Mountains and rivers Chapter 57 Zhu Mian and Wang Changlu
At the archway at the entrance of Bali Town, a group of more than 20 people gradually approached the town in the light rain.
Dressed in the same silver-white soft armor, they marched forward in the light rain, their neat steps and extremely rigorous faces indicating that this was a well-trained team.
They escorted a magnificent carriage, and the two sides of the carriage were engraved with a large number of characters, which was extremely conspicuous. The team didn't stop and walked straight into town. The townspeople and the gold collectors on the streets gave way in time, and fortunately, because of the rain, there were not many people on the streets.
Otherwise, this line of people who almost filled the streets would not be able to pass for a while. The crowd on either side whispered.
"This is the son of the family who came out to practice again?"
"This is the Heng family, one of the four great families in Shining Star City, didn't you see the sign on the carriage? β
"Alas, every time a family member comes to practice, we have to retreat. Originally, I said that I would go up the mountain today, but it seems that I won't be able to go up the mountain..."
"Who's to say it's not? These kids are disgusting..."
"Dude, be careful, don't let them hear you..."
β......β
The group walked straight to the only inn in the town before stopping, which was the inn where Yang Tingfeng and the three of them lived.
The big man at the head of the team trotted to the carriage, bowed down and said, "Childe, Miss, Bali Town has arrived." Please also ask the son and the young lady to move. β
If Yang Tingfeng was here, he would be able to recognize this big man at a glance, he was the 'bandit' who seriously injured Yang Tingfeng with one punch. It's just that now I've changed my outfit.
"Hmm!" a very magnetic man's voice sounded from the carriage, flat and clear.
The big man stepped forward and lifted the curtain, took the oil-paper umbrella handed by his subordinates, and placed it at the door of the carriage so as not to wet the placket of Miss Childe's clothes.
A man and a woman got out of the car, the man looked ordinary, dressed in a luxurious cyan robe, belonging to the kind of Zhang Xiang who couldn't be found in the pile, but it was very incompatible with the magnetic voice.
The woman's appearance was stunningly beautiful, and as soon as she got out of the carriage, she quieted down on the first floor of the whispering inn, and countless pairs of eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of longing. The woman is petite, with a small round face and sitting facial features, which makes people want to hug her in her arms, giving her the greatest sense of security. The woman's willow eyebrows showed a faint sadness, a little pitiful.
The big man strode into the inner hall, and his eyes full of anger swept over the entire first floor of the inn, so that the crowd who were still watching suddenly shifted their gaze and enjoyed the scenery of the humble inn.
"This master, may I ask if you want to stay in the hotel?" Just when the atmosphere was a little weird, Xiao Er of the inn stepped forward and asked with a bowed head.
Dahan said flatly: "The best rooms, ten." β
Xiao Er's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "This master, our inn can only ask for one room." β
"... Go down. Before the big man could get angry, an old man kicked Xiao Er away from behind the counter on the first floor, and said to the big man: "This master, this is a new arrival, don't be sensible, don't blame you." You want ten upper rooms, right? Please come with me. β
Saying that, the old man led the way in front, but the big man didn't move, turned sideways and gave the young man a bow and made a gesture of please, "Childe, please." β
The young man took the petite woman's hand and walked upstairs, followed by the team behind him. It wasn't until they all went upstairs that the first floor of the inn continued to sound loud and noisy.
It's just that most of them are talking about the two siblings just now.
"Isn't that the third son of the Heng family, Heng Shui Liang. β
"It's him, the woman together is the only little princess of the Heng family, I heard that it is with her mother, called Wang Changlu. β
"I heard that there have been some changes in the Heng family recently, how can the third son of the Heng family still have the leisure to come here to play?"
"It is said that it is because of this Wang Changlu...."
The man wanted to continue talking, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the soft-armored man who had just come down from the second floor, and he immediately shut up.
On the top floor of the inn, in the spacious room, a small piece of wood burned in a small iron plate on the table, and curling green smoke rose and coiled around the room.
It is incense, which emits a strange fragrance when burned, and has the effect of calming the mind, and it is an extremely expensive thing.
The two people sitting at the table looked at each other, not wanting to give in to each other. The man's eyes radiated pampering, and there was a hint of blame. The woman is a little angry, her round face is puffing out her cheeks, but there is a different kind of cuteness, and she has the urge to make people want to pinch it twice.
"Alas, little sister, it's not the third brother who said you, you really shouldn't disobey your father's will in this matter. After all, isn't your father good for you?" In the end, Hengshui Liang was defeated, sighed, and wanted to persuade his little sister.
Wang Changlu had a sneer on his face, and said, "For my sake, for my sake, will you go behind my back to arrest Zhu Mian?"
Heng Shuiliang looked at the little sister who was about to start splashing again, and said helplessly: "What's so good about that Zhu Mian? It's just a sword idiot, holding his broken sword every day, do you care about you? Look at Brother Qin again, I heard the news that you don't eat, and I personally made a good dish and sent it to you every day." Can't you tell who's good and who's bad?"
"Shut up, I won't speak ill of him. She said angrily, "If you hadn't let him in, wouldn't he have come to see me? β
"Good, good... I can't tell you, okay. He stood up and continued: "We're here to relax, let's not talk about this, let's go up the mountain when the rain stops." So saying, he walked out.
"Ugh...."
Heng Shuiliang, who closed the door, couldn't help but sigh, the situation between the Heng family and the Gao family has become like fire and water, and the Gao family is the most powerful of the four families, so the Heng family has repeatedly suffered losses in friction again and again.
And his father, that is, the helmsman of the Heng family, thought of such a way to marry the Qin family, who is also one of the four major families, to help the Heng family, and to keep the Heng family's family business.
Thinking of this, Heng Shuiliang couldn't help but think of that Zhu Mian. A down-and-out swordsman who has traveled the world has been in Shining Star City for more than a year, and the purpose of coming to Shining Star City is also very simple, to earn Xuan Stone.
As soon as he came to Bright Star City, he plunged headlong into the Xuan Beast Mountain Range. Because he has saved people in danger many times, he has a good reputation here, and almost the entire town recognizes this person.
In the winter moon of the previous year, because the little sister was looking for a fragrance to give to her mother as a gift, she took someone into the Xuanyu Mountain Range in person. The two met in the Xuan Beast Mountain Range, but at that time, because the little sister was too deep, she was targeted by the Xuan Beasts of the Four Xuan Realm, and suffered heavy losses, and the little sister's escort team was almost completely destroyed.
The meeting between the two was also when the little sister was fighting with the mysterious beast, yes, just like the clichΓ© love story, he risked his life to save the little sister. And in order to protect the little sister, she was seriously injured and couldn't walk.
The kind-hearted little sister dragged him all the way back to the town. There was already a team of the Heng family waiting on the shore, and the little sister returned to the family when she went ashore, and he was also taken away by the gold touchers in the town to recuperate.
The Heng family also sent someone to give him a lot of benefits to thank him for saving his little sister's life, and the matter was originally settled.
But the kind-hearted little sister secretly went out to visit Yu Zhumian again and again, and during this period, she gradually became secretly in love, the two liked each other, and the most important thing for Hengshui was that her little sister was still the one who took the initiative.
The little sister, who has been extremely shy since she was a child, actually took the initiative to talk about love one day, and Heng Shuiliang, who heard the news at that time, thought that she had heard it wrong, and found that it was actually true after repeated confirmation. If it weren't for the fact that the little sister was not unusual, Heng Shuiliang would have suspected that he had cast some spell on the little sister.
The love passion of the two grew rapidly and gradually reached the ears of his father. At that time, my father was not angry, but sent someone to send someone to send him to send him a mission.
This person's talent is indeed a little low, and he has just entered Sanxuan at the age of almost thirty, and his little sister is five years younger than him. My father didn't get angry when he learned this, and my father said that although this person is not talented, he is extremely good at dealing with people. If it is cultivated, it may not be impossible to be the son-in-law of the Heng family.
's father didn't deliberately hinder the development of the two, and let the two come and go. But the good times didn't last long, and the Heng family and the Gao family had conflicts, and frictions of all sizes continued.
In this year, the Heng family lost almost half of the family property, and at this time, the Qin family, which is also one of the four families, came to the door to propose marriage, and promised that if the marriage was successful, the Qin family would help each other.
At that time, my father did not agree, saying that he would consider it. The Qin family and the Heng family had almost no contact, and the relationship was not good or bad, and his father suspected that there was fraud in it, so he sent someone to investigate the matter.
The results of the investigation really surprised everyone, and the Qin family actually came to propose marriage for Zhu Mian. It turned out that the only son of the Qin family had a mortal enmity with Zhu Mian in the Xuanbeast Mountain Range, because of the countless gold touchers in Balihe Town, the Qin family did not dare to touch Zhu Mian.
So he thought of this way, and the Qin family has only one son, everyone has to revolve around him, after learning about the relationship between Zhu Lumian and the little sister, he came up with a way, and reported to the helmsman of the Qin family, that is, his father, so the helmsman of the Qin family came to the door to propose.
At that time, the little sister tried her best to dissuade her father, but the father thought about it for a long time, but still agreed behind the back of the little sister. The father said that the Heng family's family business could not be lost, and he also sent someone to write a letter to Na Zhu Mian, and even apologized in the letter.
Zhu Mian, who received the letter, hurried to Heng's house, wanting to see the little sister, but where could he see the little sister at this time, after begging outside the door for a whole day to no avail.
This Zhu Mian actually disappeared, and no one knew where he went. All I know is that this person disappeared overnight. At this moment, a lot of rumors came out, and most of the rumors said that he was afraid of the Qin family, and then fled overnight.
This rumor is also a rumor that Heng Shuiliang believes very much, this Zhu Mian must be afraid. Only his silly little sister is still waiting for him, and she firmly believes that he will come back.
In Heng Shuiliang's opinion, this is completely unreasonable, and I don't know what ecstasy soup that person poured into the little sister. With a sigh again, Heng Shuiliang walked down the stairs.
In the spacious room, Wang Changlu stood quietly by the window, looking at the Xuanbeast Mountain Range in the distance, his bright big eyes staring directly at a large stone raised on the mountain, a touch of white in the green of the mountain, which seemed a little abrupt.
Where they first met, he was also seriously injured. Thinking of this, Wang Changlu's eyes were filled with a hint of mist. Brother Zhu Mian, will you come back? Or don't come back.
She was very conflicted in her heart, although she desperately hoped that the man who had tried to protect her would come back, but she was afraid that he would be hurt and even lose his life for himself.
She has never questioned Brother Zhu Mian in her heart, never. I always believed that he would come back, but I hoped that he would not come back. The two contradictory moods made her face look very bleak, and her petite body looked a little thin.
There was a slight sound of sobbing in the room, but the man who felt sorry for her all the time was no longer by his side at this time. She didn't know what she should do, whether she should marry the Qin family and keep the family business, or whether she should abandon the whole family for what she liked.
