Chen Pingan learned what he had learned and put it into practice. He learned from the old general Lu Xiao how to pretend to be stupid and foolish, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in the old Taoist's words. By the time Chen Pingan had finished drinking, the old Taoist had disappeared from the courtyard.
The old Taoist is always elusive, and Chen Ping'an is helpless.
The sky was slightly bright, and the skinny little girl who was sleeping against the door of the woodshed had woken up, and she saw the rich man in white robe walking in the yard, with his eyes closed like a blind man, with one hand open, palm up,
Put it on your abdomen, hold a fist on your chest with one hand, and walk very slowly with small steps.
As if hesitating whether to punch her palm, she waited boredly, always feeling that he would punch her.
It would be better if this guy was really blind, and then he punched and slapped his palm and accidentally punched it through, it would be even better.
When she thought of this, the skinny little girl felt a little happy. Afraid of being seen through by him, she quickly straightened her face and deliberately yawned.
Chen Ping'an opened his eyes and removed that weird posture. He learned it from Ding Ying. The reason why he brought it out today was because he thought that when he met the wedding ghost, the blind one with two apprentices
The veteran Taoist learned the thunder method, which requires hitting the Qi palace with heavy fists.
A bit similar to Ding Ying.
Chen Ping'an did not look at the little girl, nor did he stop. He continued to immerse himself in the peak of Zhong Qiu's enlightenment, and said: "Go and see if Cao Qinglang's school is open. If Master
If the classes still haven’t been taught again, I’ll ask the nearby neighbors when the classes will start.”
The little girl bargained and asked, "Can I go after breakfast? I'm hungry and can't walk."
Chen Pingan said calmly: "When you come back, fill up the water tank in the kitchen and you will have food."
The little girl stared at Chen Pingan's side face. It didn't look like he was joking, so she yelled, deliberately staggered to her feet, walked around Chen Pingan against the wall, walked out of the yard, left the alley, and squatted at the corner of the street.
, squatted for a long time, and then ran all the way back to the door of the hospital. There was already sweat on his forehead. He bent down, put his hands on his hips, looked at the guy who was still walking, and gasped: "The door hasn't been opened yet. I asked someone."
Auntie, she said that the master was frightened by the previous fight and wouldn't open the door recently."
Chen Pingan remained silent and pointed to the kitchen.
The little girl went to the kitchen with a sad face and carried the smallest bucket. Fortunately, there was still more than half of the water in the well. If it was empty, she would not keep it even once. After going out, she lost the bucket and ran away. She walked to the door of the courtyard.
At that time, she heard Cao Qinglang's endorsement. With her back to the yard, she rolled her eyes and grinned with disdain.
Fetching water is really tiring.
When she returned to the yard with the bucket in both hands, she still clung to the wall, carefully walked around the man, and ran into the kitchen to draw water from the well, but she could only fetch less than half of the bucket. She felt tired along the way and
A lot of it was poured out. In fact, when she returned to the yard, the bottom of the bucket was no more than an inch of well water. She quickly turned her head and took a look. She didn't see the man, so she immediately lifted the bucket and gently scooped it out of the water tank.
Pick up half a bucket of water, then lift the bucket hard, tilt it, and pour it into the water tank with a splash.
Chen Pingan was well aware of all this, but he did not expose her on the spot.
Would you rather spend so much time being lazy than put in a little effort?
Cao Qinglang memorized a few articles from elementary school books, and then went to the kitchen to cook. Chen Ping'an said that he might be back very late today, and Cao Qinglang nodded.
Chen Pingan left the alley and passed by Zhuangyuan Alley. The house where Ding Ying and Demon Cult Ya'er stayed before was lifeless and obviously abandoned. The incense in Xinxiang Temple became increasingly scarce, and as for the morning exercises in the martial arts hall, it was more intense than before.
Working hard, there were shouts and shouts, and the old master who taught boxing had a particularly loud voice. It must have been the previous war. It not only made the common people feel terrible and felt that the world was not peaceful, but it also fascinated the people in the Jianghu. If there were no big winds and waves, would it still be called Jianghu?
?
Chen Pingan still didn't put on the golden lily and the brand-new green shirt robe when he went out this time. Firstly, the little lotus figure has not recovered yet and still needs a robe like a small cave. Secondly, Chen Pingan is not willing to show off in the market and even raise a child.
The sword gourds were all left in the house, leaving Chu Yi and Fifteen to protect the little lotus who was recovering from his injuries. However, the long sword Chixin and the narrow sword Zingxue were hung around his waist. In this way, he looked like a man who likes to wield swords and guns.
Ranger.
Chen Ping'an went to see Zhong Qiu to trouble the Nanyuan Imperial Master again.
Although the pile of books stolen by the little girl from the house were all ordinary books, and the two fairy books purchased by Xuanxuanshan were placed among the square objects, Chen Pingan still wanted to get them back because every
On the title page of this book, it is written where and when Chen Pingan purchased it, written in regular small regular script. These books collected from all over have different meanings to Chen Pingan.
It has nothing to do with what the Confucian sages said: There is a house of gold in a book, and there is a beauty like jade in a book.
Everyone knows that Zhong Qiu lives near the palace, but few people know the specific location of his seclusion. Fortunately, Chen Ping'an is now in Nanyuan Kingdom and is so famous that soon a master from Nanyuan Kingdom who was recruited by the imperial court showed up.
, respectfully led Chen Ping'an to Zhongqiu's residence, which is a quiet residence in Chongxianfang. Chongxianfang is the real foothold of the emperor. The gateway to live here is either rich or noble. The streets and alleys,
The green shade is thick, the place is peaceful and quiet, with a graceful atmosphere and strict rules. It is completely different from the crowing of chickens, barking of dogs, warblers and swallows over there in Zhuangyuan Lane.
There is no plaque hanging on the mansion, and it is not that big in Chongxianfang, just three yards into the courtyard.
Chen Pingan thanked the master who was responsible for leading the way. After walking in alone, Chen Pingan found that it was not deserted inside. There were many young faces busy, wearing official uniforms, and just following the official etiquette of Nanyuan Kingdom.
, they are just low-level officials with low moral standards and are barely in the upper ranks. Every room is full of people. Young people are holding documents and walking from house to house. Most of them are in a hurry. Occasionally, they are walking side by side, and they are all chatting.
When they saw Chen Ping'an wearing a hanging sword, they just glanced at it and didn't take it to heart.
Zhong Qiu stood under the eaves of the second main courtyard and greeted Chen Ping'an with a smile. There was also a young official who was reporting government affairs. After Zhong Qiu gave a rough answer and suggestions, the two of them had a brief and concise question and answer. The young official met
After arriving at Chen Pingan, he was obviously curious, but the Imperial Master did not reveal Chen Pingan's identity, and he did not dare to investigate in private, so he said goodbye and left.
Zhongqiu brought Chen Ping'an to the backyard. It was different from the lively and busy atmosphere in front. There was a cave in the wall. There was a large banana bush in the corner, so green that it wanted to drip. There was an old chessboard and chess box on the stone table.
It should be the residence of the imperial master. It is neither shabby nor luxurious, elegant and simple. Zhong Qiu and Chen Pingan are sitting opposite each other at the stone table.
Zhong Qiu said that the books on bridges have been collected and organized by officials from the Ministry of Industry. As for the resume and information of the scholar named Jiang, they should be sent to Chen Pingan tonight.
Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed and told him about the books that were stolen and sold at low prices. Zhong Qiu agreed with a smile.
Chen Ping'an took the initiative to speak, saying that the capital was in turmoil at the moment, and he had to trouble the Imperial Preceptor with so many trivial matters. He was willing to do something, and hoped that the Imperial Preceptor would just speak.
Zhong Qiu was not polite and said that he would like to ask Chen Pingan to help guide his two direct disciples.
It is not a public weapon for private use, but the disciples collected by Zhongqiu. After leaving the army, they must join the army and start as soldiers. They must stay in the frontier army for at least ten years. After ten years, if you are willing to advance in the army step by step, you should leave the frontier army.
Army, travel to the martial arts world, Zhongqiu is no longer bound, but if you choose to wander the world, you are not allowed to declare yourself to be a disciple of Zhongqiu. Once discovered, there is no need to discuss, I Zhongqiu can teach you all the martial arts, and I can also teach you all the martial arts.
Take back.
The two disciples who stayed with Zhongqiu were both young and had not yet graduated. They were extremely talented and high-spirited. Of course, their character was not a problem, but they had never really been in the world, so someone needed to suppress their spirit.
, Zhong Qiu has been under a lot of pressure in recent years. In order to cope with the Jiazi contract, especially to guard against Ding Ying and Yu Zhenyi, it is difficult to concentrate on teaching martial arts to his disciples. Zhong Qiu is worried that his two disciples, who have high hopes for them, will end up
All my life, I have been just a disciple of Zhongqiu.
Chen Pingan is good at everything, although he does not feel that he is qualified to be a teacher and teach others anything.
But Chen Ping'an didn't expect that Zhongqiu would take him to see the two disciples in person, so he couldn't help but ask: "Wouldn't it delay the Imperial Master's handling of affairs?"
Zhong Qiu smiled and said: "If I Zhong Qiu were not here, things would become a mess. It means that I stayed in the Nanyuan Imperial Court for so many years and did not do my job well. I only pointed fingers..."
At this point, Zhongqiu, who was taking Chen Ping'an away from the small door in the backyard, suddenly asked: "What should I do if the Prime Minister encounters a fight with passers-by on the road?"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "If it doesn't affect my business, I still have to take care of it."
Zhongqiu asked again, "Then?"
Chen Pingan shook his head.
Zhong Qiu said with a smile: "This official with the highest official status, according to what you said, can indeed take care of these trivial matters as long as it does not interfere with his own affairs. But the most important thing is that he should immediately reflect on himself and govern himself."
Why are there fights and fights on the streets within our borders?"
After thinking about it, Chen Pingan was convinced.
Zhongqiu and Chen Ping'an were walking on a secluded street under the deep shade of trees. In midsummer, many streets and markets in the capital were like steamers. It was so hot that people had no place to hide. But here, pedestrians felt even cooler. Zhongqiu sighed with emotion.
Said: "This is an allusion in a sage's book. The governor told the people around him that this matter is not my responsibility and should be held accountable to the officials directly under the central government. He should not act out of bounds. When I was young, I read this for the first time and felt that
It is enlightening and enlightening, but the more you read and the more you see people and affairs, you will inevitably have doubts and be puzzled by the solution.”
Zhong Qiu did not continue.
Chen Ping'an didn't say anything, just thinking that if Mr. Qi or Mr. Wen Sheng were here, they would definitely be able to solve Zhongqiu's problems and explain the truth clearly.
Zhong Qiu laughed, no longer worried, and talked about business with Chen Ping'an, "Yu Zhenyi has returned to the Songlai Kingdom sect and brought with him the Arm Saint Cheng Yuanshan who quietly left the city. At that time, everyone in the city except Zhou Fei who flew away
, Demon Cult Ya'er, Liu Zong, those of us who walked down the city have gained something. Yu Zhenyi seemed to have found a golden and jade genealogy, Monk Yunni got a piece of white jade lotus root, what Tang Tieyi got, the spies of the capital did not know
I found out that I, Zhong Qiuze, got an atlas of the Five Mountains. The things mentioned in the book are all things of gods and immortals. It tells how to enshrine the Five Mountains and gather the spiritual energy of a country's mountains and rivers. But I don't practice Taoism, magic, magic, and this book
To me, it is meaningless and very useless.”
Zhong Qiu sighed and continued: "Cheng Yuanshan missed the sound of the drum because he was hiding in the city, and ended up empty-handed. His disciples have been expelled, but if Cheng Yuanshan himself runs too slowly, I will keep him
Here, after all, Cheng Yuanshan is a man who will retaliate for his anger. He suffered such a big loss in the capital of Nanyuan State this time, and he will definitely encourage the prairie cavalry to go south to knock the pass to plunder."
Regarding this fairy book, it was still a hidden danger. Zhong Qiu couldn't destroy it, so he could only hide it carefully.
To be continued...
