The 30th day of the eighth lunar month.
There are rumors in and around the capital that a handsome man has arrived in the capital, and his appearance is better than Tian Jing, the most handsome man in Miaoyin Pavilion. Yesterday night, dozens of brothels fought over her. Finally, the oiran from Miaoyin Pavilion came forward to intercept her and took out a thousand taels of silver on the spot to take her back to Miaoyin Pavilion overnight.
The news that Miaoyin Pavilion has two beauties from the capital spread throughout the capital.
This rumor is like a spiritual medicine for the wealthy ladies in the capital. Before noon, the Miaoyin Pavilion is already overcrowded. The wealthy ladies are all clamoring to see the handsome man. Some even say that they will spend a lot of money to spend a night with the handsome man...
The madam in Miaoyin Pavilion was in trouble. Naturally, she knew that the beautiful man had been picked up by Shangshu Mansion early in the morning. She hurriedly came to the inner courtyard to ask Ji Yanyu to let the real master behind the scenes make up his mind.
Ji Yanyu took a sip of tea; after thinking briefly, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly: "Let's just say that the beautiful man has just arrived in the capital and needs to rest for a few days!"
Although the madam was puzzled when she got the answer, she still respectfully stepped back and announced the news...
inner city.
In the Yu Mansion, Yu Bin, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, carefully looked at the young man in front of him who made him jealous. Before the person involved, Daochang Zhao, opened his mouth, Yu Xiaowei felt ashamed for her father: "Dad, he doesn't have any flowers on his face, why are he always staring at others?"
Yu Shangshu laughed and twirled his beard to resolve the embarrassment: "I have heard about the Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain for a long time. I was really shocked when I saw it today." Then he asked again: "I don't know who the Taoist priest is? Where does he live? ?Do you have any brothers or sisters?”
This was an ordinary thing to say, but Yu Xiaowei blushed in embarrassment.
The sisters of the Bi family were also very sensitive, thinking that the Master was looking for a son-in-law!
Daochang Zhao was attracted by the enthusiasm of Yu Shangshu in front of him. Before he came, he thought that Shangshu of the Ministry of War was ferocious and had a big belly. However, he turned out to be unexpectedly charming.
He replied truthfully: "Xiao Dao has been practicing Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain for as long as I can remember. I really don't remember where exactly!"
Yu Shangshu paused and nodded: "Oh! That's it!"
Zhao Zhengli didn't know how to speak, and Yu Shangshu seemed to be lost in thought. The atmosphere was suddenly extremely quiet, and the Bi sisters, Zhang Ziya, Li Zhanyi and others could not even breathe. Finally, Yu Xiaowei reminded: "Dad, hurry up and get down to business! "
She was very puzzled by her father's abnormal behavior today. He could always talk to the emperor when he saw him on weekdays. Why was he always distracted today?
Yu Shangshu stroked his handsome beard: "I told your Majesty this morning that "nine" is a lucky number, and tomorrow is the beginning of September, so tomorrow morning the little Taoist priest will accompany me to the palace, and after the morning court, he will appear in front of all the officials. Being granted a seat in the Tianshi Mansion by the Taoist Priest is a blessing from the dragon, so the Taoist Priest must not let down the Holy Grace in the future."
Zhao Zhengli had no idea about power, let alone dragon grace. He just bowed his hands respectfully: "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Shangshu!"
Yu Shangshu waved his sleeves and robe to show that you were not welcome, and then made simple arrangements and asked Yu Xiaowei to entertain a few people. He also said that he was interested in going shopping inside and outside the city. He was familiar with the route and ordered Yu Shangshu to leave the house and go to the Ministry of War.
Yu Xiaowei received her father's advice and showed her loyalty to the landlord. She asked the maids and servants to clean up the guest rooms in the mansion, and then took a few people to visit the mansion. The mansion in the capital was given by the imperial court; it did not belong to an individual. The six ministerial mansions cover an area of several meters. Mu, the entrance to the mansion is an open-air courtyard, surrounded by corridors on all sides. Arched doors on the left and right lead to the side rooms, which are usually used as residences for maids and servants. Opposite the door is the lobby, and there are side doors on both sides to enter the inner courtyard attic. You can see it from here There are garden lakes, rockeries, pavilions, and small attics. On the north side of the garden are rockeries, stone forests, and flower beds of various seasons, among which the osmanthus garden is among them. Nowadays, when the early osmanthus in August and September is quietly blooming, the servants prepared fruit snacks in the pavilion. entertain.
Li Zhanyi was quite familiar with Shangshu Mansion, and out of politeness, she walked along to enjoy the scenery. Of course, she always had a plaster close to her side. Sometimes, Taoist Zhao really had to admire Zhang Ziya's thick skin, regardless of whether he could bear it or not. He keeps posting, talks to himself without answering, and makes weird moves to make the beauty smile. He is the only unserious person among a group of serious people.
Either Senior Sister Emei was bored, or the fragrant Osmanthus Garden gave her the idea of wielding a sword, so she took the initiative to invite her to compete with Zhang Ziya in the Osmanthus Garden. This idea was unanimously approved, but only Zhang Ziya himself was riding a tiger, unable to dismount, and he had a premonition that he would be beaten.
The two of them did not take weapons and were using their bare hands. Zhang Ziya reluctantly accepted this proposal. As long as there were no sticks, swords or guns, and as long as the charming beauty was happy, it didn't matter how many slaps and punches they received? Quan Dang Beauty's unique massage technique.
He gritted his teeth and agreed, and the two of them started to fight in Guihua Garden. Li Zhan took the lead with a frown and punched directly towards Zhang Ziya's face. He was secretly shocked that this woman's moves were vicious and she would not hit anyone in the face; She was just picking faces to beat. She was not as good-looking as Zhao Xiaobai. Wouldn't it be even worse if she was beaten again?
There was no carelessness in his hands. He made fists with his hands and crossed them to block the oncoming punches. Li Zhanyi naturally saw that he wanted to drag his fists and turn passive into active. At the same time, he turned his palms into two fingers and put them together, with strong Qi at his fingers. Surrounded by the tip, this is the "Emei Armor-Breaking Finger". The strength is purely concentrated on one point, and one finger can penetrate the rock with all the strength. Here, Li Zhanyi withdrew part of the strength, otherwise the true energy of her fingertips would have solidified and formed at the master level.
Zhang Ziya had no choice but to fall back, bending one leg to defend his lower body. As expected, Li Zhan swept his leg close to the ground, and Zhang Ziya pushed his bent leg hard on the ground to escape. The two fought together in the Osmanthus Garden. , dozens of moves were exchanged, the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, and the fists and kicks were wonderful.
Director Zhao saw that Zhang Ziya couldn't let go, so he didn't pay much attention to the fight. The outcome was basically decided from the moment the punch was thrown. Yu Xiaowei and the Bi sisters were full of excitement and danced happily.
Seeing these three idiots, Zhao Zhengli shook his head helplessly, and really responded to the sentence, "A layman is just watching!"
Yu Xiaowei secretly glanced at Daoist Zhao, because the evil Daoist priest had been looking at her. Their eyes collided in the air. Daoist Zhao grinned without evasion and joked: "Miss Yu can actually laugh!"
Yu Xiaowei blushed at his grinning smile, but she didn't feel angry with him even though she knew she was being teased by the bad Taoist priest in public? With his appearance, he might be able to deceive many good girls in the future. Thinking of this, he remembered what happened to him in Miaoyin Pavilion last night, and became very angry: "You have to look at who is smiling, as you are so unclean and self-conscious. You’re a bad Taoist priest, it’s good that I didn’t bring up the sword to kill you in order to eliminate the harm to the young girl from a good family.”
Zhao Zhengli was put on a fictitious hat by her again. He pulled away and handed the thin sword of the Bi family sisters to her: "Come on! I will give you this opportunity to chop me with the sword!"
Before the sisters of the Bi family could react, Yu Xiaowei was startled at first. How could her little grandmaster's strength compare with that of this pervert? Are you looking for abuse because you don't know?
The corner of Zhao Zhengli's mouth raised, as if he could read her mind: "I use branches, you can use your strength against me. If I touch my body, I will lose, and I won't blame you for the stabbing. How about that?"
This kind of good thing really made Yu Xiaowei's heart beat, because she had long wanted to smash the two swords of the Taoist Master, but this seemed to be a bit bullying him.
Just when she was hesitant, Zhao Zhengli said: "You only have one chance, if you don't come..."
"Wait!"
Yu Xiaowei hurriedly shouted to stop, she was really afraid that this guy would regret it; her beautiful eyes wandered erratically to cover up her desire to take advantage: "Keep your word? No regrets allowed?"
Zhao Zhengli was suddenly amused by her behavior, as if she was gambling with a child: "Of course."
She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
Then he took the rapier and set up his stance. Daoist Zhao looked at her sword-raising style as if taking a leisurely stroll in the Osmanthus Garden, and nodded: "You have practiced the basic skills well!"
He broke off a twig from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree next to him, tested its flexibility, put his hands behind his back and said, "Come on!"
The sisters of the Bi family also watched with great interest. Yu Xiaowei directly took a bow and swept the sword across Zhao Zhengli's chest. He took a step back unhurriedly, and the thin sword missed him half an inch from his chest. Yu Xiaowei lowered the tip of the sword to attack him. At the bottom of the circle, Zhang Daozhang still slightly raised his feet to dodge. Yu Xiaowei raised his sword. The sword was definitely unavoidable. Yu Xiaowei thought that this upward sword move would easily cut open his gown. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhengli used his extreme strength to slit his gown. It was a difficult move to fall backwards and fall to the ground, with the body hanging in the air more than ten centimeters above the ground; only the back heels of the whole body were on the ground, and then the body was stabilized by somersaults with one hand on the ground and somersaults in the air.
Yu Xiaowei was shocked when he saw it, and it was no longer surprising to think that this guy could even defeat the Grand Master. The Bi family sisters who were watching the battle clapped their hands and applauded.
Daochang Zhao looked at Yu Xiaowei and said, "Your swordsmanship is too rigid and completely inflexible. Fighting is not about practicing swordsmanship. Only by adapting to circumstances can people be unpredictable."
Without waiting for her blushing face to lose his temper, Zhao Zhengli took the initiative to hit her with a sweet-scented osmanthus branch. Yu Xiaowei was angry and raised her sword to slash at her. According to common sense, the branch must have been cut off by the sword, but who knew that the thin sword seemed to be stuck to the branch? Generally, follow Zhao Zhengli's branches forward; remove all the force on the sword, then Zhao Zhengli takes the thin sword in Yu Xiaowei's hand and presses it down in the air to hold half of the sword flower, then stabs the sword flatly, and then stabs straight upward with the sword, Turn around and slash the sword, take advantage of the trend to lunge and chop down at the wrist, turn around and lift it up, sweep left and right, flatten the sword around the body and close it.
After a set of consecutive sword skills, Yu Xiaowei only knew that the sword in her hand could not exert any strength. She was lightly led by Zhao Zhengli to dance a set of sword skills that were both ordinary and incomprehensible. When Zhao Daochang stopped, she was still immersed in what had just happened. In swordsmanship.
At this moment, Li Zhanyi and Zhang Ziya had stopped fighting. As expected, Zhang Ziya was beaten again. His face was not injured, but his whole body was injured. The two of them saw Zhao Zhengli's sword technique with some profound meaning.
Zhao Zhengli waved his hand in front of Yu Xiaowei's beautiful eyes: "Stop? How long will it take for dinner to start? I'm hungry!"
Yu Xiaowei didn't respond for a long time. When Zhao Zhengli was about to turn around, she suddenly said: "Teach me the sword technique just now again!"
Zhao Zhengli was so frightened that he trembled. Seeing her rare sincere and charming look, he had no choice but to pick up the discarded branches and demonstrate the sword skills just now with her. The sisters of the Bi family were not far away and followed the graceful gestures to learn. After taking it off, Yu Xiaowei's eyes gradually brightened: "What's the name of this sword technique?"
Zhao Zhengli spread his hands: "No name!"
