Fang Jie is the most special person in the martial arts academy. He rarely appears in the classroom where he should be. Professor Mo Wanwu has become accustomed to this matter. He knew that Fang Jie had not forgiven him. After all, the incident on Banyue Mountain did happen because of him.
So when he saw Fang Jie walking directly to the library instead of the classroom, what else could he do except shake his head and smile bitterly? He is a professor at the Performing Martial Arts Academy, and he cannot be allowed to chase after a student and repent endlessly. Regarding what happened on Banyueshan Mountain, Mo Wanwu hated it but didn't regret it very much. If the students of the Yanwu Academy cannot even bear this setback, how will they lead troops into battle in the future?
Exposure to death earlier is not necessarily a bad thing for students.
Of course, this is extremely unfair to the deceased.
After Fang Jie entered the library, he sat down in his usual place, next to the window, where he could see the scenery outside and the people coming and going. And this is a corner, remote and quiet. He can read a book calmly, or he can relax and meditate with his eyes closed. Since the last time Ma Lilian saw him spit out dozens of worms, Fang Jie had not met her again in the library.
Fang Jie didn¡¯t care at all about Ma Lilian¡¯s change. He and that girl had nothing to do with each other, and she had never entered Fang Jie's heart.
¡°I have finished reading Wanjiantang Sword Record. The things recorded in this book are fragmentary and not comprehensive. But Fang Jie summarized a few sword techniques based on the sharp sword moves, and when he practiced them in private, he felt that they should be very effective. Fang Jie was born in the border army, and he was used to fighting since he was a child. Therefore, his requirements for moves are extremely simple, that is, direct and quick. Simple and clear, kill the enemy with one strike.
Xie Fuyao showed him the Liangyi Sword Technique of Wudang Mountain, but Fang Jie didn't like this ethereal and fairy-like routine. If there is a duel between people in the arena, these elegant and elegant sword moves are indeed effective. But placed in front of the two armies, this sword technique is meaningless. Even the masters of swordsmanship in this world cannot dance gracefully among thousands of armies.
The books Fang Jie has been reading in the past few days are all about how to practice, and they can be found in the libraries of several major sects on the basics of practice. Basically, they are the same and never change. Fang Jie tried to use the vitality of heaven and earth that he could sense. Although he had made some progress in the past few days, it still had no effect when used in actual combat. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Fang Jie suddenly realized that the direction he was thinking in the first place was wrong.
Since he could sense the vitality of heaven and earth, he has wanted to be able to kill enemies from a distance like a practitioner. But the vitality he could sense was pitifully thin and completely useless. After pondering hard for a solution, he suddenly thought that in this state, if he could mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, it would be a great success. After all, he is still the best at close combat, and this is what should be considered most now.
Understanding this, Fang Jie began to try to let the vitality of heaven and earth he sensed enter his fist. He has no Qi sea and cannot store vitality in the Dantian Qi sea. But you can concentrate your energy on one point. Although it is weak, it should be somewhat helpful for the offensive.
His physical body is already extremely powerful. If he can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth again, his attack power will definitely increase. This is a very bold attempt. He does not incorporate the vitality of heaven and earth into the body's sea of ??qi, and then transform it into internal energy and integrate it into the limbs and bones. Instead, it condenses the vitality outside the body, just like adding an iron shield to the outside of the fist.
I thought of this method for a moment, and then I tried to do it. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, he felt the vitality of heaven and earth swimming outside his body, and tried to gather the vitality around his fist, but this attempt was a bit outrageous. So after more than an hour, Fang Jie still made no progress.
He looked at the sun outside and knew it was almost noon. So he got up and left. After greeting the old man, he went directly to the horse farm and fed the red horse fodder. Just as he was about to leave to eat in the cafeteria, he suddenly saw a groom carrying a bucket winking at him. This was definitely not because he blinked because his eyes felt uncomfortable, but because he obviously wanted to arouse Fang Jie.
Fang Jie looked around and found that he had indeed winked at himself and then said to the groom: "Should my red horse be taken out for a run? It looks so fat that it can hardly run anymore."
The groom smiled and said loudly: "It doesn't matter. This is a famous breed in Northern Liao. No matter how fat it is, it can run like flying. You only need to take it out for a run and it will recover."
He walked to Fang Jie and added water to the red horse: "You can't go to the yard in Dongjiutiao anymore, there is an ambush inside. My father-in-law already knew that place and sent people to check it secretly. There are many experts there now. In addition, After returning home, you go to the market and buy two servants. There is also a young man who looks very conspicuous and sells himself. You also buy him back to be a book boy. As for who to buy, you will know when you get there, it is all for your father-in-law. You did a good job of arranging it??. "
The groom finished these words in a low voice, and then laughed loudly: "Master Xiaofang, you are so lucky. Even the generals of the imperial court find it extremely difficult to get a good horse from Northern Liao."
Fang Jie also smiled and said, "Yes, my luck has always been good."
"What is your Majesty's will?"
He asked in a lowered voice.
The groom shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't have any decree, but my father-in-law asked me to tell Mr. Xiaofang, don't be greedy for credit, don't be impatient."
Fang Jie was startled, then smiled and said, "Since father-in-law is so concerned, can I make another request?"
"Master Xiaofang, please tell me."
"Is it free to buy someone to buy a book boy? If my father-in-law is willing to give me tens of thousands of taels of silver and flowers, I will be even more grateful."
The groom was stunned for a moment, looking at Fang Jie as if he were a monster.
"ThisI will definitely convey it on your behalf."
He said something and then left with the bucket.
After the man disappeared, Fang Jie couldn't help but frown and thought. The meeting in the Yanwu Academy must be so mysterious. Is it possible that there are people in the Yanwu Academy that the emperor does not believe?
¡¡
¡¡
As soon as the sun turned slightly to the west, we left the Yanwu Academy and found the place where the groom said. This is a very large market, completely opposite to the market where Fang Jie went to visit Chungu Butcher and the others. This place is run by the government, and all the big merchants come and go. In the innermost corner of the market is the place where people and transactions take place.
Some of the slaves sold here are family members of convicted officials, who were demoted as slaves and sent to the market for sale. Part of it is that there are difficulties that the family cannot cope with, and they can only sell themselves. There are also some people captured by the Sui Dynasty's border troops from various frontiers. They are all barbarians who look very different from the Central Plains people.
In this population market, the families of those officials sell for the highest prices. The servants were implicated because their master had committed a crime, but they were not too worried about finding work. Generally, wealthy households like to choose these people when buying maidservants. Because they understand the rules, they are much better than buying barbarians. Moreover, concubines and daughters of convicts were generally sold at very high prices. The businessmen are rich but of low status. If they want to sleep with women from official families, they can only find them here. It would also be a very honorable thing to buy a prison officer's daughter or concubine to fill in a house.
??And barbarians are usually bought by businessmen to work as coolies, and they don't need to pay any money, they just need to be fed. These barbarians are generally rough, but very powerful. Commercial banks like to buy people like this, as they can save a lot of money on hiring Liba.
But there were no wars in the Sui Dynasty in these years, and the number of barbarian slaves was not large, but they were valuable but not marketable. As long as a batch comes, they will usually be robbed, and they are just as easy to get rid of as the family members of the prisoners.
???????????????? In comparison, those who had to sell themselves because of difficulties at home were rarely cared about. Because Sui people are inherently proud, no one will make a fool of themselves unless they are unable to overcome obstacles. These people are not easy to handle when they buy them back, and they often carry a bit of arrogance.
It took Fang Jie half an hour to find this place. He deliberately walked slowly but no one took the initiative to talk to him. This made him a little surprised. The groom said that he would be able to recognize the person arranged by Su Buwei as soon as he arrived, but he still didn't find anything after walking halfway. While searching, he met a man selling candied haws, and Fang Jie sold two skewers. I ate one bunch by myself, and I wrapped the other bunch and planned to take it back to give Shen Qing a fan.
It was at this moment that he saw the person he was looking for.
Three, standing next to each other.
"One is a big-shouldered man with a round waist. There is a sign in front of him, which says one hundred taels of silver. There is no need to talk about missing a penny. The other was a scholar, and the robe he wore had not been washed for who knows how many days and was extremely dirty. The weather was still cold, but he was holding an old folding fan in his hand. There were five words written on the fan, "Please be destined to be destined." The person standing next to the scholar was the young man the groom mentioned, but when he saw this young man, Fang Jie couldn't help but want to curse.
This was a dark and skinny boy, which made Fang Jie think of the African continent for a moment. The young man, who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a ragged leather jacket, was undressing and winking at the other party. There were two pieces of snot hanging like spring silkworms under his nose. Although it had flowed to his mouth, he could always suck it back miraculously.
That withered yellow hair is like a hen¡¯s nest built with weeds. Moreover, this young man is so thin that you don¡¯t want to take a second look at him. He has a small body and a big head. He is clearly the descendant of aliens and African natives.
Where did Su Buwei recruit these three guys?
That strong man was priced at one hundred taels of silver. Even if he was a good man who worked as a coolie, who would buy him for one hundred taels of silver? It was only this price to buy ten barbarian slaves, which would do a lot more work than him. that bookHealth, at first glance, is a model of powerlessness. He was obviously dirty, but his face looked unsullied from the mud. That black guy, if you buy it back, it will have no use other than to make you sick and lose weight.
Although Fang Jie was reluctant to do so, he still had to walk over.
He first looked at the strong man, frowned and asked, "Why do you think you are worth a hundred taels of silver?"
The strong man with a beard and an open chest showing a tuft of black chest hair actually had a shy look on his face, as if he was shy. He lowered his head and looked at his toes and whispered in a sharp voice: "I have strength, and I'm handyI I bet that all the big girls and young wives in Chang'an City are not as beautiful as my nun."
To prove it, he took out a cloth bag from his clothes and opened it. Fang Jie found that there were various embroidery needles inside. The shortest one was only about three or four centimeters, and the longest one was nearly a foot long.
Fang Jie was so disgusted by the strong man's coercion that he felt like vomiting, and when he looked at the black boy again, he was quite pleased with him.
He asked the scholar again: "What is a destined person?"
The scholar raised his chin and said in a tone of voice: "I am a scholar. Although I am reduced to selling myself, I still want to find a scholarly family to work for. I have many gaps in my heart, and ordinary people will naturally look down on you. Look at you, young master. He is also a scholar in his attire, so he naturally understands the integrity of a scholar.¡±
"Speak directly"
Fang Jie waved his hand to interrupt the scholar.
¡°Every meal must have meat!¡±
The scholar said firmly.
Fang Jie sighed and looked at the black boy who was about to open his mouth to ask. The boy raised his fists and beat his chest like a gorilla and said boldly: "I am very strong! I am so strong, sir, that you won't believe it!"
He spat blood when he spoke, so Fang Jie nodded vigorously and said, "I believe you"
On an evening when the setting sun cast long shadows, Fang Jie led three weirdos to escape quickly while everyone in the population market looked at them like idiots. When he returned to the shop, he found that he had an even bigger headache, because there was a pretty girl standing at the door, it was Zhuang Die.
