Chapter 146: The militaristic state is in turmoil
Zhao Qi burned his buttocks, and went to Zhang Luo to eat after a busy meal.
Zhao Yu took advantage of this gap to introduce Zhou Zhiruo to his father, and talked about the reason for the relationship between the two.
Zhou Zhiruo's well-behaved was very popular with the old people, especially when she heard Zhou Chuanfu's funeral, Zhao Yong couldn't help but sigh and comfort her, and her kind appearance dispelled Zhou Zhiruo's uneasy thoughts in her heart.
When it was time to eat, Zhao Qi chattered even more at the table and told Zhao Yu about his truth about being a political country, which annoyed Zhao Yu, and it was not good to attack in front of his father, so he only echoed casually.
After being scolded by his father, Zhao Qi stopped talking, but shifted his gaze to Zhou Zhiruo.
At this time, Zhou Zhiruo had changed back into women's clothes and sat at a table with the ladies of the Zhao Mansion, full of unfamiliar faces, and her demeanor was a little restrained.
Zhao Qi is full of ambitions in his chest at the moment, and he can't look at any woman, so he leaned into Zhao Yu's ear and whispered: "Third brother, which family is this Zhou girl from?
Originally, Zhao Yu didn't want Zhao Qi to come to the stage in front of his father and juniors, but when he saw that he was becoming more and more crazy, he immediately threw his chopsticks and said coldly: "Does the eldest brother still want me to have a peaceful meal?"
Seeing that this young brother was angry, Zhao Qi didn't dare to say more, and said with a sneer: "Eat, eat......"
After a meal full of stuffiness, Zhao Yu sent Zhou Zhiruo back to the guest room and went to his father's study.
At this time, Zhao Yong was not tired, and pulled Zhao Yu to talk to him about other things. Zhao Yu also told his father everything in detail, and Zhao Yong smacked his tongue when he heard it, and finally sighed: "I have three sons under my knees, your eldest brother is too stupid, and your second brother is too stupid." When it comes to reassurance, it is you, the youngest son. You've had your own opinions since you were a child, which is why I've kept both of your brothers on a leash, but I've been laissez-faire with you. You can achieve this career, you are really sorry for your father, even if you go to Jiuquan, you also have the face to see your ancestors and ancestors, not because you scolded Fang Xuan's identity, but to save millions of Li people in a place. ”
Zhao Yu said: "Father, don't say such things, you are old and strong now, and you still have a lot of years to sit and watch your son drive the Tartars out of Shenzhou and reorganize the rivers and mountains." ”
Zhao Yong shook his head and said, "When you are old, you will not have enough energy after all." Over the years, I had planned to compile all the books in the house into a book, but every time I sat quietly for a moment, I became flustered and dizzy. Fortunately, your second brother is obsessed with calligraphy, but he can take over my mantle and do this unfinished business. The torch has been passed down from generation to generation, and the Han civilization has been preserved for future generations. ”
Zhao Yu persuaded: "This kind of laborious thing, how can I use my father to do it himself." After I pacify the south of the Yangtze River, I will recruit aspiring scholars from all over the world to do this together. When the time comes, my father will only take on the name of the editor. ”
The father and son exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhao Yu saw that his father's spirit was already a little weak, so he wanted to help Zhao Yong go to bed. Zhao Yong took Zhao Yu's hand and sighed: "Your eldest brother has embarrassed you, so you have to bear more in the future." ”
Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Brothers who are connected by blood, what to talk about." If the eldest brother likes to be famous, he can toss it. It's just that he has a big ambition and a sparse temperament, but I'm a little worried that he will have some false thoughts and really do something that is not allowed by law. ”
Zhao Yong heard Zhao Yumian's answer, and after a moment of silence, he said with a wry smile: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I am an old man who is about to die, what else can I worry about." Since you have such an understanding, you should not allow him to make uncontrollable movements. It's night, go and rest. ”
Zhao Yu waited for his father to fall asleep before quietly exiting the door. The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, but the mood is a little heavy. As his father gets older, he looks more and more seriously to his blood family, and he has a lot of protection for his eldest brother in his words, and he only hopes that neither the eldest brother nor himself will live up to his father's ardent hopes.
The next day, as soon as Zhao Yu got up, Zhao Qi, whose eyes were bloodshot, rushed into the room like a whirlwind, holding a volume of manuscripts in his hand, and said excitedly while waving it: "Third brother, I stayed awake all night last night, and I have learned all my life to sum up these ten strategies for cursing for capture! You take it and carefully smack the clever use, it is easy to break the Mengyuan Imperial Court! We are brothers, I naturally have to think hard about your great cause!"
Zhao Yu was not sensitive to the sudden burst of enthusiasm for the eldest brother, but he only saw that the eldest brother admired the scholar that week, and it was possible to deduce what kind of thing his good strategy was. casually dealt with the past, and was about to go out to visit Li Chun, but Li Chun had already brought his second son to visit.
I haven't seen him for a few years, Li Chun, who has superb internal strength, has not seen his old age, and his second son Li Chengru has finally faded away from the appearance of his youth, and has grown a short mustache, which seems to be much calmer.
Zhao Yu hurriedly welcomed Li Chun's father and son into the mansion, and after some greetings, he said to Li Chun: "All these years, thanks to Master Li Zhuang taking care of my family on my behalf!"
Li Chun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wu Xing is fine, the local noble family in your mansion, where can I take care of it." On the contrary, my Li family can take root and settle here, relying on the care of Mr. Zhao. ”
Zhao Yu remembered what happened to him when he returned home last time, and knew in his heart that if it weren't for Li Chunju's recent care over the years, his family would have to be harassed by people with ill intentions, especially the eldest brother's vain temperament that caught fire when he saw the wind and fire, and it would be really strange if he couldn't make trouble.
Li Chun pondered for a moment, and then said: "If there is anything strange in these years, it is that about three years ago, several martial arts masters suddenly appeared in the left side of your mansion. At first, I just thought these people were just passing by, and I didn't care. But then they rented a house near the left, as if they were going to stay for a long time, and they wandered around the left side of your house day and night. I knew something was wrong, so I secretly tried it, among them are two old men from the Western Regions whose martial arts are really extraordinary, if I hadn't seen the opportunity early and used flying knives to defeat the enemy, I was afraid that one day would be difficult to die! Afterwards, I was about to invite some friends and assistants, but those people disappeared without a trace......
Hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be afraid. Li Chun's martial arts are exquisite, although he is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, but he is firmly among the top masters of martial arts. Especially the flying knife stunt that he has been immersed in for many years, I am afraid that even those who are as strong as Zhang Sanfeng may not be able to cope with it. With such a clever method, he almost lost his life, which shows the high martial arts of the comer!
He hurriedly asked for details, and Li Chun also recounted and narrated. The time when those people came to Wuxing was about not long after Zhao Yu took southern Anhui. As for their origins, Li Chun could only deduce from their appearance that they looked like people from the Western Regions, but the rest were not very clear, and only said: "Those two old men, their internal strength is cold and tricky, and they are not as good as the number of roads in the Middle Earth. I only received one slap from them, and it took me more than half a year to get rid of that cold breath. Although I wounded them with a throwing knife that day, I did not hit the vital point, and if they came again, I would not be able to resist them. However, there was no news afterwards, and I still feel strange when I think about it. ”
Zhao Yu thought about it carefully, but there was no result. If it was a figure in the Middle-earth martial arts, he could still know a rough idea, but if it was the Western Regions martial arts, he knew very little. Fortunately, this incident did not cause terrible consequences, but when Zhao Yu thinks about it now, he still feels scared, and he repeatedly thanked Li Chun.
Li Chun smiled: "It's all in the past, there's no need to thank you." If you want to thank you, I want to thank you a lot. The ancestors passed down this flying knife stunt, which has been dusty for a long time, but with your fame, it has become famous. Every time I think about it, I feel so happy. ”
After talking for a while, Zhao Yu caught a glimpse of Li Chengru, who was standing beside Li Chun, and stopped talking a few times, so he asked: "Chengru has something to say, we are not outsiders." ”
Hearing this, Li Chengru's face suddenly showed joy, and when he peeked at his father and was not displeased, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, can you take me with you when you go back to Chuzhou this time? Wu Xing's life is too comfortable, which has drained people's morale, how can he be happy to fight with horses!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu hesitated slightly, fighting on the battlefield will inevitably cause casualties, he didn't agree easily, so he turned his head and said, "I have to ask your father." ”
Li Chun glanced back at his second son and sighed: "This kid has been restless since he was a child, and now he has no longevity when he is in his first year, and he is not a material for keeping his own family and business." If Brother Zhao can accept him and discipline him strictly, it will be a matter of concern for me. As for the danger of the battlefield, it has nothing to do with it. Life and death depend on fate, if the time is not good, even if you sit at home, there will be flying disasters. ”
Zhao Yu groaned slightly, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can follow me as a personal soldier." Military law is strict, don't make mistakes!"
Li Chengru heard Zhao Yu's promise, nodded hurriedly, and said, "You must obey the commander-in-chief's military order!"
Zhao Yu stayed at home for the time being, serving his father every day, and at the same time ordering his family to close the door. This made Zhao Qi, who was enthusiastic and wanted to feast on his former friends to participate in the grand event, but now he has long regarded himself as Xie An, who has made a comeback, and he does not dare to complain about Zhao Yu, the future hero, and he works hard in the room every day, and he has to pull Zhao Yu to share the occasional gain.
After getting along for a few days, Zhao Yu gradually understood the temperament of his eldest brother, and there was no difference between him and the sour and rotten literati who were still dead in the family but had the world's feelings in their hearts, although they were harmless but really annoying, so they simply turned a blind eye.
Zhao Yu also discussed martial arts with Zhou Zhiruo, and after some discussion, he realized why he loved Zhou Zhiruo only because of the extermination master's eyes, this girl is really talented in the way of martial arts, and in just a few years, she has practiced many martial arts of the Emei faction quite methodically, which is more profound than many disciples who have been in the field for a long time, but the internal strength is still slightly lacking.
Zhao Yu's current martial arts are all about learning, and he is not much better than a grandmaster like Exterminator Shitai, because Zhou Zhiruo's Yu Ruo, who has been practicing, is interested in it, so he simply ponders it with his heart, and sorts out the thirty-six styles to teach Zhou Zhiruo. This set of thirty-six styles of feather is scattered, not only including finger palms, fists and claws, but also incorporating some true meaning of the sword, both the ethereal ghost of the nine yin martial arts, and there is no lack of grandeur, the most rare is the change from simple to complex, from complex to simple, can be regarded as the essence of Zhao Yu's life to learn the essence of the summary, compared to any school of martial arts tricks are not much more sophisticated.
The season gradually entered winter, and due to the cold weather, Xu Da, who was in charge of the battle in Songjiang, had to suspend the offensive and take the strategy of exhausting the troops, and the soldiers took turns to attack. Although he still maintains the oppression of Jiqing, he has no intention of capturing Jiqing a year ago.
Zhao Yu originally planned to spend a New Year with Zhou Zhiruo at Wu Xing's house, but a sudden piece of information made his intention come to naught: the people in the rivers and lakes in southern Anhui and other places were in turmoil, and the Huainan Heavenly Eagle Sect seemed to be going to travel far away, but they did not report it to the Chuzhou Governor's Office!
Upon learning of this, Zhao Yu did not dare to stay in Wuxing any longer, and immediately decided to return to Chuzhou. Before leaving, he left a hundred guards of the Five Elements Banner to guard the door of the house, and strictly ordered Zhao Qi not to swagger around, leaving behind a cruel sentence: "If he does not obey the control, he will break his hands and feet and throw them in the room to raise!"
