Chapter 139: Bargaining

"Master, General Shen is here."

"please come in."

As he was talking, someone suddenly came outside the door. It was getting late at this time, and Wen Li originally thought that it would be good to rest early today. However, he had already stood up and was about to leave the palace, but suddenly remembered something, which made him urgently ask for help. Shen Xuanming is here.

Xuan Ming turned around and entered the palace. As he walked, he held his head high and showed the demeanor of a mature general. He was actually young among the generals in West Lake, but he was rare and brave. The leader was promoted to the front of the palace to work with Kong Yuechuan and other veterans.

But although this general was very brave when riding and shooting, he actually had an elegant demeanor when walking around.

On weekdays, when General Mi Yu wins a victory, he will inevitably ride on his tall horse and wear red flowers on his head to celebrate in the city. Their faces have been seen by various wealthy families. When Shen Xuanming was sixteen years old, a man straddled the city. Following the generals on the white horse, young girls from all walks of life followed him out of the house and walked through the streets all day without wanting to go home.

General Shen's current wife, Qiu'er, is not from a famous family, but is just the daughter of a commoner family.

Seeing that Xuan Ming still looked as elegant as before when he approached, Wen Li couldn't help but smile at this elder brother who was several years older than him. Xuan Ming bowed in front of the head:

"Since the master granted me the marriage, I have been traveling around a lot and failed to express my gratitude. I ask the master to forgive me."

"That's serious." Wen Li stepped forward and helped him up, "The general is newly married, but he still puts the West Lake issue first. Mi Yu gets this general, ahem... Li is lucky."

Since the death of the head Wen Xian, the eldest son Wen Li has matured much faster than everyone imagined. At first, there were many older and famous generals or sects in Mi Yu who saw that Wen Li was young and weak, so they took advantage of the new head. The position of the door gave rise to a lot of hesitation.

But now when Xuan Ming saw Wen Li's behavior and conversation, the youthfulness of the past had long faded away, and he seemed to have become an adult.

After the two of them sat down, Wen Li said casually: "Mr. Ruo has been talking for a long time in the afternoon, and they are all about governing the country, being diligent and caring for the people. I didn't say it in front of Mr. Ruo, but Li really felt annoyed when he heard it. , I want to invite the general to come and talk about something."

"It turns out that Mr. Ruo came here in the afternoon." Xuan Ming's heart tightened, but she pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, "Mr. Ruo, did you talk about the recent events in the world?"

The young leader smiled and shook his head: "General Shen, are you trying to trick me?"

"The general will not dare."

I saw Wen Li taking a sip of tea calmly and said slowly: "Even if Mr. Ruo didn't talk about the recent affairs in the world, Li has heard about them. Logically speaking, they are just a few idlers living in Tiangu." If you cause trouble, let Tian Keju find out for himself and send him away."

"Master, that's not true." After hearing what Wen Li said, Xuan Ming couldn't help but lean forward, "There is something I don't know if the master is willing to listen to."

Wen Li's expression did not change and he smiled and said: "Since the general is willing to speak, Li is naturally all ears."

"Reporting to the leader, Tiankeju sends out disciples every night to kill and eliminate dissidents. This is no longer a day or two."

"Seriously?" Upon hearing this, Wen Li couldn't help but his eyes widened.

"It's absolutely true." Xuan Ming paused and continued, "The older of the two people who went to complain in front of Tiankeju was originally a servant of the Zhang family who was wiped out. The name of the master of the Zhang family is Shaozhi, who has been known for generations. They both practice swordsmanship, and both husband and wife are good at wielding long swords, and are quite famous in the world. And that child is the orphan of the Zhang family."

When Wen Li listened, he felt like he was hearing a story, and his expression showed unbelievable surprise.

"The general couldn't believe it at first, but later, he personally found the person who killed all the Zhang family members."

"Who did this!" Head Wen couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Yes... he is a wild man in the world. He was taken into Tiankeju by Mr. Ruo. His name is unknown. In the end, I heard from the man's words that Tiankeju calls these murders and silences 'work'. Every night

, there are disciples under Tiankeju, or they are good hands who have been raised, and they go out to complete their work. Once the sword is unsheathed, the whole family is often wiped out, leaving no one behind. But in fact, they kill people, but they are frightened by Ruo

The husband's methods were so cruel that he didn't dare to disobey them, but he never knew what mistakes those people had committed. The reason why the two Zhang family members were able to escape from the tiger's mouth this time and even ran back to Tiankeju to file a complaint was because they were assigned a job that night

The man saw how pitiful they were, so he secretly let the old man and the young child go."

Xuan Ming finished speaking these things in one breath, and the air suddenly fell into silence. Wen Li frowned and was silent in thought. The tea cup had already cooled down, and there were still a few leaves stuck to the wall of the cup, but Head Wen just stared at it for a long time.

.

I don't know if the leader is willing to listen to these words - Xuan Ming didn't dare to say anything anymore.

As time passed, the hourglass in the hall kept ringing, and the rustling sound was surprisingly loud for some reason. Wen Li took a deep breath, and then slowly uttered a sentence:

"Li wants to meet this person."

When Xuan Ming heard this, he looked hesitant: "Actually, the leader knows this person."

"Oh?" Wen Li seemed to be interested, and he secretly searched for the old minister he had met in the past. However, he heard Xuan Ming continue: "It's just that at this time, it's not appropriate for this person to come to see him. Suddenly there is one less person in Tiankeju, Mr. Ruo

The disciples and I will definitely be searching for you secretly. If we come out to meet each other now, I'm afraid..."

Hearing Xuan Ming's explanation, Head Wen nodded, no longer reluctant. The Head looked up and down at General Shen's slightly forward body, and saw that the young general's face was serious and eager. He was afraid that this matter would be reported to the police at this time.

He must have had a plan in mind. Wen Li narrowed his eyes and asked: "Li has indeed never heard of the current situation and has never known it. If everything the general said is true, I'm afraid Li will have to go find Mr. Ruo and ask.

Clearly. What does the general think?"

"Master, I will finally have an idea, which may be safer."

"tell me the story."

"On weekdays, the general has made friends with one or two good people in the world. These days, it is better for the master to keep silent, as usual, and let the general quietly sneak into Tianke's residence to investigate. Wait until the general knows.

It won’t be too late to report the details of the jobs I received to the boss.”

After hearing this, Wen Li thought quickly in his mind for a moment, then nodded. Xuan Ming bowed again and retreated outside the hall. But General Shen must not have known that his every move at this time had long been seen by the shadow of Tian Keju.

in the eyes.

It was rare to be cool in the afternoon, so Qingqing picked up a pebble from his hand and threw it into the shallow pool. He heard the pebble fall into the water with a "thunk" sound, and pushed up a layer of water splash on the surface of the water.

Qingqing thought silently in his heart: "True business."

He picked up another stone and threw it into the pool. This stone was light and thin, and it actually made a sound of "turning into feathers". Qingqing smiled slightly - this was the only skill left in his body. God is kind.

, in addition to leaving his own life, he also forgot to take away the listening skills he had acquired.

Regardless of meeting those top masters, with this kind of thing, it is enough for him to fight and kill in the arena for several years. Qingqing thought this way, picked up a light stone, and threw it with all his strength——

Zhengyu.

Qingqing just recited the names of those tones silently in his heart. To outsiders, it was just that he had been bored in the house for a long time and passed the time in boredom. Amidst the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong throwing stones, Qingqing heard Qiu'er gradually approaching and turned around. Turn around and smile at her.

Qiu'er also smiled: "Young hero, if you are bored, let's walk around the street through the back door?"

Qing Qing shook his head: "That's all. Rather than letting General Shen find out, it's better for me to hold it in for a few more days."

"Then let's go find some pastries to eat. Xuan Ming brought new sweet-scented osmanthus cake from outside last time. I heard that the taste is not the same..." Halfway through, Qiu'er suddenly bent down and retched for some unknown reason. Several times. Qingqing was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, looked at her face and said:

"Why does Madam look so weak all of a sudden? Could it be that the weather is changing hot and cold, and Madam has eaten something bad?"

There was a mysterious smile in Qiu'er's eyes, and she just waved her hand and said, "It's okay. It's just that I can't help but feel nauseous when I think about the food I eat recently. But when it's time to eat, I can't help but want to eat a lot. .Last time, a large basket of sour green oranges came to the house, and I ate most of them all by myself..."

"Isn't it easy for Madam to like eating green oranges? There is a general outside..." Qingqing was talking to himself before he suddenly realized, "Ah, it turns out..."

Qiu'er's cheeks suddenly turned red, but she still couldn't help smiling and nodded lightly.

Qingqing watched Qiu'er subconsciously put her hands on her lower abdomen, and couldn't help but feel her thoughts wander. Although Qiu'er is not familiar with the world, there are always advantages to being naive. Counting it all, it has only been a year since the two got married. Unexpectedly, Qiu'er now has the same bloodline as her and General Shen in her belly... Somehow, Qingqing secretly thought that it would have been better if she could have had time to leave a bloodline with her master.

I was in a daze, and suddenly I woke up. Why did I start thinking about these old things again?

Qiu'er is a few years younger than herself, but she has already shown her mother's appearance for the first time. Every frown and smile has a unique charm revealed in it. Qingqing can't help but look at Qiu'er a few more times, as if she is already looking forward to her belly. The bulging look. While in trance, Qingqing suddenly remembered something, looked at Qiu'er and asked:

"Now is the time when you need someone to accompany you. Why has General Shen come back so late in the past few days?"

"Oh, I told you first, but Xuan Ming doesn't know yet." Qiu'er tilted her head and thought, "My husband always says that it's too chaotic outside, so he doesn't like to tell me what's going on in the world. But I also heard him mention it, it seems that it is because the leader always wants to see him..."

Hearing the word "head", Qingqing's heart suddenly tightened. When Xuan Ming and Wen Li met, what exactly did he say? In other words, was he talking about Tiankeju, or... Tell us about Linghu’s descendants?

Since the last time she poured out Wen Li's wine in Ruixin Pagoda in front of everyone, the disciples around her who could occasionally say hello to each other have stayed away from her. Even if they saw her figure early, they would deliberately avoid it. It seems that he is afraid of being seen having anything to do with this Dongshan orphan named "Linghu Qingqing".

The strange thing is that I have been hiding in General Shen's mansion for many days. If Tian Keju really wanted to investigate, I am afraid that I would have been taken back for questioning. But almost a month has passed, Head Wen is quiet, and Mr. Ruo has no clue.

There was movement. This actually made Qingqing anxious——
