By the time Yiran and Yelu arrived at Qiuyi's mansion, several tables had been spread out in the courtyard.

Yizhi saw Yiran coming from afar, hurriedly ran over, pulled her aside, and said, "I knew you were making trouble." I ask you, what evil words did you say to me before your father-in-law that day? I was taught a lesson by my father-in-law! ”

Yi Ran had already seen that the crooked purse he made was hanging on Qiu Yi's waist, and his mood suddenly improved halfway, he glanced at Qiu Yi and said, "What you did yourself, are you still afraid of what others will say?" Without waiting for Yizhi to answer, he pointed to a few people in the courtyard and asked, "I still see those people for the first time, why don't you introduce them?" ”

Of course, it is inconvenient to ask more questions in this public, so Qiu Yizhi had no choice but to follow Yiran's words and introduce Zhao Chengxiao and others, who had just recruited him, to Yiran one by one. Zhao Chengxiao has twenty or thirty people, and the big names are just vulgar names in the countryside such as cats and dogs, and the nicknames of the rivers and lakes are very majestic, either called "Nine-Tailed Dapeng" and "Iron-headed Jiao", or "Eight-armed Arhat" and "Blue-faced Ghost". These people have fierce faces, either a big scar on their faces, or they are covered with tattoos, if they walk on the market, the nearby passers-by are afraid that they are busy avoiding both sides, and the street shops may take the initiative to send filial piety.

However, the county lord of Yiran from Bohai liked these high-rollers the most, and when he saw their rough appearance, he felt that he was much closer than those sour scholars in the Central Plains, so he unceremoniously beckoned a few of them to sit down and drink.

Qiu Yi was overwhelmed by the wine, drank two bowls of wine, and then leaned back on the chair alone, quietly watching everyone feast and talk about wine.

After half of the wine, everyone was new to the Youyan army, so they took advantage of the wine to propose to show their skills in front of His Royal Highness Prince Yi. The martial arts of the soldiers in the army emphasize coordination and uniformity, Qiu Yizhi is very familiar, but he has never seen the kung fu of this heroic man on the rivers and lakes, and he readily agreed with a wave of his hand.

So these high-rollers took out their housekeeping skills one by one. There is a light achievement, and you can go to the house and uncover the tiles with a single jump; has the ability to have "iron head skills", and a bald head can open a stele and crack a stone; There are those who are proficient in hidden weapons, and can smash ten wine bowls with stones at the same time with a wave of their hands; There is also a hard body protector, and the knife and axe can't break half of its skin.

Qiu Yizhi was shocked when he saw it, thinking that if he had 10,000 soldiers under his command, even if there were only 3,000 such soldiers, then he would be able to dominate the world, so he hurriedly called Zhao Chengxiao and asked: "I don't know how long it will take to practice such kung fu?" ”

Zhao Chengxiao's face was dark, he was called Zhao Heizi since he was a child, and after drinking, his face was not flushed, and he replied: "If it weren't for the materials for natural martial arts, it would take twenty or thirty years to practice like this." And you see the one who plays hard qigong, that's Tongzigong, if he breaks his body, a needle will prick him......"

Qiu Yizhi listened, then he was relieved, and thought: This martial arts is so difficult to practice, no wonder there are no dynasties and dynasties who have not trained the army with miraculous skills, even if they invite martial arts masters to serve as teachers in the army, they only teach some of the most basic stick and sword kung fu.

Yiran on the side is the most competitive, arrogant, usually talking and fighting with Qiu Yi a few words, today I saw the Central Plains high-roller so showy, a sense of arrogance spontaneously arises, and the elbow gently poked Yelu beside him. Yelu knew the mind of his county lord, drank the wine bowl in his hand, stood up "Teng", and waved at everyone: "All the martial arts are strong, and the order is dazzling, and I also have no other ability, only great strength, and I want to learn from you." ”

All the high-rollers are veterans who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, of course, they can hear the implication in Yelu's mouth that they are just "flower fists and embroidered legs", and think that people who practice martial arts have the saying of "one force down ten meetings", and they can't help but rub their hands and are eager to try, wanting to embarrass this tartar.

Seeing that everyone was provoked by Yelu's words, he smiled and took out a small half fist-sized piece of dog's head gold from his sleeve, and said: "The Central Plains has a saying that the light says that you don't practice fake tricks, so let's do it, Yelu will compete with everyone to wrench the wrist, whoever wins, this piece of gold will belong to whom!" ”

More than 20 people at the table were originally from thieves, and when they saw such a large piece of gold, there was no one who was not impressed, and someone had already brought a table to try with Yelubi. I didn't think that this Lu was actually infinitely powerful, and there were eight or nine good hands in a row here, and there was no half of them that could make his wrist deflect by half a point.

Seeing that no one dared to challenge for a while, he arched his hands and said: "I agreed, thank you for your mercy, and I will also toast to Lu first!" "The people who have come forward to try each other are so ashamed that they are red-faced.

Ye Lu just picked up a bowl of wine that was poured to the full, and before he could raise his hand to drink it, he heard someone say loudly: "Wait! ”。 Although this voice is not loud, it is very strong, and it is also recklessly prestigious, it is Zhao Chengxiao who is standing there with a black face.

He didn't say much, walked straight to the table where he was trying his strength, set up a posture, and waited for Ye Lu to fight. Ye Lu saw it, a smile flashed across his face, half squatted opposite Zhao Chengxiao, stretched out his hand and clasped Zhao Chengxiao's right hand tightly, a little effort, as if pushing the mountain with his bare hands, there was no movement, thinking that this person was different, so he settled down to fight seriously.

The two of them concentrated their strength on their wrists, and the muscles on their arms were swollen and swollen. Here, Yelu's bearded square face was already red, and his eyes were round, as if he was about to spurt blood. Over there, Zhao Chengxiao's black face was tense as if it was about to crack, and the muscles on his cheekbones jumped and jumped, looking very hideous.

The crowd gathered around, looking intently and talking about it.

"I didn't expect our boss to be so powerful, why haven't I seen him show off before?"

"That's you're blind. Didn't you see it when it was on fire and 'Blinded Leopard'? The 'flower-eyed leopard' was so good at grabbing and straining that as soon as the boss turned around, he pinched him and pressed him to death in the mud, which ...... his strength."

"I see that the boss is also hanging, I just used the strength to breastfeed, and I didn't shake him to move."

"Just you? Widow Li's milk is big and round, and it takes effort to eat milk? Your little strength is not enough to give this tartar itching! ”

"You're not much better than me, looking at your anxious appearance just now, I can't wait to go up and bite that Hu man, right?"

…………

Yelu and Zhao Chengxiao competed with a cup of tea, and their hands were still tightly clasped together, and no one could help anyone. Everyone in the audience didn't know who would die in the end, so they gradually closed their mouths and watched intently. Qiu Yizhi, who was sitting on the side, didn't expect that his "Brother Zhao Hei" was born with divine power, no wonder he was able to become the leader of the cottage, no wonder he was able to face more than a dozen vicious family members in Zhao Fuyi's house without fear, so he also looked at the two of them attentively, and it seemed that even the sound of them gritting their teeth and blood vessels beating could be heard clearly.

Both sides of the table don't want to lose, Zhao Chengxiao has no intention of losing, the two of them are evenly matched like a tiger meeting a lion, but they can't be negligent, otherwise they will be swallowed by the opponent in one gulp.

When the stalemate was at a stalemate, there was a sudden "click", and the table under the elbows of Yelu and Zhao Chengxiao couldn't bear the force, shattered into a burst of firewood, and scattered to the ground. When the two saw it, they stood up straight at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, and said to each other:

"He's a good guy! I, Zhao Chengxiao, met you today! ”

"There are indeed heroes in the Central Plains! I'm also a friend of yours! ”

After that, each took a bowl of wine, drank it all, and smashed the bowl on the ground.

Everyone ate and drank until midnight, and the gate of Guangyang City had long been closed, and they couldn't go out of the city to find an inn to rest. Yiran went back to live in the palace, and Yelu also went to the residence of the palace to borrow. The rest of the people waited to see that the weather was not cold at night in summer, so they simply lay on the ground in the courtyard of Qiuyi's mansion on all fours and made do for the night.

Just after dawn the next day, there was a knock on the door. Ruishou opened the door and took a famous post, and went to the back hall to hand it to Qiu Yizhi. Yi Yi looked at it, it was the bookstore sent by Zhongli Kuang to review the classics of the Tianzun Sect, and the leader was a landing talent named Ruan Wenyuan, forty or fifty years old. This person was the same year as Zhongli Kuang's Xiang exam, and he couldn't get the first place in the exam several times, so he was invited by Zhongli Kuang to help with things.

This is a serious matter, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly got up, woke up the hangover and woke up the people, cleaned up the mess in the courtyard, and then invited the twelve or thirteen secretaries into the gate.

Qiu Yizhi returned the name card to Ruan Wenyuan and asked, "Mr. Ruan came from Master Zhongli, I don't know what advice he has about reviewing the cult classics?" ”

Ruan Wenyuan respectfully accepted the name card and said, "Mr. Zhongli is still the counselor by the prince's side, and he sent someone over yesterday to ask me to select a few capable scribes to assist His Highness in handling this errand. The students don't dare to slack off, and that's it, it's all up to His Highness to send them. But I don't know how many of these cult texts there are? ”

Yi Zhidao: "I am in a hurry and have not yet been counted, but the number of these classics, to say the least, is more than 5,000 volumes." After that, he asked Zhao Chengxiao to let the other party's books in the backyard all be moved.

This Ruan Wen far-sighted book number is really very large, rubbing a few goatees and saying: "Mr. Zhongli strictly ordered that in order to keep secrets, this matter must be handled in His Highness's mansion. But the bibliography is so huge, and these rooms in His Highness's mansion are ...... I'm afraid I'm overstretched......"

Qiu Yizhi's mansion is indeed not big, whether it is the area or the number of houses, that is, the level of the middle family in Guangyang City, what this book office says is also realistic. Yizhi listened and smiled: "This matter is easy. I'm going to go to the barracks and get some tarpaulin beams, and set up a few sheds in this courtyard, which I think will be enough. ”

Ruan Wenyuan listened, visually measured the area of the courtyard, and couldn't help but high-five and laughed: "This method is very good, if you do things in the house, you are afraid of the heat in this dog weather!" No wonder Mr. Zhongli always said that His Highness is resourceful! ”

"Hah! A person like Master Zhongli, who is so stern and mean, and who is not smiling, will even praise me behind my back. Qiu Yizhi was very happy when he thought about it, and he cheered up, so he asked Zhao Chengxiao and a few people to go to the barracks with him to carry the baggage.

Guangyang was originally a military camp fortress, and everyone didn't walk a few steps to the material warehouse. Qiu Yizhi and the military assistant who guarded the warehouse reported the purpose of the materials, and approved the slip like a dragon flying and a phoenix, and led people into the warehouse to carry things. Seeing that the newly made Youyan army clothes were neatly stacked on one side, Yizhi asked Zhao Chengxiao and the newly recruited brothers to change into them according to their body size, and from then on they would be regarded as soldiers in the Youyan army.

The people carried the necessary materials to the Akiyi Mansion and hurriedly erected their tents. Therefore, Qiu Yizhi and Ruan Wenyuan and other secretaries handled the matter of reviewing the cult classics here.

As for Zhao Chengxiao and others, Qiu Yizhi found a small idle barracks and let them live in it, and reported Youyan's military discipline, ordering them to practice every day, not to drink noisily, and to have a day off every ten days, and to go out of the city to drink and relax in the streets of the outer city.
