Jiang Shuo restrained the two of them from behind. He was afraid that the girl would say that he was trying to steal her opponent, so he hurriedly stepped aside. At this time, the girl already knew that it was not the black-clothed knight's pustule, but that the little Taoist priest in front of her was too skilled. Now even if there are only two knights left, she can't subdue them no matter what. But she choked Jiang Shuo before, how could she have the nerve to ask him to help clean up the two people behind her?
In desperation, the girl came up with a plan. She turned around and ran towards Jiang Shuo, hoping to attract the two people behind her and the little Taoist priest to stop him, so that she wouldn't have to speak. Unexpectedly, she ran faster, and Jiang Shuo gave way faster. When he saw the girl running towards him, he immediately stepped aside to avoid fighting with the two and causing the girl to scold him again. The girl secretly cursed in her heart, but she couldn't think about it. , had to turn back to find him again.
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: "This girl has really weird thoughts. What's the fun in running around like this? Is she always leading people to my side to show off her Qinggong skills?"
Zhao Rui and Yuan Danqiu had already understood that it was the girl who was not good at kung fu, but they were too embarrassed to ask Jiang Shuo for help. Seeing Jiang Shuo's dullness, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
Zhao Rui finally couldn't help shouting: "Shuo'er, a man should take the initiative in everything. Do you have to wait for a girl to ask you for everything?"
Jiang Shuo then realized that it was the girl who refused to ask him for help out of face. When he saw the girl running towards him again, he no longer avoided it. He only turned aside to let the girl pass, but he casually grabbed the knight behind the girl and pushed back. After throwing it away, he shouted: "Young girl has outstanding qinggong, I'm convinced, you can take care of these two people?"
The girl didn't know what he meant. She was confused when she suddenly saw a knight flying over her head and landing in front of her. She screamed and subconsciously raised her palm to clap. Unexpectedly, the knight did not dodge and was hit by her palm. The Tanzhong point on her chest immediately lay softly on the ground. When the girl was confused, the second knight had flown over again. This time she patted it casually, but it didn't hit any important points, but the knight still moved backwards. He fell straight down. Only then did she realize that it was Jiang Shuo who sealed the acupuncture points of the two knights before throwing them in front of her.
When Jiang Shuo saw the girl knocking down two people, he quickly cheered: "Young girl is so skilled. She subdued two people in one move. I admire her!"
The girl blushed and said, "Little Taoist priest, your kung fu is also very handsome."
Zhao Rui laughed loudly from the side and said: "Okay, okay, children can be taught, children can be taught..."
Luo Xishi saw that Jiang Shuo was so good at Kung Fu as a young boy. The two Taoist priests behind him were probably more difficult to deal with. Zhao Rui lived in a remote place in Western Shu, and Yuan Danqiu spent many years collecting medicine and refining elixirs outside and did not like to be seen in public, so Luo Xishi Xi Shi didn't recognize the two of them. He quickly calculated in his mind, put on a smiling face again, and said to the woman in apricot robes: "I didn't expect that soon after my wife arrived in Jiangnan, she had already made several great friends. In this case, Li Xiang can rest assured. I hope I’ll go back and resume my life now.”
The woman in apricot robes said noncommittally: "I have nothing to do with Mr. Luo's return to life. I just hope to tell Prime Minister Lin not to send anyone to Jiangnan to find me again."
Luo Xishi directed his men to lift up the six fallen companions. Jiang Shuo just closed their acupuncture points. The six people were just unable to move for a moment and it was no big deal. The knights put their companions on their horses and Luo Xishi gave the order. , everyone got on their horses again, Luo Xishi clasped his fists at Zhao Rui and Yuan Danqiu on the horse and said: "Xi Xi is polite, are these two Taoist priests under the Maoshan sect?"
Although Zhao Rui and Yuan Danqiu both had a close relationship with Maoshan, they were not Maoshan disciples, so they shook their heads together. Luo Xishi said: "Xi Xi has just learned today that there are many strange people in the world. I will ask the two seniors for advice another day. I will say goodbye to myself today."
Zhao Rui smiled and cupped her hands and said, "Goodbye, I won't send you off."
Luo Xishi glanced at Jiang Shuo again, and led a group of knights to ride their horses and follow the original path.
Seeing that the smoke and dust were getting further away, the knights disappeared without a trace after a while. The woman in apricot robe got off the donkey, slapped Zhao Rui and the others, and said: "Thank you three Taoist friends for your help."
At this moment, the three of them took a closer look at this lady. She had a leisurely expression, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to her, and her peach cheeks were haloed. She was quite pretty.
Zhao Rui quickly waved his hand and said: "I, Zhao Rui, am an old master, not a Taoist, and Shuo'er is not a small Taoist. Only this Dan Qiusheng is a true Taoist priest."
The woman bowed her head and said, "It turns out to be Yanzi from the east of Shu. I'm disrespectful. I'm disrespectful."
Yuan Danqiu stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Teng Kongzi, a Taoist priest from Songshan Mountain."
Zhao Rui asked curiously: "Do you know this young lady?"
Yuan Danqiu said: "Although we have never met, Danqiu has admired them for a long time. Since the visitors are Luo Xishi and Xuanyi Baoqi, they must be Li Tengkong, the daughter of the current prime minister Li Linfu."
Jiang Shuo was shocked. Everyone in the government and the public knew that Li Linfu was a traitor. Since this woman was Li Linfu's daughter, why did she dress like a female Taoist priest?
Yuan Danqiu seemed to see the doubts in his heart, and said: "Shuo'er, you don't have to be afraid. This Tengkongzi is very different from her father. Although he comes from a prime minister's family and is extremely wealthy, he has few people and admires the immortal way. , is a member of my Taoist sect."
The woman in the apricot robe was Li Linfu's youngest daughter, Li Tengkong. She replied: "It's what my father did, and I don't despise it. Now that I have converted to Sanqing, I have nothing to do with my family in the world anymore. The daughter of a prime minister, don't care." Mention it again.”
Yuan Danqiu said: "You are a poor Taoist, but since Teng Kongzi has become a monk, why did you come to the south of the Yangtze River, and why did Prime Minister Lin send Luo Xishi to chase you?"
Li Tengkong said: "Since Dan Qiusheng is a Taoist priest from Songshan Mountain, he should know the marriage stories of the other five daughters of Prime Minister Lin, right?"
Yuan Danqiu said: "I heard that there is a small window on the wall of the meeting hall in Prime Minister Lin's home, which is covered with a crimson curtain. Every time a descendant of a noble family comes to visit, even the daughter chooses a man with literary talent and outstanding appearance as her son-in-law through the window."
Zhao Rui said: "This Li Linfu blocked his opinions and rejected talented people in court, but he is quite open-minded at home?"
Li Tengkong smiled and said: "The young people who can enter the palace of Prime Minister Lin are either the sons of long-established nobles or the hottest newcomers in the court. No matter how you choose among these people, Prime Minister Lin will not suffer any loss."
Zhao Rui laughed and said: "Haha, that's true. Prime Minister Lin really doesn't do business at a loss."
Li Tengkong said: "My five sisters have all chosen their husbands in this way. These people are married to Lin Xiang. Naturally, they have achieved great success, but they have also become Lin Xiang's most indestructible allies in the court."
Zhao Rui said: "Teng Kongzi, why didn't you find a son-in-law, but you want to become a monk?"
Li Tengkong said: "Tengkong is devoted to the Tao and does not want to get married. But for Prime Minister Lin, every daughter is a bargaining chip in his hands to win over his cronies. How can he give up so easily? Therefore, he sent Chief Luo to bring the Lin family soldier Xuanyi." The leopard rides to catch it and flies back."
Zhao Rui interjected: "Who is this Master Luo? He looks neither civil nor military, which is really strange."
Yuan Danqiu said: "Master Zhao, you haven't been to Beijing for a long time, but you don't know that Luo Xishi is very famous. He is the nephew of Honglu Shaoqing Zhang Boji. Zhang Boji is Li Linfu's eldest son-in-law, so Luo Xishi can also be regarded as Prime Minister Lin." His in-laws became the chief registrar of the Yushitai. Although he was only a minor official from the seventh rank, he and Ji Wen worked hard for Lin Xiang, forged edicts, constructed prisons, and eradicated dissidents. Clamp Ji Net'."
Li Tengkong said: "Yes, Ji Wen's father Ji Ju was famous for being a cruel official in the Wu Zhou Dynasty. He was a scholar and did some arrogant and conspiracy activities, like a spider spinning a web at home, so it was called 'Ji's web'." '; Luo Xishi was born in Qiantang. He was just a small official. He learned martial arts somewhere, so Prime Minister Lin ordered him to form a private army for himself. These private soldiers were all dressed in black and rode fast horses. They were named Xuanyi Leopard Cavalry. This Luo Xishi is the leader of the Xuanyi Leopard Cavalry. He runs east and west for Prime Minister Lin, like a poisonous scorpion's pincer, so he is called 'Luo Tong'."
When Jiang Shuo heard this, he sighed and said, "Ms. Li, if you hadn't told me earlier, if you had known, I would have captured him together and I would never have let them escape."
Li Tengkong smiled and said: "Little brother, your kung fu is very good, but Luo Xixi's kung fu is different from those of his three-legged cats. He is not good in character but very good in martial arts. He just doesn't show it in front of others, so he is not famous. Don't do it because of this." I underestimated him."
Jiang Shuo said sarcastically, "My nephew is the one who spoke to Meng Lang. Don't blame me, madam."
The girl Xiaoye said to Jiang Shuo: "Your name is Shuo'er, what is your name?"
Jiang Shuo said: "My name is Jiang Shuo, and my nickname is Su."
The girl said: "This name sounds good. What allusion does it come from? My name is Ye Qingyao, which Lady Li took from the sentence 'The sky is clear and the white clouds are beautiful.'"
When Jiang Shuo heard that this was Li Bai's early poem, he couldn't help but recite the next two lines: "When I die from this world, I will visit pine nuts hand in hand."
Ye Qingyao happily said to Li Tengkong: "Madam, this young man actually knows Mr. Taibai's poem!"
Li Tengkong said: "Mr. Taibai's poem "Wu Shanren in Nongyue River" is not famous. My child, you know this poem at a young age."
Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said, "To be honest, I am Mr. Taibai's book boy, so I can memorize Mr. Taibai's poems as much as possible."
Ye Qingyao said happily: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? My wife loves Mr. Taibai the most..."
Li Tengkong stopped her and said, "I love Mr. Taibai's poetic talent."
When Zhao Rui saw her daughter's coy expression, she had already guessed that Li Tengkong had left home and had some unclear relationship with Mr. Taibai, who was dissatisfied with the officialdom.
But Ye Qingyao still couldn't figure it out, and said: "Yes, Mr. Taibai also wrote a poem for my wife. What he wrote is - I admire the king and the prime minister's daughter, love the Tao and the gods; hold the autumn mist with bare hands, and drag the purple smoke with the robe. ; As soon as I stacked up against the screen, I rode a luan and held a jade whip..."
Li Tengkong immediately blushed and said, "Qingyao, please shut up and let the adults laugh."
Now Zhao Rui and Yuan Danqiu both understood, but Jiang Shuo remained oblivious and just wrote down the poem secretly. He pulled the paper he carried with him in the Ziyang Villa in Maoshan, thinking that he would return to Maoshan to pick it up in the future. Go back to the paper and copy this poem. Otherwise, even if you find Mr. Taibai in the future, he does not memorize poems and forgets them as he writes them. You must search carefully and copy his poems to prevent them from being lost. "
Zhao Rui saw Li Tengkong's embarrassment and did not ask further questions. He changed the subject and asked, "So Tengkong, where exactly are you going next?"
