The Qingming Festival was approaching, and after waiting for two more days, Xiao Kai finally brought a group of Xiao family descendants to his ancestral home in Lanling. When he saw that it was Xiao Zhuo who came out to greet him, he couldn't help but be ecstatic. After six years of separation, we met again.

When they met, Xiao Kai wanted to ask about Xiao Zhuo's recent situation in the past six years, but his uncle was waiting in the main hall, so he had to go into the main hall to meet Xiao Jing first. After all the matters were completed, Xiao Kai took advantage of the opportunity to take a bath and change clothes.

Xiao Zhuo was briefly pulled aside to ask, but within a few words, another servant came in to report.

"Let me tell you, there is an official outside the door asking to see you. He says it is Qin Qiong of Jinan Prefecture, who has come to thank you on the orders of Marshal Tangbi."

"Let him come in!" After Xiao Jing ordered, the servant immediately left the main hall.

Qin Qiong? Xiao Zhuo remembered You Junda's commission when he was in Runan Village, so he went back to his room to get the letter. When he came back, Qin Qiong happened to be walking into the courtyard with his servant. Xiao Zhuo stopped and took a look, and found that this Qin Qiong was indeed

He was the one who caused a big commotion at the Chang'an Lantern Festival seven years ago.

Xiao Zhuo vaguely remembered that it was this Qin Qiong who led a group of green forest figures to kill Yuwen Zhiji, but was besieged by Yuwen CD outside the house. Faced with the siege, Qin Qiong actually used his mace to take Yuwen CD, but was

Yuwen CD swung it back, but fortunately Youxiong Kuohai came to the rescue in time, and a group of them were able to escape. Later, Yuwen Shu wanted to hold him accountable, and his backer Wang protected him, so the matter finally came to an end. Xiao Zhuo

I still remember what the patron king said at that time.

"General Yuwen, you said that Qin Qiong is guilty of murder, but how much crime does your son deserve for robbing civilian girls under the imperial city and committing murder by force? Fortunately, the man you encountered was Qin Qiong's group. If I were to encounter him, he would be punished on the street.

To rectify the Dharma, to rectify our great Sui Dynasty!"

"Master Qin, you're welcome!" Xiao Zhuo stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute. Qin Qiong returned the salute and asked, "Have we met this young master before?"

"My Excellency, Xiao Zhuo, Master Qin has forgotten? When Yuwen CD besieged you at the Chang'an Lantern Festival seven years ago, I was right behind him!" As soon as Xiao Zhuo said these words, Qin Qiong's hands that were about to be withdrawn after saluting were obviously slow.

Look. During the battle in Chang'an City, when he saw everyone being surrounded, he thought of capturing the thief first and the king, subduing the opponent's leader first, and then using him as a hostage to cover everyone's escape. However, he did not expect that the leader turned out to be Yuwen CD, and the result was...

The battle was at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Xiongkuohai rescued the siege, and everyone was able to save the day. Although the court was no longer pursuing the case, there was no guarantee that the Yuwen family would not retaliate, so when he first heard Xiao Zhuo mention this matter, he had to suspect that Xiao Zhuo had something to do with it.

What's the point?

"Master Qin, don't worry too much. Since the incident back then has been suppressed by the patron king, the court will naturally not pursue it anymore. Even if CD Yuwen wants to seek revenge from you, it is a private matter between you, and I will not interfere. And now I

Now that I have become a monk and become a Taoist, I don’t want to interfere with the affairs of the mortal world.”

Hearing what Xiao Zhuo said, Qin Qiong finally felt relieved and said: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Xiao for your kindness. I will do my best for the task entrusted by the owner of the village. I will go and send the entourage back.

Once the Qingming Festival is over, we will escort Mr. Xiao and his party to Luoyang."

When Xiao Zhuo heard Qin Qiong's answer, he knew that Qin Qiong had misunderstood him. His original intention was to tell Qin Qiong that he would not tell Yuwen CD about his position. However, there was a commission from You Junda just now, and he added

You Junda's special status made Qin Qiong mistakenly think that she was threatening him with this matter. But since the matter was already like this, it was useless to say more. Qin Qiong agreed anyway.

"I will go with Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin's subordinates have come all the way. If we let them go back like this, wouldn't it be that our Xiao family is neglecting their guests. Please!"

Xiao Zhuo accompanied Qin Qiong to the door of the mansion. After Qin Qiong told the people who were accompanying him, he asked the housekeeper to invite them into the mansion for a while. However, just as everyone stepped into the door of the mansion, there was another sound of golden drums in the distance, and two teams were wearing armor.

The soldiers held their halberds to clear the way, and quickly came to stand in front of the gate of the mansion. At the end of the soldiers, where the flags were waving, a gray-haired old man came on horseback. He was wearing golden armor, snow-white hairpins, and a dragon cloak behind him that fell straight to the horse's hips.

Looking at the old man's demeanor, although he is over seventy years old, he still has bright eyes and a healthy demeanor, just like the veteran Huang Zhong, who is like a dragon in his twilight, without showing any signs of a dragon bell.

"The patron king has arrived!" The sergeant accompanying him loudly announced the name of the person coming, and Xiao Zhuo immediately led a group of people to greet him.

"Junior Xiao Zhuo, welcome your Majesty!"

"Xiao Zhuo! Hahahaha! Everyone, get up!" After Yang Lin finished speaking, he dismounted and walked towards Xiao Zhuo, "When I came here, I was still thinking about whether I could meet you this time. I didn't expect you to be here. Wait.

After I finish my business, I'll let you take a look at my new formation to see if you can figure it out! Come on, take me to see your uncle." The patron king was overjoyed and pulled Xiao Zhuo inside.

"Your Majesty, please!" Xiao Zhuo accompanied Yang Lin into the mansion. Xiao Jing and a group of servants had already come to greet him.

"Xiao Jing, a common man, pays homage to the prince."

Just as Xiao Jing was about to kneel down, Yang Lin raised his arm and said: "The Xiao family is old and there is no need to perform this grand ceremony. I am here to thank the Xiao family for their generosity and to relieve my urgent need to ascend to the state.

Secondly, it is to pay homage to an old friend, and out of emotion and reason, how can I bother the Master of the Xiao family to bow down?"

When Xiao Jing heard this, he bowed and thanked him again: "My father has been deceased for many years. I have troubled the prince to think of you. The Xiao family can't thank you enough!"

Yang Lin ordered Xiao Jing to avoid the ceremony, and saw several boxes of gifts placed in the courtyard, so he asked again: "What? Are there other guests in the Xiao family today?"

Xiao Zhuo wanted to step forward and reply, but thinking that his uncle and brother were all there at this time, he did not speak. When Xiao Zhuo saw that Xiao Zhuo did not speak, he replied: "I'm telling you, this is Lord Tang Bi of Jinan Mansion to thank Xiao."

I have sent you to understand the emperor's urgent need, and the person I sent is behind the prince."

When Qin Qiong heard Xiao Kai mentioning herself and was grateful to Yang Lin for suppressing Yu Wenhuaji, he stepped forward and reported back: "Your Majesty, Qin Qiong, has met the prince!"

"Get up! Are you Qin Qiong?" Yang Lin waited for Qin Qiong to nod in agreement, and then said: "I heard that you could fight with General Tianbao back then. Now that I can see you today, I also want to see if the rumors are true. Luo Fang, Xue Liang,

The two of you will test Qin Qiong's skills for your father, remember to hit the mark, and don't overdo the Xiao family's ancestral business!" After saying that, he turned to Xiao Jing and said: "Master Xiao, I have set up a private martial arts field here.

Please don’t blame me.”

"Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty is very thirsty for talents. Everyone knows that when you meet a talented person, you want to take them for your own use. Besides, Your Majesty has already said that there is no harm in comparing the points."

With Xiao Jing's permission, Yang Lin immediately ordered his soldiers to carry away the gift and vacated a few feet of space in the courtyard for Qin Qiong and Luo Fang to compete. Luo Fang flicked his wrist and wielded a three-pointed two-edged sword.

He went straight for Qin Qiong's chest, but Qin Qiong used the mace of his left hand to deflect it away. At the same time, he stepped forward with his left foot, and the mace of his right hand sneaked towards Luo Fang's abdomen. Fortunately, Luo Fang withdrew the weapon in time after the attack failed, and used the three-pointed and two-edged sword.

After using his weapon of close proximity, he performed two consecutive round dances to force Qin Qiong out.

"Every inch is long and every inch is strong. Use your own strengths to overcome the weaknesses of others. Luo Taibao is really familiar with weapons!" Xiao Jing praised him at the right time, but Yang Lin still frowned. Because he himself is also a martial arts practitioner, he

Understand that the two sides are facing each other. The first confrontation is often to find out the other side's strength. If the other side is found to be weak, the other side will definitely not hold back.

Sure enough, when Qin Qiong saw that Luo Fang had just stopped, he took the lead to attack with a tile-faced gold mace in front of him and behind him. When the three-pointed two-edged sword came in front of him, Qin Qiong tilted his head and quickly raised the mace in his right hand.

Holding the blade, he moved it forward, the mace body pressed against the ear of the sword, and the mace with his left hand suddenly hit the three-pointed two-edged sword shaft. Although Luo Fang was on guard, Qin Qiong was strong, and the blade of the sword shook violently, and his hands

Qin Qiong's grasp was unstable. Qin Qiong took advantage of the situation and pushed his right mace forward again in front of Luo Fang. When Luo Fang reacted and grasped the blade of the knife to press it against Qin Qiong's right mace, Qin Qiong's left mace was already at his side.

When thrust forward, Luo Fang had no defense at all.

"What a trick!" Yang Lin exclaimed in admiration. The two of them heard the sound and accepted the move. After greeting each other, Luo Fang came to Yang Lin and reported back: "Father, my child's skills are not as good as others, so he lost to Qin Qiong." Qin Qiong heard this.

He quickly stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty! General Luo is a general on horseback, but he is not good at fighting on horseback. In this competition, Qin Qiong has the upper hand. If it comes to martial arts on horseback, Qin Qiong is definitely no match for General Luo."

"Well! Win without being arrogant, that's right! Xue Liang, do you want to compete with Qin Qiong?" Yang Lin asked Xue Liang, but Xue Liang replied: "Father, I think my martial arts skills are not as good as those of my elder brother, but since Yi

If my father is happy today, my son will compete with Qin Qiong again."

After Xue Liang finished speaking, he walked into the arena with a tiger-headed spear. After greeting Qin Qiong, he raised the spear and stabbed him.

He used a gun, which didn't have ears like a knife, and he didn't worry about being restrained by Qin Qiong. The two separated and joined together, and they fought for five or six rounds without a winner. It was only after they separated that they fought again.

When they gathered together, Qin Qiong suddenly held his maces in one hand and behind his back in the other. When he met another shot from Xue Liang, he suddenly hit it like a huge mouth. The two maces hit the tiger head gun at the same time. The shock made Xue Liang's mouth numb.

He quickly tightened his grip on the gun body. However, in this short opportunity, Qin Qiong had already raised the mace held in his right hand behind his back, and tilted the mace held in his left hand forward, crossing them and pushing him forward.

Xue Liang originally wanted to withdraw the gun, but he estimated that Qin Qiong was also moving forward. If the speed of withdrawing could not keep up with Qin Qiong's advancement, it would be useless, so he gave up the idea. But if he moved the gun to the side, because the gun would

She was pressed outside Qin Qiong by both maces, and there was no room to move to the right. She could only follow the mace downwards to the left, which put herself in a passive situation. However, Qin Qiong was already in front of her at this time, and the mace was in front of her.

As the weapon was sweeping towards him, Xue Liang had no choice but to lift up the gun with all his strength and hold it diagonally in front of him. Chich! There was a harsh sound, and Qin Qiong's slanted left mace climbed up the gun, and was about to be scratched.

Xue Liang's fingers suddenly stopped, and the mace of his right hand took the opportunity to hit the gun body violently. Because Xue Liang's tiger-headed gun was held in one hand at this time, and the other end had fallen to the ground, the huge rebound force shocked the body.

Xue Liang could no longer hold on, so he let go and took a few steps back. Qin Qiong's left mace also landed on top of his head.

"Accept!" Qin Qiong withdrew his mace, and after Xue Liang adjusted his body, the two of them went to Yang Lin to return his life.

"What a trick! Qin Qiong, with your martial arts, it is a pity to work under Tang Bi. Are you willing to serve under me? If you are willing, I can write a letter of divorce and reply to Tang Bi." Yang Linyue

Seeing that Qin Qiong liked her more and more, he was really afraid that Qin Qiong would reject her, but everyone has their own ambitions, and if Qin Qiong really didn't want to, he couldn't force others to do anything.

"Your Majesty, please allow Qin Qiong to go back and discuss this matter with her mother before making a decision. Moreover, Qin Qiong has promised Young Master Xiao to escort them back to Luoyang after the Qingming Festival. It will take fifteen days to return like this. After fifteen days,

Qin Qiong will definitely reply to the prince."

Knowing Qin Qiong's return, Yang Lin admired Qin Qiong even more and praised: "Well! That's fine. Loyalty, filial piety and trust are the foundation of a man's life. I will give you fifteen days. No matter what you decide by then,

I don’t even blame you.”
