Chapter 156: Yafu Willow
Hou Heng, the former hussar general, before Qi Hao ascended the throne, was his personal guard, liaising with the battalion defense soldiers around the imperial capital, participating in the seizure of the heir at that time, and was one of Qi Hao's henchmen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hou Heng is the queen of the general, and he himself has practiced in the outer gate dojo of the Seven Star Sword Sect for a period of time, and has learned a lot of strategies for using soldiers, but he does not have outstanding qualifications in Taoist practice. Later, it was Feng Huazhen who gave him the advice and let him embark on another path of self-cultivation and strengthening, which also played a very important role in the palace change in the year of Jiazi.
Qi Dezhong knew how it developed later, but it can be judged that Hou Heng's self-cultivation method should have been passed on to his only daughter Hou Yafu, and his daughter was obviously more diligent in her cultivation.
Qi Dezhong raised his eyes and looked, Hou Yafu was standing in a relatively backward position, tall and tall, but now he was entering the palace to choose a concubine, wearing loose and stacked palace clothes, and he couldn't see the actual posture clearly.
Although the name is similar to that of a man, Hou Yafu himself is also outstanding, but his eyebrows are full of heroism, if he is a man with his hair tied and crowned, he is afraid that he is much more handsome than Qi Dezhong.
Hou Yafu was followed by her mother Fang, as a widowed woman, Fang was more martial than Hou Yafu, with overlapping hands pressed in front of her abdomen, thick knuckles, calluses on the tiger's mouth, and a heavy blade wielding all year round.
Since it is the crown prince's choice of concubine, it is not so simple to pass by, Qi Dezhong followed Gonggong Yu into the back hall, according to the arrangement on the name post, you have to see these princesses and daughters one by one, and it is also a kind of understanding of the hundred officials and princes of the current dynasty.
Some of these women are reserved, some are shy, and a few are doing the opposite, seeing Qi Dezhong unrestrained, he specially danced with his eyebrows and showed his unique side.
Originally, Father-in-law Yu should have spoken out, but he was restrained by Qi Dezhong's mana and couldn't speak almost the whole time, and even those noble ladies who had heard about Father-in-law Yu's power were quite puzzled, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care about all this.
Accustomed to seeing such vulgar fans, she finally waited for Hou Yafu and her mother Fang to enter the back hall. Qi Dezhong raised his eyes and looked, looking at Hou Yafu under the palace clothes, his vague steps were fundamental, as if he was not used to this kind of awkwardness, Qi Dezhong couldn't help but snicker, it was very loud in the quiet atmosphere.
"Ahem...... It's the palace that has lost its temper, and I ask the general's wife to forgive me. Qi Dezhong stood up and bowed deeply to Fang Shi and Hou Yafu.
The Fang clan was said to be named the second-rank lady of the command, but the whole court understood that it was best to meet her and shout the general's wife.
Hou Heng died heroically for the Qian, even if Qi Dezhong did not like the emperor of the Qian, but he also had great respect for such heroic and tragic people, and the Fang family and Hou Yafu deserved Qi Dezhong's gift.
Seeing this, the mother and daughter also hurriedly returned the salute, and Qi Dezhong ordered: "Give a seat." ”
The princesses and daughters who had entered the back hall one after another to meet before all stood in front of Qi Dezhong to ask questions, only Hou Yafu's mother and daughter specially gave them a seat, and Father-in-law Yu followed Qi Dezhong to understand in a short period of time, if he didn't move, it was estimated that Qi Dezhong would move the chair himself.
The rules in the imperial capital are cumbersome and strict, although it is called the prince to choose a concubine, but the prince himself will not speak directly, but the female elders who come with the noble girl will speak, introducing how the noble girl is virtuous and virtuous, and so on.
It's just that Hou Yafu, who has practiced martial arts with his parents since he was a child, doesn't seem to have any three or four virtues to talk about, judging from the Hou family style, Hou Yafu is more like a soldier than a delicate girl to be married.
Fang Shi talked for a while, and he knew that he had nothing to say, and the mother and daughter, whose words and deeds were close to those of the army, simply shut up and sat silently on the chair, the atmosphere was very embarrassing.
"Cough!" Qi Dezhong coughed lightly: "Noble daughter of the Hou family, this palace has found that you have a Taoist cultivation in your body, I don't know who the master of the Dharma is?"
Hearing this, Hou Yafu replied: "The three products of the court and the central government are dedicated to Xiao Yuyan. ”
Xiao Yuyan is a female cultivator of the Worship Academy, and she has already cultivated in full form, and she has previously gone south to Huhai Jiangnan with the cultivators of the Worship Academy, and Qi Dezhong doesn't know much about her.
"I see, it can be regarded as a famous teacher and a high apprentice. Qi Dezhong nodded slightly, and then asked: "But in the eyes of this palace, the strength of your muscles and bones is far better than the foundation of mana, is this the self-cultivation method handed down by the Hou family?"
Hou Yafu didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to talk about cultivation in front of him, it was rumored that the new prince was a master of cultivation in the world, and now his situation was broken by a word, it seems that the rumors are true.
It's just that when it comes to the secrets of the family tradition, Hou Yafu didn't rush to show it, but turned his head to look at his mother Fang's family, and saw Fang's slight nod in permission, Hou Yafu said: "Your Highness Mingjian, Hou's family biography "Rushing Body", plus the teaching of the national teacher, my father also taught this method in the army back then. ”
Qi Dezhong was slightly surprised, because when he was still in the Chen Mansion in Changlin County, in order to subdue the ghosts, he took a prescription called "Chongqi Soup".
The prescription of Chongqi Tang is not hidden in the spiritual world, but not many people use it. Because the Qi Soup will stimulate the essence and blood vitality of the human body, those who have not yet formed a sufficient foundation for refining the form have a hot poison when taking it, and those who practice martial arts and even practice it must use strong exercise to dissipate the essence of the hyperyang, so that the user can burst out with a power beyond the current cultivation in a short period of time.
The Chong Qi Tang should be the remnant inheritance left by the ancient soldiers, and from the perspective of Qi Dezhong's current cultivation, the Chong Qi Tang should have a more perfect prescription and method of taking, and it cannot be a strong medicine that is blindly used to stimulate the dissipation of essence, after all, it is not beneficial to the cultivation itself.
Now when I heard Hou Yafu talk about the family heirloom "Rushing Body", Qi Dezhong naturally thought about it, and at the same time had the idea of confirming it: "Hou's noble daughter, can you let go of the vigilance of the form and god and let the palace take the pulse to sense?"
This kind of words made everyone in the back hall feel strange when they heard it. If it is the matter of the crown prince's choice of concubine, Hou Yafu has not yet married into the imperial family after all, even though the atmosphere in the world is gradually changing, but where is there such a thing as casually touching other people's wrists on this occasion?
If it is a fellow practitioner to learn and communicate, it is even more rude to ask the other party to let go of the vigilance of the form and spirit to cut the pulse. In case of a ruthless secret attack at this time, lacking protective guards, it will be directly invaded into the body by the right force, and no matter how strong the muscles and bones are, they will not be able to resist it. Only a very strong trust can make the other party sense themselves, to make it clear, that is, between master and apprentice, Taoist couples will do this.
I don't know if Qi Dezhong didn't have such a scheming, or Hou Yafu was careless and casual, the general's only daughter rolled up her palace powder sleeves, revealing a slightly ridged arm, and handed it to Qi Dezhong with a fist. (To be continued.) )
