Lincheng Huamo Chapter 124: Loyalty and Righteousness Difficult to Complete
In the early morning, a boy in ordinary clothes ran to Zhongxihou's house with a waxed letter. King Gui read the letter, gave the boy a few coppers to buy candies, and then dismissed the matter.
There is no other mark on this letter except the wax seal. The grimace on the wax seal is enough as a mark. Although King Gui cannot understand it, Marquis Zhongxi certainly cannot.
Zhong Xihou received the letter and found it interesting that the ghost lady could send him a letter.
After taking it apart and looking at it carefully, an interesting and somewhat weird smile appeared on his face. King Wei was a little puzzled and looked at Zhong Xihou in confusion. Zhong Xihou smiled again and then explained.
"The sword is not a sword, and the sword is not a sword. The sword is not a sword, and the sword is not a sword."
King Gui was a little puzzled, what does this mean?
"Gu Ye is quite curious. The person who knows the capabilities of the Ghost Wife is not a small person. The person who asked to build such a pair of weapons shouldn't be an unknown person."
That's what he said, but as for the content in the letter, the sword is not a sword, and the sword is not a sword. What kind of weapon is this? It has been built. Is such a pair of weapons easy to use?
The Ghost Lady would specifically inform someone of her request to build such a pair of weapons, and Zhong Xihou could only understand the meaning behind it. What a pity, what a pity, Zhong Xihou has always been a swordsman, and only good swords will tempt him.
Since Wuyu broke his sword and Xiaoyu brought Tingyu sword, Zhong Xihou has held the sword much less often. It's not that Tingyu is not a good sword, but Tingyu looks too much like Wuyu.
By coincidence, Hua Shaohong led the Wind Spirit King and Shen Tu, and Yu Lei came back from the outside. Hua Shaohong only had a bunch of candied haws in his hand, but the arms of the other three were full of a lot of strange things.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the two dolls Shen Tu and Yu Lei, Zhong Xihou felt a lot more at ease. Seeing that the silly big guy like Wind Spirit King was still carrying the bamboo tube on his back, he felt a little helpless.
If it weren't for his stupidity, the Wind Spirit King would really be able to stand alone and become famous all over the world. Giving him the Impermanence Sword would not detract from his predecessor's fame. But this stupid guy actually dislikes the praised spirit sword, and instead thinks that the thing in his bamboo tube is the best.
It's baby.
Zhong Xihou had no choice but to give the sword to King Gui and told her that if that fool Fuyunzi came to Jinling City one day, he would give the sword to him.
When I give my treasure to outsiders, no one objects.
Going to the Qinhuai River tonight, Zhong Xihou's eyelids kept twitching. This also made him a little uneasy. He always felt that Zhu Jiannan was not that simple.
If it is just to scare Zhu Yinuo and make him return to the so-called right path, he, Zhong Xihou, can indeed help. But is it really that simple? No matter how you say it, it doesn't feel like the character of His Royal Highness.
Zang Yan came from outside, followed by someone. Seeing this person, Zhong Xihou was surprised.
The visitor is his junior brother Ying Ruge, but the strange thing is that this junior brother is special today. He has no visor to cover his face, and he doesn't have any weird skin on him. He just came with his true face today, and he just let him go like this.
This face is exposed to the sun.
Ying Ruge wore a dark scribe's robe with some white edges, her hair was neatly combed, and she wore a lotus crown. She looked like a troublemaker and a noble son of a wealthy family.
Zhong Xihou then smiled. Seeing Ying Ruge's true face revealed, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart for some reason. But what he was wondering was, how did this young junior brother enter Jinling City? The soldiers guarding the city should also recognize this face. Is it possible?
Wouldn't it be possible for him to swagger into the city like this?
So, does Zhu Jiannan already know?
"Junior brother, we've seen each other for a long time. Are you here to send wedding invitations?"
Ying Ruge laughed and actually bowed in salute. The more Zhong Xihou looked at it, the more he felt that the young junior brother looked so much like the young master of the Mo family. The aura he revealed was not at all like what an immortal ghost should have.
"Master Marquis has misunderstood. I came here today to say goodbye."
As soon as Zhong Xihou opened his eyes, the three scars on his right face were slightly ferocious. Then the dark-faced man also smiled happily, and he looked at Zang Yan again. Mei Ji's expression had recovered a lot. She was calm and carefree.
.
The black-faced man suddenly said something that made everyone present stunned.
"Junior brother, if you don't want to send you a wedding invitation on your wedding day, I won't complain as a brother. But if I send you a wedding invitation in the future, and you don't come in person, I will catch you and give you a beating."
"Wedding invitation?"
King Gui was really surprised by these two words. What did the Marquis mean by these words?
Zhongxihou turned sideways and looked at King Gui again, and asked: "Does our land in the west have regulations?
Can a city chief of a generation not step down until his death?"
King Gui shook his head, and when he was about to speak, he was overtaken by his own city lord.
"In this case, when the big thing is done, I will go back to the West and let the wise man go. I will be the first general in the West and marry my general's wife."
When he said the second half of the sentence, Zhong Xihou looked at Zang Yan, their eyes met, and Zang Yan couldn't help but have a red cloud on her cheeks. But Zang Yan suddenly thought of something, and she couldn't help but secretly clenched her fists. This person is Zhong Xihou, and he is from Xidi
Lord, how many beauties are there in the harem? Does he say that the wedding invitation is about himself? Or is he just one of the beauties?
In this world, it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but she was a womanizer after all, so why didn't she want her man to be just her?
Ying Ruge nodded and replied: "Okay, Lord Marquis, maybe we can have a drink together tonight? I'll pay the bill."
Marquis Zhong Xi couldn't help but be happy when he heard Ying Ruge paying the bill. This junior brother had tricked him a lot. He drank from his own food, ate a lot from his own food, and even paid for the damage to tables, chairs and benches. What he said to his junior junior brother: "
I have no money." Zhong Xihou still remembered it, and suddenly asked him to invite himself to drink, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Okay, then tonight, Qinhuai River."
"good."
After saying this kind word, Ying Ruge didn't stop and left on his own. He still walked away calmly, without using the ability of the phantom beast to fly into the sky.
There was once a young man who wanted to wield a sword and let the world know the power of the sword master. But when everything was gained and everything was over, he wanted to return to the peace of the past. Being able to move and be still is really a good thing.
Zhong Xihou originally wanted to call Ying Ruge and ask him if he, the Lord of the West, would be the adoptive father if he had a baby. When naming the baby, he could also use the ink in his belly to help him come up with a good name.
But after Ying Ruge left, Zhong Xihou still kept his words in his stomach.
This junior brother may still refuse.
In another part of Jinling City, in an ordinary tavern, a handsome man in gorgeous Tsing Yi and wearing wooden clogs was drinking alone at a table in the tavern. Jinling City was already lively at this point, but it was not lively enough.
There are very few people who come to drink at this time, but those who do come, they are all big drinkers.
His back was against the wall, his buttocks were sitting on this end of the bench, and his right clog was on the other end of the bench. His left foot was swaying back and forth, and when the clog hit the spot, it made a "clang" sound.
There was a plate of beef with sauce, a plate of fried vegetables, and a large plate of ten vermicelli oysters on the table. The wine in my hand was not expensive, but it was not cheap either. But it cost three hundred coppers a pot just like this.
The wine was swayed by him and a lot of it spilled on the floor tiles.
The young bartender in the tavern was also puzzled. Of course he knew this young man, but even if he said he knew him, he didn't know him. This young man would come by chance, and it was always early in the morning when he came. But who was this young man's name?
I don't know. But this doesn't suit him. Every time the young master leaves, he will leave him a hundred copper coins as a reward. For him, this is the most enjoyable thing.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves and the neighing of horses, soon, a noble man in white clothes embroidered with gold and wearing a purple gold crown came in. He threw the whip to the bartender and walked directly towards the handsome man in blue.
The noble man in white looked around the tavern, with a hint of disdain on his face.
He sat opposite the handsome young man in green clothes and straightened a glass, but there was no wine on the table, which made him a little puzzled.
The handsome young man in green chuckled and placed the wine bottle in his hand on the table. The noble young man in white was disgusted and asked the bartender to bring two jars of the best red wine in the shop.
The noble man in white didn't use the bowl. He opened the mud seal, took two big sips from the jar, wiped the corners of his mouth, and smashed it until he was satisfied. Then he didn't use chopsticks, picked up an oyster with his hands, and started tasting the delicious food.
"You kid, didn't you see that your eldest brother is feeling depressed right now? He is heartless, or is he not a brother?"
The noble man in white glanced at the other party, snorted coldly, and then said: "Whenever I really become the King of Jinling, the first thing I will do is to send you to the countryside and mountains to see how you can still show off in front of me."
The handsome young man in green clothes immediately sat upright, and the clogs made a loud sound when he stepped on the ground, which also made the noble young man in white clothes frown.
"Are you really willing to give it up? You have become a king and sent a general like me, who will surely go down in history, to be sent to the border areas. I feel dizzy."
If people in the Forbidden City saw this scene, they would secretly report it to the stewards, saying that the young man from the Li family was treasonous to the young prince and had no etiquette for a monarch or his ministers.
But Zhu Yinuo, the noble man in white, and Li Yunhong, the handsome man in green, don't mind at all.
They have been hanging out together since they were young and wearing crotchless pants. Things like stealing money from one's own, things like robbing courtesans in the Qinhuai River, etc., are as absurd as you want.
"It's nonsense, let's talk about something."
When Zhu Yinuo said this, his hands kept moving, still grabbing the beef and vegetables. This made his hands full of oil and his mouth was sloppy.
"A promise, if, I mean if..."
Li Yunhong forgot something. He had gone on a trip to experience, but Zhu Yinuo also traveled around the city. In terms of character, he had been tempered. Although he was still a playboy, he was not stupid. His heart was exquisite, and there were too many things that he didn't want to go to.
Guess, don’t want to think about it.
"What's up?"
Zhu Yinuo stopped, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and wiped his hands on his pants. When the bartender saw this scene from a distance, he couldn't help but feel worried. Such fine clothes were ruined like this. He is worthy of being a kid from a rich family.
,Envy.
"Okay, I'm going to kill my elder brother."
When these words came out, Zhu Yinuo stood up directly and slapped the table with his hand. The sound made the bartender's heart tremble and woke up the shopkeeper from his nap. When the shopkeeper saw the two rich young men in the corner, he could only
I was able to swallow all my complaints.
"My little brother asked you to do it?"
Li Yunhong suddenly grinned and nodded while laughing. But gradually, his smiling face became uglier than his crying face.
"No, I want to find my little brother!"
When Zhu Yinuo was about to leave, Li Yunhong stood up, grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back to the bench. He was still smiling, and it was still an ugly smile.
"The crime of unjust killing a brother is a great crime, and the crime of being unfaithful to a minister is beyond heaven. My Li family has been loyal to the King of Jinling for generations. My eldest brother has betrayed this way. Your Highness did not blame me for implicating my Li family, which is a great kindness."
Zhu Yinuo slapped the table angrily again and said: "This mess is all bullshit! Who is Brother Dahong? How could he do such treacherous things? I don't even believe it. You are his brother, but you believe it!"
Li Yunhong started to laugh again, this time the smile was a little better, and he asked: "Then I promise, don't you believe His Royal Highness?"
Zhu Yinuo was stunned. He didn't know how to refute. Was Brother Dahong wronged, or was his younger brother ruthless?
"I want to do something and talk to you. Maybe after today, we will never have the chance to meet again, but before I leave, I always feel that I have to see you, this little crybaby, again."
The words were sarcastic, but Zhu Yinuo was not angry.
Born in an emperor's family, it was difficult to have playmates and friends. Apart from Mo Ming, he only had two friends, the second and third eldest children of the Li family. When he was young, he didn't know what to do and even fought. When he grew up, he learned etiquette and understood the differences between kings and ministers.
We started to become distant. But gradually, we understood each other's intentions and became unrestrained.
"My eldest brother is very capable. He is as tall as several floors. He is such a bad person. He has never revealed such a high ability."
Zhu Yinuo took another sip of wine while holding the jar, and then said: "What about you? If I ask you to kill your elder brother, then your ability is as high as several floors, isn't it? We grew up together and hung out together.
You're just fooling around, but I never knew you were capable of being sent to recover Brother Dahong."
Li Yunhong shook his head and said: "It's not about recovering, it's about chasing and killing. From generation to generation in my Li family, the King of Jinling has always followed his lead. The children of the Li family are engaged in politics and assisting the clan in martial arts. I told you a long time ago, carrying on the instructions of my ancestors,
I am a master, a great master. But Yinuo, you always think I am just joking."
Zhu Yinuo recalled the past, and found out that this kid had repeatedly ridiculed that he was not suitable for martial arts, and had also boasted that he was a master among masters. In the future, he would become a king, and he would protect him without any worries.
But the other party hangs out with me all the time, so how can he have time to practice? I saw him get into drunken fights, and was beaten until his face was bruised and swollen. He is not like a master among masters at all. If you call him someone else, you won't believe him.
"Yi Nuo, there is one more thing. If I come back one day, between us, the king is the king and the minister is the minister. You, Zhu Yinuo, don't have a brother named Li Yunhong, and I, Li Yunhong, am not so lucky to be able to call the King of Jinling a brother.
.”
Zhu Yinuo frowned. He really didn't understand. If he wanted to ask, Li Yunhong would be the first to speak.
"I know you will be confused and puzzled. But I promise, if we are just children of ordinary people, farming every day, or doing business at home, taking the time to drink wine and save some money to buy a horse,
Find a good sword and become a ranger. No matter how rich or noble you are, we are all brothers. But Yinuo, you are the future King of Jinling, and I am a descendant of the Li family's assistant clan. We are brothers when we are young, and we should not act like this again when we become adults."
Zhu Yinuo became angry and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Li Yunhong, you, you, you bastard!"
