairpins with cloud and phoenix patterns, gold bracelets with peony and phoenix patterns, golden phoenix steps with beads inlaid with precious silk, flower hairpins with white jade inlaid with emerald tourmalines...ears with phoenix steps, jade guides Gold grates covered the table.

Qin Gutong was so shocked that he was afraid of stepping on the dirty carpet.Leaning over to look in, through the painted powder and silver wall, you can vaguely see the embroidered quilt, but you can't see anyone.The Baoya smoker stands alone on the ground, and the cigarette smoke is slanting.

Looking at the various gold, silver and jade jewelry randomly thrown on the velvet silver carpet, Qin Gutong slowly closed the door.She stood outside the door and meditated, brushing the horizontal knife on the back of her waist with her fingers, then turned and walked southeast.

The distant mountains seem to be tilted, covering the sun.The cold wind passed through the forest, rustling.Fortunately, there was a faint fragrance, and Qin Gutong's brows slightly relaxed.In recent days, many things have disturbed her.Walking on the quiet path at this moment, the green hills are faintly scented with sandalwood.The irritability in my heart subsided, and I suddenly felt a sense of being out of this world.

Take a deep breath in meditation, and all troubles are swept away.

The footsteps trod the grass with ease.Through a bamboo forest.Not long after looking at the row of brick houses on the high ground, Qin Gutong turned his gaze to the low-lying place on one side.But I saw a figure walking into that lonely big house.

Apricot blouse with engraved musk gold skirt and dogwood belt embroidered with butterflies and red silk.Although it was just a glance, Qin Gutong could see clearly.The person who went in was Aunt Ci, but the clothes were too bright.Gu Tong froze for a moment before realizing it.What is Aunt Ci doing here dressed up?

Qin Gutong was baffled, and after thinking about it, he was still puzzled.

She was afraid that the house had been in disrepair for a long time, and the tiles on the roof could not help being stepped on.But looking in through the cracks in the windows and doors, it is unavoidably easy for people to notice.With some calculations in her mind, she raised her breath quietly and tapped her toes.An afterimage flashed by, and Qin Gutong was already at the side of the house.Without hesitation, she held the key chain around her waist with one hand and the horizontal knife with the other.He squatted slightly, then jumped up and landed firmly on the ridge of the roof.

The surrounding fields were silent, only the singing of birds and beasts, Qin Gutong withdrew his gaze, and slowly bent down.The palm brushed across the rows of black tiles in front of him, stopped on a loose tile, and slowly lifted it up.

There was a movement in the room, followed by Aunt Ci's voice.

Qin Gutong leaned over and looked down.
