Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 306 Children from poor families, generals and soldiers have different hearts.

Wang Ling drew his sword, and Li Jing raised his gun.

The two cast their weapons almost simultaneously.

Innate warriors are powerful not only because of their innate qi, but also because they are much stronger than ordinary people in terms of physical fitness and senses.

Wang Ling is an innate mid-term swordsman, with strong perception and sixth sense.The moment Li Jing raised his gun, Wang Ling knew that he had met a formidable enemy.

Wang Ling was expressionless.But his heart was extremely shocked.

The last time Li Jing was able to escape from his sword, it was a fluke, and it was due to various reasons such as the right time, place and people.

How long has it been?Li Jing's cultivation was actually able to compete with innate mid-stage warriors.Such progress is really frightening.

Weapons, extensions of limbs.

A gun is a long weapon.Long weapons naturally have advantages.

As the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong.

In Li Jing's hands, the spear was full of spirituality, as if it had come to life, like a dragon.

Li Jing's long spear is forged from fine steel, not that kind of white wax rod.

The wooden gun barrel couldn't bear Li Jing's enormous force.

Bang.

Knife and spear meet for the first time.

Both Wang Ling and Li Jing were shocked, and both felt the great strength of the other side.

Wang Ling thought in his heart that Li Jing's strength was comparable to his own, and he might not be able to take advantage of a head-to-head confrontation, so he used his dexterous kung fu to attack.

Immediately, Wang Ling's attack style changed, and his body and sword skills became weird.

Wang Ling and Li Jing are not the same kind of people.

Wang Ling is a son of an aristocrat, he only has the interests of the family in his heart, not the court and the people.As long as there is interest, Wang Ling can cooperate with anyone, even if it is humiliation and humiliation.

The gentry, who know how to hide, parasitize on the court and the people, constantly absorbing nutrients to strengthen themselves.

The gentry are like vines, the dynasty and the people are like the trunk of a big tree, and the vines are attached to the big tree.One day, the big tree dies, and the vines will look for another big tree.

A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year family.

This is the way of life of the family.

Wang Ling avoids the truth, and if he encounters a powerful attack, he will dodge it. When Li Jing has a weak point, he will take the opportunity to attack.

Li Jing practiced Bajiquan, and Liuhe spear skills were all influenced by Bajiquan.His boxing skills are fierce, and his spear skills are even more fierce.

That kind of indomitable, consistent momentum is frightening.

Soldiers are the guardians of quelling civil strife, conquering foreign enemies, and defending the country.

Soldiers are not afraid of death, but of losing.

Li Jing is a natural general. Now that he is a general, he is in the barracks, so he naturally has an aura of iron and blood.

At this moment, Li Jing has only one belief in his heart, that is, he cannot lose.

His firm belief made Li Jing's spear skills even more fierce.

Muscles, muscles, qi and blood provided Li Jing with great strength.The long spear stabbed straight, and the head of the spear pierced the void, making a sharp sound.

Wang Ling thought it was not good.

This shot came so fast that he couldn't dodge it in time.

"Innate Saber Qi!"

Wang Ling snorted secretly, held the knife in both hands, and slashed with it.

boom!
The blade struck the tip of the spear.

The sword energy was dissipated.

Wang Ling and Li Jing took a few steps back at the same time.

Every step back, the stone slabs under their feet were shattered.

With a slight movement of his ears, Wang Ling heard the sound to identify his position.

A large group of people rushed over from outside.The movement of the fighting alarmed the patrolling army.

Wang Ling took a look at Li Jing and said, "Li Jing, you are very good. No wonder Yu Wenhua and his lord insist on arresting you. If I want to arrest you or kill you, I can't do it with Wang Ling's sword skills. But you Don't be too happy. Yu Wenhua and his lord are not the only masters around Wang. What's more, Yu Wenhua and his lord are master-level experts. Next time, you won't be so lucky."

Li Jing sneered and said: "Yu Wenhuaji is too small-minded to tolerate others. Li Jing just told the truth, and he insisted on Li. Now Li is not afraid of Yu Wenhuaji. If you want to kill me, Li Jing, Let Yu Wenhuaji come in person."

Wang Ling said, "Some truths cannot be told."

After speaking, Wang Ling performed lightness kung fu, dexterously climbed over the courtyard wall and disappeared.

A large group of people rushed into the mansion and saw a mess in the yard.

The leading lieutenant clasped his fists and said, "General Li, are you alright?"

Li Jing said: "I'm fine. I was practicing spear skills just now, and I didn't control my strength well, and the movement was a little louder. Everyone should withdraw."

Innate warriors, ordinary soldiers can't catch them.Unless it is on the battlefield, use the army to encircle and suppress, and exhaust the true energy of the innate warriors before they can be killed.

Li Jing didn't intend to tell the soldiers about Wang Linglai killing him, because it was meaningless.

A trace of doubt flashed in the captain's eyes, he nodded and said, "Yes."

The captain led the soldiers out of the mansion, Li Jing's throat was sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Jing wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's a bit of a struggle for me to fight Wang Ling. In terms of strength, I and Wang Ling are on par, but Wang Ling has innate qi, but I don't."

Li Jing suffers because he has no innate energy.

…………

Wang Ling left Li Jing's mansion, turned around a few alleys, and walked down the street as if nothing had happened.Wang Ling grew up in Chang'an City since he was a child, and he is very familiar with every street and alley in the city.

Wang Kui went into the study after dinner, took out rice paper and brushes, and drew Li Jing's boxing moves.Although Wang Kui's is not a master in calligraphy and painting, his paintings are also extremely vivid.

Putting down the brush, Wang Kui glanced at the door and said softly, "Since you're here, come in."

Squeaky.

The study door was pushed open.

The person who came in was Wang Ling.

Close the door.

Wang Ling walked up to Wang Kui and said respectfully, "Wang Ling has seen Uncle Three."

Wang Kui looked at Wang Ling, frowned, and said, "When you fight with someone, your breath is unstable and your breathing is a little messy. Are you injured?"

Wang Ling nodded, and stretched out his hands. The palms of his hands were injured by the force of the gun, and beads of blood continued to ooze out.

Wang Ling said: "Third Uncle's eyes are as bright as a torch. I went to catch Li Jing just now, and I fought with Li Jing. I didn't expect Li Jing's marksmanship to be so fierce and powerful that it could hurt me."

When he saw the boxing moves on the rice paper, Wang Ling was surprised and said, "Third Uncle, I think the boxing moves you drew are very familiar."

Wang Kui said: "This is Li Jing's boxing style. Today, the old man accompanied Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to the barracks school. When he saw that Li Jing was practicing boxing, he paid attention to his boxing techniques. Li Jing's boxing style is fierce and violent, simple and concise, and the meaning is simple. It is very domineering. I don’t know where Li Jing learned such a strong boxing technique. Li Shimin said that Li Jing’s spear technique is still superior to boxing techniques. You and Li Jing got hurt a little bit when you fought with Li Jing. From this point of view, what Li Shimin said is true."

Wang Ling said: "Third Uncle, if my nephew's guess is correct, Li Jing's boxing techniques should have been inherited from Qin Zhiyong. Otherwise, Li Jing would not have become so powerful."

Wang Kui quickly asked: "Qin Zhiyong? Who is he?"

Wang Ling said: "Qin Zhiyong is a blind man who teaches in the countryside of Lantian County. His martial arts level is at least a master. His identity is quite mysterious. I can't even handle Qin Zhiyong's moves."

Wang Kui said: "The old man will arrange for someone to investigate Qin Zhiyong's details. Li Jing is Li Tang's general, so don't kill Li Jing in the future. If Li Jing dies, it will be Li Tang's loss. Our Wang family is supporting Li Yuan."

Li Jing is a talent, and it is beneficial for Li Yuan and the Wang family that he seek refuge with Li Tang.

Fighting for world hegemony, the more talents who come to seek refuge, of course, the more the better.

Wang Ling said: "What the third uncle said is true. But Li Jing was not captured, and it is not easy for my nephew to explain to Yu Wenhuaji when he goes back."

Wang Kui snorted coldly: "Why do you need to explain? If the Sui Dynasty dies, the Yuwen Clan will also die. Our Wang family is still in a dormant state, and it is not appropriate to expose our power. You and Yu Wenhua are just trying to delay time. Li Jing's business , don't worry about it anymore."

Wang Ling nodded and said, "Yes."

Wang Kui gave Wang Ling a 300-year-old ginseng to heal his wounds.

Wang Ling bid farewell to Wang Kui and left Chang'an.

After all, Wang Ling's current identity is Yu Wenhuaji's disciple, a master of the rivers and lakes.He still wants to return to Yu Wenhuaji's side and continue to lurk.

Wang Kui walked to the window, looked up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back, and said to himself, "Qin Zhiyong, no matter who you are, this old man must check out your details. If you hinder Li Tang from striving for hegemony, even if you are a master-level powerhouse, We can take care of you too."

…………

Insufficient manpower and incapacity to separate parts are Qin Zhiyong's current status quo.

It will take another ten or eight years for the students to grow up.Qin Zhiyong could afford to wait, but those people who were suffering from cold and starvation could not afford to wait.

Among Qin Zhiyong's subordinates, Shi Qingxuan is the only person who can do things.Shi Qingxuan was still in the "internship" period, and her work efficiency was not high.

Qin Zhiyong made a decision that the children in the village should ask their teachers to teach them.

And myself, to teach those teachers.

Tan Lin is considered a genius in Lantian County.It's just because he is a child from a poor family, even if he is a bit talented, he can't integrate into the circle of children from aristocratic families.

Although there were imperial examinations in the Sui Dynasty, the system was not perfect.If you want to be an official, with Tan Lin's status, you have no chance at all.

Tan Lin returned home a little dejected after attending the poetry meeting.

Seeing Tan Lin's expression, his wife guessed that he must have not been appreciated by the county magistrate.

The wife said: "Your Majesty, it's fine if you can't be an official. If we do other things, even if it's farming, we can always survive."

Tan Lin shook his head and said, "My lady, I just don't want to be reconciled. It's not that I don't have enough knowledge, it's just because I'm from a poor family. I have aspirations that are difficult to achieve..."

Before they finished speaking, Tan Lin and his wife saw a young man in white clothes with black cloth strips over his eyes standing at the door.

It was Qin Zhiyong who came.

Tan Lin saluted and said, "May I ask if you lost your way, brother?"

Qin Zhiyong smiled and said, "I'm Qin Zhiyong. I'm not lost. I came here to see you."

Tan Lin was puzzled, came to see me specially?But I don't know the blind man in front of me at all.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Tan Lin, a child from a poor family, has extensive knowledge and can memorize "The Analects" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" back and forth. You are filial to your parents and love your wife and daughter. You are kind-hearted. It's just that you only want to be an official. , It's a pity that I can't get the appreciation of the family."

Tan Lin exclaimed: "Are you checking my details? Who are you?"

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "I am Qin Zhiyong, and Qin Zhiyong is me. Tan Lin, let me ask you, do you want to be an official to benefit the people or for your own ambition."

Tan Lin said: "For the common people, but also for myself."

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Okay. It's fine if you say so. Then you should do things for the common people first. If you finish things well, I'll give you a fortune."

Qin Zhiyong pulled Tan Lin's arm, and the two disappeared into afterimages.
