Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 15 Martial Arts (9)

Night, Xuelongpo Camp.

The candlelight illuminated the blue military tent, Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng were both lying on the hospital bed, Xu Jing applied herbal medicine to their wounds.As he said before, he had no plans to join the army, and he was able to enter the barracks only because he promised to take good care of his two children.

Ever since Gu Feng saw Ye Ziqi win, he fell into a coma with peace of mind and has not woken up till now.On the contrary, Ye Ziqi, who has a thin physique, seems to have a strange physique, and he can already open his eyes at this moment.

"Brother Xu," Ye Ziqi said, "It's too late, you should sleep too."

"No hurry." Xu Jing replied, he carefully checked the bruises on the two teenagers, when he saw Ye Ziqi's face, he suddenly broke into a smile, and said: "Little Ye Zi, you are really brave."

"Hey?"

"Challenge General Xue, aren't you afraid of offending the adults and making the general angry? The life of a child like you is nothing in the eyes of the big men."

"Scared." Ye Ziqi replied: "But if Xue Yi is a real general, I won't be afraid."

"Oh? What does this mean?" Xu Jing suddenly became interested.

"Because although I am not very skilled in martial arts, I am still a good martial artist, so I can imagine General Xue's mood. If he is really a general with strong martial arts skills..."

Ye Ziqi rubbed his head and said: "Think about it, the martial arts has already started for eight or nine days. For so many days, Xue Yi just sits there and watches every day, unable to do anything. If a person who is really good at martial arts , at this time, it must be too itchy, right?

Anyway, if it were me, I would have to find an excuse to go down and have a good fight to relieve my addiction.So I took the initiative to find him at that time. I thought it was not only not offensive, but also a good thing to do what he wanted. "

Xu Jing was surprised when he heard the words, but also overjoyed, and said, "What a little brother, you're really smart."

After another half hour, Zi Ziqi was also exhausted and fell asleep. Xu Jing made the quilts for the two children and blew out the candles.Then, instead of going back to bed and falling asleep, he lifted the tent and walked into the barracks.

There are many roads between the military tents, but Xu Jing deftly chose a small road that was least noticed by the sentries, and sneaked all the way without being noticed.

Finally, he jumped into a forest on the top of a slope, where the moon was all in sight, and it was a cliff, on which there was a tall figure standing near the abyss.

Xu Jing approached the figure, cupped his fists and said, "Xu Jing pays his respects to the general."

The figure turned around and looked at the face, it was actually the person who presided over the martial arts during the day——Xue Yi!
"I haven't seen you for two years, but you have accepted two good seedlings." Seeing Xu Jing coming, Xue Yi was not surprised, obviously waiting here for him, and said with a sneer on his face, "What are you beating this time?" idea?"

"The general misunderstood," Xu Jing said with a smile, "Those two children are not ours."

"What did you say?" Xue Yi said in surprise, "Could it be that my eyes are dazzled, and they didn't use your basic skills?"

Xu Jing replied: "It's our work, not our people. I picked these two children out of the refugee camp. They seem to have good qualifications and good temperament. Because of the disaster of horse thieves, there is nowhere to go. I Teach them kung fu to join the army, just to accumulate good fortune."

Xue Yi's face changed when he heard the words, and he said, "Xu Jing, you can't just say these words casually."

"Don't dare to lie to the general. Although I don't stay in the Northland often, I am still from the country of Ju." Xu Jing said, "So you don't have to worry, they probably won't become deserters like me. .”

"You!" Xue Yi paced back and forth on the cliff, and finally stopped and said, "Then I will pay attention to these two children. But when they become successful in the future, you are not allowed to come and talk about this fate with them , Let them follow you to the Central Plains!"

Xu Jing smiled and said, "Don't dare, dare not."

Xue Yi said coldly again: "This is not a joke, my Ju country temple is small, but I can't come and go as I please!"

"The general is serious," Xu Jing said with a smile, "We are really loyal. How about I go get a pen and paper and write a note for the general?"

"Hmph." Xue Yi snorted coldly, shook his hand after a while and said, "Forget it, let's talk about business. You have already communicated with the general?"

"Yes, people have been sent to the city to report to General Lian and General Baicheng."

"I heard that you have been very close to General Shuang in the past two years?"

"That's true."

"But she—forget it, how many of you will come this time?"

"About a thousand."

"How do you see the martial arts these days?"

"There is nothing wrong with it. General Lian's arrangement is really wonderful, there is no room for me to comment. By the end of next month, our people will use this martial arts to infiltrate Ju's army as planned, and it will not arouse others' suspicion."

"My country of Ju has always used the military household system to select soldiers. Soldiers are more expensive than elites. This time, I have spent this effort just for you. Don't let General Lian down."

"Xu Jing will keep it in mind."

"Go to the city to see the general before you leave. Sometimes he will mention you, a heartless bastard."

Xu Jing smiled, nodded, and retreated into the dense forest behind him.

But Xue Yi still stood there for a while, looked at where Xu Jing left, and muttered to himself:

"Don't let the people of Ju State down."

Two days later, Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng were finally able to get out of bed, and they immediately went to Xue Yi and asked to go to Beishan Town for patrol.

Xue Yi didn't immediately agree to the two, but asked the two to go to their immediate superior: Centurion Chief Chen Wufu.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng then went to Chen Wufu to ask for instructions.The centurion was also in the arena that day, knowing that these two children were highly valued by Xue Yi, and they would have a smooth career in the future, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect them.

Hearing the two people's request, Chen Wufu thought to himself: General Xue could have agreed to this matter, but he pushed it to himself, presumably because he was afraid that these two children were young and energetic, and if he directly agreed to them, he thought he could get along with the general. To be honest, from now on, the eyes are higher than the top, and it is difficult for others to control.

If it was him who made the promise of grace, the two sons would be very grateful to him, and it would be much easier to command in the future.Wanting to understand this level, Chen Wufu gathered a team that day and went straight to Beishan Town.

Arriving at the town, there are burned ruins everywhere, but the horse thieves have already left.Gu Feng and Ye Ziqi hurriedly found their family members and buried them carefully one by one.Chen Wufu also sent people to bury all the corpses in the town together and set up a grave.

Until the end, Gu Feng and Ye Ziqi were the only ones who did not find Ye Lingsha's body. The two knew that the most likely cause was that it had been burned in the fire, so they did not investigate further.

In front of the tomb, the two made an oath to avenge their family, burned the paper money, and left with the army.

In the next month, the two spent time in the barracks learning various rules and practicing martial arts in the army.Although they were named Shichang, they also received Shichang's salary, but because their time in the army was too short, they didn't really give them ten subordinates.

At the end of January, there was a heavy snowfall in the sky, Xue Yi issued a military order to bring [-] soldiers into Hanye City, Gu Feng and Ye Ziqi were among them.

In the early morning of this day, a team set off from Xuelongpo in a mighty manner and came to Hanye City.There is only white snow along the road, and most of the refugees outside the city are still asleep and have not woken up.

Compared with when they first came to the city gate, the number of refugees has decreased a lot.Seeing this, Ye Ziqi couldn't help being filled with emotion, if he hadn't met Xu Jing and learned about the martial arts, where would he be now?Is it dead or alive?
Just as he was thinking, a person by the side of the road raised his hand to greet him, and it was Xu Jing who had been away for nearly a month.

With the permission of the chief, Ye and Gu rushed to Xu Jing, Xu Jing first smiled and said: "It's no use staying in the barracks, it looks stronger."

Gu Feng said: "Brother Xu, what are your plans next?"

Xu Jingdao: "Looking at the heavy snow these days, many people froze to death, and Hanye City didn't open the city to accept the people. I think it's a death plan and it won't open the city. I won't wait any longer. I am a person in exile at the end of the world. , and then plan to go south."

Gu Feng had a look of concern on his face, Xu Jing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why, do you want to go to the south with Big Brother to see and see?"

Ye Ziqi sighed, and said: "Brother Xu, don't tease my brother. You...are you a chivalrous person?"

Xu Jing raised his brows when he heard this, "How did you find out?"

Gu Feng asked: "What is the way of chivalry?"

Ye Ziqi said: "Chivalry is a school of thought. It was mentioned in the sage books I read before. In the past, the development of sage studies reached a bottleneck, and some disciples felt that sage studies were useless in the world; they established their own schools and advocated abandoning them. The theory of forbearance and forgiveness in the sage's learning is chivalrous and righteous, and love and hatred are happy.

In the early days, it could be said to be a school of thought, but later its style gradually approached that of Jianghu sects.The most common thing chivalry does is to send people to drought, flood, soldiers, locusts, and epidemic disaster areas to collect accurate information, and then contact various forces in the rivers and lakes to lend a helping hand.

I thought a long time ago, Brother Xu, you have profound martial arts skills, you can go anywhere in Leizhou, but you just stay outside the gate of this city for a long time, you can only be a chivalrous person. "

Xu Jing smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad. Now that you know how, do you want to follow me?"

Ye Ziqi shook his head and said: "Brother Xu is joking. I also said earlier that I just want to enter this cold leaf city gate and seek safety."

Xu Jing said solemnly: "Now, you still say that?"

Ye Ziqi was stunned, and said in a low voice: "I don't have the heart to save people now, I just want to take revenge. The six prefectures of the Song dynasty, the northernmost state of Ju, I just want to stay here and kill horse thieves."

Xu Jing patted Ye Ziqi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, we are still people of the same path."

Ye Ziqi didn't understand the meaning of these words, but Xu Jing had already clasped his fists and said: "The mountain is high and the road is far away, there will be a period later!" He could only say: "Brother, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

After Xu Jing left, Gu Feng and Ye Ziqi sighed a few times, then entered the team and continued to advance into the city gate.

"It turns out that there are such righteous organizations in Six States, but I've never heard of them before." Gu Feng said suddenly.

Ye Ziqi shook his head: "There are a lot of bad things about chivalry, I'm always embarrassed to say it in front of him."

Gu Feng smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Yezi, today is the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Well, it's a good day for us to go to town."

"Today is your birthday."

"Eh?"

Ye Ziqi was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned his head towards Gu Feng, only to see Gu Feng also turned towards him, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to give you this year, I can only give you this sentence - auspicious birthday happy!"

At this time, the two teenagers were walking under the city gate, and the rising sun shone on their faces, making everything look so bright.

Ye Ziqi suddenly didn't know what expression to use to welcome the news, he didn't remember his birthday carefully.But what Gu Feng remembered should be correct, every year during his birthday, he would invite Gu Feng to his home.

"Don't stay like this, just smile." Gu Feng stretched out his hand towards Ye Ziqi, "When you won the ring, I didn't see you smile, but you cried."

But Ye Ziqi blocked Gu Feng's hand casually.

"You remember wrongly." Ye Ziqi took two steps forward quickly, and suddenly his whole body fell into the shadow of the city gate. Then, he turned around and said, "My birthday is the fifth day of November."

Ye Ziqi couldn't remember his birthday because he was a pampered eldest son. In the past, his family always reminded him a few days before his birthday to help him remember it.

In the future, no one will remind and commemorate him.

A day that no one can remember is not a birthday.

"The fifth day of November is my birthday." Ye Ziqi repeated.

The day when he was reborn as a half-demon was also the day when the horse thief entered the mountain.

From now on, he only needs to remember this day in his life.
