Qi sinks in Dantian and circulates around the sky...
He Nan is practicing Qi.
Unlike the embarrassing scene when he used Qi for the first time, He Nan is now very clear that there is indeed Qi in his body. Even Watchman Dongfang, the "immortal master", has personally admitted this, and before he left, Watchman Dongfang I have also told you before that difficult things must be done slowly, and haste makes waste. If there is any abnormality in the body during the Qi exercise, then you must stop immediately.
Fortunately, He Nan is not a quick-tempered person. In addition, his personality is that he is "more afraid of death than getting stronger", so he practices unhurriedly and has not seen anything so far. abnormal.
The only thing that made him feel strange was that the Qi in his body was stuck here.
When a martial artist practices Qi, in addition to the most basic exercise of Qi, the second step is to release the Qi to the outside in order to be effective. However, He Nan was unable to release the Qi in his body anyway. When ordinary people practice qi, the most difficult thing is the first level, that is, how to find the sense of qi. After being able to move qi for a long time, they basically enter the stage of "how to use it", and it is difficult to pass the first level. It was so easy, but I couldn't get in before the second level. I have to say, it was really weird.
The master who led him to the Tao, Dongfang Tuo, has left his side, and He Nan doesn't know how to go further. When Wei Kui came to Shuihan County to visit him a few days ago, He Nan consulted Old Wei on this issue, but Old Wei But he also expressed his inability to do anything.
"Practice qi? What do you do with qi?" These were Wei Kui's original words.
"Brother Dongfang said that practicing Qi can lead to immortality. Don't all your martial arts masters practice Qi?" He Nan asked doubtfully.
"It's not necessary." After saying that, Wei Kuixin punched down, and where the punch pointed, a tall willow tree blossomed in the center, the bark was cracked, and the punch made a three-dimensional dent. More than an inch. "How easy it is."
Seeing this shocking scene in front of him, He Nan was speechless and could only say bitterly: "Not everyone is like you..."
In order to figure out the Qi problem in his body, He Nan really asked many people. There were many people who made suggestions, but no one could solve the problem.
Just be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, as long as you don't die anyway, He Nanru thought.
On an extremely ordinary day, He Nan was walking home carrying a late-night snack - he had not been busy with official duties recently, so his senior brother allowed He Nan to have a few days of leisure and happiness, allowing him to recharge his batteries.
Don't look at what He Nan did that is not stated in the book, but in fact the good public security in the county has been restored to a large extent because of him. On weekdays, apart from helping his senior brother to handle official documents, He Nan basically works in the dark. Being soaked in the prison, no matter how big or small the crime was, he had to at least go through it in the hands of He Nan.
In any case, through the joint efforts of these two senior brothers and the entire county, Shuihan County has really swept away the decline of the past.
Of course, when it comes to credit, the one who takes the greatest credit is Zhou Li.
Since he took office, every decision he has made can basically be said to be "against the consensus of the public." Pursuing old officials to account, purging bandits, rescuing refugees, and suppressing powerful people were all unthinkable in the former Shuihan County. Even if they were implemented in the three auxiliary areas of the capital, it would be quite difficult to implement them.
The most important thing he did was to re-register a large number of refugees with household registration and provide them with the opportunity to lease government land for farming. In this way, not only did these refugees not have to hide and flee or even rob their homes for the risk of making ends meet, but they could even reduce taxes in a disguised manner through this method. Zhou Xun also used this to rectify the security of the county and city, and also gained a lot of stable people. population.
From this incident, it can be seen that although they all came from the Shanhe Prefecture's academic class, He Nan's knowledge of law enforcement, punishment, and trial and judgment can be regarded as a special talent; while Zhou Yan is the kind of disciple who is really taught by Li Mastiff Chun—— You must know that Li Zhanchun did not get to where he is today just by relying on solving cases. Everything people like them do is more pragmatic, and the actual resistance to handling is greater.
He Nan was certainly a good man, but without Zhou Li's unwavering support and rectification behind him, he would not have been able to display his great abilities.
When future generations read history books, they will often take those heroic epics that span the world and have great heroic spirit as models, and they will also prefer those characters with distinctive personalities and sharp edges. Whether it is a powerful general who can defeat thousands of people, a counselor who has many ingenious strategies, or a king who can control the world, the impression left in people's minds will obviously be deeper. Even the historians can't help but focus on them when compiling classics and history. many.
However, the most powerful and famous generals also had to rely on well-equipped soldiers and food, and the majestic and heroic emperors could not help but rely on the shadow of their grandfathers. If there is no "thick accumulation" behind the scenes for many years, how can we talk about "thin hair"?
If there were not those pragmatic people handling government affairs that are mentioned in history books or seem boring but extremely laborious, there would be no so-called heroes and prosperous times.
Another extremely funny thing about history is that later generations will always use various unconventional psychology to overturn the verdict of the ancients who have long been nailed to the pillar of shame. They call those inhumane atrocities For the sake of "necessary sacrifices", those products of extravagance and lust are praised as "the sin is in the present time, but the merit is in the future".
People always imagine that if they were born in troubled times, they would be able to achieve great fame and great achievements. But if they were really born in troubled times, they would be nothing more than ashes under the city walls and in the rivers.
He Nan walked to the door of his house as usual, and when he was about to reach out with the key and push the lock, he found that the door had opened a crack for some reason.
Through the moonlight, He Nan could see a man sitting at the stone table in his yard, drinking by himself. He secretly placed his hand on the knife, and then quietly approached.
"Isn't it bad to come to someone else's house and eat and drink without invitation?" He Nan put the handleless knife on the side of the man's neck and looked down at the man's back, but he always felt that he looked familiar. . "Huh? Did you drink my wine?!"
The uninvited guest chuckled softly, turned around and pushed the blade away with his hand: "Long time no see... my ovary."
The fifth prince of the Sheng Kingdom, King Zhao Qidan, came to Shuihan City in person.
The moment he saw He Nan, or the moment he saw the handleless knife in He Nan's hand, Qi Dan was a little stunned, and then suddenly recalled something.
The moment he saw Qi Dan, He Nan's mood was difficult to describe in words.
It’s complicated. It must be complicated. There’s awe, fear, shock, and pain in the balls...
This mood directly affected He Nan's next action, or behavior - he actually ran away.
"Hey..." Qi Dan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop He Nan.
He Nan calmed down now, but he still ran away from Qi Dan, a few feet away, and then said in shock: "Your Highness, you... why are you here?"
He Nan did not ask Qi Dan such a stupid question as "Why do you know he is here?" After all, the person opposite was the prince. Isn't it easy to find out about this? If He Nan asked such a question, it would not only doubt the fifth prince's ability, but also insult his own intelligence.
"Why can't I come?" Qi Dan sneered, then put his hands behind his back, making an arrogant look: "Congratulations... It's not just once or twice that you want to use me. Do you think that this king will follow the instructions?" Do you do what you want?"
Qi Dan rarely shows off his princely airs in front of others, because he is not someone who likes to use his status to pressure others, but he feels very unhappy now.
In the letter that Chi Zebao brought back to him, He Nan pointed out a clear goal to Qi Dan, but did not give a solution. Instead, he used it to argue with Qi Dan; the letter that Zhu Zhaoer brought to him He Nan pointed out another goal to Qi Dan, but still did not give a solution. Instead, he wanted to lend his own hand to clear the obstacles for him.
You said, how can Qi Dan not be angry?
But Qi Dan is Qi Dan after all. Even if he is angry, his behavior will not be affected by his emotions.
"I said... in what capacity did you come here this time..." He Nan calmed down at this time and asked a crucial question.
Of course Qi Dan knew what He Nan meant: "Huh... do you think people here will know me?"
Yes, most people in the world have no idea what the emperor looks like, let alone the prince, so Qi Dan has been able to haunt the streets of the capital as Bai Wugeng, and this time he directly killed Sheng Sheng. Shuihan County in the northernmost part of the country.
"Hey..." He Nan sighed softly, then put his supper on the stone table, and finally sat down: "To be honest, I was prepared that you would be dissatisfied, but I really didn't I thought you would come here in person..."
"Don't forget, I have been lenient with you for a long time on the terms of our previous 'exchange'... Do you have to repay me?" Qi Dan was about a head taller than He Nan. At this time He stood upright and examined He Nan's expression.
"Painting... Of course you can, but you know... everyone has to come and go. It's rude not to go back and forth." He Nan rubbed his face with both hands and forced a smile. Come.
"Congratulations!" Qi Dan also laughed angrily, "What gave you the courage to bargain with me?"
Unexpectedly, He Nan did not directly answer the order, but unhurriedly unpacked his late night snack bag: "Do you want to eat?"
Inside the bag were two fist-sized sweet potatoes and some wild vegetables that I had never seen before.
"What is this?" Qi Dan stretched out his hand curiously, picked up a handful and looked at it.
"Qu Ma Cai." He Nan poured himself some wine, and then said calmly: "Maybe you don't believe it, but this is my courage."
…………
Sweet potatoes and this wild vegetable called Qumacai are common people's daily food. People in the north can smell it with their eyes closed in the vegetable fields, but Qi Dan, who is the prince, has never heard of it. Pass.
This was the reason why He Nan dared to engage in such a difficult fight with Qi Dan.
In layman's terms, it means that those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes.
And if He Nan said this, it would probably be "because I have nothing, so I never defend."
Seeing He Nan being so cool and unrestrained, Qi Dan couldn't help but laugh, and then sat down together, imitating He Nan's example, and stuffed the wild vegetables with purple veins on the green leaves into his mouth.
"It's a bit bitter..." After chewing twice, Qi Dan felt that the taste of this dish was very strange. He wanted to spit it out directly, but for some reason he forced himself to swallow it again.
"Bitterness is right..." He Nan poured a full glass of wine for each of them, "It's always bitter."
I don’t know whether this refers to the Qu Ma Cai mentioned by the two of them, or to people. If it refers to people, who is it referring to?
Before Qi Dan could figure out what He Nan was going to say, He Nan looked up at the stars in the sky, then raised his glass: "Spring is here, I'd like to toast you."
