Lin Yuqi, Mrs. Tang and Su Xinchen did not recognize Xia Xun immediately. Xia Xun had eaten pickle dumplings for three months. He did not starve to death, but he had lost a lot of weight. His cheeks were somewhat sunken, and his face was ugly. He had a big beard and his appearance changed a lot, but Xia Xun recognized them at a glance.
Xia Xun never expected to meet them here, especially when he heard from his subordinates that the Tang family's wife and Su Xinchen were transferred to Jinan by Tang Yaoju. When he entered the city to look for Xie Yufei, he also visited the Tang family's wife. Unfortunately, nothing was found where they settled. I never expected that I would bump into them here, and they looked a little surprised.
The eyes and surprised expression of seeing an acquaintance immediately caught Lin Yuqi's attention. After a closer look, he seemed to be very familiar. Lin Yuqi was a little confused. It was Su Xinchen, because Xia Xun was pretending to be the shopkeeper of Huntang. When he was young, he had a big beard. Even though he was thinner now, he was still recognized by her. The little girl couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Shopkeeper, why are you here?"
Xia Xun had the same question in his mind: "Why are you here?"
It turned out that the White Lotus Sect's method of launching an uprising during the battle between the two armies in Texas was too difficult to operate, and the Yan army attacked and the Confederate army was defeated too quickly. The army was quickly wiped out. The soldiers on both sides did not even know the origin of this so-called army with unknown positions. The Yan army was busy chasing the Ming army, and the Ming army was in a hurry to flee to Jinan. No one paid attention to them who were scattered. .
After Lin Yu's Qi was defeated, he hid for more than half a month and found that nothing happened. No one was investigating the White Lotus rebellion that suddenly happened in front of the two armies. He didn't even know who was in charge. Only then did he return to Putai County with peace of mind. Tang Yaoju was seriously injured and died shortly after he dragged him to his hiding place due to lack of medical treatment.
Tang Yaoju had a high prestige among his old friends. The whereabouts of his wife and daughter were unknown. If Lin Yuqi could not find his widowed wife, it would be difficult for him to accept what Tang Yaoju left behind. Therefore, after Lin Yu Qi sneaked back to Putai County, he carefully observed for a while and found that the government was not aware of his rebellion, so he showed up publicly and inquired about the whereabouts of the Tang family's wife.
The Tang family's wife is not in Jinan.
When Tang Yaoju and Lin Yuqi were about to cause trouble, they both moved their families first. The place Tang Yaoju arranged for his wife was indeed Jinan Mansion, and he forged another identity for her in advance, which was quite hidden. However, Xia Xun sent people to keep an eye on his every move. The process of sending his wife and children to Jinan was watched by Xia Xun's people.
However, Tang Yaoju was a local snake on the ground in Shandong, and Xia Xun's secret agents were officers and soldiers who had become monks on the way. They were not good at tracking. The person escorting the Tang family's wife was Tang Yaoju's confidant Wang Hongguang. When he realized that someone was following him, he used He used a cover-up trick and stayed in Jinan for only one day before moving to his second hiding place: Qingzhou.
After the failure of the Texas incident, Lin Yuqi dragged Tang Yaoju, who was seriously injured, into hiding. Wang Hongguang completely lost contact with his people. As a last resort, he had to put up the incision tea language of the White Lotus Sect in a teahouse to ask for help from his fellow believers. He was arrested by Qingzhou. The Peng family, a local snake, was discovered.
Nowadays, Shandong is in chaos. Monk Peng is watching with cold eyes. Although with his sophisticated eyes, he feels that it is not the time to fish in troubled waters, he is much more courageous after all. If he can use this opportunity to intervene in the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, he can bring down the several White Lotus Sect forces on the ground in Shandong.
He is happy to see it gradually come under his control and expand the power of the Peng family.
When a disciple of the Peng family found someone asking for help using a common incision in the sect, and after asking for the identity of the person, Monk Peng had the idea of joining him. Because there are two sects under Bai Lian's sect, the general and the master. The general's disciples practice martial arts and military arts, and the master's disciples practice Taoism.
Magic, magic, and martial arts can be used on the battlefield, while Taoism, magic, and illusion can easily win over foolish men and women into the religion. They can be said to complement each other.
Tian Jiucheng of Shaanxi rebelled, and had no soldiers and no pay, but he was able to recruit tens of thousands of people to encourage him. Even a hero like Wang Jingangnu, who was both wise and brave, had to succumb to him. It was because of his excellent illusion skills that he was supported by his believers.
Monk Peng was born into a general, and his master's Taoist magic was his shortcoming.
Monk Peng is in Shandong, how can he not know something about the White Lotus Sect forces on the ground in Shandong? He has long known that Lin Yuqi is a master of illusion, but in the past, the world was stable, so he could only hold on to his position in Huaihe
He did not dare to rashly compete with the local Bailian branch in Shandong for territory. Now that he had such an opportunity, he naturally wanted to join him. So, after he took in the Tang family's wife, he sent people to find Lin Yuqi and Tang Yaoju.
, Liangxiali just got in touch recently.
Su Xinchen shouted "Shopkeeper" in surprise and joy, and the Tang family's wife recognized him. She couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "Brother Yang, it's you, Brother Tang..." At this point, it was already
I burst into tears.
Xia Xun's identity had already been exposed, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
If it weren't for the fear of hurting the Peng family, Xia Xun wouldn't have to worry about anything. If someone really found out, he would probably just walk away. With his current ability, it would be easy for him to change his identity. Not to mention that he now has a lot of energy.
And wealth, just the many official defense seals of the officials from various places that the King of Yan captured along the way were enough to create a large number of official certificates for him. With the administrative efficiency of the officials in this era, the imperial court wanted to
It is quite difficult to change or distinguish between true and false.
The problem is that he can leave. With such a large Peng family, it is extremely difficult to leave. Fortunately, after a conversation, Lin Yuqi didn't seem to know his identity, and Xia Xun felt relieved. They chatted for a while.
In a sentence, after seeing off the Tang family's wife and Su Xinchen with Uncle Peng and leaving with Lin Yuqi, Xia Xun stood outside the gate of Peng's house, in a daze.
Xie Yufei stood aside and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes for a long time. Xia Xun was still looking at the direction where Lin Yuqi and others were leaving. Xie Yufei couldn't help coughing and said: "Hey! Stop looking, everyone is leaving.
There is no trace."
"Ah? What?" Xia Xun came back to his senses and asked blankly.
Xie Yufei said sourly: "That girl named Su is reluctant to leave. She looks back three times every step of the way. She seems to be quite interesting to you."
Xia Xun smiled, rubbed his nose and said, "Why do I smell like Shanxi mature vinegar?"
Xie Yufeiyao raised her nose and snorted.
Xia Xun looked back at the door of Peng's house and whispered to Xie Yufei: "Have you noticed that my father-in-law's family is very mysterious?"
Xie Yufei asked: "Why is it so mysterious?"
Xia Xun said slowly: "Did you know that Madam Tang's husband is from the White Lotus Sect."
"Um?"
Xie Yufei was a little surprised, but her mind was so flexible that she reacted immediately and couldn't help but exclaimed softly: "Ah, you mean...?"
Xia Xun nodded and said: "That's right. Tang Yaoju was from the White Lotus Sect. He once gathered people to rebel in Dezhou. During the war, he was seriously injured and escaped. But Lin Yuqi falsely claimed to me that Tang Yaoju died of a serious illness. Don't you Do you think it’s strange? Have you seen his followers? He’s tall and has fierce eyes. This guy surnamed Lin is definitely not a serious businessman. There’s a good chance that he’s also a White Lotus cultist..."
Xie Yufei said: "And the Peng family not only happened to take in the Tang family's wife, but also got in touch with Lin Yuqi, so the Peng family..."
She rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "It seems...it doesn't matter, right? You are not an official of the imperial court now."
Xia Xun took a long breath and said: "If the Peng family keeps to themselves, it doesn't matter. If the Peng family also wants to dominate the world... let's go back first. When Zi Qi comes back, we have to discuss this matter with her. Let’s talk.”
West courtyard, three rooms.
Xie Yufei looked at her room, then at Xia Xun, then turned to Master Peng, folded her sleeves and said thanks: "Thank you very much, Master, for your hospitality."
"You're welcome, I'm not an outsider. Haha, I live in a humble place. It's fine, Miss Xie, if you don't mind. You guys should rest first. I'll arrange for someone to go to Licheng to deliver the message right away."
After Master Peng left, Xie Yufei glanced at Xia Xun and whispered: "Why...are the rooms given to us separate?"
Xia Xun said: "Yes, we should be arranged to live in the same room."
Xie Yufei blushed and defended: "That's not what I meant, it's just...just..."
Just what? She couldn't tell.
Xia Xun said: "My father-in-law doesn't know that we are married yet, and I can't tell him directly... Zi Qi is his daughter. It's really hard for me to tell him about this. You I don’t know how to ride a horse, and I have been very tired on this journey. Have a good sleep tonight and wait until tomorrow night..."
Xie Yufei bit her cherry lips with her fine white teeth, glanced at him with charming eyes, and said softly: "How about tomorrow night...?"
"Tomorrow night, please remember to leave a door for your husband."
With a swish, Xie Yufei's ears turned red. She spat lightly and said coquettishly: "There is no way!"
She quickly opened the door and entered the house. When the door was barely closed, she looked back, smiled, and said sweetly: "I only leave one window for you, you can love it or not!"
The door closed with a "snap", and the lingering voice of the beautiful woman made Xia Xun's heart flutter.
God~~~ does not follow people’s wishes!
Peng Ziqi is back!
Came back the next day.
Peng Ziqi didn't wait for the Peng family to find her people. As soon as Jinan City opened, she and her brother went into the city to look for Xie Xie. After searching for several days, he couldn't find her. Peng Ziqi advised her that searching like this would be like finding a needle in a haystack. He went back to Qingzhou to wait and see. Peng Ziqi had no idea and had to follow his brother back to Qingzhou.
In the past three months, although Peng Ziqi was outside Jinan City and was not in danger of starvation, she was no better off than Xie Yufei in the city. It was her idea to leave Shuangyu Island to look for Xia Xun. Although Xie Yufei came voluntarily, she could Xie Yufei was a weak woman who didn't practice martial arts. She lost people like this. Not to mention the long-term sisterhood between her and Xie Yufei, she couldn't explain herself in front of Xia Xun alone.
So after three months, Peng Ziqi suffered from psychological torture and lost a lot of weight. His originally slender waist, and the belt became wider, almost broke in the wind. As soon as he returned to Pengjiazhuang, he saw Xia Xun and
Xie Yufei and Peng Ziqi lost all their worries and hugged the two of them and cried with joy. The three of them piled the Peng family aside and expressed their feelings after their farewell. In the end, only thank you and Ziqi were left chatting non-stop.
Even Xia Xun became a guest.
But after being happy, Xie Yufei soon fell into trouble again.
Because...Peng Ziqi is back.
The damn old man, Master Peng, arranged his precious daughter and Xia Xun in the same room.
This..., this...
That night, thank you very resentfully for leaving the window open. I went back and lay down for a while, then got up again, and very resentfully left the door open.
Then, she returned to bed, biting the corner of her lip, and thought resentfully: "Will that enemy come?"
p: Thank you for waiting. Will Xia Xun come? Please decide. Those who vote *** will let Xia Xun climb through the window. Those who vote for recommendation will let Xia Xun walk through the door. Well, that’s it!
