Martial arts? Are you kidding me? Everyone knows that the champion Hou Xiaorui is very skilled in martial arts. He once led three thousand cavalry into the grassland and returned victorious from thousands of miles away. How could I compete with him in this body?
Now it is no secret that Xiao Rui has lost all his martial arts skills. Many people know it, probably because Feng Zhidai is a newcomer from the south and the information is not available.
So Zhao Deyan decided to tell him, "Master Feng, the martial arts you said was the best in the world was already in the past. That year, Jieli bribed a large number of top assassins to assassinate him. Although the champion killed the assassins with one enemy and many, he was also involved in a drama. He was poisoned, and finally managed to save his life, but lost all his martial arts skills. Now, he is a real weak scholar."
this……
I see!
After hearing this, Feng Zhidai not only did not regret his wrong choice, but instead cursed angrily: "Damn Jieli, how could you use such a despicable method to deal with the champion? It's really abominable!"
Um? Seeing his reaction, Zhao Deyan couldn't help but take a high look, thinking that this young man is quite good. Although he is a bit arrogant, he still understands the general situation and clearly distinguishes the importance of public and private matters. Feng Ang gave birth to a good son, no wonder he is ranked fifth in the world.
"Oh, it's a pity that one of the most invincible gods of war in the Tang Dynasty has been killed. No wonder this Xiaojiazhuang needs such strict protection." Feng Zhidai said with emotion.
Zhao Deyan burst out laughing, "That's wrong, that's wrong. Xiaojiazhuang is so tightly defended, not to protect the champion, but to protect his family. The marquis does not need to be protected."
Um? What's the meaning?
"At the beginning, the assassin bribed by Jie Li couldn't get close, so he could only kidnap Mr. Hou's family and threaten him, forcing him to show up and fight. In order to prevent someone from repeating the same trick, we strictly guarded it."
"As for the Marquis himself? Haha, it turns out that a champion without martial arts is still worthy of the title of champion. Even more terrifying than him with martial arts! These are the original words of Turkic Khan Jieli."
Ahem...
Feng Zhidai asked weakly: "Is it really that powerful?"
"I think so, because we have experienced it ourselves. As for whether it is true or not? It depends on whether you are strong or not. Now, do you still have the confidence to compete with him?" Zhao Deyan smiled with a hint of provocation.
How could Feng Zhidai, with his young mind, bear this?
He raised his head slightly and said sternly: "Of course we will compete. I have learned to become a monk. If you can't compete with the strongest in the world and just bully the weak, what is your ability?"
"How about you choose to compete in martial arts?" Li Chengqian reminded in a low voice, "You can't win compared to others."
Feng Zhidai's face turned red and he said angrily: "A martial arts competition? You want me to pick the weak persimmon? Boy, can you say this? Who are you?"
Li Chengqian replied with sincerity: "I'm not mocking you, it's true. My brother-in-law has never lost. By the way, my name is Li Chengqian. The champion Hou Xiaorui is my brother-in-law."
"Hmph, no wonder I helped him speak, it turns out he is your brother-in-law. Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian... why does this name have the same name as the prince of the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhao Deyan smiled, "He is the Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
puff……
"Then you give lectures to the prince. Are you the prince's tutor?"
"I am not talented. I am promoted by His Majesty and the Champion Marquis. I am just taking my place temporarily."
"Shouldn't the Crown Prince and Crown Prince Fu be in the East Palace? Why are they in this rural village?" Feng Zhidai expressed confusion.
Zhao Deyan said with a smile: "It's nothing. The palace is too troublesome. The prince is still young. Living here is closer to the people. It is cleaner than the palace and suitable for studying. Not to mention the prince, the champion Hou Xiaorui and his family are different. Live here?"
"Oh, by the way, the Supreme Emperor also lives here for retirement. This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, pleasant scenery, and is safe and clean. It is like a paradise."
Is the Supreme Emperor also here? Ahem...
Feng Zhidai looked around quickly, thinking that he might not recognize someone he encountered, and that he would be disrespectful of etiquette.
The prince explained: "My grandpa just left this morning, and the New Year is about to begin. He is going back to the palace to celebrate the New Year, and will come back after the New Year."
Oh oh, okay, okay...
Wait, you just left not long ago this morning? Could it be...that old man riding a four-wheeled carriage that I met on the road? I……
"Not long ago, I walked to the entrance of the village and met a four-wheeled carriage driven by an old man. There were two old men playing chess inside. May I ask who they are?"
Zhao Deyan stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The person driving the car is the king's chamberlain serving the Supreme Emperor. In the car are the Supreme Emperor and Pei Ji and Pei Shangshu."
puff……
It's over, it's over, no wonder the old man feels so powerful, it turns out to be the Supreme Emperor... He, he doesn't hold grudges, right?
Seeing Feng Zhidai in a daze, Li Chengqian thought the other party was sorry, and quickly comforted him: "It's okay, we will meet again. Since you are the son of Lingnan Geng Guogong, you will definitely attend the New Year's Eve banquet, and you can be there by then." I saw Grandpa Huang in the palace."
Oh oh, I, I, I suddenly don’t want to see his old man. Feng Zhidai thought so in his heart, but did not dare to say it out.
Zhao Deyan asked with a smile: "Master Feng, since you want to challenge the champion, you must have a certain degree of confidence, why not show us your skills? It will also open the eyes of my two students and gain some knowledge."
Feng Zhidai thought for a while and felt that it would be good to get to know Zhao Deyan while Xiao Rui was away, so he did not refuse.
"I have already seen Champion Hou's calligraphy in Chang'an. That kind of self-created font that attacks from all sides is indeed superb, but it has no form but no charm. If I beat him with other fonts, it would not be considered my ability. , so I took the time to practice two strokes in the past two days, and I thought it was better than his."
As he said that, he walked to the desk in the study, laid out the paper and pen and ink, and praised it by the way: This paper is good and excellent. With a stroke of the pen, I wrote a couplet in thin gold style: There is a road to the mountain of books, and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of learning, and the boat is made of hard work.
Zhao Deyan and others leaned over to watch it and nodded, "It's good, it's really well written."
"how?"
Zhao Deyan stroked his beard and commented: "Master Feng is a great talent. If this is really the foundation of two days of practice, then there is no doubt that your talent is better than that of the champion."
Well, of course...wait, what did you just say? Better talent than him? What's the meaning? My handwriting is not as good as his?
"May I ask, Sir, where did you see the champion's calligraphy treasure in Chang'an City?"
Feng Zhidai pointed in the direction of Chang'an City, "It's the best calligraphy and painting shop in the east city of Chang'an City. The most conspicuous thing inside is the work of Vice Champion Hou. There is a road to the book mountain and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of learning and hard work." Zuozhou. The shop owner said that it was the handwriting of the champion."
puff……
Several other people in the study burst into laughter, especially Li Chengqian and Yang Zhengdao, who laughed until their stomachs hurt.
Feng Zhidai was confused.
Zhao Deyan resisted and explained: "Sir, you have been deceived by profiteers. Every owner of a calligraphy and painting shop in Chang'an City said that the paintings he hung were authentic works by the champion Hou. In fact, they were all copied by others. Authentic works, not to mention a calligraphy and painting shop, even His Majesty only has two pairs in his hands. They are really hard to find."
What? ? ? I, I... So, the font I learned is fake?
