Section 463: Opening the bet
"Xi Imperial Doctor, how is Brother Cang?"
After a while, Xi Linfeng walked out alone, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Chengjie who was waiting for the result outside the door.
"What, Master Li, you can't believe in your medical skills?"
Xi Linfeng's fingers trembled slightly. Although he wiped and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead before he came out, the sweat marks on his forehead were still clearly visible.
"Hi Imperial Doctor, it's been a hard time these past few days. You can rest assured. When Brother Cang woke up, the official immediately entered the palace to ask for a few jars of palace jade liquid for the imperial doctor. ”
Seeing this, Li Chengjie hurriedly said with a smile.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. The frequency of visits in the past few days is too high, and Xi is tired and thin. ”
Xi Linfeng heard Li Chengjie talk about the palace jade liquid, snorted lightly, and then touched his stomach, and said with satisfaction.
"Lord Li rest assured, Master Cang is fine for the time being, and when he cleans it up by himself, Lord Li will naturally be able to see Gongzi Cang, who is as strong as before. ”
Xi Linfeng said slowly. Li Chengjie could hear it, and when Xi Linfeng said this, he sighed himself. It was as if the whole process was going extremely smoothly.
"Hello Imperial Doctor, I'm tired. ”
Li Cheng's masterpiece thanked him.
"Master Li is serious, just don't forget Xi's drink. ”
"Master Li, I can't stay for a long time, I have to hurry up and go back to the Tai Hospital. The elixirs that Lord Li needs, Lin Feng has to hurry back and arrange them before he can hand them over to Lord Li in the evening. ”
Xi Linfeng said in a loud voice.
"Good, good, happy for the hard work of the imperial doctor. After a while, the official will go to the palace, just take a few jars of wine, like the pills prepared by the imperial doctor, and the official will go to pick it up. ”
Li Chengjie handed it over, and sent Xi Linfeng out of the Yuan Mansion all the way.
......
When Li Chengjie sent Xi Linfeng out of the Yuan Mansion and returned to Yunxian Courtyard, Cang Hao had already walked out of the room.
"Brother Cang, how do you feel?"
Li Chengjie hurriedly stepped forward and asked loudly.
"Master Li, that doctor is really a miracle doctor, Cang feels very good now. ”
While Cang Hao spoke, he deliberately waved his arms and clenched his fists, full of momentum.
"Well, it should be better to participate in the Immortal Contest in this way. ”
Li Chengjie nodded, patted Cang Hao's shoulder, and then said in a deep voice.
"Well, I've been in a coma for a long time, but I still have to exercise and move my muscles and bones. The swordsmanship and body skills are a little rusty. ”
Cang Hao's voice was like a bell, as if he had been holding back for a long time before, and now he could finally vent.
"Well, Rong'er, come over here. ”
Li Chengjie waved his hand and called.
"Yes, master. ”
When Rong'er heard this, she trotted to Li Chengjie's side.
"Brother Cang, she is my second disciple, Geng Furong, let this disciple of mine accompany Brother Cang for a while, let's learn a thing or two. Think of it as a workout. ”
Li Chengjie touched Geng Furong's little head and said to Cang Hao.
"Li Gongzi, you have accepted a woman as an apprentice? ”
Hearing this, Cang Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled. Listening to Cang Hao's tone, Geng Furong only felt as if her little face was boiling again.
"Brother Cang, don't underestimate my female disciple, she is going to participate in this year's Immortal Contest with Brother Cang. ”
When Li Chengjie heard this, his voice was a little deeper, and he patted Cang Hao's shoulder and said.
"Oh, yes? another amazing girl. ”
When Cang Hao heard this, he actually bowed slowly to Geng Furong.
"How dare you!"
Seeing this, Geng Furong took a half step back, and said politely.
"Brother Cang, you can help me, a master, to try how Xiao Rong'er's cultivation is in a while, but don't show mercy to your subordinates. ”
Li Chengjie said with a smile.
Cang Hao didn't speak when he heard this, but just looked sideways at Geng Furong.
"Master, you are bad!"
Geng Furong stomped her foot, as if she was angry, and turned her back.
"Okay, Rong'er, take out the Liubi swordsmanship that the teacher taught you in a while, and use it practically, you don't have to show mercy to his subordinates, and you don't have to worry about his face. If you can use the swordsmanship as a teacher, you can directly defeat Brother Cang, and it will also greatly promote the prestige of my teacher. ”
Li Chengjie said with a laugh.
"Li Gongzi, you are underestimating Cang. ”
When Cang Hao heard this, he also chuckled. Then he said lightly. To be honest, although Cang Hao admired Geng Furong's courage, from his heart, Cang Hao did not think that he would be defeated in the hands of Li Chengjie's apprentice.
"Young Master Cang, Rong'er has consulted. ”
After Cang Hao finished speaking, but without waiting for Li Chengjie to speak again, Geng Furong suddenly turned around, held a vain sword, bowed and said.
"Brother Cang, you have to be careful. I still have some things to deal with, so let's have a good discussion here. ”
"Rong'er, come on!"
Seeing this, Li Chengjie nodded slightly, then said softly, turned around and left here.
"Fleur girl, please. ”
After Li Chengjie left, Cang Hao found a relatively open place, held his sword and said.
"Young Master Cang, be careful. ”
Geng Furong finally spoke, instantly drew her sword, turned her body and turned her sword, and the Liubi swordsmanship was instantly displayed.
"Well, yes, come again. ”
Seeing this, Cang Hao did not draw his sword, but used the sword scabbard horizontally to resist Geng Furong's attack, and finally the sword scabbard shook violently, and under the fierce slap, Geng Furong was shocked back three steps. However, seeing that Geng Furong was only shocked back three steps, and her body was still stable, she said with a smile.
"Look at the sword!"
Geng Furong was suddenly shaken back by Cang Hao's strength, as if she was angry, and her anger rose, and there were a few fierce colors on her little face. He shouted, then swung his sword and slashed away.
"Is this your Liubi swordsmanship? It's chaotic, and one sword is no better than another. ”
Cang Hao said with a chuckle, with contempt in his tone.
"Listen, the swordsman should have a fierce wind, but the heart must always remain calm and calm. ”
"After a momentary defeat, we must not mess up our positions, we must maintain our mentality, play steadily, and ensure that we are undefeated in order to win. ”
After Cang Hao said this last sentence, he once again vigorously shook Geng Furong's sword back, and when Geng Furong was numb in the tiger's mouth, and was stunned for a while, Cang Hao took two steps forward violently, and gently pointed Geng Furong's left shoulder with the hilt of the sword.
And, at this time, Geng Furong was already floating under her feet, even if Cang Hao pushed slightly, Geng Furong took nearly ten steps back.
Geng Furong was panting and breathing heavily. At that moment, if it was someone else, a sword would have been able to take his life.
Geng Furong also knew that she was a little anxious just now. Too eager to attack, too eager to win, so the flaws are exposed.
Cang Hao was not in a hurry to chase after the victory, and once he succeeded, Cang Hao fell back to the same place and looked at Geng Furong quietly.
After some fighting just now, Cang Hao
Basically, I have a rough judgment of Geng Furong's strength, Geng Furong's internal strength cultivation is not low, it can be said that it is extremely deep and majestic, and that strength is obviously not proportional to her age at all.
But in addition to the deep internal force, when Geng Furong swings the sword, she can still see a little rusty, obviously a novice practicing swords, and the use of swordsmanship is not very flexible, "step by step" is the most obvious trace of beginners.
In addition to the external and internal strength, swordsmanship, and swordsmanship, Geng Furong is still extremely lacking in heat, he didn't say anything, and Geng Furong herself couldn't stay calm.
If in the battle, the enemy's words are full of provocation or humiliation, once the mentality is unstable or the mentality collapses, it is very likely to reveal a fatal flaw, which is the opportunity that the enemy is looking for.
"Whew. ”
Geng Furong slowly adjusted her mentality, and then slowly moved forward, this time Geng Furong didn't say anything, just stared at Cang Hao tightly, and blatantly took out her sword.
"There is growth. ”
Cang Hao sighed, and then fought with Geng Furong again, and after that, Cang Hao wanted to draw his sword several times, but he couldn't help it.
......
"Senior brother. ”
As soon as Li Chengjie walked out of Yunxian Courtyard, Mu Youzhi walked out of the path on the side and grabbed Li Chengjie's arm.
"Youzhi, why did you come here. ”
After Li Chengjie saw Mu Youzhi, he said with a smile. And his smile was slightly stiff, as if to hide some embarrassment.
"There's a lot going on today. The master not only told him that the number of massages should be increased gradually, but in the end, he had to press the terrible news of ninety-nine times. Geng Furong likes herself, which makes Li Chengjie a little strange when he sees Mu Youzhi. ”
Li Chengjie sneered, looked at Mu Youzhi's bright eyes, and fell again in an instant. Li Chengjie lowered his head and wanted to kiss Mu Youzhi's forehead, but was avoided by Mu Youzhi's flash.
"Senior brother, why don't you teach me how to practice swords. ”
Just when Li Chengjie was puzzled, Mu Youzhi's little hand had already screwed the flesh on Li Chengjie's waist. While screwing Li Chengjie fiercely, Mu Youzhi gave Li Chengjie a reasonable explanation in a deep voice.
"Shhh ”
Li Chengjie gasped, looked at Mu Youzhi's eyes, and suddenly dodged a little.
"Women are jealous, and the ancients did not deceive me. ”
Li Chengjie snorted, and then thought that when he took Geng Furong to practice swords just now, there was very little physical contact, and he didn't know that Mu Youzhi had such a big jealousy from there.
"Youzhi, do you want to learn? If you want, of course I can teach you, senior brother. ”
Li Chengjie looked at Mu Youzhi's somewhat serious application, and he also said seriously.
"Learn from you big-headed ghost!"
"Stupid you're going to forget it!"
Mu Youzhi kicked Li Chengjie fiercely, and then turned around and was about to leave.
"By the way, the master has something to do with you and asked you to come over. ”
Mu Youzhi took three steps, suddenly thought of the business she was here for, and looked back and said.
"Poof. ”
When Mu Youzhi looked back, he happened to see Li Chengjie who was stunned in place, looking at a loss, Mu Youzhi saw it, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Senior brother, you're such a nerd. ”
"Let's go, let's go over together. ”
Seeing this, Mu Youzhi walked back with a smile, put Li Chengjie's arm back and said with a smile.
"So, do you want to learn or not?"
Li Chengjie thought for a long time along the way, and the first thing he said after opening his mouth was to ask an extremely stupid question.
"Alas......"
Mu Youzhi glanced at Li Chengjie one last time, sighed leisurely, and did not answer Li Chengjie's question.
"Master, let's come in. ”
At this time, Mu Youzhi had already taken Li Chengjie to the Light Heart Courtyard.
"Come in. ”
When Li Qingqing heard this, she replied softly.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Li Chengjie walked in front of Li Qingqing, bowed and said.
"Well, actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask you, did the master tell you before he left that he was going to go there for retreat and cultivation?"
Li Qingqing asked with a little worry.
"The master is going to a very mysterious place, but the master doesn't have to worry, that place can definitely guarantee the safety of the master. ”
When Li Chengjie heard this, he replied in a deep voice. The master is not there, he is the backbone of this house.
"Did the old man ever say when he would return it?"
Li Qingqing nodded when she heard this, and then continued to ask.
"It can be as short as a few days, as long as a few months. I believe that the master will definitely rush back as soon as possible, and will not let the master worry for too long. ”
It's really hard to say when Yuan Zixin will come back, but at this time, Li Chengjie said this, and he also wanted everyone to feel at ease. And Li Chengjie believes in his master very much, and he will definitely use the fastest speed to find a solution to the problem.
"Okay, okay, so be it. ”
Li Qingqing sighed, as if she had known that the result would be like this, and what others said was all words of comfort.
In the hurry of leaving, he left a letter to Li Qingqing, which was simple and easy, but in Li Qingqing's heart, the way of saying goodbye to Li Qingqing was extremely heavy.
If it is really as stated in the new letter, why not explain it in person, but hand over all the "aftermath" in the letter.
"Youzhi, you can accompany the master these days, and I'll give you another course of treatment later. Now I need to make a trip to the palace. ”
Li Chengjie bowed and said, then turned around and left, walking towards the palace.
......
"Your Majesty, St. Ann. ”
After Li Chengjie came to the palace, he directly entered the imperial study and met His Majesty.
"Li Aiqing, let's be flat. What is it that you want to start today?"
Immortal Daocheng is rare to be idle today, the competition for immortals is imminent, and the things above the court have become fewer.
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Dynasty is imminent, and Weichen wants to implement a new policy, and I hope Your Majesty agrees. ”
Li Chengjie went straight to the point, bowed down and said.
"The New Deal?"
When Xian Daocheng heard this, he muttered, but he was quite curious.
"The rectification of your Dali Temple has not been implemented, and you want to implement a new policy?"
Immortal Daocheng asked rhetorically.
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
When Li Chengjie heard His Majesty's question, he naturally wanted to answer truthfully.
"Well, let's talk about it, what kind of bold and wonderful ideas are worth borrowing from the name of the Immortal Dynasty. ”
When Xian Daocheng heard this, he thought about what Li Chengjie said just now, and he knew that this must be an extremely "bold advice"!
"Your Majesty, the minister said it directly. The Immortal Dynasty will open, and the country should have a new atmosphere. Men can practice martial arts and cultivate immortals, and women can also practice martial arts. Then why is it that only men in my Immortal Dynasty can go to school, but women can't?"
Li Chengjie said in a deep voice, his tone sonorous and powerful.
Immortal Daocheng was shocked when he heard this.
"Li Qing, are you saying that I want to allow women to enter the hall to learn knowledge as well as men?"
Immortal Daocheng frowned and asked. Li Chengjie raised this question, but Xian Daocheng has never thought about it.
"It is not appropriate for a man to teach a woman to compose songs and poems and to practice vulgar music."
"Women, why can't they go to school, if they are talented enough, virtuous and outstanding, the minister also thinks that they can also enter the academy and use knowledge to change their destiny. ”
Li Chengjie thought about it, and seeing that His Majesty's face was quite calm, Li Chengjie said very boldly.
"What !!"
When Immortal Daocheng heard this, he slapped the table violently, and the dragon's eyes were furious.
"Li Qing, letting a girl go to school is already risking the world's disapproval. You still want to abolish the ancestral system and recruit women to the palace as officials? Li Qing, aren't you bewitched by the beauty of a woman, and you are talking nonsense here!"
Immortal Daocheng snorted coldly, and was laughed at by Li Chengjie.
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that this 'new deal' of the minister is indeed a little arrogant, but Your Majesty must be different from those 'laymen', Your Majesty is far-sighted, and has his own fortune in his chest. The minister just wants to ask His Majesty, if one day, the woman succeeds in ascending to the immortal, what will happen to my immortal dynasty?"
Li Chengjie first slapped Xian Daocheng hard, and then loudly, and asked Xian Daocheng a soul question in a deep voice.
"Woman ascending to the immortal?"
When Xian Daocheng heard about Li Chengjie's question, he suddenly became a little speechless.
"Impossible, the woman's body is delicate, how can she become an immortal?" Li Qing said with a smile. ”
Immortal Daocheng laughed, shook his head and said.
"I don't know, Your Majesty, do you know that not all the applicants who participated in the Immortal Contest this time were men. ”
When Li Chengjie heard this, he asked rhetorically.
"The registration form for the Immortal Competition has always been confidential, how did Li Qing know that there were women who signed up, and how were she so sure?"
Hearing this, Xian Daocheng frowned lightly, looking at Li Chengjie with a bit of scrutiny.
"Returning to Your Majesty, because the female disciple of the minister signed up for this immortal competition. ”
Li Chengjie naturally reported this matter to Xian Daocheng. You must know that the current Geng Furong is a quasi-princess in His Majesty's heart, and she wants to take the risk to participate in the Immortal Competition, and Li Chengjie has the obligation to pass it.
"What are you talking about? Geng Furong is going to participate in the Immortal Competition?"
"How did Geng Zhi discipline his own daughter!"
"I have always heard that the three daughters of the Geng family are gentle and virtuous, and the third daughter who belongs to him is the most loved. It's just that my health has not been very good before, but recently I have been healed by God, and my condition has improved, so I agreed to the prince's marriage. ”
Immortal Daocheng said angrily, like Li Chengjie and Geng Zhi, when he first heard that Geng Furong was going to participate in the Immortal Competition, he felt that Geng Furong was simply messing around.
"Your Majesty is angry. ”
"Your Majesty would like to listen to the minister?"
Seeing this, Li Chengjie bowed down and bowed.
"Say, let me hear what Li Qing has to say!"
Immortal Daocheng snorted coldly and scolded.
The minister thought, you might as well give it a try with Geng Furong, a disciple of the minister, to see if there is a really talented person among the women. The minister knew in his heart that even if His Majesty approved the 'new policy' that the minister wanted to implement, there would still be many difficulties and obstacles. ”
"Therefore ......"
Li Chengjie was saying slowly.
"So, you want to make a bet with me?"
Immortal Daocheng sneered, and then continued Li Chengjie's words.
Li Qing thought that if his female disciple could finally be ranked on the list of seeking immortals, it would be able to prove that women actually had great potential, so I wanted to open a school for women all over the world because of this. If Li Qing's female disciple ascends to the immortal, do I still want to abolish the ancestral system and recruit talented women into the Shi Dengke?"
There was no joy or anger in Immortal Daocheng's voice, but that unique sense of majesty gave people an irresistible feeling.
"Minister, I just thought that the Immortal Dynasty was about to open, and there should be a new atmosphere. His Majesty allowed the minister to open the Dali Temple among the people, which is for the sake of all the people in the world, but why should women be excluded. Men and women are His Majesty's people. ”
"Let me ask, if Your Majesty has a princess, would you like to send the princess to study in a holy place like the Hanlin Academy?"
After Li Chengjie finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the immortal Daocheng. He knew that it was a bit arrogant for him to say this, but only by saying this could he make Immortal Daocheng have that feeling of empathy.
"Hmph, good!"
Immortal Daocheng first snorted coldly, and responded in a deep voice.
"Li Qing, you do have the talent of the champion. Li Qing is really the pillar of my Immortal Dynasty!"
Then he laughed and exclaimed.
"Minister, I dare not be ashamed!"
When Li Chengjie heard this, Li Chengjie also didn't understand His Majesty's current words. So he had no choice but to reply.
"Li Qing, I will bet with you. ”
"Let's look at Li Qing's female disciples, how much can they learn from Li Qing. ”
Immortal Dao got up suddenly, walked down slowly, walked in front of Li Chengjie, and after helping Li Chengjie up, he said in a very heavy tone.
"Your Majesty, the minister is just admonishing, but he doesn't dare to gamble with the saint. ”
Li Chengjie pretended to be frightened and said.
"Heh, don't you dare? You have a bit of guts, but you can't hide it. ”
Immortal Daocheng said with a smile, but Li Chengjie looked at the corner of Xian Daocheng's eyes and caught a few hints of coldness.
"Since Your Majesty said so, the minister has the courage to ask His Majesty for a few jars of palace jade liquid, and tonight the minister is feasting in the house, and everyone is salivating over the palace jade liquid. ”
When Li Chengjie heard this, he smiled slyly, and then said with a wink.
"Hahaha!"
When Immortal Daocheng heard this, he laughed three times.
"Good, good, good. Li Qing has worked hard recently, don't say a few jars of imperial wine, that is, I have emptied my wine storehouse, and I will also be rewarded. ”
Immortal Daocheng said loudly.
"Meng Lang, you personally take Dali Siqing to my wine storehouse, let Li Qing choose, take as much as you can, no one can stop you, and you can't help. ”
Immortal Daocheng commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes. ”
Meng Lang walked to Li Chengjie's side and replied in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and the minister will retire. ”
Seeing this, Li Chengjie bowed down and retired.
"Mr. Meng, I'm tired. ”
After Li Chengjie exited the imperial study, he said to Meng Lang on the side.
"Lord Li is polite. ”
Meng Lang whispered, and then walked towards the wine cellar in the palace with Li Chengjie.
Li Chengjie followed Meng Lang all the way to the secret wine cellar in the palace, smelling the intoxicating aroma of wine, Li Chengjie really took a lot. Each hand carried two large jars of imperial wine, and then the other five fingers were hung with a few small jars of wine, a total of twelve jars of imperial wine, and it was taken away by Li Chengjie alone.
