Chapter 38 Slap in the face
A wolf howl came from the east courtyard of Gaojiazhuang. The gray wind's cute howl echoed among the courtyards, which made Ling Yun's annoyance at this time add a little bit to the vain.
Although the room was very warm and comfortable, Ling Yun couldn't help but sit up from the couch after hearing this, closed the book in his hand and placed it on the edge of the teacup. It was the first time since he had raised the gray wind that he heard it howl like this. It seemed to be a wild call, seducing the turbulence deep in his heart, like a mysterious force contained it, luring out the wildness deep in his heart.
The howl of the wolf sounded again. Ling Yun frowned when he heard it, threw down the book, walked quickly to the door and put on his shoes. The morning light outside the door had already lit the sky and earth, and a ray of light was shining. The candlelight in the house was swaying, and the oil was gone. He didn't sleep all night last night. It was the good day for him and Qianxue to finish their wedding and enter the wedding chamber. But in the end, he was the only one night of Han Ye reading books alone. It was not Qianxue's sudden regret, but was delayed by other things. Ling Yun showed disregard for the surface, but was actually very dissatisfied with it. The wedding had been delayed twice, and he has not been able to truly marry Qianxue. This time, Chen Xiong, who interrupted their wedding, was the one who disliked the most.
He moved his stiff and sore legs to the door. After a little massage, he walked to the small couch beside the door. Mulan was lying on the couch, already asleep, and was still snoring softly, resting her head on an open scroll book. Ling Yun glanced at the title of the book, and it turned out to be "Tao Te Ching". No wonder this girl fell asleep. Last night she insisted that she would accompany him to read the book, but Ling Yun asked her to go to the bookshelf to find a book by herself. Unexpectedly, this girl actually took this book. A girl like Mulan must not be able to read anything when she was talking about this book, and it was inevitable that she would sleep. "Mulan!" He called out softly, and she called several times before she started yelling.
I woke up, blinked in confusion, and there was a string of crystal-clear saliva threads hanging on the corner of my mouth. "I'll go out for a walk, put the book back and sleep for a while. But remember to wipe the saliva you left on it. This Tao Te Ching is a treasure, which is made of white teeth and yellow and red toothpicks. It is also handwritten by Zhong Yao, a famous calligraphy master of Wei Dynasty. It is worth a lot of money. It was stole from the girl Mingyue. If it is destroyed, we will both be finished." Mulan seemed to wake up and yawned at him in a daze. Ling Yun had to explain it again, then rubbed the girl's slightly dispersed bun and left.
When he walked out the door, Qinglian was awake and was making hot water for him. He also carefully brought him fresh millet porridge and a bowl of mutton soup for him. Lingyun praised her a few words, and Qinglian immediately smiled brightly. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth and ate breakfast, Lingyun walked out of the yard and took a deep breath of cold air in the morning. Then he walked slowly along the stone road, preparing to go to the horse house to feed the gray wind where he lived. The stone road was very long, and many willows were planted on both sides. In the two empty fields on the roadside, many servants of the Gao family were practicing martial arts. In front of him, the servants of the Chen family were practicing. As soon as he approached, he heard a harsh voice from a subordinate of Chen Xiong. "This little lady in the Gao family has a great score. She dared to refuse the proposal to marry in person."
Ling Yun stopped and through the gaps in the tree, he saw several guards of the Chen family standing beside the young Chen Xiong, surrounded by a group of servants. "Gao Mingyue is also a princess at least. It's nothing to be arrogant. Conquering such a woman is good enough. Besides, this woman still has some capital, and she has a beautiful face and a good figure. It's said that Gao Qianxue can't live for thirty years. A big storm in the Gao family will sooner or later. If you marry Gao Mingyue, you will naturally get the Gao family's belongs." Chen Xiong said frivolously, "It's the damn wild wolf who kept calling out the young master Qingmeng early in the morning. It's just as annoying as its owner."
A guard team said with a lewd smile: "It's the young master's lord. Could it be that after meeting the Gao Mingyue sisters yesterday, I have conquered him in my dream in the evening."
"Hahaha!" The group of people laughed knowingly.
The subordinates of the team brought him a big sword. He drew out the sword and waved it hard a few times. The sword blade broke through the air and made a roar. "If the young master doesn't like this wild wolf, I will go and slaughter that wild thing. I can add a dish this morning." He inserted the sword back into the scabbard, picked up a meteor chain hammer, tried the weight, and gestured a few times in the cold air. "If you need it, I can even kill the son-in-law who is unknown."
Chen Xiong seemed very happy to hear this idea, "Go to kill the wolf cub." He shouted, "It just happened that I had no appetite in the morning, and the wolf cub's meat would probably be very tender when roasted. Anyway, its owner is just a son-in-law. That guy dared to take the gold beads that I rewarded yesterday, but rode my horse to take the woman for a ride outside. It was really outrageous. I ate his wolf today and let him know that my horse is not that easy to ride."
Another team leader who was capturing a bamboo steel whip smiled and said, "I saw the girl brought by the son-in-law yesterday, and after eating his wolf cub, the young master can call the girl to play with her. When the young master finished eating the meat, we can also drink some soup."
Lingyun passed through the willow trees by the roadside and came to the empty venue.
"Young Master Chen, I'm so embarrassed." Ling Yun sneered at Chen Xiong, "Young Master Chen, although Gaojiazhuang is hospitable, not anyone can bully you."
Chen Xiong didn't expect Ling Yun to hear what he had just said, and he blushed for a moment.
"Can the son-in-law speak for the Gao family?" Chen Xiong's head of the guards deliberately said contemptuously, "The son-in-law is just a domestic dog. Besides, I heard that you have not really entered the Gao family yet.
Chen Xiong immediately smiled. With so many servants supporting him, he felt much more courageous. The guard Chen Wei was right. Ling Yun was just a son-in-law of the Gao family, so why bother to be afraid of him?
Ling Yun didn't care, but just sneered, "It's more qualified than you, the outsiders." Then he glanced over Chen Xiong with a cold look, "Young Master Chen, no matter whether you are the emperor's grandson or the prince, since you are visiting the Gao family, you have to show respect for your master. Now, I want you to apologize for what you said just now."
After hearing this, Chen Xiong immediately showed a disapproving look of arrogance, "It's just a few jokes, so how can you apologize?"
"You must apologize!" Ling Yun replied, his tone undeniable.
"What are you?" Chen Xiong was angry and embarrassed, "A son-in-law from the Gao family dared to talk to me like this."
A cold light flashed in Ling Yun's eyes, and he raised his hand and slapped Chen Xiong hard with thunder. Chen Xiong's cheeks immediately became red and swollen, and that made the corner of his mouth bloody.
"Apology, immediately!" Ling Yun said: "Otherwise, I will give you another slap!"
"I want to kill you son-in-law!" Chen Xiong was completely stunned. He didn't expect Ling Yun to dare to hit it. Although it was in Gaojiazhuang, there were all his people in this scene.
Ling Yun shook his hand and slapped Chen Xiong again without hesitation. Now he had a slap on his face, which was very symmetrical.
"If you want to do something, you will do it." Ling Yun smiled dissatisfiedly, "But you still have to apologize to me. Not only do you have to apologize to me, but you also have to apologize in person in front of the princess and the princess, saying that you are very sorry for what you just now and express your sincere repentance. Have you understood, have you understood?"
Chen Xiong's face was like a pig's head. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been insulted like this. Although he was just an illegitimate son and Nanchen had long destroyed the country, he lived under the wings of the Shen clan of Wuxing over the years and lived a very comfortable life. When did he suffer such a loss? Don't say that Ling Yun asked him to apologize, even Ling Yun apologized to him in turn and could not calm his anger. He couldn't listen to Ling Yun's words, so he jumped up and roared at his servants, "Are you all dead? I haven't seen the young master beaten by this bastard. I'll beat him to death. I'll break his limbs. I want him to survive or die. Let's go together!"
A group of Chen's guards were already surrounded by various weapons, and Ling Yun was not afraid.
Of course, this was not because Ling Yun was confident that he could fight against a hundred. But before he came, he had already asked the girl Qinglian to inform Gao Yi and Gao Qianxue sisters. On the territory of the Gao family, there was a powerful support team, so Ling Yun naturally took the initiative to teach Chen Xiong a lesson without hesitation. Calculate the time, they should have arrived.
Sure enough, just when the Chen family members surrounded him, there was a loud shout outside, "Stop!"
The one who made a statement was Xiao Shiluo. In fact, if it were possible, Xiao Shiluo would be willing to see Chen Xiong's subordinates beat Ling Yun to death. But now he can't. Beside him, Gao Qianxue sisters, Gao Bo and Zhang Bo and a group of people from the Gao family stood beside him. Moreover, behind them, there was a strong Gao family led by the fourth team of Gao A, Gao B, Gao C, Gao Ding. They basically heard the conversation between Ling Yun and Chen Xiong just now. If he didn't say a word and stop, the people from Gaojiazhuang would probably rush forward. In that case, it would be difficult to talk about the alliance this time, let alone more plans.
Gao Qianxue and others walked out from behind the tree together. A large group of Gao family servants stared at them with their eyes blazing fire, as if as long as Gao Qianxue gave her order, they would rush up and slaughter them all here.
Chen Xiong was so ugly that he was dying. At this moment, he didn't know what happened. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only admit defeat for the time being. He reluctantly walked to Gao Qianxue, bent down and bowed his head, and apologized to the two of them. Gao Qianxue and Gao Mingyue sisters stood there and received this apology without even saying a word. Chen Xiong had to turn around in front of Ling Yun, bent down and repaid, and then left in disgrace with the people of the Chen family. This is also Chen Xiong's cleverness. The hero did not suffer the loss before his eyes, and admitted it first, and then found a way to find it back. At the moment, he continued to stay here, which would only make the Gao sisters even more unhappy. It would be better to retreat first and ease it.
Ling Yun watched Chen Xiong leave, and remembered the warning in his low voice when Chen Xiong apologized to him just now. "My surname is Yi, I will never forget what you did just now!"
