Chapter 394: Wasted Effort
Qiu Yulian saw that her husband was invincible, so she didn't think much about it, jumped forward, and stabbed Hong Renhai with her sword. Although Hong Renhai, who is one enemy and two enemies, has empty hands, he is still at ease, talking and laughing among the two, and said to Zhang Meilan: "Miss, am I higher than your lover's martial arts skills, and I am more amazing, it is better to follow me." ”
Li Yihang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, Hong Renhai has always been a cold-mouthed and cold-faced person, how did he become like this now, could it be that after Chen Juan's death, he had no scruples, and he showed the unknown side of his heart? Or did he expand himself as his martial arts gradually improved, and he became less and less concerned about secular etiquette and religion, and acted recklessly? Looking at his brothers, The lover was humiliated, according to his usual temperament, he would have jumped out a long time ago, but at this time, Li Yihang was no longer a young and impulsive young man, knowing that if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan, if he couldn't hold back his anger and came to the rescue, not only would his life be difficult to protect, but Li Nan and Qiu Yulian in front of him would not be happy, and Meilan would not be able to escape the clutches, and the missing Zhifei family and Senior Brother Lin's family would all suffer from the catastrophe, so they had to suppress their anger and look at each other coldly.
Hu Dingzhong, who had been watching the battle for a long time, finally opened his mouth and said, "Disciple, it's your own people, don't fight." It turned out that he had already recognized Li Nan, before returning to Helan Mountain, his group had stayed on Mulan Mountain for a few days, Li Nan's bold atmosphere left a lot of impression on him, and after inspecting Li Nan's kung fu, he drank Hong Renhai. Li Yihang saw Hu Dingzhong and Hong Renhai together, and guessed in his heart that the two were in a master-apprentice relationship, Hong Renhai was smarter than himself and was obsessed with martial arts, and Hu Dingzhong urgently needed an assistant to make a comeback, and the two hit it off.
Hearing Master's words, Hong Renhai immediately responded, "Yes, Master." "Jump out of the circle. Li Nan had not paid attention to Hu Dingzhong, and when he saw him standing aside, he recognized him as the former sect leader of the Guangfu Sect, and his heart was shocked: "My father-in-law has followed the current sect leader Shangguan Yu, but I met the previous sect leader here, how can that be good?" Hu Dingzhong saw the hesitation on his face, knew his intentions, and said: "Brother Li Nan, you still know me, how did you see the sect leader still standing on the ground like a log?" Li Nan didn't dare to think about it, and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Subordinate Li Nan, see Sect Leader Hu." Hu Dingzhong laughed and said, "Brother Li, did your father-in-law follow Elder Shangguan? If you see each other, persuade him to follow me, this sect leader has the ability to tolerate people, and he will not be blamed for the past, but if he does not come to his senses, when I ask Shangguan Elder about sin, if he makes an enemy against me, this sect leader will not be merciful." You tell him that the bone marrow pill he ate has an antidote in my hand, and if you want him to follow me, it will definitely not be wrong. Li Nan bowed and said: "Yes, when the subordinates see Gang Leader Qiu, they will definitely analyze the situation in front of him well, Gang Leader Qiu and his old man are like a mirror, and he will definitely make the right choice." ”
"Then there is Brother Lao Li to do more ideological work as a father-in-law, Renhai, these two girls are from the Qingzhu Gang, you have to remember the rules and don't act recklessly. Hu Dingzhong said with a smile. Hong Renhai knew in his heart that he had done too much, so he stood aside with his hands down and said, "Yes, Master." But his eyes peeked at Zhang Meilan. Li Nan saw that his lust was not extinguished, so he said: "Brother Hong, I haven't seen you for many years, not only have you made great progress in martial arts, but even your temperament has changed a lot. Hong Renhai was squeezed by him shallowly, and immediately came back to his senses and said: "It turned out to be Brother Li, no wonder he was so good at it, and he was offended." Although Qiu Yulian was willful, she was also interested in front of this famous leader of the Guangfu Sect, and she dared to say a word more, pulling Zhang Meilan to stand aside.
Hu Dingzhong asked Li Nan: "Brother Li, what are you doing in Changsha, Hunan?"
Li Nan and his wife accompanied Zhang Meilan to Changsha, the purpose was to find Li Yihang and Mei Zhifei and others, when Liu Dexing's family disappeared, Zhang Meilan happened to go back to Hanyang, escaped a catastrophe, and then came to Changsha to see people go to the empty building, suddenly had no idea, and went back to discuss with his father, Zhang Zhentian sent people to search, but has not been able to find any information, Zhang Meilan is worried about the safety of a group of friends, and is afraid that Li Yihang will not find anyone after coming back and worried, so he and his wife accompanied her to Changsha to look for people, but no one was found, but encountered the evil star of the Restoration Church, Li Yihang is the great opponent of the Restoration Church, although the Restoration Religion has existed in name only, but it is better to be on the safe sideAfter thinking about this, Li Nan said: "Sect Leader Qiyu, I came to Changsha to visit relatives. Hu Dingzhong said: "After visiting relatives, how about we go to my apprentice's house to have a glass of wine?" Li Nan said: "My subordinates have just come to Changsha. ”
Hu Dingzhong nodded and said, "Okay, you go and do your business first, where do you live?" Li Nan didn't dare not say anything, so he said: "My subordinates live in the Xiangjiang Inn in the north of the city. Hu Dingzhong looked at Hong Renhai, who was lost and depressed, and said, "Renhai, let's go, we still have something to do." He turned his head to Li Nan and said, "After visiting relatives, I will go to Hongfu to find us, and I have something to explain to you." Li Nan said: "Obey the order, the sect leader will go slowly." Hong Renhai turned around in three steps, and looked at the situation, and the soul was taken away by Zhang Meilan.
Seeing the two leave, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief together, Li Nan, Qiu Yulian and Zhang Meilan no longer had the heart to go shopping, and hurriedly returned to the inn, on the way Li Nan asked how to provoke the two, Qiu Yulian told the beggar about it, Li Nan muttered: "You said that the beggar is very similar to Yihang, brother and sister, have you seen it clearly?" He already regarded Zhang Meilan as Li Yihang's wife, Zhang Meilan was not the first time to hear it, and she didn't feel embarrassed, and replied: " I was thinking about something else, I didn't pay attention, and then no matter what my sister called, he didn't look up, and I didn't see him. Qiu Yulian said: "The way he looked at me, it really looked like your brother, but then he refused to look up, and interrupted me to say his name, ah! I know, he was afraid that we would recognize him, it must be so, because Hu Dingzhong was next to him, and he didn't dare to recognize him." Zhang Meilan felt that it was very possible, she was anxious, and hurriedly turned around to look for her, Li Nan grabbed her and said: "Brother and sister, don't worry, if your senior sister analyzes correctly, he will definitely come to the inn to find us, now there are a lot of eyeliner on the street, we don't know it, it's better not to act rashly, now go back to the inn and wait for him." Zhang Meilan looked back at the back, but she didn't see the beggar just now, she was unhappy, and insisted on going back to find it.
"Brother Shicai Nan said the name of the inn so loudly, and I noticed that he was also watching us from the side, if it is really your husband, he will definitely come to you, don't worry. Qiu Yulian understood her sister's intentions very well. Zhang Meilan said: "I'm really damned, I was distracted at that time, it's really hopeless." Li Nan comforted her and said: "Brother and sister, fortunately, you are distracted, if you really recognize him, under the yelling, it will definitely attract the attention of the two, but it will be bad, this is called a mistake, it is your fate is not over." Qiu Yulian said: "How to speak, what fate is not finished, this is called the will of heaven, and the heavens have a good fate." Li Nan said: "It's not wrong to say that fate is not over, if my brother and sister really recognize Yihang, his life will be lost, isn't fate over?"
Listening to the quarrel between the two while walking, Zhang Meilan had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed, so she looked back from time to time, hoping to see him follow.
Absent-minded, food does not know the taste, until the evening, never saw anyone come to find, Li Nan couldn't help but get anxious, walking back and forth in the room, suddenly heard the cooing owl outside the window, remembered the agreement on Mulan Mountain, my heart was happy, and quickly opened the window, and saw a person standing outside the window, Li Nan did not dare to be careless, and said in Jiangxi dialect: "Who is it?" The person outside the window replied in Jiangxi dialect: "Big brother, it's me." Li Nan was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the window and let Li Yihang jump in. Zhang Meilan was overjoyed, impatient, and rushed forward and whispered, "Brother Yihang!" Li Yihang clasped her hands and asked with concern: "Sister Lan, are you okay? I miss you." Li Yihang knew that he couldn't ask Zhifei about it immediately, he had to care about her first.
Zhang Meilan's eyes were red, if it weren't for Li Nan and Senior Sister next to her, she would really have jumped into Li Yihang's arms and hugged him tightly, looked up at Li Yihang's dark and filthy face and said: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm just very worried about your safety, you have been out for so long, and there is no news at all, but it really makes people die." Li Yihang saw that her face was haggard and her eyes had dark circles, and he thought about not thinking about his own tea and dinner during this time, and his heart was moved, and he said tenderly: "Sister Lan, I'm fine, everything is going well, don't worry about me now." Zhang Meilan asked: "I heard Senior Brother Lin say that you went to western Sichuan to find your skills and disperse your skills, but I don't know if you got it?" Li Yihang smiled: "You ask Senior Sister, did she feel if I had martial arts when she kicked me?"
Li Nan exclaimed: "Yulian, why are you kicking my brother?" Qiu Yulian said: "Tell him to look up and let Meilan look at it and not listen, didn't I kick a few times when I was annoyed, my strength was very light, but I didn't kick him, why are you so nervous? Hey, Yihang, don't you say it, I didn't feel anything unusual when I kicked you, have you all your skills gone? Did that female ghost still come out to make trouble?"
"Quanhua is gone, I don't have a trace of internal strength in my body, the woman never came out again, it should disappear with a body of strength. Li Yihang looked at Zhang Meilan with a smile. Zhang Meilan felt the strong affection in his eyes, and her heart was as sweet as eating honey, and she felt that all the lovesick worries in the past few months were worth it.
Qiu Yulian said: "Great, then the junior sister can marry you and have a big fat son." Li Nan said: "It's good to give birth to a daughter, my younger brother and sister are so beautiful, and the daughter I gave birth to must be as beautiful as a fairy." When Zhang Meilan heard the two of them talk like this, her pretty face was flushed, and she was extremely embarrassed. Qiu Yulian was not happy, and said: "The children are their fathers, then do I say that I am not beautiful enough when I give birth to a son?" Li Nan smiled: "There, there, you have a son, not that you are not beautiful enough, but because I am too handsome and handsome as a father, my son is like me, and it will be easy to please a wife in the future." ”
"Ouch, I'm so ashamed, I actually praised myself handsome to my brothers and sisters, you are really getting more and more complacent, that Yihang gave birth to a daughter, did you say that he was not handsome enough?"
Li Yihang ignored him and said to Zhang Meilan: "Meilan, I have lost my skills, I am no longer the omnipotent and surprising Li Yihang before, I have become an ordinary ordinary person, bullied, you, will you still love me as before?" Zhang Meilan stretched out her hand to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice: "I love you as a person, not your kung fu, without internal strength, I will not make trouble in the rivers and lakes, stay at home all day, then I will be happier and happier." Li Yihang looked at her eyes like a clear spring, and said emotionally: "Then after we get married, I won't go there, just cook at home for your mother and son, okay?"
Before Zhang Meilan could answer, Qiu Yulian said: "That's not possible, don't you go out to earn money, and let my junior sister drink the northwest wind?" Li Yihang smiled: "Then I'll follow Brother Li to help with miscellaneous food, you have to ask your husband to take care of me, otherwise it's not good to be hungry for your junior sister." ”
Li Nan asked: "Yihang, have you really completely dissolved your internal strength, then aren't you powerless now?" Li Yihang nodded and said: "Yes, if you don't transform your internal force, I am definitely not me now, but another person." Although I have no internal strength, my moves are still there, and it is more than enough to deal with some small thieves, and it is a little difficult to deal with martial arts masters. ”
Looking at his confident face, knowing that this brother has never exaggerated, since he said so, it is quite remarkable, Li Nan said: "That's good, that's good, at least you don't have to be bullied." The four of them sat down around the table, and when Li Nan closed the door and window, Li Yihang asked: "Meilan, I thought you were taken captive together, what is going on, do you know some inside information?" Zhang Meilan shook her head and said: " In mid-October, my mother's birthday, I went home, when I called Sister Zhifei, she said to stay in Changsha and wait for you, so she didn't follow me, to the end of October when I came back, Mrs. Liu's family was all missing, and then I returned to Hanyang, called Senior Sister and Brother Nan to come and wait for you, I didn't expect to meet you on the first day. Qiu Yulian said: "This is called a thousand miles of fate to meet." ”
Li Yihang said: "I know who did this." The three of them asked in unison, "Who is it?"
"It's Hu Dingzhong and Hong Renhai who you saw today, big brother, the two of them don't know the relationship between you and me, I think you can take a risk and let me know about their situation?" Li Nan said: "Your business is my business, what else can you not, this is a matter of course." Li Yihang said: "That's great, but you can listen to the news when you are safe, you don't have to do it, and I will do the rest." Li Nan said: "Don't worry about this, I have my own score, I will go to Hongfu tomorrow to find them and see what the situation is on his side." He turned to Qiu Yulian and said, "Yulian, you and Meilan will go back to Mulan Mountain first and wait for us, it's too dangerous to stay here." ”
"Although I can't do martial arts, it's always good to have one more person to help, and I won't go back. Qiu Yulian had a non-negotiable attitude. "I'm going to stay here too. Zhang Meilan's tone was firm and firm. The two women were reluctant to leave their lovers, and Li Nan said, "Okay, you two have to be careful." ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, the four of them glanced at each other, Li Nan asked, "Who?" Hong Renhai's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Li, it's me, Hong Renhai." ”
This guy came back so late, it must be to see Zhang Meilan, Li Nan glanced at Li Yihang and motioned for him to hide, Li Yihang didn't know if there was anyone from Hong Renhai outside the window, and said in a low voice: "I'm hiding under the bed, you two sit on the edge of the bed, big brother, you'd better not let him into the room." ”
Li Nan nodded and said loudly: "Brother Hong, it's late at night now, let's come back tomorrow if there is anything, we all have to rest." Hong Renhai said: "Brother Li, I hit it off with you at first sight, tonight the wind is clear and the moon is bright, why do men go to bed so early, it's better to come out for a walk." Li Yihang nodded at him and got under the bed. If you want to listen to the information, the relationship with Hong Renhai can't be too bad, Er Li knows this very well, Li Nan immediately replied: "Then Brother Hong waits for a while." ”
After a while, Li Nan opened the door, only to see Hong Renhai dressed in a white robe with gold wire, pedaling 3,000 beads, holding an ivory folding fan in his hand, a gold belt around his waist, his hair tied up with silver wire, and a faint perfume on his body. Although he was talking to Li Nan, his eyes glanced into the room, Li Nan stood in the middle of the door, blocking his vision, and said: "Brother Hong, there are female dependents inside, it is inconvenient to invite in, let's go outside." After saying that, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he closed the door directly after going out, Hong Renhai seemed to see two women sitting on the bed in the room, including Zhang Meilan. Then he said: "Why don't you invite Mrs. Shang's sister-in-law and that young lady to go to Changyuefang to listen to songs and enjoy songs and have a glass of wine?"
Sure enough, it was for Zhang Meilan to come, Li Nan said: "It's the second watch of the night, how can a woman's family go out so late, what kind of system is that." Hong Renhai said: "Children of the rivers and lakes, there is a difference between night and day in their eyes, as long as you like it, when can't you go out? Li Nan's face was displeased, and he said, "Brother Hong came to visit late at night, is it to see my wife? If there is nothing else, Brother Hong, please go back. "Hong Renhai didn't expect him to give himself face at all, he used to be your boss, but now he is with Sect Master Hu, and he must be my subordinate, and my martial arts are so much higher than yours, but he didn't even put me in his eyes, are you Li Nan really stupid or fake stupid, dare to do this to me?" Brother Li, I just said casually, why bother, of course I came to find you, go, let's talk while walking. Hong Renhai's face was silent, and he and Li Nan walked out of the inn.
Li Yihang crawled out from under the bed and said, "It's really unlucky." Qiu Yulian said: "The bad luck there, you are so attentive, you have to let Meilan suppress it, otherwise you will be lawless, and I don't know how many wives you will marry." Zhang Meilan carefully wiped the dust off his face for him, and said: "Yihang, don't be angry, this Hong Renhai is the key to our rescue of Zhifei's sister, and we must not turn against him now." She said well, her current martial arts are not even comparable to him, if you don't use him, how can you successfully save everyone? sighed and said: "Sister Lan, that's really wronged you, I watched you being teased by this person and couldn't do anything, when you were really like a knife, if you ...... in the past" Qiu Yulian rushed and said: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, since you choose to turn your skills away, you have to endure loneliness and oppression, the things of the past scenery, just a dream of Nan Ke, otherwise how can you live in the future?"
"Sister-in-law has taught me a lesson. Li Yihang was robbed by her, and his face was red and white. Zhang Meilan hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Yihang, you tell us about the process of begging for the dispersion, there must be many thrilling and interesting things in the middle, I love to hear your story the most." Looking at Zhang Meilan's delicate face and charming eyes, it was most appropriate to hug her at this time and say that the adventure was the most appropriate, but Qiu Yulian was here, and her wish could not be fulfilled, so she told the experience on the way seriously, omitting what happened the night before leaving the mountain.
Li Nan and Hong Renhai walked on the street without moonlight, Hong Renhai talked to Li Nan in the east and west, Li Nan casually perfunctory him, if he didn't speak, he didn't say a word, which caused a long period of silence in the middle, and the two became more and more embarrassed, Hong Renhai was not a particularly good chatter, but today I saw Zhang Meilan, and was teased by her amazing beauty, and her head was hot for a while, and she did many things that did not match her personality. Finally, he finally mustered up his courage and asked, "Brother Li, who is that woman with you today?"
Finally on time, Li Nan said: "Brother Hong, one of the two women during the day is my son-in-law, and the other girl is surnamed Zhang, do you mean the girl surnamed Zhang?" Hong Renhai nodded and said: "It turns out that the girl's surname is Zhang, is that from there?" Li Nan said: "She is from Hanyang, what, Brother Hong, are you interested in her?" Hong Renhai couldn't help but hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm just curious to ask." ”
Li Nan said: "It's okay, Miss Zhang already has her in-laws, and she will get married in a few days." Hong Renhai was disappointed when he heard this, and said after a while: "I don't know if the son of that family has this blessing and can marry Miss Zhang?" Li Nan pondered: "This guy may have bad intentions and take the time to harm the blessed son, and the fabricated location and name can't be too close and too detailed." Then he said: "It is said that Miss Zhang's mother-in-law is a royal nobleman of the Liao Kingdom, surnamed Xiao, and her family lives in Zhongdu, and the rest is not clear." He said that this blessed son was the royal family of Liao, so that he could dispel his thoughts. Sure enough, Hong Renhai said: "Only the royal family and nobles can be worthy of Miss Zhang, and the common people don't have to think about it." Li Nan said: "Of course, young men like you and me really don't have to think about it. Hong Renhai's expression was silent, and the light flashing in his eyes dimmed.
The two chatted for a while, Li Nan thought that his original intention had been reached, and there was nothing to talk about anymore, so he said to him: "Brother Hong, tomorrow I will go to visit my relatives early in the morning, and I will go to the house in the afternoon to meet Sect Master Hu, and I will leave." Hong Renhai was bored and said casually: "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow." ”
