Chapter 147: The Shadow Returns
Wang Chunrong is two years older than Chuntao, he is seventeen this year, and he has also reached the age of marriage. According to the rules, it is natural to arrange the big ones first and then the small ones.
Wang Chunrong and his father were unjustly imprisoned after the family affairs were also yellow, Zheng has been looking for him since his son came out, and he wants to pick a daughter from a good family, but he has not yet been found. Wang Chunrong himself is not in a hurry, the experience of more than two years has made him mature a lot, and he thinks about many things thoroughly, and the things of fate cannot be sought.
It's not that he doesn't want to get married, but he wants to find a wife like his mother and sister, gentle and considerate, and when there is trouble at home, he will not only cry, but wipe away his tears and bear it with his family to tide over the wind and rain together.
Lan Yi saw that the topic turned to Wang Chunrong, and she also said: "Father, mother, marrying a daughter-in-law, we can't just pick other people's family background and appearance, the main thing is that people are good, filial piety, and clever." Of course, you have to show your eldest brother that you like it. β
Wang Chunrong didn't expect the little sister to say such a thing, and the wine that did not retreat became a little stronger.
Wang Chengde had a woman's expression and laughed, "Tao'er has really grown up, and she knows how to pick her character and temperament." The wife who got it back for Rong'er can be half as good as you, and your father and mother will be satisfied. β
Zheng squinted at him angrily, "I see that you will marry into the Zhou family with Tao'er!"
Wang Chengde smiled, "This is also a method, when Wei Ji comes over to propose marriage, let's mention it, his parents have died, if he stays here in Meixian, we can take care of it." β
Zhou Weiji would not agree, Beigou Village is his home, Lan Yi also wants to go back to Beigou Village, if only he could take Wang Chengde's family back.
"Dad, why don't we go and beg the old lady and her family to get rid of their slavery status, and our family will go back to Beigou Village to live our lives happily."
Wang Chengde saw that his wife and children were looking at him expectantly, but he still shook his head: "Tao'er, not now." The old lady treats our family well, and now her old man supports the big house, and Young Master Wenxuan is young, how can I go. β
Lan Yi smiled, she naturally knew that her father would not leave, but what he said was "not now", not "not successful", which means that he also has such thoughts, this is easy to do, and it is always good to have hope.
In the shadow of the courtyard wall of Wang Chengde's house, Zhou Weiji stood against the wall, waiting for the blade to appear. Zhou Wei knew this person very well, and since he promised to protect Lan Yi's mother and son, he would not return.
Dao Wufeng really returned at the end of the day, Zhou Weiji hid his figure and watched Dao Wufeng enter the courtyard.
Because Wang Chunrong's strength has not passed, tonight the knife has no edge to guard the first half of the night, and Wang Chunrong guards the second half of the night. After the family rested, Zhou Weiji appeared from the shadows and jumped into the courtyard, Dao Wufeng looked at him calmly, and the two jumped to the roof.
"Congratulations to Zhou Langjiang for finding a good match." Dao Wufeng heard what Wang Chunrong said, Wang Chengde had agreed to Zhou Weiji's relationship with Chun Tao, and he was too late after all.
Under the moonlight, Dao Wufeng's calm and waveless eyes Zhou Weiji could see clearly, the last time he appeared like this, it was when he found that his mother had committed suicide by hanging from a beam.
At that time, Dao Wufeng calmly untied the rope around his mother's neck and buried her peacefully. When everyone thought he was all right, he killed dozens of people in one night, hanging them by the necks of the houses with ropes. The border guard was furious and offered a reward for his arrest, but found that he had lost his trace, and he didn't expect to see him again, but he was here.
"Well, if you are free when you get married, come over and have a glass of wine, our brothers haven't seen each other for a few years, so we should sit down and have a few drinks." Zhou Weiji took his robe and sat on the roof.
Dao Wufeng looked slightly stunned, and also turned around and sat on the roof, and the two sat back to back. This can ensure that the two can observe the movement around them and protect their rear from being attacked by the enemy, which is the common way they sit during the vigil in the military camp, leaning on each other and keeping each other warm, which is the posture that only brothers who live and die together.
"I didn't expect you to really recognize me as a brother." There was a lot of emotion in Dao Wufeng's tone, "Thank you, second brother, I don't know if the yamen will come to arrest me." β
The lights of each house were extinguished one after another, and the stars in the sky appeared brighter, as if they had really returned to the past. Zhou Wei let out a sigh of relief, "Since you came back so calmly, you expected that I wouldn't do this." What should I call you now? Zhao Wufeng, Yelu Wufeng, or Dao Wufeng? β
"I just want to be a blade now." Three surnames, for him there is nostalgia, humiliation, and blood, and now he just wants to live in peace.
Zhou Weiji nodded, "It's good to be able to put it down, the knife has no edge, it's a good name." How could he be arrested and put in Meixian prison? β
Dao Wufeng took a moment, laughed at himself and said, "I have nothing to do, I went around the mountains twice, hunted a beast here to exchange silver, and was arrested for arguing with people." I thought it would be nice to spend a few years in prison, at least to eat, drink, and sleep. Second brother, in the past two years, the court has become more and more popular, and the meals for the prisoners can be regarded as eating. β
If Wang Chunrong heard that Dao Wufeng would also say such a long list of words with a smile, his jaw would definitely drop in shock.
What Dao Wufeng said was the truth, but Zhou Weiji naturally knew that the imperial court was kind to the people, and the criminals should also give them a chance to reform themselves, and they couldn't help but treat them as human beings. But these conditions also have to be made if the families of the prisoners in the prison can afford to pay the silver, and the knife is alone without a blade, where does the silver come from!
But since Dao Wufeng said so, Zhou Weiji also smiled and nodded, "The brothers have been looking for you for a few years, but I didn't expect you to be good, hiding here to find leisure." Rest assured, the guard is dead, and no one will arrest you for what happened back then. β
"Is that ......" Dao Wufeng replied, "How many years has the second brother been back?" β
"Since the defeat of the Khitan and the Jurchens and the submission of the surrender document, there has been no war at the border pass, and the imperial court has issued an order for the prince to enter Beijing to be sealed, and several of us have been unarmed. Wufeng, what do you plan to do in the future? β
Dao Wufeng shook his head, "Brother, I fell in love with this happy day, and it was a day to be able to live one day. I promised Uncle Wang to protect Chuntao's mother and son for him, and I would talk about other things after this matter was resolved. β
Zhou Weiji clenched his fists, and his back stiffened slightly.
Dao Wufeng naturally felt it, he looked down at the tiles on the roof, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, Wufeng is only repaying his kindness now, and has no other intentions." β
Now is it to repay Wang Chengde for saving him from prison? What about before, or did he have other intentions?
How could he not be clear about Dao Wufeng's thoughts.
Zhou Weiji's mind flashed the appearance of his little girl. Her smile is clear, so that she is comfortable to see, and washes away the dirt in her heart; She is obviously a delicate flower that needs to be cared for in the palm of her hand, but she is strong enough to resist the wind and rain by herself, survive the darkness and welcome the rising sun. The little girl's temperament has a great attraction to those of them who have experienced swords and blood, seen purgatory in the world, and relied on alcohol to extricate themselves when they dream back at midnight, and the closer they get to her, the more they want to pull her to their side, hold her in their arms, and feel the warmth.
Fortunately, now the little girl has him in her heart. Zhou Weiji smiled slightly, "Thank you." β
He is now Lan Yi's fiancΓ©, so he naturally has a position to thank him, Dao Wufeng was slightly astringent in his heart, and nodded lightly.
"Second brother, it's not a way to keep it like this, let's find out the details of the other party."
Zhou Weiji said, "The enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is taboo for soldiers to move first, so they must also take action." β
"What is the origin of this Lan family?" Dao Wufeng asked, he went to walk around twice and found that there were many masters of the Lan family.
Zhou Weiji frowned, "It's hard to say, as far as I have been listening to for a few days, the Lan family is not just as simple as it seems." It's just that I don't know why they are eyeing Wen Xuan and Chun Tao. β
The two were silent, and at this moment, a black shadow flashed from a distance, coming towards this side.
Zhou Weiji immediately signaled that the knife was seamless, and the two of them hid in the backlight of the premises. The black shadow cautiously approached the small courtyard of the Wang family, leaning on the wall, and slowly approaching the window.
Zhou Wei jumped down from the floor violently, and the person who hit him was caught off guard, and jumped backwards, this person's kung fu was not weak, he was a foot away, and he turned around to leave but saw another person standing in front of him.
The bladeless reached out and struck him in the front of the heart, and the man was caught off guard, was hit hard, and took a step back. Zhou Weiji's figure had arrived, and he stepped on this person's leg and kicked him to the ground. This person stumbled and pounced, but he shot a few flying knives with his backhand, and went straight to Zhou Weiji's face.
Zhou Wei did not bring a waist knife and dodged. This is the wall mountain and two more figures jumped down, entangled with Zhou Weiji and Dao Wufeng.
Although the kung fu of the people who came was not as good as Zhou Weiji and the others, they were about to be captured, and the black shadows on the ground sent out a few hidden weapons, and they turned over the wall with a whistle, and the two black shadows also sprinkled a handful of powder, and Zhou Weiji and Dao Wufeng had to retreat.
"Second brother, you protect Chun Tao, I'll go!" The knife has no blade and the killing intent suddenly appears, and he is about to chase it.
Zhou Weiji grabbed him, "I'll go!" β
In terms of light skills and tracking, it is true that he is better at it, Dao Wufeng nodded: "Second brother be careful." β
Zhou Weiji nodded and chased after the three black shadows.
Wang Chengde's family naturally heard the sound of fighting, Wang Chunrong and Wang Chengde went out of the house to check, and Lan Yi and Zheng protected the two children in the house.
"Wu Feng, how's it going?"
Dao Wufeng picked up the hidden weapon on the ground, and after careful inspection, he found that it was non-toxic before giving Wang Chengde a hand: "There are three people here, and Brother Tuesday has chased after them." β
Lan Yi heard Zhou Weiji chasing after her, she was anxious, she pushed open the window and said, "Brother Dao, how about the kung fu of the people?" Are you any hurt? β
Dao Wufeng turned around, saw Lan Yi's worried expression, and said softly: "Kung Fu is not weak, but it is not the opponent of the second brother, don't worry." Brother Tuesday didn't want to take them down, but to find out the enemy's traces so that he could make plans, and he would be able to come back soon. β
Wang Chunrong clenched his fists hard and stared at him: "If this person is really Lan Wu, the young master will definitely knock on the door and pick his skin!" βR1152
