Chapter 0042 The icing on the cake

Since ancient times, few people have helped in times of time, but most of them have added icing on the cake.

Ten days passed gradually. That afternoon, Chai Shao came to Wuchuan Mansion. He bowed in front of the host's room, "God, I'm here!"

"Come in!"

Chai Shao walked into the door quickly and saw the meeting master Dou Qing sitting on the table, looking at him with a smile. He quickly bowed and bowed, "See the meeting master!"

Dou Qing asked with a smile: "Have you heard from your father-in-law recently?"

"Reporting to the meeting, Zhuo Jing wrote a letter to his family two days ago and talked about his father-in-law, saying that his father-in-law is very busy recently and always inspects outside, so he rarely sees him."

"Yes! Although his position is enviable, it is also very hard. Sichang, you should bring your wife to your side."

Chai Shao's face turned slightly red, "Jiayue said the same thing. I also plan to buy a house in Luoyang this year and move Jiaxiao here."

"This is a good thing."

Dou Qing changed the topic and got to the point, "How is Zhang Xuan's situation these days?"

"I have reported to the Lord that he has been quiet during this period. He practices riding and shooting during the day and reading and writing at night. He is very hardworking. It is said that the King of Yan has promised to release him to the military palace as an official."

"Do he still plan to practice martial arts?" Dou Qing asked with a smile again.

"certainly!"

Chai Shao nodded without hesitation, "Luo Shixin gave him a spear chart. Yesterday he sighed to me that his strength is insufficient and he cannot practice Luo Shixin's overlord marksmanship. It's a pity that he has no way to learn martial arts."

Dou Qing walked a few steps behind his hands, and finally took a wooden box from the table and handed it to Chai Shao, "This is Zhongjian's technique of gathering strength, which can be practiced the day after tomorrow. It is very suitable for Zhang Xuan. You can hand it over to him."

Chai Shao was extremely surprised. Zhang Zhongjian's technique of gathering strength was the secret of Ziyang Zhenren. Apart from Zhang Zhongjian, no one has ever learned it. Zhang Zhongjian valued more than life. How could he bear to take it out?

Dou Qing did not tell Chai Shao the reason. He made a deal with Zhang Zhongjian and canceled his agreement to extend it for one year. Zhang Zhongjian gave Dou Qing the technique of gathering his strength.

Chai Shao quickly took the wooden box and felt it was very heavy. He opened it and saw it was a bluestone slab, yes! It was this thing, called the Bluestone Sutra, but unfortunately he could no longer practice it. Chai Shao sighed in his heart.

Dou Qing said to him again: "You can't give this technique to him directly, let alone let him know that this is Zhongjian's technique. You have to think of a way to get it yourself. In short, I don't want him to know that Wuchuan Mansion is paying attention to him for the time being."

"I understand."

Chai Shao put away the wooden box, bowed and hurried away. At this time, Zhang Zhongjian slowly walked out of the inner room. He stared at Dou Qing with bright eyes, "The leader had already planned to give him the bluestone scripture, and even had this idea after he hunted Yang Xuangan, right?"

Dou Qing stroked his silver beard and smiled: "You are very smart!"

Zhang Zhongjian asked casually again: "Can the Lord keep his word about my affairs?"

Dou Qing did not answer him, as if his mind was still on Zhang Xuan. Dou Qing pondered for a moment and asked again: "Your master once told me that if you want to practice the Bluestone Sutra, you must go north to the Turks. Is that true?"

"Master is right, because he needs this."

Zhang Zhongjian took out a small bottle and handed it to Dou Qing. Dou Qing looked at it and found that it was half a bottle of purple serous.

"This is the most precious purple insect jade pupa in your master's collection!"

"It is it, and this is also the most important and important medicine for practicing the Blue Stone Sutra. Unfortunately, there is no such medicine as the Central Plains, only in the extreme north. There are too few medicines, but the Lord can transfer it to him."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhongjian stared at Dou Qing with sharp eyes, "The leader has not answered my question just now."

Dou Qing put away the bottle and pondered for a moment and said, "As long as you find the Turkic materials, you will be free."

"Okay! Then when will I go north?"

"I got the news that Yu Wenhe set out three days ago. Pei Ju also brought people north yesterday, and it must be for this batch of goods. Time is very tight. I hope you set out overnight."

"What about Zhang Xuan? The Lord gave him the Bluestone Sutra, wasn't it just to lead him north? Then when will he set out?"

Dou Qing laughed, "You don't have to worry about this, I have other arrangements."

Zhang Zhongjian sighed secretly. The scheming of the leader was too deep. I am afraid that he had thought of this step after Zhang Xuan hunted Yang Xuangan.

Dou Qing glanced at him, as if seeing through his thoughts, and said lightly: "The world will not fall into pies for no reason. I, Dou Qing, are not a good person. If I practice martial arts skills, he has to do this for me. This is my deal with him."

"Why didn't the Lord tell him directly?"

Dou Qing smiled and said meaningfully: "If you tell everything thoroughly, it would be boring. I like to deal with smart people. From his recent performance, I believe he will understand my deep meaning."















Zhang Zhongjian said goodbye and left. Dou Qing walked slowly to the window with his hands behind his back. The afterglow of the sunset shone on his snow-white beard, dyeing them into golden red.

It has been nearly a month since Yang Xuangan was killed. Dou Qing has been observing this young man named Zhang Xuan. His uniqueness, his decisiveness and ruthlessness, and his far-sightedness have left an extremely deep impression on Dou Qing.

It was not until this Tiankaji incident that he finally believed that his judgment was correct. This was probably a young man who made trouble in the Great Sui Dynasty. The secret news from the palace was already regarded by Yang Guang as the future assistant minister of the crown prince Yang Neng.

But his origin is always a mystery. No one knows where he came from, where he lived before he appeared in Luoyang. He was like suddenly emerging from this world. It was precisely this reason that made Dou Qing hesitate.

However, Dou Qing had a new idea at this time. If he invested a certain amount of capital in this young man, perhaps one day, he would get rich returns.

Many times, politicians are also businessmen in another sense.













The sound of horse hooves in the Yanwang Mansion school ground was like thunder and yellow dust was everywhere. Zhang Xuan was following dozens of guards to practice riding and shooting.

Riding and shooting is also a necessary basic skill for a general, and it is also a hurdle that Zhang Xuan cannot overcome. Since he cannot break through the practice of Yi Jin's technique, Zhang Xuan focused on riding and shooting.

He trained in Qinghai for half a year a few years ago, mainly practicing riding. In that half a year, he developed a strong riding skill, which is no less than those who are superb riding today.

But riding and shooting was blank for him. Zhang Xuan had already deeply realized that it was extremely difficult to do when he was running at high speed, using his legs to control the horse, pulling the bow and shooting arrows in one go. Not to mention the coordination of hands and eyes, and hitting the target with one arrow is even more difficult to add.

However, he had to face the difficulties. For ten days, Zhang Xuan practiced riding and shooting hard for the past ten days, and made great progress. At the beginning, he almost fell off his horse several times, but gradually, he got the trick and began to shoot an arrow while running.

With the first arrow, there is the second arrow. Through repeated practices, he finally passed the level of archery immediately. The next step is precision. If he is not riding and shooting accurately, it is meaningless.

But riding the ** requires thousands of accumulations. Even if you have a high talent, you still need a process. Fortunately, Zhang Xuan is not only talented, but also a sharpshooter who hits every shot. What he has to do is to run in the shooting technique and archery technique, which also takes time.

"Guard Zhang, come again!" More than a dozen guards shouted loudly.

The guards were all surprised. They witnessed Zhang Xuan's progress in riding and shooting with their own eyes. From the initial difficulty of even archery shooting with bows, to the moment he can shoot archery smoothly, he has reached the level that others can only achieve for half a year after practicing hard for half a year. He is simply a genius.

Zhang Xuan held the eagle bow in his hand, took a deep breath, and clamped his legs, the war horse ran out quickly and rushed towards the archery area fifty steps away. The war horse ran faster and faster, and the yellow dust rolled under his hooves. His eyes narrowed and he glanced at the straw man's archery target thirty steps away from the side.

Just as the war horse ran into the archery area, he sat upright, held the bow in his left hand, and pulled out the last wolf-tooth arrow from the archer behind with his right hand, and drew the arrow slightly to the side of his body, pulled the bow like the moon, and loosened the string, and the wolf-tooth arrow flew like a straight line, "Puff!" The arrow hit the straw man's left shoulder.

The war horses galloped past, and the guards on both sides burst into applause, "Good shot!"

Zhang Xuan gradually slowed down his horse speed, and he was extremely excited. At the moment of shooting the arrow, he seemed to have caught a feeling, very subtle, as if guiding his arrow to point.

He needed to find this feeling again and again, and consolidate it, a guard ran up and handed him a pot of arrows, "Do it again!"

At this time, Zhang Xuan saw Chai Shao waving to him in the distance. He turned over and dismounted and smiled, "You guys cum first! I'll come back later."

He threw the reins to Ma Tong and walked quickly towards Chai Shao who was standing by the school field.

"Sichang, is there anything you need to ask me for?"

Chai Shao smiled mysteriously, pulled Zhang Xuan to a secluded place, and whispered to him: "I got an item, which may be related to your martial arts practice."

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please tell me!"
