Chapter 31: Sauvignon Blanc
Jing Xining used the "cloud pushing hand", overcoming rigidity with softness, the body shuttled flexibly around Zhu Zhen, the two palms walked on the steel knife, like clouds and mist, ever-changing, so that Zhu Zhen was unpredictable, spent most of his strength, the hand-held steel knife was panting, just wanted to rest, Jing Xining suddenly exerted force, and attacked him head-on, a move is fast and light, but can pull out a thousand catties in four or two, Zhu Zhen can't resist, Jing Xining kicked him several times, Zhu Zhen raised the knife with both hands, blocked in front, and even the person with the knife was kicked to the ground.

Seeing that Zhu Zhen was knocked to the ground and seriously injured, Qin Cheng hurriedly climbed out of the corner where the Buddha statue was sitting, and shouted loudly: "Don't fight, don't fight." The voice was drowned out in the chaotic crowd, so he had to crawl towards Zhu Zhen with his head covered with both hands. Zhu Zhen was kicked by Jing Xining, and he had no power to fight back, glaring at Jing Xining viciously but could not do anything, Shen Hong saw this, and yelled loudly, and everyone stopped.
After this fight, Zhu Zhen knew that he was not Jing Xining's opponent, and said helplessly: "I admit defeat, since it is now in your hands, if you want to kill it, you will have to deal with it, I, Zhu Zhen, have nothing to say." ”
Jing Xining saw that although Zhu Zhen was hateful, he was quite backbone, "For the sake of you and Brother Xiao's affection, I will spare you for the time being, I don't want to embarrass you, it can be regarded as returning him a favor, but you must promise that you will never go against the Qingque Gang in the future, are you willing?"
Qin Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and kept pulling Zhu Zhen, "Altar master, hurry up and agree, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood!" Zhu Zhen thought for a moment, knowing that he had no choice, although he was unwilling, he was helpless, so he had to nod and respond.
Jing Xining has always hoped to stop the dispute, unify the world, stop fighting for martial arts, and recuperate with the people, so whenever he faces the enemy, he strives to surrender without a fight, seeing Zhu Zhen nodded in agreement, although he has hatred in his heart, he is willing to abandon his previous suspicions and release himself from him, and more importantly, he has a gap with the Qingfeng Sect, if he kills Zhu Zhen, he will inevitably form a new enmity with the Qingfeng Sect, so he no longer makes it difficult for him, and called Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin to leave the broken temple together. Zhao Kuangyin passed in front of Qin Cheng, glared at him fiercely, clenched his fists and made a look of beating him, so frightened that Qin Cheng looked pitiful with his head in his hands, and he was afraid.
On the way back to the Qingque Gang, Zhao Kuangyin felt very guilty in his heart, "Today I almost got the two brothers involved for no reason, and I blamed me for being careless and falling for the thieves' tricks." ”
Jing Xining comforted: "The third brother doesn't have to blame himself, this matter has nothing to do with you, they are coming for the entire Qingque Gang, you are just acting as their bait, besides, the three of us brothers have already married Jin Lan and made a vow to live and die together, how can they stand idly by, don't say such things in the future." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "The lesson of the eldest brother is that he will never say it again in the future." Chai Rong said: "Tonight, the three of us brothers must have a good drink to celebrate this time." The three of them laughed all the way, leaving the matter behind.
Back to the Qingque Gang, the three of them moved out of the wine jar to talk about wine, talk and laugh, and drink wildly, Zhao Kuangyin on a whim, but also danced with a stick, Chai Rong was deeply infected, and sang to the wine, and recited the song of Han Gaozu loudly: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet..." The three of them drank until late at night, Jing Xining was overwhelmed with alcohol, just drank a few glasses, a gust of cold wind hit, looking up at the bright moon, absent-minded, thousands of thoughts, and unconsciously appeared in the mind The appearance of the bright moon ballad, cheeks were even more blushing, where the love came, the heart yearned for it, thought of it, and couldn't help but chant softly: "Dreaming of lovesickness, drunk and seeing light clothes; ”
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly saw Jing Xining staring at the night sky alone, but his mind didn't know where to fly, his heart was strange, he walked over and shook his hand in front of him, Jing Xining looked at him with his senses, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Let me ask you, brother, why do you look absent-minded?"
Jing Xining said: "No, it's just that I drank a little too much tonight, and my head was dizzy." ”
Zhao Kuangyin looked at Jing Xining with a smile, "Come less, we know that you are not strong enough to drink and don't like to drink, so we didn't let you drink much at all, let me guess, are you thinking about which girl?"
When Jing Xining heard this, her cheeks flushed with shame, and Zhao Kuangyin said, "Is it Miss Shu?"
At this time, Chai Rong also came up, "What Miss Shu, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Kuangyin gestured: "This Shu girl once lived and died with her eldest brother, morning and twilight, deep affection, I will tell you in detail when I have the opportunity." ”
Chai Rong said: "Yes? Good thing, where is this Shu girl? I really want to see which girl can make the eldest brother tempted." ”
Jing Xining listened to what Zhao Kuangyin said Shu Lianyi, and calmed down a little, but still covered it up: "Brother Rong, don't listen to Kuangyin's nonsense." ”
Zhao Kuangyin still didn't give up, "Then why do you say you are in a daze?"
Jing Xining bowed his head and was silent for a moment, "I may have to go on a long trip." ”
"Where are you going?" Zhao Kuangyin was even more strange.
Jing Xining said: "Xiao Yun is trapped in the Xingyue Slow Palace, I want to go on a trip, he was kind to me when he was in Guyun Mountain, I owe him a favor, this time I should pay him back." It turned out that Jing Xining had been worried about it when he heard Zhu Zhen mention it in the broken temple, and he suddenly thought that Mingyue had failed to regain the fragrant amber from Meng Siyou's hands in Guyun Mountain, and he would also go to the Xingyue Slow Palace, thinking that he might be able to meet her, although it was late at night, it was more dewy, but his heart was as warm as spring.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "If he hadn't lured you to Guyun Mountain, you wouldn't have been in danger at all, so you don't owe him at all." ”
Jing Xining said: "This can't be completely blamed on him, as a cold moon envoy, everything is just acting on orders, and in the end, being able to take the risk of saving Miss Shu behind Shi Wuyan's back is enough to prove that he has a chivalrous heart." ”
Chai Rong said: "Since it is the benefactor of the eldest brother, it is the benefactor of me and the third brother, we will accompany you to help you rescue him and return this favor, and the two will not owe each other from now on." ”
Zhao Kuangyin also shouted: "Yes, I will go with my second brother." ”
Jing Xining smiled with relief, "Now that the Qingque Gang has just grown, many things are inseparable from the two of you, and it is difficult to guarantee that Qin Cheng and Zhu Zhen will not make a comeback and make waves, I can go alone, don't you still believe me?"
Chai Rong said: "But I heard that the Xingyue Slow Palace rarely gets involved in martial arts, and what is even more strange is that men are not allowed to set foot in it, and so far few people on the rivers and lakes have seen their palace masters, and the eldest brother is in danger alone, and the third brother and I are really at ease." ”
Jing Xining pretended to be relaxed to dispel the two of them's concerns, "Okay, don't worry, I can even get out of the Longtan Tiger's Den like Guyun Mountain, which is terrifying to people in the rivers and lakes, is it possible that a Xingyue Slow Palace can still trap me?" I will be careful, you don't have to worry." Jing Xining smiled and patted Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder.
Chai Rong knew that although Jing Xining was strong in martial arts, very accessible, and cautious and thoughtful, he was still a little uneasy, but he had already made up his mind, so it was not good to say, "When is the eldest brother going to leave?"
Jing Xining looked up at the bright moon above her head again, "Just these two or three days."
And just the night before, Shu Xin, the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival in Bianzhou, was pacing back and forth in the study, recalling the scene where the emperor summoned him in Daning Palace today. The person sitting in the hall is the new emperor Shi Chonggui, who has just ascended the throne, Shi Chonggui saw Shu Xin come in, personally greeted him, took Shu Xin's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Lord Shu is here, come and give a seat." ”
Shu Xin was respectful, and only sat down after thanking him, and seeing that Shi Chonggui didn't speak, he asked, "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned Weichen into the palace?"
Shi Chonggui looked full of concern, and said with a long sigh: "I have not been on the throne for a long time, but the world is not peaceful, the north is Qu Khitan, the south is bordered by other countries, and what is worse is that the internal riots in my Jin Kingdom are continuous, and the mobs in some places even rushed into the government to kill the county prefect, which is simply a great crime, and even more, some Jianghu forces are also involved, and secretly collude with them, if they are allowed to develop again, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Shu Xin said: "Whether it is the people in the market or the gangs in the rivers and lakes, but the rabble, why should the emperor worry." ”
Shi Chonggui said: "General Shu's words are wrong, I think that when the Great Qin swept the six countries, the people who died in Qin were the people of the Han Dynasty Gaozu Liu Bang, Wang Mang usurped the Khan and established a new dynasty, and it was the green forest and red eyebrows that defeated him, and the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill.
Shu Xin said: "In this case, the emperor can order a general to send troops to suppress it, why are you so worried?"
Shi Chonggui said: "I think so too, but looking at my dynasty, who else can take on this heavy responsibility except General Shu?"
Shu Xin got up and bowed after hearing this: "Thanks to the emperor's attention, Weichen is willing to take the order to share the emperor's worries." ”
Shi Chonggui helped Shu Xin with both hands: "Aiqing really lives up to my expectations, but you are my key to the north gate, if you leave, what if the Khitan goes south?"
Shu Xin puffed up his chest and replied very confidently: "With the Xuanwu army, you can protect the emperor without worry." ”
Shi Chonggui said: "Of course I believe in the Xuanwu Army, but the Xuanwu Army has always been controlled by General Shu, if General Shu leaves, the dragons will be leaderless for a while, it will inevitably cause panic, and the army cannot be without generals, or first hand over the Xuanwu Army to Du Chongwei for moderation, and then hand it over to you after General Shu completely sweeps away the internal troubles?"
Shu Xin was shocked when he heard this, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and then he completely understood that Shi Chonggui wanted to calm the internal troubles is false, and it is true to accept his military power, and with the current situation, uprisings in various places have risen one after another, and it is almost impossible to completely quell the troubles, Shi Chonggui not only wants to seize his military power, but also completely drive him out of the court, his intentions are deep, and the means are ruthless, so that his back is cold, and he secretly sighs that once the son of heaven and a courtier, the world is hot and cold, but he has just said it, and he can't take it back, so he has to reply with a hard head: "Everything must obey the emperor's holy orders." ”
Shi Chonggui said: "General Shu is worthy of being the pillar of the imperial court and understands the righteousness, but Chen Chongbing is needed in the north to prevent the Khitan from going south, and the Tang, Chu, Wuyue, Shu and other countries in the south harass and plunders from time to time, and the court is really unable to send soldiers to suppress the mob." Shi Chonggui put on a look of helplessness and anxiety, and Shu Xin was even more confused, and asked, "What does the emperor mean?"
Shi Chonggui said: "Since these Jianghu forces can help the chaotic people against the imperial court, and of course they can also help the imperial court against the chaotic people, I just want to send you to recruit more Jianghu forces for the use of the imperial court this time, and help the imperial court suppress the mob and those Jianghu forces who secretly interact with the mob or even openly help the mob, they grow up in the local area, they are familiar with each other, and it is easier to deal with them,"
When Shu Xin heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, his heart almost collapsed, Shi Chonggui not only wanted to take away his military power, but also wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf, although this Daning Palace was calm as usual, but he felt the depression he had never felt before, and said forcibly: "But the emperor, Weichen has been fighting abroad all these years, and he knows very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid..."
Shi Chonggui waved his hand and said: "Aiqing is too modest, you are the heir of the Flame Knife, how can the affairs of the rivers and lakes escape your eyes?"
