The sky is at its deepest before dawn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The starry sky finally disappeared from the night sky before daylight arrived. At the junction of heaven and earth, the sun seemed to be the last and most violent agitation before the birth of the fetus, it anxiously tore the afterbirth that wrapped itself, only in a moment, the dazzling light penetrated the high sky, and then, more sunlight gushed out, the sun broke free of the last trace of bondage, clothed in colorful glow, jumped out of the place where the heaven and earth were broken, and the mountains and mountains of the rolling hills surged, as if someone had chopped up the sun, and then sprinkled this handful of broken gold on the clouds, and those who were originally lead ash, Pale clouds adorn each other, thousands of reds and thousands of golds, and these two colors ignite the most magnificent morning glow.

Chen and his daughter got up at the beginning of the hour, and the personal maid served them to change clothes and wash, after grooming, and after using the morning food, the powerful big girl sorted out all the tools - the grand Huayan **** has ended yesterday, although there are still senior monks in Yuanjue Temple on stage to preach the Dharma, but Chen is already satisfied, and does not plan to continue to go down in Fushun, and is ready to take his daughter back to Yibin today.

This trip to Fushun made Chen quite satisfied. In the past few days, the son-in-law has been hospitably entertaining, lest there be something not meticulous enough, and some things that the righteous son Chen Mingjiang told her also made the mother very happy in private - the son-in-law Li Yongzhong is a good boy who is honest, and there is no such thing as a common room for everyone nowadays, and as for the concubines, they have never heard of it. And listening to Yizi's tone, he is also very satisfied with this future brother-in-law: Li Yongzhong looks weak, but he is full of blood inside, and he is even better at spearmanship! Chen Mingjiang had a discussion with him, he was a figure who had fought on the battlefield, but he couldn't bargain with the salt merchant in this remote town in eastern Sichuan!

As for her daughter Pei Pei's perception of her uncle...... Chen smiled and looked at his daughter who was packing up her underwear, just when Pei Pei turned around, and saw her mother with a strange smile, Pei Pei felt a sense of shame rushing straight to the halo door, she forced herself to calm down, did not hide from it, and smiled at her mother: "Early in the morning, what is my mother happy about?" ”

"Hey, it's a really nice day." Chen lovingly touched his daughter's sideburns and quipped: "I used to dress so plainly, why did I suddenly remember to change my clothes today?" Hey? She pretended to be fuss and found out, picked up a string of white buds on Pei Pei's side, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant!" Was it sent by the Buddha in a dream? ”

Pei Pei's face was so red that she was about to drip blood, and she didn't want to think about it, so she snatched the yellow julan that was strung on the silk thread back from her mother's hand, and suddenly heard a light laugh around, and then saw her mother and a few maids covering her mouth and chuckling, remembering just now, she couldn't help but sigh, and she was anxious to put those few flower bones into her purse.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing this, Chen laughed even harder, and even folded his waist, Pei Pei reacted, stomped his foot lightly, couldn't help but let go, and threw himself into his mother's arms like a milk swallow returning to the nest, twisting the candy and coquettishly saying: "Mother! ”

In the quiet Zen courtyard, the carefree laughter of girls wafted.

Outside the monastery, Chen Mingjiang had already ordered 50 personal soldiers, the carriage had been washed and inspected, and he had checked the suitcases and cages and other things -- compared to the time when he returned to Yibin this time, there were all kinds of gifts from Li Yongzhong to the Yue family, among which all kinds of curiosities did not need to be detailed, and they were full of three large boxes, and Chen Mingjiang's hair was almost gray because of how to send them back to Yibin. Fortunately, the Li family later sent a carriage and the coachman waited, and it was said that when he arrived in Yibin, he would let the coachman go directly to the Li family's courtyard.

He was pacing back and forth on the side of the carriage with the handle of the knife on his waist, and after a while, he saw his mother-in-law and sister Pei Pei slowly walking out of the courtyard under the support of the maid. He hurriedly stepped forward, did not dare to raise his head, saluted Chen with a fist, and said, "Madam, everything is ready, we can go." ”

"I heard my uncle say that he was going to see him off, why didn't I see others?" instructed the maid to help her daughter to the car first, Chen suddenly remembered this and asked casually: "I saw him on **** yesterday, didn't I hear Zhong Guan'er say that he won't come today?" ”

Chen Mingjiang lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The little guy Wutong next to Uncle Fang Cai said, Uncle Dao is worried about the narrow mountain road, and we have a lot of horses, he also brings his entourage, it is inconvenient to go up the mountain, please ask Mrs. and the girl to go down the mountain first, he is waiting for us at the foot of the mountain." ”

"In that case," Chen nodded slightly, "let's go on our way." ”

Li Yongbo crashed into his uncle Liu Sankui's study all the way, and chased after him with a bitter face regardless of the Liu family's steward. He trembled with excitement, as soon as he saw that Liu Sankui was about to speak, he was glared at by his uncle, and finally there was still a trace of clarity, and he worked hard to close his mouth, and when Liu Sankui waved away, he couldn't wait to speak: "That little bastard went out of the city!" ”

Liu Sankui was holding a wolf pen, and when he heard this, his hand shook, and a drop of thick ink dripped on the paper, and half of the copied scripture was scrapped. He threw the pen on the table, Huo Ran got up, his cheeks couldn't help trembling, and he asked his nephew, "Is this serious!?" ”

"Not bad at all! I watched him go out of the gates! Li Yongbo replied categorically, "If there is a mistake, my uncle can just take my head!" ”

"I want you to do something!" Liu Sankui walked eagerly around the room with his back hand, thinking about it repeatedly, his heart had already made up his mind, he paused suddenly, his face trembled, his teeth creaked, and a pair of white and black eyes were full of fierce light. He kept instructing his nephew: "I will immediately send someone to ride a fast horse and walk the path to inform Deng Xiaobao!" There is nothing wrong with what you have done before, right? ”

"That little bastard wants to be courteous to his Yue family, and he must go to Xinxing! From Fushun to Xinxing, there is always only one way! If you don't take the mountain road, you have to turn to Longchang, take Nanxi Station, and toss more than 100 miles in vain! There are a lot of women in his Yue family's team, all of them are delicate women, how can they endure the long road!? It must be emerging! Li Yongbo said with a foaming mouth, that sincere and sincere color, I can't wait to tear out a heart from my chest!

"Good!" Liu Sankui slapped the table, slapped the teacups on the table and jumped on the spot, splashing the tea, he didn't care about these at the moment, gritted his teeth word by word and said: "In this case, I will send that little bastard to the west sky!" Today next year will be his death day! ”

"Leopard Head!" Lin Dahu hurriedly walked to Deng Xiaobao's side, clasped his hands into fists, his face was filled with irrepressible joy, and his voice was rude: "Then Liu Sankui is here!" ”

"What do you say!" Deng Xiaobao half-closed his eyelids, sat cross-legged on a bear skin, and heard Lin Dahu's report, but there was no excitement on his face, and he was still indifferent and cold. Lin Dahu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Send the messenger up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two bandits came out of the crowd and dragged the messenger of the Liu family to Deng Xiaobao like a chicken. The messenger was Liu Gui's son, nicknamed Liu Erwa, and one of Liu Sankui's henchmen, at this time he staggered and was pushed in front of Deng Xiaobao, his legs were numb and weak, and he knelt down in front of this young and fierce bandit.

"Liu Sanye asked you to report the news?" Deng Xiaobao put his hand on his chin, looked the messenger up and down, and only retracted his gaze when he saw that he was trembling like rain, and asked lightly: "Message or document?" ”

"Mouth, mouth!" Liu Erwa swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lowered her head, and only had a pair of boots stained with reddish-brown soil in her vision. He trembled like chaff and said tremblingly: "The master said that documents are easy to keep handles, and they are not safe, but only ask us to use oral messages to speak. ”

"Say." Deng Xiaobao spit out a word in a concise and horrible manner.

"Master, the master and the leader are talking, the original method remains the same, and when you arrive in the afternoon today, you are still setting up an ambush on Jiashan Road!"

"Good!" Deng Xiaobao Huo Di jumped up from the spot, and the tip of his tongue burst out like a good word like thunder! He stared at Liu Erwa and ordered word by word: "You also bring me a word with your master, brother, don't see blood, don't die, don't stop!" Tell him to prepare the honeysuckle red, clean up the people, and I will come to collect the debt! ”

All this that happened in the mountains and forests is now unknown to anyone except for Liu Sankui and Li Yongbo's uncle and nephew, who are anxiously waiting in Fushun's Liu family. When the 100 bandits did not stop and went straight to the Jiashan Road, Li Yongzhong was walking beside Chen Mingjiang on a Dian horse. It was the first time since he came to this era that he had been in contact with someone in the military.

"What I have seen is the old and weak soldier of the Inspection Division, and this is the first time I have seen the majestic posture of a martial artist." Half sincerely, half flatteringly slapping Chen Mingjiang, Li Yongzhong said with a smile: "Brother Mingjiang is upright, and he really has the heroic spirit of a soldier." ”

Chen Mingjiang waved his hand again and again, saying that what Li Yongzhong said was really exaggerated. He is a straight character, he really can't do anything except for the war, his parents died at a young age, and after being adopted by Chen Xianda, he regarded this family as a flesh and blood relative, and now Chen Peipei and Li Yongzhong's marriage has been decided, in Chen Mingjiang's heart, even if he is a little picky, there is no difference with his family.

He turned around and glanced at the carriage, felt something, turned his head and looked calm, and only said to Li Yongzhong very seriously: "I trust you to be a Zhongguan'er - my father-in-law only has a daughter under my knees, Pei Pei, and I have watched her grow up, just like my own sister, and now my father-in-law entrusts his sister to Zhongguan'er for the rest of his life, although I know that I am not qualified to speak, but I still have to say a word to Zhongguan'er." His face turned serious, and a pair of eyes as sharp as eagle eyes stared at Li Yongzhong, and said sharply: "If you dare to live up to Pei Pei, even if you go to heaven and earth, I will cut you with a thousand knives and break your corpse into thousands of pieces!" ”
