Chapter 21: Fear or Fear

Approaching Yuan Xi's room, Cheng Shifei slowed down, held sticks in both hands, and moved forward gently, and heard the barking of dogs in the house before he took a few steps, so frightened that he quickly stopped and stared at the door, for fear that another black shadow would come out.

Yuan Xi only felt funny when he heard the movement outside the house.

Funny Fei has been tied to the house by Yuan Xi, it is a little unhappy, hanging its ears and lying there, hearing the movement outside the house, it immediately got up and screamed, reminding the owner that there was an uninvited guest outside.

Yuan Xi glanced at Teady Fei, and also felt strange, why did this dog suddenly target Xiao Fei? Is it Xiao Fei's aura that makes Teady Fei feel weak directly, so he dares to chase and bite like that.

I don't know if Funny Fei can understand his words, Yuan Xi snorted, "Lying on his stomach", this Funny Fei looked at the master with a puzzled face.

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and pressed it twice, this time he didn't understand, and he stuck out his tongue and lay there "whirring", no longer moving.

Yuan Xi shouted outside,

"It's Xiao Fei, come in, Funny Fei has already told me to be plugged, it's okay!"

Regardless of whether it was polite or not, he gently opened the hidden door with a stick, and Yuan Xi, who was sitting there, happened to see a stick enter the door.

Seeing that there was no movement when the door was opened, Cheng Cheng's hanging heart let go, thinking that it was really not good to take a stick into the house, so he put the stick at the door, and then held the door with both hands, gently pushed it open halfway, and probed in to see where the dog was leashed.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Cheng Fei's head sticking in and rushed out.

Cheng Shifei was frightened, flashed back suddenly, and quickly closed the door with both hands holding the door, and Cheng Shifei locked the door outside to prevent the door from opening from the inside.

When he ran to the door, his neck tightened, and he was heeled by the straight rope, and he got up on his legs, and took two steps back, and his neck was no longer so tight, and he barked at the door.

Yuan Xi got up, walked over, and kicked Teasu, who understood the meaning and went back to lie on his stomach.

Yuan Xi opened the door with his hand, and found that Cheng was holding the door with his hand outside, so he said,

"Xiao Fei, open the door, I'm here, it's okay!"

Cheng Shifei, who was startled again, put his face on the door, listened to the movement inside, and no more dog barking came, so he let go.

When he let go, he quickly jumped over and picked up the stick that had been placed next to the door and protected it in front of him.

Yuan Xi opened the door, saw Cheng Shifei holding a stick, and looked at himself nervously, so he opened the door wide and signaled to Cheng Shifei.

"Look, it's tethered, the rope is so long, you can't get to the door, come in!"

Cheng Shifei took a few steps forward, leaned over and craned his neck to look in, and saw Doufei lying there, he asked suspiciously,

"Brother Yuan, are you really tethered? You can't scare me anymore this time, you scared me to death just now!"

Yuan Xi smiled,

"Leashed, just now I mainly wanted to see how afraid of dogs you are, now I know clearly, what are you still trying to scare you for? Come, come in with me, put the stick outside! In the house, you hold the stick, even if you prevent teasing, you can't use it. ”

Cheng Cheng, who had just put down the stick, was a little nervous when he heard it, his eyes swept the yard, and he ran to the tree to pick up two stones and hold them in the palm of his hand, and his heart was a little calmer.

Yuan Xi didn't rush into the house, he had to go in with Cheng Shifei.

He can see that this Xiao Fei is really afraid of dogs, the kind that is afraid to the bones.

Just as he was afraid of chickens when he was a child.

However, after Yuan Xi himself was taken to the mountains by his master, he saw a lot of things, and he became more and more bold, and then he was the only one who bullied other animals.

As for those with sharp mouths, they have become the targets of the stones in his hands, and it is really fragrant to skewer them and roast them.

Cheng Shifei stood next to Yuan Xi, grabbed Yuan Xi's sleeve with his hand, and entered the house with him, still holding the two stones in his palm.

As soon as he saw that Cheng Fei came in, he got up and screamed, because Yuan Xi was there to block it, so it didn't run over, and it ran too hard just now, and it was strangled by a rope noose, and it also knew that it hurt.

As soon as it screamed, Cheng Shifei grabbed Yuan Xi's arm, and the other hand holding the stone had already been raised, staring fiercely at the funny Fei who was screaming at this side.

Seeing that the teaser didn't come, Cheng Shifei dragged Yuan Xi's arm to the house, visually measured the length of the dog leash, and hid far behind Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi shouted, "Lying on his stomach",

The funny man ran back and lay on his stomach, and stopped screaming.

Cheng Shifei didn't want to stay here longer, so he looked at Yuan Xi, waiting for him to speak, and his eyes still glanced at the teaser over there from time to time.

Yuan Xi called Cheng Fei to come mainly to train him in martial arts.

looked at Xiao Fei, who was carrying a bow and arrow, thinking that the matter of hunting should be almost ready, so he said,

"Xiao Fei, how is it? The guys who went hunting have all taken care of everything?"

Cheng Shifei said "um", raised his eyes and looked at the funny man lying on his stomach behind Yuan Xi, and continued,

"It's all done, I'll lead the horse tomorrow afternoon, when will we go the day after tomorrow?"

Yuan Xi glanced at the bow he was carrying, thinking that he was afraid that the bow would break as soon as he exerted his strength, he said casually,

"Hunt early, you get up early the day after tomorrow, and we'll leave at dawn!"

Hearing Yuan Xi say this, Cheng Cheng sighed and asked suspiciously,

"Is it so early? Brother Yuan!"

Yuan Xi said,

"Of course, go early and come back early, I have to rush back to teach boxing!"

Although Cheng Shifei had never hunted, he had also heard others say that he had to go all day, and he camped on the mountain for the night, how could he get to Brother Yuan so quickly?

Anyway, he followed Yuan Xi, and he listened to Yuan Xi's arrangement, and then glanced at Fei Fei, and asked in a low voice,

"Brother Yuan, then how do you want to train my guts?

After speaking, he used his mouth to push behind Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi smiled,

"This kind of thing you are afraid of in the bones is overcome, this courage is born, as for how to practice, it depends on you, my idea is divided into three steps, the first step, you dare to face this funny, standing in front of it, the second step, you can make the funny non feel afraid, the third step, I will take you to the dog market, you can walk around the dog market casually, there is no fear of the dog in your heart, in this way, I think your momentum will be enough, and then I often take you to the mountains to hunt, so that you can see the blood, increase your blood. ”

Looking at Cheng right and wrong with a smile, Yuan Xi asked,

"Haven't you ever killed?"

Cheng Shifei scratched his head, and then said,

"If you don't kill mosquitoes, you haven't killed them, and I don't even watch chickens and geese slaughtered at home, so I haven't seen anyone else kill them!"

After saying this, Cheng Shifei asked Yuan Xi a question,

"Brother Yuan, do you say it's good to kill?"

Yuan Xi raised his eyes to look at right and wrong, and then said,

"I remember when I was a child, Master told me that some killings are just for living. Good or bad, I can't tell you this. Xiao Fei, Cheng Shibo named you right and wrong, maybe because he hopes that you have a definition in your heart that you recognize. Master once said to me that I should have a clear conscience in everything. Xiao Fei, I don't know what you think of this sentence, you grew up in a martial arts hall and have no worries about food and clothing, but have you ever thought that although you didn't kill, most of your food and clothing came from killing. I grew up in the mountains, and if it weren't for the martial arts that Master taught me to protect me, I would have been like a pheasant or hare that became my food, and I would have become the ration of a tiger and a wolf. Xiao Fei, Brother Yuan let you see blood, not to let you learn badly, but some life and death, which we must face. ”

After speaking, he patted the shoulder of right and wrong, Yuan Xi said,

"Your current worries are completely superfluous, some people, seeing the blood, will be even more excited, you know, why we humans dominate everything in this world? Is it because we can read books and practice martial arts? But this book article, martial arts techniques, and all kinds of ways of survival that we people have mastered are not all accumulated by our ancestors little by little? And this accumulation is a way that we humans have killed by ourselves, and thus become the master of all things. ”

Cheng was thoughtful and a little dazed, he didn't know what the situation would be after his first arrow was shot, and the excitement of hunting before was gone.

At this time, he screamed, and he was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Yuan Xi's arm and hid back. Yuan Xi looked at Cheng Cheng helplessly and said,

"Xiao Fei, tease Fei to be tethered! That's it, anyway, the day after tomorrow to hunt, from now on, you practice looking at each other with Tease Fei, don't worry, Tease Fei must be tethered!"

Yuan Xi continued,

"Remember, you can't use the method of showing favor to be close to teasing, if you want to train your guts, you have to rely on momentum to suppress teasing, suppress all the fierce dogs, vicious dogs. By the way, you will prepare its food, but I will feed it. “

Cheng Shifei stared at the teasing non, gritted his teeth, and said "yes".

——————————————

Zhou Bochang and Wang Ji respectively led a team of men to Songguo Mountain, and Wu Zhonghe and Zheng Shuyuan stayed behind to continue to monitor Yuan Xi.

After all, Yuan Xi said that he would go hunting, but he didn't say which day he would go, and the two teams of men and horses would be stationed near Songguo Mountain for a while.

Zhou Bochang was instructed by Lu Yiping to take this opportunity to check whether there were any suspicious characters around Pingnan City by the way.

Lu Guanju is really uncomfortable at home, and it's not good for the eldest girl's family to always go out for a stroll.

The rumors on the street made it difficult for Lu Guanju to go out and show her face again, for fear that someone with a long tongue would point fingers behind her back and gossip about her.

Twenty-eight girls, waiting for the word boudoir, are going to have a good life.

But she really can't do this embroidery girl, and it's not interesting to boxing in the yard every day, Lu Yiping is busy in the camp, and there is no one at home to feed her.

After playing a set of Liuyun palms, Lu Guanju closed the style, but he was still a little dissatisfied, and his kung fu was a little worse after all.

Although the last assassination was thrilling, it benefited her a lot, especially when the person who used the nunchuck came over, and Lu Guanju, who felt the pressure, used his palm technique to get out of the routine.

Because the man with the sword did not shoot with all his strength, Lu Guanju at that time was more offensive, and when the nunchucks attacked, she relied more on her body to dodge.

However, if she wants to break away from the fixed moves, her palm technique is not so smooth.

The flowing clouds are like water, endless, but she is like pouring water on a basin, and there is no continuity at all.

Recalling the scene in the martial arts hall, Lu Guanju only felt that the young man was so easy to win over himself, and his Liuyun palm couldn't hit him at all.

From the point of view of body style, he and Na Yuanxi are not at the same level, and the other party's method of defeating himself does not seem to be that kind of powerful martial arts, but more like a kind of ingenuity that moves at will.

If you lose, you lose, Lu Guanju can still afford to lose, and thinking of Yuan Xi's skills, Lu Guanju admires most of them in his heart.

In this Pingnan City, the younger generation really doesn't have any powerful characters.

Before the opening of the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, there was no martial arts hall in Pingnan City, and the Qingyun Sect, the first sect in Bazhou, was far away on Qingyun Mountain, forty miles east of Ziyang City.

There is no restriction on the recruitment of disciples by the Nine Major Sects, but the disciples of the descendants need to be reported to the military departments of each state for the record. In addition to the heirs of the sect, the other descendants need to be given a quota according to the needs of the state.

In fact, the Nine Great Sects are the training bases for the high-ranking generals of the dynasty, but they are just the selection of talents from each state by each state.

After some of these descendants are selected, they will be unified to the iron-blooded banner of Yongzhou Daqimen to learn the art of war.

After learning from the Iron Blood Banner, these disciples still have to defend against foreign tribes in the three states of Liang, Yong, and Hebei, and after experiencing the baptism of war, when they are in important positions in the military department, they will be full of confidence while having strength.

Xiang Feiang, who was sent back to Jingzhou by the King of Shu, is such a person.

However, after the new emperor Sima Wende ascended the throne, the last group of disciples of the Iron Blood Banner left, and no new disciples came.

After failing to be selected as a disciple of the lineage, he went directly to serve in the army, and he could also start as a lieutenant and a lieutenant. This Lu Yiping started from the school captain, and so did his senior brother Feng Yuan.

As for the current commander of the Bazhou soldiers and horses, Wei Tiangang was not from Qingyun Sect, but he was indeed from Bazhou, and he was selected by the King of Shu and sent directly to Daqimen to study.

The Great Banner Gate is divided into two gates, the Inner Gate Fengyun Banner is the Great Banner Gate's own sect, and the other is the Iron Blood Banner. The reason why this place to teach the art of war was chosen in Daqimen is very simple, the Yongzhou North Rejection Yi tribe has a lot of wars, and it is the easiest to train soldiers.

In order to consolidate the royal power of the princes and kings, the princes and kings of each state have the quota to directly send disciples to the Great Banner Gate, and these disciples will first enter the Fengyun Banner to study, and then send them to the Iron Blood Banner to study.

After returning to the states, these disciples generally started as the deputy commander of the royal palace.

Yongzhou Daqimen, in terms of scale, is the first of the nine major factions.

The number of disciples of the Xuanyi Sect is relatively larger, and these disciples are all sent from the imperial city, and they have only one task, which is to guard the royal city.

And the deputy head of Xuanyimen concurrently serving as a national teacher is a matter that has been decided since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the people who obey the orders of this dynasty, except for the emperor, are actually national teachers.

Although they were people from the Imperial City, it was the Xuanyi Sect that taught them all their skills.

The establishment of the Xuanyi Sect is also inseparable from the establishment of the Great Jin Kingdom.

This little-known history was not written in the history books, so that the people who sat on the dragon chair later forgot that the existence of this Xuanmen Gate was actually aimed at correcting the mistakes and mistakes of the emperor.

Huo Xingwei tried his best, but he couldn't reverse Sima Xiangle's faint state, so after discussing with the head, he abolished Sima Xiangle and re-established the new emperor.

And this re-establishment of the new emperor is actually an expedient measure.

As an emperor, he was mostly disappointed in this half-emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

Yuan Shixin, the king of Yangzhou, who is also the prime minister, asked Huo Xingwei what he meant, and now the Great Jin Dynasty exists in name only, and the princes and kings of the states are already self-reliant, and Liangzhou is even more slogan on the side of the Qing monarch and privately supports the new monarch.

And Xuzhou Prefecture is in turmoil, half of the state is lost, and the chaos in the world has been more than ten years.

Huo Xingwei looked at Yuan Shixin, his eyes were like torches, his words were not heavy, he just asked softly,

"Can Xiangguo have this heart?"

Yuan Shixin, who was nearly fifty years old, stood with his hands in his hands, frowned slightly, and said,

"To say something rebellious, with the trend of today, everyone can have this heart, but whoever is powerful to do it, then it depends on who has the creation, what does the national teacher mean by asking?"

Yuan Shixin has the intention of annexing the world, otherwise after receiving Huo Xingwei's secret letter, he would not have left Yangzhou so happily and rushed to Yuzhou.

After he assumed the position of Xiangguo, he remained in Yuzhou, and the throne of Yangzhou was succeeded by his eldest son Yuan Bingde.

If it weren't for Huo Xingwei's existence, Yu and Yang would already be in his Yuan Shixin's pocket.

He is still very jealous of Huo Xingwei.

Huo Xingwei smiled and said,

Xiangguo is right, it is to see who has the ability to compete in the world! It's just that the relationship between your ancestors and the Sima royal family is extraordinary, otherwise you wouldn't have the title of King Side by Side. Now that your son Yuan Bingde is the uncle of the current emperor, are you sure you want to do this?"

Yuan Shixin shook his head and said,

"Time can change his Sima family, and naturally my Yuan family will also change. What about the side by side king? It's just a title, I'm rich in Yangzhou, and I support Yongzhou in the north the most, and Yongzhou in the north rejects the Yi tribe, which is the consensus of all kings. We can fight at home, but we can't let those brutes take advantage of it. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shixin glanced at Huo Xingwei, and then asked,

"What does the national teacher think of Yongzhou?"

Huo Xingwei listened to Yuan Shixin's words, then stared at him for a while, and asked,

"I wonder what the King thinks of this throne?"

The national teacher did not answer his own question, Yuan Shixin did not feel inappropriate, and when he asked about the throne, he pondered for a moment, and then said,

"Power is greater than the sky, but responsibility is also like the depth of the sea. Those who have aspirations work hard, and those who are incompetent cannot sit steadily. Everyone only says that the emperor is good, but they don't know that the emperor is the most difficult. The national teacher, the big husband dares to think and dare to do, and the promising person wants to make contributions. Now this greatest achievement, the greatest cause, is to re-establish a dynasty and break the status quo!"

Huo Xingwei continued to ask,

"Then do you have the confidence to build a better dynasty than the Great Jin? The previous dynasties have changed from generation to generation, the elders have lasted two or three hundred years, and the short ones have not been able to pass the three generations of emperors. Life is at an end, maybe you have worked hard to establish a new dynasty, and before you have time to govern him well and change him, you will have returned to dust, and if your descendants can't keep this country, your Yuan clan may disappear, is this what you want?"

Yuan Shixin didn't speak, he didn't know what to think in his heart, and after being silent for a while, he asked,

"Can the national teacher have such a heart?"

Huo Xingwei shook his head, and then said,

"Don't worry, I still have our Xuanyi Sect about the imperial power, and I don't have any thoughts, what you think about is the great husband's meritorious career, and the purpose of our Xuanyi Sect is the common people in the world. ”

Yuan Shixin knew the origin of some Xuanyimen, this sect that was older than the Great Jin Dynasty has always existed, and there seems to be the shadow of Xuanyimen in the long river of time.

He once thought that the rise and fall of the dynasty had a lot to do with this Xuanyi Sect.

What he didn't understand was why after each dynasty was established, a sect like Xuanyi would still be allowed to exist.

In fact, the Xuanyi Sect has indeed existed for a long time, but the name has changed many times, and the current nine major factions, if they follow the trajectory of history, will come together.

Huo Xingwei and Lu Bonian, the current head of the Xuanyi faction, have discussed the general trend of the world many times.

They wanted to create a new model of monarchy, different from the feudal vassal style of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Huo Xingwei felt that he could talk to Yuan Shixin.

——————————————

What Cui Xinghe didn't expect was that after Song Lanyu visited Weilong, he brought back a child, a four-and-a-half-year-old child.

This child's name is Ji Daqiang, according to Song Lanyu, he has a very close relationship with King Lu, as for how close, Wei Long did not tell Song Lanyu, but just followed Uncle Shi's instructions and took the child to Penglai Pavilion.

Wei Long asked Song Lanyu to bring a word to Cui Xinghe,

"What you want, it's on this child!"

Ji Daqiang was accepted by Cui Xinghe as a closed disciple, and Song Lanyu, as Ji Daqiang's senior brother, had been teaching Ji Daqiang as a substitute teacher until he was ten years old.

Ji Daqiang likes this big brother who takes good care of himself.

He was alone before going up the mountain.

Wei Long also sent a gentleman to Penglai Pavilion to teach Ji Daqiang to read.

The living needs of this gentleman in Penglai Pavilion were all sent by Wei Long, and the books he needed for teaching were all provided by Wei Long.

Wei Long made it clear that these classics will be owned by Penglai Pavilion in the future.

There are two places with the richest collection of books in the world, one is in Luoyue City, and the other is in Xuanyimen.

It is said that some of the lone books were originally in the Xuanyi Gate, and only copies were collected in Luoyue City.

Penglai Pavilion of the Wuli faction will not think that there are many classics in its own country.

This old master was originally a gentleman from Qingzhou Lanting Academy, and he was born in the Lu family, a famous family in Qingzhou.

As for why this gentleman named Lu Shiyin joined Weilong's tent and was willing to go to Penglai Pavilion to be a gentleman to Ji Daqiang, Cui Xinghe did not know.

Lu Shiyin did not go to Penglai Pavilion after going to Gushu Mountain, but chose a quiet place halfway up the mountain, and ordered someone to build a grass house here, where he wanted to complete the general's trust.

Lu Shiyin also gave this grass house a name, according to the detailed house.

As a gentleman, he explained to Ji Daqiang that the light was peaceful, and the grass house was smoking.

Ji Daqiang asked Mr. why he didn't go to Penglai Pavilion.

The gentleman shook his head, and said,

Scholars, not with reckless people.

Ji Daqiang was puzzled, and then continued to ask Mr., what about me?

The gentleman looked at his disciple in a daze, and then said,

You are hopeful.

In a flash, it is thirteen years!
