Chapter 52: The Uninvited Guest
Six days later......
This Lingzhou demon plague actually healed on its own, and Liu Jin thought that the other elders had found the demon and eliminated it, so that the demon plague was solved. He took the Lingzhou enchantment, stayed in Liujiabao with peace of mind, and trained the Liujia army with Liu Zhen and Liu Mu.
In the past few days, Liu Lingshuang had no intention of practicing martial arts, but later, seeing that Taiyi and Nian'er worked so hard, they began to practice the inner door exercises of the Liu family, and they couldn't fall behind. I also thought about thinking twice about coming back, and when I saw that she had grown, I praised her a few more words.
But this morning, after the three of them had dinner, they were practicing the exercises on the martial arts field as always, and a few uninvited guests came......
Those people swaggered into Liujiabao, but they didn't report it, and the guards couldn't stop it, saying that it was an old friend of the castle owner. The leader was a middle-aged man, as big as Liu Zhen, and beside him was a young man, with a delicate face and a serious expression, holding a sword and walking steadily. The two were followed by twenty-four blue-clothed swordsmen.
The disciples on the martial arts field, seeing that the group of people were so rude, they went down the steps and lined up in formation, wanting to block their way, Xu Xuan stood in front of the queue, pointed at the trespassers, and shouted: "Bold! This is Liujiabao, how can you be so rude, if it is really the old friend of the castle master, you must wait for me to wait for the report before letting go, such trespassing, it is really a bandit's an act, don't blame us for being polite." ”
The man at the head said contemptuously: "Yo yo yo, the Liu family is really different from what it used to be, even the minions dare to argue with me? ”
Xu Xuan waved his sword, shouted, and said: "I want to see our castle master, one! I will wait for the report, the castle master agrees to see, and I will let him go, and two! step over our corpses." ”
"Okay, the old man will fulfill you. While speaking, the man took the sword in the hand of a disciple, and with a flick of his hand, the sword attacked Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan saw that the man had the intention of breaking through, so he planned to fight with all his might, and all the disciples of the Liu family army also clenched their swords, wanting to fight to the death, and could not defeat the prestige of Liujiabao. When the sword was only ten steps away from Xu Xuan, an axe fell from the sky to block the blow.
It was Liu Zhen who heard the noise outside, so he came to check, Liu Zhen soared in the air, put his hand in one, and the axe back in his hand, Liu Zhen slowly fell to those people, and laughed loudly: "Brother Su, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so domineering, you came to my Liu family, and you don't want to say anything to me, and you still want to kill my disciple? ”
"You also know that my Su Xing is your Liu Zhen's brother? I still need to report when I enter this Liujia Fort? But don't forget, who saved your life back then, although my Su family is not as good as your Liu family, but this brother is a big etiquette and still uses me to teach you a boy?"
Liu Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you are the elder brother, but there are elders and uncles above me, don't you make me unable to get off the stage if you do this?"
Su Xing waved his hand, went up the steps of the martial arts field, and said as he walked: "You are the orthodox of the Liu family, and the elders and children of the Liu family can't go against your will." It's not that I can't tell you to come to the stage, you won't forget the agreement eighteen years ago, I will come to the appointment today, and your Liu family will put me out of the door, which is called unetiquette. ”
"What is the agreement?"
"Heh, this Lord of Liubao is really forgetful, I'll tell you. Eighteen years ago, when my child was full of moon, I drank and talked with you, and you said that if you gave birth to a daughter in the past, you would marry me. I said that there was no evidence, so I made a note, and you also drew a pledge, don't you say that you don't admit it?"
Liu Zhen shook off his sleeves vigorously and said angrily: "Damn, how can there be such a thing, I only remember that I drank a sip of wine that day, and then fainted, and when I woke up again, my money and belongings were looted, and I didn't see you." It's been eighteen years, and you suddenly appeared, and you want me to give you my daughter with one side?"
"It's not a one-sided statement. After speaking, he took out a piece of yellow paper on the inside of his clothes, spread it out, and said, "Disciples, look at it too, this is the handprint of your castle master." It is written that if he Liu Zhen gives birth to a daughter, he will marry my son of Su Xing for a hundred years. In this way, the Liu family has no orthodox heirs, and my son Su Huantian is the next generation of the Liu family's castle master. ”
Everyone talked about it, and Liu Zhen said angrily: "This is taking advantage of my coma and forcibly pressing it, not what I want, how can it be counted." ”
"I can't control this, the news that our Su family came to Liujiabao to marry has been spread in the major state capitals, but don't regret the marriage and ruin Liujiabao's reputation. ”
"You ......" Liu Zhen was angry, but he was really at a loss, after all, this yellow paper was indeed his own handprint, if he regretted his marriage, the outside world would not know what he really thought, and he would definitely think that it was my Liu family who was bullying and untrustworthy, and there was really nothing to be done.
Everyone talked about it, and they all felt that this matter was difficult to do, Su Xing stood on the martial arts field, beaming with pride, the two elders got the news and rushed over, and asked what happened to inquire clearly, this junior's affairs, he is not easy to manage, after all, Liu Zhen is also the owner of the castle, and his words and actions represent the entire Liu family.
Taiyi approached and asked Liu Mudao: "Master, where did this Su punishment come from, and you dare to argue with Liujiabao." This person looks like a treacherous person at a glance, how can Uncle Liu bow down to him?"
"I also know that nineteen years ago, Zhen'er was wandering outside and accidentally drowned, and this Su torture rescued him. Zhen'er was innocent at that time, and in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he hastily worshipped his brother. Zhen'er was also deceived and participated in his child's full moon banquet, who was fascinated by the medicine, and this Su punishment also took a fancy to the great cause of the Liujiabao family, so he made this strategy. In the end, Fei'er came forward to teach a lesson, and this Su Xing has not harassed Zhen'er for more than ten years. ”
Taiyi said angrily: "It's really hateful, and now you are here again, wanting to take away the Liu family's family business?"
Liujin listened to Taiyi and Liumu talking, stepped forward, snorted lightly, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Such a villain, how can I let him succeed." I also heard that this Su punishment has been terrible for more than ten years, and he actually created a sect in Xizhou and accepted many disciples. I think the backer behind the Su family should be the king of Qingjian River, and use him to consolidate Xizhou. Frost will not marry such a wicked person. ”
After speaking, Liu Jin rose into the air, stood on the long pole of the martial arts field, and the sound of his speech filled the sky, as if it was passed down from above: "Su Xing, right? I am Liu Jin, the great elder of Liujiabao, Liu Zhen is indeed the lord of a castle, and he decides all matters big and small." But the matter of the Liu family's etiquette and law is under my control! And the castle master cannot interfere, this is the rule of the Liu family. ”
Su Xing raised his head and pointed at Liujin and said, "Hey, old fellow, what is the matter of etiquette and law related to the marriage of my son and the daughter of the Liu family, and the marriage of my own daughter can't even be controlled by the father?
Liu Jin smiled and said: "Since ancient times, this marriage matter has been the words of the parents' order matchmaker, I can't deny this, but the Liu family, there are rules of the Liu family, and you can't make mistakes." The rules of the ancestors of the Liu family, if you want to marry a daughter, you also have to see whether the person you marry is qualified. Although we are married to a daughter, our Liu family can't be sloppy, and my Liu family is orthodox and Lingshuang alone. ”
"How do you determine if my son is qualified?"
"Of course, it's up to us and other elders to decide!"
Na Su Xing sneered: "Hehe, you will definitely make things difficult, I don't allow it." ”
"And what do you want?"
"Doesn't the Liu family advocate martial arts? If there is no one to compete with, my son will marry the daughter of the Liu family, which is the orthodoxy of the Liu family, and after Liu Zhen dies, he should inherit the position of the castle master. ”
Liu Zhen said angrily: "You ......"
"Zhen'er~~" Liu Jin interrupted Liu Zhen's words, and said slowly: "Zhen'er, this matter is decided, open a ring tomorrow, notify friends from all over the world to come, if there is a man of the right age in the family, you can also participate in this competition, second brother, you will arrange it." ”
"Yes, big brother. ”
After hearing Liukin's arrangement, the Su family and the others had no way to make another attempt, after all, they were also mortals, and if the Great Elder was angry and killed him, no one would dare to say anything. Su Xing still had confidence in Su Huantian, and it was difficult for anyone of the same age to match him, so he nodded, withdrew from Liujiabao, and stayed at the inn.
When Liu Mu saw those people leaving, he motioned for Liu Jin to approach, and said lightly: "Big brother, in just one day, I'm afraid that friends from all over the world will not be able to come." ”
"Second brother, do you really want to marry Lingshuang, and really call those young people to take this position? ”
When Liu Mu heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, okay, look at my old fool, I just don't have the wisdom of my eldest brother, but I ......"
"I know what you're going to say, is this Su Xuantian powerful? Do you think Xu Xuan and Taiyi are vegetarians?"
After speaking, Liukin shook his hand and left, and Liumu knew what Liukin meant, laughed and said softly: "Big brother, when will I be as smart as you, hehaha." After saying that, he flew away and went to inform his friends in the Quartet.
When the disciples encountered this, they really had no intention of practicing martial arts, so Liu Zhen let the disciples disperse and rest for a day, and Lingshuang and Nian'er also entered the room.
After returning to the room, Lingshuang's behavior was as usual, as if nothing had happened, Nian'er was worried, so she took her hand and said gently: "Lingshuang, are you okay, I saw that you didn't say a word, this is not like your character." As usual, if you encounter this, you will be furious. If you are angry, you vent it, don't hold it in your heart, it's not good for yourself. ”
Lingshuang laughed and said: "Haha, Nian'er is that you think too much, I really have nothing to do, and I don't care about this matter at all." Then why does Su Huantian want to marry me, I don't want to, what can he do to me, if he wins tomorrow, it's a big deal to leave home again. Besides, my father and grandfather are also helping me out of the siege, and they don't want me to marry into such a treacherous family, besides, this is related to the foundation of my Liu family, and our Liu family children will definitely not give in. ”
Nian'er nodded and said with a smile: "If this is the case, I will rest assured, but if Su Huantian wins tomorrow and you flee again, I am afraid that you will implicate Liujiabao and be made fun of by the world." ”
"No, it won't. There was a knock outside the door.
Lingshuang raised his eyes and saw that it was Xu Xuan, so he motioned for him to enter the room and said, "Senior Brother Xu, how do you know that it won't?"
Xu Xuanzuo said: "Miss, forgive me for being brave......"
"Senior brother, hurry up, I'm a junior sister, how can you salute like this?"
Xu Xuan got up and said, "Senior Sister Liu, I want to fight with that Su Huantian tomorrow......"
