Chapter 421: The Wise Are Always Wise

Inside the martial arts hall.

Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong sat side by side, clinking jars and drinking snake gall wine painfully.

Bitter wine down the throat, heart aches...

Ton ton ton~

On the practice field, two apprentices hesitated for a long time before stepping forward to ask: "Cao Shixiong Hu, can you point out our Tiger Fist?"

"Okay!"

Hu Qi shook his clothes, dispersing the smell of wine.

Isn't it just that the junior brother broke through to Wolf Smoke, went out for half a month and slaughtered a snake demon, and discovered a Mermaid relic by the way?

Used to it!

Inside the hall.

Liang Qu, who had stimulated the two senior brothers, vividly recounted the heroic feat of the Bai Yuan slaying the snake and the luck of happening to find the Mermaid relic.

Yang Dongxiong listened quietly, while Xu Shi picked up the teacup, covered her face with the tea lid, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

After a long while.

Finished speaking.

Liang Qu picked up the tea to moisten his throat, secretly observed the expressions of his master and mistress, and suddenly saw Xu Shi narrowing her eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and he worded it.

"The general process is like this. I admit that I was impulsive in setting the military order. I didn't inform Master and Mistress in advance because I was afraid Master and Mistress would worry..."

Yang Dongxiong asked with a smile: "Do you really think you were impulsive? Or is it just a prepared wording in the face of the questioning from me and your mistress?"

Lady Xu set down her teacup and sneered, "To me, it sounds like a pre-arranged excuse. He thinks we two old folks talk too much, so he came to admit his fault in advance, hoping to make us take it lightly."

Liang Qu smiled awkwardly: "Master and Mistress have sharp eyes, disciple knows he was wrong."

Yang Dongxiong shook his head.

"I have been a master and apprentice with you for nearly two years. What kind of person you are, your mistress and I don't say we understand ten out of ten, but we have seen eight or nine out of ten.

Apart from being pure and kind, you are quite slippery, quite similar to Zishuai, not the kind of person who puts profit first and doesn't want his life.

Daring to set a military order, your friendship with that Bai Yuan is deeper than ordinary people imagine. I'm afraid you had full confidence in taking down the snake demon long ago."

Liang Qu didn't commit.

Indeed.

I am it, and it is me.

Life and death are related, living and dying together.

Ordinary people can't imagine it at all.

Yang Dongxiong continued: "The world is peaceful today. For martial artists, the road to promotion must be fast and stable. Without the background of princes and nobles, one can only rely on meritorious deeds, but the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds will not fall on you for nothing. If you should fight, you must fight.

I have been in the army for decades and have seen many people set military orders, from then on rising to the clouds. Even I was like this."

"Master also set military orders?"

Yang Dongxiong nodded: "I set them. I had to. No matter what kind of superior, they ultimately like to use experienced and reliable subordinates. Even if you are brave and kill, if you are in the last row, how can you find an opportunity to let the commander favor you?

Even among heart-to-heart subordinates, there is competition for opportunities to perform meritorious deeds, let alone people without relatives or reasons. At this time, the military order is the only chip you can play.

Since I joined the army, I have set two military orders. My luck was quite good, and I completed them smoothly, but I have also seen people who only set one and died on the spot.

If you succeed, there is no need to say more; if you don't... there is no need to say more either.

You just need to remember one point: those with a dry temperament have fiery fire, and they will burn when they encounter things; those who are ungrateful are as clear as ice, and they will kill when they encounter things; those who are stagnant and stubborn are like dead water and rotten wood, and their vitality is already dead; it is difficult to build meritorious deeds and extend blessings.

Dealing with the snake demon, you are an entry-level Wolf Smoke, and you can't get the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds even if you break the sky, but as long as you have a count in your heart, your emotions are not fiery, and if you should set it, you set it. If the matter is successful, it is successful. I won't blame you."

"Master is wise!"

Liang Qu cupped his hands and thanked him greatly.

Xu Shi added: "If you are not sure, don't fight hard. If you miss it, you miss it. It's just faster or slower.

You have your master, and your master has General Wenzhu and General Xu. Separated by two layers, it is not comparable to those direct descendants of aristocratic families who have everything, but it is not a barefoot man."

"Yes, Mistress, disciple will keep it in mind."

As Yang Dongxiong's direct disciple, Liang Qu enjoyed his master's connections, naturally belonging to the same faction as his superior Xu Yuelong, and was not a follower without relatives or reasons.

Just from this point, it was already much better than the days when Yang Dongxiong broke into the army alone.

Facts proved that Yang Dongxiong and Xu Shi were quite open-minded about the military order.

After all, they were from the military.

"Master, Mistress, disciple has one more thing."

"What is it?"

"I dug up a lot of Each Jiaorenlei in the Mermaid relic. I specifically picked two good-looking ones to give to Mistress and Senior Sister. Please ask Mistress to pass on the one for Senior Sister."

Liang Qu took out two small boxes from his arms, which contained the Each Jiaorenlei he had carefully selected, whose shapes were most consistent with teardrops.

"Why are you sending them again? Last time the giant clam pearls..."

Xu Shi just wanted to refuse, but Liang Qu turned to look behind him, and the servant at the door understood and moved several wooden boxes in.

"What is this again..."

"Twelve pieces of Dragon Gauze and Mermaid Gauze. Disciple thought that several senior brothers and sisters have no use for cloth, so I took the liberty to send them all to Mistress, make them into ready-made clothes, and then pass them on to several senior brothers."

"You are generous." Xu Shi stepped forward to stroke the cloth, "Do you know how much a piece of Mermaid Gauze is worth on the market?"

"Books say a piece of Dragon Gauze is worth a hundred gold. Disciple thinks that scholars have exaggerated this, pinning their love on the mermaids. Actually, a piece of cloth is dozens of gold, several hundred taels of silver?"

Xu Shi sighed.

"A piece of Mermaid Gauze is worth seven hundred to eight hundred taels. These two Each Jiaorenlei and twelve pieces of Mermaid Gauze and Dragon Gauze add up to at least fifteen thousand taels."

Liang Qu's tone was light.

"Two sets per person, you think it's too little?"

A piece of cloth is about four zhang long and two chi wide.

It sounds long, but it can only make two to three sets of spring clothes or one and a half sets of winter clothes. The remaining edges and corners can be used to sew handkerchiefs, sachets, and brocade bags.

Xu Shi rolled her eyes: "Two sets per person, you still think it's too little?"

"They need to be replaced. This year we are going to Huangzhou in October. Master, Mistress, and Senior Brothers all wear Dragon Gauze and Mermaid Gauze. Wouldn't that be more face?"

"Besides, the giant clam pearls last time were too big, and Mistress is not easy to make jewelry to wear on her body. Turn around and ask Master to take the Each Jiaorenlei to find Third Cao Shixiong to make a hairpin. It's shiny, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Yang Dongxiong agreed: "It makes sense. Making a hairpin must be extremely beautiful."

Hearing the two say this, Xu Shi was slightly moved.

Going back to her maiden home, it is better to be glorious.

"Okay, Xiao Jiu has great prospects, so I'll take it first."

Liang Qu smiled: "As long as Mistress is happy. In the future, if disciple touches a Dragon Pearl underwater, I will be willing to send it too."

Xu Shi poked Liang Qu's forehead hard and smiled lightly.

"Alright, you two talk. I'll find someone to make clothes."

After saying that, Xu Shi took the small box and let the servants move the boxes away, leaving only the master and apprentice in the hall.

The two looked at each other.

Yang Dongxiong drank tea: "Is the second True Steel done?"

Liang Qu grinned: "Disciple said ten out of ten, how could it not be done?"

"That's true." Yang Dongxiong laughed loudly, put down the teacup, "Go, talk in the courtyard."

Liang Qu's heart moved.

The two moved to the courtyard.

Wulong's father, Black Tooth, was basking in the sun, and wagged his tail when he saw Liang Qu.

Yang Dongxiong asked: "I know you raise a batch of water beasts, and have dealt with many water beasts, but have you ever noticed that in the same realm, some water beasts are big, some are small, and some water beasts, no matter what realm, their body size remains unchanged?"

"Noticed."

Liang Qu discovered early on that the fat catfish and Cannot-Move belong to the typical type that grows bigger and bigger, Fist is more restrained, and as for Awei, how big it was at the beginning, it is still how big it is now, basically not changing much, not to mention turning from a bracelet into a belt.

As for the completely unchanged ones.

Should it be humans?

Yang Dongxiong swept his eyes over Liang Qu's wrist: "This is superior development. The small ones are always small, the burly ones are always burly, and the wise are always wise.

Tigers can roar in the mountains and forests, relying on their huge body size, tail sweeping and trees breaking, eating a hundred catties of meat a day. Conversely, they are house cats. Poisonous insects are as big as mountains, but they will lose their concealment ability.

Big has big's goodness, small has small's benefit. Everyone goes to develop in the big direction, why are there so many insects and ants in the world? Everything born in heaven has its reason for existence and way of adaptation.

However, the wise are always wise. If claws are not as good as tigers, then make long spears to defend against enemies. Humans are the spirits of all things, using techniques and martial arts, but they can take care of many parties! True Steel is their long spear! It is reflecting inside and proving outside, connecting heaven and earth, the beginning of becoming big!

Wolf Smoke and Galloping Horse are vastly different. The significant difference lies in condensing pulses and building bridges, and spiritual will plays a certain role. The reason why Hunting Tiger martial artists can send out sword light of a hundred zhang is precisely because of this!"

Yang Dongxiong stretched out his arm, his five fingers closed, and white steam flowed, as if rippling invisible water waves, surging with light.

Liang Qu was staring at the palm, glimpsing the change in light and shadow on the ground, and suddenly had a feeling.

Looking up.

Airflow surged, and the wind exploded.

Endless white gas gathered, turning into a long knife spanning the entire courtyard! ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
