Gong Xiqiu knew at a glance what nonsense he was thinking, and sneered: "Do you really think this matter is simple?"

Xun Ding looked stern: "It's easier than expected."

He really thought he would be beaten half to death by Gong Xiqiu.

Xun Ding had been following Gong Xiqiu for several years, and he knew that this man's brain circuit was different. The latter's normal performance would beat him to half death, but extraordinary performance might kill him directly. He turned around and introduced Yi Shui'er, a burly man.

The strong male favorite helped the young widow get out of the cloud of losing her husband. Normal people would be afraid that Xun Ding's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but Gong Xiqiu didn't care about the secular world at all.

If you hit, hit, kill, kill. Not to mention that Xun Ding has a father who is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it doesn't matter if the King of Hell is his father.

Although I was beaten tonight, I didn’t leave any injuries.

Far lower than Xun Ding expected.

Gong Xiqiu twitched the corner of his mouth and said with emotion: "If Alai had my level of cultivation, you and your wife would be very harmonious."

There are some men in this world who are born with itchy skin and like to be beaten.

One can hit and the other can suffer.

Isn’t it a pot lid made in heaven?

Xun Ding's mind couldn't turn around for a while, and he didn't understand the logic between the two. Gong Xiqiu didn't have the time to wait for him to figure it out: "The bodies of ordinary people and brave warriors have different tolerances for pain.

Your abilities are different. I hope you can still be so relaxed on the day she gives birth. It’s not like I haven’t thought about beating you to death, for the sake of Alai and the child..."

If Xun Ding is a scumbag or just likes Gong Xilai unilaterally, Xun Ding will go to Huangquan Road to report now. But since the two of them are in love with each other, he has no habit of beating up mandarin ducks: "After you get married, remember to take care of yourself.

My own lower body. The Gongxi clan cannot help but divorce and it is forbidden for both parties to be unfaithful during marriage."

"When I helped Alai sort out your clan's documents, I also read some of them. I know the rules of your clan. I'm not the kind of person who is greedy for sex."

"I swear to God!"

Gong Xiqiu showed a hint of ridicule.

Said: "You and I are both men, and the promises in this regard are written on a piece of paper, which is not useful even if you use it to wipe your butt."

Xun Ding secretly complained that this second brother-in-law was really difficult to deal with.

"Then I swear by my courage!"

With such obedience, my second brother-in-law should be satisfied, right?

Gong Xiqiu shook his head: "We have our own methods."

Xun Ding was really speechless now and couldn't help complaining about his desire: "No, why do you people have all kinds of means?"

It is a secret technique to make the man endure the pain of childbirth, and a means to ensure that both parties are loyal and not cheating. It is estimated that there will be other weird things later. There are not many people in the Gongxi clan, and there are quite a lot of rules. Follow the customs and follow the customs.

He also nodded in agreement.

Gong Xiqiu rarely rolled his eyes this time.

"How boring would it be to live in seclusion and not do anything interesting?"

Xun Ding: "..."

Gong Xiqiu put away his armor and extended his hand to Xun Ding.

Xun Ding grinned stupidly, grabbed Gong Xiqiu's hand to use his strength to stand up, and said loudly: "Haha, thank you, second brother!"

Gong Xiqiu was disgusted by this title and his mouth twitched.

"Don't call me that."

Xun Ding ignored him and looked directly at Jimo Qiu, who had always remained quiet. Although this young man looked similar to Gong Xiqiu, they had two different styles. Gong Xi Qiu just stood there without speaking.

, when others look at his features, they will think that he is not easy to mess with. The young man is more friendly and less aggressive: "Second brother, who is this?"

Could it be Gong Xiqiu's son?

Judging from the appearance and age, it is considered consistent.

However, Gong Xiqiu was not a womanizer, and he still practiced boy skills. He was still a boy at that age, so he could not have such a big son. Xun Ding also thought that Gong Xiqiu had left for many years to find his brother and nephew, so he

Jimo Qiu's identity was guessed 50% of the time.

The reason why it is 50% is because Xun Ding is not yet sure whether this young man is Gong Xichou's brother or Gong Xichou's nephew.

A piece of hot knowledge——

The specific age of a cultivator is difficult to judge from their appearance.

No matter how much Gong Xiqiu disliked the title "Second Brother", he had to hold his nose and endure it: "He is the son of the eldest brother."

Jimo Qiu nodded: "Jimo Qiu, whose courtesy name is Shaobai."

Xun Ding was surprised: "Jimo Qiu? So, the original name should be Gong Xiqiu... But, isn't this name the eldest brother?"

The genealogy of the Gongxi clan was handed over to Gongxi Lai by Gongxi Qiu.

Gongxi Lai would dry out her family tree every year after the rainy season to see if there was any damage caused by ants or insects. If there was any damage, she would need to find someone to repair it. If it could not be repaired, she would have to order a new family tree. Xun Ding often came in and out of her house, and she also

Helped her organize it.

Especially the Gongxi Qiu branch, he remembered it very well.

Gong Xiqiu also had an older brother named Qiu.

In other words, the eldest brother Gongxiqiu was originally called Gongxiqiu. After he became the high priest, his clan name was changed from Gongxi to Jimo.

The current name is Jimo Qiu.

How can a father and his son share the same name?

Gong Xiqiu's expression went blank for a moment.

He looked at Jimo Qiu, and Jimo Qiu looked at him.

"Perhaps it's the big brother's expectations for him..."

Xun Ding asked again: "Why didn't eldest brother come back with you?"

After asking, he regretted it.

Gong Xiqiu's face darkened visibly, with a hint of sadness: "Brother, he passed away."

Xun Ding was shocked: "How could this happen? When did it happen?"

Brothers and sisters also need to observe filial piety.

His wedding to Alai won't be within the period of mourning, right?

Even if they don't pay attention to this, people will criticize this matter if it gets out. Xun Ding can't help but feel a headache when he thinks that everything is ready except for the wedding. For a moment, he doesn't know how to tell Gong Xi Lai

, sad.

Gong Xiqiu's answer made Xun Ding despair.

This happened two months ago.

Two months ago, needless to say, I was still in the period of filial piety.

Xun Ding was worrying about what excuse he should use to explain to the guests that he had canceled the wedding at short notice, when something suddenly occurred to him that something was wrong.

"Are you sure... it was two months ago?"

Gong Xiqiu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Xun Ding quickly reassured: "No, no, second brother, I don't have any disrespectful thoughts. I just want to verify the time. Are you sure it was two months ago? This time is correct?"

Gong Xiqiu: "Yes, the exact date is within a few days."

After saying that, he saw Xun Ding's expression was suspicious.

He asked: "Xun Yong'an, what do you want to say?"

Xun Ding was puzzled: "Is there any misunderstanding here? I remember Ah Lai said that your clan's life lamp can't go wrong, right? As long as people are still alive in the world and their breath is not extinguished, the life lamp will not go out.

I started the final preparations for the wedding a month ago, took a month and a half of wedding leave in advance, and made a special trip with Ah back and forth to the Gongxi clan land to inform my father-in-law and mother-in-law about the wedding... Ahem, cough, cough, we went to that place specifically

In the secret room where the life lamp is enshrined, there are still two lights on in the secret room."

Without the high priest, Gong Xi Lai’s life lamp cannot be made.

Half a year ago, there were still three life lamps in the secret room.

The two lights were so strong and dazzling that one was so weak that it would not be extinguished, like a candle in the wind. Last time I went to see it, there were only two lights left, and the other one had been extinguished. Gongxi has been relying on his life for the past few years.

The status of the lamp is used to judge Gong Xiqiu's situation.

Gong Xiqiu: "..."

Xun Ding added: "I remember that your eldest brother has been away from home for many years. Even if he has children, the children's life lamps are not enshrined in the secret room. So the two life lamps now are, one is yours and the other is the eldest brother's. Brother

The life lamp was still on a month ago."

This conflicts with the information that Gong Xiqiu said that his eldest brother died two months ago: "Second brother, did you see with your own eyes that your eldest brother was gone?"

Gong Xiqiu shook his head under the gaze of Xun Ding and Jimo Qiu.

Gong Xiqiu, who had pigtails on his head, was now full of questions. He forced himself to recall that scene, his hands still shaking uncontrollably: "Brother, eldest brother... I rushed over, but eldest brother had died, and there was no trace of his body.
To be continued...
