Volume 2: A Laugh in the Sea Chapter 156: Dense Drum and Secret Planning
013-12-30
Chen Sheng thought about it and found that although there were a lot of things at the moment, when it came to it seriously, he would either still focus on waiting for the time being, or he could arrange for Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong to do it. (Money Man.) What really needs to be done by yourself seems to be none. So the proposal to practice in retreat for a period of time...... Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Not bad." Boss, how do you say we should retreat? β
Ba Feng said with a cold smile: "Those who practice martial arts, many people inspire each other, it is definitely better than groping alone. Unfortunately, I have never been able to find someone with whom I can compete with each other and whom I fully trust. But now, of course, it's a different story. has also received the baptism of He's ability, if the world says that the physique is similar, I believe that no one can compare to the two of us. So ......"
Chen Sheng didn't wait for him to finish, he already knew his thoughts. At the moment, he said: "As long as we can abandon everything, concentrate on martial arts, study each other, and use our own strengths to make up for each other's shortcomings, then I believe that as long as we have ten days and eight days to fully tap the potential in our bodies, I believe that we will be able to beat the efforts of others for ten years and eight years, so that our own cultivation can progress by leaps and bounds in the shortest possible time." Right? β
Ba Fenghan's pair of sharp eyes flashed with a cold and chilling killing intent and nodded, "Not bad." Because we are young, our cultivation is already improving. As long as there is a new stimulus, it is not difficult to go a long way. And this is something that no one would ever think of. β
Chen Sheng casually took He's Bi back into the box and put it in his arms, and said categorically: "Okay! Then it was decided. Since we are going to retreat, let's not stay in Luoyang City. There are so many people here that it's hard to settle down. Let's go out of town. One is to retreat and practice, and the other is to retreat and advance. It made Wang Shichong and those people in the Demon Gate unable to catch our actions. β
Ba Fenghan nodded and said, "It's just ten rΓ¬." Lao Chen, where do you think it's best to go for retreat? β
Chen Sheng groaned: "There are three famous places inside and outside Luoyang City. The first place, of course, is the White Horse Temple. The second place is the north of Luoyang City, the Laojun Temple on the top of the Cui Peak of the North Mountain. As for the third place, it is the Longmen Grottoes. This grotto is located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang not far from Longmen Mountain, very close to Luoyang. We can always come back if something happens. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, flexible and convenient. β
Ba Fenghan has no objections. It's time to finalize it. And it was this decision that prompted them to take another big step on the arduous road of pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts. This is what neither of them expected at this moment-
Tianjin Yuliu Bi is far away, and Xuan rides from half the court.
As mentioned earlier, the structure of Luoyang City is divided into three parts. They are the outer city, the imperial city, and the palace city. Among them, the gate at the south end of the imperial city is called Suzaku Gate. Between it and the Dingding Gate of the outer city, it is connected by a road that is seven or eight miles long, spacious and straight, and magnificent. This avenue is known as the Heavenly Street. On both sides of the willow-lined street, there are thousands of pavilions, the bell tower and drum tower look at each other in the distance, and all kinds of shops are in sight.
This Tianjie Avenue is combined with Luoshui, which runs through Luoyang, to form a "ten" character, which divides Luoyang City into four major regions: southeast, northwest and northwest. At the intersection of Luoshui and Tianjie, it is the "Tianjin Bridge" designed by Lu Miaozi, the world's first skilled craftsman. This bridge is extremely ingenious and can be opened and closed. In the 21st century, such bridges are certainly not uncommon. But in the sixth century A.D., it was an incredible miracle.
In the south of Tianjin Bridge, there is a very famous restaurant called Dongjia Restaurant. The restaurant also covers a very spacious area. The ground in the front yard is enough to park dozens of carriages, and the main building of the restaurant is as high as three floors, and the box on the top floor is not open. Only high-ranking officials and nobles with extremely high status can get a box here to entertain guests.
On the top floor of Dongjia Restaurant, a luxury box located in the south wing, is the most special of all the boxes. There are two small flower halls on the left and right, separating it from the other wings. As long as you don't deliberately tear your throat and shout, the people in the side room next to you will definitely not be able to hear this side talking.
At this moment, Wang Shichong, who had changed into civilian clothes, was sitting here. The private room, which used to hold 10 tables of banquets, now has only one table at the window. Outside the window is the Luo River, the view is superb. But at this moment, Wang Shichong had no intention of enjoying the scenery, but just raised his glass and drank alone. Next to her is Dong Shuni, who is dressed in a dignified dress. Linglongjiao, Ke Fengdaoren, Chen Changlin and other three henchmen will stand on the side. In fact, there were quite a few people, but there was a dull atmosphere at the banquet, and no one spoke at all.
Suddenly, outside the door of the wing room, there was a regular knock on the door with a regular "tuk tuk tuk ~". The guard who was in charge of guarding the door outside said respectfully: "Prince Qiqi, the guest has arrived." Before the words fell, Wang Shichong, who was about to pour wine again, immediately put down the wine glass, stood up suddenly, instantly changed into an enthusiastic expression, and shouted: "Please, please." β
After a few moments, I heard footsteps coming from the stairwell. The door of the wing room opened, and Wang Shichong personally stepped forward to greet him, and Daxiao said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, look up for a long time." The old man has been waiting for a long time. β
Wang Shichong was waiting for seven or eight men who were all strong and majestic. The young man headed by is heroic and heroic, and it is Li Shimin. According to the latest news, Li Yuan, who occupies Guanzhong, finally can't bear it anymore and wants to be emperor in the New Year. The country name is Tang. Feng's eldest son Li Jiancheng became the crown prince, the second son Li Shimin was the king of Qin, and the third son Li Yuanji was the king of Qi. Although there is still more than half a month before the New Year, things have been finalized and will not change. Therefore, Wang Shichong called Li Shimin His Royal Highness the King of Qin in advance, which was not only to show affection, but also to imply that he knew Li Valve's movements well, which was not a small disadvantage.
Li Shimin didn't care about this kind of dismounting. smiled slightly, and also stepped forward to hug his fist and call Zheng Guogong, giving Wang Shi enough face. Then he introduced him to the confidants behind him. In addition to Li Jing and Wei Chigong, there is also a polite Confucian scholar, who is Li Shimin's brother-in-law and grandson Wuji. There is another woman dressed in red with a cold and arrogant temperament, who calls herself a red whisk girl and marries Li Jing as his wife.
As early as the beginning of Li Valve's army in Taiyuan, Li Shimin had already established a dúlì organization of his own, called Tiance Mansion, and recruited talents to work for himself under his command from various sources. Li Jing, Hongfu Nu, Wei Chigong, and Changsun Wuji are all jīng Ying in Tiance Mansion. The rest of the military and political talents are not concerned for the time being, but looking at the appearance of these people, it is clear that they have all reached the realm of jīng qi and belong to first-class masters.
Wang Shichong welcomed Li Shimin and others into the box, and sat down (the generals of Tiance Mansion could only stand behind with Linglongjiao and others). Wang Shichong poured wine for Li Shimin with his own hands. The two drank three full cups of each other, each daxiao. Wang Shichong took the lead and said, "King Qin, the old man invited you to come over today, not for anything else, but for me, my niece." β
He reached out and patted Dong Shuni on the shoulder twice, and sighed: "I only have one sister in my life, and she went early, leaving only Shuni as a child." Now in this situation, there are many soldiers everywhere, and I, Zheng Guogong, don't know when I can do it. Everything else is easy to say, but this kid really teaches me to rest assured. If I can find a good family for her as soon as possible and entrust her with her life, I will die blindly. King Qin, what do you think of my niece? β
Li Shimin said generously: "Miss Dong's Tianxiang Country is indeed difficult to find in the world. β
Dong Shuni is an amorous and emotional woman. Seeing that Li Shimin was a talent, he had already thought about him. Hearing this imposing man praise herself, she couldn't help but rejoice. pretended to be shy and quietly bowed his head, but secretly looked at Li Shimin from the corner of his eye, and the more he looked, the more happy he became. Over there, Wang Shichong smiled and said, "Thank you King Qin for your compliment." Alas, I know that King Qin already has a wife in his family. The posture of my niece Pu Liu is not enough to live long. Then let her be a side concubine for King Qin, and then serve King Qin at night, how about it? β
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said: "How dare a talent like Miss Dong climb high?" What's more, just being a side concubine, isn't it too aggrieved Miss Dong? β
Wang Shichong's face sank and said, "You don't want to?" Then Tang Guogong sent someone to propose to me last month, what happened? Could it be that you two fathers and sons are playing tricks on the old man? His right hand slammed down on the table, causing the glasses and dishes to clink. Although Li Yuan is about to become emperor, Wang Shichong himself also wants to be emperor. Therefore, he refused to ask Li Yuan to be the emperor, and still called him the old title of Duke of Tang.
Li Shimin smiled a little bitterly and said, "Zheng Guogong, please calm your anger." My father sent someone to propose marriage, which was sincere, and there was no intention of teasing. However, Zheng Guogong also had some misunderstandings. The one who wants to marry Miss Dong Shuni is not the brother who is under or below, but the father himself. β
Dong Shuni exclaimed, looked up and said in amazement: "What? That bad old man? "She'd seen Li Yuan before. In all fairness, Li Yuan himself is also good-looking, and when he was young, he was a famous beautiful man in the imperial court. But after all, he is now in his fifties, a little older than Wang Shichong, and he is more than enough to be Dong Shuni's father. How could Dong Shuni marry such an old friend?
Wang Shichong was also very surprised. I knew that Li Yuan was good, but I didn't expect him to be so good. But after thinking about it, if his niece can marry Li Yuan, then she will be an official imperial concubine, and her status will be much higher than that of King Qin's side concubine. In this way, the connection between himself and Li Valve is also closer, and of course, there are more benefits. Gritted his teeth vigorously at the moment and said, "Okay! Thanks to Tang Guogong, he looks up to my niece. I agreed to this family affair! β
Dong Shuni lost her face when she boarded, and blurted out: "What? Uncle, don't. I don't marry, and I don't want to marry that old man when I die! βββ
The Datang chapter is over in January, and everything that needs to be cut is cut off!
