Chapter 356 The Four Heroes of Hengshan
At the morning court session in early April, Zhang Tai, the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, submitted a memorial to the court, accusing Ningyang Marquis Chen Jizu, Anyuan Marquis Liu Wen, the eldest son of Chengguo Duke Zhu Lin, the eunuch governor of the Beijing camp Liu Xi, the eunuch sitting in the camp Cao Zhengchun and others of multiple crimes including false nationality, private labor and occupation.

When Emperor Zhengde heard the news, he was furious and ordered the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Censorate to conduct a thorough investigation, with the assistance of the East Factory.

For a time, the whole court was shocked. Civil officials cursed the traitor, while military officers and nobles lowered their heads and remained silent, fearing that the fire would burn themselves accidentally.

Of course, all this had nothing to do with Ou Zanghua. After dealing with the Jiangxi military officer incident, he made a request to Emperor Zhengde and went to the imperial farm for an on-site investigation.

Therefore, when the capital was shaken, he had already moved from the capital to Wuqing with his family and the entire Honglu Temple.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, so Liu Qing just treated it as an outing and was very happy.

She is already five months pregnant, her belly is more obvious, her chest is several sizes wider, and her whole body looks round and plump.

Ou Zanghua helped her get off the carriage and walked into the imperial villa of Weiyang Palace.

The sunlight, with its unique golden color, gently caresses every inch of space, giving all things the vitality of life.

This warm and peaceful atmosphere is most likely to encourage people to go out for a walk.

Liu Qing held Ou Zanghua's hand, listened to the birds singing, and saw a peach tree in the yard. The buds were deep red and about to bloom.

"Look, my dear," Liu Qing pointed at the peach blossoms and said with a smile, "The peach tree has just sprouted buds, but I know that in a few days, these buds will suddenly be full of flowers as if they were chased by something."

"How did Qingqing know?" Ou Zanghua asked with a smile.

"I saw it when I was in Hengshan!" Liu Qing said with a smile: "Husband, have you forgotten? I also planted one in Fanyin Valley!"

Ou Zanghua nodded and said, "I remember now, there was such a thing."

It’s just that the girl planted the saplings on a whim and then ignored them. Later, when Ou Zanghua and Xiang Danian passed by, they looked for them but couldn’t find them at all. They guessed that she was giving back to nature.

"right!"

Liu Qing suddenly said with some nostalgia: "I don't know what happened to the peach tree I planted. Next time we go back to Hengshan, my husband, please accompany me to take a look!"

"Okay!" Ou Zanghua agreed with a smile, then turned back and glanced at Xiang Danian.

Xiang Danian looked embarrassed, it must be weird that he could still see like this!
After arranging Liu Qing's accommodation, Ou Zanghua decisively found Xiang Danian. Before he opened his mouth, Xiang Danian said, "Brother, don't say anything. I understand! I will go back to Hengshan now."

"What are you going back for? You fool!"

Ou Zanghua pulled Xiang Danian and said, "Write a letter and ask the fellow disciples of Hengshan Sect to help plant peach trees in Fanyin Valley."

"I understand!" Xiang Danian nodded and asked, "Big Brother, do you still remember the location?"

"hiss!."

Ou Zanghua knocked his head. He only remembered that it was planted next to the path, and he could only know the exact location by going to the site.

"Well, ask the brothers to follow the path in Fanyin Valley and plant all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the bottom of Xianglu Peak."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "The reward is the first three chapters of "The Thirteenth Chapter of Linglong Juexiang"."

After hearing this, Xiang Danian said with some envy: "Sure enough, working for the senior brother brings the greatest rewards!"

Ou Zanghua was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had been busy with court affairs during this period and had not had a good exchange with his fellow apprentices, so he said, "It just so happens that I am free tonight, so you can call Weiyi and the three of us can get together."

"Okay!" Xiang Danian agreed immediately, and when he walked out, his steps became much lighter.

As evening arrived, when Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi came together, they found that Liu Qing was also sitting next to them.

"Junior sister, why are you here too?" Mi Weiyi was delighted when he saw Liu Qing, and his pace quickened. Liu Qing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, I heard that you guys are going to have a gathering, and I'm also from the Liu Clan, so why don't you bring me along?"

"Come on, everyone, please sit down!" Ou Zanghua invited everyone to walk into the pavilion in the garden and sit down. There were several delicious dishes on the table.

Xiang Danian took the wine jar and prepared to pour rice wine for everyone, while Ou Zanghua poured Liu Qing a cup of soy milk.

The drink soy milk has appeared in China very early. In "Yi Ya's Legacy" by Han Yi, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, "soy milk" was mentioned and called "tofu milk".

Liu Qing is pregnant, so she should not drink alcohol. Drinking some soy milk can supplement calcium, iron and other nutrients.

"Cheers!" Liu Qing shouted happily, holding up the bowl of soy milk.

The three brothers smiled, picked up their wine bowls and clinked them in the air.

Xiang Danian drank a mouthful of rice wine and said happily, "The last time the four heroes of the Liu family got together to drink was three years ago!"

Mi Weiyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes! We were eating barbecue in the yard of the eldest senior brother. Not long after, the eldest senior brother took the second senior brother to Beijing to take the exam."

Liu Qing took a sip of soy milk and asked curiously, "Wasn't there a party when we got married?"

"No," Mi Weiyi shook his head and said, "Junior Sister and Senior Brother are so busy that they don't have time to get together!"

Ou Zanghua asked with some amusement: "When did we get the nickname of the Liu Clan's Four Heroes?"

"Haha." Xiang Danian explained with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, Senior Brother. This is something Wei Yi and I made up to distinguish it from that stupid Nine Heroes of Nanyue created by Master Lu."

"What is this?" Ou Zanghua became even more confused.

Mi Weiyi explained, "After Master Lu's actions, his five disciples became famous, but it implicated us."

"We are all fellow disciples of Hengshan Sect, so it's okay." Liu Qing said magnanimously after hearing this.

Mi Weiyi said patiently: "Little Junior Sister, don't underestimate this reputation. Life is all about fame and fortune. You see, Junior Brother Cheng has earned the reputation of 'White Knight of Hengshan' by his own efforts. That is the real recognition of the martial arts world. Uncle Lu's move is like forced praise, which is likely to backfire."

After listening to this, Liu Qing felt that what Mi Weiyi said seemed to make some sense.

Ou Zanghua shook her hand and said gently, "Let's not talk about Uncle Lu. It's been a while since I tested the martial arts of my two junior brothers. Come! Fight with me."

Mi Weiyi and Xiang Danian smiled at each other and said, "Then please give us your guidance, Senior Brother!"

The three men flew out of the pavilion, each tore off a bamboo stick from the garden, and used the Hengshan sword technique to attack each other.

Liu Qing stood up, and Shuyan and Huaiwei hurried forward, supporting her on the left and right.

She smiled and commented:
"Well, Second Senior Brother's Hengshan swordsmanship has become more stable."

"Third Senior Brother is indeed someone that Dad has high hopes for. He has even mastered the Thirteen Forms of Clouds and Mists so well."

Huai Wei listened and asked in confusion, "Madam, what about the master's swordsmanship?"

"My husband!"

Liu Qing looked at Ou Zanghua, who was still able to fight two people at once and was still able to teach his two junior brothers skills. She sighed and said, "I don't understand my husband's swordsmanship. I guess there is no swordsman more powerful than my husband in the world!"

The competition soon ended with Xiang Da Nian and Mi Weiyi's defeat. Ou Zanghua pointed out the flaws in their swordsmanship, and patiently analyzed the Hengshan swordsmanship and the Thirteen Styles of Clouds and Mists in detail. Only after he was sure that there was a gleam of sudden enlightenment in the eyes of the two did he turn around with satisfaction and slowly walked into the pavilion.

Originally, he wanted to sit with Liu Qing for a while longer, but he saw that his wife's eyelids were slightly drooping, and the occasional yawn made her look even more cute and naive.

Ou Zanghua felt a warm current in his heart, knowing that the girl was sleepy, so he asked the maids to escort her back to her room to rest.
