Chapter 21: The Road Is Uneven
Qin Hui affectionately held Wei Qing and walked out and said: "I hit it off with the virtuous brother at first sight, so it is better to call my cousin in the future, so as not to sound very outward, all of the people who came today are my friends, how can there be a reason to let the virtuous brother settle the bill, I have already paid the silver, and please don't be surprised by the virtuous brother."
Wei Qing blushed and said: "I said that I would be the east, how embarrassing is this", Qin Hui replied nonchalantly: "Although you and I have known each other for a long time, I admire the bloody deeds of the virtuous brother, I am a scholar who can't hold a knife in his hand, I can only write some articles and shout a few words, this really big thing to kill the enemy in Jingbian still depends on a heroic person like the virtuous brother, so why bother with some things outside the body."
Wei Qing didn't expect that his previous worries and troubles would be solved in this way, and he said gratefully: "Then I will take the liberty of calling the brother of the association, I can't help with the matter of writing to the court this time, but my senior brother can still have some superficial martial arts, if the brother of the association needs it in the future, just give the order."
Qin Hui smiled: "It's not that you have to be able to help to make friends, I just think that I have the same temperament as the two of you, in fact, I have always had a sense of nostalgia in Taixue, and I can't really get involved in court affairs, but I am not as happy as you are to be happy in the rivers and lakes, alas, if you get 300 acres of paddy fields, this time you will not be the king of the monkey", he said and sighed, meaning that he waved his hand and said goodbye to Wei Qing and Cao Lu.
After this gathering, Qin Hui probably didn't invite him again because he was worried about the joint letter, Wei Qing and Cao Lu were clean, and they just practiced diligently according to the martial arts book left by Lin Hu every day, and they also felt a little successful after a period of time. After practicing martial arts this day, Cao Lu said to Wei Qing: "Brother Qing, I haven't entered the city for a long time, I practice martial arts every day so that my back and legs hurt, and my head is dizzy, it is better to go into the city today to play and relax", the two have been practicing martial arts very diligently recently, Wei Qing also felt that it was okay to go into the city to play, so he wiped his sweat with Cao Lu and washed up a little, and went to the Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang City.
Wei Qing wanted to light an everlasting lamp for his parents and master to ask for a reincarnation and peace, but after asking about the sesame oil money, he had to give up by touching his own money bag, Cao Lu comforted him: "I don't know if this Xiangguo Temple works or not, I think it is better to burn more paper money on weekdays, as long as the master and your father and mother have money in the underworld, why worry about not being able to make a little ghost errand, find a good family to reincarnate, and why bother to light this expensive lamp." Wei Qing had no choice but to kowtow in front of the Buddha statue to ask for a blessing, but there was an endless stream of people who came to worship the Buddha, and they queued for a long time before finally putting their knees on the futon in front of the Buddha.
Wei Qinggang knelt down with his hands together, and after a person next to him got up after praying, he suddenly greeted: "Hey, it turned out to be Wei and Cao, two sages and Kunzhong." Wei Qing raised his eyes and saw that the man was tall and slender, his sword eyebrows flew obliquely, a pair of dark eyes flowed out of bursts of fine light, and his well-defined facial features were not handsome, but they gave people a feeling of heroism, he was wearing a blue brocade robe, tied his long hair with a turban, and a piece of warm jasper in the middle looked very valuable.
Wei Qing felt that this person seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, the person seemed to be aware of it, and said to himself with a little unhappiness: "In Xia Xiao Qinchuan, I met Brother Wei in the Kuixing Tower before, doesn't Brother Wei remember?" Wei Qing suddenly remembered that when Qin Hui introduced himself in Kuixinglou that day, there was indeed such a person, but there were many people at that time, and he didn't think that he would see these scholars again in the future, because he didn't care about the appearance and name of each person, and he never thought that he would be recognized by the other party in this Xiangguo Temple today. Wei Qing smiled and hidden: "Forget it for a while, Brother Xiao is not strange."
Xiao Qinchuan nodded with a cold face and said: "What's so strange about the friendship of Pingshui, it's not in the way, I'll leave first", after saying that, he got up and wanted to leave, Wei Qing saw that the other party was a little hesitant, and immediately got up and followed, and explained with three points of apology in his tone: "Please forgive the little brother, there were many people at the banquet that day, I really can't remember, but I didn't mean to snub Brother Xiao, and I hope Haihan if I offend."
Although Xiao Qinchuan looked a little arrogant, he was not a person without bearing, and when he saw that Wei Qingyu was apologetic and not fake, he eased his face and said: "That day, I heard that Brother Wei talked about the deeds of the bloody battle with the Jin people in Lu'an, and I admired it very much in my heart, and I only hated that I couldn't be present at that time to stand side by side with Xian Kunzhong. Brother Wei is the master of Lin Helm, who is the master of the Lin helm who has been told the rudder of the righteous gang, is strong in martial arts, and the name of the baguette is Zhen Sanjin, and Brother Wei is the master of the Lin helm, so if it is convenient, please give him advice on the next day, so that he can see the high moves of the next palm.
Wei Qing didn't expect that Xiao Qinchuan, a student who was too learned, would be able to tell Lin Hu's martial arts moves, and there was a sense of challenge in his words, so he immediately hesitated and asked: "Brother Xiao also knows martial arts?
Xiao Qinchuan replied: "It is a family martial arts that has been passed down from generation to generation, but the family strictly hopes that there will be a meritorious child under my knees, because I have been half-literate and half-martial since I was a child, and now although I am studying in Taixue, I have not abandoned my martial arts on weekdays." Wei Qing couldn't help but be very curious when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know where Brother Xiao came from."
Xiao Qinchuan said indifferently: "The family is strict and the name is noble first", Wei Qing suddenly felt inexplicable, he was obviously asking him about the martial arts sect, why did he report his father's name if he had nothing to do, could it be that he couldn't hear it. Cao Lu on the side heard this, but exclaimed: "Could it be Xiao Xiangui, the hero of Guanzhong who shook the West Thief with a fist and sword, and was full of grace and righteousness, Brother Xiao is really the son of Xiao Daxia."
Xiao Qinchuan didn't answer Cao Lu's words, and said: "I am good at martial arts by nature, and I have always been obsessed with dabbling in various martial arts schools, today please use the family tradition of Juzi swordsmanship and Mojia boxing to meet the high moves of the beggar gang for a while, if there is Meng Lang, please don't blame", Wei Qing knew that most of his superficial martial arts would not be the opponent of Xiao Qinchuan, a child of a martial arts family, and he waved his hand again and again and was unwilling to compete, but Cao Lu was eager to try it next to him. Wei Qing stopped Cao Lu and said to Xiao Qinchuan: "Everyone is a good friend, why bother hurting the harmony by swinging a knife and punching as soon as we meet, I don't think there is a need to compete."
Xiao Qinchuan said: "Everyone is a person who practices martial arts, it is common to meet friends with martial arts, we will stop today, Brother Wei doesn't have to worry about hurting the harmony, besides, it is just to open his eyes, I want to see the famous Zhen Sanjin's Broken Ridge Palm Method and Five Elements Stick Method, there is no intention of stealing the teacher, or does Brother Wei think that the cultivation under him is not enough to be the partner of Xian Kunzhong", Wei Qinglian said that he had no such intention, and when he was worried that he could not shirk it, there was a sudden noise behind him, which attracted the three of them to look sideways.
At that time, it happened to be a sunny and breezy afternoon, and I saw a noble boy dressed in a high-quality purple and gold silk robe, carrying a sandalwood birdcage, followed by several family members who led dogs, and held a girl's hand in the main hall of Xiangguo Temple and laughed regardless of his face: "Little lady, come, give the master a smile." The girl was embarrassed and blushed and wanted to withdraw her hand, how could she not have the strength of the other party, a futile struggle provoked the noble son to laugh more proudly, someone next to him suddenly shouted and stopped, a handsome young man in white stood up and said: "In broad daylight, you dare to adjust the ...... in public", before the words fell, the noble son knocked him to the ground with a punch, and then stepped on a footprint on his white clothes and scolded: "Get out, a scholar is a hero, he is handsome." , The handsome young man hid from the crowd and did not dare to come out again, and the noble son looked around proudly for a week, and then hugged the girl in the cheers of the dogs and was ready to leave.
Wei Qing didn't want to rob the people's girls on the street at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the middle of the capital, so he immediately stepped forward and stopped at the door of the hall with righteous indignation and said loudly: "Let go of that girl, otherwise you will definitely look good." The noble prince squinted at Wei Qing and sneered: "Look at your tattered clothes, I'm afraid that you are not a person who asks for food, and you dare to fight with the master for women, hurry up and get out, I am afraid that you will dirty the master's hands", a group of family members also opened their mouths to scold, and made a posture of wanting to beat people.
Wei Qing turned to Cao Lu and Xiao Qinchuan and said, "Let's teach this group of arrogant people a lesson", Cao Lu said loudly, but Xiao Qinchuan chuckled and said with slight disdain: "I just saw the methods of the beggar gang masters, just a few dog legs, and give the two of them a sweep in the back", Wei Qing and Cao Lu felt that it should not be a problem to clean up a few families, and it was inconvenient to be reluctant to see that Xiao Qinchuan was unwilling to make a move. This group of people is good at bullying the good people and the fish and meat neighbors on weekdays, but at this moment, in the face of Wei Qing and Cao Lu, where are they opponents, and they are beaten to the point of running and kneeling for mercy. The noble boy stood in the middle of a group of family members who fell to the ground, and forced himself to pretend to be calm and shouted: "Do you know who the young master is, get out of the way quickly, otherwise you will be made to look good."
Wei Qing smiled and asked, "Then do you know who we are", and the noble prince replied in a daze: "The prince of the young master's mansion for generations, how can you know you lowly ant people." Wei Qing laughed and said: "Since you don't know us, it's the best, look where you come to make us look good", he said that he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to raise his palm, the noble son stretched out his hand to block, Wei Qing's palm suddenly changed midway and printed on the opponent's chest from the side, and the internal force gently spit out the noble son's whining and screamed backwards and flew a few steps away.
Gui Gongzi saw that he was not an opponent today, and with the support of a group of family members, he ignored the ridicule around him, and fled in a low voice. Xiao Qinchuan said to Wei Qing and Cao Lu: "The two Gaoyi junior brothers admire, but I don't know which one is willing to let him learn and learn the tricks", Wei Qing didn't expect Xiao Qinchuan to still remember the matter of martial arts, and suddenly pointed to the insulted girl who was still crying and said: "I think it's better to send this girl home first."
