Invincible son

Chapter 53 053

Green Willow Villa, the main house.

Pei Yue finished his one-hour horse stance exercise every day, and was urged by Taohua to return to the backyard to take a bath and change his clothes. As soon as he came out, Taohua reported that Deng Zai was waiting in the main hall.

"Master." Seeing Pei Yue coming in, Deng Zai immediately got up and saluted.

Pei Yue waved his hand, motioned him to sit down, poured two cups of tea from the table, took a cup and handed it to Deng Zai, and said calmly: "Did you see Mr. Shen when you delivered the letter yesterday?"

Deng Zai took the teacup with both hands, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face. Now he knows exactly who the owner of the blue-gray building is. It's no wonder that Pei Yue said the mission was dangerous.Even though he was calm by nature and had a lot of courage when he was a child, every time he approached that blue-gray building, he felt extremely depressed and nervous, as if his every word and deed were being watched in the dark.

He thought for a while, and said calmly: "I met Mr. Shen. He is as kind as before. After I handed the letter to him, I asked about my young master's situation in Zhuangzi. I replied that everything was fine. Well, I didn't elaborate."

Pei Yue smiled with satisfaction, and asked, "How is the matter in Zhuangzi handled?"

Deng Zai replied meticulously: "A total of 120 and seven men followed the young master to the field the day before yesterday. Four of them escaped halfway. There are a total of 92 households. The young master gave me 200 taels of silver, and each family gave two taels of silver, and the remaining 16 taels of silver were returned to Miss Peach Blossom."

Pei Yue secretly sighed in his heart, if this kid was born in the previous life, he would be the most standard secretary embryo, and what is more outstanding about him is that he is full of courage, and he will not be so slippery that he will lose his blood.

Deng Zai glanced at Pei Yue and said in a low voice, "Master, I found Cheng Guang in the capital according to your instructions."

Pei Yue's face became serious.

Deng Zai continued: "Cheng Guang said that he used to have several relatives, but these years they have rarely seen each other, nor are they close, and he has no cousin."

Pei Yue frowned slightly. Sure enough, as he guessed, the identity of the peasant woman was fake.

When Taohua talked about it, he sensed that something was wrong. An ordinary peasant woman couldn't find her relatives, but she insisted on seeing the head of the family. Tao Hua directly rejected all of her kindness, which showed that she was not looking for any relatives at all.This woman must be bullying Aunt Qi's old age and Taohua's young age, and she found out that she was only a 13-year-old boy, so she didn't hide anything at all, and she was so frank and straightforward that it made people speechless.

It's fine for Taohua to be young and ignorant, Pei Yue has been a man for two lifetimes, and he has so much experience, how can such blatant stepping-on behavior deceive him?

Apart from bandits coming to investigate, Pei Yue couldn't think of any other possibility.

So he told Deng Zai: "Call them all and wait in the atrium. As for Wang Yong...well, let him come together."

"Yes."

After Deng Zai left in a hurry, Pei Yue thought solemnly, since the bandits were likely to send people to attack him, of course he would not sit still and wait for death.

After a while, he got up and left the main hall, came outside the left wing room, and knocked on the door of Mr. Xi's room.

"Come in."

"Sir, I need your help with something."

Mr. Xi was writing in front of the window. Hearing this, he put the brush on the pen holder, got up and sat at the table opposite Pei Yue, and said gently, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yue calmed down and said methodically: "Mr. once said that there is no shortcut to martial arts practice. No one can become a master in a short period of time. Therefore, if Deng Zai and the others face the skilled bandits, they will be able to rely on blood and bravery." Chi is irresistible, right?"

Mr. Xi smiled and said: "I don't know whether to say that you have good vision or that you are lucky. These eight young martial arts talents are not bad. , can become your powerful arm in time. But you are right, they are still very weak at the moment, and they have no strength to fight against people in the martial arts."

Pei Yue is a little happy. Since they are talented, it means that no matter what their temperament is, they are not stupid and they will not be slow to learn.

"Sir, fighting alone is not an opponent, what if they form an army to meet the enemy?"

"Formation?"

Mr. Xi looked slightly stunned. Battle formations are extremely complicated knowledge, and he hasn't started teaching Pei Yue these things yet. I don't know where he learned them from?What's more, Deng Zai and the others only had eight people, and they couldn't make up the number needed by the army anyway.

Pei Yue quickly explained: "Sir, what I'm talking about is not the kind of formation on the battlefield, but a simple formation suitable for small groups of infantry against martial arts masters."

Mr. Xi was aroused by what he said, and said with a smile: "Please tell me in detail."

"I call this formation a mandarin duck formation. There are eight people in a group. The first two guards with shields. This person must be physically strong and have a strong ability to resist attacks. Behind the shield soldiers are two people holding wolf whisks made of moso bamboo. This thing is This shape can effectively restrain the enemy's weapons and speed. Behind the wolf soldiers are four pikemen, responsible for covering up their comrades and taking the opportunity to attack the enemy. Like Deng Zai, they are fighting alone with martial arts masters. Now it is natural There is no chance of winning, but if you form an formation to meet the enemy, the shield soldiers can defend, the wolf soldiers can block, and the pike soldiers can kill. If the enemy is too strong, you can also combine multiple teams in one place, otherwise, you can separate them. A team of four is enough to deal with ordinary warriors or ordinary bandits who are several times larger than yourself."

Pei Yue became more and more excited as he talked, so he simply dipped his finger in the tea and drew a sketch on the table.

Mr. Xi looked at him in shock, and asked a little out of composure: "Brother Yue, did you come up with this yourself?"

Pei Yue blushed a little rarely and said: "No, these days I'm always worried that the bandits will come to attack me, or those dudes won't give up, and I'm always thinking about how to deal with it, so I suddenly got this situation in my dream last night. I just don’t know if it will work, so I’m here to ask Mr.

Of course, this formation was not obtained by Pei Yue in a dream, but it was mentioned in the deeds of Qi Jiguang, a military strategist in the Ming Dynasty, which he had seen in his previous life.

The mandarin duck array is flexible and changeable, and it can be used in combination with a variety of weapons, which is extremely effective against more powerful enemies.

Mr. Xi praised: "This array is not only effective, but it looks simple but hides the magic of military art. Brother Yue, you are really amazing!"

Pei Yue smiled a little embarrassedly.

Mr. Xi looked at him appreciatively, and asked with a smile, "Are you planning to implement this formation in Zhuangzhong?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "These people depend on me to live, I hope they can learn how to protect themselves. It doesn't matter whether it's bandits or dudes, when they come to make trouble, it's okay for Mr. Taohuayou and I to protect them, but these ordinary farmers It is inevitable that I will be murdered. What's more, I can't stay here forever. If my husband and I are not here in the future, they will at least have some ability to protect themselves. So I want to ask my husband to help improve this formation. First teach Deng Zai and them, and then Then they will teach the village households, and all adult males in the village must learn it."

Mr. Xi was silent for a moment, and praised: "It's rare for you to have such a thought, don't worry, this old man is very willing to do it."

"Thank you sir!" Pei Yue stood up and saluted.

After Deng Zai and others arrived, Pei Yue told the story, and the teenagers were all excited.

With a wave of Pei Yue's hand, several banknotes were thrown out. Deng Zai and Qi Min led a dozen or so households, and drove a donkey cart to the capital to buy weapons and shields.Daliang only forbids civilians to own armored crossbows, and the control on other weapons is not strict, not to mention that Pei Yue is also considered a noble son, so the trip went very smoothly.

Following the order of the more and more prestigious Pei Yue, in this village away from the hustle and bustle, every day, under the guidance of young people, the farmers can be seen practicing the technique of combining weapons and formations. From unfamiliarity to proficiency, they The temperament is changing inadvertently.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Pei Yue was a little puzzled but a little relieved that the bandit never showed up.

If they don't come all the time, Pei Yue doesn't mind, after all, this is his village, not a military camp, and right now he is not a general who needs to use the blood of the enemy to stain his official career.
