Chapter 120: Conferring Swords and Contesting Swords
"This is the captain's order. Tomorrow you go to the market and find a jade seller. Show the captain's order and he will take you to meet the other captains."
Ying Zheng took out a token from his body and handed it over.
Bai Zhong took it and looked at it. He saw that the token was carved from beautiful jade and was of great value. He handed it over and said, "I will definitely be the king and manage the Black Ice Platform well."
"Bai Qing is doing things, so I can rest assured."
Ying Zheng thought about how well the Iron Eagle warriors were organized by Bai Zhong, so he didn't have too many worries, and said: "After returning from the expedition, Bai Qing can go and see Fusu. As you told Fusu last time, use a carriage
The example of hitting someone is very good."
Bai Zhong said: "I just want to change the young master's character as soon as possible. I just thought of an example and talked about it. I hope it will be useful."
"Bai Qing is humble again."
Ying Zheng could see that Bai Zhong's talent and learning were not bad, but he just refused to show them off.
After arranging the Black Ice Platform, Ying Zheng asked Bai Zhong to leave first.
Unknowingly, Bai Zhong found that he had drawn closer to Ying Zheng, and even the Black Ice Platform could be left to him. The conversation just now was less like a relationship between a monarch and his ministers, and more like an old friend.
It feels pretty good to be friends with the future Qin Shihuang.
He also knew that it was the arrow that made Ying Zheng see that he had no objections. However, the monarch's thoughts still changed very quickly. Even so, he could not drift away. What was like before would be like what happened in the future.
After all, I still have to stay in Da Qin, continue to earn achievements and gain merit points.
Since Ying Zheng has said it, he needs to meet Fusu.
Bai Zhong walked directly to Yichun Palace.
Fusu happened to be in Yichun Palace. He did not read those Confucian classics today, but practiced swordplay in the front yard.
Although he liked Confucianism and was benevolent all day long, he was not a weak scholar. Sima Qian recorded in "Historical Records" that he was resolute and brave.
Being kind, not warlike, not cruel does not mean cowardice.
These are all reflected in Fusu.
"teacher!"
When Fusu saw Bai Zhong coming, he put away his sword and bowed his hands in salute.
Bai Zhong said: "Young Master, you're welcome, what have you been doing recently?"
Fusu thought for a while and said: "I have put down the Analects for the time being, and I think what the teacher said makes sense. However, the teacher failed to come back from the expedition for more than half a year, so he hired a few guards to teach me martial arts and sword practice."
,Teacher, what do you think of my swordsmanship just now?"
Bai Zhong thought about it again and said: "It's useful, but when you encounter a real master of swordsmanship, you are vulnerable to a single blow. There are too many moves and it seems impractical to kill enemies on the battlefield. It's better to practice them on a daily basis."
"So that's the case!"
Fusu was a little disappointed.
Bai Zhong smiled and said: "Young Master wants to practice swordsmanship. I have a set of sword techniques that I can teach you. But I want to ask you one thing, what is the use of practicing swordsmanship?"
This question immediately made Fusu fall into deep thought.
As the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, he does not need to go to the battlefield or go out on adventures, and he is not a ranger. Learning swordsmanship seems to be useless in many cases.
However, Fusu really wanted to learn.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "Use the sword to level the world!"
"good!"
Bai Zhong didn't know if he was deliberately catering to him when he said this, but it was a good change for him to say this. He asked: "Master, have you ever thought about taking a walk on the battlefield?"
"May I?"
Fusu asked.
But when he thought about the fighting on the battlefield, he felt it was cruel.
Now that he had decided to let go of his Confucian ideas and change himself, he felt that he could not be afraid of the battlefield, and his eyes gradually became firmer.
Bai Zhong said: "If the young master wants to go to war next time, I will ask the king to take the young master with him in the army. However, the battlefield is very dangerous. Will the young master be willing?"
Fusu's eyes became firmer and he said decisively: "Yes!"
Bai Zhong said with satisfaction: "I will convince the king in the future, but I can't guarantee whether the king agrees or not. However, the young master has made such a change and has made great progress. The king will be very happy to know it."
"It's all well taught by the teacher!"
Fusu respected his teacher very much and bowed after saying this.
Next, Bai Zhong demonstrated Mozi's sword skills to Fusu in full.
Fusu has a high level of understanding. After reading it once, he remembered 70% to 80% of it.
Bai Zhong taught it twice more and he completely mastered it.
In less than half an hour, Fusu was able to skillfully use the entire set of sword techniques, a skill that many people envied.
After the sword teaching was completed, he left Yichun Palace.
Bai Zhong looked at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon. He would find a place to have something to eat before leaving the city, but not to the military camp, but to the place where crossbows were made.
More than half a year later, he wanted to know the outcome.
Not long after leaving Luoyang.
When Bai Zhong rode his horse past the edge of the woods, a strange feeling suddenly appeared around him.
next moment!
He lifted the reins hard.
The law!
The horse under the seat roared and stopped.
A wooden pole flew out just in front of the war horse and plunged deeply into the ground.
If the horse cannot be stopped in time, the wooden pole will penetrate the horse's head.
Before Bai Zhong could come to his senses, there was another sharp sound piercing the air beside him.
The second wooden pole came straight towards Bai Zhong, but as soon as it reached him, he reached out and grabbed it. When he looked up again, he saw a man with a sword on his back, sitting leisurely in the tree next to him.
On the branch, he looked up at the sky, as if he had no idea what was going on below.
"This friend is so laid-back!"
Bai Zhong threw the wooden pole upwards with all his strength.
That person was Gai Nie. He came to Xianyang from Handan and felt that the person he was looking for should be Bai Zhong, whom Ying Zheng had mentioned.
Therefore, he first approached Bai Zhong.
It's not for anything else, just for sword competition. Apart from swords, he has no interest in anything else.
Seeing the wooden pole flying up, Gai Nie pulled out the sword from his back and pointed forward.
Whoosh!
The tip of the sword just broke through the wooden pole.
He returned the sword to its sheath and said slowly: "Are you Bai Zhong, the person rumored to be in the Mo family?"
"Mo Family?"
Bai Zhong immediately thought that it was Li Ji who had passed his name to the people of the Mo family.
Thinking back to the tone of voice of the man in front of me, he should not be from the Mohist family, but he knew a few people from the Mohist family, so he knew who he was.
"Are you helping the Mo family and are you here to kill me?"
Bai Zhong asked curiously.
"No, just a sword show!"
As he spoke, Gai Nie suddenly stood up and drew out his sword again. The blade of the sword shone with a cold light and he stabbed towards Bai Zhong.
Bai Zhong turned sideways and easily dodged the sword, pulled out the horizontal sword hanging on the saddle, used the sword as a sword, and used Mozi's sword technique.
"dismount!"
Gai Nie drew back his sword, stepped on the horse with his foot, and used the force to get up. While he was still in the air, he struck out with his sword again, trying to force Bai Zhong off his horse.
"Land!"
Bai Zhong did not dismount, but quickly resolved the sword attack, and slashed Gai Nie down with his sword.
Gai Nie, who was still in the air, felt the sharp edge coming towards him. His face changed slightly, and he could only raise his sword to resist. In the end, he was actually pressed down by the sword and stood on the ground.
"It's good to use a knife as a sword! But after all, the knife is not a sword, and the feeling is different."
Gai Nie looked up and asked: "Do you have a sword? Let's really compete."
Of course Bai Zhong had a sword, but taking it out of thin air in the system space was shocking. Moreover, there was no killing intent or hostility in the man in front of him. He should have simply come to him to compete with him. He said, "I want to compete."
Chapter completed!
