The sun is rising.

Step into October.

The sea breeze blowing from the Wei River passed through the port wharf, crossed the wilderness of the mountain village, and blew all the way to Qingyang City.

Wet and cool.

The coldness burrows into the neckline, making people feel a little cold.

Li Qiushi gathered his dress, looked at the young man in the martial arts arena, and smiled with relief on his beautiful face.

Seeing that he had won the merits, she hurriedly took the teacup from the bearing plate held by the maid next to her, and her smile bloomed more and more.

"Wen'er!"

"Mother! How did you get here? ”

Li Qiushi handed over the tea, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to help his son wipe the sweat on his forehead, and looked doting, "Tired, right?" ”

"Don't be tired, this is where to go!"

"Xiaozhong gets up at midnight every day to practice for an hour, finishes work at night, and practices for at least two hours before going to bed!"

"He has only been practicing martial arts for a long time, if he runs forward and calls me Young Master Wen when he meets, the children will be embarrassed to respond."

Li Shangwen said casually and poured a sip of tea.

"Slow down!" Li Qiushi patted his son on the back and said with a smile: "He is a subordinate, you compare with him." ”

Li Shangwen said: "All people are equal, the child's current status is higher than his father is given, if he does not work hard, without the protection of his father in the future, he may not be as good as those ordinary people who work hard, subordinates and even homeless people." ”

Li Qiushi was stunned, "This is also what your Uncle Zhong taught?" ”

Li Shangwen said with a smile: "Uncle taught filial piety, although he is a poor man, if he is diligent and diligent, he can also become a writer, a rich businessman, a general, and a city lord in the future, everything is possible, and the same is true for children." ”

Li Qiu's heart was touched, it was only half a month, and his son was like a different person, he had never gotten up so early to practice before, let alone say such a thing.

She said with a straight face: "Wen'er, Uncle Zhong is willing to teach, you must study hard, and when your father returns, he will also be impressed by you." ”

"I know, the child went to say goodbye to the eldest mother, and there was something to find her."

"Well, go ahead."

Li Shangwen gave a salute, quickly left the martial arts arena, went back to his residence to change his clothes, and went to the courtyard where Li Yang's family was.

"Shang Wen greets his mother!"

"Get up, it's so early this morning?"

Li Shangwen got up, stepped forward and said, "Mother, have you thought about it?" When will Big Brother come back? ”

Li Yang's eyes flashed, "Shang Wen, did your Uncle Zhong tell you the news that your father is in Mangdang Mountain?" ”

Li Shangwen: "No, the Fang family hasn't heard from him yet." ”

Li Yang was silent for a while, and said: "The stakes are very high, if it is not handled well, it will affect the Li family, didn't you say that the Zhong Mansion can solve it by itself, let's not interfere, the last time I came forward, I have already given enough face." ”

Li Shangwen: "A Xue Shanhu, my uncle is ready to capture, there is no need for our help at all, what we give is an attitude, and there is only good and no harm to my Li family." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Forgive the child, my father has been gone for almost two years, if we can't come back, the opponent of Qingyang City alone is enough for us to be embattled, without immortal cultivators as backers, our best choice is to stay away from Qingyang as soon as possible, this is better than me!" ”

Li Yang stared at him for a while, walked back and forth for a while, and took out a black sign from his cuff, "Shangwen, you have grown up, this is the last hole card of the Li family, you must not be careful, you will not show your face......"

"Good!" Li Shangwen's eyes were bright, and he immediately reached out to pick it up, "What is this, how to use it?" ”

Originally, he just wanted the eldest lady to arrange for many martial artists in the martial arts hall to help, but he didn't expect to invite an important item.

Li Yang suddenly retracted his hand, "I'll accompany you on a trip!" ”

"It's good for my mother to go in person!"

……

Bell House.

Early in the morning, Dongcao hurriedly came to the main hall, saw Xiaohuan, and immediately grabbed her and whispered, "How long have you not been to deliver food to the second lady?" ”

Xiaohuan bowed and said: "Back to the sixth lady, it has been a few days, the slave and maid have only sent it once, and the second lady has the Bigu Dan given by the master, saying that the confinement will not give food." ”

Jiang Ping heard the movement, walked out with a big belly and asked, "Sister Dongcao, what's wrong?" ”

Dongcao stepped forward quickly, her face a little anxious, "Eldest sister, second sister is not in the house!" ”

"Last night I secretly went to see the second sister, I wanted to send some food to her, but the person was not there, I waited for a long time and didn't go back to the house, I went again this morning, the quilts are cold, Xiaohuan may not have gone to deliver food for a long time, eldest sister, second sister she, is it already running......"

Jiang Ping's heart moved, thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever talked about this with others?" ”

Dongcao shook her head, "Not yet, I wanted to come and tell the eldest sister last night that it was too late for you to sleep." ”

Jiang Ping said: "What did the bento do, don't tell anyone." ”

Dongcao was stunned and nodded.

Xiaohuan responded, "Yes, the slave remembers." ”

Jiang Ping moved to the door of the hall, and said solemnly: "Yan Sandao has made a big mistake, the old man is lenient, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and no one is allowed to send her food in the future!" ”

The maids passing by the courtyard and corridor stopped and bowed their heads.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Jiang Ping: "Xiaohuan, can the master get up?" ”

Xiaohuan: "No, madam, early in the morning, the slave maid saw that the seventh lady went to the master's cultivation room." ”

……

Cultivation room.

[You and your concubine work hard to double cultivate once, and gain +1 exercise perception, rune experience +1, and cultivation progress +1]]

Zhong Yan used the old man to push the tree, finished the morning class, glanced at the panel, and snorted coldly in his heart, wasting time and wasting elite soldiers.

Tang Xiaoshu was flushed, and while helping him put it on, he looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, "Husband, this is what you wrote?" ”

"Well, not bad, right?"

"Of course, my husband's calligraphy is natural, and the pen is subtle, and I will definitely be able to realize my grand wish for immortality in the future."

Fart!

It's the same as a chicken paw crawling.

In my previous life, I was used to using a ballpoint pen, and when I went to the Xianwu Continent to practice every day, it would be good to learn to write, how could I have time to practice calligraphy.

Everyone loves to listen to good words, but if you know that your heart and mouth are different, you will not be in the mood at all.

Even if the woman in front of her was beautiful, Zhong Yan was a little unhappy with her, but she looked satisfied on the surface, and reached out to grab the soft one, "You will come again tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, husband."

Not much.

The two of them walked out of the cultivation room and came to the ninth courtyard.

Zhong Xiaozhong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Master, Seventh Lady." ”

"Master, the city lord's mansion has sent a message, please come to the banquet at two o'clock on the third day of the new year."

Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows, earlier than expected, "It's the third year of junior high school?" ”

Zhong Xiaozhong: "That's right, the person just left." ”

Tang Xiaoshu noticed his face and asked carefully, "Husband, is there any problem?" ”

"You go to rest, Xiaozhong comes with me."

Zhong Yan said a word and led Zhong Xiaozhong to the study.

Sitting at his desk, he cast a spell to condense the soundproof shield and asked, "Is there anything unusual in the dock?" ”

"I haven't sent aquatic products here today, sir, could it be that the second lady came back early?"

Zhong Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "Who sends food to the sergeants outside on weekdays?" ”

"Xiaoqing and Xiaocui."

"Who else has been in contact with them besides them?"

Zhong Xiaozhong said directly: "Xiaohuan accompanied the eldest lady to say some words of thanks to General Hou, and the fourth lady and the seventh lady also went to toast together. ”

"You go and wait, come and tell me later."

"Yes, sir."

Zhong Yan pursed his lips and pondered, which detail should he have ignored, which led to variables.

In the case that he didn't release any signal, Qin Ben's best way to deal with it was to wait and see what happened.

At the moment, the time for negotiations has been directly determined, and there are only two days left.

"The sixth day of the first month...... Not a big problem. ”

After some thought, Zhong Yan took out several transmission notes and cast spells to condense the sounds one by one.

Zhong Xiaozhong returned again, followed by Li Shangwen and Li Yang.

"Uncle!"

"Liu'er has seen her uncle."

Li Yang's group of light green palaces, Ying Ying bowed, and went straight forward to put a black token engraved with the word 'year' on the table.

"Uncle Zhi wants to fight with the Xue family, the Li family is willing to help, this thing is my Li family's 'black year' order, master three hundred dead soldiers, distributed in all walks of life inside and outside Qingyang City...... Except for the occasional inquiry of the concubine's husband, he has never used it, so he can help his uncle. ”

Zhong Yan was surprised in his heart, and glanced at Li Shangwen, even if he persuaded him, if he wanted to come up with such an important thing, he had to have enough courage from Li Yang's family.

Li Henian married a good wife.

Zhong Yan smiled, got up and gave it away, picked up the token and looked at it and handed it back to her, "Thank you, sister-in-law, this thing should be saved for the critical moment in the future, Zhong can still deal with the current situation." ”

Money talks.

He is not just in Qingyang, he is good friends with many monks, sergeants, and local snakes on weekdays, and he does not give away gifts every New Year, and he has his own personal connections.

Let's just say that the chaotic area of the West End, the family's business there has not had any incident.

Moreover, he just went to Yang Yanqing last night, but he not only spent eight spirit stones to buy Yu Qingyao's information, but Yang Yanqing's power in Qingyang City was not comparable to Li Henian.

Li Yang and Zhong Yan looked at each other for a moment, then looked down at the token, took the debt, and said with a smile: "It's the concubine who is too worried, but the uncle has something to ask, although he commands." ”

"With Sister-in-law Lao running in person, with the relationship between the Zhong and Li families, you and I don't have to be polite."

"What Uncle said is that Liu Er won't bother much."

Li Yang bowed again and said to Li Shangwen: "Wen'er will stay here to help your uncle run errands." ”

"Mother walks slowly!"

Seeing her go out and leave, Li Shangwen immediately stepped forward and said: "Uncle, my aunt is also a powerful character, the child didn't tell her much about you, she took out the 'Black Year Order', and the child didn't know that there was such a thing at home before." ”

Zhong Yan nodded, Li Henian usually only teaches children, his mind is on cultivation and side jobs, and all the mundane affairs at home are handled by his wife and housekeeper.

He looked at Zhong Xiaozhong and asked, "How?" ”

"I have made a careful inquiry, and there were three conflicts and fights at the Xigang Wharf yesterday, but this situation was common in the past, and in addition, there was no change in the change of guard of the city guard."

Zhong Yan frowned, and couldn't help but suspect in his heart that Qin Ben was trying to force himself and take the initiative to create an opportunity to target the Xue Mansion.

It's just that he can't be sure that Tang Xiaoshu, a spy, was sent by the City Lord's Mansion for the time being.

Pondered for a long time.

Zhong Yan said: "In this way, Xiaozhong, you go to Li Mingqiang to drink and reveal the news of the Caoyun Gang to him, do you know what to do?" ”

Zhong Xiaozhong thought for a while and said, "The little one said, let him help walk the relationship and arrange for me to do things in the Ten Thousand Hall." ”

Zhong Yan nodded and waved.

Li Shangwen watched Zhong Xiaozhong leave quickly, and asked, "Uncle, are the Caoyun Gang and Wantang also involved?" ”

"They don't bother to pay attention to things that are not beneficial, but they can't help it if they don't participate."

"Wouldn't this offend them?"

"No, it won't."

Li Shangwen was puzzled, and asked again: "What does the child need to do?" ”

"You?"

Zhong Yan glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Is there a woman you like?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Shangwen looked confused.

Zhong Yan said: "I heard that Xue Laohu's third concubine is good-looking, and she was once known as the second beauty in Qingyang, have you seen it?" ”

Li Shangwen blinked, uncle wouldn't wait for the Xue Mansion to be destroyed and then give the little concubine to me, his heart moved, "I've seen it from afar, it's really okay, but she's in her thirties, and children don't like to be too old." ”

Zhong Yan glanced at it, smiling rather than smiling, "I heard that the first time you went to the Qinglou, you called a woman in her thirties." ”

"......" Li Shangwen's eyes widened, his face turned red, how could such a secret thing be discovered?

"You go hook up with her."

The corners of Li Shangwen's mouth twitched, "Uncle, she is born in the Triple Realm, she can slap me to pieces!" ”

Zhong Yan shook his hand and threw out a talisman in front of him, "There are pictures of Guo Qingxue and Xue Hongyi in it, one-time, just give it to her, if you like it, if she is willing, she will be yours afterwards." ”

Li Shangwen suddenly smiled and said, "The child knows how to do it, so let's go!" ”

Seeing the excitement in his eyes, Zhong Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Then, he grabbed a brush and wrote a letter, went out of the study, and called Tang Xiaoshu.

"You send this letter to the Xue Mansion."

Tang Xiaoshu was stunned.

Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Afraid of being detained?" ”

Tang Xiaoli took the letter on the horse, "Yes, husband, the concubine will change her clothes and go." ”

Zhong Yan called Xia He again, and swaggered out of the house amid the many sergeants and secret eyeliner.
