Chapter 71: The rivalry between the two beauties
The son of the commander was killed at home, which immediately caused an uproar. The next day, Zhou Boxiong, who was crazy, used all his strength to search for Yong Hong and Wu Li. He sent his own soldiers to various intersections and passes to conduct strict checks, and all men and women who behaved suspiciously were detained.
.
Fu Jingtao and his party left the border town early and hurried to Xiantao. On the way, they were intercepted and interrogated by two waves of sergeants, but Luo Ming used some tricks to get through easily. Shortly after noon, Xiantao Town was in sight.
Xiantao Town is backed by mountains and faces the Bailong River. It guards the main water and land transportation routes. There are three to four thousand people living in the town. It is considered a populous town in the northwest frontier.
In order to prevent the intrusion of horse thieves and bandits, a stone wall more than ten feet high was built outside the town. Along the inside of the wall, there was a three-foot-high arrow tower every hundred steps among the trees. There were only entrances and exits on the north and south sides. At night, the walls must be closed and locked.
.
Fu Jingtao felt timid about being near his hometown. He remembered that he had not been back for more than half a year, and he had two black eyes, and he would inevitably be scolded and nagged by his parents. He had a headache and felt a little warm.
Luo Ming reminded: "Don't forget when you meet your parents. I am Xiao Wushuang, a direct disciple of the Ruyi Sect in southern Sichuan. I am good at medical skills. You accidentally ate a poisonous fruit in the mountains and forests, but I saved your life, and we have been married ever since.
Best friend."
Fu Jingtao frowned and said, "Then how should I explain why you followed me to my house?"
Luo Ming said: "What's so difficult about this? The remaining poison in your body has not been cleared, and you need to continue to receive medical treatment. If your parents ask more details, I will prevaricate them."
Fu Jingtao scratched his head and said, "It's inappropriate for us to work together to deceive my parents, isn't it?"
Luo Ming smiled and said: "If you tell the truth, I am the soul-catching witch and he is the blood-weeping demon gun, what will your parents think? Will they allow you to associate with a big devil like us?"
Fu Jingtao rolled his eyes. If his parents knew the truth, it would be strange if they didn't break both of his legs!
Yan Ying did not trust Luo Ming, especially after learning that she had a relationship with Xiao Chilang. He was even more wary, so he did not let Zhou Zongliang show up along the way and always hid him in the carriage.
After entering the town, Yanying asked Fu Jingtao to rent a private house for him first, and decided to wait until Luo Ming left Xiantao before visiting the Fu family. Fu Jingtao also knew that Zhou Zongliang's identity was extremely sensitive, so he did not force it.
After agreeing on contact information, he apologized and left.
Fu's store is located at the end of the long street. It specializes in fabrics and satins. It has a spacious facade and a colorful "Caiyunfang" flag outside. As the Spring Festival is approaching, people with a little money come to buy fabrics to make new clothes. At first glance, there are many customers.
There is a constant flow of people coming in and out.
Luo Ming smiled and said: "Boss Fu, it looks like your business is booming. I happen to be short of new clothes for the New Year, how about you give me a few?"
Fu Jingtao said flatly: "Only for sale but not for giving away!" What a joke, this witch has just made a fortune and can buy dozens of silk shops. It is absolutely impossible to take advantage of the Fu family.
The corner of Luo Ming's mouth curled up: "Stingy!"
Fu Jingtao pretended that he couldn't hear it, jumped off his horse and shouted into the store: "Fu Ling'er, I'm back!"
"Brother?!" With a cheer mixed with surprise, a girl in white with braided hair jumped out. She had a pure appearance, was delicate and lovely, and her big eyes were particularly bright. She jumped to Fu Jingtao without even thinking about it.
She put her arms around his neck and said with laughter and tears: "Brother, I heard that you disappeared without any reason and your life or death is uncertain. I was almost worried to death! It's great that you can come home! I miss you so much!"
Fu Jingtao patted his sister's arm lovingly and said with a smile: "Are you trying to strangle your brother to death by hugging him so tightly?
Fu Ling'er pouted her pink lips, shook her head and said, "I won't let go! It's okay if you don't come back when I celebrate my birthday, but where is the gift? It's almost the New Year now! How do you think you should compensate me?"
Fu Jingtao was sweating profusely on his forehead. He was so absorbed in practicing martial arts a while ago that he actually forgot that it was his aunt's birthday. He apologized and said with a smile: "Good Ling'er, good Ling'er, all my mistakes are my brother's fault. I definitely admit it."
Accept the punishment! Let’s go buy gifts tomorrow, okay? Just ask for whatever you want!”
Fu Ling'er's eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "A man's words are hard to follow!"
While the two brothers and sisters were playing around, they suddenly heard a voice as crisp as a silver bell: "Jingtao, is this your sister? She is really a lotus, and she is naturally beautiful!"
Fu Jingtao made everyone shiver. He turned around and saw Luo Ming standing beside her with her veil removed. Her eyes were soft and dignified, and her appearance was so beautiful that it goes without saying. The door of the originally noisy cloth shop quickly fell silent, and everyone stared blankly at the scene.
The bright moon shines like a witch, and some people forget to look at the road under their feet. Oops! They hit the ground and rolled into a gourd.
Fu Ling'er felt ashamed and hurriedly let go and stood still, biting her lower lip and said: "Compared to my sister, Ling'er is just an ugly girl."
Luo Ming smiled and said, "Who said that? My sister's eyes are not as beautiful as yours." A string of top-quality pearl necklaces from the East China Sea appeared in his hand like a magic trick. The pearls were as round as the size of a finger, and they were hung on Fu Ling'er's neck without any notice.
His eyes rolled, and he praised: "Pearls set against Ling'er, they complement each other perfectly! Jingtao, do you think Ling'er is beautiful?"
Fu Jingtao was frightened by her mouthful of "Jingtao", and laughed dryly: "Beautiful, of course beautiful! She is as beautiful as the mythical fairy Chang'e!"
Fu Ling'er's cheeks were slightly red, she caressed the pearl necklace, and whispered: "Sister, is this pearl necklace very expensive? I, I can't..."
Luo Ming stroked her hair gently and smiled slightly: "You are Jingtao's sister, that is, my sister. I will make up for the gifts he owes you. Our family does not speak the same language. If you
If you treat me politely, my sister will be sad."
Fu Ling'er opened her mouth wide and looked at the gentle and graceful Luo Ming in astonishment, then looked at Fu Jingtao, pointed at the two of them in surprise, suddenly jumped more than three feet high, and screamed: "Sister Qin, sister Qin,
Come out quickly! Oh no, something big has happened!"
Fu Jingtao was confused: "Sister Qin?"
Suddenly, a pretty figure flashed, and a tall and beautiful girl walked out from behind the door. It was Qin Ying, whom she had not seen for many days. She was wearing a white outfit, with a black soft whip wrapped around her waist, and her legs looked particularly straight and slender.
, a pair of beautiful eyes fixedly looked at Fu Jingtao, a little shy in joy, and smiled: "Senior Brother Fu!"
Fu Jingtao said in surprise: "Junior Sister Qin, why are you here?"
A faint blush appeared on Qin Ying's frosty and pretty face, as if white jade stained with clouds, stunningly beautiful. She whispered: "You disappeared without any reason at Liu's house a few days ago. Your life or death is uncertain. We searched Jiezhou City but found no trace. Fei
My uncle was afraid that your parents would be anxious, so he wrote a special letter to explain the reason, and asked me to bring it to Xiantao Town to deliver it in person. Not long after I sat down, I was talking to my aunt. Unexpectedly, senior brother, you returned home safely. It’s really
Buddha bless you, and good people will have their destiny."
Fu Jingtao was suddenly enlightened and hurriedly clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Thank you, junior sister, for making that extra trip!"
Fu Ling'er ran to Qin Ying, tugged on her sleeves, and lowered her voice: "Sister Qin, my brother also brought back a beautiful woman!"
Qin Ying's heart moved slightly, and she turned to look at Luo Ming, who was calm and calm, with an unparalleled appearance, and her eyes immediately burst out with a different kind of brilliance. Luo Ming also looked at it with a smile, and she actually showed a graceful and dignified look of a big woman. The two beauties were thinking about it.
Looking at each other, one is cold and pure like a fairy, and the other is mature and graceful like the Goddess of Luo. Their eyes are invisible in the air, refusing to give in to each other.
Fu Jingtao felt cold inexplicably, as if the temperature around him suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Qin Ying smiled lightly and said, "Senior brother, who is this eldest sister?" She emphasized the word "eldest sister" for fear that others would not understand the meaning.
Fu Jingtao said: "She is..."
Luo Ming smiled and interjected: "Jingtao, is this little girl your fellow junior sister? When she grows up in a few years, she will definitely be a beauty who will conquer the country." He spoke with subtlety, not to be outdone.
Fu Jingtao's mouth turned bitter, "Auntie, can you please stop being so affectionate? Our relationship is not that good!" He sighed: "Miss Xiao, she..."
Qin Ying frowned and said, "Miss Xiao, are you familiar with my senior brother? How long have you known each other?"
The corners of Luo Ming's mouth curled up, and he calmly said: "I saved his life, do you think we are familiar with each other?"
Qin Ying said: "The grace of saving life and the acquaintance of nodding are common in the world."
Fu Jingtao finally saw the clues. These two were at odds with each other. They were like peerless masters dueling in the ring. How could he have any room to interrupt? He caught a glimpse of his sister's face that was half-smiling but not smiling. It was like a glow on her back, and her whole body was full of pain.
comfortable.
Just at this moment, a slightly wealthy middle-aged man walked out of the store. He was tall, handsome, rosy-cheeked, with a thick short beard on his chin, and his movements were very charming. Fu Jingtao felt like he had found a life-saving straw.
Almost crying with joy, he rushed over and shouted: "Dad!"
Fu Jingtao's father, Fu Song, looked at his son who was tall, strong and reborn. He was filled with joy. He punched his chest lightly and cursed with a smile: "Did you get into trouble again? How come you have to work so hard for Miss Qin to deliver letters to your door?"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Luo Ming, who was slim and graceful with low eyebrows. She was surprised and suspicious, and asked: "Who is this girl?"
Fu Jingtao said bravely: "She is Xiao Wushuang, a disciple of Ruyi Sect in southern Sichuan. She is a friend I just made."
Luo Ming rolled up his sleeves and bowed, bowed according to the rules and said: "Uncle Fu, please accept my bow. Wushuang came uninvited. It's the first time he has arrived at your noble house. I still hope to see my uncle. Don't be upset, auntie."
Fu Song glanced at his son meaningfully and said with a smile: "Miss Wushuang, don't be polite. Since you are Jingtao's friend, my Fu family welcomes you to visit us at any time. Come on, come in quickly! Ling'er, take you Qin."
Sister, Sister Wushuang, go into the inner hall to drink tea and meet your mother."
Fu Ling'er said happily: "Okay! Two sisters are invited."
Fu Song was waiting for Qin Ying, and Luo Ming walked into the inner hall, grabbed Fu Jingtao's ears, gritted his teeth and said: "You bastard, you are so wild-minded, you actually ate from the bowl and looked at the pot, and you seduced two people."
A beautiful woman is coming home! Did you study martial arts in Xuanyuanmen to strengthen your body, or did you go to be romantic and happy?"
Fu Jingtao cried out in pain: "Dad, please be gentle! I swear, I will never do anything random!"
Fu Song let go of his hand and kicked his butt: "Stop talking nonsense, get out and explain it to your mother!" Seeing his son rushing towards the inner hall anxiously, he raised his hand and stroked the short beard on his chin, murmuring: "Smelly
