There is a teenager in a magnificent mansion in Changzhou City, this boy is twelve years old this year, usually follows his grandfather to read and write, at this time he is following a mighty man to practice martial arts, this burly man is named Hong Biao, is the Li family's general. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And this young man is Li Chaoping, the grandson of Li Luoyun, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, Li Luoyun's marshal mansion is in the most prosperous area of Changzhou City, Li Chaoping's father and Chaoping's two brothers all died on the battlefield in a battle, and his mother died of illness when Chaoping was three years old, and there is only this single seedling left in the family, Li Luoyun loves this grandson very much, and pins all his hopes on him, everyone calls Chaoping the third son.

A few days ago, Li Luoyun went to the capital to meet the saint, and gave Hong Biao a task, that is, to hand over his grandson to practice martial arts. Hong Biao knew that the third prince Li Chaoping was weak, so he let him step first, but although the third prince was practicing very hard, he fell down after only half a cup of tea, Hong Biao hurriedly called his subordinates to step forward and help the little boy to the side of the seat, the third prince did not give up, and tried to support his weak body, but Hong Biao did not let the third prince continue to practice, but said to him, "Third son, you rest and rest first, practice here today, I will give you a hammer to see if you can also strengthen your understanding of martial arts." Then Hong Biao raised his own double hammer in front of the third prince, dancing and swinging the double hammer vigorously, and the third prince applauded again and again. Hong Biao's steel and iron bones were trained in the army, because he was born with divine power, so he was good at using double hammers and bravely crowned the three armies. Hong Biao's martial arts are all authentic foreign kung fu, practicing steel and iron bones, with infinite strength, and he has some disappointment in the third prince in his eyes, because he hopes that the third prince can be invincible like his brothers, father and grandfather. When he played a trick, he didn't let Gongzi continue to practice martial arts, but chatted with Chaoping. Hong Biao asked, "What is the ambition of the childe?" Xiao Chaoping said without thinking: "My ambition is to command the three armies like my grandfather, be invincible, and serve the motherland, but my body is always sick. A trace of tears appeared in his eyes, it was very sad in Li Chaoping's heart, his physique was too weak, how long he could live was a big question, not to mention commanding the three armies, he still stopped being a young master of an official family, usually reading a book, reciting poems or something. "Third Young Master, don't be discouraged, where there is a will, there is a way, one hundred and two Qin Guan will eventually belong to Chu, let's practice slowly, practicing martial arts is good for the body, you will definitely become strong" Hong Biao comforted, but there was a trace of sigh in Hong Biao's heart, the third young master's qualifications were too poor, not because he was not smart enough, but because his body was too weak, and it was not material for practicing martial arts at all.

The day's martial arts training time is only about half an hour to end, in the afternoon Li Chaoping is different from other children, he did not go out to the house to play, but locked himself in the house to read, Chaoping has read more books than his peers read, his twelve years old can already be called a well-read book, these mainly depend on him has an unknown talent, never forget, he will easily remember after reading, and the things he has seen will be easily remembered, including the hammer method that Hong Biao taught him to practice martial arts before, he has already memorized it in his mind, but everyone has not found it, in this martial family, Li Chaoping can be said to be a buried gold. Li Chaoping also has a lot of good friends in Changzhou City, most of them are children of the same age as him, they will play together whenever they are free, one of them is Li Luoyun's friend Jia Liuer, the daughter of Jia Fu, a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, Chaoping and she can be described as two little childhood sweethearts, there is a small river in the western suburbs of Changzhou, these children love to go here to play, catch crickets, break willow branches, play war games, these have become the content of their usual fun, in the eyes of other children, Chaoping is just a handsome and weak child, don't look at his background, but he will always be bullied by other children, but he did not complain and grievances, because he knows that this is just a small thing, in his heart is pretending to be a big ambition for the world, only Liu Er doesn't see him like this, Jia Liuer feels that Li Chaoping is full of poetry and books, handsome, smart and clever, never thinks he is useless, when he usually plays, although Chao Ping is very weak compared to his peers, but no matter what, he protects Liu Er, like Liu Er, treats her as a sister, which leaves a deep impression in Liu Er's heart.

It has been many days since Li Luoyun entered Beijing, he has not come back, Chaoping is a little anxious, he is worried that his grandfather is old, and his body will not be able to bear it, in fact, the old general has fought all his life, and his health is very good, Chaoping is in a daze on the steps, and then he hears "Brother Chaoping, look who is back." Liu Er shouted happily, Li Luoyun is back, Jia Fu and Liu Er went out of the city to pick up Li Luoyun back to the city, and came to the marshal's mansion to get together, seeing that the marshal was back, Hong Biao and the housekeeper hurried out to greet each other. "Hong Biao, how is Chaoping's martial arts practice? The old general said, Hong Biao replied hesitantly: "The third prince has practiced ......." Li Luoyun sighed and said: "It's okay, I don't blame you, although Chaoping is smart, he is not born to practice martial arts." After speaking, Li Luoyun and Jia Fu walked into the house, Hong Biao and the other three generals were waiting at the door, and the housekeeper took Chao Ping and Liu Er to the backyard to play. In the evening, Jia Fu took his daughter back, Chaoping was alone in the backyard in a daze, their family had a library building, which was built by Li Luoyun's father, he thought that martial arts practitioners should not fail to learn literature, and leading troops to fight should focus on strategy. There are two floors in the library building, Chaoping has read a lot of books on the first floor, in the empty room Chaoping is alone in the horse walk, a simple action Chaoping just can't hold on, frustrated he keeps muttering "I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid." He was alone in the library with tears in his eyes and began to read, thinking in his heart that he would never practice martial arts again. In this way, he read all night, and for the next few days he didn't do anything, just slept in the room at two o'clock, went to the library to read, even if he ate in the library, in a short time, he let him read all the books on the first floor of the library, he thought about himself and then went upstairs to read the book step by step, even if he couldn't be a qualified soldier, he was a scholar who was rich and rich. He came to the second floor of the library pavilion, the bookshelf is full of books, all of which have been covered with dust, the old general has been fighting all the year round, and he has only lived a stable life at home in recent years, and he doesn't come to the library very much, usually he just takes a few books of scripture and history to teach Chaoping to read and write, so few people come to the library, usually the housekeeper comes to the library to see, and cleans the next floor. Chaoping took out a book casually, opened it and looked at it, "It is the concern of the wise man, it must be mixed with interests, mixed with benefits, and pragmatism is also ,....", "Ah, this is ......." Chaoping said to himself in surprise.
