But listen to a deep voice.

Xue Jun was a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform and a waist pinched to the court, and it seemed that he had just returned from the palace.

This man has a serious face, good facial features, and he is also a handsome man with a lofty spirit. It's just that there is a deep scar on the right cheek, which makes people inevitably look a little intimidating.

"Who are you?" Xue Junwei only recognized the official uniform, and this man's official uniform was still a civil official, but he didn't know how many tattoos he knew.

The middle-aged man asked people to evacuate the surrounding courtyards, put his hands behind his back, and said with some appreciation on his face: "I am the prince of this academy, and I am also the prince of the dynasty. ”

The Prince's Princess... That's a respected official.

Xue Junwu threw the long stick in his hand and immediately bowed down.

Sikong Qiye stretched out his hand to help: "No need to be polite, let me go in and talk." ”

After speaking, Sikong Qiye took Xue Junwu into his usual study.

In the study hall, the first thing I saw when I entered the door was a sparkling black armor and a three-foot carved sword.

Xue Jun was so greedy that he couldn't help but get closer and take a look, it was really even a treasure.

"The name of this sword is Wu'an, given by His Majesty." Seeing that Xue Junwu cared so much, Sikong Qiye stood in front of the bookcase and said.

Xue Jun hurriedly retracted his gaze, walked in the direction of the bookcase, and asked, "Taifu still fights?" ”

Sikong Qiye seemed to be in a good mood, raised his somewhat tired eyebrows, looked at the young man in front of him with a pleasant face, and said, "When the old man first became the crown prince, he taught the crown prince and the two princesses homework. Since you are the princess of Anyang, you will call me uncle, and you will not lose. ”

"Uncle Shi." Although he didn't know why this adult treated him like this, Xue Junwu still saluted again and shouted happily.

Sikong Qiye smiled, responded gently, and answered his last question: "The old man used to be the deputy general of the Loyal Liehou, but now he is not talented, and he has become a lieutenant of the imperial court with the merits that the Loyal Liehou led me to play." ”

"It turns out that you are the hussar general who defeated the Eastern Liao and attacked the Northern Huan, and became the imperial lieutenant?" Xue Jun's face was full of shock, he had already heard of the reputation of this captain.

In addition to him and a dozen followers, 300,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered by the Ming thief Kou Shengsheng, including the loyal martyr Marquis, Li Yi, the general of the imperial court at that time.

Recalling the memories of being in Dongzhou at that time, Xue Jun said with great admiration: "Uncle Shi deserves his name, if there were no you back then, more counties in Dongzhou would have been slaughtered." ”

"Oh? Listening to you, have you experienced the war back then? Sikong Qiye showed a trace of doubt on his face, but he didn't look like the young man in front of him, after all, it had been twenty years since the Dongming Rebellion.

Xue Junwei realized that he had said the wrong thing, obviously he had just been born at that time, so he changed his words: "Listen to what my adoptive grandfather told me, the Xue family picked me up when they were in Dongzhou, and told me about the war and life experience. To tell you the truth, they are still hoping that I will one day avenge the death of my own parents and family. ”

Sikong Qiye looked at the young man in front of him, remembering the sassy and heroic posture of the young man holding a stick just now, which seemed to remind him of the back of the loyal martyr Marquis standing with a knife, and after a while, he nodded warmly and said: "There will be that day." ”

Xue Junwei also nodded, and said bluntly in his heart: "Slaughtering the Ming country, the great entropy is the wish of all the people." ”

"Slaughter? Why? Sikong Qiye looked at him, and felt that the word slaughter was too much to come out of the mouth of a young man who had just reached the crown, and he had heard of the rumors of this son in the market, but he never expected that this son was too ruthless.

"When the people of Ming slaughtered the city, 300,000 soldiers and civilians couldn't put together a complete corpse, and they still took pleasure in killing people by changing the law. This kind of evil neighbor, this kind of thief, is not a man, but a beast. If you want peace for generations, the only way to destroy it is to destroy its roots. ”

Listening to Xue Jun's worrying words, Sikong Qiye couldn't help but gasp, this kid is too murderous, if no one guides him, he will definitely do a terrible disaster. But it's no wonder that His Majesty likes it, and such a personality is indeed similar to His Majesty.

"By the way, tell me, why do you want to teach?" Sikong Qiye asked.

Xue Jun replied worriedly: "The junior has already said that Mr. Jiao Xi insulted my family, and I couldn't get used to being so corrupt, so I beat him." ”

Hearing this, Sikong Qiye was puzzled, and asked casually: "I saw that you have such a strong personality, and I thought that the sect would insult your family, and you would burst out and kill him, but I didn't expect you to just want to beat him?" ”

Xue Jun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say to himself, is his reputation already like this? So he answered, "Why should I kill him because he is not guilty?" ”

"But he insulted your family, didn't he?"

"Although I am short-tempered, I still understand the law, not to mention that I just hammered a bully to death not long ago, and I dare not do anything that violates the law again."

"Hehe, you're pretty smart."

"Not smart." Xue Jun replied with a smile: "I just gave the princess a face, she has been married for so many days, she has been very good to me, in fact, I wanted to endure it and not cause trouble for the princess." It's just that the teacher scolded me, and even scolded my family, but I couldn't bear it. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Sikong Qiye was silent, and he was a little unsure of this child.

Although it is said to be murderous, it is sensible, and more importantly, it is affectionate, but he is also a malleable talent.

After a while, Sikong Qiye thought a lot: "You need a master who can bring you into the world." ”

"Join?" Xue Junwu thought that he had heard it wrong, he was overjoyed in his heart, a little too excited, and asked again: "Uncle Shi, can I really enter the office?" ”

Sikong Qiye frowned, feeling that the child's eyes seemed to have changed suddenly, and replied: "That's right, everyone needs to enter the WTO, if they don't join the WTO, how can they be born." As the saying goes, only when you enter the world can you understand the way of the world. ”

It turned out to be this world...

Xue Jun's heart was cold, Bai was happy, his face was full of excitement, and he replied in a low voice: "The younger generation is here to learn." ”

Although he didn't know why this kid was lost again, Sikong Qiye still said to him: "Although it is true that Junde Academy teaches the six arts of virtue, most of the teachings here respect saints, and they are all hostile to businessmen, and some lectures are not suitable for you, I will teach you in the future, you can learn from me every day." ”

"With you? The crown prince and the princess..."

Xue Jun was very surprised in his heart, the crown prince and the prince taught him personally, so wouldn't he be treated the same as the crown prince?

"What? You don't want to. Sikong Qiye looked at the young man in front of him with a somewhat shocked expression, and then asked.

Xue Jun heard this and immediately nodded: "Yes, yes." ”

After speaking, Xue Junwu seemed to be afraid that this uncle would regret it, so he hurriedly made a great bow to his teacher.

Sikong Qiye nodded and smiled with satisfaction, this can be regarded as the completion of the entrustment given to him by His Majesty, and when he saw this young man today, he couldn't help but recall the scenes of the Loyal Martyr Marquis again.

This son is like a jade, if he is meticulously crafted, he is destined to become a commander like the Loyal Marquis.

Thinking in his heart, Sikong Qiye slowly got up, walked towards the door, and said to Xue Jun behind him: "You come with me." ”

... ...

followed to a warm pavilion, Sikong Qi stopped in front of a sand table at night, and Xue Junwu also stopped behind.

This sand table is generally used for war planning, Xue Jun looked at it worriedly, the terrain was a little rugged, and the mountains and rivers were also intricate, so he was a little confused.

Sikong Qiye turned his head to look at the young man in front of him, and immediately asked: "I heard that you have been studying outside since you were ten years old, how about it, can you understand where this sand table is?" ”

Xue Jun shook his head and said, "I have been practicing martial arts with the Taoist teacher in Nanzhou Menghuaze, and this sand table doesn't look like Nanzhou. ”

"Then you can guess." Sikong Qiye looked at him, his serious face showing kindness.

"Dongzhou."

"That's right. But why did you think of Dongzhou all of a sudden? ”

"Because when I was in prison, I often heard from a friend that there were gangsters in Dongzhou and there was chaos."

"Then what do you think we should do in Gyeonggi in such a situation?"

"Uh." Xue Jun replied with a wry smile: "I'm just a businessman, and it's a capital crime to talk about the government in vain, Uncle Shi, don't you want to kill me." ”

Sikong Qiye immediately said: "I want to kill you, do you still need to use this kind of villain behavior?" ”

"That's right."

Xue Junwu still smiled bitterly, although this was rough, it seemed to make sense. After all, he is one of the three dukes, and if he wants to die, there is a chance for him to die, but the most important thing is that there is no reason to let him die, and he has not offended anyone.

But then again, he offended the fourth princess, and it is hard to guarantee that this captain has nothing to do with the fourth princess.

"Don't worry, I'm from the army, what conspiracy can I have to bully your child." A smile curled up at the corner of Sikong Qiye's mouth, so he said:

"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen a young man like you, and it even reminds me of the loyal martyr of the past."

"General Li Yi..." Xue Junwei frowned tightly, as if he had some inferiority complex in his heart, and said: "I am not worthy of being compared with the Loyal Martyr Marquis, General Li Yi is able to govern the country and be able to secure the country, and the people in the market are all praised." ”

"But I hope you can become that kind of person, your stick method reminds me of the appearance of the loyal martyr Marquis galloping on the battlefield, such a talent, should not be idle because of his identity." Sikong Qiye said it very bluntly.

Xue Junwei has also racked his brains to study, and naturally he can understand the meaning of the words, this is to train himself into a general, because the big entropy does not have an explicit rule that businessmen are not allowed to be generals.

This is a good thing, because when he returned to the imperial capital, he originally thought the same thing.

"You're a smart kid, you should be able to understand what I'm saying." Seeing that Xue Jun seemed to hesitate, Sikong Qiye looked into his eyes and said: "With the courage of ten thousand people, you should bring a three-foot sword, gallop on the battlefield, and make immortal achievements." ”

This sentence made Xue Jun worried, but he still lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and replied: "But the junior is a concubine, even if Your Majesty agrees, then I don't think my princess will agree." ”

"You underestimate Princess Anyang too much." Sikong Qiye said with a smile on his face: "But it is indeed a little difficult to suddenly let the princess accept it, I only ask if you want to make contributions to the country, if you want to, I naturally have a way to let the princess accept it." ”

That being the case, Xue Junwu naturally had nothing to hesitate about, so he happily agreed: "That junior naturally thinks that my parents' family was slaughtered by the people of Mingguo, and I have long wanted to repay the country in shame." ”

Sikong Qiye nodded with satisfaction, put his eyes back on the sand table, and said: "Then I won't tell you about this Dongzhou today, only about the dangerous terrain of this place, where to use soldiers, where to hide soldiers, all as the foundation, and when you understand everything, then talk about how to break the Liukou in Dongzhou, or how to break into the county seat." ”

"Okay, please also ask Uncle Shi to teach you the way of using soldiers."

Xue Jun was worried and rejoiced, and even a wave of excitement that was difficult to contain. When there is really no way out, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, and by mistake, he can directly cross the process of being cannon fodder.

In this way, he would like to thank the teacher who insulted him, without that gentleman, he really can't be appreciated by this captain.

But what Xue Junwu didn't know was that he could be like this, and the most important thing to thank belonged to His Majesty the Emperor, who was far away in the palace and was using him as a chess piece to put on the chessboard.
