Hou Tonghai said: "What Xiang Shaoxia means is that we save some face for the Quanzhen Sect?" Xiang Yan responded: "Well! There is no irresolvable hatred between us and the Quanzhen Sect. There is no need to find such trouble for ourselves. An enemy."
Xiang Yan is a Han, and he is not willing to serve the Hu people according to his true feelings. But no matter what, King Zhao saved his life after all, and he couldn't just leave like this. How could he be willing to do it for King Zhao? And go to fight against Wang Chuyi? Moreover, Wang Chuyi's kung fu is not low and he is famous, but Xiang Yan has just ascended and his skills have not been restored. If he were to fight with Wang Chuyi now, wouldn't it be unfair if he received a slap from Wang Chuyi and was beaten to death by him? Xiang Yan only hoped that he could spend a few months in peace to recover his skills, and then try to repay King Zhao for his life-saving grace before leaving. He really didn't want to have an affair with Wang Chu at this time.
After the discussion, King Zhao sent someone to take Wang Chuyi, the middle-aged man and the girl in red to King Zhao's Mansion. King Zhao went out to greet the three people in person. Xiang Yan, Ouyang Ke, Sha Tongtian and others were sitting firmly in the hall. After King Zhao introduced the three people into the hall, he said: "Taoist Priest, these people have long admired your reputation and want to meet you." He introduced everyone one by one for the king.
When Xiang Yan was introduced, Wang Chu was shocked and said, "Are you Xiang Yan? Do you know Yan Shu?" Everyone in the hall changed their faces. Xiang Yan was also surprised and thought to himself: "I don't know if Wang Chuyi has any grudges or enmities with Shu'er, but Yeluqi once said that most people in the martial arts world have enmity with Shu'er. If he also has enmity with Shu'er, Then today's fight cannot be avoided." He said: "We know each other." Wang Chu took a long breath and said with a sullen face: "Yan Shu asked Uncle Zhou to find you. Uncle Zhou is in Chongyang Palace. Young Hero If you have time, you might as well go to Chongyang Palace." Xiang Yan also wanted to know the whereabouts of Yan Shu and responded, "Okay."
King Zhao said: "Everyone, please take a seat! Master Wang is here for the first time, so please take the seat at the head table." Wang Chuyi could not give in and finally sat down at the head table.
Xiang Yan kept staring at the girl in red. The more he looked, the more confused he became. He thought to himself: "Why does this girl look more and more like Yang Nianci the more I look at her? But why is her surname Mu instead of Yang? Is there really anyone in the world who looks so similar? person?"
Xiang Yan suddenly remembered something again: "Yang Ying was called Wan Yanying before, and he was the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom. Now the emperor of the Jin Kingdom only has one prince, King Zhao, and Yang Ying's father was also King Zhao before he usurped the throne. Then In addition, the appearance of King Zhao is very similar to that of Yang Ying. Could it be that King Zhao is Yang Ying's father Yang Kang? It is said that Yang Ying's grandmother married the emperor of Jin after she became pregnant with Yang Kang. So King Zhao is not The bloodline of the Wanyan family? No wonder Emperor Jin only has one son, King Zhao, but refused to make him the crown prince."
The girl in red was embarrassed by Xiang Yan's look, a blush rushed to her cheeks and she lowered her head. After drinking for three rounds, Yang Kang smiled and said, "Xiang Daxia, why do you always stare at Miss Mu? Are you attracted to Miss Mu?" Then he smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "Master Mu, I'll protect Xiang Daxia. A matchmaker. Xiang Daxia and Miss Mu are a perfect match for each other. I hope Master Mu can agree to betroth Miss Mu to Xiang Daxia." The girl in red suddenly turned pale, her body staggered, and she seemed about to fall down.
Wang Chu's expression changed and he said, "Isn't Xiang Shaoxia already married to Yan Shu? How can he marry Miss Mu again?" Ouyang Ke said: "What Wang Dao said is wrong. It's not enough for a man to marry more wives." What? What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?" Xiang Yan knew in his heart that this was because Yang Kang wanted to see his martial arts foundation, so he always tried to provoke him to get a match with Wang Chu, but now Xiang Yan How dare you fight Wang Chuyi? Said: "I heard that Miss Mu has a fiancé who is married to her on the fingertips. Why does Miss Mu compete in martial arts to recruit a bride?"
Although the girl in red and Yang Nianci have one surname, Mu, and the other Yang, they look so similar, and they are both disciples of Hong Qigong. As we all know, Hong Qigong only had two disciples, one was Guo Jing and the other was Yang Nianci, so Xiang Yan pretended that the girl in red and Yang Nianci were the same person.
The middle-aged man said: "I'm laughing at you, hero. I did discuss with my step-brother to marry the children of both families. But before the little girl was born, something happened to our family. My step-brother and I had already agreed to marry each other. We have been separated for more than ten years, and now we don’t even know whether he is alive or dead. You can’t find my sworn brother and your daughter will not marry, right? Therefore, we decided to compete in a competition to find a bride.” Xiang Yan said: “Oh! What about you? I happen to know that my sworn brother's child is now a disciple of Quanzhen Taoist Master Ma." Wang Chuyi was shocked and said: "What? A disciple of Brother Ma? Brother Ma will be arriving in Zhongdu in the next two days. , I will ask him then."
"First Evolution"
Ouyang Ke suddenly said: "Master Mu, Xiang Shaoxia, I wonder how you feel about the prince's matchmaking?" Xiang Yan said in surprise: "Don't Miss Mu already have a fiancé?" Ouyang Ke smiled and said: "Xiang Shao Xia, I don’t know whether the person you are talking about is Miss Mu’s fiancé. Besides, even if Miss Mu has a fiancé, she can break off the engagement! If you are not willing to propose to Miss Mu, then I will propose to Miss Mu. ”
Xiang Yan was startled and said, "You want to propose to Miss Mu?" Ouyang Ke said, "My fair lady, a gentleman is very generous. When I see Miss Mu, I will fall in love at first sight. If Xiang Shaoxia refuses to propose to Miss Mu, then I will So I asked Miss Mu to marry me." The middle-aged man said: "People from the mountains and fields dare not marry high-ranking people. Besides, it was because I couldn't find a sworn brother that I asked my daughter to compete in martial arts to recruit a bride. Now that I have a sworn brother. News, how can I marry my little girl to someone else?"
Ouyang Ke said with a smile: "It seems that Master Mu has a deep prejudice against me! Thanks to the prince's respect, I have given him a village next to me. Why don't Master Mu and Miss Mu stay in my village for a few days? I think Master Mu will change his attitude toward me." Let’s see.” The middle-aged man said again: “People in the mountains don’t dare to climb high, so I won’t bother you.” Ouyang Ke smiled and said, “Why is Master Mu so stubborn?” He walked up to the middle-aged man and raised his hand. He patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder. Wang Chu stretched out his hand and blocked Ouyang Ke's palm. Their palms met and they each took a few steps back.
Ouyang Ke took the lead and shouted with a stern face: "Master Wang, Baituoshan and the Quanzhen Sect have always been in harmony with each other. I invite Master Mu to be my guest. Why do you want to interfere? Although the Quanzhen Sect has a large number of people, I, Baituoshan, I'm not afraid either." Master Lingzhi also said: "Master Wang, you have gone too far. What does Ouyang Young Master's invitation to Master Mu have to do with you? Why do you want to block it? The Quanzhen Sect is powerful in the north and south, but it cannot bully others like this. Bar?"
Sha Tongtian, Peng Lianhu, Liang Ziweng and Hou Tonghai all criticized Wang Chuyi for bullying others. Wang Chu said: "The Mu family's father and daughter were brought into the palace by poor Taoists. Naturally, we should take them out properly. If Brother Ouyang wants to invite them as guests, how about inviting them in the future?"
