Ma Sanbao was shocked, but his face remained calm.

From the day he was ordered to come over, he began to study Zheng Yanqing's surname. Ma Sanbao never thought that he could hide it from Zheng Yanqing. But he didn't expect that this kind of scene would come so quickly. The speed even surprised him a little. Speaking of which, Zheng Yanqing didn't say much to him, and Ma Sanbao himself was very careful.

However, Zheng Yanqing still saw the flaws!

There was a large horizontal knife with a black leather scabbard on the bookcase, which showed a mottled color, revealing a faint murderous aura.

Ma Sanbao believed that if he didn't tell the truth, Zheng Yanqing would not dare to kill him because of Changsun Sheng.

He took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Zheng, your eyes are really vicious. The villain thought he was very careful, but he didn't expect to be seen by you...... The villain Sanbao, who came from Xiazhou, was ordered by Tang Guogong to serve the young master. Jiu Ye said, you stay alone in Luoyang, and you need someone to run errands by your side. ”

Xiazhou?

Zheng Yanqing was stunned at first, and a warm current suddenly appeared in his heart.

In this world, in addition to Zheng Shi'an, the only person who can care about himself so much is the teacher who is far away in Xiazhou.

Even though Zheng Yanqing verbally is willing to call Changsun Sheng a teacher, in his heart, he always regards Li Ji as the only teacher. Ma Sanbao's words, on the other hand, made Zheng Yanqing further confirm Li Ji's identity.

The teacher turned out to be from the Li Valve clan.

But what exactly did Lee Ki do? If you want to be incognito like this, what about hiding in the province?

Zheng Yanqing still didn't quite understand. But he also knew that Ma Sanbao couldn't know too much of the inside story. Even if Tang Guogong Li Yuan sent him over, it already showed that he was trustworthy. But there are some things that Li Yuan can't tell a subordinate.

"Teacher, he ...... All right? ”

Zheng Yanqing's voice trembled a little, looking at Ma Sanbao, but there was a little more warmth in his eyes.

Ma Sanbao replied respectfully: "At the end of last year, the ninth master went to Guzang, and now he is a guest in Longxi Hall, please rest assured." ”

"Longxi Hall?"

"It's where the Li family in Longxi is."

Zheng Yanqing asked strangely, "What is the teacher doing in Longxi Hall?" ”

"This ...... It is said that he visited Li Xingzhi, the patriarch of Longxi. But the specific things, the villain is not very clear. Before the villain came over, Tang Guogong only said that he would let the villain take good care of the young master and listen to the young master's orders, and nothing else was explained. ”

Zheng Yanqing responded and motioned for Ma Sanbao to sit down.

"Ma Sanbao, I don't have anything important here.

However, Mao Wang downstairs is old, and his legs and feet are not flexible...... In this way, you will be responsible for the purchase in the future. Usually you live in a bamboo hut, if you need anything, just tell Mao Wang, if there is anything, I will tell you. ”

Ma Sanbao agreed.

Zheng Yanqing talked to him for a while, and then let Ma Sanbao leave.

He found a volume of Yuan's Chronicles from the bookshelf, and after turning two pages, he quickly found a record about the Li family in Longxi.

The Li family in Longxi is one of the seven families with five surnames.

Among the five surnames, it is only listed after the surname Cui. Its hall name is Longxi Hall, which is divided into thirteen clan houses, and the family scale is huge. Among them, Guzang Li is the big house of the entire Longxi Hall, and its head Li Xingzhi, the word Yitong, the nickname of the teacher, has been Shiqi, Zhou, Sui three dynasties. Emperor Wen of Sui was named the male of Gushi County, and later became known as the man of the disease.

What is the purpose of Li Ji running to find Li Xingzhi?

Zheng Yanqing was puzzled, so he put Yuan's Zhi together, walked to the bamboo window, and looked outside.

In early spring, the bamboo garden is green.

The moonlight is like washing, sprinkled on the green bamboo, like a layer of silver frost. The forest was very quiet, Zheng Yanqing put on a robe, with a thin waist and four eyes, walked out of the bamboo building, and walked in the forest. When I walked to the back end of the bamboo forest, I vaguely saw a person standing there. Yan Qing hurriedly walked over, with a thin waist and four eyes, also outflanked from both sides.

It's been half a year younger, and the thin waist and four eyes have grown a lot.

Although it can't be hunted alone, it already has a bit of a mastiff's fierce surname.

The man heard the sound and hurriedly turned around.

"Brother Xu?"

Zheng Yanqing recognized at a glance that that person was Xu Shiji. So he hurriedly recalled his thin waist and four eyes, and walked to Xu Shiji.

"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Xu Shiji smiled, "I can't sleep, so I came out for a walk." ”

"Brother Xu, do you have something on your mind?"

Zheng Yanqing could see that Xu Shiji seemed worried.

Xu Shiji sat down on a bamboo barrage. This bamboo fence is about the thickness of an arm's arm, and it sits horizontally on the edge of the bamboo forest. It was also the beginning that there were many horses in the bamboo garden, and Yan Qing was worried that the war horses would run out, so he set up a bamboo fence at the edge of the bamboo forest. Waist-high, sitting on it, you can see the flowing water in the distance, listen to the whimper of the flowing water, and gradually become a scene.

"Yan Qing, now that you have the background of a cloud cavalry captain, and you have entered the Thunderbolt Hall, your achievements are limitless.

But I ...... In another month, I will enter the official school test, I heard that this year, many children of official eunuchs are also going to enter the official school, I have no bottom in my heart! ”

Indeed, this year's government-school test is much more intense than in previous years.

With the large-scale relocation of Chang'an courtiers to Luoyang, the pressure on Luoyang's official education increased sharply. Yan Qing had heard that during the Renshou period, Luoyang's official school was almost twenty into one. This year, according to statistics, it is close to 150 into one, and the difficulty has increased by more than seven times. It's no wonder that Xu Shiji is worried, in this case, it is very difficult for him to go to school. If you don't get it right, you will be squeezed down by the children of a certain powerful family, and it will be a failure.

He came to the Zheng family and came to Luoyang just to be able to enter the Luoyang official school.

If you can't make progress, many of your previous efforts will be wasted. Zheng Yanqing also sat on the bamboo fence, and the two small mastiffs were crawling on the edge of the bamboo fence.

Yan Qing didn't know how to help Xu Shiji.

The son of this official eunuch, it is very easy for the court magnates to squeeze out Xu Shiji and give up a place.

"Why don't I ask the teacher to come forward in a while?"

Xu Shiji's eyes lit up first, but he immediately shook his head and said softly: "The general accepts you as a disciple, that is your blessing." If because of these things, the general has an opinion of you, won't it ruin your future?

Yanqing, you are smart, knowledgeable, and don't act recklessly.

It's easy for me to do it here, if I really can't get into Luoyang official school, then go home. Dad is also old, and he was thinking about it some time ago, saying that he wanted to leave Lihu and settle down in Huaxian County. He also has a lot of ways in Huaxian County, and when the time comes, I will enter the official school of Huaxian County. In fact, whether it is Luoyang official school or Huaxian official school, the gap is not too big! ”

Not much of a gap?

Zheng Yanqing would not believe Xu Shiji's statement.

The gap between Luoyang's official school and Huaxian's official school can only get bigger and bigger...... One is a school in a local county, and the other is a Yanjing school. Whether it is in terms of status or vision and connections, the people who have come out of the official schools in Luoyang and Chang'an, whether they have opportunities or connections, are far from being comparable to local government students.

Luoyang determined that the possible surnames of the eastern capital are getting bigger and bigger, and the gap with Chang'an is getting smaller and smaller, and the gap with the local government is ...... Zheng Yanqing stretched out his hand and hugged Xu Shiji's shoulder, "Brother Xu, don't think too much, you will mess up your mind." In my opinion, you may have a very big surname when you are admitted to the official school, and even if you fail, it is not your crime, and you will go home and continue to study. I am born to be useful, so why stick to the government school? At least your tactics are far superior to mine. ”

Xu Shiji muttered: "Is it necessary for me to be useful?" ”

He suddenly lifted his spirits, jumped down from the bamboo railing, turned his head and smiled: "Hearing you say this, I feel much more comfortable."

It doesn't matter what his result is, he will take the test first. It's amazing to go home, there's a lot of stuff waiting for me to do anyway......"

Seeing that Xu Shiji let go of his mood, Zheng Yanqing also smiled happily.

The two of them were on the edge of the bamboo forest, giggling and talking. The moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, pulling the shadows of the two longer and longer......―――――――――――――――――――――――――― Fang Yanqian really took action!

While he began to rectify the exiles in Luoyang, he also dealt a fierce blow to the children of the powerful people in the village. In just three days, Fang Yanqian arrested seventeen children of powerful people who were rampant and domineering in Lifang, which caused all the wealthy families in Luoyang to be frightened and warn their children not to act recklessly. But to be honest, Zheng Yanqing is not very optimistic about Fang Yanqian's behavior. In his opinion, Fang Yanqian is hitting a stone with an egg, and when Yang Guang returns to the capital, that is, when he is unlucky.

Yang Guang is not in Luoyang now, as Henan Yin, he naturally holds great power, and no one dares to provoke him.

But if Yang Guang comes back, will Yang Guang be able to withstand the pressure of the major families? If you can't bear it, you can only push Fang Yanqian out as a scapegoat in the end.

People who are drunk and sober often don't end well.

Zheng Yanqing thought about it for a long time and decided to write a letter to Fang Yanqian, wanting to persuade him.

But Fang Yanqian's reply to him was the song "Lime Yin" that Yanqing gave to Fang Yanqian. And said in the letter: Xiaoyou is my confidant, and I understand your kindness! But the food of the king, for the king to share the worries. His Majesty's repair of the Yongji Canal requires support from all quarters. As Henan Yin, I may not be able to help too much. But at least to ensure a stable Heluo for the emperor...... After the opening of the Tongji Canal, a large number of materials from the south were transported to Heluo, which made the important surnames in the Heluo area increase sharply. So, even if I am broken, I have to persevere!

Regarding Fang Yanqian's answer, Zheng Yanqing could only sigh for it.

Indeed, with the increase of important surnames in the Heluo area, law and order have also become chaotic.

With the opening of the Yongji Canal, a large number of materials were supplied by Heluo. If we fail to maintain stability in the Heluo area, it will indeed cause great trouble.

Between the words, Fang Yanqian did not seem to approve of the emperor's plan to repair the Yongji Canal.

But as a courtier, since the emperor has made up his mind, he can only be obedient and try his best to do things well.

Zheng Yanqing also didn't know whether the lime groan he made to win over Fang Xuanling was right or wrong...... Fortunately, ten days later, Zheng Yanqing apprenticed to Perak Hall, and there were no more accidents.

There were many people who went to watch the ceremony that day, in addition to the relatives, friends and clansmen of the eldest grandson, there were also Gongyu Wenshu of Puyang County who also came to congratulate.

From the heart, Yu Wenshu is an old man with good looks and demeanor.

Although he is old now, from his demeanor and appearance, you can still see the elegance of this person's early years. It's just that Yan Qing doesn't feel very good about this person! He couldn't tell whether it was because of his preconceived senses, or if it was really Yuwenshu who made him uncomfortable, in short, Yan Qing always felt that this person was yin.

However, Yan Qing did not show this mood in his expression.

On the contrary, he was respectful to Yuwen Shu and did not have any rudeness...... It is better to be a gentleman than to offend a villain. In Zheng Yanqing's eyes, Yuwenshu is almost equivalent to a villain! Moreover, he controls Si Litai, and he can be regarded as a person with more power among the ministers who stayed in Luoyang. There is no need for Zheng Yanqing to offend him.

"Yanqing, Po Yetou came to confess today!"

After the apprenticeship was over, the eldest grandson Sheng pulled Zheng Yanqing aside, "The previous rumors about you and the little lady of the Pei family were spread by his grandson Yuwen Chengtoe. Yu Wenshu had bowed his head to me just now to admit his mistake, and sent me a shadow bow to show his sincerity...... After thinking about it, I decided to take the matter. After all, the head of the broken field is dignified and county-like, and you can't compare. ”

Zheng Yanqing had already guessed that the conflict between him and Mai Zizhong was fueled by someone.

But he didn't expect it to be Yuwenshu's grandson...... It's no wonder that Yuwenshu was still in Chang'an at the time, so Zheng Yanqing didn't connect this matter with Yuwenshu.

The reason why Yu Wenshu came over to admit his mistake was probably due to the fact that Changsun Sheng exerted enough pressure on him.

"This picture is a good bow.

However, with your current abilities, you can't use it properly. Since you have entered my Thunderbolt Hall, this riding and archery is a compulsory lesson. I've got a one-stone bow for you to practice slowly. You can take this picture first! ”

Yan Qing once learned archery with Li Ji, and he can be regarded as having some foundation.

He took the hard bow and gently pulled it twice, feeling a little heavier. Don't look at this hard bow as only one stone, but take into account that one stone in the Sui and Tang dynasties was equal to four even, and one was equal to thirty catties, and one catty was almost 660 in later generations. If it is converted, a stone bow in the Sui Dynasty is a strength of one hundred and sixty catties. It is commonly used in the army, and it is this kind of one-stone hard bow.

According to the military system of the Sui Dynasty, military service will only be performed at the age of 21.

Yan Qing is only ten years old this year, but in terms of strength, he is already close to catching up with the strength of an ordinary adult.

"Teacher, how many stones is this painting?"

Changsun Sheng said with a smile: "The shadow is a four-stone strong bow, and it cannot be used by non-strong men." ”

Four stones?

Zheng Yanqing walked over, put a bronze ring on his finger, and gently pulled it, but saw that the bowstring did not move at all.

What a stiff bow! He was angry and dantian, and exerted all his strength, only to see the shadow of the painting creaze open.

But after only pulling it away once, Zheng Yanqing felt a burst of shortness of breath...... "Hehe, you barely open the bow once now, which is rare among your peers." But after you opened the bow, your palms were unsteady and your arms trembled. Don't say that you want to shoot the enemy, I'm afraid that if you shoot the bow once, you won't have the strength again! Take everything step by step and don't be in a hurry. When I'm your age, I'm afraid I can't compare to your strength. ”

"What is the force of the bow and arrow used by the teacher?"

"Two stones!"

Changsun Sheng's answer surprised Zheng Yanqing.

In his opinion, a character of Changsun Sheng's level is at least using a bow like a shadow. Unexpectedly, there were only two stone powers.

"It's not about the size, it's about using it properly."

Changsun Sheng smiled and patted Zheng Yanqing's head, "I see that you can exert your strength in the bow battle, and you must also know the ingenuity of this power, so I don't need to say more." Yu Juluo Yu Lao Zhu has infinite national strength and can open a six-stone strong bow.

But if he is on the field, he only talks about archery, and he has three arrows for his teacher, which is enough to take his surname......"

When he said this, Changsun Sheng's tone was filled with inexplicable pride. Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but secretly speak, this teacher, how dare you say it!

Since then, Zheng Yanqing's life has suddenly become compact.

Every day before dawn, he would get up to practice, and then ride to the copper camel workshop, and study the thirteen chapters of his grandson and the Han book with the eldest grandson Sheng at noon; At noon, he would stay at Perak Hall for dinner, and after lunch, he would go to Yuanbi City with Changsun Sheng to practice martial arts.

Changsun Sheng is known as the arrow and lance.

Not only is the archery exquisite, but also the marksmanship is superb. A horse lance can be said to be unsplashed with water.

Yan Qing once saw him compete with the strong warriors in the army, and in only two rounds, he swept the opponent off the horse.

But in private, Changsun Sheng told Zheng Yanqing: "If you talk about making a lance, you can't say it if you don't say it." He once created his own no-return gun and recruited people to take their surnames. Although General Tianbao studied under his disciples, he did not receive the true inheritance of the Yuzhu Kingdom. ”

Yan Qing was taken aback!

Of course, he knew who General Tianbao was talking about.

Yuwen Chengdu, that is the second hero of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the famous Yuwen Chengdu!

Such an awesome person, it's just a matter of learning under the Yujuluo sect, but he hasn't gotten the true biography of Yujuluo?

How powerful will it be?

"Why? Could it be that Yuzhu Kingdom doesn't like General Tianbao? ”

"That's not it, General Tianbao's qualifications are very good, and Yuzhu Kingdom also likes him very much. It's just that General Tianbao is born with great strength, and even the Yuzhu Kingdom can't compare to his strength. Therefore, the Yuzhu Kingdom taught General Tianbao that it could only be designed according to his characteristics. The no-return marksmanship is exquisite, but for General Tianbao, it is not very suitable for ......"

Zheng Yanqing was taught and nodded again and again.

"If you have the opportunity, I will introduce you to the Yuzhu Kingdom to learn the lance.

It would be a pity if his no-return marksmanship was lost...... However, if you want to learn a lance, you must have a good lance. It's a pity that after the disappearance of his master, no one can make a good lance like him. ”

Master Yan is Yan Hu.

Zheng Yanqing was almost about to ask about Yanhu, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back stiffly.

He can distinguish the importance clearly, there are some things, if he asks too explicitly, it will make Changsun Sheng suspicious.

Back then, the eldest Sun Sheng could intercede with Ning Changzhen and save Yanhu's surname.

But he may not be willing to keep Yanqing...... If you don't get it right, Zheng Yanqing will lose his surname because of this. Therefore, he can only hide the matter of Yanhu in his heart. silently looked for an opportunity, and then went to Changsun Sheng for verification.

On this day, Zheng Yanqing and Changsun Sheng finished practicing arrows in the army and broke up outside Youguang Gate.

Changsun Sheng lives on the north bank of Luoshui, and can enter the city from Hui'an Gate and return directly to Tonghufang; Zheng Yanqing, on the other hand, lives in Zhuyuan, and must cross the river and go southwest. After practicing all day, Yan Qing was also extremely tired. After crossing the river from the ferry, when he returned to the bamboo garden, it was already dark...... In the bamboo building, the lights are bright.

Zheng Yanqing turned over and dismounted, and saw Ma Sanbao hurriedly coming over, "Young master, someone from the Zheng Mansion seems to be in a hurry to see." ”

Political missions:

What is the first thing to do after being born again? Go play "Business Battle" and enjoy the most gorgeous second life from now on!
