As one of the four major families with the same name as the Li family, the branch of the Liu family in Hedong is also throughout the 13th Road Province of Daming, and the Liujia Mansion in Jinling is located in Taiping Lane in the north of the city.

Jinling sword, Hedong knife is very famous in the rivers and lakes, if you talk about family inheritance, Hedong Liu family can be traced back to the time of the Warring States period, and the prosperity of people is better than the Li family in Jinling. It's just that the main forces of the Liu family are in the Henan area, and they are more low-key and pay attention to the management of officialdom, especially after the saint married a woman of the Liu family as a concubine, the Liu family is even more favored in the temple.

The southerners valued business, the northerners valued the fields, and most of the Liu family's source of income was their fiefdom in the Hedong area. Even so, in a place like Jinling, where the transportation is convenient, the Liujia branch purchases rice, tea, and Su brocade from here every year and transports them to Hedong through the Grand Canal, and also makes a lot of profits. It was precisely because of the influence of the Li family in Jiangnan that the head of the Liu family proposed to marry the Li family, so as to open the north-south channel and confirm the status of the first family in Jiangbei.

However, the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless. Li Tingcheng was not interested in this Miss Liu, and even escaped from Jinling before proposing, which made the Liu family very faceless, so that Miss Liu Family kissed Jinling Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but she still touched a nail in front of Li Tingcheng. Today's ancestor worship ceremony, Liu Yuhan listened to the words of the second room of the Li family, and used the power of the family to "invite" Li Jinhua to Taiping Lane, waiting for Li Xiaocao's news, who expected to wait and wait, but waited for the Li family to change hands, and was expelled from the thirteenth room of the family to regain power, which made Liu Yuhan have no idea all of a sudden.

In Taiping Lane, Li Jinhua looked calm, and did not show any anxiety because he was trapped, but sat in the courtyard embroidery. When Li Jinhua was a boatman, he also liked to embroider things when he had nothing to do, one could meditate, and the other could sell the embroidered things to supplement the family.

Seeing Liu Yuhan come in, Li Jinhua put down the needle and thread in his hand and looked up at her, as if waiting for her to speak.

Liu Yuhan asked, "What kind of person is Li Chengcheng?"

She didn't see Li Chengcheng much, and she didn't actually have much contact, but more of her love at first sight, so she wanted to know more about him from Li Jinhua.

"He is a good person, sometimes a little childish, but he is a good person. ”

"Good guys?"

Liu Yuhan didn't expect Li Jinhua's evaluation of Li Tingcheng to be so simple, she originally thought that Li Jinhua would say that he was proud, arrogant, or a righteous hero, but Li Jinhua said the simplest words in his mouth.

Li Jinhua smiled, "Not bad." When I first met him, he was clumsy, he couldn't even catch fish and shake it simply, I passed on his knife skills, he couldn't learn it, compared to Zhao Lanjiang and Xiao Jinyan, he was simply stupid. However, he is a little good, he asks if he doesn't understand, and often pesters me to ask for a few hours because of a swordsmanship. ”

Liu Yuhan grew his mouth.

The proud son of the Li family in Jinling has extraordinary talent, how can he be a stupid person? But seeing that Li Jinhua does not seem to be a fake, then there is only one answer, that is, Li Chengcheng deliberately pretended to be stupid and wanted to get close to her. Thinking of this, she felt a little unwilling and very jealous.

"He is a well-known young man in the rivers and lakes, the third young master of the Li family in Jinling, how can he disdain to do such cheap things as catching fish and shaking him?"

Li Jinhua doesn't think so, "The heroes of the rivers and lakes are just titles given by outsiders, if you identify a man, you are ready to live with him, not to give him a name, in my eyes, he is not a hero." Whether he is a third young master or a beggar who still wants food, what I like is his person, not his identity. ”

Liu Yuhan skipped a sour feeling in her heart, she thought that she was the proud daughter of the sky, with her beauty, life experience, knowledge, and wealth, she was Li Chengcheng's perfect lover, but in front of Li Jinhua, she had an inferiority complex for no reason.

She said, "I like Brother Li, what if I want to rob you?"

Li Jinhua smiled slightly, "If you like it, you just like it, it's not possession." Brother Li is not a box of rouge or a horse of Su Jin. ”

When Liu Yuhan heard this, she felt that she was inferior to Li Jinhua everywhere, and she couldn't help but get angry, her pretty face was frosty, "I might as well tell you, now that the Li family is in trouble, Li Chengcheng is not the previous Li Tingcheng, and the only one who can help them is my Hedong Liu family." ”

Li Jinbei was shocked when he heard this, "What?"

Liu Yuhan roughly told her about today's Shanhefang, and said, "Now that the Li family in Jinling is in trouble, the life and death of the Li family master are also in the minds of others, and he and Xiao Jinyan are being chased and killed by the new patriarch all over the city. Li Chengcheng is a person who values love, and he is also a person who cares for his family. I can summon the power of the Liu family and help him take the position of lord of the family, but there is a premise......"

Liu Yuhan paused for a moment and said slowly, "You have to give me Brother Li." ”

Li Jinhua fell silent.

Liu Yuhan knew that Li Tingcheng was obsessed with Li Jinhua, and if he wanted to snatch love from her, he could only move his mind from Li Jinhua and persuade her to give up Li Tingcheng.

"Sister Li, do you want to watch Li Chengcheng being killed all over the city, and he himself is lying on the streets?"

This sentence touched Li Jinhua greatly, and after a long time, she asked, "How can you help him?"

Liu Yuhan was waiting for this sentence, she said, "My Hedong Liujia knife technique is famous all over the world, and there are nine knives among them, if they join forces, even the Golden Sword King can also fight." Now these nine knives are in Jinling City, as long as you are willing to nod, I will order these nine knives, as well as all the masters in Jinling City, to help him kill back to Shanhefang and take the position of the lord of the family!"

Li Jinhua has mixed feelings in her heart, she likes Li Tingcheng and is willing to go to the soup for him, but now that Li Tingcheng and his clansmen are in danger, she doesn't want to let Li Tingcheng lose the opportunity to turn the tables because of herself, and she is in a contradiction.

"This matter is sooner rather than later, if it is a step late, Brother Li is afraid that he will be worried about his life!"

Li Jinhua seemed to have made a lot of determination, raised his head, tears appeared in his eyes, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

......

It is no secret that Li Chengcheng is in the Qinhuai River, when he and Xiao Jinyan went ashore, they were surrounded by several swordsmen, and with them was a black-clothed swordsman, who was the swordsman brought by Li Changgong from the Ghost Fan Tower.

"Li Qiong, are you trying to stop me?"

The person who was replaced by Li Qiong was full of shame, and he said, "Third Young Master, don't embarrass us, as long as you go back to Shanhefang with us, the head of the family will not embarrass you." ”

"The head of the family?" Li Tingcheng sneered, "You eat our Li family's rice and take our Li family's money, but in the end you respect an outsider to be the head of the family?"

Li Qiong coughed dryly, "Third young master, we have a seventy-year-old mother, a three-year-old child, and three wives and concubines, so we have to listen to the orders of the head of the family, and I ask the young master to be considerate." ”

"What if I don't?"

Li Qiong was silent.

The black-clothed swordsman behind him said, "Li Qiong, why are you still stunned, do you want to disobey the order of the patriarch?"

Li Qiong gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and ordered everyone, "Capture this thief!" With that, he waved his sword and led everyone to attack Li Chengcheng.

The Li family has thirty-six sword appearances, and most of the martial arts are in the upper realm of knowing the Xuan, and among the people, Li Qiong broke through the Xiangxiang realm half a year ago, and he is only more than thirty years old this year, and he is very valued in the Li family.

The rest of the sword ministers were mostly favored by the Li family on weekdays, and when they started, they also retained some strength, how could the black-clothed swordsman of the Ghost Fan Tower not see it? He snorted coldly, "If you disobey the order of the patriarch, it will be regarded as betraying the family, if you procrastinate any longer, be careful that I will let you not eat and walk around in front of the patriarch!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qiong said in a low voice that he was offended, and his sword moves changed greatly, surrounding Li Tingcheng, and his sword style became fierce.

Xiao Jinyan stepped in front of the black-clothed swordsman and said, "I've seen you." ”

"There are many people who have seen me, how old are you?"

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "In Hidden Yang City, you were beaten all over the ground by Zhao Lanjiang to find teeth!"

The man was furious, "You are looking for death!"

Drawing his sword and stabbing at Xiao Jinyan, Xiao Jinyan took a step forward, and a peerless divine fist slammed on his shoulder, and he heard a click, his shoulder blade was broken, and the long sword fell to the ground.

Xiao Jinyan picked up the long sword and straddled it around his neck, "Stop!"

Seeing this, Li Qiong and the others put away their long swords one after another.

The black-clothed swordsman said, "Who are you who dare to meddle in the affairs of our Jinling Li family, if I let the master of my family know, you are at the end of the earth, and you will die without a place to be buried." ”

Xiao Jinyan raised his long sword and made a cut on his neck, "If I were you, I would definitely beg grandpa to sue grandma at this moment, begging me to spare your life." ”

The black-clothed swordsman relied on the amazing power of Ghost Fan Tower, and it was expected that Xiao Jinyan would not dare to kill him, so he snorted coldly, "Are you threatening Ghost Fan Tower now?"

"Exactly. ”

"My ghost Fan Lou will be revenged, if I am you, I will take back the sword, kneel on the ground and beg grandpa to tell grandma, begging me not to care. ”

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "But I don't believe in evil, what should I do?"

"If you have the guts, kill me, and see what happens?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "This request is very reasonable. ”

As soon as the long sword flipped over, the black-clothed swordsman of the Ghost Fan Lou grunted, pointed at Xiao Jinyan with his finger, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but blood flowed out of his mouth. Frightened and frightened in his heart, he clutched his throat and ran in the direction of Shanhefang, and after only a few steps, he fell to the ground, his feet twitched a few times, and he no longer moved.

Seeing that the man in black was killed, Li Qiong also put away his sword one after another, and lowered his hand and said, "Third Young Master!"

Li Chengcheng asked, "What's the situation in the clan now?"

Li Qiong said, "The people brought by the new patriarch have controlled several elders in the clan, and he has negotiated with several elders to redivide the forces of the Li family, and now the affairs of the Li family are presided over by Li Xiangzhong of the thirteenth room." The master, the second master, and the third master are locked up in the dungeon, and I don't know the specific situation, but I don't have to worry about my life. ”

Li Chengcheng was relieved to hear that his father was fine, and asked again: "What about the two uncles Changlu and Changshou?"

When they returned to the ancestral hall, they never came out again. Li Qiong said again, "The people in the clan are panicking now, and they don't know what will happen." Where is the Third Young Master going?"

"I'm going to save someone first. ”

Li Qiong said, "The new patriarch has sent more than thirty swordsmen to hunt you down, you have to be careful." ”

Li Qingcheng nodded, "You have to be careful." ”

Li Qiong smiled bitterly, "If you kill a ghost general, I'm afraid we won't survive." ”

"Why?"

"In order to prevent us from causing trouble, the new patriarch has divided the masters of our clan into several groups, which are ruled by twelve ghost generals of the Ghost Fan Tower. Li Qiong has only one request, if we unfortunately die in battle, please ask the third young master to take care of our family. ”

Li Tingcheng nodded.

Not far away, several more swordsmen gathered around.

Li Qiong pushed Li Chengcheng into the distance and said, "You go first!"
