Long Sword and Jun Wu

Chapter 23
Pei Min and Gongsun Ling looked towards the door. The man was wearing a light blue robe, about 36 or [-] years old, but he was well maintained, and he still looked dignified and radiant.

"Wuxia, you're back?" The man hurried towards Ying Wuming after entering the door, looked at him a few times, made sure he was fine, then relaxed, and said, "The butler said you brought two guests back?"
Ying Wuming looked at the man, and there was a little brilliance on his indifferent face, and the eyes of the man in front of him turned back: "Well, second brother."
Talking and pointing to Pei Min who was opposite, they said: "I went to Binhu Prefecture to enjoy the scenery, and met a few little thieves who robbed me. It was the two benefactors who helped me."
The green-robed man looked at them, the expression of doubt on his face was exactly the same as that of Xiaoguang just now, but he quickly calmed down, and clasped his fists at Pei Min and said, "Thank you two young heroes, next to Ye Ji, Ye Pian Boat."
He has an extraordinary masculinity, even if he just stands there, he looks graceful and elegant.

Pei Min and Gongsun Ling both stood up and clasped their fists in return: "Don't dare, junior Gongsun Ling."
"Junior Pei Min, small character Wen Zhao, has met Leader Ye."
Gongsun Ling looked at Pei Min with some doubts. How dare he be the leader of the martial arts?No wonder there is such a temperament.

Ye Pianzhou smiled slightly, and said: "Hehe, it's all in the past. Ye Ji resigned from the position of martial arts leader three years ago, and now he lives here in seclusion with Wuxia, and doesn't care about Jianghu anymore."
As he said that, he sat down on the chair next to Ying Wuming, and raised his hand to ask Pei Min to sit down. The housekeeper Ye Quan brought a few servants to personally serve tea and cakes.

Pei Min took a sip, and said to Ye Pianzhou again: "So that's the case, no wonder I haven't heard about Senior Ye's deeds in the past few years. Every time Master talks about Senior Ye, he is full of praise, praising Senior Ye for his heroism, courage, and justice. Manage the martial arts in the Central Plains in an orderly manner."
Ye Pianzhou listened, his eyes lowered, and he murmured: "Being fair? Ye Ji really deserves it." After speaking, he looked up at Pei Min and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked my respected teacher yet. ?”
Pei Min replied, "Taihe Sword Sect, Ye Fashan."
"Really Ye?" Ye Pianzhou picked up the teacup and put it down again. This time, he took a closer look at Pei Min and said, "It turns out that he is an excellent apprentice of Ye Zhenren. He really turned out to be a boy."
"The seniors have won the prize."
"Ye Ji had the honor to meet Ye Zhenren a few times before, and got some advice from Ye Zhenren. How is Ye Zhenren? Are you still in good health?"
"Master is in excellent health, thank you senior for your concern."
During the conversation, the housekeeper Ye Quan came to inform that the food and drinks were ready and guests could be invited to the table.

The four walked into the side hall and sat down. Ye Pianzhou poured wine for Pei Min and tea for himself and Ying Wuming. He toasted to the two of them and said, "Ye and Wuxia have injuries, so they are not suitable for drinking. Please come and drink." A young hero Haihan, Ye Ji is here to replace wine with tea, toast the two young heroes, and thank the two for their kindness in saving each other."
Pei Min and Gongsun Ling drank it all in one gulp, and replied, "Senior, you are welcome."
Several people chatted happily during the meeting.However, Gongsun Ling secretly observed the two of them in private, and saw that Ye Pianzhou and Ying Wuming were both considerate and meticulous to each other, serving each other tea and vegetables.Seeing that Gongsun Ling was shocked, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

After the end, the two were taken to the guest house Yufengyuan to wash the dust and rest.

After Gongsun Ling washed and changed, she couldn't wait to look for him in Pei Min's room.

"Brother Pei, have you rested yet?" Gongsun Ling knocked on Pei Min's door.

"Not yet." Pei Min opened the door, looked at Gongsun Ling, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Junior Sister Ling."
Gongsun Ling rolled his eyes from side to side, and said, "Can I go in and talk about it?"

"Of course." Pei Min stepped aside and let Gongsun Ling enter the room.

Seeing Pei Min close the door, Gongsun Ling couldn't hold back her words for a long time, and said to Pei Min in a low voice, "Senior Brother Pei, have you noticed?"

Pei Min sat down and poured water for the two, handed Gongsun Ling a cup, and asked with a puzzled face, "What?"

Gongsun Ling sat down, took a sip of water, and whispered in a mysterious voice: "The leader Ye and Ying Wuming! Both of them are clearly men, but they are them."
They couldn't speak for a long time, Gongsun Ling blushed, and really didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Pei Min understood, and only smiled lightly when he heard the words: "I understand."
"You understand? You understand but are still so calm? Don't you think...?" Gongsun Ling felt trembling all over thinking about it.

Pei Min thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Although it's a bit different from the common sense of the world, as long as they are sincere and treat each other sincerely, they don't need to pay attention to the opinions of the world. As outsiders, we naturally have a hard time." Comment on them more and let things take their course."
Gongsun Ling didn't expect Pei Min to say these words. After deep contemplation in his head, he suddenly felt that he was very narrow-minded, so he raised his eyes, put his chin on his hand and smiled at Pei Min, and said, "Senior Brother Pei, I didn't expect you It's a bit silly, but the truth is very sincere..It really is Ye Guoshi's master disciple."
Pei Min raised one eyebrow, why did he say he was stupid again?
Seeing his expression, Gongsun Ling suddenly felt a little tremor in his heart, put down his hand resting on his chin, and began to feel a little uncomfortable.

Pei Min asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Only now did Gongsun Ling realize that he was in a man's wing room in the middle of the night, and a man and a woman were alone in a room.

Shaking his head, dismissing inappropriate thoughts, we have eaten and slept together in the suburbs for so many days, and now we are just in the same room
After thinking for a long time, he still felt palpitations, so he hurriedly said to Pei Min: "It's late, Senior Brother Pei, you should go to bed earlier, I'm going back to the room." After speaking, he quickly walked out of the room, leaving behind Pei Min with an inexplicable expression.

----------

Waking up the next morning, after Gongsun Ling finished her breakfast, she walked around the village, and not long after, she heard a few melodious zither sounds.

Gongsun Ling was overjoyed, knowing that Master Zhuangzi was playing the zither, he could ask him about the rhythm so as to integrate into his dance skills, so he followed the zither sound.

Walking to a lake in the backyard, he saw Ying Wuming playing the piano.The morning light shone on his fair face, peaceful and elegant like dust, and his slender and elegant fingers caressed the strings, reminding Gongsun Ling of the "National Wind·Zhou Nan" in the "Book of Songs" - "The Toe of the Lin" , Mr. Zhenzhen, Yu Qilinxi. 』

The sound of the song is clanging, Ying Wuming opens his mouth and sings it carefully.

"Beat the drums to make them boring, and use the soldiers enthusiastically."Soil country city canal, I alone southbound. .』

It is "Beifeng · Drumming" in "The Book of Songs".Gongsun Ling felt strange, with whom would he never leave in the war?
"The agreement between life and death is broad, and it is said with Zicheng.Hold your hand, with a long marriage.Yu Kuo Xi, do not live Xi.Yu Xi Xun Xi, do not believe me. 』

Ying Wuming chanted, and lightly pressed the strings with both hands to stop the sound of the piano.Turning to look at Gongsun Ling, she smiled slightly and said, "Did you sleep well last night? Mr. Gongsun?...or... Mrs. Gongsun?"
