Even though Chen Pingan still doubts A Liang, it is undeniable that A Liang is a very interesting person.
He has a donkey that he never rides, and he has a lot of fun bickering with the little kid Li Huai. He only wants to trick Lin Shouyi into drinking, saying that all the good things in the world are nothing but good wine and beautiful women.
He would circle around the boy when Chen Ping'an was walking, saying that once he mastered this boxing technique, he would definitely become domineering, and he would just beat people randomly. It's a pity that in the world, he pays attention to hitting people but not in the face, so he is hurt and angry.
As a character, it is best to be like him, who convinces others with virtue and defeats enemies with appearance.
He would also brag to Zhu He about his unparalleled swordsmanship, saying that once he holds the sword, it would be so awesome that even he would be scared, let alone his opponent. Zhu He smiled and nodded in agreement, but the girl Zhu
Lu just didn't believe this evil, and insisted on A Liang using the bamboo sword to demonstrate, and she didn't need him to perform an overwhelming swordsmanship. If he could cut down a tree as big as the mouth of a bowl, she would lose. A Liang said that it was not appropriate to use swordsmanship today.
Although he has long since reached the realm of the Earthly Immortal where everything can be used as a sword, the sword must be drawn according to his mood. Is a master still a master if he has no quirks? Therefore, he is only interested in those days when there are strong winds, heavy snow, and heavy rain, such as that
In the pouring rain, after drawing my sword, I could move so fast that no water would touch my body.
Zhu Lu pouted at me and turned around and ran away. A Liang was not annoyed, he just smiled and said to Zhu He, "Xiao Zhu, your girl has a bad temper. Of course, if she really can't get married in the future, don't worry.
I, A Liang, can give you a huge advantage and call you father-in-law.
After Zhu He did that, he no longer came to A Liang to ask for help. A Liang, who had no choice but to drink alone, felt a little disappointed.
Unfortunately, a few days later, when they were approaching the Tiefu River, it started to drizzle. Although it wasn't heavy, it was still raining.
Zhu Lu immediately stopped A Liang, who was leading the donkey and was busy walking. The latter looked confused and asked the girl, girl, what are you doing? Oh, you mean to show you how to practice swordsmanship when it rains, haha, I remember
Remember, little girl, please don’t look at me like a liar, okay? You are just too young and don’t know the many rules of the worldly masters. Do you know that the rain is too light, even if I
Just using a weed as a sword would make me feel sorry for that grass, oh no, I feel sorry for my excellent swordsmanship. So when it rains heavily one day, I will take action and protect the Iron Talisman River to cut it in half.
If it's over, then even if you cry and shout for me to accept you as my disciple, I may not nod.
Zhu He dragged his daughter away without saying a word.
The light rain was hazy, and without delaying his journey, A Liang stretched out his hand to support his bamboo hat, shook his head and sighed. He was leading the white donkey at the front, and his back looked a little lonely at that moment.
What's even more unfortunate is that two days later, as if God opened his eyes, it rained heavily.
As a result, A Liang shouted angrily, "What are you looking at? I have flowers on my face? Why don't you go hide from the rain? What should I do if my bones are damaged by the water from my treasure vase? Look at when I draw my sword and I can't see. Do you have any compassion?"
Heart?! Didn’t you see that our treasure bottle was freezing to death?
In the end, when everyone squatted under the towering tree to hide from the rain, everyone stared at Aliang.
Li Huaipi smiled, imitating his mother's tone, and said earnestly, Ah Liang, it's a good thing it only rained and didn't thunder today, otherwise I would have been the first to hit you, the Sword Immortal.
Zhu Lu just sneered.
Even Lin Shouyi, who had a cold temperament, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Zhu He is now completely unwilling to talk to this bullshit Fengxue Temple boss. He chews dry food by himself. After many subtle and subtle tests along the way, Zhu He feels that this weird Aliang is indeed a military strategist.
He is a monk in the ancestral court, but he is definitely not an earthly immortal master of swordsmanship. If it is true, let alone A Liang calling him his father-in-law, it would be no problem for him to call him his father-in-law.
Along the way, Li Baoping talked much less than when he just left the blacksmith shop. He just silently followed his junior uncle Chen Pingan, and was unwilling to let Zhu He and Zhu Lu help carry the basket.
Chen Ping'an was practicing the sword furnace, which was already used by others.
A Liang felt a little uncomfortable when Li Huai and the others looked at him. He turned around and faced them, took off the silver wine gourd from his waist, and drank sips of wine.
The heavy rain gradually stopped, and A Liang suddenly stood up and said that he would go out to find a branch that he could find. He wanted to show them the superior swordsmanship. However, when everyone looked at each other, A Liang said that if he couldn't find it, there was nothing he could do about it.
It is not easy for an immortal to find something that is convenient to him, just like it is for an ordinary person to find a wife.
Everyone looked at A Liang, whose bamboo hat was a little crooked, and no one was willing to speak.
A Liang was walking up the hillside alone. It was slippery due to the rain, and he almost stumbled and fell. He quickly pretended to do a few fist moves, as if he was warming up his hands for the sword.
As a result, as soon as A Liang's figure disappeared from sight, the rain suddenly became heavy without any warning, which caught people off guard.
Chen Pingan opened his eyes and saw the donkey not far away under the tree. He thought about it, stood up and said, "I'm going to find A Liang."
Zhu He also stood up and said, "Let me accompany you. It's easy for things to happen in this weather."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "No, I have encountered this kind of weather many times when I was burning charcoal and collecting herbs in the mountains. Don't worry. Besides, I need Uncle Zhu to take care of me here, so I can rest assured."
Zhu He thought for a moment and nodded, "Chen Ping'an, then be careful."
Chen Ping'an rubbed Li Baoping's head and said softly: "I'll be back as soon as I go."

Not only did he have to personally oversee the construction of the government office in the east of the town, but also in order to agree on the location of the Wusheng Temple in Wenchang Pavilion, his parents, official Wu Yuan, were busy all day long. Except for the four surnames and ten clans that had already moved out of the town,
Six, there are eight left. Dong Hu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, relied on the archway building to inaugurate the monument. The Dragon Crossing the River overcame the local snake Wu Yuan. Now those local old oilmen are all in Fulu Street and Tao
Ye Xiang saw Wu Yuan's jokes, but he still had to visit each house. Wu Yuan was so busy that his lips were chapped and his throat was about to smoke. As soon as he returned to the Supervisory Office, he slumped down on his chair and started talking.
He tugged at his collar and stared blankly at the carvings on the beams, his face gloomy and uncertain.
Standing next to him was the literary secretary Lang who was born in a wealthy family. Today he accompanied Wu Yuan to visit the various masters. It was not that he was rejected, but there were a lot of soft nails, and they were passing the buck. This is about whether Lao Cishan can build Wenchang.
Pavilion, you have to ask the Liu family’s master. The one who said that the Fairy Tomb is the Wei family’s largest acreage. Only the Wei family’s old master nodded can we sit down and talk. Then the Liu family and the Wei family said that such a big thing involving the ancestors’ inheritance must be gathered together.
Get up and discuss it carefully, otherwise you will be stabbed in the back by your neighbors.
The secretary was also holding back his anger, but he had been exposed to it since childhood and was very familiar with the rules of the officialdom. He knew that being an official was not easy, and it was even more difficult for his parents who were in charge of the government. Therefore, he did not become angry. He told the people around him about the news.
The colleagues who came over gently shook their heads, indicating that they should not add fuel to the fire for the time being and leave Mr. Wu in peace.
Wu Yuan suddenly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little hungry for the drinks in our capital right now."
The son of the aristocratic family then sat down and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the Li family has moved to the capital. Otherwise, the head of the family, Li Hong, could help with the matchmaking. Some things could be discussed in private, which would make things much easier. Our family still has a good relationship with the Li family in the capital."
Yes, if we speak over there, the Li family in the small town here will definitely sell this face."
Wu Yuan glared and reprimanded: "You are stupid. The connections accumulated by your family are not equal to your connections. Every time you use them, your status in the family will drop a lot. This kind of thing is not something you have done before.
It's as simple as asking for a plaque and a list of books, so don't mix things up blindly."
The family member smiled and said, "Aren't I worried that Mr. Wu will get into trouble?"
Wu Yuan sneered and said, "If I were a quick-thinking person, I would have broken the legs of the father-in-law of Shangzhu Kingdom and elope with his precious daughter."
The whole hall was silent.
The family member suppressed his laughter and said in a low voice: "Master Wu can just brag about such big words here."
Wu Yuan slumped back on the chair comfortably, not feeling the embarrassment of being exposed at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "Of course, if my father-in-law is really here to come, I would have gone to bow down and bring tea and water."
, I have to ask Mr. Shangzhuguo if you are tired all the time, or else you can rub your shoulders."
Laughter broke out in the lobby of the government office.
Even the two Wu Secretary Langs at the door, with gold embroidered swords hanging on their waists, looked at each other and smiled.
The moment Wu Yuan sat upright, everyone in the lobby subconsciously held their breath and concentrated. Wu Yuan said calmly: "The Li family has moved out, and the Lu family is determined to be a coward and ignore everything. Mrs. Zhao recommended
It is said that the ancestor is in ill health, and everything can be decided only after she gets better. The Song family is the deepest in the town. The four major surnames on Fulu Street own ten large dragon kilns together. Two of them under the Li family have been transferred to
The Wei and Liu families in Taoye Lane."
"Today you will gather together all the scattered documents in the government office and compile it into a relationship diagram of the four surnames and ten clans. I would like to see how this small pond is a mixed bag. To say the least, even if you take the first few big
If the family has no idea, then we will find the second-class family. In addition to the few at the bottom of the ten clans, there is also the very rich Ma family, who always abides by the ancestral precepts and refuses to move to Taoye Lane, Fulu Street. They have
As for the two kilns, since I am also the kiln superintendent, do I have the final say on the scale of these dragon kilns? I will bring these families together and support them. At the same time, I will spend money to go to the Yamen.
I don’t feel bad that all the savings of the agency have been wiped out. I don’t believe you can defend Lao Cishan, but the Immortal Tomb is such a big place, and once the spoils are unevenly distributed, how long can you protect it?”
"The water is shallow and there are many monsters in the temple, but the wind is strong. When the pond bottoms out and the temple collapses, how can these old foxes admit their mistakes and apologize to me when I see them?"
When the magistrate said the last words, he should have been full of energy. He never wanted to lament and went back, "I can't live this life. When will it end?! Sir, where is the promise of being drunk on the beauty's knees? Yamen
Everyone in the office is either an old woman or a child, and there is not a single young woman. Is there a place where there are outstanding people and beautiful women?"
At this time, the handsome young man with the mole between his eyebrows was blocked by two servants. The young man smiled and said: "Master Wu, why don't I write you a letter and ask Yuan Zhuguo in the capital? I can help you get two little girls with cute eyebrows."
Maid come here?"
Wu Yuan immediately stood up with an embarrassed look on his face. He couldn't reveal his husband's identity as a national master, and he didn't have the shame or courage to scold him in order to hide his identity from others.
Wu Yuan was full of doubts in her heart. She didn't know why her husband came to the government office, and it seemed that he didn't mind revealing his identity at all.
Cui Chan was too lazy to argue with those civil and military secretaries. He turned around and said, "Follow me."
Wu Yuan stretched out his hand to everyone in the room twice, signaling them to be silent, and quickly walked out of the door alone. When two military secretaries who were born in the battlefield wanted to follow them closely, Wu Yuan still waved his hands and refused.
Walking on the quiet gravel path, Cui Chan asked: "Have all the Lu prisoners entered the mountain?"
Wu Yuan shook his head and said: "There are still six hundred prisoners left who have not yet reached the northernmost mountain pass of Junshen Mountain. This group of people has the most noble status. Most of them are descendants of the Lu family's meritorious nobles. They are not very young either. They are fourteen or five years old."
Between the ages of 20 and 20."
Wu Yuan asked doubtfully: "Sir, didn't you arrange this before?"
Cui Chan said angrily: "There are unforeseen circumstances. Your husband and I are now in Longyou Shoal, so I have to confirm with you again. Don't worry about anything now, hurry up and rush to the entrance of Shenjun Mountain to find a
The young prisoner named Xia Yulu arranged for him to go to the capital."
