Tu Tuo left, Wang Ye Mianyou, Miantong, Yang Jiao, Xiang Jian and Miantong's subordinates were all injured, but they were not worried about their lives, so the palace was spared a catastrophe, and its first credit should be attributed to Zhou Fan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mianxiu was very sad when she saw that the prince was injured, although the princess and maid were taken care of by the princess and maid, she still came to visit him often.

One morning, Mianxiu came to the prince's side and asked with concern:

"Father, are you healed?"

"It's not all good, but it's not a big deal, I've taken the decoction prescribed by Dr. Jiang, and I'll be fine if I recuperate." Hey, by the way, you called Zhou Gongzi, I have something to look for him. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away." Then, Mianxiu walked towards Zhou Fan.

"Zhou Fan, my father is invited," Mianxiu said as soon as they met.

"So early, what's the matter?"

"I don't know. Father just told me to let you go. ”

Zhou Fan tidied up his clothes and left with Mianxiu.

On the way, Mianxiu chatted while walking: "Zhou Fan, for more than a month, you have been practicing in Tutou Mountain outside the city, I really didn't expect your martial arts to progress so fast, so powerful, you can defeat Tutuo and save my palace, its contribution is indispensable, when my father is injured, I want to ask my father to give you a heavy reward." ”

"Princess Xiu, don't say it again, I was just in a hurry, I hit by mistake, and I couldn't defeat Tutuo, not to defeat Tutuo, he Tutuo is afraid of losing face and leaving me, if he continues with me, I may be like everyone else, hurt his fist, it's really dangerous! Don't mention what you don't want to reward. Zhou Fan said.

"Yesterday, it was a coincidence, my Yiguo army was just called by the king of Shang, and there were only a few royal guards left, if my Yiguo army was here, no matter how capable he was, he would not be able to defeat the thousands of troops and horses of my Yiguo." Mianxiu said with her mouth crossed.

"If you are in the army of Yiguo, your father will not let the army go, you should know that the prince has a benevolent heart, he doesn't want to hurt the innocent for the private affairs of the same son, and wants to solve it by the rivers and lakes, if you don't see it, the palace guards will not be on it." Zhou Fan said.

"This is true, the queen mother wants to let go, but the father just refuses, I know this." Mianxiu Road.

"That's right." Zhou Fan said.

As she spoke, Mianxiu remembered one thing, so she smiled and said, "Zhou Fan, you promised me one thing, but you haven't fulfilled it yet?" ”

"What's the matter? Do I have any promises to you? I don't know at all. ”

"Didn't you say that when your injuries heal and your body recovers, teach me martial arts? How did you forget? ”

"By the way, I remembered, I mean we learn martial arts, not teach you martial arts, and you also said to exchange your Mianjia fist with me?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I said that. Then you're not afraid of losing? ”

"What's that, speaking of the gossip that your Mianjia fist was originally based on the gossip of the human emperor Fuxi, the origin is earlier than the five elements and the theory of yin and yang, but the way is different, what is the loss?" Zhou Fan said with a smile.

"For so many years, I didn't know the origin of my family's fist, how did you know?"

"I saw it from the confrontation between your father and Tutuo."

"Then how do you know about gossip?"

Zhou Fan heard her question, his heart perked, this gossip theory was seen from a modern book, but how to say it to her, so he made it up and said: "It was taught by Master Peng Xianzi." ”

"You can really do it, no wonder you can defeat Tutuo."

As they spoke, they unconsciously came to the bedroom of the prince.

"Lord Wang, are you looking for me for something?" Zhou Fan said.

"Zhou Gongzi, you are here, sit down." Wang Ye said.

"Gongzi Zhou, my Mian's four generations have been passed down to a single generation, and my generation is also a single son - Tong'er. This time, thanks to you regardless of the past suspicions, sacrificing your life to save each other, Tong'er was saved from the danger of killing, I see that you are a martial arts talent, and your understanding is extremely high, I want to pass on my family's Mianchen boxing method and Mianjia palm method to you. Then he took out two copies of the cloth with the words and pictures from his secret box.

"Lord, I just made a mistake in a moment and forced Tuo Tuo away, how can I accept this gift, and please think deeply." Zhou Fan thanked him.

"Zhou Fan, you just said that you will switch martial arts with me, I taught you the Mianjia Fist, you taught me the Five Elements Yin and Yang Fist, this time my father officially taught it, but you pretended, you are really a hypocrite." Mianxiu Road.

"Alas, how can you talk like this to Zhou Gongzi? How can you teach me the Mianjia fist to Zhou Gongzi? You and your classmates have just learned the surface of the Mianjia fist. Wang Ye said.

"Father, you are too partial, the child has never seen this cloth." Mianxiu Road.

"This Mianchen boxing method and Mianjia palm method are broad and profound, it's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that Tong'er is too heavy, you are a daughter, you two haven't practiced the basic skills of martial arts, how can I hand over this fist palm cloth to you, wouldn't that harm you? Even my two disciples have not reached the level of cultivating the fist palm cloth, and I have only practiced six of them. This time, I saw that Zhou Gongzi had a very good foundation in martial arts and was completely able to practice the fist palm cloth, so I gave him this cloth. ”

The prince said to Mianxiu, and then turned to Zhou Fan: "Master Zhou, I have been thinking about this for a long time, I am old, no matter how good my life is, there is a limit to human life." I only hope that you will understand the mystery as soon as possible, and you can pass on the Mianchen boxing method and the Mianjia palm and carry it forward. ”

"The prince thinks so highly of me, it's better to be respectful than to obey my fate." Zhou Fan has an indescribable hobby for martial arts since he learned martial arts from Fairy Peng, and after listening to the mysterious description of the Mianjia fist by the prince, his curiosity forced him to take over the cloth.

"That's fine." Wang Ye said. Then he explained some precautions.

Zhou Fan according to the cloth show, diligent and hard-working, a little success, that is, there are some places, he can't understand, he wants to ask the prince, but the prince's injury has not healed, it is inconvenient to disturb.

People's will is changing with the environment is constantly changing, the superior life of the palace, so that Zhou Fan can be fully enjoyed, during this time, he has more contact with Mianxiu, Mianxiu will ask him to teach the five elements of boxing and yin and yang palm, and will look at her family's cloth boxing palm method. You come and go, so as not to breed emotions, Zhou Fan also unconsciously acquiesced to this emotion, Zhou Fan was thinking: "Yi State is a vassal state of the Shang State, if recommended to the Shang King by the prince, maybe you can make a difference and realize the master's will." This is the best reason why Zhou Fan and Mian embroidered well.

In fact, the matter of the fist palm cloth being given to Zhou Fan has long been spread in the palace. "Whoever can get the fist cloth is the prospective son-in-law." This is an open secret of the palace.

Zhou Fan also felt that there were often people in the palace who criticized him and Mianxiu.

After about three months or so, under the treatment of Jiang Yi, Wang Ye Mianyou, Miantong, Yang Jiao, Xiang Jian and Miantong's injuries healed and their bodies recovered. This ushered in the 50th birthday of the prince, and in order to celebrate the birthday of the prince, the palace decided to hold a birthday banquet.

On that day, the palace was full of people, very busy, and in the evening, the lanterns were colorful, lively and extraordinary, and the whole palace was immersed in a sea of joy. Miantong has also become a swaggering gentleman as before, surrounded by several subordinates. Mianxiu was gorgeously dressed and dazzling, and several slaves led by comfrey also wore beautiful clothes, following Mianxiu. Yang Jiao and Xiang Jian also wore son's clothes into the party. Zhou Fan is still wearing the outfit he bought with his sister in the market, which has not changed, but he has not lost his demeanor. Also present were representatives of the Shang kings and princes and ministers.

Since the day when Zhou Fan and Tutuo fought each other, the whole palace has been impressed by Zhou Fan, Mianxiu attaches great importance to Zhou Fan, and Miantong and Zhou Fan's misunderstanding has also disappeared.

Everything is ready. Wang Ye Mianyou was wearing a dress, and first said: "Before my birthday banquet begins, I want to announce a good news to you: I have decided to marry Princess Mianxiu to Zhou Fangongzi, and they will be happy to be ushered in on a certain day." ”

Zhou Fan heard the words of the prince, and immediately stood up and humbly said: "Zhou Moujie grass people, born with a slight birth, how can he be worthy of the embroidered princess who was born precious, golden branches and jade leaves, I really can't accept the prince's kindness, and ask the prince to take back his life!" ”

"Alas, Gongzi Zhou is a master disciple of Fairy Peng, if he becomes my son-in-law, let my family also want to stick to some immortal energy, what is not worthy of this? Besides, Zhou Gongzi is good-looking, a talent, and has contributed to my palace, I will marry the little girl to him, it is also a matter of course, please don't be humble, I think it's decided. Wang Ye said.

At this time, the princess walked over, gently took Zhou Fan's hand and said, "Go and give a salute to the prince!" ”

Zhou Fan stepped forward and bowed to the prince: "Thank you, prince." ”

"Good, good! The birthday feast begins! The prince preached.

Suddenly, ancient music was played. The prince sat on the birthday star seat and accepted the birthday greetings from rows of people. After that, the feast was held, and the wine was drunk.

That night, Zhou Fan was drunk. This is because everyone present at the table regarded him as the quasi-son-in-law of the prince, and they all toasted him, but he had to entertain, and he got drunk.

Soon it was the wedding day of Zhou Fan and Mianxiu.

According to custom, the bridegroom wears a wedding dress and rides a horse to walk around the city, and then welcomes the bride, worships heaven and earth, and enters the cave house.

According to the custom, Zhou Fan wore a big red flower, wore a beautiful wedding dress, rode a jujube red horse, and came to the market under the guise of a distance. Zhou Fan clasped his hands together and bowed to the surroundings. Suddenly, he saw his first love Tao Hua in the crowd, and when he was waving to him, Zhou Fan was shocked: "Why did she come to the Xia Dynasty?" So he couldn't help shouting: "Tao Hua! Tao Hua! ”

As if fascinated, the horse's head unconsciously beckoned to her in the direction of the crowd, and suddenly the crowd dispersed, making way for the outside of the city. In an instant, he rode out of the city.

The people in the market felt inexplicable and confused, and Zhou Fan's groom's entourage also felt a kind of panic. They immediately ran into the palace and shouted, "Lord! Rajah! The bridegroom rode away! ”

Their shout surprised everyone in the palace.

When the prince heard this, he asked, "Didn't the bridegroom go out on a street tour?" How did you run away? ”

The attendant said: "We don't know, he was very good before, walking calmly in the market, and when he arrived at the entrance of the Yi market, he suddenly shouted something 'Tao Hua, Tao Hua' to break through the crowd and run to the south of the city." ”

"And such a thing? Captain Liu! Captain Liu! The prince shouted.

"Here, what does the prince command?" Captain Liu said.

"You immediately call the palace guards and entourage, and quickly chase Zhou Fan back!"

"Yes"

A group of men and horses left the palace and rushed to the south of the city.

After Mianxiu heard this, she didn't know that so many tears were like broken necklaces dripping straight down, and the princess saw her daughter so sad, so she persuaded: "Zhou Fan won't leave, something must have happened to him, and he will come back." ”

"Mother, if he can't come back, what should I do?"

"It's okay, it's going to be fine, don't cry."

At this moment, the prince came, and he saw that they were all there. comforted: "I have sent someone to recover Zhou Fan, it will be fine." ”

"Father, you must call the decisions in this matter."

"I went to Zhou Fan's place to check, and he didn't take my family's fist cloth away, which shows that his departure was completely unintentional, otherwise, he would definitely take it away, so it seems that he will come back."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"How can this be, this stinky boy? I won't let him go. Miantong walked in as he spoke.

When he saw the prince, the princess, and Mianxiu, he said, "Father, do you want to send your subordinates to pick up Captain Liu." ”

"Tong'er, you don't care about this matter, I have my own opinions." With that, he hurried away.

Besides, Zhou Fan ran out of the city all the way non-stop, and he saw Tao Hua walking in front of him, he immediately accelerated and galloped, but he was never able to catch up, and then the horse elephant was frightened and galloped south. He also shouted from time to time: "Tao Hua! Tao Hua! ”。 He occasionally heard Tao Hua's words: "Didn't we agree to get married on October 1 this year!" ”

"How can you leave me like this?"

"You negative person!"

"How can you be worthy of our relationship!

"How to be worthy of your conscience!"

Zhou Fan lost his mind and didn't know how many hours he had run, and he didn't know how many miles he had run.

Captain Liu's Wang Ye Guard also followed closely behind, fiercely chasing.

"Liu Xiao, we can't chase anymore, if we chase again, we will go out of bounds, and to the south is Sanmiao." The defender finally said.

"Yes, if you chase Sanmiao again, Zhou Fan, what's going on? It's like a demon, and a good donkey is inappropriate, and this kind of prank is made. How does it end up calling the prince? ”

"I have brought a few arrows here, so it is better to shoot his horse in the leg with a bow and arrow, so that his horse can no longer run, and then I will catch up."

"You pay attention to this, and you can quickly take the arrow and shoot it in the end!"

Captain Liu let the horse run into the front, he took out his bow and arrows, aimed at Zhou Fan's horse legs, and fired three arrows in a row. I saw Zhou Fan's horse screaming, kneeling on the ground, and throwing Zhou Fan out.

The guards immediately grabbed the reins of the horse, dismounted and looked for the place where Zhou Fan was thrown. The area where Zhou Fan fell happened to be a slope. They went down the slope, did not see Zhou Fan's comprehensive shadow, and then searched carefully, and saw Zhou Fan's groom's hat and some other debris falling on the side of the road, they found a hole, lying next to a stele, engraved with armor: "No cliff hole, the hole is deep and bottomless, if people fall into, there is no return to death, three seedlings"

Captain Liu carefully checked everything around him and said, "Zhou Fan has fallen into the hole, it seems that he is dead and has no return." ”

"Then shall we call someone down to see if he may still be alive in the cave." After that, he did not recognize the words in the stele.

Liu Xiaowei pointed to the inscription and said: "This cave is called the Cliffless Cave, and whoever enters it will die." There is no doubt that he must have fallen to his death in the hole. This is the boundary of Sanmiao, we can't stay for a long time, we can only go back and truthfully show the prince. With that, he took the injured Zhou Fanma and the soldiers away.
