Small antique market in the east of the city.

This street is newly opened, and most of them sell small antiques, as well as the Four Treasures of the Study, calligraphy, paintings, gold and jade.

Ge Qing and the imperial guards followed Zhao Lan to buy a pen holder. Of course, given little Ge Qing's courage, he wouldn't dare to bring just such a few people to go shopping with the princess... Li Yan and a small group of Imperial City troops were also traveling with him. of men and horses, and Fang Tianyue who didn’t know how to follow them.

He Yihang took Shen Shaoxi back to Black Wind City. Long Qiaoguang and Ouyang were both going back to Kaifeng, but they hadn't arrived yet. Long Qiaoguang should have been on the way, and Ouyang probably hadn't left yet.

Since the previous case of the Imperial City Army, the three deputy commanders have stopped making trouble and have changed their minds and turned over a new leaf. Now they are all hard-working young men. So Miao Bacai packed up and went back with all his troops to replace Ouyang Shaozheng.

However, Li Yan still stayed in Kaifeng Mansion.

On the one hand, Li Yan helped temporarily manage the Imperial City Army. On the other hand, the Demon King mentioned something to Zhao Pu not long ago, saying that he wanted Li Yan to worship Gongsun as his teacher and learn something.

Zhao Pu was naturally happy. Although Gongsun didn't know martial arts, he was knowledgeable, and it was knowledge that ordinary people couldn't learn. But he might have to live in Kaifeng City for a long time, and he wouldn't be able to go back to the border for the time being. Of course, the border is now very peaceful, and There is no need for so many generals to stay there, the opportunity is rare...

When Zhao Pu found Li Yan and asked about it, Li Yan was so happy that she ran to become a disciple that night.

Seeing that Li Yan was willing to stay, Dean Lin of Taixue University invited her to occasionally give lectures to the college students. Li Yan was the collective god of the girls in Lanhui Academy, and Taixue became a sensation.

At this moment, Yiyi and Zhao Lan were holding Li Yan's hands while shopping, and they were calling each other cute.

Behind the three beauties were Ge Qing and Fang Tianyue.

Because both of them were from the Tianshan sect and were brothers, they got to know each other very quickly.

Since Fang Tianyue studied under the White Dragon King, he may have a particularly suitable talent. In addition, the Tianshan sect has a good foundation in kung fu, and his martial arts has improved rapidly.

He is a very smart child. In addition to practicing martial arts every day, he often comes to Taixue to listen to classes. He is very familiar with everyone in Taixue. Moreover, everyone found that Xiaofang also likes to run to Gongsun's yard. Gongsun When Li Yan was explaining formations, he would move a stool and sit aside to listen. Maybe he was interested in the formations.

The Imperial City Army sometimes does some drills and competitions, and Xiao Fang seems to be very interested in them and always follows them to watch.

This made Zhao Pu a little concerned, thinking that this kid might want to join the army, so that would be nice...

One night, Zhao Pu and Gongsun were chatting about Fang Tianyue's study of the art of war, when the fourth boy beside him suddenly made a "poof" sound.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu both looked at the small dumpling that suddenly "leaked" and were curious - what are you enjoying?

The fourth boy blinked his big eyes and asked mysteriously, "Do you want to hear some gossip?"

Zhao Pu and Gongsun looked at each other and looked at Tuanzi, "Is there also gossip here?"

"Hehehe." The fourth son shook his head, "Xiao Fang just didn't go to learn the art of war."

Zhao Pu was puzzled, "If he doesn't learn the art of war, why would he go to Gongsun and the Imperial City Army?"

"Besides the art of war, besides the art of war, do you, Madam and the Imperial City Army, have anyone else?" asked the fourth son.

Neither Gongsun nor Zhao Pu understood, "Who is there?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." The fourth son looked at the two of them helplessly, "There is Sister Li Yan!"

After Zhao Pu and Gongsun were stunned for a moment, they turned into shock.

Gongsun approached his son and asked curiously, "Does Xiaofang have a crush on Li Yan?"

Zhao Pu touched his chin, "Oh, can we use a beauty trick?"

Before he finished speaking, Gongsun kicked him, "How big are you, Beauty Trap? There's a seven or eight year age difference between the two of you!"

"What's wrong with being seven or eight years old?" Zhao Pu crossed his arms and nodded, "Hahaha, I'm a bit interesting, but this age is indeed the age where it's easy to fall in love at first sight."

"It's true that it's love at first sight!" Xiao Sizi clapped her little hands, "But it's not a recent thing!"

Gongsun and Zhao Pu were both puzzled - wasn't it recently? When was that? They didn't know each other for long...

"We should have met him when he followed the White Dragon King to Black Wind City, right?" Zhao Pu still recalled that they met at that time...

"It's been ten years!" Xiao Sizi said in surprise.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu stared at him for a while, and then both made a "poof" sound.

Zhao Pu straightened his lips, "Isn't he Fang Tianyue only thirteen or fourteen years old? He was your age ten years ago. He knew nothing but fell in love at first sight..."

The Ninth Prince was so quick to talk that he didn't notice that Gongsun kept winking at him. After he finished speaking, he realized that it was "irreversible" and was hit by the fourth child with a bean bag. "Who is three or four years old? He is no longer three or four years old!"

Zhao Pu quickly peeled the oranges for Tuanzi. Gongsun Gang changed the topic and asked, "Fang Tianyue has a crush on Li Yan when he was three or four years old? What happened?"

The little fourth son chewed the orange peeled by Zhao Pu and continued, "Little Fangfang's grandfather was a former colleague of Sister Li Yan's father."

Zhao Pu touched his chin, "Uh... Li Yan's father is Li Tong, a colleague. If her surname is Fang... Fang Mu?"

The fourth boy nodded, "That seems to be the name."

Gongsun felt that he had heard this name before and asked Zhao Pu, "Is he also an official in the court?"

"Fang Mu did serve in the army for a period of time before, and was later promoted to serve in the Ministry of War..." Zhao Pu touched his chin, "I heard Bago talk about this man before. He is extremely smart and very humorous, but he is a bit out of tune.

The late emperor originally planned to let him serve as a Taiwei, but he actually said that his son was too cute when he was born, so he wanted to go home to take care of the child... and then resigned. He would invite him when his son grew up, and said that his grandson

The newborn is so cute and I have to take care of my grandson..."

Gongsun was a little speechless - is he a grandfather with this style? And... it seems that it has been hard to find a Taiwei for a day or two...

"Speaking of the Fang family..." Zhao Pu seemed to have remembered something, "The old Fang family has produced many talents. Fang Mu has several sons, all of whom are both civil and military, but none of them are officials. His grandson actually entered Tianshan Mountain.

I never expected to send Xuewu. Now that I think about it, when Fang Mu suddenly resigned, it seems that it was the time when the Duke of the Seven Kingdoms was expelled..."

Gongsun asked, "Then, does Fang Mu know you and forget your worries?"

Zhao Pu thought for a while and shook his head at Gongsun - he didn't know clearly, but since they were officials in the same dynasty, it wouldn't be surprising to know each other.

"So because they are family friends, Fang Tianyue and Li Yan have known each other for a long time?" Zhao Pu and Gongsun continued to inquire about gossip with the fourth son.

"Hmm... It's not like we know each other. We said we met once when we were young, but we haven't seen each other since. Xiao Fangfang remembers sister Li Yan, but she doesn't seem to remember him."

Zhao Pu and Gongsun thought about it and felt that it was right. Tianyue should have been a little dumpling ten years ago... It was normal not to recognize him.

"Yes, little Fangfang joined the Tianshan Sect because of Sister Li Yan!" The fourth son became sleepy when he mentioned these things, and started gossiping with Gongsun and Zhao Pu, "When Fangfang was four years old, he was taken care of by his grandfather.

When I went to a friend’s house, he said that because he was very cute and smart when he was young and could recite a lot of poems, his grandfather kept taking him to visit his old friends.”

Gongsun and Zhao Pu both shook their heads helplessly - they felt that the most reliable children were surrounded by unreliable parents.

"Ten years ago, Li Yan would have been hiding at home pretending to be a lady." Zhao Pu calculated, "It was only about twelve..."

"Little Fangfang said that he got lost when he was playing alone in Li Mansion. He followed a butterfly to the garden and saw Sister Li Yan who was placing a flag on a large sand table."

The fourth son was so happy that he held his face and shook his legs. "Little Fangfang said that there was a competition going on in Li Mansion at that time, and each of my sister's four brothers led a team to grab the flag. Sister Li Yan followed quietly.

Watching the competition field, after memorizing the terrain, I came back to set up the sand table and think about tactics... Xiao Fangfang climbed up on the stool, looked at the sand table for a while, and then asked, 'Why don't you go grab the flag?'"

"Oh?" Zhao Pu held his chin and found it interesting, "Li Yan's sandbox is still very good, but those days were probably the most difficult for her when she had to pretend not to know martial arts. But Li Yan told me that her disguise

It has always been successful, but it was only discovered by a child."

"Yeah!" The fourth son also nodded, "So when little Fangfang asked, sister Li Yan said very frustratedly that only boys can participate, but girls cannot go."

…

"Why can't girls go?"

"Because girls can't practice kung fu."

"But you know martial arts."

"Do you think I can do martial arts?"

"Well! My sister is better than them all!"

"How did you know?"

"Look at the eyes."

"Eye? What's wrong with my eyes? Is there any flaw?"

Li Yan was about to look in the mirror, but her sleeve was grabbed by the little boy.

Li Yan looked back, and the little boy smiled proudly, "I caught you!"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment and immediately understood, "Oh! You deceived me!"

"Sister, where did you learn martial arts? Where can you learn martial arts that are different from everyone else's?"

"Well... go to the Tianshan Sect. You are laying the foundation at this time. It is best to go to the Tianshan Sect to lay the foundation."

"Tianshan Sect..."

"Alas..." Xiao Liyan squatted beside the small bench, holding her chin with one hand and touching the head of the little boy on the bench with the other, "It's great... I wish I could go too. I'm so envious that my brothers can go to the war."

ah."

"Sister can go too."

"Are you going to dress up as a man like Mulan?"

"No need! Just go like this!" The child pointed to the sand table nearby and said, "Go with that... and become a general!"

Li Yan looked at the sand table, turned around and pinched the face of the little dumpling in front of her with a smile, "Which idiot marshal would want a female general?"

"My grandpa once said that most of a person's life is actually spent waiting. Before waiting, you must be well prepared." The little boy, who was as big as a kid, stood on tiptoes on the bench and patted Li Yan on the head, "

Some things will happen as long as you wait. If it hasn't happened yet, it's not because it's impossible, but because you still have to wait! Just wait for that stupid marshal who wants you to be a general to show up, and that's it!"

Li Yan was stunned for a while, then reached out to hold the child's face, looked closely at it, and said with emotion, "Ha, it is indeed the child of Uncle Fang's family. This little kid is really not ordinary smart!"
