The three men stood under the tree, and after a moment, the old woman sighed, but she woke up, and her face looked much better.

Kong He sat beside his mother, fanned his mother to relieve the fever, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, don't weave in the house in the future, the son is useless, the mother wants to supplement the family, and the son also knows, but if the mother has three longs and two shorts, the son will regret it for the rest of his life, where will he have the face to live in the world again." ”

Mother Confucius responded with tears in her eyes and promised not to work too hard again.

After Kong He settled his mother, he sent Xu Zixian and Li Yi out, went to the gate of the courtyard and shook his head, and only after getting up did he say: "The great grace of the prince, there is nothing to repay, I can only go to the other courtyard to take up the post, but it is strange that the other courtyard has no accounts to speak of, why should I be called to go down to settle the accounts?" ”

"Brother Kong will know when he arrives, and he really has something to ask for." Xu Zixian didn't say it clearly, Kong He didn't ask, and after sending the two of them for dozens of steps, he turned around and went back to take care of his mother.

"This person is a filial son, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to be flexible." Li Yi said with emotion: "If I had received some benefits, I am afraid that I would have developed a long time ago, and if I married a wife and went home to serve my mother, I would not have such a thing as today." ”

Xu Zixian smiled and said: "I think that the more people with such temperament, the better." ”

Li Yi shook her head and laughed when she heard this.

As the sun sets, there are still a lot of merchants along the road, some go to other states, but most of the merchants go to Nananze Town from the street, that is, to Fuzhou Fucheng.

Xu Zixian's eyes flickered, and he was thoughtful in his heart, but he was stunned for a while.

The two returned to the other courtyard together, and when they separated, Li Yi arched his hand and said: "Unexpectedly, the prince of the world is actually proficient in the art of disambiguation, it seems that he really underestimated the prince before." ”

Xu Zixian said: "Li Gong must not say that, how to rescue after heat stroke, I am afraid that the traveling doctors in the countryside of Hanging Bell know it, but I accidentally looked at the medical book and saw it, but it is not a medical skill." ”

"Also, the prince has been reading a lot lately." Li Yi didn't say anything more, and arched her hand again with a smile and left.

Xu Zixian is not in a bad mood...... Kong He seems to be a shrewd, outward, principled, and disciplined capable person, and he can be used by this person, as if he accidentally found an available man when playing a game.

There are many such talents in the memories of his previous life, but there are only two people who can attract the mansion recently, and the rest of the big talents are difficult to serve him.

But there is no good thing that the king's anger is shaken, and now he only has poverty.

……

The wind rose, the gray clouds piled up in the sky seemed to be substantial, the weather suddenly darkened, and the wind blew on the body to bring bursts of cool air, which made Xu Zixian feel that the summer vacation was gone, and the sweat on his body was blown away a lot.

Before evening, he practiced archery as usual, and the people around him had seen too much, and they didn't think it was strange.

When the arrows were collected, the wind blew a large black cloud, and it seemed that this rain was not small.

When he collected the arrows, two people came from behind, deliberately hiding their tracks, and the sound of their footsteps was small and subtle...... But Xu Zixian still heard the sound of footsteps for the first time.

He has been practicing archery here for more than three months, and not only has his archery skills improved greatly, but also his physical strength, arm strength, waist strength, and spirit have made great progress.

The ancients did not have much fitness equipment, but there are also invincible brave generals, martial arts is the art of killing, if a person is approached from behind and is not aware of it, then what kind of master is it called......

Xu Zixian didn't think about it for too long, Li Cheng's father and son had already become a hidden threat, and he had to be careful everywhere to prevent the father and son from jumping off the wall in a hurry......

He turned around, the big bow in his hand was opened, the arrow was on it, the long military foot bow was steadily opened, and an arrow with a flat arrow was already very stable.

This is a heavy arrow and a strong bow, within 100 steps, it can be as deadly as hitting a person's vital point, it can break light armor within 60 steps and penetrate deep into people's muscles, and within 40 steps, even if it is a heavy iron armor, it can shoot through, although it will be blocked by iron armor for most of the force, it can also break people's muscles and bones.

Before the large-scale use of firearms, the people who died under the bow and arrow were unknown.

"Xu Mingda, you want to harm people's lives."

"It's only been a long time, I'm afraid this guy is crazy!"

The two of them screamed together, dodging and dancing with their hands, of course, they were also accusing Xu Zixian of how bad his behavior was.

Xu Zi laughed first and put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

The two of them are his friends, one is Xu Xingwei's character Zhang, the fifth generation of the clan of the "national surname family" from the family, long and strong, is a burly man, has been in the martial arts, when the time comes, he will go to Beijing to take the Jinshi, once he is selected, he will have an official body, and the situation will be very different.

The other is Wei Yi, the word Yanke, with a long body and a jade body, a young man, and a very good demeanor and appearance. His grandparents were sent by the imperial court to Fujian Road as officials from Zhending Mansion, and they never left Fujian Road for more than 20 years, and then simply stayed in Fuzhou to settle down, and they were also the children of the official eunuch family in Fuzhou City.

Xu Zixian and they are all acquaintances in the Zhao Wangfu, the sixth son of the Zhao Wang, Xu Ziwen is excellent, born intelligent, less than 20 years to change his name in the examination, respected by the people, his Tingfeng Xuan in the Zhao Wangfu is the top of Fuzhou's social place, a little bit of identity of the children of the family all participated, not qualified enough will sigh.

In terms of knowledge and knowledge, Xu Zixian was not qualified before, but fortunately, King Zhao was his cousin, and he wanted to go, but Xu Ziwen was not easy to refuse. However, this kind of assembly is either rich or expensive, and everyone will not look at Xu Zixian in their eyes, often making fun of him, and all kinds of rude jokes, Xu Zixian can only grit his teeth and endure it before, who told him to want to integrate into the real circle of power?

Wei Yi and Xu Xingwei can feel the forbearance and unwillingness in Xu Zixian's heart, his father's career is not smooth, Xu Zixian has to be false and wronged for the sake of the family, and it can be regarded as a latent minions to endure it, right?

These children of the family seem to be glamorous, but unless they are completely abandoned by the family, or the merchant family does not pay attention to it, which one does not have an account book made of blood and tears?

The two often help Xu Zixian, after a long time, although Xu Zixian has not grown, but has established a deep friendship, although they are not commensurate with brothers, they are actually similar to brothers with different surnames.

Xu Zi was in the courtyard first, that is, these two people would come to visit him, but none of the others came.

Xu Xingwei is the oldest, he is already nineteen years old, if he hadn't been going to take the Jinshi exam, I'm afraid he would have been married a long time ago...... His marriage is also decided, and he marries the Li family, a big merchant in the west of the city, which is also the norm of clan or country surname marriages, and the businessman wants to marry the powerful, but the powerful want to make real profits......

Wei Yi ranked second, showing his talent and fame, his ancestor was a general judge of Fucheng, and his father was a county magistrate in a county in Jianzhou, if he did not become a jinshi, it was very likely that the family business would decline one step further, so Wei Yi could understand and understand Xu Zixian's hardships and embarrassments back then, who was not involuntarily?

Xu Zixian ranked third, and his previous expression, temperament, demeanor and appearance were quite ordinary, but at this time, the two friends and brothers looked at him in surprise...... In just a few months, Xu Zixian has grown a lot taller, at least one punch higher than before, and his shoulders have become wider, and his chest, waist, and legs are quite coordinated and show vigorous vitality and strength.

Seeing that Xu Zixian was holding a step bow, Xu Xingwei was a martial artist, and he could see at a glance that this was a standard bow with twelve forces in the army.

The big bow in the army was originally used for soldiers to practice their strength, and it was two forces greater than the normal hard bow used in foot combat, but ordinary people couldn't pull it open, and even if they could pull it away, they could only pull a few.

In front of him, Xu Zixian was full of strength, and his clothes and robes were wet, and it seemed that he had pulled it open many times......

The appearance alone can already surprise these two people, and it can be seen that Xu Zixian is personable, calm, and his appearance has become outstanding.

"Mingda," Wei Yi praised sincerely: "Farewell to March, when you look at each other." ”

Xu Zixian smiled and said happily: "Many people say such things to me these days, be careful, don't shave off your eyelids." ”

Xu Xingwei said with a smile: "Mingda's martial arts has not yet been introduced, but the body is strong and the strength is rising, the most important thing is to have such a persistence, and in another half a year, I am afraid it will be considerable." ”

Xu Zixian said: "Do you have to practice hard for many years before you can enter the door of martial arts?" ”

Xu Xingwei muttered: "I haven't entered the gate of martial arts myself, but in my opinion, among the 10,000-strong army, there are only a few people who have entered. In a real big war, the general's 100-man enemy is of little use, and 10,000 enemies are the way to victory. ”

Wei Yi said with a smile: "It is not without a hundred enemies, among the several generals who founded the country, Fu Youde is good at attacking the strong with weakness, with a small number of enemies, and is the best at leading the foot to meet the enemy......

Xu Xingwei shook his head and smiled, and said, "I'm leaving, you and I can carry it, I can't carry it a few more times." ”

The three of them walked along the gap in the vegetable field to the back corner door of the courtyard, Xu Zi listened first, paused, and said, "Brother Zizhang is leaving Fuzhou?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Xingwei said: "The Jingshi Martial Arts Academy wants to recruit martial arts instructors, I plan to go to serve first, if I am appointed, I can leave Beijing, and when the martial arts examination is opened, I can take the exam in Beijing. ”

The three of them were a little gloomy for a while, and Xu Zixian quickly said: "Brother Zizhang, don't worry, you will definitely win." ”

His tone was very firm, and Xu Xingwei, who said it, laughed, and arched his hand: "By virtue of Brother Mingda's auspicious words, if you really win, you will definitely invite a table in Feiyan Tower in the future, thank you for today's prayers." ”

Xu Zixian smiled slightly, and didn't say much, but he knew, Xu Xingwei went north this time, and successfully got the position of teaching, the teaching and training of the martial arts hall is graded, first from the nine products, and after Xu Xingwei became a martial artist, he was transferred to a battalion in Jianzhou after a few years, and was the seventh product, when the Donghu people were killed, he served under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and was the deputy commander, and he was already a general.

Xu Zi thought about it for a while, remembering that Xu Xingwei was killed on the battlefield of Xianxia Pass, did not surrender, and failed to survive, his expression was a little gloomy, and he quickly covered up the past.
