Hou Peijing stood in front of the two elders of the Poison Curse Cult with a smile and said: "Are you looking for me? Feng Biqing, why are you getting bigger and bigger? And you, Tongkong, eat less and stretch like a ball. You two are still lingering." I’ve been chasing me for almost ten years. If I were a bitch, I might have caught up with you two. Seeing how sincere you two are, I’m really impatient. Let’s get close to you two today.”
The tall man Feng Biqing looked at Hou Peijing in surprise and stammered: "You, you, you -" The short and fat boy Tong Kong reacted quickly and exclaimed: "Oh no, the ruthless knot has been resolved by him." Feng Biqing's hands flew around and struck out continuously. Thin black threads shot out from the fingertips of various knot seals and they saw Hou Pijing motionless. Shocked and panicked looks appeared on the two people's faces. If the ruthless knot hadn't controlled him, even if he had poured out all his poisonous spells, all the masters in the sect would not have been his match.
"Hahaha - haha - I've endured it for ten years, you two are really awesome for chasing me around." Hou Peijing stretched out his big finger and slapped each other twice without any warning. Hou Peijing still stood where he was. He raised his big finger and the two of them were so frightened that they spit out a few teeth at the same time.
The four of them, Li Qiang, hid in the bushes and peeked. Among the four, only Li Qiang faintly saw Hou Peijing's quick movements. The other three felt inexplicable and didn't understand why he could hit people even while standing still.
Feng Biqing and Tong Kong looked at each other, and they made a strange seal at the same time. Feng Biqing's seal sprayed out a cloud of black silk, and the black silk swam toward Hou Peijing from all directions like a living creature. Tong Kong's seal turned into a strange green color. The fog drifts into the black thread.
"Ten Thousand Curses and Hearts" is the most domineering attack curse of the Poison Curse Cult. Hou Peijing laughed and said: "This thing is useless in front of me. Haha, Ten Thousand Curses and Hearts can only bully children." With a wave of his hand, one can do it. A giant hand with a white light was braving the cold air and flew out from the wrist. The black threads flew out like snowflakes and fell into the fire. They immediately turned into nothing. The two people spat out blood at the same time and were seriously injured.
Zheng Peng said in surprise: "This is the Cold Spirit Giant Palm! It's great that I have learned it too." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "It will take at least hundreds of years of practice for you to reach the level of a master." Zheng Peng rolled his eyes at him and said: " It also hurts my confidence."
Feng Biqing shouted: "The old guy is too powerful, let's go"
The two of them disappeared out of thin air.
Hou Peijing sneered coldly: "Come on, I haven't gotten close to you yet." Before he finished speaking, there was a ping-dong sound and the two people appeared not far away. The short and fat Tong Kong shouted: "We give up, you are the senior." Master, you have the nerve to argue with us juniors."
Hou Peijing said happily: "I don't care, I won't kill you two bastards. I just want to get close to you to repay the kindness of the two of you who have been chasing me for ten years." He slowly walked up to them, which surprised Li Qiang and the others. It was Hou Peijing who actually punched and kicked them both like scoundrels fighting on the street. It was very enjoyable to punch and beat them to the flesh. After a while, the two of them were lying on the ground like mud, and they got away from him unceremoniously. They found a bunch of things on their bodies and clapped their hands and said, "Tell you, the leader, I will come to see him in the morning and ask him to get ready. Get out of here."
Li Qiang and the other four applauded. Mei Jingjing flattered her with a smile and said, "Senior Hou is really majestic and brave. He can't fight back against two bad guys. I admire you so much, hehe." Hou Peijing shuddered and said, "Don't Don't flatter me, you are a little scoundrel, I don't know what you are thinking, little girl."
The four people laughed together and Hou Peijing said: "Hey, I did something wrong in my previous life and made me meet you little villains. This one is for you and this one is for the black boy." Zhao Hao said: "Uncle, mine is mine." Li Qiang also joined in the fun and shouted: "Do I have any?" Ah," Hou Peijing shook his hands and said, "No, no, those two guys only have this valuable thing and nothing else. If you want me, even my underwear will be pawned."
What Mei Jingjing and Zheng Peng got was a very practical storage belt. Although it was not as good as Li Qiang's bracelet, it could still store a lot of items. Zhao Hao was not sad when he didn't get anything. After all, he had been wandering in the world for many years and knew that he could have it. A master like Li Qiang is already smoking on the grave of his ancestors. If Li Qiang hadn't been ignorant, who would have accepted a seventy-year-old man as his disciple.
Hou Peijing asked: "Brothers, let's go to the capital first."
"It's great to go to the capital to play." Mei Jingjing cheered. These days of practice have made her exhausted.
Thanks to Hou Peijing's teleportation, the five of them reached the capital easily.
After entering the capital, Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Master, uncle, I will go to my disciple's house to rest first. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to tour the whole city."
Li Qiang asked after a while: "Brother, what do you think?" Hou Peijing looked a little strange and said absently: "The changes are really big, oh, let's go to your apprentice's house." Zhao Hao said strangely: "Master, you are familiar with this place."
He sighed and said, "Yes, I haven't been here for more than 40 years. There used to be a Ching Kee Oil Shop here, but now it's a pawn shop."
Li Qiang was deeply touched and didn't know what his hometown would be like if he could go back.
A group of people came to Zhao Hao's house and Mei Jingjing exclaimed: "Wow, so you are a rich man? Is Zhao Jibao Silver Jewelry Gold Store the silver store opened by you?" Zhao Hao said with a smile: "Yes, I will let them get the best gold store later." I'll let you choose the silver jewelry." Mei Jingjing said happily: "It's true that Niuniu has no money." Li Qiang laughed and said: "How dare he ask for Niuniu's money."
As soon as Zhao Hao entered the door, the whole silver building was in chaos. The news of their disappearance in the Baiwei Restaurant in Panshi Town had spread to the silver building. Several of Zhao Hao's children and grandchildren rushed to the capital and sent many experts along the way to search for them. Just when they were exhausted, they came back. .
As soon as he got home, Zhao Hao showed off his power as an old man and arranged everyone in the best room. He held a sumptuous banquet in the living room and entertained them as best he could. Hou Peijing smiled and said, "I really envy this kid so many children and grandchildren." "It's so miserable for me that none of my relatives are here anymore." Zhao Hao, a smart man, immediately said: "Master's disciple's family is your family. As long as you return to your hometown in Song Dynasty and come to Yinlou at any time, we will honor you well." .”
A young boy came in and reported: "Master Cheng, please see me."
Cheng Zhong walked in and shouted: "Oh, Mr. Li, you scared me to death. We have been waiting in Panshi Town for two whole days. If you don't come back, I will drown myself in the river." He thought to himself: "Thank God, if you run away, the emperor will still be there." If you don't cut off my head." Seeing Hou Peijing and Cheng Zizhong sitting at the table, he asked in surprise: "This is -"
Li Qiang introduced: "He is my brother. My brother, this is Master Cheng Zhongcheng." Cheng Zichong said hurriedly: "I have met the old man." Hou Peijing snorted and said: "That's all." He looked arrogant. Cheng Zi said seriously: "If it weren't for Mr. Li's sake, who is a bad old man like you? Who would care about you if you don't put on such a big show?" A look of displeasure appeared on his face.
Li Qiang smiled slightly and said, "Old Master, please sit down." He then said, "Should I go to see the Emperor?"
Cheng Zizhong said: "Yes, Lord Li, it's best to go to the palace tomorrow morning. I will accompany you to the palace." Mei Jingjing was unhappy and said, "Brother, why are you going to the palace? Niuniu still wants to go shopping tomorrow. How can we go and play when you enter the palace?" ." Zhao Hao interjected: "Don't worry, Niuniu. I will accompany you to the capital tomorrow. There are many fun places. Let's take our time and play. Master, he will be back soon after seeing the emperor."
"Forget it, brother, come back soon after seeing the emperor, Niuniu is waiting for you." She said helplessly and asked, "Senior Hou, will you go with us tomorrow too? Little girl, I'm afraid there won't be too many people.
Hou Peijing shook his head and said, "Tomorrow I will accompany my brothers to the palace. You go and have fun first." Cheng Zizhong said in surprise, "How can you enter the palace without an edict?" Hou Peijing glanced at Cheng Zizhong with his eyes like a knife and said, "I There is never any order required to enter the palace. I would not go unless I accompany my brother."
Being glanced at by his eyes, Cheng Zizhong felt a tremor in his heart. He couldn't figure out the bottom of this bad old man. He didn't know what this man who spoke in vulgar terms did. He thought to himself: "It's good that there are guards at the palace gate to stop him." Cheng Zizhong thought. He was extremely tactful and said with a smile: "Of course, since the old man is going to go, the three of us will enter the palace together tomorrow."
In the early morning of the next day, Li Qiang and the others arrived at the gate of the palace on time.
Cheng Zizhong handed the imperial edict to the guard at the door. The guard knelt down after reading it and stood up and said: "Master Cheng, please, Master Li."
Hou Peijing followed and walked in. Several guards stepped forward to stop them and shouted: "The rest of us can't wait inside. Stop here." Cheng Zizhong smiled secretly: "Let me see what you do."
Hou Peijing sneered coldly and said, "It's better to catch the dog's eyes when it sees someone." He shot out a sign from his hand.
Several guards took it and all of them knelt down in unison.
The entrance to the palace fell silent for a moment, and a guard turned around and ran towards the palace.
The guard who received the card respectfully kowtowed his hands, held up the small sign, and said in a tone of great reverence: "The foreman of the second-class, fourth-grade sword-wielding guards led the guards to welcome Prince Dazhiwei."
Cheng Zizhong almost collapsed from fear and knelt down. Of course he knew who Prince Dazhiwei was, but he never expected that it was the bad old man who came with him.
Hou Peijing was the standard imperial relative of the old Song Dynasty. His original name was Zhao Yue. Master gave him the name Hou Peijing. When he was young, he even gave up ascending to the throne for the sake of cultivation. When he became the emperor, his younger brother ascended the throne and accepted the unification. He was named the third member of the royal family. A relative of the clan conferred the title of Prince of Great Wisdom and Power.
In order to better cultivate, he went to Bada Star with his master. When he returned to his hometown after completing his cultivation, he found that everything had changed beyond recognition with the passage of time. Out of consideration for protecting his homeland, he had helped the old Song Dynasty to survive many times. Therefore, Yan Guan had an extremely high status in the Song Dynasty. However, he had not returned to the palace for more than 40 years.
After taking the sign, Hou Peijing said: "Everyone, get up." He smiled and winked at Li Qiang and said through the message: "How are you, brother?" Li Qiang was also surprised, and he didn't expect that he was still a prince. He sent the message back: "I said Don't be a fake. It won't be fun if you expose it." Hou Peijing said through the voice: "I don't care if there is something fake about this."
A eunuch drake came out of the palace and said in a long voice: "The emperor has arrived——"
Cheng Zizhong felt regretful that he had missed such a good opportunity to get close to him yesterday. He really responded to Hou Peijing's words of looking down on others. He was also secretly glad that he had not offended him yesterday.
The royal chariot stopped at the entrance of the palace. Two eunuchs supported the emperor and stepped down from the royal chariot to greet Hou Peijing with a smile on his face.
The emperor walked past the guards, eunuchs and maids who were standing around and knelt down like grass blown by the wind.
"Emperor, you are still the same as before. It has been more than forty years since we were separated. I miss you so much that you have finally returned to the palace." The emperor's tone was extremely kind. Cheng Zizhong knelt on the ground and thought to himself: "More than forty years ago. If the emperor had not had the support of the prince, he would never have been able to sit on this throne. Of course, it would be different for him."
Hou Peijing does not have to kneel down. He is an ancestor of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. The emperor will bow to him when he sees him. Although Li Qiang understands that he should kneel down when he sees the emperor, he is not educated in this way, so he stands like Hou Peijing. Not moving.
Hou Peijing said with a smile: "Haha, I'm happy to see the emperor's face glowing red. But if it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't have returned to the palace this time." Everyone was so frightened that they had been working in the palace for so many years and no one dared to come here. The emperor spoke like an old man in front of him. Cheng Zizhong now remembered that Hou Peijing was really polite to him yesterday.
The emperor knew this ancestor very well and knew that he had always been like this. He glanced at Cheng Zizhong and smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the young hero with great power in Hanlin City turned out to be the brother of the emperor." He thought to himself: "No wonder. This is what it means to be able to speak royal Mandarin." Li Qiang couldn't explain this misunderstanding clearly.
Li Qiang felt troubled when he heard the emperor talking to him. He still didn't understand palace etiquette. He hesitated for a moment. Li Qiang suddenly remembered the TV series he had watched before and immediately had an idea. He stepped forward and bowed: "Li Qiang, a common man, pays homage to the emperor."
Cheng Zizhong secretly told Ku Yuan that he was planning to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to learn etiquette first and then meet the emperor. He didn't expect that the emperor would personally greet the Holy King at the gate of the palace, which caught him off guard. The emperor wanted to blame him, but he couldn't express his pain.
Hou Peijing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my brother doesn't understand these rules, so don't make things difficult for him."
The emperor also smiled and said, "Well, please come to the palace and we can talk about it later. I have something I would like to hear your opinion on."
The emperor's chariot, led by two pairs of eunuchs and maids, then came to the emperor's study in great force.
Li Qiang looked up at the plaque and saw the three large characters "Ting Yu Xuan" written in extremely thin gold with strong and powerful strokes.
After being given the seat, Hou Peijing was most impatient with the royal etiquette and said: "The emperor ordered my brother to let him enter the worship hall. But I will tell you first that his sect is the Chongxuan sect. Fu Chongbi is his eldest brother. If the emperor can You should understand the relationship between him and the Han Dynasty after he is recruited into the Song Dynasty." The emperor could not communicate and nodded slightly.
The emperor's face remained calm, but his heart was excited. The emperor's grandfather really still cared about the meaning of Fu Chongbi and the Chongxuan sect in his homeland. As an emperor, he understood best the status of Fu Shan in the Han Dynasty and Hou Peijing's status in the old Song Dynasty. The emperor, who was generally revered as the "God of the Protector of the Country", specially revealed this important information to him, which made him immediately have an idea in his mind.
The emperor's tone became more kind and he said with a smile: "Li Aiqing saved countless people in Hanlin City this time and injured Engang, the leader of the Black Flag Army. Therefore, the Black Flag Army retreated. For such meritorious deeds, I will give you a good reward." It is said that the Privy Council granted Li Qiang the rank of General Huwei, with the privilege of going to court without paying homage."
Li Qiang was really going to faint and became an official for no apparent reason. He looked at Hou Peijing and stuttered a little: "This - that -" Hou Peijing, an old fox, took advantage of Li Qiang not waking up and said: "Brother. Being an official in the worship hall is very relaxing. You can do whatever you want without having to go to court. Where can you find your salary? You can get such a good thing quickly and get the decree." I felt secretly happy.
Li Qiang said in confusion: "Li Qiang accepts the decree." The emperor's heart immediately relaxed. Long Yan Dayue said again: "Give General Huwei a manor, a thousand taels of gold, and ten bottles of royal wine." Li Qiang was so surprised that he couldn't close it. Ever since I was a child, I have never seen anything like this and such a generous reward.
Cheng Zizhong stood aside with his hands down, feeling shocked at such a heavy reward. As a "patrol envoy" of the old Song Dynasty, he was also considered a confidant of the emperor. He had never seen the emperor reward anyone so heavily, and he felt confused.
Hou Peijing said: "My palace has been empty for so many years. I am too lazy to leave it and it is a waste. Why don't I give it to my brother to be the government office." The emperor was startled and said hurriedly: "It must be the palace of the emperor. How dare I, who respect you so much, give it to others."
Hou Peijing glared and said unreasonably: "It's fine as long as I say the house is for my brothers, I can't use it the same way."
The emperor couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Can't I just listen to you and listen to you?"
Cheng Zizhong was really frightened when Hou Peijing said something to his left and right to me, and he thought: "The Holy King is so disrespectful. No wonder I can't figure out who he is in the Silver Tower."
Li Qiang is also thinking about the so-called no reward for no merit. My little contribution in Hanlin City is not worthy of such a reward. Is it wrong to value me as a cultivator so that I can fight for him? There can be someone as powerful as Hou Peijing in the palace. It is impossible for a master to not have other masters. Why? I am puzzled.
A eunuch reported: "I am reporting to the Emperor Li Tang's special envoy to ask for an audience."
The emperor said: "Take it to Yihe Hall and wait until the Privy Council Envoy, Minister of War and the Minister of Rites, enters the palace."
After waving the others to exit, Li Qiang also wanted to leave but Hou Peijing kept him there. Only three people were left in the study.
The emperor said: "The relationship between the emperor and the Litang Kingdom has been very tense recently. There may be a war. Fortunately, you are here to make me feel at ease. Please give me an idea." Hou Peijing said: "The emperor also knows the national cultivation masters in the Green Basin. You are not allowed to participate in the war. You have to decide for yourself how to do it. At best, I can give you some advice. It’s not convenient for me to step forward."
The emperor smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I understand." There is an unwritten rule in the world of cultivation. No matter what planet they are on, cultivation masters are not allowed to participate in wars between local countries because the destructive power of cultivation masters is too amazing. Such fights will only make people miserable. Both sides have been severely damaged, so if a cultivation master directly participates in the war, it will cause punishment from the cultivation world.
The emperor sighed and said, "The special envoy from Litang Kingdom has already entered the palace. If this negotiation fails, I'm afraid - alas."
Li Qiang asked curiously: "What is the reason for the dispute with Li Tang?"
Hou Peijing's eyes lit up and he looked at the emperor with hidden meaning, pouting at the emperor and secretly pointing at Li Qiang.
The emperor was slightly startled, but he also suddenly realized that the ready-made negotiator was someone with the background of Fu Shan's Han Dynasty. It was very appropriate to negotiate with him. As long as he used it skillfully, he could be a million soldiers.
The emperor laughed happily.
Li Qiang didn't know that he was bought by Hou Peijing, but he still counted the money with a smile.
