Chapter 100: The General
After the night banquet in the General's Mansion, Chu He lived in the mansion for more than half a month, during which he lived in a simple place, practicing knives during the day and practicing at night.
After such a period of systematic cultivation, his cultivation realm finally reached the fourth realm smoothly, and the thirteen overlord swords also reached the fourth layer.
In such a short period of time, Chu He's cultivation and sword skills have improved to such an extent that even Yan Chen was amazed.
But he himself knows that the reason why he was able to break through again and again has a lot to do with the previous battle of Ba'an Mountain.
In those few battles, what he gained was not only the hundreds of Sheng military heads, but more importantly, his perception of the battle and his understanding of martial arts were all deposited in his subconscious. When it comes to cultivation, you can accumulate it and achieve it overnight.
During this time, Yan Chen and Liang Yi spent most of their time in the inner courtyard, and they didn't come out much, and sometimes there would be quarrels, and no one dared to ask.
Aunt Ma couldn't be idle, so she sat in the yard every day to do some needlework, and sometimes the big housekeeper Hu Bai would come here to chat with her.
Jiang Wuxian's life is even more leisurely, in addition to the important work of eight meals a day, he is to laugh and play with the maids, and occasionally go out mysteriously, and he doesn't know what to do. He didn't say it, and Chu He didn't ask.
It is said that the battle ahead has become clear, and the Eastern Border Army of Shengguo and the Liang Army of Qianguo have reached a tacit understanding and each has begun to withdraw its troops.
Chu He specially asked about the situation of the Jinjia camp, Jiang Wuxian said that he had retreated from Ba'an Mountain, and the grain was cut off twice during the strangulation, and Wang Minglun organized several looting of the official grain in the surrounding small towns, which made the entire Jingqi Road restless.
On this day, there were more than a dozen maids in the courtyard, in groups of three or five, secretly looking at Chu He and watching him practice knives bare-chested.
Chu He's figure was already very well-proportioned, and after such a period of tempering, pieces of muscle outlines had emerged.
Jiang Wuxian sat on the steps, swallowing melon seeds, and said sourly: "What is this?" You guys haven't seen the world. ”
Suddenly, a bold maid said, "Lord Jiang, then you also took off your clothes for the sisters to see?" ”
"Take it off."
Jiang Wuxian stood up directly, and was about to untie his trouser belt.
The girls hurried to stop him, and there was another burst of playful laughter and scolding.
Chu He finished the hundredth seven-step pile, slowly put away the knife, and looked at the maids sweating profusely, "Which sister is okay, get me some bath water?" ”
The maids, who were still playing, immediately threw Jiang Wuxian aside.
"I'll go, I'll go."
"Yesterday was you, today it's my turn!"
"Don't rob it, it's me today!"
Chu He looked at these young maids helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.
Yan Chen and the others have never put up a shelf with the people since they lived in this courtyard, and they all intersected on an equal footing, so these girls are not afraid of Chu He, let alone Jiang Wuzhi.
The maids gathered in a heap, chattering and not knowing what they were talking about, glancing at Chu He from time to time, but no one moved to fetch him bath water.
Chu He had no choice, so he walked to the stone table and poured himself a cup of herbal tea to drink.
A young and exceptionally beautiful girl, blushing, was pushed out by her companions.
"Young Master Chu, ...... today Let me rub your back. The little girl's voice became lower and lower, but she still mustered up the courage to look at Chu He.
The maids behind her suddenly burst into laughter and coaxed one after another.
"Just rubbing your back?"
"I also want to rub Chu Gongzi?"
Chu He, who is experienced in this area, wanted to refuse and reluctantly accept him, but when he saw Jiang Wuxian sitting there with a wicked smile on his face, he suddenly lost his interest.
He still decided to maintain a tall and glorious image of the lord in front of Jiang Wuxian.
So Chu He coughed lightly twice, and said seriously: "The kindness of the sisters Chu He understands, I still prefer to wash alone, and I will have a chance in the future." ”
The maids suddenly showed disappointed expressions, but they couldn't force Chu He, the legendary general Yizi, so they had to listlessly prepare bath water for him one by one.
The little girl also glared at him secretly, and turned to follow the sisters.
Bang Bang Bang!
Jiang Wuxian clapped his hands and applauded Chu He.
"Brother Chu is really a righteous man and a gentleman, he doesn't sit still, I really admire my little brother."
Chu He glared at him with a sneer, turned around and went to take a bath.
After taking a shower and eating lunch, Chu He saw that the weather was good today, so he prepared to go out for a walk.
Jiang Wuxian also wanted to follow, but was rejected by Chu He, so he had to go back and continue to play Go with the maids.
Lose the bullet and collapse the brain.
Chu He didn't ask for a horse, so he walked out of the General's Mansion like this, stopping and stopping all the way, very leisurely.
Yan Chen said that cultivation should also combine work and rest, and blindly cultivating hard will only lead to a dead end.
But since he picked up Liang Yi from Qushui County, Chu He hadn't seen him practice knife skills once.
Obviously, the son of this real great general is no longer here.
Chu He walked in the middle of the city, strolling around and tasting various snacks.
There is a glutinous rice pastry wrapped in bean flour, which is a bit like a donkey rolling. Chu He liked it very much, and even ate several pieces.
He wandered outside until it was dark, and then he walked back.
As a result, as soon as he entered the mansion, Steward Hu greeted him, obviously waiting for him here for a long time.
"Young Master Chu, you can come back."
Chu He was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
"The Great General is back!"
"Huh?" Chu He was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt a little weak.
Although his current identity as the son of the great general is not pretending, it is also unjustifiable, and I don't know how Chen Shi reacted after knowing this.
Hu Bai stood beside Chu He and said in a low voice: "After the general came back in the afternoon, he had already seen the young general and Jiang Gongzi, and now I am waiting for you in the study." ”
As if he saw Chu He's thoughts, Hu Bai continued: "The general's mood is not bad, so Prince Chu doesn't have to worry. ”
Chu He thought about it, and there was no reason to escape, so he had to speak: "Please also ask Steward Hu to lead the way." ”
"Young Master Chu come with me."
The two of them walked all the way to the deepest part of the General's Mansion, in front of a small hut.
Through the paper window, you can see the dim candlelight inside.
Hu Bai saluted towards Chu He, "Young Master Chu, I'll retire first." ”
Chu He hurriedly returned the salute, "Thank you, Steward Hu." ”
Looking at the hidden door, Chu He hesitated for a while.
"Why don't you come in now that you've arrived?" A peaceful male voice came from inside the room, naturally it was Chen Shi, the general of Liangzhou.
Chu He turned his heart sideways, thinking that he had something to be afraid of when he saw his father-in-law, so he pushed the door in directly.
It was a small study that could be called a small desk, with a few books littered around.
There was a chaise longue on the side, on which lay a lean old man, holding a thin book in his hand, and his eyes seemed to be so bad that he almost touched his face.
Chu He couldn't believe that the little old man in front of him, who was casually dressed, skinny and skinny, and was at most one meter six and a half tall, turned out to be Chen Shi, the general of the Megatron Shengguo for decades.
Chen Shi took the book down, revealing his skinny face full of wrinkles and age spots, and his bare head, which had few hairs left.
He struggled to stand up, walked over and patted Chu He's face gently, and suddenly laughed.
"You are my righteous son Chu He, right?"
