Chapter 96
96. Let three cups compete for one game
After Lou Yefeng sincerely admitted his mistake and apologized and gave his master a series of kisses and hugs, he finally got his master's forgiveness.Then he found out what he had done in agitation just now.
He hurriedly moved away from the master's cheek, looked at the master's eyes that were close at hand, and the expression that was becoming more and more open-eyed, his face was slightly red, and he asked tentatively:
"Master, are you... calm down?"
Pei Nianyu said "Yes".
"Then... are you willing to practice martial arts well..."
Pei Nianyu: "..."
He wondered if this wood has a negative EQ. If you mention this at a time like this, is it because you are not afraid of getting angry again?
However, Pei Nianyu had just been smoothed out by Lou Yefeng's stroking, so he didn't try to argue with him again, not to mention that he was going to learn this martial art quickly, so he nodded:
"Follow your plan."
"Yes, master."
While Pei Nianyu got up to check the medicinal food in the casserole, he remembered something:
"By the way, you still have to teach me... the way to untie acupuncture points!"
Lou Yefeng replied without thinking:
"it is good."
Then he said:
"Actually, the method of unlocking acupuncture points is extremely simple. Master, you have enough internal energy, you just need to know how to use internal energy to impact the sealed acupuncture points."
Instead, Pei Nianyu froze for a moment.
Just now Lou Yefeng tapped his acupoint with less than 20% of his internal strength, but he didn't know how to undo it.Obviously, this is the only way for Lou Yefeng to use... force to challenge himself before his internal strength recovers.
But he asked Lou Yefeng for the solution to the acupoint, after he learned it...
"...Then you won't be able to touch me in the future?"
Pei Nianyu blurted out.
After all, even if Lou Yefeng fully recovers his internal energy, it is still comparable to his internal energy.As long as there is no suppressive difference in internal force, there is no way to forcefully seal him.
Lou Yefeng looked at his master quietly, and smiled indifferently:
"It's rare that the master is willing to take the initiative to learn a martial art. How can the subordinate hide his secrets before he's happy. Besides, it's so so so if he can't catch you. This is...not what the subordinate should do to you."
Pei Nianyu's heart suddenly softened:
"Okay, okay. I want to learn! And...Ye Feng, please teach me the method of acupuncture!"
Lou Yefeng was taken aback when he heard the words, and his brows and eyes were even more joyful:
"Okay, I'll teach you everything."
However, Pei Nianyu's thoughts wandered beyond the vast distance for a moment:
"Then, when teaching acupuncture points, I will use you to practice moves."
Lou Yefeng walked behind him and took the pot from the master's hand:
"Naturally. Acupuncture doesn't hurt the body, master, you can torment your subordinates as much as you want."
Toss... hey.So Pei Nianyu began to think about what pose he was going to put his Ye Feng in...
"boom"
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a looming thunderclap rolling past in the direction of Beifu's back garden.
The sound is not loud, just barely audible, but extremely heavy.
Pei Nianyu froze for a moment, wondering if there will be a thunderstorm in this winter?
However, when he went out to look, he saw that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the sky was clear, obviously there was no intention of rain.
He bowed his head in thought:
"I'm hallucinating."
The thunder was actually very dull and far away, Lou Yefeng didn't hear this sound.When he saw his master going out, he followed him out of the door.
"Master, what's the matter?"
"fine……"
Originally, Pei Nianyu didn't want to tell Lou Yefeng to worry about this strange phenomenon, but then he thought, wouldn't he be more worried if he didn't say it.So he said:
"Ah... it seems that there is a rolling thunder in the north, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain."
Lou Yefeng frowned:
"Why don't you go to Beifu to have a look?"
Pei Nianyu gave him a sideways look:
"Be honest and eat your medicinal meal while it's hot!"
Afterwards, Pei Nianyu saw a few nearby dark shadows running away quickly under the moonlight of the slanting branches.
"It's not necessarily the voice coming from this mansion, and some shadow guards have already gone to check, so you don't have to worry too much."
"……yes."
Before Lou Yefeng could say anything, Pei Nianyu dragged him into the room again and pressed him on the seat.
"Medicated food, eat it quickly, and go back to heal your wounds after eating!"
"yes."
At this time, Lou Yefeng was naturally following the good advice and would not disobey the slightest bit. He sat opposite to his master and began to stuff that portion of medicinal food into his mouth.
And Pei Nianyu watched through the heat of the pot, watching the dog being fed by him... the big loyal dog ate quietly and obediently, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"Hey,...Ye Feng, you are so obedient."
Lou Yefeng paused for a moment.
"……yes."
"If the master likes his subordinates to be good, the subordinates should keep it in mind."
Only then did Pei Nianyu realize that he had a semantic discrepancy.He thought the obedient Ye Feng was cute, but...
"You don't have to pay too much attention to this matter. You can do whatever you want. It's just... just be less aggressive with me a few times."
Lou Yefeng: "...Ah? This subordinate... is, very fierce?"
Pei Nianyu snorted:
"What do you say?"
………………
Let's say that after Lian Xiao finished teaching Lou Yefeng, he quickly took the opportunity to drink a few more cups of tea in his room.
... Well, it really is the tea leaves that the master left for the old building. It should be of the same grade as the master, much higher than his.
Lian Xiao felt sour secretly, without feeling guilty about eating and drinking.
He dawdled in Lou Yefeng's room for a while before he went out and started wandering around the mansion. After all, he guessed that the old building and the owner were still at the Medicine House, so it would be bad for him to go back.
Since the master gave Jiu the magpie's nest, he had no choice but to wander around the mansion.
However, this walk was a big deal, and the shadow guards on duty were busy in the middle of the night, and it was inevitable that they would discuss something.Instead, Lian Xiao heard some other gossip besides the owner and the old building.
"Hey, that kid Fang Heng is really merciless today. He came up to challenge a brother who heard a little discussion about the master, and he actually defeated many brothers..."
…………
"Then what can we do? Commander He agreed. Let me tell you, those brothers are really serious, either don't let him hear us talking nonsense, or don't lose..."
…………
"Isn't it? I'm angry when I talk about this. The master has been busy practicing for the past two days, so he didn't make a few snacks. We train harder on weekdays, and we can get one or two yuan as a reward. But yesterday's share and today's shareIt's all lost to that guy Fang Heng!"
………
"All output? What are these people doing for food! Yesterday's is gone, what about today's... Don't those people learn a lesson!"
Lian Xiao laughed inwardly when he heard this, "these people" obviously referred to the group of shadow guards who were on duty during the day.
These shadow guards who were on duty at night woke up for two consecutive days to find that today's snacks were gone. It wasn't them who did it, but their teammates who lost—the frustration can be imagined.
A group of pig teammates!
………
"Huh, what do you think they are eating? They are all absorbed in watching the excitement of Loujiao during the day. They are also absent-minded in the martial arts competition..."
………
"...When will this Fang Heng get out? No one came to snatch the snacks from our palace shadow guards!"
………
"Skills are not as good as people, there is no way."
………
When Lian Xiao heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up in an unpredictable arc.
He walked around the mansion, using his old skills as a shadow guard to collect information on Fang Heng.
So he knew that Fang Heng usually went to Yun Shao to collect his spoils at night.
Now... and some time.Well, in time.
Thinking of this, Lian Xiao strolled into the courtyard of Hanqiu Pavilion.
Naturally, Pei Nianyu was not there, so the yard was quiet.Ever since Pei Nianyu got rid of the extra serving maids, it has become much quieter.There are only a few hidden shadow guards near the sleeping hall, and the big maid Xia Yao is patrolling the servants outside the courtyard who are tending the dew on the flowers and plants.
Lian Xiao went directly to the side room next to the main bedroom, and as expected, saw Jiang Xue sitting cross-legged on the couch practicing inner strength under the moonlight.
Seeing Lian Xiao coming here, Jiang Xue was very surprised:
"Brother Lian Xiao, this one doesn't visit a temple without a cause, why are you looking for my little sister?"
She remembered that when Lian Xiao made a special visit last time, she pointed out a few problems about her practice and entry, which benefited her a lot.Therefore, Jiang Xue welcomed his visit very much, and quickly welcomed him into the door.
Jiang Xue was about to boil water for tea, but Lian Xiao stopped her with her hand:
"Sister Jiang Xue, you don't have to be polite. I'll talk to you about business before it's too late. Sister, are you interested in doing business with me?"
Jiang Xue is confused:
"I don't know how to do business..."
"Ahem, it's like this..."
So Lian Xiao told Jiang Xue about Fang Heng's two days in the mansion.Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue hadn't heard of it at all:
"Huh? What's the matter? He won all the dim sum? I've been practicing for the past few days, but I haven't heard any news..."
"Yeah. What, do you have an idea?"
Jiang Xue still didn't understand:
"what idea?"
Lian Xiao is persuasive:
"Go and win all the dim sum that Fang Heng won! As long as you win a game, you can get an extra dim sum. Fang Heng just reached a cooperation with Old He and can take the initiative to challenge the shadow guards in our mansion. But Old He didn'tSay we can't take the initiative to challenge him!"
"Think about it, Fang Heng came to our mansion to practice martial arts with each other, but if he keeps winning, how can there be any martial arts advancement? What's more, the shadow guards in our mansion are oftenWhere to put it..."
Jiang Xue hesitated:
"Hey, brother Lian Xiao, why don't you go yourself..."
Lian Xiao suddenly said seriously:
"Sister Jiang Xue, you have been practicing martial arts so hard for the past two days, just because of...the competition with Old He?"
"Exactly."
This was the condition that He Qi put forward two months ago. Whenever Jiang Xue's martial arts can win him, he will let Jiang Xue be the deputy commander immediately.
Jiang Xue and He Qi's internal strength levels were about the same before, and Jiang Xue was slightly higher, but after all, due to age, Jiangxue's actual combat experience was far behind He Qi's.
So Jiang Xue thought that she might as well wait until her internal strength has been cultivated to a higher level, and then go to He Qi for a competition, so as to be more stable.
"Sister Jiang Xue, you serve your master on weekdays, so you don't take part in the battle training between the shadow guards, and the shadow guards in our mansion can't handle your internal strength. So don't you feel... Really?There are very few chances to fight."
"Look at Fang Heng, he came here to compete with the shadow guards in our mansion. This is your great opportunity! He is a little inferior to He Qi. You can practice with him first, and then compete with Old He after a while, and you will be sure.Already!"
Jiang Xue suddenly fell into deep thought.
"...Brother Lian Xiao, what you said makes sense!!"
And she was very touched:
"Brother Lian, you came here to tell me this matter, you must have given it to me to give me more opportunities to practice martial arts... Brother Lian, if you have any orders, my younger sister will definitely obey them!"
"Ahem..."
Lian Xiao was embarrassed by what she said... feel ashamed for fooling cute girls or something.
But when he thought of the dim sum made by the master, the guilt was immediately forgotten.He put his arm on Jiangxue's shoulders, and began to call Jiang Xue brothers and sisters:
"It's not a big deal to do a little effort. Girls don't have to remember any favors. It's the snacks after you won Fang Heng..."
Lian Xiao stretched out a hand and rubbed it with three fingers in front of Jiang Xue, as if rubbing a silver ticket:
"The trophy snacks, the two of us... What do you think of adding two to one?"
Jiang Xue nodded and patted her chest:
"No problem, leave it to me!"
…………
Here, Fang Heng just finished a day of fighting and sparring. Although he was very tired, he looked at the number of wins recorded in his small notebook - thirty-three times, and was immediately satisfied.
He won twelve pieces of almond puff pastry yesterday, but didn't eat a single bite.I kindly sent it to Li Han to share with him, but it was all arranged by Li Han.
So he decided today - he would be a fool if he went to curry favor with Li Han.
Thirty-three snacks, there must be more than one kind, he wants to eat them all alone!
Thinking of this, he stepped into the small kitchen of the palace, and found Yun Shao who was cooking supper for the shadow guards on night shift.
Seeing him coming in, Yun Shao looked up at him, ignored him, and continued to work on the ingredients in her hands.The fire was burning in the stove next to it, and a huge casserole was sitting on it, reflecting the warmth of the whole kitchen.
"Sister Yun, ahem, come here to get today's snacks..."
"It's in the cabinet over there, go get it yourself."
Yun Shao said something lightly.Of course she didn't look good on Fang Heng.The shadow guards who had been robbed of their snacks had nothing to offer for the toothbrush festival, so they all came to her in Hornet's nest to ask for a small stove, and she was too busy these two days.
Fang Heng didn't care, he went to take the snack box out of the cabinet, hugged it and left.
Here, Yun Shao happened to lift the lid of the pot, a white mist rose from the casserole, and Fang Heng was immediately surrounded by a strong aroma——
It was a light and strong aroma of white rice, mixed with the fragrance of slightly salty fresh meat.The richness of the unique grain aroma is matched with the salty and oily taste of chicken soup, and there is a bit of mountain mushroom flavor that seems to be absent.
Stretching his neck, he tried his best to look into the pot through the mist, only to see the thick and sticky snow-white rice porridge rolling in the pot, and from time to time, light-colored shredded chicken and dark brown shiitake mushrooms could be seen coming from the pot.It jumped up from the gaps in the white rice, then sank down immediately with the bubbling, and disappeared into the white rice.
From time to time, some emerald green scallions floated on the pot of porridge, which was very beautiful.
Fang Heng's stomach growled immediately.
"Sister Yun, this is..."
"Fresh mushroom chicken porridge. Not for you."
Fang Heng: "..."
I really want to drink...
However, seeing that Yun Shao obviously didn't intend to share a bowl with him, he had to look down at the snack box, and hurried out the door.
Fortunately, there is still this box of snacks for comfort.
He hurriedly turned out of the courtyard gate, and was about to go back to his own room, when he suddenly heard a "whoosh", a small stone wrapped in strong wind fell to the bottom of his feet.
Fang Heng immediately tensed his nerves, put the snack box on the ground, stretched out his hand to press the hilt of the sword at his waist, and looked up——
I saw a little maid wearing an ivory narrow-sleeved short jacket and a black horse-face skirt with gold horizontal stripes standing on the top of the eaves, with a calm expression and a sword in hand.
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
He naturally recognized this simple and capable women's womb attire—it was the... combat attire of the female shadow guards.
He looked at the woman, her face was extremely young, but her eyes were restrained, obviously her skills were profound.Coupled with the black shadow guard attire, he actually looked a bit decisive.
Seeing that the Lord came out, Jiang Xue floated down, and performed a military officer's salute according to the rank of the two:
"Under Jiang Xue, come to challenge Deacon Fang, and I hope Deacon Fang will give you some advice."
Fang Heng: "..."
He really didn't want to fight Jiang Xue.This girl's talent in martial arts is extremely high, and her reputation is known to everyone in their Yuyingwei group.In the past two days, he deliberately picked up easy targets for snacks—as for Jiang Xue, he always avoided them.
He just wanted to say something serious and was fooled, but Jiang Xue's violent temper didn't have the patience to listen. After finishing a polite sentence of asking for advice, it was considered to be a face for him, and then she slammed, and the cold sword came out of its sheath.
"..."
The sword energy was coming fiercely, and the chill was overwhelming. He had no choice but to draw his sword to fight.
…………
An hour later.
…………
Fang Heng was lying on the ground panting, the hair on his forehead was all frozen into frost stripes by Jiang Xue's cold breath, and his clothes were cut more than a dozen times.Those cuts were all at the vital points, leaving no wounds, it was obvious that Jiang Xue had shown mercy.
Within an hour, thirty-three games.
Every time they fight each other... they lose if they don't make twenty moves.
Fang Heng was extremely unconvinced. In terms of swordsmanship, Jiang Xue was not as pure as her swordsmanship.But this little girl relied on her deep internal strength, and fought against him when she came up, he couldn't be more reckless than this guy!!!
He got up with difficulty:
"Again... fight again!"
Jiang Xue shook her head and looked at him innocently:
"If you continue to fight, you will be injured by exhaustion of internal energy."
Fang Heng: "..."
And Jiang Xue had a fight with sweat, sheathed her sword in a comfortable mind and body, walked forward silently, and picked up Fang Heng's box of snacks.
Fang Heng watched Jiang Xue stuff the box of snacks into his arms, and couldn't help but let out a grievance:
"Woo..."
Jiang Xue blinked:
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing."
…………
For the thirty-three dim sum, twenty one is added to five, and Lian Xiao is divided into sixteen yuan.
He reckoned that the master should have finished cooking the medicinal meal and left, so he walked to his Medicine House with the snack in his arms, taking out a piece to eat happily.
As soon as he walked to the door of the Medicine House, he happened to meet the owner coming out of the house. Lian Xiao was so frightened that he trembled suddenly, and the crumbs of the snacks fell down one after another.
Pei Nianyu: "...Huh?"
Lian Xiao's movement of stuffing snacks into his mouth stopped.
Pei Nianyu: "This dim sum looks familiar..."
Lian Xiao suddenly trembled.In fact, his dim sum... not to mention the unknown origin, he even ignored the master's prohibition and committed the crime knowingly.
The key is that he was caught by the master!
Another big or small mistake.It's okay for the master not to care, but if it touches the master's bottom line...he will have to take the consequences.
Naturally, Pei Nianyu immediately understood where Lian Xiao got the dim sum, and Fang Heng must have snatched it.
But thinking that Lian Xiao would mention Ye Feng's achievements today, Pei Nianyu slowly turned his eyes away, and walked leisurely past him:
"I didn't see anything~"
The author has something to say:
Fang Heng: I am a beating sandbag with no emotion...
