    Not only was Tang Qingxiao shocked, but following his words, He Si'er also turned to look at the old woman next to her, and was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.  +

    There are many old ladies in the world, but in Tangjiapu, there is only one who can deserve this title, and that is Mrs. Tang, one of the leaders of Tangjiapu.  And this old lady Tang is definitely the most famous, the most unpredictable and the most awe-inspiring old lady in the world.

    He Si'er couldn't believe that this old woman who looked very ordinary and had a kind face was one of the leaders of Tangjiabao who was famous all over the world for being able to stop children from crying at night.  But Tang Qingxiao has already recognized it, that is, it will never be wrong.

    Mrs. Tang smiled, took a puff of cigarette, and said casually: "The weather is nice today. I went for a walk after dinner. I happened to be nearby and came to see you two."

    Tang Qingxiao and He Si'er did not speak. Although Mrs. Tang sounded like an old farm lady who came to visit, she was not really just an old farm lady.

    The old lady stepped forward and looked at the sword that Tang Qingxiao had been looking at in a daze before. Her eyes were filled with sadness and kindness, as if she were looking at a child or grandchild who had passed away. She kept mumbling in silence, but from time to time she lifted the cigarette rod.  Put it in her mouth and take a puff, making her face look hazy in the blue smoke.

    After a long while, Mrs. Tang slowly spoke: "Zheng Zheng is one of my favorite grandchildren, although I did not grow up watching himI am very sad to learn that he is no longer here"  .I didn¡¯t even dare to look at the knife he left behind. But I didn¡¯t expect that I can¡¯t even see that knife anymore"

    Tang Qingxiao said nothing.  Just buried his head lower.

    "Qingxiao, you don't have to blame yourself too much, no one will blame you." Mrs. Tang did not look back.  But he seemed to see Tang Qingqing's look and what was in his heart.  "You also know that if we, the Tang family, want to gain a foothold in this bloody world, we must pay a price. Every generation of the Tang family has died in fighting and fighting, and countless people have died in conspiracy and calculations, and even more so in our hands.  Hundreds of times more. This is the sin of our Tang family. Your temperament, your experiences, and your brother's death are all the result of this sin of killing. In the final analysis, it is the sin of being born into the Tang family.  There¡¯s no way out of it. So you don¡¯t have to blame yourself too much.¡±

    Mrs. Tang picked up the sword and looked at it carefully. Facing the sunlight coming in through the half-closed window, she could clearly see that there were countless small and complicated lines on the hilt and the body of the sword.  At first glance, it looks like a Taoist cloud pattern talisman, but it is not. Together with the sword body, it forms a picture that has no specific practical meaning, but gives people an inexplicable thrill.  It kills everything like the cold winter.  It also carries the meaning of being as grand and unstoppable as the torrent of humanity.

    "I heard that Monk Huiguang is going to borrow the power of the Buddha's relics to transform it into a killing sword that protects humanity So this is the murderer of my Tang family" In the smoke he exhaled, Tang  The old lady squinted her eyes, as if she was carefully feeling the charm of the lines, and seemed to be deep in thought.

    "Old lady, do you believe in Buddhism?" Tang Qingxiao couldn't help but ask.

    "When have you ever seen a Buddhist temple in Tangjiabao? When have you seen me not drinking alcohol or eating meat?" Old Mrs. Tang smiled.  This old lady must have meat and wine with every meal, and her favorite is twice-cooked pork, fish-flavored elbow, sweet and sour fish, which everyone in Tangjiapu knows.  In comparison, Mr. Tang, who never drank alcohol and only ate simple meals, looked a bit like a monk.  Of course, he certainly wasn't.

    "I only believe in what I see and feel. At most, it's just what I see and feel, some of which are similar to those of those monks." Old Mrs. Tang walked up to Tang Qingxiao, and finally  He looked at the long sword in his hand, then stretched out his hand and handed it to Tang Qingxiao, saying, "Actually, this is fine. It used to be your brother's sword, but now it's your sword."

    Tang Qingxiao reached out and took the sword, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar sword in a daze.

    "Your brother's sword is your brother's sword after all. You have to walk your own path after all. No matter how difficult it is to swing your own sword, you can only swing it yourself." Mrs. Tang said lightly.  "I think if your brother was still here, he would definitely hope so. His path was walked step by step by himself."

    "I told the old man back then that there is no need to force the boy Zheng Zheng to do anything. He does not need to force himself to be a Tang family member. He can just be himself. The old man also thinks so. Although in the end he still accepted it  I have paid our Tang family's debt, but I don't think this decision was wrong." Mrs. Tang reached out and patted Tang Qingxiao's shoulder.  "Now I am telling you the same thing, just do whatever you think you should do. Although this sword was also left to you by your brother, it is your own sword."

    "Okay. Taking advantage of the nice weather, I, the old woman, want to go for a walk and bask in the sun, so I won't hinder you and the young couple."

    Mrs. Tang is reallyLike an old lady who came to visit me, she said lightly and walked downstairs with her hands behind her back.  Only Tang Qingxiao, who was holding the sword in a daze, and He Si'er, who frowned slightly and looked at him at a loss, were left.

    After staying in a daze for a while, Tang Qingxiao's hand suddenly shook, and the long sword in his hand danced with a black and red sword flower, which was agile and deep, but also had a bit of calmness that seemed to be left behind by the thick and heavy sword before.

    With the sound of Hora, the wall facing the sword flower disintegrated and collapsed in an instant, and the bright sunshine outside shone in all at once.

    He Si'er was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide.  Her eyesight is not bad. Although the wooden wall completely disintegrated, it actually did not suffer much impact. The entire attic did not receive any unnecessary vibrations. The power contained in this sword was precise and ingenious, and it worked smoothly.  She has never seen such a state even in the hands of the Nangong family and Maoshan sect, who are skilled in swordsmanship.

    The bright sunshine shone on Tang Qingxiao's pale face, which seemed to add a lot of warmth and vitality to his expression. He took a long breath, turned to look at He Si'er and said, "Sorry,  It¡¯s been really hard on you these past few days.¡±

    He Si'er didn't understand why he suddenly said this. She just felt her eyes were a little sore and turned her head to look elsewhere.

    He raised his head and squinted at the sunny sky outside.  Tang Qingxiao suddenly said: "It turns out that the weather is really good today, why don't we go out for a walk?"

    He Si'er bit her lip and thought about it.  Still nodded: "Okay."

    The two of them walked onto the streets of Tangjiabao. The bustling pedestrians and carriages, the vendors selling goods along the street, and the Tang family members who occasionally greeted each other were still the same scenery as before, but something was different in He Si'er's heart.  The two of them walked side by side like this, really looking like a young couple.  But when she remembered what her uncle said in the letter, she felt confused for a moment.

    "I don't have many friends. Ever since I was a child, until now. It can be said that I have almost no friends." Tang Qingxiao suddenly spoke, talking casually as if chatting.  When he came down from the attic and came outside, the gloom in his expression seemed to gradually dissipate, and his whole temperament also changed somewhat.  Although he still looks a little too thin.  But it feels a little more energetic and approachable.  He scabbarded the sword and hung it on his waist. It looked no different from an ordinary long sword.

    He Si'er didn't speak. She glanced at Tang Qingxiao and turned around to look straight ahead. She just listened quietly and attentively.

    "The Tang family has no friends. Not many people dare to be friends with the Tang family. To stand tall and firm in this world of cannibalism, the Tang family has too many calculations and too many killings. So the Tang family  It's hard for my family to have friends, and I don't want to have friends. But after meeting my brother and Daoshi Xia, I realized how rare friends are. Speaking of which, my brother can actually be regarded as my friend. I just never knew it before.  ." Tang Qingxia took a deep breath.  "And my brother was implicated and killed by me. Daoshi Xia is already my last friend, so I care about him very much. He can also be considered your friend, right?"

    "Yeah." He Si'er nodded.  I was a little overwhelmed by this sudden sense of ease and intimacy.

    "Taoist Xia is really a very good and rare friend. He seems a bit philistine, but in fact he has no worries in his heart. He doesn't really care about the gains and losses. He just follows his heart. I envy him very much. I carry this burden on myself.  There are too many things that I can¡¯t put down, so I just want to watch him be free and do what he wants to do. He was rescued by Xu Zhengzhou and his master that day. Although your second uncle was deactivated from the power of divine creation,  It¡¯s difficult to chase them in person, but after all, the Shadow Shirt Guards are so powerful that I¡¯ve been a little worried, so I asked you to go to Yufang for me to get information in the past two days.¡±

    "Wellit's okay" He Si'er buried her head, not knowing what to say.  That day when she was guarding Mr. Tang on the ruins of Jingyang City, she did not see the turbulent and mysterious storm, but later she learned about it from Tang Qingxiao and Nangong Wuji.  "My uncle came out and stopped the second uncle's plans. With my uncle's temper, he will definitely not send anyone to find trouble for Daoist Xia again"

    "Nangong Wuji won't do sneaky tricks. Even our Tang family can trust this." Tang chuckled and nodded.  "There has been nothing unusual at Longhu Mountain. Zhang Yuanling was scared away at that time. He shouldn't have acted rashly until he figured out how to deal with it. Besides, there was chaos in his own backyard. As long as Taoist Xia went to Yingzhou,  The Heavenly Master Sect is also beyond our reach."

    "Yeah." He Si'er nodded.  She found it strange that the two of them had this extremely rare chat, but they were always talking about another person. But other than that, there seemed to be nothing much to say.  What more can be said?

    "What do you think about our engagement?"

    These words suddenly jumped into my ears, and He Si'er was shocked.The page was blank for a long time. She turned around to look at Tang Qingxiao in surprise, only to find that Tang Qingxiao had no deliberate expression and was just chatting casually like before.  Fortunately, the two of them had already reached a slightly remote path outside Tangjiabao, and there were no other people around.

    "Didn't you say that your uncle has stopped all your second uncle's plans? I think with your uncle's character, no matter whether he will cooperate with our Tangjiabao in the future, he will not force you to use this kind of method.  Way to maintain the relationship with Tangjiabao."

    "ErEr" He Si'er's face turned red for a while, then turned pale again.

    "You seem to be trying your best to get involved in your second uncle's plan, but in fact you are an honest person with no unnecessary worries. It is wronging you to force yourself to be involved in these transactions." Tang Qing smiled and looked at He  Si'er smiled faintly.  The pair of brows and eyes, as sharp as knives and as cold as orchids carved by ice crystals, seemed to suddenly have some warmth blooming.  "We have been together for some time, and I can see what kind of person you are. You are a friend of Taoist Xia. I am a friend of Taoist Xia, and we are almost friends. I don't want to wrong my friend. Although I am in  Aristocratic family, our marriage is not up to you. But I will take this opportunity to talk to the old man and the old lady, and it should be cancelable. So the most important thing is what do you think? "

    "II" He Si'er's head was buried so deep into her chest that her neck and ears were all red.

    ? ###

    In Yuzhou, in the old house of the Nangong family, Nangong Wuwei is walking quickly.

    If we talk about wealth.  The Nangong family is definitely one of the richest families in the world, but the most basic old house is still a small, slightly old and simple manor.

    Nangong Wuwei has just replaced Nangong Wuji as the deputy commander of the Shadow Guards.  This can be said to be one of the most powerful and influential positions in the world, but now he is walking quickly in the old house, but he is walking as slowly as possible, as if he is afraid of disturbing the purity of the house.  None of the followers dared to take him with him.  The expression on his face was also cautious and anxious.  He looked just like a child who was going to meet his teacher.

    In a field behind the house, Nangong Wuwei saw Nangong Wuji who was weeding in the field. There were several Nangong children playing in the distance. He did not dare to come forward and speak, but just stood at the edge of the field and waited.

    Nangong Wuji saw him, clapped his hands and walked out of the field. He was dressed in coarse cloth and wearing a bamboo hat.  His hands were full of soil and grass roots, and at first glance he looked like an ordinary old farmer.  He smiled at Nangong Wuwei and said, "Why. What happened again?"

    "Si'er girl has a letter. It's not a reply to eldest brother, but it's sent directly to me. She just asked me to tell it to eldest brother." Nangong Wuwei looked slightly embarrassed.  He knew that Nangong Wuji wrote a letter to He Si'er, but He Si'er actually didn't reply to the Nangong family head, and instead handed the letter to him.

    Nangong Wuji didn¡¯t seem surprised and asked, ¡°What did Si¡¯er girl say?¡±

    " She said she was grateful to her elder brother for his care and love for her, but she felt that we had made many arrangements before, and now that Shenji Hall has been handed over to the Tang family, we need to have corresponding means of containment.  . Moreover, the marriage contract has been known to both families, so it would really hurt everyone¡¯s face to regret it temporarily In short, she is still willing to marry into the Tang family. "

    "Hahahaha" Nangong Wuji laughed.  "It seems that your second brother is the only one who has not gone too far in this marriage, Si'er girl. It turns out that girls are outgoing. When you have time, go report to Jin Zhi and Fourth Sister and let them know."

    "Yes." Nangong Wuwei nodded, paused and then said, "Also Zhang Yuanling sent a letter, saying that he wanted to visit his eldest brother privately."

    Nangong Wuji replied calmly: "I have stopped taking care of things for a long time and I don't see outsiders. People like this are an eyesore."

    "It can be regarded as a family matter Zhang Yuanling's legitimate son Zhang Hengliang died in Jingzhou. His wife was so sad and angry that she died of illness after learning about it. Although he is still attending to the funeral, he said in his letter that he intended to make Xiao Luo his wife and establish Xiao Luo as his wife.  Luo's son is his legitimate son. I will only come to see my eldest brother after the mourning period is over."

    Nangong Wuji smiled coldly: "He was so decisive in killing his wife and abandoning his son, without any hesitation. It is really a pity for this man to stick to Jingnan and become a heavenly master. If he were a bandit, he could become a giant bandit in the world."

    "Thenare you going to see me or not, brother?"

    Nangong Wuji did not answer, but just asked: "Where is Zhang Yuhong? I heard that he was seriously injured and was taken back to Longhu Mountain by Zhang Yuanling. But was he seriously injured and died?"

    "No, Master Yu Hong is recuperating from his injuries. I heard that his life has been saved, but he only injured the Lingtai Dantian. I am afraid that his cultivation level cannot be saved."

    "What a pity" Nangong Wuji sighed and shook his head slightly.  After thinking about it, I asked Nangong Wuwei again.??: "Well, since he hasn't attacked Zhang Yuhong yet, I can meet him when I have the opportunity. In the future, Xidi may have to use the power of Tianshijiao."

    "Yes, I will reply to him."

    Nangong Wuji seemed to have suddenly remembered, and asked: "By the way, what happened to the little Taoist priest who obtained the Universal Talisman and was later rescued by Old Man Xu and his master?"

    "They used the Dian Cang sect's boat in Jingzhou to travel eastward, and landed in Luoshui City. They should be going to Yingzhou."

    "Going to Yingzhou? It's true that old man Xu has a lazy temperament" Nangong Wuji nodded.  "What a pity. I kind of want to see the little Taoist priest and his master If there is a chance in the future, you can help me invite them or I can go in person."
