Cracked Stone Fort is located at the junction of Liangzhou and Bingzhou. There is a large mountain here that spans thousands of miles, called Kuntong Mountain.

Kuntong Mountain is very steep, all of them are cliffs, and people are not allowed to enter. A mountain lies horizontally divided into two states, which is the natural junction of Liangzhou and Bingzhou.

The Split Stone Fort is on a mountain peak that extends outward in Kuntong Mountain, this mountain peak is like an arm stretching into Liangzhou, and there are natural mountain walls more than ten zhang high on three sides, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. To enter Crackstone, you must first climb another mountain and then pass through a five-person ridge to reach Crackstone.

The two Wang Mingyi brothers came to Splitstone Castle with the remaining elite of winter clothes and loot. By this time it was already dark, and the two men identified themselves and entered the castle.

The defender of the Split Stone Fort is named Park Huai-eun, a native of the Rama Kingdom in the Western Regions. After Wang Shouyi attacked Liangzhou, he surrendered to Wang Shouyi and helped the Hanyi Army defeat the attacks of the Northern Mu and Western Regions countries several times. Later, he made many military exploits and became the castle owner of Cracked Stone Castle because of his merits. And took the name of the Central Plains, Park Huai-eun.

Wang Mingyi asked Park Huai-eun to help with the prisoners and captured booty, while he and Lee Ming-yi treated each other's wounds. The two led the army into battle, and although they were not seriously injured, they also had many small wounds on their bodies. Although these minor injuries do not affect movement, if they are not treated quickly, it can be very troublesome if they become infected.

Park Huai-eun brought the potion and asked the two sons to treat the wounds. He asked, "Two sons, where did you get so many prisoners and captures?" ”

Wang Mingyi treated his wounds with medicinal solutions and said: "When I went out to patrol, I met a Beimu tribe of more than 1,000 people and fought a battle. The battlefield has not yet had time to be completely cleaned, and the Lord of Prim Castle can send people to continue cleaning after dawn. ”

Park Huaien became serious and asked, "Such a large Beimu tribe has appeared near the Split Stone Castle?" ”

Wang Mingyi nodded and said, "Yes, it is estimated that Beimu's army is coming soon." ”

Park Huaien didn't wait for Wang Mingyi to finish speaking, and said: "The two sons are resting here, and I will arrange for people to go out to check on them." Take precautions. ”

Park Huai-eun hurried out, obviously very concerned about this matter.

The two rested here for the night, and Wang Mingyi asked Park Huai-eun to help sell the captured and convert it into silver to give the cold-clothed regiments who died in battle as an additional subsidy to send them to their homes. He hurried to Liangzhou City with Li Mingyi.

The two didn't walk long before they ran into the corpses of Wang Liang and his party. The two dismounted and took a look.

Li Mingyi took the lead and said: "The military crossbow used by the people who killed them should not be the Northern Shepherds. The Northern Shepherds did not have the habit of using crossbows, they were accustomed to using bows and arrows. ”

Wang Mingyi looked at the Fire God Sect masters who had their heads smashed and said, "The murderers are all fatal with one blow, and they are not merciful at all. And the palm power is very high, not like a person in the army. ”

Li Mingyi suddenly asked: "Is there anyone in Liangzhou who can get a crossbow and still have a high palm power?" ”

Wang Mingyi thought about it carefully, a figure appeared in his mind, and said, "Your master? ”

Li Mingyi nodded and said, "Okay, someone will clean up the mess for us." ”

Wang Mingyi looked at the six corpses and the horses that were running around, and suddenly asked, "There is one person missing, did your master miss it?" And then went to chase? ”

Li Mingyi also carefully counted the corpses on the ground and said, "How do I know this, just go back and ask." ”

The two returned to Liangzhou, and Wang Mingyi went to the barracks to handle military affairs. Li Mingyi plans to return to his small courtyard.

As soon as he pushed the door and entered the courtyard, he saw Wei Lan who was handling medicinal materials there, Qin Tingyun who was practicing swords, and Xie Yarong who was talking and laughing with Wei Lan while doing needlework.

When the three girls saw him, they were first overjoyed, and then they all tacitly turned their heads away from him. Li Mingyi understood that the third daughter was angry with him for not saying goodbye that morning.

"What are you doing here, aren't you welcome your husband home?"

When the third daughter heard his words, no one paid attention to him.

Li Mingyi walked over and wanted to hug Qin Tingyun, who was practicing swords. Qin Tingyun's steps changed, and she directly distanced herself from him, and the long sword in her hand was directly on his neck.

Qin Tingyun pretended to be angry and said, "Where did you come from, what are you doing?" ”

"It's just that this kind of guy who goes out for days without making a noise can be killed." Without waiting for Li Mingyi to speak, Wei Lan was on the side to help.

Xie Yarong smiled and glanced at the embarrassed Li Mingyi, and said, "I'm afraid that Sister Yun won't be able to do it." ”

At this time, Li Mingyi didn't dare to admit it easily, once he did, his status in this family would not be guaranteed. So Li Mingyi took a step forward directly.

This step is very subtle, if Qin Tingyun doesn't let go of the sword, he will really hurt Li Mingyi, and if he lets go of the long sword, he will be close to Li Mingyi.

Qin Tingyun obviously didn't really want to kill Li Mingyi, even if she hurt him, she didn't want to, so he took a step, and she directly removed the long sword.

Qin Tingyun said angrily: "What do you do, it will really hurt ......"

Before she could say the latter sentence, she was hugged by Li Mingyi, and all her grievances and dissatisfaction turned into heat and warmth between her lips.

I don't know how long it took, Qin Tingyun pushed him away, and the long sword in his hand had already fallen to the ground. She said a little shyly, "You are really shameless. ”

"If I don't have shamelessness, how can I marry three beautiful women?"

After sending one away, Li Mingyi looked at the two ladies who were watching the play.

Wei Lan said with some vigilance: "Don't move your hands and feet, if you don't explain why there is no figure in the morning, I will poison you." ”

Li Mingyi didn't answer her, hugged Xie Yarong, who was unalert, and said, "There were some situations that day, and the second brother called me to fight with Beimu. ”

Xie Yarong was originally hugged by him, and was feeling the warmth in his arms, and when she heard the words, she said, "War? Are you hurt? ”

Wei Lan didn't get angry in an instant, she directly ripped off his clothes, saw the bandages deliberately exposed in Li Mingyi's clothes, and said angrily: "Why don't you say that you are injured, what is this bandage......"

Soon Li Mingyi was taken away by the three daughters and re-bandaged. The original dissatisfaction of the third daughter quickly dissipated.

After enjoying the gentleness of the third daughter, especially Wei Lan's gentleness of blaming him for misusing medicine and scolding him for not being able to bandage, the small courtyard welcomed another guest.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Mingyi took advantage of the situation to get rid of the third girl and ran to open the door.

What caught my eye was an ugly face, so ugly that it was earth-shattering, and it was very familiar.

"Master, you're here!"

Zhu Zhang smiled and said, "I didn't disturb your gentleness. ”

Li Mingyi said: "This gentle township was not arranged by you. ”

"Are you satisfied?"

Li Mingyi nodded and said, "Do you dare to be dissatisfied?" ”

Zhu Zhang pretended not to hear the meaning of his words, and said, "It's good to be satisfied, why don't you let me in and sit?" ”

"Of course, I'm not too excited to see Master." Li Mingyi hurriedly opened the door and let Zhu Zhang enter the door, and then called the three girls to see Zhu Zhang one by one.

Zhu Zhang looked at the third daughter with a smile and said, "Yes, but I, as a master, haven't given a wedding gift yet." ”

Without waiting for the third daughter to speak, Li Mingyi spoke first: "Master, this congratulatory gift can't be too picky, just give 18,000 taels." ”

"Are you still short of money as the third prince of the palace?" After Zhu Zhang said this, he called Wei Lan and said, "Xiaolan, I don't know if your retirement book is about to arrive with Wang Mingli?" ”

Wei Lan glanced at Li Mingyi a little shyly, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, Wei Lan doesn't want to take a leave of absence." ”

Zhu Zhang said: "Since this is the case, it proves that you are very satisfied with the marriage I arranged." ”

"Of course, she's satisfied." Li Mingyi said on the side.

Wei Lan glared at him and didn't refute.

Zhu Zhang picked up a document from his arms and said, "I don't have anything for you as a master." I went to the Criminal Department to get you and your father a certificate of innocence. ”

Wei Lan took the paperwork with some trembling. Although she hasn't said it to anyone over the years, it has always been a knot in her heart. She looked at the paperwork, tears silently streaming down her eyes.

Suddenly, she knelt on her knees, solemnly kowtowed to Zhu Zhang, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for avenging my father's grievances." ”

Zhu Zhang accepted her salute and said, "It seems that you are very satisfied with this gift." ”

Li Mingyi saw that she had the intention of kowtowing again, so he hurriedly went up and helped her up, and said, "Just kowtow to one meaning, Master understands your wish." ”

Li Mingyi wiped away her tears while helping her up, and comforted: "Don't cry, you should be happy, otherwise I will feel distressed." ”

Wei Lan nodded, glanced at Zhu Zhang, and left from Li Mingyi's arms. Qin Tingyun smiled at Li Mingyi and helped her.

Zhu Zhang didn't say anything to Wei Lan again, but said to Xie Yarong: "Smart Xie family girl, I have prepared a gift for the teacher." ”

Xie Yarong saluted and said, "Master, I'm bothered, Yarong is doing well now, I don't need it." ”

Zhu Zhang said: "Yes." Then I bothered to arrange a big house for you in Yangzhou. You don't want to ......"

As soon as he heard this, Li Mingyi instantly came to his senses, snatched the land deed that Zhu Zhang took out, and said: "Yes, yes, who said no." ”

Li Mingyi asked for it, and Xie Yarong had no choice but to say, "Thank you, Master." ”

Zhu Zhang said with a smile: "This title deed is actually a mansion of your Xie family. What I worked so hard to get is half of your dowry. ”

If the Xie family had not declined, if she Xie Yarong married Li Mingyi, the dowry would have to be tens of thousands of taels. But now that the Xie family has become a slave, she just came to the palace alone. Although she knew that Li Mingyi didn't care, it was always good to have something valuable in her hand.

So Xie Yarong snatched the title deed from Li Mingyi's hand and said, "Since it is the property of the Xie family, then Yarong will accept it." ”

"Don't you want to?" Li Mingyi muttered. Xie Yarong glared at him and didn't speak.

Then only Qin Tingyun remained.

In Qin Tingyun's expectant gaze, Zhu Zhang didn't take out anything, and said: "Although the little girl was abducted by me, since she married into the palace, our palace cannot be abolished. I went to your house in the name of the palace to give a dowry, and your dowry was sent to the palace. ”

Qin Tingyun asked a little shyly, "Daddy, did they agree?" ”

Zhu Zhang smiled and quipped: "They don't agree, are you not married?" ”

Qin Tingyun glanced at Li Mingyi and did not speak.

Zhu Zhang stopped teasing her and said, "They agreed." But your house is too far away, and they can't come. But your master, Fairy Liuyun, is here, and is chatting with the princess in the palace at this time. ”

Qin Tingyun didn't know what mood she was in at this time, and asked, "Master, does she blame me?" ”

Zhu Zhang said: "I don't know about this, so you should ask her yourself." ”
