Chapter 196 Standard Talents
There were suddenly eleven more strangers in the small courtyard, Gao Yuan did not go to practice knives at night, sat in the hut and had no sleep all night, pushed the door out at dawn, habitually went to the corner of the wall to touch the broom, his hand fell empty, and a string of laughter came from his ears. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Captain, a snow at the end of the year, three loads of grain in the coming year, Kyoto customs, clean the snow in the backyard in front of the door, and change purple clothes for the children's wisdom. ”
When pranayama, I noticed that the guards changed posts in the middle of the night, walking back and forth in the backyard from time to time, and now the ground is covered with snow, and I can't see half of the footprints, Gao Yuan is aware of it, and his eyes look at Mei Ruoxue's feet, and the black leather boots are not stained with half a snowflake. Mei Ruoxue didn't know that he could see secretly, and when he spoke, his body was still moving left and right in the snow, flashing forward and backward, pulling out countless phantoms in a half-zhang circle, looking like dancing in the snow, obviously practicing a set of very clever footwork.
"Walking on the snow without a trace, today I finally got to see the light skills. ”
"Hey, you-" The dance-like movements stopped with the sound, and Mei Ruoxue covered up her shyness with annoyance: "The captain can see things in the dark, why does it take a long time to speak, I want to take the opportunity to steal school." ”
"If you can steal it from a few glances, let alone talk about strange skills, I was curious for a while, and I wanted to find the real body from the phantom, but the more I looked at it, the more I lost confidence. ”
Mei Ruoxue saw that he said frankly, and pointed to the side with a sigh of anger: "The mud wall is more than three feet thick and mixed with sand and gravel, and the captain's knife and knife are penetrated, and the landing point is connected into a line. ”
Gao Yuan bent down to pick up the snow, wiped his face a few times, shook off the snow in his hand, wiped it clean on his clothes, walked to the mud wall and picked up the wooden knife, Mei Ruoxue almost turned into a stone when she saw it, and searched her memory to find no easier way to wash her face.
"The knife, the hegemon of the soldiers, pays special attention to the momentum, recruits, and the enemy is not injured, the knife is broken, see clearly-"
Gao Yuan grasped the handle of the knife with both hands, and it seemed to melt into one with the knife in an instant, there was no fancy movement under his feet, he stepped to the side of the mud wall in a few steps, the wooden knife stabbed straight out, and the side drew the knife back, and there was a small hole in the mud wall.
"Practicing a knife is not a protector, all you want is to kill the enemy, the knife is in hand, there is a knife but there is no me, everyone holds a knife to protect the body, and I defend the knife alone. ”
Gao Yuan has a knife in his hand, no longer has a normal look, strides out of the knife, draws the knife and retreats, simple actions are coherent, if there are marks on the mud wall, the knife pierces out of the small holes evenly spaced, gradually connected into a row, the last knife is stabbed, the palm of the hand touches the blade when the knife is closed, the wooden knife is wiped clean, gently leans against the wall, and then raises the sleeve to wipe the mud on the face.
"Chopping, stabbing, cutting, grid, the trick of stabbing words, nothing more than fast, accurate, ruthless, easier said than practiced, yesterday I saw you have a sword on your back, stabbing words, maybe you have some use. ”
Gao Yuan returned to the hut, Mei Ruoxue in the backyard was still thinking, occasionally picked up a wooden knife, stabbed into the mud wall but a little deep, the soil splashed on her face, mixed with snowflakes turned into muddy water, she still sometimes thought and sometimes practiced, until the guards got up and lined up, then hatefully put down the knife and ran over, the rumors are true, the martial arts are by no means opponents, so that the young martial arts school who thinks highly of himself is ashamed, annoyed and a little happy.
Listening to Mei Ruoxue's footsteps going away, Gao Yuan came out to wash in another hut nearby, and when he saw that the ground was clean, he blushed and hurriedly closed the door.
The rules of the small courtyard, there is no identity difference in the meal, everyone sits around the table, the handyman maid talks and laughs, the restraint of the guards weakens a meal a lot, and after the meal, he takes the initiative to help the maid clean up the tables, chairs and benches.
"Wen Qinghan, have you heard of this person?"
"My father is the concubine of the old military minister, and my mother is also a partial house, although she is now a descendant of the Wen Mansion, her power position is not as good as that of the side branches. Like her sister Wen Qingrou, she was bullied a lot when she was young, and her literary and martial arts were revealed before her elders looked at her differently, but because of this, the situation in the Wen Mansion was even more embarrassing. One went to the Lingbo Standard Camp to protect the county lord, and the other went out to study, and the two sisters and brothers rarely returned home once in several years. ”
What Mei Ruoxue said was consistent with the information provided by Ling Huqing, and Gao Yuan looked at her: "If you're not in the barracks, you can't sit down and talk." Mei Ruoxue directly chose to ignore it, stood aside and said to herself: "The captain wants to invite Wen Qinghan into the camp, and he disagrees with it, the situation is delicate, and the loyalty of the Wen Mansion is doubtful." ”
"Suspicion is not evidence, I invited him into the camp, you know there are private reasons, but it is also out of public intentions. Because of the delicate situation, it is better to have one more ally than one more enemy, and as for loyalty to the empire, there is no need for me to worry, if he has any objections, you have the right to kill!"
"The soldier who broke the barracks, his loyalty is already suspicious, no matter how much Wen Qinghan is, if he takes the lead in making trouble, he is very likely to respond to every call, please think twice. ”
"You are wrong, the soldier who broke the barracks, military discipline gives me a headache, but loyalty cannot be doubted. Gao Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, straightened out his thoughts, and then explained: "More than a dozen noble families died in the melee, and it is difficult for the criminal department to find out the direct murderer, so everyone may be the murderer. ”
"They could still gather a crowd to become bandits?"
"If you have the path to be promoted and make a fortune, are you willing to become a horse bandit and a bandit? Don't be in a hurry to refute it, it won't be long before I let them know what will happen to gathering a crowd to become a bandit! Hehe, this is not the first time I have done it to dig a pit at home and die at home, and burying someone alive is not the worst punishment. ”
Mei Ruoxue covered her mouth and asked in disbelief: "Did you really drink human blood in the grassland?" Gao Yuan spit out the tea, put down the teacup and smiled bitterly: "You should have heard the explanation." ”
"The reason can be made up after the fact, anyway, drinking human blood has spread all over the army. Mei Ruoxue is secretly in charge of the military and political power, if she does not agree to Wen Qinghan entering the camp, Gao Yuan can only give up, is to explain patiently, seeing that her tone has loosened, she is busy striking while the iron is hot: "I don't know much about the daily paperwork and reception, so I want to pull him in, of course, let him make some credit, in return for the cultivation of the two instructors." ”
"I only know his name but not the person, and then make a decision after I know it. ”
"If you bring someone with you, Bao will definitely eat the closed door, and I will go alone, so I will be sincere. ”
"If you don't get along with him, how can you know if he is reliable? ”
Wen Mansion, the old housekeeper smiled sheepishly: "Captain, it's really unfortunate, the young master went out, I don't know when I will come back." Gao Yuan glanced at Mei Ruoxue next to her, and saw that she was glaring at herself and gritting her teeth, for fear that she would lose her temper on the spot, so she hurriedly gave her hand and said goodbye: "Old housekeeper, I'll come and chat with Brother Wen for a few words, since he went out, I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Turning the corner, Mei Ruoxue pouted: "Stay as a watchdog, don't forget to put on the stinky frame of the son of the family, the captain may be powerful in battle, and he doesn't dare to compliment him if he knows people." ”
"I will take out Li Longbow from the Guards, strange words are indispensable, the pro-guards are in charge of military law, remember to punish him heavily, pull him to a place where no one is and beat him up, don't ask me again." ”
Mei Ruoxue smiled and summoned the five guards who followed behind, and commanded loudly: "Li Changgong's skills are very good, don't be ashamed, the five of them will go together, if you can't beat me, hehe, don't forget the old rules." ”
"What rules?" Gao Yuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard the old rules, Mei Ruoxue raised her chin and smiled without answering, and the sentry chief reported embarrassedly: "The captain used a few moves, and we took a few military sticks afterwards." ”
In the guard camp, Gao Yuan handed over the transfer order, and the captain of the guard laughed: "High school captain, Li Changgong heard that he was going to be transferred, and he bragged when he saw people in the past few days, if he thinks he is the second child in the broken barracks, no one dares to be the boss, or for the sake of leaving, I really want to put him in the confinement room for reflection." ”
Mei Ruoxue stood behind Gao Yuan, and completely understood why she wanted to beat Li Changgong as soon as they met, she was too arrogant, so she should be transferred to the pro-guard team and let him be a sandbag for practicing boxing every day.
"Captain, Second Standard Archer Patrol Commander Li Changgong reports!"
"Li Changgong, the senior lieutenant came to pick you up, didn't you want to leave a long time ago? After you are promoted and make a fortune, don't forget to bring me with you. ”
"The glory of the Guards endures, and it is a shame for the Guards officers to be reluctant to leave, and to be in the company of the remnants of the army. ”
Mei Ruoxue clenched her fists, shame, my aunt and grandmother will let you know what shame is!
Out of the guard camp, Li Changgong changed his face: "Brother, the rumor has been spreading for several days, and I only came to pick it up today, but I know that I live like a year, are you a little forgetful of your friends-"
"Li Longbow!"
"Sir—"
Gao Yuan jumped on the horse, didn't look back, and waited in a secluded place in front, and it didn't take long for Mei Ruoxue to catch up, and Li Longbow climbed on the horse's back, and didn't dare to say a word after stopping.
"What's going on?"
"Captain, Li Changgong insulted the commander, according to military law, he should be confined and responsible, and now the camp is not good, and the matter is urgent, so that people use fists and feet instead of military sticks. ”
Li Longbow's skill Gao Yuan knew best, but he didn't expect to be subdued after a while, and he was even more satisfied with Mei Ruoxue's personal guards, and gave a thumbs up behind his back with his hands.
"Brother, the pro-guard team only obeys the captain's orders, you said this at the beginning, military law is ruthless, and it has nothing to do with me if you want to take revenge and find Mei Ruoxue, but you better hurry up to the martial arts school, or revenge is far away." ”
Mei Ruoxue and the guards were angry and funny, daring to love the old rules and let the captain learn and use it, Gao Yuan crawled in Li Changgong's ear and scolded: "In order to transfer you, Yu Wenjie scolded me for a long time, and the two brothers were even." Li Changgong didn't expect the guards to attack in a group without making a sound, and when she stabilized her position to counterattack, Mei Ruoxue made a move, and her fist and foot kung fu was not an opponent, not to mention that she also had five very good helpers.
"Captain, Li Changgong knows his mistakes, and he will repay the kindness of his teaching in the future!"
Flesh injuries are commonplace for officers who are born in the academy, and Gao Yuan asked two guards to escort Li Changgong home, and there were miscellaneous servants and maids to serve him, and he was limited to report for duty within three days to recover from his injuries.
"Li Longbow's kung fu is really good, and the five guards didn't fall down when they sneaked up. Mei Ruoxue was a little embarrassed when she said: "I have a bit of a heavy shot, and in three days, he may not be able to do well." Gao Yuan smiled: "He will come tomorrow, he is used to being beaten in the standard camp, and there is no shortage of good medicine." ”
"The captain didn't get beaten less, did he?"
Gao Yuan couldn't help but think of Scarface, grinning and not answering, but his expression had already betrayed him, he was beaten, who was more ruthless than Hua Yue, he couldn't get out of bed for more than ten days, and he was more seriously injured than in the battle.
"Let's go, go to the Criminal Department to pick up Li Zihui, remember to send more vigilant guards to monitor, this kid has a bad heart, you have to be careful to beware. ”
In the prison of the Criminal Department, Li Zihui suffered a lot in the first few days, and shouted in pain: "I'm dying, why bother with torture, what confession do you want, I will sign it after it is written." "The words are good, after the suspension of the sentence, he asked whether the master was responsible, and he took it all on his shoulders, so that the torture was both admired and angry, and the torture equipment gradually escalated, Li Zihui died and came back to life several times, but I didn't expect that one day the jailer changed to a smiling face, only to know that Gao Yuan saved everyone's lives.
"Li Zihui, it's very comfortable, there is wine and meat to live in a single room, or hand over the silver ticket and find a way to get a female prisoner in for you." ”
"Captain!"
Mei Ruoxue shouted angrily, and hurriedly covered her nose again, there seemed to be tears in her eyes when she lowered her head, she never wanted to smell the smell of the dungeon again, and she couldn't help but follow up out of duty.
"It's comfortable, you come in, I'll go out!"
Li Zihui looked at the upright guards in the aisle, no wonder the other prisons did not have the usual strange screams, the guards were murderous, and the knives were pulled out of the sheath a few inches long.
"I saved your life, that's not quite right. Say a few words of praise and praise, when I was in Sanhe Bay, you kid didn't spread rumors to me. ”
"What did Lao Tzu say wrong at the beginning? Now it's all true! Do you want to tell your guards? Li Zihui turned around and sat down, and continued to scold while drinking: "You saved my life, but you will also kill Lao Tzu and lead a group of outlaws, and I will have to hold a knife when I sleep in the future, it is better to die early." ”
"Sleep and hold a knife, it's like this, you give the order to release the arrows, the dead and wounded under the arrows are guards and family members, of course, there are also soldiers, hehe, the three parties will not treat you as a benefactor. ”
"I'll run back from the ghost gate for a few laps, live one more day and earn one more day, will I be afraid of them?!"
Gao Yuan laughed: "I'm afraid that you will become cowardly as a mouse, hehe, if you encounter something similar in the future, boldly order, I will take responsibility afterwards." Warden, please come out. ”
Walking out of the dungeon, Li Zihui ran over and hugged him, letting Gao Yuan kick it away: "Go to the next room to take a shower and change clothes, the smell on your body stinks to death, when you are-"
"Captain, the new first patrol of the Lingbo Standard Battalion, who is the chief instructor, how can so many talents be cultivated!" Out of the dungeon, Mei Ruoxue's face eased, and she walked to Gao Yuan's side and shot back: "Do you want to hug? ”
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Li Zihui changed into the student soldier uniform brought by Gao Yuan, and stood aside, Gao Yuan reprimanded angrily: "There is a difference between the top and bottom, you and Li Longbow are not allowed to stand in a row with me, so as not to look more ugly." Li Zihui didn't know what happened to Li Longbow, and raised his head proudly: "You and Rufeng Chang stand together, just like a black chicken with a phoenix, hehe, not to mention the county lord-"
"Bold!"
After a few scoldings, Mei Ruoxue was about to let the guards take people, Gao Yuan hurriedly dodged to block it, Li Zihui obediently closed his mouth, and said in private, there is no harm in saying it in private, there is a difference between respect and inferiority in front of people, and the army is even more hierarchical, and it is no longer the student soldier when he was in the standard camp and the grassland.
"Brother, I forgot to tell you, Li Changgong just let people beat him up, you went to be his companion tonight, and you want to scold me in the house, but I can't hear it anyway. ”
