Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 435
Ji Chongyan pondered for a moment when he heard the words, but turned and left without persisting.

An Guogong stopped at the same spot and walked to the depths of the Peach Blossom Forest. The hearing and eyesight of martial arts practitioners are much better than ordinary people, even in old age.

Listening to the small and broken voices from around, looking across the jingtaohua forest, one can vaguely see a pair of men and women talking quietly in the depths of the jingtaohua forest.

This place...is really suitable for children to chat and laugh!Seeing this, Duke An couldn't help but sighed with emotion: He is also a person who came over at this age. When he was young, he was engaged to his wife. Before they got married, he also liked to go out to enjoy the flowers and the moon.

However, these young people reminded him: Brother Yan said that there was a girl in love when he returned to Beijing, and he heard that it was a girl from Chang'an City who came to Jiangnan Road for a short stay.He has been here for a few days, why hasn't Brother Yan mentioned that girl to him?After waiting for a while, Brother Yan had to ask him when he came back, Duke An thought.

An Guogong thought as he walked, and occasionally bumped into those talking children head-to-head, seeing each other's panic-stricken appearance, An Guogong either smiled or rolled his eyes.

For those who ran into him head-on, Erlang shrank back and hid, of course he would give a blank stare; but if he would stand up and stand in front of the girl, that would be good.

Seeing the big from the small, what use is Erlang who would hide behind girls just for trivial things like bumping into people?When it comes to the real big event, do you still expect that the son who shrinks back from those trivial things can hold up the sky?An Guogong curled his lips, commenting on this with the mindset of someone who has experienced it.

When I walked around the Peach Blossom Forest and was about to go back, I suddenly heard a slight "help" sound.

The sound was extremely soft, if he hadn't practiced martial arts since childhood, and his hearing is far better than ordinary people, he might not be able to hear it.Glancing at the young children who were talking without any reaction, he smiled at the nearest Erlang who stood up when he bumped into him just now, and An Guogong said: "A certain surname Ji, my grandson left for a while. I heard someone calling for help there," he said, pointing to the depths of the mountain jungle, and said to the unresponsive son Lang, "I'll go and have a look, if my grandson comes looking for me, remember to tell his whereabouts."

Na Lang was startled when he heard that, opened his mouth and asked him instinctively, "Which one is your grandson?"

"It's the prettiest one." An Guogong waved his hands, and without looking back at Nalang, he strode towards the mountains not far ahead.

During the Yue meeting, he suddenly ran into such a weird person... After An Guogong left, it took a while for Na Lang to react in a daze, and turned to look at the girl behind him: "The old man said that someone was calling for help, you heard it?" ?"

The girl shook her head blankly: "Nope!" Besides, she looked up at her fiancé, who had delicate features and delicate features, plus something like 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', she curled her lips and said, "Then How can the old man be sure that the most beautiful one is his grandson?"

Erlang, who was eccentric and protective, blushed suddenly, and coughed dryly: "There are people beyond people, and there are mountains beyond mountains."

"Then I don't care!" The girl snorted coquettishly, and said, "You are the prettiest!"

Erlang's face became even redder when he heard this, and he put a jingtao flower in his hand on the girl's bun, but he pretended to look at the girl calmly in embarrassment, and asked, "Then when will we get married?" ?”

"Then you have to ask my father!" The girl stomped her feet, and her pretty face was stained with a tinge of color. She was about to speak when she heard a few exclamations and sighs not far away, and the two were startled. Instinctively, he looked towards the source of those people's sighs and admiration, but saw someone walking towards the entrance of the Peach Blossom Forest.

The wind whipped up the petals of jingtao that covered the forest and came towards him like a hazy mist. He was dressed in a black brocade robe and walked toward him from the forest entrance.

The situation was really like a dream, the two stared blankly for a long time, Erlang finally couldn't help taking a breath of air: "This... this is a human, not a fairy!"

This is too beautiful, how can ordinary people who eat five grains reincarnate grow into such gods?

Staring blankly at that person walking towards this side, he raised his eyes, those extravagant and gorgeous eyes were completely different from the appearance of coldness and sternness.

The movement of looking around seems to be looking for someone, so that the eyebrows are involuntarily twisted.

It was the girl who was the first to react when she saw this, pushed Erlang aside, and said, "This...isn't that the old man's grandson?"

If she had such a grandson, she would definitely call it 'the most beautiful'.

Erlang let out an "ah", and reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream, and quickly stepped forward to call out: "Is this Erlang the grandson of the old man named Ji?"

The man instinctively raised his head and looked this way, and the cold and chill that hadn't had time to restrain himself collided with the two of them head-on, and they couldn't help but take a step back.

Fortunately, the man immediately suppressed the fear in his eyes, and asked: "It should be my grandfather, where is he now?"

Erlang quickly pointed to the depths of the mountain, and said: "The old man said that he heard someone calling for help, go over and have a look, and asked me to tell you when he left." After saying this, he couldn't help but look at Ji Chongyan's eyes I added one more sentence, "I didn't hear any cries for help!"

Ordinary people's ears are no better than those of martial arts practitioners, Ji Chongyan nodded to him, said "thank you" and walked to the mountains where An Guogong was going.

Seeing that the good-looking 'grandson' who didn't look like a worldly person finally left, Na Lang turned to the girl beside him and said with emotion: "The old man is right, his grandson is indeed the most beautiful!"

"Good-looking is good-looking," the girl nodded, and quickly raised her head to look at Erlang, a shy look flashed in her eyes, and corrected him, "Only in my eyes, you are still the prettiest."

Erlang's handsome face immediately flushed red, and his heart jumped with joy, but before he left, he couldn't help but glance at the direction in which the grandparents and grandchildren were leaving, wondering in his heart: Is there really someone calling for help?Why have you been gone for so long and no one has come back?
……

The mountain wind was hunting, An Guogong squatted at the entrance of the mountain cave and looked down. He boasted that he had not gained weight even in his old age, but the narrow entrance still prevented him from entering, so he had to squat at the entrance of the cave and ask. Inside: "Who is calling for help here?"

There was no sound in the cave, and no one responded. An Guogong tried to go down with his feet, but found that he could no longer go down with his feet in it. He kicked the gravel at the entrance of the cave, and listened carefully on the ground. Listen, but no more noise was heard.

When he was squatting at the entrance of the cave, helpless, Ji Chongyan came over.

"Grandfather!" Seeing his grandfather lying on the ground like a child looking into a narrow hole from a distance, Ji Chongyan hurriedly called out.

Just now Jueying came to report about the storyteller Jiang Pingping from Baoling Teahouse. He came to Yancheng to visit relatives, but he did not return for several months. How can relatives visit for so long?Ji Chongyan felt that his suspicion was reasonable, and after a few years, people focused on the inn's Jiang Pingping.

Jueying came to report today that Miss Jiang Si had come to Yancheng. After hearing her coming, Ji Chongyan was overjoyed, but when he heard that the girl lived in Yuelai Inn, he couldn't help but frown: Why don't you come? yamen?Of course, he understands the truth, the two of them have no relatives and no reason at the moment, and girls don't want to bother him.His thoughts wandered for a moment, and he listened to Jueying retell the story of how Miss Jiang Si greeted Jiang Pingping.The girl didn't stay any longer, she drank a cup of tea and left quickly, as if there was nothing wrong with her.Ji Chongyan nodded, and only let Jueying continue to stare at the Yuelai Inn, and incidentally protect Miss Jiang Si's safety.

After confessing to Jue Ying, Ji Chongyan came to look for Duke An.

"Brother Yan!" Seeing Ji Chongyan approaching, An Guogong quickly pointed to the small narrow cave, "Grandfather seemed to hear someone calling for help, and it came from here. It was only one sound, I don't know if I heard it wrong .”

Ji Chongyan looked at Duke An, who was staring at the entrance of the cave without looking away, suddenly, and said, "I'll have someone come over and dig the entrance of the cave open to see."

Although it may be a mistake to hear just one sound, but human life is at stake, it is better to have a look. Ji Chongyan looked at the not-so-tall but rolling hills.

This mountain is no longer the same mountain as Jiulongling. Several small towns around Yancheng call this mountain a green mountain. It is not as famous as Jiulongling. It is inconspicuous among the low mountains in Jiangnan Road.

But... After Ji Chongyan stared at the narrow opening for a while, he said to Anguo: "Grandfather, there is an album of local customs and customs in Yancheng at the post station, why don't you go buy it and have a look."

I still have to wait for someone to come over. It is also good to bring the atlas to see where the hole might lead to in case of countermeasures.

An Guogong nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Grandpa will go with you."

As for the cave entrance, look for Jueying to come and watch.

The post station outside Yancheng City is not far from this place. After all, a small city like Yancheng is only a palm-sized place, and it only takes half an hour to walk down the mountain to the post station.

……

"Miss Jiang Si, I thought that your reason to leave was to go to the Yamen to see where they might be hiding." Jiang Pingping said to Jiang Shaoyan empty-handed.

Jiang Shaoyan held an atlas of Yancheng customs and customs in her hand, flipped through it a bit, then raised her head and said to Jiang Pingping: "I went to the neighborhood of the yamen, but I learned something, so I rushed here."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Pingping was puzzled. He just bought the album of Yancheng customs and customs from the post station and met Jiang Shaoyan who rushed over. Then he asked him to leave quickly.

"Ji Chongyan and An Guogong are out of the city." The girl said and glanced at the low mountains beside her. "What is there to see outside the city of Yancheng right now? Except for a piece of early cherry blossoms...well, it is the so-called Jingtao flower, except for this But it seems that there is nothing else. The mountain temple where the peach blossoms bloom is too close to here, what if the two came here for a walk on a whim and happened to bump into you?"

Jiang Pingping couldn't help but be silent when he heard the words: "...how could it be such a coincidence?"

"What if?" The girl flipped through the atlas of customs and customs in her hand, and said, "Hurry up and leave. This is the person who was targeted by Prince Ji. He has lived in Yancheng for several months. At this time, he suddenly ran away. When I went out to buy an album of local customs and customs, I was bumped into, because I thought I was not being watched closely enough?"

Jiang Pingping: "..."

Before he could speak, the girl hurriedly waved away him: "If I am targeted, I will have my own words. I am different from you. You should leave!"

This... well!Jiang Pingping saw the girl's expression of drooping eyes and frowning and didn't persist anymore. He turned around and took two steps, then heard the girl's voice behind him: "Take the small road, don't take the big road!"

So cautious... Jiang Pingping looked at the girl's young but resolute face, and before he could react, he turned to the side path.

Miss Jiang Si is his companion, so it is a good thing for her companion to be so careful.Jiang Pingping smiled, and thought it was all right, but he couldn't help but reach for his sleeve pocket, and took out a palm-sized clairvoyance from the sleeve pocket.

This is a habit developed in the army. Carrying clairvoyance is convenient for detecting the enemy's situation. Now it is used here, but it can be regarded as a kind of detecting "enemy situation".

Jiang Pingping watched as he walked, holding clairvoyance in his hand to look at the official road.

There are not many pedestrians on the official road outside the city, and occasionally pedestrians in twos and threes walk through the official road, leaving or entering the city.After watching for a while, Jiang Pingping was about to withdraw his clairvoyance and walk his way with peace of mind.

Two figures suddenly appeared in the clairvoyant's field of vision.

Thanks to that Prince Ji's appearance, Jiang Pingping was recognized with just one glance, and he couldn't help but stop while walking and watching.

As for Ji Shizi, there was a hale and hearty old man, and Jiang Ping pursed his lips: Even after 20 years, the An Guogong, who was in his prime, has become an old man, and he still recognizes him at a glance. out.

Ji Shizi and An Guogong... actually appeared!

This is really... Jiang Pingping heaved a sigh of relief for no reason: If he hadn't listened to Miss Jiang Si and left the official path, he would still be holding an album of Yancheng's customs and customs in his hand... let alone Ji Shizi, he would just change An official like Wu Youcai might be able to detect something is wrong.

fine!Fortunately, Miss Jiang Si showed up in time.

No wonder Miss Fang said that her second younger sister always babbled that Miss Jiang Si was a "great fairy". He wanted to give her the nickname of a great fairy with such a miraculous skill.

However, the girl's predictability has nothing to do with Daxian.Thinking that she was just a girl who rushed out of the city to replace him when he heard that Shizi Ji was leaving the city with Duke An, Jiang Pingping took a deep breath and realized: it was just being careful, prudent and thoughtful.

Of course, being careful, prudent and thoughtful is something that ordinary people can do.It's just that she has achieved the ultimate within the scope of her ability, and she is no longer an ordinary person.

Because he is more careful, prudent and thoughtful, he can respond earlier than ordinary people, so he has become Jiang Daxian who is like a god!
Right now, "Jiang Daxian" looked at the oncoming Ji Chongyan and An Guogong, stopped and raised his eyebrows: Fortunately, he caught up, if Jiang Pingping and Ji Chongyan collided head-on... This result is afraid that it will be troublesome.

However, it was her who bumped into him now.Jiang Shaoyan smiled, saw Ji Chongyan's eyes brighten as he looked at her, and immediately said a few words to An Guogong, and then helped An Guogong come here.
