But as soon as the words were spoken, Shangguan Xiaowan said resolutely: "No, not to mention that the Kongtong faction suffered heavy casualties and lost their vitality. Even if they dare to attack again, the three sisters Qianwen and Aunt Shan can handle it.
Already."
Nangong Haotian also agreed and said: "Gutou, just go with sister Xiaowan. We can't encounter any more accidents or setbacks."
The old man responded respectfully.
Shangguan Xiaowan urged: "Then let's leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cabin first.
When Liu Qianwen, Zhao Ling'er, Xue Bing'er and Aunt Shan saw Gutou coming out behind Shangguan Xiaowan, they knew they were about to go ashore and followed them outside the cabin.
As soon as Shangguan Xiaowan and others walked out of the cabin door, they saw Xing'andian Town half a mile away. The houses were side by side, the village trees were lush, and the docks were crowded with ships, with masts like forests, and they were crowded with carriages and horse travelers. Although they were still half a mile away,
From inside and outside, the hustle and bustle can still be heard clearly.
Seeing this situation, Shangguan Xiaowan knew that although Xing'andian was a big town, it was also a place where dragons and tigers were hiding, where nine people were mixed up in right and wrong.
While thinking about it, he looked back at Liu Qianwen and the others, and warned them with concern: "If something happens, sail the boat away from the shore, Gutou and I will catch up along the coast."
Liu Qianwen and the others respectfully agreed.
But Aunt Shan said with concern: "Girl, you have to be more careful. I don't think this Xing'an store is a very peaceful place."
Shangguan Xiaowan nodded and said, "I know, you have to take good care of brother Nangong."
After saying this, he turned around and walked along the plank to get off the boat. Gutou did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed behind.
The two walked across the beach and walked ashore. They decided not to go to the pier and enter the town directly from outside the town to avoid possible accidents.
After passing through the vast fields outside the town and crossing a small stream, we entered Xing'an Store through an alley.
I saw that the streets in Xing'andian were long and narrow, and the houses were cluttered. However, the market was extremely prosperous, especially with many restaurants. The streets were also filled with carriages, horses and goods preparing to cross the river, and pedestrians were walking around one after another.
Precisely because this is a wharf and ferry, the business in the market is booming and there are many tourists coming and going, so the Beggar Gang set up a sub-helm here.
The old man still remembers that the leader of the beggar gang here is a one-armed Ma San who is good at martial arts.
As soon as he entered the town street, the old man looked around to see where there was a little flower squatting.
It must have been a long time since lunch, and most of the little flowers were hiding in the grass huts to sleep in. After thinking about it, there was not a single shadow of a flower child in the whole street.
After looking at it, the old man said respectfully in a low voice: "Girl, let's go to the east entrance of the town to look for her."
Shangguan Xiaowan nodded in agreement.
A beautiful and heroic girl like Shangguan Xiaowan is very eye-catching when she appears in such a complicated place.
After thinking about it, the two of them advanced less than a few dozen feet toward the east town entrance, and were already followed by twenty or thirty well-dressed martial arts figures armed with swords.
These people are all fiercely competitive, making trouble out of nothing, and they are the ones who only make trouble when they are full, and they will follow the beautiful girls and make comments, which is something that no decent person would disdain.
Since Shangguan Xiaowan and Gutou did not want to do anything, they walked forward alone, and more and more boring people gathered together who thought that the old and the young were easy to bully.
The more noisy and noisy, the more crowded the scene is, the more attention it attracts and the more curious it is. After thinking about it, many businessmen in the two street shops couldn't help but run out of the shop to have a look.
At this moment, I heard an excited voice suddenly rang out on the steps in front of a restaurant, shouting: "Hall Master Zhang, Hall Master Zhang, that's not Miss Xiaowan, the young lady of our chief branch and the Southeast President."
The old master on the quarter helm?"
With such a shout, not only the dozens of boring people following the street were shocked and stopped one after another, but even Shangguan Xiaowan and Gutou were also startled.
Shangguan Xiaowan and Gutou followed the source of the sound, turned around and saw an old man in his seventies, dressed in blue cloth clothes, with a magic weapon on his back, with piercing eyes. At this time, two blue cloth workers were looking at him.
Accompanied by a big man with a steel knife stuck in his back, he walked down the steps of the restaurant and hurriedly squeezed in this way.
Looking at the clothes of the three people, Shangguan Xiaowan recognized that they were all the clothes of the Northwest Branch Helms that had been modified by her.
The two people at the back looked familiar, maybe they were the incense owner or the deacon on the helm, but I didn't recognize the strong old man in his seventies who was carrying a crutch and was Huai.
I saw the old man hurriedly came to him, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Slaying the Dragon, I advocate that Yongzheng meet Miss Xiaowan."
The other two big men with swords on their backs also hurriedly moved forward, clasped their fists and bowed, "Yan Yong and Hu Shan, the deacons of the Tulong Hall, please see the girl."
It was inconvenient for Miss Shangguan to interrogate the origins of Hall Master Zhang who was carrying an iron crutch in public. Moreover, based on the behavior of Hall Master Zhang, he seemed to be a decent person.
After thinking about it, he hurriedly clasped his fists and returned the salute, and said humbly: "Palace Master Zhang and the two deacons, please excuse me."
After finishing speaking, he pointed at Gu Gu's head with a solemn hand and introduced: "This is the head of Gu Gu."
The old man Zhang Yongzheng hurriedly clasped his fists and said humbly: "I have admired you for a long time."
The old man also smiled and clasped his fists and said humbly: "I hope Hall Master Zhang will give you more advice in the future."
The other two deacons seemed to have already met the old man, and they chatted with each other very warmly.
The old man Zhang Yongzheng waited until the two deacons and the old man had stopped talking to each other, then he clasped his fists towards Shangguan Xiaowan and asked humbly: "My friend Liu Jingwei's beloved daughter Liu Qianwen, I heard that she went to Tianshan with the girl. I don't know if I can accompany the girl this time."
return?"
When Shangguan Xiaowan heard the mention of Liu Qianwen, she suddenly realized it, and said with excitement and surprise: "You are the old hero Binguai Zhang that Sister Qianwen once mentioned..."
Binguai Zhang Yongzheng quickly said humbly: "Yes, he is the old man."
Shangguan Xiaowan said excitedly: "Sister Qianwen is on the boat by the river, let's go now!"
Binguai Zhang Yongzheng was very happy in his heart. He responded respectfully and said "please" with solemn hands.
Shangguan Xiaowan didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and walked directly out of the town.
The old leader, Hall Master Zhang and the two deacons Hu Yan followed hurriedly behind.
Those boring people who followed Shangguan Xiaowan and made comments were so frightened that they ran away as early as when Zhang Yongzheng was signing up to salute Shangguan Xiaowan.
As soon as they arrived outside the town, Shangguan Xiaowan couldn't help but asked with concern: "How come the old hero Zhang was hired to serve as the leader of the Northwest General Branch?"
Binguai Zhang Yongzheng sighed and said: "It's a long story."
Shangguan Xiaowan knew that it was not something that could be explained in just a few words, so she had to change her words and ask: "You are here this time..."
Zhang Yongzheng hurriedly said: "They are daily necessities for the purchasing department."
Shangguan Xiaowan continued to ask with concern: "Farmland reclamation work in mountainous areas..."
Zhang Yongzheng said hurriedly: "That is the responsibility of Master Liu of Zhulong Hall. Now he has cultivated vegetable gardens, fruit orchards, and more than ten hectares of terraced fields near the mountains. There is a surplus for self-sufficiency."
Shangguan Xiaowan frowned and asked, "Who is Hall Master Liu you are talking about?"
Binguai Zhang Yongzheng said, "He is also a close friend of Liu Daxia."
Although Shangguan Xiaowan felt strange and couldn't figure out why Liu Qianwen's two uncles went to the northwest mountainous area and became the masters of the northwest branch, the five of them had already arrived at the river bank, and the boat and the large ship were anchored below.
On the river beach, I could only keep my confusion in my heart.
Just as the five people rushed to the river bank to look at Xue Bing'er, who was standing under the large window of the painting boat and looking out, her eyes lit up and she blurted out: "Brother Haotian, Sister Qianwen, and Sister Xiaowan are back.
…”
Before he finished speaking, Aunt Shan's surprised voice came from the inner cabin, saying: "How could it be so fast?"
Xue Bing'er continued to say urgently: "There are also three people wearing blue cloth clothes!"
While they were talking, Nangong Haotian, Liu Qianwen, Zhao Linger and Aunt Shan had already rushed out of the cabin.
Just as they were running out, Shangguan Xiaowan and five others had already arrived under the boat and were hurrying up along the plank.
Liu Qianwen saw Binguai Zhang Yongzheng at the first sight. She called out to Zhang Shibo and flew out.
Nangong Haotian also recognized Binguai, and hurriedly followed him out after thinking about it, but he was particularly confused in his heart.
As soon as Binguai Zhang boarded the boat, Liu Qianwen rushed forward and hugged him, crying loudly.
We hadn’t seen each other for three years, and then we suddenly met again, and I couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Aunt Shan was afraid of attracting the attention of someone on the shore, so she said humbly: "Please take a seat in the cabin."
After saying this, Liu Qianwen sobbed and left the old man Zhang Yongzheng.
At this time, Nangong Haotian stepped forward and said humbly: "Hello, Senior Zhang!"
Bin Guaizhang also hurriedly wiped his tears and returned the greeting: "Hello Haotian, we have been together for almost three years in a flash."
Nangong Haotian thought that he had gone to Fengjundu as soon as he got off the mountain. In order to find Yunli Wuying to retrieve his father's sword, he killed Shan Gongbao, causing Liu Qianwen to be trapped in the Lotus Festival Temple.
Recalling the past events is vivid and vivid, as if it happened not long ago, but it was already three years ago.
As my mind raced, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. I could only smile sadly and said: "I went to visit Liu Shibo at that time in order to salvage my father's treasured sword. I didn't expect that three years had passed..."
Before he finished speaking, Binguai Zhang suddenly said with a smile: "It's only a matter of time before Haotian can find the sword. As long as Haotian and the Demon Dragon Slayer King reach an agreement, he can release the Shadowless Liu Daxia in the clouds to find the sword for Haotian."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Liu Qianwen was so surprised that she burst into tears and asked urgently: "My father is still alive now?"
Binguai Zhang nodded happily and said, "He lives in a house in the main branch."
Liu Qianwen looked up to the sky with excitement and cried: "Thank you so much..."
Before she finished speaking, she was so excited that she burst into tears.
Nangong Haotian was happy to hear that Liu Jingwei was not dead, because it gave him more hope of recovering his father's sword.
While thinking about it, he hurriedly raised his hands and said excitedly: "Senior Zhang, please come to the cabin to serve tea."
Binguai Zhang now knew about Nangong Haotian's martial arts skills and his great reputation in the martial arts world, and hurriedly said: "Young hero, please clear me first."
However, Nangong Haotian insisted on abducting Zhang Yongzheng to go first.
After entering the hall and taking a seat, Gutou had been brought tea by the captain of the ship and poured a bowl for everyone.
Nangong Haotian introduced the two parties again, and let Bin Guaizhang get to know Zhao Ling'er, Xue Bing'er and Aunt Shan.
Liu Qianwen waited until Nangong Haotian finished his introduction and asked impatiently: "Uncle Zhang, how did you end up at the headquarters in the northwest mountainous area?"
When Binguai Zhang asked, he first sighed and said: "Since you left Fengjundu, your uncle Liu Zhengzhao and Liu Yanzhao, Yinxiao Xiaoyaoke, and I have been running around, contacting the righteous and chivalrous masters of various factions, and determined to work together to eliminate
The Demonic Dragon-Slaying Castle of the Heavenly Demon Cult..."
Shangguan Xiaowan was eager to know about Bin Guaizhang going to the Northwest General Branch to serve as the hall leader, so she interjected and asked: "But how come you became the hall master of the Northwest General Branch?"
Binguai Zhang said seriously: "At first, I was threatened by the Demon Dragon Slayer King, but later I was determined to do it."
After saying this, Nangong Haotian and others all exclaimed in surprise, but listened more attentively.
Binguai Zhang Ze continued: "In the first year, I did contact a lot of chivalrous people. However, just as I was preparing to go to Kanto, I suddenly met the Demon Dragon Slayer King Demon Dragon Slayer King..."
Liu Qianwen looked shocked when she heard this, and asked anxiously: "He didn't want to kill you two at that time?"
Bin Guaizhang shook his head and said: "No, he just asked us if we wanted to meet your father Liu Jingwei..."
Nangong Haotian suddenly asked: "Did the two seniors believe it at that time?"
Bin Guaizhang said helplessly: "It's okay if you don't believe me. In terms of martial arts, I'm not as good as him, and I can't run away. And seeing that he was serious about what he said, I could only follow him with half-doubt."
Shangguan Xiaowan asked with concern: "He said at that time that Liu Shibo was under house arrest at the Northwest Branch?"
Binguai Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, that's what he said at the time, but after we arrived at the Northwest Branch helm, he waited for three days before he allowed us to meet with Liu Daxia."
The old head said seriously: "Daxia Liu may be under house arrest within dozens of miles of the main branch. After the two arrived, the Demon Dragon Slayer King managed to move to the independent courtyard guard."
Binguai Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, Yinxiao Xiaoyaoke Liu Zhengzhao and I also judged this way, and the Demon Dragon Slayer King also specially arranged the private courtyard so that we could meet and talk to each other."
Liu Qianwen asked with concern: "How is my father's health?"
Binguai said seriously: "Very good, just like before, except that my hair is now white."
Shangguan Xiaowan asked: "How did you become the master of the hall?"
Binguai Zhang knew the size of the Northwest General Branch. All the cadres admired Shangguan Xiaowan and hated the Demon Dragon Slayer King. However, what they paid more attention to was the problem of Liu Qianwen and Shangguan Xiaowan working together with Nangong Haotian.
When asked, he said humbly and seriously: "The Demon Dragon Slayer King was very frank at that time. He openly said in front of the three of us that the person in charge of the Northwest General Branch was Miss Xiaowan and not him, the Demon Dragon Slayer King...
…”
Aunt Shan said: "That's because he deliberately used these words to appease the three of you, fearing that you three would reject him."
Binguai Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, but he doesn't know that among the men and women in the entire northwest branch, no one really respects him and obeys him. He has to say this because of the situation.
."
Nangong Haotian asked with concern: "What happened next?"
Binguai Zhang continued: "Later, he asked the three of us to serve as the heads of the three halls of the Northwest General Branch. We should continue to work hard to maintain the unity to prevent this relatively complete general branch from falling apart."
Liu Qianwen asked with concern: "What did my father say at that time?"
Binguai Zhang said in a serious voice: "There is no room for us to talk. When he saw the hesitation on the three of us, he threatened: He wants to take the heads of the three of us, just like picking something out of a bag. Not only does he force the three of us to do it, but
The three of us are not allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, otherwise, he will not only kill the three of us, but also kill you, niece Xian."
Aunt Shan snorted and said sarcastically: "He still wants to come and kill our girl Qianwen. Our girl Qianwen still wants to kill him when she sees him!"
Although these words were said a bit arrogantly, in fact, even if she really met the Demon Dragon Slayer King, Liu Qianwen might not be defeated by the Demon Dragon Slayer King, at least she would have no problem in protecting herself.
Because of this, Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan didn't say anything, and Liu Qianwen didn't stop Aunt Shan.
When Bin Guaizhang saw this situation, he was really surprised, knowing that Liu Qianwen had made extraordinary progress in martial arts.
After thinking about it, he suddenly realized the situation: "No wonder the Demon Dragon Slayer King is so polite to the three of us. No matter what we ask, he says it's okay."
Nangong Haotian asked with concern: "How can the Demon Dragon Slayer King be polite to you three?"
Binguai Zhang Zhengse said: "We asked him that the Northwest General Branch should still follow Miss Xiaowan's plan to open up the mountainous area and be self-sufficient. Those who are destined to be men and women can get married and start a family, build a new house, and also escape from the Demon Dragon Slaying Castle.
organize."
When Nangong Haotian heard the last part, he frowned and asked with concern: "What did the Demon Dragon Slayer King say?"
Binguai Zhang said sternly without hesitation: "The Demon Dragon Slayer King said yes, and has been doing so now. We also proposed to stop some external activities, and the Demon Dragon Slayer King also agreed."
After hearing this, Nangong Haotian frowned and said in surprise, and turned back to look at Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen.
The ancient head asked with concern: "I wonder if the Demon Dragon Slayer King talked about anything to our young master?"
Binguai Zhang asked, nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, but he only said that Haotian owed him too much..."
Nangong Haotian said angrily: "I also injured the powerful killing god with my palm, broke the shoulder bone of the scholar Tiannan, broke the left arm of Xuanling Yuanjun, shocked the silver-shirted swordsman's internal organs and vomited blood, and...
"
Before he finished speaking, Bin Guaizhang said anxiously: "However, he thinks those are coincidences, and you are not here to avenge him. What makes the Demon Dragon Slayer King the most unforgiving is that you already know about Jiuyou."
The true identity of Hua Xianzi and Miejie Shitai without taking action..."
When Zhao Ling'er heard that Binguai Zhang mentioned her aunt, Master Jue, she said in a deep voice: "At that time, there was the old weird master Xuan Ling.
The disciples were present, and the situation was different. Thanks to my aunt's help, we managed to overcome the difficulty. It's not like he, the Demon Dragon Slayer King, doesn't have eyes."
Binguai Zhang looked surprised when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "This Miss Zhao is..."
But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Shangguan Xiaowan had already told her that Zhao Ling'er was the lay niece of Master Miejie and how she went to Hengshan that time.
After hearing this, Binguai Zhang said with understanding, smiled and nodded.
Nangong Haotian continued to ask with concern: "The final meaning of the Demon Dragon Slayer King is..."
Binguai Zhang said hurriedly: "He is saying that it is not difficult for him to hand over the coffin of the noble man and Master Tianwai, as long as the young hero openly defeats or seriously injures the Shaolin master of magic and Taoist Wuchen of Wudang."
After hearing this, Nangong Haotian was so angry that he clenched his fists and lowered his head in silence.
Liu Qianwen suddenly asked: "So, the Demon Dragon Slayer King allowed my father to go into the pond to fish for the knife?"
Binguai Zhang nodded and said seriously: "Yes, as long as the young hero returns to the northwest branch, the salvage work can begin immediately."
Nangong Haotian listened as if he had not heard anything, and remained there with his head down, angry and annoyed, thinking hard about countermeasures.
Because, after all, the consequences of salvaging his father's sword are not as serious as openly injuring the Shaolin Master and Wudang Wuchen Taoist Priest.
However, Xue Bing'er on the side asked with concern: "So, the Demon Dragon Slayer King knows where my grandfather is now?"
Binguai said seriously: "He should know, otherwise, how could he dare to say that."
Nangong Haotian, who seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, suddenly raised his head and said, "He says it anyway. Even if he doesn't know, he still dares to say it."
Having said this, he paused and suddenly asked solemnly: "Has he been there again since the last time the Demon Dragon Slayer King appeared?"
Binguai Zhang nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, and I go to the main branch rudder every once in a while to have a look, but then I leave again soon."
Nangong Haotian looked at the old head and ordered: "Go and tell the boatman that the boat will sail directly to Xinjiaji and not go to Yulin River City."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were spoken, the four daughters of Shangguan, Liu, and Wuxue objected in unison: "No, there is no reason to stay outside the house without entering. Besides, it's not urgent at all."
The old man also hurriedly said: "Yes, young master, it's not urgent to be in a day and a half. Besides, the four girls are also eager to take a look..."
Before he finished speaking, Nangong Haotian said in a deep voice: "What's there to see? There are ruins and scorched earth everywhere."
Shangguan Liu Sinu was still stubborn and said: "At least we should ask workers to sort out the results first. If there is someone we can entrust, we can start the reconstruction. Besides, you have been away from home for many years, so you should also pay homage to your ancestors' graves."
!”
Having said this, Nangong Haotian was speechless and his eyes were blank, which must have triggered the pain and sadness in his heart. Bin Guaizhang realized that it had taken too long to arrive, and two large cargo ships were waiting for him to return.
He took the opportunity to stand up and said humbly: "The cargo ship has been loaded and is waiting for me to go back and set sail. If Haotian and Miss Xiaowan don't have any instructions, I would like to leave."
After saying this, everyone stood up, but Shangguan Xiaowan told the story of how he had just found the one-armed Ma San to inform the Shaolin Temple, Wudang, Emei, Beggar Clan and other sects.
After Binguai Zhang heard this, he praised: "I agree with this, otherwise, there will never be peace."
Having said this, he paused and then said in a serious tone of praise: "Miss Xiaowan, please leave this matter to me. If you all rush to Yulin River Haotian Village, you can sail the anchor now."
Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan said in unison: "That's exactly what we mean, please leave everything."
Bin Guaizhang walked towards the outside of the hall and said humbly: "It's my duty to do this, so why bother?"
Liu Qianwen said with some excitement: "Uncle Zhang went back to greet Uncle Liu and my father on behalf of his niece, saying that we would be there shortly."
As he spoke, Binguai Zhang had already arrived at the planking of the ship's side. He turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang will definitely be able to bring this news. However, your father knows that you are very good with Miss Haotian and Xiaowan, so he just
Waiting for you to go back to the pool to salvage the sword."
Ever since Nangong Haotian heard that her father Yunli Wuying was still alive, she had been full of hope to retrieve her father's famous sword. Now hearing what Zhang Yongzheng said from Bingguai increased his confidence. After thinking about it, he hurriedly handed it over.
He said with a smile: "Everything in the future will depend on Liu Shibo."
Binguai Zhang laughed and said: "After the sword is fished out, I'm afraid the title of the young hero should be changed."
Nangong Haotian's handsome face turned hot, but Liu Qianwen's pretty face turned red to the back of her ears.
Binguai clasped his fists and said goodbye, then turned around and walked directly to the river beach under the boat.
Nangong Haotian and others stood on the deck of the boat until they walked towards the river embankment, waved goodbye to each other, and then walked into the cabin.
Just at this time, the captain of the ship also came to ask for instructions whether to weigh the anchor. Nangong Haotian ordered to continue moving forward and sail directly to the Yulin River.
The Yulin River is a large wharf. Not only are boats crowded with people and sails like a forest, but goods are also piled up like mountains on the beaches on both sides. The streets in the city are wide, business is prosperous, the streets are crowded with pedestrians, and they are full of the noise of hawking.
However, the large ship and the painting boat that Nangong Haotian and others were riding on were anchored on a beach on the other side of the river twelve miles west of the city.
This time not only the people disembarked, but also eight horses were saddled and pulled onto the beach. It was obvious that they had reached the end of the field.
Sure enough, Gutou took a bag of silver and handed it to the captain. The captain looked surprised and laughed. Finally, he called all the captains to see off Nangong Haotian and others.
Based on this situation, the silver reward given by Nangong Haotian may be quite large.
Nangong Haotian took over his mount from Aunt Shan, and glanced sadly at Chu Meng's empty-saddled horse. Then, amidst the cheers of twenty or thirty boatmen, he mounted his horse and headed straight to the river bank.
Shaking the reins and galloping.
Shangguan Liu's fourth daughter and Gutou Dan's aunt also got on their horses and followed Nangong Haotian's horse.
As soon as he stepped onto the river bank, Nangong Haotian's eyes suddenly lit up and his expression became excited.
Shangguan Liu Sinu, who was also a little excited when she saw it, looked north and saw a large village with a width of several miles in the center, a few miles away, and a small rural village in the distance to the left and right.
When Shangguan Liu and her four daughters saw Nangong Haotian's eyes, they knew that Nangongzhuang was the big village running at the front, and asked in unison: "Is our Nangongzhuang in front of us?"
Nangong Haotian's starry eyes were already a little moist. He nodded excitedly, pointed to the vast fields in front of him, and said: "These fields in front of us belong to our family."
After saying this, Shangguan Liu's fourth daughter and Gutou Dan's aunt all said excitedly: "Really!" As they spoke, they all shook their reins and spurred their horses, and they all galloped into the field. While everyone was excited, they forgot about Tianzhong.
It was just a subconscious sense of intimacy that made them feel that they had finally arrived at their home and saw their own fields, and they couldn't help but want to go to the fields and step on them.
Nangong Haotian was also happy to see Shangguan Liu's fourth daughter so excited. Just as he was about to urge his horse to gallop into the field, he heard Aunt Shan shouting with regret: "Oh, my four young ladies, be careful of what my waiters have sown with so much pains."
Crops!”
This sentence reminded Shangguan Liu Sinu. She was startled, screamed, and hurriedly turned her horse back to the edge of the field.
However, when I looked back, I saw that a large field of seedlings had been trampled to pieces by their four horses.
Zhao Ling'er first glanced at Nangong Haotian with a distressed frown, and said uneasily: "What should we do?"
However, when the four girls looked at Nangong Haotian, they found that he was looking at the fields in confusion.
The old man knew something was wrong and asked with concern: "Young Master? Is there something wrong?"
Nangong Haotian hurriedly raised his head and said in confusion: "My house was burned down, and most of the clerks in the accounting office have fled and been killed. Who planted these crops?"
After saying this, the fourth daughter of Shangguan Liu and the ancient aunt Toudan were stunned.
The ancient head first thought: "Maybe he is the elder of the young master's clan..."
But as soon as the words were spoken, Nangong Haotian shook his head and said: "No, although Nangong Village is called Nangong Village, only our family has the surname Nangong. Later, as it developed, some were settled by outsiders, and some were servants who followed my ancestors..."
Shangguan Xiaowan seemed to have realized something and said: "This can't be wrong. I must be thinking that the neighbors who followed our ancestors in the past did not want the fields to be barren and sent people to sow and cultivate on our behalf."
Such a statement could not be said to be unreasonable. Nangong Haotian said nothing more, flicked the reins, and continued to gallop towards the village.
Since it was past noon and the farmers who had gone home to eat were resting, there were only a few people working in the fields.
Nangong Haotian is taking the lead. Look at Nangong Haotian's handsome face and expression changing as he approaches the village.
The four ladies of Shangguan Liu knew something was wrong, so they all raised their eyes to look inside the village. They saw lush trees in front of the village, forming a dense shade. Many farmers were resting under the trees after meals.
At this time, the farmers had woken up and looked at them in surprise.
An artificial avenue with tall poplar trees on both sides. There is a pond of dozens of acres on each side of the avenue, connected in the middle, and an arched stone bridge is built on the avenue between the two ponds.
At the end of the avenue, at the edge of two ponds, is the homestead of a magnificent and tall mansion.
The homestead is about ten feet high and is made of bluestone. There are dozens of steps in the center. The rest of the carriages and horses must go up the side ramps.
The walls of the house are tall and decorated with plaques. The central gatehouse is very luxurious, with a black painted door, a pair of golden animal rings, and a huge stone lion on the left and right.
Nangong Haotian was completely stunned and forgot to urge the horse. The horse went slower and slower, and finally stopped and stopped in the middle of the avenue, not far from the entrance of the village.
The ancient leader was also greatly surprised, because according to Nangong Haotian, it should be a piece of ruins and scorched earth, so why is it still a magnificent mansion.
While thinking about it, Gutou urged his horse forward, looked at Nangong Haotian, and asked in a respectful low voice: "Young Master, could it be that the rumors from the outside world are untrue?"
Nangong Haotian was stunned when he heard this, and asked numbly: "What rumor is untrue?"
The old man said seriously: "It is said that our house was set on fire by gangsters?"
Nangong Haotian raised his voice slightly and said anxiously: "The courtyard has completely changed its style. Didn't you see that the bricks, tiles and beams are all new? This doesn't look like an old house that has been built for decades."
After saying this, the fourth daughter of Shangguan Liu let out a sweet cry and everyone was stunned.
Aunt Shan was shocked and said: "Young master, could it be that our family's fields and properties have been occupied by others?"
Nangong Haotian also had this idea. He nodded heavily and said in a strong voice: "It's very possible."
Zhao Ling'er and Xue Bing'er had murderous looks on their pretty faces and said angrily: "Anyone who dares to invade our property will be punished.
Unless he has three heads and six arms, and has endless heads to chop off."
But Shangguan Xiaowan said hesitantly: "The gate of the house is open, and there are two large gauze lanterns hanging there. There are obviously people living inside. Let's go and take a look."
Nangong Haotian felt that it made sense, so he could only nodded and said: "Okay."
After shaking off the reins, he continued to move forward.
A few people had just walked under the shade of a tree at the entrance of the village. Among the farmers resting under the tree on the left and right, someone suddenly shouted in surprise and excitement: "Master Haotian, it is indeed Master Haotian."
After shouting loudly, a strong young man jumped up and ran towards Nangong Haotian's horse.
Nangong Haotian was suddenly startled. Before he could see clearly who the young man was, all the nearby farmers cheered and ran over one after another.
Seeing this situation, Nangong Haotian, Shangguan Liu Sinu, Gutou and Aunt Shan had no choice but to hurriedly turn over and jump off their horses.
However, those enthusiastic and friendly farmers, while cheering for Master Haotian, kept looking at Shangguan Liu Sinu.
