In the Second Prince's Mansion, Chu Qian received a secret letter handed over by his subordinates. After reading it, he was silent for a moment without saying a word. Then he put the secret letter in his hand to the candlestick next to him and lit the flames. With a slight shake, the piece of paper was quickly ignited, and in just a moment, it was completely reduced to ashes.
Chu Qian, who was wearing a snow-white mink fur, held his hands together, leaned on the table in front of him, put his arms on the table, and then slightly parted, using his hands as the fulcrum, he formed a triangle and stood on the table.
The thumbs of both hands were raised again, and the chin rested on the left and right thumbs. He looked forward, but his sight was very scattered and aimless. After that, he kept this action blankly, motionless for a long time, like a clay-body stone sculpture. The statue is general.
After about a cup of tea, the door of the room was pushed open and an old man walked in.
"Your Highness, the champion has returned to the court! Niu Faqing and Gong Ke failed~"
The person who spoke was none other than Zhao Yuancai, the second prince’s aide.
Chu Qian didn't make any big move, he just raised his eyes, glanced at Zhao Yuancai, and then stopped paying attention. After a while, he said softly: "I know!"
The White Lotus Sect's uprising was so sudden that the capital was caught off guard. The capital camp lost its troops and returned in defeat. The capital was panicked. Unexpectedly, it ended up being like this. Jia Chu conquered it all by himself.
After a while, Chu Qian frowned, and then asked Zhao Yuancai, who was sitting aside: "Mr. Zhao, do you think there are such strange people in this world who can fly over walls and walls?"
When Zhao Yuancai heard this, he was slightly startled. Then he frowned, subconsciously stroked his beard, and pondered.
There was a jasper incense burner in the room. Strange incense was burning inside the burner. The smoke crawled out from the air holes on it, and then slowly spread out along the four grooves outside the incense burner. It was extremely strange.
It was so quiet in the room that you could even hear the sound of the scented mist dispersing. After a long time, Zhao Yuancai spoke again, "There should be some, just like the leader and deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect. They are all good at it, not only with fists and kicks. His kung fu is amazing, and it is said that he can hit acupuncture points from a distance, which is unpredictable!"
Hearing this, Chu Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he asked another question, "Can such a person be cultivated?"
Zhao Yuancai looked a little surprised, and then he looked at Chu Qian. The eyes of the Second Highness were flickering, and he didn't know if he was thinking of something good.
Although he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, he still had to remind him of some words. Zhao Yuancai said seriously: "Your Highness, such a thing is rare. I have never heard of a few in Dakang. The White Lotus Sect Those two are because I stayed in Jiangnan in my early years, and by chance I heard from the servants in my house."
"Actually, I have guessed a thing or two about what His Highness is thinking. Such a strange person is not as powerful as His Highness imagined. In the final analysis, he is still a mortal body. He cannot withstand the slashing of swords, the ruthlessness of water and fire, and he cannot withstand the army. Crush, if not for this, those people from the White Lotus Sect would not be hiding in the south of the Yangtze River, living in fear all day long, never seeing the light of day!"
Chu Gan listened on the sidelines without speaking, but his eyes flickered from time to time, indicating that his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Zhao Yuancai saw that Chu Qian didn't answer, so he continued talking on his own, "As for what the champion did, I'm afraid it was a coincidence, not what you thought. The group of people who appeared outside the city earlier were A group of ignorant people who didn't know how high the sky was or how thick the earth was were brainwashed by those two people. When something happened to Niu Faqing and Gong Ke, those people's illusions were shattered and the tone in their hearts was gone. Coupled with the title of Champion, this matter will not be difficult to explain!"
Hearing this, a trace of doubt appeared in Chu Qian's eyes, but he still did not speak.
"So, Your Highness, don't expect to gain power by following those sideways. What you should do now is to hide your strength and bide your time. If you have time, go to the Taihe Palace more often and see Old Concubine Zhen more. That's the right thing to do!"
"If His Highness can take over the martial arts forces in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, it will be a great help to win the throne in the future."
Chu Qian's eyes flickered twice more, nodded, and finally fell silent. Zhao Yuancai couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this. What kind of temperament did Chu Qian have? After getting along with him for these few years, he knew clearly (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 171: Chu Qian’s strange behavior, meeting Emperor Taikang for the first time
It couldn't be clearer. This is a master who never looks back until he hits the wall. However, he doesn't say much anymore. For many things, as long as he fulfills his duties, talking too much will make people hate him.
During this period of time, Chu Qian finally became much calmer. For him, it was a blessing in misfortune. If his temper was so out of control, he would probably be targeted by Emperor Mingkang.
In the Taihe Palace, Xia Cheng led the way, and Jia Qi followed him. At the moment, the two of them were on the side of a long and narrow palace road, about two feet high. The walls were painted red, and they were on the other side of the Daming Palace. The same thing, but different from the Daming Palace, there are only a few eunuchs here, and there are not many palace maids. And since he came to Taihe Palace, he has never seen patrolling Imperial Guards. Comparing the two, , the Daming Palace side seemed more lively, but this side was quieter.
After walking through the long and narrow palace road, Xia Cheng turned into another corridor. Looking at the corridor in front of him, which was about a thousand meters long, Jia Qi felt helpless. Everything in the palace was good, but it was too big.
Jia Qi followed behind, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his senses gradually relaxed. The Great Huangting was running rapidly in his body, and the power of the soul passed through the walls and buildings, and soon everything about the Taihe Palace was reflected on the heart lake. There were indeed not many people. Only half of the huge palace was in use, and the rest of the place was empty, making it seem a bit lonely.
Suddenly, Jia Qi frowned slightly, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes. Just now, there was a place where the power of his soul encountered a slight resistance. He knew that there was something strange in the palace, so he did not force a breakthrough, but secretly noted it down. That place.
"Hey! Isn't this that old bastard Jia She?"
When he returned with the power of his soul, he suddenly saw an acquaintance, it was Jia She, the eldest man of Xifu.
But at this moment, Jia She's face was a little pale, and he was wiping his old face that had been severely out of shape with his sleeves, as if he was broken into a cold sweat by being frightened.
But seeing this scene, Jia Qi was not laughed at, but thoughtful. Among the two mansions, the father and son in the East mansion, Jia Jing, Jia Zhen, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, needless to say, if Jia Jia Jing didn't go up the mountain to practice Taoism, and there might still be hope for salvation, but for now, only Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are left. According to the description in An's original work, these two people are both lustful ghosts and hopeless.
Of course, it's not that lust is unacceptable, but it's just that he really has no responsibility. As for the matter with Qin Keqing, he doesn't think it's that extreme. After all, after the impact of modern times, there are many old couples and young wives like him. One kind is nothing at all, but it's just too much fun and no responsibility. If you really like it, then just marry yourself. If you have to do that kind of thing of picking up ashes and corrupting ethics and morals, this is the way to die. way.
From this point of view, Jia She of Xifu is much better than Jia Zhen. At least this old pervert will not let Jia Lian marry a mandarin duck and then play tricks, but will marry him generously, although things turned out to be bad in the end. , but at least in this aspect, she is far from comparable to Jia Zhen.
Seeing Jia She here again today made him quite emotional. The only people in Jia's family who could come here were probably Jia Mu and Jia She. Thinking of this, he felt that this old bastard still seemed to have something, that's it. At that time, the Supreme Emperor summoned Jia She for something important?
However, Jia She was on a different path from them. By the time Xia Cheng brought him here, Jia She had already gone far away, and neither group of people had even met each other.
"Little Marquis! Please!"
Arriving at the door of a room, Xia Cheng stretched out his hand and made a gesture to invite in. Jia Qi nodded. Looking at this place, a trace of meaning flashed in his eyes. Just now, the power of his soul encountered resistance. The place, not anywhere else, is the house in front of me.
"Your Majesty, the champion is here~"
Xia Cheng ordered the young eunuch to open the door curtain and shouted inside.
"come in!"
Then a rich voice came over. Different from Emperor Mingkang's scholarly voice, this voice clearly had the flavor of a battlefield.
While talking, Jia Qi had already walked in first. As soon as he entered the room, Jia Qi felt a stuffy feeling.
There were three braziers in the room, which were very hot. An old man was leaning on a couch on the sunny side. He didn't move when he saw him coming in. He was still leaning there.
Jia Qi looked up and saw that the man's beard and hair were mostly gray, and he looked a bit strange (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 171: Chu Qian’s strange behavior, meeting Emperor Taikang for the first time
He has a rugged face with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows, big eyes and thick lips. Just leaning there, he has a calm aura.
The man didn't seem to be afraid when he saw Jia Qi. Instead, he was still sizing him up. He couldn't help but smile, "That's interesting. He deserves to be the champion of our Dakang! What do you think, I look pretty good!"
When Jia Qi heard this, he smiled awkwardly and quickly saluted, "Your Majesty, Jia Qi, pays homage to the Supreme Emperor!!"
Emperor Taikang looked at the young man in front of him, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Needless to say, his appearance, what caught his eye was the temperament of Jia Qi, like an unsheathed long sword, sharp and youthful. The unique vitality of people made him feel nostalgic for that time in his life.
Who doesn’t have a youth in life, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, roaming the world? He smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, no need to be polite! Come here and let me take a good look. What does the Champion look like??"
After hearing this, Jia Qi didn't hesitate and walked over.
When Jia Qi walked in, Emperor Taikang was a little surprised when he saw Jia Qi's true appearance. Maybe it was because he didn't expect Hou, the champion in the battlefield, to be so good. Maybe it was because Jia Qi's face was still a little green. , or maybe it was for other reasons, but in short, I was a little surprised.
After a while, Emperor Taikang seemed to have thought of something, and waved his hand to Xia Cheng, who was standing aside, "Xia Cheng, you haven't given me a seat yet!
Hearing this, Xia Cheng quickly brought a round stool from the palace.
Jia Qi thanked him again, his behavior was very natural, not at all nervous like an ordinary person.
"By the way, how old is your kid this year?"
