The weather is getting cooler, and I don't know that it is late autumn.

The sun dissipated the scorching heat, obliquely shining in the Linyuan Pavilion, a warm and warm place, Xiao Ying'er and her father played in the pavilion, and the jade was placed in Xiao Ying'er's hand, and the brilliance appeared from time to time.

Outside the pavilion, Li Xiaoming held a thick iron rod in his hand, and practiced the same chopping action backwards, or sweating like rain.

Shang Yu sat on a rock by the stream, fishing with a rod.

Since the last time he saw Qin Yi fishing here, Shang Yu has occupied this small pavilion near the water in the name of teaching Xiao Ying'er, and in the past dozens of days, in addition to teaching, Shang Yu has been here.

"Smack!"

A chess piece fell, and then Xiao Ying'er's milky voice came: "Daddy, you lost again!"

Shang Yu looked back, Xiao Ying'er smiled and threw herself into her father's arms, and the milky white halo on the shower jade was gradually dissipating.

"Xiao Ying'er, you have pushed too hard. Shang Yu put down the fishing rod, slowly walked into the pavilion, looked at the shower jade, and gently flicked it on Xiao Ying'er's head.

In the last few moves, Xiao Ying'er was eager to win, and completely let go of her own heavenly calculations, and showed that the reaction of the energy jade was far beyond usual, if she was in front of outsiders, she would have already been exposed.

The little girl was in pain and reached out to cover her forehead, but when she saw Shang Yu's gaze, she quickly put down her hand and stuck out her tongue: "Sir, Ying'er knows, but I won just now." ”

Shang Yu smiled: "Then why are you still beaten even if you win?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Ying'er pursed her lips, and said in her heart that it was not that Mr. was unreasonable.

"Oops!" Soon Xiao Ying'er hit her head again, and she looked back at her father aggrievedly.

I only heard Lian Dazhu feign anger and said: "You are competitive at a young age, you forgot how Mr. taught you, and you don't admit your mistake to Mr."

Xiao Ying'er was even more aggrieved when she heard this, and looked at Shang Yu with a blank look.

"Forget it," Shang Yu waved his hand and took all the chess pieces on the chessboard back to the chess box, and the shower Nengyu only flickered slightly and did not move, "Brother Lian, Xiao Ying'er is still young, what's wrong with being competitive, she will naturally understand after the victory or defeat." ”

When Xiao Ying'er heard this, she instantly burst into tears and laughed.

Not surprisingly, there was another hit on the little head.

Then Shang Yu walked out of the pavilion and came to the side of Li Xiaoming, who was immersed in knife practice, and beckoned gently.

"Sir. Li Xiaoming put away the iron rod, waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his head, and his chest rose and fell violently.

Shang Yu glanced him up and down and asked, "How are you doing at home these days?"

"Thanks to my husband's help, my mother has been sent to Yuandu for medical treatment, and the students have been living in the college for the past few days. ”

Shang Yu sent someone to give him a gift that day, although he did not mention this matter to Li Xiaoming, but Li Xiaoming was naturally grateful to Dade, and he also knew that what Shang Yu entrusted was probably more difficult than he imagined, so he practiced knives more diligently in the past few decades.

In the past few decades, Shang Yu has never supervised him, but according to the training method set by Shang Yu, he first practiced the knife technique every day until he lost his strength, and then began to run with heavy loads when he was most tired and weak, and did not stop until his body was overwhelmed and suffered multiple injuries, and he never slackened.

At the beginning, Li Xiaoming practiced for less than an hour every day before he fell into a coma due to serious injuries, and then gradually he was able to support one or two hours, and now he practices hard for four hours a day, and his temperament is very different from the previous student with a literary temperament.

Shang Yu nodded and said to Li Xiaoming: "Knife me, see how you progress?"

Li Xiaoming was stunned, but when he looked up, he saw Shang Yu nodding to him, so he calmed down and put on a posture: "The student is offended." ”

After that, Li Xiaoming stepped forward, moving his stick like a knife, and slashed at Shang Yu with a strong head.

Shang Yu glanced at him, stood still, only raised his hand to grab Li Xiaoming's wrist, and then gently tugged and pushed, Li Xiaoming staggered two steps and fell to the ground sideways.

"......" Shang Yu was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Xiaoming got up from the dust and looked at his face cautiously.

After Shang Yu pondered for a moment, he saw Li Xiaoming's expression cramped, and said softly: "Xiao Ming, your knife posture and accuracy are acceptable, but first of all, you shouldn't use ten percent of your strength as soon as you come up, if you are blocked, how do you respond? Thirdly, I only used the same strength as you, and I can't hurt you anymore after you fall to the ground, so why don't you get up and fight again......"

Li Xiaoming's face turned red, and he bowed his head and said, "It's the incompetence of the students that disappointed Mr." ”

Seeing him like this, Shang Yu sighed: "After all, cultivating literature and martial arts is your own business, you don't have to worry about what I think, you have a little self-preservation power now, and I won't ask you to reach any point." ”

Hearing his words, Li Xiaoming lowered his head and said nothing.

Shang Yu scratched his head, knowing that the young man's hard work was actually very deep, but his talent was limited, so he couldn't solve it in his heart after all, so he said: "Practicing martial arts is not only hard work, but also needs to think a lot, and you can be well-informed, there are many martial arts halls in Tingzhou City, you can take time to learn and communicate, and if you have any questions, you can ask me again." ”

Li Xiaoming listened, and sure enough, his eyes lit up: "Yes! ”

Shang Yu shook his head and walked back to the stream, and was about to pick up the fishing rod again, but saw a student from the academy who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the distance walking quickly: "Mr. Shang Yu, there is a distinguished guest from Yuandu who has come to visit. ”

Here it comes.

Shang Yu raised his eyebrows, straightened his clothes, first went to the pavilion to greet Lian Dazhu, and then walked out with him.

The Shushui Academy is not large, so the place to receive distinguished guests is still Bishui Pavilion.

In the beautiful wind and sun, Shang Yu walked up to the second floor and looked at the guest seats, a little surprised, because it was Jia Changshi from the Three Princes' Mansion who had only met once in Zizhou.

"Mr. Shang Yu is here, this is Jia Changshi of the Three Princes' Mansion, and he has come from the source to visit you. ”

Qin Yi is in the main position, and he is still personable to introduce the two.

It turned out to be Jia Changshi, and when he met Liu Fu that day, he was deeply impressed. Shang Yu smiled slightly, sat down, Jia Changshi and Yi Changshi were tall, short, fat and thin, and their words and demeanors were-for-tat, which was indeed impressive.

Jia Changshi got up and gave a long salute: "After a long time, Mr. Shang Yu's demeanor is still the same." ”

Jia Changshi came for Shang Yu, and after Shang Yu arrived, Qin Yi said goodbye and left, and after a period of greetings, Jia Changshi also began to talk about the topic.

"Mr. is only above the world, and his natural ability is even more extraordinary, isn't it a pity to be buried in this small academy?" Jia Changshi sat up straight, stared at Shang Yu with his eyes, and said sincerely.

Now that Dayu has lost his prince and the fourth son has seized the throne, Jia Changshi is naturally here to recruit talents for the three princes.

Shang Yu had already expected this day when Liu Mansion offered to fight Fan Beisha on behalf of Liu Zhen, so he smiled unhurriedly and said: "Long history is false, but I am used to the free body of the lonely cloud and wild crane, although the academy is small, it can see each other safely, and I have never felt buried in it." ”

Jia Changshi has been in the sea for many years, and when he heard it, he knew that he couldn't help it, and he was slightly happy in his heart, and continued to say: "Sir's words are wrong. Xia Guan thinks that the creation of the illusion is gifted with its ability, and it should do something to repay the illusion, and I was born in the world, the mediocre seek the glory of a lifetime, and the sage seeks a thousand years of merit, Mr. inherits the power of the sky, and obtains the ability of the sky, and should obey the heavens and be born to help the people.

is worthy of being a high-ranking official in the source capital, and his speech is really extraordinary.

"What does the long history think should be now?"

"Naturally, it is to choose the virtuous lord and assist the country, and to attach the Ming monarch and spread his wings......"

Shang Yufang picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his expression was hidden in the smoke rising from the teacup: "It makes sense, but I don't know who the sage in Changshi's mouth is, and who is Mingjun?"

Jia Changshi's spirit perked up: "Now Your Majesty's Spring and Autumn Period is high, the three princes are the longest, the most powerful, and will continue to be unification in the future. ”

"Then......" Shang Yu put down the teacup when he heard this, raised his head, and looked at Jia Changshi, "Dare to ask Changshi, why didn't His Royal Highness come to say this to Zai Xia in person today?"

Jia Changshi's eyes collided with Shang Yu, and he suddenly noticed the banter and a little disdain in the other party's eyes, and he wanted to blurt out "The Third Highness is busy with official business" stuck in his throat, his brows furrowed, and he looked at the new "first person under the Apocalypse of Dayu".

Shang Yu smiled and said: "I heard that the sage seeks talents, one bath and three grips of hair, one meal and three spit feeding, and I heard that the king employs people, distinguishes the holy foolish, and examines the virtuous, so that they can show their abilities and settle down, what does the long history think?"

These two sentences, the first sentence is to say that the three princes sent people to come, which shows that there is no sincerity in recruiting talents, and the second sentence is to say that Jia Changshi sent by the three princes is mediocre, which shows that he has no knowledge of people.

Jia Changshi's talent is mediocre, but in fact he is not stupid, he naturally understands what Shang Yu said, so he changed color: "I respect Mr. for what he can do, and please be cautious for Mr."

Shang Yu was not in a hurry, and said with a slight smile: "What should be said cautiously is the step, I want to ask you in the next place, what you said, the third highness secretly formed a party henchman to plot the throne, is it a fact or a frame-up?"

"Shang Yu! you!" Jia Changshi stood up suddenly, pointed at Shang Yu's face full of iron, and shuddered for a long time before he scolded angrily, "Bastard!"

"En?" Shang Yu shook his sleeves and looked up at Jia Changshi, his eyes showing a cold light.

When Jia Changshi saw Shang Yu's gaze, he suddenly paused, and he finally remembered at this moment that the person sitting in front of him was a ruthless Datianfeng who defeated Fan Beisha, if he provoked it, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out of here alive.

"If the gentleman has no intention, it is better that the official has not come. ”

Jia Changshi bowed one last time, took a deep breath, turned around and left slowly.

"Wait, there are two more sentences to give to Changshi. ”

Jia Changshi's legs stiffened, and the column did not move.

"First, if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his life. Second, the lord is humiliated and the minister dies. ”

When Jia Changshi heard this, he stood for a long time before he slowly said "teachable", and then staggered downstairs.

Shang Yu looked at Jia Changshi's fat body and trembling legs, and his brows furrowed.

Fang Cai said that the two sentences of the Ming Monarch and the Sage were temptations, and the content of the temptation was the last two sentences, but unexpectedly, after a try, this person was so unbearable, so it seemed that he really had to meet the third prince Xia Yao in person in order to weigh the future.

Walking back to the Linyuan Pavilion with his thoughts, Shang Yu picked up the fishing rod on the stone again, picked up the rod and threw the line, but his eyes stayed on the small line of small characters he carved on the handle of the bamboo pole:

"Rather take it from the straight, not from the song, not for the brocade scales, only to catch the king and wait. ”
