Ji Daqiang was stunned.

Although Ji Daqiang had no feelings for King Lu at this time, the word father still sprouted a trace of longing in his heart, at least letting him know that he didn't jump out of the cracks in the stones.

If you don't meet, you can't talk about any emotions, but there is still the kind of expectation that is connected by blood.

Grandfather's words made Ji Daqiang feel a little uneasy.

Seeing this, Wei Long stroked Ji Daqiang's head lightly, and said softly: "In two days, I will arrange for you to go to the palace to meet the king." ”

Ji Daqiang bowed his head and was silent.

Wei Long continued: "You also have a half-brother, his name is Qi Delong, born to the princess, one year younger than you. ”

When Ji Daqiang heard this, he was a little happy, raised his head and asked, "Grandpa, I actually have a younger brother? Where is he? Can I go to see him?"

Seeing this, Wei Long stared at Ji Daqiang and said: "Child, you remember, although Qi Delong is your younger brother, he is also your enemy, and your mother's fate and your fate are all due to his mother, so you have to take back what you deserve." ”

Ji Daqiang raised his head and asked, "How should I take it?" Grandpa, where is my mother?"

Wei Long patted Ji Daqiang on the shoulder, pulled him back into the house, found a chair and sat down.

Ji Daqiang poured a cup of tea for his grandfather, and then stood behind Wei Long and gently beat the old man's shoulder.

Wei Long smiled at the corner of his mouth, picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, shook his head lightly and said, "Old, old." Child, your mother is in the palace, and her situation is better now, I will send someone to pick her up tomorrow, and your mother and son will reunite first. ”

The fist on his shoulder was a little scattered, and Wei Long knew that it was Ji Daqiang's heart that was disturbed.

The rights and wrongs of the palace, Wei Long did not say much to Ji Daqiang, and some words should be said by more suitable people.

Stretching out his hand and patting it back, Wei Long said: "Child, Mr. Lu will come to the house tomorrow, and he will still be your teacher, Mr. Lu is very talented, you have to consult him more about the strategy of determining the country, and grandpa, now there is still some Anbang ability, so you only need to do a good job of your son." In addition, I will tell you the good news, your senior brother Song Lanyu will also come to the mansion in two days. ”

"Really?"

Ji Daqiang happily jumped in front of Wei Long, lying on the table, smiling.

Wei Long shook his head and said, "You kid, where is there a little bit of the majesty of the world, remember, when you go out in the future, you must maintain your bearing, and you must not be childish, you know?"

Ji Daqiang pouted, nodded and said, "The child knows." ”

Then he pulled over the chair and sat opposite Wei Long, and said with a straight face: "General Wei, come, let's talk about what's going on!"

After speaking, Ji Daqiang stuck out his tongue and asked, "Grandpa, is this what it looks like!"

Wei Long stroked his beard and smiled: "When Mr. Lu comes, you can study hard." ”

After speaking, Wei Long got up and said: "Big wall, grandpa still has something to do, so I won't be here to accompany you, this yard is not small, just play in the yard, I will arrange someone to come over to serve you later, what do you need, you just say it directly." ”

Ji Daqiang looked at his grandfather, looked around again and asked, "Do I live here alone?"

Wei Long pressed Ji Daqiang's shoulder and stared at him, his gaze was a little terrifying.

"If you want to be the king of Qingzhou, you must learn to enjoy solitude!"

Wei Long is gone.

Ji Daqiang was stunned.

Grandpa Fangcai's gaze was a little scary, why should he enjoy loneliness, growing so big, what he was most afraid of was loneliness.

He was smiling, he wanted to be a spring breeze, he wanted to be closer to people, but since he was a child, except for the senior brother and the master, although the others were very kind to him, they were far away from him.

The kind of alienation that rejects him from his bones, he doesn't know why.

He once asked his senior brother, why?

Senior brother told him, because you are Ji Daqiang, Master's little disciple, Senior Brother's little junior brother, and ......

The words that the senior brother didn't finish speaking, but now he understands that he is Wei Long's grandson, the son of King Lu, and His Royal Highness the Prince.

Why was he accepted as a disciple by the head of the family as soon as he went up the mountain, and why could Mr. Lu build a Zhaoxianglu on Gushu Mountain to teach him to read and hyphenate and give him literary handouts.

What these others don't know is transformed into speculation, compiled into a tall door wall, with them on one side of the wall, and a lonely wall on the other side of the wall.

Ji Daqiang looked into the distance, and the clouds were thick.

————————

Approaching Xinling City, Zhang Zhongqian arranged for the caravan to rest in Xiangshui Town, fifty miles outside the city.

Careful budgeting is the duty of a businessman.

There was nothing to do, Yuan Xi and Chen Suisui took a turn around the town, there were two iron shops, but they both played some farm tools and the like, and there were no blades to sell.

Cheng Shifei looked at the sky and proposed: "Brother Yuan, why don't we go to Xinling City for a walk, it's only noon, and we can come back before sunset." ”

Yuan Xi also wanted to go to Xinling City to have a look, so he replied: "It's okay, but you can't delay on the way!"

Cheng Shifei jumped to his feet and said with a smile: "No, now my kung fu of running away has made great progress." ”

Yuan Xi turned his head and asked Chen Suisui on the side, "Suisui, let's go, let's go shopping together!"

Chen Suisui shook his head and said, "Brother Yuan, Xiao Fei, you two go, I'd better go back and help Brother Zhang, in case there is any accident, I can stay and take care of it." ”

Yuan Xi looked at Cheng Shifei when he heard the words and said, "Xiao Fei, or let's not go." ”

Cheng Shifei rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Yuan, if you go further, you have to pass through Erlong Mountain and Niujiao Mountain, your sword is gone, so how can you do it?"

Chen Suisui also said: "Brother Yuan, you and Xiao Fei go, there is me here, it should be fine, after all, it is in the town, at most, the local ruffians come to make trouble." “

If they were bare ruffians, Chen Suisui wouldn't have to make a move, just relying on the guards of the Zhang Mansion to make them drink a pot.

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said: "Suisui, then it's hard for you, I'll buy a sword and come back!"

Chen Suisui nodded and turned to leave.

Yuan Xi and Cheng walked in the direction of Xinling City.

Out of Xiangshui Town, the two glanced at each other and ran away.

Yuan Xi still takes care of Cheng right and wrong very much, otherwise with his light skills, he would have already thrown Cheng right and wrong away, and after running for nearly thirty miles, Cheng right and wrong were a little unbearable, stopped his body, panted, and immediately found a clean place to sit cross-legged and regulate his breath.

Yuan Xi had nothing to do, so he took out the small bag in his arms and grabbed a few peanuts to eat.

After the pranayama was completed, Cheng Shifei breathed a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and found Yuan Xi eating peanuts, so he asked, "Brother Yuan, don't you need pranayama?

Cheng Shifei was suddenly shocked: "This thing works?"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the use?"

When Cheng heard it, he thought it was wrong, and grinned: "I thought that Brother Yuan was so fierce, he must have eaten peanuts." ”

Yuan Xi glared at right and wrong, and said: "Master said that people's energy, one is born, and the other is practice, I haven't heard of anything that depends on eating." ”

Cheng Shifei pouted and said: "Brother Yuan, you don't understand this as well as me, don't say anything else, the tiger whiskers and tiger bones that Senior Brother Zhao gave to my father were all used by my father to make wine, but I asked him what was the use, and my father told me that if Senior Brother had sent it a few years earlier, maybe I would have one more younger brother come out." ”

Yuan Xi was taken aback and asked, "Cheng Shibo really said this, I have eaten tiger meat many times, what does this have to do with your extra little brother?"

Cheng was stunned for a moment, then approached Yuan Xi and asked quietly: "Brother Yuan, you don't understand the affairs of men and women, right?"

Yuan Xi was stunned.

Cheng Shifei smiled evilly: "That's the one, the thing that can give birth to dolls." ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Xi understood what Cheng was talking about, but he really didn't know about men and women, so he asked Xiang Cheng right and wrong: "Xiao Fei, the master didn't teach me, I really don't know, why don't you tell me." ”

Cheng Shifei looked at Yuan Xi with wide eyes, and said, "No, no, Brother Yuan, are you looking for me to be happy?"

Yuan Xi said with a straight face: "Learning is endless, besides, this birth and rearing children is the principle of the reproduction of all things, this should be regarded as an orthodox knowledge, but I don't know why the master hasn't told me, Xiao Fei, you have studied in the academy, you must know this principle, tell me quickly." ”

Cheng Shifei looked at Yuan Xi, who was eager to learn, and wanted to slap himself, how could this meat talk learned from his partners be so easy to use here with Brother Yuan.

If you don't return to Pingnan City, find a way to take Brother Yuan to go to Songzhu Curator to see it.

With an embarrassed smile, he scratched his head and said, "Brother Yuan, I don't know, I thought you knew, that's why I want you to tell me." ”

Yuan Xi was skeptical, "Really?"

Cheng is right and wrong, "Really, Daddy doesn't tell me!"

Yuan Xi asked again: "How do you know what Cheng Shibo said about the little brother?"

Cheng wanted to cry without tears, and muttered and said: "It was my father who talked to my brother-in-law and let me hear it, and my father wanted to give the wine he brewed to my brother-in-law to drink, saying that it would help give birth to a baby, and I overheard it." ”

Yuan Xi let out an "oh" and stuffed the peanuts into his arms.

Cheng Shifei asked, "Brother Yuan, do you like to eat peanuts?"

Yuan Xi looked at the few peanuts left in his hand and said, "It's okay, but this one is still very useful." ”

Cheng Shifei asked curiously, "What's the use?"

Yuan Xi smiled, and with a flick of his fingers, a small sparrow was planted.

Seeing this, Cheng ran over and picked up the little bird that could still flutter its wings a few times and said, "That's it?"

Yuan Xi pointed to a tree a few feet away and said, "You go and see that tree." ”

Cheng Shifei followed the direction pointed by Yuan Xi, and when he was close to the tree, he was still looking around, to see if there was a peanut embedded in the bark, but he didn't find it after looking for a long time, and turned around and said: "Brother Yuan, what are you looking at, there is nothing!"

Yuan Xi stared at the hole in the tree and said, "Hole, that hole, do you see it." ”

Cheng Shifei had already seen this small hole, he thought it was a worm hole, and when he saw Yuan Xi say, he leaned over, put his face in front of the tree, and squinted at the tree hole.

He didn't see peanuts, but he saw another tree.

The tree has been penetrated.

Cheng Shifei was shocked, and turned back suspiciously and asked, "Brother Yuan, are you beating peanuts?"

Yuan Xi nodded.

Cheng Shifei asked again: "When did I fight?

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Didn't you just see it?"

Cheng Shifei opened his mouth and said, "Hit, when you hit the birds, you shoot out two peanuts?"

Yuan Xi nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go!"

Cheng Shifei returned to Yuan Xi and asked, "Brother Yuan, why don't you use this kung fu when you are fighting against others? ”

Yuan Xi shook his head slightly and said: "The opportunity is rare, there may not be a chance to make a move, a careless move, I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity, this surprise finger is very effective on ordinary people, so I carry a bag of peanuts in my arms, in case there are many robbers, we should have a guard." ”

Cheng Zhengfei has also seen many books, he understands this truth, after all, no matter how high the master's martial arts are, there will be a sense of lack of skills, in case the other party relies on the number of people to take the lead, someone on his side falls into the hands of bandits, it is inevitable that Brother Yuan will be bogeyed.

Heifeng Village didn't see Brother Yuan's kung fu, which made Cheng regret it very much.

Cheng Shifei had such a picture in his mind, a group of thieves rushed forward with their knives, Brother Yuan was in charge, and with a wave of his hands, a group of people fell.

This kung fu is too bullying.

Yuan Xi patted the right and wrong that was a little stunned, and the two of them rushed towards the road ahead.

When they arrived at Xinling City, the two did not wander around, and when they found out the location of the blacksmith shop, they went straight away.

The blacksmith's shop clanked, and when he saw a guest coming, the blacksmith took the hammer, and casually inserted the hammering iron into the cold water to quench it, and greeted him.

"Two sons, what do you want to see?"

Looking at the dress of these two sons, they must not have come to buy farm tools, the blacksmith led the two directly to the house, and there were several well-beaten blades hanging on the wall, mainly knives and swords.

Yuan Xi opened his mouth and said, "I want to buy a sword." ”

Cheng Cheng on the side followed and said: "The shopkeeper, but if it is good, don't take out the defective products." ”

The blacksmith laughed and said, "This guest officer is joking, the blades I hammer are all good, and they are among the best in our Xinling City." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the wall with weapons hanging on it, "It's here, the guest officer chooses at will!"

Cheng Shifei looked at the swords and knives on the wall and said, "Are they all here?"

The blacksmith named Iron Hammer nodded, and said in a rough voice: "It's all here, these weapons, few people buy them, just these on the wall, they have been hanging for a long time, and no one cares about them." ”

Someone coughed lightly, he was the big disciple of Iron Hammer, he had been learning to strike iron with him for almost five years, and he couldn't afford to open a new shop, so he had been following the master.

As soon as these two guests entered the store, he packed up and hurriedly entered the house, and happened to hear Master talking.

After coughing, he glanced at the knife he was carrying on his back, and said with a smile on his face: "Two guest officers, the main reason is that the quality of our weapon is too good, and the price is slightly higher. ”

After a pause, seeing that the two did not answer, he continued: "I think the two sons are extraordinary, and they should be serious masters, why don't I take off the sword and show the two of them?"

Iron Hammer looked at the disciple who was talking eloquently, and said with a smile: "Ji Ling, then you can entertain the two guests, I'll be busy." ”

Ji Ling, who was taking a sword off the wall, said, "Master, you should get busy." ”

After speaking, he handed the sword to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi took the sword handed over by Ji Ling, pulled it out casually, looked at the sword body, and knocked it with his fingers, listening to the sound of the sword.

It is indeed two points better than the sword that Ping Nancheng bought, but it is still an ordinary sword.

Yuan Xi handed the sword to Ji Ling, stepped forward himself, and looked at the other ones.

The swords are all made by the same person, and there are no other special materials, so there is not much difference.

Ji Ling didn't say much, he knew that if he spoke at this time, it would be easy to dislike the guests.

Yuan Xi looked at Ji Ling and asked, "Are there any other swords?"

Ji Ling said with a smile: "Several of the swords that my master fought are here, don't you even look down on this young man?"

Cheng Shifei said casually on the side: "Your master is here, what about yours? Could it be that you can only sell things?"

Yuan Xi casually took off a sword and was about to ask the price.

Seeing this, Ji Ling, who wanted to persuade Yuan Xi to buy this sword, frowned, and then smiled: "This little boy is joking, I have studied iron striking with my master for five years, and I have been an apprentice for two years, and I have also fought with blades. ”

Ji Ling had only fought one blade, one sword, and one short sword.

The blade of the sword was only half the length of an ordinary long sword, and it was used by him to practice, but this short sword poured a lot of effort into him.

The master also laughed at him, saying that no matter how well you fight, no one will buy such a short-sized sword, and our shop should be kind when doing business.

Ji Ling put the sword away and took it out to take a look.

At his age, building a divine blade is much more interesting than farming.

Turning around and walking to the back room, he found the place where he put his sword, and took out his first sword, and he also gave it a name, called two feet one.

Because this sword is two feet long, and the average long sword should be as long as four feet.

walked out with a small sword, but Ji Ling handed the sword to Cheng Shifei.

"Little boy, what do you think of this sword?"

Cheng Shifei had never seen a sword of this size, but when the sword was pulled out, the sword body was like a pool of autumn water, and with a flick of his fingers, the sword sound was crisp.

Cheng Shifei actually doesn't know much about swords, but he just learns Yuan Xi's actions and pretends to be.

casually handed the sword to Yuan Xi, "Brother Yuan, take a look, it's just that this sword is too short."

Ji Ling was about to speak, but Yuan Xi said: "How many silver taels does this sword cost, I also want it." ”

Ji Ling heard the meaning of Yuan Xi's words, but he was a little unsure, so he asked again: "Is Shaoxia going to buy two swords?"

Yuan Xi raised the sword he had taken off earlier, and pointed to the short sword that he had taken from Cheng Shifei's hand with his left hand with the hilt of the sword and said, "Yes, I want both." ”

Cheng Shifei asked, "Brother Yuan, who are you?"

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "This short sword is just for Sui Sui, and the knife that your brother-in-law gave him is actually not very easy for him to use." ”

On the side, Ji Ling was calculating in his heart, the master's sword cost at least six taels of silver, and his own, in the words of the master, should be counted as defective products, after some calculation, he said: "Since the guest officer wants to buy two, then I will give up one point, and the price of the two swords is ten taels of silver." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Okay!"

Then he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his bosom, handed them over, and said, "Look at it, is it enough!"

I thought that the other party would bargain, and I would give up the false price of one or two taels of silver, and I would make a steady profit for nine taels of silver, but I didn't expect the other party to be so refreshing.

After taking the silver, he went to weigh it, came back and said: "This young man, the silver is ten taels and two coins, and the two coins are too small, so I will find you twenty copper coins." ”

Yuan Xi didn't take the copper coin, and said with a smile: "In this case, these twenty copper coins should be your hard-earned money." ”

Ji Ling's heart blossomed, and he said with a smile: "Thank you Shaoxia." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "You have a good sword, if you have the opportunity, you can continue to practice this craft." ”

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Xie Shaoxia!"

There's nothing happier than someone affirming that they're coming.

Yuan Xi and Cheng Shifei walked out of the door, nodded at the hammer, and wanted to leave, but they were attracted by the lively sound in the city, Cheng Shifei turned around and asked Ji Ling, who was sent out of the door: "This big brother, what is the matter with such excitement in the city? Why are there still some noisy sounds?"

Ji Ling stepped forward and said: "It seems that today is really an auspicious day of the zodiac, our small shop came to you two distinguished guests, the city is lively, because there are two restaurants opened, but they are all selected today, you said that it is not a coincidence, the two restaurants are not far away, and they have invited the music class to come to help the fun, this is not the two restaurants to be more energetic, originally according to common sense, this music class blowing and playing is enough, but the two bosses seem to be ruthless, ruthlessly smashing silver, both sides have been blowing more than ten games, and there is no stop. ”

Cheng Shifei was puzzled: "Isn't Leban tired, can't you persuade the restaurant owner?"

Ji Ling smiled and said: "This young master, who still can't get along with silver, today's trading is enough for these two music classes to earn ten days and a half a month, do you say he will do it or not?"

Yuan Xi asked casually, "Didn't anyone persuade you?"

Ji Ling thought to himself, no wonder these two were so generous, they didn't understand the way of trading.

Listening to the movement, he laughed and said: "Here again, here again, this young man, some small shops selling melons, fruits and snacks next to him, but they all take food to see the excitement, a group of people who watch the excitement are tired, and they can still buy some, some people do small business, some people listen to the music class in vain, who do you say is willing to persuade? ”

Cheng grabbed his head and muttered: "Isn't this cheap for others to take advantage of!"

Ji Ling said: "Not necessarily, at least the people of Xinling City have remembered these two restaurants, but according to my opinion, this restaurant is not popular, and it is not necessary to see whether the dishes are good or not, whether the wine is pure or not, and whether the price is fair." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "What you say is very reasonable. ”

At this time, a big yellow dog came out of nowhere, barking at Yuan Xi and Cheng Shifei.

Cheng Shifei was startled, and hid behind Yuan Xi with a "Mom" and yelled at the dog.

Yuan Xi held Cheng Shifei's shoulder and said softly: "Xiao Fei, are you playing with Fei Fei?" this dog, when you bark at you, you don't need to pay attention to it, sometimes, the more you pay attention to it, the more it will bark, if you ignore it, it will stop barking a few times, maybe it barks, just to have a bone to eat." ”

Cheng Zheng's reaction startled Ji Ling, but he didn't expect this young man with a knife to be afraid of dogs, and he was funny in his heart, but he went to leash the dog, and shouted: "If you can't control you one day, you will come out to scare people, and one day the young master will not be hungry for meat, so he will stew you." ”

Seeing Ji Ling, Cheng Cheng drove the dog to the backyard in a few moments, pouted and whispered: "Brother Yuan, this dog is really annoying!"

Yuan Xi smiled: "There is something more annoying than a dog, let's go!"

The two left Xinling City and ran in the direction of Xiangshui Town.

On the way, Yuan Xi was thinking about the words of the guy at the blacksmith shop.

As the saying goes, the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, and this is indeed the case with the authorities, but it is just this bystander.

Is he really clear?

How many bystanders have unwittingly become a different kind of authority?
