The Women of Zhongli Mansion 1

It is a bit far from the south gate of Kyoto to the Huaxi Courtyard by the Huanhua River.

But for the young couple who haven't seen each other for three months, they don't think so.

When Li Chenan came to the capital, he embraced Zhongli Ruoshui in the carriage, which brought the relationship between the two closer. This made Li Chenan feel the reality of living in this world, and also made Zhongli Ruoshui Ruoshui felt the fusion of two hearts.

There were noisy voices outside the carriage, but there was a warm atmosphere inside the carriage.

The one riding the chariot is the sword dance girl, followed by Zhong Lidang riding a horse.

Zhong Lidang didn't take the eight hundred martial arts soldiers with him, but Zhou Huairen, Zhao Debao and Xiong Da, three veterans who were fifty years old!

They all rode war horses, the war horses of the Shenwu Army that Fan Taohua gave them!

Su Muxin and Murong He had bid farewell to Li Chenan, and the two of them went to Taiyuan Academy, because Li Chenan could not go to Taiyuan Academy to meet Hua Manting for the time being.

Su Muxin needed to convey Li Chenan's greetings to Hua Manting.

Of course, this move might attract some people's attention, but Li Chenan didn't seem to care.

It's been almost a month, and Liu Zhuo is about to arrive in Shuzhou under the protection of Zhongli Mansion.

Cheng Yiren, the lord of Yunchen County who was slaughtered by Li Chenan to Tayun, suddenly realized that she was a bit redundant. She went into Dingguohou's Mansion, and sat down for a while after greeting Mrs. Fan.

Knowing that Zhongli Qiuyang had gone to Linshui City to become the admiral of the Guangling Navy, she had some ideas. Of course, she was not ashamed to mention it to Mrs. Fan, but returned to Cheng Guogong's mansion excitedly.

As for the carriage of wine that Li Chenan brought, of course it was placed in Dingguo Hou's Mansion.

At this moment, the two were still on their way to Huaxi Bieyuan, and Zhong Lipo of Dingguo Houfu was already drinking Huapingchun with his wife Fan Taohua.

"This kid, the matter at the South Gate is pretty good, but it would be even better if he could be more ruthless and kill a few students who fanned the flames!"

Zhong Lipo stroked his snowy white beard, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.

"Good wine!"

"It's better than the one brought by Ruoshui, madam, taste it!"

Fan Taohua glanced at Zhong Lipo, picked up the wine bowl, and said, "I think he handled the Nanmen matter impeccably. After all, he is a literati. But his poems are obviously better than his martial arts."

Zhong Lipo chuckled, "Ma'am is right!"

"But, the job that kid did in Huangyang Station doesn't look like a literati!"

"What's different? Huang Sanlie was not a literati back then? When he was a bandit in Yanqiu Mountain outside the Guan, what did he do to look like a literati?"

Fan Taohua took a sip of wine, savored it for ten breaths, and said, "I can tell you, if a literati becomes ruthless, he will be more terrifying than a martial artist like you!"

"Especially when literati are in power... such as the Prime Minister Shang a hundred years ago!"

Zhong Lipo was taken aback, when Shang Buqi became the prime minister of Ningguo, he opened a coffin shop in the capital, and the people he killed gave away a total of 328 coffins for free!

The people called him Prime Minister Qingtian, but many officials in the court secretly called him Prime Minister Butcher!

He is just a literati, he doesn't know martial arts at all, but he has killed more people than any master in the arena.

Now Madam suddenly brought up Shangbuqi and compared it with Li Chenan...

"I'm afraid that kid still needs some heat!"

"That's why I didn't bring him into the Marquis Mansion, I just wanted to see how good he is!"

"... But he is a white man after all, and he has no rights in his hands!"

"If he can do some things without power, then he can do more things with power!"

Zhong Lipo frowned, pondered for a moment, and drank the wine in the bowl.

"Hey... Ruoshui probably won't like him like that."

"If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, I wouldn't like it as a wife, but the current situation..."

Fan Taohua also drank the wine in the bowl, "Everyone in Zhongli Mansion must plan for the future!"

"Li Chen'an is no exception!"

...

...

Jian Wu drove the carriage into the boulevard beside Huanhua Creek.

Zhongli Ruoshui was still nestling in Li Chenan's arms, with a nervous expression on his face, although Li Chenan was very calm when he talked about Huangyangyi just now.

"I didn't expect Shen Qiaodie to do such a crazy thing, but this incident also sounded a wake-up call for us."

"I heard that Huo Xi, the old patriarch of the Huo family, brought his grandson Huo Shufan to the capital a few days ago. Grandma said that the Huo family was invited by Concubine Li... Concubine Li has a son and a daughter, and one son is three. The prince Ning Zhiyuan, and his daughter is the sixth princess Ning Shuyu."

"Princess Shuyu suffered from a serious illness when she was young, and later she saved her life, but she became disabled... Her leg was limped, and there was a scar on her face."

"I've seen her before when I went to the palace. She's rather withdrawn, and she's a little, a little sensitive."

"According to her, she should be fourteen or fifteen years old this year. I heard that the emperor wanted to marry her, but she refused. For some reason, she fell in love with Huo Shufan...so this time the Huo family came to the capital, if It's no surprise, Huo Shufan will probably become the consort of the sixth princess."

"Concubine Li Gui is a relatively unique existence in the harem. She is from the Duke of Yan's mansion, the youngest daughter of the current Duke of Yan, and the younger sister of the great master Yan Jidao."

"Although the future palace is controlled by Concubine Ji, Concubine Ji does not dare to bully Concubine Li, and Concubine Li does not seem to have that ambition. She lives in Lihua Palace, and she spends her days burning incense and worshiping Buddha or planting grass. Things like growing flowers."

"What I think is that the Huo family has been spying on your wine. What the Huo family is afraid of now is your identity as the Fish and Dragon Society, and there may be reasons for Zhongli's mansion. But once Huo Shufan becomes the son-in-law of the sixth princess... and Yan With the backing of the Duke's Mansion, it's hard to say whether the Huo family will do anything to you."

"So, you must be more careful in the future, and you must bring a few experts with you when you go out!"

It was only then that Li Chenan knew the reason why Huo Xi came to the capital in such a hurry, and also knew that there was such an intricate relationship behind it.

When he was in Guangling City, Huo Chuanming showed enough sincerity to himself, and it didn't look like a fake.

In the entire Guangling Prefecture, Huo Chuanming joined forces with himself and could really earn a lot of money, which was enough to make up for the loss of the Huo family's Guangling San.

Therefore, Huo Jiadang will not take the initiative to fight against himself.

Of course, even if Zhongli Ruoshui didn't say these things, Li Chenan never relaxed his guard against the Huo family.

The two of them were talking, and the carriage drove into Huaxi Bieyuan.

When they came to the archway of Huaxi Bieyuan, the carriage stopped.

Zhongli Ruoshui sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and the two got out of the carriage.

Before Li Chenan had time to look at the situation in this other courtyard, he heard a voice

"Sisters, come quickly, the third sister is here!"

"We are the number one talented person in Ning country, come and see!"

Then, Li Chenan raised his head, and looked in shock at the four beautifully dressed women who flew out from the other courtyard!

Zhongli Ruoshui was also taken aback, his face turned red, and he whispered in Li Chenan's ear, "They are all my cousins."
