Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 20 Seamless Connection 【Tickets】

In the south of the city, Shanyanghou Mansion.

At noon, the sky was cloudy, but it didn't affect Zhang Dangju's good mood at all.

He was sitting upright behind the low seat of the head of the front hall in the mansion, with a smile on his face.

Since he was dismissed from office, he has never been so happy. If he can help Confucianism overwhelm military strategists and become the most prominent school in the world.

He, Zhang Dangju, is not only likely to come back, but even has the chance to be famous forever and be passed down through the ages.

The emperor and Wei Qing focused on cultivating Huo Qubing, the main reason was that Huo Qubing showed the potential to become a famous general.

This is his judgment after communicating with Princess Pingyang.

If someone can be found to show a talent comparable to him in front of the emperor, he will naturally share Bo Huo Qubing's favor, weaken his importance in the emperor's heart, and then gradually infiltrate, affecting the battle between soldiers and Confucians.

Zhang Dangju almost immediately thought of his eldest grandson, Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"My elder, Sun Xiaoyuan, is familiar with civil and military strategy, and has been taught by many respected teachers since he was a child. In the younger generation, I have never seen anyone who can compare to Xiaoyuan."

Zhang Dangju did not avoid his relatives when he was a virtuous man.

He has always been like this, and he was dismissed because he let others do his own thing.

At this moment, Zhang Dangju called Zhang Xiaoyuan to him, preparing for the school examination.

He also invited Taichang, the new head of the Nine Ministers after he was dismissed from office - Shenghou Zhouping.

Zhou Ping was nearly fifty years old, short and stocky, dressed in official robes, with a crown on his hair, bright eyes, and looked very energetic.He knelt behind another low seat next to Zhang Dangju, with a calm face, staring at Zhang Xiaoyuan who was not far away.

"To trouble Officer Zhou to come here today, I have something to ask."

Zhang Dangju called him an official and used a respectful name, which is a kind of self-effacing.

Zhou Ping smiled and returned the gift to Zhang Dangju.

After a little politeness, the two turned their gazes to Zhang Xiaoyuan, who was seated in the lower seat, with a high neck like a fighting cock and a straight back.

Zhang Xiaoyuan is 23 years old, he is indeed a good-looking talent, with fair skin, imposing figure, and excellent appearance.

He himself is quite talented and famous, and he is familiar with classics and history.

The practice of Confucianism does not need to penetrate all the first nine realms like the military strategists, and then you can have supernatural powers.

Zhang Xiaoyuan just passed the most important stage of Confucianism a few months ago. He can write all kinds of classic articles with his pen, and use the power of heaven and earth for his own use. His spirit is full of energy!
He had heard Zhang Dangju say that if his family was to be elected, the best thing would be to go to the emperor's side, and he was overjoyed.

Years of hard study, isn't it for this moment?

Huo Qubing was young, and his status was so prominent that he surpassed all his peers, simply because he was able to accompany the emperor and was always by the emperor's side.

Can have the same opportunity as Huo Qubing, Zhang Xiaoyuan's joy can be imagined, and he said with emotion:

"Grandson has long wanted to compete with Nahuo Qubing, and he will definitely live up to the expectations of his father and Taichang."

After a pause, he said proudly: "Let's not talk about my knowledge of Confucian classics, writing books and biography. Just talking about military strategy, grandson is also conceited that he is not inferior to others. I have been familiar with military books since childhood, and all kinds of battle strategies Skilled in application, don't you know that Wu Qi, the soldier sage, also came from a Confucian background."

Too often Zhou Ping and Zhang Dangju looked at each other, young and conceited, it's not a bad thing.

But you have to have the knowledge to match it.

Zhang Dangju made a gesture, meaning to let Zhou Ping take the test at will.

Zhang Xiaoyuan's face was serious: "Whether it is Confucianism or military strategy, please feel free to ask Mr. Taichang."

Zhou Ping was also not polite, and asked and answered casually. Zhang Xiaoyuan really answered the questions fluently, and he was very relaxed.

After a while, Zhou Ping was also quite satisfied, stroked his beard and said: "You should study hard and wait for the right time to see how I arrange it."

Zhang Xiaoyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, and became more imposing, thinking: My chance has finally come.

----

After noon, Secret Investigation Court.

Song Ran followed Huo Qubing, and walked out of the courtyard in small steps: "Where are we going next?"

There was some doubt in her eyes, when Huo Qubing said that he would come to the Secret Investigation Institute, she thought he was looking for her master Ru Bohu, but it wasn't.

Huo Qubing came to look for one of the twelve branches of the two academies under the secret investigation.

Song Ran thought he was trying to build weapons.

But still not.

Huo Qubing talked with Da Gongzao for half an hour, and Song Ran listened to the whole process of the construction conditions proposed by Da Gongzao. He could hear every word clearly, but he didn't quite understand the combination.

What Huo Shizhong wants to build is like a sealed box, it only needs to be the size of a palm, and the quantity needs to be large...

What this thing can be used for, Song Ran has never seen before.

"You have been following me and I asked you to check the activity area of ​​Chunqiu Zongheng Road. Do you have any clues?" Huo Qubing glanced at Song Ran.

He had received Song Ran's dossier before, and after returning home from his uncle Wei Qing that day, he combined his spiritual consciousness with Teng Snake, and vaguely felt that the several sects on the dossier had a vertical and horizontal way of inheritance in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period The suspicion was the greatest, so Song Ran was ordered to investigate thoroughly.

"It has been investigated by people. The Zonghengdao caused turmoil 30 years ago. After it was wiped out, it disappeared and its power was weak.

It is said that there are occasional traces of activity in several counties near the east of the river.Xiao Ying went there in person. "

Song Ran said: "How did Huo Shizhong judge that there is a problem with the Zongheng Dao? I think their personnel are withered and have reached the verge of being unable to continue. Can they do such a big thing as assassinating Liu Huai in Chang'an?"

When she spoke, Huo Qubing was stepping into the car.

The position protruding from the front of the car shaft was almost as high as an ordinary person's chest. Huo Qubing took a step forward and climbed up the car shaft with extremely coordinated movements, as if he had stepped over an ordinary step, giving people the impression of flowing water.

"The secret scroll given to me by Master Ni said that my apprentice is not very smart, so let me take care of it..."

Huo Qubing's voice came from the carriage.

He said it casually, disliked Song Ran for not thinking on his own, there were too many problems.

But Song Ran just received all the inferior evaluations from Ru Bohu, and he was so seamlessly connected with Huo Qubing's words, he immediately believed it, and his face turned red.

It's too embarrassing for the master to call himself stupid in front of outsiders like Huo Qubing... Song Ran almost burst into tears.

Is it stupid to ask more?

Master said so, Huo Qubing also said so...

Song Ran was extremely depressed, staring at the curtain of the car.

Another voice came from the carriage: "I have something to ask you, do you know who in the city is most proficient in alchemy alchemy?"

"I'm stupid, I don't know."

Song Ran snorted softly, but took a breather, and responded: "There are two people, one is the Da Nong Ling, one of the nine ministers.

He came from a farming family, and his master once said that he practiced so profoundly that he could be called a master of alchemy in the world. "

"It's not appropriate for a big farmer to keep things busy."

Huo Qubing: "Who is the other one?"

"The lineage of Li Er, the ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Period, has been passed down through the world." Song Ran said.

"Li Er, Lao Tzu."

Huo Qubing said unexpectedly: "The inheritance left by the Taoist ancestor, the disciple is in Chang'an, who is it?"

Song Ran responded with a bit of sarcasm: "Since Huo Shizhong is so smart, and he is always by His Majesty's side, he doesn't know about the rumors among the royal family?"

He continued: "Your Majesty's youngest sister, Liu Qing, was born with a vision from the sky, with purple air reflected in the sky, and was taken away by the Taoist sect.

There is only Daodezong, otherwise no one would be able to take away a princess from my great Han royal family, who had been away for twenty years and only returned a few years ago. "

Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that the Taoist sect might have seen the stability of the Han Dynasty and used some means to lay the foundation for Taoism.

Since ancient times, Taoism must have the support of the imperial power in order to develop greatly. This is another form of dragon-supporting art.

Behind many things, there is always an inseparable relationship with interests.

But now Liu Qing is a good candidate.

"Okay, you go, find out the traces of the vertical and horizontal road as soon as possible, they must have a problem."

The carriage carried Huo Qubing, and the hoofbeats knocked on the ground, and soon he was far away.

Song Ran pouted, returned to the secret investigation outer courtyard, and ordered to intensify the investigation of the activity area and hiding place of the vertical and horizontal road.

She really wanted to go to the master to settle accounts, but felt that she was too presumptuous to go, so she sulked alone.

Huo Qubing left from the Secret Investigation Institute and went directly to Da Heye Liu Qing to talk about the matter, the content was mysterious and mysterious, the same purpose as he went to the Secret Investigation Institute to find Da Gongzao, to prepare for the future confrontation with the Huns.

If it is a few days, it will pass in a blink of an eye.

This afternoon, Huo Qubing came out from the mansion accompanied by Yao Zhaoban, ready to go to the guard barracks outside the city.

When the two walked to the door, Song Ran, Yue Rao, and Qu Jun happened to come over hand in hand, ready to report the progress of the investigation: "Huo Shizhong, things have made new progress."

"Come together, let's talk on the road." Huo Qubing said.

"Son."

Everyone was about to board the car when a voice came from the Huo Mansion.

The eldest maid, Xiong San, followed quickly and glanced at everyone: "Young master, is he going to fight? I also want to go to activities with me, and I haven't gone out for several months."

"En." Huo Qubing responded, and boarded the carriage first.

Qu Jun, Yue Rao, and Song Ran looked at each other, fighting, what kind of battle?

Why is there still a war?
