Chapter 42 High mountains and flowing water show peace
As summer turns to autumn, more than two months have passed since Mr. Xin left Yunzhou, and Lin Ye's injuries have also recovered.
He practiced Qigong every day and didn't know how he was doing. He just felt that his body was getting stronger.
Mr. Xin told him to be more aware of himself. If there is any hidden danger of the true energy, let him follow the method in [Zhou Tian Shen Shu] to remove the true energy.
But he sensed his body every day, but he never noticed the existence of the true energy, nor did he notice anything unusual.
The expansion of the martial arts hall was completed much faster than expected. After all, it was Tuoba Yunxi's responsibility, and no one dared to take it lightly.
The master's wife and the others moved back to the martial arts school from Lao Chen's small courtyard. Lin Ye thought that although Xiao Zinai did not have the talent for martial arts, it would not be good for her to be alone at home every day.
So I discussed with her that from now on I would take her with me to the martial arts gym every day. If she wanted to learn, she would learn, and if she didn't want to learn, she would just play in the martial arts gym.
But Xiao Zinai doesn't like going to the martial arts gym. After knowing Lin Ye for almost three months, she has regained her cheerfulness, but she still doesn't want to go out on the street, leave this small courtyard, and she doesn't want to see too many people.
people.
When Lin Ye is not at home, as soon as the courtyard door is closed, this is her whole world.
Lin Ye knew that he couldn't force it. Fortunately, he had been teaching Xiao Zina to cook for more than two months. At least she would not be hungry anymore.
Fortunately, there is Xiaohan. The dog knows first whether the food cooked by Xiaohan is delicious or not.
The day when the martial arts gym reopened was so lively. Not only did the neighbors come to congratulate them, but also many big shots who didn't even know Yan Xiniu and Lei Hongliu came.
Even the Governor of Yunzhou Prefecture was present in person and presented a plaque written by him himself.
This wealthy family sent a lot of brand-new furniture, and the wealthy family sent a big show for five consecutive days. They started the gong outside the martial arts hall. You sang and I came on stage, which made it exciting.
Yan Xiniu and Lei Hongliu were tired of coping and always had to accompany Smiley Face, so their faces became stiff.
The disciples were all practicing in the backyard. Lei Hongliu didn't want them to go to the front and keep bowing and thanking them, so he let them practice separately.
There are so many people here, including relatives who can't be touched by eight poles, and all of them have sincere family affection that is thicker than water.
Lei Fenglei also came, looking very happy.
Now he is no longer wearing the official uniform of the Chief Constable of Yunzhou Prefecture, but has suddenly become the second-in-command in the government office... Mr. Fu Cheng.
This brocade robe looks much more majestic than the chief inspector's robe, and his power is naturally much greater.
All three thousand state soldiers in Yunzhou City were under his command. He was directly promoted from a sixth-rank official to a fourth-rank official. It is not an exaggeration to say that he rose to prominence.
The opportunities in life are so wonderful and endless.
Lin Ye and Xue Tongchui were practicing in the backyard. Xue Tongchui pointed at his belt: "Brother Xiao Si, what are these four? They are so beautiful."
Lin Ye lowered his head and looked down. He saw the two red ropes of the blind man and the lame man wrapped around his belt. The two dark red threads turned into a beautiful embellishment.
But this is not an embellishment on his life path, but the life path he wants to take, which is thin, narrow, and still bloody.
"Can you give me one?"
Xue Tongchui asked.
Lin Ye shook his head: "I can't do this. I'll give you a more beautiful one later."
Xue Tongchui groaned and pointed to another thing hanging on Lin Ye's belt: "Can you give me this?"
Lin Ye shook his head again: "Not even this."
It was a fluffy big-headed bear, made by Xiao Zinai himself. It was a unique big-headed bear in the world, with a bow tie.
By the afternoon, most of the guests had dispersed, and those who remained were either those who were really close to her, or those who shamelessly stayed to get close to her.
Lin Ye walked around to the front yard while no one was paying attention. In the concierge on the side of the main entrance, the second senior brother Tan Bingchen was packing his things.
He had already gone to work for the princess. Knowing that there was a lot going on at the martial arts school today, he specifically asked for leave to help.
Lin Ye has always respected this second senior brother, and he respected him even more after learning about his life experience.
Tan Bingchen's father was a captain in the Beiye Army. In the first battle of Saibei, 70,000 Beiye troops faced off against Lou Fan's 360,000 troops.
Tan Bingchen's father was killed in that battle. On the battlefield, the fighting soldiers retreated. Yan Xiniu, a member of the Huotou Army, and a group of auxiliary soldiers went up to bring back the bodies of their comrades.
The Loufan people were vicious and took advantage of this moment to launch a surprise attack, killing and injuring thousands of Dayu's auxiliary soldiers.
Yan Xiniu ran back with Tan Bingchen's father's body on his back. He was hit by two arrows in his arm and gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
Later, Yan Xiniu was seriously injured and retired. After recuperating for a while, he opened a martial arts gym in Yunzhou. Tan Bingchen, a teenager, showed up as a mourner and kowtowed to Yan Xiniu nine times after entering.
From that day on, he was the second senior brother of the martial arts school, and he would do all the dirty work.
When walking on the street, if anyone points fingers at him, he will never pay attention to him. But if he hears someone say something bad about his master and his wife, this honest man will rush towards him with his teeth bared, like a man-eating wolf.
.
He once bit his teeth into pieces and his mouth was filled with blood. He endured the pain of bereavement and hid in a corner to lick his wounds alone.
So he couldn't tolerate others slandering the person who brought his father back, not even a single word.
When the brothers and sisters were joking, they would say that Master was stingy, stingy, and shameless, but he would not interrupt and would occasionally smile.
He can tell the difference between inside and outside, knows distance and distance, and can keep the boundaries between closeness and distance.
Outsiders can't do it, and no one can do it. He has nothing but this life, so use this life to be the wall in front of the master and his wife.
Anyone can get close to the Beiye Prince's Mansion in Yunzhou City?
Even if they want to hit the wall, those skilled and fierce soldiers of the Kitano Army can easily put people at a distance where they can hit the wall?
That day, the master gave him a note, saying that you might be able to save his wife by going to Kitano Prince's Mansion to ask for help.
He didn't ask anything and ran towards Beiye Prince's Palace. Outside the palace, there were three lines of defense: one light, two dark, and three.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, six of his bones had actually been broken. He knelt down outside the gate of the palace to beg for permission. The guards came to drive him away, but he refused to leave.
Someone threw him out. He turned back, broke through the blockade of dozens of soldiers, and hit his head against the courtyard wall.
Many people knew that he came back a little late that night. Princess Tuoba Yunxi had already removed the threat before he arrived.
Who knew that when he came back, he endured the pain of broken bones and ran all the way?
He said, I am the second senior brother in the martial arts school. When the senior brother is away, I am the eldest son. If something happens, the eldest son will be there.
Master Lei Hongliu said many times that you will delay your future in the martial arts school. He doesn't care about the future. His father is gone and his mother is gone because of her grief. His filial piety has been lost to Yan Xiniu.
and Lei Hongliu.
It was also on that day when the martial arts hall was besieged and he knelt outside the palace asking for help that he realized how useless people are, no matter how humble they are.
So he agreed to his wife to work for the princess.
"Little junior brother."
Tan Bingchen laughed when he saw Lin Ye, looking much more friendly than when Lin Ye first arrived at the martial arts gym.
That's because Tan Bingchen knew that the junior brother blocked the door of the martial arts gym that day, and made the same choice as him, becoming a wall in front of his master and his wife.
Yes, everyone is close and distant, but is this wrong?
Before you are recognized as a relative or friend by others, why do you ask others to treat you as a relative or friend?
"Second Senior Brother."
Lin Ye leaned over to salute.
Tan Bingchen held his arm: "You will make me feel more and more unfamiliar in the future."
He asked: "What are you doing here?"
Lin Ye said: "I saw many guests came today, so I came here out of curiosity to take a look."
He didn't come to see anyone, he just wanted to see the gift book.
The blind uncle said that an enemy had changed his name to Gao Xian and was doing business in Yunzhou.
But Yunzhou City is too big, and business people travel all over the country. The blind uncle and the lame uncle dare not expose themselves easily, so the investigation is very difficult.
Lin Ye thought about trying his luck here. If Gao Xian was still a speculator, he might come to the martial arts school to look for opportunities.
Of course, this is also a method like finding a needle in a haystack. After all, Gao Xian once betrayed the frontier army. If his identity is known by the people of King Kitano, it would be strange if he is not chopped into pieces.
Loufan people have always been dissatisfied with Dayu, and Dayu naturally dissatisfied with Loufan. The two countries competed, and the small country suffered.
On the frontal battlefield, the Loufan people could not suppress the Dayu border troops, so they could only use some secret methods.
If Gao Xian doesn't leave Yunzhou, either he is stupid, or he has a bigger plot or greater interests.
Lin Ye actually didn't expect to see anything in the gift book, but he had to do something.
Tan Bingchen smiled and said: "This room is full of gifts, you can see for yourself... It just so happens that I have sorted out the list of gift books. You will hand them over to Master and Madam in a moment. Someone from the palace just now asked me to hurry up."
Go back, the princess has something for me to take care of, the master and master are still waiting for guests, so I won’t bother you, please remember to send it over later."
Lin Ye hummed and sent Tan Bingchen out. After returning to the room, he looked through the gift book.
It was so densely packed that there were not only 800 people but 800 people who came to send congratulatory gifts today. Lin Ye looked carefully, but did not see the name Gao Xian.
Knowing this was the result, Lin Ye was still a little disappointed.
His hands gently stroked the two red ropes on his belt, thinking about what to do.
Yunzhou is so big. The population of Yunzhou City alone may be one million. After all, it is one of the largest cities in the Dayu Dynasty.
Gao Xian is difficult to find even in Yunzhou City. If he is hiding in the prefectures and counties below Yunzhou, it will be extremely difficult to find him among tens of millions of people.
At this moment, Lin Ye saw his master and his wife escorting the guests out. The man seemed to be of high status, and his words and deeds showed an extraordinary temperament. Although he was wearing a long cloth gown, he could not be seen in the government office.
Several officials there walked behind him.
"Everyone, please stay."
When he got to the door, the man smiled and said, "No need to send me any more, just say goodbye."
Everyone stopped and leaned towards him and saluted: "Send Mr. Ning off. Mr. Ning walks slowly."
Lin Ye was curious about this person's identity, so he went to the window to look before he went out, and saw the person going out and getting into a carriage.
In front of and behind the car, there were actually golden crow riders, who turned out to be people from the city lord's palace.
Not long after the carriages and horses left, Lin Ye was about to look away when he saw several more vehicles passing by. They should be some kind of convoy of a trading company, and there were flags of the trading company on the carriages.
Lin Ye didn't pay attention at all, but because of the beautiful font, he took a few more glances.
There are two flags on the left and right. One side has the words "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" written on it, and the other side has the words "Peace" written on it.
