Minister

49【Six Years of Jiankang】

To go or not to go?Wei Chi gnawed on the penholder.go?Invite people to gossip, don't you go?My heart was very depressed again - it's not that I didn't work hard!It's just that progress is almost nonexistent.Could it be that there is something wrong with practicing like this?Or... have a problem?

Thinking of this, Wei Chi put his pen down with a 'snap'!How can I have a problem?

"My lord, is this going to take a nap?" Chen Hu helped Wei Chi put down the curtain. It was already past the time for a nap. Today's Master Wei is very strange. He either sighed or was in a daze. He just woke up and went to take a nap...

"Hey..." Wei Chi winked his eyebrows and pretended to be pitiful: "I'm dizzy, maybe it's because I've been cold a few days ago... I'll sleep for a while, and after a while, Populus euphratica will come to me to practice guns and report my illness. I will personally ask him to make amends tomorrow. "

After all, Wei Chi moaned and buried himself under the blanket.It was already quite hot. In order to pretend to be sick, Wei Chi tightened the corner of the quilt without hesitation and wrapped it around his neck: "Chen Hu, you can do what you want. I just took the medicine, and I'll be fine after a short sleep." .”

After Chen Hu closed the door and went out, Wei Chi kicked off the quilt and lay on his back, looking at the intricately patterned curtain above his head, feeling indignant at what happened to him.If an inch moth stops on the top of the curtain, it will definitely be able to 'see' an overturned 'big eight' lying on the bed.Dawang stood up for a while, then heard Chen Hu seem to open the door and go out, and after a while, heard the sound of the door closing again.Populus euphratica has left?Out of a natural fear of the 'teacher', Wang Ba secretly turned over and shrank to the corner of the door to eavesdrop.

When the sounds from outside were far away, Wei Chi changed his clothes secretly and slipped out: "Chen Hu, I'm going out for a while."

Chen Hu was taken aback by Wei Chi's sudden slap. Looking back, Mr. Wei, who was still sick just now, looked well-dressed and energetic at the moment: "Oh..." Chen Hu couldn't figure it out, so he nodded.

Wei Chi took his nine-curved gun, carried it on his back, and sneaked out from the backyard.

"Where is Master Wei going?" The soldier looking at the back door greeted Wei Chi.

"Hehe, go find General Du." Wei Chi pointed to the long cloth bag on his back.

Master Wei is really diligent!The soldier sighed with emotion, took the key and opened the door for Wei Chi, looking at Wei Chi's back, he was a little worried for him: Although Lord Wei has studied with Mr. Hu Qian for a long time, ahem, how could he be General Du's opponent?This time, I will definitely be beaten very badly...very badly.

Wei Chi went into the stable and led the leopard out.Because this guy couldn't tell the north, south, east, and west all the time, he rode his horse and ran towards the city wall, and walked a long way before leaving the east gate.In fact, Wei Chi was a little worried, that girl is a master of what she says, and it is impossible to break the appointment, but... she only said outside the east gate, which is so big!Where can I find it?

Passing through the red brick city gate, there is nothing eye-catching outside the city except for the vendors resting in various places.Once out of the city, it is rare to see any decent houses. There are some folk houses on the green plain, some sell some dry food, some sell some fodder, and there are also a few hotels like thatched huts.Dadu, which was built by the former Monan King for decades, is just like this. No wonder Saul Hahan is dejected every time he mentions it.

Wei Chi walked out of the city along the small path, and the more he walked, the more worried he became. Although he could not tell his identity in this Han Chinese dress, this time was not suitable!Many horse teams looked at him, if something unexpected happened suddenly...how would he deal with it?At this moment, this person has completely forgotten how majestic and eye-catching the murder weapon on his back is...

Where are you going?Confused for a while, Wei slapped his forehead, smiled, and rode towards a small hotel.I asked several families in a row, and as expected, the little girl of the Lord Shang was nestling in one of the houses, kowtowing beef and watercress.

Pooh!Seeing that Wei Chi picked up a blanket and walked in, Xianggnaji quickly wiped his mouth: "...Ah! Are you here?"

Wei Chi nodded solemnly: "Master Shang..."

Xianggnaji raised a finger and put it on his lips: "Don't say that! There are merchants here! Some of them understand Chinese." After finishing speaking, he lost his drink money and dragged Wei Chi out.

Wei Chi didn't want to ask too many questions, so he could only let her drag him onto the horse and run for several miles in one go.

This is a small hill, with some poplar forests beside it, poking straight there.Xiangganaji got off his horse and tied it to a tree at random: "How do you ride the adjutant's horse?"

Wei Chi untied the leopard's reins: "This...is mine in the first place."

Xiangganaji choked, and he was full of apologies to the horse with the 'horizontal eyebrow': "Oh... so, it's nothing...it's nothing."

The leopard ran around Wei Chi, knowing that he had nothing to do, so he slipped aside to look for purslane to eat.Wei Chi gathered up the reins, took off the gun on his back, loosened the cloth cover, and stuck it on the ground.Xiangganaji is wearing a female equestrian outfit today, her hair is tied up high, and she is in high spirits.Seeing that Wei Chi brought his own weapon, he stepped forward to look it up curiously.

"I didn't expect...it's a long weapon!" Xianggnaji squeezed his chin and pondered, Wei Chi is not tall, and his arm strength is not good, so why did he choose a gun for practice?It is said that he is leading cavalry, but the weapons also depend on the person. Others use them well, but they may not be suitable for themselves.With Wei Chi's stature, it might be better to use a long sword.

"Isn't it suitable?" Wei Chi felt more and more that Xiangnaji was an expert: "I have a friend who is one of the best in the Qi army. At that time he also said that I was not suitable. Hehe, but there is no way. Remember That Mr. Hu Qian who had a dispute with you? He is the only one around me who has time to teach me, and this gun is his old profession, and he is also busy. I really don’t want him to teach me other things.”

"Remember, remember" how could Xiangganaji not remember?That guy who doesn't smile and pulls his face!It turned out to be his family weapon.snort!It's a weird gun, I don't think it's good: "Do you know how to use it?"

Have you learned it for half a year, why can't you use it?But Wei Chi was really embarrassed to say that, and he was embarrassed: "Reluctantly."

"Take a look." Xianggnaji gestured.

Wei Chi wanted to shirk, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but want to know what was wrong with him. Since no one else was watching, why not...'Don't be ashamed to ask'.

"...Okay, don't laugh at me." Wei Chi clasped his fist, stretched his posture, and started dancing.

To be honest, if Hu Yanglin's father met Wei Chi, he might like it!The most annoying thing about marksmanship is the complicated moves. It took a child like Xiao Hu three years to learn all the moves and dances. Wei Chi was able to practice from beginning to end without any mistakes in only half a year. The old man saw him and didn't know what to do. gratified.

Wei Chi didn't dare to be negligent, and he didn't dare to make up his own mind to choose good or bad dancers.Since it is a matter of truth-seeking, we might as well dance from the beginning to the end honestly.Uncharacteristically, Xiangganaji did not intervene, but just stood aside and watched carefully.After about half an hour, Wei Chi finally finished the full set of Kung Fu rehearsal: "It's over."

"Oh!" Shingnaji scratched his head, showing a embarrassed look: "The problem is quite big!"

The gun in Wei Chi's hand almost slipped out. You must know that you dare not boast about anything else, but just talk about this posture!That was approved by Master Hu!Where is the problem?It's quite big!

Xianggnaji gestured, not knowing how to say it: "Dance well... how to say..." After thinking about it, he really didn't know what to say, and suddenly he had an idea, picked up a small stone and held it in his hand: "You Look, I throw it, you shoot it with a gun."

After finishing speaking, he dropped his hand and threw the small stone at Wei Chi. Wei Chi was still in a daze, and hit his arm with a slap.

"Look good! I'll throw it again!" There were many small stones on the hill, and Xiangganaji picked up a handful and began to throw them.

Wei Chi concentrated his energy and swung his gun to block the rocks with all his heart. Unfortunately, his posture was ridiculous, and he couldn't block any of them.

"Look good!" Xianggnaji finished throwing the stones in his hand, picked up another handful, handed them to Wei Chi, and took the Jiuqu Spear from Wei Chi's hand by the way: "You smash it!"

Wei Chi seemed to understand the meaning, took the stone and started throwing it.I saw that although Xianggnaji was short, holding the gun was like a part of her body. No matter where she threw it, she could easily block it.There were twenty or thirty stones in a handful, but none of them could hit her.

Xianggnaji finished the performance, and returned the gun to Wei Chi: "Don't worry, come again." After that, he took the stone and started tossing it. This time, it was different from the last time. bigger ones.After some trials, Wei Chi blocked three or five.

Xiangganaji clapped the soil on his hands and gestured: "Do you understand? You are good at spear dancing, but you don't want to be able to shoot. Although I haven't learned it, I want to shoot in my heart. I have a goal and I am much better than you. .Guns, swords, axes, and hammers are all the same, and the moves are only useful if you know where to hit them."

Wei Chi threw the small stone in his hand, recalling what Du Ran said. 'Flower boxing embroidered legs'?In the past, I always thought that it was because I was not strong enough that I was rated as a beautiful fist and embroidered legs, but I didn't expect that it didn't mean that.The moves that Hu Yanglin gave him were correct, but he made the mistake of memorizing them by rote. He just cared about how to round the gun, but he forgot about the gun. Reduced to 'Handan toddler'.

I have stayed in the academy since I was a child, and there is almost nothing to fight.Regarding the matter of fighting, he lacks some common sense that everyone else has.This martial art is profound and mysterious, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is actually a fight that relies on life.If you forget the most fundamental thing, no wonder you will be said to be 'quite problematic'.

Seeing Wei Chi frowning and thinking alone, Xianggenaji felt that this person was not stupid: "Usually martial arts practitioners are always eager for success, and want to use every move, and they can master the moves with composure. Not much. When they see your moves are so pure, they naturally like them, but they just forgot what you lack."

It turned out that Populus euphratica's compliment was not a compliment, and there was a reason for urging him to strengthen his physical strength.

"If you want to use it, how can it be an easy thing?" Wei Chi explained in detail how Du Yun 'chased' him: "I didn't expect him to take great pains, but unfortunately I didn't realize it."

Xiangganaji laughed loudly after hearing these funny things: "It's okay! My master taught me a method, and I will teach you."

Xiangganaji picked up a twig and held it in his hand: "I lost my gun, look after it! Let's shoot!"

Wei Chi stood up, punched him, and hit the branch with his fist.

"Fight again!"

Wei Chi punched again. This time, Xianggnaji flicked his hand and missed.Wei Chi hurriedly made up for it, and then he called.After doing this several times, Wei Chi became more proficient.

"Remember, the opponent is it. No matter what you have in your hand or what you have learned, it is the only one you have to fight."

Wei Chi nodded: "I'm starting to understand a little bit. Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. I can also understand the meaning of four or two. If you really want to fight, you can hit wherever you want, and you can block wherever you want. If you can block where you can go, plus you know where you can fight, where you can't fight, where you can block it, and where you can't block it, isn't it invincible in the world?"

Xiangganaji nodded: "Sanshou is like this, how many weapons are there? Those who can be proficient are limited, and those who are not proficient can also be used because of this. No weapons are in hand, and you can win with bare hands. That's what you said, wait for you If you know where to fight and where to block, it’s just a matter of four or two.”

After finishing speaking, Xiangnaji tapped Wei Chi on the head with a branch: "Wei Chi! This is easy to say! It will take a long time to practice! Don't just think about it! Do you know how to practice?"

Wei Chi was taken aback for a moment. Indeed, the truth is clear, but how to practice it?

Seeing Wei Chi shaking his head foolishly, Xiangnaji covered his mouth and smiled, thinking that this person was getting more and more interesting: "Let me tell you a way!" After finishing speaking, he picked up a twig in his hand: "Let it go, kick or hit him!" Practice every day. When every move can hit, throw stones, stones, sandbags. Got it?"

Wei Chi was tired from hearing it, but he understood what he meant. He was going to ask Du Ran someday, and when he got it clear, he would try it with Populus euphratica.

"Hmm..." The little girl rubbed her hands and smiled mischievously, "Thank you?"

Seeing the smug look on the young master's face, Wei Chi also smiled: "How can I thank you?"

"You have to thank me well!"

Wei Chi solved the doubts in his heart and was full of joy.The impetuous temper of the past two days made her forget one person, that person was already on the way back to the capital at this moment, and that person was Shen Yang, the Commander of Jin Yiwei.

Mr. Shen is a first-rank official, and no one would come to Monan in person for any important mission.Wang Yunyi guessed that he came to ask the emperor to find out.Although the emperor personally approved the plan before dispatching troops, the emperor didn't see how relieved he was of his old in-laws, and it was necessary to send a trusted aide to inspect and beat him.But Wang Yunyi also forgot one thing, this kind of high-ranking official will never only do one thing when he travels far away.Speaking of other tasks, since he was born in Jinyiwei, it is not difficult to guess the direction of his actions.

A supervisor of the rear army has been sent to Jianjun Station to consolidate the city defense since entering the city.This is a good job, especially when facing a large area of ​​the city wall in the west of the city that is in urgent need of repair.The supervisor often has the opportunity to meet some merchants in Monan and the small capitals in the city-after all, this is a tower in Monan, and it is not worth spending a lot of money to repair it. It was the supervisor who 'discussed with the merchants in Monan and the small capitals'.

The merchants and Xiao Dusi didn't have a bad impression of this military supervisor—although he was fierce and serious, he wasn't too easy to talk about in private.So everyone affectionately omitted his official name and called him 'Lord Lu' directly.

Master Lu, Lu Shengduo.

It is really difficult for this small middle-aged officer to attract Shen Yang's attention. At this moment, Shen Yang is full of confidence looking forward to the great achievement he has made this time, imagining how beautiful and plump the big fish in his net can be. Until the emperor can hand over all the command power of Jin Yiwei to himself.

"Are those things done?" Shen Yang asked Tan Youzhi while resting on the way back.

Tan Youzhi nodded: "It's just that that person is not sure that he belongs to him. If he makes a mistake, will the emperor blame him?"

"...Will the Tai Tuo blame me?"

"He is not a student of the Taifu, the younger brother checked it carefully."

"Hey! The dead temper of a scholar! He can come here because of the face of the Geng family. The face of the Geng family is great, and the face of the Wang family is also great! But can he come here only because of these two points? Isn't it because the cabinet approved the talent? He and the There is no friendship in the cabinet, and if there is friendship, he will be promoted early, hmph, after all, it is just that the old man was begged by others, and he has a heart to cherish his talents!"

"That would be wrong... wouldn't it be?"

"It can't be wrong!" Shen Yang smiled: "As long as he comes, it will be settled! When the time comes, we will write the confession, and there will be no proof, who are we afraid of?"

"What about Wang Yunyi? After all, he is his now." Tan Youzhi pondered for a moment: "If he wants to intervene, the sky and the earth are far away, so there is nothing we can do."

"Wang Yunyi is such a wise and safe person? He has only been here for half a year, and the friendship between the Geng family and him is from the younger generation. There is no need to stand up for him. Brother, you can put your heart at ease! I don't know the emperor's temper. ? If at this time, the outside can pacify Monan, and the inside can get rid of the serious troubles in the heart, hehe, even if the cabinet is going to be disbanded, the emperor will be willing to give up those old men!"

Wang Yunyi was plotted against by Shen Yang, but unfortunately he didn't have time to plot against him.Wang Yunyi has been tossing in the officialdom for decades, and he knows what to ask and what not to ask, what to provoke and what not to.At this moment, it is better to think hard to deal with the troubles in his hands.

"What do you think of King Monan?" Wang Yunyi drank a little too much today, and secretly took a wormwood ointment to wipe his forehead.

Du Qihuan drank tea: "It's hard to say... It's hard to say. After so long, there is almost no movement, which makes people unpredictable. The prince also has almost no movement. I don't know how the king of Qin is doing."

"King Qin is rare! He is a man with lofty aspirations, and he will never stand still for selfish desires. He will not move at this moment, and he will definitely not move! I am holding back the forces in the capital here, and Wo Tuolei will hold back the forces over there. Hey, in the future It's already May, and I don't know if the King of Qin can break the deadlock! Shen Yang, who was sent by the emperor, is not very old, but he was a former companion. Already! If you can’t come up with a way to make him feel at ease, it will be difficult to fight the next battle.”

"The eldest princess that Mr. Wei was following is lost!" Du Qihuan sighed: "He told me when he came back that although the princess set a date for her trip, she must leave after Mrs. Wei. This woman's What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

"After all, she has limited strength, and she is full of incompetent people. As long as she doesn't want to escape, we don't need to worry about it." Wang Yunyi thought for a while: "She won't run away. She and Wei Chi have a good friendship. If you really want to run this time, you won't drag Wei Chi to the back, what do you think?"

Du Qihuan couldn't help probing: "Master Wei, don't be tempted by Fanxin."

Wang Yunyi smiled faintly: "Don't try me anywhere. It's still the same sentence, since I let go, I just trust him."

Du Qihuan took a sip of tea and thought, if he really believed in him, why bother to guard against him?After thinking about it again, there is a difference between belief and non-belief. It is not bad that General Wang can trust you Xiaowei to this extent.

Before the haze created by the great people could turn into dark clouds to cover the sky, when the muddled little man——Wei Chi rode a horse on this sunny afternoon and walked to the gate tower of the east gate, Wei Chi broke up with Xianggnaji, and the little girl bid farewell to her with a grimace. Wei Chi thought to himself, this girl looks silly but she is not stupid, and she has a sense of propriety in her words and actions.It's just that it's hard for a person like me who is in troubled times to have any deep friendship with someone who is full of idle thoughts.I just hope that she won't look away next time, and find a fake husband-in-law to know her.

Lu Shengduo on the tower of the west gate looked into the distance, he knew that all the moves were under control, but...it seemed that he had forgotten something and couldn't remember it for the time being.
