Chapter 40 Mixed joys and sorrows, hard to explain
The banner was unfolded, and a line of gilded characters appeared on it, "Master Zhao Dunzhao of our martial arts school has broken through the iron bone realm. Welcome all comrades to come and congratulate you!"
Huang An could see clearly from a distance, and his expression was dull for a moment.
Breakthrough?
Master made a breakthrough?
How come I don’t know?
Huang An thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes, but the big red banner was still hanging there.
The laughter of the senior brothers and the coquettish hums of the little money fans are particularly real.
Huang An was extremely surprised. He had not been to the martial arts gym for only two days, and such a big event happened in the gym.
You must know that warriors generally do not make their breakthroughs so public. It is normal to reveal them to those close to them, but to outsiders, they should hide it if they can.
Unless it’s a breakthrough across a large realm, which the master happens to be.
The master usually looks very serious, honest and honest, but I didn’t expect that he would do such a big thing quietly.
If Huang An hadn't been so receptive, he would have thought he was crazy.
He has been living in Feng'an City for two months. How can he not know the content of Iron Bone Realm masters?
In the entire Feng'an City, the master is the number one person today!
Even in the county town of Youzhou City, Iron Bone Realm masters are the best among people.
As soon as you join the army, you will start with a thousand generals, guarding each pass and place.
Huang An didn't just hide and watch from a distance. The martial arts hall was very busy. He quickly walked over and wanted to help.
Less than thirty steps away, suddenly.
"Junior brother!"
A voice of surprise came from the door. Huang An turned his head slightly and swept over, and a green shadow rushed towards him quickly.
It's a little money fan, a little money fan who has changed into a new costume.
Her skin is like gelatin, white and rosy. She is covered in a long green dress, like wild flowers in spring. Her waist is tied up, but not enough to hold it in her hands.
Unexpectedly, the little money fan is also a big girl.
Huang An's eyes swept over his slightly bulging figure, and then stopped at the pretty face of the little money lover.
Take a closer look, this girl is quite pretty.
"Junior brother, where have you been? Why haven't you come to the martial arts gym for two days?"
There was an unconcealable concern in the slightly annoyed tone of the little money fan.
Although the two have known each other for less than three months, in the impression of the little money fan, the relationship with Huang An is definitely better than the relationship with Pang Han and other senior brothers.
One thing that Xiaocai fans like and enjoy very much is that Huang An is always polite, behaves appropriately, and is approachable without being rude.
But it is different from the slightly humble attitude of other senior brothers towards their sisters.
I feel very comfortable talking and getting along with Huang An.
The night before yesterday, when her father and sister told her that her father had broken through the Iron Bone Realm, Zhao Ledu went crazy with joy.
She wanted to share the good news with Huang An as soon as possible, but Junior Brother Huang didn't come for two days in a row, which made her very excited.
As a result, when she ordered people to clean the inside and outside of the martial arts gym these two days, she was a little absent-minded.
Now that Huang An had arrived early in the morning, the desire to share that had been suppressed suddenly reached its peak.
Huang An was moved. Although the little money fan values money, he is also really good at relationships with people.
This is a little girl who has not grown up. Her joys, anger, sorrows, and thoughts are all written on her face and engraved in her words.
Huang An's depression was mostly gone, but he still shook his head and explained helplessly:
"There was a robber at home two days ago, and the house was turned upside down. Junior brother, I've been packing up the belongings for the past two days."
"Ah?"
The little money fan's expression suddenly changed and he said anxiously:
"Did you lose your money?"
Huang An's face froze and he nodded helplessly.
"I lost a few copper coins and three taels of silver!"
The little money fan looked bitter, gritted his teeth, and cursed:
"What a pity, such a disgusting thief!"
However, his expression quickly changed from angry to happy.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose much. Isn't that very distressing?"
Huang An smiled silently. He was really distressed, but he couldn't tell who was more distressed.
After caring about the money, the little money fan looked Huang An up and down, pulled his sleeve and asked:
"Are you okay too?"
After asking, he squeezed Huang An's shoulder again, glanced at Huang An's ordinary, even a bit ugly face, and said with relief:
"It seems like you're fine, junior brother, that's okay!"
Huang An helplessly smiled bitterly, and the bad mood of encountering the thief disappeared. He changed the topic and said curiously:
"What's going on today?"
When Huang An asked about today's events, the little money fan suddenly changed his face and said with a smile:
"Come on, come with me, I'll give you a good talk!"
The two entered the martial arts hall gate one after the other.
What Huang An didn't notice was that Pang Han was holding a hammer on the ladder and helping to hang the new plaque. After seeing him step through the door, an uncomfortable expression suddenly flashed across his face.
There were many disciples in the martial arts gym, and Xiaocai Fan dragged Huang An around the entire martial arts gym because of Huang An's poor health.
He said that while telling Huang An what happened in the past two days, he was also inspecting the cleaning work in the martial arts gym.
Huang An saw that the little money fan obviously wanted to be lazy, but he didn't expose it. If he couldn't help, then he couldn't help. There was no need to cause any psychological burden.
It’s also great to chat with the young senior sister and listen to her blowjob.
It turned out that the master had already made a breakthrough the night before he went to the city lord's palace for the banquet.
After the breakthrough, he did not announce it to the outside world, but made preparations to report to Youzhou City.
Until a few days ago, the candidates for the five hundred soldiers had been selected.
Weapons, food, carriages, etc. are all ready, and invitations were just sent out to the entire Feng'an City yesterday.
It turned out that the master had successfully made a breakthrough even though he was seriously injured.
Huang An was stunned for a while. The master's perseverance and courage are not something ordinary warriors can possess.
After all, the price of failure to break through was too high, but the master did it.
And it worked successfully!
While Huang An was extremely impressed, he also had some questions: Why is the master so anxious?
Is there something unspeakable?
Just looking at the little senior sister's appearance, she didn't know much, so Huang An stopped asking.
Huang An knew a little about his master's recruitment, but not much. He just heard Senior Sister Zhao talk about it, but he didn't ask any questions at the time.
But today, after the little money fan talked about it in detail, I realized how crazy the imperial court's control over the warriors was.
In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to practice martial arts, you must not escape the strict control and ubiquitous surveillance of the court.
From those who have just entered the martial arts to the Five Zang Realm, to the masters of the Iron Bone Realm who are capable of serving as generals of thousands of men, they are all under the strict control of the imperial court.
Except for the entry-level realm of martial arts - the five internal organs realm, every major realm breakthrough cannot be separated from the treasures controlled by the imperial court and the limitations of secret books.
In other words, even the precious medicines needed for the five internal organs realm are controlled by the imperial court. Without the help of the Ming imperial court, it is almost impossible for anyone to enter the martial arts.
If you want to make a breakthrough in martial arts cultivation, you can join the army!
Go kill the enemy!
Only by traveling in the army can you obtain the secrets, skills and medicine for the next level.
And these are not something you can get only after joining the army, you also need to perform meritorious service.
Huang An got two very bad news from it. To a certain extent, these two pieces of news diluted his joy of learning that his master had broken through the realm.
The first news is that within five days at most after the celebration, the master will take the 500 soldiers he formed to report to the governor in Youzhou City.
It is to take the military talisman, go to the border to report to the general, and guard one side.
The master may not know whether he is still leading the army and stationed in Youzhou City.
Since the master broke through the Iron Bone Realm, he has become a thousand-man general in Youzhou.
According to Xiaocai fans, the master is more likely to lead troops to guard the border.
He will lead his five hundred soldiers to report back to Youzhou first.
Afterwards, the Youzhou commander and governor will decide on the appointment and dismissal of the master, most likely to go to the border.
He will take five hundred soldiers to the border front line, and then collect another five hundred soldiers assigned to him by the court, leading a total of one thousand soldiers to fight on the border.
Only when you have enough years or merits can you come back and continue your leisurely life.
This news was so unexpected that Huang An felt sad for a moment.
The master is leaving, and his biggest backer in Feng'an City is leaving.
If there are any problems in my practice in the future, I am afraid I will have no choice but to ask Senior Sister Zhao for help.
I don’t know if it’s reliable or not.
The second news is even worse.
That is, if Huang An wants to break through the five internal organs realm and be promoted to the six internal organs realm, he must go to the military to obtain military merit in exchange for the skills to break through the six internal organs realm.
Moreover, if he goes to the army, as a martial artist who has just entered the martial arts, he can seek a very senior position at most, leading a team of ten people.
But soon, Huang An noticed the loopholes in the little money fan's language. He frowned and asked curiously:
"Why can't I go to the army to get further skills before I break through, but the master only goes after he breaks through?"
The little money fan was stunned for a moment, her face froze. She looked at Huang An and scratched her head again. The look of doubt in her eyes became heavier, but she still didn't understand it in the end.
Yes, why?
Warriors are all the same, don't they have to fight in the army and gain credit before breaking through?
Why did dad choose to form a personal army to go to Youzhou after he had already achieved a breakthrough?
Moreover, half a year ago, my father also returned from the army.
Why is this?
"Yes, maybe there is some secret in it."
The little money fan stammered and explained, dryly and without any content at all.
She quickly put the matter behind her, changed the subject, and led Huang An around the entire martial arts gym.
The little money fan is quite fun, Huang An is too embarrassed to keep spinning around.
After two more rounds, Huang An explained his intention to the little money fan, and after speaking to Senior Sister Zhao who was busy supervising the preparation of food and drinks, Huang An went to the martial arts hall to find Xiao Wu to help cook the food for today's banquet.
The necessary tonic soup.
The news that the master of the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall, Mr. Zhao Dunzhao, broke through to the Iron Bone Realm spread throughout the city as early as yesterday.
No matter how dirty there was in the past, since this news was confirmed by the city lord's palace, the entire Feng'an City has become harmonious.
The grudges, hatreds, and small actions of the past disappeared in an instant, as if they had never happened.
Waiting for the sky to look over, the entire Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall has a new look. The main door is open, and the side door is also open, welcoming guests from all walks of life.
Even some neighbors, after sending gifts, can have a delicious meal on the flowing water table set up on the street outside the house.
There are even beggars like Blind Liu who can be rewarded with two big steamed buns by saying a few words of flattery.
Of course, these people do not have stools and will be driven to distant places to eat.
Sure enough, a congratulatory gift is still needed.
Huang An was a little tangled for a while, but the master broke through. As disciples, they must more or less follow the rules.
Other senior brothers can use less. After all, they are short of money, and the martial arts school also knows it.
But it might be difficult for you to do it yourself.
