Chapter 12 The Changing Tide
。
The dust of Aobai has settled, and Aobai's henchmen were wiped out by Kangxi, only a little fugitive, but it is no longer a climate, and Kangxi also gave all the credit for capturing Aobai to Mu Sen, which made Mu Sen famous in the rivers and lakes for a while, although there are good and bad, but at least Mu Sen is famous, as for Wei Xiaobao, he also got some rewards and was promoted to the chief eunuch.
Then, Kangxi ordered Suo Etu and Wei Xiaobao to quarrel and raid Aobai's home, and what is even more surprising is that Kangxi finally rewarded Aobai's mansion to Mu Sen, which is really surprising, which makes many people in the court see Kangxi's favor to Mu Sen, and they rush to show goodwill, even Suo Etu is no exception.
Suo Etu and Wei Xiaobao were ordered to confiscate Aobai's family property, the two of them privately swallowed one million taels, and even sent 200,000 taels to Mu Sen, of course Mu Sen did not refuse, but he did not ask for silver tickets, but chose some rare treasures to offset the 200,000 taels, although Suo Etu felt a little strange, but he did not refuse.
Mu Sen naturally has his own considerations, for him, the silver ticket is not of great use, and these days, there are also many officials who have given a lot of gifts, plus the filial piety of the officers and soldiers of the forward battalion he now commands and Kangxi's last ten thousand taels of silver, which is enough for him to spend for a long time, and he also has his own considerations for these rare treasures.
It is impossible for Mu Sen to stay in the world of Lu Ding Ji all the time, and the silver ticket of the world of Lu Ding Ji can only be used in this world, and it is a piece of waste paper in other worlds, it is not as good as this rare treasure, Mu Sen can't guarantee that he has such good luck in each world, in case he needs money in a certain world, he can also sell these rare treasures, he can also be regarded as a rainy day!
Mu Sen lived in the original Ao Bai mansion, and now it has become Mu Mansion, this mansion is really magnificent, no worse than those princes' mansions, which allows Mu Sen to enjoy an ancient luxury life, but unfortunately, he only has a little freshness about these, after all, he is not here.
Now that he has the Chengying Sword, he naturally can't wait to practice Tai Chi swordsmanship, and now his internal skills are improving day by day, and Tai Chi is almost a great success, this time he fought against Aobai, Mu Sen also saw the advantages and disadvantages of Tai Chi, Tai Chi is more than enough to deal with a master of horizontal hard skills like Ao Bai, but it will definitely be greatly discounted to deal with the sword and sword.
In this case, Mu Sen naturally can't wait to practice Tai Chi swordsmanship, although he has not practiced Tai Chi swordsmanship before, but its truth and Tai Chi boxing still have many similarities, the emphasis is not on the form, pay attention to the god in the sword first, endlessly, to remain unchanged in response to all changes, the essence of Tai Chi swordsmanship is to be blunt with oneself, blocking the enemy's bladeless.
This time, Mu Sen is far easier to learn Tai Chi swordsmanship than when practicing Tai Chi, after all, there is a foundation for Tai Chi Boxing, and it is naturally much easier to learn Tai Chi swordsmanship, Tai Chi swordsmanship is broad and profound, it seems that there are many moves, but in fact there is only one move, but it is this move, its changes are endless.
This time, it only took Mu Sen three days to learn Tai Chi swordsmanship, of course, this is just that he learned swordsmanship, but he can't use it as freely as Tai Chi, the swordsmanship moves are dead, only by learning and using it can it exert its true power, and if there are moves in swordsmanship, there must be flaws, after learning swordsmanship, Mu Sen began to learn Zhang Wuji to forget swordsmanship.
It's a pity that Mu Sen doesn't seem to be able to do it to the same extent as Zhang Wuji, saying that he wants to forget the sword moves, but it is very difficult, he is also curious about how Zhang Wuji did it at the beginning, since he can't do it, then Mu Sen can only take his time, while practicing internal strength and Taijiquan, he also understands the essence of Taiji swordsmanship, at least now no one can threaten Mu Sen's safety.
In addition to practicing martial arts, Mu Sen has the only thing left, that is, to lead the forward battalion, now he is the commander of the forward battalion, naturally he needs to do things, before Ao worshiped the dictatorship, Kangxi could not mobilize many people and horses, and there were only the imperial guards and the forward battalion, so both were arranged by Kangxi to guard the palace.
Now that Ao Bai has been removed, it stands to reason that the forward battalion should evacuate the palace, after all, they are not the imperial guards, but now Kangxi has been busy dealing with government affairs, how can he still care about this, so the forward battalion has always stayed in the palace, except for patrolling in the palace, there is nothing else to do, and Mu Sen does not have to bother with anything.
There are a total of 500 people in the forward battalion, among these 500 people, Mu Sen found a very interesting thing, among these 500 people, there are 50 people who have something special, the weapon they use is a musket, but in this period, the production process of muskets is still very poor, easy to explode, and can only be bought from foreigners, so the scale of the musket team is not large.
And Mu Sen also found that this musket is not very practical, and it is easy to cause dangers such as exploding, so although the forward battalion has such an organization as the musket team, in fact, the weapons used by the fifty members of the musket team are all swords, which makes Mu Sen have a good idea, which is also very helpful for his future plans.
However, at this time, it still needs to be done secretly, Mu Sen does not have manpower now, so he can only put it on hold, while there is nothing to do now, Mu Sen concentrates on practicing martial arts, except for sometimes going to see Kangxi and dealing with the affairs of the forward battalion, Mu Sen almost spends the rest of the time on practicing martial arts, martial arts practice needs to be persisted for many years, and you can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days, so it will only achieve nothing.
In the following days, the palace and the palace also became very lively, first Hai Dafu died in Cining Palace, and then Tiehu attacked Prince Kang's mansion and wanted to save Aobai, but was ambushed by Duolong, only Tiehu was seriously injured and fled, and then Wei Xiaobao was ordered to remove Aobai, but Aobai died, and he himself was robbed by the people of the Heaven and Earth Society.
For this reason, Kangxi was furious, and summoned Duolong and Mu Sen over, and issued an edict: "Now that Xiao Guizi has been kidnapped by thieves, and his life and death are uncertain, I ordered the two of you to take people out of the palace to search, even if you turn over the capital, you must also find Xiaobao for me." ”
Kangxi gave an order, the guards and the people of the forward battalion all moved, and launched a search in the capital, Mu Sen naturally knew where Wei Xiaobao was, as for Wei Xiaobao's safety, he was not worried, this kid was very lucky, and he was the protagonist of Lu Ding Ji, unless Mu Sen attacked him, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to lose his life, and Mu Sen did not want to attack him for the time being, after all, Wei Xiaobao has not threatened him or ruined his plan for the time being, and it is useless to kill him.
