Chapter 23: The Choice
Zhong Yunlang's thoughts were surging at the moment, and the two thoughts in his heart couldn't help fighting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"For so many years, I have been diligent, conscientious, thoughtful and meticulous, and have never made any mistakes, which is praised by the people of Hejian. The prefect also valued me a lot, but somehow, I didn't get promoted for many years. Could it be that what I have done is too upright and that I have inadvertently offended some powerful people in the DPRK and China? It is hopeless to be transferred to Gyeonggi as the head of the army, and it is impossible to transfer to join the army. What is the meaning of guarding the false name of 'the first god of the Great Song Dynasty' and being the head catcher in this small place? Now, the prince values it, and he can jump on the branch and become a phoenix. Although the process of promotion is not glorious, it is not bad for the sake of officials, as long as I do everything fair and upright in the future. ā
Then he thought again: "The white-haired woman said that the prince is not a good person, which is quite reasonable. Although I don't know who he is, I don't usually hear about his fame and bad deeds. But after getting along with each other in the past few days, I feel more and more that he is ambitious, and even a little ruthless. It is not wise for me to be so devoted to him. What I usually hate the most is the party struggle in the imperial court, but now that I have a thought, won't I fall into it?
The wind and snow outside the building were endless, Zhong Yunlang thought silently, and his body was hot and cold.
Mu Wang Ye didn't bother silently, and let him meditate.
After waiting for a while, Zhong Yunlang bowed slightly, bowed to the prince, and arched his hand: "Humble duty...... Willing to serve the prince. As soon as the word 'service' came out, Zhong Yunlang couldn't help but tremble, and he actually agreed.
Mu Wang Ye smiled and nodded, very pleased: "Okay, with your help, things are much easier." I have an important task for you right now. You have a lot of connections and knowledge, so it should be easier to get things done. ā
Zhong Yunlang's eyes were blank, looking at the snow: "Lord Wang...... The prince has something, although he commands. ā
Mu Wangye put his hands behind his waist and said slowly: "I want you to find out the whereabouts of the package for me." Well, there are some details that should be said with you knowing. Inside this package is a Xuantie guqin, which hides a major secret. Do you know the Yi Long diagram?"
Mu Wangye has always been unsuspicious in employing people, and since Zhong Yunlang had promised to be loyal, he informed him of this Yi Longtu. Zhong Yunlang didn't expect it, and hurriedly said: "I don't know about my humble position." ā
Mu Wang Ye nodded: "You are still young, no wonder you don't know." This Yilong diagram was written by Chen Tuan ancestor in the past, and was later handed over to Zhao ...... It was handed over to the hands of Emperor Taizu of our dynasty and stored in the Hanyuan Palace. After being lost, I didn't know where to go for more than ten years. After a pause, he said: "It is said that this is a strange book, the art of martial arts and war is all-inclusive, in the past, Emperor Taizu was fortunate to get this book, so he relied on it to lay down the country." ā
Zhong Yunlang didn't know about this section, and was about to ask carefully, but when he saw the light in Mu Wangye's eyes and the greed on his face, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. I didn't want to listen to him in detail, so I just said: "I will go and investigate." ā
Mu Wangye was also tired at this time, and yawned: "It's late at night, and you have been tossing for a day, so you won't go tonight." Rest well and go back tomorrow. Zhong Yunlang responded: "Yes!"
Mu Wang Ye nodded and said, "Go ahead." ā
Zhong Yunlang bowed goodbye to the prince, turned around and left, and ran downstairs in a few steps.
Zhong Yunlang was uneasy, got out of the Star Picking Tower, and walked in the Wangcheng Temple. The snow in the temple has reached several inches, Zhong Yunlang does not use light work, his feet are stepping on the snow, and he is popping.
"What is the difference between me and Yang Yuankai when I do this? Prince Mu is obsessed with the struggle for fame, fortune and power, and now that I am involved in it, won't I fall into the prestige of my master during his lifetime? Could it be that I, Zhong Yunlang, am actually a villain who can give up his principles in order to achieve his goal?" Zhong Yunlang's thoughts were like a tide at this time, and wave after wave came, which was better than when Fang had just picked up the stars and hesitated.
The more Zhong Yunlang thought about it, the more upset he became, so he simply closed his eyes, lay back, and fell into the snow. The snow was cold, but it couldn't extinguish Zhong Yunlang's hot heart. Zhong Yunlang opened his eyes suddenly, and a 'carp beating up' jumped up on the spot, and practiced the 'Storm Palm' in the snow.
"I have been learning this trick for a long time, and the master didn't scold me for being stupid at that time, but just explained the essence of this trick to me repeatedly. The big waves wash away, remove the impurities, wash the sand and stones, wave after wave and baptism again and again, what is left is the essence; this trick is not called this name, I can't remember what it was originally called, this name was changed by the master. He said that turbidity is sewage, and clear is clean water, and this trick is to remove sewage and let the clean water float up, which means 'showing good and paralyzing evil'. ā
The scenes when I followed the master to learn art came to my mind.
"This trick of 'not panicking' is exactly the meaning of calm and calm, emphasizing the heart like water. The key is to work with 'light', 'slow', 'flat' and 'soft'. Zhong Yunlang 'drank' and waved out a palm, and a pine tree two steps away from him shook violently, and a pine branch broke in response. After the 12-style 'Storm Palm' was played, the snow was full of messy footprints.
Zhong Yunlang sighed, walked over and picked up the broken pine branch, the edge of the broken branch was extremely uneven, and even a little broken and sharp. Zhong Yunlang laughed at himself: "Impetuous and impetuous skills......
At this time, he heard a childish voice behind him chuckle and said, "Zhong Ye is so powerful kung fu, what kind of palm technique is this?
Zhong Yunlang looked back, this person was still young and petite, and he was actually the little maid Ah Zi in Yanxiamen.
Zhong Yun Langqi said: "Why are you? What are you doing in Wangchengguan?"
Ah Zi walked quickly to the front and said, "Naturally, my young lady sent me." She didn't wait for Zhong Yunlang to speak, and then said, "You haven't told me what kind of palm technique this is, why is it so powerful?"
Zhong Yunlang replied casually: "This is called 'Storm Palm', nothing powerful...... This wind and snow are so heavy, where do you and your young lady live?"
Seeing that he answered perfunctorily, Ah Zi didn't reply to his question, but said, "You teach me this set of palm techniques, and I'll tell you where we live?"
This 'Storm Palm' and 'Light Smoke Step' are both Mu Lao Hero's single-pass stunts, and he still doesn't teach the Five Tigers of the River, Zhong Yunlang, how can he teach this little girl. Zhong Yunlang waved his robe: "If you don't say it, don't say it, I don't know where you live?" turned around and went back to the south courtyard wing.
Seeing that Zhong Yunlang turned around to leave, Ah Zi was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Hey, don't go." Suddenly it occurred to me: "Miss often teaches me to be polite and speak appropriately, and it is possible that I have said something wrong and made him angry." Hurriedly changed his words and said: "Master Zhong stays, my young lady sincerely invites, you can go with me." ā
Zhong Yunlang wasn't angry, but he thought that this little girl was too long-winded, so he turned around and left. Sure enough, just as she was about to leave, the little maid got to the point. Zhong Yunlang heard her say that Miss invited, and her heart was unconsciously happy.
But he was upset at this time, and he couldn't help but think: "It's not right for me to join the prince." If I have anything to do with this 'cult' woman again, wouldn't I ...... Hey, I'm really embarrassed. Thinking about it like this, I didn't want to ignore Ah Zi anymore, but for some reason, my whole mind hung on the 'young lady' and I couldn't get it back.
