When he woke up the next day, after Luo Tianchu finished freshening up, he heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was a Khitan man in his forties, with wrinkles on his earthy yellow face, dressed like a servant, but with a black belt around his waist, he looked like a steward. The man said in Chinese: "In Xia Yeluzhi, please go to the front hall to talk to the prince." Luo Tianchu said, "What about the others?" Ye Luzhi said: "They are still freshening up, and they will be there later." There's something I want to ask the hero below. Luo Tianchu said: "Please speak." Yeluzhi said with a little sadness: "Yeluhong and under the worship of brothers, last night heard the bad news of the brother was sad, I don't know where the prince buried him, and it will be good to worship in the future." Luo Tianchu said: "Brother Hong is buried near sixty miles in the north, and he left in a hurry without marking, you have to look for it." Yelu Zhi said: "Thank you for your announcement, please here." Luo Tianchu asked him as he walked, "What errand are you doing in the palace?" Ye Luzhi said: "I was originally the deputy head of the palace, and today I was appointed as the head of the palace. Luo Tianchu said: "Congratulations on Brother Tai's promotion." Ye Luzhi smiled bitterly: "I would rather let my eldest brother come back alive, I blame those damn horse thieves, but fortunately, you have avenged your eldest brother." ”

They waited downstairs for a while, and the others followed. Yelu Zhi said: "Isn't it five, why is there one missing?" Luo Tianchu knew that he was talking about Li Xiao, and explained: "My friend is the most idle, and he went out early in the morning. Ye Luzhi let out an "oh" and said, "I see, is the owner of Xiao Zhuang resting?" He knew that Liu Shaoqing was their owner, and his attitude was more respectful. Liu Shaoqing nodded and said, "Very good, thank you for your hospitality." ”

At that moment, Yeluzhi led them to the hall, and Yeluying, who was dressed in a brocade robe, was already waiting in the hall, and when he saw everyone bowing and leaving their seats, he put one palm to his chest to show respect, and said in fluent Chinese: "I was in a hurry last night, and I couldn't consult your great names, which is really disrespectful. Luo Tianchu and others hugged their fists and returned the salute, and after reporting the pseudonym, the guests sat down, and several handsome maids served fragrant tea and snacks, Luo Tianchu found that there were still two people present, one was Yeluqi, her hair combed butterfly-shaped double-ring hairpin, the double ring was inserted with a golden hairpin, leaving a four-pointed forehead, a red ribbon hanging behind her head, wearing a purple left-hand collared robe, a jade belt around her waist, and red phoenix boots on her feet. Sitting at the bottom was a Khitan warrior, of medium age, wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a cloth robe, with an open neckline and a hairy chest, and a black sheath saber tied around his waist, his figure was extremely burly, and he was stronger than Zhao Hengshan. Yeluying introduced: "Little girl Yeluqi, you have all seen it. This is the head of the martial arts sect of the house, Shi Mo Guchuan, because everyone is a person who practices martial arts, so he invited the head of Shi Mo to come to accompany him. Liu Shaoqing faced Shimo Guchuan and said, "Long admiration." Shima Furukawa glanced at him, the corners of his mouth crooked, and snorted lightly.

Yeluying saw it in his eyes, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he changed the topic and said: "You are chivalrous and righteous, saving the little girl from fire and water, the old man is grateful, and he still smiles at the mere courtesy." As soon as he finished speaking, a maid stepped out from behind the screen of a stone peacock, and on the mahogany tray in her hand were ten gold ingots, which were a hundred taels. Liu Shaoqing sat still and said: "Saving people is within my generation, the prince doesn't have to be polite, we must not accept it." Yelu Ying smiled and said: "You are really chivalrous, the old man admires." To tell the truth, the old man actually has something else to ask for. Liu Shaoqing said: "Lord Wang, please speak." Yelu won and said: "The old man is not virtuous, he has no children in his life, and there is only a little girl under his knees, which is regarded as a pearl in his palm." The little girl doesn't love female red, she only loves swords, guns and horses, which is no different from men. In order for her to learn martial arts, the house has invited a number of martial artists, and I don't see any progress in skills, the little girl said that last night's battle between the five of you was against three hundred horse thieves, and I admired you very much, so the old man dared to ask you to teach the little girl a move and a half, and after the matter was completed, there was another thanks, I don't know what to do?"

Liu Shaoqing said: "We are here to purchase medicinal materials in your place, but we are afraid that we will not have the time to teach martial arts." Yeluying smiled and said: "This is easy to do, please make a list of the medicinal materials you want to buy, and the old man will help you do it." There are still two months before the opening of the medicine market, during which you can live here and teach martial arts?" Liu Shaoqing said quietly: "Your mansion already has the head of the Shimo Sect in charge, and I don't dare to wait for the class to get an axe." Yelu Ying said with a smile: "The head of the Shimo Sect is proficient in the sumo art of my Khitan, and he does not know the martial arts of the Central Plains. The old man knows that the martial arts of the Central Plains are broad and profound, and he hopes that the owner will not refuse. Liu Shaoqing was in a dilemma for a while, and when he was thinking of a reason to resign, he suddenly heard someone outside the door: "Owner, since the prince is so enthusiastic, I don't think there is any need to refuse." ”

The person who came was Li Xiao, and after entering the hall, he saluted Yelu's father and daughter. Liu Shaoqing thought that he would not be untargeted, and there must be a reason for him. Yeluying said: "What this little brother said is that this king will entertain you as a guest, and he will never slack off, please think twice." Liu Shaoqing found that Luo Tianchu was nodding slightly to himself, so he said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate and bother the prince." Yelu was overjoyed and said: "Don't bother, don't bother, thank you for appreciating the light." Liu Shaoqing said: "The martial arts we learn are different, and the martial arts are not much more expensive, and the time is limited, so it is best to let the county lord learn the art with only one person." Yeluqi nodded and said, "Reasonable, Qi'er, which hero do you want to teach you?" Yeluqi's gaze swept around, and finally stopped at Luo Tianchu: "Learn from him." Liu Shaoqing smiled and said: "Li Xiuwen's swordsmanship is very good, the county lord will not be disappointed." Luo Tianchu had no choice but to get up and said: "Thank you for the trust of the county lord, I don't dare to give advice, I just want to learn with the county lord." Yeluying stroked his hands and laughed, "Okay, good." ”

At this moment, Shimo Guchuan suddenly said in Jurchen language: "Wait!" Yeluying frowned, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "What else does Shimo Guchuan have a high opinion?" Shimo Guchuan stood up and said loudly: "There are a lot of liars in the Central Plains, these people will only come to cheat and eat and drink, don't be gullible." Zhao Hengshan asked Luo Tianchu in a low voice: "What did that guy say?" Luo Tianchu whispered: "He said that we are liars and have no real skills." Zhao Hengshan sighed this time and asked, "Do you want to let the Sprinkle family teach him to be a good man?" Luo Tianchu shook his head and said: "We are guests, let's see what the host means first." ”

Before Yelu Ying could speak, Ye Luqi, who was drinking tea, also said in Jurchen language: "The lord of this county saw them beating the three hundred horse thieves with his own eyes, doesn't the head of the Shi Mo sect believe it?" Shi Mo Guchuan hurriedly put one hand to his chest, and said: "Don't dare, the horse thieves are just a rabble, these Han people win by luck, and they may not really have any skills." Ye Luqi said lightly: "That's it, it's better for you to compete with Li Xiuwen, if he loses, the county lord won't need him to teach, how?" Shi Mo Guchuan glanced at Luo Tianchu, who was much thinner than himself, and said with a smile: "It's so good, I don't know if he dares to fight." Yeluqi turned his head and asked Luo Tianchu: "Do you dare to compete with him, those who dare not fight in our Khitan are cowards, and the lord of this county will not worship a coward as a teacher." ”

Luo Tianchu smiled bitterly, he really didn't want to be familiar with Shi Mo Guchuan, but he didn't want to bear the name of "coward", he sighed at the moment, and asked: "Young Zhuang Master, should your subordinates fight?" Liu Shaoqing said lightly: "Shi Mo Sect Head wants to test your martial arts, so you can learn it with an open mind." (To be continued.) )
