Xiao Feng's persistent opposition did not surprise Li Jiang at all, because he is such a tragic hero who is compassionate and willing to self-destruct for the sake of justice.
He could not be said to be righteous, so Li Jiang changed his perspective and said: "Brother, it is appropriate to observe filial piety for three years to repay your parents for their kindness in raising you. However, Master Confucius never said not to see people during this period, right? The third brother is just attending a funeral.
It’s just a matter of meeting someone on the way and making an agreement. From now on, he will still respect the etiquette.”
After saying that, he turned to Xu Zhu and said, "Right? Third brother."
Xu Zhu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xiao Feng waved his hand and said: "That's not possible, it's just not possible for them to meet in private!"
Li Jiang couldn't help but feel discouraged when he saw this. Why can't this elder brother get enough oil and salt? Then he said dejectedly: "Brother, what do you think we should do?"
Fortunately, Xiao Feng was not like a certain Sima nowadays who could only find trouble but not take action. He said confidently: "I'll go! I'll go to Princess Yinchuan and explain the situation of the third brother to her and ask her to wait for two more years."
Xu Zhu was dumbfounded, and he was deeply moved by his elder brother's coming forward, but as soon as his thoughts changed, he hesitated and said: "Brother...brother, if I don't go, princess...princess may not believe you...
…”
After a brief confusion, Li Jiang came to his senses and persuaded: "Yes, brother, Princess Yinchuan only knows the third brother. How can you prove that it was the third brother who invited you?"
Xiao Feng frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at Li Jiang and said: "Second brother is right. I'm going without any credentials, but if you go, you know the situation in the ice cellar very well anyway."
Now it was Li Jiang's turn to be stunned, realizing that he had fallen into Xiao Feng's trap.
Wang Yuyan and Luo Kongkong also didn't understand. It was originally a matter of Master Xu Zhu, but why did Li Jiang get involved in it?
Xu Zhu's face turned red even more, and he said to Li Jiang: "Second brother, why did you even tell the elder brother what happened in the ice cellar?"
Li Jiang was feeling annoyed, it was hard for an honest person to use his tricks! So he didn't bother to deal with Xu Zhu and smiled bitterly at Xiao Feng and said: "Brother, you are tall, you are really tall. This trick is fake and real, and I admire you!"
Xiao Feng said sternly: "Second brother, the eldest brother is not an unreasonable person. This is the best way to get the best of both worlds without compromising your honor and integrity and not harming the third brother."
Having said this, he grabbed the wine bowl again and said, "Come on, second brother, I wish you immediate success!"
"Gudong, Gudong" Li Jiang raised the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then he paused heavily on the table, looked around at everyone and said fiercely: "Everyone, just wait for the news of Pindao's victory. Pindao is going to go..."
Then he rolled out the window and disappeared into the dusk.
None of them expected that he would be so resolute, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
In fact, it was a very simple matter for Li Jiang to help Xu Zhu make an agreement. The soul-moving method was designed for this generation. He simply didn't want to cause trouble.
…
On the second day, everyone set off as usual. As soon as they arrived outside Xingqing Mansion, they saw countless people from all walks of life walking out of the city gate. Most of them were dejected, and a few were cursing.
"What is Xixia doing? Is he playing a trick on us?"
"Grandpa came all the way here just to marry his wife. Don't even think about driving him away if you don't want a son-in-law!"
"Haha, Brother Lang is really pretentious. I'm afraid your majestic appearance won't frighten Jinzhiyuye."
"What the hell do you know? What if the princess likes this kind of tall and thick guy with his nostrils pointing up to the sky?"
"Everyone, everyone, please say a few words. Haven't you noticed that the people from Xixia Yipin Hall are watching covetously from behind?"
"Hey, just them, they are not enough to fight against the Malaysian and pony brothers."
"Let's go and stop causing trouble. After all, this is our territory in Xixia."
…
Xu Zhu looked at Li Jiang excitedly and said in a trembling voice: "Two...two...second brother, is it really possible?"
Li Jiang curled his lips and said: "Didn't I tell you last night? When Princess Yinchuan heard that Meng Yan was looking for him, she was immediately overjoyed and offered to report to her father the cancellation of the recruitment of a son-in-law. How about it? Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I don't have to worry anymore.
Bar."
The gratitude in Xu Zhu's eyes almost burst out of his eyes, and he said affectionately: "The second brother loves me, but the younger brother really has nothing to repay!"
Li Jiang was very uncomfortable with this kind of ancient man's reply. He also knew that this "love" was not the other "love", but he couldn't help it because he felt a chill in his heart and had goosebumps on his body. He turned away from looking at him and replied: "
Third brother, you and I are brothers, don’t say whether we love each other or not, this is what second brother should do."
After finishing speaking, Xu Zhu didn't even wait for a reply, he galloped away and shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and try to reach your destination within ten days."
Xiao Kongba pouted, opened his sleepy eyes, and said to Wang Yuyan beside him: "Master, is the master calling for dinner?"
Wang Yuyan blushed every time she heard the word "Master", and this time was no exception. She blushed and opened the curtains of the carriage, looking around for Li Jiang. After a while, she turned back in disappointment and said, "I didn't see your master."
, but the team didn’t stop, so it’s probably not time for dinner.”
Kong Kong covered his mouth and yawned, and said confusedly: "Oh, the meal is not served, why is the master yelling? Master, I will sleep for a while, and call me again after dinner."
Wang Yuyan was not annoyed at all when her master arranged for him. She smiled slightly and said gently: "Don't fall asleep, be careful of catching a cold."
"Hmm, huh..."
…
Half a month later, the large group of people returned to the Vulture Palace.
Xu Zhu prepared a grand funeral for Ye Erniang. Xiao Feng and Li Jiang discussed it and finally decided that no matter what happened to Ye Erniang, as the biological mother of Ye Erniang, she has passed away. Death is the most important thing for two people.
The younger generation should kowtow and be respectful, but it is not necessary to be in mourning.
After the funeral, Xu Zhu announced that the entire Lingjiu Palace would remain in seclusion for one year and perform music and dance for two years. He would stay in seclusion next to the tomb for three years, and the affairs of the Lingjiu Palace would be handled by his eldest brother Xiao Feng.
What about Li Jiang, the second best friend?
Li Jiang did nothing but teach his two disciples Wang Yuyan and Luo Kongkong. In his free time, he walked around the Lingjiu Palace, looking here and there, and sometimes wandered to other hills to explore the ancient past.
He still refused to give up and wanted to find the traces left by the original owner of this palace.
Half a year later, he had accomplished nothing in his archaeological project, but the two apprentices had laid a solid foundation for their martial arts.
Wang Yuyan is smart and has a mind that is self-evident, so it didn't take Li Jiang much thought to learn her "Mingyu Magic Skill" and go straight to the third floor. Apart from that, Li Jiang didn't teach much about martial arts.
two.
One is the "Qiankun Dafa". This technique is the most perfect in martial arts in the world. If you learn it well, you will be able to travel all over the world without fear.
The second is "Lingbo Weibu". It is Li Jiang's philosophy to consider defeat before winning. There is an extraordinary light skill that makes the body stable.
The talent of a person in a small emptiness is limited to perseverance. He learns quickly when he is very hungry, but he becomes lazy when he is very full. Li Jiang's sticks flew together, and finally forced him to practice "Changchun Gong" to the first level.
Even if you only practice the first level of "Changchun Gong", it may seem weak, but it is actually quite different. "Changchun Gong" was improved by Li Jiang and Xiaoyao's three great magical arts. The first level alone contains the characteristics of the three great magical arts and can absorb energy.
Refining is invisible. If anyone underestimates this harmless little Toutuo, he may suffer a big loss.
Now that the two of them had laid a solid foundation and Li Jiang couldn't find anything, he said goodbye.
