When the sword comes out of Emei, I will be the front

Chapter 75: How many times of spring, sword and smoke

Yin Liheng and Ji Dabao never reached an agreement after all.

After settling the matter with the Golden Whip Sect, Ji Dabao took everyone back to his newly settled mansion.

Mrs. Ji had been waiting for a long time. After hearing the movement, she hurriedly came out to respond. Unexpectedly, she saw Ji Xiaorong at a glance. This joy was really extraordinary. The mother and daughter immediately hugged each other and cried together. The deep feeling of motherly love and pity for her son was evident. Several fellow apprentices were so moved that their eyes turned red.

Ji Dabao ordered his servants to prepare a banquet. While waiting, Yin Liheng took the opportunity to talk about the Golden Whip Sect's offer of [-] yuan to Wudang every year and refused to accept it.

Ji Dabao presented the facts and reasoned, and Yin Liheng tried to talk about affection, but in the end, they never reached an agreement.

Ji Dabao smiled and said: "Not to mention anything else, I'm just talking about my son-in-law's sect. As my father-in-law, I will give you some money for your expenses. What's wrong? If you say it again, I won't marry my daughter to you."

Yin Liheng's handsome face suddenly felt like a bitter gourd, but he no longer dared to say no.

Ji's mother had sharp ears. She walked out quickly from a house away and said, "What are you talking about, son-in-law?"

Ye Guhong stood up, smiled and mentioned Yin Liheng's intention to propose marriage, and then made some insinuations, saying a few words about Yin and Ji's relationship over the years. Ji's mother was immediately overjoyed and forgot about her daughter. Sitting next to Yin Liheng, all kinds of weird questions came one after another, making Yin Liheng sweat on his forehead.

Mo Shenggu was amazed and left a deep shadow on such a creature as his mother-in-law.

That night, Ji Dabao drank until he was very drunk, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

He cried when he talked about his brothers and disciples who died in the war.

He smiled when he talked about the softness of the Shenying Cult. As word spread, the prestige of the Golden Whip Sect increased greatly.

He cried when he mentioned that he had not seen his daughter for many years.

He laughed when he said that his daughter, whom he had not seen for many years, brought back a man of his dreams.

Finally, drunkenly, he took Yin Liheng's hand and said over and over again: "Xian son-in-law, don't see how timid my father-in-law is today. When I start that Oriental business, in a few years, it will be a different world. Golden Whip As your family grows stronger, your face will certainly be more glorious. Do you believe it? If you believe it, you will drink this wine!"

"Hey, don't you believe it? When did you drink it? I didn't see it. If you believe me, you drank this wine..."

After going back and forth like this several times, Yin Liu was very drunk.

Mrs. Ji glanced at her husband happily, held a bowl of hangover soup with a smile, sat down next to her, and asked in a low voice: "Liheng, my aunt wants to ask you, do you really like our Xiao Rong... Really? She You don’t know how to do any housework... Ouch, ouch, that’s great, that’s great!”

Mo Qi looked in awe again and felt that women were more troublesome than monkeys. He shook his head and sighed while getting drunk.

Under the guidance of Ji's mother, Yin Liu rambled on drunkenly. Ji Xiaorong listened to her, her emotions were burning, she drank to cover up her shame, and she didn't realize she was drunk.

Su Qingmeng and Li Caixia were both happy and envious when they saw their junior sister meet her husband. They drank one glass at a time and got drunk gradually.

Wei Jinyi drank a few drinks and felt hot, so he pulled open his collar, revealing a golden necklace on his white and tender neck. Jin Mingjun saw it and raised the wine jar to look for her to split the wine. They were both very drunk.

Only Ye Guhong, under the guise of youth, hid in Tibet and refused to drink.

It's not that he doesn't want to be wild with his brothers and sisters, he's just worried about the Condor Cult turning their backs and attacking them.

After the servants and maids helped everyone go to rest, Ye Guhong jumped onto the roof, sat cross-legged with his sword in hand, looked up at the stars, and stayed up all night.

When Ji Dabao woke up the next morning, he saw Ye Guhong jumping from the roof and yawning back to his room from the window. He was slightly startled, but then his thoughts changed and he guessed the clue. He couldn't help but nod and smile.

Mrs. Ji woke up drunk and saw her husband looking out the window and laughing. She jumped out of bed and rushed to the window to see which maid was passing by. Seeing no one, she turned around to torture her husband. Ji Dabao smiled and said with slightly red eyes. Ye Guhong's night vigil began.

After saying that, he sighed in a low voice: "What a good life our daughter has! A husband is one of the Six Heroes of the Yin Dynasty in Wudang. He is benevolent, righteous and loyal, and he will definitely live up to her in this life. A junior brother is a high disciple of the Emei Sect. Although he is young, his actions are... But she is extremely sophisticated, considerate in every aspect, and has a rare emphasis on affection and justice. With these two backers, my daughter won’t have to worry about you or me in this life."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ji was moved. She couldn't help hugging her husband tightly and said, "Since you and I don't have to worry about our daughter, how about doing some other tricks?"

Ji Dabao was shocked, resisting and shouting in a low voice: "I'm still injured... Although it's nothing to do with my ears, my shoulder was stabbed... I just want to lie down and feel good... That's all, that kid named Daniu yesterday I was given a bottle of medicine, please get it for me..."

This is exactly:
  The April wind blows the willows green, and half of the river reflects the red peach blossoms. Hanyang was drunk several times in the spring, and the smoke and waves roared with swords and short canopies.

They stayed in Hanyang for eight or nine days. They calculated that Song Daxia's birthday was not far away, so they did not dare to stay long. They said goodbye to Ji Xiaorong's parents, rented a new boat, and sailed upstream from the Han River.

It took six or seven days along the way, passing through Hanchuan, Anlufu, Yicheng, and finally to Xiangyang.

Ye Guhong heard about Xiangyang and hurriedly ordered the boatman to dock. Mo Qiqi said: "Brother, do you want to go ashore to play?"

Ye Guhong shook his head and said seriously: "The parents, siblings and brothers of the founder of our sect fought against the Meng Yuan here and died for the country. How can I, a disciple of Emei, pass by here without paying homage to them?"

Mo Qi slapped his forehead and said ashamedly: "I made a mistake! The seniors are so heroic and loyal, I and the younger generation should all worship them!"

Yin Liu smiled and said: "Xiangyang is only more than [-] miles away from Wudang Mountain. We can get there in time. Since we want to pay homage to our martial arts predecessors, if we come and leave in a hurry, we will not show sincerity, so we might as well just stop here. On the first day, everyone takes a bath and changes clothes, and on the second day, we pay homage to our seniors to show respect."

Su Qingmeng said: "That's good. I've been exhausted from taking the boat these days. Since I have time, I might as well spend a day or two repairing it."

So everyone went ashore, found a clean inn, and opened a few upper rooms. They originally wanted to ask the innkeeper to boil water for bathing, but seeing that it was still early, they met for a walk on the street.

At this time, it has been more than seventy years since the city of Xiangyang was destroyed. The streets are lined with houses and densely populated. The smoke and smoke of the war have long since disappeared. Only the city walls are mottled, as if they are silently recounting the thrilling battles in the past. .

Everyone was sighing to themselves when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "We've caught a strange snake, we've caught a strange snake."

Pedestrians around heard this and rushed to watch. Mo Qi immediately said: "What kind of strange snake? So many people are watching it? Let's all go and see it too!"

Without waiting for everyone's consent, he asked Ye Guhong to take the lead, and Yin Liu and others had no choice but to follow.

After walking forty or fifty steps, I saw a crowd of people surrounding me on three levels, both inside and outside. They all stood on tiptoe in admiration. Mo Qi said, "Give way. Those who have finished watching, let the people behind you also take a look."

As he said that, he used Wudang Rouyun's strength and easily squeezed out a way. Behind him, Yin Liu and Hu Daniu protected the Emei girls and followed them into the tight siege.

In the middle of the crowd, there were two hunters, both of whom looked relatively young, with excited expressions on their faces. The older one shouted with foam at the mouth: "In recent years, these strange snakes have been hurting people frequently, and they have done a lot of harm to our people." , but this snake walks like the wind, who can catch it? Now, by chance, my two brothers caught this snake and brought it into the city specially, firstly to open their eyes to everyone, and secondly, to exchange for some money. , give my brother a wife."

When everyone looked at the snake, they saw that it was about six or seven feet long, about the thickness of a child's wrist, with extremely dense black scales all over its body, faintly glowing with golden light. The snake's head was triangular in shape, with a sarcoma, and the tumor was covered by snake scales. Like a horn, the golden light is particularly bright.

Mo Qi said loudly: "It's weird, it's weird. I have traveled all over the country and never seen any kind of long insect, but I have never seen such a strange snake."

The older hunter looked at Mo Qi with a long sword hanging on his waist and many beauties like flowers and jade around him. He guessed that he was probably quite wealthy, so he quickly said: "Hero, do you want to buy it? This snake is mine. It was caught in the mountains and forests west of the city. It moves very fast and bites people. It will die before it can take a few steps. It is really powerful. If it hadn't happened to get into my snake cage today, I wouldn't have killed it. If you buy such a powerful snake, cook it and eat it, you might be able to enhance your power."

Mo Qi was curious by nature and couldn't help but ask: "How much do you want to sell it for?"

Before the hunter could speak, Hu Daniu, who had been staring at the dead snake, suddenly grabbed Mo Qi's sleeve and whispered: "If this snake is cooked and eaten, I'm afraid it will die!"

Mo Qi was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Do you know this snake?"

Hu Daniu nodded and asked the hunter: "How do you want to sell this snake?"

Mo Qiqi said: "You said you can't eat it, why do you still want to buy it?"

Hu Daniu said: "This snake is extremely poisonous, and only its bile can be used. I don't know how long it has been dead. If it takes too long, the bile will condense and it will be useless."

The hunter quickly said: "Not long, not long, not even two hours. When my brother and I found it, it was still struggling to die. I was afraid that it was too poisonous, so I stabbed it to death and immediately killed it. Came to the city. If you want it, you must give me five taels of silver!"

Jin Mingjun stared and said, "Are you so poor that you want to sell us a snake for five taels of silver? We don't want it anymore!"

Ye Guhong suddenly said: "Okay, I'll give you ten taels, but you have to take me to the place where you caught the snake!"

The hunter was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there."

Jin Mingjun immediately took out ten taels of silver from the bag, handed it to Orion and said, "You are lucky to meet my junior brother, a rich man!"
