Chapter 31: The Liu Twins
In the garden, lotus flowers bloom and willow branches hang low. Yang Ying walked into the back garden of Liu's Mansion and smelled a refreshing lotus fragrance, and suddenly felt comfortable. Looking up, a man and a woman sat opposite each other in the pavilion, and a chessboard was placed in the middle, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were black and white.
Liu Xuan whispered: "This is my eldest son and his wife Zhang Rouyan. ”
Approaching, I saw the appearance of the two clearly, they were really talented and beautiful, the man was gentle and elegant, and the woman was gentle and lovely.
Hearing the footsteps of Yang Ying and Liu Xuan, the two put away their contemplation, hurriedly saluted, and respectfully praised: "Father"
Then Liu Chongwen looked at Yang Ying, with black and vertical hair, oblique and straight sword eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, angular outline, slender and tall but not rough figure, and couldn't help but say: "Who is this son?" ”
Liu Xuan wanted to introduce, but Yang Ying took the lead, "Under Yang Ying, I came to visit Liu Lao"
Liu Chongwen glanced at it, and knew that the identity of the person who came was noble, and his father had never known how to cling to the powerful, but when he came in today, he was one step behind the person who came, and his expression was respectful, you must know that the envoy sent by Du Fuwei was respectful and respectful when he came to see his father, but his father never gave him a good look. The only people who can make my father respectful are the people of Da Sui.
Thinking about this clearly, Yang Ying's identity can be guessed a few points, Liu Chongwen glanced at his wife, he and his wife have a tacit understanding, Zhang Rouyan saluted Liu Xuan and Yang Ying, "Dad, Yang Gongzi, the concubine will not disturb you to talk about things." ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately retired, leaving three people behind.
Yang Ying and Liu Chongwen looked at each other, Liu Xuan saw his son like this, and hurriedly glanced at Liu Chongwen, Liu Chongwen didn't seem to see it, he still looked at Yang Ying, and he didn't show respect.
Looking at each other for a moment, Liu Xuan really couldn't help it, his eldest son has always been humble and polite to people, but he didn't expect to be so rude in the face of the emperor, he couldn't help but pull Liu Chongwen's sleeve, and scolded Liu Chongwen slightly: "Chongwen, don't be rude, I haven't seen the emperor yet"
Liu Chongwen's face did not change much, but he bowed his waist slightly and hugged his fists, which further highlighted his humility and arrogance.
"Brother Liu knows what I mean." Yang Ying is not dissatisfied with Liu Chongwen's behavior, as long as he has talent, it is understandable that he has some arrogance.
Liu Chongwen hesitated, "I have been paying attention to the news in Chang'an because of my father's relationship, and I suddenly found that Your Majesty's style of doing things changed suddenly a few months ago, and Your Majesty always acted ...... before Hehe" said that he felt that he had asked a little too much, and then chuckled to cover it up.
Yang Ying also understood the meaning of Liu Chongwen's words, and explained: "Alas, don't hide it from Brother Liu, I escaped from the Jiangdu Palace, since I knew Yu Culture and had a heart of disobedience, I also repented and realized all kinds of mistakes in the past, so this time I specially came to ask Liu Lao to assist me and regain control of the Great Sui River."
Liu Chongwen frowned after hearing this, did not answer immediately, looked at his father, and Liu Xuan also nodded, which can be regarded as proof of Yang Ying's words.
Yang Ying continued: "After all, I have done too many ridiculous things before, and it is understandable that Brother Chongwen doesn't believe it, and I don't want to let Brother Chongwen agree now, I will also live in Yancheng for a while, and then Brother Chongwen will decide to stay." ”
Liu Chongwen was obviously very satisfied with Yang Ying's words, and a friendly smile appeared on his elegant face, "Thank you for your understanding"
"Well, since Brother Chongwen agreed, let's go see Brother Chongwu again!"
Hearing Yang Ying talk about Liu Chongwu, Liu Chongwen couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Majesty, don't blame him for his reckless behavior when you meet my martial idiot brother later." ”
"Oh" Yang Ying was a little puzzled by Liu Chongwen's words.
Liu Xuan asked, "Chongwen, where is your brother Chongwu?"
"Hehe, that stinky boy in Chongwu is naturally in the martial arts arena, and he won't go anywhere except that." Liu Chongwen replied with a chuckle.
Yang Ying also guessed that the two brothers had a good relationship with Liu Chongwen after listening to Liu Chongwen's words, and they were also martial arts idiots, so he said with a smile: "Don't tell me my identity when the meeting comes, I'll try my skills with him."
Liu Xuan heard that Yang Ying was going to compete with his son, and hurriedly stopped: "The emperor can't help it, Chongwu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he doesn't know the severity of the fight, if he hurts the emperor, Chongwu will be to blame for his death."
"Needless to say, Liu Lao, I am still confident in my skills, and I only blame myself for not being good at learning when I am injured."
On the martial arts arena, Yang Ying saw several people competing from a distance as soon as he arrived, but in fact, it was not a competition to be precise, but a one-sided violent beating. One person violently beat more than a dozen people.
A burly young man was naked, holding a straight wooden stick in his hand, doing some simple actions such as piercing, stabbing, pointing, and plucking.
The stick struck the man who fought with him with unmistakable accuracy, covered in bruises and lumps, and he himself was no exception.
The people who practiced martial arts with him also knew some marksmanship, which was the same as the marksmanship of the burly young man, which was not so proficient.
Whenever he knocks someone down, he will fight the others while pointing out where they made mistakes and how to defeat them. The man who fell to the ground would continue to fight with him as he instructed.
"Hehe, that's my second son Liu Chongwu, who knows how to fight and make trouble all day long, doesn't do business, and calls his subordinates brothers and sisters one day." Although Liu Xuan was accusing Liu Chongwu, his demeanor and tone all revealed relief.
Seeing the arrival of Yang Ying and the others, the burly young man threw away the wooden stick and said with a heroic smile: "Haha, there are guests coming, I want to go and say hello, you can rest for a while and continue to practice." After saying that, he trotted over, "Dad, big brother" said and scratched his head, with a smirk on his face, "Who is this son?" ”
"Chongwu must not be rude," Liu Xuan said with a frown.
Yang Ying was still very moved by Liu Chongwu, "It's okay, under Yang Ying, seeing Brother Chongwu's marksmanship is smooth, I feel itchy in my heart, can I ask Brother Chongwu to teach me a few tricks." ”
"Good!" However, as soon as he agreed to Liu Chongwu, he regretted it, although this son was dressed gorgeously, he would not have too high martial arts in this way, and there was no Yang Ying in the younger generation, so he couldn't help but hesitate a little and looked at his father and eldest brother.
Yang Ying knew that Liu Chongwu underestimated herself, and she was not angry, and the true qi in her body was released, "Brother Chongwu, I see that you are also a hero, why are you such a mother-in-law." ”
Liu Chongwu immediately felt that Yang Ying's true qi rushed towards him, Yang Ying's true qi was even more majestic, higher than himself, and he also knew that he was clumsy just now, Liu Chongwu was full of fighting spirit, and laughed: "Since Yang Gongzi said so, I will accompany Yang Gongzi to live a few tricks, what weapon does Yang Gongzi use?" ”
Yang Ying also laughed, "Just like you, with a stick"
"Throw two wooden sticks" Liu Chongwu shouted at those subordinates, and this group of subordinates also came around, and when they saw Yang Ying fighting with Liu Chongwu, they all coaxed, "Young Master Wu, you have to be merciful to your subordinates, don't hurt the little white face."
"Haha, when have I ever let you down." Although Liu Chongwu said so, he was not like these people who couldn't see Yang Ying's strength, he knew very well that he was probably not an opponent, so he was not arrogant as before, but wandered around Yang Ying, trying to find Yang Ying's flaws.
Obviously, he was disappointed, Yang Ying felt like an iron bucket standing there, with nowhere to start.
In a moment, Liu Chongwu found that his momentum was invisibly decreasing, and he didn't wait any longer, and directly attacked Yang Ying with his own tricks.
Liu Chongwu danced with a wooden stick, as if he had changed a person, and the spirit of the whole person fused with the wooden stick, and his breath became fierce.
The wooden sticks danced virtually and realistically, unpredictable, and in the eyes of others, it was like countless wooden sticks stabbing towards Yang Ying.
Yang Ying can still see the trajectory of the wooden stick, but it is still a little difficult to deal with it, and he hurriedly took a step back, wanting to avoid the sharp spirit of the wooden stick, but he didn't expect that the momentum of this dodge Liu Chongwu was even worse, pushing wave after wave, forcing Yang Ying to continue on his hind legs.
Yang Ying only then understood the strength of this pear flower gun, and did not dare to be careless, and cheered up his spirit, and wrapped the wooden stick in his hand around Liu Chongwu's wooden stick, so that he could not continue to attack, so as to give himself a chance to turn passive into active.
Liu Chongwu also saw Yang Ying's purpose, but the power from Yang Ying's wooden stick was too great, and his trick was interrupted before it was completely used, and he had no choice but to withdraw.
However, this withdrawal, the indomitable momentum is gone.
Everyone watching was stunned, and the invincible young master of his own family actually fell behind. And Liu Xuan saw it more clearly, and couldn't help but show a look of horror, "I always thought that the younger generation of Chongwu had few opponents, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so young and surpass Chongwu so much!" ”
Liu Chongwen was not very good at martial arts, so he naturally couldn't understand Yang Ying's terribleness, and asked, "Father, you see that Chongwu can fight with the emperor for a few rounds." ”
Liu Xuan's eyes were deep, staring at the fight, and he replied instantly: "In my opinion, the winner should be determined in sixty or seventy rounds." ”
Then he said in disbelief: "Fifty rounds of Chongwu will be defeated!" ”
Sure enough, Liu Xuan speculated that after the two fought for fifty-one rounds, under Yang Ying's several waves of attacks, Yang Ying's wooden stick stabbed him in the chest, and he also fell out a few feet.
Yang Ying put down the wooden stick and stepped forward to pull Liu Chongwu up, "Brother Chongwu is fine?"
"Haha, it's okay, it's just a little skin injury, I haven't been so happy for a long time" Liu Chongwu was not discouraged because he lost the competition, but was a little happy, this is a martial arts idiot!
"Brother Yang is really powerful, I have never met an opponent of the younger generation, I didn't expect to meet today, I must get drunk with Brother Yang today."
Liu Xuan was really afraid that his son was doing something, so he hurriedly drank and retreated, and after the subordinates left, Liu Xuan said to Liu Chongwu, "Chongwu, this is the emperor, don't hurry up and salute"
Liu Chongwu's body froze after hearing this, and he wanted to kneel, but Yang Ying hurriedly supported him, "Brother Chongwu wasn't very good just now, and we are called brothers without outsiders."
Liu Chongwu was also a little moved when he heard this, but he still glanced at his father and eldest brother, Liu Chongwen didn't react, but his eyes changed a little when he looked at Yang Ying, while Liu Xuan was a little nervous.
"Brother Chongwu, don't see me anymore, I still want to learn from Brother Chongwu in the future."
Hearing the discussion, Liu Chongwuhan smiled and said, "Just listen to the emperor"
