It was late at night when Marquis Gao Yuan came out of the sword house that was temporarily used as a prison. She looked kind when she left, but was extremely serious when she came back.
She did not return to the terrace, but stopped at the door of Jianlu, called Xingji and Tang Zhao over, and said, "Things have changed. I have to go back tonight."
Tang Zhao's heart sank, knowing that Zhou Chengzhi must have said something terrible, completely disrupting Marquis Gao Yuan's plan. It was a matter of great importance, so naturally he was not good at asking questions. He just waited with Xing Ji for the arrangement of the king.
Marquis Gao Yuan glanced at Xing Ji and said, "Xing Ji is coming back with me. I still need you for this matter."
Xing Ji crossed his hands, Gao Yuanhou looked at Tang Zhao again, his expression softened slightly, and said: "Originally, we planned to let Xing Ji stay for a few days to teach you in private, but things changed and we had to let him go back. In this way, let Qianli stay and teach you."
Qianli is Chi Qianli, the name of Deputy Commander Chi.
Tang Zhao responded: "Official affairs are the most important thing, and you don't need to worry about your subordinates."
Marquis Gao Yuan was very satisfied when he heard his claim, and smiled and said: "It is still necessary. The predecessors planted and the next will reap. All the swordsmen under my command must pass on the inheritance, otherwise it will delay the future of one of my own. Although Qianli is also a new swordsman, but he is Coming from a serious Prosecution Bureau, you have learned everything you need to learn, and you are trained step by step, which is the same as what Xingji learned. Of course, Xingji also has some private goods, and they will naturally be passed on to you sooner or later. When you start, you have to be orthodox first. .”
Tang Zhao should be. Deputy envoy Chi had no objection. Although he was a serious swordsman and had personally captured a crucial imperial prisoner, he was only the deputy envoy of the city inspection department and a minor local official. It was his turn to participate in real major events. Teaching Tang Zhao is a task personally assigned by Junhou, and he must go all out.
Marquis Gao Yuan said nothing more and asked Tang Zhao and Vice Envoy Chi to go back first.
Tang Zhao went back and mentioned the matter to his master, feeling a little heavy - a storm was coming, and the wind was blowing all over the building. This wind must be a strong wind or a hurricane. He couldn't guess what big secret Zhou Chengzhi revealed. It must have involved the safety of a state, so he asked Marquis Gao Yuan to go back and arrange it in a hurry. Maybe a big change was coming.
However, he is still in the stage of "even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up", and it is not his turn to worry about big things.
Sure enough, Marquis Gao Yuan went down the mountain overnight and took away not only Xing Ji but also Ping Jiang Qiu. Although Ping Jiangqiu had no official position, he was recruited by Xing Ji, sent by Marquis Gao Yuan, to rescue him from the jar. He was given a sinecure position in the Marquis' Mansion and was raised in the Governor's Mansion, naturally for the purpose of using the army for a while. But he is not a front-line combatant, and he is not needed for ordinary tasks. Marquis Gao Yuan even asked him to leave, which shows that the situation is serious. Presumably there will be a swordsman-level general mobilization in Yunzhou soon. Not all swordsmen from the local government will be active, but most of the available strength will be used.
Although it was an emergency, Marquis Gao Yuan still took the "sword" away before leaving. The exchange plan proposed by Tang Zhao was approved. Marquis Gao Yuan took away the source of disaster sword first. As for the "Jie Crow" sword that Tang Zhao wanted, Xue Yeyu came to Zhongtian Mansion to get it.
This is not a matter of money, but Marquis Gao Yuan will not take advantage of Zhuoyu Villa, not even for the sake of two promising swordsmiths. Asking Xue Yeyu to go to Zhongtian Mansion to get the sword originally meant that if the Jie Crow Sword was not suitable, other swords that were suitable could be taken away. This can be regarded as protecting Xue Yeyu's future as a swordsman.
Now Zhuoyu Villa has a very close relationship with Gao Yuanhou, and Gao Yuanhou is very happy to see Zhuoyu Villa gain more strength.
After bidding farewell to Marquis Gao Yuan, this sword-making conference has come to an end. Everyone's friends also came down the mountain within a day or two. As for Wang Fei, I didn’t see him the day Marquis Gao Yuan left. Either he left with Marquis Gao Yuan, or he returned to Kungang secretly to achieve his purpose. The number of people who know such higher-level things is becoming increasingly limited, and if you don’t know, you shouldn’t take the initiative to ask.
Tang Zhao did not tell everyone that he was a swordsman. After all, this kind of thing is shocking to the world, and it’s nice to cause a wave of shock by saying it. Who knows what unpredictable things will happen? Only old man Xue can do this kind of thing. However, when Tang Zhao was involved, Xue Xianyun also restrained his desire to show off. Even his own people didn't know much about it, and Yunxi Yan Tangzhao didn't tell him.
Yunxi Yan came all the way, and although he helped with some things on the mountain, he always felt that the sword-making conference was too hasty, so he still wanted to travel around Yunzhou with the sword. Tang Zhao thought that the current situation was unclear and he was afraid that she would be involved in the next big thing, so he advised her to go to a farther place to experience a more different scenery. Yun Xiyan thought for a while and decided to explore Liangzhou.
It happened that Chesha and Wusuntong from Baiduquan were returning to the north and invited Tang Zhao to come back as their guests. Tang Zhao postponed the trip on the grounds that there were still some unfinished matters. Yunxi Yan is very familiar with it, so I want to go up with them to see the scenery of Liangzhou grassland and desert. One hundred and eight springs are happy to associate with such a powerful force as Feitian Cave, and they are not allowed to do so.
After sending all the guests away, Tang Zhao and his senior brothers and sisters cleaned up Zhuoyu Villa, mainly to see if there were any secret passages leading directly to the heart, and to fill in these flaws. After going around in a circle, a few people blocked several paths and surrounded the remaining exits with magic weapon arrays, at least ensuring that the alarm bell would sound when someone intruded, giving the villa time to respond.
It took a few days to finish these things, and there were also a few aftermath matters, such as Sanyu's disciples moving back to their dormitories, cleaning up the mountain and Spring City, holding the Baiyu Shenghui auction, etc., but Tang Zhao was no longer involved. After all, Vice Ambassador Chi's time is limited. Although he has stated that he will not participate in major events, once there are changes in Yunzhou, local stability is also crucial. As a swordsman, he must go back to take charge. How can he stay in the mountains all the time?
Deputy Ambassador Chi actually took advantage of the past few days to go down the mountain. There was a lot of news to be sent back to Jichun City, including the turtle bandits, the Lord's orders, etc. After he finished reporting at the foot of the mountain, he turned back the next day and came to Tang Zhao's sword house to give him guidance on the practice of swordsmanship.
"This is our own teaching material for the Land Inspection Department." Deputy Chi opened a box.
Well, boxes.
Dozens of scrolls were stacked in a box that was three feet long and wide, and each scroll was filled with dense writing.
Tang Zhao was very surprised: "Are these all... Is the swordsman's practice so advanced?"
No, there is something wrong with what he said... Swordsman practice is of course profound and profound, but isn't swordsman practice extremely personal? Although there are some common experiences, and you will get twice the result with half the effort after learning them, but do you really need to read so many books?
Can all those swordsmen see it?
Chi Qianli explained: "There are only four volumes here that are the unified Kung Fu scriptures of Si Li. The swordsman's general formula, the sword yuan chapter, the sword heart chapter, and the swordsmanship chapter. The rest are the experience notes of predecessors. This is only part of it. .According to the rules of our inspection department, all swordsmen must leave their own experiences when they reach a certain level of cultivation. The headquarters will read all the experiences and select a well-written part to be published and sent to each prison. We and Chuncheng only have The number of those collected from this part and our own people is still limited. When you go to the headquarters, you can see all the experiences, and you can also see the collections of other yamen. These are all inheritance heritage. "
Tang Zhao nodded in admiration. The so-called brainstorming, even if the swordsman practice is so individual, it is still very useful for everyone to share their experiences. Maybe there is an answer to the problem you encountered in some book? Disciples of major sects are more likely to go farther and more steadily, which shows how important a complete and orderly inheritance is.
Tang Zhao opened the chapter on General Secrets and read it. Chi Qianli said: "Don't rush to read the book. There are so many books that I can't finish them in a while. Let me tell you, you have an idea. These books are all given by me. What you borrowed is only for half a month. I will stay for a few days and then go back. Let me talk about it first. You can see the rest by yourself when the time comes and return it when the time comes. There is only one, so don’t lose it."
Tang Zhao was very grateful. These books must be internal information of the District Procuratorate. With his position pending, he couldn't legitimately borrow them. Even if he could read them, he could only read the official four articles at most, and the rest were mostly experience notes. Can't borrow it. Deputy Chi thought very carefully for him.
But since it was a lecture, Tang Zhao still pulled out the general formula and put it on the table as a teaching material, and then took out his notebook and pen.
I feel like listening to the class this way.
"General Tips——" Although Deputy Chi said that he mainly said it himself, he still pulled out a book and opened it to read. This book was very systematic and could help him recall his memory and organize his thoughts.
"The first part is the key to mastering the sword. It starts from the swordsman. It talks about how to cleanse the mind, understand the sword's intention, and finally become a swordsman. I won't go into it. You can make up for it later. To be honest, you became a swordsman too quickly. There is no such precedent. Based on my level, I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a hidden danger. You are smarter than me and you can do your own research. Check for any gaps and fill in the gaps."
"Speaking of swordsmen. When we become swordsmen, we don't talk about swords, only talk about ourselves. The most suitable word is 'reborn'. This is not a description, it is true."
He picked up a dagger and slashed his hand, but it was like scratching a thick wall without leaving a mark, let alone breaking the skin. This is not like mortal skin.
"The so-called copper skin and iron bones, ordinary swords cannot hurt us. Of course, don't use magic weapons."
Chi Qianli said nonsense. When you become a swordsman, you have to face not only swords, but also magic weapons and aura. Which of these things can't hurt the swordsman? This kind of copper skin and iron bones are basically useless.
"There are many other benefits besides this, such as lifespan. Generally, those who practice martial arts and only practice external martial arts will not only not live long, but will also wear out the body and easily shorten their lives. If you practice internal martial arts, you will live longer, and you can live longer than eight or nine if you take your time. Ten years old. We swordsmen can reach a hundred. Live well and live to be a hundred and twenty-three no problem. Although not many people die of old age, they usually don’t get sick. If you have better luck, it’s not difficult to live to be a hundred and twenty-three."
"Also, becoming a swordsman will improve your spirit, your mind will be sharp, and you will learn other knowledge and martial arts faster. You can also stay up late, endure hunger, and go without sleep or food for several days without damaging your roots."
When he said this, he said seriously: "I am not talking about the benefits of being swordsmen. I am telling you that no matter how magical the sword is, or how integrated the sword is, we, as swordsmen, are the foundation of our cultivation."
