Chapter 14: Basic Martial Arts I (Revised)
Begonia followed behind the reef and went to find her grandfather, Haixi Cliff.
Just now General Gu sent someone to bring something to Haixi Cliff, so he went to the front yard with his cousin Xie Wenzai to receive him. Now that the visitor had left, the two cousins took the burden of account books back to the second courtyard. Xie Wenzai cleaned up his house in advance and made a study for his cousin Haixi Ya to check the accounts, which was more conducive to confidentiality and would not affect the lives of others in the family.
When Haijiao and Begonia came to the second courtyard, they heard the second uncle Hai Chang'an reporting to Haixi Cliff: "...... It should be that person who is not secretive, and the person who called Sun Yonglu noticed it and followed him all the way. Fortunately, the man found out in time and pretended to be looking for Wang Chengfu, so that no one could see him enter our house with his baggage. But Sun Yonglu's people are still suspicious of us, so they will linger in front of the door. Although this time the prevarication has passed, I don't know if he will come back in the future. ”
Xie Wenzai said to Haixi Cliff: "Maybe it was Liu Keren who sent the people arranged by Sun Yonglu at the gate of the city with the front foot, and personally welcomed our family into the city with the back foot, which made Sun Yonglu's people suspicious. He may not have really discovered anything, but Sun Yonglu has been used to making people stare at the generals, so he will come to inquire about it. ”
Perhaps, they had Liu Keren's connections in Suzhou City, but they still queued up outside the city for a few days before entering the city, which was unreasonable, and it was also the reason why Sun Yonglu's subordinates were suspicious.
Haixi Cliff said in a deep voice: "I used to be a little famous in Suzhou City. If that person has the heart to inquire, sooner or later he will find out who I am, and he will not even be able to hide the news from your cousin. Go back and send a message to Liu Keren, so that he can come to our house a few times less, so as to save attention. When I finish checking the accounts and have the results, the generals will be able to do their jobs. Cousin, don't go out for the time being, lest you get into trouble. ”
Xie Wenzai nodded solemnly: "Cousin, don't worry." We will recuperate at home. ”
Hai Xiya said to Hai Chang'an again: "Fortunately Wang Chengfu helped cover it up today, and the medicine of the little stone is also thanks to his help, you can thank him well when you go back, and then let your mother send a generous gift to his family." ”
Hai Changan smiled: "Don't worry, Dad, my son knows what to do." ”
When he had finished speaking, he went back to his room. He went out today and bought some gadgets for his son, which he used to coax the child.
Haijiao entered the house: "Grandpa, I'...... I have something to say to you. ”
Hai Xiya looked at his grandson, and he was still a little angry in his heart. Xie Wenzai thought that Haijiao was here to admit his mistake to his grandfather, so he got up with a smile and said, "I'll go and talk to Lao Cao and Lao Lu about the account books, cousin, you and Baoshun have a good talk, don't be angry." After that, he went out, closed the door very intimately, and smiled at Haitang who was standing by the door, "Tangtang, did you persuade my brother to confess his mistake to grandpa?" Good boy, my cousin wants to reward you. ”
Haitang sent her cousin away with a smile, and then stayed in front of the door and did not move. She wanted to make sure that no one interrupted the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren in the house.
After a while, Hai Xiya's stunned voice came from the house: "What did you say?!" Do you overhear that the merchant surnamed Sun and his accomplices are plotting to poison the wells of the city's defenders? ”
Hai Jiao hurriedly told the version of the story he had just come up with: after entering the city yesterday, he felt uncomfortable when he saw the carriage getting closer and closer to his old home, so he made an excuse to get off the bus halfway, wandered around the city, and happened to meet the merchant in Chinese clothes who pestered his grandfather Haixi Cliff to talk. He thought that his grandfather had always been polite to outsiders, but he refused to deal with this businessman, and the other party was definitely not a good person, and when he saw the other party's sneaky appearance, he secretly followed to see what the other party was going to do. Unexpectedly, he would find out that this merchant was connected with a Guazhou merchant who had followed them into the city, and the two whispered for a long time, and the latter gave the former a bag of things, and the two discussed what to do with the barracks well......
When Haijiao said this, he quietly looked at his grandfather's expression: "I suspect that they want to use water to blackmail the soldiers of Suzhou Wei, so I must remind the generals no matter what, let them guard the well, don't let the spies take advantage of the loopholes!" ”
Hai Xiya's face was a little terrifying: "You said the Guazhou merchant who followed our family into the city...... Which one is it? ”
The reef was described, and the Haixi Cliff remembered. There is indeed such a person in the immigration team, who is still a well-known profiteer in Guazhou, who is famous for not being profitable, but I didn't expect him to be a spy of the Hu people!
But since there are really Hu people and spies in the immigration team, why did the businessman surnamed Sun complain to Sun Yonglu? Isn't he afraid that Sun Yonglu will really find out his accomplices?!
Hai Xiya didn't dare to fully believe Sun Tzu's words, so he asked him to recount the scene when the Guazhou merchant and the merchant surnamed Sun met.
The reef did so, and it was no different from what was said before. He saw that his grandfather still had a hesitant expression on his face, and knew that he was not so easy to win the trust of his grandfather, so he hesitated for a moment, and simply told all the information he knew in his previous life: "Oh, by the way, I also heard what they were talking about princes." It seems that the merchants of Nagua Prefecture had come to Suzhou on the orders of a certain prince of the Hu people. The merchant surnamed Sun had a close relationship with the prince, but he did not know that the merchant of Nagua Prefecture would also come. They probably didn't discuss it beforehand. The merchant surnamed Sun hesitated for a long time before taking the packet of medicine from the Guazhou merchant and promising to attack the well. This seems to be a dangerous matter, and it is easy for the defenders to find out. However, the merchant insisted that this was the prince's order, and when the prince made a great contribution, he would never treat his daughter badly, and the merchant surnamed Sun agreed. ”
Hai Xiya was surprised: "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?!" ”
Hai Jiao looked at his grandfather innocently: "The most important thing is to take care of the defenders' wells!" Does it matter whose orders the two spies came? ”
"Of course it is!" Hai Xiya glared at his grandson angrily, "Okay, you follow me out." When you meet the generals, you will tell you exactly what you have heard, remember, not a word! Don't be clever enough to hide anything. ”
Haijiao hurriedly agreed, then went back to the house to change into decent clothes, and followed his grandfather out.
Before leaving, he turned around and squeezed his eyes with the little sister Haitang who was hiding in the corner and peeking, and his mood was quite relaxed.
It turns out that whistleblowing is not a difficult thing to do, you just need to find a reasonable excuse to prevaricate the past.
Haitang watched her grandparents and cousin leave with her little brother, and she was secretly relieved. In this way, Suzhou City should be able to be saved, right?
She went back to the main room. Ma took Aunt Cui out, and Jin Guo was working in the West Wing, which just gave her a chance to be alone and seize the time to learn new skills.
The system's recharge progress has reached 5%, which is still far from the energy demand to restart the system, but it is enough for her to learn new skills.
There are three copies of the skill book "Basic Martial Arts" given by the gift package, and Begonia clicked the "Learn" button next to the cover of the first book, and the energy grid was quickly emptied, and the charging progress returned to the 0.5% line, slowly starting again.
Haitang felt it and found that she only "learned" the martial arts recorded in "Basic Martial Arts I", including knife skills, sword skills, marksmanship techniques, whip techniques, palm techniques, fist techniques, leg techniques, etc., and even the most basic internal strength heart method and light kung footwork, but she only had consciousness and knew how to use a certain weapon when she picked it up, but her physical condition did not keep up.
She must have at least 50% proficiency in two martial arts skills before she can learn Basic Martial Arts II.
Even so, Begonia was satisfied.
She stretched out two white and tender little slaps, and began to practice the routine of basic palm techniques in the room, brushing up her proficiency.
