Arriving at the Queen Mother's chamber, Murong Fu seemed upright and upright now compared to his sneakiness last night.
Helian Tieshu brought Murong Fu to a general guarding the place and introduced them to each other.
Murong Fu learned that the name of the person in front of him was Weiming Awu. The surname Weiming belonged to the royal family in Xixia, and they all belonged to a branch of the Qiang ethnic group.
The current emperor of the Xixia Kingdom was originally named Tuoba and was also a member of the Xianbei tribe. He was later given the surname Li by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of this matter, Murong Fu also found out after reading the Murong family's genealogy that his ancestors belonged to the Qiang clan.
It can be traced back as far as the Han Dynasty, when the Qiang people moved in large numbers to the Helong and Guanzhong areas and lived a primitive nomadic tribe life without knowing how to farm crops or remember the year with vegetation.
At that time, the surname was used as the name of the tribe, and the famous eight tribes of Dangxiang were gradually formed, among which the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei tribe was the strongest.
The Murong clan belongs to a branch of the Xianbei clan, but it was strong for a while, but eventually declined completely after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Unlike the Tuobo clan, which is the current emperor of the Xixia Kingdom, the Li clan, although they live in a corner, they are also a large country on the western frontier. In addition, occupying the land of Hetao, with abundant grain and strong soldiers and horses, it is really enviable.
Before Murong Fu went to the Xixia Kingdom, he deliberately learned about the Xixia political party system. Now the Xixia Emperor Li Qianshun basically has no real power. The power is concentrated in the hands of the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister Liang Qibu. Liang Qibu is a relative of the Queen Mother. Senior officials and ministers also moved closer to the two.
Murong Fu was not surprised at all that this handsome A Wu was a close confidant of the Queen Mother, and he held military power. He was able to appear here.
If he were a general of the Liao and Song Dynasties, he would be somewhat scornful of the so-called martial arts masters. However, as a close confidant of Li Qiu Shui, Wei Ming A Wu highly respected martial arts, so when facing Murong Fu, he did not have that superior feeling. , but seemed very humble.
After Helian Tieshu left, Weiming Awu took the initiative to chat with Murong Fu. His words were full of envy for the masters of the family, and he seemed to intend to let Murong Fu show off his skills.
Murong Fu picked up a fallen leaf on the ground, concentrated his inner strength on his fingertips, and heard a hiss. The soft leaf was like a hidden weapon made of fine iron, nailed to the tree stump nearby, and penetrated three-thirds of the way into the wood.
Wei Ming A Wu curiously stepped forward to check and reached out to pull out the leaf. Unexpectedly, it broke off with a little force.
"Mr. Li's martial arts is superb, I admire you!"
Weiming Awu imitated the etiquette of Jianghu people and hugged Murong Fu.
"General Weiming, you're too polite, but it's just a low-level trick, and it's really hard to achieve the level of elegance."
Murong Fu said modestly.
"That's not necessarily true. I have only seen Mr. Li's martial arts skills from one person in my life."
Weiming Awu praised him without hesitation.
Murong Fu pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there such a master? I wonder who he is? Can I ask General Wei Ming to recommend him?"
Weiming Awu's expression condensed, and he said with a smile: "I only met that master once, and I never had the chance to see him again!"
"At that time, I didn't even have time to find out the other party's name, which is a pity."
As if he was afraid that Murong Fu would continue to ask questions, he added another sentence.
Murong Fu pretended to have a regretful expression on his face, but in fact he was sneering in his heart. Aren't the so-called masters far away but right in front of us?
Murong Fu originally thought that he was specially transferred to protect the Queen Mother, maybe Li Qianshun did it intentionally, but now it seems that it is difficult to guarantee that it was not a test by the Queen Mother.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If you put yourself on the bright side, you can restrain yourself appropriately. If you really have second thoughts, you will definitely be exposed. Even if you are not the one who did it, you will have an extra protection. His own safe helper, this calculation is not without its depth.
But when Murong Fu thought about it, he felt that he should be blamed. He was too confident in his martial arts and thought that he would not be discovered, but unexpectedly, he showed his flaws and alerted the snake.
"Harm, I'm just here to get some experience and then leave. No matter what his machinations are, it won't affect me. But my good disciple, it's time for you to get to work!"
Murong Fu sighed and suddenly looked to the northwest, a faint light flashing in his eyes.
As time passed, it soon became night.
There was silence in the palace. To the northwest of Lingzhou City, a large mansion suddenly burned down, and the sky was filled with flames.
When the defenders of Lingzhou City arrived, they were so frightened that they quickly called for people to put out the fire.
I saw that the mansion in front of me was the residence of Helian Tieshu, the general of Zhengdong.
The fire spread to almost half of the general's mansion. After the fire was completely extinguished, most of the family members in the mansion were killed or injured. Some were burned to death, while others were brutally killed.
Helian Tieshu was seriously injured, but fortunately the defenders of the Imperial City arrived in time to save him.
When Murong Fu learned the news, he was already a subordinate of Helian Tieshu and brought him to see the Queen Mother.
As for why he asked to see the Queen Mother, it was because his injuries were a bit strange and could not be cured by medicine or stone.
While Wei Ming A Wu went to report to the Queen Mother, Helian Tieshu's face turned blue and he was covered with a thick blanket. He looked at Murong Fu and said in a weak tone: "Li Congfeng, look at my injury and see if it can be cured." possible?"
After Murong Fu walked in to check for a moment, he frowned and said: "Helian Zhengdong, you have suffered an extremely cold palm force. My subordinates are not proficient in the art of Qihuang, so I'm afraid I can't help you!"
When Helian Tieshu heard this, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, his lips turned purple, and he shivered from time to time. Even though he was wrapped in a thick blanket, he felt as if he was in an ice cellar.
Not long after, Weiming Awu came out and said that the Queen Mother invited her!
But Weiming Awu asked all the people who were accompanying him to step back, then he carried Helian Tieshu alone and walked towards the palace, and after a while he withdrew again.
As for the situation in the palace, it is unknown.
…
In the glorious hall.
Helian Tieshu was lying on the ground wrapped in a quilt like a meat dumpling, and then a gust of fragrant wind blew over. Li Qiushui, who covered his face with white silk and wore a long palace dress, walked out from behind the screen.
"Wei...Wei Chen...see the Queen Mother...the Queen Mother."
Helian Tieshu's condition became more and more serious at this moment. A layer of frost had already condensed on his temples and eyebrows. When he opened his mouth, white mist came out.
Li Qiu Shui did not speak, but glanced at Helian Tieshu, then pulled away the blanket covering him and found the palm print on his chest.
"Sure enough, it's this weird palm power!"
Li Qiushui's eyes were slightly cold, and the scene of the fight with the man in black last night appeared in his mind. When the man in black high-fived himself, the cold air in his palm was exactly the same as that on Helian Tieshu.
However, her skill was so high that she could easily resolve it, but how could Helian Tieshu, a reckless man, resist the extremely cold poison in this palm?
