Nan Qiao finally got off the carriage. After seeing the big peach tree, the big peach tree reminded her of a story of a previous dynasty I saw in the book.

There was a poet named Cui Hu in the previous dynasty. One day he traveled alone to the south of the capital. He was thirsty on the way and happened to pass by a farmhouse full of flowers and plants in front of the door, so the poet knocked on the door for a drink. The woman who opened the door was handed to the poet with water, and she leaned on the little peach and looked in love. Her youthful face and the pink peach blossoms in March shone together. The next year, the poet was unstoppable and stepped in to search again. However, the door was as good as before, but the beauty could not be found again. The poet felt lost in his heart, so he wrote a seven-character charity on the door:

Last year, today, people's faces and peach blossoms complement each other.

I don’t know where the faces of the human faces go, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.

Although Nan Qiao knew that the current situation did not conform to the artistic conception of the poem, the peach blossoms still smiled at the spring breeze. She liked it very much, just like the big peach tree at this moment, with love coming from nowhere, and affection coming from nowhere, just like that.

After getting off the carriage, Nan Qiao and Ciyin walked side by side, and the butler Liang Wenqin followed closely with his things.

At the entrance of the alley, the stall of the meat seller was very conspicuous. On the hanging flag in front of the door, a big Zhu character was swaying in the wind. The butler Liang Wenqin walked to the meat stall, first greeted Uncle Zhu politely, and then slowly said: "Shopkeeper, can you ask about something?"

As he said that, Liang Wenqin took out an inlay of silver from his cuff, about ten taels.

Uncle Zhu only looked up at Liang Wenqin, not paying much attention to the money he placed on the chopping board. "Does the guest want to buy meat?" Uncle Zhu smiled.

The moment hesitated against the other party's eyes, Liang Wenqin had a moment of hesitation. He was wary and frowned slightly. Liang Wenqin's movements were very small, and all reactions were completed in an instant. He claimed that he had not let the other party notice. He subconsciously glanced at the honest butcher twice, but when he looked at it again, he did not realize anything special. Perhaps it was his own illusion, he explained.

Liang Wenqin knew the reason why the butcher asked the question, and thought he was unwilling to accept the ten taels of silver for no reason, so he smiled and said, "There is not much left in the store, and this ten taels of silver is my money to buy meat."

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you." Uncle Zhu replied with a silly smile. Only then did he take the ten taels of silver that Liang Wenqin had placed on the chopping board.

"What the guest wants to ask, please tell me. If I know, I will definitely tell you." Uncle Zhu said while wrapping the meat.

Liang Wenqin was not vague and went straight to the point: "Can the store know that there is a middle-aged man named Li Chengren in our alley?"

"Li Chengren?" Uncle Zhu muttered after hearing this.

Liang Wenqin followed: "That's right, can the store have an impression?"

Uncle Zhu stopped the work of chopping meat in his hand and stood there for a moment of contemplation. Then, he suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I remembered that Xiaokuan'er's master seemed to be called Li Chengren."

"I dare to ask the shop owner, Xiao Kuang'er you mentioned is a young man named Shen Kuang." Hearing this, Liang Wenqin asked with some joy.

Uncle Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Kuang'er's surname is Shen, so she is Shen Kuang." When he said the sentence of Shen, Uncle Zhu intentionally or unintentionally increased a little tone. If he didn't listen carefully, others would only think that it was his words that were excited and released.

Liang Wenqin naturally did not pay attention to this detail. When he only asked Xiao Kuanger in the butcher's account was the person they were looking for, he was excited to see the famous Sword God senior.

"Some people walked in the alley, and the house with a willow tree in the yard is the one." Uncle Zhu pointed the direction to the people while smiling.

When Nan Qiao and Ciyin heard this, they followed Uncle Zhu's finger and looked over. The alley was very deep and they could not see the willow tree that Uncle Zhu mentioned at a glance.

Liang Wenqin took the wrapped meat, said thanks to Uncle Zhu, and then followed Nan Qiao and Ciyin's footsteps to the depths of the alley.

On the way, the three of them were attracted by the structure of the houses in Hongni Lane. Liang Wenqin, who was knowledgeable, explained to the two: "This herringbone-shaped house structure is very similar to the customs of the East China Sea in the Great Wei Dynasty. I think some people in the alley migrated from there."

Nan Qiao still remembers the master's statement about Chen Kuang's life experience, saying that he was probably from the Shen family in the Donghai twenty years ago. Therefore, Nan Qiao later checked the records of the incident in the file at home. Li Chengren's figure suddenly appeared in that incident. It was also in the battle of the East China Sea that he fought alone against the five great masters of the imperial court and was given the title of Nanke Sword God now.

So when I saw these customs and buildings in the alleys in the East China Sea, Nan Qiao felt more and more that his master's statement was correct.

Although Uncle Liang also knew a lot of secrets from that time, he didn't know Chen Kuan's specific identity, and Nan Qiao had no intention of saying it. She knew in her heart that such a sensitive identity would definitely bring disaster to Chen Kuan, not to mention that the people from Jiantiansi and Diwang are now in Wumeiwu City.

———

A gentle knock came from outside the wooden door.

Chen Kuang and Su Yao, who were meditating under the willow tree, heard it immediately. Before they opened their eyes, Chen Kuang knew that it was Miss Chen'er who was called to deliver famous posts by their own lady, Chen Kuang and Su Yao liked this cute little girl who had been called to her to deliver famous posts, like a little sister. Although Chen Kuang always refused, Chen'er didn't care over time. He came with the lady's famous post, and then sat under the willow tree in the courtyard to have a cup of tea. Occasionally chatted with Mr. Chen and then went back to report his life.

Chen Kuang habitually thought that Chen'er was coming again, so he didn't open his eyes and just shouted softly: "The door is not closed, come in directly!" After that, he continued to meditate again.

"Young Master Chen!" Suddenly, a dull man's voice came into Chen Kuan's ears.

Chen Kuang and Su Yao opened their eyes almost at the same time, and looked at the three people appearing in front of the fence gate in surprise. The two of them immediately stood up. After seeing Dugu Nanqiao and Ciyin, Chen Kuang was a little surprised. The middle-aged man who was talking also had an impression of Chen Kuang. He was the one who presided over the first street competition with Dugu Nanqiao.

"Who are you here?" Chen Kuang frowned and looked at the three of them, asking in confusion.

Neither Nan Qiao nor Ci Yin were looking at Chen Kuang. Since they saw Su Yao, their eyes had never left each other. When they heard Chen Kuang talking and suddenly looked at him, they did not expect that the woman he saw last night would be Chen Kuang's wife.

After hearing Chen Kuang's question, Liang Wenqin put the gift on the stone table and smiled: "Young Master Chen, do you still remember me?"

Chen Kuang looked at those things and didn't know how to shirk responsibility for a moment, so he nodded and responded: "Kid still remember that you were the senior who hosted the competition that day."

When I heard Chen Kuang, I still remember that Liang Wenqin's smile was even stronger and he said carelessly: "Liao Wenqin is the housekeeper of General Dugu's Mansion in Qiuluo City. My lady knows that Lingshi and Yunmeng Mountain have an old age. Since I came to Meiwu City this time, as a junior lady, I naturally need to come and have a visit. I wonder where Senior Sword God is at this moment?"

Chen Kuang had just thought for a long time and thought about the reasons why the three of them came here, but he didn't expect Dugu Nanqiao to come to the door for such a reason. So he replied seriously: "The master had already left Meiwu City and traveled around the world a few months ago. As for when he would come back, it depends on his mood, so this time it may disappoint Butler Liang and Miss Dugu."

After saying that, Chen Kuang signaled the three of them to sit down and poured a cup of tea for them one by one.

Because there were only four chairs on the stone table, Su Yao returned to the house alone. Until Su Yao left, Nan Qiao and Ciyin's eyes remained on her intentionally or unintentionally.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

From the moment Nan Qiao saw Su Yao and Chen Kuang meditate under the tree together, her originally calm heart had turmoil again. Ciyin naturally had the same idea as Nan Qiao. She even began to feel that Chen Kuang was not happy at all. With a family, she dared to go to Yunmeng Mountain to ask for a marriage proposal. She felt that Master Yun was not serious enough that day. Thinking of this, she felt angry and looked at Chen Kuang's eyes became more and more unfriendly.

Chen Kuang naturally didn't know what Ciyin was thinking at the moment. After sitting down and saying a few words to Liang Wenqin, he looked at Dugu Nanqiao sitting on his right hand. Nanqiao just looked up at that time, with his eyes facing each other, but soon they separated.

Perhaps he noticed a bit of awkward atmosphere, Liang Wenqin, who was chatting, smiled and said calmly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Chen had a family at a young age, and there was no more young talent than this!"

This was the second time that Su Yao was misunderstood by others and Chen Kuang was a little confused. Su Yao had already rolled his eyes a lot when she heard Yu Wenyuan’s misunderstanding. This time, if she heard it again, it would not be a problem that rolling eyes could solve. So, when she heard Liang Wenqin’s words, Chen Kuang subconsciously turned around and looked into the room. After seeing that Su Yao no longer had the door, he hurriedly explained: "Butler Liang misunderstood. That girl is just one of my old friends, not my wife."

"Haha, I misunderstood. But Mr. Chen and that girl look very good, look very good." Liang Wenqin smiled.

Although this sounds a bit strange, it is also praising them after all, so Chen Kuang did not refute anything. However, Ci Yin, who was beside him, disappeared after knowing that Su Yao was just Chen Kuang's friend, and once again felt that Chen Kuang was pleased. When he heard the inappropriate words of Butler Liang, Ci Yin felt that Butler Liang looked displeased.

When Nan Qiao heard Chen Kuang say that Su Yao was just a friend, his originally ups and downs gradually calmed down. Not only that, he was even a little happy.

———

After sitting for a while, Liang Wenqin knew that staying here would only cause obstacles to the conversation between the other three, so he found an excuse and left for a moment, leaving the space for the three of them.

After Liang Wenqin left, the atmosphere between the three people was a little stiff. Chen Kuang looked up at Dugu Nanqiao and Ciyin, and found that Nanqiao was lowering his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He had to look at Ciyin and said softly: "Senior Sister Ciyin!"

Ciyin smiled and asked, "How is Junior Brother Chen Kuang's injury?"

As soon as Ciyin finished speaking, Nan Qiao, who was sitting beside him, hurriedly said, "Master doesn't want to hurt you, you... don't take it to heart."

Chen Kuang smiled and said, "Miss Seven, don't worry. I know that Senior Riyun didn't really want to hurt me that way. They were all skin trauma. It would be cured after taking care of it for a few days."

"That's good, that's good." Nan Qiao seemed to feel relieved and relieved after hearing him say it.

After saying this, the three of them fell into a brief silence again. Nan Qiao lowered his head and held the teacup in both hands.

Ciyin, who was sitting opposite Shen Kuang, spoke again: "Yesterday, I saw Junior Brother Chen Kuang, the Yuwen family and the people from Louwailou. Did Junior Brother Chen Kuang cooperate with them?"

Chen Kuang didn't cover up and replied: "Senior sister guessed right. They all came to me a few days ago. I was also interested in the Fu Xuan Sword in the Qinling Mountains, so I joined them."

Chen Kuang said casually as if he had not considered the causes and consequences. So when Nan Qiao heard this, Mu Ran raised his head and said nervously: "You can believe the people of the Yuwen family, but you must be careful of the people of Louwailou. The factions in Louwailou are complicated, so don't be secretly tripped up by someone. When I came, my father told me that there was a genius figure named Jiang Ning, who was the girl who was with you yesterday. Don't think that I was talking bad about her behind the scenes, and you should remember to be careful."
