Chapter 182: Pruning
When the palace of King Rui was in battle
Qingluo held a delicate silver plate in her hand, containing osmanthus cake on the plate, and walked out of Nana from the Soft Wind Pavilion, and when she came down the steps, she turned around and looked back, her beautiful face showing a trace of doubt and worry.
As the personal big girl of the county lord of Lianrou, she has been growing up with the county lord of Lianrou, although she is a master and servant, she is like a sister, and she is very familiar with her soft temper, but today, the county lord who came back from playing outside is a little abnormal, and it is very different from the county lord of Ping.
Every time before going to bed, you must eat two pieces of osmanthus cake, this is the long-standing habit of the lord of Lianrou, today, when the green radish is sent in, the lord of Lianrou is sitting under the lamp in a daze, holding the cheeks in one hand, holding the book in the other, soft in the hand, an absent-minded look.
Seeing the osmanthus cake that he usually liked, the county lord of Lianrou couldn't be interested at all, just glanced at Qingluo, then turned his head in a daze, and continued to stare at the book in a daze, thinking that he didn't belong.
Since the county lord of Lianrou recovered, it was like a lily slowly blooming, becoming more and more beautiful and moving, and now he was suddenly listless, as if he had been beaten, Qingluo's heart couldn't help but tremble, and a bad thought rose in her heart, isn't it the county lord's illness that has recurred?
However, thinking about the sound of the county lord's piano after dinner, Qingluo can hear that the county lord's heart is very chaotic, and there is no peace in the peace, it seems that there is something on his mind!
What is the heart?
Qingluo's smart and clever head turned, for the county lord who had no worries about food and clothing, the biggest concern was to get married.
Could it be that when the county lord went out to play, he met someone he liked? And this person was a poor scholar, and his status was too far from the palace, and he was not in the right household, and there were many obstacles?
Alas, it seems that I have to go to Dengyunzhi to find Brother Dengyun to talk about it, he is extremely smart, he is like a god, he will definitely guess the county lord's heart, and he can also find a solution, looking at the county lord's listless and sullen appearance, it is really distressing!
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
In the early morning of the next day, two corpses were found in both the Shenwei Hall and the Aotian Gang Altar, each with a blood book attached to it.
"Hand over the Sunflower Treasure Book, or it will end like this!--Aotian Gang"
"The plan to blame the mischief will make people laugh in vain! If there is a next time, Tuer will help the whole gang! -- Linhu Ju"
These two sentences are the contents of two blood books.
Zheng Gongquan, the leader of the Aotian Gang, decided to endure Linhu Ju and not confront him head-on, but he was not inactive.
The Four Seas Gang and the Xiaoyao Gang are all old gangs and old factions in Lin'an City, and they were pressed by the Nanshan Gang before, unable to get ahead, but they have been accumulating strength, and they know the rules and regulations of Linhuju, and they have also seen the terrifying places, only the rise of Shenweitang is abrupt, and the background is much shallow, and it is still possible to know the depth of the Tan water of Linhuju.
So a plan to frame the blame took shape, sending two masters to secretly kill two people in the Shenwei Hall, and then in the name of Linhuju, with a warning, maybe the master of the Shenwei Hall, Sun Baiwei, was in a hurry and killed Linhuju, with their nouveau riche mentality, they must be not afraid of heaven and earth, and it is very likely to be tricked.
It's just that Xiao Yuesheng's eyes and ears are everywhere, and Zheng Gongquan's plan has long been known by him from the mouth of the old boy, and he will plan to make a plan for him, but he will be an army, shock, or he can provoke him and take the opportunity to get rid of them.
Zheng Gongquan didn't sleep well last night, but he broke his teeth but wanted to swallow it in his stomach, since the Aotian Gang grew up, this kind of aggrieved taste has not been tasted for a long time.
When I think about it, the nameless karmic fire in my heart burns non-stop, how can I sleep?!
Fortunately, when I thought of my own plan to marry the trouble, my anger was reduced a little, and I could express my breath if I made such a secret calculation, otherwise, this breath would be held in my heart, and I would not be able to vent it, and I would be able to suffocate myself.
He slept late, and as soon as it was dawn, Elder Gu came to the door to disturb his nightmare.
Elder Gu's clear face was gloomy, as if he could scrape off a layer of ice.
Looking at the two corpses placed in the hall, Zheng Gongquan tore the cloth and blood book into dozens of pieces.
"Pulse interception technique!" Elder Luo, who had brown eyes and slightly curly hair, squatted on the ground and turned over the corpse, stood up, opened his deep-set eyes angrily, gritted his teeth, and his voice was strange, adding a little more momentum: "It's that damn Linhu Residence!"
At this time, in the hall, there were only Zheng Gongquan and the two elders Gu and Luo, the hall was silent, and the sound of helping the people outside the hall to practice faintly came in, and the shouting was endless, extremely rough, and full of vitality.
Zheng Gongquan's face was gloomy and panting, sitting on the throne carved from peach wood in the middle, the hands holding the chair body were white due to force, the texture of the peach wood was not strong, and his ten fingerprints had been left.
Elder Gu, who was dressed in a green shirt, stroked his beard with his hand in the air, frowning and pondering, and the sound of Elder Luo's gnashing of teeth didn't seem to be heard.
"Helper, we can't bear it any longer, let's do it, fuck it!" Seeing that both of them lowered their eyebrows and pondered, without saying a word, Elder Luo shouted in a rough and vicious voice.
"Helper, only the three of us know about last night's incident, how can Linhuju know?" Elder Gu didn't seem to hear Elder Luo's words, stroked his beard, frowned, Qingjun's face was full of doubts and solemnity, and he raised his head and asked slowly.
Touching the calm gaze of the gang leader Zheng Gongquan, Elder Gu's heart jumped, he had followed Zheng Gongquan for nearly ten years, and he had already understood his every move, this calm gaze showed that his heart was full of murder and wanted to explode.
"That's right, how could Linhu Ju know about our clever plan?!" Elder Luo's angry face suddenly disappeared and turned into doubt.
Zheng Gongquan's city was extremely deep, although he was slightly suspicious of the person in front of him, but he slowly swept his gaze over the two of them, shook his head, and had no expression on his face, just looked around thoughtfully.
When Elder Gu saw the help leader's gaze, he couldn't help but move in his heart, could it be that the partition wall has ears?
The master of Linhu Residence is so skilled in martial arts, if he wants to sneak into this place, he can't be sure if he can find out!
Thinking of this, Elder Gu couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, and he was uncomfortable, this lakeside residence was really terrifying!
Zheng Gongquan took a deep breath, his jade-like face slowly regained his calm, and sighed: "Linhuju is so persecuted, I'm afraid it is desperate for us to do it, and we don't know the depth of Linhuju, so we can't act recklessly!"
"That'...... How long are we going to endure it?!" Elder Luo's tone was stiff and strange, but he was a person who liked to talk, and the indignation on his face seemed to be about to spurt out like saliva.
"Wait for the opportunity, a fatal blow!" Zheng Gongquan's eyes were like lightning, his essence suddenly flashed, and his might as the leader of a gang suddenly poured out, and even the two elders with profound martial arts were also awe-inspiring in their hearts, breathing a breath, they couldn't help but bow their heads together, and it could only be like this!
When the old boy passed on their conversation to Xiao Yuesheng, Xiao Yuesheng was lying on his back in the warm quilt, lying on the bed and refusing to get up, the light gauze curtain had been rolled up, and the sunlight shone through the window, shining the shadow of the pane on the west wall, making the room unusually bright.
Guo Fu walked into the house with a light lotus step, she had finished practicing, took a bath, changed into a moon-white Luo shirt, and her red face was delicate and beautiful, like a rose under the morning dew.
Guo Fu's martial arts, which have always been quite proud, have become a child's trick in front of Wan Yanping's daughters, how can she not be greatly stimulated? So she learned a set of mysterious swordsmanship from Xiaoxing, and for a while, she has been practicing diligently, and her diligent energy is no different from Xie Xiaolan.
"Yawn-...... Well, don't worry, the Aotian Gang can't afford to make much of a storm, if they really want to find death, they might as well fulfill them!" Xiao Yuesheng stretched, yawned, and waved his hand lazily.
"Yes, the old slave will arrange for manpower,...... When did the old boy come in, stretched out his waist and opened the window through the bookcase, letting the fresh air in, and saw the direction of the horse master's hand, so he didn't say more, knowing that he shouldn't stay longer, so as not to be blasted out by him.
"Let's start eating in half an hour!" Xiao Yuesheng tightened the warm jacket on his body, feeling a little cold, although his body was not afraid of cold and heat, it was not insensitive to heat and cold.
Lao Tong retreated silently, Guo Fu came to the bed, with a gust of fragrant wind, she smiled like a flower, bowed her delicate body, approached her husband's face, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't get up yet?"
"Alas, you opened the window, won't I get up?" Xiao Yuesheng glared at her angrily, and finally lifted the warm jacket, still a little reluctant to give up on the warmth of the bed.
Guo Fu couldn't help but chuckle and hurriedly went to get his moon-white shirt, when she hadn't married into Mission Hills Villa, #172;#172; But she is a diligent person, with her father Guo Jing's words and deeds, Guo's sisters and brothers are hard-working people, and this good habit is still maintained by her.
Except for Xiao Yuesheng, the laziest owner, the women of Mission Hills Villa are actually diligent people, but Guo Fu's diligence is not special.
"Fu'er, you go and play with Ruonan and them today, I'll go back to the villa, and then go to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, alas!
Xiao Yuesheng let Guo Fu wait for him to put on his clothes, and said lazily, sniffing the fragrance of the spleen on her body, putting his big hand around her slender and elastic willow waist, and playfully climbing the two towering jade feng from time to time to play for a while.
"Hmm. Guo Fu hung his head, focused on stroking the folds at the corners of his clothes with his jade palm, and replied in a low voice, indescribably graceful and gentle.
Xiao Yuesheng finished breakfast, talked to Guo Fu for a while, and went to Peach Blossom Island.
The morning air on the sea has not disappeared, the light fog is shrouded, ethereal, Peach Blossom Island looks like Penglai or Yingzhou, very much like an overseas fairy island.
He came to the peach blossom array in an instant, and he didn't see Xiaoxing's frowning and contemplative figure, but he saw the figure of Wan Yanping and Cheng Yinglu's cousins, each of them holding a special arc-shaped scissors, and was pruning the peach tree with Wan Yanping.
Although the peach trees on Peach Blossom Island are all over the island, they are a little negligent in management, because there are too many, and the original Huang Yaoshi only planted them, regardless of repair, it turned out that those dumb servants were fine, and then those people died, and there were only two cousins Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang on the huge Peach Blossom Island, and they had no time to prune.
Wan Yanping is a person who loves flowers and trees, and when she saw that the peach trees in the field were ignored, she couldn't see it, so she personally cut and decorated these peach blossom trees that had been ignored for a long time.
The climate in the East China Sea is warm and humid, and the peach trees on Peach Blossom Island are already sprouting spring buds at this time.
In the thin light mist, under the peach blossom tree, the three beauties are all dressed in dark green silk satin suits, which do not make the heroic posture cool, and their exquisite concave and convex, peaks and undulating curves are even more annoying.
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang are still different, but Wan Yanping is a woman who is moistened by yang energy, her figure is completely different from her beautiful melon seed face, which is very different, and her angry peaks and buttocks, even Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, who are women, do not dare to stay on her.
"Where's Xiaoxing?" Xiao Yuesheng suddenly appeared in front of the three of them and asked with a smile.
He was afraid that they would be shy, just find a conversation, under the induction of his mind, a fallen leaf and an ant on Peach Blossom Island were all present in his mind, at this time, Xiaoxing, was wearing his hair, lying on a rather simple peach wood bed, sleeping extremely sweetly.
Wan Yanping was tiptoeing, straightening her jade arm to cut a horizontal branch above, the curve of her delicate body was even more angry, and when she heard her husband's voice behind her, Chu Chu's moving Yurong suddenly laughed: "Ah, it's big brother!"
She put down her jade arm, caught the cut peach branch, turned her head and smiled: "...... Xiaoxing is sleeping, she has been drilling into martial arts all night in the past few days, and finally started sleeping last night, big brother, don't bother her!"
"Well, I asked Xiaoxing to help change the heart of the Vulture Palace, and it seems to be done. Xiao Yuesheng nodded, and because Cheng Ying and her sisters were by her side, she didn't come forward to hug Yan Ping.
"Sister Cheng Ying also prunes peach trees?" Xiao Yuesheng's smile and groaning expression was hateful in Cheng Ying's eyes, but fortunately, his gaze only stayed on his face, and he did not linger on his body.
Cheng Yingxiuya's face was thin with hatred, and her slender eyes glanced at him: "Shouldn't I be able to cultivate trees?"
Lu Wushuang and Wan Yanping both pursed their lips and chuckled, Cheng Ying and Xiao Yuesheng have now become a pair of rivals, and if they don't sarcastically say two words to each other when they meet, it seems abnormal.
Xiao Yuesheng smiled, glanced at Cheng Ying's delicate body, and said with a smile: "Cheng Ying's sister's shirt is very beautiful!"
Cheng Ying was suddenly ashamed, glared at him angrily, but had nowhere to hide, turned around hurriedly, turned behind Wan Yan Ping, avoided his gaze, and said coldly: "In front of Sister Wan Yan, you dare to be so frivolous? !
Wan Yanping stood in front of Cheng Ying and smiled softly at her husband: "Okay, okay, big brother, can't you let Sister Cheng go?"
Xiao Yuesheng stroked the two black mustaches on her lips, and winked at Lu Wushuang, who was watching the excitement on the side, making her giggle, but she also blushed.
"Madame can't go back to the villa?...... I'm going to Xiangyang City today. Xiao Yuesheng stopped teasing Cheng Ying and them, his expression gradually straightened, he restrained his smile, and asked Wan Yanping, who was holding a peach branch.
After Yan Ping thought about it, shook the peach branch in her hand, gently brought it to the root of the tree, and said softly: "I won't go today, there are enough Xiaoyu Xiaofeng in the village,...... Listen to Xiaoyu said, the eldest brother wants to mediate between the Maple Leaf Sword Sect and the Qingwei Sword Sect?"
"Well, the two of them, one south and one north, are far apart, and there is no conflict of interest, so there is no big enemy, but if they continue like this, they will eventually become enemies and stir up the martial arts,...... For the surname of Fu Suo, make Lu Zhonglian back, let them shake hands and make peace, so as not to set off too much storm!"
Xiao Yuesheng looked at the peach trees that had been pruned by them, and sure enough, the shape was much more crisp and beautiful, and the lady's flower pruning skills became more and more exquisite.
In fact, letting the Maple Leaf and Qingwei Sword Sect make peace invisibly make the Murong family's abacus behind the Maple Leaf Sword Sect come to naught, only by chaos can they fish in troubled waters and take chestnuts in the fire, otherwise, there is no hope for the revival of their Great Yan Kingdom.
However, in the generation of the Murong family, there is only one woman, although Murong Yu is a strange woman and does not let her shave her eyebrows, but after all, she is not a man with shave eyebrows, and it is impossible to be the lord of Yan Kingdom.
Since Murong had no hope of recovering the country and became insane, the responsibility of teaching his son fell to his wife Ah Bi, who saw and experienced the tragedy of recovering the country with his own eyes, how could Abi tolerate his son repeating the mistakes of the past, and since then, the idea of restoring the country of the Murong family has become more and more indifferent.
Unusually, the ambition of the Murong family seems to be inherited from the blood, and when it came to Murong Ye's generation, when he saw the troubled times coming, his ambition suddenly swelled, and the Murong family, which had been painstakingly managed, was more than twice as strong as the original, and the dream of recovering the country was not unrealizable.
But God made a big joke with the Murong family again, in this generation's bloodline, there is only one woman, and the bloodline of Dayan Murong Chui is completely severed.
This caused Murong Ye to waver, and the idea of restoring the country was not resolute, and although Murong Yu was a genius, he was more yearning for the ordinary life of his husband and children, and he was not enthusiastic about the cause of restoring the country.
This kind of contradictory and vacillating mind, Xiao Yuesheng can accurately grasp it, and what he is doing now is to stifle his hope, if he can make the Maple Leaf Sword Sect and the Qingwei Sword Sect turn their rivalry into jade silk, the Murong family will have no chance to take advantage of it, I hope they can settle down.
"That's a good thing of great merit,...... Big brother is going to be good at calling Zhang Qingyun Zhang!" Wan Yanping nodded, and glanced at her husband with a smile, which made his heart skip a beat.
Her last sentence was quite funny, and Xiao Yuesheng almost couldn't help but use the mind reading technique to see if Madame was a pun or a pun.
"Or, Madame will go back with me and entertain Master Zhang in person?...... You're not here, I'm afraid she'll feel sluggish!" Xiao Yuesheng replied as if he didn't care, but his mind was carefully observing, although he was free and easy, he didn't want to finish Yan Ping's sadness.
Although Xiaoyu and the four of them are also wives, a little contact with the women of Mission Hills Villa can be realized that invisibly, the real eldest wife is Wan Yanping.
Wan Yanping glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "No, so as not to hinder the eyes of the eldest brother!"
Xiao Yuesheng suddenly smiled bitterly, it seemed that he was really jealous, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said with a smile: "Or, I'll help Mrs. prune the peach tree here?"
After that, the index finger pointed to the sky, and with a crisp sound of "pop", a branch suddenly fell on the peach tree that Wan Yanping and the three of them were pruning.
Cheng Ying was hiding behind Wan Yanping, subconsciously catching the broken branch like a hidden device, and naturally glanced at the broken branch in his hand, but saw that the broken branch was as smooth as a mirror, better than scissors.
For Xiao Yuesheng's unbelievable martial arts, Cheng Ying has been with him for a long time, and he has long been surprised, but every time he sees it, he still inevitably sighs secretly in his heart, he always has to kill chickens with a knife! Let those people who are extremely heavy on martial arts in the martial arts see it, I am afraid that they will scold, such magical martial arts are actually used to cut tree branches, it is simply a tyrannical thing!
Seeing Xiao Yuesheng's smug face, Cheng Ying would not show the admiration in his heart, looked up at the peach tree behind him, moved his body, and let Wan Yanping completely block his delicate body, but snorted in his mouth, and asked lightly: "Why did you cut off the main branch?"
"I don't want the tree to continue to grow taller, so I naturally want to remove the main branches!" Xiao Yuesheng, who was carefully observing the peach tree, replied angrily, Xiao Yuesheng is also an expert in pruning and raising knots, grafting flowers and stacking stones, but his surname is lazy and he doesn't like to do it.
He often stands by Wan Yanping's side, and when she prunes the flower branches, he likes to pick and choose, either the scissors are not right, or too light or too heavy, or the branch is not coordinated, and the final result will inevitably be pushed away by Wan Yanping.
Cheng Yingxiu's delicate face was slightly flushed, and she couldn't help but snort lightly, secretly annoyed that she had lost for a while, she wanted to cheat this hateful man, looking at his jokes, but she didn't expect him to know these ways of raising a surname.
In Pingshu, Cheng Ying is elegant and gentle, with a temperament like a chrysanthemum, which is very pleasant, but when he saw Xiao Yuesheng, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, always stabbing him a few words-for-tat, which often made Xiao Yuesheng lament, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, from one person to another, it is as easy as abnormal, it turns out that the elegant and gentle Cheng Ying can no longer be seen.
Seeing Xiao Yuesheng's hand raised again, and his little finger was about to stretch out, Wan Yanping hurriedly smiled and pressed his big hand: "Big brother, no, no, I'll just cut it slowly, I don't need your help!"
Xiao Yuesheng turned his head and looked around, the peach groves were everywhere, boundless, and his big hand took advantage of the situation to hold Wan Yanping's soft little hand, shook his head and said: "There are so many trees, when and month can you finish pruning them?"
"Take your time, it's not a matter of urgency,...... By the way, big brother, come over for dinner in the evening, Xiang'er is out of the customs today. ”
Although Wan Yanping was reserved, Xiao Yuesheng was used to being ridiculous in Mission Hills Villa, she didn't notice it for a while, and she didn't notice anything wrong with her husband holding the jade hand, and she didn't notice Lu Wushuang's blushing face on her side.
"Oh?" Xiao Yuesheng couldn't help but glance at the east, there, is where Guo Xiang's retreat cave is, in fact, it is the place where Huang Yaoshi imprisoned the old urchin, Guo Jing went in, and now Guo Xiang has entered again, it seems that the cave is related to the Guo family! Xiao Yuesheng smiled secretly in his heart.
"Okay,...... Hehe, I don't know what kind of mastery Xiang'er has practiced in this retreat!" Xiao Yuesheng happily agreed.
I sighed in my heart, my sister-in-law is really not a mortal, no wonder I can find the Emei faction in the future, I act extraordinary, and my perseverance is amazing, I actually ask for hardships and go to retreat and practice, I can't help but admire.
"Listening to Xiaoxing, Xiang'er is concentrating on practicing the Nine Yin True Scripture, and I don't know how she is practicing now!" Wan Yanping felt a little pity, and sighed long: "Xiang'er and Xiaoxing are the same, they both like to practice martial arts, but it's a pity that Xiaoxing's talent is not as high, I watched from the sidelines, and I felt hard for her...... Blame the poor one!"
Xiao Yuesheng's heart moved, glanced at Wan Yanping, and couldn't help laughing: "Madame, don't you want to help Xiang'er ask for the elixir, right?!"
Wan Yanping couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling, her jade cheeks were slightly red, a little embarrassed, she turned the arc-shaped scissors in her hand, and said coquettishly: "Big brother is wise, since Xiang'er likes martial arts so much, why don't you fulfill her as a brother-in-law?"
"No way, no way!" Xiao Yuesheng shook his head, refused without hesitation, and said with a faint smile: "The time has not yet come, Madam doesn't have to worry!"
Although he does not object to a person's attainment of the Tao and the ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven, he has a very thorough understanding of people's surnames, and rare things are precious, which is a panacea, and once it is easy to obtain, he will not cherish it.
It is extremely difficult to get the elixir from him, even Wan Yanping, without exception, her physique has reached the best, and what elixir she eats has no effect, and her heart is too soft to resist the pleas of others, Xiao Yuesheng will not let others take advantage of it.
Hearing her husband's refusal, Wan Yanping was not too annoyed, this is a common thing, but she just glanced at him fiercely, and didn't say more, knowing that it was useless to say more, she snorted lightly: "Oh, by the way, when the eldest brother comes, don't forget to bring some more Qinglian brew, Sister Cheng and Sister Wushuang both like to drink it!"
"Well, I know, since you don't have to help, you'll leave for your husband!" Xiao Yuesheng nodded, a little weak-hearted, afraid that Yan Ping would talk about Zhang Qingyun again.
Then he turned to Cheng Ying, who was slender and slender, smiled, and shook his hand: "...... Sister Cheng, sister Wushuang, don't be tired!"
At this time, Cheng Ying, unconsciously, had left behind Wan Yanping, and her delicate body in a dark green suit was revealed.
After she heard Yan Ping's words, she just wanted to speak, but Xiao Yuesheng's figure disappeared in an instant, and Cheng Ying's words "waiting for ......" just came out, and the figure was already in the air.
"What's wrong, Sister Cheng?" asked Wan Yanping curiously.
"Alas-!" Cheng Ying charmingly swept a strand of hair hanging down behind her ears, regained her elegant temperament, and sighed: "Sister Ping, you don't need to take Qinglian brew! My cousin and I are not so particular, and we drink the same water!"
Wan Yanping turned to observe the peach tree behind her, continued to prune, pursed her lips, and said with a smile: "How can it be the same?...... Sister Cheng doesn't have to be polite to her eldest brother!"
When Xiao Yuesheng returned to Mission Hills Villa, he unexpectedly found that Murong Yu of the Murong family was actually within the scope of the villa.
