It was Dai's mother who spoke first to Dai Song and Dai Yinping: "Song'er, Yinping, these are all your elders. Where is there a place for you to sit and not stand to serve them?"
Dai Song and Dai Yinping were about to stand up when they heard Qiu Yizhi say: "Old lady, this is not right. My foster father and the marshal are fellow comrades in arms, and the juniors should be of the same generation as Dai Song and Miss Yinping. If they are If you stand and wait, the juniors won’t be able to sit down.”
Dai's mother listened to his words rationally and couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.
Qiu Yizhi continued: "We are all in the army, we are not as good as those rotten Confucian scholars who spend all day writing useless articles. Isn't it just two seats? I saw two beheaded statues outside the door. Why don’t you use the lion as a seat?”
After hearing this, Dai Song didn't wait for his father and grandmother to speak, and said with a smile: "Okay, this is a good idea. I'll go out and move the lion!" After that, he got up and walked outside.
A seat became available, and Qiu Yizhi asked his brother Yuchi Lianghong to sit down.
Yuchi Lianghong was not polite. He bowed to everyone present and said: "Your Excellency, Yuchi Lianghong, I have heard about Marshal Dai's reputation for a long time. It is truly a blessing to have us dine at the same table today!" After that, he lifted the corner of his robe and sat down. On the stone pier, the posture is extremely free and easy.
Dai Luanxiang was surprised when he heard this and said: "So you are the hero Yuchi. Dai is disrespectful. A few days ago, Dai was still in the prison car. He once saw the hero knocking down two guards easily with a simple test of his skills. He was still thinking about it. Who is this hero with such skill? Now that I know the identity of Hero Yuchi, I realize that the title of 'Master of the Martial Arts Alliance' is truly worthy of his name!" After saying that, he stood up and saluted Yuchi Lianghong.
Yuchi Lianghong also stood up and returned the courtesy.
Just as the two were chatting, they saw Dai Song holding a stone lion with half of its head in his arms and walking towards him with his head tilted. I saw that he was not angry, his face was calm, and his steps were extremely light and strong. If it weren't for the fact that the stone lions had no hands to grasp, it would be a piece of cake for him to grab one with one hand.
When Yuchi Lianghong saw that the lion, which weighed at least three to four hundred kilograms, was easily carried into the hall by a child who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he kept cheering and said: "Sure enough, Jiangmen Huzi has extraordinary physical strength. I am really big." Eye-opening!”
Dai Luanxiang just praised Yuchi Lianghong, and Dai Song heard it at the temple gate. He was about to test the martial arts leader's skills, so he said loudly: "How can I withstand the praise of the hero Yuchi with my meager skills? No, I'm exhausted, my back is sore and my legs are hurting, so I'd like to ask a hero to help me." As he spoke, he took a deep breath, twisted his back, and threw the lion in his arms towards Yuchi Lianghong.
Yuchi Lianghong saw that the person coming was not kind, so he gently stretched out his right hand, and by some unknown means, he made the extremely heavy stone lion stop right in his palm, and said: "Young Master is really powerful!" After that, he twisted his waist, changed his hands, and slapped the broken half of the stone lion's head, and then he slapped the stone lion hard to the ground. The impact was so strong that even the altar, which was carved from a single piece of stone, was shaken and the chopsticks fell to the floor.
Qiu Yi's ears and eyes were impressed by the demeanor of his adoptive father Zheng Rong, who loved his soldiers like his own son, so he did not order Youyan's soldiers to withdraw from the ruined temple hall. They were very surprised to see Dai Song's supernatural power, and they couldn't help but cheered when they saw Yuchi Lianghong's powerful move of Rabbit Rises and Falcon Falling, and his figure was extremely free and unrestrained.
Dai Luanxiang couldn't help but applaud, and seeing that his son's lack of arm strength and improvement in a few days did not embarrass him, he said to Dai Song: "Dai Song, this hero Yuchi is a famous elder in the martial arts, why is he so rude? Why don't you come over and apologize?" Although his tone was stern, there was a smile on his face.
Dai Song was honest, and hurriedly came over and offered his hand to Yuchi Lianghong, and said: "The movements of heroes Yuchi are probably more powerful than those of a thousand people. This junior is eye-opening, and I am really convinced!"
Yuchi Lianghong smiled and said: "How can I have any strength? It's all just opportunistic means. How can it compare with the divine power in Master Dai's hands? If I really want to take the Master's move forcefully, I'm afraid I'll be bleeding from all my orifices. Yes!" He laughed out loud.
Dai Luanxiang also answered: "Dai Song, remember, using soldiers is the same as practicing martial arts. It also pays attention to waiting for the opportunity to move and gathering momentum. If you act recklessly, you must not get a bloody blow? Okay, you go down and move the lion. come on!"
After hearing this, Dai Song bowed hurriedly and skipped away from the temple along the original road.
Dai Luanxiang watched Dai Song leave, but said to Yuchi Lianghong: "I have heard for a long time that the Yuchi family's martial arts have a long history and are outstanding. As early as the founding of Emperor Taizu, they were unique in the world. I didn't expect that it would spread to the great hero Yuchi. Such accomplishments.”
Yuchi Lianghong was about to say a few words of humility when he heard Dai Luanxiang continue: "However, Dai has heard for a long time that the Yuchi family has never had anything to do with the government, and the court has been rejected several times by the imperial court. How can a hero work for Prince Youyan? "
Yuchi Lianghong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It was just by chance that I became sworn brothers with the same surname as the adopted son of the prince. I lived for a few more years and called myself brother. This is how I am fortunate to work under my brother. Just doing some chores for Prince Youyan. To be honest with Marshal Dai, I have only met the prince a few times and only exchanged a few words with him. How can I call him working for the prince?"
Dai Luanxiang thought that Yuchi Lianghong was sent to assist him because Zheng Rong, King of Youyan, was worried about Qiu Yizhi. Unexpectedly, there was such a connection between the two of them, so he said to Qiu Yizhi: "Young Master is very good at using troops. His ability and scheming are already impressive, but he never imagined that he could be so tolerant. It’s really unfathomable to be able to become a brother to the number one master in martial arts today!”
Qiu Yizhi walked around half of the altar, sat down on the severed stone lion, and said with a smile: "Junior, a young boy with a yellow mouth, is nothing more than a fox pretending to be a tiger. A person like this junior will be promoted by my adoptive father. If my adoptive father hadn't fallen in love with him by mistake, how could he have the chance to become a sworn brother with me?"
Dai Luanxiang knew Qiu Yizhi's abilities, and among his peers, there were probably very few people in the world who could compare with him. His words just now were just self-effacing, so he said casually: "The prince's hidden dragons and crouching tigers are really beyond the reach of ordinary people. "
Dai's mother also sighed at the side: "What Luan Xiang said is true. Mr. Qiu is indeed capable. Otherwise, how could we rescue the three of us from the capital? In the end, it is the prince's benevolence that will send him here. So. After all, I still trusted Prince Hongfu!"
When Qiu Yizhi heard them commenting on her adoptive father, she listened with seriousness and respect, not daring to answer. It was not until they finished speaking that she saw Dai Song coming into the room with another stone lion in his hands. Then he asked Dai Song to sit down and said to him. Everyone said: "What the old lady said is right! Come on, let's have tea instead of wine and wish my adoptive father, the prince, a long life!"
The four words "Longevity without Borders" are a eulogy exclusively for the emperor, and cannot be used arbitrarily even by someone as noble as Zheng Rong.
Dai Luanxiang was stunned after hearing this. He raised the glass in his hand, but did not dare to drink it.
Dai's mother seemed completely unaware of the taboo. She raised the porcelain bowl into which the hot tea was poured, touched it with Qiu Yizhi's hand, and took a deep sip.
Seeing this, Dai Luanxiang had no choice but to bring the tea bowl to his mouth and swallowed carefully, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Qiu Yizhi originally intended to persuade Dai Luanxiang and others to surrender to his adoptive father. When he secretly saw everyone toasting his birthday, he drank all the tea in the bowl and said, "Marshal, don't blame me for speaking out of season. Although we are temporarily safe, But we are still in the den of dragons and tigers. I don’t know what the marshal’s plans are in the future.”
Dai Luanxiang had already guessed what Qiu Yizhi was thinking. He picked up a mouthful of food with his chopsticks, put it in his mother's bowl, and said, "Dai is so confused right now. He doesn't know how to deal with himself. I don't know what the young master is doing." Gao Jian?”
After Qiu Yizhi heard this, he thought to himself: Although Marshal Dai is a military general, he is not an incompetent person. He easily and skillfully pushed the problem back to himself.
He was thinking about how to speak, but he heard Dai Song say: "If it goes according to the child's idea, why not just surrender Prince Youyan?"
Dai Luanxiang glanced sideways at his son and asked, "How do you say this?"
Dai Song was a fledgling son, and when he asked his father, he said: "My father was originally loyal to the current emperor, but he ended up being betrayed by the minions of the Guanshan Division. If Mr. Qiu hadn't rescued him with justice, wouldn't he be in trouble? What if? I am a father, why don’t I continue to serve this foolish king?”
Dai Luanxiang finally managed to endure his temper. After listening to his son Dai Song's words, he suddenly slapped the stone table hard and cursed: "Shut up! Where did you learn these rebellious and foolish words?"
Dai Song was scolded by his usually very dignified father for no reason, and he was stunned in place.
But I heard Dai's mother say to Dai Luanxiang: "Shut up! Who said Song'er said nonsense?"
Dai Luanxiang's father had already sacrificed his life for the country, and he had been raised by his mother since he was a child. He loved and feared her at the same time. Therefore, when he heard Dai's mother say this, most of the anger he had just raised was immediately extinguished, and he only lowered his head and murmured. He murmured: "My Dai family has been loyal for generations, how can I just rebel against you?"
Dai's mother also changed her expression to a kind one and said: "Luan Xiang is right. My Dai family has been loyal to the imperial court since the sixth generation. Thanks to the love of several late emperors, my Dai family has been able to flourish for more than a hundred years. The kindness is always there. It’s not that old age is better than the past. I think my son Luan Xiang’s ability is not only better than that of my dead old man, but also much greater than that of my father-in-law.”
When Dai Luanxiang heard his mother commenting on him, how could he sit calmly on the stone pier? He quickly got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said: "Luanxiang is an unworthy descendant of the Dai family. How dare he be compared with several ancestors?"
When Dai Song and Dai Yinping saw this, they also threw down their chopsticks and rice bowls and knelt behind Dai Luanxiang.
Qiu Yizhi and Yuchi Lianghong couldn't sit down peacefully. They also stood up and stood aside, listening quietly to Dai's mother and Dai Luanxiang talking.
Just listen to Dai's mother say: "My son does not need to be too modest. I was originally from a martial arts family, and I have a close relationship with the great hero Yuchi, so I can't help but speak more straightforwardly, but I never lie. With my son's ability, I was looking forward to showing my talents, rejuvenating the country, and displaying my grand plans, so that my Dai family could be more prosperous and shadow future generations. But I met a foolish king like Zheng Yao. This is called destiny change, and no one can fight it. God, how can you go against heaven?"
Dai Luanxiang knelt on the ground and listened to his mother's words, but said: "This is what my mother taught me. But the emperor is always the emperor, and superiority and inferiority are determined by fate. Let alone a mere warrior, even Prince Youyan must not take it lightly. Raise the flag of rebellion..."
"Hmph! What kind of emperor?" Dai's mother sneered, "This little Zheng Yao is just a despicable villain with no king and no father. To occupy the throne for one day is to insult the majesty of my great man!" She said to Qiu Yizhi again He said, "I'm afraid my son still doesn't know about the changes. I would like to ask you to tell me the whole story." (To be continued)
