Taiqing Sword

Chapter 20, The Leng Family
The guards led Shangguan Jinghong and Ning Ningxin into the manor, just in time to meet the drunkard old man returning excitedly: "Miss Xin'er, come with me quickly, the owner is already waiting for you in the hall."

Ning Ningxin's eyes turned red, she tried her best not to cry, and followed the old drunkard closely, and Shangguan Jinghong followed silently.

When I came to the hall, Ning Xin stood at the door and looked at the white-haired old man with his back facing her in the hall. She couldn't help it anymore, tears kept falling like broken beads, and the drunkard old man patted Ning Xin lightly: "Xin'er Miss, don't just stand there, go in."

"grandfather……"

The white-haired old man trembled but did not turn his head: "You still know which way the door is facing, rare, rare."

"Grandpa, I'm back."

"Don't call me grandpa. You ran away from marriage ten years ago. I'm no longer in Leng's family." The white-haired old man still didn't look back.

"grandfather……"

Seeing Ning Ning Xin's helpless look, Shangguan Jinghong felt pain in his heart, and stepped forward to hug Ning Xin: "Ning Xin, I said that the family is ruthless, and I have advised you not to come back. You are disobedient. Ten years ago, you were almost raped. If someone kills you, what else has your family given you besides endless harm, let's go home."

The white-haired old man shuddered and turned his head suddenly: "What happened ten years ago?"

Ning Xin stared blankly at Shangguan Jinghong and didn't know what to say. Shangguan Jinghong said righteously: "Patriarch Leng, Ning Xin had no choice but to escape from marriage ten years ago. Not far from Leng's house, just because Ning Xin didn't want to marry someone she had never met before, the Leng family put her life and death in disregard. For ten years, Ning Xin wanted to return to the family, but it was impossible. Thinking about being treated like this today, Ning Xin, will you return to this family?"

The white-haired old man's lips trembled slightly, he stared at Shangguan Jinghong's serious expression, and tugged at his sleeve: "Jinghong, don't do this, he is my grandfather."

Shangguan Jinghong pretended to be a little addicted, and continued: "Ningxin, you, ah, ten years ago he forced you to marry, and now he doesn't recognize you, you still..."

The white-haired old man stared at her eyes: "Shut up, her surname is Leng, and the old man is also surnamed Leng. Even if the old man doesn't recognize her, she is also from the Leng family."

Shangguan Jinghong curled his lips: "Patriarch Leng, you just said that there is no such person in the Leng family, Ning Xin, maybe you went to the wrong door, let's go home."

The white-haired old man was speechless, suddenly stunned, where did this kid come from?Then he asked unkindly: "Boy, who are you? You dare to say that to the old man. It seems that the Leng family has not appeared in the Jianghu for many years, and the existence of the Leng family has been forgotten in the Jianghu."

When Ning Ningxin heard this, she became anxious: "Grandpa, he is mine..."

"Whether you want to change your name or not change your surname. I am shocked by Shangguan. It is Ning Xin's husband. He originally accompanied Ning Xin back to her mother's house to have a look. Now I think I may have gone to the wrong door. I'm sorry old man. It may have been a long time and I forgot. How are you leaving? Say goodbye." Shangguan Jinghong looked indifferent, and walked out with Ning Ningxin after speaking.

"Stop!" The white-haired old man yelled loudly, and with the burst of inner strength, Shangguan Jinghong's blood surged and he retreated three or four steps before standing still. Ning Ning's heart became anxious when he saw it, and immediately stood in front of Shangguan Jinghong : "Grandpa, don't hurt him."

"Hmph, you don't know how high the sky is, Xin'er, why did you choose him?" In fact, I was a little surprised in my heart, it can be said that there are very few people with such skills at a young age.

"Grandpa, he once saved Xin'er's life, and now...Grandpa, please don't hurt him, you and him are my close people." Ning Ningxin was extremely worried, and then she knelt down on the ground.

The white-haired old man looked at Ning Ningxin, stroked her head lightly, and sighed: "Hey, Xin'er, it's been ten years, I've been looking forward to it every day, and I've been waiting every day. If you don't come back, Grandpa may not be able to wait for you." You." The old man, who was still annoyed just now, seemed to be a little older when he said these words, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Condensed heart stared at the white-haired old man, tears couldn't stop falling down: "My heart is not filial, I made grandpa worry, my heart is not filial."

"Okay, okay, get up quickly, we are already married, why are we still crying like we were when we were young?"

After all, blood is thicker than water. Seeing the grandparents and grandchildren reunited after a long absence, Shangguan Jinghong spoiled the warm atmosphere inappropriately: "Ah, Ning Xin, your grandpa recognized you. It seems that we didn't go to the wrong door." ah."

Ning Ningxin has never shown such a weak side in front of people for ten years, and when she heard Shangguan Jinghong's ridicule, she gave him a look: "How dare you talk nonsense in front of my grandpa."

Now the white-haired old man began to look carefully at Shangguan Jinghong. Although he didn't say that he had beautiful features, he could be regarded as having good facial features, which barely matched my heart: "What a boy, he dares to speak freely in front of the old man. If he didn't look In terms of heart, I will definitely teach you a lesson today."

Shangguan Jinghong knew that he couldn't put on airs at this time, so he stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Shangguan Jinghong, a younger student, pays homage to Senior Leng, made a fool of himself, and forgot to atone for his sins."

"Since you are married to Xin'er, let's call Xin'er Grandpa after Xin'er, I think Xin'er has told you too, old man Leng Lingfeng, the head of the Leng family." Leng Lingfeng said slowly after helping, Shangguan Jinghong was silent Listen, I wonder where did Ning Ningxin mention you? I only just found out that she is from the Leng family, and it is even the first time I have heard of the Leng family, but I still have to be decent on the surface, pretending to be overjoyed, and salute again : "Thank you, grandpa, for your success. The boy must take good care of Ning Xin and prevent her from being wronged."

Leng Lingfeng nodded and smiled: "That's good, drunkard, go tell the kitchen to make more dishes that you like to eat tonight, we need to have a good chat. Oh yes, Jinghong, although the drunkard is a housekeeper, But you have followed me through life and death for many years, so you must not be disrespectful to him." After hearing this, Shangguan immediately turned around and saluted the drunkard: "Grandpa drunkard, just now I ignored grandpa drunkard, I apologize to grandpa drunkard, please forgive my ignorance."

The drunkard waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, you are the son-in-law of the Leng family, the old drunkard is just a servant, and the master of the family only became the housekeeper because of the respect of the master, how dare you be such a great gift to the son-in-law."

Leng Lingfeng was about to speak, Shangguan Jinghong's eyes were sharp and his mouth was quick: "Grandpa, the old man trusts the alcoholic grandpa, and letting you be the housekeeper is equivalent to entrusting this huge manor to you. How can I not be polite."

Leng Lingfeng looked at Shangguan Jinghong, and thought that this kid was reasonable and restrained, and now he looked more and more pleasing to the eye.

The drunkard said he didn't even dare to say it, but in his heart he decided that Shangguan Jinghong was an uncle, and immediately bowed to Leng Lingfeng and said, "Patriarch, I'll go prepare the meals first." Seeing Leng Lingfeng nodding, he immediately turned around and left up.

Leng Lingfeng was about to lead Shangguan Jinghong and Ning Ningxin into the inner hall to speak, when a rough voice came, and Shangguan Jinghong once had the illusion that this guy seemed to be laughing at the brash man to the sky: "Uncle, listen to Xin'er come back yes, where is it?"

Ning Ning looked at the person coming, and quietly said to Shangguan Jinghong: "This is my third uncle, Leng Mu." Then he bowed to Leng Mu: "Third uncle, I'm back."

Shangguan Jinghong followed suit and saluted: "Boy, Shangguan Jinghong, I met my third uncle."

Leng Mu didn't even look at Shangguan Jinghong: "Xin'er, you've been living abroad for more than ten years, you've had a hard time, it's better to go home, hahaha, your cousin misses you every day."

Leng Lingfeng has always disliked Leng Mu, now seeing him put Shangguan Jinghong aside, with a displeased face, he said: "Leng Mu, this is Xin'er's husband, he came back with Xin'er this time."

Leng Mu just glanced at Shangguan Jinghong, and couldn't hide a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Oh, so it's the new uncle, sorry."

Shangguan Jinghong is not the kind of person who puts a hot face on someone's cold ass, seeing Leng Mu's indifferent attitude, he is also unhappy: "Don't dare." After saying no twice, he stood aside with his hands behind his back, No sound.

Leng Mu's expression turned cold immediately: "What an arrogant boy, don't you know how to respect your elders?"

Shangguan Jinghong smiled slightly: "Where is it?"

Leng Mu suddenly became angry, and was about to speak again, when Leng Lingfeng suddenly interrupted him: "Okay, Leng Mu, you go tell the others, just say that Xin'er is back, and we will have dinner together tonight."

Leng Mu took a hard look at Shangguan Jinghong, and left with his hands, Shangguan Jinghong shrugged indifferently.

After a while Ning Ningxin's uncles, seven aunts and eight aunts all flocked to Ning Ningxin, Shangguan Jinghong followed Ning Ningxin to salute frequently, exhausted enough, and said in his heart that I was asking for trouble, I have nothing to do pretending to be Ning Ningxin's husband, but After asking in this circle, I probably know that the aristocratic family is the same as the ordinary landlord's family. They are fighting openly and secretly, with eccentricities. They are looking for a place to rest.

"Jinghong, this is the third grandpa, this is my uncle, they have loved me since childhood." Ning Ningxin is completely different from that in the Burial Heart Tomb at this moment, it seems that the cold Ning Xin has disappeared.The cold-hearted third grandfather is named Leng Lingkong, and the uncle is named Leng Han.

Shangguan Jinghong hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the third grandfather, I have seen the uncle."

Leng Lingkong just nodded with a smile, his face was extremely kind, Leng Han said to Shangguan Jinghong quite seriously: "Jinghong, although you and Xin'er are married, but Xin'er is my niece, what if she sues me? I'm going to make the decision for her."

Shangguan Jinghong had already seen the uncle's doting on Ning Ningxin, and laughed: "Uncle doesn't know something, I want to bully her, but I can't beat her."

Leng Han was taken aback when he heard this, and then laughed out loud, which made Ning Ningxin at the side blush.

Halfway through the banquet, Leng Mu suddenly stood up and said: "Uncle, Third Uncle, all of my Leng family are martial arts practitioners, and Xin'er's martial arts is the best among his peers. I think the new uncle must be good at martial arts, otherwise he will not It will win the favor of our heart, but seeing is believing, why not let the new uncle show his hands, so we can trust him with our heart."

Leng Han frowned: "Third brother, Jinghong is just here, let's forget it."

But Leng Mu didn't want to let Shangguan Jinghong go: "Brother, it's not right to say that, we don't want Xin'er to suffer any grievances, we can rest assured after seeing Jinghong's martial arts."

Leng Han was about to say something, but was stopped by Leng Lingkong, who looked at him puzzled and asked, "Third Uncle, why stop me?"

Leng Lingkong pointed to Leng Lingfeng: "Han'er, look at your uncle, Jinghong is his grandson-in-law, and he is not in a hurry, which means that this kid is definitely not weak in martial arts, just look at it." Leng Lingfeng heard this Fusu smiled.

Shangguan Jinghong had no choice but to stand up: "Since this is the case, I will show my shame."

"Slow down." Leng Mu obviously didn't want to be so simple: "Xing'er, come here, Jinghong, this is my eldest son Leng Xing's martial arts is not high among his peers, I see you two have a competition."

Shangguan Jinghong frowned: "This...isn't very good."

Leng Mu laughed evilly: "Don't worry, Xing'er will finish the order."

Shangguan Jinghong didn't stretch his brows, and said a little at a loss: "It's not this, I mean if I hurt my second uncle, wouldn't it be..."

Leng Mu's face turned cold: "Hehe, that would be the best." He added something in his heart, without shame.

Shangguan Jinghong pretended to be troubled, and sighed: "Hey! Anyway, I can only show mercy, second uncle, come on, I won't fight back."

Leng Xing suddenly became angry, and shouted: "Ignorance, arrogance." He was not polite, a punch came, Shangguan Jinghong did not dodge it, seeing the power of the punch, everyone couldn't bear to look directly, never thought of Leng Xing punching On Shangguan Jinghong's body, the picture that everyone imagined did not appear. Shangguan Jinghong looked at Leng Xing's fist in a daze: "Second uncle, are you making me intentionally, or are you tickling me?"

Leng Xing's complexion darkened, he wanted to die, don't blame me, followed by a chill in his palm, Shangguan Jinghong didn't care at first, but when the palm wind approached, he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and suddenly thought of the unique skill "Ao" that Ning Ningxin said Cold sixteen tactics", I don't know the depth, dare not carry it hard, secretly use Taiji Xuantian Kungfu, the cold air penetrates through the body, Leng Han sees Leng Xing so fierce, actually used the sixteen tactics of Aohan, his complexion changed , staring at Shangguan Jinghong closely, fearing that he might make a mistake for a while so that he could rescue him, never thought that the cold air would enter Shangguan Jinghong's body, walk around the broken meridian, and be sucked into the Tai Chi phantom at the dantian , Shangguan Jinghong felt that he didn't have any discomfort, and grinned: "I have some strength, so comfortable, second uncle, come again."

Leng Han saw that Shangguan had nothing to do, and heaved a long sigh of relief, but this scene surprised Leng Lingfeng and Leng Lingkong. "Six Tactics" is extremely domineering, relying on Leng Xing's internal strength to use this skill, even Leng Han dare not be so arrogant in the face of this cold air, now it seems that Shangguan Jinghong not only forcibly endured this cold air, it seems to be transformed into himself Inside the body, that's unheard of.

Leng Mu was ignorant at all, and he couldn't tell the depth of Shangguan Jinghong's kung fu. Seeing his son's two moves failed, he secretly gave Leng Xing a look. Keep your hands back, and immediately use all your strength to slap it. Although Shangguan Jinghong looked down on Leng Xing's skill, he didn't dare to push it too far. With both hands and the air, he drew a Tai Chi circle. When the palm was close to him, Shangguan Jinghong The Tai Chi phantom in front of him suddenly shone brightly and completely bounced back the power of his palm, Leng Xing might as well be blown upside down by the shock.
