Wu Liuding gently opened the door and said in a bitter tone, "Aunt Nalan, why are you scaring people? Be careful that I don't let Cui Hua add green onions and fried eggs to your noodles! "
The woman gave him a coquettish look and joked, "In this family, your words don't count."
Wu Liuding immediately smiled and ran behind her. "Are your shoulders sore? Do you want to rub them?"
The woman laughed and scolded, "Now you know how to flatter? It's too late. You men can take revenge for ten years, but we women hold grudges for a hundred years! "
While Nalan Yujin was sitting in a chair and patiently waiting for the pickled cabbage noodles, Wu Liuding helped her rub her shoulders. "Holding grudges is one thing, but I still have to rub them. My filial piety can be seen by the sun and moon!"
The young Jian Guan was too familiar with this woman, so he spoke without restraint. He clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Aunt Nalan, your scenery is so magnificent that it's out of control. I can't even see where your legs are. I'm curious. If later that guy surnamed Xu suddenly wants to hug you, won't it be very difficult to hug you?"
The woman was neither angry nor shy. Instead, she smiled and said, "This flattery is refreshing. Aunt will accept it."
Wu Liuding said with a mischievous grin, "Aunt Nalan, your shamelessness can be said to have been cultivated for a thousand years. When I get back, I'll definitely tell that Xu fellow that if there comes a day when North Rejecting City is about to fall, I'll have him invite Aunt to the top of the city wall. Then, the Northern Mang barbarians can forget about crossing this city wall!"
The woman gently shook her shoulders and deftly flicked away Wu Liuding's hands. "Brat, get out of my way."
Wu Liuding pulled a chair and sat beside her. He put away his cynical look and asked seriously, "Aunt, you don't really like that brat, do you? What's so good about him? He's just a little handsome, a little good at martial arts, and a little big title. He's absolutely not good enough for you! "
Nalan Yujin bent over and knocked on the young man's forehead with her finger. "You can't change your habit of eating shit. How many times have I told you not to joke so seriously? Women in the world are most worried about this kind of man. They are afraid that he is unreliable! "
Wu Liuding maliciously glanced at the beautiful scene of the woman pressing down heavily on the table. Then, he deliberately held the table with a terrified expression. "Auntie, be careful. Don't collapse the table. You have to compensate the surnamed Xu!"
Nalan Yujin turned her head and said with a smile, "Cuihua, Wu Liuding secretly asked me whether you like him or secretly like Hsu Fengnian."
Wu Liuding was really terrified now. He waved his hand and said with a sad face, "Auntie, I'll kneel down for you. Please don't make this kind of joke. Cui Hua really won't talk to me for a whole month!"
Not long after, Cuihua walked into the room with two bowls of pickled vegetable noodles. One bowl was placed in front of Nalan Yujin and the other bowl was placed in front of Wu Liuding. However, she 'forgot' to bring him a pair of chopsticks.
Nalan Yujin made a face at Wu Liuding who wanted to cry but didn't dare to take the chopsticks. Then, she comfortably ate the noodles and added oil to the fire. "Eating noodles with chopsticks is so fragrant."
Wu Liuding sat on the chair and looked down, not moving at all.
When Nalan Yujin almost finished the bowl of noodles, Cuihua asked, "Are you unhappy because I don't like Hsu Fengnian?"
Wu Liuding said firmly, "You can beat me to death!"
"Oh," she said indifferently. "Go get the chopsticks."
Wu Liuding was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He ran to get a pair of chopsticks and sat down. He lowered his head and wolfed down the noodles.
Nalan Yujin put down her chopsticks and leaned back comfortably against the back of the chair. She sighed and said, "When I was waiting for death in the Sword Tomb, I wanted to leave that damned place so badly that I almost went crazy. Now that I'm out, I don't know why, but I miss that place where there are only swords. However, although I miss it, I definitely don't want to go back. "
Wu Liuding finished the pickled vegetable noodles and wiped his mouth. He looked like he hadn't had enough.
Nalan Yujin said seriously, "There's something that Hsu Fengnian asked me to tell you two. He changed his mind and doesn't intend to fulfill the oath that the hundred of us made with the Wu family's Sword Tomb. Instead, he wants us to leave as we wish. If he's afraid that the Wu family will settle accounts later, it's fine. He will make a mess and let those who are willing to leave go to the relatively peaceful Gourd Mouth of Youzhou to pick on those soft persimmons. Each of us will kill a hundred Beimang barbarians. Then, we can go wherever we want. Before I came here, everyone discussed it. Now, it's up to you. "
Wu Liuding frowned and said in a deep voice, "Aunt Nalan, do you think he's playing hard to get? Or is he just trying to buy people's hearts? "
The woman shook her head and said, "Hsu Fengnian really intends to do so. I'm sure of this. Of course, the reason why he's so magnanimous isn't entirely because he's doing good deeds. It's because Demon Zhu, Sword Maniac Helian, and a large group of people have long been determined to stay in Beiliang. After all, each of them has their own goals. They want fame, benefits, benevolence, and justice. Those who really want to leave are only twenty or so people. Maybe the older they get, the more afraid they are of death. Or maybe they miss their hometown too much. They don't want to die outside the pass. They want to die in the most familiar place. I guess Hsu Fengnian just wants peace of mind. Instead of letting some people reluctantly die in battle with the Beiliang cavalry, it's better to let everyone who stays in the end come to Jianghu willingly and die on the battlefield. "
Wu Liuding sneered and said, "I told you that this guy is the most shrewd businessman in the world. He never makes a losing deal."
Nalan Huaiyu sighed and said, "If he wasn't shrewd, the Beimang barbarians would have already destroyed the family property that Butcher left for him."
Wu Liuding whispered, "Auntie, you don't really like that guy, do you?"
Nalan Huaiyu stretched out her fingers and lifted the hair on her temples. She shook her head and laughed, "Brat, you're really stupid. How old am I? How old is Hsu Fengnian?"
Wu Liuding nodded in agreement and said, "I told you, auntie won't like that guy."
Cuihua was silent.
Nalan Huaiyu smiled charmingly and said, "That's the matter. What do you two think? No matter what, we're still people of the Wu family's Sword Tomb. No matter what, we'll listen to you. "
Wu Liuding thought for a while and said, "In that case, let the twenty or so people find an excuse to go to Youzhou and join the army. But killing a hundred people is the bottom line. There's no discussion! As for the other eighty people, they'll stay with me and Cuihua in this North Resisting City. Whether they die in battle or wait for death, don't regret it in the future! "
Nalan Yujin nodded, "Since you said so, I know what to do. That's good."
She stood up and didn't leave the room immediately. Instead, she took a slight detour and walked to Wu Liuding's side. She touched the young man's head and said, "Brat, you've finally grown up. Auntie is very pleased. Auntie also has something to say to you and Cuihua. We're outsiders who have entered the Sword Tomb. After so many years, we know how many people have gone crazy in the Wu family's Sword Tomb, committed suicide, or went mad. There aren't many normal people left. It's not easy to gather a hundred people, but it's already the limit of the Wu family. Your Wu family's ancestor is not without selfishness. In the end, the reason why the Wu family's fortune has been standing for two hundred years is because of the Wu family's nine swords. But now, the nine swords have become our hundred swords. That's why the twenty or so people are nervous in their hearts. They must ask me, Nalan Yujin, to come here to ask for a valid letter. Otherwise, even if Hsu Fengnian asks them to leave, they will never dare to leave. Who doesn't know the Wu family's ancestor's methods? We are all afraid from the bottom of our hearts. "
Wu Liuding took a deep breath and said with determination in his eyes, "As a junior, I don't dare to say anything bad about my ancestor. But, Auntie, you can rest assured. Those twenty or so people, my Wu family's Sword Tomb will treat them as if they have died outside the pass. This sentence is said in front of Auntie, and even in front of the ancestor, it's the same. Every word is a nail, no ambiguity!"
Nalan Huaiyu nodded and turned to leave. When he walked to the door, he turned his head and smiled, "Practicing the sword, practicing the sword, you can also practice the sword in bed."
The corner of Wu Liuding's mouth twitched. He turned his head stiffly and looked at Cuihua.
She suddenly opened her eyes, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out word by word from her teeth, "Want to practice the sword? Get the hell out of here! "
Wu Liuding subconsciously picked up the chopsticks and "pulled the noodles" in the empty bowl.
She closed her eyes, and when he lowered his head, the corner of her mouth curled up.
Then she heard Wu Liuding say something inexplicable, "Cuihua, it's not that I can't accept that Auntie Nalan likes Hsu Fengnian, but I don't want Hsu Fengnian to be the only one who doesn't like her."
Cuihua didn't know what to say, so she could only say, "I'm listening."
Finally, Wu Liuding said something unlucky, "Cuihua, I said you can't be angry, but even if you are angry, I have to say it this time. If, I mean if, one day in the future, both of us are destined to die on the battlefield, I must die before you, because if I see you die before me, I will feel worse than death."
Cuihua thought for a moment and said slowly, "Actually, it's nothing, because if I die first, I will also wait for you on the road to the underworld. I will wait for you to follow me, so you don't have to be sad. But if I die first, and you die too late, I … I will be really angry. "
Wu Liuding's eyes were moist, and he held Cuihua's hand.
Cuihua tilted her head and asked, "You want to die now?"
Wu Liuding shook his head, but this time, he didn't let go of her hand.
And this time, she didn't break free.
You are called Cuihua, and I am called Liuding. Six big cauldrons, how many pounds of pickled cabbage can they hold! So, the two of us are the best match in the world!
Even Nalan Yujin, who was close to them in the Sword Tomb, didn't know that Sword Crown Wu Liuding and Sword Attendant Cuihua were actually born on the same day, month, and day. Even the time was almost the same.
