Chapter 40 Actively Preparing for War on

"Composition: self-denial, shooting: guessing riddles on the spot, endorsement: divination. ”

Mrs. Huang told Xiuniang: "These are the three topics listed by your father. I have done my best for my mother, and whether Helian Longshan can win depends on your creation. ”

Mrs. Huang was so entangled by her daughter that she had no choice but to be a spy, and she tried her best to finally find out the topic of the martial arts competition from her husband.

"Thank you, mother!" Xiuniang kissed her mother on the forehead excitedly.

"Son, you have to promise your mother one thing!"

"Mother, you say! My daughter promises you!"

"No matter who wins this game in the end, you have to accept it, your father is not easy, being an official in the Hu court, if you are not careful, you may be killed. If Helian Longshan wins, it will naturally be your creation, and if the Fu brothers win, you have to break off this relationship with Helian Gongzi, and you can't make your father embarrassed anymore. ”

"Mother, I listen to you. Xiuniang's eyes were red and she burst into tears.

"Child, send a message to Helian Longshan, don't let outsiders know, otherwise, our family will lose adults!"

Mrs. Huang turned and left her daughter's room.

Helian Longshan opened his eyes suddenly, his spirit was very high, knowing the title of the competition in advance would greatly improve his chances of winning, and the dialogue between Xiuniang and Mrs. Huang was all displayed on the white screen in his mind.

Ever since the master went to the Huangfu to propose marriage to him, Helian Longshan has been in a high degree of excitement, he always can't control himself, and observes Xiuniang's movements on the white screen in his mind.

Huang Tai told the master that on the fifth day of the lunar month, there are three main items in the official martial arts competition: composition, endorsement, and shooting, and the title of the composition, the content of the endorsement and the object of the shooting can only be known on the same day.

Now that you know the title of the essay and the content of the endorsement, it should be much easier to prepare, but this is really a bit difficult. The master was looking for someone to train Helian Longshan in the technique of shooting, but he couldn't figure out the way at all, and he was really depressed and wanted to die.

"I have to go and see Xiuniang, don't let her worry about sending a letter to herself!" Helian Longshan made up his mind, turned over and got out of bed, and came outside the house.

It was the third watch, Helian Longshan was afraid of disturbing the master, he didn't dare to go to the main entrance, jumped on the roof, turned over and jumped onto the street, and then walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the west of the Huangfu, where the wall was the small courtyard where Xiuniang and Ruojing sisters lived.

The night was very quiet, and I could faintly hear the child's whining cry, which was Xiuniang's nephew Huang Chong making trouble at night.

Helian Longshan jumped lightly on the roof and quietly came to Xiuniang's window. He learned to meow three times, which was his contact code with Xiuniang. The door opened silently, and Helian Longshan flashed in.

"Brother Longshan, I got the questions for the competition. In the dark night, Xiuniang's eyes were bright, and her voice was so weak that she could barely hear it.

"What's the subject? That's what I'm here for. Helian Longshan pretended not to know what the topic was, and asked in a low voice.

"The title of the essay is self-denial, and the content of the endorsement is divination, this is a book written by my father, I have read it before, and I will try to copy a copy for you. ”

"Well, I'm going to memorize it as hard as I can. ”

"When it comes to the competition, the things that are covered will be selected on the fly, which is difficult. ”

"Xiuniang, don't worry, I'm almost done, this won't bother me. ”

"Brother Longshan, you go back first, there is still a month to recruit relatives in the competition, you should prepare well, whether our affairs can be fulfilled depends on you. ”

Xiuniang opened the door to Helian Long Mountain.

It's winter, the cold in the house is pressing, Xiuniang is wrapped in a cotton coat, when she reaches out to open the door, the cotton clothes are a little open, and a faint woman's body fragrance stimulates Helian Longshan's nose and teases his desire. An impulse rose in his heart, and Helian Longshan involuntarily stretched out his arms to hug Xiuniang.

"Villain!" Xiuniang broke free in anger, and said softly: "The two sisters-in-law live next door, how can they come nonsense!"

Helian Longshan reluctantly dodged outside the house, and the door closed silently. Xiuniang leaned against the door with her back, her heart pounding, she tried to suppress the urge to throw herself into Brother Longshan's arms just now.

Helian Longshan jumped on the roof and was about to go home, when he suddenly found a house in the front yard of the Huangfu faintly lit up, and he couldn't help but wonder: Is it that the future father-in-law hasn't slept yet? Why don't you go and take a look, maybe you can get some useful information.

There is a book on Huang Tai's desk: Divination. It was the culmination of decades of studying the art of I Ching divination, and he planned to use it to test three young people, first asking them to read for an hour, and then to compare who could recite more accurately and memorize more words. He believed that Fu Chang could win, so he secretly sent Huang An to send the prince a handwritten copy of "Divination Heart".

On the day of the competition, he would find a few referees to set a grade for the essays of the three young people, as judged before, Fu Jian would not defeat the prince, Helian Longshan was a martial artist and would not pose a threat to the prince.

Not to mention the shooting, the Fu Chang and Fu Jian brothers have all learned from themselves to shoot over, so there should be no problem. The only thing that can go wrong is the endorsement. No one can steal the book, it has to be kept in a hidden place. Huang Tai knew very well in his heart that the most likely person to steal the book was his daughter. After a moment's hesitation, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf, placed the divination heart in a compartment at the bottom of the shelf, and after a while, took it out again, turned around and placed it behind the plaque hanging above the desk.

Helian Longshan saw Huang Tai sleeping with the lights out, so he left Huangfu and returned home. The details of Huang Tai's book collection told Helian Longshan that the book must be Xiuniang's "Divination Heart", and he thought: I have to think of reminding Xiuniang where his father hid the book.

Zhang Yin buckled a steamed bun under the dustpan, used three copper coins to divinate a hexagram, and then wrote the name of the hexagram on a piece of paper, allowing Helian Longshan to guess what was under the dustpan.

Zhang Yin is a master invited by the master from Taixue, and is responsible for training the skills of Helian Longshan shooting.

Helian Longshan has memorized the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching by heart, and he remembers the things represented by each hexagram clearly, but he still can't use this knowledge to judge the hidden objects under the dustpan.

Zhang Yin didn't give up, and still didn't reveal the mystery when he had lunch, forcing Helian Longshan to continue to shoot in the afternoon.

There is a short break after lunch.

Helian Longshan sat cross-legged and observed Xiuniang's movements. Even though he knew that doing so would drain a certain amount of his strength, he still couldn't get rid of the habit.

On the white screen in her mind, Xiuniang was looking at something on tiptoe, leaving Helian Longshan with a back, and after a while, she leaned down again, searching for something left and right.

Helian Longshan carried the Wuji Yiqiu Divine Skill, and the body of Yixiu Niang became smaller, and a tall bookshelf appeared on the white screen in his brain. He immediately realized that Xiuniang was helping him find "Divination", and couldn't help but be secretly anxious: Can she find this book.
