The earth paste was thick, and when spring thunder struck, all things would happen.
It was drizzling, and it was close to dusk. On the official road connecting Yanzhi Prefecture and Bishan County, three horses galloped. They finally made it to Wheel Street before dinner time. The three horses slowly traveled on the slightly muddy street and finally arrived at a secluded courtyard after a few turns. The three dismounted. Lu Yunzhang, who had the Large Frost Saber on his back, had a suspicious look on his face. He didn't know why Yu Dilong wanted to come to this godforsaken place. When his master said that they would return to Liangzhou, this guy's face fell. He went back to his room and delayed for a long time. Through the door, he said that he had eaten something bad and asked Lu Yunzhang to accompany his master. Lu Yunzhang was immediately amused. With Yu Dilong's internal strength, even if he swallowed swords and knives, he wouldn't get sick. Lu Yunzhang teased him, "Could it be that you're pregnant?" In the past, his eldest senior brother, who couldn't take a joke, would have used his fists to compare notes with him. This time, however, there was no reaction. Then, for some reason, his master said that they would go to Bishan County first. Yu Dilong immediately became lively and ran to the stables. He then took the horse and mounted it in one go. The Shitaki-in door was made of reed stalks. If Lu Yunzhang casually pushed it, it would open. However, after Yu Dilong tied the horse with familiarity, he solemnly straightened his clothes at the door and patted the rain stains on his shoulder. Only then did he seriously knock on the door. Soon, Lu Yunzhang saw the door slowly open. A woman in plain clothes walked out. Lu Yunzhang whispered, "Yu Dilong, is that your mother?"
Yu Dilong was annoyed and subconsciously blurted out, "It's your mother!"
He probably felt that if Auntie Pei became Lu Yunzhang's mother, then Lu Yunzhang's ancestors would be too proud. How was this scolding? It was clearly praising him. Yu Dilong quickly pulled a long face and said, "Don't be so cheeky. Call her Auntie Pei with me later. I don't care about other times, but if you don't behave properly today, I will really beat you up. "
Lu Yunzhang rolled his eyes, but he soon couldn't shift his eyes away. Goodness gracious, this Big Sister was truly beautiful. However, Lu Yunzhang quickly lowered his gaze. He wasn't a simple-minded fool. He had been at the bottom of the Martial Emperor City in the East Sea for so many years. Even though he was young, he was experienced. Even if he used his butt to guess, he would know that this absolute beauty was their Master's … something. Following that, the elder sister's words and actions made Lu Yunzhang look at her in a different light. Who was his master? Putting aside the fact that he was the most powerful vassal king in the Liyang Dynasty, he had obtained the title of the world's no.1 expert after spending a few years in the Martial World. Lu Yunzhang even heard that the Purple Clothed Xuanyuan, the only female Martial World Alliance Chief in the past few hundred years, was only his Master's follower. However, this woman behind the tattered wooden door wasn't in a hurry to remove the door bolt. She had a cold expression and glanced at Hsu Fengnian with a faint smile. It was better not to smile. Even Lu Yunzhang felt a mysterious killing intent when he looked at her. She then said, "Yo, what a rare guest."
Lu Yunzhang, who was in admiration, almost couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. He was thinking that this was definitely a heroine! Furthermore, she was a true heroine who didn't care about worldly affairs but had top-notch martial arts! Otherwise, who in the world would have the strength and courage to give his Master the cold shoulder? Yu Dilong held back his laughter, seemingly happy to see his Master suffer. Hsu Fengnian coughed and waited for a moment. Seeing that she had no intention of opening the door, he said awkwardly, "I was a little busy. By the way, have you eaten?"
Pei Nanwei ignored him. At this moment, Yu Dilong stretched his neck and smiled brightly. "Aunt Pei."
Pei Nanwei smiled knowingly and opened the door for the three of them. She rubbed Yu Dilong's head. "You seem to have grown taller."
Yu Dilong chuckled. The four of them walked into the house together. Lu Yunzhang looked around furtively but couldn't see anything special. It was just a very ordinary Beiliang family's house. There was a faint green vegetable garden in the corner and even a simple chicken coop. Yu Dilong kicked Lu Yunzhang. Lu Yunzhang whispered, "What are you doing?"
Yu Dilong glared at him. Lu Yunzhang was stunned for a moment before he quickly squeezed out a smile. "Aunt Pei, my name is Lu Yunzhang. I'm Master's eldest disciple."
After returning from the gourd, Yu Dilong, who had been carrying the cold saber on his back, expressionlessly raised his hand to grab the hilt. Lu Yunzhang, who didn't dare to risk his life with Yu Dilong, hurriedly said with a smile, "Sorry, sorry. I'm Master's last disciple. Yu Dilong is my eldest senior brother. Master has another disciple called Wang Sheng. She's my second senior sister. "
Pei Nanwei smiled and nodded.
After entering the house, Pei Nanwei went to the kitchen to make some vegetables for the three of them. The four of them sat around the table with a stool each. Hsu Fengnian slowly picked up his chopsticks.
Pei Nanwei asked, "When are we leaving?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled bitterly. "You're chasing me away just like that?"
Pei Nanwei was silent for a moment. She suddenly frowned and said, "Aren't you still the registrar of Bishan County? How come you don't receive your salary? I went to the county office after the Lantern Festival. The Household Secretary said that you don't need to go to the office for roll call anymore. Later, I heard that the county magistrate and the county governor communicated and wanted to replace the registrar with a scholar from outside the county. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled. "It's not right to occupy the latrine but not take a shit. My salary is …"
Realizing that Pei Nanwei was staring at him, Hsu Fengnian slapped his chopsticks and immediately changed his tune. He pretended to be angry and said, "Preposterous! Isn't this bullying? I'll find a chance to go to the county office to reason things out. "
Pei Nanwei said, "We'll go after dinner."
Hsu Fengnian carefully asked, "There's no extra money at home?"
Pei Nanwei said indifferently, "In order to live, who would complain about having more money?"
Yu Dilong, who was born a poor child, had a deep expression on his face. He nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. Aunt Pei, you're right. In a moment, Master and I will go to the Bishan County office to ask for your salary. If you don't give it to us … "
Pei Nanwei smiled and said, "Speak properly. Don't fight."
Yu Dilong nodded vigorously. He looked at Hsu Fengnian and said solemnly, "Master, in Beiliang, don't we get rewarded for military service? The money outside the gourd belongs to the big guys and doesn't count as mine. Why don't you give me ten taels of silver in advance and I'll make up for it later on the battlefield? I'll leave the money with Aunt Pei first. "
Hsu Fengnian kicked his stupid disciple under the table. He smiled helplessly and said, "I don't have any money on me."
Yu Dilong didn't give up and said, "Didn't we take two jars of chess pieces from the county capital? There's also a pawnshop on Luolu Street. I think they're quite valuable. Why don't you give me forty or fifty pieces and I'll pawn them for ten taels of silver first?"
Hsu Fengnian touched his forehead and sighed softly. This little prodigal son, the two jujube wooden jars with one hundred and eighty pieces each. Whether it was the frozen fish brain black chess piece or the snow white white chess piece, in terms of material, not to mention ten taels of silver, they wouldn't even be sold for ten taels of gold. Moreover, this kind of antique was the same as collecting rare editions of books. It was very particular about whether one liked it or not. Moreover, this was the first imperial tribute of West Chu's palace. God knows if it was the favorite of some chess piece in the past. It was even possible that State Preceptor Li Mibi or Cao Changqing had used it to play chess with others.
Pei Nanwei asked unhappily, "How old is he? How can he go to the battlefield to kill people?"
Hsu Fengnian looked at her and said calmly, "He's my disciple."
Yu Dilong was probably afraid that his master and Aunt Pei would quarrel because of him. He smiled and said, "Aunt Pei, it's fine. I'm from Beiliang. Since I know martial arts, it's only right for me to go to the battlefield and kill the barbarians. In the future, after I've paid off the big guy's debt and made contributions to the military, I'll send the money to you. Can you help me save it? When the time comes, Aunt Pei can use it as you please. "
Pei Nanwei smiled and said, "Later, Aunt Pei will find someone to renovate the house and build a courtyard house. When the time comes, I'll specially reserve a room for you."
While wolfing down his food, Yu Dilong raised his head and said excitedly, "Okay!"
After Hsu Fengnian finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Pei Nanwei. "I'll go with you to the county office and let the two children wash the dishes."
After the two of them each took an oil-paper umbrella and walked out of the house, Lu Yunzhang sat cross-legged on a stool and looked at Yu Dilong who was busy cleaning up the dishes. He whispered, "Who exactly is Aunt Pei? Why does it seem like our master is quite concerned about her? "
Yu Dilong, who was in a good mood, had the thought of joking. He deliberately said mysteriously, "Aunt Pei is amazing. There's no second in the world in martial arts, but there's a third in the world."
Lu Yunzhang had a look of disbelief. "Are you lying to me?"
Yu Dilong curled his lips and said, "It's up to you to believe it or not. In any case, Aunt Pei can crush you with one finger. By the way, this is my house. When you visit in the future, remember not to freeload. You have to bring a gift. "
Lu Yunzhang grimaced.
Yu Dilong happily ran to the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks. "I have a home."
Hsu Fengnian and Pei Nanwei walked in the alley and sighed. "Thank you."
Pei Nanwei said indifferently, "Because of that child, Yu Dilong? There's no need. I like this child to begin with. As for that Lu Yunzhang, he exudes a vicious aura. I don't like him. "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "You're wrong. If I were to ignore him, Lu Yunzhang would only be a formidable person in the pugilistic world at best. He would only be a martial arts alliance leader. However, if Yu Dilong isn't restrained, or if he doesn't have anything to worry about, he will be very terrifying. This child might have a chance of becoming the next Wang Xianzhi. "
