Chapter 128: The Visitor
The small turmoil caused by the competition to recruit relatives spread rapidly in a huge central capital city, and countless versions have evolved.
Of course, the most widely disseminated version is, of course, the gossip news that mankind likes to see the most.
The prince of Yan Wang and the prince of Zhao were jealous of a certain woman and fought on the street.
The protagonist of the story, Wan Yankang, is arranging for a certain woman and her relatives and friends, that is, Yang Tiexin and Guo Jing, to live in an inn that he has set down. Along the way, Wan Yankang didn't talk much about Mu Nianci, but he was very concerned about Yang Tiexin.
Yang Tiexin faced this polite son, and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, but he thought about it, he had never seen this person in his life.
Yang Tiexin looked at Wan Yankang so attentively, thinking that this person probably fell in love with his daughter.
In Yang Tiexin's opinion, the two young people in front of him, according to the rules of recruiting relatives in competitions, can beat Mu Nianci and be enough to be his son-in-law. In terms of martial arts appearance, it is natural that Wanyan Kang is far superior, but in Yang Tie's heart, the honest and honest Guo Jing is a good match for his daughter.
As soon as she entered the Houmen, she was as deep as the sea, and she was the daughter of a family in the rivers and lakes, where could she marry into the family of the emperor's grandson. Most of these sons and daughters are just playing, even if they really fall in love with their daughters, they are at most concubines.
Just looking at Mu Nianci's eyes, Yang Tiexin sighed helplessly in his heart.
As the saying goes, a fair lady is a gentleman.
But most of these fair ladies also like good-looking gentlemen. You don't see, the five elements of pickled girls mentioned by Wang Po, Pan, donkey, Deng, small, and idle, all put Pan An's appearance in the first place, it can be seen that from ancient times to the present, people are all talking about appearance.
Although Guo Jing has the style of a gentleman, he looks stupid and dresses in a rustic manner, compared with Wan Yankang, a beautiful son, one in the sky and the other on the ground.
Since Yan Kang appeared, Mu Nianci's eyes hadn't glanced at Guo Jing's face a few times.
Wan Yankang talked to Yang Tiexin and the three of them, but he was very entangled in his heart, before he met Yang Tiexin, he had thought of countless ways to place Yang Tiexin. After seeing this biological father, he couldn't wait to stay with Yang Tiexin for a while.
The kind of bond that comes from the blood is always churning in his heart.
After settling the three of them, Wan Yankang instructed the inn not to pick up any more guests in the past few days, and greeted the three distinguished guests wholeheartedly. On the one hand, he asked Yang Tiexin and the three of them not to go out at will, because he was afraid that he would be bumped into by the evil young man and his subordinates today and cause trouble again.
When Mu Nianci heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and nodded busily. In her mind, this son was born so handsome, strong in martial arts, and so considerate.
From time to time, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Wan Yankang, her face crimson.
Yang Tiexin looked at his daughter's appearance, and had to agree. He sighed secretly in his heart, if his daughter likes it, he will follow this son as a concubine, and it will not be a good destination.
When Guo Jing learned that Wan Yan Kang was the son of Wan Yan Honglie, the king of Zhao, he began to beat the drum in his heart.
When he went south, Temujin confessed and gave him a chance to kill Yan Honglie. But today he was rescued by Wan Yankang, but now he is going to kill other people's Lao Tzu, in Guo Jing's mind, it is naturally an unrighteous act.
In embarrassment, Guo Jing couldn't say a few words, and finally said: "I can't stay here for long, I have to go to the south." ”
Guo Jing is going to the south to do something, of course Wan Yankang knows it, and he doesn't want these three people to stay in Zhongdu for a long time, after all, there are many dreams at night, and he is afraid that there will be some moths when the time comes.
He patted Guo Jing on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tai, don't worry, I let a few people live here, not to trap a few here, but to avoid the limelight for the time being." After two days, there will be nothing in the city, and if a few people want to leave, I will arrange for someone to send a few people out of the city. ”
When Guo Jing heard this, he relieved himself and thanked Wan Yan Kanglian.
After going back and forth, it was noon, and Wan Yankang arranged a hearty meal at the inn and dined with the three of them. When he was halfway through eating, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the inn, and then saw Yu Wenzhong enter the inn.
Seeing Yu Wenzhong's hurried appearance, Wan Yankang felt a thrill in his heart, could it be that something had happened in the palace, and he hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Yu Wenzhong walked in front of him, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, a distinguished guest has come to the palace, please go back quickly." ”
When Yan Kang heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease, said sorry to Guo Jing and the three of them, and explained that the shopkeeper was good to entertain the three of them, and then rushed back to the palace with Yu Wenzhong.
On the way back to the house, Wan Yankang began to inquire about what distinguished guests came to the house.
Yu Wenzhong said: "There are five or six people in the house, and I don't know what the way is." There was a big monk, and a bald man, who didn't look like a monk, an old man with white hair, and a man who looked like a son. ”
When Yan Kang heard this, he smiled slightly, presumably it was the Venerable Lingzhi, Liang Ziweng and Ouyang Ke who had arrived.
The two rode back to the palace, and the guard at the door said that the prince had already set up a feast in the living room, and Wan Yankang jumped off the horse and hurried to the living room.
When he arrived at the living room, he saw Wan Yan Honglie sitting on the main seat of the long table and greeting several guests.
Wanyan Honglie saw Yan Kang come in, and hurriedly took his hand and said: "Kang'er, you have practiced martial arts since you were a child, and this time for your father, I specially invited a few famous masters to get to know you." ”
Wan Yankang bowed slightly and saluted: "I've seen all the masters." ”
Wanyan Honglie began to introduce them one by one: "This is the Master of Spiritual Wisdom. ”
As soon as Yan Honglie introduced him, the Venerable Master got up and saluted: "The poor monk is wise, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
This person was wearing a big red robe and a golden monk's hat, obviously from Tibet, he was extremely burly, standing up a little taller than Wan Yankang, and sitting on the left head of the chief.
Wan Yankang saw that his voice was like a bell, and his temples were bulging high, even if he didn't know the identity of this person, he could see at a glance that he must be a master, so he also folded his hands and returned the salute.
Wanyan Honglie introduced another person: "This is Shenxian, Mr. Liang Ziweng Liang." ”
Although this man was full of white hair, his face was smooth, without a trace of wrinkles, and he had a crane-haired and childish face, and he sat on the right hand leader.
After Yan Kang saw this person, he saluted first, and then smiled slightly: "Mr. Liang has a skill in staying in Yan, and his internal strength must be extremely profound. ”
Liang Ziweng smiled proudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince has won the award." ”
Wanyan Honglie then introduced the person under Liang Ziweng: "This is the Dragon King of the Ghost Gate, Mr. Shatong Tiansha." ”
Sha Tongtian was bald, his eyes were full of red silk, his eyes were protruding, and his appearance was quite scary, he got up to salute, and his voice was very hoarse.
Wan Yankang knew that Sha Tongtian was also strong in martial arts, so he returned a salute and said for a long time.
Wanyan Honglie took the opportunity to introduce the head of the Shatong world: "This is Mr. Sha's junior brother, Mr. Hou Tonghaihou." ”
Hou Tonghai had three sarcomas on his head, no need to introduce them, Wan Yankang also knew this person, thinking of this person's interesting story, he couldn't help but smile and returned the salute lightly.
"This is Peng Lianhu and Peng Zhai's master." Wanyan Honglie introduced the people of the spiritual wisdom and the head of the people.
Peng Lianhu is not tall, his face is blue, and he looks inconspicuous.
Wan Yan Kang knew that this person's name in the rivers and lakes was called Thousand Hands Man Tu, and the name was not very good, Wan Yan Honglie deliberately concealed it and did not mention it, but this person's kung fu was extraordinary. After listening to Yan Honglie's introduction, he also bowed and said for a long time.
"This is the young owner of White Camel Mountain, Mr. Ouyang Ke." Wanyan Honglie introduced Peng Lianhu's head again.
This person is dressed in white, with a handsome face, and he also holds a fan in his hand in the winter, not dressed like a martial arts person, but like Wan Yankang, like a prince and grandson.
Ouyang Ke was the youngest among all the masters, and Wanyan Honglie thought that he had the worst martial arts, so he ranked him at the bottom of his left hand, and he didn't seem to care. After hearing Yan Honglie introduce himself, Ouyang Ke stood up and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, let's get closer and closer in the future." ”
After finishing Yan Kang, he immediately returned the salute: "Brother Ouyang's family has a strong family history and strong martial arts, and Kang is going to get closer to Brother Ouyang." After speaking, he moved a chair and sat next to Ouyang Ke.
Wanyan Honglie saw that Wanyan Kang was doing this, and thought about it for a while, could it be that this person's martial arts are not the weakest among everyone, but the strongest is not the strongest. Thinking that he might have arranged the wrong seat, he didn't show his face, and continued to greet everyone while ordering his subordinates to serve the food.
When the Venerable Master saw Wan Yan Kang take the initiative to sit next to Ouyang Ke, they only thought that Wan Yan Kang, the son, was just watching Ouyang Ke pretend to be like himself and have a common language, but they didn't think much about it.
During the banquet, Wan Yan Honglie frequently toasted Ouyang Ke in order to make up for the mistake of arranging the seats, and inadvertently, he seemed to be three points warmer than others.
Although Wan Yankang deliberately sat under Ouyang Ke, he took care of everyone very thoughtfully, especially when he communicated with Liang Ziweng, asked him about his skills in residing in Yan, and also cared about whether Liang Ziweng had an entourage and where he lived.
The Master Lingzhi was originally arranged in the first place, thinking that he had the highest martial arts in the audience, but when he knew that King Zhao's father and son did not regard themselves as the protagonists during the banquet, they had some thoughts in their hearts, and suddenly said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, I don't know where you are studying?" ”
Wan Yankang saw that the Venerable Master Lingzhi suddenly asked, and he didn't know what this person meant for a while, so he sloppily said: "I have many masters who have learned martial arts, including General Wu, General Ye, and Aunt Mei...... There are also two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and Kang has been involved. ”
As soon as the Master Lingzhi heard that Yan Kang had many masters, and also practiced Buddhism and Taoism, he suddenly felt in his heart that this prince must have practiced a lot of tricks, and the so-called martial arts were just fists and embroidered legs, so he said in a deep voice: "If His Royal Highness is interested, the poor monk has a big mudra, which is a bit interesting. ”
At this time, the four volumes of Jiuyang Divine Skill have been cultivated, and the twelve canons of the whole body have been opened, although he has not made a move with a master in the past two years, but intuitively, this monk should not be his opponent.
Wan Yankang was not interested in the Venerable Master's big mudras at all, but he couldn't react without any reaction. After Yan Kang thought for a while, he asked: "I heard that there is a Dharma Protector Divine Skill in the Tibetan Temple, called Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, I don't know that the master may teach me?" ”
When the Venerable Master heard this, he didn't know where he heard about the dragon elephant prajna gong, which has been passed down to many people in Tibet, but he thought that his cultivation was too slow, and he happened to have not practiced it, so he could only answer truthfully: "This kung fu has not been learned by poor monks." ”
After Yan Kang sighed, he looked extremely regretful, and then he diverted from the words of the Lingzhi Master's teaching.
Peng Lianhu, Sha Tongtian and the others saw that the Lingzhi Master had touched a soft nail, and said in their hearts that this little prince had never seen everyone's skills, so he had such an attitude.
The two looked at each other, and Sha Tongtian arched his hand to Wanyan Honglie and said: "The prince is so hospitable, I might as well offer two hands of kung fu to help the wine." ”
