Chapter 542: two years

Chapter 542 two years

"Brother Liu."

In the room, seeing Liu Zhen who pushed the door and barged in, Xue Mingfu showed a trace of surprise on his face, and then suppressed the strangeness and greeted him with a smile:

"You came."

"sit."

"No need."

Liu Zhen said:

"I'll take you on your way."

"what?"

Xue Mingfu was taken aback for a moment, and saw Liu Zhen raised his arms expressionlessly, and three crossbow arrows came towards him, directly piercing his body.

"Puff puff!"

The blood-stained crossbow bolt was nailed to the gun, and Xue Mingfu also froze in place, looking down at the blood flowing from his heart, his eyes were confused.

Immediately...

"Plop!"

The corpse fell to the ground, blood flowing down the floor.

"Ming Fu!"

The blushing Liu Man who was still arranging his clothes froze, and then screamed, rushing over regardless of his disheveled clothes:

"Brother Mingfu!"

"elder brother!"

She lay on Xue Mingfu's body and shook desperately, naturally there was no reaction, she raised her head, her face was full of tears, her eyes were red and she roared:

"why?"

"Do you know what you do?"

"I know it very well!" Liu Zhen's face was gloomy and cold, his eyes fixed on his sister:

"But you, do you know what he has done, do you know what time it is now? It's... It's..."

"I wish I could kill you together!"

As soon as he raised his hand, two crossbow arrows rubbed against Liu Man's body and nailed him to the ground. The undisguised killing intent also made Liu Man stiff.

"You...you're crazy." Looking at the ferocious-faced brother, Liu Man's eyes flustered, and she shook her head again and again:

"Brother, you are crazy!"

"I think you are crazy!" Liu Zhen growled:

"How can the Liu family feel sorry for you? Are you so impatient to get married?"

"it is good!"

He nodded and said:

"You really want to get married, don't you? I'll arrange your marriage right now. Since you don't want to stay in this house, get out!"

"elder brother!"

"shut up!"

Liu Zhen took a deep breath and said:

"Uncle Wu, come in and dispose of the corpse, and keep an eye on Liu Man. If she dares to make trouble again, I will beat her to death!"

"Wei Huyuan, follow me to Su's house!"

"yes."

"Yes, Master."

Outside the door, the two bowed their heads.

"when...when..."

The melodious sound of the bell came from the mountain. The bell rang nine times. It was clear and transparent with a little haste. It seemed that the person who rang the bell was also quite excited.

The nurses in the courtyard stopped one after another, and the people in the room also came out, looking up at the mountain.

"It's Xi Zhong!"

An old man stroked his beard lightly and said:

"The bell rings nine times. This is a great joy. I have stayed in the Lin family for most of my life, and this is the first time I heard nine rings."

"Yes!"

Another person nodded:

"Even when the head of the family was promoted to a martial arts master, it only rang seven times. What's the big deal today, and it rang nine times in a row?"

"I heard..." Wang Huyuan said in a low voice:

"Early this morning, people from the imperial court went up the mountain. Could it be related to it?"

"Oh!"

Everyone was surprised, and it was inevitable that there would be various speculations.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Long did not know when he appeared in the courtyard, his face was gloomy and he yelled at the nursing homes:

"Get moving, do what you have to do, don't forget your errands, what does the matter on the mountain have to do with you?"

"yes!"

"yes."

The Nursing House bowed their heads in response, and was bombarded to continue patrolling.

Zhou Yi mixed in the crowd, and glanced at Chen Long slightly differently.

This head Chen has never been in charge of things, except for the time when the young lady went down the mountain, no matter how lax the nurse's attitude was, he would not ask questions.

I'm used to muddling along, so suddenly it seems quite abnormal to be so strict.

Besides, it was obviously a happy event for the Lin family, Chen looked up at the mountain, but his face was full of sorrow, could it be that he knew something?

The answer was passed down quickly.

Lin Baizhi, the daughter of the Lin family who entered the palace, is also the aunt of the second lady. Not long ago, she gave birth to a dragon son and was canonized as a virtuous concubine!

Three generations of the Lin family, not many of the head of the family are still alive.

The head of the family has one son and three daughters.

The youngest daughter is the virtuous concubine Lin Baizhi, who is almost the same age as the eldest lady.

The dragon son born to Concubine Xiande is the fifth prince of His Majesty today. One of the first four died of illness when he was young, and the other died while hunting the year before last.

The other two have poor maternity lines.

also means…

This prince who has the blood of the Lin family is expected to succeed the Datong when he becomes an adult!

It's no wonder that the bell will ring nine times. Although the Lin family is a martial arts family and a wealthy family, it is far from being able to compare with the most noble royal family.

Rewards are also distributed the next day.

Even for the nursing home at the foot of the mountain, everyone received a few taels of silver as a reward, and silk and satin, the total value of which was no less than ten taels.

It is said that there are more rewards on the mountain.

The Lin family has thousands of servants and guards alone. This time the reward is more than ten thousand taels of silver, which makes people have to marvel at the wealth of the Lin family.

"This is not necessarily a good thing."

Liu Mengyan took a gourd of wine in his hand, took a sip into his mouth, shook his head and said:

"The Lin family has always been a martial arts family before, and never cared about the affairs of the court. In this way, even if there is turmoil in the court, or even a change of dynasty, it will not be as bad as the family business."

"But more than ten years ago, when Concubine Xiande was still young, the head of the family suddenly began to pay attention to the court. At that time, many people objected..."

"Many people are worried now."

"Ok."

Zhou Yi understood, no wonder Chen Long looked wrong, he seemed to be someone who did not support:

"The imperial court is so powerful that even the Lin family may not be able to bear it once they stand in a wrong position. Their worries are not unreasonable."

"Yes!" Liu Mengyan shrugged:

"Especially the year before last, when the head of the family went to the capital for something, it was a thrilling time, and the Lin family, who was thousands of miles away, had to worry about it."

Having said that, he sighed softly:

"Now, it's too late to say anything."

The current Lin family has been tied to Concubine Xiande, and it is impossible to get rid of it.

The year before last?

Zhou Yi's eyes moved slightly.

He seems to remember that a Red Lotus Sect warrior once said that the Lin family recklessly intervened in the change of imperial power, seeking their own death.

But now it seems.

Lin Baizhi gave birth to a prince and was named a virtuous concubine, which shows that the head of the Lin family is very capable, and the events of the year have not been affected in any way.

even,

should have gained a lot of benefits.

The year before last...

The prince who unfortunately died while out hunting, seemed to be also at that time?

"The affairs of the imperial court are too far away from us."

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi didn't want to talk more about it, so he changed the subject:

"Brother Liu, have you already refined your marrow?"

"Not so fast." Liu Mengyan smiled and said:

"But it's coming soon."

"..."

Zhou Yi sighed softly.

He is working very hard in cultivation, and he is nourished by fairy mushroom soup, but the gap with Liu Mengyan's cultivation level is getting wider and wider.

But he has fairy mushroom soup, Liu Mengyan should have something similar, maybe even better.

Perfection!

You can refine your true energy in a short time and become a first-class master in the Jianghu. Even the Lin family has not many masters with true energy.

"Brother Mengyan."

The voice came, and Liu Xinran's figure appeared not far away:

"The Zhou Nursing Home is also here."

"Happily."

"Miss Liu."

The two put away the jug and nodded towards the person who came.

Zhou Yi moved his gaze and landed on Liu Xinran's waist, where a long sword hung, the hilt was just as in memory.

Sure enough...

The masked men who besieged and killed He Dong that day were the brothers and sisters of the Liu family.

"Zhou Huyuan likes this sword?" Liu Xinran also looked at Zhou Yi, and untied the sword upon seeing this:

"Since you like it, you might as well take a closer look."

As he spoke, he looked with piercing eyes.

She hadn't doubted Zhou Yi before, after all, how the mere Nursing Court had killed He Dong, who had mastered viscera refinement, but now she had some suspicions.

The stature and voice are somewhat alike.

And to be friends with Liu Mengyan, he should not be weak.

"No."

Zhou Yi showed a simple and honest smile, and waved his hands again and again:

"I don't know much about swords, but they look good. Miss Liu is so polite."

"..."

Looking at Zhou Yi with a dull, sluggish expression and a simple and honest face, Liu Xinran couldn't help laughing:

'That's right, how could that brutal chivalrous man be the one in front of him? It seems that I have been in a very tense mood during this time, and everyone is suspicious. '

"No problem."

Putting away the long sword, she looked at Liu Mengyan:

"Brother Mengyan, I have already found out who is behind He Dong, please help me to meet the young lady to avenge my family's enmity!"

Zhou Yi's heart moved slightly.

No wonder I haven't seen the Liu family siblings for so long, they are all busy with this matter.

"Oh!"

Liu Mengyan's complexion changed:

"Really?"

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Liu Xinran was excited:

"These days, I found a booklet from He Dong's house that recorded his arrival and delivery. It contained evidence of his crime!"

"The people who intercepted and killed my Liu family are all among them!"

"it is good."

Liu Mengyan clapped his hands together:

"Let's go, I'll take you to find Miss. As long as there is evidence, the people in the yamen can't evade it. If it doesn't work, we can do it ourselves."

"yes."

Liu Xinran nodded.

The two bid farewell to Zhou Yi and went up the mountain.

On the road.

Liu Xinran thought for a while, and couldn't help asking:

"Brother Mengyan, why do you often go to Zhou Nuyuan?"

The status of the two is very different. Liu Mengyan is not only the guard of the Lin family, but also more likely to become a member of the Lin family, with a noble status.

And Zhou Yi.

It's just a nursing home in the outer courtyard.

"He is the one chosen by the second lady just like me." Liu Mengyan said:

"We are both refugees, we have common topics, and Brother Zhou is very interesting, and I can relax by his side."

"Really?" Liu Xinran's beautiful eyes flashed, and said:

"To get Brother Mengyan's approval, Zhou Nuyuan's strength should not be bad, right?"

"Haha..." Liu Mengyan laughed loudly:

"Not bad, but much worse than me!"

"That…"

"It's just skin refining, there's nothing to say."

Seeing that Liu Xinran still wanted to ask more questions, Liu Mengyan waved his hand to stop the other party from talking.

Although he knew that Zhou Yi was good at swordsmanship, he knew that the opponent didn't like to show off.

The two are just friends.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. When you have nothing to do, drink and chat. If you talk too much, it will be mixed with other unnecessary things.

To tell the truth, sometimes he envies Zhou Yi very much. He is obviously good at strength, but he doesn't have to have people cast strange glances wherever he goes.

"yes."

Liu Xinran nodded, and the thoughts in her heart also fell.

It shouldn't be him!

...

"Little Brother B."

Yu Zhuang blushed and handed over the invitation:

"At the end of the month, it's my little brother's big day, and I hope little brother B will be there."

"Congratulations!" Zhou Yi took the invitation and clasped his hands together:

"You married a girl from the Liu family this time, and you probably won't come back in the future. Although it's a pity, I wish you an early baby."

"I would like to borrow your good words."

Yu Zhuang sighed softly:

"I know Xiaoyi looks down on me, but I really like Xiaoman, and I don't mind her past. As for Liu's business..."

"From now on, I'll be fooling around with my elder brother!"

"Unexpected." Zhou Yi held his hand and sighed lightly, looking at Yu Zhuang with complicated eyes.

"Anyway, congratulations!"

It can be seen that Yu Zhuang really likes Liu Man.

This is incomprehensible to Zhou Yi, Liu Man is good-looking, but his conduct is not good, Yu Zhuang can actually do not care.

As for coveting the property of the Liu family...

The current Liu family is no longer what it used to be, and whether it can be raised again is another matter.

"correct."

Yu Zhuang said:

"Brother Liu has already made an engagement with a young lady from the Su family. Not much is known about it, so we might as well congratulate together."

"yes?"

Zhou Yi understood, and he was not surprised by it.

The Liu family's dilapidated situation has been decided, and Liu Zhen can't support himself alone. Marrying with the Su family to keep his plate is the most cost-effective deal.

"Congratulate Brother Liu on my behalf."

"yes."

Yu Zhuang nodded.

...

"Peng!"

The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year.

The New Year's Day is very, the Lin family congratulates everyone, everyone is rewarded again, and joy and joy are all over their cheeks.

After all, Liu Zhen was still reluctant to let his sister suffer, and did not use Liu Man as a bargaining chip to marry someone, but handed it over to Yu Zhuang.

Two people get married.

Zhou Yi went on the wedding day, and it seemed that Liu Man had resigned to his fate.

The marriage between Liu Zhen and Su's daughter is also on the agenda, the business of the two married Liu's restaurants has also stabilized, and Liu Zhen is becoming more and more mature.

The greenness on the face has long since disappeared.

The brothers and sisters of the Liu family also know who the enemy is. Although the process of revenge is not satisfactory, things are moving in a good direction.

"Clatter..."

The cold wind is howling, and the enthusiasm for the New Year cannot be suppressed.

Everyone is gathering with relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year, Zhou Yi sets foot on the mountain forest alone and looks down.

Thousands of lights,

None of them shines for him.

Looking at the city below the mountain, he was in a daze for a long time before he let out a long sigh, bent down and entered the flashing, skillfully and lonelyly cooking the mushroom soup.

With fairy mushroom soup in his hand, Zhou Yiyao motioned down the mountain:

"Happy New Year!"

...

Time passes.

Two years later.

The spring of the fifteenth year of Yonghe, Emperor Shun of Liang Dynasty.

The chaos in Pingzhou has subsided, and the people are recuperating, but there is a flood in Qizhou.

Even Kunshan City has become less peaceful this time.

Because of being favored by a virtuous concubine, the status of the Lin family is rising day by day. Even the county guard and city lord are often the first to visit when they take office.

Liu Ying courtyard.

Although spring has returned to the land, the chill has not completely faded away, Zhou Yi rolled up his sleeves, curled up, and was blocked by someone.

"Zhou Yi."

A crisp voice sounded.

"It's Miss Li."

Stopped, Zhou Yi nodded to the visitor:

"Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah." Li Yu pursed his lips, gritted his silver teeth, and Fang whispered:

"Do you have a sweetheart?"

Ok?

Zhou Yi was taken aback.

What does this mean?

"My family is in a hurry to urge the marriage." Li Yu raised her neck and said:

"I think you're not bad, if you don't have a sweetheart, how about doing me a favor?"
