Mo Suyan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said softly: "Then you just say." Lu Junjie boldly asked, "Senior Sister Mo, have you booked a family affair at home?" Mo Suyan blushed and shook his head.

Lu Junjie plucked up his courage: "Senior Sister Mo, you and I have only known each other for two days, but Senior Sister's voice and smile haunt Junjie's heart day and night, and in a few days, my father and I will return to the Red Maple Sect." It won't be easy to meet again. ”

Over the years, there has never been a woman as moved Junjie as much as Senior Sister Mo, Junjie wanted to ask his father to propose to Uncle Mo, but I don't know what Senior Sister Mo wants, whether she thinks Junjie's move is too presumptuous. ”

Although Mo Suyan guessed that he wanted to confess some affection, he didn't expect Lu Junjie to ask for marriage directly, and his face was so red that he was about to drip blood: "You person, why do you come to me directly about this?"

Lu Junjie hurriedly said: "Senior sister, don't blame, I have never experienced this, and I don't know what to do, if my junior sister is unwilling, it will be because I didn't say what I just said." ”

Mo Suyan looked up at his anxious look: "It's not that I'm unwilling. If you want to talk to your uncle, just say it. Lu Junjie's mind was in a mess at this time, and it took a while to understand the meaning of Mo Suyan's words. His face was full of joy: "Senior Sister Mo, did you agree?" Mo Suyan nodded lightly, turned around and ran away quickly.

"Do you want to propose marriage to the Mo family?" Lu Wanchen, who has always been steady, lowered his voice and shouted after listening to his son's request: "Junjie, we have only been here for two days, and the two of you have only been together for a few hours and have spoken a few words." How can a marriage be so hasty?"

Lu Wanchen's expression was stern: "Before getting married, how can you understand the other party's conduct and hobbies, and then ask the media to spread the news, you don't know anything about it, so you rashly promise, wouldn't it be a joke to pass it on." ”

"Dad, Junjie doesn't know what's wrong, anyway, when I saw Senior Sister Mo, I felt that she was my favorite girl in my life, if I missed this opportunity, Junjie was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life. Lu Junjie knelt on his knees and kowtowed deeply. "Even if you think I'm messing around, please do it Daddy, and let Junjie mess around with his feelings this time. ”

Lu Wanchen shook his head: "This kind of thing is not random, not to mention that we don't know the Mo family's thoughts, if we are rejected in court, our Red Maple Sect's face will be lost, and it will not be easy to find the right family for you in the future." ”

Raising his head from the ground, Lu Junjie's expression was firm: "Dad, if Uncle Mo doesn't agree, I will come to the door and beg for it." Now that I have confessed to Miss Mo, I can't be untrustworthy. ”

Lu Wanchen looked at his son helplessly and sighed: "Are you sure the girl agreed?" Lu Junjie jumped up from the ground: "Senior Sister Mo must have agreed, even Uncle Mo has to ask your father to tell me." ”

Lu Wanchen glared at him and said, "Then I'll find an opportunity to mention this matter tomorrow, you go down first." After Lu Junjie was ecstatic and walked out of the room, he shook his head and sighed: "Isn't this nonsense." ”

"It's just nonsense. Mo Wen looked at his daughter kneeling in front of him with a trembling beard: "Su Yan, how can you easily agree to this kind of thing? Wouldn't it make people laugh at us for not having a tutor?"

"Lu Wanchen has only been here for two days, we don't know what his son is like on weekdays, and it is too rash to rely on a few sweet words from him for life. ”

Mo Suyan, who is usually docile, retorted loudly: "Dad, he didn't say anything nice, but his daughter talked to him very well, and he felt very different from others." ”

Mo Wen shook his head: "Anyway, I don't agree, this kind of thing still has to be investigated, we don't know what this kid is like at home, what if you are deceived by him." ”

Mo Suyan stood up from the ground, picked up Mo Wen's arm and shook it: "Dad, he won't lie to me, you just believe in your daughter's vision, if Sect Master Lu proposes marriage, you must agree." ”

Mo Wen pretended to push her away from the entanglement: "Go and go, you don't come to this set, this is a lifelong event, how can it be child's play." Looking at her daughter's expression, she said hatefully: "I have raised a girl for twenty years, how can I let a kid who has only known each other for two days be easily cheated away." ”

Mo Suyan jumped and said coquettishly: "Dad, as soon as you mention marriage, you say that you want to find me a good person, right, he is the fourth son of the sect master of the Red Maple Sect, is he not a good person?"

Mo Wen touched his daughter's hair and sighed: "Daughter, if this family business can really be done, of course it can be." Mo Suyan listened and put his arms around his neck and said, "I know that my father loves me the most." ”

Mo Wen continued: "But daughter, the Red Maple Sect is one of the four saints of Xuanmu, Lu Wanchen has always valued etiquette, have you ever thought about it, you agreed to his son's family affairs so easily, what will he think of you?"

Mo Suyan shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, Junjie said that he would let Sect Master Lu propose marriage to you, as long as your father nodded and agreed." ”

"I'm really not ashamed, how can anyone be in such a hurry to get married as you. Mo Wen broke his neck out of Mo Suyan's arms: "I can tell you first, maybe that kid will be scolded by his father and driven back to the Red Maple Sect." Then you will rejoice. ”

"Then leave it to fate, anyway, as long as you agree. Mo Suyan thought about Lu Junjie's face and flushed: "I believe that he will not make me happy." ”

"What is this?" Lu Wanchen asked, looking at the extra part of the black line on the sheepskin map he gave to Lingxiao, "What is that place?"

Chang Qingzi looked at Lu Wanchen's expression and was also very satisfied: "This is the method that the two Huang brothers came up with. As he spoke, he pointed at the Huang brothers with his hand. "Just ask the Huang clan Kunzhong to explain to Sect Master Lu. ”

Huang Chengen took a step forward and arched his hand: "Sect Master Lu is polite, this line was added by our brother." The route drawn by Sect Master Yilu was only a few hundred miles further north to an inland sea, which was inaccessible to the people. It turned out to be within the jurisdiction of our Huanghuadong Mansion and Eternal Life Hall. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the end of the black line with his hand: "If you go north from here, you will find the Sea of Ice." Nowadays, above the five Xuanshui, there are only a few wharves on the northeast side of the Xuanshui area, north to Xuanshui City, and east to Zhulang Island. ”

Huang Chengyi picked up in time: "There is also a wharf in Heisong Port at the northern end of our Xuanmu Domain, and there are only a few ships going to sea on weekdays, all of which are small businesses. The wharves on the Xuan Waters are similar, because although the business at sea is highly profitable, it is unpredictable. ”

"Most of the merchants who dare to risk their lives to go to sea go to Xuanshui City to buy some rare things and come back to resell, and there are occasional ships in Xuanshui City that come to Xuanmu Domain to buy some supplies. ”

"My brother once calculated that the larger the ship when going to sea, the more chances there were of safe return, and it cost only eighteen thousand taels per ship to go to sea, but the profit of the goods brought back was millions. ”

"There are so many?" Lu Wanchen has never been in contact with the maritime business, although he has heard of huge profits, he wants to do it well, and he has never had the idea of getting involved.

"Of course, if nothing else, it is said that the corals produced on Zhulang Island can be bought locally with only one fairy crystal, but the cheapest coral is a hundred times higher in Tianwai City. ”

Huang Chengen shook his head and said: "My brother has been thinking about this sea route for a long time, and originally planned that our factions would slowly explore it, but the head of Changqing said that since he cooperated sincerely, of course everyone will make money, so he made it clear to Sect Master Lu." ”

"Yes, with the relationship of Sect Master Lu, after the trade route is opened, let's build a wharf in the inland sea, order some big ships and hire people to go to sea. At that time, this trade route will not only be the Wuxuan land route, but even the sea route will also belong to us. Huang Chengyi laughed out loud as he thought about the scene.

Lu Wanchen stared at the map despite his piercing laughter, and understood that this matter was indeed feasible. "The two of them really have a unique vision, and this matter has a lot to do. Turning to Changqingzi, Lu Wanchen smiled on his face: "It seems that you have already made a decision." ”

Chang Qingzi said with a smile: "Sect Master Lu is polite, it is really our honor to be able to cooperate with such a big faction as the Red Maple Sect." The two looked at each other and laughed, and the matter of alliance and trade was officially negotiated.

After a few polite words, the next thing is to go back and arrange their own manpower, and find out the road from both ends to calculate the itinerary. As for the seaport, it has to be built slowly, and it cannot be rushed.

Lu Wanchen and Mo Wen occasionally met each other's eyes, and both of them looked at each other with anxiety in their hearts. Seeing that the big thing was over, everyone was elated, and Lu Wanchen finally bowed his hand to Mo Wen: "Brother Mo." I have something to ask. ”

Mo Wen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Sect Master Lu, please speak." Lu Wanchen gritted his teeth: "Lu heard in the Red Maple Sect in the past that Brother Mo has a son and a daughter, both of whom are upright and talented. It's very enviable. ”

Mo Wen didn't know whether he would praise or disapprove next, so he had to say haha: "Where and where, Sect Master Lu's four sons are the real young talents." ”

The people in the temple did not understand why these two men had suddenly boasted about each other's children. Facing everyone's somewhat surprised gaze, Lu Wanchen walked up a few steps affectionately: "I don't know how old Brother Mo's daughter is this year?" ”

Lu Wanchen's face showed a sudden feeling: "Oh, Lu's fourth son Junjie is also twenty this year, what a coincidence." Mo Wen immediately got off the donkey: "It's such a coincidence, it seems that the two of them really have some fate." ”

Listening to these few words of conversation between the two, everyone was covered with clouds and mountains, and Lu Wanchen quickly cut through the chaos and said directly: "Junjie is not engaged yet, since he is the same age as Brother Mo's girl." Lu wants to propose marriage to Ling Qianjin on behalf of the dog, I don't know what Brother Mo thinks?"

On this day, Zhang Zhao waited by the lake for a long time, not only Mo Suyan and the three daughters had a future, but even Long Xiyang and Lu Junjie were nowhere to be seen.

When he went to the back kitchen to kill the pig the next day, Zhang Zhao found that the fat master looked at him a little strangely, and asked a few words, but the fat master shook his head and said nothing. Zhang Zhao didn't take it seriously.

Zhang Zhao, who had finished delivering the food and went to the lake, saw Gu Xianrong's back. This scene is somewhat similar to not long ago, Zhang Zhao shouted: "Senior Sister Gu, is it boring to practice swords again to distract yourself?"

"Yesterday, Senior Sister Mo was engaged to Lu Junjie of the Red Maple Sect. Gu Xianrong said without replying, but her voice was not as cold as before, and Zhang Zhao felt that there seemed to be a trace of regret in her tone.

Gu Xianrong turned his head and saw that the expression on Zhang Zhao's face had not changed, and said again: "In a few days, the Red Maple Sect will send the media to hire, and this matter is a foregone conclusion." ”

Hearing this news, Zhang Zhao couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, so he asked, "Oh, does Senior Sister Mo like Senior Brother Lu very much?"

Gu Xianrong hummed lightly: "Maybe, in this situation, it doesn't matter if you like it or not." Although this marriage came suddenly, it was good for the alliance between Lingxiao and the Red Maple Sect, so everyone was very happy. ”

"Senior Sister Mo likes it. Zhang Zhao's face was calm, although he had some lost emotions in his heart, thinking about Lu Junjie's words and deeds in the past two days, he was happy for Mo Suyan.

"Senior Brother Lu looks good, presumably he must also like Senior Sister Mo very much. Zhang Zhao looked at Gu Xianrong and asked, "Senior Sister Gu, you came here to tell me this?"

Gu Xianrong frowned: "Zhang Zhangzhao, are you okay?" Seeing that Zhang Zhao's expression did not seem to be fake, she felt that she was a little redundant to come this time. After learning that Mo Suyan and Lu Junjie were engaged, although Tian Yuqin and Gu Xianrong were happy for Mo Suyan, they also felt that there would be some impact on Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao replied calmly: "I'm fine, aren't you happy for Senior Sister Mo?" Gu Xianrong looked at him and couldn't help but scold: "Why are you always like this." ”

"Zhang Zhangzhao, you are not small, some things should also be thought about for yourself, and you can't be stupid and always rely on others. Gu Xianrong sighed: "Can't you see Lu Junjie's mind that day?

Gu Xianrong taught a lesson like a reprimanding his own brother: "A man must have a responsibility and a goal. Whether you can get what you like or not, you can't give it away easily. ”

"Thank you, Senior Sister Gu, I know. Zhang Zhao knew that although Gu Xianrong and Tian Yuqin seemed to be rude and cold, they actually took care of themselves. He listened to Gu Xianrong's words honestly, like a child who was being criticized by his own sister.

The three girls privately felt that Zhang Zhao's temperament was too weak, and looking at his sheep-like and docile attitude now, Gu Xianrong was even more angry in his heart. With a flash of red clothes, Gu Xianrong turned around and left, leaving a sentence far away: "Think about it, don't be too sad." ”

Zhang Zhao stood alone by the lake for a long time, recalling the bits and pieces of getting along with Mo Suyan in his mind, thinking about it, a smile gradually appeared on his face, looking at the calm lake and muttering, "Why should I be sad?"

The Xuanshui area has the most peculiar topography among the five domains, with the vast Xuanbing Sea in the northeast and the Xuanmu Xuanhuo Domain in the southwest. The rivers that flow into the sea either east or north are the most flooded areas among the five regions.

At noon, a monk dressed in an earth-gray cloth robe walked hurriedly on a dirt road from south to north. The dazzling sunlight reflected on his bald head, and from a distance it looked like he was facing a blazing sun.

This monk is flying on the dirt road, with no smoke and dust under his feet, and his cultivation is obviously profound. His face was red and his eyes were kind. It was the bitter Zen monk Yuan Ming who saved Zhang Zhao's father and Zhang Daniu with a medium-grade immortal crystal in the town.

At this time, there were no other pedestrians on the road, Yuan Ming walked to a mountain, saw a small stream flowing lightly, he leaned down and gently moistened his lips, and was about to continue walking, when he heard a moan under the bushes in front of the stream.

Yuan Ming quickly turned around the bushes, only to see a man covered in blood fell to the ground on his side, his chest and face were full of blood, obviously injured not lightly, seeing Yuan Ming's throat grunting, he wanted to speak but couldn't speak.

"Don't worry. Yuan Ming walked quickly in front of the man, reached into the man's neck with one hand and gently held it up. The other hand touched his wrist and pressed his pulse.

"Huh?" Yuan Ming's hand on his neck touched, and he felt that this man did not look like a seriously injured person, cold or hot. The feeling of taking the pulse only feels that although the heartbeat is a little faster, it is strong and powerful, not like a person who is dying.

The man who fell to the ground saw that Yuan Ming's expression seemed to be aware, and pulled Yuan Ming's arm with his left hand, and raised his right hand, which had been behind his back, and with a flash of cold light, a dagger pierced Yuan Ming's waist.

This time the stabbing was close to the body and the stabbing was fierce and fast, the dagger in his hand stabbed into Yuan Ming's waist, Yuan Ming's body was half squatting, and the man let go and jumped out far away.

"Come out, everybody, get it. As the man shouted, out of the woods behind him jumped out twenty more bandits, all dressed in shabby clothes like him, carrying swords and clubs in their hands, but they were all dull and notched, and it was evident that their livelihood was difficult.

"Search him and find those few fairy crystals, and our brothers will be able to live a good life for a while. More than two dozen ragged bandits gathered around, all with a conspiracy smile on their faces.

"Wait, be careful, everyone, this monk is not dead. The man who was the first to disguise himself as a wounded man was about to come forward to search his body, but he happened to meet the calm eyes of Yuan Ming, and although there was some clarity and compassion in this eye, there was no pain at all.

Yuan Ming slowly stood up, and as he straightened up, the dagger that the man had inserted in his waist fell to the ground, and although the thorn had pierced a hole in the monk's robe around his waist, it did not hurt a single bit of flesh.

"Everyone, if you knock this monk down, you will have money to spend. More than 20 people rushed up, swords and sticks in their hands, and rained down on Yuanming. There are no powerful cultivators among these people, but they all shoot at the fatal part of Yuan Ming's body.

The figures in the field were staggered, and in the chaotic shouts of a group of people, Yuan Ming easily dodged their attacks. Not only did this group not even touch the corners of Yuanming's clothes, but because they couldn't dodge, the two men were injured by their own hands. One was swept to the head with a stick, and the other was cut in the arm by a companion's knife.

"Alas, you monk, you have such a big swollen bag on Lao Tzu's head. The bandit who was swept to the head by his accomplice's stick stroked the blood bag that bulged high above his head like a horn and shouted: "It really hurts me to death." ”

Yuan Ming looked at the situation on his head with a sympathetic face: "I'm sorry for the donor." The poor monk didn't expect this to happen. After that, he looked at the bandit who had injured his arm: "This donor should bandage it so as not to bleed too much." ”

The bandit with an injured arm shouted angrily: "Who uses your fake mercy, hurry up and hand over the fairy crystal." After speaking, he shouted, "Everyone on the shoulders." ”

More than 20 people rushed forward in a chaotic manner, and the swords fell down together, and Yuan Ming's body walked out of them a few steps like a swimming fish, and these people couldn't hold back, and they actually injured one more.

"This monk is really slippery. The bandit, pretending to be the wounded, snatched a long stick from his companion's hand: "I don't believe in this evil, everyone go again." After saying that, he took a step, and the long stick turned into a strong wind, smashing directly on the top of Yuanming's head.

The bandits followed up and slashed indiscriminately, but Yuan Ming's body did not move, and his feet slid backwards on the grass, letting go of their encirclement.

"Ugh. A loud scream rang out, and the bandit with a swollen bag on his head was hit again. At this moment, I don't know whose knife slashed the red envelope on his head, and bright red blood flowed down his face.

"Fence it off. Seeing that if it continued like this, before Yuan Ming fell to the ground, his own people would die first, and the bandits pretending to be injured hurriedly ordered: "Don't mess up, everyone separate." ”

Seeing more than 20 bandits slowly approaching in a large circle like hungry wolves, Yuan Ming still did not have a hint of panic on his face, but instead persuaded him: "You donors are strong, why don't you go and do some serious things on your own? ”

"Lao Tzu is supporting himself. The bandit with blood on his head casually shouted, "Killing you is our business." After speaking, this group of people took turns to step forward and smash Yuan Ming, and they were merciless.

"Monk, if you hand over the immortal crystals on your body, we will let you go. Seeing that he couldn't get his hands on it for a long time, the bandit leader who pretended to be the injured shouted: "Some of us saw that you had collected a lot of incense money in Baijiang City in front of you. ”

"Good, these immortal crystals are to be exchanged for silver taels to help the victims of the floods in the north, it is really not the personal property of the poor monks, and I hope you will be merciful and stop doing evil things. If Yuan Ming wanted to go, he could get rid of these people in a few steps, but he still had the idea of igniting everyone.

"Looking at the present, we people don't have enough food and clothing. Anyway, it's a rescue, stinky monk, you should save us first. The bandit who was bleeding from his head cried out in a heartfelt voice.

Yuan Ming dodged left and right under his feet, and persuaded everyone to stop, these 20 or so people took turns to shoot, they were all so tired that they couldn't hurt Yuan Ming, and they gradually retreated.

"Big brother, this monk is too difficult to kill, let's withdraw. The bandit, bleeding from his head, cried out as he pressed his wound and squinted his eyes, blurred by his own blood.

"You haven't heard anyone say that a monk who is bitter never hurts, even if we can't kill him, as long as you are careful, you will be fine. The bandit leader who pretended to be the injured smiled shamelessly: "There are so many of us on the turn, and he is tired and tired to death." ”

More than 20 bandits laughed, and were about to rush forward to cut Yuan Ming again, when a clear voice not far away shouted: "It is superfluous for such unscrupulous evildoers to stay in the world." ”

A black-robed man appeared from the bushes on the other side of the stream and looked at the scene here with disdain: "The monk won't kill you, I'll kill you." ”
