After the Shangyuan Festival, the temperature warms up, and the sun breaks through the barrier of the clouds and splashes on the snow, completely melting and evaporating the snow of the New Year, turning it into moisture in the air, curling between heaven and earth.

In Jingzhou City, the marriage of Liu Chang'e, the youngest daughter of Liu Tingshi, was hastily ended because of the Cui family's extermination case, the head of the Cui family was brutally killed when Liu Chang'e was welcomed into the Cui family, and several Cui family servants were killed, and now these things are known and discussed by the whole city.

Liu Tingshi is very concerned about the Cui family's extermination case, and now there are faint rumors in the city that Liu Tingshi's youngest daughter is the reincarnation of the Dead Star Broom. First, the Cui family would always give him bribes, and Liu Tingshi would turn a blind eye to many illegal and unruly things in the Cui family, and now that the Cui family was slaughtered, he naturally must fulfill his obligations, otherwise there is such a big thing in the city, but the assassin Shi does nothing, and he will inevitably be criticized; The second is that when his youngest daughter married the Cui family, she encountered such a thing, and she had to correct her daughter's name.

At the gate of the city, the number of officers and men who have inspected their identities has increased from the original two to the current six, and they are all strictly investigated and arrested when they leave the city and enter the city. At this time, a carriage slowly came to the gate of the city and was stopped by the officers and soldiers.

A woman in white dress appeared in the carriage dressed in a little gorgeous, and got off the carriage with the support of two maidservants, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate couldn't help but be respectful, this lady was the lady of the Linglu Ming Mansion of Jiangling County, and she came here to find her husband.

When the carriage entered the city, Mrs. Lu asked two servants to inquire while walking on the streets of the city. Half a day later, Mrs. Lu did not ask about the results. After a while, he came to the Thorn Mansion, and Mrs. Lu asked the servant to report his identity and ask to see Liu Thorn Shi.

Liu Tingshi is comforting his youngest daughter who has just come out of the cabinet in the boudoir of the inner courtyard. Because the Cui family was holding a funeral, Liu Chang'e was unable to have sex with Cui Sheng on the wedding night, and the Cui family was currently very unlucky, Liu Chang'e said hello to Cui Sheng and went back to her parents' house directly.

"Report, Mrs. Lu outside the door asks to see you."

Liu Tingshi was upset, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he couldn't help but get angry and scolded, "Mrs. Lu, what Mrs. Lu, I don't recognize this assassin history!" ”

"Woo woo woo~" Liu Chang'e sat on the bed sideways, and when she heard the word Mrs., she hid her face and cried, and the makeup she had just made her maid put on was flowered again.

"Okay, don't cry, good daughter, wait for a while, my father will personally take my daughter to Cui's house to help the Cui family drive away bad luck!" Liu Tingshi patted his youngest daughter's shoulder and comforted her.

"Father, my daughter is not Qin Qiongwei's Chimen God, she is your heart and soul baby, how can you exorcise evil spirits for others, don't go to Cui's house for your daughter, don't be Cui Sheng's wife, his family is dead, it's unlucky." Liu Chang'e suddenly brought rain with pear blossoms and cried sadly.

Liu Tingshi held his forehead, I don't know what to do, if the marriage is withdrawn, wouldn't it make people point at my Liu Ji's nose and scold me for not being righteous? At this time, the messenger said, "Liu Tingshi, Mrs. Nalu is the wife of the Jiangling County Commander, and she said that she came here to find her husband..."

"Huh?" Liu Tingshi looked at the person with cold eyes, and responded a little impatiently, and at the same time remembered the request of Lu Mingfu a few months ago, and had a slight headache, this year is an eventful year. "I see, you go down!"

Liu Tingshi continued to comfort his little daughter, and asked the maid to wash Liu Chang'e's face, sent someone to call his wife, asked her to comb her daughter's heart, and went to meet Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu waited anxiously in the lobby, and the incense burner in the middle of the hall slowly smoked green smoke, and the aroma soothed people's nerves, but it could not soothe Mrs. Lu's eagerness to find a husband.

After a while, Liu Tingshi, who had adjusted his mood, appeared in the lobby with a smile on his face and made concessions to Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu first said a few polite words, saying that the woman's family did not understand the rules and came to visit rashly, and if she was rude, she hoped that Liu Tingshi would forgive her, and then she expressed her intention.

Liu Tingshi calmly told the story of his encounter with Lu Mingfu and his hospitality to Lu Mingfu, and said that Lu Mingfu only stayed for a few days before leaving Jingzhou City.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she burst into tears and began to cry uncontrollably. Since I lost news a few years ago, and now I finally heard the whereabouts of my husband, the husband and wife are deeply in love, and they can't help but miss it, so they cry out in front of the master's family with no manners.

"Mrs. Lu, don't be sad, presumably the Ji people have their own natural appearance, I will send the ram captain to find someone for Mrs., and I will definitely be able to find Lu Mingfu." Liu Tingshi was deeply moved by the affection of his wife, and after comforting him for a few words, he said to the subordinates waiting outside the hall, "Come on, call the ram captain!" ”

Mrs. Lu restrained her emotions and thanked her again and again.

After a while, Captain Ram came to the lobby.

"Liu Tingshi, is it to send troops to Sanligang to exterminate the mountain bandits?" As soon as the ram captain entered the hall, he asked with a fist.

"No, this is Mrs. Lu, who has come to look for Lu Mingfu, who has not returned for several months, you wait to help Mrs. Lu find her husband first, and then talk about the matter of suppressing bandits later."

Captain Ram was a little depressed when he heard this, but when he heard that it was Lu Mingfu's wife, who came to find her husband, and learned the whole story of the matter after saluting Mrs. Lu, he couldn't help but look at Mrs. Lu differently, so he took over the task.

After three days, Wu Yueya changed into her original linen clothes and continued to go to the shopkeeper to deal with the account books, temporarily maintaining the previous rhythm of life.

Gu Yi had talked with Wu Yueya for a long time before, first of all, he hoped that Wu Yueya would mourn, and sent someone to repair Lu's mother's tomb and set up a stone monument; Furthermore, I hope that Wu Yueya will not live in a lonely village outside the city, and the Gu family has more idle houses, so he intends to let Wu Yueya enter the Gu family. Wu Yueya just said that she still needed time to slow down, Gu Yi couldn't rest assured, and also sent someone to protect her secretly.

In the past few days, Wu Yueya has heard many rumors in the city, including the slaughter of the Cui family by the black-clothed people, and there are also rumors of a wife looking for a husband, that lady is the wife of Linglu Mingfu in Jiangling County, because her husband has not returned for several months, she came to Jingzhou to look for someone. Wu Yueya was not interested in these things, she was always concerned about when Jingzhou Assassin Shi would send troops to Sanligang, and she couldn't let those mountain bandits get away with it like this.

And Wu Yueya no longer has nostalgia for Jingzhou City, let alone facing Lu Ziji, now she only thinks about this grudge, and she is about to embark on a journey to Chang'an.

Wu Yueya passed by the place where the Wuhou gathered and listened to their conversation with her ears, after all, she had been cultivating the Pure Heart Sutra for several months, and her hearing was no longer comparable to ordinary people, and the movements around her were clear. The gathering and chatting of the martial marquis is naturally an important source of news, and although the profession is cheap, it is all over the city.

"I thought that troops would be sent in the next few days, but the captain of the ram came back and said that we should go and find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Nalu's husband, and it was ordered by Liu Tingshi himself."

"I said, it seems that Lu Mingfu originally came to Jingzhou City to borrow troops and grain, it seems that the small county of Jiangling was attacked by the bandits of Sanligang Mountain, and the people in the county were harvested in the autumn, which was a good day, but they were looted and killed, which can be described as a disaster from the sky, and it was unspeakably miserable for a while."

"Hey, the mountain bandits in Sanligang have heard about it for a long time, it was three years ago, and now it has grown to the top of the mountain of thousands of people, robbing, killing people and setting fires, what dare you not do."

"For the sake of the victim! It's really a sin, do you think that Lu Ming Mansion will be killed by mountain bandits. ”

"Hey, I think it's very possible when you say that, maybe the mountain bandits are afraid of the Jingzhou army, so they intercepted and killed Lu Mingfu."

"Yes, that makes sense, I'll go and report our brother's thoughts to Captain Ram now."

"Wait."

"Let's go together!"

Wu Yueya shook her head and smiled, this group of guys is really unprofitable, but they have some understanding of the bandits in the righteous village, but it is a group of bandits who have done a lot of evil, and they have become more and more determined to fight this mountain bandit.

After listening to the information, Wu Yueya walked in the direction of the city gate, but she didn't go far, but she was unexpectedly blocked by a few familiar evil slaves and stopped on the street.

"Ouch, but I've worked hard to find me, where is the little lady going?" Next to these evil slaves came an old woman with a thick waist and a pink face, who was the mother of the Hongjuanlou who fell in love with Wu Yue's appearance.

Wu Yueya exhaled helplessly, looked at the servants around her, and then looked at the old woman with a subtle and sharp voice, and shrugged helplessly, "Where do I go and ask you to care?" ”

"Hey, the little lady can't say that, I heard," Guan Mother stepped forward a little and came to Wu Yueya's side, her pink face was ugly, and her fat cheeks were about to squeeze out the oil, "Your Shili Village has been miserably robbed, there is no one left, and you are homeless, why don't you come to our Hongjuan Building, here you eat and drink spicy food, and all kinds of new clothes to wear, isn't the little lady intended?" ”

Wu Yueya pursed her lips, intending to move a yarn, you dead bustard, "I, out of the mud, not stained, clear ripples, not demons." If you want Lao Tzu to sell himself as a prostitute, Lao Tzu will tell you, unless the Jade Emperor demolishes the Nantian Gate! ”

"Hey, you, don't be ignorant, the old lady is kind enough to invite you, I have to tie you up, right! Come on, stun her for me! Granny Guan was sprayed with saliva, and her temper came up instantly, directing the evil slave to grab Wu Yueya.

Suddenly, a person next to him flashed out, pulled out the sword with a bang, and the cold light on the sword shone brightly, slashing several swords, forcing back the evil slave, and shouting.

"Hmph, the people of the Gu family also dare to move?"

This person Wu Yueya is a little familiar, it seems to be a guard to protect the safety of the head of the Gu family, but he has met a few times, but he doesn't know who his surname is, and now he flashed out to help, and Wu Yueya also understood.

"Y-Who are you?" Seeing that the other party's swordsmanship was sharp, Guan's mother forced a dozen or so servants to retreat, so she had to ask stubbornly.

"I am Gu Gong's guard, Jiangbei swordsman Xiao Liancheng! This little lady is a member of our Gu family, you don't have to wait until you plan to plate, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword! Xiao Liancheng put his sword back into the sheath, disdainful of the pink-faced old woman, and immediately folded his hands and looked at the sky.

"You..."Guan mother consciously took care of the loss, and now that the head of the Cui family is dead, I am afraid that the position of the first big man in Jingzhou City will be taken over by the Gu family, and some of the business of Hongjuanlou will have to be ventilated with the Gu family in the future, so I can't turn my face, so I turned my face and smiled, and said euphemistically, "Oh~ It turned out to be the little lady of the Gu family, rude and rude, I always thought it was just a wild woman in Shili Village, hey, it's all my own family, haha." ”

Then Guan Mother scolded the evil slave next to her, and after scolding, she left with a smile, and said with a smile that Xiao Escort often came to Hongjuanlou to play when he was free, and he was half price.

Xiao Liancheng blinked and coughed lightly, which meant that he would talk about it when he was free, after all, Wu Yueya was not easy to say next to him, so he continued to hold his arms and pretend to be forced to the end for the sake of his own face.

When Guan's mother was completely far away, Xiao Liancheng hugged his fist at Wu Yueya, "The head of the Gu family specially instructed me to protect the thoughtfulness of the little lady of Yueya these days, after all, Shili Village has suffered a great disaster, and the little lady of Yueya is alone, it is really not safe, and the intention of Gu Gong has been conveyed to the next, what choice to make is still ask the little lady Yueya to consider it for herself!" ”

"I know, I'll think about it, thank you Swordsman Xiao for coming to the rescue! By the way, isn't Swordsman Xiao going now? Wu Yue replied with a salute, expressing her gratitude, and asked curiously.

"Huh? Where to? Xiao Liancheng scratched his chin's beard, a little unclear.

"Half price!" Wu Yueya deliberately teased. This made Xiao Liancheng blush, and he was embarrassed, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Wu Yueya.

After Xiao Liancheng left, Wu Yueya continued to walk towards the city gate. It's getting late, and it seems that it has become a habit to finish work and return to the nest in Shili Village, but it is no longer used to this habit, and this contradiction breeds in Wu Yueya's psychology.

Only then did she go out of the city gate, but she heard a woman's cry, her voice was hoarse and sad, she was telling her pain and pain, and asked Liu Tingshi to seek justice for her.

Wu Yueya stepped forward and saw a woman in white kneeling on the ground in front of her, this woman was draped in linen, kneeling on the mat, and a corpse was displayed next to her.

"The Jiangling Lu clan petitioned Jingzhou Liu Thorn History! Send troops to Sanligang! Suppress the bandits! ”

"My husband is the commander of Jiangling County, and he has been an official for several years and still has merit, but he was robbed and killed by the righteous gathering of Zhaishan bandits, and now the bones are not cold, the grievances are difficult to settle, and the sky has no eyes, please Liu stabbed Shi Zhao Xueping bandits, in order to prove that Lang Lang is good!"

As soon as the woman finished shouting, the two maids next to her also cried with the master, and many people around saw the sadness of the scene, and inevitably the old and the young wept together.

Wu Yueya looked at the woman in white and remembered the news she heard from Wu Hou, this should be the Mrs. Lu, who came from Jiangling to Jingzhou to find a husband, it can be seen that the love between husband and wife is deep, and the corpse on display next to it should be the husband of this woman.

Wu Yueya sighed, the mountain bandits are in trouble, the scourge is on the one side, this woman is also pitiful, she looks like she is only in her twenties, she lost her husband, this mountain bandit really can't stay.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves at the city gate was chaotic, and everyone looked over and saw that it was Liu Tingshi who came, and they all ran and shouted support, hoping that Liu Tingshi could send troops to quell the bandits and remove the scourge of the mountain bandits for the people in the Jiangling area.

Liu Tingshi first comforted Mrs. Lu, and then told the people that they would send troops to suppress the bandits on a certain day. Ordered someone to clean up the corpses on the ground, and then took Mrs. Lu to the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Tingshi knew that the most headache had come.

Wu Yueya followed these people to watch Liu Tingshi who returned to the city with great anticipation, and then happily walked in the direction of Shili Village, thinking about how to follow the army to level the mountain bandits.
