Changshan, Zhending County.

There are several wooden houses on a flat open space on the mountainside.

There are five people in front of the wooden house, three young and two old.

"Junior Brother Tong, these three seedlings are good, especially the youngest one." Zhou Tong said to the old man in gray beside him.

"Of course, these are all my carefully selected apprentices." Tong Yuan laughed.

"I also took in five apprentices." Zhou Tong put his right hand behind his back.

Five?

It seems like there are two more than me.

Tong Yuan's laughter stopped.

He coughed twice, "The more apprentices, the better."

After overshadowing this topic, Tong Yuan asked, "But what makes me happy is that you are finally willing to come back from the north. The dragon vein of the overseas hanging island is blocked, and the world is lacking. It is even more difficult to practice there. I have been there once."

"It is not necessarily a bad thing to cut off the road ahead." Zhou Tong said. "Just just as you and I practiced guns under the waterfall when we were young, we have consolidated our foundation and accumulated strength. I am confident that we can enter the spiritual refining process within three years."

Tong Yuan was naturally happy for his senior brother.

Turning to look at the three disciples who were practicing guns, Tong Yuan suddenly frowned.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"Zhang Ren, come here."

Three disciples who were practicing guns there secretly glanced over. The oldest of them, who looked about 20 years old, put down their guns and walked up strode.

"Master, uncle." Zhang Ren saluted the two of them, then secretly glanced at the master and lowered his head.

"Do you know why I called you over?"

Tong Yuan's tone was a bit stern.

After the silence film, Zhang Ren said, "The disciple knows."

"You and your mother fled to Zhending County. When I saw that you were not solemn and brave enough to protect your mother, I accepted you as your disciple to pass on your marksmanship. You have been working very hard, but your gun has been in chaos in recent months."

Zhang Ren's shoulders trembled, and his drooping head could not see his expression clearly.

"It's not your guns, it's your heart! I once said that you shouldn't go down the mountain when your gunshot skills are not yet perfect, but you have been wanting to go out recently."

Tong Yuan scolded harshly.

"Master, I have promised my mother that she would let her see me as a high-ranking official in her lifetime. Half a year ago, my mother fell into trouble and I was worried that she would not see that day." Zhang Ren said with difficulty.

In his heart, there are only two people in this world who are closest.

One is his mother, and the other is the master who helped his orphan and widowed mother when he was most helpless.

Tong Yuan was silent, and only then did he realize that there was still this hidden truth behind him.

He wanted to say something but said something to his mouth. Filial piety was the first priority. He could not find a reason to refute Zhang Ren did this.

Finally, I had to sigh, "Well, although your marksmanship is one step short of success, as long as you don't meet top experts or people who can crack your marksmanship, you will not be in danger of your life. Since that's the case, then go down the mountain. When you go to other places, you can claim to be my disciple of Tong Yuan."

"Master" Zhang Ren knelt on the ground and choked.

"If you want to be an official, I have a place to go here." Zhou Tong said with a slight look on his face.

Tong Yuan looked at his senior brother and realized it immediately.

My senior brother was addicted to the official path in his early years, so there should be a way to do this.

but

"Senior brother, this is no longer Song territory, it is already the territory of the Central Han Dynasty. Your path back then may not work."

"It's not the Central Han Dynasty, but the Xinsong in the north. I have a disciple who has a family background and is now recruiting soldiers and horses. His grandfather was once the governor of Jiangnan."

Tong Yuan looked at his senior brother, his eyes with deep meaning, "Senior brother, you are selfish."

"The situation in Xinsong is turbulent now, and there are rising up everywhere. I really want your disciples to help me." Zhou Tong said frankly.

Tong Yuan looked at Zhang Ren, "You decide on this."

Of course, Zhang Ren knew what level of Jiangnan Jiedu was, and he was also a disciple of his uncle, so he was also a fellow disciple.

Zhang Ren also suffered from no way out, and his family was a poor family.

"Disciple is willing, but I don't know how to go to Xinsong." Zhang Ren said helplessly.

Zhou Tong thought for a while, "I'll just go with you for a while, just go back to see my student."

After saying that, Zhou Tong said to Tong Yuan again: "Junior brother, why don't you go with me too?"

"I have two disciples to teach." Tong Yuan glanced at the two people who were eavesdropping not far away.

"Take it with you together." Zhou Tong said with a faint smile.

"Okay, Zhou Bapi, you still want to beat my disciples in one go." Tong Yuan cursed with a smile.

"I didn't say I had to stay there, I just went to see it. It's not okay for us warriors to work behind closed doors. We also appreciate the scenery of other dynasties and see the warriors of other dynasties." Zhou Tong said.

After thinking seriously for a long time, Tong Yuan nodded, "Okay, I'll check on my eldest disciple. Not everyone is qualified to be my disciple's lord."

"Master, where are we going?" Zhao Yun, the youngest, looked at his master packing his things and asked curiously.

"Go to other countries to see, do you want to go with your master or go back to Zhaojia Village?" Tong Yuan asked Zhao Yun.

"I'm going to be with my master." Zhao Yun's tender face was full of excitement.

Youzhou.

Zhuo County, Zhuo County.

After Wu Song returned to Zhonghan, he came straight to Zhuo County. Many people's addresses on the list were vague, with only one approximate area, while one of them marked the location with certainty.

Among them, the words that made Wu Song be careful were even marked behind this person. This person is different from others and cannot be taken with force but can only be taken with wisdom.

There is also a personality analysis about this person later.

He is bold and meticulous, strong and impatient, and finally he is superb in martial arts.

Although Wu Song held his martial arts skills, he did not underestimate this hero named Zhang Yide.

He didn't know the news channel of how my junior brother learned, but it was true at the moment.

When he arrived in Zhuo County, Wu Song could easily ask Zhang Fei's butcher shop, but when Wu Song came to the butcher shop, he disappeared.

After inquiring, I learned that Zhang Fei rarely comes to the butcher shop, and at most he just came here by accident and left.

Zhang Fei was originally a local gentry, and the pork shop was just his family property.

On weekdays, Zhang Fei lives in another big mansion not far from here. The mansion covers a vast area and I heard that there is a Taoyuan inside.

Wu Song was disappointed in his heart and couldn't help but think of Zhang Fei.

It may be difficult for him to see Zhang Fei unless he forcefully breaks into his house, but that is to make enemies rather than make friends.

Helpless in his heart, Wu Song wandered around the market.

Suddenly stopped.

There was a piece of linen on the ground at a stall not far away, and two bags were open on the linen, containing mung beans.

Behind the stall was a man with his eyes narrowed slightly as if he was dozing.

The man wore a green soap scarf on his head and a green robe. He was wearing a brown linen around his waist and his back was straight and straight.

What attracted Wu Song even more was his appearance.

The face is like a heavy date, the lips are like a grease; the eyes of the phoenix are red and the eyebrows of the lying silkworm.
