Chapter 4 Stone in the Sky
Yingdu is the capital of the Chu State, and the city walls are more than ten zhang high, looking from the sky, it looks like a giant beast crawling on the earth.
Li Mubai landed outside the city, did not attract the attention of others, and entered this majestic city through the city gate like an ordinary person.
The streets were paved with bluestone slabs, but wide enough for six or seven horse-drawn carriages to pass in parallel, and the main avenue was lined with no vendors, only shops.
However, Li Mubai didn't come to travel, and he didn't care about this, he ran directly to an old man and asked, "Uncle, do you know where Shi Zhongtian Daxia lives?"
The uncle looked at Li Mubai holding a long knife, looking like a disciple of the rivers and lakes, and stroked the pale beard on his chin: "Young man, you are also admired, I hope that Shi Daxia will give you guidance, right?"
Without waiting for Li Mubai to answer, the uncle continued: "That is, Shi Zhongtian is a big-minded man who doesn't care about you, but you are too presumptuous, where can a big man like that have time to see you?"
This uncle looked like a supporter of Shi Zhongtian, and Li Mubai had no choice but to say: "Uncle, I am an old friend with Shi Daxia, and I am here to visit him this time." ”
Li Mubai and Shi Zhongtian have met once, and they say that there is nothing wrong with the old man.
Seeing Li Mubai's sincere expression, the uncle was a little undecided, but after thinking about it, even if he didn't say it, Li Mubai could find it, if it was really the old man of Shi Zhongtian, it would be a small favor.
"The east is the imperial city, and the south is where those dignitaries live, the Chu Emperor gave Shi Daxia a mansion, just to the south, you can ask when you get there. ”
"Okay, thank you!"
After getting the news, Li Mubai went directly to the south, and sure enough, as the old man said, he knew Shi Zhongtian's specific address as soon as he asked.
Looking at the two big characters of Shifu hanging on the confined vermilion lacquer gate in front of him, Li Mubai stepped forward and knocked hard, and after a while, he heard a sound of footsteps.
The door opened a mouth, revealing a human head, and when he saw Li Mubai, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
"I'm here to visit Shi Zhongtian, Shi Daxia. ”
The little guy suddenly looked impatient: "My master is not here." ”
After that, the door was about to close.
Li Mubai put his hand on the door, and the little guy couldn't control it no matter how hard he tried, and he was immediately annoyed.
But before he could have a seizure, Li Mubai smiled and said: "I am the old man of your family, and I came here today for something important, if you don't believe it, then take my saber and go in to give it to your master." ”
The little guy was skeptical, but Li Mubai did not flinch in the slightest when he met his gaze, and handed over the blood to him.
After taking the blood, the little servant was afraid that Li Mubai was really an old man and delayed his master's affairs, so he said: "You wait here for a while, and I will go to report to the master now." ”
As soon as the little servant closed the door, he immediately walked towards the study, since his master lived in this mansion, he had never seen him dancing with a sword and a sword, and he had been soaking in the study all day long to read.
If it weren't for the fact that people came to visit his master every day, he would have doubted whether his master was really the legendary person.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in!"
A strong voice came, and the little servant pushed open the door of the study, walked in, and said respectfully without waiting for him to ask: "Master, there are people outside who claim to be your old friend and want to visit you." ”
"Oh?" Shi Zhongtian put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at the little guy, "Who is it?"
The little guy handed over the blood with both hands: "He said you will know it when you see this knife." ”
Shi Zhongtian stretched out his hand and held the knife in his hand, feeling the hidden heat and sharpness of the blood, and couldn't help but praise: "Good knife!"
Then he thought about it carefully, which friend's saber was this, but he didn't think of the corresponding person after thinking about it for a long time, and secretly wondered: "Is that really what he told you?"
"Yes!"
No matter who it is, it is not an ordinary person to have such a good knife, so Shi Zhongtian said: "You go and invite people in." ”
The little guy breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and replied respectfully: "Yes!"
Looking at the black-sheathed knife in front of him, Shi Zhongtian was a little curious for a while, so he pulled out the knife, and suddenly the blood was red, and a knife qi flew out from the blade, flying towards Shi Zhongtian with the domineering power that cut everything.
In the dark, Shi Zhongtian seemed to hear someone shouting: "Chop!"
However, Shi Zhongtian was not affected by anything, stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers, and the sword qi was suddenly shattered, but he looked at his fingers with some surprise.
"I'm actually injured! I've already touched the will of martial arts, and it seems that I'm really not an ordinary person. ”
Inserting the knife back into the scabbard, Shi Zhongtian suddenly became a little curious about this person, and this person was already worthy of his respect, so he got up and left the study, and soon saw Li Mubai, who was led by the little servant.
Shi Zhongtian was a little stunned by Li Mubai's age, and he could naturally see that Li Mubai was really young, not a good look.
Although he was surprised in his heart, Shi Zhongtian remained silent on the surface: "What a hero is a young man, it is really remarkable to have such cultivation at such a young age." ”
Li Mubai said politely: "The seniors are polite, compared to the seniors, this is nothing." ”
Shi Zhongtian's mind spun quickly, sifting through the young handsome men in his impression one by one, and finally fixed it on a portrait, and looked at it carefully, he was already sure that it was this person, and his heart was even more strange: "Didn't he have a holiday with the imperial court? Why did he come to me? And this progress is too fast, right? This time after three years, even I am far inferior." ”
"Li Xiaoyou, this is your knife. ”
Shi Zhongtian returned the blood to Li Mubai, and then continued: "Li Xiaoyou come with me. ”
Follow Shi Zhongtian to the lobby and sit down.
Shi Zhongtian said: "Come to Fu, serve tea." ”
The little guy hurriedly said, "Yes, master!"
When the blessing was sent away, Shi Zhongtian asked straight to the point: "I don't know Xiaoyou, I don't know what Xiaoyou is looking for me?"
Although Li Mubai came to ask for help, he wouldn't just say it stupidly, isn't that at the mercy of others? There are not many others in the court, but there are many people, which is also the reason why he first found Shi Zhongtian, using him as a breakthrough, as long as he is convinced, then this matter will be at least half.
"I'm here to cooperate with the imperial court. ”
"Cooperation?"
Shi Zhongtian suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, and his surprise today was about to catch up with that of several years before.
However, he still said: "Even if you want to cooperate with the imperial court, you should go to someone else, what's the use of looking for me?"
Because you're so talkative!
Li Mubai naturally didn't say it directly, but said: "After all, I am a person in the rivers and lakes, and you also know that I have a bit of a dirty relationship with the imperial court, so I ......"
Shi Zhongtian nodded in approval: "Then I don't know what kind of cooperation you are talking about?" If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
