Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 182
Ye Chen ordered the two to purchase lime and anti-epidemic medicinal materials in large quantities. The more the better, he wanted to prepare for the relief of the victims and the prevention of the epidemic after the flood actually came.

For the rest of the time, Ye Chen spent all his hard training on internal skills and the sword skills taught to him by Bai Canghai.

The core point of Bai Canghai's swordsmanship to Ye Chen is just one word - fast!
The so-called martial arts in the world can only be fast!

As long as your sword is fast enough, even if your skill is not as strong as the opponent's, you can still stab your opponent with the sword before the opponent's move hits you.Even when caught off guard, the opponent's reaction is a little slow, and life and death can be seen with a single strike.

And according to what Bai Canghai said, there is only one way to draw the sword fast and draw the sword fast--practice!Practice hard.

When the same sword-drawing action is practiced hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of times to form an instinctive reaction, transitioning from conditioned reflex to unconditioned reflex, you can't slow down even if you think about it.

Similarly, when the same sword-stretching and stabbing posture is practiced countless times, it will naturally be so fast, even so fast that ordinary naked eyes can't see the traces, and ordinary warriors can't react at all, and the sword has already been pierced through the throat.

Therefore, Ye Chen spent all the time he could use these days on practicing swords.Fortunately, he has a special physique, and now his internal strength is small, and his internal energy is no small matter.The strength and energy seem to be endless, even if you continue to practice for a day, you can still persist.

The so-called hard work pays off, the effect of the half month of hard training is surprisingly good, but what kind of strength he has reached now, because of the particularity of the sword technique he practiced, blood will be seen every time he strikes the sword, there is no way Find someone to try the trick, so Ye Chen himself doesn't know what level he has reached.Asked Bai Canghai, the latter also just shook his head without saying a word.This made Ye Chen feel itchy for the past two days.

However, after practicing the sword skills taught by Bai Canghai, Ye Chen finally understood why all the swordsmen challenged by Bai Canghai were eventually killed by Bai Canghai.It's not that Bai Canghai is really bloodthirsty, but that his swordsmanship is a murderous swordsmanship, and it's hard to leave any room for him once he strikes the sword.The opponent's strength is low, and it is difficult not to die.

In addition, Ye Chen also visited the Cao Mansion and Luo Mansion while practicing kung fu and sword practice.After all, after he was taken away, both the Cao family and the Luo family took out half of the guards to follow Ma Gangzi to the south to search and rescue him.

After having in-depth talks with Cao Bin and Luo Gongming respectively, Ye Chen also came closer to understanding that under the calmness of the court, the open and secret struggle between Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi has become more and more fierce.

Because Ye Chen found out the crux of the current struggle between the two Zhaos—the case of Dou Shihai, the prefect of Sizhou, who hoarded a large amount of grain, so Cao Bin and Luo Gongming repeatedly emphasized to Ye Chen that they must not get involved in the dispute between the two Zhaos. middle.Ye Chen also expressed his deep opinion of this.

This is the second time for the ghost doctor to show a smile from the bottom of his heart since he came to Ye Mansion. Yu Qingyan knew that such a smile from her withdrawn master already represented that he was really very happy at this time.

Although he just started to walk, his pace was slow, and he limped like a big horse monkey, but this was walking in the true sense after all.

After 11 years, I finally got rid of the crutches and stood up for the first time. Even with the death-like emotion of a ghost doctor, I had the urge to cry.

Ye Chen said: "Senior! You take a few steps and feel that there is something inappropriate, and the junior will ask someone to modify it."

"It's suitable, it's suitable, the old man can go now, there's nothing wrong with it." The ghost doctor never wants to leave these artificial feet for a moment, and people only know how to cherish them after losing them.He has been unable to walk for 11 years, which is the main reason why he hardly goes out or sees people, and his personality is becoming more and more withdrawn and indifferent.And at this moment, his mood relaxed, and he felt that his personality seemed to be a little more sunny.

The soft plastic body made of beef tendon is full of elasticity, especially when light yellow dye is added, it is not much different from real feet. There is no high-hardness plastic. Ye Chen asked the blacksmith to embed thin steel plates into it as the skeleton. Made of soft steel, if there is no accident, these two prosthetic feet will not be a problem for the last ten years.Especially Yu Qingyan did it herself and worked overtime. The shape of the sculpted feet perfectly matched the shape of the ghost doctor's overall legs and feet. Putting on pants and shoes and socks, even a pair of calves could not be seen to be fake.

As the ghost doctor became more and more familiar with this pair of prosthetic legs, the speed of walking became a little faster, and the degree of bumps in the body decreased a lot. The rest is the degree of familiarity. Naturally adjust the center of gravity, as long as you walk slowly in the future, you will be no different from ordinary people.

Ye Chen is very busy and fulfilling these days, but the women in Ye Mansion, except for Yu Qingyan, Yu Daoxiang, Han Keer, Sun Xueying, and Xiao Mo are very boring.Bored to the point where it has affected my mood.

Ye Chen also realized for the first time that entertainment activities are rare in this era, and there are not many things for entertainment during the day.Especially men can also go to the brothel, enjoy dancing and listening to music.But for women, they know that staying in the backyard is boring all day long.

Ye Chen sometimes thought, so idle, so boring, no wonder feudal society, whether it is the harem or the backyard of a wealthy family, there are constant intrigues between wives and concubines.

Although this problem has not occurred in Ye Mansion, since Ye Chen officially accepted Han Ke'er as his concubine a week ago, the atmosphere in the backyard has become a little weird.

First, Yu Qingyan's words and deeds in front of Ye Chen began to be a little strange. Then, except for secretly following Ye Chen to protect her safety, she spent the rest of her time practicing kung fu, or Yu Daoxiang, who taught Shui'er to practice kung fu, looked at Ye Chen's expression more and more. Resentment.Even the little girl Shui'er was weird when she was with Ye Chen.

Although due to various reasons, no real intrigue happened, but Ye Chen always had a feeling that the mountains and rains were about to come.

So, when Ye Chen heard Han Keer say 'so boring' too many times, and saw Bai Canghai frowning when his two women said it, he wanted to change this situation.

Ye Chen thought carefully about the pastimes and entertainments of future generations, and what women can do in this era.Dance?singing?Neither seemed very attractive, and it was hard to distract the attention of these women in the backyard.

"It seems that we have to take out the big killer." Ye Chen muttered to himself with a strange expression.

Mahjong!In later generations, isn't it said that there are 13 billion people and 200 million hemp?That's it.As long as a woman touches this thing, she can't live without it. It is a super artifact to divert attention and pass the time.Besides, the weather has turned cold recently, and Li Junhao took more than [-] people from the South Gang to the river embankment, and the ice shop was closed. Apart from winning [-] guan a few days ago, he had no income for several days.Of course, salary has never been counted by Ye Chen.

Hearing Ye Chen calling for the carpenter who was raised in the mansion, Yu Qingyan also ran over from the ghost hospital.

Half of the more than 20 military craftsmen were carpenters, and all of them came to report.Ye Chen drew a piece of paper on a piece of paper, such as the cake, the east, the south, the northwest, the middle and the white, etc., and then saw that the painting was not good-looking, and asked Yu Qingyan, who is proficient in painting, to draw it again according to his intention.

When the first set of mahjong came out, Ye Chen felt very satisfied, but was criticized by Yu Qingyan as useless.Yu Qingyan personally called the carpenter again in Ye Chen's name, and muttered for a long time, but Ye Chen didn't know what to say.But looking at the expressions of those carpenters, they all showed admiration and respect for Yu Qingyan.

The second set of mahjong is made of Yishui sandalwood. I don’t know how to erase the patterns of the first set of mahjong. They all look the same. The good craftsmanship makes Ye Chen amazing, especially the chicken. Ye Chen was amazed by the lifelike depiction.Far beyond the first mahjong too much.And those carpenters all said that it was Yu Qingyan's credit.

At this moment, Ye Chen remembered that Yu Qingyan's father, Yu Hao, was a master carpenter of the Song Dynasty.Even because of this, he was banned as an official.From his daughter alone, it can be seen that she is indeed a man of no vain under the prestige.It's a pity that such a talented person was killed by Zhao Kuangyin who randomly found an oil head.This made Ye Chen feel a pity.

Yu Daoxiang, Han Ke'er, and Shui'er were appreciating mahjong, but they couldn't understand what it was for. Han Ke'er took the chicken and asked Ye Chen: "Ah Lang, what are these small pieces of wood for? The chick is beautifully carved."

"With this thing, you don't have to be bored. This is a very interesting toy."

After speaking, Ye Chen glanced at Shui'er, who was full of joy, and added: "A toy for adults."

Ignore Shui'er who is pouting, cute and charming.

Ye Chen asked people to call Bai Canghai, Sun Xueying, and Xiao Mo, and then directed several women to place cards on the small dining table. Ye Chen sat on the east, Yu Daoxiang sat on the north, Yu Qingyan sat on the west, and Sun Xueying sat on the south. Xiao Mo and Yu Ye took a few maids to wait on them.Bai Canghai and Shui'er watched with curiosity.

After explaining the rules, Ye Chen started to play the cards. Ye Chen helped several beauties form cards and touch the cards.Taking cards, suspending cards, playing cards, within a few rounds, they all mastered the essentials. Even Yu Daoxiang's ability to draw cards has surpassed Ye Chen, and he can know what cards are just by touching them.

After Ye Chen had dinner, he handed over the seat to Xiao Mo who had been waiting for a long time.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, until midnight, it can be said that in the middle of the night, Ye Chen still heard Sun Xueying yelling to touch the card in his sleep.

Ye Chen wants to use mahjong to make money, so he naturally wants to promote mahjong.How to promote it is naturally to invite celebrities to play a game, and then spread the news.

Zhao Dezhao, king of Wei, had nothing to do today and was invited by Ye Chen to the mansion. Luo Yaoshun, Luo Yaoshun, the second yamen of Luo Gongming, the new chief envoy of the third division, specially transferred his shift with others.These three people were invited by Ye Chen.

The gambling game has officially begun, and the temptation of mahjong is really hard to resist.There is no identity on the gambling table, and the four of them gamble happily, and there is no barrier of identity anymore.Zhao Dezhao smiled happily when he got a good card, and could only complain when he got a bad card. Zhao Dezhao opened his eyes and tried hard to touch the cards in his hand, almost crushing the cards. Luo Yaoshun was urging Zhao Dezhao to play cards, and Cao Wei had a serious face Serenely, staring at the playing field, as if about to go into battle to kill the enemy general.Only Ye Chen looked relaxed and relaxed.

Unknowingly, the sun was about to set, and the four of them had no intention of giving up, they were still playing mahjong indiscriminately.
