Chapter 29 (18)
Lu Qian didn't seem to be aware of this change, or he was aware of it, but he pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Good apprentice, you are really good, you just entered the palace, and your identity is different." Performing martial arts on stage today is really majestic, and Master is also glorious for you. Even the emperor praised you as a young hero? The last time he left you and fled, it was the master who was wrong, isn't there really no way? If you don't leave, everyone will have to die there. But I've been worried about you since then, and now I'm relieved to see that you're okay. This is a great calamity, there is a good mouthful, called 'there must be a blessing', isn't the blessing coming soon? Jiahua, you are now a little prince, you can't be too poor and love the rich, and you have to give more money to the poor and the white, and I ...... the master."
Shangguan Yaohua's expression was as cold as ice, and he said: "Have you said enough? Who is your apprentice? I am Shangguan Yaohua, the righteous son of Prince Fu, and I am the little prince of the Qing Dynasty, and I don't recognize you reckless thieves." Acquaintance quickly get out of the way for me. ”
Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, and still forced himself to say: "Jiahua, are you kidding? You are getting better and better at pretending, but it is still a little flawed, if it weren't for Cheng Jiahua, how would you know about the old past when we were once in the grass?"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Then why do you have to try it yourself to find out? Looking at the appearance of the two of you thieves, you know that it is not a good thing." ”
To say that Lu Qian still had illusions a moment ago, but he completely woke up to this evil word, and said angrily: "You conscienceless rabbit cub......" He flipped up his palm and slashed at him. Shangguan Yaohua stepped back and shouted, "Left and right, take it for me." ”
Immediately, there were two family members on the side, one on the left and one on the right, with both palms out, blocking his attack. One person shouted: "Bold! You dare to be rude to the little prince who the emperor just named today, and you are impatient?"
Lu Qian snorted coldly, he didn't care if he was a bully or a loss of identity, and he killed the two family members first. Shangguan Yaohua said angrily: "Bold thief, this king will be an official with you in the next day, and he will tolerate it a lot, don't think that I am afraid of you?
Lu Qian sneered: "A little prince who is in name only, and who is sealed today and abolished tomorrow, dares to call himself the king?
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Stupid, I told you, I am not your ghost apprentice Cheng Jiahua. Not to mention deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors. Lu Qian snorted coldly: "Yes, don't tell me, you were originally surnamed Shangguan? There was always a family name before, right? What is that called?"
Shangguan Yaohua said arrogantly: "What is the name of this king, is it necessary to report to you? No matter what my identity was before, now I am just Shangguan Yaohua, and I want to be my little prince wholeheartedly." ”
Lu Qian said angrily: "In this way, you have changed your name, surname, and ancestors with peace of mind? You heartless, disloyal and unfilial wolf cub, your whole family was killed by the Demon Sect and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now you are here to protect their country?
Shangguan Yaohua sneered: "Ha, filial piety? How much is this 'filial piety' worth on the market? Your apprentice is a poor boy with no power and no power, and he has to bear the charge of being a thief, and now that my father-in-law can give me glory and wealth, I should follow him with an iron heart. ”
Lu Qian's eyes straightened with annoyance, and said: "Very good, in this way, you are determined not to be Cheng Jiahua, the former second leader of Qingtianzhai, to be the little prince of the Qing Dynasty, and Shangguan Yaohua who was born dependent on the powerful?" Shangguan Yaohua said: "Nonsense, the two are bandits and officials, and anyone with a conscience in the world must be able to make the right choice." ”
Lu Qian snorted coldly: "Since ancient times, officials and bandits have been one family, and you can't rely on them." Do you still have a conscience? I'm afraid there will be no beasts in the world. And one more thing, with your meager effort, what is it? Do you really think that you can sit firmly in the position of this little prince?"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "Fighting the battlefield is the only thing that low-level generals can do. As a little prince, I was born to lead others, so I don't have to deal with it. ”
Lu Qian sneered: "That's not true, look at the other princes, which one is not experienced in a hundred battles? If you want to sit back and enjoy it, there is no such thing as a good thing in the world. The prince in front of me is a fresh son of you, and after a long time, he will also ignore you. You will only use your life to deceive people's hearts and befriend the powerful...... Then again, how did the hell the Death Seeker end up in your hands?"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "What do you have to do with it? Hmph, you yourself are weak and incompetent, and you will only give your life to others, are others the same as you? What is the original family, what are the four major families, and what are the seven demons? As long as I, Shangguan Yaohua, get serious, none of these people who have always made you frightened are my opponents. ”
Li Yijie had been calmly observing Shangguan Yaohua from the side, and only then did he raise his hand and hold a piece of his sleeve that was fluttering with the wind, and said, "Let's be honest." If it weren't for Cheng Jiahua, how would this arm be broken? Don't tell me, don't tell me, you have a quirky habit of cutting off your arm to play when you have nothing to do. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said angrily: "I don't need to tell you how my arm was broken! You are so fond of spying on other people's secrets? Will you let go?"
Li Yijie said: "I am not interested in knowing your secret." At the moment, I am only trying to find out the truth in order to deduce whether your words are true or not. Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly: "Let go!" The side foot slid back a step, and he raised his slap and slapped Li Yijie in the face.
Li Yijie grabbed his wrist and said, "You keep saying that you want to get ahead." This is your way? What is this? It's almost like selling yourself at a cheap price! You say endure humiliation, and this can't be counted at all!"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "To be dignified, I am still poor and penniless. As the leader of the martial arts alliance, you can naturally talk about some righteous and awe-inspiring truths, what if you change places? If a person wants to succeed, he will definitely be sacrificed, but your luck is better than mine. Now I am very satisfied, at least my father-in-law treated me well enough, and I have become a respected little prince. In terms of value, the Chen family has been extinct for six years, and the character of Cheng Jiahua should die at that time. Later, after living for a long time, he was taken in by his father-in-law and inherited the lineage for another family, why not?"
Li Yijie said angrily: "Very good, I can see you clearly today." Although I am not talented, I also know how to put righteousness first, and I disdain to make friends with people like you!" pulled Lu Qian and said, "This kind of apprentice, if you don't want it, you don't want it, let's go." ”
Lu Qian hesitated for a moment, but still felt sad, and said: "Jiahua, that day you knelt in front of me and pleaded guilty, wept bitterly, and begged me to forgive you and accept you as a disciple again. And that's just a short ...... If it doesn't happen in a month, even if you forget it, I will remember it for you! Can a person's loyalty really change so quickly?" Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly and said, "The grandson and the bastard will kowtow to you and ask for guilt." Don't slander this king!"
Lu Qian has always been articulate, but this time he was also angry with his stomach. After a while, he said: "I always thought that you were a little white-eyed wolf, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect you to be a ......" The accent dragged out for a long time, but I didn't find a more suitable word to describe it, so I said helplessly: "I didn't think you were a big white-eyed wolf!"
Shangguan Yaohua sneered and said, "People go to high places, water flows to low places, and good horses don't eat back grass!
Lu Qian snorted coldly and said, "Okay, very good." Back then, when you saw that the head teacher of the Kongtong faction had lost power, you made a temporary decision and turned to me; Qingtianzhai had not collapsed yet, and you went to curry favor with the dark night in order to find a new backer; he died not long ago, and you came back to be my apprentice? You will rebel when you meet the master, and if you meet a bigger official in the future, will you leave Prince Fu behind? He will not let you go so easily, you have brought him such a great shame, with his power in the palace, God can do you without knowing it. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "It's better to die than to live." If I rebel against the Lord, I will betray only those who have lost power. At that time, since he has no power and is too busy to take care of himself, what will he do against me? Do you know that your master is a dead man, and still have to put up the name of loyalty and righteousness, and willingly bury him?"
There was a lot of noise here, and Prince Fu and a few officials happened to be passing by here, and when they saw this scene, they quickened their pace to meet them, and said strangely: "Yaohua, what are you doing here? Why haven't you returned to the house yet?"
Shangguan Yaohua put away his arrogant and domineering expression in front of Prince Fu, and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, it's not a big deal, it's just a little misunderstanding." The two adults mistook the child for one of their former disciples, and the child was talking. Then he leaned close to Prince Fu's ear and whispered: "Actually, Lord Lu's apprentice has died, and he suddenly suffered the pain of bereavement, and he couldn't adapt to it for a while, so he took the child as a comforter." Although the words are inevitably more extreme, the sadness can be imagined, and the child can understand it. ”
Prince Fu nodded slightly when he listened, and said, "Wait for the righteous father to explain to the two adults, Yaohua, you go back first." Shangguan Yaohua said: "Yes." After speaking, he calmly left with his family.
Lu Qian hurriedly said: "Cheng Jiahua, are you just leaving, stop me!" Prince Fu stepped forward, stopped between Shangguan Yaohua's place, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, Xiao'er has told you just now, he can understand your grief and anger at the loss of your beloved apprentice, but Lord Lu also has to understand that people can't always live in the past, Yaohua is indeed not your deceased apprentice." ”
Lu Qian snorted coldly, he had long been dissatisfied with the old fox Prince Fu, and at this time, he just vented his anger at the same time, and sneered: "It's really strange, Prince Fu only recently met Jiahua, how do you know his past history? What position do you stand on to vouch for him?" Prince Fu said: "Yaohua is a sensible child, and he has always been sincere to this king. I have been in officialdom for so many years, and I believe that the old eyes have not fainted, and this set of skills to recognize people will not be wrong. ”
Lu Qian sneered: "Then I'm afraid that the sharp eyes you have maintained for many years will be destroyed on that little wolf cub this time." Do you accept him as a righteous son, and don't even inquire about his origin in advance? Or do you believe whatever he says? Even if you don't know anything else, you should have heard of Qingtianzhai, right? His Shangguan Yaohua is Cheng Jiahua, the former second leader in my village. You are a dignified official of the imperial court, and you accept a former bandit leader after Zhao'an as a righteous son, I am afraid that it will have some impact on your reputation?"
Prince Fu said: "Yaohua was originally the son of a rich and noble family, and later his family fell into the middle of the road, so he went to the rivers and lakes to beg for a living, and suffered a lot, but he never went up the mountain to be a robber, and the Qingtian Village of your Lu Dazhai master has nothing to do with it." What's more, he was brought back by Master Cao. Lord Cao is an old friend of this king for many years, and he is willing to guarantee the innocence of this child's family background, how can I doubt it anymore?"
Lu Qianqi said: "Lord Cao, he has never had any friendship with Jiahua, how could he help him lie?" Prince Fu smiled faintly and said, "That's right, I still want to ask Lord Lu about this question?"
