After the practice, He Tian and Shi Yi had dinner together, and then took Shi Yi and the disciples to meet and go to He Tian's study, where everyone would learn sign language for an hour.

At first, everyone thought sign language was boring, but He Tian mobilized everyone's enthusiasm for learning on the grounds that sign language can be used to convey secret information.

He Tian's ten apprentices all grew up in the barracks, and as long as they were related to military affairs, they would be particularly interested, so everyone studied very seriously.

Xie Yun was the smartest of the ten apprentices, the fastest learner, and was able to communicate briefly after a week.

"General Xie, what did you mean by the sign language you just gestured to me? I haven't learned it yet. ”

The playful four apprentices Feng Qiao, who didn't learn or knew anything, asked Xie Yun.

Just in the learning exchange in class, Xie Yun made a few gestures to Feng Qiao.

Xie Yun smiled and said, "General Feng, the sign language I just made meant: I hope the general can read more." ”

Feng Qiao was speechless, no one in the whole palace didn't know that her General Feng's talent was all in the military, and she didn't know anything about reading, and her senior brother came to laugh at her.

He Tian and Shi Yi glanced at each other and laughed.

Just now, both of them happened to see the scene where Xie Yun was gesturing sign language.

Shi Yi moved closer to the direction of the master, bowed his head and gestured to He Tian, indicating that Xie Yun's gesture was not what he meant.

He Tian waved his hand and signaled Shi Yi not to say any more, in case Xie Yun saw it, he would be embarrassed.

He Tian spent more time with Shi Yi a day, and he spent more time learning sign language than these apprentices, so he understood Xie Yun's gestures.

........

"Come, Xie Yun, taste the new tea produced in Zhongzhou this year."

After the study, He Tian found an excuse to let Xie Yun stay alone.

"Thank you, master." Xie Yun picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and praised: "Good tea!" The entrance is shengjin, the throat rhyme is obvious, first bitter and then sweet. ”

He Tian smiled, drinking tea was just an excuse, and He Tian was not too interested.

He Tian raised the teacup and took a sip, frowning, the tea of this era is too different from that of later generations, and there are too many things added, so I can't get used to it.

Putting down the teacup, He Tian looked at Xie Yun and said, "I entrusted the military advisor to do something before, and this matter is very important, so you need to be guarded by soldiers and horses to rest assured." I originally planned to let the seventh and eighth lead the army to take care of them, but then I thought about it inappropriately. ”

"Lao Qi and Lao Ba have been practicing martial arts for many years, so they naturally don't need to worry about force, but the two are good at charging into battle, and their thinking is relatively simple, and they will not be flexible in case of trouble. The Xizhou Army is out all year round, and if I or the military advisor are not there, and something happens, I'm afraid the two of them won't be able to deal with it. ”

Xie Yun said: "Then the master means that he wants me to go?" ”

He Tian nodded: "Among the apprentices I have accepted, you are the smartest one, thoughtful and thoughtful, I am more relieved to leave this matter to you." ”

Xie Yun stood up, crossed his hands and bowed: "Please rest assured, the apprentice will not let the master down." ”

"Okay, come, sit down, it's just the two of us here, don't be too restrained."

Xie Yun sat back in his place, He Tian picked up the teapot and poured him another cup of tea, "Come, since you like this tea, try it more, and bring some back later." The army is busy, and it is good to have a few drinks occasionally when you are sleepy. ”

"Master Xie." Xie Yun showed a gentle smile on his face, picked up the teacup and continued to taste.

Seeing that Xie Yun drank the tea, He Tian suddenly spoke: "I am going to let Feng Qiao be in charge of this matter with you." ”

"Hey, why are you so careless, you will spill the tea, is it hot?" He Tian looked at Xie Yun with a "concern" expression, and as soon as Xie Yun heard Feng Qiao's name, he shook his hand nervously, and the water in the teacup in his hand spilled out.

Xie Yun was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, master, it's okay, the apprentice is wearing a lot today, and he hasn't been scalded by tea." ”

"That's good." He Tian nodded, restrained his face, and continued: "I don't know, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Xie Yun's face slowly became a little red.

How could it happen to be the fourth junior sister? Did the master see something? Otherwise, why would you ask this question today, in the past, the master always gave direct orders for things like this, except for the military advisor, who rarely listened to other people's opinions.

Countless thoughts popped up in his mind, and the micro-expressions on Xie Yun's face kept changing, confused, nervous, tangled, and shy......

He Tian didn't interrupt him, watching the play with a playful expression on his face, but unfortunately there were some melon seeds and coke, and the fun was half less.

After a long while, Xie Yun's thoughts drifted back, and he realized that he had wandered and made the master wait for a long time, and hurriedly replied: "Everything is arranged by the master. ”

"Well, that's good, Feng Qiao is a girl, although she looks very aggressive, but she also has the delicacy unique to girls, and in many cases you can find some things that you may ignore. If you two cooperate well, you will be much more relieved as a teacher. ”

"Yes, master."

"By the way, speaking of Feng Qiao, I've been thinking about one thing for the teacher recently."

He Tian used superb acting skills to show the image of a good teacher who cares about his apprentices.

Xie Yun's ears were pricked up when he heard Feng Qiao's name, but his ears were still a little red because of the embarrassment just now, and he asked according to He Tian's words: "I don't know what the master is thinking?" ”

He Tian sighed and said to Xie Yun: "The ten of you have been together for many years, and you know each other very well, and you also know Feng Qiao's life experience. Her father was a gambler, addicted to gambling, and even snatched Feng Qiao's mother's life-saving medicine money in order to gamble, and finally her mother died due to untimely treatment. ”

Feng Qiao put a wine bottle on the door of her house, and when her father came home and pushed the door open, she was directly knocked out by the wine bottle. She was worried that her father would wake up and trouble her, so she ran away from home overnight. ”

He Tian shook his head when he said this, sighed again, and then continued: "You were there when I first met her. She was a girl sleeping alone under a wild tree on the side of the road, in troubled times, if she hadn't met us, she was alone as a girl, and the end could be imagined. ”

Xie Yun recalled that when he first saw Feng Qiao, the big-eyed girl woke up and saw them, although there was panic in her eyes, her expression did not change much.

There was an aura of despair all over the body, and the big eyes that were supposed to be smart and charming lost their luster.

It was also from that day that Xie Yun left the shadow of this girl in his heart.

He was also very happy when he watched her grow up happily in the Nanchen Palace.

He would also be worried when he watched her fight on the battlefield.

likes what she likes, likes what she enjoys, but she never opens her mouth, Xu is afraid of making mistakes, which makes the relationship between the two estranged.

He can't afford to lose.
