C394 A Silent Woman
Master Xue's eyes narrowed into slits. He poured himself a glass of wine. He raised his hands and said with a smile on his face, "The three of you are the heroes of today. Although I am not from the Jianghu, I like to befriend the heroes of the world. From now on, the three of you can stay in my residence for a long time. I'll treat it as a good meal. " After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine. Then, he turned around and left. The butler followed closely behind.
Sun Ba saw this and couldn't help but sigh. He said, "This Master Xue is indeed a figure. Such a temper and disposition is really hard to understand. "
Changqing looked at Master Xue's back and couldn't help but frown. Chen Ziping, on the other hand, seemed to be much more relaxed. He continued to pour and drink his own wine.
The atmosphere of drinking was a little strange. Changqing looked serious and was thinking about the problem. Chen Ziping drank as if there was no one else around, while Sun Ba talked to himself and the two of them.
Changqing stayed in Xue Prefecture for a few days. This place was no different from the other courtyards. The only difference was. . . Every day, there would be people competing in the arena. However, the number of people who could win five matches in a row every day was less than three. As for these experts who won, they were separated in groups, and the chances of them meeting each other were very low.
One day, the steward of Xue Mansion came to find Changqing and the others. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Three heroes, my master is inviting all of you to the south side of the main hall. You must be rewarded when the time comes. "
Chen Ziping frowned and finally spoke. "Tomorrow is not the auspicious day. What kind of guest did Master Xue invite?"
The butler smiled. " Many heroes of the Jianghu have gathered in the Xue Prefecture, and most of them have yet to know each other. We can use this opportunity to introduce each other. " Then, he paused for a moment and said, "When the time comes, my old master and my wife will also come. "
Sun Ba pursed his lips and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. "Your old master and wife are not young either, what's there to see?"
The butler smiled but did not say anything.
The main hall in the south of the Xue Mansion was ridiculously large, to the extent that it could accommodate a hundred tables in one go.
When Changqing arrived at the main hall, he found out that there were nearly a thousand guests in the Xue Mansion. Many of them were famous chivalrous men in the martial arts world.
The food and drinks were very sumptuous. Sun Ba was still as impolite as before. He pulled Changqing and Chen Ziping to an empty seat and sat down. He opened a jar of wine and drank to his heart's content.
Everyone had already sat down. At this time, Master Xue walked out. He looked a little nervous. After a cup of wine, He took a deep breath and said, "Everyone knows that I married a concubine before the situation changed. Not only did I have a lot of money, but I also have a lot of money. Today, I will invite my wife out. Cheers to everyone "
The crowd was in an uproar as they discussed in low voices.
Changqing pulled Sun Ba over and asked with a smile, "Brother Sun, what kind of person does Madam Xue think she is?"
Sun Ba disapproved and said, "This Master Xue is not even sixty years old. Even if he has a big family, what kind of outstanding beauty can he marry?"
"That's not right!" The one who spoke was none other than Chen Ziping.
Changqing smiled. "Have you seen this Mrs. Master Xue?"
Chen Ziping shook his head and said, "I have never seen her!"
Changqing did not understand. "Then why do you say so, Brother Chen?"
Chen Ziping said, "I heard it from someone else. "
Changqing asked, "What did that person say?"
Chen Ziping said, "Everyone says that Master Xue's wife is a devastatingly beautiful woman!"
"So you also want to see her face?"
Chen Ziping nodded and said, "Yes!"
Sun Ba couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Isn't she a yellow-faced woman?"
Chen Ziping glanced at him and said, "Have you never heard of her?"
Sun Badao: "I just want to eat and drink here. As for the appearance of the Minister Counsellor's wife, that's none of my business!"
The Minister Counsellor's wife walked out. She was indeed very beautiful. She was around thirty years old and had a good figure. She wore a light red dress and her eyes were shining with a seductive light.
Chen Ziping couldn't help looking at her in a daze. It was as if his entire soul had been hooked by her. Even Sun Ba, who had always been carefree, couldn't help but stare at the minister's wife a few more times.
However, although the beauty was beautiful, she was a mute who had never smiled before. Changqing couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes, the heavens were really fair. They gave her a face that could topple cities and cities, but it made her a person who didn't know how to speak or smile.
Most of the people in the Jianghu who came to Xue Prefecture were here for the good wine and dishes. It wasn't a bad thing for them to take a look at the beauty. As for a chivalrous man like Chen Ziping who only wanted to see the Councilman's wife, there were very few of them.
Changqing stayed in Xue Prefecture for two more days and did not find anything unusual. He could only sneak out when no one was paying attention.
The cool wind, the green moss, and the slowly flowing stream. . . There was still some thin ice, and the trees on the shore hadn't sprouted yet.
The bonfire was still burning, and the pot was filled with a tempting fragrance. The wine on the side had almost been heated up.
Duan Tianya stirred the pot with a spoon, then scooped out a piece of meat and put it into his mouth to chew. He ate with relish. Little Zhuge grabbed his spoon and scooped out a spoonful of soup. Just as he was about to drink it, he saw Changqing walking over from a distance.
Little Zhuge put down the spoon and said with a smile. "Instead of eating your delicacies in Xue Prefecture, you came here to eat the wild vegetables in the mountains. What exactly do you think?"
Changqing picked up the spoon and scooped up a big piece of meat. He teased, "There is such a thing in the mountain vegetables. Are you afraid that I will snatch it away?"
Duan Tianya picked up the wine beside him and poured a bowl for Changqing. He said, "You came back in a few days. Did you find something?"
Changqing smiled. "It was exactly because I didn't find anything that I came back so quickly. "
"There's nothing out of the ordinary?" Little Zhuge was puzzled.
Changqing nodded and said, Yes. " Yes!"
Little Zhuge frowned and said, "That's strange. Apart from this Xue Mansion, there was no other movement in the martial arts world. Could it be that Leng Qingluo has disappeared?"
Duan Tianya said, "Since that is the case, why don't we make a trip there. "
Little Zhuge said," You want to make a trip personally? "
Duan Tianya nodded and said. "Of course!"
Little Zhuge said, "If Leng Qingluo sees you, she will definitely hide from the limelight for the time being. "
Duan Tianya said, "We can disguise ourselves. "
Little Zhuge smiled and said, "In today's Jianghu, there is no such brilliant person who can disguise himself. "
Duan Tianya said, "There is no need for any experts, as long as they can dress up a little. "
Little Zhuge said, "Oh?"
Duan Tianya sighed and continued, "Whether Xue Prefecture is human or ghost, let's check it out. "
