Swordsman Fengyunzhi

Chapter 489
Chapter 18 The Old Story of the Zhong Family
Yi Xifeng was secretly thinking about how many things he took pictures tonight. If he wanted to write them down, sometimes he spent money like running water, and he couldn't remember clearly in the end. It was about 8000 taels to 3000 taels between the two.

This figure is not too small for him. Back then in Yinren Town, he took Zhao Xiaoguang and Zhao Daguang to open Qingxin Wine House, and he only earned 1 taels a year. The family, nearly 2 taels of expenses, is also a lot of money.

He touched the bottle of emerald jade-colored pill in his arms, the pill from the Hall of True Martial Arts was actually a harder currency than he imagined, although the girl named Xiu'er left without saying anything, But from the fleeting reluctance when she threw the porcelain bottle back to herself, Yi Xifeng can be sure that this bottle of elixir is a good thing.

Of course, this is also what he planned in advance. After all, on Zhenwu Mountain, although this kind of Tongmai Pill is rare, it is not precious, and the deacon of the door will distribute it every quarter.Fortunately, Yi Xifeng also lived in poverty, since his own meridians are well developed, he naturally doesn't need this kind of elixir, and keeping it is not a small fortune.

Of course, not every elixir issued by the door is silver-patterned pills. In fact, most of them are copper-patterned pills when they are obtained, and silver-patterned pills are issued once a year. Part of the silver-pattern pill was exchanged for the copper-pattern pill to make up this bottle of pill.

While Yi Xifeng was thinking secretly, several men dressed as guards came to the private room where he was, and said in a deep voice: "Our master wants to see you."

Yi Xifeng looked at the pair of guards in front of him. Although they were only guards of Zhong's House, they looked like elite soldiers in the army, the kind of soldiers who had seen blood.

Unexpectedly, the Zhong family did have some methods, even the ordinary guards were well-trained!

While thinking about it, he asked, "Oh? Could it be the pill I gave her, what's the problem?"

The guard obviously couldn't answer the other party's question, so he had to repeat again: "Our master wants to see you, please come with me."

As he said that, the man stretched out his hand sideways and saluted, which seemed very polite.The young man in a long gown hesitated a little and walked out of the private room with them. He said that he had just bought this long gown. After all, his moon-white Taoist robe had been torn into rags due to the previous battle.

At this moment, Yi Xifeng looked different.The long-sleeved green shirt and the sword hanging from the waist seem to be a bit of a literati, like a young angry youth walking with a sword.It's just that his too delicate and fair face makes people feel like the kind of scholar with a sword who is stupid in reading.Coupled with the sapphire gourd hanging on the waist, it is indeed full of aura!

……

"Tell me, what do you want to know?" The girl sat in front of the desk above and asked softly, looking at the account in her hand.And Wei Huohu and Kui Mulang, who had fought against Yi Xifeng before, stood behind her like two goalkeepers.

Yi Xifeng didn't look at the two strong men, but his whole body was locked on them.After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and if they don't protect each other, these two people will make a sudden move. If they injure themselves severely, then he may not even have a chance to start again.

"I want to know what happened between Zhong Rui and Zhong Lingxi, why did Zhong Qianhe agree to their marriage?" Yi Xifeng asked indifferently.

Although the girl was prepared in her heart, she was still beautiful and slightly wrinkled. She took a deep look at Yi Xifeng, and instead of answering him, she asked deeply: "What is your relationship with Zhong Lingxi?"

The corner of Yi Xifeng's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "It's nothing, my mother's family!"

"Hehe, are you a confidante?" Xiu'er asked with a coquettish smile as if "you and I understand".

"Um, beauty doesn't count, blue face should be..." Yi Xifeng muttered to himself.

Xiu'er sighed softly, she obviously didn't hear what the young man muttered, and said to herself: "It's not easy for you, you can't get what you ask for, and marry the person you like as another's wife..."

Yi Xifeng looked at the other party helplessly, it seemed that his position in Xiu'er's heart was no longer lost, he must be the "absolutely infatuated" spare tire licking dog king, unwilling to face the reality bravely...

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought to himself: That's fine, if she can treat herself as a fellow sufferer, maybe she can get some information that he wants to know.

Thinking of this, Yi Xifeng immediately changed his face, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Lingxi, Lingxi must have been forced! She, how could she?..."

The two strong men called "A Cat and a Dog" by the girl had already stepped in front of Xiu'er, ready to subdue Yi Xifeng who was about to explode at any time.It's just that this performance, in the eyes of the girl, further confirmed her guess.

She raised her hand and waved to make the two people around her back away, and she continued: "Actually, the thing is like this..."

Xiu'er then slowly told Yi Xifeng about the changes in Zhong's family over the past few years.

On that day, the Zhong family was targeted by Zhou Yuanyi, the inner elder of the Luo Yunzong, and planned to instigate a rebellion against Zhong Qian, the chief steward of the Zhong family, who was also Zhong Rui's grandfather.But in the end, Li Chengtao stepped in to stop it in time, which triggered the big battle!

After that, the Li family brothers teamed up to fight against this powerful hero known as "Jade Faced Bodhisattva", and then shifted their positions.At the same time, Ji Shenfu also brought a hundred cavalry and entered Yinren Town from the northern border.

Prior to this, Zhong Qianhe, the patriarch of the Zhong family, had been bedridden and did not participate in it. However, he still did not escape the investigation by Zhao Yunming, the payroll organization. After all, this tall and thin middle-aged man had been engaged in intelligence work for decades. Many things about human nature are seen clearly.

Zhong Qianhe was sick and pushed Zhong Qian to the foreground because he wanted him to lead some of the clan's children who were not far away from Yinren Town to leave Yinren, which can be regarded as leaving a blood for his family.

Later, Luo Yunzong's other two elders of the Great Xia Realm: Ouyang Huanxi and Liu Baiyuan.They came to Fallen Leaf City because of the blood-stained historical sites, and found out that Zhou Yuanyi was trapped in the formation in the secret realm, and even witnessed Zhou Yuanyi and the Li family brothers being forcibly brought into the secret realm.

Later, these two inner sect elders with formidable strength brought Ji Shenfu, who had just returned from the defeat, to regroup and attack Yinren Town...

After that, Yi Xifeng also knew that more than 80 strong men died tragically, some of them guarded Tie Yi and Zhao Yunming.The White Ape and the others all died in the hands of the enemy in the end, and so far Yinren Town perished.

Since then, there are still many homeless people in Yinren Town, so they began to gather slowly, and finally entered Qingchuan County through Hongyan Town and Longxi Town.

And the disciples of the Zhong family who had left Yinren earlier seized this opportunity.Relying on their own leaving Yinren Town earlier and being more prepared, they landed in Qingchuan County.

As soon as Yinren Town was destroyed, more people came to Qingchuan County in just half a month.And the children of the Zhong family like them took this opportunity to make a lot of war windfall.

And taking this opportunity, the Zhong family took root in Qingyun City in Qingchuan County and established their own Zhong's firm.These people from Yinren Town, who are celibate strangers, can see the business houses of the six Yinren families, so they will naturally cheer.This also allowed Zhongjia Commercial Bank to quickly pass the previous difficult period.

At this time, Zhong Rui, who had been in charge of task distribution and intelligence work in Qingchuan County, came to the front of the stage.

First of all, most of the group of people who chose to leave Yinren Town and come to Qingchuan County supported Zhong Rui’s grandfather Zhong Qian; In a handwritten letter by Zhong Qianhe.

The general content of this letter is: In fact, a long time ago, Zhong Qianhe thought that Zhong Rui was a good kid. Before that, he had been serving as the captain of the guard iron clothes. He also knows all kinds of information... So, he decided to betroth his granddaughter Zhong Lingxi to Zhong Rui!
……

When Yi Xifeng heard the news, hundreds of muddy horses galloped past in his heart... It's hard to imagine that the Zhong family could believe such clumsy forged traces?Obviously, this letter could not have been written by Zhong Qianhe.Because from the essence of human nature, it is impossible for Zhong Qianhe to entrust Zhong Lingxi to others.

Even if he was really worried about his granddaughter's future life and needed to arrange for someone to take care of her, he would do it quietly instead of making an official announcement like this.

Because once it is announced that Zhong Rui will take care of Zhong Lingxi, it will be tantamount to giving up the position of Patriarch to Zhong Rui directly!Obviously this is illogical.

But even so, there are still many people who believe, or are willing to believe, especially those members of the Zhong family who support Zhong Qian and Zhong Rui.Yi Xifeng understood this truth very early on: "People only want to believe the truth that they want to believe."

Later, when the content of this letter gradually spread, it aroused huge public opinion. At least Zhong Lingxi, who devoted himself to practicing swords with Ou Yezi, after learning the news, disregarded the rules of his master and Qingyun School, and went down the mountain privately. He pulled Zhong Rui out and beat him up.

Zhong Rui is a bachelor, no matter how the girl beats and scolds, she doesn't fight back, and she doesn't fight back.It wasn't until Zhong Lingxi pierced the soil under his feet with a sword against his crotch that he changed his strategy a little... At least he knew how to dodge.

In the end, Zhong Rui was knocked unconscious by the furious Zhong Lingxi without any suspense, and the farce ended.

It's just that the beautiful girl didn't expect that the lesson didn't make the other party give in. When Zhong Rui woke up from the coma, the situation became even more serious.

Zhong Rui announced to the outside world, "Lingxi deserved to beat him, and I didn't suffer this beating in vain, because I really can't marry her now! After all, the Zhong family business has not really grown up yet, and when he revives the Zhong family Xiongfeng, come and marry her again!"

……

That's it, under the influence of many public opinions, Zhong Lingxi, the true power holder of the Zhong family, has gradually lost his dominant position, and the focus of people's attention has also shifted from the power holder to his private life.

When Yi Xifeng heard this, he had to say that he had a new understanding of Zhong Rui.

Before putting it on, he felt that this person was very sinister and extremely wanton.However, his own strength is not strong, and there are so many small movements such as stumbling blocks, it is difficult to achieve great things.

However, when he heard about Zhong Rui's five-year counterattack journey, he had to admit that he was really wrong at the beginning.At least this person has the spirit of "flexible and stretchable" and "perseverance".As the grandson of the housekeeper, he can suddenly become the son-in-law of his first-born granddaughter, and there are naturally many schemes involved.

"So Zhong Lingxi will be moved by Zhong Rui's sincerity in the end?" Yi Xifeng asked suspiciously. Pursuit is the easiest way to win a girl's heart.

Xiu'er nodded, but he still said with starry eyes: "How can there be a girl who is not attracted to being loved by Brother Rui so much?"

Yi Xifeng frowned, and suddenly felt that Zhong Rui really knew how to play. Not only did he set himself up as an infatuated and good man, but every time he hit a wall, he would bring him a lot of popularity. of.

And the girl named Xiu'er in front of her is obviously one of the "victims".However, this little girl also lacks a root in her mind. She really belongs to the kind of person who is sold and given money back.

"So, the last marriage... When is Zhong Lingxi going to settle down?" Yi Xifeng asked softly.

The girl gave him a hard look, and snorted coldly: "I heard from Brother Rui that..."

"Wait!" Yi Xifeng frowned and asked, "Since just now, you have been saying that your elder brother Rui told you? Didn't she tell you about the date of the wedding?"

Xiu'er snorted coldly, "I'm not going to see her at the Qingyun faction, Brother Rui will go by himself. As for what she said, who knows? Brother Rui won't lie to me anyway!"

Yi Xifeng obviously discovered the clues, and then thought of what he said after being beaten up by Zhong Lingxi...

He looked at the girl with an adoring expression in front of him, and suddenly a plan came to his mind!
"Actually, Lingxi chose him in the end, I don't blame her at all..." Yi Xifeng took out the wine gourd behind him and took a sip.

Seeing the other party looking at him with doubts on his face, he started his performance...

"Actually, Lingxi and I met in Yinren Town. I'm a member of a family, and the elders in my family admired Yinren Town for its good performance, so they asked someone to send me to Yinren Town to train with them. It's just that Ren Town's pay list organization is too strong, after I entered Yinren, I could only pretend to be a deaf-mute person to hide my eyes and ears."

Having said that, he then took another sip of wine, and said sadly: "Of course I didn't use my real name at that time, because my deaf-mute claimed to the public that it was because I lived in the mountains, and the root cause of my illness was a fever and cold illness when I was young. , I can’t hear about it since then. So my family named me Liang Shanbo!”

Speaking of this, Yi Xifeng smiled casually, his eyes sparkled, and murmured: "This name, maybe I hope that I will grow up in the mountains, be free from disease and disaster, and carry my name to Shanbo!"
