Chapter 155
Liguo values culture over military affairs, and those who are used by the emperor are all civil servants in the court. Among the several major families in Liguo, all of them were born as civil servants, only the Cheng family is an exception.
The background of the Cheng family is different from that of several noble families in the Li country. The ancestors of the Cheng family started in the early days and used to be the little guards next to the founding emperor of the Li country. Therefore, he was named a first-class duke.
Originally, such an honor was hard to compare with ordinary families, but Liguo valued culture over martial arts. In these years of peace and prosperity, there has been no war in the country for a long time.
Until King Ping's rebellion, Ledu was surrounded by rebels. Cheng Meng led his soldiers to serve the king and tried his best to turn the tide and protect the emperor's prestige.
According to the rumors, Cheng Meng has the personality of a full-fledged martial artist with a violent temper, but he is loyal to Lord Qingli.And his son Cheng Zhiyu is a young talent with both civil and military skills, and he is very trusted by Lord Qingli.Over the years, the relationship between the emperor and the empress has been very rigid, but because of Cheng Zhiyu's dealings, Lord Qingli thinks Cheng Zhiyu's face is justified by the superficial efforts of the empress.
The most prosperous place in Liguo naturally belongs to Ledu. The most prosperous place in Ledu is Luohua Street. Here, the ten-mile long street is crowded with cars and horses. At the end of Luohua Street, it is another beautiful scenery.
This place is very quiet, there are many high-rise buildings, the layout is actually similar to that of Xi Kingdom, the people who live here are all dignitaries from the court of Li Kingdom, and none of the officials who live here are below the fourth rank .
Regarding this point, Fu Yunshu and Xie Yuanbao have studied it. If you want to overthrow the court of Xi Kingdom, it is far from as complicated as assassinating the emperor. Just set a fire in the alley here or plant a thunderbolt, and the whole The foundation of government is gone.But this place is also the place with the densest guards in Kyoto, and the mansion here has the best fire prevention function. As for burying the thunder... I am afraid that the hidden guards will be pulled out before the hole is dug.
While Fu Yunshu was thinking wildly, the carriage stopped at a mansion.
There are two stone sculptures on both sides of the mansion here, which are different from other official mansions. They are not stone lions, but white tigers. This is also a generous gift from the Emperor Li to the Cheng family.
There is a plaque hanging on the vermilion gate. On the plaque, there is a large word "Chengfu" written with iron and silver hooks. It is written vigorously, which is different from the words of ordinary literati. It is said that it was written by the founding emperor who left the country. .
Xie Yizhi handed over the greeting card, and the servants saw that it was Fu Yunshu and Xie Yizhi, and hurriedly introduced them in. After entering, Fu Yunshu realized that the inside was different from ordinary places.
The Fu family is the mansion of a high-ranking member of the court, and the Fu family is a family of hairpin tassels. Since they were born as literati, since ancient times, literati have always been there with a bit of integrity. The Fu family is not as luxurious as ordinary families, but there are The century-old family background is there, low-key and extravagant.
But this Cheng's mansion is far different from the Fu's family. Liguo is rich and extravagant. Comparing, wishing to show the wealth and honor of the family in the construction of the house.
But the Cheng mansion is only planted with ordinary flowers and trees, mostly pines and cypresses, and there are not many pavilions in the mansion. The huge mansion training field occupies more than half of the place, and there are eighteen kinds of weapons on it. Fu Yunshu My eyes are dazzled, some of them have never been seen before.
It is said that all Cheng family members are martial idiots, and it is true.
When the servants led Fu Yunshu and Xie Yizhi to the training ground, they were competing in martial arts, one with a sword and the other with a knife.
The two contestants are none other than Cheng Zhiyu and Cheng Lie.Before Fu Yunshu saw Cheng Lie in the court, he only knew that this woman must be very talented if she could become a female official in the court, but she didn't expect her martial arts to be so good.When thinking of this, Fu Yunshu couldn't help but feel a little bit of Hao Ran. She is a fifth-rank female official with both civil and military skills, but she is mediocre, but she was named a fourth-rank female official by virtue of Xiao Que's relationship. Will speak out to provoke her.
In fact, it is not so much a competition between two people, it is better to say that it is appropriate for each other to practice with each other. Each move is complicated, and the two of them come and go. In the air, only two figures, one in black and one in red, are flying around. Fu Yunshu only knows that Cheng Lie's literary talent is good, but he didn't expect his martial arts to be so good.
Although Cheng Zhiyu's weapon is a big sword, but in his hands the martial arts are flowing and smooth, and his movements are very elegant and graceful, while Cheng Lie's red clothes are flying in the air, soft and firm, not inferior to Cheng Zhiyu.
Xie Yizhi watched carefully from the side, Fu Yunshu saw Xie Yizhi's left eyebrow raised, but it was also at this moment that the sword in Cheng Lie's hand was lifted by Cheng Zhiyu and drew an arc in the air, and it was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional. Beside Fu Yunshu, the long sword was still trembling...
If it was an ordinary woman, she would have been frightened by the long sword falling beside her. Xie Yizhi frowned at the long sword, but Fu Yunshu had a smile on his lips, and his face did not change, but Cheng Zhiyu's face changed. To Fu Yunshu Said: "Master Fu is all right."
And Cheng Lie hurriedly apologized to Fu Yunshu: "Master Fu offended me. I lost my composure in the competition with my cousin. I didn't see Master Fu standing here. If I hurt Master Fu, I deserve to die."
Fu Yunshu said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Cheng is very skilled in martial arts. The competition between the two is really exciting. I was fascinated by it for a while, so I forgot to avoid it."
A few words easily resolved Cheng Lie's embarrassment. Everyone knew her. After being courteous, Cheng Lie saw Fu Yunshu praise her, but he was not as shy as ordinary women, but smiled and said: "I'm just Master Fu laughed because of his petty tricks, the martial arts competition with my cousin just now was just a warm-up, and I have been waiting for General Xie to come."
Xie Yizhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Lie puzzled, but he saw Cheng Lie said with a smile: "My cousin had heard about the general's martial arts skills when he left the country, and he always wanted to compete with the general, but he was afraid of hurting his friendship. Since we meet at the martial arts training ground today, why don't we have a competition."
When he was talking, Cheng Lie smiled with crooked eyebrows, his bright smile added a touch of color to the original ordinary facial features, which was very different from the solemn and dignified appearance in the palace.
"Nonsense, General Xie is a distinguished guest when he passes the house, how can he do it?" Obviously, no matter how mature Cheng Lie is in his life, but he is very favored at home, Cheng Zhiyu knows his cousin's mischievous character, and said Cheng Lie with a smile , but looked at Xie Yizhi with burning eyes. Although Cheng Zhiyu's character was much calmer than Cheng Meng's, he inherited Cheng Meng's character and was a martial idiot.
"Cousin, when you do it, it's better not to hurt each other." Cheng Lie took a long gun from the weapon rack on one side and said: "I heard that General Xie is used to guns, but I don't know this gun. Do you agree or not?"
Xie Yizhi took the spear thrown by Cheng Lie. In the current situation, even if he didn't want to compete, he had to compete.Xie Yizhi took the spear, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I'll ask General Cheng for advice."
There was a faint smile on the corner of Xie Yizhi's mouth, but Fu Yunshu knew that Xie Yizhi had been irritated long ago when the Cheng brothers and sisters sang together.As soon as he arrived in Liguo, Cheng Meng provoked Xie Yizhi with rude words, because the queen's edict from the central palace came in time, so the two didn't fight each other.
Now that Cheng's family came down to pay their respects to the post house, they had to compete with Xie Yizhi just now, if Xie Yizhi didn't come down, it seemed that they were afraid of Cheng's family.
This kind of humiliation is unbearable to most people, not to mention Xie Yizhi, who is already proud and arrogant. What's more, Xie Yizhi represents the country of Xi as an envoy, if he doesn't fight, he will lose the face of the country.
However, Cheng Zhiyu also threw the long knife in his hand aside, and replaced it with a convenient long knife from the weapon rack, obviously not wanting to take advantage of Xie Yizhi in terms of weapons.From this point of view, Cheng Zhiyu can be considered a gentleman.
However, Fu Yunshu's brows were slightly frowned, and his hands were unintentionally pinching the corners of his clothes. What was the other party's purpose?Do you have to compete with Xie Yizhi?
He couldn't help but think of the "be careful" that Xiao Que whispered in his ear when he was about to get on the carriage. Could it be that there is some hidden danger in the Cheng family?
While Fu Yunshu was thinking, Cheng Zhiyu swung his saber in front of Xie Yizhi, with a flash of silver light, he approached Xie Yizhi's eyebrows, Xie Yizhi swung his spear, dodged Cheng Zhiyu's saber, took a step back, Cheng Zhiyu's saber skill arrived very quickly in front of you.Xie Yizhi's eyebrows and eyes no longer had the usual playful look, and he was very serious.
If the previous competition between Cheng Zhiyu and Cheng Lie was a gentle and drizzle-like swordsmanship performance, then now the competition between Cheng Zhiyu and Xie Yizhi is a real expert confrontation, there are no complicated movements, only swords and swords can be heard, Meeting each other is like fighting on the battlefield.
Even a person like Fu Yunshu who doesn't understand martial arts can't help but see his blood swell.
The competition between the two became more and more urgent, and Fu Yunshu couldn't see the figures of the two clearly. He only saw one black and one red figure intertwined in the air, and he couldn't tell who was who.Even Fu Yunshu, who was a few feet away, sensed that the relationship between the two had reached a critical juncture. Fu Yunshu's hands in his sleeves were clenched unconsciously, and a light layer of sweat had already emerged from his palms.
Fu Yunshu heard Cheng Lie say "huh", and at the same time as her voice fell, a long knife was picked up and fell to the side, three feet into the ground, the hard ground was shaken out of a hole, Xie Yizhi stopped, He said with a smile: "General Cheng has accepted."
Xie Yizhi smiled and threw the spear on the weapon rack. On the ground was the long knife that Xie Yizhi picked up. Obviously, Cheng Zhiyu lost in this fight...
