different paths

It's a pity that the speaker didn't know that the person they named and abused was sitting not far away, and he continued to talk.

"You guys don't know, it's fine to offend Zhuxian Villa, but this time, Yan Qixiang has offended the court and made a big mess!"

"how do I say this?"

"Among the palace musicians, there are always a few from Zhuxian Villa. I heard that Zhuxian Villa became famous because it was loved by the royal family of the previous dynasty. Although the dynasty changed later, it was still highly regarded by the Yili Bureau. Not only has several musicians from Zhuxian Villa been promoted, but before the big festival, people will be specially sent to invite Qu Zequan to go to the capital to guide. This honor is even greater than in the past."

"It's not a day or two since Zhu Xian Villa has been in close contact with the imperial court. If this incident doesn't happen, I'm afraid Zhu Xian Villa will become a relative of the emperor in a few days."

"Oh? Could it be that Qu Zequan married the royal family?"

"Shhh, keep your voice down. I also heard from hearsay that Qu Hongxiao had betrothed to the eldest prince a long time ago, and now that he is approaching the age, he started to make preparations. I didn't expect that the kid Dubu Xunhua would step in. The marriage is sure." It's also yellow. Although the crown prince has not yet been established, the eldest prince has the potential to be the crown prince, and this hatred of taking his wife may be how to retaliate."

"I don't think so. Although Zhuxian Villa has a great reputation, it is from the Jianghu after all. Even if it is married to the First Prince, it will not be a real wife. The First Prince probably won't take an unmarried concubine to heart. "

"You only know one thing and don't know the other. It is said that although Qu Hongxiao was promised to be the eldest prince's side concubine, there is no official concubine in the palace. Qu Hongxiao is young and beautiful. , the matter of rectifying the righteousness is not at hand. Besides, the position of the side concubine was personally requested by the eldest prince, and he probably had these plans in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly. From this, it can be seen that Qu Hongxiao was really let go by the eldest prince. In my heart."

"Hearing what you said, isn't Yan Qixiang doomed to die?"

"He's not the only one! You said that this Yan Qixiang was not good at picking any flowers. He must have picked Qu Hongxiao. If you want to pick them, pick them. He even wears a weird mask. I heard that the eldest prince was furious and had already started to pick flowers." Check out the craftsmen who can make that kind of mask, as long as they have anything to do with that craft, they will all be imprisoned, and many craftsmen in the Heluo area have already been imprisoned by this..."

The speaker smacked his palm on the front of his neck, causing a sound of gasping for air.

"Is this eldest prince going to kill all these craftsmen!"

"I'm afraid that's the case..."

Just when everyone was sighing sadly, there was a burst of singing not far away, the sound was like a bell ringing in an ancient temple, resounding in the ear, showing the pinnacle of internal skills——

"Heaven and earth are one dynasty, ten thousand periods are a moment, the sun and the moon are a tangle, and the eight wastelands are a courtyard."

Everyone followed the singing and saw a skinny old man sitting beside the steaming iron pot, with a dove head and muddy feet, a worn hat askew, a tattered broom on his back, and a dirty wooden bowl in front of him.Noticing the eyes of everyone, his singing stopped abruptly, and he put one hand under the creaking nest, scratching it wholeheartedly.Everyone withdrew their gazes, thinking that the singing sound like a flowing spring in a deep mountain just now was just an illusion.

From the time the old man sang, Jia Wujue noticed him. It was the old man who was waiting for the wine in front of Wangchao Building.

"It's him—" Jia Wujue blurted out.

"Why, do you know him?" Yan Qixiang glanced at him casually, and then suddenly said, "So it's the old man you gave wine to."

Yue Chentan's eyes fell on the side face of the old man, as if recalling something from the past, his brows were slightly frowned, and he did not calm down for a long time.

"I thought it was some expert, but it turned out to be a stinky beggar." Someone sneered. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, a group of people who were eating silently in the shop suddenly got up, and the leader was a middle-aged man who was neat and handsome, Holding an eyebrow-level stick in his hand, he nodded towards the young people beside him.

Those young people didn't say much, they went straight to the man's table, and without waiting for his reaction, they overturned the table.

"What are you doing!" The man who sneered suddenly changed color, and stood up with a hatchet in his hand.

"Since this brother looks down on beggars, I naturally have to ask for advice. Compared with beggars, what is so clever about you?" The middle-aged man looked at the man and said calmly.

When the man heard this, his face turned pale: "You, you guys, belong to the Beggar Gang?"

"Brother, seeing that you are young, I am afraid that you are not deeply involved in the world. I don't know that the Beggar Clan is divided into two factions." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Not all disciples of the Beggar Clan are like Dirty clothes pie is so filthy and stinky."

The person who was traveling with that person was originally watching from the sidelines. Seeing what the middle-aged man said, he hurriedly reported his family and said: "I am a disciple of the sub-helm of the Bahuai Sect. If you have offended me, I hope the elders will forgive me."

His courteous attitude pleased the middle-aged man just right, and the middle-aged man winked at several disciples around the table, and one of them said, "It's not that we, Elder Yuan, are kind. If it were someone else, you wouldn't be so kind." Take it easy and you'll be fine."

Ba Huai helped a group of disciples hurriedly responded: "Exactly, Elder Yuan has an extraordinary bearing, no one else can compare to it."

The elder of the Beggar Clan surnamed Yuan smiled and said: "Don't dare, you are absurd."

Ba Huai gang disciples saw that the other party seemed to like this, so they kept complimenting him, wishing they could lift him up to the sky.But the disciples of the beggar gang who accompanied him felt that it was not enough, and said: "Let's not talk about it, if those high-minded and powerful Shaolin Wudangs encountered this matter today, they would definitely not forget it like this."

As soon as he quoted it like this, the members of the Bahuai Gang naturally wanted to continue the conversation——

"Yes, how can Elder Yuan's demeanor be compared to those old bull noses in Shaolin Wudang?"

"I think this Shaolin Wudang is just a vain name. Apart from other things, the Shaolin Four King Kongs are amazing. Anyway, I have never seen their abilities."

"That's right, one or two of them are not involved in the rivers and lakes, and they practice hard in closed doors. If they say so, I'm afraid they're afraid of making a move. Haha, I don't think they should be called the Four Great King Kongs anymore, they can be called the Four Great Kings in closed doors."

After saying this, there was a lot of laughter, Elder Yuan showed a smug look on his face, but he still pretended to be modest and said: "Don't dare, how dare Yuan Mou dare to be compared with the Four Great King Kongs of Shaolin."

"Of course you dare not."

A cold voice came from the corner, and Yue Chentan uttered it suddenly, even Jia Wuchai didn't expect it.If it was in the past, the other party would never have such a reaction.But at this time, Yue Chentan had no dust in his eyes, with an undisguised aloofness, naturally he had no humility and tolerance at all.

Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, Jia Wujue wanted to stop him, but it was too late. As soon as Yue Chentan said this, the elder surnamed Yuan smiled and said: "Oh? Your Excellency What advice?"

"he--"

Jia Wujue just wanted to say a few words for him, but Yue Chentan didn't say a word, and with a movement of his body, he charged at Elder Yuan like an electric shock.Seeing this, Jia Wujuan could only sigh helplessly, feeling that my son was too rebellious to discipline.

When Elder Yuan saw that Yue Chentan was about to strike at the slightest disagreement, he was naturally enraged. With a low drink, the seven or eight Beggar Sect disciples who accompanied him immediately surrounded Yue Chentan.Seeing this, many customers in the shop threw down their food money and left, but the old man who had just sang was unaware of the chaos in front of him, and was still catching lice in the sun on his own.

Several Bahuai Sect disciples huddled in a corner, seeing Yue Chentan surrounded by Beggar Sect disciples, they wanted to take the opportunity to escape.I never thought that as soon as I took a step, I heard a sneer from behind. The contempt and disdain in the laughter made these people feel cold all over.Several people raised their legs in a panic and wanted to run, but there was a sharp pain in their backs. The three major acupoints of Dazhui, Shendao and Xuanshu were hit by a few bodhi seeds. With a few "plops", these people fell down in response, their eyes blinked, their breathing was healthy, but they could no longer control their bodies.

Seeing that Yue Chentan was surrounded by him, yet he was able to free up his hands to deal with the members of the Bahuai Gang, Elder Yuan couldn't help but panicked, and felt a bit withdrawn.But seeing Yue Chentan was young and fighting alone, he suddenly felt that he had a good chance of winning, so he was sure, and commanded: "What are you still dawdling about, why don't you deal with him quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, a few screams were heard, several Beggar Clan disciples were swept to the ground by Yue Chentan like fallen leaves.They were lying on the ground with bruised noses and swollen faces, panting heavily with their mouths wide open, their fine clothes were torn into pieces by the strong wind, their buns and dust scattered on the ground, they were in a state of embarrassment.Looking at Yue Chentan again, he stood in the center calmly with his hands behind his back, and condescendingly glanced at the people on the ground, as if he was looking at dying ants.

"Good boy, Yuan Mou wants to learn and learn, what kind of skills do you have!"

Elder Yuan shouted violently, and swiped at Yue Chentan's head with an eyebrow-level stick.He was able to sit on the position of elder, of course not because of flattery and flattery, but because of some real skills.A set of chopping wind stick technique, although it is not the pinnacle stick technique in the Beggar Clan, it can be regarded as a breakthrough.He was full of anger at the moment, and there was a lot of hostility in the stick technique, the momentum was overwhelming and should not be underestimated.

Facing his mighty blow, Yue Chentan dodged back lightly, and avoided even putting his hands down.Elder Yuan was short-tempered, and with the whistling sound of the eyebrow stick, he lowered the stick three times in a row, and he rushed straight forward without retreating or turning.This time, Yue Chentan did not avoid it, seeing the head of the stick hit his eyes, his sleeve moved slightly, and a bodhi seed flew out with a "swish", only a "Dang", the bodhi seed hit the stick, It made a clanging sound that only metal and stone strike together.Elder Yuan only felt a huge force coming up from the bottom, he slipped his hand, and the eyebrow-level stick flew out of his hand, and plunged into the yellow ground with a "poof".

All this happened in a blink of an eye, Elder Yuan looked at the empty palm in disbelief, and couldn't believe that the young boy in front of him knocked away his most convenient weapon with just a small wooden ball.What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that the opponent seemed to disdain to use every move, and just sending him a single wooden bead would put him in a situation where he could not fight back.

Elder Yuan, who had always claimed to be good at martial arts, had a pale complexion, looking at the ironic young man in front of him, he really couldn't guess who the other party was.
