Chapter 12 Zhang Chi Youdao (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Wang Wanru burst into tears.
Sima Xuan stood up angrily from the chief and said, "Someone, tie up this rebel for me, pull him down, and send him to the prefect's yamen."
Sima Xiangru was the first to rush out, although he hated Xie Tong, but as the leader of the Praetorian Guards, he had never seen any formation, and he was extremely sensible, he slapped this Sima Jinyu twice, and tied Sima Jinyu down with the two guards.
The hall suddenly fell silent, and the scene was suddenly extremely embarrassing.
Sima Xuan calmed down, raised his glass and walked to the center of the hall, and said loudly, "Lord Wang, Miss Wanru, the old man is not strict in raising children, and gave birth to such evil animals, so that such an insult to the young lady happened, the old man is deeply guilty, and he is willing to toast three cups, hoping that Lord Wang and Miss Wanru will forgive the old man for the crime of lax family education." He just apologized to Wang Daoxun's family, but he didn't mention Xie Tong, making it clear that he hated him and didn't take him seriously.
Wang Daoxun saw Sima Xuan personally toast and apologize, and the anger in his heart calmed down a lot, you must know that Sima Xuan is ranked among the third dukes, with a high and powerful position, and his identity is second only to Huaiwang Li Zhaorun, and he has personally apologized, and he has already given enough face. He hurriedly got up and said, "How dare the lower officials let the adults toast, the prince of Jinyu must have drunk too much and said some nonsense, but the lower officials didn't take it to heart." ”
Sima Xuan did what he said, he picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses suddenly, Wang Daoxun also accompanied three glasses, although the two were in different camps, but they were still very friendly on the surface, Sima Xuan finished toasting and returned to his seat.
Father-in-law Tian carefully watched what was happening in the venue, he stared at Xie Tong for a long time, and said, "Gongzi Xie Tong looks extremely familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it."
Xie Tong was shocked in his heart, he must have leaked some habits, so that Gonggong Tian found a familiar feeling, he said in his heart, grandpa, I also saved your dog's life, I thought that he would reform after returning to Chang'an, but he didn't know that he would change his life, not only continued to confuse the saint and cause chaos to the dynasty, but now he is plotting against him, supporting the clan to turn over and grow, and directly standing on the opposite side of him, Xie Tong can't help but regret saving him in the first place.
Xie Tong said, "The adult should have misunderstood, the villain has been pursuing Lord Wang, and has always stayed in the Luoyang area, this time the villain is still the first time to come to Chang'an, and he can witness the prosperity of Chang'an, which makes the villain feel that this trip is worthwhile." As for what the adults said about stealing the sword in Yangzhou, the villain deeply regretted it."
Xie Tong answered Tian's words very skillfully, he answered decently, so that the other party could not find any fault, as for the theft of the sword, Sima Xuan and others did not dare to ask, they sent people to Yangzhou vigorously, and when they came back, only Sima Xiangru was left, which was really embarrassing.
Sima Xiangru suddenly interjected, "I heard that Huang Chao's general Meng Kai's martial arts have reached the peak, Brother Xie can go to Huang Chao's territory and return unscathed, presumably the martial arts must be very clever, why don't you show you how to show it here, so that everyone can open their eyes." As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately surprised, Meng Kai's name is known to the world, as the Venerable of Yumeng under Huang Chao, he once defeated Song Kui in the first battle of Chengdu and became famous in one battle.
Xie Tong said in his heart, this is the revenge of the Sima family! He smiled and said, "The contemptible martial arts are very shallow, and they have already been embarrassed once since the lantern dinner, so this time it is better to be exempt!" Xie Tong didn't mention the lantern dinner, and as soon as he mentioned the lantern dinner, the entire Sima clan was in an uproar, and Xie Tong was seriously injured at the lantern dinner, and if he slapped the entire Sima family in the face.
Sima Xiangru stood up and said coldly, "Isn't it that Brother Xie is proud of his martial arts and looks down on all the heroes present." His words were extremely damaging, and he directly placed Xie Tong on the opposite side of the entire festival envoy, forcing Xie Tong to play.
Everyone heard the smell of gunpowder, and they didn't know where Xie Tong offended the Sima family, and he provoked the other party to provoke and insult him repeatedly, but the Sima family's stomach was really small, and they actually made trouble on this occasion.
Xie Tong's face did not change and said, "Brother Sima's words are wrong, Xie Tong is not willing to appreciate his face, and he doesn't dare to look down on the heroes, but he is afraid that the heroic hero will hurt Xie Tong, and it will be a big loss!" He said his thoughts very humorously, which caused everyone to laugh, and the embarrassing situation just now no longer existed.
"Since that's the case, then please ask Gongzi Xie to go down!" An old voice came from Sima Jinyu's seat, Xie Tong didn't need to look, just listening to the voice knew that it was Cao Pingyang.
Cao Pingyang slowly walked out from Sima Jinyu's seat and stood in the center of the hall, his steps were light, obviously that finger had little effect on him, and he had recovered his best condition.
Xie Tong was helpless, slowly walked to the center of the hall, standing opposite Cao Pingyang, he looked at the enemy of these several battles, his heart was complicated, to be honest, he was at a disadvantage in several battles, if it wasn't for the nightingale secretly helping each other, the last time it was not for the nightingale to help each other, it would have been a success. What puzzled Xie Tong was that although he used Cao Pingyang once to put him in a crisis, in addition, the two did not have a deep hatred, Cao Pingyang would not chase him hard, and regarded him as a serious thorn in the flesh, and he had a great desire to get rid of him quickly.
Cao Pingyang said coldly, "Nephew Xie Xian, this is the first time you have fought each other?"
Xie Tong smiled, "I'm afraid there have been three or four times! Ha, but Xie has lost and won this time." ”
It seems that the two have a lot of grievances, or it can be said that the Sima family and Wang Daoxun have a lot of grievances. I just don't know what this old man is about.
Cao Pingyang said, "In the previous battles, although the virtuous nephew was defeated, it was not a fiasco, and to the surprise of the old man, the virtuous nephew's skills increased significantly every time. So that the old man does not reassess the strength of the virtuous nephew, I, Cao Pingyang, is still the first time to meet such a young handsome man, and in less than ten years, no one in the world can compete with you."
Everyone was stunned, Cao Pingyang was famous in the rivers and lakes as early as twenty years ago, and he didn't expect to join Sima Xuan's faction, counting Feng Wuhe and others, it seems that the strength of the Sima family should not be underestimated. And Cao Pingyang's evaluation of Xie Tong was so high, everyone couldn't help but look at Xie Tong again, why did this unknown young man become the core figure of the dinner.
Hong Shan heard that Xie Tong's skills had increased, and when he thought of Xie Tong's words to tease him, his cheeks suddenly turned red.
Xie Tong saw Cao Pingyang exalting him like this, obviously he would not show mercy to his subordinates, and said with a smile, "The seniors are modest, it is an indisputable fact that Xie Tong has been defeated several times, and I hope that the seniors will be merciful in this fight."
Cao Pingyang said, "The old man will."
The two stood opposite each other, forming a huge whirlpool with the two of them as the center, and a starvation battle was inevitable.
"Slow", a figure rushed between the two, and everyone exclaimed, who is not afraid of death.
The person who came was the personable horse racing master Huo Zixin.
Cao Pingyang said unhappily, "Who is coming, don't retreat quickly."
Huo Zixin hugged Cao Pingyang and said, "Senior, I, Huo Zixin, want to compete with Brother Xie, and I hope that my predecessor will be perfect."
Xie Tong was surprised in his heart, why did this handsome young man have his eyes on him, and he didn't have anything to do with him in his impression, why did he suddenly challenge him!
Cao Pingyang said disdainfully, "Young people, there are many ways to become famous, and the most direct way is to defeat those masters who have become famous, but you also have to weigh your own catties, don't be too blind for the sake of becoming famous, but the gains outweigh the losses."
In the face of Cao Pingyang's warning, Huo Zixin was unmoved, he glanced at Cao Pingyang lightly, and said, "Thank you for the reminder of the seniors, but the younger generations are not seeking fame and fortune, but they just admire the martial arts masters of the Central Plains, and there are more young heroes, the day before yesterday, I heard that Brother Xie defeated the extremely vicious Feng Wuhe, and I really admired it in my heart, Huo only wants to have a vigorous duel with Brother Xie today, if the junior martial arts are low and the standard is greatly lost, I am willing to cut off my right arm, and ask the seniors to give me a chance."
Cao Pingyang was confused, Huo Zixin's determination moved him, and he said, "Since this is the case, the old man will let this scene, I hope you don't disappoint the old man." ”
Huo Zixin hugged his fists again to express his gratitude.
Xie Tong was at a loss, it was the first time he had encountered a young man who was acting so strangely, and he was indiscriminately hostile to him, and he even challenged him. However, he was secretly happy in his heart, it was really a headache to fight against a martial arts master like Cao Pingyang, and after the first few fights, Cao Pingyang would definitely not show mercy. On the other hand, Huo Zixin, young and young, no matter how good his martial arts are, he will not reach the level of Cao Pingyang, but he still has his own plans, if he pretends to be punched and slapped by him and pretends to be injured in failure, then the plan to assassinate the Taiwei can be ruined, but I am afraid that Huo Zixin's martial arts will not be good. Yes, he was in a happy mood, but on the surface he had to pretend to be very unhappy.
Huaiwang Li Zhaorun saw that the masters took turns to challenge Xie Tong, and he was unhappy in his heart, if Xie Tong was injured, his plan would not be in the aura, whether Xie Tong's assassination of the Taiwei was successful or not, it had nothing to do with him, because Xie Tong was Wang Daoxun's person, even if the saint blamed him, he would not blame him. He hurriedly said, "Today is a festive day, the competition is just to please everyone, this king does not want to see the picture of injuries and bleeding, do you understand?" He was still speaking at the dinner for the first time, and what he said was very reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Xie Tong looked at Huo Zixin, this was the second time he had seen this young handsome man, to be honest, Huo Zixin's handsome and chic horse skills left a very deep impression on him, such a young talent should be very hearty and generous, how could he do such a ridiculous thing, this made him feel very puzzled. However, although he made up his mind to fail, he could not fail too ugly. You have to have both.
Xie Tong took a deep breath and said, "Brother Huo's horse skills are very outstanding, which makes Xie Tong admire, I don't know if Brother Huo's kung fu is as amazing, if it is just a lip service, then it is laughing and generous, and it is not worth cutting off one's arm." He deliberately used words to stimulate Huo Zixin, so as to force him to go all out.
