Behind Jianfeng is a slightly childish woman in red.
But there is a feeling of heroic appearance.
That sword was fast enough, stable enough, and accurate enough. It must have been a profound skill.
Just when Wei Yuan secretly guessed the identity of the other party, the sword had already come to him.
Wei Yuan responded calmly, dodged the sword edge sideways, and asked with a smile:
"But sister Guifen?"
The person who came was none other than Zhang Guifen. She sheathed her sword and stood up, frowning slightly.
"How do you know it was me?"
Wei Yuan said: "I heard from the teacher that he has a daughter who likes to wear red clothes and is good at using swords, spears, swords and halberds."
Apart from Zhang Guifen, who was loved by Zhang Fu and his wife, who else could be someone who looked young and dared to use a sword in the British palace?
Zhang Guifen smiled and said: "My sister is brave, please ask brother Wei for some advice."
After saying that, he stabbed out another sword.
Wei Yuan still dodged, "The speed of this sword alone is enough. If you can use the strength on your wrist more skillfully, you can be called a master in swordsmanship."
In addition to the careful teachings of Zhang Fu and Gu Yankai, his martial arts skills were also learned through fighting on the battlefield.
In a chaotic battle, the sword has no eyes. If you want to avoid being injured, your reaction speed is required to be extremely fast.
Therefore, even if Zhang Guifen has good speed, it is difficult to hurt Wei Yuan at all.
Zhang Guifen stabbed a few more swords in succession, but he skillfully dodged them all, and then said a few words.
It feels like a heavy punch hitting cotton.
Simply, Zhang Guifen stood up with her sword in hand and said displeasedly: "No fight, Brother Wei, you are so boring, you just know how to hide here and there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yuan was about to explain something.
Then I heard Zhang Fu coming from a distance and said loudly:
"Yuan'er is born with divine power and agility. He only strikes to kill the enemy. If he is really serious, do you think you can stab the second sword?"
Just now, when he heard that someone came to report that Zhang Guifen was standing at the gate of the mansion to stop the guests from using their swords, he became furious and came here quickly.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Guifen felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She quickly handed the sword in her hand to the maid beside her, trotted to Zhang Fu, took his arm, and said with a smile:
"Dad, I'm just having fun with brother Wei."
Zhang Fu snorted coldly, "That's outrageous! It's the first time your brother from the Wei family came to our house. Is this how you treat guests?"
Zhang Guifen explained: "Dad, you always say that the brothers of the Wei family have superb martial arts skills and are hard to match among their peers. Doesn't my daughter want to learn from you..."
Zhang Fu said angrily: "Are you still reasonable? Starting from tomorrow, we will be banned for one month and no martial arts training is allowed!"
Zhang Guifen was still young and loved to play. When she heard about the ban, she panicked and begged her mother for mercy:
"Mother, look at dad, your daughter is just competing with brother Wei."
Mrs. Zhang unexpectedly changed her expression and said with an unhappy expression:
"That's enough! What kind of behavior is it for my daughter to dance with knives and guns all day long? It's also good for you to allow you to be grounded and reflect!"
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen felt incredible.
In the past, when my father taught me a lesson, my mother would always stand up and persuade him.
Helpless, she looked at her three brothers again.
But they saw the three people looking to the left and right, but ignoring Zhang Guifen.
Seeing this, Wei Yuan felt funny, and first bowed to Zhang Fu and his wife:
"Disciple pays homage to his teacher, my wife."
Then he said a few words for Zhang Guifen,
"Sister Guifen just wants to discuss things with me. She has no ill intentions."
There was indeed no malice, otherwise the sword thrust out earlier would never have reminded him to be careful.
Zhang Fu sighed and said, "Yuan'er, my little girl is so naughty and makes you laugh. Don't worry, I will teach her well when I have time to be my teacher."
At this time, Mrs. Zhang took a serious look at Wei Yuan. He was tall and handsome, with a majestic appearance.
It's like a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more satisfied she becomes.
There was a pause.
Mrs. Zhang came to Wei Yuan's side and smiled kindly:
"Fern'er is not like this usually. Yuan'er must not be angry because of this. In the future, your teacher and I will strictly discipline her."
"Since your teacher returned to the court, I have been talking about you to my wife all day long at home. I finally see you."
"Good boy, the food and wine are ready. Let's have a nice drink with your teacher tonight."
When Wei Yuan heard what the two elders said, he always felt that something was not right.
Zhang Guifen was a little casual, but it was just a discussion with herself, not a big deal.
Why do the two elders act like they want to teach Zhang Guifen a lesson?
Even if the visitor is a guest and a disciple, no matter how good she is, she can't be compared to a precious daughter, right?
He glanced at Zhang Guifen, who was bowing his head in silence, feeling even more amused, and said:
"Master's wife, you are serious. Sister Guifen is free and easy, and she lives up to the reputation of a tiger girl. Such a girl is straightforward and innocent. It's too late for her disciples to like her, so how can she be angry?"
The love he was talking about was the brother's love for his sister.
After all, Zhang Guifen was too young, and it was the first time they met, so how could they develop a crush on each other?
However, when Mrs. Zhang heard what he said, her eyes lit up.
"Yuan'er really thinks Guifen is good like this?"
Zhang Fu, who was standing aside, was always paying attention to Wei Yuan's expression.
After Zhang Guifen heard this, she suddenly raised her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Wei Yuan, feeling somewhat fond of him in her heart.
In Bianjing City, who among the nobles and officials of her age would not secretly say that it is a bit outrageous for her to be a woman who dances with swords and guns all day long?
But Wei Yuan didn't say that.
"Of course it's very good." Wei Yuan said subconsciously: "There has always been a lack of gentle women in this world, but what is lacking is women like Sister Guifen."
He really couldn't find any good words to exaggerate Guifen.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled even more happily. She thought of something and glared at Zhang Guifen behind her.
"Why don't you quickly apologize to your Wei brother?"
Zhang Guifen did not dare to disobey, and she also had a crush on Wei Yuan. She also knew that she had gone too far.
If you are wrong, you are wrong. If you don't dare to admit it, you just want to apologize to Wei Yuan, but you hear Wei Yuan shake his head and say:
"Sister Guifen, no need. Even if my sister did something inappropriate, I am still my elder brother. How can I let my sister apologize?"
Before Zhang Guifen could say anything, Mrs. Zhang was already overjoyed and thought to herself:
"He knows how to take care of Fen'er's emotions and is tolerant of others. He doesn't dislike Fen'er's martial arts practice. He is such a good boy."
Wait for everyone to come to the main hall.
Wei Yuan first took out the gift for the two elders.
He also gave gifts to the three sons of the Zhang family, including a hardcover version of "The Art of War", a sword, and a crossbow.
As for Zhang Guifen, she gave her a hairpin.
Although they are not expensive gifts, they are still considered polite.
As for gifts for women... apart from hairpins and rouge, he couldn't think of anything.
As the only daughter of a British prince, what kind of jewelry does she need in her daily life?
Every year on her birthday, a bunch of them would be sent to the palace alone.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if you change one hairpin belt every day, you will not wear the same one all year round.
But she still happily took the hairpin from Wei Yuan and played with it in her hands, treating it like a treasure.
During the meal.
Wei Yuan had a very pleasant conversation with the three sons of the Zhang family.
They often heard their father talk about the senior brother in front of them.
Now he is a hero who sticks to Yanmen.
Which disciple of Wu Xun wouldn't like to communicate with such a hero?
If Zhang Fu and his wife were not around, even the three of them would have wanted to swore sworn vows with Wei Yuan on the spot.
However, this did not stop them from calling him 'Brother Wei'.
Zhang Guifen on the side chose to remain silent and listened carefully to what Wei Yuan saw and heard at the border.
I also heard him talk about guarding Yanmen.
Although Wei Yuan only exposed it in a few words, as a female general, she had seen the art of war and played in the sandbox since she was a child.
How could you not know the dangers involved?
His admiration for Wei Yuan grew even more, and he even couldn't help but secretly thought:
"Brother Wei is truly a hero."
After having enough wine and food.
Zhang Fu first asked the three sons of the Zhang family to go back and rest.
He winked at his wife again.
Mrs. Zhang understood immediately, took Zhang Guifen's little hand and left.
He went behind the screen in the main hall and quietly listened to the conversation between master and apprentice.
Zhang Fu first asked about some serious matters.
"When you entered the palace today, what did you say to the officials?"
Wei Yuan hid part of the story and only told about military training.
Zhang Fu said seriously: "Do you have confidence in this military training method you created?"
Wei Yuan did not dare to rely on him, "It's hard to say without actual combat. However, our Zhou army has been suffering from disadvantages for a long time. If things go on like this, it will be just a bunch of stragglers."
"The Liao Kingdom and Xixia are eyeing me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are not asking for change at this time. One day, they will send all their troops southward, and I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will be in danger."
He didn't want his descendants to experience the humiliation of Jingkang.
Zhang Fu said: "You are so young, but you have actually thought of new military training methods. From this point of view, even us veterans can't compare with you."
"It's just that you have never been an official in the central government, so you don't know. If you want to defeat Liao and Xixia, the army is second."
"Today it's just you and me, master and disciple. I might as well tell you some things as a master. It will be helpful for you to analyze the current situation."
Having said this, Zhang Fu changed his tone and said rather seriously:
"The officials have been trying to solve the problem of redundant troops all day long, and they also want to train a new army. But even if the new army is really trained and scattered in various places, it will be difficult to unite as one."
"If a military general is allowed to lead... the official family, it will never be allowed."
"Whenever we were fighting outside, those Qingliu scribes in the temple had not read a few books on the art of war. They had never even been to the battlefield, and they had never seen the bloody scene of soldiers fighting bravely to kill the enemy."
"But he dares to point fingers at the war ahead in the Xuanzheng Palace, relying on a mere sand table, and from time to time he will instruct the frontline generals to fight and kill the enemy..."
"That's all. The most important thing is that martial artists are born short of scholars. This was the case when Di Gong was there, and it was also the case when Fan Xianggong was there..."
"I know your ambition, and regaining the Sixteen Provinces of Yanyun is what all our warriors want to do. However, with the current situation of the country, it is extremely difficult to protect ourselves without major changes."
Don’t say anything else.
Let’s just talk about the time when Zhang Fu resisted Yelvren’s invasion.
If it weren't for his high position and high authority, he would also be trusted by officials.
It is simply difficult to implement strategies to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.
Because the great ministers in Bianjing will feel that everything will be fine if they act according to their plan after conducting detailed sand table deductions.
But the battlefield situation is changing rapidly.
By the time the news of Bianjing reached the border, tens of millions of soldiers were already extremely cold.
Zhang Fu only asked Wei Yuan some basic questions.
If we go into more detail, it is a taboo, and Wei Yuan needs to figure it out on his own.
