Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 67 Second Elder, You Don't Want to...

In Heiqi Valley, the Second Elder has a high status.

To the west of Heiqi City, there is a magnificent hall, the Hall of Famous Soldiers.

Every seven days, the Second Elder will go to the Martial Arts Hall to give lectures and teach the art of war. Anyone can attend.

At other times, the Second Presbyterian would live in seclusion in a thatched hut by the lake three miles away from Heiqi City. In this place called "Soldier Hut" by outsiders, he devoted himself to studying the art of war.

When Zhang Qi arrived at the Binghu.

In the distance, he saw a man in white standing alone by the lake fishing, not far away was a thatched hut.In the Black Riding Valley, which is dominated by black, this man in white looks a bit out of place.

"This should be the second elder."

Zhang Qi looked at the men in white clothes fishing by the lake. He had already learned from Xu Zhi that the only person in white clothes in Heiqi Valley was the Second Elder.

"I heard that the second elder has a bad temper."

Zhang Qi raised his feet and walked towards the man in white by the lake, thinking about what to say after meeting in his mind...

Just got halfway there.

The man in white who was fishing by the lake suddenly threw away the fishing rod in his hand, and lamented to the lake: "I have been in a cage for ten years, when will I be able to return home..."

Hearing this, Zhang Qi couldn't help but stop, with a surprised expression on his face.

What do you mean?
Why did the Second Elder make such a resentful exclamation?

It seems that it came at the wrong time.

He turned around to leave and come back another day.

"stop."

After walking a few steps, Zhang Qi heard a cold scolding sound coming from behind. He turned around and saw the Second Elder in white striding towards him.

The Second Elder was much younger than he had imagined.

He looked like he was in his thirties, with a beard under his chin, elegant appearance, gentle temperament, but there was a strong sense of desolation in his eyes.

"Junior Zhang Qi, I have met the Second Elder."

Zhang Qi stood where he was, and bowed his hands to the second elder who was walking quickly.

The second elder squinted his long and narrow eyes, stared at Zhang Qi, and asked in a bad tone: "What did you hear just now?"

"I……"

Zhang Qi was about to deny it, but when he saw the domineering look of the second elder, he felt that this matter might not be good, so he changed his mind, took a step forward, and said in a low voice:
"Second Elder, you don't want me to pass on what I just heard, do you?"

"..."

The second elder stared at Zhang Qi with wide eyes, and for a while, didn't know how to respond.

Obviously.

He didn't expect that Zhang Qi would dare to turn against the client and threaten him instead.

this moment.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

It's all because he was homesick just now, and accidentally said what was in his heart.

It's fine for others to hear the complaint just now, but if that person finds out...

The second elder couldn't help shivering.

"You are so brave!"

The Second Elder raised his elder airs and said with a sneer, "However, it's too naive for you to try to threaten this Elder with this."

"The elder misunderstood."

Zhang Qi said truthfully: "The junior came to visit today, just wanting to receive some errands from the second elder to earn money to support himself, that's all."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the second elder's heart moved, his eyes turned around Zhang Qi, and he asked, "Do you know the art of war?"

Zhang Qi shook his head: "I don't understand."

The second elder said with a cold face: "I don't know the art of war, why did you come to find this elder?"

"If you don't understand, you can learn."

Zhang Qi said with a serious face: "As long as the second elder is willing to teach, the younger generation will learn it very quickly."

"What a big breath."

When the second elder heard this, he almost laughed angrily.

The way of the art of war is inclusive, strange and true, and endlessly changing. It is not something that a cat or a dog can learn.

Only those with great wisdom can enter this door.

When he was about to reprimand him, Zhang Qi suddenly asked, "I wonder if the Second Elder is interested in mathematics?"

"Math?"

The second elder was slightly taken aback.

Arithmetic, also known as mathematics, was one of the six arts of a gentleman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and almost every son of aristocrat had to learn it.After all, if you can't even count, how to manage your own land and property.

In daily life, arithmetic is used in field surveying, city construction, money and goods transactions, etc.In the military, arithmetic is even more important. Whether it is terrain surveys or marching formations, arithmetic is inseparable.

It can be said that every master of the art of war is a master of arithmetic.

The Second Elder stared at Zhang Qi, who was boastful, and couldn't help but said, "Could it be that you know how to do arithmetic?"

Zhang Qi said bluntly: "In this world, no one understands better than me."

"what."

The Second Elder let out a laugh and shook his head, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.

"The elder will test you."

"Please."

Half an hour later, the second elder had a ghostly expression on his face.

He asked six arithmetic problems in a row, but this kid named Zhang Qi just wrote some ghost symbols on the ground with his fingers, and then answered the correct answer in the blink of an eye.

To know.

Among them was a question, he calculated the final result after a day and a night.

But this kid only took half a stick of incense time...not yet.

"What sorcery is this?"

The Second Elder suppressed the shock in his heart, pointed at the 'ghost symbols' on the ground, thinking that Zhang Qi had borrowed the power of ghosts and gods.

"Not witchcraft."

Zhang Qi said: "This is the theorem and formula of mathematics."

The second elder opened his mouth slightly, with a dazed look on his face.

Zhang Qi looked at the confused and shocked Second Elder, smiled and said, "If the Second Elder wants to learn, I can teach you."

"what!"

The second elder's body shook, and he stared blankly at Zhang Qi.

After half an hour.

He said with a complicated expression: "From now on, I will teach you the art of war, and you will teach me arithmetic. In private, we will be friends of the same generation."

Only then did Zhang Qi know that the Second Elder's surname was Xu, and each character was beautiful.

Just 30 years old this year.

At the invitation of Second Elder Xu Xiu, Zhang Qi came to his barracks, originally to sit for a while.

As a result, one sitting is a day.

It wasn't until dark that Zhang Qi was released by the reluctant Xu Xiu.

In the previous life, the Second Elder Xu Xiu was definitely a university bully. Xu Xiu would be able to learn these mathematics knowledge from the later life, and he would draw inferences by analogy.

Zhang Qi finally realized that being a teacher is not so easy.

He taught Xu Xiu mathematics, and Xu Xiu taught him the art of war.

pity.

Unlike Xu Xiu who already has a good foundation in mathematics, he has no foundation in the art of war. Xu Xiu can only teach him from scratch.

Such treatment, in Heiqi Valley, is definitely scorpion shit——

only one.

When he left, Xu Xiu also gave him a few military books, asking him to read more when he had time.

Go back to Blackstone Lodge.

Zhang Qi found that a black box suddenly appeared on the stone table in the house.

Go over there, open it and have a look.

Good guy.

The box was actually full of iron wire grass, and all of them were high-quality iron wire grass of high age.

"This smell... so good!"

Zhang Qi took a sip, and after confirming that it was correct, he couldn't help showing surprise.

Who sent these grasses?
