Chapter 173: The heart is sick and the person is gone

Li Mi learned from Zhang Sunsheng and Wang Hongzhi the reason why Wang Shizhen hated him, so he came to Wang Shizhen's room.

The little girl offered new tea, Li Mi also drank tasteless, and he was not interested in the tea ceremony, so he took out his cigarette gun and smoked it.

Although Wang Shizhen couldn't see it, he could smell it, but he didn't express any dissatisfaction, but said to Li Mi.

"May I see your knife?"

Li Mi knew that he couldn't let go of this matter after all, so he immediately untied the Qi family knife on his waist.

Wang Shizhen stroked the black sharkskin scabbard, and carefully pulled out the blade, stroking it carefully, his movements were very gentle, as if his fingers could touch the slightest sword pattern on the blade.

"My Wang family is a scholarly family, stretching for thousands of years, being an official for generations, and the Qi family is a lifelong friendship, Qi Jiguang This guy also likes to read, but he is a little unlucky, and he can't pass the exam, and then he can only inherit the grace of his ancestors and serve as the commander of Dengzhou Wei."

"When I was studying, my husband took a table word Yuanmei for me, and Qi Jiguang, this guy was not to be outdone, and took a table word Yuanjing, saying that reading is not enough to compete with me, so let's go to war."

"This guy is really good at fighting, but it's a pity that ......"

Wang Shizhen's word pity is full of vicissitudes, and Li Mi can even think that when the government and the opposition start to cook rabbits and dead dogs, jealous of Qi Jiguang's high skills, and want to kick Qi Jiguang away, Wang Shizhen should be so angry in his heart, and how to hold Qi Jiguang unyieldingly.

Wang Shizhen returned the Qi family's sword to the sheath, and then said to the little girl: "Take the old man's sword." ”

The little girl went back to the room as she said, and after a while, she took a sandalwood sword box.

Wang Shizhen groped and opened the sword box, took out the sword of the red deer skin scabbard with both hands, and stroked it gently, the scabbard had been polished, and every night, I don't know how many times the old man stroked the sword, thinking about the general who shook the sea.

"This sword was given to me by that guy, and one day, he told me that during the war, he fished out a big iron anchor in the sea, which should be a 10,000-year-old black iron, a treasure, so he gathered craftsmen and created a sword."

"Of these three swords, he wore one by himself, kept one as a family heirloom, and gave the rest to me."

"At that time, I was still disgusted, and mocked him and said, I am a Sven, and I don't fight and kill like you, and it is a waste to ask for a sword, but he shook his head and said that good things should be shared with good brothers......"

Wang Shizhen was completely immersed in the memory, and her eyes were moist.

"It's hateful that when everyone despises him, I can't help him, and I, Wang Shizhen, am just a vain name......"

"Believe it, for so many years, I have never pulled out this sword, and I have never seen what this sword looks like......"

"When I was young, I wasn't interested, but I wanted to see it, but my eyes were broken, and I couldn't see anything......"

This old thing, Li Mi is not good at judging it, the old man may have been depressed for too long and needs to vent, instead of consoling, it is better to be an honest listener.

Wang Shizhen was silent for a long time, and then pushed the sword in front of Li Mi with both hands.

"This sword will be given to you, if you have the heart, you will kill a few widows for me in the future, so that Qi Jiguang's old boy has a spirit in the sky, and he knows that his sword did not let me waste it......"

Li Mi was suddenly a little panicked, this sword was a divine weapon, a treasure, and even Qi Jiguang kept one as an heirloom.

At present, even the most ordinary Qi family knives are regarded as sacred objects by the people, and big collectors like Xiang Mu are all interested in collecting a set of Qi family army armor or swords and weapons, how can Li Mi win people's love!

"How can this make the noble son always martial arts, wouldn't it be better for the boss to pass it on to him?"

Seeing Li Mi shirking like this, Wang Shizhen also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Li Mi: "Shisu is active, fierce and fierce, sooner or later something will happen, I heard about it earlier, and you also privately admonished him not to dance with guns and sticks, this is prescient, he should really listen to your advice." ”

"You don't have to get rid of this sword, and pull that unscrupulous son, really let him get this sword, and I don't know how much trouble will be caused in the future, since you know how to persuade him, you should know the stakes and disadvantages, so there is no need to say more."

Wang Shizhen also told him frankly, Li Mi secretly admonished Wang Shisu, he knew such a secret thing, it seems that this old man is also blind and not blind.

"Don't be careful, although the old man is rotten, but in the end he is the head of the family, my Wang family has been passed down from generation to generation, I dare not say that it is a famous family, and it is also a scholarly family, even if I leave, I have to take good care of this family before......"

"Speaking of which, the old man also has a reluctant request, the eldest son Shiqi has already entered the first Dengke, and he has also made up for the official position, the old man can rest assured, but Shisu doesn't know how to settle down, if he gets into trouble in the future, you will pull him for the old man, this sword power should be an advance payment, you don't need to say that it is useless, everyone is happy, do you say yes or no?"

Wang Shizhen had already said this, and Li Mi couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the sword, and then said to Wang Shizhen.

"The boss should know that the kid is just a catcher, and he doesn't have any skills, but if there is such a thing in the future, the kid will definitely abide by today's covenant, please rest assured!"

Wang Shizhen heard Li Mi's statement, and also smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand at Li Mi and said, "Okay, the benefits have also been received, you can go back, the old man is about to miss the nap." ”

Li Mi also smiled, stood up and said goodbye to Wang Shizhen: "Even so, the kid retired first. ”

Wang Shizhen could also feel Li Mi's sincere smile, but at this time, he said to Li Mi: "Don't waste this sword, catching fast is not a long-term solution, you go to the martial arts exam." ”

When Wang Shizhen said this, Li Mi was also surprised, after all, Wang Hongzhi and Zhang Sunsheng had already mentioned it, and now Wang Shizhen also said the same, can these old antiques be seen so clearly, and taking the martial arts examination by himself is the real way out?

Now it is already in the middle of Wanli, the situation in Liaodong is gradually urgent, and then there is chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is the day of the military generals.

However, Li Mi also knew very well that he was by no means the material for war, and it was impossible for him to lead the troops to go on the expedition, even if he was admitted to the martial arts examination, it was to better go in the direction of the prison of the criminal name.

Li Mi has strengthened his confidence, he also saw his own advantages and disadvantages clearly, in Li Mi's view, the external enemy is terrible, but there is a saying, thousands of miles of embankment collapse in the anthill, internal pests need more attention.

Regarding Wang Shizhen's suggestion, Li Mi was the only one who accepted it, thanked him again, and then left Wang Shizhen's residence.

When he returned, he had time to draw the sword.

This sword is really not suitable for scholars to wear, some scholars actually like swords, so they are fashionable, but they are all slender swords.

However, this sword is a Wu Yue-style big sword, that is, a wide-mouth sword that focuses on chopping, Qi Jiguang adapted measures to local conditions, and used the heavy and tough material characteristics of the ancient iron anchor to the extreme, giving this sword the greatest ability!

But that's okay, Li Mi doesn't know how to swordsmanship, but he already has a little experience in swordsmanship, and this wide-mouth sword is also very handy when used as a straight knife.

Besides, Li Mi's cultivation was originally the Qi family's knife technique, whether it was a war knife or a sword, it was from Qi Jiguang's hand, which was most compatible with the Qi family's knife technique.

After releasing his suspicions with Wang Shizhen, Li Mi was also in a happy mood, and after a night like this, he had nothing to say.

On the second day, Li Mi was dressed neatly, with a sword in his hand, and a sword on his back, and he was about to follow the army on the road.

He wanted to keep a low profile, but the swords and swords were very heavy, he couldn't always hand them over to the autumn and winter girls to carry, this time they were all officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, it was unspeakably expensive, he was such a small catcher, he didn't even have horses, and such treasures couldn't be thrown in the cart, so he had to carry them on his back.

But today's atmosphere is a little weird, after Li Mi arrived, he found that the people were neat, but Zhang Sunsheng and Wang Hongzhi and others did not come, even Wang Shisu, who loves to be in the limelight on weekdays, did not come!

The team had been assembled, but the chief officer was not present, and the hundreds or thousands of people were about to make noise, and the vegetable market was noisy.

Li Mi thought about it, then took the autumn and winter girl and walked back to the office to see what was going on.

However, as soon as I walked to the door, I heard a faint cry, and when I looked inside, Zhang Sunsheng and the others had heavy faces, with a face of grief and regret!

Li Mi had an ominous premonition in his heart, stepped forward quickly, and said to Zhang Sunsheng, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Sunsheng sighed lightly and replied to Li Mi.

"Wang Sima has already left last night......"

"Gone?" Li Mi's heart suddenly tightened, and then looked at Zhang Sunsheng's expression, and he also understood that if he left, he would be completely gone, and if he couldn't come back, his heart would be uncomfortable.

Wang Shizhen is already a candle in the wind, his eyes have been blind, and he is tired of fame, he is depressed all the year round, and he can't get rid of it.

"Lord Wang walked very peacefully, and after falling asleep at night, he continued to sleep like this, with a smile on his face, and he did not suffer anything......

The average life expectancy of the ancients was very short, so there is a saying that life is rare in seventy years, and more than sixty years old can be regarded as the end of life, and there is no complaint at all.

Especially in the officialdom, it is already a fluke that the officialdom in the middle and late Ming Dynasty rolled around and could get a good ending.

Li Mi also had some indescribable sighs and sadness in his heart, although he didn't know Wang Shizhen on the first day, but it seemed that yesterday, he really knew the most real Wang Shizhen.

It's just that we just met, and this old man is gone like this, how can people not be sad?

Zhang Sunsheng and Wang Hongzhi and the others discussed for a short time, and then said to Li Mi: "You go out and tell me, let's stop for two days and then leave, how much must we take care of Yuanmei's affairs properly......

Li Mi didn't think much about it, and was about to go out to give orders, but at this time, Wang Shisu was carrying a ring-headed big knife and rushed from outside, his face was full of tears, his eyes were blood-red, and he swung the knife at Li Mi and slashed!

"I'm going to kill you, a dog thief, and I'm going to avenge my father!"

Everyone was also shocked, and Li Mi quickly thought of the reason, only afraid that Wang Shisu thought that Li Mi was plotting a sword and killed his father Wang Shizhen.
