"Li Qiang, what nonsense did you just talk about? When did I ever say those words to you? And what about the jewels and pearls? You can even make up such things..." Liang Yiji looked at Yan Liqiang with a helpless expression.
After the group finished their meal and came out of Mingyue Tower, Yan Liqiang said goodbye to Liang Yiji and others. Liang Yiji took the opportunity to see Yan Liqiang off to the side of the street and said what he had been holding back for a long time.
"Brother Liang, don't you like Sister Feng Ting?" Yan Liqiang looked at Liang Yiji with the eyes of an experienced person. "Sometimes, even if you don't say it, it will show in your eyes. Sister Feng Ting has taken the initiative to speak today. Brother Liang, what are you hesitating about? Since Brother Liang is embarrassed to say it, then I will say it for you. Brother Liang, you didn't see how you looked just now. When Sister Feng Ting said that she wanted you to accompany her to Jinling, your ears turned red, your heart beat faster, and your blood rushed to your head. This is the first time I see you blushing, Brother Liang. If Brother Liang didn't like Sister Feng Ting, how could he be like this..."
Liang Yijie is a brave man who can kill people without frowning, but such a brave man can become a sullen person when faced with emotional issues. He doesn't know how to confess to the girl he likes, and sometimes he even deliberately avoids the issue. Yan Liqiang had met such a person in his previous life, and Liang Yijie is the first one he has met in this life. Just now at the dinner table, as soon as Feng Ting opened her mouth, Yan Liqiang observed Liang Yijie's expression and knew that Liang Yijie also liked her, but Liang Yijie was too introverted and reserved in his emotions. Facing the girl's bold attack, he didn't know how to respond for a moment and was a little nervous, so Yan Liqiang simply helped Liang Yijie break that layer of paper.
"I really don't know how come you, Li Qiang, seem to understand these things better than us at such a young age?" Liang Yiji shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. Yan Liqiang's words made it completely impossible for him to defend himself.
"It's not that I know a lot, but I know that if two people really love each other, they should say it out loud and not let the other person guess. In this world, there are so many regrets because they didn't say what was in their hearts to each other..."
"I'm just a reckless man with no fixed place to live and wandering around the world. Now I'm following Lord Sun. I may face many unknown dangers at any time and be involved in many fights, just like today. If I lose the duel with Xu Lang today, the result will be my death on the stage. In this case, how can I delay others?" Liang Yiji sighed and said what he was thinking.
"Brother Liang, you are afraid of delaying Sister Feng Ting, but do you know what Sister Feng Ting thinks? Perhaps in Sister Feng Ting's opinion, she doesn't mind what you said. No matter what you do, as long as she can be by your side, as long as you cherish her and like her, she will be satisfied. Being with you, whether it is under the moonlight or in the bloody storm, she is willing to face it side by side with you and experience it together!"
"Just the matter of leaving the capital..." Liang Yiji was still a little hesitant.
"I think what Brother Yin said just now is right. Now in the Imperial Capital, Brother Liang, instead of waiting for others to plot against you, why not temporarily jump out of this circle of right and wrong and come back when the time is right!" Yan Liqiang looked at both sides of the street and lowered his voice a little. "If what Brother Yin said just now is true, I think Lord Sun took the initiative to impeach that person at this time, which means he has already prepared to be impeached and then leave the Imperial Capital. Why didn't Brother Liang take the lead..."
"Ah, why do you think so?" Liang Yiji looked at Yan Liqiang in surprise.
"It's very simple. With the power and influence that person has in the court, it's definitely not something that Lord Sun can impeach with just a memorial. If that's the case, then why did Lord Sun still want to impeach him? Doesn't Lord Sun know that the man's subordinates and lackeys will fight back?" Yan Liqiang smiled wisely. "I think Lord Sun is retreating to advance. He is using the impeachment to leave the capital and take up a post in the local area. With Lord Sun's qualifications and prestige, he will at least be a local official at the level of a governor. Perhaps Lord Sun feels that he can be more flexible in the local area and better coordinate with His Majesty in the capital!"
"Li Qiang, I really don't know what's wrong with your head!"
"Of course I'll let it grow naturally!" Yan Liqiang laughed, "Brother Liang, you don't have to send me off. I'll go back to Luyuan by myself. Sister Fengting and the others are still waiting for you there!"
"Well, you should be more careful. The guy named Gao in the classroom that day wanted to involve you. The master has stirred up a hornet's nest in Ganzhou this time. They are targeting the people around the master to scare the monkeys. You have been with the master for some time and have made contributions. Be careful that they may target you!" Liang Yiji warned seriously.
Yan Liqiang smiled and said, "Brother Liang, don't worry. I am just an insignificant person. I am probably not taken seriously by them. Besides, I usually stay in the Deer Garden and rarely come out. Even if they want to cause trouble for me, it is impossible. I will be careful. Brother Liang, take care of yourself too!"
"Okay, take care of yourself too!"
"Well, see you next time!" Yan Liqiang waved to Liang Yiji coolly, and then strode away coolly.
Liang Yijie stared at Yan Liqiang's back for a while, and his feelings towards Yan Liqiang became more complicated and profound. At this age, Liang Yijie has never seen anyone who can compare with Yan Liqiang, especially Yan Liqiang's insight into the ways of the world and his unique way of dealing with things. Sometimes Liang Yijie even feels that under Yan Liqiang's young appearance, there is like another person.
…
After leaving Liang Yiji, Yan Liqiang did not delay in the city any longer, but walked directly out of the city, preparing to return to Luyuan. Liang Yiji's experience on the life and death stage today made Yan Liqiang feel the undercurrents of the imperial capital and the cunning and treacherousness of his opponents. At this time, it is actually the best strategy to stay in Luyuan and concentrate on practicing and making a fortune in silence. As for the competition in the imperial capital, let them compete. Anyway, in Yan Liqiang's impression, it seems that until four years later, the emperor in the imperial capital is still the emperor, the prime minister is still the prime minister, and the fundamental pattern has not changed much. It's like a long-distance race. One side is deeply rooted and the other side is ambitious. The winner cannot be determined in a short time. In these four years, his own strength has long been so strong that he doesn't know how strong it is. At that time, why should he be afraid of anyone!
Yan Liqiang returned to Luyuan smoothly along the way. Just as he was at the gate of Luyuan, he saw Little Lizi beside Eunuch Liu looking at the road. When he saw him coming back, Little Lizi seemed to be relieved.
"Captain Yan, you are finally back. Eunuch Liu asked me to wait for you here. I will take you to see him directly when you come back!"
The soldiers at the gate of the Deer Garden were envious and jealous of Yan Liqiang when they saw that Eunuch Liu actually sent Little Li Zi to the gate of the Deer Garden to wait for Yan Liqiang to come back. In the Deer Garden, Eunuch Liu had never been polite to an ordinary captain. Captain Yan was indeed a popular figure around Eunuch Liu.
Yan Liqiang followed Xiao Lizi to Eunuch Liu's yard. On the way, Yan Liqiang asked Xiao Lizi what Eunuch Liu wanted to see him about. Xiao Lizi shook his head, not knowing why Eunuch Liu wanted to see Yan Liqiang.
Soon, Yan Liqiang met Eunuch Liu.
"Li Qiang, do you want to learn spearmanship and archery?"
The first question Eunuch Liu asked when they met made Yan Liqiang stunned.
"I don't know what the father-in-law means?"
"Ahem..." Eunuch Liu coughed twice, raised his orchid finger, gently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "The other day I saw you practicing the basics of spearmanship, and you have already reached some level. It is time for you to practice real spearmanship. And although your bowmanship is already good, it seems that no one has taught you. You can still polish it and make some more changes. So I would like to ask you if you want to find an expert to teach you about spearmanship and bowmanship?"
"Need I say more? Of course I have. As a cultivator, who wouldn't want such an opportunity?" Yan Liqiang answered immediately.
Eunuch Liu smiled triumphantly, his delicate old face instantly lively, "It's good that you want to learn, our family will introduce two teachers to you..."
"Where is the teacher?"
"Do you remember when you first came here, my family told you that the hill behind the Deer Park Archery Range was a forbidden area and that you were not allowed to enter without permission?"
"Remember!" Yan Liqiang.
"Your teacher is in the mountain behind the archery range in Deer Park..."
