son-in-law

Chapter 1250 Chapter [-] Dark Night

The sound of rain rustled, falling on the roof and along the room. The small river behind the room also became turbulent. On the opposite bank, a awning boat tied with a rope was rising and falling in the water.

After lunch, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun sat by the small terrace, holding on to the railing to watch the rain.

It is also a short break during the training of temporary masters.

The situation in Fuzhou City has become tense. Due to Zuo Xingzhou's disappearance, Ning Ji can no longer stay out of the matter. Just like Ni Po came to his door last night, both of them may be involved in the chaos.

In this context, Qu Longjun's daily training has become a big deal. Even though it is impossible for her to become a real master, combined with her dance foundation and coordination ability, she can imitate some of the "masters" Characteristics, but not impossible.

In the two days after expressing his feelings, Ning Ji intensified his training in the yard with Qu Longjun's hand, eye, body and footwork as a "master".This kind of training has actually happened before, but now it is more intimate, and the occasional physical contact is a particularly novel and sweet step for the two of them.

The training in the morning stopped at lunch time. Ning Ji bought some food outside and Qu Longjun did some processing in the kitchen. After eating, he took a shower, put on loose clothes and tied his hair in a ponytail. At this time Her body was fresh and fragrant, and Ning Ji was beside her, stretching her limbs. The sound of wind and rain, the rising and falling of the boat and the water seemed quiet.

"... Ni Po's incident happened, and we pretended to be good. Tonight, I'm afraid someone from the Ministry of Punishment will come to test... Zuo Wenxuan can't be too clear about this matter. If it's Tie Tianying who comes here, It's an old dog, so it's a bit troublesome. I'm afraid you can't hide it from him. But it's not impossible..."

"Are you going to fight him right there?"

"That's not necessary. I'm a high-ranking official now. If I openly quarrel with each other in public, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? A group of arresters swarm me. Without firearms, it would be difficult for me to escape..."

"...What do Zuo Wenxuan and the others think?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask... Tie Tianying and Liang Zi of the Huaxia Army are known to everyone in the southwest. He... cooperated with the Manichaeans to kill Liu Dabiao of Ba Dao Village. This is the deepest mortal enemy. Well, later on, the prime minister of the Qin family was demoted, and several arrests were made to add insult to injury. Not only did Tie Tianying beat him in the street...Mr. Ning punched him, but he even forced the eldest lady to jump into the river..."

"...During that time, Mr. Ning's original plan was to evacuate from the capital and return to Jiangning for peace. However, due to the affairs of Prime Minister Qin and the First Lady, Mr. Ning discovered that the Dog Emperor remembered him and was also keeping an eye on him. He fell in love with his family, so he started planning a rebellion from that time... Tie Tianying was very arrogant at that time. Many old people in Zhuji wanted to skin him, like Chen Tuozi, Grandpa Chen, who he led a few years ago I talked to many children and told them about the regicide and rebellion. The most regrettable thing was that I could not find Tie Tianying, kill his whole family, and beat his mother..."

"I've heard the name of Master Chen, too," said Qu Longjun, who was standing aside.

"Hehe." Ning Ji smiled, "He is very good when he is old, but when he was young, he was a bad person. He often said that even a bad person like him could cure someone like Tie Tianying. Later, he and several seniors It is said that at that time, Prime Minister Qin fell, Zhuji was troubled internally and externally, and was targeted by villains from all walks of life. If Mr. Ning...Ning hadn't decided to kill the emperor, they would have had no choice but to risk their lives and take advantage of Tie Tianying..."

He paused for a moment, sat under the eaves, and his eyes became slightly gloomy: "In addition, there was the matter of throwing excrement on Prime Minister Qin, and later there was the matter of running to the southwest to assassinate... A bunch of dogs can't escape their involvement... These bastards from the Zuo family clearly received favors from Grandpa Chen when they were in Xiaocanghe and Southwest, and they knew about the festivals between the two parties. They have been back in Fujian for so long, but they haven't found a way to be like him... They can't support them. A familiar white-eyed wolf, a traitor, this is betrayal of the country and seeking glory..."

For the whole world, the most amazing feat of the Chinese Army is always the sword in the Jinluan Palace. Within the Chinese Army, whenever the heroes gather together, they will naturally talk about it.During that period, despite the emperor's rebellious behavior, the people who had the most confrontations with the middle and lower-level personnel of Zhuji were still the various people of the Ministry of Punishment. Most of these people died in the battle that lasted for more than ten years, but now there are none left. It’s not the southwest high-level officials who stomp their feet and shake the whole world.

If he had not rebelled, it would have been very difficult for Zhuji to escape intact. According to Ning Yi's behavior, everyone had already discussed many action plans in private, including Chen Tuozi, who had already prepared to leave Zhuji. Prepare to destroy the Iron Sky Eagle family and then fight the crime alone.In addition, there were plans to deal with the other arrests of the Criminal Department, to exchange blood for the other party, and even to attack and kill Tong Guan, Wang Fu and others. At that time, the hot-blooded faction Zhu Biao planned to go north to assassinate the Qi family after taking care of the affairs of the capital, and even prepared to pull Go with Yue Fei.

Everyone later discussed this matter in Xiaocang River and Southwest, and they were full of enthusiasm and generosity. They had experienced the bloody battle in Xia Village at that time, and had long since broken away from the ordinary employment relationship with Ning Yi. Later, they met the Qin family. As a result, as a Green Forester, I just feel that even if I risk my life, I can't let Ning Yi's family make the same mistake again.Fortunately, what Ning Yi did later was something even more outrageous, so that everyone in Zhuji did not get into unnecessary anger.

Ning Ji grew up listening to this kind of discussion and had a deep hatred for Tie Tianying.After arriving in Fuzhou, although he treated the Zuo family as old friends, he was never polite when mentioning their stance on this matter. At this time, he muttered things like "dogs" and "bastards" After cursing for a long time, I wanted to call the military law team from the southwest to clean up all these bitches and their mother.Qu Longjun looked at his angry profile from the side, but he laughed, moved his face close to him, and clicked on his face.

The meat is soft.

Ning Ji flattened his face.

"……what are you doing?"

"cute."

"Hmph. Let's talk about business."

His legs swayed and he kept a straight face for a while, before Ning Ji sighed and looked seriously: "Anyway... I'm going to kill Tie Tianying this time, and the possibility of falling out with them is not small. Zuo Wenxuan won't betray me." , but there will probably be some unpleasantness, so we have to be prepared first... Of course, when I kill Iron Sky Eagle, I will cover my face, or at worst I will run away after the killing..."

He rambled on about calculations and thought for a while. Seeing Qu Longjun's relaxed and natural expression, he curled his lips and said, "Don't think it's interesting. Even if you pretend to be a master, it's easier said than done..."

"Little Dragon..."

"Ok?"

"I think, how about you really teach me martial arts?"

"……what?"

He turned his head and saw a solemn and serious look on Qu Longjun's face.

"I know that I am not a material for martial arts training, and maybe I am too old, but now half of the world is at war. I can follow you wherever you go, but I don't want to be a burden all the time. Even if I practice some simple martial arts, it's fine. When you can use swords and guns, you won't be so panicked when things happen..."

Her words were soft and gentle. Ning Ji looked at her, his eyes darkened, and he was quiet for a moment.

"Practicing martial arts... is not that simple... you are a girl..."

"But when I was in the southwest, I also saw female soldiers, and there were also women practicing martial arts in other places, like what they call Miss Yan..."

"Practing martial arts requires one's mind..." Ning Ji said, and his voice became even lower when he said the next sentence: "And Miss Yan is all about showing off her skills and embroidering her legs..."

"Xiaolong." Qu Longjun said, "When I wasn't with you, I would also run outside, paint my face black, dress up as a beggar, and often carry a knife in my arms. In this world, women are being abused I have been fighting for more than ten years. Now that I am with you, I will not be afraid if I want to kill people. Even if I am not as good as Aunt Gu and the others from the Huaxia Army, Xiaolong, don’t underestimate me."

"I'm not looking down on you, but martial arts training really doesn't mean that." Ning Ji whispered, looking at the rain curtain in front of him for a while, then he considered it and spoke seriously, "Martial arts training can be taught, but it is difficult to become a Master, when you didn't practice martial arts, you would run away if something happened. But if you practiced martial arts, sometimes you would have to fight with someone, maybe two or three times, but the chance of survival is really no better than if you keep running. "

After a pause: "Besides, you are a girl and your strength is small. When fighting, you must be more decisive and fight for your life than ordinary people. In the southwest, you have seen women who can fight. But before these women could fight or kill, you would never imagine what they had gone through. They had suffered and suffered to the point where they really couldn’t live anymore. They no longer regarded themselves as human beings, and that’s why they had that kind of mentality.”

"...Is this a good thing?" Ning Ji looked ahead quietly in the rain and continued, "And having this kind of character is also the first step. They have to fight with people dozens of times and dozens of times. Only by surviving for the first time can you become a real ruthless character, Xiao... Xiaoqu, I am a military doctor, and I grew up in the Chinese Army. You don't know, the children in the Chinese Army, as long as they have some talent, will learn Martial arts, one is to strengthen the body, but when it reaches a certain level, it will be used on the battlefield... When I was a child, my master had many brothers and sisters, but no matter whether he was powerful or talented at the time, he would be able to do it in a year Some people died...the few who survived became masters, but not many people want their family members...to become such masters..."

Ning Ji turned to look at her.

"If you really enter the so-called martial arts arena, learn martial arts, and use swords and guns to solve problems, you will never imagine the evil of some enemies. And to become a master, you have to fight dozens of times. A person will be careless once... ...I was lucky enough to kill many times and survive secretly. Now that I have survived, I have less things to worry about. But if you learn martial arts and face those evil people... I will be even more scared than I am now. …”

Qu Longjun listened to his words and looked at him, her crystal eyes swaying slightly. After a moment, she came over and gently hugged Ning Ji.

Ning Ji also hugged her like fragile porcelain.

The two hugged each other under the eaves. After a while, Qu Longjun retracted her legs from the terrace. She knelt down in front of Ning Ji, looked at him with her eyes, bit her lip, and finally pulled the three sticks out. Fingers raised.

"Xiaolong, I swear, I will be obedient. If I encounter anything, I will definitely run away. But I don't want to just learn to lie. Even if I am tired, I also want to learn real martial arts. I am also afraid. I am afraid that one day someone will escape. When there is no way to escape..."

"Will not."

Ning Ji shouted.

But Qu Longjun's kneeling posture did not move.

Ning Ji looked to one side and was silent for a long time.

He said in a muffled voice: "...I'll think about it."

Outside the eaves, the rain kept falling.

Sometimes, the evil of some enemies is beyond your imagination...

……

Near the academy, at Wenqing Tea House, the rain falling from the eaves is like a curtain, covering the space filled with the fragrance of tea.

"...The banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year was very effective. Facts have proved that the openness of the favor and His Majesty's consideration were quite convincing to the middle and upper-class families in Fujian...Wang Zhan and Geng were already together at that time He expressed his feelings and privately revealed some of the rats' plans in this situation. The reaction of Chen Shuangran and other gangsters just proves that they are impatient and ready to jump over the wall..."

Li Pin turned the tea spoon in his hand while talking to the Confucian scholar opposite him.

"...Officials were assassinated, the chief police officer was killed, and you couldn't catch them. Can you say that the other party is desperate?"

"Assassination is a small way and cannot determine the overall situation." "But you can't even stop assassination..."

"In today's world, it is difficult for anyone to stop someone from jumping over the wall."

“Southwest is okay.”

"But what is the truth about Southwest? Brother Lu, it lies in his unity and control of the army... To put it more deeply, it lies in his innovation. You see, now His Majesty has also released the imperial army..."

"How was the effect of the last time we were released for disaster relief? The things that were done are not over yet...Brother Li, since ancient times, soldiers have fought like combs, and bandits have fought like grates. Don't you know why?"

"Brother Lu, frankly speaking, and I will also tell you frankly, after this sentence, I need to add the sentence that an official's fault is like being shaved off. Why? Because the army has not been able to do fine work since ancient times. As long as it is released, it will definitely harm the people, maim them, and harm them." The people, and even officials, as long as they are a little careless, they will do more harm than good to the people. The last time they went behind the Wei army to provide disaster relief, they were indeed taken advantage of, but Brother Lu, you are a sensible person, and you also know that, then The bad guys took advantage of the situation, and when the army was released, it could actually provide disaster relief without harming the people. It was just a mistake to incite the bad guys and respond incorrectly."

"...Hmph, what if the response is wrong this time? Have you caught the bad guy?"

"What we are talking about here is the general idea of ​​​​the whole thing. His Majesty wants to reorganize the army and also want to organize the officials. After the last incident, the Military Academy held classes every day to prepare for these things. The Forbidden Army is entering Fuzhou Later, there was a corruption problem recently, and His Majesty dismissed two commanders. This time, His Majesty ordered the Imperial Guard to carry out investigations in the city, cooperating with young officials from the Military Academy and the imperial court. Don't disturb the people too much...Brother Lu, with your knowledge, can't you see it? This is the real innovation, this is the hope of the future world..."

"..."

"You are a great Confucian from Fujian, with countless disciples and disciples under you. You are also a sensible person. There is no point in making small fights. New ways of living and new ways of playing can open up a new game that has never been seen since ancient times! As long as these troops and officials are here Cooperation in disaster relief or service can form a routine, and not disturbing the people and harming the people can form a continuation. Your Majesty has truly lit a new fire. If it fails once, there will be two times. If it fails twice, there will be three times. But in the final analysis, as long as it is done, the next step will be If we break out of Fujian, we will be unfavorable. Your Majesty has done this and is about to do it, so I would like to invite Brother Lu to come and see and supervise this matter...Brother Lu, the court has never given up on you. We always hope that your disciples can come over and achieve great things together."

"..."

"..."

Li Pin looked at the old Confucian named Lu Lun opposite.

Lu Lun drank the tea in his hand, the expression on his face changed. After a while, he threw the tea bowl on the table with a bang.

"Innocent!"

"Brother Lu, please tell me."

"Li Pin, you have never understood why I, Lu Lun, have opinions about you, so I will make it clearer today! Because you have been doing these petty things from the beginning to the end! An army and a city are under the control of His Majesty. Is it really a big deal that they don’t disturb the people? What is Your Majesty? Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven! The Son of Heaven is the lord of the Nine-Five-Year Plan and is a dragon. As the saying goes, the flying dragon is in the sky. The emperor must be high above and control his subordinates with majesty in order to rule the Nine Provinces and all directions. …”

"..."

"And what about you? You deceive His Majesty when he is young. You always encourage him to do childish things, show off in front of others, and do favors to the common people. You even went so far as to personally go to dozens of small families and small chambers of commerce three days ago for a little benefit. All the things you have done for En have been done, and you are still complacent. Yes, you have bewitched and trained His Majesty to become a suitable county magistrate, or at most a government prince! Some people who see him will think that His Majesty is wise, but Li Pin, The world is so big that there are many people who cannot see His Majesty. Your Majesty does not need to make these people feel close to you, and there is no way to get close to them. He wants to make the people of the world feel majestic!"

"..."

"I think the people in the southwest are really powerful. They have deceived people and made you all believe in those bottom-level reforms. They even think that Confucianism needs to be reformed. What do you know about the greatness of Confucianism? It rules the world. The king is a tyrant, as long as the punishment is unpredictable, the power is unpredictable, so why does your majesty need to be in front of everything and do it personally——"

"..."

"Also, when the army is dispatched and there is conflict with the people, you couldn't handle it well last time. Do you really think it can be settled this time? The army is dispatched, but for the sake of face, you have to not disturb the people. If you don't disturb the people, how can you disturb you? What to do? Li Pin, you dare to call me here boldly. You don’t know how many ways there are to make you lose your head and make you lose your temper. You are so confident, you..."

When the other party reached a certain point in his scolding, Li Pin waited for a moment before speaking: "I think that since many things are new, they have to be experienced over and over before they can be concluded."

"Yes, I would like to see how you experience it. I think you haven't read Confucianism thoroughly. You have no idea how evil people can be -"

The conversation in the room went on for a while. Lu Lun tidied up his clothes and left. Li Pin sent the other party downstairs. When he returned to the tea room, he picked up a pen and paper and recorded clearly some of the information in the previous conversation.While he was writing, the servants began to come in to rearrange the room and prepare for the next banquet. Luo Shouwei came nearby and read what he had written for a while.

"The person surnamed Lu seems to be very dissatisfied and cannot be won over. Do you want to report it to the court..."

"..." Li Pin paused for a moment and thought for a moment, "Those who can directly scold him may just be dissatisfied. Those who are really determined to do something to them will not even scold them... In the final analysis, it still depends on the situation. Will the imperial court's military training go smoothly..."

"Then what he said is right. The enemy is hidden and we are clear. There are always many ways to cause chaos."

"As long as there is no uncontrollable chaos, even if we win...according to the experience in the southwest, if the military attachés at the Military Academy are useful in restraining and speaking to the soldiers, such an army will be very capable on the battlefield... …We are no longer afraid of the Jurchens.”

There was a drizzle, and then there was a new round of notes in the teahouse.

In the courtyard of Huaiyunfang, Qu Longjun put up a posture, and as Ning Ji began to practice boxing, the teaching this time was more severe than the previous times.

At the same moment, Yue Yun was running on the streets of Houguan County...

Traces of the Forbidden Army spread throughout the city. City patrol officers began to take to the streets and beat gongs, reminding everyone that they need to bring documents proving their identity when going out tomorrow. Because of the rampant bandits, large-scale screening has begun in the city. Check, and also remind everyone not to panic, and simple things to complain to military officials if you encounter problems...

Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger has begun to show results. Green forest people have left large-scale at several city gates, but the soldiers who came here did not stop them.

The real work and test will officially begin tomorrow morning.

This is the imperial court's preset plan.

However, in the evening, an accident quietly happened in Houguan County, where Zhong Ergui died unjustly two months ago...

In Wenqing Tea House, when Luo Shouwei received the report from outside and came to inform him, the sky outside was already a little dark. When Li Pin heard what happened, he hesitated slightly for a moment, and his whole face did not show any appropriate expression. expression.

After Yue Yinping reported to Zhou Pei at the eldest princess's mansion, she rushed out of the gate on horseback and turned around the street in front. Seeing a large crowd in front of her, she got off the horse and ran straight forward with her feet, wearing a The figure of the coir raincoat left a whistling mark on the evening street.

Not long ago, what happened in Houguan County was very simple.

Shortly after noon, due to the large-scale dispatch of the Forbidden Army, many snakes and rats in the city were alarmed and made various strange movements. Yue Yun got the information that two months ago, there might be a frame-up in Houguan County. One of Zhong Ergui's masterminds, a green forest man named Zhang Li, nicknamed "Man Mouse", got wind that he might run away.

Yue Yun immediately went to Houguan County and found Zhang Li on the street who was about to leave.

The opponent galloped wildly, and Yue Yun chased after him. When he passed a street corner, he saw a few horses panicking on the side of the road. He also grabbed one and chased forward.

After rushing through half the street, screams appeared on the street, followed by horses falling to the ground and people rolling in the mud. Yue Yun knocked down several stalls on the street and smashed them against the corners of the street.

He was not injured. After getting up, he looked back and was stunned for a moment.Then, he rushed towards a figure on the road whose limbs were twisted after being hit by a horse.

It was a little girl who suddenly appeared in front of the galloping horse. She was about five or six years old. In the rain that continued to fall, she twitched in the muddy water on the road. A touch of bright red gradually seeped out from the corners of her mouth, turning into The only touch of red on the gray street.

Yue Yun's eyes widened in front of the other party...

……

A gray-black rain curtain enveloped the city, and the ancient city was about to light up.

Unnoticed by no one, above a house not far from Yue Yun, Chen Shuangran, Mr. Jin, Chen Yan, Deng Nian and others were watching the development of the situation on the long street. Some looked proud, others looked confused. Indifferently, the dark-skinned girl covered her mouth and giggled.

In the front of the street is Zhang Li galloping on his horse; in the corner behind is a "dealer" dragging several horses; and in the alley in the middle of the street is Monk Tunyun who abducted a girl from a nearby house not long ago. .The three people who had been arranged were silently leaving everyone's sight at this moment.

"Cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck..."

Chen Shuangran smiled happily, but her words were so low that only a few people around her could hear her.

"A gentleman can be bullied and straight... but he can be filthy... Yue Yun is Yue Fei's only child, driving him crazy is a much better thing than killing him... I really want to see it , that General Yue, who has always been upright and selfless, what can he do next...hahaha...hahahaha..."

This time the frame-up was successful again.

Sometimes, the evil of some enemies is beyond your imagination...
