Li Xiaolou said the heroic deeds of more than a dozen Juxiantang masters in one breath, and Zhen Jian also listened to them with relish, and couldn't help asking: "In this way, the people in this Juxiantang are all martial arts heroes?"
” "Of course."
Li Xiaolou's eyebrows fluttered, obviously proud of being a member of Juxian Hall.
Zhen Jian asked again: "What about you?"
What are your heroic deeds?
” "I ......"
A look of embarrassment flashed on Li Xiaolou's face, and he said, "I'm still young, and I will definitely be able to make a name for myself in a few years." ” Zhen Jian smiled lightly and nodded, Li Xiaolou looked like he was twenty-four or five years old, it was not easy to be among the first-class masters at such an age, in terms of potential, in fact, he was taller than the rest of Juxiantang.
At this time, Zhen Jian thought of another person, so he asked: "What about the hall master Liu, since the hall master is the hall master of Juxian Hall, her deeds should be even more exciting." ” "I haven't really heard much of this."
Li Xiaolou said, "I only know that the master of Liu Tang is from Badao Villa, and his sword skills are very good, and he is the most powerful martial artist in Juxian Hall. ” "Sure enough, it's from Badao Villa."
Zhen Jian was secretly worried in his heart, and suddenly asked again, "What is the full name of the Liu Hall Master?"
” "I don't know."
Li Xiaolou shook his head and said, "No one in the entire Shu Mansion dares to call her by her name, they all call her the Lord of the Liu Hall, and even the prince calls her that." ” Zhen Jian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, it seems that this Liu Hall Master is not an idle character.
Li Xiaolou saw that Zhen Jian seemed to be very interested in Hall Master Liu, so he admonished: "You must not have any curiosity, Hall Master Liu is not very good, if you don't mess with her, you will be fine, if you provoke her, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ” Zhen Jian smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with her." ” While talking, they came to a small courtyard in the most corner, Li Xiaolou said: "There are two rooms in this Xiaoxiang courtyard, you can choose one at random, and I will have someone bring you dinner in the evening." ” "I'll live here on the right-hand side, thank you for leading the way."
Zhen Jian said and walked to the room on the right. …………………………………… Zhen Jiangang lived in the Shu Palace, and the Liu Tang Master had already left the Shu Palace, and went straight to the beggar gang outside the city, found the helmsman Li Danian, and asked him about Zhen Jian, since Zhen Jian claimed to be a disciple of Guo Yan, the leader of the beggar gang, there was no reason for the people of the beggar gang not to know.
However, Zhen Jian had long expected that the people from Juxian Hall would go to check on him, so he had already passed the anger with Li Danian in advance, and Li Danian naturally helped Zhen Jian to lie and told the master of Liu Hall that Guo Yan's disciple is called Guo Jing, who is nineteen years old this year and is currently in Chengdu.
The lord of the Liu Hall got the confirmation of the beggar gang, and went back to the Shu Palace, the responsibility of Juxian Hall is to protect the Shu Palace, protect the safety of the King of Shu, so the Juxian Hall recruits masters, not casually, first of all, you have to be strong in martial arts, and secondly, there are also requirements for conduct, you can not do any chivalrous acts, but you must have a clean foundation, and the Shu Wangfu will never accept traitors, so the Lord of Liu Tang must find out the details of Zhen Jian, which is her duty.
There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, before dawn, the rooster crowed twice, Zhen Jian got up to meditate and practice, meditated and pranayama for nearly an hour, the sky was slightly bright, and he went to the courtyard to start practicing martial arts.
After practicing for another hour, Zhen Jian was already sweating and in good condition, at this time, Li Xiaolou suddenly rushed into the courtyard and said urgently: "Guo Jing, come with me!"
” Even if Zhen Jiandang ran up and followed Li Xiaolou all the way out, Zhen Jian felt puzzled, so he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
” Li Xiaolou said: "Urgent, the prince is going to the barracks to inspect the military affairs, according to the usual example, we Juxian Hall will send out three masters to escort, but early this morning, all the masters have been transferred to the mission, and now there are only me and the deputy hall master left in Juxian Hall, the deputy hall master said, there is a shortage of manpower, look for you to make up first." ” "Is this okay?"
Zhen Jian asked in surprise, "What is the mission?"
Need so many people?
” Li Xiaolou said: "I got the news last night, the two villains of the Valley of the Wicked appeared in Shuzhong, and the hall master took everyone out at night. ” Zhen Jian frowned when he heard this: "The first task of Juxian Hall is to protect the King of Shu, the big villains in the Valley of the Wicked are infested, what is the matter with Juxian Hall?"
” "You'd be wrong."
Li Xiaolou said, "You haven't entered our Juxian Hall, I don't know the rules of our Juxian Hall, the old King of Shu created Juxian Hall, he said, I Juxian Hall, do not raise idlers, usually everyone can be idle, but as long as there are any treacherous people in Shuzhong, Juxian Hall must be dispatched as soon as possible to capture or kill them, to ensure peace in Shu, we Juxian Hall not only to protect the Shu Palace, but also to protect the entire Bashu. ” Zhen Jian nodded when he heard this, and said a little worriedly: "But there are only three people escorting the King of Shu, will it be too little." ” "How could it be that there were only three of them."
Li Xiaolou said, "The three of us are martial arts masters to prevent the emergence of martial arts, and the King of Shu also has fifty elite guards." ” Zhen Jiandao: "Only fifty guards?
” "You're so loud."
Li Xiaolou said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, there are two hundred elite guards in the Shu Palace, four hundred guards, these two hundred elite guards are not comparable to idle soldiers, their martial arts are trained by our Juxian Hall, if they fight alone, they can be comparable to third-rate or even second-rate martial arts figures, and when the old Shu King was alive, they were strictly trained, and they were proficient in the way of fighting and killing the enemy......"
While talking, they had already arrived at the main hall compound of Juxian Hall, and on the martial arts training ground, a middle-aged man in black with white temples was standing there, and when he saw the two of them coming, he said: "Time is pressing, the prince has already gotten into the carriage and is ready to leave the house, follow me!"
With that, he raised his feet and walked briskly towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Yes!"
Li Xiaolou answered, followed closely, and Zhen Jian followed them silently.
Passing through the two courtyards, there was a long corridor with twists and turns, and came to the front yard of the palace, just when I saw the carriage of the King of Shu preparing to go out from the side door, the middle-aged man with gray temples hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the carriage and said: "Lord, Zuo Sansi came to escort him." ” "Hmm."
There was a muffled hum in the carriage, and there were no extra words.
Immediately three horses were brought for the three of them, and they were given to each of them, and they were to ride forward.
Follow the car of the king of Shu out of the palace, go west out of the city, walk on the official road, and walk in a roundabout way.
Juxiantang's treatment is very high, follow the king of Shu to travel, you can ride a horse, among the people present, the three of them and the general of the guard leader can ride a horse, it can be seen that the king of Shu has given high respect and courtesy to the masters of Juxiantang, of course, all of this is set by the old king of Shu, the current king of Shu is a bastard character, not a virtuous lord.
After walking along the official road for more than an hour, the team left the official road and walked north on a small road, the path was narrow, and the team was elongated, and the deputy hall master Zuo Sansi rode a horse in front of the king of Shu's car, and Zhen Jian and Li Xiaolou were behind the car.
After not speaking for too long, Zhen Jian panicked, so he asked Li Xiaolou: "Where are we going?"
” "Go to the barracks at Jianmen Pass."
Li Xiaolou said, "It's not far, it's only two days away." ” Zhen Jian smacked his lips when he heard this, the two-day journey is not far?
You know, he came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any luggage.
They didn't encounter any towns along the way, so they spent the night in the wilderness, but fortunately, the guards were well prepared, brought grain and grass and tents, the king of Shu had a camp tent alone, and the other two shared a camp tent, and the camp tent of the king of Shu was guarded in the middle.
The place where they stopped was close to Lingquan Mountain, and a clear river flowed under the foot of the mountain, and this river, called Lingquan, stopped here because there was a water source here.
