It has been a month or two since Wang Hongyi, who traveled back in time and had the memory of three generations, was awarded the title of Colonel Guoyi of the eighth rank in Jishui County and was promoted from the eighth rank of Diannong Captain.
During this period of time, Wang Hongyi absorbed refugees, planned new cities, renovated water conservancy, and focused on farming.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Jishui County has been completely renewed. It already has a new look.
But what followed was a busy schedule.
Wang Hongyi was involved in a lot of energy and could not free his hands to do some important things.
Talent is rare in this era.
After some thought, Wang Hongyi set his sights on his nominal teacher, the [Hidden Sect] Qigong Master Tian Ji.
It’s just that as a cultivator, only luck is in their eyes.
In his eyes, Wang Hongyi is just a pioneer for the king.
The Li family and Li Chengye are the real Qianlong and the future King of Shu.
Therefore, even if Wu Siyuan coerced Tian Ji to seize the Taoist secrets from him, in the face of Wang Hongyi's sincere request, Tian Ji would not introduce his two proud disciples to him.
Instead, he introduced Xue Yuan, the third most incompetent disciple, to Wang Hongyi.
The two disciples Tian Ji painstakingly trained.
The eldest disciple Yu Liangbo was involved in classics and history, devoted himself to learning, and never tired from day to night, and was famous for his calligraphy.
The second disciple, Xiao Shaode, although physically weak, had a strong temperament and was outspoken and dared to remonstrate.
These two people were both good ministers, but they refused to introduce him to him, which shows Tian Ji's thoughts.
Compared with them, the other disciple Xue Yuan introduced by Tian Ji was far behind.
When Xue Yuan was seven years old, his father died. His mother did needlework to support the family. When he was seven years old, he studied in a private school. When he was ten years old, his mother said to him: "Son! After your father died, there was only going out and no going in."
, some things have been sold, and I really can’t afford to support you in your studies, so you might as well herd cattle for the village and get some money."
Xue Yuan just herds cattle.
It's just that when he was tending cattle, he still read. He read a few old books thoroughly, collected some money for a few months, bought some more old books, or listened to lectures when he had time.
This went on for five or six years, and finally Tian Ji was moved and accepted him as his disciple, but his family situation did not improve much.
Unlike Tian Ji's two former disciples who had already become famous in Wenyang County, Xue Yuan was still unknown at this time and was worried about food and clothing.

…
Regarding Tian Ji’s behavior.
Wang Hongyi was naturally angry.
It's just that Cheng Fu, who kept his emotions and anger intangible, prevented him from showing it.
Moreover, he was not qualified to choose at this time.
So after bidding farewell to Tian Ji, Wang Hongyi went to Xue Yuan's residence.
As for Tian Ji.
But he returned to the inner room.
[Hidden Gate] Taoist Tongxuan and Hezhen are sitting next to the coffee table. Both of them are accomplished Taoists, and their skin has a faint jade color.
See Tianji sit down.
Tongxuan asked, "Is this Wang Shoutian (Wang Hongyi has not changed his name at this time) here?"
"Yes." Tian Ji nodded, "According to the instructions of the real person, Wang Shoutian's luck has only arisen in the past few years. It is not unusual for him to take advantage of the situation. But he found me and wanted to accept two of my apprentices, but it was
It’s rare.”
"You didn't give it to him, did you?" Another person said Pingzhen.
"Of course, this is all for the future Qianlong. Who is Wang Shoutian? At best, he is just a pioneer who clears the way for Qianlong. How can he dare to ask me to ask for these two sons?" Tian Ji shook his head, a little arrogantly.
said.
"That's good! Qianlong is related to our great cause and must not be lost!" Tongxuan said. After a pause, he sighed again and said, "Unfortunately, we have been here for so long, but we still haven't investigated the conspiracy behind Qianlong.
Xiu, you are so ashamed of your master!"
"If the great cause of our sect suffers setbacks because of this, then we will be the sect's sinners!" Tongxuan said with a guilty expression.
"Hey! During this period of time, the Qianlong of the Li family has been living in seclusion! Even if we want to take the opportunity to investigate, we can't find a reason to get close!" Ping Zhen also shook his head and said.
When Tian Ji heard this, he frowned and said, "In fact, the abnormality of the Li family's Qianlong only further proved the teacher's guess that there must be some small trouble behind it!"
He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's do this. I have been here for more than ten years and have a bad reputation. When the time comes, in the name of my best friend, I will take you to visit Li Mansion. In this way, the two senior brothers can also take the opportunity to investigate.
Explore the situation of the Li family’s Qianlong!”
"In this case, the causal implications are a bit big!" Tongxuan frowned, "It would be fine if... nothing happens, but if something happens, it will be difficult to escape unscathed!"
"When it comes to fighting for the dragon, we can only move forward bravely. There is no hesitation! It is a matter of great importance to our sect, and I have already put my life and death aside!" Tian Ji Dayi said solemnly.
He is [Hidden Gate] a person who has fallen into the secular world.
If there are twists and turns in the fight for the dragon, due to the implication of cause and effect, apart from the [Hidden Gate] master who originally searched for the dragon's acupoint, he will be the first to bear the brunt!
Therefore, Tian Ji cannot retreat and has no way to retreat!
Tongxuan Heping could really hear the generosity and enterprising spirit in Tian Ji's words, and he couldn't help but feel inspired.
Tongxuan said, "On the contrary, I was too hesitant to look forward and backward, which made my junior brother look down upon me!"
"Okay, just follow your junior brother's instructions and introduce it to us. I want to take a good look at this hidden dragon and the monsters and monsters behind it!"
"Let's see which rogue cultivator dares to disturb my [Hidden Sect] Tai Sui!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…
The real person here [Hidden Gate] is having a secret conversation.
Wang Hongyi is recruiting Xue Yuan over there.
The recruitment process was very smooth.
Wang Hongyi didn't even take out the letter of introduction Tian Ji wrote to him, but went straight to the point and asked him to come out and help.
Xue Yuan was startled, pondered for a moment, looked around, and said with a wry smile: "Autumn and winter are approaching, and I have nothing to wear for my mother and wife. You come to invite me, so I have no choice but to accept."
He didn't even ask anything.
Wang Hongyi revealed his identity at that time, gave him a salary of fifty taels, established a relationship, and ate together. They agreed to invite Xue Yuan to take office three days later.
Xue Yuan returned home with some silver, and his mother, wife and children were overjoyed.
Wang Hongyi, on the other hand, was riding an ox cart back to Jishui County. The journey was slightly bumpy, but his mind was racing.
The fact that Tian Ji is a Qi Refiner was beyond Wang Hongyi's expectation.
At the same time, Tian Ji's refusal to introduce the two disciples who entered the house also meant that Tian Ji was not from his side!
Wang Hongyi thought, his eyes getting colder.
at this time!
On the road, a young man with a handsome face and extraordinary bearing suddenly walked out and blocked the front of his bullock cart.
"Is it Li Chengye? Why is he here?"
Thanks to the memory of his previous life, Wang Hongyi quickly recognized this young man's identity.
