The servants held wooden boxes, lined up, and stood in front of Ning Ning.

Ji Chonggao smiled and said, "Ning Ning, this is my gift to you, I wish you a happy life." ”

Ji Chonggao waved his hand, and the servants opened all the wooden boxes, and the hall suddenly shone with golden light, and a sound of exclamation sounded. More than a dozen wooden boxes were full of gold, silver and jewelry, and even Gongsun Qiandu showed a surprised god (qíng), thinking that this Yunxiao Hou was really generous.

Ji Chonggao said: "I didn't prepare it in advance, this gift seems a little shabby." ”

Everyone whispered, oh my God, so many gold, silver and jewels are still said to be unprepared, and they are said to be shabby, if you prepare it, what kind of gift do you have to give?

Back then, when Chengping Taizu canonized the Marquis of Yunxiao, he set aside a piece of land and gave it to the Marquis of Yunxiao as a fief, and all the property in this fief belonged to the Marquis of Yunxiao.

The Marquis of Yunxiao is the equivalent of the king of a small semi-independent country.

After successfully showing off his wealth, Ji Chonggao waved his hand again, and the servants retreated with wooden boxes in their hands.

Ji Chonggao asked Ning Ning, "How is it, Ning Ning, do you still like these gifts?"

Ning Ning lowered her head and ate the noodles without speaking. Xia Yu sat next to him, looking at Ji Chonggao with contempt as if he was looking at a nouveau riche.

Ji Chonggao was unhappy and said: "Xia Yu, you are also a friend of Ning Ning, today Ning Ning is alive (rì), you should also give a gift to express your heart." ”

Ji Chonggao is deliberately trying to chill Xia Yu, Xia Yu has become the focus of attention, everyone is very curious, to see what gifts Xia Yu can come up with.

Ji Chonggao teased: "Brother Xia is also a character who has crossed the rivers and lakes and seen the world, and the gifts he gives will definitely not be bad." ”

Ning Ning wanted to relieve Xia Yu and said: "Xia Yu, I blame me for this matter, I didn't tell you in advance in my life, I like any gift you give me, and the gift is light." ”

Xia Yu smiled and said: "I'm a poor boy, I really don't have anything that I can handle, be a little careful, let's talk about my heart." ”

As he spoke, Xia Yu took out a bead from the storage bag and put it on the table.

Ji Chong looked at the bead and laughed, "There are so many impurities on this bead, it seems to be a defective product, Ning Ning, this is the most special raw (rì) gift you have ever received, right?"

Ning Ning glared at Ji Chonggao viciously, and just as he was about to speak, Gongsun Qiandu stood up, looked surprised, walked in front of Xia Yu, picked up the bead, and looked at it over and over again.

Gongsun Qiandu asked Xia Yu, "Where did you get this bead?"

Xia Yu said: "This is what I hunted in the back mountain. ”

Gongsun Qiandu looked at the beads and said blankly: "It's true, it's true, it's true." ”

Ji Huaiyu was a little puzzled and asked Gongsun Qiandu, "Mr. Gongsun, what is this?"

Gongsun Qiandu said: "This is the Inner Dan of the Dragon Clan, which is worth a lot of money, and you may not be able to buy it even if you hold the money on your head." ”

"The Dragon Clan's Neidan?!" all the warriors present were dumbfounded, stood up, craned their necks and crossed their feet, and looked at the beads in Gongsun Qiandu's hand.

Gongsun Qiandu said: "When I was young, I was fortunate to see a dragon clan inner pill in Zhongsanzhou, exactly the same as this one, it can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, this is the dragon clan's inner dan." ”

The warriors stared at the dragon clan's inner pill, their eyes shining brightly, for the warriors, this dragon clan's inner pill can enhance cultivation and combat power, which is a priceless treasure.

The warriors thought to themselves, even if they couldn't get this dragon clan inner pill, it would be a feast for their eyes to take a look, and it would be a bragging capital when they drank in the future.

Gongsun Qiandu put the Dragon Clan's Neidan in front of Xia Yu and said, "Little Girl Guosheng (rì), if you give such a big gift, my Gongsun family can't repay it." ”

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun, Ning Ning is my friend, and what friends talk about is (qíng) righteousness, not interests. Ning Ning, you put away this dragon clan inner pill. ”

Xia Yu handed the Dragon Clan Neidan to Ning Ning's hand, Ning Ning put it away, and said with a smile: "Xia Yu, thank you." ”

Xia Yu glanced at Ji Chonggao and said, "My gift is shabby, which makes the little marquis smile." ”

Ji Chonggao's face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, compared with Xia Yu's Dragon Clan Neidan, the gold, silver and jewelry he gave away were garbage, and the difference in value between the two was 108,000 miles.

Xia Yu held his wine glass, stood up, and said, "Ning Ning, I wish you a happy life, getting younger and more beautiful." ”

"Thank you, Xia Yu, I wish you more and more handsome," Ning Ning smiled and raised his glass.

Xia Yu said again: "At the same time, I also wish the Gongsun family to become stronger and stronger, Mr. Gongsun, I have dried this glass of wine." ”

Xia Yu raised his neck and drank all the wine in the cup, Gongsun Qiandu, Tie Shou, and Wooden Leg raised their glasses one after another and drank the wine in the cup. Ji Huaiyu, Ji Chonggao and his entourage sat on the side, their faces were blue and very depressed.

Ning Ning and Gongsun Qiandu, Tie Shou, and Wooden Leg took turns to toast Xia Yu, Xia Yuxin (qíng) was good, drank a few more glasses, and when he left the hall, it was Li Tie who helped Xia Yu out.

The mayor poured out his mansion and gave it to everyone to live in, and Li Tie helped Xia Yu to his residence and served Xia Yu Shang (chuáng) to sleep. Under the influence of alcohol, Xia Yu fell asleep on the chuáng and slept very deeply.

Xia Yu was sleeping soundly, and suddenly, there was a noise outside, which woke Xia Yu up. Xia Yu jumped down from the (chuáng), summoned the Tianxin Sword, and rushed out of the house.

Outside the house was noisy, the fire was shining, and the shadows of people panicked (shēn) were everywhere.

Xia Yu saw Li Tie and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Tie said: "There are enemies attacking the town. ”

"What enemy?"

"It seems to be some kind of Red Blood Legion. ”

After Cao Shangfei was beaten away by Iron Hand and Wooden Leg, he found out that Gongsun Qiandu, Iron Hand, Wooden Leg and others lived in Qinggang Town, so he led the Red Blood Legion to launch a night attack on Qinggang Town.

Qinggang Town has no city walls, and its defense is relatively lax, so the Red Blood Legion led by Cao Shangfei easily killed it and went all the way to the mayor's mansion.

When Xia Yu arrived with the Tianxin Sword, the Red Blood Legion had already retreated.

Xia Yu saw a layer of gloom on Gongsun Qiandu's face, and stepped forward to ask, "Mr. Gongsun, have the enemies retreated?"

Gongsun Qiandu said: "Almost all retreated, these bandits are really daring, they dare to attack the territory of our Gongsun family." ”

At this time, Iron Hand and Wooden Leg ran over in a panic and shouted, "Master, it's not good, Miss has been captured by the bandits!"

"What?!" Gongsun Qiandu was dumbfounded.

Xia Yu asked, "Where did the bandits run away with Ning Ning?"

"Over there," Iron Hand pointed in a direction.

Xia Yu didn't say a word, he chased after him with the Tianxin Sword, and the Red Blood Legion attacked

It took less than half an hour to enter Qinggang Town and retreat to the whole. During the retreat, the Red Blood Legion set fire everywhere, and Qinggang Town fell into a sea of fire.

Xia Yu chased all the way to a forest outside the town, where he saw several bandits of the Red Blood Legion.

"Thief, where to run!" Xia Yu rushed up, picked up the Tianxin Sword, and slashed the thief.

The thieves saw that Xia Yu was only one person, and he was young, so they didn't take Xia Yu in their eyes and surrounded Xia Yu to fight.

Xia Yu was anxious to rescue Ning Ning, and he didn't have the time to spend it with these bandits, so he swept through thousands of troops with one move, and in the night sky, the sword light was dazzling, blooming, and he knocked down seven or eight bandits.

The remaining bandits were stunned, and they ran away, and Xia Yu chased after them violently.

Seeing that Xia Yu was about to catch up with a few bandits, several bandits suddenly turned (shēn) and threw them at Xia Yu with a blasting bomb.

Xia Yu used the defensive skills of the earth full of stars to set up an iron wall to resist those blasting bullets. One after another, the blasting bombs hit the copper wall and exploded with a bang.

(In "Water Margin", the earth full star is the jade banner rod-Meng Kang, and the defense skill is the imagination skill of this book)

Xia Yu gritted his teeth and injected true qi into the copper wall, blocking the blasting bomb attack of the bandits.

When the smoke cleared, Xia Yu unlocked the iron wall, and the thieves had already escaped without a trace under the cover of night, Xia Yu could only scream hatefully and returned to Qinggang Town.

When he came to the mayor's mansion, Xia Yu saw Ji Huaiyu sitting on the ground crying and crying, Ji Huaiyu cried and shouted: "Benhou's seal letter, it was given by the great grandfather, and the thief who suffered a thousand knives actually snatched Benhou's seal letter!"

When Chengping Taizu divided the heroes, he gave the first Yunxiao Marquis a seal, which was a symbol of power.

This seal letter is the treasure of the Yunxiao Hou family, Ji Huaiyu has always taken it with (shēn), but I didn't expect that tonight I drank a few more glasses of wine and slept deeply, so I actually asked the Red Blood Army to snatch the seal letter.

Without the seal letter, Ji Huaiyu, the Marquis of Yunxiao, would lose his legitimacy (xìng), and if King Chengping knew about it, it would be possible to take this opportunity to abolish him, the Marquis of Yunxiao.

Gongsun Qiandu and Ji Huaiyu counted the losses, and the night attack of the Red Blood Legion did not cause much loss of personnel and property, that is, Ning Ning was robbed, and the seal letter of Yunxiao Hou was snatched away.

Gongsun Qiandu instructed Iron Hand and Wooden Leg, "Hurry up and dispatch troops to the organ city, rescue the young lady at all costs, and take back the seal letter of the Marquis of Yunxiao!"

Iron hands and wooden legs took the order, and drove the mechanical carriage to the city.

Xia Yu said to Gongsun Qiandu: "Mr. Gongsun, now that the bandits have returned to their lair, they will definitely get carried away, and this is the best time to rescue Ning Ning." If the reinforcements from the organ city arrived, the bandits would be vigilant, and it would not be easy to rescue Ning Ning. ”

Gongsun Qiandu said: "The existing forces in my hands are not enough to break through the cottage flying on the grass, so we rushed to attack, but the grass startled the snake." ”

Xia Yu said: "I don't need any troops, just go with my second brother." ”

Gongsun Qiandu frowned for a moment and said, "The Red Blood Legion is the strongest bandit in Chengping Kingdom, how can the two of you break through their cottage?"

Xia Yu said: "It's man-made, I'll try it with my second brother." ”

Gongsun Qiandu said: "If you want to rescue Ning Ning, I will send you a few more helpers." ”

Xia Yu said: "No need, it is easy to expose the target when there are too many people, and the second brother and I are enough." ”
