That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 510

Xiao Shilue still wanted to speak, Xu Beiyou crossed his arms and reached for his hand, his five fingers forming a hook.

Five huge whirlpools instantly appeared on the surface of the lake, and then five tornadoes shot up into the sky in the whirlpools. The five tornadoes converged at one point above the Huxin Pavilion, like a birdcage enveloping the Huxin Pavilion.

Xiao Shilue's face was stiff. As a descendant of the Xiao family who was well-ranked in the clan, he naturally understood what Xu Beiyou's move represented. There was no doubt that he was in the realm of an immortal, and it was a complete demonstration.

Two masters in the realm of the earth fairy?The white-haired young man in front of him said that the woman is his elder, isn't that a great monk above the tenth floor of the Earth Immortal?
In the realm of the eighteenth level of the earth immortal, the tenth level of the earth immortal is a watershed. The great monks above the level of the tenth level of the building are also princes, even if they are placed in the Taoist gate of the earth immortal like a cloud, it is really not something he can easily provoke.

Xu Beiyou said flatly: "Your Highness, I didn't want to embarrass you, but it's no longer up to us juniors to make decisions, so let the elders take care of it, okay?"

Xiao Shilue's skill in controlling anger is good. Although he lost a lot of face in front of the woman he likes, he can still consider the advantages and disadvantages. He didn't die in a fit of anger, so he just nodded and said a good word.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his five fingers slowly, and the five tornadoes on the lake also dispersed with a bang, and the splashing water fell on the pavilion in the middle of the lake and on the lake surface, making a series of crashing sounds, as if it was raining heavily.

Xiao Shilue looked directly at Xu Beiyou, and said expressionlessly: "It's good to refer to Xuan Gong, this son wrote it down."

Xu Beiyou smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, I remembered you two years ago."

There is a mystery to these words, Xiao Shilue was confused when he heard it, only Xu Beiyou knew that two years ago he sneaked into the other residence of the King of Lingwu County, and was discovered by His Royal Highness. Almost stumbled.Although he did not come back to Julu City this time to argue with Xiao Shilue about the trivial matters back then, he just didn’t have much affection for Xiao Shilue. Maha's face.

As his status continues to rise, Xu Beiyou understands the four words "reason" and "rule" more and more. Sometimes, it is better to do less unreasonable things, whether it is stealing into the other mansion of Lingwu County King, or When he came to this Huxin Pavilion today, in the final analysis, Xu Beiyou had his fault first, and he couldn't blame Xiao Shilue, so he didn't want to do anything to Xiao Shilue, and he always spoke kindly.

As for why Xiao Shilue doesn't recognize Xu Beiyou, it's because Xu Beiyou has changed too much in the past two years, especially in terms of gaseous state, which is almost completely different from before, and with his dazzling white hair, it is also reasonable for Xiao Shilue not to recognize him. middle.

Xiao Shilue waved his hand slowly, and the boat under his feet began to recede. At the same time, the other two boats also pulled up the two people who fell into the water, and retreated together with Xiao Shilue.

Xiao Shilue, who was gradually retreating, looked at Xu Beiyou who was standing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, clasped his hands and cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Julu City is waiting for you two masters."

Xu Beiyou didn't speak, but just clasped his fists together and saluted.

After Xiao Shilue and his party were finally out of sight, Qin Mumian pouted at Xu Beiyou, "When you go to the imperial capital, don't be so kind to others, there are all bullying guys who don't hurt and don't have a long memory. If you are a foreigner in their If you are always gentle, courteous and frugal in front of you, then wait to be treated as a fat sheep that is easy to bully, and then you will provoke endlessly."

Xu Beiyou thought of Xu Yi, who had the same surname as his, and nodded with emotion.

Qin Mumian took a step forward, stepped on the lake water, made circles of ripples, and then walked on the lake water step by step.Xu Beiyou followed closely behind, and the two walked side by side, leaving circles of rippling water patterns behind them.

Qin Mumian said: "Emperor Capital, that place used to be called Dongdu, and it was said to be the foot of the emperor, the first place of goodness, but in my opinion, it has nothing to do with goodness, on the contrary, it hides filth and evil people. , I lived there for about two years when I was young and destitute. I first took refuge in Peony, and then I lived in Qiutai. Dirty people of all colors, dirty things of all colors."

Qin Mumian paused for a moment, then laughed at himself and said: "Back then there was a Neo Confucian master who was famous for his squareness in the government and the public. During the day, he looked dignified and upright, but at night, he liked to play the scene of the overlord forcing his bow. I slapped him Half of my head was rotten. After this incident, I couldn’t get along in Qiutai. I happened to be acquainted with Xiao Yu, so I went to live with him. It happened that Zhang Xueyao and Lin Yinping went to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Dazheng Shenzong. Watching from a distance, seeing the luxurious motorcade of the two princesses, I don't know what it feels like."

Xu Beiyou said softly, "It was the same for me back then."

Qin Mumian rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not trying to tell you how much I've suffered, I'm telling you to put your mind at ease, don't be like I was back then, lost in that big dye vat, and finally had to leave there in embarrassment."

Xu Beiyou said softly, "Aunt Qin, this time is different, very different."

Qin Mumian was slightly taken aback, and then narrowed his eyes when he smiled. Unlike Zhang Xueyao's phoenix eyes, which are narrow and long like crescent moons when he smiles, they are not the most attractive peach blossom eyes. Qin Mumian's eyes are actually almond eyes, which even look a little delicate when you look closely. The naive attitude is just covered by her fierce style on weekdays. Now when she smiles, her whole face is filled with warmth. It's hard to imagine that this woman would be called a coquettish woman a few decades ago. surly.

What Xu Beiyou didn't know was that another man had already told the truth many years ago. Lin Yinping was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She seemed soft and weak on the outside, but she was actually a strong woman who could support a huge temple by herself, because someone could Rely on her, so she doesn't mind acting weaker, while Qin Mumian is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, all her rigidity and unwillingness to admit defeat are forced out, because she has no one to rely on, so she can only force herself to be strong.

That man had deep entanglements with the two women, his name was Xiao Yu.

In the end, he chose the princess of the prairie, who was beneficial to his great career, instead of this woman whom he had known earlier.

Just as Xu Beiyou chose Xiao Zhinan instead of Zhiyun because of Jianzong, it's the same reason.

In the final analysis, important matters of marriage cannot be summed up simply by the word "love".

Xu Beiyou looked at Qin Mumian in a daze, and Qin Mumian came back to his senses. When he noticed Xu Beiyou's gaze, he was a little ashamed for the first time, and reached out to tap his forehead, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Suddenly I was thinking, what would my mother look like if she was still alive? I used to think that she should be like a teacher's wife, with a delicate posture and hidden dignity, but today I suddenly feel that something is not right .”

Qin Mumian rolled her eyes and said, "You don't think I look like your mother, do you? I don't have that blessing."

She laughed at herself, "They are all in their 80s and haven't been married yet. Where are the children?"

Xu Beiyou sighed and said, "We are also people who have fallen in the end of the world."

Qin Mumian stepped onto the shore first, turned his back to Xu Beiyou, and said softly, "It would be really nice to have a son like you."
