Chapter Twenty-Seven: I Want Them All
rested in Yellowstone City for two days, during which Miss Liu also helped Xiao Lin Yan find his family, but this was originally a temporary nonsense, so naturally there was no result.
Because Miss Liu and her entourage had urgent matters to go to Gaoyang County, they couldn't stay here for a long time, and Xiao Lin Yan said that he vaguely remembered that his family seemed to live in that direction, so he took him on the road for the time being to see if he could find his family or something.
Miss Liu's real name is Liu Ying, and the four or five-year-old girl is her younger sister, called Liu Yan. It is said that the two sisters are from the Liu family in Gaoyang County and are quite influential in the local area.
The reason why they hurried back this time was because the current head of the Liu family, that is, their father, suddenly fell seriously ill, and after receiving information from the family, the two rushed to Gaoyang County non-stop.
Of course, this trip was not only for the two of them weak women, but also with a housekeeper, they called him "Uncle Qi", this old man has a restrained atmosphere, and he seems to be a hidden master. There were also a dozen or so family members, also armed with them, who marched with them.
Their father is the second oldest in the Liu family, and his martial arts strategies are average, which is strange to say, when the head of the family inherited, the ancestors did not choose the strong boss, nor did they choose the third who was good at strategy, but chose the second child who was only a middle-class talent, saying that it was because he was old and heavy, and he could keep the family business.
However, later, the second daughter-in-law gave birth to two daughters in a row, that is, the two sisters Liu Ying and Liu Yan, and they have no successors, after all, where is there a woman's share in this kind of family inheritance in the Tang Kingdom?
This situation is a godsend for the eldest and third, and their forces are also beginning to move, and this time their father's sudden serious illness must have something to do with them. So Liu Ying is also more anxious.
Originally, the ancestor supported his father, but he also had to think about the survival of the family. Originally, it was planned to let Liu Ying marry another wealthy family in Gaoyang County, the Gao family, in order to stabilize the family's position, but since then, the two families have joined forces, and maybe they can go to the next level.
But the second child doted on his daughter, so he didn't agree to this matter, and in order to prevent trouble, he sent the two daughters to Yulan City, which was far away from here.
This is also the reason why the two lines of the eldest and the third are becoming more and more unscrupulous.
As for this folding fan young man, he is the second son of the Jia family in Huangshi City, named Jia Zheng, this Jia family is also the number one family in Huangshi City, and this guy is a second ancestor who is idle all day long, relying on a good tire, plus giving birth to a good face, and flirting with the little girl all day long.
The key is that there is really that kind of ignorant girl who has not been deeply involved in the world fell for him, lost her innocence and was ruthlessly abandoned by him.
And he himself disagrees with this, calling himself the "holy hand in flowers", following the principle of "ten thousand flowers in the bush, not a leaf sticks to the body", of course, his "not sticky" refers to not letting the other party stick to him after playing with the girl's feelings.
Ever since Liu Ying and his party passed by Yellowstone City and were seen by him, he was shocked at a glance, how could he easily let this kind of stunning color slip away from his eyes.
Because Liu Ying and his entourage wanted to rest in Yellowstone City and replenish supplies, Jia Zheng launched a crazy pursuit of it, and later moved directly into the inn in order to get the moon near the water, but unfortunately with little success.
After inquiring about the destination of Liu Ying and his party, he cheekily followed him.
The burly man was almost the same, he was the son of the City Lord's Mansion of Yulan City, called Luo Lie. After Liu Ying moved to Yulan City, she has always been obsessed with her, and this time she heard that the latter was going to Gaoyang County, so she volunteered to accompany her and take on the role of a guard.
Liu Ying knew that she didn't know the way home this time, and Luo Lie was also a powerful martial artist, so she didn't refuse.
After leaving Yellowstone, everyone walked on the wide official road. Along the way, the two sisters of the Liu family sat in the carriage, while the housekeeper Uncle Qi sat on the edge of the carriage, staring at the car in a daze.
followed by a group of family members, on both sides of the carriage were Luo Lie and Jia Zheng, while acting as guards, they also chatted with Liu Ying from time to time, and they didn't seem too boring along the way.
And Xiao Lin Yan is still riding his little donkey, and he can serve this fool well in the past two days, so that he can say that he will let him ride, but the speed is slower.
Because of the carriage and the family in the back, the travel speed is not very fast, so Xiao Lin Yan can barely keep up.
"Come, Xiaoyan, come here!" Liu Ying opened the curtain of the carriage and waved at Xiao Lin Yan.
The latter rode the little donkey and moved over slowly, "sweetly" and shouted: "Sister Liu!"
Qiu Lao's disgusting voice sounded in his heart, this kid is too capable of pretending to be tender, although he is not very old, but his mind is very mature. also deliberately pretended to be innocent, which is really unbearable!
Even the little donkey under him shook his head, his squinted eyes full of disdain.
Xiao Lin Yan doesn't care about this, when you go out, safety is the most important thing, what's wrong with pretending to be tender, I'm already very tender!
Seeing Xiao Lin Yan riding his little donkey closer, the yin owl in Jia Zheng's eyes flashed away, and then said "kindly": "Brother Xiao Yan, your mount is quite individual!"
Xiao Lin Yan glanced at him obliquely, ignoring him.
Jia Zhenggang wanted to have a seizure, but after thinking about it, he endured it again, and said with a twist: "I heard that you are from Gaoyang County?" But as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a single surname Lin in the local big family? ”
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Lin Yan defiantly, and said in his heart, even you, a poor sour boy, don't know how to make Miss Liuying's blue eyes add up. Dare to be unreasonable to me before, see how I expose your lies.
He is a person who must be revenged, although he doesn't think that Lin Yan, a little boy, can pose any threat to him to hold a beauty, but it's just that this kid's unreasonable attitude towards himself before is punished!
Xiao Lin Yan still didn't pay attention to him.
At this time, Liu Ying's gentle voice came: "I don't know if there is a big family surnamed Lin in Gaoyang County, but maybe it is an emerging family?" After all, I haven't been back for years. Besides, I didn't help him because of his family, it was completely because of his difficult casual behavior, so what does it matter if he was born into a big family or not? You say yes, Jia Gongzi? ”
Jia Zheng's face stiffened slightly, and then he returned to his "warm" face, shook the folding fan lightly and said, "Miss Liu is right, I think so too."
Liu Ying smiled slightly, and did not continue to mention this topic, chatting with Xiao Lin Yan about some trivial things, and from time to time let out a burst of laughter like silver bells.
Jia Zheng watched the blue tendons on his forehead on the side, and his knuckles were pinched white by him, and he had a good chat with Miss Liu, this kid had to come over and intervene. Could this dead poor sour be his nemesis, and he has to come against himself?
The team is still marching, the territory of the Tang State is vast, and the roads cannot be all wide official roads. On this day, the people came to the bottom of a mountain.
This mountain is called Qingniu Mountain, it is not too high, but the strange rocks around it are craggy, the mountain road is rugged, and it is not easy to walk.
It is said that there is a group of bandits entrenched on this mountain, but they are also rude men, most of whom do not know any martial arts, and these people are also forced by life to fall into the grass.
Usually, it collects a little toll, which never hurts people's lives, and Liu Ying and his party are more anxious, so they can save a lot of time by passing through here. Thinking that the strength of the people on his side is not weak, it is a big deal to give them some tolls, so I didn't care too much.
"Uncle Qi, if a thief comes out later, just give them some money. It's a bit of a hard worker, so let's just get through it quickly and don't have to clash with them. Liu Ying said to the old man who was driving the car.
"Yes, Miss!" Qi Lao replied lightly.
"Miss Liu, don't worry, with me, it will be absolutely fine!" Luo Lielang on the side laughed.
"That's right, Miss Liu, just a thief, if they dare to come, see if I don't kill them and leave no piece of armor!" Jia Zheng put away the folding fan in his hand, put one hand on the long sword at his waist, and said.
"I believe that Luo Gongzi and Jia Gongzi have this strength, but our purpose is just to pass here, and it doesn't hurt to give them some money! Don't waste time! Liu Ying persuaded.
Luo Lie smiled and nodded, and Jia Zheng on the side also said: "Miss Liu, don't worry, they know each other best, otherwise, hum!"
Everyone continued to move forward, and suddenly, a sound of horses' hooves sounded, smoke and dust filled the air, and a group of people appeared not far in front of everyone.
When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, everyone looked at it and saw a team of masked men blocking everyone's way, and there were almost thirty people at a cursory glance.
Immediately afterwards, with the masked man at the head of the look, a horse next to him slowly drove out, and shouted the classic line at Liu Ying and his party: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road money!"
Everyone here was speechless for a while, it seems that this is the legendary bandit here, what age is it, and it is still so old-fashioned, there is really nothing new.
Liu Ying's voice came from inside the carriage: "Uncle Qi!"
The old man who drove the car agreed, then took out a bag of silver from his bosom, and instructed a servant to bring it to the bandit opposite.
The led thief took the silver sent by the family, shook it lightly in his hand, and said in his heart: "Yo! That's a lot! ”
Uncle Qi's voice sounded on the other side: "Big boss, the silver is given to you, please get out of the way!"
The led thief took the silver into his arms, looked in the direction of Qi Lao and his party, his eyes were full of playfulness, and said, "It's a woman sitting in this carriage, right?" Let's stay too! ”
Uncle Qi's face changed when he heard this, and he said coldly: "The big boss, when you come out to mix the rivers and lakes, you have to talk about the rules, the silver has been given to you, don't get an inch!"
Luo Lie and Jia Zheng on the side also glared angrily, aren't these thieves crazy? How dare you be so ignorant!
The bandit laughed when he heard this, and then raised his hand and killed the life of the man who went to deliver the money, and then licked the blood on the blade, and said with a cruel smile: "Today, I want silver, and I want people!"
