Chapter forty-fifth first ceremony
The disappearance of Xia Nichuan, the informant from the Queen, and the Wang family's foreign residence are full of weirdness. However, Qi Jun is a brave man, and the right and wrong of these battles in the court are not in his eyes. The only thing in his heart is,
The first thing is to get your family out safely.
Qi Jun showed off his power and fought one against eight in Wang's house, leaving only two swordsmen struggling to support him. At this moment, a strong ban was suddenly heard from the inner door, and the two swordsmen obeyed the order.
When he wanted to give up, Qi Jun didn't care. He jumped out of the vat and still attacked like a storm.
Seeing that Qi Jun refused to stop, the caller flew into the circle and pushed Qi Jun with a palm.
When Qi Jun saw someone volleying, he quickly attacked with his backhand.
The caller received Qi Jun's three moves smoothly and steadily. The two swordsmen took the opportunity to walk away, lifted up the vat, and released the man who had been holding back.
The caller spoke while dismantling his tactics: "Young City Lord, please stop fighting and listen to the next words."
Qi Jun was secretly shocked by this man's great kung fu, but his hands did not slow down. "I will stop as soon as I let him go."
Seeing that the man couldn't stop trying to persuade him, Qi Jun calmed down and began to dismantle him. Qi Jun wanted to explore this man's methods, but did not attack blindly. After ten moves, the man actually found an opening and jumped out of the circle continuously.
Qi Jun stopped chasing and the two sides stopped fighting.
At this moment, there were more than ten people in purple clothes in the courtyard, surrounded by five men in official clothes. The first one was the man who had just fought with Qi Junqian. This man was tall and handsome, with a white face and five long beards, which were faintly revealed.
He has an official power. There are two people on his left and right, ranging in age from 30 to 40 years old, but they all have ferocious looks, and their faces are quite different from that of the leader. But since they are military attachés, who cares about them?
face.
The leading official clasped his fists and saluted: "City Master Qi Shao came to the humble residence in person, and Bai did not come far to greet me. Please forgive me!"
Qi Jun's face was as frosty as ice: "Your mansion is well prepared to welcome guests, how can ordinary people dare to set foot there!"
"It's all servants who don't know how to handle things. I will deal with them well. I won't have to apologize to the young city lord for this!" The official bowed deeply.
Qi Jun was willing to accept soft things rather than hard ones. Seeing his master's humility, his anger subsided a little. "Where is Master Xia?"
"Master Xia is having tea in the hall, and Young City Master can meet him when he enters the hall."
"You are very polite. You kidnapped someone and invited me to drink tea. You are really knowledgeable!"
"Where did the young city master come from? We never kidnapped anyone. Master Xia was invited here with good words."
"That's strange. When did Xia Nichuan become such a good friend that he left the young master alone and came to drink tea by himself?"
The official smiled slightly: "There is another reason here, and I would like to ask the young city lord to come to the hall to explain it." After saying this, he waved his hands and everyone made way for a passage.
Qi Jun was magnanimous and calm, and was not afraid of the large number of people here, so he followed them directly to the front hall.
Looking all the way, I saw that the courtyard has high walls, wide houses and exquisite gardening, which is obviously a royal style. After passing through the two-story courtyard, I arrived at the one-acre courtyard. The ground was cleanly paved with bluestone slabs, and there were glazed tiles and a small hall with red pillars.
, a colorful ink painting "Picture of Zhong Kui Devouring the Evil One" hangs high on the gable wall in the palace. Zhong Kui has an exaggerated expression, his beard is spread out, he is tearing off the bloody little devil's limbs and putting them in his mouth, with a wildly scrawled inscription "Eating all the ugliness in the world".
Below the picture is a mahogany chair with flowing water and stone patterns. There are eight welcoming chairs on both sides. The official asked Qi Jun to take the first guest seat on the right, and he sat on the left to accompany him. Four other officials accompanied him on both sides.
The rest of the people stood in the open space behind the chairs.
Qi Jun originally thought that this white-faced official was the owner of this place, but he didn't expect that the grand master's chair in the main seat was still empty. He then realized that only Gao Liwen could sit in that chair.
The official ordered to watch the tea, and the servants brought six small tables and placed them in front of everyone. After leading the tea ceremony, the official saw that Qi Jun was not drinking with him, so he laughed and said, "Why, City Master Qi Shao is afraid that my tea is poisonous?"
Qi Jun curled his lips: "I'm afraid of trouble. Whatever medicine you are selling in the gourd, please pour it out quickly!"
The official paused for a moment and then said seriously: "Xia Shang Bai Xia Qian. This is Huangfu Lianzhi." He pointed at the tall and strong man, and then introduced Qi Jun one by one, "This is Guan Qiubei. This is Yu Zhan, and this is Dou Guankui. The five of us are not talented, so we are called the 'Five Tiger Generals' under King Ying."
Qi Jun had never heard of these five people. It was enough to know that there was King Ying in the court. He just nodded slightly, with an arrogant look on his face. The four generals looked at him very unhappy.
Bai Qian was still very polite: "Young City Lord, it's really rude of my subordinates to take care of me. That night, the prince sent an order to Bingxian County to greet the Pu Nuo Kingdom's special envoy. I never thought that these people would make the wrong mistake and ruin the prince's good life." "Invite me" was understood as robbing someone. Later, the young city lord chased me all the way. They thought they had offended a local snake, so they hurriedly took the two envoys back to the capital at full speed."
Bai Qian saw that Qi Jun didn't answer and continued.
"After hearing the news, I gave these people a hard lesson yesterday. According to what they said, I expected that the pursuers were heroes from Tinglei City. I went to the inn to invite them this morning. I feel ashamed to say that. , the people sent out still failed to live up to expectations and snatched Master Xia back. Fortunately, Master Xia was not harmed, otherwise I would not be able to escape the crime. "
Qi Jun sneered: "What a coincidence. Two invitations and two misunderstandings. I think it's time to change your servants. Keep these idiots and fools, which really insults King Ying's identity. Since it is Misunderstanding, let him go immediately!"
Bai Qian smiled awkwardly and continued: "After inviting Master Xia, I heard that the young city lord came to Zhongxuan in person. I was hesitating whether to inform the prince to greet him in person, but the young city lord had already come over, so there were these misunderstandings. I just wonder how you found this place?"
Bai Qian and the young eunuch each insisted that one of them must be lying. Qi Jun was not in a hurry and asked slowly: "What virtue and ability do I have that I dare to ask the prince to come and invite me in person?"
Bai Qi'an said: "When the prince is employing people, he has long heard the rumors in Xijiang about the heroic reputation of Leicheng Qi Xiao Qi Jun and his son, but has never been able to see the hero in person. This time the young city master is in Zhongxuan, and we are the subordinates. How could you not report it to him!"
Qi Jun said honestly and politely: "When it comes to hiring people? Prince Ying wants to compete with the prince for the position of heir apparent?"
Everyone changed their expressions after hearing this, Bai Qian said hurriedly: "Where did the young city master hear the rumors? Could it be that *** made it out of thin air? My prince has always been loyal to the king and served the country, and he has no personal feelings. However, the prince always thinks about his high achievements and high respect. The young city lord must not trust the villain to try to estrange him!"
Qi Jun doesn't want to worry about these power struggles in the palace. He only has two things to do. "There's no room for estrangement. I'm not one of King Ying's people. I have no interest in inquiring about the affairs between the Crown Prince and King Ying. "Tonghe, I came here today to take Master Xia away, and to inquire about the whereabouts of the male and female envoys from that country."
Huangfu Lianzhi, who was opposite him, had long been secretly angry at Qi Jun's unruliness. Now he couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to scold him.
"Who do you think you are? How can my prince owe you anything? You ridicule every word as if you were eating a piece of meat? If you had been a kind person, we would have let you go, but you are not only aggressive, but also
I want to inquire about the envoy. This is a state matter, and it is not something that the common people in your border area can interfere with?"
