Chapter 231: Three Strange Men and a Handsome Little Girl
Chapter 231: Three Strange Men and a Handsome Chick
Fang Xie was the most special person in the Martial Arts Academy, and he rarely appeared in the classroom where he was supposed to appear. For this matter, Professor Mo has become accustomed to everything. He knew that he had not forgiven himself, after all, the incident on Half Moon Mountain had indeed happened because of him.
So when he saw Fang Xie walking directly towards the library building instead of the classroom, what else could he do but shake his head and smile bitterly? He is a professor at the Academy of Martial Arts, and he can't let him endlessly chase after a student's ass and confess. For the incident on Half Moon Mountain, Mo Wanwu hated but didn't regret it. If the students of the Martial Arts Academy can't even bear this setback, how will they lead the troops into battle in the future?
Early exposure to death is not necessarily a bad thing for students.
Of course, this is grossly unfair to the deceased.
After Fang Xie entered the library building, he sat down in his habitual place, by the window, and could see the scenery outside and the people coming and going. And it's a corner, remote and quiet. He can read a book calmly, or he can relax and meditate with his eyes closed. Since the last time Marilian saw him spit out dozens of worms, Fang Xie hadn't met her in the library again.
For this change in Ma Lilian, Fang Xie didn't care at all. He and that girl would not have had anything to do with each other, and she had never entered Fang Jie's heart.
Wanjiantang Sword Record has been read, and the things recorded in this book are fragmentary and not comprehensive. However, Fang Xie summed up a few sword techniques based on the sharp sword moves in it, and when he practiced in private, he felt that it should be very effective. Fang Xie was born in the border army, and he has been used to fighting since he was a child. So his requirements for the move are extremely simple, that is, direct and fast. Simple and straightforward, kill the enemy with one sword.
Xie Fuyao demonstrated to him the Liangyi swordsmanship of Wudang Mountain, but he didn't like this kind of immortal routine. If it is a duel between people in the rivers and lakes, this kind of elegant and fluttering sword moves are indeed effective. can be placed in front of the two armies, this sword technique is meaningless. Even the swordsmanship masters of the world can't dance among the hosts.
The books Fang Xie has been reading in the past few days are all about how to practice, and they can be found in the basic chapters of cultivation in several major sects. It's basically the same, and everything is the same. Fang Xie tried to invoke the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that he could perceive, although there had been some progress in the past few days, it still had no effect on the actual combat. After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Fang Xie suddenly realized that he had been thinking in the wrong direction at the beginning.
Ever since he could sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, he wanted to be able to kill enemies from a distance like a cultivator. But the pitiful and thin vitality he could perceive was useless at all. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly thought that in this realm, if he could mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, it would already be a great success. After all, he is still the best at hand-to-hand combat, which is the most important thing to consider now.
Knowing this, Fang Xie began to try to let the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi he perceived enter his fist. He didn't have a sea of qi, so he couldn't store his vitality in the sea of dantian qi. But it can concentrate the vitality at one point, although it is weak, but it should be somewhat helpful for the offensive.
Originally, his physical body was extremely strong, and if he could mobilize the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi again, his attack power would definitely increase. This is a very bold attempt, he is not to incorporate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into the body Qi Sea, and then transform it into internal strength and melt into the limbs and bones. Instead, the vitality is condensed outside the body, as if an iron cover is added to the outside of the fist.
As soon as he thought of this method, Fang Xie tried to do it. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, he felt the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi floating outside his body, and tried to gather the Yuan Qi around his fist, but this attempt was a bit outrageous. So more than an hour later, there was still no progress in the solution.
He looked at the sun outside and knew that it was nearly noon. So he got up and left, and after greeting the old man, he went directly to the horse farm and fed the red horse fodder. Just as he was about to leave for the cafeteria to eat, he suddenly saw a groom carrying a bucket winking at him. It wasn't because his eyes were uncomfortable that he blinked, but it was an obvious idea to get a solution.
Fang Xie looked around, and found that he was indeed winking at himself, and then said to the horseman: "Should my red horse pull out more and run?" It looks like the fat ones can't run anymore. ”
The horseman smiled and said loudly: "It doesn't matter, this is a famous breed in Northern Liaodi, no matter how fat it is, it can gallop like a fly, just pull out the lu and run a lap, and you can recover." ”
He walked to Fang Xie and added water to the red horse: "You can't go to that courtyard in the east twenty-six, there is an ambush in it." The father-in-law already knew the place and sent someone to secretly check it, and now there are many masters in that place. In addition, after you go back, you go to the market to buy two people, and there is a conspicuous-looking teenager who will sell his body, and you also buy him back to be a scholar. As for who to buy, you will know when you arrive, and your father-in-law will allocate good hands for you. ”
After the horseman said this in a low voice, he laughed loudly: "Lord Xiaofang, you are so lucky, that is, it is extremely difficult for the generals of the imperial court to get a good horse in the Northern Liao Land. ”
Fang Xie also smiled: "Yes, my luck has always been good. ”
"What is Your Majesty's will?"
He asked in a low voice.
The horseman shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has no will, but my father-in-law asked me to tell Lord Xiaofang, don't be greedy, don't be impatient." ”
Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "Since my father-in-law cares so much, can I make another request." ”
"Lord Xiaofang, please speak."
"Don't you need money to buy people and buy books? If my father-in-law is willing to give me tens of thousands of taels of silver, I am even more grateful. ”
The groom was stunned for a moment, looking at Fang Xie as if he were looking at a monster.
"This ...... I will convey it on my behalf. ”
He said a word, and walked away with the bucket.
After the person disappeared, Fang Xie couldn't help frowning. It's so mysterious to meet in the Yanwu Academy, could it be that there are people in the Yanwu Academy who the emperor doesn't believe?
……
……
The sun left the martial arts academy slightly to the west, and found the place that the horseman said. This is a very large market, which is diametrically opposed to the market where Fang Xie went to find the butcher of Chungu. This is run by the government, and the people who come and go are all big merchants. At the innermost corner of the market is where the population trades.
Some of the slaves sold here were family members of convicted officials, who were reduced to slavery and sent to the market for sale. Part of it is that the family has difficulties that they can't cope with, so they can only sell themselves. There are also some people who were captured by the border army of the Great Sui from various parts of the frontier, and they were all barbarians who looked very different from the Central Plains.
In this population market, the highest prices are sold by the families of officials. Those who were implicated in the sins of their masters, but they were not so worried about finding work to do. The average rich man buys a human maid, and likes to pick these people the most. Because they know the rules, they are much better than buying barbarians. Moreover, the concubines and daughters of ordinary prisoners will be sold for extremely high prices. The merchants were rich but had a low status, and they could only find women from this place if they wanted to sleep in the official family. If you buy a prisoner's daughter or concubine to go back to fill the house, it is also a very face-saving thing.
The barbarians are generally bought by merchants to work as coolies, and they don't need to pay money, they just need to be full. These brutes are generally rough, but they are very powerful. Comptoirs like to buy such people, which can save a lot of money to hire Liba.
But there was no war in the Great Sui in recent years, and the number of barbarian slaves was not much, but there was no market. As long as a batch comes, it will generally be looted and gone, and it will be as easy to shoot as the families of those convicts.
In contrast, few people who had to sell themselves because of their own troubles rarely asked. Because the Sui people are already proud, no one will be cheap if they can't get over it. These people are not easy to buy back, and they are often a little arrogant.
It took Fang Xie half an hour to find this place, and he deliberately walked very slowly, but no one took the initiative to talk to him. This made him a little surprised, the horseman said that as long as he came, he would be able to recognize the person arranged by Su Buxing, but he didn't find anything halfway through. was looking for it, and met a seller of rock sugar gourds, Fang Xie sold two bunches of them. A bunch to eat by yourself, a bunch of wrapping is going to take back to Shen Tian Fan.
It was at this time that he saw the person he was looking for.
Three, standing next to each other.
One is a man with a big waist and a round waist, and there is a sign in front of him, which says one hundred taels of silver, and there is no need to talk about any less money. The other is a scholar, and the robe on his body has not been washed for many days, and it is ridiculously dirty. The weather was still cold, but he was holding a dilapidated folding fan in his hand, and there were five words written on the fan, but he asked for someone who was destined. Standing next to the scholar was the young man the groom said, but when he saw this young man, Fang Xie couldn't help but want to scold the street.
This was a dark, skinny teenager who made Fang Xie think of the African continent in an instant. It seems that he is fourteen or fifteen years old, and the young man in a torn leather jacket is winking at the other party. There were two silkworm-like snots hanging under his nose, which had already flowed to his mouth, but he could always suck them back miraculously.
The yellow hair was like a hen's nest in weeds. And this teenager is so thin that people don't want to take a second look, with a small body and a big head, and he is clearly a descendant of aliens and indigenous Africans.
Where did Su Fearless recruit these three guys?
That strong man was priced at a hundred taels of silver, even if he was a good coolie, who would pay a hundred taels of silver to buy him? Buying ten barbarian slaves is the price, which is much more than the work he does. That scholar, at first glance, is a model of powerlessness. It's obviously dirty, but its face is muddy and unstained. That black boy, buying it back should be useless except for disgusting himself to achieve the purpose of losing weight.
Although Fang Xie was a hundred unwilling, he still had to walk over.
He first looked at the strong man, frowned and asked, "Why do you think you are worth a hundred taels of silver?" ”
The strong man with a beard and a bush of black chest hair on his open chest turned into a twisted face, as if he was shy, hung his head and looked at his toes, and whispered: "I have strength, and I am skillful...... I bet all the big girls and little daughters-in-law in Chang'an City are not as beautiful as my female celebrity. ”
To prove it, he also took out a cloth bag from his clothes and opened it. Fang Xie found that there were various embroidery needles inside, the shortest of which was only about three or four centimeters, and the longest of which could be nearly a foot.
Fang Xie was disgusted by the strong man's twisting and wanted to vomit, and then looked at the black boy a lot more pleasing to the eye.
He asked the scholar again, "What is a destined person?" ”
The scholar raised his chin and said in a tone: "I am a scholar, although I have been reduced to selling myself, but I also have to find a scholarly family to work, I have thousands of furrows in my chest, and ordinary people naturally look down on it." Look at the son, you are also a scholar in this dress, so you naturally understand the integrity of a scholar. ”
"Speak Directly"
Fang Xie waved his hand to interrupt the scholar pantothenic acid.
"There must be meat for the ton!"
The scholar said categorically.
Fang Xie sighed, looked at the black boy and was about to open his mouth to ask. The boy raised his fists and beat his chest like a gorilla, and said very heroically: "I have a lot of strength! It's so big that you can't believe it! ”
He spat blood when he spoke, so Fang Xie nodded vigorously and said, "I believe you......"
On a long evening when the afterglow of the remnant sun pulled the shadows for a long time, Fang Xie led the three weirdos to flee quickly in the eyes of everyone in the population market looking like idiots. And when he returned to the shop, he found that he had a headache even more, because there was a girl standing at the door, it was Zhuang Die.
