was glared at by Lu Yiping, knowing that it must have been his wrong name, Yuan Xi was sitting in a precarious position and did not say a word.

Seeing Yuan Xi's erroneous appearance, Lu Yiping secretly laughed, but pretended not to hear the "thunderous" title, stabilized his mind, and after taking a sip of tea to suppress the shock, he coughed lightly and said: "Yuan Xi! ”

Yuan Xi smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that this kid was deflated, Lu Yiping was in a good mood, and continued: "Uncle, I am not pedantic and stubborn, this marriage event is the order of my parents, and the matchmaker's appointment is true, but I have to like it, otherwise you think my Lu Yiping's daughter will not be able to marry? There are many people who want to join my family with Lu Yiping, and this matchmaker is about to break the threshold of the General's Mansion." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yiping's face was not red at all, in his opinion, many matchmakers should come, but his pass is too good, and the threshold of the General's Mansion is too high, those people are very self-aware.

In fact, Lu Yiping really wanted to say that the matchmaker should come and get it, so let's just agree.

Fortunately, Yuan Xi is alone in this Pingnan City, how can he, a stunned boy, know about the short things in these parents.

Yuan Xi thought about what he had told himself, and wondered: "General Lu~ Uncle, how did I hear that no matchmaker has set foot in the General's Mansion?"

Lu Yiping was dumbfounded, "Who said that? Can uncle still lie to you about this kind of thing? Those who came to the door were all rejected, and their faces were gloomy, who would still make a big fuss? It's normal that you don't know." Don't talk about others, Dong Xianglin, the eldest son of the city lord of Pingnan City, has been thinking about my family Guan Guan since he was a child, but Guan Guan thinks he is less manly, and I can only lose the face of the city lord, it is a matter of happiness for a lifetime, and my uncle Guan Guan is such a daughter, naturally she can't be wronged, you understand!"

Yuan Xi nodded.

Lu Yiping snorted, "You understand a fart!"

Yuan Xi scratched his head, why didn't he agree with him?

Lu Yiping continued: "Whoever Guan Guan likes, I will be towards in my heart, of course, no matter who Guan Guan likes, you must first be able to enter my eyes, you are a good boy, and my uncle likes it very much, so my uncle is naturally towards you." ”

Yuan Xi was quite moved in his heart, he was really happy to be liked by Lu Guanju.

Glancing at Yuan Xi, who seemed to be smirking, Lu Yiping said: "But don't be happy too early, I just said, these are not enough, Yuan Xi, you read a lot, I believe you also know the meaning of these four words." ”

When Yuan Xi heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he lowered his head and pondered.

He and Lu Guanju are in love, but Yuan Xi has never seriously thought about marriage. It's not that he doesn't have a sense of responsibility, but that he doesn't have an elder around him, and he hasn't really combined marriage with affection.

According to secular common sense, most people marry first, and only after two strangers spend the night in the cave house do they begin the journey of intertwined hearts.

For many women, they don't have a choice.

Fortunately, Lu Guanju has a father who dotes on her, a father who is in a high position and doesn't care about the eyes of others.

Yuan Xicai is used to spending time with Lu Guan Juhua before the moon, Qingqing and me.

Did he think about it for a long time? But how can it last forever? It's not a simple sentence of "Marry me, okay?"

It's useless to dig out your heart and say this, marriage is not just about digging out your heart.

Seeing that Yuan Xi was thoughtful, Lu Yiping continued: "Guan Guan is happy, I am naturally happy to be a father, but the happiness of this life is not something that can be seen in a moment. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yiping patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder and said: "Yuan Xi, uncle said that these are not prejudices against you, it is precisely that uncle recognizes you as a person, at least in terms of feelings for Guan Guan, I believe in you, but you are still too young, and no one can guarantee the future." ”

Yuan Xi's lips moved, "Uncle, I ......"

Lu Yiping smiled, held Yuan Xi's arm and continued: "Child, your background is still a mystery now, but uncle will not stop you from talking to Guan Guan for this reason." ”

Lu Yiping's big hand was clenched very tightly, Yuan Xi felt the temperature brought by this big hand, and his somewhat flustered heart gradually stabilized.

Lu Yiping let go of his hand, patted it twice, and said with a smile: "Yuan Xi, since there is no elder in your family to think about your future for you for the time being, uncle, I will put more effort into thinking about it for you." Uncle, let me make it clear, although you are extraordinary, you are not enough to ask me Lu Yiping to lower his identity and take the initiative to invite you to serve in my Zhennan Army. Uncle did this, you must be able to guess a thing or two. ”

Yuan Xi only figured out at this moment why after joining the Zhennan Army, in addition to being familiar with the affairs of the army, Lu Yiping ordered him to protect Lu Guanju, instead of Zhou Bochang's brothers.

Lu Yiping was creating an opportunity for him to be with Lu Guanju.

Yuan Xi looked at Lu Yiping and said sincerely: "Uncle Lu, thank you!"

Lu Yiping smiled and said, "Yuan Xi, liking someone is to give her happiness, right?"

Yuan Xi nodded.

Lu Yiping asked again: "Then let me ask you, what is happiness?"

Yuan Xi looked at Lu Yiping's serious gaze, pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Lu, Yuan Xi's experience is still shallow, so it's okay for me to talk about the happiness I think in my heart?"

Lu Yiping nodded slightly.

Yuan Xi pondered it and said: "The so-called happiness is a feeling of our body and mind, take me as an example, I grew up in the mountains, learned literature and practiced martial arts, made a big fuss with the beasts in the mountains, carefree, and always felt very happy, this is the happiness I had when I was a child, and then I went down the mountain, left the master, and came to Pingnan City alone, went to the martial arts hall, met Cheng Shibo, Xiaofei, I didn't worry about my own food and drink, I lived a very fulfilling life, I think this kind of down-to-earth life has always been happy." Later, I went to Jingzhou for a trip, and made new friends, and joined hands with everyone to fight against the enemy, although it was a bit dangerous, but I felt that it was also a blessing to have someone to fight side by side. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Xi stopped talking and glanced at Lu Yiping.

Lu Yiping's eyebrows moved slightly, "It's gone?"

Yuan Xi was a little confused, and continued in a low voice: "It's still off, I think seeing her every day is the greatest happiness, even if you can't see her, you can miss her, and it's also very happy." ”

Lu Yiping smiled and said, "You are right, but the happiness you say is the happiness of the moment." The joy of childhood, the stability of worry-free food and clothing, the trust and mutual assistance between friends, and the morning and twilight with your sweetheart, these are the most comfortable feelings in your heart, and they are your happiness. Yuan Xi, Uncle asks you, if you want to give Guan Guan happiness, how do you do it? Do you want to share your happiness with her?"

Yuan Xi wanted to open his mouth and say yes, but after thinking about it carefully, he closed his mouth again.

Lu Yiping was very satisfied with Yuan Xi's humble attitude, and after taking a sip of tea, he said slowly: "Sharing your happiness is of course a way, but it's not just that, if you really like someone, you will slowly and involuntarily think about how the other party feels." What she thought in her heart, can she give it to herself? Yuan Xi, you and Guan Guan only see the present now, because you are still too young, but uncle, as your elder, as a person who has come over, naturally thinks about it for a long time. ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Let my uncle bother!"

Lu Yiping smiled, "You don't have to be polite to your uncle, your uncle is also for Guanguan." Let you enter the Zhennan Army, in addition to giving you the opportunity to get along with Guan Guan, it is also to create an opportunity for you, a chance to start a career, and a chance for you to be worthy of my Lu Yiping's daughter in the eyes of the world, do you understand?"

Yuan Xi's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "Uncle Lu, is this what you just said about being the right person?"

Lu Yiping bowed slightly, and then said: "Yuan Xi, you are also a person who reads poetry and books, this 'Shinong businessman' is naturally not unfamiliar, although my uncle and I have no prejudice against anyone, but my uncle will not marry his daughter to a businessman, this is the reality, so you have to gain a foothold in the army, rely on your own ability, and prove it to your uncle, I, Lu Yiping, have not seen the wrong person." ”

Yuan Xi straightened his chest and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, Yuan Xi will definitely live up to expectations." ”

Lu Yiping patted him on the shoulder and said: "Uncle believes in you, Yuan Xi, this big husband has made great achievements, in addition to his own ability, he must also have opportunities, and it is not enough to have the approval of his uncle, so my uncle took you to see the king, you can get the king's appreciation, you kid can get more opportunities, now you understand your uncle's hard work!"

Yuan Xi lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Uncle Lu, I understand, then what should I do?"

Lu Yiping smiled and said: "The king is still very approachable, after seeing the king, whatever the king asks, you can just answer, in addition, the master of my master Qingyun Sect is also in the palace, the king should arrange for you to compete with him, just so you can take the opportunity to show it, after all, what I said is not as good as what the king saw with his own eyes." ”

Yuan Xi thought of the master who looked at him, looked at Lu Yiping and asked, "Uncle Lu, after I entered the mansion, I met Shizi and the other two, and those two should be the masters of the Qingyun Sect you are talking about." ”

Lu Yiping was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Have you met with them?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "It's just a long view, Uncle Lu, I think that old man is very powerful." ”

Lu Yiping smiled: "That's natural, his name is Jia Nanfeng, and he is the deputy head of Qingyun Sect, do you say it's powerful?"

Yuan Xi smiled.

Lu Yiping asked again: "Can you see Xiao Shizi clearly, have you done anything rude?"

"No, the chamberlain who led the way told me the identity of the prince, what's wrong?" Uncle Lu!"

Lu Yiping didn't explain to Yuan Xi, picked up the teacup and said softly: "It's nothing, Yuan Xi, my uncle has been in contact with you for so long, and I know that in your eyes, everyone is the same." But this world is like this, there are always people who are superior and inferior, uncle hopes you can understand!"

When the King of Shu mentioned Lu Guanju, Lu Yiping had a guess, but he didn't like this kind of speculation. After Lü Guanju was born, he never hoped that his daughter would marry into a princely family.

He taught Lu Guanju to practice martial arts, but he didn't have a lot of thoughts.

Yuan Xi suddenly thought of Ye Beilai, the servant who abided by the rules in the palace.

There was a knock on the door, and someone asked, "Is General Lu there?"

————————————————————————————

After Fan Liye entered the palace, he saw that it was the king of Shu who set up a banquet, so he was dissatisfied: "My father is really partial, but he doesn't call me for a banquet!"

"You kid, why is your father partial? Your eldest brother is not here, why do you say that you are partial? Besides, your father didn't call you, didn't you come too?"

The person who came was the King of Shu.

Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai saluted to the king of Shu, "I've seen the king!"

The King of Shu smiled: "You two don't need to be polite!"

After speaking, he looked at Jia Nanfeng and said: "Mr. Jia, Yiping happened to be in the palace, and when I heard that you were also there, I asked this king to meet you, an elder of the division, and this king thought about it, wouldn't it be better to simply set up a banquet and sit together?"

Jia Nanfeng exclaimed: "It's Yiping, I haven't seen him for many years, Nanfeng has thanked the king here!"

The King of Shu raised his hand, motioned to Jia Nanfeng to be courteous, and said, "Sit down!"

He turned his head to Fan Liye and said, "Ye'er, you can sit next to your father!"

Fan Liye saluted and said, "Father, this is not in accordance with the rules, right?"

The king of Shu waved his hand and said: "What is not in order, it's just a family banquet, you are the son of this king, why can't you sit with me?"

After speaking, he asked left and right, "Hasn't Yiping arrived yet?"

"Your Majesty, I'm coming!"

Lu Yiping stepped into the hall, Yuan Xi followed behind him, and bowed his head slightly according to Lu Yiping's instructions.

The King of Shu turned around and smiled: "If you come, sit down!"

Lu Yiping took a step forward, saluted the king of Shu and said, "Subordinate Lu Yiping, I have seen the king." ”

Yuan Xi followed, following Lu Yiping's example, and also saluted the King of Shu and said: "The last general Yuan Xi, pass the king." ”

The King of Shu glanced at Yuan Xi and said to Lu Yiping: "Yiping, there is no need to be polite, sit down!"

Lu Yiping arched his hand at Jia Nanfeng and said, "I've seen Uncle Jia!"

Jia Nanfeng nodded and saluted: "Yiping, sit down, let's catch up later!"

After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Xi without leaving a trace.

The King of Shu had already sat on his throne, and Fan Liye waited for him to sit down, and then carefully half-sat beside the King of Shu.

No wonder he is so careful, if this matter is spread by someone with a heart and reaches the ears of his eldest brother, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

His eldest brother Fan Jiangong is now in Jinliang City.

After sitting firmly, Fan Liye glanced at Yuan Xi, who was sitting on the left side with Lu Yiping, turned his head and asked the King of Shu in a low voice: "Father, who is that person?

The King of Shu smiled, put his hands on the desk and said to everyone present: "Today's banquet by this king is not an important scene, and you don't need to be formal. Speaking of which, in addition to this king, you can all be regarded as people in the rivers and lakes, although Yiping is a general under my command, he is also a descendant of the Qingyun Sect, Mr. Jia and Ning Kai are both masters of the Qingyun Sect, as for Ye'er, this does not pester Mr. Jia, and if he recognizes a master, he can be regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes. Then, let's just drink the way we do it!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Lu Yiping and said, "Yiping, you can introduce this young talent to you!"

Lu Yiping glanced at Yuan Xi, nodded at him, stood up and arched his hand to the king of Shu and said, "Your Majesty, then I will introduce you to you." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Fan Liye, Jia Nanfeng, and Ning Kai and said: "This person's name is Yuan Xi, he is a commander under my command, he is less than seventeen years old now, but he has learned a good martial arts!"

After speaking, he looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Yuan Xi, come, I have met the king!

Yuan Xi didn't like it in his heart, obviously he had already saluted the King of Shu, but because of Lu Yiping's face, he stood up, his face was expressionless, and he saluted the King of Shu again: "Yuan Xi has seen the King of Shu!"

After speaking, he said to Fan Liye, Jia Nanfeng arched his hand and said, "Yuan Xi has seen you!"

Lu Yiping had already sat down again, and when he saw Yuan Xi finish greeting him, he was about to beckon him to sit down, but Fan Liye opened his mouth first: "General Lu, you said that he has a good martial arts? Why can't this son see it? I see that he is just taller." ”

Lu Yiping smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness, Yuan Xi's martial arts are personally assessed by me, with my skills, Yuan Xi will not fall behind in fighting with me, and he can be regarded as a young master, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a young master." ”

Fan Liye's eyes widened slightly, obviously taken aback, and the general was suspicious: "Will General Lu be a little exaggerated?"

Lu Yiping shook his head slightly and said, "In front of the king, how dare I speak!"

At this time, Ning Kai snorted lightly and said, "General Lu has been away from Qingyun Sect for many years, maybe his skills have regressed. ”

Ning Kai was sitting opposite Yuan Xi, and when he saw that the person sitting opposite him was actually the young master in what the master said before, he was unconvinced, so he couldn't help but open his mouth.

Yuan Xi saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he sat down by himself, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Ning Kai's gaze.

He was a little puzzled, why was there a hint of hostility in this man's eyes, but he didn't know him.

Lu Yiping didn't like it in his heart, glanced at Ning Kai, and said lightly: "Who are you?

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Ning Kai and said softly: "Why are you so rude? According to the seniority, Yiping is your senior brother!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lu Yiping and said, "Yiping, his name is Ning Kai, he is a disciple of his uncle, and he was only up the mountain not long ago when you went down the mountain." ”

Lu Yiping nodded and said, "It turned out to be Uncle Gaozu, no wonder there is no one in his eyes." ”

Jia Nanfeng's face tightened, he couldn't imagine that he was so faceless, and then he thought of Lu Yiping's identity, it was indeed his own disciple who couldn't speak with his brain.

Seeing this, Ning Kai was about to speak, but was glared at by Jia Nanfeng, who turned his head.

His Royal Highness took in the appearance of the King of Shu, chuckled, and said to Fan Liye beside him: "Ye'er, what do you think?"

Fan Liye glanced at Yuan Xi, who was sitting down by himself, and said: "Maybe Xingzhen is a master as General Lu said, the kid doesn't have such skills, but he can't see the details of this person." ”

The King of Shu picked up the wine glass and said: "Is there a real book on this Yuan Xi and don't rush to say it in advance, since it is the king who has a banquet, the most important thing is to drink, come, make this cup first!"

After the king of Shu drank it all, everyone raised their glasses.

After Yuan Xi drank a glass of wine, he smacked his lips slightly, this wine is really good, but it is worth the trip.

After everyone put down the wine glasses, the King of Shu continued: "Mr. Jia, do you know that this Yuan Xi is the life-saving benefactor of the daughter of the Yiping family. ”

Jia Nanfeng was surprised: "Is there such a thing? The old man is curious, how can there be a villain who dares to do something to General Lu's daughter?"

The King of Shu shook his head and said: "Yiping is a city guard, naturally there are villains who hold grudges, this matter is over, there is no need to talk about it in detail." ”

Fan Liye asked on the side: "Father, are you saying that someone has committed murder against Sister Guan Ju?

Hearing this, Yuan Xi frowned slightly.

The King of Shu smiled: "Naturally, it is fine, otherwise how would Yiping sit here and drink with peace of mind?"

After speaking, he looked at Yuan Xi and said: "Yuan Xi, this king heard Yiping say that you have the kung fu of playing stones with one hand, which makes you superb, and you saved Lu Guanju with this kung fu in the first place?"

Seeing that the King of Shu asked himself, Yuan Xi had no choice but to get up again and bow down and salute: "Back to the king, it is the kung fu practiced by the last general to fight birds, which is called the finch finger." ”

The King of Shu nodded and said, "Surprise Finger, it's a good name, this king will ask you, who is your master, and what kind of advanced martial arts are you learning?"

Yuan Xi said: "Back to the king, the last general has lived in seclusion in the mountains with the master since he was a child, the master called himself a mountain dweller, and did not tell me other names, the master taught me internal strength, called Gao Shen internal strength, as for the palm fist and feet, there is no name." ”

The King of Shu smiled: "It seems that your master is a reclusive master, I don't know where your master is now?"

Yuan Xi said: "Master has left Tianyu Mountain, but I don't know where he went, before going down the mountain, Master told me, let me go to beg for a living, fortunately General Lu appreciated, the last general can eat in the army." ”

The King of Shu glanced at Yuan Xi's complexion, saw that his expression was natural, his words were frank, and he bowed his head slightly: "Your master is a strange master, but what you said is really wrong, in our army, naturally it is not a mess, Yuan Xi, you do a good job, do a good job, this king will naturally give you a chance." ”

Yuan Xi bowed his hand, "Thank you, the king!"

The King of Shu nodded and said, "Yuan Xi, you sit down first!"

After speaking, he looked at Jia Nanfeng and said, "Mr. Jia, have you ever heard of such a person as a mountain dweller?"

Jia Nanfeng shook his head and said, "It's that the old man is a little lonely and unheard, and he has never heard of this person."

The King of Shu sighed: "Mr. Jia is the deputy head of the Qingyun Sect, but he doesn't know that there is such a hermit in my Bazhou?"

Jia Nanfeng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, listening to what Yuan Xi said, his teacher's whereabouts are erratic, and he may not be from my Bazhou, but the old man can learn from Yuan Xi and see which faction his martial arts belong to!"

The King of Shu was surprised: "Mr. Jia can try it out?"

Jia Nanfeng said: "Your Majesty, when the old man was young, he had the honor to represent the Qingyun Sect in the martial arts conference, and later he also brought his disciples to participate. This martial arts conference is not only a competition between disciples, but also a competition between the teachers who lead the team, according to the saying that the world's martial arts are the same as the nine major schools, I must be able to roughly test the origin of Yuan Xi's martial arts. ”

The King of Shu looked at Yuan Xi.

Seeing this, Lu Yiping asked, "Yuan Xi, Uncle Jia wants to instruct you on martial arts, are you willing?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "I can't ask for it!"

This is Yuan Xi's sincere words, and it is not a bad thing to have the opportunity to fight with the masters.

Yuan Xi stood up and arched his hand at Jia Nanfeng: "Please Mr. Jia for advice!"

At this time, Ning Kai stood up and said, "If you want my master to guide you, you have to pass my pass first." ”

Yuan Xi glanced at Ning Kai, ignored it, and saw that Jia Nanfeng didn't speak, so he sat down again.

Seeing this, Ning Kai ignored his rudeness in front of the King of Shu, bypassed the desk, walked in front of Yuan Xi, and said slightly angrily: "What do you mean by this?

Yuan Xi glanced up at Ning Kai and said lightly: "You can't beat me, I don't want you to be embarrassed." ”

Originally, Yuan Xi didn't have any good or bad feelings about this person, but when he opened his mouth to question Lu Yiping, Yuan Xi felt a little disgusted with this person in his heart.

"You!"

Ning Kai pointed at Yuan Xi so angry that he couldn't speak, he shook his hand angrily, turned to the King of Shu and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, it's really this person who is too angry to speak, I can't help it for a while, so I will lose my temper." ”

The King of Shu smiled: "It's okay, people in the rivers and lakes, who hasn't been a little arrogant?"

Ning Kai arched his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, I have been apprenticed to Qingyun Sect since I was a child, and I have been learning art with my master for more than 20 years. ”

It didn't make any difference to the King of Shu who Yuan Xi was talking to, so he looked at Yuan Xi and asked, "Yuan Xi, are you willing to learn a thing or two with Ning Kai?"

Yuan Xi was silent for a moment, glanced at Lu Yiping, saw him nodding slightly, stood up and said to the King of Shu: "Your Majesty, I am willing." ”

After speaking, he looked at Ning Kai and said, "How do you want to fight?"

Ning Kai saw that Yuan Xi should go down, and saluted the king of Shu, "Thank you for your success!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yuan Xi and said, "The sword has no eyes, I'm only afraid of hurting people, how about you and I fight each other?"

Yuan Xi said indifferently: "Whatever you want!"

After speaking, he walked out of the desk, stood under His Highness, stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Ning Kai and said, "Come on!"

Ning Kai looked at Yuan Xi's calm and relaxed appearance, and secretly said in his heart: "I will definitely make you look good in a while!"

With a fist at Yuan Xi, Ning Kai said: "Commander Yuan, please!"

Yuan Xi nodded slightly, but did not put out a fist to meet the enemy.

Ning Kai took a deep breath, sank into the dantian, and slapped his palm towards Yuan Xi.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi secretly laughed in his heart, it turned out that the move used by Ning Kai was the style of the wind and clouds, although this move was much stronger than Lu Guanju in Ning Kai's hands, it was much inferior to Lu Yiping.

Ning Kai saw that Yuan Xi was not moving, and sneered in his heart, this person dared to hold it up so big, his palms continued to gather momentum, and when he was close to Yuan Xi's body, he suddenly changed his moves, and a black cloud destroyed the city and pushed Yuan Xi.

Jia Nanfeng stroked his beard, suddenly changed his complexion, and stood up.

Ning Kai was already half-kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest, biting his lip and unable to speak.

Yuan Xi said lightly: "Don't bear it, it's no big deal to spit it out, it's easy to get hurt if you hold it!"

"Poof!"

Ning Kai spurted out a mouthful of blood and stared at Yuan Xi.
