The first time to set foot in the rivers and lakes Chapter 22 The parents try the king's heart for a short time

Xu Yongzheng woke up from the bed groggily, perceiving this familiar dizziness, he did not open his eyes for the first time, but subconsciously circulated his consciousness, to feel the internal injuries and qi flowing, and sorrow covered his heart. The wound he was stabbed in the heart by Liang Xiong that day was aggravated by the flames of the lifeless fighting method of exchanging injuries for injuries. Therefore, the wound seems to be healed to this day, but in fact, the flow of the qi is not smooth, such as the river is blocked by gravel, although it continues to flow, but the damage is great. This made Xu Yongzheng, who was calm in trouble, also a little annoyed. He then got up and sat down, closing his eyes and practicing the unknown method.

Xu Yongzheng didn't know how clever this trick was, but his strength was gradual, and he felt more and more that this trick was extraordinary. He calmed down, calmed down, and after a few weeks of operation, there was no more movement, and he let the magic trick run on its own. His mind sank into the depths, and he naturally recalled the fights of these days.

Fighting with Liang Xiong, the blood spear turned into an arc, and the arc was not extinguished, and then sacrificed to the small world of the blood spear, and he barely broke it with the help of foreign objects, but fortunately, he also absorbed a little killing intent by mistake later, that is, the power of those blood red. As for what Liang Xiong said, he entered the Tao by killing and was enslaved by blood. Although he listened to it, he always felt that it was not a big deal in his heart, after all, power is used by people, good is good, evil is evil, if he is easily controlled by those killing intent, then he is not too sloppy? Later, he fought with the flames, in the final analysis, he learned to use it, skillfully borrowed the power of killing intent, skillfully broke the fire energy, and won by luck, but he always felt that something was missing in his heart, as if he had seen something wrong. I'm afraid that this problem will only have to be verified by Yan Zhutian in person in the future, and maybe there will be no such opportunity.

The wooden sign he had relied on was undoubtedly shattered into powder. But thinking back to the dangerous scene at that time, without that wooden card, I am afraid that I will have to get lost in that bloody world and be arbitrarily slaughtered by Liang Xiong, he regrets and sighs a little. I knew that the power of Zheyue's style was so great, even if I confessed it, I might not necessarily fight, after all, there was something big to do in the future. Perhaps, only when he thinks about things alone, he will seem so natural and unrestrained. In the end, looking at the moves used by the head of the Mu family, he couldn't make sense, but he also knew that there were some unreasonable meanings, or that this meaning was the truth of heaven. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, he doesn't have so much time and energy to waste, and he firmly believes that he will naturally understand it in the future.

However, this kind of self-confidence that does not make any sense, I don't know whether it is good or bad.

Such rivers and lakes are really, reallyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

After a long time, he couldn't think of any other words, only one sentence, which was yearning.

Don't die too early, wait for me!

Xu Yongzheng sat cross-legged, looked at the big sword on the side, and pursed his lips, with an undoubted firmness.

-------

I don't know how long it took, Xu Yongzheng was awakened by a rapid knock outside the door, only to suddenly find that the sun was shining outside the window, which was extremely dazzling. After a moment of attention, he quickly got out of bed and went to open the door. After opening the door, I saw that the person who came was none other than Miss Mu, Mu Yiya.

Mu Yiya was dressed in light yellow, which was a little different from usual, and there was a bit of playfulness in it that was inconsistent with the usual.

"You've got better wounds. Mu Yiya said softly.

"The wound has been recuperated several times, and with the elixir of Mu Mansion, it has healed. Thank you for your concern. Xu Yongzheng replied with a smile.

"That's good, I'm here today, it's my father who made an appointment with you, and said that he would go to my house for a banquet today. Mu Yiya said softly.

Speaking of parties and banquets, Xu Yongzheng had a headache, and he asked tentatively: "Can you stop drinking today?"

When Mu Yiya saw it, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. Remembering that he went to the family banquet yesterday, Xu Yongzheng was toasted by the elders one after another, three glasses and two glasses, his face was already red, and then at the banquet, he was even more silent. Now that I think about it, compared to when he was already drunk, it turns out that he is a swordsman who can't drink or slip.

She couldn't help but quip: "How can such a future hero not be good at drinking? I can't imagine that you, a famous swordsman, are not afraid of life and death, but are afraid of the free and easy thing that pierces the intestines! However, you can rest assured, it is just an ordinary family banquet, and you will not be forced to drink." ”

Xu Yongzheng naturally doesn't know how to drink, and he doesn't like to drink, he hates the feeling that his body is not under his control, and he hates the illusion that he will reveal his true nature, be happy and free, and speak freely, at least now he doesn't want to experience this feeling. If he doesn't want to experience it, he can only say that he doesn't want to drink, so he won't drink.

"It's a matter of drunkenness and self-intoxication, and there is no way to solve it when you are drunk. Xu Yongzheng's pretended to be deep but attracted Mu Yiya's white eyes and contempt, and she ruthlessly retorted that a dead duck is a hard mouth. Xu Yongzheng was defeated.

The two got into the carriage like this, and there was no need for any stove in the car, because spring had come, and spring had come to the world, and the world was full of warmth, and even the mood was pleasant. The two sat opposite each other familiarly, Xu Yongzheng did not choose to close his eyes and recuperate, but looked out the window from time to time, feeling the prosperity of Aoki City, and showed a gentle smile from time to time.

"I've heard that the head of the family promised you a chance, but I don't know what your choice will be. Mu Yiya asked with a strange smile.

"Opportunities, it's just two choices. One is a happy event, you can go to the top of the Qingjian Pavilion to read the cheats, and the other is not to say. Xu Yongzheng said casually.

"Could it be a family affair?" Mu Yiya said with a smile.

Xu Yongzheng's eyes widened, his eyes were full of surprise, as if he was surprised that Mu Yiya guessed it.

Mu Yiya explained with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, this is all the thoughts spent by the head of the family in order to attract talents, one is to lure him with money, one is to offer it with secret books, and the third is to ask for it." There are also three methods that are important and important. And you defeated Liang Xiong first, and then retreated to the sky, that is the seventeenth ruthless man on the Fuyao list, you are superior in strength at a young age, and there are more comments from celebrities and scholars, the future is unlimited, even in the young generation of the Mu family, no one can be out of your right, oh, except for the second uncle, who is the son of the head of the family, Mu Ming, who practiced swords in the Zhongzhou Sword Curtain. Among these three methods, only the family affair is the most important, so you should have the right to make this choice. But you must know that the head of the house has only one son, and he has no daughter. ”

Mu Yiya's voice became smaller and smaller, and her head became lower and lower, as if she was a little shy.

"I don't think about family affairs, I don't think about getting a family before I get a big thing. Xu Yongzheng didn't seem to pay attention to this at all, and his words were very resolute.

"Why?" Mu Yiya asked puzzled, and then continued to analyze. "If you become the fast son-in-law of the Mu family, why can't you go to the Qingjian Pavilion. If you want to make a name for yourself, although our Mu family is weak, we have a way to help you become famous in the world and achieve great things. ”

"When you get married, you will naturally have some ties and concerns, so you have to take into account the overall situation, and you will inevitably be caught by others, and even your family and friends will be harmed. And I don't want to entrust myself to anyone just yet. Xu Yongzheng said with a solemn expression.

Mu Yiya was stunned for a while, judging from Xu Yongzheng's temperament, she probably knew that this was the true idea of this swordsman, but in her opinion, this idea couldn't be explained, and in an instant, a wave of loss surged up in her heart for no reason.

The carriage swayed, and finally came to the front of Mu Pengli's mansion. Mu Yiya got out of the car quickly, and then guided Xu Yongzheng towards the mansion. Mu Pengli's mansion is not as good as the Mu Mansion Master's house, but under the creation of this celebrity, it is quite comfortable. The flowers and plants in the pavilion are luxuriant, and the building has a turning point, giving people a fresh feeling. Although Xu Yongzheng didn't understand the layout of the attic, he also felt that this mansion was very elegant.

Xu Yongzheng thought that the family banquet that Mu Yiya said would not be ordinary, and it was a little exquisite, after all, the Mu family, as a Donglin family, although the momentum was not prosperous enough, but the pomp still needed to be exquisite. Who knows, it's really just an ordinary family dinner.

In a pavilion, a sandalwood square table, four people are seated, Mu Pengli naturally lives in the main seat, the difference is the two women sitting on the other two sides, one of them is naturally Mu Yiya, and the other person, between the eyebrows and eyes, you can see a little similarity with Mu Yiya, her identity is self-evident, it is Mu Yiya's mother.

After a brief greeting, the four of them simply began to eat.

In the living family, the more prominent the family, the more strict the rules. And when a woman is entertaining a guest, except for accompanying the guest to the banquet, the others cannot enter the banquet and sit down to eat. However, Mu Pengli is such a transgressive person, in this mansion, no one dares to question his words. Even in the Mu family, no one will question the prestige he has accumulated over the years. Xu Yongzheng naturally understood that the woman couldn't sit down, but he didn't care much, he didn't want to spend more effort doing boring things.

Mu Pengli opened the wine jar, the aroma of wine suddenly filled, he took a bowl, filled it, and wanted to hand it to Xu Yongzheng. Who knows, before Xu Yongzheng could speak, Mu Yiya was not happy, she obstructed and said: "Xu Yongzheng's wound has not healed, and he has been drinking too much in the past few days, father, let him go today." ”

When Mu Pengli heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really a woman who didn't stay.

He glared, smiled and said, "Man, big man, how can you not drink and eat meat?"

Xu Yongzheng saw this situation, but he arched his hand and said: "Uncle, I am really too strong to drink, and I can't drink anymore today." ”

Mu Yiya also said on the side: "Yes, father, don't persuade you to drink." Otherwise, his wounds would have really rotted. When the time comes, the head of the house will blame it, and it's up to you to do it. ”

Listening to Mu Yiya's false words to protect Xu Yongzheng, he felt a little uncomfortable. The Mu family's elixir is not less, and treating that wound is not a problem at all. Looking at Xu Yongzheng's frank eyes, Mu Pengli thought about it for a while, no matter what, it is difficult for a gentleman to be strong, so he will no longer insist. Besides, I didn't mean to drink today, but I had something else to say. If you are really drunk and drunk, it is not easy to do things.

After eating a little bit of food, Mu Pengli opened the conversation.

"I don't know, are these dishes appetizing? These are cooked by Yiya's mother. Mu Pengli asked with a smile. This expression is clearly asking for Xu Yongzheng's praise.

"Well, it's not bad. Who knew that Xu Yongzheng's answer was neither salty nor light, and he didn't see Mu Pengli's expression in his eyes at all.

In fact, these meals were prepared by Mu Pengli in advance by instructing the cook, placed on the steamer, and then served by his wife. He intended to test the young man's eloquence, but he did not expect this answer. A small experiment that he had worked so hard to do, but it was only good, and he seemed to be glaring at his beard. Mu Yiya and the other woman on the side were snickering with their mouths covered, she naturally knew that Xu Yongzheng was usually so boring, but she still didn't expect Xu Yongzheng's answer to be so simple.

Mu Pengli put down his chopsticks and asked, "By the way, I don't know which sects a swordsman like you came from and where he will go in the future." ”

Seeing this, Xu Yongzheng also had to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said: "I came from a small village in Donglin, I don't know in the future, I want to only go to the place where the wind and clouds gather and scatter, and do a good job in front of me." ”

Going to the place where the wind and clouds gather, it seems that this swordsman wants to travel and make achievements. It's okay, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and he should break through more if he has some skills. Mu Pengli thought, and he also brought over Xu Yongzheng's rudeness just now.

Mu Yiya's mother on the side thought for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Then do you have a marriage match or one or two favorite women?"

Xu Yongzheng felt the smile in the corner of this middle-aged woman's eyes, and couldn't help but smile, and replied: "Not yet, children of the rivers and lakes, affection is destined, and people like me can only follow fate." ”

"So, how old are you, and are your parents still alive?" the woman asked.

Mu Yiya on the side couldn't help but protest: "Mother, is it appropriate for you to interrogate a guest like this?"

Mu Pengli was not happy to hear this, and said: "Your mother is called caring about others, how can it be called interrogation?"

Fortunately, Xu Yongzheng didn't think this was an interrogation, and he said with a straight face: "This year is about twenty-two, without a father and a mother." ”
