Chapter 31: The Pen and the Sword

Along the way, Zhong Li deliberately avoided the towns in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only stopped in Luobei City for a while, in addition to avoiding unnecessary troubles from the eyes of the Supervision Department, but also to a large extent to make a few people closer to nature, and use the vastness of heaven and earth to wash the mortal hearts of students, so after a month, several teenage children swept the sky and slept in the open, and their eyes were a little more dusty than when they first went on the road, but they were more clear.

Originally, Zhong Li thought that when Zhao Xifeng and others first entered the capital, they would inevitably be curious about the pavilions and pavilions in the city, and the amorous characters, but after the battle of the Concave Sword Valley, everyone's mind belonged to the practice, and although they occasionally paid attention to the prosperous street scene outside the window, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Among several people, the most relaxed state is Zhao Xifeng, who has just woken up from his mind, he changed the state of realizing the sword in a trance a few days ago, the whole person is lazy, and he doesn't look at the dragon tooth bi placed in the corner of the carriage, as if the strong desire to make the sword before is fake, only Zhong Li can see that Zhao Xifeng's eyes wander around, but he can't avoid the direction of the sword, obviously he is still jealous.

So, Zhong Li casually pinched the dragon tooth bi and stuffed it into Zhao Xifeng's arms, and the latter's body immediately stiffened.

"Don't run away from cultivation," Zhong Li said solemnly, "face it." ”

Zhao Xifeng hesitated for a while, nodded slowly, reached out to hold the hilt of the sword, and the whole person returned to a trembling state.

I don't know when, there were four more middle-aged men in yellow clothes around the car that was originally traveling alone, just looking at the outfit, it was no different from the Huangji Sect duty in the drum tower of Panlong Town, obviously a disciple of the Zhong family.

These four people are dusty, although there is a tired look in their eyes, but their posture is still upright, it can be seen that these people must be the secret escort of the people of Panlong Academy when they are traveling all the way east, there should be more such people along the way, and they did not show up until this time, until the carriage finally galloped at full speed, they didn't care about hiding their figures, and they used their skills to follow, from this point of view, even if Cao Xiyun didn't make a move, he was sure enough to escort Zhong Li back to Beijing safely, Zhong Tiaochen was no one, how could he allow even a slight theoretical difference in the safety of his beloved daughter.

After the carriage entered the city from the west, it did not turn to Huangjizong, but went around the city, bought some clothes for Zhao Xifeng and others, and went out of the city by the same way, came to an inn in the western suburbs, and arranged for a few people to stay.

After a few people settled down, Zhong Li said goodbye to the four of them, saying that they were going to inquire about the news in Beijing now, and then to inform Zhao Xifeng after there was confirmed information.

Zhao Xifeng's room is on the second floor of the inn, overlooking the window and you can see a restaurant across the street, downstairs there are two bare peach trees, on the branch of the tree sits a woman in a crimson dress, the skirt flutters back and forth with her legs, adding a touch of color to the winter capital.

"I don't think this building is very good, it's similar to the original one of Lao Sun's house, you see that woman, climbing trees in broad daylight, unruly, no better than the women in our northwest. Dong Erfat, who was in the same room as Zhao Xifeng, pouted after looking around, what he meant on the surface was probably to express his disdain for this world-famous city by despising Shengjing's restaurant, but in fact, he was just dissatisfied because he didn't see Zhong Tiaochen, the head of the five uniques.

Zhao Xifeng ignored him, closed the window and sat back on the bed, looking at the dragon tooth bi in his hand in a silent daze.

Ah, I'm here to save you.

After each court meeting, Pei Yuanhou would sit in Shunhe Zhai for a while, drink a cup of soy milk, and eat two dishes of side dishes.

But today's situation is a little exceptional, there is an unprecedented person sitting opposite Pei Yuanhou, and that person is a big man with a golden knife, and his face is full of indifferent smiles, in fact, he is not inferior to the prime minister of the current dynasty under this big man!

A six-foot long sword was casually thrown on the table where Pei Yuanhou put the soybean milk side dishes on weekdays, who could actually wear a sword to meet Pei Yuanhou?

"Some people say that in the past twenty years, the reason why Da Zhou has been able to always maintain the initiative in the process of fighting wits and strength with the grassland barbarians is mainly due to three reasons," The figure leaned back, and the wooden chair made a creaking sound, which could fall apart at any time, as if the grass and trees had been rolled over by the sleeping tiger, "A sword, a picture, a pen, a sword, naturally it is me Zhong someone, the picture, is Mr. Chun's Zhenguo star map, and that pen is naturally your Pei Xiangshou's Spring and Autumn pen of Chinese ruling the world, what does Xiangguo think of this statement?"

With such momentum and qualifications, a swordsman sitting opposite Pei Yuanhou, of course, in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is none other than Zhong Tiaochen, the head of the Five Uniques.

Pei Yuanhou quietly glanced at the huge long sword placed on the table, and said flatly: "Mr. A sword supports the backbone of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years, it is not an exaggeration to praise this, and the Tianqing Sizhen National Star Map is worthy of its name in the past hundred years, as for the contemptible, he just does some tinkering chores, and he is ashamed to be on the same level as Master Zhong and Mr. Chun." ”

Facing such respectful words from the prime minister of the current dynasty, Zhong Tiaochen nodded, and said unceremoniously: "I also think so, you Pei Yuanhou has only been from the court to the prime minister for more than 30 years, and before that, more than 70 years ago, the Great Zhou had me, Tianqingsi, the Zhenbei Fourth Army, and the royal family's Liancheng and blue blood, defending the country for the people, and the northern barbarians have never weakened their momentum." ”

"That's what the gentleman said. In the face of Zhong Tiaochen's face-to-face humiliation, Pei Xiang's face had already changed color, but Pei Yuanhou still looked calm and spitted on his face.

Zhong Tiaochen laughed for a while, stretched out his hand and patted the long sword on the table, and after a long silence, his expression suddenly turned cold, and said: "In this case, my daughter Zhong Mou returned from a study tour in Panlong Town, and you have repeatedly ordered the Supervision Department to obstruct it all the way, and even used the engineering crossbow.

The air in Shunhe Zhai instantly condensed, Zhong Tiaochen obviously had no luck, but the two masters of the Zhiwei Realm beside Pei Yuanhou felt that the Yuan Spirit in his body had been suppressed and almost frozen, and it was difficult to even lift his fingers, they had no doubt that if Zhong Tiaochen had murderous intentions at this time, as long as he looked up at them, they would die.

At the center of all the pressures, Pei Yuanhou, who was obviously just an ordinary person, was still calm, as if the person in front of him was not the No. 1 swordsman of the Great Zhou on the surface, but just an ordinary old friend who lost his temper, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "Ling Yuan is the dragon and phoenix, Pei does not dare to move lightly, but if he continues to entangle with the wanted criminal of the Supervision Department, in case of any accident, Pei will also be sad that Da Zhou will lose a pillar in the future." ”

As soon as these implicit threatening words were spoken, the two attendants behind him couldn't help but be terrified in their hearts, if they pulled out their swords and killed people at this time, no matter how powerful Ren Pei Yuanhou was, he couldn't stand the sword in front of him.

Before it was over, Pei Yuanhou followed up and said: "Sir, have you ever thought that thirty years ago, there was no me in the court, and the north could not cross to the south.
