The news brought back by the third prince of Gui can be sure that Huaijiang Yiba was instructed by Yuan Shu and Li Zhu.

Although it cannot be confirmed, Huaijiang Yiba may indeed come to Luoyang.

An Yi's assassination failed, and Yuan Shu and Li Zhu would not be reconciled.

Yuan Shu has openly set up a pseudo-imperial court, and he will deal with the Luoyang imperial court unscrupulously. If the little emperor Liu Xie can be assassinated, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to Yuan Shu.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, the defense of the forbidden palace must be strengthened.

But the matter must not be made public, otherwise it will cause unnecessary panic.

Liu Mang immediately summoned Zhang Xutuo, Yan Qing, Wu Song and others.

Zhang Xutuo is a subordinate of Guangluxun, and Ren Hu Ben Zhonglang will shoot the left servant and take charge of the guards outside the forbidden palace.

Yan Qing is a general of Hulang, the commander of the guards around the emperor, and is in charge of the defense of the inner court.

Strictly order the two and strengthen vigilance.

Huaijiang is a hegemon, strong in martial arts, and Yan Qing and other guards may not be its opponents. Zhang Xutuo's guards, not to mention.

"Erlang, you go to Sutuo's subordinates and lead the team to patrol the defense."

"No!"

Wu Song's martial arts are strong, but he can't go twelve hours without rest. Even if you only work the night shift, you can't stand staying up late every day.

"Sutuo, I will send you another person with strong martial arts, and I will take turns on duty with Erlang, and I will definitely ensure that there are no problems in the Forbidden Palace."

"Don't worry, my lord."

"The young master's mansion ......" Compared with the Son of Heaven, Yan Qing is more concerned about the young master Liu Mang.

"Xiao Yi, there is no need to say it. The safety of the Son of Heaven is more important than everything. ”

……

There is no shortage of martial arts in the army.

But such as Qin Qiong, Qilang Yanhei, etc., are all foreign generals. In Liu Mang's heart, there is another candidate - Luda.

Last time, he drank with Yu Hao and Pei Yuanshao and made trouble and was punished by Liu Mang. Ruda cut his ambition and stopped drinking.

Liu Mang has learned many times that Luda does what he says. Since then, not a drop of alcohol.

It was still far from Luda's residence, and Liu Mang heard bursts of shouting.

In the courtyard, Ruda was practicing.

The round head is shiny and shiny. Topless. The blade in his hand is whirling, and it is very imposing.

Seeing the arrival of the lord Liu Mang, Luda hurriedly accepted the salute. "Lord, look at my new weapon!"

Ruda's weapon. Jet black and shiny. One is like a shovel, and the other is a crescent moon. The whole body is made of iron, which is very heavy and even majestic.

"Shovel?!"

"Hey, yes! Brother Wei Chi asked his master to help me fight! It's so easy to use! ”

"Haha. The shovel was replaced by a shovel, and the Luda shotgun was replaced? ”

"Hey, hey......" Ruda got the weapon in his hand, and he couldn't close his mouth. Hey? What did the lord just say? What do you change from? ”

"Uh...... Hahaha, it's nothing, I'm just going to say it in passing. ”

Guns and cannons, how Liu Mang explains, Luda can't understand.

Explain to Luda and ask him to report to Zhang Xutuo immediately.

……

The vigilance of the forbidden palace has been strengthened, and he cannot take it lightly in his own house.

strengthened the night guards, Liu Mang was still not at ease.

Last time, Huaijiang was assassinated. The shadow in the family's heart is still there, and they can't tell Wan'er and the attacker, Liu Mang can only quietly discuss with Wuji.

Wujian is also worried, but she is calmer than Wan'er and Raider. "At night, it's best for families not to be alone."

Liu Mang said: "That's what I mean. ”

"Mother's side, I will arrange slaves and maids to guard in the name of escort. Wan'er and Sister Raider, is this good, I pretended to be unwell, and let the two take turns to accompany me. The husband accompanies the other. ”

"That's good. It's just that for a period of time, it's inconvenient to do that......" Liu Mang attached to Wuji's ear. whispered love words, and his face was flushed with shame, but he was extremely happy......

……

Su Wei came to report that Luoyang General Cheng bit Jin's subordinates and rode the capital Sun Wen to ask to see.

"Sun Wen?" Liu Mang has an impression. He is also from Li Yan's recruitment hall.

To show respect for talent, as long as there is time. The talents recruited by the recruitment hall will be met by Liu Mang.

In addition to Deng Zhi, most of the military talents recruited during this period were sent to the army to be more than 100 generals and generals.

This Sun Wen has the ability to dominate the military, and he comes from Yang Zhai under the rule of Yuan Shu. Liu Mang deliberately upgraded it by one level and entrusted it to ride the capital.

Qidu is a middle-level officer with hundreds of generals.

Liu Mang treated his subordinates leniently, and Sun Wen dared to ask to see him. If you go over so many levels to ask for a meeting with other princes, you will be directly blown away by the guards, and you may even be punished.

"Let him in."

Sun Wen held a small cloth bag and said, "This is an ancestral heirloom, and I am here to offer it to the lord." ”

How dare you come to give a gift? Liu Mang's brows immediately furrowed.

Sun Wen also knew Liu Mang's rules, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, my subordinates offer this thing, just because it is special." ”

"Oh?"

Su Wei took it, Liu Mang opened the small bag, and inside was a piece of silk cloth, on which were densely written with small characters.

The top eight sentences:

The sticky slip is seven feet near, and the split is two feet away

The whole body relaxes and guards the dantian, and the wrist slides down when the pole is lifted

Pull the drag gun and look back, and take off the rod to enter without cover

I waited when he was blind and knew that his position was up to me

It's a trick to practice spears!

Below, sure enough, it's a gun score.

"This ...... Is it your grandson's ancestral marksmanship? "The handwriting on the gun score is obviously new.

"Yes. When his subordinates heard that the lord also practiced guns, he copied a copy of the gun spectrum and asked General Cheng to transfer the gun spectrum to the lord, and General Cheng asked his subordinates to send it in person. ”

If Sun Wen gives other gifts, Liu Mang will definitely not accept them, and he will definitely be severely punished.

But giving away a gun book is like Liu Mang asking Lin Chong, Wu Song and others for kung fu advice, but it's another matter.

……

The gun spectrum given by Sun Wen is only thirteen types.

Although Liu Mang has only practiced martial arts for more than three years, several masters Yan Qing, Hua Rong, Man Gui, Lin Chong, and Wu Song are all martial arts masters.

The so-called famous teacher produces a high apprentice, although Liu Mang's kung fu is not high, but he has not a lot of knowledge.

It can be seen at a glance that this thirteen-style marksmanship is a good thing!

What's even more rare is that these thirteen types of marksmanship have been connected into a routine. It's smoother and more convenient to practice.

Some of these moves, when Liu Mang learned marksmanship with Lin Chong, he had already practiced it well, but some of the moves had extremely tricky angles and were very difficult to practice.

Especially the footwork.

Several of the footwork styles are very strange. There are even some footwork that seems impossible at all.

Kung fu that is difficult to practice is more powerful when practiced.

……

The drought predicted by Guo Shoujing has gradually become apparent.

Luoyang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the surrounding states and counties have come to the news. The survival rate of spring-sown seedlings is much lower than in previous years.

In the Central Plains, the most serious ones are Qing, Yan, and Henan prefectures.

Yuan Shao's Jizhou, with fertile land and developed ditches, was in slightly better condition.

Although the situation in Yuzhou of Yuan Shu was poor, the Nanyang area was not affected. Moreover, Yuan Shu has been entrenched in Nanyang for a long time, and he has hoarded a lot of grain, so there will be no big problems.

Due to the sufficient preparation made in advance, coupled with the extremely high seedling emergence rate and survival rate of the seeds cultivated by Jia Sixian, the merger and division under Liu Mang's rule were very little affected.

In this case, a smooth autumn harvest can increase grain output by at least 40 percent!

Liu Mang is full of confidence.

However, food is the foundation of people's lives. The people were more afraid of food famine than of thieves and wars.

Affected by the surrounding areas, panic in the area of Luoyang and Hanoi is still gradually spreading.

The people rushed to buy food to prevent famine, causing the price of food to rise three times a day.

It must be contained, otherwise it will be chaotic.

There are four specific measures:

First, it is necessary to strictly observe traffic and strictly restrict the export of grain.

Second, let the Red Lady and Qiao Ji's art troupe rush to various places to strengthen propaganda and tell the people that this year's merger and state and Sili will be a bumper harvest year.

Third, provide grain to save the market. A part of the grain purchased by Qiao Zhiyong will be put into the market to stabilize grain prices and stabilize people's hearts.

Fourth, intensify the crackdown on speculation in grain storage. Convene the head of the family, publicize the policy, and severely punish those who dare to make huge profits by raising grain.

The panic gradually subsided.

Zhaoxian Hall, there is good news again.

Li Yan personally brought a young man to meet Liu Mang. (To be continued.) )
