Early the next morning, Liu Xi dragged Yao Qi to the door.
At this time, Lantian was still staying with his wife and children in the back house. He had given full authority over the government affairs of Cangwu County to Xiahou Qi. Except for the occasional intervention from new yamen like the Medical Department, most of them were left to officials at all levels to do whatever they wanted, just like raising children. Only when there are opportunities for trial and error and the people below have enough room for growth will their abilities grow.
Lan Tian likes to constantly cultivate talents and let his subordinates share his work, instead of doing everything himself like Zhuge Liang. He didn't expect to die suddenly from overwork in ancient times.
A healthy working environment means everyone performs their duties. The county magistrate has the responsibilities of the county magistrate, and the state pastoralist has the affairs of the state pastoralist. This is like grabbing sand with bare hands. The harder you use the harder you grab, the less you catch.
Lan Tian was not working in the main hall, and Yao Qi did not dare to go to the back house to disturb him, but he was lucky enough to see Gao Yuan, the chief guard.
"General Gao, is Mr. Lan here with you now?" Yao Qi happily stepped forward and asked.
Gao Yuan had discovered the two of them a long time ago, but he complained that Liu Xi didn't know how to praise, so he didn't pay attention to them at all.
Now that Yao Qi took the initiative to ask, Gao Yuan replied coldly: "Sir, he has been working hard for Jiaozhou all day, and he is still resting in the back house..."
Yao Qi, who had experienced the world of officialdom, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Gao Yuan's expression, and immediately said with a smile: "Then let's wait for a while."
Gao Yuan continued to patrol the courtyard. When he walked a little further, Liu Xi smiled awkwardly and said, "It seems that the guard next to him was unhappy when I rejected the prince yesterday."
Yao Qi stopped him immediately: "Sir, be careful, this person is always with the Lord, he is not an ordinary bodyguard..."
Liu Xi suddenly remembered that it was Plateau where the horses were galloping that day, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What Brother Yao said is absolutely true, then let's wait for a while..."
Gao Yuan patrolled aimlessly and unknowingly walked into the back house. At this time, Lan Tian was doing morning exercises with his two sons. Although the climate in Guangxin was warmer than that in the Central Plains, it was still chilly in the early morning of the first lunar month.
Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi were playing Wu Qin Xi in the yard, while two children were practicing footwork nearby.
Lu Lingqi taught her son just like Lu Bu taught him. Before practicing weapons, he must first practice footwork and footwork. When he is older, he must practice riding and archery, and finally practice halberd technique based on marksmanship.
"Mother, when can we practice weapons? It's not interesting for me and my eldest brother to practice footwork. From now on we will fight on horses, so there is no use in practicing this, right?" Lan Ji became a little frustrated after practicing for a while.
Lan Tian stopped what he was doing and asked with a smile: "Do you want to learn Wu Qin Xi?"
Wu Qin Xi is a health-preserving skill, and it was not prestigious in that killing era, so Lan Ji showed a look of disgust. Upon seeing this, Lan Yuan said: "My mother said Wu Qin Xi was not powerful at all. She asked me to play it when I am older. When I am young, It’s better to lay a good foundation when doing it. Besides, Wu Qin Xi is quite simple, and both of us are familiar with it..."
Lu Lingqi glared at Lan Yuan and said to herself, "Why are you talking so much?" Your father got really good at practicing Wu Qin Xi. Hua Tuo's Kung Fu can be learned by anyone without having to practice it since childhood. It can be said that it is extremely easy to get started.
"Husband, don't listen to Yuan'er's nonsense, Wuqinxi is still very good..." Lu Lingqi explained quickly.
Lan Tian shook his head and smiled slightly: "Practice martial arts requires boy's skills. Xiaojun taught me a little late, and he was always busy in Jingzhou, so he chose Mr. Hua's Wu Qin Xi, but he insisted on practicing for half an hour every morning and evening. , I haven’t been sick very much in these years, and I still have lots of energy.”
"Yes, yes, Mr. Hua's Five Animals Play is very suitable for you." Lu Lingqi agreed.
"It's a pity that my sister is not active. Otherwise, she should learn the Five Animals Opera. She wanders around with her brother-in-law. I don't know if getting older will affect her." Lan Tian sighed.
"Mother, what martial arts are suitable for us now?" Lan Ji suddenly interrupted and asked.
Lu Lingqi found a small bamboo stick in the courtyard, then pointed at the two brothers and said: "I am using this bamboo stick as a weapon. You two only need to dodge from the front. If you can avoid being hit by the bamboo stick, I will teach you the weapon." "
"Okay." Lan Ji was overjoyed.
Lan Yuan asked doubtfully: "We are all children. Our mother's martial arts skills are so high. How can we stop..."
"Brother is right, why don't you let father do the stick dance?" Lan Ji suggested.
"How can that be done?" Lu Lingqi frowned.
Lantian thought that he could not be looked down upon by his son, so he asked for a bamboo stick from Lu Lingqi and said, "I will do it, I will do it. Xiaojun, please rest assured that you will be a husband with a sense of propriety."
Lu Lingqi would not prevent father and son from getting close. She was not worried that Lan Tian would hurt her sons. Instead, she was worried that the bamboo stick would be difficult to touch Lan Yuan and Lan Ji. After all, the two children had been practicing footwork for a year and were swaying around on the ground. As alert as a monkey.
"Husband, please use the dog beating stick method." Lu Lingqi leaned into Lan Tian's ear and whispered.
Lan Tian was startled when he heard this, "Those are all made up. There is no way in the world to beat a dog with a stick..."
"Ah? Is it true? Then be careful and don't underestimate these two brothers. If it doesn't work, just replace me." Lu Lingqi still didn't believe it.
At this time, Lan Yuan and Lan Ji were taking stances in the courtyard, quietly waiting for Lan Tian's stick attack.
Although Lu Lingqi has been teaching children basic skills since they were three or four years old, they are still weak children in Lan Tian's eyes. Lu Lingqi makes herself careful not to make sarcastic remarks, right?
He held bamboo sticks in both hands and warned with a kind face: "Children, be careful."
Lan Tian first used a bamboo stick to sweep through the entire army. He was worried about hurting the legs of his two sons, so he deliberately slowed down his attack speed. Unexpectedly, both Lan Yuan and Lan Ji easily dodged.
Lan Yuan and Lan Ji looked at each other and thought, this is too simple, right?
Seeing that the two of them had some skills, Lan Tian moved faster and faster, but Lan Yuan and Lan Ji dodged with ease. They attacked more than ten times in a row without touching the corners of the clothes of the two children.
How can this be? Lan Tian doubted himself a little. How could the two children be so sensitive?
"Husband, let me attack. It's not good to pamper them all the time." Lu Lingqi walked to Lantian to relieve him.
Lantian handed over the bamboo stick involuntarily. He wanted to say that he had really tried his best. In this large yard, there was too much space for the two children to move around, and his short bamboo stick could not reach it at all.
"Stop making the most important points." Lan Tian ordered.
"I can save it." Lu Lingqi nodded.
Lu Lingqi held the bamboo stick with a completely different aura. The bamboo stick looked like a spear or a halberd painted by Fang Tian. Her feet were blooming step by step. She twisted her slender waist to drive the strength of her arms, turning the 'weapon' in her hand into a part of her body. .
The bamboo stick is sometimes like a snake spitting out messages, sometimes like a roc spreading its wings, Lu Lingqi moves like a rabbit, walks like a dragon, and the intensive attack is as smooth as a dancing swallow.
Bang bang bang...
Lu Lingqi pressed, swept, stabbed, or picked. Although the children tried their best to dodge, half of the sticks fell on the flesh.
There is a saying: the stick in the hand of a loving mother can be struck by a wanderer, twelve sticks in one second, the stick will hit critically...
