Chapter Twenty-Five: The Waves Rise Again
Wei Qing and the three of them knew that Wu Yunfei and Jiang Liqiong had a close relationship, but at this time, they felt inconvenient to see each other when they saw the two hugging each other, so they just came out of the hiding place rashly, and they were afraid of alarming each other, so they had to bow their heads and not look. Wu Yunfei and Jiang Liqiong hugged each other for a long time before separating, only to hear Wu Yunfei ask: "How is tonight, haven't you been wronged", Jiang Liqiong lowered her head and said with waves in her eyes: "Brother Yunfei, why bother with me, I was molested by wicked people in Xiangguo Temple during the day, but you helped the wicked people to embarrass the three righteous men who saved me, why do you have to ask many times now."
Wu Yunfei blushed and hurriedly defended: "I didn't know that this matter was related to you at the time, Wang Yanei only said that I would let me help him, otherwise how could I be like this, if I didn't care about you, how could I hurry up and secretly inform Mrs. Wang as soon as I got the news you sent, if I have half a lie, I am willing to be willing to be thundered by the day, so that I can't glorify the lintel of the Wu family."
When Jiang Liqiong heard this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover Wu Yunfei's mouth and said warmly: "Don't talk nonsense, Qiong'er knows that Brother Yunfei treats me very well, why do you swear indiscriminately, alas, I don't know that this turmoil will delay you to fill the vacancy in the Baoping Army, if I miss your future, Qiong'er will die."
Wu Yunfei hugged Jiang Liqiong into his arms again and said: "It shouldn't be, I wrote a note and secretly shot into Mrs. Wang's room with a hidden weapon, no one saw it, you can stay here for a while with peace of mind, and when I make military achievements in the army, I will immediately give up my credit and ask the court to issue a document in exchange for you to get out of the church, and when the time comes, marry you and give birth to a few children, and then don't worry about these trivial matters."
Jiang Liqiong leaned her head on Wu Yunfei's chest and said: "I heard that the Jin people are not far from the Beijing Division when they go south this time, maybe the imperial court will let you go out to the army one day, don't take the risk because you are in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, let's take your time, I have been waiting for so many years, and it is not bad for this year and a half, in short, my heart will always be left to you, the war is dangerous, if you have an accident, I will not be able to live alone."
Wu Yunfei laughed and said: "My father has taught me the art of war since I was a child, not to mention that I am skilled in bows and horses, and my gun and stick skills are not bad, whether it is in the Ouchi or the forbidden army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have opponents, if I didn't refuse to attach myself to the boss before, I have already won the official title on the battlefield with what I have learned, how can I be trapped in the palace to be a low-grade guard", he sighed and continued: " Alas, I thought that now that I have taken the line of the Wang family, I can take the path of the Privy Council to seek a military position in the Baoping Army to stay and observe, even if I want to spend some silver or reluctantly agree, it doesn't hurt, but this Wang Yanei is too domineering, and it violates my bottom limit of being a man, I hope to be able to serve in the army as soon as possible, rely on real skills to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and no longer have to look at people's faces in the dirty." Jiang Liqiong hurriedly said some intimate words to comfort her lover, and the two chatted for a while before leaving separately.
Wei Qing waited for Wu Yun to fly away before coming out of the hideout, Wei Qing said: "This Wu guard was forced to work for Wang Kai's swinger, no wonder he deliberately lost to me before, but it is a pity and a pity that the military position of the imperial court has to rely on the noble and wealthy families, but it is not earned on the battlefield by virtue of skills."
Xiao Qinchuan said: "The love is especially forgivable, but it is not the work of the eldest husband, Qi Zhi is hungry and does not eat the food that comes, not to mention my generation, although I understand him, but I dare not agree with his actions", he paused and said: "It seems that the brother of the meeting is also the champion and the first, full of talent, and he is admired in the next place, but because of his sexual ambition, he was suppressed by many members of the court, and he succumbed to the Taixue and did not take up the central position, but he never had the idea of tending to be inflammatory. This time the Jin people went south, and the brother of the meeting contacted the court in many ways to fight the main battle, and his words were quite sincere, and it was said that he had won the attention of the saints, and he would probably be promoted and reused later, didn't he also earn it by himself, and why should he have to rely on others."
Wei Qing heard Qin Hui mentioned, and was about to open his mouth to ask about his current situation, when a figure suddenly walked out of the back door of the Tiecai Building, and the three of them saw that it was Li Rui, only to see her slowly walk to the front and say: "The three sons have just left, and they have returned here for some reason, and they are still hiding to peep into people's privacy."
Wei Qing heard her words with a slight sense of disgust, and quickly explained: "I waited for the Wu guard to meet on the road, I was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the girl if he was forced by others, so I followed here, not to intend to inquire about private matters."
When Li Rui heard him say this, she knew that Wei Qing and the three of them really had good intentions, so she sighed lightly and said: " Sister Qiong and Brother Wu are in love, she can find a good companion for me to be a sister and be happy, Sister Qiong is a woman from a good family, but unfortunately the family is unfortunate to be compiled, and non-official literature is not allowed to get out of the workshop, Brother Wu is attached to the Wang family because of this, and is eager to be released to serve in the army, and wants to redeem Sister Qiong in exchange for his military exploits.
Wei Qing and Cao Lu both nodded in agreement, and Xiao Qinchuan also arched his hand and replied: "How can we be those village husbands and foolish women with long tongues, there will not be a single word that circulates outside, not to mention that the guards of Wu do not hesitate to be eagles and dogs in order to achieve their own goals, why should I do things that harm others and myself to ruin the future of others, but Miss Li, as a daughter, can clean herself in the land of fireworks, and I really admire it in my heart."
Li Rui bit her lip lightly when she heard this, seemed to be thoughtful, and said after a while: "Life is like duckweed, what virtue can be worthy of admiration, Xiao Gongzi's family is well-off, and he is a bachelor with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, presumably this life must be a big road, and where will he know the difficulties of people under the eaves, but in any case, the concubine body still has to thank you for your help today." She said that she owed Tingting a salute, and without waiting for Wei Qing and the three of them to return the salute, she turned around and returned to the Tiecai Building.
Xiao Qinchuan looked at Li Rui's back in a daze, and said to himself: "Affectionate, more wise, what a strange woman", Wei Qing also felt that this matter had nothing to do with Li Rui, but she stepped forward in order to help her sisters, and she was able to stick to the bottom in distress, and skillfully used means to resolve this big trouble, even many men are not enough.
Wei Qing and Cao Lu returned to Daxin and still practiced martial arts every day, and after they were successful in martial arts, they would go north to find Ha Mi Chi to avenge their master Lin Hu, and gradually forgot about the previous things unconsciously, until a month later, Xiao Qinchuan suddenly came to visit. After Wei Qing invited him to sit down, Xiao Qinchuan took out a letter from his arms with a cold face and handed it to Wei Qing, Wei Qing and Cao Lu took a cursory look, it was actually a challenge written by Wu Yunfei, and about three of them competed in the Tiecai Building at noon five days later.
Wei Qing was full of suspicions: "Isn't this matter already over, this guard Wu obviously deliberately lost to me before, I don't know why he is now causing more trouble."
Xiao Qinchuan snorted coldly and said: "Didn't he help Wang Kai to embarrass us before, what he said was to redeem himself for others and glorify the lintel of the door without talent, in the final analysis, it is just an excuse for self-deception, is this kind of thing still less in the dynasty, when the officials of the court want to cede the three towns to the Jin people, don't they also keep saying that they are trying to save the common people from misery, this kind of dirty way to break through the bottom limit will be done once, there will be a second time, but every time they will find a new reason."
Wei Qing also said to Xiao Qinchuan with a little resentment: "Why should such a villain bother, do we have to go if he asks us to compete, can't we provoke these senseless people."
Xiao Qinchuan snorted and said: "The Wang Mansion family who sent the letter said that if we miss the appointment or lose the competition, Wang Kai will ask the Ministry of Rites to send Miss Li to the army as a prostitute, unless we can raise three hundred taels of silver to redeem Miss Li's deed from the teaching workshop within five days, it is difficult to have any other way." Anyway, I will never let Miss Li suffer such an unwarranted disaster, and besides, how can I avoid it without fighting and shorten my temperament."
Cao Lu said angrily: "This Wang Kai is so hateful, what does the competition between us have to do with Miss Li, why do you want to implicate her", Xiao Qinchuan said hatefully: "It must be Wu Yunfei who confessed to Miss Li's previous strategy, and Wang Kai came up with this vicious method in order to avenge the shame of catching adultery."
Wei Qingdao: "Wu Yunfei is strong in martial arts, the three of us are not his opponents, how can this be good, if you hurt Miss Li because of this, it will be bad, if you pay to redeem the deed, where will you get three hundred taels of silver."
Xiao Qinchuan said: "For today's plan is only to fight to the death, although I can't beat Wu Yunfei, but it is only slightly inferior, as the saying goes, one person is desperate, a hundred people are unstoppable, this competition is only for him to fight for merit and show his face, if I do my best to fight for my life, the victory or defeat is unknown."
Cao Lu shouted loudly: "Yes, we just fight for our lives and can't even affect Miss Li, Wu Yunfei is still counting on winning the battle to be the marquis, and he doesn't want to hurt us at this time, if we are willing to work hard, we will be able to win him, if it doesn't work, let's have a wheel battle, I didn't make a shot last time, this time I simply let me take the lead, Brother Qing will play the second game, we only defend and not attack to consume more of his strength, Brother Xiao's martial arts are the strongest, so he will go up again in the end to determine the winner."
Xiao Qinchuan said proudly: "That's not necessary, I'll take the lead, if I miss it, it's not too late to ask Xian Kunzhong to make a move."
Cao Lu was still waiting to say more, but Xiao Qinchuan waved his hand and stopped: "Since ancient times, evil has not suppressed the right, I just want to win the first master of this big house in a dignified manner, please see you in front of the two Tiecai Lou in five days, and see which one is stronger and which is weak." Xiao Qinchuan got up and said goodbye, Wei Qing knew that he had an arrogant temperament and would not be willing to take advantage of his opponent, so he had to believe that he could beat Wu Yunfei, so he immediately gave up his hand, and Cao Lu and Cao Lu seized the last five days to hone their martial arts, hoping to have a better chance of winning.
