Volume 2 The Dragon of the Northland Chapter 42 There are many scenes under the tower
Guo Hong was defenseless, reacted and hurriedly dodged back, but he was also swept a little, and his face was hot and painful.
His heart was on fire, he threw Li Feizhen's advice to the back of his mind, and used all his strength to fight with Shi Zhongqian, not giving in to each other, and the more he fought, the more dangerous it became!
This Shi Zhongqian is worthy of being a master of practicing yoga skills, his hands and legs are like spiritual snakes, which can be twisted at will, and many times the angle of punching is incredible, which makes people unguardable.
But Guo Hong is young after all, his arms are like steel, his internal strength is endless, and he understands the principle of changing skeletal muscles without phase gong, and quickly adapts to the opponent's weird fists, and the offensive gradually increases!
He began to use the Dayu Divine Fist, each punch is from left to right or from top to bottom, the body shape is constantly changing, the action looks very clumsy, but the power is extremely great.
Although Shi Chongqian is experienced, he has never seen this kind of boxing method, so he can only adapt to the situation.
This kind of boxing is contrary to normal boxing, and it can't be judged by common sense at all, which makes him feel indescribably awkward to deal with it.
Guo Hong gained the upper hand, ran the Immortal King Jue, and the giant jump on his left chest was like a drum, and he punched out violently!
Seeing that the other party was coming viciously, Shi Zhongqian hurriedly wrapped his right hand.
He also wanted to use the move just now to fold his arm and fight back, but he didn't expect that this time Guo Hong's strength was amazing, and he directly broke through the middle and hit his chest!
Shi Chongqian's chest shrank back as if there were no bones, and his body twisted a little unbelievably.
Guo Hong only felt that this punch was like hitting cotton, and he was powerless.
He distracted himself and didn't care at all, his right chest jumped again, and he followed up with a punch, and Chongqian once again used his soft strength to resolve it.
But Guo Hong's punch was like a storm, blasting out hundreds of punches, without the slightest intention of stopping, forming a fist shadow between the two!
Although Shi Chongqian received the opponent's fierce blow, it became more and more difficult to continue, and finally he couldn't stand on his feet, and was pushed out several steps before stopping the momentum.
The two gradually fought from the forest to the outside of the forest, and the pedestrians avoided the viciousness of the fist road, and there were also those who liked martial arts to watch and applaud from a distance.
Guo Hong and Cao Shouzhen didn't make a heavy hand just now, and the few subordinates who made Fox Jie who were knocked down all eased up, and seeing that Cao Shouzhen was the only one, they were eager to come up and catch Liu Yanniang!
Zheng Hao hesitated for a moment, and also ordered his men to help.
This time he became more than 20 big men, although Cao Shouzhen had good martial arts, he definitely couldn't stop so many masters from the army, so he had to protect Liu Yanniang and Hongrui and escape from the woods quickly.
Du Mu was secretly anxious when he saw it, and instructed Du Yuanzong: "You go and help!" ”
Du Yuanzong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Want to arrest Mrs. Liu?" "He was the one who followed Du Mu to meet Liu Yanniang privately.
Du Mu said angrily: "What do you want, of course you want to help her escape!" ”
Du Yuanzong was dizzy and walked away, he thought as he walked: Fang is still chasing people, but at this moment he has to help escape, this change is too fast.
Guo Hong and Shi Chongqian were fighting fiercely, and the others walked around for fear of being injured by mistake, and did not dare to enter within three zhang of them.
Cao Shouzhen didn't care about this, and rushed over with Liu Yanniang and Hongrui, and went directly through the center of the fight between the two.
Guo Hong deliberately gave in and let the three of them go, Shi Chongqian didn't want to take advantage of this, so he stopped slightly.
More than 20 people chasing after rushed over, Guo Hong refused to let go, and suddenly a move Qinglong raised his head and hit over, Shi Chongqian was very tacit, and his fists and feet changed, and he and his opponent beat everyone who rushed over.
After such a delay, Cao Shouzhen had already fled into the crowd with Yan Niang and disappeared.
Guo Hong and Shi Chongqian exchanged palms, and then separated.
He looked at the more than 20 people lying on the ground, smiled and said, "How about hitting here today?" ”
Shi Chongqian also nodded and said: "The little donor's martial arts are strong, and the poor monk admires it. ”
Ling Hu shouted in the distance: "Uncle Shi, why did you let this kid go?" ”
Shi Zhongqian sneered and said: "This is a Buddhist resort, the ancestral court of my Faxiang Sect, is it difficult to ask a poor monk to be your accomplice in bullying men and women?" After speaking, the monk turned around and brushed his sleeves and left.
Onlookers all secretly praised this monk for being a high-ranking monk and refusing to help him abuse.
How did they know, Shi Chongqian clenched his fists as he walked, his legs trembled slightly, it turned out that he had already suffered a big loss in the fight just now, and if he continued to fight, he would make a fool of himself in public!
Guo Hong suddenly shouted: "Remember that you owe me thirty yuan in tuition." ”
Shi Chongqian stumbled, limped and didn't leave.
Guo Hong chased Yan Niang in the direction they left, and soon found Cao Shouzhen and Liu Yanniang in a corner.
"Hongrui is lost!" Liu Yanniang was a little anxious.
"You go back directly from the side gate of the west courtyard first, and I'll go find someone." Guo Hong asked Cao Shouzhen to protect Liu Yanniang from Ci'en Temple.
When he saw the two of them go out of the side door, he turned back and looked for Hongrui.
Ling Hu sat on a stone and scolded his subordinates angrily: "It's all a bunch of waste, when I raised you, I said that I was powerful, and now I was beaten down by a child, I was really angry!" ”
One of the guards said: "If you don't invite Jin Wuwei to arrest people, presumably the thieves won't dare to resist!" ”
Ling Hu slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, it would be better if he dared to resist, he could be killed on the spot as a thief!" ”
Zheng Hao came over and persuaded: "It's a little over, it's known by the imperial history, I'm afraid it's not good for Ling Zun!" ”
"What are you afraid of, you didn't deal with the readers, just a young man, the imperial history shouldn't be nosy, after all, they are also very jealous of these rangers."
Zheng Hao felt right when he heard it, so he didn't dissuade him anymore.
Yesterday, the Chang'an Gang suffered heavy casualties in the Xishi Gang fight, the emperor was furious, and many people were implicated, so the imperial historians didn't like chivalrous people and wouldn't stand up for them.
Zheng Hao raised his eyes and saw the honor guard of his wife Princess Wanshou in front of the stage not far away, and it seemed that he had been cleaning up and had not left yet.
He frowned, although this princess was born beautiful, she was still too young, and her arrogant temperament would not be likable, far worse than those concubines in the family.
Maybe we should find a way to teach her a lesson and let her know to respect herself.
Guo Hong searched repeatedly in the crowd, but found no trace of Hongrui.
At this time, Ling Hu Ji and Zheng Hao's entourage had already found Jin Wuwei and began to search everywhere, claiming to be to capture the fugitives!
In the Tang Dynasty, Jin Wuwei generally maintained law and order on the streets, which was equivalent to the police in later generations.
The fangding in the fang belongs to Jin Wuwei, and he can be regarded as a sergeant of the imperial court.
The monastery is generally maintained by the monks themselves, and the fangding and Jin Wuwei will not enter without orders.
The Temple of Mercy and Grace is reluctant to get involved in this kind of thing of catching women in broad daylight, one to disturb the tranquility of Buddhism, and the other to offend believers in front of everyone's eyes, so that everyone is in danger and dare not come to the temple to incense, but one is the son of the scholar and the other is a horse on the spot, neither of which is that the Temple of Mercy and Grace can afford to offend, so he simply pretends to be deaf and dumb and does not know.
At this time, Du Yuanzong had already returned to Du Mu's side, and the surroundings were too chaotic, and he was afraid that his master would lose.
"Yuanzong, how's it going?"
"Lang Jun rest assured, Mrs. Liu has left the temple, but her maid is lost, and the young man who fought with me is looking for it."
At this time, there was a loud sound in the distance, and the two walked along the flow of people, and saw that Jin Wuwei had already grabbed a little maid and dragged her to Ling Hujiao.
Everyone was talking, and a few servants of Ling Fox said loudly: "This is the fugitive slave in my house, don't make a noise!" ”
Zheng Hao hid on the edge of the forest, and the princess seemed to be attracted by the excitement here, and commanded her subordinates to turn around.
And Linghu Gongzi had already gently shook the folding fan and sat on a big stone, and asked with a sneer: "Where is that cheap maid of the Liu family?" ”
Hongrui was tied up strongly, and she was grabbed by her hair and raised her face by Ling Huxuan's men, and she bit her lip without saying a word.
"If you don't say anything, call me until she says it!"
If someone takes a rattan stick, he will begin to torture it.
Du Mu shouted loudly: "Ling Huxuan, you are really lawless, how can you beat other people's slaves and maids with a cane in public?" ”
Ling Hu Jian was not afraid when he saw that it was Du Mu, and said: "Du Wailang, you still don't care about the idle affairs of a certain family, she is a fugitive slave in my house, how can you not discipline her?" ”
"You say it's a fugitive slave, do you have credentials? Robbing people's daughters in the temple and framing other people's slaves indiscriminately is like a robber according to my Tang law, even if your father is a Zhongshu scholar, it is difficult to escape justice! ”
Ling Hu looked around, saw that the faces of the onlookers were not good, and knew that he had committed public anger, so he didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he jumped down from the stone with a smile and said: "The master of this handmaid is indeed a concubine who escaped, so he is in a hurry to pursue it." ”
He explained two more sentences, and ordered Hongrui to be taken to the woods to be tortured and asked for a confession.
At this time, Princess Luan happened to come over, and Du Mu and Ling Hu came forward to salute.
The title of this princess is longevity, and she is still a fifteen-year-old girl, with a high bun, hair like a cloud, with pearls and emeralds, five steps pinned to the cloud bun, and a big red peony in the middle, which looks extraordinarily delicate.
Ling Hu Ji secretly swallowed and spat at the mouth, if this was his wife, he would have been in the palm of his hand a long time ago, where would he have to take care of it like Zheng Hao?
"See the princess."
Princess Wanshou waved her hand and said, "It turned out to be Du Wailang and Linghu's younger brother, and the two of them are exempt from courtesy."
She asked Ling Huxuan again: "Where is your eldest brother?" ”
Ling Hulu is already in his twenties, and he can only nod his head when he is called his younger brother by a fifteen-year-old girl, he is the eldest in the family, and the eldest brother that the princess said is Zheng Hao.
"Originally, they came out together, but they were separated just now in order to chase the fugitive slaves."
"Is your second brother sick? The first few days were fine! ”
Ling Hu Jian knew that the princess was suspicious, so he said: "The princess and the eldest brother are living separately from each other, and some things in the Zheng Mansion will inevitably be delayed, and the second brother has not been very good these days, but he is afraid that his relatives and friends will worry and he will not say it." ”
The place where they spoke was under a stage, which was performing on stage, and the repertoire was "Dial the Head", one of the three major song and dance operas of the Tang Dynasty.
This is a folk song and dance drama introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, telling the story of a man from the Western Regions who was eaten by a tiger, and his son went to the mountains to find his father's corpse and hunt the tiger.
At this time, there was a scream from the woods, and two of the attendants ran over and reported to Ling Hu that Hongrui had made a move.
Ling Huzhu originally wanted to get out when the princess asked about Zheng Hao's whereabouts, but at this time, he took the opportunity to say goodbye and hurriedly entered the woods with his entourage.
Princess Wanshou was a little hesitant, she wanted to watch the play very much, but the little uncle was sick and couldn't go back, and when she saw Du Mu in a hesitation, she asked casually: "Du Wailang, Xiaolang is sick, what should I do?" ”
Du Mu just saw Zheng Hao and Ling Hujiao sneaky, so he guessed that there was a cat among them, and said with a sneer: "I'm afraid that the horse is close to the left, and he sees the princess here, so his brother will be sick." ”
The princess didn't understand at once, but after a while she reacted, and said angrily, "I'm not going back!" Watch the play here today! ”
Seeing this posture, Du Mu knew that the fire was lit, and if he stayed by the side any longer, he might set himself on fire, so he deduced that his wife had injured her ankle just now and had returned home, and he wanted to go back to take care of it, so he got up and said goodbye.
The princess watched Du Mu go away, this person who is known as Bo Xing will love his wife, but her husband tricked himself, thinking about it, he shed tears of grievance, and by the way, even Ling Huxuan, who helped Zheng Hao speak just now, hated it.
Ling Hu entered the woods, which was originally full of people, but because Jin Wuwei wanted to torture the prisoners, the road had been closed, so it was completely different from the noise outside, and it seemed a little quiet.
After walking for dozens of steps, there was no figure, which made Fox Ji puzzled, and turned around and asked, "Where have all the people gone?" ”
He turned his head, only to find that the guard was missing.
Only one of them stood there, looking at him coldly.
"You...... Who are you? Ling Hu Ji reacted, he didn't pay attention to the hurry he left just now, this person is definitely not his entourage!
The other party approached step by step, which made the fox take aback and turn around and run, stumbling into the grass and being knocked on his head.
He felt like he had hit something, and when he got up, he saw that there were many people lying in the grass, and it was his own guards!
Then he suffered a sharp pain in the back of his head, his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground......
Du Mu walked outside the temple, and suddenly found a woman with messy hair, who was Liu Yanniang's maidservant, and walked over.
"How did you escape?"
"I didn't know that a masked man knocked all the guards unconscious and let me out."
Du Mu nodded and said to Du Yuanzong: "You escort her away, and I'll go back to see how the situation is." ”
Seeing that Du Yuanzong refused to leave, he knew that he was not worried about himself, so he shook his head and smiled: "Okay, let's go together, by the way, let's see how Zuo Kui's side is doing, if you sell the flowers, let him give them away, you still follow me." ”
Du Yuanzong nodded, and the three of them left together.
Princess Wanshou was angry, and the people laid out the mat in front of the stage, and the princess sat in the middle, eating snacks and refreshments sent by the temple while watching the play.
The stage staged "Plucking the Head" is also called "Bowl Head", the servant plays the role of a filial son who goes up the mountain to find his father, wearing plain clothes, wearing a cloak with a crying face, and has finished most of the performance, and is about to meet the tiger.
This play was originally a tragedy, but since the Tang Dynasty, it has gradually evolved into a burlesque, and the most famous performer is the famous Lingrong Er of the former dynasty.
Zhang Hu, who wrote "Meng Cairen's Sigh", also has a poem "Rong'er Bowl", which is said to be Rong'er, a teacher in the workshop: "Fight for the golden car and martingale cow, and the laughter is only about a thousand years." In the slot sheep door on both sides, Juxue Rong'er made a bowl. ”
Princess Wanshou was gradually attracted by the performance on stage, she could actually act in this play herself, so the gestures were exactly the same as those on the stage.
The servants stepped down and the tigers played.
The people in the audience were in an uproar, and the people who came up had tiger skins on their heads, but their faces were exposed, it was the Linghu Gongzi who was still showing off his martial arts just now!
Ling Fox was beaten by fat in the forest and limped.
He was already scared, and the demon was watching from the side, so he had to perform as best he could.
Most people in Chang'an can act in this play, but it is the first time for him to go on stage, and in this case, it is inevitable that he will be ridiculous and cause bursts of laughter in the audience.
Then the protagonist who avenged his father came on the stage, and the audience immediately found that he had been replaced, and the new servant was burly, obviously half a head taller than the original.
Originally, both sides had to try their best to perform and make a fighting gesture.
But the new guy actually took a stick and began to beat Ling Fox on stage!
The audience just saw how this Linghu boy was domineering, and at this moment, he let out bursts of applause as he was beaten.
Princess Wanshou also watched it with pleasure, feeling like she was beating the fox with a stick herself!
Jin Wuwei saw that something was wrong and wanted to go up and interfere, but the princess ordered the guards to stop them.
On the stage, the fox made his father cry and call his mother, and Zheng Hao's face in the forest was pale, and he stomped his feet and turned away.
He thought that the princess had discovered his trick and made people beat his brother-in-law, and the more he thought about it on the way, the more angry he became, and he didn't go back to the Pony Mansion, but went directly to his brother.
Soon the eunuchs in the palace reported the news of Zheng Yi's critical illness to the emperor.
The emperor was resting and reading a book in the apse of the Zichen Palace.
The three major halls of Daming Palace are only one in front of the two halls, which can be used for court meetings, only the northernmost Zichen Hall is divided into two front and back, and the back is a place for daily rest.
The emperor listened and asked, "Did the horse report it?" ”
The chamberlain nodded: "Yes, everyone." ”
The inner court of the Tang Dynasty called the emperor everyone, just as the Song Dynasty called it an official family.
The emperor snorted and said, "Has the imperial doctor seen it?" ”
"I've seen it, and I said it was a disease of wind paralysis."
This sick emperor knew very well that several emperors of their Li family had died on it.
"How can you get wind paralysis at such a young age?"
Seeing that the servant didn't know how to answer, the emperor smiled and said, "Go and call the imperial doctor!" ”
After a while, the imperial physician came in, and the emperor asked, "Will people in their twenties get wind paralysis?" How come I've never heard of it? ”
The doctor fell to his knees, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what to do.
The emperor snorted and said, "You want to help others hide it?" ”
The imperial doctor kowtowed and said, "It's the concubine who said so, and the minister can't ......help it."
"So you're faking illness?"
The Imperial Physician nodded.
The emperor waved him out, and asked the attendants, "Do you know why the horses are like this?" ”
"I heard that the princess went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to watch a play."
"That's not going to be it......" The emperor was a little puzzled.
“…… The stage was staged in "Bowl Head", and the tiger that was beaten was Ling Hu Zhongshu's son Ling Hu Xuan, who was said to be really beaten and beaten very badly. ”
The emperor understood, Ling Hulu is Zheng Hao's brother-in-law, is this a family conflict?
Today is Xiu Mu, the emperor originally planned to go out hunting in the afternoon, and he didn't want to be spoiled by the contradiction between his daughter and son-in-law.
"Let the princess quickly enter the palace to see me!"
