The rivers and lakes are full of local tyrants

Two days later, everyone bid farewell to the people of Lonicera City and continued heading north.

Shen Qianling hugged the small heater and took a nap in the carriage.Fuqiu squatted aside, playing paw paw with its father, Little Black Bean's eyes sparkled.Ye Jin and Shen Qianfeng rode the green jade together, and walked slowly outside.The hidden guards of Sun Moon Villa followed closely on horseback, paying attention to any strangeness in the surroundings, and by the way, kept an eye on the hidden guards of the Shadow Chasing Palace, so that they could quickly get out of the way when they rushed over, which was very embarrassing.

The journey was smooth, the weather became colder as we went north, and the snow became thicker. When we reached the foot of Changbai Snow Mountain, there was a vast expanse of snow everywhere, almost dripping into ice.

A team of people was guarding outside the mountain, and the leader was Liancheng Guyue. After the battle in Beixun Village that day, he turned back to Wuxuemen, but he learned that Qin Shaoyu and his party were going to Changbai Snow Mountain, so he had to stay around the clock hurry home.After all, as the young master of the Liancheng clan, he really has no reason to sink into Beauty Township at this time.

"Young Master Liancheng has been waiting for a long time." Shen Qianfeng led Ye Jin to get off the horse.

"President Shen is polite." Liancheng Guyue smiled, and stepped aside to make way, "Everyone, please."

The mountain pass is very narrow, but it becomes wider as you go in, and the snow gradually decreases. When you enter the deep mountain, it is already spring and flowers are blooming, just like March in the south of the Yangtze River.A majestic and majestic villa stands majestically, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance.Shen Qianling was a little shocked. He thought that the paradise only existed in the fairy mountains and islands, but he didn't expect that there was such a wonderful place in the white Changbai Mountain. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it anyway.

Fuqiu was full of novelty in his heart, and squatted in the arms of the dark guard and turned his head to look around, with a cute little expression!

After Liancheng Guyue personally took everyone to the guest room, she turned around and left, saying that she would come to invite them again during the dinner.Shen Qianling took off the sable fur and still thought it was too hot, so he changed into the cotton padded clothes and felt more comfortable.

"There are hot springs all around, so there will be such out-of-season scenes." Ye Jin said, "Looking at the scale of the villa, there are at least a thousand people."

"From the time we entered the mountain to the present, it doesn't seem to be long." Shen Qianling was puzzled, "Why can the Liancheng family hide in the snow mountain for generations without being noticed by outsiders?"

"You think the time is not long because there is Liancheng Guyue leading the way." Qin Shaoyu said, "The road into the mountain is full of five elements and gossip. If you don't understand the mystery and force yourself to rush in, I'm afraid you will go around in this snow mountain. lifetime."

"That's it." Shen Qianling was stunned, "No wonder."

"Earlier, I just sent a letter of worship to Changbai Mountain, but I didn't expect Guyue Liancheng to come out to greet him in person." Shen Qianfeng said, "It doesn't seem like his temperament."

"People are always different from the rumors." Ye Jin said, "Ling'er is also said to be a master of wind and rain. When have you seen him cast spells?"

Shen Qianling: ...

"Anyway, it's always a good thing that Liancheng Guyue agreed to help." Qin Shaoyu said, "As for other things, it's not important."

"Guests." While everyone was talking, the butler suddenly said outside, "I'm here to deliver the hot water needed for bathing. I wonder if I need it?"

That must be needed!It's best to soak in hot water comfortably after a long journey, okay?With an apple in his mouth, the shadow chasing palace guard enthusiastically ran out to help, hoping to make new friends along the way.As a result, they were shocked as soon as they left the house. A dozen petite girls each carried two large buckets and filed in from the outside without any staggering. Their steps were extremely steady, obviously they also had internal strength.

Faced with such a large number of lolita, the Jianghu mascot shrinks shamefully and is very timid.

The hidden guard of Sun Moon Villa snorted coldly, expressing contempt.

Shadow Chasing Palace Dark Guard: ...

What's so funny about this, we are called gentlemen.

He doesn't even look at the girl, she has a very good conduct.

After putting down the bucket, the butler respectfully led the people away.Shen Qianling was puzzled, "There is no one who asks a girl to do chores."

"This is Luoxing spring water, and men's yang energy is turbid. Only seventeen or eighteen girls can be used to fetch water, so as not to pollute the water source." Ye Jin said, "Guarding the snow mountain for generations must be full of reverence for the snow mountain, so naturally they will use all means to remove it." Protection, it’s not surprising.”

"So much attention?" Shen Qianling was a little surprised, thought for a while and then asked, "How do you know?"

"Since you're going to Changbai Snow Mountain, you have to check the details clearly, and you can't rush in." Ye Jin said, "But there are very few records about the Liancheng clan, and I don't know much about it."

This is already very powerful!Shen Qianling's eyes were filled with admiration.

His sister-in-law is simply a good wife.

The spring water naturally has a faint fragrance, and Shen Xiaoshou soaked in it comfortably, feeling his belly warm.

"Chirp!" The fur ball spread its wings and leaned against the small basin beside it, also very lazy.

Everyone is very comfortable, only the shadow chasing palace guard with a handkerchief around his waist, standing by the bathtub, can't make up his mind!

This is the water brought by the girl's house, it is fragrant and smokes, it is killing me...

Don't dare to step in at all, okay?

Very nervous.

In the main house on the other side, an elegant middle-aged woman was leaning on a soft couch, asking another woman in plain clothes to apply Danko for her.

Liancheng Guyue knelt in the middle of the room, waiting for the two of them without saying a word.

"Okay." The woman in plain clothes put away the small porcelain bottle, "This time I changed it to red for my sister, it doesn't look so creepy."

"That's right, it's much more pleasing to the eye." Lady Grace nodded approvingly, raising her hand to look carefully.

"Mother, aunt." Liancheng Guyue coughed twice.

"Have you been asked to speak?" Mrs. Grace stared at her almond-shaped eyes, "Continue to kneel!"

"Sister, why bother to get angry." The woman in plain clothes sighed, and stepped forward to help Guyue Liancheng up, "What can't be said between mother and child, Guyue is back anyway, and Xiaoran has not seen a single shadow until now. Who am I going to tell? Elder sister doesn’t know something. I feel bitter. I gave birth to such a disobedient son. At the beginning, he didn’t want to stay in the snow mountain, so I should force him to stay. How could it be like this? Five years—"

"Ahem!" Liancheng Guyue interrupted her, and said sincerely, "Xiaoran has something to do outside, and when the work is done, she will naturally come back to visit her aunt."

"What good can we do with you all day long?" Madam Grace stood up and reprimanded, "Disregarding the legacy of the ancestors and leading outsiders into the snow-capped mountains, how can you be worthy of your surname!"

"Zhou Jue is still lurking in the extreme northern snowfield. If he sends troops southward, he will definitely cross the snow-capped mountains and pose a threat to the Liancheng clan." Liancheng Guyue said, "Now that someone volunteers to help solve the problem, why not?"

"A mere Zhou Jue, would you take it seriously?" The graceful woman waved her sleeves, her voice became more aggressive, "Is it for the Liancheng family, or for the Wuxuemen?"

Liancheng Guyue said without changing her face, "Of course it is for the Liancheng family."

The graceful woman was extremely angry, but she wanted to laugh.

The Liancheng clan never cared about worldly affairs, how could they get themselves into such muddy waters?

"Sister, please don't say a few words." The woman in plain clothes comforted, "No matter what the reason is, now that the guests have come, and there is a martial arts leader inside, it is difficult to drive them out."

"If Zhou Jue is wiped out, there will be no threat to the north of Changbai Mountain, which is a good thing for the Liancheng family." Liancheng Guyue said, "As for Wuxuemen, can we wait until this incident is over before making a decision?"

The graceful woman snorted lightly, but she didn't say yes or no.

The woman in plain clothes winked at her nephew, Liancheng Guyue understood, and briefly explained the purpose of Qin Shaoyu and others' visit.

Among the two, the graceful woman is the well-known Hong Ling Piaoxiang Thirteen Niang in the Jianghu, she got her name because she is the thirteenth in her family, and the other plain-clothed woman is her younger sister, named Hong Mian.More than twenty years ago, Thirteen Niang met the previous owner of Changbai Snow Mountain when she was walking in the rivers and lakes. She married her husband and went to the northeast with her husband, and disappeared completely in the rivers and lakes.Her natal family was originally a wealthy landowner in the northwest, and having such an astonishing daughter was already a headache, but she never expected to marry someone from the snow-capped mountains. Although she felt distressed, there was nothing she could do, so she had to post a large dowry and let her go. The youngest daughter also became a dowry, so the two sisters also had someone to take care of them.A few years later, when Hong Mian grew up, Thirteen Niang found a next-in-law from the Liancheng clan for her to marry, and her life was peaceful and happy.

The two sisters have a quick temper and a slow temper, which is just a good match.Liancheng Guyue grasped this rule, she would go to her aunt every time she made a mistake when she was young, and it has become a habit for so many years.And the facts also proved that this trick was indeed effective - at least Thirteen Niang did not get angry after hearing the whole thing, but leaned on the couch and thought about it.

"Actually, we're not at a loss." Hong Mian said on the sidelines again, "Although you and I haven't been out of the mountain for these years, the things outside are very clear. According to Shen Qianfeng's behavior, he shouldn't be able to force others to make things difficult. This time it's resolved Zhou Jue, save the Liancheng clan from having to work harder in the future, why not do it?"

"Forget it, let's take a look at it at night." Thirteen Niang rubbed her temples, "I gave birth to a rebellious child, and there is no other way."

Liancheng Guyue kept silent, but she was relieved.

In all fairness, ninety-nine percent of his willingness to help this time is because Yin Wushuang opened his mouth, and it has nothing to do with the court's stability and morality.Although Niangqin seemed a little difficult to deal with, she never refused again, and it could barely be called smooth.

As for how it will develop in the future, you can only continue to work hard on your own.

An hour later, Thirteen Niang and Hong Mian sat in the dining room, waiting for the guests to come.About half a stick of incense passed, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then the door curtain was lifted.

"Chirp!" Fuqiu was originally squatting on his father's shoulders. After entering the room and seeing Thirteen Niang, the little black bean's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to go up and rub it. He even stretched out his short wings—since the After Huatang parted, it had not seen such softness for a long time, and he missed it very much!

Thirteen Niang was amused and stretched out her hand to it.

The furball immediately rushed over happily, "Chirp!"

"Hey!" Shen Qianling wanted to grab it, but felt a little embarrassed watching his son fly by in the air.

Thirteen Niang didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "This is Phoenix?"

"My lady laughed." Qin Shaoyu said, "I'm still too young to be sensible."

"It's rare for such a fluffy thing to be sensible." Thirteen Niang rubbed Fuqiu's head, stood up and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

"Jiujiu." Fuqiu spread out her paws in satisfaction.

The dark guard's heart was full of tears, he really deserved to be the master of the young palace, the grade was really different.

They rushed up and rubbed against each other, and we didn't even dare to look at it.

The gap couldn't be more red!

Before this meeting, in fact, both parties were a little uncertain about what would happen.But no one expected that the embarrassing situation would be resolved in this way.The servants filed in and brought all kinds of food. Thirteen Niang asked, "The Phoenix eats morning dew, but I didn't prepare it in a hurry. I wonder if it can be replaced by flower dew?"

"No need." Shen Qianling said, "As long as it's not bones, you can feed it anything, it's easy to raise."

"Really?" Thirteen Niang didn't believe it, and took a spoonful of snow lotus meat soup.

Fuqiu ate happily.

Thirteen Niang laughed, "You really are not picky eaters." After speaking, she looked up at her son, "It's much easier to raise than your stuff."

Liancheng Guyue: ...

"I wonder what the young master is raising?" Shen Qianfeng asked.

Shen Xiaoshou said silently in his heart, Yin Wushuang.

Thumbs up.

Liancheng Guyue clapped her hands twice, and after a while, a huge white snow wolf came in from outside the house.

Shen Qianling was surprised, but he wasn't afraid - in fact, as long as Qin Shaoyu was by his side, he would seldom be afraid of anything.

The snowfield wolf's fur is shiny, and its pupils are green like black jade in the abyss. It is standing in the center of the room at this time, watching the strangers in front of it vigilantly.

"Chirp." Fuqiu squatted by the table and barked at it.

Snowfield Wolf looked at it.

The hairball spreads its small wings, and the little black bean's eyes are triumphant, it's really majestic!

Snow Wolf: ...

As a domineering ancient divine bird, Maoqiu jumped off the table, walked up to the snowfield wolf with twists and turns, raised his head and chirped.

The snowfield wolf walked around it without squinting, and squatted at the feet of Guyue Liancheng.

"..." Mao Qiu was deeply shocked, and ran to Thirteen Niang's arms to hide her grievances.

Just want to play together.

"Look at what you raise!" Thirteen Niang glared at her son.

Liancheng Guyue: ...

What does this have to do with me!

"Thank you Madam for your hospitality." The atmosphere was slightly awkward, so Shen Xiaoshou had no choice but to smooth things over.

The dark guard applauded silently in his heart, Madam, well done!

"My lord, you're being polite." Thirteen Niang looked at him with a smile, "I only heard about it in rumors before, but now that I see it, I really don't look like an ordinary person."

Shen Qianling was smiling, looking cute and lovable, as if she had just stepped out of a painting!For middle-aged women, this one should not be too lethal!So after a meal, Thirteen Niang deliberately left Shen Qianling behind, and let him go after another meal of snacks, and she was very reluctant to part with her.

As soon as Liancheng Guyue entered the courtyard, she saw his mother instructing the cook to stew some snow clams for Ling'er tomorrow.

"Ling'er?" Liancheng Guyue was a little surprised, why did he call him so affectionately.

"Any opinion?" Thirteen Niang raised her eyebrows.

Liancheng Guyue said, "I'm just a little surprised."

"Twenty years ago, I met his mother once, and I remember that he has a good personality and is very cheerful." Thirteenth Niang said, "I had the opportunity to be sisters at first, but it's a pity that I followed you When Dad came here, he lost contact with everyone."

Liancheng Guyue was silent when she heard the words. According to the rules of the Liancheng clan, in order to protect the snow mountain from being disturbed, if a foreign woman wants to marry in, she must swear that she will never contact the outside world again.This is also one of his heart problems. According to Yin Wushuang's personality, he would definitely not accept such a request—and even if he would, he would not be willing to lock him in this snow mountain for the rest of his life.

"Why are you in a daze again?" Thirteen Niang was displeased.

"...I came here to ask my mother what impression she has of Shen Qianfeng and the others." Liancheng Guyue returned to her senses, "If mother agrees, I will discuss the next step with them tomorrow."

"If I object, will you listen?" Thirteen Niang asked.

Liancheng Guyue shook her head.

"Then why bother to ask." Thirteen Niang sat back on the couch.

"Mother is not an unreasonable person." Liancheng Guyue said.

"Stop wearing a high hat for me." Thirteen Niang raised her eyebrows lazily, "It's useless if you wear it."

"If my mother sincerely objects, Shen Qianling will not be left today." Liancheng Guyue said, "As the master of the Liancheng clan, I naturally know what to do and what not to do. Even if I agree to help, I will And absolutely will not let Xueshan suffer any loss, mother can rest assured on this point."

"Since I have made up my mind, I can't control you." Thirteen Niang waved her hand, "Go, discuss the next step, and then tell me."

Liancheng Guyue nodded, turned and left the room.Hong Mian came out from the inner room and said, "Sister, is this a promise?"

"So what if you don't agree?" Thirteen Niang said, "Gu Yue has already taken over the entire family, so how can I interfere in everything."

"Actually, that's fine." Hong Mian said, "Getting rid of Zhou Jue is really good for the Liancheng clan, and Gu Yue can save a lot of worry. As for Wuxuemen, it won't be too late to deal with it after this matter is over. .”

Thirteen Niang was thoughtful, but said nothing.
