Chapter 27: Rumors Spread

Early in the morning, Pengcheng began to become lively.

Merchants, merchants, common people, beggars, the streets are crowded with people and bustling.

And in the midst of this endless crowd, some beggars' songs spread far and wide:

"There are immortals in the Heavenly Master's Dao, who can pinch and calculate the fate of the heavens.

Although Jin Lin is dead and remnant, he dares to laugh at the world and is not a husband.

The master holds the sword, and the cloud crane slashes the thief.

...”

The little beggars sang happily in the streets, and the common people and the merchants found it interesting and hummed along with them, and the song soon spread. Ordinary people can't see it, but those who have a little insight have a slight change in their faces.

It's close to noon.

The two carriages slowly drove into Pengcheng, and the soldiers defending the city lined up on both sides with a respectful attitude.

This is the carriage of the Li Mansion, Li Yuanxiao and his son Li Changyun rode in front, nodded to the soldiers, and then returned to the Li Mansion.

"Father, after coming back this time, will you go back to the barracks directly, or will you rest at home for a few days?" Li Changyun asked.

Li Yuan was in his forties and had a resolute face, and he said: "Before going out last time, the Zhao family in Qingzhou wrote a letter saying that Zhao Baoyu would come to Pengcheng, and the time must have come." Clear Sky's marriage is a major event, and my father is not in a hurry to return to the barracks, and it happens to be low-key and low-key. ”

As Sima Yue, the king of the southeast, was sick for a long time, he was particularly afraid of the generals under his command, fearing that they would support their own troops. Therefore, Li Yuanxiao took the initiative to divide the right to lead the troops, and at the same time, he rested for a period of time if he had nothing to do.

Li Yunchang frowned slightly, and said, "Father, the child heard that Zhao Baoyu has a very bad reputation, wouldn't it be too aggrieved to let his sister marry him?" ”

Li Yuanxiao smiled and did not speak.

And at this moment, the little beggars arranged by Yue Yidao happened to run by, and the song was just right.

Li Yuanxiao suddenly grabbed the reins, looked at the frolicking little beggars, and frowned.

"Father, what's wrong?" Li Yunchang asked.

Li Yuanxiao said: "It's okay, go home." ”

Despite this, he gave the guard beside him a look, and the guard immediately went to investigate.

Back at the Li Mansion, Li Qingkong and Yu Xuefei were already waiting in front of the mansion.

"Daughter to meet father, mother, aunt!" Li Qingkong bowed.

Li Yuanxiao waved his hand, let her get up, and hurriedly asked, "Has Zhao Baoyu arrived in Pengcheng?" ”

Li Qingkong nodded and said, "It's been a few days since I entered the city, and he said that he would come to visit the house around evening." ”

Li Yuanxiao nodded, and was about to speak, but Yu Xuefei preemptively said: "Brother-in-law, how do you feel that you can't wait to marry Qingkong, just go home and take the lead in asking Zhao Baoyu, is there such a harm to your daughter?" ”

"Xuefei, what are you talking about?" Li Qingkong's mother glared at her little sister.

Li Yuanxiao didn't dare to offend the eldest lady of the Yu family, and explained: "People come from afar to be guests, and the ancestors of the two families are related to each other, if they don't take care of it, they will lose the face of the Li family." By the way, you didn't make it difficult for him, did you? ”

"Of course not!" Yu Xuefei immediately shook her head and denied it.

Li Yuanxiao saw that she denied it so simply, so he expected that something would happen, but he didn't ask in detail, and everyone entered the house.

Li Qingkong inquired about the process of going out to worship the Buddha and offering incense, because it was Li Qingkong's grandmother's last wish before her death, so Li Yuanxiao went in person for the past three years, and there were no twists and turns on the way.

Because the prospective uncle came in the evening, Li Yuanxiao asked everyone to go down to prepare, and he returned to the study.

At this time, in front of the door of the study, the guard who arranged the investigation had returned.

The guards told Li Yuanxiao in detail about the search, Li Yuanxiao suddenly frowned, waved his hand, and asked the guards to retreat, and Li Yuanxiao's calm face was filled with murderous intent.

"Xuan Jizi, General Shen's revenge has not been avenged back then, what are you going to do when you run to Pengcheng now? Also, who is spreading rumors? Although Jin Lin is dead and remnant, dare to laugh at the world and not a husband, are you alluding to General Shen? In addition, the master of the Tao holds the sword, and Yunhe drives this thief Xiao, hum, is the thief Xiao my Li Yuanxiao? ”

As soon as he thought of General Shen, who was beheaded all over the house, the anger in Li Yuanxiao's heart erupted, and he couldn't wait to remove the Xuanji Dao into eight pieces and vent the hatred in his heart.

"In addition, during this period of time, Clear Sky has been repeatedly assassinated, who did it?"

Li Yuanxiao felt foggy, he had been out for half a month, and so many things had happened.

got up and came to the desk, he wanted to write down these things and sort them out, but when he picked up the book and pulled out the rice paper, a piece of drawing paper fell down, and the content of the painting made Li Yuanxiao's expression change dramatically.

This piece of paper was left by Shen Ning, drawing the spear head used by Shen Lie!

"It's the Shen family gun! That's right! The gun head is in the hands of General Shen's widow, could it be that Young Master Shen is in Pengcheng? ”

Li Yuanxiao was so excited that he immediately called all the nursing homes to inquire one by one, but they didn't find that anyone had trespassed into Li's mansion, so naturally they didn't know who left the drawing paper.

Li Yuanxiao knew that he was reckless, so he didn't immediately send someone to investigate, but he was worried, guessing that Xuan Jizi came to Xu, could it be to search for Young Master Shen?

Meanwhile.

Rumors also reached the Wang family.

At this time, the Xuanji Daoist was looking at a painting, which was also the head of the Shen family's spear.

His eyes were cold, and he sneered: "This trip to Pengcheng is to get rid of the misfortune of having the appearance of an empress, but I didn't expect to find out the remnants of the Shen family." Li Yuanxiao, Li Yuanxiao, you are really involved with the traitor. This time, I just used you to find out the remnants of the Shen family, eliminate the tumor that endangered the Great Jin, and at the same time put you in prison for questioning. ”

"Knock knock..."

At this time, Wang Beixuan's voice sounded outside the door.

After the Xuanji Daoist asked him in, Wang Beixuan immediately told him the rumors spread by the outside world.

The Xuanji Daoist immediately frowned and asked, "Can you find out who spread the rumors?" ”

Wang Beixuan shook his head and said, "The merchants, the people, and some beggars are all spreading rumors, and the spread is widespread, and it is difficult to find out the source. By the way, Li Yuanxiao has already returned to the city. ”

"It seems that someone deliberately spread it at this point in time! How unreasonable! Xuanji Dao Chang was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily, he just wanted to track down the remnants of the Shen family, but he didn't expect to be startled by a rumor, and now Li Yuanxiao must be on guard.

"Where's your father?" Xuanji Daoist asked.

Wang Beixuan understood that the next major event was not something he could participate in, so he immediately revealed the location and watched the Xuanji Daoist go in a hurry.

And Wang Beixuan also returned to his house.

"Last time, you failed to capture Li Qingkong, and now that Li Yuanxiao is back, it won't be easy to do it again." Wang Beixuan looked at the beautiful woman dressed as a man, and his tone was not good.

The beautiful woman smiled: "The masters around me are limited, I didn't expect that Zhao Baoyu's martial arts to be so good, and he defeated the great martial artist with the martial artist realm, which is really powerful." By the way, can you find out the real purpose of the Xuanji Daoist to come to Xuzhou? ”

Wang Beixuan shook his head and said; "With my current relationship, it's hard to find out. But there is nothing good about him coming, you don't know the Heavenly Master Dao, they are a group of bastards with paranoid beliefs, dreaming of eliminating all the tumors that plague the Great Jin Dynasty, maybe as the rumors spread, the purpose of the Xuanji Daoist is to kill Li Yuanxiao, isn't this exactly what we want? ”

The beautiful woman nodded.

"If you can't do anything to Li Qingkong now, then kill Zhao Baoyu first, don't miss again." Wang Beixuan shouted.

The beautiful woman smiled even more, and said with a smile: "Good! ”
