Chapter 66: The Hospitality of Wu Xiu, King of Jiang
Originally, he and Jiang Wang Wu Xiu were people who had never met, and they both knew each other's thoughts, so even if they were warmly invited to enter the county king's mansion under false affection, but after realizing that Jiang Wang Wu Xiu was more loyal to Song Heng than he imagined, Chen Xikang only stayed in his mansion for one night.
"King Jiang, please stay. ”
As soon as he walked out of the mansion, Chen Xikang immediately turned around and said with a smile on the fat man who came behind him.
Even if he didn't have a good impression of these five short and three rough people in his heart, the smile on Chen Xikang's face was still bright.
"The rivers and lakes are big, everywhere is dangerous, the little nephew is young, remember not to be too impatient when traveling, everything and safety first, after all, the founding father is old, if the little nephew has some accidents, the founding prince will not sit on the master. ”
Seeing that Chen Xikang asked him to stay, Jiang Wang Wu Xiu also said with a smile, the care revealed in his tone was strong, which made Wei Qing and Dou Xian'er on the side a little envious, and at the same time, they were also impressed by Chen Xikang again.
After yesterday's invitation from King Jiang, the two knew that Chen Xikang was the son of the founding father.
Although there are many rumors about Chen Xikang in the world, and the fact that he was insulted by Princess Tutu in the court at the previous Chaoyuan meeting also came out, the identity of the founding son of the righteous still shocked Wei Qing and Dou Xian'er.
In addition, after personally seeing Chen Xikang use the sword before, the two of them who are not low in knowledge and cultivation know that Chen Xikang is not really as the world says, he is the unwise person who is obsessed with lust and has no strengths.
And who is the king of Jiang, the king of Jiujiang County, in charge of the two major cities of Bianjing and Yanjing, 100,000 elite towns guarding the Huai River, is one of the rare fierce generals among the strong men, he attaches so much importance to Chen Xikang, I think it is not just because of the founding father.
The founding prince is certainly worthy of admiration, but if you want people like King Jiang to look at Chen Xikang differently because of the founding father, I am afraid that it will be difficult.
Seeing that King Jiang was so enthusiastic and concerned about Chen Xikang, Wei Qing and Dou Xian'er began to guess in their hearts, but the two of them were in a calm and gentle environment all the year round, and they were even more deaf to the affairs of the court and politics.
Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, if a cunning person has the heart to hide himself, Wei Qing and Dou Xian'er can't see it if they only have a happy life in their hearts, but Chen Xikang can see it clearly.
Thinking of what Jiang Wang Wu Xiu said to himself last night, Chen Xikang actually felt a little chilly in his body in the hot weather.
"Thank you King Jiang for your troubles last night, and I hope King Jiang doesn't mind, and the little nephew will leave. ”
Chen Xikang, who was trembling in his heart, looked at the smiling tiger in front of him, smiled again, raised his hands slightly, and turned around and left with Lao Jin after making a salute.
The wide official robe can't cover the rich posture of Jiang King Wu Xiu's belly bulging high because of brocade clothes and jade food, but if someone thinks that this is a slow-moving, weak and fat person, it is really too stupid!
A military general who can command an army of 100,000, that one is not a killing god!
"Three hundred rides. ”
The smile on his face was still the same, but there was a deep light in his eyes, looking at the four people who had gone into the distance, Jiang Wang Wu Xiu said to the people around him.
Three hundred horsemen could not kill Chen Xikang, it was not to test Chen Xikang, it was just a means for Jiang Wang Wu Xiu to be loyal to Song Hengbiao.
Although I don't know where the old man next to Chen Xikang is, the founding prince is relieved that he is the only one to protect Chen Xikang in this extremely dangerous rivers and lakes, and he thinks that he has a very strong strength.
There is no doubt that the strength of the people above the martial arts is very strong and terrifying, but this does not mean that the strong people in the rivers and lakes are all gathered on the martial arts.
Since the world is peaceful, the name of martial arts has lost its true meaning, and many strong people are unwilling to fight for that name anymore, and that sloppy old man should be this kind of person.
"Brother Mu, no, it should be called Brother Chen now. I didn't expect you to be the righteous son of the founding father, I have been longing for the founding prince for a long time, this time I came out with my sister, and I had the intention of visiting the founding prince in the west, but I didn't expect to meet you here first. ”
After finally having the opportunity to talk to Chen Xikang, Wei Qing's surprised words today were only said now, but his smile did not decrease, and when he looked at the people around him, and wanted to continue to discuss with him more about the great achievements of the founding father, he saw the person with a heavy face beside him.
Seeing Chen Xikang appear with such a solemn expression, Wei Qing first glanced at the junior sister beside him with some six gods, and after seeing that the junior sister also looked puzzled, he looked at the handsome person next to him again and said weakly: "Brother Chen?"
"Brother Wei, Miss Dou, I hid my identity from the two of you before, and I had to do it as a last resort, I hope you don't mind. Also, for your safety, let's go our separate ways after that. ”
"Chen Xikang, what do you mean by that? Someone is going to kill you again?"
Seeing the person who suddenly became solemn and serious, thinking of what happened before, Dou Xian'er asked with a puzzled and puzzled expression. is obviously the son of the founding father, and Chen Xikang of the Jiang King team is still so enthusiastic just now, who would be so kind and crazy that he would dare to kill Chen Xikang in Jiujiang County?
I heard the master say that Chen Xikang worshiped under the Qingguang Sage, and his strength should not be weak, and Lao Jin's strength is still so terrifying, what kind of person would make him show such a worried look?
"There are countless people who want to kill me, but I think this next attack should be about to happen. However, the scale of this attack may be a bit large, so in order not to affect you, let's separate later. ”
Although he also knew from King Jiang that Wei Qing was the son of Wei Zhan, the king of Panlong County, Chen Xikang still gave up the idea of dealing with him.
With King Jiang's loyalty to Song Heng and his ruthless and decisive character, he definitely would not let himself leave Jiujiang County safely.
Since he already has the heart of rebellion, Song Heng must have the heart of killing himself!
Although he doesn't ask about the affairs of the government, let alone the situation in the world, Wei Qing is the son of King Wei Zhan after all, and he has heard about what happened in Chang'an, and when he heard Chen Xikang say this, his brows furrowed slightly.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and at this moment, Wei Qing is also pondering in his heart, Chen Xikang, the prince of the western region, he has never heard his father talk about it before.
Chen Xikang's waste and incompetence are not only regarded as a laughing stock by the upper class, but also by his repeated assassinations.
It is said that the number of assassins who died in Muping City to assassinate Chen Xikang was at least a hundred every year!
In this world, there are definitely many people who want Chen Xikang's life!
After looking at the junior sister beside him and thinking carefully in his heart, Wei Qing still said with a ashamed face: "Brother Chen, since you have said so, then I will not be hypocritical." You've seen it before, I'm a borderless person, it's okay to make a small fight, but once it reaches a critical moment, it's over if you drop the chain. ”
"If it's just me, for the sake of you, Brother Chen, a friend, I can risk my life! But when my junior sister is by my side, I must ensure her safety. ”
Although he was also born in the family of the county king, Wei Qing, who has never been interested in political affairs, even knew that the person in front of him was Chen Xikang, the righteous son of the founding of the country, who was criticized by people all over the world, but he still didn't think too much, he just really wanted to make friends with him, but considering the safety of his junior sister, he still took a step back.
"Wei Qing, although we have only known each other for a few days, we are already friends in the rivers and lakes! What is the most important thing in the rivers and lakes? It is spirit! If we leave now, won't we become a shameful person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? If you want to go, you can go by yourself, and I will be with Chen Xikang and Lao Jin. ”
Seeing that the people around her would make such cowardly words and deeds, Dou Xian'er suddenly became angry.
A dignified seven-foot man, what are you afraid of, you are afraid of death!
Seeing that the senior sister was furious, with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, Wei Qing wanted to speak again and again, and finally had to cast a look at Chen Xikang for help.
sighed in his heart, the rivers and lakes were indeed much freer than the court, and after feeling the meaning of asking for help in Wei Qing's eyes, the serious expression on Chen Xikang's face disappeared cleanly.
The smile was like a spring breeze, soft and silky, Chen Xikang's eyes looked at the person in front of him who had only seen him for a few days and had already regarded himself as a friend from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe it's because he has a lot of similarities with his junior sister, he actually has some desire to protect Dou Xian'er.
"Miss Dou, the reason why I let you and Brother Wei leave is not only for your safety, but also for the safety of me and Lao Jin. You have also seen Lao Jin's strength, and it is more than enough to protect me alone, but if you add you, it will not be good. Moreover, Brother Wei is still a borderless person, and his realm is unstable, so he will become a protector. ”
"The cultivation of Xiao Sanpin, in this mixed world of rivers and lakes, is still a little weak. ”
When he said these words, the smile on Chen Xikang's face remained gentle, but Dou Xian'er was a little unhappy when she heard it.
"Chen Xikang, you obviously dislike me for being weak! No matter how much my cultivation is much stronger than your junior one, you are not qualified to dislike me! But you have said it to such an extent, and if you are stubbornly fighting, it seems that I am not interesting. ”
"The rivers and lakes are so big, let's not see each other in the future!"
After being stimulated by Chen Xikang, Dou Xian'er, who was originally dedicated to his safety, felt aggrieved, and her tone became a little angry and aggressive, as if she didn't want to see Chen Xikang's high-sounding face again, and after finishing speaking, she shook her hand angrily and left.
"Brother Chen, I have long heard that you are a flower picker in a hundred gardens, you can smell the fragrance and know women, this method of dealing with women is really amazing. If you have a chance, you must teach me! I'm leaving, take care of yourself on the road. ”
Although it seemed to be disgusting, Wei Qing completely saw that Chen Xikang's words were completely said to stimulate the junior sister, but the junior sister had a simple personality and a glass heart, so she didn't think so much.
Looking at the two who gradually disappeared into the crowd and then disappeared completely, Chen Xikang shook his head, and a helpless smile appeared on his face. When I was on the mountain, I always wanted to amuse and tease my sister, and I wanted to deliberately make her angry, but after I left, I missed it a little.
"Old Jin, do you guess how many people will be waiting for us when we leave the city?"
In the crowded streets, Chen Xikang and Lao Jin gradually disappeared into the crowd, although they have only left the west for a long time, but recently they have been going around for their homes and seeking food everywhere, Chen Xikang also has more people's livelihood gas, after being so mixed in the crowd, if he doesn't see the face that makes the Mo Dou people sing praises, it is a little down-to-earth.
"I pinched my fingers, then Wu Xiu, the king of Jiang, is not a good person, Bianjing and Nanjing are his territory, if there are fewer people, he will lose his prestige, and if there are more people, he will anger the lord and accelerate the changes in the situation in the world. ”
"I guess there are at least three hundred horsemen outside the city. ”
"Three hundred rides, I'll pack fifty rides, and I'll leave the rest to you!"
Seeing that the prince around him was so arrogant, but he only had fifty rides, Lao Jin just pouted.
"Lord, don't you want to train yourself? Fifty rides is too little, how can you have to ride a hundred to be enough, and don't you have a shadow who is always by your side. ”
"What you said also makes sense, but it's still safe to ride fifty, and the shadow is my life talisman, so I don't need it if I can. However, when it comes to the experience of killing, I heard that there are some barbarian tribes living in the remote and wild land on the border, and the people of these tribes have almost no contact with the outside world, and everything in their lives is very primitive, including some of the killing techniques they have mastered. ”
"I've heard of it, the prince wants to learn?"
"Yes. ”
"Then let's go and see, there is an ancient tribe named Yao in the southern Xinjiang outside Nanjing. ”
When the master and servant walked all the way out of the city, as the crowd decreased, the excitement gradually stayed behind the two.
"Wei Qing, Chen Xikang is a person who is good at words and articulate, such a person can't be stupid, otherwise how can there be so many rhetoric to coax the joy of the girl's family. Did you say that he just said that, did he deliberately provoke me?"
After leaving angrily, Dou Xian'er, who had been thinking about what had just happened, suddenly opened her mouth a little absent-mindedly, and now that she thinks about it, Chen Xikang seems to have said it on purpose.
Seeing that the senior sister finally came to her senses, Wei Qing also felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she still said with a smile: "Senior sister, you think too much, Lao Jin's strength is so strong, Brother Chen didn't deliberately say that just to drive you away." ”
Although he wanted to deceive his junior sister, the unnatural expression on Wei Qing's face betrayed him.
"Wei Qing, you said you would never lie to me for the rest of your life, right?"
Seeing that the expressions around her were wrong, Dou Xian'er suddenly looked at the people around her domineeringly.
Under the fierce gaze, Wei Qing was finally defeated in the hands of his junior sister.
