Thinking of this, Xia Yu put aside her worries and walked towards the bamboo forest.
Just a few steps after entering, I saw Zhang Yu lying on the ground like mud and sleeping. This guy actually started to snore beautifully.
Xia Yu: "..." She slapped her forehead helplessly.
It seems that in front of a real master, Zhang Yu's level cannot protect him at all, and it is estimated that Hu Sanyi and others are also in trouble.
Should we recruit a few ruthless people in advance and train them to become experts?
For example, Xi Junmai, Xue Rengui and so on!
Xia Yu thought about it secretly.
Otherwise, with what he has learned today, he deeply feels that there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me, and I will not be able to sleep peacefully!
While his thoughts were running wild, he stretched out his foot and kicked a dead pig.
"Who kicked me?" Zhang Yu woke up with an impatient look.
"It's me." Xia Yu said with a straight face, "How's it going? Did you sleep well, old man?"
Zhang Yu panicked, jumped up, and confessed his mistake again and again: "Military advisor, this villain is guilty! I didn't know what happened, so I fell asleep."
"You punish me."
What a clever method!
Xia Yu secretly lamented how powerful Gui Gu's sect was, but she had no intention of telling Zhang Yu the truth, so as not to scare the poor kid.
"Forget it, tell me, what did you do last night? Your energy is so low!" Xia Yu deliberately frightened him.
"No, I'm not doing anything." Zhang Yu's eyes flickered a little and she blushed a little.
Something really happened! Xia Yu blinked in surprise, then smiled with a strange expression, and patted Zhang Yu's shoulder with kindness.
"Young people, you must know how to exercise moderation."
"When you return to Chang'an, I will find you a wife."
Immediately, Xia Yu, who had just turned around, couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhang Yu stood there blankly and looked at the fifth girl on his right hand. He was so ashamed that he almost went to heaven: How did this military advisor guess it?
It's over, it's over, it's so embarrassing!
Xin'an City.
In a small secret courtyard.
A tall man in Tsing Yi, who was in his forties and had an elegant appearance, stood quietly under an osmanthus tree, his thoughts flying.
Suddenly, a fiery red figure jumped over the wall and fell into the courtyard.
It's Han Ni.
"Master, I'm back."
As soon as Han Ni saw the man in green, she stepped forward and took his arm affectionately: "It's so hot, why don't you wait in the room?"
"A calm mind naturally cools down." The man in green clothes smiled slightly: "Besides, if you haven't come back, how can I rest assured as a teacher?"
"Master still loves me." Han Ni looked happy.
"Uh, have you ever seen that Xia Yu?"
"seen."
"Very good! Very good!" The man in Tsing Yi was very happy: "This person has been in Tangying all the time. I thought it would be difficult to meet him, but I didn't expect that he happened to come to Xin'an."
"Um, how is he?"
"Yeah," Han Ni tilted her head cutely: "She looks so-so. It's pretty pleasing to the eye, but she has no hair, which is a bit weird!"
The man in Tsing Yi was stunned: "Bald?"
"No." Han Ni thought for a while and described: "The hair is very short, but it's almost as good as not having it at all. It's different from ordinary people."
The man in green breathed a sigh of relief.
Since ancient times, the disciples of Guigu have either been scribes with feather fans and silk scarves, or they have been dignified, mighty and domineering generals.
If a greasy bald man appears, it will be a disgrace to the family!
"As for character and talent -" Han Ni thought about it carefully.
"This guy doesn't look vicious. He smiles and is very kind. He doesn't look as murderous as I thought. It's a bit unexpected."
"What else? He's very smart and doesn't panic at all times. He's just a little shameless."
"Shameless?" The man in green frowned.
The Guigu sect has requirements for the conduct of its disciples. They must not abuse the people, and they must not kill each other in the same sect. Otherwise, they will be punished by the sect's rules.
In the past, Pang Juan was jealous of Sun Bin's talents and chopped off his bones, leaving him disabled for life.
The Guigu sect was furious because of this.
Later, Sun Bin fled Qi State and finally avenged his great revenge by encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. The Guigu family was always secretly helping him.
Now, when he heard that Xia Yu was shameless, the man in Tsing Yi felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that I was hasty in accepting Xia Yu as my registered disciple?
"Please tell me in detail."
"Yes, Master." Hanni then angrily recounted the story in detail.
Upon hearing this, the man in green couldn't help but laugh: "You are still too young. I am deliberately irritating you, testing your limits, and trying to trick you."
"Is that so?" Han Ni's eyes widened in surprise. The little girl puffed up her cheeks angrily, waved her pink fist and said, "Damn it, next time I see him, I will beat him first."
"Don't mess around." The man in green chuckled and shook his head: "He behaves like this, which shows his wit. If he fails to deal with it, his teacher will look down on him."
"By the way, Master," Han Ni listened, and her smart eyes rolled: "This guy is pretending to be our Guigumen, why are you not angry, but want to include him in the door wall? This is too easy for him!"
"What do you think?" The man in green shaved Hanni's nose lovingly.
"You didn't tell me, how would I know." Han Ni pouted coquettishly, complaining a little.
The man in green sighed slightly, walked a few steps under the tree, and suddenly said: "Nier, how many people are there in our Guigu sect now?"
"How many others are there?"
"In the inner sect, there are master, me, two senior brothers, and uncle, there are five people in total." Han Ni counted on her fingers.
"Yeah, just five people!"
"In the past, when it was at its peak, our Guigu sect was known as the 'Seventy-Two Disciples'. Among them, Long Feng, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Pang Juan, and Sun Bin were just the leaders!"
"Nowadays, don't you feel that talents are withering and there are no successors?"
The man in Tsing Yi had a complex expression on his face. He was obviously saddened by the decline of the Guigu sect.
Han Ni disagreed and said: "Master, why don't we openly accept disciples? With the golden name of our Guigu sect, are we afraid that we won't be able to recruit good disciples?"
"If you don't think about it, you really can't listen."
"Do you know why our sect went underground and cannot come out?"
Han Ni shook her head in confusion. The master had never told her this before.
"Well, you're old now, and you should know some things." The man in green looked solemn, and faintly talked about a secret buried deep in history.
"In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended. I have a sect in Guigu that integrates various schools and has numerous talents. Among all sects, I am the hidden leader."
"However, the Qin State suddenly emerged and swept across Liuhe, dominating Legalism."
"The Confucian idiots didn't know how to advance or retreat, which angered the First Emperor. In anger, the First Emperor ordered the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucians."
"Prime Minister Li Si, a disciple of Legalism, took the opportunity to stir up trouble and expanded the scope of his attack to include hundreds of schools of thought."
"In the face of the roundup by the Qin soldiers, every family suffered heavy losses. My Guigu family was also severely weakened and was forced to flee everywhere and hide in the world."
Han Ni looked horrified when she heard this. It turned out that this was the truth behind the sudden disappearance of the Guigu sect!
"Master," Xiao Nizi said with a puzzled look on her face, "but the Qin Kingdom will soon fall. Why don't my Guigu sect come back?"
"I'm thinking about it." The man in green said with a wry smile: "In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Huang Lao was in power, but he was relatively peaceful. Our sect secretly planned it and wanted to get a share of the pie."
"But who would have thought that before he could take action, Emperor Wu Liu Che would depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism!"
"When the Confucian sect gained power, although it was not like Li Si who fought with swords and swords, it still suppressed each family in every possible way, truly killing without blood."
"Seeing that we could not do anything, we were worried that the tragedies of the past would happen again, so we continued to hide and preserve the fire."
"In the next few hundred years, either the Confucian sect will become dominant, or the barbarians will wreak havoc. If our sect wants to come back, we won't be able to come back at the right time, nor will we find the right leader!"
"I can only hide my minions and endure in secret."
It's a coincidence that Xia Yu was just talking nonsense, but he accidentally told the real secret of the Guigu sect that had been hidden until now.
Han Ni blinked. As the saying goes, a teacher is better than a disciple. Xiao Nizi seemed to understand what her master was thinking.
"Master, I understand."
"The world has been at war for hundreds of years. The Confucian sect has been weakened and the people's customs have been liberalized. The Tang Dynasty has risen in Guanzhong and is threatening to sweep the world. Are you unwilling to accept the decline of your sect and want to come back?"
"Just in time, Xia Yu suddenly appeared."
"Not only is this person amazingly talented, but what's even more impressive is that he calls himself a disciple of Guigu."
"So, you just want Xia Yu to be a pawn and explore the way. If fate is mine, our sect will come back."
"If things don't go well, Xia Yu will also be the unlucky one. Our sect won't suffer any loss."
"Wow, Master, you are so insidious!"
Han Ni's face was filled with excitement, as if she could trick the hateful Xia Yu, and she was in a very happy mood.
The man in Tsing Yi has a black line on his face.
Although this is indeed his "evil intention", does this evil disciple say that about his mentor!?
Is this insidious? It’s clearly a foresight!
Seeing that the man in green seemed to be turning black, Han Ni quickly smiled and shook the man's arm in a coquettish way: "Master, please don't be angry. My disciple said the wrong thing."
"Oh, I really spoil you." The man in Tsing Yi said helplessly: "Okay, go to bed early, and we will leave Xin'an early tomorrow morning."
"Now, it's not the time for us to go out."
"And as you said, let the front soldier arch forward first."
