Chapter 37 The Growth of Self-Discipline Puppets
"Woo......"
In the bedroom, Xiao Wan'er lay on the bed and whimpered quietly, thick enough to make her feel the shame of self-immolation on the spot lingering in her heart, only temporarily suppressed by the burning pain between the two.
The puppet dragon man's hand is not heavy, but it is not light, which is enough for Xiao Wan'er to hurt for a while.
Unexpectedly...... ...... unexpectedly'
Xiao Wan'er covered her face, that person must have been sent by the national teacher, Xiao Wan'er didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while, her wayward actions successfully attracted Mo Bai's attention, but unfortunately what she was waiting for was not Mo Bai's education, but a beating by Xiong Meng's woman.
She didn't even get to see Mo Bai again!
'Badass! Xiao Wan'er scolded bitterly in her heart.
How can you spank a girl's ass?
And is there any morality? Is there a legal system?
Xiao Wan'er really didn't expect that a person of her age would be punished for being punished.
Xiao Wan'er was ashamed and annoyed, knowing that she was at fault first, and it was untenable to find Mobai's theory.
And this kind of shameful thing, how can she be embarrassed to speak? This evil breath can only be swallowed painfully.
In the Stargazing Tower, Mo Bai raised his eyes and looked at the dried paper people, although there were more wrinkles, they could still be used.
In the afternoon, Mo Bai took the time to make some paper-cut paper figures, and now the new and old are mixed together, the smoother the newer, and the more wrinkled are the old products.
A little starlight condensed in Mo Bai's hand, and then divided into several points of light and fell on the paper man, and in the next moment, dozens of figures appeared on the stargazing tower.
After a full body examination of the paper servants, Mo Bai picked out the badly damaged ones, and then he waved his hand, and the rest of the paper servants all returned to their respective jobs.
At dusk, Mo Bai looked at the sun in the west for a while, and the red fire occupied the sky for half a day, burning all the way from west to east, igniting the dim sky.
Mo Bai stared intently at the orange sunset until the end of dusk.
"Xiaobai, what are you looking at?" Mo Ying came to the top of the stargazing tower at some point and sat down beside him.
Mo Bai tilted his head and looked at Mo Ying, "Sun." ”
"The sun?" The ink warbler looked at the sky in the distance, the figure of the sun on the horizon had disappeared, and only the pale orange shimmer lingered for a short time, "The sun has set." ”
"Hmm," Mo Bai nodded, "It's gone." ”
"How's the puppet guards doing?"
"Still doing it."
"How long will it take?"
"I don't know." Mo Bai looked at Mo Ying, and from the latter's eyes, he could see a hint of eagerness.
Mo Bai looked down at the puppet-making parts that were idle on the side.
Mo Ying is very concerned about Xiao Wan'er's condition, and there is a high probability that she saw herself in Xiao Wan'er.
There are no relatives on the left and right, and they are all orphans.
Mo Bai: "I will, soon." ”
……
The Council Pavilion is another small court meeting.
Zhao Qingsong listened to Gongsun Changquan complaining about the officials who were promoted from the local government and came to the court to become officials.
"Those guys, none of their butts are clean, and their hearts are dirtier than the other! If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court is now in the process of employing people, just disrupting the people's livelihood and embezzlement and corruption would be enough for them to die several times! ”
Zhao Qingsong was silent, some time ago, the newly appointed household servant wanted to befriend him, and he didn't know how much money he spent just to give gifts.
Zhao Qingsong took a cursory look, just one of the gifts from the Central Plains tea leaves, the price on the market is 100 taels of silver.
This shows how strong the family background of these officials from the local area is.
And how many of such a strong family foundation were exploited from the hands of the people?
I'm afraid only they know.
On the main seat, Li Yu's face was calm.
As Gongsun Changquan said, now that the imperial court is in urgent need of employing people, Li Yu will not care much about whether the ministers' buttocks are clean or not, as long as they are obedient and obedient, pouting their butts when they should pout their butts, and sit down honestly when they should sit down.
In this way, Li Yu will not do anything to them.
After Gongsun Changquan finished complaining, he stood aside and was silent, and Li Yu immediately looked at Zhao Qingsong: "Lord Shangshu, what do you have to say?" ”
Zhao Qingsong said: "Your Majesty, the cold winter has passed, everything has rejuvenated, and the most important thing now is to fill the vacant treasury, of which the grain reserve is the most important, how many people are willing to return to the farmland during the spring ploughing period, which directly affects the direction of Yan in the coming year." ”
What Zhao Qingsong said is true, spring ploughing is an important period, if there are people returning to the countryside during this period, it means that the domestic form has tended to be stable.
"I have been prepared for this," Gongsun Changquan on the side spoke, "I have prepared a stage for Your Majesty to encourage all the people to return to the countryside, and Your Majesty will personally go down to the field to plant the first seeds of spring ploughing." ”
Zhao Qingsong looked at Gongsun Changquan with deep eyes, in terms of showing off and guiding the masses, Gongsun Changquan is really experienced.
After that, Gongsun Changquan informed Zhao Qingsong of the details of this matter one by one.
Zhao Qingsong sighed at the careful planning of Gongsun Changquan and at the same time, his cognition of Gongsun Changquan was aggravated.
Thinking that Gongsun Changquan can always accompany Li Yu and finally sit on the position of prime minister, he must have very reliable strength.
"I didn't expect the Prime Minister to be so thoughtful," Zhao Qingsong smiled: "It's me who is too worried." ”
Gongsun Changquan looked at Zhao Qingsong, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "There is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and after thinking about it, I still think I should give it a try." ”
He lowered his head and pleaded: "I don't know if Lord Zhao can invite the national teacher to bring blessings and favor the earth on the day of spring ploughing, this matter is very important, and I also ask Lord Zhao to help Yan Guo." ”
Although Zhao Qingsong had expected it, he was still inevitably a little surprised, surprised by Gongsun Changquan's bowing head, and surprised by his almost pleading tone.
On the main seat, Li Yu stood up, he walked up to Zhao Qingsong, and bowed down sincerely.
"Mr. Zhao, please help Yan Guo."
Gongsun Changquan and Li Yu both understood that although Mobai is now the national teacher of Yanguo, he actually has no inseparable connection with Yanguo, Yanguo needs Mobai, but Mobai does not need Yanguo.
So they put all their hopes on Zhao Qingsong, and only Zhao Qingsong has a glimmer of hope for Yanguo.
Zhao Qingsong was silent for a long time, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "As a citizen of Yanguo, I naturally hope that the future of Yanguo will be prosperous. ”
He smiled and said: "I will go to ask Mo Gongzi for this matter, even if I exhaust a few of my thin faces, I will also win a glimmer of hope for Yan Guo." ”
Li Yu was overjoyed: "I thanked Mr. Zhao for the people of Yanguo. ”
Gongsun Changquan also looked happy, today's matter had actually been planned a long time ago, even if Zhao Qingsong didn't mention the matter of spring ploughing, he would find an opportunity to mention it, and then ask Zhao Qingsong with Li Yu to ask the national teacher for help.
At the same time, Gongsun Changquan felt a little lonely, because Zhao Qingsong said that he was a citizen of the Yan Kingdom and not a courtier of His Majesty, and he was for the Yan Kingdom of all the people, not for the Yan Kingdom of the Li family.
Gongsun Changquan admired it and sighed in his heart.
'Reader, it's wonderful. ’
Agreeing to Li Yu and Gongsun Changquan's request, Zhao Qingsong remembered something and asked, "Your Majesty, is there a person with strong martial arts in the palace?" ”
Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to raise his finger to him, but found that his current identity was not suitable.
Putting away his thoughts awkwardly, he said:
"Lin Cong, the commander of the forbidden army, can live ten moves in my hands, and he should be regarded as a strong martial artist."
"Princess Changping has practiced martial arts with me since she was a child, although she is a little bit worse, but she can also live ten moves with me."
The corners of Gongsun Changquan's mouth twitched, and the eyes that looked at Li Yu changed.
When Zhao Qingsong asked if there were any strong martial arts people in the palace, he found that Li Yu wanted to point to himself for a moment, but due to the restrictions of his identity, he finally held back, but he didn't expect Li Yu to change his law to praise his martial arts.
Zhao Qingsong smiled: "Your Majesty, can you lend Lin Cong to me for a few days?" ”
Li Yu was curious: "What is the use of Lord Shangshu?" ”
He continued, "If Lord Shangshu lacks guards, I will arrange some for you. ”
Zhao Qingsong shook his head: "It's not that I need guards, it's that Young Master Mo needs a martial artist who can fight." ”
"The national teacher needs a warrior who can fight?"
"I don't know what Master Mo is going to do," Zhao Qingsong asked again, "Your Majesty, can you lend Lin Cong to me for a few days?" ”
Li Yu: Borrow, of course, don't say a few days, even if you send it out, it's no problem!
Although Zhao Qingsong named Lin Cong, who was chosen by name, Li Yu still had some thoughts in his heart, 'Why don't you change Changping to the past?' Being a beater of immortals will definitely be beneficial. ’
……
"Young Master Mo, that's the way it is."
On the stargazing floor, Zhao Qingsong recounted what happened at the small court meeting for Mo Bai.
Zhao Qingsong looked at Mo Bai, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said slowly: "I borrowed a person with strong martial arts for you, and asked Mo Gongzi to come forward to help with spring ploughing." ”
Mo Bai asked, "When?" ”
"Mo Gongzi is willing to help?" Zhao Qingsong was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "The spring ploughing day is set in five days. ”
Mo Bai nodded and said honestly: "Etiquette is still exchanged." ”
The emperor sent the people he needed, and he came forward to help the emperor once.
Is it fair? Fair enough.
Zhao Qingsong said suddenly: "By the way, Your Majesty intends to let Princess Changping replace Lin Cong." ”
Princess Changping?
Who, I don't know.
Is she also a martial artist?
Mo Bai: "In the future, if you have a chance, let's talk about it." ”
……
In the martial arts training field, Lin Cong, who was dressed in armor, followed behind the gray-clothed figure, looking nervous.
He knew exactly what this place was, and he could see the tall and majestic stargazing tower when he tilted his head slightly.
How many people dreamed of entering the Taoist hall, he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites by a piece of paper, and then followed the Ministry of Rites in a daze.
Lin Cong muttered to himself in his heart: "It is rumored that the relationship between the Ministry of Rites and the immortals in the Taoist Hall is not ordinary, originally I didn't believe it, but now I believe it." ’
The puppet dragon man stopped, and Lin Cong suddenly paused, standing tall, and waiting quietly to the side.
It didn't take long for a white puppet to come out, the puppet was about the size of a normal adult male, with one eye, and the eye was inlaid with an unknown red gem, which at first glance looked a little scary.
Lin Cong was shocked.
A puppet that moves?
The puppet dragon man stepped aside, and Lin Cong swallowed his saliva and didn't understand what was going on for a while.
Just as Lin Cong looked at the puppet dragon man for an answer, the puppet's eyes on the opposite side suddenly lit up.
The next moment, the puppet pounced on Lin Cong.
Lin Cong's face was shocked, and he hurriedly dodged.
The puppet couldn't pounce, and immediately clinged to Lin Cong, biting Lin never let go, and waved his wooden arm to attack him continuously.
With its nimble limbs and amazing speed, the puppet pressed Lin Cong for a while and couldn't fight back.
It's a pity that the puppet's attacks are disorderly, and each blow seems fierce and fast, but it is full of flaws.
Lin Cong was just caught off guard, and immediately broke free from the puppet's attack and fled after coming back to his senses.
'Is it for me to fight the puppet?' Retreating to the edge of the martial arts training ground, Lin Cong wiped his sweat.
Knowing what he should do, Lin Cong immediately entered the state, and from the ferocious attack of the puppet, he judged that the puppet was just empty of strength and speed, in other words, it was an "ordinary person" with empty brute force.
The puppet didn't give Lin Cong more time to think, it was like a tireless beast, its body quickly approached Lin Cong, and when it was less than a few meters away from Lin Cong, the puppet jumped up, and its huge fist smashed down on Lin Cong's head.
'Jump in front of a professional martial artist......
Lin Cong was convinced that the puppets were "ordinary people".
In the field of vision, the puppet's wooden fist continued to enlarge, Lin Cong was calm, to be honest, there were too many flaws, he didn't know which one to start.
Lin Cong took a deep breath, and his breath concentrated to one point at this moment.
Stride, sideways, punch, all in one go.
The puppet's fist swept past the side of Lin Cong's face, bringing a burst of wind, and Lin Cong's fist landed on the puppet's abdomen.
The air froze for a moment, and the next moment, the puppet flew upside down for several meters and fell to the ground.
Lin Cong breathed a long sigh of relief and rubbed his fists, curious about what kind of material the puppet was made of, it was ridiculously hard.
He thought that if this punch continued, the puppet would fall apart.
The puppet that was knocked out of the air slowly got up, without any damage on its body, and stood in front of Lin Cong again.
Lin Cong's expression was moved, this punch fell on the martial artist, it was also a fatal blow, it was estimated that he would have to cultivate for ten days and a half months, but the puppet was not injured at all.
'Is it so hard?! ’
And then the next moment, something that shocked Lin Cong happened, only to see the puppet stride on the spot, turn sideways, and then punch the air hard!
The action is standard, the strength is fierce, and the momentum is surging!
Lin Cong's face was grim, and suddenly, his thoughts were clear, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
It was asked me to be a sparring partner for the puppets. ’
……
The puppet dragon man watched expressionlessly, and the collision again and again continued to occur in the martial arts training field.
The puppet will not get tired, and Lin Cong seems to be getting more and more excited, and the two have come and gone for many rounds.
Although each encounter is a defeat and a defeat of the puppets and they are knocked back, the puppets' martial arts are also improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
From the beginning, he could only rush hard to gradually know how to use skills to attack flexibly, learned to dodge, and no longer recklessly used his body to resist.
When making puppets, Mo Bai added the ability to learn to imitate them, and the main purpose of letting Zhao Qingsong recruit martial artists with strong martial arts was to let the puppet guards train their combat power against mortals.
The materials used to make puppets are mundane, and they can't compare to the body of a real dragon like a puppet dragon.
There is no comparison between the two.
The puppet dragon man itself contains extraordinary power, and it is controlled by Mo Bai, so it does not need to master skills at all, and it can bulldoze mountains with a casual punch.
And the puppet is a self-disciplined type, and all skills have to be learned from ordinary warriors.
……
Confirming that Mo Bai was willing to help on the day of spring ploughing, Zhao Qingsong was inevitably excited, and said goodbye to Mo Bai, he went down the stargazing tower with his legs and feet, and couldn't wait to enter the palace to report the matter.
Zhao Qingsong didn't go to the main gate, the main entrance of the hall was always open, and he came to visit Mobai on weekdays by taking Mobai's side door.
On the way to the side gate, passing through the back garden, Zhao Qingsong paused and watched for a moment.
The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, quiet and quiet.
"Huh?"
Zhao Qing suddenly saw Xiao Wan'er walking towards the small garden, her movements were stiff and slow, and she trembled step by step.
Across half of the garden, Zhao Qingsong waved his hand at Xiao Wan'er and asked in a loud voice, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Wan'er raised her head in surprise and looked at the source of the voice, "Who?" ’
She looked at Zhao Qingsong, felt a little familiar, her brain was spinning quickly, and finally found the memory of Zhao Qingsong, the ceremonial Shangshu at the Chinese New Year's Eve tea party, it is said that she has a life-saving grace for herself.
I couldn't figure out why the other party was here, Xiao Wan'er was calm, the corners of her mouth hooked up a quiet smile, straightened up, and said with a light smile: "It's nothing, the ground is slippery, and I accidentally fell." ”
