War was raging all over the Central Plains, but in Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, it was a peaceful scene. After all, Chang'an had never been affected by war since Luo Yang took control of Chang'an. As the people of Chang'an, they can live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy this troubled world. Rare peace.
In the backyard of the General's Mansion located in the central area of Chang'an City, as the successor of General Luo Yang, Luo Gan, who is only six years old, is diligently practicing archery under the guidance of Huang Zhong. As the first general under Luo Yang's account, as the At an advanced age, he had withdrawn from various military campaigns in Luoyang and became Luo Gan's full-time martial arts instructor. Huang Zhong was also full of praise for Luo Gan's martial arts talent, and even taught him everything he could.
"Whoops!" As a sound broke through the air, the arrow flew out from Luo Gan's hand, hitting the bull's-eye not far away. Of course, Luo Gan was only six years old now, and what he used in his hand was just like a toy. A wooden bow was used, and the distance between the target and the target was only ten steps away. However, this was already a very good performance for Luo Gan. Huang Zhong on the side also smiled and praised: "Young Master's archery skills have already improved." You have made a lot of progress! Haha, compared to the incompetent boy in my family, it seems that the young master is the only one who can obtain the true inheritance of the archery skills of the last general!"
Xiao Luogan slowly retracted his wooden bow and turned to look at Huang Zhong. His face was very calm and unbefitting his age. He smiled and said to Huang Zhong: "The old general is too praised! Others don't know, but How could I not be clear about it? When the old general mentioned Brother Huang Xu in front of others, he felt very proud! I heard that this time Brother Huang Xu went to pacify the Xiqiang under the orders of his father, and won consecutive battles, beating the Xi Qiang. The Qiang army is retreating steadily, I believe it won’t be long before Brother Huang Xu returns in triumph!”
"Haha!" After hearing what Xiao Luo Gan said, Huang Zhong could not hide his smile, but he said: "Young master, please stop praising that brat! If these words make that brat When the boy heard this, wouldn't his tail be raised to the sky? They are just some barbarians. Even if they win the battle, it is not a big deal! But it is the young master's ability. With the young master's current talent, sooner or later he will have to do it. When my lord goes to the battlefield, I am afraid that everyone in the world will be amazed by your talent!"
Regarding Huang Zhong's praise, Xiao Luo Gan didn't have any expression befitting his age. He just smiled lightly, threw the wooden bow in his hand to the servant next to him, and then said: "Old General! Over the years, I have always been learning my father's spear skills, but I heard that in Western Qin, the old general's sword skills are better than my father's, so does the old general also want to teach me sword skills?"
Regarding Xiao Luogan's question, Huang Zhong was just stunned, and then shook his head and said: "Young Master, to be honest, my master's spear skills are definitely not inferior to the general's sword skills. It's just that the master's physique is not as good as the general, and the general The sword technique was acquired by the general during his adventures back then. Only with the unique power of the general can the power of the sword be fully unleashed! The same set of sword techniques has been completely taught to Huang Xu by the general. But if Huang Xu doesn't have any special adventures in the future, he will definitely not be able to surpass the general's skill! On the contrary, the master's spear skills seem simple, but if he studies it carefully, the young master will find that it contains many martial arts truths! So the young master It would be more appropriate to practice the master’s spear skills!”
"Oh!" In terms of martial arts, Huang Zhong was indeed a great master, and Xiao Luo Gan also followed his advice. He narrowed his eyes, tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Since we want to practice spear skills, then I hope to learn from all kinds of marksmanship in the world. I heard that General Zhao Yun studied under Master Tong, the gun prodigy of Donglai, but I don’t know if I can ask Master Tong for marksmanship?"
What Xiao Luo Gan said made Huang Zhong sigh with emotion. No matter how good the conditions his parents and teachers create for him, if he does not have the mentality to become stronger, he will not be able to reach the top in the end! And Xiao Luo Gan Obviously he has this mentality of pursuing the best. With his attitude, when he grows up, he will probably be able to take over the lord's career!
And just when Huang Zhong looked at Xiao Luo Gan and was filled with joy, suddenly a sweet voice came from outside the yard: "Gan'er! Gan'er! Come play with your sister! Gan'er!"
Hearing this tender cry, both Xiao Luo Gan and Huang Zhong were stunned, and then they immediately showed helpless smiles. In the entire general's palace, the only one who could do this to Xiao Luo was probably Xiao Luo Gan's sister, Luo Yang's precious daughter Luo Yang. It's over! Sure enough, just as the coy voice had settled down, a petite figure appeared at the door of the yard. Who else could it be if it wasn't Xiao Luo Yue? After Xiao Luo Yue saw Xiao Luo Gan, she immediately ran over, She smiled sweetly and shouted: "Qian'er! Sister is so bored! Come play with sister!"
Different from being strict with Xiao Luoqian, Luo Yang's attitude towards Xiao Luo Yue can be described as doting. This is not to say that Luo Yang does not value his only son. On the contrary, it is precisely because Luo Yang values himself as the heir that he is strict. It required him to grow up, which resulted in Xiao Luo Qian having such a calm character at such a young age. And Xiao Luo Yue, who was doted on by Luo Yang, could be said to be the treasure of the entire General's Mansion, and it could be said that no one would care about him. She spoke louder, so Xiao Luo Yue acted like a normal seven-year-old girl. In front of Xiao Luo Gan, it seemed that Xiao Luo Yue was the younger sister and Xiao Luo Gan was the older brother.
Quickly running to Xiao Luo Gan, Xiao Luo Yue immediately grabbed Xiao Luo Gan's hand, her eyes smiled like crescent moons, she tilted her head to Xiao Luo Gan and said: "Gan'er! Let's go to the street. !I heard that there is a street meeting in the west of the city today, and there are many, many fun things! You practice this and that every day, I’m afraid you are too bored, sister, come and take you out to play! "
Bored? I’m afraid it’s you, Miss Luo, who is really bored! The servants and maids around you all felt this way in their hearts, but no one of them dared to say it. Huang Zhong, who was next to him, smiled. Hehe stepped forward, cupped his fists and bowed to Xiao Luo Yue: "I have finally met the eldest lady!"
"Oh! Grandpa Huang is here too!" Xiao Luo Yue discovered Huang Zhong at this time, and seemed to be a little surprised and covered her mouth. But hearing Xiao Luo Yue's name, Huang Zhong's face became extremely strange. In fact, judging from her age, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Luo Yue, who is only seven years old, calling Huang Zhong, who is in his fifties or sixties, grandpa. However, Huang Zhong refuses to accept his elders and usually talks about being friends with Zhao Yun and others as equals. It seems that he is as young as Zhao Yun and others. Although Xiao Luo Gan is young, he has a lot of thoughts. He can naturally see what Huang Zhong is thinking, so he always only calls Huang Zhong the old general and Huang Xu the big brother, which is considered acquiescence. Although Huang Zhong's seniority was unknown, little Luo Yue was innocent and said whatever she thought. She naturally called Huang Zhong grandpa when she saw him. But in this way, this seniority was completely messed up.
Although Huang Zhong would definitely get angry when he heard this kind of name, but facing Xiao Luo Yue's innocent and cute appearance, Huang Zhong couldn't express his temper and could only silently accept this "Huang Zhong" "Grandpa".
However, Xiao Luo Yue couldn't care about that much. Instead, she tilted her head and said to Xiao Luo Gan: "Come on! Come on! Gan'er! If you go late, you won't see anything interesting!" As he said, Xiao Luo Yue took Xiao Luo Gan's hand and ran outside.
Being pulled by Xiao Luo Yue, Xiao Luo Gan ran a few steps outside involuntarily. Xiao Luo Gan also turned to Huang Zhong with a look of helplessness and shouted: "Old General! Today's class will end here for now! Thank you, Old General!" This sister's request was almost impossible for Xiao Luo Gan to refuse. It happened that Fazheng and others who were teaching Xiao Luo Gan's literature class today had something to discuss with Luo Yang and could not come to teach Xiao Luo Gan. Xiao Luo Gan simply had half a day to spare. Yes. At this point, Huang Zhong didn't have any objections. He just saluted Xiao Luo Gan. Before he could say goodbye, Xiao Luo Gan was pulled out of the yard by Xiao Luo Yue and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Huang Zhong had to With a wry smile on his face, he resigned.
And Xiao Luo Yue pulled Xiao Luo Gan and ran all the way to the front yard, for fear of wasting time, but Xiao Luo Gan had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his health was much better than Xiao Luo Yue's, so even if he was beaten by Xiao Luo Gan Yue pulled him, and he didn't feel any discomfort. He just smiled and let his sister toss him around. After running for a short distance, Xiao Luo Gan suddenly realized that something was wrong, and looked at Xiao Luo in front of him with a puzzled face. Yue asked: "Sister! Why are you in such a hurry? We still have to wait for the guards to get ready. Also, I just practiced archery and I need to change my clothes. Should I wait until I change my clothes first?" Let's go!" As he said that, Xiao Luogan touched his clothes with his hands, and they were indeed full of sweat stains.
After hearing what her brother said, Xiao Luo Yue looked anxious. She stopped, turned around and said, "No! No! We can't delay! If the Cai people find me sneaking out, then..." Halfway through her words, Xiao Luo Yue realized that she had spilled the beans. She quickly covered her mouth with her small hands and looked at Xiao Luo Qian with her big eyes blinking.
Sure enough! Xiao Luogan said with a wry smile: "Sister! My father arranged for Mr. Cai to teach you your homework, but it was for your own good! How could you sneak out?"
"Oops!" Now that she was seen through, Xiao Luo Yue stopped pretending. She waved her hand and took Xiao Luo Gan's arm and started acting coquettishly: "Qian'er! It's not like you don't know what Cai's family taught you. , I don’t want to learn at all, either needlework or handwriting, it’s so boring! Besides, today is the last day of the Chengxi Street Meeting. If you miss today, the street meeting will have to wait until the next one. It’s been a month! Good job! Just consider it a good deed and accompany your sister to play in the west of the city!"
