Chapter 329: Crooked Defense
The two servants held the invitation in their hands and lowered their heads tightly, as if they were prepared for etiquette, but their eyes still couldn't help but follow Meng Qi's shadow.
This is too sensational to allow yourself not to be surprised or panicked!
As the servants of the Hou Mansion, they are not uncommon to see invitations from major families and important ministers, Hou Ye is the deputy marshal of the forbidden army in front of the palace, and the fifth master is one of the eight gods, if there is an important banquet, they can't get around.
But now that the second young master has just returned home, the invitation of the Langya Ruan family and the new governor of the government has been sent to the door, naming and naming names, what this means, everyone knows!
This is naked support!
It is a demonstration of the friendship between the two sides!
Otherwise, why should the banquet be chosen today?
It is appalling that the second young master can get the full support of the two great families!
"Shenwei Hou" Su Li's expression eased, and even relaxed slightly, the tense situation just now, the close to crazy wife, and the arrogant and untamable son all made his head hurt, his mother's idea was good, but his vision was limited to Shendu, and he seemed short-sighted after all.
"Since the Marquis of Langya's Mansion and Wang Shenzheng are warmly invited, Ziyuan, you don't have to lose your courtesy, if you don't have time to go, you must write a handwritten letter of apology. He was glad to see it happen, and changed his name to the king and his father.
Meng Qi had a headache instead, where should he go?
He took the invitation and took a closer look, and found that the Ruan family's invitation did not indicate a specific time, which means that you can come to the door at any time, and Wang Zai's father's invitation clearly said that it was a dinner party.
"Then go to the snack shop first and see if there is anything important......" he made a decision in an instant.
When he left the main house of the Su family, he only felt refreshed, and the affairs of this family were really a puddle of muddy water, which made him tired of having a big head, and he felt quite constrained and dragged mud and water.
"It can be regarded as the cause and effect of your 'gift' of the physical body......" Thinking of this section, Meng Qi's mind suddenly became lively and had a sense of agility. Unconsciously curious about Su Ziyuan's affairs, I had the urge to look at his old house, "I don't know if you have any unfulfilled wishes, if you have, I will complete it for you......"
With this thought, Meng Qi was suddenly stunned, and the surroundings seemed to become illusory and dark, and the thread of root cause and effect was like spider silk.
He seemed to have a sense of understanding, raised his head, and looked at the sinking red sun. Whispering to himself:
"I'm always one step away from breaking through, in addition to the slightly worse heat, I still need to polish, I'm afraid there is also the reason why the cause and effect of the flesh has not been tasted, after all, martial arts practice is based on the flesh, the primordial spirit and the flesh are blended, communicating with heaven and earth, the inner scene is revealed, if the flesh is more 'bound'. Natural breakthroughs become difficult......"
Thinking about this matter, Meng Qi couldn't wait to look through the room where Su Ziyuan had passed.
He took a deep breath, calmed his thoughts, and stepped out the door. Refuse the carriage and horses, and go straight to the Langya Marquis Mansion located in the Qinqi Fang.
The Langya Marquis Mansion does not occupy a vast area, but it is quiet in the middle of the noisy, and the road is tortuous. It seems to lead to a secluded place, which makes people look forward to relieve their worries, so it is also called "Quiet Garden". The birdsong mountain is more secluded, and the piano house is quieter!
"Young Master Su, are you here?" There was a person standing at the door, seventeen or eighteen years old, slightly childish, after seeing Meng Qi, he showed a sense of excitement and honor, as if he was honored to know him, which made the other young people at the door jealous.
Meng Qiluo remembered who he was after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhong, how is it, how is it to learn art in Ruan Mansion?
This person is Zhong Wei, the son of Zhong Taiping, the "Nine Divine Doctors", and with the help of Tuo Mengqi, he entered the Ruan family and became a guest secretary.
Zhong Wei straightened his chest, with a look of "look, the crazy knife knows me": "The Ruan family treats people fairly, and if you pay, you will gain, compared to when you were at home, I am a great improvement in strength, and I opened my eyes half a year ago." ”
"My father has become a guest of the Ruan family, and he is currently in Shendu. ”
Meng Qi nodded with a smile, it seems that Zhong Taiping, who has a strange temper, finally couldn't resist the temptation of becoming an exterior scene, joined the Ruan family, and became a guest Qing, as far as he is concerned, although he will not change the family heirloom exercises, but there is a Ruan family grandmaster or a top master to point out the pass and help to scrutinize the omissions, and his hope will definitely increase.
For Zhong Taiping, who is skilled in medicine, the Ruan family obviously also attaches more importance to it.
"That's a big congratulations. Meng Qi said casually, and the teenagers who were dodging by the door felt that he was humble and chivalrous.
Zhong Wei smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and he hurriedly led Meng Qi inside, walking through the tree-lined path with the faint sound of the piano.
Suddenly, he remembered something and said in a low voice: "Master Su, Duan Rui was kidnapped at the beginning, is there anything to follow?"
Duan Rui is a former Shaolin Orion who cultivated the "Yijin Sutra" in reverse order and split into a demonic personality.
"Nope. "Whether it is the six doors or other channels, Meng Qi has no news of Duan Rui.
Zhong Wei's voice became lower and lower: "A few years ago, I went to Changchuan to sweep the tomb, and I seemed to see Duan Rui's back by chance, but I was in too much of a hurry to confirm it, so I didn't tell others." ”
Where did he say that he couldn't confirm it, but he clearly felt that he had to sue Su Gongzi.
"Well done. Meng Qi praised.
Duan Rui is involved in Shaolin mole, the matter is very important, at present, only himself and Zhong Wei know his whereabouts is a good thing, and when the time comes, he will inform the master through the little junior brother, and it will be up to him to decide.
Nine months ago, Zhenhui, who cultivated the flower finger to the six orifices, began to travel down the mountain, but unfortunately Meng Qi went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and now Zhenhui is said to have opened the seven orifices, and the inner heaven and earth have just begun, with the "flower finger", the first of the seventy-two Shaolin stunts, ranked in the top 20 of the list, overpowering Yao Xingliu Yao Xiaogui, of course, it is still not as good as Yang He who has eight tricks in the top ten.
Turn around the quiet path, there is a pond like a lake in front, and there is a small building built next to it, which follows the undulating terrain, secretly conforms to the principle of heaven and earth, and the slight water surface is like a whole.
"Isn't it a banquet?" Meng Qi is also a person who has been to the garden and other places as guests, this should be a place for private hospitality, not a place for banquets.
Zhong Wei smiled: "It's a private invitation." ”
Uh, Meng Qi frowned, is there really something important about snacks?
Entering the small building, Meng Qi first saw an old man, his face was clear, his beard was half white, but he was full of energy, and he did not show any old age.
This old man's momentum was high, making Xiao Lou reverberate like the sound of an illusory piano, so Meng Qi subconsciously looked at him.
And Ruan Yushu stood beside him, still dressed in white and cold, like a fairy in the Moon Palace.
The old man's eyes were sharp, and he seemed to have a clear view of Meng Qi, he stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Yes, there is such a realm before twenty." The old man hasn't seen him for many years, and Su Wuming was in his early twenties in the past. ”
"Thank you seniors for your praise. Meng Qi put on a posture of respecting the old and respecting the virtuous.
"This is my uncle, who is in charge of Honglu Temple. Ruan Yushu introduced loudly.
The old prince Ruan got married and had children late, although Ruan Yushu's father was a son-in-law, he was the youngest of his generation, and the age difference from the previous brother was quite large, so it was normal for Ruan Yushu's uncle to look like her grandfather.
Meng Qi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Old Lady Ruan was here, he was a famous figure, and he was in the top ten many years ago. Even if he has retired to the ancestral house of the Ruan family in Langya, he has not done anything for a long time, and he has fallen to the top ten, but no one dares to underestimate it.
Ruan Yushu's uncle laughed and said: "My twenty-one mother is the most high-eyed, rarely praised, can get her repeated expectations, the old man is naturally curious, so he took the liberty to invite and meet." ”
"See it now. The name is well deserved, but it can be exhausted. ”
In the midst of laughter, he walked away, without any intention of entertaining Meng Qi.
Meng Qi wiped the cold sweat that did not exist: "As the saying goes, there are many madmen in the Ruan family. When I saw it today, it was true. ”
Ruan Yushu said lightly: "I'll let the uncle see you today." ”
"Huh?" Meng Qi looked at her suspiciously.
"Today you return to Su's house. "Ruan Yushu seems to be talking about something natural.
I'm afraid that the Su family will embarrass me...... Meng Qi was suddenly a little moved, and said with a smile: "It's really smart, and it does things well." ”
Ruan Yushu didn't smile. But the big eyes narrowed and bent like crescent moons.
After chatting a few words, Meng Qi talked about the king carrying his father. The two were puzzled, the Wang family is a Confucian inheritance, and they follow etiquette and law, and it is really not like his style to invite others on the first day they return home.
With this question, Meng Qi went to the Huanhou Mansion and saw Wang Wenxian in the hall, that is, Wang Zai's father, who was the governor of the court and the secretary of the household department.
Wang Wenxian also has a national character face, which seems to be printed in the same mold as Wang Zai, but he has a beard, and his temperament is mature and profound.
After a few casual greetings, he invited Meng Qi to sit down for dinner, every move was in accordance with etiquette, the standard food was silent, and Meng Qi also became serious, but he didn't feel troublesome.
After finishing the meal, Meng Qi found an opportunity to ask: "Uncle, has Brother Wang Zai ever entered Beijing?"
He also thought that Wang Zai had instigated his father to invite him, but now it seems that it is not what he thought before.
Wang Wenxian said unhurriedly: "Zai'er is rushing to Shendu and wants to go to Qionghua for a banquet." ”
"I don't know what Qionghua Banquet is trying to compete in?" Meng Qi took the opportunity to ask.
Wang Wenxian shook his head: "The emperor has his own opinions, and the old man doesn't know about it, only that the important minister or the prince can bring one person to the banquet, Zai'er is because he missed the last martial arts, so he wants to take the shortcut to the south." ”
After Wang Zai lost to Meng Qi last time, he felt his own shortcomings, gave up martial arts, and traveled again.
The mysterious Qionghua feast...... Meng Qi frowned, and then said, "I don't know what happened when my uncle invited me?"
Wang Wenxian said: "Zai'er has praised you many times, the old man is quite curious, and what you said this morning has won the heart of the old man. ”
"Huh?" Meng Qi looked at him puzzled.
Wang Wenxian stroked his beard: "Be ambitious, don't be greedy for titles, others may guess that you are bluffing, but the old man believes that it is not, even if there is no title, I will wait to improve myself step by step, what can I not get?"
"The title is orthodox and cannot be messed up, but to this day, who in the Wang family can take the old man's words as the wind in his ears?"
Meng Qi was a little aware that Wang Wenxian was afraid that his son's friend would make a mistake, so he deliberately used himself as an example to encourage himself, and at the same time to avoid civil strife in the Su family.
He is really a strong man with Confucianism and Taoism......
"Thank you uncle for mentioning it, the little nephew is obsessed with martial arts, and the glory and wealth do not disturb the soul. Meng Qi said sincerely.
Wang Wenxian nodded: "There is one more thing, I have to remind you, the head of the Zhongzhou Dart Bureau has a reason with the old man, but he didn't wait for the old man to be rescued by the letter, and died tragically outside the capital of the gods, as if he was destroyed by Tianmen and Luojiao." ”
"You have grievances with them, you should be careful, although the gods are safe, but they are not absolute, as long as you are fast enough and have a secret place to hide, you can still do something, such as some time ago, the Jin Wangfu Keqing was killed in broad daylight. ”
That's what I killed...... Meng Qi said silently in his heart, and frowned at the same time, the matter of the Zhongzhou Dart Bureau can attract the Luo Sect and the Heaven Destroying Gate, it seems that it is not ordinary, Gu Changqing is carrying half a dart, will it be dangerous?
He groaned and decided to believe in the "Haoran Qi", and also believed in Wang Zai, and told the truth about his rescue of Gu Changqing.
"Do your best to find your friend and send him to the old man's house. Wang Wenxian said without hesitation.
At present, Meng Qi doesn't know where Gu Changqing is hiding, only the contact information, and Wang Wenxian is in a high position, and his every move is eye-catching, so he didn't go directly to find it.
However, he also promised: "If there is anything that the old man needs to do, just say it." ”
Meng Qi thanked Wang Wenxian and returned to Sufu, when it was already dark and the moonlight was thick.
He pondered about this matter, walked very fast, and planned to contact Gu Changqing tonight, and as he walked, he arrived at the river in the city and saw the sparkling water.
Meng Qi's reflection was reflected in the water, which made him suddenly startled, he and Wang Wenxian knew that the dart was in Gu Changqing's hands, but Luo Sect and Heaven Destroying Gate didn't know, they were afraid that they would think they had swallowed it!
Oops, it's not evergreen that is dangerous, it's me...... Meng Qi's heart was vigilant, his spirit was restrained, and he sensed the surroundings, for fear that Gu Xiaosang would jump out.
He left the river, planning to go back to Su Mansion first, and ask Wang Wenxian to find Gu Changqing tomorrow!
After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt inexplicably irritable in his heart, if it wasn't for the previous vigilance, I'm afraid he wouldn't have felt this way!
At this moment, the purple thunder brightened, and a masked figure suddenly flew down from the trees next to him.
Nine Days Thor?
The mythical location powerhouse?
Bang!
The thunder knife slashed out five strikes at the same time, and purple lightning burst out, devouring the shore! (To be continued......
