092 A Woman's Heart
Although it is not possible to transfer all the books in the collection at the moment, it is possible to borrow some of them.
Although Zhou Tong has already said that the Yiyang Finger Trick is not suitable for everyone to cultivate, Zhao Ji still has some illusions about it, of course, the main reason is that he doesn't want the Six Veins Divine Sword in his hand to become a mess of waste paper, so he still wants Tong Guan to help find out the Yiyang Finger Trick. Perhaps this yang finger is the relationship between the royal martial arts of the Duan family in Dali, so it is more properly collected, and the whole five volumes of one yang finger are stored in a brocade box with a length of more than one foot, and it was quickly found.
Zhou Tong also understood the attraction of the superior martial arts mental method to those who practiced martial arts, so he was not surprised that Zhao Ji was looking for this yang finger trick, and only reminded on the side: "If you don't practice this yang finger to a high depth, there are many changes in the operation of this fingering method that can be used for reference." But if you want to hook your inner breath and practice in the depths, you still have to be cautious. In the past, there were also teachings in the Imperial Boxing Gym to practice this yang finger technique, but because of this, he injured his hand and the Three Yang Sutras, and his strength diverged, causing half of his body to be paralyzed......"
Zhao Ji nodded and said that he understood, martial arts and him did not have to practice any amazing skills, if the real thing could not be done, it would naturally stop immediately, if it hurt his own body, it would really outweigh the losses. In addition to this yang finger trick, Zhao Ji did not choose other excellent martial arts, but just selected some books of fists and swords, made up a box, and took it back as a pastime reading material when he had nothing to do.
The sound of the bangzi under the palace wall, if you don't leave, you can only sleep here tonight. Zhao Ji took someone to carry the box of cheats he picked out and left the inner mansion with Zhou Tong. Tong Guan kept sending the two of them far away, and waited until Zhou Tong said that he would take time to take a look at his situation after he said that he would retire and leave.
At this time, it was getting dark, and Zhou Tong had to go to the appointment of his colleagues in the evening to listen to the direction of the reopening of the Royal Boxing Gym in the court, so he said goodbye to Zhao Ji on the street. Whether the Royal Boxing Gym will reopen, Zhao Ji plans to use Zhou Dong ** to produce a group of martial arts masters to listen to it, especially after seeing the mountain of secret books in the Imperial Boxing Gym, this wish is even more intense. As far as he is concerned, the current imperial court does not open the Royal Boxing Gym, but it is more convenient to do things. So he agreed with Zhou Tong to see him again tomorrow, and then he went home.
Soon after Zhao Ji returned to the palace, he also returned to the mansion after a day of hard work, and carefully talked to Zhao Ji about the details of the Liaodong warehouse.
There were thirteen people in the storehouse, from the proprietor to the men, and eight more who had brought goods into the city in the morning. In order to find out the level of martial arts of these people, Liang Shicheng also went to the beggar gang to ask a few martial arts masters to observe and test it nearby, each of these twenty-one people is not weak in martial arts, and the strongest martial arts is the shopkeeper of the store.
In this regard, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although the martial arts of the elders of the beggar gang are not as far as Qiao Feng, they are also considered to be masters who have been famous for a long time in the martial arts, after all, this river and lake have not yet prospered to the point where magic skills are everywhere and masters are like clouds. The shopkeeper of the inn actually has the strength to match the elders of the beggar gang, and he is already a rare master.
However, it is difficult to deduce any useful information from these materials alone, and Zhao Ji only asked Liang Shicheng to send people to watch over these people. Although the news of Ma Dayuan's death has not yet come, Zhao Ji can also be sure. Although he and Ma Dayuan did not have a very good personal relationship, Ma Dayuan's death was indeed related to Zhao Ji, so Zhao Ji did not plan to let these people go, and sooner or later they would all be killed to avenge Ma Dayuan.
However, before the abbot of Shaolin Xuanci and the monk Zhiguang arrived in Bianliang, Zhao Ji planned to temporarily move these people, so as not to startle the snake and make the other party unable to make another plan. After all, if the other party can get a secret letter, who knows if they still have a thousand copies in their hands? Therefore, Zhao Ji's plan is to use Mrs. Ma to hang these people in Bianliang City first, and wait for the two monks to negotiate after they arrive in Bianliang City, so as to ensure that the forged secret letter loses its validity, and then decide whether to do anything to these people according to the situation.
Mrs. Ma had already hung up the lantern according to Zhao Ji's intention and gave a response, but there was still no news from the other party. Therefore, Liang Shicheng only sent more people around Ma's house according to Zhao Ji's intentions, firstly to protect Mrs. Ma's safety, and secondly, to keep Mrs. Ma in prison and be vigilant.
Regarding the conspiracy surrounding Qiao Feng's life experience, Zhao Ji's intentions have changed. In the past, he was worried that the exposure of Qiao Feng's life experience would cause chaos among the beggars, making his plans go down the drain, and at the same time, Qiao Feng would not allow the tragedy to repeat in the Central Plains Martial Arts. So his plan is to completely cover up this matter and prevent the truth from coming out one day.
However, with the strengthening of his control over the beggar gang, the hidden worries of the first layer have been reduced a lot, even if Qiao Feng's life experience is exposed, with his current control over the beggar gang, he can withstand this impact and not let the overall situation get out of control. And as he communicated with Zhou Dong and knew the amazing potential hidden in the Royal Boxing Gym, his future focus should also be tilted, and he would turn to funding Zhou Dong to cultivate a large number of martial arts masters who can really be used for himself.
As for the impact of the exposure of this matter on Qiao Feng himself, Zhao Ji also thought about it for a long time. In fact, he took precautions early in the morning, and told Qiao Feng that being a Khitan is not a big crime that cannot be tolerated in the world, as long as he is kind, both Han and Khitan people have the right to yearn for a better life.
And as the conspiracy behind Mrs. Ma gradually surfaced, Zhao Ji also realized that it was very difficult to cover up a thing that had happened and involved a wide range of people, especially since there were people with ill intentions who had been making a fuss about it.
Therefore, Zhao Ji's current plan is to first ensure that the secret of Qiao Feng's life experience is not used by people with intentions to use tricks to slip into an extreme, and then find a suitable time to let Qiao Feng know his life experience and give him a buffer process. As for how Qiao Feng would choose after knowing the truth, and whether he would return to Liao to help the Khitans, Zhao Ji could only do his best, but he would not try his best to stop it. The Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty to destroy Liao and recover Yanyun is a battle of national fortunes, and it will never be changed because of anyone's obstruction. If Qiao Feng really chooses to go to protect the Liao Kingdom, then when they meet on the battlefield of the other day, they will only meet and smile, and ask for more blessings. Even if Qiao Feng died in front of him, Zhao Ji would not feel half guilty, he had already fulfilled the righteousness of a friend.
Of course, these are just Zhao Ji's own thoughts, and the first thing to face is the matter in front of him. How the situation will develop again, Zhao Ji is too lazy to speculate, as long as the overall situation is grasped, who is playing tricks, there will be a day when the truth will be revealed.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ji first went to Ma's house to comfort Mrs. Ma, and at the same time explained some things to her. Although it was only one night, Mrs. Ma's whole body became haggard, and Ma Dayuan's bloody clothes were still placed in front of her, as if she had not slept all night, when she saw Zhao Ji enter the door, she just raised her head with a blank expression, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Lord Wang, is my husband really dead like this?"
Zhao Ji walked up to her and sat down, sighed and said, "Their style of acting, you know better than me, although the news of Deputy Ma's death has not yet come, but according to my guess, it should have met with an accident." They handed over the letter to Mrs. You, probably hoping that Mrs. would make an article based on it, and naturally they would get rid of Deputy Ma's helper, first, to deter Madame, and secondly, to get rid of obstacles. Madame, you mourn. ”
Mrs. Ma shook her head slowly, and smiled miserably: "Let the prince laugh, the slave family is a heartless person, although I also know in my heart that my husband is indeed gone, but I don't have much sadness in my heart." Probably the same bed and different dreams, the slave family itself does not have much love for the husband, as soon as I see him, I remember that my fate is at the mercy of others, over the years, even if the husband is so good to me, after all, there is no trace of true affection in my heart. Every time I sit idle, I still think about how happy it should be if the husband suddenly suffers a catastrophe and dies, and the slave family is missing a flail......"
"But it's different...... I don't have this person in my heart, but once he is gone, how can I lose a lot of my heart?"
Speaking of this, although Mrs. Ma's expression was still blank, tears could not stop pouring out: "A person, even if it is an object, eats in one place, sleeps in one place, and can see when he opens his eyes, year after year, where can he not drill into people's hearts? No one asks for warmth anymore, and no one worries from the bottom of his heart whether this woman is hungry or cold...... From now on, how can I live alone?"
These words were cold and clear, as if a person was chattering meaninglessly, but Zhao Ji listened to it in his ears, but felt a little bitter. People are always willing to look back at the past and look up to the future, but they are always unable to grasp what they are in hand at the moment. Like Mrs. Ma, even if she has no feelings for Ma Dayuan, but this person has finally lived into her life, once lost, even if it is a person who is extremely selfish, how can he be indifferent? He suddenly remembered the ending of this woman in his memory, and the revenge of madness to the extreme, isn't it a kind of self-destruction from the heart to the extreme?
Mrs. Ma grabbed the bloody clothes and wiped the tears from her face seriously, but the blood stains on the bloody clothes were smeared on her cheeks, which looked a little funny, but revealed a hideous feeling: "They only see me as a heartless thing, they can marry someone casually, and they can watch the people who accompany them day and night die and are indifferent...... The slave family wants revenge, lord, can you help me......"
