From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 183 The Sword
"Report to the emperor."

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Qing sat firmly on the dragon chair in Qianyang Hall, and Li Mi, who had been at home all the time, was on both sides of His Highness's civil and martial arts sub-station.

After the talk yesterday, he returned to the palace and had a good night's sleep. At this time, Yuan Wendu and others at the court meeting also looked the same, as if they had forgotten all about yesterday, and did not show the slightest worry.

I don't know whether to accept fate calmly, or have other thoughts.

"Half a month ago, Liu Wuzhou sent his subordinate Song Jingang to attack Bingzhou first, and then invaded Haozhou. When the two places were in chaos, Song Jingang defeated Jinyang Peiji again, causing the cities in the north and south of Jinyang to fall."

"I also heard about this in Chang'an." Yang Qing nodded towards Yuan Wendu and said, "But I heard that Liu Wuzhou once invaded Luoyang. Is there such a thing?"

"It's true." Yuan Wendu looked at Pei Renji upon hearing this.

Pei Renji immediately took a step forward, and said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the last general returned to Luoyang yesterday just for this purpose."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Yang Qing waved his hands and said, "Go ahead."

"Yes." Pei Renji said with embarrassment: "Liu Wuzhou's southward trip was originally in Luoyang without hindrance, but half a month ago a Turkic army somehow appeared in the north of Mang Mountain.

Killed wantonly on the north bank of the Yellow River and provoked the defenders of Mengjin Pass.

The dog, Pei Xingyan, was guarding Mengjin Pass that day..."

Mang Mountain is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains, the northern barrier of Luoyang, and is located on the south bank of the Yellow River.

On the north bank of the Yellow River is a small plain between the Taihang Mountains and the Mang Mountains. There are villages, towns and small cities, and there are not too many city gates. It is usually protected by Luoyang.

Thinking of Pei Xingyan's style, Yang Qing could already guess the result.

"Did Pei Xingyan cross the river to attack the enemy?"

"Exactly." Pei Renji looked ashamed: "The dog Pei Xingyan led the army out of the city without authorization, please punish the emperor!"

"Did you win?"

"It's... the end is hard to say."

Yang Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "General Pei, what's wrong with you today, you are hesitating. Tell me, Prime Minister Yuan."

"Reporting to the emperor, General Pei Xingyan led more than a thousand troops out of the city to attack the enemy half a month ago. After defeating the Turkic stragglers, he went around the mountain and chased them all the way north. He has not returned for half a month."

"Is there no news coming back?"

After listening to Yuan Wendu's explanation, Yang Qing knew that Pei Xingyan had gone north to attack the Turks, no wonder Pei Renji hesitated.

The nature of sending troops privately is basically not far from rebellion, although the front of the troops is directed at the alien race in the north.

But if it was before the world was in chaos, Pei Renji's whole family would have been imprisoned and questioned, waiting to be executed.

"The last time I got the news is that three days ago Pei Xingyan led people to appear in Jinyang, defeated Liu Wu's bandits on Wednesday, and went to Mobei..."

"Damn it, this is..."

Pei Xingyan is a typical warrior on the battlefield, especially good at attacking.

He takes the lead in battle, and his indomitable momentum is very inspiring, which can be called a tiger controlling a pack of wolves.

"More than a thousand people." Yang Qing laughed and said, "What is he going to do? Kill him to the end of the world?"

Yuan Wendu said helplessly: "According to reports from people who came a few days ago, Pei Xingyan defeated the Turkic soldiers on the north bank of the Yellow River and recruited young and strong soldiers along the way. After defeating Liu Wuzhou, he recruited his soldiers.

Now there are no less than 3000 people under him..."

"Your Majesty." Pei Renji knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty: "I'm young and ignorant, I hope the Emperor will punish me lightly."

"What do you lose if you win the battle?"

In troubled times, many of the rules and laws of the Taiping years no longer apply.

What Pei Xingyan did in the past was treasonous and unforgivable, but now it's a different matter.

"Didn't he say when he'd be back?"

Yuan Wendu and Pei Renji looked at each other when they heard the words, then shook their heads together.

"Let him go, you should come back when you've had your fill of fun." Yang Qing got up and walked towards the apse, waving to everyone, "It's okay, let's go."

After walking a few steps, he looked back at Li Mi and said, "Duke Wei, find someone to watch over."

Li Mi cupped his hands and agreed, "Yes."

When the group of officials dispersed, Pei Renji followed Yuan Wendu out of the hall, still a little puzzled: "Prime Minister, what does the emperor just mean, does it mean that I will no longer punish my Pei family?"

Yuan Wendu sighed: "The general's concern is causing confusion. It's normal for the emperor to leave for more than a month. How can he blame the crime? What's more, he was there yesterday... well, you were also present."

After a pause, he continued: "Send someone to pay close attention, and if there is any change, let's report to the emperor."

……

Leaving Qianyang Hall, Yang Qing picked some snacks and fruits in the palace, and then walked out of Ziwei City all the way, heading towards Linglongjiao's residence.

It didn't take long to reach the door, and from a distance, Xiaorou sat with her arms around her knees, waiting on the steps of the door.

"Xiaorou?"

"what!"

Hearing someone call her name, the little girl subconsciously raised her head and looked back.

When she saw Yang Qing, she immediately jumped up and rushed over.

"Haha, wait for me?"

Raising his hand to rub the little girl's head, Yang Qing walked into the courtyard with her shoulders in his arms.

Turning around and closing the courtyard door, he heard the sharp sound of swords cutting through the air in the direction of the backyard.

When they arrived at the place with Xiaorou, they saw Gao Pei'an dancing his sword in the garden, while Linglongjiao was sitting quietly watching.

"Master!"

Seeing Yang Qing arrived, Gao Pei'an still went up to meet him after practicing a set of sword skills, and he and his sister dragged him to the left and right to sit down at the stone table in the garden.

Linglongjiao didn't get up on the other side, and complained to him across the table: "You leave a letter and leave, but you have hurt me."

Yang Qing also knew that after she left, Yuan Wendu and others would inevitably pester her to ask questions, so she changed the topic with a smile: "You taught Pei'an the sword technique just now?"

"Master didn't fulfill his responsibilities, so I had no choice but to resign myself to it."

"I can't stay in Luoyang for long." Handing the food box in his hand to Xiao Rou, Yang Qing took Gao Pei'an's sword and started to play casually: "Yesterday, I had a showdown with Yuan Wen."

Linglongjiao was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, but then felt relieved: "I knew you had this plan, but I thought that you would be the emperor, and you should enjoy it for a while."

After thinking about it, she asked again: "Master Yuan, they probably don't want to let you go?"

"Of course they have their own plans, but it's hard for me to take care of them."

After recounting Chang'an and his party, Linglongjiao said happily after hearing this: "Has Kou Zhong come to Luoyang?"

Yang Qing recalled that she once told Linglongjiao that the colorful stone she was looking for needed Kou Zhong's help, so she nodded and said: "The ship of Dongming faction is still at the dock, you can find it when you go."

"Don't be in a hurry, the emperor is in front of you, and the little girl will have lunch with you before we talk about it."

"How is your recovery?"

"It's faster than expected." Linglongjiao's eyes lit up, "It's already recovered to sixty to seventy percent."

"Master."

The two were talking, when Gao Pei'an suddenly interjected, "I implore Master to teach me the sword technique."

Linglongjiao nodded when she heard the words: "You master should show some housekeeping skills. This kid is very talented. He almost wiped out my family."

Yang Qing looked at Gao Pei'an while listening, he didn't need to probe, he knew that his Sunflower True Qi had already taken shape just by judging by his breath.

"How are you doing with Yoga Tantra?"

Gao Pei'an thought about it, and then explained his current state one by one.

The five senses are sharper, the thinking is faster, and the memory is stronger.

I can control myself more freely, and at the same time, I have benefited a lot from the practice of internal strength.

After listening to him, Yang Qing thought for a moment, and decided to pass on the "Sword Technique of Dispelling Evil" to him, and at the same time add another "Sword Technique of Raising Myself".

The most suitable for "Sunflower Treasure", of course, is "Evil Resisting Sword Art".

This way of swordsmanship is mainly about killing and cutting. Although Gao Pei'an is precocious, he is still young and has a wound in his heart that is difficult to heal.

Therefore, supplemented with "Yangwu Sword Art", it does not seek to cultivate any righteousness, but at least it can be used to calm one's heart and not go too extreme.

When he is older, he can teach the more complicated "Dugu Nine Swords".

"Okay, I will teach you two sets of sword skills today as a teacher."

After finishing speaking, he threw the long sword back to Gao Pei'an, walked to the open space in the garden, drew out his saber, and danced according to the 72-way evil sword technique.

Yang Qing's own swordsmanship was originally based on "Dugu Nine Swordsmanship", but since he obtained "Evil Resisting Swordsmanship", he has basically not studied it carefully.

It's just that even "Dugu Nine Swords" has been used speciously by him now, and there is no trace of it.

The evil-disciplining sword, a sword move that still has traces to follow, is naturally easy to use, and even made many perfect changes in the blink of an eye.

More than two months ago, Gao Pei'an had personally witnessed Yang Qing's mighty sword on the Luohe River, and it had already left an indelible imprint on his heart.

At this moment, seeing Yang Qing passing the sword in person, he immediately ran up to watch the memory attentively, not wanting to blink his eyes.

Linglongjiao is also a good swordsman herself, so she knows Yang Qing's swordsmanship better.Seeing that he didn't shy away from him, he also looked at it seriously.

"Evil Resisting Swordsmanship" cooperates with "Sunflower Treasure", which takes a strange and treacherous route. The sword path is tricky and treacherous, but it is as fast as a ghost, which makes people hard to guard against.

Yang Qing circled a thick bluestone that was half a man's height in the garden, deliberately slowed down and walked around with his sword.

Gao Pei'an and Linglongjiao saw that his footwork was erratic, and his body sometimes fluttered like catkins, fluctuating in all directions;

Sometimes it bends like a willow, almost tossing and turning on the ground.

Only the sword in his hand, no matter how his figure changes, the blade is always like a spirit snake spewing out letters.

The pricking and slashing almost formed a beam of light dancing freely in the air, without a single break from beginning to end.

In the end, the long sword almost turned into a streak of light and hovered around him, slashing at the bluestone in front of him from all angles, and at the fastest time, it was connected into a sky full of sword shadows, without the slightest gap or flaw.

After a while, he retracted his sword and put it back into its sheath, and after walking back a few steps, the bluestone behind him made a "crash" sound and scattered into a pile of square stones of the same size.

"How much do you write down?"

Gao Pei'an was already fascinated by watching it, but when he heard Yang Qing's question, he came back to his senses and said, "I only write down [-]% or [-]% of it."

"Go and practice and show me."

Although this sword technique is not complicated, it has many changes.

It is already commendable to remember more than half of it after only watching it once.

When Gao Pei'an stepped forward to practice the sword, Linglongjiao deliberately asked: "You practice the sword in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will learn your unique skills secretly?"

Yang Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "Although this sword technique is good, it is not enough to be called a unique skill. If it must be called a unique skill, it should be Pei'an's unique skill. If you don't have the right mind, it won't have much power if you practice it.

If you see something, you deserve it. "

"I knew you were not so generous."

"It's not that I'm stingy." Yang Qing watched Gao Pei'an draw his sword, and slowly said: "The way to simplicity, in fact, no matter what sword technique comes to the end, it still has to return to the essence of purity and simplicity.

Only by condensing one's own spirit, energy and mind can the sword be unhindered. "

"I haven't reached your level." Linglongjiao said with a bitter face, "Things that can be seen and touched are suitable for me."

"That's right." Yang Qing nodded and said, "I'll teach you a set of mental techniques. If you can master them, I'll teach you another set of sword techniques."

"Huh?" Linglongjiao said happily, "What kind of thinking?"

"Left and right fighting technique!"

"What is left and right fighting technique?"

When she heard Yang Qing's explanation, her face became bitter again: "What kind of mentality is this? Can anyone do it?"

"Yes, and more than one."

"What does this mentality have to do with the swordsmanship you mentioned?"

"I have a combination of two swords. If you master the mental technique, you will naturally be able to practice this sword technique."

"Double swords?" Linglongjiao asked strangely, "Then why not just find someone to practice with?"

Yang Qing shook his head and said: "This sword technique requires the two to communicate with each other, and there must be no selfish distractions. Can you find such a person?"

Linglongjiao was silent for a while, then said helplessly, "It's really hard to find such a person."

"It is precisely because of this that I let you practice that mental method, and you will be self-sufficient in the future without asking for help."

"So that's how it is..." Linglongjiao understood clearly after hearing the words, "Sure enough, there are many restrictions on advanced martial arts."

"That's right." Yang Qing said, "If you practice together with your unique internal skills, maybe 30 years from now, you will be able to fight with Fu Cailin."

"There are still exercises?" Linglongjiao lost her voice: "In 30 years, Fu Cailin will probably die of old age. I won't learn any broken sword techniques!"

"Haha."

Yang Qing let out a laugh, and turned to watch Gao Pei'an practice his sword.

Suddenly the sleeves tightened, and looking back, Xiaorou was pulling his cuff with one hand and pointing the other to the ground.

On the soft soil in the garden, there are two patterns on one side and one circle.

"Did you draw it?"

Xiao Rou nodded with a smile upon hearing this.

Linglongjiao said in amazement: "I don't believe it, draw it again and let me see."

Xiaorou squatted down lightly according to her words, stretched out her hands and paddled silently on the ground.

In an instant, next to the original pattern, a square and a circle appeared again.

This time, not only Yang Qing was surprised, but Linglongjiao was even more shocked from ear to ear.

"It's not that I intend to amuse you, some things are really born."

Pulling Xiao Rou to her face for a closer look, Yang Qing recalled her empty and lifeless eyes when the two met for the first time.

"You said just now that this kung fu can beat Fu Cailin in 30 years?"

"In terms of martial arts alone... In this world, you should have the power to fight, whether you win or not." Yang Qing explained: "It's still the same sentence, at Fu Cailin's level, martial arts moves are no longer the main thing.

A little lack of energy and mind is the result of life and death. "

"That's enough!" Linglongjiao pulled Xiao Rou over, hugged her on her lap, and sighed while rubbing her face: "Girl, you can't forget me."

"what……"

While the two were laughing and laughing, Gao Pei'an had already practiced a round of swordsmanship and was waiting for Yang Qing to correct him.

Standing up and walking in front of him, Yang Qing warned: "Although this sword technique is compatible with the one you practiced, it is too hostile. I will pass on "Raising My Sword" to you again, and watch it carefully."

In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the dead branches all over the garden were flickered by the sword light reflecting the scorching sun above, vaguely showing the colorful flowers when the flowers were in full bloom...
