Chapter 11: "The Third Brother"
At the dinner table.
Baili Cicada shook his head and said, "I haven't even understood the three tricks that the third brother called me, how can I compare with them." β
Suddenly, Baili Cicada felt a cold killing intent coming from his side, turned his head to look, and found that it was Xu Lao, could it be that Xu Lao wanted to kill himself, after thinking about it, he felt impossible, if he wanted to kill him, he didn't have to wait until now, Baili Cicada was full of puzzlement.
This is, Xu Kong said with a gloomy face, "Shizi, how can you compare what the Third Highness taught with what they have learned, you are insulting the martial arts taught by the Third Highness, how can you be reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that you are the younger brother approved by Your Highness, I would have been beaten to death with one slap right now." After saying that, he still didn't get rid of his hatred, and threw the wine glass in his hand on the deck. His Highness is the existence of a god in his heart, and anyone who dares to blaspheme the gods will be killed...
Baili Cicada didn't expect that the always kind Xu Lao would have such a big temper, and he was really shocked.
Xu Kong boarded the Baili Cicada and said, "In the future, you will be disrespectful to His Highness, hum" The consciousness in it is obvious,
Zhuo Yuanshan hurriedly played a round and said, "Elder Xu, don't blame the prince, after all, the prince doesn't understand what kind of existence His Royal Highness is in the capital, so he would say such things."
Baili Cicada nodded again and again and said, "Old Xu, you forgive the kid this time," after speaking, Xu Kong bowed deeply, Xu Kong did not avoid it, and accepted it calmly,
Xu Kong said, "I took it for His Highness," and then said, "You should know more about it as the younger brother recognized by His Highness, let me tell you, His Highness has been silent and obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, and since he was four years old, he went to the martial arts hall every day to read the classics, but he never practiced, and the time passed unconsciously for six years.
Baili Cicada asked, "Why is that?" You know, King Zhenbei never told him about the royal family.
Xu Kong "hummed" and said, "What the whole world knows, didn't the king of Zhenbei tell you?"
Baili Cicada replied, "Father never told me about the royal family. β
Xu Kong said, "No wonder, if you want to say why you don't want to see the Third Highness, do you know that my Dayong originally had six great families?"
Baili Cicada said, "Six great families?"
"Not bad," Xu Kong continued, "the six great families. Dongfang, Gongsun, Xu, Zhuo, Li. Yun, the biological mother of the Third Highness, the Oriental Family, was punished by the emperor for rebellion, and if it wasn't for Rong Guifei's three highnesses, it would be difficult to escape the killing, this is the reason why the prince does not want to see His Royal Highness,"
Baili Cicada involuntarily asked, "Old Xu, what happened to you?"
Xu Kong seemed to fall into the memory and continued to murmur, "Since the Manchu Dynasty knows both civil and military affairs, the emperor has to ask this third prince who has not seen him a few times from birth to the age of ten, and called him to ask, when it is the council hall, there are many people, hehe, the emperor is not afraid of this in front of the first product, the second grade of the master asked a third prince who was only ten years old, what adverse consequences were caused to it, it can be seen how much the emperor does not care about the feelings of the three princes." β
Baili Cicada listened to it, and suddenly disappeared, and saw Xu Laozheng grinning silently with a gloomy face, and Baili Cicada didn't dare to ask when he saw it, and after a while, Xu Lao's face returned to normal, and then said, "The third prince arrived in the hall but was very indifferent to everyone. , the emperor asked the third prince "Why do you read so many martial arts cheats, you only read but don't practice" The third prince said at the time "Biwu is not my way" After this incident, the three princes became a joke in the capital at that time. But the three princes still went their own way, just watched and didn't practice, and used the exercises and annotations of the martial arts hall for nearly two years to be read by the three princes, and the three princes never left their courtyard for the next year, just looked at the sky in a daze all day long. β
Baili Cicada asked suspiciously, "How do you know so clearly?"
Xu Kong said, "I was originally the general next to Concubine Rong, and then the concubine was implicated and sent to the cold palace, so I followed His Royal Highness, who else do you say knows better than me!"
Zhuo Yuanshan suddenly realized: "I see. All I know is the Chamber duet, and the rest of the story is all hearsay. β
Xu Kong continued, "I remember the beginning of autumn that year, the three princes looked at the sky in a daze as usual, until the branch on the moon suddenly said "I see", and after speaking, he returned to the study and took it for three whole months, and then there was the world-famous martial arts "Eight Methods of Practicing Truth". β
Baili Cicada sighed when he heard it, helpless in the face of the world, the ruthlessness of the royal family, and the worship of the third brother.
Yes, this world is like this, there is no talent for martial arts, even if you are from a good background, it is no different from a passerby, so you can only improve yourself, just like the third brother. I'm still slacking off.,Although it's hard-working, it's too far worse than the third brother.,I'll have to work harder in the future.γγγγ
Baili Cicada asked, "Elder Xu, you continue to talk about what happened later."
Xu Kong smiled and said, "Later, the outside world still used the deeds of His Highness as a joke, and told the story after tea and dinner, until His Highness was nineteen years old, at that time, the capital had the saying of "Four Sects Famous in the World, Seven Towns in the Capital", just like the geniuses in the capital that were said today, the four sects said that the four people who achieved the realm of the great grandmaster forty years ago are the current town kings of the great prince, and there are three people who don't say it,"
Baili Cicada couldn't help but be curious about who the other three were, so he asked, "Old Xu, why aren't the other three?"
Xu Kong said, "Because all three of them are dead, and the dead man says what he does." If you don't want to hear it, don't interrupt if you want to hear it. β
Baili Cicada hurriedly shook his head and said, "Old Xu, you said, don't dare." β
Xu Kong took a sip of wine and said with emotion, "His Royal Highness, who has never been out of the imperial city that day, walked out of the imperial city, and walked through the streets and alleys of the capital in the afterglow of the sunset, the young master of "Four Famous Worlds" died three times and was injured one on that day, and the people who laughed at His Highness were slapped in the face that day, and on that day Rong Guifei, who had been in the cold palace for nineteen years, was released, and on that day, His Royal Highness was famous."
Baili Cicada fidgeted and said to Xu Lao, "You always tell me in detail, isn't this unappetizing?"
Xu Kong drank the wine to himself and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Zhuo Xiaozi was also present that day, let him talk to you." My old man is tired. β
Zhuo Yuanshan heard that Xu Lao let him speak, so he said: That day, I and a few friends went to the Songhe Tower on the edge of the Li River to drink, was drinking, at this moment there was a commotion at the door, I took a look at the original prince in the Songhe Tower banquet three young masters, although I really want to know in the past, but the status gap is too big, so I extinguished this idea and continued to drink and chat, who knows that it will not be a moment and was interrupted by a burst of angry scolding to attract the past, a look, the restaurant guy is blocking the door and not letting people in, I saw the two people who were blocked and not allowed to enter, one old and one young, dressed in ordinary clothes, the son of the world should know that the Songhe Tower is one of the best restaurants in the capital, a meal is at least one hundred taels, and those who can eat and drink here are people with heads and faces, So there was this scene at the door, one had to enter and one was not allowed to enter, and the angry scolding was getting louder and louder, do you know the prince?,,, it just so happened that the owner of this restaurant was the eldest prince, and it happened that the four young masters were all there today, so the four princes went downstairs to see who dared to make trouble in his restaurant, who knew that it was the third highness, and then the eldest prince said very harsh words, "Speaking of this, Zhuo Yuanshan paused, I don't know what to say."
Xu Kong said, "What is not good to say, His Royal Highness doesn't care, when the eldest prince saw His Royal Highness, he said that the third prince lost the face of the royal family and insulted the concubine, and the other three dared to laugh, so the third highness killed them, if it wasn't for a martial saint to stop it, there would be no current town king, that is, the third highness is the grandmaster, and two years later, the martial saint of the Gongsun family was also killed by His Royal Highness." The Great Grandmaster kills the Martial Saint, who can do it today. β
"Afterwards, people learned that the martial arts used to kill the three great masters were the "Eight Methods of Practicing the Truth" created by the Three Highnesses, and the Three Highnesses exchanged the self-created martial arts for the freedom of Concubine Rong, and also made the "Eight Laws of Practice" the most confidential martial arts of the royal family, of course, who the Three Highnesses want to teach the exercises, others have no right to ask, the son of the world, you should know how precious the "Eight Laws of Practice" is, do you still think that you are not as good as the twelve people in the capital?"
Baili Cicada was ashamed, "The main thing is my White Tiger Method, and I can only play one move and four styles after practicing for a long time, so... β
Xu Kong said, "Do you think that anyone can practice the "Eight Methods of Practicing the True Truth"? Do you know that there is no extremely high qualification and talent, even if the exercises are given to you, you will not be able to practice them, and if you practice them forcibly, you will only die, you must know that the little princess Baili Feng has learned two of the eight methods by now, and one move and four styles like you, and she can sit firmly in the top three among the twelve,"
Baili Cicada didn't commit suicide and said, "I can't imagine that the third brother is so amazing, it only took less than seven years to become a great grandmaster, and he also created the "Eight Methods of Practicing the Truth", if only I could achieve the first achievement of the third brother."
Zhuo Yuanshan also said leisurely, "Yes." There are such people in the world, so everyone is a god and a man of God, unparalleled in the world, incomparable!"
The SF Express went upstream, heading towards the capital, with the apprehension and expectation of a hundred miles of cicadas, as well as the heart that became strongerγγγγγ
