Chapter 216: Hunting
Cen Yunzhou scratched his head: "I heard Brother Xia say that this martial art was taught by Miss Xia's master. ”
Xuan Pinghou, who had been sitting silently next to him, shook his head: "This is impossible!" ”
Seeing that his son and grandson were looking at him, he explained: "Brother Shao's kung fu, I know that this set of martial arts is definitely not from the Shao family. ”
Hearing this, the old lady Xuan Pinghou said: "The mother-in-law surnamed Shao who taught Miss Xia medical skills is not Brother Shao's sister or family. ”
Xia Jin changed his words when he faced the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but the specific situation was as clear as Bao, and they couldn't be clearer. The aunt and grandmother of the Shao family lived well in Jiangnan, but later died of illness. The one who taught Xia Jin martial arts and medical skills was only surnamed Shao, and he had nothing to do with General Shao's family.
Xuan Ping was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Our family owes Miss Xia too much." ”
"In the future, I will treat her as my own daughter, and the time we can make up for it is still long, and my father should not be too guilty." Xiao Shi said busily.
When you think about it, don't you? has become a family, I will love her a little more in the future, and I will help the Xia family more, just feeling guilty in my heart is useless.
"You send someone to welcome the Xia family and his wife." Xuan Pinghou turned his head and ordered Cen Changan.
"Yes, my son saved." Cen Changan respectfully agreed.
"Okay, I still have to discuss business with my subordinates, so I won't say more." Xuan Pinghou stood up.
Everyone sent him out, and Fang dispersed. No one mentioned that Xia Jin wanted to pass on her martial arts to Cen Yunzhou, so that she could do a lot of life-saving kung fu.
Cen Ziman didn't know that his grandfather, father, and second brother were going to go to the border soon. She went back to the room with Xia Jin, chatted happily for a while, and then rested.
Xia Jin couldn't sleep peacefully.
After fighting with Cen Yunzhou, she learned a set of boxing techniques that are said to be the top in the world, coupled with this observation of the masters sent to protect her in the palace, she has a general understanding of the level of martial arts in this world.
If the internal force is deep. Real high-fives, there may be many masters in this world who are better than her, even Xuanping Hou and Xuanping Hou's son Cen Changan. Not weaker than her in this regard. But when it comes to the weirdness and subtlety of her body, there are few people in this world who can be stronger than her. And about murder, running for your life, poisoning, and disguise. and suddenly and suddenly caused death, and no one can match her.
Her ability is the essence of thousands of years of martial arts, and she is still professional in doing this.
Therefore, even if the emperor withdrew several masters who had sent people to protect her last night, she did not have any anxiety and slept peacefully until dawn.
Only tonight, she couldn't sleep.
Because on the roof of the main house next to it. There was another man, and he stayed there motionless, not like a ranger passing by.
Would you like to go up and have a look?
She hesitated.
This capital is not as good as Linjiang, and the masters are like clouds. Needless to say, the masters of the big interior, the nursing homes of high-ranking officials and nobles may be the masters of folk martial arts. And the Cen family's Xuan Pinghou and the son Cen Chang'an also have deep internal strength. If she wanders around at night, she may be spotted if she is not careful.
What's more, the court has always been treacherous and full of methods. The water in the capital is the most muddy in the world. When she goes out, it is difficult to ensure that she will not encounter some shady deeds, killing someone at night, stealing or something. Commonplace. She is the daughter of a small common people, she just needs to live a peaceful and stable life, why get into these troubles?
The emperor's destiny in this place is greater than the sky, and in order to save a patient, she caused the trouble of being banned in the capital and not allowed to go out. Then it is necessary to hide some skills. It's something that is used to save lives at critical times, and it can't be easily known.
So since she arrived in the capital, she has stayed in the house and slept honestly at night, and it is no longer like in Linjiang City, where she wanders around the world at night.
There was a man on the roof at this time. In Linjiang, she would have gotten up to see what was going on. But now I can't make up my mind. I don't know if I should go up and have a look.
In the end, she decided to close her eyes and go to sleep. Ignore him.
If the man ran up to her roof, she would be alert.
A good night's sleep.
When she opened her eyes at dawn, the man on the roof had left at some point.
After breakfast the next day, Cen Ziman took a hufu suit with great interest and handed it to Xia Jin: "Quick, change it, I'll take you to hunt." ”
"Hunting?" Xia Jin was surprised.
I didn't hear Cen Ziman talk about it yesterday.
"It was my cousin who sent her mother-in-law over early in the morning, saying that everyone was going to hunt in the North Hunting Ground on a whim, and asked me if I was interested in going together. I've always said I'll take you hunting, and now I finally have a chance. ”
Xia Jin was also happy, changed his Hu clothes, and asked, "Apart from the two of us, who else is going?" ”
If it's convenient, she wants to take Xia Qi to have a look. Boys, you must see more of the world to have the courage. If Cen Yunzhou and Xia Qi could go together, it would be great.
"My brother isn't available." Cen Ziman's face drooped, "There is going to be a war at the border pass, he will be pulled out in a few days, and he is very busy now." ”
"Got a war?" Xia Jin was taken aback.
War is always unsettling.
Cen Ziman nodded: "Not only my second brother, but also my grandfather and my father, they all have to go." ”
Xia Jin's expression became solemn.
She likes the Cen family very much, and sincerely hopes that Xuan Ping and a few others can come back safely.
"I have to thank you, brother." Cen Ziman looked at Xia Jin and said very seriously, "My brother rehearsed the kung fu he learned from your brother to my father last night, and my father boasted that the tricks were exquisite, and the lives of our family members were protected." When you see your brother, thank him on my behalf. ”
"Well, when I see him, I'll tell him this." Xia Jin said.
said so, but he made up his mind in his heart, and he would not preface Cen Ziman in front of Xia Qi in the future, nor would he let them have more contact.
"Do you want your brother to go hunting? If he goes, I'll let my cousin accompany him, and he'll be resting tonight anyway. Cen Ziman said again.
"Okay." Xia Jin nodded. Although he didn't want Xia Qi to meet Cen Zimando, he went out hunting, and men and women were not together. And let Xia Qi be more distracted and contact other girls, which is also good for him to forget that little bit of youth and cuteness.
Cen Ziman asked people to inform Xia Qi and Su Muxian.
After a meal, everyone gathered at the gate, Xia Jin and Cen Ziman did not take the carriage again this time, but each rode a docile jujube red horse, and Xia Qi and Su Muxian rode a tall white horse.
At this time, Xia Qi was very grateful to his sister, and on the way from Linjiang to the capital, he forced him to learn to ride a horse in a short time. Now his skillful horseback riding skills at least do not make him embarrassed in front of outsiders.
The four of them didn't talk much, they each saluted, Cen Ziman told Su Mu the location again, and the group of four galloped away from the city.
The North Hunting Ground is on the periphery of the royal hunting grounds, fifty miles outside the city. When Xia Jin and his entourage went out of the city gate, they met a few noble girls and noble sons, Cen Ziman stepped forward to ask, and only then did he know that today's hunting activity was initiated by the county lord of Jianing, and many people were invited. In addition to the sons and daughters of the nobles, she also invited the sons and ladies of many official eunuchs.
Cen Ziman frowned, and muttered to Xia Jin: "What the hell is she doing?" ”
When Su Muxian heard that it was an activity initiated by the county lord of Jianing, his face was not very good-looking, but he didn't say no.
Xia Jin knew what he was concerned about, and said to him: "If it's inconvenient for you to go, it doesn't matter. My brother will just be with us then. ”
Just now in Xuanping Houfu, when he walked from the inner courtyard to the door, Cen Ziman had already told Xia Jin about the rules of hunting. The atmosphere in the capital is open, and men and women are not as strict as those in Jiangnan. When hunting, men and women can also move together in a chaotic manner. Xia Qi is not familiar with the place in life, so it is naturally safer to be with her and Cen Ziman.
As for emotional matters, I can't take care of it at this time. You can't let Su Muxian get into trouble for the sake of your own family. And Su Mu can't go idle, so it's not appropriate to let Xia Qi go home with him. The avoidance is too obvious, which is easy to arouse Cen Ziman's suspicion.
Su Muxian listened to Xia Jin's words, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You know?" ”
These words were clueless, but Xia Jin understood and explained: "That day in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, we happened to see her fall into the water from a distance. ”
Su Muxian glanced at her with complicated eyes, nodded and said, "It's good that you know, then I won't go today." After a pause, he said, "Who knows what kind of bewitching son she will have today?" We can't afford to mess with the royal woman, so we can only hide. ”
"It's best to avoid it." Xia Jin said.
"Xia Gongzi, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you today. Another day, please drink to make amends. Su Muxian bowed his hand to Xia Qi, said hello to Cen Ziman again, and rode back to the city.
Cen Ziman looked back at him sullenly, turned his head and said, "Let's go." ”
When you go out, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. The three of them galloped on horseback, and after half an hour, they arrived at the North Hunting Ground.
And there, many young men and women have gathered.
"Aman, you're here too?"
"Aman, are you with us?"
Someone kept saying hello to Cen Ziman.
Cen Ziman politely refused one by one, turned his head and smiled proudly at Xia Jin: "I am good at kung fu, they are all willing to be on a team with me." ”
Xia Jin laughed dumbly.
Cen Ziman's fists and feet are also called kung fu, which shows that these noble sons and young ladies are useless.
But also, these people are pampered, can ride a stable horse, and shoot arrows without injuring people, which is already very remarkable, and I really can't have too high requirements for them.
And the rule of hunting has always been that whichever group hunts the most prey will have the most face, and can also get the bounty from the master's family. For these children of noble families, things don't matter, the most important thing is face.
Therefore, Cen Ziman, a woman who has a little kung fu, is very popular.
"My cousin said, let me be on a team with her." Cen Ziman looked around, looking for Xu Qing.
Xia Jin also helped to find it. Then Xu Qing didn't find it, and she unexpectedly saw Zheng Wanru in the crowd. (To be continued)
