Fang Bo stood outside the door, very angry, and was just about to break in on behalf of the county lord, when Spruce quickly stretched out his hand and stopped him.

Spruce took a deep breath, tried to adjust his condition, and walked into the cabin with a calm gait. He squatted down at Lei Chong and saluted first, and then said: "You are the old man Lei of the Central Plains, the little woman Spruce, you are polite when you see Lei Daxia." ”

Cheng Yitian didn't want her to be humiliated in person, his eyes were urgent, and he begged his father-in-law to raise his noble hand.

Lei Chong raised him, how could he not understand his emotions and intentions? I knew that he had almost died for the woman in front of him. You must know that although he is only a "righteous son", in Lei Chong's heart, this "righteous son" is the sustenance of all his emotions. It is better than being biological. The son loves someone in his heart, and what can he do as a father?

It's just that when he looked at the spruce squarely, he planned to carefully look at the woman who had attracted all the attention of his child, and it didn't matter if he looked at it, Lei Chong "soared" and got up from his seat. The stools were overturned by the foot straps and smashed against the floor with a loud noise.

Fang Bo couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped in from outside the hatch. He is the commander of the Tiandu Water Army, tall and big-eyed, and his eyes are imposing, and he can only be respectful to spruce. After seeing the salute to Spruce, he was not so polite to Lei Chong: "Do you have any other advice?"

Cheng Yitian glared at Fang Bo, ran closer, and helped Lei Chong up.

Lei Chong stretched out his hand, his whole arm trembled, and his voice trembled: "You, you ......" His eyes wandered, he thought about it and thought about it, and muttered in his mouth: "Impossible, impossible!" to prevent himself from losing his words and confiding too much. He closed his eyes and did not look at the spruce's face for a long time before he opened them. And at this moment, the Central Plains hero is worthy of being the Central Plains hero, his eyes are no longer scattered, and his demeanor is not panicked. His thoughts were all sorted out, and he calmly said to Spruce: "Lord Ruixiang, right? Thank you for taking care of the dog in Penglai, the dog is a grass man, a martial artist, and he really can't afford to be favored by the county lord." ”

Cheng Yitian was anxious and interjected: "Father-"

Spruce was even more anxious than him, and quickly said: "Lei Daxia, Brother Yitian and I returned to the Xi Dynasty purely voluntarily. The county lord is all in the past. I'm just a reckless one. Fang Bo shouted softly: "County Lord!" Spruce scolded him: "You are responsible for driving the boat, go and give the order now." I want the Sacred Eagle to go at full speed, and within an hour, I must dock at the shore of the East China Sea. ”

Fang Bo didn't dare to disobey the order, so he withdrew from the door and turned away.

Lei Chong saw it in his eyes, and his face turned pale.

Spruce invited Lei Chong to sit, ordered the little palace maid to change the tea and snacks again, held the teapot herself, poured a cup of tea herself, and offered it with both hands: "Old man Lei, this is the little woman's filial piety to you." ”

Lei Chong looked at the sky and blinked several times before he said, "You put it down, your tea, no matter when, I can't afford to drink it." ”

Cheng Yitian didn't understand his father-in-law's reaction, he chased after Lei Chong and asked, "Uncle Du, Third Brother Xiao, Brother Yin Thirteenth and Fourth Brother Leng, which of them has no past? Spruce has been staying in Strange Flower Valley for a few days, and it actually has nothing to do with Sang Yue, the owner of Strange Flower Valley. Moreover, the matter of Xixinlou, she was completely for me, so she was burdened with so many blood debts. For this reason, I believe that Uncle Du will tell you 1510. ”

"So what?" Leaving the sight of Spruce and Penglai people, Lei Chong said sharply: "Do you want me to watch you who I worked so hard to raise again, fall under the feet of the same woman? You don't know how similar she looks to 'her'!"

"She?" Cheng Yitian heard what his father-in-law said, and asked, "Who is she?" and who is 'she'?"

Lei Chong turned around and didn't answer.

Cheng Yitian asked this question several times, Lei Chong's mouth was closed, and he didn't say a word. Cheng Yitian had no choice but to say something else: "I must take her off the boat." Just like I must come back, return to your stepfather, I really like her, I love her, I must let her live by my side. ”

"Bang!" Lei Chong's two hands grabbed the side of the boat at the same time. His withered hands, each knuckle white. The brows were tightly furrowed, and the eyes that had always been indifferent were full of deep sadness.

He actually cried!

Lei Chong's tearful appearance frightened Cheng Yitian, and Cheng Yitian hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you." I have something wrong to say, you beat me, scold me, don't be so sad. ”

However, Lei Chong was out of control, and he cried for a long time before he took out a handkerchief to wipe his face clean. He said to Cheng Yitian: "It is the mandate of heaven, and it cannot be violated after all." If you insist, take her with you. It's just," Speaking of this, he reminded Cheng Yitian: "Do you know how many people are paying attention after you leave, and how many people are looking for you? The men she sent, like me, wandered the sea twelve hours a day without stopping. I was at sea for a day, and she never gave up hope. Pointing to the seaside, Lei Chong's voice became calmer and calmer: "The boat is about to dock, you and I get off the boat, I find your news, Miss Yan will know soon." Moreover, in the process of spreading, the news that is not particularly encrypted will spread in all directions, and within three days, the whole world will know that you are back. Tian'er, you went to Shangguan Jiannan for Yan Wushuang, and for her, you went to the Lotus Palace nest in Xiangxi, these are all facts that everyone has heard and known. In Xiangxi, you have even publicly admitted your relationship with Yan Wushuang, and emphasized your marriage contract with her to Shangguan Jiannan, the owner of Jianzhuang. And now what's going on? You're going to take that woman off the boat. And what are you going to do with the decisions you made with much fanfare?"

Cheng Yitian was so speechless that he couldn't answer a word.

Lei Chong's eyes were cold, and he continued: "I can not interfere with your preferences, in the end, when you grow up, I can't control you for the rest of your life." Especially who you like, who you love, and who you want to live with for the rest of your life! But Tian'er, a manly man, since you promise, you have to have one. ”

Half an hour later, father and son came to the deck and met with Spruce. At this time, the anchor had been lowered, and Fang Bo sent a sampan to personally hold the oars and send the three of them ashore.

After the three of them went ashore, Fang Bo said to Spruce alone: "The things that were shown to the county lord before, all the subordinates put them in the mansion of Lian County. The county lord can rest assured that those things will be safe at all times if they stay in the property purchased by His Highness. If necessary, the county lord can just take it. Before leaving, he asked again: "Does the county lord really want to stay here?"

Spruce sighed in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'm fine." Cheng Gongzi's martial arts are very good, if he has a way to solve the bone attachment needle, no one can hurt me. ”

Fang Bo thought about it, and he was right, so he bowed down and raised his hands together: "County Lord take care!"

Spruce followed Lei Chong's father and son all the way, and before dark, the three of them stayed at the inn together.

After having dinner in the lobby, Lei Chong said to Cheng Yitian alone: "Tomorrow at the latest, you must make the truth clear to her." ”

Cheng Yitian was helpless, bowed his head and said, "Okay." When he got back to his room, he followed the spruce all the way. Coming to the front of Spruce's room, he still didn't leave. Spruce doesn't know why, just when he doesn't worry about himself. Warmth suddenly rose in the low mood, and Spruce deliberately smiled and said to him: "I'm very tired today, you can go back too, and rest early." ”

Cheng Yitian still didn't move.

Spruce was surprised: "Something, isn't it?" The smile she had just shown suddenly disappeared, she stretched her face, turned around and said coldly: "If it is really for your father-in-law, you can't be with me, then, I ......" I really want to say something refreshing, such as: We will cut it in two, or: Just don't get along with each other from now on. However, after more than 20 days of life at sea, this time is not the same as before, and what can I do without him?

Spruce burst into tears. Cheng Yitian saw it and hurriedly wanted to comfort him. However, his outstretched hand was always driven aside by her negative anger.

Spruce was so sad that she pushed the door into the room, and in turn, shut him out.

Cheng Yitian desperately held on to the door and pleaded: "I have something to say to you, let me finish, and then you drive me away!"

Entered the room and sat down opposite, because he could no longer avoid it, he could only explain everything related to Yan Wushuang clearly.

"I really didn't expect that I would go to Penglai and snatch you back from the Black Wing Eagle King. Cheng Yitian admits that he is despicable, but the matter has come to this point, he can only defend himself in this way. He grabbed Spruce's hand, and only hated to show her that he had truly escaped: "From beginning to end, I only love you alone, and there will be no change in the past, now, and in the future." ”

"She sent you to the Valley of Desperation?"

Cheng Yitian was stunned.

"She kowtowed one step at a time on the mountain road, and kowtowed to Bai Qi, the desperate valley master, so Bai Qi healed your wounds. Your life was saved by begging for nothing, but strictly speaking, she also saved it, right?"

Cheng Yitian couldn't argue, so he could only nod.

"Then you also said that you chose to be with her because of the situation. ”

"I-" The thought in her mind was spinning rapidly, and Cheng Yitian searched desperately, trying to find a word to make her not too disappointed and sad. However, I couldn't find it when I searched and searched.

"You loved her, otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to the Lotus Palace to find her father for her under the premise of being widely implicated. You know who her father is, you also know my background, whose daughter I am, who is my real mother, who is my real father. You tell me now that you have a marriage contract with Shangguan Jiannan's daughter, you have a lot of past with her, she pays for you and you pay for her, your interaction is no less than me and yours, and your memory is not shallower than me and you. You want me to be your second room, and after Yan Wushuang marries you with the glory of Jianzhuang and Xuanmen, let me follow you again if my name is not right, right?"

Cheng Yitian was speechless.

The flame of hope that had just been kindled by the spruce was tragically extinguished. The darkness was heavier than the first time she had returned, and the mountains weighed on her head. "I gave everything to be with you. What are you going me to do now? What are you going to do with me?" she cried and yelled at him.

Cheng Yitian cried distressedly and held her hand: "It's not like this, it's not like this." ”

Spruce didn't want to hear and waved his hand away repeatedly.

Cheng Yitian couldn't do anything, so he struggled for a long time and said: "When I see Miss Yan again, I'll explain it to her." I love you, and I will not marry a second woman as my wife except you. ”

"Then you're going to give up?"

"Spruce—"

"Let's go. ”

"Spruce!"

"I'm very tired now, I want to rest, I can't sleep when you're here, and I can't sleep well, so, please leave, okay?"

"Spruce, I ......"

Spruce opened the door, staring at him with an ice-like gaze without emotion.

Cheng Yitian sighed, walked to the door slowly, and still said: "I will settle this matter properly, you believe me." However, even this did not change Spruce's attitude in the slightest. He had no choice but to say, "Then you rest first." When she went out, she was not at ease, so she grabbed the door and said to her through the crack in the door, "I will come to call you tomorrow morning." You don't really like to lie in bed, do you? Before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed shut with a "bang!"

Cheng Yitian withdrew his hand that was almost clipped, and reluctantly returned to his room. At night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, he was tortured by the bone needle for nearly an hour. In the early hours of the morning, I squinted for a while, but I dreamed that the woman who looked like a spruce kept calling him "Tian'er" and "Tian'er". As soon as the day dawned, he screamed, "Mother, don't go!" and turned over and sat up. In a daze, he forgot what he had just called, and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, and he hurriedly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and came to the door of the spruce room.

"Giggles," he knocked softly on the door. There was no answer inside. The door was pushed and it was tethered from the inside. Cheng Yitian thought that the spruce was still sleeping, and seeing that it was still early, he found a place to sit down next to him. After waiting nearly an hour, he knocked on the door again. "Giggles", there is still no answer inside.

Cheng Yitian was in a hurry, asked Xiao Er, who was sending water, found a thin-bladed knife, moved the door latch, pushed the door and saw that the room was empty, and the spruce that was supposed to live in it was gone.

Cheng Yitian looked for it in the room first, but he couldn't find anyone in the corners. When I turned to the window, I saw that there was a closed window, and a thin silk thread was tied to the wooden pin that held it in place. This thread, if infused with real power, can be used as a wrench. The spruce is not weak in internal strength, and it is not uncommon to use this kind of thing to close the open window from the outside. When I opened the window, I saw a big elm tree growing outside, and the canopy of the tree had just reached the second floor. With this tree as a foothold, according to the spruce skills, you can indeed easily jump out of the walls of the inn.

According to estimates, the spruce slept with his clothes together yesterday and left the inn not long after. Cheng Yitian slept until dawn and sat outside the door for an hour. said that his martial arts were all lost, he is now an ordinary man, even if his skills are still there, he can chase him out with the method of "no trace in the air", after such a long time, even her shadow can't be chased back.

Rao is like this, and Cheng Yitian can't help but chase it. Running out of the inn, he chased after him to the sea. After chasing for a long time, I felt that the spruce should not go back to Penglai, so I turned around and ran inland. Ran through the town where I was staying, and ran to the deserted suburbs. He was sore and hungry. What's even more sad is that he hasn't drunk a sip of water for almost a day, and his throat and eyes are so dry that they are almost smoking.

I barely moved my feet forward, but I was hungry and tired, and suddenly stumbled under my feet, and the whole person rolled to the ground. Before I could crawl, my body tightened. A net caught him and rose up. A gang of bandits ran out of the corner of the ambush.

At the head is a mustache and holds a short, small slice knife. Standing next to him were men dressed in homespun clothes, one of whom had a big beard and a thin knife, and leaned next to the mustache and laughed: "After working for so long, I finally got one." A group of people grabbed Cheng Yitian out of the net, and then tied Cheng Yitian to a tree.

However, they were particularly disappointed that the prince of Yicheng, who had just returned to this land, did not even have a copper plate in his pocket. Watching the thieves take out the kettle and take the steamed buns and sit down to complain about Liantian, Cheng Yitian was very unproductive and swallowed his saliva again and again.

The bearded man came up to him and asked, "Well, boy, isn't your home far from here?"

Cheng Yitian said: "If you give me saliva to drink now, I promise that when my family finds you, not only will they not beat you, but they will also give you a piece of silver." ”

The bearded man raised his hand and was about to start beating, but was stopped by the mustache who came in time.

The eyeballs were rolling and rolling in the sockets, and the mustache "hehe" smiled and said, "If you want to drink water, it's easy." After taking the water bag, he fed Cheng Yitian and took a small sip. This water, for those who are very thirsty, is as sweet as a rain, and at the same time it is difficult to obtain precious. Cheng Yitian smacked his lips and begged, "Give me a little more to drink." How about I buy it with money, a tael of silver for a mouthful of water, and I don't care about your fault for kidnapping me?"

"Come on. The mustache called someone to look for a pen and paper, and when he found a pen and paper, he dipped the pen in ink, and wrote a contract crookedly. There were empty taels of silver on it, and the other people who made the deed voluntarily bought water with the silver to drink. fed the previous bag of water to Cheng Yitian in a small sip and a small sip, and finally calculated a total of thirty-five taels of silver.

Cut off Cheng Yitian's thumb and drew it with blood, and after it was over, the mustache shook the contract, and said to everyone proudly: "How about it, I said that the money will be very fast in this business." After three days of ambush, he caught such a person. Thirty-five taels of silver, and one of us will receive a little more. Patted Cheng Yitian's face: "Let's talk about it now, where should we go to get the money?"

The beard shouted: "I will let you go when I get the money." ”

Others chimed in: "Yes, yes, we want money, and when the money comes, we will release people." ”

Cheng Yitian said an address.

The beard didn't know what it was, the mustache thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be quite close, there are two stone lions facing north in the middle of Nanmen Street in Langshan County, it really looks like a rich family." ”

One of the little thieves whispered, "No, big brother." Isn't the county government located in the middle of Nanmen Street in Langshan County?"

Another thief also came to his senses: "Yes, yes, there are two stone lions, and there is only the yamen on that street. ”

"!" scolded the mustache and bearded man. The mustache was even more angry: "Your grandson's is to entertain your grandfather, right?" He took a rattan and pumped it at Cheng Yitian. The sound of rattan pumping on the flesh sounded, and Cheng Yitian caught a glimpse of a faint purple floating out from behind the distant tree, and raised his voice and said loudly: "I just lied to you, and I lied to all of you." Being a thief also needs brains, no brains is like making money, and you have to earn thirty-five taels at once. How much water do you have in that bag? I'll drink it in three or four sips, and you can fill me with thirty-five sips. Not only kidnapping, but also blackmailing, of course, only the county yamen's prison is the most suitable for you to go to. ”

The mustachioed thief was so angry that he screamed "wow", and the rattan waved vigorously and whipped on the flesh and skin.

Cheng Yitian gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth to provoke: "You have the ability to kill me, I bet that you are poor and crazy, and you want to borrow me to make money, but you only dare to beat me, not kill me." You just tied me up like this, and you beat and beaten, and you didn't dare to fight. What should I do if I die of wound infection? I must eat and drink well, otherwise I will go on a hunger strike, starve to death, or die of drying, and you will not waste all your efforts. ”

The mustache was so angry that he picked up the knife: "You, you, you- I'll kill you right now, I'll see how bad I can be." ”

"Come on, kill quickly, if you don't kill you, you're a man, no, it's not a person, you don't have the strength to make a living, occupy the road and rob, you are all pigs and dogs with no ability and no blood!"

"Ahh

Seeing that the knife was about to stab Cheng Yitian's body, a lilac figure floated over. Spruce, who had been following Cheng Yitian and hadn't gone far, bumped his elbow and knocked away the beard, which was more than two years bigger than her. The mustache was stunned and swung his knife to slash. As soon as the knife was raised, his wrist was cold, and the spruce had already bled him.

This group of people are all reckless men who have never learned kung fu, and several of them were injured in three or two strokes, either their wrists were cut or their necks were cut.

Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't even climb out of the belt.

The spruce didn't look at it, and said with his back to them, "If you don't want to die, get out!"

The mustachioed gang got the pardon and got up and ran away.
