"Who the hell are you? How dare you stand in my way?"
Liang Xiao stared, full of anger.
It looked out of place with his gentle face.
He saw Xu Xingmu wearing a plain-colored gown with mud splattered on the cuffs and hem. He looked down and out, so he ignored it.
A country bumpkin who has never seen the world actually dares to challenge me!
It is true that Xu Xingmu did not know Liang Xiao.
But it is not difficult to judge from the other party's unscrupulous behavior that the other party is a top powerful person.
And it's the kind that few people dare to mess with.
I'm so excited! ...Xu Xingmu was a little annoyed, "I started to stand out when I first entered the capital. If I really want to cause trouble, I will be taught how to be a good person. I won't be able to explain to the folks in Taoyuan County when I go back! Oh, it's all my damn sense of justice!"
Lin Qing's voice rang in his ears in time, "Brother Xu, this man's name is Liang Xiao, and he is the only son of Wu Linghou Liang Silong... He is a well-known dandy in the capital. His actions are the most absurd and domineering. You want to Be worried.”
It’s Wu Linghou again!
Xu Xingmu frowned, and he suddenly thought of the golden-armored general Qin Zhan who wanted to take him back to the capital by force.
"Why, are the people in the Marquis Mansion so unreasonable? Are they robbing people everywhere?"
Xu Xingmu muttered a few words subconsciously, but he couldn't control his emotions well. His tone was slightly unkind and his voice was a bit loud.
Liang Xiao happened to hear it.
Now, the dude was so angry that he turned livid. He left the unconscious girl and strode up to Xu Xingmu. Without saying a word, he waved his hand and slapped her in the face, "Vulgar savage! How dare you run wild in the capital!" Go back to your cave!"
Although Liang Xiao had a strong temper, he didn't have much strength. Especially after being drained by drinking and sex over the years, he looked even more frail.
This slap is somewhat lethal to women, but for Xu Xingmu, who has just entered the swordsmanship, it is a bit careless.
Xu Xingmu pinched Liang Xiao's wrist with his backhand, and the joints between his fingers were slightly forceful. Liang Xiao screamed in pain on the spot, "You bitch! How dare you do something to me?"
"The young master from the capital is too rude!"
Xu Xingmu didn't want to be too pretentious, but the sword intention in his body arose slightly, and the sword master's sword body left a faint aura of awe, which invisibly changed his will and aura, making him fearless, and he opened his mouth to say The dual commanding heights of law and morality, "Under the emperor's feet, you dare to violate civilian women in the street. It is already a serious crime. Now you are talking unscrupulously and actively hurting others. I will kill you on the spot and file a lawsuit with the Third Law Department. My reason!"
Liang Xiao was sweating profusely in pain, but he didn't hesitate to say, "Bitch, do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are?"
Xu Xingmu became more courageous when he saw that melon-eating crowds had gathered around him. He clasped Liang Xiao's hands behind his back and said loudly, "The emperor has violated the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Let's go! Follow me to see the official!"
"Meet the official?"
Liang Xiao scolded angrily, "All the officials in Tai'an City have to kowtow when they see me! You bitch, just wait! I will definitely kill your whole family!"
He is so arrogant that even if his hands are tied, he can't stop him from spewing the fragrance from his mouth.
But Xu Xingmu didn't like him at all. He opened his bow left and right at the broken mouth and slapped the young prince into confusion.
"If you hadn't had a good father, would you still be alive today?"
Xu Xingmu came close to Liang Xiao's ear and spoke coldly.
The three peak sword spirits left in the body of the sword master sensed his change of mind and began to let out bursts of sword chants, as if asking if they needed help.
Xu Xingmu rejected it.
Are you kidding me? It's just Liang Xiao. He can figure it out every minute. How can he use those three sword intentions?
But having said that, was my reaction and performance today too strong? It seems that he is becoming more and more influenced by the Juggernaut.
Too freewheeling, fearless and unafraid.
Regardless of whether it’s good or bad, it’s definitely fun!
After half a breath, Xu Xingmu kicked Liang Xiao's butt, held him and walked to the punishment department.
Lin Qing sighed and followed behind silently.
To be honest, he admired Brother Xu's courage.
At the same time, I was also a little ashamed.
He asked himself that if he were walking here alone and saw Liang Xiao violating civilian women, he would probably turn around and leave.
At most, you have to show your attitude, offer good words, and then get scolded before turning around and leaving.
Although the scholars in the Hanlin Academy are arrogant and righteous, they do not necessarily draw their swords to help when the road is rough.
There are always power considerations.
At least, they couldn't draw their swords when they met the people from the Marquis Mansion.
Of course, Xu Xingmu was an accident.
Along the way, the crowd of onlookers automatically parted to make way for Xu Xingmu, each with a gleam in his eyes.
"Who is this person? He is so brave!"
Someone in the crowd of onlookers suddenly exclaimed, "He dares to touch Wu Linghou's son! What a terrifying young man!"
"What should I be afraid of in the future? I'm just a fool!"
Someone spoke again, full of disdain, "Don't look at his majesty now. Wait for the people from the Marquis Mansion to come over later and see how he begs for mercy! I think this person will lose his skin even if he doesn't die!"
"That's right! What will happen to anyone who offends the young Marquis? But then again, doesn't the young Marquis go out without a guard? Why hasn't anyone come to the rescue yet?"
"Haha, what kind of guards do you need? Who in the whole Tai'an City doesn't know the reputation of Liang Xiao in the Marquis Mansion? Ordinary people can't hide when they encounter him, how could they imagine that there is a tiger who dares to hold him hostage in public? It's really a big mistake. ! But don’t worry, the boss of Rouge House should have already reported the letter. I believe it won’t be long before the Marquis Mansion will send someone over... Hey! What am I talking about? Look over there!"
…
Everyone looked forward and saw a line of armored soldiers galloping along the long street, swords in hand, all of them with cold eyes as they quickly entered the arena.
At the head, a red-faced man held a heavy sword and walked ahead. Halfway through, he suddenly jumped up and dropped the sword without saying a word, aiming directly at Xu Xingmu!
The sword fell straight down, and before it touched the ground, a scene of cold sword energy was unleashed, running wildly along the way, slashing the crowds of people to their backs.
The people who were eating melons suffered an unreasonable disaster, but they did not dare to complain. They rolled and crawled away from the best viewing stand and only dared to watch from a distance.
Xu Xingmu's face darkened. He had just entered the world of cultivation and had not yet perfected the ninth-level swordsmanship. He could properly fight against the five scum.
Judging from the strength displayed by the red-faced man, he has reached at least the sixth level, and he is a martial artist with extremely strong melee combat. If he is tough, he will definitely be killed instantly.
Moreover, the opponent was not just a red-faced man. The armored soldiers accompanying him all had stern expressions and long auras. At first glance, they were military masters.
Just pick one out and you'll be able to beat yourself up.
Xu Xingmu sighed and made a quick decision, "Escape!"
As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly squatted down, first used Liang Xiao to block the knife, and forced the red-faced man to twist the knife's energy. Then he bent slightly, and all the real energy in his body poured into his legs. When he stood up again, his whole body The person flew into the sky like a cannonball and fell into another street a hundred feet away.
"Guan Hong, kill him!"
Liang Xiao got up with difficulty, pointed at Xu Xingmu in the distance and gritted his teeth, "Find out his details and kill everyone within three generations!"
"Don't worry, Master."
The red-faced man named Guan Hong responded calmly. He took a step forward, and a hundred feet away was at his feet. He raised his sword again, and a magnificent sword energy fell from the sky. The light of the sword suddenly appeared, and in an instant the entire long street was covered. cover.
Xu Xingmu was immersed in the pleasure of free fall and before he could react, he felt a chill in his heart. When he looked up, the sky was no longer there, only pale white.
Is that, Dao Guang?
As if he sensed a threat from the outside world, Xu Xingmu's sword intent was awe-inspiring and he was ready to protect his master on his own.
But a voice suddenly appeared at the other end of the long street. It was clear and upright, and it was deafening and enlightening. "A gentleman observes etiquette and does not use weapons!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a mysterious rule seemed to have fallen between heaven and earth. Everyone present felt at peace instantly, and the emotions in their eyes became calm and stable.
The armored soldiers frowned slightly, and the murderous intent that had aroused them slowly subsided.
Liang Xiao, who was cursing non-stop, opened his mouth wide. He obviously wanted to spit out bad things, but when the words reached his throat, it seemed as if someone was holding his throat and he couldn't curse.
After a long, long time, it was extremely difficult to say two words, "I...bastard!"
As for the heavy knife that fell from the sky, it hung and stopped three feet away from Xu Xingmu.
No matter how the sword energy roared, it still couldn't get any closer.
The air seemed to be stagnant, and countless pairs of eyes looked towards the direction of the sound.
Be cautious and respectful.
Guan Hong also looked at him coldly, with the fierce light of the sword flashing in his eyes.
At the end of the long street, Lin Qing was seen walking slowly with his hands behind his back and his magnanimous eyes, full of Confucianism and Taoism, under the gaze of everyone.
"Sixth-grade Confucian cultivator!"
Guan Hong took a look at Lin Qing's official robe, her eyebrows skipped a beat, "A student at the Hanlin Academy!"
"General, please give me some face and take your sword back."
Lin Qing stood in front of Xu Xingmu, with a very light expression in his eyes. He first dissipated his Confucian magical powers, and then said calmly, "What happened today is purely a misunderstanding."
The scholars in the Hanlin Academy were the most difficult to deal with. Guan Hong was a martial artist and did not want to deal with them.
What's more, the student in front of me is still a Confucian scholar, and has reached the sixth rank. He has the ability to speak and follow the rules to a certain extent, so he is not so easy to deal with.
If possible, Guan Hong doesn't mind giving the other person face.
Many favors will make things easier for the court in the future.
Unfortunately, today's protagonist is not him, but Liang Xiao.
In Mr. Liang's dictionary, there was never such a term as "selling face".
"Who the hell are you trying to save face with me?"
Liang Xiao cursed and rushed up, pointed at Lin Qing's nose and cursed, "I know you! Downstairs in the pilgrimage, I followed that dead old man Wang Zhihuan to present poems, and you were the one who stole the show, right?"
"Exactly down there."
When Lin Qing heard the words "dead old man", he was immediately unhappy. He frowned and reminded, "Please don't hurt others with your words."
"I'll paralyze you!"
Liang Xiao became even more furious for some reason, almost going crazy, "Do you know that if a group of rotten scholars from your Hanlin Academy had not come out that day, my song "Spring Wind and Sword Rain in Thirteen Continents" would have been the only one praised by the sword master that day. Poetry!"
"Do you know how much I spent to buy that poem? Three hundred thousand taels! A total of three hundred thousand taels of silver! I specially asked the old man from the South who is best at poetry to spend three days polishing it! It originally won The Sword Master's praise is already a pleasant surprise, and I have gained face with His Majesty, but I don't want to be disturbed by you rotten people! Do you think you should die?"
As soon as he said this, there was a cautious discussion among the crowd of people watching from across the street, "It turns out that the poem written by Xiao Houye was bought! No wonder! That's what I'm saying! On weekdays, I only hear him drinking and listening to music. Playing with women, have you ever heard the name of his poem?"
"These days, being rich and powerful is more important than anything else... Just think of those old teaching gentlemen in the South. They are usually the most aloof and arrogant, but they still lost their bottom line as scholars in front of a mere three hundred thousand taels. ?”
"A mere three hundred thousand taels? You guys really dare to say that three hundred thousand taels is enough to buy your life! But then again, even a comprehensive work bought for three hundred thousand taels can't completely impress the sword master, then A strange poem from Taoyuan County can make the sword master fall in love at first sight, which shows that the author of that strange poem must be such a magnificent person."
"That's right! I don't know when he will come to the capital, so I can ask him for an autograph."
"..."
Lin Qing was stunned at this time. He also didn't expect that Liang Xiao's song "Spring Wind, Sword Rain and Thirteen Continents" was actually bought, and it cost such a huge amount of silver. Why bother?
He sighed, "Little Marquis, the art of poetry is all about purity. If you use the poems you bought to please the sword master, isn't it..."
Liang Xiao didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, so he interrupted directly and snarled as usual, "That bastard named Xu Xingmu in Taoyuan County is your father? Is it worth the risk of being disrespectful to dedicate a poem to him in public? Or do you think people will miss you?" With this love, I will come to the capital to have a drink and talk with you in the future, or even work together in the same court?"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his saliva almost sprayed on Lin Qing's face, "I tell you, you have a beautiful idea! Even if he comes, he will only come to my father's door obediently! So what if he can write poetry?" So what if you are favored by the Sword Master? As long as you enter the Marquis Palace, you will be my dog. If I want him to write poetry, I will write poetry. If I want him to eat shit, he will have to eat shit!"
Liang Xiao's vulgarity has exceeded the limit of Lin Qing's tolerance. This Hanlin Academy attendant who has been treating others with courtesy since entering the Confucian cultivation realm was silent for a long time, trying to stay calm and focused with the blessing of the sixth-grade Confucianism and Taoism rules. .
He waited quietly for Liang Xiao to finish speaking, and then took advantage of the moment when the other party's emotions were at their highest to give the other party the most painful blow in the calmest way, "Little Marquis, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to let you Disappointed, Brother Xu may be destined to miss you...because he has officially joined our Hanlin Academy."
His voice was not loud, nor was his tone strong, just the most straightforward and plain talk.
But to Liang Xiao, it sounded like a lightning strike, making him freeze in place.
He stared at Lin Qing blankly, and it took him a long time to regain his composure. He pretended to be relaxed and sneered, "Join your Hanlin Academy? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to mess with my mood?"
Lin Qing smiled, said nothing, but suddenly took a step aside.
Behind him was Xu Xingmu, whose face was filled with a gloating smile.
"I have indeed joined the Hanlin Academy, and the imperial edict has been handed over to Master Wang, the Hanlin scholar. If you don't believe it, you can ask your people to inquire. Master Wang should be in the palace at the moment."
Xu Xingmu spoke with a smile. He thought he was handsome, but in Liang Xiao's eyes, he looked disgusting.
"Bitch, do you have the right to speak? Our affairs are not over yet!"
Liang Xiao first warned, then was shocked, and asked belatedly, "Are you just..."
"Yes, he is Xu Xingmu!"
Lin Qing said, "Now I am the editor of the Hanlin Academy, my colleague."
Xu Xingmu immediately took over, "To be honest, the Marquis Mansion also sent a general to recruit me, but I heard that before entering the Marquis Mansion, you have to learn to be a dog first, and you may have to eat shit. I'm a little scared. , so I rejected him.”
