(Thank you all for your monthly votes in advance. Thank you. I went out yesterday afternoon and it was raining when I came back. It was a tragedy. I collapsed before finishing coding in the evening. Make a fist, I will definitely not owe you an update, and I will update as quickly as possible.)
There are two campuses in the Royal Palace Campus, one is the Xiyuan Grand Campus, and the other is the Dongyuan Elementary Campus. The Department of Ceremony and the Imperial Guards Department perform exercises in the Campus Ground, and the Imperial College School teaches in the Small Campus.
After lunch, Dao Chi changed into his short shirt and went to the primary school with Hu Tou and Lu Bing.
Looking at Lu Bing's appearance, he and Hu Tou have become very familiar with each other in the past half month. He kept making gestures with his hands and talking to Hu Tou about a move he learned a few days ago. Hu Tou just listened and occasionally responded to a word.
Lu Bing didn't feel bored with these two words, he could still speak them lively, and he didn't forget Dao Chi. From time to time he would say "What do you think, second brother?"
He was also well-behaved. In front of the prince, he called Dao Chi "Brother Wang"; in private, he never took his last name, but he was sincerely close to Dao Chi.
The three of them arrived at the small school grounds in a lively atmosphere.
In addition to Lu Dian, there was also a middle-aged man standing in the school yard. He was in his forties, with a sinister face and a vicious look. When he saw Dao Chi and Lu Bing, he looked like two chicks; however,
When looking at the tiger's head, the man's eyes showed a bit of heat.
This man was a member of the imperial family, his surname was Xing. Dao Chi had seen him during the prince's funeral. He was said to have been in the imperial army. He had a very high rank in his early years. He was demoted for offending his superior, and was later transferred to Anlu.
Although the rank of the palace guard is only 100 households, because the prince values him, no one in the palace guard despises him. It is said that his skills are among the best among the palace guards and palace guards, but Taoist idiots have no chance to see him.
Xing Baihu didn't pay attention to Dao Chi and Lu Bing. He directly lifted the tiger's head and said, "The knife for you is ready. Come and check it out." After that, he opened a linen bag with great interest. Inside was
A large unedged machete.
An ordinary machining knife is only a foot and a half long. This machining knife is two and a half feet long, and the back of the knife is thicker than an ordinary machining knife.
Tiger Tou's eyes lit up, and he held the handle of the knife with joy on his face.
Xing Baihu narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said to Dao Chi: "Now that I have a knife in my hand, do you want to learn how to use the knife with me?"
Hutou touched the blade of the sword, with "I like" clearly written on his face, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned back to look at the Lu family, his son and the Tao Chi.
Lu Dian endured his depression and forced out a smile: "His Highness has already nodded and said that it would be more appropriate for Mr. Xing to teach you."
Hutou thought for a moment and nodded slowly, not because of Lu Bing's words, but because he saw Tao Chi nodding slightly.
Although Dao Chi didn't know why Hu Tou was taught by Xing Baihu instead of Lu Bing, he was happy that Hu Tou could get such a master to teach him.
Xing Baihu glanced at Lu Dian and the others, took Hutou to a corner of the teaching ground, and began to teach Hutou.
Lu Dian touched the heads of his son and Dao Chi with his big hand, exhaled and said, "Starting today, we will also learn swordsmanship."
He originally wanted to practice for three hours and start teaching weapons, but Xing Baihu took the initiative to ask Ying to teach the tiger-head machete, which messed up his plan. He felt aggrieved, so he called for three waist knives.
.
Three of them were not sharpened, so they were obviously prepared for them to learn how to use weapons.
Weighing the sword in his hand, Dao Chi was very happy, and looked at Lu Dian with a hint of eagerness.
Lu Dian felt better after seeing him. He looked at Dao Chi and said, "Learn sword skills carefully. If you really get good at it, you might want to abandon literature and join martial arts."
The Taoist idiot just laughed and didn't speak.
In the Ming Dynasty, military positions were hereditary. He was from a private household, so it was not easy to get promoted to the military ranks.
As he said this, Xing Baihu and Hutou had already begun to practice.
The sound of "papa" made everyone tremble in their hearts.
Lu Bing's eyes narrowed, and Lu Bing's face became a little more worried, but Dao Chi's attention was on Hu Tou, who stood there with no intention of avoiding it.
Xing Baihu held the unedged machete in his hand and slapped the tiger's head with the back of the knife.
Lu Bing pulled Lu Dian's arm and whispered: "Dad, hurry up and stop him. The tiger's head will be beaten."
Lu Bing shook his head and said: "This is the method of Lu Baihu's disciples, don't talk nonsense."
Xing Baihu's words were faintly heard: "Open your eyes and don't blink... To use a knife, you must first get used to it, instead of being afraid. If you don't have the guts to face the enemy, then why learn the sword..."
Lu Dianruo realized something, looked down at Lu Bing and Dao Chi, and slowly said to them: "Today I will teach you all the way to the Plum Blossom Sword!"
This sword technique didn't sound very powerful, but when Lu Dian explained it, Dao Chi was horrified.
This is clearly a set of murderous knife techniques, including head wrapping, brain wrapping, smearing, and stabbing, all of which are aimed at the area above the neck. Needless to say, as long as you get a knife, you will never get away with it.
Lu Bing was fond of martial arts, but it was his first time to learn weapons. He paid full attention to it and could not think of anything else.
Although the Taoist idiot didn't understand Lu Bing's intention, he was very attentive in learning it. No matter what, it is always good to learn this set of sword techniques and multiple ways of self-defense.
While Xing Baihu was teaching Hutou, he occasionally glanced over and watched the movements of Er Xiao's hands. He looked at it carefully and twitched his lips when he looked at Lu Dian.
For the next half month, Dao Chi and Lu Bing would learn swordsmanship at the school grounds every afternoon.
Lu Dian was not in a hurry when it came to the twenty-six moves of the Plum Blossom Knife. He would explain one move to them every day and let them practice with the sword at other times. Although the waist knife he prepared for the two of them was not as heavy as the mountain knife from Xing Baihu, , but for the two young men, the weight is not light. For the second child, it is also important to practice.
The date set by the Zhang family was the eighteenth of this month, and Dao Chi had already greeted the crown prince.
Thinking that Hu Tou had lost weight due to Xing Baihu's training these days, Lu Bing also thought about leaving the house several times, so Dao Chi took Hu Tou and Lu Bing with him. In addition, they had already reported to the Crown Prince. Wang Qi, on the afternoon of the 17th, the four of them left the palace together.
They spent the night outside and returned to the palace tomorrow night.
Lu Bing was very excited. This was the first time in his life that he slept out.
Mrs. Wang Ning knew that her grandson would come back from leave today, so she had prepared a lot of food and was waiting for her. Seeing the tiger head, Wang Qi, the old lady became more kind and kind to Lu Bing, who had just arrived.
Lu Bing also fell in love with this place all of a sudden. He felt that the old man was kind and amiable, Sister Shunniang was beautiful and gentle, and the snacks were fresh and interesting. However, no matter how much he liked this place, he was dragged away by Wang Qi.
There is really no room for guests in the outer ninth house. If Lu Bing doesn't leave, he can only arrange for him to live in the south hall. Thinking of this, Wang Qi became warm and coaxed Lu Bing's house to go to his house and made an appointment with Tao Chi tomorrow morning. The two of them came over to help.
Dao Chi's bed in the outer room was not dismantled. After accompanying the old lady and Shun Niang to finish talking, Dao Chi took the tiger head back to the room.
When Hu Tou rolled up his sleeves obediently and exposed a pair of arms, Dao Chi felt a little sour when he looked at the redness and swelling on them. He took out a box of ointment, applied it to Hu Tou, and asked softly: "Does it hurt?"
"
The tiger head nodded.
The Taoist idiot silently applied medicine to him, but didn't say anything about not learning. In the past half month, he had gained a deeper understanding of the Xing Baihu Taoist idiot from Lu Dian's insinuations.
Xing Baihu is from the northwest. He was originally a civilian household. The place was attacked by horse bandits and all his family members died. He joined the army and participated in the suppression of bandits as a military household. He was promoted from a small soldier to a fourth-rank guard to command the general affairs.
, I don’t know, I killed a lot of horse bandits, which made the place a lot quieter. However, because I offended the villain, I was demoted several levels, and finally I was transferred to Anlu to work as a hundred households.
Xing Baihu taught Hu Tou's sword skills, which are not fancy, clean and sharp, and are killing people. He is also known for his strength, so Hu Tou can get his teachings, which is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern.
The prince values Hutou so much, and will probably keep him as his personal guard in the future. No matter how strong Hutou is, but his hand skills are not good, he is just a piece of meat; if he is stronger, the danger will be less.
"Study hard, it will be good for you." Dao Chi put down the ointment in his hand and said sternly to Hu Tou.
He knew that Hu Tou could understand what he meant and there was no need to be verbose.
Hutou nodded and said: "Yes. If it's good, you can also learn."
After saying that, he stood up, raised his hands and began to make gestures.
Although Dao Chi had no intention of learning the art of heavy swordsmanship, it could be seen that Hu Tou was interested, so he watched carefully.
Hu Tou's reaction was originally much slower than that of ordinary people. Xing Baihu did not try to encourage others to do anything, and it took him more than ten days to teach Hu Tou only the four starting moves.
Hu Tou gestured very slowly in front of Dao Chi, but Dao Chi still felt the sharpness in it.
It is also a killing sword technique. The moves that are summarized from killing people are different from those fixed and inherited moves.
The Plum Blossom Sword allows one to move with the sword, but Xing Baihu's sword technique combines the blade and arm into one.
The Taoist idiot looked at it and seemed to have some enlightenment.
Early the next morning, before the guests came to the door, the eighth old lady brought her two daughters-in-law. The two families were not only neighbors, but also relatives. Knowing that there were few female relatives here, she came to help.
A short while later, the carriage from the clan's house also arrived, and not only Wang Qi and Lu Bing, but also Wang Zhen and Grandma Zhen got off. Following closely behind was the carriage from the twelfth house, Rong Niang and San Lang's sisters and brothers.
arrive.
In addition to the close relatives of the Wang family, two female relatives from the old lady's natal Ning family also came to help. Two neighbors, including two who had contact with the outer ninth house, also came to help.
The outer nine rooms were so crowded that it seemed even more lively.
When the Zhang family's players brought the betrothal gift, it actually amounted to twenty-four loads.
Not to mention a small household like Waijiufang, even for a lady from an official family, such a betrothal gift is not light.
Some people were speechless, some made sarcastic remarks, and some people murmured whether Waijiufang was selling his daughter. After all, it is well known that Waijiufang's family was poor, and Shun Niang and Dao Chi were married one after another.
They are all big things.
If Shun Niang's dowry is not enough, she will be unable to support her husband's family; if the betrothal gift of Taoist idiot is not complete, it will not be possible to have a serious marriage.
When Wang Qi and San Lang heard these sour words, their faces looked ugly; Wang Qi could hardly help but wanted to make a move, but was still held back by San Lang. After all, it was a good day in the outer nine rooms, and if there was a fuss, everyone would look bad.
Sanlang made up his mind to be kind and kind to his sister when he returned home. He must help Dao Chi buy a rich family fortune before he grows up, arrange a decent marriage for him, and never let others laugh at him...
