Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Confucian Family in Dongshan
Dongshan Confucius family, one of the top families in Daqin except for the grandmaster family, excluding the grandmaster, the overall strength should be the top three families in Daqin, although the family has not produced a grandmaster-level powerhouse since the Confucian sage, but there are countless middle grades, especially the six-grade martial arts powerhouses, and in addition to their own families, there are countless disciples left by Confucius back then The traditional sect support, and the Confucian forces ranked at least the top five in the sect are intertwined, it is difficult to distinguish between you and me, except for the official Daqin, the overall power should be ranked in the top ten.
Emperor Qin took people to live directly in the Confucian family in Dongshan, and the contemporary head of the Confucian family was very excited to vacate the courtyard where the legend of Confucius lived in that year to entertain the Qin Emperor. Lin Ze and the others occupied the entire East Wing Courtyard, and the subordinates of the Confucian Mansion were waiting.
Lin Ze walked into the Confucian Mansion, walked around casually, and found that the Confucian Mansion did not occupy a vast area like the Chang'an Wealthy Family, probably out of caution, the Tiangao Emperor was far more cautious, the Qin Emperor suppressed the world so fiercely, causing suspicion but the result of the death of the clan, so the internal layout is more exquisite, some of the seedlings in the courtyard are not directly planted on the ground, and they appear in the form of flower pots.
Not long after Lin Ze and the others settled down, a head of the Kong family brought the younger generation of the Kong family to visit the prince of Daqin.
Lin Ze was amused when he saw it, they were all a group of five to ten years old, a total of ten, four men and six women, the kind that had just formed martial arts, not to mention the boys, but the six girls who came were carefully dressed, Lin Ze guessed the intention of the Kong family with a casual thought, and almost laughed out loud.
Soon Lin Ze's guess was confirmed, after a simple salute, the boy vaguely blocked Lin Ze and them, and a group of beautiful girls dressed as mandarin ducks and swallows surrounded Hu Hai, one of them said: "The peacock has seen Hu Hai Gongzi, Gongzi is said to be the most prosperous place in Chang'an City, can Gongzi take the peacock to play in the future." Lin Ze rolled his eyes, you directly said that it would be better if you wanted to enter Xianyang Palace, Chang'an needs Hu Hai to take it, Xianyang Palace is almost the same.
Another looked at Hu Hai with stars in his eyes: "The son looks so heroic and extraordinary, it must be a success in martial arts, Kong Juan also likes martial arts very much, it is better to have time to guide some little sisters." Lin Ze wanted to be dirty all of a sudden, he was good-looking, and he was still learning martial arts, hehe, does the little kid understand that?
Another girl said: "Childe came from Chang'an, but he was tired from running all the way, Kong Shu rubbed it for Childe." After speaking, he touched Hu Hai with both hands, making Hu Hai at a loss. Lin Ze puffed out and spit out the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, how did he feel that Hu Hai was visiting the kiln.
The boy of the Kong family looked at Lin Ze with a not very good face, and one of the slightly older ones saluted Lin Ze and said, "Hello this brother, in the Kong family of Kong, how to call the brother." ”
Lin Ze coughed and was choked, the famous "Kong Ming", no, Zhuge Liang's surname is Zhuge Liang, hurry up and return the salute first: "In Xia Lin Ze, I have seen all the heroes of the Kong family." ”
Kong Ming continued: "My brother Guan Lin is also a person who cultivates martial arts, so it is better for everyone to go to the courtyard to have a discussion. The meaning between the words is, let's go with my brother, don't be a light bulb here. Lin Ze happily agreed, nodded and was heading.
When Hu Hai saw it, he immediately jumped over and said excitedly: "Do you want to learn martial arts? After saying this, the six girls immediately looked at Kong Ming with murderous eyes, you can't quietly take people away, Kong Ming, who saw it, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said with a forced smile: "Master Hu Hai should rest more here, and take Brother Lin out to learn and come back." ”
Hu Hai was furious when he heard this: "Do you look down on me, don't you look worse than Lin Ze in martial arts?"
As soon as this remark came out, the women became even more popular, and they accused Kong Ming of not being able to speak, Kong Ming's cold sweat suddenly became more, and Ai Ai didn't dare to reply. Or another disciple of the Confucian family couldn't see it and solve the siege: "Why don't we go to the martial arts arena together, let's play with Brother Lin, and Gongzi will guide the peacock in their martial arts." ”
Hu Hai was even more angry and shouted: "Sure enough, you look down on me, you think that my martial arts are only worthy of discussion with women, right, I want to fight with you to see who is more powerful." Lin Ze was originally smiling and watching with interest, but when he saw a Confucian steward coming in, his face immediately changed: "What a big boldness, you wait for the Kong family to look down on the son, you are fat." ”
The steward who came in was shocked, the juniors of the family dared to do things like this, and they would definitely clean them up when they turned around, but they squeezed in with a smiling face: "This little brother don't talk nonsense, how can our Kong family look down on the son, the child is going to be punished for saying nonsense." Looking at Lin Ze faintly, but between the words, he was threatening Lin Ze, seeing that he was a child, he felt that he was a bully, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was not the shabby child who usually came to fight the autumn wind.
Lin Ze didn't buy it, what is his identity, the dogleg of the Great Qin Gongzi, phew, the personal guard, will care about the threat of the steward of a family, and turned his head to Hu Hai and said: "Childe, people say that you talk nonsense, and they will punish you, we are now in someone's house, we can't stand this anger." ”
Speaking of this, Hu Hai was not angry, and called the guards and said coldly: "Tell my father, I want to move out to live, the dignified prince of Qin, I can't stand the anger under the eaves of people, my father wants to live here." The steward was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Hu Hai to make amends, how many dares did he dare to make Hu Hai angry, maybe the entire Kong family would collapse because of this incident, and let the son be angry, is the Kong family going to rebel?
Who is Lin Ze, has he seen less palace fights and drama fights? As soon as he saw the steward's eyes, he understood, and sneered in his heart: If you die by yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless. So he opened his mouth to persuade: "Don't be impulsive first, the Confucian Mansion doesn't look down on Childe, and let Childe be angry, and Childe is angry." The person who said this Confucius Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, and the steward was still proud, and a few words scared this kid, hmph, go back and teach him a lesson.
I only heard Lin Ze continue: "These young ladies are still extremely polite and hospitable to Childe. Hu Hai's face softened slightly when he heard this, probably thinking of the enthusiasm of those young ladies of the Kong family, and he still said to himself: "Didn't you just say that you would punish this son?
"Therefore, it is this steward who really looks down on the son, who is disrespectful to the son, and dares to call the son a child, except for His Majesty and the elders of the clan, how can anyone else be qualified, and he even said that he would punish the son, just ask, except for His Majesty, who is qualified to punish the son, all of this is caused by the steward," Lin Ze pointed directly at the steward and said, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard want to threaten me, just let you say goodbye if you change the concept.
When the steward heard this, he immediately weakened his legs with fright, and said, "I'm talking about you, not the son, don't talk nonsense." ”
Lin Ze said faintly: "However, it is Gongzi who says that he is looked down upon by the Confucian Mansion, not me." The rest of the Confucian Mansion remembered that it was just the children of Hu Hai Gongzi who were angry, and it was this steward who intervened sideways, so that they would not remember that they had said the wrong thing.
This is a person who is really in charge of the Confucian Mansion rushed over, and after asking what happened, he hurriedly apologized to Hu Hai and Lin Ze, and then glanced at the steward with disgust, and motioned for the two guards to drag him away, the steward still wanted to struggle and say something, the two guards were quite experienced, and they covered his mouth before he could speak, and dragged him away.
The director played a round game: "Since the son is interested, let's go to the martial arts arena to have fun together." Hu Hai saw that the steward was dragged away, and his face turned bright: "Let's go, go and see," and took Lin Ze and them to the martial arts arena together.
Probably there are distinguished guests, there are few additional people in the martial arts arena of Confucius Mansion today, only one and a half young men are practicing, Kong Ming saw that his face changed, and he pushed the young man in the past: "Kong Xuan, the distinguished guest has come to the door, why don't you stay in your room, why do you come out? This is where you should come as a concubine." ”
The young man was pushed, but his upper body moved, and he didn't even shake the lower plate, and walked away without saying a word. However, Hu Hai and Lin Ze looked at it a few more times in surprise, and Kong Ming was afraid that Hu Hai would be angry again, and explained: "It's the concubine of the family who has no rules, collided with the distinguished guest, and apologized to the son." Then he explained: "That Kong Xuan is a child of the side branch, his parents died, the old people in the clan saw him pitiful, so they took him in, but unfortunately the martial arts talent is too poor, and it took five years of cultivation to break through to the second grade of martial arts, and the old man who adopted him a few years ago passed away again, and he didn't leave, he mixed in the house, this time he was ignorant, so that the son smiled." ”
Before Lin Ze could speak, Xiao Jin secretly sneered: "People are obviously breaking through the limit, and the exercises are also extraordinary, and this kind of good seedling is not rare." ”
Lin Ze doesn't see it that way, maybe it's because of the concubine, it's normal for Taoguang to be obscure, and there are many talented people in the lineage, Kong Xuan's talent may not only not be able to be cultivated well, but he will disappear in this world for some reason, just look at Kong Ming's attitude, you can know how difficult Kong Xuan's situation is in the Confucian Mansion, and the poor martial arts talent is not this attitude.
Hu Hai didn't think much about it, and ran directly to the special martial arts platform and shouted: "Whoever wants to come up to learn, let the horse come over." ”
Everyone in the Kong family looked embarrassed, but they didn't want to compete with Hu Hai, they were afraid that Hu Hai would be angry and retaliate if they won, and they would lose face if they lost. It was one of the Kong family who wittily said: "I want to challenge this Lin brother." ”
However, Lin Ze was embarrassed: "When I came out, my father told me that I was not allowed to bully other children, and said that if I hurt others, I would confiscate a high-grade earth treasure prepared for me and use it for my future brothers and sisters, so this brother, you still challenge the son." ”
Hu Hai was stunned, you didn't beat me well before, how could you be so embarrassed as you said, Lin Ze is a bad guy and is fighting ghosts again. The man in the Kong family was full of embarrassment, but he didn't follow Lin Ze's answer, and looked at Kong Ming for help. Kong Ming stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, aren't you afraid, in this way, we promise not to hurt you, and if you are hurt, we will never say anything." ”
Lin Ze shook his head: "No, if my father knows about it, there will be no high-grade earth treasure." "Hehe, it's an old routine like the radical method, it's not new. Hu Hai's eyes rolled, and he said helpfully: "Don't embarrass Lin Ze, come, come with me if you need to learn, don't you look down on me?"
Everyone in the Kong family shook their heads in unison, and Kong Ming stepped forward to deny: "How can you look down on the son, it's just that I have a special relationship with Brother Lin, and I especially want to learn from him, as for Brother Lin's father's ban, although we promise not to say it, but Brother Lin is not at ease, so let's compensate Brother Lin privately for a treasure, it just so happens that I have a dragon's blood grass on hand, if Brother Lin is willing to play, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will give it to Brother Lin, and Brother Lin will not give us face to the Kong family." Hu Hai was stunned, and would rather pay the price of the treasure than fight with him, ruthless enough.
Having said that, of course Lin Ze will not refuse, since breaking through the second grade, he has taken Dibao tonic from time to time, although it is a bit wasteful to use Dibao in his realm, fortunately, with the assistance of Xiaojin, the basic absorption rate is still quite high, and his physical fitness is also growing rapidly, after a cursory look, his strength has grown to more than 15,000 catties, and it should be no problem to deal with a few children of a few years old.
For the sake of insurance, Lin Ze replied: "Since Brother Confucius has said this, it will really be a bit humiliating for you not to agree, so let's hand over the earth treasure to Gongzi for safekeeping, and then I will discuss it with you." After speaking, he took the initiative to go on stage and wait.
A disciple of the Confucian family beside Kong Mingchao gave a few instructions, and then let the Confucian disciple who had just opened his mouth to challenge come to the stage.
Lin Ze and the Confucian disciple who had not revealed his name saluted each other, and then put on a posture and waited for the other party's attack, the Confucian disciple waited for a while and saw that Lin Ze was in a defensive state and couldn't hold back the attack, Lin Ze blocked it casually, and when he felt about 6,000 catties of strength, he couldn't help but become confident. Waiting for the next time the other party attacked and turned sideways, took a deep breath and shouted, taking advantage of the other party's shock, he grabbed the opponent's arm and slammed it, and the whole person of the Kong family flew out, but fortunately, Lin Ze did not use great force, and threw the person out and fell to the ground only with a little bruises.
Kong Ming's face changed, and he blurted out: "You are the second grade of martial arts?"
Lin Ze replied innocently: "Yes, I broke through the second grade in Chang'an, and the son can testify for me." ”
Kong Ming faintly didn't believe it: "But as a son-in-law guard, aren't you only five or six years old?"
Lin Ze asked rhetorically: "Is it strange to be five or six years old at the second grade?"
Kong Ming, who was blocked, was speechless, he really wanted to beat up the person who proposed to learn from him, only he was the second grade of martial arts, and he broke through to the second grade at the age of eight, he was much younger than him, but the posture was not worse than him, and his group of people lost out the treasure, and they were humiliated when they found it, what is this, no, even if he has the reputation of bullying the small, he has to win this game, thinking of this, he ran to the ring: "Kong Ming of the Confucian family, the second grade of martial arts, please advise." ”
Lin Ze also replied with a positive color: "Lin Ze, Lin Ze, please advise." ”
Kong Ming will not faintly be the leader of the younger generation, and the momentum of his shots is much stronger than that of the previous Confucian disciple, his hands are clenched into fists, echoing back and forth, endlessly.
Lin Ze put away the heart that he had underestimated before, and first focused on dodging with the free swimming method, and fought back from time to time, intending to find Kong Ming's flaws.
After the two collisions, Lin Ze found that Kong Ming's strength was still inferior to him, and the preliminary estimate was only 12,000, so he couldn't help but want to change his strategy and fight hard with him, Kong Ming on the other side also realized that he thought that Lin Ze would be much weaker than himself even if he reached the second grade, but he didn't expect that his strength was greater than his own, and he couldn't help but panic.
Lin Ze doesn't care so much, everyone else is almost the same, I have more strength than you, this is the royal way, a little bit can grind you to death, and finally after a quarter of an hour, I finally took advantage of Kong Ming's lack of strength and bombed him down. Kong Ming's whole person was also like losing his mind, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time when he fell under the ring.
At this time, probably an elder of the Kong family came over and shouted coldly at Kong Ming: "What, as a child of the Kong family, can't you afford to lose?
Only then did Kong Ming come back to his senses and salute the elder: "Kong Ming bowed to Third Uncle Xie and reminded him that he should remember today's events, and sooner or later, he will win back if he loses." After speaking, he stared at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze was speechless for a while, what do you think I'm doing, you still dare to come up when my brother is hanging, do you think your face is not swollen enough?
The elder probably heard that Kong Ming and they had paid a land treasure in order to learn from each other, so he said directly to Lin Ze: "This Lin brother's father is really strict in discipline, and he can get a land treasure at a time, and middle-grade martial artists are not so big." ”
Lin Ze didn't reply, hehe, if you want to talk, don't count? You have to ask my boss if he agreed, and looked directly at Hu Hai, which means that you look at it.
Hu Hai immediately realized that the Kong family wanted to regret it, and his face immediately darkened: "My son has not yet reached the level of lacking one or two land treasures, before he came out, this son rewarded Lin Ze with a few land treasures, do you think your Kong family's land treasures are worth more than other people's?"
The middle-aged man's face was a little unbearable, but he couldn't fight with Hu Hai, probably because he didn't expect Hu Hai to stand up for Lin Ze, throw the box containing the treasure to Kong Ming and leave. Hu Hai said disdainfully: "Don't be ashamed to give face." "Take the things directly from Kong Ming's hand, throw them to Huang Banban, and ask him to help put them away, not giving them to Lin Ze is afraid that the Kong family will target Lin Ze, and it seems that the black Lin Ze's things can be justified, it feels really cool.
Who is Lin Ze, you can see it at a glance, hehe sneered, don't worry about you first, sooner or later you will vomit it after eating me.
