Chapter 4 Marksmanship

As the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Qiu Chuji came to Kaifeng City.

His purpose is similar to that of Hong Qigong, which is to educate Yang Kang and bring a lost lamb into the light. However, as a lamb, Yang Kang is unaware of this. He has not yet become a

The consciousness of the person being saved.

How to shape a good future emperor is a topic that the Quanzhen Seven Sons focus on. However, this topic is too broad. Even those knowledgeable Taifu adults are not sure that the emperors they teach will be wise and powerful. In the end, the Quanzhen Seven Sons

Decided to start from the root.

The so-called root refers to Yang Kang's family background, which has the same meaning as the root Hongmiao mentioned in later generations. Yang Kang undoubtedly has a good background. His ancestor is Yang Zaixing, a famous anti-gold general.

In this age where family origin is important, people after Zhongliang were treated very favorably. If the descendants of Qin Hui were afraid of the Quanzhen Sect, they would not be so enthusiastic. After all, it would not sound good in name only if it was said.

Yang Zaixing was from Jishui, Jiangxi Province, but his ancestral home was in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou. Coincidentally, Yue Fei was also from Tangyin County. The two were from the same hometown. Yang Zaixing was a bandit at first, but later he was inspired by Yue Fei to abandon the secret and join the bright side.

In fact, he was beaten and had no choice but to surrender, so he became one of Yue Fei's generals. He was famous for his bravery in the battle against the Jin Dynasty and eventually died heroically.

Qiu Chuji decided to teach the Yang family's marksmanship to Yang Kang, so that Yang Kang could one day recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.

The Yang family's marksmanship in Changchun came from the folk. It is said to be the family marksmanship of Yang Ye, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, the Yang Laolinggong who died in the battle with the Liao Kingdom among the Yang family generals. However, there is no direct evidence that Yang Zaixing and

Yang Ye is related by blood, but it is rumored that Yang Zaixing is a descendant of Yang Ye.

If this is the case, then Yang Kang's background is even more prominent. After all, Yang Ye's official position at that time was Yunzhou Observer, Judge of Daizhou, Gift Taiwei, and Datong Army Jiedushi. The local military and political power was concentrated in one person.

A high-ranking official with great power.

Yang Kang was not surprised when he heard that Qiu Chuji was going to teach him the Yang family's marksmanship. This was a normal thing, but he still showed a surprised expression and asked curiously.

"Master, why do you need to learn this set of marksmanship?"

"This set of marksmanship is suitable for battlefield combat, and can also be used for fighting between gangs in the martial arts. You will be right if you learn it." Qiu Chuji casually found an excuse to pass it by.

At this time, Yang Kang couldn't use his true energy, so he could only follow Qiu Chuji in the Yang Family Spear moves. Fortunately, he had a good memory and learned quickly, so he mastered it within a few days.

Bao Xiruo would occasionally come to see her son practice martial arts, and she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this set of marksmanship. It reminded her of the time when she was still in Niujia Village many years ago, when her husband was dancing like this in the yard.

After practicing the iron gun, she was covered in sweat, so she stepped forward to wipe her husband's sweat, while his husband looked at her with a smile.

For a moment, Yang Kang's figure turned into another person in her eyes.

When Yang Kang finished practicing, she stepped forward to wipe away the sweat, but found that the person in front of her had turned into her son. There was no sweat on his forehead, but the gentle smile was the same, which made Bao Xiruo a little distracted.

It turns out that nine years have passed like this.

In a small courtyard ten miles away from Prince Zhao's Mansion, Yang Tiexin was teaching Mu Nianci the marksmanship. This was the authentic Yang family marksmanship. At this time, Mu Nianci received the true teachings of Hong Qigong, and the set of marksmanship was not only impressive.

The killing aura on the battlefield and the sense of elegance and agility.

Yang Tiexin knew that this adopted daughter would meet an expert hermit in the martial arts world, and in time her martial arts would be even more powerful than him. This was a good thing, and he was happy for his daughter.

These days, he spent his free time in Kaifeng City inquiring about news about his wife. When he took Mu Nianci back to Niujia Village a year ago, he had originally planned to give up looking for Bao Xiruo and settle down in Niujia Village.

However, when Yang Tiexin returned to Niujia Village, he found that all the things in his home had been emptied. This abnormal phenomenon rekindled his enthusiasm for finding his wife. This showed that Bao Xiruo might still be alive, otherwise who would take the chickens in the backyard?

What about moving the shed as well? Only the wife would care about these inconspicuous little things.

So he and Mu Nianci only stayed in Niujia Village for a few days before leaving and embarked on the road to find Bao Xiruo again.

Yang Tiexin had no source of information about the Quanzhen Sect, nor did he come across any clues provided by Qu Lingfeng. He just kept searching, hoping that God would open his eyes and allow him to find the person he would spend his whole life with in the vast sea of ​​people.

By chance, he heard that the princess of Prince Zhao's Mansion was also named Bao. This news was not a secret in Kaifeng City, because this princess was a descendant of Bao Zheng, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Bao Zheng's prestige among the people of Kaifeng Mansion was even greater than that of the emperor.

She wanted to be high, so some gossip about this princess spread.

Some said that the princess was extremely beautiful, otherwise how could a prince not accept a concubine? Some said that the princess was well-read in poetry and books, and she was a talented girl. The prince admired her talent before marrying her. Some said that the princess had a deep heart.

of kindness...

All in all, they were all kind words. Those who dared to slander Princess Zhao were put in prison and tortured.

Yang Tiexin was a little disappointed after hearing this. He was sure that the princess was not his wife. Bao Xiruo was from Hongmei Village, Lin'an Prefecture. This was her ancestral home and had no relationship with the famous official Bao Zheng whose ancestral home was Luzhou.

Moreover, although my wife has studied with her father for two years, she is not a talented woman who has read poetry and books. At most, she can only recognize words. As for her kind-heartedness, it is true.

Fortunately, there have been many similar disappointments in recent years, and Yang Tiexin has long been used to it. He plans to stay in Kaifeng City until autumn, and then continue to search north. If there is no accident, his whole life will be spent on this matter.

However, what no one expected was that an envoy from the Southern Song Dynasty was about to disrupt the city of Kaifeng.

At this time, it was still half a month before the Dragon Boat Festival, and a group of envoys from the Southern Song Dynasty left Lin'an and headed north of the Yangtze River. They were to deliver annual tribute to the Kingdom of Jin.

According to the "Jiading Peace Agreement" signed with the Kingdom of Jin in the fourth year of the reign of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty had to hand over 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 pieces of silk to the Kingdom of Jin every year, and the handover was carried out in Sizhou every spring.

The handover of Sui Gong was hosted by lower-level officials. The main purpose of this mission was to establish a good relationship with Wanyan Honglie. To put it bluntly, it was to send gifts to the Sixth Prince of the Jin Kingdom. At this time, Wanyan Honglie was in charge of Jiangbei affairs and took measures against the Southern Song Dynasty.

Shi Miyuan, the powerful prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, was worried about his strong attitude, so he sent people to find out the truth.
