Chapter 52: Birthday Celebration (I)
The meal passed in a misunderstanding, and there was not much conversation, and then Nangong Yunmengyi suddenly thought that there was an urgent matter at home and left Ximen's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Huang Xiaoqiang, Ximen Qing and Ximen Xue didn't understand why Nangong Yunmeng suddenly changed his hexagram, but they didn't ask in detail.
The days returned to normal, Ximen Qing Haosheng dealt with various things in the door, Huang Xiaoqiang concentrated on practicing martial arts, Ximen Xue loved piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and read books at home all day long, and Huashan personally went to visit the places of interest near Xiangyang. Huang Xiaoqiang's team also arrived in Xiangyang under the leadership of Lin Zhan, but their group did not encounter any obstacles along the way, only occasionally encountered a few bandits, and they taught a lesson, so they were delayed for some time. Lin Zhan and Liu Wenying also took it easy for a while, and they also followed a tour in Xiangyang.
In this way, another period of time has passed, and this day is the top priority in Xiangyang, the sixtieth birthday of Nangong Xuan, the head of the Nangong family.
On this day, the whole Xiangyang was very lively, and the name of the Nangong family was well-known in the rivers and lakes. The sect is headed by Shaolin Wudang, and the family is respected by Nangong. The number of heroes and heroes from all walks of life in the Nangong family on this day is thousands. Huang Xiaoqiang belongs to the Huashan faction, so he naturally followed his master and sister to Nangong's house to celebrate Nangong Xuan's birthday. Ximen Qing and Ximen Xue went with the people of Huashan.
The Huashan faction and the Ximen family came early, and it was Nangong Zhao, the boss of the Nangong family, who greeted them at the door. This Nangong Zhao does have some skills, he has never seen Ling Wenlong, but seeing everyone's dress, he hurriedly came over to greet him, "Dare to ask, is Your Excellency the number one sword in today's martial arts - Ling Wenlong, the head of Ling?"
Nangong Zhao's words are really good, Huashan is the third major sect in the world, although Ling Wenlong does not dare to say that his martial arts are the first in the world, but he is also the first in swordsmanship. After all, the Shaolin monks in front of Huashan don't know how to use swords, although the Wudang Liangyi swordsmanship is exquisite, it requires the cooperation of two people to be powerful, and it is not Ling Wenlong's opponent when fighting alone.
The people in the rivers and lakes on the side, when they heard Ling Wenlong's three words, immediately looked at Ling Wenlong's side, and discussed on the side, "This is the head of Huashan, he is really young." I heard that he was already a martial saint more than ten years ago, and I think today's skill is even better than back then. ”
Ling Wenlong returned the salute with a fist, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." It was Ling. ”
"Sure enough, it is the head of Ling, and when I saw honor today, I was really fortunate to have three lives. It seems that this is Mrs. Ling, as well as Huang Xiaoqiang, who is tall in Huashan, Yin Bupo, and Lin Zhan. Nangong Zhao looked at Lan Yue and the Huashan disciples.
Lan Yue, Huang Xiaoqiang and others also returned the salute one by one.
Huang Xiaoqiang looked at Nangong Zhao and thought, "This Nangong Zhao is about thirty years old, and his ability to observe words and emotions is really powerful." However, the news of the Nangong family is too well-informed, could it be that the Nangong family already knows that there is a team of people in Huashan who have suffered heavy losses?"
Nangong Zhao looked at Ximen Qing and Ximen Xue, "Brother and sister of the Ximen family, why did you only come today, my father has been thinking about your two nephews and nieces." I don't know how many times I've told me, Zhao'er, when will Xiaoqing Xiaoxue come to our house? I don't know how to answer, now it's okay, you're here, you have to stay for a few days. ”
Ximen Qing laughed, "Brother Nangong, there's no way, the younger brother is too busy at home for a while, I can't leave, I have long wanted to come to Uncle Nangong, but it's a pity that I can't leave at home, forgive me." Ximen Xue also echoed on the side.
After a few more greetings, Nangong Yu personally led everyone inside. After entering Nangong's house, I found that there were not too many guests coming now. Huang Xiaoqiang listened to Ximen Qing's introduction, most of them were second- and third-rate characters in the rivers and lakes, and the main purpose of coming to Nangong's family to celebrate his birthday was to befriend Nangong's family.
Huang Xiaoqiang took a look around, the interior of this Nangong family was really big. Although the Ximen family is also rich, compared with the Nangong family, the momentum is much smaller. The area of the entire mansion alone is not a grade, and the Nangong Mansion is nearly five times more than five times that of the Ximen family. Looking at Nangong Mansion and the decoration everywhere, although Huang Xiaoqiang didn't understand, it was a kind of domineering spirit that naturally arose. Huang Xiaoqiang thought to himself, "Being so domineering, it can really be regarded as the number one family in the world." However, it is strange that the imperial court can allow such a family to exist. ”
The crowd passed through a large square, which was presumably used to entertain guests, after all, there were hundreds of tables in this square. Everyone passed through the square and came to the main hall, a plaque of "the first in the world" is particularly obvious, these five big characters are made of pure gold, and there is a pure gold seal next to it. It seems that this is a plaque given by the emperor to the Nangong family.
Nangong Zhao walked in front and shouted into the hall, "Dad, Dad, who do you see coming?"
A middle-aged man in a red robe walked out of the hall, and it was Nangong Xuan, the head of the Nangong family. This Nangong Xuan can't tell that he is sixty years old from his appearance, and his hair, eyebrows, and beard are not a few white, compared with this Nangong Zhao, this Nangong Xuan is more like Nangong Zhao's brother. Behind Nangong Xuan was a rugged man, very burly, and the arrogance on his face was always on display. This man was followed by several young men in the same clothes.
"Haha, it turned out that the head of Huashan, the head of Ling, came to congratulate the old man on his birthday, and he missed the welcome, and he hoped that the head of Ling would not be surprised. Nangong Xuan said with a smile.
Huang Xiaoqiang looked at this Nangong Xuan, his voice was sonorous and powerful, his eyes were bright, his breath was calm, and his skills should not be under Master Ling Wenlong.
"Master Nangong, I haven't seen you for many days, but you are still so tough. All of my Huashan faction wishes you happiness such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. Ling Wenlong said, and the other people in Huashan naturally followed the master to say birthday greetings, wishing Nangong Xuanfu to be like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. Ling Wenlong presented gifts, in addition to some common gifts, Ling Wenlong was giving a landscape map drawn by himself.
Nangong Xuan laughed, "I have long known that Master Ling is both civil and military, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
Ximen Qing walked up and also congratulated Nangong Xuan on his birthday, "Uncle Nangong, my little nephew didn't bring any gifts this time, only a folding fan." I also hope that Nangong Xuan will smile. ”
Nangong Xuan took the folding fan, and as soon as he opened it, there was a poem written on the fan, and Nangong Xuan chattered.
"Water Dragon's Song"
The lotus fragrant rain is harvested, and the bamboo wind is cool and clear.
Birthday celebration every year, this year is not compared, perennial time.
The godson reaps merit, the five clouds of the Golden Palace, and the first inheritance of the edict.
Three days early, the longevity is called a thousand years old, and it should be more, such as the public.
Thinking of Shouchun Hall, drinking Xia Zhen, holding the grandson and smiling.
I have seen Errong, and I have seen Sun Gui, Mao Fen Puzhao.
The first returned, the colorful clothes hung green, and the orchid stepped to shine.
In the nine skies, a little light, the birthday star shines brightly.
Nangong Xuan nodded, "Okay, okay, nephew, your literary talent has risen a lot." It's just that your uncle has been thinking about you for many days, and you don't come to your uncle's house to sit down, and you will have to pay a few drinks later. ”
Ximen Qing nodded yes. "Uncle, I want to come too, but you know better than anyone else about my family. So I hope my uncle will forgive me. But later, the nephew naturally has to accompany his uncle to have a few more drinks. ”
"Eh, who is this little brother?" Nangong Xuan saw the Tiangang Sword on Huang Xiaoqiang's back, and felt a little strange in his heart, after all, at that time, the Nangong family returned the Tiangang Sword to Ximen Qing, Nangong Xuan naturally thought that Ximen Qing was going to practice martial arts, but he didn't know that this sword was actually in an outsider.
"The master of Nangong Gate, Huang Xiaoqiang, the second disciple of Xiahua Mountain. Huang Xiaoqiang replied.
"Oh, it turned out to be Huashan Gaozu. Well, not bad. Not bad. Nangong Xuan looked at Huang Xiaoqiang and said in his heart, "It seems that the Ximen family is really preparing to form an alliance with the Huashan faction." "After all, the Huashan faction has lived in Ximen's house for so long, how can Nangong Xuan receive a lot of rumors. Thinking that there have been too many things in the Ximen family during this period of time (Ximen Qing's father and eldest brother died a few years ago), Nangong Xuan naturally did not object to Ximen Qing's friends with too many people in the rivers and lakes.
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to you, this is Yue Haisong of the Kongtong faction, the head of Yue. Head Yue, this is the Ling head of Huashan and the Blue Woman. Nangong Xuan gave them an introduction.
Huang Xiaoqiang heard that the Kongtong faction is famous all over the world for its Seven Wounds Boxing, and looking at Yue Haisong's figure, he is really an expert in external skills.
"It turned out to be the head of Huashan Jade-faced Shenlong Ling, who has been admired for a long time. Although Yue Haisong said so, his domineering appearance remained unchanged. This Yue Haisong has only been in charge for a few years, but he is invincible in Xiliang, and his arrogance is naturally very strong.
Ling Wenlong saw it, but he didn't care about this, although this Yue Haisong was a few years younger than Ling Wenlong, but in terms of generation, this Yue Haisong could only be regarded as his junior, and he had to be the same generation as Huang Xiaoqiang. Ling Wenlong, an elder, naturally didn't care about the juniors. also saluted, "Master Yue, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Yue Haisong laughed, "As early as Liangzhou, I heard that the swordsmanship of the head of Huashan Pai Ling is unparalleled in the world, and Yue is looking forward to it." Today, I happened to be able to meet Master Ling in Nangong Mansion, I think it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and today I also ask Master Ling to teach you a lesson or two. ”
This Yue Haisong is clearly going to challenge Ling Wenlong, Huang Xiaoqiang was displeased, and blocked in front, "I have long heard that the seven wounds of the head of the Kongtong faction Yue are superb. Today's fate has arrived, and I hope that the head of Yue will give you some advice. ”
Yue Haisong had a big temper and said, "Yes." But in his heart, he thought, "Hmph, you junior dare to shout in front of me." I must teach you a lesson, so that Ling Wenlong can fight with me, and let the world know that my Kongtong faction is stronger than the Huashan faction. ”
instantly gathered his qi and punched Huang Xiaoqiang.
