training martial arts

On the afternoon of the second day after Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling arrived, the people from the Li family also arrived at the ranch.

At this time, Li Yuan had already called the fief and king, and the name of the country was Tang.The representatives of this group were Li Yuan's daughter Li Xiuning and two ministers Li Gang and Dou Wei. Li Xiuning's fiancé-in-law Chai Shao also came to the ranch with them as an attendant.

In addition, Li Mi also sent Li Tianfan and Shen Luoyan to sneak into the Pegasus Ranch secretly, preparing to take this opportunity to start an operation.

"Sister Xiuning came from afar, and the boat is exhausting, please come in and rest."

Zheng Xie followed Shang Xiuxun to meet Li Xiuning outside the city gate, and after greeting Li Xiuning for a while, Shang Xiuxun invited them into the pasture.

"The guest is up to the host, and Xiu Ning Dan is arranged by her sister." Li Xiu Ning said with a smile, her attitude was modest but did not lose the demeanor of a Tang princess.

A group of people stepped over the suspension bridge and entered the inner castle of the ranch.

On the way, Li Xiuning took a look at Zheng Xie, his eyes were shining brightly, and he took the initiative to ask: "This young man has an extraordinary bearing, he must be Mr. Zheng Xie who once swam the Yangtze River with Qingxuan."

She was able to call out Zheng Xie's name as soon as she opened her mouth, obviously she had done her homework long ago.

"That's right, it's Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Xie laughed at herself, "I never imagined that Zheng would one day become famous through a woman."

Li Xiuning said angrily: "Everyone Qingxuan is famous all over the world, and I don't know how many heroes in the world are envious of being able to swim with everyone in Qingxuan. I wish I could replace them with my body, but Brother Zheng is still born in a blessing. People are jealous. Not only that, but brother Zheng has a great skill, he once defeated General Manager Du of the Jianghuai Army, and he is also famous far and wide."

"That scene didn't really start, it was just rumors."

Zheng Xie smiled, and said again: "Princess Xiuning, there is no need to underestimate yourself. Everyone in Qingxuan is well-known all over the world, but the status and reputation of a princess is not bad at all. Why envy others."

"Brother Zheng loves you, Xiu Ning still has self-knowledge."

Li Xiuning always had a smile on her face, graciously admitting that she is inferior to others, without the arrogance and domineeringness of a princess.He said again: "After Dongping County and his party, people in Jianghu are guessing where Brother Zheng went, but unexpectedly, he is here with Sister Xiuxun. Could it be..."

Zheng Xie chuckled, and said frankly: "Ha, Princess Xiuning guessed right, Zheng is pursuing Xiuxun."

Li Xiuning's expression moved slightly, and she joked: "My sister really hides her secrets. Even a person like Brother Zheng is attracted by her. My little sister is really envious."

Shang Xiuxun snorted softly, and said: "He is him, and I am me. We have nothing to do with each other. If you like, you can recruit him to be your son-in-law." The tone was a bit arrogant, and anyone could tell that it was unusual mean.

Li Xiuning "giggled" and didn't continue to delve into it. Instead, she changed the subject and talked about cooperation with Shang Xiuxun.

Shang Xiuxun looked left and right, but didn't answer directly.

Li Xiuning seemed to have expected it a long time ago, after a few words of probing, he stopped talking.But judging by her expression, she was not the kind of person who would give up easily.

Pegasus Ranch has already been booked by me.Li Tang dared to poach a corner in front of me.

Zheng Xie glanced at Li Tang's entourage, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he stomped his toes, and a stone jumped up, shooting at one of the tall and straight men.

"Whoosh."

The sound of breaking wind sounded.

Everyone's expressions changed instantly.

"Chuck."

Suddenly, the man drew his sword.A ray of sword light slashed towards the front of him, showing his good swordsmanship skills.

The stone was ferocious, but when it flew in front of the man, it stopped suddenly and fell vertically to the ground.

Sword light cuts through the air.

No one expected that such an accident would happen suddenly, and they all showed surprise and surprise.

Right now.Zheng Xie stepped forward and appeared in front of the man, reaching out to grab him.

The man turned his wrist, and the long sword transformed into thousands of sword lights, rushing towards Zheng Xie like a waterfall.

There was a smile on Zheng Xie's face, his moves remained the same, with just a flick of his fingers, the sword curtain disappeared suddenly, his palm had passed through the sword light, as if he had practiced it thousands of times, he easily strangled this man's throat .

"when."

Only then did the sound come, and the long sword broke into seven pieces, scattered on the ground.

"Your Excellency has such martial arts skills, how could you be willing to be a servant. Tell me, what is your purpose in sneaking into the princess's team?" Zheng Xie choked him by the neck and lifted him up, asking sharply.

The person's face turned purple, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat.

Li Xiuning shouted eagerly: "Stop!"

"Huh?" Zheng Xie had a puzzled look on his face. In fact, he already knew that this person was actually Chai Shao, Li Xiuning's fiancé-in-law, but he didn't reveal his identity.

Li Xiuning's expression eased for a moment, and he said in a gentle voice: "He is the bodyguard sent by the king to secretly protect Xiuning, Brother Zheng, can you let him go first?"

"Haha, the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple, so it was our own people."

Zheng Xie laughed, put him down, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "I saw that this brother has a steady pace and a restrained essence, so I mistook him for an enemy spy and mixed up with the princess team to plot against the princess. It's all a misunderstanding, my brother's martial arts are amazing, so he must be unknown, I don't know how to call him?"

Chai Shao lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Little man Li Shao, thank you for your mercy, young master."

After listening carefully, one could detect the strong resentment in his tone.

Li Xiuning chuckled, and interjected: "Brother Zheng can tell the strength of my guards at a glance, and his eyesight is extraordinary, so it can be seen that the rumors in the world are not false."

Shang Xiuxun said: "Don't hurt the peace of the two families because of a misunderstanding, princess please."

After such a commotion, the atmosphere became much colder, Shang Xiuxun was not in the mood to talk too much, arranged for Li Xiuning's team, and left.

After leaving the small courtyard, Shang Xiuxun stepped back and asked Zheng Xie, "Why did you do this? Don't tell me it was just a moment of kindness."

Zheng Xie said, "I just want to remind you, didn't Xiuxun find any problems?"

Shang Xiuxun shook his head and said, "What's the problem?"

Zheng Xie said: "That man is definitely not as simple as a guard. Although he conceals it well, he always reveals a cold and arrogant expression inadvertently. This is a kind of arrogance from the heart. He must come from an extraordinary background. Only a son who lives in a noble family will have this kind of look. Especially when he looks at Li Xiuning, it is definitely not the look a guard should have when looking at his master, and when he looks at Li Gang and Dou Wei, he even has a condescending look. Look, if I'm not mistaken, he must be an important person in Li Tangzhong. Adding in the name Li Shao, there is an [-]% chance that he is Li Xiuning's fiancé-in-law, Chai Shao."

Shang Xiuxun's face suddenly darkened, if he was simply a guard, then she would have nothing to say.But if it was really an important person like Chai Shao who pretended to come here, it was a deliberate deception, even if he didn't have any intentions, at least it was out of courtesy.

"It's in vain that I feel like sisters with her, but Li Xiuning bullies me like this, saying one thing on the surface and doing another in secret." Shang Xiuxun's temperament is more arrogant than Li Xiuning's, so how can he still play with them.

Zheng Xie said with a smile: "Don't be angry with Xiuxun either. This has always been the case with high-ranking clansmen. Everything is for the clan's interests. People are in troubled times and cannot help themselves. People don't hurt a tiger's heart, but a tiger hurts others. Xiuxun Although I don't want to participate in the competition of forces, sometimes you can't help it. Don't think so much, just be on guard against them."

Shang Xiuxun sighed, gave Zheng Xie another look, and said, "Let me see, you are the one with the most sinister thoughts. You are talking about so many things, but you are also planning to go to the ranch."

"Xiu Xun really wronged me. I was just playing with your ideas. If you don't believe me, you can put down the ranch and follow me. I promise not to touch the ranch at all."

Zheng Xie held her hand and put it on her chest, said: "When people lie, their heart beats faster, Xiuxun should be able to feel my sincerity."

Shang Xiuxun withdrew his hand and said: "You are already a great master in lying, whoever believes in you is a fool."

Zheng Xie shrugged and smiled.

……

passenger compartment.

Li Xiuning, Chai Shao, Li Gang and Dou Wei gathered together.

Li Gang said: "Princess, Zheng Xie has already seen something."

Li Xiuning said: "Ten times out of ten, Zheng Xie has already guessed Chai Shao's identity, otherwise he would not have acted recklessly. We must not underestimate the enemy."

Dou Wei said: "Then what should we do, should we tell the owner of the mall clearly?"

Li Xiuning shook her head and said: "That's not necessary. Even if she guessed it, she wouldn't reveal it. It's just a tacit understanding between the two. It's just that this cooperation may have more twists and turns."

Li Gang sighed: "My son-in-law's kung fu is already top-notch among the younger generation, if he deliberately hides it, how can he see it?"

Chai Shao said bitterly: "The one surnamed Zheng made me suffer this humiliation, I will definitely make him look good."

Li Xiuning said coldly: "You'd better not act rashly. According to the information collected by the spies, Zheng Xie's martial arts are terribly high, and he is probably even higher than Second Uncle. I advise you to stop thinking about it as soon as possible."

Li Xiuning's second uncle, Li Shentong, is the number one master of the Li Clan, and his martial arts are even better than Li Yuan and Li Jiyuan. , he can count as one of them.

Several people gasped, Chai Shao said: "How is it possible, is he still a great master?"

Li Xiuning said: "It is speculated that this person once fought with the Queen of Yin, the suzerain of the Yingui Sect, and even killed a senior expert in the Yingui Sect. I have never seen him do it himself, so no one can be sure. How deep is his martial arts?"

"It's just a guess. How can a person surnamed Zheng have such high kung fu at such a young age." Chai Shao encouraged himself.

There were only four people who knew that Zheng Xie and Zhu Yuyan had fought each other, Shi Qingxuan and Zhu Yuyan would not say much, and Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu did not spread the word everywhere.However, according to some speculative clues, someone put forward a guess that is very close to the truth.

Li Xiuning and the others had a hasty discussion for a while, and the dinner party had already begun.

At the banquet, there was another vain and submissive, amicable end.

At night, a man in black sneaked out from the courtyard of the big housekeeper Shang Zhen, went to the outer castle to have a secret meeting with Li Tianfan, and after exchanging news, sneaked back to the inner castle.

Li Mi's plan also started. (To be continued..)
