【Chapter 144】Dialogue
Through the iron grate, a few captives leaning against the wall came back to their senses to see the ink marks; In the corner of the most marginal cell, a woman with a mutilated face stood up, it was Aman. The few people who were locked up with her consciously got out of the way, and the mute child named Heng'er was among them. With some difficulty, Aman walked to the edge of the iron fence and looked at Yu Moji.
"It's you." Aman's voice was calm and tired.
"Yes. I have only been back to the Council in the past few days, and I have just learned that you are here. Yu Moji omitted his hardships all the way and didn't mention it, but said, "Master Fu promised me that I would try my best to reduce your guilt." Has he kept his promise? ”
Someone on the side laughed, as if there was some sarcasm. Yu Moji followed the sound and saw a man with a familiar face. But she didn't know the man's name.
"It depends on how Master Fu views our original guilt." The man interjected, "Soon after you left, Master Fu interrogated several people, and these people never came back; As for us, Master Fu said that it was inconvenient for him to make a decision alone, so he sent us here. As he spoke, the man stretched out his scarred feet, these captives have traveled all the way to the imperial capital, and the road will not be too easy. Perhaps in your eyes, delaying the trial is also a form of mitigation. For us, it is a lot of hardship. ”
Yu Moji sighed secretly.
Fu Wan was robbed, and Master Fu did not correct these people involved in the Fa on the spot out of anger, but transferred them to the Cardinal, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous; As for the rest, even a person like her, who was accused of being "whimsical" by Ling Jingcheng, actually didn't dare to ask for it. She brought it up just to tell them that she hadn't forgotten her promise that day.
She did not succeed in her work, and she did not mean to make people remember her kindness; It's just a little bit of the previous connection, and it's always easier for the two sides to talk.
"To redeem merit for sin, you must first have merit." Yu Mochen learned a little bit from Ling Jingcheng, so he took it to the prisoners, "I also said before, I want to protect you, on the one hand, because Yi Xiaocheng taught me, Chai Jingliu took me in, and on the other hand, it is for the study of Yanjia. Now I want to use the technology used on the ship to take credit to the Cardinal. That's why I'm here today. ”
"Oh, the hospitality of the imperial court." The man sneered, "Although our Jiangshan ship is hard, we have great respect for the ship guards who can teach the science of Yanjia. It's not like you, who put everyone in this iron prison and only sent a little girl to visit the prison. ”
"Why bother." Aman stood on the side for a long time, and only then did he open his mouth, but he was helping Yu Moji speak, "The relationship between Jiangshan Boat and the imperial court is sensitive, and we were originally sinners. Girl, we are grateful for your repeated efforts for us. If you want to ask about the Yanji, just ask. ”
Aman's temperament is very unique. She probably lost half of her face, and her expression was a little more indifferent than that of others, as if she didn't care about anything. Except for a little panic in the fire before, Aman always seemed to be so calm and calm on weekdays; There is nothing particularly grateful about the gratitude she said. But as the one who can teach the Yi brothers and sisters, she should be the most proficient in the study of Yanjia among this group of captives. Yu Moji got her permission, and it can be regarded as a small progress.
However, the man still refused to give up, he rolled his eyes, and said, "Aman, this Yanjia is the foundation of your life, casually teach this little girl, she kills chickens and takes eggs, crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and turns around to abandon you, what should you do?" ”
Yu Moji looked at him and said, "I will definitely not do such a treacherous thing." What's more, even if only Aman teaches me, this skill will be counted to everyone. Her tone was indifferent, and she suddenly felt as if she had been contaminated with a little bit of Yuan Zhizhi's demeanor. In the past, when people questioned her, she always had to be sad in her heart, she was extremely forced, and occasionally she would explode with negative anger. It seems like this hasn't happened for a long time.
"There is no basis for words." The man sarcastically said to her, but he didn't intend to argue with her anymore, only squinted his eyes and resumed his pretend sleep.
Aman shook his head, "This is the end of the matter, this may be our only chance to find a way out." She turned her gaze back to Yu Moji's face and said, "To be honest, I didn't promise you because you knew someone or promised anything before. I only hope that what you said about making meritorious contributions to sins can be realized. ”
Yu Moji actually knows that although the nine surnames of Jiangshan are somewhat connected, each family has its own affairs, and her friendship with Chai Jingliu is probably nothing to Aman; Even those old things between him and Yi Xiaocheng, Aman may not care about them. She nodded, and said, "I'll do my best." She looked around and said, "You told me before that there are not many people on the rivers and mountains who know how to learn the art of Yanjia, because this technique is really dangerous. Come to think of it, among the nine surnames in the country, if you want to learn the study of Yanjia, you also need some special conditions. ”
"That's right." Aman said, "The Qi people outside attach too much importance to this knowledge. If an ignorant child learns, it will be like a child who is holding money in the city, harboring his sins, and will suffer from it, so it is better not to learn. ”
Yu Mochen said in his heart, perhaps in Aman's eyes, the Yi brothers and sisters are just a pair of ignorant children; The final outcome of these two people is also as Aman said.
Thinking of this, Yu Mochen nodded in understanding, and added, "I have this question, but I am actually worried that you are inconvenient to discuss with me in front of everyone because of the rules of the river. ”
"So you still expect us to return to the ship alive. When you say that, I'm relieved. The man, who had fallen into a coma before, suddenly raised his eyes and interjected, "We do have some rules on the ship, but what are you going to do?" Let Aman out alone? ”
Yu Mojin didn't have the courage to release this group of people rashly, but fortunately, Aman immediately waved his hand, "No need." That's it. After all, my relationship with them is closer than with you. ”
Yu Moji smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he had to admit in his heart that it was indeed the case. She nodded and said, "Then I'll say it." In the past, the Yi brothers and sisters' seven-fold gold cauldron was already the pinnacle of the dragon's heart machine in my eyes. However, I have only learned a little bit, and I have never understood how to put the idea of the seven-fold golden cauldron into practice. I'm looking for you today, and I hope to be able to discuss the principles of the ......."
This call was thought of by her on the way here; In fact, the production idea of the seven-fold sales golden kettle, she had already learned it thoroughly with Yi Xiaojiao in the past. However, as a representative work of the Yanji on the Jiangshan ship, the seven-pin gold kettle must be quite closely related to other Yanji. Yu Moji felt that starting from this point, he might be able to ask the essence of the Yanjia on the Jiangshan Boat more quickly; When you ask deeply, you may be able to find an opportunity to ask Aman for some details that can be used on the Xuantian Blazing Sun.
She asked sincerely, and Aman spoke in detail. The two of them asked and answered questions and answers in this prison, and explored back and forth; Complex issues such as mathematics and structure are also like blind chess, and each of them thinks entirely on their brains, and there is no obstacle to talking.
A few people on the side saw that they were talking lively, so they also came over, their faces were quite interested, obviously they also knew some Yanjia learning, and wanted to take this opportunity to learn a thing or two. Heng'er sat on the side, and his round eyes were wide open, as if he was afraid of missing something he didn't know.
I don't know how long later, among the people who listened to their conversation with the iron fence, one of them suddenly slapped his hand and said with a smile, "So that's the truth." I was puzzled before, but because I was not in charge of the whole ship, I never had the opportunity to ask Master Aman for advice. Now I've finally figured it out. ”
Yu Moji's eyes turned to the group of people who were leaning there to listen, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If these people were not born in Jiangshan Ship, even if they were civilians, they would have the opportunity to enter the martial arts halls that bloomed everywhere in the Great Qi Empire; There must have been some brilliant people among them who would have had the opportunity to enter the Council as a reserve, rather than be confined to this prison and have her relay these brilliant techniques on their behalf.
Aman's expression was calm and solemn. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then you should listen carefully." I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity again. ”
When Yu Moji heard this, his mood was a little complicated.
She had previously estimated that it would not be easy to study the science of Yanjia in the Jiangshan ship, but she didn't expect that even those who were ship guards could not have access to the most core knowledge.
This is much stricter than the official system of the Great Qi Empire - although there are very few civilians in the cardinal, they are always given the opportunity to apply; On the boat, it seems to be more of a master-apprentice inheritance, and if others want to study, I am afraid it will be difficult to get in.
Yu Mochen glanced at Heng'er, and was a little curious in his heart, and he didn't know how the Yanshi on the Jiangshan boat chose his apprentices.
After all, a dumb child like Heng'er, in the Great Qi Empire, if he was not from a noble background, I am afraid it would be difficult to have the opportunity to enter the official school such as the lecture academy and the lecture hall, but Aman seems to take good care of this little apprentice; The other people behind the iron fence who were listening intently seemed to be deaf and clear-sighted, and there was nothing defective. Since they are able to comprehend such in-depth knowledge, they must not be far from qualified. However, according to Aman's meaning, it is estimated that even if she can escape in the future, she has no intention of instructing these people again.
Thinking of this, Yu Moji slowed down her pace carefully, and specially asked Aman to explain in more detail, so that these few observers whose foundation was not as good as her could digest them.
Aman sensed what she meant, but frowned slightly, and said, "You can't stay here forever." How long will you have here to consult with me this time? ”
Yu Moji was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that Aman had this question, perhaps because he was worried about whether he could leave the prison as soon as possible. So Yu Moji replied truthfully, "Three days." I will then return to the Cardinal and ask him to relieve you of your guilt as much as possible......"
"Then it can't be any more slow." Aman interrupted her, "I still have a lot to teach you. There isn't much time left. ”
