The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

"You two, this is called a fan of the authorities." Hong Fu Nu smiled, "Shanglin Sixteenth Courtyard, such a big place, can't let the beautiful women live here casually?"

Li Jing suddenly realized: "That's right! The names and places of origin of the girls selected by the emperor must also be recorded. Brother, you have been to Xiuwen Palace at night, so it must be there!"

Liu Ziqiu couldn't help feeling dizzy for a while.

He had entered the Xiuwen Hall before, but it was quiet inside, and there was no one in sight.There are more than a dozen wing rooms lined up on both sides, full of books, a total of 10,000+ volumes.It's not that Liu Ziqiu doesn't like reading, it's just that he can barely recognize the words in those books without combining the context and scrutinizing them repeatedly.However, Hong Fu Nu's method seems to be the most reliable, so I have to learn how to read and write in these ten days.

"That's good! I'll go there again in ten days." Liu Ziqiu nodded, but then said, "Sister-in-law, go to the street tomorrow to buy some pig urine bubbles for my little brother, and bring back a piece of leather."

Li Jing asked curiously, "My dear brother, why do you want this?"

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Little brother will show elder brother and sister-in-law something good."

In the next few days, Liu Ziqiu didn't think about breaking into the palace any more. He studied Chinese and English during the day, and talked about military arts with Li Jing at night. His days gradually became calm.

In fact, traditional characters are not as difficult to learn as Liu Ziqiu imagined.In this era, regular script was the main script, and simplified characters also evolved from traditional characters. Liu Ziqiu quickly mastered it.But it is still difficult to write, large and small, crooked, a bit horrible.

However, in terms of martial arts, Liu Ziqiu has gained a lot.Li Jing is not only good at the art of war and strategy, but also has a long spear that makes him superb.Liu Ziqiu is proficient in boxing and has a few unique skills, but he has little knowledge of ancient cold weapons, so he just took advantage of this opportunity to make up for it.In addition to marksmanship, Liu Ziqiu also learned swordsmanship, bow and arrow from Li Jing.Of course, Li Jing also gained something. He was very interested in Liu Ziqiu's military boxing and catching the enemy boxing.

The only thing Liu Ziqiu regrets is that the Li family is not rich enough to raise horses, so he lost the opportunity to learn horse riding skills.In fact, Liu Ziqiu can ride a horse, but riding a horse and fighting on a horse are two completely different things.

On the ninth day, with the help of Hong Fu Nu, Liu Ziqiu's "good thing" was finally completed.He washed the pig urine foam and dried it, and cut the leather into small pieces.The outer shell of the ball changed from two pieces to eight pieces, and the shape became more round, and the hair inside was replaced with inflated pig urine bubbles.

Cuju was a way of governing the country and practicing martial arts at that time, and it was especially popular in the army. Li Jing was also one of the fans.Seeing this new ball, Li Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "My dear brother, isn't the good thing you're talking about just a Cuju, it's nothing special."

Liu Ziqiu handed the ball to Li Jing and said, "Brother, try kicking it."

Li Jing is an expert in the middle, he said "Ok", and tapped his right toe lightly, making a dry land to pick up fish.The ball bounced with a spin and landed on Li Jing's left knee.Li Jing bounced the ball twice and shouted "Get up".The ball flew into the air with a "huh".

Just at this time, a bird flitted across the courtyard.The ball went straight up, passed the bird, and then slowly fell down.Li Jing jumped up, put his shoulders on his back, stopped the ball firmly, and said repeatedly: "It's really a good ball! It's effortless to kick, never kicked so high before!"

But Hong Fu Nu also liked this, grabbed the ball and said, "Let me try."

Her kicking style is different from Li Jing's, with a series of movements of crutching, creeping, kicking, kicking, twisting, turning the world, swallows returning to the nest, slanting flowers, wind swinging lotus, Buddha top beads, all kinds of tricks emerge one after another, the ball seems to stick to her body , always disappearing, coupled with a graceful figure, it is really beautiful.

"Pharmacist, brother. I thought of a good way to make money." Hong Funu suddenly withdrew her hand and said excitedly, "This ball is extremely light, and it doesn't feel any pain when kicked. If I make more balls, I can sell them in the market." , can definitely earn a good price!"

But Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I think at most it can earn me and my brother some money for drinking."

Hong Fu Nu wondered, "Why is that?"

Liu Ziqiu took the ball and said, "This ball was sewn by my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law should know that as long as others buy one and take it apart, they will know the secrets of it, and they can make it themselves. Who would buy it from you?" of?."

Hong Fu Nu thought for a while, and felt annoyed: "Brother's words are indeed true."

Liu Ziqiu chuckled, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be discouraged. If one day, brother becomes a great weapon, he will definitely issue an order to the world. Anyone who wants to imitate sister-in-law's ball must pay sister-in-law a penny!"

Hong Fu Nu also laughed, and said: "Brother, your method is novel, and it's almost unheard of. If it's true, sister-in-law, I don't want to be mad. You came up with this method of making balls. When the time comes, Sister-in-law will give you half!"

But Li Jing waved his hand and said: "Chuchen, my brother has the ambition to rise to the top of the clouds, why would you care about your petty gains?"

"Hehe, big brother, don't underestimate this penny. Think about it, how many balls are there in the world?" Liu Ziqiu suddenly changed the subject, and said, "But, big brother is right. As long as one lives, the grass and trees will fall. The younger brother really wants to Doing a vigorous career is not worth living in vain!"

The deeper the association with Liu Ziqiu, the more Li Jing felt that there were many unsolvable mysteries about him, so he couldn't help but asked, "What are your future plans, my virtuous brother?"

"Little brother hasn't made up his mind yet. When he has a goal in the future, he must be the first to tell elder brother." Liu Ziqiu knew that it was not the time yet, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother, do you know where Mr. Changsun Sheng lives?"

Li Jing was surprised and said: "I just heard that Master Changsun was promoted to General You Xiaowei, what does my brother want him to do? Could it be that you want to join the army through him?"

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "That's not true. When I came to Luoyang, my younger brother was in the same boat with his two sons and daughters, and he once promised to give them a ball. If you don't trust me, you will never stand. I plan to go there tomorrow. "

According to the news brought back by Li Jing, the defense of the Imperial Palace and Shanglin Garden these days is as usual, which means that the little princess did not reveal the secret.Tomorrow is the tenth day, and it is the end of the month, just in time to visit the Forbidden Palace again.Liu Ziqiu also understands that every time he enters the palace, it is a test of life and death. If someone finds out, even if he can escape, he will inevitably have the fate of fleeing.Before that, he wanted to fulfill his promise to Guanyin's maidservant, and at the same time, he could further shorten the relationship with Changsun Wuji.

Since he got drunk and caught fire, no one has traced Liu Ziqiu's whereabouts anymore, and he can appear on the streets of Luoyang openly.

Changsun Sheng is an important minister who has won the trust of Yang Guang. His residence is on Xuanwu Street in the North District of Luoyang, a typical noble courtyard.The vermilion lacquer gate was closed tightly, in front of the gate was a pair of stone lions, and four sturdy servants lined up on both sides.

Before Liu Ziqiu could walk up the steps, a servant stepped forward to meet him. He put his hand on the hilt of his knife, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The important place of the general's mansion, trespassing is not allowed! You people, please go away quickly!"

Liu Ziqiu arched his hands, and said: "I'm Liu Ziqiu, I'm here to visit Mr. and Miss Wuji of your family, and I hope to inform you!"

He specially changed into a new suit today.Although the new clothes were sewed by Hong Fu girl's skillful hands, they are very decent, but they are still common clothes after all.

Changsun Sheng and his son usually come and go with wealthy and powerful families, how could the servant put Liu Ziqiu in his eyes, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Go and go, my son and miss can be seen by anyone?"

Liu Ziqiu knew that these dogs looked down on people, so he didn't bother to argue with him, so he sneered and walked around.He never knew how to follow the rules, since the main entrance was not allowed, he would go through the side entrance.No matter how high the walls of the Changsun Mansion were, they couldn't stop him.

All the dignitaries live here, there are not many idlers around, and the lanes are extremely quiet.Liu Ziqiu saw that there was no one around, so he jumped onto the wall.Inside the wall is a garden with flourishing flowers and trees, a rockery pond and nine winding corridors. It is very quiet, and there is also the faint sound of a woman laughing.Liu Ziqiu followed the sound to find it, but there were two maidservants fighting there.

The official family has a lot of doors, if they run around like a headless chicken, they may not be able to find Changsun Wuji and Guanyin's maid at night.Liu Ziqiu didn't even think about it, so he jumped out, cupped his hands and said: "You two girls, can I take you to meet your young lady?"

This is not the palace, and he has no malicious intentions, so he is not worried about showing his whereabouts.

The two maidservants didn't know what they were talking about, and when they were talking happily, they suddenly saw a big man appearing in front of them, and their faces turned pale with fright.One of them was trembling, but the other was about to scream. Liu Ziqiu's palm slashed her neck and fell limply.

Liu Ziqiu's face sank, and he shouted at another maidservant: "Take me to see your young lady quickly!"

The maid pointed tremblingly at the gazebo by the pond, and said tremblingly, "Little Miss, over there."

Liu Ziqiu left her and went straight to the gazebo, but saw a ball rolling in front of him.

He stretched out his foot and lightly stepped on the ball, and then he heard a girl shout in surprise: "Hey, it's a big brother, why are you here?"

"I've brought you a ball." Liu Ziqiu took a closer look and saw that it was Guanyin's maidservant. He couldn't help laughing, threw the new-style ball behind him, and said, "Look, brother didn't break his promise."

"Sister, are you okay!" A young man hurried over, saw Liu Ziqiu was startled, and immediately said happily, "Brother, it's you! I thought some villain had sneaked into the mansion."

"I didn't sneak in, but I came in over the wall!" Liu Ziqiu laughed, "The things promised to Guanyin's servant have been delivered, and I should go too."

"Big brother, let me tell you something. My father wrote back and said that the name of eldest grandson Wugou is very good, and I will be called Wugou from now on."

"Our brothers and sisters are about to thank you for saving us twice, so why should you leave in such a hurry?"

The two brothers and sisters spoke almost at the same time, Liu Ziqiu didn't know which one to answer first, so he heard someone in the garden yell loudly: "Wuji, Guanyin servant girl, all cats and dogs are attracted to the house! Even calling a commoner brother brother, I am not afraid of humiliating the family!" "
