Early the next morning, Jinghu asked the old housekeeper Bing Gong to prepare a very heavy gift, and set a carriage to go to Zhaofu.

The old minister did not turn Jinghu out of the gate, but came to the gate to greet him in person with the support of Fu Lao on crutches, and he did not look suspicious at all, but it seemed that the two generals of the Chu Wangfu were very harmonious.

After the greetings, Jinghu went to the West Courtyard to visit Zhaohua who was still lying on the bed under the guidance of Zhaofu Lao, the housekeeper of Zhaofu, Jinghu said a lot of comforting words to Zhaohua, and also apologized on behalf of Zhao Yi as Zhao Yi's elder.

The head of a big family, a general with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, is actually apologizing to a junior.

Zhaohua had been humming loudly, pretending to be miserable, but when he saw Jing Hu like this, he was flustered and almost showed his feet.

Fortunately, Fu Lao on the side was quick and led Jing Hu out of the room in time, so he didn't make a joke.

Just when the old minister and Jinghu were sitting in the hall drinking tea and chatting, Menzi came to report that the old king of Chu was coming.

Not only was the old minister surprised, but even Jinghu was also surprised.

The old minister thought that Jing Hu had invited him to help, thinking that the old king of Chu would be so partial to the Jing family, but Jing Hu was thinking that the old king of Chu was willing to deign to come to Zhao Mansion in person for Zhao Yi.

The old king of Chu obviously knew about Jinghu's coming to Zhaofu, and saw that his subordinates were drinking tea in a friendly manner, and there was no stiff situation, at least on the surface, the stone hanging in the heart of the old king of Chu was put down.

Now is a critical time, the intention of the army of the East Sea King to invade Jiangxia County is already obvious, and it is not yet known what the specific actions of the Rong State, which is like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Chu State at all times.

At this time, what the Chu State needed was unity, not discord or even civil strife.

After the old king of Chu sat down on the throne, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he said: "Old Prime Minister, this king heard that the second prince in the palace was injured, I don't know how the injury was?"

The corner of the old country's Zhaoyong's eyes twitched, and he smiled and arched his hand: "There is a lot of trouble with the prince Lao, although the injury is not light, fortunately, his life is not hindered, and the unfilial son causes me trouble outside all day long, and this time he is injured a little bit to teach him a lesson." ”

The old prime minister paused, put away the smile on his face, and continued: "But if someone deliberately bullies my son and hurts my son like this, then I will ask the prince to make the decision for my son." ”

The old king of Chu smiled and nodded, like a peacemaker, and said: "The second prince was injured in the drunken wind building, this king has also heard about it, after all, it involves the Zhaofu and Jingfu families, one of you is my left hand, the other is my right hand, it is not good to hurt anyone, if the two families have a conflict over this matter, the loss is still the king and me!"

The old minister and Jinghu saw that the old king of Chu said easily, but in essence, they were blaming them for ignoring the safety of Chu because of this trivial matter, and the two of them hurriedly bowed down and said "don't dare".

"Hurry up, you two, this king has no intention of blaming. ”

The old king of Chu leaned forward as he spoke, stretching out his hands to make a posture of support.

After the old minister and Jing Hu got up and sat down, the old king of Chu continued: "Now is an eventful time, and our monarchs and ministers must unite as one!"

The old minister and Jing Hu invariably said "yes".

The old Chu King laughed and continued: "Okay, I won't talk about this, the two of you are the ministers of my Chu State, these truths must be understood, I specially sent a few gifts to the second son today." ”

As the old king of Chu spoke, Du Huangting on the side took a gift box from the hand of an attendant and sent it to the old prime minister.

The old minister took the gift box with an excited face, quickly bowed down, and shouted: "The old minister thanks the prince for his love for the unfilial son, and thanks the prince for his hard work to the old minister." ”

Listening to the voice of the old minister, he actually cried, as if he was grateful for the actions of the old king of Chu and wept bitterly.

The old king of Chu laughed a few times again, "My old minister, don't be so polite, we have known each other for more than 30 years, and it is only natural for me to come to see my nephew." ”

After the old minister said a few words of gratitude again, in front of the old king of Chu, he stretched out his hand and opened the gift box tremblingly, and saw that in addition to a few tonics, there was also a boxing book, his face suddenly changed, and he bowed down and thanked: "The prince is such a big gift, the old minister can't afford it!"

Jing Hu, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, saw the change in the face of the old minister, it was not as fake as before, and he didn't know what treasures the old king of Chu had taken out, which could make the old minister lose his temper so much.

The old king of Chu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a valuable thing, a few supplements for the second son's body, the book "Broken Word Boxing" and the second son's body has recovered, so he will practice hard and strengthen his body." ”

This time it was Jinghu's turn to change color, and it was necessary to know that "the body refines the five elements, and the first practice of the five fists" is talking about martial arts refining the body, and refining is the essence of the five elements of the human body, and there are five corresponding boxing methods: splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and horizontal.

The shape of the so-called split fist resembles an axe, the nature is gold, the shape of the collapse fist is like an arrow, the sex is wood, the shape of the drill fist is like a cone, the sex is water, the shape of the cannon fist is like a cannon, the sex is fire, the shape of the horizontal fist is like a beam, and the sex belongs to the earth.

This is an extremely clever five kinds of body refining methods, and those who cultivate martial arts regard them as treasures, and Yunmeng Pavilion has a rich collection of books and is famous all over the world, but there are not many martial arts cheats of this level in the art department of Yunmeng Pavilion.

The old king of Chu actually gave such a precious "Broken Word Fist" to the second son of Zhaofu, which shows that the old king of Chu was also forced to the extreme.

"The old minister must urge the unfilial son to practice diligently, and never let down the prince's hard work. The old minister wept bitterly again.

After that, the old king of Chu waved away all his subordinates, except for Du Huangting beside him, and the four of them discussed together how to deal with the situation in Jiangxia County and the situation of Rong Kingdom in the north.

It wasn't until noon that the old King of Chu and Jinghu left Zhaofu one after another.

After they all left, the old minister called the housekeeper Fu Lao, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You go and inform them, the mission is canceled." ”

"Old man......"

Fu Lao wanted to say something but was interrupted by the old minister waving his hand, only to see him look up at a peach tree in the courtyard, and said: "The prince doesn't know for what reason, he actually sent such a generous gift to my Zhao Mansion, if I don't know each other again, I will offend the prince." ”

Fu Lao bowed down and said no more.

"You instructed someone to secretly check, this Zhao Yi has no other identity besides being the son-in-law of Jingfu. The old minister commanded again.

"Yes, sir. ”

The old minister kept looking at the peach tree, only to see the green teeth on the branches spitting slightly, and the peach blossoms in full bloom were fragrant and intoxicating.

------

Zuifeng Lou received a generous compensation from Jingfu, so he did not continue to pursue it, and Sun Jingluo, one of the parties involved, also said that he would no longer pursue the matter, and he became a student of Canglang Academy, and no one would trouble him again with this matter.

Junshan City ordered Zhaoming to also revoke the arrest of Zhao Yi.

A storm just subsided.

Zhao Yi returned to Jingfu in the carriage of the palace, and now his identity is very different.

The old housekeeper Bing Gong not only prepared a new courtyard for Zhao Yi to live in, but also the attitude of Zhao Yi in the Jingfu has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

And Jinglan, the eldest lady of Jingfu, usually tries to avoid Zhao Yi as much as possible, but when they meet occasionally, they no longer behave unceremoniously to Zhao Yi as before, but have a calm face, and sometimes there is a little tenderness in a sentence.

This made Zhao Yi puzzled, could it be that after having a marriage contract, this girl's attitude towards him changed?

In fact, Zhao Yi, who returned to Jingfu, was not without distress, this was like a marriage contract that suddenly fell from the sky, which made him at a loss.

Zhao Yi's ears still echoed Lu Qingxin's words all the time, and the short sword she gave him was lying in his arms.

On this day, Zhao Yi got up early in the morning, and after standing in the courtyard for a while, he lost his interest in practicing, so he simply lay on the long stone bench in the courtyard and looked at the sky in a daze.

The morning sky is blue and cloudless, and it is like a wash.

There were a few birds in the trees in the yard, chirping and chirping, very noisy.

Zhao Yi was uneasy, thinking about what had happened in the past few months, as well as the people he had met.

He always felt uneasy in his heart because he couldn't go to Luoyang City to make an appointment, after that day, did Jiang Wenyu take the homeless people to Luoyang City smoothly?

Wei Xiaoyong was left alone to face the gang of robbers, was it life or death?

How are Cui Shusheng and Xilin doing at Tianfu Hall?

Zhao Yi didn't know any of this.

Zhao Yi originally thought that he would go to Wei Xiaoyong when he came out of Tianfutang, and then go to Luoyang City to see Jiang Wenyu and the Lu family's father and daughter, but by chance, he came to Junshan City.

Zhao Yi was most entangled in Lu Qingxin, he took out the short sword from his arms, stared at the word "Ming Snake" engraved on the hilt, and thought about the situation when Lu Qingxin gave him the short sword that day.

Did he like Lu Qingxin? This question suddenly appeared in Zhao Yi's mind, which caught him a little off guard.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of soft footsteps at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Yi hurriedly turned over and sat up, turned his head to look at the door, and saw Jing Song walking slowly towards him.

This is the second time they have met, but their relationship with each other has changed substantially.

Zhao Yi was nervous for no reason, mainly because he didn't know how to call Jing Song, and finally called his eldest brother honestly.

Jing Song nodded at him, which was considered to be an approval.

"This dagger is extraordinary. Jing Song's gaze fell on the short sword in Zhao Yi's hand.

Zhao Yi was flustered for a while, and hurriedly smiled to cover up: "A friend gave it to me, and I'm not familiar with this sword." ”

Jing Song nodded, didn't delve further, but smiled at Zhao Yi rarely, "We'll leave for Jiangxia County tomorrow, you can clean up." ”

Zhao Yi couldn't wait to get out of here quickly, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay." ”

Jing Song smiled and nodded, and said, "Father told you to go to the study to see him later." ”

"Yes, I'll pack up and go. Zhao Yi bowed and replied.

Jing Song, who had already walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned his head and said an inexplicable word to Zhao Yi: "Keep the short sword away, don't let my sister see it, and if you make my sister unhappy, I won't spare you." ”

Zhao Yi stayed in place with a bitter face and didn't move for a long time.

A seven-foot man was as careful as a hair, and Jing Song seemed to see the origin of the short sword, which was a little unusual.

The key thing is that he has not officially become his eldest brother, and he has already assumed the posture of an eldest brother.
