Boom boom boom
In the courtyard, a shirtless young man is as strong as a galloping horse and as agile as an ape.
His body moves very fast, turning into many shadows as he moves around. His fists are extremely powerful, and every punch he throws out has the power of a thousand catties.
The edge of the fist broke through the air, making a whimpering sound, and the foot stepped on the stone floor, running like a giant horse.
"Hi!"
He jumped in front of a row of stone slabs, shouted loudly, and punched continuously. The three-inch-thick stone slab shattered with a bang, and the stones flew everywhere, hitting the ground and cutting shallow marks.
"I have just turned twenty, and I am already a martial artist at the late stage of the fifth level of martial arts. When I join the army, I can be awarded the title of seventh-grade deputy lieutenant Zhaowu. I can command a hundred soldiers. If I can achieve innate talent, I can command a thousand people and become a military commander." Will!"
The young man stopped practicing boxing and stood in the courtyard.
He was sweating profusely, steaming all over, and emitting white smoke. He was not afraid of the severe winter cold at all. His muscles were refined, full of vitality, and powerful.
"Young master, if you are exhausted from practicing your martial arts, please drink the medicinal wine and take the precious pills!"
Two delicate maidservants came over holding a tray. Their dresses were made of fine silk and satin, and they wore small ermine coats. They were even more luxurious than the daughters of wealthy families in Shengjing City.
"Beauty, why don't you feed me with your mouth!"
Jiang Xuanyao laughed, and regardless of the stinking sweat all over his body, he hugged the two women and did not shy away from Jiang Li. He moved his hand up and down for a while before grabbing a red pill on the tray, swallowed it in one gulp, and drank it with medicinal wine.
"I was promoted to the Juqing Realm yesterday. Although each tael of the Nine Ginseng and Deer Antler Medicinal Wine is worth a hundred taels of silver, its efficacy is a bit weak. Luhen, you can go to the Marquis Pharmacy tomorrow to get a hundred catties of Tiger Bone and Black Medicinal Wine for me!"
Jiang Xuanyao took a sip of medicinal wine, frowned in disgust, and threw the remaining half bowl of medicinal wine on the ground, with the liquid flowing everywhere.
He strode to the wooden barrel filled with medicinal solution and jumped in. The hot water mixed with the medicinal solution splashed all over the floor.
The base of the wooden barrel is very high, and burning fine charcoal is placed underneath to keep the liquid in the barrel at a very high temperature.
"Jiang Li, come here!" Jiang Xuanyao leaned on the edge of the barrel, squinting his eyes and enjoying the maid's massage and relaxation.
"Ninth Young Master!"
Jiang Li came over. In terms of blood origin, Jiang Xuanyao was his ninth brother, but Jiang Li had always addressed his brothers and sisters as sons and daughters since he was a child.
Jiang Shirong, the eldest lady, and his brothers and sisters all acquiesced in this title.
The Nine Ginseng and Deer Antler Medicinal Wine spilled on the ground evaporated in a space. It was fragrant and pungent, and was worth a lot of money. However, when Jiang Li smelled it, it seemed a little thin and seemed not as thick as the medicinal wine given to him by the one-armed soldier. Lingering.
"Jiang Li, do you know that I am very kind to you?" Jiang Xuanyao suddenly said condescendingly.
"Jiang Li is stupid, please tell me, Ninth Young Master!"
"Of course it's about your marriage to Qianjun Bohou Mansion!"
Jiang Xuanyao smiled and said: "Originally, my mother arranged such good things for me, but I am different from you. I have been martial arts and ambitious since I was a child. I am determined to be a strong man like my father. In the future, I will become an official and become a marquis, so that I can expand my territory during the Great Zhou Dynasty. Soil, I have achieved great things. In six months, I will have my annual martial arts competition on the third day of my junior year, in September.
I am determined to win the top prize in martial arts. I don’t want to waste my youth and see you as pitiful. This is why my mother is going to marry Qian Junbo, a good thing to you! "
"It was you who entered Qianjun Bohou's mansion!"
Jiang Li's eyes suddenly condensed, and thoughts flashed in his mind.
He originally thought that the wife was deliberately targeting him for getting married, but now it seems that there is another reason.
The second wife, Ning, came from a prominent family. Her father was a fourth-grade magistrate, in charge of government affairs, and her status was not low.
Ten years ago, Jiang Shirong made great achievements in the expedition, and Emperor Jing made an exception and conferred Ning's title as the fifth-grade royal wife.
With such a background and status, Ning would never allow her son to disgrace the family and be reduced to a lowly status.
"Ning's eldest son Jiang Xuanjian joined the army three years ago and guarded the southwest border. It is said that he has become a fifth-grade cavalry general, commanding a thousand people.
"Yesterday I heard from the veterans at Yumen Restaurant that the eldest son of Qianjun Bohou is also guarding the southwest border and serving as the commander of the guard post. Is there any connection between the two?"
Jiang Li thought secretly in his heart.
"Jiang Li, although you and I are brothers, our status in this prince's mansion is very different. If you are not liked by your father and the eldest lady, you can only look up to others, be humiliated and bullied in this prince's mansion, but When you arrive at Uncle Qianjun’s Mansion, you will be able to enjoy endless splendor and wealth!”
Jiang Xuanyao saw that Jiang Li was silent, his tone was slightly high, and he was a little bit intimidating: "Jiang Li, do you think you should thank me?"
"Jiang Li has recorded the love of the Ninth Young Master!"
Jiang Li smiled, but there was no expression on his face.
"Then how should you thank me?"
Jiang Xuanyao suddenly stood up in the water, and his tall and strong body pressed forward. He stared straight into Jiang Li's eyes, narrowed his eyes and said: "You are going to marry as your son-in-law. Naturally, you can't bring your maid with you. Why don't you send Chuchu to me?" In the courtyard, don’t worry, I will definitely love her day and night. If she is well-behaved and obedient, I can even make her my concubine in the future!"
"Jiang Lixin accepted the kindness of the Ninth Young Master. Chuchu is my maid. No matter where I go in the future, I will always take her with me!"
Jiang Li's eyes were as calm as water, and he looked at Jiang Xuanyao calmly.
"Jiang Li, how dare you refuse me!"
Jiang Xuanyao was startled and very surprised. In his impression, Jiang Li was timid and timid. In the past, when they met in the mansion, they would shrink back and even dare not raise their heads to look at him. Why is it different now?
Could it be that he was just pretending before?
Now that he is going to join Qianjun Bohou Mansion, he thinks that he has a backer, so how dare he not take himself seriously?
The Liu family of Qianjun Bohou Mansion is declining in the west, and they are nothing compared to the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion.
"Jiang Li, do you know what you are talking about?"
Jiang Xuanyao's brow muscles twitched, and there was anger in his eyes. The son of a cheap concubine dared to reject him!
"Ninth Young Master, if there is nothing else, I will resign!"
Jiang Li said calmly, his eyes were indifferent, as if what he saw in front of him was not the ninth son of the Hou family, but an angry male dog!
"Very well, Green Trace will see you off!"
Jiang Xuanyao stared at Jiang Li for a while, then slowly sat back in the barrel. He closed his eyes and sneered, waving to see the guest off.
The medicinal liquid was thrown out casually, splashing onto Jiang Li's robe.
The stains on the snow-white robe are extremely eye-catching.
"Ninth Young Master, Jiang Li resigns!"
Jiang Li's face remained expressionless. He bowed his hands in salute, then turned around and strode away.
"Jiang Li, go back and warn that little coquettish girl in Chuchu, tell her not to show off and seduce my young master!"
After walking out of the courtyard, Lu Hen stood in front of the courtyard door with a cold face and whispered a warning to Jiang Li.
But before she was halfway through her words, Jiang Li, who had been walking in front silently with his head lowered, suddenly turned around, swung his right arm, and slapped Lu Hen's face hard with his palm.
"ah"
Although Lu Hen had some skills, he was only at the early stage of the second level of martial arts after all. She was a woman and her strength was much smaller. He was unexpectedly slapped by Jiang Li, and his whole body flew out and was slapped back to the courtyard. Rolling on the ground.
"Jiang Li, you, the bastard born of a concubine, how dare you hit me!"
Lu Shen screamed in anger, her body was covered with dust, and her whole body was in disbelief and incomparable anger. Her cheek felt no pain, only numbness, and it swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Despicable slave, who gave you the courage to call me a bastard with no dignity? It's true that I am a bastard, but even though I am a bastard, I am also the son of Jiang Shirong, the Marquis of Zhenwu. If you call me a bastard, you think you are a bastard." Madam, you are still the second madam!”
Jiang Li shouted coldly, and he turned around and rushed into the courtyard. Jiang Xuanyao's personal bodyguard had already heard the news and came out, pulled out a long knife and rushed towards him.
