Sheng Yue Visits

Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before Yuan Ying and Lin Wei were to get married.

Yuan Ying is going to get married from Su Mansion, and everything is ready here. The last time Liandong got married from here, brothers Qi Yan and Qi Jun already had a lot of experience in preparing for marriages. And the next thing to do should be the marriage between Nangong Qian and Qi Yan, just waiting for Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing's grandparents to return to Beijing.

Children are always the happiest at times like this. Ji Xiaoshu rode on Yuanye's neck, hung the last red lantern on a high branch, clapped her hands and said happily, "Okay!"

Yuanye put Ji Xiaoshu down and leaned over to give him a high-five.

Hearing Ji Xiaoshu say, "Uncle Xiaoye is awesome!" Yuanye narrowed his eyes with joy.

Zheng'er ran over with Gu Ling's freshly fried fish pieces. The three of them went to the pavilion by the lake and quickly finished eating. Yuan Ye got up and ran out of the pavilion with an empty plate, "I'll get another plate from the beauty brother." !”

Ji Xiaoshu turned around and sat with his back to the stone table. He looked up at the floating clouds in the sky through the eaves of the pavilion and sighed, "It's already the twelfth lunar month and the New Year will soon be coming. Why hasn't my father come back yet?" If you don’t come back, I will call Master daddy!”

Zheng'er knew that although Ji Xiaoshu complained about Ji Yuebai every day, he actually cared about him. Ji Yuebai had been out for so long, and Ji Xiaoshu was worried about him, but the way he expressed it was rather strange.

Zheng'er comforted Ji Xiaoshu, "Maybe I'll be back tomorrow. There's still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year, so just wait."

"Didn't you hear what Master and Mistress said? That big bad guy Sheng Yue has probably gone to the north. If he meets my father, he will definitely arrest him!" Ji Xiaoshu frowned.

Zheng'er looked serious, "You can't think like that. If you say that, everyone in the north will be in danger. In my opinion, that Sheng Yue is very smart. If he needs hostages, he can arrest them here later without the need for a boss. Yuan has brought the hostage here. Besides, your master is very strong in martial arts, so he will protect your father."

"Elder brother, what you said makes sense! But my father is not an ordinary person after all. Although I always say that he is no longer an important person, what if he is very important in the eyes of the bad guy?" Ji Xiaoshu sighed, "Really, run away Why are you so far away? Even if I have my master and my wife to take care of me, he still has to take care of his brother."

Ji Xiaoshu's stepmother gave birth to a younger brother for him. Although he didn't like to get close to that stepmother, he still loved his younger brother. He would occasionally go back to Prince Yan's Mansion to see his younger brother. Even the last time, when he went back three days ago, he saw his stepmother. He also said that if you encounter any trouble, you can come to the Su Mansion and notify him. At that time, Ji Yuebai's step-brother couldn't help but laugh, rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's head and said yes. Ji Xiaoshu ran away.

"Then... how about we go to Huguo Temple to pray for your father? Ask Bodhisattva to bless your father to come back safely!" Zheng'er thought for a while and said.

Ji Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, "Okay, it's still early, let's go now. Find Master and ask him to accompany us!"

At this moment, Yuanye ran over while eating a second plate of fried fish.

Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu left the pavilion, and the three of them shared the delicious fried fish nuggets and rushed to the kitchen.

It's been a while now, and it's not lunch time yet, but Yuanye fell in love with Gu Ling's fried fish after eating it last time, and kept pestering Gu Ling when he got up this morning to say he wanted to eat it.

"Master, master, take us to Huguo Temple!" Ji Xiaoshu hugged Gu Ling's leg.

Gu Ling picked up Ji Xiaoshu and threw it to the door, then took out the last piece of fried fish from the oil pan.

"Master, Xiaoshu is worried about his father and wants to go to Huguo Temple to pray." Zheng'er told the whole story.

Gu Ling glanced at Ji Xiaoshu and said, "I don't believe it."

Ji Xiaoshu coughed lightly and said, "Master, I have nothing to do at home anyway."

"What do I have to do with you when I'm free?" Gu Ling asked back.

Ji Xiaoshu fully understood what Gu Ling meant, covered his face and said loudly, "Yes, I miss my dad! Okay?"

Gu Ling hit Ji Xiaoshu on the head with the handle of the spatula, "At a young age, I always say what I mean, and I need to change it."

"Didn't I learn everything from Master? Master obviously likes me, but he doesn't admit it!" Ji Xiaoshu's face was arrogant.

"One of the biggest illusions in life is that others like you." Gu Ling thought of a joke Su Liang shared before.

Ji Xiaoshu was just a little disappointed when he heard Gu Ling continue to say, "But this is not an illusion, just a little bit."

Zheng'er smiled, "What about me?"

"More than small trees." Gu Ling said.

Ji Xiaoshu shook his head, "I don't believe it!"

Yuanye also joined in the fun, "What about me? Does the beauty brother like me?"

"Same as them." Gu Ling said.

Yuanye happily hugged both Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu, "Let's go to Huguo Temple!"

Gu Ling brought the fried fish pieces to Su Liang. She was discussing treatment plans for Yuan Ye with Wen Ming. Several solutions have been proposed before and are still being improved.

After hearing that Gu Ling said that he would take the children to Huguo Temple, Su Liang asked him to borrow the medical books from Master Puhui by the way. Su Liang and Gu Ling had read it before and returned it, but they were too busy to copy it. Now Wen Ming wants to take a look.

This time Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu did not ride horses. One rode with Gu Ling and the other sat in front of Yuanye. Although Yuan Ye is as smart as a child, he can ride a horse and do martial arts, and his skills are not low. As long as he doesn't speak, he looks like a handsome young man.

Arriving at Huguo Temple, Gu Ling accompanied the children to burn incense, and then went to find the abbot Pu Hui.

Pu Hui readily agreed to borrow the book and asked how Cheng Yun was doing.

Gu Ling said Chengyun went to Jiaye City, and now everything is fine. He will come back after finishing his work.

Puhui sighed, "That child is destined to be with you. Please take good care of him in the future. He has a simple mind and it is difficult for him to distinguish good from evil."

Gu Ling nodded slightly and said goodbye.

He went to the Sutra Library to get the book, and took the children to the back mountain to see the sea of ​​clouds. He took a few vegetarian dishes in the temple and went down the mountain.

...

Su Mansion.

Nangong Qian took Yuan Ying around the mansion to see the layout of various places. The house, which was originally too spacious but sparsely populated and seemed a little cold, is now decorated with festive atmosphere everywhere. The couplets were written by Gu Ling and the children, and even the characters for "happiness" were cut by them by hand, with various fonts. Some of the paper-cuts posted on the windows were quite complicated and delicate, all from Gu Ling's hand.

Yuan Ying looked at it and sighed. Su Liang said that Gu Ling was clever and skillful, which was really true. She thought of the cold and taciturn Gu Ling she first met. At first glance, there was not much difference between him and Gu Ling now, but in fact, he had changed a lot in both behavior and speech, and became warmer and warmer. Yuan Ying felt that this was all due to Su Liang.

Nangong Qian also liked these things. Although they were basically all there when Ren Dong got married, she and Qi Yan were not engaged at that time. Now they are engaged and are embroidering wedding clothes. When she saw these things, her mood was different.

The two walked to the gate and saw the brothers Qi Yan and Qi Jun coming from another direction. They were going out to the restaurant to confirm the ingredients for tomorrow. Now the ingredients of the Su Mansion are basically supplied by Wanjia Restaurant.

Nangong Qian and Qi Yan smiled at each other, and Qi Yan asked her if she wanted to go together.

Qi Jun smiled, "Sure, big brother, take big sister-in-law, I'll go find Jindong."

Nangong Qian quickly declined, "I don't understand this either."

Yuan Ying smiled and pushed her, "Go and see and you'll understand."

Just when Qi Jun was about to turn around and go back, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the gate. Thinking that Gu Ling and the others had returned, he hurried over to open the door.

But when Qi Jun and Qi Yan pushed the gate open, they saw Ji Yuebai instead of Gu Ling and the children.

Qi Jun laughed, "If the prince doesn't come back, Xiaoshu will run to find you."

Ji Yuebai got off the horse with a smile on his face, "Really? Did Xiaoshu say he missed me? I don't believe it."

"I didn't say it before, but I missed you so much today. I was also worried that you would be captured by Sheng Yue, so we asked the prince to take him to the Huguo Temple to pray for blessings." Qi Yan said.

Ji Yuebai was surprised, "Really? Haha! My son has really grown up! Have they not returned from Huguo Temple yet?"

"Not yet, they should be soon. Do you want to come in and wait, or go back to Prince Yan's Mansion first?" Qi Jun asked.

"Come in and wait, and then bring Xiaoshu back to the mansion. Is there a wedding in your mansion? Who is getting married?" Ji Yuebai asked.

Yuan Ying said, "Lin Qi and I." But her eyes passed Ji Yuebai and fell on a man who was still on the horse behind him.

"Congratulations! I guess you are Su Liang's sister Yuan!" Ji Yuebai said, turning around and greeting the people behind him, "Brother Cheng, come down, we're here, I'll take you to see Doctor Su."

When the man got off the horse, Yuan Ying looked at his right arm with the sleeve hanging down, and his right hand was empty and swaying in the wind. His eyes condensed, and he reached out and pulled out Qi Jun's sword. He turned around and put the sword on the man's neck!

Ji Yuebai was startled, and Qi Yan and Qi Jun also reacted and found that the man was not right.

"Do you know him?" Ji Yuebai didn't know what was going on.

Yuan Ying grabbed the man's right arm, but there was no hand. She snorted coldly, "Sheng Yue, you are so bold that you actually came to my door in broad daylight!"

Ji Yuebai and his master who was standing beside him in a protective posture both changed their expressions. They knew the name Sheng Yue, but had never seen him, and they didn't know that Gu Ling had cut off one of Sheng Yue's hands. That happened after Ji Yuebai left Beijing and went north.

The man who claimed to be named Cheng Mingfeng was met by Ji Yuebai on his way back. This time he really ran into the remnants of the Situ royal family. On the way back, he was chased for half a month. There were many masters in that group. Once in a dangerous situation, Cheng Feng ran into them and helped them, and thus they got to know each other.

Cheng Feng claimed to have a strange disease and was going to Beijing to find Doctor Su. Ji Yuebai didn't trust him at first and didn't go with him, but they met twice later and talked quite well, so they went together.

At this moment, the man who called himself Chengfeng to Ji Yuebai was held on the neck by Yuan Ying with a sword. His expression did not change, and he said four words with his thin lips, "I am Sheng Yue."

Ji Yuebai's heart sank! He almost let the wolf into the house! But then he thought something was wrong. According to Sheng Yue's intelligence, his hands could not be hidden at all. He should have known that he would be exposed as soon as he entered the Su Mansion. He followed Ji Yuebai in broad daylight. With his martial arts, he had a chance to avoid Yuan Ying's attack, but he did not move at all, and did not pretend at this moment. Something was wrong.

Yuan Ying also sensed something was wrong and said coldly, "Don't tell me you are here to surrender?"

Sheng Yue shook his head, "Su Liang and Gu Ling asked me to come to discuss cooperation."

Ji Yuebai stared, "Did you approach me on purpose?"

Sheng Yue shook his head again, "It was just a coincidence. Saving you can show my sincerity in coming here."

Qi Jun frowned, "You haven't even sent Yan Shiba back, what sincerity can you say?"

"She's behind." Sheng Yue said, "I just wanted to come here earlier."

Qi Yan had already run away to inform Su Liang.

Just when Yuan Ying was about to take Sheng Yue into the door, the sound of horse hooves was heard again not far away.

Ji Yuebai looked over and saw a little kid sitting on a horse waving to him, "Dad!"

Ji Yuebai looked happy and ran to meet him. Gu Ling grabbed Ji Xiaoshu and threw him over.

At the same time, Gu Ling also saw the person held hostage by Yuan Ying, and recognized Sheng Yue from his figure.

While dismounting, Gu Ling asked Yuanye to take Zheng'er into the house first. Ji Yuebai also carried Ji Xiaoshu into the gate to prevent Sheng Yue from hurting the child due to sudden violence. It is not impossible for Sheng Yue to break away from Yuan Ying's hold.

"Xiao Gu, you came back just in time. He said you invited him to discuss cooperation, and Yan Shiba is behind." Yuan Ying said to Gu Ling.

Gu Ling had opened his purse, took out a pill and handed it to Sheng Yue, "Take it. Or, I'll kill you."

With Yuan Ying and Gu Ling, Sheng Yueke, who was missing one hand, had little chance of escaping.

Sheng Yue glanced at the sword in front of him. His left hand was blocked and could not receive the medicine. He said calmly, "Feed me."

Qi Jun frowned, why did it sound weird.

Sheng Yue opened his mouth, and Gu Ling put the pill into his mouth accurately, and soon he felt weak in his limbs.

Gu Ling glared, Yuan Ying sheathed her sword and handed it back to Qi Jun, "You go and watch the food."

Qi Jun was stunned for a moment before he remembered what he was going to do when he went out. It was agreed that Qi Yan would take Nangong Qian, but after Yuan Ying drew the sword, Qi Yan took Nangong Qian and ran back to find Su Liang.

Sheng Yue and Gu Ling walked into the Su Mansion side by side. Qi Jun took the horse to the stable and went out.

"I'm sorry for what happened before. I didn't intend to hurt any children, and I didn't mean to kill you that time," Sheng Yue said.

Gu Ling looked indifferent, "Since you are here, it means that you are on Xingluo Island. Is your purpose really to avenge your mother?"

Sheng Yue nodded, "Yes. I don't deny it. I really wanted to see where you came from, so I haven't done anything to Mo Yan. There is another reason. He has a magic weapon. You should have guessed it from the previous food and grass. Yeah. I want something like that, but I haven’t found the opportunity yet.”

"How do you want to cooperate?" Gu Ling asked.

Sheng Yue looked indifferent, "I didn't take you in my eyes originally. I admit that I was too conceited and greatly underestimated your strength. Now, only by cooperation can we achieve our respective goals in the safest way. I "My plan is to grab the magic weapon first, and then let Mo Yan jump into the deep pool where countless people drowned, and see what happens."
