Chapter 268 Hot and Sour Rice Noodles (2)

"Although the general in charge of the heavy crossbow is not the highest in the army, the heavy crossbow is very important. Generally speaking, the generals who can take charge of this thing are not ordinary generals." Liu Yuantong came back to report to Bai Zhulue. After checking this Li Zhou, he said, "Although Li is a famous surname, this Li is not an ordinary Li. He is a member of the clan!"

Of course, not all members of the clan have the status of king or marquis. They were all princes at first, but after a few generations, they all lost their titles, but because of their bloodline, they still enjoyed some protection!

"His team has been defeated a long time ago, but compared to ordinary clan members, he himself is relatively progressive, and his martial arts skills are pretty good. After joining the army, he was transferred to be in charge of the heavy crossbow!" Liu Yuan Said, "Because of the heavy crossbow in his hand, his status is not low among the military generals who value the blood of the clan the least!"

For a defeated clan member, Li Zhou had already done a very good job!

"He is the only one in his family now. He just married a wife the year before last year, and now she is pregnant. Normally, such a person would not be willing to sacrifice his life for others easily!" Liu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head when he said this. Shaking his head, his face was full of confusion, "I don't know why he jumped out on his own initiative!"

…

…

As the last injured officer on the street was carried into Dali Temple, the entire Zhuquefang Street fell silent, but the lights in a large house in the same square were turned on at this time.

The person who got off the carriage handed the thick fox fur cloak to the servant and walked into the lobby.

Everyone in the hall raised their heads and looked at the visitor.

"I'm late, I'm late!" the visitor said, with some visible impatience on his face, "This is the first time in many years that someone woke me up in the middle of the night. It's so uncomfortable!"

This complaint immediately attracted a response from everyone.

"If that guy from the Lin family wasn't so paranoid, how could he keep people from sleeping well?" Someone said, with a trace of dissatisfaction flashing across his face, "Looks like he looks smart, but he is a complete fool. He doesn't even have any eyesight. Not even seen! Disturbing dreams in the middle of the night!"

"Isn't that true?" Another person yawned, looking equally tired, "How much energy did I spend training Li Zhou and those people? But now I have to join them all!"

"Forget it, I'll just pick someone later!" Someone was playing with a cricket jar in his hand, opening the lid from time to time, teasing the crickets in the jar, and asking everyone, "Li Zhou won't talk nonsense, will he?" !”

"The people he's sleeping with are all our people, what nonsense can he say?" Someone muttered casually, "And she's pregnant. For the sake of the child in her belly, he doesn't dare to say nonsense!"

"So what about the person next to me?" The cricket player heard the words but disagreed. "There are many people in this world who abandon their wives to save their lives! What's more, he doesn't seem to be satisfied with the wife we ​​arranged!"

"It doesn't matter if you are dissatisfied with your wife. We don't expect to use beauty to tie him down! It's kindness that ties him up!" Another person sneered and said casually, "He was the only one in his family back then. If I hadn't waited, he would have I'm afraid that this rich and powerful son of the clan is still begging for food! He is so grateful to us, so how can he talk nonsense?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate response! The cricket player glanced at everyone and said meaningfully: "You should really be grateful. If we hadn't saved his life back then, he would have been dead long ago!"

…

…

After a bowl of hot and sour noodles, Lin Fei took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, but he was very calm about Liu Yuan's doubts: "Not all clan members are living well, like Li Zhou, who is alone and in trouble. If the clan members without any wealth are not helped and taken care of by others, they will be no better than ordinary people!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuandong and Bai Zhu were stunned: This Li Zhou just jumped out tonight, so they only knew about this person's position in the army, and they didn't know much about the rest.

Lin Shaoqing knows this Li Zhou, could it be...

"Does Lin Shaoqing recognize this Li Zhou?" Liu Yuan asked.

Lin Fei shook his head: "I don't recognize him!"

How could that happen...

"Do you two still remember the wealthy eldest daughter who was robbed back then?" Lin Fei glanced at Liu Yuantong and Bai Zhu, whose expressions suddenly changed, and looked at Wen Mingtang aside.

Wen Mingtang subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at the portrait he was looking at: the eldest daughter in the portrait was beautiful and dignified, with very easy-going features.

After eating the hot and sour noodles, Lin Fei stared at the portrait for a long time! She took a few more curious glances, and Lin Fei pushed the portrait in front of her.

"Li Zhou is from this branch!" Lin Fei pointed at the portrait and said, "This branch has always been the rich and idle people when the Great Rong Dynasty began. When the daughter of the clan was born, her family's wealth It's even more generous! It's a pity that at the height of his prosperity, his father and brother had accidents one after another! In order to prevent the bloodline from being cut off, the eldest daughter simply hired a son-in-law!"

When they heard that "father and brother had accidents one after another", Liu Yuandong and Lin Fei instinctively frowned!

Lin Fei added: "After the marriage, the two were in harmony, but the good times did not last long. The son-in-law fell from a horse while he and his husband were out playing polo, and they couldn't survive the whole night, making the daughter a widow! "

When Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu heard this, they looked at each other subconsciously.

Lin Fei paused for a moment and continued, "Fortunately, my eldest daughter was already pregnant at that time. Although she suffered heavy bleeding on the day of delivery and was close to something unexpected, she still gave birth to a child, and we have a baby!"

Is this girl too unlucky? Even Wen Mingtang on the side looked up at Lin Fei when he heard this.

"After that, she probably felt that the capital was a sad place, so she planned to move back to her hometown! But she encountered an accident on the way back to her hometown, and her people and property were robbed!" Lin Fei said, "Because she was preparing to return to her hometown. , she took away most of the family property with her trip, and only some of the family property left in Beijing was left to be sold in the future! After this incident, only this little family property was left to the three-year-old child!"

"The child was left unsupervised and learned to gamble! He lost all his assets, and by the time Li Zhou was born, there would be nothing left in this one!" After Lin Fei said this, he stopped and looked towards Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu asked them, "What do you two think?"

What do you think? Liu Yuan took a breath: "If he is just lucky, he will be too unlucky!"

"Indeed!" Lin Fei nodded, pointed to a line of small words under the portrait that Wen Mingtang was looking at, and said, "If it's just luck, this eldest daughter who was born in the lunar month, lunar month, lunar month and lunar day is too unlucky!"

When Liu Yuandong and Bai Zhu heard this, their expressions suddenly changed: Although they may not understand the sorcery of those charlatan sorcerers, the horoscopes of "yin, moon, yin, sun, yin and hour" are really too special. It is really those so-called sorcerers who use sorcery. My favorite ever!

Thinking of the human sacrifice related to this case, Liu Yuan suddenly shuddered and blurted out in shock: "Is that daughter of the clan the first person to be chosen to be a human sacrifice?"

If this is the case, who on earth would dare to use his clan daughter to die alive?
