Jiangnan Prefecture, Murong Family.
As one of the prominent families in Jiangnan, the Murong family has a second only to the Zhang family in Jiangnan. Even if the Zhang family is in Jiangnan, it will give the Murong family some face.
The reason is nothing special. Although the Murong family has been far worse than before over the years, because the legitimate daughter in the family is a concubine in the palace, no one dares to provoke her.
At this time, in Murong Mansion, Murong Chong, the head of the Murong family, was drinking tea in the back hall. After a while, a middle-aged man walked in from outside. Murong Chong asked, "Why is it messy outside?"
The middle-aged man said: "When my father, the father and son of Zhang and Wang who disappeared yesterday were tied up this morning and threw them in the street market. When the Zhang family and the constables of the government office found them, they were already dead. They are now talking about this matter."
Murong Chong asked, "Is it the people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance who killed them?"
The middle-aged man said, "No, it is said that when someone first discovered them, they were still alive. Later, more and more people were watching, and the scene became more and more chaotic. When the Zhang family arrived, the crowd had dispersed and the four people died."
Murong Chong put down the teacup and said, "This is all their own fault, and they are just taking it upon themselves."
After a pause, he asked again: "How is Yu'er's practice?"
The middle-aged man said: "She has made great progress these days, but she should be a little far from the ground level."
Murong Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If I hadn't stopped me, with Yu'er's talent, I could easily enter the Academic Art Academy. It would be impossible for me to be ranked in the Tianzi Academy. Maybe I had already had the Earth level, but I had delayed her..."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's not my father's fault, my sister... she doesn't want to have any involvement with the Murong family, and I'm afraid she doesn't want to see my Murong family members in the king capital."
Murong Chong was silent for a moment and said, "But this is not fair to Yu'er. The world is big. She shouldn't stay in this small Jiangnan all her life. Let her participate in this Xiaobi..."
The two were talking in the room, but they didn't know that outside the room, an invisible figure floated in the air in the yard.
Before coming to Jiangnan, the imperial concubine was worried about Lin Xiu and gave him a jade token, which made him come to the Murong family when he encountered something he could not solve.
However, the Murong family cannot solve the problems that the Imperial Concubine does not understand his strength.
Before returning to the capital, Lin Xiu wanted to come to Murong's house to see where the imperial concubine grew up.
The old man in the room should be the father of the concubine, while the middle-aged man should be her brother. It is not difficult to hear from their words that the concubine and the family seem to have some unresolvable conflict.
This led to the Murong family members not appearing in Kyoto these years, and the Imperial Concubine never returned to Jiangnan once.
Lin Xiu was still wondering before that even if the palace concubines could not go out casually, they would not have been allowed to go back to their parents' home for so many years.
It seems that his previous thoughts are simply impossible to achieve.
Even if he secretly brought the Imperial Concubine back to Jiangnan and back to Murong Mansion, she might not be happy.
But, what is the conflict between her and her family?
Force her to enter the palace and become a concubine?
It is indeed a bit strange to say that her relationship with Emperor Xia is a couple. Lin Xiu knows Xia Huang's harem well. Perhaps only Empress Shu, who looks like a couple with him, now she needs an extra widow.
But their relationship is definitely not bad. If it weren't for the imperial concubine, his pretty widow would have been defeated by the queen when he chose the concubine.
Lin Xiu visited Murong Mansion. As a wealthy family in Jiangnan, Murong Mansion is not as luxurious as the top families in the royal capital, but the environment is very good. The house has mountains and waters, and it has a typical garden style.
The Imperial Concubine and her family had an unresolvable conflict for more than ten years. Because she was worried about him and did not hesitate to make an exception, Lin Xiu was even more moved.
He slowly floated in Murong Mansion, remembering every room, every tree, and every rockery in his heart.
In a certain courtyard, there were gusts of wind breaking.
Lin Xiu flew over slowly and saw a 17 or 18-year-old girl practicing swords in the yard. He looked at it for a while and was secretly surprised.
This girl is about the same age as Minghe Lingyin, but her martial arts strength is really good. The younger generation in the martial arts academy may not be her opponents. Lingyin and Princess Minghe's martial arts are much worse than her.
There is such a genius in the Murong family.
Lin Xiu was just a little surprised. Just as he was about to go somewhere else to look, the woman practicing sword in the yard suddenly changed her expression. She looked in the direction of Lin Xiu and said vigilantly: "Who!"
Before she finished speaking, she had turned into a afterimage, raising her sword to stab her in the direction where Lin Xiu was.
Lin Xiu was really shocked this time. His current hidden art could not even detect the earth-level warriors, and she obviously did not have the earth-level yet, so she actually found his direction accurately.
Soon, Lin Xiu knew the reason.
The movements she flew in was light and elegant, as if she was moving in the wind. Ordinary ground-level warriors could not do this. Before her sword could be stabbed, several sharp wind blades came first.
It's actually the strange technique of wind.
In the Heavenly Level Agent Art, wind, thunder, and ice are more rare than the ability of the Five Elements.
If it is Feng's ability, it is not surprising to feel his existence.
His concealment just disappears from people's sight, not really disappears, but when he moves, it will still cause air to flow and form a breeze, which naturally cannot hide the perception of the wind-based ability.
The wind blade is extremely sharp, not weaker than the sword blade, and is extremely fast. It is difficult for the ground-level warriors to avoid it from several meters away, but no matter how fast they are, they are not as fast as Lin Xiu.
He easily dodged several wind blades, and the girl's sword also stabbed the sky.
A look of surprise appeared on her face, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "It was you who killed the Zhang family father and son and Jiang Nanyin, what are you doing in our house?"
Soon, a magnetic voice came from the void: "Just pass by."
The girl pulled a sword flower, put away the long sword in her hand, and said, "These people did all the bad things and killed them can be considered a good thing for the people."
She put the sword on the stone table in the yard, walked into the room, took a jar of wine, and asked, "Do you want a drink?"
Lin Xiu discovered that the logo on the wine jar was actually from Hongniju.
She opened the wine seal and a strong fragrance came to her face. Then she poured two bowls of wine and said, "This wine is very expensive, two hundred taels of silver per jar, and I can't buy it even if I have silver."
Only the kings of Hongniju are sold in Hongniju. The ones sold in other places are either fake or scalpersed.
Lin Xiu smelled the wine, but she must have been made a difference by the middlemen. The 200 taels per jar of wine she bought was only sold for thirty or forty taels in Wangdu, which can only be considered a medium-grade one.
Lin Xiu did not drink with her and said, "I can't drink."
His alcohol capacity is indeed not good. He can get drunk in one bowl.
The girl said, "It's just right if you don't drink it, I'm a little reluctant to let it go."
This girl is quite as heroic as a northern woman, and doesn't look like a Jiangnan woman at all.
However, it may also be the genetic problem of the Murong family.
The Imperial Concubine is in the palace, but she is also known as a tigress and does not have the gentleness of a woman from Jiangnan.
Lin Xiupiao in the air and asked, "What's your name?"
The girl said, "Murong Yu, where are you?"
Lin Xiu said: "My name doesn't matter. Ask you a question, what's your aunt's name?"
The girl looked at the void and frowned and said, "What do you ask my aunt's name for?"
Lin Xiu said: "I'm curious. It's said that the Imperial Concubine is the number one beauty in the harem. I'm curious what kind of name a beauty like this would have."
The girl shook her head and said, "Nothing can be told."
A whisper came from the void.
Then, a jar of wine appeared out of thin air in the void. After the wine seal was lifted, the fragrance quickly spread, which was even more tempting than the jar of wine she drank.
The girl showed surprise in her eyes. At this moment, there were more than one person in the Murong family, at least with the ability to hide, fly, and space. No wonder the Zhang family and his son fell into their hands so easily.
Then, her eyes stared at the jar of wine, and her throat couldn't help but move.
But the jar of wine disappeared the next moment.
After four awakenings, Lin Xiu's portable space was already very large and most of the area was not available, so he used it as a warehouse. He had stored a lot of the strongest wine in the red mud place, so that he could get the other party drunk and get it.
I didn't expect that it would come in other useful things today.
He smiled at the girl and said, "It's just a name. I can find out if I ask about it somewhere else. I just don't want to trouble you. Tell me the name of the concubine and I'll give you this jar of wine, how about it?"
The girl said without hesitation: "Murong Mingzhu."
After she finished speaking, the jar of wine flew to her.
Lin Xiu read this name several times in his heart and asked, "You just made up a name and lied to me, right?"
The girl curled her lips and said, "Auntie was either born or a concubine. Many people around here know her name. Why should I lie to you?"
Lin Xiu dispelled his suspicion and asked again: "I heard that the relationship between the Imperial Concubine and your Murong family is not very good. Is it true?"
The girl protected the jar of wine and said, "This is the family business of our Murong family and has nothing to do with you."
Another jar of wine appeared in the void, but this time, no matter how tempted Lin Xiu was, the girl would not say a word anymore.
Finally, Lin Xiu gave her another jar of wine and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it. We'll leave, there will be a date later."
After that, no sound came around.
Murong Yu closed his eyes and the wind blew from all directions. He encountered no obstacles in the void, which meant that those people had left.
