Beauty Jianghu

Chapter 23 Red Leaves Like Fire

Li Xing and others saw that Zhang Yike was addicted to alcohol, but he almost died from drinking, so it was difficult to persuade him to drink again. So everyone stopped drinking, filled up the food, and started eating.

Zhang Yi saw that no one else was drinking, so he suppressed his alcohol addiction forcibly.

After finishing the meal and sipping tea, Yang Shucheng told Zhang Yike the whole story of his coming here.

Zhang Yike said: "Oh, I'm so sorry. Brother Yang's family is indeed here with me, but we treated him well and didn't have any difficulties. Come on, please invite Brother Yang's family here quickly."

The disciples hurriedly invited Yang Shucheng's family to come. Yang Niang, her sister Yang Shuli, and her uncle came to the hall. They had not lost weight and were indeed safe and sound. They had not suffered much.

Zhang Yike was grateful to this group of people for saving him, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and explained: "I am away from home all year round, and everything at home is done by my eldest disciple..."

He really didn't tell lies. He relied on his family's wealth to visit famous wines in various places all year round, and spent most of his time drunk and dreaming.

The affairs at home were left to the eldest disciples to handle, so these disciples did many bad things behind the master's back.

Zhang Yike said: "The reason why it is like this is that it is just something inherited from my family that has been stolen. I actually don't know what it is specifically."

Yang Shucheng said to Zhang Yike, "Treasure map."

Zhang Yike also whispered: "It's no wonder. My family has been rich for generations and has endless enjoyment. There is no point in asking for this picture. No wonder several generations of heads have followed the instructions of their ancestors and never opened it."

Yang Shucheng quietly handed the treasure map to Zhang Yike and explained the origin of the map in his hands.

Li Xing sat on the other side of Zhang Yike and told him about the borrowed treasure in a large box. Zhang Yike said: "To me, these treasures are just clods of earth and gravel. You are doing important things for the people. If you take them and use them, this is also called getting things in their proper place."

Zhang Yike stood up and said: "I'm very happy that you are here. I can meet the heroes of the world. It's just what I want. Alas, I can't drink with all the heroes anymore."

Yang Shucheng wanted to avenge his father, but this was what Tong Yuhui did behind his master's back. Zhang Yike didn't know about it, and Tong Yuhui was not in the village now. Yang Shucheng couldn't bear to say it, thinking of finding an opportunity to take revenge in the future.

Zhang Yike entertained them warmly. Li Xing and others stayed in the village for several days before Zhang Yike let them go.

So, Li Xing and others walked south along the Taihang Mountains.

After walking for a few days, they were almost at the entrance of Jinshi Villa. Li Xing said to Yang Shucheng: "After receiving the information, the imperial court has mobilized several armies to march into Shaanxi to encircle and suppress several rebel armies such as King Li Chuang. The situation is critical now. We must hurry up. Return to King Li Chuang. I see that your swordsmanship has improved a lot, so just escort Miss Zhao into the valley. Forgive me for not starting well and ending well. We have a chance to meet in the future. Brother Zhang, take care of yourself."

People on both sides were still saying goodbye when they saw two people walking on the road in the distance. They looked like they were Liu Zhengyu and Liu Junyi and their son.

Yang Shucheng looked at Zhao Xiaolin and saw that her skin was as white as jade, and her face reflected the colorful clouds, which was bright and dazzling. He couldn't bear the thought of her running away from marriage and running away from home, and being exposed to all the troubles. He couldn't help but whisper to He Jinhua:

"At that time, Miss Zhao was not satisfied with her father marrying him to Liu Junyi, so she ran away from home."

After hearing this, He Jinhua came to Zhao Xiaolin and said to her: "Sister Zhao, come here, I have something to explain to you."

The two girls waited for everyone to go away, and He Jinhua asked: "In front of you is Mr. Liu. When you go back this time, will you promise your father to marry him?"

Zhao Xiaolin shook her head and said, "No."

He Jinhua said: "Well Mr. Liu, I know him well. He has bad conduct. Don't be forced by your father to marry him temporarily."

"I see."

Liu Zhengyu and his son in front also saw He Houdao and the others behind them. Knowing that they were no match, they quickened their pace and ran into Jinshi Villa.

Li Xing was worried that the Liu family and his son would cause trouble for Yang Shucheng. When he was hesitating, He Houdao said: "Mr. Li, you go first. We, father and daughter, will protect Miss Zhao into the villa, so we are not afraid of them making trouble."

Li Xing thought of saving people to the end, so he nodded in agreement and said: "Brother He, after finishing the matter, hurry up and go to King Li Chuang."

Having said that, they had arrived at the entrance of the villa, and Li Xing took Master Chen Shaoyong and left first.

Here, Yang Shucheng and others entered the villa. I saw that on the mountain road in the distance, Zhao Jiazhang and his servants had already come down the mountain. Seeing my daughter return home safely, my anxious heart finally fell.

Zhao Jiazhang invited everyone to the villa. Liu Zhengyu and his son were also in the hall. The Liu and He families were feuding families. When they met, they drew their swords and planned to kill them at the same place.

Zhao Jiazhang had good and bad arguments before both parties gave up.

After finishing the meal, Liu Zhengyu saw that He Houdao had added Yang Shucheng to his side. Knowing that he was outmatched, Liu Zhengyu let it go first. He forced Zhao Jiazhang to marry his two children, but Zhao Xiaolin did not agree. Zhao Jiazhang was afraid that she would run away again, and was in trouble.

He Houdao said loudly: "If the girl doesn't want to, what are you doing? Do you still want to force me to get married?"

Liu Zhengyu said: "It has nothing to do with you. Why are you so indifferent? We have an engagement beforehand."

He Houdao said: "You Liu family have bad intentions and stole my family's sword manual."

"You are talking nonsense."

The two sides drew their swords and fought again. Zhao Jiazhang quickly dissuaded him.

At this time, Zhao Jiayu also rushed back with his apprentice Hu Liangjian. When he saw that his biological daughter Zhao Xiaolin had returned safely, he was extremely happy. When he saw that Liu Zhengyu wanted to force a marriage, he would defend his daughter and said with a change of face: "Is there any justice in forcing people to get married?"

When Liu Zhengyu saw that the other party had two more helpers, he knew that he couldn't get any advantage, but he kept pestering him because of his engagement.

Zhao Jiazhang saw that his family was at a loss, so how could he use his power to bully others? They discussed and discussed, and finally paid Liu Zhengyu's family 500 taels of silver as compensation.

Liu Zhengyu saw that the other party had a large number of people and it was difficult to continue the argument, so he had to take the money and leave angrily.

During this period, Liu Junyi was the most frustrated, Zhao Xiaolin saw her hand fly away again, and He Jinhua also saw that his character would be difficult to get close to in the future. When he left, he glanced at He Jinhua. He Jinhua turned away and did not look at him. He had to follow his father step by step out of Jinshi Villa.

Here, Zhao Jiazhang came to celebrate that his brother Zhao Jiayu finally returned home after eighteen years away from home and reunited his family. Secondly, he thanked Yang Shucheng and others for rescuing his daughter. He was very happy and insisted on letting Yang Shucheng and others live in the villa. Come down.

On this day, Yang Shucheng asked He Jinhua to go for a walk in the back hill of the villa. The two of them were walking on the mountain road. It was late autumn, the forest trees were fragrant, and the red leaves all over the mountain were burning like flames. The wind blew up and the fire burned all the way to the sky. It was a spectacular sight.

He Jinhua was wearing a plain dress, which was Zhao Xiaolin's. Although the two of them had different figures, the dress fit them perfectly. She held a red leaf in her hand, held it up to her nose and sniffed it, smelling a faint fragrance.

He Jinhua held up this red leaf, handed it to Yang Shucheng's nose, and said, "Smell it, does it smell good?"

Yang Shucheng took the red leaves and put them in front of his nose and smelled them. Sure enough, there was a delicate fragrance, especially the red leaves picked by beautiful women. The fragrance of the beautiful women was still left on their stems. Yang Shucheng couldn't stop sniffing them.

He Jinhua smiled softly, turned around and ran towards the red leaves. Her slender figure disappeared in the red leaves in an instant.

Yang Shucheng was afraid that he would not be found, so he immediately let go and chased after him. These days, his life was comfortable, and Yang Shucheng repeatedly tried to figure out the Taiqing Qigong. He felt that he was as light as a swallow, running as fast as flying in the red leaf forest, and soon saw He Jinhua standing there. Standing in front of a red leaf tree, the mountain wind blew her long hair and her clothes fluttering, like a mortal fairy.

Yang Shucheng was so excited that he hurriedly ran closer and stood in front of the fairy. He was so happy that he didn't know how to express it, so he just shouted softly: "Miss He..."

"Um……"

The two stood together without speaking. Yang Shucheng raised his head coyly and glanced at He Jinhua quickly. He Jinhua's face turned red with embarrassment. It was as bright as the red leaves, and her eyes sparkled with charming brilliance.

Yang Shucheng only felt sweet. When he lowered his head, he saw red leaves surging everywhere, singing and laughing, and flying like butterflies.

Yang Shucheng wanted to express his feelings, but he was afraid of being abrupt and abrupt, so he just didn't know what to say.

He Jinhua said: "If you look at that mountain, the scenery is even better. When we climb up, we can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery."

Yang Shucheng knew that that was where he first met Zhao Xiaolin, so he said, "Okay."

The two of them walked forward together. At this time, the sun was shining on the top of their heads. There was a slight sweat on He Jinhua's face. Yang Shucheng had already seen it. He couldn't help it and boldly stepped forward and took He Jinhua's jade hand and said, "I Pull you up the mountain."

How could He Jinhua resist? He obediently let Yang Shucheng hold his hand and walked slowly up the mountain together. Walking through the familiar mountain road, at this moment, I suddenly heard a distant shout:

"Help me..."

It was Zhao Xiaolin's voice.
