Chapter 2: The Grandson of a Martial Idiot
The so-called "Wu Lei splits half of the wall, Zhiyan draws the country", refers to the two legends of the Dayan Dynasty - "Butcher Knife General" Ma Leiyun and "World Wizard" Li Ziyan.
Many years ago, when the enemy country outside Xiazhou attacked, Ma Leiyun led the army to conquer, and after several tragic battles, he finally returned to the dynasty in victory. In that battle, all three of General Ma's sons died on the battlefield and died heroically. At the same time, the youngest daughter who was far away from home also died of illness, and the old general did not have time to see her for the last time. There is only one granddaughter left in the family, and now she is the only bloodline of General Ma.
When the hero was in his twilight, the emperor took the opportunity to take over Ma Leiyun's military power. The generals were not convinced, and they were willing to return to the field with the old general. Ma Leiyun has no savings for the perennial war, only an empty general's mansion. The old general then sold the mansion, took more than 100 soldiers to the south, and opened a dart bureau, with thunderclouds as the banner.
The soldiers have no way to settle down except for martial arts, and they can be considered useful when they take off their robes and become dart masters. Ma Leiyun was reluctant to give up his granddaughter, so he took her with him all the time. The poor old general has served the country all his life, and when he is old, he still has to work hard for his livelihood and cannot enjoy his old age in peace.

After Zhao Shanyong, the head of the dart, heard the news that the old master had returned to the dart game, he trotted all the way, and when he saw Ma Leiyun, he whispered something in his ear.
Ma Leiyun's expression changed after hearing this, and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I happen to have a plan to hold a banquet tonight, so I will invite the county commander to discuss it together." β
After explaining some things, Ma Leiyun led Jiang Feng to him and introduced him, "This is Zhao Shanyong, the chief dart head of the Thundercloud Dart Bureau, and you will follow Zhao Dart Head to learn the things in the Dart Bureau in the future." β
"I've seen Zhao Darthead!" Jiang Feng gave up.
Zhao Shanyong nodded gently, he heard that Jiang Feng grew up in the deep mountains since he was a child, but he didn't expect this child to speak in a round tone and behave properly, which showed a great contrast compared to the feeling given by his appearance.
Shen Jianzhou, a wealthy local gentleman, had very keen ears and eyes, and as soon as he heard that Ma Leiyun had returned to Yong'an Town, he immediately came to pay respects. Shen Jianzhou is a frequent visitor to the dart game, and he is familiar with everyone in the dart game by explaining the convenience of trading. He tried his best to let his son worship Ma Leiyun as a teacher, but he never succeeded.
Today, he couldn't let go of the opportunity to stammer, he walked like a fly, hurried through the doorway, ran to the courtyard, and immediately greeted Ma Leiyun when he saw him.
"Master Ma!"
"Shen Yuanwai. But you're here to support the darts? β
"No, no, no!" Shen Jianzhou hurriedly waved his hand, "I want to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Ma Ye, but I'm afraid you won't." I don't have to bring Mo'er to visit your mansion together! If there is any need, Ma Ye just commands! β
There was a teenager behind Shen Jianzhou, who was about the same age as Jiang Feng. The young man was dressed in light green clothes, pure white light gauze, and he was dressed as a handsome boy. There was a delicate fragrance on him, like the fragrance of a book, like the fragrance of a blade of grass.
The young man's eyebrows are not thick and long enough, his eyes are not big enough, the bridge of his nose is very high but it is just ordinary, his lips are not big, not small, not thick or thin, his ears are obedient and his earlobes are like beads, although his facial features are ordinary, but compared with Jiang Feng at this time, it is also a world of difference.
Shen Jianzhou also heard about Jiang Feng. He knew that Ma Leiyun rarely took in outsiders, and there must be something special about this mountain child. So he lowered his body and introduced to Jiang Feng: "This is my son Shen Mo, who is about the same age as you, and I can be a playmate in the future." β
Shen Mo is fourteen years old, and Jiang Feng is two years old. But Jiang Feng is tall, not much shorter than Shen Mo. Jiang Feng, who grew up in the deep mountains, had a natural wildness, and he responded with a proud look of disdain in Shen Mo's eyes.

The main hall of the Thundercloud Dart Bureauββ
There were many tables of water and wine in the main hall, and Ma Leiyun feasted everyone in the dart game today.
Sun Xi, the county magistrate, arrived as promised, and bowed ninety times after seeing Ma Leiyun: "General Ma!" The loud voice was full of solemnity and admiration.
"Lord Sun, please take a seat!"
"Don't dare! Old general please! β
After some salutes, everyone sat down, and Ma Leiyun raised his glass and said:
"Since the establishment of the Thundercloud Dart Bureau, everyone has worked hard for the Dart Bureau, and Ma is grateful. The operation of the dart bureau is gradually getting better, there are few people, there are many things, and Ma should not have left suddenly. However, Ma has a wish that has not been fulfilled, that is, a decisive battle with the martial idiot Jiang Ye! Unfortunately, it happened suddenly, and I couldn't make it as promised. Jiang Ye Xianyou is the biggest regret in my life! However, I have comfort ......"
Ma Leiyun pulled Jiang Feng in front of him and said to everyone: "This is the grandson of the martial idiot, Jiang Feng!" β
That night, Zhao Shanyong bought new clothes for Jiang Feng according to Ma Leiyun's instructions, and after a freshening up, his delicate facial features were visible at a glance. At this time, Jiang Feng became a handsome and handsome young man, with a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a kind of uncontrollable arrogance in his delicate and upright. Jiang Feng's complexion is not fair, but looks more like a mature wheat color, adding to the wildness.
Everyone sighed. It is said that the tiger father has no dog son, and Jiang Feng's unruly eyes really completely inherited the style of a martial idiot.
Then Ma Leiyun slowly drew a drink and sprinkled it on the ground, and everyone in the dart game did the same. "I'm afraid the competition for the world's first martial arts has just begun, I will definitely raise Jiang Feng to become a talent, this glass of wine is for you!"
After three rounds of wine, everyone's faces under the lamp were dyed with a light layer of peach red, I don't know if it was reflected by candlelight, or because of the smell of wine.
Jiang Feng sat down at the west table with Shen Jianzhou's father and son, Jianzhou found that Jiang Feng was not good at using wooden chopsticks, and he could not use wooden chopsticks freely, so he asked Shen Mo to teach Jiang Feng.
Mu Yun's girl sat beside Ma Leiyun, with snow-white wide sleeves and a skirt that dragged the floor outlining a beautiful figure. Shen Mo looked at Mu Yun's side from time to time, and when Mu Yun's eyes also fell here, Shen Mo, who was weak-hearted, dropped the vegetables sandwiched on the wooden chopsticks to the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Jianzhou mocked: "Why, teach others to use chopsticks, but you won't be able to use them?" β
"Hand ...... The hand slipped. β
"It's not promising!"
Jiang Feng's mind was also not at this table, he was sitting some distance away from Ma Leiyun at this time, but his ear power was very good, although his eyes were elsewhere, Jiang Feng was actually listening to the conversation between Ma Leiyun and the county magistrate.
In the past month, people have gone missing in the nearby towns and villages, most of them children. Just a few days ago, several families in Yongan Town reported to the police that their children were missing. After the county order began to send someone to investigate, it was found that this was not a simple case of a lost child.
Geographically, there seems to be a pattern to the disappearance of children. Mr. Sun investigated the case and found that the location of the child's disappearance in recent years was not concentrated, but from west to north, and then from north to south, just like a gang of bandits who abducted and sold children, all the way to Yong'an Town.
Egret City is the closest big city to Yong'an Town. Half a month ago, there was news that a child was missing from Egret City. After the incident, in order to prevent suspicious people from abducting and selling children in Egret City, the arrest of the yamen was strictly investigated at the entrance and exit of the city gate. But the unfortunate news still reached the ears of the prefect, and the child still disappeared in Egret City a few days later. The prefect was greatly annoyed and dispatched officers and soldiers to assist in the arrest of the whole town, but returned disappointed. This gang of bandits seemed to have the ability to reach the sky, and they took the child out of Egret City without knowing it.
Today, the town of Yongan is facing the same crisis.
