Chapter 123 The Wounded Soldiers Return to the City
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Apart from teaching students and participating in the management of some colleges, Zhang Ang spends most of his time polishing his martial arts.

Due to the bottleneck of internal strength, he could not make an inch of progress, so he mainly spent his time on moves and light work.Moreover, he found that this sword technique really didn't suit him, and he was really out of his mind when he decided to practice swords.And this kitchen knife is very easy to practice, no matter the Chinese kitchen knife or the other 23 Western-style kitchen knives, he is very handy in using it, and after years of continuous honing in the Xuanwu Hall, his knife skills have been thoroughly and truly He has entered a brand-new realm of "superior perfection", and now every knife he uses is like an arm and finger, as if it is an extension of his own body.

And the training of lightness kung fu also has a definite direction. It is a superb lightness kung fu bought by Dean Bernard with a lot of money. It is called "The Connection between Geometry and Footwork". Light work.Compared with other difficult and obscure martial arts of mathematics and physics, this light skill is more gradual.From point, line, surface, to plane geometry, to solid geometry, to high-dimensional geometry and non-Euclidean geometry, it is a gradual process.The initial training does not require a high degree of mathematics and science, but as the practice deepens, the requirements for mathematics and science will gradually increase. The higher the level of mathematics and science, the stronger the effect will be.

Although Zhang Ang has always been not very good at mathematics, his brain is now much easier to use than before. Some problems that he could not think of even if he tried his head before, can now think of solutions quickly.After cramming dozens of monographs on mathematics and physics in this world, he has practiced this extremely light skill well.Although this light skill does not perfectly meet the requirements of the chefs, it is very precise and fast in moving, maneuvering, and changing directions within a certain range. It is said that it has very magical special effects when practiced to the highest point. Currently Zhang Ang has the strongest lightness kung fu.With his continuous hard work, he also successfully entered the realm of "excellence".

Life in the college is peaceful and fulfilling, but there are still miscellaneous news coming in from the outside world.

Especially the news about the war. After all, the army of Lyon City has been going out for more than half a month, and the parents and elders of many students in the college are in that army.

The news is good or bad, true or false, affecting the hearts of the people in the city:
"Marshal Napoleon's revolutionary army has broken through the siege, and is now marching towards Paris!"

"The royalists have resurged their army and have left Paris and marched south!"

"The coalition forces of the nobles fought hard against the expeditionary forces of the royalist party, and suffered heavy losses."

"The royalist line of defense was breached again, and the revolutionary army and the coalition forces of the nobles advanced another 100 miles to the north."

"Our Lyon city army has been completely merged into the revolutionary army, and is now fighting fiercely with the royalists in Valence."

"The second line of defense was breached again, but we also killed several famous noble knights in the city of Lyon."

"The Revolutionary Army is going strong all the way, pointing at Paris! City owners from all over the country continue to gather under the command of Marshal Napoleon. The Revolutionary Army continues to grow, and the situation is very good."

"The Holy City Vatican issued a circular, only recognizing Emperor Louis of Paris as French orthodoxy, and severely condemning the rebellious acts committed by the revolutionary army."

Although the news is mostly good, most people in Lyon City are still worried before the army returns triumphantly.Even little Susan, who has always been serious about her lectures and concentrating on cooking, often frowns with some sadness and worry.

********************
On this day, both sides of the avenue outside the city of Lyon were already crowded with people, because it was said that a group of wounded soldiers who could not continue fighting and the ashes of the war dead would be brought back today.

Everyone waited anxiously, wanting to see but afraid to see the coming convoy, however, when it was almost noon, the convoy still appeared.

A convoy with a sad atmosphere appeared in everyone's field of vision. The people in the convoy were either wrapped in bandages, missing arms or legs, or lying on stretchers, or packed in pottery urns in the car. They were sparse and difficult. moving forward.

The crowd rushed forward immediately, wanting to find their relatives inside. The wounded soldiers and their families hugged each other and cried, and the families of the dead cried alone holding clay pots. More worrying worries slowly walked home.

Susan also asked the nursing instructor for leave, and went to the gate of the city with her mother to wait for her father, but they didn't wait, whether it was luck or misfortune.

Zhang Ang also knew the news, and he was also a little worried about Albert. After all, he didn't have any special life-saving props at hand, so he couldn't protect his friend. Whether he could survive was entirely up to him.But he didn't go to the city gate to wait, but hurried to the city lord's mansion after class in the afternoon.

"I would like to ask, do you know that Albert? He used to work in the city lord's mansion. He went out with the army last time. I wonder if he has come back this time?" Zhang Ang asked the guard outside the city lord's mansion.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with Sir Albert?" The guard asked instead of answering.

"My name is Tom Cruise. I am a professor at the Michelin Institute and a friend of Albert. We have known each other since we were in Paris." Zhang Ang explained in detail.

"Oh, so it's Master Tom. I've also heard about your deeds. Please wait a minute. I'll go in and ask." The guard suddenly became respectful, turned and walked in.

After waiting for a while, he came out, and said somewhat unnaturally: "Master Albert has already returned, but he was injured, um, he needs to recuperate, and said that he does not want to see you for the time being."

"Oh, is he injured? Internal or external? Is the injury serious?" Zhang Ang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked.

"This, this..." The guard seemed a little hesitant.

"Forget it, you'd better take me in and let me meet him. I have a lot of good medicine on hand for both internal and external injuries. It must be of some use." Zhang Ang looked at him hesitant to speak. Appearance, said impatiently.

"Master Tom, this, this is not good, Mr. Albert, he said he will recover from his injury, this." The guard still seemed very hesitant.

"It's okay, I have a good relationship with Albert, and he won't blame you. Don't hesitate, lead the way." Zhang Ang ignored him and directed.

In desperation, the guard brought Zhang Ang outside Albert's room: "Lord Albert, Master Tom insisted on seeing you, and I have already brought him here."

"No! Don't let him come! Let him out! Get out! Get out of here! I don't want to see anyone now!" Albert's voice was very sharp, and he looked desperate.

Zhang Ang didn't understand why Albert, who was always confident, fearless, optimistic and cheerful, was so excited. Could it be that he was injured and disabled, and lost hope for the future?
After hesitating for a while, he still stepped forward and pushed open the door of the room.

Albert was lying on the bed. His limbs looked intact, and his facial features were not damaged in any way, but his lower body was wrapped in layers of white bandages.

He was full of anger, looking at Zhang Ang furiously.
