Chapter 171: Meeting on a Narrow Road

Luo Sigong was in a good mood, and at noon, he invited the children to eat roast duck on the street, and then rushed to the Tongtong Pavilion where the Mongolian envoy temporarily lived. He will confirm the details of tomorrow's departure with Ben Tu and others, and agree with Gao Jie that he will go to his mansion in the evening to explain to everyone the plan to go north this time.

After Gao Jie and the other five broke up with Luo Yangxing, they were about to go home, but they met Wei Liangqing's brothers and sisters who had just returned from Guozijian on the street.

Wei Liangqing hadn't seen Gao Jie and them for several days, but now when he saw them, he stepped forward and hugged Gao Jie's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Xiaojie, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss my brother!"

Gao Jie was happy in his heart, but he said: "Brother Wei, it seems that you haven't seen you for a few days, you look like this, others see it, and they think that we are doing it!"

Wei Liangqing asked, "What does it mean to engage in base?"

Ji Longfeng said with a smile on the side: "Engaging in Ji is Xiaojie's hometown dialect, which means that you have a habit of breaking sleeves!"

Wei Liangyue, who was also very happy, blushed when she heard this, and said softly: "It's not serious!"

Wei Liangqing didn't care, he still hugged Gao Jie's shoulders tightly, and said proudly: "It doesn't matter if he's short-sleeved or jiji, anyway, I'm happy to see you!"

Thinking that he was going to leave tomorrow, Gao Jie was also quite reluctant to give up on Wei Liangqing's brothers and sisters, so he was not in a hurry to go home, so he let him hold him, and everyone was chatting while wandering on the street.

Hearing that Gao Jie and the others were going to leave the capital tomorrow and go on a business trip, Wei Liangqing's brothers and sisters were very surprised, and hurriedly asked if there was anything urgent, but Gao Jie was inconvenient to say, so he had to make up a reason. Wei Liangqing, who was originally full of interest, suddenly became a little gloomy, and only after a while did he propose: "I didn't expect to be separated so soon, and I don't know when we will see each other again, alas! Why don't you go to my farm once today, I still want to taste those rare dishes you made again!"

Gao Jie saw that it was still early, and at the same time wanted to get together with the Wei brothers and sisters when they were separated, so he nodded and agreed. So, a group of seven people went home to lead the horses first, and then drove out of the city to the outskirts of Beijing.

Who knew that not long after leaving the city, Gao Jie and the others were stopped by more than a dozen people.

Liu Xuanze, Ye Guyan and others went to a large hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing early this morning to hunt, and after lunch at noon, they were ready to rush back to the capital. The wooden bridge is not wide, it can only be used for two horses in parallel, and the two sides can be staggered, but Liu Xuan and others don't know why, today they are bold, and they are stunned to block the entire wooden bridge.

Wei Liangqing had a hot temper, and immediately shouted: "What are you turtle grandsons doing?

Liu Xuan snorted coldly: "So what?"

Wei Liangqing rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's not good, Lao Tzu beckons you with his fists!"

"Wei Dazhuang, do you want to fight? This son will accompany you!" A young man dressed in white who had not yet reached the bridge on the shore shouted coldly, it was none other than Zhao Yilang, one of the "double pride of the capital" who was as famous as Sun Qianguang.

Although Wei Liangqing knew that he was not Zhao Yilang's opponent, he shouted impulsively: "If you are afraid of anything, you will fight!"

Most of these young people present are the children of high-ranking officials, and they have an unwritten rule that when juniors fight, no matter whether they win or lose, they will never go to their parents and grandparents to sue for support, and they will completely solve it by themselves.

Wei Liangqing has been in the capital for more than a year, because the Wei family is not a family member, but an upstart who rose because the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian was favored, and he is a rough man who has never read any books, so Liu Xuan looks down on Wei Liangqing at all, and there has been a lot of friction between the two sides because of this, and it is not the first time that he has started to fight. If he just singled out Liu Xuanze, Ye Guyan and other guys who couldn't do anything, Wei Liangqing would naturally have no problem, but once someone like Zhao Yilang joined in with real skills, the victory or defeat would fall to Liu Xuanze's side.

However, with Gao Jie and others present today, Wei Liangqing was not worried, so he was ready to let it go.

Gao Jie is now the loyal and brave marquis of Qinfeng, and his status is the highest among all people, and in terms of background and backstage, who can compare to him in the background! Therefore, he has no objection to establishing a prestige before leaving Beijing, lest these people find trouble with Wei Liangqing again after he leaves, so he pulled Wei Liangqing behind him, stepped forward and said: "If we want to fight, we will accompany us, even if the activity is active! However, the rules must be set first, whether it is to fight alone or in a group!"

Seeing that Gao Ming was outstanding, Liu Xuan and the others were stunned, and most of them showed hesitation. Of course, they know that if they remove their identity and background, purely on martial arts, even Zhao Yilang is not Gao Jie's opponent, not to mention that Ji Longfeng, who showed his strong martial arts in the competition with the Mongols at that time, is also eager to try, if it is a group fight, although there are many people on his side, I am afraid that he will definitely lose ugly.

Liu Xuan was shrewd, and immediately hugged his fist at Gao Jie and said: "Zhongyong Hou, we have a personal grudge with Wei Dazhuang and the Xiong family, and it has nothing to do with you!

Gao Jie hugged his fists and smiled: "Liu Gongzi is really alive, he excluded me in one sentence!"

Liu Xuan was told by Gao Jie, his face was slightly red, and he smiled dryly: "What I said is the truth, you are now a person with a knighthood, how dare I offend the white body?!"

Gao Jie nodded and said: "Liu Gongzi's words, I can't refute them, I can't follow them! Let's go head-to-head, we don't want to delay time, it's better to fight three games, the side that loses two games must respectfully give way to the other party, and also line up to applaud and say goodbye, how about it?"

Liu Xuan asked, "You and that Brother Ji don't play?!"

Gao Jie nodded and said, "Of course, you put such a high hat on me, how can I be embarrassed to reach out and hit the smiling person?!"

Liu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Okay! According to the rules of Zhongyonghou, two wins in three games!

Gao Jie agreed without hesitation: "It's decided! You guys hurry up and discuss the candidates, we have to rush to Hi Pi! None of the people will retreat from the wooden bridge, and the competition will be carried out on this bridge!"

Liu Xuan agreed, beckoned his people to get off the bridge, and began to discuss on the other side of the stream.

When Gao Jie came back, Wei Liangyue grabbed his arm and said hurriedly: "Xiaojie, you are crazy! With my brother's three-legged cat's kung fu, and this young master who is a mother-in-law, it's strange that he can win!"

Wei Liangqing's black face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Sister, although my martial arts are not as good as yours, it is more than enough to deal with the characters of Liu Xuanze and Ye Guyan!"

Wei Liangyue glanced at him and said, "Then the other party has to really send them to fight you! There are more than a dozen people over there, and maybe there are opponents with good martial arts hidden over there, what should I do when the time comes?!"

Wei Liangqing was speechless for a moment.

Gao Jie gently patted Wei Liangyue's soft hair at this time, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyue, can you let go first, my arm is about to be pinched and swollen by you!"

Wei Liangyue realized that she was too nervous, and she kept grabbing Gao Jie's arm, her pretty face was slightly red, and she hurriedly let go: "What Xiaoyue girl, call sister!"

Gao Jie smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, Sister Xiaoyue, you have to believe in my brother's vision, we will win this battle!"

Wei Liangyue didn't know where Gao Jie's confidence came from, he had long forgotten about the problems of his sisters and sisters, and looked at him with doubts in his eyes.

Gao Jie didn't care about her, and pulled Wei Liangqing, Xiong Zhaoqi and Wukong to the side and whispered.

On the other side of the stream, Liu Xuan and his partners were discussing while watching Gao Jie's movements, and when he saw that he had pulled Wei Liangqing, Xiong Zhaoqi and Wukong together, his heart suddenly relaxed. The strength of Wei Liangqing and Xiong Zhaoqi, they have long been clear, it is a sure thing to win these two people, and the only variable is the yellow-haired child. In the bowing competition, Wukong once appeared on the field, and he was quite good at it immediately, but it does not mean that his martial arts are powerful, not to mention that in their minds, Wukong's amazing performance in the bowing competition, the "black horse" under him is the biggest hero!

So, not long after, Liu Xuanze's candidates had also been decided, and the candidates for the battle were Zhao Yilang, Ye Guyan and Wang Shaoxiong, the son of Wang Wenyan, the secretary of the cabinet.

The secretary of the cabinet is equivalent to the post of director of the General Office of the State Council of China in later generations, and Wang Wenyan's ability to hold this position has also shocked the government and the opposition, and even the Donglin Party is quite controversial. There is only one reason, this Wang Wenyan did not have an official position before, he was just an "official", not an official, to be more precise, he was just a prison guard before.

The official establishment of the Ming Dynasty is very small, the official is equivalent to the current civil servants, according to the regulations, there are only a few officials in a county town who eat the emperor's grain and get official salaries, if only rely on these few people to manage the affairs of a county, I am afraid that each official will not be able to do it after a few times of exhaustion, so a special group of people came into being, that is, the so-called "officials". Officials do not belong to the state civil servants, have no official positions, do not have a regular establishment, and their salaries are settled by the local governments themselves, and the things they are responsible for are to help the officials run errands. If you look down on these officials because of their low status, it would be a big mistake. The officials in many places in the Ming Dynasty were very powerful, so powerful that even the county magistrates and the officials sent by the imperial court did not take them. Because the county magistrate and other officials were all sent by their superiors, they had no foundation in the local area, and they had no team. And these officials are all local snakes, familiar with business, good at corruption and bribery, forming parties for personal gain, black eating black, yang and yin violations, and so on.

The energy and influence of a capable official are amazing, and the most famous representative in historical fiction is the famous timely rain Song Jiang in "Water Margin". Song Jiang was originally the director of Yuncheng County, just a small official, but he was famous all over the world, and all the heroes of the world were proud of getting acquainted with Song Jiang, and in the end he became the head of one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshanbo! What did he rely on, he relied on righteousness and wealth to gain a good reputation, and made countless heroes in the rivers and lakes as friends, relying on the kung fu of "mixing". Where did a small official get so much money to "fight for righteousness and squandering money"? Hehe, it was all obtained by shady deeds.

It's just that Song Jiang's reputation as an official has risen because of a "Water Margin", in fact, when it comes to the kung fu of "mixing" and its influence in history, Song Jiang is far worse than Wang Wenyan!

Wei Zhongxian is now in the position of the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and he is deeply favored by today's saints, just because he is illiterate and born in a peasant household, he will not be treated by the self-proclaimed Donglin Party, and Wang Wenyan, with the humble status of an official, can be accepted by the Donglin Party, a party with real power that regards itself as a scholar and a scholar, and mixes up in it, with an extraordinary status, and his prestige is close to that of the first assistant Liu Yijing, Ye Xianggao and Yang Lian, the "cannon barrel", which shows what a powerful role this Wang Wenyan is.

And Wang Shaoxiong is Wang Wenyan's second son, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, among these gentlemen, he is very popular, bold, quite fatherly, and he was born at the bottom, he learned a lot of methods of fighting in the market early, and his body was also exercised quite strong and durable. In the past few years, as his father's identity has become a regular and gradually ascended to a high position, with more and more resources in his hands, Wang Shaoxiong has been able to worship several masters with good martial arts and truly step into the path of martial arts. Among these gentlemen, except for Zhao Yilang, his skills can be said to be the best. Therefore, Liu Xuan sent him to deal with Wei Liangqing, and winning was not a problem.

Although Ye Guyan's martial arts skills are average, his fat body has an advantage in this narrow wooden bridge, and he should be able to deal with the cowardly and timid Xiong Zhaoqi.

These two games are very sure in Liu Xuanze's heart, so the strongest Zhao Yilang against the yellow-haired child Wukong who doesn't know the details, even if there is an accident, it does not prevent them from winning this battle for face with a two-win advantage.
