Zhao Renjie looked in the direction of his finger and saw Zhao Yu and a Taoist in a gray robe riding over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Yu came to Zhao Renjie, looked at it carefully, and asked with concern: "Young master, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, thanks to the young man in white who rescued him. Zhao Yu, those people just now said that you were dead, which scared me half to death. ”

"I was ambushed in the woods over there, and I almost died, but it was the Taoist who saved me." Zhao Yu said.

"Thank you for saving me." Zhao Renjie bowed.

"It's just a gesture, Lord Zhao doesn't have to be polite." The Taoist said with a smile.

"My lord, do you know who this old Taoist is? You know him, guess what. Zhao Yu pretended to be mysterious.

Zhao Renjie thought carefully about the people in the rivers and lakes he knew, and suddenly a familiar face flashed in his mind, as well as that familiar look.

"Deadwood Road Chief?" Zhao Renjie is not sure.

"Not bad! The poor road law is called 'dead wood', and the people in the rivers and lakes are called 'the chief of the hundred changes'. The Deadwood Daoist bowed slightly.

"I almost don't recognize the Taoist leader's outfit." Zhao Renjie looked at the Deadwood Daoist carefully and felt that he was very different from two years ago.

"Of course, Poor Dao has many faces, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them. Renjie, do you remember what I said two years ago? Deadwood Daoist asked.

"Of course I remember, you want me to be a good official and a clean official who does things for the people." Zhao Renjie said.

"What else?" Deadwood Daoist asked.

"I don't remember, I hope the Taoist will remind me." Zhao Renjie said.

"I said that the two of us have a master-apprentice fate, and when we meet in the future, you will be my apprentice." Deadwood said with a smile as he stroked his sparse beard on his chin.

"The younger generation also wants to worship the Taoist elder as a teacher, but they can't help themselves. The Yangzhou bloody case shocked the government and the opposition, and the emperor asked me to solve the case in three months, and the time was urgent, and I couldn't delay it any longer. Zhao Renjie said.

"Just because you're a powerless scholar, can you bring those murderers to justice? Do you know who is behind the Yangzhou bloodbath? How many people are involved? To put it bluntly, even if they are standing in front of you, you are helpless. Deadwood said.

Zhao Renjie also knew that he could not complete the mission alone, so he said: "The Taoist leader's care for the younger generations is remembered by the younger generations. The younger generation knew that the Taoist Bodhisattva had a heart, and dared to beg the Taoist to stay and help the younger generation. ”

"The poor road is used to idleness, and cannot stand the constraints; However, you can ask your apprentice Ying'er to stay and help you. Deadwood said.

"Thank you, Chief." Zhao Renjie hurriedly saluted.

"Master, I-?" The young man in white wanted to speak and stopped.

"Ying'er, I see that you have a lot of fate with Lord Zhao, so you just stay and help him, even if it's for the sake of the people of Li." Deadwood said.

Ying'er stopped talking, he glanced at Zhao Renjie and lowered his head shyly.

Zhao Renjie couldn't help but glance at Ying'er more at this time, feeling that he had fine skin and tender flesh, and his face was like a peach blossom when he was shy, just like a girl's family.

"Renjie, come with me, I have something to say." Deadwood Dao Leader takes the first step.

Zhao Renjie obediently followed.

The two of them came to the woods, and the deadwood chief stopped.

"Daoist, do you have any advice?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"Now, I officially accept you as a closed disciple, and I will teach you some self-defense techniques, you must keep it in mind." Deadwood said.

"Thank you, Master." Zhao Renjie knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

"Renjie, get up! As the teacher knows that your emperor is in his body, he can't keep you by his side, I have a book of martial arts secrets here, which records several of the most basic self-defense techniques, as well as the art of disguise, you should refer to it carefully. The Deadwood Daoist opened his duffel bag and took out a yellow book and handed it to Zhao Renjie.

Zhao Renjie took the yellow book and kowtowed three more times.

"Renjie, sit down, close your eyes and recuperate, and sink your dantian." Deadwood said.

Zhao Renjie sat down and did as instructed.

The Deadwood Daoist sat down, concentrated his energy, and suddenly sent his palms together to convey true qi to Zhao Renjie.

"Master, you—" Zhao Renjie was stunned.

"Don't speak, spread your hands flat on your knees to recuperate." Deadwood said.

Zhao Renjie had no choice but to comply.

After the Deadwood Dao Chief conveyed the true qi, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Zhao Renjie turned his head, looked at the dead wood Dao Chief's face turned pale, and said emotionally, "Master, why are you doing this?" ”

The Deadwood Daoist opened his eyes, smiled faintly and said, "Renjie, no why, because your uncle Zhao Dong is my best friend, and I am entrusted by others to be loyal to people." ”

Zhao Renjie finally understood that his uncle had been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years and rarely went home, and the uncle in his memory was still middle-aged, and at that time, his uncle doted on him.

"Thank you, Master, you are a teacher for one day and a father for life, and you are my reborn parents." Zhao Renjie was grateful.

"You are my nephew by generation, and the family does not speak two languages. Renjie, I'll teach you another set of mental methods, you have to remember. The deadwood Taoist said: "Practice to strengthen the body since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine health is still in childhood, gather qi to refresh the mind without distractions, and the eight veins of the strange meridians pass through the dantian; The human body's qi and blood pass through the meridians, and the joints can be smoothed and prolonged; The body and mind are one, and the form is in the heart and the heart; Qi Shen Dantian is strong in spirit, strong in strength and strong in muscles and bones. ”

Zhao Renjie is talented and intelligent, and his memory is amazing, while the Deadwood Daoist reads it, he memorizes it while he finishes reading, and he memorizes it word for word.

"Renjie, you have done your best for the teacher, and then you have to rely on yourself to learn, there is no end to learning, the martial arts cheats are given to you, and the rest can only be understood by yourself. It's not too early, let's go! Deadwood said earnestly.

"The disciple kept it in mind. Master, let's go together! There is also a good response on the road. Zhao Renjie retained.

"Let's go! I'm going to Suzhou to meet friends. "The Deadwood Daoist said, get on the horse.

The two of them walked out of the forest, just as Zhao Yu and Ying'er arrived.

"Ying'er, protect Renjie well, at the critical moment, the division will arrive in time." Deadwood said.

"Disciple obeys Master's orders." Ying'er had no choice but to agree.

"Renjie, remember, don't be reckless when you encounter problems, think twice before acting." The Deadwood Daoist admonished.

Zhao Renjie thanked the deadwood Taoist again.

"Renjie, there are still two days to go to Yangzhou, the closer you get to the destination, the more dangerous it is. The Deadwood Road Chief said that he rode away.

"Young master, it's not too early, let's go!" Zhao Yu urged.

"Good! Let's go! Zhao Renjie said let's get on the horse.

Ying'er led the way in front, and Zhao Yu protected behind Zhao Renjie.

The three fast horses galloped southeast for two hours, and came to a small town, which was getting late at this time.

"Brother Zhao, it's getting late, Qingshui Town is ahead, let's find an inn to rest and leave early tomorrow morning." Ying'er said.

"Shaoxia, you are familiar with this area, everything is arranged by you." Zhao Renjie said to get off the horse.

The three of them led the horses slowly, and as soon as they arrived in the town, they saw that many people had gathered in the town, making a commotion.
