As soon as Buhuo said these words, both Pan Suxuan and Shuang'er were surprised. They both looked at Buhuo at the same time, but saw that there was no expression on his face. He turned his back to everyone and said, "Senior brother, why do you mention this old thing? It's getting late, we'd better go to the General's Mansion quickly and tell Chen Xiaocai what happened." After that, he quickly walked out of the room. She looked at his back and sighed, then followed him.
Pan Suxuan and Shuang'er looked at each other and both thought: "This Taoist Master Buhuo seems to be speaking freely and informally. He doesn't look like a monk at all. Unexpectedly, he is actually carrying the hatred of killing his father. I don't know what he is a monk for." Tao, is it related to this great feud?"
Seeing that the two Taoist priests had left, Pan Suxuan and Shuang'er returned the same way. When he arrived at the house and was about to return his orders to Chen Xiaotian, Wang Rong came over and said to the two of them: "The master is talking to the two Taoist priests in the Xuanzheng Hall. When I learned that you two have returned, I asked me to take you to rest first, especially Pan Shaoxia has been very concerned about this matter, and the master said that he will come and talk to Shaoxia personally when he has time."
Pan Suxuan nodded and agreed to say goodbye to Shuang'er. He went to see Zhao Niantong first and saw that she had woken up. Apart from her pale face and weak energy and blood, she was fine, so she felt relieved. When I returned to the room, the table was already filled with wine and food. I ate something hastily. I suddenly felt tired and fell on the bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already daylight. I suddenly thought that today was the day when Chen Yixin competed to find a bride, so she hurriedly sat up from the bed. When I got down to the ground, I saw four exquisite snacks on the table, as well as a steaming bowl of deer antler and white fungus soup. When Pan Suxuan saw this, he blamed himself for being careless and didn't even know who was entering the room. If it were not at the general's mansion, but in an ordinary inn, if the enemy came, I am afraid they would have been killed for a long time. "
Just as he was thinking about it, the door was gently pushed open, and Shuang'er came in with a plate of hot water. Seeing Pan Suxuan getting up, he smiled and said, "Did Mr. Pan have a good rest last night?"
Pan Suxuan smiled and replied: "Thanks to the girl, I had no dreams last night, and I slept until dawn."
Shuang'er put the plate on the dressing table, turned around and said to Pan Suxuan: "Thanks to the master for saving me yesterday, otherwise Shuang'er might have been in danger of life. I haven't thanked the master yet, please accept my thanks!" After saying that, he bowed his head and bowed his head. He bowed his head and wished Pan Suxuan a long blessing.
Pan Suxuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Girl, you are so polite. This is what Pan should do!" He stretched out his hand to lift Shuang'er up. Inadvertently, their hands touched each other, and both felt ripples in their hearts. His face turned red with embarrassment, and he turned around and ran out of the room.
Pan Suxuan was thinking about it and was about to catch up, but as soon as he went out, he almost collided with Ma Desheng.
When Ma Desheng saw Pan Suxuan, he smiled and said, "Young Master Pan is so kind to me. Do you want to give me a hug when we first meet?"
Pan Suxuan looked slightly embarrassed and said: "General Ma is just kidding. I wonder why you came to Pan?"
Ma Desheng said: "The master asked me to invite Pan Shaoxia to the Heroes Arena at the foot of Qinglong Mountain. The young lady's contest to recruit a bride is about to begin."
Pan Suxuan said in astonishment: "Start immediately? Isn't it held during the You period?"
Ma Desheng also wondered: "Why did it start at the hour of You? It was already late at that time. How could the heroes get on the stage to compete?"
Pan Suxuan was just about to say that it was Wang Rong who told him, but then he changed his mind and changed his mind and said, "Yes, it seems that I remembered it wrong. Since the competition is about to begin, it shouldn't be delayed. I would like to ask General Ma to lead the way."
The two of them walked out of the courtyard and saw everyone in the mansion waiting at the gate, except Wang Rong. Pan Suxuan became suspicious and asked Ma Desheng, "I wonder where Mr. Wang is? Didn't she go to the competition site?"
Ma Desheng said: "Mr. Wang, Mr. and Miss have gone to the ring to greet all the heroes. Mr. knows that you worked hard yesterday and did not want to disturb you too early, so he asked me to take the others to wait here to accompany the young hero. Let’s go together.”
After hearing this, Pan Suxuan thought in his mind: "It seems that Wang Rong knew the time of the competition and deliberately did not want to tell her. What is her intention in doing this?"
Seeing Pan Suxuan standing there and not wanting to leave, Ma Desheng said with a smile: "Young Master Pan, don't worry, I have asked people to prepare a soft sedan. Young Master Zhao has already boarded the sedan and is waiting outside the house."
Pan Suxuan was stunned and said: "That's very good. General Laoma has taken the trouble, let's set off!" After saying that, he went out and mounted his horse, and the group headed west.
It was the tenth day of March, the early spring in Jinling, the breeze was blowing, and the warm sun was shining. It was true that the sunrise and the river were as red as the flowers, and the spring was as green as the blue. It also happened to be the day when the great general protecting the country was competing to find his bride. The people in the city, supporting the old and the young, were packed with people, rushing towards Qinglong Mountain like a long dragon. People were talking to each other as they walked, guessing who could win the hearts of the others in the end. Some said they were the second eldest son of the Zhang family, some said they were the third eldest son of the Li family, and some were impatient. They would argue in just a few words and get red-faced. They would get into a quarrel and were about to take action on the spot, but they were stopped by the official who rushed into the crowd. The scale of this competition was unprecedented. In order to prevent chaos caused by the large number of people, the prefect of Jinling issued an order and all patrols and defense troops in the city came out to maintain public order on both sides of the streets, making the already congested roads even worse. In addition, the surrounding hawkers People buying goods and people watching, the whole Jinling City seemed to be celebrating a festival, it was so lively...
Pan Suxuan naturally had no intention of paying attention to this at this time, but Zhao Niantong lifted the sedan curtain and couldn't help but look out regardless of his physical weakness. When he saw something funny, he couldn't help but laugh, and even called Pan Suxuan to come and see it from time to time. Pan Suxuan had something on his mind, but considering that she was recovering from a serious injury, he couldn't refute her thoughts, so he could only nod his head in response...
The crowd was walking along with the people, and their movements were quite slow. Seeing this, Ma Desheng was afraid of wasting time, so he ordered his men to drive away the crowd. The seven or eight guards in front of the team received the order, shouted, and pushed and pushed to block the crowd. The people on the road divided into two sides. Many people were very displeased to be pushed away, but when they saw that it was the general protecting the country, they dared to get angry but did not dare to speak, and stepped aside one after another. The team's speed gradually increased, but before they had gone very far, they suddenly stopped.
Pan Suxuan looked up and saw that the guards in front of him surrounded three young people in gorgeous clothes and argued loudly. Some guards had dirty hands and feet and kept pushing each other while arguing. Two of the three young men started fighting with the guards, while only one stood aside and watched as if nothing happened.
Seeing this, Ma Desheng hurriedly separated the crowd, rode his horse forward, and shouted: "Guards, retreat!" The people from the general's mansion stepped aside, and the three young men turned around and saw a strong man riding a tall horse, approaching from behind. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he must be in charge. The young man who was watching just now asked: "What do you call your Excellency? Are you the head of these barbarians?"
When Ma Desheng heard this, he said sullenly: "I am the fifth-grade hussar general of the General Protector's Palace! Who are you? How dare you block the way of the distinguished guests of the General's Palace? Why don't you get out of the way quickly!?"
The young man was neither humble nor arrogant. He took a step forward and said, "It turns out that he is a guest of Senior Chen's mansion. I wonder which hero he is? Is he also here for a martial arts competition to recruit a bride?"
Ma Desheng said: "You don't recognize me even if you tell me, so get out of the way quickly!"
The young man smiled slightly, shook his clothes calmly, and said to Ma Desheng, "What if I don't get out of the way?"
Ma Desheng said angrily: "Boy, I think you're going to drink a toast instead of eating it!" After saying that, he raised his riding whip and whipped the young man on the shoulder.
I saw that the young man did not dodge. When he saw the horse whip being struck, he gently raised his right hand to grab the whip and thrust it into his arms. He said in his mouth - "Get off here!"
Ma Desheng originally only wanted to scare the young man, but did not want to hurt him, so he did not exert any force on his whip. Suddenly, he was pulled by the young man, and his body jerked forward, and he was about to fall off the horse. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, Taking advantage of the tension, he let go and threw the handle of the riding crop towards the young man's face.
The young man shook his head, dodged the handle of the whip, and laughed loudly: "What a skill, I didn't expect that I couldn't pull you off your horse this time! In this case, I won't be polite to you as a gift." After that, He picked up the riding crop and turned around to leave.
Ma Desheng was so angry that he was not willing to let him go. He reached out and took out the two axes from behind the saddle, and shouted: "You idiot, stop leaving! Why don't you go to the government office to hear the trial!?" After speaking, he pointed his finger. This young man wields an ax and chops...
Pan Suxuan looked very familiar to the young man in the team, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he didn't remember it for a moment. He only heard Zhao Niantong clamoring in the sedan chair to get on the horse to see what was going on. Pan Suxuan had no choice but to dismount and help him onto his horse. Unexpectedly, when Zhao Niantong saw this young man, he said loudly: "Brother, isn't this the man in the inn?"
