When we arrived at the main hall, we saw a white-haired old man in a green gown pacing back and forth, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Hanging on his waist was a double-pronged sword with a sheath, which was the weapon of the Cuiyou Valley sect.
Murong Jie whispered to Su Wangting in a low voice. Su Wangting nodded and stood at the door with a gun.
Seeing that Su Wangting had listened to the advice, Murong Jie breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the main hall with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, I never expected that Elder Cuiyougu would deign to come to visit. My humble abode will be so radiant! I have long admired Elder Ge's name. Please take a seat quickly."
Ge Song clasped his fists and greeted with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Golden Sword Murong is famous in the world, but we have never met each other. It is really a big regret for me in Cuiyougu."
Murong Jie waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Elder Ge has promoted me, how can a mere local family be compared with a famous sect? If my Murong family is lucky enough to be supported by this noble sect, then I, Murong Jie, will truly be a proud ancestor!"
After saying that, Murong Jie ordered the servants to change the tea, and after the two sides flattered each other a few times, Ge Song picked up a wooden box and placed it in front of Murong Jie.
"Elder Ge, what is this?"
Ge Song patted the wooden box and said with a smile: "How can I come empty-handed when I'm visiting for the first time? I should give you a meeting gift."
Murong Jie was greatly surprised when he heard this, and became more and more confused.
The elders of Cuiyougu have been polite for a long time since they came here. Not only did they not mention anything about the Nanshui Gang, they also offered them a greeting gift.
Why is this so?
Why did this person come to visit you?
Seeing the sincerity and fear on Murong Jie's face, Ge Song smiled and said: "Mr. Murong, there is no need to be formal. This gift is specially made for you. Why don't you open it and read it before talking?"
"This... I, the Murong family, are so virtuous and capable, how dare I accept gifts from your noble sect."
Ge Song said nothing and pushed the box forward: "Please!"
Seeing Ge Song's insistence, Murong Jie had no choice but to open the wooden box.
However, the moment he opened the wooden box, Murong Jie's eyes suddenly shrank and he staggered back two steps.
"This is!!!"
What I saw in the box was a bloody human head!!
"Hahaha, Mr. Murong, please don't panic." Ge Song laughed and supported Murong Jie.
Murong Jie was still in shock. He pointed at the wooden box and said tremblingly: "No... I don't know what Elder Ge meant by sending this thing. Then... is that head?"
Ge Song put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "This person is the third leader of the Nanshui Gang, Liao Ruhua, who offended your noble master yesterday. I specially took his head and presented it to Mr. Murong. I have the right to apologize to your noble master."
"
"But...I heard that the Nanshui Gang works for your sect. Why would Elder Ge..."
Ge Song waved his hand to interrupt Murong Jie's words, and said with awe and dignity: "We in Cuiyougu are from a well-known and decent family. How can we allow the Nanshui Gang to do evil? Wouldn't that be a smear on our own faces? Of course, everyone wants to get the Nine Chapters of Tianji,
But you have to pay attention to how to get it, how can you do it arbitrarily?"
Murong Jie turned back to look at Su Wangting who was eavesdropping, and said with a smile: "Yes... Elder Ge is absolutely right. Your sect took the initiative to uphold justice for me, and I, the Murong family, are flattered."
After saying that, Murong Jie called the servants to take down the box containing the human head, and ordered the preparation of good food and wine in order to express his gratitude to Ge Song.
Unexpectedly, Ge Song waved his hand and said, "I won't drink any more. In fact, I have an unexpected visit today. In addition to being fair to your noble master, I also have an unkind favor."
"oh?"
Murong Jie was startled when he heard this.
He understood that Ge Song was finally going to reveal the true purpose of his visit.
"Elder Ge, please speak."
Ge Song stroked his white beard and said as he walked: "As the saying goes, gentlemen are fond of fair ladies. I have a favorite disciple named Zhao Ling'an, who is twenty-five years old. He has been in love with his daughter Murong Yunxiu for a long time.
, To be honest, this is why I came here."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Murong Jie raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? Elder Ge wants to come and get married?"
Ge Song laughed twice and said: "Yes. This Zhao Lingan is from a prominent family in Lianzhou, and he is a good match for your family. Since Nie Yunfei of Tianlan Peak defected, he is now the leader among the younger generation of the four major sects.
This is my beloved disciple. If my daughter is betrothed to him, I think it would be a good match."
"this……"
Seeing Murong Jie's expression of embarrassment, Ge Song added: "Mr. Murong, what's the problem? As the saying goes, it's the right time for a girl to get married. Besides, my beloved disciple is not only extremely talented, but also looks very talented. The two of us are simply made for each other."
A couple. Besides, if your Murong family and I, Cuiyougu, get married, there will be only advantages and no disadvantages. If Mr. Murong agrees today, I will find a suitable matchmaker the next day and prepare a generous betrothal gift.
Come."
Murong Jie frowned and replied: "I am flattered that such a young and talented person can marry such a prestigious family as Cuiyougu. It's just... Elder Ge suddenly brought up this matter a bit suddenly. Can I discuss it with my wife?
Ichiban?"
Ge Song waved his hand: "Marriage is a big deal, so naturally we have to discuss it with my wife. How about this, I will send a matchmaker to ask for Mr. Murong's message in three days?"
Murong Jie cupped his fists and said, "Elder Ge has thought carefully!"
Ge Song also clasped his fists with his hands: "In this case, I will go back today and wait for good news."
Ge Song resigned and just walked out of the main hall when he spotted Su Wangting standing at the door holding a silver gun.
Ge Song looked Su Wangting up and down and asked, "Oh? Isn't it true that your family always uses swords? How come your martial arts master is standing outside the door holding a spear?"
Murong Jie hurriedly replied: "Elder Ge has misunderstood. This person is not from my Jindao Murong sect. He...is the son of an old friend of mine. He came to visit me recently."
Ge Song nodded slightly and glanced at Su Wangting again from the corner of his eyes, his face full of disdain.
"Well, what a silver gun. I'll take my leave now."
Ge Song left.
Su Wangting smiled and said: "Congratulations to Senior Murong, it turns out Cuiyougu is here to propose marriage."
Murong Jie's face was full of worry, he sighed softly, and invited Su Wangting inside to drink tea.
"Why, it's a good thing that Senior Murong can get married to a big sect like Cuiyougu. Why is Senior not happy but worried about it?"
Murong Jie shook his head and said: "Although marriage matters are all determined by the will of the parents, my girl is a fierce temperament. She doesn't care about the right family, her parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, and she would rather die if she says that she is not the one she likes.
Marry. Hey, you don’t know, righteous man. In the past few years, there were several families who wanted to marry each other, and the other party’s family background was also prominent, but my girl refused to obey and caused a lot of trouble."
Su Wangting raised his head and laughed: "What a man who won't marry someone other than the one he likes!"
Murong Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Now that I've fallen in love with Xu Yishi, let's stop joking. Hey, what should we do now? That Green Valley is not something I can offend."
"Why don't you ask Miss Murong first? Maybe I heard that Cuiyougu is here to propose marriage, and she will agree?"
Murong Jie paced back and forth, hesitated for a long time, then nodded and said, "I can only try Yun Xiu's tone first."
Su Wangting originally planned to resign after lunch.
But when the loud noise of Murong Yunxiu and his parents spread throughout the Murong family compound, he hesitated.
It seems that this girl has no choice but to live or die.
Judging from the fact that Ge Song sent his head today, on the surface it was to seek justice for the Murong family, but in reality he wanted to use this decisive and decisive method to hint at the consequences of rejecting Cuiyougu's marriage proposal.
It seems that the Murong family is going to be in big trouble.
When Su Wangting was hesitating, he saw Murong Yunxiu rushing into the main hall, with a beautiful face crying like pear blossoms and rain.
Murong Jie and his wife also followed in panic.
"you
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, are you willing to marry me!" Murong Yunxiu rushed in and pointed at Su Wangting and shouted.
Su Wangting was stunned.
"Mur... Miss Murong, don't be joking. I come from a humble background, how dare you climb so high?"
"I don't care! As long as you are willing, I will marry you!!"
This Murong Yunxiu regarded Su Wangting as a life-saving straw.
"Stop messing around!!" Murong Jie shouted, "Yunxiu, you have to think about our Murong family. If we reject the green valley, will we still have a good life?" Zhao Lingan is a young talent in the martial arts world.
, I have a distinguished family background, so why can’t I get married?”
"brush!"
Murong Yunxiu actually pulled out a long knife hanging on the wall and put the knife on his neck.
"If you force me again, my daughter will die in front of you!!"
Su Wangting was covered in cold sweat as he watched.
This girl is really fierce!
Murong Jie was helpless and sighed repeatedly; his wife burst out in grief and cried out to persuade her daughter to put down the knife.
"Hey! What should we do?!" Murong Jie looked up to the sky and sighed.
Madam Murong shook Murong Jie and cried: "Don't force her anymore. If anything happens to Yunxiu, I won't be able to live anymore! Otherwise, you will give in to her wishes and let her marry this man."
Xu Yishi? If Cui Yougu comes to ask, wouldn’t it be good to just say that your daughter ran away with someone else??”
"Nonsense!!" Murong Jie pushed his wife away, "It's not that I dislike Xu Yishi's background. If I marry him and let him go, then the trouble will also go with him. Cuiyougu will let Xu Yishi go from now on.
What??”
Su Wangting was deeply moved when he heard this.
This Murong Jie is indeed a man who understands righteousness deeply.
"Put down the knife..." Su Wangting stood up and extended his hand to Murong Yunxiu.
Murong Yunxiu didn't resist at all and handed the knife to him obediently.
Su Wangting returned the knife to its sheath, hung it back on the wall, and said slowly: "I... have a bad idea, I don't know if it's feasible."
Murong Jie took a step forward: "Oh? Mr. Xu, please speak!"
Su Wangting asked: "Who is the strongest swordsman in your Murong family today?"
Murong Jie thought for a moment and replied: "It should be my eldest nephew, Murong Xiao."
"Then Murong Xiao, is he confident that he can block Zhao Ling'an's three moves?"
Hearing this, Murong Jie couldn't help but feel proud on his face. He put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Xiao'er once competed with Situ Kong, a rising star from Luoxiatan. Although he lost in the end, they were both good enough.
It took nearly a hundred moves to determine the winner. No matter how powerful Zhao Ling'an is, if he wants to defeat Xiao'er in three moves, I think it's impossible!"
Su Wangting nodded and said: "That's good. Three days later, you can reply to the matchmaker who came to ask for information and say that you have agreed to the marriage. However, Miss Murong has one request, that is, she must defeat Murong within three moves.
Xiao Fangke. I think that Cuiyougu doesn’t take your local family’s ability seriously, so for the sake of face, he will naturally agree to this request.”
"Wonderful!!" Murong Jie clapped his hands after hearing this, "What a brilliant idea! In this way, even if the marriage fails, there will be nothing to say in the green valley!"
"I'm going to explain this to Xiao'er right now and let him make preparations!" As he said this, Murong Jie took his wife and walked away quickly.
Murong Yunxiu stopped sobbing and smiled at Su Wangting.
Su Wangting returned the smile and asked, "Does it have to be the person you love to marry?"
"certainly!"
"Oh, so have you found someone you like?"
Murong Yunxiu lowered her eyes and bit her red lips: "Guess."
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear a reply.
Looking up, I saw that the main hall was empty, and Su Wangting was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh! How can you leave without saying anything!" Murong Yunxiu stamped his feet, his face full of embarrassment.
