across mountains and seas

On the first day of the first lunar month, a plaque was hung in the Pingdong General's Mansion in Donglin City. Jing Lan announced to the public that the letter to release his wife had been released, and Liuxi would no longer be Jing's new widow.

On that day, Aunt Hong, Jin Lingdang, and Shen Jiangli also moved into General Pingdong's mansion together.

Because the lieutenant officers and soldiers of the army will also take a rest these days, so the Jing family's youngsters don't have to go to the barracks.Jing Yuan took Uncle Jing Jiu around the city, planning to pick a suitable place and build another Pingxi General's Mansion.

Jing Huan had nothing to do, so he went to work with his third brother.

Jing Lan took "Late of the Wolf" to the Pingdong General's Mansion to discuss with Liu Xi, which was justified.On the contrary, it was Jing Tan who used the excuse of going to see Aunt Hong and wanted to stay in General Pingdong's mansion for a while, but Aunt Hong hurriedly dismissed him every time.

Now Liu Xi is no longer his sister-in-law, Jing Tan has been staying for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause people to gossip.Aunt Hong cherishes Liu Xi, so naturally she can't let her son provoke Liu Xi's wrongful comments.

Unexpectedly, without this important obstacle of identity, Jing Tan would actually be farther away from Liu Xi.

He was very depressed, and it was hard to talk to Aunt Hong about his feelings at this juncture.After all, Liu Xi had only left Jing's for a day, and he said he liked Liu Xi, not to mention Aunt Hong, I'm afraid Liu Xi would get tired of him and ignore him.Now he has neither military merit nor fame, he is a gangster, and his status is not worthy of Liuxi's rank of General Pingdong.

Jing Lan also said that it would be too much to ask the court for four general ranks at once.So Jing Tan was anxious, but he didn't dare to urge Jing Lan to ask the imperial court for an order to grant him a general rank.

Days passed like this day by day, and Jing Tan's urgency grew day by day.

Unexpectedly, just after the eighth day of the first lunar month, a very disturbing news came from General Pingdong's mansion.

It is true that Liu Xi became a widow right from the beginning, so everyone knows that she is still perfect.In the past few months, not to mention Donglin City, the entire East Fuzhou has heard about her skills.Although she has been expelled from the Xishan Liu family, she was also the first daughter of the Xishan Liu family, so she must have good military skills.In addition, she assisted Jing's all the way, and now Jing's is standing proudly in Dongfuzhou, and he is in the limelight. Who doesn't love a good wife like her?

If you get a wife Liuxi, you will have the skills to forge soldiers in the Western Mountains and the mechanical skills in the Eastern Sea. Such a woman is an excellent wife candidate for ambitious men in the world.

Jing Tan must not be the only one interested in such a sweet pastry.

So, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, all kinds of betrothal gifts were placed outside General Pingdong's mansion, and several matchmakers looked at each other with disgust, with such arrogance that they could only stare at each other.

In addition to the matchmaker, there are also several people from the rivers and lakes who come directly to the door to ask for a marriage.

Jing Lan's face was livid, she wore armor and held a sword, commanding soldiers and horses to stop these people outside the gate of the mansion.She regretted it very much at the moment, she only thought of making Liu Xi no longer a sister-in-law, but she didn't expect that after this happened, so many people would come out and threaten not to marry unless Liu Xi.

Damn!

Her Xi'er is also coveted by these people? !

The more Jing Lan thought about it, the more she regretted it, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, but besides maintaining her position, she couldn't really drive these people away.After all, she can only send troops to intervene on the grounds of preventing turmoil in the city. It is only Liu Xi's private matter whether Liu Xi marries or not.

When Jing Tan rushed to the outside of General Pingdong's mansion, Liu Xi was wearing plain clothes, with small white flowers on her temples, and was slowly walking out of the mansion.Accompanied by Aunt Hong and Shen Jiangli.

"Captain, you don't need to go to war for the last general." Liu Xi said lightly, and she stepped out of the threshold step by step, without anger and prestige, her cold face made everyone who saw it secretly amazed.

Jing Lan turned her face to the side and said solemnly: "The governor is only worried about the turmoil in the city, not going to war."

Liu Xi smiled lightly and shook her head, she only took one look at Jing Lan, and knew that she should be jealous now.Liu Xi walked slowly to Jing Lan's side and said in a low voice, "It seems that there are quite a few people who want me."

Jing Lan glared at her, "You can still laugh?!"

If it is possible, Jing Lan just wants to take a stick, stick after stick, and beat these annoying ghosts poking their eyes away from the mansion.

Liu Xi can naturally laugh, she can't be the only one who is frightened, can she?

Jing Tan drew out his sword, approached Jing Lan, and said anxiously, "Xiao Wu, as long as you say something, Second Brother will teach these people a lesson with you today!"

When Aunt Hong heard this, she pulled Jing Tan to her side in displeasure, "This is about Xi'er, Ah Tan, don't forget, Xi'er is no longer your sister-in-law."

Jing Tan had no words to refute, he could only grit his teeth and look at the whispering matchmakers.

The matchmaker saw how vicious the two brothers of the Jing family were, so she dared not speak too much.

Seeing the situation, Shen Jiangli was a little worried, she quietly grabbed Liu Xi's clothes, "No, okay."

Liu Xi nodded and smiled and said, "It's really not good." As she spoke, she raised her voice and bowed to everyone present, "Although the little girl has received the letter to release her wife, she has also sworn to the Jing family's ancestral hall." Yes, I must observe filial piety for my deceased husband Jing Duo for three years before discussing my own marriage. You all suddenly come to the door to propose marriage, are you trying to trap me in a heartless and ruthless place?"

A Jianghu lord shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "Miss Liu's words are wrong. Miss Liu is affectionate and righteous, and I deeply appreciate it. If I miss a good girl like Miss, I will hold grudges for life. Therefore, as long as Miss Liu If you agree to marry me today, you can wait three years before you come to hire the girl."

"Who is going to marry you! I don't know where the little fish and shrimp came out! Are you worthy too?" A young man from a family next to him became angry when he heard this. He adjusted his clothes and respectfully looked at Liu Xi bowed, "I am the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, this year's No. [-] in the new division, Miss Liu, if you marry me..."

"What's so great about the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice? My cousin is Cao's son-in-law!" The other young master didn't wait for the man to finish speaking, and said, "Cao family in the capital of Li, who doesn't give a thumbs up?"

Liu Xi really didn't expect that even the Cao family in Lidu also took a fancy to her.

The more Jing Lan heard it, the more piercing she felt. She pinched Chong Xiao's fingers and rattled them. Now she not only wanted to hit these people away with a stick, but also wanted to cut off their noisy tongues one by one with a sword!

Aunt Hong approached Liuxi with concern, and said seriously: "Xi'er, don't be afraid, if you really like someone today, you have the courage to agree, and Aunt Hong will support you. If anyone dares to say no to you in the future, Hong Auntie cut him down first with a knife!"

Jing Lan and Jing Tan were anxious when they heard it, Aunt Hong's words were all put here, it was obviously here to disrupt the situation!

Aunt Hong noticed the displeasure in Jing Lan and Jing Tan's eyes, she stared at her and said in a solemn voice, "What's wrong? Xi'er is in such a good age, what's wrong with thinking about yourself?"

Jing Lan couldn't help but say, her sweetheart can only marry her, how can she be robbed by these people?

Jing Tan could only bear with it, he also wanted to marry a good girl like Liu Xi, he didn't want Liu Xi to be someone else's wife.

The two of them couldn't speak out what was in their hearts at this time, they just felt oppressed when they were trapped in their hearts, and their faces were even paler than before.

Seeing Jing Lan's face getting more and more ugly, Liu Xi was full of joy.

She nodded gratefully to Aunt Hong, "Thank you Aunt Hong." After saying that, she took a step forward and said slowly, "I already understand what you guys want."

Sour!It was as if a knife dipped in vinegar had stabbed hard into my heart.

Jing Lan just wanted to hug Liu Xi into her arms, and raised her head to announce loudly to these people, "Xi'er is mine!"

Liu Xi turned her head suddenly, her eyes suddenly met Jing Lan's, she smiled and said: "Alan and Second Brother Jing are worried about me today, so they came here to protect me, I am also very grateful."

Jing Lan frowned slightly, and looked at her dumbly, all the unspoken sour words were soaked in the bottom of her eyes.

The corners of Liu Xi's lips raised slightly, "Don't worry." She only said two simple words, then turned her head away, raised her voice and smiled at everyone, "My marriage is my private matter, and I'm not the gatekeeper. Choose a husband." His eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at the Cao family's disciples, and the Cao family's disciples only felt half of the cold in an instant.

"Since you all insist on me giving an explanation today, then I will tell you a few words from my heart. I only marry the person I like." As she spoke, Liu Xi smiled lightly, "I hope my husband can be alone, at least You can fight me three times with fist and kick kung fu." As soon as she said this, those literati could only shake their heads, bow their heads and lead them away first.

The matchmakers quietly wondered if the man who sent them here knew martial arts?For those who don't know martial arts, the matchmaker wisely left with the dowry.

"I hope my husband is good at swimming. It doesn't matter that he doesn't have the ability to go to the sky and enter the earth. At least he must have the little ability to fish in the sea and the lake." After Liu Xi finished speaking, she couldn't help but think of the scene where Jing Lan took her to swim. Live dumbly and smile.

Most of the gangsters have the ability to enter the water, and Liu Xi didn't leave a few after saying this.

Jing Lan felt her ears burn, and her heart, which was sore and astringent, was healed instantly by Liu Xi's words.Let alone go to the sea or lake to catch fish, she can even go down to behead the dragon.

Jing Tan thought to himself that his water skills were not bad, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Liu Xi made a three-point comparison to the rest of the people, "The third point, I hope my husband is younger than me."

"This!"

"Xi'er?"

Not to mention the suitors, even Aunt Hong was taken aback. She hurriedly glanced at the few remaining people, and she thought, Liu Xi must have not taken a fancy to those people, that's why she sent them away with this sentence.

Jing Lan was secretly delighted, and couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing.

Liu Xi pretended to be surprised and asked back: "What's the matter? Only men are allowed to find younger ones, but girls are not allowed to find younger ones?"

Once she said this, how could those people refute?

"Xiao Lang-jun has three virtues: he is gentle, young, and obedient." The more Liu Xi spoke, the more frivolous his tone became, "I see that you are all older than me, so I can only say that I have no destiny with you. Looking for a good match?" After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked to Jing Lan's side, "Captain, the general's private affairs have been settled, if these people are still hanging around outside the gate of the general's house, please ask the governor to help the general Make up your mind, catch a few and throw them into the government prison, let them read the laws of our Daliang carefully."

Jing Lan sneered and said, "General Liu is at ease when he returns home, the governor knows what to do?" As she spoke, she drew her sword out of its sheath and let out a clear howl of the sword into the sky, "There is a law in the Great Liang that gathers crowds to cause trouble, Conspiracy and rebellion! If you don’t want to leave again, the governor will deal with business.”

"Go, go."

"It's the old shoes of the second marriage, and you still want to find a younger one? Tsk tsk, the world is going down, what kind of virtue!"

An unpleasant word resounded from the crowd, and Jing Lan's sword swayed, piercing the Jianghu young man's shoulders with his sword, tearing his shoulders, and at the same time kicking him to the ground, the sword suddenly reached his throat.

"Insulting the court officials, according to the law, they will be imprisoned for three years and sentenced to exile." Jing Lan finished speaking coldly, and swept the soldiers beside her, "Come here, take it down! Put it in prison!"

"promise!"

"Captain... I know I'm wrong... I know I'm wrong..."

When the man was dragged down by the soldiers, he kept begging for mercy.

Jing Lan retracted her sword and turned back coldly, her eyes were like a knife, "There are still those who know the law and break the law, all of them will be detained according to the law!"

"No!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

The author has something to say: Liu Xi: I didn’t expect that~ Ah Lan, this girl is actually very prosperous~

Jing Lan: As many as you come, I will cut as many as you want! (Hey, I suddenly feel that the youngest is not bad~)
