Chapter 417 Don't fight the fire
"It's you?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng noticed a corner of the curtain was raised when the convoy was coming, and happened to catch a glimpse of that infuriating hippie smiling face when he turned his head.
"It's not me~!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng became more and more puzzled when he heard the muffled voice, as if it was intentionally covering his mouth.
"it's him."
Zhou Ji walked to the side of the carriage with a smirk and stretched out his hand to pull towards the curtain, but he couldn't open it with a slight push.
In the carriage, Jiang Ni looked at Xu Fengnian, who was stuck on the inside of the car curtain and was holding onto the curtain tightly, and said dumbfoundedly: "I recognize you, why are you still hiding?"
"Then I won't show up either." Xu Fengnian grabbed the curtain of the car with resistance written all over his face.
Zhou Ji pulled the curtain of the car, held back a smile and said, "Think about it~ You just praised her a few words at the beginning. She chased you for a few streets"
Hearing this, Xu Fengnian quietly glanced at Jiang Ni, and saw that she was angry again, and quickly retorted: "Don't talk nonsense! It's Wen Hua, those words were all said by Wen Hua, so I stood aside Thumbs up to see the excitement."
"Yes, yes, it's Wen Hua." Zhou Ji nodded, "suddenly" said: "Since you didn't do anything, but only hurt Chi Yu, what's there to be afraid of?"
Xu Fengnian was speechless for a moment, under Jiang Ni's scrutinizing gaze. He faltered a few times and didn't dare to answer.
Zhou Ji’s spiritual sense swept across the interior of the carriage through the car curtain, and couldn’t help laughing: “Besides, if I save her life now, it’s even, right?”
While speaking, there was a soft sound. Xu Fengnian, who was holding the door frame with both hands, held the lower half of the car curtain, looked at Xuanyuan Qingfeng with embarrassment, tried hard to force a smile, and nodded, "What a coincidence?"
"It really is you!"
噗~!
Even facing Yuan Tingshan, he didn't draw his sword out of its sheath, but when he saw Xu Fengnian, he pulled out half of it.
"I didn't expect you to dare to show up!"
Memories of being molested by Wen Hua and Xu Fengnian flooded into my mind back then, such as 'good butts are good for fertility', 'willow water snake and wasp waist', Xuanyuan Qingfeng walked towards this side with shame and anger in his eyes.
"Old Zhou, I really believed in your evil." Xu Fengnian glanced at Zhou Ji resentfully, stretched out his hand in embarrassment to stop him, and pushed all the things at the beginning to Wen Hua and Lao Huang, and said righteously: "Girl, I It is also inadvertently making friends, we are all victims!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng stabilized his emotions as much as possible, glanced at Mr. Zhou Ji Zhou who had just rescued him, glared at Xu Fengnian with hatred, returned the sword into its sheath with a clang, looked it up and down, and said, "Are you Xu Xiao's son? There is a bit of resemblance."
"???" Xu Fengnian was full of question marks, and asked in surprise, "How did the girl see that?"
"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Mr. Zhou Ji and Xu Fengnian went together together, and Mr. Zhou saved me just now, and he has a very close relationship with you. You don't need to guess." Xuanyuan Qingfeng concealed the portrait in his mother's room, and his expression was indifferent. road.
The two exchanged a few words, Xu Fengnian asked about the identity of the swordsman who had just intercepted her, and when he learned that it was Yuan Tingshan, a member of the Xuanyuan family, his eyes shone brightly, and he said with a smile: "Miss is going back to Huishan, right? We are planning to go to Longhu A trip to the mountain will give you a ride."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng weighed the pros and cons, and agreed after thinking about it.
Because the accompanying attendants and horses were slaughtered by Yuan Tingshan, Xu Fengnian arranged Xuanyuan Qingfeng in the carriage behind.
"Miss Xuanyuan is not married yet," Zhou Ji frowned slightly, pulled Xu Fengnian aside and said, "Isn't it appropriate for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room?"
Xu Fengnian froze for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Where are the lonely men and widows?"
Zhou Ji pointed to himself, and then pointed to Xuanyuan Qingfeng not far away.
Lone man, widow.
Xu Fengnian couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't Li Jianshen stop picking his nose and feet recently? Why do you want to switch back?"
Zhou Ji smiled and said: "Jiang Ni is back, it's a bit crowded with four people in one carriage, you two are flirting all day long, if I get closer, I'm afraid I won't even have the part to play."
"Huh?" Xu Fengnian was confused, staring at Zhou Ji with wide eyes, although he didn't understand what he was talking about, but he understood one thing, that is, he wanted to get back in the carriage behind, so he nodded, He smiled and said, "Okay, since you want to change back, then go back."
Halfway through the talk, the smile on Xu Fengnian's face gradually deteriorated, as if fighting against Zhou Ji's prank just now, he pointed to the vines swaying in the wind in the flower pot, showing a surprised expression, "But isn't your wife also there? Even if Xuanyuan Qingfeng is allowed to sit in the carriage at the back, it can only be regarded as "hugging left and right", not a lonely man and a widow, right? Or do you want to have something to do with her?"
Zhou Ji twitched the corner of his mouth, and said righteously: "There is absolutely no such possibility!"
"Isn't this the end?" Xu Fengnian slowly raised his arm, stretched it over his shoulder under Zhou Ji's gaze, and lowered it gently, "We are all children of the Jianghu, and they just ride together in a carriage. If you need to make such a big fuss, Mrs. Zun is definitely not the kind of narrow-minded and jealous person."
High-spirited gaze, earnest teaching.
Zhou Ji's peripheral vision extended from the arm on his shoulder to Xu Fengnian's face, his calm gaze did not fluctuate at all, Xu Fengnian's scalp was numb and his back was cold, he retracted his arm in embarrassment, and looked for an excuse to look at the car in front of him. The carriage fled.
"Young master."
Shu Shame drove up to Zhou Ji, nodded in salute, and lifted the curtain for him.
No words all the way.
The main reason is that Zhou Ji didn't talk to Xuanyuan Qingfeng very much. The woman in front of her is indeed beautiful. The purple dress and exquisite makeup all show her arrogance, but Zhou Ji always feels that she doesn't want to talk to her. Not to mention dislike, but also not to like.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng felt Zhou Ji's aloofness and alienation, so he sat on the other side of the car consciously, raised the corner of the curtain and looked at Huishan, which was getting closer.
From seeing Xuanyuan Qingfeng at the very beginning, to his rescue and getting into the carriage, Si Teng clearly felt the change in Zhou Ji's 'personality'.
The vines swayed lightly, like a graceful woman standing with her elbows in her arms. A strand of vines protruded from the intertwined branches and leaves, patted the back of his hand, faced Zhou Ji's suspicious gaze, and looked towards Xuanyuan next to the window. Qing Feng pointed.
Zhou Ji stretched out his fingers and gently wrapped the slender and tender vines, and said softly, "It's nothing, just thinking of a photo I saw before, it's a bit disillusioning."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng heard Zhou Ji speak suddenly, and turned his head with a puzzled expression.
There were only the two of them in the carriage, plus Miss Shuyu who was driving outside, there were three in total. She only heard Zhou Ji explaining something to someone, but she didn't see the person who asked the question.
Did I get it wrong?
Xuanyuan Qingfeng blinked, and when he turned his gaze back out of the window, he saw that the buds of the vine did not sway from side to side with the wind, but swayed up and down as if responding to something, his heart tightened, and he remembered about Zhou Ji. Another rivers and lakes rumor, couldn't help but shuddered, and looked away in a panic.
A young man who looks handsome, but unfortunately he is a naive guy who likes to talk to himself about potted plants.
Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Ziying searched the vicinity and found a hillside in advance to set up camp. When the convoy arrived, the sun had already set. Xuanyuan Qingfeng heard the cry of tired birds returning to the forest from the forest, so he found a Chance left the camp and went deep into the forest.
Xu Fengnian ordered someone to hunt some wild game. He wanted to invite her to eat with him, but he searched around but found no trace of her. He returned to the campfire, shrugged his shoulders, sat down and said, "I don't know where Miss Xuanyuan has gone, why not?" Let's eat first, and ask Shu Shame to leave her a rabbit later."
"Someone from Xuanyuan's family came to look for her, and she is talking to someone in the woods right now." Zhou Ji took the roast chicken from Qingniao and thanked her.
"When?" Xu Fengnian's mind flashed, and he asked suddenly: "The bird singing just now?"
"Not too stupid." Zhou Ji nodded slightly, with a strange expression, "The ancestor of the Xuanyuan family ordered Xuanyuan Qingfeng to return to the mountain, and Yuan Tingshan who intercepted her in the afternoon was sent by her father."
"I heard that Xuanyuan Qingfeng has a very bad relationship with her father. It seems to be true." Thinking of himself and Xu Xiao, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but sigh, "Her uncles didn't do anything, the first one who couldn't sit still was her Father."
"Why does she have a bad relationship with her father?"
A quirky little head poked out of the window of the carriage behind the bonfire, and Jiang Ni was holding the frame, and said on the curtain above his head.
Xu Fengnian pulled out a chicken leg, stuffed it into her mouth, and pushed the little brain into the carriage.
"Xuanyuan Qingfeng's father, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, is the eldest grandson of the Xuanyuan family. Logically speaking, he should be in charge of the family business, but now no one in the whole Huishan takes him seriously." Xu Fengnian regretted, "Because he He has a weak temper, has never practiced martial arts, and only loves to read books, in a family of martial arts like the Xuanyuan family, he is really different."
"What's so bad about loving reading?" Zhou Ji said indifferently, "I also know an old man who has been cleaning the library for decades, and finally reached the realm of no rules, where he is allowed to roam between heaven and earth. Even the Dao of Heaven is afraid of it."
"Okay~ It's the story in your dream again, isn't it?" Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes at Zhou Ji, and curled his lips.
"Then let's be realistic." Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Is your reputation worse than him before? Just allow you to hide your strength and bide your time, but can't you allow him to hide deeper than you?"
Thinking of the self who tried to solve all problems with "intelligence" before, Xu Fengnian couldn't help empathizing with him, nodded and said: "That's true."
Talk about the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family again.
Li Chungang, who was sitting next to him eating chicken legs, became interested and said disdainfully, "Is this old guy still alive? Back then we fought swords on the Guniujiang Daxueping in Huishan."
Xu Fengnian asked curiously, "Who won?"
Li Chungang glanced at Zhou Ji who stood up holding the flower pot, sat up straight, and said with a straight face: "I only lost to Wang Xianzhi."
Seeing that Li Jianshen lacked confidence, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but laugh.
Since leaving Beiliang, Li Chungang suffered a lot at Zhou Ji's hands all the way. Just being washed with soapy water that day was enough to cause him a psychological shadow. During the stunt, he dared not to hover into the air and land in a spin.
At first, when Zhou Ji said that he and Wang Xianzhi were "100% off", Xu Fengnian thought he was talking big. Now, even before arriving at Wudi City, Xu Fengnian already believed that even Wang Xianzhi would not be able to push Li Chungang into such a predicament. .
Zhou Ji held a flower pot and gave Xu Fengnian a glance, warning him not to make a fuss.
Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded, swallowing the provocation on his lips.
As the saying goes, if you look at the mountain and run to death, if you look at Huishan from a distance, the convoy still traveled for three full days before reaching the bank of the Shejiang River.
Fortunately, after Yuan Tingshan's death, the Xuanyuan family sent people to stop him on this journey. This kind of luck is the biggest irony in Xuanyuan Qingfeng's view.
Climbing the Guniu to fall to the Daxueping, entering the Pavilion of Winning Ding to be passed down by her ancestors, in her opinion, this is a great opportunity, and what stops her is not the third uncle who is fighting for power, but the father she despises the most.
But what she didn't know was what she was going to face when she returned to the mountain.
Shejiang river surface.
A large ship came from the direction of Huishan, and behind the large ship, a small bamboo raft slowly came along with the river.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan glanced at the old and the young on the bamboo raft. Although he didn't know their identities, he could tell from the Taoist robes on them that they were from Dragon and Tiger.
A disdainful smile appeared on Xuanyuan Jingxuan's face, and he turned to look at his elder brother Xuanyuan Jingcheng beside him, his disdain became stronger: "How long has it been since elder brother went down the mountain? Are you standing still? Do you want someone to help you? "
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at a convoy that appeared at the corner of the mountain road, and said with a smile, "Look, people are here."
Although Yuan Tingshan died, Xuanyuan Qingfeng's itinerary has been passed on to the family.
Seeing his daughter stepping into the mud in a daze, Xuanyuan Jingcheng slightly closed his eyes, showing a look of unwillingness, and clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves tightly. When he opened his eyes, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Yuan Tingshan was sent by the eldest brother, right? It's a pity, the ancestor called Qingfeng to accept him, and no one can stop him."
Xuanyuan Jingxuan sneered, he didn't care about his useless elder brother, he was full of energy, and his voice spread, "Qingfeng returns to the mountain, my uncle will accompany your father to pick you up in person!"
Uncomfortable smirks echoed in the mountains and forests by the river, birds flew in the forest, and horses neighed.
Zhou Ji raised the curtain of the car to look at the big boat coming from the river, plucked his ears, frowned and said, "Noisy~"
Zhou Ji's voice was very soft, compared to the laughter echoing in the mountains and forests, it was almost inaudible, but it was this inaudible reprimand that rang in Xuanyuan Jingxuan's ears like thunder.
The uncomfortable laughter stopped abruptly, and the entire mountain forest fell into a moment of silence.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan felt his eyes go dark, and his head buzzed continuously. The slightly swaying deck on the river was like a duckweed in the wind and waves, staggering to one side, and if someone hadn't helped him in time, he might have died Fell into the Shejiang River and became the laughing stock of the Xuanyuan family.
Shaking his head vigorously, Xuanyuan Jingxuan circulated his true energy to regulate his inner breath. When he came to his senses, he realized that the person who had just helped him was the useless elder brother next to him. Arms, hold on to the fence and stand still.
