From Kunlun Pavilion to Zhuwu Lianzhuang, the journey is neither long nor short.
Zhang Wuji walked this section of the road for more than ten days in the original work. This was because he had cold poison and trauma on his body, so he could not walk quickly. Secondly, he did not know the way. He was not heading towards Zhuwu Lianzhuang Village.
I just bumped into it by chance while wandering aimlessly.
Now it was replaced by Meng Xiuyuan and three others on horseback, and Zhu Changling personally led the way. They probably only walked for two or three days and were almost there.
"My benefactor, after passing this forest, you can see my Red Plum Villa."
Zhu Changling said to Meng Xiuyuan very politely.
On the road these days, Zhu Changling frequently introduced the situation at home to Meng Xiuyuan, so Meng Xiuyuan now understood it.
The so-called "Zhuwu Lianzhuang" was built by the descendants of Zhu Ziliu and Wu Xiuwen in the Kunlun Mountains. It is divided into Zhu and Wu families. Although they live next to each other, they are not just one village, so it is called Lianlianzhuang.
.
The Zhuangzi on the Zhu family's side is called Hongmei Villa.
Meng Xiuyuan smiled and nodded when he heard this, but did not say anything, appearing slightly distant.
In recent days, when Zhu Changling paid attention to him, he always looked like this indifferently.
It's not that he is really arrogant or unattainable, but when faced with the old fox Zhu Changling, Meng Xiuyuan chose to actively distance himself and deliberately set up a cold persona.
In this way, you will have less trouble to deal with him in the future, and you can talk less, making it less likely that you will expose your flaws in front of this old fox.
But Zhu Changling didn't care about this at all, or in his heart, it would be abnormal for a young genius like Meng Xiuyuan who already had superb martial arts skills at a young age not to have any arrogance in him.
So along the way, apart from the fact that Song Qingshu was a little strange when he saw Meng Xiuyuan, and kept it in his heart without saying anything, Meng Xiuyuan and Zhu Changling got along very well under this mode.
…
At this time, the journey was almost over, so the three of them continued to ride forward without rest, hoping to enter Hongmei Villa before lunch.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the forest, he heard a dense barking of dogs in the distance, with human voices wailing in between.
Meng Xiuyuan frowned when he heard the sound, and looked from a distance, and sure enough he saw a group of more than a dozen vicious dogs, chasing and biting one person.
The man struggled desperately to resist and escape, but he could not escape from so many ferocious big dogs. He was knocked to the ground before he could run a few steps.
Seeing this situation, Meng Xiuyuan was eager to save people, and quickly jumped up from the horse gifted by the Kunlun Sect. He flew forward with the speed of the horse and flew forward for a distance of seven to eight feet before landing, and then started to fly.
He ran like a sharp arrow towards the vicious dogs.
Zhu Changling and Song Qingshu behind him also saw the scene of the vicious dog hurting people in the distance. Although their thoughts were very different, they both showed anxious looks and hurriedly rode forward with their whips raised.
go.
Although the two of them were riding rare horses, they were still unable to match Meng Xiuyuan's speed, and they were separated by a considerable distance in just a moment.
But even so, it took Meng Xiuyuan more than ten breaths to run to that place.
The man dressed as a servant was lying on the ground. At this time, his whole body was bitten with blood by the vicious dog. Although the vicious dog did not bite the key position, he seemed to be safe for a while, but his appearance was very miserable. He was lying on the ground.
Wailed loudly.
"Hmph!" Meng Xiuyuan took action with anger, his swords and palms came out, and in just a moment, he slaughtered all the dozens of murderous dogs without leaving a single one behind.
"You...who are you? How dare you kill my generals?"
Not far away, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old held a long whip and looked at Meng Xiuyuan in shock and anger. Although she was very beautiful, her stern and sinister expression at this time made people dislike her.
Looking at her angry look, if Meng Xiuyuan's martial arts hadn't shocked her, the whip in her hand might have been whipped at Meng Xiuyuan at this time.
Thinking about it, there is no doubt that this girl is Zhu Jiuzhen.
Meng Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes, and just as he was about to speak to her, Zhu Changling behind him had already caught up.
Zhu Changling dismounted from his horse, rushed to his daughter with a quick step, and slapped her in the face with a "Pah!"
"Dad?!" Zhu Jiuzhen covered his cheek and looked at his father in disbelief.
Zhu Changling's face was livid at this time, his eyes were extremely wide-eyed, and he shouted loudly:
"Bastard! The descendants of the Zhu family are getting better and better. After I gave birth to such a good daughter, will I still have the dignity to see my ancestors underground in the future?
I have only been away from the village for more than ten days, and you have committed such a cruel act. Is this what I teach you on a daily basis?"
Zhu Jiuzhen has been favored by his parents since he was a child, and he did not even say a serious scolding. Today, he was slapped hard by his father in front of others. He felt very aggrieved for a while, sobbed for a long time, and then said with a slight cry:
"Liu Fu stole a lot of things from home, and I just discovered it yesterday. Shouldn't I punish him?
And I didn’t want to kill him, I just ordered the generals to bite his limbs. If I had ordered him to bite his throat and lower abdomen, how could he still be alive until now..."
In the middle of Zhu Jiuzhen's words, she heard a "pop!" and Zhu Changling interrupted her with another backhand slap:
"Shut up! How dare you talk back?!
Even if Liu Fu stole something, how could he be punished in this way?
Although he sold himself as a slave in our family, he is still a human being, a living person!
My Zhu family has passed down the tradition from generation to generation and prides itself on chivalry. Your great-grandfather Liu Gong assisted Master Zuo Yideng, served as prime minister in Dali, and later helped defend Xiangyang and became famous all over the world. What kind of hero is that?
Who would have thought that my unworthy descendants would have a daughter like this in the hands of me, Zhu Changling..."
Zhu Changling said with a bitter look on his face, and for a moment he seemed a little lonely. He then turned away from Zhu Jiuzhen and ignored him. Instead, he turned to the servant Liu Fu who was lying on the ground and carefully checked his injuries.
After a while, Zhu Changling raised his head and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Shaoxia, my family is unfortunate, and we have such an unworthy daughter. I made you laugh today.
But I have no time to say much at this time. I have to return to Zhuangzi as soon as possible so that I can treat Liu Fu.
If I'm rude, I'll apologize to you later."
As he spoke, Zhu Changling personally bent down and lifted up Liu Fu's body, placing it on the horse. Then he ignored Meng Xiuyuan and rode his horse towards Hongmei Villa in the distance, looking anxious to save people.
It can't be any other way.
When Meng Xiuyuan saw his performance, he only found it funny and couldn't help but sneer at it in his heart.
Together with the crying Zhu Jiuzhen in front of him, Meng Xiuyuan had already been blacklisted in his heart.
It's just that it's fashionable and not suitable to fall out. Once the evil deeds of the entire Zhu and Wu family are found out and dealt with together, it will be less likely to make mistakes.
