One hundred and fifty-nine times, there is no fate
Happy event? What happy event?
Zhao Zheng wanted to ask, but since the other party invited him into the house, he could only put aside his doubts for the time being and follow step by step inside.
There is another person in the living room, a gentle and virtuous middle-aged woman. She is in her late twenties, but her appearance is still in her early twenties. She looks like a big girl. If any woman can take care of herself so well,
, will be very satisfied. Any man will also be very satisfied if he marries a woman with such good looks.
In this world, only women who have reached the realm of the sixth heaven or above at a young age can significantly delay the aging of their skin and maintain their immortal beauty. This is because after a warrior reaches the sixth heaven, both the inside and the outside are clear and beautiful, and can discharge filth.
Clean, this can naturally delay aging.
This woman with good looks was none other than Li Yuanzhan's wife, Ouyang Susu, another member of the Mandarin Duck Heroes. When she saw Zhao Zheng, she immediately put a smile on her face and stood up with a smile. She had seen Zhao Zheng before.
I still laugh when I'm positive, but this time it seems like I'm smiling more happily than every time before.
Zhao Zheng bowed deeply to the female knight, and the three of them took their seats respectively.
After a cup of tea and a few words of greeting, Zhao Zheng asked straight to the point: "Uncle, what is the happy event you just mentioned?"
Li Yuanzhan was also a happy person, and said bluntly: "It's time for men to get married, and it's time for women to get married. What I want to talk to you about is marriage. You are not young. Have you ever been engaged to a girl from another family?"
Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and understood Li Yuanzhan's intention. It seemed that the other party wanted to help him secure a match and match him with a certain girl. According to secular rules, the man should take the initiative to propose marriage to the woman.
.But most of the children in Jianghu are very happy. Occasionally, the reverse situation will occur, and the woman's family will take the initiative to propose marriage to the man.
This kind of thing happened to him once before when he was in Qibao County, and it broke the heart of a good girl. If he really wanted to get married, he would not refuse the marriage then. You know, that girl
The girl he rejected was really nice and a good companion for life.
But no matter how good a girl is, he doesn't want to marry someone from outside the family. It's not that he likes to be a bachelor, but he has too many scruples.
First of all, he is still young. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old now. With his modern concept, he really cannot accept starting a family at such an early age.
Secondly, he has lofty goals and is determined to be a hero. As a knight, a knight punishes evil and eliminates evil, and a hero serves the country and the people. This road is destined to be full of dangers and thorns. He has lived a knife-edge life.
A life of licking blood. He might be killed one day, so it would be better to be alone and carefree. If he became his biological child, he wouldn't be able to work so hard. He is a very responsible person and cannot let his wife and children do it all day long.
He was frightened.
Thirdly, he doesn't like his parents' orders to find a matchmaker, and prefers free love. Even if he wants to get married, he still wants to find a woman who is in love with him.
All in all, all in all, he could find a hundred reasons why he didn't want to get married.
Since you don't want to get married, you can't agree to someone else's marriage, which will only increase the troubles for yourself and others.
However, Li Yuanzhan was his benefactor and it was difficult to refuse him directly, so he could only lie and claim that he was engaged. Children of Jianghu have always been proud and would not be willing to be young. Once they learned that the man was engaged, they would give up the idea of getting married.
Only in this way can the unknown girl stop thinking about him.
Who could that girl be?
It was probably a relative of Chasing the Wind Yuanyang Man or a girl from a friend's family. It was very likely that she had seen the arena match a few days ago, so she fell in love with him.
Zhao Zheng was thinking about the call and thought about many things. He smiled lightly and lied: "Uncle, half a year ago, I was engaged to a girl. I plan to get married within a year or two."
After hearing this, Li Yuanzhan and Ouyang Susu immediately showed obvious disappointment on their faces. The couple looked at each other and communicated with their eyes. Li Yuanzhan turned back and asked: "What's that girl's name?"
Who is your name and where do you live?"
"Like me, she is also from Qibao County, and her name is..." Zhao Zheng made up a make-believe girl on the fly, and even made up a romantic story about Hong Ye's love.
After listening to this narration, Li Yuanzhan said depressedly: "It turns out that you have already made an engagement with someone else. This is really a pity. Otherwise, I would still want to get mine..."
Before Li Yuanzhan could finish his words, Ouyang Susu suddenly interjected: "Otherwise, we would like to marry a girl from a relative's family to you. She is good-looking, martial arts and handsome, and is a perfect match for you. But you
I'm already engaged to another girl, so I have no choice but to let this matter go. It seems that you two are destined to be together."
Li Yuanzhan originally wanted to betroth his daughter to Zhao Zheng, but his wife said that she was a girl from a relative. He was confused and looked at his wife.
Ouyang Susu smiled sweetly and said quietly to her husband: "Since Zhao Zheng has been engaged, we can't betroth Zhenzhen to him. It's better not to say anything about it, so as not to disturb these two little girls."
It will be awkward for you guys to meet each other in the future."
The world is big or small. The relationship between this family and Zhao Zheng is so good that they will definitely meet again in the future. As soon as Li Yuanzhan heard what his beloved wife said was reasonable, he did not reveal the matter.
Zhao Zheng exchanged one white lie for another. He didn't know what he had missed.
Since the marriage could not be settled, the Li couple quickly changed the subject and chatted about various things related to the arena competition.
While chatting, Ouyang Susu left the living room on the pretext of preparing lunch. She said she wanted to prepare lunch, but she went not to the kitchen, but to her daughter's boudoir.
Zhao Zheng did not pay attention to Ouyang Susu's whereabouts and was still talking and laughing with Li Yuanzhan.
During lunch, Li Zhenzhen was not there.
Zhao Zheng noticed this and asked about it, but was prevaricated by the Li family and his wife, leaving him a little confused.
After eating, he stood up to say goodbye and left the temporary residence of the Li family.
Someone shed tears for him that day, and the Li family left Zhujian Villa that day.
…
Dawn night, dawn night.
Someone invited Zhao Zheng to dinner again, and this time the person sitting in the village was Baili Liancheng. In addition to the host and the guest, there was also Zi Hua accompanying him at the banquet. This situation and scene were similar to the one in Luoshu Villa a few months ago.
The meals are exactly the same.
It is a pleasant thing for a few close friends to sit together and have a meal together. This time should be cherished. Who knows when friends will wait until the next time they meet again? How many days, months, years? Or maybe never again in life.
Unable to meet.
Laughing together and crying when parting have made people sigh since ancient times.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Zheng pressed down the half-empty wine glass and talked about a very vulgar topic.
"Brother Baili, before I fought against Kong Yunjie, you and I both bet a large sum of money on me. Now that I have won, the bet has doubled. I have already made these bets today.
I got all the gold, but I wonder if you got yours back?"
"Haha, who would dislike money biting one's hand? I'm afraid that Lu Youfa will lose money and default on the debt, so he will get the money back early." Baili Liancheng said with a smile.
"It's good to have the money." Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded, "You bet on me three times. I won three times. Finally, the money you bet is not in vain."
"Let me tell you something that you may not like to hear. I really didn't expect you to win three games in a row, especially the competition between you and Kong Yunjie. I thought you would lose before. I really didn't expect you to be better than I thought.
You are much more powerful. You even broke through the bottleneck before the competition and reached the sixth heaven. This is the first time I have seen a martial artist who has made such rapid progress like you."
"Thanks to the help of experts behind me, otherwise, I would not have been able to reach the sixth heaven realm so quickly."
"Alas," Baili Liancheng suddenly sighed with a smile, "Why haven't I met such an expert? It would be great if someone could turn me into a sixth-level heavenly warrior. With this skill, even if I can't compete in the world,
If you walk sideways, you can also walk upside down."
"The person who walks upside down is a juggler, not a martial artist." Zhao Zheng smiled and shook his finger.
"I'm just making an analogy. In my opinion, only warriors of the sixth heaven and above are qualified to travel in the world. A little shrimp like me who only has the third heaven is better off staying in the pond." Baili Liancheng.
He smiled bitterly.
"Although you are just a little shrimp, you can find a group of big fish to be your bodyguards. People like me still have to go out in the world, and even if you don't go out, no one will dare to touch you. Wouldn't it be better?
"
"How can being protected by someone be compared to wandering the world on my own? I still prefer to rely on my own ability." Baili Liancheng said with a hand.
Hearing this, Zihua interjected with a smile: "If you want to make a fortune on your own, then practice martial arts hard, don't just talk but don't practice."
"Based on my talent, even if I train hard, I still can't catch up with you two. By the time I reach the sixth or seventh heaven, you two will probably have reached the tenth heaven or even higher.
." Baili Liancheng said dejectedly.
"Stop making excuses, I think you are just lazy. Practice, practice, and all your kung fu are acquired through practice. A lazy guy like you will never want to become a martial arts master in this life. Just be your little shrimp."
." Zihua pointed out.
"The one who knows me is Zi Hua. What you said is absolutely right, I'm just lazy." Baili Liancheng pointed to his nose and raised his glass with a wry smile, "Come on, come on, have a drink for me, a big lazy guy."
The three young people were laughing together, and the three wine glasses clinked together.
I don’t know how many rounds of wine I have passed. Baili Liancheng was drunk, his handsome face was flushed, and his tongue was knotted when he spoke. Zhao Zheng and Zihua also drank a little too much, and they were all relying on each other.
Use internal energy to resolve the alcohol, otherwise, both of them would be blushing and having thick necks.
As the saying goes, you tell the truth when you are drunk, but what Baili Liancheng said when he was drunk was the same as when he was sober, because what he usually said was the truth and not lies.
Baili Liancheng raised his hand and grabbed Zhao Zheng's shoulder, squeezed it tightly, shook his head slightly and said: "I originally planned to extend an olive branch to you after your competition was over, and recruit you to Luoshu Villa, let
You keep me company. But now it seems that I don't need to waste my words anymore."
Zhao Zheng's face turned stiff, and his friend's words struck his heart. It was indeed impossible for him to join Luoshu Villa. There was no room for him to display his ambitions. He said he was sorry, and he could only say sorry.
"No need to apologize, I understand you. If I were you, I would not join a small villa that specializes in business. Good birds choose trees to roost, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve. Your future is limitless,
Naturally, you have to seek development among those big sects. If you enter Luoshu Villa, you will definitely be buried." Baili Liancheng shook Zhao Zheng's shoulder as he spoke. "Tell me about it, brother. After the arena.
Where do you plan to develop? Wudang? Shaolin? Six Gates?"
Now that things have happened, Zhao Zheng no longer needs to beat around the bush. He answered calmly: "I want to join the Taishan Sect. After I leave here, I will go shopping in several surrounding places. After shopping, I will rush to the Taishan Sect.
Try to find a guest there, Elder Dangdang."
"The Taishan Sect is really good. The power of the sect is similar to that of the Wudang Sect. It is one of the best sects in Nanfan Province, and only the Three Sword Sect can compete with it. Moreover, the Taishan Sect is in Nanfan Province, just like Luoshu Villa.
In the south, it will not be difficult for us two brothers to meet each other in the future."
"Yes, I also considered these things, so I chose the Taishan Sect."
"Your choice is right. Let's drink another drink for your choice." Baili Liancheng let go and grabbed the wine glass, "I wish you a bright future and a smooth career after arriving at the Taishan Sect. You will do well in the future.
Now, remember to support my Luoshu Villa."
"Thank you for your good words from Brother Baili! Besides, you said too much in the second half of your sentence. We really shouldn't say the word "support" between us." Zhao Zheng smiled and raised his wine glass.
"I made a mistake. Go to hell with the support. We brothers don't differentiate between each other. What's yours is mine and what's mine is yours. There is no need for support or support. From now on, no one is allowed to say this insulting word again.
If you say that, I will punish myself with three glasses of wine." Baili Liancheng scolded himself a few times and drank the wine in the glass. He was still not satisfied, so he filled the glass with clear and fragrant old wine. Regardless of others' dissuasion, he continued to drink.
Had three glasses of wine.
These three glasses of wine were like the last straw that broke the world. After he finished drinking, he was lying on the table, his face fell into a plate of crystal elbows, and his face was covered with juice.
Zhao Zheng laughed dumbly and pushed Baili Liancheng several times, but he was unable to wake him up.
The best way to sober up is to sleep. Since a person is drunk, it is better to let him continue to sleep. What's more, the three of them have already drank to their heart's content tonight, so there is really no need to continue drinking.
Zhao Zheng clapped his hands twice, called the servants brought by Baili Liancheng into the house, and asked them to take Baili Liancheng away.
There is no banquet that never ends, and this banquet was no different. One of the three people got drunk, and the other two lost their interest in drinking.
"I hope Brother Baili can have a good sleep, let's go." Zhao Zheng stood up and said.
He and Zihua left their temporary residence in Baili Liancheng side by side, and each went to his own residence. Before parting, the two of them could walk for a short distance. Probably because they talked too much during the dinner, after walking outside,
The two fell into silence, and no one started talking.
At this time, the crescent moon is high in the sky and stars are dotted. Under the blowing of the night wind, the heat of the day has disappeared and it has become very cool.
The night breeze blew against his face, and Zhao Zheng sobered up a lot and his spirits were lifted.
"Your footsteps are much softer now than before. It's hard to hear them clearly even if my senses are heightened." Zihua suddenly said, breaking the silence.
"After I arrived at the Sixth Heaven, my body has indeed changed a lot in all aspects, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to defeat Kong Yunjie." Zhao Zheng continued.
"You really gained both fame and fortune this time. You won both the Zi Chu Sword and the fame. From now on, you, the Rising Sun, Zhao Zheng, will become more famous than I, the Flying Bone Picking Flowers, Zi Huan.
"
"Being famous has its advantages and disadvantages. As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Once a person becomes famous, he will attract the jealousy and concern of others."
"But there is also a saying that if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. Do you want to be a mediocre person, or do you want to be an elite person?"
"Of course I still want to be more talented."
"If you want to be a talented person, you have to be famous."
"That's true. The reputation has already been exposed and I can't avoid it anymore. I just hope that the reputation won't bring me too much trouble."
"Don't be afraid if you are in trouble. Don't forget that there are people around you who can help you solve your troubles." Zihua smiled and pointed to the tip of her tender nose.
"Haha, that's right. I also have a powerful bodyguard like you, so what's there to be afraid of?" Zhao Zheng agreed with a smile.
"Help people to the end, send Buddha to the West. We had an agreement before. I will be your bodyguard for a few months and keep you safe all the way. After you leave Zhujian Villa, I will fulfill my promise and continue to give you
I'm a bodyguard. However, after you join the Taishan sect, I won't follow you anymore. I'm not used to living in a big sect. Besides, after you get there, you don't need anyone to protect you. No one dares to
Go to the Taishan sect to cause trouble for you."
"Okay, you just need to protect me to the Taishan sect. But this road is not close, so you will have to work hard on the way." Zhao Zheng agreed.
"You just said that you should go somewhere else before heading to Taishan Sect. Does this 'elsewhere' refer to the second dangerous location?" Zihua asked.
"Yes, among the several places I want to go, one of them will be very dangerous. Fortunately, Senior Sword Slave and you will be with me. The three cobblers are even worthy of Zhuge Liang, let alone the three of us.
Taken together, there shouldn't be anything wrong on the way." Zhao Zheng admitted. He had previously made an appointment with Zihua to go to two dangerous places, one of which was the Baidong Sect. He had already been there before, and there was still one left.
I didn’t go to dangerous places.
"Where is this second dangerous place? You are going there soon, you can tell me now, right? If you still lie to me at this time, I will not accompany you anymore."
"I'm really sorry that I have been locked up for so long. The second place I want to go to is actually the Black Wind Langya Mountain. This place is more dangerous than the Baidong Sect."
"Heifeng Langya Mountain? Why are you going to this den of thieves?" When Zihua heard about this place, she immediately straightened her face and became a little more solemn.
"I went there for two purposes, first to cut down a few trees, and secondly to cut off a human head!" Zhao Zheng answered truthfully, but it raised more questions. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for more novel updates.
