In late autumn, the sky is high and cool, the temperature is more suitable, and the warm sun is very comfortable

In the castle lord's mansion in the border county

I saw a handsome woman in a fiery red gown practicing swords in the backyard, this woman was twenty-eight years old, about one meter seventy-five tall, her face revealed a faint reddish pink, the long eyelashes fluttering under the willow leaf-like eyebrows gave people a vivid feeling, and a pair of eyes were extremely flexible, and you could find the flickering color of perseverance when you looked closely at the depths;

Sitting in the gazebo on the side is a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old, with a square face, a yellow robe on his body to add to the nobility, and his body exudes a domineering atmosphere in a high position.

This middle-aged man is Jiang Limeng, the city lord of this county, and the handsome woman who dances the sword is his only daughter Jiang Shanshan, because his wife died of illness six years ago, so he loves this only daughter even more.

After Jiang Shanshan finished practicing her sword, she came to Jiang Limeng's side and asked, "Father, how do you see my sword practice?"

Jiang Limeng said with a smile: "The sword is a weapon for self-preservation and killing, your sword is more than self-preservation, but when you fight with others, it is a little less aggressive, and your daughter's family, she has not learned anything else since she was a child, but she likes to dance with knives and guns."

Jiang Shanshan pursed her lips after hearing this, and then her eyes showed a look of yearning, "My daughter practices martial arts, she wants to become a master like her father and control her own destiny, so she doesn't want to become a woman who only knows how to stay in the boudoir and wait to be married." ”

Jiang Limeng shook his head with a smile after hearing this, his eyes showed a doting look, and he just wanted to speak, but he saw the housekeeper in the house coming in a hurry, "My lord, Wang Li, a disciple of the Wang family, is waiting outside the door now."

"Oh, lead him to the main hall first," Jiang Limeng glanced at Jiang Shanshan, who was pouting and heard that it was Wang Li, and then said.

The housekeeper responded, and Jiang Shanshan suddenly let out a "hum" from his mouth, "I didn't expect him to chase him here from Luojing City, he really didn't give up."

Jiang Limeng smiled when he heard this: "Wang Li is also a direct descendant of the Wang family, plus he is only eighteen years old and has reached the middle stage of congenital cultivation, and he has high hopes from the Wang family, you might as well consider it." ”

"Father, don't you know, everyone in Luo Jingcheng knows that this person is a womanizer, and he is ruthless, and his daughter should not have anything to do with this person if she dies" Jiang Shanshan showed disgust in her eyes, gritted her teeth and said.

Jiang Limeng saw his daughter like this, so he comforted: "Don't worry, as long as you don't want to, your father won't force you, let's go, it's always okay to meet with your father."

Jiang Shanshan nodded helplessly and walked towards the main hall with her father.

Wang Li, who was waiting in the hall, had a lot of thoughts, a few days ago when the ancestors of the Wang family celebrated their birthdays, he went to the Wang family with the head of the family to congratulate him, and he was fortunate to see Jiang Shanshan, and was immediately attracted by her beauty, and secretly made up his mind to get her into his hands, and then launched a pursuit, but Jiang Shanshan was not moved by it, and urged his father to return home as soon as possible, but Wang Li did not give up, and he chased after him thousands of miles after inquiring.

Hearing the footsteps outside the hall, Wang Li then got up and saw the father and daughter of the Jiang family coming, looking at Jiang Shanshan with both eyes, showing fiery intent in the depths of his eyes, he bent down and saluted: "Wang Li has seen the Jiang City Lord"

Jiang Limeng nodded and said with a smile: "Wang Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, come, sit down and talk"

Yi Lin traveled for about half an hour before he arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and was surprised to see the carriage parked next to him, and he didn't think much about it, and walked towards the two guards at the door.

"The two eldest brothers, in Xia Yilin, come here to meet the city lord, please pass it on"

The two guards glanced at Yi Lin, then at each other, and one of them said, "Your Excellency the City Lord is visiting now, if there is nothing important, you will wait here for a while." ”

Hearing this, Yi Lin frowned slightly, and then thought for a moment and replied: "Please pass the word to the city lord, just say that I am here to visit because I was entrusted by Jiang Geshen's predecessors."

Hearing that it was entrusted by the Jiang family, the expressions of the two guards changed slightly, and then one of them said: "Then please wait for a while" and then walked quickly to the inside.

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion

After Wang Li sat down, Jiang Limeng looked at him and asked in a harmonious voice: "Wang Gongzi came thousands of miles away, what is the matter?"

Hearing this, Wang Li glanced at Jiang Shanshan, who was standing beside Jiang Limeng, and then spoke: "Don't hide it from Jiang City Lord, Wang Li came this time because of Jiang Shanshan."

"Hmph" Jiang Shanshan, who heard this, then snorted coldly and did not speak.

Jiang Limeng heard her daughter's cold snort, remembered what she said about Wang Li's character, her smile disappeared, and she said lightly: "Then what does Wang Gongzi want?"

Wang Li didn't care about the change in the attitude of the Jiang family's father and daughter in the hall, the fierce color in the depths of his eyes flashed, and then with a wave of his hand, there was a big black box in the hall, and a jade box was also shown in his hand, and he said: "Wang Li was already in love with Jiang Shanshan when he first saw him, and his grandfather also agreed to this matter, so he came here this time to give a dowry to Jiang City Lord, and there are a thousand taels of gold in the box, and in this jade box is a broken elixir."

After Jiang Limeng heard the Broken Spirit Pill, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at the jade box in Wang Li's hand hotly, now his realm is the peak of the late stage of the Innate Realm, and he has been in this realm for more than ten years, but he has not broken through the realm to condense the Yuan Dan, since his grandfather fell in an unknown place more than 20 years ago, although the news is blocked, but the Breaking Spirit Pill in the family has also lost its source, if he gets a Broken Yuan Pill, then there is a great hope to break through the realm and become the new pillar of the family.

After finishing speaking, Wang Li looked at Jiang Limeng's reflection intently, and saw that his eyes were eager, his heart secretly moved, and he asked without moving: "What is Jiang Cheng's idea?"

Hearing Wang Li's question, Jiang Limeng frowned and looked at Jiang Shanshan on the side, on one side was the pearl in his palm, and on the other side was the opportunity to break through the realm, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he didn't answer for a while.

Jiang Shanshan, who was standing on the side, heard that Wang Li came to propose a dowry this time, and she couldn't hold it back, she looked at Wang Li and said hatefully: "You dream, I won't marry you if I die." ”

Wang Li, who heard this, didn't speak, just looked at Jiang Shanshan and smiled, then picked up the tea on the table and tasted it slowly.

Jiang Shanshan's eyes showed disgust, and she stopped speaking, and the atmosphere in the hall was quiet for a while as Jiang Limeng thought

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and I saw the housekeeper enter the hall and go straight to Jiang Limeng, and then attached to his ear and said: "There is a prince who said that he was entrusted by Jiang Geshen's predecessors to meet the adult."

When Jiang Limeng heard this, his expression changed greatly, and then he asked urgently, "Where is this person now?"

Seeing Jiang Limeng's expression, the housekeeper hurriedly replied: "That son is waiting outside the door now."

Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, Jiang Limeng stepped out of the main hall and hurried towards the door.

Seeing her father's reaction, Jiang Shanshan didn't know why, and then walked to the door, leaving Wang Li alone to taste tea in the hall Wang Li saw this, snorted coldly, and did not get up, but unconsciously a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Jiang Limeng, who came to the door, looked at Yi Lin in a blue robe, and after feeling his cultivation, his eyes froze, and then asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?"

The guards hurriedly saluted when they saw the comer, and the clear Yi Lin swept it away with the Yuan Dan realm that had reached the Yuan Dan realm without anyone noticing, and naturally knew his cultivation, and then saluted with both hands: "In Xia Yilin, dare to ask if the city lord is a member of the Jiang family?"

"I am a disciple of the Jiang family, Yi Gongzi, please come in quickly, we will talk in detail in the palace" Before Yi Lin finished speaking, Jiang Limeng interrupted his words, and then said with deep meaning in his eyes.

Yi Lin saw his eyes, naturally understood, and then followed him towards the door.

Jiang Shanshan, who had just arrived at the door, saw that her father was leading Yi Lin over, and couldn't help but look at Yi Lin, her steady temperament made her eyes brighten, and she was full of confidence and perseverance, especially the sunny smile on her face gave people a good impression, and she didn't know how many times stronger than Wang Li, and she couldn't help but forget to lift her steps and stay still.

Jiang Limeng saw his daughter, and then instructed him: "Shanshan, you take Yi Gongzi to my study first" "Yi Gongzi, please follow the little girl to the study first"

Jiang Shanshan, who was awakened by her father's words, suddenly rose with a red glow on her face, snorted secretly, and then beckoned Yi Lin, "Young Master Yi, please come with Shanshan"

As soon as Yi Lin saw Jiang Shanshan at first glance, he was really amazed by her handsome appearance, and then said, "Then there is Miss Lao."

Jiang Limeng returned to the main hall, looked at Wang Li who was drinking tea, and then said: "Wang Gongzi, the little girl's lifelong events still need to be discussed with him, so let's do it, if Wang Gongzi doesn't think this place is simple, you can stay here for a while, and I will definitely give Gongzi the answer tomorrow."

Hearing this, Wang Li thought for a moment, and then replied: "Since this is the case, Wang Li will obey the arrangement of the Jiang City Lord."

Jiang Limeng saw his promise, smiled on his face, and then waved his hand to call the housekeeper and instructed: "Arrange a quiet room for the prince, but if you have any needs, you can meet them." ”

Looking at Wang Li, who was following the housekeeper, Jiang Limeng looked solemn, and then walked straight to the study
