32: Closeness
Fang Zhanmei smiled indifferently: "I'm ashamed." Lonely young and knowledgeable, he was not worthy of enjoying the imperial court. But the Son of Heaven was gracious, and he had no choice but to accept it. Ben had the intention to do his best to do things for the imperial court in order to repay the great kindness of the Son of Heaven. It's a pity that the lone talent is not enough to learn, and he can't do anything big. I had to accompany the Son of Heaven to talk to my sister from time to time, and the chat was just to relieve my worries. β
After a pause, Fang Zhan frowned and said with a smile: "Although Lone is in Baiyu Jing, he has heard of Cheng Baihu's great achievements for a long time. Cheng Baihu bravely entered Yongzhou and unearthed the glazed treasures that had been sealed for hundreds of years, but he was not greedy at all, and wanted to contribute all his money to the imperial court, benefit the people of the world, and make the common people enjoy all the benefits. Such acts can be called the birth of Buddhas in all families. Loneliness is really admirable. β
Cheng Li remained silent, shook his head and said, "It's just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning." The little marquis praised it falsely. β
Fang Xiaohou smiled gently: "Cheng Baihu is too polite. I heard my sister say that the Son of Heaven intends to marry Cheng Baihu. Choose from among the princesses of the dynasty to marry. If this matter is done, then Cheng Baihu and Gu will really be a family. It's really gratifying, it's gratifying. Come, Cheng Baihu. For the sake of this great event, let's get close to each other first. β
While speaking, Fang Xiaohou Ye stretched out his hand to Cheng Li with a kind smile on his face.
It was just a seemingly simple action, but in an instant, everyone present was unanimous, and they all felt their hearts beating faster and their throats dry. Subconsciously, everyone's throats slid one after another. His eyes were solemn, and he stared at Fang Xiaohou Ye's hand.
In front of everyone's eyes, I saw that this hand was very well maintained. The fingers are slender, the skin is fair, dry, stable, and looks extremely beautiful. Under the skin of the palm, there is also a faint blood-red color.
There's nothing to fuss about either. White with red is the healthy skin color that normal people should have. If it is really pure and pure without the slightest color of blood, it is pathological.
Cheng Li looked at this hand, smiled slightly, and also stretched out his right hand to approach Fang Xiaohouye. In an instant, the two hands were close to each other, and the five fingers of each other were closed at the same time, and they shook it violently!
"Bang~"
In an instant, Cheng Li's hand turned pitch black, but Fang Xiaohou's hand became as red as blood. Under the hands holding each other, the air that existed in the palms of both sides made a burst and roar on the spot. It's as if Thor is furious and explodes.
The invisible impact then swept in all directions like a storm. The robes of all the people present fluttered and flew at the same time, and they collapsed into a straight piece. The cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks on the table of the Eight Immortals resounded at the same time "jingling~". Even, even the entire Dong Family Restaurant trembled violently with this handshake. It seems to be overwhelmed, and it will collapse at any time.
Fortunately. As soon as the two sides shook hands, they did not continue to pressurize. The two sides let go of each other, and then each took a step back, standing like a mountain. The two hands, which had become pitch black and blood-red, quickly returned to normal, and there was no change at all.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Li took the lead in smiling and said, "Little Hou Ye, you are very good, very good." β
Fang Xiaohou took a few deep breaths, and also smiled, and said, "Offer ugliness and ugliness, see and laugh." Cheng Baihu, sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame. The frog at the bottom of the well is a blessing to finally be able to see the real masters of the world today. I had the heart to continue to be close to Cheng Baihu, but unfortunately there were still some mundane things that had not been dealt with on Lonely, so I had to lose my company first. β
Cheng Li nodded: "Okay." Then next time we have a chance, it's not too late for us to drink together. As for these people...... "casually waved his hand at the four great sword kings who were lying on the ground motionless. The jet-black knives that were originally stabbed on their dantian disappeared immediately. Cheng Li continued: "Let's take them all away." β
Fang Xiaohou Ye was slightly stunned, looked back and glanced at the four sword kings on the ground, and said in surprise: "They are not dead?"
Cheng Li said lightly: "Tanhua flying knife, the example is not in vain. Everyone in the world knows this sentence. But few people know that back then, the sword saint often came out to save people. The case of stabbing simply for the sake of killing has only happened a few times in his life. β
Fang Xiaohou sighed: "I see. The style of the predecessors, thinking about it can't help but teach people to be leisurely and fascinated. In this way, the four of them are really not qualified to die by your sword. Then, Lone will replace them and thank the process for the grace of not killing hundreds of households. β
Cheng Li smiled: "It's easy to say." Little Marquis, please. β
Fang Xiaohou also smiled: "Please." I have a hunch that maybe soon, we can meet again. Then he helped Yan Dongge, who was on the ground, and said warmly: "Brother Dongge, let's go." β
Yan Dongge's face was like earth, he nodded weakly, and let Fang Xiaohou Ye help him out of the private room, and then left along the stairs. At the same time, the scholar of the storm came in with a few men dressed as family members, and instead of the previous arrogant appearance of being lazy and not caring about anything, he nodded to everyone in the private room again and again, and then lifted the unconscious four sword kings and left.
The outsiders all left. Water Dragon Yin and Autumn Night Rain, Wu Laozhai Lord and Zhou City Lord, as well as Shi Zhendong Zhou Lenglong and others, only then did they breathe a long sigh of relief. The water dragon said in a condensed voice: "What a powerful 'cinnabar palm' kung fu." Gone, we're all gone. It turns out that this little marquis is still a hidden master. β
The old village master Wu muttered: "The name of cinnabar palm, although everyone knows it. In fact, the secret of practicing this kind of palm power has long been lost. In the past thirty or forty years, I have never heard of any masters practicing cinnabar palms in the rivers and lakes.
When the old man was young, he heard of an underworld master nicknamed 'Blood Palm Soul Chasing', who became famous by cultivating cinnabar palms. But he's been dead for a long time, and he's never heard of him having a descendant. Fang Xiaohou Ye was actually able to refine the cinnabar palm? β
Shi Zhendong is a ** lake. Of course, I also know a lot of similar martial arts stories. He couldn't help but comment: "Most people know that people who practice cinnabar palms will have red hands, which is a very prominent feature. In fact, this is only true for those who are new to this skill.
When the kung fu of cinnabar palm is practiced to perfection, it will return to the basics. Normally, the color of a cultivator's hands is no different from that of ordinary people. Only when the luck is strong, will it turn vermilion. From this point of view, Fang Xiaohou's cinnabar palm has obviously reached its peak. It's amazing to have such attainments at such a young age. β
Cheng Li was thoughtful, and for a while, he didn't speak. Because he always felt that the kung fu that Fang Xiaohou Ye showed just now was not necessarily a cinnabar palm. It's probably more powerful, more advanced kung fu. But what exactly...... Cheng Li couldn't say it again. After all, he is not a martial artist, and what flows in his body is "robbery power", not internal strength and true qi. Regarding the details of the operation of True Qi, Cheng Li could not tell.
But forget it. Whether or not what Fang Xiaohou is practicing is cinnabar palm, this kind of question is actually not a big deal. What really matters is where he stands. Cheng Li had a hunch. If this little marquis is against him, then he must be a very terrible enemy.
Cheng Li shook his head and asked, "What." This Fang Xiaohou knows martial arts, and even you don't know it?"
Shui Long Yin shook his head and said, "In my memory, Fang Xiaohou Ye showed his martial arts skills in public, and this is the first time. But that's not a big deal. As far as I know, this little marquis is not very close to scholars on weekdays, but is closer to military attachΓ©s. And in his Hou Mansion, there are really several masters enshrined. It's no surprise that he'll learn some real skills. β
Zhou Lenglong smiled again: "By the way, just now Fang Xiaohou said that the Son of Heaven intends to marry a princess for Cheng Baihu? Come on, let's all salute Cheng Baihu with a cup, and wish Cheng Baihu a proud spring breeze and a long journey. β
When they heard this, they all applauded. At that moment, they raised their wine glasses and toasted Cheng Li again. But he left all the small accidents just now. The night was staggered, and the guests and hosts were happy. It was not until late in the evening that everyone dispersed and went home.
Although Cheng Li also drank a lot of wine, with his fourth awakening robber's physique, it was not that he was not drunk with a thousand cups, but he was simply not drunk with a thousand catties. Therefore, when he stepped out of the restaurant, Cheng Li's footsteps were still steady. But it is by no means like a water dragon, it is already floating, and it seems that it can't even stand on its feet.
Look at the head of the water stall, of course you can't ride a horse anymore. Luckily, the restaurant always has horse-drawn carriages that are used to take drunk guests home. Call the carriage at the moment, and send the water dragon into the carriage first. Qiu Yeyu and Xiao Jianshi also got on the bus. But when it was Cheng Li's turn, his heart suddenly moved, and he subconsciously turned around and looked diagonally opposite Dongjia Restaurant, another three-story building.
The building looks like a rice shop. But the building was dark and dreary, and there was not the slightest light. Obviously, the owner of the rice shop has already rested. But Cheng Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
The autumn night rain in the carriage waited for a long time, but I couldn't wait for Cheng Li to get on the train. I can't help but feel a little strange. urged: "Cheng Shao, what are you doing outside, don't you get in the car yet?"
Cheng Li put away his smile and promised, "It's nothing, it's here." Without hesitation, he turned around and got into the carriage. The coachman shouted, raised his whip and shook the whip, drove the horse, and pulled the cart to set off.
The lanterns hanging from the carriage swayed as the carriage went, creating a faint band of light in the darkness. After a long time, this belt of light has been completely hidden in the darkness, and Fang Xiaohou, who was standing on top of the rice shop building, sighed lightly and withdrew his gaze, and said lightly to a figure beside him: "Cheng Li has found it." We couldn't hide it from him after all. β
