Chapter two hundred and sixty fifth: gossip
The long river is breeze and thick mist is shrouded.
On the bank of the river, strands of dry waterweed swayed with the waves, a bunch of bonfires burned, and a few pebbles the size of watermelon built a simple stove with a small pot on it, stewing snake soup.
Ji Ziyan's close-fitting sword servant Ku Ju was putting seasonings, and his apprentice's red clothes were adding firewood and fire. Not far away, Ji Ziyan and Jiang Zibai were walking side by side along the river bank, chatting.
Hongyi Duoduo looked at it and said in surprise: "Aunt Ku, I feel so amazing. Jiang Sheng is really my uncle!"
Kuju smiled and said, "Did you always think your master is lying to you? Although Jiang Sheng has a high status, your master is a national teacher and an unparalleled national scholar. His cultivation is also unique in the world. It is not unacceptable to go out of the same school as Master Jiang Sheng?"
"This is the truth," said Hongyi Duoduo, "But don't you know the most about what kind of virtue my master is? You follow your master day and night. Look at his unregulated appearance, you don't seem to be related to the legendary Jiang Sheng?"
Kuju covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's because you're too close to your master, so you don't feel anything. In fact, if someone else wants to think that your master is unattainable, just like you think that Jiang Sheng is tall and can only see from afar, but Jiang Sheng's disciples don't feel that way."
"Yes," Hongyi Duoduo smiled and asked again: "Aunt Ku, is the relationship between Master and Uncle Master very good? Look at their arms and arms, they don't look like masters. They are like two gangsters!"
Kuju touched Hongyi Duoduo's head and said, "You are just too young and don't understand these things. People like your master and uncle can restrain them. How they want to live and what they want to do is just following their hearts."
"If ordinary people see them, they will only feel unattainable, but when they are together, they will only do whatever they want and will not be arrogant. As for the relationship between them, I am not very clear, it is a bit complicated!"
"What does it mean?" Hongyi Duoduo said curiously.
Kuju thought for a while and said, "I went to your master five years ago. At that time, both your master and uncle were still unknown, unlike now, who are already famous all over the world."
"At that time, I was not your master's sword servant, I had another master, and when your master became the counselor of that man, I was arranged to be with your master."
"At that time, your master and uncle were from their respective camps. The two had been fighting, head-on, secretly, decisive battles with thousands of troops, and strategizing and striving for thousands of miles. At that time, it was still in the State of Wei, and your master and uncle were both competing for the dominance of the 100,000 mountains."
"Oh," Hongyi Duoduo nodded and said, "Some time ago, it was suddenly reported that the leader of the martial arts alliance of the Wei Kingdom's first Jianghu force was Uncle Jiang. It turns out that there is still such a past. It seems that the master lost. Haha, the master kept saying that he had an unparalleled strategy in the world, and it turns out that he is not as good as Uncle Master!"
Kuju smiled and shook her head, saying, "How to say, in that battle between the Hundred Thousand Mountains, in fact, the two did not decide the outcome. It was just that at the last moment, the person assisted by your master did something that completely disappointed your master. He did not take action and let it fail, so that your uncle won so thoroughly."
Hongyi Duoduo asked, "Is it your master at that time?"
"Yes," Kuju nodded and said, "Her choice disappointed your master. It would be fine if your master thought this person was not a wise master. He gave up without a bottom line, so he chose to leave and took me around and came to Liang State to support the current emperor!"
"Oh..." Hongyi Duoduo suddenly said ambiguously: "After going around, I've been taking you... Aunt Ku, to be honest, you and my master, you two... Hehe, are there anything there?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Kuju stretched out her finger and tapped Hongyi Duoduo's forehead, and said, "Little young, I will think a lot all day long, what is your master? What can happen to me, a maid?"
Hongyi Duoduo smiled and said, "I don't believe it. Just like you said, what kind of person is my master? Although he is not as good-looking as the uncle, what kind of woman should I find? But he hasn't seen him chat with that girl until now, let alone find a master's wife. He will take you everywhere he goes. If there is nothing tricky, I won't believe it?"
"Aunt Ku, don't say you are protecting my master or something. You don't believe it if you say this. My master's cultivation is much higher than yours, and he is still the same in protecting you. Moreover, you said that just two years ago, the master participated in the battle for the royal throne, which was so dangerous, but he never let you leave him. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... How much like love!"
"Clean nonsense!"
Kuju rolled her eyes, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Ji Ziyan by the river.

"Senior brother, what are your plans next?"
On the banks of the river, Jiang Mu and Ji Ziyan walked side by side.
"Plan?" Ji Ziyan said in surprise: "What else can I do? Now that Emperor Liang has become a teacher and has appointed me as his national teacher, what else can I do except live in the gangster of Liang?"
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Senior Brother, you and I are almost thirty in the blink of an eye. It's time to get married!"
"Oh, you say this," Ji Ziyan shook his head and said, "I have been studying around a few years ago, but I have not settled down since then, so I have never thought about those things. Until now, I finally settled down, but I don't seem to have the intention."
"Didn't you have that intention, or did you not think about what to say?" Jiang Mu asked with a smile.
"What did you say? Why can't I understand?" Ji Ziyan pretended to be stupid and stunned.
"Stop pretending," Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Don't I understand yet? At the beginning, you asked me to give up everything and leave, and didn't take anything, but you risked the risk of bringing a maid. If there was nothing wrong with it, I wouldn't believe it."
"I'm not because I lack someone to take care of me, and you don't know that I can't even cook rice, no one takes care of me, and I'll starve to death. Moreover, what risk I'll lose to you in the 100,000 mountains. In your territory, if I can still get into trouble, I will only be self-harm!" Ji Ziyan said.
