Chapter 052 The conversation is a bit weird
After brushing so many character cards, Lu Sen finally figured out that the attribute bonus of "Woman" is relatively high.
For example, if Mu Guiying had not married into the Yang family as a teenager, two of the four characteristics would have to be removed, leaving only "female chivalrous woman" and "female village chief".
In this case, the attribute bonus is indeed very good, but not as amazing as the previous four.
In other words, people grow.
So your target is one of Zhao Bilian or Yang Jinhua?
Train them up again?
Then he laughed in silence, thinking how arrogant he was. Did he really think he could marry them just because he wanted to?
At least we need to develop some feelings first.
But you have to choose one first so you can focus on developing your relationship.
Both of them are very good. Yang Jinhua is lively and cute, and very capable.
Zhao Bilian is able to gather people's hearts, and Lu Sente likes her very much, so it is difficult to choose.
He walked towards the cottage. The night in Hangzhou was quite lively, but compared with Bianjing City, it still seemed a little deserted.
As we walked, it started to rain heavily.
It was a heavy rain, with strong winds and loud thunder.
The crowd on the street was almost dispersed in an instant.
Lu Sen hid under the eaves of the street and waited until two incense sticks later when the rain subsided before he set out again.
There were not many people on the streets at midnight, and with the heavy rain, there was no one to be seen in the alleys and lanes that Lu Sen took on his way back.
A moist breeze blew into Lu Sen's nose as he stepped on the bluestone road. The night city of Hangzhou after the rain had a cool and tranquil beauty, just like a girl who had just emerged from a bath in a clear lake.
The street was very quiet, with only Lu Sen's footsteps echoing.
He walked leisurely and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.
But not long after, I heard hurried footsteps coming from behind me, from far away to near, from quiet to clear, in just two seconds.
He turned around and saw two red figures rushing towards him from behind, so fast that they almost left afterimages.
In the darkness, they looked like two ghosts.
Then, while he was stunned, the red figure in the front had already rushed behind Lu Sen, and then the cold iron object was placed on his neck.
Lu Sen didn't even see what the red figure looked like.
The second red figure suddenly stopped and looked at Lu Sen from ten feet away.
It was Zhan Zhao wearing red official uniform.
He glanced at Lu Sen nervously, then looked at the person holding Lu Sen hostage, and said angrily: "Despicable!"
"Hee, I can't outrun you, so I have to use this method. Get out of the way, or I'll kill this Song guy right away."
Then a small hand pressed down on Lu Sen's left shoulder, controlling him tightly.
Lu Sen heard a clear and pleasant voice behind him, obviously a female voice.
Moreover, when the other party held Lu Sen hostage, he was almost sticking to him, and he could feel a warm, heaving, yet quite energetic body behind him.
Zhan Zhao frowned and slowly took two steps back.
Lu Sen immediately figured out what was going on.
I told Zhan Zhao the news about the Semu prostitute a few hours ago. Now the person holding me hostage is a woman. It is obvious that the person behind me is Ai Jieli.
Zhan Zhao chased her here.
"Captain Zhan, take action!" Lu Sen smiled.
Then he suddenly stepped back heavily with his right leg, and at the same time, he grabbed Ai Jieli's hand on his left shoulder with both hands.
"Ah You!"
Since almost all of Alijie's attention was on Zhan Zhao, and she thought that the person she had held hostage in a desperate situation was just an ordinary Song person.
So no one expected that Lu Sen would resist.
First, the instep of her right leg was stepped on by Lu Sen, almost breaking the bone. At the same time, her left hand was grabbed, which made her even more shocked.
She didn't understand why the Song people she captured were not afraid but resisted instead.
But her well-trained instinct made her subconsciously drag the scimitar that was on the Song man's neck.
Only a loud noise was heard, as if something was cutting into a block of iron, but there was not even a scratch on the fair neck of the Song man.
This! Ai Jieli was stunned.
It was just a moment, and then a golden sword pierced the cheek of the Song man she was holding, and then shook slightly.
The long sword hit Ai Jieli's temple directly.
After a bang, she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
Lu Sen felt that the woman behind him had no strength left, so he let go of his hands and let her body slide down.
Zhan Zhao put away his sword, turned his head to look at Lu Sen's neck, and said with some fear: "Lu Xiaolang, you are too bold. What if the opponent has a magical weapon and breaks your martial arts? The martial arts of these Semu assassins are somewhat weird."
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I am confident that I dare to do this."
"I will take this female prisoner back to the prison first." Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and said, "She is a serious criminal. After the martial arts conference is over, she must be taken back to Kaifeng Prefecture and handed over to Prefect Bao for punishment."
"Goodbye." Lu Sen said with a smile.
Zhan Zhao nodded, walked over, grabbed Ai Jieli's clothes by the back, and dragged her forward, letting the woman's lower body drag on the puddle-filled ground, with no intention of showing any mercy.
Lu Sen was also not going to show any mercy to women. He turned around and continued to walk slowly forward.
When I returned to the door of the cabin, I saw Heizhu walking back and forth anxiously at the door.
Seeing Lu Sen, Hei Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then walked over and asked, "My dear, you are finally back. I have boiled some water for washing your feet. Soaking for a while can remove moisture from your body and help you sleep."
"sorry to bother you."
"This is what a villain should do."
After soaking his feet, Lu Sen lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
To him, helping Zhan Zhao capture Ai Jieli was just an episode and he didn't take it seriously at all.
But this is not the case for Ai Jieli.
When she woke up, she was already in the prison, in a solitary cell for female prisoners.
His feet were shackled with heavy shackles, his clothes were intact and he had no injuries, but his pants were completely wet and covered with yellow mud.
Looking around, there are several cells nearby, each of which holds several female prisoners.
When they saw Ai Jieli, they all looked at her with contempt.
The Semites themselves were not taken seriously by the Song people, and even the criminals looked down upon the Semites who had committed crimes.
Ai Jieli tried to pull the shackles with both hands, but quickly gave up.
Then she looked around her cell and finally went to sit down on the straw pile in the corner.
A musty pile of straw is better than a cold floor.
She recalled what had just happened and frowned.
Soon Zhan Zhao came in, stood in front of the cell, and asked, "Oiran Ai Jie Li, if you are willing to tell me how many accomplices you have, I can plead with Bao Fu Yin to reduce your sentence."
At this time, Ai Jie Li raised her head and asked, "Is the person I just held hostage a magician from your Song Kingdom?"
"Magician?" Zhan Zhao frowned. "A magician is just a magician. Why add the word 'magic'? It sounds like someone from the magic world. Who is that person? What does it have to do with you?"
"Of course it is related." Ai Jieli spoke standard Song dialect. She stood up and said, "We came to Song just to find the lost mountain garden. We didn't expect anything else. Anyone who possesses mysterious powers may have come into contact with the mountain garden."
Zhan Zhao didn't believe it, "You knew that hiding the armor was tantamount to treason, but you still hid five of them. You don't look like you are here to look for something."
"Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to deal with the mysterious power." Ai Jieli chuckled: "No matter where the mountain garden is, it always belongs to us, to Hassan."
"They are evil cult followers. I don't know what they are talking about." Zhan Zhao shook his head and turned to leave.
It's very late now, he needs to take a rest and replenish enough mental and physical strength to take part in the fight tomorrow.
Time quickly came to the next day.
Lu Sen got up, washed his face, and took Heizhu to a street stall to eat some soy milk and fried dough sticks, and then went to the venue of the martial arts conference.
I happened to meet Ouyang Chun on the way.
The man with green eyes and purple beard came over to talk to him and said with a smile, "Lu Xiaolang, you got up really early. There is still about half an hour before the duel starts. Can I take you to meet your friends from other sects during this time?"
"Very good!" Lu Sen clasped his hands together.
He has now made up his mind to return to Bianjing City to choose one of Zhao Bilian and Yang Jinhua and find a way to marry her home.
But this does not stop him from continuing to brush character cards. What if he encounters some rare cards?
So he followed Ouyang Chun and met people from other sects or martial arts families.
It took about half an hour before the government officials arrived.
Sima Guang, who was heavily protected by soldiers, still did not say a word to the people in the martial arts world and went straight to sit on the high platform.
Just as Lu Sen was about to leave and return to the observation deck, two men from the caravan came over and asked in a low voice: "Lu Xiaolang, are there any other women who are good at giving birth?"
Lu Sen pointed out the two female warriors and said with a smile, "Why, do you really want to propose marriage for your sons?"
"Of course." The two caravan men laughed.
Not only that, early this morning, their people asked at the port and found out that there is someone among the Semites who can get some top-quality war horses.
Just need more money.
As the largest gang in the world, it is easy for the Ma Gang to come up with money, and... if the money is really not enough, they can always ask for help from their backers.
So now they are quite convinced by Lu Sen's words.
When Lu Sen left the circle of Jianghu people, he felt someone was looking at him. He turned around and found it was Bai Yutang.
The two sides nodded to each other, which was considered a greeting.
After Lu Sen walked away, Han Zhang, the second rat, walked up to Bai Yutang and said, "Thank you, fifth brother, for this time. Otherwise, I might have been hunted to death by him."
"Brother, what polite words are you saying? We five brothers stand together. If you say something like that again, I will be angry."
"well."
Lu Sen returned to the observation deck and sat with Hei Zhu.
Soon, the fight started again.
The top thirty are all top masters, and the fight is really exciting.
After all the dodging and maneuvering, when the top ten were decided, most of the arena was rotten, so they had to stop the fight, and then they urgently dispatched dozens of carpenters and a large amount of wood to repair it.
After it was barely usable, the competition began again.
It has to be said that Bai Yutang is very strong and can defeat most of his opponents within a stick of incense.
But unfortunately, there was someone stronger, and finally he ran into Ouyang Chun.
Ouyang Chun held a wooden broadsword and defeated Bai Yutang with only three strikes of the sword.
Powerful internal energy was attached to the wooden sword. Ouyang Chun's lightness skills were also extremely high, without any flaws. Every strike of his sword could force Bai Yutang to block head-on.
Although Bai Yuting blocked the first two attacks, the third attack directly cut off the wooden sword in Bai Yuting's hand, and half of the arena collapsed.
Bai Yutang, who fell to the stage after releasing the force, looked at the tattered wooden stage and smiled indifferently. As long as he didn't lose to Zhan Zhao, he could accept it.
Then Zhan Zhao came out and offered prizes to the top five.
Because the court was recruiting people from all walks of life and wanted to incorporate them into its own system, the court showed great sincerity this time.
The top ten all hold official positions, the only difference is the size of their positions.
In this way, at least the combat power of five to ten sects can be won over for one's own use.
After sending out the prize money, Zhan Zhao said, "Within half a year, please take your name cards to the Ministry of Rites in the capital to report. The officials of the Ministry of Rites will grant you official positions. From now on, you will be colleagues. Please take care of each other."
Everyone clasped their fists in return.
The matter was settled. After Sima Guang left the platform, the people in the martial arts world and the audience also dispersed.
Ouyang Chun carefully placed the jade bee syrup in his arms, clasped his fists and saluted everyone, then rode a red date horse out of the venue.
Lu Sen left among the crowd, returned to the hut, and waited for Zhan Zhao to come find him.
Then the next day, Zhan Zhao did come, and he brought someone with him.
The Semitic courtesan Ai Jieli.
"Why bring her along?" Lu Sen was a little puzzled.
"There is no other way. She is a criminal of the emperor and must be brought back to Kaifeng Prefecture to be prosecuted." Zhan Zhao clasped his fists helplessly and said, "Please bear with me, Lu Xiaolang."
At this time, Lu Sen had already put the fences back into the system backpack, and set off as soon as Zhan Zhao arrived.
Because of the addition of Aijieli, the boat we rented this time was a little bigger.
After everyone got on the boat, they started heading north.
Because the water of the Grand Canal generally flows from north to south, the speed was faster when it came to Hangzhou. Now it is returning to Bianjing City, sailing against the current, and the speed is slower.
So it took twenty-three days to come here, and it took a full thirty-six days to return to the capital.
I felt like I was going crazy from sitting on the boat.
When they got back to the ferry crossing in Bianjing City, Lu Sen stretched and said with a smile, "I'm finally home. I'm so tired. I guess after this, I won't want to travel for another ten or eight years."
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Don't travel far for no reason. It's better to stay at home normally."
At this time, Ai Jieli suddenly said: "Songren Magician, if you know the news about the mountain garden, you must tell us, otherwise when Hassan sends people over again, you will be dragged into hell and burned by the fire of karma for eternity."
Lu Sen grinned and didn't take it seriously.
In fact, along the way, Ai Jieli kept talking to Lu Sen, but Lu Sen ignored her.
He didn't even bother to look at her.
After saying goodbye to Zhan Zhao, Lu Sen returned to Aishan.
It was evening at this time. Lu Sen opened the door of the yard. Ringo was carrying a small bucket to water the vegetable field. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw Lu Sen. She immediately threw the bucket away, hugged Lu Sen's thighs, and cried and laughed.
Then she wiped her tears and immediately went to light a fire to cook dinner for her husband.
Lu Sen went upstairs to get his clothes and was about to take a bath in the backyard when he saw Yang Jinhua, wearing a white dress, walking out of Ringo's private bathroom.
Her cheeks were extremely red. She didn't dare to look up when she saw Lu Sen. She just bowed gently and said, "Lu Xiaolang, you are finally back. I will go and help Ling Qin prepare some food to welcome you."
Although she had just come out of the bathroom, Yang Jinhua was wrapped up tightly.
In fact, when Ringo was crying and laughing just now, she heard it in the bathroom. After all, she was also a warrior, and sharp ears and eyes were basic manifestations of physical fitness.
So I dried myself and changed my clothes early.
But even so, when the beauty came out of the bath, her smooth face and wet hair gave people a wonderful feeling, as if Yang Jinhua had become two or three points more beautiful.
Lu Sen clasped his fists and said, "I have to thank Miss Yang for taking care of Ringo during this period of time ."
"It's my duty." Yang Jinhua smiled and said, "Lu Xiaolang, go wash up first. I'll ask Ringo to call you when the food is ready."
"good."
Lu Sen carried his clothes and walked into his bathroom.
But when Lu Sen soaked in the hot spring pool, he always felt something was wrong.
Now that I think about it, the conversation with Yang Jinhua just now seemed a bit weird.
