The blind old man was sitting at the door of the courtyard, lying on a wicker chair, holding a teapot in his hand and taking a sip.
Humming a tune in his mouth, he gently stroked the sword in his arms with his other hand, looking relaxed.
And in the small courtyard.
Chu Qingxiao looked serious.
The moon shows murderous intent.
The Meng family siblings put their hands on their chests.
Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu were filled with sword intent.
The six of them stood together, staring intently at the woman in red squatting in the center.
"Explain it?" Yue Jian took the lead and handed the empty wooden box to Lu Sandao.
Lu Sandao blinked and looked at the wooden box: "This wooden box looks very exquisite. It looks like a family heirloom..."
"Why are you talking nonsense! Where is the spiritual iron jade inside?" Ziyu decisively interrupted Lu Sandao's words and asked in a cold voice.
"What kind of spiritual iron jade? I...how come I haven't seen it before?" Lu Sandao looked slightly flustered, but he still defended himself.
"Are you still lying?" Ziyu narrowed her eyes and sneered. She grabbed the wooden box, pointed at the wine stains on the wooden box that had not yet dried, and said: "In our yard, except for you,
But no one drinks anymore, please explain to me where this thing comes from."
When Lu Sandao saw this, he suddenly felt that the matter had been exposed, but he still shrank his neck and muttered: "Let's just say, is it possible that someone sneaked in..."
"Senior Sister Lu is a guard at Qingque Peak. Wouldn't you notice if someone breaks into the house and steals?"
"You can't even stand this little thief. So if I report this matter to my junior uncle, will senior sister Lu lose her position as a guard? That will cost me nearly a hundred taels of silver a month."
, that’s just a lot of fine wine.” Ziyu said again.
This incident obviously hit Lu Sandao's sore spot, and the woman was immediately frightened.
She hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no..."
"The spiritual iron jade inside is indeed...it was indeed borrowed by me temporarily."
"Borrow it temporarily?" Meng Jin raised his eyebrows, obviously not agreeing with Lu Sandao's words.
Lu Sandao shrank his neck again, lowered his head, and said a little aggrievedly: "I used to drink three meals a day at Qingque Peak, all of which were the finest blue and white wine brewed on Green Bamboo Peak.
, now because Zhao Nianshuang wants to break through, I will be thrown into Tianxuan City, and I will not be able to return home."
"Those bad wines really didn't taste good, so I couldn't help but think of a way..."
"You want to steal our spiritual iron jade?" Meng Jin heard this, and her tone suddenly became higher.
"No matter what, when Zhao Nianshuang breaks through, I will return to Qingque Peak and return to you double the spiritual iron jade I took from you..." Lu Sandao whispered with a guilty conscience.
Meng Jin became more and more angry: "Your peak will break through, and it can take half a year or several years. By then, the day lilies will be cold! Who cares about your spiritual iron jade!"
Although Meng Jin had always objected to her brother's meeting with Zheng Lingyin, she was the most anxious now that she knew that the dozens of spiritual iron jades that she had managed to save were stolen.
Seeing his sister like this, Meng Ziliang hurriedly said: "Forget it, sister..."
The look on his face dimmed as he spoke: "Actually, even if Miss Lu doesn't take away those spiritual iron jade, we won't be able to collect a thousand pieces within a month."
"On the contrary, I have made Sister, Yue Jian and Brother Chu work so hard these days..."
Everyone was still angry, but when they heard Meng Ziliang's words, they couldn't bear it, and they were about to comfort him.
Lu Sandao on the side frowned, and she couldn't help but ask: "No, why do you have to raise a thousand spiritual iron jades within a month?"
As she asked this question, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it possible that you want to buy some expensive wine?"
For this Jiu Mengzi, Ziyu secretly felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be on the same divine peak with her.
She glared at Lu Sandao angrily, and then roughly explained the matter between Meng Ziliang and Zheng Lingyin to Lu Sandao.
"Zheng Lingyin? Is that the little girl from Liuhuan Peak?" Lu Sandao asked.
"Zheng Lingyin must be in her early twenties this year, so she's not too young." Ziyu corrected.
Lu Sandao looked down at his chest, then blinked and muttered: "I remember it's really not that big..."
Everyone: "..."
"Just kidding." Seeing everyone's silence, Lu Sandao smiled and added: "Don't you just want to see her? You should have told me earlier. I have an acquaintance in Liuhuan Peak. I will write a letter right away.
, let her come to see you."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Only Ziyu seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up and she said: "Yes, why did I forget this?"
Different from being just a direct disciple of an elder in Qingque Peak, Lu Sandao is the guard of Qingque Peak.
This position is considered to be of high authority in Qingque Peak. He is the fourth person below the peak master and the two elders.
Although Lu Sandao only likes to drink wine and has little contact with other divine peaks, but regardless of his status, others will still give him a bit of a thumbs up. If she comes forward to invite Zheng Lingyin, she probably won't refuse.
Although everyone didn't quite understand the meaning behind this, seeing Ziyu's appearance, they also understood that Lu Sandao's words didn't seem to be drunken nonsense, so they all cast hopeful glances at her.
Feeling this, Lu Sandao stood up straight, coughed twice, and actually started to set up the score.
"It's not that difficult, but for me, if I don't drink for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all day long when I have to do things..." She said and looked at everyone teasingly.
How could anyone understand her thoughts? Chu Qingxiao immediately said: "If Senior Sister Lu can help Brother Meng fulfill this wish, I will have a jar of Qinghe Brewing every day for a month!"
Lu Sandao immediately beamed when he heard this: "Then it's a deal! Just wait for my good news!"
…
With Chu Qingxiao's promise of a month of Qinghe brewing, Lu Sandao's work efficiency has been significantly improved.
She left the courtyard after dinner yesterday and didn't come back until midnight, saying she was looking for an acquaintance to give Liuhuanfeng a message.
On the second day, everyone had just finished breakfast. Before Chu Qingxiao and others could set out for Qinghuan Mansion, someone knocked on the door.
The visitor was a stranger, and the first thing he wanted to do was to meet Lu Sandao.
Everyone thought that Lu Sandao had a drinking debt outside, and someone came to the door. They took out Lu Sandao, who was drunk and still drunk yesterday.
When the visitor saw Lu Sandao, he quickly bowed respectfully and then handed over a letter.
In a daze, Lu Sandao opened the letter, took a look at it, and threw it to Meng Ziliang. Then he yawned, fell into the door of his room without looking back, and fell asleep.
.
No one could figure out what happened, but Meng Ziliang, who was holding the letter, looked at it intently, his expression changing from confusion to surprise, and then from surprise to surprise in an instant.
"Sister! She agreed to see me!" Meng Ziliang excitedly grabbed Meng Jin's arms with both hands and said loudly.
Meng Jin was stunned, and took the letter from Meng Ziliang's hand and looked at it carefully, only to see that it read:
I already know what Senior Sister Lu conveyed. I do have an old relationship with Mr. Meng. Now that I have come to Tianxuan City, I should meet him. I also hope that Senior Sister Lu can help convey the message and say that I will hold a banquet at Jinyu Hall this evening.
, please Mr. Meng come on time.
Yours sincerely, Zheng Lingyin.
Meng Jin and everyone also saw clearly the beautiful handwriting on the letter paper, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy.
Meng Jin naturally did the same, but after a brief surprise, worry appeared on her brows.
She looked at her brother who was full of joy in front of her and hesitated several times.
"Ziliang... It's a good thing that Zheng Lingyin agreed to see you." But after a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but remind her: "But..."
"But don't forget, you have already..."
Everyone heard the sound and reacted at this moment. Of course it was Meng Ziliang's long-cherished wish to see Zheng Lingyin, but this long-cherished wish was also his wishful thinking.
If Zheng Lingyin had an old love for him, even if she broke off her engagement with him due to family pressure, there is no way she would not have responded to all the letters sent by Meng Ziliang for so many years.
And if Meng Ziliang went to meet her with the intention of renewing their relationship, he would definitely be disappointed.
Therefore, Meng Jin could not help but be a little worried about his younger brother at this moment.
Meng Ziliang also saw Meng Jin's worry. At that time, he smiled and comforted: "Sister, don't worry, I just want to see her, I have no other thoughts."
Meng Jin nodded worriedly after hearing this.
After all, in her opinion, Meng Ziliang's words were more like self-deception.
Just imagine if he had no other thoughts about Zheng Lingyin, how could he not forget her for so many years and still have to travel thousands of miles to visit Tianxuan Mountain.
Everyone obviously has the same view as Meng Jin about this.
"If you like it, you just like it. If you can't forget it, you can't forget it. Why do you have to lie to yourself?" Ziyu on the side muttered at that time: "I don't believe it. You just want to see Zheng Lingyin for a while. There is no other purpose?"
After hearing this, Meng Ziliang turned his head and looked at Ziyu. He thought for a while, with a slightly shy look on his face. He scratched his head and said, "It's not that there is no other purpose at all..."
"That's right." Ziyu nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, then winked at the other party and asked with a bit of curiosity: "Tell me, do you want to renew your relationship?
"
Meng Ziliang shook his head seriously at this moment, and then spoke very seriously.
"I just want to see her, let go of this obsession, and give myself an explanation."
"Then, I can concentrate on kendo."
"After all, I am the future leader of swordsmanship in the world of Dayu. If I can reach the highest level of swordsmanship as soon as possible, I can also pave the way to heaven for sword cultivators all over the world!"
