Chapter 26
"Look, my lord! This is the pardon order written by the emperor himself, and this is the gold medal dedicated to Princess Huofeng!"
Zhou Xu came out of the crowd and came to Du Long. He was not in a hurry to accept the pardon and the gold medal. Instead, he looked up and down Du Long, who had turned into a blood man, and secretly shook his thumb at him and said in a low voice: "Boy, my brother-in-law has convinced you! Fight a bloody path for a woman who swung a saber angrily!"
Xia Qinglian, who was originally nervous about Du Long, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhou Xu's slightly teasing words. At the same time, her jade face turned red. her.
"Hey, uncle, you came in such a hurry! If another city defense captain came here, I would be in big trouble!" Du Long whispered to his uncle with a smile. This Zhou Xu is the younger brother of Du's mother Zhou Ruoxue. The power of the Zhou family in the capital is not weaker than that of the Du family at all.
Taking the pardon and the princess gold medal from Du Long in a leisurely manner, Zhou Xu pretended to examine it carefully, and whispered to Du Long, "Stinky boy! Is what you said true? Is the princess so familiar? How come my uncle has never heard of this matter?"
"It's only recently that I have met Princess Huofeng. I must not lie to you. My old lady, your second sister, gave the money to redeem Qinglian! If you don't believe me, you can ask her if you have time!" Du Long squeezed She winked and explained to Zhou Xu.
After Zhou Xu verified the authenticity of the pardon and the token of the princess in his hand, he believed Du Long's words to 100% in his heart, so he deliberately said with a straight face: "Come on! Take the two of them and that woman Take them back together!"
Zhou Xu pointed to Du Long and Xia Qinglian, and also pointed to Du Caini who had just come down from the second floor. Soon, two teams of city defense troops stepped forward to arrest people. But he was surprisingly obedient, and he was caught obediently without even saying a word when his sword was confiscated.
"May I ask the captain's name? I'm very familiar with Deputy General Liu of your City Defense Army!" Shopkeeper Yuan, who had followed Du Caini down early, rushed forward to greet Zhou Xu.
'The lieutenant general surnamed Liu is a fart! ’ Zhou Xu snorted coldly in disdain, there is no way, my third uncle is the third-rank general Huaihua of the city defense army, and that deputy general is really unattractive! It's a pity that Zhou Xu, the school captain, doesn't usually go in Zuixianglou, so it's normal if shopkeeper Yuan doesn't know him!
"You are the shopkeeper here, right? Du Long has a pardon written by the emperor himself, and the gold medal of Princess Huofeng. This matter can only be regarded as bad luck for you! I took it away. If you have any questions, please contact the city defense army. Complain! Farewell!" Zhou Xu was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, he knew the background of Zuixianglou well, if other forces were recruited, it would be a little troublesome to leave at that time!
Shopkeeper Yuan could only watch helplessly as the city defense army took Du Long and Xia Qinglian away. Judging by the captain's tone, he seemed not to take himself seriously. It seemed that he could only report this matter to his boss and ask him to come forward. solved!
At the gate of Zuixiang Building, the city defense sergeants who had received orders from Captain Zhou had pulled out two war horses from the stables of Zuixiang Building. They were the horses ridden by Du Long and Du Caini. The war horses of each family had clan badges. Easy to recognize!
Du Long turned on the war horse he was riding, and stretched out his hand to Xia Qinglian who was below with a bright smile: "Miss Qinglian, if you don't mind, you can ride with me!"
Almost without any hesitation, Xia Qinglian stretched out her jade hand and handed it to Du Long, who was then easily pulled onto the horse. Feeling the warm breath of a little man coming from her back, this white scarf-masked beauty blushed again. At the base of the neck!
"Let's go!" Zhou Xu shouted after casting an ambiguous glance at Du Long and Xia Qinglian who were sitting together.
All the soldiers of the city defense army surrounded by three horses left the Zuixiang Tower in a mighty manner. They seemed to be heading for the headquarters of the city defense army, but in fact they turned a corner on the way and went to Du's mansion.
Feeling the soft and boneless skin of the beautiful woman in his arms, Du Long was a young man with vigorous blood after all, and gradually began to respond physically. He could feel Xia Qinglian's body becoming a little stiff, and he immediately knew that he was embarrassing!
Zhou Xu, who hurriedly rode forward, had nothing to say: "Uncle! Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Why are you on duty at the city defense army headquarters tonight? Isn't this like your usual style?"
"Hey! Do you think my uncle is willing? It's not your grandfather who insists that security before and after the New Year's Eve is very important, and that our Zhou family must play a leading role. Let me and your cousins catch it together. Whoever catches it I will be on duty that day! No, uncle, I just caught today!" Zhou Xu didn't notice that something was wrong with Du Long, so he replied a little depressed.
His words made Du Caini and Xia Qinglian couldn't help but relax, and the little embarrassment between Du Long and Xia Qinglian was relieved a lot. In order not to cause embarrassment again, Du Long could only continue to talk about nothing. Significantly!
A group of three riders chatted and walked under the escort of the city defense sergeants, and soon arrived outside the gate of Du Mansion. Zhou Xu unceremoniously took the strange-shaped sword used by Du Long from his subordinates. The heavy hand made him startled.
"Boy! My uncle estimates that this saber weighs at least a hundred catties! I haven't seen you for two months, and you have become much more powerful!" Zhou Xu stared at Du Long as if he was looking at a monster, and then moved The sword was handed back to him.
"Hey, don't be surprised for three days!" Du Long could only reach out to take his saber with a dry smile.
Zhou Xu could only helplessly shake his head, turned around and sent all the soldiers of the City Defense Army back, and then accompanied Du Long and the others into the Du Mansion!
"Have the people in Zuixiang Tower eaten up their hearts and guts? How dare they touch my precious grandson, it's shocking, send troops to Lao Tzu to move Zuixiang Tower to the ground!" From the east chamber of Du's mansion, old man Du was angry. endless roar.
Seeing Du Long and Xia Qinglian covered in blood, not to mention Mr. Du was furious, even Du Zhentian and Zhou Ruoxue were furious. No matter how strong the Zuixianglou background is, they dare not touch the grandson of the Du family!
Once the Du and Zhou families join forces, no one in the entire capital will dare to underestimate them!
"Grandpa, don't worry, the child only has one or two minor injuries outside the skin. This time, Zuixianglou suffered a great loss. Not only did dozens of guards be injured, but they were also smashed to pieces!" Du Long hurriedly waved his hands to stop his grandfather and said, Today, I have taken advantage of all the advantages, and it would be a bit too much to send troops to bully others.
"Come here! Take the young master and Miss Qinglian down to wash up!" Mother Du Zhou Ruoxue looked at her precious son with some distress, and didn't have the time to say anything to Xia Qinglian right now. Everything will be done after they wash and change their clothes. It's not too late to chat.
Seeing the two bloody figures disappearing outside the gate, Zhou Xu said curiously: "Second sister! Didn't Du Long not be able to practice before? Do you know that I led the city defense army to Zuixiang Tower just now, and he actually Fighting from the second floor to the first floor with a saber alone, even the dozens of guards in the Zuixiang Building can't stop him?"
"Hey! I also feel that the brat has become a bit incomprehensible recently. It seems that he has a lot of secrets. When did this kid order such a saber? I haven't seen it before?" Du Long left with the saber in Zhou Ruoxue's mind. With the appearance of the hall, it is impossible for Du Long to put the saber into the space ring in front of others!
Zhou Ruoxue suppressed her doubts, and then explained that Du Long had repaired his physical problems with the help of Gui Yuandan, and then Du Caini explained how Du Long met Princess Huofeng and why he made a big fuss about Zuixianglou Only then did Zhou Xu understand what happened to his only nephew.
Half an hour later, Du Long and Xia Qinglian came out after taking a bath and changed into clean clothes. When they came to Du's mansion, Xia Qinglian didn't need to continue wearing the white silk scarf. Her beautiful face lit up the whole living room. Grandpa Du, Du Zhentian and his wife nodded secretly, and even Du Caini and the school captain Zhou Xu couldn't help showing envious expressions.
