Li Zongxiong continued, "In fact, this Li knife technique is also from the army, the beginning of the creation of the previous dynasty during the dynasty, the distant ancestor Tai Xiangong in the previous dynasty Su Zong years followed Guo Linggong to participate in the counterinsurgency war, life after more than 50 battles, in his later years to create a knife technique 12 styles, the ancestors of the later generations gradually perfected, to the time of the father has been expanded to 48 styles, I took over this knife from the hands of the father, after years of painstaking research, eliminate the complex 12 styles, and then into the 36 types of knife techniques. ”

After listening to Li Zongxiong's introduction, Liu Fan hesitated and said, "Chief Manager, this is a bit inappropriate to pass on to ......his subordinates."

"There is nothing inappropriate, there is no such thing as not passing on to outsiders in the family motto, and I have passed on the knife method to Shouyi and Shouxin, but they are not good at using knives, and they can't understand many subtleties in the knife method, I know that you like to use knives, so I hope you can carry forward this knife method, and in the future or Shoujing, or Peng'er, if you have a talent in the knife technique, pass it back to them, so that the original intention of the ancestors to create this set of knife techniques is also inherited."

Anyway, get up and face south, hold a knife in your right hand, pinch a knife trick in your left hand, form a ring with both hands, slowly lift, this starting hand style is an exhibition, the wind rolls the lotus, pushes the window to look at the moon, splits Huashan, and pushes the boat...... After the drill of one move, the purpose of this drill is to let Liu Fan see clearly, so Li Zongxiong's movements are very slow, and he has to stop and explain when he encounters a slightly more difficult place.

After Li Zongxiong practiced twice in a row, Liu Fan had basically memorized the thirty-six sword techniques, bowed down and said, "The chief manager will rest for a while, I'll practice first, and if there is anything wrong, please correct the chief manager." ”

After speaking, he took out the Xuantie Treasure Knife he carried with him, and went on the field to practice the thirty-six sword moves one by one from beginning to end. Chen Hu and Li Min were both surprised, this person was really talented, and after only reading it twice, he had memorized the thirty-six sword moves clearly, although some of the knife moves were not mellow and smooth enough.

Li Zongxiong said, "It seems that my old man is not wrong, and I have only seen it in my life when I memorized all the sword moves after only practicing it twice." ”

Liu Fan said embarrassedly, "The chief manager praises falsely, it's not that he has a good memory, but for some reason, he feels that these moves are familiar, and he is even more handy to learn, so he dares to practice for you after only teaching them twice." ”

Li Zongxiong pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke, "It may be that this set of sword techniques comes from the army, and General Xiao Liu has also experienced the tempering of actual combat in the army many times, so it may be faster to get started with this set of sword techniques, but more importantly, you may be born with extraordinary acceptance of knife techniques." ”

After Li Zongxiong finished speaking, he pointed out more than a dozen places where there were obvious problems in Liu Fan's drill, and so on again and again, until Liu Fan was able to master the entire set of knife techniques without mistakes, and at this time the sun was already hanging on the eastern horizon in vain.

At breakfast, Liu Fan saw Li Min's aunt Mrs. Chen, the county lord of Jingning and her pair of golden boys and girls in the dining room, he knew that every room in a large family has a small kitchen, and if there is no small kitchen, the servants will also be brought from the big kitchen to their own room to eat, unless there is a big festival, everyone will get together to eat a few meals.

It seems that everyone went to the dining room to eat together today because Li Min had just returned from Liangzhou yesterday.

As soon as Liu Fan greeted the two, the little boy named Peng'er immediately said to Liu Fan, "Uncle, uncle, I have seen you, you are the black-faced uncle." ”

Liu Fan said helplessly, "You admit your mistake, I'm a red-faced uncle." ”

Li Min glanced at Liu Fan and said, "Peng'er can't be rude, call Uncle Liu Fan." ”

Li Zongxiong took a child in each hand and said, "Don't be rude to this uncle in the future, this uncle will be your teacher in the future." ”

The little boy muttered, "Grandpa, I don't want this uncle to be my teacher, I want Aunt Ling Han to be my teacher, Aunt Ling Han is good-looking." ”

Liu Fan slandered in his heart, "Damn, it's still a little pervert, you don't want to learn, I don't want to teach you yet!" ”

The county lord of Jingning next to him smiled, "You don't want to learn, people don't necessarily want to teach you, people are great generals and great poets, and you still pick and choose." ”

Listening to the words of the county lord of Jingning, Liu Fan secretly wiped a cold sweat, and said to himself in his heart, "This person is too bewitching, does he have the ability to read minds?" ”

When the group sat down at the dinner table, the county lord of Jingning casually asked Liu Fan, "General Liu is not busy today, my two younger brothers have read your masterpiece and have been looking up to you for a long time, so I will introduce you to them." ”

"Sister-in-law, this ...... It's really unfortunate that I'm going to have something going on today...... I want to go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to worship the Buddha. ”

The county lord of Jingning looked at Liu Fan suspiciously, and then turned his eyes to Li Min who was drinking porridge next to him, Li Min immediately put down the spoon and said, "Sister-in-law, that's right, I went with Liu Fan, speaking of which, I haven't been to the Great Ci'en Temple for many years." ”

Liu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, it's really not a shame that they are comrades-in-arms who were born and died together, and they are still reliable at critical times." ”

"General Liu still believes in Buddhism?" Li Zongxiong continued.

"No, no, I'm just interested in ancient buildings, and I just have time to see them today."

"Oh."

The county lord of Jingning next to him said, "Maybe we can meet again today, I remembered, two days ago I told a sister that I would also go to the Great Ci'en Temple to worship the Buddha, and I happened to have nothing to do today." ”

When he got out of the dining room, Li Min asked casually, "Do you really want to go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple?" ”

"What if you don't go, your county lord's sister-in-law will also go, if you don't go, you will be exposed."

"What do we do with her, where are we willing to go and report to him?"

"It's not good after all."

"Oh well. Shou respect, go lead the horse, and put on another carriage. Li Min immediately said to Li Shoujing, who was following Liu Fan's buttocks.

"Isn't it okay to ride a horse, you still need to ride a carriage?"

"I don't care, could it be that your family Ling Han rode the same horse with you and swaggered through the market on Chang'an Street?"

"If you dare now, maybe you will ride the same horse today, and tomorrow everyone in Chang'an City will know."

"You just need to know."

When the three of them and a group of guards went out, Liu Fan arranged for the two of them to go to the military camp outside the city to find Dong Zi and others, and asked Mu Qing to sign the record written by Yu.

Unlike most dignitaries and nobles who lived in Yongxing, Chongren, Shengye and other squares in the east of the city, Ling Han's home lived in Yining Fang in the west of the city, which was a courtyard temporarily allocated by the imperial court after Guo Huaide was promoted to the head of the northwest camp in October.

Because Liu Fan and several guards entered the city yesterday when it was past the right time, although during the Spring Festival, lanterns of different shapes were hung on the trees facing the street every few steps on each street, and red lanterns were also hung at the gates of each square to express festivity, but because the hour was close to the closing of the square gate in the city, there were few pedestrians on the road, and Liu Fan and several people were in a hurry, so they didn't care about paying attention to the situation in Chang'an City.

At this time, I traveled all the way with Li Min, only to see that Chang'an City in this era was not inferior to the urban construction before Liu Fan crossed, although it was difficult to compare with Beijing, Shanghai and other international metropolises, but the city was neatly planned and the roads were wide.

In particular, located on the central axis of Chang'an, the Zhuque Street, according to Liu Fan's rough estimate, the width of the road can reach the current two-way ten lanes, which is wider than the main street of the general small and medium-sized cities before Liu Fan crossed, according to Li Min, the entire Zhuque Street is paved with a foot square of green bricks, and the other main streets are also paved with green bricks or smooth stone slabs, and the tall locust trees are planted on both sides of the road every few steps. It seems that the management of the city is also quite rigorous.

What really rivaled the metropolis of later generations was the bustling carriages and pedestrians throughout the city, with dedicated carriage lanes and sidewalks on each road, while some roads were not allowed to pass by horse-drawn carriages, equivalent to today's pedestrian streets.

Liu Fan estimated that it was less than midnight, but whether it was a carriageway or a sidewalk in the city, almost every street was crowded with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians.

From Shengye Fang in the east of the city to Yining Fang in the west of the city, this is a short road of six or seven miles, usually less than two quarters of an hour on horseback, but today it is nearly an hour, this winter day, Liu Fan and Li Min both walked out of a hot sweat.
