This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 68: A big insect came from the front office
Sang Qingyang was left behind by Li Xian halfway and arrived late.As soon as he arrived in Bianjing, he went to the Privy Council to plead guilty.

"Why don't you report it urgently?" Cao Li looked at him coldly, playing with a jade ball in his hand.

"The official..." Sang Qingyang smiled bitterly, "Li Xian does not allow the official to follow..."

Bah!
The jade ball shattered at his feet.

"It's obvious that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, so you don't dare to follow me to Rouyuan Village!" Cao Lili was furious, "If you were to follow me, how could I delay the news!"

Someone must have snitched on him... Sang Qingyang knelt down and said, "This official is guilty!"

"Putting aside the guilt for now, I ask you." Cao Li said in a deep voice: "I heard that Li Xian is commanding Ruoding in the northwest, but is this true?"

Sang Qingyang looked up, a little confused.

"Among the entourage on this trip, are there any generals given by the government?" Cao Li's eyes were bright.He suspected that Zhao Zhen secretly ordered the generals to accompany Li Xian.

Sang Qingyang thought about it carefully and shook his head.

"Never."

"He ordered three hundred horsemen to drag branches and gallop back and forth. The Western thieves thought that a large group of people was coming. Then they attacked and defeated the enemy at night. How could he come up with such exquisite military techniques at his fingertips?" Cao Li's eyebrows were beating, "Don't tell me, he What a star!"

Sang Qingyang thought about it carefully, "I really can't remember it."

"Idiot!" Cao Li felt that he had made a mistake and should not have sent this idiot to the northwest. "If you think about it carefully, how did the accompanying soldiers look at Li Xian when they returned?"

Sang Qingyang remembers, "Reverent."

Cao Li was instantly depressed.

……

In the early morning, before dawn, Li Xian got up.

The trip to the northwest gave him a sense of urgency to improve his martial arts skills as soon as possible.

His sword skills were learned from Wang He and he felt that he was quite sharp.

Fan Ji and others were also practicing. When they saw Li Xian practicing his sword, they all stopped and observed.

During the battle in the northwest, Li Xian's sword skills improved a lot, but in the eyes of such warriors who have fought in hundreds of battles, they are still not good enough.

After watching for a while, Fan Ji frowned and asked Yan Da: "What do you think?"

There is a scar on Yan Da's forehead, like a deep wrinkle.He glanced at it and coughed dryly, "This is the swordsman's technique."

"How?" Fan Ji looked at Wang He playfully.

"He is very sharp, and he is best when fighting alone. However, Lang Jun is not suitable for this kind of swordsmanship."

"Why?"

"Lang Jun is taller than Wang He. He will be much slower to perform such delicate sword skills. On the battlefield, a moment's delay can mean life or death."

Yan Da demonstrated and lowered the speed of swinging the knife.

After Li Xian finished practicing, Fan Ji first apologized to Wang He, "I'm offended."

Wang He took a step back and said calmly: "It's easy to talk."

Fan Ji and others have been here for two days and behaved very calmly. Even Xinghua said that she slept much better at night with them around.

"Old Fan, do you have something to say?" Li Xian wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.

"The villain has seen Lang Jun's swordsmanship. Personally speaking, it is naturally top-notch." Fan Ji said sincerely: "The villain dares to ask Lang Jun his ambition, whether he is in the court or on the battlefield."

Li Xian narrowed his eyes, "Who knows the future? But I think I won't kill anyone in the future."

"So, the villain is bold." Fan Ji pointed at Yan Da, "Since Lord Marquis is going to fight to kill the enemy, please take a look at Yan Da's sword skills."

Wang He was quite dissatisfied with such an obscure gesture, "Speak directly, as long as it is beneficial to your husband, how can I feel jealous?"

Fan Ji apologized and said, "Please take a look."

"Okay!" Li Xian stepped back.

Yan Da, who looked like an old farmer, stepped forward with a knife.

His back was slightly arched, making him look rickety.

Suddenly, he looked up sharply.

"kill!"

A tragic atmosphere emerged after hundreds of battles.

Li Xianqing couldn't help but retreat.

Laifu stood in front of him, with his back also arched and a threatening whimper coming from his throat, as if he had encountered a formidable enemy.

The light of the sword flashed, and he moved forward indomitably.

There are no complicated and cumbersome techniques, just slashing and blocking back and forth.

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Da sheathed his sword and said, "The villain has shown his embarrassment."

Li Xian glanced at Wang He. He must show some respect to his personal bodyguard.

"Good sword skills." Wang He said solemnly.

"By the way, Yan Da. There is one thing Li Xian doesn't understand, "Why is there so little blocking in swordsmanship? "

Yan saluted, "On the battlefield, those who can live longer are those who do not hesitate to die."

The more you block, the more holes you will have.Li Xian ordered, "Xinghua."

"Hey!" Xinghua, who was making Li Xian's bed, poked her head out, "What's the matter?"

"From today on, Fan Ji and the other five people's monthly salary will be increased by [-]%."

Money is like a bastard to Li Xian.But his generosity made Fan Ji and others who were abandoned in the northwest burst into tears.

"Thank you Hou Ye!"

The five knelt down.

"Get up." Li Xian nodded. Wen Yanbo was about to get up at this moment, with an embarrassed look on his face, "Disciple got up late."

"From today on, you have to practice too." Li Xian was somewhat expecting Wen Yanbo to be trained to the point where life would be worse than death.

"Practice?" Wen Yanbo was confused.

Xinghua smiled and said: "You are blessed, you will be both civil and military from now on."

Wen Yanbo wailed, "Sir, this disciple is weak...congenitally weak!"

"Practice can cure your illness, laziness!" Li Xian threw the long knife over, and Wen Yanbo hurriedly took it.

Wang He smiled and said, "Wen Langjun, follow the villain!"

Have breakfast after showering and changing clothes.

Wen Yanbo, who had been drilled a lot, sat down crookedly, his arms were trembling, and he couldn't hold the chopsticks firmly.

"So pitiful." Xinghua said pitifully.Di Qing is here.

"He's someone who knows how to make money." Wen Yanbo glanced sideways at Di Qing, seemingly rude, but without the politeness he had before.

After Di Qing saluted, he sat down and ate a leg of mutton first, saying it was for stomach padding, and then he revealed his purpose.

"Yesterday, someone inquired about Mr. Sir's words and deeds during this trip. This disciple is worried..."

Chen Shou?Li Xian thought of this person, "You didn't argue with anyone, did you?"

"No, the disciples have learned from the teacher's teachings, and the most important thing is to follow the rules." Di Qing said seriously, taking the second leg of lamb handed over by Xinghua, nodding in thanks, and biting into it with big mouthfuls.

After finishing eating, the man knelt down as if he suddenly realized something, "Thank you for your mentor's teaching. My disciple is now a tenth general."

The Tenth General is a low-ranking officer in the Forbidden Army.

This fool... Li Xian's head was full of black lines, "Go and learn military affairs from Fan Ji and the others."

"Yes." Di Qing wiped his mouth and went out, looking nonchalant.

What a cool 15-year-old!
Looks full of energy.

……

"Where is Di Qing?" A general, Yu Hou, led several sergeants to find the barracks where Di Qing was.

"I'm asking for leave," Di Qing's colleague said.

"When will you come back?" asked General Yuhou.

"Just an hour's leave."

"Thank you."

"Hey! What are you waiting for to find the Tenth General Di?" asked the colleague.

General Yuhou said with a ferocious smile: "My brother was beaten so hard yesterday that most of his teeth fell out. No, I brought someone here to express my gratitude. By the way, what does Di Qing look like?"

Looking at the sergeants who were full of vitality, the comrades couldn't help but mourn for Di Qing.Several sergeants came over, and he said helplessly: "You only need to see the person who makes you feel envious and jealous, and you will understand."

Not long after, Di Qing came back.

He was carrying a bag, which contained food prepared for him by Li Xianling Xinghua.

Di Qing still remembers his husband’s dissatisfied words: “Young man, I’m a poor man.”

As he said this, he stuffed an extra bag of dried meat into the bag.

Di Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"Di Qing!"

General Yuhou and his men came out and stopped Di Qing.

"What's the matter?" Di Qing's handsomeness is unrivaled in the army, so just seeing him, who is also a man, will inevitably give rise to jealousy in his heart.

So after leaving the military camp, Di Qing liked to let his hair down to cover his handsome face.

"Did you beat my brother Wang Hu?" asked General Yuhou.

Di Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "That man is a bitch, so of course he deserves to be beaten!"

"Wang Hu has lost all his big teeth. Today, Ye Ye will retaliate with tooth for tooth! Come on, knock out all his teeth!"

After a while, Di Qing put the burden on his back and passed over the fallen general Yuhou.

Behind him, several sergeants howled miserably.

……

Li Xian took Wen Yanbo, Wang He and others to the outside of the Si Yamen in front of the palace.

"Master Marquis, wait a moment." A sergeant invited Li Xian to drink tea.

"No need." Li Xian came to the front office for the first time and looked around curiously.

A general strode in and turned his eyes, "Where is Li Xian?"

Li Xian looked at this person and said, "Are you looking for me?"

"I'm Du Lin!" Du Lin was only in his early thirties. In this era, it's okay to call himself an old man. There was a coldness in his eyes. "I heard that you defeated Li Deming in the northwest? Tell me about it."

Behind him, Wen Yanbo, who had already done his homework, said in a low voice: "Sir, Du Lin is the general's son, Marquis Yu, the capital of the Infantry Army of the Imperial Guard."

Having a secretary is of great help... Li Xianwei squinted his eyes and said calmly: "Why should I tell you this?"

"Discourteous!" an official next to Du Lin said, "Du Yuhou is going to deduce the battle and report it to the Queen Mother's family."

Isn’t this the familiar rhythm of grabbing credit?
Li Xian didn't know where Du Lin's sense of superiority came from, but he thought about the hardships of the soldiers in the northwest, and he also wanted to establish a personal presence in the army, so before he came to the front office, he was prepared to deal with various provocations.

What kind of character is good?

Li Xian thought for a long time, and finally felt that it was best to be tough when facing the sullen military general.

Only iron and blood can save the Song Dynasty, right?

Li Xian walked over, and Du Lin laughed, thinking that no matter how arrogant a person is, he would have to bow his head in front of the general Du family.

Li Xian just passed him by.

Du Lin was startled, furious, and turned around to grab Li Xian's shoulder.

"Stop!" The duty door opposite opened, and Chen Shou appeared. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but feel slightly angry.

Li Xian had just used Yan University's move to deal with the sneak attack in the morning.

Grab the wrist on your shoulder with your right hand, reach up with your left hand, tilt your body to the right, and then bend down to the left to exert force.

Bah!
Du Lin was thrown from Li Xian's back and fell heavily to the ground.

He rolled his eyes and actually fainted.

When Marquis Dingyuan came to the palace for the first time, he actually knocked out General Du Lin as a greeting gift?
Everyone was stunned.

Li Xian clapped his hands and said disdainfully: "Trash!"

In the duty room, several generals were talking happily.

"Li Xian is young after all. If young people want to make a difference in the army, they must rely on us. Therefore, I thought that he would definitely be humble." A general smiled reservedly.

Someone opened the door and came in.

"Everyone, Du Lin provokes Marquis Dingyuan."

"How?" The general who spoke smiled and said: "Du Lin has a bad temper and is jealous. Although he is a military general, he is still a general's son. Dingyuan Hou is afraid of having connections in the army. He has seen the excitement."

The general who came in through the door waited for him to finish laughing before saying, "Du Lin was knocked unconscious by Marquis Dingyuan."

Smiles froze on their faces, and everyone looked at each other.

"I'm afraid it's not a big insect that's here!"
