Xu Fengwu bid farewell to Fang Baihua and headed straight for Jiang State Capital. He quickly found Ruan Second and the others.
"Brother, I heard that someone tried to assassinate Cai Jiu in the city. The soldiers are searching everywhere!”Ruan the Second walked up to Xu Fengwu as soon as he saw him.
Xu Fengwu nodded." Since the soldiers are searching for us, we can't stay here for long. Let's leave now!"”
"Alright!"
Second Ruan had no objections. Everyone was on the boat, waiting for Xu Fengwu to speak.
Xu Fengwu returned to the boat and met Liang Chengye and the others. Everyone started talking about Cai Jiu's assassination.
Li Jun shouted," That Cai Jiu has done many evil things. He has finally incurred the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people. I wonder which hero did it. It's a pity that we didn't kill that fellow."”
Yang Lin said," I heard that the assassin was a woman and had a group of accomplices. They were all wearing white clothes and black hats. I'm afraid it was the work of the Manichaeans."”
Liang Chengye shook his head." Cai Jiu relied on his father Cai Jing's power. Ever since he took office last year, he has been running amok in Jiang Prefecture. He has almost become the local tyrant here. He has been assassinated many times.”
Xu Fengwu looked at the crowd's discussion and smiled. He had just happened to meet Fang Baihua today. He did not expect Fang Baihua to dare to assassinate Cai Jiu on the street.
Since they had met, Xu Fengwu could not ignore it. It would be a great regret if such a beauty died because of humiliation.
After a while, the ship slowly moved down the river towards Chizhou.
Chizhou and Jiangzhou were next to each other. They were both by the Yangtze River and could be reached by going down the river. However, everyone left relatively late. The sky was already dark when they entered Chizhou.
Xu Fengwu was not in a hurry. He stayed in Dongliu County for a night and continued his journey the next morning. Before noon, he arrived outside Chizhou City.
Everyone called an ox cart and loaded all the gifts they had bought into the cart before heading into the city.
"You bought so many things. My mother will tell you later.”Liang Chengye shook his head.
"It's not wrong to be polite. Besides, we're not outsiders!”Xu Fengwu said with a smile.
After a while, everyone arrived at the Liang family's mansion. As Grand Duke Liang's birthday was approaching, there were often people who came to visit, so there were servants waiting outside the door at all times.
When the servants saw Liang Chengye, they came up to him. The leader said,"Young Master, you're finally back. Why don't I see the Xu family's great-grandfather?”
" My uncle can't come this time," Liang Chengye said." This is Young Master Biao. He's here in my uncle's place."”
"Greetings, Young Master!" The servants hurriedly said.”
"You're welcome," Xu Fengwu said.
Liang Chengye said," Quickly inform my mother and the others. Also, move these gifts in. Remember to be careful. Take these brothers to rest."”
"Alright!"
The leader of the servants quickly nodded and called for people to move the things. He then said to Second Ruan and the others,""Everyone, please follow me in to rest."
"Cousin, please follow me." Liang Chengye held Xu Fengwu's arm and went straight to the lobby.
Chizhou Liang family, a family of generals, father and son two generals, far and near good talk.
Grand Duke Liang was known as General Old Liang, while Xu Fengwu's uncle was General Xiao Liang.
In the hall, the entire Liang Family, old and young, all came to the hall when they heard that Xu Fengwu had arrived.
Xu Fengwu went forward to greet them one by one. Seeing that he was handsome and polite, everyone couldn't help but praise him.
"We're all family, why did you bring so many things?" General Liang chided. Feng Wu, why isn't your father here?”
Xu Fengwu said," My father's legs have been inconvenient recently, so he can't come to congratulate you. Please forgive me."”
General Liang waved his hand." We're family. The last time I saw your father, his body was still very strong. Why is his leg inconvenient?"”
Xu Fengwu said," My father isn't like the Great Grandfather. He's skilled in martial arts and is still strong in his old age. It's normal for him to have some minor illnesses."”
These words made Great Grandfather Liang laugh heartily.
Then, everyone asked Xu Yuanzhong, Madam Xu, and how the Xu family came in. Xu Fengwu answered them one by one.
Naturally, Xu Fengwu could not tell the truth. He had already discussed with Liang Chengye to hide the matter at home.
"Nephew, are you married?" Mrs. Livingstone asked.”
"Never married," Xu Fengwu shook his head.”
"That's true. My nephew is a handsome man. How can ordinary women match him?”
Mrs. Livingstone sized up Xu Fengwu with a very happy expression. Then, she moved closer to Mrs. Livingstone's ear and whispered something.
The old madam was also delighted when she heard that. She looked at Xu Fengwu again and again, then nodded and said,"It's not bad!"
Xu Fengwu felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two.
As everyone was chatting, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside."Mother, did we have a guest?”
When General Xiao Liang heard the voice, he smiled and said,""Your cousin is back."
Xu Fengwu looked over and saw a young girl walking in. She had a beautiful face and was dressed in a tight suit. She held a wild goose in her right hand and a longbow on her back. It was obvious that she had just returned from hunting.
"Where did you go?" Mrs. Livingstone scolded. Your cousin came to our house. What's wrong with you?”
"Cousin?"
The girl was surprised. She looked at Xu Fengwu and asked,""Could it be that cousin of the Xu family?”
"Who else could it be?" Mrs. Livingstone asked.”
"What are you standing there for?" Old Mrs. Liang frowned. Why aren't you calling for help? Don't you know any manners?”
Liang Hongyu smiled and placed the bow and arrows and the wild goose on the ground. She went forward and bowed to Xu Fengwu."Little sister greets cousin of the Xu family!"
"You're welcome!"
Xu Fengwu looked at Liang Hongyu and could not help but sigh. This was the famous female general in history. She was indeed different.
Liang Hongyu was not afraid of strangers. She sized Xu Fengwu up and asked,""Does Cousin Xu know martial arts?"
Xu Fengwu smiled and said,"I also know a few punches and kicks."”
"Really?" Liang Hongyu's eyes lit up. Cousin Xu, why don't we spar?”
"Your cousin is a guest, how can you fight with a guest?" Old General Liang scolded. If you continue to cause trouble, I'll beat you out!”
Liang Hongyu stuck out her tongue and said,"I was just joking!"
Mrs. Livingstone said,"Fengwu, your cousin is like this. She hasn't been a girl since she was young. She even danced with her father and brother. How can she marry in the future?"”
Liang Hongyu blushed when she heard the word " married ". She seemed very embarrassed.
Xu Fengwu smiled." It's good to learn some martial arts. It can be used for self-defense at critical moments."”
"Mother, look at Cousin. He said that martial arts is good!”Liang Hongyu's face was filled with joy. She had a good impression of this cousin whom she had just met.
Mrs. Livingstone glared at him and said,"Hurry up and change your clothes.”
"I'll go now!" Liang Hongyu shrunk her neck and smiled at Xu Fengwu. Then, she picked up the longbow and the wild goose and slipped into the backyard.
"This girl has been like this since she was young," General Xiao Liang said."You must be laughing at her. This time, you have traveled thousands of miles to Chizhou, so you must stay for a few more days.”
"Since Uncle has given the order, I dare not disobey.”Xu Fengwu cupped his hands.
