son-in-law

Chapter 573
"Well, I'll marry him."

Because of Hongti's simple words, the following dinner was extremely awkward and the atmosphere was weird.

When Zheng Ashuan and other members of Qingmu Village came in, Ning Yi and Zhu Biao, as well as several Zhuji stewards and leaders who came over this time, were already inside.The dining room was not small, with four tables set up. The food was prepared by the chef Zhuji who had followed him this time, but it seemed that Ning Yi and the others were also helping.When everyone came in, Ning Yi was putting a plate of eggs on the table, but for a while, everyone was not in the mood to be surprised by this.

As a simple greeting like a mountain person, Hongti introduced them one by one. After the initial psychological shock passed, everyone sat down at the table, followed by Hongti raising his chopsticks and saying, "Everyone, let's eat." Everyone. Haha laughed dryly and started, the expressions on each other's faces were a little subtle.

Just a curtain away, Zheng Ashuan and others heard what Hongti said, and naturally Ning Yi, Zhu Biao and others also heard it.At this moment, Zhu Biao lowered his head and stuffed it into his mouth, looking like he wanted to laugh but had to hold back, wanted to express his admiration to Ning Yi but couldn't speak.

Ning Yi and Hong Ti sat on the main seat.Such a square table, separated by four directions, with eight people at a table, Ning Yi and Hongti sat on the same bench, facing everyone with a calm expression.In fact, although Hongti and Ning Yi may occasionally appear shy when they are alone, she is open-minded and sincere towards others.Among them, there is the bearing of a master-level master, the majesty that has been accumulated on the mountain for a long time, and the cognition of being open and proud of this relationship.

The fluctuation caused by Ning Yi's climb up the mountain is certainly a hassle, but for her, there is nothing to avoid by introducing the man she likes to her relatives, letting them know this clearly, and then rejoice over it. .Even if there will be suspicion and speculation for a while, that is a problem that must be overcome anyway.

As a big boss, this attitude made everyone dare not show any dissent for a while.When everyone turned their attention to Ning Yi, the young man who was said to have a fierce reputation outside the mountain did not show much abnormality.Generally speaking, this kind of first meeting or inviting a guest to dinner usually involves the action of slaughtering or attracting people's hearts, but all these appearances have not appeared.

While eating, Hongti opened his mouth to introduce everyone's deeds to Ning Yi, from the village owners to the leaders, leaders, and family members in the mountains.Ning Yi would say admiration with a smile and toast with a glass of wine, but he did not show any special compliments or win over.During this period, there was only a small episode when Han Jing, the master of Wuzhai, was introduced.

That was when Ning Yi raised the wine to toast the other party, Han Jing seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Ning is very famous outside the mountain, and his martial arts must be very high. If he has time, can he advise him? a bit……"

He just finished speaking, and Hongti's chopsticks slammed on the bowl: "Fifth brother, you say this when you are eating. If your hands are itchy, I will accompany you." The other four villages on the mountain No one is older than her. She is usually called "Second Uncle", "Third Brother", "Fourth Brother" and "Fifth Brother".Today, she also specially dressed up. At this time, her eyes were condensed, and there was a thin layer of frost on her face.Han Jing smiled bitterly and cupped his hands: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"It doesn't matter." Ning Yi patted the back of Hongti's hand lightly, looked at Han Jing with a smile, and handed over, "My little brother has indeed practiced for a few years. The Jianghu people sent the bandit the bloody hand to kill people, but it was for fame and fame, and his martial arts skills were not high. Yes. But if Fifth Master Han is interested, he might as well learn from each other in the future to confirm each other, and hope that Fifth Master will show mercy when the time comes."

Hong Ti was probably a little helpless about Ning Yi's deliberately emphasizing the bandit's "blood-handed slaughter", but the expression on his face was much softer, and he tilted his head and gestured to the table.

"When it comes to martial arts, Liheng's most powerful subordinate is this Zhu Biao Zhu Shaoxia. I have also played with him before. If the fifth brother is really interested, you can ask him to practice."

Zhu Biao was eating chicken legs when he stood up flattered, his mouth full of oil: "Well, Senior Lu is too complimented, you are pointing me. Fifth master, brother Zhu Biao, Jianghu people sent the bandit the 'Burning City Gun', When he is free, please give the fifth master some pointers, hehe..."

"Good to say, good to say..." Han Jing replied.

Hongti frowned slightly and said with a smile, "Burning City Spear? Why does it suddenly have this name? It sounds really nice."

Ning Yi smiled, not intending to expose the nickname because he helped him when he entered the mountain.Zhu Biao was very happy. He called himself "Burning City Gun" Zhu Biao after he had been promoting himself everywhere these days. At this time, he smiled and said, "Haha, I don't know where it came from. But I also think it's pretty good. of."

"I really thank you all Jianghu people..." Ning Yi whispered with a smile.Hongti glanced at him and felt that most of them were a little tricky, and then continued to introduce them to the companions in the mountains.

In this way, after the meal was over, everyone couldn't figure out what medicine the outsider was selling in the gourd.Meeting and eating, it really becomes a simple meeting and eating.After the dinner, everyone left one after another with a lot of questions, and Ning Yi and Hongti sent them to the courtyard gate.At this time, it was already dark, and the rain had not stopped. Every household in the entire valley showed a faint light. The lanterns shook violently in the rain, leading the crowd to disperse, and disappeared in the rain curtain in a short time.

The sound of servants cleaning up the aftermath came from the yard. After most of the people left, Ning Yi took Hongti's hand, looked at the valley in the night, and found a log under the eaves outside the yard to sit down.This side is close to the valley, and the front is a steep slope or cliff. There is a large drop below where the road winds and there are new small courtyards.There is mud under the eaves, and it becomes slippery in the water. Only the wood against the wall is still dry. The two of them don't mind. They can be alone for a while away from the sight of most people.

With their temperaments and previous emotions, it is not difficult to talk about marriage after entering the mountain.One day earlier, Ning Yi talked about it directly when he was alone, and Hongti didn't know whether to be shy or what to do, but in the end, he naturally agreed.The two had already had a certain degree of physical contact before, and he held his hand and gave him his heart. If it continued to develop, of course, his body would belong to him.Now that he has entered the mountain and opened his mouth, there is nothing to worry about.In fact, with Hongti's temperament, when he was in Dulonggang a year earlier, he was pressed on the bed by Ning Yi at the risk of going crazy, and even stripped his pants. In fact, he had already promised him in his heart.This is also the reason why she said it frankly today.

But... "I'm quite surprised that you said it directly." Holding the woman's hand, Ning Yi said with a smile.

"Did you disrupt your plan? I thought you were going to give them a kick today or something..."

"Hehe, there's no such thing as an exaggeration, it's just a meeting." Ning Yi looked at the rain curtain and said, "It's a long-term process to get them to believe me, and it takes at least a few months to get along. Anyone who can scare someone with a dash of horse power will have to It makes people look down on me. I am here just to help with things, and I will make it clear to them about my future thoughts. If they really don’t want to do it, they cannot be forced. Fortunately, you are still very important in their minds.”

"I should still move them for the time being." Hong mentioned, "But you said yesterday that there is going to be a war..."

"Well, we have to fight." After Ning Yi said this, he was silent for a moment, "As I said yesterday, I came to Luliang, not to bring peace. The Wu Dynasty is weak and difficult to return, and those people in the north have already fought hard, and it will be fine for three years. Even in four years, it will definitely come. Lu Liangshan can protect himself now, and it will definitely be affected in the future. When the time comes, it is time to fight or go. If you want to have the strength to survive, you must start training now."

In the darkness, he inserted his fingers between Hongti's fingers and clasped his hands together: "When you ran around for the stockade, you just wanted to kill fewer people. Now that you've finally stabilized, I'm here to ask you to go to war again. It is a bit troublesome, and some people may not want to, but it is indeed necessary. The situation in the north is actually very anxious. The Jurchen has swept the whole territory of Liao, and it is necessary to stabilize their foundation. The reason is that I will always Say it slowly..."

After Ning Yi said this, Hongti was silent for a while, but then she laughed softly: "Liheng, you underestimate our mountain people. They may not understand the big truth, some simple things. , I still understand. Lu Liangshan is not strong enough, and without strength, it will not survive. You said at the beginning to try to make the surrounding chaos as much as possible, but it was me who did not want to fight. If you want to say that other people, especially the fourth brother and the fifth brother, are really fighting Get up, they are the happiest."

She said in a relaxed tone: "Don't look at the fifth brother's bad attitude towards you, the training method you said, he used the best. The soldiers are trained well, and they can't be pulled out to see blood and open the front. I'm the most unhappy. It is him. We may be able to beat the rabble around us, but everyone has experienced how the Liao people came to fight the grass valley. After the soldiers are trained and see blood again, it is possible to beat the real army in the future. If you want them to treat you as their own right away, I may not be able to do it, and if you say you want them to go out and fight a few battles, they will be very happy."

"It's almost like having a treasured knife and wanting to chop something right away..." Ning Yi nodded and laughed, but his voice was not too loud, "Anyway, this time I came here to do a few things. The blast furnace was tidying up, fighting and training troops. , the most important thing is to get used to the elm cannons and mines that I brought this time, and try to use them as much as possible. The enemy can find it slowly, anyway... Let everyone have fun. I brought two masters who can explore , look for the open-pit coal mine on Luliang's side, which is the place where coal is produced. This is very important... Of course, there is also this stockade. Throwing, I'm afraid the efficiency is not high, this matter, I can help."

Ning Yi thought for a while: "In addition, the stockade can be expanded a bit, and if you add more staff, you can have more bases. I plan to encircle the place where you used to live. For Fu Duanyun, you can arrange for someone to take care of it. ."

In the darkness, amid the sound of rain, Hongti looked at him.Ning Yi tilted his head.

"There will be some regrets in one's life. Some of them will come to your mind after many years. Maybe it is a little troublesome, but it is not impossible, but I didn't do it at the beginning. Since I am here, I can always think of a way to get the best of both worlds. of."

He patted Hongti's arm.

Hongti didn't speak, the sound of rain in the dark, the atmosphere was quiet.After a while, Ning Yi said, "Of course there are things to do with you. It's about time."

Hongti held his hand slightly tighter, Ning Yi turned to look at her, and smiled: "Actually, we have known each other for so long, so many things happened..." He said here, as if he wanted to continue, But he stopped again, and after a long time, he leaned towards Hong Ti in the darkness and whispered, "Close your eyes."

Hongti saw his face approaching, his lips pressed together.She closed her eyes, her heartbeat and breathing became a little faster.In the sound of the rain, the lips that touched her were soft and slightly dry. When Ning Yi put his hand on her shoulder, stroked her neck and the back of her head, she didn't resist, she just reached out and grabbed Ning lightly. Pieces of fabric on Yi's sleeves.This Valkyrie who had been slaughtered and was almost invincible, for a while, seemed as soft as a fragile petal.

After a while, the two returned to sitting next to each other, and their body temperature was clearly transmitted through their bodies.Hongti whispered, "Your... tongue..."

"It's like that..."

"..." Hong Ti also silently agreed.

The two sat there for a long time, even if they had experienced various major events, they were in love with each other, and they couldn't help but feel intimacy.Ning Yi didn't know how many times he took Hongti lightly in the dark, and occasionally chatted about some things. After a while, the two walked hand in hand under the eaves. Occasionally, Ning Yi also held Hongti in his arms, or became intimate. , or look down the mountain together.When the night was about to separate, Hongti whispered: "What about the people below? Everyone in the stockade is very nervous, how should we deal with them?"

"He Yuanwai and Wu Shengjun's gang?" Ning Yi leaned against the wall and hugged her, shaking his head with a laugh, "We negotiate benefits when we are doing business, only if we are willing to do them can we talk about it. "Wu Sheng's army is in Yanmen Pass, can they really raise their troops and move the crowd to fight? If they really dare to fight, they will be buried in Luliang Mountain anyway..."

His palm caressed Hongti's back, feeling the woman's snuggle in his arms, and he thought about it again, and said, "But the time is almost up, starting tomorrow, you can meet them and say something nice, but don't say anything. Promise, I will negotiate with them in private. Whether it is He Yuanwai, Wu Shengjun, Tian Hu... Oh, there is a guy who is said to be an invincible player in the Central Plains, and he may have to deal with it..."

He whispered softly beside Hongti's ear. After speaking, Hongti nodded, stepped back and got out of his embrace, but Ning Yi pulled her back: "You don't have to go now, it's raining so hard..."

Under the eaves in the darkness, there was another chatter.Later, I saw the woman's figure retreating to the back and flying into the rain curtain with a swipe. She jumped out backwards, looking at Ning Yi, only turned around when she entered the rain, and then turned towards the steep The hillside fell.Ning Yi rushed over: "Hey... it's raining..." I saw the woman's figure borrowed a bit on the hillside, fell into a farther place, and disappeared...

The next day, Lou Shuwan and others finally received an invitation from the Blood Bodhisattva to meet outsiders from the mountain...
