Chapter 228 Vertical and Horizontal
"Just judging by the time you practiced swordsmanship, it is not easy to have such achievements."
Although Wei Zhuang's voice was calm, it was the first time he had sincerely recognized Zhu Yushou's strength after he was summoned.
Zhu Yushou smiled and said, "From now, please give me more advice."
"The double swords of the two are really eye-opening."
At this moment, a gloomy laughter came, and Cao Zhengchun and Gongshu Qiu came together. Gongshu Qiu said with a smile:
"Although the master of the family is still a bit short of his ability to achieve sword-leaving skills, with his talent, it only takes time to practice sword-leaving skills to the level of enlightenment like Gai Nie."
"Gay Nie!"
When Wei Zhuang heard this name, he had been expressionless and could not help but look strange in his eyes.
"I wonder if there is still a chance to fight you again!"
Ignoring Wei Zhuang, Zhu Yushou directly gave Cao Zhengchun and Gong's grudge, saying:
"You two, do you have anything important?"
Cao Zhengchun bowed and said:
"Report to the master, the slave received a report from his spies. Although the position of the city lord has not been determined after Zhai Jiao and Mo Li's death, Luo Hui has applied for his son Luo Renjie to take over the position of the head of the Mozhe Guild in Mincheng."
"Luo Renjie?"
Zhu Yushou was slightly stunned and said in confusion:
"The form of Mincheng City is complex and the forces of all parties are mixed. Can Luo Renjie be able to survive in the cultivation of the Marrow Cleansing Realm? Can the Mo Family General Academy be assured to hand over the Mozhe Guild in Mincheng to him?"
Cao Zhengchun shook his head and said, "When the Mohist school evaluated the strength of his disciples, he paid more attention to the attainments of mechanical skills in addition to martial arts. It is unknown to his subordinates how Luo Renjie's attainments of mechanical skills are.
But he had a few pieces of his grandfather, that is, the things given to him by the elders of the Mo family. It was enough to compete with ordinary powerful people in the Gangqi realm."
Zhu Yushou nodded and said, "So that's it!"
Cao Zhengchun said worriedly:
"With Luo Renjie's temperament, once he takes over the leadership of the Mozhe Guild, the Zhu family's industry will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Mincheng."
Zhu Yushou sneered: "Then let him be the leader!"
Cao Zhengchun pinched the orchid finger in a slight shock and said:
"But as far as I know, under the operation of Luo Renjie and his grandfather, the Mo family should have approved Luo Hui's request and the appointment will be brought down soon."
"Appointment? In this far away city of Min, where the emperor has no strong strength or expectations, it is useless to have a broken appointment."
Zhu Yushou sneered:
"Immediately pass this news to He Lanyan. With her hatred for Luo Hui and his son, she will never watch Luo Renjie take over as the leader of the Mozhe Guild."
Cao Zhengchun nodded and said, "Yes, I'll do it now."
"etc!"
Zhu Yushou called Cao Zhengchun and said:
"Just dependent on the strength of the Helan family, I'm afraid it's not a match for the Luo family's father and son. When will the deadly scholar and Yuan Biao arrive?"
Cao Zhengchun replied: "Tonight is the latest!"
"very good!"
Zhu Yushou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to hurry up. When the deadly scholar and Yuan Biao arrive, let them go to see Helanyan together."
"yes!"
Cao Zhengchun nodded.
Zhu Yushou rubbed his chin and suddenly said:
"This matter may also play a certain role. After all, she is the daughter of the former city lord and a disciple of the leader of the Mozhe Guild.
With such a special identity, it would be a pity if she could not bring out her due value!"
"It's a good guy to fight."
Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice: "Just be careful to raise tigers."
"Zhai Ling'er is indeed a little tiger."
Thinking of Zhai Linger's scheming methods at such a young age, I have to be careful.
However, her cultivation has not reached the Gangqi realm after all, and as long as Long'er's leopard fetal Yijing pill, she can be obedient.
"I don't know if Zhai Ling'er has woken up, but I seem to be going to see her."
Zhu Yushou smiled and greeted Weizhuang and the others, then left the night branch and headed towards the city lord's mansion.
He was quite diligent in the city lord's mansion during this period. The gatekeeper had already become familiar with him and put him in directly.
As soon as Zhu Yushou stepped into the city lord's mansion, he heard a quarrel and a clamor.
I saw a few women in white clothes and plain clothes surrounding Mrs. Zhai, arguing about something.
"Madam, we have been serving the master for so many years. Now that the master has left, how can we divide this property into the ground? At least I can't just take it alone."
"That's right, you have a daughter to rely on. We have no children in our knees, but we have no support."
"Although you mentioned the title of wife, you did not give birth to a child for the master after all. Ling'er is a girl, so she can't tell you that she has inherited all her wealth."
...
After hearing a few words, Zhu Yushou realized that Zhai Jiao was dead and several concubines wanted to divide the property.
Zhu Yushou stepped forward and said loudly: "My mother-in-law, son-in-law Zhu Yushou greeted me!"
His voice was filled with a hint of energy, and his voice was like a morning bell in the evening drum, extremely loud, which made the group of chattering women suddenly try their luck.
"Yu Shou, are you here?"
Mrs. Zhai quickly came to her senses and quickly sorted out the group that was slightly twisted by her concubines, and said seriously:
"Ling'er just woke up in the morning and I was about to send someone to inform you. He was in the room, but he was not in good spirits. You go and see her."
"yes!"
Zhu Yushou bowed, then looked at the concubines surrounding Mrs. Zhai and said with a smile:
"I just heard that my aunts want to divide the family property. But I heard that the head of the Helan Yan family, who is grateful to the old city lord for the benefit of the old city lord, has written to the court to request Ling'er to inherit the position of the city lord."
"What?"
When those women heard this, they were all shocked.
The overall status of women in the land of Kyushu is not as good as that of men.
However, some martial artists who have achieved success in cultivation are obviously not listed here.
Zhai Ling'er has a good cultivation talent, and is cultivated by two powerful men, Zhai Jiao and Mo Li. Her cultivation is outstanding among the younger generation.
If there are local snakes like the Helan Family who strongly support and recommend it, it is not impossible to inherit the position of the city lord.
When Zhu Yushou saw these women looking surprised, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, he said:
"Mother-in-law, all the concubines, I'm going down to see Ling'er, you guys continue."
The girls looked at each other and kept on.
If Zhai Ling'er can inherit the position of the city lord, whoever wants to leave the city lord's mansion will be his grandson.
They all changed their faces and changed into smiles.
"Oh, congratulations to sister, this Ling'er is really promising."
"Yes, our group of sisters are all counting on our sister to take care of her."
"Sister, you have to advise Ling'er to take care of her health. You can't be too sad. I have a ginseng..."
...
Listening to the pleasant and flattering voices coming from behind, Zhu Yushou shook his head and walked directly to Zhai Ling'er's embroidery room.
"Son-in-law!"
A maid hurriedly walked out of the boudoir and saw Zhu Yushou, she hurriedly bowed and bowed.
"Xiaoyue, how are Ling'er doing? What are you going in a hurry?"
Zhu Yushou asked with a smile when he saw that the maid was Zhai Ling'er's personal maid.
"Miss...”
Xiaoyue glanced at Zhai Ling'er's boudoir, hesitated a little, and then said with tears:
"After the lady woke up, she didn't eat or drink, and sat there without saying anything. But for some reason, she suddenly had a big appetite and asked for a lot of food."
"Oh! I'll go in and take a look, then you go down first."
Zhu Yushou waved his hand to signal Xiaoyue to retreat, and then entered Zhai Ling'er's boudoir. Zhai Ling'er was sitting in front of a table full of food, holding a big chicken leg in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth.
Her clothes were in a mess, and her cheeks were covered with oil stains.
"Ling'er!"
Zhu Yushou shook his head and said, "My father-in-law has passed away. Everyone is very sad, but you have to cheer up, otherwise, who will avenge him?"
"revenge?"
Zhai Ling'er trembled all over when she heard this, and a trace of weakness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said, "Can I take revenge?"
"Of course."
Zhu Yushou nodded and said, "The murderer who killed his father-in-law, Xia Teng, and the old man named Lin have been killed by my men. The remaining Zhang Mei is already disabled with her arms. As long as you cheer up, one day in the future, you will be able to kill her."
Zhai Ling'er slowly swallowed the food in her mouth and said:
"Xia Teng, Zhang Mei, Lin Quan. They are just a group of clowns, the real mastermind behind the scenes, and there is someone else."
After saying that, Zhai Ling'er looked at Zhu Yushou with tears in her eyes, looking expectant.
Zhu Yushou smiled and said, "Ling'er, since your father-in-law has entrusted you to me, then your hatred is my hatred. No matter who is behind the murder of my father-in-law, I will definitely give my all to help you."
"Brother Yushou!"
Zhai Ling'er's delicate body twisted, as if in Zhu Yushou's arms, and said:
"In the past, Ling'er was not good. There were many things hidden from you. From now on, Ling'er will never hide things from you again. Don't you want Ling'er?"
Feeling Ling'er's delicate body in her arms crying and trembling, Zhu Yushou gently stroked her back and said softly:
"It's okay! You and me, I will take care of you no matter what."
Zhai Ling'er gently raised her head from Zhu Yushou's arms and said softly:
"Brother Yushou, can I tell you everything?"
Zhu Yushou looked at Ling'er and smiled and said, "The secret you are talking about is the key to Xuanming, right?"
"Did you know everything?"
When Zhai Ling'er heard this, her whole body trembled, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and said:
"Brother Yushou, then will you blame Ling'er?"
Zhu Yushou shook his head, took the initiative to make an excuse for her, and said:
Chapter completed!
