General Ren's mansion is said to be a mansion, but it is actually a small house, but the front yard has a lot of space, and there are many targets and models for martial arts training.

Yang Nian obediently stood behind Li Sheng, waiting for the only servant in the house to invite the general.

"You generals, don't you care much about this home decoration?" Yang Nian looked around.There was an earthy smell on the bare flat ground, only a towering ancient locust tree alone supported a piece of green shade, a stone table and a few wooden chairs under the ancient locust tree were very unsuitable.

"Some people may not come back to this capital city for a few days in their whole life. It's normal to be deserted." Li Sheng replied, "It is said that Mrs. Ren still likes to take care of flowers and plants, but after she passed away, no one took care of them, and the garden was full of flowers. When there was no grass left, the general cut down the whole yard."

Yang Nian sighed, feeling very sorry.

"Be careful," Li Sheng pushed Yang Nian aside, grabbed a wooden sword back and grabbed it.

The owner of the wooden sword is a small boy with a small pull on one side of his hair, wearing a short shirt, but his appearance is too delicate.

"Xiao Xiao, Yang Nian has no kung fu background, if you poke him like this, he will have to lie down for several days." Li Sheng was a little angry.

The little boy turned his head awkwardly, "I thought brother Sheng's friends had to be heroes, who knew they were stupid bears."

"Xiao Xiao! This is the young master of Xiangye's family, why are you so rude!" General Ren's voice was like a bell, shaking Yang Nian's eardrums with pain.

Yang Nian hurriedly shook his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, Qianjin has such martial arts attainments at such a young age, the general's swordsmanship must be superior." He was not angry at the girl's rudeness, he was angry What's more, Li Sheng degraded himself so low when he came up, he could lie down for a few days with just one poke, did he really think he was an idiot?

"Ashamed, ashamed," Ren Mian called Ren Xiaoxiao over, "thank you Mr. Yang."

Ren Xiaoxiao glared at Yang Nian, made a face, and got behind Ren Mian.

"This child! There is no tutor at all." Ren Mian was very angry, but he couldn't do it on the spot. "The king of the county has sent someone to explain it, but Mr. Yang, I can't accept you as a student for the time being."

Yang Nian nodded, remembering what Li Sheng had reminded him earlier, "I understand that martial arts practitioners must have a good character. General Ren must have tested my character before he can accept me as a disciple with peace of mind. Discredit the teacher."

"That's what it means," Ren Mian was taken aback. He thought that the children of the aristocratic family were very naughty, and Yang Nian, a noble person like Yang Nian, should be more serious. Unexpectedly, he was a modest gentleman who understood etiquette, "But I I will still teach you some basic skills for self-defense."

Yang Nian smiled, bent his knees, and made a big gift, "It's an honor to be taught some basic skills by General Ren, and I don't dare to covet too much."

Ren Mian hurriedly bowed his hands, expressing that he could not afford such a big gift, and sent the servant to serve tea for everyone.

"The basic skill is the horse stance." Yang Nian complained as he stood in the shade with his legs bent. There was an incense burner on the stone table, sticking incense.

Ren Xiaoxiao on the side did the same thing, but she was obviously very relaxed, "I want you to flatter me."

Yang Nian squinted at her, "Little girl, your mouth is really unforgiving, and your tongue will grow longer and longer in the future."

Ren Xiaoxiao tilted her head and stuck out her tongue at Yang Nian.

Yang Nian smiled, luckily he wasn't the only one practicing hard here, otherwise it would be very boring, he looked at Li Sheng who was running all over the yard, and thought to himself that the general's teaching method is really good for self-defense, this Is it practicing escape?

"How...how did you know that I was a girl?" Ren Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice. After thinking for a long time, she finally said it.

Yang Nian came back to his senses, "Ah, there is no boy who looks as fresh as you."

Ren Xiaoxiao's face blushed unconsciously, but her mouth was still stubborn, "I think you're quite juicy too."

"I compliment you, you have to say thank you sincerely, it's not good to talk back." Yang Nian smiled slightly.

"Humph."

"Hey, when will Li Sheng run away?"

Ren Xiaoxiao raised her chin, "Did you see those two sticks of incense on the table? The short one is extinguished, we can rest, and the long one is extinguished, brother Cheng can rest."

Yang Nian nodded, remembering what Li Sheng said just now to belittle him, and shouted, "Li Sheng, have you ever lost a battle?"

Li Sheng ran past them and replied, "Beat."

Yang Nian shouted again, "Then do you have a little lover in the frontier?"

"No," Li Sheng circled around.

"Then have you visited brothels?"

Ren Xiaoxiao's face turned red with a brush.

After a while, Li Sheng came around again, "Yes."

Yang Nian shut up, feeling aggrieved, he had never been there before.

After a while, Li Sheng stopped, clutching his ribs, walked to the stone table, and sat down along the wooden chair.

Ren Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm out of breath." Yang Nian tried his best not to laugh, and explained that he just heard that talking might make him out of breath while running, but he didn't expect it to be really useful.

Li Sheng knew that Yang Nian did it on purpose, but he didn't know how he provoked him. Seeing that Yang Nian's stick of incense was almost burnt out, he stretched out a leg and made a trip, causing Yang Nian to fall to the ground.

Ren Xiaoxiao's joy also broke the merits.

Finally, the three of them sat on the wooden chairs and ate the walnut cake brought from the palace together.

"When are you going to serve in the imperial army?" Yang Nian picked out the melon seeds and ate them one by one.

"In two more days, wait for the official document to come down."

"The people in the Forbidden Army are different from those outside your customs. They are all from rich and powerful families. Relying on their good martial arts skills, they are all conceited and difficult to manage." Yang Nian poured a cup of tea for Ren Xiaoxiao, "You Don't choke if you're a bit hungry."

"Why is this so delicious!" Ren Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

"I know, but are they more expensive than me, the county king?"

"Don't make yourself a fool." Yang Nian knew that Li Sheng didn't care about etiquette, and he didn't need to be hypocritical, "It's so expensive, I've made you the president a long time ago, just look at it, as soon as you step in I have to give you a blow at the door."

Li Sheng thought that as long as soldiers can abide by their obligations, whether to obey him or not is the next best thing, and it's better to keep a low profile.

He remembered Yang Nian's words, but felt that he was worrying too much. He adjusted the long tassels on the military uniform, clutched the transfer document, and walked into the duty room of the Imperial Guard under his jurisdiction, only to find that there was no one there. .

Li Sheng moved his foot back, closed his eyes, stepped his foot in again, and opened his eyes again.

No one is empty.

Li Sheng didn't know why, if Yang Nian's neck was in front of his eyes, he would have cut it off without hesitation.
