Chapter 57

Wei Wuxian was stunned, and said, "Dead?"

Suddenly, Lan Wangji's face that was lit by fire and dripping with tears flashed across his mind, and he blurted out, "How is Lan Zhan?"

Jiang Cheng said, "What else can I do, I'll go back. My father originally said that he wanted to send someone to take him back to Suzhou, but he refused. From what he looks like, I should have long thought of such a day. After all, in such a situation, No one is better than anyone else."

The two sat down on the wooden fence again. Wei WuXian asked, "Then what happened to Lan XiChen?"

Jiang Cheng said, "Isn't the Wen family going to burn down their library? Tens of thousands of ancient books and musical scores, some of which were rescued by the Lan family, they should be handed over to Lan Xichen and let him run away with him. How much can he protect? , or it's all gone. Everyone guesses that."

Looking at the sky, Wei WuXian said, "It's disgusting."

Jiang Cheng said, "Yeah. The Wen family is so disgusting."

Wei WuXian said, "When are they going to jump like this? We can't join forces with so many families..."

At this moment, a group of chaotic footsteps came, and a group of juvenile monkeys wearing bunts dashed and jumped up the corridor, shouting: "Senior Brother!!!"

The sixth junior brother rejoiced: "Eldest brother!!! You are alive!!!"

Wei WuXian snapped, "What do you mean I'm alive? I wasn't dead!"

"Eldest brother heard that you killed a big monster over four hundred years old?! Really?! You killed it?!"

"What I want to know more than this is, Senior Brother, have you really not eaten for seven days?!"

"Isn't it true that you didn't sneak inedia behind our backs?!"

"How big is Slaughter Xuanwu? Can Lotus Lake fit in?!"

"Slaughter Xuanwu is just a bastard, right?!"

"Eldest brother, you spent the past seven days with that Lan Wangji from Gusu? He didn't kill you?!"

The atmosphere that had been slightly solemn before was immediately impacted into a mess.

Wei Wuxian's injury wasn't serious at first, but he didn't take medicine in time, and he was too tired to eat. But he was in good health. After using the medicine on the iron mark on his chest, the fever soon ceased, and after lying down for a few days, he became alive again. After the Muxishan Slaughtering Xuanwu Rebellion, the Wen family's "Enlightenment Department" in Qishan was completely disbanded. Madam Yu took the opportunity to scold Wei Wuxian and ordered him not to take half a step out of the gate of Lotus Pier, not even to row a boat on the lake. So he had to shoot kites with a group of Jiang family disciples every day.

No matter how fun a game is, it will be boring to play it every day. Therefore, after half a month, the teenagers are becoming more and more disinterested. Wei Wuxian couldn't get up, and he shot blindly, making Jiang Cheng take the first place several times for the first time ever.

Today, after the last round of shooting, Wei Wuxian put a pergola between his brows with his right hand, looked at the sunset, and said, "Come on, stop playing. Let's go home for dinner."

Jiang Cheng said, "So early today?"

Wei WuXian threw the bow, sat down on the ground, and said in despair, "It's boring, I won't shoot anymore. Which ones were last? Let's go pick them up with Sixth Junior Brother."

A teenager said: "Eldest brother, you're so cunning. Every time someone else picks it up, it's so shameless."

Wei Wuxian waved his hands and said, "I can't help it. Madam Yu won't let me go out. She is at home now, maybe Jinzhu Yinzhu is squatting in a corner to monitor, ready to tell me at any time. If I go out, Madam Yu has to use a whip to remove a layer of my skin."

The juniors with the worst records joked a few words, and went out to pick up kites, haha. Jiang Cheng stood, Wei Wuxian sat on the ground, and the two chatted for a while, Wei Wuxian said, "Uncle Jiang went out this morning, why hasn't he come back yet? Are you in time for dinner?"

Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu had another quarrel this morning. It doesn't seem right to say it was a quarrel, but Madam Yu lost her temper unilaterally, and Jiang Fengmian still maintained a little demeanor. Jiang Cheng said, "I haven't gone to Wen's house again for our swords. When I think that my three poisons might be in the hands of some Wen dog, it's really..."

With a look of disgust on his face, Wei WuXian said, "It's a pity that our swords are not strong enough. If we can seal them automatically, then no one will want to use them."

Jiang Cheng said, "If you practice for another eighty years, maybe you can."

Suddenly, several teenagers rushed into the school grounds of Lotus Pier, shouting in panic, "The big thing is bad! Senior Brother, Senior Brother, the big thing is bad!!!"

These people are the junior brothers who just went out to pick up kites, Wei WuXian stood up suddenly, "What's going on?"

Jiang Cheng said, "Where's the sixth junior brother? Why is there one person missing?"

Sure enough, the sixth junior brother was the one who ran first when they went out, but now the others are gone. A teenager was out of breath and said, "Sixth Junior Brother was taken away!"

"Caught?!"

Wei WuXian picked up the bow too, holding a weapon in his hand, and said, "Who caught it? Why did you want to catch him?!"

The boy said, "I don't know! I don't know why you want to arrest him!"

Jiang Cheng was also anxious: "What do you mean by not knowing why?"

Wei WuXian said, "Don't worry. You make it clear."

The young man said: "Just now, we went out to pick up a kite, and the kite fell over there, it's far away. We went over and saw dozens of people, from the Wen family, all wearing their clothes There are students and servants, and the head is a young woman. She has a kite in her hand, and an arrow is inserted into the kite. When she saw us, she asked who the kite belonged to."

Another teenager said: "This kite belongs to the sixth junior brother, so he said it was his. The woman suddenly changed her face and said, 'You are so brave!', which called for the people under her command to take the sixth junior brother. Captured!"

Wei WuXian said, "Is that so?"

All the teenagers nodded and said, "We asked why we wanted to arrest Junior Brother Six. The woman kept saying that he was rebellious and harboring evil intentions. She shouted and asked her subordinates to escort Junior Brother Six away. We had no choice, so we ran back first."

Jiang Cheng scolded and said, "There's no reason to arrest someone! Is the Wen family going to heaven!"

"Yeah! It's just inexplicable!"

Wei WuXian said, "Don't talk. The Wen family's people are probably coming to the door soon, don't let them hear what they're grabbing. Let me ask you, does that girl have no sword? Does she look good? It's pretty, and there's a mole on the skin of your mouth?"

The juniors said, "Yes! It's her!"

Jiang Cheng said bitterly, "Wang Lingjiao! This..."

At this time, a cold female voice came over: "What's the noise, it won't make people quiet for a day!"

Mrs. Yu came fluttering in purple clothes, Jin Zhu and Yin Zhu, still armed, followed her on the left and the right. Jiang Cheng said, "Auntie, the people from the Wen family are here, and the sixth junior brother has been arrested by them!"

Mrs. Yu said: "You shouted so loudly, I heard it inside. What's the matter? It's captured but not killed. It's anxious and hateful, stamping your feet and clenching your teeth. Do you still look like a future suzerain? ? Calm down!"

After she finished speaking, she turned to face the gate in front of the school grounds. More than a dozen cultivators of the Wen family, wearing robes of the scorching sun, filed in. Behind these monks, a woman in colorful clothes walked in gently.

This woman has a graceful figure, charming appearance, beautiful eyes, lips like fire, and a small black mole on the skin of her mouth. She is quite an outstanding beauty. It's just that the hairpins all over her body are dazzling, as if she can't wait to wear a jewelry shop and the favor of nobles on her body, which is very disappointing. It was Wang Lingjiao who was beaten by Wei Wuxian in Qishan last time and vomited blood.

Wang Lingjiao pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Mrs. Yu, I'm here again."

Mrs. Yu's face was expressionless, and she seemed to feel that her mouth would be dirty if she said a word to her. Wang Lingjiao walked down the steps of the gate, and Madam Yu said, "Why are you arresting the children of my Yunmeng Jiang Sect?"

Wang Lingjiao said, "Catch? Do you mean the one caught outside just now? This is a long story. Let's go in and sit down and talk slowly."

A house slave, without notification or asking for permission, entered the gates of other noble families, and of course asked to enter the room, "sit down and talk slowly." Mrs. Yu's face became colder and solemn, her right hand wearing a purple electric silver ring twitched twice, and the back of her white hand was slightly blue.

She said, "Go in and sit down and talk?"

Wang Lingjiao said: "Of course. I didn't have time to sit down when I came to give the order last time, please."

Hearing the word "order", Jiang Cheng snorted coldly, and Jinyin Shuangshu also showed a slight anger. But this Wang Lingjiao was the favored celebrity beside Wen Chao, so she couldn't offend her right now. Therefore, although Mrs. Yu was full of ridicule and sneer, full of yin and yang, she still said: "Well, you can go in."

Wang Lingjiao smiled sweetly and really went in.

However, she said she wanted to go in and sit, but she did not rush to sit, but took a small turn in the Lotus Pier with interest, expressing her opinions:

"This Lotus Pier is not bad. It's really big, but the house is a bit old."

"The wood is all painted black, the color is so ugly, not bright."

"Mrs. Yu, you're a poor mistress. Don't you know how to arrange it? Hang more red veils next time. That way it will look good."

She walked along the road, pointing and pointing, as if this was her back garden. Mrs. Yu's brows twitched, and both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng suspected that she would violently kill at any time.

After the guided tour, Wang Lingjiao finally sat on the hall. No one invited Qiangye, so she sat on the chief for a while, and when no one came to serve, she frowned and patted the table, "Where's the tea?"

Although her whole body is dazzling, her words and deeds have no family education etiquette at all, and she is full of ugliness. Mrs. Yu took a seat in the second seat, the hem and sleeves of her wide purple clothes were spread out, making her waist more slender and her posture beautiful. Jinyin Shuangshu stood behind her with a slight sneer at the corner of her mouth. Yinzhu said: "There is no tea. I have to drink it myself."

Wang Lingjiao's beautiful eyes widened and she said in surprise, "The servants of the Jiang family never do anything?"

Jin Zhu said: "The servants of the Jiang family have more important and serious things to do. This kind of tea and water need not be done by others. It is not a disability."

Wang Lingjiao looked at them and said, "Who are you?"

Madam Yu said, "My personal maid."

Wang Lingjiao said contemptuously, "Mrs. Yu, your Jiang family is so outrageous. This is not acceptable. Even the maid dares to interrupt in the hall. Such a servant will be slapped in the Wen family."

Wei WuXian thought, "You who say this are not a servant yourself."

Mrs. Yu said calmly, "Jinzhu and Yinzhu are not ordinary domestic servants. They have been by my side since childhood, never serving anyone other than me, and no one can hold their mouths. dare not."

Wang Lingjiao said: "What is Madam Yu saying? Of course, in a noble family, there must be a clear distinction between the superior and the inferior, so that it can't be messed up. The servant must have the appearance of a servant."

Mrs. Yu, however, was deeply convinced by the phrase "a servant should look like a servant." She glanced at Wei Wuxian and agreed, and said proudly, "Not bad."

Immediately, he asked: "What are you doing to arrest that disciple of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect?"

Wang Lingjiao said, "It's better for Mrs. Yu to draw a clear line with that kid. He was harboring evil intentions, and he was caught on the spot by me, and he was sent away."

Madam Yu raised her eyebrows and said, "Hidden evil intentions?"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "What kind of evil can Sixth Junior Brother hide?"

Wang Lingjiao said, "I have evidence. Bring it here!"

A Wen family student presented a kite, Wang Lingjiao shook the kite and said, "This is the evidence."

Wei WuXian sneered, "This kite is a very common one-eyed monster, what kind of evidence is it?"

Wang Lingjiao sneered: "Do you think I'm blind? I see clearly."

Her index fingers painted with bright red dankou gestured to and fro on the kite, and analyzed it plausibly: "What color is this kite? Gold. What shape is the one-eyed monster? It's round."

Madam Yu said, "So?"

Wang Lingjiao said, "So? Madam Yu, haven't you discovered it yet? Golden, round, what does it look like? - Sun!"

In the stunned eyes of others, she said triumphantly: "So many kinds of kites? Why does he have to make a one-eyed monster? Why does he have to be painted gold? Isn't it bad for him to make another shape? Why not another color? Do you still want to say that this is a coincidence? Of course not. This man must have done it on purpose. He shot such a kite, in fact, he was taking the opportunity to refer to 'shooting the sun'! He wanted to shoot the sun down! This is for Qishan Wen's disrespect, isn't this a hidden evil?"

Seeing her acting witty and far-fetched by herself, Jiang Cheng finally couldn't take it any longer, and said, "Although this kite is a golden circle, it is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the sun. Where is the resemblance? It doesn't look alike at all!"

Wei WuXian said, "According to you, you can't eat oranges. Isn't oranges also golden and round? But I think I've seen you eat them more than once, right?"

Wang Lingjiao gave him a fierce look. Madam Yu said coldly, "So you are here this time for this kite?"

Wang Lingjiao said, "Of course not. This time I'm here to punish a person on behalf of the Wen family and Young Master Wen."

Wei Wuxian groaned in his heart.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Wang Lingjiao pointed at him and said, "This kid, on the Muxi Mountain, while Young Master Wen and Tulu Xuanwu were fighting bravely, made rude remarks and made troubles many times, causing Young Master Wen to be exhausted and almost lost, even his own The saber is lost!"

Hearing her reverse black and white and make up her own words, Jiang Cheng laughed out of anger. Wei Wuxian thought of Jiang Fengmian who went out this morning, and said to himself, "They deliberately chose this time to come. Or they just deliberately led Uncle Jiang out!"

Wang Lingjiao said: "Fortunately! God bless Young Master Wen, even if he lost his saber, he still managed to take down the Slaughter Xuanwu without any risk. But this kid can't be tolerated! I am here today at the order of Young Master Wen, please Madam Yu severely punishes this person and sets an example for the rest of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect!"

Jiang Cheng said, "Auntie..."

Madam Yu said, "Shut up!"

Seeing Madam Yu's reaction, Wang Lingjiao was very satisfied, and said, "This Wei Ying, if I remember correctly, is Yunmeng Jiang's servant, right? Sect Master Jiang is not here, I believe Madam Yu can weigh the weight. Otherwise, if Yunmeng is not there It's really doubtful that Jiang Shi wants to cover him up... some rumors...are they true...hehe."

She sat on the first seat where Jiang Fengmian usually sat, and smiled. Madam Yu turned her eyes away with a gloomy expression. Jiang Cheng heard what she meant, and said sullenly, "What rumors?!"

Wang Lingjiao giggled and said, "What rumors are you talking about? Isn't it just some old romantic debts from Sect Master Jiang..."

Seeing that this woman dared to arrange Jiang Fengmian face to face, Wei Wuxian's heart lit up, and he said angrily, "You..." Who knows, his back suddenly hurts, and his knees involuntarily go soft. But it was Madam Yu who suddenly took action and whipped him.

Jiang Cheng lost his voice, "Auntie!"

Madam Yu stood up, purple electricity turned into a whip, and the electric light circulated between her cold jade-like hands. She shouted, "Jiang Cheng, get out of the way, or you'll kneel down too!"

Wei WuXian reluctantly got up and said, "Jiang Cheng, get out of the way! Leave it alone!"

Madam Yu flew out with another whip, knocking him back to the ground, gritted her teeth, and said, "...I said earlier, you...you unruly thing! Sooner or later, you will bring great harm to the Jiang family. trouble!"

Wei Wuxian pushed Jiang Cheng away, gritted his teeth, and remained silent. In the past, although Mrs. Yu always spoke ill of him, she never really hit him hard. At most, she ordered him to kneel and ground with two or three strokes, and Jiang Fengmian would release him soon. This time, he received dozens of whips in a row, which made his back burn hot, and his whole body was numb and painful. It was unbearable, but he had to endure it. If today's punishment is not satisfactory to Wang Lingjiao, nor to the Qishan Wen Sect's people, then this matter will never end!

Wang Lingjiao watched with a smile. After Madam Yu finished pumping, Zi Dian quickly withdrew, Wei Wuxian knelt on the ground, and his upper body swayed forward, as if he was about to fall. Jiang Cheng wanted to go up to help him, but Madam Yu snapped, "Stand away. Don't help him!"

Jiang Cheng was firmly grabbed by Jin Zhu and Yin Zhu, Wei Wuxian persisted for a while, but he still threw himself on the ground and lay still.

Wang Lingjiao said in surprise, "It's over?"

Madam Yu hummed, "No way."

Wang Lingjiao said, "That's it?"

Mrs. Yu raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by 'just like this'? What kind of spiritual weapon do you think Zidian is? He suffered such a meal, and he won't get better next month. He has to suffer!"

Wang Lingjiao said, "But then there are still good times!"

Jiang Cheng angrily said, "What else do you want?!"

Wang Lingjiao said angrily, "Mrs. Yu, since it's a punishment, then of course let him remember this lesson for the rest of his life, regret it for the rest of his life, and don't dare to do it again. If he just gets a whip, he can rest for a while, and then he can be alive again. , then what kind of punishment is it? A boy of this age is the easiest to heal the scar and forget the pain, it has no effect at all."

Madam Yu said, "How are you doing? I cut off his legs and told him to stop dancing around?"

Wang Lingjiao said, "Young Master Wen is so generous, he can't do such a brutal thing as cutting off his legs. As long as he cuts off his right hand, he will no longer care about it."

This woman, she was simply pretending to be a fox and a tiger, using Wen Chao's backing to avenge Wei Wuxian's revenge for slapping her in the Muxishan cave that day!

Madam Yu squinted at Wei Wuxian and said, "Have you chopped off his right hand?"

Wang Lingjiao said, "Not bad."

Yu Ziyuan stood up, walked around Wei Wuxian slowly, and seemed to be considering this idea. Wei Wuxian was in so much pain that he couldn't even lift his head, Jiang Cheng broke free of the gold beads and silver beads, threw himself on the ground, and put himself on Wei Wuxian's body, saying, "A-Niang, A-Niang, please don't... It's not like what she said at all..."

Wang Lingjiao said loudly, "Young Master Jiang, are you saying that I am Du Yi?"

Wei WuXian lay on the ground and couldn't even turn over, thinking, "Du Yi? What is Du Yi?" Suddenly, he thought, "It's a fabrication! This woman was originally Wen Chao's wife's maid, and she doesn't know how much she has read. A word, but you have to pretend to be literary, use a new word, pretend you don’t understand, and read white characters!” At this moment, it is clear that the situation is critical, but the more it is at this time, the more confused people’s minds are, they can’t concentrate, and they think wildly. Not only that, Wei Wuxian thought it was funny when he figured it out. Wang Lingjiao didn't realize that she had made a fool of herself, and said, "Mrs. Yu, think clearly, we Qishan Wen Sect must investigate this matter. I cut off his hand and asked me to take it back. There is an explanation, Yunmengjiang You can be fine, otherwise, it won't be so easy for Young Master Wen to ask questions next time!"

Mrs. Yu's eyes flashed with Senhan's light, and she said in a gloomy voice, "Jin Zhu, Yin Zhu, go and close the door. Don't let people see the blood."

As long as it was Madam Yu's order, the Jin and Yin Shuang Shu all obeyed, and said "Yes!" in unison, which closed the hall door firmly.

Wei Wuxian heard the sound of the door closing, and the light on the ground disappeared, and a burst of fear in his heart: "Do you really want to cut off my hand?"

Jiang Cheng was terrified, hugged his mother's leg, and said, "A-Niang? A-Niang! What are you trying to do? You must not chop off his hand!"

After the fear was over, Wei Wuxian gritted his teeth and said with a ruthless heart, "...well! If I can change the peace at home...one hand is only one hand, it's a fucking big deal, I will practice left-handed swords in the future!!!"

Wang Lingjiao clapped her hands and said, "Mrs. Yu, I knew that you must be the most loyal subordinate of the Qishan Wen Sect! Come and hold this kid down!"

Mrs. Yu said, "You don't need to do it." Jinyin Shuangshu came over, and Wang Lingjiao said, "Yeah, do you want your two maids to hold him down? That's fine."

Jiang Cheng said, "A-Niang! A-Niang, listen to me! I beg you! Don't chop off his hand! If father finds out..."

He was fine if he didn't mention Jiang Fengmian, but when he mentioned Madam Yu, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Don't mention your father to me! What can he do if he knows? Can't kill me?!"

Wang Lingjiao rejoiced: "Mrs. Yu, I really admire you! It seems that we will be able to talk very well in the Supervision Liao in the future!"

Madam Yu pulled back the leg that Jiang Cheng was holding and the hem of her purple skirt, turned around, raised her eyebrows and said, "Supervision Liao?"

Wang Lingjiao smiled and said, "Yeah, the supervision lodgings. This is the second important thing I came to Yunmeng for. My Qishan Wen sect's new supervision order has set up a surveillance lodging in every city. I now announce that, From now on, Lianhuawu will be the Wen family's monitoring house in Yunmeng."

No wonder she just went in and out of Lotus Pier, as if she regarded it as her own mansion. It turned out that she had really regarded Lotus Pier as her stronghold in Yunmeng!

Jiang Cheng said with red eyes, "What is the supervision lodging?! This is my home!!!"

Wang Lingjiao frowned and said, "Mrs. Yu, you have to teach your son well. For hundreds of years, hundreds of families have been subservient to the Wen family. How can you say something like my family and your family in front of the envoys of the Wen family? Originally, I was still hesitating. Lotus Pier is so old and there are a few rebellious people. Can I bear the heavy responsibility of the supervision office, but seeing that you obey my orders so much, and your temper is to my taste, I Still decided to give this honor..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Yu threw her hand and gave her an extremely loud slap in the face.

This slap was earth-shattering in both strength and sound. Wang Lingjiao was slapped for a few turns before she fell to the ground, her nose bleeds and her beautiful eyes widened.

Several Wen family disciples in the hall drew out their swords in unison. Madam Yu waved her hand, and Zidian flew out in a circle of dazzling purple light, and collapsed.

Mrs. Yu walked up to Wang Lingjiao gracefully and looked down at her condescendingly. She bent down suddenly, reached out to grab Wang Lingjiao's hair, and slapped her with a furious slap in the face: "Bitch dare!"

She had endured for a long time, but at this moment, her face was hideous, and she was so close, Wang Lingjiao was so scared that half of her face was swollen and she screamed. Madam Yu unceremoniously slapped her face again, stopping her piercing screaming abruptly, and shouted, "It's up to the owner to beat the dog! You rushed into my house, in front of me, and punished People in my family? What kind of thing, dare to act like this!"

After she finished speaking, she threw Wang Lingjiao's head away, as if she thought it was dirty. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands. Jin Zhu and Yin Zhu stood behind her with the same contemptuous smile on her face. Wang Lingjiao covered her face with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face, "You...you dare to do such a thing...Qishan Wen and Yingchuan Wang will not let you go!"

Madam Yu threw the handkerchief on the ground, kicked her over, and scolded: "Shut up! You cheap maid, my century-old Yu family in Meishan is in the immortal realm, and I have never heard of the Yingchuan Wang family! Which sewer is this? A lowly family that came out of nowhere? Are all the family members like you? Are you humble in front of me? I'll teach you what it means to be humble! I am honorable, and you are humble!"

On the side, Jiang Cheng had already helped half of Wei Wuxian who was lying on the ground. Seeing this scene, both of them were stunned.
