"You are so angry that it affects your liver and kidneys. Every time you get angry, it gets aggravated. Has your anger gotten stronger recently?"
Under the elm tree in the second courtyard, the early morning sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting little spots of light.
Wei Da and Han Zhen sat cross-legged on the straw mat under the tree.
After this period of cultivation, the stab wound on Wei Da's abdomen has healed to some extent. Now he can walk, sit and lie just like ordinary people, but he is still unable to exercise strenuously.
In the past two days, with the help of Han Zhen, Monkey gradually began to get started and officially took over the management of the more than 2,000 prisoners of war.
The construction progress of the salt plant is also in line with expectations.
After he was free, he began to ask Wei Da for advice.
"really!"
Han Zhen thought for a moment and nodded.
When I first traveled through time, I didn't feel it was obvious. Ever since I killed Master Xu, there has been a faint trend.
Later, after killing the Xu family, Shi Bao, and the Daijun rebels, after every battle, I would feel a fire in my heart and want to vent it.
So much so that I have to go to An Niang every time to get some relief.
Ri An's mother has been very busy recently and has not had much opportunity. As a result, Han Zhen looked at Mrs. Han Zhang and felt something was wrong.
Several times, Han and Zhang were stared at until their faces turned red and they ran away.
Wei Dazheng said: "You are blessed to have a strong body and natural divine power. But there are gains and losses. Your body is far superior to ordinary people, and your inner fire is naturally more intense. In addition, you have been killing too much recently, which is like adding fuel to the fire. . In the long run, it will definitely affect the character of the mind."
"It's just too mysterious."
Han Zhen frowned slightly, doubtful.
Seeing this, Wei Da was not upset and asked instead: "Throughout the past and present, how many people with extraordinary talents and natural powers can die a good death?"
Han Zhen was stunned for a moment, his brain running rapidly.
Di Xin, E Lai, Nangong Changwan, Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao...
Looking at it this way, no one really has a good death.
this……
And if you think carefully, you will find that these people do have some personality problems.
After suppressing his thoughts, Han Zhen said curiously: "Wei Da, I heard Nie Dong say that if you learn this Taoist method, you can exert your whole body's strength with just a few movements."
Wei Da looked helpless and said: "County magistrate, please don't listen to that guy's nonsense, learn some superficial knowledge, and put the cart before the horse. This method of mine is just a method of breathing calmly, and there is nothing magical about it. Once a person is With a calm mind, your words and deeds will naturally be more composed than when you are happy, angry, sad, or happy.”
"A punch when you are angry is different from a punch when you are calm."
Han Zhen thought it was mysterious before, but when he heard this, he felt it made sense.
People's emotions can affect judgment and control of the body.
You know clearly that it is wrong to use force like this, but when you are extremely angry, you will forget these skills and choose to follow your instinct.
Wei Da's method, to put it bluntly, is emotional management. No matter what situation you face, you can keep your brain clear and make the most correct judgment.
It sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult.
Because emotions are human instincts and arise from feelings, it is not easy to restrain them.
"I want to learn, can you teach me?"
"It's great if the county magistrate wants to learn from himself."
I thought this was some undisclosed secret, but I never thought that Wei Da was extremely generous.
You know, in ancient times, even ordinary carpentry skills would be hidden, and only after the apprentices had served them with all their heart for a few years would they be taught some real skills.
Seeing his surprised look, Wei Da laughed and said: "The Taoist priest who taught me this method bluntly said that if anyone wants to learn it in the future, he can teach it. If everyone in the world could be calm when facing troubles, there would not be so many disputes. .”
After that, Wei Da started teaching from the most basic inhalation.
"When you first practice, divide your Qi into three sections, and blow up the Qi to fill the sky..."
"What is Tianguan?"
"Tianguan is the throat. The county magistrate inhales too quickly. Don't be impatient. Although it is divided into three sections, it should be continuous and continuous."
Wei Da taught with great care, and Han Zhen also studied with great care.
Regardless of whether he can really mobilize his whole body's strength after practicing it, just being able to control his emotions is worth learning.
Unknowingly, an hour passed and the sun rose higher.
After seeing that Han Zhen had mastered it a little, Wei Da warned: "This method is a hard work of water. It cannot be practiced overnight. If you are impatient, you will fall behind. Just practice for a quarter of an hour every morning. Over time, you will become better." You’ll get used to it.”
"Um"
Han Zhen nodded and made a mental note.
"County magistrate!"
Just then, a familiar voice came from the front yard.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang He's figure passed through the hanging flower door and walked quickly into the second courtyard.
When he saw Zhang He, Han Zhen knew that something big was going on.
Wei Da on the side stood up knowingly: "The county magistrate is busy first, I will go to the village for a walk."
After Wei Da left, Han Zhen asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Changzhi County asked me to hand this letter into the hands of the county magistrate."
Zhang He said, taking out a letter from his arms.
This is the disadvantage of living in Xiaowang Village. If something happens, people have to run in both directions, which wastes time.
After taking the envelope, Han Zhen habitually checked the wax seal first. Seeing that the wax seal was intact, he opened the letter.
After reading it quickly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Liu Mi is here.
After learning that the county magistrate under his jurisdiction was colluding with the bandits, he still dared to come in person.
Good guy, I really want money rather than my life.
Originally, Han Zhen thought that Zhao Ting and Liu Mi would at most send relatives or servants to negotiate. However, he did not expect that Liu Mi, the general magistrate of the state, would come to Zi County in person.
After folding the letter and putting it in his arms, Han Zhen ordered: "Go to the military camp and pass my order to Nie Dong to assemble his army and follow me to the county seat!"
"Got the order!"
Zhang He responded with cupped fists, turned and left.
Stepping back to the backyard, Han Zhen walked straight into the small warehouse.
In the small warehouse, Mrs. Han Zhang was busy counting a basket of copper coins and writing them down on paper with a pen.
There was no way, there was too much money in the small warehouse, and she was not good at arithmetic, so she could only use this stupid method to count a little bit.
Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Han Zhang couldn't help but turn her head.
Seeing that it was Han Zhen, she called softly: "Uncle."
"Sister-in-law, please be busy. I'll get some money."
Han Zhen walked to those large wooden boxes and picked through them, finally choosing two boxes of silver collars, gold beads, and two boxes of pearls and agate.
If calculated, these four boxes of jewelry can be worth more than 20,000 yuan.
Seeing Han Zhen dragging four boxes of jewelry out of the small warehouse, Han Zhang asked curiously: "Uncle, are you going out?"
Han Zhen nodded: "Yes, let's go to the county seat to meet guests."
Hearing this, Mrs. Han Zhang quickly put down her pen and paper: "Uncle, wait a moment."
After that, she trotted out of the warehouse.
After a while, Han Zhang came back again, holding a package in her hand.
She was panting slightly and said softly: "Since you are meeting guests, you naturally need to dress appropriately. I sewed this a few days ago. Uncle, please try it on to see if it fits."
After Han Zhang's reminder, Han Zhen realized that his dress seemed to be too casual.
The main reason is that the weather is too hot, so he usually wears a linen shorts to keep cool and breathable.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for taking the trouble."
Han Zhen smiled and thanked him, took the package and walked into the inner room.
When he opened the package, he was stunned.
Because it is not just one piece of clothing, but a complete set of clothing, including the outer layer of robe and shirt, the middle layer of half-armor, long-sleeved, and jacket, the inner layer of undershirt, and the lower layer of hakama and trousers.
The key point is that these clothes are not as simple as those of later generations. Each piece has laces, which makes people's heads ache just by looking at them.
No wonder those high-ranking officials need maids to serve them when they get up and get dressed. It is really troublesome to wear a suit of clothes.
He put on his obscene pants first, and then intuitively picked up pieces of clothing and put them on.
Halfway through, he felt something was wrong.
In desperation, Han Zhen had no choice but to call out: "Sister-in-law!"
"What happened?"
Han Zhang's inquiry rang out from inside and outside the room.
Han Zhen's tone was slightly embarrassing: "This... I don't know how to wear it."
"..."
Outside the house, Mrs. Han Zhang felt her heartbeat speed up.
Biting her lip gently, she walked into the back room.
Pushing the door open and walking in, Mrs. Han Zhang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
"Uncle, you don't need to wear a coat in summer, you only wear it when it's cold."
"I wonder why it's so hot."
Han Zhen quickly took off his coat.
He was still wondering just now, wearing this in summer, wouldn't he be covered in prickly heat?
Mrs. Han Zhang stepped forward, picked up an undershirt, and said, "If uncle feels hot, just wear an undershirt."
Han Zhen stood there quietly, opening his arms and letting Han Zhang help him get dressed.
The male scent that filled the tip of her nose made Han Zhang feel dizzy and her cheeks felt hot.
Han Zhen lowered his head slightly and looked at her condescendingly.
Han Zhang's facial features are very delicate, and her eyebrows are not as graceful as those of Jiangnan women, but exude an aura of innocence.
There is a small tear mole on the lower edge of the left eye. Instead of ruining the beauty, it actually adds a bit of charm.
Feeling Han Zhen's gaze, Han Zhang's heart beat faster and faster, and even her little hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.
After a while, Mrs. Han Zhang said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, get dressed."
"Oh, trouble sister-in-law!"
After coming back to his senses, Han Zhen lowered his head and took a look.
It has to be said that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
After putting on this azure brocade robe, his whole temperament immediately improved a lot.
His looks are not bad at all. Although he is far from a handsome man like Jianmei Xingmu, he is still handsome.
Wearing shorts and shorts on weekdays is too masculine and sturdy.
Now that I put on the brocade robe, I feel a little more elegant.
Han Zhang took a few steps back, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Uncle, he is very suitable for wearing a brocade robe."
Putting on a pair of thin-soled fast boots, Han Zhen explained: "Sister-in-law has packed up her clothes and luggage in the past two days and is preparing to move to the county with me."
"Um."
After Mrs. Han Zhang nodded, she suddenly asked: "Is An Niang going too?"
She regretted it as soon as the words came out of her mouth.
Han Zhen's movement of putting on shoes stopped, and he suddenly understood, and replied: "An Niang won't go for the time being, she still needs to keep an eye on the shop in Xiaowang Village."
"oh."
Mrs. Han Zhang nodded, feeling a surge of joy in her heart.
…
Carrying four boxes of gold and silver jewelry onto an ox cart, Han Zhen rode a war horse all the way to the village.
In the military camp, Nie Dong has finished reorganizing his army.
More than 600 soldiers were fully armed and stood tall and tall on the school field.
These soldiers thought that there was another battle to be fought, and every one of them looked extremely excited. Even the three hundred new recruits who had joined a few days ago looked eager to try.
Looking around, Han Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Leave a hundred people in the village, and the rest will follow me to the county seat."
"Got the order!"
Nie Dong responded and quickly arranged for nine teams to stay at the stronghold.
The soldiers who were left behind had grimaces on their faces, as if they were dead mothers.
When I think about other people killing enemies and receiving rewards, I feel even more uncomfortable than losing money myself.
"Set off!"
Han Zhen waved his hand and took the lead and left the stronghold.
