Chapter 28: Wei Lai

Early in the morning of the second day, Yue Buqun took Situ Xuan and Linghu to the ready-to-wear store to make a new robe, after all, it was to meet the princes of one party, provincial and ministerial-level officials, and they couldn't be too shabby and fell into the face of the Huashan faction. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then he chose two pieces of fine Jiang Zheng Xuanyu ink and prepared to give them to the political envoy as a meeting gift. The other party only invited Yue Buqun's master and apprentice, so Li Buyi did not plan to accompany him.

After lunch, everyone chatted for a while in Mingyue Tower, Gao Shiqi came with a carriage to greet him, and after the ceremony, Yue Buqun rode a horse, Situ Xuan and Linghu Chong took the car and rushed directly to the Buzheng Yamen.

Ling Hu Chong sat in the carriage for the first time, touched around and said, "Senior brother, this carriage is really gorgeous, and it is very comfortable to sit on." ”

Situ Xuan said with a smile: "This car also looks good, there is no comfort at all, there is not even a shock absorption system, and the load capacity is also poor, and it is not a bump in the bluestone road in the city, and you can be upside down if you walk five or six miles out of the city." In the future, our Huashan faction industry will prosper, I will find someone to repair the straight road, all for him to build a gravel road, and then design a four-wheeled carriage with a large load capacity and shock absorption, running on the road like flying, transporting people and goods, and relying on the income of transportation and logistics alone, it is enough to feed thousands of disciples. ”

Ling Hu Chong looked at his senior brother with a little admiration, although he couldn't understand what Situ Xuan was saying at all, but he did have a feeling of not being aware of it. Of course, this is also to make Hu Chong young and inexperienced, and he was fooled by Situ Xuan.

Let's not talk about the huge cost of building roads, just say that this matter has always been the government's head, and ordinary squires repairing a bridge is considered a merit, but rebuilding the Guanzhong Straight Road is a provincial-level highway, and your Huashan faction jumped out to do things instead of the government, and you can't rebel?

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at the Buzheng Yamen, because it had been greeted in advance, and the carriage entered the backyard directly through the side door. After entering, the servants led the horses away, and Situ Xuan and the others also jumped out of the carriage and followed behind Yue Buqun.

Gao Shiqi led the way, and after three turns and two turns, he arrived at a quiet courtyard, and the word 'Yongyuan' was written on the moon gate. There are two housekeepers at the door, looking at the complexion and figure, they may only be able to handle the crops with both hands, and they are not people in the martial arts.

The yard is not large, but the vegetation is lush and the flowers and trees are planted in a patchwork, and even the midsummer afternoon is not hot. Gao Shiqi nodded to the family, and led Yue Buqun and the three into the garden, and when he turned a corner, he saw two children looking at Yue Buqun, Situ Xuan, and Ling Huchong with curious expressions. These two children, a boy and a girl, are not dressed luxuriously, but they are also neat and neat, they are both eleven or twelve years old, similar to Situ Xuan's age.

Gao Shiqi saw that the two children's faces were dark, and it was not easy to attack in front of Yue Buqun, so he just hastily introduced: "This is the legend of the dog Gao, and I have learned a few hands and three-legged cat kung fu with him." The other little girl simply ignored it.

Yue Buqun only thought that this little girl was a young boy's playmate or Gao Shiqi's nephew, so he didn't care, but Situ Xuan wondered in his heart, if the little girl didn't have any status, how could she appear in the courtyard of the Buzheng Yamen, if she had status, why not introduce it. Jianghu people are not strict about etiquette, and it is not strange to casually introduce the girl and niece.

Gao Shiqi said to Yue Buqun: "Yue Daxia, the adults are already waiting in the study, please come with me." ”

Yue Buqun nodded, ordered the two to wait in the courtyard, and instructed Situ Xuan to look at Linghu Chong and ask him not to cause trouble, Situ Xuan naturally nodded yes.

Gao Shiqi said to his son again: "This is Yue Buqun Yue Daxia of the Huashan Sect, these two are Yue Daxia's high feet, Situ Shaoxia and Linghu Shaoxia. Legend, you will be close to the two little heroes for a while, and you also know that 'there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world'. Yan Biyue Buqun and Gao Shiqi turned around again and bent directly into the house.

Waiting for the elders to leave, Gao Legend spoke first: "Come with me, you two, it's more spacious over there, there is a pavilion and an open space." After speaking, he led the way with the little girl. Situ Xuan and Ling Hu Chong glanced at each other and followed behind the two.

Several teenagers entered the pavilion and sat down separately, and Gao Legend motioned for the melons and fruits on the table to be eaten at will. Situ Xuan saw that this young man was a bit of a master, and knew that Gao Shiqi had a close relationship with the Bayu faction and the political envoy.

The girl was slim, wearing an emerald green pleated skirt that looked even more pretty on her body, her facial features were delicate, and a pair of talking eyes looked at Situ Xuan and Ling Huchong curiously. The girl is tall, and Situ Xuan is already tall among his peers, but he is not much taller than the girl. The girl opened her mouth and said, "One of you is surnamed Situ and the other is surnamed Linghu, how can they all have compound surnames." ”

Situ Xuan said with a smile: "Under Situ Xuan, this is my junior brother Ling Hu Chong." The martial arts of the Jianghu people with compound surnames are more powerful, such as the surname Murong in the previous dynasty, the surname Dugu, and the surname Xianyu are all heroes in the rivers and lakes. ”

The girl's eyes lit up and she asked, "Really, there is still such a statement? Brother Gao didn't tell me this." ”

Situ Xuan and Gao Legend glanced at each other, laughed twice, and Situ Xuan said: "Of course it's fake, martial arts are all practiced by individuals, it doesn't matter what the surname is, the two of us are just in a hurry." After hearing this, the girl arched her nose and glanced at Situ Xuan, which was very cute.

Gao Legend said with a straight face: "I have been learning swords with my father since I was a child, and the other brothers are more than ten years older than me, and I can't find a peer to compete." I'm ashamed to say that I haven't learned swordsmanship seriously with anyone, my father used to feed me tricks, and this time I met Brother Situ and Brother Linghu It's really good, and I will definitely have two moves with the two brothers in a while. I'm a sword addict, I really want to have a try, and I definitely don't mean to provoke. ”

Ling Hu Chong was overjoyed after hearing this, and looked sideways at Situ Xuan, waiting for Situ Xuan to come up with an idea. Situ Xuan saw the sincerity of what this kid said, so he nodded to Ling Hu Chong and said: "Then let's talk about it, don't hide it from Brother Gao, my junior brother can also find someone to compete with the sword, chase me all day long on Huashan and pester me to compete with the sword, and Brother Gao can have a happy fight with him in a while." However, our martial arts are not high, so it is best to use wooden weapons to make moves, so as not to accidentally injure each other if you can't control the fire. Gao Shiqi nodded in agreement.

The girl asked Situ Xuan, "You let your junior brother play, why don't you compete yourself?"

Ling Hu Chong said: "My senior brother plays elementary school swords, his talent is good, and he also killed a first-class master in the spring, and he has not yet entered the Huashan faction at that time." So if you want to fight, I will come first, if Brother Gao is too much better than me, it will be Senior Brother's turn. Then he asked Gao Legend with some eagerness: "Do you have a wooden sword in your hand?"

Gao Legend nodded and said, "Naturally, there is, I'll go get it." After saying that, he ran out to get his sword.

The girl asked Situ Xuan a little strangely: "You learned martial arts before you joined the Huashan faction, so isn't that a martial arts apprentice?" Your original swordsmanship is powerful, or the swordsmanship of the Huashan faction is powerful." ”

Situ Xuan said with a smile: "Huashan swordsmanship is broad and profound, I have only learned a little bit now, I am afraid that I still use more of the previous kung fu when I really fight, but with the deepening of the comprehension and mastery of Huashan swordsmanship, it will slowly change." ”

The girl asked again: "It is said that the Huashan faction is powerful, what are the Huashan swordsmanship, and what do you think is the most powerful swordsmanship?"

Situ Xuan said: "There are too many swordsmanship in Huashan, in addition to the introductory swordsmanship, each disciple must also learn the 'Xiyi Swordsmanship' and 'Yangwu Swordsmanship', and when these swordsmanship must be learned, they can also learn other swordsmanship according to their own preferences and talents, such as the 'Qingfeng Thirteen Swords', 'Juhe Swordsmanship', 'Wuyun Swordsmanship', 'Chaoyang Yiqi Swordsmanship', and 'Huifeng Willow Leaf Swords'." There are also many exclusive swordsmanship for female disciples, such as 'Jade Girl Sword Nineteen Styles', 'Lady Sword' and so on. These centuries-old swordsmanship can be directed at the way of the sword, as long as you are proficient in one, you can make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes, occupy a place, if you innovate in these swordsmanship, create a unique move that suits you, and even enter the realm of the grandmaster. ”

The girl listened in a daze, and looked at Situ Xuan with big eyes blinking, after all, she was only a 'lover of rivers and lakes', and what Situ Xuan said was too deep for her to comprehend.

At this time, Gao Legend retrieved three wooden swords, one was handed to Situ Xuan, and was placed on the stone table by Situ Xuan, and one was handed to Ling Hu Chong, who grabbed the wooden sword and jumped outside the pavilion. The two are far away from each other, but they have two momentum.

Ling Hu Chong clenched his fists and said: "Brother Gao, please, let's meet friends with martial arts, whether we win or lose." ”

Gao Legend smiled: "It's good to say, Brother Linghu won't keep his hand for a while, let's have a good fight." After speaking, the two of them each held a wooden sword, and the ping-pong battle was in one place.

The internal strength of the two is even second-rate, although the swordsmanship is neat, there is no novelty and sharpness, and the overall level is not even as good as the previous Situ Xuan and the bear child Zhang Ran. Situ Xuan stopped paying attention after seeing three or five moves, if he was out of the competition, these two boys might not be able to block even a single move under the full attack.

Turning his head to look at the girl in the green dress, he saw the girl's small fists clenched, watching the two compete intently. Situ Xuan smiled slightly and said, "What, do you like to watch others do tricks?"

The girl was reluctant to speak, nodded and did not answer.

Situ Xuan asked again: "You haven't learned martial arts, so you can only watch others do it?"

The girl glanced at Situ Xuan, but still didn't speak, but obviously Situ Xuan was right.

Situ Xuan said to himself: "Well, yes, you are a young lady from a political envoy's family, how can you learn these things of fighting and killing." Isn't it, Miss Wei?"

The girl snorted, turned her head in surprise, and looked at Situ Xuan with big eyes without blinking, with an expression of 'what you said is not bad at all'.

Situ Xuan deceived the girl's identity and confirmed the guess in his heart, so he stopped talking, but let the girl have no intention of looking at the sword competition, and pondered Situ Xuan over and over again.

Linghu Chong learned the sword in the end, and at the beginning the two sides tested each other, and Linghu Chong could still fight back and forth with the basic swordsmanship, but under the fierce attack of Gao Legend all the way, Linghu Chong began to be clumsy, and he would use the 'Xiyi Sword Technique' to fight, and then he had to use the 'Yangwu Sword' to defend.

But he didn't learn these two sets of swordsmanship, and Ling Hu Chong soon fell into an absolute disadvantage, and after two more moves, he was afraid that he would have to abandon the sword and surrender. Ling Hu Chong had to use Yue Buqun's peerless 'Taiyue Sanqing Peak', the wooden sword stabbed out with a touch, a pick, and a stroke, three moves and a sword were as tight as a sword, all staring at the opponent's defensive blind corner attack, Gao Legend had to put away the sword and retreat, so that Ling Hu Chong finally moved back to some situations.

Situ Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Senior brother, you haven't learned any other swordsmanship, so use the basic swordsmanship to fight first." Ling Hu Chong knew in his heart when he heard this, and he was concentrating on using the basic swordsmanship at the moment, although the situation was still not good-looking, and he stabilized his position in the end.

The girl then asked in a low voice, "Why do you have white hair? Are you born or are you practicing martial arts?"

Situ Xuan smiled: "No, I just think that people with white hair are more powerful, so I picked white peach blossoms and pear blossoms to juice and bleached and dyed." How's that, isn't it very mastery? ”

The girl glanced at Situ Xuan, pouted and said, "If you don't tell the truth, you will deceive people." ”

Situ Xuan snorted and said, "How could I lie to you, if you take some morning glory or peony flowers, squeeze the juice and extract the liquid, you can also dye your hair purple or red, and you will be even more beautiful at that time." ”

The girl didn't speak for a long time, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "Is it really possible?" ”

Situ Xuan sneered, gave her a 'I'm lying to you' look, grinded her teeth girlishly, and wanted to kick Situ Xuan a few times to relieve her anger. Situ Xuan asked in a low voice, "I don't know what your name is?"

The girl glanced at Situ Xuan and said, "I won't tell you about this bad guy." ”

At this time, Linghu Chong was gradually forced into a corner, and finally fell into a comprehensive disadvantage, and abandoning the sword and admitting defeat was just around the corner.

Situ Xuan raised his voice and said: "Admit defeat, junior brother, Brother Gao has practiced swords since he was a child, and he has a family history, so it is normal for you to not be his opponent." ”

Ling Hu Chong didn't give up when he heard this, and still continued to play the sword, but Gao Legend gradually understood Ling Hu Chong's sword path, and even if he used the 'Taiyue Sanqing Peak' again, he didn't get back into the situation, and was finally picked up by Gao Legend and lost the competition.

Situ Xuan came to Ling Hu Chong's side and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, junior brother don't be discouraged, keep this competition in mind, and review the drills one by one after you go back, find out the shortcomings of your swordsmanship, and improve your swordsmanship in a targeted manner." In the future, I will practice swordsmanship and then find Brother Gao to learn from him. Linghu Chong was big in the end, nodded and had no frustration on his face.

Gao Legend said to Situ Xuan: "I sincerely ask Brother Situ for advice, and I hope that Brother Situ will not hesitate to give advice." ”

Situ Xuan said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Gao, be careful, please make a move." After speaking, he took the wooden sword in Linghu Chong's hand, grabbed it with his left hand and pressed it on his waist. Ling Hu Chong hurriedly retreated, looking at Situ Xuan with excitement, wanting to see how high his senior brother's martial arts were.

Gao Legend snorted lightly and stabbed at Situ Xuan with a sword, and then the swordsmanship did not stop, and one sword followed one sword after another. Situ Xuan's footsteps were staggered, and he dodged the three swords in two steps.

When he saw Gao Legend flying and chasing after him, Situ Xuan's body retreated, completely avoiding the enveloping range of the opponent's wooden sword, and flew forward with the long sword when Gao Legend's old power had passed away and the new force was not born.

This stunned everyone present, the little girl of the political envoy even covered her mouth and whispered, Gao Legend was also caught off guard, for fear that Situ Xuan would hit the tip of the sword himself, so he hurriedly changed his move, and the wooden sword turned and stabbed at Situ Xuan's right rib.

When Situ Xuan flew forward, his right hand was already on the hilt of the wooden sword. The left hand was released at the right time, and the right hand was drawn and stabbed, which was the 'Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet' of the 'Chaoyang One Qi Sword'. Situ Xuan's sword move was fast, lightly touching Gao Legend's wrist, and then the tip of the sword borrowed his strength to pick it up, and it crossed an arc and landed on the opponent's neck, and the sword spine was wiped over, and at the same time sideways dodged the opponent's wooden sword, and rushed out two steps to look back at the stunned Gao Legend.

Ling Hu Chong's loud cheers woke up Gao Legend, Gao Legend looked at his wrist blankly, reached out and touched his neck, and asked Situ Xuan, "I'm defeated?"

Situ Xuan smiled and said, "Don't you understand? Then come again." ”

Gao Legend thought about it, he really didn't know which move he lost, he only felt that he had lost too quickly, and he was inexplicably defeated, gritted his teeth and said, "Come again!"

After that, without waiting for Gao Legend to react, Situ Xuan had already stepped in front of Gao Legend, and each time he pulled out a wooden sword from his waist and stabbed Gao Legend's shoulders and knees respectively.

Gao Legend retreated and swung his sword to resist, but no matter whether he retreated in a big step or a small step, Situ Xuan could always take a step of the corresponding size and maintain the most suitable sword distance between the two sides.

Situ Xuan took out twelve swords in a row, stabbing three times in the left and right shoulders and left and right knees, although Gao Legend swung the wooden sword with all his might, but he was indeed stabbed twelve times by Situ Xuan's wooden sword, and finally Gao Legend was already in a trance, not knowing how he should make a move and how to defend.

Situ Xuan put away his sword and stood up, and smiled at Gao Legend: "With the first sword, I have a total of thirteen swords, you go back and think about the differences between these thirteen moves." The distance between you and me, the position of your wooden sword, the position of my wooden sword, and the timing of the sword, the angle of the sword. When you think about it, you can improve your swordsmanship, repair the loopholes and the bad habits of your own sword, and when you think you can block these thirteen swords, come to Huashan to find me, and we will fight again. ”

Gao Legend was silent at first, and then his eyes gradually brightened, obviously understanding Situ Xuan's guidance to him, bowed deeply to Situ Xuan, and said: "More Situ brothers, fighting with Situ brothers for thirteen moves, it is better than my father feeding me one hundred and one thousand moves, I will definitely go back and think about it and practice my sword hard." It's just too shocking, obviously Brother Situ is not much older than me, but his martial arts surpass me so much, which almost made me want to give up learning swords. ”

Situ Xuan laughed and said: "Brother Gao said before that he was 'obsessed with swords', if he can't accept such a setback, he really doesn't need to learn any swordsmanship, let's learn embroidery from Miss Wei." ”

The daughter of the political envoy snorted 'bad guy', obviously becoming more and more dissatisfied with Situ Xuan.

Seeing Gao Shiqi sending Yue Buqun out from afar, Situ Xuan beckoned to Linghu Chong, and said to Gao Legend: "My master has come out, we should also say goodbye, if Brother Gao is free in the future, you might as well come to Huashan to play, my junior brother and I will take you to visit Huashan, and you can also learn swordsmanship." Looking at the girl in the green dress, Situ Xuan said to her: "Of course, if you can also come, we will definitely fulfill the friendship of the landlord and let you have fun." ”

The girl snorted a little delicately, and saw Situ Xuan and Ling Hu Chong clasping their fists and turning around to leave, the girl said: "Situ Xuan, you remember, my name is Wei Lai, and when the time comes, I really go to Huashan, you must treat me well." ”

Situ Xuan turned around and said with a smile: "Good name, don't worry, if you do what you say, you will be satisfied." After speaking, he strode away with Linghu Chong, and after meeting Yue Buqun, he left the Buzheng Yamen. Yue Buqun rode a horse, Situ Xuan and Ling Hu Chong sat in the car, and the three of them returned to Mingyue Tower in a short time.

Situ Xuan saw that Yue Buqun looked good, and couldn't help asking, "Master, what have you talked about with that political envoy, how do you feel about that adult?"

Yue Buqun said: "This Buzheng Lord is not an ordinary person, sometimes the truth of being a man and practicing the sword is the same, we practice the sword and pay attention to the sword without regrets, the sword heart is round, although this Buzheng Lord is not proficient in martial arts, but the mood is open-minded, a heart is worried about the country and the people, for the country and the people, the conspiracy is easy in his hands, all means, all schemes will not affect his own path and concept. These people are officials such as Guan Yiwu and Zhuge Wuhou, and Xi Wu is also a peerless master such as Guo Jing and Zhang Sanfeng. Although there was no mention of martial arts in the chat, I benefited a lot from the bypass. ”
