Chapter 7: Poisoning
Wei Xiaobao said with great admiration: "Father-in-law, you must have clairvoyance, otherwise how can you know Xiao Ye's techniques clearly?" The old eunuch ignored Wei Xiaobao and asked Xiang Yan, "Xiao Xiangzi, have you practiced martial arts before?" Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "My grandfather was a soldier and taught me some martial arts in the army."
The old eunuch nodded, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and muttered, "It's actually a master of martial arts." It turns out that there is a Wudang master hidden in our palace. Well, good, good! Wei Xiaobao was surprised and delighted, and said, "You mean that Xiao Ye, this kid, is a master of the Wudang faction?" I can compete with a master, haha......"
The old eunuch snorted and said, "Don't be stinky and beautiful, who said that kid, I'm talking about the master who taught him his fists and feet." After pausing for a while, he said: "Originally, I was going to let the two of you beat Xiao Xuanzi, so that the kid would retreat from the difficulty, not be entangled, and make it convenient for Xiao Guizi to go to the study to steal books." But now the situation is a little different, Xiao Xuanzi is an authentic Wudang lineage, and he is Wudang's 'little grappler'. If you want to deal with him, you have to use Shaolin's 'big grappler'. Xiao Xiangzi's family heirloom military body fist is too superficial and useless. ”
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and said: "Xiao Ye makes the 'small grappler', we make the 'big grab', and the big presses the small, and naturally wins." The old eunuch said, "That's not necessarily. Big and small grapplers have their own strengths, and it still depends on who practices well. If he is better than you, the 'small grappler' will be better than the 'big grappler'. There are a total of 18 hands in this 'big grappler', and each hand has seven or eight variations, and you can't remember all of them for a while, so let's learn one or two hands first. ”
stood up at the moment, put on a pose, performed it again, and said: "This trick is called 'Crane Comb Feather', you have practiced it first, and dismantle it with me." After practicing Xiang Yan seven or eight times, he only heard Wei Xiaobao say: "I'm ripe." The old eunuch sat in the chair, reached out with his left arm, and grabbed Wei Xiaobao's shoulder. Wei Xiaobao stretched out his hand to block, but he was a step too slow, and he was grabbed by the old eunuch on the shoulder. The old eunuch said, "Familiar with what?" Practice again. ”
Xiang Yan knew that there were mistakes in the old eunuch's martial arts, and he was in a bad mood, so he really didn't have the heart to practice martial arts, so he argued strongly to the old eunuch: "Father-in-law, Xiao Ye's kung fu is at most comparable to mine. Even if I can't stop you, it shouldn't be difficult to stop Xiao Ye, right? Wei Xiaobao also said busily: "Yes, yes." Xiao Ye is on par with me, and my move will definitely be able to block Xiao Ye. ”
The old eunuch sighed and said! "Okay, then let's practice the second move!" stood up and tried out the second trick "Ape Picking Fruit", and asked them to disassemble it according to the pattern. Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan were not active in practicing martial arts, and after practicing a few times, they stopped practicing, and the old eunuch did not blame him.
The next day, Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan caught Kangxi off guard with their "big catchers". Wei Xiaobao defeated Kangxi with "Crane Comb Ling", and Xiang Yan won another game with "Ape Fruit Picking". Kangxi was very happy and said with a smile: "You ...... today." Today's ability has grown, and it has a bit of a taste to compete with you, who is it...... Who taught you? Wei Xiaobao panted and said: "I have this ability for a long time, but I didn't use it two days ago, and I will have more ...... tomorrow More powerful means, do you dare to understand? ”
Kangxi was about to speak, when suddenly someone outside the door said loudly: "Your Majesty, Liang Jiugong, the chief supervisor of ceremonies, has an urgent matter to see the emperor and is waiting outside." Kangxi was quite disappointed and snorted. Wei Xiaobao was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I'm ...... It's damn good. I never knew that you were the emperor, and I was very bold to do things with you. Xiang Yan secretly screamed in his heart, and in desperation, he had to kneel down and bow his head and remain silent.
Kangxi glanced at Wei Xiaobao, then at Xiang Yan, sighed, and said, "Alas, after you know, you will never fight with me again, it will be extremely boring." Wei Xiaobao smiled: "As long as you don't blame you, I will still fight you in the future, so it doesn't matter." Kangxi was overjoyed and said: "Okay, a word is a certainty, if you don't really fight, you are not a hero." After saying that, he stretched out his hand. Wei Xiaobao held Kangxi's hand and said, "If you don't really fight in the future, you won't be a hero." After speaking, the two looked at Xiang Yan together. Xiang Yan had no choice but to hold Wei Xiaobao's hand again and said, "If you don't really fight, you're not a hero." With that, the three of them clasped their hands and laughed together.
The sound of footsteps outside the door gradually sounded, and a person pushed the door in and said, "Slave Liang Jiugong knocks on the emperor." Then kneel down and kowtow. Kangxi looked quite unhappy, and said lightly: "That's it." Liang Jiugong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Hai Dafu, the deputy head of Shangshan Prison, has just passed away."
Hearing that Hai Dafu had died, Kangxi and Xiang Yan were stunned. Kangxi asked, "How did he die, wasn't he okay yesterday?" Liang Jiugong said: "Back to the emperor, Imperial Doctor Li said that the deputy head of the sea has tuberculosis in the bones, rheumatism in the heart, and the old diseases for many years have occurred together, and they can no longer be cured."
Kangxi sighed again and said, "Hai Dafu is a slave left by his father, and he dies." There is one less servant left by the father. Liang Jiugong said: "The emperor remembers the old feelings, which is the blessing of the slaves." Kangxi said again: "Since Hai Dafu is dead, the position of deputy head of Shangshan Jian ......" Kangxi glanced at Wei Xiaobao, then at Xiang Yan, and said: "It will be replaced by Xiao Guizi." Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
