Taiping Order

Chapter 40: Become a martial arts!

Xue Daoyong said such a heroic thing, but he didn't care. He just pointed to the chessboard, but his tone was obviously different from the past. He smiled and said, "Come on, watch, let's continue to play this game of chess. , Then you go to Sushuangtao to practice arrows."

Li Guan nodded, and the boy's face also looked gentle:

"Well, listen to the old man."

The old and the young smiled at each other.

No need to talk about the promise just now, these two titles are enough to make the other party clear.

So he reorganized the chessboard and held black and white. The old man claimed that he had been invincible in Guan Yi for 30 years. He was calm when playing chess. While playing chess, he talked about some other things and said, "It's not difficult for military officers. Nine A rank of Wusan official can only wear armor when performing [Deputy]."

"But your position is to patrol the various places for wanted criminals."

"The time is relatively loose, so it's okay to wear armor at will. It's a pity that the armor and armor are of strict rank. You can only wear light armor at this level, tanned with leather, and there is only gold at the critical point. However, armor and armor are armor after all."

"You have such martial arts, wearing armor and holding a heavy knife."

"It is possible to rush into a group of armorless enemies, and there are no taboos."

"Even if there are martial artists entering the country, with their just-in-the-body state, it is difficult to attack your vital points through the armor. As for ordinary people, it is useless to surround and kill more than a dozen people unless you run out of your own strength or He was wrapped around his legs, broke to the ground, and was pierced by a dagger. "

"As for the taller armor... it's different."

The old man sighed: "The armor of Yingguo's country can resolve all attacks from power. Even if it is hit by a heavy hammer, it will not cause any harm to the person he protects. The armor of our Chen royal family can take advantage of the divine weapons. attack."

"Legendly, Duke Chen once had a fight with my ancestors, but was hit by his ancestor Poyun Zhentian bow and could not die."

"And what is worse than the emperor's armor is the armor of the national guardian general, which can be manifested on the Dharma image. When attacking, the Dharma image will wear armor and hold divine weapons, and look down on you; then there will be armor and armor of generals at all levels. , the internal energy can flow on the armor just like it is in the body."

"It can attack and defend, each with its magic. Some are as light as paper but are indestructible; some can use the storm to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth naturally to ensure that the air flows within itself is continuous and never ends."

"There are many mysterious things that can be used as treasures; as for the armor of the border troops, it is also different from this armor that fights alone. Their internal energy can flow out armor, and the armor is connected, and the border troops are as powerful as hard as iron."

"If this money is just wearing armor, you may not be able to win without injury."

Li Guanyi listened carefully.

Then play chess at will.

The old man looked at the chess he played with a serious face.

The old man just sat down, quite casually, but he couldn't help but sit up a little straight at this moment.

He looked at the chessboard seriously and said, "It's a pity that military officers can only be useful in a country. Do you know what is the thing that is popular in this world?"

Li Guanyi thought for a while: "Martial power?"

The old man said, "Martial arts are one of them; in fact, there are three."

"Whoever has martial arts, literary reputations, gold; those who have martial arts are chivalrous and heroic; those who have literary reputations are grand masters, great men; money is a businessman; and those who are famous all over the world and have martial arts, and those who disdain for a thousand gold are famous scholars in the future are those famous scholars in the future. Now."

"If it were in a prosperous era, the value of famous scholars was not that great, but in this chaotic era, countries frequently attacked diplomatic relations. From all over the country to aristocratic families, they were all competing for famous scholars and winning over great talents."

"So the official position can only be useful in one place and one country, but the literary name can make you travel around the world without any obstacles. Even if you leave the customs, no one will stop you."

"If you have a serious crime in Chen State and a great reputation in the world, Ying State, Tuyuhun, and Turkic will use larger chips to keep you. This is like the 'trading' and 'suppression' between great powers, and it is to win over the enemy's efforts. One of the ten strategies for talent in the world.”

"I can use any wanted person in the enemy country. I can give such generous treatment, let alone a talented person with innocent wealth?"

Li Guanyi said: "I bought horse bones with a thousand gold coins."

The old man was surprised and immediately exclaimed, "It makes sense."

He immediately stroked his beard and smiled:

"Don't worry, since I bet you, I will find a teacher for you, promote your literary name, break the chains on your dragon body, and let you rise to the sky."

Li Guanyi nodded thankfully and said, "Thank you Mr. Xue."

Then I took one son and took my finger back.

"You lost."

The old man slowly lowered his head, looking at the chessboard, and the smile on his face solidified little by little.

"Um?"

………

Xue Shuangtao is waiting for the young guest to come in the martial arts venue today. She comes early every day. Today, she has shot two pots of arrows for practice. She has a little sweat on her forehead. Even Xue Changqing has gotten up to practice arrows, but she still Li Guanyi was not seen.

He frowned slightly and asked the maid, and then he realized that Li Guanyi had arrived early and went to Tingfeng Pavilion.

She wiped the sweat with a veil, placed the bow in her hand on the rack, and walked quickly towards Tingfeng Pavilion. She heard the sound of the chess piece falling on the board from afar, and her eyebrows frowned slightly. She knew that her grandfather was very good at playing chess, although she was playing chess. Most of the national players have become famous for their young years, but their grandfather is always strong and their chess style is steady.

It is known that Guanyi City has been undefeated for 30 years.

The reason why I like numerology and not chess is because I have been bullied by my grandfather.

Thinking about it, Li Guanyi must have been playing chess too. He pushed the door in, but saw the young man turning around and seeing him getting up, but the old man opposite had already reached out and grabbed the young guest's She yelled, "No, I will have another game, another game!"

Xue Shuangtao walked over, grabbed Xue Daoyong's wrist with one hand, grabbed Li Guanyi's sleeve with the other, then pulled his grandfather's hand away with a little force, blocked Li Guanyi, staring at the old man with a wide apricot pupil. , said coquettishly:

"Grandpa, how can you do this? You always bully the small by bullying them by the big ones, and you won't let someone go!"

The old man was frustrated and couldn't speak.

I bully him?

I bully him? ! It was this kid who bullied me, the old man.

But I said that I lost 18 games in a row, and my posture of dying is different every time, but I can't say it.

The young man blinked his eyes and messed up the chessboard without saying a word, "It's the old man's chess skills that are great. I lost many times... The old man became excited to play chess and chess. He mistakenly thought it was still early, so he pulled me. I won't leave."

Xue Daoyong was stunned for a moment, and then said as usual: "Ha...haha, Guanyi, your chess is also good, um, um, the child can teach, the child can teach."

Li Guanyi stood up and said, "Then, old man, I'll leave first."

"I'll play chess with you next time."

"Hahaha, okay, you have good chess skills, come often, come often."

Li Guanyi and Xue Shuangtao walked out of Tingfeng Pavilion. Xue Shuangtao said curiously: "Why did your relationship with grandpa be like this?" Li Guanyi said: "We are playing chess."

The girl wondered: "Which chess, what kind of chess can it be so useful?"

Li Guan smiled and did not answer her question. They went to the martial arts field to shoot archery again. When they were resting, Li Guan thought of the twenty arrows he had shot. While arching, he said, "Big" Miss, can you change the arrows?”

Xue Shuangtao shot through an arrow target, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Has it been used up?"

"Did you go out to hunt?"

Li Guanyi said, "Yes."

The girl said, "Let me see."

Li Guan picked up his own quiver pot and handed it over. Xue Shuangtao picked up the arrow and placed it on the belly of the index finger. Seeing that the arrow was balanced and it was difficult to maintain balance as before, the feathers at the tail of the arrow were also damaged and distorted. , said in surprise: "It seems that you shot a lot of prey. Are you getting anything?"

Li Guanyi said quietly: "Just hit the crow that eats human flesh and blood and carrion."

"I am ugly and can't take it back for you to see."

Xue Shuangtao had regrets on his face.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Xue Daoyong pampered his granddaughter very much, but he would not let her go outside alone to hunt.

Only when a lady goes out for a walk, she will be allowed to leave the city, and she will only drink the flowing water and the poems and songs.

Can't hunt.

Li Guan thought about it and thought that he had picked up a few stones in the stream and took them out of his arms. They were pebbles, which looked round under the erosion of the water. They were each of them with different colors and were crystal clear and transparent: "Those birds." You can't see it, but with these stones, it will look great if you put them in the water."

"Give it to the young lady."

He let go of his hand and the stones fell on the girl's palm, crystal clear, like gems.

Xue Shuangtao blinked his eyes and said, "Do you want me to complete the arrows for you?"

Li Guan froze all over.

The eldest lady Xue Daoyong led her up is not stupid.

Because they were all peers, they had been practicing and learning for a while. The relationship has changed compared to the gentle lady and gentle guest gentleman who was as gentle as the beginning, and it was more like a friend of the peers. The girl threw away the stone in her hand. He joked, "Your price is not enough."

"My guest gentleman."

"A arrow is one tael of silver, but it's comparable to the hard work you have in Huichun Hall in one month."

Xue Changqing was angry at his husband and said, "What's the matter, the tigress!"

He waved his fleshy little hands:

"I'll add money!"

Xue Shuangtao laughed, bent down and touched his brother's head, comforting:

"Okay, okay, you're the most powerful, okay?"

Then he looked at Li Guanyi and said, "You are a guest official, and you can buy arrows with salary. The price will be much cheaper. Have you spent all your money?"

Li Guan was short of money, and the old man gave him more money, so he didn't say he would give him money.

Xue Shuangtao said, "Okay, okay, after all, Mr. Keqing still remembers to bring some gifts to the little girl. How can you not hurt Mr. Big? Come on, come on..." She was joking, but at the end of the day, she I couldn't help but laugh in this tone.

The big blacksmith in the mansion looked at the handsome young man being brought by the eldest lady again.

Come and get the arrow again.

He also put the money into the name of the young lady.

The big blacksmith looked at the handsome boy strangely and said, "Tell me the arrow, what can you do to make it so bad?" Li Guanyi stood in front of Xue Shuangtao and handed the arrow in his hand over, full of suspicion and weirdness. When the blacksmith looked at the arrow, his eyes were sharp in an instant.

The arrow that kills people!

He looked up suddenly and looked at the thirteen-year-old boy.

The young man said, "Kill some wild dogs, jackals, and crows that eat rot and pounce on people."

"I just came out of Tingfeng Pavilion."

The blacksmith looked solemn and said, "...Okay."

He turned around and took a new pot of arrows. Li Guan thanked him and killed someone. He was like an old archer who picked up the arrow and tried his hand. He was slightly stunned and touched the delicate blood groove on the arrow. , felt the inverted hook on the arrow.

The blacksmith said, "You should use such an arrow."

Li Guan thanked me.

...

In Tingfeng Pavilion, the old man looked at the chess game and brought some files, which said that the great scholars who were recently near the capital of Chen State. In the end, the old man saw that among these great scholars, they were not the highest reputation. , but it is the most special one.

"Wang Tong, named Wen Zhongzi."

"There are more than a thousand disciples, but most of them are ordinary, and the three most outstanding ones are not very famous."

"Qinghe Fang's House Qiao."

"Dukeming, Jingzhao Dushi."

"Wei Xuancheng, a native of Quyang."

"But these three are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are just a little famous, not comparable to those talents on the list. But Wang Tong is very special. In this era of a hundred schools of thought, he was the first to propose the unity of the three religions. People are quite insightful."

For some reason, he suddenly came to Guanyi City and said that he wanted to accept disciples... For such a great scholar, the Xue family naturally had a visit to him. The names of Xue Shuangtao and Xue Changqing were on the visit. He was silent for a long time and crossed out the names of his grandson Xue Changqing. Then another name was written on that position.

Li Guanyi.

Xue Daoyong put down his pen.

"When you have achieved literature and martial arts, let me turn this old bone into a wind blowing through the sky. Li Guanyi, let me wait and see how far you can fly." After writing the greeting, he closed his eyes, clearly listening There were no ripples in the lotus pond outside the Feng Pavilion, but he seemed to have heard it—

I heard the storm of the strong wind.
