Chapter 30: Who's the Protagonist?
Months have passed in a flash, and Liu Xiu has been waiting since the last time he got the news of his father Liu Biao.
It's just that not only is there no trace of his father Liu Biao, but even the people of several other families in Lei Guangcheng have no news.
One day, a little maid came to report that the second and third uncles had returned to the house, and Liu Xiu hurriedly came out of the inner courtyard to greet the two elders.
In the living room, Liu Jingjie and Liu Jingzhong were dusty, with fatigue on their faces.
"Second uncle, third uncle. Liu Xiu saluted the two elders.
"Don't be polite, sit down. ”
"My father ......"
"I'll talk about your father's affairs later, but what is the situation in the family now?"
Third Uncle Liu Jingjie interrupted Liu Xiu's words.
"All is well in the tribe, and it is stronger than ever. Liu Xiu replied respectfully.
So Liu Xiu told the two elders how he became the young patriarch and the battles between other families, including the changes in power in Thunder Light City, and listened to the two elders one by one.
Liu Jingzhong and Liu Jingjie didn't expect that they and others had only been out for more than a year, and so many things had happened in the clan.
Look at this nephew again, how can he still look frail before.
Thinking that Liu Xiu has passed more than a year, he has been judged like before.
And the situation in the family also made the two have to look at their nephew with admiration.
After chatting for a while, Liu Xiu's mother, Li Tianwang, also came to the front hall from the inner courtyard, and the three of them hurriedly got up to salute:
"I've seen my sister-in-law. ”
"I've seen my sister-in-law. ”
"Meet Mother. ”
"Sit. ”
Seeing that Liu Biao had not returned home, Li Tianwang had a tremor in his voice, but there was no expression on his face.
"Your eldest brother, why didn't you come back? Li Tianwang asked.
"Sister-in-law, here's the thing. ”
Liu Jingjie began to tell the story of the three brothers.
From the apprehension when he learned that he was summoned to capture the spirit beast of the Soul Refining Realm, he also talked about the fear of being seriously injured when everyone met the rain rhino.
Finally, he talked about the aftermath of the catastrophe brought about by the pill left by Liu Xiu.
It took a few hours before it stopped.
"In other words, after capturing the spirit beast, my husband has nothing to do, so why ......?"
Li Tianwang had a sinister look on his face, as if he had thought of something.
"This ......," Liu Jingjie swallowed.
"If you have something to say, it is. Li Tianwang glared at Liu Jingjie.
"Sister-in-law, that's the case, the eldest brother was indeed fine when he captured the spirit beast, but the eldest daughter of the county guard of Jingnan County was seriously injured at that time. ”
"The eldest brother sent the elixir left by Liu Xiu's nephew to the county guard and saved his daughter's life...... Liu Jingjie explained.
"You mean, the Jingnan County Shouen will take revenge, not only will he not be grateful to my husband, but he will assassinate him?"
Li Tianwang stared at Liu Jingjie, and a chill appeared in his voice.
"This ...... Neither is it. ”
Liu Jingjie hesitated a little, and then said:
"After capturing the rain rhino, we were each about to go home, but one night, the people of the family to which Lei Guangcheng belonged were charmed by a high-level drunken immortal and gathered us together. ”
"Then a group of people who covered their faces appeared, and killed everyone except our three brothers. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Jingjie's face was a little complicated.
"And then?"
Liu Xiu interjected next to him and asked.
Then the group took the eldest brother away, and left another sentence, saying that I didn't have to worry about waiting, but just invited the eldest brother to Jingnan County Mansion as a guest. ”
"Let me keep it a secret. ”
After listening to the third uncle's words, Liu Xiu frowned, and always felt that this thing was a little weird.
If it is said that for the sake of the Heavenly Rank Pill Heavenly Bone Pill, there is no reason to arrest Liu Biao alone, and put the second and third uncles back.
At the same time, he killed people from other families in Thunder Light City, which was even more abnormal.
"Third uncle, what did Jingnan County Shouke say about how to compensate the various families after this beast hunt?"
"This ......"
"I heard from the eldest brother that the county guard once told the heads of the families that Jingnan County will select one family from the six major cities to settle in the county government, but this matter is still uncertain. ”
Liu Jingjie pondered for a moment and then replied.
"Oh, I see. ”
Liu Xiu had a smile on her face, and she seemed to understand what was going on.
I think it should be that the county guard wanted to get the information of the pill, and casually wanted to sell one to the Liu family.
Kill the people of the other families in Lei Guang City, so that the Liu family will have fewer competitors when competing for the county government place, and it will be conducive to the development of the Liu family in Lei Guang City.
Well, it should be.
Since the county guard mansion is willing to sell a benefit to the Liu family, it means that his father should not suffer if he is brought to the county guard mansion.
Liu Xiu was confident in his own analysis, and his heart settled down.
"Second brother, let me ask you, how old is the county guard's daughter and how does she look?"
Li Tianwang suddenly asked thoughtlessly.
"Ahem, this ...... About twenty-five years old, if you look ......" Liu Jingzhong glanced at his sister-in-law's expression.
"Average-looking, well, average. ”
Liu Jingzhong didn't have the third brother Liu Jingzhong to be eloquent, and Li Tianwang knew that what he said was untrue when he saw Liu Jingzhong's appearance.
This county guard's daughter should not look bad.
"After your eldest brother added the pill to the county guard, can the daughter of the county guard have dealings with your eldest brother?"
Li Tianwang looked at Liu Jingzhong's expression, as if he wanted to judge the truth of his words.
"There is no correspondence. ”
Liu Jingjie next to him said decisively.
"Oh?"
Li Tianwang looked at Liu Jingzhong with a smile.
"Occasionally, occasionally, not much, almost none. ”
Unconsciously, fine sweat broke out on Liu Jingzhong's head.
"Let's be honest, stop hiding it. ”
I have to say that a woman's intuition is surprisingly terrifying, and Li Tianwang has a delicate mind, how can things be hidden.
Liu Jingzhong exhaled lightly, quite a bit of a broken jar, and then said:
"The man said that his young lady has admired the eldest brother for a long time, so I don't have to worry about waiting, but I just invited the eldest brother to Jingnan County Mansion as a guest. ”
After Liu Xiu heard the words of the second uncle, his mouth grew, this plot is not right, and the difference between it and his guess is a little too big.
This sentence is only missing from the previous sentence, but it can be completely changed.
Something is going to happen!
Liu Xiu secretly glanced at her mother, and then made a wooden carving.
Sure enough, Li Tianwang laughed angrily:
"Good, good. ”
"I've only heard of old cows eating young grass before, but it's the first time I've heard of young cows taking the initiative to eat old grass. ”
"The county guard's daughter doesn't know that he is the head of the clan?"
"I wonder he has a family?"
"I don't know that he has a son and three daughters at home?"
Li Tianwang asked three questions in a row, and Liu Jingzhong, who asked them, did not dare to reply.
"Hmph, hmph. It's shameless enough. ”
Li Tianwang's face was full of anger.
"That Liu Biaozi is not a good thing, how old is he to provoke a girl about the same age as his daughter. ”
may have remembered that Liu Xiu was still beside him, and then said to Liu Xiu:
"Xiu'er, you go down first. ”
Liu Xiu looked at her nose and nose, she didn't hear her mother's words just now, and hurriedly replied:
And the boy went down first. ”
With that, he went straight to his inner courtyard.
Liu Xiu was muttering in his heart at this time:
"When you are young, you have adventures, you go out and meet beautiful women, heroes save beautiful women, beautiful women fall in love, and they promise each other. ”
"Dad's script, a proper protagonist of the novel!"
Thinking of his mother Li Tianwang's strength again, he could only mourn for his father in silence.
