Chapter 1096 Chapter [-]

After the Chinese New Year, it was a rare and leisurely afternoon, the autumn wind blew through the courtyard, and the leaves rustled softly.

Facing the courtyard, in the practice room with a wooden floor, Ning Yi was wearing a bunt and was doing a serious warm-up exercise with his hands on his hips.

The watermelon on the other side just came back from outside, took a shower, tied up her hair, wore a loose and comfortable light blue top and long skirt, and sat barefoot on a chair on the side of the room.

"This time I came here, I originally wanted to fight against the old man...Earlier, Sister Tizi and Boss Du said that he is even better...It's a pity that you sent him on a mission..."

She tucked her right leg in the chair, hugged her knees with her hands, and watched her august husband punching vigorously, while talking casually.Ning Yi ignored her nagging.

"Drink! Ha! Drink! Drink!" Jumping at a quick pace, he staggered a few punches. Although the series was weird in the past, but now the watermelon, red grape and others are familiar with it. After warming up, everyone Grandmaster Ning Liheng stood still in the center of the room: "You, get up."

"Ah?" Xigua blinked, pointed at herself, and got off the seat after a while, jumped two steps forward, her eyes narrowed into crescents: "Oh." She waved her hands and faced her. Ning Yi.

"I will have a fair fight with Ba Dao Liu Xigua." Martial arts master Ning Liheng raised his right hand and gestured towards Xigua.

"Uh..." Xigua blinked her eyes, then raised her hand, "...I, Ba Dao Liu Xigua, will have a fair fight with the demon Ning Liheng."

She thought for a while, opened her hands, and used the move "White Crane Spreads its Wings".

Of course, it is rare for a cripple like Bai He Spreading His Wings to fight against a master. The great master Ning Liheng was insulted.

But he was deadpan and very mature.

"Qian Laoba was sent to Jiangning by me."

"Oh." Watermelon reacted and nodded, "I asked him to take..."

The moment he spoke, Grandmaster Ning Liheng rushed forward with all his strength, and kicked the watermelon standing on one leg with a sweeping leg. Ning Yi rushed over in front, trying to throw her away like a tiger.

The watermelon stepped back, grabbing Grandmaster Ning Liheng's skirt with both hands, under the huge momentum, the two of them were pulling each other and spinning, the skirt of the watermelon almost unfolded into a lotus, turning around three times, the great master Ning Liheng rolled out with a grunt, reached out and pressed the ground to stand up after two feet, feeling a little dizzy, but he adjusted his sight immediately.very mature.

"You should take the second sweeper instead of jumping on me."

She closed her fists and jumped.

"I'm afraid I'll hurt you." Grandmaster Ning Liheng twisted his neck sideways, "This is for real."

"Oh." Watermelon nodded, "...So, Lao Ba led the team to Jiangning, and Xiao Hei and Yu Wen also went together... What are you going to do with He Wen?"

"I have no prejudice against him in the political field. Whether to be a friend or an enemy depends on the future development."

Great Grandmaster Ning Liheng was speaking, and made an attacking gesture. After all, he came out of the group of Grandmasters, and his posture showed no flaws in his whole body, showing everyone's demeanor.Watermelon put on a big boxing posture, like a person who inserts a label and sells the first.

"It's time to find out his attitude. To be honest, everyone in the army doesn't have a good impression of him, especially this time when the hero conference is held, everyone wants to beat him."

"I think... the black tiger is out of his mind!" The grand master caught him by surprise and started to attack.

"The bastard climbed the tree!" Xigua opened his hands and jumped suddenly, scaring the opponent back.

"Is there such a trick?"

"I can't go up, so I just jump." She explained.

"...It makes sense for you to say that." Ning Yi nodded, "I thought you would like He Wen better. After all, he is dividing the land."

"Of course I don't hate him theoretically, but I'm also a woman. He can't take advantage of others."

"—Monkeys stealing peaches!"

"I do not have."

In the room, Grandmaster Ning Liheng rushed forward, Grandmaster Liu Xigua caught it with a palm and counterattacked. The two fisted and kicked very quickly, crackling together.This time it was no longer Heihu's heart-to-heart confrontation with Wang Bashangshu, but a well-organized sparring.If the general masters in the Jianghu are present, otherwise they will be terrified, because the martial arts of the two masters are extremely strong, and they are evenly matched for a while, and they are inseparable. It is a rare peak duel.

"He Wen is developing too fast. The conference is held to stabilize his ruling power. There will be a lot of things happening inside..."

"If there is a chance, I would also like to visit Jiangning, after all, it is your hometown..."

"Forget it this time. If one is bad, you'll have to play a dog's brains over there... Heh heh, you're pretty good at it."

"Yuwen should bring a gun. I heard that Lao Lin will go... Let's make a deal."

"You, you're out of breath... not only Lao Lin, but all forces will send people there this time. The martial arts people are just actors on the stage, and the water on the stage is very deep. Judging from the development process of the five groups of members of the Fair Party, if He Wen is stable Can't stop...watching the fist!"

"...dodged."

"If you can't stabilize, the army will directly kill Jiangning... It's possible. Monkeys steal peaches..."

"No stealing."

"Double dragons go to sea!"

"Monkey steals peaches!"

"Black tiger digs its heart!"

"Murder your own husband—don't pull my skirt!"

"There is no move called murdering your husband, if you make a mistake, you have to admit defeat..."

"what……"

The two punched each other in the middle of the hall, and then Watermelon screamed, grabbed her skirt and started to run, there was a "hiss" in the room, after a while, the great master Ning Liheng will be the same as the great master Liu Xigua cornered the wall and fell to the ground.

"You tear things up..." Watermelon hit him with a fist.

……

Grandmaster Ning Liheng won this fair contest, was so tired that he was out of breath, lying on the ground, watermelon lying on the floor, with open arms, accepting the education of this failure.

"Xiao Ji's birthday will be in two days." She sighed softly, "Where do you think he has gone now?"

"...According to that guy's personality of joining in the fun, maybe Lao Ba will have to meet him in Jiangning."

"I should be asked to go, what should I do if I meet Lao Lin..."

"Lao Ba leads a group of people, they are all good players, and they won't lose if they meet."

"You also said that it might become a battlefield..."

"I mentioned it to Lao Ba. When I saw the bastard, I told him to run or catch him..."

"I'm still worried..."

"If you care about it, you will be chaotic... Even if it is a battlefield, that guy is not incapable of surviving. Don't forget how many real girls he killed during the time he was with Brother Zheng. He is smarter than a rabbit, and he will run away if there is any trouble. ..."

"A place like the battlefield... you are not worried?"

Ning Yi also turned over, and the two lay side by side, looking at the roof of the room, and the sunlight came in from the door.After a while, he spoke.

"Boys always want to go out..." He thought for a while, "It's all your fault and Hong Ti, teach him martial arts..."

"Isn't it because you told him all day long that you are a master of martial arts, Zhou Tong worshiped you, and Lu Tuo was beaten to death by you..."

"That's all true. I still blame you..."

The couple shirked their responsibilities and raised the bar with each other. After a while, they waved and hit each other. Watermelon laughed and turned over and climbed onto Ning Yi.Ning Yi frowned: "What are you doing..."

"Again."

"...I won or you won." Ning Yi sighed, "You don't talk about martial arts."

"You won, it's all my fault and Sister Tizi's..."

As the autumn wind blew across the courtyard, the leaves rustled, and their subsequent voices became murmurs, which melted into the warm autumn wind.

……

On the same autumn day, more than [-] miles away from Chengdu, the young man who was cared for by the couple was traveling to Tongshan County on Jinghu North Road with a group of fellow travelers.

It has been more than two months since he came out of Chengdu, and he is still accompanied by a few Confucian scholars headed by Lu Wenke, who is "promising", Fan Heng, who "respects the gods", and Chen Junsheng, who is a "cold face" and because of Lu Wenke's relationship. Father and daughter Wang Jiang and Wang Xiuniang who have been with them all the time.

Born in troubled times, it is not easy to travel, which is exactly the case. It is extremely precious to find a few reliable friends to walk along the way.Lu Wenke and the others also cherish this kind of fate with each other. In this way, they traveled two or three thousand miles together, watching the scenery of various places and observing the folk customs along the way. After more than two months, they became more and more familiar with each other. Accumulate family-like feelings.

This is not the same as Ning Ji's fantasy of the outside world when he set off, but even in such a troubled world, it seems that there is always a relatively safe path to move forward.They had heard about bandits along the way, and they had seen relatively difficult officials. Even during the time they traveled along the south bank of the Yangtze River, they had seen the sails of warships heading for the north of the Yangtze River from a distance—the north seemed to be There was a war—but the big disaster did not appear in front of them, so that Ning Ji's dream of being a hero in the rivers and lakes was a little slack for a while.

Before arriving at Tongshan, the first thing they passed was Jinghu North Road, and the group traveled to relatively prosperous Jiayu, Ezhou, Chibi and other places.This area belonged to the land of the Fourth World War. The Jurchens suffered a military disaster when they came, and were later acquired by Liu Guangshi. After gathering the power of the gentry from all over the place and receiving the "support" of the Huaxia Army, the prosperity of the city was restored.Now Jiangbei is already at war, but the atmosphere on the south bank of the Yangtze River is only slightly chilly.

Scholars such as Lu Wenke had the desire to rule the world. Everywhere they went, in addition to visiting scenic spots, they would also personally visit places that had suffered wars before.

Pass Jinghu North Road and arrive at Tongshan County, which is already the junction of Jinghu North Road and Jiangnan West Road.The county town of Tongshan County is not big, and because of the military disasters, the city walls are still damaged at this time, but there are scenic spots such as Jiugong Mountain outside the county town. Going into the mountains to escape, except for the county town being burned, there were not many casualties, but Liu Guangshi was going to fight this year, and many strong men were captured here, and the streets and alleys were full of pain.

Go south from Tongshan, enter Jiangnan West Road, and travel another three or four hundred miles to arrive at Lu Wenke's hometown, Hongzhou.Along the way, he talked about going back to Hongzhou to make use of what he had seen and learned in the southwest, but when he got here, he was not in a hurry to go home immediately.The group visited Jiugong Mountain for two days, and saw the place where Jin Bing set fire that day in Tongshan County. This afternoon, they set up hot pot in the yard reserved by the inn.Everyone arranged the venue, prepared the ingredients, recited poems and wrote Fu, enjoying themselves.

This inn is a newly built gate, but it also suffered disasters during the war.A big locust tree in the middle of the backyard had been burned, and it was half dead and half prosperous.It was golden autumn, and the leaves on half of the big trees in the courtyard began to turn yellow. The magnificent scene was quite meaningful. Fan Heng shook his head and said that the tree was just like the current situation of the Wu Dynasty, and he recited two poems very much.

Lu Wenke and others were also talking about the current situation of their family and country. Chen Junsheng interrupted occasionally, still in the sharp style of his previous words.Several servants in the yard set up a shed to cover the fallen leaves. Wang Jiang bought a lot of ingredients from outside and was preparing them there with his daughter Wang Xiuniang.

Ning Ji sat among the chatting scholars and listened to their nonsense, but kept looking at Wang Xiuniang who was cutting the meat over there.In order to prepare this hot pot today, everyone spent a lot of money and bought two large slices of meat. At this time, they were being sliced ​​into thin slices under Wang Xiuniang's knife, and Ning Ji was eager to move.After cutting it in half, Wang Xiuniang came over to greet everyone with a smile, and stretched out her greasy fingers to pinch Ning Ji's cheek.

"Xiaolong, Xiaolong, you always look at me. Could it be that you like your sister?"

Ning Ji didn't have the same knowledge as her, and Lu Wenke on the side said, "I think he likes those meats."

After more than two months of walking together, they finally reached a consensus on the matter of Ning Ji's large appetite and gluttony.Seeing Lu Wenke talking, Wang Xiuniang smiled softly: "Then eat more later." I don't know if she is talking about Lu Wenke or Ning Ji.

After traveling together along the way, Lu Wenke and Wang Xiuniang finally had some warm development-in fact, Lu Wenke was at a romantic age, and he had some family background in Hongzhou. Although Wang Xiuniang was young and fit, but in terms of status, he was unworthy. Those who fall in love with him are more ruthless than grass and trees, and the two sides have been walking together for more than two months, and subtle feelings have naturally been established.

Although Lu Wenke couldn't marry her, it was fine to take her as a concubine, and for women like Wang Xiuniang who performed in the arts, as long as Lu Wenke was reliable, this could be regarded as a good home.

It was not yet night, and everyone was fighting and having some snacks.When talking about the local situation in Tongshan, Fan Heng, a middle-aged Confucian who loves to babble about teaching Ning Ji’s knowledge, said: “When I came back from outside yesterday, Xiaolong still remembers the Wubao of the Li family that I saw on the road?”

"Well, I remember." Ning Ji nodded.

"I inquired with people this morning. The largest wealthy family in the area and the most powerful master of the rivers and lakes came out of the Wubao of the Li family."

After traveling together for more than two months, Ning Ji's secret of being greedy has been exposed. As a young man, he did not deliberately hide his love of martial arts.Although Fan Heng and others are scholars, they regard Ning Ji as a nephew worth cultivating. In addition, the background of the Jiangning Heroes Conference is thousands of years old, so they inquire about various local green forest anecdotes wherever they go.

At this time, he laughed with everyone: "It is said that the background of this great local master is not easy to tell. His father is a member of the Great Light Sect. He was originally one of the protectors of the Great Light Sect. He used to have a nickname. It's called 'Monkey King', and its name is Li Ruoque. Don't listen to the funny name, but you are very skilled. I heard there are big monkey boxing and little monkey boxing..."

"The white ape has arms." Ning Ji said.

"That's right, there's also the White Ape Open Arm Fist." Fan Heng said, "This Li Ruoque has been famous for almost 20 years, but his family business was not big back then. After all, before Jingping, the world valued literature over martial arts. The heart demon in the southwest also had a big vengeance, that is, before the heart demon killed the king, many masters of the Daguang sect entered the capital, and the 'monkey king' Li Ruoque was one of the generals under the 'piercing forest north leg' Lin Zongwu, who died later. Under the sweep of the Huaxia Army's iron cavalry, it seems that monkeys can't run horses after all..."

Fan Heng is a scholar, and he doesn't have much respect for warriors. At this time, he was silent for a while, and smiled: "After Li Ruoque died, the one who inherited the family business was called Li Yanfeng. This man's ability is as good as his father's. After Li Ruoque's death, he not only became famous quickly, but also expanded his family business several times, and then went south with the soldiers of the Jurchens. In this troubled world, it was the Green Forest people who took advantage, and he quickly organized the local After the villagers entered the mountain and came out of the mountain, the largest family in Tongshan, hehe, became the Li family."

"Today's Li Yanfeng is a popular man in front of General Liu Guangshi Liu. He built Wubao, organized Xiangyong, and the path he took... Can you see it? It is an imitation of the Miaojiang Badao in the past. I heard that this time in the north During the war, he was a member of the Li family who went to General Liu's tent to listen to the announcement, and Li Yanfeng himself was Li Yanfeng's deputy in the Jiangning Heroes Conference... Xiaolong, if you go to Jiangning, you might be able to see him."

He talked about what he found out, and Chen Junsheng on the side thought about it: "This time, I heard that Master Lin is also going to Jiangning, and there is something going on in the middle."

Lu Wenke nodded and said: "In the past ten years, it is said that the leader of the Great Bright Sect has been organizing anti-golden activities in the north, and the religious affairs in the south are indeed a bit messy. If he goes to the south of the Yangtze River this time, he will give a shout. The faction is going to join another group of people, it seems that this Jiangning conference is indeed a battle between dragons and tigers."

"A chaotic situation is not a good thing. At Xiaolong's age, don't join in the fun." Some people were worried about Ning Ji.

Fan Heng nodded.

Lu Wenke said: "Why don't you take a look first? When I arrive in Hongzhou in a while, I will ask the elders in my family to make more inquiries and ask about the tricks in the Jiangning Conference. If it is really dangerous, Xiaolong might as well stay in Hongzhou first." For a while. You don’t have to rush to visit your hometown now.”

Ning Ji didn't intend to explain to him, stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek: "Let's talk."

Chen Junsheng smiled over there, and said to Lu Wenke, "You should say, fat is enough."

"Enough is enough, it must be enough."

Everyone laughed, and Ning Ji also laughed.He likes this kind of atmosphere, but the people in front of him naturally don't know that the matter of going to Jiangning is not something that can shake him with a few pieces of fat.

Amidst the laughter, the setting sun sprinkled golden afterglow on the backyard of the inn. There were trees swaying and leaves falling above the yard. When Wang Xiuniang brought food over to display, everyone made fun of Ning Ji again. It was a harmonious scene .

The next day was July [-]th of this year, and it was also a day for everyone to rest temporarily. Several scholars got up a little later. Performing arts, earning some money—the relationship between Wang Xiuniang and Lu Wenke is uncertain, they have always been self-reliant like this, and Lu Wenke didn't stop it.

Everyone was discussing in the inn whether they should go out to play in the afternoon. According to the owner of the inn, the Wubao of the Li family was not closed and had a martial spirit.Although many people have been dispatched across the river to fight, there are still people practicing martial arts in the fort. Occasionally, people from the rivers and lakes or passersby go there, and they are allowed to visit or even discuss with each other. It is always possible to go and have a look.

It was noon, and when it was time to eat, the street outside seemed quiet instead.Suddenly, someone rushed into the inn covered in blood, shouting: "Help!"

A group of people were sitting in the hall of the inn playing cards. Seeing this scene, Ning Ji flew past him, grabbed him, and quickly identified the injury.And Wang Jiang was still running in the direction of several scholars: "Help! Help...Save Xiuniang..."

While talking, several people who looked like yamen servants also rushed into the inn, and one of them shouted: "The gangster is committing murder, run away, take him down!"

Someone has already waved the chain, pointing to Lu Wenke and others who are standing up in the lobby: "No one is allowed to move! Whoever moves will be guilty of the same crime as the gangster!"
