Chapter 65: Returning the Sword

After a few days like this, Xiaozhong felt quite bored, and the pain of missing the fragrant soul hit again, and his heart was sour, so he wanted to leave.

But I was afraid of pirate infestation, and when I came back, I didn't see what they should do, so I finally had a plan, thinking that there were a few brave strong men that day, and if I taught them the offensive and defensive skills taught by Mr. Nandong, it might not be impossible to defeat them with one enemy.

Thinking about it, he actually laughed, and said in his heart: I was quite tired of learning offensive and defensive skills with Mr. Nandong every day, but I didn't expect it to be useful, interesting.

So he called a few able young men and ordered them to prepare the open space and sand.

Zheng Yan, the son of the Zheng family, and Yuan Su, the son of the Yuan family, are the two most capable, and they have been busy with Xiaozhong around them, and they don't know what Xiaozhong is doing, but they are just his new way of playing, and they all do it.

I saw that Xiaozhong surrounded the sand and soil that he had transported, so he made up the sand inside, and ordered someone to prepare a cloth and straw stick to make it look like a small flag.

In this way, in about half a day, the terrain map of the entire village and the surrounding hills and the sea was ready.

In the evening, he ordered Zheng Yuan to find a few shrewd and capable young people to watch.

The second elder Zheng Yuan is also a person who has been on the battlefield, so he is naturally very pleased to understand Xiaozhong's actions, and they all fully support it.

Xiaozhong said: "If one day I am not there, what will happen if I encounter pirates again?" ”

Zheng Yan replied: "If you can get by, it's good, if you can't, find a place to hide." ”

The young people also felt justified.

Xiaozhong said: "This is not a long-term solution. ”

"There is a plan that requires a lot of people to participate in these days, would you like to?"

"Yes!" Everyone was very curious, and naturally obeyed Xiaozhong's orders, and they agreed one after another.

So Xiaozhong talked about the art of offense and defense on this topographic map. Several young people listened attentively.

On the second day, he began to order men to build walls, mounds, and gates for defense, and spears, halberds, bows, arrows, and shields for attack.

At the same time, he also ordered several young people who had been trained first to lead their own team of people to practice.

Although there was no drumming, two starting flags were always selected, and such a team was formed.

Second Elder Zheng Yuan saw it in his eyes, and Elder Zheng asked, "What do you see?" ”

Elder Yuan replied, "It seems that I saw General Jin ordering troops on the battlefield back then. ”

"Yes, this young man has the shadow of General Jin, but he seems to have experienced something, otherwise he must have something to do with General Jin, and he looks like he is leading the troops, but I don't know if it's feasible."

"On that day, we all saw that he was one enemy and one hundred, and I don't think there is anything that is not feasible."

In the past few days, the construction of the city wall gate is also nearing completion, and these teams have practiced a little, but it is difficult to find a person who can lead these teams, but I feel sorry for him.

I just want to get rid of them as soon as possible so that I can find the incense soul, and the wooden shelves for storing wine built high with wood have also become a place for Xiaozhong to command.

Xiaozhong was lying on this platform at the moment, thinking about how to train a leader who led the army to fight, after all, these hundreds of people are not child's play, if the command is not right, there will be heavy losses, so he turned over and sighed.

In the evening, Zheng Yan called Xiaozhong for dinner, Xiaozhong also felt hungry after hearing this, so he turned over and got off the high platform, and Zheng Yan clapped his hands and shouted: "The leader is good kung fu!" ”

Xiaozhong smiled and went to eat.

In the middle of the feast, someone came to report, "There is a big blue man in a brocade coat who wants to see the chief." ”

Xiaozhong was surprised and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"The man said he had come to deliver a sword to the chief."

"Send a sword?"

"Send a sword? What sword do I have? Xiaozhong was very puzzled when he heard this.

"Let him in first."

"Yes."

The man brought in the "big man in blue brocade", Xiaozhong was impatient when he saw it, this person was Jin Yu and Jin Ziqing.

I saw that Ziqing was still dressed in a blue brocade dress, his hair was hanging high, and he was in high spirits, holding his own sword in his hand, and carrying the dragon tail sword of filial piety behind him.

Filial piety and loyalty: It is so ghostly, he didn't die after those two palms, he really resisted the beating!

After Ziqing received the holy decree to return to the court, he had to return to Beijing to resume his life, and returned to the capital to return to his father, only to find Xiaozhong, but he was not sure.

In fact, Ziqing made up her mind that this person was Xiaozhong, but Xiaozhong's experience was difficult to explain, so he said that only his father knew, don't let the emperor know about it first, and talk about it when the time is ripe.

Jin Yuan knew that it was good that Xiaozhong was still alive no matter what, and Ziqing arranged other things, so he didn't ask too much.

So Ziqing went on a pilgrimage again.

Although today's Emperor Ming is not as free and easy as when he was King Ming, he may have experienced the catastrophe of life and death in the palace chaos, and his immature face has more maturity.

At this moment, the majesty of the emperor can still be seen under the crown, and the voice is also a little crisper, and after a salute by the monarch and ministers, Emperor Ming said: "Aiqing, since I ascended the throne, I have heard that you have been touring all the way to the east, what is the matter, can there be results in the east?" ”

Ziqing knew Emperor Ming's thoughts, and said: "I found someone who looks similar to Xiaozhong, but unfortunately Ziqing can't determine whether he is Xiaozhong himself." Now there is no trace of filial piety. ”

"Well, but if you look for it later, I'm afraid there will be results. Today I have summoned you to discuss something. ”

"Long live, please."

"Recently, I have been suffering from the turmoil at the border pass, and most of the government and the opposition are the former ministers of the former emperor, not only do they regard their military achievements as prominent, but they are all dying, it is really difficult to take command and sweep away the chaos, and the new ministers are hindered by the power of the old ministers.

It is not easy to come to the country that the emperor fought bloodily, so I still need capable people to help me protect it. ”

He sighed again: "In the past, Jin Yan and I discussed the strategy of governing the country when they were classmates, but now it has become a memory. ”

Hearing this, Ziqing hurriedly said: "Long live, the minister must do his best to find filial piety." ”

The Emperor shook his head, "Maybe this is God's arrangement. ”

"Right now, bandits in the East China Sea are frequently harassing the border, Ziqing, you will inspect the people's situation for me first, and if you harass me again in the future, I will send troops to help."

got off the throne again and walked in front of Ziqing, patted Ziqing on the shoulder and said, "Aiqing, do you understand my intentions?" ”

Ziqing is a smart person, so he naturally understands that Emperor Ming wants to cultivate capable people with cronies. Ziqing was upright and wanted to do something for the country and the people with his own strength, so he was naturally excited, and said: "The minister swears to help Banzai protect the people of the Nine Domains." ”

"Hmm", Emperor Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "One day, I, it would be great if I could see you Jin brothers fighting side by side again." ”

"The minister will not disgrace his life, and he will do his best to find filial piety."

"Okay." Later, Emperor Ming named Ziqing as a free rider and gave a token to enter the palace at any time, without being restricted by etiquette. Ziqing was grateful and kowtowed to thank him.

After meeting the emperor, Ziqing went to the general's mansion again.

When I opened the door, I saw that the inside was still the same, several servants were still there, Lao He was naturally guarding, and Lao He received Ziqing.

and told Ziqing that since Xiaozhong's accident, the Baili family has been taking care of the general's mansion, ordering servants to clean it every day, just hoping that Xiaozhong can come back.

Ziqing secretly sighed in her heart, walked out of the main hall, and came to the side room, and saw that Qin Yu's chair was empty, and the busy scene of Gongsun Qi Qin Yu Fushan in the past appeared in front of him again, and he was sad for a while, and went to Xiaozhong's bedroom again.

took the dragon tail sword he picked up on the execution ground back then, walked out of the door, and couldn't help but look back when he walked to the door.

Xindao: Xiaozhong, no matter what has happened to you, we are waiting for the day when you come back.

So he took his sword and toured all the way east.

Ziqing inquired all the way along the way, and sure enough, in recent years, how piracy in the East China Sea has been rampant, and how the people have struggled to make a living.

I also heard rumors from the people that what kind of savior came to the coast of the East China Sea, who was defeated by one enemy and one hundred bandits, and was regarded as the leader of the hundred people in the village.

Ziqing said in his heart: If there is really such a big hero, why not find a good general for the Nine Domains? Ziqing interjected and asked when she heard this: "That person's appearance is special, and it is easy to get acquainted if you have the fate to meet him." ”

Another person said: "That man is burly and dignified, but it is very strange that he usually wears a black scarf on his head, saying that if the black scarf is removed, it will cause a fire." ”

When Ziqing heard it, was it filial piety? If it's really him, then wouldn't it be worth the trip, and the best of both worlds? When I think of this, my heart is pounding.

But then I thought about it: What kind of leader, is it not a king to occupy the mountain without being crowned as a leader without the title of the court?

Thinking that he couldn't let Xiaozhong become a bandit, he inquired all the way and sent a sword in the name of sending a sword. Close to Hyozhong.

As soon as Ziqing saw Xiaozhong today, he was surrounded by everyone, and it was really the same as the rumors, so he wanted Xiaozhong to leave here as soon as possible.

But I want Xiaozhong to not recognize himself now, so he naturally has no previous feelings, so how can he listen to himself, so he wants to settle down and slowly look for opportunities.

I only heard Xiaozhong ask: "How can I have a sword when I am alone?" ”

Ziqing Fang thought of his intention, maybe he could think of something when he saw this dragon tail sword.

So he took out the sword from behind him, Xiaozhong naturally didn't recognize this sword, but he startled the two elders behind him, and the two exclaimed: "Dragon Tail Sword!" ”
