The summer cicadas are chirping, from the outside to the inside, quite noisy.

In the second half of the night, Bao Yuanqian was on the bed thinking about the experience of the day, although Ha Razhang and himself knew each other's handles, but it was quite uncomfortable to be controlled by others after all.

It seems that I have to find a chance to meet this Hara Zhang for a while, and open the skylight with him to talk to him, why do you have to kill yourself.

He let out a long breath and couldn't sleep, and suddenly he thought of a yellowed pamphlet that the wind had given him during the day.

He stood up like a carp, lit a candle, and took out the rather thick old booklet, which he took in his hand and looked at it again and again, except that it was still old, and even had an unpleasant smell of moldy ash.

He thought that Feng Saizhang said that this book is an ancient book for strengthening the body, and it will not be short to see that the age of this posture will not be short.

Slowly opened, the first eye-catching words of the opening book were impressively listed.

"Qi turns into blood, blood turns into essence, essence turns into marrow.... One year is easy to breathe, two years is easy to blood, three years is easy to vein, four years is easy to flesh and marrow, six years is easy to tendons, seven years is easy to bone, eight years is easy to hair, nine years is easy to shape? ”

"Can it still be shaped? Why does it sound like something like yoga..."Bao Yuanqian kept flipping back, muttering, "Hiss... And illustrations? ”

Just behind the booklet, he also saw a lot of villain drawings, and these villains were doing strange movements in the format.

Some of them seem to be gesturing moves, some of them are like sitting and napping, and some of them are simply villains lying on their sides of the table to sleep, their feet coiled and intertwined, and their hands awkwardly pillowing on the side of their ears.

... One is a tiger, two is a deer, three is a bear, and four is an ape... Hug Puzi and sleep ... Adjust the body, breathe, and mind..."

He watched it fascinated for a long time, and suddenly slapped his forehead and suddenly said: "Isn't this similar to Hua Tuo's Play" and Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi"!?" ”

Bao Yuanqian suddenly felt tasteless, and he watched it for about a long time.

The first half of the book is a lecture on physical fitness movements such as drama, and the second half is an excerpt from Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi" about the experience of sleep and the method of pranayama. These two things sound bluffing, but as a posterity, he understands it too well.

Although this play has the effect of strengthening the body, it can be the same thing as playing Tai Chi in the square for middle-aged and elderly people in later generations, and it is completely for the old man and old lady to move their muscles and bones.

This "Hug Puzi" sleeping skill is even more outrageous, although Ge Hong is rumored to be a half-immortal, it is said that his three-style sleeping skill has the effect of prolonging life and opening up the size of the week, but... It's more outrageous than yoga sleeping position, such a twisted movement, let alone falling asleep.. He probably could break his hands and feet.

He was a little stupid, although he didn't know if there were any adventures in the martial arts of later generations in this world, if he occasionally practiced a book, he became a martial arts master without a teacher in one day.

But I also speculate in my heart that a master like Feng Saizhang gave himself an ancient book, shouldn't it be the same according to the bloody plot?

But now it seems that this booklet has nothing to do with martial arts except for the old one, and there is nothing special about it.

But after thinking about it, when the predecessors of Renfeng gave themselves this book, they didn't say what kind of martial arts cheats they were, they just said that this ancient book of health has the effect of strengthening the body, invigorating blood and removing stasis, but it was his own passion, and he wanted to add a play.

"Hey.. It seems that there is still a difference between this and reality. Bao Yuanqian laughed at himself, and said in his heart that he wanted to ascend to the sky in one step, and he was afraid that it would be a fool's dream.

He turned back to the first page, and looked at the first sentence, from Yi Qi, Yi Xue, to finally Yi Qi and bones, and even able to change shape, which attracted his attention.

He pondered in his heart that this change of shape should mean that it is easy to change the body, that is... Can you train a fat person to be thin, a short person to be tall, and an adult to a child?

"So exaggerated?" Bao Yuanqian's expression was solemn, and he muttered: "The great man once said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and I will know if it is useful or not. ”

He said to do it, and compared it stiffly according to the movements in the villain's painting, it looked like a white crane with bright wings for a while, and in an instant, the golden rooster was independent but swaying from side to side.

"Jiaolong goes to sea! Ouch! ”

In the quiet room, only a muffled sound of "dong" was heard, and Bao Yuanqian learned to kick and learn to leap like a tiger, but because the lower pile was unstable, he threw a butt pier.

"it!" Bao Yuanqian leaned on the table and got up.

The fall was not light, and he grinned and rubbed his ass in pain.

Xuan even heard a soft knock on the door, "My lord? What's going on, you're okay, right? ”

When Bao Yuanqian heard this, he turned out to be startled by his own movement, and hurriedly waved her back.

"This booklet... Ay! Bao Yuanqian shook his head and threw the booklet on the seat, and sighed: "The inspection is over, and it is confirmed that it is useless." ”

But soon he grabbed the booklet again, thinking that he couldn't sleep anyway and tried to sleep with this Puzi.

He chose a relatively easy position, broke his stiff hands and feet into the same position as in the book, and slept on his side.

Because of the lessons of the past, he didn't know in his heart, and whether he could sleep or not depended on luck, but after he lay on his side in this position for less than half a moment, he gradually lost consciousness while listening to the sound of cicadas outside the window.

He seemed to have escaped into the abyss, and all around him was like a blue sea tide, and he continued to fall and fall dizzily.

"Brother... Elder brother!! ”

"Bang bang... Brother, wake up! ”

The scorching eyes and the sunlight poured into the room, and Bao Yuanqian was woken up by a person shouting in a thick voice. He suddenly felt some pain in his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Bao Butong who was slapping his face.

"Wrap the cloth with you, fuck it!" Bao Yuanqian scolded, turned over and got up, and wanted to kick Bao Butong's two feet.

Bao Butong dodged and said innocently: "Brother, I really don't blame me." I've been calling you for a full moment, and I can't wake up if you weren't panting, I'd be ready to eat. Could it be that you drank with Sister Sa again yesterday? Sleep so deeply, look at what time it is! ”

Bao Yuanqian came back to his senses and turned his head to look out the window. I saw that the sun had shifted to the west, at least much past noon.

He was secretly surprised in his heart, he was highly nervous after joining the army, but he hadn't been able to sleep like this for many years.... I don't know when I fell asleep in a trance last night, and it was already the afternoon of the second day as soon as I closed my eyes?

Lu Gangfeng was also on the side, and he said: "General Qi, Xiaobao is right, it is true." And it was also Zhang Baihu who asked us to call you, saying that a distinguished guest was coming, so let you go out to greet you together. ”

"Distinguished guests? Okay, I'll follow. Bao Yuanqian saw the two of them exit the door, and now it is considered that the soul has returned.

He only felt that this sleep had passed in the blink of an eye, and he carefully felt his body, and suddenly felt that his limbs seemed to be full of unconcealable energy, and there was no sense of tiredness.

As if he had inexhaustible energy, he even had the urge to run a marathon to vent.

I used to have the experience of sleeping lazy, but the more I sleeped, the sleepier I became, and I was still confused when I woke up.

When Bao Butong filmed himself just now, he woke up not only not sleepy, but even thought about beating Bao Butong.

"Could it be that this ancient book for self-cultivation is really useful?" Bao Yuanqian pondered for a long time and looked at the beams and pillars on the side.

He approached the pillar with his eyes glared, drank in a deep voice, and punched out violently!

"Smack!"

"Ahh

.....

Inside the main hall of the Embassy

The lord of the Hui tribe brought the vultures Polo with his servants and carried large and small gifts.

Zhang Shanduan and the two brocade guards were smiling and coping, and the three of them listened to the translator who was carrying the bald Polo with him talking with his lips, and sent people to urge Bao Yuanqian from time to time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it turned out that the lord of the Huite tribe came in person, and I missed the welcome!"

Just when the three of them were embarrassed, a person outside the hall spoke, it was Bao Yuanqian.

Bao Yuanqian, who looked at Bald Polo in a long robe, was followed by the maid Fluttershy. @

He stood up and saluted, laughing and said, "Harm, what's the matter?" Angel, you have a lot of opportunities every day, and I understand Polo very well. He glanced at Fluttershy behind Bao Yuanqian, with a strange look in his eyes.

Fluttershy's cheeks flush and she rushes to make tea with the other maids.

Bao Yuanqian smiled faintly, he naturally knew what he meant by Bald Polo, but at Fluttershy's request, he did not deny it, and he should have said what Vulture Polo wanted.

The two invite each other to a seat, and Fluttershy brings the tea at the right time.

"The Polo leader has come this way.

Is there something important? Bao Yuanqian reached out and took a sip of tea, but his arm shook slightly.

Although Bald Polo looked extremely rough, he was observant, and looked at Bao Yuanqian's slightly trembling hands and sighed lightly: "The angel still has to take care of his body, Polo is here not for anything else, but to send some "goods" to the angel to comfort you by the order of the Grand Master, hehe..."

Bao Yuanqian scolded secretly, and his heart was underestimated.

Master, that's the one with his fist up.... This hand tremor is not what Vulture Polo thought it would be.

It's still strange that Fang Cai's own hands are cheap, thinking that he has martial arts and punches the beams and pillars, but the pillars don't move at all but almost break his hands.

The punch he used was extremely powerful, and his hand was not broken, and he was trembling with pain when he was holding a cup of tea.

The servants carried these large and small boxes, more than ten of them, with a crisp and heavy sound.

"This is..."

Walked the vultures to a box, kicked open the box and said: "10,000 taels of silver is not a tribute, and the right should be the filial piety of the angels of the Warat tribes." ”

Bao Yuanqian stared at the shiny silver inside, and his heart was in a groove.

10,000 taels of silver, which is an astronomical amount.

The two brocade guards and Zhang Shanduan behind him were a little surprised, what does this bald Polo mean?

I only heard the bald Polo laugh again: "Without him, it's just that this time my two major departments of Warat join hands to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and I hope that the angel can say a few good words for me in front of the emperor.......".

He smiled, Bao Yuanqian knew that he still had the following, and the bald Polo really said: "The best.. It is most appropriate for the Great Emperor to crown me as a prince. In this way, with the title of the king of the Ming Dynasty, I can also more appropriately deter my subordinates. ”

"This silver tael was given to the angel by the Taishi, and in addition, my Hui Special Department will also privately send a batch of horses to the adult..."

After Bao Yuanqian heard what he said, his expression was solemn, and he thought in his heart that this bald Polo was borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. Taking Mahamu's silver to curry favor with himself is actually secretly trading with himself privately, and King Bo is here. Although they are an alliance, it seems that not everything is in the same spirit.

However, what surprised him even more was that in addition to offering horses to the Ming court, this vulture Polo would also privately offer horses to the envoys.

However, I also figured it out in an instant, these envoys of the Ming Dynasty often carried silver taels, and it was difficult to hide their eyes and ears when entering the country, so most of them were handed over to the imperial court. However, the horse was able to be traded by the envoy himself at the border, and the silver taels were exchanged for silver tickets and transferred to his own pocket.

It is said that the messenger is a high-risk industry, but there are people competing to do it, and it seems that there are both risks and benefits.

Looking at the posture of the vulture, he is well aware of the role played by the envoy between the two countries, and is obviously much more sophisticated than Mahamu in bribery, and it should not be the first time.

But the money himself was unblessed, but he was very tempted by the horses, and in that case... If you send it to the door, Bao Ye is welcome.

Bao Yuanqian waved back the three people behind him, pretending to be skillful and lowered his voice: "How many horses does the leader of Polo have this time?" ”

The bald Polo smiled and groaned: "According to the custom, it is a combination of horses and mules for the imperial court. To your lords, it is still calculated according to the year of Hongwu, horses. @ ”

Bao Yuanqian sighed when he heard this, showing a look of dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, the bald Polo asked, "What does the angel mean?" ”

Bao Yuanqian was puzzled: "The leader of Polo doesn't know, this time I encountered that ghost power, my Ming army suffered serious losses of horses, and many people were killed and wounded, horses and mules were mixed... I'm not very good at dealing with Shangguan. ”

The bald Polo also knew that the money was not only the emissary alone, but his boss would also get a share of the gray deal.

So he asked, "I don't know... What do angels mean? ”

Bao Yuanqian smiled and raised a finger and said, "Don't be a mule, I want a thousand purebred horses, if there are not enough, you can exchange one foal for one." ”

"A thousand good horses? This..."It made Bald Polo a little embarrassed, "If it's a thousand horses, this can be given to the imperial court..."

Bao Yuanqian naturally knew these rules of paying tribute at the border pass, and on the surface they were all horses, but in fact they were mixed with a lot of mules. It has been a common practice for decades to use horses, mules, and camels as a general term for horses, and the Ming Dynasty is not surprised, and it is not surprising that the Celestial Empire is the upper kingdom.

to be considered.

He smiled sheepishly and said, "These many horses and mules, wouldn't it be good to deduct them from the imperial court?" I know that your steppe pays tribute to horses, but the perennial horses and mules are mixed with different things, and after a few hundred hands and feet, I and Shangguan will talk to you about your plight and your suffering in front of the emperor, and you can still get a horse and mule under such difficulties, so as to show your sincerity. ”

The bald Polo nodded again and again as if he had just woken up from a dream: "What the angel said is extremely true, what he said is extremely true. So who do I send my subordinates to connect with this time? ”

Indeed, as Bao Yuanqian said, Bao Yuanqian is an angel who can reach the heavenly court in his heart, no matter how good the quality of the tribute to the imperial court is, if Bao Yuanqian returns to the court and says bad things about himself to the great emperor, not only will he give it in vain, but it will also be easy to offend the Ming Kingdom.

If he curry favor with the angels, even if the quality of the horses and mules is poor, but a few kind words in front of the emperor can be worth thousands of good horses, and this business is not a loss in his eyes.

Bao Yuanqian smiled, "I have a subordinate called Li Xuanzong's Iron Toad." I will inform him in these two days, and then you will send someone to settle with him, and I will definitely get a prince for the leader when I return to Daming. ”

How did the bald Polo know what was going on inside, and he was overjoyed when he was knocked on a bamboo pole by Bao Yuanqian, and he thanked him again and again and left.

Bao Yuanqian saw him leave, and his face smiled. His wishful thinking was loud, and he knew what he needed, not just a jade seal.

The jade seal is just a stepping stone, and the armor and horses are the ones to rely on.

In the past, he knew that Feng Saizhang had a close relationship with the Zala Yi'er Division, but after talking with Li Xuanzong and a few people yesterday, he realized that the other two disciples of Feng Saizhang were actually nobles of the Zala Yi'er Division.

Now I really wanted to doze off when someone sent a pillow, and this thousand war horses happened to be secretly sent to the Zarayier Department by Li Xuanzong.

Compared to this room full of useless silver... At that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to take it away in an emergency, let alone 10,000 taels, even 100,000 taels is also a mirror.

There is a saying in later generations that he has only now deeply realized, when you owe a million, you will not be able to sleep, and it is all in your dreams. When you owe 10 billion, you are relieved.

He is like this now, the thief is afraid of punishment day and night, and the thief of the country is no longer afraid, but he is just a dead bird facing the sky.

He stood in the hall with his hands in his hands, his heart was broad, and he said that he had done everything anyway, and it was not worse than this one or two. As if he was an extralegal fanatic, he jumped on the tip of the knife between the two countries, and Jiao Daming's edict also knocked the bamboo pole on the head of the lord of Wara. @*~~
