Invincible son

Chapter 949 948 [One Life Sword]

Nancheng, Ping An Square.

When it is warm and cold, the weather is capricious. It is obvious that yesterday the sun was as warm as summer, but today it is cold and windy.

Pedestrians on the streets and alleys are in a hurry, and their faces are full of vicissitudes. This is also the most common crowd in Nancheng, because they have no background and no influence, and can only rely on their own hands to make a living.

Therefore, when Jiang Wanli walked into Ping'an Square wearing a white cotton robe, he did not attract the attention of passers-by. Old farmers like him can be seen everywhere in the workshop.

"Just ahead." The young man beside Jiang Wanli said softly, his tone seemed very friendly, with a bit of natural friendliness.

Jiang Wanli remained silent, and followed him to the door of a residential house at the end of the alley.

The young man stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, your family lives here. Although it looks poor here, there are simple people on the left and right, and there will be no troubles. Live in your family Before, we had cleaned the house clean, and added some durable furniture and necessities such as rice flour oil."

Jiang Wanli's heart moved slightly, and he tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "I thought it was an arrangement of the Taishitai Pavilion. I thought that the officials there would change their temper and treat the poor and powerless people so kindly."

Back then on Taiping Street in the Southern Zhou capital, he was coerced by Lan Zhiqiu and had to make a move. In the end, he gave up his ultimate move and greeted death with a seemingly brilliant attack.Qian Bing originally wanted to catch him alive, so he left some leeway when he noticed his strangeness. The sword only left a scar on his neck.

During the time with Qian Bing, Jiang Wanli was like a mute who could not speak, until news came from the north that his family was found and rescued by Taishitai Pavilion.

He still remembers that day when the plum blossoms in Puqi city bloomed proudly, as if instilling the courage to survive into his body, and then he agreed to Qian Bing to identify Lan Zhiqiu.

The young man looked at the complicated eyes of the middle-aged man, and said frankly: "Brother Jiang, the officials of Taishitai Pavilion have put in a lot of effort this time, if they hadn't taken action to find your family, no matter how well we cleaned up this yard , is of no use."

Jiang Wanli sighed: "Yes, what you said is correct, but I don't think Taishitai Pavilion needs the rewards of a small person like me. Xu Le, tell me the truth, what is Marquis Pei going to ask me to do?"

Xu Le shook his head and said: "Master Hou said, you didn't really want to assassinate him at the beginning, so you didn't owe him anything at all. Taishitai Pavilion is mainly responsible for helping you find your family. As for this small courtyard and your identification of Lan Zhi Compared with Qiu's contribution, it is really nothing to mention. If you want, you can continue to return to Xiangyun as a guard. It's okay if you don't want to. From now on, stay with your family, buy some fertile land and live a stable life, and don't do it in the hands of others. Knife."

He took out a purse from his arms, which contained 500 taels of silver bills, and stuffed it into Jiang Wanli's hands without any explanation, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, you should know what Master Hou is like. These words are definitely not a temptation or persecution. Master Hou also Said, the world is difficult, it is not easy for everyone, it is a great blessing to be able to stay away from those grievances and struggles, I hope you can cherish it."

Before Jiang Wanli could refuse, Xu Le turned around and left. He hurriedly shouted, "Brother, stop."

Xu Le didn't stop, and said sincerely: "Brother Jiang, we used to get along well in Xiangyun, so don't make things difficult for me. You have to keep this money no matter what, otherwise I won't be able to do business with Lord Hou."

Jiang Wanli hesitated to speak, looking at Xu Le's figure walking away quickly, he could only let out a sigh in the end.

He turned around and walked to the door of this residential house. When he raised his hand to knock, his right hand froze in front of him.

It's not that this swordsman who has understood the true meaning of swordsmanship is too timid to be close to home, but that the door is suddenly opened from inside.

Looking at the face in front of him that was stained by the years, Jiang Wanli felt that there were countless words in his heart, but they were all blocked in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

A woman in her 30s stood inside the door. She showed an expression of disbelief, her eyes were flushed, and she said in a trembling voice, "Wanli, is it really you?"

Jiang Wanli said guiltily, "It's me."

He looked at his wife, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry."

"It's good that you come back, it's good that you can come back, come home quickly." Wiping her tears, the woman pulled Jiang Wanli in.

The windows of the house were bright and clean, and there were three children in their teens standing side by side, shouting crisply: "Father!"

Jiang Wanli walked over and patted their heads one by one. Thousands of words could only be turned into an apologetic smile after all.

After dinner, after the children are asleep, the husband and wife can calm down and have a conversation.

"Although you have been away for four years, I always believed that you would come back." His wife leaned on his shoulder, her voice was very soft.

Jiang Wanli's mind recalled Lan Yu's original promise that as long as he honestly worked for him for five years, he would let him go and let him reunite with his family. do not accept.He didn't expect the world to be so treacherous. He thought he would die, but he survived by luck.Before five years had passed, he met his wife and children.

The root of all this is the young Zhongshanhou.

Thinking of the 500 taels of silver in his arms, Jiang Wanli sighed: "We will leave the capital in a few days and go back to our hometown to buy some fields. I...I promise you that I will never leave again."

When he was young, he aspired to be the number one swordsman in the world. Even after marrying a wife and having children, he did not change his mind. Therefore, he often traveled outside, looking for famous masters to compete with each other in order to improve his level.If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have fallen for those people's tricks, and even affected his own family, and since then he would have been forced to become an eagle dog under the powerful family.

The past is so unbearable to look back on.

The wife was a little surprised. She never thought that her husband would one day be content with ordinary years, so she asked, "Wan Li, what happened to you all these years? Who are those bad guys who arrested me and the children?" origin?"

Jiang Wanli was silent for a moment, and then started from the source of the story. He didn't finish telling this humiliating and tortuous past until all was silent.

The wife was obviously fascinated by what she heard. She stared into Jiang Wanli's eyes and said softly, "Wanli, do whatever you want."

Jiang Wanli was slightly startled, shook his head and said, "I've said it before, I just want to spend a peaceful life with you from now on."

The wife said gently: "I am your wife, don't you understand your temperament? You can survive, my children and I can see the light of day and settle down here, and you have the 500 taels of silver in your arms. It's all because of that Marquis of Zhongshan. If you are not allowed to meet him, I know you will never feel at ease in your life."

Jiang Wanli sighed softly, and hugged his wife in his arms, and the two cuddled together, just like back then.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhongshan Hou Mansion, in the side hall of the front yard.

Pei Yue first glanced at Ye Qi next to him, and then said to Jiang Wanli who was on the guest seat: "This is my wife Ye Qi, she heard that I want to see you, and she was worried that you would hurt others, so she came with me Back then in the Southern Zhou capital, I almost died by your sword, that's why she has such worries, I hope you don't mind."

Ye Qi never compromised Pei Yue's dignity in front of outsiders. Hearing this, he still remained calm, and looked calmly at the ordinary-looking strange man with some scrutiny.

Jiang Wanli cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou is indeed honest."

Pei Yue smiled slightly, knowing that this person was not good at words, so he took the initiative to ask: "Why did you ask to see me today? Is the arrangement at the house not proper, or did you come here to say goodbye to me?"

Jiang Wanli got up and saluted, "Master Hou, I would like to do the work of a dog and a horse, please don't dislike me."

Pei Yue froze for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "I've already said that you have helped me a lot by identifying Lan Zhiqiu. You don't owe me anything, but I haven't done enough. Besides, it's not easy for you I just escaped from the control of Marquis Xiongwu, there is no need to jump into this pit of fire like me again."

Jiang Wanli bowed his head and insisted, "Master Hou, please agree."

Pei Yue could only get up and walk over to help him up, and said with emotion: "Old Jiang, you are an old-fashioned and upright Jiang Hu person, not suitable for those dark jobs, otherwise you would not keep your hands from me that day. There is no lack of loyalty around me. There are many subordinates, and there are many masters among them. To be honest, I have never done a good deed in my life, and I have done a good deed with great difficulty. How can I live up to my words? You can live with peace of mind, and you don’t have to go through the muddy water again.”

Jiang Wanli shook his head, and said earnestly: "Master Hou, since I'm from the Jianghu, I can't even throw away the four words of knowing kindness and repaying."

Pei Yue looked distressed, and looked back at Ye Qi, only to see her nod her head slightly.

After thinking for a while, Pei Yue asked: "If you do things for me, what will happen to my family? We can't always be separated again."

Jiang Wanli thought it over and said: "Master Hou misunderstood, I don't want to be Lord Hou's subordinate, I just came here today to do a very difficult thing for Master Hou, so as to repay Master Hou's kindness."

Pei Yue suddenly found this man like an old farmer very interesting, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Wanli raised his head slightly, his gaze at this moment was as sharp as a sharp knife, and he said in a deep voice, "I have a sword, and I will kill one person."

The moment he raised his head, Ye Qi came to Pei Yue's side.

Pei Yue raised his hand to signal her not to be nervous, and then asked, "Whoever is?"

Jiang Wanli replied, "Yes."

Pei Yue and Ye Qi felt the aura of this person at the same time. Seeing that the other party was so persistent, he nodded and said: "Okay, but I have one extra request for you."

Jiang Wanli said, "Master Hou, please tell me."

Pei Yue raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, solemnly saying, "Alive."

The murderous look in Jiang Wanli's eyes gradually dissipated. Looking at the sincere smile on this handsome face, a warm feeling surged in his heart again, and he cupped his hands and said, "I will keep it in my heart. No matter when and where, as long as Hou Master needs to take action, please send someone to Ping An Square to inform you."

He was still as unsmiling as usual, and after saluting, he turned and left.

Pei Yue looked at his receding back, and murmured: "A man from the rivers and lakes..."
