Chapter 224: Dingguohou Mansion

When Zhongli Ruoshui said the name Yin Yue Pavilion, Li Chenan was slightly startled:

"Where is Yin Yue Pavilion?"

"I don't know either. I don't think many people in the entire Dingguo Hou Mansion know about it."

"But when I was young, I was chatting with the housekeeper, Grandpa Pu, and he seemed to let it slip. I asked him if he was the most skilled person in the house besides grandma, and he denied it."

"I asked him who is the tallest one besides grandma?"

"He said it was Sikong Bao."

"I asked him why he had never seen Sikong Bao before."

"He said that the leopard is hidden in the Hidden Moon Pavilion, and the Hidden Moon Pavilion is somewhere in Shuiyun Mountain. There are many masters in it, and they were all obtained by grandma by conquering people with force, so,"

Zhongli Ruoshui smiled slyly, "So I built the Shuiyun Stream at the foot of Shuiyun Mountain. What I thought at the time was that I hoped to meet the masters in Yinyue Pavilion, and I was just curious."

"I stayed in Shuiyunjian for a long time. At that time, Divine Doctor Sun and Xiao Wu were also in Shuiyunjian. Firstly, Divine Doctor Sun didn't like to treat people, so he wanted to hide his identity. Secondly... of course...

It is convenient to treat my illness."

"During the years I stayed in Shuiyunjian, although I went to Shuiyun Mountain to explore it, I still didn't know where Yin Yue Pavilion was."

"But I believe it must exist!"

Li Chenan asked curiously: "Why do you believe it?"

"Because Grandpa Pu will not lie to me. Of course, the most important thing is because although Divine Doctor Sun has superb medical skills, in terms of his martial arts... his martial arts are not high. At that time, he was only at the lower level of the fourth realm!"

"In addition, the weapon used by Divine Doctor Sun is a short sword, but what Xiao Wu learned is not a sword, but... boxing!"

"You haven't asked Xiao Wu?"

Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head, "Xiao Wu won't lie, but he didn't tell me this, which means it's a secret that he can't tell me."

"If I ask, Xiao Wu will answer. This will go against his wishes and make him feel uneasy from now on."

This is Zhongli Ruoshui's understanding.

This is also the wisdom of Zhongli Ruoshui!

Li Chenan thinks this is his luck.

The two chatted quietly, and the carriage stopped unconsciously.

When Li Chenan and Zhong Liruo got out of the carriage, he suddenly realized that he was not standing in front of the gate of Dingguo Hou Mansion, but in front of a pavilion.

He looked around and saw a long wall made of bluestone that was as tall as a person.

He is within the walls.

Of course this pavilion is also within the wall.

He looked up and saw three big characters on the pavilion: Xia Ma Pavilion!

"This was built in the 15th year of Jingtai, after my grandfather and grandma defeated the Uighur army and returned to the court, and the late emperor conferred the title of Marquis of Dingguo on my grandfather."

Zhongli Ruoshui pointed to the plaque on the pavilion and added: "These three words were written by the late emperor himself. The meaning is very simple. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, even the emperor, had to dismount his horse or get off his sedan chair and walk in when he got here.

"

This may be the highest royal favor in this era.

Li Chenan didn't have any thoughts of respect for this, he just felt that the style of the pavilion standing here was very good.

After all, it is a place where even the emperor would get off the dragon chariot and walk, which is enough to show the noble status of the people in the mansion!

Li Chen'an held up an oil-paper umbrella, held Zhong Li Ruoshui's hand, walked on the bluestone corridor, passed through the horse pavilion, and walked inward.

There are no gardens on both sides of the corridor, but there are two rows of sweet-scented osmanthus trees.

It is the season of sweet-scented osmanthus, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus hits your nostrils in the autumn rain.

There should be fallen flowers or leaves on the corridor, but the long corridor is very clean, which shows that someone is cleaning it at any time.

After walking along for half a cup of tea, I saw a dark red wall.

A moon gate was opened in the wall.

In front of the door stood two soldiers wearing armor and holding spears.

Li Chenan looked back and saw that the corridor he walked through was winding like a snake, and the courtyard was deep and shaded by osmanthus trees.

No human sounds were heard, only the occasional chirping of birds.

Look at these two soldiers again, standing as straight as the spears in their hands.

Even if the autumn rain hit their faces, they remained motionless.

This made Li Chenan admire the Marquis and the old lady.

A glimpse of one spot reveals the whole leopard. From this point of view, if the old marquis or old lady ruled very harshly, then the army must also be very strict. This is probably the reason why the Shenwu Army is so powerful.

It's just that this atmosphere seems a bit solemn. After all, this is a place of residence rather than a military camp. If it were such a desolate place, I would not want to live in such an environment.

Perhaps this is why Zhongli Ruoshui likes to live in Huaxi Villa or Shuiyunjian.

The two soldiers looked at Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chenan at this moment.

The two of them bowed their hands in a salute, and at the same time extended their hands to lead, without saying a word. Zhongli Ruoshui was obviously used to it, and she led Li Chenan into the moon gate like this.

"This is the outer courtyard. The courtyard on the left is occupied by the maidservants of the mansion, and the courtyard on the right is occupied by the nursing home of the mansion... In fact, they are all retired soldiers of the Shenwu Army."

"The yard on the right is much larger than the left, because there are many guard yards, and because there is a stable and a blacksmith shop in the right yard."

"My grandparents live in the main courtyard, which is quite far from here."

"There are two courtyards on the left and right of the main courtyard. I remember it was very lively when I was a child, because almost the entire Dingguo Hou Mansion lived here."

"Later, of course, the family gradually separated, and my father returned to Zhongli Mansion in Guangling City... that is where the ancestral home is after all."

"The rest of the uncles have also been separated. It's not that they can't live in each other, but grandma thinks it's better to spread out. Some uncles stayed in Kyoto, and some went to other places, such as Shuzhou or Yongzhou.

wait."

Li Chenan put away the oil-paper umbrella, because the road behind was in the corridor.

He finally saw the servants in this house.

It's just that those servants also rarely speak. After seeing Zhongli Ruoshui, they will say hello and then look at themselves curiously, and then of course they go about their business.

Still clean, or rather...deserted.

Of course, judging from the current situation, it may also be the old lady's deliberate arrangement.

The two of them continued walking, and after some tea time, they arrived at the main courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the main courtyard, a voice suddenly came:

"Wow……!"

"I don't want to practice sword practice!"

"Grandma... I want to go see my brother-in-law!"

Of course she is Zhongli Ruohua!

At this moment, Zhongli Ruohua was standing in the rain crying.

She wiped her tears with one hand, stretched out her other hand, and without even looking, she caught the flying black sword with two fingers!

The moment she clamped the sword, she suddenly stopped crying and turned her head to look at the door.

Then……

The eyes on her chubby face suddenly lit up.

She flew up from the rain.

He flew towards Li Chenan.

"Brother-in-law...save me...!"
