As night fell, Liu Feng walked calmly in front of the slightly coercive military pavilion. When he was about to reach the door, the closed door suddenly opened.
It was still the little boy in green. After seeing him bend down and salute Liu Feng, he made a greeting with his little hands and said, "Master, my master ordered the little boy to wait here." Liu Feng returned the courtesy as humbly as before, " Please ask the boy to lead the way." After saying that, he followed the boy into the military pavilion.
At this moment, the bottom floor of the Soldier Pavilion was silent, with only bright lights burning alone, but Liu Feng could clearly feel that there were many masters hidden here. It seems that big shots always carry a lot of bodyguards with them wherever they go. This has been true since ancient times. Following the child to the second floor, Liu Feng saw that the child was still leading him up. Liu Feng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the meeting was on the legendary third floor?
When we arrived at the stairs above the third floor, there were two young men in green clothes standing there. The little boy went to salute, "Two senior brothers, the young master has already ushered us. I would like to ask the two senior brothers to lead you over to the masters."
"Well, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhuo'er. You can go and take the other young master and young lady to the first floor to rest." The one on the left said while taking the sandbox from Zhang Miao's hand, while the other One of them took the thing from Xiao Yue'er's hand.
He reached up to the stairs and said to Liu Feng, "Master, please". Liu Feng smiled back and walked forward calmly. Zhang Miao behind him was shocked that there was a fourth floor in the Bing Pavilion and wanted to go take a look. However, under the guidance of the child, he could only go downstairs with Xiao Yue'er who looked worried.
After arriving on the fourth floor, Liu Feng looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise. There was a plain and elegant room on the flat floor. The four legs of the room were in a straight line with the corners. There were four dark purple wooden pillars standing in the middle. , this exquisite painting is carved on the wooden pillar, and several lanterns are decorated on the top.
The whole design made Liu Feng feel very unique yet harmonious. He didn¡¯t know who was so talented, so Liu Feng naturally thought of the person who designed the military pavilion¡¯s trading method. The room was obviously brightly lit, and the young man on one side whispered, "Master, please wait a moment."
Then he knocked on the door gently and went in. After a while, he came out and said, "Sir, please, the elders and guardians are already waiting for you." Liu Feng said thank you and walked inside.
The moment he stepped into the door, Liu Feng felt that his calm heart suddenly began to stir again. He quietly took a deep breath. Liu Feng saw that there was a round table inside. Yes, it was the kind of conference table of later generations. what is happening.
But Liu Feng couldn't be in a daze at this time, and quickly recovered his thoughts. He quickly saw that there were nine seats on the left around the table, two of which were empty, and there were twelve seats on the right, four of which were empty. The one above The seat is also vacant. Could it be that not everyone is there?
Liu Feng was a little confused, but he didn't show it on his face. On the right, he saw Liu Qing, who was sitting third at the end, nodding slightly at him.
When he was twenty steps away from the round table, Liu Feng bowed and saluted, "Junior Liu Feng, I have met all the seniors."
After a while, the old man with gray hair and beard who was first on the left responded slowly, "Sir, there is no need to be polite, please sit down." His tone was light, but there was a sense of momentum.
Liu Feng knew that this was his first test, so he bowed and thanked him again, sat on the chair brought by the child on one side, and thanked the child softly.
Seeing Liu Feng's performance, the elder was somewhat appreciative. In fact, when he came in, he was paying attention to this young man. Seeing such a strange table, he didn't lose his composure. Seeing so many core figures of the legendary military strategist, he didn't feel timid at all. He was polite and considerate yet cool. He was truly a handsome young man. But it is still too early to tell whether he can be the successor of the military strategist. Thinking of this, the great elder paused and said, "Zhongyin, do you think this young master has a unicorn?"
"Zhongyin" is Liu Qing's character, and it goes without saying much about its meaning. After hearing the great elder's words, Liu Qing quickly stood up and said, "Back to the great elder, Mr. Liu Feng does have a unicorn, and he has a close relationship with Liu Yin, the inheritor who has been missing for many years."
Liu Qing did not report the relationship between Liu Feng and Liu Yin to them. What he wanted was the shock at the scene. If they were informed in advance, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Liu Yin suddenly caused some commotion in the room. Those present knew who Liu Yin was and what Liu Yin meant to them. Otherwise, how could they not give up searching for him for fifteen years?
After a while, the elder coughed a few times to calm down. Looking at Liu Feng, who was still calm and composed, he said with trembling words, "Master, can you let us take a look at the Qilin Pendant?"
"What's wrong with this? This jade pendant was originally owned by a military strategist, and now it has been returned to its original owner."
If you want to take it, you must give it first. Liu Feng still understands this truth. If this jade pendant is not recognized by the military strategists, it will be of no use even if it is forced to keep it.
?No need to think about it, Liu Feng smiled and took out the jade pendant with his own body temperature from his chest, held it out with both hands, and the boy on his side took it and gave it to him.
It was really the Qilin Pendant, and the room suddenly became quiet. Only the Qilin Pendant was passed around the table, but Liu Feng could see that the hand of the jade pendant was shaking a little with each result.
After the jade pendant returned to the great elder's hands again, the old man's words became much gentler, "To make you laugh, the Qilin Pendant is a military treasure and has been missing with its inheritor Liu Yin for fifteen years. These ten years have passed. For the past five years, we have been searching for Liu Yin's whereabouts all the time. Since the unicorn is in the hands of the young master, he must also know the whereabouts of Liu Yin and ask the young master to come."
With grief, Liu Feng recounted his experiences in the past fifteen years to everyone. Especially when he said with tears that Liu Yin had passed away, only two people sitting there were not shocked.
One is Liu Feng who is crying and complaining, and the other is Liu Qing who has already burst into tears. After everyone present digested the matter, the elder said, "Since the young master is not a member of the military strategist, but he brought back my military strategist's most precious unicorn, and also informed Liu Yin's whereabouts, he will be a guest of my military strategist from now on. If you have any difficulties, just ask."
This is a test given to Liu Feng by the great elder after thinking about the film, just to see how he would deal with it. If he does not have the talent and learning, then he can go back home now.
Liu Qing's face was already a little anxious, but Liu Feng remained unhurried. He stood up and bent down to salute. Liu Qing thought he was saying goodbye and almost shouted out in anxiety, but the next moment Liu Feng's words made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Seniors, I think you all know why this junior is here, so I will get straight to the point and won't go around with you with courtesy." When Liu Feng said this, his tone suddenly became solemn, "This junior is here just for you. In order to fulfill my uncle Liu Yin¡¯s last wish, take over the military strategist and complete what he failed to complete.¡±
Although most of the people present had expected Liu Feng to have this idea, the shock of saying it out was different.
The First Elder seemed to be waiting for words, and nodded quietly to the people around him, with a hint of joking in his words, "Sir, although you brought back the most precious treasure of the military strategist, and you are also Liu Yin's nephew, you are the inheritor of our military strategist. It's not your uncle and nephew who have the final say. Our military strategist is also a big sect that has been passed down through the ages. I think Liu Yin was approved by us when he took over the military strategist."
"Young people know that being the inheritor of a military strategist cannot be done with just one sentence." Liu Feng felt the contempt hidden in the other party's words, but at this time, he no longer needed to pay attention to that.
At this time, he had to earn something. The opportunity was earned by himself. He paused and said, "Senior, please listen to what the junior has to say, and then take a look at the few small things that the junior has carefully prepared. If you still can't convince the seniors, the junior is willing to I will return here and have nothing to do with the military strategists."
It has been many years since I met such a wealthy young man. Looking at the vacant positions around the round table, the Great Elder felt a little sad. Now that the sect is the only one, other sects that have been hidden for many years are also making moves, especially those from fifteen years ago. The rebellion and the disappearance of the inheritors dealt a huge blow to the military strategist's status. Nowadays, although there are some talents among the younger generations of military strategists, they have never been able to satisfy themselves. Thinking of this, the elder discussed with the people around him for a while, and nodded to let Liu Feng continue.
After receiving the approval, Liu Feng saluted and thanked him, and then slowly began to speak out his prepared opinions, "Dear seniors, everyone in the world knows that 'soldiers are the most deadly weapon of the country'. Since ancient times, anything related to the army has been regarded as They think it is dangerous and untouchable, so the image and status of our military strategists in the minds of the people is not very high, far inferior to the academics who enslave them but seek blessings for the people, or even the Taoists who only deceive people. .¡±
"Actually, military strategists have always taken it as their mission to eliminate the displacement of thousands of people and create peace in troubled times. They are truly serving the people and the common people of the world. But why is this?"
Liu Feng paused for a moment and saw the people pondering at the round table reveal the answer, "Because our military strategists are the emperor's weapons in the eyes of the people; what they see is war, chaos and chaos, and the people are displaced; what they see is the flames of war. His blood flowed like a river, and his wife and children were separated from each other heartbroken."
"But those soldiers who risked their lives to protect their homeland and country were naturally ignored, those who were wrapped in horse leather without any regrets were also ignored, and those who defended the country for many years without regrets were also ignored."
"In the final analysis, what the military strategists do is not related to the things that the people are directly concerned about." Liu Feng paused. He knew that what he said was in line with the traditional "man who takes care of the world and does not stick to trivial matters." There are some conflicts in the world's sentiments, but this is not a new way. What are the few military strategists now? If you have worldly prestige, then you will do what you like.
Looking at the slight nods of everyone present, Liu Feng knew that he had taken the right step. He quietly wiped the sweat from his palms, still looking calm and uncertain.
The Great Elder was very shocked at this moment. This young man was as deviant as his uncle, but he was also very persuasive. For so many years, military strategists have been thinking about how to restore their previous status, but they always hold the idea that there will be no success without a war, and they are waiting for the war they have been looking forward to but never came.
The favorability of the young man in my heart has been greatly improved, but I am still curious about what he will do, "I wonder what Young Master has to say about this matter?" The other military strategists present also looked concerned. This is what the military strategist is currently facing. Now that there is a good solution for the biggest dilemma, I will naturally listen carefully.
"I have gained something from my thinking so far. If there is anything wrong, please correct me, seniors." Liu Feng pondered for a moment, "First of all, we have to let the world change their understanding of our military strategists. We can cooperate with the miscellaneous family. I know that the seniors sitting here will They look down upon scholars, especially those who are looked down upon by their own people."
"But have you ever thought about it, seniors, who can make news spread the fastest in the world today? The answer is definitely the Zajia. Nowadays, the disciples of the Zajia are all over the place and are closely related to people's lives. As long as they say it once a day, I believe it will be fine. It¡¯s a matter of disappearing, and people will believe in his existence in a few days.¡±
Seeing their expressions turn from disdain to solemnity, Liu Feng secretly rejoiced, and then said, "Secondly, our military has always had outstanding military talents, but the waves in front of the Yangtze River push back the waves behind. No matter how strong a person is, he will wither. If there is no successor, After thousands of years, people can only become the smoke of the past."
This sentence seemed to speak to the hearts of everyone present. The great elder blurted out slightly excitedly, "Please give me some advice, Master." After saying this, he realized that he had lost his composure. He coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, but later he He felt relieved when he found that no one was paying attention to him. Everyone was staring at Liu Feng at the moment.
"Don't take it seriously if you give me advice." "The younger generation thinks that many children from poor families today have no chance to practice. Military strategists can set up some martial arts halls in various places to recruit some outstanding poor children and solve their life difficulties."
"The people in front of me will all teach basic martial arts and the art of war. When the time comes, we can select people with outstanding performance and visible loyalty to join the military strategists. I think these people will definitely be dedicated to repaying the kindness of the military strategists."
"In this way, we can replenish the talents of the military strategists, improve the reputation of the military strategists among the people, and increase the power of the military strategists in confronting the academic sect. This is killing three birds with one stone, and please consider it, seniors." That's all. Liu Feng stopped again. After all, what he said was a bit irrelevant and he needed time to process it.
The room was very quiet at this moment, and everyone at the round table had serious faces. What Liu Feng said just now is unreasonable, and it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it is really put into practice, the benefits will be quite considerable. The great elder looked at the expressions of other people in the room and was no longer reserved at the moment. "Although what the young master said may conflict with the world's views, it is not unreasonable. I wonder if the young master has any other ideas?"
Doesn¡¯t it make sense? It must be of great use, right? From their expressions, Liu Feng had already guessed it. He smiled secretly but still looked calm, "This junior has another plan, which can be used on the battlefield to achieve miraculous results."
"Oh, please come here, Master." Hearing that it was used on the battlefield made the military strategists even more interested.
"Seniors, if there is a special team composed of people who are good at fighting on the battlefield, they can attack at night, run long distances, lurk, assassinate, and even unknowingly destroy the enemy's defenses, burn the enemy's food and fodder, and break through. The enemy¡¯s commander is not a problem. I wonder what you seniors think?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Liu Feng also guessed their reaction. After all, this was a special forces team from later generations. They were thousands of years ahead of their time when they came here, so the reactions were naturally different.
After the discussion, it was still the Great Elder who said on behalf of everyone, "What you said is really a fantastic idea, but it does set a precedent for military strategists. It will become an indelible record in the history of military strategists in the future. I wonder if you have other clever ideas. no?"
besides? Liu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. He had racked his brains over the past two days to sum up this. This is a combination of thousands of years of wisdom from previous lives. Do you think it's just a cabbage?
But he still replied politely, "Senior, this junior is stupid and can only do these things now. But if senior is interested, you can take a look at some gadgets that junior brought today." After speaking, Liu Feng pointed to the wooden box on the side.
"Young Master, please show me." What Liu Feng said just now makes sense. Now that he is carrying something, it is naturally something extraordinary.
Liu Feng saluted, opened the top small box, and took out the three words he had written overnight.Sixteen Stratagems, "This is written by a junior who has occasional thoughts. Please correct me, seniors." He handed over the book in his hand.
Hearing that this book of war was written by the young man in front of him, the elder suddenly felt a bit funny. After all, the book of war was not another book and could be written casually. However, after he read the two strategies, his expression suddenly became solemn. Concealing the excitement in my heart, I read page after page. This book is comparable to those classics written by military strategists. Is this really written by the young man in front of me?
Although those previous views were shocking, they were far less powerful than they are now. Passing the military book in his hand to the people below, the great elder looked heavy and had an idea in his heart.
After a cup of tea, the circulation was over, and everyone else looked shocked. Liu Feng felt secretly happy, this was the first bomb, and there were more below. He smiled politely and opened the wooden box of the sand table, and took out the models of trees, cities, rivers, flowers and plants.
"What is this?" Looking at their questioning expressions, Liu Feng slowly said, "Seniors, this can be used in battles. The speculated battles between the enemy and ourselves can improve the feasibility of the battle and train the soldiers. The ability to march and form formations.¡±
After pondering for a moment, the young elder couldn't help but nodded and praised, "What the young master said is absolutely right. This thing is indeed a treasure for my military strategist. The young master's talent is really extremely intelligent." However, after a moment's pause, he seemed to be interested. "Master, why don't you and I play against each other to test its effectiveness?"
Test me? That will open your eyes. Liu Feng naturally responded, "Senior, I dare not disobey you." He placed the sand table on the round table. The two decided on their respective types and number of troops, marked out the camp and city, and started Start fighting.
The great elder skillfully set up camp, sent troops to form formations, and sent enemies to harass. Liu Feng, on the other hand, felt that he was responding in a hurry. Within a quarter of an hour of the battle, there were signs of retreat, and he gave up several important positions in succession. The great elder had some regrets in his heart. He was still a young man after all. Although he was talented and intelligent, he was still not good at actual combat. However, there were still opportunities for young people to be cultivated. After thinking for a moment, he heard the young man cupping his hands and saying, "Senior, I accept."
What? The great elder felt that he could not recover. Did he lose? Look at the calm smile of the young man in front of him and the shocked expressions of the people around him. The great elder hurriedly looked towards his camp, only to find that a group of soldiers had crossed the river at some point, tore apart his defenses and destroyed his handsome tent!
Did you lose? Although the Great Elder felt a little frustrated, he was more reminded of the surprising strategy that Liu Feng just mentioned. The great elder looked around and found that everyone was also thinking deeply. They seemed to be thinking about this surprising move. It sounded like a good strategy just now, but when you actually confront the enemy, you find how subtle it is, and the real subtleties of the battlefield are subverted.
" Moreover, this boy was not arrogant when fighting, and he had a deep understanding of the overall situation, which made the great elder happy. Seeing them meditating again, Liu Feng waited aside, because this was what Liu Feng wanted, which was to prove his combat capabilities and let them understand the true meaning of the Qi soldiers on the battlefield.
After everyone woke up, Liu Feng opened the last box in their expectant eyes. "Hey, young master, is this chess?" The great elder asked with some surprise as he looked at the thing in front of him.
"Senior has good eyesight, it is true." Liu Feng replied with a smile, and later explained the purpose to everyone, and asked the elder to find someone to play a game of chess.
After the game ended, as expected, everyone present was petrified again. Finally, the great elder once again brought out the line that he had said several times tonight, "Young Master is really a strange person in the world."
But at this moment, Liu Feng was a little confused. He looked at the people in front of him with nothing but shock and surprise in their eyes. Could it be that he had done so much tonight and still not received their recognition? Liu Feng suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart, but he couldn't express it clearly.
When Liu Feng was about to say goodbye, he saw everyone around the round table standing up and saying in unison, "Bye, inheritor." Especially Liu Qing shouted the loudest, and Liu Feng could see the smile on his face. There are still tears left.
Liu Feng was taken aback for a moment, and this was probably the feeling of mixed joy and sorrow. Looking at Liu Feng who was a little dazed but immediately calmed down and returned the greeting gracefully, the great elder smiled with satisfaction and nodded to the elders and guardians around him.
In fact, they already had the intention to approve Liu Feng when he mentioned those strategies. They were just curious about the wooden box at first, but after seeing it, they were extremely shocked and happy, and their ideas became more and more certain. I became more and more convinced that the person in front of me was exactly what the military strategist was waiting for.
Just like the impression Liu Yin gave people twenty years ago, he was always so unpredictable but always brought unexpected results. Isn't this Bingge the idea he left behind back then? It¡¯s really not like a family doesn¡¯t belong to the same family. This is the case for both uncle and nephew. The elder thought?He actually smiled bitterly.
In the following time, I briefly talked with Liu Feng about the current situation of the military family and informed the elders and guardians that in the next few days, the elders and guardians would prepare a ceremony for Liu Feng to take over as the inheritor. He will be informed of the time.
After the matter was discussed, Liu Feng said goodbye to everyone politely, which naturally won another round of praise. Liu Qing took the initiative to ask Ying to send him down, and the others did not object because they knew Liu Qing's feelings for Liu Yin.
After Liu Feng went out, everyone immediately focused on the three items in front of them, but heard the elder snort softly, "What do you want to do? Rebellion. This was created by the new inheritor and is of great significance to the military strategist. , of course I will take care of them, Xiao Mu'er, come and keep them carefully for me." After saying that, regardless of the pitiful looks of the rest of the people, he shook his broad sleeves and raised his head and left.
On the other hand, Liu Qing escorted Liu Feng downstairs. He was naturally very satisfied with Liu Feng's performance today. Liu Feng once again treated this uncle-like old man with great courtesy.
Finally, they parted hands on the first floor. Liu Qing told Liu Feng that Liu Yin¡¯s old subordinates wanted to meet him at the Zuihonglou in the city at sunset tomorrow. Liu Feng quickly agreed, but seeing that Liu Qing was still a little shy, Liu Feng guessed that there must be some things that were difficult to talk about, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Qing, why do you and I have to be so polite? If you have anything to say, just ask In the future, my nephew will definitely help Uncle Qing do it."
In the end, Liu Qing finally said it. It turned out that he was happy with Liu Feng¡¯s book on war and chess, and wanted Liu Feng to give him a copy. Liu Feng immediately agreed with a smile, and then made an appointment with Liu Qing again for tomorrow, and went downstairs to the hall.
Liu Qing on the other side stroked his beard and smiled proudly. The eager look in the eyes of everyone upstairs meant that the good things Liu Feng had given him would definitely not be his turn. It seemed that they definitely didn¡¯t know that they had already arrived first and possessed those wonderful things. Things.
In the hall, Zhang Miao had already drank ten cups of tea at this moment, and he was already impatient. But this was the military pavilion, not a place he could just enter. Xiao Yue'er sat quietly on the other side. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes kept looking towards the stairs, which already showed her anxiety.
Just when the two of them couldn't stand it anymore, they finally saw Liu Feng slowly walking down the stairs under the guidance of the child. The two of them rushed forward. Seeing the smile on Liu Feng's face, Zhang Miao suddenly felt reassured when he thought that the ending had been decided. Xiao Yue'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the military pavilion, it was already late at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Zhang Miao pestered Liu Feng with a curious look on his face and asked him about tonight's situation, while Xiao Yue'er on the side also looked curious.
Liu Feng smiled silently and walked forward. Zhang Miao hurriedly stepped forward to pull him, but unexpectedly Liu Feng tilted and fell. Zhang Miao quickly supported him, and Xiao Yue'er on the side also ran up. Liu Feng needs to be treated.
Smiling and rejecting Xiao Yue'er's spell, Liu Feng slowly said that he was just tired and could just go back and rest. Xiao Yue'er on the side saw that Liu Feng's back was already soaked with Zhang Miao's support. It must have been extremely hard to deal with the military man just now, and Xiao Yue'er couldn't help but feel sad thinking about it.
Liu Feng, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "Sister Yue'er, we're going home, are you going to be out on the street at night?" Upon hearing this, the latter secretly wiped the corners of his eyes and hurriedly followed.
Liu Feng didn't notice Xiao Yue'er's hidden emotions, because he was in a really good mood now and finally took the first step successfully. Liu Feng looked up at the sky and whispered in his heart, "Uncle, Feng'er didn't Even if I disappoint you, Feng'er will continue to work hard."
Night was shrouded, the evening wind was blowing, and there was silence between heaven and earth. Only the stars blinked their naughty eyes, and a crescent moon stretched the backs of the three people.
