Han Xiang

Chapter 118 Longchamp's Little Tail
Long Xiang was instructing Xu Chu to pick him up when he suddenly saw Qiao Ni appearing in his sight.

Remembering that Qiao Niu wanted to find Xu Chu to learn martial arts, Long Xiang beckoned Qiao Niu to him.

"Zhongkang, Mr. Qiao admires your martial arts and wants to learn a few hands from you. What do you think?"

Qiao Ni looked at Xu Chu excitedly, but was thrown "a basin of cold water" by the other party.

"The Martial Art of the Martial General is a killing skill, not a trick for playing."

Xu Chu frowned and said a few words, then suddenly grabbed Qiao Yi's hand and looked at it, then shook his head: "Learning martial arts is very hard, I think you are delicate and expensive, so it is best to study and practice calligraphy. If you really want to try, you can find a Archers learn to shoot."

"I am not afraid of hardship."

Qiao Ni was 'sarcastically' and politely rejected by Xu Chu, but it aroused his inner reluctance to admit defeat.

When rebutting, Qiao Ni looked straight at Long Xiang, as if saying that you promised.

Long Xiang smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Since the young master is self-motivated, why should Zhongkang be stingy? You can teach him a few things as you like."

Xu Chu's appearance is rough, but his heart is very delicate. Seeing Long Xiang continue to persuade him, he stroked his beard and said, "I dare not disobey the general's order, but my martial art is mainly based on strength and secondary on skill. You must practice first." Practice."

"Practice? How to practice?" Qiao Ni was confused.

Xu Chu looked left and right, strode towards the courtyard wall next to him, then picked up a stone the size of a watermelon, and weighed it like a balloon in front of the bridge.

"Heavy objects such as stones can be used. After you have practiced to a certain level, I will teach you martial arts and weapons."

Xu Chu sent the stone to the bridgeman, but when the bridgeman caught it with both hands, his body sank. He was shocked by the weight of the stone in his hand, and even more shocked by Xu Chu's exaggerated strength.

"General Xu, to what extent do I want to practice?"

The bridgeman bowed with his arms around the stone, gravity made him bend down, and his speech was not as sharp as before.

Xu Chu grabbed the stone with one hand, then threw his body backwards and forwards.

boom!
The stone that weighed on the tender waist of the bent bridge flew straight two feet away and hit a tree in the courtyard.

Seeing Qiao Nian's surprised face, Xu Chu clapped his hands: "As long as you can throw half as far as before, you are qualified to learn my martial arts and weapons."

"Oh" Qiao Ni swallowed.

Seeing that the bridge guard had been dismissed, Xu Chu immediately turned around and clasped his fists at Long Xiang, "General, you should be busy first, and the general will go to choose someone."

"Go." Long Xiang waved lightly.

As soon as Xu Chu's front foot left, Qiao Yi, with fresh energy, ran to the tree just now to practice strength by bouldering.

Long Xiang saw the funny look of the bridgeman, walked over to take away the stones, and said earnestly: "Practice strength step by step, you can find lighter ones first, and then increase the weight when you have enough strength. Directly using such heavy objects will hurt your body." .”

Seeing that Long Xiang was holding it easily, Qiao Nu scratched his head and asked, "Can strength really be developed? Could it be because of my young age? When I reach your age, I should be able to hold it easily, right?"

Long Xiang imitated Xu Chu and threw it, but the distance was less than ten feet.

He shook his head with a bitter expression on his face: "Strength will increase with age, but the increase is not enough. Martial arts training mainly depends on acquired practice. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask Madam. General Qiao should have practiced in his early years. I I also practiced a lot when I was in the army."

"Really?" Qiao Ren repeatedly confirmed.

Long Xiang suddenly jumped back, took a standard horse stance in front of Qiao Ren, and patted his thigh.

"Strength is not just hand strength, it is the energy of the whole body. This is the basic skill of the lower body that I often practiced when I was in the army. You can try to pull me to see if you can pull it out of the original position."

"Oh? Then I'll give it a try."

Qiao Ni was immediately excited. He first pulled it with one hand, but Long Xiang didn't move at all. Then he tried it with both hands, and it was still as stable as Mount Tai.

After being 'teached' by Long Xiang, Qiao Ni found a small stone to 'play', and Long Xiang smiled and went out to work.

Qiao Ni was bored playing alone in the courtyard, and soon returned to the back house with a stone in his hand, and sat in the pavilion with empty eyes.

Soon after, Qiao Wei accompanied Mrs. Chen to enjoy the cool air in the pavilion, and saw Qiao's decadent appearance.

"Ni'er, shouldn't you be in the vestibule? Long Yunqi didn't find Xu Chu?" Chen asked with a frown.

Qiao Ni came back to his senses, and replied bitterly: "General Xu happened to be here today, and the boy also talked to him."

"Then why are you?"

"The situation is like this. General Xu said that you should practice your strength first."

Qiao Yi vividly described everything that happened just now, including Long Xiang's suggestion.

Qiao Wei said to herself: "He also has such good martial arts?"

"Elder sister, you don't know that just now Long Yunqi stood in front of him, his two feet seemed to be growing on the ground, no matter how much I pulled them, I couldn't move them." Qiao Ni said while imitating Long Xiang's horse step.

"like this?"

With a little force from Qiao Wei, the bridge immediately lost its center of gravity and began to shake.

Qiao Ni took advantage of the situation and sat on the stone bench again, muttering: "I can't learn his tricks, but his strength is not small anyway."

"It's not that he is strong, but that the third brother is small." Qiao Wei sat beside Chen Shi with a smile.

Chen said with a blank eye: "I heard from your father that Long Yunqi once retreated Zhang Fei alone, and he must have some real skills. What he said just now is not wrong. The general also practiced strength often when he was young. You have to imagine Like your father, you have to practice hard every day, and when you meet Xu Chu's requirements, he will naturally teach you techniques."

"I don't think it's necessary." Qiao Wei suddenly disagreed.

Chen looked curious: "How?"

"Xu Chu is so powerful, don't you want to obey Long Yunqi? Why didn't the third brother learn from him directly? You said he has real skills"

When Qiao Wei spoke, a red glow appeared on her cheeks unconsciously.

After meeting again after a year or two, the more I look at Long Xiang, the more I feel pleasing to the eye, especially the side face in the sunset yesterday, Qiao Wei planted a seed in her heart.

Although Qiao Wei concealed it well, she was noticed by her capable mother.

Chen thought calmly, thinking that Long Xiang seems to have great ambitions to occupy Hefei, and he is a good match for his daughter.

Chen planned to observe for a while longer, and if Long Xiang had the same intention, she would wait until the end of the filial piety period to find someone to make peace with.

"Xiaowei is right. Now the front yard and back house are separated by a wall. If you have nothing to do, you can go to him for advice. You can learn all his advantages. If you encounter problems, come back and tell me. Mom will help you. Remember to put down Mr. Qiao's words." Figure, don't forget that he is now the master of Hefei."

Chen ignored Qiao Wei, but patiently advised Qiao Wei.

"Oh" Qiao Nu nodded silly.

For a while after that, Qiao Ni ran to the vestibule whenever he had nothing to do, and followed Long Xiang like a little follower.

There is no name of entourage, but there is the reality of entourage.

July is the summer harvest in Hefei, and the city is busy with official grain storage and celebrations.

Long Xiang didn't have time to entangle with Qiao Ren, so he could only let him follow by his side, and since then he has a little tail.
