Chapter 142 Villa
Seven miles west of the city.
This place was originally a place for hunting, but later it was a place for the Imperial Guards to train troops. Later, it was given to the Ming King. A few years ago, the Ming King built a villa here and stood at the foot of the mountain. The scenery here was very beautiful, so if the Ming King had free time, he would often come here to live.
Qin Xianyu and Kang Liang walked between the mountains and fields, and felt that the four fields were silent, and they looked quite solemn and murderous.
Many years ago, the Imperial Guards trained here, so there were often short blades of soldiers, rusty knives, or arrows that had not been recovered after being fired. There were also some old scenes left by the military camp, so it was quite cold and silence.
The two of them walked onto the main road through the mountains and forests, and they saw the bright light and revealed the spacious road ahead.
Kang Liang didn't understand why he had to go into the mountains and walk on the road, and then return to the main road, which was quite puzzled.
Qin Xianyu saw his confusion and smiled and said, "This place is six miles away from the capital, so it is close to this mountain range. I saw a broken knife and a broken blade nearby. I turned to the roadside to take a look. As Uncle Kang said, this place was once the place where the Imperial Guards were stationed. Although it has been moved away for many years, the remaining traces are still as fierce as autumn, and they are worthy of being the elite of the army."
Kang Liang said: "This place is indeed within the scope of the Imperial Guards stationed in those days. Now most of them belong to the Ming King, but the prince only built a villa and was guarded by people. However, he had never guarded the other mountain roads. After all, the scope was too wide."
Qin Xianyu looked ahead, the mountain was approaching, and said, "I wonder if the Ming Wang is here?"
Kang Liang whispered: "The King of Ming has always been a free prince. He doesn't have to go to court. He has done everything the emperor ordered a few days ago. These days are the time of leisure. It is said that when the weather is good, if you have free time, the prince will come to this villa for a few days. This is why the scenery is very good and makes people feel happy."
Qin Xianyu pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Actually, Xiaodao and the King of Ming had never known each other before. When I came to ask for a place with the King of Ming at this time, it would be inexplicable. But if Xiaodao is done early, it would be the best."
Kang Liang asked, "Why did the young master go there?"
Qin Xianyu smiled and said, "I'm about to practice a secret technique."
"Secret Art?" Kang Liangqing asked again about this secret matter of a monk. However, after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Did the young master learn about this place from the old man?"
Qin Xianyu nodded and said, "That's right."
"Does the Taoist priest really think that old man can trust?" Kang Liang said: "The Feng Shui people alone cannot trust in the market."
Qin Xianyu smiled and said, "I may have believed it half-believed and half-doubted before. At this time, I believe it without a doubt."
Kang Liang said in confusion: "The Taoist priest believes in him so much?"
"Xiaodao had looked at him carefully before, but he felt that he was an ordinary person. Later, when he went to see him again, he found that the old man was mysterious and was covered in fog. He could not see through or guess."
After pausing for a moment, Qin Xianyu showed a little respectful look and said softly: "Besides, he pointed out the bloody disaster of the young man in brocade before. Let Xiaodao go to rescue him. When Xiaodao took action, a horse immediately broke out and hit him where he was originally located. It can be seen that this old man was indeed a clever plan."
Kang Liang said: "Maybe it was a coincidence."
Qin Xianyu said: "There is one thing, but it's too coincidental."
Kang Liang asked, "Which point?"
Qin Xianyu said: "The young man in brocade clothes saved by Xiaodao is the prince of the Ming Dynasty."
Kang Liang said in surprise: "This is a coincidence."
"Not only that." Qin Xianyu said: "Xiaodao just took action and allowed the Prince of Ming to escape the disaster. He immediately provoked someone, but got something from that person. This thing is one of the rare medicinal materials that had not been found on the list of Seven Girls."
Kang Liang was silent.
Qin Xianyu said to himself: "When things happened too coincidental, it's not a coincidence."
If you only get Yunling bones, it can be said that it is luck, but all kinds of coincidences are gathered together, which is too shocking.
What a character is that old man?
By this time, the villa was not far away.
However, the prince lives in the villa and there are many surrounding guards.
When approaching the villa, guards were already blocking the front and drew their swords and unsheathed them.
A guard shouted at the beginning: "This place is the royal mansion villa, so don't be close to you."
Kang Liang also shouted and said, "Be kind of polite, who is an idle person?"
Qin Xianyu was not angry and laughed in a low voice: "The little path is gone, please see the prince."
The guard was scolded by Kang Liang, and was indignant. Hearing this, he said, "Your Majesty can see anyone? You little Taoist priest go back quickly, otherwise, don't blame the sword without eyes!"
Kang Liang showed anger and was about to step forward, but Qin Xianyu held him down and shook his head.
Qin Xianyu turned his head, smiled, and said, "Xiaodao really asks the prince for something, please inform me."
"It turns out that there is something to come to ask for. Look, you don't have much identity. Why should the prince meet you? Besides, why do you have time to deal with any chores?" The guard sneered: "Well, why should I inform you for you?"
"It should be based on this."
Qin Xianyu took out Huang Xuance's jade pendant, handed it over, and said, "Small path is evolving, please see the prince."
The jade pendant is only the size of two thumbs. The jade is gentle and has a bright color. It is carved with a dragon on it, which is vivid.
All the guards recognized the jade pendant and were shocked.
The guard was so scared that he looked deserted.
Seeing the change, the guards behind hurriedly came forward and pushed him away. Then they came to Qin Xianyu, took the jade pendant respectfully, turned around and ordered: "Come on the jade pendant and tell the prince."
The man took the jade pendant with both hands and went into the village.
The guard commander glared at his subordinates fiercely, quietly approached, stuffed silver into Qin Xianyu's hand, and whispered: "My brothers are all soldiers in the army, so I can't help but be a little arrogant. Moreover, the days of guarding day and night have always been constantly, and it is really boring. I was in a bad mood. I was blocked by the Taoist priest's servant before, and I couldn't help but feel angry. Please accept these silver and be considered as my brother to apologize."
The guard commander saw that Qin Xianyu had an extraordinary identity, for fear of offending him, and for fear that he would mention it to the prince that even though his brother would not lose his life, he would not have a good end.
Qin Xianyu pushed the money back and said, "Xiaodao does not require silver, you should take it back. As for the previous incident, Xiaodao doesn't care about it."
The guard commander gritted his teeth, feeling that the little Taoist priest was thinking that he was short of money. He added another bag and then sent it into Qin Xianyu's hand, and said, "Since my brother has hit the Taoist priest, he must apologize. Please accept these things, otherwise how can we feel good about it?"
What he meant was that if Qin Xianyu did not accept the silver, they would be uneasy and would be at all uneasy.
Qin Xianyu was also smart, so he stopped ruling and took it away.
The guard commander breathed a sigh of relief. Since the little Taoist priest had collected the silver, the matter was suppressed today. Then, he glared at his subordinates fiercely and made a gesture.
The man's face turned pale.
This gesture means that the money should be paid.
The commander gave the Taoist priest two bags of silver. At least hundreds of taels, how could he get so much money, and he had to pay off his debts. Wouldn't it be until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month?
...
Inside the villa.
A middle-aged man sitting on a chair.
This chair is made of good pear wood, and is extremely wide and can almost allow two people to sit down. There are armrests on both sides of the chair, carved with dragons, phoenixes, and immortals, white cranes.
This middle-aged man was dressed in purple and red clothes, with python dragons painted on it, and his teeth and claws were spread out, like a living thing. He looked square and majestic.
And below him, Huang Xuance stood with his hands down.
The girl was waiting aside. But she was weird and her eyebrows were turning. Sometimes she pouted, sometimes she muttered that she was anxious and boring.
"You said that little Taoist priest seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, extremely young?"
The Ming King pondered: "Whoever calls him the Taoist lord?"
Huang Xuance whispered: "That's right."
The Ming King whispered: "A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, let alone practicing Taoism, even if he practices martial arts, what can he achieve?"
It is not uncommon for those who practice Taoism to transform true qi from nothingness to reality, and it has undergone decades of changes. However, practicing martial arts is easy to be effective. Even if you fail to transport qi and blood, you can at least practice strong muscles and bones, or learn moves and skills.
However, how many days can a boy of sixteen or seventeen have to practice Taoism and martial arts from the point of view of his mother's womb?
"It is said that true qi nourishes one's body, and cultivators all look younger. Perhaps this young man is more than this old, but true qi nourishes one's body, but he is not a person who keeps his face and never grows old. He is probably still under twenty years old."
The Ming King pondered for a long time and said, "According to you, the man who called himself Liu Wen said that he had practiced in the mountains and stole wine brewed by monkeys. He was like those gods and immortals living in seclusion in the mountains. He was probably also a cultivator. Since he was called the Taoist Lord by this cultivator, this young man should have a good cultivation level and should be on the list of outstanding people. However, being a father is considered to know many things about the cultivator. On the list of outstanding people, there should be no one called the Taoist Lord."
Suddenly a voice said, "The prince is probably wrong this time."
Huang Xuance and the girl both knew that they were the confidant of their father for many years and often hid, but they were not surprised.
When the King of Ming heard him speak, he couldn't help but ask, "Where was wrong?"
"Two days ago, a young hero on the seventh list of the Immortals was killed by an unknown little Taoist priest. Later, the person on the fifth list of the Immortals made a battle post and made a fight with him." The voice said: "Because of the fight, the new ranking of the Immortals has not yet been released, but it is undeniable that the little Taoist priest does have a deep cultivation and can be called a young hero. He is expected to be in the top five on the Immortals list."
The King of Ming said: "I know this. When I received the secret report, I saw the above record that he was not yet twenty years old. I was really amazed. Could it be that Xuan Ce met him this time?"
The Ming King frowned slightly and said, "All Taoists and young Taoists have great cultivation. I'm afraid they are really the same person. But there is only the Taoist Yuhua, but there is no such thing as Taoist."
The voice said, "The word "Daojun" was only available last night. The prince lived outside the city and didn't know it for a while. It was normal. Because someone bumped into him early this morning, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Lingtai Office hurried to plead with him and praised him, so that the four words "Daojun" Yuhua was confirmed."
Ming Wang nodded and said, "So that's it."
At this time, the guards outside the gate asked for a meeting and said, "Report to the prince, there are two people outside the village who asked for a meeting. One of the little Taoists claimed to be Yuhua and had to have tokens for the royal palace."
When the token was presented, Huang Xuance was surprised and said: "It turns out that the Taoist priest is here." (To be continued)
