Fu Shifeng

Chapter 227: Settling in Peace
In fact, when Ah Fu was thinking about how to control Wulingzhuang, his original intention was to let Jianghuai Wulin carve up Wulingzhuang and the Huzhou Guan family, while he took advantage of the chaos to intervene and profit from it.

As for how many people in Wulingzhuang will die in this process, Afu doesn't really care.

Cheng Sanwu's killing of the iron-backed dragon was just a show of force, so that all parties must rely on him to achieve success.But Chang Qing stepped forward and the conflict that was supposed to break out was contained, which was an unexpected change.

Afu is not the kind of person who is petty, so she won't blame Changqing for this matter.And based on her observation of Wulingzhuang, she came up with a better way, that is, let Changqing marry Wulingzhuang.

In fact, Mrs. He also favored Changqing over Qi Cheng Sanwu. This was not entirely due to the family background of the son of Prime Minister Lu, but rather a recognition of his character and ability.Even if Changqing is from a mediocre background, Mrs. He is still willing to help.

Although Changqing is the son of Prime Minister Lu, Afu knows that their father and son are not harmonious.With Chang Qing's proud and aloof temperament, when it comes to important matters in life, she would rather be alone than succumb to the arrangements of Prime Minister Lu.

At the same time, in Afu's eyes, Changqing is not the kind of person who completely cuts off love. It's just that he has never met the right person, so his words and deeds are inevitably young and shy.

Thinking that you and Cheng Sanwu actually have to worry about life events for this little baby, why are you becoming more and more like secular parents?

Changqing was left speechless by Afu's call, and just stood there shaking with anger.Seeing his appearance, Afu deliberately teased: "Marriage matters are nothing more than the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Prime Minister Lu can ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send someone to take the message. I believe he will not refuse. Or... you have already Do you have a sweetheart?"

"No, no." A figure appeared in Chang Qing's heart, his eyes wandered, and he instinctively avoided the question.

Afu and Cheng Sanwu couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this. Changqing looked like he really had a sweetheart.

Mrs. He has a clear mind, what can't she understand?But she didn't want to force it too much, so she said:
"Mr. Changqing helped me resolve a catastrophic situation in Wulingzhuang, and we should repay you. If Mr. Changqing is not busy with worldly affairs, why not stay in Wulingzhuang temporarily?"

"Isn't this inconvenient?" Changqing hesitated: "There are many female relatives in your village, so if I come in and out as a man, I will inevitably offend you."

"Where did the sour scholar come from?" Hu Meier cursed in a low voice.

Afu covered her mouth and whispered: "I already told him that he is a fake Taoist priest."

Chang Qing clearly heard it clearly, but he didn't know how to refute it. His eloquent words in the past had now become clumsy and dull, and his mind was very confused.

Mrs. He said: "There is a plum blossom temple in the mountains near Wulingzhuang. It was built by the ancients to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. It has been idle for a long time. If Mr. Changqing doesn't find it despicable, he might be able to live here temporarily."

Changqing is not particular about where he lives. Compared to the bustling city, he prefers the quietness of the mountains and forests, and interacting with dignitaries makes him feel bored.

Looking up at Cheng Sanwu and Afu, he was like a child who couldn't make up his mind, asking his parents for help with his eyes.

"Why don't you quickly thank Mrs. He?" Cheng Sanwu tried his best to hold back his smile and pretend to be dignified.

Changqing felt uneasy and could only say: "Then... I will disturb your village."

Mrs. He immediately said to Liu Niang: "Take someone to the Plum Blossom Temple to take care of it and clean it. Don't neglect it."

Liu Niang was very happy and nodded in agreement. Her face couldn't hide the joy. When she turned to leave, she couldn't help but take a peek at Changqing, her heart pounding wildly.

After the banquet, Changqing hurriedly hid in the guest house.When Cheng Sanwu was alone with Afu, he asked, "Are we pushing too hard?"

"His stubborn head, if he doesn't force it a bit, he may really have to practice it for the rest of his life." Afu said with a smile, "I'm doing this for his own good. If I don't experience the harmony of yin and yang, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice this path for the rest of my life." Xiu doesn’t understand.”

"That makes sense." Cheng Sanwu nodded.

"What happened to his sweetheart?" Afu asked, "Could it be some flower essence from Guoseyuan?"

"Probably not? Although those flower spirits really like him." Cheng Sanwu touched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly his face changed slightly and muttered: "Hiss... could it be her? Changqing actually likes this? I didn’t see it…”

"Who are you talking about?" Afu was confused.

Cheng Sanwu looked a little confused: "I just made a random guess, and I don't know if I can tell you, but Changqing didn't seem to have mentioned it to me..."

Afubi turned her eyes and asked: "Is it related to his swordsmanship?"

"You actually know?" Cheng Sanwu was surprised.

"When I was in Huashan, I knew that Changqing was secretly learning swordsmanship from an expert without revealing anything." Afu said, "I just didn't guess that person was actually a woman."

Cheng Sanwu nodded, and Afu was also surprised when he learned about this: "No wonder the little baby looked panicked. This kind of thing must be very unethical for him. He can only hide it in his heart and dare not talk to anyone." People explain.”

"I didn't expect that people like Chang Qing would be trapped by love." Cheng Sanwu stood with his arms folded and sighed.

"Fake Taoist priest, fake prude." Afu sneered disdainfully: "So what if the master is a woman? Isn't this just right?"

"Ah?" Cheng Sanwu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"It is a good deed to carry the truth." Afu immediately read a paragraph: "Jurchen taught books and taught Dharma, and he and his male disciples participated in the Huang Chi event. Tao, this is not a rare thing in the Taoist sects of the Southern Dynasty. Looking at the scenery to enjoy together, breathing the fragrance and wind, leaning forward to the four movements, and carrying the cross skirt, these are all mental formulas."

Cheng Sanwu half-understood: "Can you still play like this?"

"What does it mean to play? This is a Taoist Jurchen looking for a Taoist companion who can help him achieve immortality and transform people into immortals. This is not a noble lady raising a handsome man to be her pet." Afu stretched out her hand to grab the lapel of Cheng Sanwu's clothes and pulled him closer. , the corner of his mouth curled up: "Isn't that what you and I are like? Don't forget, I taught you "Liuhe Yuanzhang". If you think about it carefully, I am also your master."

Cheng Sanwu laughed when he heard this, and then bowed to Affu repeatedly: "Disciple, pay homage to master!"

"Don't do this!" Afu was so angry that she laughed out loud, and then asked: "Why did you think of letting Changqing be the son-in-law of Wulingzhuang? Mrs. He and I didn't discuss it with you in advance."

"Is it really possible for me to come?" Cheng Sanwu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Fu Shifeng and I still have a fierce battle to fight, how can we have an happy life? Mrs. He also doesn't trust Wulingzhuang to someone like me. , those words you just said at the banquet were not meant for me at all, but to test Changqing."

"I think you regard Changqing as your own child?" Afu asked.

"Isn't it the same for you?" Cheng Sanwu hugged Afu.

The two of them were hanging out in the room for a while, and Cheng Sanwu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the finger force you exerted on Zhang Jida was resolved by me." "Oh? It seems that you have made great progress, maybe you are better than the innate The realm is not far away." Afu thought for a moment: "Zhang Jida and his group are extremely greedy, and under such circumstances, they actually tried to carve up the Guan family in Huzhou."

"They think they can get rich by following me." Cheng Sanwu couldn't help but laugh.

"Idiot." Afu doesn't have a good look on this kind of person.

"Do you want me to kill them?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"There's no rush." ​​Afu looked slightly cold: "Some people in the Jianghuai Wulin have secretly colluded with the rebels. When things get bigger and involve all parties, there will naturally be better reasons to kill them on a large scale."

"Then you can naturally merge the industries of these martial arts sects." Cheng Sanwu asked: "Do you have enough manpower under your command?"

"It's definitely not possible to rely solely on the hanging people, so I will cooperate with Mrs. He." Afu said with a smile: "Although this old lady is polite on the surface, she is a very scheming and powerful person."

Cheng Sanwu was a little worried when he heard this: "If Changqing becomes her son-in-law, will he be bullied?"

When Afu heard this, she buried her face in Cheng Sanwu's shoulder and laughed: "Are you marrying Changqing as your daughter? Are you worried that he will be bullied?"

"I have seen many son-in-laws working for wealthy businessmen in the Western Regions. They can't even hold their heads high in front of women, and they are almost like slaves." Cheng Sanwu said vividly.

"So you want me to support him." Afu muttered, "The only question now is whether Prime Minister Lu is willing to agree."

"I will agree." Cheng Sanwu said without hesitation.

"Are you so sure?" Afu thought for a moment: "The relationship between Prime Minister Lu and Chang Qing is too estranged. Even if the maid gave birth to a son, with Chang Qing's current achievements, Prime Minister Lu should entrust him with important responsibilities. As a result Chang Qing only does some idle errands, almost deliberately avoiding him. It is said that Prime Minister Lu was born as a border town official, and his appointment is based on talent, so there is no reason to look down on Chang Qing like this."

Cheng Sanwu's face darkened: "Maybe it's because of guilt?"

"Guilty? You mean Prime Minister Lu?" Afu shook her head: "Impossible. Prime Minister Lu is famous for being harsh and mean, and he never shows mercy when dealing with political opponents. Would he feel guilty about Chang Qing?"

"I'm going to write a letter to Lao Su and ask him to talk to Xiang Lu about this matter." Cheng Sanwu said.

After thinking about it for a while, Afu thought that it was Su Wangting who assisted Prime Minister Lu to settle Chang Qing's mother and son. It might be feasible for him to inform him, and then said: "Then I need to write another letter to inform Master Daguan."

"I guess these elders should be happy to see Changqing get married and start a family." Cheng Sanwu sighed: "In the end, it still depends on what Changqing plans to do? I'm worried that he won't be willing."

Afu is not worried about this: "In the final analysis, Changqing is just a child. He has never experienced many things, so he is just pretending to be mature. If he is really responsible, he should take a walk in the gentle land, otherwise he will not even have anything to protect himself. I can’t even figure it out.”

……

"Zhang Louzhu, is this your clever plan?"

In a rural farmhouse, Zhang Jida faced several water village masters with a gloomy expression. The body of Captain Shen was placed on the ground and covered with white cloth. Zhang Jida even felt that he died too easily and left a lot of trouble for himself.

"It's obvious that you, Captain Shen, acted impulsively, but you still blame me?" Zhang Jida sat leaning on his sword, Yuan Tingyue stood up. Although he was alone in front of the crowd, he was not timid at all: "The situation had changed at that time. We should have started again. We discussed countermeasures, but Captain Shen decided to attack in public, and the rest of us had no time to cooperate!"

"But you watched Lord Shen being killed, and yet you fled Wulingzhuang without even being held accountable!" A sworn brother of Lord Shen shouted sternly, without giving in.

"You don't understand at all!" Zhang Jida drew his sword angrily and swung it like lightning. The sword energy passed by everyone's noses, even faster than the opponent's head retreating. Although it did not hurt the slightest, it made people feel that it was sharp. It was glaring, and the skin on my cheek hurt like a knife.

The long sword slipped into its sheath smoothly, and Zhang Jida said: "Look, you can't even catch my sword. At that time, the flying sword thrown by the opponent, all of you stood side by side, and you could only end up dead in the wilderness." End!"

Although the people on the opposite side are not angry, those who have traveled around the world and have advanced martial arts skills have more confidence, and their words carry more weight.If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. Even if you break the rules, it won't work.

Zhang Jida hated Captain Shen so much that he really didn't understand what this guy was so anxious about. The situation that was originally a sure chance of victory was messed up by him and became difficult to save.

"So you are here, making it easier for me to find you." Cheng Sanwu's voice came from outside.

Zhang Jida was shocked when he heard this and hurried out, only to see Cheng Sanwu followed by several followers, standing in the small courtyard with unhappy expressions.

"I pay my respects to Lord Zhaoyang." Zhang Jida hurriedly bowed and bowed, not daring to neglect the etiquette.

"Don't salute, it will shorten my life." Cheng Sanwu sneered: "I thought you would climb to other high branches and not take me seriously."

Zhang Jida suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking of the opponent's terrifying ability to slay a dragon with his bare hands, it was not too difficult to crush him to death.

"The villain is at fault! Please spare your life, Mr. Zhaoyang!" Zhang Jida completely abandoned his dignity and prostrated on the ground.

"Wrong? Where did you go wrong?" Cheng Sanwu pretended to be superior.

Zhang Jida quickly replied: "We made wanton trouble in Wulingzhuang without the permission of Lord Zhaoyang, and ended up ruining Lord Zhaoyang's arrangements."

"Huh, so you know." Cheng Sanwu paced back and forth: "Do you, Zhang Jida, think that the restriction on your body has been lifted and I am unconscious again, and you can be free from now on?"

"No! I would never dare to have such an idea!" Zhang Jida climbed a few steps and was even humbler than a slave. He came closer and said, "It's all that idiot Captain Shen who insists on seizing the Guan family in Huzhou." Industry. Seeing that Wulingzhuang was alone and weak, he wanted to take advantage of the situation and take action."

"So greedy." Cheng Sanwu cursed. He looked up and saw several people standing in front of the farmhouse. They all looked unhappy, so he asked, "Who are they? They don't look like you are from Tingyulou."

"They..." Zhang Jida finally found someone to bear his wrath: "They are the men of Captain Shen, and they are all heads of water villages in the Jiangnan area!"

Cheng Sanwu snorted coldly and ordered Qin Wangshu, Zhang Fan and others behind him: "Break the legs of these guys!"

Qin Wangshu, Zhang Fan and others did not hesitate, and immediately flew away. Following a muffled sound of fists and feet, after a while, only a group of unlucky ones who fell to the ground and wailed were left.
