The day after he was released from prison, Xionghai moved into the Orthodox Workshop.

But I could see that he seemed to be a little nervous. Standing under the porch of the central hall, he twisted around a little restrainedly, until Zheng Yanqing, dressed in a single suit, appeared from the end of the corridor, and he seemed to be a little more relaxed.

Last night, Xiong Sledgehammer said to him: "Da Heizi, you are not young, although there is no shortage of food for you at home, but stay here, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future." You don't know how to take care of business, you don't know how to socialize with people, and staying at home won't help your uncle. So, the uncle thought about it for a long time and decided to let you go to the Zheng family.

Qingwa'er will definitely become a great person in the future, he is your eldest brother, follow him, can your uncle rest assured. ”

For Zheng Yanqing, Xiong Dahai has always had a sense of respect and gratitude.

Therefore, let him follow Zheng Yanqing, and he has no opinion. However, Xiong Da Hammer told him a lot about Zheng Yanqing. Although Xiong Dahai's head is not bright, it is a little sluggish at most, and it can't get along with stupidity.

I didn't expect that the brother who was younger than him and lower than him would have such a big reputation.

Xiong Dahai couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He was afraid that if he didn't do well, or did something wrong, Zheng Yanqing would drive him back, and that would be a shame.

When Xiong Da Hammer and Zheng Shi'an were talking in the middle hall, Xiong Dahai couldn't help but feel uneasy.

However, when he saw Zheng Yanqing, his nervousness seemed to have weakened a lot. In the past year, Zheng Yanqing has visited him even more times than his family. Every time I see Yanqing, Xionghai will be very relaxed.

"Brother!"

He stepped forward to say hello innocently, but his voice was still a little astringent.

It turns out that this brother is an official, and he is also a great man...... Zheng Yanqing looked at Xiong Dahai suspiciously, and said, "Dahai, what are you doing standing here?" Coming by yourself? What about your uncle? ”

"Uncle is talking to Grandpa Zheng in the house."

"Oh!"

Of course, Zheng Yanqing knew that Xiong Dahai would come to the Zheng Mansion to follow him.

This is also something that he has known for a long time. So he patted Xiong Dahai's buttocks, and he stepped into the middle hall.

"Yanqing, you came just in time, your grandfather with a big hammer brought the sea."

"Oh, I see it!"

Zheng Yanqing saluted Zheng Shi'an first, then retreated behind Zheng Shi'an, and asked curiously, "Grandpa Xiong, what did you say to Da Heizi?" I saw that he was quite nervous, dangling outside. Hehe, don't scare him. ”

"I told him to listen to you, follow you well, and keep you safe.

If he gets into trouble, or if he is thrown back, I will not recognize him as a nephew again...... Qingwa'er, I will work hard for you in the future, and train this stupid boy well. Hit when you should beat, scold when you should scold, but don't be polite. ”

When Yan Qing heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"It's not that serious, the big black is pretty good.

What I taught him, I practiced very well...... Grandpa Xiong, you scared him. Hehe, I'll take him to settle down, and I'll let him and Shen Guang follow me in the future. Grandpa Xiong, don't worry, I will definitely treat the big black man well. ”

With Zheng Yanqing's words, Xiong Da Hammer seemed to be relieved.

So, Zheng Yanqing left the middle hall and took Xiong Dahai to his residence. Yanqing's residence is a reading courtyard in the back house. There are five main rooms, three side rooms, and a stable. There were four or five horses in the stables, but Jade Hoof was not here, but scattered in the garden behind the house, where Shen Guang had built a stable.

In addition to Zheng Yanqing, Duoduo and Xiao Nian each have a house.

The remaining two rooms were opened into one, which was Zheng Yanqing's study. Shen Guang occupied a side room, and Zheng Yanqing arranged Xiong Dahai in another side room. The other room, which has been turned into a residence with a thin waist and four eyes, is located next to the Moon Gate.

Zheng Yanqing introduced Xiong Dahai to everyone.

Then he said, "Big Black, you will live here from now on." Look at what is missing, and tell Xiao Nian. Go out and turn right, there is the back garden; To the left, there is a martial arts arena. I don't have any big rules here, just don't be too noisy. If you don't understand something, you can go to Brother Shen for advice...... Well, that's about it, you remember? ”

Xiong Dahai nodded, "Write it down." ”

"Big Black, what do you like to do in your daily life?"

"Well, nothing. In the past, when I was at home, I helped my uncle forge or deliver deliveries.

Later, in prison, there were even fewer things to do...... Usually it's just boxing, practicing the kung fu you taught me. ”

Such a good piece of material, it's a pity not to practice martial arts.

Duoduo looked at the male sea exposed, the two black thick and bulging muscles, and said softly: "Xiao Xiucai, it's better to let the big black learn martial arts well." In my opinion, he is not a material for reading, so it is better to let him concentrate on practicing martial arts.

Well, the dragon and tiger subjugation skill created by Grandpa Ha is quite suitable for his size, what do you think? ”

"Descending the dragon and subduing the tiger?"

Zheng Yanqing was surprised: "Is there any connection with the dragon descending skill you taught me before?" ”

Duoduo chuckled, "It's a big difference...... The Dragon Descending Gong is just a foundation-building skill. The skill of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger is different, it is the kung fu created by Gonggong Ha in the past ten years. It's not too complicated to practice, and I originally wanted to teach it to the Dharma Protector disciples. But since then, there has been no suitable candidate, so it has been kept with me. ”

If it is a kung fu created by a husky, it must be extraordinary.

You must know that Changsun Sheng has praised the husky's kung fu more than once, saying that he is worthy of the name of the world's number one master.

Alone, I'm afraid no one can compare to him.

This is also a big reason why Yang Guangmi ordered Fang Yanqian and Changsun Sheng to get rid of huskies. Just imagine, if such a person is alive, it will be the sword of Damocles hanging above Yang Guang's head, so that he will never be at peace.

"Big Heizi, then in the future, you will learn from Sister Duoduo."

Who knows, Xiong Dahai is quite reluctant, "Such a delicate little lady, I can knock her down with one finger." ”

"Don't be ashamed!"

When Duoduo heard this, she was immediately unhappy.

"Big black man, you look down on me, don't you?"

"I'm not looking down on you, you're so small, and you're so skinny......"

"Then do you dare to try it with me?"

"Well, why don't you dare to ...... But I'm afraid, you're so petite, wouldn't my brother be upset if I hurt you? ”

Zheng Yanqing and Shen Guang couldn't help laughing.

only smiled and blushed, "Okay, then I want to see who injured whom." ”

Duoduo is more real!

Zheng Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Duoduo had to compete with Xionghai alive or dead. In desperation, Yan Qing had no choice but to agree.

However, Shen Guang said softly: "Childe don't worry, in my opinion, Da Heizi is not the opponent of the little lady." ”

"Oh?"

"The little lady's basic skills are more solid than mine, and she is obviously guided by a master. In terms of strength, she is definitely not the opponent of the big black man, but if it is a competition, the two big black people may not be able to beat her. Don't forget, whose disciple she is. ”

Yes, although Duoduo is not a disciple of the husky, if the husky has not instructed her, Zheng Yanqing will not believe it. Moreover, with Duoduo's hard work, no matter how bad her level is, it is not much worse.

So, Zheng Yanqing brought Duoduo and Xiong Dahai to the martial arts arena.

"Brother Shen, what kind of weapon did you say to let him use with the head of the big black man?"

"In my opinion, it is not appropriate for him to use swords and guns. It's better to use a weapon that is clumsy and heavy.

The so-called one force will drop ten.

This guy has a lot of strength, and he doesn't need any skills to go to the field. As long as you dare to fight and kill, you are definitely a fierce general. ”

"Hmm!"

As soon as Zheng Yanqing was about to speak, he heard a pop in the audience, turned his head to look, but saw Xiong Dahai sitting on the ground, looking at Duoduo in surprise. He stood up abruptly and yelled, "This can't be...... If you play tricks, let's compare again. ”

As he spoke, he made a tiger pounce and rushed towards Duoduo.

Duoduo didn't panic, he staggered on the spot, put his slender hand on Xiong Dahai's arm, made a stumbling block under his feet, and his delicate body suddenly exerted his strength and leaned up. Xiong Dahai was unstable on his footing, and he gnawed on the mud with one mouth, and fell to the ground.

"Convincing or not?"

"Not convinced!"

"Then ...... again"

Yan Qing saw that Duoduo's skills were definitely above the majestic sea.

She used an internal trick similar to four or two thousand catties, which seemed to be gentle, but the trick concealed the murderous intention. Although the majestic sea is rough and uses the skills of strength. But for Duoduo, who has become energetic, it is obviously not at the same level.

He was dressed in a black half-arm shirt with a large belt tied around his waist.

Zheng Yanqing suddenly said, "Brother Shen, how about you let him learn the axe?" ”

"Chang Yue?" Shen Guang said: "That thing is very difficult to practice, it looks majestic, but it is difficult to practice." ”

"It's not a long axe, it's a double axe."

For some reason, Zheng Yanqing's mind came to the Black Whirlwind Li Kui in the Water Margin. Looking at the majestic sea in front of him, except that he does not have a beard like a steel needle, in terms of body shape and strength, he is stronger than Li Kui.

"The double axe is simpler and easier to practice."

Shen Guang nodded lightly, "But in this way, the big black man can only become a subordinate." Practice double axes, but if you can't do it well, you will be right away. ”

"Just take a step...... Look at his age, now that he is learning to ride, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be proficient. It's better to be a step-by-step. Hehe, this guy is going to the field, even if he is a step-by-step general, he is still unstoppable.

Well, use a double axe. Even his nickname I have in mind: Black Whirlwind. ”

"Well, that's a fitting name, louder than my nickname of 'Flesh Flying Fairy'. Childe is really powerful, and when he says it casually, he is far better than others. ”

Shen Guang nodded again and again, expressing his appreciation for this nickname, and gave Yan Qing a sycophant.

Zheng Yanqing scolded with a smile, looked up, but saw that Xiong Dahai was thrown out by Duoduo again. In just such a short period of effort, Xiong Dahai was thrown by Duoduo more than a dozen times. is also tied to his rough skin and thick flesh, if he changes people, even if these dozen heels can't break bones and tendons, it is not easy to stand up.

"Served, served, served!"

Xionghai lay on the ground and screamed repeatedly.

Mao Xiaonian giggled on the side, "Big Heizi, then you still promised to learn from Sister Duoduo?" ”

"Sister, I'm willing."

Xiong Dahai replied loudly.

It's just that he is older than Duoduo, but he is called Sister Duoduo, which makes Duoduo feel so embarrassed.

Zheng Yanqing got up with a smile, "Da Heizi, then from today onwards, you will practice martial arts with Duoduo, and you must listen to her orders."

I'll go to Grandpa Hammer and ask him to build you a weapon to handy.

Okay, now let's go wash up...... Grizzled and gray-faced, when Grandpa Xiong saw it for a while, he thought I had bullied you. ”

Xiong Dahai scratched his head and smiled innocently.

―――――――――――――――――――― just like that, Xiong Dahai is in the Zheng family, and he can be regarded as settling down.

The weather gradually cooled, just after the third day of October, after a light snow in Luoyang, the temperature dropped sharply and became extremely cold.

In previous years, braziers were used in mid-October.

However, in this year, just after the beginning of winter, braziers and fire ponds began to be used one after another, which also made the charcoal price in Luoyang rise rapidly. There are so many people who use charcoal that the business of charcoal sellers has become very prosperous.

Changsun Sheng's condition also worsened sharply after the beginning of winter.

When the autumn was crisp, Changsun Sheng's condition improved. There was even a time when you could practice arrows with hand-in-hand instructions.

Horse riding and dancing lance are obviously inadequate, including when teaching archery, it is mainly oral.

But looking at his situation at that time, it was indeed much better.

Even when Chao Yuanfang visited, he didn't think there would be a big problem. After that, Chao Yuanfang was ordered to go to Chang'an, compile the "Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases", and leave Luoyang. At that time, everyone thought that Changsun Sheng was about to get better and would soon be able to return to power.

However, a sudden light snow made Changsun Sheng fall ill all of a sudden, and he fell ill very suddenly.

So much so that everyone, including Mrs. Gao, was a little caught off guard. Yang Guang personally visited the house and ordered someone to bring Chao Yuanfang back from Chang'an. But it's too late...... According to Chao Yuanfang's statement: The general is suffering from an old illness this time. When the huskies were killed before, they had already injured the inner house. Now the temperature has dropped rapidly, making the cold penetrate into the bones, and the old diseases are aggravated. In addition, the general worked too much, so that he was terminally ill and difficult to treat.

The implication: he's dead!

"Madame, where are the children?"

When Changsun Sheng woke up from a coma, it was already the middle of the night.

There were three braziers in the room, and the charcoal was blazing, making the temperature in the room sweltering.

Mrs. Gao said softly: "Heng'an and Xing Lian said that they were tired, I let them go back to the room to rest...... Wuji is on Gao Jian's side, Guanyin has been with you for an afternoon, and she refuses to rest. Yan Qinggang coaxed her and went to sleep. ”

"Hasn't Yanqing left yet?"

Mrs. Gao's eyes were red, and she said softly, "Yanqing didn't leave." You have been in a coma for the past two days, and he has been staying in the house.

If he hadn't taken care of Guanyin and Wuji, I really don't know what the chaos would have been.

Ji Sheng, you have accepted a good apprentice. Even Pei Gong said hello, blessed...... In the past two days, he has really worked hard. ”

"...... the court"

"Don't talk about business. Your Majesty has entrusted the Empress to come and let you recuperate. The queen said, Your Majesty has temporarily removed you from the post of General of the Right Xiaowei, and at the same time transferred Wei Yunqi to take over your position. When you are well, you will be entrusted with important tasks...... The queen also said that His Majesty has recruited famous doctors from all over the world to come to Luoyang to treat you. ”

It can be seen that Yang Guang really cares about Changsun Sheng.

Changsun Sheng nodded, "If Wei Langjun takes over the right guard, I can rest assured!" ”

Wei Langjun is the nickname of Shi Wei Yunqi, the secretary of the book. This person was born in the Wei family of Jingzhao Gate Lord, and was a descendant of Wei Xiaokuan, a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was known for his intrigues. In the first year of the Great Cause, that is, in 605 AD, he captured more than 40,000 Khitan people without using a single soldier of the Sui Dynasty, and since then the Khitan people have been obedient and dare not have any dissent.

When Emperor Yang of Sui learned about it, he personally recommended him for the post of governing the book and serving the imperial history.

Whether it is in terms of the means of managing the army or the tactical thinking, Wei Yunqi is the most effective successor of Changsun Sheng.

Eldest Sun Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone that was pressing on his heart was also unloaded.

Your own body, your own clear.

Changsun Sheng knew very well in his heart that he might not be able to do it...... In fact, as early as two or three months ago, in order to kill the husky, he did not hesitate to attack the old disease, and forcibly performed thirteen consecutive arrows, which had injured the root. Later, after treatment, the injury was suppressed. But the sudden change in the weather caught him off guard, so that the injury broke out, typhoid fever into the bones, I am afraid that the gods will come, and they will not be able to revive him.

He lived for fifty-eight years and made great achievements.

There is even a proud protégé who endowed him with "Out of the Plug Poem": Now that there is a dragon city flying general, how dare Huma cross the mountain...... In this life, he no longer has any regrets!

The only two things that can't be let go: one is who will take over his position; The other is the future of his wife and children.

"Madam, if something happens to me, please keep in mind my two words."

When Mrs. Gao heard this, the general lost her color, "Husband, why do you say such ominous words?" ”

"Madam, my own family affairs, my own family knows ...... I have fought countless battles and killed countless people in my life, and I am lucky enough to die in the warm bed of my home. However, there are a few things that I am not worried about. Hengan is stubborn, Shude is selfish, and these two are unreliable.

Gao Jian is familiar with poetry and books, but he calculates a lot, and he only seeks utilitarianism in everything, and I am afraid it is difficult to rely on it.

Therefore, after I die, I can discuss with Yanqing more in case of trouble. Although the child is young, his thoughts and scheming are not weaker than Chengren. In my opinion, although His Majesty has a lot of disdain for him now, he has not experienced his thoughts. His future achievements are immeasurable...... Therefore, I want to entrust Guanyin to him, and I will take care of Wuji in the future. ”

Mrs. Gao was stunned for a moment, and then bowed her head and said: "Husband, rest assured, the concubine will not forget her husband, and I will say what I said today." ”

"Mrs. Fuxing will call Yanqing."

"Now?" Mrs. Gao said softly: "It's late, you just woke up, if you have anything to say, why don't you talk about it at dawn." ”

"Go and call him, I have something important to talk to him."

Mrs. Gao nodded, "Then I'll call him over." ”

Since the eldest grandson Sheng fell ill, Yan Qing has been staying in Perak Hall and has never returned home.

He had an intuition that Changsun Sheng's illness might not be able to survive this winter. He was worried that he would miss the last meeting with Changsun Sheng, so he stayed here for two days.

Not only because, Changsun Sheng is his mentor.

In fact, when you learn about the exploits established by Changsun Sheng, you will inevitably have admiration for him.

His achievements even far surpassed that of General Li Guang of the Han Dynasty.

is only because of his bloodline, so in later generations, it is far less loud than Li Guang. Most people don't even know the name Changsun Sheng. And more than half of those who know it are also because of his daughters and sons.

Even, few people know that the idiom of killing two birds with one stone comes from Changsun Sheng.

This person is strict with himself and lenient with others, which is exemplary. The longer Zheng Yanqing and Changsun Sheng came into contact with each other, the deeper they got to know him, the more they respected him. I was quite tired, so I hid in the wing room and took a nap. Hearing that Changsun Sheng was going to see him, Zheng Yanqing didn't say a word, and followed Mrs. Gao to go with him. Before entering the house, he stopped.

Dress up solemnly and wipe your face with snow to wash away the tiredness on your face.

After only these two actions, Mrs. Gao's good impression of him has increased a lot. She stood at the door with a smile, watching Yan Qing clean up, and then said softly: "Yan Qing, your master is waiting for you inside, you can go in by yourself." ”

Zheng Yanqing opened the door, walked into the bedroom, and then closed the door again.

"Yanqing, you're here!"

Zheng Yanqing sat down beside Changsun Sheng, "Teacher, how do you feel?" ”

"Hehe, that's good...... I heard that you haven't been back these days, and it's hard to greet guests and take care of Guanyin. ”

"One is a teacher, and a father for life, this is what a disciple should do, and he dares to say that he has hard work."

The smile on Changsun Sheng's face was even stronger.

He asked Zheng Yanqing about his homework again, and saw that he didn't pull it down, and his eyes were even more appreciative.

"Yanqing, do you remember what I told you last time?"

When Zheng Yanqing heard this, his face showed doubt, and he shook his head slightly, "Please forgive the teacher, the disciple can't remember it." ”

"Last time I was sick, I entrusted you with taking good care of Guanyin.

Now, I want to ask you again, if I really can't survive this time, are you willing to take care of Guanyin for my life? ”

Zheng Yanqing shuddered, and hurriedly turned over and knelt down: "Why did the teacher say such inauspicious words?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I just ask you, do you want to?"

Zheng Yanqing understands that the eldest grandson Sheng hopes that he will marry the eldest grandson Wujian as his wife in the future.

His mouth opened, and under the expectant and even more eager gaze of Changsun Sheng, he really couldn't find any excuse to shirk. Perhaps, he didn't want to look for it, and he couldn't bear to look for it...... "The disciple is willing!" ”

Changsun Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Guanyin's surname is weak, and I'm afraid that it will affect you a lot. She's a good boy, though...... I know about you and the little lady of the Pei family.

It stands to reason that intermarriage between clans was normal. But there is one thing, although Pei Shiju values your talent, he may not be willing to risk being suspicious of His Majesty, so he nodded and agreed. The Pei family, now like Zhongtian, Pei Ju and Pei Yun are all from the East, and this limelight is the same. And you, in the future, will be reused by His Majesty. If the Pei and Zheng families are combined, the impact will not only be unwilling for His Majesty to see, but even other families may not be able to agree.

If this is the case, not only for the Pei family, but also for you, there will be a catastrophe of death. ”

Zheng Yanqing nodded, "Disciple, understand." ”

Changsun Sheng is telling a fact.

The way of the emperor is the most important thing to pay attention to the word balance. In fact, not only the emperor, but also between and within the family, we must also pay attention to these two words.

Hugh looks at the intertwined ties between the world, but no one wants to see a family dominant.

If the Pei family, which is the strongest today, and the Zheng family, which may be the strongest in the future, are combined, what kind of results will they bring?

No one can tell...... However, let Yanqing just retreat like this, and he didn't quite agree.

For Pei Cuiyun, he can't say that he is in love, but he has a good impression. Among the women he knows, in addition to Pei Shuying, I am afraid that only Pei Cuiyun is left. At this point, Duoduo can't compare.

Changsun Sheng said softly: "However, if the little lady of the Pei family can sever the relationship with the Pei family, it doesn't matter. ”

As he said this, he winked at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of Changsun Sheng's words. He knew that Zheng Yanqing might not be able to give up Pei Cuiyun, so he and Pei Cuiyun were not hopeless. It's just that whether it can be done depends on Zheng Yanqing's means.

In these years, three wives and four concubines are common.

Changsun Sheng also knows that in the future, Yan Qing may not have only one wife.

The innocent surname of Wuji, coupled with his young age, may not be able to hook Yanqing's heart. Therefore, in order to give Wujian a support, Changsun Sheng didn't mind Zheng Yanqing and Pei Cuiyun. But the premise is that Pei Cuiyun wants to break away from the Pei family.

Pei Cuiyun loves Wujian very much and is a kind-hearted woman.

But if she has nothing to do with the Pei family, she is destined to fail to become Yanqing's main room.

Changsun Sheng's calculations are very deep, but whether he can succeed depends on Zheng Yanqing's means. Now, he wants to fight for a place for his daughter.

Although Zheng Yanqing also had scheming, he didn't expect that Changsun Sheng was calculating at this time.

He was feeling embarrassed and wanted to explain to Changsun Sheng. But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to explain them.

"Yanqing, go and get the scroll on the case."

Zheng Yanqing hurriedly stood up, walked to the bookcase, and picked up the scroll on it.

opened it, but it was the song "Out of the Stopper" that he gave to Changsun Sheng when he worshipped Chang Sun Sheng as his teacher. The eldest grandson Sheng framed it and often kept it by his side and cherished it very much.

Zheng Yanqing handed the scroll to Changsun Sheng's hand.

Changsun Sheng opened it, and after reading it silently, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He pressed the scroll to his chest and closed his eyes as if to reminisce. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Yanqing, I remember that when you wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you wrote a poem "Linjiang Immortal"? Hehe...... But I wonder if you can sing a song for me? ”

Yan Qing nodded and looked at the guqin placed in the corner of the room.

In the bamboo garden for five years, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are indispensable entertainment. But for Yan Qing, the deepest attainment is calligraphy, painting is second, chess strength is third, and in terms of music, the attainment is the worst, ranking last. But even though it's the worst, you can still play the piano and sing. Compared to those people, it is naturally not possible. If it's just for your own amusement, it's enough.

He set the guqin in place, sat behind it, and adjusted the strings.

Calm and calm, his fingers brushed the strings, and the sound of the piano sounded elegantly: "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes......"

Yan Qing sang with his neck, although his voice was immature, it was also quite charming.

"Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times."

Changsun Sheng closed his eyes and subconsciously hugged "Out of the Stopper". In the corners of his eyes, two muddy old tears rolled down, but there was a hint of satisfaction on his face.

"The white-haired fisherman is on the river, and he is used to seeing the autumn moon and spring breeze."

Outside the house, Mrs. Gao listened quietly, biting her red lips and showing a sad face.

"A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, how many things in ancient and modern times are ...... to laugh and talk about"

"Out of the Stopper", rolled to the ground from the arms of the eldest grandson Sheng, Zheng Yanqing's heart was colic, and in an instant, he couldn't help it, and two lines of tears came out of his eyes.

(To be continued)
