The scorching flames made the entire Luoyang City seem to have turned into a huge furnace.

As we enter May, the weather gets extra hot. In addition, since the beginning of summer, there has not been a drop of rain, and the temperature is surprisingly high. Although it is not as good as the three major furnace cities in later generations, it can be calculated carefully, this is also the hottest year since Yanqing's rebirth ten years ago. Just look at the sparse crowd on the street, you can see the clues.

Wealthy families either went into the mountains to escape the heat, or bought ice cubes and put them at home, which has lowered the temperature.

Ordinary people can't enjoy such treatment. But you can also have fun in the bitterness, or hide in the shade of the trees, or stroll along the banks of the Luoshui River. Although it is not much cool, at least you can feel a little cool, and your heart will be very comfortable.

Zheng Yanqing rode on the horse, and his expression was solemn under the fierce words.

The scorching heat didn't seem to affect him much. If it weren't for the fact that he was shirtless, sweating on his upper body, and refracting the light in the sun, from his calm expression, it really wouldn't make people feel how hot he was.

A forty-pound standard horse lance is in his hand.

Yan Qing held the reins in one hand and the lance in the other. He held the shaft of the lance two feet from the tail of the lance, and the head of the lance hung low, at an angle of about sixty degrees. The head of the stainless steel lance scorched and flickered in the bright sun, and the two-finger-wide blade showed a touch of cold light.

In front of him, there are ten wooden statues on the left and right.

Each statue is about five meters apart, with heavy pieces of iron tied to its legs, which have strengthened its chassis.

This is also the basic practice of learning the lance.

The lance has a basic move, and that is the stabbing strike.

Zheng Yanqing had to open his bow left and right in the process of running the horse for 20 meters, and stab ten wooden figures with the most basic stabbing movements. But it's not enough to just stab, you have to stab to be successful. At the end of one round, you have to stab at least five wooden pieces to qualify. Seven wooden figures are good, and if you can stab ten wooden figures in one turn, you are superior.

On the edge of the school field, Changsun Sheng stood under the pergola, his body straight, staring at Zheng Yanqing in the field.

"Little brother, come on!"

The eldest grandson waved his arms and cheered loudly for Yanqing.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side also looked like he was sweating. The round fat face was stained with sweat like a cat's face. Hearing the shout of the eldest grandson, he couldn't help but purse his lips and muttered softly: "Are you my sister or his sister?" When I was practicing just now, I didn't hear you shouting so vigorously. ”

The eldest grandson turned his face and said very seriously: "Of course I am your sister, but you never tell me stories......"

Mowgli's face is even more bitter!

"Let's go!"

As soon as the eldest grandson Sheng gave an order, he saw Zheng Yanqing knocking the horse's belly, and the jade hoof Xi Yuyu neighed violently, and ran wildly. Zheng Yanqing was on the horse, his body showed a very weak arc, his arm shook, he screamed violently in his mouth, and with a bang, he stabbed the first wooden figure to the ground. On the wooden man's chest, a flat sword hole about five centimeters deep appeared.

The horse lance hits the wooden man, and the slightest touch is returned.

An arc was drawn in Zheng Yanqing's hand, and it stabbed out sharply, stabbing at another wooden figure.

This time, however, the depth was insufficient to stab the wooden man down. Zheng Yanqing ignored it, and the slide of the horse lance brush in his hand hit the wooden man again, and the backhand was another stabbing blow, stabbing the third wooden man down. The horse lance whirred, and a sharp wind hung from it. Yan Qing's shot became faster and faster, more and more violent, and there was a piercing sound of breaking the air.

Twenty meters away, soon to the end.

Zheng Yanqing stabbed down six wooden figures, and the results were not bad.

He urged the horse to come to the pergola, Shen Guang and Ma Sanbao hurriedly walked up, one took the horse, and the other took the horse lance.

Yan Qing got off the horse, bowed to Changsun Sheng and said, "Teacher, the student has finished shooting, please give the teacher advice." ”

Overall, Changsun Sheng was quite satisfied with this result.

"Yanqing, since you have read the horse lance spectrum, you should know that the person who uses the lance is invincible, and one blow will be discharged. Although you have mastered the secret of clumsy strength, you are not proficient, and you still need to ponder the ingenuity of this strength. If you can become more proficient in the subtlety of strength, you can at least stab two more wooden figures after just one round. ”

The so-called force is unbeatable, and a blow will be discharged.

The general meaning is that the lance cannot be used with pure clumsy force, and the lance needs to be left with three points of strength, so as to ensure the roundness and continuity of the power. Zheng Yanqing also knows such a truth, but knowing and using it are two different things.

Changsun Sheng is a strict teacher, and he also has high requirements for Zheng Yanqing.

Otherwise, with his achievement of stabbing down six wooden figures, he can basically pass the test. But Changsun Sheng still asked him to continue practicing.

"Dad, it's too difficult to walk ten people."

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but hug Zheng Yanqing and said: "Your requirements for Yanqing are too strict, it is impossible to stab ten people." ”

The reason why he was aggrieved by Yanqing was not without reason.

Wuji just stabbed down three wooden people, which is a failing grade. If Yan Qing stabbed six people and didn't pass the test, wouldn't he be even more unsightly?

"Impossible?"

Changsun Sheng's face sank, and he motioned for the family to bring the war horse over.

I saw him fly up and straddle the horse, lift a horse lance, and rush to the wooden alley that had just been erected. The horse lance waved left and right, and one by one the wooden figures fell down. Changsun Sheng stabbed down the wooden man, which was a little different from Zheng Yanqing. Yan Qing came out of the lance, and there must be a sound after hitting the wooden man, and some wooden people had sawdust splashing on their chests, and cracks appeared.

The wooden man that Changsun Sheng knocked down did not make any sound.

Moreover, the depth of the wound is almost identical, and its ingenuity is by no means comparable to Zheng Yanqing.

After Changsun Sheng dismounted, he coughed lightly. Zheng Yanqing and Wuji ran over, helped the wooden man up, looked at the wound on the wooden man, and praised it.

"Daddy is amazing!"

Changsun Wujian took a wet towel and wiped the sweat that didn't exist for Changsun Sheng. The eldest grandson Sheng was smiling and seemed to enjoy his daughter's filial piety very much. I only saw that the eldest grandson Wuji pursed his lips and said softly: "Little fart." ”

"Brother, wipe your sweat."

The eldest grandson Wuji ran over with a towel, and the eldest grandson Wuji showed a satisfied smile and stretched out his hand.

Unbeknownst to him, Wuji ignored him directly, ran past Wuji, and handed the towel to Zheng Yanqing, who was smiling.

"Guanyin, what a good girl!"

Zheng Yanqing wiped the sweat and gently rubbed the innocent little head.

was so angry that Wuji's face turned red, and he ran back to the pergola in the laughter of Changsun Sheng, and fiercely took the towel handed by the general.

"If you take a lance as an example, it can be fatal only if it enters the body for seven points.

In the world, there are many famous people who make lances, each with its own self-defense skills. For example, Chi Luojia, the general of Zhouxi Town, has exquisite lance methods, and has practiced an ancestral method of avoiding lances; But if it is said that the lance makes the best, the fish is the strongest in the world today. He can knock out all ten wooden figures, and all of them are seven points into the body...... If you are stabbed by him, you will never survive. ”

"Zhou Xi Zhenjun, Yu Chi Luojia?"

It was the first time Zheng Yanqing had heard such a name, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Changsun Sheng nodded, "This person is the descendant of General Wei Pingdong Wei Chi, who is brave in killing and strong in martial arts. It's just his last name...... It's not too good, and it's very sleek. At the beginning of the emperor's reign, the emperor didn't like him very much, so he sent him to serve under Shi Wansui. However, I have heard that his body is not very well, and I am afraid that he will die soon. ”

"Alright, that's all for today."

After Changsun Sheng finished speaking, he stood up, "After you go back, you will be able to experience the wonder of strength...... But don't relax your practice of the art of war. After a while, I will study your art of war, and if you don't pass the test at that time, don't blame me for scolding. ”

Zheng Yanqing arched his hand and said: "The students will definitely live up to the high expectations of the teacher. ”

When Changsun Sheng left, Wuji immediately cheered.

"Little brother, tell me a story."

This little girl stayed here just to rob Zheng Yanqing and tell the story in the first place. Yanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly and glanced at Wuji.

And the eldest grandson Wuji showed a pleading look.

Please, don't tell this little girl all those weird things. Otherwise, she'll have to toss me again.

Yan Qing smiled and took Wuji's little hand, "Let's go, today the little brother will tell you a story about Nie Xiaoqian." ”

"Does it sound good?"

"It must sound good!"

"Is it scary?"

"Well, it's scary...... I don't know if Guanyin dares to listen. ”

Guanyin stared at her dark eyes, her little head kept dotting, she seemed to be afraid, but she was a little longing.

The eldest grandson Wuji slapped his forehead: It's over, I hope this girl doesn't scare me in the middle of the night!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Zheng Yanqing left Perak Hall, it was almost evening.

In the heat, there seems to be a little wind. But it didn't feel that cool, because the wind was also hot.

Yan Qing was wearing a thin green shirt and walked side by side with Shen Guangma Sanbao.

After Ma Sanbao completed the task assigned to him by Yan Qing, he returned to Luoyang. Now, he is also a person who is quite valued by Yanqing's side. On the one hand, he is really clever in doing things, and he is introduced by Li Ji, so he naturally wins Zheng Yanqing's trust.

The three of them walked slowly, and when they crossed the pontoon bridge in Yuanshi, someone suddenly blocked their way.

"Dare to ask, is it Zheng Gongzi?"

Yan Qing was stunned, he didn't know who came, so he nodded: "I'm Zheng Yanqing." ”

"My young lady, please tell me."

"Who is your young lady? Sorry, I don't know. Besides, it's getting late, and I'm really sorry to rush home. ”

"My young lady said that I must invite you over."

As he spoke, he held out his hand.

Shen Guang subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the knife and looked at the man vigilantly.

Yan Qing hurriedly waved his hand, signaling Shen Guang not to be nervous.

The man's palm had the word 'flower' written on it, and the other hand was spread out, holding a jade pendant with a lotus flower carved on it.

It's a flower!

Zheng Yanqing's heart couldn't help but move.

I remember that when I was in Yanshi, Duoduo said that I would see him again.

Could it be that she hasn't left Luoyang yet? Why is this stupid girl still in Luoyang, don't you know that there will be danger?

After Fang Yanqian turned to the method of appeasement to deal with the white-clothed Maitreya, he was already unaware, dug up several secret altars, and captured more than a dozen Maitreya disciples. In addition, Changsun Sheng and Yu Wenshu constantly put pressure on the Heluo area, which also made the living space of the white-clothed Maitreya become more and more narrow.

If this girl stays in Luoyang, she will be discovered if she doesn't keep it.

Yan Qing couldn't help frowning, and said softly: "In this way, I will go with you." ”

Then he said to Ma Sanbao: "Sanbao, you go back to the house and tell the old lady, just say that I have something to do tonight and will not eat at home." ”

Ma Sanbao agreed and urged the horse to leave.

"Brother Shen, come with me."

In contrast, Zheng Yanqing is still willing to believe in Shen Guang more. Not only is Shen Guang's martial arts strong, but he also has a friendship with him. Besides, his understanding of Shen Guang is far deeper than that of Ma Sanbao.

Shen Guang is not a big mouth!

Zheng Yanqing is very relieved about this.

The two of them followed the man and entered Fengdu by themselves. After a few circles in the alley, I soon came to a secluded backstreet in Fengdu. The three stopped in front of a small grocery store, and two people walked out of it, stopping Shen Guang.

"Zheng Gongzi, I'm really embarrassed, my young lady, I only saw Gongzi alone."

Zheng Yanqing frowned, feeling unhappy in his heart, "This is my personal companion." ”

"The younger ones know, but the eldest lady said that only the son will be allowed to go over."

"Since that's the case......" Zheng Yanqing glanced at Shen Guang, then turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to Shen Guang.

"Brother Shen, please wait here for a while."

Shen Guang nodded and said softly: "Childe, be careful, I don't think these people are good." ”

"I know!"

Yan Qing said, and followed the three subordinates into the grocery store. After passing through the back hall, the four of them came to a small courtyard.

"Qiqi Holy Maiden, Zheng Gongzi has arrived!"

"Invite him in."

That voice, which is all too familiar to Yan Qing, is the voice of Duoduo.

"Zheng Gongzi, please!"

Yan Qing took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pushed open the door. In the room, the lights were bright, and there was a table of wine and food.

Duo Duo stood in the center of the room, smiling delicately, looking at Yan Qing quietly.

"Xiao Xiucai, you're really here."

Zheng Yanqing smiled slightly, "It's Sister Duoduo's call, how dare Xiao Xiucai not come?" ”

In the past, when she was in the Zheng family, Duoduo always forced Zheng Yanqing to call her sister. At that time, Yanqing was still a little afraid of her. After all, in the face of a little girl who draws a knife at every turn, he still has concerns in his heart.

When did they start changing their names among themselves?

Zheng Yanqing can't remember! But he knew that on that murderous night, he began to like this girl and was willing to believe in her.

"Duoduo, you came to me, is there anything wrong?

Didn't I tell you not to stay in Luoyang anymore, it's dangerous...... Although the government has relaxed its suppression of you on the surface, in fact, it has not ignored you. It's really dangerous for you to stay here. ”

Looking at Yan Qing's solemn expression, Duoduo was very happy in her heart.

Recently, she has heard many scandals about Yanqing. Among them, it does not talk about the malicious slander of Qing and Pei's aunt and nephew...... Oh, it's malicious slander! At least in Duoduo's view, Zheng Yanqing is by no means the kind of person who has a heart for flowers.

"Xiao Xiucai, in fact, today, it's not that I'm looking for you, but someone wants to see you."

Sitting side by side with Yanqing, Duoduo hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I told Gonggong Ha everything you said." Father-in-law Ha said that he wanted to meet you and talk to you face to face. So, I'm going to ask you to come over. ”

"Grandpa Ha, huskies?"

Zheng Yanqing was shocked, but immediately calmed down.

Since Duoduo is also here, there must be no maliciousness in the husky.

Only, what is he going to talk to about himself? Zheng Yanqing was puzzled in his heart, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the door was opened......
