Chapter 184: Half the Sky is Red
The Shen family has worked hard in Yukangcheng so far, and it is not impossible to say that they have built the entire Yukangcheng into a strong fortress.
Anyway, the Shen family's status in Yu Kangcheng can't even be broken by the government.
Even the people who were wronged did not go to the government to sound their grievances, but ran to the gate of the Shen family, begging the Shen family to make decisions for them and uphold justice.
Of course, the Shen family is willing to uphold justice, and there are more than a dozen literati who have read poetry and books all year round, so that this literati can sort out the ins and outs of the people, be impartial, and convict them of one, two, three, and then submit the documents to the government.
With the Shen family coming forward, the government does not need to interfere anymore, and directly sends officials, those who should be seized will be imprisoned, and those who should come forward to mediate will go to mediation.
Slowly, so many years passed.
In the hearts of the people of Yu Kangcheng, there is only one Shen family, and the government and the court of Great Xia are all ignored.
And after the Shen family had money and power, they also clearly knew the truth of pleasing the people, paid taxes to help bear it, and took the initiative to divide part of the family's fields, and when it came to the season of rent collection, they symbolically collected some grain, which meant that it was enough, expressing that these lands were still the property of the Shen family.
Therefore, the people near Yu Kangcheng are far more comfortable than the people in Nanyang in terms of food and clothing.
Similarly, the Shen family is the supreme existence in Yu Kangcheng, and it is impossible to say the same.
The defenders on the city wall, after seeing the flames of the mud mountain, did not report to the government, but rode straight to the Shen family.
When he arrived at the magnificent courtyard of the Shen family, he was busy reporting to the servants guarding on both sides.
When Hu Cong heard this, he didn't report it first, but directly led the defender into the gate of the Shen family.
Shen Changle, the head of the Shen family, enjoyed the shoulders and backs of two young and beautiful women in the bedroom.
Hu Cong found the housekeeper, and the housekeeper quickly found Shen Changle's wife, who also knew the importance of the mud mountain, and walked quickly to the front of the room and knocked on the door gently.
Shen Changle, the head of the family with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and asked lazily, "What's the matter?"
"Master, something happened to Mud Mountain. Madame's tone was just right, soft, and she couldn't hear any other emotion.
As soon as he heard that something had happened to Niba Mountain, Shen Changle waved away the charming service of the two young women: "Come in and say." ”
Madame pushed open the door and looked only at Shen Changle, without the slightest deviation from the two naked young women.
Shen Changle is in his fifties, his face is white and beardless, and he has very few wrinkles, and he seems to be well-maintained on weekdays, and he is extremely energetic.
"What's going on in Niba Mountain? Could it be that Zhao Daring wants money and doesn't do anything?"
Madame hurriedly shook her head and spoke faster: "The defenders of the city wall saw that the mud mountain was burning with a sky-high fire, and the fire was extremely strong, as if the entire mud mountain was burning!"
Shen Changle's eyes suddenly widened, grabbed the clothes that were placed aside, and walked out of the warm bedroom.
It's freezing outside.
He shuddered.
The butler had already prepared the carriage and horses.
The young defender stood next to the carriage and horses, and saw with his own eyes the most powerful person in Yu Kangcheng, walking quickly, immediately kneeling on the cold ground, and calling out to Master Shen.
Shen Changle jumped up in one step, entered the carriage with his hands and feet quickly, and the butler followed closely behind, raised the reels and threw them at the horse, the horse was in pain, and galloped towards the city wall.
And the young defender could only get up, bow to Shen Changle's wife, and run on foot to chase the carriage, the horse he rode was tied to the side, humming and panting, and I don't know if he was too excited after seeing Shen Changle, forgetting that he came on horseback, or the young defender had no brains.
Mrs. is about thirty years old, and it is okay to say that she is a young girl in the flower season, her face is like warm jade, her lips are just right, not thick or thin, her eyes are slender, and her body is graceful.
I can't see the carriage anymore.
She let out a long breath, turned around, and walked back to Shen Changle's room in small steps.
The two young and beautiful women were already lying in the quilt, waiting for Shen Changle to come back, the quilt would not be cold.
The lady went to the bedside.
The two women did not stand up and saluted, and addressed Madame delicately.
She reached out and stepped into the covers.
Rubbed for a while.
With her hand constantly straining.
The beautiful woman next to the bed, breathing gradually heavily.
She said, "Tomorrow will still be your costume master?"
"No, the master just said that the two of them will change spring green and summer red. ”
"Well, Autumn Orange, Winter White, you go to my room tomorrow night. Spring green and summer red really don't know how to serve me. ”
"Got it, ma'am. ”
She smiled lowly, leaned into the ears of the two, and whispered: "After the master comes back, I want you to use all your skills to make it impossible to get up tomorrow morning when the master is waiting!"
"Understood. ”
The two whispered.
The lady's hand still did not pull out of the futon, but worked harder.
After another quarter of an hour, the two young women, after one after another convulsions violently, walked out of Shen Changle's bedroom contentedly and went back to her side room.
Before pushing the door, she looked around left and right.
"Sister-in-law is back?!"
A middle-aged man came around the corner at the right time.
Shen Changle's wife pushed open the door: "Shen Changjing, there is no need to say polite words anymore, I am tired of listening to it." ”
Shen Changjing chuckled for a moment, followed her, and slipped into the room.
"There is a fire in Mud Mountain, and my brother attaches great importance to the gang of thieves in Mud Mountain, and he will not be able to come back for a while. ”
"Yo, are you going to stay with me, watch out for your brother to come back and catch us adulterers and adulteresses!"
"Xu Qiaolan, with our two wits, how can my brother catch us? ”
"Huh, you two brothers, really, who do you think of me?"
"Haha...... My brother treats you as a wife who can run a family, and I can treat you as a concubine. Shen Changjing didn't dare to laugh out loud, suppressed his laughter, and said.
"But then again......"
"What?!"
"Mud Mountain is so important to the Shen family, why did a fire suddenly ignite?"
"What else can I do? Zhao Daring is a person who has little ability and no small desire, last time he came to ask for money and food, and he estimated that this time he also asked for something from the Shen family. ”
"If you want something, you shouldn't have set the mud mountain on fire!"
"Sister-in-law, you underestimate Zhao Daring too much, he is completely an outlaw, and those of us who are used to living a peaceful life can't be compared, we also know some moral integrity, Zhao Daring doesn't care at all!"
Xu Qiaolan smiled: "It's strange, we still know about moral integrity? The little uncle has an affair with his sister-in-law, how can there be a little bit of moral integrity?!"
"Hehe, isn't this my brother being kept in the dark? ”
"When they all know, I, Xu Qiaolan, will definitely die, but you Shen Changjing can't die!"
"Qiaolan, you are wrong, I really love you, if our affairs are revealed, my brother will die with you. ”
Saying that, Shen Changjing, the second head of the Shen family second only to Shen Changle, moved his hand and began to take off Xu Qiaolan's clothes.
Shen Changjing continued: "Shicai, I'll hide aside, the housekeeper will call you, and I'll be scared to death." ”
"Dead enemies, you also have times when you are afraid...... Well...... Tap ...... Now...... Okay tonight, don't come tomorrow night. ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand. Shen Changjing said with a lewd smile.
Shen Changle stood on the city wall, looking at the fire of Mud Mountain.
The butler stood behind him, staring at him the same.
"Old Wu, do you see something?"
"This fire is definitely not set by Zhao Dada!" said the housekeeper with his old age and hunched back, looking at the fire, worried.
Shen Changle said heavily: "I know that even if Zhao Daring has ten guts, he will not dare to let this fire go." ”
"There should be outsiders. The butler replied.
Shen Changle sighed: "No matter how big it is, you have to find out the situation, you arrange for someone to take a look now, and I will go home and sleep." ”
"Old man......"
The housekeeper was puzzled why such a big thing happened, and his master was still sleepy.
Shen Changle helplessly pointed to the fire in the mud mountain in the distance: "Look at that fire, it needs to ignite the entire camp, as for Zhao Daring and them, there is a chance that something will happen." ”
The butler bowed his head.
"After knowing what is happening, it is the best policy to act at the right time, no matter how anxious I am now, it will not help. Shen Changle turned around and went down the city wall.
The butler sent him away.
In case of big events, you must have spirit, and the master has indeed done it.
It is exactly as the old man said.
Even if he is in a hurry in Yukang City, like a headless fly, everything that should happen on the muddy mountain has happened, no matter how anxious he is, it is useless.
"That's right. Shen Changle turned his head on the stone steps of the city wall and looked at his henchman butler.
The housekeeper Lao Wu bowed down and listened to the order: "There should not be much left in Zhoujiazhuang, and the closest thing to Niba Mountain is Liujiazhuang, let the officials and soldiers go to Liujiazhuang tomorrow morning and carefully search for outsiders." ”
"Yes, I understand, but, sir, why not now?"
If the official army is transferred to the area of Liujiazhuang now, he may be able to catch the person who ignited the mud mountain.
Shen Changle sneered: "Zhao Daring is not an opponent, can the official army be an opponent?!What's more, if Yu Kangcheng's official army is useful, why should I ask Zhao Daring to help me train the army?!"
The old butler opened his mouth, but said nothing.
When he first learned that Yu Kangcheng had such a person as Zhao Daring, the old man was suddenly very excited, and ordered someone to take him to the Shen family and inquire carefully.
This Zhao Daring is also a bold person, he dares to say anything, hearing that Shen Changle is willing to provide money, food and people, and let him train his troops, Zhao Daring bit and said, Master Shen's belief is my blessing, someone has money and food, I will definitely be able to train an army of a hundred battles for Master Shen, and I dare not guarantee that I will sweep the world, but let Master Shen become a big man with a name and surname in this state, it can still be done!
How long has it been?
This fire was born in Mud Mountain.
Shen Changle is not a very pampered person, although there are eight points, but it is not a problem to go home alone in the carriage.
On the way, I happened to meet the young defenders who were panting and hurrying forward.
Shen Changle stopped the carriage and asked contemptuously, "You went to the Shen family on foot to report to me?"
The young defender replied dumbfoundedly: "Master, no, the little one is on horseback!"
"Where's your horse?"
The young defender touched the back of his head, "Oh! I saw that the situation was critical, and I forgot that I was riding a horse!"
Shen Changle was amused by him: "It's okay, there is no merit and hard work, I will reward you with a few dollars, and stand there and wait, and this will be given to you." ”
Lift the curtains.
In the corner stood a long sword with a scabbard inlaid with precious stones.
When Shen Changle came out with the long sword, the young defenders thought that Master Shen was rewarding him with this sword.
Immediately overjoyed.
"Thank you, sir, thank you for your grace!"
"Grace?!" Shen Changle was surprised, thought about it, and laughed, "That's right, it's really grace." ”
The words fell.
Shen Changle pulled out the long sword in his scabbard, and with a single sword, he shaved off half of the young defender's head.
"What are you doing with a bunch of waste, why don't you kill the dog who keeps a guard and a nursing home!"
Poor to death, he thought that Shen Changle would reward his young defenders, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling.
In front of the house.
I saw the young defenders hitching their horses.
Shen Changle became a nameless fire, and immediately wanted to guard the two servants at the door, killed the horse, made the horse meat into meat filling, made into horse meat buns, and sold to the people on the street tomorrow.
Back in the room.
The two beauties have been waiting for a long time.
got up to serve Shen Changle, took off his clothes, and returned to bed naked.
......
Meng, who said that he didn't see Zhao Que, still took the initiative to appear when he arrived at the foot of Mud Mountain.
Meng Liao was murderous, looking directly at Zhao Que, his teeth itching with hatred.
"Killed?" he asked.
Zhao Que glanced at the fire in Niba Mountain and nodded: "Even if you don't kill it, you have to die in this fire." ”
"You're having a good time. Meng said unpleasantly.
Zhao Que laughed: "The seniors got a promise from me, no matter how you look at it, the seniors are not at a loss." ”
Meng Li immediately shouted: "Boy! Meng Mou advises you not to get cheap and don't sell well! You have obtained all the feng shui luck here for nothing, but the cause and effect are borne by Meng Mou!"
Zhao Que nodded: "That's okay." ”
"Haha...... Meng really wants to kill you now!!"
Almost from between Meng's teeth, word after word.
Zhao Que ignored Meng's murderous aura that was greater than fire, "If the seniors want to kill the subordinates, they will honestly stand in place, do not move a step, and let the seniors kill!"
"Hey, you kid, you're also a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth. Meng paused, "You set the mud mountain on fire, and the people of Yu Kangcheng will see it." ”
"I know. ”
"When they see it, they will surely send someone to find out. ”
"I know. ”
"At that time, if you wanted to avoid cause and effect, you couldn't avoid it. Meng looked at Zhao Que's eyes.
Zhao Que replied: "With the feng shui luck here, those people in Yu Kangcheng didn't pay attention to it, in other words, killing bandits and igniting the mud mountain all relied on the work of their predecessors. ”
"You can talk. Meng Liao waved his hand and said impatiently.
Zhao Que said again: "What's more, I don't want to avoid cause and effect, and I don't need people from Yu Kangcheng to look for me here, I will visit me in person, keep my eyes open, and take a good look at what the Shen family is." ”
Meng couldn't help laughing.
The murderous aura on his body has not diminished.
"With a place of feng shui luck, the little brother who is sick suddenly straightened his waist!"
Zhao Que asked, "Why do seniors want to see me again?"
"I can't get angry. ”
"The rivers and lakes are sinister. ”
"Lao Tzu knew that the rivers and lakes were sinister many years ago! I don't need you to say it!" Meng Liao approached Zhao Que, "Who are you?! What did I do wrong? Meng Mou would never believe that you, who are just the six realms of the world, can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger and eat Lao Tzu!"
Zhao Que shook his head slowly: "It doesn't make the slightest sense for the seniors to ask who is below now. ”
"Isn't it meaningful? It must be meaningful, if you say that you are the world's first-class Tianjiao, Meng's state of mind will also be peaceful, and he will not lose a hand, and when he talks to others in the future, he will be complacent!" Meng said.
The firelight seemed to become a great sun, reflecting the foot of the mountain as if it were day.
Zhao Que looked at the women who were faintly visible in the distance, they were staggering, supporting each other, and returning to their hearts.
"Seniors, look at them. ”
Meng turned his head and looked: "What's wrong?"
"Is it a merit to rescue them from the bandits?"
"Naturally. ”
"I can rescue them from the bandit village in the future, do the seniors have any merit?"
"There must be, without me transporting feng shui qi into your body and recovering some combat strength, how can you save them when you are terminally ill!"
Zhao Que asked: "Aren't the predecessors not satisfied? There is a saying in the Buddhist family that saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and with such merit, the predecessors will not suffer!"
Meng Liao was stunned, and then said helplessly: "I won't do the rest, you can do it yourself." ”
Zhao Que hugged his fists and thanked him.
Meng didn't say a word more, as if he was an immortal, and returned to Changxiu Mountain.
Zhao Que walked towards Liujiazhuang.
He understood why Meng Li suddenly appeared to see him.
Nothing more than wanting to know his true identity.
After all, just a Chinese martial artist, with all the feng shui luck in a place, can he use it properly to kill a group of bandits, and he will say two things.
He was like entering a no-man's land, and he easily left no piece of armor killed by the mud mountain bandits, as if so much feng shui luck was as simple as drinking a glass of water for Zhao Que.
Therefore, Meng Li knew that he looked down on Zhao Que, and Zhao Que's true identity was definitely not ordinary.
Moreover, Zhao Que's injuries were very strange, and Meng Li couldn't see through them at all.
When he came out of Liu Dasheng's house, the plan in his heart walked back to Liu Dasheng's house with him, and the world was turned upside down.
Zhao Que didn't expect that he would be able to eradicate the bandits in Mud Mountain and save Liujiazhuang from disaster.
Not to mention, he also borrowed the hand of Meng and got a lot of opportunities.
Obviously, I feel that the neighborhood has become a barren mountain range, and even if it is almost spring, it is lifeless.
But Meng said that the feng shui luck in this place can be slowly restored.
In fact, all over the world, most of the feng shui luck can slowly return to its original state, unless it is like Qingshi City, there is a dragon spirit, which is taken by Zhao Que, no matter how long it will be, there will be no dragon spirit.
He suddenly thought of Lilong, and he didn't know what kind of situation he had in the Juchao Academy on Taoyao Mountain during the rebellion in Qingshi City.
With mixed thoughts, he returned to Liujiazhuang, and Zhao Que clearly heard the neighing of the brown-red thin horse.
There was nothing wrong with the voice, it should have been heard from afar.
"Brother Ma, Brother Ma, you and I have come all the way from Nanyang to here, and we can be regarded as dependent on each other, you can hear my footsteps, and in the future, I will be even more kind to you." ”
knocked on Liu Dasheng's door.
Liu Dasheng and his mother-in-law, no one slept.
After all, at this juncture, who can sleep between the two, they are praying that he can come back safely.
I heard a knock on the door.
Liu Dasheng was shaken all over.
"The little gentleman is back?!" asked the woman in a low voice.
Liu Xuezhi slept very hard, in order not to wake him up, the frightened Liu Dasheng dragged the woman out of the bedroom, and whispered: "What if it is a bandit on the muddy mountain?"
"Oh! There are still people keeping vigil outside Zhuangzi, if the bandits come, how can they not have the slightest warning? In my opinion, it must be the little gentleman who has returned!"
Liu Dasheng patted his forehead: "Blame me, blame me, it's me who thinks too much." ”
"After the little gentleman went to Mud Mountain, you were absent-minded. The woman complained.
She said as she went to open the door for Zhao Que.
Liu Dasheng said with a bitter face: "Who would have thought that the background of the bandits in the mud mountain is so big!"
He discussed it with the woman and felt that what Zhao Que said was very right.
It is really strange that the Shen family and the government in Yu Kangcheng have no news of it, as if the bandits do not exist!
The woman opened the door.
When he saw Zhao Que covered in blood at a glance, he immediately kept retreating, covering his mouth with both hands to prevent the screams from coming out.
When Liu Dasheng saw Zhao Que, his whole body was immediately cold, his mouth was wide open, and he would definitely be able to stuff two eggs!
"Little ...... Mr. Little...... Be...... Be...... Is that you?"
He asked, dumbfounded.
Zhao Que had long thought that the two of them would have such a big reaction, so he walked in the door by himself and closed it tightly with his backhand.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, let's go into the house and talk. ”
"Okay, come in, come in!"
Before the furnace was completely extinguished, Zhao Que returned, and the woman rekindled it with charcoal.
Liu Dasheng prepared hot water for him.
Zhao Que took a big sip and warmed his body, he wanted to tell all the things he did after going to Niba Mountain, I am afraid that Liu Dasheng and the woman would not believe it anyway.
After all, how could the bandits in Mud Mountain let Zhao Que kill him up and down and die overnight?
"Big brother and sister-in-law go out to take a look, I'll talk about it. ”
Zhao Que led the two out of the gate and pointed in the direction of Niba Mountain.
The firelight burned the night red.
Liu Dasheng couldn't help but tremble.
The woman was no better, her legs were weak, and if she hadn't dragged Liu Dasheng's shoulders, she would have to squat on the ground.
"My mother, did the little gentleman do it?" asked the woman in a hoarse voice.
Zhao Que nodded: "I killed all the bandits in Niba Mountain, just don't do anything, and give the bandit village a point, from now on, there will be no more bandits in Mud Mountain to infest Liujiazhuang!"
Liu Dasheng seemed to remember something, and hurriedly dragged Zhao Que back to his house and closed the door tightly.
"Little ...... Little sir, my mother-in-law and I both believe that you killed the bandits in Mud Mountain, but ...... But the people of Yu Kangcheng, how should we deal with it! They are not like bandits, they don't need to take action themselves at all, and the people can tear us apart!"
Zhao Que thought that Liu Dasheng would ask, he had said so many things at home, why could he kill not a single bandit after he went out? Could it be that he was lying? Not a scholar who traveled on a study tour!
Zhao Que said with a smile: "In this matter, don't worry about the eldest brother and sister-in-law, tomorrow, presumably the people of Yu Kangcheng will go to Liujiazhuang to search for strange passers-by, I will go with them, and I will definitely not drag down Liujiazhuang, let alone involve the eldest brother and sister-in-law!"
