By the time Qin Qiong rushed home, it was already the afternoon of the fourth day, Qin Qiong looked at the red color on the door of her house, and the things needed for the birthday banquet in the courtyard were all prepared, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart for the virtuous kindness of the Jia family, so she shouted loudly: "Yun'er, I'm back!" However, in addition to Jia and Qin Huaiyu, there was also Luo Cheng.

"Cousin, in previous years, you always arrived on time, why did you come so early this time?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Cousin, that's the case, didn't Ding'er and I just get married! My mother asked me to bring her with me to see my aunt, so I left a few days early. Luo Cheng walked to Qin Qiong's side as he spoke, and when he came to Qin Qiong, he whispered again: "Cousin, why are you only coming back now?" Fortunately, I came early, otherwise there would be a big mess tomorrow! ”

"It's hard to say anything about this, I'll go see my mother first, and I'll talk to you later. By the way, what about Shixin? ”

"Shixin?" Luo Cheng looked left and right, as if he was also looking for Luo Shixin's figure, and only after looking around to no avail did he speak: "I guess I'm going to find Min'er again......"

Before Luo Cheng finished speaking, Qin's mother's door was pushed open, and Qin's mother also walked out of the house accompanied by Zhuang's family. As soon as Qin's mother saw the Jin Zhan gun in Qin Qiong's hand, the whole person shook for a moment, but fortunately, the Zhuang family reached out in time to hold it, so that she didn't fall to the ground. Qin Qiong knew why, so she had to unpack the burden of the armor and walk towards Qin's mother.

"Husband! Lord Zhang, they are still preparing for a birthday banquet in Jia Liulou, I'm afraid something is wrong, let's go and take a look? Zhuang's mind was delicate, and he sensed that there was something strange in it that he should avoid, so he pulled Luo Cheng away. Luo Cheng understood what he meant, just raised his foot and stopped and asked, "What about Min'er?" ”

"Min'er is making soup for her aunt, what can happen to Shixin with her, just let Shixin send her back to the inn later in the day." Zhuang said, pulling Luo Chengcheng to walk out of the door, Jia Shi observed the details, and when he saw this, he also pulled Qin Huaiyu back to the room.

In the kitchen in the backyard of the Qin family, the maid Min'er was following Zhuang's instructions to make soup for Qin's mother, and Luo Shixin was lighting the fire in front of the stove, but Luo Shixin always looked up to see Min'er while burning the fire. Min'er also noticed this for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Shixin, if you burn the fire, you will burn the fire, it always depends on what I do?" ”

"Beautiful!" Luo Shixin is straightforward by nature, and he speaks straightforwardly, and he blushed a little when Min'er said, and said angrily: "You see everyone says it's good-looking!" ”

As a result, as soon as she said this, Luo Shixin stood up suddenly and said urgently: "No, I just see how good you look!" ”

"Ahh Min'er listened to Luo Shixin's words and lost her mind for a while, until her hand was burned, and she kept thinking about the meaning of Luo Shixin's words.

"Where am I looking?" Min'er tried to ask. In the past two days in the Qin family, she knows very well what kind of person Luo Shixin is, and she herself has that meaning, so she wants to know what Luo Shixin likes about herself.

"Well...... Luo Shixin touched his head and thought for a long time before replying: "I don't know, it's just good-looking anyway!" ”

"Burn your fire! Fool's letter! Min'er let out a snort and ran out of the kitchen. I originally wanted to relieve the smoky glasses, but because I was idle, I couldn't help but think about my own life experience. She was sold by her parents to the Zhuang family as a maid because of her family's difficulties, and she has been by Miss Zhuang's side all these years, and she never thought about getting married, until Miss Zhuang and Luo Cheng got married, she didn't think about her future life? She can't serve Miss Zhuang for the rest of her life! Miss Zhuang will definitely marry her, but to whom? She didn't think about the dignitaries, and over the years in the banker's house, she had seen the faces of those dignitaries. And although Luo Shixin is a bit straightforward, she still knows what Luo Shixin thinks about herself in the past two days. But the problem is that she is just a maid, and she has to make her own decisions about this kind of thing.

"Shixin, your eyes hurt, you go out first and slowly, I'll burn it!" Min'er walked into the house again and persuaded Luo Shixin.

"No, I'm fine! Don't choke! Luo Shixin replied.

"I'm not saying choke, it's time to burn it on a small fire, I'll come, ah!" As soon as Min'er said this, Luo Shixin said, "Oh! He left the place with a thud.

The two of them in the kitchen room were busy happily, but on the other side, Qin Qiong knelt in front of Qin's mother and burst into tears, "Mother! The child wants to avenge his father, but Yang Lin is kind to the child, the child can't do it, and he can't kill him, and the child doesn't want to owe him for the rest of his life! But this is a matter of father's enmity, and the child does not dare to make decisions on his own, so he rushed back and asked his mother, what should the child do? ”

Qin Qiong had already informed Qin's mother of what had happened in Dengzhou, but Qin's mother just kept stroking the armor, and her eyes kept flowing with tears. "Uncle Bao! My mother didn't tell you at the beginning, she just didn't want you to take revenge! The two armies fought, each for its master, Yang Lin was the main general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it was his duty to conquer Ma Ming Pass, your father as a guard, loyal to the monarch and defend the country, did not surrender by apostasy, this is what you should remember! What's more, if Yang Lin was searching for the general's family back then, how could there be a way for you and me to live. If you insist on revenge, then repay the favor first, and then take revenge! Defeat him on the battlefield and that is to avenge your father! ”

"Yes! The child understood. ”

Seeing Qin Qiong's answer, Qin's mother nodded and said, "Shubao, you just came back, go see Huaiyu!" Let my mother stay alone for a while. ”

The next day, the officials of Jinan Mansion came to Qin's house to pay their respects, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng received them as usual, and halfway through the birthday banquet, a shout suddenly came from outside the hospital: "The king of the backer has arrived!" Everyone hurriedly went out to greet them, but Yang Lin had already stepped into the courtyard first, and said: "You don't have to pay homage, this king is also a guest today, the feast has begun, how can this king take the main place, and return to the seat!" Only then did everyone re-sit down, and when Qin Mu saw Yang Lin coming, she thought about it again and again, and stepped forward and said, "The old woman has seen the prince." ”

"Old lady doesn't have to be polite!" As soon as Qin's mother made a move, Yang Lin raised his hand to stop it: "This king came uninvited, and please don't blame the old lady." ”

"How dare the old woman blame the prince." Qin's mother responded in a low voice, and Yang Lin was relieved and said: "Old lady, this king came this time, firstly, to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and secondly, to ask the old lady for his guilt. The day before yesterday in Dengzhou, the king accepted Qin Qiong as a righteous son without the consent of the old lady, which violated the ethics of filial piety, so today I came to sue for the crime and asked the old lady to allow this matter. After Yang Lin finished speaking, he bowed with both hands. And this remark also solved the doubts in the hearts of the officials present: it turned out that Qin Qiong was already the righteous son of the backer king, no wonder the backer king would appear here.

"The prince is too worried, Shubao told me about this matter last night, and Shubao can be appreciated by the prince, it is his creation."

After receiving Qin's mother's understanding, Yang Lin immediately got up and said behind him: "Fang'er, immediately send an order, today is the birthday of the biological mother of the Thirteenth Taibao, and the soldiers of Dengzhou Mansion should enjoy this auspicious day together, and the whole army will celebrate with wine." After speaking, he turned to another person beside him: "Lord Tang, since the old lady has agreed to me to accept Shubao as a righteous son, this banquet can also be regarded as the king's family banquet, and the king should accompany the guests here, and the defense of the city will be handed over to you for the time being." ”

"Yes! Rajah! Humble Command! Tang Bi had no choice but to take the order. Originally, he asked Yang Lin to arrest Xiangma, but because the letter he intercepted did not indicate where the Xiangma gathered, so now, although he knew that Xiangma was going to gather in Jinan Mansion today, he still did not find any trace of Xiangma, and he was embarrassed to bother Yang Lin anymore.

The hustle and bustle of the day finally passed, and at the end of the day, the eighteen village owners in Jialiulou went to Qin's house in different batches to celebrate Qin's mother's birthday in accordance with Xu Shiji's instructions. After everyone greeted Qin's mother in turn, Qin Qiong originally wanted to take everyone back to Jialiulou to drink, but found that the attitude of the owner of the eighteen villages towards him was obviously different from the past, as if everyone was deliberately avoiding him. This made Qin Qiong very unhappy in his heart, so he asked Xiang Shan Xiongxin and asked, "Master Shan, but Qin Qiong has neglected your brothers, why are you so alienated from me?" ”

Shan Xiongxin hesitated for a moment, pulled Qin Qiong into the distance and said: "Shubao, if it weren't for the brothers who deliberately alienated you, in the past, you were a quick arrester for Jinan Mansion, and your identity was slight, and what you did was not much of a threat to our eighteen villages, but now, you are Yang Lin's thirteenth Taibao, if Yang Lin wants to deal with us one day, how should we be relative?" ”

"This ......," Qin Qiong realized at this point. Eighteen villages are anxious for justice and righteousness for the people, but for the court, it is a green forest ringing horse, in the long run, the conflict will only get bigger and bigger, more and more, Shan Xiongxin's worries are not unreasonable. But Yang Lin is his father-killing enemy, even if he can not kill him now, but if he wants to continue to recognize the thief as his father, he will definitely not be able to do it!

"Master Shan, Shubao is also a ......mistake to do this thirteen Taibao," Qin Qiong had just said this, and Shan Xiongxin interrupted him again: "But in any case, you are indeed the thirteenth Taibao of the Yang family now." And I also discussed with the brothers in Jialiulou, after today's aunt's birthday banquet, we will part ways from then on, you go your way, we cross our bridge, and there will be no more connections. ”

"Master Shan, Shubao has been friends with all the brothers for many years, and he will never be your enemy!" Qin Qiong was anxious to explain the relationship with Yang Lin, and at this time, Xu Shiji's figure came behind the two. "Brother Qin! It's not that Poor Dao doesn't believe you, Poor Dao has an old friend, you also know this person, he once said that the fortunes of the Great Sui Dynasty have declined, and the collapse is only in the morning and night. Imagine that under such a national fortune, how could the Eighteen Villages not conflict with the imperial court? Not to mention far away, just talking about You Junda's robbery of the emperor's platform, if it weren't for the people's compulsion, how could You Junda take the risk of robbing the emperor's platform of the mountain king. Also, I heard that Brother Qin went to Luoyang the day before yesterday, I wonder if you have seen anything strange? ”

"Weird things? What does Xu Daochang mean? Qin Qiong thought about it, he escorted Huanggang to Luoyang, as if he had not encountered anything strange except for the northwest wind.

"Strong winds in the northwest of Luoyang. Now in the middle of summer, it is the southeast monsoon season, why is there a northwest wind? It's nothing more than a warning from heaven! The day before yesterday, the owner of the single village passed through Luoyang at this time, and heard that when the saint returned from his southern tour, he actually took the people on both sides of the strait as the slender man to pull the dragon boat back to Luoyang. What an ann in the world! Xu Shiji sighed, and Shan Xiongxin and Qin Qiong also sighed when they heard this. Shan Xiongxin sighed because although he led the eighteen villages of the Yellow River, after all, he could only help one party, and could not help the suffering people in the world; Qin Qiong sighed, but sighed that if he continued to do things under Yang Lin's tent, if he had to do this kind of thing one day, it would undoubtedly be aiding and abusing.

When the three of them were thinking about something, You Junda came over, and hurriedly said as soon as he arrived: "Brother Shan, Brother Qin, my eldest brother Cheng Yanjin didn't come to pay his respects!" ”

"What!" When Xu Shiji heard this, he was immediately alert. At present, there are many officers and soldiers in Jinan Mansion, and Yang Lin is sitting in the battle, if Cheng Yanjin is arrested by the officers and soldiers, then everyone here will be in danger! In fact, although Cheng Yanjin has not been arrested, he is not far from being caught, because he is fighting against the backer king Yang Lin in the east of the city.

As for the reason why Cheng Yanjin met Yang Lin, it was that he was dissatisfied with You Junda's behavior, because in his eyes, the congratulatory gift that You Junda prepared for Qin's mother was only on behalf of Runanzhuang, and Qin Qiong was his godbrother, Qin's mother was also his godmother, and he should have prepared another gift to celebrate his birthday as a godson, but he was repeatedly shirked by You Junda, so he took advantage of the fact that everyone scattered to Qin's family to celebrate his birthday, and came to the east of the city to rob the road. At this time, Yang Lin, because Tang Bi did not catch Xiangma, after reprimanding Tang Bi, he was also leading his troops back to Dengzhou, and happened to meet Cheng Biting Jin, who robbed the road. As soon as the two parties looked at each other, Luo Fang Xue Liang immediately recognized that Cheng Biting Jin was Cheng Da who robbed the Emperor Gang, Yang Lin naturally refused to let go, and immediately picked up the prison dragon stick and hit it. Cheng Biting Jin refused to show weakness, shouted out with a "pluck out of his ears", and also chopped it over with an axe.

Yang Lin saw the axe coming, and judged that if he didn't change the move, it must be Cheng Da who was injured and died, when he was about to stab out the prison dragon stick was withdrawn and inserted vertically at his side, but when he heard the bang, the Xuanhua axe slashed at the prison dragon stick, but Yang Lin did not move.

"Pick your teeth!" Cheng Yanjin hurriedly pulled back the axe, and smashed Yang Lin's door with the handle of the axe, but Yang Lin dodged it sideways.

"Split your head!" Another axe was chopped out, and Yang Lin hurriedly flashed back and dodged again.

"Piggyback!" After Cheng bit the golden three axes, he saw Yang Lin facing the axe blade head-on, and then split the Xuanhua axe back. Yang Lin was in his left hand because of the imprisoned dragon rod at this time, and he didn't have time to pull back the protection, plus he took the first move hard, knowing that Cheng Da was powerful, he immediately made a decision and kicked the axe handle. As soon as the last half of Cheng Cheng's bite was chopped, he was kicked back by Yang Lin.

"Tiangang thirty-six axes, some ability, come again!" After Yang Lin finished speaking, the dragon stick was placed sideways in front of him, wanting to learn the power of the Tiangang Thirty-six Axes again. However, when Cheng Da swung the axe again, he always used the three moves of splitting his head, picking his ears, picking his teeth, and piggybacking on his feet, and Yang Lin knew that the other party would only use the three moves of Tiangang's thirty-six axes, because his own strength was not small, so he could bluff the opponent for a while.

"This king will teach you another trick, and the black tiger will dig out his heart!" After Yang Lin finished speaking, he took advantage of Cheng Biting Jin's last half move, and kicked the axe away with the same kick, and then lifted the Prison Dragon Stick to waist height, and put a stick on Cheng Biting Jin's waist and abdomen. Cheng Biting Jin was in pain, and the top retreated again and again, while Yang Lin bullied forward, and the horizontal rod was jerked on Cheng Biting Jin's waist.

"Ahh Cheng Biting Jin was beaten and screamed, but fortunately, his body was relatively fruitful, so he didn't fall to the ground immediately, but he couldn't move for a while because of the pain, but he didn't let it go: "Old boy, if you have the ability, let me go, watch me go to Jia Liulou to find my brother and beat you again!" ”

"Humph! Jia Liulou, right? You are injured and have difficulty moving, this king will send you over! Yang Lin said. He immediately ordered the soldiers to tie up Cheng Biting Jin, and ordered Luo Fang: "Fang'er, immediately go and inform Lord Tangbi that Jinan Mansion is under martial law throughout the whole process, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without my order!" ”
