Night was the most sentimental time. This was the first time Chang Fan had left the village. Although he no longer had any family there, it was still a place where he had lived for more than ten years! Chang Fan couldn't help but feel homesick--
He slowly took out a bamboo flute and played it. The low voice was melodious and resonated throughout the starry sky.
"Wow, it's so nice!"
Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded. Xiang Tao had appeared out of nowhere.
"You asked me to play the flute." Xiang Tao ordered.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to teach!" Even though Chang Fan knew that he was the young master, he was used to freedom and didn't like his commanding tone.
" If you don't teach me, I'll get my father to kill you," Xiang Tao threatened.
" Your father said that you can't treat me like how you treat the other servants. He won't kill me," Chang Fan retorted smugly. However, he was actually very afraid.
Children were easy to deceive. It was just that when two children were together, it was hard to tell who was lying to whom.
"Big brother, just teach me. I study and practice every day. It's so boring. It's fun to play the flute."
This kid saw that the hard way didn't work, so he used the soft way. He was indeed someone who had read the art of war!!! Sweat!
Chang Fan wanted to get to know him since he was Xiang Xin's son, so he pretended to be deep and said," Alright, but you have to call me Boss in the future. Also, pay ten taels of silver for the flute and ten taels of silver for the school fees."
"F * ck, boss, it's a waste of talent if you don't do the money making business!!!”After calling him "Boss", Xiang Tao agreed. Firstly, he did not care about the money. Secondly, children naturally liked to be with children. It was normal for them to recognize a partner who was a little taller than them.
next day. Chang Fan woke up very early, but Xiang Xin woke up even earlier!
"This book is the life's work of the leader of the Five Tiger Generals, General Sun Wu. I'm afraid I can only understand 70% of it.”Although Xiang Xin was a general, he did not know how to teach students! She then taught Chang Fan a book and ran away.
Not even Lord Marquis had a full meeting! Chang Fan immediately had a whole new level of respect for this seemingly ordinary book.
Sun Tzu's Art of War
First in the beginning
Sun Tzu said,
Military affairs were a matter of national importance, a matter of life and death, and a matter of life and death. They had to be carefully examined…
……
Conspiracy to Attack Third
……
Even though Chang Fan could barely understand the words in the book, he was completely convinced by Sun Wu's wisdom. He was completely immersed in all kinds of strategies, forgetting about time and everything else...
"Boss, I saw father leave just now. Let's go to the street to buy a flute.”Xiang Tao ran over excitedly and said.
"Alright!" Chang Fan was also a little tired from looking around. He was also very curious to see what the big city looked like.
Despite the chaos, the market in Han Changcheng was still bustling with activity. In a musical instrument store, two youths walked in from the outside. Just by looking at their attire, one could tell that they were not from an ordinary family. Behind them were four guards.
"Aiyo, isn't this the third young master of the Xiang family? "Please come in." The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
" I want to buy a flute." Xiang Tao ignored the shopkeeper and went straight to the point.
The shopkeeper immediately took out a white transparent jade flute from the top of the counter and said with a smile,"This is the best jade flute in our store. It costs thirty taels of silver. If Third Young Master wants it, we will only charge fifteen taels of silver."
Fifteen taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to live for a year. This flute was really expensive!
"Let me wipe it." Chang Fan immediately took it and blew on it.
" Mm, it's indeed much better than the bamboo flute. I'll take it. Here's the money." Chang Fan smiled as he paid for the flute. It was obvious that he really liked it.
Outside the shop,
"Boss, you actually bought me such a good flute. I, I, I'm so touched!!!”Xiang Tao looked grateful.
"Oh, oh! " This is mine. I forgot about you just now. Hehe, I'm sorry," Chang Fan said nonchalantly.
What?
"Boss, you…you hurt my young heart!!!”Xiang Tao was depressed to death.
Helplessly, they went back and bought another one. Of course, Xiang Tao paid for it. Later, as an apology, Chang Fan treated them to all their meals and tea, but Xiang Tao paid for it...
The next morning, Chang Fan was teaching Xiang Tao how to play the flute when Xiang Xin walked over.
"Xiao Fan, you can play the flute! What is this song called?" Xiang Xin asked with a smile.
"It was created by my father after my mother passed away.”
"Sorrow of the Night…Hmm! From the tune, it seems that your father is very sad about your mother's departure! However, you're bragging about it, but you haven't seen the spirit!”
"He has his own actions, but he doesn't have his own spirit." Chang Fan whispered in confusion.
"Haha! This was also a good thing. If you were to boast about it, it would only mean that you had encountered something sad. It was better not to encounter it!”Xiang Xin said meaningfully.
"But don't teach him too seriously. You're just on a whim. After a few days, you won't be able to learn well. "I once invited many famous hermits to see the three brothers. The eldest is a general, and the second is good at governing the country." Xiang Xin looked at Xiang Tao excitedly and helplessly.
"This Third Brother's aptitude is a hundred times better than his two brothers, but whether it's leading an army or governing a country, he's not even one-tenth of an ordinary person.”
"But a Daoist said that my talent is a rare genius in cultivation!!!”Xiang Tao was unconvinced and continued,
" When I asked the Taoist priest to take Tao 'er as his disciple, he refused. He said that they were very strict in taking disciples and that they had to go to the sect to pass the test of the Heart Testing Pavilion. When I asked him where their sect was, he said that the sect rules forbade him from telling me and that he was very stubborn. After that, I sent people to look for the cultivation sects many times, but they were too mysterious and had yet to find anything.”Xiang Xin said helplessly.
Whether it was luck or misfortune, Xiang Tao learned about his aptitude from the Taoist priest, but he met the disciples of the most old-fashioned Mount Shu Sword Sect. If it was any other sect, with Xiang Tao's aptitude, he might have already embarked on the path of cultivation. This was a story for the future.
"Let me tell you about the situation on the continent.”Xiang Xin suddenly remembered that Chang Fan might not know many things in the mountains, so he said,"
"The Yan Huang Continent is almost entirely the territory of the Wu Kingdom. However, the Wu Kingdom is currently in chaos. There are mainly three major factions. Next was the alliance of the rebel generals, Li Yi, Le Xing, and Qin Zhen. The weakest but fastest growing was the peasant rebellion led by Li Sheming.
The First Emperor of Wu had decreed that the regular army of a feudal lord could not exceed 300,000. Among them, he had 300,000 soldiers and horses. The trump card was the Flying Tiger Army. They were the elite of the entire army and were undergoing strict training. There was only one course of training, and that was actual combat. Only by experiencing the baptism of iron and fire could they become true warriors!
Sun Bin did not have a trump card army, or rather, his 300,000 troops were all trump cards. Not only were they good at fighting, but they were also proficient in the art of war and formations. They were the best at fighting. Their overall strength was only one level lower than the large Central Army.
The Empire had an army of 1.2 million, but other than the 100,000 Royal Guards, most of the other armies were undisciplined and had low combat strength. They could barely deal with the peasants, but they could only rely on numbers and food to win against other armies.
The Weiwu Marquis Li Yi had forcibly summoned 100,000 troops on top of the 300,000 troops. The trump card troops were the Blood Guards, but their numbers were unknown. Rather than calling them an army, it would be more accurate to call them death warriors!
The Marquis of Jiayi had an army of 350,000, and his trump card was 2,000 chariots.
The original garrison of Northern Battlefront Marquis had an army of 300,000, all of which were elite cavalry!
As for Li Sheming's peasant army, they were weak, undisciplined, and lacked military talents. However, their numbers were close to a million and they were constantly growing.”
Speaking of which, Xiang Xin slowly raised his head and looked into the distance.
"The other party is the cultivators, or the living immortals that the people say. Even if they never interfere in everything, we have to mention them. No matter how hard an ordinary person trained, they would only be able to carry 500 pounds of weight and run 20 miles in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. One against ten was already their limit.
Immortal? What a dazzling name. Countless experts on the entire continent were crazy about it, and countless martial artists wanted to become immortals. Once the flying sword appeared, it could kill people from thousands of miles away without a trace. It soared through the nine heavens and instantly passed thousands of miles. What kind of divine power was this?”
There was a trace of desire in his eyes, and then he sighed,"If there was someone willing to help us, then we wouldn't have to fight this war. Unfortunately, they never interfere in the wars of the mortal world."”
"Good boy! "Then why would I still need to learn the art of war? I'd rather be an immortal," Chang Fan couldn't help but think.
"However, to cultivate, one needs great aptitude and opportunities. It's too difficult for ordinary people to cultivate, and once they succeed, they can't easily show themselves in the mortal world. Tao 'er lacks opportunities. You should focus on your studies. This can't be forced.”Xiang Xin looked at Xiang Tao helplessly.
"If I knew it wouldn't be so simple, it would be great if I could really be a god.”Chang Fan was still dreaming.
A father knows his son best. After a few days, Xiang Tao stopped learning the flute and started practicing with Chang Fan to train his body.
In order to reach the peak of the body, all kinds of training methods would definitely allow the body to undergo countless transformations. That kind of pain was not something that ordinary people could withstand. In the beginning, he would run with a weight of 10 pounds every day, carrying water from the foot of the mountain to fill the 10 large water tanks on the mountain! He was practicing Jiayi's moves again and again, his limits! Reaching their limits every day was even more difficult than getting a hundred lashes every day. It wasn't that they were sensible. There weren't many children who were so sensible. They were completely forced!
Chang Fan still remembered that when he had just memorized the art of war, Xiang Xin had announced that he would be cultivating with Xiang Tao from tomorrow onwards.
early in the morning
In the cold wind, Xiang Xin stood there motionlessly like a statue in his black suit.
"Chang Fan, I want you to do it at five o'clock. It's already six o'clock. I'll punish you to run from the marquis 'manor to the Sun Gazing Tower, which is five miles away, and then run back.”Xiang Xin changed his usual kindness and ordered coldly.
(In order to make it easier for everyone to see, the time in Yanhuang Continent is the same as ours. The snail is a little lazy.)
