After this incident, Zhao Jin also became extremely cautious. He knew that he was not much smarter than people of this era, and as a ten-year-old child, adults would pay attention to some of your words, but most of the time they still thought that you were just

A child.

Everything that follows is normal, life is not that exciting, life is so boring, and the same things are repeated every day.

Study hard for a month or two, and exercise for dozens of days, but there is no obvious effect. If you continue to persist for six months or a year, the effect will be reflected.

As the amount of exercise increases, so does the amount of food he eats every day. Zhao Jin grows rapidly. After a year, he will need to change his clothes. The clothes he used to wear were too small. He Cuihua complained constantly, saying that after practicing martial arts, he could

There is too much food and clothing at home.

Correspondingly, the strength and speed have improved. Zhao Zhenxing was surprised more than once during training, saying that Zhao Jin's results after one year of training were as good as others' one and a half years or more.

Although the daily training items always changed, they were still boring. Simple horse steps, assassinations and strength training turned into assassinations and routines, and even a battle with Zhao Zhenxing.

The routine is also a simple combination of moves, including stabbing, drawing, and chopping. In addition to these, Zhao Zhenxing often teaches some moves that have nothing to do with spears, such as how to pull out a short weapon when two people are close, and the spear is not in hand.

Finally, how to use short weapons to kill people, then the Japanese short sword hanging on the wall came into play.

It is not easy for a martial artist to master a martial art, and everything is impossible. The short weapon skills taught by Zhao Zhenxing are very simple, but Zhao Jin can feel that they are very practical. They can win in martial arts competitions and kill people.

After using a wooden pole for a year, Zhao Jin began to use a normal spear when practicing martial arts. He grew taller, but the normal spear was still too long and out of proportion to his body. It wasn't until he was fifteen that he

Totally in tune.

In addition to the improvement of his body and martial arts skills, Zhao Jin became more and more familiar with this era and learned more and more about his surroundings.

If you fully understand this era, you can recall more things from that life, corroborate each other, and record everything that needs to be recorded. Paper and pen are no longer so easy, but with Wang Zhaojing by your side, these things become easy.

On the other hand, Wang Zhaojing was surprised that Zhao Jin needed pen and paper, and the things he recorded still existed in the semi-abandoned shop.

Mu Shulan lived in Zhao Jin's house until February of the following year. Her father had not come for so long, which made everyone worried.

The little girl who had been laughing heartlessly all day also began to secretly wipe her tears. He Cuihua said carelessly that it didn't matter if she lived here for the rest of her life. In private, Zhao Jin heard He Cuihua and Zhao Zhentang discussing how to marry the little girl into their home.

Name.

On February 15th, Mu Shulan's father came to pick her up. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Jin also noticed the disappointed look on his mother's face.

But since then, the Mu family seems to have changed a bit. The person who picks up Mu Shulan every day is no longer Mr. Mu, but two men in their forties. These two men have a calm demeanor and obviously have martial arts skills.

appearance.

From then on, Mu Shulan came to the goods yard less and less time, appearing once every two days on average, but she often found time to watch Zhao Jin practice martial arts and go to Zhao's house for dinner.

The little girl had always been clothed in commoners, but later she gradually began to wear silks and satins, and often wore gold, silver, and jade jewelry, and her family seemed to be improving rapidly.

Mu Shulan has also changed as she grows older. She is really the kind of girl who becomes more and more beautiful and charming. She also has a temperament in her movements. This temperament is very weird and sometimes looks weak.

Charming, sometimes holy and cool.

However, these two states were revealed inadvertently, and most of the time it was still the same, but the young man in the goods yard who was already fascinated was fascinated. Wang Zhaojing could not help but recite "A fair lady, a gentleman is a good man."

Although Mu Shulan remained the same most of the time when she was around Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin noticed that the little girl had changed. Mu Shulan seemed to have received some special training, and there were changes in her body, speech, and behavior.

It looks touching, but Zhao Jin always feels it is artificial.

Moreover, Zhao Jin and his group are fifteen years old, and Mu Shulan is also twelve years old. The boy is fine, but the girl is already at an age where she has to stay at home and cannot show herself in public, but the little girl is still the same as usual.

Zhao Jin could occasionally see Mr. Mu on the street. Mr. Mu, who originally looked a little different, was even more special. A middle-aged man who had always been a solitary person became surrounded by people and was full of grandeur. Some wealthy people in Xuzhou City

All the wealthy people greeted him politely, and Zhao Jin also noticed that among the people surrounding Mr. Mu, there were at least five warriors who looked like guards.

So grand, what does the Mu family do? Zhao Jin traced the origins and found that these changes seemed to originate from the twelfth lunar month of the thirty-eighth year of Wanli to February of the following year. What must have happened during the period when Mr. Mu disappeared

.

He Cuihua was still enthusiastic about Mu Shulan, and would praise the little girl from time to time for looking like a fairy, but she never mentioned the little girl as her daughter-in-law again.

Another thing is strange. Even though the Mu family seems to be prosperous, Mu Shulan still often comes to the Zhao family for dinner.

Because Chen Sheng started practicing martial arts early and had a good family background, he was always taller and stronger than his peers. That is to say, Zhao Jin was almost as good as Zhao Jin after he had trained well. However, Sun Dalei was also of the same age and was even taller than Chen Sheng. This was purely a special case.

The two parties have been in contact for a long time and have a deep understanding of each other. Zhao Jin knows that Chen Sheng spends as much time practicing martial arts every day as he does. This discovery makes Zhao Jin feel a sense of urgency.

It's strange to say that Chen Sheng practices like this every day, but his weight has not been reduced by half. It only affects Chen Sheng's flexibility and speed.

The weapon used by Chen Sheng began to become a real wooden sword in the third year, and became a real sword at the age of fourteen. Only then did Zhao Jin realize that the single sword was not a Japanese sword. It had a long handle and a long blade.

Behind it, the mouth was wide and the blade was quite heavy. Zhao Jin finally realized that the single sword did not originate from the Japanese sword, but got its name because it resembled a grain seedling.

Perhaps because of his focus on martial arts, Chen Sheng became more and more calm and had a unique demeanor in his movements.

According to Wang Zhaojing, people like Chen Sheng are outstanding even in the capital. Zhao Jin also knew that the Chen family had a plan. Chen Sheng's grandfather wanted Chen Sheng to take part in the imperial examination, to be a martial arts scholar, and to be a Chinese martial arts examiner.

Chen Sheng's father hoped that Chen Sheng would inherit the position of servant in the Yamen. After weighing it, he decided to stay in Xuzhou Yamen and wait to take over as a police officer.

As for Chen Sheng's younger brother Chen Hong, I don't know if he was trained in refereeing competitions and distributing prizes. Now he has learned abacus and bookkeeping from the family accountant and shopkeeper, and is preparing to take over the family's charcoal factory business in the future.

The two brothers proudly told the teenagers that in the past, their family thought that they were wasting their money and not doing anything serious in the martial arts competition. Now they say that thanks to the martial arts competition, they have learned a lot of real skills.

Over the past few years, the people in Xuzhou got to know the Wang family better and better, and Zhao Jin learned more and more. The combination of the two finally clarified the matter of Wang Zhaojing's father's return from the capital.

The reason is really the most unlikely one. If you want to be an official, you won’t do it. Wang Youshan passed the imperial examination as a young man and had a smooth career. Wang Youshan was born in Xuzhou, where the martial arts is prosperous but the literary spirit is very weak. Going out in a place like this

, less of the shortcomings of a literati, more of a strong and open temperament.
