Chapter 57: Reason (2)
Ling Yuxin was surprised and asked, "Then I'...... What did I say to Empress Dowager Wei at that time, which would make her very angry? ”
Cui Han shook her head a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Miss, this slave can't help you remember, because the slave doesn't know what you said to Empress Dowager Wei." In fact, when you entered the palace earlier, most of the time you would not let the slave and maid avoid it, and you would not see the queen mother, but then you would let the slave stop in place every time you saw the Empress Dowager Wei, and then you went up by yourself, the slave and maid just saw that you were not as respectful to her as before, and sometimes even did not bow to her, and then every time she couldn't say a few words, she saw the Empress Dowager Wei with an angry face, and once the slave and maid also saw the Empress Dowager Wei She seemed to be so angry that she raised her hand directly to slap you, and the slave and maid were startled, She was about to rush forward, but I don't know what you said next, but instead of fighting, she left on her own in a huff. ”
Ling Yuxin was extremely surprised by what Cui Han said, but she felt that she was not impressed, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't find a clue.
Cui Han saw that Ling Yuxin was silent with a painstaking and meditative expression, so she comforted: "Miss, don't be sad, don't be in a hurry for a while, maybe you will remember it yourself after a while." Seeing that Ling Yuxin was still frowning, she changed the topic and said, "Miss, didn't you just say that you want us to learn martial arts, weapons, and formations?" ”
Ling Yuxin then remembered the main purpose of looking for Cui Han today, and secretly sighed that she was off topic, so she nodded hurriedly and said: "Oh, yes, look at me, I almost forgot about serious things, how can I talk about Empress Dowager Wei!" Where did we just go? ”
Cui Han couldn't help but laugh a little, and replied truthfully: "Just now the slave maid asked you why we want us to learn this, and then you asked the slave maid if she knew why there was a royal forest army outside, and then she said that there were assassins who wanted to kill you, and then the slave maid felt strange why the emperor sent Wei Chifeng to protect you, because she was the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Wei, and the Empress Dowager Wei didn't like you so much, how could her own brother do his best to protect you!" Then you asked the slave maid why the Empress Dowager Wei didn't like you, and then talked about the Empress Dowager Wei! After a pause, he added with some concern: "Miss, the slave really thinks that Wei Chifeng will definitely not do his best to protect you, you are in such a dangerous situation now, it is really unsafe to rely on one Wei Chifeng to protect you." ”
When Ling Yuxin heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "That's why I want you to learn martial arts, weapons, and formations!" Seeing that Cuihan was still at a loss, he continued to explain: "Actually, there are two reasons why I want you to learn this, one is to verify whether there are flaws and loopholes in the formation by letting you practice the formation, and the other is for the reason you just said, it is too unsafe to rely on a Wei Chifeng to protect me." I'm not saying that he won't do his best to protect me, I'm not sure about that yet, but one thing I know for sure is that he and his men alone are definitely not the opponents of the assassins who want to assassinate me, and if those assassins really want to kill me, Wei Chifeng and his men alone will definitely not be able to resist it, so I feel that we can't rely on him completely, but on ourselves. ”
Cui Han was even more puzzled, "On your own? ”
Ling Yuxin said seriously: "Yes, rely on ourselves to protect ourselves!" In other words, it is up to you to protect me and protect the Ling Mansion. ”
"We?" Cui Han looked incredulous.
"That's right, it's up to you. Bai Zhu is good at martial arts, and I'm also ......" When the words came to his mouth, he remembered that Xiao Yurui had told others not to tell others that he was teaching himself martial arts, so he immediately changed his words and said: "I am also learning martial arts with Bai Zhu," As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Bai Zhu looking at him with a surprised face, and hurriedly gave Bai Zhu a look.
Bai Zhu understood, and immediately nodded at Cui Han, who cast a puzzled look at him.
Ling Yuxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "But it's not enough for only the two of us to know martial arts, the few times I met the assassins, the assassins were not alone, they all appeared together, and what I know at the moment is only three-legged cat kung fu, which is completely insufficient for self-protection, so at present, it is equivalent to only Bai Zhu alone can really fight the enemy, but after all, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and it is really difficult to have a chance of winning with her alone." But if we can add the strength of so many people in the mansion, then the situation will be different, if all of you can know some martial arts, and then cooperate with weapons and formations, then we can completely rely on ourselves, and we no longer have to rely only on Wei Chifeng and his subordinates. ”
Cui Han glared at Ling Yuxin in disbelief, "Miss, do you mean that we can resist the assassins after learning martial arts, weapons, and formations?" ”
Ling Yuxin nodded affirmatively, "Of course, as long as you study hard, even if it is not enough to resist the assassins in a short period of time, you will at least be able to protect yourself." The group of assassins who came to assassinate me before, although the target was me, but they killed people on sight, and they didn't care whether the people they killed had anything to do with me, and no matter who they were, if one day, there were really assassins who broke into the mansion, then it is likely that each of you will be in danger. ”
The fear in Cui Han's eyes grew stronger.
Ling Yuxin struck while the iron was hot and continued: "I want you to learn some simple fist and foot kung fu and weapons, that is, I hope that in case you encounter bad people in the future, not only the assassins who come to assassinate me, but also other bad guys, then you can at least have the ability to protect yourself, as for the formation of troops, if you can learn it, then you can not only protect yourself at that time, but maybe you can also set up a formation to resist the enemy, protect me, protect my father, and protect Ling Mansion." ”
Cui Han still looked incredulous, "Miss, what do you say...... We...... Can it protect you, protect the master, and protect the Ling Mansion? ”
Ling Yuxin nodded affirmatively again, "Of course, as long as you can learn martial arts and weapons well, you can learn all the formations I taught you." ”
Seeing that Cui Han was still stunned with a look of suspicion and didn't speak, Ling Yuxin asked, "Cui Han, don't you believe me?" ”
Cui Han hurriedly said: "Of course not, Miss, how could the slave not believe you." After a pause, his face gradually showed a look of determination, "Okay, slave maid believe Miss, since you let us learn this, then we must study hard, Miss, when do you want us to start learning?" Where to study? Tell me what you do, and the slave will be responsible for informing you. ”
Ling Yuxin's face showed a look of joy, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Since most of you are free in the evening, then we will practice for an hour every evening, and practice in my yard, starting from this evening, when the time comes, you can just bring everyone here." ”
Cui Han nodded, "Okay, then the slave will go and inform everyone now." ”
"Hmm." Ling Yuxin smiled and nodded, suddenly remembering something, and then added, "But about the assassin assassinating me, you can know it yourself, I don't want too many people to know, so as not to spread the word and cause trouble, in fact, Uncle Quan didn't let you inquire more before, which is also the reason." ”
Cui Han immediately agreed, and then turned to leave.
After Cuihan disappeared out of sight, Bai Zhu asked Ling Yuxin: "Miss, why did you suddenly think of letting the maids in the mansion learn fist and foot kung fu, as well as weapons and arranging troops, what do you want to do?" ”
Ling Yuxin looked at Bai Zhu with a strange expression, "Why are you still asking the same question as Cui Han?" Didn't I already say it to Cui Han just now, firstly, I hope to verify whether there are any flaws and loopholes in the formation by letting them practice the formation, didn't I tell you before, I always feel that something is wrong in the evolution of the formation, but I can't find a problem, so I thought, if they can learn the formation and how to change, then I can determine whether there is something wrong through their actual transformation of the formation, and secondly, I hope that they will learn kung fu to defend themselves, if one day there is really an assassin breaking in, Although the target is me, based on what I have seen in these assassinations, they will not only target me, they will kill people when they see them, and those girls who have no power to restrain chickens will only have the share of being slaughtered! If they can learn some kung fu, they can have the power to parry, at least they can protect themselves, and if they can learn the weapons and formations well, and they can work together to fight the enemy in the future, then not only will they be able to protect themselves, maybe they will be able to help you, protect me, protect Lingfu. ”
Bai Zhu couldn't help muttering: "No, miss, the slave maid still thinks that the two reasons you just said are just to persuade Cui Han to agree to learn these reasons, you really think so!" ”
Ling Yuxin said seriously: "Of course it is, how can you think that this is just a reason I found to persuade Cui Han?" ”
Bai Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then confessed: "The slave thinks that what you said seems unlikely to be realized, so when I heard you say to Cui Han just now that as long as they learn martial arts, weapons and formations, they can set up a formation to resist the enemy, I thought you were deliberately exaggerating, in order to convince Cui Han!" After a pause, his face showed suspicion and surprise, "Miss, you don't really think that they can work together to fight the enemy and protect you, do you?" ”
"Why can't I think so? Baizhu, why do you think these are impossible to achieve? ”
Bai Zhu saw that Ling Yuxin's expression was extremely serious, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of joking, so he couldn't help but say: "Miss, it's not that you haven't seen the skills of those assassins, just take those assassins we met yesterday as an example, just rely on Cuihan them, not to mention that they can't practice much in a short period of time, even if they can really learn some kung fu, it is impossible to resist those assassins!" I'm afraid it's impossible to even protect yourself, how can I protect you and Ling Mansion! ”
