Daimyo Wei County, Bo Village Bailongtan Ferry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The summer night is quiet, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the bright moonlight is sprinkled on the ancient battlefield where Li Keyong fought with the Liang army, and the sparkling lake in the White Dragon Pond is dancing with white light, adding a unique beauty.

Qiao Daoqing, Ma Ling, and Sun An were not interested in watching the lake scenery on a moonlit night, they looked cautious and looked straight ahead. Ma Hui and Su Jinniang were more than ten steps away from them, and looking at the appearance of the two women getting along, it seemed that they had gotten a lot closer to each other in the past few days.

Ma Ling, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly stopped, because he saw Xiao Tang's figure gradually appear not far away, and saw four people following behind Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang only brought Yan Qing, Shi Xiu, Xiao Yi, and Shi Qian, Yan Qing and Shi Xiu were fine and vigilant, Xiao Yi and Ma Hui had an old relationship, and Shi Qian was good at tracking, if there was any incident, he would need to follow Qiao Daoqing and others.

"Brother Qiao Dao, Brother Sun An, that guy is here, you have to beware of what tricks he plays!" Ma Ling said to Qiao Daoqing and Sun An, but when he turned around, he saw Sun An squinting at him coldly, and said: "How to deal with that Xiao Tang is your business, I only take care of your sister-in-law, and everything else has nothing to do with me." ”

Seeing that Qiao Daoqing was also interested in the appearance of Yan Shan, Ma Ling felt suffocated, these days, even his sister Ma Hui seems to be drifting away from him, especially after he and Qiao Daoqing kidnapped Su Jinniang, Ma Hui did not speak to him all day long, but often went to visit Xiao Tang's lady who had not passed the door, thinking of this Ma Ling couldn't help but be angry.

What did I do wrong?

The more Ma Ling thought about it, the more angry he became, he raised the iron halberd, pointed at Xiao Tang and gritted his teeth and said, "The surname is Xiao, you really dare to come!" ”

"Why didn't I dare come?" Xiao Tang looked at Su Jinniang again, he saw that Su Jinniang's expression was as usual, safe and sound, and his heart was also relaxed. Su Jinniang and Xiao Tang looked at each other, and saw her shaking her head lightly and pointing at Ma Hui, but her expression did not show how to blame, as if she was just signaling to Xiao Tang: I want to hear your explanation of this matter, and you also have to give this girl an explanation.

Xiao Tang nodded at Su Jinniang, he turned his head, and said to Ma Ling: "Your Excellency came forward for your sister and asked me to settle accounts, this matter is natural." But don't you want to kidnap my wife? ”

Ma Ling said in shame: "The lamp grass ash you eat, the light fart you put on!" You are in a daze with the famous mansion Liang Zhongshu, deceiving the world but threatening my sister's innocence. If I don't use this method, how can I force you to come out and confront you?! ”

Xiao Tang shook his head and sighed: "Ma Ling, Ma Ling, you claim to regret the humiliation of your sister, but you have been hiding your head and showing your tail, and Brother Sun and Brother Qiao helped you sneak attack me, but if Xiao Yi hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known what had angered others from beginning to end." If you are really a man, how can you not dare to confront me in my house? How do you know that I, Xiao Tang, will not admit it? ”

Sun An and Qiao Daoqing glanced at each other, they took action for Ma Ling, but because of the identity of the key criminals who were arrested by the government in the sea arrest document, they were afraid that they would be rounded up by the officials and soldiers if they exposed their bottom in the Daimyo's Mansion. But hearing Xiao Tang say this, it seems that they are not frank enough, and even Qiao Daoqing couldn't help but scold secretly: "On the contrary, I was put on the table by that guy, this matter is a nest!" ”

Ma Ling's face turned blue and white when he heard this, and he scolded: "Okay! Then I'm here to ask you: Did you do that pickled thing back then!? ”

"Not bad!" Xiao Tang replied categorically: "I was frivolous and prodigal back then, although it didn't make a big mistake, but no matter what you say, it was I who almost killed my sister!" ”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Su Jinniang's eyes, but she thought about it again: If he really hurt this girl back then, if he denies it, won't I be able to get along with him anymore?

And Ma Hui listened to Xiao Tang happily admit it, but her heart was always empty, the pain in her heart had gradually calmed down in the past two years, but the appearance of her brother had hooked back the nightmare she didn't want to remember again. Even if this Xiao Tang is severely punished, how can her originally comfortable life be the same as before?

At this time, Ma Hui realized that her hatred for Xiao Tang had long since disappeared, and she just wanted to live a good life and no longer wanted to affect her life because of the pain in the past. Suddenly, Ma Hui found that Xiao Yi beside Xiao Tang was staring straight at him, Xiao Yi showed regret on his face, and said to Ma Hui: "Hui'er, even though the young master made a thousand mistakes back then, is it really going to be so difficult to end?" ”

"Shut up, you son of a minion!" Ma Ling scolded sharply, and he said to Xiao Tang again: "Since you confessed to that, what should you be guilty of!?" ”

Xiao Tang smiled calmly and said loudly: "If it is according to the law of my Great Song and Song Dynasty criminal system: those who commit adultery and defile other people's wives, miscellaneous households, and women of official households will be given 100 rods. The strong ones are each given one degree, and the injured ones are each given one degree for the crime of fighting and bruising. Do you want to condemn me like that? ”

Ma Ling sneered: "Our men on the rivers and lakes are not up to your public family!" The surname is Xiao, you don't show off with me! Kowtow to me and my sister-in-law first and confess our sins, and then let's take care of it! ”

Shi Xiu's eyebrows rose upside down when he heard this, he grabbed the handle of the knife tightly, and said with murderous intent on his face: "The surname Ma, don't catch up with people, Hugh must be strong!" If you want my eldest brother to kneel to you, you are also worthy!? ”

Ma Ling snorted and laughed in a dark voice: "I'll just say that you are hypocritical and despicable, deceiving the world and stealing your name!" Why, annoyed and angry, and refused to admit it? ”

"Wait."

At this moment, Ma Hui, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, she stared at Xiao Tang, and said word by word: "You, not him." ”

Ma Ling looked surprised and asked Ma Hui, "Sister, what do you mean by this!?" ”

Ma Hui seemed to be completely relieved in her heart, and she said leisurely: "For more than two years, Xiao Yi has been telling me that you feel guilty and secretly help me settle down in the county. Although I have always been reluctant to admit it, I have accepted your kindness. During that time, I often saw that when the people of the county mentioned you, they would not disrespect you and praise you, but only regarded you as a hero.

These days of getting along with Sister Su let me know that all kinds of rumors about you are true. I know that the wicked man back then would never go out of his way to hoe and help the weak, nor would he let the world praise him. So, you, not him. I owe the wicked man to me as if he were dead, and what do you owe to me? ”

Ma Ling was dumbfounded, and suddenly he said angrily: "No! How can this be just the case..."

"Enough!" Ma Hui interrupted Ma Ling loudly, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she said angrily: "Brother, just because you killed people in anger back then, caused your parents to avoid being arrested by the government, and suffered a lot along the way, so you died of illness in Naxiaojiaji." You feel guilty, you regret it, but you keep saying it's for me, but now you're just for yourself! I live a happy life now, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I am entangled in the old things, you tell me that if we continue to fight, what can we gain? Since this is my business, I don't want you to interfere anymore and ruin my life again! ”

Ma Ling was repeatedly accused by his own sister-in-law, he took a few steps back, and his heart suddenly ached, as if countless heavy copper hammers had smashed on his heart. When Sun An saw it on the side, he sighed and said to Qiao Daoqing: "Brother Daoqing, the main lord doesn't care about this matter now, what are you and I involved in?" ”

Qiao Daoqing spat and scolded: "Dao Ye has always acted happily and neatly, but this time he is so entangled and procrastinating, it's just that!" Brother Ma Ling, Brother Sun An and I have done our best to do our part! ”

"Stay!" Shi Xiu stopped Sun An and Qiao Daoqing, and said: "Since the account has been settled, but you hurt my Xiao Mansion and kidnapped my sister-in-law to make her frightened, let's still settle this account, right?" ”

Qiao Daoqing couldn't help sneering at Shi Xiu, he looked at Xiao Tang and said, "What, Xiao Renxia, how do you want to settle accounts with our brothers?" ”

Xiao Tang waved his hand to signal Shi Xiu to be restless, and he said to Qiao Daoqing and Sun An: "The Dragon Slayer and the Phantom Demon Lord are also famous figures in the rivers and lakes, and it is the enemies who are not suitable for knotting. ”

Sun An hugged his fists to Xiao Tang and said: "Let's not talk about the past, if you talk about open-mindedness, my brothers really underestimate Your Excellency." It's just that it's inconvenient to have a friendship with you today, and if he gets the opportunity one day, he will make friends with your good life again. ”

Qiao Daoqing laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go!" Xiao Renxia wants to find us and wait for friends, whether it is to settle accounts, I and Brother Sun An will meet in Tongqi County, Weisheng Army, Hedong Road. But today, our two brothers don't have the face to spend here anymore! After that, he and Sun An walked away, but they also went in style.

Xiao Yi looked straight at Ma Hui and asked, "Hui'er, what about you?" You're not leaving, are you? ”

Ma Hui lowered her head, and after half a sound, she said softly: "... If I stay in Zongcheng County, will you come and see me as usual? ”

Xiao Yi's heart was full of joy, he couldn't help nodding, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, willing!" How unwillingly? As long as I'm free, I'll go over and see you! ”

Ma Huiqiao's face flushed, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she looked at Xiao Yi's naïve appearance. Ma Ling saw the appearance of Xiao Yi and Ma Hui, but his face was gray and he didn't say anything.

"Brother Ma, I wonder what you plan to do in the future?" Xiao Tang suddenly said to Ma Ling.

"The surname is Xiao, my sister has forgiven you, don't think that I will look at you well!" Ma Ling's voice rose a few degrees, and he shouted angrily: "If I let me know that you have the slightest ill behavior towards my sister again, I, Ma Ling, will come to the door to look for you!" ”

Facing Ma Ling's anger and hoarse scolding, Xiao Tang's face was calm, but he smiled faintly at him. Marrington felt that he no longer had any confidence in his heart, he stomped his foot and sighed, and turned his head to leave.

"Brother..."Ma Hui saw that Ma Ling was disheartened, she couldn't bear it, and said.

"Girl, you're right... I hurt my whole family, and I can't hurt you anymore...... You can spend a good time in Zongcheng County, and I will visit you again. Ma Ling looked at Xiao Yi again and said coldly: "Treat my sister well, otherwise I will only ask you!" ”

After saying that, Ma Ling's figure flickered, and he had already run dozens of steps in a moment, unwilling to stay here for a while. When Xiao Tangwu sighed to himself, he suddenly felt that his waist was twisted fiercely, and he was so sore and painful that he almost didn't scream.

Su Jinniang, who was plain and cautious, and the dignified and gentle Su Jinniang pinched Xiao Tang, and she said with complaint in her tone: "Why didn't I know that you were that kind of person?" ”

When Yan Qing saw it, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yi and Ma Hui, and motioned for Xiao Tang and Su Jinniang to be alone for a while. Shi Xiu, who has always been decisive in killing, also thought to himself: Big brother, the brothers can do things for you, but the matter between you and your sister-in-law ...... It's better for you to ask for more blessings. After thinking about it, he was about to call Shi Qian to leave, only to find that the flea on the drum had long disappeared, and he didn't know where to flee.

Xiao Tang covered his waist and said with a wry smile: "The absurdity of the year... I thought it was all over. But that matter is indeed what I owe to Miss Ma Hui, I know that you complain about me and annoy me, and I have nothing to say. But since then, I seem to have changed my mind. Jin Niang, do you believe me? ”

"Of course I blame you, annoyed you." Su Jinniang said softly: "But I also believe you, back then, you and Second Brother Wu sacrificed their lives to protect me all the way, how can I not know what kind of person you are?" It's like what Ma Hui's sister said...... The wicked man of the past, I only thought he was dead. ”

Xiao Tang took Su Jinniang's hand and said, "Then will you marry me?" ”

Su Jinniang was annoyed and wanted to open Xiao Tang's hand, and said angrily: "Don't give you three points of color, just open a dyeing workshop!" I didn't say I forgave you! ”

"You just have to complain." Xiao Tang laughed softly: "Now that this matter is over, now I just want to marry you, even if I complain about me, I will rely on you for the rest of my life." ”
