Chapter 324: Movement is worse than silence
Flying is the dream of mankind.
Looking down from the sky, flying freely, the sky is vast, the earth is boundless, and worldly troubles seem to have no place to stay.
Shock and emotion coexist, and realizing one's own insignificance can arouse one's fighting spirit.
After this day's team-building activities, the young people in the palace wanted more and more to go out and see the world outside.
How can you enjoy such a wonderful thing as hang gliding and such beautiful scenery of the Wax Apple Mountains alone?
Therefore, under the strong recommendation of the first group of young people who were trying out the new things, Gong Shangjiao, Gong Huanyu, Gong Zishang... and even the two elders and the jade-step guards in the back mountain, all took turns to go up to the sky at least once.
The desire to go out spread like a plague. All those who have seen the vastness of the world have spontaneously hidden their desire in their hearts and worked harder to accumulate strength.
On the contrary, Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng, the two who took the lead in playing, only played for one day.
The next day, as soon as Gong Yuanzheng learned the three styles of Snow Brushing, the two of them left their equipment and Gong's ice sculptures with a strong fantasy color, and followed Jin Tong to visit the guard camp in the back mountain.
When they were still some distance away from the camp gate, Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng saw the old instructor who once rowed the boat for Yuegong.
His smile was as bright as before. The two teams of men in instructor uniforms behind him followed his salute and bowed their heads in unison, clasping their fists. “Mr. Zheng, Miss Zhao, thank you very much.”
Everyone knows what we are thanking you for.
There was no flower hall in the guard camp, only a large dining hall for collective meals. Several tables in the back were already placed with wine and salted soybeans to go with it.
The cook was used to cooking in a big pot and was not good at cooking for himself, so the food was just edible. However, Zhang Xueming was not picky, and Gong Yuanzheng did not show any displeasure, at most he only ate two bowls less than usual.
After the meal and chat, Gong Yuanzheng wanted to try his skills, and Zhang Xueming had no objection. The instructors were more than happy to accept the request, so a group of people surrounded the young couple and entered the martial arts arena.
In one-on-one matches, Gong Yuanzheng fought seven times and won all seven.
Gong Yuanzheng's internal strength is not much different from that of the nearly 40-year-old Huang Yushi. They agreed in advance that regardless of their status, they would use all their strength. Anyway, with Zhang Xueming watching, he didn't believe that anyone could hurt him.
He mainly used long-range hidden weapons combined with light skills, supplemented by close-combat swordsmanship, honing his skills and accumulating experience in battle.
After each game, Zhang Xueming would point out the areas where he needed to pay attention through the soul mark, and he would make obvious progress in the next battle, which stunned a group of Huang Yu instructors and made them call him a "genius".
"Ayuan is very good. He is the most talented, perseverant and hardworking genius I have ever seen." Zhang Xueming said with a smile.
Gong Yuanzheng smiled proudly, his eyes sparkling. The fierce fight had made his face flushed, and it was hard to tell whether he was shy or not.
Some of the instructors wanted to challenge, but the old instructor glared at them and they had to retreat in disappointment.
Jin Tong secretly urged Zhang Xueming: "Miss Zhao, don't you want to exercise your legs?"
Zhang Xueming shook his head: "I will come to ask for advice after A Yuan has passed the three-domain trial."
She gave Jin Tong a meaningful look and said, "Guard Jin Tong will also be willing to give me some advice when the time comes."
Gong Yuanzheng knew as soon as he heard it that the rather arrogant guard instructors from the back mountain would be beaten up, so he felt better: "It's settled, Jin Tong." He smiled at the old instructor and said: "Zhao Zhao's martial arts is much better than mine, this number of people is not enough for her to fight."
The old instructor glanced back at the unconvinced faces in the crowd, intending to dampen their enthusiasm, so he agreed without hesitation.
Gong Yuanzheng didn't want to rush to pass the second level, so he asked Jin Tong to send a letter to Xue Chongzi, asking him to bring Master Xue to Zheng Palace for a stay when he was free, and then he took Zhang Xueming back to the front mountain.
It is true that the people in the back mountain are simpler in mind than those in the front mountain, and it is also true that the living conditions in the back mountain are not as good as those in the front mountain.
Although they admired Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi for their ability to endure loneliness and stay in the ice and snow for decades, Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng did not have the habit of not only not enduring hardship but also creating conditions for enduring hardship.
[I miss my pharmacy.] Gong Yuanzheng muttered in his heart, [And my exotic plants and the flowers and plants over there, I don’t know if my brother has taken good care of them for us.]
Zhang Xueming comforted him: "We have only been in the back mountain for less than four days. Brother is such a careful person, there will be no problem."
After returning to check both palaces, Gong Yuanzheng was relieved and gave Gong Shangjiao a bright smile. "I knew that brother loved me and Zhaozhao the most. Brother, you are so good to us~"
"Is this all right?" Gong Shangjiao hid his little pride in his heart.
He runs back and forth every day when he has nothing to do, taking care of the flowers and plants according to the instructions written by his two younger children, and never asking anyone else to do it for him. How could it not be good?
"No matter how big or small the matter between Ayuan and I is, I take it to heart. If this is not good enough, then what should we do?" Zhang Xueming used a sincere look and tone to support Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Shangjiao felt relaxed and happy, even more comfortable than after eating Izumo Chonglian. He couldn't suppress his smile the whole night. He privately instructed Jin Ting to urge the sewing room to speed up the production of the batch of winter clothes he had ordered for his younger brothers and sisters.
"Brother, how's the situation outside the valley these two days?" Gong Yuanzheng was still a little worried that the destruction of Wufeng's headquarters that day would bring trouble to Gong Shangjiao.
"It's calm." Gong Shangjiao smiled happily. "I sent people to check out the locations Zhaozhao had deduced. The four Wufeng strongholds have been confirmed. Two are in Yunxi Town, and two are in Shiqiao Town. The two towns are only two hours away from each other."
He stroked his fingertips and said, "Wu Feng is very cunning. Zhao Zhao destroyed their casinos, brothels and pawnshops in the past, so they turned to running inns near the intersection and occupied a farm outside the town to raise pigeons.
According to the secret letter, starting from that evening, in the past few days, a total of eleven carriages from the two inns left in the direction of the Wax Apple Mountains and returned late at night. Judging from the depth of the ruts, there were several people when they left and several people when they came back. Now they are all stranded in the inn. "
The information was transmitted by people who came to collect night incense in the early morning and took it to a farm outside the town, where people in the farm released carrier pigeons.
"Now that we have discovered their base, why don't we dispatch personnel to capture them all in one fell swoop?" Gong Yuanzheng was puzzled.
"The stronghold has been exposed, and it is as good as nothing. Only when the palace gate moves at this time will Wufeng be convinced that the destruction of the headquarters is the work of the palace gate. We are not afraid of them besieging the palace gate, but we are afraid that they will be extremely scared and fight to the death, and report the matter of the Wuliang Liuhuo to the court." Gong Shangjiao explained patiently.
"Doesn't the court care about these things?"
Zhang Xueming touched his face lovingly: "The court just doesn't care about the fighting in the martial arts world, but no emperor will tolerate a martial arts sect holding a 'divine weapon' that can destroy the world. If Wu Feng really does this, the royal family and the court will stop fighting among themselves and turn their spearheads to the palace gates."
Not to mention that there are landmines everywhere in the palace: the name of the sect, the palace that exceeds the regulations, the system of selecting marriage partners, the private army of more than a thousand people, the manufacture of batches of standard weapons, bows and arrows, and powerful crossbows...
Who would believe me if I said I didn't have a rebellious heart?
Zhang Xueming smiled and said, "It's just right now. Gongmen pretends to be ignorant and lets Wufeng be suspicious. Wufeng lost more than half of his men this time. With Dianzhu's personality, he will definitely stay in Qingfeng Sect and not come out. We also need to let the other leaders stay put... and wait for us to be their guests."
