Bringing the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 32: Liuzhuang West of the City
After Gu Xiao said these words, the look of panic in the eyes of the big man who was kneeling on one knee flashed away, but he still said harshly: "I'm just meddling in other people's business on a whim like you."
Although the bearded man tried his best to hide it, Gu Xiao keenly caught the panic in his eyes and confirmed his guess.
So Gu Xiao opened his mouth and said to the big man: "Whether you admit it or not, I have got the answer I want. Just now you didn't want to listen to my explanation. Now I will tell you, although the girl Lin'er you are guarding is smart and smart, but this
The dangers of people's hearts and the poison of means are impossible to guard against. If you want your girl Lin'er to be fine, why not tell me where they are going now to save me the time to find out the news. I will go in time. If that girl is in danger, I will come back.
and save her from danger."
After hearing what Gu Xiao said, the bearded man seemed a little worried. When the young man in green in front of him spoke, his face was sincere and did not seem to be lying. Although he was not old, he could tell in a short time in the foot shop.
With clues, he can deduce the relationship between the master and himself, and his mind is very good.
If it is true as he said, although the master's intelligence is beyond the reach of others, if the Liu family is really talented and sees through the master's plan, once the master is in danger, the consequences will be disastrous. The bearded man thought again, but after all, the master had told him not to do it.
How could he make the decision without revealing her whereabouts?
Seeing the hesitant look of the bearded man, Gu Xiao was really anxious and angry, so he said: "Forget it, I don't care, you don't have to say I'm nosy, but if something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you.
"
The tall man with the beard stared at Gu Xiao for a moment. He remembered the sincerity of the young man just now. As if he had made up his mind, he bowed his hands and saluted Gu Xiao and said: "I have offended you a lot just now. Please don't take it offence. If you don't
Xia is willing to help, and I will be grateful."
Seeing that the big man was no longer stubborn, Gu Xiao lowered his tone and asked, "Since you choose to believe me, tell me quickly where they went."
The big man with the beard said: "That young master is the son of Liu Piaopiao, the owner of Liuzhuang. Liu Piaopiao came from the Golden Sword Sect in the north of Qiyun under Wang Yan's family. He is good at sword skills and palm skills. Liu Yi's mother, Gao, is Nalang
She was the biological sister of Gao Lian, the magistrate of the state. Because of this, the Liu family obtained a hundred hectares of land west of Liangzhou City through Gao Lian's official relationship in the Northern Jin Dynasty. The Liu family built a Liuzhuang on this land of one hundred hectares. They must have
Went there." After the big man finished speaking, there seemed to be something else on his lips. The big man thought about it and swallowed it again.
Gu Xiao knew in his heart that the girl Lin'er and the bearded man came to Liangzhou not only to punish Mr. Liu, but also for other reasons. However, he came to help this time just to prevent the girl Lin'er from falling into the trap.
Hukou. Now that we know that the Liu family is not in Liangzhou City, but in Liuzhuang in the west of the city, we have to get up and go to Liuzhuang to rescue people.
Just as he was about to get up and go on his way, Gu Xiao suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to the bearded man: "Don't worry about your injury. I only used my strength to break through your outer martial arts, and I didn't use my true energy to pour into your vitality gate.
After an hour, you can act as usual. At that time, you can first go to Liangzhou City Gate to find my accompanying person, tell him about you and me, show him this thing, he will believe you, and then you can feel at ease.
Just find an inn in Liangzhou City and wait for me. If there are too many people there, it will be annoying."
After saying that, Gu Xiao threw the oil-paper bag of rested fennel in his arms to the bearded man, and said to the man: "You also give me a token so that your master can trust me."
The big man with the beard knew that there was no time to waste. He was injured and could not arrive at the agreed time. He could only rely on the young man in green in front of him. So he reached into his arms and took out a token. The token was engraved with brass.
The peach blossom parcel was engraved with the ancient Chinese character 'Ling'. He handed it to Gu Xiao and said, "Please."
Gu Xiao solemnly accepted the token, put it in his arms, and said to the big man, "Don't worry." After saying that, he picked up the Tsing Yi Jue and headed towards the west of Liangzhou City.
But at this moment, the girl followed Mr. Liu and his entourage to Liuzhuang in the west of Liangzhou City. This Liuzhuang is really extraordinary. It covers an area of 100 hectares and has a gate several feet high. The cornices are supported by four vermilion pillars.
A gold-lacquered plaque hangs under the eaves, and two powerful characters "Liuzhuang" are made of pure gold above the plaque.
Stepping into Liuzhuang, you will see a scene every ten steps and a pavilion every hundred steps. The pavilions are connected by corridors. The pavilions, terraces and pavilions are all made by famous craftsmen in Liangzhou City. Each pavilion is set off by a waterscape, just like a picture scroll.
The place makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Young Master Liu looked at the beautiful lady beside him walking through the corridor with him. His heart was itching as he looked at her, and he reached out to grab the girl's slender white jade hand.
The girl turned her head to look at the scene in the 'Liu Village', raised her finger to the water at the far end, and escaped Mr. Liu's claws, and said happily: "Mr. Liu, look at that, I didn't expect that there are actually fish swimming in this winter waterscape.
move."
"Yes, my house...everywhere in my house is taken care of by servants." Mr. Liu didn't hold the girl's hand. At this moment, he couldn't hold it anymore. However, beauties are rare, so he had to endure his temper and lead the girl.
Go to the yard where you live.
The girl followed Mr. Liu, but she was secretly frightened. She didn't expect that Liuzhuang was so big. And along the way, there were more nursing homes in Liuzhuang than she imagined. There was a guard post every three steps and a post every five steps.
Whistle, when you look at these nursing homes step by step, you can see that not one of them is an incompetent straw bag. These nursing homes are all dressed in strong clothes, holding simple swords, three of them are in a line, patrolling back and forth in the Liuzhuang, the girl can't help but look at Yuemei.
Lock tightly.
When the patrolling guards saw the young master returning, they all saluted. Mr. Liu wanted to show off his power in front of the beautiful lady, so he gave the guards a lesson. He turned back to look at the girl, only to see the girl's crescent eyebrows furrowed. He thought it was the guards holding knives.
, scared the beauty. So he quickly scolded: "You useless things, don't follow me. Look at the sharp weapons you are holding, don't scare my beauty." After saying that, he smiled flatteringly at the girl.
The girl forced herself to walk all the way, feeling disgusted by Mr. Liu. She put on a smile and said in agreement: "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Liu."
The nurses looked at their young master leading the girl in green clothes into his courtyard, and whispered to each other: "Oh, look, the young master has brought back another beauty."
"I look at it, this girl should be voluntary, not snatched back by force, right?"
"By the way, the little lady from Sun Xiucai's family last time was really hot-tempered. I heard she jumped into the lake that night."
"Shh, stop talking, stop talking, hurry up and inspect, and wait until I am handed over. We are looking for Liu Da. He went hunting with the young master. He must know the inside story. Let's go to the city to drink wine."
The nursing staff chatted in low voices and then patrolled other courtyards. Mr. Liu led the girl to his own courtyard, and then ordered the servants to prepare food, hot water, and clean the room. Only Mr. Liu and his wife were left in the courtyard.
The two girls. Mr. Liu was so horny that he wanted to hug the girl and make love. The girl still avoided it deftly and pretended to be coquettish: "Young Master is so impatient, can't he wait until night?"
Mr. Liu thought it was a shy girl, so he joked: "If the girl says night, then it is night."
While the two were talking, outside the courtyard, the old steward of Liuzhuang came to deliver a message: "Young Master, the owner and his wife learned that the young master has returned to the village, and specially ordered this person to come and send a message. There are distinguished guests in the mansion. Please come to the main hall."
Mr. Liu wanted to have some fun with the girl, but the old steward made him look bad. However, Mr. Liu still did not dare to disobey his parents, so he said to the girl: "Girl, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
"Young master, please help yourself." The girl smiled and saluted Mr. Liu, which took away half of Mr. Liu's soul. Thinking of going to the main hall to meet the guests, the girl couldn't help but feel angry and left the room.
The door opened fire at the old steward, and then he reluctantly followed the obedient old steward to the main hall.
In the huge main hall of Liuzhuang.
Gao Yan, who is dressed in a wide robe and gorgeous clothes, has a pale face, and is dressed like a warrior in powerful attire, looking like a yaksha. He is sitting in the guest seat in the main hall. The body of a man, the name of a woman, the posture of a woman, the appearance of a man.
, these two people are the owner of Liuzhuang and his wife, Liu Yi's parents.
It was as if the husband and wife were the guests of Liuzhuang, and the person sitting on the master's chair was the 'distinguished guest' in the words of the old butler just now.
This man is in his fifties, has short hair and a thin beard, and an extremely ugly face. However, he is wearing a white snow suit. A black cloak is tied diagonally from his left shoulder to the right rib. Only his right arm is exposed outside the cloak.
There are thick calluses on the palms, and it looks like the hands that hold swords all year round, but his left hand is hidden in a black cloak.
"The sect master has sent me here to tell you and your wife two things." The 'distinguished guest' said in a commanding tone.
"My husband and I are subject to the orders of the sect master and the elders." Villa Master Liu replied respectfully, but Mrs. Liu had a casual look on her face, without any sign of respect.
The 'honored guest' caught a glimpse of the couple's completely different reactions, but remained silent and continued: "Back then, the sect leader ordered you and your wife to go to Liangzhou to establish Liuzhuang and attract talents from all over the world. This time I am here to watch you build this Liuzhuang.
The management of the village is extremely good, and there are many talents in Liuzhuang, and now it is the place where they can put their talents to use."
It took him many years of hard work to build Liuzhuang into such a large scale, but now he has to obey the orders of others. Although the owner of the village, Liu Piaopiao, was a little reluctant, he thought that now was not the time, and after thinking about it, he was still respectful.
He opened his mouth and replied: "I, Liu, am a wandering guest in the Jianghu. Thanks to the sect master for not giving up and entrusting me with an important task, I will do my best to repay the sect master for his kindness."
On the other hand, Liu Yi's mother, the Liu family, was strict and reprimanded Master Liu like a man: "Since the master of the sect has spoken, we and I will do it. If we can't do it, my brother Zhizhou will support us."
Well, you know what you are."
After hearing Liu Gao's sarcastic words, Liu Piaopiao's eyes flashed fiercely, then disappeared, and she only said respectfully: "That's what Madam taught you."
While they were talking, the old steward led the young master Liu Yi to the outside of the main hall. Before the old butler could report, Liu Yi walked into the main hall as usual, and said as he walked: "Dad,
Mom, the baby is back. Why are you so anxious to find me? Mom, let me tell you, I will bring one back from outside the city today..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Master Liu: "It's unreasonable. There is a 'distinguished guest' in the house. You still don't shut up and barge in without telling me. If you do it again, I will punish you severely."
"After scolding her son, Liu Piaopiao put on a respectful look, saluted the 'distinguished guest' and said, "Elder, don't blame me, my son is spoiled by his mother."
"I'm spoiled by you? You old bastard, this little brat is causing trouble outside all day long, why don't I follow behind you and wipe your butts all day long?" Mrs. Liu Gao felt unhappy when she heard Master Liu scolding her son. Ever since
When marrying Liu Piaopiao, Liu Gao relied on his brother's official position and did not take Liu Piaopiao into his eyes at all.
Master Liu gave Mrs. Liu a vicious look. Mrs. Liu had taken a fancy to her back then. Her brother Gao Lian and the sect master tried to intimidate her, but she couldn't resist, so she married this shrew. After they got married, this shrew didn't do anything.
She never looked like a wife and only treated herself as a servant. How many times did Liu Piaopiao think of divorcing his wife? But thinking about the Liu Village that she had built with her own hands, Liu Piaopiao still swallowed her anger bitterly.
, he apologized to his wife repeatedly.
The 'honored guest' saw that the Liu family couple was so strong in women and weak in men, not to mention that Liu Gao's mother and son had no respect for him, so he thought of knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger. So he smiled and held up Master Liu's hand and said: "Hey, now you
As the master of a village, you don't have to be like this. I think your son is a very talented person. I didn't prepare any gifts when I came here today. How about teaching him a few tricks as a greeting gift?"
Liu Yi didn't like martial arts at all. Hearing that this ugly-looking 'guest' wanted to teach him some martial arts skills, Liu Yi was about to refuse, but was pressed down by his mother, so he had to kowtow reluctantly. 'Gui Ke' "Hey hey.
"Smiled, said no more, and left the main hall.
Although Mrs. Liu Gao relied on her brother's official position to dominate Liu Piaopiao, she also knew that although the 'distinguished guest' in front of him was ugly, he was extremely skilled in martial arts.
Recently, I made inquiries at the door and learned that there were rumors in the door that this person had surpassed the realm of Dengtang and had reached the level of a weapon-breaking person. Knowing that her son was reluctant, Mrs. Liu Gao still leaned down and said with a smile to her son: "Good son.
, My dear, you learn a few moves from your senior, and with him teaching you a few moves, from now on you can do whatever you want in Liangzhou City, even in the north." Seeing their son bowing respectfully and kowtow, the couple said
He helped his son up and followed the 'distinguished guest' to a rockery with a water feature outside the main hall.
