Chapter 9: Cao Guo's Assassination Order
"This is different, teachers and senior brothers often say that Senior Brother Ding has extraordinary qualifications, and our group of senior brothers will be his future achievements, how can they compare with us. Cai Gang from Kengzhucheng said.
"Zheng Yun, you are about the same age as me, you actually said that I can't do it, do you want to practice with me?" Ouyang Chong couldn't hold back his face, and looked at Zheng Yun viciously.
"Hehe, I can't bear the false praise of the teacher and the senior brother, I let them down. Or Senior Brother Ouyang, you're right, I'm just normal. Senior Sister Zheng is not busy practicing with you, junior brother, I will ask you for a few tricks, hoping to learn more from senior brother. Ding Kui took out the iron rod for training and pointed at Ouyang Chong.
"Hmph, Senior Brother Cai and I haven't finished today's strength exercises, so we won't accompany you. After speaking, Ouyang Chong pulled Cai Gang and turned to leave.
Lin Bi from Laowu Town pulled the angry Zheng Yun and said to Ding Kui: "Senior brother, don't pay attention to the two of them, you can't rush the matter of condensing the fighting spirit, the five of us have all carried out apprenticeship training a year earlier than you, and we haven't all condensed it, you are only eleven years old, it's still early." ”
Even Xu Bin of Huling City, who was usually silent, walked over, patted Ding Kui's shoulder, and said, "Senior brother, I believe you will do it." ”
The Ouyang family had previously approached the old protector Hou Ding Dao to find a position in the military for his children, but Ding Dao refused. After the accident of the Ding family, Ouyang Qian, the lord of Xinyu City, often laughed at the down-and-out Ding family at some aristocratic gatherings, and the children of the family who attended the party together heard about it.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, if you don't do it this year, you will have confidence next year. Ding Kui said with a smile.
In fact, he sighed in his heart: Alas, if the magic power in my body is not transformed, I may not be able to condense the fighting spirit in this life.
Ding Kui was thinking in his heart when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
He turned his head and saw that it was the elder brother.
Feng Liang of Lianhe City was the first noble child to train with Lu Ji, and he has already been promoted to the Blade Knight.
Feng Liang is twenty years old, nearly 1.8 meters tall, his nose is very high, with hooks, and those charming and deep eyes, he looks very handsome. He was wearing a white robe today and stood behind Ding Kui with a smile on his face.
"Senior brother, I didn't succeed when I first condensed the fighting qi, the key is the fusion of qi and blood and energy in the meridians, the fighting qi gong method introduces energy into the meridians, if the qi and blood of the meridians reject the energy, then the fighting qi can not be condensed, and the lack of qi and blood will also lead to the failure of condensation, so junior brother, you have to pay attention to qi and blood, sometimes some drugs will also cause failure. Feng Liang was also worried that Ding Kui would be discouraged, so he told him about his experience.
Ding Kui couldn't say if he was bitter, so he could only nod again and again.
"Alright, let me give you the last lesson of common sense today, and talk about the knight's mount. Feng Liang took Ding Kui to the horse shed in the Black Fan Village.
Inside the Black Fan Village is a valley, and the surrounding mountain walls are hundreds of meters high, almost all perpendicular to the ground, and very steep. Although it was summer, the area near the summit was still smoky, and the surface of the mountain wall was covered with moss.
The whole cottage is about 300 acres in size, and the central place is a playground with a size of 100 acres, and a row of wooden houses are built on the side of the mountain wall, which looks a bit like a barracks.
Feng Liang pointed to the horses in the stable and introduced to Ding Kui: "The mounts used by the cavalry armies of various countries on the mainland today are all war horses produced by the two empires in the north.
Ordinary cavalry controls the 'Black-topped Shadowless Horse' of the Guyuan Empire and the 'Treading Snow and Chasing the Wind' of the Tongbei Empire, and the one I rode is called the 'Pure-blooded Thunder Horse', which is the standard mount of knights.
High-ranking knights will choose the one-in-a-million 'Leopard Thunder Horse' as their mount, which can only be found in the grasslands on the border of the two empires, and the Leopard Horse Thunder Horse will not exceed ten horses in each herd.
As for the top-notch 'Tiger Striped Thunder Horse', it is extremely rare in the world, and there is only one horse in the Shaodian Kingdom, and it is a gift from the Emperor of the Tongbei Empire when the current king ascended the throne. ”
Hearing that there was only one horse in Shaodian Kingdom, Ding Kui's eyes lit up and asked, "Has that senior brother seen the 'Tiger Striped Thunder Horse'?"
"Well, I haven't seen it, the Feng family has lived in Lianhe City for generations, and only when the son-in-law wants to inherit the title of earl, will he go to the capital to meet the king. Let's not talk about this first, let me tell you about the characteristics of these kinds of horses...... "Feng Liang spent two hours introducing Ding Kui to the common sense of mounting.
"Finally, you have to remember that knights' mounts are not limited to these types of horses, and there are some special beasts, even monsters, that can be knights' mounts. Not all horses can be mounted, and the 'grass mud horse', a specialty of Heinaka County, can only be used for viewing and gifting. ”
In Ding Kui's heart, there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.
Divine beast, there is still one in this world, and it is really worthy of the name of the divine beast, if anyone sends me this, I will be in a hurry.
After awakening, Ding Kui was still undergoing apprenticeship training at the teacher's place, completely unaware of a crisis coming quietly.
The Tongyuan River originates from the "extremely frozen ice field" at the northern end of the Shenyuan Continent, and flows from north to south through the mainland into the South China Sea, winding for nearly 100,000 kilometers. The narrowest part of the Tongyuan River is more than 10 kilometers, and the widest part is more than 100 kilometers, and it has become a natural national border between countries.
The Shaodian Kingdom was across the river from the Qi State and the Cao State, and the three kingdoms fought each other for thousands of years, and no country occupied the territory on the other side of the Tongyuan River.
Shuanglong City is a relatively large wharf of Shaodian Kingdom on the Tongyuan River, not only many ships going north and south dock here, but one-third of the commercial ships of Yangyuanzhou and Cao Kingdom dock here.
On this day, Steward Chen of Jiangyang Shipping Company went to the wharf of Shuanglong City to count the goods.
Every day, a shipload of goods is transported from Cao Guo by Jiangyang Shipping Company, and Steward Chen is the steward who specializes in counting and checking the goods. As usual, after the goods were counted correctly, Steward Chen could go home.
Coincidentally, on the way home, Steward Chen met his friend Shopkeeper Liu, who was doing pen and ink trading in Qingshui County and had known Steward Chen for many years.
"Oh, what kind of wind blew you, Brother Liu, and you didn't say a word to my little brother. ”
"I heard that a batch of good inkstones were shipped from Cao Guo, so I hurried to take a look, so I happened to meet Brother Chen. ”
"Yes, I've also heard that the inkstones are expected to arrive tomorrow. Brother Liu and I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, let's go, let's go to Wangjiang Tower for a few drinks, and I'll take you on the boat tomorrow to see the inkstone. ”
"Okay, well, then there is Brother Lao, this time it will be up to Brother Wei. ”
"Eh, isn't this a slap in the face of my little brother, how can I let you break the bank when you come to my territory. Go, go, go, let's get drunk today. ”
Steward Chen took the hand of Shopkeeper Liu and walked towards Wangjiang Tower.
The two came to Wangjiang Tower, asked for a private room, ordered a table of wine and food, and the sea blew in the south and the north, sometimes laughing loudly, sometimes whispering, and chatting happily. During the banquet, the two of them even fought together, you came and I drank a red face and hot ears, Steward Chen was obviously not strong enough to drink, and he still needed the help of the restaurant guy when he left the table to go to the toilet.
Steward Chen took the man's shoulder and staggered towards the thatched house, but said to the man in a very low voice: "Top secret, it can only be passed on orally, if the upper and lower lines are exposed, they will immediately take poison and commit suicide, notify the No. 5 poisonous scorpion in Pingzhong County, Zhongwangzhou, and bribe the local bandits to assassinate Ding Kui." ”
Steward Chen and Shopkeeper Liu drank until dark, and finally Steward Chen was drunk, and the restaurant sent someone to send him home, while Shopkeeper Liu found an inn to stay.
Xiao Ou, a guy in the restaurant, came home from work, and when he saw his wife and brother Niu Er in his home, he couldn't help frowning.
"Why are you here?"
"Hehe, brother-in-law, there is something I want to discuss with you, this time it is absolutely reliable, let's go into the room and talk slowly. ”
Xiao Ou and Niu Er entered the room less than a cup of tea, and they heard Xiao Ou scolding in the room: "You mud can't support the wall, you must have lost all your money in gambling again, this time you made up a reason to borrow money from me, no! I have no money, and I won't lend you a copper plate!"
Niu Er walked out of the room stupidly, spat on the ground, and muttered as he walked: "What a stingy ghost, my sister has been married to you for eight lifetimes." ”
Niu Er didn't borrow any money, so he could only wander around the casino, looking for someone to talk to everywhere and trying to get some gambling books, but his luck was so bad that no one was willing to give him money, so he could only go home in disgrace.
The next day, Shopkeeper Liu rushed back to Qingshui County without choosing the inkstone.
Steward Chen sent Liu away and returned home, never went out again, and was found dead at home the next morning.
A few days later, the people in Qingshui County also found that Shopkeeper Liu was missing.
A few days later, a young man in Chinese costume came to Wangjiang Tower, sat in the private room used by Steward Chen to entertain Shopkeeper Liu, and faced the river alone to meditate.
A man in a tight brocade robe in a colorful green brocade robe stepped up the stairs and into the private room.
"Tell your lord, he recruited it. ”
The young man in Chinese clothes turned around and glanced at the man in the brocade robe, found a chair and sat down at random, and said, "Oh, it's called." ”
Steward Chen arranged for him to pay attention to the deployment of various passes in Qingshui County. The brocade-robed man stood beside the young man in a gorgeous costume with his hands down.
"Well, how many times has he contacted Steward Chen?"
"He has known Steward Chen for many years, and this is the first time that he has a mission. ”
"Shopkeeper Liu was born in Qingshui County, and his father sneaked into Shaodian from his own country more than 50 years ago and died more than 10 years ago. It was at that time that he succeeded his father as a dark stake and lurked in Qingshui County. The man in brocade continued to tell the young man in Chinese costume the confession of the shopkeeper Liu.
The young man in Chinese clothes smiled lightly: "Haha, in this way, it was my young man who happened to catch a big fish." ”
Shaodian Mi is a child of the royal family, and he wants to call Uncle Shaodian Dan according to his generation, and he is a close confidant promoted by Shaodian Dan after he sat on the throne, and served as the director of the spy department.
"If it weren't for the fact that I happened to go to Qingshui County that day, and happened to see the letter eagle, I happened to find that Shopkeeper Liu hurried to Shuanglong City, and happened to follow them here to connect, and I wouldn't have caught this big fish that has been lurking for more than 50 years. Shaodian said thoughtfully.
