Chapter 345: Afraid of Brother’s Suffering, but Also Afraid of Brother Driving a Land Rover! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
"Damn, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
At the gate of the temple, Li Zhong rubbed his eyes. He had no idea that Zhou Tong would be recruited as his son-in-law by the garrison general... Scholars usually hunt for their son-in-law from below, but the garrison general of Zhending Mansion hunts for his son-in-law from the temple.
At this time, the tiger general has an ambivalent mentality of "afraid of his brother's suffering, but also afraid of his brother driving a Land Rover".
We agreed to be single together, but you secretly held hands... Kaiyuan Temple also came to Kaiyuan Temple wearing new clothes. Why did the garrison general capture Zhou Tong, a fool, and not me?
Li Zhong was puzzled and looked down at his clothes. Could it be that the clothes were too cheap?
If I had known better, I would have bought a set of clothes worth twenty taels. Maybe the son-in-law of the garrison general would be my tiger general instead of the little bully.
Alas, you are stingy and spend your life by mistake!
When Li Zhong was crazy about lemons, Zhou Tong followed the garrison general to the osmanthus tree, met his mother-in-law, and secretly took a look at the young lady Pandan. The more he looked at it, the more delighted he became.
Sun originally wanted to take Xianglan away, but it was not suitable for the man and woman to meet before they got married.
But you have to take a good look at the son-in-law you finally caught, and ask about his family background and other things to get a brief understanding... Although the holy monk said that the score is not bad, who doesn't want his daughter to marry better.
"Where is Master Zhou from?"
"My son-in-law's surname is Zhou Mingtong, from Shandong. Both his parents are dead and he has no relatives... Oh, by the way, I have some candies here, and I would like to invite my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Sister Xianglan to taste them."
This guy was very eloquent. Although they had just met, they kissed like a family member. When introducing himself, he did not forget to take out a few individually wrapped sesame candies from his arms and handed them to Fan Xingping's family.
When delivering it to Pandan, the guy winked at his future wife, teasing Pandan so much that she bumped around, her cheeks turned red, as if she had been drinking.
"Good son-in-law, this thing..."
Fan Xingping fiddled with the peanut candy for a long time, not knowing how to tear open the package.
Zhou Tong enthusiastically talked about the technique of tearing off the packaging. Fan Xingping tore open the packaging, took out the domino-like sesame candy, and took a bite. The sweetness and the fragrance of sesame blended together, plus the slightly sticky texture. The taste stunned him straight away.
When he was in Tokyo, he was lucky enough to have a meal at the palace. He felt that those delicacies were unforgettable. Unexpectedly, the sweets that the wise son-in-law took out of his arms were actually more delicious than the snacks in the palace.
After eating the candy, Mrs. Sun felt even happier. This kind of candy was not ordinary at first glance. The identity of her son-in-law must not be simple. He might be an expert who hides in the city.
She told Zhou Tong that this was a God-given marriage between the two families, and vividly described the process of seeking marriage, and praised the newly arrived Master Zhishen as the birth of Maitreya and the reincarnation of the Tathagata, which was miraculous.
The great monk really meant what he said... Zhou Tong planned to pretend that he didn't know Lu Zhishen later, thank him first, and then pretend to donate some sesame oil money.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law all gave me one hundred taels of silver, and I couldn't exceed it, but fifty taels was too little, so I would give her eighty-eight taels according to the lottery in the real world.
While the family of three was immersed in the sweetness of the candies, Zhou Tong used the excuse of worshiping Buddha to secretly take out the broken jade pendant, wrap it in paper, and carefully put it into his arms.
Not long after, Lu Zhishen came out of Zhiyuan and was about to get the walkie-talkie when he realized that Zhou Tong was actually chatting and laughing with Fan Xingping's family.
what's the situation? Is this done?
He straightened his cassock, walked over in a pretentious manner, and then received enthusiastic thanks from both parties.
Hearing that Lu Zhishen wanted to train a group of monks in the temple and lacked space, Fan Xingping said without saying anything that he would take care of everything. He also planned to allocate an open space outside Kaiyuan Temple specifically for training monks.
Outside the gate of Kaiyuan Temple, Yan Qing walked over with a banknote in her arms. Seeing Li Zhong and Xie Yingdeng chatting on the roadside, she asked curiously:
"Why don't you go in?"
"Afraid of stealing the spotlight from the bully."
Li Zhong told the story in a few words, which shocked Yan Qing.
Before the little blue pill could take effect, Zhou Tong actually upgraded his version and became the son-in-law of the garrison general in one step... He really fulfilled those words:
"It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing so fast!"
Now that he has become his son-in-law, Yang Lin and Deng Fei no longer need to be undercover to guard the general's mansion, and can be mobilized to play a greater role.
Yang Lin is popular and has his own social BUFF, allowing him to get in touch with that mysterious organization.
Deng Fei is strong and can sneak into the arms workshop outside the city. In the future, it will bear the heavy responsibility of ordnance production. It may be upgraded to an arsenal and must be occupied in advance to avoid being destroyed.
Thinking of this, Yan Qing subconsciously took out the walkie-talkie and prepared to contact Ma Ling, and quickly reported the matter to Qilin Village, but felt that the back and forth would still delay things.
After thinking for a moment, he saw a small temple of Nuwa Empress not far away, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
It would be better to convey the information in another way... Yan Qing led Li Zhong and Xie Yingdeng into the small temple, first cleaned the statue, then placed the offerings, inserted incense and candles, knelt on the futon and reported everything here. Again.
Just as he finished speaking, a breeze blew by, scattering the incense ashes on the ground.
When the wind stopped, the ashes on the ground turned into four words:
"I already know."
Then another gust of wind blew by, and the soot dissipated immediately.
In the cave of the Wa Palace outside the Three Realms, Yunxiao sat on the velvet-covered sofa, watching what had just happened, and respectfully asked the empress for advice:
"If something happens to them, do I need to wait and take action?"
The empress waved, and a good-luck cat pendant from Li Yu's filial piety flew over and landed in Yunxiao's hands:
"No need, the good luck contained in this thing can ward off disasters, trigger marriage, and gain wealth, and it will not be contaminated by any cause and effect... Next month, my son will go to meet this mysterious cat, and he should be able to talk openly and honestly. Let’s talk.”
Yunxiao rubbed the jade pendant and asked uncertainly:
"Cat demon?"
"It's neither a demon nor an evil, neither a god nor a ghost... It controls the purest source of power in the universe, and it comes from a higher-dimensional world. We have no way of inferring it. We only know that it has enough power for us. Good intentions, not enemies.”
"There are such creatures. The real world is really fascinating."
Yun Xiao rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, becoming more and more curious about the real world.
The empress handed over a few pieces of brown candies made by Li Yu and said:
"Keep the jade pendant, you may need it in the future... This is a snack made by my son with peanuts and maltose. Yunxiao, you can try it. If you like it, I will ask that brat to make more next time."
Yunxiao took it with both hands and thanked him repeatedly:
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"
"Don't be so formal. Just be casual, just like you are at home."
After saying that, the empress waved, and Mu Guiying, who was sleeping with the quilt rolled up with Li Fengyang, was woken up and appeared in the cave yawning:
"It's easy to get old if you don't sleep well..."
After Marshal Mu muttered, he realized that Yun Xiao was also there, and quickly said hello:
"Greetings to Empress Yunxiao."
"Guiying, you're welcome. Just call me Sister Yunxiao from now on."
Mu Guiying stopped dozing off and leaned beside Yun Xiao excitedly:
"I have long wanted to have a sister. The first time I saw you, I wanted to call you sister, but I was worried about being rejected by you... Sister Yunxiao, please accept my little sister's bow!"
She bowed in a pretentious manner, then grabbed the frosted peanuts on the coffee table and chewed them:
"Master, why are you calling me?"
"Go and tell my son that Water Margin said that Zhou Tong of the Yue World was recruited as his son-in-law by the guard general of Zhending Mansion. He asked Xuande to go to Zhending Mansion to finalize the marriage as soon as possible."
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."
Mu Guiying stood up, grabbed two more handfuls of frost-bearing peanuts, ate them while returning to Muke Village, then walked through a door and appeared in the warehouse.
"It's only six o'clock in the morning in the real world. Is Master too anxious?"
Mu Guiying walked out of the warehouse, holding her mobile phone and sending a message to Li Yu, telling the story exactly.
Then he pushed out Li Yu's motorcycle and rode it to the bottom of the mountain. He bought fried dough sticks, buns, cabbage, sugar cake, spicy soup, flat noodles, vegetables and other breakfast items. He packed them all up, rode back to the warehouse, and left the real world with these foods. Arrive at Wa Palace Cave Mansion.
"Master, Sister Yunxiao, this is the breakfast I bought from the real world. Please try it quickly..."
The empress glanced at the packaging box:
“Isn’t this made by a B&B?”
"No, the breakfast over there hasn't been prepared yet. I rode my motorcycle to the village at the foot of the mountain to buy it... Many people in Shitouzhai Village work in the scenic spot and the Hanfu factory, and they all eat breakfast on the street. It's very lively. This year More and more people are buying new cars. Mr. is really a good man who brings benefits to the whole world."
Yunxiao took a bite of a candy cake:
"If Guiying is free, can you tell me about the real world?"
"Of course it's no problem! When it comes to the real world, we can't avoid my Yushu Linfeng, who is more beautiful than Pan'an, extremely intelligent, has flowers blooming, loves peace, has super righteous views, and respects women... Anyway, apart from fear of being beaten, there is nothing else The faultless owner of the B&B, Mr. Li, is also my master’s stinky son!”
Hum hum, based on what I know about Master over the years, she definitely wants to turn Yun Xiao into her daughter-in-law.
If you are as smart as me, you will definitely provide assists!
I don’t know how much Stanley Sir can reward me this time. Is it at least a hundred tons?
Marshal Mu was making a lot of calculations. He enthusiastically took out his mobile phone and showed Li Yu's photo to Yunxiao. He racked his brains and said a lot of complimentary words.
Yun Xiao listened while eating, and occasionally asked a question or two, such as what the poor days meant, and why the B&B couldn't open the pot.
The empress held a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and listened carefully, neither disturbing nor interrupting.
She also wanted to know more about her son's past, and now she finally made up for it.
When Guiying heard that during the time when Sun Facai disappeared, Li Yu could only cook noodles and depend on brother Dao, the empress felt distressed for a while, feeling that her good son had been wronged.
"In short, after the clever me appeared, the B&B's luck was completely reversed."
Mu Guiying added a lot of scenes to herself, which made her want to fast forward.
When a few people were chatting in the cave, the world of the Three Kingdoms was a different scene.
Before the morning court began, Sun Facai proudly said to everyone:
"I'm going to be a father, so remember to give me a gift when hosting the full moon party."
"My wife is pregnant. You are not allowed to smoke in our house from now on. If you smoke again, the crime tools will be confiscated!"
"Don't worry, I don't smoke either. If you get addicted to cigarettes, I will go to your house to smoke."
"Just now I saw you entering the palace gate with your left foot first. You were obviously disrespectful to the emperor. You quickly brought two old hens and sent them to my house. I pretended not to see you."
"What are you eating? Snow cakes, right? When the snow melts, it's all in vain. You are mocking me as a man who is as short-lived as the snow scene... Well, give me a hundred catties of red dates, and I can help you hide this matter. "
"Mr. Ma, don't run away. I saw you eating halva... halva. It will break when touched. You must be... Oh, forget it. Give me a hundred catties of brown sugar and this matter will be revealed."
"..."
Before Liu Xie arrived, the whole court was already disturbed by Sun Facai.
Everyone was very tolerant of him. After all, he was Cai Yong's son-in-law, and he was also the emperor's substitute teacher. He also had good relations with the female relatives of all the courtiers.
The title of Friend of Han Women is not earned for nothing.
Of course, the most important point is that Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who frightened the courtiers, said more than once that Sun Facai was his life mentor.
In this case, absolutely no one would dare to offend this guy.
When everyone was congratulating Sun on his fortune, Jia Xu, accompanied by Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang, walked into the palace gate.
The whole palace immediately fell silent. Many people looked at Jia Xu secretly, trying to see something on Jia Xu's face, but found that the little old man still had a warm face, like a retired veteran cadre who came to play chess.
On the other hand, Ma Chao who was following him was fully armed. Not only was he wearing armor and holding a tiger-headed spear, he even had an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist. Next to him, Zhuge Liang was wearing a crown suit and holding a black notebook, which looked very much like what Guo Jia usually carried with him. death Note.
When he came to Sun Facai, Jia Xu bowed his hands to him:
"Congratulations, good brother. Jia has sent his wife to the Cai Mansion to take care of Chief Cai's daily life."
Chief Cai is what Cai Yan is called. She has no official status, but she was hired as the chief scientist and engineer by the institute, so courtiers are accustomed to calling her Chief Cai.
Sun Facai cupped his hands and thanked:
"Yanmei's mother died young and she really needs experienced people to take care of her. Thank you very much, Mr. Wenhe."
"You're welcome, dear brother, we are a family."
After the two greeted each other, Jia Xu walked to the front of the courtiers, then turned around, looked at the courtiers and said:
"Before your Majesty comes, Jia will announce a few things."
Everyone stood up, and even Ma Rixi, who was dozing next to him, rolled up his sleeves, curious about what big move the smiling Jia Wenhe was planning to make.
"The Fufeng Qin clan intends to rebel. After verification by colleagues from the Secrecy Bureau, it was found that three of its clans should have been killed. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and did not want to use weapons. Instead, the main line was the Yi clan, and the collateral branches were spared death."
"The servants in the palace formed a clique for personal gain and intended to rebel. More than a hundred people have been executed and countless letters have been found. Now they are being examined one by one. The officials involved will be dealt with according to the law regardless of their rank and age."
"The Wang family in Fufeng, the Zhang family in Jingzhao, and the Li family in Shaanzhou...these family members hid important military supplies in the army and intended to rebel. Your Majesty, nostalgic for the past, confiscated the property of the three Yi clans and exiled the whole clan."
"..."
The few things Lao Jia announced slowly were all bombshells for the courtiers.
Many people only know that His Majesty suddenly moved from the North Palace to the Weiyang Palace, and they don't know what happened.
Although some people heard the news, they were limited to a few words about the chamberlain's greed for ink and rock candy, and his majesty's anger. Unexpectedly, the crime decided to keep the secret secret was treason.
The word "rebellion" is like a big mountain that will hit you and never get over.
Once you are charged with this crime, whoever is next to you will be unlucky. Even if your relationship is good enough to wear a pair of pants, you must quickly draw a clear line at this time to avoid getting angry.
Jia Xu fabricated this charge for them to prevent courtiers from engaging in moral kidnapping.
Now, I’m going to give you a crime that you can’t get along with, and you want to play moral kidnapping? First feel your head to see if it is made of alloy.
Yang Biao yawned secretly. Last night, he visited Sun Facai overnight. They talked for half the night and determined the future development direction of the Yang family.
Now that I heard Jia Xu's announcement, I realized the importance of taking sides.
Normally, the officer would be punished for being corrupt, but Jia Xu chose to blame the family, and his intention to eradicate the family was very obvious.
But these families deserve it. Don't look at the current situation. Even the gods are helping His Majesty. How many arms and legs do you have, how dare you go against the will of heaven.
Just as Jia Xu finished his announcement, Liu Xie hurriedly walked into the hall and began to go to court, just as he had agreed.
Taiwei Yang Biao read out the "good news" that the Southern Huns were defeated by the Hussars General. In addition, he also specifically emphasized Tuoba's insult to Lu Bu.
Cai Yong, who had advocated a soft policy towards foreigners in the past, now became the main militant faction and wrote a letter requesting His Majesty to send troops to clear the grasslands.
Some courtiers who had good relations with Yang Biao and Cai Yong also requested his Majesty to send troops.
Ma Rixi, who has old arms and legs, immediately rolled up his sleeves when he heard Lu Bu was scolded, and took the initiative to ask Ying to be sent as an envoy to the Xianbei Tuoba clan to clean up the group of barbarians on behalf of the Celestial Kingdom. Liu Xie and the courtiers had to talk hard to persuade him.
The chaotic court meeting, the eradication of aristocratic families, the execution of internal servants and other earth-shattering events ended like this.
Liu Xie announced:
"During Zhang Liao's expedition, he worked hard and made great achievements. He was specially named the Zhonglang General of the Xiongnu and was responsible for all affairs of the foreign tribes... Cheng Yu fought with the army and gained a great reputation as a Han Dynasty. He was named the Zhonglang General of the Huns..."
Being granted an official position meant that he had the power to wage war against foreigners.
When to send troops to attack foreign tribes, and to what extent they attack, it all depends on the interest of Zhang Liao and Cheng Yu.
Some officials who had good relations with the Qin family wanted to find an opportunity to help complain, but they didn't expect Liu Xie to go around directly. The current His Majesty seems to be different from the previous emperors.
The era of fooling the emperor by being nice and obedient will become a thing of the past!
In the real world, Li Yu woke up from his sleep and saw the message from Mu Guiying:
"Hey, this Zhou Tong is worthy of being the leader of Peach Blossom Mountain. He is very lucky..."
Zhou Ruotong’s smile hides a knife:
"Are you envious?"
"That's not true. After all, my baby Tong is so perfect... Wife, people say it's good to exercise in the morning. Let's try it too."
After saying that, he turned over and started to act mischievously.
Zhou Ruotong couldn't help but hit this guy a few times, then raised his jade lotus-like arm and hugged Li Yu's neck tightly:
"Don't press my hair... be gentle... you are really bad..."
