No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 248
Inside the Manjusri Bodhisattva Hall.

Li Xian and Wei Mei are expressing their gratitude to Wei Shaoxuan.

Wei Shaoxuan and a few men stood in the hall, smiling and greeting.

There was no figure of a lame steward and a Persian businessman behind him. There were many swords and weapons scattered on the floor of the hall, as if they had just experienced a fight.

The guards and servants guarding Li Xian's family sat scattered on the ground, bandaging the wounds on their arms, but luckily there was no dead body lying on the ground.

At this moment, everyone found Xie Lingjiang's returning figure outside the door.

"Niece Xian, by chance, let me introduce you."

Li Xian enthusiastically recommended:
"This is Liulang of the Wei family that I mentioned to you before, named Shaoxuan, he is the sixth son of his cousin, who replaced his cousin, and came to Longcheng to give Bao'er a birthday gift. It is rare that his cousin is thousands of miles away. You still care so much about your cousin and niece."

Li Xian sighed, Wei Mei took over the conversation and explained to Xie Lingjiang:

"There were thieves breaking in just now. Fortunately, Wei Liulang arrived in time and drove away the thieves together with a few heroes. Wei Liulang is both civil and military. He is really talented, and he has the demeanor of King Wei in the past."

Receiving Wei Mei's quiet gaze, Xie Lingjiang remained calm, stepped across the threshold, walked into the hall, and stood beside Li Xian, who was slightly reluctant to look at him with a smile.

Faintly blocked in front of Li Xian's family.

Li Bao'er and Li Dalang in the rear also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Wangwei's successor is the nephew of the current empress, and Li Xian is the son of the empress. Although he is a cousin, but in the past, such major events as the abolition of the emperor and the transformation into Zhou, these nephews of the Wei family who can be crowned king must have actively participated, and even promoted it as the mastermind. of.

The so-called blood relationship of the emperor's family is just a layer of affectionate skin to maintain dignity.

In addition, not long ago, Xie Lingjiang told Li Xian's family about Ouyang Rong's conjecture, so everyone is not stupid.

It's just that Wei Shaoxuan is the son of King Wei after all, he came here on behalf of the Wei family, the Li Xian family dare not offend easily.

Wei Shaoxuan didn't care about the cold face and defensive attitude of the Xie girl in front of him, and he still looked familiar and enthusiastic:
"Uncle Biao is being polite. Bao'er is also a princess of the clan. Her majesty gave her a birthday present. How can my father forget it? Speaking of which, it is because of my father's euphemism that His Majesty took the time to give her a gift this time." Reminder.

"Thank you for your cousin's praise, it's just some three-legged cat's kung fu, I learned it from my adoptive father.

"As for why we are here, isn't this the Longcheng county government organizing the people to take refuge? My Wei family is also considered a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When we go down to the local area, we should not indulge in privileges and obey the government. I happen to be resting in the hall next to it. Those bandits are moving."

He paused, with a righteous face, and sighed:
"Hey, even if it's not my cousin's family, if the road is rough, I will draw my sword to help. I can only say that it was fate that we met by chance."

Then Wei Shaoxuan turned his head and greeted Xie Lingjiang.

Xie Lingjiang only nodded and did not speak.

Wei Shaoxuan didn't care either, and turned his head towards the docile lady-like figure behind him, showing some concern:

"Cousin Bao'er, didn't you get hurt just now?"

Li Bao'er bowed her head and said nothing.

She was covered with a light veil, only showing the bright red plum blossom makeup on her forehead, she seemed shy in front of outsiders, embarrassed to speak, and hid behind her elder brother Li Dalang.

The daughter's bowed head and shy gesture made Wei Shaoxuan's smile brighter, and he became more patient with the Li Xian family who were talking in front of them.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly asked: "What is Mr. Wei doing in the scripture copying hall next door? I heard the monks say that the next door is not closed?"

Wei Shaoxuan's smile remained unchanged: "Your Majesty worships Buddhism, and my father is also a devout Buddhist. I thought that before returning to the palace, I would copy a copy of the Donglin Buddhist scriptures for my father. This trip to the south of the Yangtze River is worthwhile. The abbot of the temple, Master Shandao, was moved by his sincerity and reopened the main hall."

"I was moved by Mr. Wei's silver." Xie Lingjiang asked: "Has Mr. Wei finished copying it?"

"Almost." Wei Shaoxuan glanced at the scripture copying hall next door: "It's almost there."

Xie Lingjiang nodded: "It seems that we delayed Mr. Wei to copy the scriptures, or Mr. Wei, please go back."

"Don't worry, I have invited an eminent monk to help me copy the scriptures, and I just happened to come over to spend more time with Uncle Biao."

Wei Shaoxuan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said to Li Bao'er and Li Dalang behind:

"Cousin Li, Cousin Wou'er, are you interested in Buddhism? How about taking you to the next door? My father often said that we young people from the Wei and Wei families should get along more often, and don't lose the love of our parents." Deep affection."

The sixth son of the Wei family smiled and said:

"I am not talented. The Buddhist scriptures I copied today are caused by my sincerity. I have a deep feeling in my heart. I have a hunch that after copying the scriptures and reciting them, there will be Buddha traces."

He put his eyes on the two people behind... No, to be precise, it was the girl with plum makeup who was covered in tulle but couldn't hide her beauty. Wei Shaoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed out:

"Your Majesty worships Buddha today, and he likes auspicious auspiciousness the most. If it happens that the children of the Wei and Li families can bathe together in the Buddhist relics, His Majesty will be happy to take Cousin Bao'er and Cousin Li back to the Luoyang Palace? My father is the king." I like to report auspiciousness to His Majesty the most."

Xie Lingjiang sneered in his heart, back then when Empress Wei usurped Qian and ascended the throne, your father did offer a lot of bullshit auspiciousness and instigation.

"This..." Li Xian hesitated, "Nephew Wei Xian, what does this mean?"

Wei Shaoxuan raised his chin slightly: "Of course it means literally."

Li Dalang in the back was confused, and Li Bao'er looked sideways slightly.

Li Xian and Wei Mei looked at each other with complicated eyes.

Although the Liulang of the Wei family was greeting them warmly throughout the whole process, he couldn't hide his frequent glances at Li Zong'er behind him, especially in front of Li Xian, who was an old father.

Right now, it is obvious that he is replacing Wei Wangfu, implying a promise, or in other words, throwing a bait that is hard to refuse.

If they hadn't met Ouyang Lianghan and Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian and his wife might have agreed directly.

After all, being demoted to the common people, living in panic all day long, and living in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years is already depressing enough. Facing the olive branch thrown by the powerful Wei Palace, he has no choice.

In the past, Li Xian did not expect them to be able to make the queen mother soften her heart and allow her to return to Luojing, but if Bao'er and Dalang could be allowed to return to Beijing, or even return to the palace, they could enjoy the real life of the prince and princess who are the granddaughters of the emperor. Remuneration, of course, is what one could wish for.

Wei Shaoxuan is probably determined to leave the idle family, and there is no choice in the current situation, first the hero saves the beauty, puts down the guard, and then throws the candied date stick, you can make whatever you want.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Ouyang Rong was killed halfway.

Right now, what Ouyang Lianghan said casually when drinking tea in Yilanxuan that day, the thoughts of the empress, the general situation of the court, and the instructions he sent through Xie Lingjiang not long ago, are still ringing in the ears of Li Xian and his wife.

Before Wei Mei could pinch his waist with the hand under his sleeve to remind him, Li Xian, who was always indecisive, shook his head resolutely:

"Nephew Wei Xian's kindness, Uncle, I have accepted it for the dog and the little girl. Now that the Di Gong Gate is flooded, people are panicking outside, fish and dragons are mixed, it's better for them not to go out and run around."

Wei Mei smiled apologetically: "Nephew, forgive me, our family has lived in Longcheng for many years, and we have deep feelings, so we are not used to parting relatives."

Wei Shaoxuan's eyes became a little colder, but the smile on his face remained the same, his eyes slowly passed over Li Xian and his wife, and he said to the back:

"What's Cousin Wrap'er thinking?" He looked at Li Wrap'er, paused, and then asked casually, "Cousin Li, do you want to go and see the prosperity of Chang'an, Luoyang?"

Without waiting for Li Bao'er to answer, Xie Lingjiang said directly:

"My sister who is away from home is not feeling well, so I don't go to see any Buddhist sites. Dalang has a lot of homework and studies, and he has to take care of his parents, so he can't walk that far.

"If Mr. Wei is too busy, you can go to Master Shandao to relieve your boredom."

Immediately issued a deportation order.

Li Xian and his wife also took the opportunity to politely say: "When today's crisis is resolved, I hope that nephew Wei Xian will move to the humble house. At that time, there will be some small gifts, and I will thank my nephew for saving my life today."

"is that so……"

Wei Shaoxuan didn't seem to be angry when he heard the words, showing some regret, but he still didn't move and didn't leave.

"Why doesn't Cousin Bao'er talk?" He asked, "Do you have your own opinion? It doesn't matter if you tell Uncle Cousin."

This kind of rude behavior of directly ignoring the other party's parents and directly talking to the girl in the boudoir made everyone frown.

Li Xian shook his head and was about to speak, but a clear and crisp voice came from under the thin cheeks of a girl with plum blossom makeup.
"What are the Buddha's traces?" She seemed curious.

The smile on Wei Shaoxuan's face became wider, and he said in his heart, sure enough.

Girls who have just reached adulthood are mostly disobedient to the strict discipline of their father and brother. They have a rebellious personality and love new things. What's more, she still knows that she is a princess of the clan. How can she always stay in such a small remote county? .

"Cousin Bao'er wants to read it? Don't worry, a copy of the Buddhist scriptures will be delivered later."

Holding the Xuanzhi Pearl in Wei Shao's hand, he spoke leisurely, with a pointed tone:
"Let's wait here for a while. When the time comes, let Uncle Li and Aunt Wei take a look at the mythical 'Buddha Relics' to see if it's exciting. At that time, it's not too late to make a decision with Sister Bao'er."

Wei Shaoxuan made a fool of himself.

Li Bao'er exchanged glances with Li Xian and the others.

Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips, ignored the rascal Wei Shaoxuan, turned around and asked Li Xian and the others directly if they had received any news about Ouyang Rong in Donglin Temple.

When she received a negative answer, she looked disappointed, looked sideways at the door frequently, and clenched her fists under her sleeves, burning with anxiety.

Xie Lingjiang wanted to leave, but she was worried about the safety of Li Xian's family, because the elder brother had told her in every possible way before that the Wei family was very dangerous.

It would be great if the missing Uncle Chen was here, and he could take her place. Xie Lingjiang held a jade ring in his sleeves tightly, poured spiritual energy again, and tried to communicate.

Wei Shaoxuan, who was waiting for the sword formula with a smile, had already begun to look forward to it. After summoning the tripod sword, Li Baoer, Xie Lingjiang and others were stunned, blushed in shock, and their attitudes changed 180 degrees. This scene must have been very exciting.

Wei Shaoxuan frowned suddenly, reached into his sleeve, and took out a hot jade ring full of cracks.

He glanced down, shook his head, and ignored it.

There have been such strange fevers a few times before, and his adoptive father told him not to infuse spiritual energy to respond, but don't throw it around, and when it's time to deal with the tripod sword, bring it back to the palace and deal with it in a low-key manner.

Wei Shaoxuan raised his head again, but in an instant, he met Xie Lingjiang's sharp eyes that suddenly turned his head.

Xie Lingjiang held a jade ring in his hand.

Wei Shaoxuan also holds a jade ring in his hand.

In the hall, the atmosphere was strangely silent for a while.

Wei Shaoxuan retracted his hands quietly into his sleeves.

"Wei Shaoxuan! Why is Master Chen's jade ring here with you?"

Xie Ling, Jiang Liu's eyes were upside down, pointing directly at his sleeve, his nose fluttered and said:

"What did you do to Uncle Chen?"

Wei Shaoxuan's expression was stiff.

Li Xian's family were all stunned, their eyes turned to surprise again, and they all looked at Wei Shaoxuan.

"This... a misunderstanding..." Facing the questioning and staring at him, Wei Shaoxuan was embarrassed, and he couldn't get off the stage.

Without saying a word, Xie Lingjiang stretched out his hand to grab Wei Shaoxuan in a flash.

But in the next moment, a roof of the hall shattered.

A lame steward jumped in front of Wei Shaoxuan.

He and Xie Lingjiang hurriedly exchanged a move, and each retreated.

Xie Lingjiang took half a step back, and Liu Fu took a step back.

"Liu Fu? You are also a Qi trainer!"

Xie Lingjiang took a closer look, her pretty face was startled and angry:
"Wei Shaoxuan, the Liu family is indeed backed by your Wei family. No wonder the Liu family dared to harm the Su family. Senior brother guessed right, you were also responsible for today's two waves of thieves, right? Wei Shaoxuan, you are so thick-skinned!"

His face was torn.

Wei Shaoxuan's complexion darkened, this daughter of the Xie family has ruined his good deeds.

At the back door of the main hall, Boss Li led a group of black-clothed swordsmen to pour in.

"Come on!"

Seeing that there were many people on the other side, Xie Lingjiang left a word, drew his sword and stood in front of him.

Without hesitation, Li Xian's family turned around and escaped from the hall under the escort of the guards.

"Wait... stop, don't leave!" Wei Shaoxuan yelled anxiously.

Li Xian's family ran faster, Wei Shaoxuan's face was cloudy.

In the next moment, Wei Shaoxuan pushed away the subordinates who were guarding his safety, pulled out a waist knife, and chased out of the hall with a heavy face.

Xie Ling Jiang Shan stepped forward to block him, but was stopped by Liu Fu.

After just meeting for the first time to try to accept the move, both of them knew each other's ways.

Xie Lingjiang frowned, this lame steward who hid so deeply was actually a seventh-rank Qi trainer, but he was more like a gangster.

Liu Fu also frowned, this daughter of the Xie family is more powerful than he imagined, mainly because she is too talented, she improved too fast during Longcheng, and she is an orthodox Qi trainer of the Confucian school, who has trained more than his small school Decades of miscellaneous ways are more pure.

In the hall, the two fought.

After a while, Liu Fu fell into a disadvantage and was forced to retreat by a sword.

With a "bang", it hit the Buddha statue.

Xie Lingjiang turned around in the air, turned back and flew out of the hall, and quickly caught up with Wei Shaoxuan and others.

Cang——!
A sword groaned.

"Ah!" Wei Shaoxuan covered his arm, the wound on the bloody arm, the flesh turned out, and the bones were clearly visible.

He broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was a solid ninth-rank honed in the battlefield, and he could avoid the critical moment according to his intuition.

"Stop her! Protect Young Master!"

Boss Li was sweating profusely and led the swordsmen in black to step forward for reinforcements.

Swipe—swipe—swipe—!
The woman's sword light is cold.

Like dominoes, a large mass of corpses of swordsmen in black were dumped in the square in front of the hall.

They all covered the laryngeal artery with both hands, vomiting blood and convulsing.

This daughter of the Xie family was too tough, Wei Shaoxuan was startled.

"Let's go, son!"

In the main hall, Liu Fu let out a roar, and rushed out with great momentum. With the cooperation of a group of black-clothed swordsmen, he desperately entangled Xie Lingjiang.

The latter had no choice but to turn his head and concentrate on taking the move.

Wei Shaoxuan covered his wound and staggered away with several people.

However, Xie Lingjiang's "one-stop counting" also bought a lot of time and made Li Xian's family flee far away.

But Xie Lingjiang didn't stop him, Wei Shaoxuan and others let go of their hands and feet, and the speed was extremely fast.

The loyal guards beside Li Xian stayed behind one after another.

But Wei Shaoxuan cut them down one by one.

Wei Shaoxuan squatted down, wiped the blood on the knife with the clothes of the bodyguard's body, turned his head, and confirmed that Xie Lingjiang was dragged by Liu Fu and other large troops at the Wenshu Bodhisattva Hall, and would not be able to get there for a while.

"I like to run, so play around."

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth like playing with a white rabbit, and he continued to chase...

Li Xian's family lost their way unknowingly, and after a while, they broke into a yard full of disabled people, old and young.

"Where is this place?" Wei Mei's fourth advisor, Li Xian anxiously turned around and grabbed Fa's wife's arm: "There is still a way ahead, run! Da Lang, take care of my little sister!"

Li Zou'er was the weakest, running behind, and suddenly stopped.

"My sister can't rest, let's go!" Li Dalang pulled her.

Li Zong'er gasped and shook his head, and pointed at the slender figure covered in blood and slumped on the ground in front of a certain well in front of him:

"Look, Ou... Ouyang Lianghan!"

When Li Xian and the others heard the words and looked back, they were all taken aback.
