Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After Ximen Qing thanked Zhou Tong again, he chatted with him by the river.

Zhou Tong looked at the sky to the west, then turned to Ximen Qing and asked, "Mr. Ximen Qing, I heard Brother Qiao Yun say that you have a great career in Yanggu County, Shandong. A talent like Tang Long. May I ask, what is the ambition of a high-ranking official? What is the purpose of recruiting troops?"

Ximen Qing thought to himself, Master Zhou, I can't tell you the whole story!Let me, a senior official, tell you some reasons for being tall and upright!

Ximen Qing said to Zhou Tong: "Hero Zhou, the purpose of recruiting talents and training local soldiers is really to 'protect the environment and the people, and resist foreign humiliation'."

Zhou Tong asked: "Grand officials, why do you say 'protect the environment and the people, and resist foreign humiliation'?"

Ximenqing told Zhou Tong that bandits in Liangshanbo in the south of Yanggu County were rampant and harassing the place, how he trained the soldiers of the township, united with the powerful, and jointly defended against the robbers' looting, so that Yanggu County was safe.As for resisting foreign humiliation, he analyzed the general situation of the world by himself, and was deeply worried that one day the chaos in the Liao and Jin Dynasties in the north would bring disaster to the Song Dynasty.I study hard and practice hard so that I can serve the country if something happens in the future.

After hearing Ximen Qing's words, Zhou Tong sighed and said, "It's still a senior official who is young and promising! I admire you! Senior official, I have a proposal. I see that the senior official and Brother Jiao Ting are both skilled in martial arts. I would like to invite senior officials to live in Yuejiazhuang for a while to teach my disciples the martial arts. In return, I will teach the senior officials all my life's riding and archery skills. If there are any in the future In my spare time, the old man will go with the high official to help the high official train the children of Yanggu County. High official Ximen, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Ximen Qing kept his face calm, and his heart blossomed with joy.Hahaha~ Zhou Tong’s proposal is good!It turns out that he is not good at guns, sticks, fists, and kicks, so he can't teach Yue Fei and the others well. He needs the help of my senior officials, Ximen!This is right in my arms.After my senior officials have taught Yue Fei and others, isn't it equivalent to half of their masters?If you want to recruit them in the future, it will be twice the result with half the effort!

Ximen Qingsurong replied: "How dare I refuse to obey the invitation of Hero Zhou?"

Chapter 279 Scientific Archery

After discussing with Zhou Tong, Ximen Qing returned home with him.Zhou Tong announced to Yue Fei and other teenagers that he had invited Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting to teach them martial arts.

All the teenagers applauded in unison, and stared at Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting expectantly.

Ximen Qing knew that it was Yue Fei and the others who wanted to know what skills he and Jiao Ting could teach them.

Ximen Qing smiled and asked Jiao Ting to show everyone his boxing skills in the yard.

When Yue Fei and Wang Gui saw each other, they couldn't wait to try some tricks with Jiao Ting and learn Jiao Ting's real Kung Fu.

Jiao Ting waved his hand and asked the boys to go up together.Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, and Xu Qing heard this, and rushed forward together.

It's a pity that Wang Gui and the others are just stronger peasant boys who haven't learned martial arts at this time, and they are not generals who will command tens of thousands of troops in the future. How can they be Jiao Ting's opponents?

Even Li Kui, who was like an iron bull, couldn't help Jiao Ting's three punches and two legs. Wang Gui and others were knocked to the ground before they could get close to Jiao Ting's body.

Even Yue Fei, who was born with supernatural power, was still young at this time, and he was worse than Li Kui. He was thrown to the ground by Jiao Ting after only one encounter.

Fortunately, when Jiao Ting fought with these youngsters, he had spare hands, the youngsters were only covered in ashes and were not injured.

Jiao Ting made his debut with this move, and immediately conquered all the teenagers in the yard.Yue Fei took the lead to worship, and sincerely expressed his willingness to learn from Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting.

Ximen Qing sighed in his heart, Yue Fei, Yue Fei, you little brothers are not good at martial arts!If it weren't for me, Ximen officials, if you enlist in the army in the future, will you really have a chance to live until the day you become a general?

Ximenqing didn't know at this time that Zhou Tong was not the only master in Yue Fei's history.

Yue Fei first followed Zhou Tong to learn the art of riding and shooting, and got his true inheritance.Later, after Zhou Tong's death, Yue Fei's grandfather Yao Daweng invited the famous gunman Chen Guang to teach him martial arts for his beloved grandson.

After Yue Fei learned Chen Guang's spear skills, he claimed to be invincible in a county.Coupled with Zhou Tong's archery skills, Yue Fei is the best of the two, and only then has he embarked on his career as a fierce general.

While Ximen Qing sighed secretly in his heart, Zhou Tong who saw Jiao Ting's ability was overjoyed.

Since the death of his only son in battle, Zhou Tong has no children, and now he regards Yue Fei as his own son.

Zhou Tong saw that Yue Fei was a prodigy in martial arts, and only hated himself for not teaching him various skills.Now that they can find two good masters for Yue Fei and the others, why doesn't Zhou Tong like it?

As the saying goes, "people are refreshed when they meet happy events", the excited old Zhou Tong seemed to have recovered from his illness, and he talked about literature and martial arts with Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting in high spirits, and it took less than half an hour.

While everyone was talking happily, Yue Fei's father, Yue He, pushed the door and walked in.It turned out that he listened to Yue Fan's report in Yuejiazhuang, saying that a distinguished guest came from Yanggu County, Shandong Province, and went to Hedong Village to visit Master Zhou Tong.Yue He thought that Zhou Tong was alone at home, and there was only a small private courtyard, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to receive distinguished guests, so he rushed over in person and invited Zhou Tong and the guests to visit Yuejiazhuang.

Ximen Qing saw that Yue He's appearance was somewhat similar to Yue Fei's, but he was more generous and kind, without Yue Fei's heroic and sturdy spirit.Knowing that Yue Fei's temperament must be different from his father's, maybe it was passed down from Yue Fei's mother.

Thinking of Yue Fei's grandfather inviting Zhou Tong, a local hero, to teach him martial arts, and his mother-in-law engraving inspirational words on Yue Fei's back, Ximen Qing confirmed his thoughts even more.

By the way, Xiao Yuefei doesn't have tattoos on his back yet!Do I want to act first and trick this little Yue Fei into getting a tattoo on his back? The tattoos of "serving the country with all my loyalty" or "serving the country with all my loyalty" are not good. Song Huizong and his sons are useless, what is there to do to protect their court? of?

If you want to stab, you should stab a "loyalty to Ximen"!

……

Ximenqing was thinking wildly in his mind, with the idea of ​​defrauding Yue Fei and others to be loyal, followed Zhou Tong and Yue He out of Hedong Village, and returned to Yuejiazhuang by the same route.

Although Yuejiazhuang was not a large manor, it also slaughtered chickens and sheep, and prepared a sumptuous banquet to clean up the dust for Ximen Qing and others.Ximen Qing and everyone in Tangyin County enjoyed themselves and had a wonderful night.

The next day, Yao Daweng, who got the news from Yao Zheng, invited everyone to Yao's Village for a whole day of feasting.Ximen Qing's handsome demeanor and broad knowledge completely convinced Yao Daweng's family.

In this way, Ximenqing temporarily stayed in Yuejiazhuang, and together with Jiao Ting taught Yue Fei and others the martial arts of guns, sticks and fists.At the same time, Ximen Qing, Brother Qiao Yun, and Jiao Ting also learn riding and archery from Zhou Tong every day.

Under Zhou Tong's careful guidance, in just a few days, all three of them improved their archery skills.

Brother Qiao Yun had already learned archery when he was in Yanggu County, and once shot "Golden Eye Biao" Shi En off his horse, causing him to be trampled to death by a wild horse.At this time, under the guidance of the archery master Zhou Tong, Brother Qiao Yun fully demonstrated his talent in learning archery and made rapid progress.

According to Zhou Tong, among his disciples, Brother Qiao Yun's archery skills have surpassed those of Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others, second only to Yue Fei.In time, Qiao Yun's archery accuracy will not be inferior to Yue Fei's, but his strength is not as good as Yue Fei's by nature, and it is difficult to match Yue Fei's shooting distance.

Jiao Ting is the opposite of Brother Qiao Yun, his accuracy in archery is not very good, after practice, he can barely hit the target.But Jiao Ting was very powerful, and he drew a strong bow, and the arrows he shot often pierced the target.This kind of ability is also quite lethal on the battlefield.

Ximen Qing's performance is not very stable, sometimes he can hit the target with one arrow, and sometimes he misses the target.Let the onlookers figure it out.

What's even more strange is that after Zhou Tong taught Ximen Qing how to aim the arrow, the influence of wind and light, etc., he often shot a few arrows that missed the target.

At this time, Ximen Qing would measure the number of steps taken by his arrow and the angle at which the arrow hit the ground, then squat on the ground and write and draw in the soil with a knife.

After some calculations, Ximen Qing would get up and shoot a few more arrows, often at this time all the arrows could hit the target.

Next, Ximen Qing will observe, measure and calculate again until every arrow hits the red heart of the target.

Yue Fei and others didn't understand Ximen Qing's move.After Zhou Tong had seen Ximen Qing's strokes on the ground, he was amazed that the official Ximen was knowledgeable and very capable.

Although Zhou Tong couldn't understand what Ximen Qing wrote, he knew that Ximen Qing was using a kind of unfathomable arithmetic to calculate the angle and strength of shooting arrows, so as to achieve the goal of hitting every arrow.

Although Ximen Qing seems to be making slow progress with this method now, once he goes through enough shooting practice, he will definitely master a more advanced archery technique, surpassing Yue Fei and Brother Qiao Yun who can only rely on experience.

Zhou Tong told Yue Fei and the others that this senior official from Ximen was a rare genius, and asked Yue Fei and the others to ask Ximen Qing for advice in the future.

Chapter 2 Eighty: Kong San Borrows a Sheep

Not to mention Zhou Tong, even those ministers who came from the top imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty would not be able to understand the scriptures that Ximenqing wrote on the ground.Because Ximen Qing was using the mathematical knowledge from his previous life to calculate the parabola of the bow and arrow.

What Zhou Tong taught was experience, and Ximen Qing wanted to turn these experiences into his own knowledge.In this way, even if Zhou Tong can't follow him back to Yanggu County, he can still train a group of guards with superb archery skills after he goes back.

At this time, Ximen Qing, in the minds of Yue Fei and other young people, has successfully created an image of a mysterious and tall man.

After living in Yuejiazhuang for a few days, Ximenqing's subordinates bought more than 20 sets of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" sold by Ximenqing himself from Tangyin County.Ximenqing personally gave these books to Yue Fei and his companions.Youngsters like Wang Gui and Zhang Xian have learned to write with Zhou, so they can read and write. It is not a big problem to read this set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Ximen Qing.

Ximenqing mainly wants to use Guan Yu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to brainwash the young Yue Fei, and while he is still underage, gradually change his thinking from the hazy "serving the country with loyalty" to "righteousness and thin sky".

From now on, you people will regard me as a senior official from Ximen as Liu Bei. No matter where I go, you will travel thousands of miles to join me, hahaha~
