Martial arts talent system

Chapter 145

Li Jianxin turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously, and said with a surprised look: "I, Li Jianxin, have met King Ning."

King Ning smiled generously, patted Li Jianxin on the shoulder and said, "Young talent like Li Shaoxia doesn't need to be so cautious. Come on, let's go to my palace. Let's have a chat." King Ning went to Ning Walking inside the gate of the palace, Li Jianxin hurriedly followed, behind him were Steward Zhang and several guards of King Ning.

As soon as he entered Prince Ning's mansion, there were servants to greet him. The leader was an old man, but he was also a top-notch master. He was stronger than Steward Zhang, but his strength was limited.The old man looked at King Ning, bowed slightly and said, "My lord, you are back."

King Ning raised his hand, and two maids took off King Ning's cloak.King Ning said with a smile: "Old Sun, prepare some drinks and send them to my study. I want to chat with this young man Li."

"Yes." The old man replied, and led a group of servants to retreat.King Ning looked at Li Jianxin who was looking left and right, and said with a smile: "Li Shaoxia, how is this king's palace?"

"Naturally, he has an extraordinary bearing, but Li can't see anything else other than seeing this." Li Jianxin said with a simple and honest look.

When King Ning heard this, he let out a hearty laugh, pointed to the flowers and plants in the yard and said, "Sure enough, Li Shaoxia is very different from those old fritter-like diners, but he hasn't caught up with the sleek atmosphere of Jianghu."

"Prince Ning, you are wrong. Mr. Li has very little knowledge. He can only see the splendid atmosphere of this residence. It is really impossible for me to say one, two, three. A virtuous person like the prince Even if a person lives in a humble room, he will have such a splendid atmosphere, this palace is just the icing on the cake for the prince." Li Jianxin said as he handed a few high hats to King Ning.

King Ning stroked the short beard on his chin, with a satisfied look on his face, he pulled Li Jianxin and said something, and the two of them gradually came to the study of Prince Ning's mansion.

King Ning opened the door of the study, and Li Jianxin walked in immediately, smelling a faint scent of incense, and instantly calmed down.

"What kind of incense is this, but it has such a miraculous effect of reassuring the mind?" Li Jianxin looked at King Ning and asked.

"It's just that the emperor gifted it casually, and it's not a rare thing. Li Shaoxia, come and sit down and talk, we should talk about ourselves." King Ning said and led Li Jianxin to sit down.

Li Jianxin got on the couch, sat cross-legged, looked around King Ning's study, looked at the dazzling array of books and said casually: "Prince Ning is quite studious."

"As the saying goes, 'There is a house of gold in a book, and there is beauty in a book'. If an idle and foolish person like this king does not read some idle books, I am afraid that these days will be hard to pass." Ning Wang looked at Li Jianxin and smiled. Said.

Li Jianxin was thinking about how to start the conversation, but once King Ning answered the conversation, it became much easier later.So Li Jianxin said with a smile: "Prince Ning, you are joking, only people like you who don't regard reading as reading can be able to read and learn something.

A martial artist like me is interested in some books of martial arts secrets, but he doesn't read these books at all, but he usually can't fall asleep, but he picks up a book and falls asleep after a while. "

"Li Shaoxia is too contemptuous of himself. After all, there are few people in the world who are capable of both civil and martial arts. There are very few people like Li Shaoxia who can walk their own way in martial arts. Li Shaoxia has surpassed many ordinary people in his journey of martial arts. Why are you so self-deprecating?"

"That's not what I mean, I just admire King Ning for being so diligent. There are many poor scholars in the world, but there are far fewer people who are as noble, sensitive and studious as the prince. Instead, I threw all these good habits to the back of my head, and all of them became a generation of vegetarians, completely forgetting the original vision. The truth of these sage books has been completely thrown to the back of my mind."

King Ning heard Li Jianxin's words, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said seriously: "I have a lot of dissatisfaction with this court after listening to Li Shaoxia's words!"

"It's not just dissatisfaction?" Li Jianxin raised his thick eyebrows as he spoke, and expressed his dissatisfaction: "King Ning, look at how many people in this world are naked. The heavy snow fell today. I don’t know how many people will freeze to death inside and outside the capital. If those corrupt officials had a little understanding of the principles in this book, they wouldn’t be in such dire straits.”

King Ning sighed, and said: "Although what Li Shaoxia said is impassioned, it is indeed serious. Li Shaoxia has not been a speaker in the court, but he has some prejudices, so it's okay to say it. Forget it, let's not say it." That's it, come on, let's drink." King Ning picked up the jug with his own hands and poured a glass of wine for Li Jianxin first.

The amber-like wine exudes an intoxicating light under the candlelight. "Good wine." Li Jianxin picked up the wine glass and put it to the tip of his nose and took a sip.

"Of course it's good wine. It's my imperial brother's favorite. It's called 'Pear Blossom Brew'. I won a small jar of chess from the last time I played chess with the imperial brother." King Ning said, holding up the wine glass. said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness." Li Jianxin said, holding up the wine glass with both hands, and lightly touched King Ning's wine glass respectfully.

King Ning put the wine glass to his mouth, looked at Li Jianxin and said with a smile: "Why is Li Shaoxia so polite? I always like you guys from the martial arts world, but I am much happier than those sour literati. We don't need to share anything today. Noble, but just drink."

"Then I would like to thank you, my lord. I will do it first as a respect." Li Jianxin said as he put the wine glass to his mouth and drank it.As soon as a glass of wine fell into his throat, Li Jianxin felt himself shaken, and the listlessness caused by the internal injury was relieved a little at this moment. "This wine is really powerful. It's quite different from the wines I've had before."

"Oh, Li Shaoxia is also a wine lover?" King Ning poured another glass of wine for Li Jianxin as he spoke.

"Naturally, it's hard for a person in the world like me to put my love on Fengyue. I'm used to fighting and killing, so I can only drink to relieve my complaints."

"Aren't Li Shaoxia's words quite unusual? It's not something ordinary people can say."

"That's right, I, Li Jianxin, am a second-rate person." Li Jianxin said with a smile, and put another cup of 'Pear Blossom Brew' to his mouth and drank it down.

"Just now Li Shaoxia said that he once drank some wine that was comparable to this 'Pear Blossom Brew'. This king is also a good wine person, but I want to hear about the wonders of those wines from Li Shaoxia's mouth."

Li Jianxin made a slight move, picked up the jug and poured himself a glass, then walked to the bed with the wine glass, paced in the study and said: "Although this 'Pear Blossom Brew' is wine, its nourishing effect is worse than the taste in this wine. Although it is very sweet, it still lacks some aftertaste. But it is not as hearty as drunk for three years."

"Oh, from Li Shaoxia's words, does Li Shaoxia like strong alcohol?" King Ning leaned against the wall slightly, looked at Li Jianxin with his eyes slightly closed and said with a smile.

"Wine is the essence of the five grains and the rhyme of the five elements. It is born in soil, grows in wood, melts in fire, melts in water, and flourishes in gold. Among them, the two gases of water and fire are the strongest. Its shape is like water, and its nature is like fire. Ordinary drinkers only get the fire, good drinkers get the water, few drinkers can understand the five rhymes in this wine. Poor wine is aggressive, especially can burn the throat, many drinkers are in bitter cold, just because the wine can warm Heart. Ordinary water and wine, the taste is very thin, and most of the drinkers are literati and poets, because the wine is strong and creative." Li Jianxin said and stopped talking.

"What about the rest of the wine?" Hearing Li Jianxin's remarks, King Ning was surprised and asked immediately.

"Each kind of wine has its own environment, whether you drink it alone or in a group. What you drink while drinking is not only the wine, but also the bitterness and bitterness of both parties. This wine is an innate thing, but it has fallen into the mortal world. , it is somewhat tainted with popularity, but it is a lot turbid. But after this turbidity, there are many differences, and there are many differences in the taste of it. Sad people seek to get drunk, happy people revel, and those who drink alone Self-pity, alcoholics seeking to get drunk, everyone is drinking their yesterday’s selves, and this wine is eternity in this world for them at that moment. This is the charm of wine.”

"Listening to Li Shaoxia's words really opened my eyes. Li Shaoxia is really extraordinary. Those words before were too modest. I just don't know which kind of drinker Li Shaoxia is mentioned above."

"Me?" Li Jianxin asked, pointing to the tip of her nose.

"Well, it's you." King Ning nodded and said.

"I'm from the rivers and lakes, so I'm not picky, just drink what I have." Li Jianxin said with a smile.

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, Li Shaoxia is very interesting." King Ning laughed loudly as he spoke.

"I, Li Jianxin, would like to ask King Ning for a glass of wine, and ask King Ning to take me in as a guest." Li Jianxin half-knelt down as he spoke, clasping his fists and clasping his hands.

King Ning quickly got up from the collapse, walked up to Li Jianxin, held Li Jianxin by the arm and said, "What can Li Shaoxia say?"

Li Jianxin just knelt on the ground and refused to get up. He just said: "Ning Wang Mingjian, I was persecuted by Cao Zhengxiu, and now I have a home and dare not go back. I also ask Ning Wang to take him in. If the prince does not agree, Li I can no longer kneel down."

"Hey, what did Li Shaoxia say? I'm too happy for a knight-errant like you to join me. That can keep you out. Li Shaoxia please hurry up, and the king will agree." King Ning As he spoke, he took Li Jianxin's arm and tugged twice, then Li Jianxin struggled to stand up, bowed slightly to King Ning and said, "Li Jianxin, a grassroots man, thank you King Ning for taking care of me."

However, King Ning waved his hands and said: "They are all from my own family, so how can I say whether to take them in or not. Come, please take a seat, but drink."

Li Jianxin also knew that there was no rush to be a spy, so he went to the couch to drink with King Ning, and chatted about things.

After drinking for three rounds, King Ning was a little drunk, and asked Li Jianxin casually with drunken eyes: "Li Shaoxia, I heard that you still have some relationship with Cao Zhengxiu's adopted daughter, so why did you fall out with Cao Zhengxiu so well? "

"Hey, it's a long story." Li Jianxin said with a long sigh: "I was childhood sweetheart with Cao Zhengxiu's adopted daughter, but they got separated later, and then I found out that she has become Cao Zhengxiu's adopted daughter. Hey , Ning Wang, you may really not know how complicated my heart was when I saw her. Later, it was time for us to talk about marriage. When we met Cao Zhengxiu, we were not embarrassed or awkward. Until today, This Cao Zhengxiu forced me to join Dongchang, but how can a person like me with a clean family join Dongchang, but join forces with those eunuchs? So I rejected Cao Zhengxiu, Cao Zhengxiu was outraged, so he slapped me on my chest." Li Jianxin said as she lifted off her clothes, revealing the palm prints stuck on her body.Li Jianxin is conceited that what he said is [-]% true and [-]% false. If he is not the person involved, he must have believed the rhetoric. Even if King Ning did not believe it [-]% of the time, he would think that he came here to take advantage of the shade of the tree .

King Ning said with a long sigh and said: "It is because there are too many people who specialize in Cao Zhengxiu in the world, which makes it impossible for young talents like Li Shaoxia to serve the country." King Ning said a beautiful and irrelevant sentence, Then someone said to Li Jianxin: "If Li Shaoxia doesn't dislike it, he can stay in my Prince Ning's mansion for a few days." After speaking, King Ning took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, handed it to Li Jianxin and said, "This is Shennonggu's 'Qingyun Powder' is a first-class healing medicine. Li Shaoxia, you should use it first, it's not good to keep this internal injury on your body."

Li Jianxin took the bottle with both hands, hid the bottle in the lining, and thanked King Ning: "Thank you King Ning for your kindness."

King Ning raised his hand as he spoke, signaling that Li Jianxin was being too polite. "Come on, I'll arrange a place for you first." Then he got up, went outside the study and said to a servant, "Call Lao Zhang here." The servant responded and went to look for Butler Zhang. After a while, he led Butler Zhang over.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" Steward Zhang bowed slightly.

"Arrange a Class A room for Li Shaoxia." King Ning said with a smile, and then explained like Li Jianxin: "This Class A room is the best among my guest rooms. Don't dislike Li Shaoxia."

"Thanks to the lord's love." Li Jianxin cupped his hands slightly and said.

"Li Shaoxia, please." After Zhang Guanshi said, he made a gesture of invitation, and then turned around to lead the way to Li Jianxin, but there was a funny smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Jianxin followed Butler Zhang through a long corridor, and then reached the deepest part of the outer courtyard, where there were a bunch of guest rooms.Butler Zhang pointed to one of the guest rooms and said, "Young Xia Jianxin, this room is just free, so you can stay here first." Li Jianxin was about to open the door, but a voice came from behind: "Butler Zhang, aren't you Promise me, this room will be allocated to me this month?"
