Chapter X
Su Dawei was bold in the face of others.
Even in the face of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, they are also free to advance and retreat.
Only in the face of Liu Niangzi, her courage weakened by three points.
In a word: cowardly.
As the saying goes, one thing is one thing.
However, in front of Nie Su, Li Ke and others, he still wanted to save face.
The dead duck said stiffly: "Pauline, don't run so fast, let's do the same at night, as usual, I will send someone to call you then." ”
After speaking, he said to Nie Su and Li Ke, who blinked: "I'll teach Ke'er to practice swords first, and then I'll go to see Liu Niangzi later." ”
deliberately amplified her voice when she spoke, so that the lady Liu in the room could hear it.
Then he took Li Ke's hand and walked beside the weapon rack in the field: "Ke'er, do you use wooden swords to practice swords now?" ”
"Yes, Aya said that I am young, and I am afraid that I will hurt people by mistake with a real sword."
"Then today I will allow you to use the real one, you can give you the drill I taught you before, and let me see your entry."
"Okay."
Li Ke's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to choose a weapon.
didn't notice it at all, Su Dawei's eyes wandered, and he was quite distracted.
"Brother, Auntie's ......"
"I have everything with me, you can rest assured."
Su Dawei stiffened his head and said forcefully: "I'll teach Ke'er martial arts first, and you can just watch from the side." ”
"Oh."
Nie Su obediently agreed, stepped aside, and touched Hei Saburo's head.
Hei Saburo whimpered, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was afraid of.
Nie Su beckoned, and a white head appeared on his shoulder.
On the other shoulder, a fiery bird flew at some point.
At her feet, there was a small silver-white beast curled up, with a large fluffy tail, curling its body up.
It was the Phantom Sky Fox that Su Dawei snatched from the witch Yukiko that day.
These strange or strange beasts are extremely close to Nie Su.
Su Dawei was in the martial arts arena, watching Li Ke holding a horizontal knife in both hands, slashing horizontally and vertically, picking up and stabbing down.
Although Li Ke likes swordsmanship, Su Dawei feels that it is better to start with Tiance Eight Swords as a foundation.
This time, I practiced martial arts with a real horizontal sword, and the weight was much heavier than usual.
One set down, slightly panting.
Su Dawei nodded slightly.
"The moves are skillful and the practice is good, but you still need to pay attention to your footwork."
"Footwork?"
Su Dawei gradually devoted himself to instructing Li Ke's martial arts.
"Tiance Eight Swords, it is a martial art that the Tang Army must learn, and there is also a set of Nine Palace Steps, I have also passed on the Nine Palace Steps, it is said that it was passed down by the Mermaid Juluo at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although it is simple, but it is infinitely useful."
As he spoke, he walked into the middle of the field and motioned for Li Ke to stand opposite him.
"You see, the so-called Nine Palace Steps, you can imagine the place where you are standing into one grid, the front of you, the front of the left, and the front of the right.
Treat the left and right sides as one square.
Then the left oblique back, the back, the right diagonal back, and then three squares.
In this way, it is like a nine-square grid. ”
Li Ke's eyes widened and he listened word for word.
"The reason why the Nine Palace Steps are so easy to use is that in the battle array, it is necessary to achieve the maximum effect with the smallest movement.
The two soldiers clashed, and the mistake was a thousand miles.
You see, if you're coming straight ahead, I just have to move one step to the left, or to the right, to avoid your blade.
At the same time, because the movement is small, you can launch a counterattack at any time.
You have to keep in mind that the horizontal is straight, and the straight is horizontal.
With this nine squares as the direction, the nine directions can be moved at will depending on the enemy's attack. ”
After Su Dawei finished speaking, he motioned for Li Ke to make a move, and he dodged with nine palace steps.
At first, Li Ke didn't dare to be too fast.
Later, he found that no matter how fast he was, Su Dawei could dodge it first.
Even predict your own movements in advance.
Gradually, Li Ke also became serious, and Tiance Eight Swords used all his strength to slash at Su Dawei as quickly as possible.
He completely forgot that he had a real knife in his hand.
After the tea time, Li Ke finally couldn't hold it anymore, and squatted on the ground and gasped.
"Division...... Master, why, why can't I even touch you, the corners of your clothes? ”
Li Ke's mood was quite depressed.
He has been practicing martial arts for several years.
Usually praised by Li Bo, like Yu Chi Baolin and others come to the house, sometimes they will give a pointer.
also said that Li Ke practiced a little hot.
However, in front of Su Dawei, it was like an ant waving straw at a giant.
It was a sense of powerlessness, and a deep sense of frustration.
Su Dawei stretched out his hand and touched his head: "Ke'er don't be frustrated, you have practiced very well, but the martial arts of the teacher, looking at the entire Chang'an, are among the best, and you can be proud of me for so long." ”
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Su Dawei bragged: "Who do you think Master's previous opponents were, Turkic Wolf Guard, Goguryeo, the aliens of Baekje, the national teacher of Baekje, these people, all fell at the feet of Shiwei, knelt down and sang conquest, do you say that Master is powerful?" ”
"Awesome!" Li Ke's eyes were full of admiration, and his eyes seemed to be lit up with countless little stars.
"Puff~"
Nie Su was on the side, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and giggle.
Brother is really and will brag.
Although what he said was true, why was it so funny.
"Ke'er, what the teacher is teaching you now is prediction, in fact, this is also a kind of experience of facing the enemy.
You see, if you want to stab me, you must first move your shoulder, and then this knife can be stabbed.
Also, in which direction you want to attack, your eyes will inevitably be fixed on the target.
It is based on this that I judge your actions in advance.
Of course, if it is a clever martial artist, he will hide his eyes and even make fake moves.
But it doesn't matter, no matter how you hide, your steps can't be hidden. ”
"Footsteps?"
"If you want to attack me, you must approach me, and as soon as you get close to the realm of the Nine Square Grid, I can make a prediction based on your footwork.
If you want to attack me, draw near to me.
And as soon as you get close to me, it gives me the opportunity to anticipate and fight back against you.
Do you understand? ”
Su Dawei smiled and touched Li Ke's head: "This requires a lot of practice, accumulation of experience, real combat kung fu, the first footwork, footsteps, also known as horse steps, just like the war horse of the cavalry."
Only when these feet are alive can you advance and retreat freely.
Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. ”
"Ke'er understands."
"Very good, there is still a set of swordsmanship here for the teacher......"
"Ahem!"
From the room of Mrs. Liu in the distance, there was a violent coughing sound.
Su Dawei's shoulders shook, and he immediately wilted.
"What's that...... Ke'er, you practice by yourself for a while, and I'll go back when I go. ”
Su Dawei touched Li Ke's head, spread his legs, and trotted towards Liu Niangzi's room.
Behind it, Nie Su couldn't help laughing.
and Hei Saburo is even more amazing, he actually covered his eyes with two dog paws, looking like he didn't see it.
Su Dawei slandered in his heart: Xiao Su, you are too heartless, Brother is working hard for the happiness and future of the two of us, and you actually laughed out loud.
As soon as he entered the room, Su Dawei's head hung lower, and he said in a soft voice: "A-Niang." ”
Mrs. Liu was sitting at the table, and the light came in through the crack in the window, shining on half of her face.
There is no joy or sorrow on the face.
"Coming?"
"Hmm."
"Give you Aya, a stick of incense."
Liu Niangzi said, looking to the side of the room.
Su Dawei followed her gaze and saw at a glance the evil crossbow and the horizontal knife used by Su Saburo before his death, placed on the wooden table.
There is also an incense burner on the wooden table.
Su Saburo died in a foreign land that year, and his body was not found.
In the end, Liu Niangzi used Su Saburo's old clothes to make a crown.
After Su Dawei got Su Saburo's weapon, he used it for a while, because he was afraid of weapon damage, and later he had the money to buy a horizontal knife and a demon pestle, so he handed over his father's old weapon to Liu Niangzi as a hanging.
Su Dawei walked to the table, lit incense, and bowed.
Liu Niangzi said again: "Ami, come here." ”
"Auntie."
"You and Nie Su, what do you want?"
Here it comes!
Su Dawei's breath tightened.
I was inexplicably nervous.
"A-Niang, I ...... with Xiao Su"
"Why do you want to hide such a big thing from your mother?"
"Auntie, I ......"
"Since you have a relationship with Xiao Su, why didn't you set your name earlier, why didn't you hug A-Niang's grandson earlier!"
Liu Niangzi slammed the table and made a loud bang.
Su Dawei's heart was shocked and dumbfounded.
"Auntie, you ......"
"How many relatives I told you in the past, how many matchmakers I found, don't you count in your heart? For the sake of your relatives, for the sake of your mother's heart, for the sake of the Su family's incense, for how many days and nights it is difficult for your mother to sleep, for fear that after a hundred years, there will be no shame to see your father! What about you, you're good, since you have an intention, why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it sooner? ”
Su Dawei was stunned.
He stammered, "Ah Niang, you ...... You mean, you don't object, me with Nie Su? ”
"Why should I object?"
Liu Niangzi's eyebrows tightened, and she scolded Su fiercely: "I want to hold my grandson for my mother, I'm going crazy!" When did you and Nie Su get married? Hurry up and tell Wei Niang! ”
Su Dawei stumbled, and hurriedly held on to the corner of the table to stabilize his figure.
"A-Niang, aren't you afraid...... I'm not afraid that others will chew on the root of their tongues and say that I am with Nie Su, brother and sister ......"
"Brother and sister?"
Liu Niangzi was surprised: "When today's son marries Taizong, he is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" ”
What are you afraid of?
yes, I'm so scared.
There is no blood relationship.
What the hell am I ......
Su Dawei slapped himself on the head and said stupidly: "Auntie, then Nie Su and I can get married?" ”
"Why not?"
Liu Niangzi stood up and grabbed Su Dawei's clothes: "If you lose Nie Su, you will be the first to refuse to agree, if you have no opinion, this marriage, for your mother to handle it, choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage, round the house early, and pass the incense to the Su family......"
Poof!
Outside the window, something was knocked over and made a noise.
Liu Niangzi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and scolded with a smile: "Look, Nie Su is more anxious than you." ”
"Mother......
Su Dawei blushed.
Hearing the squeak of the door, Nie Su rushed in from outside the room like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, hugged Liu Niangzi tightly, buried her neck on Liu Niangzi's shoulder, and said happily and shyly: "Thank you, Auntie, Xiao Su listens to her mother's orders." ”
"Xiao Su, you ......"
Su Dawei blushed and touched his cheek, feeling a little unreal.
I really want to marry Xiao Su in Datang.
Everything is like a dream.
