Madam, protect me!

early morning.

Today is a holiday. Early in the morning, An Ning and Fenghuang went shopping. At noon, Li Nuo and the beautiful lady went to Song Mansion together.

Li Nuo had not attended the Song family dinner for a long time.

Today, the Song family is as lively as ever. The second and third generations of the Song family are all here. Li Nuo also saw Song Yu, whom he had not seen for a long time.

After failing the imperial examination twice, he was assigned to join the army.

Compared with the strictness of the imperial examination, the conditions of the army are much more relaxed. The uncle Song Tai is a general of a certain guard in Chang'an. Arranging him under his command is just a matter of words.

Although Song Yu is not very good at reading, he still has some background as a general.

After joining the army, after undergoing military training, he successfully entered the army in just two months and is now a team leader.

For military strategists, war is undoubtedly the fastest way to improve their cultivation.

The Warring States Period was the peak of military strategists.

The military saints in history all came from that period.

Nowadays, the world has been at peace for a long time, and military strategists have long declined. Only relying on low-intensity exercises and training on weekdays, it is difficult for military strategists to produce high-level strong men again.

Li Nuo was writing a new military book for the Ministry of War of Great Xia. When he was in Zhao State, he did not put out all the military theories in his mind.

Although this cannot directly improve the strength of Daxia's army, it can also benefit the soldiers under their command by improving the cultivation of a few generals.

After the family dinner, Li Nuo planned to find Song Yu.

As a military strategist, practice and theory go hand in hand.

In addition to winning more battles, writing military books can also quickly improve your cultivation.

With Song Yu's current level of cultivation, it would be no problem for Li Nuo to help him advance to two realms in a short period of time as long as he guides him a little.

As soon as he walked into Song Yu's yard, he heard the angry voice of his second uncle Song Lian: "What, you want to marry that brothel girl?"

Song Yu argued: "Yuanyang is not a brothel girl, she is a musician, and a musician who understands the art of war. I was able to enter the country so quickly because she taught me a lot..."

"Isn't the musician still a brothel girl?"

"She's not!"

"In short, you can take her as your concubine, but you can't marry her as your wife!"

"I will never marry her unless I am in this life!"

"You traitor!"

Seeing Li Nuo walking in, Song Lian pointed at Song Yu and said, "Let Li Nuo judge. Our Song family is a famous family, but this rebellious son actually wants to marry a brothel girl and ruin the Song family's family tradition!"

Li Nuo didn't know how to answer for a moment.

With the current trend in Daxia, people regard this more as an elegant matter.

But the second uncle has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years and his thinking must be more conservative. It is understandable that he cannot accept it.

Li Nuo could only follow his heart and said: "Second uncle, Song Yu is actually right. Yuanyang girls cannot be counted as brothel girls..."

People rely on their craftsmanship to make a living, so there is no reason to be discriminated against.

Seeing that Li Nuo was on his side, Song Yu became bolder. He immediately puffed up his chest and said, "Brother-in-law is right. Dad, you are an official of the imperial court. Can you look down on ordinary people? Those Confucian classics you have learned Where have you gone? The imperial court allows you to serve as officials so that you can serve the country and benefit the people. Yes, I'm not asking you to act condescending. Don't say that the Yuanyang girl is not a brothel girl. You can look down on the brothel girls? If they have other ways of living, who is willing to ruin themselves? The reason why they are reduced to this is not because You officials have not managed the country well..."

Song Yu's impassioned words left Song Lian speechless.

Li Nuo looked at Song Yu twice in surprise. He really didn't expect that Song Yu would have such an awareness.

Although he is a scumbag, he is also from the four major academies. The students in the academies receive orthodox Confucian education. Even if they cannot do what Confucianism requires, their cognition will definitely not be bad.

This kind of awareness will slowly disappear after they enter the officialdom.

And if we can achieve the unity of knowledge and action, we will be able to generate awe-inspiring aura.

Looking at the Confucian officials in the court, if they did not develop awe-inspiring aura when they were students, there is a high probability that they will not develop it in the future.

And even if someone develops an awe-inspiring spirit when they are students, they may not be able to retain it after leaving the academy.

At this time, Song Yu had already run behind Li Nuo and bravely said: "Miss Phoenix is ​​also a musician. Do you dare to say that Miss Phoenix is ​​a brothel girl?"

Song Lian was speechless for a moment. Who in Chang'an didn't know the relationship between the master of Yuyin Pavilion and Li Nuo? He really didn't dare to say such nonsense.

He waved his hand and said, "I don't care who you want to marry!"

After that, he waved his sleeves and left.

Song Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, clasped his fists at Li Nuo and said, "Thank you very much, brother-in-law, for speaking up for me just now..."

Li Nuo waved his hand and said: "I'm telling the truth, you'd better discuss this matter with your second uncle. I'm looking for you this time because of other matters..."

If you want to be promoted in the army, you can only rely on strength. The higher your cultivation level, the higher the position you can hold. A military strategist in the third level can at least serve as a captain in the army. The influence of the Song family in the army, It can last another generation.

Song Yu looked excited, held his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, you are really my reborn parents!"

After leaving Song Yu's residence, Li Nuo did not go back.

Tonight, he will stay with the beautiful lady at the Song Mansion for one night.

This small courtyard in the Song Mansion carries too many memories for them.

The beauty was already in the third trimester of pregnancy and had difficulty moving. Li Nuo asked her to sit on the edge of the bed while he moved a small stool to wash her feet.

He has seen the feet of four women. The beautiful feet and the beautiful feet are small and slender, while the feet of An Ning and Fenghuang are relatively plump, and each has its own merits in details. Relatively speaking, Li Nuo prefers the feet to be slightly plumper.

The beautiful woman looked down at him and suddenly asked: "Ms. Mister, what do you think of Phoenix?"

Li Nuo raised his head and glanced at her. Could it be that she and An Ning were working together to defraud him?

Li Nuo lowered his head, concentrated on washing her feet, and said casually: "It's good. She can still stay with you three when I'm not at home. I don't know how to thank her..."

The beauty said: "Yesterday, Phoenix said she wanted to get married."

Li Nuo raised his head and said in shock: "What?"

This is not good news for him.

Whether his family can be harmonious or not depends entirely on Phoenix.

Li Nuo asked: "Does she have someone she wants to marry?"

The beauty shook her head and said, "No, the people in Chang'an all thought she was already a member of our Li family, and no one dared to marry her."

Li Nuo coughed lightly. This was a rumor she had spread herself, so she couldn't blame him.

The beauty continued: "Since everyone thinks so, why don't you just marry her, so that she can stay with us all the time? Yiren has already asked, and Phoenix also likes you..."

Li Nuo looked at her and suspected that he was dreaming.

It's hard to imagine that his wife would take the initiative to let him marry someone else.

She was not so straightforward with An Ning or Yi Ren.

It seems that she really likes Phoenix.

So, An Ning wasn't joking last night?

She said that Yiren had asked Fenghuang. Doesn't it mean that Yiren also meant the same thing?

The stingy lover would actually agree, which is even more incredible than the wife agreeing.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the beauty asked, "Do you dislike her background?"

Li Nuo said: "How is that possible!"

The beauty thought for a while and then asked: "You don't like her?"

Li Nuo shook his head and said, "No..."

No one dislikes Phoenix.

As a man, Li Nuo had to admit that aside from the shortcomings of not being able to fight, Phoenix was simply perfect.

And the reason why he cares so much about whether he can fight is because he couldn't fight before.

When he entered the fifth realm, it no longer mattered whether the ladies could fight or not.

The beauty looked at him and said simply: "Since she likes you and you like her, then this matter is settled..."

Li Nuo was slightly startled: "Huh?"

Until the next day when he went home, Li Nuo was still a little unbelievable.

As soon as he returned to Ningxinyuan, he was taken to the room by Yi Ren.

Yiren stared at him and asked, "How are you thinking about it?"

Li Nuo said: "How about what?"

Yi Ren put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid. Song Jia and Li Anning must have told you about Sister Phoenix..."

Li Nuo glanced at her and asked, "What do you think?"

Yi Ren said: "Because of you, Sister Fenghuang can't get married. Of course you have to be responsible for her!"

She snorted softly again and said: "If you hadn't spent all day in front of others, chatting with Song Jiaren and Li Anning, she wouldn't have thought about getting married. It's all your fault..."

Li Nuo could only say: "Okay, it's all my fault..."

Yi Ren grabbed his arm and said, "I don't care, you can't let Sister Phoenix go anyway..."

In the case of Phoenix, Beauty, An Ning and Yi Ren rarely reached a unified front.

None of them wanted Phoenix to leave.

Li Nuo didn't want to either.

Phoenix hasn't left yet, but they are so reluctant to leave.

If she really left, Li Nuo wouldn't have to go to the Yamen anymore.

All this time, he had really only cared about himself and ignored Phoenix's feelings.

Women in Daxia usually get married before they are eighteen years old. Phoenix is ​​already twenty-three years old and has no name or status. Why should he stay in the Li Mansion? Isn't this a waste of time for others?

When Yiren took Li Nuo to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, the beautiful lady An Ning and Fenghuang were already waiting here.

Phoenix raised his head and glanced at him, two red clouds rose on his pretty face, and immediately lowered his head, fidgeting with the corners of his clothes uneasily with his hands.

An Ning coughed lightly and said: "Everyone is here, I won't beat around the bush, Sister Fenghuang, in fact, we have long regarded you as a family. If you leave one day, Sister Jiaren and I will be very sad..." "

Yiren hugged Fenghuang's arm tightly and said, "I don't want you to leave either..."

An Ning looked at Fenghuang and asked, "Sister Fenghuang, are you willing to become a family with us?"

Phoenix's face turned red with embarrassment, his head almost buried in his chest, and he whispered: "I, I do."

An Ning didn't ask Li Nuo for his opinion at all. He held the beauty in one hand and Phoenix in the other, put their hands together, and said with a smile: "We will be real sisters from now on..."

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Yiren suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked at her, and An Ning asked, "What are you doing?"

Yiren glanced at them and said, "I also have something to announce."

After attracting everyone's attention, she suddenly held Li Nuo's face and kissed him deeply.

After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Song Jiaren and Li Anning.

But their faces didn't have the shocked expressions she imagined.

Song Jiaren's expression showed no surprise.

Li Anning's face was full of teasing.

After a moment's pause, she finally realized something and looked back at Li Nuo, saying angrily, "Did you tell them?"

Li Nuo shook his head, saying that he was innocent.

Yiren wanted to take a small revenge on them, but she didn't expect that she failed to take revenge and made them laugh at her.

She flew away angrily. At this time, Anning took Jiaren's hand and said, "We also went to find a female doctor for treatment..."

Soon, only Li Nuo and Fenghuang were left in the pavilion in the center of the lake.

They were still friends yesterday, but today their relationship was forcibly changed. This was the first time that Li Nuo had experienced this. He looked at Fenghuang, feeling a little embarrassed, and moved his lips, saying, "I..."

Fenghuang stepped forward, raised a finger, and whispered, "Shh, don't say anything..."

The two were so close that Li Nuo could feel the strong pressure coming from his chest.

Fenghuang gently tiptoed, and a faint fragrance came to his face.

A deep kiss lasting a quarter of an hour was enough to smooth out all the embarrassment.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Fenghuang held his hand and said, "I want to take you to Yuyin Pavilion to meet the sisters..."

Li Nuo nodded. When the two walked out of the gatehouse of Li's mansion, Wu Guanjia looked back and smiled, "Young Master, let's go..."

He stared at the woman next to Li Nuo with wide eyes and couldn't speak for a long time.

When the two disappeared, he looked at Lao Huang opposite and said, "That old guy is really amazing. He also calculated this..."

In Chang'an, when Li Nuo and Fenghuang walked hand in hand on the street, countless people took the initiative to greet him.

"Meet the top scholar!"

"Hello, Lord Li!"

The revision of the law greatly weakened the privileges of the powerful and increased the cost of crime. He also reformed the medical system with iron-blooded means to solve the problem of difficulty and high cost of seeing a doctor for the people of Chang'an. His reputation in the hearts of the people was unparalleled.

His father, Li Xuanjing, the Minister of the Dali Temple, had a reputation in the hearts of the people that was half good and half bad.

Although the other party killed many corrupt officials and dignitaries who deserved to be killed, many good people also died at his hands.

Unlike his father, the champion himself had no place to be attacked since he entered the officialdom.

After the two walked away, people began to whisper again.

"The one next to the champion is Miss Fenghuang from Yuyin Pavilion, right?"

"Didn't they say that they were not in a relationship?"

"They even held hands, how could they not be in a relationship?"

"Didn't someone refute the rumor before?"

"You believe this, too? Ha, I knew from the beginning that Miss Fenghuang must be the wife of the champion, but there are still people who don't believe it..."

...

Yuyin Pavilion

"Congratulations to Sister Fenghuang for finding a good home."

"Congratulations to brother-in-law, you finally got your beautiful wife!"

"When can I drink your wedding wine?"

"Brother-in-law must treat Sister Fenghuang well in the future..."

After saying hello to the girls in Yuyin Pavilion, Fenghuang wanted to pack up. Seeing that she would not be able to pack up in a short time, Li Nuo planned to go to the Secretariat first and pick her up at noon to go back together.

At the window on the second floor of Yuyin Pavilion, an old woman watched Li Nuo's back disappear, turned her head and looked at Fenghuang, with a smile on her old face.

She gave Fenghuang a month.

But she only took two days.

She looked at Fenghuang and exclaimed: "You are worthy of it..."

Fenghuang glanced at her lightly and said: "For Daqi, I even gave myself away. Haven't you ever thought of expressing your gratitude?"

For the mission, spies like them should make sacrifices no matter how big they are.

But considering that she had successfully completed the task, the old woman did not bother with her and asked, "What do you want?"

Phoenix said calmly, "I want to be in charge of Daxia Qingluan Society."

The old woman frowned. Qingluan Society is the most secretive spy agency in Daqi. With Phoenix's level, it is impossible for her to be in charge of even a branch.

She also has no right to agree to her.

She thought for a while and said, "Since you have made great contributions this time, I will pass your request to the higher-ups..."
