Chapter 137: Good Rewards
On the way back, Li Fu's words kept lingering in Ye Suiyun's mind, and he thought that since the secretary was in the imperial city, the first step was of course to find a way to enter the imperial city. ww?w?.? But when I think about it, I don't have any ideas.
Back at the residence, Tang Xiyao has also returned. Speaking of the banquet for the Haoqi League in Xingqing Palace, Tang Xiyao shook his head again and again, and said: "Don't mention how boring it is, I don't know any of the people present, and the topics we talked about are even more boring, all of them are flattering words to congratulate the emperor on his birthday." The most unfortunate thing is that An Qingxu is also there. And say hello to me, I hate it to death. ”
The ninth sister said strangely: "How could you invite him on such an occasion?" ”
Tang Xiyao said: "The surname An is to go to the banquet with his father, and that An Lushan is a big fat man, I am afraid that he will have more than 300 catties." The ninth sister was surprised: "That's not the same as a fat pig." Such a person can also lead troops to fight? Tang Xiyao nodded speechlessly.
At this time, a servant came in to tell that someone outside the door asked to see Miss Tang Er. The ninth sister asked the name of the person, and the servant said, "He said that his name is Linghu Injury." Ye Suiyun's mind immediately appeared in the black-clothed man in the orchid wine shop that day, and said, "Is it him?" What did he come to do? This man has very high martial arts, and I will go with you. He said and put on his mask.
When he came to the door, a black robe came into view, and the fox wound turned his back to the door and looked at the sky. Hear the voice and turn around. When the ninth sister saw his handsome face, she couldn't help but be stunned. Tang Xiyao asked, "Are you looking for me?" At this time, Ye Suiyun was walking out with the second daughter.
Ling Hu Shen didn't speak, the cold light flashed in his hand, and he didn't know when he had an extra long sword, and he attacked Ye Suiyun unexpectedly.
Before the sword reached his body, Ye Suiyun had already felt a stinging pain in his skin, and he was leaning against the door frame with his back to him at the moment, with Jiu Mei and Tang Xiyao beside him, unable to dodge. With his hands crossed, he stretched out his sword against the approaching sword. He was engrossed, and when the palms and swords intersected, his left hand shrank and waved, the back of his hand was just attached to the sword, and he pushed it outward, and the opponent's long sword involuntarily swung outward, which was the fourteenth style of the dragon palm 'Divine Dragon Like a Cloud'.
Ling Fox Wound immediately changed his move, reversed the hilt of the sword, and smashed it with the head of the sword. Ye Suiyun's right palm is the chest, and the hidden dragon should not be dissolved. The fox wound was swept with a sword grid again, Ye Suiyun's left hand was withdrawn, and a small dragon descending hand was gently and skillfully pushed away.
The fox injured the long sword and stabbed several swords in a row. The moves are not complicated, but they are dangerous and fast, like a strong wind with yellow sand blowing towards Ye Suiyun. In a moment, the two of them were in front of Yonghe Fang, and they tumbled and rolled for more than 100 rounds.
Tang Xiyao and Jiu Mei had long been unable to see the offensive and defensive moves clearly, and they were forced to stand five feet away by the strong wind, and they both raised their throats with one heart.
Ye moved and dodged with Yunteng, only to feel the wind blowing in his face, the opponent's sword was strange, and it was difficult to hand it out with his palm, and he gradually felt overwhelmed. In a hurry, his heart moved, he pulled out the iron flute from his waist and pushed it out, and then his wrist flipped and retracted back to half an inch, and the flute connected the dots, dangdang dang a few times, and each time it was on the tip of the opponent's sword. It is the fifth style of the autumn rain sword technique, 'wind and rain like obscurity'.
Ling Fox injured the victory in his hands, but he never expected that the other party would suddenly use such a wonderful move, and the long sword in his hand was almost out of his hand, and it was difficult to attack. When he was about to retreat, he was surprised to find that Ye Suiyun's flute had been handed to him.
Although the fox was not panicked, the long sword was reversed and raised, and the head of the sword was pointed against the flute. Who knew that Ye Suiyun suddenly replied, and the flute stabbed Ling Hu five times in a row. Ling Hu was injured and retreated quickly, his hand flew up, and he dodged the first four blows at a thousand times, but after all, the middle point in his chest was still poked by the last flute. The fox was sad and shocked, but he realized that he stopped with his clothes and did not exert his strength, so he was not injured.
It turned out that Ye Suiyun's last ingenious blow was the sixth style of the Autumn Rain Sword Technique', 'from good as flowing', and the defeat turned into victory. I thought that if I had to be guided by Zhang Shuyuan and practiced the Autumn Rain Sword Technique, I might not be able to win. Ling Fox was so good at hurting him, he didn't want to embarrass him, so he didn't exert any force at the end. The two move vertically and horizontally, and the lightning and flint are combined, so except for the two people in the game, others can't see who loses and who wins.
Ling Hu looked at Ye Suiyun in a daze, and said for a while: "What kind of swordsmanship is this?" Ye Suiyun shook his head, reluctant to say more. Ling Hu was not reluctant, and nodded and said, "Good swordsmanship." ”
Tang Xiyao and Ninth Sister, who had already been stunned, came back to their senses, and Tang Xiyao said: "Your Excellency came to the door, and without saying a word, you drew your sword and faced each other, should you also say something?" ”
Ling Hu took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over. The ninth sister took it forward, looked left and right, took out the letter paper and handed it to Tang Xiyao. Tang Xiyao read it quickly, and it turned out that An Qingxu invited her to go to the palace for a banquet tomorrow.
Ling Hu said that after a while in the wine shop, he never forgot it and was willing to make friends with Miss Tang Er. Suffering from the rush of that day, I have time to talk about it in detail in the future. It wasn't until we met again in Xingqing Palace today that I was fortunate to inquire about Miss's whereabouts, and I hope Miss can appreciate it. ”
Tang Xiyao folded the letter and asked with a smile, "What if the little girl refuses to appreciate the light?" ”
Ling Hu said sadly: "Then I'm afraid Miss, and even the entire Shuzhong Tang Sect will not have a good time." ”
When the ninth sister heard this, she rushed into flames and said, "Who are you scared, I really thought that the Tang Sect would be afraid of you." ”
Ling Hu said lightly: "It's not scared, Qingxu is my nephew, I understand his temper, and he will never stop until he reaches his goal." In this world, except for the emperor and his father, he is not in the eyes of anyone, let alone a local wealthy family. ”
The ninth sister wanted to scold again, but Tang Xiyao stopped and said, "Okay, please reply to your superiors, just say that I will be there tomorrow." The ninth sister said hurriedly: "Miss! Tang Xiyao shook her head, so that she didn't have to say more. What Tang Xiyao thought was that when he came to Chang'an this time, he represented the entire Tangjiabao. Try not to cause trouble and make the situation bigger. What Ling Hu said makes sense, a lawless person like An Qingxu will not do things seriously, if he blindly refuses, he is afraid that he will be forced to be anxious and cause a big mess. Besides, with Ye Suiyun by his side, what can he do. If the other party wants to take the drug, it will be even more ridiculous, and he is still afraid of any poison.
Ye Suiyun said: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship cultivation is content to be an errand for others, it's really a pity." ”
Linghu said sadly: "I don't have to come to send the letter, this time I automatically asked for help, it is for you." The three of them were a little curious.
Linghu said sadly: "That day in the wine shop, I was invincible with you empty-handed, so that's okay, my fist is not my strength." Today, I came to teach you with swordsmanship, but I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so good. I didn't expect Tangjiabao to have such a character. After speaking, he bowed his head slightly to the three of them, and left without looking back.
Ye Suiyun said to Tang Xiyao: "I'll go with you tomorrow." When the three of them returned to the house, Tang Xiyao stopped and asked, "Who won just now?" ”
Ye Suiyun was stunned for a moment and said, "It's me." ”
Tang Xiyao snapped her fingers, narrowed her eyes into a line with a smile, and said, "I know, I have confidence in you." ”
Ye Suiyun said with a straight face: "This person is not trivial, he is a top master, he can use a long sword to attack any part, the moves are unpredictable, I can't resist his swordsmanship empty-handed." ”
The ninth sister glanced at her and said, "You are so stupid, who stipulates that you can only fight with people empty-handed." You are stronger than him with fists and feet, but the swordsmanship still wins him, and he wins. ”
At dusk the next day, the three of them came to the palace as promised, and they were told in front of the door that the little prince ordered that only female guests be accepted today, and men were not allowed to enter.
Ye Suiyun became anxious when he heard this, and said, "This guy is too deceitful, let's go back." ”
Tang Xiyao was anxious to end the matter, thinking that if he turned around and left, he would really offend An Qingxu, and since he had already arrived here, he quickly dealt with it, pulled the two aside and whispered: "If you leave, this person's ghost will not disperse, I am afraid it will be endless." Today, we have exhausted the number of courtesies, and it is not my fault that there will be any conflicts in the future. ”
Ye Suiyun was anxious and said, "But this guy obviously has bad intentions, this is too dangerous." ”
Tang Xiyao pulled his sleeves, revealing half of his white lotus-like forearms, as well as the rainstorm box tied to the wrist joint, and said, "The needles in the box have been reinstalled, what are you afraid of?" Brother Ye, even if it's you, I'm afraid that you may not be able to dodge the blow of this box. Ye Suiyun had already understood what happened in the Octagonal Village, and nodded in amazement, he knew the power of this secret weapon, and with this thing, he could indeed feel a little at ease. He thought about it and said, "I'm afraid that they will do something in the drink." ”
Tang Xiyao grinned, took out two pills, took one each with the ninth sister, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Is there any more questions?" Ye Suiyun didn't need to ask, he knew that it must be something that could resist all kinds of poisons.
The ninth sister said: "Okay, if there is a situation, I will shoot an arrow, and you will rush in when you hear the sound." Ye Suiyun reluctantly responded.
The second daughter was led into the banquet hall, An Qingxu was obviously impatient, and when she saw Tang Xiyao at first glance, she was overjoyed, and said attentively: "Miss Tang can come, it's really a pleasure, please come to the table." After the second daughter sat down, she said: "Last time in the wine shop, I didn't know that the girl turned out to be the daughter of the Tang Sect master, Qingxu acted recklessly, please forgive me." ”
Tang Xiyao saw that although he was polite, his expression was indifferent, obviously without any sincerity in apologizing, and replied: "It doesn't matter if it's the daughter of the Tang Sect Master, even if it's an ordinary person, it seems that Your Excellency shouldn't just pull people at will." ”
An Qingxu shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, as long as Young Master Ben is willing, ordinary people will be slaughtered on the street, and no one will dare to say anything?" What's more, it's a handful of snatches. ”
The ninth sister raised her eyebrows and wanted to ridicule each other, but was stopped by Tang Xiyao. Tang Xiyao said: "Young Master An said this, do you think that there is no royal law in the Tang Dynasty?" As far as I know, the world of this Tang Dynasty is still surnamed Li. ”
An Qingxu laughed: "What is that, today's surname is Li, maybe tomorrow... An attendant next to him interrupted: "Master, it's time to perform a song and dance." Let the two guests see our dance outside the plug. An Qingxu reacted, laughed dryly, and said, "Yes, yes." Let's let the dancers play. ”
Tang Xiyao saw the talking entourage and recognized that it was the Dugu boss, although he was dressed luxuriously at this time, which was very different from when he was in the broken temple, but his appearance and lame legs could not hide from Tang Xiyao, and immediately asked: "I once had a relationship with this friend in the land temple of Hujianling in Yangzhou, I don't know if you remember?" ”
The Dugu boss stared at Tang Xiyao silently for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "The girl said that she was joking, the villain has never been to Hujian Ridge. Tang Xiyao heard him deny it, and it was expected, so he didn't say it anymore.
Singing and dancing began, and exquisite food and wine were also served on the table one after another. Tang Xiyao took a bite of every dish, seemingly unsuspecting. In fact, she and the ninth sister both took the Qingxin Baihua Pill in advance, and any poison and drug can dissolve the invisible. An Qingxu smiled and drank while constantly bragging about how wise and brave he was, and his archery skills were fascinating.
In a blink of an eye, it was already dark, Tang Xiyao thought it was time to leave, but saw another servant coming up with exquisite snacks, and planned to eat this snack and leave. Suddenly, the servant put the snack on the table in front of him, winked at himself, and then withdrew.
Tang Xiyao didn't know this person, she was suspicious in her heart, her face was silent, and she said, "I'll wait for a while." After that, he and the ninth sister walked out of the banquet hall together. An Qingxu didn't care, the woman said this, she was going to the place of the East House. He thought that everything had already been arranged, and now this Tang girl baby is the meat in his mouth, and he can eat it, and he can do it when she comes back.
Tang Xiyao and the others walked to a quiet place, and overheard the human: "This way." In the night, I followed the sound and saw a person poking his head from behind the wall, it was the servant who had just delivered the pastries. Tang Xiyao was just about to ask, but the man said, "Girl, come with me, you can't get out if it's late." As soon as he spoke, the second daughter didn't know him, but the last sentence did make them no longer hesitate and followed.
The servant was a young man who was less than twenty years old, he kept his feet, turned left and right, and said: "An Qingxu has arranged a large number of people in the mansion tonight, and this place has been surrounded, and all of them are strong in martial arts. I won't let you go tonight. No one from outside can come in. I'm afraid I'm going to have to do it in a while. ”
The ninth sister said: "This guy is really determined to treat Miss wrong, and he really doesn't take our Tangmen seriously." ”
Tang Xiyao said: "Blame me for overestimating this kind of person's scruples and reasonableness. I was in a hurry about it, so I threw myself into danger. ”
The ninth sister said fiercely: "The appearance of a master who makes the fox hurt is also worthy of being called a master and a scum who is a tiger." ”
The servant said: "That Elder Linghu is not in the mansion, he was transferred by An Qingxu with an excuse. ”
The three of them came to a back door, and in the darkness they saw a mule cart at the door, on which sat an old man, smoking a pipe. Although the second daughter didn't know where it was, her nose smelled the smell in the air, which was like a garbage heap in the kitchen.
The servant went up and gave the old man a penny, and said, "Uncle Liu, thank you for your help, remember to tell my grandfather that I will go home to see him in a few days." The old man took the money, jumped off the board, lifted up the garbage on the board, and shouted to go in.
The two daughters looked at the vegetable leaves and egg shells on it, and they were stunned, only to realize that this mule cart was transporting kitchen waste, and they couldn't help but hesitate.
The servant said: "Now that all around the palace has been blocked, I can only rely on this garbage truck to get out." Miss, don't be afraid of getting dirty, you can't hesitate, let's go. ”
The two daughters are not ordinary women, knowing that what he said is good, they don't hesitate anymore, and lie down in the car. The old man put a piece of sackcloth over them, poured a large pile of garbage on them, got into the car, and with a wave of his whip, the mule pulled the cart away.
Before going out, Tang Xiyao poked his head out and asked, "Hey, what's your name, why did you save me?" ”
The servant said, "The villain is a slave." The girl remembers the blind old man by the Qujiang Pond that day, he was my grandfather. Let's go. After saying that, he closed the door and clicked on the board again.
Tang Xiyao and the others suddenly remembered the blind old man that day. In my heart, I couldn't help but think of the words 'good will be rewarded'. It seems that people should do more good deeds on weekdays, and the good fortune will come at some point.
Along the way, the two of them couldn't see anything, and they only felt that the car board kept jolting. Suddenly stopped, heard the sound of the door opening, and someone asked, "What are you doing?" The old man replied, "The one who sent the." "Let's go." The board began to bump again.
After walking for a while, the car stopped, and the old man lifted the cloth and said, "It's already out, let's go." The second daughter jumped out of the car, thanked him, and the old man drove away with a whip again.
Looking around for a while, it was still in the city, but there was silence all around, and I didn't know where I was. Just when I was not making a plan, I suddenly heard a voice in the distance, and there were many people listening to the footsteps. The ninth sister said: "It's bad, it must be the surname An who found out that we fled and sent someone to chase us." ”
Tang Xiyao was also anxious, she didn't care about the direction, and fled with Jiu Mei towards the opposite path. After running for a long time, the sound of chasing behind is getting closer and closer, and there are a lot of people, and they don't know where they are, so they are searching in a large area.
Suddenly, I saw a tall stupa standing in front of me, and I didn't know if it was inhabited by people in the dark. The two of them didn't care much, and stepped forward to push the door, but it was locked. In the quiet night, he didn't dare to bang on the door. When the two of them were in a hurry, they suddenly saw a low temple not far away, and it seemed that there was some faint light inside.
The two rushed closer and saw the word 'Zoroastery' on the door frame. Sure enough, it is a temple, but the roof door and window system is a little strange, which is a little different from ordinary temples. didn't have time to think about it, and the two climbed over the wall. Looking at the attic inside, there was a light in the window. The ninth sister stepped forward and pushed, and the wooden door opened in response. The second daughter hurriedly flashed in and saw two old men in the room, one with one gray hair and one with white hair, playing chess with candles. When they heard the movement, they all looked. Tang Xiyao didn't have time to speak, so he closed the door tightly before he breathed a sigh of relief.
