Murong Danyan was frightened, and he had nothing to say for a while. After a long time, she whispered: "In the opinion of Brother Yili, this young man came to Wangjiazhuang with hidden martial arts, is it because he wants to make things difficult with Wang Yuanwai and Sister Xiaoyu?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've met this young man, whether he is good or evil, and I can't touch the slightest bit of my mind." However, just now that this young man dares to take responsibility, he doesn't look like a big traitor. ”

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "But although Dongliao County is an important border town, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Dongyi has always been friendly with the Ming Dynasty, and has not used swords for more than a hundred years. Although Dongliao County is the throat road from Dongyi to Liaoyang Mansion, it is not a famous city outside the pass. The city was sparsely populated inside and outside the city, and the people had a hard time. Isn't it strange that so many martial arts masters have appeared in Dongliao County?"

When Murong Danyan heard Li Qiufeng say this, he became proud in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Brother Li, the 'martial arts master' you are talking about, am I also one of them?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "This is natural." I haven't seen her for a few months, and Miss Murong has made great progress in martial arts. After wanting to go back and forth to Murong Villa, Mr. Murong and Brother Murong gave more guidance, which made the Murong girl's fist and foot swordsmanship more powerful. ”

Murong Danyan shook his head and said, "After my brother took me back, he was first scolded by my mother, saying that he didn't take good care of me. Immediately afterwards, my father reprimanded him and punished him for thinking about it for three months. I saw that he was very depressed, and he kept a straight face all day, and after he had recovered from his injuries, he did not dare to talk to him. My father is busy healing my wounds, so how can he be in the mood to instruct me in martial arts? It is because of my martial arts that I have made great progress, and I have nothing to do with my brother and father. ”

Li Qiufeng praised Murong Danyan a few words, not intentionally flattering. Previously, Murong Danyan sneaked out of Murong Villa, although his swordsmanship was not weak, his internal strength was mediocre. Not to mention that compared with Li Qiufeng, Liu Sheng Zongyan, Tang He and other big masters, it is also quite inferior to Yu Changyuan, He Yi and others in Five Tiger Villa. Her internal strength cultivation is limited, which is certainly one of the reasons why she is not defeated by Yu Changchang and others, but how powerful Murong Qiushui's swordsmanship is, these exquisite sword moves alone are enough to make up for her lack of internal strength. Murong Danyan suffered losses many times, and later was plotted by the killers of the Liu Sheng clan and almost died, because she had too little experience in the rivers and lakes. Although after she met Li Qiufeng, she experienced many fierce battles such as the Imperial Tomb, Yong'an City, and Hutou Rock, which greatly increased her experience and insight. It's just that things are constantly going on every day, and I don't have time to calm down and meditate, and my martial arts have not made much progress. When Murong Danqing sent her back to Murong Villa, she was unconscious at first, but her head was like a dream, and all the things she experienced kept repeating herself. Unconsciously, the situation of fighting with Yu Changyuan, Xu Yingyang and others was deeply imprinted in her mind, which was of great help to her martial arts advancement. Later, the divine doctor Lan Qixing woke up Murong Danyan, she was on the sickbed, thinking back on the experience of the past few months, it was like being reborn, and she was no longer the ignorant girl she was when she first entered the rivers and lakes. This time, he re-entered the rivers and lakes and fought with Xiao Dong on the Sky Ridge. If it were Murong Danyan half a year ago, he would inevitably be defeated by Xiao Dong's sword. It's just that at this time, although Murong Danyan's internal strength cultivation and fist and foot swordsmanship have not made any progress, in terms of experience in the rivers and lakes and changes in the face of the enemy, he has long been no longer Wuxia Ameng. It was because she fought fiercely with Xiao Dong for a long time but did not fall behind, which surprised Li Qiufeng.

The two talked about it, and it didn't take much time to get to the front of the king's house. Wang Yuanwai and Wang Xiaoyu stopped and entered the courtyard with Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan.

Murong Danyan had been living in Wang's house for a few days, but Li Qiufeng had come here for the first time. From the outside of the door, the houses of the Wang family and the ordinary people in the Wang family village are no different, the courtyard walls and houses are a little low, and they are not as tall as the mansions of the rich squires in the Central Plains. It was only after entering the courtyard that Li Qiufeng discovered that the Wang family was extremely large. A single front yard is enough to accommodate 1,000 people. Directly opposite the gate are five main rooms, carved beams and painted buildings, very majestic. On both sides, a row of side rooms was built close to the courtyard wall, with black tiles and white walls, which looked quite solemn.

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan walked down the stone steps with the Wang family's father and daughter, and when he walked into the courtyard, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. The courtyard is not only wide, but also extremely simple. Except for the main house and the wings on both sides, there is not even a single tree. When I walked into the courtyard, there seemed to be an invisible force surging towards me, and I felt like I was walking on the edge of a cliff.

Li Qiufeng peeked around as he walked, and secretly thought in his heart that when he was on an errand in Jinyiwei, he walked in front of the Taihe Palace, and he had this feeling of being coerced. The scale of the royal compound naturally cannot be compared with the imperial palace, but in terms of feeling, it is slightly similar.

Before everyone walked to the main room, Wang Yuanwai stopped and asked Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to go first. Li Qiufeng hurriedly pushed forward, and in the end, it was Wang Yuanwai who walked in front, and Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Wang Xiaoyu walked side by side towards the stone steps. It's just that when Li Qiufeng walked up the stone steps, he inadvertently turned his head and glanced behind him, his heart moved, and he understood many things in an instant.

Ever since he entered the gate, he was amazed that the royal house was completely different from when he had seen it outside. At this time, seeing the uneven height of the courtyard and stone steps, he knew that the Wang family's compound was more than five feet lower than the road outside the door. As a result, the main house and the side rooms in the courtyard all sank five feet along with the courtyard. Walking outside the door, you can't see the situation inside the courtyard.

Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart that Liaodong and the Central Plains are separated by the Great Wall, and the folk customs are very different, even the houses of large families are far behind. The mansions in the capital pay attention to the grand scale, and the roof eaves must be exposed to the courtyard wall, so that the owner is generous. If the yard is dug lower than the road outside the door, it will definitely attract ridicule.

They went up the stone steps to the door of the main house. A servant had already opened the door and invited them in. After stepping through the threshold, there was a huge hall. On the white wall in the middle hangs a picture of the autumn moon at night, and against the wall is a long sandalwood table with a chair on each side. Other than that, there was nothing in the hall, and it seemed even more empty.

After everyone entered the main room, several servants brought out four chairs from the inner hall on the right side and arranged them on the left and right in front of the long sandalwood table. Wang Yuanwai invited Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to sit down, and instructed the servants to prepare tea, and then said to Li Qiufeng: "Fang Cai Zhu Gongzi said that he made a living by selling cloth, I don't know where Gongzi made his fortune?"

Li Qiufeng had already expected that Wang Yuanwai would ask such a question, so that he could repeat the set of rhetoric he had thought of. Wang Yuanwai heard that Li Qiufeng was from Shudi, and he was very interested and asked some about the customs of Shudi. Li Qiufeng grew up in Shu since he was a child, and he lived in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain with his master for half a year, so he can be said to be extremely familiar with Shu. is to answer the questions asked by the king, and Li Qiufeng is fluent. The two talked about the big and small things related to the cloth trade. Li Qiufeng chatted with Zhang Shi, Hu Shopkeeper and others every day these days, and knew a lot about the cloth business. At this time, learning and selling is unexpectedly the first to say. Wang Yuanwai was very obedient and couldn't stop nodding. Murong Danyan sat on the side and was very curious, thinking to himself, why haven't I seen him for more than half a year, Brother Li is so proficient in trading? Could it be that he really trafficked cloth in Shu and couldn't make money in business?

I saw Wang Yuanwai stroking his beard and said with a smile: "Zhu Gongzi is young, he has such knowledge, and he is extremely ashamed to teach Wang." The characters of the Central Plains are really completely different from our border places such as Dongliao County. If there is a chance in the future, Wang will also want to go to Shuzhong, and visit him at that time, and hope that Zhu Gongzi will not hesitate to give advice. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "The staff laughed. When I first arrived in Dongliao County, I heard about the name of Wang Yuanwai. When I saw it today, he was really a big man who was kind and charitable, and he only had to be respected. In the future, if Wang Yuanwai goes to Shuzhong, he will definitely welcome the master and listen to the advice of the outsider. ”

The two exchanged a few polite words. A servant woman walked in respectfully and said to the king, "The food and wine are ready." May I ask if you are dining in the hall or in the back garden Wanghua Pavilion?"

Before Wang Yuanwai could answer, Wang Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "Let's go to Wanghua Pavilion." The room was sullen and boring. ”

The servant woman agreed, but did not leave, still standing with her body bowed to the side. Until Wang Yuanwai nodded and said, "Just follow the instructions of the eldest lady and put the wine and food in the Wanghua Pavilion." The servant woman said "yes" and quietly exited the main room.
