Lu Dengyun got up very early the next day, he didn't drink too much wine, and because of Lu Yi's previous words, he held back his stomach, and he couldn't talk to anyone, he tossed and turned for a long time at night and couldn't fall asleep, and when the sky was just bright outside the window, he quickly got up from the kang, and after simply putting on his coat, he washed his face with the water in the house to wake up, and after pushing the door open, he carefully did not make any sound, and practiced boxing silently in the courtyard to vent the depression in his heart.

The boxing method in the army, the first heavy killing, almost no defensive moves, the pursuit is to kill the enemy with one move, or even to exchange injuries for injuries, to exchange life for life, this set of vigorous, murderous boxing after the fight, there was a burst of applause at the door.

"Bang bang!"

I saw Gu Xuan, who was wearing a set of capable black practice clothes, standing quietly at the door, never stepping into the courtyard, and said with a somewhat abrupt expression: "Please forgive General Lu, I was passing by here, and I saw the general practicing boxing in the courtyard, so it was inconvenient to disturb, but I was curious, so I kept looking outside, and I couldn't help but 。。。。。。 just now ”

Lu Dengyun also turned around at this time, looked at this side, and said generously: "It's okay, it's okay, lord, you。。。。。。 ”

Gu Xuan waved his hand very embarrassedly, interrupted the other party, and said, "Hey, you made the general laugh last night, and you lost your words after drinking。。。。。。 ”

When he mentioned this, Lu Dengyun didn't know how to answer, seeing that the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little embarrassing, Gu Xuan suddenly asked: "The boxing technique that the general just fought, I think it is quite powerful, but there are some places that don't seem to be taught in the army。。。。。。 ”

Lu Dengyun didn't hide it, and quickly explained: "It was General Zuo who taught me." ”

"Oh?" Gu Xuan was suddenly surprised, "There is such a thing, the general also knows, I also have a soft spot for this martial arts, and now it is still early, why don't we have a discussion with each other and warm up our bodies?"

Lu Dengyun is a martial artist, how can he not allow it.

When he escorted the seriously injured Gu Xuan from the central part of Youzhou to come here, he was very curious, because according to what Mr. Lan said to himself, it was this prince who took the risk to fight with dozens of horse bandits in order to save the villagers of Majia Village, although he was seriously injured later, but he also killed several people, this kind of merit is enough for an ordinary local army soldier to be promoted to captain, he originally thought that it was the personal guard Jinglong, after all, in his impression, the princes and nobles were born, if they said that they had the people in their hearts and dared to fight with the horse bandits, he believed it, but the martial arts were so high, he still had some doubts, but at that time, he saw that the other party was injured, plus they don't know each other very well, so they are embarrassed to ask more.

But today, as soon as they got together, Lu Dengyun felt that the pressure on him from the other party was too great.

Gu Xuannai is a master of learning from all families, he is well versed, his martial arts are exquisite, and he is naturally powerful, and he is really not his opponent in the fist and foot competition, and there are really few people who are his opponents, and these days he has nothing to do, so he went to visit Feng Tiesheng, the first person in the south, and asked him to guide him, and he has made rapid progress, and he can already melt what he has seen and learned into a furnace, although he has lost his left eye, his combat power is even stronger than before.

Although Lu Dengyun is also a natural talent for trapping fierce generals, he is much inferior to Gu Xuan in all aspects, and after all, he is from the military, his knowledge is limited, and the moves he has learned are not exquisite, so even if he has been honing his skills at the border for many years, sharpening his skills in life and death, and his combat experience is extremely rich, but in this courtyard, without fighting each other's lives, relying on the boxing techniques passed down by General Zuo alone, he is still overstretched.

The two of them were fist-to-fist here, and after only dozens of rounds, Lu Dengyun hurriedly stopped.

As a soldier, he should have been the most unwilling to admit defeat, but Lu Dengyun did not hide his praise, although he was still panting, he still sincerely admired the other party, and asked with a little curiosity: "Lord Wang, you, how can you be so powerful?"

After such a short fight, in fact, Gu Xuan had just moved his muscles, and when he heard Lu Dengyun's praise and inquiry, he suddenly smiled shyly: "My mother was originally from an ordinary peasant family, so her status in the palace is not high, I have often been bullied inside and outside the palace since I was a child, although I dare not fight back, but I want to practice more martial arts, be stronger, and be more durable, it is always good, this practice, I have been practicing for more than ten years." ”

These words were full of sadness and humiliation, and Lu Dengyun couldn't help but be touched when he heard it.

So that's the case, no wonder he is obviously a prince, but he was sent to this side by the imperial court, and after escorting him here, Mr. Lan immediately warned himself not to associate with him anymore, because he was afraid that he would be implicated.

Although he has never been to the capital, let alone entered the splendid palace, he can fully imagine that a poor child is surrounded and bullied and beaten every day, because his mother's status is not high, so he can't, and he doesn't dare to fight back, so he can only silently endure the bullying of outsiders, practicing martial arts day after day, just to make himself resist a little, how tenacious this is.

If it weren't for more than ten years of practice, he wouldn't have been so powerful.

Lu Dengyun, who was not from a good background, was even more deeply touched by this, his father died early, and his mother alone pulled him up, and when he was young, he was also bullied by the neighborhood children but did not dare to resist, for fear of causing trouble to his mother, who had a hard time, and then in order not to drag down his mother, he took the initiative to leave home, lied about his age, and even knelt down to plead, so he was able to join the army, and the half-grown child joined the army like this, all of this, in fact, it was just to not drag down his mother at the beginning, and he could eat a full meal, and then he was valued by General Zuo, and he was sent back and forth to sharpen, and the hardships he has endured over the years are simply not enough for outsiders。

Seeing that Gu Xuan's expression was a little gloomy, Lu Dengyun couldn't help but comfort him: "Lord Wang, General Zuo once taught me a sentence, the more hardships you endure, the more rewards you will receive, so we have to endure more hardships, hey, it's not right, that's what it means anyway, I don't know how to speak, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”

His words immediately made Gu Xuan laugh, and after stopping laughing, he gently patted Lu Dengyun's shoulder, and said in a solemn tone: "Although the words are simple, the truth is true, what I have learned in Huangsha County in the past few months is indeed something that I will never learn in my lifetime in the palace." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again, touched the blindfold of his left eye, looked up at the sky, and sighed softly: "Although I said that I lost something, I got some anyway." ”

Lu Dengyun felt even more uncomfortable when he saw it, but he just scratched his head, and he didn't know how to comfort the other party.

Gu Xuan lowered his head and looked at Lu Dengyun opposite, the whole person was obviously a lot more lively, and then smiled: "Do you want to know how I lost this eye? In fact, there is nothing to say." ”

Lu Dengyun is indeed very curious, but no matter how stupid he is, he also knows that he can't reveal people's scars, and now that Gu Xuan takes the initiative to say it, he can be a good listener with peace of mind.

immediately told the whole story, but he didn't save himself from secretly going to Yanzhou, and only said that in order not to occupy the resources of the imperial court, he went to find a mineral vein, and he didn't even encounter a large number of horse bandits, and after the arrow in his left eye, he fled back with difficulty.

After hearing this, Lu Dengyun was even more in awe, and directly clenched his fists and fell down in front of Gu Xuan.

"The prince is righteous!"

He had a very good impression of Gu Xuan, a prince who did not hesitate to engage in hand-to-hand combat with dozens of horse bandits in order to save ordinary villagers, and was even seriously injured, and afterwards he did not blame the local army for dereliction of duty, but chose not to report it to the court, giving them enough face for the Youzhou army, and now it is even more in order not to ask the court for supplies, causing himself to be blind even in one eye, he originally thought that the border army had sacrificed enough over the years, but now he knows that there are such people among the royal family who are pampered and pampered, and there is such a prince in the world。

Gu Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and then said to him earnestly: "So now do you understand why I have always wanted to recruit the Rakshasa Clan? It's not that I'm boasting, but even if I'm like this, I know some martial arts, and I can even say that I am a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, once I fight with someone, I will be injured or even killed, what about other ordinary soldiers? Aren't they more likely to die on the battlefield?" Every soldier, they are both the mother's child and the child's father, they all have their own family, if they die, then there will be one more white-haired man to send the black-haired mother in the world, one more fatherless child, if there is no war, and the dispute between the two races can be resolved in a peaceful way, why can't you try?"

Of course not, even if he is a soldier who relies on war to reflect his value, but over the years, he has seen how many of his comrades' horse leather shrouds have been seen in his eyes, and if one day he can no longer fight, it will be a good thing for the people and even for the soldiers.

No one wants to die, no one should die, the world should be peaceful, and it is better to disarm and return to the field than to live and die in another country.

If there had been no dispute between the two clans from beginning to end, he would not have been the child without a father, and a child like him would not be the first, nor the last, nor the only one, so he was deeply touched by this remark and agreed with it very much.

The reason why he had always felt that it was inappropriate before, and even spoke out against it, was because he deeply understood the true nature of the Rakshasa clan, and he didn't want the other party to be naïve and soft-hearted for a while, because they didn't know enough about the enemy, which would lead to irreparable consequences, but if the other party really came up with a solution after careful consideration, of course he didn't mind trying.

Seeing that Lu Dengyun was contemplating his eyebrows and thinking deeply, knowing that he had listened, Gu Xuan then continued: "War, for the people above, may be just a matter of one sentence, it can be a momentary mood, or even as the capital for them to increase their official ranks, but as soon as they give an order, they will ask thousands of people to die on the battlefield, isn't this a very unnecessary thing?"

"Even if we win, what can we do? We have won face, but the people who died are the people of our Liang country, and they are living lives!"

"General Lu has been in the border army for many years, don't you want to see a situation where no one sacrifices anymore? The Rakshasa clan is indeed not civilized, and there are rebellious bones, I admit it, I also know, but I believe that there must be a way to change them in this world, the sage said, there is no class, they just need more teaching and guidance, these soldiers in Huangsha County, in fact, are the best examples. ”

"Since I came here, I haven't taken a brick or a tile from the imperial court, or even a penny, and Huangsha County can have the current situation, is it me, or the credit of the imperial court? No, this is their own credit, if one day in the future, the descendants of the Rakshasa clan can also be like our Liangguo people, go to school, join the army, and even enter the army, then how good it should be, let us all kill a little less, even if the thing fails, it is also my responsibility, even if I am ruined and stinking for 10,000 years, I will bear it!"
