"Second princess, what brought you here again?" Yelv Xingtong, the leader of the Salt Gang, said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Have you ever heard of the martial arts competition at Hanjian Villa to recruit a bride?" Helian Changying asked.
"The whole world of Great Zhou has been buzzing with news. How could I not know about it?"
"Then what do you think is suspicious?"
"Appreciate further details?"
"The name of the woman competing for marriage is Qi Xu. She is a recent disciple of Yu Wen Chongxiao. I heard that there was also a thirty-year-old senior brother who was taken to the villa by Yu Wen Chongxiao. That old guy has not confiscated his disciples for decades.
, how come two apprentices suddenly appeared? I doubt..."
"What does the princess suspect?"
"I suspect that Yuwen Lingyun is back! My father just killed Yuwen Chongxiao, and within a month he started a martial arts competition to recruit a bride. Don't you think it's strange? I want to take a look." Helian Changying said.
"It should be so." Yelu Xingtong nodded in agreement.
"But there are no masters around me anymore, and the new ones sent by Jintang are just useless people."
"Do you need me to accompany you for a while?"
"That's Hanjian Villa! I wonder if the boss is willing to condescend to go with us?"
"Princess, don't say that. Isn't that just trying to offend me? For no other reason than for your majesty's inheritance, I should accompany the second princess on this trip!"
…
"Your Highness, are you really ready to go to Hanjian Villa?" Ye Cai asked.
"good?"
"That Qi Xumei is beautiful, but as cold as ice, and the timing is wrong..."
"Um?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I still want to say a few words. Hanjian Villa is no better than other places. Your Majesty has just killed Yu Wen Chongxiao. If you go there again for beauty, you must be careful not to displease Your Majesty!"
"Senior brother, you don't understand this. The old man has taken away many important positions from us. Now I have to learn from my elder brother, understand? Besides, what's wrong with me going to Hanjian Villa on behalf of my father?" He
Company Commander Yoshidao. After becoming the crown prince, apart from this title, his strength has not increased but decreased. The only places he can really rely on are the wooden hall and a few places.
"Your Highness, I think it's because I'm stupid, but, after all, this is Hanjian Villa..."
"Call Deputy Hall Master Yelu as well." Of course Helian Changji knew to be careful.
"Didn't you say that you can only bring one person? Do you want to call Hall Master Shangyan?" Ye Cai, who is also the deputy hall master, asked.
"Who is Gu? Are those rules useful to Gu? I can't see through Hall Master Yan, so I don't need to take him with me. In another year and a half, I will find a way to make him retire on his own."
"yes!"
…
"Have you found out what happened?" Helian Qingfeng's left shoulder was wrapped with thick gauze, and the wound was only half an inch away from his heart.
"We don't have any people in Hanjian Villa, and I don't understand why they are holding a competition to attract a bride at this time." Yu Qingdu, the master of the Shuitang Hall, said.
"Then go figure it out." Helian Qingfeng was quite unhappy.
"Yes. About the recruitment..." Yu Qingdu asked.
"Shen Ai Liao, what do you think?" Helian Qingfeng turned to ask another person in the dormitory.
Shen Tinggu said: "Wei Chen thinks it's better to postpone it. Although Yuwen Chongxiao lost the bet, the people in the villa are unstable at this time. If we push too hard, something may happen."
"This is what I meant, too," Yu Qingdu added.
"Then make an agreement with the Villa and postpone it for one month. Now is the time to recruit people. We must find a way to recruit more experts from Hanjian Villa."
"Yes." Both of them nodded.
Shen Tinggu sighed again and said, "It would be great if Yuwen Chongxiao could go back and die in Hanjian Villa."
"What can I do if the old man refuses to admit defeat?" Helian Qingfeng said bitterly. In that shocking decisive battle, he had firmly suppressed his opponent in terms of realm, but he still could not stop Yuwen from shooting a fatal sword in the sky.
, a month has passed since the sharp edge of that sword, but Helian Qingfeng still has lingering fears.
"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince has already left for Hanjian Villa." Yu Qingdu whispered.
"Hmph, he has the same virtue as his brother! Hall Master Shen, please come into the villa this time, take care of the traitor, and let him bring this bet to Yuwen Lingfeng; Hall Master Yu, I will
The people from Mingtu Hall will cooperate with you and monitor every move of Hanjian Villa. You should not enter the villa to avoid the villa's random thoughts." Helian Qingfeng handed Shen Tinggu a scroll of sheepskin that he and Yuwen Chongxiao had drawn.
…
"Brother, what is this?" Yuwen Lingyun took a roll of yellowed sheepskin and asked in a low voice.
Yu Wen Lingfeng, the temporary owner of the village, said: "This is the bet between father and Helian Qingfeng! Twenty-five years ago, Helian Qingfeng, who was still a prince, thought he was invincible in martial arts and came to challenge his father. My father didn't want to pay attention.
He, but Helian Qingfeng just couldn't stop pestering him. At that time, his father made a condition: if he won, he would be exempted from twenty years of military service at Hanjian Villa.
Helian Qingfeng, who was in charge of most of the army, agreed, and the two fought in the valley behind Zhuangzi. In the end, his father won. The contract was signed in the Villa. Twenty-five years have passed, and the court has not mentioned it.
Regarding military service, but just at the beginning of last month, my father suddenly received a letter of challenge from Helian Qingfeng, asking him to come to the palace for another fight, and the bet was still twenty years of military service!"
"It must be Helian Qingfeng who tricked him! Brother, we are about to get married, and I will issue a challenge to Helian Qingfeng!" Yuwen Lingyun gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Don't be stupid. Didn't you see the injuries on my father's body? I suspect that the dog emperor has broken through to the golden light realm. When he went to the capital this time, Yan Wuji quietly told me that before he issued a letter of challenge to his father, Helian Qingfeng had just
After being in seclusion for a month, he is the same martial arts fanatic as his father, so there should be no dirty tricks in the martial arts competition. It's a pity that your father was only happy after you came back for less than two months, and then..." Shang Gong Lingfeng said sadly.
road.
"When I come back this time, I might even bring trouble to the Villa..." Yuwen Lingyun said half a sentence before bowing his head and saying nothing.
"What are you thinking about? What are we afraid of at Hanjian Villa? Brother, that girl is really good. If the person you are looking for doesn't come, just go up and challenge her!" Yu Wen Lingfeng patted his brother on the shoulder.
"I have given up on love, brother, there is no need to say more." Yuwen Lingyun said decisively.
Yu Wen Lingfeng just smiled faintly, because as long as he mentioned that woman, he could catch a hint of warmth like the spring breeze blowing in his brother's eyes.
…
After sobering up the next day, He Qizhou asked everyone in the wine shop the location of Hanjian Villa. Unfortunately, no one knew the location, so he had to go to Fuji Clothing Store first and visit his old friend, Fushan, the helmsman of the Lotus Gang in Qingcheng.
Fushan did not expect that He Qizhou, who was wanted nationwide, was actually in Qingcheng. When he heard that He Qizhou had decided to participate in a martial arts contest to recruit a bride, he drew a simple map detailing how to walk and where to stay along the way.
He Qizhou again begged Fushan to prepare two fast horses for him, but Fushan agreed immediately and went to the outside of the city to arrange the horses, so that He Qizhou could go to Kuocheng Mill to pick up the horses in the afternoon.
After He Qizhou bid farewell to Fushan, went back to the wine shop and called Luo Yu, and then left the city to get the horse, the sky had already turned dark before the two of them walked out of Qingcheng.
Hanshan Jianzhuang is located among the peaks of Yinshan Mountain, five hundred miles northwest of Qingcheng. It has always been a sacred place for martial arts in the hearts of Zhou people. According to Fushan, after entering the mountain, you must walk along the mountain trails for two to three days.
He Qizhou decided to drive in the dark and at least reach the small town at the foot of the mountain today, so that he could reach Hanjian Villa within three days. After dark, the two of them walked quickly along the official road for more than forty miles, about
At about midnight, we rushed to the Shannan town on the Fushan map.
There was one thing that kept He Qizhou on tenterhooks along the way, and that was the worry of running into Yu Wenrui! He had seen his current face more than once, and it would be difficult if he met him. And if that guy really wanted to compete in martial arts
It seems inevitable to bump into each other when recruiting a bride. Although it is a bit of a headache, He Qizhou has no choice but to act according to the situation.
Luo Yu, who was traveling with him, had his chest tied up, his face painted black, and he was dressed as a man. He still treated He Qizhou as master and disciple on the road. When the two rushed outside the only inn in the town, they found that the lights were brightly lit inside, and there seemed to be a quarrel coming from the inn.
"Go take a look and ask if there are any guest rooms. I'll wait for you outside." He Qizhou was worried that Yu Wenrui was among them.
Luo Yu said "Oh", dismounted and walked into the inn. After a while, he came back and said to He Qizhou: "Master, the inn has been full for a long time. The waiter said that all the people going to Hanjian Villa these days.
There are those who are going to compete in martial arts, and there are also people who are watching the excitement. Now there are three groups of people fighting for a woodshed."
"Have you seen Yu Wenrui?" He Qizhou asked again.
"If there are no people in the three groups, I don't know if there are any guests in the room." Luo Yu said.
"We'll find a sheltered place to spend the night outside the town. Tomorrow we'll follow the inn guests at a distance," He Qizhou said.
Luo Yu was used to sleeping in the open for a long time. The two found a stone platform with a high terrain to practice Qigong and adjust their breathing. However, He Qizhou felt that he could not calm down no matter what, and his mind was filled with the beautiful image of Xu Muxue.
The next day, the guests at the inn all set out very early. Some left before dawn, most of them were in groups of two, and some came in carriages with multiple entourages. He Qizhou, who had been looking at the treetops until the last group of guests,
After setting off, he got down from the tree and called Luo Yu to go on the road with him. However, when he got down from the tree, his face became very ugly.
"Master, have you discovered Yu Wenrui's toad?" Luo Yu's eyes were not that good, and all he saw was a silhouette.
"Yeah." He Qizhou nodded.
"How about we find a way to kill him quietly?" Luo Yu said with a ferocious expression, making a gesture of raising a knife and lowering it.
"He didn't do anything harmful. Besides, there were a total of twelve groups of toads coming out of the store, more than forty people, many of them experts. It's not that easy to kill him without knowing it." He Qizhou actually moved.
Have that thought.
"What should we do?" Luo Yu asked anxiously.
"The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge, let's follow it!" He Qizhou got on his horse, covered himself with a gauze, and decided to adapt to the situation. This chapter has been completed!
