Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Shang Lu and Chang Shan looked at each other, seeing doubts in each other's eyes.

"The addiction to broken sleeves? What is the addiction to broken sleeves?" The two were stunned for a moment before Shang Lu turned to look at Uncle Qin: "I haven't heard of such a thing?"

"Huh? How could it be..." Uncle Qin was also puzzled: "But I just heard someone say that clearly. How about it, Shanglu, you have always been good at inquiring about information, so go and inquire quietly, and see. What exactly happened."

Shang Lu quickly responded, since his master's reputation was at stake, he naturally ran fast.

There were not many people in the small town, and the news came and went quickly. Shang Lu came back after inquiring about the news within a quarter of an hour after leaving the house.

"It's all the fault of the matchmaker who came here just now. She saw that all of us in the yard were men, so she said that we are all the son's pets, and she went back to the family that asked her to come to propose marriage with this nonsense. This matter spread, according to me, it's better to find the matchmaker and threaten her fiercely, and let her come forward to clarify." Shang Lu's face was full of anger, and the flames in his eyes shot straight.

"Clarify what clarification, if you let the matchmaker clarify, maybe a worse rumor will come out tomorrow. Say we want to cover up the truth and force the matchmaker to come forward to explain, what should we do when the description becomes darker?" Uncle Qin stared Shang Lu glanced at the still closed door, sighed and said, "Wait for the master to come out later, ask him how to deal with it."

During dinner in the evening, Hu Po knocked on the door and invited Mr. Liu out. Everyone looked at his expression carefully, it seemed that the sadness earlier had disappeared, and his expression was somewhat indifferent.

After serving the meal for Mr. Liu, several people stood behind Mr. Liu and waited on him. Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "You all go down to eat, you don't have to wait here."

The other three raised their eyes to look at Uncle Qin, and winked, wondering what message they were conveying.

Mr. Liu saw it, frowned, and said softly: "What are you doing?"

Uncle Qin coughed twice, and then told all the rumors he had heard in the afternoon. Mr. Liu's hand, which was holding his chopsticks and was about to reach out to pick up vegetables, paused slightly, but only for a moment, then slowly retracted, silent After waiting for a while, he said calmly: "That's good, this way can save some unnecessary troubles."

Uncle Qin had imagined that Mr. Liu would be unhappy and angry, but he never thought that he would react like this, so he hurriedly said: "Young Master, this is not acceptable. If they are all talking nonsense like this, how will you marry a wife in the future?"

"Marry a wife?" Mr. Liu seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't finish the rest of the sentence for a long time, and after a while, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid, I will never marry a wife in my life. "

As soon as these words were said, everyone was startled: "My lord, you must."

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "I'm going to eat, you guys go out first."

Seeing this situation, everyone dared not disobey, so they had to walk out dejectedly. As soon as he went out, he turned to a corner that his young master couldn't see.

"Uncle Qin, what should you do with the young master's appearance?" Several people were anxious.

Uncle Qin didn't show any strange expression on his face, he just sighed and said: "Now none of us can persuade our master, the person he misses in his heart will never get it. But let's not worry, it seems to be his fate The woman who is destined to join hands for a lifetime has not yet appeared."

"It hasn't appeared yet, but the master is in his thirties now." Hu Po's voice suddenly rose.

Uncle Qin raised his hand and tapped Hu Po's head: "Be quiet."

Amber hurriedly glanced at the door, pursed her mouth, "According to me, it's better to be straightforward, go to Jincheng and tie that guy here, won't that be it?"

This time, even Shang Lu and Chang Shan raised their hands together and tapped Hu Po's head: "You can figure it out, do you know who that master is? That's..."

Shang Lu fell silent, raised his hand, and pointed to the sky: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful of getting beaten."

Uncle Qin also glared at Amber: "If kidnapping that person can solve the master's problem, I will definitely try my best to tie him up, but it's not like you don't know our master's temperament."

Hearing this, everyone sighed in unison.

In the middle of the night, it began to snow. Nanxun Town was colder than Jincheng, and the snow fell more heavily. Mr. Liu got up early, and Chang Shan hurriedly put on the thick cloak that he made a few days ago for Mr. Liu, and said softly, "Young master only has morning class today, so you can come back earlier. There is no heater in the private school, so I'm afraid it will It's very cold. The little one pretended to be a soup lady for the young master, and the young master can carry it later."

Mr. Liu smiled: "How can there be a gentleman who still hugs Mrs. Tang in class? Those students who are seven or eight years old have never complained about being cold. I am not cold."

Chang Shan curled his lips and said, "They are all used to this kind of climate. Young Master, it's much colder than Jincheng when he first came here, so he can't get used to it. If Young Master doesn't want to bring Mrs. Tang, he should wear an extra coat. "

Mr. Liu glanced at Chang Shan, Fang nodded and said, "Forget it, let's take Mrs. Tang with me."

After breakfast, Mr. Liu left by the back door alone, and went to the private school opposite. Tang Pozi in his hand, after entering the private school and seeing a student practicing calligraphy on the snow with a tree branch, he gave it to that student.

When I went back to the yard at noon, I was inevitably talked about for a while.

Mr. Liu didn't take it seriously, he just smiled and said: "The day after tomorrow will be the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and the private school will be closed for two days, and the Chinese New Year will be coming soon. After a while, there will be fewer students in the private school."

Uncle Qin smiled and said: "The young master can rest for a few days, it's rare to have free time, let's have a good New Year, and I will go to the town to visit later and buy some new year's goods when I come back."

Mr. Liu nodded and said with a smile: "Your arrangements are fine, and I will write the blessing characters and couplets."

Several people laughed and then went to work.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Mr. Liu is also a little bit cold, and his voice is also hoarse. Fortunately, because of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the private school is on vacation, so there is no need to go there. So he just asked Uncle Qin to grab some medicine, drank the medicine and lay down on the soft couch with a thick quilt to read a book.

When Shang Lu came in, he saw Hu Po was waiting for Mr. Liu to drink the medicine, so he stood aside and waited.

After drinking the medicine, Hu Po snorted at Shang Lu: "Young Master is still sick, don't bother Young Master with petty things."

Mr. Liu laughed, and said to Shanglu, "What's wrong?" His voice was still a little hoarse.

Shang Lu saluted and reported in a low voice: "In the past two days, there have been more horses quietly passing by at night, almost every night, and the number varies."

Mr. Liu was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then sighed softly: "When it snows, there will be fewer people going into the mountains. You don't have to worry about being discovered, so they become more frequent. I'm afraid the war is approaching."

Everyone didn't know how to answer, Mr. Liu raised his eyes to look at Uncle Qin and Shang Lu: "Is Emperor Ningguo still in Jincheng?"

Uncle Qin nodded: "The last time the news came from Jincheng, he was there. I heard that he had to wait for the Queen's Sealing Ceremony before leaving for Ningguo."

Mr. Liu nodded lightly, pondered for a long time, and then said softly: "If Emperor Ningguo left Jincheng after the enthronement ceremony, it should be a year after returning to Ningguo. If His Majesty wants to start a war against Cangjue Qingsu, he will probably unite with Ningguo At the same time, there is more confidence in this. Your Majesty, the army should be raised around February, and there is still time now."

When Uncle Qin heard this, he hurriedly said, "My lord, do you want to make a move?"

Mr. Liu closed the book in his hands, and said softly: "When I recover from illness and the private school is over, I will go for a walk around."

It wasn't a day or two for the crowd to follow him. Hearing this, they knew that he wanted to see the surrounding terrain, so they quickly responded.

The illness came and went quickly, and within a few days, he recovered, but the illness was cured, and the private school was closed. After snowing for a few days, the sun came out again. Seeing that the weather was fine and Liu Yinfeng was fine, he took Uncle Qin and Shang Lu out, planning to take a walk around.

Because of the proximity to the border, there are often soldiers patrolling around Nanxun Town. Uncle Qin had already scouted out the area where the soldiers were patrolling, so he led Mr. Liu around and into the mountain.

The snow on the mountain has not yet melted, and it is extremely difficult to walk. Moreover, Mr. Liu had just recovered from his illness. After walking for half a day, he felt exhausted and leaned against a tree to rest.

However, Uncle Qin suddenly noticed something unusual around him, so he hurriedly protected Mr. Liu behind him, and said softly, "My lord, there are footprints."

Mr. Liu was startled, and when he pushed aside the grass beside him, he also saw footprints, which were especially obvious in the snow.

"If you can see the shoe prints, someone should have been here." Mr. Liu said calmly, raised his eyes and told Uncle Qin and Shang Lu: "You two look around, but someone else has entered the mountain, so don't go too far. I'm a little tired, let's take a rest here."

Uncle Qin and Shang Lu looked at each other. They still had confidence in their martial arts, and they often did this when they were exploring the terrain with their young master before. They nodded and walked in opposite directions. .

After walking out for a few steps, they heard a strange noise, the two of them groaned inwardly, and ran back in a hurry, but the situation in front of them made their hearts suspend immediately.

A machete with a strange shape was placed across Mr. Liu's neck, and a woman in green clothes stood behind her, carrying a basket behind her, with some unknown grass in it.

"What are you doing? Let our son go." Uncle Qin observed the surrounding situation secretly, thinking how to snatch his son back from the woman safely.

"What am I doing? I also want to ask who you are and what do you want to do? It's so cold, I ran into this uninhabited mountain, sneaking around, asking who are you?" She curled her lips and shouted sharply, but because her voice sounded a little babyish, it didn't seem to be threatening.
