The internal structure and layout of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is completely different from the residences of other important ministers and nobles. It is comparable to a maze. There are no rockeries, no corridors, no small bridges and flowing water, and there are no rare and exotic animals worth tens of thousands of gold. There are many traps and traps here, as well as winding and extremely dangerous alleys. You need to be more vigilant when walking up here, because the dangers on these roads are unknown. It is possible to fall into a trap. Even people like Shen Jiu who have grown up here and people like Xue Ruitian who hang out here all day long will be tricked once or twice a year, not to mention those outsiders who are not familiar with the environment!
Speaking of which, the fact that the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion can become so foggy and confusing is due to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. The two of them learned a lot about this from Marshal Qin, and they were very familiar with these things. Also extremely interested. When they were very young, they had already used their own courtyard to practice and tricked many people. When the two of them became the masters, the entire Zhenguo Palace fell into their "devil's claws", allowing them to do whatever they wanted. This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that these two people will suddenly rearrange the traps and traps on certain roads on a whim, catching others by surprise.
Therefore, even if Mao San'er, who enjoys "preferential treatment" in the Tianlao, can successfully climb over the wall and get in, he will be tightly trapped by the traps and mechanisms, and will not be able to get close to any of the expected goals. The consequences of being trapped are basically the same as being trapped in a sack outside the Zhenguo Palace, maybe even worse, because the traps are not empty, but filled with enough ingredients that will make people unforgettable for life. of.
Of course, there are also people who cannot be trapped by these traps and mechanisms. Apart from Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, the people who can successfully avoid them and are not affected by them are probably the shadows and shadow guards. First of all, these things are compulsory for them in the training camp. If they fail to pass, they will probably be taught a very unpleasant lesson by their boss. Secondly, their Qinggong skills are pretty good. If they really get lost, they can jump into the air. Standing high can see far. However, they were also a little worried. They were afraid that one day the Duke would lose his mind and ask their boss to set a trap on the roof, and they might cry to death. .
"Boss, the Duke of the State is coming to Zhuyun!" Ying Shisan, who was on duty at night, leaned out half of his body from the beam and smiled at Shen Cha who was sitting on the corridor reading a book, "Look at the Marshal's posture. , I guess he’s going to come to our place to do evening classes and have dinner, and he’s probably going to have some late night snacks here, and he’s probably going to have a drink with you, I think I saw Shi Fifteen carrying two wine jars in his hands!”
"I know." Shen Cha put the half-read book on the table and sat up from the recliner, "What's going on over at Mei Zhu?"
"I went to see him just now. The boy named Dai was quite tough. He was beaten to a bloody pulp, but he took it all without saying a word. Based on this, I respect him as a man!" Shadow Thirteen Jumped down from the rafter, "Boss, I think this boy named Dai is not particularly convinced. The way he looks at Mei Zhu is quite strange."
"He will be convinced. Hongye will teach him how to be a human being." Shen Cha looked at Ying Shisan squatting on the ground, "Even you are scared by Hongye, let alone a fledgling boy like him!"
"When it comes to Qinggong, let alone Jiaping Guancheng, even in our Daxia, there are probably not many who can surpass Hongye. I have always found her to be quite weird, and her kung fu is also weird. She is so sinister. She formed her own style by accident. I told her before that she usually walks silently, like a cat, and can scare people half to death in broad daylight. Boss, let her be the ghost this time. , it’s so late at night, let’s see!” Ying Thirteen stood up and stretched a lot, “I hope that boy can be more tough like he did during the day, and don’t stick out.”
"This also makes him remember. In the Shen Army, there are no men and women. There are only marshals, generals and soldiers. If you don't obey the orders, this is the result. As for whether he sincerely joins the army, I don't care, but he should I will regret it.”
"I think he must have regretted it now and wants to leave us as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that you, the old man, had no intention of letting him go at all."
"Since it is a good seedling, it is natural to cultivate it well and let it go. Wouldn't it be a waste? Go and tell the kitchen that the Duke's dinner will be sent to Zhuyun instead of Huqiu." Shen Cha looked at it. He looked at Shen Haolin who had already entered the courtyard and said, "Thirteen, when will Merlin come back?"
"Calculating the distance, we'll be there at noon tomorrow."
"I know, let's go!" Shen Cha nodded, looking at Shen Haolin walking up to him, and raised his eyebrows, "Brother is here to torture me?"
"We still don't know who is torturing whom!" Shen Haolin took off his outer cloak and warmed up, "Let's get started!"
If Shen Cha's boxing and kicking skills are considered to be among the best among masters, then Shen Haolin should be regarded as a rookie who has just started.
I am afraid that the entire Daxia people will not believe that the famous Marshal Shen inexplicably developed uncoordinated problems with his hands and feet after leaving his sword.
Throughout the past and present, there have been many famous boxing techniques left by boxing masters, but Shen Haolin has not learned any of them. The only one he can master very skillfully is the most basic boxing technique that all the soldiers of the Shen Family Army have learned. , this set of boxing techniques was compiled by the old man himself and is the basic skill of the new military camp. This set of boxing techniques is not very difficult, nor does it have many movements. If it has any effect, it is probably that it can strengthen the body.
Shen Haolin took advantage of Shen Cha before he could stand firmly, raised his palm and swatted at Shen Cha, heading straight for Shen Cha's face. Shen Cha didn't even look at it, and ducked away with a slight tilt of his head. Seeing that his palm was empty, Shen Haolin changed his palm into a fist and pretended to hit Shen Cha on the head. At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked Shen Cha in the chest. Shen Cha stood on tiptoes and took a few steps back, dodging this wave of attacks again.
In just one cup of tea, the two of them made almost a hundred moves. Shen Haolin was panting, but Shen Cha was as if nothing happened.
Ying Shisan and his brother Ying Shishi, who came over to watch the battle, were squatting on the roof, each holding a bag of melon seeds in their hands, eating and talking.
"It's true, the boss. You know that the Duke of Guo is not good at this, but you still have to drag him to practice boxing and kicking." Ying Shishi shook his head helplessly, "This battle is too ugly. It's just to tease the Duke of Guo. Woolen cloth!"
"But don't you think that Mr. Guo's boxing skills have improved a lot? Although he still only knows this one, he has integrated it and added his own understanding. You see, Mr. Guo can only fight ten moves with the boss, but now Isn't it a big improvement to be able to pass a hundred moves?" Ying Thirteen touched his chin, took off the water bag hanging on his waist, and threw it to Ying Fifteen, "This set of boxing techniques has been integrated into the Duke of Guo's. It’s in our bones and blood, at least when our boss doesn’t follow us, we can still protect ourselves if something happens!”
"The Duke of Guo still relies on fists and kicks to protect himself? Brother, don't be ridiculous. Even if the Duke of Guo doesn't use his sword, he still has a soft sword!" Ying Fifteen took a sip of water, picked it up and put it on the table. He continued to eat the oil paper bag next to him, ""I actually agree with what the Duke said. They are both generals on horseback, and their fists and kicks are really of no use. They are different from us. Besides, if something happens while we are here, there is no need for them to take action themselves, right?
"That makes some sense." Ying Thirteen pointed to the yard, "There are already results."
While Ying Thirteen and Ying Fifteen were chatting, Shen Cha punched Shen Haolin on the shoulder. However, she did not use much force and only retracted her hand with a light touch.
"You lost again, brother." Shen Cha took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Shen Haolin's forehead, then put the cloak he had thrown aside on him, "This time it was good, we passed two hundred moves." . When Master comes back, we can hand over the mission."
"It's natural to lose to you, and it's not a shame." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows slightly, "But if you beat me, it's considered a defeat, right? Besides, your master just said that, I asked you to supervise my boxing practice, don’t take it seriously.” Shen Haolin took Shen Cha to the corridor, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, and said, “Don’t make it difficult for me, we are warriors on the battlefield, and If you are not a bastard running around in the world, what's the use of being so good at boxing and kicking? We all wear armor. No matter how hard your fists are, if they hit the thick copper and iron, won't you be the one injured?"
"Brother is right." Shen Cha would still refute such strong words when he first heard them, but after hearing them more times, he didn't want to say anything anymore. No matter how much she talked, her brother couldn't listen, so it was just a waste of effort.
"Why are you so obedient this time? You didn't refute?" Shen Haolin raised his chin and motioned for Shen Cha to sit down, "Didn't you make a lot of sense before?"
"You're going to laugh at me later because I'm not strong enough to swing a huge sword like you, so I can only play with a long whip that has no feel and is light." Shen Cha put the teacup back on the table. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. He saw Ying Thirteen and Ying Fifteen falling from the roof and ordered, "Prepare hot water."
After washing up and changing into dry and loose clothes, the brother and sister met in Zhuyun's small living room. While they were bathing, dinner had been delivered and the wine brought by Shen Haolin had been heated.
"Drink a drink with me." He waved to Ying Thirteen and Ying Fifteen and told them to go eat by themselves. Shen Haolin poured a small cup of wine and placed it in front of Shen Cha, "Today during the day, I want to see you His expression doesn’t seem right? Do you agree to destroy the Duan family?”
"I disagree." Shen Cha clinked glasses with Shen Haolin, took a sip, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chicken drumstick and put it on Shen Haolin's plate, "Duan's is such a big place, there is nothing to worry about. Although they have a lot of internal and external troubles, the people still have a strong sense of identification with the king. If we wipe out the Duan family, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble, so we might as well let them make trouble on their own!" Shen Tea clamped a He put a small piece of chicken in his mouth and chewed, "I just received some news. Not only Liao and Jin, but also someone from Xijing was involved in that incident. This person was very powerful, although there are no definite clues yet. It points to a specific person, but if you can twist things into that way, there should be a lot of people involved."
"Everyone from the Zhongshu Provincial Department, the Cabinet, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and even the palace who have come into contact with that case has this possibility."
"If we really need to re-investigate thoroughly, Xijing will be turned upside down, and those foreigners will have unreasonable intentions again. Thinking about it makes me feel tired. We will be in trouble in the future." Shen Cha picked up the wine cup and poured out the remaining He drank the wine in one gulp and said, "The wine is good."
"The wine your Majesty sent is naturally good." Shen Haolin looked at her and drank all the wine in his glass, "It's rare to see wine that you like."
"Compared to wine, I still prefer drinking tea, maybe because there is a word for tea in my name."
The two of them were chatting while drinking. You brought me food and I poured you wine. A faint ambiguity spread between the two of them, making people feel that the whole air seemed to have a hint of sweetness.
