I hang up for retirement in the martial arts world

Chapter 11
The land outside the Great Wall, on the grassland.

More than ten riders and horses galloped on the grassland.Looking at his clothes and attire, he seems to be a member of the Yuzhou frontier army.

I saw that the leader among them took the lead, followed by more than a dozen people scattered around, and the flying horses moved forward.

They are people stationed in Lulongsai, an important border point near the grassland.

The leader, Yu Zhongjie, was an official of the scout battalion in the army.Belonging to Lulongsai Zuoying, Cavalry Colonel He Beiwang's command.He was ordered to go deep into the grassland to search for traces of the Hu tribe.

In the middle of the line, suddenly two riders came running from a distance, blending into the formation like swallows returning to the forest.

It was the people he sent to investigate farther away.

The visitor did not dismount, and reported to Yu Zhongjie solemnly: "Master, along the way, there are many footprints of people and livestock on the grassland, but there have been no Hu tribe troops."

It took them many days to go deep into the grassland for hundreds of miles.Yu Zhongjie had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Something's wrong! Could it be that these barbarians are migrating?!"

"This investigation is not limited to our route. I don't know what is going on with the other routes. The Hu people are moving north at this time, and there must be changes!"

"We must hurry back to Lulongsai and report to the general."

It shouldn't be.

The Hu people are nomadic people on horseback, and they migrate according to the seasons and climates all the year round.But this time is the time when the grass is abundant and the water is beautiful in the grasslands and pastures, and it is far from the time when the Hu people migrated northward in the past.

"Everyone, rest for a quarter of an hour, pack up and feed the horses, let's go back to camp!"

"Yes!" The rest of the people responded one after another, ordering and prohibiting.

The Lulongsai military camp is stationed in the big tent.

General Anbei Duanmu Yuanjie frowned at this moment.

The changes in the grassland that the staff under the tent said made his heart tense.

"The barbarians have always been ambitious and coveted our Central Plains. Their eyes and ears frequently crossed our borders three times. The scouts in the army fought with them and suffered a lot of casualties. In just the past six months, there have been more than dozens of soldiers. Hmph!" Speaking of this, Duanmu Yuanjie Angry in my heart, I couldn't bear to say any more, and snorted coldly.

The atmosphere in the account was also suffocated, and all the generals under him were silent.

After a while, Duanmu Yuanjie continued.

"Nowadays, Shanyu, a barbarian, gathers a large number of tribes."

"I'm afraid that his intentions are not good. If he starts a war to integrate the troops, how can little Lu Longsai stop it all of a sudden?"

"Come on!" he ordered decisively.

"From now on, the whole army will be on alert, and we will continue to send out scouts to investigate day and night."

"Flying Pigeon Capital, report to Your Majesty."

"Send people to Xiping County to inform Yuzhou Zhouzhi, and ask him to mobilize troops from surrounding counties and counties to come here to prevent the Hu people from sneaking in. Within ten days, I will see at least [-] support troops in the army!"

This is not over yet, Duanmu Yuanjie said again.

"Notify all sects and forces in Yuzhou's rivers and lakes, and ask them to send people to help. Beware of Huren masters who may appear at any time."

Although there are masters in the army, after all, the number is too small to compete with the strength of the Hu people.

This is also what it should mean. This is a war with foreign races. If the barbarians break Yuzhou and Yuzhou destroys the lives of the people, how can the sects of the Jianghu live in peace?
Under the cover of the nest, there are no eggs!
The frontier is turbulent, and the rivers and lakes are also undercurrents.

But this storm has not yet reached the Central Plains.Even in the hinterland of Yuzhou, the counties in various places are still calm and peaceful, and the years are good.

I don't know how long this peace and tranquility can last.

Chen Yi doesn't know what's going on thousands of miles away, even if he knows, he doesn't care.

There is no need for him to worry about family and country affairs.The sky is falling, the tall ones will be the first to stand up, and the affairs of the frontier are free to worry about.

He was still immersed in his peaceful life as a pastoral landowner.

Handing over the severely damaged wooden knife in his hand, Chen Yi's nerves collapsed, and Chen Yi's breathing was unsteady after a lot of exercise.

Just practiced with the basic knife style and the guardian courtyard with a stick technique.

He is trying to make up for the various countermeasures of basic knife skills in actual combat.

This nursing home is also very simple and honest, and they don't show mercy. As a result, there are many stick marks and bruises on Chen Yi's body, which need to be dealt with carefully.

Fortunately, Chen Yi is magnanimous, and it is inevitable that some accidental injuries will occur during martial arts practice.It's better to be beaten sooner than later.

Could it be that in the future when you go outside to fight with others, can you still count on your opponent to be merciful?
After practicing the knife, take a short rest and finish applying the medicinal wine.But it's not over yet, Chen Yi turned around and went to practice piano.

The palms and fingertips still have a bit of qi and blood remaining, which is more sensitive than usual, and the mind is not completely relaxed after training, so it needs to be adjusted.It's a good time to practice the piano.

Not far from the back mountain, in a simple bamboo hut.

Chen Yi sat and played the piano, with a correct posture.

"People who love the qin need to calm down and calm down. If you are restless and impatient, you can't plan strategies and stay calm when things change, and you can't get the real fun in the qin."

Qu Qing is a well-known luthier, when he is having banquets in various houses in the city, he is often invited to play for the guests, and he is also polite and considerate to them.

He was explaining and guiding Chen Yi.

"There are sages who once said, but if you have the fun in the piano, why bother to play the strings. The art of the piano is not just playing, but also a bit of worldly truth."

"One is to listen, the other is to understand, and the third is to understand. These are the three essentials for everyone who learns the piano."

"Listeners can know the tone of the piano when they hear it. Such as Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, this is the basis. If you can read the music score, you can get the fun of music theory."

"Those who are proficient will be able to reveal some of the subtleties when they get the score. The technical techniques of playing, such as breaking, holding, wiping, picking, hooking, picking, hitting, etc., are profound and difficult to achieve."

"There are enlightened ones. So far, they are proficient in music theory and accomplished in skills. If you want to go further, you can get the way of the piano. Only enlightenment."

Qu Qing said with quite Wen Qing's emotion: "To realize the Dao of Qin, this is no ordinary person. Skill, chance, and talent are all indispensable. They are all made by nature, and they can already be called masters of this Dao. To be respected and treated as a guest of honor.”

Chen Yi listened interestingly, and his heart sank.

But after all, he doesn't rely on this skill for a living, and he has no yearning for the future of Qin Dao described by Qu Qing.It is naturally best to be able to achieve something, and there is no hindrance if it is not achieved.

What is the use of playing the piano no matter how good it is for people who don't know how to appreciate etiquette? After all, it is to live by looking at other people's colors.

If you are in troubled times, you are just an actor, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to save your life.This is not what he yearns for, he has a better future.

But right now, since it’s just a beginner’s practice, of course you have to listen to the teacher carefully ~ study hard and make progress every day!
"Well, one small goal a day, today, let's listen to the teacher playing the piano more~~~" Chen Yi thought to himself.

He was very satisfied with his stable life, and even his urgency for success in martial arts faded a bit.

I don't know if it is because of this, but he has made great progress in martial arts.

In just three months, the physique and internal strength have gone a step further.

Fist and kick, the previous sentence is proficient, and the foundation of sword technique is also pragmatic.

If the knife manual can be read and understood, the next step is to try to cooperate with the internal force and try to get started with vertical and horizontal knife techniques.
