Sitting in the main hall, Zhuo Mufeng listened to Ding Long's gossip, always with an unhurried smile on his face, chatting with him all over the world, and chatting a lot, which was his specialty.
After a long while, perhaps feeling that the time was almost up, Ding Long cleared his throat, took a sip of tea and said, "I have heard that young hero Zhuo is eager for justice and has a loyal heart. Ding has admired him for a long time.
To be honest, Ding encountered a disaster recently, which was related to the survival of the Ding family. If Zhuo Shaoxia could act righteously, Ding would be extremely grateful. From now on, whenever Zhuo Shaoxia gives orders, Ding will never refuse.
"
After saying that, he stood up and bowed solemnly towards Zhuo Mufeng.
Seeing her father like this, Ding Fu couldn't sit still, but there was a tangled look on her face. Probably because of her previous disgust, she now changed her attitude and seemed too embarrassed.
"Uncle Ding, you don't have to be like this. I wonder what happened to you?"
Zhuo Mufeng quickly stopped the other party, neither saying yes nor saying no.
Ding Long said with a sad look on his face: "Young Master Zhuo doesn't know something. Just a few days ago, Ding's only son was kidnapped by twelve thieves outside Shu City. They threatened to ask Ding to give him five hundred taels in exchange for his son.
Ding raised money everywhere these days and finally got the amount together. However, as the twelve thieves are rogues, I am afraid that they will not keep their promises, so I would like to ask Zhuo Shaoxia to accompany Ding to Yingzui Cliff outside the city in three days.
, to hold court for Ding."
Zhuo Mufeng wanted to say that you should go to the government for this kind of thing.
Ding Long immediately explained that the Twelve Thieves had considerable power in Shu City, and it was said that they were also being protected by the government. If he reported to the government behind their backs, they would most likely rip him off once the information was leaked.
"This matter involves my only son. I really don't dare to be careless. Please forgive me, Young Master Zhuo."
Ding Long bowed again.
At this point, Zhuo Mufeng finally understood why the other party was so enthusiastic.
He had always disliked trouble, but after all, he had received help from the other party and could not help but express it.
I just don't know what the strength of the twelve thieves is. It's hard for Zhuo Mufeng to ask directly, otherwise it will give people the impression of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, which will damage his image as a true gentleman.
While he was hesitating, someone suddenly announced that the chief steward of Ding Mansion was back and had brought several helpers with him.
I saw several people filing into the main hall.
The middle-aged man wearing a square hat at the head looked happy. He first greeted Ding Long and then introduced both parties.
There is a man with a purple face, a short and strong man with a very stable base, and a middle-aged woman in black. Their names are quite intimidating, but when asked, they are all true sixth-level warriors.
.
This kind of strength is not low in the world, so Ding Long naturally expressed his welcome and thanks, and immediately asked people to serve him tea.
When it came to the last young man who was wearing white clothes and holding a folding fan, who looked very cool, the housekeeper of Ding Mansion's voice became a little louder and said loudly: "Sir, this is Young Hero Luo Xi Feng Luo."
Ding Long frowned, feeling that the name was a bit familiar.
Behind him, Ding Fu screamed in a low voice, covered her mouth with her hands, and asked in surprise: "Could it be Mr. Charming, Luo Xifeng?"
The young man in white was full of character. He shook his fan and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it. It's just a favor from friends in the world."
It really is.
Now let alone Ding Long and his daughter who were in excitement, even Zhuo Mufeng felt a little pity.
He has read several issues of "On the Rivers and Lakes", so he has some understanding of this charming young man. Although this man is not a handsome man on the most handsome list, he is still one of the best young men on the handsome list.
It is said that he is only 18 years old and has already reached the ninth level of cultivation. He has risen to prominence with his back-breaking fan technique. He has killed evil disciples at the tenth level. In addition, he rides a tall white horse all the year round, so he is nicknamed Mr. White Horse.
"Come here, please serve me the best Longjing. No, give me Jin Junmei!"
Ding Long shouted and ignored Zhuo Mufeng. The other three people were also ignored. He only had Luo Xifeng in his eyes. He personally stepped forward to greet him and warmly welcomed him to the left position closest to the main seat.
Ding Fu's face was also pink, and she would peek at Luo Xifeng from time to time. If she found the other person looking over, she would immediately lower her head shyly.
Several female escorts also had expressions on their faces as if they were fans meeting their idols.
Luo Xifeng is extraordinarily handsome, but to be honest, he is still inferior to Zhuo Mufeng in terms of looks alone, but who knows that he is more famous and stronger?
Ding Long said happily: "Of the twelve thieves, the strongest in martial arts is only the tenth level of cultivation. I believe that with Luo Shaoxia in charge and the men and horses of the Ding family, they will never dare to mess around."
Luo Xifeng smiled: "I met the housekeeper of your house by chance this time. I heard about the affairs of your house and decided to help. Master Ding, you don't have to be polite."
Ding Long waved his hand: "Whatever you want, come and prepare a sumptuous table of wine and food for me. I want to entertain Luo Shaoxia and everyone present."
Luo Xifeng coughed: "If it's convenient for the Ding family, let someone wash my hurricane's body. It's a little dirty from the dust all the way."
It took Ding Long a long time to realize that Hurricane was the white horse. Without saying a word, he immediately asked someone to wash the horse's fur.
Zhuo Mufeng was happy to be ignored. Anyway, he should eat and drink, and there was no ambiguity at all.
After everyone had had enough wine and food, it seemed that Mr. Charming was invited over by Ding Long again and started a small stove alone. Zhuo Mufeng didn't care and went into the guest room arranged for him to rest.
Later in the night.
The silence was suddenly broken, shouts rang out from the front yard, and there were faint sounds of fierce fighting.
Zhuo Mufeng was awakened and immediately pushed the door open, but did not show up immediately. Instead, he jumped down and crawled on the roof to observe the scene in the front yard, so that he could retreat in time if something went wrong.
There was chaos in the field, and both sides split into two factions.
One faction was headed by Ding Long and Luo Xifeng, and the other faction was composed of more than a dozen big men holding sabers, all of whom were well-trained. During the slashing, some warriors from the Ding family were injured.
Even Ding Long was injured and his arm was bleeding continuously.
The other three warriors invited during the day, including the woman in black, actually attacked everyone in the Ding family, and their strength clearly exceeded the scope of the true sixth level.
"Twelve thieves, what do you mean?"
Before the night attack, many of Ding's masters had been seriously injured by the woman in black and lost their combat effectiveness.
Although Luo Xifeng's martial arts skills were high, he was clearly unable to defeat five thieves with one man. Ding Long was frightened and anxious, and shouted loudly.
"What do you mean? We think that five hundred taels of silver is too little, so we plan to move your Ding family away. If you are willing, leave immediately."
The woman in black smiled proudly.
"Third sister, there is no need to talk nonsense with them, these people will die tonight."
Another big man with a pockmarked face said ferociously.
It turns out that the woman in black is also one of the Twelve Thieves, and everyone has been deceived by them. It's ridiculous that she was infiltrated by the enemy, and she is still complacent.
Ding Long was so angry that he vomited blood. While distracted, he was kicked out by another thief.
Ding Fu and several female guards were also in danger. They were surrounded from all sides and could only resist. Thinking of the next situation, their faces were full of despair.
Whoosh!
Luo Xifeng waved a fan shadow to repel her opponent, and immediately broke out.
"Master Luo, please save my little girl's life!"
Ding Long begged with all his strength.
"Master Ding, I remember that Hurricane hasn't had his dinner yet. Please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
As soon as the voice fell, Luo Xifeng jumped up and down, and the person disappeared without a trace.
"That bullshit young hero turns out to be someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I'm blind!"
The injured housekeeper of the Ding Mansion looked up to the sky and howled in grief, filled with shame and anger.
