The sunset slowly sets, leaving only a small circle of faint blush on the horizon!
A gust of cold wind passed by, and the smell of blood in the air gradually dispersed into the distance with the cold wind, which seemed to indicate that the fierce battle was coming to an end.
It is better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times!
This world is like this, the weak can only be mermaid meat, only the strong can live a better life!
Liu Ruyi sighed, patted the thief-headed monkey on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Get a good child in your next life, and never be a thief again!"
"No, no! You can't kill me!" Mountain Monkey roared desperately, "I am the disciple of Nine Lives Old Cat, the head of Erlong Mountain. You can't kill me! If you kill me, you will be fighting against the heroes of Quan Nan Mountain.
If you become your enemy, Master Cat will never let you go!"
"Oh?" Liu Ruyi was slightly startled when he heard the words, 'Nine-lived Old Cat?' Where has this name been heard before? Liu Ruyi couldn't help but look at Uncle Fu who was standing aside.
Uncle Fu knew what Liu Ruyi meant, so he explained: "Young master, this nine-lived old cat was originally a Qianzong in Kong Youde's army. In the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, the army besieged Dengzhou Prefecture, and he was separated from his headquarters.
So he simply retreated to the mountains of Luzhong with his cronies and became the king of the mountain! This man was ruthless and cunning, and he would kill everyone in his family. No one had ever seen him like this! In the past few years,
The government conducted several encirclement and suppression campaigns, but no trace of him was found! This man is the bandit leader in Nanshan, and he can be considered a figure!"
After speaking, Uncle Fu winked at Liu Ruyi, obviously deeply afraid of this person.
Lao Gui, who had been standing aside blankly, also reacted and said cautiously: "Master Liu, I have heard of this man, and he is definitely not an easy person to deal with! In this case, shall we?
…”
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly, but did not speak.
"Young master, the road is facing the sky, each side goes half way! Today, I, the monkey on the mountain, have admitted defeat. For the sake of Mr. Cat, I just ask you to let me live. Our holiday is over, how about it?" Monkey on the mountain,
Seeing that Liu Ruyi and others seemed to be afraid of the Nine Lives Old Cat, their hope of survival became much greater and their voices became louder.
Liu Ruyi didn't even look at the mountain monkey, turned around and handed the steel knife in his hand to Huo Lang, "Huo Lang, I remember you said that your father died tragically at the hands of the Erlong Mountain bandits! Now, his
Your fate is at your disposal!"
When Huo Lang heard him tell the name of Erlong Mountain's nine-lived old cat, he could no longer contain his anger. He wanted to eat the mountain monkey alive. At this time, hearing Liu Ruyi's words, Huo Lang didn't hesitate for a moment and raised his knife.
Luo, directly cut off the human head from the neck of the mountain monkey. In fact, Huo Lang's movements were even more agile than when he skinned the roe deer when he first met Liu Ruyi.
"Brother, thank you!" Huo Lang ignored the blood all over his body and knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi. He knew that Liu Ruyi had taken a huge risk by doing this.
"Thank you, we are brothers. Your enemy is my enemy, Liu Ruyi!" Liu Ruyi smiled and helped Huo Lang up, and said to the people around him: "It's getting late, let's get on our way as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Liu Ruyi walked straight towards the carriage not far away. Although there were no thieves in this fierce fight that threatened the safety of the carriage, the safety of his mother Zou was definitely a top priority for Liu Ruyi, and he had to personally
Only after confirmation can you rest assured and don’t dare to be careless.
Uncle Fu also took Xiao Liu'er and Huo Lang to clean up the chaotic battlefield, leaving Lao Gui alone standing there blankly.
"This, this is death? Is this? Hey!" Lao Gui sighed fiercely and looked at Liu Ruyi's back blankly, but found that he had never seen through this young man.
…………
Caishi Town is located fifty miles southeast of Jinan City. It is surrounded by mountains and has dangerous terrain. It is the gateway that controls the direction from Jinan Prefecture to Laiwu Xintai.
The town is not big, with less than a hundred households. Perhaps it is the advantage of its geographical location and the large number of merchants that come and go, but it also gives this small town a strange sense of prosperity.
At nightfall, Liu Ruyi and his party finally arrived at an inn in the town, and everyone's tired nerves were slightly relieved.
"Mr. Liu, for saving your life, please accept this little lady's gift!" Miss Xiao also stepped down from the carriage and gave Liu Ruyi a gentle gift.
The battle in the valley resulted in the loss of most of the Xiao family's servants. Miss Xiao's family was already in despair. Fortunately, Liu Ruyi made a prompt decision and captured the thief's leader, which reversed the situation. This also made Miss Xiao's family have a deep affection for Liu Ruyi.
Grateful. Moreover, when Miss Xiao looked at the handsome young man in front of her, she didn't know how he could do all this, and her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity.
"You're welcome, Miss! It's just a fluke that I am a student!" She is a gentle lady, and a gentleman likes to be jealous. Although Liu Ruyi is not a gentleman, she still has some appreciation for beautiful things in her heart.
Miss Xiao family looked at Liu Ruyi's refreshing eyes, sighed slightly, and said with some self-reproach: "This time, my father originally ordered me to return directly from Jiaozhou to my home in Jining Prefecture, but I was willful for a while and ended up doing this on my own.
Many lives!”
Looking at her sad eyes, Liu Ruyi didn't know what to say, so she just tried to comfort her: "The world is like this, so you don't have to worry too much about it, just treat their family well!"
The young lady of the Xiao family nodded lightly, "Thank you Mr. Liu for your explanation! If Mr. Liu is of use to the Xiao family in the future, Mr. Liu can use this jade token to go to the Xiao family's cloth shop in Jinan Prefecture, and the Xiao family will definitely provide full assistance.
"
After saying that, she handed an exquisite jade plaque to Liu Ruyi's hand, bowed gently, and with a burst of fragrant wind, she and the pretty maid walked upstairs to the inn.
This jade plaque is only the size of a baby's palm and is as warm as water. Even if Liu Ruyi doesn't know much about it, she knows that it is definitely carved from top-quality jade. The front of the jade plaque is engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings, descending on a plant.
Under the sycamore tree, there is a line of small words engraved in the lower right corner, "Xiao's eldest daughter, purple heart!"
"Zi Xin? Xiao Zi Xin?" Liu Ruyi recited the name silently.
At this time, Lao Gui came over and looked at the jade plaque in Liu Ruyi's hand, his eyes almost fell to the ground, "Mr. Liu, this, is this given to you by my lady?"
Liu Ruyi looked at the beautiful lady's back, nodded slightly, and ignored Lao Gui's reaction.
"This is Miss's token. With this token, you can go to any store in the Xiao family to withdraw up to 10,000 taels of silver at will! This is really..." Lao Gui opened his mouth wide and looked at Liu Ruyi as if he were looking at a god.
generally.
Liu Ruyi didn't expect this jade token to be so valuable, but since she had already accepted it, there was absolutely no reason to send it back.
After Miss Xiao left, Liu Ruyi settled her mother down again, then walked to the lobby on the first floor of the inn, ordered a few side dishes, warmed up a few pots of hot wine, and started drinking with Lao Gui and Uncle Fu.
.
However, after a fierce fight in the valley, several of them were a little tired, so they did not enjoy themselves to the fullest. They just stopped and went back to their rooms to rest.
…………
Early the next morning, at dawn, a group of cavalry came running from the direction of Jinan Prefecture on the official road. There were as many as a hundred people. They were all tall and strong, wearing fine armor to protect themselves. They wore bright red mandarin duck jackets and hunted in the cold wind.
Pedestrians can tell at a glance that they are elite officers and soldiers.
They did not stay much in the town, but picked up an exquisite carriage at the door of the inn where Liu Ruyi stayed, and ran straight towards Jinan Prefecture...
After running for his life for several days, Liu Ruyi was a little uncomfortable sleeping on a familiar bed again. However, he is still a young man after all. Liu Ruyi's body has a strong recovery power, and a night's sleep has restored him to his best condition.
"Uncle Fu, who are they?" Liu Ruyi looked at the cavalry team flying away in the dust and asked Uncle Fu who was standing beside him.
"Young Master, these people seem to be the servants of Shandong Commander-in-Chief Ni Chong, who came to greet Miss Xiao! By the way, Miss Xiao left a letter for the Young Master when she left." After finishing speaking, Uncle Fu handed over a letter.
The letter was handed to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi waited until the dust and smoke on the official road cleared and no one could be seen anymore, then he opened the letter and said, "Master Liu, I wanted to invite my wife and son to a banquet in the courtyard of Jinan City today, but there is something urgent at home."
Sorry, if you are rude, please forgive me! Mr. Liu is a hero among men. Next time we meet, I will pour wine for him to make amends!"
Smelling the faint fragrance on the letter, Liu Ruyi's calm heart actually felt a ripple, "Uncle Fu, what else did Miss Xiao leave behind?"
Uncle Fu looked at his young master who was a little distracted, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Young master, the Miss Xiao family didn't leave anything, but I heard what Laogui meant, it seems that something happened in Jining Mansion.
What happened that made them rush back in a hurry?"
Liu Ruyi took a deep breath and tried to make her spirit clearer, "What happened to me? How could I lose my soul for a woman? But, having said that, the Xiao family is indeed extraordinary, and they even lost their souls."
Even high-ranking officials like Ni Chong can get involved. It seems that I still underestimated them!'
"Uncle Fu, go to the market and hire an ox cart. We must get to Jinan Mansion as soon as possible without further delay!" Liu Ruyi said in a deep voice.
"Yes, young master, don't worry! I will do it now!"
…………
In the exquisite carriage, Xiao Zixin had already removed the veil from her face, revealing a pretty face that would captivate the country. She was only sixteen years old, but she was already the person in charge of the Xiao family's business in Jiangbei, and she was extremely powerful.
At this time, Xiao Zixin was holding an account book and carefully checking the accounts on it. But beside her, the pretty little maid pouted, looked at Xiao Zixin dissatisfied, and said softly: "Miss, what are you doing?"
Why should I leave a message to that pretty boy? His eyes are so terrifying, he would kill someone without even blinking!"
This little maid is a little younger than Xiao Zixin, only about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her body has not grown yet, and she is just a little beauty embryo.
However, the little maid seemed to be in a bad mood. Apparently, the scene where Liu Ruyi captured the thief's leader, the Mountain Monkey, left a deep shadow on her young heart.
Xiao Zixin smiled and patted her little head, "Aluo, you saved our lives. How could you arrange our benefactor like this behind our back?"
"Miss—" Alora said in a longer tone, "Aren't they worried about you? Huh, who knows if he is a prostitute! By the way, miss, the eldest young master of the Fang family has come to propose marriage again this time.
, this is the third time this year, what should we do?"
When Xiao Zixin heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned cold. She put the account book aside and took out a delicate gun from the cushion under the seat, "When I go home this time, I must say something to my father.
Clearly, if the Fang family really wants to use its power to suppress others, then we will..."
After Xiao Zixin finished speaking, she raised the blunderbuss in her hand!
The little girl A Luo also said solemnly: "Well! If they dare to bully the young lady, we will fight them tooth and nail!"
