Chapter 47
The robbery of the brothel was silenced in Bianjing for a while, and instead became a romantic story. Li Bangyan knew how to be a man. The next day he gave the contract to the Chen Mansion and attached a gift. When he met Chen Dong during the court meeting, he complained that he had not told him earlier. Shortly after the Qingming Festival, Zhu Sen wrote a letter to apologize, asking him to keep the tomb for his deceased mentor for three years and regretted his studies. The official Zhao Ke Nian was repentant, so he issued an order to build a thatched hut in front of Yang Shi’s tomb on Fujian Road, and gave it to Yang Shi’s disciples to guard the tomb, and gave it to him as the “Three Secret Hall”. On the day Zhu Sen and He Fang left Beijing, Chen Dong even invited scholars from the Neo-Confucian Society in the capital to bid farewell to him at the Bianhe Wharf with great fanfare.
Standing at the stern of the official boat, He Fangzheng waved to the dock, looking at Chen Dong and his newlywed wife, He Fang smiled and said, "Brother Zhu usually hangs 'self-restraint and regaining rituals' on his mouth, but he really didn't expect that he could actually bring people to grab brothels." Although he and Zhu Sen were classmates and friends, they usually talked about moral articles, and they just mentioned this matter today.
Zhu Sen smiled slightly and said, "A husband and wife will be righteous and then father and son will be close to each other. Then father and son will be close to each other. Therefore, it is said: Wedding is the basis of etiquette. Li Bangyan forced a good man to become a prostitute, and actually wanted to use Shishi to threaten Shaoyang, destroy human relations, and violate the laws of nature. Is it unbearable? If I use my original intention, I will smash the brothels in the world, burn all the contracts for selling my body, and let the couple match themselves. I made an iron kneeling statue for Li Bangyan, and knelt in the capital market for a long time, thinking that it would be a warning to future generations."
Seeing that he was not joking, He Fang sighed, "This matter has not happened in his previous life, I am afraid Brother Zhu can think of it." But he was secretly sorry for Zhu Sen. He only had talent and ambitions, but because he was a national relative, he could not succeed in the court. He Fang secretly said that Zhu Sen spared no effort to help Chen Dong, so he might also make up for his regrets.
Zhu Sen smiled and said, "Brother Zhengde is too proud. In my opinion, at least one person can do this."
"Who?" He Fang said doubtfully.
"Zhao Xingde." Zhu Sen's eyes showed a thoughtful look, "In the past few years, Yuan Zhi has disappeared, and every article has been passed down from generation to generation. He advocates equalizing the land and polite people, gentry elects wise men as local officials, and the theory of the equality of the truth of the monarch is not available in the previous dynasty."
"Is that?" He Fang's face changed slightly, and he said angrily, "Zhao Yuanzhi doesn't cherish his feathers. The most circulated article in the recent past advocates that a bug called sea cucumber has the effect of nourishing yin and strengthening yang. With his famous work, many people are searching for sea cucumbers to take food, claiming to be the daughter of Lian Yushu and Guangyan's offspring. Is this thing so amazing?" He paused and whispered, "I heard that Danue has also started buying this item. It is said that the official instructed him to list it in the items that trade with the Jurchens."
Zhu Sen smiled slightly and didn't say much. He Fang was just hearing about it, but he knew that after Zhao Ke tried it, he felt very good and ordered Zhao Yuanzhi to collect all other articles to watch. As a result, except for "Taiwan Shizhen", everyone else was talking about the government affairs, which made the official family look knotted and sighed: "Zhao Xingde is really a strange man." But it is probably still time to turn over the rebellion case that the emperor appointed.
Zhao Xingde, Han Ningshuang, Xu Detai and other groups of more than a hundred cavalry arrived at the Huanglong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom. Mr. Han Da arranged them to a large manor. Mr. Han Da originally planned to agree to the leader before Han Ningshuang returned to Liaodong. Unexpectedly, after Han Ningshuang learned the news, he rushed to Huanglong Mansion. He was not in a hurry. The Han army villages were distributed in the vast Taibai Mountain and the Xianbei Mountains. The situations of their respective situations over the past few decades were not very clear. Taking advantage of the time when the heroes of each village were not yet here, the warriors below fought and tried to test the strength of each other's villages. In addition to the Han army, there were also many Jurchen warriors practicing martial arts in the school field, and many girls and maids were joking and fighting each other while pointing at the warriors in the field.
Liaodong was originally mixed with Hu and Han, and customs also influenced each other. Since the Han Chang Rebellion, the Liao Kingdom promoted the change of clothes and haircuts. At this time, most of the Han army had left their left lapels, and many of them had hair, with only their temples, either one long strand, or two braids randomly, or simply shaved their foreheads. Generally speaking, the braids of the Han people were similar to those of the Khitans, and what was left was tied with hair on their temples, while the Jurchen men had braids on their backs. The difference in words and deeds between the two sides was extremely different, which was obvious at a glance.
Under a big tree, Hu held a long sword in both hands and kept chopping at the air in front. The chopping action from the upper right to the lower left had been done more than a hundred times. Large sweat dripped from her forehead, but she bit her lips tightly and refused to rest. A Jurchen man next to her was a little bored and walked over to talk to her. Hu ignored her, and the man actually wanted to compete with her. How could Zhang Hu, who had just practiced martial arts, be the opponent of the Jurchen man? As soon as he met, he was knocked to the ground with the hilt of the sword.
"It's really outrageous for a man to bully a woman!" Liu Zheng, not far away, said angrily. He put down a bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out a horizontal knife, and was about to go up and stand up for the injustice.
"Go to save the beauty again!" Du Chujiao laughed while practicing the stabbing of a horizontal knife. "This guy's legs are weak when he sees a woman. He is like this in Kangguo, but he is still like this in Liaodong." He was born as a sword and shield. He just saw that Hu practiced well just because his strength was weaker. As the saying goes, he never leaves his fist and keeps his mouth. Zhao Xingde led this team of soldiers, whether they are marching or stationing, but they have spare time, they all work hard and practice martial arts. This is the capital for the soldiers to settle down.
Zhao Xingde next to him smiled slightly, but he didn't stop it. It was nothing strange about fighting skills on the school field. He relaxed his right hand and the arrow flew steadily a hundred steps away. The target was full of arrows. Then he walked to the front of the target, pulled the arrow down, and continued to practice. More than ten soldiers gathered at this corner of the school field, and there were already two or three hundred soldiers dancing swords and swords on the entire school field. Some were just practicing martial arts, while others were showing the strength of the village.
"Oh, Liu Yingxiong is not good!" Du Chujiao shouted, and Zhao Xingde turned his head and saw that the Jurchen man who was competing with Liu Zheng was quite brave. After more than a dozen moves, he actually forced Liu Zheng to the point of being in a difficult position. In addition to the Hu family's extremely nervous watching the battle, more than a dozen Han troops, Jurchen troops, and several girls surrounded him. Liu Zheng was originally good at archery skills, but at this moment, he refused to lose face because there were many people around him. Although he had defended but had no attack, he retreated repeatedly, and he only gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat. The Jurchen man could not defeat him for a long time, and his eyes gradually became more fierce.
"Go and take a look." Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Xingde hurriedly took Du Chujiao and others over.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Liu Zheng retreated for a moment, Wanyan Zonghan held the hilt of the knife with both hands and raised it over his head, and was about to catch up and slashed in the air. Zhao Xingde hurriedly shouted, "Show mercy under the knife!" At this moment, even if he bent his bow and arrow, it was too late. At this moment, Hu suddenly rushed into the field as if he was crazy, hugging the Jurchen's waist. Wanyan Zonghan was interrupted by him and scolded, "What a crazy woman." While turning around hard, the hilt of the knife was smashed heavily on her shoulders.
Just at this moment, a sharp sword suddenly reached under Wanyan Zonghan's chin, and the sword edge was filled with a hint of cold air. Even though Wanyan Zonghan had been in battle for a long time, he was scared and sweated. He looked up and looked at Han Ningshuang's cold eyes and couldn't help but say angrily: "Ningshuang, do you want to kill me?" Han Ningshuang said coldly: "This is my maid, you can't hurt her." When Hu saw Han Ningshuang, he didn't wait for Wanyan Zonghan to nod and returned to her with shame.
At this time, Zhao Xingde and others rushed over step by step. Du Chujiao smiled and advised: "It's just a martial arts competition, don't hurt the harmony."
Wanyan Zonghan took the scimitar back into the scabbard and said angrily: "If you don't have the ability, don't meddle in other people's business." When Liu Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but was stared at by Zhao Xingde, indicating that he would not do anything randomly. However, Han Ningshuang had other ideas, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said in a deep voice: "I, a maid, have just been practicing swordsmanship. If you don't accept it, you will compete with me."
Wanyan Zonghan looked her up and down, and suddenly sneered coldly: "I don't dare. If I can't stop, the emperor's aunt wants to scold me and Zongbi wants to blame me, I can't bear it."
Wanyan Zonghan turned around and wanted to leave, but Han Ningshuang shouted behind him: "A big man, a weak woman who only knows how to bully a weak woman who knows how to fight a sword, saw her real opponent, but she could only escape in shame with her tail." Her words were spoken in Jurchen words, and it was extremely smooth. The girls next to her laughed together. The Wanyan tribe was still a matriarchal tribe a hundred decades ago. Not long after its establishment, the highest and inferiority were not as clear as the Central Plains. Although Wanyan Zonghan was the son of Prime Minister Sagai, he could not forbid these Jurchen girls to laugh at him.
Wanyan Zonghan's face suddenly turned red, and he turned around and said in a deep voice: "You want to fight with me. If you lose, you can't complain to your elders." He pulled out the scimitar at his waist. The Wanyan tribe is the descendant of the Nine Heavens Girls. In the past, women in the tribe could shoot arrows and get knives, and it is said that even the leader was a woman. So Wanyan Zonghan didn't feel that it would be indecent to fight with women, so he just wanted to hook up with Ningshuang's maid on this ground.
Han Ningshuang did not answer, but only took the hilt back to her waist, but pointed the sword body diagonally upward at Wanyan Zonghan's face. The scene suddenly became quiet. She only made such a starting position, which attracted the applause and envious look of other Jurchen tribal girls next to her. In this scene, the woman naturally looked towards the woman.
Wanyan Zonghan roared, strode forward, and slashed at the sword held by Han Ningshuang in both hands. Han Ningshuang did not retreat at all. She turned away from her body and took the left step forward. She immediately gained the upper hand and slashed Wanyan Zonghan with a knife, forcing him to swing the knife to block the grid. However, Han Ningshuang did not compete with him. Without waiting for the double blades to intersect, she moved one step again and snatched a very uncomfortable position in Wanyan Zonghan. This time, Wanyan Zonghan turned around and moved with her. The host and guest of both sides had already been achieved. Wanyan Zonghan just relied on his strength and kept waving the scimitar and forcibly protected his whole body. Experts stretched out their hands and knew if there was any. Du Chujiao exclaimed and said, "This is the horizontal sword technique in my Xia army. Where did Miss Han learn from?"
Seeing Liu Zheng's eyes were suspicious, Du Chujiao said angrily: "Old Liu, it's not me that I'm talking about you. This is a two-handed swordsmanship used in melee combat. Miss Han has made her perfect, at least several points better than you. You archers should practice more close-fitting weapons."
