Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 119 Li Yuanfang

"Humble Li Yuanfang, please refer to Commander-in-Chief!"

Inside the house, a young man about 25 years old knelt down on one knee in front of Li Xin to salute.

"Get up."

Li Xin remained calm on the face, but his heart was full of surprises.

He can't wait to give the emperor a big thumbs up!

He actually thought of sending him a subordinate, and it was Li Yuanfang.

Isn't that a coincidence!
"Yes, my lord!"

Li Yuanfang got up, unwrapped the package on his back, and opened it layer by layer, revealing a rectangular brocade box.

"This is sent by the emperor's humble officer."

Li Yuanfang was only a seventh-rank guerrilla general before, so he was not qualified to meet the emperor at all.

But because he was selected by his superiors and stood out among many competitors in the screening, he won this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rise to the top.

Not only did he have an audience with the emperor, but he was also given an important task, allowing him to enter the Tianjiwei, which he had never heard of.

For his specific position in the future, he needs to send the secret brocade box to the commander-in-chief, and let the latter appoint himself.

The only thing that surprised him was that the commander-in-chief was so young, the same age as himself.

Of course, this accident was felt long before departure.

He got Li Xin's identity information and specific portrait first, otherwise he would come to Qixia Town and admit the wrong person, it would be a joke.

As for what was in the secret brocade box, he naturally didn't know.

Not to mention that there is a seal on the brocade box, even if there is no seal, with his personality and professional ethics, he would not open it to check it without authorization.

"Well, you worked hard all the way."

Li Xin took a step forward and took the brocade box.

After tearing off the seal and opening the lid, the contents inside can be seen at a glance.

Six signs, four books, and a letter.

There are three pieces of gold in the brand, almost the same style, smaller than a palm, and can be held in one hand.

They are one gold medal for avoiding death and two gold medals for exempting crimes.

The names of the owners of the gold medals are engraved on the back, Li Xin, Bai Zhantang, and Su Can.

The other three are identity tokens, black metal texture.

They are Li Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Tianji Guard, Bai Zhantang, the deputy commander of the Tianji Guard, and Su Can, the secret agent of Ouchi.

"Your majesty, you can't carry the two plaques of Ah Can with you, so why send them here?"

Li Xin muttered, he could only choose to help Su Can keep it first.

Li Yuanfang heard Li Xin dare to complain about the emperor behind his back, but he didn't feel anything wrong.

The more popular someone is in the eyes of the emperor, the more casually he speaks, he still knows this.

At this time, Li Xin flipped through the four books again.

Two martial arts cheats and two medical books.

The martial arts cheats are "Legs Follow Like a Shadow" and "Duoluoyezhi".

The medical books are "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber".

It's all copybooks.

Li Xin didn't read it carefully, but opened the letter and read it silently.

The letter was written by the emperor. First, he greeted the recent situation of the three major rescuers, then said something about the Kowloon Sun and Moon Zun, and then explained the rewards.

According to the requirements put forward by Li Xin and Bai Zhantang, cheats on legwork and fingering were given respectively.

"Legs follow the shape like a shadow" is one of Shaolin's 72 stunts, and Cao Zhengchun appraised it as the top grade among the first-class martial arts.

"Duo Luo Ye Zhi" is also one of the 72 unique skills of Shaolin, and it is rated as the best of the first-class martial arts.

The emperor actually wanted to give him something better, that is, martial arts that were above first-class martial arts and at the level of miraculous martial arts.

It's a pity that for that level of cheats, the guards have extremely high qualifications and are backed by the queen mother, who opposes the outflow of magical skills, and the emperor has no choice but to give face.

What's more, there are not many magical skills hidden in the palace, and there are no leg skills and fingering skills in it.

In order to make up for it, the emperor thought that Li Xin had studied medicine with Liu Yuyi, so he ordered someone to copy two medical books and send them over.

At the end of the letter, there was an interesting story about the emperor playing tricks on several people with the tendons of the king of hell, and said that it was almost used up, and wanted to ask Li Xin for more.

It is said that after a period of time, a special envoy will be sent to take back the Jiulong Sun and Moon Bottle. At that time, just hand over the tendons of the king of hell to the special envoy and take them back to the capital.

"Such a big pack of Devil's Spicy Latiao is almost used up?"

After Li Xin finished reading, he shook his head slightly, feeling that he had indirectly harmed many people?
For example, the two princesses mentioned by the emperor are both human spirits, and they were not tricked into eating the tendon of Hades. Instead, after knowing its spiciness, they took more than half of it from the emperor's hand and went elsewhere to punish other people. up.

This thing seems to have gained a notoriety in the aristocratic circle of the capital.

"Forget it, I don't live in the capital anyway, so it's none of my business."

He closed the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, put the sign and booklet back into the brocade box, and closed the lid.

Only then did Li Xin say to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, that's what I'll call you from now on. Since you've been selected through layers of screening, it's enough to demonstrate your ability. I'll make you a thousand households first. What do you want?" ah?"

"Thank you for your grace!"

Li Yuanfang thanked him.

Qianhu is at the fifth rank, and his original guerrilla general was at the seventh rank, and now he has been promoted quickly enough.

"Well, our Tianjiwei hides in the dark, even more hidden than the Jinyiwei. It is best for everyone to have a code name to prevent their identities from being revealed. Your code name should be Shuangying!"

Li Xin's intention was purely temporary.

Because looking at Li Yuanfang's face, the code name "Double Eagle" just came out of his mouth.

As for himself and the code name of Bai Zhantang, let's think about it later.

"Since you came here as my relative, and you happen to belong to my family, in the future, you will be my clan brother, and you have come to join me on purpose, and you will be the big housekeeper in my house."

Li is satisfied with his confidence, and today he has taken Zhan Zhao and Li Yuanfang together, and his family's defense strength has been greatly increased.

"Yes, everything is under the arrangement of the adults!"

Li Yuanfang was sent here to act as Li Xin's right-hand man, so it would be more convenient for him to stay here as a housekeeper.

And the closer you are to Li Xin, the better you will be reused, and it will not be difficult to go up in the future.

"You are exhausted, so choose a suitable room in the house to live in. For your needs in life, you can tell any maid... Yurong! Go and call Mingyue!"

Li Xin said, shouting to the outside.

Yu Rong was waiting outside his main room, so temporarily arrange Ming Yue to assist Li Yuanfang.

As for Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui, most of the work is still in the kitchen, responsible for purchasing ingredients and cooking.

Xiao Ai is now responsible for washing and drying bedding, bed sheets and other large items, and has not engaged in her previous dirty work.

Because Li Xin, the master, does not need it, and has its own drainage system in the space.

As for the maids and fellows, Ye Xiang, Li Xin clearly pointed out that he should be responsible for himself.

If you don't want to do it yourself, you can also hire someone to help you do it, as long as the hired person doesn't enter the house, Li Xin doesn't care about it.

"My lord! What are your orders?"

Mingyue was quickly called over and asked outside.

"You come in."

Li Xin called Mingyue in and introduced Li Yuanfang, the clan brother who will be the chief steward in the future.

Let the bright moon fall under its control.

Besides Yurong, Li Yuanfang also has the power to mobilize the other maids.

Of course, this is all temporary, and Li Xin is already planning to find a few maids to buy after the next new addition to the North Street Dental Shop.

At that time, the arrangements will change again.

At this time, Mingyue saw that Li Yuanfang had a good appearance and a high-spirited appearance, and that Master Xindao was handsome and good-looking, even his clan brothers were so handsome.

She couldn't help but blushed, leaned forward and said, "Hello housekeeper, please give me instructions if you have anything to do in the future."

Li Yuanfang nodded and looked at Li Xin: "If the master has nothing else to do, Yuanfang will leave first."

"Ah."

Li Xin waved his hand slightly.

So Li Yuanfang and Mingyue withdrew.

"Yurong, go and send a message to Ali, asking him to ask Chai Jiu to invite Brother Bai over."

Li Xin said to Yu Rong again.

"Yes, sir."

……

Soon after, Bai Zhantang came to this house.

"Brother, what's the matter suddenly? I just fell asleep and I was having a dream. In the dream, I used gambling skills to kill everyone, and finally won the big-mouthed girl who knelt down in front of me and begged for mercy. I was about to say a few words to her. Woke up, alas!"

Bai Zhantang sat down as soon as he arrived, poured tea by himself, took a sip and said.

"Mother Big Mouth kneeled down and begged for mercy?"

Li Xin didn't think about it, and went straight to the point: "I'm looking for you because I have something to give you. Guess what's in it?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the rectangular brocade box on the table next to him.

"Oh?"

Bai Zhantang took a closer look, and said happily, "Is it something from the palace? The emperor sent us the gold medal?"

"As expected of a Thief Saint, his vision is accurate!"

Li Xin gave a thumbs up with a smile.

"What's the matter, isn't it easy to guess this?"

Bai Zhantang walked to the table and opened the box, inside was his exempt gold medal, his identity token and a cheat book.

The share belonging to Li Xin and Su Can was naturally taken away and stored in the space.

Qingwen is sitting on the sofa right now, reading "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" in her hands.

""Duo Luo Ye Zhi"? Damn, this is a Shaolin stunt!"

When Bai Zhantang saw the four words on the cover, his brows bristled with joy, and he couldn't help but flip through it.

After turning two pages, he looked up again and asked, "Brother, what martial arts have you got?"

"This one."

Li Xin pretended to reach into his bosom, and found out the secret book of "Legs Like Shadows Follow".

"Shaolin stunt again? When did Shaolin Temple take refuge in the imperial court?"

Bai Zhantang took it, opened the first page, scanned two lines at random, put them together and handed them back to Li Xin.

No matter how good brothers and friends are, in terms of martial arts, especially the martial arts skills at the bottom of the box, it is best not to share, it is a common practice in the world.

It's like Li Xin didn't take advantage of the spare time to copy "Duo Luo Ye Zhi".

Anyway, he has already decided that besides internal strength, he will major in leg work and light work.

I don't have the energy to study fingering too much.

"Shaolin Temple has a big name and a big tree attracts the wind. It is stared at by all kinds of people from the rivers and lakes and the court. Under the coercion and tricks, they will always lose a few unique skills."

Li Xin said indifferently.

He got "Legs Like Shadows", so he definitely wanted to practice. It just so happened that "Mandarin Duck Legs" has already been completed, and he can transfer to the former seamlessly.

As for whether people who meet Shaolin Temple in the future will encounter hostility if they are recognized with this kick, that is a matter for the future.

"That's right! Those who can really get the Shaolin unique knowledge must choose to hide it, and everyone can live with it, otherwise, if you dare to be blatant and too arrogant, you will definitely be slaughtered by the Shaolin Temple."

Bai Zhantang smiled and said, he remembered the martial arts gym opened by Mrs. Qian's natal family, which claimed to be able to teach the Thirteen Taibao how to practice golden bell shields horizontally.

In fact, it is using the name of "The Golden Bell Cover" to bluff people.

What is really taught is the thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises, and only the first level.

When I mentioned it to Li Xin, he estimated that Mrs. Qian's natal family only had the first three levels of formulas at most.

This is inevitable, otherwise how would I dare to teach it publicly.

It is estimated that Shaolin Temple sent people to investigate the bottom of the sky. If it is only the first few floors, they will not pursue it.

There are too many Shaolin martial arts, scattered in bits and pieces, and they are generally not pursued.

"This "Duoluoyezhi" also pays too much attention to internal strength, right? With my current skill, it is a bit reluctant to display it."

As he said that, Bai Zhantang continued to look through the cheat books, his complexion became worse the more he read.

"I made a mistake! I knew I would have asked the emperor for an inner skill! The inner skill I practice now can only be regarded as a mediocre level among the first-class ones. If I practiced it with a magical skill, I would not be able to fly! Mistake, mistake!"

Bai Zhantang became a little annoyed.

"Brother Bai, don't even think about supernatural skills. In fact, the emperor wrote a letter, which clearly explained it. You can read it."

Li Xin showed the emperor's letter to Bai Zhantang to read again.

Mainly for the latter to see the contents of the reward items.

To let him know that he didn't swallow the extra rewards, that's really all.

Although the friendship between the two is deep enough, there are still necessary proofs.

"What? According to Cao Duzhu's evaluation, my "Duo Luo Ye Zhi" is not considered a unique skill? It's just a first-class martial art?"

Sure enough, Bai Zhantang first saw that the emperor said that he could not give the supernatural skills, so he relieved his annoyance just now.

Then when he read Cao Zhengchun's evaluation of the two martial arts, he became upset again.

"72 unique skills, to put it nicely, I should have thought of it a long time ago! It's not bad to have one-third of the supernatural skills, and the rest are first-rate, or even second-rate."

When Bai Zhantang said this, he felt relieved again.

His skills are first-class and best, but Li Xin's is even worse, he can only be regarded as first-class and best.

"Brother, I took advantage this time."

Bai Zhantang laughed.

"It doesn't matter, who told me to start with "Mandarin Duck Legs", just continue to practice leg skills."

Li Xin didn't feel any worse than Bai Zhantang's.

In terms of leg skills and fingering skills, it is reasonable to say that the former is more than the latter, but it is calculated including all martial arts.

If it is limited to high-level martial arts, then it is reversed, leg skills are rare, and fingering skills are relatively more.

"If you have practiced your leg skills, it will more or less help you practice lightness skills. Lightness skills are necessary for escaping your life. It's not a loss for you."

Obviously, Bai Zhantang is also aware of the reason, and said: "When you get the door lightness kung fu in the future, you will know the benefits of practicing leg exercises. I didn't have the opportunity before. There is no good leg exercise to practice in the sunflower school. Later, the internal strength cultivation came up. , enough to support my lightness kung fu, and the idea of ​​practicing leg kung fu was eliminated."

What Bai Zhantang said was common sense. Leg skills help lightness skills in the early stage, and light skills in the later stage mainly rely on internal strength, so leg skills seem unimportant.

And of course he didn't know that Li Xin had already practiced a unique light kung fu, and he devoted a lot of time to it every day, and his progress was extremely fast.

It is difficult for ordinary people to practice more time every day, mainly because the muscles and bones of the legs are not allowed, and strong training will hurt.

Li Xin has the support of "Easy Muscles and Bone Forging", the strength of the muscles and bones of his legs is far beyond that of ordinary warriors, and he will not have any problems if he continues to practice leg skills and light skills.

"Brother Bai, you have also read the contents of the letter. The emperor also gave you two medical books. If you are interested, you can copy a copy and take it back, or I will copy it again. It's the same."

Li Xin was very happy to share medical books, and it would be nice to have someone to discuss medical skills with each other in the future.

"Forget it. It was my dream to study medicine and become a doctor. It's too late now. I've already formed the shape. It's okay to practice martial arts. I can't read medical books."

Bai Zhantang was slightly moved, but he still shook his head and refused.

"Anyway, the medical books are with me. If you change your mind, you can always ask me for them."

Li Xin shrugged.

"Okay, I've put away those things. You can keep the brocade box. It's too ostentatious for people to recognize it. I have to go back and catch up on sleep."

Bai Zhantang put away the two plaques and cheat books, and said goodbye.

Li Xin sent him out, and then turned to look at Yan Zhanzhao.

By the way, take him to meet Li Yuanfang.

Finally, Li Xin asked the latter if he knew horses, and when he got an affirmative answer, he took him to the tooth shop together.

After going back and forth, Li Xin and Li Yuanfang led a total of eight horses back.

They were all the best and strongest in the dental shop, one of them was for Li Yuanfang, and the other was for Bai Zhantang, in case he forgot to buy a mount when he set out for Shuangqi Town.

When Li Yuanfang came to the door, he brought a horse with him, but he had two horses.

Apart from these, Li Xin prepared six horses for himself.

After dismissing everyone from the stables, he took the opportunity to put five of them into the space, and just find an excuse at that time.

"When others rush on the road, they can run the horse to death. I have space and can change at any time. Five horses should be enough to take turns. I will buy a good horse later!"

Li Xin smiled.

With the space of the jade pendant, he has another kind of protection.

When encountering a certain situation, he can run fast enough and last long enough not by relying on his own light work, but by riding a horse alone.

"The next step is to learn how to ride..."

Li Xin called someone to call Li Yuanfang, and let the latter teach the essentials of riding a horse.

After learning for a while, Li Xin quickly got started.

However, due to the limited space, it was only after two short trots back and forth on horseback that it ended.

"Master, you have already mastered the basic skills, as long as you run a few more times, you will become more and more proficient."

Li Yuanfang watched from the sidelines, and basically saw that Li Xin's footwork was very stable, and his lightness work should not be weak.

He nodded secretly, thinking that although the lord is young, his martial arts are really good.

Although I don't know who is stronger or weaker than myself, it is expected that the difference will not be too much.

"It's enough for me to practice here today. You can ask Zhan Zhao later if he wants to learn how to ride a horse. If he wants to learn, you can teach him too."

Li Xin is ready to train Zhan Zhao well.

In fact, Ali is also on the training list, but Ali has no foundation, so he simply waits until he has time later.

After returning to the room, Li Xin naturally entered the space and chose a horse to continue practicing.

There are many places to run in the space.

After a few laps he thought he was completely fine before stopping.

……

Early the next morning, Li Xin went to Liebei to meet Xiaolongnv before leaving.
