Legend of the Knight

Chapter 68 Jiang Yu
Huang Xiaoshi stepped on the time, and after arranging the affairs of Shennong Baicaomen in Luoyang, he walked towards Shuzhong alone.

In the eyes of outsiders, Huang Xiaoshi was in a hurry to go back to attend Gong Guangjie's wedding.

Although Gong Guangjie's big wedding was after the winter, but as Gong Guangjie's only direct disciple and the head of the sect, it was normal for Huang Xiaoshi to go back earlier.

In fact, according to traditional customs, the wedding has already begun, and Gong Guangjie has already proposed marriage to the woman’s family. The next step is to "combine the eight characters", "to pass the small ceremony", "to pass the big ceremony", "to choose a date", and the last day is the wedding (some Local villages still retain some customs).

This process will take at least three or four months, usually from the autumn harvest to the bustling winter and before the New Year.

As a direct disciple, Huang Xiaoshi can be regarded as Gong Guangjie's closest relative. He can do all these procedures and needs to be present throughout the process.

Weddings and funerals are major events in life, and whether or not they are close or not is often manifested in such occasions.

Don't think it's troublesome. There are some things that you can't get close to a certain level, so you're not eligible to participate.

Of course, Huang Xiaoshi rushed to Shuzhong because he knew that a big event was going to happen in Shuzhong, and he had to settle his "new identity" before this big event happened.

Huang Xiaoshi only knew that at this point in time King Cheng would be looking for the prince and heir in the middle of Shu, but he didn't know the cause and effect of the whole incident.

If Huang Xiaoshi knew that this incident was deliberately induced by [Beichou Intelligence], he might be scared to death.

After all, even if there is an impenetrable wall in the world, there is still an all-knowing and omnipotent GM. Anything you do may be turned over and shaken out by the GM.

In front of the GM, no one has privacy.

It can be seen that the GM is always in control of the progress of the world's plot, and they can use the release of certain news to guide the world's plot to the direction of the script they have preset.

Logically speaking, the GM would not deliberately embarrass the player, or deliberately leak the player's information to the NPC, but who can say for sure.

In particular, Huang Xiaoshi is determined to be a shit-stirring stick, to stir this big cesspit more evenly. Is this following the wishes of those "fun people" who are watching the theater, or is it going against their wishes?

This is something that Huang Xiaoshi will never understand.

Shuzhong is about three thousand miles away from Luoyang, and Huang Xiaoshi will have to travel for quite a while.

……

After Huang Xiaoshi went down the mountain, Weiming also planned to go to Luoyang City.

This accompanied Huang Xiaoshi in Xiaoyao Valley for a month without leaving home, and now it is not clear that he needs to do some activities.

More figuratively speaking, Weiming now has too much money on his body and too little wine in his belly.

As soon as he arrived in Luoyang City, Weiming's eyes were sharp, and he saw Jiang Yu at a glance, and Jiang Yu was chatting with a young man beside him.

Compared with the vast majority of people, Jiang Yu was born with a golden key in his mouth, and he is really envious of others.

However, Jiang Yu also has Jiang Yu's troubles.

Weiming has just turned sixteen this year, but his height is already a head taller than Huang Xiaoshi's.

Unknown's figure is extremely slender, although the muscles of the whole body are not particularly prominent, they are extremely tight.

Once after practicing martial arts, he saw Weiming jumping into the lake under the waterfall to take a bath, Huang Xiaoshi couldn't help mumbling, "The children are developing so well now" or something.

Jiang Yu turned 1.6 this year and is less than five feet ([-] meters) tall. She probably won't grow any longer in this life.

Of course, Jiang Yu is not a dwarf like Jiao Da. His body and limbs are extremely well-proportioned, but it just gives people the feeling that he is not grown up.

With Jiang Yu's petite figure and his childlike round face, if he was born in another wealthy family, he would be very popular with women.

But the problem now is that Jiang Yu is the only son of Jiang Tianxiong and the only descendant of Tiangang Wujiquan, so why the heroes generally feel sorry for Jiang Tianxiong's retirement? It gives people a sense of trust that can provoke Heluo's heavy burden.

As the saying goes, the tiger father dog son.

It was especially evident in Jiang Tianxiong and Jiang Yu.

[Tiangang Promise Kung Fu] is a very special internal skill. It not only requires extremely high aptitude, but also requires excellent bones.

Because [Tiangang Promise Kungfu] puts a huge load on the body when it is in operation, and the strength of the root bone represents the upper limit of ability.

It may be that the son follows his mother more, Jiang Yu's body can be seen by a blind person, and martial arts training is inferior, only a little bit better than a man with a disability.

Therefore, even though Jiang Yu has obtained Jiang Tianxiong's true biography now, his [Tiangang Wuji Kungfu] has reached the ceiling, and he is stuck at the first-class level in the world.

Right now, Jiang Tianxiong is facing a similar predicament as old man Qi. He is the only son in his family but not talented in martial arts. After passing down so many generations of martial arts, is there anyone who can succeed him?

When it comes to this, the two of them can be said to be sympathetic to each other, and they both have a sense of anxiety and loss that becomes more and more lingering with age.

This again involves a difficult problem that has plagued mankind for thousands of years: how good parents always give birth to good children.

And the answer to this puzzle is: no solution.

Countless parents of academic masters in later generations gave birth to an ordinary or even mediocre child, which proves this point. Although it is said that the inheritance of advantages is a high probability, it is not inevitable.

Qi Li is not suitable for martial arts training, she is a girl after all, if she can't do it, she can't do it, anyway, she will get married in the future.

Besides, wild ball boxing, anyway, will be lost sooner or later, and it doesn't care about this generation or two.

But Jiang Yu is Jiang Tianxiong's only son, whether he wants to or not, the centuries-old martial arts heritage of the Jiang family and the title of Heluo Hero must all belong to him.

Of course, the difference between Jiang Tianxiong's case and old man Qi's is that old man Qi's wife died early and he had no money to continue, so he only had one daughter.

But Jiang Tianxiong has only one son, which is his own choice.

In other words, Jiang Tianxiong was the first person who could understand [Tiangang Promise Kung Fu] since it was introduced to the Jiang family for a hundred years.

Moreover, Jiang Tianxiong has always maintained a boyish body in order to practice this supreme yang skill.

In order to pursue the ultimate in martial arts, Jiang Tianxiong got married very late, and creating humans was like a job. When the first child was born as a boy, Jiang Tianxiong was considered to have completed the task of passing incense.

After that, Jiang Tianxiong devoted himself to practicing martial arts, and never asked about men and women again.

Hard work pays off, when Jiang Tianxiong was not yet [-] years old, he finally stepped over a threshold that many martial arts practitioners could not reach in their lifetime, and stepped into a super-first-class state.

That year, Jiang Tianxiong was overjoyed. He held a banquet for his [-]th birthday, which was actually to celebrate his breakthrough in martial arts.

Unexpectedly, at this birthday banquet, No. 1 Wuxiazi of the martial arts came to visit in person, and in front of everyone, handed over the important task of being the leader of Heluo martial arts to Jiang Tianxiong's hands.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tianxiong was recommended again, and became the head coach of the imperial imperial guards.

Since then, Jiang Tianxiong has stepped into the pinnacle of his career.

However, what I didn't expect was that in the following ten years, Jiang Tianxiong's progress in martial arts, it can't be said that there was no progress, but it was far from as fast as he imagined.

Knowing the destiny at fifty, Jiang Tianxiong has already vaguely sensed where the limit of his life is.

The ultimate in martial arts, which was once thought to be easily achieved, turned out to be like the white clouds in the sky, not something that can be reached by just stretching out one's hand.

There are some things that seem very close, but are actually very, very, very far away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianxiong felt a little regretful again. He knew why he had done it before.

If he had had more children in the past, he wouldn't need to be so anxious now.

Looking back now, there is really not much conflict between having a child and doing a career. No matter how busy you are, you should always have time for this.

Because of this, Jiang Tianxiong seldom beat and scolded children even if Jiang Yu was really bad at practicing martial arts, because he knew that all his faults came from himself.

It's just that even if the parents don't say their troubles, the children can feel them.

Every time Jiang Yu found out that his father would sigh after watching him practice martial arts, once or twice was fine, it happened every time, Jiang Yu was not a fool.

To use a popular saying now, "Parents' anxiety is a curse to children."

Speaking of this, Jiang Tianxiong has been very disappointed. Isn't Jiang Yu desperate?
He also wants to be as tall and mighty as his father, he also wants to be physically strong, and he also wants to make his father smile and retire, so that he can take care of himself for the rest of his life.

Jiang Yu desperately wanted to get his father's approval, even if it was just once.

But he couldn't do it, even if he tried his best!

Jiang Yu, who has been in a cycle of disappointment and despair since she was a child, thinks all day long about "Why me", "Why am I here" and "Is it me who is here, or is it just me?" The ultimate philosophy of tormenting crashes.

When Jiang Yu was 14 years old, he accidentally heard a lecture by a Zen master at the White Horse Temple. He listened to it for a while, and was fascinated.

It turns out that the Buddha has already described all kinds of sufferings of oneself.

From then on, Jiang Yu became obsessed with Buddhism and could not extricate himself. If the Jiang family still needed him to pass on incense, Jiang Yu might have shaved off his hair and become a monk long ago.

Well, since Jiang Yu believed in Buddhism so much, he must be a merciful person.

Neither is it.

Jiang Yu's obsession with Buddhism is only to solve his pain, but from a nature point of view, Buddhism is just a tool he needs, and it does not point to the road he wants to walk.

Before I knew it, I had seen Jiang Yu's horror.

……

It was still May, and the price of medicinal materials in Luoyang City was soaring due to the great epidemic in Jiangbei.

Originally, Shennong Baicaomen had been insisting on selling cheap medicines, and the people in Luoyang didn't think it was too bad. As a result, after the government forcibly purchased all the medicines and medicinal materials in Luoyang, Shennong Baicaomen also closed down.

Overnight, the price of medicine in Luoyang rose by [-]%, and in the afternoon, it rose by another [-]%. After that, the price of medicine skyrocketed.

Some people have said that the price of related medicines will increase in the case of the epidemic. How come all medicines are skyrocketing.

This involves people's panic psychology and hoarding psychology.

Anything, as long as these two kinds of psychology meet at the same time, it must be a skyrocketing price and a shortage in the market, and then the skyrocketing price and market shortage will further strengthen panic and hoarding.

This is an endless loop, unless it is untied by external force.

That day, when I was walking in the street, I happened to see an out-of-town merchant collecting usury from a commoner in Luoyang. After asking, it turned out that the commoner bought some medicine from the out-of-town merchant.

This merchant also sells medicines. The price of the first medicine he sells is slightly lower, and the price of the second medicine and the third medicine are all higher. In the end, the family owes a lot of money for the medicine.

When everyone was arguing, Jiang Yu squeezed over with a smile and said to the merchant that he would give the money.

The merchant didn't know Jiang Yu, so he saw a neatly dressed kid, so he asked, "Do you have 2000 Wen?"

Jiang Yu smiled and took out a small piece of broken silver from her bag and handed it to the merchant, who was overjoyed.

The merchant thought that he was a fool who met a rich man with a lot of money and no knowledge of the world.

Then Jiang Yu asked the merchant to go home with him so that he could withdraw money to pay the merchant.

This Jiang Yu took the merchant away, and the others also dispersed. Weiming saw that this was strange, so he followed secretly.

Jiang Yu took the merchant into the dense forest and beat him severely.The tall merchant had no idea that this kid was so powerful, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Afterwards, Jiang Yu revealed his identity, and the merchant knew that he had bumped into an iron plate today.

Jiang Yu forced the merchant to write a blood-written IOU of 200 taels of silver, and then restricted him to pay the money in three days.

The Jiang family and the Luoyang government had a close relationship, and they would directly report to the officials to arrest people if they didn't give money. Moreover, Jiang Yu also warned the merchants that if they dared to escape secretly, they should be careful not to encounter robbers on the way and die unexpectedly.

The merchant left with a bruised nose and a swollen face, smiling apologetically, and Jiang Yu was alone in the dense forest.

"Brother Dongfang, do you think I did something wrong?" Jiang Yu said suddenly, knowing that he couldn't hide it.

Weiming came out from behind the tree with some embarrassment, and said, "Brother Jiang Yu, you did the right thing, I just don't understand one thing."

He didn't know that this person was also straightforward, so he said to Jiang Yu bluntly: "Jiang Yu, you can beat that person up, or take back your own money. Why did that person write down 200 taels of silver?" IOU.

Isn't this extortion? "

Wei Ming knew that the 200 taels of silver was not a small amount, enough to bankrupt most businesses.

Wei Ming was able to face Jiang Yu directly and point out his doubts to him. Instead of being unhappy, Jiang Yu felt happy instead.

After being exposed to too many intrigues, Jiang Yu appreciates a straightforward person like Wei Ming even more.

Jiang Yu said to Weiming: "Brother Dongfang, let me ask you. If I just beat that person up, take back my money, and let him go, will he learn the lesson from this time?"

This sentence stopped Weiming from asking. After holding back for a while, he honestly replied: "No."

"That's right." Jiang Yu smiled at Weiming and said, "To deal with demons and ghosts, the Buddha still has the time of King Kong's glaring eyes.

For these profiteers, it is necessary to let them hurt their muscles and bones, and learn an unforgettable lesson.

And this person is obviously a greedy person.

The small piece of silver I gave him in the city just now was obviously enough to pay for his medicine, but he really dared to follow a strange child into the dense forest for the 2000 money he just talked about.

I guess this guy just thinks he can beat me with force, and if I try to cheat, I'll be the one to suffer.

From the very beginning, he never thought of being nice to me, so I follow his thoughts and use his method to deal with himself, isn't it very appropriate? "

Weiming sighed and nodded.

He still understands the truth, but he doesn't like this method of using intrigue to deal with intrigue.

If you are a chivalrous man, can't you do it in an open and honest manner?

Obviously, if this matter is done openly, the effect may not be as good as Jiang Yu's.

"Is the kind of chivalry I'm after in this world?"

Unknown is a little confused.

Seeing Weiming who was in deep confusion, Jiang Yu smiled at him again and left.

For some reason, Jiang Yu suddenly found himself enjoying the current feeling.

So, what does it feel like?

Jiang Yu was also lost in thought.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu figured it out, this is the first time I have crushed others with my intelligence.

It turns out that it feels so cool to outsmart.

It turns out that my talent lies in my brain.

　I just received information that starting from Sunday, this book has a second chance to be recommended.

　　I took a look, and some of the books recommended in the same period have already been cut...

　　As for the cakes drawn in this book, everyone should have noticed that this is a story about a group of heroes, so there are more scenes where the protagonist is not present.

　　However, the roles of these supporting actors definitely did not deviate from the main line.

　　All stories are linked together.

　　The stage is big enough for the protagonist to jump up and down, left and right repeatedly.
