Liu Shui stared at Zhou Hongying closely. Zhou Hongying could not help but feel a little shy. She lowered her head shyly and asked, "Liu Shaoxia, when did you arrive in Tanzhou?"
Liu Shui was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, quickly looked away and said, "The day after I broke up with you. What about you?"
Zhou Hongying said: "I went back home first, and then came to Tanzhou."
Liu Shui then asked: "Miss Zhou, do you have any grudge against this Xu Qiong?"
Zhou Hongying said harshly: "Yes, my family and his family have a feud, and my father was killed by him."
When Liu Shui heard that she and Xu Qiong had such a deep grudge, he naturally couldn't ask more questions, so he had to say: "I see, why is no one accompanying you? It's too dangerous to take revenge alone!"
Zhou Hongying hesitated for a moment and said: "My cousin came with me. He came with me twice. This time I came here on my own and didn't tell anyone else. Do you also have a grudge against Old Thief Xu?"
Liu Shui shook his head and said, "I have no enmity with him. I heard that this person is a corrupt official, so I came here to see if it was true."
Although Liu Shui had a good impression of Zhou Hongying, he was not familiar with her, so he made excuses and did not reveal his true intentions.
Zhou Hongying did not doubt that he was there and said: "This old thief is a greedy beast. You don't have to doubt this. But I didn't expect that the old thief has such a powerful master. When I went there the first two times, I didn't find any powerful characters. , causing me to be careless and underestimate the enemy. How about we join forces to deal with this old thief in the future?" Zhou Hongying said cheerfully.
Liu Shui smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem in being a chivalrous person. However, I have to wait until I am completely sure of this person's character."
Zhou Hongying frowned and asked, "Don't you believe what I say?"
Liu Shui shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't believe you, but the matter is so important that I have to be careful. If he is a corrupt official, I may take his life, so I can't be careless."
Zhou Hongying glanced at Liu Shui and said slowly: "You act cautiously, so you can investigate slowly and pretend that I didn't say anything about joining forces. Tell me, how do you want me to thank you? As long as I can do it Yes, you can speak, but you can’t tease me.”
Liu Shui smiled slightly and said: "Forget it, I was just joking with you. You are a young lady, and I am a prodigal, and I have no intention of eating swan meat. It's a little effort, and I can't say much thanks."
Zhou Hongying breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Liu Shui would make any unreasonable demands and it would be difficult for her to handle them. Liu Shui didn't make any request, and Hongying felt a little sorry, so she said, "Thank you for the compliment. If you don't tell me, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow. Just tell me when you think of it."
Liu Shui said: "We can consider eating." "The day after tomorrow at noon, see you at Zuixian Tower. How about it?" "Okay."
Liu Shui asked again: "Miss Zhou, what is the name of the sword technique you performed just now? The posture was extremely graceful. If you danced the sword in white clothes, even if you were dancing like a fairy, you probably wouldn't look so good."
Zhou Hongying was praised by Liu Shui in person. She couldn't help but blush slightly, and said coquettishly: "Hey girl, she keeps calling me girl. It sounds weird, just call me Hongying. Is my name ugly?" "
Liu Shui said: "No way, I'm just afraid of offending the beauty. If you don't mind, I will call you Hongying from now on."
Zhou Hongying said: "The name is just for addressing me. Of course I don't mind. I will call you Brother Liu from now on. My swordsmanship is called Fangfei Swordsmanship, which is passed down from my family." The two chatted for a long time, and they were very happy with each other. It was almost dawn when the two of them broke up.
When Liu Shui returned to Li Mansion, it was already broad daylight. As soon as he entered the room, he found that Li Feng was asleep on the table. When Liu Shui saw this, he couldn't help but be extremely moved.
Although the two have not known each other for a long time, Li Feng has always appeared to be extremely willful. But Liu Shui knew that she was just arrogant on the outside, but was very kind on the inside and cared about him very much.
Liu Shui took a piece of clothing and covered her body to prevent her from catching cold. He was sitting opposite, looking at this unruly and willful looking girl, feeling both fond and troubled by her.
Liu Shui was thinking about it and fell asleep lying on the table. I dreamed that I was holding Hongying's hand and running, and then I was sitting on the beach with Luohua watching the sunrise... In a daze, Liu Shui woke up from his dream with a few banging sounds.
Liu Shui raised his eyes in a daze and saw Li Feng sitting opposite, with a cold face and raised eyebrows, holding a book and tapping himself.
"Feng'er, why did you hit me? I just came back!" Liu Shui asked sleepily.
"Do you know your guilt?" Li Fenghe asked.
Liu Shui naturally felt confused and asked quickly: "What crime am I guilty of?" "How dare you slander me in your dream?" Li Feng scolded: "Who is Hongying? Tell the truth!" It turned out that Liu Shui had just just I have been dreaming. In the dream, I was chasing and playing with Hongying for a while, and strolling and chatting with Hongying for a while. As a result, Li Feng heard all the talk in my sleep.
"Did I say anything bad about you?" Liu Shui asked. "Humph, what you were saying just now is, Li Feng, you damn girl, let's see if I don't deal with you!" "Huh?" That's it. It must have been just talking in sleep.
Liu Shui quickly apologized and said: "How dare you do this, Miss Feng'er." Of course, what Liu Shui said in his sleep was not like this, but said, "You look good, I like it very much." But Li Feng was too embarrassed to say it out loud, and it was very helpful to her.
But what Liu Shui said later was, "Hongying, I hope we can have the opportunity to meet more." When Li Feng heard this, he naturally lost his temper and woke up Liu Shui.
Liu Shui had no choice but to briefly tell what happened last night. The more Li Feng listened, the uglier his face became. By the time Liu Shui finished speaking, Li Feng's face was already livid. She stood up and said fiercely: "You are a heartless person. People stayed up all night and were freezing waiting for you, but you went to have fun, you... you..." He was so angry that he threw the book at Liu Shui and rushed out of the door. Liu Shui was confused, and since he had not slept all night, he was really tired, so he had no choice but to ignore her and go to bed.
After Li Feng rushed out of Liu Shui's room, he went to the garden. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He picked up a branch and beat a big stone hard to vent his anger. Her maid Furong happened to be passing by and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you? How about you guide me in my practice?" "It's nothing. You practice it yourself!" Li Feng shouted, threw away the branch, and said anxiously She ran back to her room with tears streaming down her face, but she didn't want to be seen by Fleur.
Furong and Peony are Li Feng's personal maids and have followed Li Feng since childhood. Although the three of them are master and maidservant in name, in reality they are like sisters. Furong was puzzled as to who had offended this young lady.
When it was time for lunch, Li Yan saw that neither Liu Shui nor Li Feng came over, so he asked Mu Dan to call. Mudan came outside Li Feng's room and called out: "Miss, it's time to eat." She wanted to push the door in but couldn't. Li Feng must have locked the door backwards.
When Mudan saw that Li Feng didn't answer, she called several times. "What the hell are you saying? I won't eat anymore." Li Feng shouted from inside. When Mudan saw her getting angry, she left quickly. She didn't dare to offend this hot-tempered young lady.
Then Meimei came to Liu Shui's room and pushed Liu Shui awake. Liu Shui tidied up a little and then went to the side hall, greeted Li Yan and sat down. Li Yan didn't see Li Feng coming, so he asked, "Why didn't Feng'er come to eat?"
Mudan quickly said: "Miss, I don't know what's wrong. She seems to be very angry and doesn't want to eat."
Liu Shui thought to himself that he seemed to be in trouble, so he said, "Then I'll invite her."
Just as Liu Shui was about to get up, Li Yan said, "Leave her alone, let's eat first." Liu Shui had no choice but to sit down.
After the meal, Liu Shui told Li Yan about his visit to Xu's house last night.
Li Yan thought for a moment and said: "It seems that this is a descendant of the Zhou family. She and Xu Qiong have old grudges. But you'd better not reveal your intentions in front of her. Her attitude towards the court is still very unclear. It’s hard to say for sure.”
Liu Shui asked in confusion: "Senior, do you know her origin?" Li Yan smiled slightly and said: "From your description and her martial arts skills, we can see that she should be a descendant of the Zhou family in Langzhou. Her grandfather is probably Zhou Jingzhen, and her father is Zhou Quan." Li Yan then briefly told Liu Shui about Zhou Hongying's family background.
It turned out that Zhou Jingzhen was a subordinate of Liang Wang Xiao Xian and was responsible for guarding Tanzhou. But he was framed, so Xiao Mian sent Xu Qiong's father Xu Xuanche to attack him. As a result, Zhou Jingzhen was killed, but Mrs. Zhou managed to escape with her son Zhou Quan.
Later, when Zhou Quan grew up, he sought revenge from the Xu family several times, but failed, and instead lost his life. Now that Xu Xuanche is dead and his father's debt has been paid by his son, Xu Qiong has naturally become the enemy of the Zhou family.
After listening to this, Liu Shui thought to himself that it was fortunate that he did not explain his intentions to her. Based on her life experience and experience, she probably didn't have a good impression of the imperial court, so she said: "Senior reminded me. Naturally, I will not let her know my plans, but please don't worry." After Liu Shui came back, Li Feng was annoyed. I also told you about Yue. Li Yan was a veteran, so he thought it was Li Feng who was jealous.
Li Yan had a great crush on Liu Shui, but they didn't get along for long, so Liu Shui didn't mention it, so it was hard for him to tell the truth. Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "I don't care about this. This is a matter between you young people. You think of a way to coax her. Once she is happy, nothing will happen."
Although Li Yan said he didn't care, he actually told Liu Shui what to do. When Liu Shui heard this, he naturally understood what he meant.
Liu Shui then came to Li Feng's door, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Feng'er, it's time to get up." There was no response from inside, so Liu Shui had to keep shouting.
"Go away, I don't want to deal with you, a black-hearted person." Li Feng yelled in the room.
"Miss Feng'er, it's my fault. I came here to apologize to you." Liu Shui thought that it must be because he was talking to Hongying that he delayed his return, which made Li Fengkong anxious while waiting. He really shouldn't have place.
Li Feng said, "Really? Where did you go wrong?" Liu Shui heard that her tone had softened a little, so he continued, "I shouldn't have chatted with others and made you worry at home."
"Huh, what else?"
"No more?"
"Then go away, I don't want to see you."
Liu Shui said quickly: "Miss Feng'er, I really don't know. Just tell me and I will correct it."
"Think for yourself."
