Chapter 36 Exchange Conditions

As Deacon Yan came to the wooden corridor in front of the pavilion of Tingtaoyuan, he saw three people in the pavilion. In the middle, Princess Gao was wearing a jade crown and a purple robe and jade belt, as if dressed in a prince. Geng Gongfeng and Han Yue served on both sides, perhaps because they knew her identity as a woman. Luo Xiaoyao felt that her face was slightly pointed, her mouth was rosy, her eyes were like lacquer, and her face was as pink as a pink one, but she was three points of heroic posture and seven points of tenderness.

After standing outside the pavilion and seeing him, Princess Gao nodded and smiled, "Prince Luo, I guess I already know the identity of this princess. What do you think about the Xingdao Alliance surrendering to the court?" But he did not mention the issue of the sword.

"I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court officials and dare not speak nonsense."

"Young Master Luo is so cautious in his words. I think the elders of the master must be hidden masters. Can you tell me?"

"I don't want the elders of the master to be tired of ordinary things, so I can't tell you. I hope the princess will forgive me."

Princess Gao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "This is interesting. It's because Mr. Luo doesn't want it, not because the master sect is not allowed to be allowed to do so. However, the princess heard Master Lin say that it was because Mr. Luo and Mr. Shang's master sect did not allow the disciples to tell others where they came..."

Last night, she asked Han Yue to find Lin Yi, and also asked about Luo Xiaoyao's experience in joining the Xingdao Alliance.

Of course, Luo Xiaoyao is unwilling to tell, and the master is not allowed to tell, which naturally has a different meaning for Princess Gao. If the master is not allowed, it means that the master is unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world, so that the disciples who walk in the martial arts world will not be allowed to sign up for a famous school. Most of them are free or abandoned. In other words, if someone is beaten, the master will not come out to support him. If Luo Xiaoyao himself does not want to tell, it is different.

Luo Xiaoyao smiled, "The princess is very wise and admires her. I believe that she also asks the reason for the matter of Master Mo's winning of the weapon?"

He was originally a smart and quick-witted person, but when he followed Chu Nanfeng, he followed the etiquette and law, and was a little clumsy. At this time, he was unwilling to talk to Princess Gao, so he simply took the opportunity to make it clear.

Princess Gao put the folding fan in her hand together, "If Master Luo doesn't mention it, I almost forgot it. Han Yue, tell me what Master Mo said to Prince Luo."

"Yes, princess." Han Yue bowed to Gao Ruoyu, turned to Luo Xiaoyao and said, "Han Yue was ordered to investigate Master Mo yesterday. Regarding the origin of the sword, Master Mo insisted that it was from the Shu Palace."

Princess Gao smiled and continued, "Mr. Luo must have heard it clearly. Master Mo said it was taken from Shu Palace, and Master Luo said it was passed down from the master's sect. It is really difficult for me to judge which is true and which is false. Why not just keep this sword for the time being."

Luo Xiaoyao smiled bitterly when he heard this, thinking that the Gao family of King Jingnan had been passed down from generation to generation, and said, "The princess is a member of the royal family in Jingnan. He must also know that the official family judges right and wrong, and pays attention to evidence and evidence. If the princess is fair, can he send someone to go down to the Xiazhou Ferry and ask the waiter in the store and the shopkeeper, so he can know which one is true and which is false, so why do you have to say this?"

But when Geng Chongfeng heard a "noisy" sound, he suddenly jumped into the pavilion and punched Luo Xiaoyao who was standing outside the pavilion. Luo Xiaoyao felt that his figure had shaking, and his fist energy had reached his body. He quickly stepped back with his left foot, and he used a move of "sinking stones into the sea" of Bairu's palm to greet him, but he only removed Geng Chongfeng's surging 30% of his fist energy. The remaining momentum was still coming, so he shouted lightly, retreated again with his right foot, and greeted him with a move of "turning clouds and rain", but he was forced to retreat two steps again and barely retreated to the edge of the wooden railing in the corridor.

Just as Geng Chongfeng changed his moves, Luo Xiaoyao had already flashed to the left to avoid being forced to fall into the pond behind him. The quick reaction was beyond Geng Chongfeng's surprise.

Geng Gongfeng said "Okay", then followed with a punch. Luo Xiaoyao took two steps back and "reported to Li" to attack Ying. With a dull sound, he took three steps back in a row, but Geng Gongfeng only shook his body slightly.

When he stood still, he heard the sound of "receiving the sword", and Han Yue threw a long sword. Luo Xiaoyao was stunned and reached out to catch it. He guessed that Geng Gongfeng wanted to test his skills and to see his master's origin in his moves.

At this moment, his mind was slightly calm. He was not as good as Geng Gongfeng in terms of his strong energy, but his reaction was similar to Geng Gongfeng. He knew that Geng Gongfeng had been in the process of becoming aware of his spirit for many years and could not fight hard. After his thoughts changed rapidly, he retreated to the courtyard behind him.

The place in front of the pavilion was the widest place, but it was only two feet wide, and the corridor was only four feet wide, which was not conducive to using sword moves. When Geng Chongfeng saw him retreat quickly, his body moved and punched out with a punch, and a thick and powerful fist attacked Luo Xiaoyao. Although he was not a martial artist, nor was he good at fists and feet, he was after all, he was immersed in spirit for many years, and his fists were even more powerful than those of Deacon Yan, who practiced kung fu across the country. Even the gravel on the ground was also rolled up, like a hidden weapon, and shot towards Luo Xiaoyao.

Luo Xiaoyao did not dare to be negligent. He shook his right hand and made a move "fallen leaves fly away" out, knocking out the gravel that was attacking with the qi. At the same time, he took a step back, and used the "star horse running clouds" to defend first and then attack. The sword was well-organized. After several sounds, the fist energy that was attacked was turned into.

If it comes to martial arts competition, Luo Xiaoyao naturally lost. Geng Gongfeng only used one move, and Luo Xiaoyao two moves could resolve it. Then Geng Gongfeng said "Okay" again and attacked again. At this time, he fisted several times. The fist wind whirred. Luo Xiaoyao only felt the air flow around him swirling rapidly, running around his body, using the seven-style "Zhen Dior Dragon Swift", "Yezhuan Xing", "Zhang Lu Runs on the Moon", "Wing Snake Sprinkle Silks" and "Ghost Sheep Hangs the Horn" to resolve the offensive, but he was forced to retreat to the shadow wall in the courtyard.

Geng Gongfeng was about to raise his fist and then he heard a clapping sound, and then he heard Princess Gao say, "Okay, good skills, Mr. Geng, please step down."

Upon hearing this, Geng Gongfeng closed his fists and retreated, and welcomed Princess Gao who was walking towards the courtyard. He shook his head. He thought that he could not see through Luo Xiaoyao's origin. Princess Gao's expression changed slightly, and he smiled slightly, "Young Master Luo's fists and palms are hard and soft, and his sword moves are exquisite and changeable, and his style is transcendent. Such a young talent, I am afraid that only Young Master Luo is the only one in the world. It is really amazing."

She is similar to Luo Xiaoyao's age, and she speaks like an elder. I think it's because of her status as a princess, and she is usually rigorous in control, so she is so calm.

Luo Xiaoyao had never been praised by a woman in person, and she couldn't help but blush. After handing the sword to Han Yue, she clasped her fists and said, "The princess is too much."

"Young Master Luo is so old that he has such skills. Why not join the court and will become famous all over the world in the future."

Luo Xiaoyao heard Shang You's words last night and understood the intention of Princess Gao's recruitment, so he said: "Thank you for your kindness. I have been influenced by my elders since I was a child. I have no intention of fame and fortune in the Jianghu court. I hope you can forgive me."

Princess Gao saw that he was honest and had no false words, and his mind changed, "Things in the world are unpredictable. If one day the young master is interested in his career... I am welcomed by Princess at any time."

Luo Xiaoyao felt relieved when he heard this, "Thank you for your kindness. This time, he accidentally made Shui Longyin take over by Lord Mo. I hope the princess will give it back. I must be grateful."

"I can't be grateful? That's not necessary." Princess Gao couldn't hear his polite words, "If the young master can help the princess for three years, then Shuilongyin will give it to me, what?"

Luo Xiaoyao did not expect Princess Gao to say this, and he was stunned for a moment: "How can the princess be the daughter of a daughter? How can she use this coercive method?"

"Oh, Mr. Luo also knows that this princess is still a daughter-in-law. Then how should you punish me for your crime of seeing the princess' true body?"

Princess Gao also smiled calmly, although the woman's outfit still had the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, with a veil inside and a veil exposed, revealing her shoulders. Many people were there. However, Princess Gao was close to her after she went out to bathe. Luo Xiaoyao not only saw her naked shoulders, but also her snow legs were half exposed. As Princess Gao's identity, although it was unintentional, if she was investigated, she could be considered a crime. Luo Xiaoyao's face turned red and she was speechless for a moment.

Princess Gao saw that he was blushing, and then said, "Mr. Luo is still a gentleman. I know that it was unintentional offense. If the prince is willing to serve as Princess, this water dragon yin will be given immediately." She was quick-witted and would not say that she was returning the sword to avoid losing her word.

Luo Xiaoyao was a man with a promise of a thousand gold medals, and he didn't want to fool her. He shook his head and said, "I have no intention of utilitarianism, and I can't do the trick of stealing and robbing. I'm sorry to obey my fate." His tone was very determined.

Seeing that he was not hesitant, Princess Gao was stunned and changed her mind, "This water dragon yin was still taken away by Lord Mo, and it has nothing to do with this Princess. If Prince Luo wants to seek revenge and seek things, it should be looking for Lord Mo, right?"

This is really a slander. Luo Xiaoyao knew that she was very good at kung fu, so he said, "The Lord Mo is still the princess's subordinate. This time he won the Water Dragon Yin to offer to the princess. How can the princess say this? What's the difference with ordinary people in the market?"

But I heard Geng Gongfeng and Han Yue shout at the same time: "Random."

Princess Gao smiled and raised her hand to signal the two of them to be restless. She thought for a moment, "If Mr. Luo really likes this water dragon yin, I will definitely let it go with you, but Mr. Luo must exchange something for it."

At this time, she saw Luo Xiaoyao's face gradually became cold. She thought she was afraid that Luo Xiaoyao's sect would be out of place, so she proposed to barter.

Luo Xiaoyao knew that she was very scheming and the things she wanted to exchange were not ordinary. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "What?"

"Qin, a zither named Fengwu." It turned out that five years ago, when Emperor Liu Zhiyuan of the Han Dynasty became emperor, his father, Gao Conghui, the king of Nanping, gave Fengwuqin to Liu Zhiyuan as a tribute. Princess Gao also loved Fengwuqin and never forgot about it for many years.

"Feng Wuqin? Where is this qin now? The princess's masters are like clouds, why can't we find it?"

"I don't know where this Qin was left after the death of the Later Han Emperor Liu Zhiyuan. More than 20 days ago, fortunately, a musician from the former palace came to Jingnan, and only then did I learn that this Qin was given to his nephew by the Later Han Emperor five years ago, that is, the current Northern Han prince Liu Chengjun."

"If it weren't for the fact that the hall masters had already gone out to look for treasure, haha, this princess would have designated this item. If Mr. Luo could bring Fengwuqin, this princess could exchange the water dragon yin."

Luo Xiaoyao smiled bitterly. If he agreed, it would be a matter of stealing and robbing. At that time, Princess Gao seemed to see his doubts and smiled and said, "This zither was originally a thing of my Gao family. It was just that the envoy of the Later Han Dynasty called for it, and the father-in-law had no choice but to offer it. At this time, it must be Liu Chengjun's plan."

"Is this true?" As soon as Luo Xiaoyao said, he felt that he was just deceiving himself. Regardless of the true or false words of Princess Gao, if he agreed, he would be a steal. He sighed in his heart, thinking that Shui Longyin was still passed down by the master, and he must not be lost. If he wanted to get it well, he could only do so at present, so he said: "For Feng Wuqin... can he take it as a real number?"

The implication was that he was afraid that Princess Gao would cheat, Princess Gao smiled: "If Princess I agree, I will never regret it."

Seeing that she looked serious and thought it was true, Luo Xiaoyao said, "Okay, I'll go and exchange water dragon roars with the princess. However, I have something to ask for, so I hope the princess will help."

"Oh, what's wrong with Mr. Luo? But let's talk about it." Princess Gao looked surprised.

"I came to Jingnan this time to find out a monk with the Dharma name Mingwu. I only know that he came from Jingnan, but I don't know which temple he came from. I wonder if the princess can help?"

If he was Princess Gao, he would have achieved twice the result with half the effort when he found Mingwu's whereabouts. Luo Xiaoyao's intelligent man naturally thought of this, so he agreed to find a zither and change his sword.

Princess Gao thought for a moment and said, "There is no high monk in Ming Dynasty? Do you have any grudges with the young master?"

Luo Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "It's not the case. The elders in the next family were unfortunately injured. I heard that no monk in Ming Dynasty had any skills to treat him, so I came to Jingnan to visit him and go to help him."

"Oh, so that's it... Mr. Luo, please rest assured. I will order people to visit the temples in the territory immediately. Even if I am not in Jingnan, I will go around and inquire about it."

She saw that Luo Xiaoyao was still honest and expected that what she said was true, and she felt secretly happy in her heart. She thought that if she could find the monk Mingwu, Luo Xiaoyao would take on this kind of human feelings. Thinking of this, she said: "If you find Master Mingwu, this princess will invite the prince of the island, the princess of the island. This time, it is not easy to find the Qin and the party in Northern Han. Please be careful."

"Thank you, Princess. If the princess finds the trace of the master, I hope you can tell the Dharma Shang. He will go to the lower sect to tell him." After saying that, he bowed and left.

Princess Gao really loves him. She wanted to use the water dragon yin to threaten Luo Xiaoyao for her own use. Now when she heard about Luo Xiaoyao's request, she looked very concerned when she mentioned the slander at home. She thought that the relationship was extraordinary. She was in the court and was very good at observing her face. She knew that Luo Xiaoyao was a person who knew how to repay kindness. When she thought that when she found the Ming Wu monk, she sent someone to inform Luo Xiaoyao to come back. At that time, whether she was charitable or Luo Xiaoyao repaying her kindness, she would always win him over.

Unfortunately, Luo Xiaoyao didn't want to owe her favors. He thought to himself that Shui Longyin was his own thing. If Princess Gao could help find the monk Mingwu, going to find Feng Wuqin this time would be a reward, but the two of them had their own thoughts.

After Luo Xiaoyao left, Princess Gao turned to Geng Gong and said, "It is probably not easy to seize the zither at the Prince of Northern Han's mansion. This is a very skilled young master, and his master must have a great background. Unfortunately, I didn't say that I had found a monk earlier. Although Feng Wuqin is good, how can I compare to Mr. Luo like this? Mr. Geng, go and ask Na Mo Bushan to secretly follow and protect Mr. Luo, just think that he will redeem his sins and also order several hall masters..."

It seemed that he was inappropriate and changed his words: "These characters in the martial arts and lakes are vulgar, and they may be shocked by the monks who practiced the Qing Dynasty. You should mobilize some smart people in the mansion to visit the temples in the country, inquire about the whereabouts of the Ming and Wu monks, and send a message back as soon as there is news."

One by one by one

On the way outside the Medicine King Valley, several people were walking. One of the middle-aged men in cloth shirts stopped, squatted down, looked at a little girl beside her with a ponytail and tears in her eyes, and held her slender shoulders and said, "Qingqing, go back with Grandpa Miao. When you have time in the future, Uncle Fang will definitely come to see you."

The man who spoke was Fang Changsheng, while the little girl was Changqingqing who escaped from Daizhou Inn.

Chang Qingqing nodded when he heard this, bit his lips and nodded, but tears also slid down his little face. Fang Changsheng used his hand to stroke the tears on her face and sighed. Finally, he stood up and bowed to Miao Changning and others, "Fang said goodbye." He finally turned around without turning his head.

It turned out that after Liu Gongwen went to Yan Zhongchang's room that day, Chang Qingqing struggled to get out of bed, arched the cloth strips blocked on his mouth towards the edge of the bed, jumped to the table with leftover vegetables in the room, broke a porcelain bowl, and cut the cloth strips tied to his hands.

Fortunately, it was not a thick rope, but Liu Gongwen tore the cloth strips on the quilt. It took not much time. After the cloth strips tied to his hands and feet were cut and untied, he hid the broken bowls and cloth strips under the bed. But it was a problem to think that it was a penniless thing, so he took some broken silver from the package and opened the back window. He saw a pile of horse grass under the window. He was not afraid, so he jumped down from the window that was more than meter high.

At that time, all the grooms were drinking and chatting in the Mafang shop, but they didn't notice it, but they were seen by the old man surnamed Yuan who was guarding the gate. Chang Qingqing was quite alert. Seeing that it was getting late, he knew that most of them had closed their doors to rest. At this moment, he fled to the streets and was alone and was found by Liu Gongwen, so he knelt down and asked for help from the old man surnamed Yuan, saying that he was being taken by a villain.

At that time, the world was chaotic, and it was true that evil people often plundered other people's children and sold brothels. Mr. Yuan's family died of war and was left with only himself. He was a man who watched the yard and fed horses in the backyard of this inn. Naturally, he also heard many unfair things in the world from the guests who were traveling around the world. However, when he saw Chang Qingqing, he felt pity for him, and hid Chang Qingqing in the room.

When Liu Gongwen asked, he pretended to be on his ear. Liu Gongwen didn't expect Chang Qingqing to hide in the doorman. He saw that Old Man Yuan seemed to be a person with his ears and smelled of alcohol. He had always paid attention to cleanliness, but he was unwilling to get close. After Uncle Yuan asked loudly, he felt bored, but he went to the street to search and missed the opportunity to find Chang Qingqing.

The next day, Mr. Yuan noticed Liu Gongwen's movements. When the groom who came with Chang Qingqing left the yard, he followed him. After seeing Liu Gongwen and others leaving, he told Chang Qingqing.

Chang Qingqing cried with joy and thanked her for helping her life, and then she wanted to leave. The old man Yuan also learned from the conversation that her parents were both killed by the Liao soldiers and an adoptive father was in Xiangzhou. He thought that he had been going to Xiangzhou for more than a thousand miles. He was so difficult for her little girl. Thinking that she was also lonely and helpless, looking at the pitiful Chang Qingqing, after some thought, he decided to go to Xiangzhou with her. Chang Qingqing was even more sad and joyful in surprise.

Uncle Yuan left the hospital to look after the hospital, prepared dry food and took Chang Qingqing all the way south. On the way, he also met many refugees who went south to the Central Plains, so he accompanied him, and there was nothing wrong along the way. After a month of more than a meal and sleeping in the open air, the elderly and the young also went to Xiangzhou and found the courtyard where Gan Shaolong and Fang Changsheng lived.

Fang Changsheng saw Chang Qingqing coming, and he could hardly believe it, and shouted that God had eyes. It turned out that when Miao Changning arranged his granddaughter to go north to Youzhou after returning to the valley, Fang Changsheng also wanted to go with him. After Miao Changning persuaded him, he stayed in Xiangzhou to wait for news, but unexpectedly, he heard the bad news about Gan Shaolong's death. He was deeply sad and asked about Chang Qingqing's whereabouts.

When I learned that she had escaped from the Northern Han area, I felt even more worried when I was happy. But I wanted a little girl to be helpless and had no choice but to suffer in the chaos of war. In an anxious mood, I also ordered the beggars to search in the Northern Han area, but I had never met her. In my daily worries, I suddenly saw Chang Qingqing coming, so I was naturally ecstatic.

I remembered the words that Gan Shaolong had entrusted him when he left. I was overjoyed but looked sad, but the young and intelligent Chang Qingqing saw something wrong. He asked about his adoptive father Gan Shaolong's whereabouts. Fang Changsheng knew that he could not hide it, so he had to tell her the news that Gan Shaolong was dead.

Although Chang Qingqing had been with Gan Shaolong for less than two months, the relationship between life and death was like a father and daughter. However, she knew that Gan Shaolong had lost his life for her, and was stunned for a moment, and she burst into tears. Although she was young, she had experienced hardships and had lost many relatives in the past two or three months. She was sad for a while and she cried and fainted, which made Fang Changsheng and Yuan Lao cry.

A few days later, Chang Qingqing came back to her senses, but she heard that Fang Changsheng wanted to take him to the Medicine King Valley, but she was unwilling to leave Fang Changsheng and Yuan Bo. Fang Changsheng had no choice but to ask her to learn skills in the Medicine King Valley to avenge Gan Shaolong, and Fang persuaded Chang Qingqing to nod and agree.

It was the end of the year and the weather was very cold. Fang Changsheng waited until the spring of the following year before taking her forward.

Chang Qingqing was very sensible and felt that Yuan Bo was so kind to save his life. Seeing that he was old, he asked Yuan Bo to go with him, in order to be with him and take care of him. Yuan Bo was lonely and loved her very brave, and he happily agreed upon it when he heard this.

After arriving at the Medicine King Valley, Miao Changning and Miao Xiuzhu and his wife were both happy. After Gan Shaolong saved Miao Kexue, their hatred for Gan Shaolong's stealing books had long disappeared, not to mention that Chang Qingqing also returned the "Hundred Insects and Poison Sutra" hidden by Gan Shaolong on her.

Gan Shaolong's death was also because of Miao Kexue's captive. The Miao people felt grateful and loved Chang Qingqing very much.
