Chapter 17: Flesh and Blood Are Not Intimate [4]
Xiang Xingying tossed to the point now, knowing that he had reached the end of the mountain, and thought that his grandmother was a martial arts celebrity, and his grandfather's status could not be ignored. Although the current situation is unknown, it is very dangerous, and the other party may kill at any time.
If we tell the truth now, there is at least half a probability of survival, and the other party is an enemy or a friend and foe, and it is possible that the other party is an accomplice of grandparents, and it is better to have half hope than no hope, and Xiang Xingying has no choice but to move his grandmother out to bluff the other party, and make a bet. Hence the words:
"Senior, have you heard of Mo Evil Master's old senior?"
"Joke, anyone who has practiced kung fu on the rivers and lakes who doesn't know the name of Master Mo Xie...... However, just with a few of you messy things, you dare to joke with Mo Xie Laoni, that's not a little impatient!"
In order to get out safely, Xiang Xingying had to add half of the truth to the lie to gamble at this time, so he confessed:
"I'm calling my seniors a joke today, don't hide it from my seniors, in fact, I'm the eldest grandson of Master Mo. ”
"You're Xiang Xingying?"
"How do you know my name?" asked Xiang Xingying, rather surprised.
The Flying Witch had already heard the news from her subordinates that the skeleton had returned to Xiang Xingying to the Central Plains to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and she saw that except for the difference between his clothes and Zhong Ming, the rest were like a mold. Therefore, he snorted softly in his nose, and then said with great disdain:
"The old body not only knows your current name, but also knows that your boy's milk name is 'Qing'er', and the person you are looking for now. ”
"So, did my seniors know where my grandfather was?"
When the Flying Witch nodded, she had connected all the arms and bones of the five people with a wave of her hand, and then commanded unceremoniously:
"If you want to live, follow me and don't say a word, you will naturally see your grandfather when you get there. ”
Xiang Xingying was overjoyed, this was really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. Unexpectedly, his group of people searched all over the country and had no news of his grandfather, and he was about to appear in front of him. He was so excited that he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, but he didn't expect the other party to ignore him at all, and just walked forward. He had to get up right away and follow him.
On the way, Xiang Xingying opened his mouth to ask the four entourage, and hurriedly put his index finger to his mouth to stop with a "shhhhhh The guards outside the local prefect's yamen knew that this masked woman's identity was extraordinary, and she usually didn't even pay attention to the prefect in the yamen, so they didn't dare to provoke her, and they pretended not to see the five people who followed behind her.
Xiang Xingying and his gang were happy from the bottom of their hearts when they saw this formation, but they didn't expect that the place where their grandfather lived would be this kind of place. The five of them accompanied the Flying Witch to the backyard of the yamen and walked into a side courtyard, which was a separate courtyard in the backyard of the prefect's house, which was set up by the prefect to receive superiors, officials and distinguished guests, and those who could live here were all distinguished guests of the prefect.
There were six guards standing at the door, just like outside the yamen in front, but they were very interested, and when they saw the Flying Witch and her group, they all let them in as if they didn't see them. He didn't even dare to ask more, knowing that plainclothes people who could live in this courtyard were more terrible than ordinary officials, so he never bothered to ask.
At this time, Xiang Batian had fully recovered, and was discussing with his eldest apprentice Xu Cheng indoors how to use the power of the imperial court to defeat the martial arts forces led by Yi Kong in one fell swoop. Despite his cunning, he really didn't know the real purpose of the imperial court's use of him, which was nothing more than to use him to set off an unprecedented catastrophe in the martial arts to divert the dissatisfaction of these martial arts sects with the rule of the Manchus after entering the customs.
Although Xu Bucheng often served as a personal guard on the emperor's side, the emperor never mentioned the topic of using officers and soldiers to help Xiang Tiantian eliminate dissident forces. The last time he was waiting by the emperor's side, Emperor Yongzheng recognized him as Xiang Batian's eldest disciple, and he also knew Xiang Batian's intentions at this time, so he specially asked Xu Cheng to pass a message to him:
"This dynasty still follows the edict of Emperor Kangxi, and the title of Wulin Supreme needs to be won by himself by his true ability, not by the emperor's reward. It all depends on his own efforts. ”
Although Xiang Batian's martial arts are extraordinary, he does not understand the psychological needs of political rulers after all, and after hearing Xu Bucheng's words, he can't help but secretly shake his head in displeasure. At this time, he happened to see the Flying Witch leading a group of people, and Xiang Batian was a little dissatisfied with the Flying Witch bringing strangers in without prior notice, and was about to reprimand him angrily.
Suddenly, behind the Flying Witch, he found a young man who looked like Zhong Ming, and he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and before he could speak, the Flying Witch had already said to him:
"Look...... Who did I bring you today?"
"Lao Tzu's precious grandson Zhong ......"
Before Xiang Batian finished speaking, the Flying Witch immediately corrected:
"It's not Zhong Ming, it's Zhong Ming's elder brother Xiang Xingying. ”
When Xiang Xingying heard this, he knew that the old man who was asking questions on the opposite seat was his grandfather Xiang Batian, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed:
"Unfilial grandson Xiang Xingying, hello to grandpa. ”
"Xiang Xingying?" Xiang Batian suddenly felt a little disappointed, he had already learned from the Skeleton Shuangsha that there was such a grandson who came to the Central Plains to find him, and he was familiar with the Skeleton Shuangsha gang, and it was difficult for the children who grew up among them to be promising. Therefore, he just said lightly: "Get up, since it is a family, what is polite." ”
In order to test his grandson's martial arts, I saw that the sleeves of his robe were flicked slightly, and the sleeve wind actually overturned Xiang Xingying, seeing that he was clumsy when he got up, and his expression was still panicked after standing still, he knew that this was a stupid person. Xiang Batian lost hope, so he couldn't help but sigh, and secretly said in his heart:
"I am a deceptive hero, the only son is a monk, and one of my two grandsons is like a passer-bye, and now one of them finally defects to come, but I didn't expect this grandson to be a standard straw bale fool. Shouldn't this be a fulfillment of the common people's common saying: Weasels give birth to mice, and one generation is not as good as the other!"
Therefore, there was a look of displeasure on his face, and he immediately stretched out his hand and motioned for the Flying Witch to arrange for him to live in another room, not bothering to talk to him. How do you know that although this Xiang Xingying is ambitious and talented, he is ambitious, and it is really not easy for him to see his grandfather today, how can he let go of this opportunity that can be used now, so he boldly said:
"Sun Tzu's martial arts are low, everywhere is underestimated, but the mind is not stupid, in order to Xiang clan hegemony for thousands of generations, children and grandchildren will not be looked down upon by outsiders on the rivers and lakes, I want to pass on grandpa's 'ghost thirteen styles', in order to ensure that grandpa's martial arts hegemony will be passed on forever, and ask grandpa for permission. ”
After saying that, he wanted to kneel down again, but he didn't expect that Xiang Batian was already upset at this time, and with a slight flick of the sleeves of his robe, he forced his legs not to obey the call, and he couldn't kneel down for a while. Immediately, he only heard Xiang Batian's impatient expression:
"Grandpa, I'm busy with affairs, and if you want to practice martial arts, you might as well ask your masked grandmother for advice first. With her advice, I believe your martial arts will improve greatly. As for the 'Ghost Thirteen Styles' magic skill, grandpa will naturally pass it on to you when the time comes, after all, you and I are a family after all, and grandpa will never bring it to the grave. ”
With that, he waved his hand again and motioned for the Flying Witch to take his group away. It turns out that Xiang Batian, the person he looks down on the most in his life, is mediocrity, even his own flesh and blood. That's why Xiang Xingying's group was hurriedly dispatched. The Flying Witch didn't expect Xiang Batian to be so affectionate to her grandson, and the first time the two met, they actually sent it out with a sentence.
But as a person who knows a lot about Xiang Batian, the Flying Witch will naturally take into account Xiang Batian's current situation, and all of them need a talent who can be used to execute, and it is reasonable that she is not interested in Xiang Xingying's group. As Xiang Batian's henchman, the Flying Witch has seen that he is bored with Xiang Xingying, and seems to have regarded him as a current burden.
When she led Xiang Xingying's group out, she planned to arrange for him to be secretly supported in the home of a subordinate leader, so that he could live a carefree life, and she didn't have time to care about his martial arts cultivation. Somehow, she suddenly had an idea and completely changed her mind.
The Flying Witch has always been famous for her revenge in the martial arts, although she is no exception to Xiang Batian's biological grandson, thinking of Xiang Xingying's violation of herself when they first met, she couldn't help but secretly applaud this plan. With this change in concept, she took Xiang Xingying and his group to an inn near the official office, and set up five good rooms here.
In front of Xiang Xingying, the Flying Witch paid the innkeeper half a year's room and board in advance, and then instructed them:
"Today, you will stay here for a while to rest, and you don't have to worry about the accommodation fee in the future, and from tomorrow onwards, the old body will take the time to come over and teach you martial arts. However, cultivating superior martial arts is a difficult and arduous process, and I hope that you and the rest of you will be prepared in your hearts. The old body still has a lot of things to do right now, so I won't bother you now. ”
Xiang Xingying is impetuous, although he can see that his grandfather reacts coldly to him, but he is the flesh and blood of his Xiang descendants after all, the reason why grandpa is so sure has his own reasons, a person who wants to be in charge of the world's martial arts naturally has to worry about many things, so he doesn't take it to heart. Because the five of them found Xiang Batian, they thought that they had climbed to the number one martial arts master in the world in this life, and they could enjoy glory and wealth without worrying about food and clothing.
At the same time, Xiang Xingying found that the masked woman in front of him was extremely powerful in his grandfather's group, almost a deputy of his grandfather. If she wants to get close to Xiang Batian in the future, she can only rely on her help, and when she saw that the Flying Witch wanted to walk away after arranging things, she couldn't help but have the courage to invite the Flying Witch:
"I can find my grandfather today, it all depends on the kindness of the old-timers, please see the old-timers in my grandfather's face, today call us a group of opportunities to honor you, the little ones set up a banquet to express their gratitude to you, I don't know if the old-timers can agree?"
"Excuse me...... The old body is entangled in all things, how can you be so carefree. Celebrate yourselves. ”
The Flying Witch said, turned around and disappeared. Although Xiang Xingying touched his nose, he did not feel it, and in his mind, the weak should be like this, who called himself incapable? Although his grandfather had a cold attitude towards him, he was still very glad to have today's opportunity.
In addition to beckoning the innkeeper to make a good banquet, Xiang Xingying quietly stuffed two taels of silver to the innkeeper at the same time. The innkeeper didn't know what else he wanted to do, so he couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, Xiang Xingying was amused by the other party's surprised look, and couldn't help laughing, and then whispered to him:
"For people like us, drinking and eating food is a bit too monotonous, our gang is not short of money, if there are any women nearby who can accompany the wine / sleep, please go and find us a few." However, it must be young and pretty...... You must not find some ugly monsters for Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will not only get back the money he paid you, but also beat you in the ass!"
The innkeeper saw Xiang Xingying's appearance that he seemed to be drunk without drinking, and knew that this was an expert in drinking flower wine, but he didn't expect this young man to be such a character at a young age, and he smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that he had an opportunity to make a fortune today. Lede can be exploited at both ends, so he deliberately doubled the price of prostitutes/girls accompanying alcohol. And said:
"It's not difficult to do this, as long as the son has money, he can do it. Several famous corners on the Wanhua Building nearby are all good, which fully meets the requirements of the guest officer. But if you want to invite them here, you can't do it without ten taels of silver. Guest officers, don't think I'm bluffing, they usually wait for government officials and rich people. ”
Xiang Xingying knew that there were not many people in his group, but now that he had his grandfather's subordinates taking care of everything, as long as he could afford the accounts in front of him, he would be able to say anything, so he agreed. Sure enough, it was a ghost who bought it with money, and the inn guy went out for a while, and he invited five prostitutes/girls who were showy to come over.
The five prostitutes/women saw that the guests were very engaged, and then one of them hugged one of them, and the five people of Le didn't know where they were for a while? Xiang Xingying looked at these prostitutes/women and seemed to be not satisfied, so he immediately called the innkeeper and whispered a few words in his ear again. After a while, the innkeeper brought him a younger prostitute and stuffed it into his arms, and Xiang Xingying laughed at this point.
It turns out that this kid is very obscene/lustful, so he just makes up for the loneliness of these days. During the banquet, Xiang Xingyingxing couldn't help but relapse into his old ways, making loud noises, and the five of them had been drinking crookedly before they each hugged the prostitute/girl back to the room to rest. The whole inn was in a commotion, and although it was not news that the inn was recruiting prostitutes, no one had ever been as flamboyant as they were.
After waking up the next morning, Xiang Xingying first noticed that something was wrong, the prostitute/girl left quietly at some point, the room was empty, and he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he hurriedly called out to the Black brothers to come over. I didn't expect to search the entire inn, but I didn't find the Hei brothers, who were like steam evaporating from the world, and they didn't know where to go......
