At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud voice saying loudly: "What are you making a fuss about? Let me see who dares to make trouble in front of Prince Yan's Mansion!" The sound was like a loud bell, which made everyone's eardrums buzz. Hu Xiaotian was startled in his heart.
You can tell from the sound that a person has strong inner strength.
Everyone stopped and followed the sound, only to see the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion parting from the middle, and a middle-aged man wearing gray cloth walked out first. That man was Tie Zheng, the manager of Prince Yan's Mansion. He was of medium height and could not be considered a tall man.
He is tall and burly, but his steps are determined and rooted in each step. His eyes are full of brilliance, his temples are bulging high on both sides, and his big hands are much larger than those of ordinary people, and they do not seem commensurate with his figure.
The gatekeeper warrior hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear. Tie Zheng stared at Hu Xiaotian and said coldly: "Are you making trouble?"
Hu Xiaotian still smiled and said: "I'm not making trouble, but I'm here to pay my respects..." Before he finished speaking, he felt a gray shadow flash in front of his eyes, and Tie Zheng had already arrived in front of him in an instant, and raised his hand as big as a cattail leaf to slap Hu Xiaotian on the chest.
Come.
Although Hu Xiaotian was smiling on the surface, he was secretly wary in his heart. He already had a considerable foundation in the practice of the Wuxiang Divine Art. Although the other party was far away, when Tie Zheng was activated, he still took the lead in triggering the turbulence in the air. Hu Xiaotian was in time
In response, he slipped back and instantly opened the distance between him and Tie Zheng. Even so, Tie Zheng's speed was still beyond his imagination. He dodged Tie Zheng's palm, but was still swept away by the edge of the palm wind.
Afterwards, the skin on my face felt as painful as being cut by a knife.
Tie Zheng stepped forward, but this step was not completely taken. "Whoosh!" shot an arrow from his right front. The target of the feather arrow was not him, but the land in front of his right foot. The feather arrow
Submerged deeply into the ground, only the tail feathers were left exposed outside the ground, and the remaining strength was still trembling.
Tie Zheng raised his eyes and saw a slender young warrior in the distance with a bow as big as the full moon. The pointed tip of the arrow was aimed at him. The sharp arrow was about to go off. The tense atmosphere made the scene suddenly tense.
Zhan Peng's resolute lips formed a straight line, and his gaze was straighter than the flight path of an arrow. Tie Zheng's thick eyebrows were knitted together, and the evil aura in his eyes was even heavier.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Actually, you don't need to take action, I can deal with him alone." He may not be able to beat him, but it is not that easy for Tie Zheng to hurt him. After all, Hu Xiaotian's Hide the Dog Eighteen Steps is
Extremely exquisite footwork.
If he didn't speak up, Tie Zheng would almost ignore him, and Tie Zheng turned to Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian still felt the spring breeze blowing on his face. He waved his hand and said: "Put down your bow and arrows. We are here to make friends, not to fight. We must not be rude."
Zhan Peng slowly loosened the bowstring.
Although Tie Zheng was still angry in his heart, judging from what he had just done, Zhan Peng's archery skills were not to mention superb. Even this playful boy's martial arts skills were by no means ordinary. His sudden attack could be easily avoided by him.
Pass.
At this time, a deep and gentle voice came from the gate of the palace: "Tie Zheng, don't be rude!" But it was Xue Shengjing, the king of Yan, who arrived. He was wearing a golden beam crown and a cyan gold-woven python robe. He was white and fat with a big belly.
There were two warriors on the left and right beside him, and four others were accompanying him behind him.
Xue Shengjing was too fat, estimated to weigh at least 200 kilograms. He walked a few steps and then stopped to wipe his sweat.
More than a hundred people standing in line outside the door cheered in unison: "The King of Yan is here, the King of Yan is here!"
Xue Shengjing waved his hands happily and said: "Hello everyone, hello everyone! Why are you here so early today? Are you saving some treasures to open my eyes?"
Everyone rushed to take out their treasures.
Hu Xiaotian looked at the King Yan of Dayong from a distance. He felt that he looked like a clown. How could he have any royal aura?
Xue Shengjing's words were amiable and approachable: "Don't worry, everyone, just line up and unfold your things for me to look at." He walked down the steps slowly and came to the young man who was photographed first.
In front of the crowd, the young man's face flushed with excitement. He handed out a celadon jar in his hand and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is a fine Yun kiln handed down from my ancestors. It has been around for more than five hundred years. Look at the glaze color."
, look at this shape, look at this craftsmanship..."
Xue Shengjing chuckled and took a golden hammer from the hands of the people around him. He raised the hammer and hit the earthen pot with a bang. It shattered with a clang. The young man said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, why did you smash me?
baby..."
Xue Shengjing said: "Give him two taels of silver. Young people don't learn well and use inferior fakes from Liang kiln to fool me. Take a look at the broken porcelain for yourself. If it lasts more than three years, I will give all these pieces to you."
have eaten."
The young man blushed, didn't want any money, and turned around to run away. Immediately, more than ten people in the crowd quietly retreated. King Yan was well-known for his hobby of collecting, and he was generous with his money. Naturally, there were people who wanted to take advantage of others. Unfortunately, this
Xue Shengjing is indeed very accomplished in this area. It is too difficult for ordinary people to hide it from his eyes. These people who quietly quit are those who are planning to fish in troubled waters. When they see the young man's experience, no one dares to take advantage of it.
It's humiliating.
Xue Shengjing walked along the team with a small golden hammer. At most, he glanced at most of the collections brought by the group, but never stopped until he came to an old woman and saw the old woman.
Holding a pair of green sandalwood paperweights in his hand, he said to the people around him: "Get ten taels of gold for this old man."
Everyone looked at the pair of paperweights in the old woman's hands, and found that the pair of paperweights were just ordinary things, worth one or two pieces of silver at most. Xue Shengjing's eyesight certainly could not fail to see their value.
Being a member of the royal family has a kind heart.
Although there were more than a hundred people queuing up, none of the so-called treasures they brought caught Xue Shengjing's fancy. It didn't take long for them to pack up their belongings and leave in despair.
Hu Xiaotian also felt quite interesting when he saw the scene in front of him. If he had known this, there would be no harm in queuing patiently. Why bother to take the initiative to cause trouble? Tiezheng and several warriors are still watching him eagerly.
Xue Shengjing finally came to Hu Xiaotian. Tie Zheng was worried that Hu Xiaotian would be detrimental to his master and hurriedly stepped forward to protect him.
Xue Shengjing smiled and said: "Tie Zheng, why are you nervous? In the capital of Great Yong, at the feet of the Emperor, who would harm me?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled, clasped his fists, bowed deeply to Xue Shengjing and said: "Dakang's marriage history, Hu Xiaotian saw King Yan live a thousand years old!"
Xue Shengjing still smiled and said: "Are you an envoy of Dakang? Is it a business matter or a private matter to see me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Of course it's a private matter. Xiaotian heard in Dakang that the prince has a keen eye for pearls, especially in calligraphy and painting, so he specially brought a painting for the prince to appreciate."
Xue Shengjing said: "Take it out. Since so much effort has been spent on it, it must be worth a look."
Hu Xiaotian discovered that although Xue Shengjing was chubby and naive, he was not stupid at all and was very shrewd. He took out the landscape painting that he had prepared. This landscape painting was made by Yang Lingqi when his hands were still intact. He was extremely accomplished.
Above the picture, there are old pines and precarious cliffs, cold plum trees and bamboos, deserted cliffs and ravine roads, and no pedestrians. The artistic conception is quiet, cold and broad, the brushwork is full of meaning, the painting style is elegant and subtle, and has a unique atmosphere of clarity and elegance.
Xue Shengjing is a person who really knows the goods. When he saw this painting, his little eyes suddenly widened and shined. Hu Xiaotian could easily see his desire for this painting and knew that the success had touched Xue Shengjing's heart.
Close the scroll immediately.
Xue Shengjing originally put his head over to take a closer look, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to put it away immediately. He couldn't help complaining: "Why did Mr. Hu put it away?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "How much gold does the prince think this painting is worth?"
Xue Shengjing secretly thought to himself, everyone said that Dakang was declining and its national strength was weak. Unexpectedly, it was so true. Even their envoys came to sell paintings. Xue Shengjing stretched out his fat right hand and twisted the sparse hair under his chin.
Beard said: "I am willing to give you a thousand gold coins."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: “I won’t sell it for a thousand pieces of gold!”
Xue Shengjing asked: "How much are you asking for?"
Hu Xiaotian presented the painting with both hands and said: "I will give this painting to the prince, and I won't take any money from you!"
Of course Xue Shengjing understood the principle of no reward for no merit. Although he really wanted to get this landscape painting, he did not rush to pick it up with his hands. He rolled his little eyes and said with a smile: "I have never met this gentleman, how can I accept it so embarrassedly?"
Where is your expensive gift?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I did not give this painting to the prince, nor was it painted by me. The person who painted this painting is called Yang Lingqi. I met him by chance in Tianbo City. This man is poor and living on the street. I pity him.
Talent, I wanted to help him, but he only said that he had a wish, that he wanted to come to Yongdu and seek refuge with you, the prince."
Xue Shengjing asked in surprise: "Where is this person now?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "I originally asked him to come with the delegation, but unexpectedly his condition worsened during the journey and he died young. I pity him for his wish, so I brought this painting to the prince, which can be regarded as a gift.
I helped him fulfill a wish, and there is nothing else to do besides that. Your Majesty, please accept this painting. Xiaotian bids farewell!"
When Xue Shengjing heard such a reason, it was really hard to refuse, not to mention that he already liked this painting. He took the painting from Hu Xiaotian with both hands, but he didn't expect that Hu Xiaotian actually turned around and left. Xue Shengjing said: "Master Hu,
Please stay!”
Hu Xiaotian had long expected such an outcome, with a faint smile on his lips. When he turned around, it turned into a look of astonishment: "What else does the prince have to do?"
Xue Shengjing said: "Master Hu, if you don't mind, please come and talk to me next to me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't have anything to do, I'm just afraid of delaying the prince's business."
Xue Shengjing said: "I happen to have a lot of free time today." (Want to know more exciting news about "Yi Tong Jiang Shan"? Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner, select Add Friends to add a public account, and search
