The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 36 Return Gift
Liu Ge rolled his eyes at Xiahou Zhuo and said, "You are going to the Northern Frontier to be a soldier, how can you improve him? It's better if you are in Jizhou. If you leave next year, it's unknown whether he can survive."
Liu Ge said, "You know very well that even if your father comes back and punishes your elder brother in anger, he won't kill him. At most, he will beat him up and lock him up for a few days. After you leave Jizhou next year, your elder brother won't be able to take revenge on you. How can he take revenge on someone like Li Chi?"
Xiahou Zhuo said: "I plan to have him join the Qingyi formation."
Liu Ge was startled: "What are you thinking about!"
Xiahou Zhuo said: "But he is really a good seedling."
Liu Ge said: "In fact, there are a lot of good candidates for us to choose from. Just think about it, even if his martial arts aptitude is not as good as Li Chi's, he can make up for it in other aspects and it will be of great benefit to us."
He looked at Xiahou Zhuo and said seriously, "I'm just giving you an example, don't be angry... There was a boy from the Zhang family who entered the academy at the same time as Li Chi. His name was Zhang Xiaolin. I know him because I'm slightly related to him."
"His talent is indeed not as good as Li Chi's, but if we keep Zhang Xiaolin in the future, as the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, he can bring us the strength of the entire Zhang family. What can Li Chi bring?"
Xiahou Zhuo remained silent.
He couldn't refute it. The facts were the facts and there was no point in making excuses.
Liu Ge said: "I know you like that boy. If he knows what's best for you, he should go to the Northern Frontier with you. If you are still alive in five years, you can take him to the border army. At least he can take care of you."
Xiahou Zhuo said: "I'll make my own plans."
Liu Ge was so angry at his words that he snorted and stood up and walked out: "You are so stubborn that you won't listen to anyone's advice."
Xiahou Zhuo smiled and said, "You are not that kind of person who would turn around and walk away if you don't agree with something."
Liu Ge was so angry that he turned around and spat at him a few times, saying, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh, your mother-in-law has piss all over her face!"
Then he strode away.
Xiahou Zhuo laughed and said, "You still say I'm childish..."
Lying on the stretcher, Xiahou Zhuo's mind could not stop for a moment. He knew that Liu Ge was right. It was too difficult for Li Chi to improve to a higher level with his identity.
All those respectable people in Jizhou City are like living in small ponds full of koi fish. They have already accepted each other's existence. If you suddenly throw a loach into any pond, even if it lives in this pond, it will always look so awkward.
"Koi...loach."
Xiahou Zhuo let out a long breath and told himself in his heart that even if that silly boy didn't want to follow him to Northern Frontier next year, he would still make good arrangements for his future.
Academy.
Dean Gao Shaowei left with several other instructors, leaving only Li Diudiu and Yan Qingzhi in the room. The doctor had come over to see them, and Yan Qingzhi had treated them very well, so the doctor left some medicine and left.
"Why does sir know how to set bones?"
Li Diudiu asked curiously.
Yan Qing said: "When a person is alone for a long time, he will feel bored a lot of the time. When he is bored, he will want to learn a lot of things, so that he can kill time."
Li Diudiu nodded: "I understand."
Yan Qingzhi glanced at him and said, "You have always had your master. Although your life is a little hard, you are not lonely. You are not that bored and you don't need to kill time, so how can you understand?"
Li Diudiu said: "My master has been alone for a long time, and I am the one he uses to kill time."
Yan Qingzhi: “…”
At this point, he suddenly realized something and asked curiously, "Did your master teach you everything you learned?"
Li Diudiu nodded and said, "Yes."
Yan Qingzhi asked again: "How strong is your master's martial arts?"
Li Diudiu said: "He...he doesn't know much. He only has mediocre skills. He can handle ordinary thieves."
Yan Qingzhi became even more curious.
He asked: "Then your martial arts..."
Li Diudiu said: "My master taught me, but most of it was not taught by him personally. He took me to travel around the seven counties of Jiyou over the years and made many friends. Whenever I met someone who knew martial arts, he would ask them to teach me a few moves."
Yan Qingzhi nodded and said, "I see. So what you learned was a little messy, but because of this mess, you learned from it and used whatever was useful, instead of being bound by moves."
Li Diudiu said: "The main thing is that they are just perfunctory in their teaching..."
Yan Qingzhi laughed and said, "Do you think those people can teach you anything if they don't teach you perfunctorily? Most of the so-called martial arts masters who teach people martial arts in this world are just shoddy, and their own skills are only mediocre."
He looked at Li Diudiu and asked, "I watched you teach Gao Xining martial arts. Your martial arts are very practical. None of your moves are fancy. Some of your moves don't look pretty, they're even a little ugly, but they can defeat the enemy."
Li Diudiu's eyes lit up: "Then can I open the door and accept disciples?"
Yan Qingzhi glared at him: "Do you need money so much?"
Li Diudiu nodded: "Yes, but not so much now. The money to buy a house is enough. I will give the money to Master later and let him choose it himself."
Yan Qingzhi did not ask Li Diudiu where the money came from. He just felt that this kid would never do anything harmful to the world.
"Rest, and don't move your right arm too much. It won't be completely healed without three months of recuperation."
After saying this, Yan Qingzhi stood up. When he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back at Li Diudiu and wanted to say something. Li Diudiu shook his head and said, "Sir, please don't advise me to stay away from Xiahou Zhuo."
"no."
Yan Qingzhi said: "Stay away from Gao Xining."
Li Diudiu was stunned.
Yan Qingzhi was silent for a moment and then said, "You know why."
Li Diudiu nodded: "I know."
At the same time, in a residential house in Jizhou City.
Liu Geng, the gatekeeper who had just returned home from the academy, hurried into the house and started shouting while he was still outside: "Pack up your things at home, we will leave Jizhou early tomorrow morning."
The door creaked open and a young man in a blue shirt walked out. When Liu Geng saw this man, he froze and his face turned pale instantly.
"Misfortune...Misfortune does not extend to the family."
Liu Geng said: "Please show some mercy."
The man in green clothes, Ye Zhangzhu, nodded and said, "Your wife has already fallen asleep. I just put some medicine in her drinking water. She will sleep until tomorrow morning."
Liu Geng smiled bitterly: "Thank you very much."
The man in green said, "I checked before I came here. If you were coerced, I would let you go after giving you a slight punishment today. After all, the men in green would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but you are not. You just covet the silver."
Liu Geng opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Yesterday Sun Biehe found him and gave him five hundred taels of silver. For a man like him, five hundred taels of silver was like a fortune sent from heaven. He worked as a janitor in the academy and could hardly save two taels of silver in a year. These five hundred taels were a sum of money that he could not earn in two hundred years. How could he not be tempted?
Besides, Sun Biehe had explained everything clearly, so he just had to tell a lie and there was no need for him to get involved in anything.
Moreover, Sun Biehe also guaranteed that Xiahou Zhuo and Li Chi would both die. Now that they were dead, naturally no one would seek revenge on him.
Ye Zhangzhu asked: "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
Liu Geng nodded: "I've practiced for a few years."
Ye Zhangzhu hummed: "Then you take action."
Liu Geng took a deep breath, then accelerated and rushed forward, punching Ye Zhangzhu in the neck. Ye Zhangzhu was still in the same place, his upper body slightly moved to the side, so his fist missed.
Ye Zhangzhu pinched Liu Geng's throat with his right hand, and used his five fingers to pinch and twist it. There was a cracking sound in the neck, and Liu Geng's head drooped down.
Ye Zhangzhu carried the corpse on his shoulders, looked back at the lights that were still on in the room, and said something as if talking to himself.
"Why do you want to hurt others? You will end up hurting yourself."
After saying that, he swept out of the courtyard wall.
Half an hour later, in an inn in Jizhou city, the academy teacher Liu Keda gulped down half a pot of boiled water. After drinking it, he felt a little better. He looked at Yang Fengshan who was sitting next to him, and the latter's face looked very ugly.
"Don't be too scared."
Liu Keda said: "We will leave the city from the north gate tomorrow morning. Someone will pick us up after we get out. When we get there, we can recuperate for a while. Anyway, you and I came to the academy just to kill Xiahou Zhuo..."
Yang Fengshan shook his head and sighed: "In fact, I quite like the academy. There is no fighting and it is peaceful and quiet..."
He looked at Liu Keda: "Don't you feel comfortable living in the academy?"
Liu Keda said: "I know that this comfortable life is given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He can take it back at any time. Do we have any choice?"
Yang Fengshan let out a heavy breath: "Most people have no choice in life, but we are living a relatively good life, so let's just hide."
Just at this moment there was a soft knock on the door, and after the knock someone asked in a low voice.
"Are you two gentlemen here? I'm here late at night to give you a shoulder massage or foot massage. Is that okay?"
Early the next morning.
After washing up, Prince Yang Zhuo sat down at the dining table. He looked unhappy. Last night, the governor's men intervened directly, which was something he had not expected.
He didn't expect that Xiahou Zhuo actually had deep connections with the people on the Jiedushi's side. He thought that Xiahou Zhuo just joined the Qingyi formation for fun.
"Prince."
A servant outside the door leaned over and said, "Someone outside brought a box in, saying it was a gift for the prince. I asked who sent it, and the servant just said that the prince would know it after seeing it."
Yang Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Bring it in and put it in the yard. I'll go check it out later."
The servant left in a hurry, and soon came back with a large box and placed it in the yard. Yang Zhuo ate something and stepped out of the door, asking someone to open the box. He leaned in to take a look, then let out a cry, took several steps back, and fell down on the steps.
The box was full of human heads, the two on top belonged to Liu Keda and Yang Fengshan.
"Carry it away!"
Yang Zhuo waved his hands like crazy: "Take it away!"
The servants were also terrified. They quickly closed the box again and several of them lifted the box and ran out. However, each of their legs was weak with fear. One servant staggered and fell to the ground, and the big box fell with him.
With a bang, the lid of the box fell open and the head rolled all over the yard.
Several heads were looking towards Yang Zhuo, as if they were staring at him with their eyes wide open. Yang Zhuo screamed again, and then his eyes went dark and he passed out.
