Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 131
the next morning,

The weather was gloomy, as if there was a dark cloud hanging over the capital, which would not disperse for a long time.

People are the same as the weather, the cold morning makes everyone feel dull.

In the big camp outside the capital, Zhang Jinyu got up early in the morning and put on a close-fitting padded jacket to feel the warmth.

He changed into a samurai uniform again, took a long knife, put on leggings, and went out of the tent to lead the guards to practice martial arts.

Although I was a novice in my previous life, I was still obsessed with the art of fighting and capturing during military training. Later, the instructor taught Shaolin sword skills in private.

Standing there and recalling the Shaolin saber technique, the emphasis is on fast, accurate and ruthless.You have to aim at the target and chop repeatedly, and attack from different directions, which not only saves energy, but also can directly attack the opponent's vital points, so that the head and tail cannot look at each other. I don't know if there are Shaolin and Wudang sects in this world. Put the addiction of the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Jinyu held a long knife, stood with his feet apart, opened his posture, and slashed slowly from left to right. After warming up, he felt good after his body sweated a little. It can be regarded as hard training, saving myself a lot of hard work.

Take a deep breath, look like a torch,
The long knife was out of its sheath, the blade's edge flickered in the dark, and it was powerful and heavy. It was unrivaled in one swing, and after a few swings, the fallen leaves on the ground outside were swept up by the strong wind from the knife dance.

Zhang Jinyu moved swiftly and was as light as a swallow. She sprinted forward and turned around for a slash. The blade of the carbine flashed past the thick bamboo pillar, and the pillar fell with the sound, and the knife edge was extremely smooth.

"Good swordsmanship!"

The sound of applause came from behind, and the sound was clear and sweet.

Zhang Jinyu paused, looked up, and saw that the speaker was wrapped tightly in a black cloak, and the stunning face in the hood was full of surprises, whether it was Yang Hanyu or someone else.

This beauty is indeed very beautiful, just like the person in the painting, but she has not yet come into contact with the real nature, so it is not easy to start.

Young said with a smile;

"Mr. Lang, this martial art must be outstanding in the army. I didn't expect Mr. Lang to be born with supernatural power. Such a pillar can be cut with a single blow, which is rare in the world."

At this time, a wonderful person came out from another tent. It turned out to be Lan Yue'er. Seeing Yang Hanyu's charming appearance, she became angry and said,

"It's up to you to say that Mr. Lang's martial arts are naturally impeccable, otherwise how could the Jurchen escape after the first battle?"

Zhang Jinyu blushed and also had a headache, that's all three of them, if there were more, they wouldn't fight.

"Okay, just do what you have to do. There are a lot of things today. Yue'er came back from dinner to pack up. She is planning to move into the mansion today. Staying in Beijing is not an option."

Lan Yue'er looked at Master Hou who was still a little protective of the little goblin, and said dissatisfiedly with her mouth curled up;
"It's my lord, let's come in and have breakfast."

Zhang Jinyu rarely refused,
"Not today, I want to eat with my brothers, you go back to eat first."

Lan Yue'er puffed her mouth angrily and went back, but Mrs. Yang didn't intervene, only asked after seeing Lan Yueer leave;

"Master Hou, this girl belongs to your lord,"

"It's the same as you, and it's the right-hand man of the Marquis. Don't try it, just do your own thing. You can go in and eat with them, and I won't keep you."

Mrs. Yang was so blocked that she had nothing to say, she took a deep look at Lord Hou before saying a blessing, and walked into the tent.

This little thought is too obvious, and the words are still beating around the bush. Are you tired? No wonder the emperors of all dynasties have left early. Outside, they are intrigues, inside are seduction and fights, and they hurt the body. How can the triple injury not leave early?

Zhang Jinyu led the guards to the school grounds after seeing all the troubles leaving. The soldiers here had already woken up and washed up, waiting in line to receive their meals.

Orderly, no noisy voices, Ning Bian also personally supervised the distribution of food on the stage, each soldier was distributed food by the fire leader at the hut, each person had two bags, one bowl of vegetables, one bowl of soup, the amount was large full.

This big pot meal is indeed the unique traditional military camp life of the country. Fortunately, there is a salt well outside the customs, and the salt we eat is our own, so the dishes are also delicious, unlike other places. Big pot dishes are almost tasteless.

Zhang Jinyu was not in a hurry, and when all the soldiers had finished receiving their supplies, she also walked over with her personal guards, reached out for two bowls, went to the shack to get food and soup, took two pouches, and found a place Sitting down and eating in the pile, there was a chill on the cold ground.

Zhang Jinyu directly changed from sitting to squatting. This is not acceptable. Go to the city and buy some stools and tables to simply build a canteen. It is too cold to sit still.

Immediately, he explained to the personal guard, and later told General Ning to buy some tables and stools before entering the city, and find a place to eat, and the personal guard took orders.

The soldiers next to him didn't notice it for a while, and they were all eating food there. Now that they came to the capital, Zhang Jinyu had already ordered to buy some meat from the nearby market. Every meal was not much, but they had to put a little, so that the brothers could satisfy their hunger. Make it thicker.

At this time, the surrounding soldiers were almost finished eating, so they raised their heads to take a breath, and suddenly saw that Lord Hou was there, and immediately froze,
"Master Hou, why are you eating here?"

This sound directly woke up the crowd gathered around, and everyone looked over, and it was really Hou Ye who was dining with them, and they all shouted involuntarily;
"Lord Hou,"

"Master Hou."

"Well, everyone eats, eats, you eat too, what are you doing in a daze."

The first soldier who spoke also came to his senses, put down the bowls and chopsticks, found a small stool from nowhere and moved it over, Zhang Jinyu sat down without hesitation,

"Thank you brother, this is hard for you."

"You don't have to work hard, Lord Hou, this is much better. How can you eat with us? It's too simple."

Zhang Jinyu put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at the simple faces of the soldiers around, and said loudly;

"If you can eat, this Marquis will naturally be able to eat it. It's all my brothers who don't like it. Just say it. There is a rule outside the customs. The generals eat whatever the soldiers eat, and the generals drink whatever the soldiers drink. This Marquis is no exception. Brothers who eat in the same pot should match their words and deeds, whoever dares to show off, you can tolerate him, but this Marquis cannot tolerate him."

The sergeants around were all red-eyed, and the more people gathered, Zhang Jinyu finished the last sip of soup and said,
"This big competition is different from the past. The imperial court plans to rank one by one and announce it to the world. The entire Great Wudu will discuss this matter. Although we are confident, we have no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. We only earn one breath. This time we would rather The general will make adjustments, we only have one goal and that is to be number one, this battle will be like the battle of Pingyang, we must win!"

One of the schoolboys shouted;

"Our army will win!"

Soldiers around shouted loudly;

"Our army will win, we will win!"

The sound was so majestic that it spread far and wide. Busy people in the market not far away were all looking towards the barracks. They didn’t know what happened. Merchants who got up early were eating soup cakes at the teahouse on the roadside. They were also inexplicable when they heard the sound. surprised.

"Amazing, this Marquis of Luoyun really has a way of leading troops, look at this momentum, tsk tsk."

"Who says it's not? The Jurchen fled in the battle of Pingyang, and they couldn't do it without two brushes."

"That is, I didn't see that the soldiers outside the pass were obviously tall and strong, and Kongwu was powerful."

"I heard that this competition is the first time in Dawu. I don't know if people like me can watch it. If I can see it, I am lucky."

"Hey, who knows?"

There was a lot of discussion in the teahouse, all talking about the Dabi in the capital.

In the tent of the camp,
Yang Hanyu entered the tent alone, and Lan Yueer was still whispering her dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang stroked Yueer's hair in a funny way, and said with a smile,
"Okay, it can be regarded as the concubine of Lord Hou, who can see you without looking up, as long as you abide by the rules of the Zhang family, there are not so many constraints."

"Understood, old lady."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang knew that she was speaking for herself, so she also knelt down and saluted.
"Daughter-in-law Yang's visit to mother, daughter-in-law will definitely abide by the rules of the Hou Mansion."

Wang nodded,

"Get up, come and have dinner together, Jinyu will leave him alone."

"Thank you mother,"

Yang Hanyu came over and sat down, Wang didn't say anything, just picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating, Yue'er and Shu'er didn't talk either.

On the contrary, Yang Hanyu still followed the etiquette taught in the palace, picked up the chopsticks gracefully, and sipped her mouth to eat, which was completely different from Yue'er Shu'er who ate the steamed buns with big mouthfuls.

This made the two girls feel furious, and they wanted to sarcasm a few words but were stopped by Wang's eyes. The two girls had no choice but to continue eating. Of course, there were many rules in their actions, and Wang smiled and said nothing in his heart.

Anhu Camp,

The sergeant, who was still in a dream at this hour, was awakened by the desolate sound of the horn in the morning,

In the tent of frontier soldiers in the camp, a frontier soldier rubbed his hazy eyes and asked;

"What's the situation, the rallying call was blown so early, maybe that kid misremembered the time."

"That's right, what's the trouble this early in the morning?"

"so sleepy."

The few people who were still complaining were woken up by the shout of the captain outside the camp.

"Damn it, I didn't hear the trumpet blowing, hurry up, anyone who is slow will be whipped."

Hearing their superiors shouting there, all the soldiers quickly got up and put on their armor, and immediately gathered in the school field after everything was in place.

When I arrived at the school grounds, I saw that the large troops had already assembled and were on standby. Besides the frontier troops there, the Beijing camp that participated in the competition also got up early.

The ministries counted the number of people, and when they arrived, all the generals were unambiguous, and went off in person to lead the army to start the morning class.
The sound of shouting and killing was also loud, and spread several miles away. In the market outside the south city gate, everyone was also amazed that today's big camp training was so early.

The soldiers and horses also yawned, opened the city gate and came out to stand guard, inspecting the passing vehicles, staring at the people coming and going,

The guard at the gate of the city was also puzzled, not a single frontier soldier entered the city today, could it be that the frontier soldiers have changed their nature.
