Chapter 209: The Letter of the Mountain Bandits, the Talisman of Urging
Lu Yi and Zhang Peng went to a family surnamed Wang, the Wang family is in the silk business, the boss is called Wang Xiuli, there are two silk shops in Changqiao Town, he is considered a rich family in the town, he is the fourth oldest in the clan, and the people in the town are used to calling him Wang Si's shopkeeper.
Wang Xiuli is nearly fifty years old, although he married a three-room concubine, but the wives and concubines are not angry, and they have not given birth to a son, so the main house gave birth to a daughter for him, which was only available when he was over thirty years old.
Although he is not an old man, but after all, there is only this one baby daughter, Wang Xiuli is very precious to this daughter, she is really afraid of breaking it in the palm of her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth.
Wang Xiuli's daughter's name is Wang Mingzhu, she is beautiful and beautiful, two years older than Zhang Xiaoyu, the daughter of Zhang Laoyuanwai, and she has already reached the age of marriage, but Wang Xiuli is afraid that she will suffer the loss of her husband's family after she marries, so she doesn't want to marry her daughter.
As a result, I didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly, and after the bandits on Baigui Mountain robbed people in the surrounding towns and villages, they set their sights on several large families in Changqiao, including Wang Xiuli's daughter Wang Mingzhu.
Wang Xiuli is also a sleek guy, I don't know how to beat the mountain bandits who came to rob people up and down, and the mountain bandits actually let Wang Mingzhu go for the time being.
However, the good times didn't last long, since the last time He Chenggang led people to attack White Turtle Mountain, the mountain bandits on White Turtle Mountain were very angry, and they didn't care whether Wang Xiuli had beaten them or not, and directly gave him an ultimatum, if he didn't send his daughter up the mountain before dark tonight, he would definitely kill the Wang family and leave no dogs.
Wang Xiuli is also a businessman with some small money in hand, where does he have the courage and capital to argue with those murderous mountain bandits on White Turtle Mountain? He has been wiping his tears at home for the past few days, and a big man has been crying all day long, and he has fainted several times.
Daughter Wang Mingzhu is also a sensible and filial person, after learning what happened, she actually made a decision that surprised everyone, and was willing to sacrifice herself to go to White Turtle Mountain to protect the Wang family.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Wang Mingzhu took advantage of the family's inattention and quietly left the village to go to Baigui Mountain alone, but fortunately she was found early and robbed her back.
Zhang Peng also learned about this matter by hearsay, he really thought that Wang Xiuli ruthlessly sent his daughter up the mountain, and it was at this time that the mountain bandits on White Turtle Mountain sent an ultimatum again, so he hurriedly asked Lu Yi to discuss countermeasures.
When Lu Yi and Zhang Peng arrived at Wang's house, Wang Xiuli was still wiping his tears at home, crying old tears, and while crying, he told the two of them what happened.
Lu Yi didn't expect that Wang Mingzhu, a girl who was powerless, would have this kind of mind and courage, which was a thousand times more than Zhang Peng's girl who only knew crying and thinking.
After all, although Zhang Xiaoyu is chaste, but he doesn't think about his family at all, imagine if he really jumped into the river and committed suicide, as a result, the bandits on White Turtle Mountain will definitely be angry with her family, and then the Zhang family will face a catastrophe.
And Wang Mingzhu's approach can be said to be to abandon her happiness alone and protect the entire Wang family, although it is a helpless move for a weak woman in the face of a desperate situation, but the behavior of the two has always been compared and judged.
Lu Yi saw Wang Xiuli's daughter Wang Mingzhu in Wang's house, she was comforting her tearful father, seeing Lu Yi and Zhang Peng coming in, and greeting the two, Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh that he could meet such a strange woman in the small place of Changqiao, and he couldn't help but feel compassion.
When Wang Xiuli saw that the person who came was Zhang Peng, he hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face and greeted him, and asked, "Virtuous nephew, has your family ever received a letter of urgency from White Turtle Mountain?" The sun is about to set, so tell me how to do it. ”
The Zhang family and the Wang family are both well-known families in Changqiao Town, and often have business dealings, Zhang Peng is commensurate with the younger generation in front of Wang Xiuli, and hurriedly said when he heard the words: "Uncle Wang, I don't hide it, my Zhang family also received the letter of urgency, but they want to take my sister away, and they want to see if they have the ability!" ”
Zhang Peng's words were full of righteous indignation, but Wang Xiuli was taken aback, and asked in amazement: "Virtuous nephew, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to disobey their orders? ”
Wang Xiuli couldn't be clearer that the mastermind behind He Chenggang's attack on White Turtle Mountain was actually Zhang Peng's father and son, but since He Chenggang was stabbed to death by a man in white with a sword, and the Zhang family's courtyard martial artists dispersed in a hurry, the Zhang family no longer has any capital to compete with the mountain bandits.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiuli suddenly thought of an incident that the family in charge told him in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoyu, the daughter of the Zhang family, jumped into the river to find her death because she didn't want to go to White Turtle Mountain to be humiliated, but instead of dying, she was rescued by a young son.
Wang Xiuli couldn't help but fixed his gaze on Lu Yi's body, and said in his heart, Is there anything else terrifying about this young man?
Wang Xiuli has been in business for decades, and he has seen countless people of all kinds, when Lu Yi and Zhang Peng arrived just now, he saw that Lu Yi's behavior was extraordinary, and it was definitely not a martial artist or something like that recruited by the Zhang family, but just now most of his attention was on Zhang Peng's body, and he didn't observe Lu Yi much.
As a result, this observation didn't matter, Wang Xiuli suddenly found that with his ability to recognize people that he had practiced for so many years, he couldn't see through the young man in front of him, and he even had an illusion that this young man was like a bottomless spring, obviously so clear and flawless, but unfathomable.
Zhang Peng hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, don't hide it, my Zhang family is really going to deal with this group of demons on White Turtle Mountain today!" And the purpose of my coming to you is to hope that you will also stand up and resist, and we will work together to clean up this group of demons! ”
Zhang Peng saw that Wang Xiuli's eyes were about to fall out, and continued: "In the afternoon, my father and I have already decided to marry my sister-in-law tonight and hold a banquet at home. ”
"Huh?" Wang Xiuli was so shocked that he almost sat down on the chair, he looked at Zhang Peng in a daze, his breathing suddenly became short, and after a while, he asked in a trembling voice, "Virtuous nephew, aren't you crazy?" What the hell is going on? ”
Does the Zhang family really want to marry their daughter? Isn't this Chi LL's going to slap the bandits in the face of the White Turtle Mountain? What barriers do they have? Could it really be that the childish teenager in front of him can't do it?
