Chapter 183: Enlightenment
"Thank you for the general's grace of not killing-" After entering the mansion gate, Gongzi Wei actually knelt directly on the ground behind Wu Ming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The muffled sound of 'bang' overwhelmed the servants who were following him.
Stretched out his hand to help, but was gently pushed away by Gongzi.
"If you knew today, why bother in the first place. Childe wants to thank you, or thank you. It's he who wants to give Childe a way out, and it has nothing to do with Ben Jiang. Turning around, Wu Ming glanced at him expressionlessly, the words were not cold, but they were not kind.
When the words fell, he didn't reach out to pull Gongzi up, Wu Ming just turned around again and strode towards his bedroom.
In the corridor full of fallen leaves, Gongzi Wei looked at Wu Ming's figure for a long time, and his eyes showed helplessness and desolation.
Under the caress of the breeze, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. dragged two sparkling tears and dripped silently.
"Hey—" The servant on the side looked at the broken son, and let out a heartfelt sigh.
He had faintly heard about this, but what did he, a civilian, know about the matter in the deep wall and high courtyard? If you know, you can only assume that you don't know.
"Childe, the generals are far away, you better get up......"
The starry sky emitted a weak light. Silent bluestone path.
The old man walked to a side house with his son, although in this mansion, this house can only be a third-rate residence, but it is much better than the firewood house in King Hui's mouth.
"Here?" Looking at the door that was pushed open by the old man, Gongzi asked softly.
The difference from before is that he has lost the arrogance of the past, the natural arrogance, and talking to this old servant is just an ordinary communication of friends, and there is no longer that kind of arrogance, the frame of a big official.
"The general has already ordered that if the prince arrives, he will arrange for the prince to ......settle down here for the time being," the old man said respectfully.
It's just that before he could finish speaking, Gongzi Wei had already interrupted his words, "Thank you for staying here for some time, General." ”
As he spoke, Gongzi bowed deeply to the old man again, so respectful and respectful. But how lonely the figure under the moonlight is.
According to his identity, even if Wu Ming claims to be subordinate in front of Gongzi, it is not an exaggeration. Now Gongzi bows to a servant and considers himself to be subordinate.
In this situation, the elder of the family already had a faint feeling in his heart. What could be more rare than giving them an identity?
At this moment, the old family is even thinking. Who doesn't have a time when this man makes mistakes!
"Childe doesn't have to be like this, the general has explained. If Childe has something, just tell him. Stretching out his hand to help Gongzi up, the old man showed a melancholy face.
"The Xie family is old. I also ask the old man to thank the general. Deliberately staggered the old sad gaze. Gongzi lowered his head, and his words were full of remorse: "Please also ask the old man to bring him to the firewood room." From now on, the matter of chopping wood in the house will be handed over to you. As long as there is another stutter. ”
"Childe-"
The voice fell into the ears of the elder, which immediately made the old man a little anxious: "You, why are you doing this-"
"There is an old Lao family-" Lowering his head, Gongzi Wei arched his hand high again, and said undoubtedly.
……
In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was completely bright, Gongzi Wei was already waiting outside Wu Ming's bedroom.
Beside him, a full range of toiletries have been prepared, although the things of this era are simple, but Gongzi Wei has prepared all the things.
About half an hour later, the bedroom door creaked open. Wu Ming, who was dressed in a black suit, took a deep breath of fresh air, opened the door and walked out.
Outside, the first thing he saw was Gongzi kneeling on the side. From those hazy eyes, Wu Ming could see that Gongzi Wei didn't sleep well last night.
Of course, Wu Ming didn't know that Gongzi Wei stubbornly slept in the firewood room last night. If he knew, he would also know that Gongzi Wei definitely didn't sleep well.
In the scorching summer, although the night of Daliang is not so hot that people can't sleep, there will definitely be no shortage of mosquitoes in the firewood room. It's normal to not be able to sleep.
"Ask the General to wash up." As soon as he saw Wu Ming come out, Gongzi Wei picked up the wooden basin full of water.
This scene made Wu Ming a little surprised, but Gongzi Wei did this, which made Wu Ming feel disgusted the most.
Sometimes people are like that, once they have a bad opinion of someone. Whatever the other person does may be disgusted.
Ignoring Gongzi, Wu Ming didn't even say anything to him, and turned to leave.
In the open space in the center of the backyard, Wu Ming grabbed a Changge and played with it, although he was not in the army, this daily practice was indispensable.
It's just that this Changge is not suitable for Wu Ming, he wants to build a big knife in the future, which will be used by Guan Gong in the future.
But at the moment, there is no rush in the matter of weapons. And in terms of iron production, it is still rusty.
An hour later, the elder of the family came to the courtyard where Wu Ming practiced martial arts on time with a basin of water and washing things.
This is already a rule that Wu Ming has had since the first day he lived in this mansion.
"General, that son had to stay in the firewood room last night, no matter how much he persuaded him, he didn't listen-" After Wu Ming finished washing, the old man cleaned up his things and whispered.
"If he likes it, let him live in a firewood house." Wu Ming, who was about to leave, paused, turned his head and glanced at him suspiciously, and responded lightly.
"But this—wouldn't that be bad!"
"Will it? Childe likes it, and we don't have to do it, so we will do what Childe wants, and the other things to eat will be arranged according to the original food arrangements of the servants in the house. Let him solve the clothes or something, anyway, it's a hot day, and he can't die without clothes. ”
After flipping through the cold words, Wu Ming turned around and went directly to breakfast.
The old man was a little stunned at this moment.
Since Wu Ming entered the mansion, the food of the servants has also been improved, except for a few meat, the rest of the food is basically no different from Wu Ming.
And the food of the servants of the original house! I don't think Gongzi has ever seen that thing. I'm afraid that he won't be hungry enough to eat at all.
But since Wu Ming said it. The old man could only shake his head helplessly, and turned around and left with those things.
After breakfast, Wu Ming read the art of war in the study, and after encountering some things that were particularly practical in this era, Wu Ming also picked up a pen and flipped through it.
When he had more markings, he copied them bit by bit and put them on a new shelf, sometimes bringing them to the barracks' arsenal of war.
At noon, they drank tea by the pond in the backyard. If he had something to do, he would go out to run errands, and when he had nothing to do, he would lie down in the gazebo and take a nap.
In the afternoon, he read books and drank tea, and occasionally he would carefully consider the information sent by the army. At night, I went to bed early.
As for Gongzi, he didn't pay attention to it at all during this day.
Gongzi Wei never took the initiative to find Wu Ming after early morning, and only silently chopped dry firewood in the firewood room.
As for the food, the old man didn't dare to go against Wu Ming's intentions. When Childe Wei first saw those foods, they were indeed very tasteless. Even a dog, after being pampered, will develop an aversion to poor food.
Childe Wei naturally had difficulty swallowing the chestnut rice skin, dregs and other things in front of him. But he didn't scoff at it, and he didn't throw it on the ground in anger.
Instead, I tried to eat it. Although he ate it in the first bite, he retched directly, and in the end, his nose was full of tears and other things.
But he finally swallowed a little before he fell asleep at night.
In the early morning of the next day, Gongzi Wei was still waiting in front of Wu Ming's bedroom.
Wu Ming still sneered at this son, this time he didn't even look at it, and went directly to the martial arts training ground in the backyard.
And this time, Childe brought the washing things to the educational ground. Kneeling on one side, he quietly watched Wu Ming practice martial arts.
The long halberd played in Wu Ming's hands, and driven by the strong wind around him, Wu Ming would have a few fallen leaves to follow every step he took. If it weren't for the fact that the ground was paved with green bricks, I am afraid that it would have been full of dust all over the courtyard.
An hour later, the elder also brought the basin and other things. At this time, Gongzi Wei still looked obsessed, watching Wu Ming finish his last move.
When washing, Wu Ming still ignored Gongzi.
After Wu Ming left, the old man shook his head helplessly at Gongzi and didn't say anything. It seems that this boy has a little more stubbornness.
If persuasion is useless, why waste your tongue. Moreover, it was not the work of one of his servants who did it. The days went by like this.
Ten days passed in a hurry, and during this period, King Wei Hui did not look for Wu Ming, and Chen Zhen did not look for him.
Although life was arranged by Wu Ming himself, it was too monotonous after all.
On the eleventh day, Jin Yan sent soldiers here again.
According to what the soldier said.
Ling Tianxue had already started the business of Fengyue Tower in Xin'an City in Hedong. What is puzzling is that this guy is still an advertiser.
Five days earlier, he had spent a lot of money on novelists from all over the city to help with the propaganda, and one of the most powerful words in the city was.
Boss Fengyue Lou Ling is kind-hearted, has a lot of dealings with the general, and gives hundreds of gold to help the army.
As soon as these words came, some people even thought that this Fengyue Tower was opened by Wu Ming. With the reputation created by Wu Ming in Hedong, the wealthy merchants of the eleven cities in Hedong celebrated one after another, and the business was prosperous on the first day of opening, and it is said that the hundred gold sent to the army was recovered in only three days.
In the new Fengyue Building, in addition to some of the original things, there are some new things in this era, a dancing girl inside, a total of six people, is said to be able to dance swords.
However, these dancers are only sword dancers, and although they can accept the costumes pointed out by the guests, they will not sleep with other dancers.
Wealthy businessmen and magnates who often come here will order their favorite costumes, and two or three sword-dancing women will perform together with those ordinary dancing girls.
Today, there is already a complete set of proportions. Two sword-dancing women are paired with five ordinary dancing girls, and generally speaking, in this seven-person group, the sword-dancing women stage a scene of confrontation in the middle. It is precisely because of the cool and exposed clothes and soft posture that the strong woman style with a cold face has become the most attractive scene of this combination.
After all, women in this era have no status, weakness, obedience, weakness, and helplessness are the labels of contemporary women.
Especially in these turbulent times. This kind of woman is even more difficult to find. Some wealthy businessmen were even willing to exchange 100 gold for a night of spring breeze, but in the end they were rejected by Ling Tianxue.
Some wealthy businessmen even threatened not to come to Fengyue Tower for recreation anymore. But the problem is that they can't let go of their thoughts about those women in their hearts, and often they just say some angry words.
There was really no way, and even let the rest of the dancing girls wear the costumes of those sword-dancing women to have a bed with themselves.
Seeing this, Wu Ming couldn't help but admire this Ling Tianxue.
The hazy feeling of viewing flowers through the fog will make everyone who looks at the flowers eager to unravel the mystery fog. But often when the mystery is revealed, there are not many people who are really willing to stay and watch the flowers.
This is one of the reasons why the unattainable will always be in turmoil in the future.
It is not the first to sleep with the sword-dancing women, but it makes those rich merchants mingle with other women in the same clothes as if they were hungry. This is always a gluttonous trick, and it's really hard to get rid of
As for other things, to nothing. Everything in the army continued in an orderly manner, and the progress of the training was also smooth, and it was not far from Wu Ming's initial goal.
In addition, Shangfang in Wufeng Mountain has also sent the first arrows to the army, and according to the test, these arrows are fully qualified, and they are more powerful than before.
According to Zhang Meng's report from the town guard Shangfang, the initial mass production of iron arrows has begun, and the current daily production volume is about 3,000.
In addition, other iron weapons have also begun to be preliminarily built and experimented.
The other is the issue of learning in the military. During this time, everyone worked very hard, and the 30,000 soldiers who remained in the barracks had basically reached the preliminary standard.
The last point is still Liu Yun's business. She brought back some books on the art of war after the last time she went out.
But so far, she has not made any drastic moves. And he is also very attentive to the bow and arrow training in the army.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Wu Ming did not mention Liu Yun's matter again. The secret letter of reply was in addition to the training thing. In addition, it has increased the attention to the Fengyue Tower in Xin'ancheng.
Especially the matter of the sword-dancing woman inside. In this era, women who know swordsmanship must have a great background. Six women who knew how to do swordsmanship.
This is the most incomprehensible thing for Wu Ming now, but the secret letter sent by Jin Yan did not clearly state the identities of those women.
Wu Ming couldn't help but order Wu Ming to investigate.
