The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 363 Kung Fu
When he came to the yard, Xiaoji, who was touching the sword, seemed much more airy than Xiaoji who was running errands on weekdays. It seemed that Xiaoji's "nature" was really suppressed on weekdays.

Xuan Shijing pulled out the instrument knife in his hand, and said to Xiaoji: "Come on, let's just click as far as we can."

Xiaoji nodded, even if Xuan Shijing didn't say anything, the competition between the two would still be the same, even if Xiaoji had the guts to hurt Xuan Shijing.

If you don't try, you won't know, once Xuan Shijing and Xiaoji fought, they came to a conclusion in their minds, this Xiaoji's kung fu is even better than Long'er!
Although Xuan Shijing learned some kung fu from Long'er Gaojun, due to his body and age, Xuan Shijing's kung fu can only be called a skill, and he can barely deal with the ordinary guards in the palace. , against Long'er, under Long'er's hands, he could not go through more than a hundred rounds, but now against Xiaoji, in just thirty rounds, he has already shown his defeat.

What a pleasant surprise.

Xuan Shijing's defeat was only a matter of ten rounds, so there was no need to continue the fight, both of them withdrew their hands and stood in the courtyard.

"Your kung fu is pretty good." Xuan Shijing praised sincerely.

"Master Hou, the kung fu of this servant was taught by the father-in-law." Xiaoji said with some pride.

"My father?"

Xiaoji nodded: "Yes, when the father-in-law picked up our sisters back then, there were not many children in the village. I fell in love with my sister and wife, so the father-in-law handed our sisters to my wife. My sister likes to play tricks. But the servants like to wield knives and guns, and the servants feel that in troubled times, it is better to have a skill by themselves, so at that time, the father-in-law personally taught the servants how to practice martial arts, and hoped that the servants would be able to protect the wife by her side in the future."

"So that's how it is." Xuan Shijing said, "My father is very skilled?"

As for Xuan Mingde, Xuan Shijing has always learned intermittently from other people, and he seems to be a remarkable person. Judging from Li Chunfeng's words, it seems that he was also a member of the crossing army, but it seems that his luck was a bit bleak and he died in Xuanwu Door.

"Grandpa's kung fu, even the owner of Shan Zhuang admired it back then." Xiaoji said: "Of course it is very good."

Apart from these things, all Xiaoji knows is how kind-hearted Xuan Mingde was back then, how many people he adopted and rescued, and so on. However, useful information can no longer be found out.

Forget it, anyway, people have been dead for so many years, and there is no need to pursue anything.

"With your kung fu, it's a pity to let you stay in the mansion as a maid all the time. How about it, now my mother will go to Xuanwu Tower when she has nothing to do all day long. You are still by my mother's side, and your mission is to protect My mother, leave the things that the maids do to other people." Xuan Shijing said.

"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Xiaoji beamed with joy when he heard the words. Even if he followed Wang, it was better than staying in the mansion all day. At least in the future, it is estimated that he will spend more than half of the day in Xuanwu. Lou, in this way, he can feel more comfortable outside.

Seeing Xiaoji's cheerful appearance, Xuan Shijing was a little surprised. What kind of family business did his cheap father leave for him? So, won't His Majesty Li Er suspect him?
There are already quite a few masters in the mansion, and there must be people who Xuan Shijing didn't notice. With such a force, how did Xuan Mingde manage to keep His Majesty Li Er from being suspicious and the officials from being jealous?
Also, Xuan Mingde cultivated so many talents, what does he want to do?
These questions, with Xuan Mingde's death, I'm afraid there will no longer be any answers. What is left to Xuan Shijing is just the result of an infinite guess.

Even what Xuan Mingde wanted to do in the past has become empty now.

However, there is another possibility, that is, Xuan Mingde knows that Yuan Tiangang has told His Majesty Li Er about his origin, and the people he cultivated in Erxian Village are only able to protect themselves in times of crisis.
At the end of the year, the Chamber of Commerce had nothing to do, so Mrs. Qiandui was also idle in Xuanwu Tower. When he learned that Xuan Shijing wanted to see them, he quickly rode back to the Hou's Mansion.

Xuan Shijing returned to the study, while Xiaoji went to help prepare tea with a cheerful mood.
"Master Hou." In the study, Qiandui and his son bowed their hands to Xuan Shijing who was sitting at the head.

"My family, you don't need to be polite, just sit down." Xuan Shijing pointed to the soft couch opposite the desk, motioning for the two to sit down and talk.

Qian Lai and Qian Dui walked across to Xuan Shijing, knelt down and sat down.

"The reason why I was grounded by His Majesty was also written and told to you. Has there been any movement outside in the past few days?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Qiandui looked at Qianlai. The affairs of the past few days were all handled by Qianlai. With the help of Chang'an City, Qianlai also planned to pass on the mantle to Qiandui, so many things were all about money. Come and do it, the money is piled up to watch.

"Master Hou, after Li Yuanjing returned to the mansion that day, the people we sent there have been paying attention to the movement of King Jing's mansion. After Li Yuanjing left Chang'an that day, if he really returned to Jingzhou directly, he is probably still on his way. From what I see, I’m afraid it’s going to be a storm this time.”

"The storm is about to come, but it's not so serious. Now, whether it's our people, people from the Wei Palace, or people sent out secretly by His Majesty, they are all staring at Li Yuanjing. In this way, Li Yuanjing may not be able to find anything. It’s a waste, but you can guess, if Li Yuanjing rebelled after the first day or before the fifteenth day.” Xuan Shijing said: “This time Li Yuanjing’s preparations are hasty. If he doesn’t have enough bargaining chips, I’m afraid he will The people under him are also worried."

"There is still a large army stationed on the border of Hanzhou. I'm afraid Li Yuanjing doesn't know about it." Qian Dui said, "So, what I can't figure out now is how sure is Li Yuanjing to leave Chang'an and go back to Jingzhou at this juncture. , if he did this, if His Majesty originally doubted it, it would become a complete affirmation in this way."

"The imperial court will not use the troops on the border of Hanzhou. Now Lu Dongzan is still in Chang'an to propose marriage to Songtsen Gampo. If Datang refuses, it will lose Tubo's face, and the two sides will definitely have friction again. The army on the border of Hanzhou will never move until this matter is settled," Xuan Shijing said.

This is the news that Xuan Shijing heard from Jin Yang. Even if he wanted to judge, the local government soldiers would be touched by each government, and then the imperial court would send generals to sit in the town.

The so-called implementation of the Tang Dynasty's peace with Tubo refers to the fact that Lu Dongzan took people away. This is considered to be an implementation. But now this strategy is only set, and there is no specific candidate, so natural defenses cannot be withdrawn.
