Chapter 11
Outside Feixia Tower.
Youbai waited anxiously, and finished the tea and snacks. Remembering that his young master told him to read more books, he picked up a military book that was in the car, but he couldn't read it after reading two pages, so he simply took off his coat. Stand upside down on the wall of the carriage and start practicing.
Xu is compared to the cold water and sharp iron needles in Xuanshan's previous martial arts practice, the handstand practice method is too simple and boring. Youbai doesn't feel tired, and even starts to feel sleepy, yawning for a long time.
About two hours later, Zhao Liangyue's voice was finally heard outside, You Bai quickly turned over and fell down, put on his clothes and got out of the curtain of the carriage, seeing Zhao Liangyue saying goodbye to a young master in an amber brocade robe.
Youbai only felt that the young master was dressed very luxuriously, but he was approachable.
"Come here." Zhao Liangyue turned his head to look this way, Youbai hurriedly jumped off the carriage and ran over after hearing this.
Zhao Liangyue raised his hand to touch Youbai's head, and said to Han Ting with a smile: "Youbai, come to see Second Young Master Han."
Youbai clasped her fists in salute.
Han Ting looked at Youbai, sized him up, and asked, "Has this little brother practiced?"
Zhao Liangyue said: "It's just that I have learned some three-legged cat skills."
Han Ting shook his head with a smile: "How can it be a three-legged cat's kung fu? I'm afraid even a few masters from other families can't beat him."
"Brother Han praised him." Zhao Liangyue asked, "But it seems that Brother Han has studied martial arts?"
Han Ting raised his chin to Youbai, and said, "Come on, tell me, how is my martial arts?"
Hearing this, Youbai raised his head and looked at Han Ting carefully, observing his body shape and appearance, then nodded his head like pounding garlic, and said in approval: "The martial arts are very good, just like what my master said, Kung fu has been practiced from the inside out."
Han Ting smiled and asked, "Then who is your master?"
Youbai immediately shook his head: "It can't be said, the old man has set the rules."
"That's it, let's let it go." Han Ting took another look at Youbai several times, and said to Zhao Liangyue, "This little brother is really cute. His name is Youbai, right? It should be fun. Take him with you when you have time." Come to me often."
Zhao Liangyue said: "If Brother Han is free, just call me."
"Of course I'm free, who doesn't know that I, Han Er, am the number one idler in Kyoto!"
"Then where did Brother Han get his abilities?"
"This, it's a coincidence, maybe... I have fought a lot since I was a child? Or, like Yubai, I have received some expert advice."
Zhao Liang laughed more: "I was the one who asked more questions abruptly."
"No, no, for Brother Zhao, it's not something that can't be told about the past. Next time I invite Brother Zhao to get together, I can listen to as much as I want, or I will be on stage next time at Rongge?"
"Then just wait."
Han Ting nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I didn't come here today to know about the Hongmen Banquet in advance, but the old man Tang Kang asked me to come."
"Dr. Tang himself wants to come?"
"That's right, I'm not his favorite student, nor his son, how can I have such a big face to ask him to come here?" Han Ting said, "I remember that when the late emperor was here, he always liked to play chess with him, but this old man is afraid of the cold , He refused to go out every winter, or the late Emperor personally went out to the mansion to look for him. This old man has been self-willed all his life, and if he wasn't interested in something, he would not change it even if the knife was on his neck. "
Zhao Liang laughed more: "I'm afraid that Dr. Tang felt that he was not a good person today?"
Han Ting asked back, "Brother Zhao would have such an idea?"
"Dr. Tang seems to be a person who has never been stingy with compliments, but after today's competition, he shook his head and left."
Han Ting laughed twice when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Zhao is full of talent, but sometimes he doesn't know himself well enough. He was obviously the best in the elegant room, and he was so energetic that Wang Yuncheng's face turned pale."
Zhao Liangyue said: "There are many talented people in the world, and Dr. Tang is the student's favorite. If he can get a word or two of praise and advice, it will not be in vain to make a fuss today."
"Don't worry, that old man, I don't know anything else. As far as boasting, the more he praises, the more perfunctory he is. Thinking about when Yun Hezi came to Beijing... Brother Zhao, does he know about Yun Hezi?"
Zhao Liangyue smiled when he heard the words, and said: "I've heard that a sword skill is unrivaled in the world, and he is a strange person in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas."
"Then I don't need to make any more introductions." Han Ting said and shook his head, "When Yun Hezi came to Beijing to live temporarily, old man Tang Kang visited every day to watch people dance swords, and all the wine at home was given away. It’s just like that if you insist on it. Heh, the old man has a really weird temper. If he doesn’t praise you, he just approves of you. He even tells you a bunch of fallacies, and I don’t know where he learned it from.”
Zhao Liangyue naturally thought of the teacher, who also had the same temper, and said, "Maybe all the great talents in the world are different from the world."
Han Ting seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Maybe it is true."
While the two were talking, Han Ting looked up to see that there were a few young masters in the distance who hadn't left, and kept looking this way.
Han Ting motioned Zhao Liangyue to look over, and said: "Although we Gaoliang children have a lot of bad habits and a lot of outrageous customs, it's not because of evil nature. Sometimes we just like to watch the excitement, just those few over there It is true that the talent is not as good as that of Brother Zhao, but it can be regarded as a bit self-motivated. In the Feixia Tower, Brother Zhao showed his talents, and they must also admire them from the bottom of their hearts.
As he said that, Han Ting briefly introduced the family background of the young masters. Zhao Liangyue thanked him, but Han Ting refused, and asked for a place in Zhao Liangyue's small courtyard. He felt familiar, but he didn't think too much about it, and boarded the car with satisfaction. left.
After Han Ting's carriage wheeled away, the young masters came forward to look for Zhao Liangyue. They were a little embarrassed at first, but were resolved by Zhao Liangyue's few words. Afterwards, they sat down in a teahouse and gathered for a while, seeing that it was getting late. , just reluctantly said goodbye to each other, and made an appointment to meet again in the future.
Back in the small courtyard, Zhao Liangyue felt that although he didn't run around today, he was even more tired than the exhausted cars and horses on the road to Beijing.
"My lord, do you want to take a bath first?"
"Didn't you just wash it yesterday? Your son is not a little girl, so you don't need to be so clean."
"No, young master, it was you who went to Feixia Tower and came back with a greasy smell."
"Really?" Zhao Liangyue lifted up his sleeves and smelled it, then frowned, and really brought back a scent of incense - sure enough, after staying for a long time, getting used to it will become natural, and even the smelly one will become fragrant.
Youbai saw Zhao Liangyue's complexion visibly turned pale, and asked, "Then I'll get you some water?"
"Go, go." Zhao Liangyue said as he walked into the room in two or three steps, and began to undress.
For some reason, Zhao Liangyue suddenly thought of the faint ink fragrance under the cliff of Heng En Temple, in this colorful capital of Kyoto, it was like an orchid, but it seemed that he deliberately disguised himself as a rich peony.
Who is that man named He Yu?What is the purpose of being close to yourself, is it an enemy or a friend?
Zhao Liangyue sighed, and withdrew his thoughts, when Youbai came in with two buckets of hot water.
"My lord, do you want to take a medicinal bath? Uncle Song specially tuned it to dispel the cold. If you want it, I'll get it for you."
Zhao Liangyue shook his head, frowned and said, "Forget it, I don't like that smell of medicine."
Youbai curled her lips: "Master, you have too many taboo noses, how can the future wife bear you?"
Zhao Liangyue snorted and said, "Of course she won't despise me!"
Youbai rolled his eyes, poured all the hot water into the bathtub, and said with a smile: "Young master is right, you are so good-looking, when you enter the court after the palace examination, you won't have to worry about no one coming."
Zhao Liangyue felt something was wrong when he heard the words, he turned his head and asked, "It's called asking for marriage when you come to the door, and I'm not the woman."
"Forget, forget!" Youbai heheed twice, and said, "Maybe he can marry the princess and be a son-in-law."
Zhao Liangyue smiled: "As poor as I am, the emperor is reluctant to let his daughter suffer with me."
"You can't underestimate yourself, what if?"
"Not in case."
Youbai saw that Zhao Liangyue wasn't interested in talking any more, so he had to change the subject and asked excitedly: "Master, according to Mr. Han's second son, have you become the most popular in Feixia Building?"
Zhao Liangyue glanced at Youbai, and said: "Beautiful over the crowd...why don't you use words? It sounds weird."
Youbai stuck out his tongue, and said: "The main reason is that I see that Second Young Master Han and you are brothers, and all the young masters in Jingdu have their eyes higher than the top, so I guess, what big things are you willing to do in Feixia Building?" .”
Zhao Liangyue soaked himself in the hot tub, sighed comfortably, and said, "Yeah, he wants to play something called 'Golden House' with me, to put it bluntly, he just picks a word at random to make a song , and see who can write better."
Youbai nodded: "I remember you said that the second son of Wang is not exactly an embroidered pillow, he is good at reciting poems and making opponents, maybe you are not an opponent either, son, how did you win him?"
Zhao Liangyue smiled and said: "Of course he has one hand, and I have two hands. He made the order first, and I will use this as evidence to find the flaws in the beautiful jade and carve out the beauty of my own jade."
Youbai thought it sounded familiar, thought about it, and said, "My lord, you did this in Xuanshan Academy before. You deliberately took the shortcomings of other people's poems and articles as your breakthrough point, and criticized the other party's intention to attract others, so as to achieve the final result. Overwhelm people."
"It's rare that you remember the dean's evaluation of me so clearly at that time." Zhao Liangyue smiled, "Wang Yuncheng is really good at poetry and prose. Kyoto has lived on a high platform for a long time, and has never traveled all over the world. With him, the whole person is like a priceless vase, the outside world is astounding, only in the air."
Youbai let out a long sigh: "But my lord, because of this incident, you were run away by people from Xuanshan Academy in less than a year, and no one spoke for you. You finally came to Beijing for the exam this time, why did you mess up again?" This is out."
"Why, are you worried that I will be excluded? Don't forget, before I entered the capital, some people have held grudges." Zhao Liangyue said in a relaxed tone, "Besides, I was young and energetic in Xuanshan Academy back then. I was forced to lose face, and I didn't want to be expelled from the academy afterwards, and I apologized when I regretted it, greeted others, and even humiliated others, but the result, Yubai, do you remember?"
Youbai seemed discouraged, shoulders slumped, and said: "But they didn't appreciate it, they targeted you everywhere, and even accused you of stealing the dean's things, so that in the end you left to prove your innocence...but..."
"But at the end of the day, I didn't do anything wrong, it's just their greed, right?"
Youbai nodded repeatedly, Zhao Liangyue didn't feel aggrieved, but he put on a bitter face and felt aggrieved.
Zhao Liangyue raised his hand and touched Youbai's head, and said: "Maybe your son is unlucky, and you are destined to go on a rough road, but I know that some things can't be solved by evasion and cowardice. If someone doesn't like you and wants to destroy you , If you want to step on you, you can only stab him with a sharp arrow, instead of trying to bend down and submit yourself, this will only reveal your weakness to the other party faster."
Youbai seemed to understand but nodded, and said worriedly: "Will that affect your future career?"
"Naturally, but it's unavoidable." Zhao Liangyue raised his hand to ask Youbai to pour him a cup of tea, took two sips, and continued, "Wang Er comes from a prominent background, so naturally he doesn't like me, let alone my presence Jingdu is compared with him, and he can also get the appreciation of his teacher Tang Lao."
"So, today this is really aimed at the young master?"
"Yes, so I might as well just overwhelm him in front of his teacher."
"Then, what shall we do next, my lord?"
"What do you mean?"
"You offended Wang Er. That's the son of the Minister of War. You must be dragged into a dark alley to solve it."
Hearing this, Zhao Liangyue looked at Youbai, sized him up, and suddenly shouted sharply: "Youbai!"
"Here!" Youbai saw that Zhao Liangyue was suddenly serious, not knowing why.
Zhao Liangyue hated that iron could not be made into steel, so he looked at Youbai with his chin, and said, "I said, can you not forget who your master is? You can't do it by protecting me alone because you haven't been asked to lead troops to fight. ?”
"Of course!" Youbai hated Zhao Liangyue's disdain every time he pointed his chin at him, as if saying, you are just a brat, you can't do anything.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about it, go play with you." Zhao Liang lay half of his body into the tub.
The next day, before dawn, Zhao Liangyue got up and began to rummage through things. Youbai was practicing kung fu, and turned over and came down from the roof.
"My lord, what are you looking for?" Youbai leaned against the window, poked his head in doubt, and then found that his young master had found out the tattered Taoist robe and bamboo hat again, Youbai, "..."
Zhao Liangyue picked up the clothes and smelled them, frowned, then turned around and asked, "Why didn't you wash it for me? Last time it was covered with so much dust."
No one thought you would wear it...
Youbai persuaded: "Didn't you make friends with a few young masters yesterday, I guess they will be your colleagues in the future, so why don't you consider going to visit them and establish a relationship?"
Zhao Liangyue ignored it, hesitated for a while, and put on a gray Taoist robe.
Youbai persuaded again: "Besides, young master, you can't make much money from fortune-telling."
Zhao Liangyue asked: "Didn't you bring back two taels of gold last time?"
"Speaking of this." Youbai turned over the window lattice, leaned over and said, "My lord, that man surnamed He has done so generously to you, isn't there something tricky?"
"It seems that you are not too stupid to be cured." Zhao Liangyue thought for a while and asked, "Then can you tell whether his martial arts are above you or below you?"
Youbai recalled it for a while, and said: "I only know that his martial arts are not bad, but I will have to fight with him to see who is better. Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"It's not a sudden question." Zhao Liangyue said, "Didn't you say that these days, there are always people from the government secretly following us?"
Youbai nodded, and asked doubtfully: "But didn't you let me pretend that I didn't know? Don't be afraid to say that we didn't do anything wrong... Wait, son, what do you mean by the name of the person who followed us? Then he is Sir?"
"Then do you dare to fight with him?"
"What? Why should I fight him? Help you offend one more dignitary in Kyoto, so that we can become the target of public criticism in Kyoto? We can't make it through this time."
Zhao Liangyue gave Youbai a smack on the forehead directly, and said, "Hit as soon as I tell you, so much nonsense?"
Youbai touched his forehead in aggrieved way, and asked, "Then where can I find him?"
"You don't need to look for it deliberately, just wait for him to come to the door by yourself."
While talking, Zhao Liangyue put on a bamboo hat, took a fortune-telling stick and half a packet of copper coins and went out, Youbai followed.
This time, Zhao Liangyue chose a market in the south of the city to set up a fortune-telling stall, and Youbai hid in the dark, watching the changes.
A few days ago, the news of the Jianning jade plaque had already spread, and many people came to Zhao Liangyue for fortune-telling today. When they met those who were just watching the excitement, Zhao Liangyue would use uncommon words to fool them one by one. .
About half an hour later, a burst of familiar laughter came, Zhao Liangyue raised his head, and saw the familiar peach blossom eyes not far away.
Afterwards, an attendant opened the way, and He Yu swaggered into the queue, and sat in front of Zhao Liangyue. Everyone around him glanced at him, and then receded like a tide, with terrified expressions on their faces.
"Why are they all gone?" He Yu seemed completely unaware of his own reasons, leisurely stretched out his hand to draw a stick and handed it to Zhao Liangyue.
Zhao Liangyue took it, glanced at it, and said, "Xiaoji."
He Yu clicked his tongue when he heard the words, and said, "How could it be Xiaoji? It's lucky to meet Xilin today."
"..." Zhao Liangyue sighed and asked, "I don't know what your lord is doing here today?"
He Yu frowned slightly: "Are you asking me to have more births? Besides, I'm just a small official, so I can afford this sir."
"Didn't you still talk about doing business at home some time ago?"
He Yu laughed twice, and said: "The government and the businessman colluded. They are one. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am a businessman."
Zhao Liangyue didn't want to make any more detours, and directly said: "You know the secrets of the master's family in the capital like the palm of your hand, and you can secretly mobilize people from the government to follow me, and then carefully observe your own demeanor and the reactions of the people in the capital, I'm afraid it's not true Is it that simple for a small officer?"
Seeing that Zhao Liang was more straightforward, He Yu stopped arguing, and said, "Xi Lin is so smart, he guessed right right away."
Seeing He Yu's still smiling face, Zhao Liangyue leaned over and lowered his voice, asking, "What are you going to do, you have to drag me into the same boat?"
He Yu smiled and said, "I just want to be a heart-to-heart confidant with Xilin."
"Profit comes first, adults are smart people, and they won't waste their minds on useless things."
"Oh, really?" He Yu raised his hand, straightened his sleeves slowly, and said, "But I do have something to tell Xi Lin when I come here today."
"What's the matter?"
"Naturally, it's Ningzhou's business."
Zhao Liangyue looked up at He Yu, and asked with puzzlement: "Could it be possible that your lord will tell me the truth about Ningzhou?"
"It seems that something has happened in Dingning Prefecture of Xilin material."
Zhao Liangyue nodded slightly, and said: "I learned from the children of aristocratic families who like to participate in poetry gatherings that this year, none of the Juren from Ningzhou has entered the capital, but even if it was a legitimate disaster in previous years, it shouldn't have happened. Moreover, there should have been a catastrophe in Ningzhou, which was suppressed by military forces, and I am afraid...the natural disaster in Ningzhou was also accompanied by human disasters."
"It seems reasonable, but these are just speculations. Some things appear abnormal, but they may not necessarily become evidence."
"This is natural." Zhao Liangyue said, "The evidence of this natural disaster and man-made disaster is solid. Apart from these speculations, there is a problem with the mining of the iron mines of the Ministry of Industry."
He Yu seemed to be interested, and asked, "How did you see it?"
Zhao Liangyue raised his hand to take a cup of tea, dipped his fingers in the tea, and drew the outline of a Daxu map on the table, saying: "There are two major iron ore miners in this dynasty, Mobei and Tang County, Ningzhou. The amount of ore in Mobei is far less than Tang County. , it is difficult to change, but recently the Ministry of Industry is short of manpower because of this, and needs to go to Nanshi to find craftsmen who understand iron ore-related matters, and a batch will be changed every half month, there must be problems, and they come from Ningzhou."
"Yes, the flood at the end of the year in Ningzhou also affected many places. It was obviously a critical time to appease the people, but it turned a lot on minerals." To explain people's doubts, but in fact, I want to feel how deep the muddy water in this capital is."
"The city of Kyoto is not water, but the sea. If the sea is in trouble, the raging waves can destroy giant ships." Zhao Liangyue sighed and said, "The majesty and danger of the sea have always been there. There is never a shortage of smart people in the world, let alone Kyoto is a city full of outstanding people, but it is one thing to see clearly, and another is to choose how to face and act.”
He Yu tapped the table with his finger, remained silent for a moment, and said: "The Ministry of Industry has become more and more daring in doing unruly things over the years. This year, it even directly recruited people from Nanshi to drive away its illegal workers, but the court is constantly It’s pitiful to see how little their booklets are.”
Zhao Liangyue asked: "What does your lord want me to do?"
He Yu looked at Zhao Liangyue, his peach blossom eyes were full of flirtatious smiles, and said: "It's not a day's cold to be frozen three feet, I just want to tell Xi Lin, don't be impulsive, don't take care of yourself, or I will feel bad .”
Originally, the conversation was quite serious, but when He Yu's last words came out, Zhao Liangyue choked unexpectedly, only to feel that this person is a person whose world is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change.
He Yu himself didn't feel that something was wrong at all, it seemed that he was doing something normal like eating together, and he even tried to find Zhao Liangyue's gap in the white gauze of the bamboo hat, so as to peek into his real face—even though Hengen Temple was already close to the cliff that day. I've seen it once before, but the moonlight is a bit hazy after all, and there are always details that I can't take a good look at.
Zhao Liangyue was already impatient and was about to explode, He Yu tactfully stopped him, stood up and said goodbye familiarly:
"Xi Lin, I still have something to do here, so I'll leave first, and see you again if there is a chance, or - if there is no chance, I will look for you."
After finishing speaking, He Yu left in a flash.
I saw He Yu walking southward for half a street leisurely, and when he came to a tea stand, he bought a cup of tea to drink. The poor stall owner knelt down in fright when he saw He Yu's face, and hurriedly He took out the best tea leaves and brewed them for him, but still refused to accept the money, so He Yu had to throw a piece of silver. went.
"Hey, isn't this our Lord Chu? He's a money-spreading boy again."
A tall and straight handsome man in plain uniform was standing inside the corner, behind him was a bloody horse tied to a willow tree, but the horse's saddle and bridle were very old, which looked rather old. It doesn't match, similarly, this sudden appearance of one person and one horse doesn't match He Yu who is wearing a fancy dress.
He Yu glanced at the man, and asked, "Why are you a boy who spreads money?"
"Are you still here? I've seen it all. You gave someone a piece of silver just after drinking tea. It's really a prodigal."
He Yu smiled: "I took the money that the old man of the Ministry of Industry gave me, and went to help the common people, what happened?"
The man sighed, and said: "You dare to play like this, look at your bad reputation in the capital, if one day you are really dragged to the execution ground, the people would like to celebrate overnight."
"Okay, okay, every time we meet, you have to say something weird to me." He Yu said, "Think about yourself more, the daughter-in-law is not married, and she will send it to the medical clinic after receiving the salary."
"No one in my family uses money, what are you afraid of?"
"Elm head."
The man was annoyed when he heard the words: "Okay, I'm afraid of you. Every time I talk about you, I can immediately talk to me. I have never defeated you since I was a child."
"That's natural." Without any modesty, He Yu walked over to touch the man's bloody BMW and said, "This horse is not bad. It is said that the emperor gave it to you the day before yesterday, but you can't come to me just to show off, right?"
The man was too lazy to argue with He Yu, and said directly: "I came to tell you that I found out about Zhao Liangyue."
"tell me the story."
"From birth to the present, the local government and the household department have records, and it seems that there is no problem at all."
"It seems that there is no problem, but in fact there is a problem."
"Yes, Zhao Liangyue was born in a lower-class family in the offshoot of the Zhao family, and he was a concubine. When he was five years old, his father offended the family and was beaten to death. Later, his mother was favored by the master because of her outstanding painting skills, so she brought Zhao Liangyue to live in the house of the family. , but as Zhao Liangyue, at most he learned some simple poems and etiquette dogma, and it was difficult to be awarded the system of six arts, let alone the way of governing the country. Zhao Liangyue did use his painting skills to get a job at the master's house after his mother died. But just four years ago..."
The man narrowed his eyes and said doubtfully, "The master's family suddenly sent him to Xuanshan Academy, as if they valued him very much, but Zhao Liangyue dropped out of the academy soon after, and stayed in the master's house all the time. Three years later, that is, a year ago , Zhao even wrote it into the main family tree on the grounds that heirs are rare."
"That is to say, his success in the imperial examinations probably stemmed from an accident four years ago, and we don't know what that accident was."
The man looked at He Yu's brows that were unconsciously furrowed, sighed, and said, "Ever since you read Zhao Liangyue's policy theory, you have always been like this. Maybe some things just happened because you thought too much .”
He Yu shook his head and said, "But it's too similar."
"It's too far-fetched just to rely on the style of writing." The man smiled wryly, "Sometimes you don't push yourself too much. The man has passed away, and it is enough for us to inherit the will."
He Yu was silent for a while after hearing the words, and said, "Perhaps what you said is right, but my intuition tells me that Zhao Liangyue may not be a visitor, but a returnee."
"Really?" The man smiled bitterly, and was about to say something more, when a figure suddenly flashed across the wall, as fast as a breeze, making it hard to catch.
The man showed some surprise, and looked at He Yu, only to see that He Yu just smiled slightly, and the man asked in a low voice, "Did you know that someone was following us just now?"
He Yu nodded calmly and calmly.
"It seems that you know who the other party is." The man said, "But in this capital, there are not many people who can hide their figure from my nose."
"It doesn't matter." He Yu said, "That's Zhao Liangyue's attendant, called Youbai."
"Zhao Liangyue's attendant?"
"Yeah." He Yu looked back at the man, fell silent, raised his voice deliberately, and said with a smile, "The child is still underage, so I'm afraid his martial arts are better than yours."
The man understood, and said loudly: "Nonsense, there is nothing I can't beat in Kyoto!"
"Just blow it."
"I was the champion of martial arts at the age of 23. I can't beat him?"
"But you didn't catch him following us."
"Maybe it's the ability to hide and hide. You must not dare to fight me head-on."
……
Youbai had been following behind He Yu, intending to fight with him to try out the details. Seeing him enter the corner, he thought it was his chance. Unexpectedly, just as he stepped in, another man appeared, so he had to hide under the eaves first. After that, listen to them talk.
It's okay if you don't listen to it, but you can't listen to it—these two people are still investigating their young master behind the scenes, and found out a lot of things!
But just as Youbai continued to prick up his ears to listen, the two of them suddenly started arguing, and they couldn't catch anything useful, only the man insisted on fighting with someone, and Youbai thought about it for a while. Found that it seems to be talking about yourself? !
Youbai thinks that he doesn't have much aggressiveness at first, but he has been trained by his master in martial arts to be competitive. Hearing the man's words, he gets angry.
What do you mean he can't beat Kyoto?What is the ability to hide and hide?
Youbai cursed in his heart, his fist was hardened.
But thinking of his son's earnest teachings, he endured it and tried his best to suppress his anger.
After another stick of incense, Youbai saw the two talking and laughing and walking towards the northwest together, knowing that today's time had not come, so he swayed and disappeared over the wall.
Youbai waited anxiously, and finished the tea and snacks. Remembering that his young master told him to read more books, he picked up a military book that was in the car, but he couldn't read it after reading two pages, so he simply took off his coat. Stand upside down on the wall of the carriage and start practicing.
Xu is compared to the cold water and sharp iron needles in Xuanshan's previous martial arts practice, the handstand practice method is too simple and boring. Youbai doesn't feel tired, and even starts to feel sleepy, yawning for a long time.
About two hours later, Zhao Liangyue's voice was finally heard outside, You Bai quickly turned over and fell down, put on his clothes and got out of the curtain of the carriage, seeing Zhao Liangyue saying goodbye to a young master in an amber brocade robe.
Youbai only felt that the young master was dressed very luxuriously, but he was approachable.
"Come here." Zhao Liangyue turned his head to look this way, Youbai hurriedly jumped off the carriage and ran over after hearing this.
Zhao Liangyue raised his hand to touch Youbai's head, and said to Han Ting with a smile: "Youbai, come to see Second Young Master Han."
Youbai clasped her fists in salute.
Han Ting looked at Youbai, sized him up, and asked, "Has this little brother practiced?"
Zhao Liangyue said: "It's just that I have learned some three-legged cat skills."
Han Ting shook his head with a smile: "How can it be a three-legged cat's kung fu? I'm afraid even a few masters from other families can't beat him."
"Brother Han praised him." Zhao Liangyue asked, "But it seems that Brother Han has studied martial arts?"
Han Ting raised his chin to Youbai, and said, "Come on, tell me, how is my martial arts?"
Hearing this, Youbai raised his head and looked at Han Ting carefully, observing his body shape and appearance, then nodded his head like pounding garlic, and said in approval: "The martial arts are very good, just like what my master said, Kung fu has been practiced from the inside out."
Han Ting smiled and asked, "Then who is your master?"
Youbai immediately shook his head: "It can't be said, the old man has set the rules."
"That's it, let's let it go." Han Ting took another look at Youbai several times, and said to Zhao Liangyue, "This little brother is really cute. His name is Youbai, right? It should be fun. Take him with you when you have time." Come to me often."
Zhao Liangyue said: "If Brother Han is free, just call me."
"Of course I'm free, who doesn't know that I, Han Er, am the number one idler in Kyoto!"
"Then where did Brother Han get his abilities?"
"This, it's a coincidence, maybe... I have fought a lot since I was a child? Or, like Yubai, I have received some expert advice."
Zhao Liang laughed more: "I was the one who asked more questions abruptly."
"No, no, for Brother Zhao, it's not something that can't be told about the past. Next time I invite Brother Zhao to get together, I can listen to as much as I want, or I will be on stage next time at Rongge?"
"Then just wait."
Han Ting nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I didn't come here today to know about the Hongmen Banquet in advance, but the old man Tang Kang asked me to come."
"Dr. Tang himself wants to come?"
"That's right, I'm not his favorite student, nor his son, how can I have such a big face to ask him to come here?" Han Ting said, "I remember that when the late emperor was here, he always liked to play chess with him, but this old man is afraid of the cold , He refused to go out every winter, or the late Emperor personally went out to the mansion to look for him. This old man has been self-willed all his life, and if he wasn't interested in something, he would not change it even if the knife was on his neck. "
Zhao Liang laughed more: "I'm afraid that Dr. Tang felt that he was not a good person today?"
Han Ting asked back, "Brother Zhao would have such an idea?"
"Dr. Tang seems to be a person who has never been stingy with compliments, but after today's competition, he shook his head and left."
Han Ting laughed twice when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Zhao is full of talent, but sometimes he doesn't know himself well enough. He was obviously the best in the elegant room, and he was so energetic that Wang Yuncheng's face turned pale."
Zhao Liangyue said: "There are many talented people in the world, and Dr. Tang is the student's favorite. If he can get a word or two of praise and advice, it will not be in vain to make a fuss today."
"Don't worry, that old man, I don't know anything else. As far as boasting, the more he praises, the more perfunctory he is. Thinking about when Yun Hezi came to Beijing... Brother Zhao, does he know about Yun Hezi?"
Zhao Liangyue smiled when he heard the words, and said: "I've heard that a sword skill is unrivaled in the world, and he is a strange person in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas."
"Then I don't need to make any more introductions." Han Ting said and shook his head, "When Yun Hezi came to Beijing to live temporarily, old man Tang Kang visited every day to watch people dance swords, and all the wine at home was given away. It’s just like that if you insist on it. Heh, the old man has a really weird temper. If he doesn’t praise you, he just approves of you. He even tells you a bunch of fallacies, and I don’t know where he learned it from.”
Zhao Liangyue naturally thought of the teacher, who also had the same temper, and said, "Maybe all the great talents in the world are different from the world."
Han Ting seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Maybe it is true."
While the two were talking, Han Ting looked up to see that there were a few young masters in the distance who hadn't left, and kept looking this way.
Han Ting motioned Zhao Liangyue to look over, and said: "Although we Gaoliang children have a lot of bad habits and a lot of outrageous customs, it's not because of evil nature. Sometimes we just like to watch the excitement, just those few over there It is true that the talent is not as good as that of Brother Zhao, but it can be regarded as a bit self-motivated. In the Feixia Tower, Brother Zhao showed his talents, and they must also admire them from the bottom of their hearts.
As he said that, Han Ting briefly introduced the family background of the young masters. Zhao Liangyue thanked him, but Han Ting refused, and asked for a place in Zhao Liangyue's small courtyard. He felt familiar, but he didn't think too much about it, and boarded the car with satisfaction. left.
After Han Ting's carriage wheeled away, the young masters came forward to look for Zhao Liangyue. They were a little embarrassed at first, but were resolved by Zhao Liangyue's few words. Afterwards, they sat down in a teahouse and gathered for a while, seeing that it was getting late. , just reluctantly said goodbye to each other, and made an appointment to meet again in the future.
Back in the small courtyard, Zhao Liangyue felt that although he didn't run around today, he was even more tired than the exhausted cars and horses on the road to Beijing.
"My lord, do you want to take a bath first?"
"Didn't you just wash it yesterday? Your son is not a little girl, so you don't need to be so clean."
"No, young master, it was you who went to Feixia Tower and came back with a greasy smell."
"Really?" Zhao Liangyue lifted up his sleeves and smelled it, then frowned, and really brought back a scent of incense - sure enough, after staying for a long time, getting used to it will become natural, and even the smelly one will become fragrant.
Youbai saw Zhao Liangyue's complexion visibly turned pale, and asked, "Then I'll get you some water?"
"Go, go." Zhao Liangyue said as he walked into the room in two or three steps, and began to undress.
For some reason, Zhao Liangyue suddenly thought of the faint ink fragrance under the cliff of Heng En Temple, in this colorful capital of Kyoto, it was like an orchid, but it seemed that he deliberately disguised himself as a rich peony.
Who is that man named He Yu?What is the purpose of being close to yourself, is it an enemy or a friend?
Zhao Liangyue sighed, and withdrew his thoughts, when Youbai came in with two buckets of hot water.
"My lord, do you want to take a medicinal bath? Uncle Song specially tuned it to dispel the cold. If you want it, I'll get it for you."
Zhao Liangyue shook his head, frowned and said, "Forget it, I don't like that smell of medicine."
Youbai curled her lips: "Master, you have too many taboo noses, how can the future wife bear you?"
Zhao Liangyue snorted and said, "Of course she won't despise me!"
Youbai rolled his eyes, poured all the hot water into the bathtub, and said with a smile: "Young master is right, you are so good-looking, when you enter the court after the palace examination, you won't have to worry about no one coming."
Zhao Liangyue felt something was wrong when he heard the words, he turned his head and asked, "It's called asking for marriage when you come to the door, and I'm not the woman."
"Forget, forget!" Youbai heheed twice, and said, "Maybe he can marry the princess and be a son-in-law."
Zhao Liangyue smiled: "As poor as I am, the emperor is reluctant to let his daughter suffer with me."
"You can't underestimate yourself, what if?"
"Not in case."
Youbai saw that Zhao Liangyue wasn't interested in talking any more, so he had to change the subject and asked excitedly: "Master, according to Mr. Han's second son, have you become the most popular in Feixia Building?"
Zhao Liangyue glanced at Youbai, and said: "Beautiful over the crowd...why don't you use words? It sounds weird."
Youbai stuck out his tongue, and said: "The main reason is that I see that Second Young Master Han and you are brothers, and all the young masters in Jingdu have their eyes higher than the top, so I guess, what big things are you willing to do in Feixia Building?" .”
Zhao Liangyue soaked himself in the hot tub, sighed comfortably, and said, "Yeah, he wants to play something called 'Golden House' with me, to put it bluntly, he just picks a word at random to make a song , and see who can write better."
Youbai nodded: "I remember you said that the second son of Wang is not exactly an embroidered pillow, he is good at reciting poems and making opponents, maybe you are not an opponent either, son, how did you win him?"
Zhao Liangyue smiled and said: "Of course he has one hand, and I have two hands. He made the order first, and I will use this as evidence to find the flaws in the beautiful jade and carve out the beauty of my own jade."
Youbai thought it sounded familiar, thought about it, and said, "My lord, you did this in Xuanshan Academy before. You deliberately took the shortcomings of other people's poems and articles as your breakthrough point, and criticized the other party's intention to attract others, so as to achieve the final result. Overwhelm people."
"It's rare that you remember the dean's evaluation of me so clearly at that time." Zhao Liangyue smiled, "Wang Yuncheng is really good at poetry and prose. Kyoto has lived on a high platform for a long time, and has never traveled all over the world. With him, the whole person is like a priceless vase, the outside world is astounding, only in the air."
Youbai let out a long sigh: "But my lord, because of this incident, you were run away by people from Xuanshan Academy in less than a year, and no one spoke for you. You finally came to Beijing for the exam this time, why did you mess up again?" This is out."
"Why, are you worried that I will be excluded? Don't forget, before I entered the capital, some people have held grudges." Zhao Liangyue said in a relaxed tone, "Besides, I was young and energetic in Xuanshan Academy back then. I was forced to lose face, and I didn't want to be expelled from the academy afterwards, and I apologized when I regretted it, greeted others, and even humiliated others, but the result, Yubai, do you remember?"
Youbai seemed discouraged, shoulders slumped, and said: "But they didn't appreciate it, they targeted you everywhere, and even accused you of stealing the dean's things, so that in the end you left to prove your innocence...but..."
"But at the end of the day, I didn't do anything wrong, it's just their greed, right?"
Youbai nodded repeatedly, Zhao Liangyue didn't feel aggrieved, but he put on a bitter face and felt aggrieved.
Zhao Liangyue raised his hand and touched Youbai's head, and said: "Maybe your son is unlucky, and you are destined to go on a rough road, but I know that some things can't be solved by evasion and cowardice. If someone doesn't like you and wants to destroy you , If you want to step on you, you can only stab him with a sharp arrow, instead of trying to bend down and submit yourself, this will only reveal your weakness to the other party faster."
Youbai seemed to understand but nodded, and said worriedly: "Will that affect your future career?"
"Naturally, but it's unavoidable." Zhao Liangyue raised his hand to ask Youbai to pour him a cup of tea, took two sips, and continued, "Wang Er comes from a prominent background, so naturally he doesn't like me, let alone my presence Jingdu is compared with him, and he can also get the appreciation of his teacher Tang Lao."
"So, today this is really aimed at the young master?"
"Yes, so I might as well just overwhelm him in front of his teacher."
"Then, what shall we do next, my lord?"
"What do you mean?"
"You offended Wang Er. That's the son of the Minister of War. You must be dragged into a dark alley to solve it."
Hearing this, Zhao Liangyue looked at Youbai, sized him up, and suddenly shouted sharply: "Youbai!"
"Here!" Youbai saw that Zhao Liangyue was suddenly serious, not knowing why.
Zhao Liangyue hated that iron could not be made into steel, so he looked at Youbai with his chin, and said, "I said, can you not forget who your master is? You can't do it by protecting me alone because you haven't been asked to lead troops to fight. ?”
"Of course!" Youbai hated Zhao Liangyue's disdain every time he pointed his chin at him, as if saying, you are just a brat, you can't do anything.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about it, go play with you." Zhao Liang lay half of his body into the tub.
The next day, before dawn, Zhao Liangyue got up and began to rummage through things. Youbai was practicing kung fu, and turned over and came down from the roof.
"My lord, what are you looking for?" Youbai leaned against the window, poked his head in doubt, and then found that his young master had found out the tattered Taoist robe and bamboo hat again, Youbai, "..."
Zhao Liangyue picked up the clothes and smelled them, frowned, then turned around and asked, "Why didn't you wash it for me? Last time it was covered with so much dust."
No one thought you would wear it...
Youbai persuaded: "Didn't you make friends with a few young masters yesterday, I guess they will be your colleagues in the future, so why don't you consider going to visit them and establish a relationship?"
Zhao Liangyue ignored it, hesitated for a while, and put on a gray Taoist robe.
Youbai persuaded again: "Besides, young master, you can't make much money from fortune-telling."
Zhao Liangyue asked: "Didn't you bring back two taels of gold last time?"
"Speaking of this." Youbai turned over the window lattice, leaned over and said, "My lord, that man surnamed He has done so generously to you, isn't there something tricky?"
"It seems that you are not too stupid to be cured." Zhao Liangyue thought for a while and asked, "Then can you tell whether his martial arts are above you or below you?"
Youbai recalled it for a while, and said: "I only know that his martial arts are not bad, but I will have to fight with him to see who is better. Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"It's not a sudden question." Zhao Liangyue said, "Didn't you say that these days, there are always people from the government secretly following us?"
Youbai nodded, and asked doubtfully: "But didn't you let me pretend that I didn't know? Don't be afraid to say that we didn't do anything wrong... Wait, son, what do you mean by the name of the person who followed us? Then he is Sir?"
"Then do you dare to fight with him?"
"What? Why should I fight him? Help you offend one more dignitary in Kyoto, so that we can become the target of public criticism in Kyoto? We can't make it through this time."
Zhao Liangyue gave Youbai a smack on the forehead directly, and said, "Hit as soon as I tell you, so much nonsense?"
Youbai touched his forehead in aggrieved way, and asked, "Then where can I find him?"
"You don't need to look for it deliberately, just wait for him to come to the door by yourself."
While talking, Zhao Liangyue put on a bamboo hat, took a fortune-telling stick and half a packet of copper coins and went out, Youbai followed.
This time, Zhao Liangyue chose a market in the south of the city to set up a fortune-telling stall, and Youbai hid in the dark, watching the changes.
A few days ago, the news of the Jianning jade plaque had already spread, and many people came to Zhao Liangyue for fortune-telling today. When they met those who were just watching the excitement, Zhao Liangyue would use uncommon words to fool them one by one. .
About half an hour later, a burst of familiar laughter came, Zhao Liangyue raised his head, and saw the familiar peach blossom eyes not far away.
Afterwards, an attendant opened the way, and He Yu swaggered into the queue, and sat in front of Zhao Liangyue. Everyone around him glanced at him, and then receded like a tide, with terrified expressions on their faces.
"Why are they all gone?" He Yu seemed completely unaware of his own reasons, leisurely stretched out his hand to draw a stick and handed it to Zhao Liangyue.
Zhao Liangyue took it, glanced at it, and said, "Xiaoji."
He Yu clicked his tongue when he heard the words, and said, "How could it be Xiaoji? It's lucky to meet Xilin today."
"..." Zhao Liangyue sighed and asked, "I don't know what your lord is doing here today?"
He Yu frowned slightly: "Are you asking me to have more births? Besides, I'm just a small official, so I can afford this sir."
"Didn't you still talk about doing business at home some time ago?"
He Yu laughed twice, and said: "The government and the businessman colluded. They are one. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am a businessman."
Zhao Liangyue didn't want to make any more detours, and directly said: "You know the secrets of the master's family in the capital like the palm of your hand, and you can secretly mobilize people from the government to follow me, and then carefully observe your own demeanor and the reactions of the people in the capital, I'm afraid it's not true Is it that simple for a small officer?"
Seeing that Zhao Liang was more straightforward, He Yu stopped arguing, and said, "Xi Lin is so smart, he guessed right right away."
Seeing He Yu's still smiling face, Zhao Liangyue leaned over and lowered his voice, asking, "What are you going to do, you have to drag me into the same boat?"
He Yu smiled and said, "I just want to be a heart-to-heart confidant with Xilin."
"Profit comes first, adults are smart people, and they won't waste their minds on useless things."
"Oh, really?" He Yu raised his hand, straightened his sleeves slowly, and said, "But I do have something to tell Xi Lin when I come here today."
"What's the matter?"
"Naturally, it's Ningzhou's business."
Zhao Liangyue looked up at He Yu, and asked with puzzlement: "Could it be possible that your lord will tell me the truth about Ningzhou?"
"It seems that something has happened in Dingning Prefecture of Xilin material."
Zhao Liangyue nodded slightly, and said: "I learned from the children of aristocratic families who like to participate in poetry gatherings that this year, none of the Juren from Ningzhou has entered the capital, but even if it was a legitimate disaster in previous years, it shouldn't have happened. Moreover, there should have been a catastrophe in Ningzhou, which was suppressed by military forces, and I am afraid...the natural disaster in Ningzhou was also accompanied by human disasters."
"It seems reasonable, but these are just speculations. Some things appear abnormal, but they may not necessarily become evidence."
"This is natural." Zhao Liangyue said, "The evidence of this natural disaster and man-made disaster is solid. Apart from these speculations, there is a problem with the mining of the iron mines of the Ministry of Industry."
He Yu seemed to be interested, and asked, "How did you see it?"
Zhao Liangyue raised his hand to take a cup of tea, dipped his fingers in the tea, and drew the outline of a Daxu map on the table, saying: "There are two major iron ore miners in this dynasty, Mobei and Tang County, Ningzhou. The amount of ore in Mobei is far less than Tang County. , it is difficult to change, but recently the Ministry of Industry is short of manpower because of this, and needs to go to Nanshi to find craftsmen who understand iron ore-related matters, and a batch will be changed every half month, there must be problems, and they come from Ningzhou."
"Yes, the flood at the end of the year in Ningzhou also affected many places. It was obviously a critical time to appease the people, but it turned a lot on minerals." To explain people's doubts, but in fact, I want to feel how deep the muddy water in this capital is."
"The city of Kyoto is not water, but the sea. If the sea is in trouble, the raging waves can destroy giant ships." Zhao Liangyue sighed and said, "The majesty and danger of the sea have always been there. There is never a shortage of smart people in the world, let alone Kyoto is a city full of outstanding people, but it is one thing to see clearly, and another is to choose how to face and act.”
He Yu tapped the table with his finger, remained silent for a moment, and said: "The Ministry of Industry has become more and more daring in doing unruly things over the years. This year, it even directly recruited people from Nanshi to drive away its illegal workers, but the court is constantly It’s pitiful to see how little their booklets are.”
Zhao Liangyue asked: "What does your lord want me to do?"
He Yu looked at Zhao Liangyue, his peach blossom eyes were full of flirtatious smiles, and said: "It's not a day's cold to be frozen three feet, I just want to tell Xi Lin, don't be impulsive, don't take care of yourself, or I will feel bad .”
Originally, the conversation was quite serious, but when He Yu's last words came out, Zhao Liangyue choked unexpectedly, only to feel that this person is a person whose world is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change.
He Yu himself didn't feel that something was wrong at all, it seemed that he was doing something normal like eating together, and he even tried to find Zhao Liangyue's gap in the white gauze of the bamboo hat, so as to peek into his real face—even though Hengen Temple was already close to the cliff that day. I've seen it once before, but the moonlight is a bit hazy after all, and there are always details that I can't take a good look at.
Zhao Liangyue was already impatient and was about to explode, He Yu tactfully stopped him, stood up and said goodbye familiarly:
"Xi Lin, I still have something to do here, so I'll leave first, and see you again if there is a chance, or - if there is no chance, I will look for you."
After finishing speaking, He Yu left in a flash.
I saw He Yu walking southward for half a street leisurely, and when he came to a tea stand, he bought a cup of tea to drink. The poor stall owner knelt down in fright when he saw He Yu's face, and hurriedly He took out the best tea leaves and brewed them for him, but still refused to accept the money, so He Yu had to throw a piece of silver. went.
"Hey, isn't this our Lord Chu? He's a money-spreading boy again."
A tall and straight handsome man in plain uniform was standing inside the corner, behind him was a bloody horse tied to a willow tree, but the horse's saddle and bridle were very old, which looked rather old. It doesn't match, similarly, this sudden appearance of one person and one horse doesn't match He Yu who is wearing a fancy dress.
He Yu glanced at the man, and asked, "Why are you a boy who spreads money?"
"Are you still here? I've seen it all. You gave someone a piece of silver just after drinking tea. It's really a prodigal."
He Yu smiled: "I took the money that the old man of the Ministry of Industry gave me, and went to help the common people, what happened?"
The man sighed, and said: "You dare to play like this, look at your bad reputation in the capital, if one day you are really dragged to the execution ground, the people would like to celebrate overnight."
"Okay, okay, every time we meet, you have to say something weird to me." He Yu said, "Think about yourself more, the daughter-in-law is not married, and she will send it to the medical clinic after receiving the salary."
"No one in my family uses money, what are you afraid of?"
"Elm head."
The man was annoyed when he heard the words: "Okay, I'm afraid of you. Every time I talk about you, I can immediately talk to me. I have never defeated you since I was a child."
"That's natural." Without any modesty, He Yu walked over to touch the man's bloody BMW and said, "This horse is not bad. It is said that the emperor gave it to you the day before yesterday, but you can't come to me just to show off, right?"
The man was too lazy to argue with He Yu, and said directly: "I came to tell you that I found out about Zhao Liangyue."
"tell me the story."
"From birth to the present, the local government and the household department have records, and it seems that there is no problem at all."
"It seems that there is no problem, but in fact there is a problem."
"Yes, Zhao Liangyue was born in a lower-class family in the offshoot of the Zhao family, and he was a concubine. When he was five years old, his father offended the family and was beaten to death. Later, his mother was favored by the master because of her outstanding painting skills, so she brought Zhao Liangyue to live in the house of the family. , but as Zhao Liangyue, at most he learned some simple poems and etiquette dogma, and it was difficult to be awarded the system of six arts, let alone the way of governing the country. Zhao Liangyue did use his painting skills to get a job at the master's house after his mother died. But just four years ago..."
The man narrowed his eyes and said doubtfully, "The master's family suddenly sent him to Xuanshan Academy, as if they valued him very much, but Zhao Liangyue dropped out of the academy soon after, and stayed in the master's house all the time. Three years later, that is, a year ago , Zhao even wrote it into the main family tree on the grounds that heirs are rare."
"That is to say, his success in the imperial examinations probably stemmed from an accident four years ago, and we don't know what that accident was."
The man looked at He Yu's brows that were unconsciously furrowed, sighed, and said, "Ever since you read Zhao Liangyue's policy theory, you have always been like this. Maybe some things just happened because you thought too much .”
He Yu shook his head and said, "But it's too similar."
"It's too far-fetched just to rely on the style of writing." The man smiled wryly, "Sometimes you don't push yourself too much. The man has passed away, and it is enough for us to inherit the will."
He Yu was silent for a while after hearing the words, and said, "Perhaps what you said is right, but my intuition tells me that Zhao Liangyue may not be a visitor, but a returnee."
"Really?" The man smiled bitterly, and was about to say something more, when a figure suddenly flashed across the wall, as fast as a breeze, making it hard to catch.
The man showed some surprise, and looked at He Yu, only to see that He Yu just smiled slightly, and the man asked in a low voice, "Did you know that someone was following us just now?"
He Yu nodded calmly and calmly.
"It seems that you know who the other party is." The man said, "But in this capital, there are not many people who can hide their figure from my nose."
"It doesn't matter." He Yu said, "That's Zhao Liangyue's attendant, called Youbai."
"Zhao Liangyue's attendant?"
"Yeah." He Yu looked back at the man, fell silent, raised his voice deliberately, and said with a smile, "The child is still underage, so I'm afraid his martial arts are better than yours."
The man understood, and said loudly: "Nonsense, there is nothing I can't beat in Kyoto!"
"Just blow it."
"I was the champion of martial arts at the age of 23. I can't beat him?"
"But you didn't catch him following us."
"Maybe it's the ability to hide and hide. You must not dare to fight me head-on."
……
Youbai had been following behind He Yu, intending to fight with him to try out the details. Seeing him enter the corner, he thought it was his chance. Unexpectedly, just as he stepped in, another man appeared, so he had to hide under the eaves first. After that, listen to them talk.
It's okay if you don't listen to it, but you can't listen to it—these two people are still investigating their young master behind the scenes, and found out a lot of things!
But just as Youbai continued to prick up his ears to listen, the two of them suddenly started arguing, and they couldn't catch anything useful, only the man insisted on fighting with someone, and Youbai thought about it for a while. Found that it seems to be talking about yourself? !
Youbai thinks that he doesn't have much aggressiveness at first, but he has been trained by his master in martial arts to be competitive. Hearing the man's words, he gets angry.
What do you mean he can't beat Kyoto?What is the ability to hide and hide?
Youbai cursed in his heart, his fist was hardened.
But thinking of his son's earnest teachings, he endured it and tried his best to suppress his anger.
After another stick of incense, Youbai saw the two talking and laughing and walking towards the northwest together, knowing that today's time had not come, so he swayed and disappeared over the wall.
