Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

Lu Wushuang, Qu Feiyan and Hong Lingbo simply showed disgust on their faces, and cursed her in a low voice, calling her a vixen, deliberately letting Lin Xian'er hear it.

Lin Shiyin and Mu Nianci glanced at Lin Xianren and continued to work seriously on their breakfast.

Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Zhong Ling and Yue Lingshan simply ignored Lin Xian'er, as if they didn't hear it.

"Husband, this scallion omelet tastes good." Wang Yuyan picked up a small piece of scallion omelet with her chopsticks and handed it to Chen Liu's mouth.

Chen Liu opened his mouth and took a bite of the scallion omelet. He put it in his mouth and chewed it twice. He nodded slightly and said, "It's really good."

Lin Xianer: ...

"I'm leaving." After swallowing the scallion omelet, Chen Liu said to Lin Xian'er.

"Let's go?" Lin Xian'er said with a panicked look on her face, "Brother Chen Liu, where are you going?"

"Of course we're going to the capital! We originally wanted to go there to see the excitement, but we ran into Shiyin here and stayed for a long time. Now that things are over, it's time for us to leave."

"Then what should I do?" Lin Xian'er was so anxious that she looked like she was about to cry.

"Mrs. Long, go hire some bodyguards to protect the house. Brother Li should have left quite a bit of money for you."

The word "Mrs. Long" completely woke Lin Xian'er up. Chen Liu was reminding her to be careful about her identity.

Yes, she is now Long Xiaoyun’s widow!

Widow!

Looking at the intimate interactions between Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan and the other girls, Lin Xian'er suddenly felt that Li Yuan didn't seem so beautiful anymore.

After breakfast, Chen Liu said goodbye to Lin Xian'er and Li Zhi, the steward of Li Garden. He ignored Lin Xian'er's attempts to keep him and her hints, and took Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, Lin Shiyin and other girls with him and rode away on the good horses prepared for them by Li Xunhuan, which made Lin Xian'er so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Li Zhi looked at Lin Shiyin, who seemed to have no lingering feelings, and his heart was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. The young master was gone, and the young lady had also left with someone else. This Li Yuan was no longer Li Yuan. He also planned to retire after explaining everything clearly.

The north was different from the south. In the south, it was difficult to find a good horse, and even if one was available, it was extremely expensive. However, in the north, the situation was different. Good horses were plentiful and much cheaper. Furthermore, the Li family had business dealings with the Western Regions, so while a thousand-mile horse was hard to find, a strong one was still easy to acquire. Furthermore, the Li family already had over a dozen fine horses, including three thousand-mile horses. Li Xunhuan simply gave them all to Chenliu. After all, if he didn't give them away, it would only benefit Lin Xian'er.

Lin Shiyin was still a weak woman with no martial arts skills. Although she could ride a horse, her body was too delicate, so she couldn't walk fast. And after just half a day of walking slowly, her thighs gave out. Chen Liu had wanted to find her a carriage, but Lin Shiyin refused. After all, the other sisters were riding horses, so what would it look like for her to ride alone?

Fortunately, Chenliu is not in a hurry, and Baoding is not far from the capital, only about three or four hundred miles away. Even if we walk slowly, it will take two or three days at most to get there, so let's walk slowly.

Chapter 194: Taihang Swarm

Because Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng was going to duel swords with Ximen Chuxue on the top of the Forbidden City on the full moon night of August 15th, the entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty was in an uproar. Regardless of whether they were swordsmen or not, countless martial artists did not want to miss this event. Even many foreign martial artists rushed to the capital of the Ming Dynasty after hearing the news.

As he got closer to the capital, Chen Liu encountered more and more martial artists. Some were traveling alone, some in groups. Some were elders bringing their juniors to broaden their horizons, and some were young knights and heroines who had escaped.

Few martial artists have good tempers, and most enjoy fighting. When Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan and the other girls arrived at a roadside inn, they saw seven or eight martial artists besieging a young boy and girl.

Chen Liu had seen that young man and woman before. They rode on tall horses and galloped past Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and the other girls, raising so much dust that it almost landed on them. Fortunately, all of Chen Liu's group, except Lin Shiyin, knew martial arts, and Wang Yuyan was a master. With Wang Yuyan's wave of her hand, she blew away the dust, saving them from becoming dustmen.

Therefore, when he saw the flamboyant boy and girl again, Chen Liu had no intention of helping them.

When traveling the underworld, the most important thing is to keep a low profile. If you are too ostentatious, you will easily get beaten up. This young man and woman were too ostentatious, and they had no experience in the underworld. After learning a few tricks, they thought they were the boss and he was the second in command. Sooner or later, they would suffer losses.

For example, when they ran past Chen Liu, the dust they raised almost splashed on their faces. If someone had a worse temper, they would have chased them and beaten them on the spot.

There were quite a few customers at the inn, most of them quacks on their way to the capital. Seeing the young man and woman being attacked, none of them intervened. Some looked on indifferent, some watched with interest, and some, with less respect, watched the besieged girl and her friends tease her about her appearance and figure.

The girl's face and figure are really nice. Although her face is a little dark, her face is as beautiful as a flower, pretty and charming, and her figure is also curvy. She is a rare beauty.

The young woman was already in a critical situation, surrounded by the thugs and the obscenities, further exacerbated by the surrounding gang members' tirade. Her clothes were ripped several times, revealing Bai Ning beneath. Fortunately, the young man beside her had excellent swordsmanship and helped her block several attacks, allowing her to hold out until now. However, if nothing unexpected happened, their defeat was inevitable.

"Let's take a break?" Chen Liu looked at the boy and girl who were being besieged, then looked at the wild shop, and turned to Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong and the other girls.

"Okay!" Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong and other girls nodded, and Lin Shiyin even breathed a sigh of relief.

She had never ridden a horse for so long, especially as an ordinary person. Even though Chen Liu had specially padded her saddle, it was still very uncomfortable. Furthermore, the skin on her inner thighs had been rubbed off, leaving a burning pain.

"Shiyin, let me help you down." Chen Liu got off the horse and walked to Lin Shiyin's horse, opening his arms towards her.

Lin Shiyin's face turned slightly red. She kicked the saddle away, opened her arms, bent down and hugged Chen Liu's neck.

Chen Liu carried Lin Shiyin off the horse and put her on the ground. Lin Shiyin's legs went weak and she almost fell, but fortunately Chen Liu supported her in time.

"I asked you to take a carriage, but you refused."

"My sisters aren't sitting down, and I feel embarrassed to sit alone." In fact, Lin Shiyin also felt a little regretful. She was too stubborn and only made herself suffer.

"They are different from you."

When Chen Liu walked into the inn, holding Lin Shiyin's hand, the guests glanced at them and quickly turned their heads, perhaps lowering their heads. Even though Chen Liu's group, except for him, was entirely female, each with a graceful figure, and though their features couldn't be clearly seen due to the veils, they were likely quite good-looking. While the Jianghu people were ruthless and courageous, they were also very discerning, always assessing their own strength before a fight.

The dirt road leading to the capital was dusty, yet Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and the other women were all wearing clean clothes. This was something ordinary people couldn't possibly have imagined. Furthermore, Chen Liu and his companions rode tall, strong, and robust horses. Some experts in the martial arts world could even tell that Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and Lin Shiyin's horses were all truly magnificent. Such people were either wealthy or noble, and among them were undoubtedly experts.

"If there's anything to eat, pick up the good ones. And bring me a pot of good tea."

"Okay, sir." The boss quickly asked the waiter to serve food and tea to Chen Liu and his group.

"What's going on?" Chen Liu pointed at the besieged boys and girls and asked the boss.

The boss glanced outside and said in a low voice, "It seems those two were riding too fast, kicking up dust that fell on those people."

Chen Liu understood.

[As expected, I guessed it right.]

"Ah!" The girl was stabbed again, but the person who stabbed her only cut her clothes and did not hurt her body, but the girl still couldn't help but scream.

"Cousin! Ah!" The young man was immediately shocked and angry, and quickly stood in front of his cousin, but because he cared about his cousin, he was cut on the arm and could not help but cry out in pain.

The young man shouted, "I am Wang Xiaofeng, the disciple of the Shui Daishi, the Water Hero of the Southern Four Wonders. This is my cousin, Shui Sheng, the daughter of the Water Hero. Do you really want to go against the Southern Four Wonders?"

"Huh?" Chen Liu couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when he heard that the boy and girl were Wang Xiaofeng and Shui Sheng.

I didn't expect to run into them here. It wouldn't be surprising if it was them. In the original novel, Shui Sheng actually crushed Di Yun's leg with one kick from her horse.

Shui Sheng? The heroine of "The Untold Story"? Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, and the other women had all heard this name in Chen Liu's inner voice, and they couldn't help but secretly glance at her. No wonder she should have been fine just now, but suddenly froze and was stabbed? She probably also heard her husband (Brother Chen Liu)'s thoughts and was influenced by him (Brother Chen Liu).

"What's this about falling flowers and running water?" The group besieging Shui Sheng and Wang Xiaofeng laughed heartily. The leader smirked, "You two little bastards rode your horses and threw dust all over our faces, soiling my new clothes. So, we're all going to Taihang to grab this pretty girl and throw dust all over her face too. Isn't that too much?"

Upon hearing this, the martial artists present suddenly changed color.

The Taihang swarm consisted of thirteen bandits who had roamed the mountains for years, yet no one could defeat them. The ten bandits at the bottom of the swarm weren't particularly skilled, but the three leaders—Golden Bee, Black Bee, and Yellow Bee—were truly innate masters. Furthermore, the Taihang Mountains were vast, and they were familiar with the terrain. Even when a master went to attack them, they ultimately escaped, killing many of the master's disciples, leaving him utterly devastated.

There were some righteous martial artists among the people present, but when they thought about the strength of themselves and Taihang, they decided to give up and not mess with them.

Is Taihang Mountain a swarm of bees? Chen Liu had also heard of the notoriety of the Taihang Mountains. When he was traveling from Huashan to Baoding, he passed through Taihang Mountain, but he did not encounter a swarm of bees.

Chen Liu carefully observed the seven or eight men surrounding Wang Xiaofeng and Shui Sheng, and thought to himself, "Isn't this Taihang group too weak? They only have two first-rate masters, and the rest are second- or third-rate warriors."

Chapter 195 Goodbye Sun Xiaohong

"Husband." Wang Yuyan looked at Chen Liu.

"No rush." ​​Chen Liu understood what Wang Yuyan meant. She wanted to ask him whether he wanted to save Shui Sheng and Wang Xiaofeng.

He definitely had to rescue her. After all, Chen Liu had met the four Southern Wonders, Luo Hua Liu Shui, during Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony. While Hua Tiegan had become a villain in the critical moment, the other three were still decent. And Shui Sheng was a heroine! Even if he didn't flirt with her, he didn't want to see her snatched away by the Taihang gang. But there was no need to rush; they had to be taught a lesson.

"Just keep an eye on them and don't let Shui Sheng's life be in danger." Chen Liu whispered.

Wang Yuyan nodded slightly. Even if Chen Liu hadn't ordered her to, she wouldn't put Shui Sheng's life in danger. After all, Shui Sheng could hear Chen Liu's inner thoughts. Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong had discussed privately what significance these people, who could hear Chen Liu's inner thoughts, held for him. Was it simply to keep them around Chen Liu and become his women? Huang Rong felt it wasn't that simple.

Huang Rong even considered experimenting with the effects of one of them dying. However, they couldn't fight each other. Fighting was fine, but killing each other wasn't. Furthermore, they were so familiar with each other that while there would be competition, killing each other was out of the question. If they wanted to experiment, they could only wait until they met someone they disliked and had them killed.

"So it's the Taihang swarm," Yue Lingshan whispered. "I heard they're a very vicious gang of bandits, led by thirteen leaders, all of whom are skilled in martial arts. But judging by their modest martial arts skills, I suspect they're just the swarm's minions."

[I see. This explains why these people's martial arts skills are so poor. However, if there are minions, there must be a leader. When bandits go out, there is usually a leader leading the group. Perhaps the leader saw that Shui Sheng and Wang Xiaofeng were not very strong, so he did not take action personally.]

Chen Liu glanced around the customers at the inn and noticed that most of them looked fearful. Only four of them were quite calm. Two of them were middle-aged men sitting in the corner. The other two were one old and one young. One of them was a young girl with two long braids, who was smiling at him.

Chen Liu:......

[Holy crap, Old Man Tianji and Sun Xiaohong? They even met, isn't that too much of a coincidence?]

Qu Feiyan, whose attention had been drawn to Shui Sheng, suddenly turned around, lifted the veil, and called out in surprise, "Sister Xiaohong!"

"Sister Feiyan!"

"Why are you here?" Qu Feiyan ran towards Sun Xiaohong.

"Hehe! Of course it's me!" Sun Xiaohong chuckled, "In two months, the Lord of Baiyun City will have a sword fight with Ximen Chuxue. How could I miss such a lively event? But you, back in Hengyang City, you suddenly disappeared. I thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to be alive. How come you're with Master Xihua?"

A flower-loving young man? The jianghu people present were startled upon hearing the conversation between Sun Xiaohong and Qu Feiyan. Chen Liu was now a relatively well-known figure in the Ming Dynasty. However, Chen Liu's most famous reputation wasn't for injuring the Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe and the Donghua Mountain sword sect's top disciple Linghu Chong with a single sword strike, nor was it that he was a disciple of the Song Dynasty's Celestial Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, but rather that he was surrounded by over a dozen stunning beauties.

Gossip is the fastest-spreading news in the martial arts world. Therefore, Chen Liu is most famous not for his swordsmanship or his master, but for his romantic encounters.

In the morning, the Jianghu people secretly glanced at the beauties around Chen Liu who had lifted the veils or taken off the curtains, and thought to themselves: He is indeed a young man who cherishes flowers. Only a young man who cherishes flowers can have so many stunning beauties around him.

Seeing the appearance of Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing, Lin Shiyin and other women, even many young martial artists who lacked self-control and lust were a little distraught.

"Sister Xiaohong, please don't call my brother Chenliu 'Young Master Xihua'. He hates this name the most. I don't know which bastard gave it to him. He said that if he finds out, I'll beat his head off."

Sun Xiaohong shrank her head and chuckled twice. She absolutely could not let Chen Liu know that this name was chosen by her.

"My grandfather is dead!" Qu Feiyan seemed a little sad and said, "Before he died, my grandfather entrusted me to my brother, so I followed my brother."

"Is your grandfather dead?" Sun Xiaohong was a little surprised.

Although the Sun family's intelligence network was powerful, they were unable to find the whereabouts of Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng who were burned to ashes. They only found out that Fei Bin of the Songshan School had been cut into a human stick, and his facial features had been shaved off beyond recognition.

Zuo Lengchan was naturally furious when he learned about this and sent the Twelve Guardians of the Songshan Sect to investigate the whereabouts of Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng. However, the only people who knew that Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng were dead were Chenliu Wang Yuyan, Qu Feiyan, and Mo Da.

Mo Da is not a talkative person, and neither are Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, Qu Feiyan and other girls. Therefore, the only ones who know that Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng are dead are Chen Liu, the girls around him, Mo Da, and now Sun Xiaohong and Old Man Tianji.

"My grandfather..." Qu Feiyan wanted to say that her grandfather and Liu Zhengfeng were too badly injured by the Songshan Sect's Chief Protector Ding Min and Second Protector Lu Bai, and died without success. However, she realized that this was not the place to talk, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Xiaohong, you don't know Sister Yuyan and the others yet, right? Come, let me introduce them to you."

Qu Feiyan pulled Sun Xiaohong over to the table Chen Liu had put together and said, "Brother Chenliu, Sister Yuyan, this is my good friend Sun Xiaohong. Sister Xiaohong, this is Sister Yuyan, and this is Sister Rong'er..."

Qu Feiyan introduced them one by one. Sun Xiaohong couldn't help but murmur in her heart, "If Lian Xing is missing, there will be Lin Shiyin, and this Lin Shiyin is also very beautiful, not inferior to Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong. Calling Chen Liu brother Xihua Gongzi is wrong, he should be called a big pervert."

Except for Lin Shiyin, Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, Mu Nianci and other girls all knew that Sun Xiaohong could hear Chen Liu's thoughts just like them, so they were quite nice to her.

After greeting Sun Xiaohong, Chen Liu once again looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the corner, drinking contentedly, and thought to himself, "It seems these two must be the leaders of this group, but I don't know who they are."

"Brother Chenliu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with those two people?" Huang Rong asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." After a pause, Chen Liu whispered, "Those two are probably the leaders of the swarm."

"Those are the Red Bee and the Blue Sting Bee." Sun Xiaohong glanced at the two middle-aged men and explained in a low voice, "The Red Bee was formerly called the Red-legged Bee. It's the leader of the Taihang bee pack, second only to the three main leaders, the Golden Bee, the Black Bee, and the Yellow Bee. Only masters above the Xiantian stage in the Taihang bee pack are given the right to name bees with single names. The others have double names, such as the Red-legged Bee, the Green-backed Bee, the Purple-ringed Bee, and so on. He had just broken through to the Xiantian stage, so he removed the Red-legged Bee's legs and changed it to the Red Bee."
