"when!"
Another gong sounded.
The man on the stage cleared his throat and finally began to speak.
"Speaking of which, the King of the Northern Territory was a small outer disciple of Lingxiao Sect, one of the five major sects of Da Yan..."
“But, a fish swimming in shallow water has the ambition to become a dragon; a bird flying in the green mountains has the ambition to fly high in the sky!”
"The King of the North was just an unknown outer disciple. Every day, he would practice in the martial arts hall or go out to hone his combat skills."
"Everyone knows that there is a mountain range of clouds and mist eighty miles outside of Kyoto. There are clouds and mists, mountains and rivers, and monsters are rampant... Many practitioners in Da Yan go there to hunt monsters. In addition to honing their fighting skills, they can also use them to replenish the energy needed for martial arts training, and sell them for some gold coins..."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.
The middle-aged man named Lao Zhuang continued speaking.
"Our King of the Northern Territory would often go to the Cloud Mist Mountains to hunt monsters at that time. It is said that when he went there for the first time, he saved a mother and son on the way. The mother and son's followers were killed by bandits in the Cloud Mist Mountains. When the bandits were about to kill them, the King of the Northern Territory arrived and saved them... It is said that the mother and son were the family members of a certain elder of the Lingxiao Sect..."
"However, until now, I guess that mother and son and that elder have not recognized our Northern King as their benefactor..."
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Since they don't know, how do you know?"
"That's right. Even the person involved doesn't know. How do you know?"
Other guests also began to question.
Lao Zhuang smiled awkwardly and said, "I heard it, but I only heard it."
There was a sudden booing from the audience.
"After all this time, it turns out that it was all hearsay, all rumors, all fabricated."
"It's meaningless. It's all fake."
"Drink, drink. I don't want to listen anymore. What's so good about fake things?"
The guests immediately lost interest.
The guests on the first floor who were crowded on the stairs were also preparing to leave.
At this time, Lao Zhuang suddenly spoke again: "However, I also stayed in the Cloudy Mountains for a period of time, and I have seen the King of the North with my own eyes more than once."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
The guests who were about to go downstairs also stopped immediately.
"Seriously? Don't talk nonsense again!"
"You have seen the King of the North with your own eyes? Are you sure?"
The interest that had just extinguished was immediately aroused again.
Lao Zhuang immediately raised his palm and swore: "If this is false, may the heavens thunder and lightning strike Lao Zhuang, and I will die a miserable death!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited.
"Tell me now! Tell me now!"
"Was the King of the North alone at the time, or was he with someone else?"
Lao Zhuang chuckled and said, "The King of the Northern Territory is naturally not alone. Every time he goes there, he is accompanied by someone, and..."
At this point, he deliberately whetted people's appetite, and then said: "Moreover, the Northern King is surrounded by young and beautiful women..."
Song Ruyue's eyebrows immediately raised: "Nonsense! Slander!"
The other guests became even more excited.
"Lao Zhuang, tell me quickly! Tell me quickly! Who are these women? What is their relationship with the King of the North?"
Lao Zhuang coughed and glanced at his daughter.
"when!"
The girl named Xiao Qi immediately struck the gong in her hand, sang a song to everyone, and said in a crisp voice: "My dear young men and ladies, uncles and aunts, my father and I have been traveling around the world, sleeping in the open air, not having enough to eat and not having warm clothes. Today we are lucky to meet all of you kind people. If you think my father's words are good, please give me some alms, some change, so that my father and I can have a meal and tea..."
Before she could finish, a guest threw silver at her and urged her impatiently, "Hurry up and tell me! If you tell me well, there will be a reward!"
The other guests immediately threw some change in as well.
Xiao Qi thanked him quickly and picked up the things on the ground happily.
Lao Zhuang then smiled and said, "Thank you very much, everyone. Thank you very much... Speaking of which, the first time I saw the face of the King of the North, it was an evening when the sun was setting and the sunset glowed. The King of the North and his fellow disciples entered the Cloudy Mountains together. At that time, there seemed to be two women beside him..."
At this time, Xiao Qi suddenly interrupted and said, "Dad, you remembered it wrong, it's three!"
Lao Zhuang was stunned for a moment and said, "Three? Oh, it is indeed three. Those three women were all young and beautiful. At that time, the most beautiful one, and the one who impressed me the most, was a silver-haired woman..."
"That silver-haired woman seems to be the senior sister of the King of the North. She has a good appearance and figure, especially her legs, which are long and strong. I remember that when I first saw the King of the North, he was secretly staring at the long legs of the silver-haired senior sister, and he talked and laughed with her. It seemed that they had the best relationship..."
The corner of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched.
Miss Qin Er, who was standing by, tugged at his sleeve with her small hand and whispered, "It's Sister Dao, right?"
Luo Qingzhou whispered: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't watch it secretly."
Then he whispered again: "If I want to see, I will see it openly. Why do I have to peek? What's so good about legs? Wei Mo, you know that I like other places."
Miss Qin Er: "..."
When Song Ruyue heard someone say bad things about the King of the Northern Territory, she immediately quit and stood up angrily and said, "Nonsense! The King of the Northern Territory is not such a despicable person! You are slandering him!"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and immediately said in support, "I also think it's a slander. The King of the Northern Territory is such an upright person, how could he be as despicable as he said."
Song Ruyue said angrily: "That's right, it's just nonsense!"
At this time, many people were cheering and asking Lao Zhuang to continue speaking.
I have been tired of hearing the heroic stories of the King of the North for some time. When I heard these interesting private affairs of the King of the North, I felt novel and excited.
Lao Zhuang chuckled and continued speaking.
"That was the first time I saw the King of the North up close. At that time, the King of the North was just a young boy who had just started out. He and the silver-haired girl looked like a perfect match... Who would have thought that when I saw the King of the North for the second time, there was suddenly another girl..."
"That girl is incredible. She wears a purple skirt, a long whip around her waist, a great figure, long and straight legs, and a very beautiful appearance. She also has a very noble temperament. At first glance, she is the daughter of a wealthy family. No, even the daughters of wealthy families cannot compare to her. She looks like..."
Having said this, he suddenly stopped.
When everyone was listening with excitement, they saw him suddenly stop and immediately urged him on.
Some people knew the rules and immediately threw some change on it.
Lao Zhuang then continued with a smile, "She looks noble, like the daughter of a noble family, or even like... a royal child. The girl's mount is not ordinary, named Qianlixue, which is hard to buy with money, and she has two guards, who seem to be very powerful..."
At this time, Song Ruyue suddenly became quiet.
She immediately guessed who the girl was.
"This guy, is this all true?"
Her heart began to waver.
Lao Zhuang then added: "Finally I realized that the girl must be the confidante of the King of the Northern Territory, Princess Nangong of the Prince's Mansion of the Southern Kingdom!"
When everyone heard this, they became even more excited.
Lao Zhuang continued, "The relationship between the princess and the King of the North didn't seem to be very good. As soon as the two met, the atmosphere was tense. I saw with my own eyes that the princess put a drug in the tea and the King of the North was knocked unconscious. Then she put the King of the North on the horse and took him away. As a result..."
"In less than a moment, the King of the North came back riding the princess's horse, Qianlixue. The princess was tied up and tied to Qianlixue..."
"Haha, I knew at that time that the King of the North was no simple man!"
"It was probably from that time that the King of the Northern Territory and Princess Nangong got to know each other and gradually developed into close friends..."
Everyone was very excited to hear this.
Lao Zhuang then went on to talk about some things about the Yunwu Mountains to pass the time.
When everyone was getting bored of listening to him, he immediately said, "Next, let's talk about the King of the North and the Qin Mansion."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Qin residence looked solemn.
Someone immediately asked, "Qin Mansion? Which Qin Mansion?"
Lao Zhuang replied with a smile, "Of course it is the Qin Mansion where the young master Luo, who was favored by Her Majesty the Queen and shocked the world, planned and strategized to defeat the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and the Thai King's rebels, is located."
"Coincidentally, the talented and resourceful Master Luo is actually a good friend of the King of the North!"
"Some of you may know, but some may not know, that Mr. Luo is the son-in-law of the Qin family!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of surprise from the crowd.
"Son-in-law?"
"I've also heard of that Master Luo. I heard that he is an unparalleled poet and the top scholar in Mo City. How could he be a son-in-law?"
"Your Majesty really loves and cherishes talents, and has a keen eye for talent. He even dares to use his son-in-law!"
Lao Zhuang continued, "Speaking of this, everyone must be very curious about how the King of the Northern Territory knew Mr. Luo and how he was related to the Qin Mansion. In fact, it was all because of a woman."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone held their breath.
Anger began to appear on Song Ruyue's face, but she was very curious about how he was going to make up the story next.
"You may not know that the Qin Mansion was once a noble family. Because the emperor wanted to reduce the title, the Qin Mansion was the first to respond. The original owner of the Qin Mansion took the initiative to resign the title, which was appreciated by the emperor. It is said that in the Qin Mansion, there is a beautiful young lady who has been ill since childhood. She can't speak, can't laugh, and can only be dazed. When Mr. Luo entered the Qin Mansion, he married her..."
"One day, when Mr. Luo took Miss Qin to the street to relax, they happened to meet the King of the North, who had nothing at the time and had mediocre cultivation. The King of the North took one look at Miss Qin and was deeply attracted to her. After returning, he couldn't forget her, thinking about her day and night, tossing and turning... Whether he was eating, sleeping, walking, practicing, or hunting monsters, he couldn't help but think of Miss Qin in his mind..."
Hearing this, everyone in the Qin family had different expressions.
Song Ruyue's face was full of doubt and uncertainty, as if she was half-believing and half-doubting.
Miss Qin lowered her head slightly and bit her lips gently, as if trying to hold back her laughter.
Luo Qingzhou's face darkened.
He couldn't help but raise his head and secretly glanced at Miss Qin opposite him.
And at this moment, Miss Qin was actually looking at him.
"However, the King of the North knew that the other party was already married, so he kept his love hidden in his heart until one day, the opportunity came!"
"That Miss Qin suddenly divorced that Young Master Luo!"
"It just so happened that one day, Mr. Luo went to visit a friend. When he went to his friend's house for dinner, he met a few hooligans. Seeing that Mr. Luo had red lips and white teeth and was extremely handsome, the hooligans actually wanted to get him drunk and then take him to a room to chat..."
At this point, Miss Qin Er finally couldn't help herself, lowered her head, and laughed out loud.
Bai Ling even chuckled.
Song Ruyue's pretty face was gloomy.
The person who was drunk was obviously her!
Lao Zhuang continued to describe the story vividly: "Fortunately, the King of the North was also there at the time. He saw injustice and immediately came to the rescue of the beautiful woman. No, he rescued the handsome man. He saved Mr. Luo. From that day on, the two became good friends."
At this time, a woman in tight clothes with a short knife on her waist suddenly said, "Could it be that those hooligans were deliberately sent by the King of the Northern Territory in order to get close to Mr. Luo? After all, the King of the Northern Territory fell in love with Miss Qin at first sight and thought about her day and night..."
After these words were spoken, the second and first floors fell silent for a moment.
Some people wanted to agree, but they didn't dare.
After all, he was the King of the North, second only to the emperor in Dayan. They didn't dare to speculate or speak ill of him.
After listening to it, Lao Zhuang thought about it for a while, and nodded: "That's also possible."
At this time, Song Ruyue finally couldn't help it, and immediately rushed over and said angrily: "Nonsense! You are talking nonsense! The King of the North is such a heroic figure, he does things openly and uprightly, how could he do such a despicable and shameless thing? Also, you said that the King of the North saved that Mr. Luo, which is also nonsense, it is not true at all! Also, how do you know that Mr. Luo of the Qin Mansion and that Miss Qin have divorced? Do you have any evidence? You don't have any evidence, but you are talking nonsense here, misleading people with your lies, be careful or I will sue you in the government!"
Seeing how excited she was, everyone looked over.
Lao Zhuang smiled awkwardly and said, "Madam, I am a storyteller. I am just telling stories to amuse you. You don't have to take it seriously."
Song Ruyue was still angry and said, "You are deliberately slandering the King of the North! What do you mean by saying that the King of the North fell in love with the young lady of the Qin family at first sight and thought about her day and night? That's simply... bullshit!"
She couldn't help but swear.
This bastard actually said that her daughter Jianjia can't talk or laugh, and is a fool. How hateful!
At this time, the guest next to her immediately advised: "Madam, if you don't want to listen, just leave. Storytellers are just telling interesting stories to amuse everyone. Why take it seriously?"
"That's right, if you don't want to listen, just go downstairs and leave. Don't bother us."
"Of course we respect the King of the North. He is a hero of our Great Yan and a hero in the hearts of our people. That's why we want to hear stories about him. We will naturally be able to tell whether it's true or false. Madam, there's no need to worry about it."
Everyone started to condemn.
Song Ruyue's face suddenly turned red with anger.
At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly roared, jumped up, his body was wrapped in strong wind, his robes fluttered, and he said with eyes wide open: "Who dares to be so presumptuous! Who dares to bully my mother!"
The people standing nearby were so frightened by his roar and terrifying aura that their legs went weak and they almost fell to the ground.
"It's a warrior!"
Someone suddenly reminded in a low voice.
"Go, go, go. Warriors are not easy to mess with. Don't eat your head off."
"The King of the North is the husband of Her Majesty the Queen. This storyteller is really bold. We can't listen to him anymore. Let's go."
At this moment, everyone was awakened by the roar and momentum of the young man in front of them, and left one after another.
Lao Zhuang and the girl named Xiao Qi on the stage immediately lowered their heads to pick up the silver on the ground, and then sneaked away behind the crowd.
"Damn it! Don't run if you can!"
Song Ruyue was still furious, her chest heaving with anger, for her idol, the King of the North, and for her daughter, Miss Qin.
The guests at other tables returned to their seats, lowered their heads to eat, and became quiet.
The stairs and corridors soon became empty.
Song Ruyue returned to her seat and said angrily, "These storytellers love to talk nonsense. None of their stories are true."
At this time, Qin Wenzheng, who was sitting next to her, looked at her and said, "Could it be that Qingzhou and Jianjia's divorce is not true?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Ruyue's face suddenly changed.
There was total silence at the table.
Song Ruyue's face was full of nervousness, as if she had done something wrong. Just when she was at a loss, Qin Chuan suddenly said, "Hey, where's Qingzhou?"
Miss Qin Er said, "Brother Qingzhou has a stomachache and has gone downstairs."
Song Ruyue quickly picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of beef, put it in Qin Wenzheng's bowl, and said in a flattering manner: "Master, eat meat, eat meat quickly."
Qin Wenzheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "Ruyue, are you hiding something from me?"
Song Ruyue was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked at her daughter for help.
Miss Qin smiled and said softly, "Dad, it's nothing serious. Mother will tell you when we get home tonight."
Song Ruyue said hurriedly: "Wei Mo, tell your father, I... I don't dare..."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Actually... Daddy should have known it a long time ago."
After hearing this, Song Ruyue was stunned.
Qin Wenzheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "When did your mother know about this?"
Miss Qin Er said, "I just found out about it not long ago."
Qin Wen Zheng said nothing more and just lowered his head to drink.
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "Master, when did you know?"
Qin Wenzheng said calmly, "Definitely earlier than you."
Song Ruyue: “…”
At this time, Qin Chuan on the side said with a confused look on his face: "Dad, Mom, Wei Mo, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word you say?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not a bad thing anyway. It's something worth celebrating."
As she said this, she glanced at her sister.
Qin Chuan became even more confused.
at the same time.
Luo Qingzhou left the restaurant and followed the storyteller father and daughter quietly.
The two crossed the street and entered an alley.
However, when Luo Qingzhou followed, he suddenly discovered that the father and daughter were no longer in the alley that he could see to the end.
His mind concentrated, and his spirit immediately left his body, flew into the air, and searched everywhere.
However, there was no sign of the two men in the surrounding streets and alleys.
“It’s definitely not right!”
He immediately came back to his senses, rushed out of the alley again, and explored the surroundings.
But still nothing was achieved.
Half of the city’s streets, alleys, and even houses were within his sight, but the father and daughter suddenly seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no trace of them could be found at all.
This ability immediately sent a chill down his spine.
You know, he is at the peak level of Grandmaster, but he lost them while following them, and did not even catch any trace of them.
His heart suddenly trembled.
“Whoosh—”
He did not continue searching, but immediately flashed and returned to the restaurant as fast as possible.
Don't let anything happen there!
Fortunately, when he went upstairs, everyone was safe.
However, my mother-in-law was wiping her tears and looked a little aggrieved. When she saw him coming, she immediately returned to her normal expression.
Luo Qingzhou returned to his seat and sat down.
At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the corridor not far away.
The door of the first box was suddenly pushed open.
Then, a middle-aged man and a young girl walked towards the stairs while eating buns in their hands.
What made him nervous was that this father and daughter were the same ones he had just lost!
He just saw with his own eyes that the father and daughter walked into the alley and went in the opposite direction of the restaurant.
When the other person disappeared in the alley, he immediately left his body and flew into the air, taking in all the pedestrians on the surrounding streets.
There’s no way the other party would turn around and come back!
At this moment, his back suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
"Daddy, that sister is so beautiful."
At this moment, the girl named Xiao Qi suddenly stopped and looked at the table where the Qin family members were sitting.
And her gaze was not at the Second Miss Qin, nor at Bailing and Xia Chan, but at... the First Miss Qin.
Miss Qin was sitting in the shadow of a pillar. She had taken off her veil. Her absolutely beautiful face, even in the shadow, was breathtakingly beautiful.
The middle-aged man turned his head and took a look. He was also stunned. There seemed to be a trace of confusion in his eyes. He said: "Indeed... beautiful, just like a fairy..."
Xiao Qi whispered, "Dad, do you think the young lady from the Qin family that the King of the Northern Territory saw was as beautiful as this sister?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then said, "No, this one... should be more beautiful, unparalleled in the world..."
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Your hands are shaking."
"It's okay, let's go."
The middle-aged man took one last look, turned around and went downstairs.
Xiao Qi also followed quickly.
This time, Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to continue following.
At that moment, he suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure, which made him unable to even get up.
At this moment, his back was soaked with sweat.
Another moment passed.
Everyone in the Qin family had eaten their fill, and Qin Chuan had wolfed down the food on the table, so they had almost finished it.
Qin Wen Zheng led everyone from the Qin family downstairs and paid the bill personally.
Out of the restaurant.
Luo Qingzhou was still tense, looking at the streets around him vigilantly.
Several people got on the carriage.
After returning to Qin's Mansion, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting off the carriage, he was about to help Miss Qin get off when Miss Qin suddenly said, "Brother Qingzhou, help me get off first."
Luo Qingzhou looked at Miss Qin.
As a result, Miss Qin went down from the other side.
At this time, Qin Wenzheng, who had already gone down, suddenly said: "Qingzhou, come to my place later, I have something to tell you."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, father-in-law."
He was somewhat confused.
It’s so late, what does his father-in-law want to talk to him about
Could it be about Miss Qin
He quickly helped Miss Qin Er out of the carriage and asked in a low voice.
Miss Qin Er was also a little confused and said softly: "Wei Mo doesn't know either, but Wei Mo feels that it should not be about the divorce letter."
