The prince was the first to leave the table, and the banquet dispersed.

Feng Ye and Xu Dehua said goodbye to everyone, and when they were about to walk out of Tianxiang Building, Xiao Rui stopped him: "Feng Zhuangyuan is a person who practices martial arts, I don't know if I am willing to learn a thing or two with him?" ”

Feng Ye smiled: "The students are honored. ”

Xu Dehua also wants to see the excitement together, he has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, but Feng Ye has practiced all the archery and horses, and he is just physically fit, but he is also an expert.

Xiao Rui seemed to see his thoughts, called a person next to him, and said, "Uncle Mu, it's hard for you to send Xu Chuanyu back to his residence." ”

Xu Dehua could only thank him and left with Uncle Mu first.

The place where Xiao Rui and Feng Ye learned martial arts was in the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

The eldest princess's mansion in the capital is actually the mansion of the Duke of Liang, which is very close to the Yanwang Mansion. The Xiao family is a double prince, after Xiao Ren was named the Duke of Liang, he wanted to open a mansion to live in another place, at that time Zhou Tong had just been crowned the county lord, the two were about to get married, Zhou Tong lived in the Yanwang Mansion, and the first emperor chose a house near the Yanwang Mansion and gave it to Xiao Ren.

Later, Zhou Tong sealed the princess, and Xiao Ren went to the northwest, the princess's mansion was built in Xi'an, and the first emperor wanted to give Zhou Tong another mansion in the capital, but Zhou Tong didn't want it, so the Liang Guogong Mansion was changed to the princess's mansion.

For more than 20 years, Xiao Ren and Zhou Tong have returned to Beijing every three years, and they have lived in this house, so the house is well organized and does not feel empty and deserted.

Unlike the Eldest Princess's Mansion in Xi'an, there are no officials, large and small, or even eunuchs, in this mansion in the capital.

When Feng Ye entered the door, he saw several people in his fifties and sixties, and two of them were disabled, Feng Ye always felt that their appearance seemed a little strange, seeing him look at those people, Xiao Rou on the side said, "Have you heard of the Tartar Army?" ”

Feng Ye immediately understood that the Tartar army of the old Yan King in the past made Hu Lu frightened, and later Zhou Tong led the only remaining remnants of the Tartar army to break through the siege and bloody Yanbei.

"They are ......" Most of these people are descendants of Han people and Tatars, so although their appearance is no different from Han people at first glance, but if you look closely, there is still a difference, so Feng Ye feels a little strange.

Xiao Rou nodded and said, "In that battle, there was not much left of the Tartar army, and the rest of the Tartar army all followed my mother to the pass." Later, when they were getting older, my mother asked their opinions, and if they wanted to go back to Yanbei to retire, they would go back, if they wanted to stay in the capital, and if they wanted to go to Xi'an, they would go to Xi'an. Now there are veterans of the Tartar Army in Beijing and Xi'an, but they have not returned to Yanbei. ”

When Feng Ye looked at those old men again, he couldn't help but be in awe.

At this time, a woman walked over and stood behind Xiao Rou, silently.

Xiao Rou said: "This is the second aunt, and Uncle Mu is the second aunt's father-in-law." ”

The woman known as the second aunt rolled her eyelids, her eyes lit up when she saw Feng Ye, she looked him up and down, and then she said to Xiao Rou: "The little white face is not kind, you should be careful." ”

Feng Ye was embarrassed and hurriedly turned his face away, but Xiao Rou laughed.

Later, Feng Ye learned that the woman who was called the second aunt by Xiao Rou was the second sister Jiang who grew up in the wolves in the legend.

The story of Princess Lintong is widely spread in Jiaoyang and Qingxu, and there is the legendary invulnerable Jiang Ermei in that story.

That day's competition, Feng Ye tried his best, but still failed to win, Xiao Rui patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your martial arts skills are good, your foundation is very solid, what you lack is actual combat experience." ”

Feng Ye felt the same way, and he even suspected that if they were not using a wooden sword today, but a real sword, Xiao Rui would have at least two chances to take his life.

His heart moved, and he asked, "Is the prince's martial arts from the true inheritance of the eldest princess?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Half and half, my mother taught me, and my father also taught me, but my kung fu to kill the enemy is inherited from my father, and these things that fight alone with you are indeed taught by my mother." ”

Feng Ye's heart sank, he remembered the death of his father and Yang Jinxuan, Zhou Tong was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, her strength and martial arts should not be as good as her current self, then she should win in skill and killing skills.

Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Rui thought that he was feeling sorry for himself, so he said: "You don't have to sigh to yourself, my mother is practicing the martial arts of killing." She suffered a lot when she was a child, and the reason why she practiced this kind of martial arts was just to protect herself. You and I were born in the peaceful years, and we have been cared for by our families since childhood, unless we go to the battlefield, there will be no life and death moments, and there are not many opportunities to fight alone, so there is no need to practice this kind of martial arts. ”

Feng Ye let out a long sigh of relief, he remembered that the eight-year-old Zhou Tong painted a flower face on the canal boat, just to escape.

And in this life, when he was eight years old, he was bouncing around in the yard, and A-Niang looked at him with a smile and handed him a bowl of mung bean soup.

So, the death of my father, the death of my uncle, and the entire Yang family......

Feng Ye asked: "Xiao Shizi, I want to join the army, join the Western Qin army, go to the border, kill the enemy, gallop on the battlefield, and drink the blood of Hu Lu." ”

"Oh? As far as I know, as your military champion, you can find a job in the Governor's Mansion or the Ministry of War of the Five Armies, stay in the capital, or you can go to the Beijing Health Division. Xiao Rui said as he peeked at Xiao Rou.

Xiao Rou looked excited as if she hadn't seen it: "Hey, do you want to go to Shubian?" Then you might as well go to Yanbei, I followed my grandmother to the border pass in Yanbei. In winter, put the roe deer meat into the snowdrift, can eat until the spring of the following year, the snow in Yanbei is not dirty at all, when you want to drink water, grab the snow and boil it in the pot, the water is clear and bright, and the snow in the northwest is different, the border pass in the northwest does not have these, when the wind is blowing, it is all soil, the eyes can not be opened, if you go further west, into the desert, maybe it will be buried in it. ”

What Xiao Rou said, Feng Ye heard for the first time.

He had read a lot of books and thought about going to the border to fight countless times, but he had never heard of any of these things.

He listened carefully to Xiao Rou's every word, Xiao Rui looked at him, then at his sister, and said: "Whether to go to the border or stay in the capital, whether to go to Yanbei or to the northwest, you can listen to Baozhang say that she has gone to more places than me, and has experienced a lot more than me, I will go to see if Uncle Mu has come back, you can talk." ”

When he walked to the Moon Cave Gate, Xiao Rui glanced at Second Sister Jiang, who was still standing behind Xiao Rou, and said, "Second Aunt, find out the plaster given by my mother." ”

Jiang Ermei glanced at him and didn't move.

Helpless, Xiao Rui had no choice but to leave.
