That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 436 Another person carrying the sword box
It was getting dark, it was almost dusk.

When Xu Beiyou walked out of Master's mourning hall, he was a little surprised to see Zhang Xueyao standing at the door in a daze. She was still dressed in white linen, and her demeanor seemed to have aged a bit.

As soon as Xu Beiyou went out, Zhang Xueyao came back to her senses, and said softly in her eyes: "Nangui, here we come."

Xu Beiyou hummed, and said softly, "Come and see Master, and talk to the old man with him."

Zhang Xueyao looked at the empty jug in his hand, and suggested: "Let's go for a walk with Master."

Xu Beiyou nodded without any objection.

The two left the mourning hall and walked towards the Liuli Pavilion. In fact, the East Lake Bieyuan only had half of the wall, and the other half faced the entire back lake, so there was no wall. The two soon came to the bank of the back lake and walked slowly along the lake. .

Looking from here, you can see most of the back lake. It is no wonder that the completion of the East Lake Courthouse attracted a lot of controversy. It is because this move is tantamount to treating the back lake as a back lake, and it is reasonable to cause public outrage.

However, this other courtyard was finally completed, and it fell into the hands of Zhang Xueyao after several owners.

The half-mother and son stopped on a pier, Xu Beiyou took the initiative to say: "I will go to the imperial capital in a few days, and I still need to ask the master to take care of the overall affairs of the sect. After all, you are the acting suzerain, Jiange and Jianqi The Lingkong Hall is still in charge of Zhang An and Song Guanguan respectively, as for the Daoshu Workshop, I plan to hand it over to Wu Yu, what do you think?"

Zhang Xueyao said: "I don't have any objections, you can do as you see."

Xu Beiyou went on to say: "And Qinglian, this girl is not too young. She should learn how to manage money in an ordinary wealthy family. Teacher's wife might as well bring her by her side so that she can start to learn how to deal with the affairs of the clan."

Zhang Xueyao said softly: "Your master and I have no heirs, so I treat this girl as my own daughter. They say that spoiling a child is like killing a child. I really did not fulfill my responsibility as a mother and spoiled her like she is today. With this appearance, not only does she not seek to make progress, but she is also extremely lazy, I know about Bai Xi's affairs, and I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "Master, you don't have to blame yourself. In fact, it's good to let nature take its course. Speaking of which, I envy Qinglian very much. She can live very... very comfortable. You don't have to be like us."

Zhang Xueyao sighed, "There is nothing we can do about it. When the Sword Sect was overthrown, if your master and I abandoned the sect and became a couple of gods and immortals at ease, it would not be difficult. How can we be at ease? How can we be worthy of those dead? The elders and masters in the ten-year competition? One must not forget one’s roots. When the Jianzong was prosperous and prosperous, I was a disciple of the Jianzong. When the Jianzong was in ruins and overturned, I was still a disciple of the Jianzong. "

Xu Beiyou said softly: "I have always felt that in life, one has to bear something. No matter how low the bottom line is, there must always be some bottom line. You can be unruly, but you have to be reasonable. reason."

Zhang Xueyao didn't make a comment, but instead said: "When you go to the imperial capital this time, don't get so stiff with Empress Xu. They say that a hateful person must have something to be pitiful about. I have been oppressed for more than ten years, and I am full of resentment towards her mother-in-law, and Qin Mumian has never dealt with Lin Yinping very well, so the relationship between this girl and Qin Mumian is not bad. I have already asked Qin Mumian to write her a letter to make peace, As for what to do next, it’s up to you.”

Xu Beiyou's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Mrs.

In all fairness, if he can become the third son-in-law, he doesn't want to quarrel with this mother-in-law.

Zhang Xueyao's eyes softened a little, she shook her head and said, "You don't need to thank me, we are a family after all, if you want to go on a long journey, I, as a teacher's wife, naturally have to prepare for you in advance."

Xu Beiyou didn't say any more words of thanks, and smiled softly.

The two left here and continued on their way. Zhang Xueyao said, "In the imperial capital, good and evil are mixed together, friends and foes are indistinguishable. You have to listen to Han Wenbi more, he is the one who is truly reliable."

Xu Beiyou nodded to mark it down.

Zhang Xueyao continued: "As far as I know, Xiao Shen who turned his back on Sword Sect back then is still alive, maybe hiding in the imperial capital, but don't rush to trouble him, after all he still has a surname of Xiao, If you really want to get rid of him, you must rely on Xiao Xuan's hand, and you must not act on your will."

Xu Beiyou was startled for a moment, but did not speak.

Zhang Xueyao turned her head to look at him, "Everyone is dead, what's the use of revenge? At most, it's just what you want. When Zhong Mou died, he specifically told you not to think about revenge, but to revive Jianzong as the first priority." First priority, I also say the same thing now, revenge is secondary, Zhongxing Jianzong is the most important thing, if Jianzong can't be revived, then Zhongmou's life will be in vain, Zhongmou and I have been married for many years, we Know what he wants, Nan Gui, I hope you can endure the humiliation."

Xu Beiyou said solemnly: "Beiyou knows."

Zhang Xueyao looked a bit sad, although she said revenge was useless, but she still felt a little bit hard to let go, who wouldn't want to take revenge openly?After all, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't.

Unknowingly came to the vicinity of the library, and Xu Beiyou discovered for the first time that it turned out to be a good viewing place, especially when standing upstairs overlooking the back lake, the view is excellent.

Zhang Xueyao stood up straight, looking towards the direction of the imperial capital, "Your master also has a few friends in the imperial capital, one of them is Zhao Qing, who has been in contact with us as early as ten years of competition, and later surrendered to the Daqi court, He is very much relied on by the Xiao family, but he has not been shown to others for these years, so his reputation is not obvious, if you see this person in the imperial capital, you might as well get acquainted with him."

Xu Beiyou asked: "This trip to the imperial capital is destined to be unusual. When I said goodbye to Qing Chen in Huzhou that day, he told me that the Dragon King of Buddhism, Li Qingyu, Murong Xuanyin and others would all go to the imperial capital."

Zhang Xueyao said calmly: "The current imperial city is indeed a meeting place. Not only these people, Qin Mumian will also leave for the imperial capital soon, and the hidden ghost palace will probably show up again in the imperial capital."

Xu Beiyou couldn't help being shocked and said, "Could it be that there will be another Taimiao change?"

Zhang Xueyao shook her head and said: "That's not the case, it's just that someone is pushing behind the scenes and pointing at the ambitious emperor Xiao Xuan. After all, Xiao Xuan's steps are too big. He wants to deprive Sapphire's power internally, but also To suppress the Taoist sect externally, this has turned into a situation of making enemies on all sides. However, these people are not united even in the imperial capital. They are divided into several factions, and there are even many grudges against each other. In addition, Qin Mumian, the royalist faction who is diligent in protecting the king , the emperor can’t mess it up.”

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "Understood."

Zhang Xueyao said with a smile: "You are also a royalist in this way. You can't say that you are close to death, but it will never be smooth sailing. Because I will not go to the imperial capital, I will give you two more artifacts, which can be regarded as self-defense. Self-preservation."

After Zhang Xueyao finished speaking, a sword box flew out of the Liuli Pavilion and landed in front of Xu Beiyou.

Xu Beiyou looked at this "old friend" reunited after a long absence with complicated eyes.

Zhang Xueyao said softly: "Bai Hong and Zhu Xian are both inside, your master used to carry the sword box, now you will carry it."

Xu Beiyou put his hand on the sword box and nodded slightly.

Zhang Xueyao sighed and said: "Don't learn from your master who never comes back when you leave, go and come back easily, the master is waiting to hold the grandson."
