(PS: Stamp and add more for the autumn color and boiled water)

The cold spring that had raged for more than 20 days finally passed, and the spring of the second year of the Apocalypse (1622) finally arrived, and the weeds on the hillside had already appeared a faint green.

Although there is too little green on the grass, the footsteps of spring will definitely not stop since they have already sounded.

"The light rain in the heavenly street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass is close but there is nothing. Really good verses, really good verses!"

"I said, old master, what are you called, so sour. It's just a few weeds, and I don't see anything good about it. ”

"Hahaha, the young master is a person who does big things, so naturally he can't be compared with us useless nerds. However, the young master should not ignore the power of Xiaocao. The ancients said: The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the country is in turmoil to show loyal ministers. He also said: The wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows again. ”

"Well, those few words are good, I like them. ”

The old master is actually not old at all, it should be said that he is very young, he is only 25 years old this year.

This old master is none other than Miao Sanguan, who traveled 300 miles to Wenyue Villa, the only one who has raised people in Miaojiazhai since the ages.

After Prince Xiong broke up with Chanel that day, he rested in place for one night, and then rushed to Mianchi and brought Miao Sanguan's wife Zhang Rulian, sister Miao Ruolan, and four teenage maids back to Wenyue Villa.

The group of Li Xin, Xiaohong, Fang Qianxun and Mr. Peng Er has not yet returned because of the long journey to the Western Regions.

But Huang Yanying, who went to Ruicheng Dachunyang Palace to look for Shangqing Immortal Gu, didn't come back, which is a bit strange.

After Prince Xiong and the others left, there was no adult man in Wenyue Villa to preside over outside, and the entire Wenyue Villa was twelve-year-old Huo Lianshan, with more than 300 children fooling around. However, they were outnumbered, and it is said that they drove away two groups of wolves.

Later, Miao Sanguan came here, so after some verbal investigation, Aunt Wu confirmed that there was no problem with this guy, and directly arranged for him to take office, and soon became the person in charge.

I didn't expect that this old man who was going to hang himself in the river not long ago still has two brushes, and he actually knows how to fight in battle.

After some of his drills, the three hundred children ordered Huo Lianshan, who had the best martial arts, to be the leader, Xiong Cuiyun and Xiong Yue'e to be the assistants, and then divided the children into eight groups on duty, neither delaying the usual exercises, nor delaying the guards of the villa, and everything was in order.

After Xiong Chu came back, Miao Sanguan and his wife reunited, which was naturally a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Three days later, Miao Sanguan and Xiong Chu had an all-night talk.

Miao Sanguan pointed out that although there are not many adults in Wenyue Villa now, the population is not large, and it will be exposed sooner or later, so it is necessary to take some precautions in advance, so as not to have unsightly characters come to make trouble.

In addition to killing people, Prince Xiong can't do anything else, so he handed over all the affairs to Miao Sanguan to handle, and announced in public the appointment of Miao Sanguan as the chief steward of Wenyue Villa.

Unexpectedly, the first condition proposed by Miao Sanguan was that he needed to add bows and arrows, which made Xiong Chu very troubled.

But Miao Sanguan was full of words: "Our mountain villa is deep in the mountains, and most of them are women, children and children. Not to mention the enemy attacking, just dealing with wolves, without a bow and arrow, is very dangerous. ”

Fortunately, after a night of thinking, Xiong Chu finally thought of a place by him.

If you want to talk about this place, it is that after Wangqi Sanren caught Xiong Chu, he ordered him to "cooperate with himself to be angry", and he ended up walking to two places, that is, the southern town and the northern town of Xin'an County.

These two names are strange because these two places are places dedicated to crafting weapons.

However, they all create standard weapons for the Ming army, and they do not sell them to the outside world, which is the first aspect of Xiong Chu's headache.

On the other hand, the Da Ming Law clearly stipulates: "Privately possessing military weapons will be regarded as a conspiracy to rebel and exterminate the clan." ”

"The young master is really a decent gentleman. Hearing the two concerns that Xiong Chu said, Miao Sanguan shook his head and said, "If you really want to follow the law of Da Ming, young master, your head would have been cut off a long time ago." Don't you understand the principle that chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts? If a killer can still live, this has already violated the law of the Ming Dynasty. ”

It was the first time that Prince Xiong heard others say that he was a righteous gentleman, and his face turned red at that time.

The guy who kills people without blinking and goes to the widow's bed at night, some people even say that he is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he can't blush if he doesn't want to.

"Young master, I've been through so many things, and I finally understand it. Miao Sanguan seems to have really been reborn, not like a nerd at all: "Fang today, as long as you have money and power, there is no law to restrain you." In order to protect ourselves, we don't really want to rebel, what are you afraid of?"

In this way, Xiong Chu gritted his teeth, set off with Huo Lianshan, of course, with a lot of silver tickets, and then spent nine days to get back sixty three-stone bows and four-stone bows, and 1,200 arrows. In addition, he brought back 240 iron swords, 240 single swords, and 360 spear heads.

Because this is a black market channel, Xiong Chu spent 30,000 taels of silver tickets at a time, of which 20,000 taels bought through the joints, and even got the road guide to escort the weapons, and swaggered back in a big car, and at the same time left himself a way to do business in the future.

After this business, Xiong Chu has a further understanding of the basic situation of today's great tomorrow.

This time, if he didn't want to do business, according to Xiong Chu's original temper, he would slaughter the biggest corrupt official in Nanzhi Town, that is, the imperial court's supervisor, on the spot.

The second building of Miao Sanguan is to ask Yueshan Villa to be different from inside and outside.

Although Huo Lianshan is young, he is no stranger to things outside, so he is mainly responsible for the guards outside.

Zhang Rulian, as the head of the inner hall, took Xiong Cuiyun, Xiong Yue'e and the thirty-nine women who Xiaohong got back, and was responsible for the safety of the inner hall.

After some hectic turmoil, Wenyue Villa began to get on the right track, and Xiong Chu finally discovered Miao Sanguan's organizational talent.

In the following month, Xiong Chu served as an instructor during the day, instructing more than 400 people to practice martial arts.

In the evening, Miao Sanguan became a master and gave lessons to Xiong Chu.

In the past month, Miao Sanguan has taught Xiong Chu only one content, that is, Guiguzi's book "Close".

Miao Sanguan knew that Xiong Chu basically belonged to the generation of people who did not learn and did not know how to do it, so he explained the basic truth in simple terms.

"The Close" is the most important philosophical thought of Guiguzi, and it is also the theoretical basis for gradually evolving into the monarch's strategy, the art of war, and the vertical and horizontal.

捭 means to open, and closed means to close.

This is a contradictory unity of one positive and one negative, one yin and one yang.

Therefore, Guiguzi said: "That is, if you want to close it, you will be noble; ”

Miao Sanguan explained in detail: "Young master, please think about it, if you want to put everything on the bright side so that everyone can see it, then you must be meticulous and rigorous in every detail, so that people can't catch the loopholes." If you want to keep something hidden, then secrecy comes first. ”

Of course, the two are not set in stone. Miao Sanguan took out a few pieces of paper and shook it: "For example, the so-called "Book of Thieves" you brought back, why don't I explain, it makes sense." When the time comes, I'll talk about it specifically. ”

"The key question we are discussing now is, what do we need to show and what do we not see? ”

By extension, what we usually see is what others want to show us. And what others don't want to show us, you will never see. That's the scale. ”

"In the art of war, it is said: what can be shown is not, and what is used is not used. This is the specific form of the theory of "捭阖" in the art of war, so the distinction between "捭阖" is not the distinction between true and false. ”

"As the saying goes: you want to cover up. Then we can follow this principle when dealing with things. Leave the illusion visible to others and conceal the true purpose. That is what the Art of War says: Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang. ”

In the next month, Miao Sanguan never mentioned "The Book of Thieves", but started from "The Close", combined with "The Art of War", and taught Xiong Chu for the first time.

If it is said that Xiong Chu and Li Xin are talking, it is a state of admiration, and it is incredible to see the various martial arts paths left by the people who want to disperse their anger for the first time.

Then, Xiong Chutong listened carefully for a month, and Miao Sanguan actually explained all aspects of being a king, a minister, commanding the army, and governing the country in simple terms.

Because of this, Xiong Chu's only feeling about Miao Sanguan was shock.

It can be said that Miao Sanguan is fully worthy of the title of "knowing astronomy, geography, and managing the military and civilians in the middle". In particular, the people's livelihood and officials, military books and war strategies are all refined, and they can be military advisors or prime ministers.

This kind of talent went to Beijing to participate in the examination, and it was even famous in the mountains, which shows that the Ming Dynasty has reached what kind of journey.

That is, from this day on, Prince Xiong called Miao Sanguan the old master, which is not a joke, but an honorific title, which is actually the meaning of Mr. Bai.

Drums don't need to be hammered.

Although Xiong Chu doesn't read much, that's because there are no conditions. But Miao Sanguan's teaching in the past month has made Xiong Chu seem to have entered a new world, and his knowledge of all aspects has almost reached the point of hunger and thirst.

Especially when Xiong Chu asked, he was able to draw inferences from one case every time, making Miao Sanguan shout genius.

The so-called teaching and learning each other, as a result, two people learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and they are inseparable.

After lunch today, Xiong Chu asked Huo Lianshan to lead everyone to practice martial arts, and he and Miao Sanguan began to climb the mountain.

"Young Master, the Book of Heaven is indeed a book of heaven. Coming to a high platform, Miao Sanguan said: "I said that it is a book from heaven, not that it is profound. The young master couldn't understand the words in the back, and it was because someone was tricky and wrote them in Sanskrit to fool people. ”

Xiong Chu was puzzled when he heard it: "Write it in Sanskrit to fool people? Is that not for people to understand?"

Well, there's a layer of meaning, but it's not the whole story. Miao Sanguan took out the small box from his arms and said: "First of all, let's not talk about why these thirteen pieces of paper have no head and tail, just these papers are almost broken when touched, and they can't be buried in the ground, in fact, there is another way to do it." ”

Xiong Chu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry, old master, this matter is not a joke, you can talk about it slowly." We must find a reason, otherwise, when the time comes, everyone will come back, I heard that we offended the Huashan faction, and I got back a useless thing, and I can't explain it. ”K
