In the crystal clear night, the moon with a piece missing hangs leisurely in the sky, and the Milky Way is like a belt. Looking up from the gaps in the woods, the night sky is like a blue sea.
"...Just like that, the story of Tian Long Ba Bu is over..."
On the forest floor in front of the ruined temple, a bonfire was burning. Ning Yi slowly finished the last part of the story, then shrugged and smiled: "I'm really accurate in timing."
Lu Hongti was at the side holding branches and throwing them into the fire. He was silent for a long time: "What happened to the Song Dynasty later?"
Ning Yi thought about it and rolled his eyes: "Then how do you know..."
"...What a boring story."
Time just fell silent. It was already the night of June 23rd, about to pass midnight, and it would be June 24th. In these nearly twenty days of getting along, most of what needs to be said has been said.
Lu Hongti taught him the internal skills he can use. If you practice slowly, you will get results. Ning Yi has already formulated a series of development plans for Lu Hongti's small bandit nest on Luliang Mountain. This is his
Things that you have been good at before should not be a big problem.
Of course, these plans and teachings generally involve everything from organizational division of labor to combat allocation to alliances and intrigues, but naturally they are not purely large company models or the three major disciplines and eight points of attention. These people in Luliang Mountain are actually
Most of them are village-style and family-style operations. It is impossible to establish mechanized rules and regulations. They can only make some subtle controls in a subtle way.
A relatively healthy and stable structure itself will also have great vitality and development power. A truly powerful regulator will often see the chain reactions that a small action may cause. However, Ning Yi could not go to Luliang Mountain in person, so at this time he only
Several key nodes can be designed for her. Once certain goals are achieved, a certain social structure under his command can be simply changed, and then the next step can be taken logically. Lu Hongti has only a hundred or ten people under his command.
Many changes after the simple division of labor can be predicted by Ning Yi. As long as Lu Hongti can establish and pass a few basic rules, he will be able to lead the development of this small organization in a healthier and more logical way. Similar to this time when everyone was clamoring to kill
The situation where Song Xian finally forced her to come out on her own should never happen again.
It is really difficult to finish a management course that can be learned and applied within a few days or more. This thing itself has no rules. Ning Yi can only talk about a few key principles, and then hopes that Lu Hongti himself
Her wisdom can be learned and put into practice. She is not stupid, and she also has strong martial arts. People with strong martial arts often have great personality charm in places like this, so it is not a big problem.
The basics of the organization account for half of it, and the other part is how to deal with the merchants and the other Luliang heroes around them, expand the living space of these people, increase mutual unity and cohesion, and some ideas and strategies for dealing with the Liao people.
Etc., etc.
This part of the plans and opinions is also quite complicated. Ning Yi has thought about it for a long time. For example, he can provide partial protection to merchants passing by his territory and earn fixed resources. When his influence is slightly larger, he can contact some bosses in the surrounding mountains to negotiate this.
Part of the matter, of course, is how to collect resources, how to distribute them, how to supervise them, and how to achieve fairness. This is the most important. Ning Yi also gave some principled terms and supervision methods, which were copied into a booklet by Lu Hong with a brush.
If Lu Hongti can bring these things back, his influence will naturally increase.
For example, forming three to four elite five-person teams is a very purposeful training method for special forces. Some hunters or bandits in the mountains and forests have outstanding personal abilities, but when it comes to division of labor and coordination, they must be purposeful and specific.
Strong training is impossible in the mountains. Lu Hongti will train this group of people as hard as possible, give them good treatment, and also divide the small group into a privileged class. Of course, there must be positive principles to restrain them, otherwise the privileges will be afraid
It can only bring negative consequences, but if directed correctly, this privilege can also inspire enthusiasm in others.
For example, ask the old man who can tell stories to tell more stories about the brutality of the Liao people, talk about one or two heroic figures who fought against the Hu and the Liao, and served the country with loyalty, and try to talk as little as possible about the legends of mountain spirits, wild monsters, and foxes. You can even find a special person
For a person with such talent, there is no need to be deliberate. As long as Lu Hong mentions a few simple words, the other party will naturally say such things in the evening. Simple control and incitement of public opinion may seem simple at first, but under careful control,
In the long run, it will increase cohesion and centripetal force.
Most of the things that could be thought of and some future developments were copied in a small notebook. Ning Yi didn't want to do this for the sake of confidentiality. Lu Hongti didn't know much about literacy, but according to her, there was a grandfather in the village who was
Not bad, and very knowledgeable. In the past, she had to ask the other party for advice on many things. At this time, she had to take the notebook back and show it to him before she could do anything. However, this was probably only for one reason. On the other hand, Ning Yi found that she probably
She regarded this kind of thing as a military book tailor-made for Lu Liang, and prepared to take it back to Lu Liang. I saw her looking at the booklet very preciously several times.
No matter what, with her ability, she should not lose this and get herself involved. And it is indeed difficult to understand everything mentioned in more than ten days. If she can bring a textbook back, she can have a real
With the help of someone you can trust, these things will not fail. So I made a two-part agreement with her.
"First, this book has nothing to do with me. You have never been entertained by the Bloody Hands. Second, you must be a truly selfless person and trustworthy before you can show it to him and ask him to point you to the one you mentioned.
If Grandpa Liang is really 70 or 80 years old, has no heirs, no power, and selfish desires, it shouldn't matter. Of course, if you pick the wrong person, I want to say, it won't have much to do with me, but you may not have your seat soon.
You may be tricked by someone. At this time, I just hope... that you can save your life. Don't force anything, save your life, and run away..."
"You, a scholar, know so much..." After finishing the story, Lu Hongti thought about it and felt sad for a while, "To be honest, I didn't think so at first, but now I suddenly think...
It would be better to take you back to Luliang."
Ning Yi laughed there: "I know some crooked ways, and you think highly of me. To be honest, I don't know whether these things are useful."
"It's not evil, I can tell it clearly." Lu Hongti shook his head this time, and after a while, he said, "Will you be an official in the future?"
"It is not easy for a married woman to be an official. Moreover, the objects I have studied are probably what others say are crooked."
"By the way, tell me about that day in A Chinese Ghost Story. That day... I couldn't hear the end."
"Don't tell me." Next to the bonfire, Ning Yi flatly refused. Lu Hongti was stunned for a long time: "Why?"
"Don't die. I'll tell you next time I see you again."
Lu Hongti thought for a while, first smiled, then turned his head and snorted coldly: "Sleep." Then he lay down on the grass behind him.
Ning Yi took the smoking leaves and smoked the mosquitoes for a while, then fell down, and the stars were flowing above his field of vision. Lu Hongti opened his eyes and looked at the sky for a while: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"Mosquito-repellent incense." Ning Yi said, "I've almost been fumigated to death these days. When I was at Su's house, the smell of mosquito-repellent incense was actually not good. There is a small amount of arsenic in the current mosquito-repellent incense, which is probably harmful to the human body. I'm here
I wonder if there is a better mosquito repellent incense formula. This one should be relatively simple. Unfortunately, I have never dabbled in it before. It is very painful. Without good mosquito repellent incense, MSG is also difficult to make..."
Ning Yi was chattering away as usual, talking about his words about investigating things. Some of them could be understood and some could not. Lu Hongti lay there and smiled, just listening, listening,
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally fell asleep like this.
Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow.
When he got up the next morning, he said hello, washed his face, and cooked porridge as usual. When he went to fetch water, Lu Hongti felt that his face was a little dull, so he adjusted it a little by the water and went back to play a simple set with Ning Yi.
Afterwards, the two of them had breakfast and sat on the steps in front of the ruined temple for a while without talking. The morning gradually passed, and at a certain moment, Lu Hongti finally stood up and went to the ruined temple to get a baggage and carry it on his back.
Walk out of the temple gate.
"I'm going back to Luliang." She smiled, "I still have to tell you something."
"Um?"
Amid Ning Yi's doubts, Lu Hongti smiled a bit as if he was playing a prank with pride: "Although you like martial arts very much, you can't become a first-rate master. At most, you can only be a second-rate master."
I have said this several times before, but Ning Yi sneered: "I have told you before, right? I just like to be a second-rate master. I am content with it. I have no intention of becoming a first-rate master. I don't even want to be a first-rate master."
"This is because you refused to tell me about A Chinese Ghost Story last night, so I told you." Lu Hongti smiled and walked forward until she stopped in front of a big tree over there. The trunk of the big tree was about
It was as thick as a bucket, and the sunlight was shining from that side. Lu Hongti turned around and said, "Do you know what a first-rate master can do?"
After saying this, Ning Yi saw her eyes condensed, her clothes lifted up, and her figure was like a taut slingshot, pushing forward with a bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a huge impact sound three times in a row, and then, Ning Yi saw her turn around, her skirt swinging in a circle in the air. At this moment, she seemed to be walking without even a single step, and then, behind her,
With a "clicking" sound, the entire trunk of the big tree had been broken, the crown began to tilt and fall, the branches and leaves were fluttering, the wind pressure spread in all directions, and the early morning sunlight shone over from there, covering her.
Bask in the sunshine.
"You're not doing this right..."
Looking at that spectacular scene, Ning Yi was stunned for a long time, and then he murmured and shook his head. Lu Hongti seemed to laugh happily in the light and pink: "I'm leaving."
"etc."
"Um?"
There was a pause on the other side, and Ning Yi breathed out: "I regard you as a friend."
"..." Lu Hongti looked at him, waiting for the next words.
"So... I won't go to Luliang Mountain with you, but if you are in trouble, you can come to me... So if something happens, remember not to die.
There was silence for a long time, and then he nodded: "I will wait for the day when I can eat that roast chicken in Luliang Mountain. You must also remember to ask your friend to open the store over. Take care."
"Take care of yourself."
He watched the figure turn around and go down the mountain, gradually disappearing in the light, and could no longer be seen. Then he stretched his body and looked back at the ruined temple behind him. The mountain wind blew over. After a long time, he came out of his arms.
He took out a booklet and flipped through it. It contained the internal skills and mental techniques that Lu Hongti had left for him.
"In the end, I got it..."
He may not feel much pride when he said this. He patted the booklet, sighed, then put the booklet into his arms again and walked down the mountain.
His left hand was still bandaged, but after twenty days of rest and internal strength training, he was now in good spirits. After a while, he turned out of the small road and onto the main road. When Jiang Ning looked around, he noticed something. The road was ragged.
There are many more out-of-towners bringing their families with them. Thinking back, maybe the wave of victims that Qin Lao and Kang Lao mentioned is coming this way.
The situation was not serious at this time, and after entering the city, the feeling became a little less intense. He walked all the way towards the Su Mansion, looked at his bandaged left hand, and wondered how he should talk to Chan'er and the others.
What a good explanation. When passing a street corner, a carriage passed by. Su Tan'er's head suddenly popped out from the front. She looked back at him and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop..."
"
The carriage traveled more than ten meters and stopped. Su Tan'er saw his bandaged left hand clearly, bit her lower lip, and then her head disappeared over the carriage for a moment, as if to say: "Li Heng is back.
"I jumped out of the carriage, and on the other side, Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er also jumped out of the car one after another.
Su Tan'er pulled her skirt and ran a few steps before slowing down. She seemed to be waiting for Chan'er Juan'er beside her to run over. She looked at Ning Yi's left hand and frowned slightly. After a while, three maids gathered around her.
People around Ning Yi were talking anxiously about his left hand. Ning Yi looked at Su Tan'er who was approaching and smiled helplessly. Su Tan'er breathed a complicated sigh of relief: "You're back?"
"It's okay." On the streets of Jiangning, the sun was shining brightly in the morning, Ning Yi said.
