Xuannv Heart Sutra

Chapter 161 Temptation and Threat (1) (1)
There are two men standing outside the door, the older one is about 40 years old, with average appearance, with a pair of very slender and white hands, the slender fingers look like a woman's small hands, a man owns a pair of women's hands What does that mean? Zhou Quan knows this week, which means that the middle-aged man in front of him is definitely a good hidden weapon. The hands of this middle-aged man are born to use hidden weapons. Zhou Quan looked at the middle-aged man vigilantly. If the opponent's hands moved a little, he would chop off the middle-aged man's hands with his sword without hesitation.

Standing next to the middle-aged man was a boy in his 20s. The boy was wearing a fine silk shirt. Zhou Quan knew that the silk shirt was definitely hand-woven. Only two denarii will do.The young man was handsome, and Zhou Quan, who thought he was already a good-looking talent, would inevitably show a bit of jealousy when he saw the young man. This man should really be reincarnated as a woman, but it's a pity that this good figure and His face changed, the young man stood in front of Zhou Quan, his body exuded a faint kingly aura, this aura is innate, and definitely cannot be cultivated the day after tomorrow.Zhou Quan couldn't help but linger on the young man's body for a while longer. It's not easy to come, and he doesn't know what kind of person it is?Who is the prince supposed to be?

"Old man Shao Fu, people in the Jianghu say that the old man is full of flowers and rain, Zhou Shaoxia, let's go into the room and talk! It's not convenient to talk here." Shao Fu looked at the corridor and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so he whispered.

Shao Fu put away his sword and moved out of the way. Seeing the two of them entered the room, he hurriedly closed the door, "Sit down wherever you want!" After finishing speaking, Zhou Quan sat at the table and watched silently. Although the boy's vigilance was much less, he did not relax his vigilance.

"You don't need to go in, it's the inner room, and my two wives are resting, Senior Shao." Seeing Shao Fu walking towards the inner room, Zhou Quan hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.

"Shao Fu, don't go, there is no need to look inside, we should trust Zhou Shaoxia." After the boy entered the room, he smelled an ambiguous smell in the whole room, which was left over from the battle between men and women," Zhou Shaoxia and This king is really a fellow! Fortunately, this king came a little late, otherwise, Zhou Shaoxia's elegance will be swept away. This king briefly introduces himself, loyal king Li Heng, I wonder if Zhou Shaoxia has heard of this king's name?" Li Heng looked at Zhou Quan with a slight smile on his face, giving people a feeling that he was easy to approach.

"It turned out to be His Highness the Crown Prince. Zhou Quan is very polite here. I have offended you just now. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me." Hearing Li Heng's words, Zhou Quan stood up and saluted Li Heng, "I don't know what is the purpose of His Royal Highness' late night visit?" What are you doing?"

"How dare you! How dare you! It's the king who came here abruptly, and I hope Zhou Shaoxia will forgive me. Sit down! Zhou Shaoxia, let's sit down and talk."

"It's Zhou Quan's honor to be able to meet His Highness the Crown Prince today. If His Highness the Crown Prince has orders, please feel free to speak. It is Zhou Quan's blessing to be able to serve His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Quan said happily in his heart. Worrying about how to get close to Li Heng, I didn't expect that Li Heng would come to his door on his own initiative, it really took no effort at all!

"Hehe, actually, this king specially came to visit Zhou Shaoxia tonight because someone recommended Zhou Shaoxia to this king. The martial arts of the imperial court is about to start. I wonder how much confidence Zhou Shaoxia has in this martial arts? This king listens to people. It is said that Zhou Shaoxia is young and promising, and his martial arts can already be regarded as a top master in the Jianghu. Thinking about it, Zhou Shaoxia is determined to win the first place in the imperial court's martial arts examination this time!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised Zhou Quan too much. Zhou Quan's martial arts can only be regarded as barely able to protect himself. There are many capable people in the Jianghu. Zhou Quan's three-legged kung fu is not considered a master! Zhou Quan came this time Participating in the imperial court's martial arts examination is just to learn experience, and to make a few like-minded friends. I don't know who the Crown Prince heard about Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan has only been in Chang'an for two days, and these two days I have never left the inn for half a step." Zhou Quan's eyes were still fixed on Shao Fu's hands, and Shao Fu's threat was the greatest.

"Zhou Shaoxia, don't misunderstand me. I didn't send anyone to monitor you. It was Li Fuguo who told me. He recommended Zhou Shaoxia to me. He said that Zhou Shaoxia's martial arts is not easy!"

"It turned out to be Eunuch Li! Coincidentally, I met Eunuch Li by accident on the way to Chang'an, and Eunuch Li did not know why, so he gave me a few tricks. I am ashamed to say that I am not Eunuch Li’s opponent, if Eunuch Li hadn’t been merciful, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to reach Chang’an. Eunuch Li’s martial arts skills are indeed high, and there should be few opponents in the Jianghu. I hope Eunuch Li didn’t blame me for offending him!”

"Haha Zhou Shaoxia should be modest! Li Fuguo told me that he played against you, but he was equal to the opponent! Now in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are very few young and promising young men like Zhou Shaoxia. I don't know if Zhou Shaoxia Do you intend to become an official?" Although Li Heng's words seem to be nonsense, there is something in them. Zhou Quan didn't want to become an official, why did he come all the way to Chang'an to take part in the imperial court's military examination?Winning over, although Li Heng said this very euphemistically, Zhou Quan still heard the meaning of Li Heng's words.

"I also have the same idea. However, I may not be able to enter the top ten in this martial arts examination. Try my best! If you try your best and still can't enter the top ten, then go back to Jiangnan and stay at home honestly , continue to practice, this session won’t work, isn’t there a next session? Just come and learn from experience.”

"Zhou Shaoxia, what you said is a bit insincere! If you can't even enter the top ten in terms of martial arts, then I am afraid that from the perspective of this king, Zhou Shaoxia will be the number one in the court martial arts this year. I will wait for you." After the martial arts examination, I gave Zhou Shaoxia a celebration feast, how about it? Zhou Shaoxia should not refuse my kindness! This king is waiting for Zhou Shaoxia’s good news in the palace, and I hope Zhou Shaoxia will not let me down. Good intentions! "

"Then let His Royal Highness make good use of his auspicious words. If Zhou Quan is really lucky enough to win the first place, he must come to chat with His Royal Highness for a meal." Zhou Quan also hinted that Li Heng, as long as he wins the martial arts examination The No. [-] scholar is willing to serve Li Heng.

"It's getting late, and I'm going back to the palace first. Shaoxia Zhou needs to rest more these days. Fu Shao, let's go." Li Heng sat in Zhou Quan's room for a few minutes, and got up to leave Well, this time when he came to find Zhou Quan, he had already achieved his first goal, and the remaining one was beyond his reach.

The door opened again, and Li Heng walked out regardless of Zhou Quan's persuasion. Shao Fu stretched out his right hand and patted Zhou Quan's shoulder lightly before leaving the door. It seemed that the light pat was actually , This palm has gathered Shao Fu's internal strength for decades. Li Heng didn't seem to see the movements of Zhou Quan and Shao Fu, and walked out on his own. Zhou Quan shook his shoulder and directly Shao Fu's right hand shook, "Senior Shao, you are not young, don't keep putting your palms on other people's bodies, fortunately I am young, otherwise, I can't bear your palm, go slowly, no Send it off." After finishing speaking, Zhou Quan closed the door.

After Li Heng and Shao Fu left, Zhou Quan said a word, "It's really cunning."

After Li Heng and Shao Fu returned to the East Palace, Li Heng asked, "Shao Fu, how is it? Did you test out Zhou Quan's martial arts? Is it really as unfathomable as Li Fuguo said?"

"His Royal Highness, the old man has tried Zhou Quan just now. The old man is not his opponent. I don't know the depth of his martial arts, but at least Zhou Quan's martial arts are better than the old man." Shao Fu ate in Zhou Quan's hand It was a secret loss, but he was the one who made the move first, so he was the only one who swallowed the loss. Just now, he was just testing Zhou Quan's martial arts. The husband's right hand was still injured by Zhou Quan's internal force, and until now, his right hand is still aching!

"Oh! From this point of view, it is still necessary for this king to win over Zhou Quan. Regardless of whether he can win the first prize in the martial arts examination this time, this king wants to keep him to serve him. How do you know Shao Fu's meaning?" Hearing Shao Fu's words, a golden light flashed in Li Heng's eyes.

"His Royal Highness, the old man has no opinion. However, the old man thinks that Zhou Quan's martial arts examination is a bit of a coincidence. If he wants to become an official with his skills, he doesn't need to participate in the military examination held by the court. With his skill, anyone would win him over. Don't you think it's superfluous for him to do this, Your Highness? There has never been a real master in every martial arts exam before, and this Zhou Quan's skill is in the You can definitely be regarded as a first-class master in the Jianghu. I am afraid that Zhou Quan may have other purposes in taking part in the martial arts examination this time. We have to guard against it?"

"Shaofu, do you mean that Zhou Quan was specially sent by Li Linfu to take part in this martial arts examination? Well! Indeed, this matter has to be guarded against. You send someone to watch over me 24 hours a day from tonight. Watch Zhou Quan, if he takes any action, tell me immediately." Li Heng nodded, now is the most critical time, and it cannot be ruled out that Zhou Quan belongs to Li Linfu. If everything is as Shao Fu thought, when the time comes Call Zhou Quan into the East Palace, then he will really die.

"His Royal Highness, the old man has sent someone to watch Zhou Quan on his own initiative. If there is any trouble, the old man will definitely tell you as soon as possible."
