Chapter 196: The former fame has declined
Accepting a king and grandson as an apprentice is really an irresistible temptation for Elder Shengong Menqu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Back then, the Xuandao Hall and the White Lotus Sect were removed one after another, and both the sect masters and their elders were all afraid of the heavenly punishment that was about to descend on the Divine Bow Gate day and night. Because, after the removal of those two factions, they were already at the bottom at that time!
Back then, the Xuandao Hall also had great achievements, and the White Lotus Sect was also a big faction, but when the military envoys arrived, didn't they turn into powder?
But just when they resented but reluctantly ushered in the guillotine that was about to fall, the situation suddenly changed.
After being silent for many years, the White Lotus Sect and the Xuandao Hall not only did not die out, but actually returned to the Martial Arts Record! not only returned to Wupinlu, but also pulled down Wu Renyuan, the secretary of the criminal department who was hated by all factions before, and even Gao Zezhi, the servant of the criminal department who succeeded Shangshu with the greatest hope, also fell down. In this way, the Divine Bow Gate was ecstatic, but it was also disappointed.
Especially when he learned that behind this incident was the old lady Yue who was the head of the household department at that time and the eldest princess of Dongyang, and Yan Xu, the son of the eldest princess of Dongyang, directly relied on the dying entrustment of the head of the cloud to become the head of the Xuandao Hall at the bottom of the ranking, Elder Qu had dreamed countless times, hoping that this kind of good luck could also befall the Shengong Gate.
And just a few days ago, his dream came true.
Therefore, at this moment, seeing that Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, was smiling and bringing Yue Qianqiu to see him, Elder Qu, who had personally sent Li Chongming out, only felt mixed feelings. Of course, he would not rely on the friendship of master and apprentice to Li Chongming, so he really instructed people at will, but greeted him with a very cordial and warm attitude.
"Master, this is the head disciple of the Xuandao Hall, the ninth prince of Yuejiu. This is Bai Bufan, the youngest son of General Bai of Fuzhou, who is extraordinary by nature and has amazing bravery. I had the pleasure of seeing them fight in front of the Eldest Princess's Mansion before, and it was really exciting. ”
Hearing Li Chongming say that he was born extraordinary, Bai Bufan was quite happy, but when Li Chongming mentioned the challenge in front of the eldest princess's mansion, he immediately stretched his face. In his opinion, that was the biggest stain on his life, not one of them. It's not because he took the initiative to challenge but lost, but he now realizes that he was simply being tricked, and there is something wrong with the wind he heard!
Even though he had now severed contact with the so-called friend who had said bad things about him, he was still resentful.
Therefore, without waiting for Yue Qianqiu to speak, he said stiffly: "I don't dare to agree with what King Jiazi said, that battle was just my own strength, and I came to the door to provoke, not to mention what a wonderful battle, if you want me to say, it's a monkey play!" ”
Li Chongming is very well cultivated, even if he is so upset by Bai Bufan, the smile on his face still does not change at all, but he also said apologetically: "Bai Gongzi forgives the sin, it's me, a bystander, who doesn't have enough eyesight and doesn't know the inside story, if there is any offense, please forgive me." ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that Li Chongming's identity is higher than himself, Bai Bufan can only snort awkwardly, and reluctantly said: "I don't blame you, I just said that I am not good...... Anyway, I just came out with the ninth prince today, and I have seen the heroes of the world, Your Royal Highness, you don't have to worry about me, just treat me as a follower. ”
At this moment, Yue Qianqiu finally caught a hint of discoloration in Li Chongming's eyes. The two words of the follower who knew that it was Bai Bufan were really terrifying, he was so angry and funny, he could only quickly laugh and interrupt.
"Elder Qu, His Royal Highness, don't listen to extraordinary nonsense. Xuandaotang has been active in Jinling since it was rebuilt, and I have never seen a hero in the world, so naturally I don't have much confidence in my heart. And dragging him, a tiger with me, I can at least feel a little more at ease. ”
Elder Qu immediately laughed: "The two sons laughed, you are all young talents, come together to enjoy the light, this remote place is simply full of brilliance." It's just that Shengongmen has been stretched thin over the years, and only rented a side courtyard of this inn, which is really not enough to entertain guests, please forgive me. ”
Yue Qianqiu naturally said that it was okay, and when he entered, he saw that the young man opened his head and poked his head, as if he was looking at himself, so he quietly put his hand in his sleeve, and then took out his hand when others were not paying attention, and then flicked his fingers lightly. Finding that the young man was very agile in picking up the things, he casually pulled Bai Bufan into the inn with Elder Qu and Li Chongming.
As soon as they left, the young man opened his palm, and found that it was a piece of money that was round inside and outside, and although he was greedy for a while, after thinking about it, he finally ran to the shopkeeper.
Soon, the shopkeeper who bit it with his teeth, burned it with fire, and tried his best to judge that this was real gold couldn't help but puff his teeth lightly.
"I really didn't expect these poor ghosts from other places to have such a face. First, the prince of King Jia came to the door to apprentice, and then the prince of Yue Jiu came to visit. ”
"The prince of Jia Wang didn't act so generously before!" The young man pouted unconvinced.
"You know what? If it weren't for the fact that the prince of Yue Jiu gave this money now, based on their previous words, can you be sure that it is really the prince of King Jia? Isn't someone swindling? ”
Seeing that the young man was silent for a while, the shopkeeper sighed and said: "Yes, before the prince of King Jia came to apprentice, and gave gifts to those poor ghosts, he lamented that the courtyard was too small, but those poor ghosts received gifts from others, but they also broke a penny in half and spent it, and they were reluctant to change the house, and the prince of King Jia actually let it go." is still the ninth prince is generous, and it is gold as soon as he makes a move. ”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper looked at the young man who suddenly realized and said, "It's a loss that you are not greedy, this money is for the ninth prince to change the house for Shengongmen, not for you to spend it yourself!" Go, clean up the yard that was vacated before, and I'll give you a reward of 100 wen in a while!" ”
"It's only a hundred ......" The young man was stunned on his face, but his heart was happy.
Although compared to a hundred bounty, the gold is obviously much more valuable. But one is that he is intercepted without permission, and he is likely to be discovered, and maybe he will be accused to the government, and the other is so comfortable that he will be so greedy? When he hurriedly ran to clean the largest courtyard of the inn, he even carefully considered whether he wanted to be close to the people of the Shengong Gate.
If he can learn some martial arts, maybe he can be a hero in the future? In the future, accept a noble disciple as an apprentice, and it is exciting to think about it!
Of course, Yue Qianqiu didn't know that he threw out a piece of money casually, suggesting that the inn would change the room for Shengongmen, which would cause so many divine associations between the shopkeeper and the guys. It's just that, as Elder Qu said, the courtyard where Shengongmen lives is not only not well oriented, but the square courtyard is also extremely cramped, the east wing is independent, and the west wing is actually connected to the main house.
And in such a small place, with a total of only four rooms, there lived a total of two elders and six disciples of the Divine Bow Sect.
Although he knew that it was a bit rude, Bai Bufan, who was outspoken and fast-talking, couldn't help but ask: "Elder Qu, I heard from the Ninth Prince that the number of people from each sect and faction entering Beijing this time is different, ranging from three or four people to more than ten or twenty people. Since you said that you are stretched, wouldn't it be okay to bring a few fewer people? ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Bufan was met with all the eyes of the young disciples of the Divine Bow Sect. Not only that, but even Yue Qianqiu also rewarded this guy who didn't understand the world with a contemptuous look.
Elder Qu immediately smiled bitterly, but Elder Ying on the side sighed very helplessly.
"Bai Gongzi doesn't know, the Shengongmen has been getting worse and worse over the years, and the travel expenses and accommodation expenses for eight people are indeed extraordinary, but before the senior brother and I had a big quarrel, he kept saying that he would not come to participate in this so-called grand event of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the senior brother was angry, so he and I brought out their respective disciples, thinking that they would come to Beijing to see it."
"It's not just insight." In front of Li Chongming and Yue Qianqiu Bai Bufan, Elder Qu simply said truthfully, "The place where the Shengong Gate is located is just a small county town in Yan'an Prefecture, and everyone mainly practices archery, and there has been very little interaction with other people in the martial arts, so if you don't come out again, I'm afraid that you will become a person who rests on his laurels and sits in a well and watches the sky." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the spear in Bai Bufan's hand, and suddenly said: "Because most of the Divine Bow Sect practices archery, they can't find anyone who practices other weapons to practice with them, I'm really ashamed to be an elder!" I have a reluctant request, can you ask the Ninth Prince and Bai Gongzi to point out to me and the four apprentices of Senior Brother Ying? ”
Li Chongming couldn't wait to take this opportunity to get closer to the relationship between Shengongmen and Yue Qianqiubai, his eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately wanted to open his mouth. However, what he met was Bai Bufan, who would explode without lighting at all, and this general, who had been holding back at home for too long, jumped up.
"I don't dare to ask for ears!"
