Chapter 125: Entering the Palace
Yuan Li was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Zhang Xiao would not only be fine after being arrested, but also be able to see the emperor, I don't know what happened here, but he wanted to ask more, it was better not to know about things that had nothing to do with him, but seeing the emperor was a very valuable thing, and he had to see it. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Yuan Li hurriedly agreed: "Go, of course I have to go, I have never seen the emperor, but I want to see what kind of person this emperor is, so that he can deal with it in the future." ”
Since Yuan Li also wanted to go, Zhang Xiao decided to set off with Zhang Yao and Yuan Li to Sikong Mansion the next morning, and then let Xia Houen lead the way to see the emperor.
After that, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao continued to go shopping, and Yuan Li knew that Zhang Xiao was safe, so he didn't need to enter Su's house again, so he went back to find his friends.
If you want to go to see the emperor, you naturally have to dress decently, Yuan Li still has a lot of money now, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao bought themselves a good dress, which can make Zhang Xiao happy, and finally have his own beautiful long dress, his childhood dream is realized, Zhang Xiao doesn't care, for him to wear anything the same.
The night passed quickly, and because of his excitement, Zhang Xiao rarely got up earlier than Zhang Yao, and immediately went to ask Zhang Yao to get up, and after washing up, he changed into new clothes, and rushed to Sikong Mansion.
If you want to talk about it early, Yuan Li got up earlier, and when Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao walked to the door of the tea warehouse, Yuan Li was already waiting for them in a carriage.
Zhang Xiao walked up to Yuan Li and said in a novel way: "It's rare to see you take such an initiative, it seems that you are looking forward to it more than us." ”
Yuan Li looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he whispered to Zhang Xiao: "Of course, if I want to restore the country, I will definitely fight with this emperor, so naturally I want to see what he is capable of." ”
Although there were still few pedestrians on the street, Yuan Li didn't want to talk about the restoration of the country here, so he shook his hand at Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jiao and told them to get in the car quickly.
When they came to the gate of Sikong Mansion, the guards directly told Zhang Xiao and others to leave quickly in the carriage, without extra words, it seemed that it was not a familiar face and there was no possibility of entering Sikong Mansion at all.
Zhang Xiao took out the waist card given by Xia Houen and showed it to the guards, the guards carefully checked the waist card, and after making sure that it was correct, the carriage was not allowed to enter the Sikong Mansion, and the three of them had to get off the carriage and ask about Xia Houen's location, and then looked for it.
After the guidance of the soldiers in the house, Zhang Xiao and the three came to a school field, and learned from the guards that Xia Houen would come here every day to practice martial arts, and sure enough, there was not only Xia Houen here, but there were also two other people here.
The three people on the stage were competing with each other, but not one-on-one, but Xia Houen and another person were dealing with the third person, and the third person still had the advantage.
The three of them all used halberds, which made Zhang Xiao a little interested, but he saw that the third person was not panicked at all in the face of Xia Houen's two-sided attack, he was very relaxed, and he danced with a good halberd in one hand, calmly, and with ease, but suppressed Xia Houen and the two.
The three of them fought for dozens of rounds, Xia Houen felt defeated, took the initiative to admit defeat, and said: "Qilin, your halberd technique has improved again, how do you feel that it is getting farther and farther away from you, if it goes on like this, two against one will not work, you have to be three against one." ”
The person known as Qilin patted Xia Houen on the shoulder and said, "That's because you don't have to practice the exercises, if you spend more time practicing and think more, you won't be worse than me." ”
The man who cooperated with Xia Houen also came over and said, "It's so easy to say, if we can also make as much progress as you say, we will already be great generals." ”
When the three of them were still talking and laughing, Xia Houen saw Zhang Xiao and the three of them who were waiting on the side, and immediately ran over and said, "You are already here, why don't you call the soldiers to inform you, otherwise I would have gone to pick you up in person." ”
Zhang Xiao said politely: "What's so embarrassing, you still have to practice, you can't disturb when you practice, when can you take us to see the emperor, you must know that this is to prove your relationship with the Han family." ”
Before Xia Houen could speak, the person who had cooperated with Xia Houen just now came over, untied the cloth in his hand and said, "Ziyun, these are the heroes and knights you are talking about?"
"Yes, that's right. Xia Houen replied, and then said to Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao, "This is my clansman Xiahou Wei, Zi Jiquan, and is Sikong's general. ”
Xia Houwei glanced at Zhang Xiao and the three of them carefully, and said to Xia Houen: "These three friends don't seem to be ordinary people, they should be people with great skills." ”
Xia Houen replied in surprise: "Yes, you think so too, it is true, but they don't want to be with the Han Dynasty, so I have to prove our relationship with the Han Dynasty." ”
At this time, the man with strong martial arts also came over and said, "How big is the ability, how much can you see? The best way to know is to compete." ”
Zhang Xiao understood what he meant, and said: "What I said is, let's try it out, it just so happens that I haven't stretched my skills for a long time, and I just had a good time today." ”
Xia Houen introduced to Zhang Xiao: "He is Xia Houjie, the word Qilin, but he is the most powerful among his peers, you have to be careful, don't underestimate the enemy, even if his father is a little jealous of him." ”
Zhang Xiao is not worried, he has never underestimated the enemy, and his halberd method was learned from Guan Hai, as the first warrior of the Taiping Sect, Guan Hai will not be bad at teaching himself.
Zhang Xiao and Xiahou Jie walked to the school field, ready to fight, so they picked up the halberd and put on a good posture, Zhang Xiao felt the excitement that he had not seen for a long time, he was already very unaccustomed to holding a sword, and then he didn't even have to take a sword, it was really unpleasant, but now it's good, he finally got his favorite halberd, this feeling is self-evident.
Xia Houjie put on a posture, didn't want to make the first move, and said politely to Zhang Xiao: "You are a guest, you can make a move first." ”
Zhang Xiao was also polite, and stabbed the halberd straight at Xiahou Jie, but Zhang Xiao still felt that he hadn't taken the halberd for so long, and he was indeed a little rusty, and he had to warm up.
Xiahou Jie was not worried about Zhang Xiao's conventional moves at all, smiled slightly, easily blocked Zhang Xiao's attack, and instead slashed towards Zhang Xiao, just like this, the two of them went back and forth, and they were very happy, but Zhang Xiao had to admit that Xiahou Jie's martial arts were indeed extraordinary, and in less than a hundred rounds, he gradually felt that he was a little physically exhausted, how strong this Xiahou Jie was.
Zhang Xiao felt that even if he competed with Guan Hai back then, he was not as disadvantaged as he is now, and his skills are deeper now, and he was still pressed so badly, it seems that this Xiahou Jie is more powerful than Guan Hai.
Zhang Xiao didn't want to make himself so faceless, a barb suddenly distanced himself from Xiahou Jie, and conceded: "Brother Qilin's halberd method is really powerful, it is simply invincible, I am willing to bow down." ”
Xia Houjie also said modestly: "Where is this, your halberd should not have been practiced for a long time, it feels a little rusty, but your halberd technique has some characteristics, if you can use it skillfully, who wins and who loses." ”
Xia Houen walked over at this time and said, "But I don't have time to practice with you anymore, we still have important things to do, so you two can practice slowly here." ”
After Xia Houen finished speaking, he led Zhang Xiao and the three of them out, and Xia Houwei immediately stopped: "You can't just leave, if you leave, you will leave me and Qilin, how can I compete with him." ”
Xia Houen didn't care about Xia Houwei, and said with a smile: "I don't care about this, you can do it yourself, anyway, you have many brothers, such as calling a few over." ”
Xia Houen continued to leave here with Zhang Xiao and the others, leaving behind Xia Houwei with a depressed face.
Coming to Xia Houen's official office, Xia Houen said to Zhang Xiao and the others: "In order to enter the palace, I specially asked for a recital that requires the emperor's approval, so that we can have the opportunity to meet the emperor, but your clothes have to be changed, and you have to change into our military uniforms and pretend to be soldiers." ”
I thought I was going to wear gorgeous clothes to enter the palace to face the saint, but I had to change into a military uniform, and this new dress seemed to be bought for nothing, but I had no choice but to change into a military uniform.
Zhang Xiao and Yuan Li are okay, but Zhang Xiao is a little unnatural, no matter how she looks at it in a military uniform, it is not very natural, but fortunately, the hat is big enough to cover part of her face, and she can't see that she is a woman if she is not careful.
