Chapter 357 Death 1 Death
Xingyi glanced at Chu Chenfeng, then looked at Li Mulan cautiously, "Princess, that... I see that Xiaoqi and the others' boxing skills don't seem to be the same as the common boxing we usually see. That is..."
Li Mulan raised the corners of her lips. Of course, she combined fighting and judo with other skills, so it was naturally different from theirs.
"I created this myself. Isn't it awesome?"
Xing Yi was very excited. "Great, great. Hehehe, well...Princess, can we learn from your training plan?"
We are all family from now on. If they use such a good training plan, it will be great. In fact, Xingyi had been impressed by Li Mulan's skills a long time ago. Chu Chenfeng knew about it before, but his master seemed to have forgotten about it later, so he didn't mention it. But this time, looking at the group of people under Li Mulan, he couldn't help but be jealous.
Li Mulan raised her eyebrows. "You have a good eye, but it's not that great. I'll let Dongzi help you and teach you my tricks."
Xingyi didn't expect Li Mulan to be so generous. She didn't even make any excuses and agreed so readily.
"Thank you, Princess. You are so righteous."
Chu Chenfeng was beside them the whole time without saying a word. He only left with Li Mulan after they had discussed everything. The look he gave Xingyi before leaving made Xingyi shudder. The prince...
Li Xiaoqi and his companions hadn't had enough fun, so they stayed behind. After some competition, they were able to play together with Xingyi's men.
The next day, another major event happened in Kyoto.
The crimes of the Minister of Rites, such as buying and selling official positions, accepting bribes, and leaking examination questions, were discovered, and all the evidence was presented to the emperor one by one.
The emperor was furious and immediately ordered a search of the Minister of Rites' residence, where a large amount of stolen money was seized. He sentenced the entire family of the Minister of Rites to exile.
Zhang Zheng's first wife, Guo, wanted to divorce Zhang Zheng and leave Kyoto with their daughter. But Zhang Zheng was not a good person and refused to sign the divorce agreement, insisting that they should die together.
He thought the prime minister would come to his rescue no matter what, but he didn't expect that he would not even say a word to help him.
He set his sights on Zhang Ruomei, but he couldn't even enter the Taifu Mansion. Finally, he was caught by the officials and sent to exile.
It took only one day from the incident to the exile of the Zhang family. At this moment, Zhang Zheng and his family had been escorted out of Kyoto.
It is said that not even one person came to see him off.
Zhang Zheng and Guo were either arguing or fighting the whole time, and only became more obedient after being scolded by the police.
Zhang and Zhang Kun, brother and sister, watched the Zhang family leave from a distance, and no one showed up.
Zhang was quite emotional. It was really a changing world. Thinking back to the past, she was also exiled from Beijing with the Li family. At that time, she waited a long time, but what she got was a letter from her father breaking off the relationship. She almost fainted at that time. And now...
"Sister, let's go back."
Zhang looked at her brother who had now grown up and become steady, and sighed, "Let's go and burn incense for Auntie. We haven't visited her for a long time."
Zhang Kun was more relaxed than ever before, finally getting rid of this family, "Okay."
Another day passed.
Today, the Taifu Mansion is very busy. Tomorrow is Li Mulan's wedding day. The mansion is decorated with lanterns and is extremely festive.
Li Mulan, however, could not be happy, not for any other reason but because her elusive master had not arrived yet.
Today, several senior brothers came over, and they all looked very anxious seeing her look like this.
"Big Brother, didn't Master give you a letter?" Dongfang Haotian couldn't hold it in any longer. He would leave after Xiaojiu's wedding, and he wanted to take this opportunity to meet Master.
Liu Sheng looked at Li Mulan with a depressed look on his face. "The last letter was two months ago. The last person to receive news from Master should be Lao Wu, right?"
Situ Tianming was calm and composed. He was not worried at all. "Master didn't say much. He just said he was going to prepare a wedding gift for Xiaojiu. He didn't tell me anything else. However, with Master's personality, he definitely won't show up until the last minute. But he will definitely come, so Xiaojiu, don't worry about it."
"That's true. Master never breaks his promise." Lin Yunfan also echoed.
Li Mulan was very listless, without any energy at all. She leaned on Qingyu's body like a boneless person, without saying a word.
This time, Liu Sheng didn't say that she was unruly, his eyes were full of pity.
"Xiao Jiu, don't worry, Master will definitely make it here, don't worry."
Li Youwei scratched his head and said, "Master, you are not young anymore, why is he still so willful?"
Shangguan Jing glanced at him and said, "Seventh Junior Brother is really brave. Now he even dares to make up stories about Master."
Li Youwei snorted twice, "That's right. He arranged a marriage for Xiaojiu without telling us. It's settled now, and there's nothing we can do about it. He's so good. Xiaojiu is getting married tomorrow, but he didn't even show up. Fourth Brother, do you think he's being willful?"
Situ Tianming threw a melon seed shell at him, "You are so bold, be careful that the master will punish you if he finds out. You are old, and if you are punished, where will you put your face?"
"I'm just saying it here, how would Master know?" Li Youwei glared, "Don't go and tell on me. If Master knew, it must be you who told the truth. I...I will never let you go."
"Tsk, I don't have time for that." He stood up and moved. There was an old tree in Li Mulan's yard. He appeared on the tree in a flash and found a suitable place to lie down.
Liu Sheng rolled his eyes helplessly, but he was used to his unruly behavior and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Moreover, recently, his major life event had been settled, he had a wife, and Liu Sheng rarely bothered him.
"Second brother, what do you think?"
Xuanming hadn't said a word since he came in. He was drinking his tea the whole time. He only reacted when he heard Liu Sheng calling him.
"What do you mean by how you look at it? The master has his own arrangements, why are you worrying about it? The master will definitely come to Xiaojiu's wedding." Then he looked at Li Mulan, frowning slightly, "Sit down, you are a girl after all, how can you be like this? Tomorrow is your wedding, but you don't prepare properly, but you have time to think about it here. I think you are too idle."
Li Mulan curled her lips and sat up straighter. "This old fox is so unreliable. Does he have to be the last one to arrive? Humph, to put it bluntly, he just doesn't care. It doesn't matter."
Dongfang Haotian felt distressed. This was the first time they had met in many years, and he doted on this little sister. "Xiaojiu, don't be angry. Master may be a little slower, but he will definitely get there. Don't let it affect your mood. Just be a happy bride, okay?"
