Chapter 4: The God of War and the King (II)
"Ah, the contemptible people are Yandi people, so the accent is not like the Central Plains. Fang Cai saw that this benevolent brother was holding this sword, and he couldn't help the love in his heart, so he came over to talk. If there is any offense and disturbance, I hope that the three of them will not be blamed. The young man's tone of voice could be said to be very polite.
"Oh? Then dare you ask why you are here? Tian Shaotu then asked.
The young man looked sad and sighed and said, "Alas, my father has been seriously ill recently, and you should all know that there are not many famous doctors in Yandi, so we came to Chang'an all the way to ask for medical advice. I hope that the doctors in the capital can cure my father's stubborn illness, so that even if I die, I will have no regrets. ”
As he spoke, the young man brushed his sleeves and wiped his tears, and Yu Wenxuan couldn't help but think of his father.
Before his father's death, he failed to fulfill his filial piety as a son, and now this person has come to Chang'an thousands of miles for his seriously ill father, which is really admirable. I'll have to help him. Yu Wenxuan thought.
Seeing that Yu Wenxuan wanted to speak again, Zhang Shaohua immediately handed the sword back to him, and said to himself: "Brother Tai really admires Ling Zun's filial piety to my brothers, in this way, I also know a few doctors with superb medical skills in Chang'an City, why don't you wait for me to accompany Brother Tai to ask for an invitation?" ”
After hearing this, the young man pondered for a while, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I was just attracted by the sword when I stepped forward, and I didn't mean anything else." And yesterday, a doctor had already prescribed medicine for my father, so I didn't bother a few people. We meet in Pingshui, thank you for your concern. After saying that, he bowed to the three of them again.
"That's fine, then our brother still has something to do, so I'll leave first, and there will be a period later." Tian Shaotu also got up to return the salute, and then pulled Yu Wenxuan away, Zhang Shaohua also got up and nodded to each other with the young man, signaling to leave with Tian Shaotu.
Seeing the three of them leave, the young man sat back in his seat, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, savoring the wine in his cup, and muttering, "There will be a period later." ”
Out of the tavern, Yu Wenxuan looked puzzled, and shook off Tian Shao's hand pulling his sleeve: "Why didn't you two let me speak just now." ”
"Stupid you have it, you can't even see this?" Without waiting for Tian Shaotu to speak, Zhang Shaohua said first.
"Go back to the palace first." Tian Shaotu glanced vigilantly in the direction of the tavern, patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said.
Even if Yu Wenxuan had more questions in his stomach just now, with his wisdom, seeing the expressions of the two friends, he suddenly understood a lot. The three of them made a special detour back to Prince Xi's mansion.
Abandon the squire.
"You, you, you believe that guy after listening to it? Do you still want to bring them to the palace to see a doctor? Tian Shaotu looked at Yu Wenxuan helplessly.
Along the way, Yu Wenxuan had already figured it out. In recent years, the Bohai Kingdom in the northeast has been ready to move, and it is no longer a day or two to stare at the Great Zhou. Although it is still a small vassal country on the surface, its wolf ambitions have long been known. Bohai Country is close to the Great Zhou Yandi, and the man claims to have a Yandi accent, but who will go to check whether it is true or false? Besides, since he dared to say this, he must have prepared in advance. Moreover, the young man said that his father was seriously ill, so how could he still be in the mood to sit in the tavern and drink leisurely?
"I didn't think much of it at the time, he said that his father was sick, and I thought of my father. That's why I believed him. Yu Wenxuan said.
"In the past few years, the Bohai Kingdom has been secretly fighting hard, if it weren't for the fear of you and our Black Feather Army, and the time is not ripe, I'm afraid it would have been attacked long ago." Zhang Shaohua analyzed, "His Majesty the Emperor has told my father about this many times. ”
"Whether it's true or not, it's essential to guard against people. I'll go into the palace and tell the royal brother. Yu Wenxuan said.
"Don't worry just yet." Tian Shaotu stopped Yu Wenxuan, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are enough things, let's check it out first, and then report it." ”
"It's fine. In this way, we are divided into two ways. The two of you will go home first to find Uncle Tian, who is in charge of the distribution of the capital, and asked him to keep an eye out for suspicious people recently. I went to Brother Ge's mansion and asked the Praetorian Guards to step up patrols recently to prevent assassins from carrying out assassinations. After that, we will go to the master's meeting with us. Yu Wenxuan quickly made arrangements.
"Okay."
……
Outside the city.
"Master! Master?" Yu Wenxuan tied the horse to the fence outside the wooden house. Carrying two jars of wine, he pushed the door in.
"Master won't take a nap and haven't woken up yet, right?" Yu Wenxuan looked at the sky and muttered, "No, the old man is not so lazy." Did you go out and haven't come back? As he spoke, he looked around the yard.
Just as Yu Wenxuan was talking to himself, an old man in cloth came out of the house, his hair was white, but his eyebrows did not look old at all, but revealed a little immortal. Although he is old, his hair and beard are very neatly combed, and he has a reclusive demeanor.
I saw that the old man hit Yu Wenxuan with a heavy punch, Yu Wenxuan hurriedly took a few steps back, first put down the wine jar in his hand, and then lightly touched the ground with his toes, turned over and flew behind the old man.
"Master, aren't you afraid of spilling the wine?" Yu Wenxuan asked with a smile.
"Hmph, stinky boy. Less nonsense. The old man glared at Yu Wenxuan.
Alas, I shouldn't have said anything bad about him just now, I didn't have nothing to do. Yu Wenxuan thought to himself.
The master and apprentice fought for about half a cup of tea, and the old man retreated to the door with a false move, took a wooden stick in his hand, and rushed to Yuwenxuan again, saying in his mouth: "Good boy, there is progress." ”
"That is, your apprentice's martial arts are now recognized as the best in the world." Yu Wenxuan was proud.
"The best in the world? Do you dare to fight back when Lao Tzu beats you? The old man said angrily.
"Uh......" Yu Wenxuan looked at his master helplessly.
Yu Wenxuan's master is called Liu Wenxiang, who was also one of the founding fathers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was named the Duke of Lu by Yu Wenxuan's grandfather, that is, Emperor Gaozu. The official is a lieutenant and a general of Annam. It was only later that he had political disagreements with some officials and his only son died in battle, so he was disheartened and resolutely resigned. gave up the title, didn't want a mansion, and came to build a house in the mountains outside Chang'an City alone.
Later, when Yu Wenxuan was six years old, he was sent by the emperor to learn from him. Yu Wenxuan's intelligence, studiousness and naughtiness made Liu Wenxiang love him very much. I didn't have a son, so I put all my expectations on Yu Wenxuan. Soon after, Tian Shaotu and Zhang Shaohua were also sent here by their respective fathers to learn martial arts, and the small courtyard was full of joy. So much so that Liu Wenxiang felt that teaching martial arts and the art of war to these three children was the happiest time in his later years.
Liu Wenxiang treats the three of Yu Wenxuan as if they were his own children. Even if Yu Wenxuan is the prince of the Great Zhou.
In less than thirty rounds, Yu Wenxuan unloaded his strength and pushed away the wooden stick in Liu Wenxiang's hand. slapped his palm on Liu Wenxiang's chest, then quickly took a few steps back, and said, "Master, I won, you are not allowed to cheat." ”
"I'm very proud of winning, Lao Tzu?" Liu Wenxiang knocked on Yu Wenxuan's head with a wooden stick, "Let's enter the house." Why is the stinky boy willing to move to see my old man today? ”
Yu Wenxuan picked up the two jars of wine just now, followed closely behind Liu Wenxiang, and said with a smile: "Isn't this missing you, you see, I also brought you two jars of daughter red." ”
Listening to Yu Wenxuan's words, the corners of Liu Wenxiang's mouth rose unconsciously, and his eyes were even a little sparkling. It's just that he walked in front, and Yu Wenxuan naturally couldn't see it.
"Ahem...... You know how to come and see me. What about the two little guys of the young apprentice and Shaohua? Liu Wenxiang asked.
"They'll be here later. By the way, master, Shaohua's martial arts have grown quite a lot, and this expedition is a great show of might, and even my limelight has been overshadowed. When he comes, why don't you try him too? After the master and apprentice sat down, Yu Wenxuan said.
And Zhang Shaohua didn't know at this time that he had been sold by his good brother.
"Oh? Is it? Liu Wenxiang looked at the serious Yu Wenxuan, smiled helplessly, and shook his head.
As the two were talking, the sound of Lerma was heard outside the house.
"They're here, master, I'll go and see it first." Yu Wenxuan got up and walked outside the house.
"Master." After entering the house, the three of them saluted Liu Wenxiang at the same time.
"Shaohua, the master just heard Xuan'er say that your martial arts have made great progress, and the master intends to try your kung fu, but he is too old to withstand the toss. Why don't you two learn from each other, and the master will give you some pointers. As soon as the three of them sat down, Liu Wenxiang said.
Zhang Shaohua looked at Yu Wenxuan with wide eyes. Yu Wenxuan hurriedly said, "Master, why don't you forget it." Let's get down to business first. ”
Liu Wenxiang looked at the two of them without saying a word, and sneered: "You two stinky boys...... Okay, let's talk about it, what's the matter. ”
Yu Wenxuan and Zhang Shaohua looked at Tian Shaotu in unison, Tian Shaotu understood and told Liu Wenxiang what they encountered today, and said their conjectures by the way.
After hearing this, Liu Wenxiang slapped the table heavily and scolded: "South Vietnam has just finished fighting, and this Bohai Sea is restless again. ”
"No wonder you didn't come with you today. Have you talked to Gray and Lao Tian about it? Liu Wenxiang asked.
"It's all said and done." Tian Shaotu replied, "It's just that we haven't reported to Your Majesty yet." Think about being cautious so as not to startle the snake. ”
"That's right." Liu Wenxiang pondered for a while and said, "This Bohai country is not willing to be in a corner of peace, and it has come to commit crimes as early as the beginning of the establishment of our dynasty. At that time, the Great Zhou had just been established, and the foundation was not yet stable. However, he was still beaten back by a few of our old fellows with troops. In this way, there has been no movement for more than 40 years. ”
"What are you afraid of, if they come, we will fight back." Zhang Shaohua said.
"That's it, it's going to hurt them once, and see if these guys dare to stir up trouble again." Yu Wenxuan echoed.
Liu Wenxiang sighed lightly, as if remembering the past, "Alas...... None of this is my business anymore. I can't control it either. ”
Then he said: "But as a teacher, I still have to tell the three of you a few words......
