son-in-law

Chapter 1185 The old dream goes to a new journey

The chaotic flames flew like sparks, and the night gradually deepened.

In the courtyard at the northwest end of the city, the dinner after the war was a hot pot feast.

A variety of food is mixed in a pot of relatively clear water, supplemented with unique sauces brought from three thousand miles away, and every ten people sit around a table. As a reward for victory, each person gets some fermented glutinous rice , coupled with the browned horse meat roasted with various spices in the center of the venue, are all evil ways from the Southwest, which is intoxicating.

The noise of the city in the night was like a weird background music, the outer guard posts changed for a round, and in the lively courtyard, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army and the Beiwei Army walked back and forth, mingling together.

When the night was getting dark, the social gatherings among the people gradually came to an end, and Chen Fan just returned to the round table under the eaves to eat some serious meals. At this time, Qian Luoning, Xiao Qi and others had also finished their tour , Hei Niu, Xiao Hei, Yuwen Fit and the others finished the fight and went to the table to accompany them, so they could talk about some more personal and confidential topics.

"Long... This, what about Long Shaoxia, what is going on?"

As the actual leader of the 29th Army of the Huaxia Army, Chen Fan's status in this world is quite high now, and people around him will not easily bother him with many small things in the green forest.A few days ago, he decided to attack Lin Zongwu as a bully sword. In the eyes of Zuo Xiuquan and others, it was already a condescending and unnecessary move. He had heard about Ning Ji's running away from home. After communicating with Qian Luoning and the others, he also knew about the behavior of the other party's pseudonym Long Aotian, but he would not talk about these things with the people around him, and the people around him would never introduce "Five Chi" to him. Rumors of a rookie like "Y Demon" Long Aotian.

That's why I was a little surprised to learn about the follow-up today.

Hearing this question, Qian Luoning, Xiao Qi and the others laughed a little, while Hei Niu and the others looked at each other with different expressions.

"This matter is very complicated..." Qian Luoning said.

"It's only interesting when it's complicated." Chen Fan licked the rice, "A good young man, who ran away from home for less than half a year, and his name was on the black list, and he even got the nickname of Five Foot Y Demon, I'm a little bit surprised. Unexpectedly, with Ning Ji's character, how could it be... The thing about him running away from home is already nonsense, and I heard that he was jealous of Qin Weiwen..."

"That Yu Xiao'er is a slut, it's a pity we didn't find her." Speaking of this, the black girl opposite said with a cold expression.

Xiao Qi said on the side: "It's some problems left over from the past. Xiao...Xiaolong has a pure personality, so it's a disaster without any reason. The problem between him and Weiwen has been resolved. But the matter of the Yan family has caused such a big trouble, it is true It was a little unexpected. A few days earlier, Xiao Hei led a team out to investigate, and after saving the girl from the Yan family, we finally figured out the ins and outs... Hei girl was involved a lot in this matter, come on Tell Shuai Chen."

She said so, and let Hei Niu speak, and clearly described several important events that Ning Ji had come over from Tongshan County.When Hei Niu talked about the later result, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Of course, the rest of the people had already heard about the ins and outs of this matter before, only Chen Fan listened while eating, and finally had a complicated expression, and he didn't know what to do. Laughter should still be serious.

"Actually, the specific things are like this..." The black girl finally became Chen Jie, "Dragon... Our Long Shaoxia, in Tongshan County, faced the entire Li family's pursuers with one person's strength and exchanged The hostages are motivated by the enemy's mind, and he may feel that a sentence makes people feel overwhelmed and proud, I think this... sigh, it can be considered excusable."

Chen Fan took some leftovers, took two mouthfuls of rice, tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and was silent for a moment.

"It's justifiable...you can say it like this, but it's only in the eyes of sensible people. Xiaolong...has a special status. In Zhangcun, it's because a woman ran away from home and went to the rivers and lakes. The one who came out on top is the Y Demon, and he also brought the size, which may cause problems in the future."

After he finished speaking, Hei Niu's face was serious, and she said: "We have discussed this matter, but fortunately he used an alias, and said to the outside world that he is the 'Martial Arts Leader' Long Aotian, because people like Li Yanfeng are blind According to rumors, although there are some people who suspect that he is from the southwest, as long as the real identity is not revealed, it should not attract too much attention. On our side, the eighth master has already said it, so we will not make an official record. "

This is business, Chen Fan nodded, paused for a moment, then smiled: "...Wulin alliance leader?"

"Well, he boasted that his sect was called the 'Wulin League', so he was the leader of the Wulin League." Xiao Qi held back a smile, "After arriving in Jiangning, he was against Xu Zhaonan, Zhou Shang, and Shi Baofeng. I want to make a name for myself, to make a name for myself, to take a few shots, to teach some bad guys a lesson, and to keep my nickname... Unfortunately, no one pays attention to him."

"...The boss of the Wulin League is called the leader of the Wulin League. Lao Ning has said this joke before."

Chen Fan couldn't help laughing, and the rest of the people laughed together, and the roof was filled with joy.

After laughing like this for a moment, Chen Fan restrained his expression. He looked at the people in front of him and pointed to the black girl: "Xiuxiu... and Xiaolong grew up together. Last time I went to Zhangcun, Ning Xi and I When you first got married, who was Ning Ji being chased and killed? Lao Ning said, your relationship is very good. Last time, I thought the little girl was only high in martial arts.

The black girl's name is Jin Wenxiu, and she met Chen Fan a few times before, in fact, most of them were Hong Ti's disciples. This time, she has experienced fighting side by side on the battlefield, and her perception is obviously more specific.When he said this, the black girl showed a rare look of embarrassment, and Xiao Hei and Yuwen next to her laughed and slapped the table.

In fact, Chen Fan said it implicitly, Hei Niu is a little younger than the first year of the first year, because of the relationship between senior and sister. Before and after Ning Xi and the first year of marriage, she was occasionally considered to be Ning Ji's child bride. complicated reasons.

Xiao Qi on the side said with a smile: "That's right, Xiuxiu first followed my sister-in-law Hongti to learn martial arts. Later, the second sister saw her smart and kept her by Zhangcun's side. She learned to manage accounts for two years. Being both civil and military, she is now a sweet pastry. In the future, she will either join the General Staff or stay in the Zhangcun Secretariat. Even Sister-in-law Watermelon has been greedy for her for a long time, and said she will be hired to become a military adviser. In addition, my brother-in-law's mouth is in These things are also a bit of a joke, Miss Yan's car is in front of you, Chen Shuai, please don't follow the nonsense."

"Well, it makes sense." Chen Fan nodded with a smile.

When a few people mentioned this, the black girl over there curled her lips, but reached out and patted the table: "I'm not as delicate as the little girl named Yan, but I'm from the same generation as the first graders. When I was in Zhangcun "Teach Xiaolong a lesson, that's what Mrs. Chan'er and Mr. Ning asked me to do. How can there be so many things."

"The thing is actually like this." Xiao Hei waved his hand, "In the early years, that kid Ning Ji was keen on practicing martial arts. You know Chen Shuai. He grew up around him, and soon there was no sense of urgency in fighting, especially before and after the Southwest War, his martial arts progressed rapidly, and after staying in the army, ordinary martial arts competitions became child's play..."

"It's progressing fast like this, but it's actually not good. Master's martial arts skills are high, but his personality is too gentle, and he can't give any sense of tension in front of children. We haven't been embarrassed to beat him to death these years, but To be honest, if he doesn't use all his strength, he really won't be able to keep him at this time, including some soldiers in the army. Although they say they want to fight as much as possible, they have some scruples if they want to get started. At this time... among the younger generation, Wenxiu is the most capable person, who often calls a group of children to rush up and beat Ning Ji into a dead dog."

"So let me be fair." When he said this, he pointed his finger at the table, "It's really... a bit like a child bride."

After the words fell, the black girl over there turned her face, grabbed a chopstick with her left hand and stabbed at it, Xiao Hei blocked it with bamboo chopsticks, and Yuwen Feidu was about to dodge to the rear and get out of the battle circle. The broad beans were thrown out and hit him on the head.He was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "...that bastard's bad words have nothing to do with me."

The black girl akimbo: "I'm just fine!"

"Oh..." Yuwen Feidu sighed, lifted the stool and leaned against the table, "Chen Shuai, let me tell you, don't think that the black girl is normal now, she is actually crazy. After the Southwest War last year, little Ji came back from the battlefield, and the black girl beat him, but in fact it was hard to catch him. Once... I remember it was at the end of October, she sneaked to the side of the hut and threw firecrackers into it, with a lot of medicine, like The kind that is half the size of a grenade, and then I saw..."

When he said this, the black girl punched him on the shoulder. He couldn't help laughing and didn't care, and then received the second and third punches: "...Then I saw Xiaoji carrying his pants from the thatched hut. He jumped out... He came back from the battlefield, he was very vigilant, he broke the door, and his body was so flexible... The whole thatched hut was bombed with shit up and down, and the people around were terrified. At that time... Haha, Du Sha also went to see it, and after asking about the ins and outs, he frowned and said...this...how is this sanitation done? Later, he said that it can't be used, so let's build a new one...haha Ha ha ha ha……"

Yuwen Feidu slapped his thighs with laughter for a moment, Xiao Hei next to him also laughed, Xiao Qi covered his mouth, took a broad bean and beat it, Chen Fan over there sighed, put down the rice bowl in his hand, he couldn't laugh or cry.The black girl blushed: "I said it was Madam Chan'er and the others who entrusted me, that...that was to train him to react when he was attacked by a grenade! You see, Boss Du didn't even say that I can't bomb—"

Hei Niu said at the end, she also burst out laughing, she beat Yuwen Feiduo twice, sat there with her arms crossed, passed a while, smiled: "Okay, I admit that at that time... I also I was a little confused, that hut... that hut is everywhere... it's all that stuff, the roof is still dripping down... I almost fell on Boss Du's head, I thought at the time, if this is a penalty for me to restore the hut , I really... can't live anymore... puff puff... huhu..."

Several people around the table were laughing, and Chen Fan couldn't hold back his laughter. After a while, he picked up his expression and looked at the job in front of him: "Okay, I know, you are just here to toss me, I still I haven't finished eating yet."

Yuwen Fitu raised his hand and said no more, the black girl said: "The lame man is full of bad water, Chen Shuai, you can kill him." Xiaohei said: "I have no opinion." Chen Fan smiled.

"And then, what kind of sinister training our Long Shaoxia usually receives, I can understand it. He came off the battlefield and has been chased by Wenxiu for more than half a year. It's no wonder... He beat him. After the death of King Nanda, he was chased and killed by Lin Zongwu all the way, and he dealt with it very well. You guys... only taught him martial arts to fight, but didn't teach others the worldly knowledge, but this is Lao Ning's fault, he should take it for himself."

He paused slightly: "Then there are actually two things to think about here now, the first one, the Yan family is not a bad person, and the Yan Family Fort led by Yan Taiwei is not a big force, but its anti-gold position It has always been clear. Yan Tiehe brought this girl Yan to Jiangning, and the children in the family were all broken. Regarding this matter... Of course, it can be said that Li Yanfeng and Shi Baofeng's problems, but in the final analysis, Xiaolong A word that is indispensable..."

"...Moreover, one of the more troublesome things here is that, as you have seen today, that Miss Yan doesn't seem to have pure hatred for Xiaolong. In fact, she is most concerned about Xiaolong's safety. This matter If Lao Ning is here, what will happen? I’m afraid it’s not just a matter of just pushing it away.”

When he said this, the people around were silent for a moment, Qian Luoning said: "This matter, Yan Tiehe, is actually not difficult to appease. When the Yan family first placed a bet, Baofeng wanted to find a way out for the Yan family. Well, since they have good dispositions, it would be a pleasant surprise for us to have a good relationship with him in the Southwest. But the trouble here is Miss Yan and Xiaolong. Yes, but how does Xiaolong feel, we can't find anyone here, so it's hard to express our opinion..."

When it came to the whereabouts of "Xiaolong", everyone looked at each other, but they were speechless.Xiao Hei ate a broad bean: "Why is he running away? Shuai Chen is here...Did you say something you shouldn't have said?"

Yuwen lowered his head and sighed: "What nonsense, chase and kill Lin Zongwu, who has time to say anything to him, according to his awkwardness at the age of [-] or [-], it would be strange if he didn't run. If he didn't run, he would still be alive tonight It's not that you bad guys take turns to make fun of him and ask him about his experience in becoming famous in the arena."

The black girl punched Yuwen Fit to show her approval.

The opposite Xiao Qi smiled.

"I see it like this. I didn't expect Miss Yan's affairs at first, so he ran away when he ran away, but now that there is something to explain, Xiao Hei, Yuwen...you three will go out and look for him later. , before everyone has left Jiangning, it is best to have an answer to this matter. We are scheduled to return in the morning the day after tomorrow, within a day, and we can find him as much as possible. What does Chen Shuai think? ?”

Chen Fan nodded: "I guess he will resist desperately. Since Xiuxiu has experience here, it's better for the three of you to go."

The three got up and accepted the order dumbfounded.

Chen Fan added: "You have to be careful when you strike. He was injured by Lin Zongwu's move. You can beat him half to death."

"Yes."

"Then what about the second thing Chen Shuai said just now?" Xiao Qi asked.

"The second thing." Chen Fan laughed, "I was thinking, how are you going to explain this to Lao Ning when you go back. In fact, you have been in the southwest for so long, you should all know that Lao Ning... your brother-in-law, right? There is still a longing for a career in Jianghu. In the previous competition in Chengdu, a game was set up for the masters from outside. I waited with him in the Mahachi all night. One of his tricks has been useless for a long time. If this goes on like this, the people of Jianghu will not know his illustrious name... That time I learned that Er Shao killed more than ten enemies in the yard by himself. There's a bit of envy underneath."

"This time, Second Young Master caused something to happen here and ran away from home. Old Ning must have had bad words to say, but in his heart, he might still feel that this child has inherited his longing for the world... Look at Second Young Master Along the way, when he was eleven or twelve years old, he already had ambitions for the green forest. He fought wildly in Hedengsan County, and later joined the army and went to the battlefield. As a father, Lao Ning certainly didn't want to The child had an accident, but since he couldn't stop it, he has actually been cultivating the child's ability to resist wind and waves in the rivers and lakes."

"At the age of 15, he traveled three thousand miles to the east. In Tongshan County, he played hundreds of people from the Li family and the Yan family around by himself. When he arrived in Jiangning, he assassinated Wei Yanwen and fought with Li Yanfeng. He killed Wang Nanda in front of Lin Zongwu, was chased all the way by Lin Zongwu, and even ran away. If Lao Ning was here, he would be gratified to hear about these things. But ah..."

Chen Fan knocked on the table: "But... the nickname of this young hero after he became famous all over the world is 'Five Foot Y Demon'...Old Qian, I'm just curious. You guys talked about this with Lao Ning. After the incident, what kind of reaction will he have... Old Qian, I won't be able to go to the southwest for a while, or I might as well report this incident for you, so you have to remember when the time comes, hehe, pay attention to his Face, I have to discuss this matter with him next time I go there hahahaha..."

When Chen Fan said this, he finally couldn't help laughing.Qian Luoning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You're not afraid to go down to Mr. Ning to find you a heads-up."

"I'm not afraid, he can go up with the watermelon, haha..."

"He hit you in the face with one move..."

Chen Fan, Qian Luoning, and Ning Yi have known each other for a long time, and they used to talk about each other in the same generation. At this time, it is just an anecdote among the big brothers. The two muttered a few words, and it was not easy for others to intervene.After a while, Chen Fan knocked on the table and said, "Oh, there is actually a third thing..."

The crowd looked at him.

"According to what everyone said, our Shaoxia Long was framed by that...what Xiaoer in Zhang Village, and Tongshan County was because of his carelessness against the enemy. When he arrived in Jiangning, he became famous as a 'five-foot Y-monster'. It's also because the bad guys splashed dirty water, let's assume that's the case, but...does anyone know who the person he met on the river today and dragged away?"

"Drag away?" Hei Niu thought for a while, looked at Yuwen Fit, "Is there such a thing?"

Yuwen Fitu also thought about it: "The one who punted the boat?"

Among the few people present, only Chen Fan and Yuwen Fit witnessed the scene by the river. At this time, when Chen Fan mentioned the sudden appearance of the character, Yuwen felt a little strange after thinking about it carefully.Qian Luoning frowned at the side: "What are you talking about? That four-foot Y demon?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, Si Chi is the little bald guy. He chased down Li Yanfeng with our people at first, and then turned back to see the scene where Xiaolong killed Wang Nanda. There was a dialogue saying that Lin Zongwu was his master. Later, Lin Zongwu chased Xiaolong all the way. I think Xiaolong's response along the way was remarkable, so he was not seriously injured, but after reaching the river, he jumped into the boat , In fact, the response is not good, Lin Zongwu took advantage of the bamboo pole when he volleyed and injured him seriously."

Yuwen Feidu thought for a while: "At that time... the few of us had already started to encircle Lin Zongwu. Xiaozhuo was the first to arrive. He set up a gun in the front yard, and I arrived after him. Xiaolong's escape all the way, in fact He led Lin Zongwu into the pocket, and at that time... it would have been more reasonable for him to turn back and rush into the nearby yard."

Chen Fan said: "He saw the person who was punting the boat, and changed direction. Later, he pulled the boat to the other side, and while we couldn't catch up, he took that person's hand and ran away."

Hei Niu leaned over: "Could it be like that 'Four Foot Y Demon', the new friend Long Shaoxia made in Jiangning?"

Chen Fan smiled: "It's a girl."

"..." Hei Niu's eyes widened.

"..." Everyone on the side also widened their eyes.

Yuwen Fit thought for a while: "I remember...that man's clothes were ragged, he should...like a young beggar..."

"Regardless of her attire, we didn't take a close look at her at first glance, but then Xiaolong dragged her onto the road, turned around and ran into the alley, I am sure that it is the figure of a girl who has never practiced martial arts. The pace...so think about it, who is this one?"

"Another... another one?"

"Could it be Yu Xiaoer?"

"Is that a coincidence?"

"Xiaolong...isn't this character..."

"When he went out, he threatened Qin Weiwen that he would chop off Yu Xiaoer's head and kick it as a ball..."

"Young people... It's not impossible to eat marrow and know taste..."

"I don't think it's such a coincidence..."

"Could it be...he got this five-footed name...and there are other things we don't know..."

"He's gone bad?"

"Think about it, he was played by a bad woman like Yu Xiaoer..."

"Don't use such dirty words..."

"Don't jump to conclusions... calm down."

The fire in the courtyard was still burning, and a great shock enveloped the area under the eaves. Several people at the table were whispering to each other.After a while, Hei Niu suddenly got up from the table: "I have to find him and ask him carefully! Chen Shuai, Qian Dui, then we..."

Qian Luoning looked at her: "Go now?"

"It's about the face of the Huaxia Army, so we can't delay it any longer."

While talking, Xiao Hei and Yu Wen also got up one after another, full of curiosity to find out the truth.Then Xiao Qi also stood up: "The situation in the city is changing rapidly, I will also ask, is there anyone else who can help find some information."

Chen Fan nodded, and after a few people left one after another, he picked up the rice bowl at the table, then laughed, and said to Qian Luoning: "I also said that there is nothing between Xiaoji and Xiaoji, look at how nervous you are. "

Qian Luoning also laughed: "It's just a little bit of age. At the time, Mrs. Chan'er and Mr. Ning asked Wen Xiuduo to take care of Xiaoji. In the past few years, the relationship between sister and brother is always unavoidable. One step late, is there really such a girl?"

"The one who punted the boat is indeed, but don't worry too much. In the battle in the daytime, after Wang Nanda's death, Lin Zongwu was a little out of control. His cultivation level is indeed higher than mine, if it is not for the sincerity of martial arts , a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old child cannot escape this round of pursuit."

"I think so too." Qian Luoning nodded.

Both of them are warriors of a higher level and have experienced many storms, so they have a simpler and more direct view on Ning Ji's matter.At this time, several young people had already left. After Chen Fan had a few mouthfuls of food, he talked about more complicated topics to Qian Luoning.

"From the beginning of this incident, the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River has to attract the attention of the whole world. When you came out, what happened to the southwest side?"

"When I went out, the second conference was already being prepared. According to the past few rounds of deductions, the first round of conferences was to set the slogan and general direction, and the second round of conferences was about to get real. The whole world was staring at Jiangnan. Now, Mr. Ning should have passed the land reform resolution and started to promote the implementation of the land reform plan."

"Really want to start?"

"He is a little hesitant, but it's the same as the hesitation before many major events over the years. He worries too much and is afraid of not being prepared enough. Even if he looks forward ten steps, he can always find the problem he is worried about." Qian Luoning said , "But the more this is the case, the deeper he thinks about this matter... How can he not push forward when he thinks so deeply?"

"Lao Ning does know something from birth..."

"On the other hand, due to this round of madness by the Jiangnan Fairness Party, after the massacre of the average wealth, it can be regarded as a round of endorsement for the land reform plan in the southwest, and the acceptance of all parties may be a little better. Outsiders It is said that He Wen has a deep scheming. This time, he took advantage of the east wind of the Huaxia Army to open the Jiangning Conference and stole our limelight. In fact, why didn't Mr. Ning use them as a stepping stone? If there is no liveliness here, the southwest suddenly If you propose land reform, I am afraid you will immediately face the opposition of the whole world, such as Dai Mengwei and Wu Qimei, I don’t know how many articles will be written implying that the Southwest will die due to tyranny.”

Talking about this topic, Chen Fan finished eating, and the two got up and walked slowly along the eaves.

"Lao Ning's land reform, he talked to me a few times, and wants to take all the land back to the country. Those who have land in the world may become our enemies." Chen Fan said, "I know that he is with you, with Xigua, and others. In the game with those young students, can all the problems be solved in your game?"

Qian Luoning shook his head: "The deduction can find some problems, but not all the problems. We can consider the solutions to some problems, but whether they can be solved or not depends on the actual work."

"What's the big question? How many people are you going to kill?"

Qian Luoning shook his head again.He was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"...It's a restriction on officials."

he said.
