Chapter 1, Section 3 Dragon Tengyuan, Tiger Out of the Forest
"The child's master has been destroyed, the master's life and death are unknown, and the child still has a family revenge that has not been avenged, how can he live here safely?"
"But your skills haven't recovered ......"
Xiao Fei groaned slightly, and said slowly: "This is not a problem, when the child left the cold, the teacher once said to the child, 'Smell the four tigers out of the rivers and lakes'." Now the weather is getting cooler, and the child still has a certain ability to defend himself, even if he is not someone else's opponent, but I want to escape, looking at the world, there are really few people who can stop it!"
Xiao Fei's words were indeed heroic, and Xiao Wanlin nodded slightly when he heard it.
"Besides, the 'Huitian Pill' in my body has almost reached maturity. Xiao Fei continued.
"Fei'er, since you have made up your mind to go, your father will not stop you, but are you willing to stay for your father for a longer time?"
"What does my father command?" Xiao Fei asked.
"Even if your skills have not recovered, my father believes that with your wisdom, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can solve them. Fear for the Father...... Ruteng ......"
Xiao Fei was taken aback, "Second brother?"
"Well," Xiao Wanlin nodded, "Teng'er has always been obedient, unruly, and reckless, and he doesn't listen to anyone who says anything about you at home." Neither your father nor your mother can discipline him, and if you hadn't left him some swordsmanship before going out every time, so that he could practice it in peace, he might have caused some trouble for me. Now that you are leaving, if he stays at home, he will be even more unscrupulous and cause trouble all day long: if he goes out with you, with only his fists and legs, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat on the rivers and lakes, and you have not recovered your skills, and there is still a great revenge that has not been avenged, so you can't blindly protect him. So ......"
"Looks like my father has a way?"
"At present, it seems that there are only two ways to do it: first, you persuade him to let him practice martial arts at home, and second, let him improve his martial arts in the short term, at least have the ability to protect himself, and then let him go out with you. ”
Xiao Fei thought about these two methods carefully for a while, and said: "With all due respect, the child thinks that these two methods are not good methods. ”
Xiao Wanlin didn't speak, just frowned slightly, waiting for Xiao Fei's next words.
"First, persuade the second brother, that is absolutely impossible, even if he is temporarily persuaded down, after ten days and a half months, he will definitely relapse of the old sex; second, it is not impossible to improve his skills in the short term, either by using secret skills such as 'searching for souls against blood', or with the help of medicine, but the former consumes energy and internal organs, and the latter also has serious side effects. ”
"Alas, that's what I'm saying, are we really going to have no choice about that bastard boy?" Xiao Wanlin said with a wry smile.
"The boy came up with a plan: we can tell the second brother that he will travel with me in three months, and he will definitely practice martial arts in these three months. Three months later, the two of us went out together, and then the child had his own way to let him go home obediently and practice martial arts seriously. Xiao Fei smiled mysteriously at Xiao Wanlin.
Xiao Wanlin nodded helplessly: "That's all." ”
So, from the next day, the Xiao family began to prepare for the departure of the two sons.
In fact, it is not only the Xiao brothers who are preparing to travel far away, thousands of miles away in the palace, a young man in gorgeous clothes with a magnificent instrument is holding his chin in his left hand and thinking hard in front of the desk, looking out of the window with his eyes lost.
"Someone!" called the young man, abruptly rising.
"Your Highness!" a yin voice sounded, and with this voice, a eunuch stepped forward.
"Cheng Si, immediately pass on Young Master Leng, this palace wants to see him!"
"Yes...... Your Highness," Cheng Si squeaked, "It's time now, it's better to ...... tomorrow"
"No! Go and call it immediately! This palace has something important to discuss with him!"
"Yes!" Cheng Si agreed, bowing and retreating.
His Highness paced anxiously back and forth in the room.
"Your Highness, the crown prince and young master Leng Qiuhe ask to see you!" came the voice of Cheng Si from outside the door.
"Biography!" the prince sat down in front of the case in high spirits.
"Weichen Leng Qiuhe, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" the young official in a python suit fell to the ground.
"The young master is flat. ”
"Your Highness!"
"Four, give a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" Leng Qiuhe said, sitting at the head of a row of chairs on the left side of the center of the hall. After sitting down, he raised his head slightly, saw the prince's worried face, and asked, "I don't know what is important for His Highness to summon Wei Chen late at night?"
"That's right," the prince stepped off the desk and made the chair closest to Leng Qiuhe, "This palace wants to go out on patrol." ”
"Huh?" Leng Qiuhe was obviously surprised, and said later, "This matter is very important, His Highness is the prince of the country, he must not make mistakes, I hope His Highness will think twice." ”
"Hongu has been 'thinking twice' for several days. It has been decided that this is the case, and Wangqiuhe does not need to be dissuaded. ”
"Can Wechen know why?"
"It doesn't hurt to tell Qiuhe," the prince muttered, "that today, the ministers are in charge, and outside, the kings are in chaos, and the border passes are full of wars. Recently, the palace heard that there were powerful people in the DPRK and China colluding with foreign vassals, but looking at the government and the opposition, there are very few people who can be trusted by the emperor, and only the palace can go out to seek evidence of the rebellion of the thief party. ”
"So...... I don't know what Your Highness wants?"
"Gangnam. ”
"Since His Highness has made up his mind, then Weichen ......"
"Shaomin, this palace wants you to assist this palace to persuade his father and emperor to let him agree to this palace's plan. ”
"This ......" Leng Qiuhe was obviously very embarrassed.
"As far as this palace knows," the prince said with a smile when he saw Leng Qiuhe was silent, "Shaomin has stayed in Jiangnan for two years. This Jiangnan is beautiful, abundant, and loved by everyone......"
"Okay, Weichen obeys!" Leng Qiuhe interrupted the prince's provocative words.
"It's so refreshing," the prince smiled, "but I don't know how sure Shaomin is?"
"Ten percent!" Leng Qiuhe replied confidently, "However, tomorrow is the day when the emperor appoints the martial champions, and our trip must be proposed in two or three days." ”
"Huh, us?"
"Yes, we, don't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to bring Wei Chen?" Leng Qiuhe asked with a smile.
"Hongu didn't say he was going to take you there. And you, you have agreed to the request of this palace. Besides, in case of an accident, the palace is confident that it can protect itself, you are a scholar, and there are not too many guards, the palace will not be able to protect you at that time. ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, since Weichen can persuade the emperor to let you go, he can naturally persuade the emperor to let me accompany you. ”
"Oh, really?"
"Don't believe me, we'll see. Leng Qiuhe said with a smile.
This Leng Qiuhe (the word Shaomin) is the new champion of science and literature hand-picked by the emperor's imperial pen. The current official worships the prince and young master of the three products. Because he is the same age as the prince, and he is full of wealth, he is funny and talkative, and he is deeply loved by the prince, and the two have a close personal relationship.
On the second day, the forbidden military academy was the venue for the martial arts examination. Zheng Yuan, the secretary of the Officers and Soldiers Department of the chief examination, Yang Keyu, the deputy examination manager, Jiang Zheng, the Taibao, Zhu Jianshen, the crown prince, and Yao Boru, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the prince and the prince, were all present. Originally, he couldn't go to the school as Leng Qiuhe Sanpin, but at the prince's repeated insistence, he stood behind the prince, and the five martial artists in the audience were ready.
"The emperor has arrived!" came from the inner supervisor.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Wait for the peace. ”
"Long live thanks!"
Emperor Yingzong sat down with a smile and said, "Zheng Qing, let's start." ”
"The emperor has an order: the competition has officially begun. Next, the examiner announces the rules of the competition: the five lifters draw lots to determine the two groups of duels, and the remaining one person will face off again with the losers of the other two groups, and the winner will enter the next round of the competition with the winners of the other two groups, which is 'Sanyuan'. In the second round, the first draw lots to determine the two lifts to fight, the winner and the third party to determine the winner and the previous winner to the winner is the martial champion, the loser is the leader, and the remaining one is Tanhua. ”
Five lifters: Zhu Rongbei, Tie Yingjie, Li Zhengxiong, Chi Wenxing, Shen Wanchen drew lots in turn, Tie Yingjie and Chi Wenxing were green signs, Zhu Rongbei and Li Zhengxiong were red signs, and Shen Wanchen was black signs.
The results of the preliminary matchup: Zhu Rongbei defeated Li Zhengxiong, Chi Wenxing narrowly defeated Tie Yingjie, and Tie Yingjie defeated Li Zhengxiong and Shen Wanchen again. Zhu Rongbei, Chi Wenxing, and Tie Yingjie are all three yuan.
The battle for the three-yuan champion. At the beginning, Zhu Rongbei Guan knife against Tie Yingjie spear, the two sides fought thirty times, and finally Tie Yingjie won with one shot; later, Chi Wenxing spear battle Zhu Rong Beiguan knife, Chi Wenxing won Zhu Rongbei in the twenty-eighth round.
In the end, Chi Wenxing and Tie Yingjie competed for the champion, both of them used spears as blades, you stabbed me to block you back and forth, and I went back and forth for thirty or forty times and still did not score, the battle was very exciting, and the emperor and the adults in the stands couldn't help but applaud continuously.
Yao Boru, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the crown prince, stepped forward and said: "Long live Bing, Weichen thinks that Chi and Tie should immediately stop the game and change to a horse battle, because the generals on both sides on the battlefield are fighting on horses, and only on horses can the strength of a military general be shown." ”
Yingzong nodded slightly: "What do you think?"
"It's all up to the emperor's holy judgment!"
"Okay! get on the war horse!" Emperor Yingzong waved his hand.
The chief examiner, Zheng Yuan, immediately announced: "The competition is temporarily suspended. ”
Chi Wenxing and Tie Yingjie in the field put away their guns and stood in time, and at this time, the guards outside the field led two war horses, and the two turned over and got on the horses.
Zheng Yuan saw that the two of them were ready, and immediately shouted: "Begin!"
The dark horse Tie Yingjie took the lead in stabbing Chi Wenxing with a gun, Chi Wenxing transferred the horse to block the gun, and stabbed the left eye of the black horse, Tie Yingjie hurriedly returned the gun to save the horse, drove the horse to the left, Chi Wenxing chased the horse, and Tie Yingjie turned around and struck back the horse pistol, Chi Wenxing turned over and dismounted, shrunk his body, passed under the horse's belly, got on the horse again, and fought Tie Yingjie with a gun.
Everyone on the stage saw Chi Wenxing's skillful equestrian skills, and not only high-fived. Seeing that the two of them had fought for more than 120 years, and still had no victory, Taishi Yang Keyu said: "Your Majesty, these two have been fighting for nearly half an hour, and their physical exertion is very dramatic. ”
Without waiting for the emperor to react, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen said: "Father, the son thinks that this matter must not be done!"
