Hot and spicy.

Under the table, Chi Heng secretly reached out to hold Zhong Xu's wrist.Zhong Xu flicked it coldly, but did not shake it off, and drank a bowl of wine angrily.Chi Heng scratched Zhong Xu's palm, Zhong Xu sullenly ignored it.

With sharp eyes, Liang Qianlie leaned over and jokingly said, "Xuzi, your eyes are going to pop out, why is this? Where is the book for your brother Zuo?"

"It's already on the table, where did Deputy Captain Zuo go?"

"He." Liang Qianlie took a sip of his wine and smiled, "I'm busy."

Hearing the thief's answer, Zhong Xu rolled his eyes and didn't ask any more questions.

Chi Heng thought that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and this eunuch is a very obstructive person, the kind who can't relieve worries and only adds to chaos, neither Liang Qianlie nor Zuo Zhao will let him dominate in Yizhou.Liang Qianlie has a strong temper, and Zuo Zhao has a more negative personality, so there must be some actions in private, so there is no need to worry too much.

Liang Qianlie held the wine and gave everyone another round.

Even after eating and drinking, Chi Heng's stomach swelled, as if two dragons were swallowing fire, and he ran out in a short time.

There were not many people in the huge Star Observation Tower, so Chi Heng wandered around but couldn't find the hut, and saw a big locust tree in the courtyard with lush branches and leaves, which seemed to be a shelter.He wandered over, looked around, opened his clothes and began to pee.Going down the river, the swollen place gradually shrinks, and the stomach feels comfortable. When the breeze blows, I feel refreshed and very comfortable.

Chi Heng raised his head and played a minor tune.

At this moment, I heard a light and crisp sound: "Scared!"

Chi Heng's hands trembled.Where did the human voice come from, or was it a woman's voice?He hurriedly put the little bird in, straightened his clothes, and took a few steps back in embarrassment.A woman turned out from the locust tree, and she was born weak, with a slender waist and a green dress, half hidden and half exposed.

Chi Heng was embarrassed and wanted to apologize.

The woman wiped the corners of her eyes, and instead bowed gracefully: "Please forgive me for my clumsy eyesight, which disturbed the military master." As she spoke, she choked up, and tears fell like a rain of stars.

Why did you cry so badly when you saw yourself?

Chi Heng was at a loss, and had no words to persuade.Fortunately, the woman quickly stopped, apologized several times, and left with her head down.

Chi Heng was disturbed by this cry, he was soft-hearted, he couldn't bear to see people cry, the woman was dressed lightly, but her face was very delicate and simple, she was not like a prostitute, she should be a singer in the Star Tower to support her family.It's a pity that in the troubled times, the people are in dire straits, how can they have spare time and money to listen to music?

After a few random thoughts, he walked back to the restaurant.

The Star Observation Building is extremely complicated, and there is only one dark light far away. Chi Heng touched several rooms, and when he saw that the rooms were all locked, he suddenly went astray.Chi Heng turned his head and followed the voices of people to find it. Who would have thought that the trees outside the building were too dense, covering the moonlight, and the closer to the noise, the darker the building would be.

Chi Heng was five minutes drunk, his feet were weak, and he groped forward against the wall.

Just as he was trembling, a faint voice sounded: "Master Jun, you are drunk, do you want my servant to help you?"

Human or ghost?

Chi Heng was startled, and there was an erratic shadow standing in front of a dark light in front of him, and he was almost about to strike it with one hand.With cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, he vaguely felt that the voice was similar, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be the woman in green clothes who was crying just now.

Chi Heng shook his head.

But the woman came over slowly, lowered her head and directly hugged him.

The smell of fat was tangy, Chi Heng's feet went limp, he leaned against the wall and couldn't move, he waved his hands again and again: "Girl, girl, no need."

The woman did not let go, and said in a low voice: "The name of my family is Xiaolian, and I am not a man of the world. If you don't dislike it, Mr. Jun... Tonight is a good day, why not..." Intermittently, it seemed that she was too ashamed, but her face was so low It's like being buried in Chi Heng's chest.

She had a slender waist and a soft body, leaning on Chi Heng's chest, Chi Heng was so startled that he almost fell to the ground.

A Jiling was half awake, Chi Heng pushed him casually: "No need."

Where could she bear his strength, Xiao Lian let out an exclamation and fell backwards. Seeing that her head was about to hit the wall, Chi Heng stepped forward vigorously, grabbed her waist and pulled her over.Xiao Lian's feet made a circle on the ground and landed firmly in Chi Heng's arms.

This shock was certain, Xiao Lian's face turned pale, she grabbed Chi Heng's hand and refused to let go.

Pushing did not dare to push anymore, fearing that another push would kill another person, Chi Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Lian, get up quickly, I have to go."

After hearing this, Xiao Lian burst into tears again, sobbing and hugging Chi Heng's waist with his backhand, but he didn't let go.

This move captured Chi Heng.

He looked at the girl in his arms at a loss, thinking that she was really a girl made of water. The tears came as soon as she said it. How can someone who has no injustice or hatred be so wronged?

He looked around, seeing nothing but black lights.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, three steps and two steps rushing over as fast.Stranger?Chi Heng hurriedly supported Xiao Lian's shoulders, and gently pushed her out of his arms.

Xiao Lian cried out loudly.

"Bastard! How dare you bully my sister!" A voice came out of nowhere.

call!

A heavy object flew over, and Chi Heng tilted his head.The thing hit the window straight and burst out with a bang.

Chi Heng was still in shock.

There was an angry child standing in front of him, about ten years old, his tattered clothes couldn't cover his whole body, his calf was exposed in ashes, his face was bulging, he crossed his hips and glared fiercely at Chi Heng.

17, [-]

【Seventeen】

I saw an angry child standing in front of him, about ten or so years old, with ragged clothes that could not cover his body, his calf was exposed in ashes, his face was bulging, very arrogant, he stared at Chi viciously with his hips akimbo Balance.

"Bah! Bastard!" The child bawled loudly, and after scolding, he rushed over in a daze - bumped Chi Heng with his head.

Who the fuck?Who did what?Chi Heng wanted to stop him amusedly.

tom—

Whoops, Chi Heng fell down in response, and sat on the ground in a daze, unexpectedly being knocked down by a child. Is it because his legs are weak from drinking too much?Holding his forehead, he defended innocently, "I didn't bully you!"

"Liar! I saw it all!" The child pointed at his nose angrily.

Chi Heng was speechless, he touched his ribs, there was a severe throbbing pain, the pain was oozing even when he took a breath.It won't be broken, right? This kid's head is made of iron, right?

"My sister's clothes are all torn, you pay for it!" The child shouted loudly.

Where, where is there?This is the most naked blood spitting!Chi Heng was scolded so much that he almost choked to death, his eyes shifted to Miss Xiao Lian, only to see her clutching her chest - presumably she was afraid of being misunderstood by his younger brother when he saw the scene that was too revealing.Chi Heng hurriedly begged for help and motioned for her to explain quickly.

Who would have thought that Miss Xiao Lian just bowed her head and didn't speak.

The child still clamored, "Pay! You pay! If you don't pay, don't even think about leaving!"

pay?extortionate?Chi Heng's heart fell with a slap, but instead he smiled and flicked his sleeves openly: "I have no money, and I didn't bully your sister. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

The child looks at his sister.

Xiao Lian burst out laughing, holding a handkerchief to cover her heart: "Xiao Que, this military master drank too much, my sister is showing him the way."

The little boy named Xiao Que was indignant and muttered: "I saw it, he pushed you just now."

At first it was a push, but in the end it was obviously just a support. Besides, why did the dark child see it?Chi Heng touched his ribs with one hand, supported the wall with the other and stood up slowly, his legs were still trembling from being slightly drunk.

Xiao Que looked at Chi Heng who was unable to do what he wanted, then looked at his sister, and said reluctantly: "Why don't you bully me, my candied haws are gone again."

Xiao Lian's face froze.

Chi Heng came to his senses, judging by Xiao Lian's clothes and appearance, he should be often treated lightly by others, and would give Xiao Que snacks when he was seen.Xiao Que is young and innocent, how can she understand the hard work of her sister, and she knows that there are delicious things.Can't help but look at Xiao Lian sympathetically, pity suddenly, took out the only broken silver from his waist, and stuffed it into Xiao Que's hand: "Take it to buy supper."

Xiao Que beamed with joy, and happily gave the broken silver to her sister.

Xiao Lian twisted one out of the broken silver and handed it back to him.

Seeing her younger brother happily jumping out, Xiao Lian thanked her in a low voice, and a strand of long hair fell down on her forehead. Chi Heng always felt that she shed some tears again, and felt uncomfortable.Xiao Lian wanted to help him, so he immediately said righteously: "I can go, thank you!"

Xiao Lian didn't force her, and walked slowly behind him.

After walking around, my ribs didn't hurt so much.After walking a long way, Xiao Lian disappeared when he turned around.Not seeing this trouble, he still missed it in his heart.

After thinking about it, I still don't feel at ease. It's always weird for a weak woman to cry and throw herself into her arms.

He returned the same way.There are not many guests in the Star Observation Building, and there is an attic that sounds very lively.Chi Heng walked gently to the attic, and heard the melodious sound of pipa and guqin, and a woman singing softly, just like the spring equinox and the dawn of the spring, the song of the oriole singing, very beautiful.

The woman stopped, and the hall was full of applause, and one person said: "This song is very wonderful. I don't know what the prefect thinks?"

Chi Heng was startled, the voice was clearly Zuo Zhao, why is he here?

Chi Heng entered sideways, the room was bright and dim with dark red lights.He hid behind a dark screen, and through some rattan chairs and cabinets, it was very concealed.

The attic is big, there are only six people sitting on the table, the prefect is in the middle, Zuo Zhao is on one side, and there are four men accompanying him.There are also four people outside the table playing the piano, playing the zither and singing, all of them are women, with pink and apricot white colors.Cuiyi Xiaolian is outside, holding her pipa with her head down.

The prefect twirled his beard and nodded reservedly: "Not bad."

Zuo Zhao waved at Xiao Lian, and chanted with a smile: "If you ask me, singing well is not as good as playing well. The most wonderful pipa in Yizhou is "Drunk in the Frost Forest" by Miss Xiao Lian, a legacy of Qingqiu. , the sound is moving."

Xiao Lian Zhiqu stepped forward, her eyes cut Qiushui: "The captain praised it absurdly, the mountain and wild ditty, what a shame, the eunuch will not give up, please ask Rong Nu's family to play a song for the eunuch, I am laughing at you."

After finishing speaking, there was a pause, a pair of jade hands lightly clasped together and rubbed slowly, the pipa sounded, the sound was cold, cold and autumn.

All listened attentively.

The prefect listened more and more attentively, and occasionally played a song on Xiao Lian's face, as if appreciating it.Xiao Lian was also full of affection, her eyes were black and white, she turned her eyes slightly, and the corner of her mouth was smiling, completely different from the misery just now.

After the pipa, there was another round of toasts.

So and so, after a few songs, the prefect said that everything would be troublesome the next day, and he needed to go back as soon as possible, and said that today's feast was too extravagant, and it should not be repeated in the future.

Zuo Zhao repeatedly said yes, and said with a smile: "What the prefect taught is, Zuo Zhao will take it to heart."

Tell the four women to go down, and Xiao Lian is the last one.

Zuo Zhao said casually again: "Miss Xiaolian's house is just across the road from the Yamen's house. If the eunuch is used to listening to the wild songs of Yizhou, he can call them at any time. It won't be as grand as it is today."

The prefect nodded.

Xiao Lian smiled, turned around and bowed gracefully: "Xiao Lian is very honored."

After explaining a few words to Zuo Zhao, the prefect and the four accompanying men got up and left.People went to the empty space of the pavilion, Zuo Zhao rested his arms on his right hand, looked at the table and meditated quietly, the smile on his face gradually became cold, and became solemn and dignified.

The quieter he became, the more uneasy he became. Chi Heng waited awkwardly for a long time, but when Zuo Zhao didn't move, he turned around and came out.

Hearing the sound, Zuo Zhao turned his head in surprise, pointed to the chair, and let out a long sigh of relief, "Chi Heng? Sit down, the feast for the eunuch is really tiring. It's really tiring. Do you drink alcohol? Why are you here?"

"Just now on the road, I met Miss Xiao Lian, so I came in."

"Xiao Lian? I just said how did she go out for so long? Are you old acquaintances?"

"No, it's the first time I've seen you today." Chi Heng sat down next to him, frowned, and murmured for a long time: "Is Xiao Lian a brothel girl?"

Zuo Zhao was stunned: "No, the restaurant sells singing."

"Then why, how did you let her and the prefect..." Chi Heng bit his lips, as if he couldn't choose the right words, "She is not a brothel girl, you are like this, her innocence..."

No wonder Xiao Lian cried so sadly just now, could it be because she was forced to serve the prefect?

Although the words were incoherent, Zuo Zhao understood what was going on in a blink of an eye, narrowed his eyes, and smiled: "You can rest assured, I didn't force girls into prostitution, and I told them all about it beforehand."

Chi Heng could not refute: "She is a good woman!"

Zuo Zhao rolled his hand around the rim of the wine glass, and said slowly: "Of course she is a good girl, and the ones just now were all good girls. So, I'm afraid you don't understand. Let me ask you, if you fall into the enemy line , at this moment, a person sweeps away thousands of troops to rescue you, and the other three leaders, who do you think will come?"

Not understanding why Zuo Zhao suddenly changed the subject, Chi Heng thought for a while: "Cen Pojing."

"Why? Is it because Po Jing has a good relationship with you? Are Qu Yang and Red-eyed Tiger alienated from you?"

Chi Heng shook his head: "No, they all came to rescue me, but in different ways. Qu Yang would choose to sneak attack, while Red-Eyed Tiger would choose to follow the rules and lead his team to attack the enemy. And Po Jing is the one who will sweep the enemy with his own power. Thousands of soldiers."

Zuo Zhao smiled: "So, it's not you who decides them. It's they who choose the outcome themselves, you just wait."

Confused, Chi Heng nodded.

"Let me ask you, is Xiao Lian the best at playing the pipa? Forget it, I will answer this for you. Her skill can only be regarded as above-average. Let me put it this way, is she beautiful? Is Yi Is it the most beautiful in the state?"

It can only be regarded as above-average in appearance, if you want to make a country and a city, I'm afraid you have to go back and do it all over again, Chi Heng shook his head.

"That's right, she is much more beautiful than her, and you can find many in brothels. These four women are not the best in appearance, nor are they the most aura. But why did I choose these four women? It was not my choice It’s them, it’s them who let me choose.”

Chi Heng's eyes widened, did Xiao Lian do it voluntarily?

Zuo Zhaowen smiled: "They never said they were voluntary, nor did they say they were not voluntary. They are not so poor that they can't eat enough, and they can marry into ordinary families. But their eyes tell me that this is not what they want, they need A more challenging life, better clothing and better food, or more extraordinary life, in short, I will never be willing to settle down with the situation. So, I chose them."

Chi Heng was speechless: "...women from a brothel, wouldn't it be more suitable?"

"You don't understand. What decides is not her position, but her heart. What I want is not..." Zuo Zhao stopped abruptly, "In short, you can rest assured that I didn't force anyone. "

Even though he struggled, Chi Heng was willing to trust Zuo Zhao.

Zuo Zhao changed the subject and said: "Chi Heng, your sword skills are not the fastest, not the most sophisticated, and you have never told us to pledge your allegiance to the dynasty. But why are Liang Qianlie and I optimistic about you? ? Because your actions tell us that you are worthy of our cultivation. It is not only our choice, but also your own decision, although you are still ignorant."

Chi Heng's heart was hit hard.

"Is it because my sword is ruthless?" Chi Heng asked anxiously, he always cared about the viciousness of his moves.

"What are you thinking!" Zuo Zhao couldn't help laughing, "The biggest headache for Qian Lie and me is that you are too soft-hearted, and you are worried that there will be troubles in this attack. Fortunately, you have no mercy when facing the enemy."

Chi Heng is compassionate, but he is not soft-hearted.

【XVIII】

When they returned to the banquet, Zhong Xu, Qu Yang and Red Eyed Tiger had all been brought down.

Cen Pojing was half lying on the edge of the table, half slipping the legs of the table, pulling Liang Qianlie's sleeves and talking nonsense: "Chi Heng, you have to be careful! Don't always talk about it, don't think that everything is wrong. I don’t know what’s on your mind, but with just your eyes, you can see it at a glance, er, go to the bottom of your heart. Let’s talk about clock sequence, it’s quite hypocritical and difficult to serve, but you can do things with one foot on two boats Can you do it? If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you will be caught in a latrine!"

These words sound disgusting, Chi Heng broke out in a cold sweat.

Liang Qianlie was so happy that he almost got under the table, put his legs on the empty chair, and called Zuo Zhao: "Let's listen to Zuo Zhao, these wolf cubs are going to make me laugh, it's more fun than we used to! Get out of here!" ? Ask Lao Tzu to say, find a few people some other day, tie them into zongzi and flatten them like ghosts, and throw them from anywhere, what are you doing so hard!"

Zuo Zhao took a glance: "Can you tie up everyone in the world?"

Liang Qianlie smiled and dragged him to his seat: "Can you fuck all the hearts of the world? Look at your brows are almost bald! I told you not to stay with that old bastard, and tell him that my life will be shortened by ten years And there are those few who sing ditties, don't leave two of them for us to listen to."

"You are so beautiful! I want to hear myself knocking on a broken gong!"

Although there is no strings and bamboos to add to the fun, it is rare to take a break in life. The two of you joked and argued with me, and before they knew it, they were both drunk.

The next day, Liang Qianlie adjusted the deployment of the army and separated the black wolf from the Yizhou garrison.The ordinary soldiers in Yizhou were still training on the spot, while a hundred black wolves were moved to the four large courtyards next to the Yamen Mansion and settled down, one in each team, neatly organized.Liang Qianlie specifically instructed that all people are not allowed to leave without special reasons, and military training is the top priority on weekdays, and the rest are waiting for orders.

The weather was so hot that my mouth felt hot when I spoke.Chi Heng thought, let the soldiers train after sunset, and let everyone rest on their own without suffering from the scorching sun.

He wanted to find Zhong Xu, but when he left the courtyard, he heard shouts.

It was the courtyard where Qu Yang was. He pushed the door open curiously and went in, only to see the whole courtyard as chilling as the north wind swept by. Twenty soldiers in gray uniform held scimitars and gripped the handles tightly, all of them held their heads high. , the calf was stretched straight, and even the breathing seemed to be held in the stomach.

Standing at the front, Qu Yang faced the crowd with stern eyes, and said to a soldier, "Are you made of tofu? If you kick it down, what can you do! Tell me, what can you do!"

The soldier replied loudly: "Kill!"

"Now that's like this, who can you kill?" Qu Yang sternly kicked the ground, a knife spun around a few times, and stopped at the soldier's feet, "Pick it up and come at me!"

The voice is decisive, without delay.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then slowly picked up the knife, his eyes turned cold, as calm as an assassin in the dark.Holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, he straightened his waist, took two steps back, walked lightly and steadily like a cat, and walked around Qu Yang in a circle, looking for the most suitable angle for stabbing.At a distance of one foot in front of Qu Yang's left, he stood still.The knife changed its position in the hand, holding the knife behind the back, with the handle down and the tip up, with a cold light.

The soldier took a deep breath.

Under the sun, the breath was so hot that no one dared to vent their breath.

The soldier suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, swung the scimitar, as fast as lightning, and a ray of light flew across Qu Yang's chest, from his chest to his waist.

Chi Heng was shocked, and was about to exhale when Qu Yang kicked out with one leg at the moment the light flashed.

thump—

The soldier fell to the ground in response, holding his knees with his hands, in pain, sweating like rain, but he didn't groan, he kept clenching his teeth, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

"You guys, did you see clearly just now?" Qu Yang said coldly.

"Yes!" Qiqi's reply echoed through the clouds.

"How could he fall!"

silence.

Qu Yang repeated sharply: "Answer me, why did he fall down!"

Finally a soldier's voice resounded: "He is too slow."

"anything else?"

"..."

"Slow down, it's already a big taboo in the art of war. What's even more taboo is that you can guess what he will do and where he will stab before he even makes a move! There are a hundred ways to avoid it, and there are a thousand opportunities Fight back, if I have a knife in my hand, can he still live?"

"No!" Uniformly.

The defeated soldiers on the ground have stood up, picked up their knives, and returned silently.

Qu Yang pointed at him and said: "You, practice the move that assassinated me just now three hundred times, until you practice it, even if others guess it, you will never be able to avoid it. The only weapon in the world is that it will not break quickly. Do you hear me?"

"Yes!" The soldier who had just been seriously injured replied loudly.

Next, no one complained, no one neglected, everyone's sword skills were different, but the same were fierce, swift, and treacherous.Under the sun, every soldier was tanned and sweated until his lips were dry, and no one stopped.Even in places that Qu Yang couldn't see, there was absolutely no ambiguity.

Qu Xingchang walked in the middle, or shouted loudly, or frowned, or corrected one by one, without stopping for a moment.

Standing under the tree, Chi Heng felt like his scalp was scorching, while Qu Yang was so immersed in the training that he completely forgot the scorching sun above his head.

It wasn't until the sun was setting that Qu Yang stood on a high place and clapped his hands. Hearing the sound, everyone suddenly put away their knives and ran to him in unison, forming two rows.

"Today, that's it!" Qu Yang's eyes swept over, coldly, like his scimitar.

Chi Heng shivered, the cold air rose from the soles of his feet, and the heat all over his body disappeared.

After receiving the order, the black wolf dispersed suddenly.

In a word, only Chi Heng and Qu Yang were left in the whole yard. Qu Yang turned around slowly, without a frosty expression on his face: "I've been watching all afternoon, don't you need to train soldiers?"

"It's too hot." Chi Heng replied honestly, and handed him a bowl of sour plum juice.

Qu Yang was not polite, took it and drank it down.

"You are very good, if I try again, I don't know if I can beat you." Chi Heng said earnestly, such provocative words sounded very comfortable.

"I'm sorry. You and I have a different way."

"Didn't you learn from Captain Liang?"

"Yes. In the capital, I studied under a very famous assassin, but I only learned superficially." Qu Yang said simply, "After that, I learned it all by myself. There is no fixed method for swords, especially for assassination."

"It's amazing." Chi Heng sighed.

Qu Yang didn't answer, but asked instead, "However, don't you train soldiers because of the heat? Can you guarantee that every battle will be sunny and sunny? Can you win if you can guarantee that the weather is sunny? Yours Soldiers can't afford to suffer so much, they will regret it when the time comes, but it's too late!"

Chi Heng blushed: "I was wrong, I'm going back to practice now!"

After all, he ran as fast as oil on the soles of his feet.

Qu Yang's hand holding the bowl stopped in the air, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he licked his lips and said to himself: "Didn't you realize it long ago?"

The sun was hanging on the treetops, and Chi Heng looked at his twenty uniformed gray-clothed soldiers. Chi Heng recalled the surprise attack that day, and thought that if the soldiers at Beiguan in Yuanzhou were stronger and counterattacked faster, he and the soldiers would be better off. They may not be able to get away so quickly.

Qu Yang trains every soldier hard because he is suitable for one-on-one assassination duels.As for the soldiers in his hands, without their fierceness and insidiousness, how can they stand?

Although the sword has no fixed method, there are formations.

Chi Heng divided the 20 people into groups of five.He picked one of the groups as a demonstration, and he stood in the middle: "If the five of you besieged me alone, how would you hit me?"

After contemplating for a moment, a soldier said, "At the same time, stab you with a knife."

Chi Heng nodded: "That's right, but it's impossible for you to form a circle every time, and it's impossible for me to let you assassinate me without any resistance. What we have to learn today is that under cooperation, the least loss and the greatest loss will be achieved." The quickest way: Ghost Killing Knife."

Ghost Killing Knife is a multiplayer formation.First, A stabs at the enemy, and after stabbing, quickly withdraws and moves to B, the enemy will definitely rush to kill, B crosses the knife, but it is empty, at this time, Bing Ding who is on the opposite side of A and B quickly gathers and swings the knife.At this time, the enemy's back is empty, and he will undoubtedly die.

After Chi Heng demonstrated it once, he asked everyone to practice.The soldiers are used to fighting alone, and have never joined forces with others. It is inevitable that A will run too far, B will hide too far, C will not be able to catch up, and D will not know where he is going. , There are those who scold, and those who make up the knife.

Chi Heng didn't say a word, just watched the crowd play quietly.

It was getting dark, and all the soldiers were hungry, but seeing him standing upright with a face like iron, they gradually stopped laughing and practiced in a decent manner.Although he was still stumbling and jerky, he didn't dare to be vague at all.

This practice went on until it was dark, and when they got to the cafeteria, they saw other people waiting boredly.

"You can eat first tomorrow." On the small table, Chi Heng apologized very much.

Cen Pojing paused with his chopsticks, picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "How can it? As long as it's still a stove, we can't let you eat it cold."

The red-eyed tiger hulala drank a big bowl of porridge: "Damn, porridge, pickles and a full head, fade out. I'm so hungry, I can eat everything tomorrow before practicing, one by one will die!" "

Cen Pojing whispered into Chi Heng's ear and said: "Listen to his nonsense, he leads the soldiers to get up in the middle of the night to punish them, who can compare with others."

They all suffocated and wanted to overwhelm their companions.Chi Heng smiled, wiped his mouth after eating and was about to leave.

Cen Pojing said: "Chi Heng, do you want to find Xu Zi? The captain specifically explained: Let's not go to the Yamen Mansion. The prefect is here, and there are many disputes." After getting to know each other well, Cen Pojing didn't treat Zhong Xu as an outsider.

Chi Heng felt lost for a moment, and sat back.

[Nineteen] Under June.Check out the flag

Liang Qianlie delegated power to them, but Cen Pojing and the others felt like ducks in water. After the first battle in Yuanzhou, they felt that the battlefield was ruthless, and the only way to protect themselves was to have a sharp knife.He practiced harder than before, and after eating, he took advantage of the moonlight to continue to let the black wolves practice swords.

Chi Heng pondered on his own what kind of formation to cooperate in order to achieve absolute victory in the battlefield.

He read very few military books on the art of war, and Liang Qianlie didn't have time to explain it to him in detail, so he could only comprehend it by himself.The only thing that can be asked at the moment is Zhong Xu, but the prefect is there, Zuo Zhao and Zhong Xu are all around him waiting for orders, and there is no one in sight for a day.Unknowingly, Chi Heng walked outside the walls of the yamen mansion. The walls were dense, and there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo vocal music inside.

The gate is closed tightly, and the stone lion at the gate is majestic.

Chi Heng raised his foot to leave, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. Looking carefully, the stone lion on the left was stepping on a hydrangea ball, holding a ball in its mouth, and carrying a person on its back.

Looking forward, it was a child, sleeping soundly on his stomach.

Chi Heng stepped forward and patted: "Children, wake up, why are you sleeping here? What about adults, why don't you go home?"

The child rubbed his eyes, first he was overjoyed, and after seeing Chi Heng clearly, his face collapsed: "You are... a bad brother. Is my sister out yet?" With a gray face, puffy cheeks, The innocent eyes turned and turned, the look was familiar, it was the child Xiao Que who met that night.

Chi Heng pinched his cheek: "Come down quickly, sister is inside?"

Xiao Que nodded, touched the exposed belly, and said in a strong nasal voice: "My sister also said to bring delicious food, I have been hungry."

Meeting is eating, besides eating, Chi Heng tapped his garlic-like nose amusedly: "Your sister will take a while, brother will take you to eat, tell me, what do you want to eat? Candied haws?"

Xiao Que grinned and revealed two missing teeth: "Stupid, the candied haws are long gone, I want to eat steamed buns, I'm so hungry."

Chi Heng held him by the hand, under the moonlight, it was as cool as blue.

"Xiao Que, how old are you and what's your last name?"

Xiao Que happily picked up a stone, and wrote a word crookedly on the ground: "My surname is Xin. My sister is Xin Lian, and my name is Xin Que. What's your brother's surname?"

Xin Que, lack of heart?Chi Heng smiled, bent down, and wrote: Chi Heng.

"Late...?" Xiao Xinque tilted his head.

"My brother's name is Chi Heng, and Xiao Que will call me Big Brother from now on." Chi Heng smiled, and Xiao Xin Que laughed too, with an innocent smile, his stomach gurgled twice, breaking the tranquility.

When we got to the street, we complained endlessly, every house closed their doors, and the hawkers closed their stalls early.In the middle of the night, the only place with lights on is Qing|lou|yan|yan|willow.Chi Heng walked around twice and didn't see a single food seller. Xin Que was too hungry to walk, so he had no choice but to break into an inn and wake up Xiao Er who was dozing off.

"This little brother, stay in the shop?"

"Is there food for sale?"

Xiaoer shook his head again and again: "You went to the wrong place, this is where you live, it's so late, there's nothing to sell in the market, right?"

"Anything is fine, even leftovers from dinner, we don't pick." Chi Heng said while touching his body, it was broken, and he didn't bring any money with him.

Xiao Er waved his hands: "There is not enough to eat, how can there be leftovers?"

Chi Heng talked and talked, dragging his feet, Xiaoer was so entangled, he muttered: "Where is this kid's sister? Let's go, let's see each other. I will take you to the kitchen to see if there is one." Yes, if not there is no." It turned out that Xiao Lian often sang in inns and restaurants, and Xiao Er was familiar with her.

Fortunately, there was still half a bowl of cold rice left in the empty kitchen, and half a handful of green vegetables in the cabinet, Xiao Er pointed to the cold stove and said, "Just these things, you can figure it out, I have to go back. After eating quietly, don't let others see."

Chi Heng was very grateful, he stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, poured a few drops of oil on the pot after it was hot, sprinkled the vegetables, fried them, and poured over the rice, making it very hot.

Half burnt rice, green vegetables, Xin Que ate everything.

He pursed his lips and said, "Brother, it's delicious!"

"Isn't sister cooking for you?"

"Yes. In the past, it would be for me and Dad. Sometimes I could eat it until midnight. The day before yesterday, my sister and I moved to the Yamen Mansion. She came back late every day, so I had nothing to eat."

"What about Father? He doesn't care about you?"

Xin Que frowned: "I don't care, he only asked my sister for money. My sister said that the people in the yamen mansion gave a lot of money, and we won't have to be beaten or scolded by him anymore. Brother, I live in the courtyard over there , carry me back."

After three questions and two questions, Chi Heng basically understood that Xin Lian and Xin Que were adopted by others since they were young, and Xin Lian had to hand over all the singing money to this nominal father, and life was not going well.After Zuo Zhao fell in love with Xin Lian, he exchanged a sum of money for Xin Lian's freedom, and he placed him in a small courtyard near the Yamen Mansion, not far from the place where the black wolves were trained.

The yard is very dilapidated, with two tile-roofed houses and no furniture. The bed is a few hard boards with a quilt that cannot be broken any more.Xin Que was so sleepy that his eyelids twitched, and he fell asleep next to the wooden bed.Chi Heng felt sad, and said, "Business girls don't know the hatred of subjugation, and they still sing flowers across the river." Who would have guessed that the pipa singer who embellished the singing and dancing to promote peace is so desolate behind her back.

The kitchen was empty, not even a water tank, just a small bucket.

There is an old deserted well in the yard.

Chi Heng licked his dry mouth, he really didn't know how the siblings got through this.Fortunately, they just arrived, and Xin Lian probably didn't have time to tidy up.

After thinking about it, he quietly left the room.

"Who?" A sharp voice rang out.

"Miss Xiao Lian, it's me." Chi Heng said hastily, and walked quickly into the yard.

Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and after seeing that it was Chi Heng, she was even more joyful, and went forward to pay respects: "So it's the military master, why did you come here?"

Chi Heng will talk about how he met Xin Que, how he went to eat, and how he came here under Xiao Que's guidance.Xiao Lian hurriedly exasperated again: "Just now I was delayed for a long time at the Yamen Mansion, and I couldn't see Xiao Que after I came out, but I was frightened. I searched around, and it was almost... Thank you, Mr. Jun."

Chi Heng hurriedly apologized.

Chi Heng is not like the drunk that day, and Xiao Lian is not like the demon that day, both of them are dressed normally, Xiao Lian said a lot of thank you, it was getting late, Chi Heng did not continue the greetings, so he left.

Xiao Lian said sincerely: "Is Mr. Jun's surname Chi? Vice Captain Zuo and Xiao Lian mentioned Mr. Jun and said that you are training in the east of the mansion. It is not far away. If Mr. Jun is fine, come and see him often." , I can’t get water from this well, and I can’t even make a cup of tea for the military master, I’m ashamed and ashamed. When Xiao Lian first arrived here, there was no one around who could help, and even Xiao Que was like a wild child.”

One sentence hit Chi Heng's weakness: "Miss Xiao Lian, don't worry, it won't take long, it will be fine."

The next day, Chi Heng was still training in the morning. At noon, under the scorching sun, he gathered the black wolves together to discuss the ghost-killing knife formation.
