Chapter Eighty-Seven: It's Hard to Separate When We Meet in This Life
Yu Feikong had brute strength, but he couldn't touch Gong Xingwen's clothes, so he was embarrassed and angry, and scolded loudly: "Your mother only knows how to hide, what kind of martial arts competition is this? It's better to be a turtle with a shrunken head!"
Gong Xingwen continued to provoke him with words, and said: "Only by retreating can we lure the enemy deeper, and the two armies should take the initiative to avoid their sharp edges and attack the enemy's weaknesses with our strengths. Yu Fei heard him say that he had won the battle for so many years, and it was a great shame for him to survive to this day by luck. Gong Xingwen saw that he was angry, and sure enough, his footwork was chaotic, and he used Tai Chi swordsmanship, Tai Chi swordsmanship pays attention to static braking, slow and fast, intention but not force, Tai Chi is round, and there is no way to cut off. Use the sword to draw countless circles in the four directions of Yu Fei's front and back, left and right, one circle after another, the big circle runs through the small circle, the small circle contrasts the big circle, and countless small circles and big circles form the Taiji Bagua Array, the Tao gives birth to yin and yang, and yin and yang give birth to all things. Tai Chi swordsmanship is unpredictable, with the ultimate light skills, looking for the opponent to attack the empty door.
Yu Fei panicked, only defended and did not attack, tightly used the knife to protect his empty door, raised the knife and danced, Gong Xingwen saw this, and silently recited the key of the Taoist Taiji swordsmanship: "When the opportunity is right, four or two thousand catties, so that the opponent's roots are cut off." The long sword stabbed straight at Yu Fei's chest, Yu Fei raised his knife to block, but he couldn't do it, his own strength became smaller and smaller, and the opponent's strength became greater and greater, as if his own strength was sucked away by the other party. Gong Xingwen continued to comprehend the key to Tai Chi swordsmanship: "One move and one style, it must be penetrated, and the power is like the Yangtze River, surging endlessly!"
None of the people present applauded, on the contrary, they all looked solemn, looking at how Hou Sheng solved this matter, only one person put aside the dark clouds and saw the moon, that was Miss Hou, although she didn't say it, but her heart had already blossomed, and even she had regarded Gong Xingwen as her future husband, maybe to repay her kindness, but more from the depths of her heart of worship and admiration.
Hou Sheng immediately got up from his seat and personally went down to help Yu Fei, Yu Fei said, "May I ask the prince, what does this mean?"
Hou Sheng said: "I only saw that young man today, I don't know what General Yu meant by saying this to me?"
Yu Fei took that he was the prince, and he didn't have a seizure on the spot, so he lifted his big knife on the ground and sat aside, looking at how it ended today. The housekeeper next to him came to Hou Sheng's side and asked him to make a clear statement, to see whether the result of this competition should be announced or not? Hou Sheng thought to himself that since this rule had been set a long time ago, then it had to be followed by the rules, and if he had a reputation for not keeping his word, then the king of Yunnan would not have to continue to be the king. Hou Sheng nodded at the housekeeper, although the housekeeper was afraid of Yu Fei, but he didn't dare to disobey the prince's will, so he had to announce it truthfully. When everyone heard this result, they all talked about it, some people applauded, saying that the prince made a promise, and some people were worried that they might bury the root of the curse from now on.
After Yu Fei heard this, he left in a rage, feeling that he had simply lost face today, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must break this boy who does not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the body into ten thousand pieces. Hou Sheng came to Gong Xingwen, and saw that he was dignified, a talent, so young and so martial arts, he was quite satisfied with him, if he was used by me, he would definitely be a pillar of talent in the future. Hou Sheng said: "I don't know who the young man's surname is, and where does his family live?"
Gong Xingwen thought to himself: "Today's Liangzi with Yu Fei is settled, and you can't show your true face." Zuo Yi said: "In Xia Wu Feng, the four seas are home." ”
Hou Sheng smiled: "I don't know if the young man has a wife's room?"
"There is only one old father in the family, and there is no one else. ”
"That's very good, since that's the case, then wait for a good day and an auspicious day, and you will marry the little girl on a certain day. ”
Gong Xingwen was shocked, he didn't expect it to come so suddenly, it was completely unexpected, he didn't say yes, he didn't say yes, he stood there in a daze, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Seeing this, Hou Sheng asked, "Do you have any objections from Shaoxia?" Gong Xingwen was about to refuse, but suddenly looked up at Hou Mengran in the distance, only to see her expression solemn, and slowly shook her head. Gong Xingwen said: "No...... Not. ”
Hou Sheng beckoned the housekeeper to call Hou Mengran to see Gong Xingwen, and said to the housekeeper: "Our Yunnan is not like the Central Plains before we get married, and if we meet at this time, if the two sides are fated, then there is still a need to discuss." After a while, Hou Mengran came here, his face was full of shyness, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, he took Hou Sheng's arm and snuggled behind him, which was even more charming than when they met last night.
Hou Sheng said: "I don't know if you like this young man?"
Hou Mengran raised his head and peeked, and saw Gong Xingwen Yushu facing the wind, smiling without saying a word.
Hou Sheng laughed and said: "It seems that the little girl is very satisfied with the young man, so the matter is settled." ”
Gong Xingwen still stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, and in front of so many people, he didn't dare to say his agreement with Hou Mengran in person. The butler reminded beside him: "You don't hurry up and thank you." ”
Gong Xingwen reluctantly said, "Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Wang. ”
The night is like water, the moonlight is like a veil, and the earth is clothed in gorgeous clothes, and the nightingale is also singing shallowly in the distance, and the crickets are crying one after another, as if they are also celebrating this beautiful day. The mandarin ducks in the water did not sleep, at the moment leisurely swimming around the water surface, the fish were also playing in the darkness in the distance, jumping out of the water from time to time, there was a splashing sound, a beautiful and peaceful night scene.
Gong Xingwen didn't want to appreciate it at the moment, thinking about how to solve this matter, suddenly he had a thick coat on his body, turned around, and saw Hou Mengran, Hou Mengran also looked at him, and continued to put his coat on him. Hou Mengran said: "The night is very cold, and I hope that the son will not be infected with the wind cold." ”
Gong Xingwen said: "You and I have already had an appointment, but I didn't expect this matter to come true, and I hope that Miss will make it clear to the prince and let me leave early next day." ”
Hou Mengran turned around, his eyes full of tears.
"If I can make the decision on this matter, I don't have to let my son do it again. ”
"Then what should be done about this matter? Miss is a daughter, how can she be virtuous, where is she worthy of Miss. ”
"Then I say it's worthy. Hou Mengran hurriedly turned around, his eyes full of affection.
"Never, in the next ...... I have an appointment with the young lady in advance, and I can't ......"
"That agreement is no longer important, since you and I met here, it is the fate of you and me, Childe is unwilling to accept it for the sake of the agreement, or does Childe already belong in his heart?"
Gong Xingwen was silent and did not speak.
Hou Mengran understood, maybe this is his life.
"The little girl is not talented, I don't know that the son has long been concerned about other girls, this is goodbye, there is no need to meet"
"If that's the case, you're mistaking Miss's future, and you're going to pay Miss first. ”
"It's okay, can Childe talk to the little girl about Childe's sweetheart?"
Miss said with a smile, the sweetheart under the bottom is not as beautiful as Miss as a flower, not as rich as Miss Xuefu, different Miss is elegant and noble, I am afraid it is not worth mentioning. ”
"Childe doesn't have to be so modest, how fortunate it is to be Childe's sweetheart. ”
"Don't dare to be. ”
"It doesn't matter, it's just that the heavens will be different from now on. ”
"Then I'll take my leave. ”
"The little woman sends tea to the child. ”
Gong Xingwen turned around, and Hou Mengran's tears also fell. Also, there are few open-minded women in this world, and obviously Hou Mengran is not.
Gong Xingwen didn't go far, he hid not far away and watched Hou Mengran, seeing her standing in the pavilion for a long time and reluctant to leave, wiping away the tears on her face with her hands from time to time, obviously sad to the extreme, and suddenly saw her jump and jump into the lake. Gong Xingwen was shocked and rushed to rescue her, and when she was rescued, Hou Mengran had already fainted.
When Hou Mengran woke up, he saw Hou Sheng in front of the bed.
Hou Sheng asked, "Mengran, what's going on? Seeing that the day of great joy is about to begin, you can't make any mistakes." ”
Hou Mengran didn't know who rescued her, so she said: "It was my daughter who wanted to meet her son, but she accidentally fell into the lake." ”
"It seems that you really like this young man, and I can't wait for a few days, if it weren't for the young man to rescue you, I'm afraid that the happy event in the Hou Mansion will become a funeral at this moment. ”
Hou Mengran heard that it was Gong Xingwen who rescued him, and his mood instantly improved a lot, but he still couldn't believe his ears, and asked: "Daddy said that Gongzi saved me, and he ...... Didn't he go?"
Hou Sheng was puzzled: "Let's go, who is leaving?" Mengran, what are you talking about?"
"I didn't ...... Nothing, does Daddy know where Childe is? Can you call him in? I want to meet him. Hou Sheng immediately ordered someone to invite Gong Xingwen outside the room in, and left the room with all the people.
Gong Xingwen sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched Hou Mengran's forehead, it was still very hot, and sighed: "Miss, why is this so hard? It's really not worth it." ”
Hou Mengran took his hand out of the quilt, grabbed Gong Xingwen's hand tightly on his forehead, and said in a very firm tone: "It's worth it, I think it's worth it." Do you know, since I was a child, I have felt that God has been unfair to me, although I was born in a princely family, I have no worries about food and clothing, but I have never felt real happiness, until the moment you appear in front of me, I don't know what it means to be rotten in the sea, unswerving to death, God is still fair, give me a chance, I must seize it. ”
"Miss, I hope you can understand that there is no absolutely fair thing in this world, and it is impossible to be absolutely fair, good people have to go through thousands of tribulations to become Buddhas, and bad people only need to put down the butcher's knife to become Buddhas. I understand that it is too cruel to say these words to Miss at this moment, but if I don't say it at this time, I am afraid that I will not have a chance in the future. ”
Hou Mengran listened silently and didn't say a word. Tears fell like beads of broken thread, coughing softly. Seeing this, Gong Xingwen hurriedly put her hand into the quilt and re-covered it, and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. Hou Mengran looked at him, and a thousand words at this time were not enough to express the tenderness at this time. Gong Xingwen wiped her tears for her, stood up from the side of the bed, Hou Mengran grabbed his sleeve, and asked in a weak tone, "Don't go, Childe." Gong Xingwen was helpless, so he had to nod.
Gong Xingwen saw that Hou Mengran was still unwilling to let go of his sleeves, and comforted: "Since I promised Miss, I will definitely not leave for the time being, and I hope that Miss will take care of herself first, and as for other things, let's talk about it later." Hou Mengran still didn't want to let go of him, afraid that it was just a dream, and as soon as he let go of his hand, all his longing disappeared in an instant. Gong Xingwen had no choice but to let her grab her sleeves and sit on the edge of the bed with her, and after a while, he saw Hou Mengran fall asleep and got up to leave, but Hou Mengran still grabbed his sleeves tightly and didn't have the slightest intention of letting go. Gong Xingwen carefully removed her fingers with her hands, put her hands in the quilt and covered them, and walked out of the room.
Suddenly, I felt a pair of unusual eyes projected in the distance, looked up, and saw Yin Changfeng in the distance.
