Chapter 17 Chapter One

The heavy prison door opened with the muffled sound of iron chains clashing, and more than a dozen tall and powerful warriors with spears in their hands rushed in first, and then parted to the two sides, flashing a way out.Zhou Wen and Qian Daye then walked into the prison. Both of them were dressed in green cloth plain clothes and small caps. Their attire was no different from that of ordinary people, but the difference was that their pretentious demeanor could not be covered by any casual clothes.With Zhou Wen's pale face and high cheekbones, he seemed to have a sick appearance. His whole body was thin and bony, standing there like a clothes rack. His hands were shaped like dead branches, which made people feel pity involuntarily.On the other hand, Qian Daye's face was flushed and he was full of energy. The clothes were tightly stretched on his body, and it seemed that they might burst at any moment.

There was a foul smell in the death cell, which made the two of them cover their noses and frowned relative to each other. All the prisoners here are serious criminals waiting to be executed, so the prison doors are heavy and the guards are strict. It is impossible for outsiders to take a step forward with the warrant issued by Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Although the two of them are in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, they have never been in a cell. If the task sent by the emperor was not too difficult, they would not want to come here. A jailer led the way until he came to the innermost cell and opened the door with a key, but everyone could hear that his hands were shaking.It seems that what is locked inside is not a person, but an ancient monster.The dozen or so warriors rushed to the door, raised their spears together, and walked in step by step.Zhou Wen and Qian Daye then walked into the prison door and stood in front of those warriors. It stands to reason that they are high officials in the dynasty and have a bright future, so there is really no need to take this risk.But the faces of the two were calm, and there was no panic.

In the dead silence, the jailer shouted in a trembling voice: "Master Xia... Xia... Xia... Lord Shangshu is here!" No one answered, the jailer looked at Zhou Wen with horrified eyes, saw that he had no expression, so he had to raise his voice and yelled a few more times, only to hear a lazy voice from a pile of grass in the cell: "Golden emerald feathers on the pipa, yellow orioles on the strings, advise me to go home early, and people are like flowers in the green window... who is coming, yelling, disturbing people's dreams, it is really annoying..." The voice of this man is very delicate, and the language is unexpectedly Also extremely refined.

But the jailer showed extreme panic again, but Lord Shang Shu must have some confidence here, otherwise this bowl of rice may never be eaten again, so he also raised his chest and shouted: "Shang Shu kisses Lord Shi Lang!" Come on, don’t get up yet!” The man snorted and said, “The Son of Heaven will not get on the boat, claiming that I am a fairy in a dream, and whether Shang Shu is a wolf (servant) or a dog, just look at the tail.” Zhou Wen was not angry, but smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Xia, how have you been? Your subordinate Zhou Wen is here to greet you." As soon as he finished speaking, a person jumped up from the haystack, and together with the sound of thumping, the person sat down on the ground, scratched his ears with his hands, and said: "Dirty, dirty, what is the dirtiest in the world? Official dialect and official dialect." The cell was dark all year round, so the lamp was lit all year round, and at this time, under the firelight, one could clearly see the man's hair draped over his shoulders, his face was invisible, his body was covered in tattered clothes, and the smell was unbearable. The strangest thing was that the man was glowing with black light all over his body.

It was the light of countless iron chains shining in the light. The man's neck, chest, upper arms, hands, legs, feet, waist, hips were all locked by iron chains, connected to countless iron rings on the wall. The walls are also cast iron.This is not a prison cell, it is clearly an iron cage.Don't talk about shutting down people here, even a mad cow is fine. Seeing that he was digging his ears, Zhou Wen didn't care. He seemed to know that he would do this kind of behavior, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, although the official language is dirty, it can sometimes save people's lives. You might as well listen to it." After hearing this, the man sneered, and said, "I'm afraid it's not my life, but yours." Zhou Wen's face froze, but his smile returned immediately: "People can't help themselves in the officialdom. Offending the place is also the responsibility of the subordinate officials, after all, the laws of the country cannot be violated."

The man raised his eyes to look at Zhou Wen through his messy hair, nodded slightly and said, "Your words are considered to be good to me, but you are neither humble nor overbearing. You are also a person. It's a bit interesting. Tell me, what's the matter?" What?" Zhou Wen took out a roll of yellow cloth from his arms and ordered the jailer to hand it to him.Holding the yellow cloth, the jailer took a peek at Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen's eyes turned cold, and two cold lights shot out, which made him nod his head again and again in fright. He walked over tremblingly, and put the yellow cloth in front of the man.

The man glanced at it and said, "Why don't you read it to me?" Zhou Wen coughed lightly, took out a square silk scarf from his bosom, wiped his mouth, and said, "Don't disclose important confidential matters." I'm bothering you to see it yourself." The man snorted, raised his hand and opened it with a tinkling sound, looked it over, and then waved his hand, the yellow cloth flew out, landed on the lamp, and caught fire, Zhou Wen saw Frowning slightly, he said: "Sir, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must think about it clearly." The man fell onto the grass, stretched himself, and said: "Yes, the opportunity to save Mr. Zhou is indeed Once in a lifetime. Haha."

Zhou Wen snorted lightly, and said: "Not only your life, but also the people in Taohuawu. The three lives are all on your chin. As long as you nod, these people will all die." The man listened After saying this, he suddenly became furious, and dozens of iron chains were pulled straight, clanking, and with a click, one chain broke from the middle. Many people in the prison took a few steps back in fright. Those warriors held their spears at the same time. The hands holding the guns were sweating coldly, and some people's legs began to tremble.A samurai, overwhelmed by this fear, roared wildly and stabbed with a single shot.The man looked at the shot coming from the chest, but he didn't even move, and his eyes that were almost spewing fire stared at Zhou Wen without blinking.

Seeing that the shot was about to pierce his chest, Zhou Wen suddenly moved. His hand like a dead branch was lightly raised, and the silk scarf in his hand was like a sharp knife. Cut off the iron spear from it, and raised his hand without knowing how, the warrior flew out of the prison door, and fell to the ground. Zhou Wen coughed a few times, wiped his palms with the silk scarf, and said calmly, "Mr. Xia, don't get angry. The people in Taohuawu are very good now, and we don't mean to embarrass you in the slightest." The man was angry. : "You guys are not trustworthy. Didn't you say before that as long as I surrender to the crime, I can let the people in Taohuawu go? Now you have broken your word. Could it be that you were all farting back then!"

Zhou Wendao: "We have never felt sorry for that person, but if you help this time, you will succeed. Afterwards, your sins can be pardoned, and then you can be together. Isn't it much better than waiting to die here? You think clear." The man's chest was heaving and his breathing was rapid. It took a while to calm down, and he said, "Your surname Zhou, don't play tricks. I'm not afraid of dragons and tigers' lairs. As long as you dare to touch a hair of that man, I'll tell you to lose even a hair." There are no more left." Zhou Wen said: "I understand this. In order to save that person, you can surrender yourself. This kind of courage is unmatched. It is a manly act, and I, Zhou Wen, admire it very much." The man snorted and said: "You don't need to flatter me." Zhou Wen didn't say anything more.

The man suddenly laughed a few times, and said: "If you ask me to do something, you must do as I say. Master Zhou, do you think so?" Zhou Wen nodded and said: "Yes, the Holy Majesty ordered that as long as Mr. Xia speaks, everything will be done." All the conditions can be fulfilled." The man said in one breath: "Three conditions, one, immediately prepare a table of the best shark's fin mats for me in the Wanxing Building, each dish must be made by Master's hand, and a jar of the best Good Hua Diao. Second, I want to change clothes, take a bath, shave my face, and shave my shave." Zhou Wen said: "It's easy to handle, besides these, you can also bring ten thousand taels of gold with you when you leave. I don't know what is the third requirement, sir? " The man raised his eyes to look at Zhou Wen, suddenly smiled sinisterly, and said coldly: "Three, I need someone to serve me when I take a bath, someone to pedicure, someone to wipe my back." Zhou Wen said: "This is no problem, I can find someone who serves the Holy Majesty Serve Mister." The man smiled and said: "I don't dare to be like the emperor, I only need two people to serve." Zhou Wen seemed to be aware of something, with some hesitation on his face, he asked gently: "Who is it? "The man pointed at Zhou Wen and Qian Daye, and said, "It's you and his... wife." Zhou Wen and Qian Daye glanced at each other, and Qian Daye spread his hands, expressing helplessness.He didn't have a wife, but Zhou Wen felt as if he had eaten a Coptis chinensis banquet, and he was too bitter to speak.He opened his eyes wide and looked at that person, his teeth kept rubbing against each other, the flesh on his cheeks tightened for a while, then relaxed for a while, and finally a smile appeared all over his face, but this smile was indescribably cold. Seeing the expressions of the two, the man couldn't help laughing, the laughter went straight out, resounding in every corner of the death cell, shaking the dust on the wall, and the lights in the cell couldn't help shaking. The louder the vibration, the louder it seemed that it was about to break through the prison cell and break through the clouds. Second, congratulate the groom. Blessings are like the East China Sea, and life is better than Nanshan. This day is the fiftieth birthday of King Ruyang, and God is very grateful. He opened his eyes early in the morning, and pushed a round of red sun into the sky, illuminating the half-acre lotus pond in front of King Ruyang's mansion. Fragrant, blue sky and green water, green grass and red flowers, it is a good day for birthday celebration. As soon as the sun came out of the mountain, there was an endless stream of people coming to the mansion, and the whole place was bustling with activity. Officials, local celebrities, and gentry from all over came to join in the show. The Ruyang Palace was full of traffic early in the morning, crowded and motionless. There were more than a dozen domestic servants who received the greeting cards, and they were sent in order according to the size of the official position and the degree of fame. There were also dozens of family members who opened the door and came in and out carrying gifts. It was very busy. Contrary to the entrance, as soon as the guests enter the gate, it is as if they have changed into a different world. Walking through a nine-curved water corridor, there is an elegant place in front of them. There are two large characters written on the entrance: Plum Garden.This is a personal inscription by the emperor today, and it is the inner garden of Ruyang King's palace.There is not a single guard here, but there is a sense of murderousness everywhere. Although the servants who come and go are dressed in the same clothes as those at the door, they are extremely agile in their actions and have sharp eyesight, and they will not let a suspicious person go. It was almost noon at this time, the birthday was approaching, and the birthday banquet was about to start, but there was still no sign of King Ruyang, there were not many guests in the plum garden, and there were only about twenty people who were qualified to sit here.Let alone sitting down, it is impossible for others to even meet King Ruyang.There is nothing richer than the emperor's family. This is true. There is a proverb in the city: I don't envy the house full of jade in my life, but I want to know the king of Ruyang.It can be seen that the influence of Ruyang King here. Since being able to sit here, the family background and status are undoubtedly extremely high. Among them are a few senior elders, all of whom are wearing crowns, with fluttering sleeves, looking like scholars, and some are young and handsome. , all of them are dressed in bright clothes and elegant.There are also a few high-ranking officials in the city, sitting there, they have a certain demeanor.Seeing that their appearances are different, most of the older ones are sitting quietly without looking sideways, while the younger ones look a little uneasy, as if they are about to wait for something important to happen. At this moment, only the sound of bells and ceremonies sounded, and eighteen girls in colorful clothes rushed over, holding big red birthday lamps in their hands, and arranged them in four directions with various birthday gifts. Standing behind the seat with hands behind their backs, everyone here knows that these four are the four personal guards of King Ruyang, known as Sixiang Xingjun, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, all of whom have shocking martial arts. Of course the last one to come out was King Ruyang. He is fifty years old this year. He is in the prime of his life. Years of pampering and pampering make him look like he is in his thirties. Today he is wearing a red shroud with one hundred Chinese characters for longevity embroidered with gold thread. The golden light under him was so eye-catching, it made his already fair complexion look like flawless jade. As soon as King Ruyang appeared, all the people present stood up and congratulated him in unison. King Ruyang smiled and replied, "What is the virtue and ability of this king, it is really a pleasure for everyone to honor your presence today..." He said to Everyone smiled, and everyone sat down together.A person dressed as an official said with a flattering smile: "Today is the birthday of the prince's destiny. We are so lucky to be able to congratulate the prince in person, and to see the beauty of the prince. It is a worthwhile trip." Everyone also agreed. King Ruyang laughed, and said: "I think everyone here today is handsome from Suzhou, and it can be called a 'meeting of heroes'. It really comforts my heart, it really comforts my heart. To tell you the truth, today is the king's , it’s double happiness, one is my king’s birthday, and the other is an announcement, which is the result of choosing a son-in-law for my little daughter.” As soon as these words came out, the faces of the young children in the seat were all reddish, and they seemed a little uneasy, but they also looked eager to try, but when they met each other, they were full of hostility.King Ruyang didn't look at them and ordered the banquet to open. At this moment, a servant in Jinyi approached King Ruyang, handed him a letter of greeting, and whispered something in his ear, King Ruyang glanced at it, frowned slightly, and said: "If there is This matter?" The servant nodded, and King Ruyang asked, "How many people?" The servant said, "Two." King Ruyang said, "Okay, please come in." Not long after, the servant led two people in. The person behind seemed to be a follower, and he didn't dare to raise his face, as if he had never seen such a big scene, but the person in front was striding forward with a nonchalant expression.As soon as this person entered the garden, everyone's eyes were fixed on his face, and for a moment, everyone turned pale. There are many young and handsome sons, elegant and outstanding scholars, and brave and brave knights here, but this man has gathered the advantages of all these people. He is not only handsome, elegant, and brave, but also has a little frivolity and arrogance that they lack. All these collections come together to form this most eye-catching visitor.And what he said surprised the celebrities present. The young master bowed his hands in front of Ruyang's throne, and then stood with his hands behind his back, with a very conceited smile on his face.King Ruyang said: "Is this Mr. Xia Liangmei?" The visitor smiled and said, "It's Liangmei, the prince must have seen my letter of worship." King Ruyang nodded and said: "Your words are astonishing, It states that today's birthday gift to congratulate the king is 200,000 taels of gold, I don't know if this statement is true or not." The people in the audience were all horrified when they heard this. Although they were either rich or noble, they didn't have the power to offer two hundred thousand taels of gold as a birthday gift.They couldn't help but look at this Mr. Xia, showing expressions of disbelief. Xia Liangmei said: "That's right, I did write down that the birthday gift of 200,000 taels of gold is not bad at all." The crowd became more and more amazed, thinking that this person made such a big statement, but they didn't know where the 200,000 taels of gold was placed. Where, King Ruyang smiled and said: "Since this is the case, of course Mr. Xia can be my guest, come and watch." He didn't even ask whether the two hundred thousand taels of gold was real or not. The people in the seat were stunned, even Xia Liangmei couldn't help being startled, and said: "Why didn't the lord ask, where are my birthday presents? Everyone can see that I can't carry so much gold with me." King Ruyang looked at him, nodded slightly, and said: "I don't need to ask, since the young master dares to say this, he must not be an ordinary person. I think you are worth two hundred thousand taels of gold." Xia Liangmei smiled and said: "I'm not worth so much, but my birthday gift is definitely worth it. I have two gifts for my lord's birthday." After hearing this, King Ruyang said, "Two gifts? Your lord must be I found a rare treasure in the world." Xia Liang smiled and said: "Yes, the first gift is worth one hundred thousand taels of gold, and it is the only one in the world, there is no other semicolon." King Ruyang lowered his body and asked: "What is that?" Xia Liangmei also took a step forward, covering half of his mouth with his hand, as if he was afraid that others would hear it, but his voice was heard by everyone present. Everyone could hear clearly, it was four words: "Your head!" As soon as these four words were uttered, there was a sudden change in the field, an earth-shaking change. A tabletop suddenly flew up out of nowhere and hit King Ruyang, who knew that it was split into seven or eight pieces as soon as it reached the midair, and flew towards the guards on both sides, and the ones who split the tabletop were a few gentry guests among the guests.At the same time, the servant behind Xia Liangmei suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon, he flicked his arm, and a short-handled mace was pierced through him, and he was also like a lone wolf, Shoot at King Ruyang. There was a moment of chaos in the arena, those gangsters overturned the table, pulled out their hidden weapons, and rushed forward, but were blocked by the servants, but the servants had no time to stop the servant.But there are still four guards behind King Ruyang, and they are like a human wall, protecting King Ruyang. Liu Xuanwu opened his hand, and the tortoise-scale shield stood up in front of him, trying to block the blow, but the follower seemed to have expected it, his body twisted like a snake, the wolf teeth pierced through the air and folded, and he had already bypassed Liu Xuanwu. Suzaku was about to fly out of the fire dragon mark, but was messed up by the flying knife shot by the follower's left hand, unable to save himself, Yan Baihu roared, and smashed the eighteen-section tiger-tail steel whip on the head, but was entangled by an assassin's snake whip Fang Qinglong, who was at the back, yelled, and his hand was like a dragon's claw clawing at the wolf's fangs. He wanted to use the eagle claws he had practiced hard for twenty years to strengthen his dragon's claws and intercept the blow. He really deserves to be the head of the four guards, this shot really worked, the wolf teeth pierced into his palm, and didn't even cut the oily skin, Fang Qinglong groaned, his hands were like steel tongs, the wolf teeth could not be pierced anymore Advance half a minute, but the attendant didn't even expect this move, with a movement of his finger, the sharp blade piercing the front part of the wolf's fangs flew out of the handle, and shot at King Ruyang who was close at hand. In the blink of an eye, this person broke through the resistance of the four guards, trying to stab King Ruyang down. This process was like lightning, and it was completed in the blink of an eye twice. Before King Ruyang stood up from the chair, the wolf tooth pierced with a frightening light had already flown over, passed through King Ruyang's body, and passed through the wood. When he came out, he actually nailed King Ruyang to the chair. King Ruyang opened his eyes wide, staring at the deadly sharp blade, and fell dead in the chair without even snorting. There was chaos in the arena, and the four guards' eyes were red. This was a great insult to them. The four of them joined forces and failed to block the assassin's blow, allowing the opponent to take the head of the general among the heavy guards.Yan Baihu yelled violently, his arm became half thick, and he pulled the assassin who was using the snake whip upside down, hit the rockery, and smashed his head into pieces.Sun Suzaku's fire dragon target also hit two assassins, and the two assassins burst into flames and fell to the ground dead.And Liu Xuanwu and Fang Qinglong intercepted that follower.The servant didn't have any weapons, he didn't love to fight, his body slipped, he went out of the circle like a fish, he glanced at King Ruyang, seeing that he was dead, he whistled, turned and flew up the courtyard wall. As soon as he raised his head, he met Xia Liangmei head-on. After Xia Liangmei said those four words, she flew onto the courtyard wall, riding the wall to watch the tigers fight leisurely, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, since everyone's goal was on King Ruyang, so there was no People will take care of him.Now the servant jumped up the wall, nodded slightly to him, and was about to jump off the wall, but at this moment, everyone below saw that the servant suddenly shook his body, covered his throat with his hand, but still Unable to hide the gushing blood, he pointed at Xia Liang's eyebrows, and fell to the wall without saying a word.His throat had been slit. Two more assassins saw each other and shouted: "You are a traitor..." Before finishing speaking, one was shot into a hedgehog by the rushing crossbowman, and the other was caught by Fang Qinglong and fell down. On the ground, can no longer get up.Fang Qinglong grabbed the man with one hand, and shouted: "Where are you assassins from?" The man let out a miserable laugh, and suddenly gritted his teeth, a stream of black blood flowed out of his mouth, and stopped moving.It turned out that they had hidden poison in their mouths in advance. Xia Liangmei jumped off the wall and approached slowly, the guards of King Ruyang surrounded him tightly with swords drawn and swords drawn.Xia Liangmei didn't even look at it, she took off a thin mask from the dead man's face, handed it to Fang Qinglong, and said: "These people put on their faces after killing the Lord." Fang Qinglong Looking at him, he said, "So you are the one who delivered the letter to the prince." Xia Liangmei took out a folding fan from her waist, and unfolded it casually, revealing five big characters in lacquered gold on the black-bottomed fan, "The moon is in the water" .He smiled softly: "Yes, it's me." Fang Qinglong looked at him, and suddenly asked: "Why did you do this? Why did you betray your companions and friends?" Xia Liang shook her head and said: "Big mistake, these people are not my friends at all. They are not worthy of being my companions either, as for why I did this, you invite King Ruyang to come, and I will tell him." Fang Qinglong sneered, and said: "My lord is here, if you have the ability If you recognize him as an old man, the prince will give you a chance." Xia Liangmei laughed loudly, and said: "Interesting and interesting, so everyone here may be Ruyang King?" Fang Qinglong nodded: "Yes, even I may be Ruyang King." Xia Liang Mei patted him on the shoulder, and said: "It's a pity, you are not, with the status of King Ruyang, you don't know how to practice dragon claws at all, and you don't know how to fight with people of low status. Even if King Ruyang is really here, he won't do anything." Fang Qinglong smiled: "Then you should recognize it. It seems that the only people who haven't done anything here are these beautiful girls." Xia Liangmei shook her head again "Prince Ruyang is not a prodigal son, so it is absolutely impossible to mess around, and neither are these girls." Fang Qinglong frowned, and said, "Then do you already know who the prince is?" Xia Liangmei shook her folding fan lightly, smiling He glanced around, smiled for the last time, pointed to the 'Ruyang King' who died on the chair and said: "This 'Prince' is very handsome, but a true hero..." He pointed to the brocade-clothed servant who led the way with him, and said: "The true hero is this man!" At that time, everyone present focused their attention on this man. The Jinyi servant opened his eyes wide, pointed at his nose, and said, "Me?" Xia Liang raised his eyebrows at him, and said, "My lord, peace!" The Jinyi servant smiled faintly, and said, "Why do you think so?" It must be me?" Xia Liangmei laughed loudly, and said: "The king's armor, the dragon walks like a tiger, between glances, majestic and majestic, if you are not the king of Ruyang, I will just buy a piece of tofu and kill you." The servant in Jinyi looked at Xia Liangmei, and suddenly sneered, which then turned into a hearty laugh. Amidst the laughter, he turned around slightly.Fang Qinglong and other four guards gathered together, Fang Qinglong took off his clothes, Yan Baihu held the crown, Sun Zhuque put on his belt, and Liu Xuanwu changed his boots. That "King of Ruyang" looks exactly the same, but his face is extravagant, and his eyes reveal an extraordinary look of domineering. Everyone present at this time had already guessed that this King Ruyang was the real one. King Ruyang signaled to carry away the corpses on the ground and clean up the courtyard, and the rest of the guests sat down again.Now there are no more people pretending to be assassins. Two officials were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hid under the table for a long time. Don't keep them, let them go. At this time, there were some young guests in the seats, and some young men just fought with the assassins, and they seemed to be desperate, which made Ruyang King very happy, and ordered each person to reward three thousand taels of silver as a thank you. King Ruyang looked around for a while, and finally his gaze fell on Xia Liangmei, and said: "It was the letter you and I sent, saying that someone will assassinate this king today?" Xia Liangmei said: "Yes. If it wasn't for me, wouldn't you You might think of using a substitute. So I saved your life. Of course your head is worth one hundred thousand taels of gold." King Ruyang said: "My head is worth a thousand pieces of gold." Xia Liangmei smiled lightly and shook her head, saying: "It's only worth one hundred thousand taels to me." Yan Baihu and Sun Zhuque raised their eyebrows at that moment, and Yan Baihu said: "Don't think you're crazy because you have merit, even if you don't report the letter, the prince will still have something Take precautions." Xia Liangmei didn't seem to hear it, she fluttered her palms to the left and right, and said, "I'm talking to the lord, but where are the flies buzzing. I don't know what to do." A glance frightened. King Ruyang said: "Mr. Xia must have been sent by someone, so come and make things difficult for this king." Xia Liang folded his eyebrows and shook his fan lightly, saying: "I am not sent by someone, but entrusted by others, no one can send me I do anything. I never listen to anyone's orders." King Ruyang said: "Since it is entrusted by others, it should be a matter of loyalty. Why did Mr. Xia fight back?" Xia Liangmei didn't answer, just Looking down at the sky, he said softly: "The Buddha said, 'Don't say it, don't say it'." Sun Zhuque sneered, and said: "I'm afraid all this is just a cover, Mr. Xia uses this to gain the trust of the prince, and we can do it later. Assassination, then the substitute will not be missed by mistake." Xia Liang's brows did not change, and he said: "I know that the prince is surrounded by loyal people, but I don't know that there are such small-minded people, if I want to kill the prince..." When he said this, he suddenly fell on his body, The four guards have long been ready to go, they failed to intercept the assassin last time, this time they must not miss again. But as soon as they started, they saw that Xia Liangmei didn't attack King Ruyang, but rushed towards a person in the seat, and grabbed it with her hand.The man was caught off guard, and only yelled: "Ah..." Before the voice fell, Xia Liangmei suddenly folded her body halfway, and slammed her back against King Ruyang. Seeing that he didn't attack King Ruyang, the four guards couldn't help being stunned, and their bodies froze for a moment, but at this moment, Xia Liangmei's body was in front of King Ruyang, he turned around, with a Gently pressed Ruyang Wang's heart with his hand. Everyone was dazzled for a moment, no one could see how Xia Liangmei came to Ruyang King's side, if Xia Liangmei had a knife in his hand at this time, Ruyang King would die a second time, this time it was real. The courtyard was suddenly dead quiet, and Fang Qinglong let out an exclamation: "Momo Qinghan movement." The four guards were all taken aback, this kind of movement has not appeared in Jianghu for many years, since the death of "Momo Qinghan", this kind of movement has been lost for a long time, who would have thought that it would be used by this person . The people in the courtyard drew their swords in their hands and surrounded them again.King Ruyang remained calm, without a trace of panic on his face, he waved his hands, telling everyone to back down, Xia Liangmei also retracted his palms, and backed away eight feet.The four guards were all ashamed, this was the second time they missed today. King Ruyang looked at Xia Liangmei kindly, and said: "Sir, you didn't come here to assassinate me, so why?" Xia Liangmei asked back, "What day is it today?" Fiftieth birthday." Xia Liang said with eyebrows: "Well, since it's the prince's birthday, of course I'm here to celebrate it. Besides, I've already presented my first gift." King Ruyang smiled pleasantly: "Then what is the second gift? Is it as precious as this king's head?" Xia Liang said with eyebrows: "At least in the eyes of the prince, this gift is more precious." King Ruyang said "What's that?" Xia Liang smiled slightly, and said, "That's - your daughter." King Ruyang was taken aback, and said: "Could it be that someone dares to assassinate my daughter today?" He was not afraid of danger, but he was very afraid of his daughter being hurt.It is indeed a fistful heart.A young man in the seat stood up straight, cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, I'll go and see my sister." King Ruyang nodded and said, "It's best for my nephew to go." The young man was about to move, but Xia Liangmei stopped him , The boy raised his brows and said, "What do you mean?" Xia Liang said, "You don't need to look, she's fine. I didn't say someone was going to assassinate her." King Ruyang said, "Then you birthday gift..." Xia Liangmei shook her folding fan lightly, walked a few steps carelessly, and asked: "You are a prince, if you marry your daughter, I'm afraid the makeup will not cost you one hundred thousand taels of gold." King Ruyang said: "Hmph, even if you marry me again Adding a million taels is not as good as my daughter." Xia Liang smiled and said: "Then you can save the one hundred thousand taels of gold." King Ruyang said: "What do you mean?" Xia Liang waved his eyebrows, The folding fan was turned upside down, and the five big characters on the other side appeared "Flower Fragrance Covers Clothes". He smiled and said, "I will marry your daughter. And I don't want half of the dowry." When he said this, everyone present was stunned. Everyone looked at him intently, with unusual expressions in their eyes, some were surprised, some were annoyed, some laughed, some sighed, sighing that this person might If you can't get out of the gate, you will be pierced by a sword. The person who wanted to pierce Xia Liangmei's heart with a sword was naturally that young man, his eyes were like two fiery snakes, and he circled Xia Liangmei for a long time before he sneered and said, "Only you are worthy of saying this." By the way, you know what this place is, it's not your fire pit, country bumpkin." Xia Liangmei didn't even look at him, just stared at King Ruyang, who also found it incredible, pointing at the young man, said : "My nephew is the son of Lu Chaoqun, the general of Fuguo. He is called Lu Qingdi. Since ancient times, he has been born out of the tiger. Qingdi's character and talent are first-class, and my little girl, childhood sweetheart, and I I also intended to marry my daughter to him early in the morning, Mr. Xia, how can you be sure that you can win against him? Although you saved this king's life, I still can't favor you in this matter." Xia Liangmei's self-confidence is frightening: "You don't need to show yourself, I can't get what I want, but now, I just want one thing, I want you to be my father-in-law Lao Taishan..." Lu Qingdi never Having never been insulted like this, he rushed to Xia Liangmei, grabbed his clothes with one hand, and said angrily: "How can you snatch Xiao He from me? You are not even worthy to carry her shoes. If you don't get out now, I will I want you to crawl out." Xia Liang frowned and said, "How can Xiao He like you with such a fiery temper? Ah, Xiao He, as soon as I heard the name, I knew she must be a A very gentle, very pure, very refined girl, with moon-like eyebrows, a slight smile with dimples in her eyes, singing little words in a low voice..." Suddenly he turned his face again, and shouted: "I'm going to follow you who don't know how to be tender." The wild thorn hedge, the suffering also killed her..." As soon as he said this, a red cloud suddenly fell in midair, followed by a faint fragrance, which made people fascinated. The red cloud turned into a girl with big eyes and a pointed face , she was wearing a bright red silk satin cloak, a pink tube top on her upper body, revealing her snow-white shoulders and half of her back, her lower body was matched with a water-red pleated long skirt, and a pair of purple-red ground tiger fast boots on her feet. Embroidered mandarin ducks play in the water, what a daughter of a royal family, a rouge and a strong horse. As soon as the girl came to the courtyard, she heard King Ruyang shout: "He'er, look at how you dress, you don't know how to look good, and you still don't retreat." Xiao He made a face at his father and said: " Do you want me to be wrapped tightly? The heat is too hot, if you still want your daughter, don’t care what clothes I wear. Do you think so, Brother Lu..." She got tired of coming to Lu Qingdi , grabbed his arm with one hand, and shook it gently, but his eyes glanced at Xia Liang's eyebrows contemptuously. King Ruyang shook his head at the guests present, and said angrily: "This child is spoiled by her mother." The guests all smiled slightly, and someone said: "Miss is so proud that she doesn't let her eyebrows down. It's a tiger father without a dog daughter, and when he grows up in the future, I'm afraid that Hua Mulan and Liang Hongyu will be behind him." Seeing Xiao He, Lu Qingdi's heart flew out of his stomach early, and seeing her so intimate with him, he immediately burst into pride, sneered at Xia Liang's eyebrows, raised his head, and looked unattainable.When King Ruyang saw it, he said to Lu Qingdi: "This girl can still listen to you, nephew, take her outside to play, don't let her embarrass me here." Lu Qingdi said loudly: "Obey. "He bowed his hands to King Ruyang and went out proudly with Xiao He.When Xiao He walked past Xia Liangmei, she glanced at him, raised her nose, and smiled at Lu Qingdi lightly: "Where is a toad jumping up, it smells so bad!" Lu Qingdi followed, "Don't underestimate this toad. Toad, he thought he was a phoenix." The two walked out laughing, and the conversation could still be heard: "Sister He, let me take you to eat old Huaiyang's shark's fin..." "It's not good to eat shark's fin again. Eat, don't eat..." King Ruyang coughed twice, and said to Xia Liangmei: "My daughter's words and deeds are rude, and she is not good enough to serve a gentleman. I think you don't want me..." Xia Liang raised her brows and said: "What I said, never Take it back, Miss is smart and sweet, innocent and pure, and she has a temper for someone Xia." Ru Yang Wang looked slightly unhappy, and said: "Although my daughter is still in her boudoir, she is not without someone she likes. You are really sure to let her Fall in love with you?" Xia Liang smiled and said: "I didn't let her fall in love with me, but let her--fall in love with me." Someone in the seat was sneering contemptuously, King Ruyang's face became more and more unhappy, and he snorted coldly, saying: "Since you are so sure, this king will set a time limit for you, um—how about ten days?"人都掩口而笑，他们知道这是汝阳王在难为夏凉眉，好让他知难而退。但夏凉眉却摇摇头，道：“十天之期嘛，有些长了，我如何能等得十天。”汝阳王一怔，道：“那你说呢？”夏凉眉道：“三天，只要你能让我在府中住上三天，我就可以尽获小姐芳心。”汝阳王看着他，过了一会儿才道：“如果你失败了呢？” 夏凉眉连眉头也不皱：“我若失败了，就一头撞死在门口的石狮子上，断不食言。” 在座的人都怔住了，他们怎么也看不出，这个年轻人为何有如此的信心，要知道，得江山易，得女人心难。况且在夏凉眉与小荷之间，还隔了吕青迪与汝阳王这两座大山，就算他能翻过两座山，小荷这样的女孩子，又怎么能爱上一个从没交往过的人？ 只有一个结论，夏凉眉是个疯子。
