Zhao Chongyin patted Lin Yiyang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We two don't have to be so polite, just sit down and talk."
There are exquisite table tables in the water pavilion, with soft leather cushions underneath, and delicious and fresh pastries on the table table.
After the three of them were seated, the maid next to them quickly brought tea.
Zhao Chongyin glanced at Qiu Wanxia, and said with a smile: "Elder Qiu is still so young, it seems that cultivating Taoism in the mountains is also beneficial, but it's a pity that I am entangled in common affairs, so I can't calm down to practice, so far I am only in the third-rank realm. "
As the current crown prince of Great Yan, Zhao Chongyin cannot be a weak scholar, but his cultivation is not high either.
First, there are indeed a lot of government affairs, and second, they are also restricted by qualifications.
It is rumored that among the many heirs of the Taiping Emperor, the Seventh Prince and the Second Prince have the highest martial arts aptitude, and the Prince is considered to have a moderate aptitude, so his focus is not spent on it.
Qiu Wanxia couldn't help laughing: "Time makes people old, and they are no longer young."
There is no woman in this world who doesn't like others to say that she is young, so is Qiu Wanxia
"Although people who practice cultivation have a long lifespan, they must not waste their precious time."
Zhao Chongyin glanced at Lin Yiyang, and said: "Just now you saw Ping'er, the first time you came here, you were only knee-high, but now it's up to my waist, brother Lin has to work hard."
Lin Yiyang paused, and then said: "Yeah, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, it's been a few years."
Qiu Wanxia blinked her eyes and did not speak.
Zhao Chongyin shook his head, thought of something, and said: "Recently, I heard rumors in the world that you are going to compete in swordsmanship with a ghost swordsman. Is this true or not?"
Except for Qiu Wanxia, no one in the world knows Lin Yiyang's temperament better than him.
Lin Yiyang said lightly: "I also heard some rumors, but I didn't hear the ghost swordsman talk about it specifically. If he really wants to resolve the previous grievances for Lou Xiangzhen, I will take it."
Recently, news of ghost swordsmen challenging Lin Yiyang has been everywhere in the Jianghu.
For the duel of the top swordsmen, it is natural to attract people's attention in the Great Yan Jianghu. Some people have long been curious about who will get the title of the world's number one swordsman after Lou Xiangzhen, the world's number one swordsman, is short-lived.
In today's world, except for Lou Xiangzhen, the five great swordsmen are also very impressive. It is a pity that Yi Daoyun, the White Tiger Sword Immortal, was defeated by Guo Lin Yiyang, and Cui Daoxian, the Heavenly Sword, was defeated by Ghost Swordsman. Lost the qualification to compete.
Then the most powerful contenders for the number one swordsman in the world are nothing more than three people, the swordsman father-in-law Zhong Binru, Lin Yiyang and ghost swordsman.
Regarding the dispute between the three of them, there has long been an uproar in the rivers and lakes, and it is very loud.
Coupled with the fact that there are people secretly fueling the flames, it is in full swing at this moment.
Zhao Chongyin pondered for a moment and said: "I have seen that ghost swordsman before, and he can be regarded as an open-minded and reasonable person. Lou Xiangzhen's life and death are unknown now, either dead, or retired from the world, the past grievances let him Let's break up, then I will invite the two of you to resolve this grievance, maybe the two of you can become a good story."
"No need."
Lin Yiyang said lightly: "That ghost swordsman is nothing more than a chicken and a dog. That Lou Xiangzhen has practiced swordsmanship for more than [-] years than me. Lin is not afraid, let alone the ghost swordsman. If he really wants to fight, then he can fight." The battle is over."
Zhao Chongyin was not surprised when he heard this.
Lin Yiyang was such a person, not that he looked down on the ghost swordsman, but that he didn't look at it at all.
At this time, Qiu Wanxia said with a smile: "Lou Xiangzhen's grievances are nothing more than grievances with my master, so let me take over, and I have long wanted to learn about this ghost swordsman's ghost sword. "
Lin Yiyang didn't speak, but his expression was full of not caring, please feel free.
Zhao Chongyin shook his head, "Forget it, the matter between you can be resolved by yourselves."
He knew very well that these swordsmen who practiced the way of the sword were very stubborn.
Moreover, whoever wanders in the rivers and lakes does not value fame and fortune.
The title of the world's number one swordsman will fall on the shoulders of these people sooner or later, so sooner or later they will have a battle.
"The ghost swordsman is just an insignificant existence, so let's not mention it."
Lin Yiyang picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, then looked at Zhao Chongyin and said, "I am here this time mainly for the affairs of the Houjin Mission, and this is the most important thing."
Just last month, there was an undercurrent in the world of Dayan, and the embassy of Hou Jin entered Dayan along the border. Because this matter was not widely publicized, not many people paid attention.
Zhao Chongyin nodded and said, "According to the distance, we will arrive soon."
Lin Yiyang pondered for a long while, and said, "I'm afraid the embassy's visit this time may not be easy."
Lin Yiyang is extremely proud of himself, but he is not a fool, especially seven years ago he went to Houjin secretly, and he also knew that the Holy Lord of Houjin was ambitious.
Now the situation in Dayan is complicated, and after 20 years of cultivating momentum, Houjin has already sharpened his weapon.
This time Houjin was going to Dayan as an envoy, I am afraid that the visitor is not kind, it is very likely that Houjin's move is to be courteous first and then soldiers, or there are other purposes.
For example, test the current Dayan Emperor.
Hou Jin has been slow to move, and it has not been fully confirmed whether the Great Yan Emperor was really injured.
After all, this Emperor of Great Yan is also a hero of a generation.
Temples and rivers and lakes are already difficult to separate, and there are no eggs under the overturned nest. If Dayan is in crisis, Yuheng Sword Sect may also suffer.
Zhao Chongyin's face was as calm as water, and he said: "The person who came from the Houjin Mission this time is Zongzheng Yuan. He is the seventh son of Zongzheng Huachun. It is said that this person is resourceful and extremely intelligent. He was familiar with dozens of books when he was five years old. Ben, at the age of 13, he was already familiar with the history books of Sifang. When he was 17 years old, he came to my Dayan and Zhao countries to study. When he returned at the age of 24, Jin took over his own tribe. In just three years, it has developed momentum. It was very swift and violent, and became one of the largest tribes in Houjin."
Zongzheng Huachun is exactly the name of the emperor of Houjin today.
Zhao Chongyin knew Zong Zhengyuan, who was sent to Dayan this time, like the back of his hand. Similarly, he believed that Zong Zhengyuan had also investigated Dayan's current situation clearly.
Lin Yiyang opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
At this moment, a man in black wearing a cloak and a long knife around his waist hurried over.
Xuanyiwei, the Great Heavenly Gang!
That Xuanyiwei Da Tiangang hurriedly said: "Prince, something is wrong."
"whats the matter?"
Zhao Chongyin asked.
Da Tiangang hurriedly said: "Princess An Le was robbed by Qi Shu from the Black Ice Platform on her way to Youfeng Valley."
"Qi Shu?"
"Crack!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Chongyin's face, which was originally calm, suddenly became extremely ugly.
Lin Yiyang and Qiu Wanxia's complexions also changed slightly.
Princess Anle is the queen's daughter and the emperor's favorite princess. At this moment, she was kidnapped by Qi Shu from Zhao Guo's black ice platform, and the place where it happened was around Yujing City. Obviously, this was premeditated.
Such an aboveboard crime is like a slap in the face of Dayan's royal family. As long as it is Dayan's face, there will be no brilliance on the face.
"Please Elder Tang and Chief Meng take action. Be sure to stop Qi Shu, and don't let him get out of my Dayan."
Zhao Chongyin took a deep breath, and his face became calm.
He must not be allowed to succeed in this Qi technique, otherwise there will be endless disasters.
.........
Youfeng Valley, Yanyun Cave.
There was a faint smoke coming from the cave, and it kept drifting out.
A middle-aged man in a long robe sat cross-legged on a futon, and the air around him was billowing like the whistling of the wind, and finally merged into his body.
The man's aura is as majestic as the sea, as unpredictable as the deep sea.
"Valley Master!"
Suddenly, an anxious voice sounded.
I saw an elder from Youfeng Valley frowning, and ran in hastily.
The middle-aged man frowned, then slowly opened his eyes, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you? All matters will be discussed after I leave the customs later in the day."
This person is the Patriarch of the Zuo family, Zuo Biwen, the owner of Youfeng Valley.
Compared with the heads of the other seven factions, his aptitude is not amazing, nor is his strength strong, but his background is the best.
Not only is the Zuo family behind him as support, but his sister is also the Queen of Dayan.
So Zuo Biwen is quite famous no matter in the Jianghu or in the temple.
The elder of Youfeng Valley hurriedly said: "Master Gu, something important has happened, Princess Anle has been robbed."
"What did you say!?"
When Zuo Biwen heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, as if he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Princess An Le, Zhao Xuening, is his niece, and she is always loved by him, no less than his own daughter, but now the princess of this country has been kidnapped! ?
No matter how it sounds, this matter is a bit absurd.
Zuo Biwen came back to his senses, and quickly asked, "Is it true?"
The elder of Youfenggu replied: "Really, it was Zhao Guoqi who made a move and took several masters who took refuge in the Black Ice Terrace, and directly robbed Princess Anle in Ping County."
Hearing this, Zuo Biwen shook his body, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and then his eyes shot out a burst of anger, and he shouted: "Okay, you old thief of Qishu! Old thief! If you dare to hurt half of Xiao Xuening's hair, I will kill you!" I will never die with you."
The elder of Youfenggu took a deep breath and said: "Master Gu, it is said that the governor of the Tang Dynasty and the commander-in-chief Meng brought Xuanyi guards, and the net of heaven and earth has been mobilized to hunt down Qi Shu, and the second prince also sent an order to Marquis Ping Ding to let him Deploy heavy troops and guard all the intersections of Zhao State closely."
In just one day, the Dayan court had already responded.
But Qi Shu is the most proud disciple of Qi Wushuang, the pillar of the Zhao Kingdom, and also the mainstay of the Black Ice Platform, a master of the second qi master level. Since he dared to commit such an earth-shattering case this time, he must have a backup.
Therefore, it has not been captured or found its whereabouts in a short time.
Zuo Biwen's face was gloomy to the extreme, and he said after a long time: "This matter is not only about the face of the royal family, it also concerns the honor and disgrace of all the people in my Great Yan Jianghu. You must immediately issue the Jianghu hunting order now, and you must not let Qi Shu leave Dayan."
Zuo Biwen is naturally not Qi Shu's opponent, but if he uses the power of the Great Yan Jianghu, even if Qi Shu is a second-qi master, he has to weigh it up, and it's hard to say whether he can leave alive.
"Yes."
Hearing this, the Elder Youfenggu was shocked.
...........
Yujing City, Lu Mansion.
The hundred-year-old camphor tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun.
Lu Guoyong, dressed in white, stood under the camphor tree, gently stroking the thick trunk, with no expression on his face, but a sigh in his cloudy eyes.
Behind Lu Guoyong, there was a fat young man standing.
The young man was wearing a Confucian scholar's robe, with a bulging belly and a ruddy and shiny face.
The young man said with some dissatisfaction: "Grandpa, I think Zhou Xianming is an ignorant person. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun every day, I don't see him studying and studying. Why do you accept him as an apprentice and send him to my aunt's other house?" Give him a place to live?"
He didn't understand that Zhou Xian played every day, but his grandfather was so optimistic about him, and he heard that Princess An Le, whom he had been thinking about day and night, might marry this person, the more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt.
Lu Guoyong glanced back at the young man, pointed to Wangjing Mountain in the distance and said, "Jingchun, can you see that mountain?"
The young man looked along his fingers, nodded and said, "Of course I can see it."
Wangjing Mountain is just outside the city, so you can see it at a glance.
Lu Guoyong shook his head and said: "You can see the mountain, but you can't see the beauty of the mountain, the spirit of the mountain, you can see the sea, but you can't see the treacherous waves and surging winds of the sea."
"What you can see is superficial, or what others want you to see."
Hearing this, Lu Jingchun lowered his head in shame, "Grandson is dull."
Lu Guoyong sighed lightly and said, "It's good to be dull, what's wrong with being dull?"
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
I saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar walking in, sweating profusely, holding a bow.
This person is Zhou Xianming.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
When he saw Lu Guoyong, he was also shocked, and quickly leaned over his luggage and said: "The student just went out, I hope the teacher has seen it."
"It's okay."
Lu Guoyong waved his hands and said with a smile, "Go out to play Cuju?"
Zhou Xianming replied: "I have nothing to do when I'm free, so I play with a group of children and exercise my body."
Lu Guoyong said softly: "That's fine, there are still more than a month to go before the imperial examination, it's good to relax once in a while, when I'm busy in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be like today."
"What do you think about what I told you yesterday?"
Zhou Xianming was silent for a while, then said, "The students don't want to."
When Lu Guoyong heard this, he couldn't help sighing, "In my short life, I don't want to make any compromises, but in the end I still made a lot of compromises for this short life."
