Eternal Sword

Chapter 21 Dowry (Please collect and read)

Chen Tang held Li Junqing in his arms and rolled on the snow. He stood up and stared at the scholar in white not far away, feeling confused.

He just realized that the scholar in white seemed to be holding back.

"Haha, you have great skills, little brother."

The scholar in white put away his sword, clasped his hands towards Chen Tang, and said with a smile: "I am Li Zhongmou, I am sorry for offending you just now, I hope you won't blame me, little brother."

"Last name is Li?"

Chen Tang's heart moved.

No matter how deep Li Junqing's sleep was, he woke up in a daze after all this tossing and turning.

Li Junqing stood up and saw the scholar in white before him. Although there was still a hint of confusion in his beautiful eyes, he still recognized him and called out softly, "Second brother, why are you here?"

Li Zhongmou looked at Li Junqing with a look of reproach and a hint of doting, and said, "It's not just me. My eldest brother and third brother have brought people to look for you like crazy. If we hadn't stopped them, Dad would have left the city to look for you."

"what."

Li Junqing blamed himself in his heart and whispered, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Then she seemed to remember something, looked at Chen Tang beside her, and said, "Second brother, I'm lucky to have met Brother Chen today and saved my life, otherwise you really wouldn't be able to see me."

Li Zhongmou was not surprised to hear the words "Brother Chen".

He had just guessed that the name Su Mo was probably fake.

When he first saw Li Junqing lying on Chen Tang, his face flushed and unconscious, he thought to himself that something was wrong.

I thought Li Junqing had been murdered.

Moreover, Chen Tang went to Changze County without telling anyone, which made Li Zhongmou more inclined to believe that he had ulterior motives.

However, he has always been calm and composed, and did not act rashly, which led to the test just now.

After learning from Li Junqing that Chen Tang was her savior, Li Zhongmou suddenly became solemn. He stepped forward again, clasped his fists towards Chen Tang, bowed, and said solemnly: "Thank you, brother Chen, for saving my sister. I will always be grateful for your kindness."

"fine."

Chen Tang waved his hand casually.

"Since your brother is here, I'll leave first."

After Chen Tang safely delivered the person, he put his worries aside, said hello, and turned to leave.

Li Jun looked at Chen Tang's back, pursed his lips and said nothing. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his voice and asked, "Brother Chen, can we meet again?"

"It should work."

Chen Tang said, "If you have a chance to go to Wu'an County, you might meet him."

Li Zhongmou noticed the reluctance in Li Junqing's eyes, and with a change of mind, he quickly stepped forward, took out a token from his waist, handed it to Chen Tang and said, "Brother Chen, please accept this token. When you arrive in Wu'an County in the future, take the token to Li Mansion and you will be able to find us."

"Li House?"

A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Tang's mind.

In this world, most of the families that can be called families are not simple, they are either rich or noble.

Originally, Chen Tang heard Li Junqing say that she had been broken off in an engagement and had been criticized, and he thought her family was very ordinary.

Now it seems that they should be a wealthy family.

"Row."

Chen Tang did not refuse and took it and put it in his arms.

"gone."

Chen Tang waved his hand and set off again.

Not long after, it disappeared into the night.

Li Junqing looked at the direction where Chen Tang left, without saying a word for a long time.

"Everyone's gone, why are you still watching?"

Li Zhongmou smiled and joked.

Li Junqing came back to his senses after hearing this, and then he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and did not dare to look into Li Zhongmou's eyes.

Li Zhongmou smiled slightly and asked, "Can you still ride a horse?"

"it should be OK."

Li Junqing felt his physical condition and was surprised.

Before going to bed, she had no strength, was weak, and her ankle hurt a lot.

But after waking up, not only did the wound heal, but my ankle was no longer as painful and the swelling had even gone down. I felt warm all over and full of energy.

How could she know that what she drank earlier was actually the world's rarest Tianshen Monkey Wine, which was more effective than any panacea.

Relaxing the muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis are no problem. With the help of Li Zhongmou, Li Jun climbed onto the horse.

Li Zhongmou led the horse and headed towards Wu'an County.

"Tell your brother what happened."

Li Zhongmou asked on the way.

Li Junqing concealed the incident in which he lost his composure after drinking and had an intimate relationship with Chen Tang, and told him everything else without hiding anything.

"Rare, rare."

When Li Zhongmou heard this, the look of surprise in his eyes became even stronger, and he praised him repeatedly.

"So, he didn't know your identity or family background at all. He just met you by chance and helped you. And just now, he protected you down the mountain just because of a promise he made, even at the risk of his own life."

"He takes life and death lightly, but he values ​​his promises. This man has the demeanor of a chivalrous warrior. I am not as good as him."

When Li Junqing heard that his second brother praised Chen Tang very much, he felt happy and couldn't help but smile.

Over the years, Li Junqing has been under too much pressure and criticism, and Li Zhongmou has rarely seen this kind of heartfelt joy on his sister's face.

Li Zhongmou smiled and said, "Jun Qing, you have a good eye."

"Second brother, what are you talking about!"

Li Junqing's face flushed slightly, and then she sighed softly and said, "I won't get married."

"Are you really not going to get married from now on?"

Li Zhongmou said, "It's rare to find a man who catches your eye. It can be considered fate. And this man is indeed good. However, his background seems a bit ordinary, and he doesn't seem to be a good match for our family."

"Dad won't agree."

Li Junqing also shook his head.

"What are you afraid of? We are here for you."

Li Zhongmou comforted him, "Big Brother dotes on you the most. He will definitely support anyone you like. I admire chivalrous men like Brother Chen the most, and I will stand by your side."

"As for your third brother, there is no need to say more. This brother Chen's temperament is most in line with your third brother's. If your third brother saw him, I'm afraid he would like him very much and would definitely invite him to drink with him."

"With the three of us standing by your father's side to speak well of you, are you still worried that this won't work?"

Li Jun lowered his head slightly, his face flushed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

She put her hands over her ears and her burning face, and said, "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Zhongmou laughed when he saw this.

Li Junqing's movement was a little too big and he felt something strange in his chest. He couldn't help but frown slightly and reached out to touch it.

Li Zhongmou pondered and said, "But this person looks like he comes from a poor family. I'm afraid he can't afford any betrothal gifts. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing for my father."

"what!"

At this moment, Li Junqing let out a cry of surprise.

"how?"

Li Zhongmou quickly glanced sideways and saw that Li Junqing was holding a ginseng that had taken a human shape.

"This is……"

Li Zhongmou observed carefully, somewhat hesitant to confirm.

"Top-quality ginseng..."

Li Junqing's eyes turned red, his vision gradually blurred, and he murmured softly: "He, he still gave it to me."

"Top-quality ginseng? Did he give it to you?"

Li Zhongmou was shocked.

This thing is so valuable!

He reached out and took it, examining it carefully, and found that it was indeed correct.

Afterwards, Li Zhongmou was secretly delighted and laughed loudly: "Jun Qing, this is the betrothal gift. It's done!"

"what?"

Li Junqing asked with tears in her eyes.

Li Zhongmou said, "Father has been ill for a long time. Give him this top-quality ginseng. When the time comes, you can say it was a gift from Brother Chen. Even if he objects to this marriage, he won't be able to speak up!"

In the Wu'an Prefecture, a man in his fifties stood in the yard, his brows furrowed, his face filled with worry, and he had not slept all night.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a sore nose and sneezed.
