Chapter 21 Section VI

In the seventh year of Emperor Xi, October. Following the defeat of Chun State by Li State, the power of King Qin's coalition forces temporarily weakened.However, the young Ao Zhirun was unable to take charge of government affairs, so Liang Qiusong, Marquis of Huangchang, obtained all the powers of Bi Zhi in the name of "supervising the country".Hua Ye, a famous general of the Chun Kingdom and known as the "Ugly Tiger", led 30,000 Fenghu Jingqi troops to plow the fields in Dangyang Valley, forming a confrontation with the 50,000 Red Brigade and 10,000 Thunder Riders stationed in the imperial capital.Liang Qiusong sent envoys to the imperial capital with jade swords and axes to worship the emperor. In the eyes of the princes, this was a symbol of determination to die and serve the king.The princes are looking forward to a new decisive battle in their respective palaces to expel the southern barbarians who have occupied the imperial capital.

This year Wanzhou's fishing industry had a good harvest. A fisherman in Xiyinghai said that he accidentally strayed into the deep sea. He once saw the wind and birds chirping the sky, dancing in nine circles, and then flew to the northwest.Fengniao is the legendary emperor of flying birds, and the northwest direction it flies to is the direction of Chun Kingdom.There are rumors from the ruling and opposition parties saying that to restore the prosperity of the Eastern Continent Emperor, we still have to rely on the mighty Chun Kingdom.Someone came up to the emperor, saying that Liang Qiusong should be added to set an example of loyal ministers for the princes.Both the emperor and Chunguo kept silent about these news.

Another year is about to pass. Nanhuai City. On the highest "Aiqing Building" in the Eastern Palace, Lu Guichen leaned out half of his body while holding the railing, looking at the birds circling in the sky. The setting sun is half-set on the Phoenix Pond, and the water is glistening, as if sprinkled with a layer of broken gold. The whole Nanhuai City is hazy in the misty sunset, and the faint sound of knocking on the cloud plate on the high platform in the distance can be heard . Nanhuai sunset is a scenic spot in Wanzhou, and the gentry like to sing it.But Lu Guichen doesn't like it that much, the houses here are always so high, and there are endless pavilions and pavilions everywhere, blocking the distant vegetation and the floating clouds in the sky, he especially doesn't like it Walking under the towering palace wall, I feel that the wall is pressing heavily on my chest, making my breathing involuntarily heavy.

He misses the grassland very much, and misses the feeling of being able to see the end of the world at a glance when standing on horseback. The sky there is boundless and blue, and the big eagle with white wingtips often flies proudly and alone. It has been the fourth month since he arrived in Nanhuai.The Nine Kings returned to Beilu, but Tie Yan and Tie Ye couldn't follow him into the palace, so he was the only one left here.He knows that this kind of life is just beginning, but there is no deadline for it to end. "Hehe, I finally found Young Master Chen, and I guessed that Young Master is watching Que'er again in Aiqing Building," a voice with a smile sounded behind him.

Lu Guichen turned around and saw Fang Shan's slender face, with two short eyebrows pressing down a pair of small smiling eyes. "Hi Fang Duwei," Lu Guichen bowed slightly, "This place is open and you can see far away. I was playing the flute just now, and I saw a wild goose. That's a wild goose, not a bird." "Heh, geese are also sparrows. The young master is making Fang Shan happy." Lu Guichen shook his head: "The geese and sparrows are different. Our barbarian shepherds said that sparrows fly a hundred feet and eat bugs, geese fly a thousand feet and eat fish and shrimp, and eagles fly thousands of miles and eat cattle and sheep. Geese are different from sparrows, they can fly very far, across the sea. Maybe they came from the north.”

"North?" Fang Shan smiled, "Young Master Chen is homesick. In fact, what's so good about Beilu? I've heard people say that it's nothing but grass. It's because Fang Shan has been negligent in the past few days. I'll find it in the East Palace tomorrow." A few clever servants took Young Master Chen for a walk. In Nanhuai City, there are many interesting things, fighting dogs and crickets, guessing a leaf card, the most interesting thing is sitting in a wine shop and listening to people talking about novels, Shao Chen Doesn’t the Lord like heroes? They’re all about heroes.”

Lu Guichen still shook his head: "Beilu is not all grass, there are cattle and sheep, there are big eagles, there are mirror-like lakes, there are herds of yaks and wild horses... everyone I know is there, there is me Mom and Dad, there are Dahesa and Suma... Fang Duwei, if your closest relatives can't hear about you, what's the point of being a hero?" He turned his head slightly, Fang Shan met his gaze, and then turned away.Fang Shan thought that this child was too serious, he was obviously just a child, and he wanted to care about adults. "Young Master Chen, the dining room is urgent. After dinner, Master Lu will give you and Young Master Yu an evening class. Today, you have to take the poetry exam last time. Do you still remember, Young Master Chen?"

"I……" Fang Shan waved his hand: "Master Lu is also a dead-headed person. Young Master Chen will lead Beilu in the future. With a wave of hundreds of thousands of troops on the grassland, he will destroy whoever he says is destroyed. Those who refuse to accept will naturally have swords and guns to serve them." What's the use of learning characters? I'm afraid I won't be able to find someone with a good writing style to write a letter of war? But this matter is ordered by the king, and I have to explain it to the majesty. Young master Chen, I think we should go to catch dinner first. Young Master Yu is waiting for you, if you don't come, you dare not open the banquet."

The moment before Lu Guichen was pulled down the stairs by him, he turned to look at the goose.It flew into the half-round sunset, as if melted by the warm color.He touched his arm and felt that it was getting colder. "A sage, in the face of all difficulties, keeps his heart and never changes his mind, does not change his will based on praise or criticism, does not feel sad or happy because of gains and losses, does not look up to success or failure, this is impossible for ordinary people. The world is big, the way is precious, and the saint It is reasonable to say that it is holy.” Lu Fuzi's cadenced voice echoed in the study, echoing loudly.

In the study room of the East Palace, there are two desks for each. The east head is the young prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the west head is the barbarian prince.The two wore the same plain brocade robes and sat opposite each other. Lu Guichen held the brush clumsily and lowered his gaze. Bailiyu, who was opposite him, glanced at his movement with one hand resting on his cheek, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on his face. . "Between life and death, on the eve of existence and death, this is an unstoppable time in life. A saint is not frightened, not afraid, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, but has his own hills and mountains in his chest. Stepping into the abyss is like walking on a broad road, with a sword in front of him. On the side, I also walk beyond it."

"Hey! Hey!" Lu Guichen was taken aback, raised his head, and saw Bailiyu put his hands around his mouth, and lowered his voice to shout at him. "Hello!" Bailiyu picked up the scroll on his desk and shook it, "Have you finished your answer?" "I..." Lu Guichen hesitated for a moment, looking down at his test paper. "As a teacher, you should teach with faith; as an apprentice, you should learn with sincerity." In the distance, Master Lu's sonorous and forceful voice suddenly changed into a loud shout, "Why did I ask you to ask questions in private? There is no need to ask again. Answered!" He took out Xingmu from his sleeve, hit his desk hard, strode forward and pulled the test papers from the two students with aggressive eyes.Bailiyu was so frightened that he shrank his head into the stand-up collar of his robe, only showing his flickering eyes. When Master Lu turned around, he stuck out his tongue very quickly and made a grimace.Lu Fuzi strode back to his desk and sat down, unfolding the test paper with a calm demeanor.The corners of his mouth were slightly turned down, he stroked a few strands of his beard and glanced at the first paper, his tense expression eased a bit. "It's quite caring, especially the sentence 'Wild wild goose wanders south, never misses its partner for thousands of miles, and believes in it', there is a bit of the legacy of the sages, young master Yu has been studying hard these few days, and he has lived up to the expectations of the king. This paper , can be titled as a middle school." He shook open the lower paper again, and just glanced at it, his thin beard trembled violently, and his two old narrowed eyes were wide open, almost bursting into flames. "Hey!" Bailiyu looked at the astonishing performance of the master before the violent act, and shouted to Lu Guichen with a suppressed voice, "Didn't you write a single word?" "This... this, this is so deceiving! How can I have any dignity as a teacher?" Master Lu trembled for a while, and finally shouted loudly, grabbed the paper and threw it out with all his strength. Throwing a piece of thin paper not far away, it stretched out in mid-air and fell to the ground. Bailiyu poked his head out of curiosity to see, wondering what could make the old-fashioned and polite master so angry. It was a painting sketched sparsely with ink. At first, it seemed to be a few irregular ink dots, which were painted as the backs of a flock of sheep in the distance. It is a flock of geese, slanting across the sky under the setting sun.Bailiyu stuck out his tongue, which could only be regarded as a scribble. Master Lu sat back heavily in the chair, straightened his expression, looked straight ahead, and did not even glance at Lu Guichen: "I have little talent and little learning, the Lord Meng entrusted me to teach the writing of the two young masters, and I know that I am ashamed. Young Master Chen has repeatedly refused to listen to the teachings and acted on his own. He must be a hero of the Northern Land Golden Tentacle, invincible with swords and horses. , I am truly ashamed of Young Master Chen." He got up and waved Lu Guichen's big sleeve from a distance: "I dare not take it high, I will leave!" He turned around and strode away. Lu Guichen was still holding the ink pen clumsily, and sat there blankly looking at Master Lu's back. Bai Liyu had already jumped up lightly, and followed him to watch Master Lu's back disappear at the end of the corridor. "Admiration, admiration! You are so courageous!" Bailiyu jumped back and gave Lu Guichen a thumbs up, "This old guy's temper is like a stinky stone in a latrine. I wouldn't dare to mess around with him. Go and complain to your father." "What... what should I do?" Lu Guichen looked at him helplessly. "I've done everything, what else can I do?" Bailiyu shrugged, "If you are afraid, don't be angry with that old thing." "I... I didn't do it on purpose," Lu Guichen lowered his head, "I don't even understand what Master said." "Don't you know Donglu characters?" "I have learned it before, but I really don't understand what the master said. I don't understand saints, righteousness, and great principles. Young master Yu, what is a saint?" "Saint?" Bailiyu was stunned for a moment, scratching his forehead, "This...it's hard to say, probably the great sage in ancient times, who wrote books, taught and taught students all day long, very old-fashioned. Kindly, keep your back straight in the lecture hall. If Master Lu rots to the bone in a few hundred years, he might also wear the title of saint." "Oh..." Lu Guichen seemed to realize something. "That's right, that's right," Bailiyu became a little curious about the fear that this savage gradually lost, "Do you guys in Beilu usually don't use writing? You just rode here to graze, and ran When they go there to graze, everyone will slash at each other with knives as soon as they turn their backs, and then the victor will cut off the head of the loser and make a wine cup? And rob him of his remaining women? I read That's right, you don't look like a savage." Lu Guichen thought silently for a while: "Actually, that's not the case..." He couldn't find any suitable words to describe Shuofangyuan in his heart, and finally he could only say: "It's actually just a grassland." The door rang softly three times. The woman under the lamp was startled, stuffed the things in her hands back into her sleeves, and lowered her voice: "Come in." The door opened, and a child with his head bowed came in. His hair was tied up with an ivory hairpin, and only a black forehead was visible. "Why did Young Master Chen come here late at night?" Su Jieyu recognized the hairpin. "I..." Lu Guichen hesitated, "I want to borrow some books to read." "Borrowing books?" The woman shook her head indifferently, "I have some books here, but there are more books in the warehouse. You can find any books that Young Master Chen wants there." Lu Guichen hesitated for a moment: "Then... I'm bothering Jieyu." He turned around, but the woman suddenly called him: "Why did Young Master Chen come here?" "I don't know the title of the book," Lu Guichen said in a low voice, "I want to find some books to read, so that I can understand what Master Lu said, but I don't know what books to read. Can't find..." The woman was silent for a while: "Did Master Lu scold you?" "No. But... they all say I'm a barbarian..." "What book is Master Lu talking about now?" ""The Enlightenment of the Political Code"." "Although it's an Enlightenment, it's already a very difficult book. No wonder you don't understand it," the woman stood up, and took a few books from the bookshelf that covered the entire wall. The annotated edition and Xiang Yan’s "Kuanchuang Qiuwenlu". The former is the most complete annotated edition, and although the latter is about the "Government Code", they are all short stories, which are more interesting to read." Lu Guichen froze for a moment, went up to catch it respectfully, held it high above his head according to the etiquette taught by Master Lu, and wanted to back away. "Like reading?" The woman asked suddenly. "Hmm!" Lu Guichen lowered the book and looked at the woman, "We don't have many books in Beilu, and when we read the book, we feel that there is so much knowledge in the book that we can't understand it in a lifetime." "In fact, it is not necessary to read a lot of books. How much can you understand by reading?" "Doesn't Jieyu like reading very much?" The woman thought about it for a while: "People themselves are like a book, but how many people can understand themselves?" These words were too profound for Lu Guichen, but he felt the natural intimacy. He remembered his father's instructions, and bowed respectfully: "Is there anything Su Jieyu can teach me?" The woman stroked the top of his head lightly, she didn't speak for a long time, then she smiled: "It's nothing, your maid doesn't know how to comb your hair, it's so messy, I'll comb it for you." She washed Lu Guichen's hair and put a white silk around her neck.After washing his hair, Lu Guichen didn't have much hair, and his head looked a little round, more like a child.He obediently lowered his head, allowing the woman to fiddle with his head.His eyes fell on the two pots of purple flowers by the window: "I have never seen the flowers raised by Jieyu, what are they called?" "Zi Linqiu, a gift from a friend." In the end, the woman took off the ivory hairpin she was biting into her mouth, and tied her hair into a tight bun for Lu Guichen, "Be happy, you are not alone in a foreign land." In the dead of night. Candles were still lit in the Xipei Hall, three or five figures were reflected on the window paper, and voices could be faintly heard. A man snorted and laughed a few times from his nose: "Barbarian! I can't even read a few words, and I want to learn the culture of our heavenly kingdom. Playing the piano to a cow is really playing the piano to a cow!" "This article is for the spiritual students. Those who drink blood will never have the chance to learn the essence. If the lord of the country did not issue a death order, I would not do such a degrading thing. ,” someone hummed and patted the table. "Don't be restless, Mr. Lu, and don't be rash," another gentle voice comforted, "After all, the two countries have made an alliance, and it is still necessary to save face. The king's ostentation is so big, let a barbarian and the prince eat and eat the same The purpose of daily life is obvious, isn't it just for the envoys of the Golden Horde?" "Today I met with the lord, and the lord still wants him to eat and sleep with Master Yu. There is no difference at all. I really don't have much patience to spend on that uncivilized barbarian. And if this knowledge is learned by the barbarian, in the future he will Having two ambitions is not good for us in the East, and I am a sinner through the ages, how can I meet our ancestors of the Lu family?" The gentle voice smiled: "Whether he can learn to read or not is his own understanding. Lu Gong taught the son to read, and putting him aside is like letting a starling go. He will be able to speak a few words for a long time. As for the essence, Is the essence so easy to learn? Even if he is a savage, he won't learn anything!" "The monkey is right! But we have to beware of that Tuoba Shanyue, I am afraid that he is the backer of this barbarian. Now the lord of the country is very fond of this barbarian, so we must prevent him from being pampered." "Qiugong's statement made the king look down on the king again. How can the king love and trust the barbarians? If the king really regards Tuoba Shanyue as his confidant, why did he let him and Wu Dian command Sir Xi to have a festival? Tuoba Nominally mastering the three armies, but the first person in our Tang army is General Yu Dian Yu, Master Xi! If Master Xi hadn’t been indifferent, would Tuoba Shanyue have been the one to take this position?" The whispering whispers continued to come.The child standing under the eaves silently looked at the scroll in his hand. He thought he might be able to understand after reading the three annotated editions of "The Enlightenment of the Political Code" and Xiang Yan's "Record of Asking Questions through the Window".When he passed by here, he heard a lot of words, but no matter how many words there were, there was only the word "barbarian".He felt a little wronged in his heart, so wronged that people wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry.He is indeed a barbarian, a descendant of the Pasur family of the Lu family in the Qingyang Department. Since he set foot on the land of the East Road, he has made up his mind to be an example of a prairie boy, never to be weak and cry. He walked through the corridor silently, and there was no one in it.In the dead of night, the sound of frogs is loud and clear. He hesitated at the intersection, on the one hand, he was going to Bailiyu's Liangfeng Garden, and on the other hand, he was going to Guihong Pavilion where he lived.But he knew that there was only darkness in Guihong Hall, and no human voice could be heard.The two girls who served him, Liu Yu'er and Xiao Su, were originally Bailiyu's maids. At this time, they couldn't wait to go to Liangfeng Garden like birds flying out of the cage. birdcage? Lu Guichen thought it was really a bird cage, and this cage was only for him. He walked on the third road, just wandering endlessly, stopping and going, finally he suddenly saw the half-hidden palace gate, which looked familiar.He remembered that it was the Meilan Palace where Bailiyu lived when he entered the palace for the first time. After that, Bailiyu moved into Liangfengyuan, separated from his Guihong Pavilion by only one wall. It was deserted, and there were no people in the daytime.He opened the door casually, and saw the moonlight filling the walkway, the shadows of the trees swaying on the ground, and the rustling leaves making sounds in the wind.He walked further in, and the main hall was emptied, and the moonlight was cast from the hollow windows on all sides, and the whole place was like quicksilver.He felt tired, so he sat on the ground, hugged his knees, and watched the breeze blow up the golden yarn wrapped around the rafters, rising and falling. He thought that Donglu is actually a very good place. He never imagined that someone could weave the spun gold yarn so thinly that he could see the skin of those girls through it. They were all as beautiful as princesses. Applying rose oil on the head, it makes people intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers from a distance.The houses in Donglu are also so exquisite, with bucket arches and cornices, orchids and small bamboos are planted delicately behind the screen walls in the corners of the corridors, which always make people's eyes shine.The ruler of Donglu is also very dignified. He always has a calm smile and speaks every word calmly and elegantly. But he still misses Hokuriku, his father, mother, Dahe Samochi and Suma. Donglu has everything, but he just doesn't have what he wants. He gradually became sleepy and felt cold again.He stood up, jumped and tore off the golden yarn, wrapping it round and round around himself.Finally he leaned against the wall and sat in a cloud-like veil.The light gauze is as cold and slippery as ice, but it is extraordinarily warm when wrapped around the body.Drowsiness welled up, and he lowered his head. The cold moonlight cast from the open window sills and shone on the top of his head. He thought of the warm cowhide blanket with the red brazier inside, and felt that he was going to sleep. Footsteps! His heart skipped a beat. "Ah..." It was a wail, but it seemed to be strangled to death halfway. Lu Guichen opened his eyes and turned his head to listen again. Those small voices disappeared again, only the sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves on the ground in the courtyard outside.The moonlight filled the ground, and the ground of the palace was glowing with a cold green color.His back felt cold, thinking of ominous legends in the palace.Numb skin exploded on his body, and he felt that someone was walking around the palace, but the sound of those footsteps was intermittent.There was the sound of breathing again, as if it was right next to the ear.His heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his mouth. "Grab him and beat him to death!" Yin Yin's roar was extremely penetrating. The sound of footsteps became clear, just outside the wall of Meilan Palace.It was not one, but a group of people, and the sound of chaotic and hurried footsteps approached extremely quickly from a distance. Someone was fighting in the palace, Lu Guichen heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately became uneasy again.It's hard to explain why he stayed in the abandoned old palace in the middle of the night.After hesitating for a while, he quietly tiptoed towards the side door by the west wall.The side door was not locked, and the tentacles opened. He stepped out of the door, and saw a person rushing out from the slanting stab, and slammed into the palace wall fiercely.It was too late for him to return.A black shadow chased up from behind, as fierce as a leopard, and ruthlessly stabbed the man in front with his elbow in the lower abdomen.Outside the door was a narrow alley that was less than three feet wide between two high walls. Lu Guichen couldn't see the man's face, but he could feel the fierce force in that elbow, and the man immediately bowed to the ground like a shrimp.More people rushed over, and the leopard-like figure raised its foot and kicked violently a few times indiscriminately, immediately blocking the pursuers.His breathing was heavy and intermittent, he didn't know if he was injured or exhausted, but he didn't have time to catch his breath, he staggered a few steps with his hands on the palace wall, flashed past Lu Guichen, and ran vigorously again . "You still dare to run? I'll let you die here today!" The pursuer ignored his injured companion and growled ferociously, without leaving a step behind. Lu Guichen saw clearly that it was seven or eight people chasing and beating one, and the one being chased was the one who elbowed the opponent.The seven or eight pursuers all had wooden knives in their hands, but the escaped man was empty-handed. One of his legs seemed to be sprained, but he still ran swiftly and vigorously.The pursuers were forced into a straight line by the palace wall, and the people in front blocked the way behind, gradually unable to catch up. "Stop!" In the alley ahead, someone suddenly gave a low shout, it was that sinister voice.Followed by the whistling wind of the wooden knife, it swept across the ground, and it was too late for the fleeing people to jump up.The wooden knife slashed on his shin accurately and forcefully, making a heart-shattering muffled sound.Lu Guichen almost thought that the man's leg was broken.All those who were chasing behind rushed forward.Each of them tried their best with their hands, and the wooden knife chopped down their heads and faces, like crazy, as if they were chopping a watermelon.The besieged people had only their hands to hold their heads, and kept rolling in the siege. "Hit it to death! See if this kid still dares to be rampant?" It was that sinister voice again. This person seemed to be the leader of everyone, but he didn't do anything, he just stood aside with the wooden knife in his arms, and a pair of eyes gleamed in the dark night.Lu Guichen shuddered, his gaze reminded him of a wolf on the grassland. "Are you convinced? I see you are not convinced!" "Die to me... to die!" The person who beat him cursed in a low voice, as if venting the anger he had accumulated for a long time.Lu Guichen could tell that these were boys around his age.They were dressed in the costumes of the Forbidden Army in the palace, with silver chrysanthemum military emblems hanging from their shoulders. The Eastern Palace Barracks was a place where young warriors from aristocratic families gathered. The military academy lined up, most of them were children without long hair on their mouths.The boys hacked for a while, then lifted their feet and stepped on the child's back and chest. Lu Guichen felt a little surprised. From the beginning to the end, the child who was beaten did not make a sound, he just dodged with his head in his arms, and was kicked around like a ball. Finally, someone seized the opportunity, kicked the child's hand away, followed by stepping on the side of his face, gritted his teeth hard, and firmly stomped his head to the ground.Only then did the other children stop one after another, looking at the children on the ground with their hips crossed and laughing. "Come on, Lei Yunzhengke, step on it harder, I'll piss on this bastard's face," someone said while unbuttoning his belt. "Fang Qizhao, you are ruthless!" A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd, and everyone followed behind with their belts untied. Lu Guichen felt a little uncomfortable, but he knew there was nothing he could do.This is not his hometown, he is just a barbarian in the East Palace.He wanted to retreat quietly and close the door, when the moonlight broke through the clouds, and silver-like brilliance fell down. The sudden light was like electricity, Lu Guichen saw the boy's face and his wide eyes.Those pure black eyes, staring hard under someone else's boots, were as deep as a sea of ​​ink.Lu Guichen felt that he couldn't breathe suddenly, he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face, he believed that the boy saw his face when the moonlight broke through the clouds.But afterwards, he felt that the boy was not looking at anyone or anything at all. He widened his eyes fiercely, staring at the endless distance. It is the gaze that ignited an era, it is a sword or a spear, even if it is broken, it will not regret it. The moon disappeared into the clouds again in an instant. "Stop!" Lu Guichen shouted. He himself was taken aback, "Who?" The teenagers of the forbidden army also retreated in horror, holding their wooden knives tightly at the same time, standing side by side, forming a formation to resist the enemy. "It's the barbarian," muttered one of them with good eyesight. The teenagers felt that it was a bit tricky and cast glances at each other.After all, he was a distinguished guest who worked and rested with Young Master Yu, so it was inconvenient to offend him face to face, but he was clearly just an insignificant barbarian, and he seemed unwilling to release the prey he had worked so hard to catch for him.A group of people turned their heads in unison to look at the person leaning against the corner with a wooden knife. "Ah!!! My... my feet!" One of the teenagers screamed.He jumped up holding his ankles, and fell to the side, howling. The teenagers lowered their heads in surprise, and saw that the child's hand on the ground was bent like a hook. Just now, this iron-like hand grabbed the ankle of one of them so hard that even the trousers were torn. The black-eyed boy, who was already on the verge of death, flicked his back, jumped up, and rushed towards an opponent.The boy who was shouting and laughing just now became terrified and inexplicable in an instant, and jumped away involuntarily.But they made the grave mistake of untying their trousers, which fell to their knees.The black-eyed boy ran into an opponent's arms, snatched his wooden knife with his hands, swung the knife horizontally in a circle, and knocked the boys away with great precision and power.If it weren't for the armor of the forbidden army on the boys, Lu Guichen would definitely break the opponent's ribs with that blow. Only one person was not hit, he was stunned for a moment, jumped up from behind and swung his knife down. The black-eyed boy suddenly threw away the wooden knife, and he also jumped up, flying into the air like an arrow, and shouldered the enemy behind him. "Wrestling?" Lu Guichen opened his mouth in shock. The unarmed combat that the barbarians on the grassland are best at is wrestling. Lu Guichen has seen countless good men who can even wring an angry bull to the ground since he was a child, but he has never imagined such a posture.The black-eyed boy crashed into the opponent's arms the moment he rose into the air. He grabbed the opponent's forearm, and with the momentum of the rush, he turned halfway in the air, and smashed the opponent's arm to the ground.The opponent has no choice but to follow him, otherwise the arm will be twisted in two.This is a trick that can only be practiced in beatings, and no samurai will teach students like this.When he landed, his elbows hit his opponent's chest together.The weight of the whole person was pressed from his forearm to the opponent's body, and with a wail of pain, the opponent's boy burst into tears, foaming at his mouth. The boy slapped him mercilessly on the face: "Lei Yunzhengke, do you know you are crying? You are not dead yet!" Full of spirit and ruthlessness.As if he was not injured at all, he slapped Lei Yunzhengke fiercely on the face again, then turned his head and looked around coldly.The teenagers seemed to be frozen by his gaze for a moment, and then turned around and wanted to escape together. "Ghost crying and wolf howling! I won't hit you today!" The boy stepped on Lei Yunzhengke's face, "I hit him because he stepped on my face!" "Yu Yin!" He pointed at the young man holding the wooden knife in the dark again, "If you have the guts to fight with me, come by yourself! Don't bring these useless trash next time! I will play with you whenever you come. Duoyi, you want to fight me, you are far from it! Coward without courage!" The boy in the darkness trembled, as if he couldn't help but want to pounce on him.But the boy shortly picked up the wooden knife that Lei Yunzhengke dropped, and the two faced each other coldly for a moment. The dark boy snorted darkly in his nose: "You have no status to be my opponent, and you have a chance to go to the battlefield , I won’t be too late to kill you!” He left first, and the rest of the teenagers followed him closely, not daring to fall behind.The two seriously injured teenagers staggered while leaning on the wall and followed, as if they dared not be left alone next to this evil star.The black-eyed boy didn't stop them, he looked at their backs and stood as straight as a gun.It wasn't until the teenagers turned a corner at the end of the narrow alley and disappeared completely that he trembled suddenly and sat down slowly.He curled up there and pinched his shins fiercely with both hands, gasping for cold air with his mouth wide open, but he didn't make a sound.Lu Guichen stood there staring blankly, not knowing what to do. The boy sat for a while, then stood up with difficulty on his hands, without looking at Lu Guichen, and shuffled away.Lu Guichen looked at his back, and suddenly his heart moved, and he couldn't help following two steps. The boy turned around abruptly, staring at Lu Guichen with fierce and vigilant eyes. "What are you doing?" There was no emotion in the boy's voice. "I...I..." Lu Guichen shook his head in a daze, he felt the indifference of the other party. "Don't run out at night in the future. Everyone in the Imperial Army fights. Sometimes there are dozens or hundreds of people. If you don't know how to fight, don't join in the fun," the boy lowered his voice, as if scolding a child. He turned back and limped away, Lu Guichen stood there for a while, and said, "You..." "What's the matter?" The boy didn't turn around this time. "Are you okay?" Lu Guichen hesitated, "I...my name is Lu Guichen, Lu Guichen Asule, you can call me Asule."
