Chapter 167: Sealing the Marquis with a Sword

Since then, Niu Zhishui has been persuading wine and food, and when he drank it, he began to boast of his bravery. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info How to use a white enemy and so on, Zhuo Zangfeng was not familiar with the things in the palace, and seeing that Gu Huaiyuan did not refute it, he suddenly remembered Lu Wuxian, so he inquired about this veteran in the palace.

Niu Zhishui was already a little drunk, and when he heard the surname Lu, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he quickly glanced at Gu Huaiyuan, who was about to drink.

As a cultivator, just a few glasses of water and wine, naturally he can't let this forbidden ** Fengsheng get drunk in the slightest, he understands that Niu Zhishui wants to say goodbye, so he took the lead in speaking.

"Niu Gong doesn't need to scruple, this matter has been a long time coming. The reason of heaven is clear, and the day will be revealed to the world. The gains and losses of the imperial court, the officials bend the law, how can they block the mouths of all living beings?"

Niu Zhishui also had bitter advice on this matter, and was scolded by His Majesty the Emperor at that time. This breath has been held for many years, and at this time, with the strength of wine, he said the truth clearly.

At that time, Hu Yanling, a calligrapher, was known as the peerless of the Tang Dynasty, which aroused the jealousy of a powerful practitioner, who was also good at Danqing calligraphy and studied swordsmanship.

After a banquet, the two of them were asked by everyone to write and ink, and as a result, Hu Yanling came out on top and took the limelight. After that, the cultivator took the opportunity to cut off Hu Yanling's fingers, so that he could not use his pen and ink.

Hu Yanling couldn't afford to provoke this cultivator, so he fled to the empty mountain and didn't know what to do. Many years later, an official named Lu Yanyou re-mentioned the case, and he was once again arrested by the Nine Clans.

Zhuo Zangfeng endured his grief and indignation, and from the details in the white-haired old official's flickering words, he was sure that Hu Yanling was the old Taoist priest of Qifeng Mountain.

From this point of view, this cultivator not only harmed the old Taoist, but also separated Lu Wuxian's wife.

But who is this cultivator, and now he has any official position, and Niu Zhishui will not spit out half a word. Even Gu Huaiyuan was secretive about it and never mentioned it.

However, Zhuo Zangfeng faintly heard that this person was a marquis with a sword, and he had helped the army to suppress the battle on the front line, so he must be a prince.

With this clue, I believe it is not difficult to inquire about it.

Seeing that Niu Zhishui and Gu Huaiyuan were cautious, they thought that this was a character who was not easy to mess with.

No wonder Lu Wuxian still doesn't know who the enemy is.

Walking out of the cow house, it was getting late. A chill poured through the streets.

The spring wind is still a little chilly in the night.

Maybe it's almost curfew.

Zhuo Zangfeng walked along the path in his memory.

As he passed through a street, he saw the lights in front of the gambling house, and two casino guys were busy introducing customers.

"In the past few days, someone has made a big bet, a million taels of silver at a time, which is really a big deal! ”

Zhuo Zangfeng stopped and listened carefully.

"Aunt Yaofu" obviously refers to himself. I've heard this title a lot, and although I'm angry, I'm never so bored as to see two guys.

It's just a question in my mind, who would bet on themselves to win?

The guy said to the guests inside: "In this archery competition, almost all of them bet on the iron man to win, although Aunt Yao Fu can break the 'Nine Curves Tongyou', it should be Tian Fei's intention, because he is afraid that the hussar general's face will not be able to hang up." ”

"Hardly anyone bet on him to win this time......"

Hearing their remarks, Zhuo Zangfeng felt calm for the first time.

He was originally just a poor teenager, with no background, no acquaintance, no support, nothing, and some cold ridicule, nothing.

All he can do is work harder than others.

He was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, he saw Lu Wuxian actually run out of the gambling house, and the latter also recognized him, just nodded slightly panickedly, and then quickly ran away.

Zhuo Zangfeng originally wanted to tell him about the sword marquis, but seeing that he was in a hurry, he didn't understand why this indifferent young man was nostalgic for the brothel, shuttled through the gambling house, and watched Lu Wuxian's back disappear, but he didn't chase after him.

I never knew who my parents were, so I didn't care. Lu Wuxian is different, he has experienced the breakdown of his family, looking for joy in the sound, solving worries in the gambling hall, or it is also a helpless move.

Although this kind of "helpless action" will be more helpless and frustrating, there are always many people who do not have the courage to face reality.

There was laughter in the gambling house, and Zhuo Zangfeng resolutely turned around.

............

Back at the inn, He Bikong was staring at him, and he didn't mention killing the Black Skull Monk, but just stared at him with surprised eyes.

Mo Ya saw Zhuo Zangfeng come back, routinely asked about exams, meals and other trivial matters, and complained that he had delayed an afternoon in vain, blaming him for having time to drink and not practicing archery.

In the end, the great sword master who had never spoken spoke said a fair word.

"Without accumulation, what can you practice in an afternoon, it's better to relax and relax before the competition. ”

Mo Ya frowned at the serious Great Swordsman, feeling that this old and young man was really unreasonable, and turned away.

Thinking that His Royal Highness Yueyue would be safe and sound with the protection of the Autumn Wind Screen, looking at He Bikong, who was concentrating on cultivation, Zhuo Zangfeng suddenly thought that if it weren't for this great sword master by his side, maybe there would be danger coming to him.

He didn't know that He Bikong had already solved one of the most dangerous enemies for him.

Early the next morning, the three of them had breakfast, got into the carriage prepared for them by His Royal Highness Yueyue, and came all the way to the Hibiscus Garden.

This place is the royal garden, look up and see the palace is heavy, the pavilions are continuous, the grass and trees are lush everywhere, and the towering trees are high and the sky is high.

Many people have already rushed here, small traders and hawkers, officials in civilian clothes, pharmacy shopkeepers, young girls, crowded and noisy.

Zhuo Zangfeng and others got out of the car and walked into the park with the crowd, and after a while, a wide square appeared in front of them.

The square is paved with bluestone, and there is no trace of the butt between the stone cracks, showing the superb skill level of the masons. It is surrounded by a wooden fence, which is also very cleverly set up, not only to prevent irrelevant people from entering, but also to block the view of peripheral spectators.

Heavily guarded officers and soldiers guarded the door, and candidates were allowed to enter with tokens to verify their identities.

On the tall Zixiao Pavilion of Furong Garden, countless wonderful beauties in colorful clothes sit inside.

This time, His Majesty the Emperor was extraordinarily gracious, allowing the concubines and princesses and the beauties of the harem to go upstairs to watch, and also rewarded each of them with an additional two hundred taels of gold, allowing them to play for fun.

Needless to say, these harem magnates, who are accustomed to pitching pots and two-way plays, can bet with the people for the first time, and their hearts are novel and excited.

They also inquired into the details of the students in this archery exam, and they all felt that they were very sure, not only did they gamble privately between themselves, but also sent people to send the bets to the major gambling houses.

For this extra wealth in addition to the reward of the Son of Heaven, these young beauties all have the mentality of not taking it for nothing.

They believe that Tian Fei's Zhang Jin's crossbow and archery skills are unparalleled, and there is no doubt that the first place must be him.

Originally, Princess Yuqing was also invited this time, but Yao Caiwei, who has always been elegant, did not come, perhaps because she didn't want to participate, or maybe it was her mother Princess Chengping's obstruction. Maybe it's for something else.

But Yao Caiwei still sent one to the examination room.

Since Yan Zhiguo came back, she remembered that Zhuo Zangfeng was going to be admitted to the Qingyun List, and she also knew that this lonely teenager needed encouragement at this moment. Although Yao Caiwei, who was not out of the boudoir, did not know about the Chang'an gambling house, and she did not know how much cold reception Zhuo Zangfeng had received here, she still sent Xian'er over.
