Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 310
Xiyue immediately greeted her, and said with admiration: "Eldest Princess, you just flew up to the tree in the blink of an eye, just like a fairy descending from the earth, it's so beautiful!"

"My little martial arts is nothing." Luo Lanmeng was not complacent because of Xiyue's words, but instead said: "Xue Lang's martial arts are really brilliant!"

"Princess, I heard that the son-in-law has defeated many martial arts masters one after another in the palace square these days, and even the two warriors who protect the country, Dugu Zhenren and Wunu Zen Master, have been defeated by him! The son-in-law and the princess you , they are really a pair of talent and beauty, a match made in heaven!"

Hearing the maid's praise, Luo Lanmeng couldn't help being happy.

Xiyue observed her expression, and said cautiously: "Princess, after you get married, the servants will continue to serve you. I don't know how the son-in-law's temper is? The servants are afraid that if they are not careful, they will break the taboo and make him unhappy. .”

"You don't have to worry, Xue Lang's temper is good, really." Luo Lanmeng immediately said seriously to the maid: "I remember that during the Pingqiang War, he and I stayed in the Rongzhou military camp..."

When Luo Lanmeng talked about the days when she and Xue Chang met, her beautiful and refined jade dimple was filled with indescribable joy, and she had already put aside her previous urge to steal Xue Chang.

When Emperor Taixiang came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace after the court meeting, he found that the atmosphere in the palace was still quite lively. It turned out that Xue Chang told the Taihuang Dowager, Empress Lin, and Concubine Liu that he had never heard of a mythical story (actually, " Journey to the West's Havoc in Heaven), Empress Dowager Jiang, who was already a little uncomfortable and was about to leave, was attracted by the plot of the story, so she stayed and continued to listen.

The somewhat tired Emperor Taixiang listened to a passage outside the hall and found it very interesting. After entering the hall, he signaled Xue Chang to continue the narration until Monkey King was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain.

It was already afternoon, and it was one of the customs to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain Xue Chang.It should have included Xue Chang's male family members, but it was a pity that he was alone, but it also made it easier for Emperor Taixiang to talk to him.

There were only three dining tables in the huge Hall of Qinzheng, with Emperor Taixiang sitting in the middle, Xue Chang on the left and Cao Zhong on the right.

Emperor Taixiang pointed to the right side specifically and asked Xue Chang, "Do you know who he is?"

"Little people don't know."

"Xue Chang, today I have proposed marriage, and you have met the empress dowager and the empress dowager again. The marriage is already settled. From now on, you will be my brother-in-law. You don't need to humble yourself anymore, just be a minister."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"It's all from my own family, so don't be nervous." Emperor Taixiang reassured, and then introduced: "He is Cao Zhong, the commander of the Dragon Guard, and his martial arts are superb. His strength is no less than the two Zen masters in Shaolin."

That’s why I asked why the emperor always stayed aside every time I saw the emperor. In this world of prosperous martial arts, a bodyguard with strong martial arts is really needed to protect the safety of the lord of a country at all times...Xue Chang thought to himself , saluted the old eunuch on the opposite side and said: "Master Cao, I have admired your name for a long time, I am sorry!"

Cao Zhong also saluted and said: "Master Xue has made great contributions to Longwei, and I would like to express my gratitude!"

"Serving the country is what it should be." Xue Chang replied modestly.

Emperor Taixiang's eyes lit up, then he took a sip of his wine glass calmly, and said directly: "I heard that after the Qiang rebellion in the Bashu area subsided, there was a rumor in the Bashu martial arts that the Tiejianmen Miao Wuhen rebellion was It's justifiable, it's just that when the emperor's grandfather raised his army...the killing was too ruthless, what do you think of this?"

Xue Chang's heart tightened, and after thinking for a moment, he replied cautiously: "When the late emperor raised his army, the world was in chaos. It is the merit of the first emperor to protect the paradise of the people from the chaos of war.

Afterwards, the late emperor was not afraid of the strength of the northern barbarians, and resolutely led his troops out of Sichuan to save the people from the fire and water. After more than ten years of hard fighting and countless people's heroic sacrifices, he expelled the northern barbarians and restored the Central Plains. The merits of the late emperor's salvation shine brightly in history , not anyone can obliterate!Anyone who wants to slander the late emperor and disturb this hard-won peace and tranquility should be punished! "

"Well said!" Emperor Taixiang praised, raised his wine glass, gestured to Xue Chang, held the glass to his lips with both hands, and drank it in one gulp.

Xue Chang also accompanied him immediately.

"After a thorough investigation by Longwei, Beiyan spies are responsible for spreading rumors in Bashu martial arts." Emperor Taixiang said with a serious expression: "I think you already know that Beiyan's hostility towards our dynasty is becoming more and more obvious. It could happen at any time. Yesterday you told me that after your wedding, you want to return to Bashu so that the Xiaoyao faction can serve the court better. I want to know what you are going to do to make the Xiaoyao faction better serve the court? "

Hearing this, Xue Chang's heart suddenly moved. After serious thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, my...after returning to Bashu, I will recruit more disciples and supervise their practice more strictly to improve their strength. At the same time, lead They actively participate in every military training organized by the Patrol Division, familiarize themselves with the skills of fighting in battle as soon as possible, actively cooperate with the Patrol Division to maintain the order of the Bashu martial arts, and hunt down criminals and spies from other countries..."

Speaking of this, Xue Chang took a peek at the indifferent Emperor Taixiang, and continued: "I am also planning to organize the strong men around the Xiaoyao faction's garrison, teach them some basic martial arts on a regular basis, and guide them to practice. Those who stand out can also be accepted as registered disciples..."

Emperor Taixiang became interested and said, "This seems to be what Shaolin did in Dengfeng City."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Chang replied calmly: "Before I came to Luoyang, I had been to Dengfeng and Shaolin, and thought that what they did was very meaningful. They passed on martial arts to the people, exercised their bodies and strengthened their spirits. , if foreign enemies invade again, the people will not be restrained, but will rise up to resist, as the saying goes, the stronger the people, the stronger the country, and it will prevent foreign enemies from insulting them lightly.”

"I am very happy that you have such insight at such a young age!" Emperor Taixiang smiled and said, "I agree that you can return to Bashu after you marry the eldest princess."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xue Chang was overjoyed.

"But I still have conditions." Emperor Taixiang said solemnly: "After you return to Bashu, you have to put everything you said into practice... Also, in the next martial arts conference three years later, Xiaoyao faction You must rank at least fourth in the group in the martial art competition, do you dare to make another agreement with me?"

"Your Majesty." Xue Chang said confidently, "I am willing to accept this agreement, but I hope to modify it slightly."

"How to modify?"

"Change the fourth in the group to at least the second in the group!"

"Oh?!" Emperor Taixiang originally thought that Xue Chang would lower the difficulty of the agreement, but he did not expect him to improve it greatly. Surprised, he couldn't help asking: "You really want to change like this? You must know, after this martial arts conference Afterwards, all factions will definitely pay more attention to it, and will strive to forge ahead, but the Xiaoyao faction is a new one, and your apprentices are so young, I'm afraid..."

"I have confidence!" Xue Chang said firmly.

"Good! Good! Sure enough, he is a martial arts prodigy and a young hero! Then it's settled. After three years, I will wait to see the Xiaoyao faction achieve great success again!" Emperor Taixiang was also in high spirits at the moment, raised his wine glass, and said loudly : "For this reason, I wish you a cup first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Taixiang finished drinking the glass of wine, and then asked: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Iron Blood Changhe Gate?"

"When I was in distress, I received many times of generous help from the Jagged Changhe Gate, and I have always been grateful." Xue Chang replied truthfully.

Emperor Taixiang reminded solemnly: "I know that martial arts pays attention to distinguishing between grievances and grievances, and Iron Blood Changhe Gate is also a sect I rely on, but your status is different now, so you should not have too many contacts with it, so as not to arouse unreasonable suspicion from others."

Xue Chang could only answer: "Yes."

"I don't know that Beiyan is one of my potential enemies in Dazhou now." Emperor Taixiang drank a few glasses of wine in a row, feeling a little drunk, he looked at Cao Zhong on the right, and remembered Cui Keyan from Longwei and Kunlun sect a few days ago After the secret conversation, he couldn't help saying: "With the support of Lamaism, Zanpu of Qingluo strengthened his control over domestic vassals, and attempted to establish an earthly Buddhist kingdom, which also showed great ambitions... Bashu is next to Qingluo, You need to be more careful there."

"Yes." Hearing this, Xue Chang remembered the lama he saw at the station of Jagged Changhe Gate that day. He was a little startled, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the east side of my Great Zhou is also possible?" in trouble?"

"East? It's just some remnants of the previous dynasty, but it's just a disease of scabies." Emperor Taixiang sneered disapprovingly. Seeing that Xue Chang was listening carefully, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Today is a day of celebration, and we always talk about these things. Things are going badly, the dishes are getting cold, I asked the chef to prepare this specially, don't talk too much, try it quickly."

"Yes." Xue Chang hurriedly moved his chopsticks to eat.

"how is the taste?"

"good to eat."

"It's insincere when you hear it." Emperor Tai Xiang said with a smile: "I heard that your cooking skills are very good. I wonder how it compares to my imperial chef?"

"These ingredients are extremely precious, and I have never eaten the dishes I made. But I am good at cooking home-cooked dishes, and I am good at creating new dishes." Xue Chang replied tactfully.

"I can hear it, you think you are better than the imperial chef." Emperor Taixiang joked with a smile: "Soon you will be the husband of the eldest princess, my brother-in-law, if you still frequent the kitchen, I don't think it is disrespectful ?"

"I don't think so." Xue Chang said frankly: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basic needs of human beings. They are the cornerstone for us to get rid of ignorance and the development of civilization. It is also an external manifestation that our Han civilization is more advanced than the surrounding barbarians. This alone Food embodies thousands of years of Chinese history and culture, how can it be belittled!
Personally speaking, a person who likes to delve into food must be a person who loves life. A person who loves life must know how to take care of his wife and children, treat friends well, and care about the country. Such people should be more popular! "
