Chapter 27 Liu Family at the Helm
According to Liu Zhiqing's intention, Zhao Yuan temporarily lived in the Liu family.
Looking back, I actually thought about it carefully, if I were to be careful, I would probably have to be careful.
After comforting Zhao Yuan, Liu Zhiqing boarded a small boat and drove straight to the small island in the lake - Xiaoyingzhou Island. This small island in the middle of the lake is now living an important figure in the Liu family: Liu Shengyuan.
Xiaoyingzhou Island is the largest island on the entire West Lake. The entire island is in the shape of a field. Where Yasuoyuan lives is located in the center of the island.
After Liu Zhiqing landed on the island, she walked along the path towards the center. Before she arrived, she saw a maid pushing a wheelbarrow. A white-haired old man was sitting on the car. She walked up and said, "Let me do it!"
After taking the maid's seat, Liu Zhiqing pushed the wheelbarrow and walked towards the lake.
"Qing'er, what happened to the family?"
The old man spoke and said, "This person is the famous scholar Jian Liu Shengyuan in the world. He is one of the seven saints in the world. The current circulating in the world, Liu Shengyuan has retired from the world and no longer moves around the world. However, the incident was five years ago because of Liu Zhiqing's father's sudden death. He was hit hard. As a result, he became obsessed with the martial arts while practicing, and his hands, feet, meridians were destroyed. Except for his entire body of martial arts, he could no longer walk, just like a useless person.
Liu Zhiqing would often come to accompany Liu Shengyuan, but based on his understanding of his granddaughter, he knew that there must be something difficult for Liu Zhiqing to make decisions today.
Liu Zhiqing said: "My little sister is back."
Yanagizumi smiled and said, "This crazy girl is finally crazy enough and willing to come back?"
Liu Shengyuan was somewhat helpless about his granddaughter. He was like a wild horse that broke away from his reins. He didn't stay in the Liu family for a few days. However, the people from the world also gave the Liu family face, but they were always in danger.
Liu Zhiqing said: "This time she passed by Jiujiang and went to the branch of the Beggars' Sect in Jiujiang, but she was attacked. In the end, she still rescued a disciple of the Beggars' Sect to escape. Afterwards, her granddaughter sent someone to thoroughly investigate the matter, but she didn't get much. The attackers of the little sister disappeared out of thin air, and there was no one to be found. Even the Beggars' Sect itself didn't know where those people came from."
This was exactly what Liu Zhiqing was surprised. When he asked the remaining disciples of the Beggars' Gang branch, he learned that the new rudder leader was from the capital. Not long after he took office, the other disciples of the branch did not know each other before. After Liu Zhiqing was rescued that day, the dead rudder leader and the disciples of the Beggars' Gang who participated in the assassination were like evaporating on earth, and there was no clue to be found.
Liu Shengyuan was silent for a moment and asked again: "Who is the Beggar Gang disciple who saved Zhiqing?"
Liu Zhiqing said: "This man's martial arts is quite skillful. Although he is dressed as a disciple of the Beggars' Sect, his granddaughter thinks it is just a cover-up. He should be good at using a knife. He was unhappy in the outer courtyard before, and then he was about to leave. He first forced the disciple to block the sword with a stick, and then fought with Zhang Tianyin. Within ten moves, he was defeated without any defeat with his strange identity. However, his granddaughter asked his sister, and when he saved her, he used not a knife, but a sword."
Yanagi Shinto said: "Maybe?"
Liu Zhiqing said: "Yes, he took action very quickly, and Zhiqing didn't see it very clearly. For the time being, I don't know whether this person passed by by chance or the attack from Jiujiang was just a game. The purpose was to get close to Zhiqing, so my granddaughter kept him in the Liu family for the time being!"
Yanagizumi nodded and said, "Yes, it should be like this."
Since you cannot be sure whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, it is better to let the enemy hide in the dark than to let him stay in the open.
While speaking, the two had already arrived at the lakeside. The lake breeze blew, blew Liu Zhiqing's hair. She sorted out slightly and looked up. Not far away was the Liu family. As the four major martial arts families, the Liu family still has a reputation in the world and is full of glory. However, those who know the details know that the Liu family is already hard to walk at this moment, and all the burdens are almost on Liu Zhiqing's shoulders alone.
Liu Shengyuan sighed slightly in his heart and said, "Zhiqing."
Liu Zhiqing said: "The granddaughter is here."
Yanagizumi said: "You are not young anymore, and it is time to find someone to share the burden on your shoulders for you. Although my grandfather stays on this island every day, he knows a little about the family affairs. Zhang Tianyin is ambitious, but if he can use it properly, he is still a right-hand assistant. This person is also dedicated to you, so you might as well think about it."
When Liu Shengyuan mentioned Zhang Tianyin, Liu Zhiqing felt a little unhappy, but how could she not know about her grandfather's painstaking efforts? He said: "Grandpa, granddaughter has his own opinions. There is another thing. Two months later, the meeting of the Four Alliances will be held in the Bai family. This year, according to the Bai family's proposal, the younger generation of disciples of the Fourth Alliance will compete with each other. The age cannot be over 25 years old. Should someone be sent to invite his second brother back to represent the Liu family?"
Liu Shengyuan sighed in his heart. He also knew the temper of his granddaughter. He was just stubborn. Zhang Tianyin was interested in her, but she was unintentional. She was very worried about her sister Liu Zhiqing's marriage, but she ignored her. In addition to the Liu family's status in the world, no one dared to come to propose marriage.
The so-called Four Alliances Association is actually an alliance of the four major martial arts families. The principle is to stabilize the four families' status in the world through mutual support and help from the four major families! The leaders of the Four Alliances are selected every five years, and those with high martial arts masters will be the leader. Of course, in order to demonstrate fairness, each family will choose one person to participate, but it is still an age group. Although the four alliances are already a bit apart now, they can get the position of the leader, which can more or less bring some benefits to their own families. Therefore, the four families take it seriously every time.
The last time the Fourth Alliance Meeting was the Liu family. It was also the event that Liu Zhiqing's father was attacked and died on the way back. It has not been found out who the murderer is yet to be found.
When it comes to these four alliance meetings, it is undoubtedly like the old scars were untied in Liu Zhiqing's heart, bloody and painful.
Liu Zhiqing herself knew that no matter how painful it was, she could only face it and could not escape it.
Yayoi Yuan thought for a moment, then said with a little confusion: "Your second brother?"
Liu Zhiqing's second brother is actually the second son of Liu Zhiqing's second uncle, two years older than her. When she was ten years old, she joined the Wudang Sect and came back every other year.
Liu Zhiqing nodded and said, "Yes, of course, the granddaughter understands grandpa's concerns. The second uncle has ambitions, but as grandpa said, if this ambition can be used by the Liu family, it will not be a loss. Moreover, there is a resolution for the Fourth Alliance meeting this time. No matter which family wins, each volume of "Xianhualu" kept by the Fourth Alliance will be uniformly kept by the leader. This matter has been approved by the Zuo family!"
The legend of "Xianhualu" was written by Lu Dongbin, who is also known as the Sword Immortal, and is the founder of the Quanzhen Sect. This book is said to contain his peerless sword skills. This book was later obtained by Zhang Zhenren of Wudang Mountain. Later, this book was divided into four and handed over to the four disciples of his four disciples, and these four disciples are the ancestors of the four families now.
Because one is divided into four, the four families have exhausted their efforts but cannot understand the mystery. However, the four volumes of the ancestors cannot be published and cannot be combined into one volume. Therefore, the four schools have always adhered to the remaining teachings and silently guarded the "Xianhualu" in their hands.
After hearing this, Liu Shengyuan sneered: "This old guy Bai Mofan has made such a good plan. I guess the Bai family and the Zuo family have become one."
Liu Zhiqing said: "Yes, not long ago, the Bai family was rioted by the evil king Zhuge Tian, and was thrown into the face in the world. I guess he wanted to save some face. Bai Chenxi of the Bai family and Zuo Yuming of the Zuo family are both six young men in the same rivers and lakes, and they are all outstanding among the younger generation. As long as they can win the Tang and Liu family, this "Xianhualu" is all their belongings. That's why the granddaughter plans to let the second brother come back."
Yanagizumi said in surprise: "Did you agree to their proposal?"
Liu Zhiqing said: "Since they have their own little plan, if my Liu family makes an excuse not to participate, they will definitely leave many excuses. My granddaughter really doesn't want to cause trouble now. If the second brother comes back, the Liu family will not be powerless. If he wins his life, he will not know who will win."
Yanagizumi was silent for a moment and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then just do what you said."
He knew his granddaughter's temper very well. He was a weak woman on the surface, but he was unwilling to admit defeat in his heart. He was extremely strong. This matter was initiated by the Baizuo family. How could she show weakness?
Liu Zhiqing nodded and said, "Yes! In addition, our spy also heard from her boy, Bai Chenrui is dead."
Yanagizumi said in surprise: "Die? Who did the trick?"
Liu Zhiqing said: "According to the granddaughter's estimate, he might have died at the hands of Zhuge Tian. After Zhuge Tian made a big fuss about the Bai family, the Bai family asked Bai Chenrui to leave Jinling with Bai Jingfei's body. What happened later is unknown, but the Bai family did not make any major moves. If Bai Chenrui was being killed by Zhuge Tian, the only possibility that Zhuge Tian might have passed away, which made the Bai family not take revenge. To confirm that at this time, the granddaughter had sent someone to Feixian Valley, and it was estimated that news would be heard in just half a month."
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. Bai Chenrui is the direct descendant of the Bai family. After the death of the Bai family, there is no revenge. There is only one possibility. The person who killed Bai Chenrui may also be dead.
Liu Shengyuan nodded slightly and sighed, "Zhuge Tiandula went alone. If he really died after the Bai family, it can be seen that the Bai family still has some tricks. It's a pity that his martial arts that are unique in the world have also gone with him. The name of the evil king in the world will be like the clouds and smoke in the past from now on."
Zhuge Tian had never accepted his disciples, so when he died, his peerless magical skills disappeared from then on. At this moment, Liu Shengyuan felt a bit sad about the death of a rabbit and the fox.
After a moment of silence, he said again: "When you come back with Zhiqing, the person must investigate the origin clearly. If there is no suspicion, it would be better if you can be used by my Liu family."'
