In the hall of Xu Guogong's mansion, Yu Wenshu and Li Xiuning were already seated separately. In the upper seat of the hall sat a middle-aged officer in his thirties.

Yu Wenming walked into the hall and bowed to everyone, Fang Caizai carefully looked at the middle-aged officer, only to see that although he had white skin, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looked like a Confucian general, he was tall and tall, giving people a heroic and unusually calm and decisive feeling. His eyes were also very slender, and there was a sparkle of wisdom in his deep eyes.

"Yuwen Gongzi, this is the master Li Jing I introduced to you, it was not easy for me to persuade him to come out of the mountain! Why don't you thank me quickly? Li Xiuning saw Yu Wenming coming, and said with a smile.

Yu Wenming was also overjoyed when he heard that his master turned out to be Li Jing, a hero of the late Sui Dynasty whom he had admired very much in his previous life.

Before he could answer, Yuwenshu stood up and said to him happily: "Ming'er, I originally planned to ask General Li Jing to take you as an apprentice, but I didn't expect Miss Li to take him one step ahead of me and move him over. What a coincidence...... You must know that General Li is not only strong in martial arts, excellent in archery, but also good at the art of war, and is a rare general with both wisdom and courage in my Great Sui, you have to learn more from him. ”

After Yu Wenshu learned that his grandson wanted to practice martial arts, he was thinking about which general was suitable to be his grandson's teacher. Although there are many fierce generals in the Great Sui Army, there are only a few who have a relationship with him.

Although Yu Juluo, the governor of Diezhou, is strong in martial arts, he is already the master of his grandson Yuwen Chengdu, and it is not good to trouble him to be the master of Yu Wenming. Moreover, the weapon he is good at is the Flowing Gold Boring, which is only suitable for people who teach Yuwen Chengdu such innate divine powers. Yu Wenming, whose height and arm strength are not outstanding, is obviously not suitable.

And although Zhang Xutuo of Qijun is known as the first fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, because he was Yang Su's subordinate general before, and he belongs to Yang Xuangan's faction, he is only a general friend of himself, and if he really asks him to be Ming'er's teacher, I am afraid that most of them will be politely refused.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yuwenshu found that only Li Jing was the most suitable candidate. As early as ten years ago, in the first battle of Emperor Yang Jian's conquest of the Turks, he showed extraordinary bravery and resourcefulness.

In this battle, the Sui army broke through the Turks, beheaded nearly 50,000, not only recaptured the land of the Hetao, but also successfully took advantage of the internal contradictions of the Turks to split it into two parts, the east and west, which greatly alleviated its threat to the northern border of the Sui Dynasty, and the troops led by Li Jing played a major role in this battle.

It's just that because Li Jing's uncle Han Baohu was one of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, he died of illness early, and Li Jing had no other powerful backstage in the court, so although he was tired of military merits, he only mixed up in a palace. It's just a six-rank official.

However, because Yu Wenshu has worked with Li Jing for many years, he knows that he is both wise and brave, not only strong in martial arts, accurate in archery, but also extremely good at how to use soldiers. It is a rare talent.

He was about to find an opportunity to mention to Li Jing about his grandson's apprenticeship, but he didn't expect Li Xiuning to bring Li Jing over, which made Yu Wenshu overjoyed.

While Yu Wenming was looking at Li Jing, Li Jing was also looking at the young man who was about to become his apprentice.

Now, although he has an indifferent look on his face, he has actually been worried about his career. Since the Western Wei Dynasty, the descendants of the Eight Pillars and the Twelve Great Generals, whether in the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the Great Sui Dynasty, have all produced talents and occupied an important position in the imperial court. But he is the only one who has a bad career and has not been promoted to his official position for many years.

As a result, he was always eager to be given the opportunity to show his talents, hoping to make a name for himself in a war. Therefore, although Li Jing had long heard that the child's father, Yu Wenhua, had a bad reputation in the capital. But considering that his grandfather Yuwen Shu was a trusted minister of the emperor in the court, and he held the position of general Zuo Lingwei and held great power in the army.

Therefore, after hesitating for a day, Li Jing finally agreed to serve as Yu Wenming's master.

However, after coming to the mansion, he took retreat as advance, and stated to Yu Wenshu, saying that his training was very hard, and he was worried that Yu Wenming would not be able to endure this suffering.

But Yu Wenshu didn't care, but was overjoyed. He secretly thought: If Li Jing's teaching can really scare Yu Wenming from not wanting to practice martial arts, it is exactly what he wants, and he can be persuaded to abandon martial arts and learn literature. And if his grandson can endure this hardship, it means that he has made up his mind, and his will to practice martial arts is firm, and he doesn't have to go against it anymore.

Therefore, he patted his chest and said that his grandson had never been pampered, so that Li Jing could do it with confidence.

In this way, Li Jing did not hesitate any longer, and for the sake of Yuwenshu and Li Xiuning's face, he agreed to take the errand.

He immediately bowed down in front of Li Jing, kowtowed three times and said, "Disciple Yu Wenming to meet Master!" ”

Li Jing also knows that if he can teach the grandson of Yuwenshu well, it will be a good opportunity for him to get ahead, which will be of great benefit to his career.

He hurriedly helped Yu Wenming up, and said: "Little boy, you learn martial arts with me, but you have to endure all the hardships, my training method is unbearable for ordinary people, can you really bear it?" ”

Yu Wenming immediately said without hesitation: "No problem! Apprentices are not afraid of hardship, they just want to learn real skills! ”

"Good! Then you come with me, I want to polish you! Li Jing bowed to Yuwenshu at this time and said: "Guogong, the humble position may make the little prince suffer a little!" ”

Yuwenshu knew that Li Jing was strictly trained, and although he was a little reluctant, he knew that his grandson could only learn real kung fu by following him. He then said with a solemn expression: "Although General Li let him go, just treat him as an ordinary soldier of yours!" ”

……

Li Jing rode his war horse and rode Yu Wenming towards the outside of Chang'an City.

At this time, just a few days after the Lantern Festival, the northern wasteland was still covered in silver. In particular, it had snowed heavily two days ago, and the snow on the ground was a foot deep, and the horses' hooves stepped on the snow, making a "swish, swishing" grinding sound.

Yu Wenming also rode a horse for the first time, and he rode a horse with a famous general like Li Jing at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he was very excited. He also hoped that he would grow up to be a good man, majestically armed with spears and horses, and like no one in the enemy army.

"Hey, hey! Maybe I can become one of the eighteen heroes in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in the future. Yu Wenming thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, Li Jing, who was close to Yu Wenming's back, was slightly pale, and he asked in a condensed voice: "Ming'er, have you ever learned martial arts from someone before?" I feel that your arms are much more powerful than the average child who has not practiced martial arts. ”

"Master, the apprentice is very ashamed, he has not practiced any kung fu until he is twelve years old, and his arms are stronger than ordinary children of the same age, because the disciple often practices calligraphy on the sand...... Yu Wenming honestly told him what happened before.

"Ming'er, I didn't expect you to be the same as me before, and the situation was not smooth!" Li Jing was also surprised when he heard that the grandson of the dignified Xu Guogong had to practice calligraphy on the sand because he had no money to buy paper.

However, he also put his mind at ease, and now it seems that although Yu Wenming has passed the best age to practice martial arts, he is still a blank sheet of paper, and he can teach his internal strength and mental method to him.

It's just that before that, you should also exercise the basic skills of the apprentice, and now Yu Wenming's body is too thin.

"Take your clothes off." Li Jing snorted coldly.

"What? Undressing? In this snowy and icy place? Yu Wenming's pupils dilated suddenly, and Jun's face showed a shocked expression.

"I'm even afraid of the cold, how dare I learn my martial arts?"

Li Jing dismounted at this time, took off his armor, and revealed his sturdy body. The angular muscle lines on his body made Yu Wenming's eyes widen.

In addition to the near-perfect muscle lines, Li Jing's bare upper body has knife marks, sword marks, and scars. There are dozens of scars of all kinds, which are very conspicuous in the sun.

"Scars are a medal of manhood!" Li Jing stroked the scars on his body, and then said in a deep voice: "Ming'er, my martial arts are already good in the army, and I am an officer who serves as an officer, and I have the protection of my own soldiers, but I still almost died several times in the war. There are many masters in the world and many heroes. Even if you do my true inheritance, you can only say that you have the power to protect yourself. ”

After a pause, he stared at the sky again and said proudly: "Now I have Turks in the north of the Great Sui, Tuyuhun in the west, and Goryeo in the east, and the remnants of the Chen Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty in the south have not yet died of thieves and are trying to restore the country. In the future, you will most likely go into battle with the enemy like I did. If you don't want to be a corpse, you'll have to suffer a little more now! ”

After Li Jing finished speaking, he saw him take off his horse lance from the hook on the horse's back and start to row on the snow.
