Chapter 12: Return to the City
Liu Ruyi and a few dancing girls snuggled up to each other.
Shen Lian walked towards them.
Poof!
They all knelt down at once, and said in unison: "Thank you for your great grace in saving your life." ”
Shen Lian raised his hand and smiled gently: "The effort of raising your hand is not enough to worry about." Please get up, please get up!"
Liu Ruyi slowly got up, pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "Was Engong sent by Wan Sanye to save me?"
Shen Lian shook his head: "I only came to kill thieves, and I didn't know you were here in advance." If he had known this, he would definitely not have made Mrs. Wan suffer for half a year. ”
Liu Ruyi sighed and said, "I have a divine object to protect my body, but I didn't suffer anything, but I only took pity on my maids." ”
Shen Lian's eyes flashed: "The divine object on Lady Wan's body, is it the loyal Gu?"
Liu Ruyi nodded: "Three years ago, I was still a geisha, making a living by selling laughter, and I met Wan Sanye, he treated me very well, he was humble and gentle, and he was deeply cultivated.
However, the gossip in the world, everyone is gold, who would believe the sincerity of a geisha who has fallen into the dust, I have to hide this feeling deep in my heart, hoping to stay by Wan Sanye's side for one more day, that is my blessing.
Unexpectedly, Wan Sanye also had true feelings for me and wanted to marry me home.
He said that a noble person gave him a sacred artifact called Loyalty Unswerving Gu, this divine artifact takes true love and loyalty as food, and only when he meets the right person will he awaken and produce the magical power to protect the host.
Moreover, the stronger the feelings of true love and loyalty, the stronger the protective power of the fetish.
In this way, Wan Sanye and I, under the witness of the gods, broke through the world's ignorance, and the lovers finally became married. ”
"I see! No wonder Third Master Wan is willing to give you all his property!"
Shen Lian suddenly realized, and sighed in amazement, "This loyal and unswerving Gu, with each other with foam Gu, white-headed old Gu, Yue Lao Gu, etc., are all marriage Gu.
Thousands of miles of marriage Gu is coming!
You are in love with Wan Sanye's true love, you are willing to be a winged bird in heaven, and you are willing to be a Lian Li branch on the earth, so you have refined the loyal and unswerving Gu, thus obtaining its protection.
It's a pity that the protective power of this loyal Gu is a passive skill, and it will only appear when you are in danger, otherwise you can use the power of Gu to defeat Guan Chao, the evil thief. ”
Liu Ruyi blinked and said in surprise: "What Engong said is the same as what Wan Sanye told me, could it be that you are the legendary Gu Master?"
Shen Lian was noncommittal: "Mrs. Wan, if you don't dislike it, please go back to Snow Ridge City with me first, and then I will send someone to inform Third Master Wan to come and pick you up, how about it?"
This woman is the owner of a million-dollar bounty, Shen Lian naturally can't let her go easily, and he suddenly became confused.
Liu Ruyi said with a smile: "But it depends on the arrangement of the father-in-law." ”
"Bewitching Liu Ruyi succeeded, gaining 1 Bewitchment Value. ”
Subsequently, Shen Lian set fire to the bandit village, wrapped Guan Chao's head with the banner of the cottage, and then left with Liu Ruyi and a few maids.
All the way to the exit of the canyon, I saw the corpse of a bandit.
Not far away, dozens of bandits knelt on the ground, tied hand and foot with a straw rope.
Bai Li Fei and Sun Yuanxiang were talking and laughing.
"Second Elder. Shen Lian walked over with a smile.
Baili Fei laughed and said, "I know that your kid will definitely succeed!"
Sun Yuanxiang also smiled: "Our two old guys expected that the master of Dinglian would kill all directions, and scared a group of thieves to fart, so they were specially blocked here, and sure enough, they caught a lot of fish that slipped through the net." ”
The second elder glanced at Liu Ruyi and the other women, Shen Lian sighed and told the matter.
The second elder couldn't help sighing.
Everyone returned to the city, and the second elder escorted the thieves to the yamen, and Shen Lian took Liu Ruyi and others back to the house directly, arranged for them to live on Erniang's side, and sent someone to send Liu Ruyi's handwritten letter to Wanjia in Ronghua City.
After that, he went to the account office and ordered a batch of aged wine and Chinese medicinal herbs suitable for soaking in wine.
There has not yet been medicinal wine in this world, and from the memories of his previous life, he searched his stomach and remembered the recipe of some medicinal wine.
For example, there are schisandra wine, Bazhen wine, Shiquan tonic wine, ginseng wine, wolfberry wine, etc., and aphrodisiac type, there are many whip aphrodisiac wine, epimedium wine, green pine age wine, lamb tonic wine, turtle age set wine, ginseng wine, seal kidney wine, etc.
These are all energetic medicinal wines!
Back in his room, Shen Lian let out a long breath of turbidity, lay down, and closed his eyes.
I slept until dawn, and when I got up the next day, the news of the Chilin Ridge bandits and the ambush had spread all over Snow Ridge City.
However, the credit was all on Sun Yuanxiang, and Shen Lian didn't want to expose the secret that he was a Gu Master for the time being.
Cuilan came to report: "Uncle Sun killed the thief Guan Chao, the master was very happy, and held a family banquet for Uncle Sun." ”
The Shen family has a tradition.
Usually they eat their own meals, but every ten days, a large family inevitably gathers together.
This is the Seder.
In the eyes of the ancestors of the Shen family, this is a good way to enhance the relationship between family members.
The Shen family has inherited and adhered to this tradition for generations.
Up to now, the Shen family is flourishing, and there are more than 30 people in the clan alone, and every time they hold a family banquet, they have to open three tables to sit down.
Shen Wanquan held a family banquet for Uncle Sun, obviously treating him as his own family.
Before I knew it, evening had arrived.
"Lian Gongzi, the family banquet is about to begin. ”
Cuilan knocked on the door and reminded her.
Today, the family feast day is more special.
Shen Wanquan really did it in a big way, and even called the people of the side branch tribe over, which was very grand.
"Got it, you go first, and I'll be there later. Shen Lian shouted in the room.
"Yes. ”
After Cuilan won, she went first.
After a while, Shen Lian opened the door and sighed, "Simply giving an order really doesn't work." ”
During this time, Shen Lian practiced martial arts desperately, frantically improving his combat effectiveness, and striving to gain the power of self-preservation in this crisis-ridden world, so he fell in terms of obtaining bewitchment points.
Now that the rain swordsmanship has been completed, he hurriedly adjusted the direction of his cultivation and put his focus back on demagoguery.
After all, the path he was going to take was not the path of a martial artist.
accidentally discovered, for example, that when he bewitched Cuilan to take the first step, he didn't get bewitchment points.
That is, obeying his commands is not within the scope of demagoguery.
"Complete obedience will not bring me bewitchment points, if I want to get bewitchment points from a loyal servant girl like Cuilan, I have to bewitch her to rebel. ”
Such a thought made him can't help but shake his head, and walked slowly towards the Huxin Tower.
The Shen family occupies a huge area, and there is a lake at home.
In the middle of the lake, a four-cornered tower was built, carved beams and painted buildings, and nine loops were built, and you had to take a small boat to get there.
Every family banquet is held in the Huxin Building.
Shen Lian gradually walked to the lake, and in the distance, his eyes passed through a swaying bamboo forest, and he saw two familiar figures, which were his two adult brothers, Shen Fang and Shen Zhan.
They were standing on the shore waiting for the boat to come by, chatting about something, and for some reason, both of them looked a little annoyed.
"Got a contradiction?" Shen Lian frowned slightly, and quietly leaned over to whisper.
"Second brother, you're right, Dad is too partial.
Why can Shen Lian that guy spend 100,000 taels a month, and the two of us only have 1,000 taels of pocket money a month.
It's so unfair!"
Shen Zhan was angry, his eyes flashing with thick anger.
Shen Fang nodded, also filled with righteous indignation, and said angrily: "My mother said that in the past two months, Shen Lian has spent 200,000 taels directly!"
200,000 taels!
In addition, he also asked the account office to buy him fine iron, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, bird's nest and other great supplements, and ate and drank every day.
His expenses alone are ten times more than all the other Shen family children combined, which is equivalent to the sum of the monthly money of the five mothers and relatives for three years.
Even if our Shen family has mountains of gold and silver, it is not enough for him to be defeated like this.
As for us, we have 1,000 taels of pocket money a month, and we are embarrassed to go to Zuihualou to listen to Li Chengcheng play music. ”
