I stood for a while longer with the clay bowl out of sight, and then went to the courtyard of the servants to the west.

At this time, Qin Gu, the head of the house, was counting the fields handed over by the farmers in the house this month, and when he saw me entering the door with food, he hurriedly greeted me and saluted. I don't know what Wu Feng and the people in the house said after coming back this time, everyone is very respectful when they see me now.

"Don't be polite, Ah Shi can't stand it." I put the things on the table, helped the housekeeper and said, "I wanted to serve this minced meat to Si'er, but she refused, so I thought about it and sent it here." She is afraid that she will not eat in the next two days, and she will ask the housekeeper to watch her more, so as not to have an accident. ”

Qin Gu didn't understand a little, so I told me about my agreement with Si'er, and he immediately nodded after listening to it: "This time it was all her own trouble, and I thanked the noble girl for her." ”

"I'm tired of the housekeeper, then I'll go back now, I'm afraid that the head of the house will be unhappy if I find out about it. By the way, can you invite Gong Shixi to come to my yard tomorrow, I have something I want to ask him. ”

"No, don't worry, noble girl."

"Then I'll go first, don't send it." After saying that, I turned around and left Qin Gu's house.

People say that things are changeable, but nine years ago, although I was only four years old, I helped the cypress woman to pack her clothes room by room, and when the clothes were folded high, she always wrestled. Now, the stone that tripped me is still in place, and I have become a noblewoman in the mouth of the housekeeper. It's just that I don't know if this change is fortunate or unfortunate for me.

When I returned to the courtyard and found the door wide open, I had a bad feeling in my heart. Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Wu Feng sitting on the bed with a calm face, I coughed lightly, lowered my head and moved to sit next to him.

"Why did the general come back from the palace so quickly?" I whispered.

"What, do you think I'm coming back too early, or don't you want to see me?" There was a hint of anger in Wu Feng's voice, and I hurriedly looked up to explain, but I saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was simply deliberately scaring me.

"There is nothing important today, so after the audience with the king, I immediately rushed back to accompany you, the patient. Who would have thought, my child is busier than me. Did I go out with my front foot and you slipped out with my back foot? ”

"I'm going to see Si'er. After lying down for so long, my waist was sore. ”

"Now that it's all right, come to the study tomorrow to accompany me! In the past few days, there have been a lot of secret reports from the Jin Kingdom, and I was about to show you. Wu Feng lifted off his robe and stood up.

"Can you hold off for another day?" I hurriedly followed him to his feet.

"What, what else are you uncomfortable with?" He reached out and touched my forehead.

"It's not." I didn't dare to hide it from him, so I told me that I wanted to practice martial arts.

Wu Feng chuckled, grabbed my shoulder and said, "I haven't heard of a woman learning kung fu. No matter how bad I am, I can still protect you alone. ”

"I know the general will protect me, but if I encounter any danger in the future, at least you will have to come to save me, right?"

Wu Feng was silent, he looked down at me and said, "Fist and foot kung fu can't be practiced in a year and a half. Moreover, women's strength is not as good as that of men, and hand-to-hand combat is not dominant. Tomorrow, I'll ask Gong Shixi to take you to the armory to have a look, or find a good weapon to defend yourself! ”

"Really? Did the general agree with me to practice martial arts? General Xie! "The little lark hidden in my heart jumped into the sky the moment Wu Feng nodded. I grabbed his hand and screamed and jumped with joy. This time, Wu Feng did not shake off my hand, but held it tightly.

The armory of the General's Mansion was built on the west side of the academy grounds, and early in the morning, more than two dozen soldiers practiced martial arts there.

"Gong Shixi, what are the weapons in their hands?"

"That's a halberd, also known as a crescent blade. The soldiers here are only used for the purpose of guarding the courtyard, so they do not practice the halberds on the battlefield. ”

I have seen in the handscroll written by Wu Feng that the halberds of the Qin State are much longer than those of the other countries, so they can stab the enemy more easily on the battlefield. However, this halberd is short and strong, and there are sharp edges and curved hooks on the blade, which is very suitable for nursing homes.

"Noble girl, this is the armory of the General's Mansion. Do you see if there is one that agrees? Gong Shixi opened the door and turned sideways to let me in.

The so-called armory looked like an ordinary rammed earth house from the outside, but as soon as I stepped into the house, I couldn't help but exclaim. The four earthen walls of this room were covered with all kinds of long and short weapons, and I could not even name most of them, so I was not in a hurry to choose weapons, but asked Gong Shixi for advice.

"This spear looks so strange, it looks like it's tied to a stick." I pointed to a strangely shaped spear.

"The noble girl is smart, and this spear is called the Tiger Tooth Spear. The ridge of the blade is raised, and the two sides of the ridge are slightly sunken to ventilate, which is in the shape of a tiger's tooth, hence the name. ”

"Gongshi, there's no one here, you better call me Ah Shi! Then you and I will be at ease. After I finished speaking, I pointed to a long halberd on the wall and asked Gong Shixi, "This halberd can also be used to kill enemies?" Why are you still hanging feathers? ”

Seeing my disdain for that weapon, Gong Shixi couldn't help but smile and said: "This is the Feather Ling Halberd, which is used by ordinary martial arts practitioners, not to kill the enemy, but to have a momentum in the dancing style." ”

"The world only says that women love beauty, and it seems that men are the same. However, Ah Shi doesn't like gorgeous things, can the princess get me a more rustic sword? ”

"No!" Gong Shixi raised his hand and saluted, turned around and took down a bronze long sword from the wall, but when he handed it to me, his face was embarrassed: "Ah Shi, this bronze sword has a lot of weight, you don't say you want to dance, just hold it with one hand, and your arm will be numb in a few moments." Why don't I try it out for you first? ”

"It's okay, arm strength can always be trained, you let me try it first!" I stretched out my hand to take the long sword in Gong Shixi's hand, and I wanted to dance two tricks like the general when he practiced swords on weekdays, but I didn't expect that as soon as the sword arrived, the tip of the sword hit the ground and almost punctured my foot.

Oh my God, this sword is too heavy! With my strength, even if I practice for seven or eight years, I can't become a swordsman if I train my arms to be as thick as Gong Shixi! No wonder Wu Feng agreed to me so easily yesterday, it seems that he had expected today's situation a long time ago. "Gongshi, how many swordsmen are there among the disciples of the General's Mansion?" I handed the sword back to Gong Shixi in frustration.

Gong Shixi turned around and hung the bronze sword on the wall again: "There are no less than forty swordsmen in the General's Mansion, and there are about ten of them at the top. ”

"Is that everybody able to dance this heavy sword?"

"Hahaha......" Gong Shixi couldn't help but laugh after hearing my question, "Ah Shi, the head of the family always praises you for your intelligence on weekdays, and Zhishi Ran also praises you, why did you ask such a question today?" Since he is a swordsman, he can naturally dance the sword, and this sword is not a heavy sword, and your Uncle Qin Meng's giant sword can be more than fifty catties (1). Look at this bronze axe, it weighs 100 catties, but Fuzhong Lux can easily lift it, rotate like flying, and make it impossible for the enemy to get close at all on the battlefield. ”

"Hey, don't talk about any bronze axes, besides short daggers, what other light weapons are there in this room?"

"Yes, yes."

"What?"

"Bow and arrow."

Gong Shixi took a curved bow from the wall and handed it to me: "This bow is different from Orion's wooden bow, it is made of six materials: dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer after two years. However, the only disadvantage is that the requirements for arm strength are extremely high, and you may not be able to pull it away. ”

General used ...... I stroked the smooth bow arm in my hand, and my heart suddenly rejoiced: "How should I use this bow?" Can the priest give Ah Shi a try? ”

"No! Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me. ”
