Section 92 Relationships

If you don't look at the large black birthmarks on Xiaohe's face, just the well-defined chin, and the slightly plump lips, they exude temptation all the time. She knew very well www.biquge.info her uncle Xiang Guang was not angry, so she took a few steps forward, sat on the side of the chair, and said in a coquettish tone peculiar to a little girl: "Actually, he is not at fault in this matter. If it weren't for Lu Hongzhi's provocation, Yang Tianhong would not have burst out and hurt people and cut off his arms in anger. ”

"Why, he just invited you to eat breakfast for more than a month, and he bought you so easily?"

King Changle narrowed his eyes and looked at his niece with a smile: "Then again, this kid is indeed very interesting. With your ugly appearance that you have to retreat when you see a ghost, he doesn't have the slightest disgust, and he remembers to bring you something to eat every day. Up and down in this country, no one knows your identity except for the old guy who sacrificed wine. Your father also strictly blocked news in the palace, and it is impossible for Yang Tianhong to know that you are the princess of the dynasty. But he still treats you as a friend...... Hehe! It's interesting to think about this kind of thing. It is said that people should not be judged by their appearance, and it was only in this kid that this king really saw the beauty of this sentence. ”

Without waiting for Xiaohe to speak, King Changle continued: "Lu Hongzhi is just a waste scum. I have seen Yang Qiurong's girl, she is indeed a flower and a moon, and I don't know what virtues Yang Jing has accumulated in her previous life, and she can actually give birth to such a beautiful daughter. If the Lu family can really marry this girl, it will also be the creation of the Lu family. The problem is that Yang Qiurong is not willing to marry at all, and Yang Tianhong doesn't look down on Lu Hongzhi's wretchedness. It's just that Lu Hongzhi, a fool, wants to enter the country and find Yang Qiurong to talk nonsense. If it were me, I would have drawn a knife and cut people. ”

Xiaohe heard the meaning of Xiang Guang's words, his worried heart slowly fell, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, uncle, you should help him even more." ”

King Changle leaned back. His eyes looked at Xiaohe deeply: "It's still the same question from before." How do you want me to help?"

Xiaohe was a little puzzled, thought for a moment, and hesitated and said, "Of course...... It was to keep him safe. ”

Xiang Guang's old eyes revealed the light of wisdom that could see through people's hearts. He smiled and said lightly: "Uncle has watched you grow up since you were a child, and your father is busy with court politics. Your mother died young, frail and sick. In my impression, Yang Tianhong is the first man you opened your mouth to intercede. Honestly, do you have any thoughts about him?"

Xiaohe lowered his head, stopped talking, and wrung his handkerchief with both hands, and a blush soon appeared on the white and tender neck shrouded in black birthmarks.

"My daughter's parents are older, and they really have more thoughts. ”

Xiang Guang, the king of Changle, sighed and stood up from the chair. After pacing back and forth a few steps, looking up at the sky in the distance, he said slowly, "I won't help him." The things he provoked can only be solved by himself. ”

Xiaohe was a little stunned, she walked behind Xiang Guang and asked incomprehensibly, "Why?"

Xiang Guang turned around, and the old man's face was full of love: "I can't see if Yang Tianhong likes you." Although he is relatively close to you, everything is still at the stage of ordinary friends. Of course. If you can marry the Quang Binh Houfu, it will be a good thing. With Yang Tianhong's family background and ability. Totally worthy of you, and your father will not object to it. The problem is that he doesn't know that you are the princess of Chu. Think about it, a civilian woman with an ordinary identity is so ugly, what man in the world would really like it? That's it. Talking about marriage...... Difficult. ”

Xiang Guang still didn't say a word: If it is a woman with a prominent identity and a gorgeous appearance, men in the world will rush to fight for it. That kind of man, Xiaohe doesn't look down on him at all.

Xiaohe stopped talking, and his eyes were full of disappointment. There are also thoughts.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about Yang Tianhong's kid. ”

King Changle saw his niece's thoughts and said with relief: "Although he is impulsive, he is very shrewd. Do you think that slashing Lu Hongzhi was just a moment of anger for him? This king doesn't think so. It's just that I don't see his purpose in doing this. Perhaps, he was trying to seek some advantage. Or, what do you want to get?"

......

At Yang Tianhong's insistence, Cui Ji had no choice but to arrange a carriage, load the Yang family sisters and brothers and Lu Hongzhi into it, and leave Guozijian through the side gate of the back mountain.

The carriage drove straight into the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion. Yang Dashan, Yang Dahai and several other guards surrounded them, and according to Yang Tianhong's instructions, they set up a set of tables and chairs in the living room, and tied Lu Hongzhi firmly to the pillar in the corner of the living room with ropes.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was time to hold the lamp.

The old servant Yang Dashan hurriedly walked into the living room and reported: "Young master, the people of the Lu family are here." ”

Yang Tianhong smiled and looked at his sister Yang Qiurong who was sitting on the side, turned his eyes back to Yang Dashan, and said in a calm tone: "Open the door and welcome guests." ”

In front of the gate of the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion, several richly decorated carriages were parked. More than a dozen people got out of the car, led by an old man with half-white hair and meticulous dress. His beard was short and neatly groomed. The old man had a formulaic smile on his face and looked extraordinary. The entourage next to him included maids and armed bodyguards with strong bodies.

The old man followed Yang Dashan into the living room and saw Lu Hongzhi tied to a pillar. The lights in the living room were bright, and Lu Hongzhi, who was dying, suddenly became excited, and kept shouting at the old man: "Dad, help me, help me!"

The corner of the old man's eyes twitched, and he walked over quickly, his smiling face sank instantly, and his hands gently stroked the wound of Lu Hongzhi's broken arm, his eyes were full of fierceness and hideousness.

All of these appeared in a position with their backs to Yang Tianhong.

In a moment, the old man had already readjusted his mentality, took a deep breath, and a faint smile returned to his face again. He turned, walked over to the table, pulled out his chair, and sat down.

At such a close distance, the old man saw Yang Qiurong's beautiful face. In an instant, the old man lost his mind slightly, and he recovered in less than two seconds. He stared into Yang Qiurong's eyes, bowed slightly, and asked with a smile: "Presumably this is the eldest lady of the Yang family, the female disciple of the Qingling Sect, Yang Qiurong?"

Despite already knowing the identity of the other party. Yang Qiurong still asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The old man was not angry at all. His speech and demeanor are impeccable, and even the look in his eyes is just an appreciation for Yang Qiurong. He smiled and said, "My name is Lu Baoye, and I am an old friend of your father, and I am also the father of the bastard who was tied to a pillar. ”

didn't wait for Yang Qiurong to speak. The old man had already shifted his focus to Yang Tianhong on the opposite side. He glanced at the tea bowl on the table, and asked with interest, "What, are you waiting for someone?"

Obviously, here, Yang Tianhong is the real main speaker. It's important to distinguish this.

Yang Tianhong said lightly: "I'm waiting for you." ”

The smile on Lu Baoye's face became thicker: "Do you know I'm coming?"

Yang Tianhong's voice was very calm: "You will definitely come." ”

Lu Baoye asked, "Why?"

Yang Tianhong said: "If you don't come, your bastard son will die." ”

After a pause, Yang Tianhong continued: "The word bastard was said by yourself just now. I'm just borrowing it. ”

A blatant provocation that is simply non-negotiable.

Lu Baoye felt a violent flame suddenly rise in his body that wanted to kill. However, his cultivation is excellent. Years of experience in business have also allowed him to train the special ability of Mount Tai to collapse in front of him without changing his color. He clenched his fists tightly under the table, but his face was full of a warm smile: "Young man, if you say such things, you have to divide the object. My son is a jerk, but his surname is Lu after all. Don't you think it's a joke to shout and kill at a young age?"

Yang Tianhong's attitude is still indifferent: "I like to do things forever." For troubles, the sooner you fix them, the better. ”

Lu Baoye stared at his eyes, and his smile gradually retracted: "Then you go and kill it! Presumably, you also have the intention of killing chickens to show monkeys. ”

As he spoke, Lu Baoye untied the short knife he was carrying. "Bang" was thrown on the table, sneering and sneering: "I can lend you the knife." Hurry up. ”

Lu Hongzhi was not far from the table and could hear the conversation here. Every word that came out of Lu Baoye's mouth made him extremely frightened, as if he had heard the most terrifying soul seduction sound in the world. He shook his body desperately, but he couldn't break free from the chains that bound him. I could only scream repeatedly: "Don't kill me! Dad, you can't kill me." Quick, put the knife away. The people of the Yang family are all crazy, they, they will kill me!"

Yang Tianhong turned a deaf ear to Lu Hongzhi's pleas. Slowly picked up the porcelain pot, poured a cup of tea for Lu Baoye, and said calmly: "Your son will definitely die, but not now." Aren't your Lu family going to marry my sister? Then go back and prepare as soon as possible, and when the time comes, you will have a happy event. ”

Lu Baoye stopped smiling. The wrinkles on his face were tightly clustered, but he couldn't guess the meaning of Yang Tianhong's words, so he had to be patient and listen honestly.

"This family business was ordered by my father, and my sister is also the future daughter-in-law of your Lu family. ”

"Master Lu, you must have heard that I was favored by the immortal master and joined the Guiyuan Sect, right? I calculated a hexagram at noon today, and the hexagram shows that as long as my sister enters your Lu family, from now on, the Lu family will never have any peaceful birthdays. ”

"Your son Lu Hongzhi's physique is weak, even if he takes medicine such as tiger whip ginseng, it may not improve. I don't know the geometry of your Lu family's mouth, but this vein of yours must be cut off in Lu Hongzhi. I didn't mean to scare you, that's what the hexagram says. Your son will be plagued by disasters in the next few years, and will be plagued by broken feet, tongues, ears, and eyes. Your Lu family's business will inevitably be affected. I almost forgot, the hexagram also shows that there is a thousand-year-old turtle buried under your Lu family's mansion. It just fell asleep, and the day after my sister passed through the door, the turtle would wake up. If you turn over, your Lu family will be destroyed and razed to the ground. Tut-tut...... I have been studying divination in the mountains for five years, and it is the first time I have seen such a tragic and fierce hexagram. Master Lu, you must pay attention, you must not die!"

Lu Baoye's eyes released a cold light, staring at Yang Tianhong, who was talking and laughing.

This is a threat.

What kind of hellish hexagram? That is just to show the attitude of the Yang family siblings. They didn't admit this family affair at all, if the Lu family insisted on using force, then Yang Tianhong would also blatantly retaliate against the Lu family. Lu Hongzhi is just an ordinary person, and as Yang Qiurong's wife, it is too easy to drug his usual diet or get some small means. In a word. Crippled, crippled, crippled, just won't kill you alive. Doesn't your Lu family have to marry me? Then I will let your family ruin and the whole family die.

Yang Tianhong's ghost-like voice continued: "That hexagram is really strange. Master Lu, the well in your yard is connected to a snake's nest in the field outside. Firecrackers will scare the snake out of its nest. They will vomit poison in the well, and the Lu family will be poisoned up and down. Not necessarily dead, but quite a few people will certainly become insane. Be careful!

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Baoye's eyes twitched violently. He instinctively tried to pick up the teacup to hide his feelings, but he knocked over the cup, leaving the table full of water.

He took out a handkerchief, slowly wiped his wrinkled hands, stared at Yang Tianhong, and asked, "It is indeed an extremely fierce hexagram." Virtuous nephew, since you are proficient in divination. Then you must know how to resolve it, right?"

"Of course!"

Yang Tianhong leaned back and said with a smile: "To welcome relatives, we must set off firecrackers and play joy." The noisy sound will wake up the thousand-year-old turtle under the Lu family's house and disturb the snake's nest connected to the well. In fact, this kind of thing is easy to solve, and there is no family matter. Without frolicking and noise, everything naturally becomes peaceful. There are two sides to everything. Knowing that doing this kind of thing will bring disaster to yourself, then you should never do it. If it must be forced, then retribution and calamity will naturally continue one after another. ”

Lu Baoye wrung his hands vigorously and said lightly: "It seems that the Yang family has no intention of marrying my Lu family. But don't forget. Your father made this fate. People are dead, and if you say it, I'm afraid that your Yang family will not be able to get over the face, and it will cause gossip in vain. ”

Yang Tianhong wiped his face and said with a smile: "I never wash my face when I get up in the morning, so my face is black." As for gossip...... Hehe! I forgot to mention it just now. The hexagram also shows that the rumors and rumors still seem to have some kind of mysterious connection with your Lu family. If someone outside says something unfavorable to the Yang family, the retribution will eventually fall on the Lu family. Pulling out the tongue is really miserable, and few people can stand it. ”

Lu Baoye glanced at Yang Qiurong, who was sitting next to him. She is really beautiful, and the dress on her body can't cover her hot body at all.

There are many beautiful women in this world. But there are very few women who are so beautiful and a monk.

Thinking of this, Lu Baoye sighed and said seriously: "Virtuous nephew, my Lu family attaches great importance to this family matter. Otherwise, you would not have agreed to your father's many conditions back then and got engaged early. I know that my son has a bad character, but the old man can guarantee that if he can marry your sister Qiurong, my son will definitely change his ways. I hope you give him a chance. ”

Yang Tianhong opened his mouth and did not speak.

Lu Baoye spoke very sincerely, so it was not good for him to continue to speak ill of each other. In the final analysis, whether to marry or not, the initiative actually lies with the sister.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Yang Qiurong with an inquiring gaze.

"Needless to say, I will never marry Lu Hongzhi!" Yang Qiurong's attitude was very resolute. If it weren't for this dispute in the Guozi Prison, maybe she would have had a little contact with the Lu family in front of her deceased father. Now, she doesn't even have the mood to look at Lu Hongzhi more, let alone marry into the Lu family. What's the difference between doing that and jumping into a fire pit?

Lu Baoye frowned, his gaze moving back and forth on the Yang family's siblings.

It was not Lu Baoye's idea to marry the Yang family, but the hussar general Yang Jing's wife Xu Shi first proposed it.

The Xu family is also a wealthy businessman. The Lu and Xu families have dealings in many businesses. Lu Hongzhi is the only son of Lu Baoye, and with the financial resources of the Lu family, he simply does not look down on the hussar general Yi Yong to wait for Yang Jing. Even if you marry, the other party should at least be the daughter of the prince, or the queen of the prince.

At that time, the Xu family controlled a very important source of goods, and the hussar general Yang Jing made outstanding military achievements. According to this person's experience and achievements, at most ten years, he can be awarded the title of Duke of the country by virtue of his military exploits. Perhaps, you can also get the grand grace of the king of the opposite sex. After all, Emperor Shunming is a promising monarch and never stingy with rewarding his subordinate courtiers.

More importantly, at that time, Yang Jing was stationed at the border pass, and although Rong Di repeatedly invaded the Chu State, the northern frontier was still the most important place to raise horses. From south to north, long-distance horse trafficking is a huge profit. As long as this kind of business is done a few times, the strength of the Lu family can be doubled.

But who would have thought that the hussar general Yang Jing would die in battle at the border pass. Everything that had been planned before lost its meaning. It is in the nature of businessmen to seek profit. When Yang Jing was alive, Lu Baoye also had the idea of bringing his original formula, that is, the biological mother of the Yang family's sisters and brothers, back to the Lu family to support him under the pretext that Yang Jing had been unable to take care of his family at the border for a long time. As soon as Yang Jing died, the Lu family showed remorse for this family affair, and naturally there was nothing to do, let alone the two families.

Back then, the Lu family took out a lot of silver for Yang Jing to spend at the border pass, and various military supplies were also allocated in large quantities. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Yang Jing was able to win consecutive battles at the border was inseparable from the strong assistance given by the Lu family at that time. However, businessmen are also realistic. As soon as Yang Jing died, the Lu family suddenly scolded endlessly, and they all thought that they had done a loss-making business. Not to mention that the investment for many years has not been recovered, and he has married the powerless Yang family in vain. (To be continued.) )
