Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 459 Grandpa, I think the whip is more powerful than the gun!

"Grandpa, I understand!" Yang Chengmao grinned.

"Well, when you get married, you can go to the Royal Guard Camp for training. After training in the Royal Guard Camp for a few months, this violent temper will come out!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Grandpa, has my marriage been decided?" Yang Chengmao asked with shining eyes.

Seeing him like this, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but joked, "Why? Want to get married?"

"Well, a little bit! I want to go to the Royal Guard Camp as soon as possible!" Yang Chengmao said, scratching his head.

"..."

Yang Zhengshan was shocked by him.

Do you want to get married early so you can join the Royal Guard Camp earlier?

Instead of spending time with his wife, he wants to train with a group of big men!
Grandson! Your father is still waiting for you to carry on the family line! Let's focus on our wife first.

"Ahem, your marriage hasn't been decided yet, but it should be soon! Your grandmother has asked your aunt to find out the news!"

Although Yang Zhengshan has been too busy to take care of his family during this period, Yu Qingyi is still at home, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

As for the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Haichang, Yang Mingzhi had only one requirement, and that was that she must be virtuous.

The future daughter-in-law!

Naturally, the more virtuous the better.

Yang Mingzhi was ambitious and he never thought of using his son's marriage to make friends with the powerful. He did not ask Yang Chengmao to marry a daughter of a marquis like Yang Chengye did, he just wanted to find a virtuous wife for Chengmao.

So Yu Qingyi asked Yang Yunxue to find out the personality of the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Haichang.

The Mansion of the Earl of Haichang is different from the Mansion of the Marquis of Dongping. The Mansion of the Marquis of Dongping has always been located in the Dongping Thousand Households Office. Therefore, if one wants to inquire about their family news, one can only send people to the Dongping Thousand Households Office.

The Haichang Marquis's Mansion has always been in Kyoto. If one wants to inquire about their family affairs, one only needs to ask the officials and their wives in Kyoto.

As the saying goes, good things do not go out, and bad things spread for thousands of miles.

If the Haichang Marquis's Mansion had any bad reputation, it would definitely be known among the powerful circles.

"Oh!" Cheng Mao felt a little disappointed when he heard that he was still asking for news.

Yang Zhengshan ignored his little thoughts and turned to look at Qingwan.

"Have you been secretly practicing your whip again, girl?"

"Ah, Grandpa, did you figure it out?" Qingwan looked at Yang Zhengshan with her big eyes blinking.

Yang Zhengshan said angrily: "You're almost throwing the gun into pieces, how can Grandpa not see it?"

I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl. There is no martial artist in the entire Yang family who uses a whip, but she likes to practice using a whip.

It’s not that whips are bad. After all, every weapon has its own strengths.

But the problem is that the Yang family passed down the skills of using a spear, but a girl suddenly appeared who liked to practice with a whip.

The key point is that this girl has been practicing with a gun, and now she has changed to practicing with a whip, which seems a bit out of place.

"Hehe, Grandpa, I think a whip is more powerful than a gun!"

"..."

Girl, if someone else said this, I would beat him to death.

Saying that a whip is more powerful than a gun in front of a master of gunmanship is simply a humiliation!

Yang Zhengshan looked at the cute little girl with some headache.

When she was a child, this girl was not a well-behaved person. Now that she has grown up, she seems to have become much more well-behaved. I didn’t expect that she has become rebellious now!

It's really a headache to practice with a whip instead of a gun.

"Forget it, if you want to practice with a whip, then practice with a whip. Don't practice with a gun in the future. You won't learn anything if you practice like this." Yang Zhengshan said helplessly.

In fact, whips and guns have something in common, both can be used to whip people.

As for whether this will affect Yang Qingwan's cultivation progress, it will definitely have an impact, but it will not be too big.

The foundation of a warrior's training at the Body Tempering Realm is the body; it doesn't matter what weapon he uses.

With Yang Qingwan's physique, it would be easy for her to become a warrior next year.

However, weapons will affect combat effectiveness. She will definitely not be able to train well if she does this, and she may have many flaws in future battles. Therefore, if she needs to make changes, she should do so as soon as possible and not drag her feet.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I knew you were the best!" Yang Qingwan said with a beautiful smile.

Yang Zhengshan didn't want to pay attention to this girl anymore, "Okay, all of you go practice on your own!"

This girl actually said that a whip is more powerful than a gun!

Hum~~
The old man is very angry!
"Grandpa, that grandson is leaving first!"

Yang Chengmao turned around and was about to leave, but Yang Qingwan became embarrassed, looking at Yang Chengmao and then at Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Chengmao didn't wait for Yang Qingwan because he wanted to go to the front yard.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the shy little girl, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Grandpa, I want to ask you a favor!" Yang Qingwan came to Yang Zhengshan, massaged his shoulders, and said in a flattering manner.

"What's the matter?" Yang Zhengshan couldn't guess what this girl was thinking.

"Can I decide my own marriage?" Yang Qingwan said.

Yang Zhengshan was stunned and turned to look at her.

There was a hint of stubbornness in the little girl's bright eyes.

He smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to get married before you turn 20!"

After you turn 20 you’re already an old maid and it’ll be hard to get married!

It was rare that Yang Qingwan wanted to make her own decision, so there was no reason for Yang Zhengshan to refuse.

As for why it is limited to under 20 years old, there is nothing that can be done about it. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He must respect the local customs.

If you don't follow customs, you will be criticized and suffer the harm caused by rumors.

Yang Zhengshan hopes that the little girl can find her true love, but he also hopes that she will not suffer any unnecessary harm.

Just like Zhou Lan, probably only she herself knows the pain in her heart.

"Really!" Yang Qingwan didn't expect Yang Zhengshan to agree so readily, and for a moment she couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true!" Yang Zhengshan reached out and rubbed her little head, and said with a smile: "But you have to be careful, there are many unfaithful people in this world!"

Yang Qingwan was extremely surprised, but she said confidently: "Grandpa, don't worry, Qingwan's husband will definitely be a real man."

"My dear husband, don't talk nonsense, little girl. If your mother hears it, she will definitely teach you a lesson!" Yang Zhengshan sneered.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingwan shrank her neck and looked around. After making sure that Wang was not there, she started to laugh.

"Grandpa, talk to my mother!" "Go and talk to her yourself!" Yang Zhengshan refused without hesitation.

If he talks about this kind of thing, he will just be asking for trouble!
Well, he agreed to it. Even if he didn't tell Wang, Wang would probably blame him in her heart.

"Oh! Then I'll tell mom myself!" Yang Qingwan was not disappointed. With grandpa's consent, even if her mother was unwilling, she would not dare to refute.

hee hee~~
Grandpa is so nice!

Looking at the little girl who left happily, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"This girl will definitely cause me trouble in the future!"

After resting for two days, Yang Zhengshan resumed his habit of going to and from the yamen.

He arrives at the general's mansion on time at 7:00 in the morning, has lunch at the general's mansion at noon, and leaves the mansion at around 5:00 in the afternoon. As an office worker, Yang Zhengshan says that going to and from get off work on time is a traditional virtue that an office worker should have.

However, no one in Chongshan Town could control Yang Zhengshan, so Yang Zhengshan's schedule was very flexible. When he got bored of sitting in the study in the general's mansion, he would go to the military camp to take a look. If he came back from the military camp early, he would go back to the mansion directly, since he didn't need to punch in anyway.

The basic training of the Zhenbiao Fifth Battalion has long been completed, and they are still conducting actual combat training. As for the various reinforcement battalions, they will also come to Chongshan Pass in batches for basic training over the past year.

At present, all the soldiers of the Western Reinforcement Battalion have completed basic training, while only one-third of the soldiers of the other five reinforcement battalions have completed basic training.

The reason why the Western Reinforcements Battalion completed the training first was, firstly, because the Western Reinforcements Battalion needed to face the Wulianghu tribe and had to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible in case of emergency.

Second, the other five reinforcement camps are all involved in refugee reception and resettlement this year, so it is not appropriate to mobilize too many soldiers to Chongshan Pass for training.

Just wait until next year. According to the plan, all six reinforcement battalions will complete basic training next year, and the combat effectiveness of Chongshan Town will enter a new stage next year.

That afternoon, Yang Zhengshan had just returned from the military camp outside the city. When passing through the south city, Yang Zhengshan found a lot of people gathered outside a teahouse.

There were still bursts of cheers and applause in the teahouse.

Yang Zhengshan rode past the street on horseback and looked into the teahouse in surprise.

"Why is this teahouse so lively?"

There are very few entertainment activities in Chongshan Pass, and there are no opportunities to visit brothels or flower houses. The reason is very simple. Chongshan Pass is mainly populated by soldiers, and they don't like places like brothels that are full of literary and artistic atmosphere.

In comparison, there are many brothels that purely engage in the flesh trade.

There is an alley on the west side of the south city, which is the largest brothel in Chongshanguan.

Apart from the brothels, the only entertainment options in Chongshanguancheng are opera troupes and listening to stories in teahouses, among which teahouses are said to be the most popular.

Martial arts are popular in Dayong, and there are countless legends and stories in the martial arts world. Ordinary people and martial artists alike like to listen to some of the strange and wonderful stories in the martial arts world.

In a society where entertainment is scarce, teahouses where people can listen to books are packed almost every day.

Yang Zhengshan also likes to listen to storytelling in the teahouse. The storytellers are very eloquent and can tell stories vividly and fascinatingly, which sounds very interesting.

Unfortunately, he was busy with official duties and rarely had the opportunity to spare some time to listen in the teahouse.

He came back early today, and seeing the teahouse so lively, he couldn't help but become interested.

The personal attendant went forward to listen for a few times, then came back with a smile and reported: "My Lord, the storyteller in the teahouse is telling you about your brilliant strategy in the Battle of Guanshankou!"

"Uh!"

Yang Zhengshan didn't expect that the story was actually about his own deeds, which made him feel like he was eating the melon on his own head.

However, he was also very curious about what the storyteller said about him.

"Take the horses back first. I'll go and listen!"

As he said this, he handed the reins to his follower and quietly squeezed into the crowd.

He was wearing a dark blue brocade sheepskin coat today. Although he looked very imposing, he was not very eye-catching outside the teahouse.

He didn't need to go too far inside; he could hear the storytelling from inside just by standing outside the door.

slap~
The gavel rang, followed by a clear voice.

"In the fire in the valley, Prince Uto was so scared that he cried and peed. Fortunately, his followers were loyal. When they saw the fire coming, they quickly dragged Prince Uto onto his horse and ran away."

"Prince Uto was scared and anxious. As he ran, he looked back at the fire behind him in fear, fearing that the fire would burn him."

"Seeing the fire getting farther and farther away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief."

"But at this moment~~"

"Bang~~" The gavel sounded again, and the storyteller's voice became louder.

"Little Prince Uto seemed to notice a figure flashing in the fire!"

"He wondered if he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to see a man on horseback galloping towards him from the roaring fire."

"This man wears a phoenix-wing helmet, a bright armor, is nine feet tall, and rides a magical horse!"

"Speaking of this horse, it is definitely a strange beast. Not only is it tall and majestic, but it can also walk on fire. It can run in the blazing fire as if it were walking on flat ground~~"

Hearing this, Yang Zhengshan found it difficult to listen.

Damn, you’re such a boaster!
Without having to listen to what was said afterwards, he knew that the figure walking on fire was himself.

He lost his mind and rushed into the fire.

It can even walk on fire. Hongyun is indeed powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strange beast from the human world. But if you say that it can walk on fire, you have to ask it whether it is willing to do so!

As for the little Prince Uto as described by the storyteller, he was like a coward and was scared to death by the fire!
Although Yang Zhengshan didn't know Prince Uto's reaction at that time, he knew that Prince Uto was definitely not a coward.

Who is the Little Prince Uto?
That was King Wuliang's most powerful youngest son.

He led tens of thousands of Hu cavalry to sweep western Liaoning and defeated Darong's 300,000-strong army.

Although he was defeated in the Battle of Guanshankou, the reason for his failure was that Yang Zhengshan had the advantage of time, place and people!
In the Battle of Guanshankou, no matter who becomes Yang Zhengshan's opponent, he will most likely be defeated.

By controlling the weather and taking advantage of the geographical location, and with the cooperation of Liang Chu and tens of thousands of imperial guards, it would be difficult for Yang Zhengshan to lose.

Prince Uto had no chance of winning at all.

Therefore, the reason for the failure of the Battle of Guanshankou was not that Prince Uto was incompetent.

Today, Prince Uto is still the most outstanding prince of the Wuliang royal family, and among the Wulianghu people, he is also the prince with the highest voice to inherit the throne.

Even though he lost 70,000 Hu cavalry at Guanshankou, he still had a very high reputation among the Wulianghu tribe.

If nothing unexpected happens, when the elderly King Wuliang passes away, Utuo will inherit the throne of the Wulianghu tribe.

A person like this, you say he was scared to death by the fire!

Isn't this nonsense?

But this is normal. Storytellers have always liked to exaggerate facts and use all kinds of exaggerated drama to arouse the emotions of the listeners.

The main reason was that Yang Zhengshan knew the truth, so he felt that it sounded a bit fake. However, it was different for other people who were listening to the story around him. Cheers came one after another, and the atmosphere became more and more heated.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, turned around, left the teahouse and went home.
