Chapter 60 Queen Mother Xiao
On the street, the two walked side by side.
Hearing that Jiang Shouzhong wanted to find a martial arts technique to practice, Li Nanshuang's expression became weird with a bright smile.
“Stew noodles, why don’t you give up.”
Li Nanshuang did not mock, but said helplessly, “Although hard work can make up for weakness, cultivation really values talent.”
She had persuaded the other party before and extinguished his dream of being a hero with a sword.
If you have mediocre qualifications, practicing for a hundred years will be of little use.
Although he trusted his boss very much, Jiang Shouzhong did not intend to tell him the secret of Taoist Hetu. He smiled and said, "I just want to practice and see. It doesn't matter whether I succeed or not."
"The problem is that I don't have any martial arts techniques that are suitable for you."
Li Nanshuang scratched his head in distress, "I have practiced a kind of sword technique since I was a child, and this sword technique can only be used with the tomb knife. I don’t care about anything else. If I had known before I left the sect, I would have picked up a few more martial arts skills from the treasure house.”
The girl thought for a moment, then took off the tomb knife behind her and handed it to Jiang Shouzhong.
"How about you try to see if you can lift it? If you can, I'll teach you the art of the Tomb Sword."
Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Shouzhong's forehead.
What a joke.
Can I lift this knife?
At first, he and Lu Renjia tried the knife out of curiosity, but except for Zhang Yunwu who barely lifted it up, it was difficult for him and Lu Renjia to move it together.
"Hey, you're just kidding."
Looking at the bitter expression of his subordinate, Li Nanshuang raised the corners of his lips, stood on tiptoes and touched Jiang Shouzhong's head, and said softly, "Since my family is stewed If you want to practice martial arts, I, as your boss, can help you find it. Leave it to me.”
“Thank you, boss.”
Jiang Shouzhong smiled.
Li Nanshuang sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm not familiar with the woman from Yin Yue Tower. She has collected a lot of martial arts treasures, a real treasure house in the world."
Yin Yue Tower?
Jiang Shou suddenly moved.
At this time, Li Nanshuang suddenly said seriously: "Jiang Mo, don't get involved with that person named Ran. Beauty is a curse. The more beautiful a woman is, the more trouble she will cause. What's more, she is already married. Got it.”
“Understood.”
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and nodded.
The girl muttered in confusion: "Looking at her like that, she should be innocent. Could it be that the man she married is a eunuch? Well, it's impossible to be a eunuch. I guess that man can't."
Jiang Shouzhong's face turned dark.
Who can’t do it?
My ex-wife Hong'er and I didn't fall down eight times a night.
Jiang Shouzhong asked the girl for advice on martial arts, and found that the leader, who was very skilled, seemed to have no understanding of practice. He couldn't even explain why he opened an acupuncture point, which made the man speechless.
How did this girl become a master?
Reluctantly, Jiang Shouzhong was going to ask Zhang Yunwu.
When the two parted, Li Nanshuang narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said happily from the bottom of his heart: "Stewed noodles, I am really happy that you can choose me."
Waiting for the man to respond, The girl waved and left.
In the bright and warm sun, the girl with a knife on her back stood on tiptoe with light steps, with a touch of agility and neatness. Her dark hair tied into a high ponytail swayed gently, rhyming with the word "youth".
……
When I arrived at Zhang Yunwu’s house, I found that Lu Renjia was also there.
Besides him, there is another old acquaintance, Lao Liao, the head of the county government.
It turned out that after learning that Zhang Yunwu was injured, the county police chief, Lao Liao, hurried over.
When Zhang Yunwu was working in the county government, he was taken care of by Lao Liao, and the relationship between the two was very good. After Zhang Yunwu was transferred to Six Doors, the two of them had less contact, but their relationship didn't grow much.
It can be said that Lao Liao is usually willing to help Jiang Shouzhong and others cooperate in investigating cases entirely because of Zhang Yunwu's kindness.
Otherwise, with Li Nanshuang's unsociable attitude towards life, Fenglei Hall would have been withdrawn long ago.
In the evening, Lao Liao was forced to stay for dinner.
He simply went out and bought two jars of wine, and drank and ate with Jiang Shouzhong.
Several of them were old acquaintances, and the atmosphere was naturally much more relaxed.
Lu Renjia poured wine for Lao Liao and said with an attentive smile: "Old Liao, I have been too busy with official duties recently. I wanted to invite you and your brothers to get together at the end of last month, but I postponed it. If we delay any longer, we won’t have much chance. This time, let’s get together first, wait until the case is over, and then invite the brothers from the county government to have a good drink at Chunyu Tower and have fun with some girls..."
Glancing at Wen Zhaodi, Mr. Jia was embarrassed to say the word "open meat".
Especially when there are children present.
Lu Renjia values so-called favors the most.
In his opinion, whether it is a colleague or a friend, the past feelings are all based on the scale. Use a few taels and lose a few taels.
Only by maintaining it on a daily basis can this scale of favor be suppressed.
Old Liao picked up the white porcelain wine glass between his fingers, clinked glasses with Jiang Shouzhong and others, and then said with a smile: "Master A, you're welcome. Let me treat you to this drink this time."
Lu Renjia was stunned and immediately displeased, "Old Liao, you are too outspoken..."
Lao Liao, who has been working in the county government for almost 20 years, has no airs about being a petty official. He smiled and waved his hand, and said helplessly:
"Originally, I really planned to treat you to a drink, but unexpectedly something happened to Xiao Zhang This is a small gathering. To be precise, I’m here to say goodbye to Xiao Zhang.”
Farewell?
The three of them looked at each other.
Zhang Yunwu realized later and asked in confusion: "Old Liao, have you been transferred?"
Liao Captou looked complicated and hesitated to speak.
Jiang Shouzhong seemed to have thought of something and asked softly: "Are you going to the border?"
Lao Liao was surprised this time, "How did you know?"
Jiang Shouzhong put down his glass and said: "We used to drink together, and when we were having a good time, you would always mention your family background, saying that you are a descendant of a general, and that your ancestors had generals. And your father once served as a scout for the Zheng family army in Humen Pass. You I always regret not being able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. This sudden farewell, I guess I will go to the border."
Old Liao nodded and did not hide it anymore, "The transfer order has been issued. I will go in two days. Humen Pass reports, for now, I will go to Qidong Mountain to be a beacon.”
"It's not peaceful over there lately." Lu Renjia frowned.
The current continental dynasty is indeed not at peace.
The main reason is that the mess left by the previous emperor was too bad.
When the late emperor was still alive, the country was plagued by internal and external troubles and wars.
There are Yan Rong invasion in the north, civil strife in Yunhuang in the south, vassal states in the east asking for help, and the Thirteen Kingdoms headed by Loulan in the west acting as monsters. In addition, there are riots in Lizhou in the southwest and the monster clan after the revival of the monster spirit. rise.
There are even ominous prophecies circulating that the two-hundred-year-old continental dynasty has come to an end.
If the current emperor had not worked hard to govern, put down the rebellion and calm the people, gradually restore stability, and inject a ray of vitality into the aging continental dynasty, I am afraid that this country would have declined long ago.
I just want to clean up the mess completely, but there is a long way to go.
Especially now that the Yan Rong in the north are eyeing the enemy and constantly sending troops to invade. Since the Empress Dowager Xiao took control of the power, she has shown her courage to swallow up the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, which is worrying.
This is also the reason why many people place their hopes on Prince Zhou Huan.
At least we can't waste the efforts of our fathers.
Jiang Shouzhong had heard a little about the legendary Queen Mother Xiao of Yanrong.
It is said that the girl's name was Xiao Lingqiu. On their wedding night, a civil strife broke out in the palace, and the drunken Emperor Yanrong was assassinated in the tent.
With the help of his father and several important ministers, the former queen and seven-year-old son Yelv Baoliang was established as the new emperor, while the sixteen-year-old Xiao Lingqiu became the empress dowager.
Afterwards, the newly married empress dowager showed that she was as wise and resourceful as any man.
Relying on her foresight and foresight, as well as her resolute and decisive iron fist, after her father's death, she gradually overthrew the powerful officials after losing her protection, proclaimed herself the "Empress Dowager Chengtian", and assumed the title of ruler. She took charge of national affairs and made independent decisions on all daily government affairs. !
Empress Dowager Xiao went against all opinions and promoted the reform of the Han system, and boldly accommodated the monster clan with a huge mind and formed a beast army.
Fourteen years ago, when the late Emperor Dazhou was still alive, Empress Dowager Xiao personally went into battle in military uniform and led an army of 300,000 people to conquer Dazhou southward.
The army was unstoppable all the way, and it took only three months to attack Minzhou, which was only separated from the capital of Dazhou by a river.
Forcing Dazhou to sign the shameful 'Danyun Peace Treaty' and ceding territory to Kyushu.
The reputation of Empress Dowager Xiao spread far and wide throughout the continent.
Zhuge Xuanji once joked that there are three great Li Pearls in the world: those who get Li Guanshi can achieve immortality, those who get the Silver Moon Tower and River Ripples can seize the world's treasures, and those who get Xiao Tai... can compete for the world.
