Chapter 552: My dad is going to become a master?

The wind blows the waves, and the hundreds of thousands of white lotuses blooming in the pond sway with it. Various light boats are rowing across the water. A royal elephant with a shoulder height of ten feet is walking in the river. Its long trunk probes the water, draws out a tornado, and splashes onto the trestle. The tourists were like a heavy rain, making them noisy and playful.

Rain falls.

The Hongqiao faintly emerged, and the crowds of tourists kept shouting in surprise!

Snapped!

The loose legs of the stool smashed into the bench. The vendor put it back to the table, sat on it and shook it twice, hearing angry curses coming from the street.

"Fuck! Where are my flowers? Do you dare to ride a horse on the streets of the imperial capital? Will it last...·"

The rich man in splendid clothes had a wet and hot head. He stretched out his hand to touch his head. He was surprised to find that the flower arrangement on his bun had disappeared. He turned around and cursed.

But when he saw who was coming, the young master leaned back violently and stopped talking!

Behind him was a majestic black horse, clad in silver chain mail. He opened and closed his teeth and chewed the flowers in two or three mouthfuls. After eating, he deliberately exhaled hot breath.

Mouth.

Light, floral fragrance.

The tall warrior on horseback seemed not to have heard the words and looked into the distance silently, with emotion visible to the naked eye.

“I haven’t been to the imperial capital for several years.

quite a while.

The warrior lowered his head and stroked the hair on the black horse's neck with an apologetic look on his face. He galloped all the way from Heyuan Mansion with few stops. As he approached the imperial capital, his heart became more and more agitated. He had not been fed for three thousand miles. "

"Nothing, nothing." The rich man pointed to the distance, "The flowers were picked near the White Lotus Pond. If your horse likes it, you can go there to eat some to fill your belly."

"Thank you."

Not much conversation.

The crowd quietly avoided, the black horse walked past with small steps, and the silent six knights in black armor followed quietly behind them.

"call."

When the crowd closed up again, the rich man breathed a sigh of relief. .c Riding horses along the long street and carrying soldiers, he must be some big shot.

Heyuan Prefecture?

Could it be that he is from Beisei?

Is there an emergency at the border?

Leisurely leisurely, it doesn’t look like that.

Before the Daqian Period, the water area of ​​​​Jishuitan was the old channel of Yongding River. Later, the river changed its course, leaving some accumulated water. Later, the Gaoliang River poured into the old channel, forming the prototype of Jishuitan.

After the fall of Dashun and the Qian Dynasty, in order to meet the needs of entertainment and leisure, the imperial court ordered the dredging of Jishuitan and the construction of two islands and Taining Palace on the east bank of the pool as a palace for royal outings.

At this point, the outside of the imperial city was called Jishuitan, and the inside of the imperial city was called Taiye Pond. In order to receive supplies, the water ships traveling from south to north could reach the heart of the imperial capital. In addition to food, supplies from all over Dashun are shipped here, making it the busiest place in the entire imperial capital. The most prosperous place.

Have you seen the elephant in the pool? Jishuitan is the royal elephant washing pool.

Elephants paid tribute by tribes in southern Xinjiang were used as means of transportation and palace ceremonials. Sometimes the emperor's carriages would be pulled by southern elephants.

But I've seen it once. It's not as fast as a horse, but it's powerful. "

The soldiers on the left and right rode their horses side by side, and they couldn't help but ask: "Your hometown is in Huaiyin Prefecture, and your army is in Heyuan Prefecture, one in the south and one in the north. Why do you cherish the imperial capital in the middle so much?"

Before my father retired, he always took me to the imperial capital to pay homage to General Xu every year. Mrs. Xu Shude always wanted to keep me in her house for a while.

Although I was young at that time, I still have memories, but later on when I was eleven or twelve years old, and as I grew older, there were less overnight stays, which was inconvenient. "

The six soldiers looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"So, sir, you must be quite familiar with the good restaurants in the imperial capital, right?"

"Hahaha! I know what you are thinking, it must be like this!" Yang Xu laughed and whipped his horse, "Let's go to the Xu Mansion first and pay homage to General Xu. I'll treat you all to the best restaurant for a drink!"

"good!"

"My lord is generous!"

The horses were spirited, and the seven riders shuttled through the crowd and rushed to the Xu Mansion.

Hand me your badge and say hello.

A moment of effort.

Qin Hongwei, the head of the Xu family, went out to greet him personally and sent several young men to lead horses, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

Guanyingbo's butler of Xu Wenzhu's family, whose status was also quite extraordinary, actually greeted him personally and secretly guessed who Yang Xu was.

"Uncle Qin!"

"Nephew Yang! Come in quickly. Madam is already in the hall. I'll send someone to call the general. Really, it's so big in a blink of an eye? How many years have we not seen each other?"

Qin Hongwei settled the remaining six horses, took Yang Xu's hand and entered the house. He walked down the verandah and reminisced about the past, his words full of nostalgia.

"It's been five years, right? I haven't taken leave to visit relatives in five years, so naturally I haven't gone south to the imperial capital for five years."

"Five years have passed, and I have joined the army. It is really rare to have free time."

"General, is your wife okay?"

"Okay, everything is fine. There are occasional quarrels, but it's just a matter of living our lives. This is the way we go back and forth."

Qin Hongwei led Yang Xu into the hall.

Xu Tianren sat upright. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they exchanged pleasantries. Yang Dongxiong and Xu Wenzhu had known each other since they were young. They were close friends and had been friends for decades. Even if they hadn't seen each other for five years, they still had nothing to do with each other. Alienation.

"Why did nephew Yang think of coming to visit today? Is there anything important at the border?"

Yang Xu put down the tea cup and said seriously: "My grandfather is celebrating his ninetieth birthday this year. He hasn't been home for a long time and misses him so much. In addition, Bian Guan and Marquis Weining had a show together last year. This year, the Beiting has stopped, so there is nothing important. I’m going to ask Grandmaster Kou for a long vacation to visit his family.”

"master!"

The servants outside the door sent greetings.

"Da Ding is the largest Jianghuai River, and Beiting is the largest sea of ​​gold. What a wonderful piece of sacred land, let us occupy it. Beiting wants to take it back all the time."

Gu Chang's black figure walked in through the door, with a white belt tied around his waist.

"Uncle Xu!" Yang Xu stood up and greeted him. 'Sit down!' Xu Wenzhu pressed Yang Xu's shoulders down, turned around and sat in the first seat, gently turned the tea lid and sprinkled off the foam, "I haven't seen you for five years. How is your martial arts progress?"

"I'm in the middle level of tiger hunting. I may enter the upper level within a year."

"Not bad. If nothing goes wrong, in another five years, I may be stronger than your father."

"If?" Yang Xu felt something was wrong.

"You don't know?"

Yang Xu hesitated: "I have lived in Heyuan Prefecture for a long time. The last time I received a letter from home was in August. Calculating the date, it should be sent in mid-June or early June. Except for my junior brother's great achievements, there is no mention of other important matters."

No wonder, it wasn't too long since I received the letter. You are here today and you should leave in August, so I haven't written to you again. "

Xu Wenzhu closed the lid of the tea, "It's the little apprentice your father accepted. He became the master of Weining Hou, the grandson of the current King of Yue. When he became his apprentice, he specially gave him a Xuanhuang card.

The letter also said that he had already mastered the Hundred Scriptures, and the remaining ten great merits were also in sight, and both steps were completed.

In other words, the road to becoming a master is only one step away from opening the Xuanguang. You wrote to me to ask for help. I picked some good things for your father, and they should be delivered to Pingyang Prefecture soon. "

Yang Xu was dumbfounded.

No.

I have lived in Heyuan Prefecture for several years, and there are four or five letters every year. The news at home is not isolated.

How come in the blink of an eye, in less than two or three months, my father is going to become a master?

Xu Wenzhu observed Yang Xu's face: "How much do you know about your little apprentice brother?"

"I know... very little. "Yang Xu was a little embarrassed. "My father accepted this disciple two years ago, and he has never accepted any other disciples since then. I only know that he is Dasheng Wugu, and his cultivation progress is very fast. He has received the Holy Emperor's oral instructions, and he has a bright future.

Yang Xu was dumbfounded.

He has lived in Heyuan Prefecture for several years, and there are four or five letters every year. The news at home is not isolated. How come in the blink of an eye, in less than two or three months, his father is going to become a master?

Xu Wenzhu observed Yang Xu's expression: "How much do you know about your junior brother?"

"I know...very little." Yang Xu was a little embarrassed, "My father accepted him as a disciple two years ago, and he has never accepted any other disciples since then. I only know that he is born with martial bones, has made rapid progress in cultivation, and has received the oral instructions of the Holy Emperor, so he has a bright future.

But I haven't been home for five years, and I have never seen my junior brother. The only letter said that he is handsome and not inferior to my fourth junior brother."

Your father accepted an extraordinary disciple. The King of Yue sent out invitations to seek talents. After being awarded, he went all the way south from the imperial capital and sent out gold, silver, and bronze plaques.

There are so many young talents, but he only took a fancy to your junior brother, gave him a jade plaque, and arranged his own grandson to be his disciple. If I could spare the time, I really wanted to go to Pingyang Prefecture to see with my own eyes what the talent favored by the Martial Saint looks like. "

Yang Xu thought: "Isn't Yue Long working at the Hebo Office of Pingyang Prefecture? I am far away in Heyuan Prefecture, and I have heard that the Duhuai Canal has been completed. It should be much more convenient to travel south by taking a treasure ship. "

Xu Wenzhu did not react much, but Mrs. Xu was quite moved.

Mother misses her son, and the Huai River is long.
