Chapter 9 Dual Cultivation of Civil and Military Affairs

On a spring day, the light is unusually soft. The whitewashed county king's mansion is covered with a thin veil.

In a small courtyard, Li Chengji, who was naked, was walking under the guidance of an old man.

This is Xiao Chongde, Xiao Chongde, the old subordinate of Xiao Weili's thorn.

I saw that he was full of silver hair and his face was solemn. Just standing quietly gives people a momentum of not being angry and arrogant. This is the unique blood of a soldier who has been in the army for many years.

When Li Chengji secretly inquired about him, his body moved subconsciously. As a result, a pebble flew suddenly and hit Li Chengji's ass and shares. At the same time, a slightly deep preaching voice sounded in his ears: "Inhale!" Lift your breath! Stand still! ”。

With Xiao Chongde's unsmiling eyes, he lives like the king of Yama who came out of hell.

Li Chengji settled down, obediently facing the sun, and quietly tied up his horse.

Fortunately, the warm sun in spring is not much, and it is like being around the stove for a long time. The legendary spring hardship has become an enemy that Li Chengji must overcome.

After receiving several stones in this way, Li Chengji was able to dispel his sleepiness.

As the old saying goes, you need to stand for three years when you get started. Therefore, all Chinese martial arts must start from Zamabu. One is to exercise leg strength, and the other is to cultivate internal strength.

Although Li Chengji's body has learned martial arts from Xiao Chongde before. But he had a serious illness, which made his physical fitness decline greatly. Coupled with the soul that has traveled through modern times, the previous martial arts skills have been forgotten.

If you learn it now, you can start all over again.

However, there is a foundation in the past, which makes Zama step not as difficult as imagined.

What's more, Li Chengji also spent time in the special training team before the crossing. Not to mention 100 push-ups a day, let's talk about a periodic 20-kilometer cross-country long-distance run, which is extremely exercised. It's not just the body, it's the will.

So as far as Li Chengji is concerned, there is no challenge for Zamabu.

took advantage of this opportunity and said to Xiao Chongde: "Taiweng, can you tell me about fighting on the battlefield with Zeng Taigong?" ”。

The average elderly like to tell their juniors about the glorious days. One is not to accept the old, and the other is to win the respect of the juniors and satisfy their vanity. Especially some lonely old people! Because I can't find a person to talk to for a long time, I prefer to talk to people.

Like Xiao Chongde, there is one in eighty this year, which is the year of the war. There are no children and no daughters under him, and staying in the declining Xiao family should be the most lonely.

As a criminal policeman, Li Chengji has conducted systematic training on things that figure out people's hearts. Coupled with a long period of experience in handling cases, he has accumulated a certain amount of practical experience. I want to use this method to get closer to each other.

In fact, Xiao Chongde has a lot of preference for Li Chengji in his heart. It's just that when he taught Li Chengji to practice martial arts in the past, he was so troubled that he ran out of patience. So when he returned to the Li Mansion this time, he deliberately kept a straight face and alienated himself from the relationship with Li Chengji.

Now that Li Chengji asked him like this, he was right in the middle. He cleared his throat and recalled the years when he had fought on the battlefield.

According to him, he is not a Khitan. Rather, in the early years, the descendants of the Han people who fled to Yunnei Prefecture in Saibei. Due to the rise of the Jurchens in the east, the steppe tribes in the north broke away from the control of the Great Liao.

Yunnei Prefecture, which is close to the grassland, was plundered by tribes in this way. When he was still a child, he was taken captive to the grassland.

Later, it happened that Dezong Yelu Dashi was defeated and took away from the city of Kedun. Because there was no food, they gave him to the sheep that he had raised.

In order to escape Nayan's punishment, he asked Yelu Dashi and others to take him away.

At that time, Xiao Weili saw that he was clever and took him with him.

Over the years, he has followed Xiao Weili to fight in the south and the north. Born in the Western Regions, he laid a piece of the world. It's just that he is loyal to Xiao Weili, so from beginning to end, he is willing to be Xiao Weili's house slave.

After the entire Xiao family withered, they were still reluctant to leave the Xiao family.

Hearing this, Li Chengji not only fought on the battlefield for him, but also unconsciously felt surging. and admiration for his loyalty to the Xiao family.

After all, with Xiao Chongde's merits, he can completely stand on his own and become a general. It's a pity that he chose to live under the brilliance of Xiao Weili for the rest of his life. In the history of the founding of the Great Liao, there are few words from him.

can make such a big sacrifice, no wonder Li Xiao respects him as much as he does Xiao Weili.

At the same time, Li Chengji also has a deeper feeling about the difficulty of the founding of the Great Liao.

For when Jerodashi was defeated and took the city of Kedun, he took only two hundred men with him. As for food, it was only enough for three days. The whole journey was nearly 2,000 kilometers. So listening to it, it makes people feel admirable.

was full of emotion, and his leg and stomach were suddenly pumped. But he moved just now and was bumped into by Xiao Chongde.

This made Li Chengji secretly sigh that Xiao Chongde's eyes were good.

At such an old age! If it were an ordinary person, he would have been old and dizzy. But this Xiao Chongde is still clear-eyed. When he walked, he was also very stiff. It's not at all like the average elderly person who needs to be on crutches.

Maybe that's the benefit of learning martial arts!

The various skills of the body greatly delay the rate of aging.

However, this martial art was passed down from Li Chengji's cheap prince. said that the Xiao family was once in the Central Plains and invited a master of Taoism who was skilled in his appearance. so that they can teach the younger generations and strengthen their bodies.

Because of the sudden change in his family and country, Xiao Weili did not hide his selfishness. The martial arts passed down from his ancestors were taught to his close attendants one by one. In this way, it is also good to strengthen yourself.

After practicing like this until noon, Li Chengji's legs and stomach were sore and painful. Just sit on the stone pier in the courtyard and relax.

The considerate Zhuqing hurriedly walked over and poured a glass of warm water for Li Chengji.

This is Lee Seungji's habit! Neither tea nor mare's milk wine, the specialty of the area, is drunk. Find out what he likes, and follow his temperament.

After practicing like this for a while, he dragged his sore legs back to the study.

There is the teacher that Li Xiao invited for him! There are not only Chinese, but also Khitan and Huihe languages.

For Li Chengji, mastering these three languages is indispensable. Because Chinese is a traditional Chinese character, it is necessary for him, a modern person who is accustomed to simplified characters, to practice it again. As for the Khitan script, it is the royal script of the Great Liao. To climb higher, it is necessary to master the language. In modern parlance, it is a kind of political capital. Hui Hewen is the most common language of the current Daliao folk. If you want to go out and communicate conveniently, it is necessary to master it.

Therefore, Li Xiao invited three teaching gentlemen for him at one time. This learning task is naturally extremely heavy.
