Chapter 17: Visitors in the Rain
The absurd and uninhibited anecdotes of Da Zhou Ho Jing are endless.
Among them, there is a piece of news, which has been in a uproar in the past few days, and it is the most attention-grabbing.
One is that Li Yancheng, the son of Si Nong Changshi, was beaten in the Red Mansion.
One is a disciple of the sword practitioner, the one who likes the man in black for a long time, and is stupefied after making a bet with a Extreme Realm monk.
According to rumors, someone under the sword practitioner offered a heavy reward for the Extreme Realm monk, wanting to avenge the man in black and wash away the shame of the sect.
Another incident occurred a few days before the incident between Li Yancheng and the man in black.
Wang Wenqing, the eldest son of Shaofu Changshi, was attacked by gangsters in a remote alley.
It is said that Wang Wenqing fought hard to resist, but was defeated after all, and is now bedridden.
The young governor Shi informed Ho Jingling that there was no news about the arrest of the suspect.
The last one, and the most high-profile one, is like a rock breaker.
The marriage of Li Xuanying, the eldest lady of the Shang Prince's Mansion.
After the news came out, how many powerful sons and daughters of Ho Jing were heartbroken.
At the same time, these people all wanted to know that it was the young master of that family who took the lead and plucked this delicate flower of pickaxe.
After many inquiries, I found out that this was the doll of the Shang Wangfu and that family.
How many people beat their feet and chests, complaining about their parents, they had no eyes and missed their good fate.
As for the causal connection of these messages, no one cares.
It was drizzling on this day, and the culprit Xu Feng was drinking tea in a teahouse.
After making a bet with the man in black, Tianxin Divine Technique went retrograde.
True Qi flowed backwards, accumulating in Qifu Yuanhai, Xu Feng's body was like a spotless courtyard that had been cleaned, and even his muscles atrophied and his viscera dried up.
But because of the blessing of misfortune, it seems that the wild grass in spring, the wildfire cannot be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.
Xu Feng's cultivation has reached a higher level, but he has never been able to break through the barrier of the Dao realm, his physical body is far stronger than before, and the wisps of true qi in the Qifu Yuan Sea are less or less, but they exist for a long time, and there is no longer a risk of dissipation at any time
Of course, this is the Qi Mansion Yuanhai's true qi accumulation is still shallow, and it is also the Dao Realm Enlightenment.
Some people have a strong sword intent, some people burn the sky, and some people are obsessed with swordsmanship.
The true qi of the Qifu Far Sea is overflowing when it is full of water, and then you can understand the rules of heaven and earth in the field that you are familiar with, and the Dao realm can be expected.
Xu Feng is casual by nature, enjoying a leisurely life, and is best at being familiar with spending silver, the road is long, and enlightenment is like ascending to the sky.
Where is the way?
After drinking tea, the sky was full of smoke and rain, Xu Feng had sorrow and longing in his heart.
I learned a lot about Tianji Pavilion from Situ Yu.
Tianji Pavilion is the place where the Great Zhou Emperor cultivates his henchmen, and only selects suitable people among the imperial court magnates.
I want to become a member of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.
First of all, there must be a big man to recommend, and then Tianji Pavilion will hold a trial, from which a hundred people who meet the requirements will be selected.
These 100 people still have to go through all kinds of tests, life and death, and in the end, there is not one in a hundred.
How many people come in a hurry, return in defeat, and even have no bones left, but they still follow one after another.
The fiancΓ© of Shang Wang's daughter and Situ Yu's friend, with these two identities, it is not difficult to recommend the big man.
Xu Feng was confused and melancholy, entering the Tianji Pavilion, could he really find his father's traces?
"Sometimes I really envy Liu Ling. β
After drinking a pot of tea, Xu Feng thought of Liu Ling, a girl full of confidence and smiling every day.
Troubles, sorrows, sadness, never stationed in the heart of this red-clothed girl who likes to eat dog meat.
When Liu Ling was there, Xu Feng was on guard everywhere, beware of this girl digging pits and burying people, but when the girl in red was not there, she felt that life was boring.
"What's in the sack now??
Xu Feng asked for another pot of tea, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he thought of the daughter of the Shang Prince's Mansion leading the son of the Shi family, the chief of the criminal division, to steal chickens and touch dogs.
Since Situ Yu met Liu Ling, the two have a similar smell.
Hearing that Liu Ling likes to eat dog meat, Situ Yu decisively contributed his own janitor black dog.
Situ Yu looks polite, gentle and elegant, in fact, he is a hooligan in his bones, he likes to steal chickens and touch dogs, fight, and beat Li Yancheng violently.
Now that I met a female hooligan leader, I found an organization, hit it off, and started a new life of embarrassment.
"I asked for this pot of tea. β
Suddenly, a trickling sound of flowing water interrupted Xu Feng's thoughts.
This is a girl with a not outstanding appearance, dressed in emerald green clothes, with freckles on her face, it is easy for people to remember her face.
"Do we know each other?"
Xu Feng was a little disappointed in his heart, and thought it was a killer girl who came to question why he didn't keep his promises.
The girl sat down and said, "What do you want?" money, power?"
Xu Feng was inexplicable, thinking to himself that the girl hadn't looked at herself?
Seeing that Xu Feng was silent, the girl continued: "To end this absurd marriage, you can have money and power. β
Xu Feng asked, "Why?"
The girl said, "Because you are not worthy?"
Xu Feng said: "I used to say that I was not worthy, but then he went crazy." β
The girl sneered and said, "Who are you?" An insignificant little person, Li Xuanying is the proud daughter of the sky, the phoenix of the Great Zhou, while someone is still in a good mood, you should put forward conditions, and then leave Hojing, this is your way out." β
Xu Feng asked, "Does Li Xuanying know?"
The girl said: "She is cultivating and doesn't ask about the world." β
Lobbyist, the persuasion of a certain big man, Xu Feng was very unhappy, and felt that there was a green grassland on his head.
The girl asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Xu Feng said: "When we get married, we will invite you to have a glass of wine with the big people behind you." β
The girl's expression froze, and she said, "Do you know who you have offended?"
Xu Feng said: "Maybe people are born with three, six, nine and so on, but the meaning of life is equal, the big man in your mouth, not only the soles of his feet are covered with dust, his clothes, hair, and even his face are stained with dust, I may be humble in front of the big man, but even the Son of Heaven has to coexist with a humble little person like me." β
The girl was stunned and couldn't say a word, but her eyes were still cold and arrogant.
In the end, the girl left, and at the moment of stepping out the door, she said, "I will tell Concubine Chen what you say, cherish your last time." β
"This marriage is not only absurd, but also troublesome. β
Xu Feng shook his head helplessly, drank the last sip of tea, and left the teahouse.
Concubine Chen is the most favored concubine of the Son of Heaven and the mother of the Three Princes.
The main palace of the Son of Heaven is vacant, and Concubine Chen will act as the queen.
This woman from a little-known small family who was born in the land of Barbaric Rongqiu, when Xu Feng left Haojing ten years ago, was also the most beautiful.
Uncle Lin drove a carriage to carry Xu Feng's mother and son out of his hometown, and passed by Concubine Chen's guard of honor.
Through the curtain of the car, Xu Feng saw Concubine Chen, a beautiful but domineering woman, who was about the same as Xu Feng in her arms.
The two children once stared at each other through the gap in the curtain, and now they are watching each other because of a woman.
It's a coincidence, and it's an irony.
The girl left the teahouse and walked back to the palace, and she also encountered a coincidence.
The palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, the chief eunuch, and the most favored chamberlain of the Son of Heaven, Mo Heng.
Mo Heng stood there, followed by a few little eunuchs, who seemed to be waiting for someone.
The girl stepped forward to salute and said, "Mr. Mo is out of the palace to do business." β
Mo Heng's white and tender beardless face was filled with a gloomy sneer, and said, "By the order of the Son of Heaven, kill a person." β
The girl's smile froze, and a bad premonition surged in her heart, what reason did Mo Heng have to tell a palace maid that the Son of Heaven was going to kill.
Salute again, the girl is ready to leave, as long as she returns to the palace, with Concubine Chen, there is still room for everything.
Mo Heng stopped the girl and said, "The girl is an old man in the palace, the rules are clear, the little cubs are hairy, not light or heavy, the girl chooses the same by herself?"
White silk, dagger, poison.
When the girl saw a little eunuch take out these three things, she was horrified and said, "Why?"
Mo Heng said: "The Son of Heaven doesn't need a reason to kill people. β
"I'm just a little palace maid, why did the Son of Heaven kill me, no, you are a false will, I want to see Niangniang. β
The girl is crazy, she is only sixteen years old, she is in full swing by the side of Concubine Chen, and she has a great future in the future, and she doesn't want to die yet.
Mo Heng didn't answer, he didn't even speak, he just picked his eyes, and the three little eunuchs around him stepped forward, two of them grabbed the girl's hands and feet, and one grabbed the dagger and stabbed the girl's heart fiercely.
Mo Heng stepped on the girl, walked to the corner of the alley, poked his head out, and could see the teahouse here, and the back of Xu Feng leaving.
The most powerful chamberlain in the palace, the old eunuch who was feared by the kings and ministers, bowed to the end towards the back, and refused to get up.
Several little eunuchs were surprised and couldn't close their mouths, and at the same time they all remembered the young man's back, such a big gift, even the lady who exercised the power of the queen had never enjoyed.
Mo Heng straightened up, glanced at the girl's corpse, and muttered to himself: "Your mother has been smart for a lifetime, and she has been favored so far, and she has the power to manage the six palaces, but she doesn't want to think about why she is just Concubine Chen, not the queen, who has caused you to kill herself, and also harmed herself." β
"Whose son is that?"
A little eunuch cautiously tentatively said.
Mo Heng snorted coldly and said, "Remember that person, this will offend that person, and a few of you listen well, stay away from Concubine Chen and the third prince, don't say that our family didn't remind you if something happened." β
These little eunuchs are all Mo Heng's henchmen, and they know that this inner palace manager is never without purpose.
A few little eunuchs reluctantly agreed, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
The girl fell in the secluded alley, her green clothes stained with blood, she had just cut off her voice, her eyes were wide open, and she was unwilling.
