A pair of iron riders rushed like a wind to the gate of a solemn annex. The leading general was wearing a black armor, and the sergeants behind the general were also wearing black chain mail, with a murderous aura, these sergeants were the elite of the elite.

The lantern hanging at the entrance of the courtyard has the character "Du" written on it. This is the mansion of Du Changgeng, the commander of Chiyang Wei.

"The general is back!" the guards at the gate of the Du Mansion hurriedly shouted and greeted him. The Du Mansion immediately moved.

The general jumped off his horse, and the guards at the door immediately came over to lead the horse for this Du Changgeng and took the heavy armor. The sergeants dismounted, making a clanging sound of their armor touching.

All the people in the Du Mansion came to the front yard to welcome Du Changgeng's triumphant return, but Du Changgeng looked at the crowd and asked a little angrily, "What about the third child?"

Du Changgeng's third son is named Du Xuan. As soon as Du Changgeng came back, he asked about him, not because Du Xuan was what he valued the most, but because Du Xuan was the most disappointed in him. Jiangmen Huzi, Du Changgeng, as a famous general of the Great Qi State, naturally hopes that several sons will inherit their father's business. Du Changgeng has three sons, the eldest son and the second son are all green and better than the blue, and they are already full of achievements at a young age. They all started with ordinary armor soldiers, and they have already been in the army through their exploits.

Du Changgeng's wife, Luo Xifeng, looked gloomy, and replied hesitantly: "The third son is still here just now, I don't know where to go." ”

Du Fu lowered his head one by one, and no one dared to make any movement, for fear of being punished. These are the affairs of the masters, and they have nothing to do with them.

"This rebel must have gone to find his fox friends again. Du Changgeng said angrily.

"The old man said cautiously, but the three sons are also considered literati. Luo Xifeng hurriedly said.

"What kind of scholars, one by one, they know that they are dancing and writing and whitewashing the scales, but they don't know that now the Great Qi State Mansion will collapse, and under the nest, there will be no eggs! If this continues, the barbarians will come again, and Daqi will really be in danger!" Du Changgeng glared angrily.

The alien races on the four sides of the Great Qi Kingdom looked around, and the barbarians to the west were particularly dangerous. In the history of Daqi, the blood feud with the barbarians is the most unforgettable. The Du family has been the general of the Great Qi State for generations, and the mission of the children of the Du family is to protect the frontier of the Great Qi State with their flesh and blood.

The tiger father has no dogs, and the Du family has always been a hero of Lao Tzu. was born to Du Changgeng, but gave birth to a weak son. Du Xuan, the third elder of the Du family, was born weak and liked literature rather than martial arts. Let Du Changgeng be ashamed.

"Master, go take a bath first, I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare. Duane, go to the kitchen and have a look, let them move quickly. The old man and his sons were struggling all the way, and they hadn't eaten hot meals for a long time. Luo Xifeng hurriedly ordered.

A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties on the side hurriedly stood up, bowed to Du Changgeng and his wife, and hurriedly retreated.

In the Chiyang Academy in Chiyang Town, several young talents are studying classics.

"Kong said to be benevolent, and Meng said to take righteousness. But its righteousness is exhausted, so it is benevolent. The barbarians are eyeing the border of our Great Qi, and we and other young people can't die on the battlefield and be loyal to the country, what's the use of studying?" said a handsome young man in a loud voice. This young man is somewhat similar to Du Changgeng's appearance, it is Du Changgeng's third son, Du Xuan.

"Brother Du, this is a bad statement, and there are many kinds of loyalty to the country. There is one kind of battlefield death, and there is also one kind of decisive battle thousands of miles away in the midst of strategizing. Dying on the battlefield is the act of those warriors and reckless men, and we and other literati should be strategizing. Moreover, I am not afraid of those who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Once he becomes a great Confucian, Haoran righteousness can kill warlocks and demons. One man can fight against one army. A young man beside Du Xuan said. This person is Du Xuan's classmate, called Yan Jianbing.

Du Xuan was about to argue with Yan Jianbing, when he saw Du Feng, a member of the Du family, running over: "Young master, young master, go back quickly! The master is back, and I asked about you just now." ”

When Du Xuan heard that his father was back, his neck couldn't help shrinking, but he was afraid that after he went back, he would be scolded by his father again.

"Du Feng, my father came back from the front line, do you know how the battle is on the front line?" asked Du Xuan.

"If the master can come down from the front line, he must have quelled the war. However, Du Jiajun suffered a lot of losses. The barbarians have been invading again and again recently, and my Du family's sons and sons have suffered losses in every battle. The old man is not in a good mood. Be careful. Du Feng shook his head.

Although the barbarians have always been the mortal enemies of Daqi, they have always been in a state of confrontation with Daqi, and only when there is a shortage of food in autumn and winter, will they invade Daqi. But this year, for some reason, summer has just arrived, and the barbarians have begun to frequently invade the west of Daqi. The Du family army bore the brunt of the attack, and naturally there would inevitably be a large number of casualties. The barbarians are savage and ferocious, extremely tall, especially good at refining the body, and good at enslaving brute beasts. When it comes to individual force, the barbarian soldiers are obviously superior to the Daqi soldiers. It's just that the generals of Daqi are good at battle formations. With the battle array, the Great Qi army was able to fight on a par with the barbarians.

The battle situation was dangerous, and Du Jiajun suffered heavy losses, so Du Changgeng's mood was naturally not much better. Du Xuan knew that he would inevitably become his father's punching bag when he went back, but he had no way to escape, so he could only follow Du Feng home.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Xuan saw Du Changgeng standing in the lobby with a solemn expression. As soon as Du Xuan entered the door, he saw his mother beckoning to him and asking him to sneak away. Du Xuan was about to tiptoe towards his mother, but he didn't expect that he would be targeted by Du Changgeng as soon as he entered the door.

"Stop! Where are you going to be merry today? The disciples of the Du family are all throwing their heads and spilling their blood on the battlefield, and you are the only one who is stealing your life. Du Changgeng shouted angrily.

Although I have not been able to go to the battlefield, I have been learning the art of war, and when I learn the art of war, I will definitely give advice and strategize for my Du family's army. Du Xuan could only speak according to Du Changgeng's temper.

"Useless is a scholar. Is there still a small number of disciples of the Du family who have harmed me by talking about soldiers on paper? From today onwards, you will honestly practice the martial arts of the Du family for me at home! A month later, you will go to the battlefield with me to kill the enemy. I, the children of the Du family, don't hide in the rear and be at ease, if you want to die, you will die on the battlefield!" Du Changgeng said angrily.

"Du Changgeng, you dare!" Du Xuan's mother, Luo Xifeng, rushed out fiercely.

"Since ancient times, loving mothers have many defeated children. This time, I have made up my mind! Do you know how many good men of my Du family army died on the battlefield in the battle of Luofu Mountain? If other people's men die, my Du Changgeng's son will not die?" Du Changgeng was really angry this time.

Luo Xifeng was about to count down Du Changgeng a few words, but when he saw Du Changgeng's sad eyes, he stopped and pulled Du Xuan aside: "San'er, my mother can't keep you this time." Your father said that if he wants you to go to war in a month, he will definitely take you to war. During this time, you should practice your martial arts. Mother doesn't want you to make contributions on the battlefield, she just wants you to come back alive. ”

It's not that Du Xuan doesn't want to practice martial arts, but he can't. He was born with a weak body, and when he exercised a little, he was sweating profusely, his body was tingling, and his skin and flesh were often bruised, and even his muscles and bones were broken. It is precisely because of this that Du Changgeng did not insist on letting Du Xuan practice martial arts. However, the situation is different now, the front line is critical, and the Du family army has suffered serious losses, and a new army must be organized and trained. If someone's son is going to the battlefield, how can the Du family's son hide in the rear?

Early the next morning, Du Xuan was dragged up from the bed by Du Changgeng. It is indicated that Du Changgeng is going to be real.

"This is my Du family's method of refining the body. One of the five major parts of the Du family's martial arts, it is also the most basic part of the Du family's martial arts. Du Changgeng threw a book in front of Du Xuan.

The Du family's martial arts are divided into five parts: alchemy, boxing, weapon skills, secret methods, and exercises. The Du family's alchemy is the foundation of the foundation, and there is no secret in this part, and the Du family's army uses the Du family's alchemy to train recruits. Du Xuan's foundation is almost zero, and it is inevitable to exercise in this way.

The Du family's alchemy is divided into pile steps and walking steps. The pile step is "static", that is, the static fist momentum in the practice. There are five basic postures: the general trend, the homeopathic trend, the reluctant trend, the small trend, and the defeat trend, which are collectively known as the five potentials of the pile step. It is an important way to train the strength of the whole body and the qi of the whole body. During the exercise, the pile step five potentials are symmetrically practiced, like a blooming double-petaled plum blossom. The changes of the five potentials are endless and all-encompassing, and they are the mother of all kinds of fists, which can be changed and derived into various fists.

Walking is "moving", that is, the various movements and footwork that change and move in the practice. Take the three methods of walking as the sect, that is, the method of swinging, the method of zai, and the method of withdrawal. The pendulum method is the first of the line, the left and right, the advance and retreat, the up and down, the magic is in the live step, and it is mostly used for the footwork of circling around the enemy and disturbing the enemy. Zafa seeks the disease of attack, and uses it to charge and pursue the enemy. It is not only used to get rid of the enemy, but also to hide ambushes and offensive footwork. Walking can walk like the wind, stand like nails, look up to it is high, bow down to it is deep, advance it is long, retreat it is promoted, follow the east to the west, sound left and right, so that the enemy can not distinguish its direction if falling into the fog of five miles.

When practicing the shelf, each posture action should achieve the "five poles", that is, positive, smooth, round, full, and sufficient. That is, the posture is correct, the strength is smooth, the circle is about the change of round work, full of energy, enough that the position size is enough. Strive for the unity of essence, qi and spirit, and achieve the realm of "majestic and powerful".

Du Xuan stood on the pile for less than half an hour, and he was already sweating, and his legs kept shaking. Du Changgeng came to see it, and when he saw Du Xuan's performance like this, he was so angry that he glared and blew his beard.

Du Xuan wanted to hold on for a while longer, but who knew that he would hold on for a while, and then his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground completely uncontrollably. Fortunately, a figure rushed up to support Du Xuan.

"Thank you. Du Xuan said softly and casually, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the second brother Du Yi who was holding him, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Second brother, are you back?"

Du Yi helped Du Xuan aside and sat down: "Third child, your body is really too weak. Don't blame your father, this time the battle of Luofu Mountain was too tragic. Although my Du Jiajun won, it was a miserable victory. I haven't been able to wipe out the barbarian army, and when the barbarian army is rested, I'm afraid that I will still offend me. ”
