Tent of the Chinese military camp.

At the top of the tent, there is a slightly longer table, a pot of boiling hot water on the charcoal fire, and a small stone mill on the side, and the two sit opposite each other.

The slender fingers gently turned the stone mill, and the fruit-green tea powder floated out from the gap in the grinding plate, and the scholar picked up the tea brush on the side and put the tea powder into the Luo sieve, and then poured it into the blue-black tea cup.

Then rush into the boiling water, pick up the teaspoon, stir while rushing, let the tea powder and boiling water fully mixed, every blow seems to bring a special charm, the tea surface is flooded with white waves, the milk mist is surging, and the pure and elegant pleasant fragrance is slowly accompanied by the milk mist.

Cui Sheng was wearing a plain and elegant wide robe today, full of bookishness, and a comfortable temperament, he pushed the tea cup in front of Li Xian, and his voice was orderly:

"Taste ......"

Li Xian was dressed in dull black armor, held the tea cup in both hands, took a sip, his eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's been a long time since I've drunk the tea made by the general himself, and the taste is more mellow and long than before, and I really miss it very much. ”

"Hahaha......"

This sentence really speaks to General Cui's heart, his interest is to pursue the tea ceremony, especially the method of ordering tea. Li Erwubai mainly said something else, and there was really no way to make Cui Sheng laugh, but he praised this......

The corners of Cui Sheng's mouth were smiling, and he spoke more gently:

"You...... I've been doing really well lately, and I've seen it all. ”

Li Xian touched his nose and looked calm:

"It's all thanks to the general's cultivation. ”

Cui Sheng glanced at Li Xian twice, shook his head and smiled:

"Are you going to go back to Wujun first?"

Li Xian nodded and should be:

"Yes, general, the last general has some personal matters that he wants to deal with, and he wants to take advantage of the fact that there is still a little time to go back to Wujun first. ”

"Good. ”

Cui Sheng readily agreed to Li Xian's request.

This was a bit unexpected by Li Xian, and he originally planned to intercede with Lao Cui to see if he could be accommodating.

He now has so much free time to allocate thanks to his successful victory in the competition, otherwise he would not have had so much time to go into the city from time to time, and he would have been busy with the training of the soldiers all day.

But

General Cui's next sentence made Li Xian a little confused.

"But...... You have to grasp the proportions in yourself, don't delay the competition of Youzhou martial arts, Xiaoxian, you must know that many people's eyes are watching you now. ”

Cui Sheng picked up the blue-black teacup and took a sip, the meaning of his words was a little difficult to understand.

If you don't understand, just ask, it has always been Li Xian's good quality.

"The general's words, the first half of Xiao Xian understands in his heart, but in the latter sentence, many people's eyes are looking at the last general, what is the explanation?"

Li Xian's back straightened slightly, and the whole person sat more straight, and asked, "General...... Do you mean Lu Taishou?"

Cui Sheng did not rush to explain Li Xian's doubts, but first blew the milk mist of the tea cup, took another sip of the tea he had carefully brewed, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the quiet and pleasant fragrance slowly bloom between his tongue.

"I was a little anxious when I drank just now. ”

The scholar raised his eyes and looked at the tall man opposite, his unhurried face was calm, he bowed slightly, and smiled:

"It's not just Lord Taishou...... The entire Youzhou military hierarchy is watching your performance. ”

Li Xian had already slowly figured out a little bit of taste at this time, and he asked again:

"I want to ...... Shouldn't it be more focused on Jiang Poyu's body?"

"Hahaha......" Cui Sheng let out a hearty laugh from his mouth, he looked at Li Xian, and said seriously: "The Jiang family will always be the Jiang family, not the Youzhou military." “

This time, Cui Sheng didn't deliberately sell Guanzi:

"The Jiang family's hundreds of years of glory have reached the extreme peak of the era, it is like two rivers with us, although the source is the same, but in the later years it has been distinct.

"To put it simply, the Jiang family has 700,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry in their hands, and the composition of these 700,000 cavalry is extremely complex......

When General Cui said this, Li Xian, who was sitting opposite, bowed his head thoughtfully.

The prestige of the Jiang family in Youzhou is in full swing, which he deeply understands as a soldier, almost everyone who is a soldier wants to serve the Jiang family, and they all want to enter the Netherworld Iron Cavalry, riding a war horse across the world, and making great military achievements.

For example, Li Xian's master, Zhang Zheng, was able to enter the Netherworld Iron Cavalry when he was young.

Boy!

Ten miles and eight towns and even Wujun are really full of lights, lively and grand! Even if they don't enter by themselves, they still look like they are honored, and they are proud from the bottom of their hearts.

It is enough to see the prestige of the Jiang family among the people.

can

One thing that is very important in this is that "almost everyone who is a soldier wants to serve the Jiang family." ”

Not the imperial court,

It's not a government.

As Cui Sheng said, perhaps at the beginning, the two came from the same source, but later they were quite distinct.

Li Xian just didn't expect that the problem about the Jiang family would become so serious.

..................

Cui Sheng keenly noticed the flash of worry in Li Xian's eyes, and then changed his words:

"These 700,000 cavalry are now in a big trend......

"At the beginning, if the Jiang family wanted to disarm, it was not impossible to do it, but as hundreds of years passed, the barbarians were beaten out of the Yin Mountain, and the wars became less and less, and the time of peace became longer and longer.

"In the end, more than 50% of the children of the Jiangmen family in Youzhou are serving in the Netherworld Iron Cavalry, maybe they are just serving as chiefs or 100 generals.

"However, thanks to their cruel selection conditions, this aspect of combat effectiveness has never been lowered, but it has also caused more and more family children to be sent to the Nether Iron Horse.

"Xiao Xian...... Do you know why?"

Cui Sheng raised his eyes to look at Li Xian.

Li Xian retracted his wandering thoughts, thought about it for a while, and had an answer in his heart, and replied quite cautiously:

"Because those families have money. ”

"Hahaha...... The children can be taught. Cui Sheng smiled and bowed slightly.

In fact, the answer is very simple,

Because cultivating martial arts requires eating meat, and eating meat requires money.

Among the Han family and even the poor, there are occasional amazing genius masters, but compared to the huge base of 700,000...... It's undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

The Jiang family wants to maintain 700,000 cavalry, and it is an elite soldier, and there is a set of cruel and strict selection criteria, in this case, how can ordinary big-headed soldiers have a chance, it is not that they can only accommodate those children from other generals' families.

Today.

Thanks to the selection criteria of the Jiang family's cavalry, every Youzhou people yearn to be a member of the Netherworld Iron Cavalry, and the prestige has been fermented for hundreds of years, thanks to the great military exploits of the ancestors, the Jiang family has become an indispensable part of the Great Jin Dynasty territory extremely successfully.

Can......

Only the real Jiang family knows in their hearts that they are bitter in their hearts.

In a sentence from the previous life, it was called: "Success is also Xiao He defeat Xiao He." ”

The meaning is generally similar.

With the Jiang family as the core, an extremely terrifying network of interests has been formed, and at this time, it is not they themselves who say that they can be disarmed, and they have no way to start at all.

Therefore, General Cui said: The Jiang family is the Jiang family, and the Youzhou military is the Youzhou military.

Li Xian couldn't help but straighten his back a little more, to be honest, every time he was alone with Cui Sheng, he would always feel a little nervous inexplicably, even if he was talking and laughing at the beginning......

can

As soon as he talked about business, he subconsciously sat upright, looking like the teacher was going to come to check the exam questions.

This is not to blame him, it is actually a conditioned reflex.

If you are not careful, it is easy to miss the important information in Mr. Cui's words, and the amount of information contained in that few words can be imagined, so Li Xian is not serious.

Then.

Cui Sheng stretched out his finger and hooked it slightly, only to see that in the blazing bonfire in the camp, a flickering flame separated out, and obediently fell into his hand, looking at Li Xian, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little playful for a while:

"You are the spark chosen by Lu Taishou himself. ”

Li Xian propped his hands on his knees, thought for a while, and said bluntly:

"Teacher, please speak!"

It is not an exaggeration to teach and solve doubts, and it is not an exaggeration to call a teacher.

Although Mr. Cui's various tests for him since Li Xian joined the army were not easy, he also helped him a lot in many places, and he was able to sit in the position of two or five hundred masters because of Lao Cui's promotion, so this teacher is not an exaggeration!

Cui Sheng was slightly stunned, he seemed a little surprised when he heard this word, he probably really didn't expect Li Xian to suddenly call him a teacher.

There were some complicated thoughts in Cui Sheng's eyes, which disappeared in an instant, as if a breeze was blowing through stagnant water, and the ripples subsided in the blink of an eye. did not express any attitude towards Li Xian's words, but just said to himself:

"Whether it's Lu Taishou's gaze or other high-ranking military officials, they don't matter...... The important thing is the holy. ”

'Ji Mingwu?!'

Li Xian's brows tightened slightly.

"What is the explanation of the teacher's words? Why did I become the spark chosen by the Taishou Lord, and why did the eyes of the saints pay attention to me?"

Syllable~

Cui Sheng put down the teacup in his hand, and the flames on his fingertips floated between the two of them.

"Because the younger generation is the best for you. ”

This sentence,

Li Xian still had a little joy in his heart.

But he is like a mirror in his heart, just talking about the vast land of Youzhou, countless proud sons of the heavens, and capable people, how did he become the top-notch one?

Can...... When he savored it, Mr. Cui was not talking about the strength, but the position where he sat on his buttocks.

Cui Sheng continued:

"In this martial arts move in Youzhou, except for the two Jiang family, you are the only one when it comes to root Miao Zhenghong. ”

Yang Fei is actually counted, but ...... Lost.

"Although Kaohsiung is a child of the Han family, he is a disciple of Bodhi Temple, Yunxi...... His identity is too special, and the rest of the people are all masters in the opposition or from the sect, and only you Li Xian stand out. ”

The flames were reflected in Cui Sheng's pupils, bright red and scorching.

He smiled, and said what Lu Guangxin said to Xiao Qing in the palace, much like Li Xian.

............

Li Xian almost inexplicably felt that the burden on his shoulders was invisibly heavier.

He really didn't expect Lao Lu to have such great expectations for him, and to put such a heavy burden in his hands. Even with Li Xian's temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little timid.

Without him,

That's too much of a burden!

Even the back, which had always been straight, slid slightly.

Li Xian looked at Cui Sheng and stopped talking.

Cui Sheng saw it in his eyes, his lips moved, both a little serious and a little playful:

"If you want to climb the sky, you don't share the dust with ants.

"This is a test for you, but also the greatest recognition of you, not everyone is qualified to shoulder this burden.

"Xiao Xian...... Once you've successfully crossed this hurdle.

"Who in the world doesn't know you!"

There seems to be a crazy wildfire burning wantonly in Li Xian's eyes, not the flame in front of him, but the ambition in his heart, and the desire that has always supported him to the present.

His back is very straight, like a mountain that stands up to the sky!

"Whew-"

Li Xian exhaled a breath of scorching breath, his eyes were bright but extremely sharp, like an eagle falcon above ten thousand people, he looked at Cui Sheng very seriously, immediately got up, raised his hands above his head, and solemnly bowed to Cui Sheng.

Cui Sheng's eyes showed appreciation, bowed slightly, and said softly:

"Be careful on the road. ”

Li Xian said: "Then I will retire first." ”
