Chapter 61: The Comer Is Not Good
King Kang's Mansion, renovated from a Taoist temple, is smaller and more simple than the old mansion in Yecheng, which also makes the group of people who come to provoke trouble particularly rampant.
It was just when he walked out of the backyard that Liu Shi heard the sound of commotion coming from the front yard. When he got closer, it was worse than he expected.
King Kang's entourage was expelled from Yecheng, although it was an external seal, but there was no substantive military power in his hands, not to mention, the family guards brought from Yecheng, except for those who resigned before departure, those who died of illness on the road, those who escaped, and those who were left so far, the total total number of people is only about a dozen.
These dozen or so people are also some of them who have grown up in the palace since childhood, and on weekdays, it is okay to guard against some thieves who fly on the eaves and walk on the wall, but in front of them, how can they beat the elite soldiers deliberately brought by Liang Guo?
The consequence, the consequence is naturally, when Liu Shi panted and rushed to the vicinity of the main hall, he saw that there were already people sitting on the main seat with Erlang's legs crossed, under the porch of the door, a little farther away, and standing side by side were the nurses in the palace who were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and did not dare to act rashly.
"Huh! I didn't see the waste of the nest, but I sent the tuberculosis ghost around me first, what a joke, no wonder there was a marriage contract with the princess of the Han Kingdom! It's called, 'Husband sings with wife', a pair of turtles with shrunken heads! ”
Without waiting for Liu Shi to enter the main hall, the Liang Guoren, who sat on the throne unceremoniously, scolded from top to bottom with his mouth unclean, and almost spared the entire palace people.
Listening to the unbearable humiliation, Liu Shi, who put everything first, couldn't help but snatch an eyebrow stick from the hand of a nurse and walked into the main hall with his head held high.
Liu Shi burned his eyebrows angrily, and the liver fire was only a little bit like a prairie fire.
As early as when he came, Liu Shi had already inquired clearly, Linchuan was located on the border of Xuanguo, and the situation was complicated. Linxi is the boundary, the east is close to Jiangcheng, the capital of the Han Kingdom, the cliff is intimidating, the west is bordering the southern frontier of the barbarians, the sword tablet is allocated, and the south is adjacent to the Liang State Prison.
The Han Kingdom is good, and the courtesies are still exchanged; Southern Xinjiang is hidden from the world and is nowhere to be found. If you want to say that in Linchuan, the biggest threat is probably the Liang State that is eyeing up.
In addition, Liu Shi also inquired that the general of Liang who is now leading the troops to guard the prison at the other end of the sword monument is not someone else, it is the prince of Liang - Xia Zhengtao, and the Liang envoy Xia Zhengde of Xuanguo who was sent is a half-sibling.
Wearing a suit of casual armor, Xia Zhengtao simply lay down without a proper shape, one foot was also crossed on the other leg, and he even took a fruit in his hand and gnawed on it, without taking the future in his eyes at all.
"Phew!" The fruit was sour, Xia Zhengtao spit directly on the ground, and threw the fruit on the ground again, only then did he glance at Liu Shi, who had already walked in front of him.
Liu Shiqi had his eyebrows in his hand, but he didn't get started directly, neither humble nor arrogant, and stood awe-inspiring.
"I have heard that the customs and customs of Liang Country are unusual, and they follow the old customs of the people of southern Xinjiang, and the clan relatives intermarry, so, it seems that the etiquette is really beyond the world, otherwise, there will be no one who does not remember that he is a guest!"
When Xia Zhengtao heard this, he still lay there in his own way, holding a lock of broken hair from his ear in his hand, and aimlessly circled his fingers.
"Hah...... Are you saying that the waste prince of your family is the owner of this place? In addition to the imperial decree made up by the emperor of your Xuanguo, who is also wasteful, you can go to the street and ask those people, this was originally the Taoist temple of my Liang Kingdom, you say, who is the master?! ”
Even if Xia Zhengtao turned back with reason, his eyes narrowed, like a tiger after a full meal, as if he was bound to win this small Kang Wangfu.
"This ......" Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly remembered the Taoist plaque that had been changed to "King Kang's Mansion". It seems that it was put there with a heart early in the morning.
Here, Xia Zhengtao continued to be proud, but he turned over, pillowed his arm under his head, and kept shaking with one foot still on his lap.
"Why, don't you believe me? The man who came ......"
"Not necessarily! This is King Kang's Mansion, there is no doubt about it! ”
Just when Xia Zhengtao was about to send his men to pick up the plaque of the palace, Yu Qinglin rushed back from Zhishui Peak not too early or late, changed into a scholar's dress, and walked out of the gate without hurry, still holding the plaque of King Kang's Mansion in his hand.
"Humph! In my opinion, your Kang Wangfu is also unruly, and a doorman from any mansion can break in! Xia Zhengtao snorted coldly from his nose, sat up straight, and looked at Yu Qinglin, who was getting closer and closer.
As a martial artist, he has a keen sense that makes him aware that the person in front of him is not simple, and he will never be an ordinary doorman in the palace.
After a while, Yu Qinglin walked to Liu Shi with a plaque, Liu Shi glanced at it, and the three big words "Nameless View" behind him were still so dazzling in the wood grain that had been precipitated for years.
He really didn't dislike King Kang's Mansion was rebuilt from a Taoist temple, but now in this situation, he didn't leave them the effort to consult the geographies, and he was aggressive and aggressive.
"I and the prince when they first came to Linchuan, there was nothing to do, so they ran out and walked around the streets and alleys, and heard the people say that this Kang Wangfu was indeed a Taoist temple, and even the plaque did not come to change it urgently! I don't believe this, but now it's time to pluck this stupid piece of wood, and you are here, too, to be a witness, to see if it is a rumor from the people? ”
Although he saw the anxious eyes of Liu Shi on the side and asked him not to act rashly, Yu Qinglin did the opposite, but everyone present had to see it clearly!
"Oh? Isn't this plaque originally changed with the Taoist plaque, and the name of the Taoist temple is still retained on the back, whether it is true or false, so many of us, so many eyes, you can know at a glance! ”
Knowing that the back of the plaque was clearly engraved with "Nameless View", Xia Zhengtao couldn't wait to spread his arms and pointed to the main hall and his subordinates outside the hall, they had also been instructed to tell them, with Xia Zhengtao's two arms, they began to coax like scoundrels on the street.
"Shine out! Shine it out! ”
"It's just, let's see if it's nothing!"
The commotion came and went, gradually uniform, and the momentum became louder and louder, Liu Shi looked at Yu Qinglin on the side with a nervous expression, but at this time, he smiled easily and threw the whole plaque into the air.
"Oops, I didn't expect there to be so much dust on this plaque, wait for me to wipe it clean and let you see it clearly!"
As soon as the words fell, when the plaque was thrown into the air and was still flipping, Yu Qinglin rose into the air, and his footwork was surprising, as if he was stepping on an invisible ladder and jumped slightly higher than the plaque.
The sleeves are rolled up, and the arms are made into long scarves to sweep away the dust; Palm exercises, into the wood three points flat old traces.
In front of everyone's eyes, Yu Qinglin delicately smoothed out the old words behind the plaque with his palm, and in the eyes of ordinary people, all they saw was the afterimage of his palm passing by in the blink of an eye at the plaque and the sawdust that had been left on the ground.
"Huhu...... cough cough cough ...... It's really dirty, I think it's the family hasn't come to wipe it well, it really makes the guests laugh! ”
landed in an instant, Yu Qinglin generously held a whole plaque in his hand, and deliberately blew it, and there were unfinished crumbs, which were blown up by him, and fascinated Xia Zhengtao's eyes.
Xia Zhengtao is not a fool, how could he not know that it was Yuqing Linyungong who smoothed out those three big characters. But he can't refute it directly, after all, if he keeps saying that this plaque originally had the name of the Taoist temple behind it, then it is self-evident who did the tricks in the transformation of this Taoist temple into King Kang's mansion.
If he wants to argue about this Linchuan territory anymore, then he has to check the geographical chronicles, and in the geographical chronicles, the original ownership of Linchuan has nothing to do with their Liang country.
Originally, Xia Zhengtao originally wanted to give Xuanyuan Qi who came from afar a prestige, to vent his anger for his little brother who was ugly one after another in Yecheng, and also to gain some face.
Unexpectedly, he miscalculated, and now, not only did he not even see Xuanyuan Qi's face, but he was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed by a doorman in the house.
While taking the wet handkerchief from others and wiping his face, Xia Zhengtao had no choice but to step down from the main seat and leave with his subordinates.
"If I am not mistaken, Your Excellency is the Prince of Liang, right? Why are you leaving? The prince is tired of driving and horses, and he is sick, and he can't be entertained, so this matter should naturally be handed over to the two of us. His Royal Highness the Prince, don't stay a little longer and talk about the customs of the Xuan Kingdom? ”
Before the person reached the door, Xia Zhengtao was stopped by Yu Qinglin.
Leaning sideways, Xia Zhengtao took a good look at Yu Qinglin's appearance this time. Before coming to King Kang's Mansion, he didn't expect that there were such characters hidden in this inconspicuous palace. He could feel that Yu Qinglin was not only above him in martial arts, but also in strategy.
"Things in the army are complicated, and I am also easy to have leisure today, so I plan to visit King Kang who came from afar, but it seems that I am not lucky to come today, and when King Kang recovers, I will invite the two gentlemen to get together with King Kang, so don't come then......"
After that, Xia Zhengtao directly used the hilt of the saber in his hand to forcibly push Yu Qinglin's arm that was blocking half of his body to the side, and left King Kang's mansion with his subordinates without looking back.
"Ahem......"
"Master Shi! Master Shi! ”
The front foot had just sent away the "plague god" from Liang Guolai, and the back foot was in the exclamation of several family members, but Yu Qinglin turned around and saw Liu Shi who vomited blood.
already had heart and lung disease, and the anger just now made Liu Shi's anger churn upward, and the blood did not return to the meridians, so he spit vermilion.
Seeing Liu Shi staggering to the ground and almost falling to the ground, Yu Qinglin hurriedly took him aside and sat down.
"You ...... You are all fighting in the house, and today, the people of the Liang Kingdom are riding on the head of the prince like this, you ...... But you're all standing outside the hall?! Go down, all of you, and take the rod and punish yourselves...... Ahem......"
Although the palace is weak, and the guards of the courtyard are indeed unable to defeat the elite soldiers brought by Xia Zhengtao, but they are timid, shrinking their heads and standing outside the hall, allowing Liang Guoren to swagger into the palace, which really makes King Kang's mansion make enough jokes today.
Yu Qinglin shook his head and sighed, as the lord of the mansion, Xuanyuan Qi was poisoned in his body, and his temperament has been irritable and stubborn since then, and he is afraid that he will act in an extreme way, Liu was born and died, and now, even if Liu Shi has a chronic illness, no matter how difficult it is, whether it is for the entire Kang Wang Mansion or Xuanyuan Qi alone, he can only barely support his sick body.
He can't interfere too much in everything that is mundane, and he can't do anything about it, what he can do now is to guard Xuanyuan Qi here and continue to fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher.
"Yu ...... Ha, you are now in this body, and the Taoist chief is afraid that it is not suitable, so he has to respect you as before, 'sir'......"
Slowing down the stagnation of qi in his heart, a smile appeared on Liu Shi's pale face, and at the same time, he took the letter sent by Xie Jin from his arms and handed it to Yu Qinglin.
After casually flipping through a few glances and reading the letter roughly, Yu Qinglin put more attention on Liu Shi, who was still holding his chest.
"It's Sanskrit, I don't know it, and I can't find someone in Yecheng to copy it."
So, you must have found someone to translate these Sanskrit texts? The palace still needs you to take care of it, and where you want to go, I'll go for a walk. ”
Without waiting for Liu Shi to ask for help, Yu Qinglin agreed first.
At this time, Liu Shi also took out a cyan feather feather from the sleeve of his robe and handed it to Yu Qinglin.
Yu Qinglin had never seen it, so he took it in his hand curiously at first glance and looked at it over and over again.
"It can't be the feather feather on you, right? I don't know who wants to entrust you with such a token to find it? ”
Hearing Yu Qinglin's words, Liu Shi seemed to have thought of something, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and his eyebrows also raised, he almost didn't laugh out loud. After a flash in the pan, Yu Qinglin only listened to Liu Shi reply to him.
"Fangwai Sumeru Realm."
