Chapter 53: Reunion (I)
At the foot of Chu Xiufeng, an obese man wearing a brocade robe was struggling to climb up. A dagger pinned to his waist was shaking with the swaying of his body, followed by a rickety old man, whose expression was calm, and he didn't even breathe in the slightest.
The fat man paused on the steps, wiped the sweat on his forehead again, turned his hands on his knees, bowed his waist slightly, looked at the foot of the mountain, panted roughly, and said breathlessly: "Hey...... Lao Huang, can't you pretend you're tired of crawling......? A few breaths would be fine. Otherwise, it would make me ...... It's better than you as an old man......"
Lao Huang grinned, still looking honest.
The fat man waved his hand helplessly, muttered a few words, and began to turn around and climb up the mountain that was still halfway there.
These two people are King Ning and his old servant.
Although Chu Xiufeng is no longer on guard a few days ago, the enchantment laid by the monk is still there, and it still has a protective effect on some filthy and evil things. There are also monks hiding in the shadows of the mountains. King Ning didn't notice it, but Lao Huang noticed it.
Lao Huang naturally knew about the celestial phenomena on Chu Xiufeng a few days ago, and he also knew that the King Ning in front of him had finally come.
Three days ago, a person found King Ning and said that he was entrusted by the old man. The man left behind a black round jar, saying that this was a heavenly punishment and that it was extremely powerful. Lao Huang checked it, and he didn't feel any demonic spirit in it, and he didn't believe the exaggerated description of the comer. However, King Ning was very happy, and he also directly believed that this fist-sized round jar could have the same power as the Hidden Spring Stage Realm Cultivator Land.
Regardless of the obstruction and persuasion, King Ning experimented with this so-called 'heavenly punishment' in the wilderness of a thunderstorm. The three monk protectors arranged an enchantment, and after the person carefully lit the flame line of the round jar as if facing a great enemy, the enchantment circle was blown up and swayed, like a boulder thrown into ~ the water surface as calm as a mirror, causing a huge ripple and scattering in all directions. The manic and destructive aura that erupted from the small round jar surprised everyone.
King Ning laughed at that time, and said to them very happily and proudly, as long as it was sent by Xiaohu, it was all good things. Even if it's a piece of shit, it must not be ordinary shit.
At that time, King Ning was very proud.
Of course, he knew that King Ning was not only proud of this sharp weapon called 'Heavenly Punishment'. What's more, this childhood friend now named Lee Sang-ru took the initiative to find him. For the affectionate and righteous King of Dining, this is a happier thing than anything else.
Speaking of which, when he was in the burning city, he also met Li Xiangru. The perception is still good, and he will make a good hand of food, clever and eccentric, very bold, and quite unruly. King Ning has never had any big shelf in front of outsiders, and he can chat with some people in the rivers and lakes, but he still has the arrogance of a royal son, and only Li Xiangru is willing to be a little brother by hooking his shoulders.
When the heavenly punishment was in the hands of King Ning, King Ning waved his hand and agreed to Li Xiangru to enter Ning'an Town to assist Huang Xiaowei, the third lady of the Tsing Yi Gang. With the Heavenly Punishment in hand, the power of Ning Wangfu will be huge. Of course, in the matter of the third lady of the gang leader, they don't need to come up with heavenly punishment.
Ning'an Town is under the jurisdiction of King Ning, and he naturally has the right to meddle in the incident. Ning Wangfu put on an unprecedentedly strong posture, sending troops into Ning'an Town with the momentum of thunder and ten thousand blows, and all the resistance encountered was to speak with swords. Even if the forces behind you are monstrous, the civil and military generals will not buy face. At that time, the impeachment of the imperial court was all over the capital, and the verbal crusade against King Ning was flying and domineering, violating the law. Of course, these places of impeachment are also stones thrown by big people to ask for directions. The stone is thrown into the water to test the depth of the water. Those stones, however, fell into the deep pool almost in two nights, and became the lowest stone.
Seeing Emperor Jingzhi's rare tough attitude, the big figures in the court unusually remained silent.
The crown prince and the seven princes in the army were all summoned into the palace by Emperor Jingzhi and reprimanded, how many of the other scholars and cunning people really dared to disobey the holy will on the surface?
Li Xiangru sat in the courtyard and held the secret report that had just been sent, and stopped speaking for a long time. These things were a good thing for him, but he couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart. At the same time, I also understand a sentence: the fist is hard, it is the truth.
Li Xiangru is self-aware, this fist is just that of Master Zhou and the national teacher Chen Qingfeng.
The ugly lady looked at Li Xiangru, who was sitting in the yard, and frowned for a while, walked over and sat next to him gently, and asked with concern: "Brother Li, what happened?
Li Xiangru looked at the ugly girl's deep and moving eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they will stay well in the academy, and Master Zhou promised to take care of them." Moreover, Mingzhi is so smart that he will take care of them. ”
The ugly lady nodded, and said a little sadly: "It's not that I'm worried that they will have a bad time, it's just that I've been together for so long, and they're not there, and my heart is always empty, and I think they are thinking about it." ”
After the ugly lady finished speaking, she lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, feeling a little sad in her heart.
That night, they were taken out of Ning'an Town by Li Xiangru and placed in a secluded and safe place. When the scandalous mother heard that Li Xiangru was still fighting with people in Ning'an Town, she was anxious, so she begged to take her to Li Xiangru. After Li Xiangru arrived at Chu Xiufeng the next day, the ugly girl followed. The injured Li Xiangru and Miss San need to be taken care of. After Li Xiangru woke up, he asked Master Zhou to help him take care of the children, and Master Zhou readily agreed, and they didn't even say goodbye to each other.
Li Xiangru looked at the ugly girl who was in a low mood, and naturally knew what she was thinking. When he later learned that the ugly girl jumped to the cliff regardless of the danger, he was also moved in his heart. In his heart, he likes to be gentle and kind ugly girls.
In that world, he saw a lot of young and beautiful women who did not hesitate to sell themselves for the dream of becoming famous overnight, and he was used to seeing women who were frivolous and prodigal in their clothes. The ambiguity is like the air of the city, diffusing everywhere and not dissipating.
Simplicity was a very rare thing in those days. He is also not qualified and has the time to have a girlfriend, in his eyes, his sister is everything.
The glittering, drunken metropolis, full of copper-smelling decay and the trade of flesh and skin, the impetuosity of the world does not seem to have much to do with him, and even those loves have nothing to do with him.
How fortunate are you to have a woman who is willing to lay down her life for you?
If there is such a kind woman as an ugly girl, it will be a beautiful thing that he can comfort in this world.
Li Xiangru gently grabbed the ugly girl's hand and put it in the palm of his hand.
The ugly lady was stunned by Li Xiangru's action, and looked around in a panic before remembering that there was no one else here except the two of them. In an instant, his face turned red again, and his ears were red like a red and charming jewel in this faint light. She instinctively withdrew her hand, only to find that her hand was firmly grasped by Li Xiangru. He could only let him hold it, but his head was still buried in the ground and he didn't dare to speak. She could hear her heart beating like a drum.
Li Xiangru touched the ugly girl's head with his other hand, and said gently: "In the past, you took care of them, but you are also a child. Now, they all have a good place to go. The Goose Lake Academy is full of talented and knowledgeable scholars, and the master is my mentor. They're sure to have a great time there. I promise you that we'll go back and see them when we have time, and you say, okay?"
When the ugly girl touched her hair with Li Xiangru's hand, her whole body was already stiff, and after hearing Li Xiangru's words, she forgot what to answer with joy in her heart.
When did you fall in love with someone and be willing to spend the rest of your life with them?
Maybe it was just that Li Xiangru Xiu said softly in the noodle restaurant, "Your noodles are delicious." ”
Maybe it's just his heroic posture when he fights those bullies in the noodle restaurant.
Maybe it was just the innocent smile he had on that afternoon playing games in the yard with his younger siblings.
Maybe it was just that he left the courtyard and walked alone in that alley, revealing his extremely lonely back.
Maybe it was the moment he fell from the cliff, at that moment, the ugly girl felt that she had lost the most important place in this world, she was afraid of losing, she would rather fall away with those beautiful things.
Now, she is extremely relieved to hear what Li Xiangru said, and at this time, she feels that everything in this world is so beautiful.
Perhaps, none of them know what love is.
But he knew what he wanted.
"Ugly girl, ugly girl......" Li Xiangru shook a few times and was stunned by the foreign object.
The ugly lady raised her head and sighed, glanced at Li Xiangru and then quickly lowered her head, her face became more and more hot. Li Xiangru looked at the cute and shy woman in front of him, and was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by the rough and heroic voice of an uninvited guest. When the ugly lady saw that an outsider was coming, she hurriedly pulled out her hand and ran back to the house.
Li Xiangru turned his head to glared at the fat man who was shouting happily, "Boss, boss, I'm coming!"
Before anyone arrives, the voice comes first.
Li Xiangru stood up and stared coldly at the fat man with an excited smile on his face who ran in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Boss, you're still alive!" The fat man had completely ignored Li Xiangru's eyes that wanted to kill, and rushed over directly to hug him.
Lao Huang sighed in his heart, looking at Ning Wangdi's back with pity eyes, he saw Li Xiangru and a woman sitting intimately and talking from a distance, and he also saw the woman fleeing to the house in a panic. The old yellow man is old, but his heart is very bright. As soon as he saw Li Xiangru's gloomy face, he could figure out with his knees that it was a good thing that King Ning had disturbed others.
Lao Huang was relieved, the anger in Li Xiangru's eyes and face was obvious, and the gritting of teeth was also very obvious. But there is no real murderous aura on his body.
Running panting, King Ning had already arrived in front of Li Xiangru, and he was still the kind of person who couldn't stop his footsteps.
Li Xiangru suddenly showed an evil smile, stretched out his hands to hug, and when King Ning ran over, he turned slightly sideways, and then stretched out a foot......
