Chapter 609: I don't want to see it, but I still need to see it
Crouching Tiger City Taifu Mansion. Zhao Xingzheng held his hands behind his back and quietly watched a few half-grown children in the courtyard learn the art of fencing. The children ranged in age from eight to 12 years old, with almost half of the male and half of the children being male. They or their bodies all have Zhao Xing's blood flowing in them, and they are the most precious "wealth" that Zhao Xing has since he came to this time and space.
As a father, Zhao Xing was often unable to teach his children personally, to take them to the suburbs to release paper kites in the spring, to swim in the Fen River in the middle of summer, to experience the joy of farmers harvesting grains in the golden autumn, and to build snowmen on the snowfields in the north in the middle of winter, but there is no doubt that the children loved their father very much.
Today, the children heard that their father was coming to see them show the progress they had made since learning fencing, so they all put on the martial arts uniforms carefully sewn by their mothers, and showed all the fencing skills taught by Grandpa Tong in front of Zhao Xing.
Tong Yuan, whose beard is white, has now settled in Crouching Tiger City, because he likes the thriving and vigorous spirit in this city that has only been built for more than ten years. Tong Yuan, a generation of grandmasters who are close to the sixtieth birthday, has traveled many places in his life and seen many tragic and desolate stories in the world, so when he is old, he enjoys the peace and calm in Crouching Tiger City that cannot be experienced elsewhere.
Zhao Xing stood on the steps of the eaves, squinting at the children in the shade of the trees, and the children who had finished training looked at their father expectantly.
Zhao Xing showed a satisfied expression and said to the children: "Children, I haven't come to see you practice fencing for a while, everyone's progress is obvious, I am very satisfied." In order to reward you for your hard work during this time, in a few days, Daddy will take you to the depths of Taihang Mountain to hunt, and by the way, catch a few little leopards and come back to raise!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" The children, who were all serious just now, immediately exploded happily after hearing their father's affirmation and promised rewards, and rushed up together to surround Zhao Xing.
Not far away, Zhao Xing's two or so new directors, Chen Qi and Li Ru, were chatting with Tong Yuan. Chen Qi complained with some dissatisfaction: "Guochang is okay with everything else, that is, forcing the children to learn martial arts all day long, and they are not divided into men and women, how to ensure the continuation of the inheritance of Jiangshan Sheji in the future?"
Chen Jue's words are vague, but to the effect that after Zhao Xing ascends the throne and becomes emperor, the children should govern the country more than fight fiercely, so they should learn more about governing the country rather than martial arts.
Tong Yuan listened to Chen Qi's words, and there was no displeasure on his face, but said leisurely: "In addition to learning martial arts, how these children behave, and even how to govern the country in the future, Guochang has formulated a special training plan according to the temperament of each child, and it will not be bad in the future, after all, it is Guochang himself who teaches them!"
Li Ru nodded and agreed: "I have heard the lord say that literature can rejuvenate the country, martial arts can be safe, and the way of civil and military affairs cannot be abandoned, otherwise either the country is weak and unable to protect the people, or the reckless military force will harm the Quartet, in short, it will be difficult to escape the way of destruction." Teaching children to have a martial spirit from an early age is very important for the Han people to sweep the wilderness and eight wildernesses in the future. ”
When the three of them were discussing the way of civil and martial arts, Zhao Xing had already let the children leave the yard to play, he slowly walked behind a few people, and when he heard the topic of discussion, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Recently, the master has taught this group of children who have been accustomed to being wild by me, and you have been tired!" Zhao Xing saluted Tong Yuan and expressed his gratitude.
Tong Yuan and his cheap apprentice now get along very well, so he made an exception to teach apprentices from generation to generation, and he said to Zhao Xing: "Staying in the city, if you don't find something to do, it will make my old bones uncomfortable." Not to mention, among your group of children, there are a few very good bones, and if they are carefully taught, they may be able to achieve the same martial arts achievements as Zilong in the future. ”
Zhao Xing quipped: "The master is still eccentric, why don't you praise my martial arts!"
Tong Yuan glanced at Zhao Xing and said, "You stinky boy, I don't know how to come up with so many insidious and vicious tricks, all the tricks are deadly means, I don't dare to admit that you learned from me!"
Zhao Xing was born as a special forces battalion commander in his previous life, and he was naturally extremely good at hand-to-hand combat and assassination techniques, and the special forces fighting techniques he knew were the simplest and most effective killing methods carefully compiled and evolved by the martial arts masters of various factions specially hired in the army. After Tong Yuan saw it, he faintly felt that his back molars were sour, so he felt that this apprentice really didn't feel like he had learned the skills from the secret books he had passed on.
While several people were talking, Li Jinsi wiped the sweat on his face that came out of the hot weather with a handkerchief, and shouted at Zhao Xing from afar: "Brother Xing, Yuan Shao's turtle son was escorted back to the party by Peng Jian, and now they are locked up in the headquarters, as well as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Fu Zhu, Feng Ji, Ju Pei, Xin Bi, Xun Chen...... , tsk, there are so many people, and I don't know what means General Zilong and the others used to catch Yuan Shao's minions so completely!"
"Oh, Yuan Shao is here, what about Zhang Ji?" After Zhao Xing listened to Li Jinsi's words, he didn't show much eagerness, but was very concerned about whether the medical saint Zhang Ji arrived smoothly. In his opinion, the combined value of ten Yuan Shao is not as good as any of Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji, Ma Jun and others, because he knows very well that it is scientists who really promote social development and progress, not politicians who play with power.
Being asked by his cousin like this, Li Jinsi felt a little surprised, and he thought that as soon as Zhao Xing heard the news that Yuan Shao was escorted to Crouching Tiger City, he would immediately take someone to teach this guy a hard lesson. Some time ago, after a large number of Jin merchants were arrested and brutally slaughtered, Zhao Xing cursed Yuan Shao's family a lot, and said a lot of cruel things about peeling skin and cramps.
Li Jinsi replied: "The medical saint Zhang Ji naturally came to Crouching Tiger City with the fleet heading north, and I have already asked people to place him in the most high-class courtyard in the Yingbin Garden, and sent someone to invite the Hua Shen Doctor and several of his high-ranking disciples to come to the Yingbin Garden to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the medical saint!"
"Well, very good, we will also go over to the Yingbin Garden now, and everyone will pick up the wind for the medical saint Zhang Ji tonight!" Zhao Xing said.
Li Jinsi asked with some hesitation: "But, Brother Xing, is Yuan Shao's group of people locked up like this?"
Zhao Xing frowned, sighed and said, "I really don't want to see that old boy Yuan Shao, although I can't wait to smoke his skin and pick his tendons, but I still have some use for him in the future." As for the unruly civil and military followers under him, it is estimated that if I go to see them now, I will definitely attract a lot of insults, so I will simply shut them up for a few days, I don't want to see their ghost faces!"
