Chapter 16 My Fair Lady and Gentleman
People come to the world crying, struggling naked in their small bodies, stretching their arms and kicking their legs to get rid of the shackles, yearning for a free life is the nature of the soul. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info can also be regarded as unyielding to this world, but it is a pity that they are tightly trapped by the power of the complex rules of the world and cannot get rid of it.
Speaking of which, the rules of the human world are also under the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, and the most fundamental principle is the same, the law of the jungle eats the strong. If you have enough power to break the rules, then the rules will no longer be binding on you.
If you don't have enough power, you can only live under the rules, and over time, you will be assimilated by the power of the rules, and you will habitually follow the rules, taking it for granted. If you have enough power, then your vision and opinion will go beyond the rules and form your own opinions, and as for the things that are within the rules, you will not care anymore. No matter how much the power of the rules is tossed, it will no longer hurt you.
After Rongyue got up in the morning, she asked the maid to lead the way and say hello to the old Guogong and the elders, the Guogong Mansion has the rules of the Guogong Mansion, and Rongyue didn't want to embarrass her parents. The old Guogong Cheng bites Jin and is no longer in court, and the family affairs have also been taught to the eldest son Cheng Tieniu.
Lao Guogong Cheng has been a matchmaker many times in his life, and has fulfilled many outstanding young people, especially capable girls, Lao Cheng likes it very much, and always tries his best to marry his son and nephew. Especially the family of Xue Rengui, the king of Pingxi, Xue Rengui married the princess of Xiliang because of the bad idea given by Cheng Yanjin, and Marshal Fan Lihua and Xue Dingshan were also his matchmakers.
Since Rongyue came to Cheng Mansion, after the old Guogong saw it, he fell in love, this is the granddaughter of his old brother Dadao Wang Junke, although the family is now in decline, the ancestor is also a person who has been a Guogong, and his status is not low, if you really want to count it, it is better than his own family, and he was just a rake seller when he was young.
Especially Rongyue, not only good-looking, according to Jiayu, the martial arts are higher, Wuliuzhuang is a few Rongyue's martial arts, and he is not an opponent at all, even his father Wang Yongan also admires it very much. Cheng Yanjin knows Wang Yongan's ability, and he is also a general known as the enemy of ten thousand people, which shows that Rongyue's martial arts must not be wrong.
The old man has been pondering this for the past two days. Yesterday, two major events occurred in Chang'an City, one was the assassination of the great general Pei Xingjian, and the other was that Xue Gang returned to Beijing to worship his ancestors. Who is Xue Gang? Xue Gang is the third son of Xue Dingshan, a typical pit man, when Xue Gang accidentally killed the prince on the night of the Lantern Festival, he was given to death by Gaozong, and the queen Wu deliberately misinterpreted the holy decree, and more than 100 people in the Pingliang palace dug a big pit in the palace and buried them alive, and Xue Gang escaped alone.
Xue Gang was originally a typical second-generation official, but since he killed his family and lived in the rivers and lakes, he had a very miserable life and suffered bitterness, so he quickly matured and realized that his strength was insufficient, and if he wanted to take revenge, he had to increase his strength in order to overthrow the Wu clan and achieve the goal of revenge.
Xue Gang saw that there were many people who were dissatisfied with the Wu clan's government, especially the Wagang Army, who were close to his father, so he played the family card, although he knew that he was being hunted down by the imperial court, he still ventured into the city to go to the grave, so as to gain a reputation for loyalty and filial piety for himself. It turned out to be discovered. He did it on purpose, think about it, he burned paper again, he cried loudly, and it was difficult for the spies to pretend not to know.
As a result, Xue Gang ran to the old country's house, you say you don't care, right? There is a saying: when the yellow mud falls into the crotch of the pants, it is not but also. You can only hide it first, otherwise, you can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, unless you arrest Xue Gang and hand him over. If this is the case, the Cheng family doesn't have to be a human being.
Lao Guogong waited for Rongyue to ask An to leave, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind, the current situation of the Wang family and the Xue family is similar, Rongyue and Xue Gang are the same age, although Xue Gang is a few years older, it is nothing.
After Cheng Yanjin had breakfast, he went to the back garden, there is a huge rockery in the back garden, the rockery is a tunnel, which can lead to other places, such a tunnel is almost every big family, that is, in case of breaking the house, so as to escape a few children and leave a root for the family.
Xue Gang hid in Cheng's Mansion last night, and now he is still hiding in the tunnel, and he doesn't dare to come out without the orders of the old prince. There are rooms in the tunnels, and there is no shortage of food. I didn't have a good rest all night, I was chased by the officers and soldiers last night, I was familiar with the road, and I ran to the outside of the old Guogong Mansion and came in over the wall, and the pursuers did not dare to chase in. The old man hid himself in this secret passage, and he didn't know what was going on outside.
Hearing that there was movement at the entrance of the tunnel, Xue Gang stood up, tidied up his clothes, and the old housekeeper helped the old man down. Xue Gang hurriedly walked up and helped the old man, "Old ancestor, why are you here?" "You rabbit cub, don't I come to cause such a big disaster? Although the old man is over 80 years old, he is still as loud as a bell and full of momentum.
After the old prince sat down, he said, "Last night, there were assassins in the capital, so your incident didn't cause much trouble, you don't have to worry too much, in a few days, I will send you out of the capital, but, what do you plan to do in the future?" ”。
Xue Gang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man, "I am young and ignorant, I have caused a catastrophe, I and the Wu family's enmity is not shared, I want to contact all forces, overthrow the Wu family, and assist the prince of the Li family to ascend the throne, this revenge will not be avenged, and I will not be a man!" The old man nodded and said: "Si Chen, the world is in turmoil, but the thieves are powerful at the moment, so don't move lightly!" ”。 Xue Gang promised: "Grandson, be careful!" ”。
The old man asked, "Let me ask you, have your parents ever set up a family affair for you?" Xue Gang said, "My parents never told me, so I don't know!" "That is, it is undecided, you have no fixed place to live now, I have an idea", Lao Guogong continued: "My Wagang Army descendants have a back road in Hebei Road, that is, the son of Wang Junke, the big knife Wang Junke, Wang Yongan's hometown of Wuliuzhuang, Qiu County, after Wang Junke committed the crime, we arranged it as a retreat for us, that is, to prevent anyone's house from being raided by the imperial court, there is a place to go!" ”。
Xue Gang knelt down and kowtowed again: "I'm afraid that the owner of the Wang Zhuang will be affected!" The old prince pulled Xue Gang up, "It stands to reason that your father is also standing with us, so it is reasonable for you to take refuge, although Wang Yongan is now the leader of the Northern Green Forest Alliance, but he is older, and his two sons don't want to take over, Wang Yongan asked his eldest son Jiayu to come over this time, just to come and ask me, if there is anyone to be the leader of the Green Forest Alliance, since you want to openly oppose the military, I think it is appropriate for you to take the role of the leader of this alliance, what do you think?" ”。
Xue Gang heard it, this is a good thing, he needs a name now, he used to have a name in Chang'an, it was far from enough, if he went to serve as the leader of the alliance now, it would be easy to recruit troops in the future. "My grandson is willing to go, but I have never met the owner of Wang Zhuang, and I ask my ancestor to introduce me!"
Cheng Biting Jin laughed, "Sure enough, he is a hero out of the youth, Wang Jiayu is in the capital now, when he goes back, I just sent someone to escort you out of the city as soon as possible, and there is a good thing, that Wang Yongan has an only daughter, named Rongyue, who is now in my house, with a long flower and moon appearance, and excellent martial arts, if you can become Wang Yongan's fast son-in-law, he will help you, wouldn't it be better?" ”。
When Xue Gang heard this, he was also very happy, "Ancestor, how should my grandson behave?" Cheng Yanjin touched his one-foot-long beard and said: "According to the old man's experience, such women generally think very highly of themselves, look at men, and like men with ability, just like your mother back then, she took a fancy to your father, as long as you can show extraordinary talent in front of her, she will be tempted." Xue Gang said, "Thank you for your advice!" ”。
Cheng Yanjin said to the old housekeeper: "Go out in a while, you find some suitable armor and clothes for Xue Gang, clean up well, dress up handsomely, and in the mansion at night, I will have a family banquet!" The old housekeeper promised: "Yes, I will prepare when I go back, and let the young masters also participate when the time comes, do you think you should call the young masters of other countries?" Cheng Biting Jin waved his hand, "No, Xue Gang is now wanted by the imperial court, don't ask for trouble!" ”。
The old prince took the old housekeeper away, leaving Xue Gang alone in the tunnel, Xue Gang was overjoyed in his heart, he came to the capital to worship his ancestors, this move is right, as long as he arrives in Hebei, becomes the leader of the Northern Green Forest Alliance, and then contacts all parties against the forces, he can overthrow the Wu family, as the leader, once the prince of the Li family ascends the throne in the future, his benefits are self-evident, at least he will get the position of the prince, when the time comes, the soldiers and horses are in power, people will only remember their anti-Tang achievements, who will remember the matter of exhausting the whole family.
Xue Gang was walking around in the tunnel, wishing that it would be dark soon. Thinking about it again, if you marry Rongyue, it will be even more icing on the cake. "Wang Rongyue is just a country woman who has never seen the world, and she is not ready to catch herself!" , The more Xue Gang thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help laughing, "Haha, hahaha."
Wang Rongyue didn't know that someone was beating his own idea, Ziqiu left in the morning, and he didn't know what was going on until now, but he could get out of his body, and he should be fine. Thinking of this, Rong Yue remembered that when she was out of her body, she was actually looked at by Li Ziqiu, and she couldn't help blushing.
Rongyue took out the Qiankun bag, and took out the treasure knife that Ziqiu gave herself from the inside, this knife is really beautiful, there are seven gems on the scabbard, Rongyue held the handle of the knife, pressed the tense spring, and pulled it out, the knife body above the golden swallow mouth was like a pool of autumn water, Wang Rongyue's divine power urged, the knife body continued to tremble, and it made a buzzing sound, as if it had spirituality.
Rongyue has also practiced the knife method, the ancestral Spring and Autumn Knife method of the Wang family, which is a horse battle knife method, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife is the most powerful, and the Rongyue is now used with the seven-star treasure knife, and it is also a sword light shimmering, opening and closing, and there is a heroic spirit.
The room was too narrow, and after a few strokes of the knife, the Melting Moon Treasure Knife was returned to the sheath, kissed the handle of the knife, and received it in the Qiankun bag. Put the Qiankun bag in his arms and patted it again, with this thing, it's really convenient!
Someone knocked on the door, "Rongyue, let's go to the garden to play!" It is Cheng Huahua's voice, Cheng Huahua is the great-granddaughter of the old Guogong, with a bold personality, and she is very liked by the old Guogong, because he likes to practice martial arts, Guogong also personally instructs, and is good at a Xuanhua axe, of course, the weight of the axe is only one-third of the old Guogong's Xuanhua axe.
After Rongyue came, Cheng Huahua had a playmate, and she pulled Rongyue to play with her all day long, Rongyue also liked this new friend, and there was nothing else to do in the Guogong Mansion.
Rongyue opened the door and let Huahua in, "Huahua, what are you going to play in the garden today?" Cheng Huahua said, "Go see the flowers, my father asked me to entertain you, I can't do nothing, right?" Let's go, let's go". Rongyue was pulled by Cheng Huahua and walked towards the garden.
