CHAPTER XXIII

Rivalry for Grace (2)

Xun Jin watched Wang Mang adopt his own proposal, and couldn't help but feel proud, and then said: "The key to the victory or defeat of this battle is to have a powerful and meticulous work, and Weichen feels that Xun Sheng, as the righteous son of Zhao Gonggong, will definitely be able to repay the great emperor's grace." Wang Mang asked Zhao Chengen and said, "I don't know if this Xun Sheng is competent?"

Zhao Chengen bowed his head and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, that Xun Sheng is the only son of King Xun, although he is only twelve years old, but his martial arts have been trained by the King himself, and he is already a leader among his peers, and his mind is even more alert to his father's true inheritance." The old slave loved this child very much, so he accepted him as a righteous son, and expected that this child would be competent. When Wang Mang heard this, he immediately looked at Xun Jin and said: "That Xun Sheng is actually the only seedling in your family, why don't you mention it in this section?"

Xun Jin said in his heart: "Father-in-law Zhao will tell you for me." At the moment, he pretended to be sad and said: "As the so-called 'gentleman worries about the humiliation of the ministers', the trivial things in the rivers and lakes are tired of His Majesty's worries, which is a great shame for my Xun Jin, because no matter how much price is paid, Weichen will definitely exterminate the Xuanyuan faction for His Majesty." The reason why Shicai concealed it and did not report it was because he was afraid of the mercy of the saints, and he did not allow Weichen to send his son to enter the Xuanyuan General Altar. ”

Although Wang Mang saw that Xun Jin intended to flatter and invite merit, in order to win people's hearts, he immediately praised him: "Xun Aiqing is loyal, I heard that your sect leader only has one granddaughter left, and if you want to come in the future, you have to choose one person from the nine Dharma kings to inherit the position of sect leader, and you can serve me loyally." Xun Jin said in his heart: "Since this gang has returned to the imperial court, the saint intends to ask me to inherit the position of the sect leader, who in the sect dares to disobey." Thinking of this, he immediately bowed down happily and said: "The minister will go to the soup for the saint, and he will not give up his death, and the dog will also bow to the court and die." ”

Wang Mang said with a smile: "Aiqing Ping, I have my own way to protect your bloodline, I can make him pretend to be the name of the Han family's clansman, and go to the Xuanyuan General Altar like this, which will save a lot of trouble." Xun Jinxi said: "The saint is wise and martial, and Weichen is so impressed that he throws himself to the ground." Then he knelt down again. Wang Mang said with a smile: "Now that the New Year is approaching, I want to reward your sect leader with 5,000 pieces of grain and grass, and another 3,000 Hu from the Heavenly Division." Xun Jin listened, hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and then turned around and sat down.

Wang Mang saluted Meng Weiji with a bottle of wine, and said: "The Tianzhi Gang treats the national teacher like this, I don't know what Aiqing's plan is?" Meng Weiji replied to Wang Mang, and then said: "Although Yao Sufeng has inherited the throne, Weichen is not convinced by him, and one day Weichen will regain the position of the gang leader, and thoroughly investigate who killed the daughter of the former gang leader, so that the immortal died. ”

Wang Mang suddenly felt that the national teacher seemed to treat the woman with affection, and then said: "Although I have never met the daughter of the former gang leader, I expect that she must be a beautiful woman of a generation. Meng Weiji said to Wang Mang again: "If the Holy Lord can send elite soldiers to help the minister regain the position of the gang leader, the minister will definitely lead tens of thousands of people in the gang for His Majesty's guidance, and the countless gold, silver and jewels in the general rudder will also be dedicated to Your Majesty." ”

Wang Mang said in his heart: "The official army has suffered defeats before, if I send soldiers and horses to help you seize the throne, it will definitely lose a lot of money, and after you regain the throne, I am afraid that I will not give the money in the gang to the imperial court·······" Thinking of this, he actually snorted to himself and said: "I know that Meng Aiqing's martial arts are unfathomable, so I ordered the national teacher to help train the soldiers in the capital. If Aiqing can join forces with the old and old gangs, regain the position of the gang leader, and make the gang return to me, it will be a miracle for the Daxin Dynasty, and he will definitely be a marquis. ”

Xun Jinguan saw that Meng Weiji suddenly obtained 5,000 soldiers and horses, and said secretly in his heart: "You bastard bird has taken shit luck, and you can ask the emperor for 5,000 soldiers and horses in a few words." Lao Tzu, as the Dharma King of the Heavenly Division, has a very high status in the sect, but there are only 10,000 people under the seat, even if your martial arts are really as unfathomable as the rumors in the rivers and lakes, an outcast can lead so many soldiers and horses. Although he was secretly jealous, he didn't dare to show it in front of Wang Mang, so he had to congratulate him.

Qin Miaohong has served Xun Jin for a long time, and she is also smart, she saw the other party's thoughts early, and bowed to Meng Weiji at the moment, and said: "The name of the predecessor is like thunder, and Miaohong has always admired it. Meng Weiji saw that she had bad intentions, so he just said lightly: "The girl has won the award, what else do you have to teach, hurry up and speak up." Qin Miaohong said: "When the concubine meets the martial arts seniors, she wants to ask for advice, so she can make progress in martial arts, and the little woman invites the seniors to accompany me to try a few tricks, I don't know if the seniors can reward a golden face, not like before, even a glass of water and wine can not accompany the juniors to drink." ”

Xun Jin secretly said in his heart: "If my concubine can have a few tricks with Meng Weiji, he can give this Dharma King some face, even if Meng Weiji wins, but he is also bullying the junior woman, and it will be disgraceful to pass it on." Thinking of this, he only cared about respecting Wang Mang's wine, and did not say much.

That Meng Weiji is a famous martial arts master, so he stroked his beard and said quietly: "Very good, if you want to practice, you can practice." Having said that, he still sat upright, his eyes half-closed, and his face looked disdainful.

Qin Miaohong's light luck was light, and she jumped to the middle of the main hall, and said in a loud voice: "The little woman has heard the name of Mr. Su, so she mustered up the courage to beg her seniors for advice, but she didn't expect that the national teacher had a big shelf, which is really embarrassing for the slave family." ”

Yun Qi knew that if the master didn't make a move, others would inevitably criticize him for pretending to be high, but if he started with this Ji man, it would also cause a lot of gossip. Yun Qi thought of this section, so he hugged his fist at Qin Miaohong and said: "If you don't dislike it, I would like to fight for the master, how about we learn a few tricks from each other?" Qin Miaohong groaned slightly, and then said: "Since this is the case, General Chengyun will give in." ”

Yun Qi jumped in front of Qin Miaohong, then drew his saber and said, "Let's send out the blade." Qin Miaohong untied the seven-foot red silk wrapped around her waist, and said charmingly: "This is the concubine's weapon, General Yun can ask his subordinates to be merciful." "Let's talk about it, dancing silk and painting whirlpools, graceful and deceiving.

Yunqi held the sword in his left hand, recruiting light and shadow in the field, he saw that the other party's body was light and fast, and he was by no means a mediocre hand, and he wanted to save face for his master at the moment, so he tried his best to parry. Qin Miaohong danced the red silk enchantment, and fought with the cloud flag. Na Ji was dressed in a silk skirt to resist the wind, her jade legs lightly showed her ice muscles, and she wrapped her hand around with red silk, which could bind the nobles and fight for their heads.

Wang Mang looked at this situation, and secretly said in his heart: "This woman looks quite like Zhao Hede back then, and she is several points better, Yunqi's sword move is dazzling, if that beauty is drawn a bloody mark, it will be a pity." Xun Jin squinted at Wang Mang's worried face, staring directly at Miaohong, and then secretly thought: "The emperor may have taken a fancy to me, and the king of this law can find an opportunity to invite him to taste the taste of this concubine." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but show a lewd smile.

Qin Miaohong did not want to lose to Yunqi, but she was afraid of offending the powerful people in the court, and she did not dare to win against the other party. Yun Qi made several moves in a row, but the sword blade could only pass by her, unable to hurt her in the slightest, only then did she see that the other party deliberately gave in, and the previous dissatisfaction was cut by half, and the offensive in her hand was also slowed down. Meng Weiji drank and ate food by himself, as if he didn't care about the victory or defeat of the two of them.

Qin Miaohong fought with Yun Qi again, and suddenly stepped on the sword blade of the opponent's sweeping side, and then jumped over the top of Yun Qi's head, shook the ribbon in his hand suddenly, and struck straight towards Meng Weiji's door. The red silk was tied with five small rings of fine iron at both ends, and small thorns were cast on the rings, which were enough to penetrate the flesh and skin, and Qin Miaohong only had to hurt the grandmaster in the slightest, and it would make the other party lose face.
