Chapter 229 Yiren's Military Advisor [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival]
The people of Chang'an were initially dissatisfied with the Chang'an Health Management Regulations.
The Dali Temple is too wide-ranging. Just spitting on the street will result in five lashes and one day of detention. People are afraid to spit and can only swallow it back into their stomachs. They are also afraid to throw away garbage.
After all, even the distinguished academy teachers could not escape punishment, let alone ordinary people.
They don't want to be arrested by the Dali Temple for spitting.
However, as time passed, people gradually felt that this regulation seemed quite good.
The streets of Chang'an are visibly becoming cleaner.
The garbage on the ground is gone, and no one spitts anywhere anymore.
There are several large wooden barrels placed at regular intervals on the street, and people need to throw their garbage into the barrels according to their categories.
Walking on the clean streets, you will naturally feel happy.
As a result, the people's initial aversion to this regulation gradually turned into support and protection.
If there are outsiders who don't understand the rules, they will remind them and help them correct themselves.
Nowadays, spitting on the streets of Chang'an no longer results in flogging or detention.
However, they were also forced to copy the "Chang'an Sanitation Management Regulations" ten times in the confession room and clean the streets for a day as punishment for damaging the environment.
Li Mansion.
Li Nuo had just hypnotized Yiren and taught Fenghuang some painting techniques when Lu Sheng, a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, rushed in and said, "Master Li, something bad has happened. The Grand Master of the Sky Eagle Sect was captured by the Imperial Guards as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. You should go and have a look!"
The Dali Temple has too many things to take care of, and they are all important things.
Not long ago, the Dali Temple officially transferred the power to punish environmental pollution to the guards patrolling the streets.
The leader of the Sky Eagle Sect, along with a dozen of its disciples, rushed from Wuzhou to Chang'an. Not long after they entered the city gate, they were reported by concerned citizens for spitting and were taken to the confession room by the imperial guards.
Upon hearing the news, Li Nuo rushed to the place where he was imprisoned.
When he arrived, the old man was copying the "Chang'an Health Management Regulations". The regulations stipulated that anyone who spits on the streets of Chang'an would be punished by copying the "Regulations" ten times and cleaning the streets for a day.
In Li Nuo's honor, the captain of the guard exempted himself from one day's public service.
Instead of being punished to copy the regulations ten times, you only need to copy them once.
After he finished copying, the captain of the imperial guard said, "Since this is your first offense, and for the sake of Lord Li, I will give you a lighter punishment this time. You can go now. Be careful next time and don't commit the same offense again..."
After leading the Sky Eagle Sect out, Li Nuo said apologetically: "I'm sorry, your sect just arrived in Chang'an and this happened..."
The old man felt even more embarrassed and said, "No, no, no, it's my fault. I didn't expect that after leaving Chang'an for so many years, there are many more rules here than before..."
Li Nuo first led the people from the Sky Eagle Faction to the Ministry of Rites to register.
Everyone in the Sky Eagle Faction received an identity card.
This ID card serves as their room card and meal card.
For this martial arts conference, in addition to the travel expenses that need to be paid by oneself, the court will provide food and accommodation. With this identity card, one can stay in Wulin Village for free and enjoy the delicious food there.
Wulin Village was renamed by the Ministry of Works based on the Examination Yuan.
The smallest examination hall in Chang'an can accommodate more than a thousand people.
Only the second-rate and above sects were invited to this martial arts conference. There are only twenty-eight such sects, and the total number of people from all the sects added up will not exceed five hundred.
Li Nuo led them to Wulin Village and walked to a courtyard.
On the plaque above the gate, there are three big characters "Sky Eagle Sect" written on it.
The martial arts conference would not open for a few days, and the Sky Eagle Faction was the first to arrive. After settling them down, Li Nuo told them that if they had any problems in Chang'an, they could go to the Ministry of Rites to find him, and then left.
This was the first time that everyone, including the Grandmaster of the Sky Eagle Sect, felt valued by the imperial court.
The slight discomfort after entering the city was quickly filled with curiosity and anticipation.
After Li Nuo left, they couldn't wait to go out and experience the prosperity of Chang'an.
At this time, Li Nuo had returned home.
He flexed his right hand into a claw and gestured a few times in the air.
The Eagle Claw School is famous in the martial arts world for its claw skills, and all its power lies in the grasping and pinching of its ten fingers.
The internal skills cultivated by the sect focus on cultivating the acupuncture points and meridians on the arms. One hand is equipped with the powerful Eagle Claw skill, which is extremely strong and skilled in grappling, locking, crushing bones and pressing acupuncture points. When practiced to a high level, splitting gold and stone is a piece of cake.
A sect like this might make simple moves public.
But the internal skills and techniques will definitely not be passed on to outsiders.
At this moment, Li Nuo already had a very deep understanding of the relevant acupoints of Eagle Claw Kung Fu.
Because he was the one who arranged for the enthusiastic citizen who reported them.
In order to ensure a happy life in the future, he arranged many such enthusiastic citizens at every city gate.
Inside the gatehouse of Li's residence, the gatekeeper, Old Huang, looked up and an expression of surprise appeared on his old face.
It seemed like the young master was just randomly grabbing a few times in the air just now, but he actually had 90% of the charm of Eagle Claw Kung Fu.
He practiced boxing and was extremely proficient in palm and claw techniques. The two moves he just made had some elements of the powerful Eagle Claw technique.
He walked out of the gatehouse and said, "Master, can I participate in this martial arts conference? I also want to learn from those masters..."
Li Nuo said: "Of course, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to give you a sign tomorrow."
Of course, the more strong people participating in the conference, the better. It is just a matter of having one more set of clothes or one more brand.
Li Nuo went out for a while, and his wife and An Ning had already returned with Mu'er and Ning'er.
Li Nuo went back to the room and saw that Song Yiren was still sleeping.
He didn't bother her, and didn't even call her to eat.
For her now, nothing is more important than sleeping.
After dinner, An Ning rested for a while. She felt a little bored, so Fenghuang suggested that everyone play sepak takraw together.
As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was unanimously agreed by Mu'er and Ning'er.
Although the lady didn't say anything, as long as she didn't object, it meant she agreed.
The way to play sepak takraw is a bit similar to shuttlecock.
It can be kicked by one person or multiple people. A small ball woven with rattan and wrapped with colorful ribbons is passed back and forth among them.
Mu'er and Ning'er are undoubtedly masters in this field.
They are as light as a swallow, and often play this game, so they can always perform some difficult moves and every pass is accurate.
Needless to say, for my lady, this kind of game that tests physical coordination is a very easy thing.
An Ning is not a martial artist, and although her body coordination is not as good as theirs, she has reached the fourth level of legalism, so this kind of thing is not difficult for her.
What surprised Li Nuo was that Fenghuang could actually keep up with their pace.
Of course, she had no skills and couldn't perform any spectacular moves like flying kicks or overhead kicks, but she could catch every pass and every movement was full of beauty.
Li Nuo was embarrassed to look at Fenghuang and turned his gaze to An Ning.
Watching them play football is very good for his eyes. As his eyeballs move up and down, left and right for a while, he finally doesn't feel as tired as before.
The door behind me was pushed open.
Song Yiren yawned and stretched lazily.
It was a very comfortable sleep.
She had never slept so comfortably in her life.
I didn’t have any dreams. When I woke up, all my fatigue disappeared and I felt full of energy.
When she walked out of the room and saw them playing sepak takraw, she immediately jumped in and joined in.
Li Nuo noticed that it was just an ordinary game, but after Yiren joined in, the originally very relaxed and harmonious scene was quickly broken.
The speed of the sepak takraw became noticeably faster, especially when it was passed between her, An Ning, and her mother. It became more aggressive, less entertaining and more competitive.
However, whenever the sepak takraw was passed to Phoenix, she was always able to slow down the tempo.
The tense atmosphere was also dissipated invisibly.
After playing football for a while, when it got dark, everyone ended the game and went back to their rooms.
Song Yiren was sitting at the table when she suddenly realized something.
She had just had a good sleep and felt full of energy and in great shape.
But how can she get through the night if she gets enough sleep during the day?
Looking at the dark night, she couldn't feel sleepy at all.
Helplessly, she had to walk to another room in the courtyard and knocked gently on the door. Fenghuang, who had already taken a shower and changed into pajamas and was about to go to bed, opened the door and saw Song Yiren and asked, "Yiren, it's so late, what's the matter?"
Song Yiren said: "I can't sleep, I want to talk to you."
Phoenix smiled and said, "Then come in. I'm a little bored too."
After a while, the two sat at the table and chatted for a while. Phoenix said, "I noticed when we were playing football today that you still have resentment towards the princess and your sister..."
Song Yiren sighed deeply.
How could she not feel resentment towards the person who stole her husband and ruined her lifelong happiness?
Fenghuang looked at her and said earnestly, "But they are already the mistresses of the Li family. If you continue to be hostile to them, wouldn't it be difficult for the young master? In the long run, your impression in his mind will also become worse..."
Song Yiren said self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid he doesn't have a good impression of me..."
Fenghuang shook her head and said, "If he didn't have a good impression of you, why would he teach you swordsmanship? He even prepared an identical birthday present for you. This shows that he cares about your feelings. No one would dislike a girl as beautiful and affectionate as you..."
Song Yiren felt a little embarrassed by her praise, and blushed and said, "What do you mean by being affectionate and righteous..."
Fenghuang whispered something in her ear. Song Yiren was stunned for a moment and said, "So he was pretending to be stupid and tricked me that time!"
Phoenix smiled and said, "That was a test. You passed the test, and he was the one who felt guilty. After that, his attitude towards you should have changed a little, right?"
Song Yiren thought about it.
It seems so...
Before that, he was not polite to her at all.
From then on, his attitude towards her seemed to be different from before.
She looked at Phoenix and asked, "What should I do now?"
Phoenix leaned over and whispered something in her ear.
Song Yiren blinked and asked doubtfully, "Is this all right?"
I had lunch with my family during the day, so I only had time to write in the afternoon. I will have another chapter later.
