Chapter Forty-Seven: The Court and the Rivers and Lakes (Two in One)
Ren Dong has a strange name, moving, but very quiet.
He didn't call this name, he was originally from a big family in Qishan, his grandfather was a general, but unfortunately his father and brother touched the law of unforgiveness and beheaded him, he was still young at the time, and the general who led people to raid the house that day did not have a dead hand, so he simply asked him to live with great hardship, or was he willing to die completely.
Ren Dong, who was only five years old, chose the path of life with tears on his face.
was sent to the palace, lost its original name, and became a movement.
Later, because of his big background, he was born white and smart, and he was adopted by an old eunuch of some grades, and when the old eunuch was in his fifties, he got his surname back, and he became Ren Dong, and when the old eunuch was dying, he used a lifetime of cautious incense to send him to the prince's mansion and became Li Changxing's personal person.
A few years ago, when he went out of Fufeng, it was Li Sheng, the laughing tiger next to the emperor, and the half-step grandmaster followed, so he stayed in the prince's mansion to practice martial arts with a few old eunuchs.
I'm afraid that for the rest of his life, if he doesn't have any chances, he won't be able to go to the third grade, and the fourth grade is enough to choke, and he is more likely to be like the laughing tiger Li Sheng, leaving a pair of miserable white eyes sequelae, but after all, this is a long time later.
Just because of the introduction of martial arts, this time when he went out of Tianjing City, he also followed Li Changxing, and in addition, there were two dead soldiers hidden in secret.
One of these two dead soldiers is a swordsman, and the other is a killer who is proficient in all kinds of secret weapons, before entering the prince's mansion, they are all famous murderers in the rivers and lakes, and one of them is a small grandmaster of the fourth grade, desperately, even if it is Zhuguo, he can delay a stick of incense before dying.
It's just that Fang Cai's hand of the knife, whether it was Ren Dong, who was taught martial arts by Ouchi, or the dead soldier hidden in the dark, did not notice the slightest sign at all, and when he reacted, that hand had already fallen on Li Changxing's forehead, which made several people feel a sigh in their hearts, and immediately gave birth to a little cold sweat.
There is also a lot of jealousy and attention to the young man in the ordinary blue shirt. I guess in my heart that it is not a big man who has intersected with the prince on the rivers and lakes?
Otherwise, how can he make the eldest grandson of the emperor of the dynasty call him uncle, Ren Dong's heart is even more volatile, he is different from the two dead soldiers from the rivers and lakes, he has been in the palace for a few years.
The position of the stepfather among the eunuchs is just the deputy supervisor who takes care of the flower garden and garden, but because his status is not high, and he knows the strict rules of the palace, he is like layers of closed cobwebs, shrouding everyone's body, from the emperor's relatives and relatives, princes and generals, to the servants and attendants who may be punished at will, they cannot escape this big net.
In this net, everyone's speech and behavior must conform to the rules and etiquette, even the people in the rivers and lakes who have been in the same era as the crown prince, it is impossible for the emperor's eldest grandson to take the initiative to salute and call his uncle, the weight of the word uncle is extremely heavy, and the whole world, that is, several highnesses are qualified to let the emperor's eldest grandson call an uncle.
Li Changxing didn't know that he was secretly protecting his people's hearts, Zhou Shen invited everyone in, and sent his disciples to pour tea, chatting with Li Changxing while secretly looking at Wang Anfeng.
Although Ye Xuan is in the rivers and lakes, he has an old relationship with many Confucian families in the court, there is a Ye Xuan disciple who learns to be rich and rich in five cars, and enters the court as an official, and there are also officials in the court who are tired of the world.
Zhou Shen had stayed in Tianjing City for a period of time when he was young, and his poems were ordinary, but Danqing was unique and famous, and there are still many nobles in the court who were proud of Zhou Shen's landscape paintings.
When Li Changxing was still young, the old man had resisted the prince's invitation three times, went down the mountain into the house, enlightened Li Changxing's painting skills, temporarily served as a guest secretary, and returned to the mountain after three years.
It's just that he never thought that Li Changxing would appear here.
I don't understand why my apprentice, who was accepted by love, would have an extra 'uncle', and I couldn't stop muttering to myself.
Judging by their age, they are not the prince's brothers......
Strange, weird.
Li Changxing since he left Fufeng a few years ago, he has never seen Wang Anfeng again, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to leave Tianjing City, and now he is reunited after a long absence, and his words are quite cheerful, but although he is happy, he actually doesn't know much, but he knows that Wang Anfeng's father was the marshal of Tiance Mansion back then, and he is a friend of life and death with the current emperor.
However, the affairs of Shenwu Mansion are very involved, and they can't talk about it more, because they can't say a few words, and they are biased to the things on the rivers and lakes, Wang Anfeng casually asked why he is here, Li Changxing immediately poured bitter water, saying that he was only sixteen years old, and he studied literature and martial arts every day from morning to night, assessed current affairs, and was not free all day.
And before he could reach the crown, his father was already planning to find a wife for himself.
A few years ago, it was okay.,Every few days this year, iju has a girl of the same age come to the door.,Or enjoy the scenery together.,Or invite each other to go out.,Lantern Festival poetry will have many talented girls looking for him to be alone.,He doesn't feel charming and moving.,Only the feeling of numbness on the scalp.。
This time it was not easy to run out, speaking of which, Li Changxing raised his hand to support his forehead, muttering in his mouth that he was going to find a Jianghu woman to take back, it would be best if he could block his father's mouth, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Li Changxing just complained casually, but the two masters who were hidden in the dark only felt that their scalps were numb.
The people of Great Qin are open, but Li Changxing's identity is different, if the heir to the throne of the next generation of empires really finds a heroine to go back to be the future princess, the two of them can think of the fate of being beaten with their third leg broken after going back, so that the future prince will find a woman on the rivers and lakes, and the two of them will no longer have to find a woman.
Li Changxing sighed in self-pity for a while, and couldn't say a few words, so the topic turned to his Aunt Qiwu, holding the tea cup, sighing, and said:
"My Aunt Qiwu looks very good, but for some reason, I was fascinated by stories like Jianghu scripts last year, and I have a soft spot for the knife maniac in the rivers and lakes.
"Grandpa once said a few words about her, and he also fooled my aunt ......"
"Alas...... Could it be true that you are planning to find a ranger? ”
The eldest grandson of the young emperor sighed with great sorrow, a pair of black eyes through the soft curly black hair, secretly looked at Wang Anfeng, a cheap uncle, and saw that the latter was completely silent, and said:
"By the way, uncle, you walk the rivers and lakes, have you ever heard of this knife maniac? It is said that the knife maniac is the top player in this generation of rivers and lakes, but he is limited to his age, his record is not obvious, and he ranks behind on the peerless list, uncle, your martial arts are so strong, have you ever competed with him? ”
"I think about it, my uncle's martial arts must be stronger than him."
The voice paused, and the thief was not dead, and added:
"Then after I return to the palace, I will talk to my aunt more about you, and my aunt may not like Jianghu Dialect Ranger and the like that much, and my grandfather and father will not have those headaches."
Wang Anfeng didn't blink his eyelids, and said lightly:
"Knife maniac?"
"Not familiar."
"I've never seen it."
"There's no chance to fight him."
Li Changxing sighed with regret on his face.
Zhou Shen noticed something strange in Wang Anfeng's tone, and only said that this young man who was quite insightful in the way of Danqing was depressed because he was weaker than the sword maniac, and he stroked his beard and said with relief:
"Although the sword maniac is not very old, he is already a first-class martial artist in the world, in the rivers and lakes of Daqin, the Western Regions, and the Northern Xinjiang, those who are qualified to put the right person with him can be counted with a few hands, and his sword skills are violent, and he is ruthless, and he will either die or be injured when he fights with him."
"Then a man will be like a fire, which can be seen from afar, but if he is near, he will be burned by the flames."
"You must know that the rivers and lakes are big, after all, they are not just the rivers and lakes of swords."
Wang Anfeng nodded, and said with a warm smile: "What the old gentleman said is true." ”
Zhou Shen saw that he had never been annoyed by the mention of the knife maniac, and the appreciation in his eyes was even greater, he laughed a few times, and was so happy that he simply asked his disciple to take out a few picture scrolls and invite him to enjoy them.
In the middle, Li Changxing planned to sneak out to avoid the old man's teaching, but he failed to succeed, and was forced to stand between the two, only to feel that he had not worked hard to learn Danqing all these years, and the two people next to him spoke like falling into a cloud, and they couldn't understand half a sentence, which was really difficult.
After about an hour, Wang Anfeng got up to say goodbye.
Li Changxing was pulled in the house, Zhou Shen personally sent him out of the courtyard, and happened to see the people in the Big Ink Stele Forest walking by, a group of white-clothed girls flew like pink butterflies, surrounding the black-clothed young man, Zhou Shen's eyes showed a trace of disgust, stopped, and waited until the Big Ink Stele Forest left, then shook his head and sighed, and said:
"When the old man was young, the king of martial arts was still on the throne, the big ink stele forest was masculine and vast, and the rivers and lakes walked the world with strong palm kung fu, not inferior to Tianlong, but it was a pity that he lived in seclusion for thirty years, and the masculinity was completely dispersed, and even the next generation of the lord of the stele forest became so fat."
"The family background of the thirty-seven grandmaster of the Great Ink Tablet Forest will be defeated one day."
Saying that he was speechless, he shook his head, and said: "When the old man was instructed by the seniors in the big ink tablet forest, he was angry for a while, little brother Wang don't care, I will stay in the first village for a while, if the little brother is still interested in discussing Danqing with the old man during this time, come up at any time, and the old man will accompany him to the end." ”
Wang Anfeng clenched his fists, his lips buzzed a few times, and no sound came out, and then he smiled slightly and said:
"Thank you for your kindness."
"Juniors say goodbye."
After Wang Anfeng left, Zhou Shen stood in the courtyard for a long time, his white eyebrows furrowed, but it was Wang Anfeng who told him about the White Tiger Hall by transmitting the sound into the secret method, and the first reaction in the old man's heart was not to believe it, but he thought of the situation in the rivers and lakes at the moment, but he felt that if he had such courage, it was very possible.
Moreover, since he can associate with the prince's peers, if he is not a good person, he is a person with excellent martial arts, and the words of such a person naturally add a lot of credibility.
Zhou Shen's heart was surging and fluctuating for a while, it was difficult to make up his mind, he stood for a long time, and when he turned around, he saw Li Changxing walking out of the house, leaning on the railing, holding a piece of pastry in his hand, the old man's heart moved slightly, and he stepped forward and asked, "Changxing ......"
"Your Uncle Wang, who is he......?"
Li Changxing's eyes rolled and he smiled:
"Didn't my uncle tell him?"
Zhou Shen nodded and said, "The two of us just met at the pavilion on the mountain to discuss Danqing." I didn't ask him about his identity. ”
The young emperor's eldest grandson threw the delicate pastry in his hand into his mouth, clapped his hands, patted off the fine powder that could be stuck to his palm, and then jumped off the railing, and said with a smile:
"Since Uncle Wang didn't name his identity, naturally there is his uncle's own reason, I am a junior, sir, how can I disobey the plans of my elders? This is contrary to what you gentlemen have taught. ”
Zhou Shen stroked his beard slightly, and said:
"This ......"
Li Changxing said again: "I think if my uncle plans to let Mr. know, he will definitely tell Mr., right?" Well, Mr. is not a person who will inquire about the private affairs of others, and suddenly asked about the identity of his uncle, I think it was Uncle Wang who said something? ”
The boy scratched his soft black hair and smiled:
"Well, after all, this is a matter involving the rivers and lakes, so I won't ask Mr."
"However, Uncle Wang once stayed in the Fufeng School Palace, and it is said that the relationship with Ren Changge's seniors was okay back then, since it was the uncle who said it, then Mr. still has to pay more attention to it...... Uncle, he's not a guy who talks nonsense. ”
Zhou Shen's expression changed, and he nodded slightly.
Li Changxing smiled, arched his hand, and turned around to leave.
The old man suddenly spoke and said, "Wait a minute......
Li Changxing stopped sideways and said, "Sir, is there anything else?" ”
Zhou Shen stroked his beard, looked solemn, and said with his eyebrows: "I seem to be ignorant when I talk about Danqing under the hall, and I am afraid that I have not paid attention to it over the years, since you call me a sir, naturally I can't be ashamed of these two words, after today, you will take an hour to come here every day to review your homework." ”
The smile on the young man's face instantly collapsed.
“??!”
It wasn't until an hour later that Li Changxing was released from the Yiye Xuan Courtyard, only to feel that his head was full of various techniques of Danqing, which was stuffed to the brim, and it was rare to have such a headache after leaving the Prince's Mansion.
"It's bitter and bitter, I wanted to pretend to be profound, but I grabbed my husband to review my homework, do you think I was lifting a stone and hitting my own feet this time?"
Ren Dong said softly: "Mr. Zhou is also for the good of His Highness." ”
Li Changxing smiled bitterly, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Everyone says it's for my good, but no one has asked me if I like to follow this kindness?" ”
The voice fell, and he was speechless, so he shook his head with a pretended smile and said:
"However, I didn't expect to meet Uncle Wang this time."
Ren Dong said: "That Wang Daxia ......"
Li Changxing noticed the curiosity and hesitation in Ren Dong's words, laughed out loud, and said:
"You're curious, aren't you? Want to know? ”
Ren Dong said respectfully: "I have heard all the orders of His Highness, and my subordinates dare not speculate secretly." ”
Li Changxing rubbed his hair and muttered, "What is there that you don't dare, he...... Mr. Zhou Shen always studies Danqing brushwork in Yiye Xuan, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he can't guess it, and he can't guess the identity, and he can't even guess it. ”
The young man raised his head, looked at the scenery under the first village, and muttered:
"I said that my uncle can beat the knife maniac, not to praise him......"
"I really think he can do it."
………………
After Wang Anfeng came out of Yiye Xuan, his expression was a little gloomy, and he felt that the situation in the first village was not optimistic, and the suddenly extra Li Changxing was, to some extent, almost not inferior to the variables of the White Tiger Hall, the eldest son of the current prince, and the court's comments on this emperor's eldest grandson seemed to be excellent.
Twenty years ago.
Today's prince is just a teenager, the first owner of the village celebrated his birthday, and the prince personally came to celebrate his birthday.
This is clearly the future heir of the empire, and the first force in the rivers and lakes is in contact, it is the joint tacit understanding between the court and the rivers and lakes, the last time it was the prince, this time the new owner of the first village in the world is on the throne, that is, the emperor's eldest grandson, at least to form a good relationship with Si Kou Tingfeng.
Think about it, if Li Changxing has a problem here.
Wang Anfeng dispelled this thought, didn't think about it anymore, and when he returned to the courtyard, two visitors left disappointed, silently wrote down their faces and identities, pushed the door in, and noticed the four qi machines.
When I entered the door again, I heard Libo's hearty laughter, and saw an ink-colored disc in Dongfang Ximing's arms, which was divided into several grids, each with some delicate snacks.
There was an extra jar of wine in his hand.
On one side stood the sword-wielding disciple who had delivered a message to Wang Anfeng, and a woman sat next to the table.
Dressed in a white suit, with black hair like ink, and a cold and ordinary expression, when chatting with Libo, he handed the pastry in his hand to Dongfang Ximing affectionately, and when he saw the latter open his mouth and knotted it, he didn't see any life, and the woman had a smile on her face.
And when he noticed that Wang Anfeng pushed the door in, the smile was retracted, as if nothing had happened, he withdrew his right hand that wiped the scum from the corner of Ximing's mouth, put it beside him, raised his eyes to look at Wang Anfeng, did not say hello, opened his mouth and went straight to the point, and said:
"I heard the disciple say that you are looking for me? Leave a tip behind? ”
Wang Anfeng nodded, but immediately noticed Si Kou Tingfeng's much paler face than usual, frowned slightly, and said something that almost made the sword-wielding disciple next to him lose his mind, and said:
"You're hurt?"
