Yi Xiaoling stood by the West Lake, his face was calm, and he looked like an ancient well without waves. Li Dingxing stood beside her, and didn't know what to say, he opened his mouth several times, but finally didn't say anything.

"Dingxing, or... You can take another concubine. Yi Xiaoling said lightly.

Li Dingxing's eyes widened: "What do you mean?" ”

"Do you remember the words of Lord Rong Lanrong of Si Tianjian? He said I might not have a queen... In the past two years, I have been worried about this matter, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave you with the Li family, and now it seems that this is all providence. ”

Li Dingxing said angrily: "Si Tianjian's gang of magic sticks, what kind of adults are they!" We have been married for less than three years, and I have been visiting famous doctors all over the world, and I have to ask for a child for us, whether it is a man or a woman, I don't care! ”

Yi Xiaoling shook his head lightly: "Even if there is a way now, I don't want to try it." Master is dead, the people of Beiyi killed, I swear to destroy Beiyi! Never die! The words "never die", Yi Xiaoling's calm tone suddenly became ruthless, which made people a little scared when they heard it.

"There will be a battle between the Central Plains and Beiyi, and I also know this, but when it will be able to fight, no one knows. How can you shake the huge Beiyi alone? If we have a child, if we can't wipe out Beiyi in this life, and there will be future generations in the future, it will also be regarded as revenge, wouldn't it be better? Li Dingxing persuaded.

Yi Xiaoling turned around and looked at Li Dingxing's eyes: "Yi Xiaodao has told me more than once that His Majesty can be regarded as a British lord today, and he will definitely fight with Beiyi!" I'm afraid, when I have a child, I won't dare to hold a sword again..."

Li Dingxing lowered his eyes: "It's understandable to avenge your master..."

Yi Xiaoling couldn't hold back any longer, tears came out of her eyes, hugged Li Dingxing, and the two hugged each other and cried.

……

Zhao Yizhi's edict was soon sent by the messenger of the post and the horse, and it spread all over the north and south of the river and all parts of the Central Plains.

The various gangs are talking about it, and no one knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of today's little emperor. When the edict was handed down, there was no movement in various places for a while, and everyone was watching.

Donglu, Kongmen.

"Dad, what's going on with this edict from the imperial court? Do you really want to choose a martial arts supreme to dominate the rivers and lakes? The boss Kong Ren asked.

Since the Battle of Laoshan, the five sons of the Confucian family seem to have changed their personalities, and each one is more sensible than the other. Even the most gentlemanly old Sikong Zhi has become much more mature and stable. Whenever a major event was discussed, the boss Kong Ren did not speak, and the other four were silent.

The boss Kong Ren also almost died in that battle, but thanks to the timely treatment and the feeding of various elixir supplements at any cost, Kong Cai saved his life.

Kong Cai looked at the edict copied back by his subordinates, did not speak for a while, and was silent for a while before saying, "Your Majesty is not at ease with the rivers and lakes. ”

"But can you control the rivers and lakes with such a martial arts conference? The rivers and lakes, large and small, do not take the court's money, and it is a big deal not to participate, what can the court do? The second son, Kong Yi, questioned.

Kong Cai sighed: "If the small sect does not participate, the court will not be able to control it, a small sect of more than ten people will appear on the rivers and lakes today, and two small gangs of three or five people will disappear tomorrow, and the court will not be able to control it." But we... How can you stay out of it? ”

"Our Confucian family, the exercises practiced are extremely special, and the peculiar exercises in the rivers and lakes are also among the best, but today, how many people among the people can read the books of sages? How many people are willing to use Confucianism to enter the military force and prove the Tao with martial arts? Without the help of the imperial court, it would be a matter of time before our Confucian family disappeared into the long river of history. ”

The third Kongli nodded and said, "Dad said yes, but we can't just go directly, right?" If the other sects on the rivers and lakes don't go, we go, but we are afraid that the reputation of the rivers and lakes will plummet in the future, and we will be scolded as lackeys of the imperial court. ”

"I agree with the third brother's meaning, it's better to wait and see first!" The fourth Kong Zhi said.

Kong Cai looked at the old Wu Kong Xin, who had been bowing his head and pondering, and had not spoken: "Xin'er, what do you think?" "For this fifth child, since the last incident, Kong Cai has been quite impressed by him, and he is also very concerned about this little son's opinion at this time.

Kong Xin raised his head and said, "The child thought that not only did he have to go, but he also had to go early!" The sooner the better! ”

"Tell me what you think." Kong Cai was also noncommittal and continued to ask.

Kong Xin replied: "Our Confucian family has been inherited for thousands of years, and we all rely on the fame of our ancestors and the support of the imperial courts of previous dynasties, both of which are indispensable. Now that our Kong family is declining, since my father has taken the line of Lord Yi, we have to strike while the iron is hot! ”

"Lord Yi is now a Duke of Wuding, a celebrity beside His Majesty the Emperor, if we don't move around more, then our previous efforts to exterminate the traitor Dongfang Zhong will be in vain."

The third Kongli replied: "Then I won't be in such a hurry. ”

Kong Cai nodded slightly, wanting to see this fifth man's explanation for this matter. Kong Xin said with a smile: "Third brother, you must know that the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow!" Since Your Majesty dares to issue this edict, he must be sure of the sects in the world, at least one of the sects will go in the end. You may not remember who the second and third sects rushed to the capital were, but the first sect, the imperial court will definitely remember! ”

"Why are you so sure that the main sects on the rivers and lakes will all go to the capital?" The fourth elder Kong Zhi asked.

Kong Xin continued to explain: "There is a mysterious woman from the northwest who has come to challenge the various sects in the Central Plains, and several brothers must have heard of it. His Majesty issued such an edict at this time, firstly, the chaotic feudal lands have been pacified, and the rivers and lakes can be rectified with free hands, and secondly, it is also a signal to the martial arts in the world that the imperial court is not afraid of Beiyi! ”

Kong Cai stood up from the chair, eagerly turned back and forth a few times, and finally walked in front of Kong Xin: "Xin'er's words are deeply in line with my father's heart!" ”

"Fifth brother Gaojian!" The other four got up and bowed their hands together, and they really couldn't admire Kong Xin's words.

Kong Cai sat back in his seat, looking at the five increasingly sensible sons in front of him, his heart was very happy, and he only felt that Kong Men was hopeful.

"The five of you pack up, take a hundred capable and alert disciples in the sect, and go to the capital with your father early tomorrow morning to participate in the martial arts conference!" Kong Cai's voice is like a bell, changing the elegance of the past.

The five brothers of the Kong family glanced at each other, and said in unison: "The child obeys!" ”

Chu Xiang, Zhenyang Mountain.

"Senior brother, the edict of the imperial court..."

"Just go for the four of you, and by the way, take a look at my two apprentices for me, how are they, hehehe." Zhang Zongbai sat alone on the top of the mountain, overlooking the sea of clouds, smiling happily, as if he had seen his two apprentices who were far away in the capital through the sea of clouds.

Xuan Qingzi, who had white hair, said loudly: "Senior brother, it's not that we are arrogant, it's just... If you don't come forward, I'm afraid that we won't be able to win this martial arts conference..."The other three nodded again and again when they heard this, although the three of them had martial arts, but they had been accumulated over the years, if it came to qualifications, the four of them were tied together, and even one ten-thousandth of Zhang Zongbai's could not be reached.

Zhang Zongbai stretched out his hand and wiped his beard: "Who stipulated that our True Yang Mountain must win?" Who said that Zhenyang Mountain can't lose? Whether you win or lose, Zhenyang Mountain is still Zhenyang Mountain, what are you afraid of? ”

"But—" The four of them were still a little uneasy.

"Look." Zhang Zongbai stretched out his hand and pointed to the sea of clouds for everyone: "All things in this heaven and earth, except for this landscape and land, what can exist for thousands of years?" ”

Naturally, everyone couldn't see through the scene behind the sea of clouds, so they could only think to themselves, there was indeed nothing that could survive for thousands of years, and even the Zhou Dynasty, which had the longest history, only survived for 800 years, and it disappeared.

"What you ask for means that you don't have it, and you won't ask for it without you. But the more you ask, the more you will have, otherwise why ask? Nature, nature, brothers. Zhang Zongbai said a few simple words, then did not answer, crossed his feet and knees, closed his eyes and meditated.

Several people glanced at each other, they were all people who had been in Zen for a long time, and Zhang Zongbai's words woke them up at once: "What Senior Brother taught is that we will go down the mountain immediately and rush to the conference." ”

After everyone left, the corners of Zhang Zongbai's mouth hooked up a smile: "If you don't understand, just ask, that's right." Otherwise, when I'm gone... Who's going to ask you..."

……

Fang Qianlong has been entangled for several days, the martial arts conference, this kind of thing is rare in a hundred years, and no one knows when the next martial arts conference will be. In the past, there was a lot of notoriety for beggars on the rivers and lakes. It would also be a great thing if we could take advantage of this martial arts conference to make the beggars emerge and impress the martial arts...

Du Ling'er looked at Fang Qianlong's unthinking appearance and guessed his thoughts: "If you want to go, you can go, what are you hesitating about?" ”

"I'm guilty now, I'm afraid that I'll find Your Majesty and make me unhappy... You have followed me for three years, and I see that I can leave here in half a year, I don't want you to suffer anymore..."Fang Qianlong felt quite guilty.

Du Linger put rice in her mouth: "If I was afraid of hardship, I wouldn't have left my father in the first place." What do you think you are? All rushing to ask for it? What I like is this kind of self-motivated you, not the current look of being afraid of wolves and tigers. ”

Xian'er was on the side, ripped off her white ribbon, handed it to Fang Qianlong's eyes, and kept signaling.

"What's wrong? Xian'er, is this uncomfortable to wear? Fang Qianlong put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked with concern.

Du Linger said angrily: "She means that her illness was all treated with the help of Her Majesty, and Your Majesty is a good person now, so don't worry." ”

"When are you... So smart? ”

"When you're away."

"Hahaha, it's my fault, I care too little about you... I'll go and see Your Majesty after I've eaten! ”

……

Donglu, ask Xiangge.

"Dad, this... What is this martial arts conference to try? If it's a martial arts competition..."Fu Qing looked at the edict, a little bitter.

Q Xiangge is very similar to Xiufanfang, and is not good at martial arts. Xiufanfang first attaches great importance to medical skills, treats diseases and saves people, and relies on the remuneration paid by patients to the degree of effect. As for asking the Xiangge, it is important to pay less work, and get an honorarium by inquiring about the news of the rivers and lakes, and the two have the same end. Because of this, if you let Xiang Ge fight for this martial arts supreme, unless everyone abolishes their martial arts, it's almost the same.

"The pavilion master just told me, don't worry about the martial arts conference or anything, let's just go through the motions. This treasure has to be bet on Yi Xiaodao. Fu Qingsong looked at his slim daughter, and felt quite comforted: If he hadn't given birth to a daughter, he wouldn't have been able to tie up Na Yi's knife!
