Chapter 123: Exercises on the Ridge
Zhang Shouzhong was speechless, and the eyes of both of them fell back to the short holy decree, and their faces were solemn.
"Some words may not be appropriate for me, but Jiang Zhou is not as unbearable as Master Zhang thinks now." Zhang Zhiyi said in a low voice, "The main strategy of the garrison is to preserve the strength, and the guerrilla bandits who are not too harmful will not be left alone for the time being, in case the Jin people come to loot again this autumn, then Jiangzhou is bound to become a checkpoint between the throats of the north and the south." ”
“…… Preferably yes. Zhang Shouzhong said in a low voice, he put away the holy decree with both hands, and sighed in a low voice, "Thank you Zhiyi for telling me this." ”
Zhang Zhiyi hurriedly shook his head, seeing that Zhang Shouzhong seemed to be leaving, he also stood up and said, "Lord Zhang, I came this time to bring you some special products from Jiangzhou, I originally wanted to send someone to your house during the day today, but I was afraid of being presumptuous......
"I appreciate this kindness—"
"It's all from the field, and it's not valuable." Zhang Zhiyi seemed to guess Zhang Shouzhong's refusal, and hurriedly defended, "There are small whitebait in the lake and Xinpei's young lotus root, I picked up some by the way, if Lord Zhang is unwilling to accept it, if you have leisure these days, you can also go to my post station, I let the master here make the dishes."
"This was not my idea, it was prepared by a few old people in the clan, and then asked me to bring ......"
Zhang Zhiyi's face was a little embarrassed, he was really not good at these excuses for receiving and giving gifts, so he had to move out a bunch of elders in the clan - this is also the truth.
However, this trick seemed to be quite effective, Zhang Shouzhong's face softened slightly, and he sighed softly, "Then tomorrow night, I'll go to the post station tomorrow night." ”
Zhang Zhiyi nodded happily.
Zhang Shouzhong looked preoccupied, and Zhang Zhiyi didn't want to delay any longer, so he got up and said goodbye. Zhang Shouzhong still personally sent him out of the door of the cabinet, and then he strode back.
There is something he hasn't mentioned to Zhang Zhiyi - last night, he discussed with Sun Beiji overnight, and transferred another 1,000 from the only 3,000 mausoleum guards, with horses and heavy weapons, and chased all the way north.
From Pingjing to Jiangzhou, it is actually a somewhat peaceful place.
Hundreds of miles north of Jiangzhou is Zhuozhou, where the city has been repeatedly broken—that area is the real place of chaos.
I only hope that the emperor can stay in Jiangzhou for a few more days, so that this extra team can catch up with him and protect the safety of the holy driver.
……
At night, Bai Ling climbed on the roof of her building early, nearly two quarters of an hour before Wei Ying came, but she was happy today, so she couldn't wait to come up and blow the wind.
She held the short knife in her hand, and the blade was out of her body - the blade was frosted, and even in the bright light it did not reflect the attention of the light. Bai Ling looked at the north, not knowing where Fourteen and Bai Yi were now, she really wanted to break free from all the shackles immediately and go to their side.
"It's early today." Wei Ying's voice sounded from behind him, Bai Ling turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Wei Ying with his hands behind him, stepping on the diagonal tile and walking towards him.
"Master Wei also came quite early."
"Don't come so early next time," Wei Ying moved his wrist, "The time I picked, that's all there to say." ”
"What...... What's the saying? ”
Wei Ying's eyes smiled into a slit, and he said in a slow voice, "You always have to get rid of those who are staring at you first." ”
Bai Ling laughed, "Are there many more?" ”
Wei Ying didn't answer, he walked up to Bai Ling's side and squatted down.
"Let's get started."
Bai Ling also stood up, and she walked to the other end of the ridge with a light movement.
After this period of practice, she didn't dare to say how much she had improved the skill of the short knife, but she had visibly improved her skills in walking on the roof.
Wei Ying taught only one way from beginning to end - the hand pulled out the short blade from the back waist, and then turned the wrist, and the waist and hip drove half of the body to take a step forward, with the shortest path and the fastest speed, and stabbed forward.
The left hand is practiced first, then the right hand, and in order to achieve a balance between the two hands, the former has to practice much more.
According to Wei Ying, "It's best to practice this while standing on the roofline, if you don't do it right, you will fall down, and you will know the kung fu in your hand at a glance before you get home, and you can't hide it." ”
After reaching his destination, he stopped and turned around, and began a single, repetitive assassination exercise.
At the beginning, she didn't dare to exert herself, but Wei Ying was really a not very polite master, he carried with him the black and white chess pieces that he had touched out of nowhere, and once Bai Ling made something wrong, he would throw a black or white chess piece over, and Bai Ling really suffered.
After several unsuccessful protests, she went out half annoyed and half afraid, and then fell. It's just that before she could scream, Wei Ying had already dodged behind her, grabbed her by the back collar, and brought her back to the top of the roof.
"Even if you say hello," Wei Ying's old voice said with a little smile, "Are you still afraid that the old man won't be able to catch you?" ”
After that, Bai Ling no longer flinched.
The assassination practice had always been done with gloves, and Wei Ying had told him several times at the beginning.
He told Bai Ling to be careful of the cocoons on the edge of his palms, and to peel off or grind off any of the cocoons if he found them growing.
The reason is very simple, there are many ears and eyes in Baihuaya, and I can't tell when someone will inadvertently find that Bai Ling has a cocoon in his palm. Once you meet a real insider, look at the place where your cocoon falls, and you will probably know what you have practiced on weekdays.
Bai Ling earnestly complied.
This wasn't the only practice that Bai Ling had, in fact, what Wei Ying asked her to do more than the assassination training on the roof was running.
The faster you run, the better, and the longer you can hold on, the better.
Also according to Wei Ying, when encountering a foreign enemy, there is no more effective means of self-defense than running away - especially when encountering bandits or beasts, you don't even need to outrun the bandits, as long as you run faster than others.
"Left-handed...... Wrists, already a little sore. Bai Ling panted, "Change your right hand?" ”
"Let's change it." Wei Ying sat not far away and cooked wine, "Don't be reluctant, people's wrists can't stand the reluctance." ”
Bai Ling changed his hand with the knife, but he didn't start practicing immediately, "Anyway, I have a question that I've wanted to ask for a long time. ”
"Huh?"
"I have always felt a little familiar with this move that Master Wei taught me." Bai Ling took a deep breath and raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Fourteen taught me a trick to grab a hand—"
Before Bai Ling finished speaking, Wei Ying had already laughed, "Yes, that's a variant." ”
No wonder...... Bai Ling took a deep breath, she thought for a moment, "Is it true that if I have practiced this trick well, I can practice other variants after that?" ”
Wei Ying pursed her lips and shook her head.
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, "Is Master Wei planning to let me practice only this trick all the time?"
