Zhang Qiu was a little annoyed when he heard these words, he only got up the courage to come here, and then he was ridiculed, and everyone would be a little unhappy.

But after all, he was worried that this was the west courtyard, and Mr. Mingyuan was still resting in it, so he didn't want to cause trouble here.

But before Zhang Qiu could refute, the servant at the side spoke up, he said: "This is someone from our house, you guys better stop chewing people's tongues, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have the chance to visit the door next time. "

These words clearly told these scholars not to use the prestige of the husband to reprimand others, and the person reprimanded was still a member of their family.

It's not too long for the servants to serve Mr. Ming Yuan, but he knows the situation in the mansion.There are not many serious masters in this house, and it just so happens that Zhang Qiu is one of them.

These few scholars who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, rely on their ability to learn from Mr. Ming Yuan, so their eyes are higher than the top.

These few scholars respect this servant more than Zhang Qiu, after all, they are the servants of Mr. Ming Yuan, so they cannot be offended.

Hearing his words and scolding, they froze for a moment, and then realized that they might have said something wrong.

Unexpectedly, this burly man turned out to be from their house.

So he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, dear man, please forgive our rudeness just now."

Zhang Qiu didn't care about them either, these scholars were too talkative, he couldn't say it, so he simply nodded and went to sit in the room.

It just so happened that Mr. Ming Yuan had a cup of tea and rested and heard voices outside, and when he came out, he found Zhang Qiu coming.

Mr. Ming Yuan didn't know much about Zhang Qiu. Although they had known each other since Linzhou, one was a great scholar in the literary world and the other was a martial artist.

Seeing Zhang Qiu coming over today, Mr. Ming Yuan subconsciously thought that Jiang Ziyan had something to ask him to come and ask him for help.

Unexpectedly, after sitting down, Zhang Qiu said: "Hello, sir. I came here this time to ask you for some knowledge skills."

Mr. Ming Yuan was surprised, "You want to learn? Are you going to take the imperial examination?"

"No, I want to participate in the martial arts exam. It's just that this year's martial arts exam includes not only the seven essentials of martial arts, but also an essay on the art of war. I really don't know how to do this, so I thought I would ask you for advice."

Since ancient times, warriors have been highly skilled in kung fu, and there are very few who are both civil and military.The Great Wei Dynasty was no exception. Many generals in the army were illiterate.

Also because of this, the civil servants in the Great Wei court didn't like to see these warriors very much, and they could argue endlessly over trivial matters every time.

After learning about it, Mr. Ming Yuan said: "This old man may not be able to help you much. He can only teach you some writing structures related to common policy theory. As for how to combine the art of war with examples, this old man can't help you much."

Zhang Qiu was a little disappointed, he didn't expect that even Mr. Ming Yuan was not good at it.

"However, if the old man recommends someone to you, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if you go to study with him."

Zhang Qiu came alive and asked, "Who is it?"

"King Rong."

Zhang Qiu was surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Ming Yuan would recommend Mr. Rong to him. He knew that this man was Lin Zhao's grandfather, but he was not familiar with him at all. It was only when Lin Zhao recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan. At the banquet held by Prince Rong's Mansion, he met Old Prince Rong.

As if seeing his hesitation, Mr. Mingyuan said again: "Don't worry, King Rong likes a heroic, powerful and straightforward person like you. Maybe he will go and teach you everything, then you will make a lot of money!"

Zhang Qiu hesitated and asked, "Why does it have to be King Rong? Do you have anyone else to recommend?"

"You silly boy, King Rong is more approachable than you think. He may not be in a hurry with those masters in martial arts, but in terms of military art, there are very few people who can match him in the whole of Wei. If you are a few decades younger You will know how powerful King Rong was on the battlefield back then."

What's more, behind the background of Prince Rong's Mansion, learning the art of war strategy from an early age, and teaching a fool to write about the art of war strategy, to be honest, he is a bit overqualified.

But now that Lin Zhao is an official in Lin'an, not in the palace, the old prince will inevitably be lonely by himself, just let this stunned young man go to entertain him, saving his life too deserted.

So Zhang Qiu prepared some presents, and under Mr. Ming Yuan's persuasion, he paid a visit.

However, the timing was unlucky, the old prince Rong was playing mahjong with the people in the mansion.Chen Butler knew that this person had a deep friendship with Jiang Ziyan, so he specially asked him to wait in the side hall, and he went to report to the old prince.

The old prince made a lot of money playing mahjong today, and he has already played three games in the dealership, and the rules are three dealers, but the old friends who played with him after these three games all went on strike at the same time, and they said they were not feeling well.

The old prince was disappointed and had no choice but to give up.Ask Steward Chen to bring Zhang Qiu over and say to meet him.

Earlier, he had investigated all the people around Lin Zhao, the old prince, so he knew about Zhang Qiu.But this time it was the first time I saw it seriously.

Zhang Qiu didn't know what other people would do when they saw the old prince, so he simply did a warrior's salute.

The old prince said a word of courtesy, and then asked: "I know you, the guard next to Ziyan, right?"

It is said that it is not all guards, there is no guard as free as him.Still, he nodded without denying it.

"You came to see me today, but what's the matter?"

"My lord, I want to take this year's martial arts exam, but I'm stupid and haven't read any books. This exam has added a strategy of war. I heard that my lord is very good at the strategy of war, so I came here to ask for advice. .”

This was what Mr. Ming Yuan taught him by pointing it out.Otherwise, he is a big bastard, and his words belong to Lao Tzu, and I am afraid that he will be kicked out as soon as he sees the prince.

After hearing what he said, the old prince Rong didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either. He wanted to make him happy, and said: "Just now I was having fun playing mahjong with some old friends, but I just won a few games from them, but in the end they played mahjong." They all said that they were sick and all passed away, which made me very upset. Why don't you think of a way to make me happy, so I will teach you."

Steward Chen, who was silent at the side, thought to himself, how did you beat them a few times? In the past few days, you have won them hundreds of taels of silver. It's no wonder they don't run away.

Zhang Qiu was a little embarrassed, he was a rough man, he really didn't know how to please the old prince.Even playing mahjong, he is not very good at it.

He suddenly remembered the card fight landlord that Jiang Ziyan taught them to play when they were in Linzhou.Seeing that the old prince likes chess and card games so much, maybe this will work.

So he said: "Your Majesty, I thought of something interesting. It was Ziyan, brother Yan, who taught me when I was in Linzhou. It's a kind of playing card. Let me go back to my residence and get it."

The old prince didn't expect him to have any tricks to make him happy, but when he heard him say that Jiang Ziyan taught him the fun, he immediately became interested, "Then you go and come back quickly."

After Zhang Qiu left, Housekeeper Chen said: "Since the lord wants to help him, why did you give him this difficult problem? If he was just an excuse just now, what should we do if he won't come later?"

The old prince Rong understood it clearly, and said: "No, he is a man of integrity and righteousness, and if he really doesn't come here, then don't even think about this king teaching him, it's his loss .”

Zhang Qiu's legs and feet were quick, and he took a pack of cards from his residence in a short time.

After arriving at the palace, carefully introduce the gameplay of Doudizhu.

Three people are needed to play this kind of card, so Steward Chen who was standing beside him was pulled in to make up the numbers.

Zhang Qiu's card skills were not very good, after a few hands, the old prince Rong had already familiarized himself with the rules and started to fight back.

After a few rounds, the old prince Rong was very happy.

So the old prince Rong said: "Boy, you have found the right person. Come with me after dinner, and I will teach you the tactics of war on the battlefield."

Zhang Qiu was very happy to get the promise of the old prince. Warriors worship the strong. Although the old prince has not been on the battlefield for many years, the legends of the past still remain on the battlefield.This time he is apprenticed to a teacher.

After successfully worshiping the old prince as his master, Zhang Qiu wrote a letter to Jiang Ziyan to tell him the good news.

After Lin Zhao came back in the evening, Jiang Ziyan told him about Zhang Qiu's visit to the Rong Palace.Lin Zhaodao: "Grandfather is also idle at home. It's good to have someone to accompany him, so as not to be addicted to playing mahjong all day. Sitting there every day without moving is not good for your health."

Jiang Ziyan was also a little worried when it came to the fact that Lord Rong loved playing mahjong.He didn't expect the old prince to like playing mahjong so much, and he didn't know whether giving him mahjong was a blessing or a curse.

"Don't think so much, it's none of your business. He just can't bear to be lonely when he's old, and wants to find something to pass the time. With Butler Chen watching, it's no big deal."

"Well, that's true." Jiang Ziyan specifically told Butler Chen to look at the prince more last time, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Jiang Ziyan said: "Brother Zhang just happened to be there now. They are both martial arts practitioners, so they should have more common topics."

At that time, the two who had more common topics were training in Rongwang Mansion. Zhang Qiu didn't expect that he just came to learn the art of war, but was trained by the other party in marksmanship and martial arts.

In addition, the theory of military tactics has not been left behind. Every day, the old prince Rong assigns him a lot of homework. You must know that he is a martial artist, and what he hates most is reading and learning.

But the old prince Rong obviously valued him very much and felt that he was a man who could be made, so he made him vigorously.

Every day, two hours for target practice, one hour for marksmanship practice, two hours for military strategy theory, and one hour for other martial arts training.

In the past few days, Zhang Qiu was so tired that he fell asleep every day. The high-intensity training made him, a strong man with good physical strength, almost unable to hold on.

Fortunately, the effect of these days of practice is quite remarkable, but in a few days, he has already been able to write a decent essay on the art of war, and even his martial arts have improved a lot.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of April, and the martial arts exam was held as scheduled.

The martial arts examination is divided into two rounds, the first round is the martial arts test, and the second round is the literary test.

Zhang Qiu calmed down and walked into the martial arts examination room.

This is a huge school field, and sports such as riding and archery, infantry and weightlifting can be carried out at the same time.Because the examination threshold is low, there are many people who come to participate.

The exam is divided into time slots, first draw a number to register, and then wait in line.

Zhang Qiu got the afternoon show, the weather was clear and there was no wind, it was a good intention.

The riding and shooting distance is a bit far, but his riding skills are superb, and all ten hit the bull's-eye, which made the military examiner very impressed with him.When it came time to shoot, I focused on his performance.

After all the subjects in the military test competition were over, Zhang Qiu successfully entered the second round of the literary test.That is to write the seven essentials of the martial arts by heart, plus an essay on the art of war.

The number of people who entered the second round of the literary test was about [-]% of the number of applicants, and the previous round of the military test directly passed a lot of people.

The chief examiner of the literary test turned around, and then stood beside Zhang Qiu.

This young man was the one whom General Ming Wei valued during the first round of military tests, so he came here to see how this man's military tactics were.

This martial arts exam is in full swing, and there is good news from Lin'an.

The old man brought back by Lin Zhao woke up.
