Chapter 5, Cunning and Deceitful.

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

I see that An Fuxian's nephew is not young anymore. I intend to recommend him to serve as a banner officer under my command. What do you think about it?

"Nephew, you are too polite. Your health has just turned for the better, but don't exert yourself too much, lest something happens and your father and uncle blame me." Luo Yi chuckled.

This matter is settled. Tomorrow, my nephew will come to report to me. Luo Yi no longer asked for Wu Kui and Wu Liang's opinions and decided on Wu Anfu's future.

A middle-aged man in his forties sat in the pavilion in the backyard, wearing a light purple robe with a fierce dragon embroidered on his chest. He wore a pointed hat, had a fair complexion, a thin black mustache, and his eyes shone brightly, clearly a formidable character. In front of him was a table of food and wine. Upon seeing Wu Anfu, he smiled and said, "Nephew, why haven't you come to see me for so long?" Wu Anfu noticed that he bore a striking resemblance to Luo Cheng in appearance and knew that he was the Prince of Beiping, Luo Yi. He quickly bowed and said, "Nephew Wu Anfu pays his respects to Your Highness." "Get up, get up," Luo Yi said warmly. If Wu Anfu didn't know that Luo Yi was always plotting to eliminate the Wu family, he would have thought that he was a kind and respectable elder.

Luocheng ordered his servant to clean up the Yanwu Hall and invited Wu Anfu to have tea inside. Wu Anfu followed Luocheng to the inner hall where they were served with tea and snacks. After discussing their marksmanship for a while, Luocheng felt that Wu Anfu was not unpleasant to be with. Luocheng thought that he didn't have any playmates in Beiping Prefecture, and although the Wu family was not on good terms with his own family, they didn't have to openly fall out. If he could open up a gap through Wu Anfu and win over the Wu family, wouldn't his Lu family be in charge of Beiping Prefecture in the future? Thinking of this, he became more polite to Wu Anfu. Wu Anfu also had the same idea and wanted to make friends with the Lu family. It was necessary to have the support of Beiping Prefecture to conquer the world. With their help, it would be much easier. Under the deliberate friendship, Wu Anfu flattered and praised Luocheng. He had been in the underworld for many years and had the ability to adapt to any situation. Although he despised flattery, he was still pleased with Wu Anfu's words. Luocheng was only fifteen years old, one year younger than Wu Anfu, and had just celebrated his birthday. He was still young and naive, unlike Wu Anfu who had experienced two lifetimes and was more cunning. In a short time, Wu Anfu had made Luocheng laugh and feel comfortable. He thought that Wu Anfu was a person worth making friends with.

After playing with two sets of guns, Wu Anfu stopped his footsteps, performed a salute, remained calm and composed. All of this is the result of practicing gun fitness for over a month.

I heard someone say that Cheng Er asked you to come back for a comparison, I don't know how the competition is going? Luo Yi greeted the two to sit down, naturally there were servants who brought bowls and chopsticks, and poured full glasses of fine wine.

No problem, you can just demonstrate a few gestures to my father for me," Luo Cheng said with interest.

How? Would he be wronged under my command? Ruo Yi's words were half joking and half serious. Wu Kui and Wu Liang's hearts trembled. After all, Ruo Yi was the Beiping King of the Great Sui, and they were always his subordinates. Moreover, his words were well-intentioned and difficult to refuse both emotionally and logically. They knew that Ruo Yi had ulterior motives, but they could not speak up. Wu Kui and Wu Liang's hearts trembled.

Luo Yi asked the servant to go and welcome them. Before long, Wu Kui and Wu Liang arrived at the backyard. Upon seeing that Wu Anfu was safe and sound, having a conversation with Luo Yi and Luo Cheng as father and son, the suspended heart finally settled down.

"Young master, His Highness heard that Master Wu has arrived, and specifically invites you to the garden for a chat." A servant hurriedly reported to Luo Cheng in the hall.

Sixteen years old. Wu Kuidao.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yi applauded and said, "What a talented Wu Anfu! He has truly brought glory to your Wu family. Wu Kui and Wu Liang have raised a good child!" While he spoke, he secretly worried about his own son, Luo Cheng. Although he was talented and had exceptional martial arts skills, the child from the Wu family was also remarkable. If a few more years passed, his abilities would likely be even greater. It seemed that he needed to hasten his plan to deal with the Wu family.

Young Lord Xiaohou's marksmanship is godlike, my young nephew is no match for him. - Wu Anfu Dao.

Lo Yi arranged for Wu Kui and Wu Liang to sit down and talked about the scene just now, praising Wu Anfu again. The words from the enemy's mouth were surprisingly agreeable to Wu Kui and Wu Liang's ears. They burst into laughter and joy as if they were old friends. If one didn't know their relationship, they might think they were two old friends.

How old is Anfu's nephew this year? Luo Yi asked after chatting for a while.

Luo Yi Ting and Tushu spoke fluently, without any mistakes or omissions. He wondered if the rumor on the street about Wu Anfu changing his nature after being submerged in water was true. Although he was doubtful, he had no choice but to give a thumbs up and say, "Well said, indeed someone who understands guns. You speak so fluently, I wonder how skilled you are at handling them?" Wu Anfu smiled and replied, "You'll see when I demonstrate." After finishing speaking, he bowed and took the flower spear from a family member beside him. He first shook the spear to create a floral pattern, and then, while playing with the spear, he said, "The spear can block, grab, and stab. It can also point, collapse, shake, twist, and knock. It can pick, flick, entangle, and dance with the flower. The key is to be balanced in all four aspects, namely, head, shoulders, feet, and spear. In addition, there are three points that need to be aligned: the tip of the nose, the tip of the foot, and the tip of the spear. When stabbing with the spear, it must go straight in and out. It should be straight, accurate, agile, and fast. Only then can the power from the waist reach the tip of the spear, and when played well, it is like a hidden dragon emerging from the water. Stabbing with the spear can be divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, with the middle level being the most effective. It is said, 'The middle level spear is the king, and it is the most difficult to defend against a point in the middle.' " Wu Anfu practiced while speaking.

" Wu Anfu continued to practice while saying, "The more you use the spear, the faster and better you become." Wu Anfu said that practicing and playing with the spear do not hinder each other. Luo Cheng watched and exclaimed in admiration.

Wu Anfu said, "You must be eager for me to exert myself excessively and die, but on the surface, you say, 'Thank you, Lord Wang, for your concern.'" Luo Yi casually asked about his health, then turned the conversation, saying, "I heard that my nephew's marksmanship is deeply rooted in the family tradition and is quite remarkable. I wonder if you could demonstrate a few moves for me?" "How could I dare to show off in front of you," Wu Anfu hurriedly replied. He knew that Luo Yi was a cunning and treacherous man. Without understanding his intentions, he dared not wield a knife or gun in front of him, for fear of being framed with a crime like Lin Chong mistakenly intruding into the White Tiger Hall.

Ah! What is this?" Wu Kuiwu Liang didn't expect Luo Yi to say this, and they were both stunned.

May it please Your Highness, General Wu Kui and Deputy General Wu Liang from the Beiping Prefecture have come to pay their respects. As Luo Yizheng was pondering, a servant came to report. The news of Wu Anfu being taken back to the palace by Luo Cheng had already been reported to Wu Kui and Wu Liang. The two brothers were afraid that Luo Yizheng might secretly harm Wu Anfu, so they hurriedly came on horseback.

Luoyi wants to see me? Wu Anfu secretly complained. After chatting for a while, he also got a general understanding of Luo Cheng's personality. This kid seems cool on the surface, but actually doesn't have much scheming. It seems like he enjoys playing around, and as long as you use some means, it's not difficult to win him over. Luoyi, that old man, must not be a simple person, but if he wants to see me, I can't just ignore it, right? With a nervous mood, Wu Anfu followed Luo Cheng to the backyard.

Wu Anfu dared not refuse Luo Yi's request, thinking to himself, "You surely wouldn't kill me, would you?" With a grit of his teeth, he said, "Then let me show my incompetence." "Wait," Luo Yi stopped him and asked, "How many types of spears are there, and what kind of spear do you use?" After he finished speaking, he stroked his beard and smiled faintly. In fact, Luo Yi wanted Wu Anfu to practice spear not to harm him, but because he heard that his spear skills were good and wanted to humiliate him and make him look bad. Everyone in Beiping Prefecture knew that although Wu Anfu's spear skills were good, he lacked the knowledge, so asking him to practice spear was fine, but asking him to diligently study the ways of spear skills was really difficult for him.

We brothers also joined the army at the age of fifteen. Wu Kuiwu Liang also sighed and said, seeing that Wu'an mhetushu.comcom has already turned sixteen, they really feel old.

Luoyi's idea is well executed, but how can one know if this Wuanfu is the same as that Wuanfu. Since practicing with the gun, Wuanfu has relearned the general principles of marksmanship. Therefore, he immediately replied, "There are flower guns, pen guns, big guns, awl guns, hammer guns, shuttle guns, pointed guns, Taiping pen guns, grasping guns, double-headed guns, double-headed double guns, hook sickle guns, four-cornered guns, arrow-shaped guns, curved blade guns, ring guns, crutch guns, bamboo guns, long top guns, crow's neck guns, plain wood guns, green sinking guns, solid iron guns, dragon head guns, dragon knife guns, tiger tooth guns, tiger head guns, dragon and phoenix guns, single hook guns, double hook guns, iron hook guns, willow leaf guns, snake sickle guns, snake tail umbrella guns, and resisting horse guns. The gun I use is seven feet long, with a steel gun head. The horse mane gun tassel, the wrought iron gun handle, is a double-headed flower gun, nicknamed the two-headed snake." He said all this in one breath, without any hesitation.

Upon seeing that things were not going well, Wu Anfu quickly said, "My lord, please understand that my nephew is still young and his health has not yet fully recovered. Let's wait a few more years before considering joining the army." "After you finished your gun routine just now, you didn't even breathe heavily. Is that a sign of weakness?" Luo Yi said unhappily, "It seems that I cannot accommodate a hero like you here." "I dare not," replied Wu Anfu. In his heart, he cursed Luo Yi for causing him trouble. He blamed himself for showing off and now being outsmarted by Luo Yi. What should he do now?

Oh, I'm already sixteen years old. When I was fifteen, I left my hometown and started wandering around the world. Luo Yiyoyu said, seemingly recalling the life of a young man who was full of vigor and righteousness.
