Chapter 42: The Huns Go South
Chapter 42 The Huns Go South
There are many houses in the Xuan Mansion, so it is no problem to live in two people. Lu Su called a maid and led Gao Yao. Gao Yue and the others retreated. Only Xuan Tianji and Lu Su were left in the field.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. Xuan Tianji held Lu Su in his arms and gently stroked her hair. He took a deep breath, and a faint fragrance came, making people nostalgic.
Lu's face was as plain as a peach blossom, gasping slightly, leaning quietly against Xuan Tianji's chest.
The two hugged each other and separated for a long time.
Xuan Tianji said, "Su'er, let me see your martial arts!"
Lu Su nodded gently, she pulled out a sword and danced in the field. She stabbed her sword, shook it gently, and quickly turned into three identical swords. It was the Taoist technique of "one Qi transformed into three purses"; after a moment, she abandoned the sword and used a "Nine Yin Divine Claws" with her hands. With a slender hand, a stone that fell one foot away fell on her hand. With a pinch, the stone turned into powder and dissipated with the wind.
Xuan Tianji was interesting to watch, and he stepped into the field and said, "Su'er, we'll have a fight too!" His figure flashed and he arrived in front of Lu Su.
When Lu Su heard the sound of the wind, she attacked with her claws. But when Xuan Tianji pointed lightly, pointing at the weak point of Lu Su's move. Lu Su was forced to change the moves in the middle, she gently tapped her toes and retreated several feet.
Xuan Tianji didn't chase him, waiting for Lu Su to attack again. After the two of them passed hundreds of moves one after another, Lu Su gradually became a little tired, and dense beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. She spitted out her tongue and said playfully: "I won't fight anymore! I won't fight anymore! My husband's martial arts are really amazing!"
Xuan Tianji stopped, looked at Lu Su with a smile, and said, "Su'er's martial arts skills are good, and it seems that she has put in a lot of effort these days!"
"I just don't want to be a drag on my husband," Lu Su said lightly: "Su'er can see that his husband's heart is so big that he can't stand this world. Su'er is dedicated to practicing martial arts, but she just hopes that one day she can still follow her husband's footsteps and watch him show his power. That's enough!"
After hearing this, Xuan Tianji held Lu Su's hand and said pity: "What a silly girl! Don't worry, my husband won't leave you alone." He looked at the sky slowly, with an indescribable charm in his eyes.
The next day, Gao Yao got up early in the morning and was busy preparing breakfast for Xuan Tianji and others. Xuan Tianji smiled and said, "This person is proficient in cooking, so Su'er is so lucky!"
Lu Su was still uncomfortable and said curiously: "The old saying goes: A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. He is afraid that it is inappropriate to do this cooking!"
Xuan Tianji smiled casually and replied: "Su'er, please be content. Men in my hometown can also cook by themselves. Besides, this 'gentleman stays away from the kitchen' means that a gentleman has a kind heart and cannot bear to kill him. It's not that a gentleman does not cook!"
Lu Su smiled shyly and said, "It's because Su'er is not very knowledgeable, so she makes her husband laugh at me!"
As he was talking, Gao Yao brought the food up and smiled and said, "The best tremella seed soup is here, please try it!"
Lu Su took a sip and said after a while: "Mr. Gao is doing really well!"
"Not bad!" Xuan Tianji also tasted it and praised. He paused and said, "You are a little clever. Well, today I will explain the "Nine Yin Scriptures" to you. Otherwise, I may not be able to learn it at your level as a chef, so I may have another Chen Xuanfeng in the world."
Gao Yao was revealed and smiled awkwardly. He was extremely happy after receiving the "Nine Yin Scriptures". He thought that his rise was about to begin. Unexpectedly, after turning on the secret book, he was shocked to find that he could not understand at all. Then he thought that he would show more in front of Xuan Tianji and get Xuan Tianji's explanation.
Xuan Tianji pointed out with one finger that Gao Yao only felt that there were more memories in his mind. This was Xuan Tianji who directly used the method of initiation to pass on some common sense he had practiced to Gao Yao. After a while, Gao Yao came back to his sense of consciousness and said respectfully: "Thank you for your re-creation of Taoist priest!"
Xuan Tianji smiled and said, "It's a pain to raise his hand!" He had watched the TV series "Myth" and sympathized with Gao Yao, the number one villain in the play. Now that he met, what's the point of helping him? He has eliminated the possibility of Gao Yao entering the palace, and now he has given Gao Yao a little bit of glory and wealth, a place to settle down, which can be regarded as the affection of his fellow villager, although this fellow villager may not be worthy of his name...
Xuan Tianji closed his eyes and meditated, and the rest of the people also found a place to practice. After a while, Xuan Tianji opened his eyes and stepped out of Xuan Mansion in one step.
Outside Xuan Mansion was Zhao Gao in a scarlet robe. Seeing Xuan Tianji leave the mansion, Zhao Gao hurriedly greeted him.
"Congratulations to Lord Xuan, it is so gratifying to have made such great contributions to the empire!"
"Mr. Zhao is too rewarded! I wonder what is important to come today?"
"The king was very happy to hear that the Lord had returned to Xianyang. He specially set up a celebration banquet. Now I will order me to invite the Lord to the banquet!"
"Since that's the case, let's go!"
The air around him fluctuated and the two disappeared.
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng was in high throne, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and slowly said, "Xuan Keqing's martial arts are superb, and he will destroy the rebellion of the Mo family in one fell swoop. I will give you a cup!" After that, he drank it all.
Xuan Tianji stood up and smiled and said, "The king has given me a reward! The so-called "eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king" are my duty!"
"Zhao Gao, when the banquet is over, I will pick some good genius treasures to give to Xuan Keqing!"
"Here!" Zhao Gao replied respectfully
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xuan Tianji bowed and said.
"I am very curious. I wonder if Xuan Keqing is willing to solve my doubts?"
"Please tell me, please tell me." Xuan Tianji was also a little curious, not knowing what Ying Zheng would ask.
"Xuan Keqing likes genius treasures, but I wonder if he can refine elixirs?"
"I have been taught by strange people and have a little knowledge of alchemy!"
"Is there an elixir of immortality?" Ying Zheng's face looked a little quick, and it seemed that he cared about the answer very much.
"With my ability, I can practice elixirs that can prolong my life for twenty years. Is this elixir of immortality? Maybe there is, but I have never seen it!" Xuan Tianji said quietly. He took out a purple gourd from his sleeve and said, "There are ten 'life enhancement pills' in it, which I have recently refined. Taking this one can increase my life for twenty years. Today I will give it to Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard Xuan Tianji's words and hurriedly said, "Come on!"
Zhao Gao took the gourd from Xuan Tianji's hand, and after a check, he handed it to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng smelled the fragrance of the pill and felt relieved all over, and couldn't help but praise: "Xuan Keqing is really amazing. With Xuan Keqing here, it's really a blessing for my great Qin!"
At this moment, an inner guard came to report. "Report to the king, the north is urgently reporting!"
“Support it!”
"Here!"
After a while, Ying Zheng was furious. "Damn the Huns, I didn't provoke you, you're going to provoke me first! It's really a crime, and a crime deserves a thousand deaths! The person who came, ordered Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Huns in the north. If he didn't defeat the Huns, he would not be able to fight the troops!"
"Here!" The inner guard hurriedly retreated and went to pass the order.
"I wonder why the king was angry?" Xuan Tianji asked.
"The Huns invaded the south and attacked our Qin border, burned, killed and looted all the way, and no grass grew everywhere. It was really outrageous!"
A dangerous light appeared in Xuan Tianji's eyes, and he said quietly: "I would like to accompany the army, and I would like to agree!"
"Okay, okay! I feel relieved if Xuan Keqing takes action!" Ying Zheng said happily. "It's just that I'm troubled Xuan Keqing again!"
"It's okay!" Xuan Tianji replied. "I'll go and prepare now."
