Chapter 42: A Chicken or an Eagle
Hearing that he was going to learn martial arts from Jiang Yichen, Ji Ying's whole person collapsed. can't refuse, who made her praise Jiang Yichen's martial arts? Who made the family her savior? She walked out dejectedly.
At the door of his own house, Ji Ying met the nomadic field again.
Today, Nomad's face was much more ugly than before, his lips were white, but his cheeks were unusually red, because his chest had been scratched by the killer last night, and he had bled a lot. But nomadic still smiled heartlessly, carrying a bag of herbs and looking at Ji Ying.
At this time, Ji Ying felt a dull pain in her heart for a moment. She's a smart person, and after yesterday's events, she's a little bit of a nomad. Nomad must have known that someone would be bad for them last night, but he didn't say it directly. Although Ji Ying understands that nomadic wilderness has a hard time. He's not alone, he still has his family. But she couldn't convince herself. They're not all the way now.
Ji Ying stepped forward and said politely: "I heard that Brother Muye was injured last night, is he okay now?" ”
"It's fine." Nomad handed over the herb, "This is for you." I was frightened a lot yesterday, and I gave you peace of mind. ”
Ji Ying's body paused, and he took it with both hands: "Thank you." ”
Nomad Ye smiled miserably: "In the last few days, I won't come, you be careful." ”
"Okay."
This touch of red really makes people unhappy. Looking at the lonely back of the nomadic field, Ji Ying was stunned. It would be nice to be as uninhibited as when we first met. Unfortunately, I can't go back.
Ji Ying came to the princess's mansion with a heavy heart, but was taken aback by the battle in the princess's mansion at this time: the original place where the precious flowers and plants were placed was opened up, and in the courtyard at this time, there were wooden stakes, arrow targets, hand targets, sandbags, wooden barrels, white railings, swords, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, it was really everything. Ji Ying thought to herself: I'd better pass out again!
Jiang Yichen's career as an instructor began. In view of Ji Ying's frail health since he was a child and he did not have any foundation in martial arts, Jiang Yichen tailored a set of plans for Ji Ying: first practice arm strength, then learn to ride and shoot, and finally learn to capture.
Easy to say, but ...... done
Jiang Yichen placed Ji Ying on two wooden stakes and asked her to stand in a posture of zama step, with her arms stretched forward, at the level of her shoulders, and her hands clenched into fists, with the center of her fists facing down. An incense burner is placed between the stakes. Jiang Yichen said that the incense burner is the best agarwood, the fragrance is gloomy but not strong, and it is the spice used by the queen. When all the spices in the incense burner are burned, Ji Ying can come down.
Jiang Yichen said that burning incense and practicing martial arts is a treatment that the princes do not have, and when they practice martial arts, at most they will put a brazier or a few steel nails under their buttocks. Given that Ji Ying is a girl, he shouldn't be too harsh.
At the end, Jiang Yichen emphasized to Ji Ying: Don't thank me, just be so righteous!
Thank? Thank you, a ghost! Ji Ying has the heart to die. As soon as she put on a pose, Ji Ying couldn't hold it, she looked at the sun hanging high and wailed: "Your Royal Highness King Xiaohuai, I can't do it, I can't hold it!" ”
Jiang Yichen, who was sitting on a rattan chair under the flower stand to make kung fu tea, said slowly: "This is how I was treated when I was three years old. Let me tell you, when I was young, I was frail and sickly, and my father made me practice martial arts every day, regardless of the cold winter or the scorching heat, and my body soon got better. You can practice martial arts with me in peace of mind - hey, keep your hands high, don't be lazy! Squat, squat, and straighten your upper body! ”
Ji Ying obediently did so.
But Jiang Yichen was not satisfied. He circled around Ji Ying twice, brought two empty wooden barrels, and hung them on Ji Ying's two wrists, and specially emphasized that if Ji Ying was lazy, he would fill the barrel with water.
The first pot of spices burned out when Ji Ying's leg cramped. Jiang Yichen helped Ji Ying jump off the stake, let her drink two cups of tea, rest for a while, and then run three laps along the princess's mansion.
When Ji Ying ran away to perform the task, panting in front of Jiang Yichen, Jiang Yichen's devilish voice sounded again: Continue to zama step.
In the second round, the horse step squatted more sorely. Jiang Yichen put a small bowl on Ji Ying's head to prevent her body from shaking. A weighing stone fell on the back of her waist to add weight to her body.
Ji Ying shouted with tears in her eyes: "Jiang Yichen, can you have a little humanity!" I can't stand still! ”
Jiang Yichen slapped Ji Ying's back with a ring and ordered: "Don't speak!" ”
Ji Ying's back hurt from being beaten, sweat rolled through every inch of her body, and the potion she had applied this morning to smear her complexion was crisscrossed by sweat. She protested: "You are so vicious, you don't let people speak!" ”
"You're just practicing the basics now, I only practiced this when I was three or four years old. Also, strict teachers produce high apprentices, do you understand? You have to be deeply honored to have me as your Mr. Xiwu! ”
The second furnace of spices was finally burned when Ji Ying was about to pass out. Jiang Yichen carried Ji Ying down and prepared a basin of warm water for her to wash her face. Ji Ying soaked all her face in the basin of water, and after being bored for a long time, she still felt unhappy, and asked, "Is there any cold water?" The best well water! ”
Jiang Yichen hid under the flower stand and closed his eyes to recuperate: "If you sweat, you must wash it with warm water, otherwise you will get sick if you have a heat rash." Alas, it seems that you are really used to being comfortable, and you don't understand this bit of common sense. ”
Ji Ying tried her best to control her hands and not to splash the basin of dirty water in front of her on Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen didn't care about Ji Ying's angry eyes. He looked up at the sky, stretched his waist, and said, "It's noon, it's time to eat." Today, the kitchen prepared braised fish, stewed chicken, garlic pork ribs, and many vegetarian dishes. Ji Ying, do you want to be together? ”
When Ji Ying heard the word "eat", her stomach rumbled, and her confidence was leaked all of a sudden, and her eyes were golden: "Yes, I want to eat!" With that, she swooped into the house.
Jiang Yichen shook his head and smiled. He motioned for his subordinates to pass the meal, but he stood under the porch. At this time, Dong Jiu walked over. Jiang Yichen handed him a letter.
"Give this letter to my father. You go in person, I don't feel at ease when I leave it to someone else. Jiang Yichen said.
Dong Jiu checked the sealing of the envelope and asked, "This is to ask the prince about the origin of that nameplate, right?" How can you be sure that the prince knows the origin of the nameplate? ”
Jiang Yichen replied: "The style of the nameplate is the style of the secret guard token of the court of the first dynasty. My father had followed the emperor and His Majesty for so many years, and if he didn't know the origin of this thing, I'm afraid no one would know. ”
"You are really competent as an instructor, and every aspect has been thought of by the apprentice." Dong Jiu teased.
Jiang Yichen wondered: "Xiao Jiu, since you entered the capital, why have you talked so much?" ”
Dong Jiu pursed his lips and left with the letter.
At the dinner table, Ji Ying spread her stomach and ate wildly. In the past two days, she has been physically exhausted, and eating has become the most important thing she wants to do now. Since she was a child, she has always had no appetite, and today, she almost made up for all the food she had eaten.
Jiang Yichen fanned at it, and took the opportunity to tease: "That's right, eat more, and you have to continue practicing for a while." ”
Ji Ying threw an eye knife over, and then feasted.
A table of delicacies was eaten by Ji Ying. Ji Ying felt a sense of accomplishment, leaned back in the chair with satisfaction, and hiccuped: "It's so full!" ”
Jiang Yichen stroked his fan and laughed.
The afternoon training was even crazier. Jiang Yichen held a hand target and asked Ji Ying to whip and kick with all his strength. Ji Ying followed Jiang Yichen's example and kicked at the target, but he didn't expect to control the strength well, but instead bounced himself back and fell to the ground.
Jiang Yichen sneered: "Haha, Ji Ying, I haven't seen anyone who can throw himself back when he kicks the target." You are the first person in ancient and modern times! ”
Ji Ying stood up angrily, rubbed her sore buttocks, and then whipped her leg and kicked the target.
Jiang Yichen held the target in one hand and sarcastically coolly: "Is it okay for you to use some force?" is obviously called 'eagle', but his ability follows his surname and becomes a stupid 'chicken'. Are you counting on being under someone else's wing all the time? ”
A sentence hit Ji Ying's sore spot. Ji Ying shouted, raised her right leg high, and kicked it at the target. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichen took a step back, let Ji Ying pounce in the air, and fell face down to the ground, causing the sand to pounce on her. Jiang Yichen laughed uncontrollably beside him.
Ji Ying was annoyed and angry, and she was about to punch Jiang Yichen in the face when she got up. Jiang Yichen caught Ji Ying's soft fist with one hand, twisted sideways, grabbed Ji Ying, and pressed him to the ground.
"Jiang Yichen, you bully people!" Ji Ying shouted viciously.
Jiang Yichen held the target in one hand, twisted Ji Ying's arm with the other, and clamped Ji Ying's leg with one leg, and said with a smile: "I can't even see where the target is, what are you talking about?" Ji Ying, are you stupid to read? ”
"You let go of me!"
Jiang Yichen seemed to be very obedient and let go of Ji Ying. Ji Ying's anger did not subside, and no matter what moves he made, he threw punches and kicks at Jiang Yichen's body. Jiang Yichen didn't care about such a weak attack, just two simple moves, and Ji Ying, who was suppressed, couldn't move. Ji Ying couldn't help it, so she opened her mouth and bit Jiang Yichen's hand pulling her neck. Jiang Yichen used his elbow hard, played Ji Ying and turned around under his armpit, grabbed her in his arms, and clamped Ji Ying's arm between his arms and stuck in Ji Ying's chest.
It was too late for the two men to realize that there was a difference between men and women. Jiang Yichen's arm was gentle and soft, and he immediately remembered the subtle feeling when he came back from carrying Ji Ying yesterday. Jiang Yichen looked down at Ji Ying, and Ji Ying was also looking at him. This posture is as ambiguous as it gets.
Jiang Yichen hurriedly let go of his hand and coughed embarrassedly. Ji Ying blushed, stomped Jiang Yichen's feet, turned around and ran. Behind him, Jiang Yichen's wail shook the sky.
That night, Ji Ying came home from the princess's mansion, her whole body was sore, almost cramping, as if she had lost half her life. Miao Zhi was distressed, and hurriedly asked people to prepare warm water to soak in the medicinal bath, and then gave Ji Ying a medicinal massage. As soon as the wonderful massage began, Ji Ying fell asleep deeply.
Hey, I have to continue tomorrow......
