Chapter 22: Coming to collect debts, the two heroes of the dust

Just at this moment.

"Young Master... Young Master..."

Suddenly, a shout came from outside...

Then a servant ran in stumbling...

Panting, he said: "Outside... outside a woman broke in..."

"I really couldn't stop her..."

Before Su Liang could speak, Li Er, who was already unhappy, shouted angrily: "Simply lawless... lawless!"

"I want to see who it is, daring to break into the Prince of Chu's residence."

"The Empress and I are still here!"

A moment later.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old entered the courtyard angrily.

Only to see the person wearing a flower-sprinkled smoke gauze shirt, a waist tied with a smoke-covered plum blossom water skirt, a green-mist cloud-patterned cape on her shoulders, wind-like hair and misty temples, a Lingyun hairpin in her hair, skin like congealed fat, face like a peach blossom, without a trace of powder. Suddenly a breeze blew, giving people a feeling of being like an immortal.

What was surprising was that such a woman who looked like an immortal was holding a three-foot green sword at this moment...

When Li Er saw this, he was suddenly discouraged.

Can't afford to offend... can't afford to offend...

It's not that the woman who came can't be offended, it's that the woman behind her can't be offended.

So far, the woman who still dared to hold a sword to his neck was his own sworn sister, the adopted daughter of the Retired Emperor Li Yuan, the Red-Sleeve Woman!

The Red-Sleeve Woman, one of the "Three Heroes of the Dust," originally named Zhang Chuchen.

The daughter of the Chen Dynasty general Zhang Zhongsu, her mother was the daughter of the Wuxing Shen clan, a prominent family of the Eastern Wu in the Jiangnan noble families.

In the ninth year of Kaihuang, Yang Guang attacked Chen.

Her father Zhang Zhongsu was killed by the Sui general Shi Wansui, and her mother, Lady Shen, was rewarded to the Grand Marshal Yang Su by Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian.

The Red-Sleeve Woman also entered the Yang residence with her mother who was still breastfeeding.

In the second year of Daye, Yang Su was appointed Grand Minister.

At that time, Li Jing, who was thirty-six years old, first arrived in Changan to pay a visit to Yang Su, and when he talked about the world with Yang Su, Yang Su looked down on Li Jing, whose family had fallen.

The eighteen-year-old Red-Sleeve Woman had a unique vision, seeing Li Jing's great talent and strategy, and he was also a handsome young man with a majestic appearance.

The Red-Sleeve Woman, a generation of beauties who was already beautiful enough to topple a country, secretly admired him in her heart, asked someone in the residence to inquire about Li Jing's residence, and followed him overnight.

After the Red-Sleeve Woman and Li Jing eloped, they soon met the local tycoon, the Bearded Guest.

The Bearded Guest, the son of the richest man in Yangzhou, Zhang Jiling, although vulgar in appearance, had his heart set on the world.

The Red-Sleeve Woman sensed his extraordinary nature, immediately swore to be brothers and sisters with the Bearded Guest, and also introduced her husband Li Jing to the Bearded Guest.

From then on, the two became three, and the legendary story of the "Three Heroes of the Dust" began.

A few breaths later.

The woman arrived in front of Su Liang.

This woman was Li Jing and the Red-Sleeve Woman's daughter, Li Qing.

Everyone was also puzzled, not knowing when Su Liang had provoked this little master.

Only to see Li Qing draw the three-foot green sword in her hand and point it at Su Liang.

Then she said angrily: "Su Ziyu, you Yin thief!"

Su Liang was extremely depressed at this moment, she had come to the door...

Seeing this, Su Liang said:

"Why, why, why... let's talk..."

"It's just sleeping with you for one night, is it worth drawing a sword?"

Suddenly, the scene was eerily silent, and everyone couldn't believe that these words came from Su Liang's mouth...

At this moment, Su Liang also realized he had made a slip of the tongue.

Before Su Liang could speak.

Li Er suddenly said: "Good son-in-law, this is your fault."

"Some things, since you have already done them, you must take responsibility..."

Everyone also hurriedly echoed...

Su Liang hurriedly explained to everyone: "It's not what you think, I just held Xian'er and slept for one night, held..."

Su Liang was also drunk at this moment, and had exposed himself again.

Xian'er was the name Su Liang had given her.

From the moment Su Liang gave her the name, Li Qing had always considered herself Li Xian'er.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing was overjoyed, and then said with a blushing face: "Then... then you also touched..."

Su Liang explained immediately: "That was because I was drunk at the time..."

"Besides, aren't you a child of the rivers and lakes, why are you so stingy."

"And you were the one who made the first move at the time..."

Su Liang was indeed drunk that night...

Seeing Li Qing not speaking, Su Liang continued: "And when did I become a Yin thief."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing threw the sword on the ground, squatted down, and then said with a face full of grievance: "I don't care, you said you would take responsibility for me."

"But now you are marrying other women first, you are a Yin thief." At this moment.

Empress Zhangsun also understood, this... this was clearly coming to force a marriage.

It was not coming to find fault at all...

Su Liang was speechless about this; what should come would come.

No matter how he hid, he couldn't hide.

Over a year ago.

Su Liang and Xue Rengui went to the "Great Tang's second little brother," the Sushen, to find the Daqing Oilfield.

After exploring, they went south to Goguryeo, and went to the Liaodong Peninsula to fish and catch shrimp.

Not long after, they met Li Qing, and Su Liang saw at a glance that Li Qing was disguised as a man.

When Su Liang saw Li Qing in women's clothing, he was also dumbfounded; skin like congealed fat, face like a peach blossom, without a trace of powder, like a woman who looked like an immortal.

Later, he called Li Qing Little Fengxian, and after they became familiar, he called her Xian'er.

From then on, the two became three, and Su Liang also joked: Do we look like the Three Heroes of the Dust.

Unexpectedly, a joke became true, and then he met the famous Bearded Guest.

At this moment, everyone had come back to their senses and already knew the intention of Li Qing's visit.

Li Er said immediately: "I will make the decision for you on this matter!"

At the same time.

Changan City, inside Li Jing's residence.

In the back hall of the residence, the Red-Sleeve Woman and the Bearded Guest were drinking tea.

The Red-Sleeve Woman said: "Why did the guest brother return to Changan City this year?"

The Bearded Guest wiped his beard and said: "It's all for Xian'er."

"Xian'er? Who is Xian'er."

The Red-Sleeve Woman asked with a face full of confusion; this name sounded like a woman's name, could it be that the guest brother wanted to remarry?

The Bearded Guest said immediately: "It's our daughter Qing'er, Xian'er is Qing'er!"

The Red-Sleeve Woman continued to ask: "When did Qing'er become Xian'er?"

"It's all that Su Ziyu kid."

The Bearded Guest said bluntly.

The Red-Sleeve Woman then asked: "Could it be that Prince of Chu, Su Liang?"

The Bearded Guest said in a firm tone: "It's that kid, who made our father and daughter search so hard."

"We also found out in Taoyuan County that Su Liang used his courtesy name when he was in the world."

"It wasn't until he cured the Empress that he was known to the world."

"Now Xian'er has gone to find that Su Liang kid."

The Red-Sleeve Woman understood at this moment, and then asked in confusion: "Why did you two search so hard, could it be that Su Liang doesn't like our Qing'er?"

The Bearded Guest was also unusually angry about this, and said immediately: "That kid actually eloped, and said he couldn't get married before he was twenty."

"But he turned around and married that Li Er's daughter, and was taking concubines everywhere."

The Red-Sleeve Woman asked: "Could it be that the guest brother even forced a marriage? Even forced a marriage?"

The Bearded Guest was helpless about this: "It's not, that kid couldn't be beaten, so I could only use medicine to force a marriage."

"As a result, he still escaped!"

At this moment, the Red-Sleeve Woman was also very speechless; Su Liang had actually forced the Bearded Guest to use such a strategy.

Her brother's martial arts were even better than Yuwen Chengdu's back then.

But he couldn't do anything about Su Liang.

Before the Red-Sleeve Woman could speak, the Bearded Guest continued: "That kid's movement technique is very strange, and I didn't dare to use weapons, so I let him escape."

"That's why I rushed to Changan, to discuss it with you, sister."

A quarter of an hour later, the Red-Sleeve Woman and the Bearded Guest went to Taoyuan Villa together...

At this moment, it was noon.

Inside the Taoyuan Villa.

Everyone was already eating lunch around the dining table.

A heavy snow had fallen last night, and everyone was eating hot pot and drinking Son of Heaven Xiao.

Li Qing suddenly said: "I want to eat mantis shrimp, and also big lobster."

Erhu was stunned upon hearing this; how did this young mistress know that there were mantis shrimp and big lobsters in the residence? Those were caught by the Young Master at a great cost from Dengzhou.

Not only were there mantis shrimp and big lobsters, but also swimming crabs, yellow croaker, hairtail, etc.

They were also sent two days ago, and were kept for the New Year, and the quantity was limited.

The rest of the people were confused; most of them had eaten crayfish.

What kind of thing was a big lobster, and what kind of ghost was a mantis shrimp.

They all cast their eyes on Su Liang.

Su Liang looked at Li Qing and asked: "How did you know I have them here?"

Li Qing saw Su Liang admit it, and then said: "Didn't you call me a little foodie, then you are a big foodie, how could you not have such delicious food!"

Seeing this, everyone stared at Su Liang, all wanting to see what kind of delicacy it was that could make Li Qing beg for food in public.

Su Liang was quite speechless about this, and stood up immediately, preparing to do it himself.

Li Qing also followed him.

In less than half an hour, Su Liang had finished making it and had someone bring it up.

Everyone then saw the big lobster Li Qing spoke of, and were dumbfounded; this... this was ten times the size of a crayfish, a full jin or more!

Not only that, but there were also swimming crabs bigger than hairy crabs, a full half-jin or more!

Everyone started eating and drinking immediately...

Just at this moment.

The Red-Sleeve Woman and the Bearded Guest also arrived in a hurry.

The servants in the villa saw that it was Li Jing's wife, the Young Master's mother-in-law, so they didn't stop them.

When the two entered the dining hall, they found that their daughter was holding a big lobster, enjoying it to the fullest, without any image at all.

Both of them were speechless, it seemed that this matter had already been resolved.

After the two bowed slightly...

The Red-Sleeve Woman looked at Su Liang and said: "Why, don't you invite your parents-in-law to sit down?"

Lady Hongfu immediately looked at Su Liang and said, "What is it? Won't you invite your parents-in-law to sit for a while?"

The Red-Sleeve Woman said immediately: "Is the Emperor teaching people a lesson? Is what I said wrong?"

"Isn't Qing'er also the guest brother's daughter? Although she is only an adopted daughter, she was raised by the guest brother since she was a child, and it's no different from a biological one."

Su Liang also saw the strange woman, the last of the "Three Heroes of the Dust," at this moment; her skin was like snow, her face like a peach blossom, Li Qing had inherited it from her mother.

He then had someone add bowls and chopsticks.

The Bearded Guest also saw the big lobster he had been longing for, and ate it without any scruples.

Everyone was eating and chatting...

Half an hour later.

The Red-Sleeve Woman said: "Since things have come to this, we have no opinion on Qing'er being a concubine; children of the rivers and lakes should not be bound by small details."

Halfway through, the Red-Sleeve Woman looked at Li Er meaningfully and said: "It's just that Qing'er must be married as a princess."

At this moment, everyone understood the ins and outs of the matter, and Li Er agreed to this.

If it weren't for Su Liang entering Changan with his name, he probably wouldn't have Su Liang as a good son-in-law, and Li Er would not allow his eldest legitimate daughter to be a concubine for others.

Seeing Li Er agree, Li Qing immediately asked Su Liang for a token of love.

Tokens of love are usually tokens exchanged by men and women when they meet.

Su Liang was not surprised by this, seeing that Li Qing was wearing a Lingyun hairpin in her hair today, he took out "Lingyun" and handed it to Li Qing.

A few breaths later, the one-foot-long Lingyun dagger was in Li Qing's hand.

The sword body was carved with dragons and phoenixes, lifelike!

The hilt was like a dragon playing with a pearl, and the scabbard was like a phoenix spreading its wings.

Li Qing drew it out casually, and suddenly the cold light was sharp, and the blade was like autumn frost.

Looking closely, the hilt was four inches long, and the blade was six inches long.

In an instant, only to see Li Qing buckle the scabbard onto the hilt, and the dragon and phoenix on the sword body merged, like a dragon playing with a phoenix.

The sword body was now a full one foot four inches and seven fen long, which is 49 centimeters long.

Li Qing liked it very much in her hand, it was the familiar recipe.

At this moment, those who didn't know were staring fixedly; dragons and phoenixes had always been exclusively for the royal family.

When they defeated the Turks, Li Er knew that Su Liang had a divine spear in his hand, which would kill if pointed and perish if swept, and his body was surrounded by nine dragons.

When he killed Zhang Shenji yesterday, Su Liang took out a sword from somewhere, which was even more shocking...

Li Er also said: "Good son-in-law, today the two heroes of the dust are both here, why not let us see your divine weapon."

"Okay, since His Majesty has spoken, it should be so."

Su Liang said calmly.

In no time, Su Liang not only brought the Dragon-Breaking Spear but also the Asking Heart Sword.

Everyone came to the courtyard at this moment.

Thus, the Dragon-Breaking Spear appeared completely before everyone.

The spear was seven feet long, bright silver all over, surrounded by nine dragons, and engraved with the words "Dragon-Breaking."

The Red-Sleeve Woman said immediately: "Good spear!"

Then she drew her sword and continued: "Good son-in-law, come and spar with me for a few moves!"

"No, no, no..." Su Liang waved his hand hurriedly: "Your sword won't do, I'm afraid I'll break it by accident."

The Red-Sleeve Woman didn't care about this, and the sword came out like a white snake spitting out its tongue, hissing and breaking the wind...

Su Liang didn't hesitate, and swung the spear with both hands, dancing a dragon-shaped silver light, and stabbed out...

The Red-Sleeve Woman felt something was wrong, and immediately blocked with her sword, trying to resist.

In an instant, a cold light arrived, and the sword in the Red-Sleeve Woman's hand broke!

By the time the Red-Sleeve Woman reacted, the spear tip was already three inches in front of her, and this was still under the condition that Su Liang held back.

Su Liang knew that there would definitely be such a sparring match today, so he specially brought the Asking Heart Sword.

But the Red-Sleeve Woman...

Su Liang was also speechless about this.

Then he looked at Li Qing and said: "Little Fengxian, hand that sword to your mother."

Li Qing followed Su Liang's direction and saw the Asking Heart Sword placed on the stone table, then went to get it.

After Li Qing picked up the Asking Heart Sword, she looked at Su Liang and said: "Brother Yu, this sword is so heavy."

The Red-Sleeve Woman heard this and walked up, weighing it in her hand.

Then she exclaimed: "Good son-in-law, this sword is afraid it weighs over a hundred jin!"

Su Liang said calmly: "Mother-in-law has good eyes, this sword weighs 108 jin, and the scabbard alone weighs 49 jin!"

"I think the weight of 59 jin will be as easy as an arm in Mother-in-law's hand."

The Red-Sleeve Woman said immediately: "Good sword!"

"Come again!"

In an instant.

Two silver lights rose in the courtyard...

The sword came out like a white snake spitting out its tongue, hissing and breaking the wind...

The spear came out like a dragon emerging from the water, the cold light was sharp...

Every move of the two, walking four bodies...

At this moment, there was only the sound of weapons colliding "ding ding... dang dang..." in the courtyard...

The two were already excited, only to see the dragon and snake flying in the courtyard, floating light and fleeting shadows...

Sometimes as light as a swallow, raising a piece of snowflake...

Sometimes as sudden as lightning, shaking down ten thousand plum blossoms...

What a beautiful human scene! ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

What a beautiful scene of the mortal world!
