Chapter XI
Jiang Xinting saw that Yue Xian told the origin of this sword, and exclaimed: "Yue Gongzi is worthy of being a martial arts family, and he recognizes the craftsmanship of the Yonghu Liu family at a glance. ”
Yue Xian took the sword back into its scabbard: "The Yonghu Liu family has gone through thirteen generations and more than three hundred years, and has always been known as the first divine soldier in the world. Only one sword, one dagger, and one knife are cast every year. With this Liu family blade, there are still less than a thousand pieces, except for the ones that have been lost and collected, there are only a few dozen pieces that can still be seen today, right?"
Jiang Xinting couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, as Gongzi said, this one was cast by Youning in the sixth year, and it has been more than forty years ago." It was obtained by accident when I went to Tongzhou to quell the rebellion a few years ago, and I am now transferring it to my son to thank him for his kindness. ”
Yue Xian pushed the sword box: "The Great Commander is polite, a little credit, why worry about it." This sword is really valuable, please take it back. ”
Jiang Xinting saw Yue Xian's resignation, and hurriedly said, "Son, don't refuse." I came today, firstly, because of the life-saving grace of Gongzi Xie. Second, there is another thing to ask for, if the son refuses to accept the sword, then I can't say anything about it. ”
When Yue Xian heard him say this, he thought to himself: "I am not very rare with his sword, let's see what else he has to say." Thinking in his heart, he answered, "What is the matter, the Great Commander, but it is okay to say." ”
Jiang Xinting only accepted Yue Xian, and said: "Then I'll say it directly, Gongzi Yue is from Yue Jian Villa, when I fought against Emperor Taizu Hailong Pass, I was helped by a chivalrous warrior named Yue Xiaowu in Guizhuang, I don't know what to call Gongzi?"
"It's the great-ancestor of Xiaomin, the battle of Hailong Pass, I also heard my father mention it slightly, but he just said that he did his best to help a little way, and I don't know the details. ”
Jiang Xinting saw Yue Xian say this, and waved his hand: "Where is the small favor, in Hailong Pass back then, Emperor Taizu and the literary process confronted each other for three months, and they couldn't attack for a long time, the food and grass were not enough, the midwinter was approaching, and they were in a dilemma. ”
When Yue Xian heard him mention the old things, he had already guessed eight or nine points in his heart, and said: "Punishing evil and promoting good is where the morality of the rivers and lakes lies. ”
Jiang Xinting arched: "Gongzi Gaoyi, I admire it! Today, Jiang Mou came to think that after Gongzi is brave and resourceful, and he is a chivalrous warrior, if he can serve the court, it will be the blessing of the court and the blessing of the people." If Childe has a heart, I am willing to promote Childe to be the deputy commander of the Dragoon, as long as Childe does not feel wronged. ”
Yue Xian pushed the sword box slightly towards Jiang Xinting's side again, "Thanks to the love of the great commander, the small people are not talented, they are just idlers in the rivers and lakes, and they are used to living an unrestrained life, so they really can't enter the court, and the great commander will take back this sword together!"
Jiang Xinting was not surprised to see Yue Xian's refusal, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone has their own ambitions." Since this sword was given to the son, how can there be any reason to take it back? With that, he got up and took his leave.
Seeing that Jiang Xinting had left, Mr. Ji and the others walked out of the back room, and Mr. Ji spoke: "According to his subordinates, this Jiang Xinting does not really want to recommend the son. ”
Yue Xian nodded, he had already heard from the King of Beining, this Jiang Xinting was very arrogant, holding a dragoon army, and he was a royal prince, except for a few princes, no one took it seriously, how could he sincerely recommend him as a Jianghu person? Moreover, he and Yue Xian were only a few sides of each other, where did he know that he was "brave and strategic"?
Mr. Ji continued: "Perhaps, is there another purpose? Or is it someone else's instructions?"
"There is another person" This made Yue Xian think of that person, although there were not many meetings, but every time it seemed unintentional, in fact, he had been trying to see through Yue Xian's intentions, and that person's keen eyes made Yue Xian also feel a trace of pressure that he had never felt before. Yue Xian said to Mr. Ji: "The wind is unknown. ”
Yue Xian rejected Jiang Xinting, Feng Weiming was not surprised, he even had a feeling that Yue Xian's purpose was definitely not simple, even if he really gave him the deputy commander of the Dragoon Army, he was afraid that he would not be satisfied. Feng Weiming didn't want to have direct contact with Yue Xian for the time being, he just wanted to observe him from a distance for a while. Feng Weiming is more interested in Yue Jianshan, the Yue Jian Villa behind Yue Xian, this mysterious Jianghu sect, the last time it entered people's sight, it was more than eighty years ago, but now it has entered the eyes of Jianghu people again with the marriage with the Xuanhu faction. And now, another son of Yue Jian Villa is in the capital.
But soon, the news brought by Tu Hai made Feng Weiming have no time to take care of Yue Xian anymore: Lei Shuangjian was going back to Beijing.
Lei Shuangjian is Feng Weiming's senior brother, and he is also a disciple of Yao Xiyan, and he started three years earlier than Feng Weiming. Although martial arts are not as famous as Fengwei, the means are vicious, and the way to do things is even more unscrupulous. No matter what others think, in Lei Shuangjian's opinion, if there is no Feng Weiming, the next commander of Shiliangmen should be his Lei Shuangjian's bag. After Yao Xichen's sudden death, the two were already on the same page for the position of commander, Emperor Xiang didn't know whether it was to alleviate the contradiction between the two, or if he had another deep meaning, and sealed a left army of unknown origin as a commander, and let Feng Weiming and Lei Shuangjian be deputy commanders respectively. Before that, Shi Liangmen had not had a deputy commander for more than ten years, and the following commanders were the twelve gates. Zuo Jun also knew that Feng Lei and Lei were not in harmony, so he rarely let the two of them be together. Zuo, Feng, and Lei usually take turns to stay at Shiliangmen, and the other two go out to handle cases.
Feng Weiming originally thought that the case of Xiangchengbo in Liezhou could at least delay Lei Shuangjian until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't expect him to come back so soon, it seems that he also learned that the second princess was about to return to Beijing, Feng Weiming couldn't help but scold Lei Shuangjian in his heart: I know too well what you think.
Feng Weiming's general Tu Hai called in: "Put everything else aside these days, you bring people, and keep an eye on the post stations and restaurants near the capital, especially outside the north gate, and come back to tell me as soon as there is news of the second princess." "Tu Hai took the order to go down.
Feng Weiming knew very well that Zhu Bolun, who went to Beishu with the second princess this time, was Lei Shuangjian's henchman, otherwise he would not have gotten the news so quickly and hurried back from Lizhou.
The second princess traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and the trip was very slow, Yue Xian estimated that it would take three or four days to enter Beijing, so he instructed someone to prepare for the move first. Although there were not many things, I was busy all day from morning to night. In the evening, Xiaotong hurriedly came back and asked Yue Xian: "Childe, I was so confused that I forgot to ask Childe how to name the new house." ”
Yue Xian thought for a while, picked up the pen and said while writing: "Let's call it 'Jiyu Garden'!"
Xiao Tong looked at the three words on the paper, thought for a while, and asked strangely, "This is?"
Yue Xian said slowly: "When others asked, they said that I was just temporarily living in Beijing, and I gave it such a name at random. ”
Although Xiao Tong was still confused, he could hear that this was not Yue Xian's heart, but he still agreed: "Yes!"
On the second day, everyone got up early, hung up the signs, and officially moved in. Several friends of the king of Bac Ninh and Yue Xian in Beijing came to congratulate him, and although Feng Weiming and Jiang Xinting did not come, they also sent congratulatory gifts. After tossing and turning like this for a whole day, it was not until the evening when everyone dispersed that Yue Xian was able to relax, at this time, there seemed to be an irrepressible voice shouting in his heart: "I'm here!"
