In this way, Ah Kang can be regarded as an apprentice.

The two officially became a master-apprentice relationship.

"Since you want to be a general, it's not enough to just know martial arts, it's a little bit worse. ”

Tang Yuan looked at Ah Kang under the hall and said, "You must allow Wen and Yun Wu to be a good general." ”

"Master, what should Ah Kang do? Akon immediately asked.

Tang Yuan muttered: "In a few days, I will find a gentleman for you, you can study with him, and I will personally teach you martial arts, rest assured." Remember, since you want to be a general, you have to study more military books from today, there are a lot of these materials in the six-door archives, come and get my token when you want to go, no one will stop you. ”

"Yes, thank you, master. Akon nodded solemnly.

Tang Yuan said: "After you break through the innate realm, I will find an opportunity to send you to the north and train in the army, if you don't take this step, you will never become a general, but it is likely to start as a soldier, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"Akon knows. Akon said.

"My lord, there is something important to repay for your humble duties. ”

As the two were talking, there was a sound of proclamation outside.

"Come in. ”

Tang Yuan said to Ah Kang again: "You go first, go back and talk to your grandfather." ”

"Yes, master. Akon stood up and said excitedly.

Then, he ran to the house and went back to tell his grandfather the good news.

After all, being accepted as an apprentice by the master was something that was unimaginable in the past, and I believe that the grandfather would be happy.

"What's the matter?" Tang Yuan asked.

Catch quickly bowed and saluted: "Lord Peng asked the lowly post to come to report, saying that he asked the lord to come over, it seems that someone from outside the mansion is coming." ”

"Do you know who it is?" asked Tang Yuan.

"Master Peng didn't say it. ”

"Then go and see who is so big. ”

Tang Yuan stood up and said in a cold voice.

At this time, the six doors are outside the palace.

"Hasn't Lord Tang come over yet?"

Outside the house, a man with a slight beard, wearing a Confucian shirt, is about fifty years old, his hair is meticulously pulled up, and he looks like a fastidious person at a glance.

Peng Hui stood with his hands tied, neither humble nor arrogant: "Master Xu, Master Tang is usually busy with official business, and he should be on the way here at this time, so please wait for a while." Or Master Xu entered the hall with Peng, so that people could serve tea and enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”

"That's not necessary. ”

Xu Youdao raised his head slightly, and stood with his hands in his hands.

The Thorn History Mansion and the Six Gates belong to two departments of the imperial court, one is in charge of politics and the other is in charge of martial arts.

The Great Cadres set up three departments in the local state capitals: one was the marching governor, who was in charge of the army of a state, and all of them belonged to the standing army; the other was the assassin of the state, who was responsible for the administrative affairs of a state and participated in the governor's affairs; and the other was the six gates, which supervised the forces of the martial arts and rivers in a state.

In addition, there are three departments for supervising the imperial history.

Of course, the six gates are rarely supervised, and the one who supervises the imperial history is more supervised by the marching governor, who is high and powerful, and the most taboo is to support the army and respect himself.

But no matter what, he is the master of the staff of the Assassin Mansion, and his status is still a little higher than that of a county catcher, not to mention that Tang Yuan was also demoted to a fast catcher.

At this time, Tang Yuan walked out of the hall.

"Meet Lord Tang. ”

The crowd saluted in unison.

Peng Hui greeted him and whispered a few words in Tang Yuan's ear.

Tang Yuan nodded suddenly, walked up to Xu Youdao and arched his hand: "Xiaguan Tang Yuan, I have seen Master Xu." ”

Then, Tang Yuan feigned anger at Peng Hui again: How could Master Peng let Master Xu stand outside for so long, Tang had something to delay, it was really rude. ”

After that, Tang Yuan led Xu Youdao inside with one hand, "Master Xu, what's the matter, let's talk about it in detail, how about it?"

Xu Youdao thought about it for a while, and finally walked in with Tang Yuan.

Several guards followed.

"Xing Luo, let's go together. ”

Peng Hui dragged Xing Luo in.

Xing Luo muttered in a low voice as he walked: "This Master Xu is really good at arranging music, and I want Lord Tang to personally invite him in, cut, he is the master of the Assassin Mansion, and he has no official position, so it is better for me to wait, what is the spirit? Not to mention that the Assassin Mansion can't control my six doors, who gave him the right to shout five and drink six in the six doors of the yamen." ”

Peng Hui glared at him and said in a low voice: "You are quiet, there are still seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, and Xu Youdao is a staff member that Wang Tingshi relies on very much."

Although we are waiting for six doors, we can try not to offend him as much as possible, so as not to put on small shoes for us in the state city, and then I will not be able to wait for the whip. ”

"Hmph, you're so timid. Xing Luo glanced at Peng Hui disdainfully.

Straight ahead, you will soon reach the main church.

As soon as Tang Yuan sat down, he got straight to the point and asked, "I don't know why Master Xu visited my Fufeng County Six Gates Mansion today?"

"Xu came here this time to pass on the order of Lord Shi to assassinate Lord Shi and ask for the assistance of Six Doors. ”

Xu Youdao arched his hand slightly, and said with a faint expression.

"Oh, this is strange, Lord Thorn Shi needs the help of reckless people like me to deal with the affairs of a state?"

Tang Yuan sighed lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in surprise.

Xu Youdao didn't hear the meaning of the words, and said lightly: "I don't know if Lord Tang can hear about the kidnapping of the third lady of the Gu family." ”

"I've heard a little. ”

Tang Yuan nodded and said: "But what does this matter have to do with my six doors? Could it be that the Gu family is embarrassed, and you still want us to help find it, hehe, there is no such reason in the world, I don't know if Master Xu agrees with Tang's statement." ”

Xu Youdao's tone was stagnant, and he said slowly: "The Gu family is the largest salt merchant family in my Daqian, and its status is extraordinary, and it makes great contributions to my Daqian's tax revenue every year, and His Majesty also values it.

This time, Miss Gu was abducted in my Ningzhou, which caused an extremely bad impact, and Lord Assassin Shi was furious when he heard about this, and ordered Ningzhou to search for Miss Gu's whereabouts with all his might. ”

"Oh, I see. Tang Yuan was suddenly curious, and said: "However, what does it have to do with my six doors, who dares to disobey the order of Lord Shi?"

Xu Youdao couldn't help cursing Tang Yuan in his heart, he really didn't get in, and immediately said bluntly: "This kidnapping of Miss Gu is done by a force called the Nine Peerless Palace. ”

"I haven't heard of it. Tang Yuan shook his head and said.

Xu Youdao stroked his beard and said, "Then Lord Tang must have heard that there was a bronze masked man in Fufeng County, and he was still fighting with the Iron Hall Master of the Supreme Alliance above Lord Tang's mansion. ”

"This person has heard a little. Tang Yuan nodded.

Xu Youdao said: "This person is a person in the Nine Absolute Palace, and he is called a finger, so Xu is here to be ordered by Lord Shi to ask Lord Tang to assist in the investigation of the Nine Absolute Palace, hoping to investigate a little clue." ”

"Tang doesn't understand something, and I hope that Master Xu will give him advice. Tang Yuan suddenly arched his hand.

Xu Youdao raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Tang, please speak." ”

"Is this a matter of rivers and lakes?" asked Tang Yuan.

Xu Youdao said without thinking: "When it comes to the forces of the rivers and lakes, it is naturally a matter of the rivers and lakes. ”
