Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mount Tai is not easy to climb
Yuan Bingde has returned to Xiangguo Mansion, and Yuan Shixin is waiting for him in the study.
After entering the door, Yuan Shixin got up and greeted him, and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Why did you come back so soon?" I was still a little worried about your trip, after all, he Huo Xingwei was a top master. ”
Yuan Bingde said with a smile: "With the mind of the National Teacher, he would not do such a thing, and besides, he has no reason to attack me." ”
Yuan Shixin put his hands behind his back and said, "But you want to kill him." ”
Yuan Bingde walked to the table, poured two cups of tea, motioned for his father to sit down, took a sip of tea and said: "Father, I am not the only one who wants to kill the national teacher, isn't he still sitting firmly on the stargazing platform now, looking at the entire Luoyue City?"
Yuan Shixin, who had already sat down, looked at his son, who looked calm, and continued to ask, "Bingde, what have you talked about?
Yuan Bingde looked at the teacup in his hand, shook his head and said, "It's just that after drinking a cup of tea, chatting a few idle days, and taking a few glances at the scenery, the national teacher sent the guests off." As for this suspicion, maybe no matter whether we do it or not, the National Teacher still has that attitude towards us, Father, when the National Teacher found us side by side in the palace, he may not have thought of the current situation. ”
Yuan Bingde went to the National Teacher's Mansion alone, except for the horseman who drove the car, there was no one else, on the way back from the National Teacher's Mansion, the coachman opened his mouth, and Yuan Bingde knew that the coachman was dressed as a shadow.
The shadow told him that there were places where he couldn't follow him.
This is the first time Yuan Bingde has seen a shadow since he arrived in Luoyue City, and he is already very relieved to see the appearance of a shadow.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to having a shadow by his side.
After ascending the Star Picking Tower, Yuan Bingde saw the national teacher standing behind him, and after greeting the juniors, Huo Xingwei turned around and nodded.
Yuan Bingde seems to have a calm heart, but in fact, his heart is also up and down, after all, the person in front of him, whether it is authority or skill, can be said to be the first person in the Great Jin Dynasty today.
As for the little emperor's nephew, in his Yuan Bingde's eyes, he was a fart.
After saluting, he said with a smile: "Master Guoshi, when Bingde came to the royal capital with his father, he had the honor to admire your demeanor from afar. ”
Huo Xingwei put his hands into his wide long sleeves, and said with a smile: "Old, old, they are all people who have half of their bodies into the loess, virtuous nephew, this world depends on you young people." ”
Yuan Bingde said with a smile: "The national teacher is still in the same kamikaze, and this Great Jin Dynasty can't do without you." ”
Huo Xingwei shook his head lightly, held the railing with one hand, looked at the lights of thousands of homes from afar and said: "I have been sitting on the stargazing platform for a long time, I am also a little tired, I want to learn from the senior brother, go to the mountains to be an idle cloud and wild crane, but it is just the duty, the clouds in the sky are still thicker, and the old man can't see through it." ”
"The national teacher is worried about the country and the people, and works day and night for the state affairs. ”
After speaking, Bingde saluted Huo Xingwei again.
Huo Xingwei waved his hand and said: "Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be so polite, in my place, there are not so many false courtesies, besides, in a few days, you will also be a prince who dominates one side, the old man has to congratulate first." ”
Yuan Bingde smiled lightly: "It's just enjoying the ancestral shade, it's not worth mentioning." ”
After speaking, he took a few steps forward, stood beside Huo Xingwei, put his hands on the railing, and said with emotion: "Master Guoshi, the scenery here is unique, no wonder everyone likes to climb high and look far away." ”
Huo Xingwei looked at Yuan Bingde on the side and said with a smile: "The scenery is good, but after watching it for a long time, I feel that it is nothing more than that. ”
Yuan Bingde lowered his head, looked down, stared for a while, and then raised his head and said: "If you don't even have the courage to stand here, then how can you look at the world." ”
Huo Xingwei's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Yuan Bingde.
Yuan Bingde, who looked up from afar, only felt a strong force coming from the railing, he pressed his fingers hard, clasped the wooden carved railing, stood still with his feet, his face moved slightly, just a moment's effort, and dense beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
Huo Xingwei nodded, let go of his hand, walked to Taichung and sat down, placed two tea bowls, and poured two bowls of tea.
"Virtuous nephew, come, taste the tea made by the old man himself. ”
Yuan Bingde let go of his hands, his fingertips were already painful, he didn't understand what Huo Xingwei meant by this move, was it to warn himself?
Rubbing his hands lightly, he walked to the table and sat down, took a sip of the tea bowl, and then said with a smile: "The national teacher still likes it, if he likes it, Bingde will send some more." ”
Huo Xingwei nodded, took a sip of the tea bowl and said: "The virtuous nephew is polite, the old man has borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, this tea, Ling Zun sent someone to send a lot of tea to the old man, you know, there are few guests in my national teacher's mansion, and I myself have enough to drink." ”
Originally, Yuan Bingde prepared a lot of words to talk to the national teacher, and even wanted to test his meaning, but when he sat in front of Huo Xingwei, he felt that Huo Xingwei's eyes seemed to be able to see everything, but he was afraid that if he had any ideas, he would have nothing to hide.
He had no choice but to drink tea, but fortunately the tea was not hot, and he quickly finished it.
Huo Xingwei asked, "Do you want to drink another one?"
Yuan Bingde shook his head, but he didn't hear the word "one" used by Huo Xingwei.
Huo Xingwei smiled but did not say a word, drinking tea alone.
After he put down the tea bowl in his hand, Yuan Bingde got up and said: "Master Guoshi, it's getting late, Bingde won't disturb your rest anymore, and I will leave." ”
Huo Xingwei nodded at him and said, "It's okay, then let's go back!"
Yuan Bingde saluted, walked towards the stargazing platform, and Huo Xingwei continued to drink tea.
It's just that after Yuan Bingde stepped down from the stargazing platform, he didn't realize that the person on the high platform was looking at him from afar at the moment.
Huo Xingwei sighed, Sima Ruolan fell in love with Yuan Bingde at first sight, who could stop this.
After listening to Yuan Bingde's story about what happened on the stargazing platform, Yuan Shixin frowned and looked at Yuan Bingde: "Then Huo Xingwei doesn't have to hurt you? Otherwise, why did he act like that? This person is really insidious and vicious, if you miss for a while, I'm afraid that ......"
After speaking, he slapped the table and stood up and scolded: "He Huo Xingwei is too deceitful!"
Yuan Bingde stood up, took his father's arm and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Father, you are too concerned about my safety, and you are out of order, think about it, in the National Teacher's Mansion, if the National Teacher wants to harm me, I Yuan Bingde is only afraid that it will not be enough to die a hundred times, where do you still need such means?"
Yuan Shixin patted Yuan Bingde's hand and said softly: "Bingde, I am a son like you, if you have any mistakes, what's the use of us planning so much?"
Yuan Bingde nodded and said, "Father, rest assured, I will pay attention to my own safety." ”
Looking at the dancing candles on the table, Yuan Bingde continued: "Our national teacher, I admire him from the bottom of my heart, but it's a pity that the Tao is not the same, father, my Yuan family wants to achieve supreme hegemony, and the national teacher must be eliminated." ”
Yuan Shixin nodded and said: "This is true, I think he Huo Xingwei is still towards the Sima family." ”
Yuan Bingde snorted lightly, and then sneered: "Father, I don't think the national teacher is really facing him Sima Imperial Family, since I took the stage, I am afraid that the national teacher is testing me, as for whether I can get into his eyes, the child is not sure, so I said, he Huo Xingwei, must die." Even if he supports my Yuan family, what about it? Where can we be safe and secure with everything in our own hands?"
Yuan Bingde, who was clenching his fists, seemed to be a little distorted under the reflection of the candle flames.
Yuan Shixin was silent for a moment and asked, "When are you going to do it?"
Yuan Bingde said softly: "Father, there is still a little chance left, soon!"
Yuan Shixin patted Yuan Bingde on the shoulder and said, "You let it go, what do you need your father to do, and my father will fully support you." ”
Yuan Bingde nodded, and then said: "Father, tomorrow I will go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and by the way, I will bring Chengzhi back." ”
Yuan Shixin said: "Go, this palace is also under my control, what does he Sima Wende do, he can't escape my eyes." ”
Yuan Bingde nodded.

Running into the gate of the martial arts hall, Cheng Shifei saw his senior brother Kong Lixiang who was teaching, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Kong, where is my father?"
Originally, seeing Cheng Cheng returning, Kong Lixiang was still ready to say hello, but when he saw Cheng Cheng Cheng with an anxious look on his face, he hurriedly replied: "Master is in the study, what's wrong, so anxious to find Master?"
Cheng Shifei nodded at Kong Lixiang and said, "Senior brother, I'll talk to you in detail when I go back, I'll go find my father first." ”
Kong Lixiang frowned, no, Brother Yuanxi didn't come back, could it be that the caravan had an accident on the road, and Xiao Fei came back to help?
Thinking about it like this, he felt that the situation was a bit serious, so he said to one of the disciples: "Hurry up and call Zhu, and the two of you will come over and learn from Zhou." ”
Cheng Shifei had already pushed open the door of Cheng Yunde's study, seeing that the door was pushed open, Cheng Yunde was a little displeased, and when he looked up and saw his son returning, he hurriedly got up and smiled: "It's Xiaofei who is back, it seems that this trip is going well, come and tell my father what happened on the road?"
Cheng Shifei had already rushed to Cheng Yunde, after a long absence, he suddenly saw his father, his nose suddenly became sore, and he grabbed Cheng Yunde's sleeve and said, "Dad, go and save Brother Yuan!"
Hearing Cheng Fei's words, Cheng Yunde was shocked, what was wrong? Hurriedly asked: "Xiao Fei, don't worry, make it clear, what's wrong with Yuan Xi? Where is your brother-in-law? Is the caravan back?"
Cheng Shifei wiped his tears and said: "Well, I'm back, I've all entered the city, my brother-in-law has gone home, it's Brother Yuan, and Brother Yuan was arrested by the people of the Zhennan Army?"
Hearing that the convoy had returned safely, Cheng Yunde's heart relaxed, and then he said in surprise: "Yuan Xi was captured by the people of the Zhennan Army? What's the matter? Didn't you just come back?"
Cheng Shifei didn't think that the soldier said "please" and really asked Yuan Xi to go over for tea, in his opinion, his eldest brother Yuan was arrested, the tears stopped, he snorted a few times and said: "I don't know, just entered the city, there were people waiting for Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan asked me to come back first, and he followed to the camp of the Zhennan Army." ”
After speaking, he wiped his eyes again and said, "Dad, I guess it must be because of the last hunting incident in Songguo Mountain, they must have said bad things about Brother Yuan, and Uncle Lu believed their slander and waited to catch Brother Yuan." ”
Cheng Yunde patted Cheng Zhifei's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Fei, don't worry, things may not be what you think, in this way, let's go over and take a look, after all, Yuan Xi is a person from our martial arts hall, and it is reasonable to go to visit, and then ask General Lu to see if there is any misunderstanding in it, if it is really because of the hunting in Songguo Mountain, you can tell the truth, he Lu Yiping can't be unreasonable no matter how much he protects the calf!"
Cheng Shifei nodded and said, "Dad, then let's go quickly!"
——————————————
Yuan Xi was not afraid to go to the Zhennan Army camp in his heart, but he was puzzled in his heart, what General Lu called him for, even if it was because of the Songguo Mountain incident, he was not afraid, because he was reasonable.
Whether it is inside the fist or outside the fist, he occupies both.
After arriving at the camp, the soldier took Yuan Xi to Zhou Bochang and bowed and retreated.
Zhou Bochang said with a smile: "It's Yuan Shaoxia who has returned, it's been a long journey, didn't you ask our people to come over before you arrived at the martial arts hall?"
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Brother Zhou, I don't know why you are in such a hurry to call me here?"
Zhou Bochang poured a glass of water for Yuan Xi and said: "Yuan Shaoxia drink saliva first, I don't know why the general is looking for you, you take a break here, and after the word is finished, I will take you to see the general." ”
Yuan Xi took the teacup, nodded, sat there and waited, and only after taking a sip, someone came to report that General Lu had an invitation.
When he arrived outside Lu Yiping's camp, Zhou Bochang said: "General, Yuan Shaoxia has been invited." ”
"Come in!"
Zhou Bochang said to Yuan Xi: "Yuan Shaoxia, please here!"
The two entered the camp tent and saw Lu Yiping sitting on the big seat, Yuan Xi secretly praised in his heart, no wonder he could give birth to a daughter like Lu Guanju, he was really a heroic general.
Lu Yiping said to Zhou Bochang: "Bochang, go down!"
Zhou Bochang glanced at Yuan Xi, nodded at him, and then said that he was retiring.
Lu Yiping stepped down from the big seat, came to Yuan Xi, looked at this young man who was slightly taller than him, and asked lightly, "You are Yuan Xi?"
Yuan Xi stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes did not squint, and said casually: "If I didn't, wouldn't the Zhennan Army invite the wrong person?"
Lu Yiping said twice, good boy, his tone is quite hard.
Then he found a chair and sat down casually, and said to Yuan Xi: "Don't be there, find a chair to sit on." ”
Yuan Xi glanced at Lu Yiping and sat opposite him, his hands resting on his knees, sitting upright.
Lu Yiping was very satisfied with Yuan Xi's sitting appearance, and it happened that Yuan Xi was sitting opposite him, so he looked at it carefully and nodded secretly, he really looked like a talent, similar to himself, and the girl's vision was as good as her mother's.
Coughing lightly, he was just about to speak, but Yuan Xi on the other side opened his mouth first and asked, "I don't know why General Lu came to me?"
Lu Yiping frowned slightly, this young man was a little angry.
What if my daughter likes it? I still have to check it well, this pass is real, how can I say that I like it if I like it? How many times have I met before?
After knowing that his daughter liked Yuan Xi, Lu Yiping checked the traces of Yuan Xi after he arrived in Pingnan City, and after careful checking, he felt that there was no big problem with Yuan Xi, but the origin was still a little unclear.
originally wanted to look at his daughter's face and be kind to this kid, but looking at that kid's posture, I didn't suppress and suppress his arrogance, but I was afraid that my daughter would suffer in the future.
Lu Yiping leaned back in the chair and said lightly: "Are you Wang Li Zhuang's family?"
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Sort of!"
"What do you mean?"
Yuan Xi remembered his little wooden man, and said softly: "When I was three years old, Master took me to Bazhou, and I lived on Tianyu Mountain, and I don't remember anything before I was three years old. ”
Lu Yiping nodded, and then asked, "Then who is your master?"
"Mountain Dweller!"
"What about the name?"
Yuan Xi frowned slightly, remembering what the master had said before going down the mountain, so he said, "I know, but I can't say it!"
Lu Yiping smiled, this kid is quite respectful, and he then asked: "At the beginning, you were on the official road, but you rescued General Ben's daughter?"
Yuan Xi nodded, and then said, "At that time, I didn't know that it was the general's daughter. ”
"Then why don't you admit that you did it?"
Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, and then said: "It was your people who guessed it themselves, I didn't mean to hide it!"
"What kind of kung fu is that?"
"Sparrows!"
"Good name, good fingering, but I have never heard of it, but this general is lonely and unheard. ”
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's normal for the general not to know, this is just the fingering I practiced in the mountains to catch birds and rabbits, and the master gave me a nice name." ”
Lu Yiping was taken aback, straightened up and said, "You mean that you created this fingering?"
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Sort of!"
Then he added, "Master has instructed me in practicing fingering. ”
Lu Yiping had already stood up, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then asked, "What kind of sect is your master?"
"I don't know!"
The expected answer, Lu Yiping asked again: "Then what is the name of your cultivation of internal strength? General Ben was born in the Qingyun Sect of Bazhou and learned the Qingxuan Gong of the sect's internal strength. ”
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, he didn't ask Lu Yiping, and then he replied: "The profound internal strength was taught by the master in the cave of Tianyu Mountain." ”
"How high and profound can it be? This name, haha, hahaha!"
After laughing a few times, Lu Yiping glared at Yuan Xi and said, "Are you a fool to be a general? What is the name of this? Does that mean that the palm technique you learned is still called a palm with one hand?"
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said: "Palm method, palm method has no name, as for the name of internal strength, anyway, the master said that it is called high and deep internal strength, do you believe it or not." ”
Lu Yiping saw that Yuan Xi's eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded and said, "Maybe your master deliberately concealed it, but it doesn't matter, it's just a name, what is it called." ”
Lu Yiping looked at Yuan Xi and smiled, he was an interesting young man, and when he saw General Ben, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had a character.
Standing in front of Yuan Xi, Lu Yiping asked softly: "Yuan Xi, let me ask you, are you willing to come to my Zhennan Army on an errand?"
At this time, someone came to report that the owner of the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion and the young hall owner came.
Lu Yiping smiled, just in time!
