"Father……"
In the hall, Jiang Xuanxin's whole body was trembling uncontrollably. His face was pale, his hands were tightly clenching the corners of his clothes, and his mouth was dry.
He wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something invisible, and no sound came out.
This is an instinctive fear that is irresistible.
"Master Hou, Xuan Xin doesn't know anything at all. He was just coerced by the little beast. It was all Jiang Li who was acting to cause trouble. This boy is so vicious at a young age, and he will be a disaster to the family when he grows up!" Ning took the opportunity to shout and stir up trouble.
"no no……"
Jiang Xuanxin shook his head violently. He was breathing heavily and his eyes began to become bloodshot.
The fear of his father in his heart made him cowardly and weak, and he lost all courage, but Ning's words were like a sharp knife thrust into his chest again.
He could be shattered to pieces, he could grovel, he could surrender to his father's majesty and swallow all the grievances and bitter fruits, but he would never allow anyone to slander Jiang Li.
That was his brother, the one who was truly kind to him in this world.
The sky was full of wind and snow, and the back of the young man holding the reins and galloping on the horse in front of the carriage, shielding him from the wind and snow, had long been deeply engraved in his heart.
"It's Jiang Xuanyao, it's Ninth Brother Jiang Xuanyao!"
Jiang Xuanxin shouted suddenly, all the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head, his ears were ringing and he couldn't hear his own voice, but something that had never happened before appeared in his blood and bones!
courage!
The courage to be upright and brave enough to face everything!
"Ten days ago, Ninth Brother Jiang Xuanyao found me and forced me to devise a plan to lure Fifteenth Brother out of the city. If I didn't obey, Jiang Xuanyao would sell Yuemei and Luoxue to Goulan. I was timid and fearful, so I had no choice but to agree!"
Jiang Xuanxin opened his robe, revealing the hideous wound on his chest, and said: "On the snowy mountain, Ninth Brother sent many bandits to attack us. We finally escaped to the bottom of the mountain. Yuemei and Luoxue were shot by crossbows again, and I was also injured. The slave bought by Brother Ninth stabbed his chest with a knife. The culprit of all is Jiang Xuanyao, and he is only for Sister Chuchu in Brother Fifteen's room!"
"Nonsense, you are talking nonsense. My son Xuan Yao is benevolent, righteous, affectionate, and has a simple nature. How can he be what you said!" Ning yelled crazily. She was so excited that the hairpin on her head fell to the ground.
"That's enough!" Ning lost his composure, and Jiang Shirong couldn't help but drink.
An invisible coercion rushed towards Ning, directly forcing Ning back to her seat.
The eldest lady He Loushi on the side watched everything with cold eyes, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a feeling of gloating.
"Master Marquis, Yao'er has been wronged!" Ning didn't dare to yell anymore, but she still defended Jiang Xuanyao, with tears and lamentations, as if there were endless grievances and injustices.
"Your Majesty, Qilin Guard Qianhu and Ningyuan General Luo Ying would like to see you!" Qiu Tianhai walked in from outside the hall at this time.
"Qilin Guard Luo Ying? I know this person. He is a trusted expert around the Holy Master. He has also experienced the battle at Jigu Temple, but what does he want from me?" Jiang Shirong raised his head, a little confused.
"Master Marquis, General Luo is here this time, actually..." Qiu Tianhai glanced at Jiang Li, "General Luo is here to visit Young Master Li, saying that he is here to deliver the crocodile dragon essence powder for Princess Yunle!"
"What!"
As soon as Qiu Tianhai's words came out, He Loushi and Ningshi were shocked and lost their voices at the same time.
With a clang, the tea cup in He Loushi's hand fell to the ground, and all the hot tea spilled on her feet.
Jiang Shirong also raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Li again.
This bastard whom he hated the most had given him too many surprises today.
Not only is he courageous, calm and rational, he is also very familiar with Princess Yunle!
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that the Crocodile Jiao Jing Yuan Powder was the raw material that the prince collected with great difficulty and many years.
Originally, he planned to donate half to the Holy Emperor and keep the other half for himself, but Princess Yunle stopped him and said that he wanted to give it to a friend.
That friend couldn't be Jiang Li!
impossible.
Absolutely impossible! !
The eldest lady didn't believe it, and Ning stomped her feet and shook her head.
Jiang Li had been trapped in the Hou Mansion since he was a child. It was not until a few days ago that he became a son-in-law and was allowed to leave the house to move around.
But in just a few days, he met Princess Yunle!
Crocodile Jiao Jingyuan Powder is a top-quality medicine used by martial arts warriors to refine their body and build their foundation. Even if they give Jiang Li half a jar, it would be a great friendship.
"Please come in, General Luo!" Jiang Shirong waved his hand and ordered.
He is a second-rank official in the imperial court and is in charge of the Ministry of War. Luo Ying is only a fifth-rank general. There is a huge disparity in status between the two.
But Luo Ying was a person close to Emperor Jing and had a special status.
"Qilin Guard Qianhu pays homage to Marquis Zhenwu!"
After a while, a tall and tall middle-aged man with lightning eyes walked into the hall.
His aura was restrained and his temples were bulging high. He obviously had strong martial arts strength.
"General Luo has lived in the deep palace for a long time, accompanying the Holy Lord. It is a rare visitor to come to our Wuhou Mansion today!" Jiang Shirong's face was gentle and motionless.
"How dare you come to the door without having anything to do!"
Luo Ying waved his hand gently, and ten Ouchi Qilin Guards wearing vermilion Qilin armor filed in.
Nine of them each held an earthen jar that was half a person's height, and the last person held a very heavy copper box.
"Marquis Wu, these nine jars of Crocodile Dragon Essence Essence Powder were given to Young Master Jiang Li by Yun Le. As for the Hunyuan Baoding, they were temporarily lent to Young Master Jiang Li and will need to be returned in three months!" Luo Ying said! .
"Hunyuan Baoding!"
This time, not only He Loushi and Ningshi were stunned on the spot, as if they had lost their souls, but Jiang Shirong also looked at the copper box in Qilin Guard's hand with a flash of his eyes.
The Hunyuan Baoding is a famous martial arts cultivation treasure of the Zhou royal family. It can assist in the early stages of martial arts cultivation and lay a solid physical foundation for warriors.
Even Jingdi's sons, not everyone can ask for and use them.
Princess Yunle actually lent such a treasure to Jiang Li. This kind of treatment was comparable to that of the Prince of Zhou Dynasty.
In addition, there are nine large jars of Crocodile Dragon Essence Powder!
"General Luo, the dog has been naughty and ignorant of progress since childhood. How can He De dare to enjoy such a heavy thing? Princess Yunle's kindness is appreciated by Shi Rong, but this thing cannot be accepted!" Jiang Shirong declined politely.
"Marquis Wu, the general can't make the final decision in this matter, but Young Master Jiang Li has made many suggestions for the princess's three strategies to control recklessness. Young Master Jiang Li deserves these rewards!"
Luo Ying clasped his fists and had no intention of taking away the Crocodile Jiao Jingyuan Powder and Hunyuan Medicine Cauldron.
"You said that the three strategies to control the recklessness are related to Jiang Li!"
Jiang Shirong's eyes flickered, and his eyes paused on Jiang Li, thoughtfully, and then moved away after a few breaths.
"In this case, Shi Rong will thank Princess Yunle for Quanzi's kindness!"
Jiang Shirong nodded slowly and said to Qiu Tianhai: "Tianhai, take General Luo to Lanhong Pavilion!"
"Master Hou!"
When the eldest lady, He Loushi, heard the words "Lanhong Pavilion", her expression suddenly changed. She suddenly stood up from her seat, her face became extremely embarrassed, and her whole face became distorted.
"Um?"
Jiang Shirong let out a sigh and looked at He Loushi calmly with his narrow eyes.
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Helou's body froze, and after a long time, he slowly sat down, but his whole body was plunged into an extremely gloomy atmosphere, which was so cold that it was almost like water.
"Lanhong Pavilion?"
Jiang Li frowned slightly. Zhenwuhou Mansion occupies a large area with hundreds of courtyards.
Among them, in addition to Jiang Shirong's Yinwu Pavilion, there are two other most famous ones.
One is Qiluan Pavilion of the eldest lady, and the other is Lanhong Pavilion!
However, Lanhong Pavilion has been idle since Jiang Li could remember it, and no one has moved in for more than ten years.
