Tianlong Sword Guanghan

Chapter 68 67. See you on Lingzhou Road

"Pianpian left Shangjing and arrived in the border town in a few days.

Gradually feel the wind and sand, and also bow and arrow.

Xi Ji invaded the dark road, and the wild horses were startled.

The military government knows Guiqing, and should teach how to ride to welcome. "

On the Lingzhou mountain road, a group of powerful men from the Jianghu hurried on their way. Although these Jianghu people were in a hurry, they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and their weapons were bright. When they met each other, they gathered together and whispered to each other.And at the top of the hillside by the roadside, a dozen knights gathered around a young man in black and black horse, listening to the young man reciting poems on the horse.

It's a pity that the young man who recited the poem was ordinary-looking, holding a black sword in his arms, he was not a handsome and unrestrained romantic talent, and the rest of the knights also wore weapons, describing them as vicious, like evil spirits.They listened to the verses, but they were silently counting in their hearts. When they counted to "four" in their hearts, they applauded and cheered.Someone praised loudly: "The young master is literary and elegant, he is really the first class romantic man in the world!" Another person retorted: "Chen Dongzhu's words are wrong. The young master is not only literary and elegant, but also has a personality and appearance that is unparalleled in the world. , among the young people in this world, who can gain the young master's heel?"

As soon as he said this, a group of demons and goblins applauded in unison, Dongzhu Chen, who had spoken earlier, patted himself on the cheek jokingly, and said flatteringly, "Oh, Brother Xiong is right, but the villain is blind, and the young master is handsome and unrestrained." , The nobleness is overwhelming, I was frightened by the young master's literary talent for a while, and I never thought of this festival, sin, sin." Everyone opened their mouths one after another, as if such shameless flattery words were poured out unscrupulously in this large audience.

At this time, several people came on horseback, and the one in the middle was a young man with a fat face, red lips and white teeth, surrounded by five middle-aged people to protect him.One of them, dressed as a scholar, couldn't help frowning when he heard the nonsense of these people.The leader has three long beards, and his appearance is very handsome, he said softly: "Brother Zhu, we have a heavy responsibility to shoulder, so we must not make any troubles."

The scholar nodded, resisting the discomfort in his heart, and continued to walk forward.I also heard the "young lord" say: "Brothers' kindness, I appreciate it, but such praise is too much. This poem was written by Zhang Ji, and it is not suitable for the occasion to read it here. Let's stop bragging about it indiscriminately, so as not to encounter a big expert, it would be embarrassing."

The second brother Xiong said righteously: "Young master, what is the matter? This poem is obviously written by the young master here in public, but who is the book? My brother will go to find him and ask him to clarify for the young master. After a while, you dare to copy my young master’s masterpiece, there is really no law.” Another person was filled with righteous indignation, and said loudly: “The young master is too self-effacing. I just look at the surrounding scenery, which is not the same as the young master’s poem. In other words, the fit is incomparable, it fits perfectly!"

After these few words, the scholar couldn't bear it any longer. With a "poof", he laughed out loud. He simply remembered that his group of people had a mission, and he quickly held back his breath, stuck in his throat, unable to go up. He couldn't get down, but he was so suffocated that his face flushed and he coughed endlessly.

Master Chen Dongzhu has good ears, and when he heard the half-laughter, he said angrily, "Who dares to laugh at people behind their backs!" The scholar was about to speak when the middle-aged man who led him stopped him, stepped forward, He clasped his fists and said, "Before Xiadilin set off, his brother and sister gave birth to a son with him. Every time he thinks about it, he can't help laughing. I offended everyone unintentionally. I'm really sorry, sorry."

Cave Master Chen wanted to say more, but when he heard the young man cough lightly, he quickly shut up and bowed back.The young man came out more and more, and said with a blushing smile: "Brother, my brothers don't know a lot of Chinese characters, but they are not afraid of being ugly and force themselves to be arty, so they have the cheek to praise them like this. Nonsense Under the gibberish, it's okay to be laughed at by experts. But you can't be serious about it. Please feel free."

When the scholar saw that Fang Zhengzhu was very polite and gentle, he cupped his hands and said, "The master said: 'Do not see anything wrong with the rules, hear nothing that hurts the rules, don't speak anything that hurts the rules, and don't move anything that hurts the rules.' This time it was the student's fault." .”

The man was full of smiles, and nodded again and again: "It's easy to say, easy to say." He turned his head and said to his subordinates: "Okay, let's rest. You want to listen to the poems, and I will read them too. Let's continue." Let's go. His grandma, Xiong Da Xiong Er, are you two literate? And Lao Wu and Lao Chen, you are also making fun of it, you are really not human."

A tall and burly man led a black horse over, with a smile on his face, he said: "Young master, we are going to Xixia this time, and the matter of the son-in-law is still in hand? Who in the world deserves to be compared with you?" We brothers thought, this will create momentum for you along the way, let your reputation of both civil and martial arts be greater, and also scare away all those pretentious dogs, lest you have to beat the dogs yourself, just for nothing Get your hands dirty."

As soon as he said this, the scholar only felt that it was extremely harsh. He turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man in the lead. The middle-aged man frowned and became peaceful again.He bowed to the young man and asked, "I don't know how to address you?"

Before the young man could answer, the tall man leading the horse raised his head and akimbo, and said loudly: "My young master is Li Xiaoyao, Mr. Li, who is known as 'Yijian Town Xirong' in the Jianghu. My young master is not worthy of carrying shoes, you should go back earlier to avoid a long journey!"

Li Xiaoyao slapped him on the back of the head, and said angrily: "Old Wu, if you learn to talk like Bao Dong, I'm going to beat you up!" The Bone Cave Xiong brothers and their subordinates.He said viciously: "You too, don't offend others for me. If you want to cause trouble, are you better than me?"

He was swearing here, but he heard a soft call from the other side, the young man with a white face said: "You are the second brother Li?" Li Xiaoyao turned around anxiously, and asked strangely: "Little girl, what do you call me?"

Although the young man is dressed as a man, but she is naturally beautiful and has a graceful figure, how can she hide it?When Li Xiaoyao heard her calling him second brother, he thought of someone and turned around to ask.

The scholar hastily bowed and saluted, and said: "Princess Wanqing of the Duan family of Dali, along with ministers Gao Shengtai, Zhu Danchen and others, have seen Second Master Li."

Li Xiaoyao laughed and said, "So it's the third brother's sister and friend, sister, you are right to call me the second brother." At this moment, Gao Shengtai also stepped forward. Seeing the ceremony, I asked Zhu Danchen to speak for him, while Chu Wanli and Fu Sigui were still guarding Mu Wanqing's side, but seeing Li Xiaoyao, knowing that his martial arts are very strong, and that he has a strong support, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Mu Wanqing blushed, lowered her head and asked softly, "Second brother, do you know... where is he?" Li Xiaoyao knew that she was tender, and if she made a joke, she might be waiting for her immediately.Then he said bluntly: "The third brother was playing in my master's gate a few days ago. Since we have nothing to do here, you can come with me to the master's gate as a guest, how about looking for him?"

Mu Wanqing nodded, and suddenly her expression changed, and she said angrily, "Hmph, I don't want to go to him." Li Xiaoyao saw that her face was immature, but her eyes were wild and unruly, with fierce glints flickering from time to time.Secretly amused in his heart, he added another handful of dry sticks to the raging fire, and said, "Oh? Well then, after the third brother settles down Miss Wang, I'll let him go home again."

Mu Wanqing was startled when she heard the word "Miss Wang", and quickly asked: "Miss Wang? Who is Miss Wang? Why did you...he settle down in person?" Seeing Li Xiaoyao's half-smile, she felt ashamed , but she is not a shy lady, and when she saw Li Xiaoyao's answer, she became ruthless in her heart, thinking about how to make a move, captured Li Xiaoyao, and interrogated her carefully.Suddenly, I thought about it again: Now that he and I are brothers and sisters, why should I ask him back and forth?That's right, Miss Wang is probably the future sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing couldn't help feeling sorry for herself, her eyes turned red immediately, but she was strong in nature, she quickly looked up at the sky, and refused to let tears fall.Li Xiaoyao saw that she stopped talking and couldn't see the scene of the grape trellis in Duan Yu's backyard collapsing, and secretly thought it was a pity.Turning to Gao Shengtai, he said, "Marquis Shan Chan, please move on, I have something important to discuss."

Gao Shengtai was amazed when he saw that he was serious, so he went forward, Li Xiaoyao led him, Mu Wanqing and Zhu Danchen to the hillside beside the road, Wu Laoda and others surrounded the hillside.Scattered wanderers passing by on the road, seeing such a situation, were afraid of causing trouble, so they all avoided and hurried past.

Li Xiaoyao explained the Shaolin matter to Gao Shengtai, Mu Wanqing, and Zhu Danchen in detail, even his own and Eunuch Yu's various guesses were unreserved.Mu Wanqing couldn't understand these things, she was only thinking about "Miss Wang", the girl's thoughts were entangled like a mess, and she didn't want to pay attention to Daliao and Song Dynasty.Gao Shengtai and Zhu Danchen's faces were as frosty. After a long while, the two of them looked at each other, and Gao Shengtai said: "Brother Zhu, you have always been quite wise, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhu Danchen thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Although Mr. Li's guess is unsubstantiated, it is well-organized. Moreover, for such a big matter, we can only believe it rather than believe it. Even if we guess wrong, it is nothing more than a precautionary measure. It’s not going to happen, but if you are lucky and don’t take precautions, when the time comes, I’m afraid it will be difficult to deal with it.”

After hearing Zhu Danchen's words, Gao Shengtai weighed himself repeatedly, and said to Li Xiaoyao, "Young Master Li is my family's elder brother and righteous brother, so we can trust him. Dali has always been close to Da Song. Next, do you have any eggs? We also have to do our best."

Li Xiaoyao quickly thanked him, and Gao Shengtai said again: "It's just how we should act, and please ask Mr. Li to get a charter." Li Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I am not very good at such things as temple calculations. Ruoyi I originally intended to let the third younger brother take action to fight for this son-in-law, and with my help, it will be safe. It's a pity that he has his own heart now, so he naturally refuses to be a son-in-law."

Hearing Li Xiaoyao's words, Mu Wanqing felt a pain in her heart, her nose turned sour, and tears almost fell down.She cried: "Then why doesn't the second brother fight for the son-in-law of Lao Shi? Although your subordinates speak harshly, there is still some truth." Seeing her like this, Li Xiaoyao felt amused in his heart, silently pleading for Duan Yu After reading a passage of "The Sutra of Rescuing the Suffering", he said with a bitter face: "I am related to the Empress Dowager Xixia's natal family. In terms of seniority, I can be regarded as the princess's cousin. There is no way out."

Zhu Danchen said in a deep voice: "This is really difficult, how should we fight for the position of this son-in-law?"

Li Xiaoyao said ruthlessly: "If it's really impossible, I'll go and kill Murong Fu, but in this way, if the news gets out, the relationship between Xixia and Song Dynasty may change drastically."

Zhu Danchen shook his head hastily, and said: "This is the next strategy. If Murong Fu is killed and the Xixia Emperor finds out, it is for the sake of face. I'm afraid it will turn against Song Dynasty."

Li Xiaoyao said angrily: "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. Could it be that I can't even be a shit-stirring stick?"

Zhu Danchen thought hard, saw Mu Wanqing without any opinion, and said with a flash of inspiration: "I have a plan." Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed, and said: "Brother Zhu, don't try to be tricky, please tell me quickly." Zhu Danchen said: " We misunderstood earlier, it doesn't really matter who this son-in-law is, as long as Murong Fu is not allowed to be the son-in-law, it will be a great achievement."

Everyone nodded in unison, Zhu Danchen said again: "Since Mr. Li is related to the Empress Dowager of Xixia, please ask Mr. Li to find the Empress Dowager and Princess of Xixia. Motivate the Empress Dowager and the princess, determined not to recruit Murong Fu, the emperor may not be able to force the princess to marry."

He looked at Mu Wanqing again, and said, "Princess Wanqing, please suffer some grievances, disguise herself as a man, and fight for it." Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the Xixia emperor to fight for the son-in-law? When Dali and Xixia will have a dispute for no reason, it will be unbeautiful."

Zhu Danchen said with a smile: "We don't want to be consorts, we only need the princess to bring the ministers in, we see every trick, and focus on making trouble for Murong Fu, making him ashamed, when the time comes we will naturally lose the election, then Murong Fu It didn't end well either, isn't this the best of both worlds, everything will be fine?"

Li Xiaoyao clapped his palms and laughed loudly, and said: "There are those inside who are pulling the bottom of the pot, and those outside are surrounded by girls. This two-pronged plan is enough for the Murong family and his son to drink a pot." He stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Danchen on the shoulder, and said with a smile: " Sure enough, the hearts of scholars are darker. You are the one who pays back, Brother Zhu."

As soon as Zhu Danchen's face darkened, he wanted to avoid his claws, but he shook his shoulders and changed his figure three times in a row. Li Xiaoyao's palm followed him like a shadow, and still patted him firmly on the shoulder.Mu Wanqing saw Zhu Danchen twisting left and right, like a monkey being firmly held in Li Xiaoyao's hands, completely different from his usual handsome appearance, couldn't help laughing through tears.Her skin was already as white and tender as jade, but when she smiled at this moment, she looked even more beautiful.

Seeing Wu Boss at the side, his heart became tense, and he secretly looked at Li Xiaoyao's face. Seeing Li Xiaoyao's bright smile, he didn't look at Mu Wanqing much.Then he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and let go of his heart a little bit, only feeling that his heart was beating so hard that it would jump out of his chest at any moment.He murmured in his heart: Honorable Envoy, Honorable Envoy, Xiaowu, I have dedicated myself to you. If the young master finds out, Xiaowu, I will die soon. You must never forget my contribution, Xiaowu. Toil and fatigue.
