Before dawn the next day, Chen Qing arranged a day of military training. He took some time off and rode to Fengyu Gate.
Fengyu Gate is located in the middle of Lin'an City, close to the West Lake. Chen Qing saw Huyan Zhengyan waiting for him at the city gate from a distance. Chen Qing turned over and dismounted from his horse and said with a smile: "I have kept Uncle Huyan waiting for a long time."
"Haha! I just came here too, let's go outside the city!"
Chen Qing was startled, "The land is outside the city?"
"Of course, outside the city, the closer you are to the West Lake, the better the location. In the future, you will be able to see the beautiful view of the West Lake while sitting in a restaurant. It is a first-class location."
"But what should I do when I return to the city at night?"
This was also what Chen Qing was most worried about. He found that the city gates closed very early, and every time they had a gathering, they had no fun and had to rush out of the city to go to the military camp.
Huyan Zhengyan smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The city wall near the West Lake will soon be demolished, leaving only the city gate. In this way, the imperial court can get a lot of land, otherwise there will be no place to build the official residence."
Everyone knows this news, so the land near the West Lake is getting more and more expensive, and the price varies every month. A month ago, the land price in West Lake was 3,000 guan per acre, but now it has risen to 4,000 guan."
The two of them quickly arrived at the Huyan family's land. It was indeed close to the West Lake and less than fifty steps away from the West Lake. Many land plots here were under construction and it was extremely lively. The size of the land was about four acres.
Build a restaurant and a big yard.
"Isn't there anyone buying the lot in front?" Chen Qing asked, pointing to the lot in front closer to the lake.
Huyan Zhengyan said proudly: "The land in front is not allowed to build houses. It belongs to the government. I heard that a large cruise ship pier will be built. It will be very lively in the future. It will be surrounded by restaurants, teahouses, inns, brothels, and churches.
Square.”
The location was indeed very good, and Chen Qing was very satisfied. He said happily: "It's settled then. The officials will reward me with three thousand taels of silver, and I'll invest all of it."
Huyan Zhengyan said happily: "Come to my house for dinner at noon! We can sign the contract by the way, and then the old man wants to see you."
...........
Hu Yanqing's grandfather was called Hu Yan Feihu. He was also a member of the Western Army and was given the title of Marquis of Jinchang. He just celebrated his 70th birthday at the beginning of the year. Although he is already 70 years old, he is not deaf, his eyesight is not dazzled, and he walks smoothly.
Healthy.
When Chen Qing saw him, he was in the pavilion in the back garden instructing his 13-year-old grandson Hu Yancha to practice whipping. The iron whip can be said to be the unique skill of the Huyan family. Their ancestor Huyanzan used a pair of iron whips to beat people all over the world.
The iron whip is a kind of striking weapon, which is actually the same thing as the mace and hammer. It pays attention to simple moves and strong strength to win.
However, Hu Yancha danced like a sword drill, his moves were dazzling, and the wind roared loudly, making people worry that he would break his head with a whip.
At this time, Huyan Zhengyan stepped forward and whispered a few words to his father, and pointed at Chen Qing. Only then did Huyan Feihu look back at Chen Qing.
Chen Qing hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and paid homage, "Junior Chen Qing, see Mr. Huyan!"
Huyan Feihu looked Chen Qing up and down, his rough eyebrows gradually raised, "You were the one who killed Wanyan Loushi?"
Chen Qing knew it was bad as soon as he heard it. Hu Yantong said that his grandfather was known as a martial arts fanatic, and his biggest hobby was to compete with masters. It didn't matter if he liked martial arts, the key was that he couldn't afford to lose.
The old man is a martial arts theorist and can speak eloquently about everything, but his own martial arts skills are terrible.
But he also likes to compete with masters, and most people still look down on him. If you let him win, he won't do it, saying that you are not sincere. If you let him lose, he will not do it, saying that you don't give him face.
So that's what "laoxiao laoxiao" means. The older a person is, the more he looks like a child.
In fact, Chen Qing doesn't care about any of his halberd skills. For someone who loses nine times out of ten in a martial arts competition, he probably isn't that good at halberd skills either.
Chen Qing, like everyone else who visited Mr. Huyan, had another thought.
The old man has treasures. He has collected a large number of high-quality weapons, especially the halberds he uses himself. He has collected more than a dozen light halberds. He has a Fang Tian painted halberd weighing fifty kilograms, which is said to be the only one in the Song Dynasty. Chen Qing is very impressed.
longing for.
"It's the junior!"
"You must have some martial arts skills to kill Wanyan Loushi, and you are qualified to fight with me. Let's go! Let's go to the martial arts training ground and have a good fight."
Huyan Zhengyan was so frightened that his face changed, and he didn't know how to persuade his father.
Chen Qing said calmly: "Old man, I'm afraid I can't compete with you yet?"
"Why?"
Chen Qing pointed to his left shoulder, "I was shot by a Jurchen with an arrow here, which injured my muscles and bones. The military doctor said it will take at least half a year to recover."
Huyan Feihu's face sank, "Yesterday Kogoro said you killed Zhang Kui, how did you do it?"
Chen Qing secretly complained that Hu Yantong was too talkative, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "How can an ant thief like Zhang Kui compare with you?"
This flattery makes even Huyan Zhengyan feel ashamed.
Huyan Feihu suddenly relaxed his beard and hair, and all the 36,000 pores in his body felt as refreshed as if he had eaten ginseng fruit.
I guess he hasn't been praised like this for many years.
"I didn't expect you to be quite discerning. It's such a pity. I originally thought you were qualified to compete with me, but hey! I'll have to do it next time."
It seems that flattering can't solve the problem. If Chen Qing wants to get Huyan Feihu's treasure, he still has to show his true skills to let Huyan Feihu defeat him.
Chen Qing rolled his eyes and said: "Old man, why don't we change the way of fighting!"
Huyan Feihu became interested again, "How to compete in martial arts?"
"Have you ever heard of sand table deduction?"
.........
Huyan Feihu showed off his theoretical power and defeated Chen Qing in three consecutive games, leaving no trace behind.
The old man has a profound knowledge of martial arts and has an endless stream of strange and strange moves. Some of them are so imaginative that they can't even be drawn in animation. As for Chen Qing's various moves, he solved them all in an understatement while talking and laughing.
"Come! Come! Come! Let's review the battle between you and Wanyan Loushi again and see if you could still win if it were me."
There is no need to go into details about the process. Chen Qing's decisive move to kill Wanyan Loushi was caused by Mr. Hu Yan, who ignored the existence of the earth's gravity and kicked Chen Qing off his horse first.
Four to zero, a complete victory!
Of course, allowing Mr. Huyan to defeat the masters with his own true skills is a skill in itself, and the rewards are naturally full. As a kind of encouragement to the younger generation, Mr. Huyan gave him a Fangtian Painted Halberd that he has treasured for many years.
Gave it to Chen Qing.
........
Chen Qing said goodbye and left, and Hu Yanzhengyan found his father.
"My father didn't even sell the Fangtian Painted Halberd when Gao Qiu paid 10,000 yuan, but he actually gave it to Chen Qing?"
Huyan Zhengyan is a businessman, so of course he feels a little distressed by this big loss-making business.
Huyan Feihu glared at him, "What do you know? Do you think that only buying land is an investment? This is also an investment for me, for the long-term investment of the Huyan family, do you understand?"
"Father is so optimistic about Chen Qing?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't I be optimistic about someone who can be promoted to a leader by an official?"
Huyan Feihu sighed, "This child is highly gifted, talented, kind, smart, and adaptable. He is also capable of making me so happy. Let Kogoro make friends with him, and our Huyan family will rise again."
Maybe it should be on him."
Huyan Zhengyan rolled his eyes, "Since my father values him so much, why not let Yi Zhangqing give it a try?"
........
On the military camp grounds, the soldiers around him kept cheering loudly and were extremely excited.
I saw a Song Dynasty version of the Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu taking place on the school grounds.
Hu Yantong brandished a gold-backed wild goose feather sword, Liu Qiong held a spear, and Zheng Ping brandished a spear. The three of them attacked Chen Qing in the middle from three directions.
Chen Qing was trying out the stainless steel Fangtian Painting Halberd he had just obtained, stabbing left and slashing right. Although he was one against three, he was not embarrassed and used it freely. He killed three of them in just a dozen encounters and could only parry.
And had no power to fight back.
This fangtian painted halberd is not exaggerated. It has a smooth shape and exquisite workmanship. It is made of extremely rare fine steel and is extremely sharp. Mr. Huyan told him that this was a weapon left by Gao Huaide, the famous founding general of the country.
What particularly surprised Chen Qing was that this Fang Tian painted halberd was a spear-based halberd. The crescent halberd blades on both sides were narrow and used to assist in chopping, which was particularly suitable for his epee skills.
On the other side of the school ground, Commander Han Shizhong stood. He had just arrived and was wiping his beard and watching the fierce battle on the school ground.
It was said before that Chen Qing gunned down Wanyan Lou's family. Although Han Shizhong admired it very much, he also believed that it was because Wanyan Lou's family was seriously ill.
But today Chen Qing defeated three generals, but Han Shizhong saw that Chen Qing did not use all his strength and left a lot of room. At least, he did not use his strength advantage.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and I am afraid that I am no longer a match for this young man. Han Shizhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought of another young general Yue Fei.
