"Martial arts?" Yi poured out and muttered to himself: "There is no martial art, but practice makes perfect." ”

"Huh?"

Zong Xiu's face was strange, could it be that the martial arts were fake? However, Yi Chengqing did rush out with two swords in his hand to outnumber the crowd, and also killed three people.

Yi played with the hilt of the sword and whispered: "In Yi Fengge all these years, in addition to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is to practice swords. ”

"Mother Yan said that singers who can only play music are always inferior, so they taught me sword dance."

"If you play too much, you will get used to it."

"Women are weak, and it is too difficult to win with strength against others, so you can only fight with courage, speed and reaction."

"As soon as I was worried about my son, I forgot my fear, and I just thought it was a sword in the pavilion."

After Yi poured his affection, he stared at Zong Xiu and said with a smile: "I heard that last year, the Qiang thieves invaded Wuwei County, and Gongzi also killed six thieves with a sword. ”

Zong Xiu: "......"

He has the name of 'killing six thieves with a single sword', but that's not good for him at all.

As a traverser, living in a new era of harmony and stability, who has nothing to do to fight swords and compete with others, isn't that looking for a pass?

Besides, he really has that ability, and he just copied the knife directly.

Zong Xiu laughed twice, hiding his embarrassment.

Yi Qingqing saw that Zong Xiu was silent, just regarded as Gongzi Ruyu, gentle and modest, blinked his big eyes, and asked curiously: "Childe, this assassin is strange here, and he is still holding a hard crossbow, do you want to talk to Lu Gong and their ward?" ”

Of course, Zong Xiu understood the meaning of Yi Yuan's words.

This is ancient times, although the imperial court did not ban bows, but crossbows were forbidden.

The bow can also be regarded as a tool of production, there are always hunters who need to hunt, and villagers who need to drive out jackals, tigers and leopards.

But the 'crossbow' is different.

A crossbow doesn't need to be practiced all year round, as long as it is well wound and equipped with an arrowhead, even a child can shoot it.

Therefore, it is definitely not ordinary people who can use 'crossbows' to carry out assassinations.

And he's just crossed over, and he hasn't offended anyone, who would die to find a group of assassins with crossbows to assassinate him.

Possession of a hard crossbow is a great sin.

Zong Xiu thought about it in combination with the matter of being followed in the afternoon, and sighed: "No need." ”

"And what if the Assassins come?"

Yi asked nervously.

Zong Xiu sneered: "Someone assassinated someone with a hard crossbow in the middle of the night, would the court not know about such a big event?" Wait, someone will visit tomorrow. ”

Seeing Yi Chengqing's puzzled face, Zong Xiu didn't explain.

The crossbow belongs to the controlled ordnance, and if you dare to use the crossbow to play assassination, there must be a high-ranking person behind it.

Although Zong Xiu didn't know who was looking for someone to assassinate him, he believed that someone would come soon to deliver the news.

After all, Chang'an City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and all the dignitaries who live there are high-ranking officials, for their own safety, who doesn't raise secret agents to collect news? If you really want to be able to enter Chang'an with a crossbow casually, those bigwigs who are extremely human ministers are not in a hurry.

All we have to do now is wait!

Just see who's coming tomorrow.

He had just been assassinated, and at this juncture, the first person to visit him must be someone who really cared about him, and someone worth befriending.

Since the Assassins were not killed, the fleeing Assassins would surely go back to tell what had happened, and the Messenger would not be foolish enough to come and see if he was dead.

And those who dare to risk offending the messenger of the Lord and come to see him must be worthy of deep friendship.

Zong Xiu was irritable and had no intention of sleeping. Yi was also worried that the assassin would go and return, so he stayed by Zong Xiu's side all night.

Early the next morning, Jiang came to knock on the door as always, preparing to cook on the fire, but when he saw his own Langjun, Jiang panicked.

An ordinary woman is not panicked when she sees her man seriously injured.

Jiang Shi panicked and didn't know what to do, but he couldn't stop crying, wailing: "Boss, you can't die." You're going to die, but I'm going to live. ”

Zong Xiu had expected this, and after a few words of comfort, he asked Jiang to go back to find the carriage, and then put Jiang Chen on the carriage with Yi Tianqing, and the group rushed to Jiangjia Village.

When they arrived in Jiangjia Village, those villagers heard that Jiang Chen was injured, and they all gathered in the courtyard of Jiang's house to talk about it.

Jiang Chen's ten-year-old son cried even more.

In the end, it was Jiangjia Village [Lizheng] who dispersed the onlookers, and asked Jiang Chen's youngest son to call Langzhong in the village to come over.

Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Zong Xiu glanced at Yi Qingqing, who quietly took out the gold and silver that had been prepared from the carriage.

Jiang Chen half leaned on the head of the bed, saw the burden, and hurriedly postponed: "My lord, I can't do it, the little one is the guard of the country, and the big man is the master of the country, it is the duty of the villain to block arrows and protect the safety of the adult, how dare you ask for the reward of the adult." ”

Zong Xiu forcibly put the burden wrapped in silver on the head of the bed.

"Brother Jiang, I won't say kind words, I wouldn't have been lying down without you yesterday. Favored by people for a thousand years, there is not much money, you use it first, and go back to buy some supplements to recuperate. ”

"But ......"

Jiang Chen also wanted to say something.

Zong Xiu glanced at Jiang who was sitting on the threshold and sobbing with his eyes.

"Brother Jiang, you are injured now, and I am afraid that you will not be able to return to the prison in a short time. Not to mention the broken salary, you have to buy supplements and medicines, which is also a lot of money, just relying on the original savings, what do you let your sister-in-law and eldest nephew live on? ”

"Hey~"

Jiang Chen sighed heavily and stopped refusing.

These big-headed soldiers have meager salaries, and they also have Shangguan deductions on weekdays. really recuperated at home, and the general above didn't directly deduct his salary and silver cleanly? In case of repeated disabilities, the position of Guozijian will be lost.

The two chatted a few more words, and saw Jiang Chen's youngest son leading Lang Zhong in the village to run in in a panic.

Zong Xiu waited for Lang Zhong to finish the diagnosis, and prescribed medicine before getting up to say goodbye, and told Jiang to take care of the good student at home recently, and he didn't have to go over there first, so he led Yi Chengqing down the trail to go home.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and there were bursts of piano inside.

"Hehe, someone is really here."

Zong Xiu smiled and was about to walk into the courtyard.

Yi Chengqing hurriedly pulled out the soft sword, walked quickly to Zong Xiu, and said in a low voice: "Childe, be careful, I'll go and take a look first." ”

Zong Xiu waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry, if the assassin really came in the middle of the night." In this loud afternoon, how could an assassin be stupid enough to break into the house and play the piano openly. ”

Yi was still worried about Zong Xiu's safety, so he led the way to the hospital.

As soon as he entered the door, Yi was stunned and said in disbelief: "Mother Yan...... What are you doing here? ”

"Yan Chengcheng?"

Zong Xiu hurriedly followed, and saw a guqin on the stone table under the tree in the courtyard, and Yan Chengcheng, the head of Yi Fengge, was sitting upright at the table, with ten fingers, plucking the strings at will; The jade face with light makeup was smiling, the phoenix's eyes were shining, and when she saw the two of them entering the hospital, she smiled coquettishly: "What?" Mom came to see you, don't you like it? ”
