Chapter 1: Sharpening the Sword IV
readx;? Chapter 1: Sharpening the Sword (4)
"Why didn't I see that your life was suffering?!" Li Tiegui couldn't stand Ning Caichen feeling sorry for himself at every turn, frowning and counting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info: "Isn't it better to fall into the grass than to be killed if you can't get out." Besides, on the entire green forest road, who doesn't know that you are Ning Er in charge at the moment?!"
"So what? Aren't you dreaming about washing your hands in a golden basin?" Ning Caichen, the second master, glanced at him and continued to shake his head with a wry smile. "If there is a choice, who wants to be the son of the King of the Mountain?!"
Li Tiegui, the fifth master, was suddenly stunned by the question, biting his lip and being speechless for a long time. The rivers and lakes are a road of no return, if there is a choice, who wants to be a thief? No matter how famous he is, no matter how majestic he is in the eyes of his peers, he will still be a thief if he raises a son and goes outside the mountains. Children and grandchildren can't get on the serious table!
Thinking about it like this, Ning Caichen refused to accept Xiaofei as his godson, and the reason was very clear. It's not that he's afraid of his own life, but he doesn't want Xiaofei to bear the notoriety of being the son of a mountain king. The boy didn't look like a thief, and he was born with a good heart. He deserves to have a greater future, not to be like the older generation, carrying sin until death.
But now that the army is in chaos and there is no way to make a serious life if they are not mountain bandits? Even the envoys of the various regions are just thieves with slightly greater strength! There is essentially no difference between them and those who occupy the mountains as kings.
"I heard that Jiangnan Datang has opened another imperial examination!" As if guessing the question in Li Tiegui's heart, Ning Caichen withdrew his gaze from Ning Yanzhang and said in a very low voice. "The Li father and son broke the corporal, and many people who went to Jiangbei were entrusted with important tasks. If Xiaofei has an innocent family background......"
Jiangnan Datang is the honorific title of the regime established by the Li clan in the south. Since Xu Zhihe changed his name to Li Yu nine years ago and changed his country name to Tang, after two generations of hard work, his territory has expanded from a corner of Wu to Jingchu and Lingnan. It is not inferior to the heyday of the Great Jin. And in terms of people's livelihood, it also far surpasses the Northern Dajin. Although it has not yet reached the point where the road is not left behind and the door is not closed at night, at least it is getting away from the war. The warriors with heavy troops did not dare to do whatever they wanted like in the north. (Note 1)
"Then you're tired!" Li Tiegui didn't expect Ning Caichen to plan so far for Xiaofei, so he was stunned again, pouting and shaking his head.
Cultivating a person whose head has been beaten stupid to go to Jiangnan Datang to take the imperial examination seems to him to be more unrealistic than teaching wild boars to climb trees. Instead of having that energy, it is better to plan carefully, when Boss Wu comes back with the money from selling his head, how can everyone walk neatly, so as not to be chased and killed by Zhao Yanshou's minions!
However, he would not say much to Ning Caichen. The two sides originally did not belong to a cottage, but last summer due to fate, they set up a group together in the White Horse Temple on Wagang Mountain. And in the future, it is better to have no contact with each other. After all, with such a large sum of money to buy a land and live in seclusion, the fewer people around you who know each other's roots, the better.
Ning Caichen, the second leader, also didn't expect Li Tiegui to support him. He was originally the son of a large family, but because his home was destroyed by the war, he had to fall into the grass. Since then, many of my youthful ideals have become completely dreamy bubbles. And in the past few months, he has always been able to see himself when he was a teenager. So I can't wait to teach everything and let the latter replace myself to make up for those regrets of the year.
In line with the idea of Zhuo Yu's meticulousness, from this moment on, he was more serious about Ning Yanzhang's teaching. If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three, four, or even ten times. Anyway, the wind outside has been tight recently, and it is impossible for everyone to risk being targeted by Zhao Yanshou to go out of the mountain to "do business". Instead of being idle and itching to the bones, it is better to focus all your energy on Xiao Fei.
As a result, Ning Yanzhang's life became more and more "difficult". As soon as I memorized "A Thousand Words", I was shoehorned into a copy of "Three Hundred Poems" that I didn't know where to get it. "Three Hundred Poems" has just memorized the first two articles, and in the blink of an eye, there is another tattered volume of "Shangshu" in the morning class. If it weren't for the chaos outside, the market would have withered. If you can't figure it out, even the "Analects" and "Mencius" will be directly used by Second Uncle Ning as teaching materials for him. (Note 2)
Fortunately, Wu Ruofu, the big master, came back in time. Otherwise, Ning Yanzhang would have to be forced to "hang his head and pierce his bones". And on the first day of his return, his "school career" was officially over. Wagangzhai has taken over a big deal, if it goes well, everyone will no longer be a thief, and it is possible to completely change the door like the legendary Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong, and even the name Ling Yan.
"The king of Han has raised a righteous teacher and vowed to expel the Khitan back to Saiwai. In fact, all the wealth we have received before was given by the king of Han. The person in charge of this matter is the arm of the king of Han, and the six armies are all Yu Marquis Changgong. Wu went out to trade this time, was recommended by his old friend, and made a special trip to visit Chang Gong, and they talked with each other very happily. After the big boss Wu Ruofu gathered the core figures of the cottage together, he didn't even breathe for extra breath, and announced very excitedly. (Note 3)
He didn't come back alone, but also brought his old friend Han Pu, that is, Uncle Han whom Ning Yanzhang had seen more than twenty days ago, and Han Pu's son Han Chongyun, a young man with broad shoulders and a broad back, calm and heavy. The latter was about the same age as Ning Yanzhang, so he quickly sneaked over and hid in the corner together.
Ning Yanzhang lost most of his memory, and he didn't know which King of Han was in Wu Ruofu's mouth. I don't know how big an official the Marquis of the Six Armies is, and seeing him can make the big boss feel so honored. As for some of Wu Ruofu's subsequent words, such as "Once this is done, the whole village can be included in the account of the Han King, and the food and salary are the same as those of the guards and the pro-army..." Turning his head sideways, he lowered his voice and asked, "Your father, Ling Zun is a big official?
Han Chongyun met Ning Yanzhang more than half a month ago and knew that his head had been smashed with an iron shovel. Therefore, he was not annoyed that he was speechless, smiled, and responded in the same low voice, "It's just a horseman, it's not that big!" But the father-in-law, who is the Chang Gong in their mouth, is the old man who has followed the King of Han for more than 20 years, so what he promised, the King of Han will definitely admit it, and he will definitely not make you happy!"
"Why should we rejoice? Just to be able to work for your father-in-law and that Han king? How do you know that he will win in the end? Besides, he never dies when he fights?!" Dissatisfied with the arrogance that Han Chongyun revealed when he spoke, Ning Yanzhang's eyebrows jumped slightly, and a series of questioning words came out.
Facing Li Tie's sharp mouth all day long, he was unconsciously affected. said it, and didn't leave half of the other party's affection at all. When Han Chongyun asked, his face suddenly turned red and his forehead was wet. gritted his teeth and gasped for several big breaths, before he thought about not being like a stupid boy, and slowly explained: "King Han has been preparing for this day for a long time, so he will naturally win. You don't know how many heads the Khitans have had their heads cut off in the last few months alone? The Khitan barbarian king Yelude has only 100,000 soldiers killed under his tent, even if the Han King can't defeat him for a while, and continues to spend money to invite heroes to cut off their heads, sooner or later he will have to cut all the 100,000 Khitan dogs into headless ghosts!"
"You mean, it's the Han King of your family who spends money to buy the head?" Ning Yanzhang suddenly realized at this moment, and said with round eyes.
Confused by his stupid appearance, Han Chongyun stomped his foot and added helplessly, "Of course it's the money from King Han, otherwise, which big family can be willing to make such a big deal?!Hey, did you listen to Uncle Wu's words just now? Didn't he explain it to all of you?!"
"I was glad that you were here just now, but I didn't listen carefully!" Ning Yanzhang scratched the back of his head and said curtly. Immediately, he quickly frowned, "Then why didn't the King of Han continue to use money to buy the head of the Khitan dog, why did he rush to recruit us? I know, the King of Han has no money, so he uses Zhao'an to fool us!"
"Don't talk nonsense, King Han is not what you think!" Han Chongyun was startled, and quickly pushed him, reminding him in a lower, but very eager voice. "Are you really stupid or fake stupid, this kind of opportunity, others can't ask for it. If it weren't for the fact that my grandfather had fought side by side with Uncle Wu in the crane control army, how could a good thing fall on your Wagangzhai head? Uncle Wu, as well as a few of your family members here, can be regarded as having made contributions to the founding of the country. Even if you can't pay homage to the general, at least it won't be a problem to return home. ā
"Oh!" Ning Yanzhang didn't seem to understand, but instinctively felt that there was no cheap thing in the world to pick up for nothing. However, before he could refute it, there was a burst of excited shouts around him, "I am willing to die for the King of Han!"
The pre-war mobilization of Wu Ruofu, the big boss, was very successful. Ning Caichen, the second leader, Xu Yuanju, the third leader, and several other leaders, the big and small leaders in the cottage, were elated, ready to go out of the mountain at any time to win fame.
"But, but this kind of good thing, the King of Han's own people and horses don't come to pick it up!" Ning Yanzhang looked at the uncles and uncles and muttered. His voice was so low that it was swallowed up in the tsunami-like cheers of a landslide.
"Willing to die for the King of Han!"
"Willing to die for the King of Han!"
....
The entire Wagangzhai is immersed in the good dream of whitewashing identity and changing the court, and I hope that I will never wake up after a long sleep.
Note 1: Jiangnan Datang, that is, Southern Tang. Built by Xu Zhihe. Xu Zhihe changed his name to Li Yu in 938 A.D. and changed his country name to Tang. Later, the father and son focused on the south, and in their heyday, they included Hunan and parts of Guangzhou. But they were soon lost and never recovered.
Note 2: Psalm 300, that is, the Book of Songs. The first of the Five Classics, it is a must-read for learning in ancient times.
Note 3: The six armies are all Yu Marquis, which is equivalent to the commander of the army, and in the fifth generation, the hardcore cronies of the non-jiedu envoy will not be awarded this position. Chang Si and Emperor Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty were both pawns in Li Siyuan in their early years, and they were comrades-in-arms who lived and died together. So Liu Zhiyuan has always trusted him very much, knowing that his ability is very average, and he always reuses him.
