"Hehe," Xiahou Ba smiled faintly and said, "Lu Xin is a talent, and it is not an exaggeration to let him be this Chinese scholar." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"That's right," Xiahou Bupo nodded, thinking of Lu Xin's depressed appearance when he first met him in Yuhang half a year ago, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In half a year, I have been promoted to five levels in a row, from the third-in-command in a county, to a Chinese scholar, and I really fulfilled the old saying, the tree moves the dead and the living." ”

The Liupinshe people of Zhongshu Province have always been the important positions of the children of the gate lords in Beijing, and the so-called "the extreme appointment of the scribes, the grand selection of the imperial court" is an important springboard for the soaring yellow and Tengda. And the Zhongshu Shilang, who is above the Zhongshu Sheren, as long as he is released, he must be a high-ranking official of the province and a feudal official!

"Bupo is a little envious of him?" Xiahou Ba smiled and said: "If you are willing to come out to be an official, how about your uncle let you serve as a scholar?" ”

"My nephew's body should be well maintained, don't occupy the magpie's nest." Xiahou Bupo shook his head, with a gloomy expression.

"It doesn't matter if you're not an official, my Xiahou valve has great ambitions, and you just want to concentrate on contributing to the clan." Xiahou Ba comforted him and said in a deep voice: "You say, how likely is it that this Lu Xin will become the lord of the land valve?" ”

"It's hard to say right now, but it's possible." Xiahou Bupo's eyes flashed with a wise light, and he replied slowly: "Lu Shang had a lot of trouble with the Council of Elders in order to let his son ascend to the throne. This damage to the reputation of his father and son is really worth the loss, most of the other deacons of Lu Valve are middle-aged people, Lu Xin is already stronger than them, as long as we support him more, let him become more and more powerful in the court, then someone will consider him to take over Lu Shang's class. ”

"Of course," Xiahou Bupo sighed lightly, "Now that Lu Xin has been pushed in front by Lu Shang and has become a thorn in the side of the Lu Valve Elders, he has to be able to stand tall all the time to have a chance." ”

"That's natural, if he doesn't have this ability, it's useless for the old man to help him up." Xiahou Ba bowed his head and said: "But the old man is still very optimistic about him, if he can become the lord of the landing valve, it will be of great help to our great cause!" ”

"Yes." Xiahou Bupo nodded. Now among the seven valves, Pei Valve, Cui Valve, and Xie Valve have all surrendered to Xiahou Valve. Because of historical reasons, Wei Valve and Mei Valve have an irresolvable hatred with Xiahou Valve. If Xiahou Ba and the initial emperor officially turn their faces, these two are likely to stand on the side of the Huangfu family, and the Huangfu family still has a righteous bonus, although the Xiahou side can still have the upper hand, but there is no certainty of victory.

If the land valve can be pulled over, the chances of the Xiahou valve will be much greater. But under the leadership of Lu Shang, Lu Valve has always adhered to neutrality, and even Xiahou Ba did not expect him to change his ways.

Fortunately, Lu Shang was old and sick, and the handover was imminent, so Xiahouba wanted to support Lu Xin to take the position. If he succeeds, Lu Xin will not be able to repay his benefactor for the rest of his life, so he can only obediently take Lu Valve and Xiahou Valve to come together.

"Hey, Lu Shang was originally resourceful, and he was excellent among several of us, who knew that he was getting old and old, and his selfishness was getting heavier and heavier, so he had to let his son take over." Xiahou Ba sighed with emotion and said: "The lord of a valve should focus on a valve, and only think about his children and grandchildren, how can he convince the public?" ”

"If Lu Xiu has the talent and courage of a big brother, others can't say anything about father and son successively." Xiahou Bupo said softly: "But Lu Xiu is more than generous, and his talent is insufficient, so he gave others an excuse to attack him." ”

"Hehe......" Xiahou Ba glanced at Xiahou Bupo with a smile and said, "You kid, you are still playing tricks with your uncle." Don't worry, my uncle has long made it clear that my sons and daughters only look at their talents, regardless of their relatives. You brothers are all candidates for succession, and if there is a rising star who surpasses you, you will have to make way for others. ”

"If this is the case, it is really a great event for my lord, and my nephew will definitely carry the whip and kick and do his best to assist." Xiahou Bupo said with a smile.

"This is my good son of Xiahou Valve!" Xiahou Ba happily folded his beard and laughed: "That's why my Xiahou Valve will be extremely prosperous!" ”

Xiahou was convinced: "It's all the uncle's leadership." ”

。

Luonan Renfang is one of the residences of the children of Xie Valve's side. Most of the people who live in the square are the unwilling Xie valve disciples, disciples, and tribesmen, they have almost no chance of getting ahead, and they can't put down the shelves of the people in the door valve, and they are unwilling to engage in industrial and commercial lowly business to make a living, let alone work hard to farm, and many families can only rely on the little money and food issued by the valve every month to survive, and even many Shu people are not as good as it.

Xie Bo's family is in Ningrenfang, and his family was originally the same as other families, relying on the monthly money and grain to feed a large family of more than a dozen people, and life was very poor. But fortunately, he was very talented and able to endure hardships, and was appreciated by Xie Ju, the deacon of Xie Valve's Wuwei, and recommended him to participate in the Jiupin Official Rating held by the Ministry of Rites.

Although the official rating of the Ministry of Rites cannot be compared with the big competition held by Ziwei Palace, it is also an important way for the children of the gate valve to get ahead. After that, he was promoted to the six-rank driver, and even appeared on the Xuanjie list of the Detective Mansion, becoming a well-known name in the valve.

Although Xie Bo has not been conspicuous over the years, he has not only been paid by the imperial court, but the money and food he receives from the clan every month are also several times that of others, and he has lived a prosperous life with the whole family, and he is simply envious of the neighborhood.

This time, Xie Bo was entrusted with an important task by Mrs. Xie to challenge the kid of the land valve to vent his anger for Xie Dashao. According to the legend of the clan, as long as he can win the battle, Xie Ju will teach him the complete Five Virtues and Five Elements. You must know that those who can practice the complete exercises are all the descendants of the valve, and in the eyes of the neighbors, this is the meaning of this valve to promote Xie Bo to the descendant. At this time, the people from the neighbors of the fifth street and even other squares came to his house to congratulate Xie Bo's parents in advance.

Although Xie Bo was reluctant to make a noise, his father still couldn't stand the encouragement of everyone, and set up a banquet in advance yesterday, and when he returned triumphantly, he would have a good life to celebrate.

As a result, the banquet was also set up, and the guests came, waiting and waiting, only to wait until Xie Bo's blue nose and swollen face were carried back......

The scene at that time was extremely embarrassing, Xie Bo's father couldn't stand the stimulation, and actually turned his back on his breath, and the guests hurriedly supported the old man, pinching people and pouring tea, before finally saving him. But after all, this banquet was inedible, and the guests all went away, and many people also showed a sense of schadenfreude, saying that "victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers", "failure is the mother of success" and other cool words.

From yesterday to today, Xie Bo's home has been dead silent. Xie Bo was lying alone in the West House, with no rice in and no water, and he didn't even move. When the family talked to him, he ignored everything, and even a pair of four or five-year-old children wanted to accompany him, but he scolded him loudly.

Xie Bo was lying on the couch like a dead man, and he really wanted to die. Then you don't have to worry about what to do in the future......

I completely offended Xie Tian, not only would it be impossible to learn the complete exercises, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to mix it up in the valve......

The neighbors must be gloating, I have worked hard for more than ten years, and after all, I am no different from them......

Father and wife must be disappointed, they are looking forward to living in Luobei like that......

My son and daughter will follow my old path again in the future, and they still can't break free from the shackles on their bodies after struggling desperately, and they will definitely be like me, resenting why their parents couldn't give birth to me in Luobei......

Just when Xie Bo was about to be overwhelmed by the endless negative emotions, the door of the hidden room creaked open.

===============================================================================

Chapter 172

Hearing the knock on the door, Xie Bo shouted irritably: "Get out!" ”

But the other party turned a deaf ear, closed the door again, and stepped in.

Xie Bo suddenly realized that something was wrong, this footstep did not belong to anyone in the family, he sat up suddenly, looked at the comer vigilantly, and the true qi of his whole body was about to burst.

I saw that it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, wearing a lake-blue Confucian robe, and his handsome appearance was a mess, it was Lu Yun who defeated him yesterday.

Xie Bo frowned, but still did not let his guard down: "What are you doing here?" ”

Lu Yun was also surprised, he looked at Xie Bo, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and said softly: "You fought with someone again?" "In yesterday's competition, Lu Yuntong only punched Xie Bo once, and it was a big medium punch that would never cause flesh injuries.

"I fell on my own." Xie Bo snorted angrily.

"No, it's a scar from a fist or kick, but when I left yesterday, you should have recovered your true qi." Lu Yun stared at Xie Bo's face, analyzed it seriously, and said, "Unless you are a ground-level grandmaster, you can break your body-protecting true qi and beat you like this." As he spoke, he became more and more puzzled: "But how can an earth-level grandmaster make a move on you because of his self-respecting identity?" ”

"That's all you want to know?" Xie Bo laughed angrily, nodded and said, "Okay, let me tell you, it was Xie Tian who ordered me to put away my true qi, and then beat me like this with his group of fox friends and dogs!" After speaking, he pointed to the door and said, "Now that my joke is finished, you can leave!" ”

Lu Yun looked at Xie Bo with clear eyes and whispered. "I'm sorry."

"Humph! Fair competition, what do you have to apologize for? Xie Bo tilted his head and said in a muffled voice.

"Actually, Brother Xie's strength is far above me, but he has good intentions and doesn't want to be Xie Tian's accomplice, so there will be a flaw and he will be hit by me." Lu Yun said frankly.

"If I lose, I lose, am I killed on the battlefield, and I still have to make excuses?" Xie Bo sneered, but his expression finally eased.

"It shouldn't be like this," Lu Yun shook his head slowly, and said with blazing eyes: "In this world, people should not help to abuse to have a way out, and following their own kindness should have a good reward." ”

"Hahaha!" Xie Bo laughed out loud as if he had heard a big joke, but the laughter was full of grief and helplessness. "This is the way of the world, and we humble people can only find a way out if we lose our conscience and act as lackeys." After a pause, he said word by word: "Lackey, you shouldn't have a conscience!" ”

"That's the way of this world is wrong," Lu Yun sighed lightly, but his eyes became more and more determined: "Let's make this world change!" ”

"......" When Xie Bo heard this, his blood boiled at first, and then only a cold sneer remained: "It's really young and frivolous, and he can actually say such nonsensical words." Saying that, he smiled dumbly and said, "How can the world change? ”

"The old man often said that people's hearts are not ancient, and presumably the way of the world in ancient times was different from today," Lu Yun said seriously: "It can be seen that the way of the world can be changed." ”

"Uh......" Xie Bo was speechless for a while, only feeling that what Lu Yun said was so reasonable, he couldn't refute it. He never expected that someone could shake his deep-rooted concepts with a single sentence, and it took a long time before he said in a muffled voice: "Even if the world can change, it will take several generations, hundreds of years, at least we can't see it." ”

"If our generation is determined to change, the next generation may be able to live in a new world. If we accept our fate, the next generation will have to repeat what we are doing today. Lu Yun said slowly: "A drop of water still pierces through stones, and the accumulated soil can become a mountain, as long as you work hard, you will be closer to the goal." ”

"......" Xie Bo frowned, as if he had seen it for the first time, he carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and from those black and white eyes, Xie Bo clearly saw the word 'ideal'. But after a while, Xie Bo still cooled down, and he shook his head dejectedly and said, "It can't be changed." Those gate valve descendants occupy all the resources and exercises, and we, the children of the side lineage, will never be able to fight them. ”

"I don't see it that way." Lu Yun said categorically.

"Of course you can not believe in evil, because you have come to the fore." Xie Bo looked at Lu Yun and said sarcastically: "But a lucky person like you, how many years will it take to produce one?" ”

"Am I lucky?" Lu Yun laughed self-deprecatingly, he shook his head, and said with a vicissitudes that did not belong to his age: "I can say that it is the most unfortunate, everything I can have today, none of it was given to me by others, I got it by my own efforts!" ”

"All successful people will think so," Xie Bo said disapprovingly: "But have you ever thought about it, you can have today's achievements because you have a good father!" Saying that, he smiled desolately: "Am I not working hard enough, not hard enough?" But because my father hadn't studied for a few days and hadn't practiced much martial arts, no matter how hard I studied, I couldn't get the right guidance and couldn't write an amazing article like yours! No matter how hard I practice martial arts, I won't be able to complete the exercises, and I will never be able to become a grandmaster! ”

"There is no such father, you just have to be such a father." Lu Yun said lightly.

"Do you think I don't want to?!" Xie Bo was touched by the scar, his emotions burst out all of a sudden, and he couldn't suppress his voice and shouted: "I have already said that without a complete exercise, I will never become a grandmaster!" ”

"Complete exercises?" Lu Yun frowned slightly, obviously the exercises had become the demon in Xie Bo's heart. He said softly: "If others don't give it to you, can't you figure it out yourself?" ”

"Shall I steal and rob?" Xie Bo said angrily: "If the valve knows, he will immediately abolish my martial arts and expel me from the Xie family!" As he spoke, he sat down on the couch like a deflated ball and said, "What is the difference between being like me now and being expelled from the Xie family?" ”

"Five virtues and five elements, do you have to rely on Xie Valve to get it?" Lu Yun asked softly.

"Of course!" Xie Bo snorted and said, "Xie Valve's unique technique, how can it be learned elsewhere?" ”

"Then I may ask, who did the ancestors who founded this exercise learn from?" Lu Yun asked again.

"This ......" Xie Bo hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice, "It's natural to learn the law." ”

"Why can't you do the same thing and complete this exercise yourself?" Lu Yun asked softly.

"Me?" As if he had heard a funny joke, Xie Bo laughed and said, "You also think too highly of me, how can I compare with the amazing and brilliant ancestors?" ”

"Okay, even if you are not as good as your ancestors, but now you have the exercises of the four virtues and the four elements, the five virtues complement each other, the five elements are mutually reinforcing, and it is much easier to find out the last virtue and line with the existing exercises than your ancestors to create this exercise out of thin air, right?" Lu Yun smiled slightly.

"The five virtues complement each other, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing?" Xie Bo's eyes lit up, he had practiced the Five Virtues and Five Elements Gong for many years, and his understanding of this sentence was naturally far beyond ordinary people, but he never thought about it, and he didn't have the courage to figure out the rest of the exercises by himself.

"I have some immature opinions, Brother Xie might as well refer to them." Lu Yun smiled and said: "The five elements are born together, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold." Therefore, among the four elements that Brother Xie has mastered, there must be the mystery of mutual birth. On the contrary, the mystery of the five elements is already in Brother Xie's grasp. ”

"Hmm......" Xie Bo nodded slowly, his expression solemn as never before. He has practiced the five virtues and five elements for more than ten years, especially in recent years, because of the lack of complete exercises, he can only repeatedly temper the four virtues and four elements that he has mastered.
