Chapter 352: Eating Melons

Liu Yuhan herself is also the best in the world, and she is conceited and beautiful, she has never put any man in her eyes, she has never seen a man born so handsome, even more beautiful than a woman, which makes her heart chuckle, like three deer jumping around.

Before that, she vigorously opposed the marriage between the Liu family and the Li family, and the news she got from the people of the clan was that Li Chengcheng was a stubborn and amorous gentleman with a very bad reputation, so she didn't have a good impression of him, but when she saw it today, it was not what they said it was at all.

She was moved.

There is no woman in the world who can resist the charm of Li Chengcheng.

Not long ago, she vowed to make Li Chengcheng ugly in public, but now her face turned red and she said, "Why are you scolded? I, Liu Yuhan, came to see my future husband, this request is not too much, right?"

Li Chengcheng's face was a little embarrassed, he glanced back at the carriage and smiled slightly, "Miss Liu, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding between us, right?"

"What misunderstanding?"

"First, we don't have a marriage contract between us, and second, I already have a sweetheart. ”

In the past two days, Li Tingcheng made a big fuss about Changzhou Longhu Hall for a common woman, and it was rumored in Jinling City, and she also heard about it, and she was curious in her heart, whose woman has such charm that can make the first son of Jinling tempted? However, after she is a famous family, it is commonplace for men to have three wives and four concubines, and she does not mind that Li Tingcheng marries a concubine at home, anyway, she must be the main room.

Liu Yuhan said, "There is no marriage contract, you can talk about it again." As for the sister in the car, it's better to introduce her, and there will be days to get along with in the future. ”

Li Chengcheng was also quite helpless about her words, he shook his head, "I will make it clear to my parents about the Liu family, the person in the car is the lady I will welcome into the family openly." ”

Liu Yuhan's heart was cold, is he not beautiful enough? Or is the Liu family not powerful enough? The marriage of the Liu and Li families will definitely create a legend on the rivers and lakes, why did he refuse like this? Which of the men he met before was not respectful to himself, no one had ever rejected himself like this, and besides, it was still a marriage, or a street.

While speaking, Li Chengcheng had returned to the car, asking Xiao Jinyan to hurry up, he didn't want to make any trouble under the watchful eye.

Liu Yuhan looked at the background of the carriage, and did not get the slightest anger, but laughed, "No one can refuse this girl, what this girl wants to get, she must get it!"

Inside the carriage.

Although Li Jinhua was sitting in the car, she saw the whole process clearly, she knew that Li Chengcheng took her back to the city in order to seize the position of the head of the family, and the young lady of the Liu family, looking at her appearance, was a beautiful embryo, although she didn't know it, but she could hear from her tone that the power behind their family was not small. Thinking of this, she said, "Brother Li, if you like that woman, I don't mind." ”

Li Tingcheng said solemnly, "Jin Bottle, what kind of person are you and me? Although I Li Chengcheng has many friends, I am a confidant, and you are the only one in the world." It was, it is, and it will be. Don't say anything like that in the future. ”

Li Jinhua was happy in his heart, bowed his head and said, "I know it's wrong." ”

Li Chengcheng said softly, "You are not wrong, you are wrong in this world." Before, I thought that life was like this, I had to get by, whether it was the head of the family or power, it was just a cloud of the past. Only after getting to know you did I realize that in this life, someone can let you stay and fight for it, even if it is hard, it is worth it!"

Xiao Jinyan coughed outside, "It's so sour." ”

Li Tingcheng sneered, "Study hard." If you have half my effort, you don't have to suffer so many twists and turns with Miss Yuwen. ”

Li Chengcheng wanted to ridicule Xiao Jinyan's lack of level, but Xiao Jinyan caught the loophole and said, "Little Master, did you hear it, he learned these words, not from the bottom of his heart, I don't know how many women have said these words." You're going to have to tell the difference!"

Li Qingcheng was angry, "The surname is Xiao, if you sow discord again, wait a while, we will have to have a good fight." ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "It's nothing, little master, I was talking nonsense just now." ”

Li Jinhua sneered out loud and said softly, "I believe everything Brother Li says." ”

When the three of them came to the bank of the Qinhuai River, Zhao Ya had already received the news and parked the dragon and phoenix painting boat on the bank. When she saw Li Jinhua, Zhao Ya couldn't help but look at it a few times, and secretly wondered in her heart, this woman is very ordinary, I don't know how to capture the heart of the son? ”

This sentence made Li Jinhua a little overwhelmed, she has been bullied all her life, these days has been like in a dream, seeing a Peugeot woman saluting herself, she was embarrassed, and she didn't know how to return the salute, so she knelt down and said, "Miss Zhao, hello." ”

Li Tingcheng helped her up, "You don't have to be so restrained. ”

Li Chengcheng has a lot of real estate in Jinling, and his subordinates also have mansions, but now that some people want to kill Li Tingcheng, after thinking about it, it is better to be safer on the painting boat, at least someone suspects that the ship is approaching, which will cause alarm.

Everyone was about to get on the boat, and the alarm suddenly appeared.

A dozen sharp arrows crossed the riverbank and shot from the roof of a house opposite, aiming straight for the people on board.

"Be careful!"

Xiao Jinyan was the first to notice the abnormality, and as soon as the string force came out, he raised the horsewhip in his hand, rolled up three or four of them, and then slapped one in the air. There were still six or seven shooting at Li Chengcheng and Li Jinhua.

Li Chengcheng didn't have time to draw his sword, so he even protected Li Jinhua behind him, using his palm as a sword to block other arrows.

Li Chengcheng was trying his best to deal with the arrows on the other side of the river, and a gap appeared behind Li Jinhua. At this moment, a short arrow came first, shot from a passing pleasure boat, and silently aimed at Li Jinhua.

There are more than one killers!

At this moment, Xiao Jinyan was two or three zhang away from them, and when Li Chengcheng sensed it, the short arrow was only more than three zhang away from them, and he didn't want to think about it, so he didn't hesitate to damage his cultivation and force it

Yun Gong, using the law of space, moved a few inches to the side with Li Jinhua.

Burst!

A short arrow hit Li Jinhua in the shoulder.

Just a few inches away, Li Jinhua was pulled back from the ghost gate.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan shouted, "Protect the little master!" With that, he jumped three or four zhang away in the air, threw the horsewhip to the water, lightly put his feet on the horsewhip, and jumped more than four zhang away with the help of his strength, and landed on the pleasure boat.

The archer hiding here saw that the other party came in an instant, and his skill was so high that he was so frightened that he even wanted to abandon the ship and flee, Xiao Jinyan didn't give him a chance at all, took the oars, and picked him back to the boat before the assassin fell into the water, and pointed at his acupoint with his hand.

A whistle sounded in the distance, and the archers on the roofs on the other side of the river fled.

Xiao Jinyan looked at this person, dressed as a tourist, "Who are you?"

The Assassin did not speak.

He glanced at the boatman again, and the boatman trembled with fright, "Today he gave me two taels of silver, saying that he would rent a boat to cruise the river, and I didn't know that he would kill people." ”

Seeing that he didn't look like a fake, Xiao Jinyan picked up the assassin and returned to the painting boat.

Li Jinhua was injured and passed out, but fortunately, the arrow was not poisoned, but with her physique, this injury still made her very painful. Li Chengcheng hugged her in his arms, and ordered Zhao Ya to find Langzhong, and waited until half an hour before her wounds were treated.

It seems that the situation is more critical than imagined.

Li Tingcheng said to Zhao Ya, "Find out the whereabouts of those assassins." ”

Zhao Ya was a little embarrassed, in the past two days, she was still recruiting singers, and the intelligence force had not yet made the trip, so she was unable to mobilize it at all, and said, "I need time." ”

"Give you a day. ”

Li Chengcheng was angry, although he expected that when he returned to Jinling this time, his life would be uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly release cold arrows, which hurt Li Jinhua even more.

These assassins are not high in martial arts, but judging from the accuracy and strength of the arrows, they are also well-trained people, and in Jinling City, there are traces of forces with this kind of strength. What's more, Xiao Jinyan also caught a live mouth.

He put his sword against the assassin's neck, untied his acupoint, and said coldly, "Who sent you?"

The Assassin was silent.

Li Chengcheng said, "I ask you a question, if you don't answer, or answer incorrectly, I will cut off your ten fingers one by one." Got it?"

The Assassin remained silent.

"What's your name?"

The Assassin said nothing.

"The answer is incorrect. ”

With a scream, Li Chengcheng cut off one of his fingers. Ask again, "What's your name?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "I forgot, I'm afraid that he will commit suicide and remove his jaw." “

After that, help him tie his jawbone, and the man said, "Don't cut it, I say, I say." My name is Song Dachun, I am a member of the Lingnan Sword Sect, and those archers are all disciples of the Lingnan Sword Sect, and I came to Jinling City to kill you. ”

"Who sent you?"

"No one instructed you, you killed the people of our Lingnan Sword Sect, we are here on the orders of the Sword Master to avenge the dead Young Sword Master, Senior Brother Liu and Senior Uncle Zhang!"

On the Yinyang Trade Road, there were three people who intercepted and assassinated Li Chengcheng, and when he learned that the other party had received 300,000 taels of silver, he used a trick to let that Zhang kill the black-hearted sword Liu Chengfeng, and a swordsman surnamed Wu.

"Young Sword Master?"

"Merry and fast sword martial arts five dances, the only son of our sword master warrior An, died in your hands in the western frontier, this time the sword master led the people of the sword faction to come, just to get justice for his son. ”

"Where are they?"

"Right in ......"

Before he could exit, an arrow came and shot into the man's chest.

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "It's the only son again, Sun Shaoming and Li Renjie, counting this surnamed Wu, there are already three, and in the future, we should do less about this kind of offspring and grandchildren." ”

Li Chengcheng said coldly, "They killed me, their skills are not as good as others, and they were killed by me, what is wrong?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "That's right, how do you want to fight back?"

Li Chengcheng glanced at Li Jinhua, his gaze gradually became cold, "Find them and kill them!"

"The Lingnan Sword Sect is also a decent family. ”

"Are you scared?"

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "I'm afraid that their martial arts are too low, and they won't be fun to kill." ”

"Why are you so murderous?"

Xiao Jinyan said speechlessly, "Li Chengcheng, you have been told good things and bad things, how should I answer you?"

"I'm afraid you're scared. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "This Jianghu is not friendly to us. So why should we please them?"

On the riverbank, someone shouted, "Young Master!"

Xiao Jinyan saw that the person who came was Li Chengcheng's scholar Qingcao, and even asked someone to take him over, but he hadn't seen him for two years, Qingcao had grown a lot taller, he was already a teenager, he had become thin and black, and there were a lot of blisters on his face, and he squeezed out many red spots.

Qingcao carried the long sword on his back and looked at Li Chengcheng, "I can find the young master." ”

In the past two years, Qingcao has been accepted by Li Xiaohua as a sword servant and handed over to the two previous sword servants for training, and he already has the strength of knowing the Xuan Middle Realm. For the cultivation of a new generation of sword servants, the Li family has never been stingy in investing, and the swordsmanship they have learned is also excellent.

"Why are you here?"

Qingcao said, "The housewife heard that you are back, and you don't live at home, let me spy on the 'enemy situation'." He said happily, "I heard that the young master is making trouble in Changzhou, why don't you call me along?"

After all, Qingcao is young and temperamental, and the Li family is very strict in discipline on weekdays, in the past two years, in addition to practicing swords every day, there has never been a chance to come out, and when I heard the rumors of Li Chengcheng, I couldn't help but complain.

Li Chengcheng said, "I'll go home later." He looked at the grass and said, "Yes, martial arts have improved a lot." ”

Grass said, "Such as."

Now, I'm the head of a new generation of sword servants. ”

After the new head of the family succeeds to the throne, assisting the new head of the family, Li Xiaohua found twenty young people among the disciples of the clan, trained strictly every day, and finally selected three sword servants, and the rest joined the ranks of the Li family's swordsmen, preparing to pass them to Li Chengcheng together with the position of the head of the family. Although these young sword servants are not the strongest fighters in the family, they are the most loyal and hot-blooded people. In addition to the sword servants, there are also Jian Qing, Jian Xiang and others, these people are dedicated to practicing swordsmanship, but they will only take action when the family is in crisis.

For 500 years, the reason why the Li family has been famous in the rivers and lakes is that they refuse to relax in martial arts, business, and officialdom, while the head of the family directly controls the force in the family. Because of this, there is no other house or branch how to fight, and in the end it is still the fists that speak, so the family has been very stable over the years. The only civil strife was the time when Li Jianxin defected and broke away from the Li family a few years ago. At that time, the Li family was almost torn apart because of this, but fortunately, the head of the family at that time dispatched the worship, Jianqing, and Jianxiang in the family to save the day.

Although Li Chengcheng was suspicious of the people in the family, he still trusted these young people who had been trained by his father since childhood, and at this moment he had no one in his hands, and when he saw Qingcao coming, he said, "How many sword servants are there in the clan?"

"There were twenty of them, but in the end, three were chosen. ”

Li Chengcheng said, "Can I move it?"

"The young master laughed, these people were originally prepared for the young master. ”

Li Chengcheng said, "You go back and call these people over, I have a task for you." ”

Qingcao said excitedly, "Do you want to fight?"

"No, let you protect the ship. ”

An hour later, twenty sword servants came to the Qinhuai River, Qingcao is the head of the sword servants, the first time they received the task, they were also quite dedicated, ten people were arranged on the painting boat, and the rest of the people were either on the shore, or rented a boat to follow the painting boat, and the surrounding guards were impermeable. These people are all the strength of the Xuan Realm, and it is not a big problem to deal with most of the scenes.

After the arrangements were made, Qingcao asked, "Young Master, Madame asked you, when will you go home?"

Li Chengcheng had no plans to go home for the time being, it was a helpless move to escape marriage at that time, but Li Xiaohua was also furious about it, worshipping the ancestors is imminent, and if she can hide for a while, it will be for a while, if she really goes back, she will be destroyed by Li Xiaohua all day long, it is better to hide.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ya came back to resume her life.

"I've found the hiding place of the Lingnan Sword Sect. ”

"So fast?" Although Li Tingcheng trusted Zhao Ya, he didn't expect that her ability to do things would be so efficient.

"The main thing yesterday was too ostentatious, and now the city is full of gossip from the son, and last night there was a happy guest, who stayed on the peony fang, and after getting drunk, he inadvertently revealed that he had a house under his name, which was rented by a group of swordsmen with a southern accent. I sent someone to check, and those people lived in Wuyi Lane, a total of thirteen people. ”

......

Half an hour later, Wuyi Lane.

Wuyi Lane is next to the most prosperous Confucius Temple in the city, the north side is Wende Bridge, which is the downtown area, and today it is a bazaar, and the alley that is not wide is crowded with people, and the sound of selling is endless, and there is a noise everywhere.

There are locals, there are also a lot of foreign tourists, passing by Jinling, to appreciate the Jinling style, Lingnan sword school people hiding here, it is also a good choice.

To the south of the alley, there is a house with a small courtyard and a black vermilion lacquer door tightly closed.

Li Chengcheng and Xiao Jinyan had been sitting at the melon stall at the door for a while, and Zhao Ya's people told him that there were ten people in the courtyard now, and three of them went out to buy half an hour ago and were now on their way back.

Several sword servants have kept an eye on the place to prevent anyone from escaping.

Li Qingcheng said, "You don't have to come with me. ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "Someone has to collect your body, right?"

Li Chengcheng sneered, "If I had met Wu Shi'an a year ago, I might have backed down three points, but now, I haven't seen a Lingnan Sword Sect yet." ”

"Next to it is the Beicheng Terracotta Division, if you commit murder here today, the people from the government will come in a moment, will it be too ostentatious?"

Li Chengcheng said, "The government has never interfered in the disputes between the rivers and lakes. It's just that from now on, I'm afraid that business here will not be good. ”

The two chatted, and the old man selling melons next to him couldn't help but say, "Two sons, it's hot, buy a watermelon to relieve the heat, my melon is sweet!"

Li Tingcheng nodded, the old man picked out the big ones, took out the fruit knife, didn't look at it, brushed it a few times, and cut the watermelon into eighteen slices.

Xiao Jinyan praised: "Good knife technique!"

The old man was quite proud and said with a smile, "There is no him, only he is familiar." The old man began to grow melons and sell melons at the age of ten, and if he claimed to be the second, no one in Jinling City dared to call him the first. ”

At this time, a team of officers and soldiers came over, and the person at the head was Li Jintang.

"Third child, I heard that you have returned, but I haven't seen you, why are you here?" he ordered the soldiers to stop, turn over and dismount, and come to the two of them.

Li Chengcheng said, "Why is the second brother here?"

Li Jintang said, "I received a report that there were armed fighters in Wuyi Lane, and I came over to take a look, but it seems that there is nothing wrong." ”

Tips?

Li Chengcheng frowned slightly, someone sent a message to the government? He felt that something was wrong, but in the past two days, he had made up his mind to kill, and now that he had found news of the assassin, he couldn't wait at all. As he spoke, the vermilion door opened, and two people returned to the house.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Qingcheng said, "Let's kill a few people." ”

Li Jintang said, "Are you crazy, in broad daylight, committing murder on the street, even if it is a battle in the rivers and lakes, you have to take care of the face of the Terracotta Division, right?"

Li Chengcheng smiled, picked up a piece of watermelon, and handed it to him, "You can sit down." ”

"What is this for?"

"Please eat melons. ”
