A faint fragrance floated in front of him, Li Longqian took a deep breath, and then looked up at the woman in green dress in front of him.
"My butt is pretty good, and I'm good at giving birth to a son."
Li Longqian commented secretly in his heart, and the expression on his face was slightly relieved. After all, the girl who could stand up to help him at this time must have a good heart.
Ling Shiqing was not in the mood to talk to Li Longqian at this time. She spread her arms slightly, looked at the evil slave at the front, stared at the pair of autumn-like eyes and shouted sternly: "This man is the husband I have chosen today.
, how can you beat me just by asking?"
"Husband?" Li Longqian was stunned for a moment after hearing this word, and then whispered to Ling Shiqing: "I am not your husband."
"Shut up." Ling Shiqing turned around and scolded her, pretending to be serious.
When people watching the excitement in the street saw Ling Shiqing appearing in front of Li Longqian, they couldn't help but sigh that this boy was really lucky to have the city lord's daughter protect him like this, and so did He Ziang who was not far away.
His face was ashen. He never imagined that Ling Shiqing, whom he had been chasing for many years, would actually help a poor boy whose name he didn't know. What kind of blessing did this boy have to be so protected by the goddess in his heart?
"Miss Ling, what are you doing?" the evil slave in the lead asked with a somewhat embarrassed frown on his face after he stopped.
"What do you want to do? Don't you know he is my husband? Are you able to bully me just because you want to?" Ling Shiqing asked loudly.
"No, we are also acting under orders. Miss Ling, can you please not embarrass me?" the evil slave discussed in a low voice.
"If you want to hit him today, then hit me first..."
Before Ling Shiqing finished speaking, a big hand grabbed her shoulder and directly pulled Ling Shiqing behind her.
"What are you doing?" Ling Shiqing rubbed her shoulders and shouted at Li Longqian with a slightly angry expression.
"When will it be a woman's turn to stand up for me about men's matters?" Li Longqian's tone and expression were slightly impatient.
"Why are you so ignorant of good people's hearts?" Ling Shiqing stamped her little feet and asked Li Longqian.
"Stand aside." Li Longqian's voice was decisive.
"you……"
Ling Shiqing looked at the young man in front of her, and instantly felt as if she was blind. It was simply unreasonable. She was kind enough to save him, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
"We don't know martial arts, but he does, so let's just stand on the same side."
The nerd pulled Ling Shiqing and said with a smile.
"roll."
Ling Shiqing cursed impatiently, scolding the little nerd so much that she didn't dare to speak.
"If you need anything, come quickly. It will get dark soon and I won't feel comfortable." Li Longqian held a wooden sword in his hand, looked up at the sun in the sky, and shouted to the group of evil slaves with a smile.
"act recklessly."
The evil slave who took the lead gritted his teeth and shouted, then rushed towards Li Longqian again. He thought he could finally deal with this kid this time, but after running for two steps, the evil slave stopped because an exterior car was in the distance.
The luxurious sedan slowly appeared in people's eyes. After a moment, the servant beside the sedan shouted: "The Lord of the City is here!"
After hearing this, everyone on the street immediately knelt down on the ground. He Ziang was silent for a moment, and then he knelt down on the ground reluctantly. Everyone on the street except Ling Shiqing and Li Longqian knelt on the ground.
, Li Longqian looked back at the sedan, and saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes slowly walking out of the sedan. The middle-aged man's face was very resolute, giving people a feeling of calmness and authority.
"Daddy."
When Ling Shiqing saw the middle-aged man, she quickly ran to his side and grabbed the middle-aged man's arm.
"See the Lord of the City!"
Everyone kneeling on the ground shouted in unison.
"Everyone, get up."
The middle-aged man replied softly, then looked at Ling Shiqing next to him and asked: "What happened? How come the peaceful hydrangea wedding ceremony turned into a martial arts competition?"
"Dad, you don't know that someone wants to bully your future son-in-law..." Ling Shiqing held Ling Yuanzhou's arm and shouted softly, looking pitiful and charming.
He Ziang on the side couldn't help but look a little ugly when he heard this. He was obviously talking about himself.
"Who is so bold as to bully my son-in-law?" Ling Yuanzhou roared with eyes wide open, completely different from his usual gentle image.
"That's him!"
Ling Shiqing stretched out her hand and pointed at He Ziang beside her.
"Nephew He Xian?"
Ling Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at He Ziang and asked with a smile: "Nephew He Xian is a loyal man, how could he do such a thing? Is there any misunderstanding here?"
He Ziang looked at Ling Yuanzhou in front of him and cursed in his heart: "The father and daughter are obviously singing harmony here." But no matter what, Ling Yuanzhou is the lord of the city. Although his father has higher martial arts, he is only a small leader, so he definitely can't
Is it wrong to go against someone else's lord of a city, so even if He Zi'ang is usually confused at this time, he still knows how to give in. After a moment, He Zi'ang said with a smile: "Lord Ling, there is indeed some misunderstanding here."
"Is the misunderstanding resolved now? If I don't help you sort it out," Ling Yuanzhou asked with a smile.
"Dismissed, dismissed." He Ziang agreed quickly, and then winked at the evil slave next to Li Longqian. Seeing that his master had given the order, the evil slave did not dare to neglect and quickly withdrew from Li Longqian's side.
Go down.
"Nephew He Xian, please remember to take care of me like your father." Ling Yuanzhou patted He Ziang on the shoulder and said with a kind expression.
"My nephew, remember this."
"Yeah." Ling Yuanzhou nodded slightly and then pointed at Li Longqian and the bookworm and asked Ling Shiqing: "Which one of these two is my son-in-law?"
"The one with the sword."
At this time, Ling Shiqing completely lost the chivalrous demeanor she had just now, her voice was like fine lines, her face was slightly red, and she replied to Ling Yuanzhou with a twitching body. Ling Yuanzhou smiled happily when he saw his daughter looking like this, feeling in his heart that his daughter seemed to be right for him.
I am still very satisfied with the destined person arranged by this Yue Lao.
After a while, Ling Yuanzhou slowly walked up to Li Longqian, looked at Li Longqian and asked: "Young man, others kneel down when they see me, why don't you kneel down?"
"Why are you kneeling?" Li Longqian clenched his fist slightly and then asked seriously.
"Haha." Ling Yuanzhou laughed loudly and then looked at Li Longqian and said: "When we in Daliang meet the city lord and officials above the city lord, the people should kneel down and worship. You don't know this rule, right?"
"I know." Li Longqian nodded slightly.
"You know why you still don't kneel down?" At this time, Ling Yuanzhou's tone was no longer as relaxed as before, with a hint of anger. Although the young man in front of him was his future son-in-law, if he met a bastard, he would rather not marry him.
, and cannot wrong his own daughter.
"First of all, although I know that there is such a rule in our Daliang law, I feel that there are inevitably some flaws in this law, so I will not kneel down."
When he heard the word "fault", the little nerd's eyes instantly lit up.
"Then I want to hear what the flaw is." Ling Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, looking at the young man in front of him, as if he was not just talking nonsense, and suddenly felt that this young man seemed to be interesting.
"According to Article 7 of Chapter 9 of the Daliang Code, anyone who meets the city lord or officials above the city lord should kneel down and bow down to show respect." Li Longqian recited this law word for word, and then looked at
Ling Yuanzhou asked: "City Lord Ling, is there anything I said wrong?"
"Exactly word for word."
"Then I would like to ask, does the city lord and officials above the city lord mentioned in this law refer to the city lord of this city or the city lord of an outer city? If it only refers to the city lord of this city, then I am not from Le'an City and I will not kneel down.
It does not violate the Daliang regulations, but if it refers to the outer city and the city lord of this city, then according to the second article of Chapter 13 of the Daliang regulations, envoys from one country visiting other countries can only bow to each other to show the majesty of Daliang.
However, envoys from our country cannot perform the ritual of kneeling when visiting other countries, so as not to bear the infamy of treason and humiliation. So, as a person from an outer city, if I kneel down to a city lord when I see one, am I also considered a traitor in this city?
? Regardless of whether they are counted or not, these two laws are originally from the Etiquette Chapter. So these two laws may be flawless when viewed alone, but if they are put together, don't they feel like they are parallel and contradictory?"
After Li Longqian finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet. Although Li Longqian's words were more complicated, people on the street understood them clearly, because according to what Li Longqian said, there was indeed something wrong with these two laws.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it a flaw.
Ling Yuanzhou looked at the young man in front of him and finally changed his eyes. He originally thought that Li Longqian was just a country boy on his way, but after saying these words, Ling Yuanzhou knew that there was a young man who could recite the laws of Liang by heart, even if he was not an official.
He came from a scholarly family, but no matter how he looked, Ling Yuanzhou could not tell that the young man in front of him had any scholarly aroma in him, and he was full of ruffian spirit.
"Yes! This brother is right!" The nerd, who was a little slower than the others, suddenly realized after thinking for a moment, patted his thigh and shouted.
"Haha." Ling Yuanzhou laughed loudly. Although he felt that Li Longqian's words were obviously taken out of context, he still couldn't find any words to refute, so he had to smile helplessly, then looked at Li Longqian and said: "
It seems that my daughter has found a good son-in-law for me who knows the laws by heart."
Li Longqian looked at Ling Yuanzhou and didn't say anything, so he didn't continue to ask more questions, because he knew that even Old Man Jiang, who had been studying for most of his life, couldn't explain this question, and he, the city lord who didn't know how he came here, definitely couldn't answer it either.
, now Li Longqian only has one thought in his mind, which is to get out of here quickly, because he knows that if he continues to stand like this, the mouthful of sweet blood in his throat may not be able to help spitting out.
