"drive!"
"drive!"
The horse galloped from the west, crashed into the small county of Xiongshan in the dawn light, knocked on the locked door of the Li family, and sent out the marriage information from the Cao family.
In addition to being afraid of the power of the flower-picking bandits, the Li family has also been puzzled for the past two days.
They themselves also wondered why, except for the death of the county captain, the death of the martial arts master, and the death of the martial arts master in the Li family at the beginning, no one died after that.
Even this time, even though so many people died, the Li family was still unscathed.
Not only is he unscathed, it seems... he will also be the biggest beneficiary.
Why?
Mrs. Tian’s wife ran away!
The rest of the Tian family also dispersed.
The Li family purchased the Tian family's properties at an unimaginably low price. Now they have acquired two properties, and in two days they may even acquire the Chamber of Commerce.
From now on, it is clear that the Li family dominates Xiongshan County, like a local emperor.
No matter how you look at it, the Li family took advantage.
However, Mr. Li and the eldest lady were both puzzled.
Why did the Li family take advantage of this?
This puzzle has not been resolved yet.
New doubts came to my face again.
The Cao family wants to get married, and the magistrate is willing to marry his daughter to become an equal wife.
this...
This is also a huge benefit.
The Li family has eaten the entire Xiongshan County, so they will definitely feel uneasy, but if they get close to their parents at the prefectural level, isn't it like they have found wings to protect them?
As for the marriage partner Cao Yi, Mr. Li and Madam Li had already heard from Li Zhili that she was not the kind of ugly and fat woman who couldn't marry, but a young, beautiful and talented young lady.
Oh my god.
Is there anything better than this?
Mr. Li smiled from ear to ear. Even if his son went away to study, he couldn't refuse such a good thing.
He immediately held a luxurious banquet to entertain the Cao family envoys.
At the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After that, Master Li presented another gift and promised to get engaged as soon as possible when his son came back.
The eldest lady quietly glanced outside the door. There was no one outside, but she always felt that Miss Tian would hear...
So, after the guest left, she pinched the master's ear and said, "Don't be so proud. I'll go talk to Tian Yuan."
Only then did Mr. Li react and nodded frequently.
These days, they all can see what kind of person Tian Yuan is. This is obviously a good wife and mother, and they don't want this daughter-in-law to be alienated from them because of this incident.
...
...
One month later.
Yanziwu.
Peach Blossom Waterside Pavilion.
The white-haired old man was standing in front of a large iron pot.
Under the iron pot is firewood that has just been extinguished. On top is some iron sand covered in red juice. It is steaming and has a choking smell.
Swish, brush, brush!
The old man quickly stir-fried the iron sand with his hands. Every time he stir-fried, the hot iron sand and the juice penetrated his pores like flames.
However, his hands were never red or swollen.
If you look closely, you can see that its surface is covered with a thin film of herbs.
brush!
brush!
The old man inserted the iron sand carefully.
In sharp contrast to his seriousness, there were screams and calls to kill in the distance.
However, the old man seemed to be so engrossed that he continued to practice without hearing any of the noise.
After a long time, he seemed to hear footsteps coming from the road behind him, and then the old man raised his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.
This old man is Li Xuan.
After annihilating Su Zangyuan, he got his wish and harvested the two master skills hidden by Su Zangyuan, namely "Fire Cloud Hand" and "Tiger Flute Sword".
The former found the fundamental map on the corpse, while the book and the latter were found in the Cao family's secret room, so they all belong to him.
Li Xuan was extremely curious as to why Su Zangyuan could still stay awake after practicing two secret martial arts, so he also started practicing two secret martial arts, and also practiced the "Eternal Green Kung Fu" at the same time.
Unfortunately, the practice of "Eternal Green Kung Fu" is progressing slowly, and it is only a small success at this time;
On the contrary, "Fire Cloud Hand" and "Tiger Flute Sword" are progressing well.
Especially "Tiger Flute and Sword" is basically a thousand miles away and is almost complete.
After all, this kind of "agility-oriented" technique, to him, is like "college students go back and do elementary school problems." It is very simple, but it will not improve it, let alone increase additional attributes.
There are three thresholds for becoming a secret martial artist.
The first step is the master technique and fundamental diagram.
The second path is the root bone. Without the root bone, it cannot be practiced.
The third path is demon blood, and if you want to obtain demon blood, you have to obtain it from demons. This is a completely impossible task for ordinary warriors.
For Li Xuan, these three thresholds are not a problem for the time being.
He wants to develop in an all-round way and practice all the strength, physique, and agility techniques.
As for the spiritual ones...he hasn't seen them yet.
Many thoughts flashed away, but three figures were seen coming from a distance. They paused outside the pavilion, and at the same time clasped their fists and bowed in respect.
"Yao Chou pays homage to Mr. Su."
"Zuo Hong pays homage to Mr. Su."
And the last voice was...
"Lin...Jianfeng pays homage...to Mr. Su."
Stuttering and a little silly.
Li Xuan turned around and saw the man who had participated in the college examination with him at a glance.
However, compared with his former sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his bold and cheerful appearance, now this man's eyes are dull.
Yao Qiu stepped forward and explained: "Mr. Hao Ming knows that my husband had a premonition after Lin Jie Niu's death, so he took the initiative to pretend to be crazy and fooled even me.
Even so...my husband still never escaped from the murderous hands of the thief.
It's just that the thief was probably worried that he would be completely poisoned to death, so when he saw his madness, he gradually reduced the dose, allowing him to escape.
This time, I originally wanted to use my status as the eldest son of my husband to do something. After all, many old people in the gang have always only recognized their legitimate sons to succeed to the throne. But when I was about to do it, my husband grabbed me and said that he... could act together. "
After that, Yao Chou reported everything that happened in these days.
It's a complex drama, full of all kinds of melee and intrigue among a gang.
Conspiracy and betrayal, killing and blood are intertwined, until the end...the one who comes to Li Xuan is the final winner.
Of course, there is one winner that goes without saying.
This is Li Xuan.
You don't have to take action to fight for things. Yao Xiaoxiao's hatred, Lin Jianfeng's forbearance, Zuo Hong's tact, and his push... are enough to subvert everything.
...
...
A few more days passed.
Caobang's two master techniques were originally sent to Li Xuan.
In addition, another old item was unearthed, which was Lin Jie Niu's diary.
Yao Chou discovered the diary, but she did not choose to hide it. Instead, she gave all the important things to Mr. Su to read first, and then let him go.
Li Xuan flipped through the diary.
The diary is quite thick, and it contains many young people’s admiration for their brother and secret love for their sister-in-law. However, this complicated emotion turned into unspeakable guilt, so he suppressed these thoughts and focused all his attention on cultivation. On the master's technique.
He is a prodigy in the world. Others can't practice "Lovesick Soul-Seizing Hook", but he can do it.
He vowed to protect his brother and his sister-in-law.
He wants to become stronger, become a master, and protect the things he cares about.
Therefore, in order to avoid the dark desires in his chest, he would avoid walking around his sister-in-law even when he saw her. It even made people think that he hated her when he saw her many times.
For this reason, Lin Jianfeng came to him specifically and asked him if Yao Xiaoxiao did something wrong.
later...
It was when he practiced secret martial arts that he began to notice changes in himself, but there was no turning back.
Li Xuan watched silently and suddenly caught a sentence.
'I heard him say, 'There is only one skill left before you can enter a higher realm.' It seems that the secret martial arts should be complementary.
There must be balance in those distorted visualizations. As long as I become stronger, as long as I am strong enough, I will definitely be able to balance and return to normal.
Sorry, brother.
Sorry...sister-in-law. '
After a long time...
Li Xuan threw the diary back and said, "Let's take a look."
Yao Qiu responded respectfully: "Yes."
As she said that, she started to look directly.
The pages flipped, slowly and slowly, like a replay of memory, spinning like a revolving lantern.
But I don’t know since when, the sound of turning books suddenly slowed down.
Yao Qiu pursed his thin lips, took a deep breath, raised his head slightly, and his eyes were red.
But until she read the entire diary, the tears did not fall from her eyes.
But...
What's in her heart?
