I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 91 What Li Qingluo is thinking
Murong Bo nodded and said, "Uncle, although I know this matter is a bit hasty, the Li family and the Murong family are old friends. If the two families can become close friends, it will definitely be a good thing if it gets out."

He proposed marriage on behalf of his brother-in-law out of selfish motives.

Because he had just done a big thing in the Luanshi Valley of Yanmen Pass.

He sent a false message to the martial arts heroes of the Central Plains, saying that the Liao Kingdom sent experts to attack Shaolin Temple on the Double Ninth Festival and seize the martial arts books. Xuanci, the "Tiger Subduing Arhat" of Shaolin Temple, believed it to be true and summoned the heroes of the Central Plains to intercept and kill him on the road.

Xuan Ci acted as the "leader" and led 21 Song Dynasty martial arts masters, including the fifth-generation leader of the Beggar Gang, Wang Jiantong, Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, Wang Weiyi, and the "Three Heroes of the Du Family" from Jiangxi, to kill a couple who went to his parents-in-law's house.

Who would have thought that the man was actually Xiao Yuanshan, the chief instructor of the personal army of the Liao Shan tent. Xiao Yuanshan was able to kill 21 people and leave only 4 people by himself.

Among the martial arts masters of the Song Dynasty, some had their heads and limbs flying everywhere, and some were torn apart alive. Xuan Ci fought hard against Xiao Yuanshan, but was finally defeated and his acupoints were hit.

After the battle, only Xuanci, Wang Jiantong, Zhiguang and Zhao Qiansun survived, but Xiao Yuanshan's wife unfortunately died. This fierce battle among the heroes is known in history as the "Battle of Yanmen Pass."

Xuan Ci, who thought that Xiao Yuanshan and his wife were dead, regretted it deeply and lost all hope. Later, he sent Xiao Yuanshan's son to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife to raise him.

However, this incident was nothing more than a lie fabricated by Murong Bo because he saw that Song and Liao were on good terms and war was not going on, so he had no chance to restore Yan.

When the martial artists discovered that it was a mistake, Murong Bo hid in the cellar of his home and never left.

Xuanci even sent people to search everywhere, but there was no news.

Little did they know that Murong Bo, in order to learn the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills, settled down alone next to the Shaolin Temple. Within half a year, he had figured out the situation of the Sutra Library in the temple, disguised himself as a "grey-robed monk", and often sneaked into the library to copy down the martial arts secrets.

This time he returned to Suzhou because he missed his wife and also wanted to leave a descendant for the Murong family.

In addition, he was worried that the incident at Yanmen Pass would be exposed, so he wanted to find a way out for himself.

The sisters Li Qiushui and Li Canghai went up the mountain to learn skills from a master during the Dazhong Xiangfu period. Now it is the Zhiping period, and it has been sixty years since then, but the sisters still look like they are in their early twenties.

Even if they don't really become immortals through cultivation, it is definitely a great opportunity. Even if I can't learn any skills at all, if their descendants marry into the Wang family, maybe my descendants can learn a little bit.

So he came to ask for a marriage for his brother-in-law, hoping that Li Qiushui and her sister would agree because the Murong family was taking care of the old house for the Li family.

"Oh?" Li Qiu Shui raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, her smile as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

She said softly, "Since my parents moved to Suzhou, the Li family has undoubtedly received a lot of care from the Murong family. However, marriage is a matter of great importance. It concerns the future of both families and the lifelong happiness of their children. It is definitely not something that can be easily agreed to in a few words."

After hearing this, Murong Bo nodded repeatedly and said, "My nephew naturally understands the reasoning. Regardless of whether Aunt ultimately agrees to this marriage or not, my nephew and I would like to thank Aunt and Uncle in advance."

After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Li Qiushui and Shen Lang.

Mrs. Murong, who was standing beside her, also bowed with a smile.

She said slowly, "Although the Wang family is not as prestigious as the Li family, it is still well-known and respectable. They will definitely not treat Miss Li unfairly. If I am lucky enough to be favored by Miss Li, I will definitely instruct my brother to treat Miss Li well and never let her suffer any injustice."

At this time, Li Canghai, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later. Our Qingluo has just reached the age of marriage and is still in her youth. There is no need to rush into marriage."

Seeing that his proposal was politely rejected, Murong Bo was tactful and stopped dwelling on the topic. Instead, he cleverly changed the subject and started talking about other unimportant things.

During the conversation, Murong Bo also specifically mentioned that the Murong family had some influence and connections in Suzhou. If the Li family encountered any matters that needed help, he would be willing to do his best to handle them.

Everyone chatted for about two cups of tea, and then Murong Bo and his wife got up to say goodbye.

After expressing gratitude to Shen Lang and Li Qiu Shui again, he slowly left the Li family mansion.

Once on board, Madam Murong asked curiously, "My dear, why are you seeking marriage with the Li family on behalf of my younger brother? Although the Li family was the last ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it's been decades since the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty. While the girl is indeed beautiful, it doesn't seem necessary for our Wang family to marry into her, right?"

"Madam, you may not know this, because you may not believe what I am going to say next." Murong Bo's originally relaxed expression disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a serious look.

He stared at his wife with sharp eyes, as if what he was about to say was extremely important.

Madam Murong was somewhat bewildered by his sudden change, but she managed to gather herself and asked, "What on earth has made my husband so serious?"

Murong Bo took a deep breath and said slowly, "How old do you think the Li sisters are?"

Madam Murong carefully recalled the scene when she met the Li sisters. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "She looks to be in her early twenties, young and vigorous."

"Wrong." Murong Bo denied her answer without hesitation.

"Wrong?" Madam Murong couldn't help but frown, reconsidering, then tentatively asked, "Could it be that she's already in her thirties? She just looks younger because she takes good care of herself?" However, Murong Bo shook his head and said firmly, "More than that."

"Huh?" Madam Murong opened her mouth in surprise, her face filled with disbelief. "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible. They look so young, how could they be over thirty?"

Murong Bo's expression grew increasingly solemn. He explained word by word, "I once had the good fortune to hear from Old Master Li himself that the sisters had already begun their apprenticeship and training during the Dazhong Xiangfu era. Now, in the early years of the Zhiping era, a full sixty years had already passed."

"But what's incredible is that time seems to have stopped for them, and they still look so young."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Murong's eyes widened, filled with shock and confusion.

Her lips trembled slightly as she muttered to herself, "Could they...could they be the descendants of those sisters? Otherwise, how could they still look so young after sixty years? This is simply unbelievable!"

"I don't think so," Murong Bo said slowly, recalling their previous encounter on Lake Tai. "When I ran into them on Lake Tai, they clearly stated that they were the granddaughters of Li Yu's grandson, Li Zhengyan. Even their names were correct."

"This is truly incredible." Madam Murong frowned slightly, a look of disbelief still on her face as she muttered to herself, "Could it be that immortals really exist in this world? Such a miraculous thing is truly unimaginable."

Murong Bo shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Whether immortals really exist or not, I don't know, but what is certain is that they must have experienced some extraordinary adventure. That's why I decided to ask them for a job on behalf of my brother-in-law."

He said seriously, "If this marriage can be facilitated, it will not only be a good thing for the Wang family, but it will also benefit our Murong family a lot."

When Mrs. Murong heard this, she suddenly understood and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.

She nodded repeatedly and said, "My husband has thought it through thoroughly. In that case, I will leave this matter to you. As for the Wang family, I will go and explain the situation. I'm sure they won't refuse such a marriage."

In the hall of the Li family's old house, Li Qiu Shui elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Then he chuckled and said, "I can't believe this kid from the Murong family actually wants to ask for Luo'er's hand in marriage. He must have some ulterior motive."

"That's absolutely correct!" Shen Lang nodded, expressing his firm agreement with this point of view.

"In my opinion, this person must have gotten into some terrible trouble and was left with nowhere else to turn. He happened to see you, with your ageless beauty and youthfulness, and became greedy. He then came to us to seek our help, hoping to help him overcome his current difficulties."

When Li Canghai heard this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

He said with disdain, "When I first saw him, I felt that his eyes revealed a cunning aura. He clearly had evil intentions and was hiding evil. Maybe he was even dreaming of restoring his country!"

She added, "Even if we were just an ordinary family, if we really married someone like that, sooner or later we would be dragged down by him and end up with a miserable end."

Li Qiushui nodded slightly after hearing this, then turned her gaze to Li Qingluo beside her and asked softly, "Luo'er, what do you think about this matter?"

When Li Qingluo heard this, her cheeks suddenly turned red as a hint of shyness appeared on her pretty face.

She bit her lip lightly, her eyes revealing a tenderness like water, and she slowly said, "Mother, why do you suddenly ask me this question? I have already performed the three bows to the young prince in Wuliang Mountain and officially became his wife."

"Right now, all my daughter wants is to serve her husband well and give birth to a son or daughter for the young prince to continue the family line. How could she possibly have the mind to think about anything else?"

Hearing this, Li Qiushui smiled and said, "Then you must work harder. I think the young prince must like his daughter."

Shen Lang took over the conversation, "I think we should stay here for a few days and then go out for a walk, so that Murong Bo won't come to bother us again."

"That's what I thought," Li Qiushui nodded. "We finally got back from Dali, so let's rest for a few days. Then we'll go to Luoyang. Senior Brother Wuyazi hasn't found the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms manual yet, right? Let's go to the Beggars' Sect headquarters and ask for it."

……

night.

Li Qingluo works hard to continue the young prince's family line.

After being hit by three consecutive shots.

She lay on the young prince's broad and strong chest.

Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Husband, if we have a child, how about naming the boy Yu Lang and the girl Yu Yan?"

"As you said, I wonder how your rest went? Let's continue..."
