Akiba Mountain House.

"I have also heard of Sun Yan, who is the eye of the martial arts list. A mercenary person, do you really dare to use him? ”

Pei Zhang stood in the courtyard with his hands tied.

Chu Zhixia fetched a bucket of cold water, rolled up the skirt and sleeves, and scooped up the water with a clay pot and poured it over the sword body of the drinking stream snow. The flowing water was inexhaustible, and it quickly poured down from the sword, without any mud and water. The snow and silver of the drinking stream that had been washed by the clear water were as bright as the full moon, shining on Chu Zhixia's eyes.

"Profiteering is not scary, you can take him if you know what he wants. Sun Yan knew that he had no way out on the side of the family, and no one could give him what he wanted except me. Chu Zhixia raised the snow and swung his sword at the bright moon hanging high in the air, shaking down the clear light.

"What's more, you can't just rely on things like the righteousness of the world and Taiping Chang'an to drive people. It's also too levitating. Chu Zhixia said, "As long as he can protect the Fourth Highness, whether it is for the interests of money and power or for something else, what does it matter." ”

"The lives of our four highnesses are naturally precious, and they are worthy of my coercion and temptation." Chu Zhixia pushed the sword back to the sheath, and said freely and naturally.

Pei Zhang had nothing to say about this, he could only trust her vision, so he turned to say: "Now the government and the opposition are vigorously implementing the new policy, but you are still worrying about this fancy martial arts hall. Do you trust the imperial officials too much? ”

"On the contrary, it is precisely because I know that the new deal will have twists and turns that I first solve the issue of the martial arts." Chu Zhixia blinked and teased, "What bad news do you bring me?" ”

"Not yet, and it's because I don't have it that I feel uneasy." Pei Zhang sighed softly.

Chu Shixia also felt a little unusual.

Before the new deal landed, there was opposition from the government and the opposition, and Pei Cifu, who was on the bright side, had to be careful of his head when he went out to the court. The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and now that the New Deal is unstoppable, they are quiet. These people have been in the officialdom for many years, and they are well versed in dirty deals, and they will never be caught obediently.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

"As soon as the Chinese New Year's Eve is over, the new policy will be implemented immediately. It's March. ”

Chu Zhixia looked at the moon and said, "If it is convenient for Master Pei, you can send a few servants to the countryside to investigate." It may be difficult to see whether the squires are obstructing them, and whether the officials are privately giving and receiving them. But it's clear whether people have been displaced, whether there are people who don't have enough to eat. ”

"The first thing in the "Ten Concerts of Military and Political Affairs" is to recalculate the acres of military households. If even the cultivators can't do it with their own fields, presumably some people will deceive the superiors and subordinates, and the new policy will inevitably change its taste. ”

——

The lecture hall is located in the Lan Yuan where Emperor Taizu practiced martial arts, and the pear blossom branches with green branches cross the wall and hang low. Lan Yuan has been in disrepair for a long time, and after cleaning for so long, there is still a lingering smell of smoke and dust, only the sunlight cast between the branches of the pear trees is refreshing.

"My Great Zhou will immediately win the world, and His Majesty ordered the martial arts hall to be set up in Lanyuan, which is to encourage all princes to emulate the heroic and heroic Emperor Taizu and revitalize the imperial dynasty." The old minister with the goatee sang and sighed three times when he spoke, and he couldn't wait to break one word into six petals, and his voice was long.

There were three princes sitting at the bottom.

The third prince Bai Yu, the fourth prince Bai Ziche and the fifth prince who have just learned to read and write. The rest are all on the list of martial arts performances, and they have been selected by the princes themselves.

Sun Yan wore a brand-new uniform, holding a knife that was not lined with his hands, and pinned a golden chrysanthemum mark representing the prince's companion at his waist. It was as if a rolling pin had been stuck in his back, the pen on his back was stiff, and the muscles on his face were tense like stones.

Bai Ziche was dressed in plain clothes, cleaned up neatly, lifted the pen and hung it on the paper, waiting for Mr. to speak, and a drop of ink on the tip of the pen hit the paper and smudged.

Bai Ziche seems to be well-behaved and dull, but in fact, in the entire lecture hall, how many yawns the three princes, how many buttocks he writhed impatiently, and Sun Yan's serious look as if he wanted to engrave every word that Mr. said into his head with all his eyes.

Mr. is an old courtier, who participated in the northern expedition led by the king of Zhenbei thirty years ago, and is one of the few people in the imperial capital who has witnessed the limelight of the Chu clan with his own eyes. He talked eloquently in front of him, and his words were all admiring the spicy and charming women of the grassland, taking a bite of the sizzling roast leg of lamb and the scenery of cattle and sheep in the wind-blown grass.

The old gentleman drank tea in the mountains, and halfway through the drink, he took his pants and went out to Gong, and this time he dragged on until the end of the class and did not come back.

The third prince had long been impatient, if it weren't for Bai Huan's entrustment, he wouldn't have come to this Laoshizi's martial arts hall at all. He called his companion to pack up his things and leave, and looked at Bai Ziche with unkind eyes for a while while while waiting.

Bai Ziche followed him, and smiled at him politely.

"I heard you were bitten by a snake." The third prince sneered, "Why aren't you dead yet?" ”

"The third brother said that he laughed, naturally it was His Majesty's heavenly blessing." Bai Ziche does not leak a drop of water.

"Sooner or later." The third prince raised his chin arrogantly and strode out of the lecture hall.

Bai Ziche calmly wrote something on the table, and Sun Yan waited patiently for him. Soon only Bai Ziche and Sun Yan were left in the lecture hall, and the sound of the wind passing through the forest was like cannibalization. Bai Ziche picked up the paper he had written, dried it, and handed it to Sun Yan.

Sun Yan took it over in confusion, "Your Highness? ”

Bai Ziche was also stunned, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you take a look?" ”

Sun Yan said sincerely: "Your Highness, your subordinates are illiterate. ”

Bai Ziche was stunned for a moment and laughed, "I see." ”

Sun Yan was embarrassed by his laughter and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Before he came, he only heard that Bai Ziche was a very easy-going person who liked to paint, but he didn't have a bad reputation for killing people. Sun Yan looked at Bai Ziche's appearance, and thought that Bai Ziche was a weak and weak little highness, no wonder Chu Zhixia wanted him to protect this person.

But Bai Ziche smiled, as if it was not the case, free and easy as a master in the world. Who can bully him? I'm afraid it's hard to even get into his eyes.

"Mo Xue told me that Yu Linwei's income is not high, and you have to support your family, I'm afraid you won't have the money to buy a military book." Bai Ziche said truthfully, "This is a military book I saw in the palace library, which was used for enlightenment, so I will write it to you silently." ”

Sun Yan was a little confused, why couldn't he take it out directly. But he felt that the question was too deep to ask.

Bai Ziche seemed to see through him, and said with his hand: "The third brother doesn't allow me to bring books out of the library." ”

Sun Yan was a little incredulous, and said in a very low voice: "It turns out that His Highness is also so difficult. ”

"Who in this world is not difficult?" Bai Ziche didn't care and said with a smile.

"But since you can't read, you're in some trouble." Bai Ziche thought for a while and said, "Why don't I teach you to read and write, you and Ah Yan will learn together." ”

"Ayan?"

"My brother, Your Highness the Sixth." Bai Ziche casually fiddled with the pages of the book and said, "You are Yu Linwei, although you don't need to charge into battle, but familiarizing yourself with the art of war is also conducive to dealing with people, so as not to be harmed by others one day - but I can only memorize it, and I can't read these." ”

Sun Yan patted his ass awkwardly, "Your Highness is smart ......"

Bai Ziche smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him, "I really can't read." However, Mo Xue said, I don't have the opportunity to lead troops to fight, and it doesn't matter if I don't understand. People like me only need to do one thing when war breaks out. ”

"What's the matter?" Sun Yan asked recklessly.

"Give me food and grass."

Both of them laughed at once.
