Chapter 692 The Boy and the Sword
At night, Xiaoqiao came to room No. [-] of Tianzi to help Gu Ze wash and change clothes.
Gu Ze has a gentle attitude towards her. Compared with other domestic slaves, he has a little more tacit understanding and a little less alienation and indifference.
The food in this inn is very ordinary.
"My lord, are you used to eating?" Xiaoqiao stood aside and waited.
She has a high status in the villa, and Gu Ze is willing to give her face, but Xiaoqiao has always regarded herself as a little maid beside the young master, and never puts on airs like a daughter.
Gu Ze smiled calmly and said, "It's not bad! When traveling, keep everything simple."
Xiaoqiao poured him a cup of the most famous pear blossom wine in Xuancheng, and said with a smile, "My lord! Just wait!"
A while later, Xiaoqiao borrowed the kitchen of the inn and cooked two delicate and delicious side dishes for Gu Ze.
She personally brought over the steaming and fragrant side dishes. These things can be handed over to other maids, but Xiaoqiao never refuses to let others do it.
In her mind, Mr. Gu is everything to her, and the one she will serve all her life.
Gu Ze was very face-saving, tasted Xiaoqiao's handicrafts, and smiled approvingly: "Mmm! The taste is very good! It's the same as what you eat in the villa."
Xiaoqiao raised the corners of her lips sweetly, and a look of admiration appeared on her clear and watery face.
"Young master, as long as you like it."
After dinner, Xiaoqiao waited for Gu Ze to take a bath, and brought Gu Ze a brand new fine silk gown.
Gu Ze put on new clothes, sat under the candle by the window, and read the classics intently.
The slave of the villa, Aji, ran in quietly: "My lord! I have followed your instructions to investigate the girl next door carefully."
Gu Ze's face remained normal, and he asked, "What did you find?"
Aji replied in a low voice: "She doesn't seem to be a local. Her friends in Xuancheng don't know her, and the horse she rides seems to have been snatched from A Ting."
Gu Ze nodded, with a dignified look on his face: "Okay! You continue to send people to watch."
Aji asked curiously: "Young master? There is a bloody Rakshasa in Jianghu, who is said to be a cruel young woman? Tell me, could it be the girl next door?"
Aji can also be regarded as Gu Ze's confidant, Gu Ze is not hesitant to teach: "She is not Xue Luocha, Xue Luocha is older than her, and her personality is not as cold and repulsive as her."
Aji smiled and said: "That's true. I heard that Xue Luocha is extremely beautiful. When he was in Xuancheng, he was comparable to the top card in Qihualou..."
Gu Ze frowned, he put down the classics in his hand, twisted Qingjun's nose, and walked to the window.
Ling Xiao just happened to walk over from the yard. She hadn't taken off the human skin mask yet. She looked very ordinary and would definitely not attract any men.
But for some reason, in Gu Ze's eyes, there was a different kind of coldness and elegance.
Gu Ze subconsciously opened the sandalwood window and glanced at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao felt something, and raised his head, just in time to meet his focused and probing eyes.
Ling Xiao paused, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Gu Ze's heart twitched slightly, and he had the illusion of being caught.
The next morning.
Ling Xiao was practicing martial arts in the yard. Instead of taking out the original owner's blood thorn, she picked a branch from the old locust tree in the yard to practice her lightness kung fu and Qingyun Jue.
When Gu Ze came to the window again, he saw Ling Xiao's graceful figure, his moves were sharp and unrestrained, and a branch danced like a shadow in the wind, leaving behind elusive phantoms in the air.
Gu Ze couldn't help but secretly praised, what a handsome lightness skill!
Xiao Qiao walked in from the bedroom door, holding hot water in her hand, seeing Gu Ze's concentrated figure, she came forward curiously and smiled, "Master?"
Gu Ze suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Xiaoqiao! Look! That girl is really cool!"
Xiaoqiao sensed the admiration in Gu Ze's tone, and her face darkened immediately. She suppressed the smile on her lips and asked, "My lord? You taught me martial arts before, but I couldn't learn it well. If you meet someone stronger than me in the future, A woman who is suitable for martial arts, will you know it?"
Gu Ze didn't hear the hint, and smiled openly: "Xiaoqiao! Even if you can't learn martial arts, you are still the eldest lady of the villa, the younger sister I recognize."
Is it just my sister?
Xiaoqiao's face was gloomy, and he gave a wry smile: "Yes, young master, I'm stupid and not good enough for you."
Gu Ze didn't hear clearly, still looking out of the window.
After Ling Xiao finished practicing lightness kung fu, he went back to the second room to take a shower and wash up, and had breakfast by the way.
"My lord, this is the white jade candy cake I specially bought from the sweet fruit shop in the east of the city! Eat it while it's hot!"
Xiaoqiao is agile in his hands and feet and capable in doing things. He got up early in the morning to prepare for Gu Ze's itinerary for today.
Gu Ze hummed, tasted a piece slowly and said with a smile: "The taste is still the same as before."
Xiaoqiao raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction: "Master likes it, so Xiaoqiao will learn how to do it from the master."
Gu Ze took a few sips, and for some reason, recalling Ling Xiao's valiant demeanor of practicing martial arts in the morning, he smiled and said, "Xiaoqiao! You give a copy to the girl next door!"
Xiaoqiao's eyes widened in surprise: "Master? Why are you..."
"You obviously don't know each other, and the young master has never asked about worldly affairs, so why do you care so much about the girl next door?"
Xiaoqiao is also outspoken.
Gu Ze smiled lightly: "It's nothing, I just admire that girl's martial arts, there are not many women like her with outstanding lightness kung fu."
Xiaoqiao didn't dare to disobey Gu Ze, so he could only do it obediently.
Ling Xiao opened the door, and saw Xiaoqiao holding a plate of fragrant white jade sugar cake in his hand, Xiaoqiao told her truthfully about Gu Ze's feelings.
Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback, and asked curiously, "Your young master knows me?"
Xiaoqiao looked her over carefully, and said with a smile: "My son likes to make friends in the world. The girl practiced in the yard early in the morning, and the son saw her, so..."
Ling Xiao understood, but he didn't refuse the other party's kindness.
Ling Xiao ate a piece of white jade candy cake, it was sweet but not greasy, and her mouth was fragrant. For some reason, she was not interested in the object of the original owner's crush, but now she always feels... this Gu Ze is a little different.
Ling Xiao walked around Xuancheng, and when he returned to the inn, he saw a handsome and handsome man, it was Sima Huan.
Sima Huan and Gu Ze stood together, old friends met, very enthusiastic.
"Little Gu! I'll buy you a drink! Let's go! Go to Qihualou!"
Gu Ze looked cold, and said with a smile: "A Huan! There is still something to do in the inn, how about you go after I take care of it?"
Sima Huan waved the folding fan in his hand: "Yes! I'll wait in the lobby."
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then followed quietly.
Gu Ze returned to Room No. [-], took out his pen and ink and quickly wrote a letter on paper, sealed it in a wax letter box, and tied it to a pigeon that had been kept in the villa for many years.
Ling Xiao hid in the corridor on the first floor, and when she saw a carrier pigeon flying out, she used superb lightness skills to catch up with the carrier pigeon quickly, cutting off the letter paper halfway.
Ling Xiao opened the letterhead, and a line of strong and elegant fonts came into view: Xuancheng has changed, please come to Tingshulou quickly.
Ling Xiao returned the letter paper to its original position calmly, and then released the carrier pigeon.
She was about to turn around and go back to the house when Gu Ze came to her at some point, and asked calmly, "Girl! You stole my horse and my carrier pigeon!"
Ling Xiao's expression frightened suddenly, how far has this man's martial arts reached?How could he secretly follow him without being discovered by her?
Ling Xiao stared at the other party with piercing eyes.
When you are light, you know that the flowers are more beautiful, and there is no trace of jade if you worry too much.
Gu Ze was wearing a plain brocade robe today, with a handsome figure and an orchid-like face.
Standing in front of Ling Xiao, he didn't look like a consummate martial arts master, but rather a modest son of a scholarly family.
