Chapter 38: The Competition

"Big brother, this is your home? Well, yes, it is worthy of the thunderbolt of the sea, the house where he lives is really extraordinary, and he can feel a murderous aura rushing into the sky from afar, who else can live here, except for the pillar general of the country? Wu Yuanming pointed to the common mansion of Shi Lang's family in Beijing and praised it, complimenting him as if the Forbidden City did not have Shi Lang's beautiful style. And Shi Lang didn't want to deal with him at all, so he just went to pick up Yao Qisheng and got out of the car in person, "Teacher, the road is slippery, please be careful." ”

"Master Hou, now that the old name Hanako has come with you, does anyone want to see me? Or does someone want you to say something to me? Hou Ye can tell the old man to call Hanako, right? Yao Qisheng asked Shi Lang yin. Shi Lang was taken aback, and said in his heart that he still hadn't hidden the eyes of this bad old man, but what Shi Lang didn't know was that Wu Yuanming had already guessed that Shi Lang must have other plans for inviting Yao Qisheng here, so Wu Yuanming would follow with a dead face, just to see what tricks Shi Lang played.

"This, this, teacher...... I....... Shi Lang's intentions were seen through by Yao Qisheng, and he couldn't say a complete sentence, Yao Qisheng didn't want to embarrass him, and sneered: "Forget it, I always tell Hanako to know that you are embarrassed, go in." With that, Yao Qisheng picked up Wu Yuanming and Huangfu Baozhu and strode into Shi Lang's house, Shi Lang hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way and led them all the way into the lobby of the living room. At this moment, a long mahogany table full of wine and food has already been set up in the lobby of Shi Lang's mansion, and there are already two people sitting next to the long table, and the other two people behind them are playing with Shi Lang's four children, seeing Shi Lang and others coming in, those people turned around and touched Wu Yuanming's eyes, Wu Yuanming was both a little surprised and not very strange, and said calmly: "It turned out to be you." ”

It turned out that what appeared in the hall of Shi Lang's house was the pockmarked Kangxi and Wu Ciyou with a whip wound on his face, Su Malagu and another thin obscene old man, although Wu Yuanming had not seen the old man, he immediately guessed that he should be Hu Gongshan, who was known as the second master in the world - after all, Wu Yuanming had the Huangfu Baozhu by his side, and Kangxi was also afraid that Wu Yuanming would take risks. Kangxi, Wu Ciyou and others didn't expect that Wu Yuanming would follow Shi Lang's house in vain, ready to dig a corner and meet the main owner, but they didn't know what to say for a while.

"Little brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, is the injury on your face healed?" Wu Yuanming is the best at this kind of scene, and knows that once Kangxi's identity as the emperor is confirmed, he will be held accountable for beating the emperor that day, so Wu Yuanming went up first and greeted warmly: "That day, the master was a little heavier, are you okay with your injuries?" Haha, is this still going to pretend to be the emperor? ”

"Shizi, he is ......." Shi Lang was taken aback, and just when he wanted to remind Wu Yuanming, Kangxi preemptively said: "General Shi, don't blame, this Wu Shizi once had a relationship with Dehai in Xialong, and there were some small misunderstandings, but it was an unintentional mistake, let's just pass, let's intersect on an equal footing today." Fellowship equally, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, fellowship equally." After all these years of training in Beijing, Shi Lang has become much more obedient, and when he saw Kangxi hinting that his identity should not be exposed, he also used a pseudonym, and immediately beat the snake with a stick. But Shi Lang was still very surprised, listening to the tone, Wu Yuanming seemed to have beaten Kangxi, why didn't Kangxi settle accounts with Wu Yuanming? What Shi Lang didn't know was that in fact, Kangxi was extremely angry at the moment, after he was beaten by Wu Yuanming that day, he wanted to send someone to break Wu Yuanming's body into pieces, but the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang insisted that he was not allowed to do this, and forced him not to retaliate against Wu Yuanming, so Kangxi had to temporarily give in to Wu Yuanming.

"Xiao Mazi, it turns out that you want to dig the corner of Lao Tzu's wall. No, I can't stay here for a long time, Old Man Yao doesn't have the iron heart to help me now, and he is a person with big ambitions, so he may be pulled away. Wu Yuanming muttered in his heart, and then turned to Wu Ciyou to greet him: "Mr. Wu, no wonder Xiangye Ao has never been able to catch you, the court criminal, last time it was Lord Suo Etuso, this time it was General Shi Langshi, hehe, it turns out that there are so many court officials protecting you." ”

"What? Imperial court prisoners? Shi Lang was taken aback again, and Wu Ciyou said with a smile: "The prince has recognized the wrong person, it is not Wu Ciyou who is guilty of the imperial court, but Zhong Yujun of Jiangnan, today we are meeting for the first time, the first time we meet." ”

"Zhong Yujun? What does it mean to be loyal to the monarch? Good name! Hehe, it seems that I did recognize the wrong person. Wu Yuanming laughed and clasped his fists and saluted, but scolded secretly in his heart: "Sycophant! And Kangxi and Wu Ciyou and others didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Yuanming, who was oily and smooth, and several pairs of eyes turned to Yao Qisheng and Huangfu Baozhu, unlike Wu Yuanming, who was full of ruffianism, Huangfu Baozhu's face was like a rock, and his martial arts were extraordinary; Yao Qisheng, who had changed into a brand-new Confucian shirt, was in good spirits, and his face was full of red light, which made Kangxi and Wu Ciyou secretly praise in their hearts.

"Big brother, these should be Ling Gongzi, right?" Wu Yuanming didn't bother to pay attention to Kangxi and Wu Ciyou, and only looked at Shi Lang's four sons with a pair of eyes. Among Shi Lang's four sons, three of them were handsome and handsome by Kangxi, Wu Ciyou and Su Malagu respectively, and only one of the eleven or two-year-old thin boys cowered and stood aside and no one cared about, unlike his three brothers, Shi Lang's son was born with slanted eyes and lameness, and his appearance was extremely ugly, which was very unpleasant.

"It should be him." Wu Yuanming smiled secretly in his heart, grabbed him in the past, and laughed: "Good nephew, come and let Uncle Wu hug you." As he spoke, Wu Yuanming took out a handful of golden melon seeds from his arms, stuffed them into the child's hand, and said with a smile: "Good nephew, this is a meeting gift from your uncle, take it to buy sugar gourds to eat." The kid was very polite, he didn't dare to accept people's gifts casually, he first looked at Shi Lang's expression, and didn't accept it until Shi Lang nodded, "Thank you uncle for the reward." ”

"It's so good, it's so cute, it's so cute." Wu Yuanming laughed and picked up the child, looking extremely intimate, while Wu Ciyou, Su Malagu and others next to him almost didn't laugh out loud, and said in their hearts, what kind of eyes does this little traitor have? Shi Lang mistakenly thought that Wu Yuanming was talking back, deliberately sarcastically mocking his son for being ugly, and his heart suddenly became angry, but Wu Yuanming's next words made Shi Lang stand on the spot. Wu Yuanming hugged the boy and said to Yao Qisheng: "Father-in-law, I think this child is good-looking, and he will definitely not be a mortal thing in the future, I want to ask my father-in-law to accept him as a student and teach him how to teach him personally?" ”

"This ......." Yao Qisheng was also confused by Wu Yuanming, and said in his heart What kind of reputation is this little traitor? Even if you want to take me as an apprentice, you don't need to deliberately pick this child with slanted eyes and lame legs, right? And Shi Lang was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Yao Qisheng and said: "Teacher, please accept the dog, it's not a student's boast, among the four sons of the student, although Shi Shilun is ugly and disabled this time, his knowledge and talent are the first of all the sons, and he will definitely not spoil the teacher's style." ”

"yes, yes." Wu Yuanming hit the railway while it was hot: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the child is willing to use the head guarantee on the item, Shi Shilun, the child will definitely get ahead in the future, father-in-law, you will definitely not suffer a loss if you accept this student." ”

"Well, well." Yao Qisheng saw that Wu Yuanming was glaring at him, and he was squeezed to this point, so he had to nod and agree to accept the apprentice. Shi Shilun was really smart, and without waiting for Shi Lang's guidance, he broke free from Wu Yuanming's embrace, knelt down on his knees in front of Yao Qisheng and kowtowed: "Student Shi Shilun, knock on Teacher Yao." Shi Shilun, who has a big heart, knew that Yao Qisheng did not accept him as a disciple out of sincerity, so he recited without raising his head: "The master crosses the sea and listens to the pillow." At this time, the dream returned to Yinhan, and the moon of a thousand peaks was lonely ....... Shi Shilun only memorized a few sentences, and Yao Qisheng opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "I made this poem, how do you know?" ”

"Students return to the teacher, and students don't just recite the teacher's poem." Shi Shilun raised his ugly face and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "There are one hundred and ninety-two poems made by the teacher, and the students can memorize all of them." ”

"Haha, it's really a genius, a good student." Yao Qisheng was surprised and delighted, pulled Shi Shilun up and took him into his arms, touched his head and laughed: "Okay, good, since Yao Qisheng accepted you as a student, he will definitely teach you everything he has learned in his life." Next to Wu Yuanming and Shi Lang were also smiling, Kangxi, Wu Ciyou, Su Malagu and others had a big change in their faces, just now they just thought that Shi Lang's other sons were born beautiful and cute, so they were close to them, but they didn't expect Shi Lang's most talented son to be an ugly son who was not favored by them, and they had lost a lot to Wu Yuanming in terms of knowing people.

"Raise the master to cross the sea and listen to the waves on the pillow." Wu Ciyouxin said that it would be easy for you Lao Yao to make poems, and pretended to be tasteful: "Although the poem is too murderous, it is also a good poem." I didn't expect Mr. Qisheng to be old, but he still had such pride. ”

"Of course, who is my father-in-law? How can it be compared to those hypocrites who can only chant poems and make fu, wind and snow, and have a human face and a beast's heart? Wu Yuanming said. Wu Ciyou heard that Wu Yuanming was sarcastic about him, raised his slender eyebrows, and said coldly: "Since Wu Shizi said so, he must have a deep knowledge of poetry and literature, Wu is not talented, can you ask Wu Shizi for advice?" ”

There is a good saying, there is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. In this era, the literati are even more proud of their poetry, and the literati have to make a few sour poems when they meet, Wu Ciyou is using this to frustrate Shang Zhili and Geng Xinghe with poetry, so that the two of them are prostrate at the feet of Kangxi, today Wu Ciyou also wants to concoct the same method, and use poetry to shock Yao Qisheng, but I didn't expect Wu Yuanming to jump out first, Wu Ciyou wanted to use poetry to teach Wu Yuanming a lesson first. But Wu Yuanming knew what poetry and songs, but Wu Yuanming didn't want to bow his head to this hypocrite, so he shook his head with a blink of his eyes and said: "Mr. Zhong is bad, if Mr. Zhong wants to ask this son for advice on weekdays, then the son of the world will definitely give you a few words, but today in General Shi's house it can't be compared." ”

"Dare to ask the prince, why can't you compare in General Shi's house?" Wu Ciyou had already come up with seventeen or eight sour poems and was about to teach Wu Yuanming a lesson, so he was willing to stop and asked with a sneer: "Could it be that the prince doesn't know anything about poetry and is afraid of Zhong?" ”

"What kind of person is this son, how can he be afraid of you, a small people?" Wu Yuanming snorted, raised his head and said, "Zhong Yujun, do you want to think about this and where?" This is General Shi Langshi's mansion, who is General Shi? General! Since ancient times, civil and military have not been in the same ranks, and fighting in the general's house, isn't that disrespectful to General Shi Lang? Speaking of this, Wu Yuanming smiled again: "Of course, if Mr. Zhong wants to fight with this son, then this son must accompany him, or no longer make a life and death document, how about each carrying a knife to the courtyard to compete?" This is not only a respect for the master, but also can ask General Shi to make a notarization, Mr. Zhong, are you willing to test your martial arts with this son? ”

"This ...... Zhong is a weak scholar and is not good at martial arts, so there is no need to compare this, let's "Wu Ciyou replied with a bitter face - Wu Ciyou didn't want to be hacked to death by Wu Yuanming on the spot, Wu Yuanming shook his head triumphantly and said: "No, if you want to compare, you will compete in martial arts." ”

"A competition is a competition." Kangxi also refused to lose to Wu Yuanming, and the corner of his eye picked Hu Gongshan, Hu Gongshan understood, stood up and said to Wu Yuanming: "Since the prince likes martial arts, then Hu is not talented, and he is willing to make a few moves with the prince, is the prince willing to point out Hu Gongshan's martial arts?" ”

"This ......." Wu Yuanming had the courage to compete with Hu Gongshan, who was known as the second in the world's martial arts-Hu Gongshan could pinch him to death with one finger, but Wu Yuanming had already said it there just now, and he also found an excuse to refuse for a while. At this time, the Huangfu Baozhu beside Wu Yuanming stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Son, the last general is willing to guide Imperial Doctor Hu on your behalf." ”

"Okay." Kangxi said: "I have heard for a long time that General Huangfu is the third in the world's martial arts, and Imperial Doctor Hu is the second in the world's martial arts. Saying that, Kangxi glanced at Hu Gongshan again, signaling him not to be merciful.

"It's not right, it's still not right." Wu Yuanming stopped the Huangfu Baozhu who was eager to try, Wu Yuanming now relied on the protection of the Huangfu Baozhu, so he dared to let this tiger general risk his life. Over there, Hu Gongshan took a step closer and said loudly: "The prince doesn't dare to compare the text, the excuse is that he is in the family of the general, and he can only compete in martial arts, but now Hu is willing to compete with the son, why does the prince say that it is inappropriate?" Could it be that the prince of the world is not a martial artist, it is a ...... Hum. ”

"It's a shit, isn't it?" Wu Yuanming finished speaking for Hu Gongshan, and Hu Gongshan sneered and was silent, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence. Wu Yuanming was angry in his heart, and wanted to admit defeat to this traitor, but when his eyes rolled, he was a trick again. Wu Yuanming smiled and said: "Imperial Doctor Hu, this son of the world is reluctant to compete with you because you are a imperial doctor, and you will not win martial arts if you compete with you." In this way, there are a lot of people in this world, let you take one step, how about testing your best medical skills? ”

"Hahahaha......." Before Wu Yuanming's words fell, Kangxi, Wu Ciyou, Su Malagu and others had already laughed, and Su Malagu sneered: "Test medical skills? Su Ma Ke wants to remind the prince that Imperial Physician Hu is only extraordinary in martial arts, and his medical skills are even more unparalleled in the world, but now he is the deputy doctor of Tai Hospital, you compete with him in medical skills, isn't that an axe in the class? ”

"That's not necessarily, the best in the world? In my opinion, it's just a big statement. Wu Yuanming sneered: "Imperial Doctor Hu, you don't have to puff out your eyes, this son asks you a very simple medical question, as long as you can answer it, this son will admit that your medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and admit defeat." ”

"Shizi, excuse me." Hu Gongshan replied in a gloomy voice. Hu Gongshan knew that the medical questions asked by Wu Yuanming would definitely not be simple, and they must be extremely tricky and remote, but Hu Gongshan had been studying medical books since he was a child, from "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" to "Compendium of Materia Medica", and he naturally did not pay attention to the medical questions asked by Wu Yuanming, a layman in the apricot forest.

"Listen up, it's a simple question." Wu Yuanming said with a smile: "May I ask Imperial Doctor Hu, how many pairs of chromosomes are in the nucleus of human cells?" ”
