Three days later.
A group of five people entered the city without covering up.
Word spread quickly.
Li Henian, who had long been considered certain to die, returned with a severe injury and broken arm, causing quite a sensation.
Especially the guest monks in the city were curious about what miracle he had encountered, how much he had gained, whether he had encountered a great opportunity, etc.
Wutong Lane, the gate of Zhongfu.
Li Henian patted Zhong Yan on the shoulder and said with a carefree smile: "Take care of some things first, and then have a good drink with my dear brother!"
"Brother, if you need anything, just ask."
Zhong Yan looked at the lonely figure who turned away, feeling hard to understand in his heart. It was much more sad and uncomfortable to be close to him than to just hear about his death outside.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was sure from his demeanor and words that Li Henian might not survive.
And this time, the other party sent a message to ask for help deliberately.
He knew very well about Li Henian's strength.
I originally thought that he was injured and unable to fight, but looking at the situation in Liuyun Valley, Li Henian was still able to break through to the later stage. Although he could not fight head-on, escaping was not a problem.
"Husband, Brother Li..." Jiang Ping whispered as the wives and concubines came out to welcome him.
Zhong Yan shook his head in silence, stepped into the house, gathered his mood, and went to Xia He's residence.
"He'er!"
Xia He was leaning on the bedside, being fed soup by the maid, and immediately wanted to get up, "Husband!"
"No need to get up!"
Zhong Yan took three steps and two steps to sit on the edge of the bed, grabbed his wrist and explored it, instilling vitality to help him recover, "Well done to you, He'er!"
Xia He smiled happily, "Thank you, husband! No need to waste more mana, He'er can take care of herself!"
Zhong Yan turned to the group of wives and concubines and smiled: "Where is the child? Xia He has made a great contribution this time, and she will have her own house in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, all the girls couldn't help but be stunned, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Private room?
Isn't it just that like Jiang Ping, she has the power and status of a eldest lady?
What an honor and grace!
"Husband, I am so virtuous and capable..." Xia He himself was startled for a moment, and quickly pulled Zhong Yan's hand, but he was extremely happy in his heart. As expected, his husband loved her the most.
Jiang Ping came to her senses and stepped forward with a smile: "Fourth sister has merit, she deserves it."
But I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. After thinking quickly, I felt that my husband was not satisfied with what he had done, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of having a child to delegate power to Xia He and manage the affairs of the house together.
The other concubines all agreed and expressed their congratulations.
Qiuxiang came forward with the baby in her arms, "Husband, look, he is a big fat boy. What should you name our fifth young master?"
Zhong Yan took it carefully and looked at the pink child smiling from ear to ear. This might be the one with spiritual roots, "Where is the other one?"
The girls were stunned: "..."
Xia He chuckled, "Just one, husband! But twins are not uncommon, there will definitely be them in the future, He'er... sisters will work hard!"
The girls suddenly realized that they had even talked about twins and twins with their husband, thinking that he expected two at a time.
"..." Zhong Yan was confused now. The system clearly indicated that there were two children, so why did it become one?
After suppressing the doubts in his heart, he said some caring words to Xia He and told him to take good care of himself, and Zhong Yan left the room.
"Don't hang around here to disturb He'er's rest."
"Ping'er, three swords!"
The three of them went to the study room.
Zhong Yan asked directly: "Ping'er, was there anything strange before Chunyu left? For example, she was pregnant!"
Last time, Chun Yu and Xia He gave birth on the same day.
And he, Chun Yu, and Xia He had had several threesomes together, so it was entirely possible to get pregnant at the same time again.
Only this situation can explain it.
The other child is from the missing Chunyu.
Jiang Ping was startled, her mind filled with doubts, "I haven't heard her mention it. I asked Xiaocui carefully about the disappearance before, and there was nothing unusual. Why did your husband ask like this?"
Zhong Yan pursed her lips and said, "I suspect she is pregnant."
Jiang Ping and Yan Sandao looked at each other, thought for a while and said, "But it's not impossible."
After a pause, she explained in detail: "Husband, you are busy practicing. Most of the time you have sex with me, Daoer and Xia He. There are many other sisters. Dongcao is actually the least busy because he is busy with business. But Chun Yu doesn't know what he is thinking. Again, I thought you were just ignoring her because of the jade pendant.
Therefore, it makes sense that she deliberately concealed her pregnancy. She wanted to have more opportunities to be close to you and tried to find a way to eliminate the estrangement in your heart as soon as possible..."
Zhong Yan frowned, it sounded reasonable, but it was also specious. Chunyu dared to hide such a big thing like pregnancy? Or is it that the pregnancy symptoms are not obvious and you don’t even notice it?
"When will Tang Xiaoshu come back?"
"We are already on our way back. If nothing happens, we will be able to enter the city in about seven or eight days."
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment, "Sandao, you go to the martial arts hall to pick a few capable disciples and ask them to guard Changli to see if they can wait until Chunyu appears."
"Yes, husband!"
It is impossible to find it, there is no way to find it.
For such a long time, it rained several times during this period, and any traces were washed away.
"I hope this one at home has spiritual roots..."
Spiritual heirs are too important to him. They are the first step in establishing a cultivating family and are also related to the subsequent changes in the system.
He watched his eldest son Zhong Qixing grow up day by day, learning to speak, learn to walk, and learn to read. Not long ago, he memorized a poem of more than 100 words in full.
However, the system did not give any response.
According to the current situation, we can only look forward to seeing whether the system panel will change after my son starts practicing martial arts in the future.
Go to the training room.
Zhong Yan took out three storage bags, and Li Henian threw them all to him.
Take a quick glance.
I couldn't help but mutter "poor guy".
There are only fifty-seven quick spirit stones in total, and there are not many elixirs, talismans, and materials.
There are only seven valuable instruments, three of which come from the seventh-level Qi Refiner.
A little tidying up.
Zhong Yan looked at the spiritual stones in his storage bag, pursed his lips and pondered.
There are 6,653 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, including more than 700 pieces of proceeds from Yang Yanqing's sales of magic weapons in the first half of the year.
Think about it.
He put five thousand into another storage bag, left the stone room, and handed it to Zhong Xiaozhong.
"Send it to Li Mansion."
If you can save it, save it; if you can't save it, you will die.
…
…
Changping Main Street.
When Mrs. Li Yang heard the maid's report that the master was back, her expression suddenly changed and she felt suddenly nervous.
After all this time, one bad news after another.
She had long believed that Li Henian had died and accepted the reality.
And after more than half a year of getting closer to Zhongfu, she almost regarded herself as a member of Zhongfu.
It must be said that the power of contrast is extremely powerful.
Zhong Yan has an extraordinary handsome appearance, and exudes the charming charm of a mature man. He is the type that makes women look at him more than once and is a nymphomaniac. He is certainly not comparable to Li Henian, who has a rough appearance and a fleshy face.
Moreover, Zhong Yan is also extremely kind to the women in his family, giving him unique respect and status.
Mrs. Li Yang saw this and often envied the good fortune of the wives and concubines of the Zhong Mansion.
Unlike Master Zi, whenever he makes a mistake, he will be beaten to death.
She, the head wife of a wealthy family, couldn't avoid it.
And he was extremely eccentric. Ever since Si Fang came in, Li Henian had almost exclusively doted on Si Fang. The other sisters rarely did favor him a few times a year.
Until now.
Li Yang's mentality is not just to seek shelter, but also to have feelings for Zhong Yan from the bottom of his heart.
There were even some nights when I couldn't bear the loneliness and used my hands to entertain myself. All that appeared in my mind was Zhong Yan's face, and he whispered "uncle" and "yong*" in his sleep.
This is undoubtedly a change of heart and betrayal!
There are even more naked things she and her sisters planned.
It was fine if he died, but now he is back!
If this is discovered, the result will be...
Mrs. Li Yang couldn't help but shuddered and walked quickly towards home.
Not long after.
When Mrs. Li Yang returned to her mansion, she saw a group of people gathered in the hall. They ran away and shouted in tears: "Master!"
"You are back!"
"Your arm..."
Tears rained down, and the love was sincere.
Li Henian, who had changed into neat clothes, sat up high, stopped questioning his eldest son, and said with an angry smile: "Okay, how can you cry and cry? I'm not dead yet!"
Li Shangwu stepped forward and helped his mother sit down.
Li Henian looked around, "Everyone is here except Shangwen..."
At this time.
The maid led Zhong Xiaozhong into the hall.
"Xiaozhong has met Master Li. This is my master who asked me to leave the little one to you."
Li Henian took the storage bag from the maid's hand, glanced at it with his consciousness, raised his eyebrows in fear, and then looked up at the roof with a look of reluctance and helplessness.
pity.
late.
With so many spirit stones, plus his own resources, if he came back early, he might be able to get some precious medicine to drive away the poison.
But now it is no longer useful, the poison has entered his heart, and it will be difficult for the gods to save him.
After exhaling, Li Henian pushed the storage bag in front of Zhong Xiaozhong, "Thank you sir for me. I won't need it for now. I'll get together with him another day!"
When they left, Li Henian scanned the faces and suddenly raised his hand to snap his fingers.
Tsk~
A sword light shot out, and a beautiful woman in a palace dress on the left side of the hall had a blood hole between her eyebrows. Her body fell limp and her fragrance disappeared.
Wow~
Everyone knelt down, not daring to express their anger.
Mrs. Li Yang was trembling in fear, not knowing what happened. That was the fourth house that the master loved most. Why was he killed so suddenly?
The idea just struck.
With another scoff, the concubine in the sixth room fell to the ground and turned into a dead body.
The group of people were all trembling, but they gritted their teeth and dared not make a sound.
Afraid that it would be her turn next, Li Yang didn't want to die in an unknown situation, so she raised her head and said, "Master..."
Li Shangwu also said at the same time: "Father! Why?"
"Ahem~" He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then spread out a pool of black blood in his palm. Li Henian was silent for a moment and said calmly: "These two are not keeping up with women and are having sex with servants. Damn it. It's none of your business. Get up." .”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Without thinking, they all knew that the master just made up a random excuse to kill people, and there must be other reasons.
"Shangwu, pick two male servants to kill."
"Liu'er, prepare a gift. I'll go to the city lord's mansion."
The next few days.
Li Henian frequently left the house, bringing heavy gifts to the homes of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Mansion, Bai Mansion and many other friends.
Walking on the street, he spit out a mouthful of black blood from time to time.
The news spread like wildfire - Li Henian was about to die soon and was in the process of handling his funeral arrangements.
The fifth day.
Li Henian got off the carriage in front of his home, spat out blood, and collapsed completely.
