Ye Qing, whose face was full of fatigue, was panting heavily.
His eyes were filled with anxiety and unconcealable frustration.
After seeing Zhu Gaoli's calm face, he lowered his head and looked at his trembling right hand.
He wanted to practice again, but he also knew that going too far was never equal, so he could only nod his head and said:
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Gaoli could see what Ye Qing was thinking, but he didn't explain it. Instead, he pretended to be disappointed.
In one morning, I chopped more than 500 times, and I also figured out how to hold the knife.
He has taught so many people, and apart from Yan San, a martial arts prodigy with natural powers and basic skills, Ye Qing is the most popular.
Originally, he wanted to praise him, but he was so frustrated when he saw that Ye Qing was wrong.
It's best to just go with the flow.
In this way, it can inspire Ye Qing to work harder and achieve his best.
Lest you become complacent and slack off.
However, this body cannot be exhausted.
Zhu Gaoli said: "Go to eat first, and then go to the back hall. There will be specialized doctors to loosen your muscles and bones, and then you can continue practicing in the afternoon."
Ye Qing wanted to raise his hand to salute, but when he exerted a little force on his arm, it trembled even more, and he almost dropped the knife in his hand.
"Yes, sir!" Ye Qing bowed in agreement, then lowered his head and walked towards the back hall.
Along the way, he only regarded the admiring looks from those soldiers as a sign of his merit in managing the river embankment.
After Ye Qing passed by, these soldiers whispered in reverence:
"Qingxiao Langjun is too awesome."
"Yes, over two hours, more than four hundred cuts were made."
"More than that, I've been counting, it must be more than five hundred knives."
"Hiss, it's so terrifying."
"As expected of Qing Xiaolangjun, he is indeed a martial arts prodigy."
….
After eating and getting a massage, Ye Qing went straight to the edge of the school grounds without stopping at all.
Although he was tired, his right arm had revitalized its energy and blood and loosened its muscles. After Ye Qing held the knife again, he began to chop at the wooden pile.
Zhu Gaoli was sitting under the eaves next to the school grounds, drinking tea and looking at the tall figure, swinging the knife full of tenacity.
The bright sunshine shone on Ye Qing's resolute profile, which was extremely beautiful.
Time passed in a breath.
The school grounds went from being filled with shouts of killing to shaking the sky, to being sparsely populated, and finally to being completely deserted under the stars.
Ye Qingdu stood firmly on the spot and waved the horizontal knife in his hand towards the wooden stake.
Li Yang, deputy inspector of the ninth rank of the Inspection Department, stood beside Zhu Gaoli and looked at Ye Qing with a faint look in his eyes.
Ye Qing came up with a method to protect the embankment that would benefit both the present and the future. He also solved a major case that shocked the gods, recovered the Purple Gold Cauldron, a treasure from the previous dynasty, and became a popular figure next to Chen Yuming, the prefect of Huaiyang.
Now, I have been practicing with Zhu Gaoli for three months.
Li Yang didn't know how far Ye Qing could go in the future.
But what Li Yang knows is that he will definitely go further than him.
Right now, it was just the right time for him to favor Ye Qing, who was still a subordinate.
Li Yang frowned and said worriedly: "Sir, it's a good thing that Mr. Qing is working so hard, but it will hurt your body and bones. Why don't you go down and persuade him?"
He knew what his subordinate was planning.
Zhu Gaoli glanced at him and reminded:
"Wait until he is tired and paralyzed before going. Besides, he is a rare smart person. Doing too much will be counterproductive."
Li Yang showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and then he gratefully clasped his fists towards Zhu Gaoli and bowed:
"My subordinates will remember it."
Zhu Gaoli tapped his fingers on the armrest, and after a while, he spoke again:
"The fiancé of the daughter of the Mo family calls him brother and sister."
Li Yang, who was trembling all over, looked at the dumbfounded back figure under the moonlight.
Then, he excitedly bowed to Zhu Gaoli again and said:
"Thanks for the tip, sir."
"You have been with me for seven years. It was originally agreed that the post of inspector in the inspection department would be yours. My coming to the inspection department is like suppressing you for another three years."
Zhu Gaoli sat without getting up, but he still stretched out his hand with a guilty look on his face, helped him up, then patted his arm and said:
"Ten years, you're already twenty-seven, and you're still a ninth-grade deputy inspector."
"Sir, I am from a humble background. If you hadn't supported me back then, I would probably still be a top soldier now, let alone a deputy patrol officer." Li Yang said sincerely, with a look of gratitude on his face.
Zhu Gaoli was stunned, not expecting Li Yang to say this.
He whispered: "Yes, from a humble background, within ten years, I have become the deputy inspector of the inspection department of one of the eight major cities of Shenqi, and I have become famous."
Li Yang raised his head very proudly and said:
"I can meet you, sir. The ancestral graves of my subordinates are smoking. Otherwise, I will not be respected by others, let alone settle a house in Huaiyang City, marry a wife and have children."
Zhu Gaoli looked at Li Yang's unpretentious expression and grinned:
"You brat, you can talk. I was willing to lead you back then, except that you have real abilities and know how to get into trouble."
"As long as you don't feel aggrieved, I feel better."
"However, you have to go up, and you have to go up. Remember what I tell you, and don't think wrong about what I don't tell you."
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Gaoli's face was solemn.
"Yes, sir!" Li Yang agreed immediately. However, he was not stupid and immediately noticed something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "Sir, what happened?"
Zhu Gaoli raised his head, looked at the night sky with few stars, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Something big is going to happen. I don't know how many people will die next."
Li Yang, who was trembling all over, looked at Zhu Gaoli with a solemn face in disbelief.
This was the third time since he met Zhu Gaoli that he had seen him look so dignified.
For the first time, when Zhu Gaoli was appointed as the captain of the Yangzhou Wei Xiao Cavalry School, he was seconded to the north and led a hundred rangers to patrol the border. On the way, he was surrounded by three thousand cavalry from the Beiguang Kingdom and was lifeless.
The second time, when Zhu Gaoli returned to Yangzhou Wei from the north, he was killed by a powerful gentry in Jinling who was close to him in life and death and his whole family. General Zhenwei of Yangzhou Wei at that time advised him not to do anything, otherwise he would be killed.
The third time is now.
Li Yang's temples couldn't help but bulge.
Just when he was thinking about the major events that happened in Huaiyang City during this period, and the rumors he heard.
Zhu Gaoli said: "Go quickly."
Li Yang, who came back to his senses, saw Ye Qing lying on the ground tiredly, and ran over.
…
Three quarters of a hour.
Zai's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
He Wen was covered in water and fell into the courtyard wall.
He looked at the man in black standing in the yard tremblingly and said in a trembling voice:
"Dong, stuff, take it, got it."
After saying that, the tense nerves relaxed, and He Wen could no longer hold on and fainted on the ground.
The shadow guard stepped forward, carried He Wen into the quiet room, changed his clothes, and applied ointment to his ribs.
After cleaning up, the shadow guard said: "Why don't you do it?"
Yan San poked his head out of the window warily, stared at the shadow guard and said:
"What did you let them do?"
"Can't you come to me if you have any trouble?"
"You're too stupid." Shadow Guard said calmly, then stood up and looked at Yan San, whose face turned the color of pig's liver with anger.
