(Is it reasonable not to award red tickets in the middle of the night?)
Chapter 207 is not about Jianghu
Fang Jie was deeply touched by the fact that Shen Qingshan entered the ninth level in one battle. He already knew that the fastest way to quickly increase his strength was through constant actual combat. If a person stays at home and practices hard every day, his realm will be advanced, but he may not be able to dominate the world without going out. In the past life, there were no examples of martial arts practitioners being knocked down by bricks. If you want to beat someone, you must first learn to be beaten. Although it is a bit one-sided, it is not unreasonable.
Therefore, Fang Jie left the Sanjin Houfu the next day and returned to the Yanwu Academy.
There are many students in the Martial Arts Academy who have not left due to various reasons. For example, students who come from very far away places, the fifteen-day break from classes is not enough time for them to go home. There are also some students who are short of money and have no money to go out to socialize and socialize, so they simply stay in the courtyard and chat with their classmates, which is also a pleasure.
Most of the students who stay in the martial arts academy are from military backgrounds. The most special one among them is Xie Fuyao, who comes from the Xie family in Jiangnan. He is not someone who has no money to go out for fun, nor does he have no relatives and friends in Chang'an. But he did not go out to live and drink like other children from rich families. Instead, he quietly read and practiced alone. Because most of the people staying in the yard were not like him, Xie Fuyao seemed a little lonely.
When Fang Jie found him, he was reading under a rockery in the garden behind the Yanwu Academy. There is a library in the Yanwu Academy where students can borrow books. Most of these books were donated by successive professors themselves, and some were donated by the military and rewards from the emperor. More than a hundred years later, the number of books in this library is spectacular.
Xie Fuyao was reading a book called "The Sword Record of Wanjiantang". He had just heard Shen Qingshan talk about Wanjiantang last night. When he saw such a book in Xie Fuyao's hand, Fang Jie couldn't help but feel a lot about it. Many years ago, the overlord of the Central Plains rivers and lakes had a strong curiosity. But this book was not written by people from Wanjiantang. Instead, it was compiled by people in the world.
"You have never practiced Wudang Three, so why should you read Wanjiantang Sword Record?"
Fang Jie sat down next to Xie Fuyao and asked.
Xie Fuyao smiled, closed the book with a snap and asked, "You have a lovely wife and beautiful woman by your side, why do you come back to me?"
Fang Jie laughed and said, "My hands are itchy and my skin is tight. I want to hit someone but also want to be beaten."
"So you just come back here and use me as a sandbag?"
"Don't be ridiculous"
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's clear who is whose punching bag between the two of us. If you are willing, you can beat me until my nose is bruised and my face is swollen at any time."
"Hypocrisy"
Xie Fuyao glared back and said, "If you don't tell me a reason, I won't bother to be your sparring partner. I just want to have fifteen days of peace and freedom without leaving the martial arts academy, but you insist on bothering me." . Stop making up random excuses and just say something sincere that can impress me. Otherwise, you should go back quickly and I will continue reading."
"I have a woman."
Fang Jie looked at Xie Fuyao and said seriously.
Xie Fuyao was startled, and then said with some annoyance: "You came all the way here just to show off?"
"No¡¡"
Fang Jie was silent for a while and then said more seriously: "I can't beat her"
Xie Fuyao was stunned again, then looked at Fang Jie sympathetically, patted his shoulder and said, "My condolences."
Fang Jie pouted: "Can you have some sympathy?"
"All right¡¡"
Xie Fuyao stretched and smiled: "Even if your reason is sincere, it doesn't matter if you have a reason. There is a saying If you want to gain something, you must give something."
Fang Jie gritted his teeth and said, "For more than ten taels of silver, no need to discuss it!"
Xie Fuyao smiled brightly: "Yesterday, a new dish was added to the canteen of the Yanwu Academy. Although it is the middle of winter, the bamboo shoots of Ding Ding bamboo in the early winter of Jiangnan are transported to the north. I have been very busy since I left home. I rarely eat this thing. I felt very friendly when I saw it in the cafeteria yesterday. I asked the chef in the cafeteria that it costs nine taels of silver to prepare a bamboo shoot banquet. Do you think it is a coincidence? "
¡°What¡¯s so delicious about that thing? It¡¯s not as refreshing as chicken, duck, and fish.¡±
Fang Jie said seriously.
Xie Fuyao raised an eyebrow: "Please or not?"
"please!"
Fang Jie gritted his teeth and nodded, then added: "I don't care about the drinks!"
¡¡

There are dozens of martial arts training grounds in various sizes. The largest one can accommodate hundreds of people, and the smallest one can't accommodate even thirty people. Fang Jie and Xie Fuyao found a relatively remote place.It's a place where no one will disturb you. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and even the students who stayed in the courtyard have mostly gone out to play in the streets. It is the busiest time, and you can gain a lot by just wandering around without spending any money.
According to the rules, Fang Jie should go to pay New Year greetings to relatives and friends. But he didn't have any relatives in Chang'an City. As for Luo Weiran, the uncle he got for free, Fang Jie didn't think he could find him. The serial murderer last night has shown his face. It is speculated that he is Fang Henshui, the policeman who came to the capital from a small county in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, Hou Wenji left for the northwest early this morning, leaving all the affairs of the Ouchi Guard Office to Luo Weiran, so he was very busy.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Your Majesty and the Queen will take the concubines, princes and princesses to the Ancestral Temple to worship their ancestors. Then he has to take all the civil and military officials to the Mingtan altar to pray for the people, and Luo Weiran must accompany him.
After much deliberation, there are not many people in Chang'an who need to be polite. Fang Jie wrote several greeting notes early in the morning and asked the servants of the Sanjin Marquis Mansion to help send them out, one to Prince Yi Yang Yin, one to Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, and one to Zong Lianghu, the Minister of War. These people were all pretty good to him, and some officials with whom he had contacts also gave him a copy. Anyway, those adults will follow His Majesty today, and they may not be able to come back until dark, so they can just send the invitations to express their feelings.
This is just a matter of etiquette, just do it to show off. Fang Jie didn't have the money to give big gifts now, and when buying greeting cards, he didn't even bother to choose the most expensive gold-gilded calligraphy cards.
Xie Fuyao fought against Fang Jie for the first time, using the Four Symbols finger technique to blow the wind and send thunder. The other two variations are Falling Rain in Autumn and Frost in Winter.
There are many small changes in each of these four fingering methods. If I were to study them all, I would probably write a book. All the cultivation techniques are based on the word "enlightenment". A stupid person can learn a change, which is the ultimate. Intelligent people can naturally understand more. Wan Xingchen, the master of the Wanjian Hall, is known as the master of one method and the master of all methods. He has practiced swordsmanship all his life, but he has no teacher to master all the wonderful methods in the world. This is the difference between people, and it cannot be made up by hard work.
Xie Fuyao's four-symbol fingering method is infinitely varied, which is consistent with the saying that the Great Dao gives birth to two, two gives rise to three, and three gives rise to all things. Just one fingering technique, Spring Method and Wind Wind, can produce many changes.
"Do you want to have a fight, or should I teach you the Liang Yi sword first?"
Xie Fuyao asked after taking off his robe and stretching his muscles a few times.
He promised Fang Jie to teach him Liangyi Sword, but then Fang Jie disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. The official statement of the Yanwu Academy is that he is in retreat in the back mountain, but in fact he is practicing in the prison of the Ouchi Guards. Wudang Mountain is said to have the most powerful three methods, one is Tai Chi, two is Liang Yi, three is Four Elephant, and the two Yi swordsmanship is said to be as powerful as the Four Elephant Fingers.
But Fang Jie is not very interested in swordsmanship. What he loves most is the sword.
"Of course we have to fight first."
Fang Jie smiled, then stepped forward and punched Xie Fuyao in the chest. Xie Fuyao stepped aside and raised his left index finger. Several fingers rushed towards Fang Jie like snakes crawling forward rapidly. The biggest feature of this spring method is to control the enemy, and the finger strength is relatively gentle.
Fang Jie has felt the power of this finger strength, so he doesn't dare to be careless. Last time it was because Xie Fuyao didn't know that his air pockets could hardly open and he didn't even have a sea of ??air. The Spring Technique Brushing Wind could seal others but couldn't seal Fang Jie. But now that Xie Fuyao knew Fang Jie's physique, he made a slight change in Fufeng's fingering technique, changing it from sealing the air points to sealing the meridians.
Fang Jie relied on his body to move extremely fast, dodging one after another in an attempt to get closer. How could Xie Fuyao give him such a chance again? Raising the middle finger of his left hand was Xia Fa's thunder, and raising his ring finger was Qiu Fa's falling rain. In fact, if he didn't fight desperately, there really wouldn't be anything Fang Jie could do against Xie Fuyao.
An hour passed like this. Xie Fuyao couldn't seal Fang Jie or knock him down. Fang Jie couldn't get close to Xie Fuyao, and there was nothing he could do against him. In the middle of winter, both of them were sweating, which was extremely enjoyable.
When I was tired from playing, I rested for a while and then walked to the cafeteria to drink.
"Zhang Kuang and Mo Xiandao also went to the street to watch the fun?"
Fang Jie asked while wiping his sweat.
"Maybe"
Xie Fuyao shook his head and said, "Mo Xidao saw it yesterday, but Zhang Kuang didn't."
Fang Jie hummed, feeling a little sad thinking about Zhang Kuang's embarrassment when he borrowed money from him that day. Students who came from the border army were particularly poor. Their salary was not as good as that of soldiers. If they had a little more social contact, the money issued by the court would not be enough.
¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll come to fight with you every day from now on, and I¡¯ll just see the two of them fighting together.¡±
Fang Jie smiled and stopped thinking about arrogant things.
¡¡
¡¡
As the emperor¡¯s procession went to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors,Although civil and military officials cannot enter the Ancestral Temple, they must accompany them. When the emperor and the empress led the nobles in the palace to worship their ancestors, the adults stood in a tidy manner outside the Ancestral Temple. The Sui Dynasty promoted filial piety, so naturally no one would dare to be rude to such a solemn ceremony.
Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards Department, stood on the steps, frowning slightly as he looked at the dark crowd outside.
"The people are sent out?"
He asked Meng Wudi, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guards Department.
Meng Wudi bowed and said: "We have sent them out. I asked Qian Huyue Sansheng to lead the team. They set off last night. It is estimated that it will take two months at the fastest to reach Jiangnan. I'm afraid it will take two months at the earliest." The flowers are blooming in spring.¡±
"Don't let up in the capital either."
Luo Weiran said: "That man is injured. He will definitely find a secret place to recuperate during this period of time. We have searched all the hiding places in Chang'an City. After all, he is not a god and cannot fly to the sky and escape."
Meng Wudi hummed and then said: "One more thing. Recently, a new killer organization has appeared in the rivers and lakes of Gyeonggi Province. Its origin is unknown. It has committed three cases. Song Zhenshan, the leader of the Laishui Iron Fist Sect, was killed, and a group of killers appeared in Hejian. Feng Tai, the head of Zigun, and Liu Ta, the leader of Xiangzhen Zhongyi Hall, should be the same group of people. The martial arts people in Gyeonggi Province are planning to jointly investigate and find this killer organization. "
Luo Weiran nodded and didn¡¯t pay too much attention: "The people in the Jianghu will solve the problems in the Jianghu by themselves. Such killers only seek money. They have angered the entire martial arts community in Gyeonggi Province, and they will be better off in a few days."
at the same time
A secret courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.
Qin Liuqi, who always looked kind and gentle, led a young man with a gloomy face into the door and ordered the door to be closed tightly. He led the young man to the backyard and said as he walked: "The prince values ??you very much. This courtyard is full of subordinates who are loyal to the prince. You get along well with them. With your ability, it is natural for you to stand out." Not difficult.¡±
The young man hummed, frowning and looking at the yard carefully.
When he walked into the backyard, the two men in purple attire guarding the door lowered their heads and saluted Qin Liuqi. Qin Liuqi waved his hand and asked, "Where is Captain Zhang?"
The man guarding the door respectfully replied: "I went to Bazhou today to practice my skills with a group of newcomers."
Qin Liuqi nodded and said: "Let your leader come to see me, and I will bring him a master."
