Chapter Forty-Eight: Thousand Illusion Clouds, Willows, Songtao Sword, Iron Hands Are Invincible, and Easy to Refine
Jinling, also known as Jiankang, Jianye, Jiangning, Nanjing, a famous city through the ages, a century-old imperial capital, and Jinling is the most beautiful and elegant name of the city. The name Jinling is the oldest, originating from King Chuwei building Jinling Yi in the stone city, and during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan built the capital here, and Jinling rose. Since ancient times, because of its topography, it has always been loved by various emperors, and the capital has been built here. "Since ancient times, the beautiful land, Jinling Imperial State" is the true portrayal of Jinling. Zhuge Liang also praised Jinling, "Zhongshan Dragon Pan, stone tiger, this is the emperor's house." In today's rivers and lakes, the owner of Yunliuzhuang, who ranks among the top ten in the world - Liu Sanqian, "Thousand Illusion Cloud Willow Songtao Sword", loves this city very much, and thinks that only the king's spirit of Jinling City can match himself.
So he moved "Yunliuzhuang" from Yangzhou to Jinling five years ago, and since then he has slowly monopolized almost all brothels and wine shops in Yangzhou, Gusu, Hangzhou, and Jinling. Gold and silver treasures are a good thing, but the Jianghu faction who doesn't pay much attention to him has money in his heart. For the small factions in the rivers and lakes, they use thunderous means to lose their courage. In the past five years, he has the potential to become the leader of Jiangnan martial arts. In the entire Jiangnan region, he does almost whatever he wants, and his power is overwhelming. Jiangnan martial arts righteous people, dare to be angry but dare not speak.
In the Jiangnan martial arts, in addition to Liu Sanqian's family, there is also a martial arts family, whose power should not be underestimated, and it is not too much to buy Liu Sanqian's account. It is the Yi family, the "iron-making gang" who is good at building various weapons. The head of the family is easy to refin, the people of the rivers and lakes are called "thousands of hammers, the iron hand is invincible", in addition to being good at building all kinds of weapons, a kung fu is also a rare enemy, a pair of iron smelters, has been superb, empty-handed all kinds of weapons are unscathed, for people are bold and righteous, and the major forces in the rivers and lakes have a lot of friendship. Legend has it that Xue Qing's fast snow sword and iron northward Yaojin scimitar were both made by him. It really gave Liu Sanqian a headache, but he was helpless.
Yi Bailian has no children under his knees, only a daughter, who is thousands of charming, slim and beautiful. In the entire Jinling City, she is also one of the best beauties, with small characters and easy red. As the name suggests, people usually like to wear red clothes and red shoes. Fierce as fire, his father's true inheritance of martial arts, a "Flame Phoenix Sword" on his waist, and a fire phoenix swordsmanship in one hand, so it was named "Fire Phoenix". It is also a leader in the Jiangnan martial arts, and its strength is firmly above the major masters under Liu Sanqian. Liu Sanqian's only son coveted her beauty, and I don't know how many times she was ridiculed after eating the "Fire Phoenix", but she still didn't give up, and kept pestering Liu Sanqian to come to the door to propose marriage.
And Liu Sanqian, knowing that the father and daughter are violent, has been pressed and did not dare to come to the door to propose marriage with a cheeky skin, first, I am afraid that I will be rejected and lose face, and secondly, Liu Sanqian does not have this strong behavior, after all, Yi Bailian's strength is not much weaker than himself, and there are hundreds of disciples under him, and almost all the blacksmith shops in the entire Jiangnan area are Yi Bailian's industry, and they are not easy to mess with. There is also a legend that Yi Bailian and the "Desert Taibao" Tie Xiangbei are cousins or sworn brothers. Before the emergence of the mysterious organization, there was a delicate balance in the rivers and lakes, and no one dared to break this balance easily, even if the financial resources were as strong as Liu Sanqian.
Now Liu Sanqian has joined the mysterious organization, because of his many industries and strong financial resources, he was hired as a guest secretary by the mysterious organization, this identity is much more comfortable than Luo Feihua and Qi Tianzhen and Wei Tongtian, one is more free, and the other can preserve his industry and strength in Jiangnan to the greatest extent. There is a strong strength behind the three, so it seems more and more unbeatable. Of course, as a guest secretary, Liu Sanqian spent 500,000 taels to bribe Luo Feihua and Remnant Jujian Ren Ping, and through Ren Ping, he spent 400,000 taels to bribe the four elders of the higher level of the mysterious organization, so that he did not become a completely vassal like Luo Feihua and Qi Tianzhen, and became a hall master who was driven by others. Of course, Liu Sanqian also agreed to unconditionally give financial support to the mysterious forces.
Now Liu Sanqian felt that his back against the big tree was good for the shade, and he couldn't withstand the soft grinding and hard bubble of his only son Liu Yun, and finally agreed to come to the door to propose.
Although Yi Bailian's mansion is not as good as Liu Sanqian's "Yunliu Villa" built on the mountain, covering an area of 100 acres, it is also one of the few buildings in the entire Jinling City.
When the group arrived at the gate of "Yifu", Liu Sanqian handed over the prayer post and ordered the disciples of the Iron Smelting Gang to go and report.
Yi Bailian is no longer easy to move the hammer at this time, unless an old friend in the rivers and lakes has found a rare good iron and steel for thousands of years, he can't do it, otherwise he just practices at home every day, drinks tea, and lives a leisurely life. On this day, he was drinking tea with his daughter "Fire Phoenix" in the courtyard, discussing the recent events in the rivers and lakes.
"Qi Qi helper, Liu Sanqian handed over the prayer post, and asked to see the helper with a generous gift. A disciple knelt down on one knee and said.
"Who? Liu Sanqian? Why is he here? Although the old man lives in Jinling City with him, everyone has their own side and has no contact, why is he looking for me? Isn't he taking the wrong medicine?" Yi Bailian usually can't get used to the style of people in Yunliu Villa bullying the market, bullying men and women, and forcing good people to become prostitutes.
"Helper, I see that a group of people came to this Liu Sanqianhao, drove the troika, the car was covered with red cloth, and it was full of all kinds of gifts. The iron-smelting disciple replied.
"What? Propose marriage to me? Giggle, I see that this kid Liu Yun is blinded by the wind and sand, and the lard is blindfolded, and I usually embarrass him, but he doesn't have a long memory at all, and he can still bring his father to propose marriage with a cheeky face, isn't it boring to himself? How can I like it, and how can I marry this uneducated and unskilled gentleman? "Fire Phoenix" Yi Qianhong is really as fierce as fire.
"Forget it, I can't get used to what these two men do, but they both belong to the same Jiangnan martial arts lineage, and they are in Jinling City, and they don't look up to see each other, and now that people are paying respects, we don't see that we are rude, that is, we refuse, and we will give people a little face! He didn't intend to agree to this family affair at all, but he didn't take Liu Sanqian to heart either.
"Hahaha, what kind of wind blew the famous Liu Zhuang owner to the door of the humble house, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome! Forgive sins, forgive sins!" Yi Bailian took Yi Qianhong to the door like a gust of wind.
"I have long admired the name of Brother Yi who has been tempered and tempered for a long time, and my brother Yi is invincible, since the day I came to Jinling, I have the intention of communicating, but I am entangled in mundane affairs, and I have not had the opportunity to meet him. Therefore, it is particularly courteous and courteous.
"Let's not stand outside the door and talk, it seems that I don't have the rules of the rivers and lakes, haha, please inside!" Yi Bailian said as he made a gesture of invitation, and walked to the living room with Liu Sanqian and his party.
When they arrived in the living room, Yi Bailian and Liu Sanqian sat down, and the servants immediately brought the tea, and Yi Qianhong and Liu Yun stood beside their respective fathers.
"Come, Brother Liu, please serve tea!" Yi Bailian made a gesture of invitation.
Liu Sanqian took the tea and took a sip gently. "Good tea, good tea, Brother Yi of the 'Yangxian Snow Bud' before the Ming Dynasty is really elegant!" Liu Sanqian said flatteringly.
"Brother Liu is really a tea taster, just one sip to drink the origin of this tea, admiration and admiration!" Yi Bailian echoed a few words and continued: "Brother Liu, the famous in the rivers and lakes, listed as one of the 'top ten masters in the world' in the rivers and lakes today, in the past few years, he has made a fortune in a muffled voice, whether it is prestige, martial arts, or financial resources, he is almost the first in the Jiangnan martial arts, I don't know if I deigned to come to the cold house today, what advice do you have?"
"Hehe, in the five years I came down to Jinling, I have been admiring Brother Yi's name for a long time, and I have made friends, but there has been no suitable excuse, so I have not come to visit, Brother Yi will not blame! Liu Sanqian said.
"Daddy......" Liu Yun looked at Liu Sanqian and was a little anxious to be polite with Yi Bailian. Liu Sanqian hurriedly glared at his son, and Liu Yun suddenly stopped talking.
"Brother Yi, at present, in the Jiangnan area, it is the most powerful of you and me, if we join forces, we can cross the entire Jiangnan!" Liu Sanqian said.
"Brother Liu's family has a great cause, martial arts, superb swordsmanship, and literary style. I'm really not comparable to you, and I know that I usually strike iron, forge knives, swords, and whatever. Don't dare to compare with Brother Liu. How dare you say that you have joined forces with Brother Liu, Brother Liu has lifted me up too much, and I can't climb high. Yi Bailian will not be able to climb the four words very clearly, but also very heavy. Implicit in the words is a rejection of any form of alliance.
Liu Sanqian's old face was slightly red, and he coughed twice: "Brother Yi, we are all people who have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and we have always been happy, but now we are slowly getting old, and the younger generation is slowly growing up. I have a dog in my family, and I have been admiring Brother Yi's daughter for two years, and I have been pestering me to propose marriage for the past two years, and I am annoyed by him, so I have to be cheeky today, and come to ask for marriage with heavy gifts, and I hope that Brother Yi will be successful!" Liu Sanqian said with a smile on his face.
"Ah, Uncle Liu, what kind of beauty do you say I am? I can't afford it, how can I listen to what your old bustard is praising the girl in your 'Cuiliu Courtyard'! I feel uncomfortable listening to it! I can't stand such praise from your uncle!"
Liu Sanqian's old face was flushed with shame, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Hehe, virtuous niece, it's really a fire phoenix, it's so hot to speak!" ”
"Hong'er, don't be unreasonable, Hugh has to mess around. Yi Bailian liked this daughter very much in his heart and praised it a lot, but he still said angrily on the surface.
"Uncle Liu, my father can't be my master in this matter, let's put it this way, I don't have feelings for your son-in-law, a little bit, nothing to lose. I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed today. Besides, that son-in-law of your family has been idle all day long, and his martial arts have been wasted, I'm afraid he hasn't even finished learning your 'Thousand Illusion Cloud Willow Sword Technique', right?" Yi Qianhong still didn't show any mercy.
