Chapter 9: Qi Tai

This night, the Huang Mansion was also brightly lit, Huang Gui's injuries had greatly improved, except for a few internal injuries that had not completely healed, and the external injuries were no longer serious, and he was practicing martial arts in the backyard at this time. A pair of judges' pens are extremely flexible, and between the movement of their bodies, they also show their skills, but there are still some internal injuries, and they don't dare to force their skills too much.

Huang Zicheng stood on the courtyard wall, and when he saw Huang Gui performing martial arts, he couldn't help but smile and nodded. After Huang Gui's set of fights, Zicheng stroked his palms and came out: "Gui'er, presumably the injury is no longer serious." ”

Huang Gui retracted his strength, wiped away his sweat, and his face seemed to be very calm, "Father, my son's external injuries are safe, and the recovery from internal injuries is sixty or seventy percent, thanks to Xi Zhen's forced retreat that day Daoyan and me to heal his injuries, otherwise, I am afraid that the child will no longer be able to serve your old man today." ”

"Since there are still internal injuries that have not yet healed, why don't you take more rest and recuperate? I remember that your master once said that if you forcibly practice the martial arts, it is easy to go mad. Huang Zicheng was worried about his son's body, and he was still a little anxious.

"It's no big deal," Huang Gui said affirmatively, "Did my father visit Xi Zhen again later?"

"Yes, young knight, it's a pity that the ambition is not in the imperial court, and the ambition is to be a happy Jianghu person. Huang Zicheng said: "Otherwise, he will definitely be able to become our good helper." ”

Huang Gui thoughtfully: "Yes, at a young age, with good kung fu, it may be difficult to find an opponent on the rivers and lakes." ”

As he spoke, a loud laugh suddenly came, "Brother Zicheng, is you so Yaxing, do you want to abandon Wen Congwu?"

The two of them looked for prestige, and an old man was walking quickly, this person was burly, energetic, walking with two sleeves in the wind, slightly gray beard was very neat, Chinese face, between the eyebrows, righteous and high-spirited.

"Brother Shangli is visiting, the cold house is shining, but it has not been greeted from afar, Brother Shangli should not be blamed" Huang Zicheng saw this person, he also smiled, and hurriedly greeted him, and reprimanded the child: "Lord Qi is visiting, why don't you report it?" Huang Gui also bowed: "Uncle Qi, I haven't seen you for many days, but my spirit is still the same." ”

This person seems to be Qi Tai, this Qi Tai, the word is still polite, upright, known as the style of the elderly, and Huang Zicheng is good, so the two families have dealings with each other.

"Haha" Qi Tai laughed: "My eldest nephew is not only good at martial arts, but also more and more powerful in this verbal kung fu, haha." ”

"Brother Shangli, let's drink tea in the hall" Huang Zicheng looked at Huang Gui again: "Go and rest, I have something to talk about with your Uncle Qi." ”

The two went to the hall, sat down and sat down, and after the maid finished making tea, Huang Zicheng instructed not to disturb. Then he smiled and said: "Congratulations to Brother Shangli for moving to the military department, my Ming court has another pillar." ”

Qi Tai said with a smile: "Brother Zicheng, this is a joke to see me, I feel a great responsibility, I heard that you and Your Highness were hunted down and killed outside the city a few days ago, do you know the background of the other party?"

Huang Zicheng's face suddenly became solemn: "Yes, it is a monk named Daoyan and a few monks from the Western Regions, if it weren't for a young man to save him, my father and son would probably have gathered in the Senluo Hall with His Royal Highness." ”

Qi Tai also knew the seriousness of the matter, and he stopped laughing, and asked, "Who is that young man?"

"It's just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes" Huang Zicheng sighed: "Later, I visited this person with His Royal Highness, although this person has righteousness, but his mind does not seem to be in the court and fame, otherwise, wouldn't His Highness have another helper? ”

Qi Tai took a sip of tea: "I don't think so, I don't know the face of the person, I don't know the heart, I think it's very inappropriate for you to visit again, and it's too aggressive, and I don't know the truth of the person, you should be cautious in the future, Your Highness's safety is a state affair." ”

Huang Zicheng's face also showed shame: "What Brother Shangli said is that my brother is indeed reckless, but fortunately, nothing happened. However, does Brother Shang Li know about the recent events?"

"What?"

"Recently, His Royal Highness has spoken to me, and I have received many twists and turns, all of which have said that Zhou, Qi, Xiang, and Dai have reported illegal acts, and the emperor is asking His Highness about this. Huang Zicheng lowered his voice.

"I've heard of it too, especially King Zhou, but can there be a twist and turn in Beiping?" Qi Tai seemed to be particularly concerned about Beiping.

"I haven't heard His Highness talk about it, Brother Shangli seems to be very jealous of King Yan. ”

"His Highness has always been benevolent and generous, how can he be as kind as his uncles, all of whom are like wolves and tigers?" Qi Tai sighed again: "In the future, even if His Highness obtains an artifact, I am afraid that it will be difficult for his uncles to sleep!

Huang Zicheng lowered his voice again: "I have a little more eyebrows, and I have also found some breakthroughs, many direct and indirect evidences all point to Laikezhuang, but whose vassal this Laikezhuang is, it is not yet known, I want to exterminate it, and I am afraid that I will startle the snake." ”

"I always have a sense of ominousness, Brother Zicheng, do you still remember what King Yan said two years ago, when King Yan Po Naier's flowers were not spent? King Yan is powerful and has great martial arts, and among the many vassal kings, no one can stand out. Qi Tai took another sip of tea: "I'm afraid it will be a big disaster in the future." ”

"It's like a thorn in the back," Huang Zicheng thought about it and gasped, "Now that I think about it, my back is cold, and Yan has wings, even more so than Zhou and Dai." ”

"Yes, now that the emperor is no longer young, and His Royal Highness is immature, this Ming Dynasty looks peaceful, I am afraid that there is an undercurrent, you and I are like a leopard in the tube. Qi Tai hurriedly asked.

"Brother Shangli, you and I have been in the emperor's favor for a long time, and this is the time for you and me to repay the favor, and we should recruit good talents for Your Highness, so that Your Highness can have no worries and be a courtier, which is the right way. ”

"What Brother Zicheng said is very true. ”

Here Qi Taizheng is drinking tea with Huang Zicheng, and when it comes to Xi Zhen, since returning to the inn, his brows are tightly locked, and he seems to be thinking: Who is this Daoyan, and what is the origin of the guest village?

When I thought of Guan Qing, I couldn't help but take out the handkerchief again, Su Jin square inch, a pair of mandarin ducks were cross-headed, as if telling the pain of lovesickness, and as if I regretted goodbye, I couldn't bear to leave. Thinking of this, my heart can't help but ripple, one is the prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, and the other is everyone's ladies. "Is she thinking about me at this time?" he muttered to himself, looking at the handkerchief.

"Hmph, don't you know that Gentle Township is a hero's mound? A dignified man, you should be determined in all directions, can you forget the master's entrustment for a woman, and forget where you should go?" An angry scolding came from outside the window, pulling Xi Zhen back to reality in an instant.

"What kind of person" Xi Zhen shouted in a deep voice, then got up, kicked his feet, and his figure jumped out of the window like an arrow from the string. I saw a person about two feet away wearing a night robe, with his back to him, his body was slender and slender, his hands were behind his back, and his head was slightly raised, as if he was looking at the stars in the night sky.

"Who is Your Excellency? What do you have to teach here? The eldest husband acts above board, why do you hide your head and show your tail, why don't you show up and see it?" Xi Zhen asked three times in a row. Who knew that the person who came did not answer his words, but just snorted lightly, and then raised his right hand, and there was an extra sword in his hand, which glowed with a cold light under the light of the moon. Xi Zhen didn't dare to be careless, knowing that this person was not good, his eyes instantly became solemn: his left hand turned into a palm in front of his chest, and his right hand slowly fanned his fingers.

The person who came quickly turned around, his face was covered with a black veil, only his eyes were exposed, shining with fine light, his sword shook with one finger, and he picked up several sword flowers and attacked at the same time, and said in a deep voice: "Today, let me teach you the mastery of the Wudang Sect." ”

Xi Zhen was shocked, he knew that this person's skill was not weak, but anyone who practiced swords knew that the skill of the person who made the sword could be judged by the number of sword flowers he had raised, and he could instantly pick up several sword flowers, which was already better than himself. Xi Zhen didn't dare to be careless, his body retreated a few steps, the iron fan was erected, and he wanted to open the attacking sword, but he didn't know that the person who came saw it was a false move, and the move was not yet used, and then the sword edge was deflected, and he stabbed at the wrist of the fan. Xi Zhen jumped, jumped up, and dodged the sword. As the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, one inch short and one inch dangerous, the sword is long and the fan is short, and the long-range attack will definitely not be cheap, only to dodge the sword move first, and wait to see the flaw, then the iron fan can point to the point, and can be protected.

The person who came seemed to have seen this a long time ago, so immediately after the attack, he immediately avoided Xi Zhen with his sword, and Xi Zhen was always close to him. Just like this, the two of them have gone through more than 20 moves in attack and defense in a short time. But Xi Zhen suddenly found that the person who came didn't seem to be in a hurry to hurt himself, or he didn't intend to hurt himself, because the sword move of the person who came, every time he attacked, when he came to his side, his strength would weaken.

Xi Zhen had already made up his mind at that time, and immediately turned on the offensive, slashing and slashing with an iron fan, and suddenly attacked a few moves, which actually made the people a little hurried, and for a while the attack and defense were changed. But the person who came was not an ordinary man, he immediately distanced himself, and with a move of immortal guidance, he forced Xi Zhen back again, and then jumped out of the door. Seeing this, Xi Zhen immediately reined in his spirit, and then jumped and chased the general out.
