Chapter 41: The Troublemaker Guo Fu
When Yin Zhiping arrived at the Imperial Garden, Emperor Lizong knew that he would come, but he was also waiting for him, accompanied by Zhao Zhijing, who was alias Qian Jingzhi.
Yin Zhiping taught Emperor Lizong's Dao Boxing method, but it also happened to give Zhao Zhijing a good excuse to get close to the emperor's companion. Zhao Zhijing is also a true disciple, and he is naturally very familiar with this introductory Dao boxing method. He couldn't reveal his identity as a true disciple, but he told the emperor that he watched Yin Zhiping teach the emperor boxing that day, and he also learned it on the sidelines, so he volunteered to accompany the emperor to practice boxing.
Zhao Zhijing was already a very useful personal eunuch beside Jia Guifei, and Emperor Lizong favored Jia Guifei, so he also trusted Zhao Zhijing. Zhao Zhijing volunteered like this, and Jia Guifei also agreed, so Li Zong agreed and asked Zhao Zhijing to accompany him to practice boxing.
Zhao Zhijing naturally did not show that he was extremely familiar with the Great Dao Boxing method at the beginning, but pretended to be very rusty, and behaved even more unbearable than the beginner of Li Zong. But he used his own unbearability to set off the emperor's cleverness, making the emperor feel that he was very talented, and he learned faster and more proficient than him, so as to satisfy the emperor's vanity. In addition, he patted a few sycophants from time to time, which made Li Zong very happy, and his good impression of him increased greatly, and he has now transferred him from Jia Guifei's side to his side to listen to it.
Yin Zhiping was very unhappy with Zhao Zhijing taking advantage of his own momentum like this, but he had no good reason or excuse to obstruct Zhao Zhijing, and he had no choice but to let it go, anyway, as long as Zhao Zhijing didn't harm his own business.
And Zhao Zhijing did this, but it could also reassure him that Zhao Zhijing would not breach the contract and destroy this matter again. Because, now Zhao Zhijing has also benefited from this matter. Zhao Zhijing also wants to sabotage this matter. That would be tantamount to bad for his own business. Yin Zhiping believes that Zhao Zhijing will go crazy again, and he will not do such a thing that harms others and himself.
Shi Libai met Emperor Lizong. After a few words of gossip, Yin Zhiping practiced the Great Dao Boxing Method with Li Zong and Zhao Zhijing for half an hour. This is followed by tea for a break. While chatting about some topics that Emperor Rijong was interested in, he deepened his feelings.
In late autumn, the days become shorter, and when it is almost unitary, the sun has set and the sky is dark. During this period, if Emperor Lizong had nothing to deal with, Yin Zhiping would usually chat with the emperor and kill time until nightfall, and then have dinner with the emperor before leaving the palace.
But today it is unfortunate. Not long after practicing boxing together, a eunuch came to report that Prime Minister Shi Songzhi had asked to see the emperor and had something to report to the emperor.
Since it was Shi Songzhi's request to see, there must be some major military affairs or something. Yin Zhiping did not disturb the emperor to do business, so he got up and said goodbye. Li Zong didn't stay long, and asked Zhao Zhijing to send Yin Zhiping out of the palace on his behalf.
Yin Zhiping was the first time Shen Shi entered the palace, and he practiced boxing with the emperor for half an hour when he entered the palace, plus the time spent talking to the emperor on the way into the palace, he came out of the palace at this time. It had already passed more than half an hour, and it was the end of the Shen hour.
At this time, the days are getting shorter, and by this time the sun is already in the west, and there is no such dazzling light as at noon. Yin Zhiping got out of the palace gate. I looked at the sky in the west where the remnant sun was shining, but I didn't want to go back to Wanshou Temple immediately. After a little hesitation, he walked along the royal street. I want to go to the Yunlai Inn to meet Li Mochou. Since that night's tryst with Wanshouguan, he hadn't seen Li Mochou for two days. I miss it a lot.
After passing through the government office area of the northern section of the Royal Street, which is close to the yamen of various government agencies of the Imperial Palace, you will enter the middle section of the most prosperous part of the Royal Street. The Yunlai Inn is in a branch alley in the middle of the Royal Street. Although it is not the most prosperous area on the street, it is quite powerful to be able to drive near the royal street.
When Yin Zhi was parallel to the middle of the royal street, the sun had set again. The street runs north-south, and at this time, the west side of the storefront buildings casts a long shadow on the street under the slanting light of the setting sun. Some of the two-storey buildings have almost cast a shadow on the shops across the street. Therefore, although the sun has not yet completely set, the entire royal street is much darker due to the shadow of the shops on the west side, and many shops have begun to turn on their lights, and various lanterns of different styles have been hung under the eaves. For a moment, it was like a starry light up, illuminating the long street.
Yin Zhiping looked at the lanterns of different styles and colors hanging in various stores all the way, and his mood was relaxed and relaxed. When I walked past a restaurant, I suddenly saw a crowd gathering in front of me, and there was a sound of shouting and clashing blades, as if someone had a conflict and was fighting in front.
Many people like to watch the excitement, but Yin Zhiping doesn't like it very much. I took a look, but I saw that the crowd was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and I couldn't see the situation inside at all. He was not interested in looking, and after one look, he turned his gaze and looked to the side, intending to walk around.
Walking to the place where the crowd gathered, Yin Zhiping was walking around from the side, and suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting: "Sister Shi, come and help!"
As soon as Yin Zhiping heard this voice, he immediately stopped his steps, because this voice was Guo Fu's shout. And the "Sister Shi" in Guo Fu's mouth is Shi Bingyun. In the past few days, the two women have become very familiar with each other, and they have begun to be sisters. Shi Bingyun is seventeen years old this year, while Guo Fu is only sixteen years old, but he is one year younger than Shi Bingyun. Since Shi Bingyun is the elder sister, Guo Fu calls her "Sister Shi", and she calls Guo Fu "Sister Guo".
If someone else was fighting, Yin Zhiping didn't bother to pay attention to it, and he didn't even have the interest to take a look. But when it comes to his own disciples, he can't ignore it. And if Guo Fu had an accident, he couldn't ignore it. Although he didn't like Guo Fu in his heart, he couldn't know that Guo Fu might have an accident, but he deliberately ignored it. Otherwise, don't say that it will be difficult to explain to Guo Jing and Huang Rong at that time, even if it is not easy to explain to Yang Guo, after all, Guo Fu is now Yang Guo's fiancée. At the moment, his brows furrowed slightly, he sighed helplessly in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly say, "Guo Fu, this troublemaker", turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
Although Shi Bingyun is the daughter of a rich family and a young lady from an official family, her family is a family of eunuchs and scholars, and her family education has always been very strict, so she is not arrogant, but very well-behaved. Compared with Guo Fu, it is completely the opposite. Therefore, although he still doesn't know what happened, Yin Zhiping is ninety percent sure in his heart that the matter was definitely provoked by Guo Fu.
Look at the lively crowd layered on top of each other, very densely surrounded. If it's an ordinary person, it's really not easy to squeeze in. But Yin Zhiping is not an ordinary person, and he can't care about being polite to others at this moment, so he is working hard at the moment, swiping left and right, and at the same time using a small move under his feet, he swam into it like a swimming fish.
