Chapter 18: The Forbidden Land of the North Courtyard
Zuo Qiu Zong and Jiang Yan waited in the Li Mansion for more than an hour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The guards of Li Yuanwai's family also brought delicious food to entertain the two according to Li Yuanwai's instructions before leaving.
After the two of them were full of wine and food, they didn't look like Li Yuanwai was going to come back.
And at this moment, although Zuoqiu Zong was treated like a guest with good food and good food, he did not feel any satisfaction. Strange to say, at this moment, he is more curious in his heart, and even has a feeling of being deceived.
"Hey, Jiang Yan, what do you say is the origin of this Li Yuanwai?"
After thinking about it for a long time, Zuoqiu Zong felt really bored, so he asked Jiang Yan next to him.
"You don't know, how do I know?"
Jiang Yan lay on the shaking bed set up between the two trees of Li Yuanwai's house, shook comfortably, and replied with an impatient look.
Zuo Qiuzong looked at Jiang Yan's enjoyment, and he was angry, thinking that if this was a revolutionary era, Jiang Yan, this kid, would definitely betray the revolution under the enemy's sugar-coated shell attack.
"Aren't you curious? There is also the county lord who asked us to come to Li Yuanwai's house to protect Li Yuanwai, don't you think it's strange, he gave us the address of Li Yuanwai's house, doesn't he know the situation of this Li Yuanwai's family? Besides, Li Yuanwai's family is still within his jurisdiction!"
Zuoqiu Sect still asked Jiang Yan with curiosity.
"I'm curious about a fart, I have been sweeping the yard for more than a month, and my head hasn't turned around since I was sent out to public office this morning, for fear that I will be called back to sweep the yard again if I am not careful!
Jiang Yan didn't know when there was an extra branch in his hand, and at this moment he said with a look of enjoyment while chewing the branch in his mouth and picking his teeth.
But looking at Jiang Yan's dead appearance, Zuoqiu Sect was angry.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of an enemy like a god, you are afraid of a comrade-in-arms like a pig.
Zuo Qiu Zong thought about it again, and thought that he had always regarded Jiang Yan as his good brother, and couldn't help but shudder. Will such a teammate kill himself one day in exchange for silver?
"Jiang Yan, did you listen to me?"
Zuo Qiu Zong shook his head helplessly, and then questioned Jiang Yan loudly.
"Listen, listen, I'll just say so many things, don't ask me, my head is not as bright as you, if you have something to do with me, I'm okay, but if I want to use my brain, I think you might as well find a pig." ā
Jiang Yan still lay on the shaking bed and played shaking and shaking.
"Okay, I have something, you get up and give me a hand. ā
Zuoqiu Sect said loudly to Jiang Yan after listening to what Jiang Yan said.
"What's the matter, there is a good sun that doesn't shine, why are there so many things?"
After Jiang Yan heard this, he turned sideways and fell his gaze to Zuoqiu Zong, and asked with an impatient look.
"What's the matter, I'll tell you when you come down. ā
Zuo Qiuzong said, came to Jiang Yan's side, and pulled Jiang Yan off the shaker directly from his ear.
Don't look at Jiang Yan's big stature, but compared to his strength, he is a thin scholar who is obviously not the opponent of the Zuoqiu Sect, who was born as a martial artist. At the moment when Zuoqiu Zong grabbed Jiang Yan's ear, Jiang Yan screamed in pain.
"What the hell is going on?"
After Zuoqiu Sect let go of Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan completely broke away from the enjoyment just now.
"Didn't I say it earlier, according to my speculation, the county lord must know that this Li Yuanwai's family is very rich, and he also knows that Li Yuanwai has someone around him to protect him, so is it superfluous for him to send me to protect this Li Yuanwai?"
Zuo Qiu Zong asked seriously with a blink of eyes.
"yes, it's redundant. ā
Jiang Yan replied, but his face was still full of confusion.
"Isn't it normal to send us here for this extra move?"
"yes, it's not normal!"
Jiang Yan's face always had that bewildered look.
"So I think the county lord sent us to do something else. ā
Zuo Qiuzong said with a confident look, and the corners of his mouth turned upwards as he spoke, as if he had been impressed by his own intelligence.
"Something else? What else could we do?"
Jiang Yan was also a little curious when he heard this.
"So I ask you, don't you feel curious? Whether you are curious or not, I am very curious about this Li Yuanwai. ā
Zuo Qiu Sect looked thoughtful and said.
"So what, what do you wonder about what it has to do with the county master?"
Jiang Yan said with disdain on his face.
"Jiang Yan, I said you are stupid, you are really stupid. Although I don't know how many stories he has, I think there is one story in all his stories that the county lord wants to know, so I think we can't sleep here now, maybe if we sleep like you, the two of us will be reduced to sweeping the yard again. ā
Zuo Qiu Zong said very seriously to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was full of disbelief when he first listened to Zuoqiu Zong's words, but when he heard the words of the courtyard sweeper, his eyes were obviously dull.
Jiang Yan's truest idea at the moment was that as long as he didn't let himself sweep the yard, he could ask him to do whatever he wanted in the future.
"Then what you say we should do, I will listen to you. ā
Hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately slapped his chest and said to Zuoqiu Sect with an oath.
Hearing this, Zuoqiu Sect smiled slyly, and then said a few words in Jiang Yan's ear.
At first, Jiang Yan was still listening very carefully, but the more Jiang Yan's eyes widened. When he was about to finish, Jiang Yan involuntarily let out an 'ah'.
"How can this be done, didn't you listen to that guard? That north courtyard is the forbidden place of Li Yuanwai's family, and when he left, he repeatedly told us not to go over there. Besides, your bad idea may cost me my life. ā
Jiang Yan shook his head like a rattle as he spoke.
"Don't you forget that we are now in the public family, and besides, those who are not out of their own intentions are not guilty? Do you really believe that those people will kill us because of this kind of thing? It is not so simple to kill people in the official palace. ā
Zuo Qiu Zong said and squeezed his eyes towards Jiang Yan.
"Okay, I'll do it this time, don't hurt me. ā
Jiang Yan said, the cat was about to walk like the North Courtyard with his waist bent.
"Wait, wait, do you look like a woodcutter possessed? ā
Zuo Qiu Zong shook his head and pointed to the right path after seeing Jiang Yan's cat steps.
"No, I've learned a lot of similarities, okay? Liu Qiaofu, I've seen it, if I learn to be like it again, my image of a handsome guy will be gone. ā
Jiang Yan said reluctantly after listening to Zuo Qiu Zong's words.
"Pouting your hips, bending your waist, learning from the old man's appearance, don't stand on the straight end of the cat steps. ā
Although Zuoqiu Sect saw that Jiang Yan was not very willing to ruin the image of the handsome guy, he still gave Jiang Yan instructions.
"Mmmm, it's a bit like, the waist is tightened, and the butt is tilted a little more. ā
"Yes, yes, it's already a bit like, don't cat-walk. ā
"Yes, yes, that's it. ā
Under Zuo Qiuzong's repeated guidance, Jiang Yan finally imitated Liu Qiaofu.
Jiang Yan was pouting his hips at the moment, and he walked forward uncomfortably with his waist bent. But in my heart, I have scolded the eight ancestors of the Zuoqiu Sect all over again, if I let others see it, how will I see people in the future?
Just as Jiang Yan was walking, he scolded Zuoqiu Sect in his heart, the corners of Zuoqiu Zong's mouth turned up slightly, and a sly smile appeared in his eyes, and he trotted like Jiang Yan chasing after him.
After Jiang Yan heard Zuoqiu Zong's footsteps, he also took a big step according to Zuoqiu Zong's explanation, and followed Liu Qiaofu to run towards the north courtyard.
The two of them just walked one after the other, trotted all the way, and came to the north courtyard after a while.
What the two didn't expect was that the two of them trotted over the way but it was surprisingly smooth, and they didn't encounter anyone's obstruction at all.
Jiang Yan looked at the dilapidated and dilapidated houses in front of him, and he regretted it a little, there were only a few dilapidated houses in the north courtyard, what was so strange, and he was not allowed to come, it was not worth risking his life for these dilapidated houses.
Zuoqiu Zong was of course a little disappointed when he saw these houses. But Zuoqiu Sect was not as disappointed as Jiang Yan. Because he knew that since Li Yuanwai valued these houses so preciously, there must be something strange in this house.
Zuoqiu Zong thought of this and looked around, and saw that it was not as general as he imagined, and there were people around to protect him, so he smiled at Jiang Yan and made a gesture to keep up with him.
Then I came to the first dilapidated hut.
This small room is indeed dilapidated, because you can see clearly from the small lattice window outside, and you can see some firewood and grass piled up inside.
Just like that, the two of them walked several times.
It wasn't until Zuoqiu Zong walked to the door of a house behind these houses that Zuoqiu Zong stopped.
Because the windows of this house are pasted, and even from the pasted paper, it is not difficult to see that these pasted papers are just pasted and not old.
From this, it is not difficult to conclude that 80% of the house has the story they want to know.
However, just as Zuoqiu Zong wanted to enter the house, he suddenly stopped.
Hungry, he saw a stone plaque in front of the house.
'One part of strength, two parts of qi, the strong qi turns into ambition;'
'Start as a martial artist, end as a cultivator, and the Venerable Cultivator turns into a fight. ā
The stone plaque reads these twenty-six words.
When Zuoqiu Zong saw these twenty-six words, he silently recited them silently, and then his eyes could no longer be separated from this stone tablet.
'One part of strength, two points of ambition, the strong will turns into qi; the beginning is martial arts, the end is cultivation, and the cultivation of the Venerable turns into fighting." After reading it for the first time, Zuoqiu Zong read these words silently in his heart.
'Thousands of points, ten thousand combinations, divisions and combinations have a gathering for a fight. Fighting power, fighting spirit, fighting martial arts, fighting cultivation, fighting spirit. ā
After Zuoqiu Sect read the words on the stone tablet about three or four times, the words on the back also jumped out of his heart. What those words meant, he didn't know.
But the words were familiar to him, even as if they were engraved in his bones.
And at the moment when he was thinking, a very strong aura sank into his dantian in an instant.
