Although Lu Xiong's instruction lasted only a short time, Xu Huai's feelings were completely different.
If you want to improve the control of your muscles and bones to a whole new level, it will take a period of hard training, but this feeling of finding the right way and getting a glimpse of the secrets is really not bad.
If you think about it this way, being involved in something like this isn't all bad.
Xu Huai thought to himself that if he had the skills of Lu Xiong, or if he could master the Fumang Fist to the level of Lu Xiong, and his strength might be even stronger, why would he need to be afraid of three or five shady assassins?
And the world is so big, what place is there that he can't go to?
Seeing confusion and surprise in Lu Xiong's eyes, Xu Huai, who was less scrupulous, pondered for a moment and asked: "In the courtyard of the post office at noon, I glanced at the official notice and said that Mr. Wang was demoted to the Tang Dynasty.
But can I stay in Huaiyuan Town instead of going to Biyang City? Huaiyuan Town can also be regarded as the territory of Tangzhou."
It is unlikely that the assassin and Cai Ting behind the scenes will give up.
Biyang County is the seat of Tangzhou's state government. There are 60,000 to 70,000 people living in the city, and there are many business travelers in the city. If the assassin really wants to take action again, it will be difficult for Lu Xiong alone to protect Wang Chen's safety.
In Huaiyuan Town, especially in the military stronghold, the relationship is much simpler, and it is difficult for assassins to infiltrate; if the assassin dares to force his way into the military stronghold, the inspection department's hundreds of soldiers are not just for show.
The more critical point is that Xu Huai is beyond his reach to Biyang.
He also thought carefully that it was unlikely that the assassin would come to him first, but after Wang Zhen was assassinated in Biyang, the assassin might still find him and kill him.
If Wang Zhen and Lu Xiong could be called upon to stay in Huaiyuan, he would not only be able to seize the initiative to some extent, but he could also continue to accept Lu Xiong's advice.
"Your Majesty is demoted to live in Tangzhou and is subject to the supervision of the state government. Whether you can stay in Huaiyuan depends on the decision of the governor Chen Shi!" Lu Xiong said thoughtfully.
He didn't know that Biyang was a mixed bag, but where Wang Zhen stayed was not their decision.
"If Mr. Wang is suddenly ill and bedridden tomorrow morning, is it possible for Chen Shi to let Mr. Wang stay in the Huaiyuan military camp to recuperate on the spot?" Xu Huai asked.
Lu Xiong's eyes lit up.
He saw the attitude of Huaiyuan inspection envoy Deng Gui today.
Cai Qing has been supervising military affairs for nearly twenty years, until he took charge of the Privy Council. His disciples and former officials are all over the Privy Council, the Forbidden Army of various states, and the Xiang Army system. His influence can also penetrate into the most basic levels of the Inspection Department and the Inspection Department.
However, in Tangzhou, the prefect Chen Shi and other civil servants in the prefecture and Biyang county offices had nothing to do with Cai Qing.
They don't have to go against Cai Zheng, but Wang Zhen's death in Tangzhou will not only be a stain on their career, but may also make them become victims of the factional struggle between the DPRK and China.
Of course, Cai Zheng must kill Wang Zhen. The limit that Chen Shi, Cheng Lunying and others can accept is probably that Wang Zhen dies in an "accident", and it is best for this "accident" to happen outside their sight.
Justifiably push one or two low-level officials to take the blame.
Of course, Lu Xiong also knew Wang Zhen’s character very well and said in embarrassment:
"Cai Qing, Wang Yongqi and others pursued their own selfish desires and were worried that the Yushitai would refute them. They often colluded with the eunuchs to encourage His Majesty to write edicts, so that the Yushitai officials would not dare to refute them - Your Majesty, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, has repeatedly rebelled.
The superior's intention made it difficult for them to plan. This time, they also had a serious dispute with Cai Qing on something. Your Excellency repeatedly resisted, and was eventually deported to Tangzhou for being "disrespectful". Your Excellency, if you do this, you will be punished.
Regardless of honor, disgrace, or safety. It would be good if he could stay in Huaiyuan, but I'm worried that you won't agree to pretend to be ill!"
Xu Huai knew very little about the history of the court, and he didn't even know much about Wang Zhen's reputation as an official.
However, when he recalled the situation in front of Yingzizui Cliff, he realized that Wang Zhen did want to die so as not to involve others. He secretly felt that it would not be easy to persuade Wang Zhen to cooperate with his malingering and stay in Huaiyuan.
"I can go to the market right now to buy some laxative medicine, and you can put it in Mr. Lao's tea as appropriate?" Xu Huai asked again.
Lu Xiong's eyes widened and his head was full of questions: How could Xu Wujiang and others regard the young man in front of them as a fool?
Seeing that Lu Xiong had never thought of using this method, Xu Huai said: "It's more than 130 miles to Biyang. Uncle Seventeen asked Xu Xin'an to find a horse team to go with him. No surprise, it will be divided into two journeys. I am now
Let’s prepare the laxatives and go out with the town’s horse team early tomorrow morning. We will rest at Yushan Posthouse at night, and Master Lu must make a decision then.”
"But that's what the person behind you suggested?" Lu Xiong asked uncertainly.
"..." Xu Huai knew that if he revealed the truth, it would be impossible to win Lu Xiong's trust, and would only cause complications, so he said, "He actually wants Mr. Wang to stay in Huaiyuan so that he can take care of him secretly. But how to stay is up to me at the last moment.
Nian. Maybe my method is a bit ridiculous. Does Mr. Lu have any other good ideas?"
Lu Xiong had never thought of using this method to force Wang Zhen to stay in Huaiyuan before, but he was not a stickler for rules.
If you want to stay, you must strive to stay within the Huaiyuan military stronghold, and you should move quickly rather than too quickly.
Yushanyi is located between Huaiyuan and Biyang City, sixty or seventy miles away from both sides. It was known as "one journey" in the world.
In the Huaiyuan Inspection Department, more than a hundred soldiers can still persist in their daily training. Xu Wujiang and others may seem to be of low rank, but they are quite capable in the martial arts in Huaiyuan, not to mention that Deng Gui is still upright.
The Eight Classics had a martial arts background, and there were strong bows and crossbows in the military stronghold. If three or five assassins wanted to forcefully break into the military stronghold, they would be seeking death.
Although the Inspection Department is subordinate to the Privy Council system, it is mainly controlled locally by the County Wei Si and the State Military and Horse Supervision Department (controlled by civil servants). Even if Deng Gui is willing, Xu Wujiang and others who came from local forces will definitely not be willing.
Being a scapegoat and watching Wang Zhen being assassinated in the military camp.
Except for a few weak postmen, the Yushan Post was much smaller than the Huaiyuan Military Stronghold, so it was still easy to be penetrated.
"Can you leave the military camp at this time?" Lu Xiong asked hesitantly.
"Okay." Xu Huai said.
Xu Wujiang and other Dutou and Jie level people were all drinking in Hedong Market at this time. Some even stayed up all night. He just found an excuse to go to Hedong Market. Not to mention the military village, he could find a ferry to cross the Baijian River——
Otherwise, it would be quite cold to cross the river in early spring.
"Okay, go get the medicine quickly." Lu Xiong said.
"Does Mr. Lu have any money? There is a medicine shop in the market. It's not worth much to buy two kinds of laxatives, but you still need money..."
Even though Xu Huai also received a share of military pay, Di Niang had to save the money for him. He usually didn't have to think about food and clothing, and he was really shy about his money.
Seeing Lu Xiong staring at him in surprise, Xu Huai also felt embarrassed, but he couldn't just grab a drug store for two kinds of laxatives, right?
"Uncle Seventeen always thinks that I am ignorant and won't let me interfere in money and material matters. I am happy not to interfere." Xu Huai explained.
"Oh, oh, oh, I have some silver here, have you seen enough?" Lu Xiong took out a handful of broken silver from his inner pocket and handed it to Xu Huai.
"You don't need so much." Xu Huai said. "You keep it for now. I want to stay by your side. I will bother you if anything happens later." Lu Xiong said.
"That's okay." Xu Huai said.
Xu Huai didn't waste any time, stuffed the silver lock into his arms and walked straight to the gate of the military stronghold.
The gatekeeper, who was huddled in a hole in the wall and taking a nap with his iron gun in his arms, heard Xu Huai tell him to go to the military camp to find Xu Wujiang, and he laughed and said: "The tigress of Xu Jie's family is showing off its power again? It seems that Xu Jie
You will be guarding the wall with us tonight!"
When Xu Huai left the military camp, there was a ferry parked at the ferry on the other side of the river, which was specially used to inspect the generals. Xu Huai called the boat across the river, ran to the drug store, bought a bag of laxatives, and gave it to Lu
In Xiong's hands, it doesn't take half an hour before or after.
After separating from Lu Xiong, Xu Huai returned to his residence. At this time, Xu Wujiang came back with Xu Xin'an, smelling of alcohol but full of energy.
"Where did you go so late?" Xu Wujiang asked.
"I couldn't sleep at night, so I walked around the village twice," Xu Huai said.
"What a fool. I'll take you to have a drink with me next time, but you can't just grab the pig's trotters and chew them to death," Xu Wujiang laughed, took out a lotus leaf bag from his arms and stuffed it over, and said,
"Take it and chew it!"
Xu Huai opened the old lotus leaf bag and found a piece of cooked mutton, probably weighing half a catty.
It had not been long since he had received Lu Xiong's advice in the willow forest, but after a trip to the military camp, Xu Huai felt hungry - Xu Huai didn't remember much about his childhood, but the feeling of hunger was always with him.
Without oil and meat, he could eat a whole kilogram of wheat cakes in one meal, and even coarse grain rice would not last him half a day.
However, in today's world, it is too luxurious to have meat to eat every day.
Xu Wujiang entered the backyard, and he and Su Di were heard whispering.
Although this courtyard is small, there is no wing room in the front yard. Directly opposite the hanging flower hall, facing south and north, there are three rooms.
After all, Xu Wujiang's status was low. He could only be regarded as the first soldier in the military camp. His daily communication was simple. Di Niang took care of everyone's daily life, food and accommodation. There were no maids and servants, and there was no need for a separate concierge or reception room in the front yard. Therefore, Xu Huai
There are separate rooms with Xu Xin'an.
Xu Huai returned to the room without taking off his boots and socks. He lay fully clothed on the bed and thought about the many things that had happened today. He ate up a piece of cooked mutton in three or five times, stood in front of the window, and opened the window.
Covered by the eaves, Xu Huai stood in front of the window and couldn't see the bright moon in the night sky, but the moonlight shone in the yard and two pomegranate trees were sprouting buds in front of the porch, but they could still be vaguely distinguished.
During the long night, Xu Huai once again thought about the key points taught by Lu Xiong in the willow forest. Standing with his legs empty, he went deeply into the stillness that night and felt the key points of "lifting" and "supporting" the posture of the python stake in more detail.
After persisting for less than half an hour, he stopped practicing when he felt a little tired, but he felt much more relaxed than usual.
Xu Huai swung his right arm to the side and tried to use the whip-hammer stance. He could feel that the coherence between the side elbow sweep and the sinking elbow impact was obviously better.
The most obvious progress is often made when you are just getting started.
However, after Xu Huai performed these two movements of sweeping his side elbow and sinking his elbow to the side more than ten times, he felt that the muscles on the outer edge of his right arm were sore and uncomfortable.
Xu Huai secretly felt that he did not have a deep foundation in mastering the muscles and bones of the body. If he continued to practice like this forcefully, he would probably injure his muscles and bones.
Of course, you have already seen the ropes. As long as you adapt to the new training methods and integrate them into the Fu Mang Fist and swords and guns you have learned in the past, there will be different changes every day, but there is no need to rush for success...
