There seems to be some connection between the youngest son and the younger son that is beyond the understanding of adults. That kind of connection seems to only exist between children, which is simple and innocent.
Seeing the two children hugging each other babbling, as if they were talking in words that adults didn't understand, Diao Chan's eyes became moist for some unknown reason.
Maybe this is family affection.
The potter couldn't help but feel filled with emotion when he looked at these two children who seemed very close to each other when they first met.
Some things may be destiny, and I don't know what these two children will look like in the future.
The Emperor Liu Xi thus settled down in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion became his first home after he had memories.
And the pottery merchant's family members suddenly increased a lot because of this incident... and most of them were women.
Two nannies, plus a nursing home guard at the gate... no, a gun and stick instructor, three foreign female relatives, all very beautiful.
Diao Chan and Mi Zhen didn't care, but for some reason, the two maids in Xiaoqiao began to feel a sense of crisis.
Maybe they were afraid of losing their jobs? In short, the two little girls became extra diligent. When they had nothing to do, they took the initiative to go to the pottery dealer to show off their achievements. The implication seemed to be that they let the potter make comparisons among themselves.
The main responsibility of the two nannies every day is to cooperate with the two mistresses and two maids to take good care of the two young sons.
Six women taking care of two children is enough in every aspect.
The remaining woman is the so-called gun and stick instructor Lu Lingqi, and the potter tries not to let her have too much contact with his children.
This girl has neither a lot of knowledge nor money, and she is extremely martial. Her children always hang out with her, which the potter thinks is not conducive to his future development.
Lack of wisdom is also contagious.
The potter's heart twitched when he thought about his son running away every day and having to fight with others whenever he met.
However, he still had to learn martial arts from Lu Lingqi. After all, this was something that had been discussed at the beginning. Everyone exchanged with each other for mutual benefit.
"The most important thing in a fist and kick fight is to master the opponent's joints." Lu Lingqi taught Tao Shang serious fist and kick skills: "With your strength, without using weapons, you want to kill the enemy with one move, but I'm afraid it won't.
It's so easy. Only by fully understanding the weaknesses of human bones and joints and using techniques can you achieve success."
The pottery merchant said with some confusion: "On the battlefield, everyone uses weapons. You don't let me use weapons, but use fists and kicks instead? When I am in danger in the future, I will not encounter a group of reckless businessmen who do not use weapons.
?”
Lu Lingqi shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter whether you use weapons or not. What's important is that your foundation is too weak right now. Learn it first with your bare hands. We can talk about weapons, bows and crossbows later."
It doesn't matter if I'm a potter, I'll do whatever the teacher says anyway.
After Lu Lingqi said that, she stretched out her hand and gestured to the pottery merchant: "Come here, follow the weak and vital joints I taught you just now, and you can show me a few gestures... I won't fight back, just come over and throw them.
I am."
The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this: "The two of us... fell?!"
Lu Lingqi nodded and said naturally: "Of course, just listening to my oral instructions without actual instructions will not work after all... It doesn't matter, you can just come over and you won't hurt me!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Shang rolled his eyes and said, "In this case, Miss Lu, you are offended."
After saying that, he stretched out his legs and hands to directly lift Lu Lingqi's lower body.
Lu Lingqi's expression suddenly changed. Although she told the potter some skills about the human body, she really didn't expect him to be so able to draw inferences from one instance and attack the most vulnerable part of the body in an instant.
Potters are from later generations. If you have never eaten pork, have you never seen pigs running away?
He probably also knows the most vulnerable parts of the human body, which are either attacking the leg joints or controlling the waist of the opponent's core muscles. As long as one of these two places is controlled, it is very easy to knock the opponent down.
.
Of course, the premise is that the gap between your opponent and yourself is not too high.
Such disasters as Xu Chu's, Tao Shang Changshi
Lu Lingqi was startled and hurriedly retreated, avoiding the potter's attack on her leg joints.
The problem was that the potter had anticipated her move.
Tao Shang turned around, ran behind her, reached out and grabbed the belt of her dress, controlled her waist, and lifted the core strength of her waist hard. Lu Lingqi tilted her body and was about to fall.
Fall to the ground.
This suddenly made Lu Lingqi anxious.
She used all her strength to keep herself from losing balance and to gain a firm footing. Then she turned her head and punched the potter in the face.
The pottery merchant hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Stop! We agreed not to fight back."
Lu Lingqi was suddenly startled and hurriedly stopped her hand, but the pottery merchant had already reacted. He pushed his hands forward in a hurry.
With this push, all you get is a soft feeling.
Lu Lingqi's face turned red with anger.
"It was you who broke the contract first, not me." The potter was startled, turned around, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.
…
In early August, Sui Gu, a general under Bai Luo of the Hebei Black Mountain Army, came to Xuzhou single-handedly and bluntly wanted to see the pottery merchant.
Sui Gu was also an old acquaintance of the pottery merchant. When he acquired Guo Jia in Hebei, the pottery merchant established a small friendship with him.
At that time, the pottery merchant met Sui Gu in the main hall.
The armor all over Sui Gu's body was covered with solidified blood, his face was covered with dust, and he had a painful look on his face. "General Sui, long time no see. You are not assisting Commander Bai in Hebei. Why are you here?"
As soon as he saw Sui Gu's appearance, Tao Shang roughly guessed that something must have happened with the Black Mountain Army, and judging from Sui Gu's condition, it must be something big.
At that moment, Suigu suddenly knelt down in front of the pottery merchant, his muddy eyes filled with tears of grievance.
"Please Prime Minister, please think of a way to save my family, Fei Yan Gong and Bai Qu Shuai."
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Zhang Yan and Bai Rao?
"What happened to them? Could it be Yuan Shao?"
Sui Gu shook his head in pain and said: "It's not because of Yuan Shao, it's just because of our Black Mountain Army ourselves."
"The Black Mountain Army himself?" The pottery merchant was curious after hearing this.
Sui Gu immediately recounted what happened during this period to the pottery merchant.
It turned out that the Black Mountain Army was fighting Yuan Shao again, but they never thought that this time there would be rebellion within their own ranks.
Tao Sheng, the Qu commander under Zhang Yan, secretly united with Cao Cao. When the battle between the Black Mountain Army and Yuan Shao was in full swing, he stabbed Zhang Yan in the back, captured Zhang Yan alive, and expressed his surrender to Cao Cao.
The reason why Tao Sheng was able to successfully control Zhang Yan so quickly was that, in addition to Cao Cao's help, he also had Zhang Bai, the big yellow turban in Guanzhong, riding behind him to support him.
But after all, Tao Sheng's reputation and prestige were far inferior to Zhang Yan's, so he just controlled him.
Zhang Yan was controlled by Tao Sheng, and he gathered various departments of the Montenegrin Army in his name. However, the fire could not be prevented, and many commanders of the Montenegrin Army still split off and fought against Tao Sheng.
Among them was Bai Rao, Sui Gu's handsome man who was also the pottery's fair-weather friend.
However, Tao Sheng used Zhang Yan's reputation to control most of the Black Mountain Army, and he also had the support of Cao Cao, Zhang Baiqi and others behind him, so he was still the strongest.
How many brushes Bai Lao has? Others don't know, but the potter knows best.
You can't even figure out who Yuan Shaoqian's son is, how can you expect him to have a close relationship with Cao Cao?
If you can hold on until now without losing your life, that's pretty good.
However, after listening to Sui Gu's description of the incident involving the Black Mountain Army, the pottery merchant couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Why does it sound familiar?
At that time, Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, and Han Sui were taken over by Cao Cao in Chang'an. The method of what happened now is almost like a retreat from that incident.
