"Chen Baihu, the training seems to be going well." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Chen Shiyi bowed and said, "It's too early to report back to your lord. We've only practiced for less than five days, so we can't say we've made any progress yet."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said, "What kind of training are you doing?"
Chen Shiyi said: "Get up at half past nine, wash up, and run ten miles, which means running thirty laps along the courtyard of our public housing. After breakfast, we practiced formations for an hour. After that, we practiced strength and body skills for half an hour, lifting stone locks to climb over low walls, etc."
In the afternoon, we will conduct martial arts and weapon training for two hours."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, the arrangements are very good. But you have to be careful. If the intensity is too high at first, they may not be able to handle it. There are also some disabled, sick and older brothers who need to be treated differently."
Chen Shi said: "Don't worry, sir. I am a humble person who selects those who are not qualified for all the training items to provide support for everyone, such as boiling water and cooking. As my Lord said, it is good for everyone to be useful."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Okay. A team must have people who can charge forward, and also have people who can assist with logistics. I hope half of these 100 brothers can be strong and usable, and then the goal will be achieved. We must train well."
It is not only about practicing martial arts, but also about practicing quality and will. It is not required that everyone be brave and good at fighting, but everyone must have energy, endurance, and the will to do things loyally and fight through mountains and fires without frowning. That is the truly usable person.
.”
Chen Shiyi bowed and shouted: "In this humble position, please bear in mind your teachings. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Zhang Yanling nodded with a smile and said: "You don't have to rush for success, take your time. Although I gave you a month, there are some things that cannot be practiced in a month. I will not force others to make things difficult, and I will give you appropriate grace.
"
Chen Shi bowed and agreed.
Zhang Yanling nodded and turned to walk into the public room. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned and said to Chen Shi: "Chen Baihu, let the brothers rest for a while. Come with me. I have a few words to say to you."
Chen Shi nodded in agreement, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, rest for a while. The three generals will take the brothers to drink tea and rest. But you are not allowed to walk around, make loud noises, sit on the ground, or take off your hat or clothes. Who dares?
Violation will be punished by the whip."
Zhang Yanling asked Chen Shiyi to take a seat. After Zhao Yuancheng made tea, Zhang Yanling ordered: "Go and guard outside the door. No one is allowed to disturb you."
Zhao Yuancheng nodded and went out, closing the door smoothly.
Chen Shiyi was a little confused. He didn't know what Master Zhenfu was going to say. It seemed to be very important.
"I don't know what you have to say, sir?" Chen Shi asked.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Nothing, let's talk about home affairs. We talked a little bit last time, but it wasn't enough. I want to know more, Chen Baihu doesn't know if you mind."
Chen Shi said: "What do you want to ask, sir? I know everything I can do, but I can tell you everything."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "That's good, I'll get straight to the point. Where did Chen Baihu learn his good martial arts skills?"
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Oh, Bei Zhi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. My hometown is a martial arts community, and my father is a famous local boxer. Bei Zhi started practicing martial arts with his father when he was three years old."
Zhang Yanling suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder Chen Baihu's martial arts is so strong. It turns out that it comes from family training."
"What the hell, sir, I'm so complimentary." Chen Shi said.
"Then why did Chen Baihu enter the Jinyiwei Yamen? I mean, did Chen Baihu do it to honor his ancestors, or to show off his talents?" Zhang Yanling asked.
The muscles on Chen Shiyi's face trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Zhenfu, I joined the Jinyi Guards to seek a future. At that time, Taiyuan Prefecture's Jinyi Guards happened to be recruiting people from thousands of households, so I signed up. Because I know some fists and kicks, so I
So he was called into the Yamen. I took the humble position just because I wanted to make a career in Jinyiwei."
Zhang Yanling nodded slowly and said: "I see. How old was Chen Baihu at that time?"
Chen Shiyi said: "Hongzhi was twenty-four years old at that time."
Zhang Yanling said: "At the age of twenty-four, he should have already gotten married. Why is Chen Baihu still alone? I don't mean anything else. What I mean is that for a heroic figure like Chen Baihu, women flock to him.
Why doesn’t Chen Baihu get a wife?”
This question sounded very gossipy and seemed to have no nutrition, but Chen Shiyi's expression became difficult to look at. The smile on his face disappeared and his face became a little distorted. He was silent.
"What? Does Chen Baihu have something to hide?" Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Chen Shiyi raised his head and looked at Zhang Yanling and said: "My lord, I don't want to answer this question. If my lord has any instructions, I should obey them. As for these things, I don't want to answer them. These are my private matters."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Private matters... that's right. Chen Baihu, are you from Taiyuan Prefecture? I wonder if you remember that there was a case in Taiyuan Prefecture eighteen years ago. Back under Maqiao in the east city of Taiyuan Prefecture, there was a
The woman drowned. The woman was pregnant. One body and two lives. The woman’s name was Li Aying..."
Before Zhang Yanling finished speaking, Chen Shi stood up in a hurry, his face flushed, his eyes wide open, and his hand was already on the handle of the embroidered spring knife at his waist. The veins on his neck and forehead popped out, like
It roared like an angry beast.
"How do you know this? What do you want to do?"
Zhang Yanling shook his head and said: "Chen Baihu, I am your immediate superior, the Governor of Nanzhen Fusi. You are being rude to me."
Chen Shiyi shouted: "I don't care who you are, tell me, where did you know this? What else do you know?"
Zhang Yanling said coldly: "Chen Baihu, I asked you to sit down, please calm down. If I want to harm you, why do I ask you to say these words? You are very skilled in martial arts, don't I know this?
dangerous?"
Chen Shiyi gasped and stared at Zhang Yanling. After a while, under Zhang Yanling's stern gaze, he let go of the handle of the knife and sat down slumped.
Zhang Yanling reached out and pulled out a yellowed file from the box under the crime scene and threw it in front of Chen Shiyi. The file exuded a musty smell. When he dropped it, smoke and dust particles flew in the beam of sunlight projected by the clear tiles.
.
"I just found out about this case in the Yamen's files. And I found out that this case is related to you. Chen Baihu, you don't have to hide it. Then Li Aying is your wife, right?" Zhang Yanling
Said slowly.
Chen Shi raised his head, his eyes widened, filled with pain and struggle. After a while, he nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, what you said is absolutely correct. Aying is indeed my wife. I thought
So many years have passed since the incident, and no one knows about it, but unexpectedly it was discovered by adults."
Zhang Yanling nodded slowly and said: "Chen Baihu, just admit it."
Chen Shiyi said coldly: "But so what? Sir, you are deliberately investigating my past, and what is the purpose of digging up my past?"
Zhang Yanling laughed silently, shook his head and said: "Chen Baihu, do you think that I am deliberately digging up your past to cause trouble for you? Eighteen years ago, I was a two-year-old child, and I told you Chen Baihu has no intersection with each other, and has no connection at all. My Zhang family has nothing to do with you, so why should I trouble you? The reason why I know this is because you, Chen Baihu, are now my I have hundreds of personal guards, so I have to strictly check your details. Otherwise, how can I feel relieved if I am accompanied by a person whose identity is unknown and who has high martial arts skills? How do I know if you will be harmful to me? "
Chen Shiyi remained silent. He still agreed with Zhang Yanling's explanation. Zhang Yanling was the new governor of the Zhenfu Division, and he was his personal guard. With Zhang Yanling's status, he checked the details of the people who followed him. That is actually a perfectly normal behavior.
