Chapter 81 The Six Great Families of Martial Arts
In the bedroom of the Red Calyx Building, Rui'er was lying flat on the bed, her face so white that there was no trace of blood. Seeing Zhu Youzhen coming in, she was still struggling to sit up, but was gently held down by Bao Yulian and said, "Niangniang, your wound has not healed, you must recuperate, don't move!" ”
"Rui'er, what do you think? Does the wound still hurt? As soon as Zhu Youzhen asked, he was distressed and self-reproachful and shed tears, "It's all useless to me, a big man still needs his wife to protect him!" ”
"Don't do this, prince!" Rui'er reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "If it weren't for the prince's rescue, Rui'er would have died a long time ago." In Rui'er's heart, the prince is a big hero! ”
Zhu Youzhen said ashamedly: "I'm not a hero, I'm a bear!" Now that I've figured it out, this time it's Wei Zhongxian who set up a situation to harm me! But although I am a prince, I have nothing to do with him! ”
Rui'er hurriedly comforted him and said: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." Rui'er believes that evil cannot prevail over good, and the prince will one day be able to eradicate Wei Zhongxian and eliminate this great harm for the community! ”
Zhu Youzhen also gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves." Even if I am thinking about Wei Zhongxian, an old thing, as long as I have the opportunity, I will bite him hard, and I won't let go of my mouth when I bite it! ”
Although Rui'er was still very uncomfortable, she couldn't help but be amused by his words: "Lord Wang, why do you say that you are so unbearable!" It's a thief again, and it's a bite again, so the turtle bites and doesn't let go! Oops! …”
Bao Yulian saw Rui'er laughing and touching the wound, groaning in pain, and couldn't help but say to Zhu Youzhen: "Lord Wang! Look at you, the mother is like this, you are still joking! If the wound is broken, when the golden needle passes through the acupoint tonight, Yu Lian has to prick the needle deeper, so that you can also know how much pain Niangniang has! ”
"Okay, Sister Yulian, don't embarrass the prince!" Rui'er smiled ambiguously, "What the prince is most afraid of is my sister, the head of this family, sooner or later, I have to let my sister be the one!" ”
Looking at Bao Yulian, whose cheeks suddenly turned red, Zhu Youzhen had to smile bitterly: "Rui'er, didn't you say that there is something important?" ”
"Rui'er only cared about joy when she saw the prince, and almost delayed her business." Rui'er really looked solemn and said, "Sister Yulian, I have a few words to say to the prince, can you avoid it first?" ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled: "So mysterious? ”
Bao Yulian saw Rui'er speak, and immediately gave a salute, and silently exited the room, but there was a trace of sourness in her heart.
Rui'er saw that only the husband and wife were left in the room, and suddenly struggled to sit up, wanting to kneel for Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly helped her and said, "Didn't you say you can't move, why are you moving again?" The wound is broken, but it's no joke! ”
"The concubine deserves death!" Rui'er was already in tears at the moment, her delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help herself.
Zhu Youzhen said inexplicably: "Why did you cry?" What are your sins? ”
Rui'er sobbed and said, "The concubine hid her background from the prince before! ”
Zhu Youzhen actually drew a big question mark in his heart: How can Rui'er also do martial arts? It's just that I haven't had time to ask before, and when I saw Rui'er take the initiative to mention it, I listened to it.
Rui'er then said: "The concubine's father, Zhou Kui, was originally born in Gusu Zhouzhuang, one of the six great families of martial arts. Because she is a concubine, she has been squeezed out by her uncle Zhou Bin since she was a child. The old lady and uncle were afraid that their father would be full of wings in the future and snatch the position of the head of the family, so they came up with a poisonous plan.
"Although my father is strong in martial arts, he also has the problem of greedy for money and lust. The uncle hired a stunning woman to seduce his father, and he had been messing with his father for several years, and he was also involved in the vice of gambling money. The gambling game was also secretly designed by his uncle, who was bound to lose every gamble and owed a huge gambling debt.
At the woman's instigation, my father began to steal money from the house to pay off his debts. Then the uncle told the father to the grandfather, and the woman was nowhere to be found. The grandfather was furious and wanted to deal with his father's family law. In desperation, my father had to escape from Zhouzhuang with the young me and die in the world. In order to avoid the pursuit of the head of the family, he finally went to the Beijing Division, incognito, and made a living by divination and fortune telling. ”
"What about your mother?" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help asking.
"The concubine was born to that woman. She abandoned her father and concubines, and she is not worthy of being a mother! Rui'er couldn't stop crying when she said this.
Zhu You listened to this bizarre and bumpy life experience, and couldn't help but deeply sympathize with Rui'er, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to gently take her into his arms and say: "Okay, don't cry, don't cry!" All these things are in the past, and now they are all right! ”
Rui'er gradually stopped her grief and continued: "After that, my father accepted Senior Brother Yan as an apprentice. He set up a hexagram stall in the market during the day, and taught his senior brother and Rui'er martial arts at night. Later, the identity of his father was somehow known to the queen. coincided with the sudden emergency of the prince, and he wanted to get married immediately. Because the queen knew martial arts because of her concubines, she selected her concubines. If the prince's condition improves, the concubines can protect the prince in the future. ”
Zhu Youzhen was secretly surprised, thinking that the queen's mind was really too much. Rui'er was born as beautiful as a flower, and has superb martial arts, but also has red-green color blindness. How many people do you have to screen to select someone who meets all three criteria?! The odds are even lower than winning the jackpot! And he is a prince who is only a teenager, why does he let the queen bother so much?
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was silent, Rui'er thought that he was angry with herself, and sobbed and pleaded: "When the queen summoned the concubine, she specially ordered that the concubine should hide the martial arts from the prince, so as not to frighten the prince." But the concubine still feels that there should be no concealment from the prince, this is the crime of bullying the king, please punish the prince heavily! ”
Zhu Youzhen saw that Rui'er's pear blossoms were raining, Chu Chu was pitiful, and at this time he was snuggled in his arms, and he was even more delicate. This thing suddenly had a great sense of satisfaction, and said proudly: "Rui'er doesn't have to blame herself, the queen and you are doing this to hide people's eyes and ears and better protect me." I want to be a man, if I want a woman to protect me all day long, what kind of system will I become? Rui'er, rest assured, I will protect you in the future! ”
Rui'er saw that Zhu Youzhen didn't blame herself, and she also showed a rare manhood, so she immediately closed her eyes sweetly, leaned on Zhu Youzhen's chest and whispered: "The prince doesn't know martial arts, how can he protect others?" ”
Zhu Youzhen pretended to be angry and said: "You dare to look down on this king!" Who said that this king does not know martial arts? Anyway, after the detoxification of this king is completed, I will remediate you! When the time comes, don't blame this king for destroying flowers! ”
"Lord Wang! Rui'er's pale face was also dyed with a touch of blush because of shyness.
After Zhu Youzhen bragged about Niu X, he was also secretly ashamed. In fact, Rui'er is right, in addition to her noble status, she is basically a waste who is weak in both civil and military affairs.
In order to hide his embarrassment, he quickly diverted the topic and said: "You just said that you were born in one of the six great families of martial arts, can you tell your husband what is going on with these six families?" ”
Rui'er said softly: "Martial arts, also known as rivers and lakes, have always been full of sects, mixed with fish and dragons. Even famous factions such as Shaolin and Wudang, there are also people who rely on martial arts to do evil, and their excessive collection of apprentices is one of the important reasons.
"The martial arts family is different from these sects, martial arts are only passed on to the children of the family, not to the outside, and the men are not passed on to the women. All disciples are restrained by the head of the family, and if they commit adultery, they will be expelled from the court, and at worst, they will be enforced by the family law and the door will be cleared. Especially the six major families, the family rules are particularly strict, so they can be in the same vein, standing in the martial arts for hundreds of years without falling. ”
"Then how can you practice martial arts again?" Zhu Youzhen asked.
"My father has been removed from the Zhou family, and he is not a member of the family, so he didn't abide by those family rules." Rui'er said gloomily.
Zhu Youzhen saw that Rui'er was sad again, and hurriedly interrupted: "But I don't know which six great families it is?" ”
Rui'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and when she talks about things related to martial arts, she is very interested, and immediately introduces them like a few treasures: "These six families are Yunnan Muwangfu, Fujian Zheng family, Gusu Zhouzhuang, Hejian Majiabao, Tieling Li family and Shandong Qijiajun.
"This Mu Wangfu is the founding father of our dynasty, after King Muying of Qianning, his descendants have guarded Yunnan for generations, and the head of the family has been crowned the 'Duke of Qianguo'. Because of his most noble status, he is also respected as the head of the six great families.
"Although the Zheng family in Fujian is a rising star, it is now the most powerful, crisscrossing the East and the South Seas, and the current head of the family is Zheng Zhilong.
"Gusu Zhouzhuang, which is where my father was born, is located in the water town south of the Yangtze River, with beautiful scenery. The earliest head of the family was Shen Wansan, who was later assigned to Yunnan for his crimes, and his family changed his surname to Zhou in order to avoid trouble.
"The origin of the Ma family's martial arts in Hejian, and today's martial arts sect Xingyi Gate, Bagua Gate, and Taiji Gate are inextricably linked with it.
"Tieling Li originated from North Korea, because it is located in the north, he has a fierce temperament, and he is skilled in martial arts immediately after stepping down, and he is unique among the six great families. Since Li Chengliang, the head of the family in the Wanli period, became the general of the border pass, he has made many military exploits, and most of the disciples of the Li family have joined the border army, and the military power is great.
"Shandong Qijiajun is the only one among the six great families who can carry the word 'army'. During the Jiajing period, Qi Jiguang, the head of the family, led his soldiers to fight bravely against the Japanese in Zhejiang and Fujian, and was famous. But over the years, due to the withering of men, the momentum has not been as good as before. ”
Zhu Youzhen also read a lot of martial arts novels in his previous life, but they all thought it was the author's fabrication. He also thought that if there were really so many heroes, wouldn't it be okay to let those old swordsmen go into battle during the war? But the fact is that since the Tang Dynasty, China has repeatedly lost foreign wars, which shows that those chivalrous people only exist in books.
But I didn't expect that in this era, there are really so many martial arts sects, and I have also seen the terrifying martial arts of Lin Youkun, Zhou Kui, and the assassin Xu Xianzhen and others who fell from the sky. At this time, when I heard Rui'er say it again, I asked with great interest: "According to what you said, there are many sects in the world, so which sect has the most powerful martial arts?" ”
Rui'er smiled and said: "The martial arts in the world have their own merits, only the disciples who are not good at practice, and there are no bad martial arts." However, the six great families have regular competitions every year, and I heard that in recent years, it has always been the disciples of the Tieling Li family who have won the championship. ”
Zhu Youzhen was surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself that if the Li family was really so powerful, and there were many people who served as generals in Liaodong, how could they be defeated in the war with the Houjin army?
He was about to ask Rui'er for advice, but Lin Youkun's anxious call came from downstairs: "Your Highness can you go upstairs?" Sun Chuanting has 100,000 urgent affairs to ask to see His Highness! ”
