Li Chaoyi's Anecdote

Mansion.The huge courtyard is full of all kinds of goods, and there is not even a place to step down.

The wolf king turned around and apologized slightly: "How about I...carry King Wu over there?" He wanted to talk about hugging more.

Yi Ze waved his hand, and silently recited a mantra, only to see a flash of light, and he had arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

The wolf king regretted not falling, and was careless for a while, forgetting that the prince had worshiped under Taihua's sect.

Most of the banqueters in the hall were subordinates of the wolf king, and when they saw the barbarian, they came in as if no one else was there, and their demeanor was different from ordinary people, even wearing the wolf king's hood.They spoke the dialect of the Western Regions, but Yi had never heard of it, and he looked at the wolf king suspiciously.

The wolf king said, "They are asking what your name is?"

In this kind of place, it is natural not to reveal the real name and surname, so Yi said casually: "Jie Liya."

The wolf king was taken aback.

"Why, did I make a mistake?"

"No, you're right." The wolf king smiled.

The subordinates looked Yi Ze up and down, nodded happily, and said in raw Chinese: "Jie Lia is worthy of the name."

The Wolf King grabbed a jug of wine: "Can King Wu drink it?" Then he watched Yi Ze take it and drank most of it in one gulp.The wolf king was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to drink quite well."

Yi smiled and said, "Master loves good wine very much. When I was still on the mountain, I used to drink with him."

"I heard that your master is a wonderful person."

Yi was fascinated leisurely: "Even if the blue clouds come out of Xiu, and the white cranes stand in the snow, it's nothing more than that."

"Then you are willing to let him go down the mountain alone?"

"Don't go again...I'm afraid..." The strong smell of alcohol fumigated the corners of his eyes into a thin red circle, and the wolf king missed the second half of his sentence as soon as he lost his mind.

"What did King Wu just say?"

"Nothing, gossip."

19

The wolf king thought, he has a unparalleled sharp blade in his hand, and at this moment, he just wants to use this sharp blade to prune the flowers and branches.

20

After drinking for three rounds, Anival's interest gradually increased, and he waved his arms to his subordinates: "Bring me my lute."

Yi was taken aback for a moment: "Wolf King can also play the pipa?"

Anival patted his chest and said: "The pipa was originally owned by me in the Western Regions, and it has only been spread to the Central Plains for a few hundred years. In the desert, anyone who wants to play it is better than the good talents in your workshop."

The shape of the pipa in the Western Regions is quite different from that in the Central Plains. It has a long handle and a flat belly. Anival touched it casually, and the sound was thick and deep, like singing or sighing.On the head of his pipa is carved a lifelike wolf head with beard and hair, and the turquoise inlaid eyes are shining with a glimmer of light.

The wolf king stepped on the chair, humming an exotic and light tune.While tuning the strings, he looked at Yi and smiled: "There is a saying in your Central Plains that you come and don't reciprocate. I play the piano for King Wu. Does King Wu also want to do something for me?"

Yi Ze thought for a while, then slowly got up and said, "I only know how to dance swords."

A subordinate had already handed over an iron sword, but the wolf king shook it in his hand, and then threw it aside: "Jielia should be equipped with a famous sword. Although I have many weapons here, there are few that can catch the eye. You If you don't mind... use my scimitar instead of a sword." He untied the saber from his waist and offered it to Yi Ze with both hands.

Yi Ze saw that the dark steel knife did not look much better than the one just now, but without thinking too much, he stretched out his hand to take it, and there was a burst of extremely enthusiastic cheers from around.Such a grand and courteous reception made Yi Ze feel a little puzzled. He turned to the Wolf King inquiringly, and saw a confident and satisfied expression on that handsome face.

"Let's get started, King Wu, they can't wait any longer."

21

What Yi Zewu used was an introductory sword technique from Taihua Mountain. Although it is an introductory sword technique, there are many subtleties hidden in it. It takes ten years of hard work to comprehend it. In particular, there is a move in this set of sword techniques called Gu Yan Heng Yun, which is extremely powerful. , It is a surprise move to strike later.Among the three thousand disciples in Taihua Mountain, the one who has practiced the most subtle is his master Qinghe Zhenren. He raised his body, waved his sleeves, and turned his head back, all in one go, coming like thunder, leaving like clouds, Qinghe also got the alias of Guyan elder.

The wolf king has traveled all over the world for many years, so he naturally knew this set of sword techniques. He deliberately slowed down the rhythm, just waiting for Yi to use the lone geese and horizontal clouds, just in time for the most exciting movement.

I saw that Yi was dancing more and more quickly, and the piercing sword intent gushed out, agitating the soul and shaking the heart.

When the light is clear and the afterimage is clear, it is the time when the wine is warm.

The wolf king pressed the string, ready to help him, but Yi Ze's figure suddenly swayed, and the scimitar flew out of his hand, but seeing a silver light, the blade had penetrated the wall until it reached the handle.

Yi Ze looked at the empty palms, lowered his head and said, "I've drank the wine and listened to the music... It's time for me to go back." After finishing speaking, he pulled up his hood, turned and left.

22

Yi walked slowly along the river bank, and the wolf king was not far behind him. The shadows of the two met, and they could even hear their breathing.When he reached a place where no one was around, Yi stopped and said, "What are you following me for..."

"His Royal Highness King Wu, I lied to you about something." Anival pushed forward step by step and pushed him against the willow tree beside the embankment.

"what's up?"

"Jialia doesn't mean Yize, but I think it suits you better than your name."

"Oh, what's that?" Yi Ze's chin protruded from the thick down of the hood, raised in a reserved arc.

"...the most beautiful thing..." After speaking, the wolf king kissed her.

23

"You like me?" Yi Ze accepted the kiss quietly, as if it was expected.

The wolf king nodded seriously.

"Do you want to be with the king?"

The wolf king nodded again.

"If you don't like it in the future..."

"Then separate." The wolf king didn't plan to entangle this issue for too long, "Maybe I will fall in love with others in the future, but for now, I only fancy you." , If they don't agree, they will be scattered.

"Where do you see my king?"

"This..." The Wolf King frowned. He always acted on intuition and was not very good at answering this kind of question. "You are very good-looking, and...you are good at sword dancing, and you can drink well." Knowing whether this answer is in line with Wu Wang's wishes, if he refuses, then he has no choice but to accept it, and then return to the Western Regions in style.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and finally, Yi Ze said: "Very good, just what I want." Then he took the initiative to cover his lips.

25

When the king of Wu presented the memorial on the Mingjingtai, Emperor Shengyuan was holding his youngest son in his arms, coaxing him softly.He first glanced at the content briefly, without any expression on his face, he just asked the wet nurse to come over and lead the fourth prince away.The fourth prince was still unwilling at first, and held onto his sleeve tightly and refused to let go, so Emperor Sheng Yuan had no choice but to swear that when the work was done, he would definitely have fun with him.

When the emperor raised his head, his face had already changed.

"This is your conclusion?" He picked up the ink pen, circled the last sentence, and threw it back to Yi Ze.

Yi didn't want to read it, but in fact he didn't need to read it again. After thinking about it thousands of times, he finally threw it out without embellishment, and let him stand there bloody-"The prince's crime is the same as that of the common people. The king of Chu lost his virtue, so he should be beheaded, and his blood should be preserved, and his whole body should be preserved. His sons and ministers are stupid, and it is all up to the Holy One to decide."

"Are you stupid? I think you are too smart... A mere woman wants my son's life. How can such a cheap thing come in the world?"

Yi neither admitted his mistake nor refuted it, and said politely: "Father Huang Shengming."

The emperor stared at him with a pair of bottomless eyes, and he gave the emperor a gentle brow, but there was a blade hidden in the brow.The father and son had their own concerns, but tacitly kept silent at the same time.

Finally, the emperor curled up his fingers and tapped on the desk, saying: "Okay, come out."

26

Someone came out from behind the heavy curtain and carefully knelt beside Yi Ze. He saluted the emperor first, then turned his head to bow to Yi Ze, and said, "Your third brother is doing well."

Yi bowed slightly: "Second brother, are you all right?"

It was the king of Chu who came.

The emperor pointed to Yi Ze and said: "Look at the second child, this is your good brother. I originally expected him to be fair and merciful, but I didn't know that he was so disregarding brotherhood."

The king of Chu bowed his head and said: "The Tian family has no flesh and blood, and the emperor is ruthless. It is also the duty of the third brother to do this."

Emperor Shengyuan seemed to be very satisfied with this answer. He personally helped the king of Chu up and said, "Don't be afraid, you are my son no matter what." Then, he dipped in cinnabar and changed the sentence of beheading to move to Chu. Wang Wei waited quietly, and chose a day to go to Lingnan to become a feudal vassal, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing unless he was ordered.

The King of Chu trembled all over while looking at Zhu Zhu, and finally shed tears.

27

Yi sent the second prince out of the palace. There was a carriage waiting outside. The two said goodbye in front of the carriage. Just as they were about to leave, the second prince suddenly poked his head out and said, "King Wu."

"The king of Chu... what is waiting for?"

Jinghou nodded and said, "Thank you, I was able to leave Beijing alive."

But Yi Ze smiled: "I want to put you to death with all my heart, the one who pardoned you is Father, you should thank him."

Jingwai said: "He likes to sing bad faces the most, but let others take the blame. If you don't condemn me to death, not only will I die of old age in prison, but you will also be implicated... For the sake of his little son's country, how can he put other The son is pushed to this point... Yi Ze, now I have no hope of winning the heir, and the eldest is an embroidered pillow, the old man's thorn in his side, but you are the only one left."

Yi Ze said: "Second brother, don't worry, I have my own plans."

Jinghou has never been able to see through him, and after hearing what he said, he had no choice but to give up if he had anything to say.

28

The wolf king also couldn't see through him, but unlike Jinghou, the more he couldn't see through, the more he wanted to investigate.And Yi is like a generous host,
