Chapter 17: Return to Qingzhou

When Liu Xu rode the Xu's carriage and entered Qingzhou City from Haiyan Gate, the east gate of Qingzhou, a familiar feeling came to his face, the towering bell tower, the wide street, and the lively shops were all so familiar.

Liu Xu has completely regarded Qingzhou as his hometown, wandering outside, and there is always something that keeps giving up on him. Here are his brothers, there are his lovers, there are his relatives, there are his friends. The big car was on Haidai Street, and Liu Xu couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Qingzhou, I'm back.

After the cart arrived at the Qingzhou branch of the Xu family's carriage and horse, Liu Xu hurriedly took his Ling Feng sword and went straight to the Xu Martial Arts Hall after paying the fare

In the left wing room in the backyard of the Xu Martial Arts Hall, Xu Jin'er was in a daze at a red wedding dress. The wedding dress had been sewn by herself for two months, stitch by stitch, and she should have worn it three months ago.

But since May, Liu Xu, who is about to become his father-in-law, went to Dengzhou to secretly visit the pirate attack on the city, and he has never returned. According to the two guards that Liu Xu brought to Dengzhou, Liu Xu was taken hostage by the pirates of the Haichao Gang and went to Huangcheng Island, but Liu Xu said in the letter to him that he was safe and sound. Now Liu Xu has been gone for four months, and there is no other news except for the letter he wrote to himself.

More than half a month ago, I heard that the pirates of Huangcheng Island, the Japanese and the Koreans jointly attacked the county seat of Muping, and they were surrounded and suppressed by the Great Song Dynasty sailors, and they have been wiped out. But until now, there is no news about his brother Xu, the pirates of Huangcheng Island have been surrounded and suppressed by the Great Song Dynasty sailors, and his brother Xu is afraid that he will also be affected by the war. Thinking about himself, Brother Xu is just a rough martial artist. Xu Jin'er couldn't help but feel upset in her heart. Not a single thing has been found. Since hearing the news that the Great Song Sailor had encircled and suppressed the pirates on Huangcheng Island, Xu Jin'er hadn't slept well for half a month.

Xu Jin'er, who was looking at the wedding dress, suddenly heard her brother Xu softly calling her name. But she didn't care, still looking at the wedding dress in a daze. Because she has been in her dreams countless times in the past few months, she heard Brother Xu come back and call her name, but every time it was not true, she was already a little tired of reacting to it.

"Jin'er", Xu Jin'er heard Brother Xu shouting at her this time in a louder voice. And it seems to be right around, it sounds so real. Xu Jin'er couldn't help but turn around, and saw a young man with a somewhat dark face standing behind him, and couldn't help but be stupid, isn't this who Brother Xu is that he has been thinking about for a long time? ! Xu Jin'er was afraid that this was her hallucination, so she rubbed her eyes violently, opened them and saw that Brother Xu was still there, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Liu Xu took a few steps forward and hugged Xu Jin'er into his arms. Said softly: "Jin'er, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Xu Jin'er hugged Liu Xu tightly. For fear that he would lose it again, he buried his head in his arms and sobbed softly, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow!

After a long time, Xu Jin'er stopped crying, raised her head, looked at Liu Xu and said, "Brother Xu, you are dark!" ”

Liu Xu said in his heart: In the hottest four months of this year, I was exposed to the wind and sun on the island, can I not be dark! However, Liu Xu said with a smile: "The black spots are good, the black spots save people and say that I am a little white face!" ”

Xu Jin'er burst into tears and smiled: "Well, the black dots show that Brother Xu is manly!" ”

"Didn't I have a manhood before?"

"I used to look like a little white face!"

"Eh", Liu Xu couldn't help but be speechless!

Xu Jin'er smiled happily and was very happy

At night, the living room of the Xu family is very lively, since Liu Xu went to Dengzhou, the living room of the Xu family has not been so lively for a long time. Liu Xu, Xu Yanxin, Xu Guodong, and Xu Guoliang sat at the table chatting, while Xu Jiner and her mother were busy under the stove.

Liu Xu was telling the three of them about his experience in the past few months.

Liu Xu's eloquence is already good, and his experience this time is quite tortuous, so he has a bit of a storyteller's flavor. When talking about being held hostage by pirates on Salmon Island, Liu Xu said something thrilling, and the three of them couldn't help but be nervous. said that when he met Lu Dongbin's apprentice Xie Yunliu on the island and was accepted as a disciple by him, the three of them were happy for Liu Xu again. Speaking of the rebellion of the Haichao Gang that day, when he entered the rebel gang, exerted his might, and killed the Quartet, Xu Guodong and Xu Guoliang couldn't help but look at Liu Xu with admiration, and even when Xu Yanxin heard Liu Xu say that he was so powerful after only practicing the Qi Conduction Technique for three months, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. When she said this, even Xu Jin'er ran over from the stove room to listen to Liu Xu's story.

When Liu Xu saw Xu Jin'er coming over, he couldn't help but be a little complacent about the fact that when he participated in the Gudoro tribe's selection conference, he was picked by Mallena, the flower of their tribe, but he ruthlessly refused. When Xu Jin'er heard Liu Xu's story, she couldn't help but glance at Liu Xu fiercely, and said, "You still have some conscience, otherwise you will be beaten!" After saying that, he went to the stove room to help his mother cook, and everyone laughed, obviously Liu Xu was often beaten by Xu Jin'er before, and they all knew about it.

Liu Xu was a little embarrassed and touched his nose and said: "Hehe, now that I am bleeding with a sword, Liu Yunkai is not so easy to beat, if you want to beat me, you have to ask my Ling Feng Sword if you agree." ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh again.

The dishes were all served, and Xu Yanxin greeted the table loudly.

The six people sat around the table, Xu Yanxin picked up the wine glass and said: "Xu'er's trip to Dengzhou this time can be regarded as a thrill and no danger, come and give Xu'er a glass together, wash the dust for Xu'er, and also suppress the shock for Xu'er, come, do it!" ”

Liu Xu and the three of them all took their wine glasses and drank in, Xu Jin'er and her mother drank all sweet wine, and they also toasted.

Everyone is their own family, not so particular, after a few drinks, chatter. As he spoke, he naturally talked about the marriage that had been delayed because Liu Xu went to Dengzhou.

Xu Yanxin said to Liu Xu: "I originally wanted you to marry Jin'er in June this year, but who knew that the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Xu'er went to Dengzhou, and it was four months to go, and now it's September." I don't think it's better like this, tomorrow I'll go find someone to pick a good day, and you can get married as soon as possible. Your teacher Kou Zhizhou has now returned to the capital, and when he left, he sent someone to our martial arts hall to deliver a message, and asked me to tell you when you come back, so that you can enter Beijing as soon as possible, so that he can arrange a future for you! This is a major event that cannot be delayed, and it cannot be delayed. So what I mean is, you get married as soon as possible, and go to the capital as soon as possible after you get married! ”

Liu Xu heard Xu Yanxin say that Kou Zhun had left Qingzhou and returned to the capital, and couldn't help asking, "The teacher has returned to the capital, when did it happen?" ”

Xu Yanxin said: "It's been more than half a month, Kou Zhizhou should be after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he will leave for the capital, I heard that Kou Zhizhou returned to the capital this time and was promoted to the governor!" Xu Yanxin replied to Liu Xu with some excitement. It can be seen how important the message that Kou Zhun brought to him is. Xu Yanxin has always felt that his son-in-law is not an ordinary person, but now it seems that it is true, the future of the person who is in the prime minister's prime minister can be worse.

Liu Xu heard that his teacher Kou Zhun returned to Beijing to serve as the governor, and his teacher did not forget to let him go to the capital, I was afraid that he had the intention of promoting himself, and he was also very happy. Now Liu Xu is no longer a rookie who just came to the Great Song Dynasty more than a year ago, and now that he has been in the Great Song Dynasty for more than a year, he naturally knows the importance of power in the era of the official standard. Now that he wants to promote himself, he can't refuse. At the same time, Liu Xu is full of yearning for the most prosperous city in Bianliang in this era, and he really wants to see what this prosperous Bianliang is like in ancient Chinese history.

Thinking of this, Liu Xu couldn't help but hurriedly said to Xu Yanxin: "Just according to the arrangement of my father-in-law, let's pick a good day to get married as soon as possible, and when the marriage is over, we will go to Bianliang as soon as possible!" ”

Xu Yanxin said: "Okay, then I'll arrange it as soon as possible!" ”

Xu Jin'er couldn't help but be a little shy when she heard them talk about marriage, but she was secretly happy. (To be continued......)
