Volume I, Chapter 37. Brothers practice martial arts at dawn, and Mrs. Inn recruits thieves
Early in the morning, Li Yu and Li Longzhan were shouted by Zhao Shu. Li Longzhan got up obediently and got dressed. After Li Longzhan got dressed, Li Yu was still lying on the bed and didn't want to wake up, "Oops! So early ... What are you doing when you get up? ”
Zhao Shu urged: "Okay." I haven't practiced for a few days, and I haven't practiced for three days, so I got up quickly. Look at your brother Long Zhan, he has already packed up, and he will leave you. ”
Li Yu slowly got up, looked at the window with sleepy eyes, saw the darkness outside through the window paper, and yawned: "Ah~ It's not dawn this day?" ”
Long Zhan said: "Second brother, it's already the time of the dawn, it's time to get up and practice." ”
Li Yu gave himself a reason, "I'm injured and need to rest more." ”
Zhao Shu saw that Li Yu couldn't afford to be late, "Do you remember the one who fought with you at that time, your cousin Zhitian of Uncle Liu Zhan's family?" Last time, people suffered a loss, but now they are practicing hard every day for the next time they meet and win against you? ”
When Li Yu heard this, he immediately got up, and the young man's desire to win was suddenly stimulated, and he said in his heart: "No! It was a fluke to win last time. I don't know what the situation will be next time, so I'll have to practice. So, I got up and dressed.
Li Yu and Li Longzhan were ready to go, and when they walked out of the room, they saw that the people below had already started to get busy working, including Jian Xin and Dulan. Zhao Shu took Li Yu and Li Longzhan to the front of the inn, and the east was white. It's April, and the morning air is still a little cold.
Zhao Shu said: "Now, we are in the west of the city. In the city, it must not be used, so we have to go out of the city. It just so happens that your brothers are comparing their feet to see who gets out of the city first. Move your body. ”
Li Yu and Li Longzhan moved, and then the two of them put on a posture, and Zhao Shu gave an order, "Let's start!" The two brothers ran like two wild horses on the loose, and they ran quickly towards the gate on the west side of the city. Now in the city, except for some early sellers, there are not many people, so the two brothers can run on the roads in the city without any scruples. Zhao Shu was unhurried and followed behind the two with a relaxed face.
After all, Li Longzhan is two years older than Li Yu, so he has to run faster than Li Yu. Li Yu looked at his brother's figure getting farther and farther away, desperately chasing after him, his left chest gradually ached, and his mouth began to gasp. However, Li Yu still did not slow down his pace, covered his chest with one hand, gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward. Seeing that he was about to reach the west gate of the city, Li Yu saw the end point that was close at hand, used his best strength, sped up his speed, and finally at the last moment, caught up with his brother Li Longzhan, and the brothers arrived at the city gate almost at the same time.
When he arrived at the city gate, Li Yu sat on the ground, panting heavily. Zhao Shu walked over and praised Li Yu: "Not bad, not bad." Control your breathing and use the exercises I taught you to relieve the pain in your body. After Li Yu heard this, he sat on the ground and began to recuperate for himself.
After half a cup of tea, Zhao Shu said, "Let's go." ”
Li Yu was a little reluctant, "Master Zhao, it's only a long time, let's go." ”
Zhao Shu said lightly: "Yes, let's leave now." You know, this time I told Long Zhan in advance not to let him speed up last. Otherwise, in the last part of the road, if your brother also sped up. You will never be able to catch up with him. ”
"But. But. My brother was older than me, and I was injured. ”
"That's why I didn't let your brother speed up. Okay, let's go. At this time, Zhao Shu did not intend to be merciful to Li Yu, and the kindness to him now may lead to a catastrophe in the future. Zhao Shu knows that in the face of the existing difficulties, he must do his best to face them, instead of making excuses for himself, otherwise he will die without a place to be buried.
Li Yu stood up, shook his body, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, "Okay!" Let's go. ”
At this time, the sun is already shining on everything, and the morning dew is shining with crystal colors. The three of them ran on the road and came to a relatively wide wood, the green leaves of the forest blocked part of the sunlight, Zhao Shu said, "Take a break." Think about the basic exercises and moves I called you before. I'm going to have a rehearsal in a while. ”
The two brothers replied in unison, "Yes." After the break, the brothers began to practice.
With the passage of time, two hours have passed since leaving the inn, and the two brothers are tired and exhausted under the leadership of Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu looked at the exhausted two and said, "Okay." That's all for today's practice, take a break, and we're ready to go back. ”
After Li Yu heard this, he seemed to be relieved, his hands and feet were spread out, and he lay on the grass in a large shape, feeling the coolness of the grass and the warmth of the sun shining on his body. Suddenly, Li Yu seemed to remember something, sat up, and asked Zhao Shu, "Master Zhao, why can't I use my flower dance steps as freely as you?" ”
Zhao Shu replied: "Flower dance steps are originally a relatively complex footwork. This footwork is the Zhenjiang League, which is now the Oath Jiang League, the sister of the alliance leader Hua Tieshan, Hua Xiaofu Woman, according to the Beidou step of the Hua family exercises, evolved. Both move in the shape of a dipper as a point. The difference is that Beidoubu is an instantaneous seven-star movement with himself as his heavenly power. And the flower dance is based on the opponent's position as the heavenly power, to move, although the two seem to be not much different. But there is a big difference between actual practice and actual use. However, they all have one thing in common: they are flexible and changeable, and they need to make the best position judgment based on the opponent's actions. It's just that you're still too young, and you still need to grow in the use of directions and body techniques, as long as you practice diligently, you will slowly open up. Dragon War, do you want to learn to watch it too? ”
Li Longzhan replied: "Okay." I also asked Master Zhao to teach me, but what I wanted to learn more was my father's body style. ”
Zhao Shu smiled, "Your Yinlong Villa's posture, and even martial arts, highlight a characteristic, that is, vigorous and resolute. Your father's body is like a fierce tiger pounced, and he really walks with the wind. To practice that kind of body, the internal strength and physique must be in place, otherwise you won't be able to make that feeling. Alright, we're almost done, let's go back. ”
The three of them got up and walked in the direction of the city. When the three of them returned to the inn, as soon as they entered the door, they saw that everyone, including Jian Xin, was neatly lined up in three rows, standing inside the inn.
Li Zhentian, Ouyang Lan and Mrs. Zhou were in front of everyone, facing everyone. Ouyang Lan asked his subordinates, "Which of you took it?" ”
The people whispered, but no one answered Ouyang Lan's question.
Ouyang Lan raised her voice and threatened, "I'll ask again, which of you took the jade belt from my room with the owner." If I were to find out for myself, I would never have a good fruit to eat. ”
Mrs. Zhou followed Ouyang Lan's words and added: "I tell you, that jade belt was given by the emperor, which of you has unclean hands and feet, if you are caught, it is definitely a crime of killing your head, but you have to think clearly." ”
As soon as these words came out, the subordinates didn't even have the sound of whispering, and they looked at each other one by one.
When Ouyang Lan saw this scene, she looked at everyone and nodded, and said angrily: "Don't admit it." Okay, I'm going to find someone right now. Ouyang Lan was ready to go out.
Li Zhentian stopped and said, "Lan'er, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'll go find someone, and I'll ask Brother Liu to arrange for the people from the Jiang League to come one by one, look for them carefully, and check them carefully."
"Why do you let the people of the Sworn Jiang League interfere in everything, are they just doing nothing every day and are here to do things for us?"
When Ouyang Lan heard this, her tone became even more impulsive, "Okay! I don't swear to Jiang League, I will only look for my brother-in-law and Brother Han. They definitely have a way. ”
"I think it's better for us to solve everything by ourselves first, and then go to someone to help if we can't solve it. We can't rely on others for something, and in the future, when these people are not around, what should we do? ”
"And what do you mean?"
"Let's interrogate one by one ourselves, even if we really can't find it, I'll go to the emperor, and then ask someone to do one."
Zhou Weimin stepped forward and said, "Yes, sister." Now the official is a big celebrity around the emperor, what is a jade belt! ”
"What's the matter with you!" Ouyang Lan is angry now, and she doesn't have a good face for anyone. After Zhou Weimin heard this, he walked away stupidly.
"Lan'er, the two of us went to play yesterday and came back late. If it had been taken care of beforehand, there would have been no such thing. But now that it's happened, let's try to find it first. If it really doesn't work, I'll go and ask the emperor for another one, don't be so angry. ”
Ouyang Lan was silent.
Li Zhentian continued: "It was originally the emperor's reward for us to participate in the enthronement ceremony, is it possible that without a jade belt, we can't participate in this enthronement ceremony?" ”
"But." Ouyang Lan wanted to speak and stopped, sighed lightly, and had to compromise. "Okay. Let's check for ourselves first. ”
Li Zhentian said to his subordinates: "You steal things to get some money. Just now, my second wife also said, this is a gift from the emperor, you can't pour it out even if you take it, if you find out, it will still be the crime of killing your head. If you really have difficulties and need money, as long as you return the things, I will help you solve your difficulties, please rest assured, I Li Zhentian said to do it. As long as we voluntarily send it back, we will treat it as if it never happened. ”
Li Zhentian's words were very authoritative and sincere, which made these subordinates admire. Rao is so, or no one has come forward to admit it. Li Zhentian said again: "There are still four days left in the enthronement ceremony, as long as I come before that, I will not blame the past." But at the moment, interrogation is still indispensable. Stand up in a moment, and we'll ask you one by one. ”
Ouyang Lan remembered something, and said to the three foremen: "The usual work is arranged by you. If you think about it, who entered or cried in our room yesterday. ”
The three people nodded, and began to explain to Ouyang Lan. After Ouyang Lan heard this, she said to her subordinates, "Okay." You are all standing in line, and we have to ask one by one, and no one is missing. ”
