Soldiers come to the world

After breaking up with Zhao Yun, the sky was getting dark, and Liu Jing went to the new office of the Tourist Payment Office. After finishing some trivial matters, he returned home. Halfway, Liu Hu, who had been worried all the time, finally said, "Brother Jing, How did you practice Fengleibian, can you teach me?"

Liu Jing smiled, turned to him and asked, "Have you started practicing yet?"

"I have watched it countless times, and I have memorized those moves by heart."

"Looking at the moves is not the same as practicing martial arts. Although Fengleibian only has one move, it contains a lot of martial arts principles. This depends on your own understanding. I can't teach you. If it doesn't work for three months, it's half a year. If it doesn't work for half a year, it's a year, or In two years, with your natural supernatural power, as long as you understand this trick thoroughly and come up with new ideas, you will be no match for Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun, and you will become a famous general in Jingzhou."

Liu Hu's eyes lit up. The famous general of Jingzhou is an honor that he never dreamed of. He said anxiously, "Then how should I practice?"

"Shut yourself in a dark room, don't light a lamp, experience each style with your heart, don't practice too much every day, just practice for two hours, as time goes on, you will gain something."

Liu Hu bit his lip and nodded heavily, "I see, I'll start tonight."

Liu Jing patted his generous shoulder again, and said with a slight smile, "As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, there is nothing impossible in this world."

Before they knew it, the two went back to the small house. The meal had already been prepared. Liu Jing and Liu Hu sat down and saw a woman in her thirties bringing food into the room. She bowed to them humbly. Jing was taken aback, who is this?

But Liu Hu knew her, and asked with a smile, "Ms. Bao, why are you here?"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said, "Master Qi asked me to come and cook."

Uncle Meng explained from the side: "Young master, this is Xiao Baozi's mother, the cook of the Liu family. The eldest son said that Mr. Hu is also here, and Xiao Baozi can't do it alone, so he asked Xiao Baozi's mother to cook. Madame has no objection."

He took a mouthful of Xiaobaozi, even Liu Jing was a little embarrassed, this was his name, he could call it Xiaobaozi, but for an old man like Uncle Meng, he was also called Xiaobaozi, which was a bit ridiculous.

But Liu Jing didn't correct it. There were no buns in this era, so it didn't matter. He glanced at the woman, and it turned out that she was Xiao Baozi's mother. Liu Jing couldn't help but secretly thank Liu Qi for his thoughtfulness.

Xiao Baozi's father died of illness last year, and he and his mother depended on each other for life. They sent her here to relieve her worries. Liu Jing likes Xiao Baozi, a little maid, she is smart, well-behaved, and considerate.

After dinner, Liu Hu sneaked into an empty room to practice his sword, while Liu Jing went back to his room, where there seemed to be a few more pieces of high-quality furniture.

What surprised Liu Jing the most was that beside his desk was a floor-standing bronze lamp featuring two dragons playing with pearls. It was about three feet high and exquisitely crafted. It is a pearl, and you can tell it is a precious thing at a glance.

Liu Jing was stunned, would Mrs. Cai give such a precious bronze lamp to herself?

"Son!"

Xiao Baozi ran in like a bird and smiled, "This is from Mr. Tao in the afternoon, as well as the furniture, kitchen utensils and tableware in the kitchen, and there are many things that are too late to take apart, all of which are of the highest quality." .”

"Tao Zhan?"

Liu Jing thought of the middle-aged man, Xiao Baozi smiled and said, "It's him, he delivered it himself, and he also explained about the meal tomorrow, so don't forget it, young master."

Liu Jing nodded. This Tao Zhan is very careful. He even thought of kitchen utensils and tableware. He is comparable to women, but he should thank him tomorrow.

"My lord, please drink some tea, I just made it."

Little Baozi put a cup of fragrant tea on the table obediently, and Liu Jing sat down. Since he was busy last night, he has not stopped. After sitting down, he was deeply exhausted and made him feel tired. Almost fell asleep.

Liu Jing picked up the cup, and a strong smell of ginseng rushed towards him, "Little Baozi, did you use ginseng?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

"I saw that the Tao family sent a lot of ginseng, so I fried half of it for you."

The little bun twisted his fingers, and there was a little worry in his big blinking eyes, "Is it going to be used for gunpowder? I shouldn't make tea."

“Sencha is okay too!”

Liu Jing took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: "Little Baozi, last time Uncle Meng said you know how to shoot?"

"En!" Xiao Baozi nodded heavily, "I work in Fuzhong Pharmacy, and I have been making medicine with Uncle Ma for two years. Madam's medicine is the pills made by me."

Liu Jing remembered telling Liu Qi last time that he was learning how to make pills in Qingzhuguan, so Liu Qi picked a maid from the pharmacy for him, which was a coincidence.

Liu Jing thought about it, although Yu Zhenzi finally agreed, there is no need to keep any formula secret.However, Liu Jing still doesn't want the prescription to be leaked to outsiders at will, Xiao Baozi is fine, she will be her personal maid in the future, it is most suitable for her to be the gunpowder, and this kind of medicine is only suitable for herself, there is nothing wrong with leaking it Meaning, don't think too much about it.

Before Liu Jing could say anything, Xiao Baozi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Do you want me to be ammunition later?"

"Liu Jing laughed, "You little head of ghosts and elves, you can think very quickly, okay!Let's talk about gunpowder in a few days. "

At this time, Uncle Meng hurried over and said nervously: "My lord, Junshi Cai is here, right at the door."

If Tao Zhan's gift of furniture only surprised Liu Jing, then Cai Mao's visit surprised Liu Jing secretly. He never thought that Cai Mao would come, but at this time Liu Jing didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered Xiao Baozi, "Go make two more cups of tea!"

He immediately got up and walked to the gate of the courtyard. At the gate of the small courtyard, more than a dozen followers surrounded Cai Mao, but he did not enter the courtyard.

Cai Mao was looking at the small house in front of him with squinted eyes. It is said that this small house was given by Kuai Yue, but it was a bit too shabby. How was it different from the ordinary houses that can be seen everywhere in the city? bought?

The sound of footsteps came, and Liu Jing's burly figure appeared at the door. He bowed and saluted and said with a smile: "I don't know if Military Master Cai is coming, I'm not far away to welcome you!"

According to official rules, when Liu Jing saw Cai Mao, he should kneel and salute, but Liu Jing just made a long bow. He was not used to this kind of kneeling salute, and he didn't perform this kind of etiquette to anyone except Liu Biao, who was an elder.

Seeing that he was only bowing to himself, Cai Mao felt slightly displeased, but he didn't show it on his face, he still smiled and said: "I came in a hurry and disturbed Mr. Jing to rest."

"Mr. Cai, please come in!" Liu Jing put on a gesture of invitation.

Cai Mao nodded, turned back and told his followers, "You all wait outside."

Liu Jing was not polite either, and directly invited Cai Mao into the living room. The living room was still tidied up, and two single sitting tables were set up. There were thick blankets on the couch, because it was winter, it would be a little warmer to spread the blankets. There is also a brazier on each of the sitting platforms, which is extraordinarily warm.

Cai Mao sat down, looked around the room and said with a smile: "This house is too old and a bit damp. I also have a house in Fancheng, which is much bigger than this one. There are gardens and woods in the house, and dozens of servants. Anyway, it's empty, Mr. Jing, why don't you move in tomorrow?"

Liu Jing was still thinking secretly, what is Cai Mao doing here, is he threatening himself?Because of Zhang Yun's incident, he knew that Cai and Zhang were very close because they had a common enemy, the Kuai family, and they almost formed an alliance. Zhang Yun's relegation today naturally hurt Cai Mao's interests. Cai Mao would not Have a good look at yourself.

But when Cai Mao opened his mouth, he wanted to please himself, and there was a good house for him to live in, which made Liu Jing a little wary, what did Cai Mao want to do?

"Thank you Junshi Cai for your kindness. It's just that I don't care much about where I live. I'm very satisfied with this small house."

Liu Jing implicitly rejected Cai Mao's arrangement, and Cai Mao laughed dryly, "The young master's request is indeed not high."

Cai Mao's proposal to change houses was just a test, and Liu Jing's refusal to agree was also expected. At this time, Xiao Baozi came in with two cups of tea, put them on the table of the two, and then retreated.

"Master Jing, is this your maid?" Cai Mao glanced at Xiao Baozi.

"This is my uncle's maid, and my uncle arranged for her to take care of my daily life."

Liu Jing's mind was tense, he was very vigilant, Cai Mao's eyes might bring death to Xiao Baozi, he couldn't be careless, he couldn't give Cai Mao any chance.

It's not that Cai Hao wanted to make a maidservant's idea, he just had another idea when he asked this way, maybe it could make Liu Jing consider starting a family, and he has a niece, which is also suitable for him.

But let's not mention this matter first, Cai Mao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing swept Zhang Yun's face today, everyone in Jingzhou clapped their hands and applauded, hey! Even I breathed a sigh of relief."

"It's not like everyone is applauding! Many of Zhang Yun's allies should hate me, Liu Jing." Liu Jing glanced at Cai Mao with a half-smile and asked.

Of course Cai Hao understood that Liu Jing was alluding to himself, he scolded angrily in his heart, and could only forcefully laugh: "Of course some people will hate it, but I am very grateful to you, my lord. No one will dare to use trilogy without authorization anymore, Jingzhou's military discipline is strict, and as a military adviser, I am of course relieved that a chronic illness in Jingzhou that has been incurable for a long time has been solved by Mr. Jing."

"Military Master Cai thinks too highly of me. How can Liu Jing take the credit for cleaning up the military discipline? The military master should be grateful to Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing's ignorance made Cai Mao a little embarrassed, he couldn't find anything to say for a moment, the room fell silent, and the two drank tea without opening their mouths, which made the atmosphere in the room heavy.

In fact, Cai Hao did not intend to win over Liu Jing, because Liu Jing is only Liu Biao's nephew, not Liu Biao's son. No matter how capable he is, he cannot replace Qi and Cong as the lords of Jingzhou. Put effort and capital on Liu Cong.

But if he didn't come, he couldn't explain to the second uncle. The second uncle seemed to value Liu Jing very much, so he had to put on a show and talk to Liu Jing.

Just like this, Cai Mao didn't have any sincerity in his heart. If Liu Jing was willing to be wooed by him, it would be a windfall, but if he couldn't pull him away, there would be no pity, and he could also explain to his second uncle.

Cai Mao smiled, and the topic turned to Liu Jing's major life events, "Actually, I came here today to tell you about Shaoyu. She will only turn 15 years old today. According to the rules of the Cai family, women Seventeen parties are married, so I also communicated with Zhou Mu, and waited for Shaoyu to be two years older before I could arrange the marriage for her. Two years."

Cai Mao's tone was very sincere, and Liu Jing also heard about the postponement of his and Cai Shaoyu's marriage. This was obviously not Liu Biao's wish. It should be that the Cai family objected to marrying their daughter to him. This objection was especially expressed by Madam Cai. obvious.

The intention of Cai Mao's visit today is also obvious, he wants to win Liu Jing over, but what about sincerity?A house that is a bit bigger than here, and it was only lent to him temporarily.

On the core issue of Cai Shaoyu, he is still tough, and has no intention of making any concessions. This is Cai Mao's so-called sincerity.

Perhaps in Cai Mao's view, he condescended to come to the door to give himself a great face, and he should kneel down to thank him for his visit. Liu Jing couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Who does this Cai Mao think of himself?

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled lightly, "Actually, I plan to think about starting a family after I have some achievements. This is also my father's last words to me before he died. He ordered a man to put his career first. I will always keep it in mind. If It's just what I want to delay the marriage."

"Hehe! My nephew is indeed ambitious. If I have the opportunity, I would recommend it to your uncle as a supervisor of the Tourist Office. I feel a little wronged for you."

With hypocritical dry laughs, Cai Mao then asked, "Then I wonder when my nephew is going to consider getting married?"

Liu Jing's sneer was almost on his face. On the one hand, he had to postpone the marriage for two years, and on the other hand, he asked himself when he would consider getting married, and then pushed the responsibility to himself. It was so despicable.

Liu Jing didn't answer him directly, but asked instead: "Didn't Master Cai just say that he would reconsider his daughter's marriage in two years, don't you think it's too early to talk about it now?"

"I mean, if my nephew plans to get married within this year, I have a niece who is beautiful, dignified, intelligent and virtuous, and I don't know my nephew..."

Liu Jing didn't speak for a long time, and only then did he understand Cai Mao's intention, that he wanted to use Li to replace Tao to make him stiff, who did he think Liu Jing was?

With Cai Mao's identity and sophistication, he would know that this is a great humiliation to people, but he still does it, which only shows that he has extreme contempt for himself in his bones.

Liu Jing's heart was burning with raging anger. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm just a small official who has not entered the ranks, and my status is low. How can I be worthy of the noble daughter of the Cai family, Liu Jing?" With self-knowledge, I appreciate Junshi Cai's kindness."

The last little bit of patience in Cai Mao's heart was finally tossed away by Liu Jing's lack of cooperation. He snorted heavily in his heart, and condescended to visit him. It doesn't matter if you don't win over!

Cai Mao didn't want to continue talking about his niece, he hated Liu Jing so much in his heart, his face quickly became clouded, and his voice became severe, "You mean, you don't plan to marry the daughter of the Cai family, do you! "

Liu Jing no longer perfunctory him, since he wanted to tear his face, he simply made it clear.

"If Junshi Cai thinks it is, then so be it!"

"Good! Have fun."

Cai Mao no longer had any politeness, stood up and said coldly: "I understand your intentions, starting today, my daughter of the Cai family has nothing to do with you, so I bid farewell!"

He rushed out angrily, walked out of the courtyard in a few steps, and waved, "Let's go!"

Liu Jing also walked to the gate, watched the group of people go away coldly, and then he snorted disdainfully, "Postposing!"

He saw through Cai Mao's hypocrisy and illusion.
