Chapter 1557: Cheng Ying leaves and scares Xiao Long Nu
The second year of Chunyou, the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

As usual, Su Mingzhe came to the foot of the mountain and bought daily necessities while sending a message to Guo Jing and his wife through the disciples of the Beggar Gang to report their safety.

On the way back to the ancient tomb, he was going to use teleportation to go directly back to the tomb to avoid wasting time.

In just over a month, he will be leaving.

He didn't want to waste any time with Xiaolongnu.

However, after leaving the town, he noticed that there was someone following him, so he had to walk a few more miles of mountain roads.

Wait until you reach a secluded mountain road where no one is around.

Su Mingzhe then turned around and smiled at a girl in the woods wearing a bamboo green cotton jacket and pleated skirt.

"Miss, you have followed me all the way, but is there anything you want to ask me?"

"My humble self, Cheng Ying, greets Master Su!"

Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang's cousin.

She found the ancient tomb more than two months ago.

However, what surprised Su Mingzhe was that this girl had been secretly observing Lu Wushuang's diet, daily life, and cultivation, and had never shown up.

Now that Cheng Ying suddenly appeared in front of him, she must have something to say.

"Cheng Ying? Are you Lu Wushuang's cousin?"

Su Mingzhe frowned slightly, pretending to be thinking, and after a moment, he suddenly realized:
"Ms. Cheng, I heard Wushuang mention you. You are her cousin..."

"Mr. Su, actually I..."

Cheng Ying wanted to explain that she was now a disciple of the East Evil Huang Yaoshi and was Su Mingzhe's aunt.

However, she suddenly remembered that her cousin was Su Mingzhe's niece.

So, the words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back. After a moment, she said with embarrassment:
"Master Su, I came here this time with a letter. I want you to help deliver it to Wushuang. Just say... just say that a disciple of the Beggars' Sect asked you to help pass it on!"

Go ahead, Cheng Ying took out a letter with body temperature and fragrance from her sleeve and handed it to Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe took it and asked doubtfully:

"Miss Cheng, it's not far from here to the ancient tomb. Why don't you personally take us up the mountain to meet Wushuang?"

"Master Su, I still have things to do, so it's not convenient for me to go up the mountain!"

Cheng Ying, who has always been considerate, knew that what she was about to do was very dangerous. If she met her cousin, she was afraid she would not be able to leave.

Su Mingzhe pondered for a moment and guessed the reason:
"Are you going to find Li Mochou and avenge the Lu family?"

"Master Su is really smart and wise. Cheng Ying would like to ask you to help keep it secret."

Seeing that Su Mingzhe guessed it right, Cheng Ying did not dare to hide it, but a look of pleading appeared in her beautiful big eyes.

Five years ago, Li Mochou wiped out the entire Lu family, and only Cheng Ying was rescued by Huang Yaoshi.

Lu Wushuang fell into Li Mochou's hands and was often beaten, tortured and abused.

If it weren't for Hong Lingbo who showed compassion and took care of her from time to time, Lu Wushuang would probably not be alive today.

It is because I know that my cousin has had a hard life over the years and has only just lived a loving life for half a year.

Cheng Ying was reluctant to let her cousin go with her to seek revenge on Li Mochou.

"Okay, I agree, but please be careful along the way, Miss Cheng!"

Su Mingzhe said, and took out two bottles of pills from his pocket and threw them over:
"This is the detoxification pill I made when I had nothing to do. Please accept it!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Cheng Ying looked at Su Mingzhe gratefully, then turned and left.

After secretly following her cousin for three months, she left quietly again.

Su Mingzhe knew that Cheng Ying was not as strong as Li Mochou, but he did not stop her.

After being threatened by herself, Li Mochou now lives in the Miao area in Yunnan and Guizhou.

She hid there, firstly to recover the "Five Poison Palm" that was destroyed by Su Mingzhe, and secondly to avoid Su Mingzhe's limelight.

In this era when information is not well developed, it is not easy for Cheng Ying to find Li Mochou who is trying to avoid her.

……

Returning to the ancient tomb, Su Mingzhe handed Cheng Ying's letter to Lu Wushuang.

Lu Wushuang was very happy when she saw the letter from her cousin.

However, after hearing that it was handed over by a Beggars' Sect disciple, she felt a little sorry. She had been separated from her cousin for more than five years.

Now that I have received the news that the other party is safe and sound, it is such a pity that we cannot meet again.

……

The next day, it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Grandma Sun cooked a pot of Laba porridge.

Several people had breakfast.

Not to mention Lu Wushuang going to practice martial arts.

Su Mingzhe followed Xiao Longnu to the pavilion in the ancient tomb and sat cross-legged opposite her.

As usual, the two began to play piano and flute together.

At the beginning, it was Xiaolongnu who played according to her heart.

In the end, it turned out to be Su Mingzhe's 'attack'.

What is this, the phoenix seeking the hen and the beauty's chant?

Su Mingzhe remembered countless things in his mind.

Xiao Longnu had never been exposed to such romantic music before. When she first heard it, she felt a little unfamiliar and couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

However, even if she didn't understand, she could feel the man's strong love through the sound of the flute.

I don’t know how long it took.

Xiao Long Nu's face felt a little hot under Su Mingzhe's scorching gaze, so she could only turn her head away:

"Junior brother, let's stop here today."

"Okay."

Su Mingzhe reluctantly looked away and put away the jade flute.

Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Calculating the time, it has been more than five years since I came to this plane.

When spring comes, the Mongolian army will march south.

As Guo Jing's eldest disciple, Su Mingzhe must return to Xiangyang to defend the city.

Know that you have a tight schedule and heavy tasks.

Thinking of this, he looked at his sweetheart with a firm gaze and asked:
"Senior sister, have you consulted the Grandmaster these days about our marriage?"

"not yet……"

Xiaolongnu lowered her head shyly, which was rare for her.

She swore in front of her master that she would not marry unless she met a good man in this life.

And the standard is to make the other party go through a life and death test.

For a moment, she couldn't think of any way to make Su Mingzhe experience a life-and-death test.

Su Mingzhe had no idea of ​​Xiaolongnu's inner struggle.

Seeing that Xiao Long Nu was still delaying, he could only sigh helplessly:

"Sister, the Mongolian army will march south again next year. I must return to Xiangyang to help my master defend the city. If... something unexpected happens, I will ask someone to cremate me... Sister, can my ashes be buried in the ancient tomb?"

When Su Mingzhe was talking about the "accident", an abnormal blush suddenly appeared on Xiao Longnu's originally fair face:
"Accident? Aren't you a disciple of the great hero Guo Jing? Could there be any danger?"

"Who can say for sure what will happen on the battlefield?"

Su Mingzhe let out a long sigh, as if he would really die in battle after a major war next year.

Of course, he won't die!
Not only will you not die, but you will also live as long as heaven!

However, he just wanted to use this incident to scare Xiao Longnu.

Otherwise, Xiaolongnu would definitely continue to refuse to open her heart and refuse to accept Su Mingzhe.

as predicted.

After hearing what Su Mingzhe said, all kinds of thoughts kept turning around in Xiaolongnu's mind.

After Su Mingzhe left, she paced back and forth in the pavilion for a long time, unable to calm down for a long time.

Finally, Xiao Longnu made a decision, returned to the bedroom, and found Grandma Sun's "throwing blocks".
