As the sun set, the two riders galloped on the official road, raising a puff of dust.

Approaching a small town, Lu Yiping pulled the reins, "Huh~"

Yuan Xi slammed it, and the horse under his crotch stopped suddenly, his front hooves raised, and he neighed.

Lu Yiping nodded, this kid has good riding skills.

Seeing Yuan Xi coming over, Lu Yiping said: "Yuan Xi, let's find an inn in this town to stay overnight!"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "It's all up to Uncle Lu!"

When they arrived at the streets of the town, the two turned over and dismounted, and walked forward, in order to avoid unnecessary politeness of the garrisons along the way, Lu Yiping and Yuan Xi were dressed in civilian clothes.

Lu Yiping said to Yuan Xi, who was looking at this town: "This town is called Quanshui Town, there is a thousand-year-old spring in the town, the spring water is clear, and the entrance is sweet, so it is named. ”

After listening to Lu Yiping's introduction, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Then I'm going to taste it." ”

After going down the mountain, Yuan Xi still felt that the clear spring in Tianyu Cave Mansion was the best.

After the banquet was over, the two rested for a while, then said goodbye to the king of Shu and drove their horses away from Ziyang City.

Lu Yiping walked forward, and then said: "Quanshui Town is still the jurisdiction of Ziyang City, out of this town, and then eighty miles to the south, it is Tong'an Town, which is the jurisdiction of my Pingnan City. ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Lu, where is the Qingyun Sect Mountain Gate?"

Lu Yiping smiled, didn't answer Yuan Xi's question, but turned his head and asked, "What's the matter? After defeating the two masters of the Qingyun Sect, you still want to challenge the entire Qingyun Sect?"

Yuan Xi knew that Lu Yiping was making fun of himself, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle Lu, it's not for me to learn, besides, I can't beat Mr. Jia." ”

Lu Yiping smiled and said, "Qingyun Sect is on Qingyun Mountain north of Ziyang City, not too far, almost a hundred miles away!"

Speaking of this, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "If you don't win against Uncle Jia, then the chess jar in your arms was given to you by Uncle Jia?"

With Lu Yiping to Ziyang City, Yuan Xi gained a lot, in addition to the King of Shu's personal praise, he also won a piece of jade pendant worn by the King of Shu and a jar of chess pieces from Jia Nanfeng, the deputy head of Qingyun Sect.

Yuan Xi frowned slightly, and said as he walked: "Uncle Lu, I always feel that I am a little invincible, or that there should be such a result. ”

Lu Yiping looked up at the inn in front of him, and said to Yuan Xi: "Let's go, go to the inn, let's talk about it later." ”

A guy came up, and when he saw that it was Lu Yiping, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The little one has seen General Lu, the general, is it still the same?"

Lu Yiping nodded, took out a small piece of silver from his arms and threw it over, "You look at it and give it to Zhang Luo, and the rest will be used as a reward!"

The guy nodded hurriedly, glanced at the unfamiliar face beside Lu Yiping, stepped forward to take the reins from the two of them, and led them to the backyard.

Yuan Xi walked into the inn with Lu Yiping.

There were not many people in the inn, Lu Yiping glanced at the hall, picked a table and pointed at it, and the two sat down.

The shopkeeper saw that the person who came was Lu Yiping, who had already walked out from behind the counter and personally brought a pot of tea and sent it over.

After pouring tea for Lu Yiping and Yuan Xi, the shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "General Lu, take a moment, drink tea to moisten your throat first!"

Lu Yiping nodded and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't need to be polite, you go and get busy, I'll tell my buddy if I have something later." ”

After the shopkeeper left, Lu Yiping said to Yuan Xi with a smile: "Come, take a sip of tea, how about tasting this tea?"

Yuan Xi picked up the teacup, took a sip first, and then drank it all.

Lu Yiping smiled, "You have some cow chewing peonies!"

Yuan Xi poured himself another cup, looked at Lu Yiping, who was still slowly tasting tea, and said curiously: "Uncle Lu, isn't this tea just to quench your thirst? I just happened to be thirsty, and drinking it like this quenches my thirst, by the way, aren't you thirsty?"

Lu Yiping couldn't help but wonder, what Yuan Xi said was not unreasonable, so he drank it all.

It's really thirst-quenching.

Yuan Xi took out the chess pieces that Jia Nanfeng lost to him from his arms.

Seeing this, Lu Yiping remembered what Yuan Xi said in front of the inn, so he asked: "Yuan Xi, in the end, you defeated Uncle Jia, this is obvious to everyone, even Uncle Jia thinks that he lost, is there anything wrong with this?"

Yuan Xi had opened the chess jar, and inside it were sunspots lubricated by streamers.

He thought for a while and said, "Uncle Lu, you have also seen the battle between me and Mr. Jia, although Mr. Jia's secret weapon technique is not as ever-changing as my astonishing finger, it is also unique, and he must also be a person who is proficient in this way." ”

Lu Yiping muttered: "This secret weapon kung fu is just an auxiliary means, some people practice, but they don't specialize in practicing this kung fu." If you want to talk about sending secret weapons, Uncle and I will also have some, but compared to you and Uncle Jia, it is much worse, I didn't expect Uncle Jia's secret weapon technique to be so powerful, presumably he has practiced his own martial arts to the extreme, and has the energy to study the secret weapon kung fu. ”

Yuan Xi continued: "Mr. Jia's technique is very accurate, but the control of strength is a little worse. ”

Lu Yiping glanced at Yuan Xi and said with a light smile: "Why don't you go back and give Uncle Jia some advice?"

Yuan Xi scratched his head and said, "I'm not, he's not my disciple." ”

Lu Yiping glanced at Yuan Xi, "Do you want Yuan Daxia to point at me?"

Yuan Xi stuck out his tongue and grinned: "Uncle Lu, just with my relationship with Guan Guan, it is not impossible for Uncle Lu to learn if he wants to." ”

Lu Yiping quipped: "Then I want to thank Yuan Daxia for looking up to me." ”

Yuan Xi's face was embarrassed, and he added some tea to Lu Yiping.

At this time, the guy had already come over with a tray, and after setting it up, he said to Lu Yiping: "General Lu, the dish is ready, you use it slowly, if you need to greet it again." ”

Yuan Xi hurriedly picked up the wine jug, filled Lu Yiping's wine cup, and after his own wine cup was also full, he picked up the wine glass and said to Lu Yiping: "Uncle Lu, Yuan Xi grew up in the mountains since he was a child, he has little knowledge and a straight temperament, and I hope my uncle will mention it more." ”

Lu Yiping picked up the wine glass, touched it with Yuan Xi, and the two drank it all.

Taking advantage of Yuan Xi's pouring of wine, Lu Yiping said to Yuan Xi: "You kid, everything is good, but there is still a lack of some city government, and you are full of joy and anger." As the saying goes, it is easy to break if it is too rigid, Yuan Xi, although the young man should be high-spirited, but this qi cultivation kung fu also has to be practiced. ”

Yuan Xi nodded.

Lu Yiping continued: "Uncle Da Dao won't say much, these things still have to be experienced slowly by yourself. Yuan Xi, sometimes it's not a bad thing to be wronged, after all, the sunrise and sunset don't revolve around you alone. ”

Yuan Xi said softly: "Uncle, Yuan Xixiao can save it." ”

Lu Yiping took a bite of food, and said while eating: "Eat quickly, by the way, Fang Cai's words haven't been finished yet, didn't your peanuts punch a hole in Master Jia's robe sleeves in the end?"

Yuan Xi put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Lu Yiping and said: "Uncle Lu, I think this is inappropriate, I used my dark strength to break Mr. Jia's peanut, but with Mr. Jia's internal strength, even if I hit the sleeve of his robe, he can shake the peanut down." ”

Lu Yiping thought for a moment, patted the table and said: "I understand, since you have hit Uncle Jia, it means that Uncle Jia believes that he has lost in his heart, as for why he didn't shake the peanuts down, it must be that Uncle Jia didn't use internal force to shake them down in order to prove that you won." ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and nodded: "Uncle is reasonable, Mr. Jia is really a master, with such a bearing, Yuan Xi admires." ”

Lu Yiping said with emotion: "As the deputy head of Uncle Shi's faction, it is really admirable to be able to admit that he lost so frankly. ”

Yuan Xi took a pair of chopsticks and chewed the cooked meat slowly, and after swallowing it, he raised the wine glass and saluted Lu Yiping, and after drinking it all, he said: "It's just that his disciple is really disliked." ”

Speaking of Ning Kailai, Lu Yiping snorted lightly and said, "It's a man who doesn't have a long brain!"

Yuan Xi pretended not to hear what Lu Yiping said.

After drinking and eating, the two did not rush back to the room to rest, but sat at the table drinking tea and chatting.

Yuan Xi twisted a few clouds in his hand, rubbed them lightly with one hand, and said, "Uncle Lu, this cloud feels so good, it must be very cool to play." ”

Lu Yiping also stretched out his hand to grab a few, nodded and praised: "It is indeed a good chess piece, but if you dare to use the chess piece as a hidden weapon in front of the king, uncle will really admire you." ”

Treating chess pieces like this in front of the "holy hand" in the clouds is a heart-piercing move.

Yuan Xi smiled.

Lu Yiping continued: "Yuan Xi, you work hard to win Uncle Jia's jar of white seeds next time."

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "I don't know why Mr. Jia is eyeing me, and he is looking for an opportunity to continue to learn from me." ”

"You are content, there is a master like Uncle Jia who is willing to learn from you, this is something that others can't ask for, do you think it's so easy for the deputy head of Qingyun Sect to make a move?"

Yuan Xi said with a thoughtful expression: "Uncle Lu, it is precisely because I know that I am so puzzled. ”

Lu Yiping thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's still related to your master." ”

"My master?"

"Yes!" Lu Yiping said with a straight face: "Yuan Xi, I won't tell you, I was also suspicious of you when you first arrived in Pingnan City, after all, my uncle is a city guard, and there is a young master of unknown origin in the city, so my uncle naturally has to be cautious." Now that your uncle has let down his guard against you, it doesn't mean that the King of Shu is at ease with you, after all, even you can't tell the details of your master until now. ”

Yuan Xi said in a low voice: "I understand!"

Lu Yiping saw that Yuan Xi's eyes were a little dim, so he comforted him and said: "Yuan Xi, the trust between people is not something that can be established by meeting with a frank word. There is an old saying that you can't hurt others, you can't have the heart to defend people, everyone will be wary, but everyone's vigilance is different, and this difference lies in how much power you have in your hands. It's like you're not afraid of tigers and jackals in the mountains, and it's a reason why ordinary people have been on guard against beasts after they enter the mountains. ”

Yuan Xi was thoughtful, his eyes lit up, and he said to Lu Yiping: "Uncle Lu, I understand, when I met Mr. Jia in the palace, my attention was on him, and this is why I have subconsciously begun to guard against Mr. Jia." ”

Lu Yiping bowed his head and said: "That's right, Yuan Xi, uncle hopes that you don't have any prejudices against the king, after all, the king is the lord of a state, and it is natural for him to be wary of you." ”

"Uncle Lu, don't worry, I will prove it to the King of Shu in the future, my uncle is not wrong. ”

After speaking, Yuan Xi thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Lu, is that little prince familiar with Guan Guan?"

"Unfamiliar!"

Lu Yi's face moved slightly, and he stood up and said, "It's not early, let's rest early!"

After saying hello to the guys, he took the two of them upstairs.

After arriving at the room, Yuan Xi did not lie down in a hurry, but took out the chess jar again, pinched out a chess piece from it, and flicked it casually.

There was a soft "pop", and the chess pieces were embedded in the roof beams.

Yuan Xi flew up with his feet, patted the beam with one palm, and copied it with his left hand, and the chess pieces that came out of the shock were already held in Yuan Xi's hands.

Yuan Xi fell to the ground, but quietly, he spread out his palm, and the chess pieces were lying intact in the palm of his hand.

Sitting at the table, Yuan Xi poured all the chess pieces on the table, and with a "bang", the chess pieces were scattered on the table, shimmering in the candlelight.

Yuan Xi lay on the table and counted the chess pieces one by one.

After counting, Yuan Xi frowned, picked up the chess jar and looked at it, and leaned over to look under the table, but there was nothing.

He counted again, and there were still only one hundred and eighty pieces.

One piece is missing.

When Yuan Xi and Lu Yiping were resting upstairs, another guest came to the inn.

Stretching out his hand and brushing his hair, this man who was not tall and had a dark face smiled at the guy who greeted him: "This little brother, help me prepare a room, and if there is anything delicious in the store, choose a few and add a pot of wine, and send it directly to the room." ”

The man nodded again and again, and led him upstairs.

This person is Kan Huazi.

This inn has only three upper rooms, and today it is full, and the shopkeeper's smile is so crowded that the folds are crowded together, and the guy who has received some reward is even more happy.

Kan Huazi came from Pingnan City and wanted to go to Ziyang City.

Running all the way, even if he had the skills, Kan Huazi still felt very tired, and after eating, he asked the guy to boil some hot water, and he wanted to take a hot bath.

With his eyes slightly closed, Kan Huazi lay comfortably in the bathtub.

With his arms on the edge of the barrel, Kan Huazi sighed in his heart, after coming out for so long, the three beauties in the family must be very lonely, the opportunity to rub his shoulders and rub his back is so rare, but it was wasted.

Kan Huazi's heart moved, the power in his body worked, and the water in the bucket shook slightly.

This is Kan Huazi's self-created bathing and massage method, with the help of internal force to shake the water in the bucket, and then the water shocks back to his body, like countless small fists and fists on his body.

Kan Huazi, who felt very comfortable, couldn't help but moan softly.

Lu Yiping, who was meditating in the room, frowned, there are really everyone, and he has to release it when he takes a bath, but he has a long insight.

At this time, Yuan Xi was already lying on the bed, holding a purse in his hand and continuing to think about the story of "Pair of Ducks".

The next day,

Lu Yiping and Yuan Xi left the inn after breakfast, and before leaving, Lu Yiping glanced at Kan Huazi who was drinking porridge there.

Eating and looking in the mirror, no wonder you can do that kind of thing.

But Kan Huazi's gaze fell on Yuan Xi who was far away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

————————————————————

Shu Wangfu,

Jia Nanfeng accompanied the King of Shu to chat in the study.

Jia Nanfeng took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said: "Your Majesty, the origin of this Yuan Xi is unknown, and now it is a good thing that people are serving under Yiping." ”

With a worried look on his face, the King of Shu asked, "How do you say this?"

Jia Nanfeng said: "If others are under Yiping's command, that is, in the bright place, they can always be under our control, even if he has special skills? If he does some bad things, Yiping is not a vegetarian, even if Yuan Xi can make a draw with Yiping, as long as others are in the army, I am afraid that Yiping will not be able to take him?"

The King of Shu nodded slightly, and then asked: "Mr. Jia, when you were competing with Yuan Xi for internal strength, I saw with my own eyes that the chopsticks were shattered, and a master like you is not even afraid of bows and arrows?"

Jia Nanfeng shook his head and said: "The king thinks too highly of us, if there are few arrows, we can naturally rely on our own internal force or catch, or block or push away the arrows, but we always have a time when we run out of energy, we need to take a breath of true qi again, and then the empty door will be exposed, it will be very dangerous, not to mention, thirty archers continue to shoot arrows, and it will not take five rounds, and the old man will not be able to bear it." ”

The King of Shu tapped on the table with one hand, and then asked, "Mr. Jia, if you make a move with Yuan Xi, how sure can you win?"

Jia Nanfeng chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, the old man is not boasting, even if Yuan Xi uses his frightening kung fu, I can still win, there is no doubt about this, if it is more than ten years later, the old man can assert that I am not his opponent." ”

The King of Shu smiled: "It's Mr. Jia who is too humble!"

Jia Nanfeng waved his hand and said: "It's not that the old man is humble, but that's the case, more than ten years later, he is in the prime of life, and his skills are getting deeper and deeper, and the old man is already in the middle of the day, and the lack of qi and blood is the reason, this is the principle of nature, manpower is irresistible, one eliminates the other, and I am naturally inferior to him." ”

After speaking, Jia Nanfeng pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Regarding Yuan Xi, the king can rest assured, Yiping has been in charge of Pingnan City for so many years, and a young Yuan Xi will not deceive him in the dark, besides, the king still has my Qingyun Sect by his side." ”

The King of Shu bowed his head and said, "It's disturbing Mr. Jia's Qing Xiu!"

Jia Nanfeng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is a way to eat the king's lu, for the king's worries, my Qingyun Sect is the first sect in Bazhou, naturally I can't do the wild crane in the mountains, the bystander is clear, and it is my Jia Nanfeng's luck to be able to serve the king." ”

The king of Shu smiled and said to Jia Nanfeng: "I won't say much if I am polite, Mr. Jia lost his beloved Yunzi in order to test Yuan Xi, and this king will not go, or give the chess pieces of this king to Mr."

Jia Nanfeng hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Thank you to the king, but Nanfeng is about to live up to the king's good intentions." ”

"How?"

I didn't expect that my gift would be rejected, and the King of Shu looked at Jia Nanfeng.

Jia Nanfeng hurriedly explained: "Does the king still remember the agreement between the old man and Na Yuanxi?"

The King of Shu smiled: "Naturally remember, does Mr. want to win it back?"

Jia Nanfeng arched his hand and said: "That's right, Wang, this opportunity to fight with Yuan Xi again depends on the king." ”

The King of Shu smiled and said: "This matter is not difficult, so it is okay, summon Yuan Xi a few more times, and this king can see if this person can be used by me." ”

After talking, Jia Nanfeng left the study of King Shu and returned to his courtyard.

Seeing the master return, Ning Kai greeted him.

The two glanced at each other, and Jia Nanfeng asked in a low voice: "I asked you for the teacher, thinking that the teacher understands you, and you shouldn't change your true qi when you change your moves, what is going on?"

Ning said with a smile: "It's still the master who understands the apprentice, and the apprentice's move is deliberate." ”

With a slight movement in his expression, Jia Nanfeng glanced around, and said to Ning Kai: "Let's go, go into the house and say!"

The two of them entered the house and sat down, and Jia Nanfeng asked, "Why did you do it on purpose? With Yuan Xi's skills, even if you are not so clumsy, you are not his opponent." ”

Ning Qi smiled and said, "Master, it's true that I'm not as good as Yuan Xi, but if I lose more embarrassingly, won't his Yuan Xi's skills be higher? Master's sleeves aren't so easy to break, right?"

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Ning Kai and smiled: "You are shrewd!"
