Chapter 5 The lips come to the tongue
When Mu Chihe stood up to speak, the smile on the prince's face had returned to its original state.
After Hawkeye finished speaking, the prince smiled and said, "I have always been good friends with the three noble envoys in the Central Plains. The three noble envoys came from afar this time, and they were even more distinguished guests. In the matter of friends, I will help myself. The three noble envoys have questions, and this king should know everything and say everything. ”
After the crown prince finished speaking, Iga Bairen bowed again, and then asked, "May I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, is there the whereabouts of my holy sword towards Dongying?"
Before the prince could answer, Jiao Chunxi stood up, bowed to the prince, and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, please forgive Weichen for being rude." The matter of the envoys of Dongying inquiring is related to the case being investigated by Six Doors. Weichen dared to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow Weichen to answer. ”
The prince smiled: "Lord Jiao, only your six doors know this matter best. Lord Jiao, please ask the good students to solve the doubts for the distinguished guests. ”
Jiao Chunxi bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!
After saying that, Jiao Chunxi straightened up, faced Iga Bairen, smiled like a Maitreya Buddha on his face, and said, "Mr. Iga, regarding the matter of your country's holy sword, I can't answer the six doors for the time being. ”
When everyone in the audience heard Jiao Chunxi's answer, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Iga Bairen seemed to have expected Jiao Chunxi to answer like this, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he asked, "Master Jiao, how do you say this?"
Jiao Chunxi said with a smile: "The matter of your country's holy sword being left in my Central Plains is just the words of your family. Whether your country's holy sword has indeed been lost, and whether it has indeed been left in my Central Plains, my six doors still need to be proven. ”
As soon as Jiao Chunxi said this, everyone in the audience immediately looked at each other again. Miss Su's beautiful eyes swept over Jiao Chunxi's body a few times, and it seemed that she had met Jiao Chunxi for the first time.
Iga Bairen said in a deep voice: "When Lord Jiao said this, do you mean that I am making trouble unreasonably?"
The smile on Jiao Chunxi's face became even thicker, and he said, "Mr. Iga is serious. My six doors are ordered by the Holy One to do errands, and I only pay attention to evidence. Until the evidence is known, anything is possible. ”
As soon as Jiao Chunxi said this, several girls from Tianxianglou who were standing in the hall to serve wine to the guests covered their mouths together. Miss Su's phoenix eyes swept away, and several girls hurriedly restrained their smiles and stood solemnly.
Behind Iga Baishinobi, after a few low exchanges, several Dongying ronins pressed their hands on the hilt of their knives, stood up suddenly, and glared at Jiao Chunxi angrily.
Igamoshinobi's face remained the same.
After raising his hand and motioning for several Dongying ronins who stood up behind him to sit down, Iga Bairen asked Jiao Chunxi: "Lord Jiao, before I entered the Central Plains on the orders of my Shogun, I asked the Shogun to send some news back to the merchants. I wonder if Master Jiao can confirm these news. ”
Jiao Chunxi said with a smile: "Mr. Iga, please speak." If this official can confirm it, it will naturally be confirmed by Mr. Iga. ”
Iga Bainin said: "I heard from the shogun that on the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, there are rumors that my pilgrimage sword has fallen into the hands of a swordsman in the Central Plains. Master Jiao, is there any such thing?"
Jiao Chunxi said with a smile: "The news is there. Whether the news is true or not is not known is unknown. ”
Iga Bainin said: "Lord Jiao, the rumored swordsman is named Ah Fei, isn't it?"
Jiao Chunxi said with a smile: "The swordsman mentioned in the rumors is indeed a flying swordsman. But ......"
"Lord Jiao, according to rumors, this flying swordsman not only has my pilgrimage sword, the Northern Dynasty Wolf God, and the Western Regions Bible in his hands, but also the Shaolin Holy Relic Batuo Handbook and the Wudang Relic True Martial Sabre, isn't it?" Iga Bairen interrupted Jiao Chunxi's words and then asked.
When everyone in the audience heard Iga Bainin say this, they looked at each other again, and secretly said that it was not good in their hearts.
"Mr. Iga, the merchants who sent you back the news to the shogun are well informed. Not bad. Rumors do it. Jiao Chunxi still said with a smile.
"Two masters, two Taoist masters, may I ask, have Shaolin and Wudang welcomed back their respective holy relics?" Iga Bairen turned to Master Xinwu and Daoist Chongxiao and asked.
Seeing that Master Xinwu and Daoist Chongxiao nodded, Iga Bairen turned to Jiao Chunxi and asked in a deep voice again: "Master Jiao, since Shaolin and Wudang have welcomed back the rumored holy relics, my pilgrimage sword must also be in the hands of that flying swordsman?"
Jiao Chunxi's smile did not change, and he arched his hand to Master Xinwu and Daoist Chongxiao in the direction where the four of them were, and said, "Shaolin and Wudang, chivalrous and unparalleled. Shaolin and Wudang were able to welcome back the handbook of the Batuo Patriarch and the sword of the Zhenwu Emperor, which was not only the blessing of Shaolin and Wudang, but also the blessing of the Central Plains Wulin. ”
After that, Jiao Chunxifu turned his gaze to Iga Bairen and said, "But it's ......"
"Do you want to say that my pilgrimage sword is not in the hands of the flying swordsman, especially if it is not known?" Iga Bairen interrupted Jiao Chunxi's words again, and said solemnly.
"If Mr. Iga interrupts the official from time to time, the official will not be able to solve the doubts in Mr. Iga's mind. Jiao Chunxi said with a smile.
"Master Jiao, it's me who is rude. Lord Jiao, please speak. Iga Bainin bowed slightly and said.
"Mr. Iga is polite. What this official wants to say is that although the handbook of the Patriarch of Batuo and the sword of the Emperor Zhenwu were returned to Shaolin and Wudang respectively, it is still inconclusive who was in the hands of them before. Jiao Chunxi said with a smile.
"Is Lady Jiao saying that all the rumored news is fake?" asked Iga Baishinobi.
"Whether it is true or not, before seeing the evidence, the official does not dare to assert it. Jiao Chunxi said.
"Lord Jiao, since the sacred relics of Shaolin and Wudang have returned, how can Lord Jiao deny the rumors with a word?" Iga's voice sank again. Behind Iga Baishinobi, the eyes of several ronins bulged again.
"Mr. Iga must not have understood what the official was saying. The official said that the rumors still need to be confirmed. Jiao Chunxi said with a smile.
"Master Jiao, this king has some words, and I also want to ask Lord Jiao. Iga Baishinobu stood up.
Seeing Hawkeye stand up, Iga Bairen glanced at Jiao Chunxi deeply and sat down.
Jiao Chunxi bowed to Hawkeye and arched his hand, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please ask." ”
"Master Jiao, did the rumored flying swordsman appear in the Central Plains a few days ago?" asked Hawkeye.
"Don't hide it from Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have indeed received news from the six gates, and a few days ago, someone suspected of being a flying swordsman appeared. Facing Hawkeye, the smile on Jiao Chunxi's face was no different from that on Iga Baishinobi.
"Master Jiao, the six doors can't confirm this person's identity?" Hawkeye frowned.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, when the flying swordsman walked the rivers and lakes in the past, there were not too many people who really knew his identity. After the flying swordsman retired for many years, even fewer people knew his true identity. Jiao Chunxi said with a smile.
"General Du, this king heard that General Du has met with this person before?" Hawkeye suddenly turned to Du Wenwu and asked.
"Your Royal Highness, Ben will indeed meet this person once. Du Wenwu was watching Jiao Chunxi grinding his teeth with Iga Bairen and Hawkeye successively, and he didn't think that the fire would suddenly burn him, so he quickly stood up and replied with his fists clenched.
"General Du, is this the rumored Flying Swordsman?" asked Hawkeye.
"Your Royal Highness, Ben will be ashamed that he has never met the Flying Swordsman. The person who would have met was also not self-registered. Therefore, whether this person is a flying swordsman or not, Ben will not be able to be sure. Du Wenwu said with a proud face.
"General Du, this king heard that this person injured another swordsman in the Central Plains in front of General Du?" asked with a hint of slyness flashing in Hawkeye's eyes.
Du Wenwu quietly glanced at the prince, and seeing that the prince nodded slightly, Du Wenwu said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, this person has indeed fought with another swordsman. ”
Hawkeye asked, "General Du, where is this swordsman now?"
Du Wenwu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that the swordsman mentioned by Eagle Eye was Ah Fei.
Du Wenwu replied: "Your Royal Highness, I don't know the whereabouts of this person. ”
"Thank you, General Du. Hawkeye arched his hand to Du Wenwu, turned to Jiao Chunxi, and asked, "Does Lord Jiao know the whereabouts of this person?"
Jiao Chunxi's mind turned, and he secretly said "It's going to be bad" in his heart, and he kept a smile on his face, and replied: "Your Royal Highness the prince, this official doesn't know the whereabouts of this person. However, Six Doors is working hard to find the man. ”
"Lord Jiao, this king heard that when this person fought with another swordsman, there were a large number of people from the Six Gates, and even a large number of troops, surrounding these two people. Master Jiao, this person won't be able to break out of the encirclement, right?" asked Hawkeye with a smirk.
"The third prince is not strange. There are other inside stories in this matter. If the third prince is interested, when you and I look for him, I will talk about it in detail for the third prince, how about it?" The tenth prince laughed, stood up, and started a round.
"Your Highness Ten, it's not that this king is unreasonable. In fact, this matter is related to my pilgrimage objects, and it is also related to the prosperity of Buddhism in my Western Regions. The doubts in the heart of this king still need to be solved by Lord Jiao of the Gui Dynasty. Hawkeye bowed slightly to the Ten Princes, refusing to give up at all.
Behind Hawkeye, several monks from the Western Regions stood up again and announced the Buddha's name in unison.
Mu Chihe sat still and looked at Jiao Chunxi with a smile. The smile on Jiao Chunxi's face began to become less natural, but the smile on Mu Chihe's face became thicker and thicker.
"Ahh
Master Shen was so nervous that the clothes on his back were almost soaked with sweat, and he was suddenly startled when he heard his son's loud squirt.
Old Man Shen stood up half of his body and immediately saved it, this was not in his own house, and sat down in a hurry, not even daring to turn his head to look at his son.
Behind Master Shen, Shen Ping'an's face was flushed, he stood up, and bowed to everyone in the field, embarrassed.
Miss Su smiled lightly and walked in front of Shen Ping'an, and said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi hasn't come to Tianxiang for some days. Don't bother, do you?"
While smiling, Miss Su said to a girl with deep dimples on her face next to her, "Shuang'er, why don't you change the things on Shen Gongzi's table?"
After the girl who was called Shuang'er answered crisply, Miss Su clapped her hands lightly, and a woman with a pipa in her arms walked into the hall gently.
