Zhu Yushi is still immersed in the joy of being a father. Li Xiao, Pei Zifu, Lu Ning and others congratulated him one after another. Zhu Yushi said happily: "When I return to Chang'an to set up wine for three days, everyone will come to cheer." Everyone laughed and said, "It must be." Ever since Ling Xue'er entered the door, Liu Shaoqing's eyes have been glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally. Ling Xue'er only found out about his existence at this time, and said with a smile: "Master Liu Zhuang is also here, are you okay?" Liu Shaoqing hurriedly got up and smiled unnaturally: "Miss To, it's good to be here." Ling Xue'er said, "Hey, are you not feeling well? Zhu Yushi smiled secretly in his heart: "Silly girl, he likes you, of course he blushes when he sees you." Liu Shaoqing's expression was slightly embarrassed, his palms were sweating, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, his palms were always dry and stable, only in the dead of night when he remembered Ling Xue's heart lake ripples, and now that he saw her in person, and she was close at hand, how could he not be excited, and said embarrassedly: "Yes...... Because of the hot weather. Zhu Yushi almost didn't laugh out loud, the first time he saw Liu Shaoqing stuttering. But after a little thought, you will find that Liu Shaoqing's love for Xue'er is so sincere and single-minded, ten times better than Luo Tianchu.

In fact, Zhu Yushi also hopes that Liu Shaoqing and Ling Xue'er can finally become married, he understands that even if Xue'er leaves Luo Tianchu, he won't care too much, his heart is full of hegemony, and there is no place to pretend to be a woman, rather than let the three of them get emotionally entangled, it is better to make the two happy.

Ling Xue'er glanced at Liu Shaoqing's sticky hair and dusty clothes, and said with a smile: "I have the impression that the owner of Liu Zhuang likes to be the most exquisite, and it is rare to have a time when he is down. Liu Shaoqing said: "I have been on the boat for more than a month, and there is no condition for bathing and changing clothes, which is why I am so embarrassed." Ling Xue'er smiled: "But the swordsman temperament on the owner of the village has not changed at all. The gorgeous clothes are only the surface, and the swordsman's spirit is the inside, even if the owner of the willow village is ten times down, the swordsman is still a swordsman. The lord of Liuzhuang said: "Miss is too famous, and I really don't dare to be it." Ling Xue'er said: "Say that you deserve it, I have a few unclear points in my recent sword practice, and I hope that the owner of the village will give me some advice." ”

Liu Shaoqing hesitated and said: "Luo Tianchu's swordsmanship is not inferior to mine, Miss can ask him." Ling Xue'er pouted and said: "He is busy all day long, how can he teach me to practice swords." If the owner is busy, forget it, I can find someone else. Liu Shaoqing hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm fine." I'm willing to discuss swordsmanship with the lady.。 Ling Xue'er said happily: "Then thank you to the owner." Lu Fei said: "You have worked hard all the way, it's not too late to take a shower first to relieve fatigue and then chat." Hopefully, the castle lord will also come back by then. ”

An hour later, when it was dark, everyone took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and gathered in the hall to wait for Luo Tianchu. The darts and sailors were already eating and drinking in the other towers, and their hearty laughter could be heard from afar. The cook came twice and asked when the meal would be served, and the cooked meal was hot and hot. Lu Fei Huo Ran got up and said, "The hour has come. Have the soldiers and horses been assembled?" Du Kill said: "Ten thousand soldiers are on standby in the square, ready to set off at any time. Lu Fei said: "Lao Du, Lao Cai, you two go with me, Xiao Zhu, you stay and entertain guests for me." Before Du Shu and Cai Lianhua could answer, they suddenly heard a commotion in the city, and someone shouted happily: "The castle lord is back! Open the city gate quickly, it is the castle lord who is back." Everyone hurried to the city tower to watch, only to see a group of people slowly entering the city. The general headed by Luo Tianchu is Luo Tianchu, and sitting down on the horse is also the black lightning that was lost a few days ago. He was tied to a rope behind his horse, and another horse was tied to it, and a big fat man was tied to it, and his mouth was stuffed with a ball of rags, but it was the general of the Jin Kingdom who was completely embarrassed and drunk, and sure enough, he was caught for the third time. The soldiers in the back all dismounted and walked, each with two or three horses, all carrying booty on their backs.

Luo Tianchu looked up and saw the people on the city tower, and waved to everyone with a smile. Zhu Yushi shouted: "I'm waiting for you, come up and eat." "Luo Tianchu wants to see him the most now, and he is the one he doesn't want to see the most. The brothers were excited to reunite after a long absence, but it seemed that Hall Master Lu and Xue'er were still hiding the bad news from Yuelian, waiting for themselves to speak, and they really didn't know how to say it. Luo Tianchu jumped off his horse and handed over the black lightning to the soldiers to take care of, and sent twenty soldiers to guard the drink, and he hurried up to the city tower.

After seeing everyone, he hugged Zhu Yushi tightly first, with mixed feelings in his heart, thinking that he would explain to him when he was alone. He met Lu Fei and the others in turn, and finally hugged his fist to Liu Shaoqing and said: "Thanks to the help of Lord Liuzhuang, otherwise Xiao Zhu's fleet would not have been able to pass the layers of the Qi army, and there would not have been today's big victory." Liu Shaoqing said lightly: "There is no need to say these words anymore." Luo Tian first knew his temperament, so he was no longer polite.

Ling Xue'er has been smiling like a flower since he came back, but he didn't want to be too enthusiastic in front of everyone, but every tiny demeanor was seen by Liu Shaoqing in his eyes, and the affectionate eyes and shy smile made him sigh. Ling Xue'er deliberately straightened her face and said, "Why have you been there for so long, so everyone is worried about you." Zhu Yushi also said: "Yes, tell me about your pursuit of the enemy." ”

Luo Tianchu said: "If it weren't for the enemy's momentum having been lost, it would be difficult for my hundreds of cavalry to be captured." Although Wanyan Saili is a general who knows the army, he does not have the prestige of sticky Han, and it is difficult to turn the tide. They retreated all the way to the north, and I led my troops to chase them out for more than 200 miles, and obtained countless first-class baggage. After Saili and Sali drank it personally, I broke into the formation alone and stabbed Saili, recaptured the black lightning, and captured Sali Drink, but the Jin soldiers were outnumbered and it was difficult to fight for a long time, so I took it when I saw it was good, and collected the army and returned to the camp. There was so much loot along the way that we marched back on foot. The best trophies of them were the two thousand horses, and our cavalry grew stronger. Lu Fei said with a smile: "The castle lord's battle will definitely cause a sensation in the world, so you don't have to worry about the defeat in the pincer gap." ”

Du Shu laughed and said: "This time, the Jin soldiers lost their armor and were so scared that they almost fell off the pills, and they dared to provoke us in the future." Lu Fei said: "Don't be unobtrusive in front of the eldest lady. Go and tell the kitchen to bring the wine and food hot, and wash the dust for the castle lord. Luo Tianchu touched his stomach and said, "Great, I'm almost hungry and faint." ”

After a while, the meal was ready, and everyone sat around the table, pushing cups and changing lamps, and the house was full of laughter. Liu Shaoqing got up and left the table after eating two bites, he saw Ling Xue'er's face flushed after eating two cups, like a ripe apple, his slightly drunk eyes were glowing with charm, and he looked sideways at Luo Tianchu, not caring about his departure at all. Liu Shaoqing smiled bitterly and left silently. When Du Kill saw him leave the table, he was dissatisfied: "This person is so uninteresting, it is just a lively moment, just leave, so as not to spoil the fun." Lu Fei smiled: "He has given us face by sitting down so far, so don't complain." Du Kill said angrily: "What's the big deal, I just can't get used to his proud appearance." Luo Tianchu said: "People do have proud capital, and they can't accept it." In fact, the owner of Liu Zhuang attaches great importance to righteousness, and he is a man of my generation. Don't say that kind of unfriendly thing again. ”

Du Kill said: "Yes, the subordinates know that they are wrong." Luo Tianchu suddenly said to Ling Xue'er: "What do you think of the owner of Liu Village?" Ling Xue'er smiled: "It's good if you say it." Luo Tianchu sighed secretly, knowing that she would be wrong, and knowing that she only had herself in her heart, she couldn't help but feel guilty, although they will still get married in the future, but some things are like a blank piece of paper, and they can't return to their original appearance after crumbling, not to mention that he has no intention of getting married. Zhu Yushi suddenly said: "After eating this meal, I will go back to Chang'an to see the newborn child, and I have to choose a good name." There was silence for a while, and everyone in the know lowered their eyes and did not dare to look at him. Zhu Yushi found that everyone looked strange, and said uneasily: "What's the matter?" Luo Tianchu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "You come to the room with me, I have something to say to you." Zhu Yushi saw his solemn expression, and said a little scared: "You...... Don't scare me, what is going on?" Luo Tianchu was sad and said, "You just come with me." ”

The two left the table and came to the room, Luo Tianchu saw that his face was pale and bloodless, and said worriedly: "I haven't said why your face is so ugly? Are you sick?" Zhu Yushi's eyes turned red, and he choked up: "Is it about Yuelian?" Luo Tianchu was surprised: "You...... You know?" Zhu Yushi shook his head and said: "In the past few days, Yuelian has always said goodbye to me in her dreams, and asked me if I would go with her, although I don't know where she is going, but I already have a sense of foreluck. You're about to say if something happened to her. Luo Tianchu only felt like a fish in his throat, and it was difficult to speak, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Yes, she has passed away." You...... Mourn and be obedient. He really didn't know how to persuade him, and how he could persuade him to live.

Zhu Yushi didn't react violently, but his body was a little unstable, he sat down on the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip. His lips trembled a few times before he said, "Yue...... Yuelian is in good health and will never die of illness, who hurt him?" Luo Tianchu sat down opposite him and said, "It's Song Lianfeng." He attacked Chang'an with Jin Bing, and he took advantage of the chaos to go to your house and kill Yuelian. At that time, although Xue'er and I rushed to the scene, we still did not save my brother and sister, if you want to say that I am also responsible, it is not good for me to save people, you can scold me a few words, don't hold it in your heart. Zhu Yushi poured another glass of wine and said slowly: "You are my best brother, I know that you must have done your best, how can I blame you." Luo Tianchu said: "I know what you think now, I'll go with you to slaughter Song Lianfeng's beast." Zhu Yushi clenched his fists and said fiercely: "I don't need help from others, and you don't need to." I want to avenge Yuelian myself! I'll go back to Chang'an now. Luo Tianchu had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go back with you." ”

Luo Tianchu informed Lu Fei and them, and then went to Liu Shaoqing to ask him if he would like to go with him, Liu Shaoqing said, "I haven't returned to Sword Qi Villa now, I'm idle, and I'm idle, so it's good to go to Chang'an to live for a while." Then Luo Tianchu, Zhu Yushi, Liu Shaoqing, and Xue'er rushed to Chang'an together. Along the way, Zhu Yushi bowed his head and was silent, and the three of them didn't dare to disturb him, and accompanied him to ride the horse silently. I took a break in the middle, but they were all silent. In the early morning, I returned to Chang'an. The destroyed gates have been replaced, and the gates are closed before the time of the opening of the city. Luo Tianchu opened the city gate under the city.

The corpses in the city have been cleaned, but most of the walls still bear charred marks and blood stains. Fortunately, the smoke has passed, and the city is bathed in mild morning light. Most of the people hadn't gotten up yet, the streets were cold, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed particularly empty, and the four of them turned around the street corner, shuttled through the alleys, and came to the door of the Li Mansion in a short time. I saw a white cloth hanging on the plaque, hanging white flowers, and a pair of elegiac couplets on both sides, "Peach blossoms and flowing water are brought by the wind, where is the beautiful woman Huizi found." At first glance, it was Yan Weifeng's handwriting. They jumped off their horses with heavy hearts, and Zhu Yu slapped the knocker. A porter came to open the door, and when he saw Zhu Yu, he cried: "Master, you are finally back, madam...... She's gone. Zhu Yushi nodded and said, "Where are the people?" The porter said: "Madame's mourning hall is located in the hall, and the coffin is also there, so I will go and inform everyone that the master is back." Zhu Yushi said: "Don't alarm everyone first, I want to be alone with my wife for a while." The old porter cried, "Yes." ”

The white cloth hangs in the mourning hall, solemn and deserted. The offering table is lit with white wax, incense is burned, and all kinds of tributes are placed, and a spiritual plaque in the middle reads "The Spirit of the Good Wife He Yuelian". In the center is a fine Nanmu coffin. At the beginning of Luo Tianchu, Ling Xue'er and Liu Shaoqing took turns to worship with incense. Zhu Yushi didn't say a word, lowered his head and looked at the floor blankly, and said, "You all go out." The three of them didn't dare to say anything, so they retreated without saying a word, and Luo Tianchu gently closed the door. At that moment, a loud cry was heard from inside. (To be continued.) )
