feud

Binh Duong.

Seven days had passed since the beginning of autumn, and Cen Li blocked the news and concentrated on training in the city. These newcomers can do nothing but loot houses, but they can only be cannon fodder on the battlefield.The only consolation is that most of them are the Huns who have hatred against the Jie people, and they are considered to be the same enemy. Cen Li distributed them to one hundred iron stupas, and they will lead the training first.

"Your Highness, these are the six pigeons that the Erlangs shot down."

In order to watch the military training conveniently, Cen Li moved out of the manor house and lived with his children, in the school yard south of the altar outside the Gonghua Gate of the Great Britain Palace.Sun Li presented the cloth and pigeons to Cen Li.Cen Li unfolded it, and after reading it, he said: "There is still Chongming's forces in the city, and ordinary people don't have so many pigeons. Sun Li, take them to stew."

Sun Li said "yes", and seeing Cen Li's helpless appearance, he reported the good news: "Among the recruits led by the minister, there is a general who can walk through Yang with a hundred steps and is proficient in various martial arts. It's just... a Liang man."

"Oh?" The first time Cen Li heard Sun Li praise others like this, he immediately became interested, and said, "You say you are a general, then I have to go and see."

Sun Li said: "It's good that I bring him here."

Cen Li stood up and said, "No, I also want to go out for a walk. Also, how many times have I said, don't call yourself 'Chen'."

When the two walked to the school grounds, the recruits slashed and stabbed at the straw man. Several ditches were dug in the ground. Some people walked through the ditches lying on their hands and feet, while others practiced drawing bows and archery.

Gao Yue was staring at the recruits, and yelled majesticly: "Stand up straight, stab again when you see it, you must kill with one blow, and don't give the enemy a chance to counterattack! You have the right posture, but you don't have enough strength , change the halberd, go get the spear!"

Gao Yue turned around and saw Sun Li, the dog ran up like a bone.He bowed to Cen Li and said, "Your Highness." He looked at Sun Li with a smile, as if saying "I am majestic or not".

Cen Li stood on the high platform of the martial arts competition, looking at the school field that accommodates 7000 people, and said, "Gao Yue, what do you think is the chance of winning if you let them go to fight Chongyan's army?"

Without thinking for too long, Gao Yue said, "Nothing."

"Some of Chongyan's army was given by the emperor. The cavalry brought out from the grasslands are all brave and good at fighting. Let these people fight, it is indeed an egg against a stone, and there is no chance of winning." Cen Li walked to a weapon rack and took He picked up a knife and weighed it, and said: "The knife is too light, this Zhuang Mingchen is not practical in doing things."

Gao Yue said: "Your Highness, they often complain that they don't have enough cakes and don't have the strength to practice."

"I'll figure out a way to do this. Let them train to look like an army as soon as possible." Cen Li put down his knife with a sullen face, and said to Sun Li, "Sun Li, let's go."

Gao Yue had known about Sun Li's visit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he retired respectfully.Sun Li took Cen Li to the team he was leading. He was considered the middle and lower ranks in Iron Buddha Tu. He led only 50 recruits, which was not difficult to recognize. Cen Li greeted them one by one.

"It's him. His name is Sima Heng." Sun Li showed Cen Li the record book, which contained Sima Wei's detailed records.Life experience, age, reasons for joining the army, etc.

After reading it, Cen Li returned the roster to Sun Li, carefully scrutinizing this Central Plains native who was about his height.

Sima Heng was wearing shabby Liangren clothes, with disheveled hair, slender eyes, a straight nose, and several scabs on his face.He dared to raise his eyes and look at Cen Li at the same level, without any sense of humbleness as a servant, his eyes were like a rebellious eagle.

Cen Li asked Sun Li to get the weapon, chose a knife himself, and said, "My lord, please enlighten me."

Sima Heng also chose a knife, set up the driver, and shouted, the whole person spread his wings like a big roc, and the knife carried Li Feng and chopped it down on Cen Li's head!

Cen Li swung the knife horizontally, abruptly blocked the sharp blow, and bounced it away with all his strength. The knife swept towards his abdomen, but he backed away in time to dodge it.

When the two saw each other's moves, Sun Li saw his blood boiling, and when Cen Li's knife stopped in front of Sima Heng's chest, he finally couldn't help but applaud loudly.

"Acceptance. You have been taught." Cen Li put away his knife and bowed to Sima Heng.Sima Heng put down the knife in a slump, panting slightly, his face was full of disbelief.

Cen Li bowed to him, and said in Liang's language, "Mr. Sima is as powerful as a tiger. He is really a fierce general. I am not qualified to ask about this matter, but since you have chosen to join the army, you should obey the military orders. I saw on the roster that So, you joined the army to avenge the annihilation of the country, can you explain in more detail?"

After a long time, just when Cen Li was about to think that he was dumb, Sima Heng spoke in a hoarse voice: "Jiegou Yidi seized my land in the Central Plains and stationed troops on the east side of Yingshui River. You sent troops to attack Chongyan, and you came to the same goal with me in Daliang by different routes. ?”

Cen Li said indifferently: "The Xiongnu are also barbarians."

The expression on Sun Li's face was slightly unnatural.No one wants to be scorned as "Yi Di" by others. This title itself has an insulting meaning.

The thoughts in Sima Heng's heart were answered, and he answered Cen Li with an unyielding look in his eyes.

"Mr. Sima has great ambitions. I'm afraid this little Pingyang will not be able to accommodate you." Cen Li turned around and said to Sunli in Xiongnu language: "Give him some money and let him go."

Sima Heng's face changed. He came here from Luoyang. He heard that someone was recruiting secretly to attack the empty Luoyang. He threw away the moldy buns and immediately went to sign up.He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he knows that if he is not weak in martial arts, he will definitely be elected. Although he lost this time, it is not a terrible loss, but he did not expect to be kicked out just like that. He was in a hurry.He said: "Are you afraid that I will retaliate against you? I thought that the prince of Zhao Guo had an extraordinary mind, but I didn't expect that he was actually narrow-minded, and he couldn't tolerate a down-and-out vulgar warrior."

Cen Li turned his head and said politely: "Mr. Sima has a good conversation and superb martial arts skills. How can he be compared with a vulgar martial artist? A villain is not talented, and I don't know what prince you are talking about. I am an ordinary person with no virtue or talent. It is impossible to accommodate a hero like the son."

Sima Heng was so choked up by these lies that he almost said what he shouldn't have said.Chongyan is his enemy, and it is true that Zhao Guo seized Luoyang and destroyed the country.But there are some things you just can't say to someone you just met.He thought about it, against his conscience, but he still wasn't sure that these words could move Zhao's prince.On the face, he said firmly: "Now Daliang's enemy is Manchu, Chongyan, neither the Xiongnu nor the State of Zhao. This is not what it used to be, and the old enemies are not as important as the current crisis. I am willing to put down my body and bear the infamy to join you, to help How can you make a change halfway through your efforts? Isn’t this a disaster for our court? Losing more than gaining, no one will do it.”

At sunset, Cen Li went to the kitchen for the last time. People looked respectful when they saw the prince. Sima Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at Cen Li. Cen Li shrugged, signaling for them to eat, and he also ate some hastily. .

For dinner, the soldiers received cakes and gruel, and each found a place to eat.Sun Li and Gao Yue ate in the room, but this time they ate with Cen Li in the kitchen, but Sun Li wanted more, because Gao Yue always gave half of himself to him, and Cen Li laughed when he saw them like this. With a smile, Sun Li lowered his head so much that he was about to touch the case.

After dinner, Cen Li was about to leave here and go back to the manor house. Although he appeared to live here, he would go back every night, there was a reason for this without even thinking about it.But he has a special status after all, and the road at night is dangerous, so Sun Li was worried, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, minister... I! Let me see you off."

"No need." Cen Li glanced at the people behind him, leaned over slightly and whispered, "Sun Li, watch Sima Heng more, and send someone to report to me immediately if you do something extraordinary."

Sun Li nodded, Cen Li felt relieved, got up and got into the carriage.Sun Li and Gao Yue and Sima Heng who were behind him both saluted the carriage and watched the carriage leave.

The three of them returned to their room, and Sima Heng was favored by the prince, so his place of residence was upgraded, and he received the same treatment as Tiefutu.In front of their meeting rooms, Sima Heng finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Young Master Sun, Young Master Gao, I don't understand something, please enlighten me. Why does His Royal Highness leave the school every night?"

Gao Yue didn't dislike Liang Ren, but he didn't like him either, and he didn't like Sima Heng, who was plain-looking and talkative, and Gao Yue was somewhat unhappy that he would follow Sun Li in the future.He waved his hand to chase people away and said, "We will take care of His Highness's affairs. Go to bed quickly, there will be a lot of things tomorrow."

"Mr. Sima." Sun Li bumped into Gao Yue with his elbow, dumbfounded: "Mr. Sima, don't mind, others are like this. But Gao Yue is right. Your Highness is the king, and we are the ministers. Measurable, unmeasurable."

"Taught." Sima Heng bowed to him and said flatly, "Farewell."

Back in the room, Sun Li picked out the candlesticks, moved a few volumes of Jian Ce to read on the couch, and began to teach himself the language and characters of Daliang. His martial arts are not as good as Gao Yue and Zhong Yi. Gao Yue was not willing to let him practice martial arts before. He said that it would be good to leave the bumps and bumps to him, which caused Sun Li to be a little more aggressive now. Anyway, he has missed the golden age of martial arts, and there is no hope of improving martial arts.Then he thought about learning the art of war and leading troops like His Highness. It is not bad to raise horses. Ever since he captured Pingyang City with Cen Li, he felt that he could not do this.

After studying for an hour, he was also tired, so he put down Jian Ce and frowned.A dark shadow flashed across the half-closed window, Sun Li pretended not to notice, and continued to study the strokes of the character "Gao" by himself.

"Hey!" Sun Li protected Jian Ce aside, and said, "Can you go through the gate? Also, don't press these things, they are very fragile."

Gao Yue was shirtless, sitting on the couch generously, and said: "Sun Li, reading carefully will hurt your eyes, don't read."

Sun Li smiled and said, "Can you still read it to me?"

After thinking about it, Gao Yue said, "Shall I sing you the song we had in the grassland?"

Sun Li immediately said: "No, no, there are people next door, don't let people suffer. Hahahahahahaha what are you doing! Stop! Gao Yue... I don't dare anymore, stop hahahahahahaha..."

Sun Li was wearing single clothes, Gao Yue knew his weakness, so he scratched him wantonly with both hands, until Sun Li couldn't help begging for mercy, while saying: "Learn that Lao Shizi book, let me wait for an hour every day, I will get back double! "

Sun Li: "Okay, okay, let you beg..."

Sun Li struggled by himself, and the two of them rolled and fought for a long time before Sun Li woke up as if he had been hit on the head, and immediately said: "Book Shu Shu, the book is going to be crushed by you!"

Mansion.

The dew dripped from the tip of the grass into the pool, making circles and ripples.

After Cen Li took a bath, he returned to the courtyard under the moonlight. Standing on the porch before entering the house, he heard He Zhinian say: "'Plucking the weeds, and the weeds will stop. Days come and go, years don't matter. end'…"

"'I used to go, Yangliu Yiyi. Now I come to think, rain and snow. The road is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, I don’t know I am sad!'"

After the song was over, Cen Licai walked in. He Zhinian gave him a flat look, got up from the couch, stepped back, and sat by the desk.

When Cen Li walked to the side of the couch, He Zhinian's voice sounded: "Dead is not dead, life is not life."

The person on the couch was sleeping peacefully, his breath was like a gossamer, if he didn't put a feather on the tip of his nose to test, he wouldn't know that he was still alive, but only this was the only proof that he was alive.

"Extremely poisonous." He Zhinian said: "If I hadn't studied medicine, I wouldn't have known that he was so poisonous, I would have lived a long time ago."

Cen Li gritted his teeth and said, "So what, you can detoxify?" Even Chongxuan couldn't do it, a novice who has only learned it for less than a month, what can he do?

He Zhinian looked at Wang Bing sadly, then moved to Jian Ce on the desk, dipped the pen in his left hand into ink, and said while writing something: "The most poisonous and difficult thing in this world is the human heart. "

The moonlight came in from the window, the night was hazy, and everything was silent. There was a wooden barrel by the pool, and there was a goldfish in it. The water was black, and the goldfish's belly turned up and its eyes turned white.

After Cen Li warmed his hands, he stretched into the bed and squeezed Wang Bing's hand tightly. He didn't notice that there was an inch-long wound on Wang Bing's finger.

Early the next morning, Cen Li went to the school grounds to find Zhong Yi and asked him to go to Runan County.

Zhong Yi heard that the prince came to look for him early in the morning, he was so happy that he jumped up and down, he was shocked: "What?"

Cen Li repeated lightly: "Go to Yuhe Palace to steal drugs."

Zhong Yi: "..."

Cen Li put his hands on his slumped shoulders and said, "This is something only you can do, Zhong Yi. I can rest assured only if I leave it to you."

Going to Runan County this time, he might meet the former Crown Prince Liu Jun.This young man just gave a big gift when they met for the first time, and Cen Li believed in his loyalty.In fact, Sun Li and Gao Yue are also possible, but he has other more important things to entrust to them.

Zhong Yi said reluctantly: "...Yes."

On the same day, Zhong Yi prepared the things to take when going out, Sun Li picked out a good horse for him, and Gao Yue sent him to the gate of the school grounds.

Seeing that Zhong Yi was still looking sullen, Sun Li comforted him: "Go, go early and come back early, I'll wait for you to drink."

Gao Yue said: "You old man, don't you just go out! It's like parting with life and death, go and go."

With these two brothers around, Zhong Yi's mood improved a lot.Evilly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Sun Li, you haven't seen him before. That day, your eyes were crying... Hey, hey, don't push me, Gao Yue, a big man, dare to do it or not! Don't push it ! Sun Li, save me!"

Gao Yue wished to slap him away immediately, and said: "Go, go, go, come back, I won't kill you with wine!"

"Okay Gao Yue hahahahahaha, servant Sun, servant, let me tell you about his day, hey! Take it easy! Hahahahahaha!"

Sun Li watched them play with a smile, and suddenly a person came out from behind, and he immediately saluted, "Your Highness."

Gao Yue was pushing Zhong Yi onto the horse, when he heard this, he paused, turned around and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness."

"You don't need to be so troublesome in the future. Zhong Yi, just sit down and don't get off the horse." Cen Li took two jars of wine by himself, walked to the horse, and handed one jar to Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi quickly bent down and took it with both hands, thanking him.

Cen Li raised the altar and said, "This trip is a long way, the mountains are high and the road is far away, so be careful."

At this moment, Zhong Yi only has joy in his heart!He said loudly, "I will definitely live up to His Highness' high expectations!"

The two smiled knowingly and raised the altar to drink.

Watching Zhong Yi go away, Cen Licai turned around and said to the two, "Go back."
