"Of course it is us maids. Think about it, they will naturally become boring after practicing for a long time, and this courtyard is a forbidden area, and no one can enter easily. In addition to saying a few words to us, we also Who can I tell, I'll get used to it after a while." Xing Lingling looked serious and serious. If Zhou Xing didn't believe it, she would probably swear to heaven.
"That makes sense, but how can you be so sure that I'm here to become a disciple?" Zhou Xing looked at her with a sly expression and said with a smile.
“You’re not here to become a disciple, so you’re still the master here?” Looking at Zhou Xing's smile, Xing Lingling felt more and more something was wrong.
"Are you really the owner of this place?" Xing Lingling said anxiously.
"It seems so. At least the sword behind you is mine." Zhou Xing said seriously.
"Ah..." The cry rang out. Of course it was not Zhou Xing's cry, nor her cry of terror, but a cry of pain. This guy was indeed a ghost. Ling Jing reacted instantly and wanted to slip out. But who was Zhou Xing? How could he let this little girl slip away in front of him? He stretched out a hand and grabbed her hair, causing her endless pain. .
"Girl, let's tell you who you are. Don't try to hide it from me. If I take you out to Luo Ziyang, what will happen to you?" Zhou Xing was like pulling a chicken. He dragged Xing Lingling back and mentioned Luo Ziyang. A look of fear finally appeared in Xing Lingling's eyes. Luo Ziyang was none other than the master of Xingchen Pavilion. Although he rarely left Xingchen Pavilion, this Xingchen Pavilion was for Canglan. It is a place where the country cultivates talents. The status of this pavilion master can be imagined. Even Yang Ye, who is now in power, will respectfully call him "teacher" when he sees this pavilion master. All civil and military officials in the dynasty respect him very much. Even if The same goes for Xing Tianyuan, and Luo Ziyang is a very strict person. If he lets him know that she secretly entered the worship hall, even if she is not executed, she will definitely be expelled from school. Once she is expelled, what will her father do to her? It’s hard to say.
"Just say it, my name is Xing Lingling." Xing Lingling said with aggrieved mouth.
"Xing Lingling, her eyes are like bells, is she Xing Tianyuan's daughter?" Zhou Xing recognized her as the daughter of an old friend at once. He was watching from behind just now, and this little girl was about to meet When he took the white jade sword, he felt no anger in his heart. Now thinking about it, maybe it was because she was Xing Tianyuan's daughter, otherwise if it had been someone else, he would have died under the white jade sword at this moment.
"Do you know my father?"
"I have known you before, but you are not as stupid as your father, nor as scheming as your mother, which surprises me." Although she is the daughter of an old friend, Zhou Xing's impression of these old friends It's not good, especially Xing Lingling's mother, he doesn't have any good feelings at all.But this little girl is adorable.
"My dad is not stupid, your dad is stupid." How could Xing Lingling bear it when others scolded her dad? Although Zhou Xing was probably her elder, her dad was her A great hero in her heart, she would never allow others to say a bad word about him.
"You are very supportive, but it's a pity that he married your mother." Zhou Xing didn't like Xing Lingling's mother, because she was a very scheming woman, and that woman didn't like Xing Tianyuan, Xing Tianyuan also understood this, but he still married this woman, which was stupid for Zhou Xing.
"Why are you talking about my mother like that?"
Xing Lingling clenched her small fists tightly. Even if the man in front of her was a person in the temple, she would still be able to attack him He was angry just because of what he said to his mother. Indeed, her mother and father always quarreled when they met at home, and Xing Tianyuan usually lived in the military and rarely returned home. Whenever Xing Tianyuan returned home, it was indispensable. She had a quarrel with her mother, and it was not an ordinary quarrel, as if the two were not husband and wife, but enemies. Of course, no one else knew about this kind of thing. Those noble ladies in the imperial capital were all talkative women, so of course she would not tell The situation at home of those people, and their mothers rarely mentioned the situation at home outside. When Zhou Xing mentioned her mother, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. This anger was not just for Zhou Xing. Anger, and some inexplicable emotions, came from the repressed situation in that home.
"Forget it, those are all grievances from the previous generation. You don't need to know. Go back. If someone knows that you came here, even if your father is already powerful, he won't be able to protect you." Zhou Xing Of course, he would not really argue with a little girl, but this little girl entered his life and caused a strange change in his peaceful life for ten years. This change was ordinary to others, but in Zhou Xing On the body, it is very rare, because Zhou Xing used to be a person who was indifferent to all things. Except for the three-foot long sword in his hand, nothing could cause a ripple in his heart. But now Zhou Xing seems to have a little more humanity.
"Who are you? I'm going to ask my father if he knows you." She originally sneaked into the worship hall with curiosity, but after hearing Zhou Xing's comments about her parents, she No trace of curiosity about the worship was left, and now she was only angry. She must go back and ask if her parents really knew a person like him.
"My name is Zhou Xing, but your parents don't know this name. If you tell your father this sentence, after the rain every week, innocence is in the world. The word "Zhou Xing" comes from here. He must know me. Who is it?" Zhou Xing was somewhat curious about how the Commander-in-Chief of the Army would feel when he knew that he had returned to the Imperial Capital and lived in the Enshrinement Hall.
Gu Tu
Xing Lingling’s bell-like eyes widened, as if fire was about to burst out of her eyes. Of course, a large part of the anger in her heart was not It was directed at Zhou Xing, but he was dissatisfied with his parents, but thisZhou Xing, who constantly mentioned her parents, aroused the dissatisfaction in her heart and turned her into a ball that was about to explode. However, Zhou Xing would not care if a girl's movie exploded on the spot, because even if she exploded on the spot, Zhou Xing could control it. The situation, and he and Xing Tianyuan were not polite. Although they used to be friends, this is what happened in the past, and now they are no longer friends.
"I will ask." She completely forgot about those prohibitions, and also forgot that if she was discovered, her fate would definitely be very miserable. But she was not discovered, of course, not because she was lucky, but because Zhou Xing didn't care, and followed Xing Lingling out of the yard, in the distance An old man in white clothes stared at Xing Lingling's figure going away. This man was dressed in white Confucian robes, with white hair and a beard. His figure had a bit of immortality. He was Luo Ziyang, the master of Xingchen Pavilion. This Luo Ziyang was in the imperial capital. He is considered a legend among them, and his strength has reached the realm of soul condensation.
This martial arts soul condensation can be regarded as a master in the world. But now in the imperial capital, there are only three masters in the soul condensation realm except those in the enshrinement hall. These three people The weakest among them is Luo Ziyang, and the strongest is undoubtedly Xing Tianyuan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. He has taken the position of Commander-in-Chief with all his strength, and is known as the best master in the court. He has experienced hundreds of battles, and if he is desperate, In a fight, even many strong men of the same realm in the world would not be his opponent, and the other one was Yang Ye, the chief minister of the dynasty.
This Yang Ye looks gentle and polite, like a scholar, but his martial arts strength is not weak. He was once a strong man in the Soul Condensation Realm, and Yang Ye is an extremely good at hiding. Characters, many people are speculating in their minds whether Yang Ye's strength has surpassed Xing Tianyuan. Many people want to see the two of them fight in an upright manner, but unfortunately no one can do so. After all, Yang Ye has only taken a handful of shots. There are only a few people, and those who have seen Yang Ye take action are even rarer. People in the imperial capital only roughly know that Yang Ye is a master of the soul condensation realm, but no one knows what realm he has reached, but he is stronger than Luo Ziyang. , because Luo Ziyang once publicly admitted that he lost half of the moves in the competition with Yang Ye, and this was because Yang Ye gave in. If he didn't give in, he would probably lose even worse.
In the Governor's Mansion, the atmosphere above the dining table seemed very stuffy, and a depressing atmosphere filled the whole room. Even the maid standing there waiting did not dare to breathe loudly, because tonight The Governor-General who cannot return home a few times a year is back, and he is waiting for someone to come back, and that person is of course his daughter Xing Lingling. The Governor-General Xing Tianyuan, the entire imperial capital knows that when they hear his name, they will reveal their faces. He looked in awe, but the Governor's appearance seemed a bit ordinary. He was already over fifty years old, and his hair on both sides of his temples was turning white. The dragon on his official uniform looked very ferocious and terrifying, as if he was about to pounce out and bite him. People are ordinary, which makes the air even more depressing.
Beside Xing Tianyuan, there is a graceful and elegant woman sitting. She is wearing a purple dress and a head full of gold hairpins, which is enough to prove that she is Xing Tianyuan's wife. Her name is Wang Tingxue. It comes from a disciple named Tiannan Sword Sect, and Tiannan Sword Sect is not one of the nine famous sects in the world. For the imperial court, none of the nine sects can be offended by them. The Tiannan Sword Sect is just a small sect around the imperial capital. There are many such sects. They usually rely on the powerful officials in the court to survive, so they will also participate in things like seizing the legitimate sons. Every time the imperial power changes, these sects will be let go. The small sect shuffles the cards once.
"You're back so late?" Although there was no anger on Xing Tianyuan's face, when he saw Xing Lingling stepping into the dining hall with a look of horror, the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a bit.
"Lingling, where have you been? What is a girl doing not coming home so late?" Wang Tingxue also frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with the time Xing Lingling came back tonight.
"I, I went to see an uncle."
"Which uncle is it?" Wang Tingxue is different. She is exquisite and can mingle with all the noble ladies in the imperial capital. When these noble ladies gather together, in addition to showing off how good their men are, they also show off how outstanding their sons and daughters are, and they also hope that If you can find a matching partner, if you like other people's children, of course you have to move around more. However, Xing Lingling is always unwilling, so it gives her a headache. But today, when she heard that she could actually move around, she felt a little relieved.
"His name is Zhou Xing." Xing Tianyuan and Wang Tingxue frowned at the same time, because neither of them knew a person named Zhou Xing.
"After Zhou Zhou Muyu, innocence is in the world, Zhou Xing came from here." The end must have been tragic, especially when he saw Xing Tianyuan's right arm on the table. The entire right arm extended to the elbow, wrapped in a silver glove. On top of the heavy metal feeling, there was an unnoticeable trace of... The smell of blood may be because this hand has killed too many people and is contaminated with the smell of blood. Even Xing Lingling felt scared when she looked at her father's arm.
"Where is he?" There was no unnecessary change on Xing Tianyuan's face, as if he was just asking casually.
"Enshrined Hall."
"What? You entered the Enshrined Hall?" Wang Tingxue turned pale with shock. What exactly is this place? It is a taboo place, and no one wants to mention that place.
"Xing Lingling, you are so brave, you dare to enterEnter the worship hall? "Wang Tingxue was furious, slapped her palm on the table, stood up, folded her sleeves with both hands, and looked ready to deal with Xing Lingling. But when Xing Lingling saw her father, she could only stand there with the look of a child who had done something wrong, but He dared to move a little and looked at his father expectantly. After all, no one in this family except his father dared to say anything to his mother.
"You are sure, this is what you heard. talk. "Xing Lingling has closed her eyes in fear. Her mother's hand is about to grab her ear, and she will be pulled around like a chicken by her mother. She believes that she is the only one who has learned such a tragic lesson. His mother could do it. After all, her mother was from the Tiannan Sword Sect. She was not from a famous family like those noble ladies. What she pursued was to produce filial sons under the stick, so if Xing Lingling made a mistake, she would be beaten. It's inevitable, but Xing Lingling is also a solid person. The more she beats her, the less she remembers. She doesn't know how many times she has been beaten. However, the more her mother beats her, the less afraid she becomes. On the contrary, her father , even if she just said a word, she was careful, and as Xing Tianyuan asked, Wang Tingxue's hand froze in the air and did not fall.
