Seeing that the woman was looking over, Gao Xiuer's heart suddenly moved. Liu Ziqiu once said that Xingyi kills people in a year. Counting her internal strength, she only has more than a month in total, so she will definitely not be able to kill anyone. If she wants to take revenge, she must find a sharp weapon. This palace
Is there anything better than a sword?
Thinking of this, Gao Xiuer smiled, took the initiative to greet her, and saluted, "Sister, you are good at swordsmanship."
Although the woman's sword dance was beautiful, her strength was weak. Her cheeks were already flushed and she was panting. It took a while before she regained her composure, and she smiled and said, "My sister got up early too."
Gao Xiuer's sharp eyes had already seen that she was practicing swordplay alone in the forest. Looking at her gorgeous clothes, it was clear that she was one of the 336 people just like herself. Since Gao Xiuer had intended to make friends with her, he started to think about it.
, turned around and saw that Fang Ling was indeed following him step by step.
Without needing to be summoned, Fang Ling hurriedly walked closer and presented the sweat towel to Gao Xiu'er. Gao Xiu'er handed it to the woman practicing the sword and said: "Sister, wipe your sweat. It's so early in the morning, there's no one around."
Follow.”
Those who can be classified as personal maids are also very good-looking, but not all of them are as smart as Fang Ling. The maids who followed the woman were dissatisfied and were still angry, so how could they accompany her out so early in the morning?
.
The woman sighed, wiped her sweat, and thanked her repeatedly.
Gao Xiuer smiled and said: "Sister, we are all people who have left home. We should take care of each other, so there is no need to be polite. We are destined to meet each other, so why don't we become sisters?"
Everyone who practices swordsmanship is somewhat heroic, and that woman is no exception, and she happily agreed. It turned out that this woman's name was Xue Ye'er, and she was from the Sixth Courtyard. Gao Xiu'er asked where she lived, chatted for a while, and said goodbye to each other.
, not mentioning the matter of borrowing the sword.
At three o'clock in the morning, another person was sent from the palace, but it was to teach the three hundred and thirty-six beauties the etiquette and dance music. In the fifteenth courtyard, twenty-one beauties stood in a row, and the less beautiful ones were
The comparison continued. In addition to Gao Xiuer, there were two stunning women, one named Xie Xiangwen and the other named Yuan Ziyan.
When Yuan Ziyan saw Gao Xiuer, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said nothing, and just followed her, taking her as her leader, which made Gao Xiuer confused.
After a while, the musicians lined up various instruments for the girls to choose from.
Xie Xiangwen picked a Yaoqin first and started playing it in front of everyone. Sometimes it was light and clear, sometimes it was calm and deep, sometimes soothing or exciting or solemn. The sound was melodious and clear, filling the air, with the fragrance of tea and wine, and the feeling of attachment and farewell.
It's as if it comes from outside, it's breathtaking.
Many of these beauties have talents, and there are not a few who are good at playing the piano. After listening to Xie Xiangwen's piano music, they all sighed to themselves.
Yuan Ziyan suddenly pushed Gao Xiuer and said, "It's time for my sister to show off her skills."
Gao Xiuer said with a grimace: "I can only settle accounts, but I can't do anything else."
She was replacing Shi Huiniang, and Shi Huiniang’s family ran an inn, so she would not reveal her secret by saying this. After hearing this, all the girls burst out laughing. Some people were already whispering, "The person in charge of this hospital is none other than Sister Xie."
No one else."
However, Yuan Ziyan quietly pulled Gao Xiuer aside and whispered: "I took a closer look at my sister's face. She is extremely rich and noble. She is far more than just a wife in charge. I wonder if my sister is willing to tell her birth date, so that my sister can calculate your future for you."
Gao Xiuer didn't know whether what she was planning would be successful. After hearing Yuan Ziyan's words, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, and whispered her birthday in her ear.
"Hey!" Yuan Ziyan counted her fingers, suddenly frowned, and said, "Sister, did you encounter a disaster a few days ago?"
Gao Xiuer shook her head blankly. She had forgotten that if Liu Ziqiu hadn't shot an arrow that day, she would have been split into two pieces by Yang Heihu.
"Since my master taught me this method, all my calculations have been effective and I have never failed. Why is this happening today?" Yuan Ziyan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I understand, I think you need the help of an expert to survive the disaster.
, there will be good fortune in the future, no wonder meeting each other in person is so precious!"
Gao Xiuer was full of questions and was about to speak when a musician came over to urge them to choose instrumental music, so they had to leave temporarily. Gao Xiuer picked a jade flute and Yuan Ziyan took a flute, and they each went to practice with the musicians.
It was getting late, and a full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the small courtyard as if it were daytime.
Liu Ziqiu sighed: "We can't go tonight!"
"There's no rush."
When Liu Ziqiu heard the footsteps, he knew that Li Jing was coming. He quickly turned around and said, "Brother, I know there is still a month, but Mr. Han..."
"Shi'er has returned to the army today." Li Jing shook his head and said, "He is a sensible person. If Miss Hou comes to the palace to figure it out, she will be as powerful as the sky."
"Then Mr. Han..."
"He just wants peace of mind. You have already taken a risk once, how can you do it again and again?"
Liu Ziqiu always felt that things were not as easy as Li Jing said, and Han Shi'er must really not let go of Miss Hou. Historically, he followed Yang Xuangan in rebellion, and maybe this was one of the reasons.
But I heard Hongfu Nu already shouting in the room: "Medicine Master, don't just talk. Please invite uncle in quickly."
"Yes, yes." Li Jing touched his forehead and said, "Brother, come on, let us two have a few drinks tonight!"
The table was filled with sumptuous food and wine, as well as three pairs of bowls and chopsticks. This was an era where men were superior to women. When he was in Yanguan, Gao Xiuer’s master and servant never ate at the same table as Liu Ziqiu. It was only later that Liu Ziqiu learned that men and women had different seats.
of rules.
Hongfu Nu obviously didn't take these rules seriously, she sat down carelessly and said, "Uncle, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, how about you try my sister-in-law's craftsmanship?"
Liu Ziqiu was stunned. No wonder there was such a big moon outside. It turned out to be August 15th. Reunion during the holidays was a luxury for the special forces. He had long been accustomed to such days, but others were different. In the draft
Yang Guang is really inhumane when it comes to women, can't you just wait two more days?
Hongfu Nu didn't know that Liu Ziqiu was thinking wildly, but she saw him silently lost in thought. She couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and said, "Uncle, are you laughing at my sister-in-law for not knowing etiquette?"
Liu Ziqiu hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? My sister-in-law is a true hero, how can she be saved by an ordinary woman!"
Hongfu Nu also helped Liu Ziqiu fill a glass of wine and said, "In that case, uncle, please drink this glass!"
Li Jing remained silent, but Hong Funu was very enthusiastic. Liu Ziqiu suddenly felt something was wrong, stood up and raised his hands and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, what do you have to say?"
"I just told you, uncle is a cheerful person!" Hongfu Nu laughed loudly, "It's not your brother's fault, I asked him to ask. Uncle has been at home for two days, and we don't even know where he is from.
…”
Li Jing is an open-minded person. Since he has become a brother with Liu Ziqiu, he will not care about his past. However, Hongfu Nu was a little worried when she saw that he was talented and bold.
Liu Ziqiu hurriedly said: "It's all because of my negligence. My eldest brother, sister-in-law, and my younger brother are from Yanguan County, Yuhang County. Because my sister was lost in Luoyang, I came here to look for her."
"Yuhang County? That's in the south of the Yangtze River." Li Jing was slightly startled, then suddenly stared at Liu Ziqiu and asked, "Then where did you learn how to use cavalry?"
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "There is a saying that I don't know if I have heard of it. The person who knows a person best is not himself or his friends, but often his enemy!"
Li Jing lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "There is some truth in this statement."
"It's not a score, it's a wise saying!" Liu Ziqiu said boldly, "If you want to deal with the powerful cavalry in the north, you must first understand them."
When talking about these contents, Li Jing's interest obviously increased and he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Xian, have you ever thought of any way to deal with the cavalry?"
Liu Ziqiu quickly searched the memories in his mind and mused: "Of course the best way is to use cavalry to deal with cavalry. At that time, Zhuge Wuhou designed many methods to deal with cavalry, such as horse nails and crossbows.
It has a certain restraint effect. It can also make the ground uneven and can also delay the movement of cavalry. But these are just passive defenses and not a good method."
Li Jing asked: "Did Brother Xian come up with a better way?"
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Brother should have heard of Mo Dao."
"Mo Dao? Of course you know, there are some in the army."
"Form a square formation and advance like a wall to defeat the cavalry! However, in my opinion, the best way to deal with the cavalry at any time is to form a more powerful cavalry."
Li Jing lowered his head and savored Liu Ziqiu's words carefully, but he heard Hong Funu ask: "Is it possible that uncle intends to join the army to earn some merit?"
This is an era that pays attention to family background. For example, Han Shier, because of Han Qinhu's relationship, has already achieved the status of a tiger-toothed general at a young age.
During the Sui Dynasty, the government army system was implemented. The whole country was divided into twelve guards. Each guard had one general, two generals, four tiger generals, and six tiger generals. The twelve guards also established Yingyang mansion throughout the country, with the chief officer Ying Yang.
General Yanglang, the second-in-command is General Yingshilang. In the army, every ten people form a group, five groups make up a team, two teams make up a brigade, and two brigades make up a regiment.
Liu Ziqiu is white. If he joins the army, he starts from an ordinary soldier, passes through team leader, team deputy, team commander, and brigade commander, and finally can only become a captain. If he wants to go a step further and become a general, that will be difficult.
Adding to the difficulty. Moreover, the army is a dangerous profession. Even with Liu Ziqiu's skills, there is no guarantee that he can escape unscathed in front of the two armies. Therefore, few ordinary people are willing to take the initiative to join the army unless they are drafted.
Hongfu Nu looks bold but is very delicate on the inside. She doesn't believe that Liu Ziqiu has the ambition to join the army. These words are still a test.
Liu Ziqiu knew that if he could not justify himself, it would be difficult to gain her trust. He couldn't help but calm down, raised his hands and said, "Brother, I wonder what you think of the current world trend?"
Li Jing was still recalling what Liu Ziqiu said about the Modao Formation, when he suddenly woke up and said: "The general trend of the world?"
Liu Ziqiu said sternly: "Building the canal, building the Eastern Capital, and abusing people's power have led to the destruction of many people's families. Now there is a big draft of women, which separates the flesh and blood. If the emperor does not know how to restrain himself, the world of the Sui Dynasty will soon be in chaos!"
