Chapter 142
"Okay, tell me which master you found? Is he really that powerful?"
After Kangxi chatted for a while, he couldn't help but ask.
After all, if Ao Bai is not removed, his throne will be unstable, so he is particularly concerned about this matter.
Wei Xiaobao no longer pretended, and said bluntly: "The great hero I found is incredible. He fought against the top ten leaders of the Red Flower Society with one person's power and beat them to pieces. He can be said to be the best in the world in martial arts. He is unique.
Got it!"
Kangxi was happy at first, but then he frowned and said, "You guys are not bragging to me, are you?"
Although he did not know much about the Honghua Society, the fact that it had been entrenched in the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years showed that its foundation was deep and the number of masters in the society should not be underestimated.
As far as he knew, in addition to the chief helmsman, the Red Flower Club had a total of fourteen heads, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts and had extraordinary abilities.
According to what Xiao Guizi said, the master he invited could actually fight one against ten. If this is true, it would be really amazing.
But, can this little slick guy really recruit such a master to take charge of him?
Regarding this, he still had doubts in his heart and felt that it was not true at all.
Seeing that the little emperor did not believe in him, Wei Xiaobao suddenly became unhappy.
"You little Xuanzi, you don't believe me. I have seen these with my own eyes..."
Immediately, he told the story of how he was attacked and how he was rescued by Yang Guo.
Since he was a child, he had been accustomed to hearing stories from storytellers. After a long speech, he knew where to pause and where to highlight, and the key points were just right.
What's more, he has experienced this matter personally and witnessed it with his own eyes. All the subtle twists and turns are described in detail, and with appropriate embellishments, listening to him talk about the ins and outs of the whole thing is probably more difficult than Yang Guo's being there.
The scene is a little more thrilling.
Kangxi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he was very interested.
"Now my good brother is outside the imperial city. If you don't believe it, little Xuanzi, you can order someone to invite him in to see if it is as I said."
Wei Xiaobao said with a very proud expression.
Kangxi took in his expression and couldn't help but smile: "Okay! Then I will trust your little trick for once and let Wen Youdao take this hero into the palace and have a look!"
When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he quickly said: "No, let me pick him up in person! This will also show that you, Xiao Xuanzi, value him!"
"If you don't find it troublesome, just go there yourself!"
When Kangxi heard this, he also felt that it made some sense, so he returned to sit on the dragon throne.
Wei Xiaobao accepted the order and happily ran out of the study room and outside the palace.
As soon as Wei Xiaobao left, Kangxi called Wen Youdao at the door.
"Let Duolong come to see me!"
"Slave obeys the order!"
After Wen Youdao responded, he went to call Duolong, who was still just the commander of the guards.
This man was the imperial master recommended to Kangxi by Wei Xiaobao before he left Beijing. He was honest and loyal, and his martial arts was very good. After getting to know him these days, Kangxi was very satisfied with him.
If it weren't for the fact that the current head guard was a close confidant of Oboi, so as not to alert others, he would have been unable to resist promoting him to a higher position.
Not long after, Duolong came to the study to see him.
Kangxi said: "Duolong, I will meet with a martial arts master in the upper study room later. You will lead the twelve young eunuchs in the Bukuroom to wait nearby. I also want to see you, the imperial guards and wrestling warriors."
, compared with the martial arts masters from the Central Plains, who is stronger and who is weaker?"
Although Duolong has a straight temper, he is not a fool. He understood the emperor's implication that he wanted to test each other's martial arts with the twelve young eunuchs who trained in wrestling, so he immediately accepted the order.
After a while, the twelve young eunuchs from the department's warehouse also followed. After paying homage to the emperor, they stood in two rows.
After a while, Wei Xiaobao came all the way from outside the palace and brought Yang Guo into the palace.
After walking through corridors and courtyards, we finally arrived at the magnificent upper study room with painted cornices and carved beams.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Gui and the martial arts people from the Central Plains, Yang Guo is asking for an audience!"
Kangxi and Duolong winked and said loudly: "Xuan!"
After hearing the emperor's reply, Wen Youdao let Wei Xiaobao and Yang Guo enter the study room.
Yang Guo walked over with a calm expression and a majestic air, which was in sharp contrast to Wei Xiaobao's market aura. Kangxi never took his eyes off him since he stepped into the study room.
Although this man is relatively young, he has the bearing of a great master. Xiao Guizi really did not lie to me... Kangxi was secretly surprised, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel happy.
If you can keep this person for your own use, why worry about not getting rid of Obai?
In fact, the most important thing is that Kangxi did not think that Xiao Guizi dared to exaggerate the facts and deceive him, so he became more convinced after seeing the other party's Shen Xiruyuan temperament.
Rather than just relying on one-sided relationships.
However, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he naturally had his own magnanimity and did not step down from the throne to greet him enthusiastically like Wei Xiaobao.
When Wei Xiaobao saw Kangxi, he quickly saluted and said: "Slave, please pay homage to the Emperor!"
And Yang Guo slightly clasped his fists: "Song Min Yang Guo, I have met the emperor!"
Kangxi's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and he looked at him coldly and said: "Pingshen!"
Although the other party was not his subject, as the king of a country, he was not greeted with courtesy, which still made him feel that it undermined the imperial authority and made him feel dissatisfied.
Wei Xiaobao observed the words and expressions, and there was a sudden thought in his heart. He secretly blamed himself for bragging with Yang Guo when he came here, and did not discuss with him the etiquette when meeting the emperor.
Yang Guo naturally noticed the change in Kangxi's expression, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "You are not big, but you are not small!"
Not to mention that he was a man of the world, just because of his identity as a Han, he could not kneel down and salute the Manchu emperor at will. This was related to national justice, not personal feelings.
This is different from the fact that he paid homage to Zhao Zhijing because of Guo Jing's reputation.
Kangxi was indeed young, and he even looked about a year younger than Yang Guo.
However, although Kangxi was young, he had already understood the meaning of forbearance under the oppression of Obai since he was a child. The displeasure on his face flashed away, and then he pretended to be very friendly and asked:
"I wonder where Yang Shaoxia is from?"
Yang Guo had a calm expression on his face. Even if he was facing the king of a country, he did not show any timidity and said, "Yang's ancestral home is Lin'an."
What he reported was his former residence in Niujia Village, Lin'an.
Kangxi nodded slightly, then asked a few simple questions casually. After understanding his origins, he went straight to the topic and said: "I first took charge of the country, and I took charge not long ago. It was the time when I was employing people. Yang Shaoxia was very powerful in martial arts. I don't know.
Are you willing to join the temple and assist me?"
Yang Guo refused without thinking: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Yang is just a martial artist and has no intention of joining the temple!"
Then, he added: "Your Majesty may not know something. Yang went to the capital not for fame, wealth, gold, silver or silk. It's just that my brother, grateful for His kindness, specially asked me to help His Majesty! That's all.
Friendship.”
"When the matter is completed, Yang will retire with success. Please don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Kangxi was slightly startled after hearing this. Seeing that he spoke so decisively, he stopped trying to persuade him. When he looked at Wei Xiaobao again, his eyes were full of admiration.
Xiao Guizi is also a person who appreciates kindness. Don't blame me for treating him like this... Kangxi thought to himself.
