Chapter 46: Slash Tactics (I)
After a few turns along the corridor, Li Xin stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the big house in the north corner, and unfolded a well-laid room in front of him, with a sleeping couch on one side and a futon stacked high on it. There is an ink painting hanging on the wall, with two square hairpin rosewood chairs and a thick felt carpet. Eight large chairs are lined up on both sides, and a figure stands with his hands behind his back, looking at the painting in a daze.
"Daddy." Li Xin called out, and there was obvious coldness in his voice.
"I heard you're doing something stupid again?" The figure asked without replying.
"How can this be stupid?" Li Xin became excited all of a sudden, "When the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, this is the right thing to do......"
"Righteousness, righteousness, righteousness! You will know to say 'righteousness' to me! Could it be that Dad spent so much energy to send you to Fuxue, just to let you do chivalrous deeds? The figure turned its head, and it was clear in the candlelight that this person was ......
Li Shiqing.
He had come to his son's house for refuge......
Previously, he had asked Bao Yong to pay attention to Liang's every move, but Liang Zheng had always acted carefully, Bao Yong had secretly observed for many days, but he was still at a loss, and all he reported back were trivial things.
The only thing worth noting is that on that day, Liang Zheng took Zhou Ji's proprietress into the wing room on the Tianguang Towers, and then suddenly poured into many Liang Mansion generals......
Strangely, however, everything seems to be calm again.
At that time, the boss of Zhou Ji also said that he had saved his relatives and that a distant relative was looking after the store on his behalf, and now that person is gone......
The clue is broken again!
So Li Shiqing couldn't figure out what secrets were between Liang Zheng and the Red Lady.
But he figured out one thing......
His housekeeper, Bao Yong, is actually the White Lotus Sect!
However, it was too late, Bao Yong had too many secrets in his hands, and he could only join the White Lotus Sect.
This is of course forced to be helpless, but Li Shiqing is not without his own thoughts: to prevent the revenge of the Red Lady, and at the same time use the White Lotus Sect to deal with Liang Zheng......
Unexpectedly, the Red Lady didn't wait, but the White Lotus Sect wanted to win over Liang Zheng, and even didn't care about her own thoughts at all, and only gave a promise of "helping you take revenge after the matter is completed" like a cake at the end!
But that's not the worst......
The worst thing is that his mansion has now become a secret den of the White Lotus Sect - but that's not all, Bao Yong has revealed his identity since he revealed, and now he seems to have changed as a person, although he is still his butler on the surface, but in fact he has begun to point fingers at him.
Every once in a while, he gave him money for business, and even almost asked him to "sacrifice his wife" in order to win over Liang Zheng......
He is dumb and eats yellow lotus, and he can't say wow!
So not long after the banquet in Tianwailou, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to run to his son's side to ask for a cleansing, but he never thought that as soon as he arrived, he heard that his son was doing stupid things everywhere in spite of his earnest teachings......
No, a few days ago, I rescued a person from an unknown source, and even spent money everywhere to ask her for medical treatment......
Thinking of this, Li Shiqing was simply angry, and pointed at Li Xin's nose with a trembling hand and said, "Lao Tzu gave you money to let you make friends with Mr. Fuxue and Lord Governor!" But it's good for you to use your family's money all day long to help the poor and save the wounded, what does the life or death of those people have to do with you? Are they the priest of the country, or the secretary of the ministry? How can Yu Shitu Economics help you? β
"Daddy!"
"Now it's even more blatant to get people into the house...... Why, do you have to me off? β
"Dad~!" Li Xin had to raise his voice, "Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, how can this be measured by benefits." β
"Okay." Li Shiqing laughed angrily, "If you have the ability not to hand over the powerful and not to be the prime minister's protΓ©gΓ©, then you also have to have the ability to be named on the gold list, but what about you?" Rush to take the exam every year, fall every year, you ......"
Li Shiqing sighed heavily, tried his best to alleviate the anger rising from the bottom of his heart, and patted his son's shoulder seriously: "Dad was beaten as a eunuch, and now he is desperate for politics, our family points to you to get ahead, you are the only hope for our Li family......"
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted impatiently by his son.
"Dad~" Li Xin said, "Say how many times have I told you, I don't want to be an official." β
"You're ......!" Li Shiqing was suddenly so angry that his hands and feet were cold, "What kind of bastard are you talking about!" A manly man, he doesn't want to cultivate his family, govern the country and level the world, and he doesn't want to stand in a temple and glorify his ancestors...... So what do you want to do? β
"Dad" Li Xin straightened his neck and argued, "It's not that my son doesn't like to be an official, if today's son is mediocre and the court is full of smoke and miasma, do you want to force your son to join these people?" β
"You ......"
"Although I have made friends with some three-minded and nine-rate people, they are all hot-blooded men with true temperaments, isn't it much better to associate with these people than with those corrupt officials and snakes?"
"I ......"
"Also, you always ask me to study, but 'do good deeds and accumulate virtues, so as to give righteousness' is also the principle taught in the book, but you also say that I help the poor by eating inside and out, so do you want me to study, or don't you study?"
"You, are you still reasonable......" Li Shiqing became more and more angry the more he said, he was already nesting a belly of fire and had nowhere to sprinkle, and he came to his son to hide from it, but he didn't want his son to be so angry, this time it added to the fire, and he couldn't help but pick up the teacup on the table and smash it.
"Get out of here!"

On the other hand, Yongning County.
In the study of the Liang Mansion, there is a huge sand table spread out in front of you.
This was specially instructed by Liang Zheng to be piled up with mud and sand, and the various terrains simulated above were the movements of the mountains, woodlands and rivers in the suburbs of Yongning that he had personally observed in the past few days.
At this moment, he was raising his head from the huge sand table, moving his somewhat sour hands, and turning his head to look at the sky.
He had just knocked on the three short and one long bangzi, and it was nearly three watches at night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all......
In the past few days, he has been doing this almost every day, standing in a military posture with the soldiers in the barracks during the day, practicing shooting and fighting bayonets, and at night he needs to sort out and sum up the experience of the day's military exercises and constantly revise his methods.
"Young Master, what are you doing here?" Xiao Zhao, who was standing on the side, added another cup of tea to him, and when he turned around, he glanced back at several rows of Go black and white pieces side by side on the sand table in front of Liang Zheng, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What is this...... Liang Zheng smiled, "I'm trying to deduce the slash array." β
"Slash?" Xiao Zhao, who put down the teapot and was holding scissors to cut candles, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, "What is this?" β
Liang Zheng said: "This is not a thing, it is a kind of art of war." β
When Xiao Zhao heard this, he laughed out loud: "Young master, your word long snake formation is not like a word long snake formation, and the two dragons out of the water array are not like the two dragons out of the water array, which is also considered the art of war?" β
As she spoke, she picked up the chess box again and handed the chess pieces behind Liang Zheng.
"Oh?" Liang Zheng's eyes froze, and he asked a little strangely, "You still know the art of war?" β
When asked like this, Xiao Zhao's hand holding the chess box trembled sharply, and he almost knocked over the box, and he couldn't help but scream "oops".
"What's wrong?" Liang Zheng heard the noise and turned his head to look at her.
"It's nothing, I missed it for a while-young master, what is the slash array, you can tell me about it." Xiao Zhao was not in a hurry, and cleverly changed the topic in a few words.
In fact, of course she understands military affairs!
Because she and her sister Xiaoyue are both the daughters of Sun Yuanhua, the former governor of Shandong and the imperial history of the capital.
