Wei Xiaobao said with great admiration: "Father, you must have clairvoyance, otherwise how could you know so clearly about Xiao Ye's tricks?" The old eunuch ignored Wei Xiaobao and asked Xiang Yan: "Xiao Xiangzi, you used to Have you ever practiced martial arts?" Xiang Yan was stunned and said, "My grandfather was a soldier and taught me some military martial arts skills."
The old eunuch nodded, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and murmured: "It's actually a Wudang master. It turns out there is a Wudang master hidden in our palace. Well, very good, very good!" Wei Xiaobao was surprised and happy, and said: "Are you saying that Xiaoye is a master of the Wudang sect? I can fight on par with a master, haha..."
The old eunuch made a "poof" sound and said: "Don't be so slutty, who is talking about that kid? I'm talking about the master who taught him boxing and kicking." After a pause, he said again: "I was going to let you two beat Xiao Xuanzi One, so that the boy can retreat without getting entangled, so that Xiao Guizi can go to the study to steal books. But the situation is a little different now. Xiao Xuanzi is an authentic direct descendant of Wudang, and he uses Wudang's "little grappler". If you want to deal with him, you have to use Shaolin's 'Big Capture Hand'. The Juntiquan passed down from Xiao Xiangzi's family is too crude and useless."
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and said: "Xiao Ye uses the 'small grappler' and we use the 'big grappler'. If the big one suppresses the small one, we will definitely win." The old eunuch said: "That's not necessarily true. Each big and small grappler has its own strengths. , it still depends on who practices well. If he practices better than you, the 'little grappler' will be better than the 'big grappler'. There are a total of eighteen hands in this 'big grappler', and each hand has seven or eight You won’t be able to remember all the changes in just a moment, so you need to learn a thing or two first before talking about it.”
Immediately he stood up, put on his posture, performed it once, and said, "This move is called 'Crane Combing Feathers'. Once you have mastered it, you can break it down with me." After Xiang Yan practiced it seven or eight times, Wei Xiaobao just listened. "I'm done with it," said the old eunuch, sitting in the chair, reaching out with his left arm and grabbing Wei Xiaobao's shoulder. Wei Xiaobao stretched out his hand to block, but was a step too late and was already grabbed by the old eunuch's shoulder. The old eunuch said: "What are you familiar with? Practice again."
Xiang Yan knew in his heart that there were errors in the martial arts taught by the old eunuch, and because he was in a bad mood, he really had no intention of practicing martial arts, so he argued with the old eunuch: "Father, Xiao Ye's kung fu is at most equal to mine. Even if I can't block it, But it shouldn’t be difficult to block Xiao Ye, right?" Wei Xiaobao also said hurriedly: "Yes, yes. Xiao Ye is on par with me, and I can definitely block Xiao Ye with this move."
The old eunuch sighed and said! : "Okay, let's practice the second move!" He stood up and tried out the second move "Monkey Picking Fruit", and then asked them to dismantle it according to the pattern. Neither Wei Xiaobao nor Xiang Yan was active in martial arts. They practiced a few times and then stopped practicing. The old eunuch didn't blame them.
The next day, Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan caught Kangxi off guard with their "big capture skills". Wei Xiaobao defeated Kangxi with "Crane Combing Feathers", and Xiang Yan won again with "Ape Picking Fruit". Kangxi was very happy and said with a smile: "You... your skills have improved today. It's a bit interesting to compete with you. Who... who taught you?" Wei Xiaobao said breathlessly: "I have already had this skill. But I didn’t use it in the past two days, and I will have more...even more powerful methods tomorrow, do you dare to learn from me?"
Kangxi was about to speak when suddenly someone outside the door said: "Your Majesty, Liang Jiugong, the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, has something urgent to do to see the Emperor and is waiting outside." Kangxi was quite disappointed and said hum. Wei Xiaobao was shocked and knelt down in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, I... I really deserve to die. I never knew you were the emperor, and I am so bold to touch you." Xiang Yan secretly cried out for bad luck, and in desperation, He had to kneel down, bow his head and remain silent.
Kangxi glanced at Wei Xiaobao, then at Xiang Yan, sighed, and said, "Well, after you know this, you will never really fight me again. That would be extremely boring." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "As long as you don't take offense. , I will still fight you for real in the future, that's okay." Kangxi was overjoyed and said: "Okay, it's a deal, if you don't fight for real, you're not a good man." After saying that, he stretched out his hand. Wei Xiaobao held Kang Xi's hand and said, "If you don't fight for real from now on, you won't be a good man." After saying this, the two of them looked at Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan had no choice but to hold Wei Xiaobao's hand again and said, "If you don't fight hard, you won't be a good man." After saying that, the three of them held hands tightly and laughed together.
The sound of footsteps outside the door gradually sounded, and a man pushed the door open and came in. He said, "Slave Liang Jiugong bows to the emperor." Then he knelt down and kowtowed. Kangxi looked quite unhappy and said calmly: "That's all." Liang Jiugong stood up and said: "To inform the emperor, Hai Dafu, the deputy director of Shangshan Supervision, has just died of illness."
Kangxi and Xiang Yan were both stunned when they heard that Hai Dafu had died of illness. Kangxi asked: "How did he die? Wasn't he still fine yesterday?" Liang Jiugong said: "Back to the emperor, Dr. Li said that Deputy General Hai had tuberculosis in his bones and rheumatism in his heart. He had suffered from many old problems at the same time and could no longer be cured. ”
Kangxi sighed again and said: "Hai Dafu is the slave left by his father. When he dies, one of the slaves left by his father will be missing." Liang Jiugong said: "It is the blessing of the slaves that the emperor remembers his old love." Kangxi added: "Since Hai Dafu is dead, then the position of deputy director of the Food Supervision..." Kangxi glanced at Wei Xiaobao, then at Xiang Yan, and said, "Xiao Guizi will take over." Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
