In the room, Yuan Qing was lying on the bed. Although he was brave, he was inexperienced in facing the enemy. During the melee, he was slashed on the back with a knife. Although the injury was not serious and no muscles or bones were broken, the wound was still bloody and shocking.
Shen Qiuniang cleaned his wound with tears in her eyes. She used salt water. Every time she wiped it, it made Yuan Qing tremble with pain, which made Shen Qiuniang extremely distressed.
"Yuan Qing, if you don't bear it any longer, there will be trouble in the future if the wound is not cleaned!"
"Auntie, I know, just wash it, I'll be fine."
Shen Qiuniang gritted her teeth and quickly washed his wound with salt water and used Yang's wound medicine to make an ointment. However, Yuan Qing stopped her and said, "Aunt, other medicines won't work. You must use my pills. Give me one pill orally." Dissolve two pills with wine and apply to the wound."
Niu Niu immediately ran out and got the pills. Shen Qiuniang first broke the walnut-sized pills into pieces, fed Yuan Qing with wine and drank them. Then she soaked two pills in medicinal wine into a paste and applied them carefully on Yuan Qing's back. on the back.
Yuan Qing felt like his whole body was on fire, and all his meridians seemed to be twitching. This was the effect he had every time he practiced at the bottom of the lake. He was a little surprised. Could it be that the master said that fighting is the best way to practice martial arts? ?
But he didn't know that the reason why Zhang Xutuo's technique is called Bai Zhan Gong means to kill the enemy in battle. During the battle, the blood flows rapidly, and every tendon and every muscle is mobilized. Even if the skin and flesh are injured, it will not hurt. Healing injuries can also make the medicine fully effective. If the breath can be adjusted in time, it will be of great benefit.
After taking the medicine, he felt extremely sleepy, his vision went dark, and he fell asleep.
Seeing that he was asleep, Shen Qiuniang quickly covered him with a quilt, waved to Niu Niu, and the mother and daughter quietly left the room.
In the room, Yuan Qing slept very soundly. The power of the medicine evaporated rapidly in his body, and his meridians were adjusting, making his whole body extremely light. In his sleep, he had a feeling of ecstasy, and the wounds on his back hardened and began to scab.
.......
He slept until noon the next day before waking up. The pain in his back had disappeared. He felt full of energy all over his body, and the strength of every joint seemed to explode. He actually felt like he had been reborn.
In fact, this is a critical transition from quantitative change to qualitative change. He trained hard and took pills, which accumulated the potential energy in his body to the edge of change. At this time, an external force is needed to promote the transformation, which corresponds exactly to the fight of the servant. With this external force, coupled with his timely use of elixirs and deep sleep, a qualitative change finally occurred.
Of course, this does not mean that he has broken through the stagnation period, but that his skill has been improved and his strength has increased.
This feeling surprised and delighted Yuan Qing. He had not had this feeling of being transformed for almost two years.
"Brother Yuanqing, are you awake?"
Niu Niu walked in with a bowl of porridge and said with a smile: "You snored so loudly last night!"
"No! Do I snore?"
Yuan Qing scratched his head in embarrassment, "I remember that I never snore. You heard me wrong!"
"It didn't happen before, but it did happen last night. It was like thunder. I blocked my ears before I fell asleep."
Niu Niu made a face with an exaggerated expression.
"Haha! I'm so sorry. Where is aunt?"
"Yang Xuanting took my mother to the Daxing County government office to change her registration. They went there for a long time, huh! Those guys actually apologized to my mother."
Yuan Qing knew that this was his grandfather's order, but Yang Xuanting was a nice person and was usually very kind to him. As long as his aunt and Niuniu could escape from slavery, he would be willing to be punished by his family.
His stomach suddenly growled. Niu Niu smiled and quickly sat down beside his bed to help him get up to drink porridge.
"I'll do it myself!"
Yuan Qing sat up slowly. He felt that the pain in his back had completely disappeared. He was very surprised. Niu Niu also nodded quickly, "Brother Yuan Qing, your medicine is very good. Last night, my mother also used one to apply to wounds. When I got up in the morning
All the bruises have disappeared, which is really amazing.”
"I'll give you a few hundred pills from now on. Eat first!"
Yuan Qing took the porridge bowl. It was the minced meat porridge that his aunt had cooked for him. He ate it very sweetly. In a blink of an eye, he drank the whole bowl of porridge, handed the bowl to Niu Niu and said with a smile: "One more bowl!"
"Why!"
Niu Niu took the bowl and ran out happily. At this time, she heard her timid voice coming from the yard, "What...are you doing here again?"
"Haha! I'm here to see my grandson."
Yuan Qing had long felt someone's footsteps approaching. He didn't think much about it, but he was startled when he heard the sound. It was his grandfather coming.
"Niuniu, don't be rude!"
A dark shadow shook in front of the door, and Yang Su had already walked into the hut. It was now the noon break, and for most of an hour, he would occasionally go back to the house for dinner, but today he was thinking about Yuan Qing, so he took advantage of noon time to visit him.
Yang Su looked around Yuan Qing's room. This was his first time here. Although he knew that Yuan Qing lived in poverty, he didn't expect it to be so difficult. There was not even a table.
After a while, he couldn't help but feel angry at Zheng's meanness.
Yuan Qing understood what his grandfather was thinking, and he quickly explained, "Grandpa, I have saved a lot of money after hunting, but those who learn martial arts must live a hard life. Although a comfortable life is good, it can easily make people feel tired and lose the hard work of practicing martial arts.
heart."
"You're right! I suffered a lot when I was practicing martial arts when I was young. After I was twelve years old, I started to indulge in wealth and wealth, which made me lose the perseverance to practice martial arts. In the end, I failed to make a breakthrough in martial arts, which is a lifelong regret."
Yang Su sat down next to his couch, smiled slightly and said, "How is the injury on your back? Lie down and let me take a look."
"It's no problem."
Yuan Qing lay down and Yang Su took off his middle coat and saw that the wound on his back turned black and formed a hard crust. He was stunned and said, "Did he heal so fast? The scab formed overnight."
"My master's medicine heals injuries very well, and I have a good constitution, so I recover quickly."
Yang Su nodded, not paying attention to the elixir, and said to Yuan Qing, "What happened last night, although you were in self-defense, you also injured dozens of family members, bumped into your grandmother, and violated the clan rules. You will definitely be punished appropriately."
It’s inevitable, I hope you can understand.”
"My grandson understands. Last night my grandson was extremely angry and lost his mind. He is willing to accept the family punishment. I also ask my grandfather to tolerate my fourth uncle."
"I just let him run the farm and didn't abuse him."
Yang Su smiled and explained that although he comforted Yuan Qing last night, he was the clan leader after all and could not break the clan rules for one person. The punishment must still be punished.
"I discussed with several clan elders last night, and we all decided unanimously that you will not be allowed to participate in clan sacrifices for three years. Do you have any opinions?"
"My grandson has no objection!"
Yuan Qing felt relieved. Being banned from participating in clan sacrifices might be serious to others, but it didn't matter to him at all.
Yang Su sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "Although you are young, you have a mind that is inferior to ordinary people, and you can practice martial arts hard. I thought about it again and again last night, and I decided to send you to Guozixue, and worship the great Confucian Wang Long as your teacher.
You can't just learn martial arts, I hope you can be both civilized and martial, able to stabilize the country and govern the world, so that you can inherit my career in the future."
Although his grandfather wanted him to study literature, Yuan Qing had his own ideas. If he had been in the Zhenguan period, maybe he would have agreed, but the world was about to be in chaos, how could he go back to study? If he wanted to survive in troubled times,
He only has martial arts skills.
As soon as he thought of this, he tentatively asked: "Grandpa, my grandson wants to join the army, but I don't know..."
"Absolutely not!"
Yang Su flatly refused, "You are still young and cannot join the army."
Or maybe he felt that his tone was too harsh, so he softened his tone and persuaded: "Don't be stubborn, listen to my arrangement, first go to the Guozi School to study for eight years, and you can practice martial arts at the same time. When you reach the age of eighteen and become a man, if you
If you still want to join the army, I can arrange a military position for you, let you achieve military merit, and then transfer to a civilian position. Then your promotion will be much faster than others. My grandfather has already thought of it. If you follow my arrangement, you can be promoted at the age of thirty.
General, you can become prime minister at the age of forty. At that time, the prosperity of the Yang family will depend on you and Jun'er. Yuan Qing, you must listen to your grandfather's arrangements?"
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Qing's mouth. After studying for ten years, the Sui Dynasty was about to perish, but he couldn't say this. He pondered for a while and then asked: "Is there any war in the court recently?" Ren was the same, and couldn't help but laugh,
But I also feel gratified that people who are different from ordinary people are called geniuses.
"Yesterday the Holy One summoned Prime Minister Gao and I. The Dulan Turks may attack Datong City. The court has been discussing this matter in the past two days. Whether to use this opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Turks. This will be a large-scale counterattack. It is very likely that
I'm going to war."
Yuan Qing was refreshed and asked quickly: "When will the decision be made?"
"Tomorrow morning! There will be an inner court meeting, and this matter should be settled."
Yuan Qing couldn't hold back his inner excitement and said in a pleading tone: "Grandpa, take your grandson to the war! I have been looking forward to fighting the Turks for a long time."
"Impossible!" Yang Su flatly refused, "After the Lantern Festival, you will go to the Guozi School to study."
