"The older my master gets, the deeper his cultivation becomes...... It's just that his body can't keep up with his cultivation after all, he is forced to the peak, at most he has three or five punches, but these three or five punches are all over the world, and I am afraid that few people can catch them......"

The middle-aged man's words fell in his ears, and in his vision, Hongti's body rolled on the ground a few times, blood mixed with dust, and the color was dark red. Ning Yi walked over there, his eyes gloomy, and pressed the slightly painful forehead with his palm. He ran to Hongti's side and half-knelt down, reaching out to help her, but he didn't dare to do anything. Over there, Zhou Tong said, "You'd better not touch her." ”

Ning Yi glanced at Zhou Tong, and there was no joy or anger in his eyes. Not far away, Zhou Tong collected his breath with both hands and carried it behind his back: "Oh? You want to kill me? ”

Ning Yi didn't speak, Hongti's eyes shook, and she reached out to grab Ning Yi's arm, she struggled to get up, and "wow" spit out another mouthful of blood. Ning Yi hurriedly hugged her back. No matter how powerful Hongti's martial arts are, after all, she is a woman in her twenties, and her body looks extremely thin in the midst of injury, Ning Yi hugged her almost as carefully as possible, Hongti just grabbed his sleeve, and after a long time, he spoke: "Master Zhou doesn't want to kill people, I, I don't have anything to do......"

"You caught these three punches yourself, and it's hard to say that I don't want to kill." Zhou Tong looked at this, paused slightly, and said, "Your style of play was realized in the battle formation, but in the face of an old man like me, you want to keep your hand, which is very good." It is obviously a bit of an adventure for you to have such cultivation at your age, and it is not easy to do so. ”

He said this. Ning Yi didn't understand a little, but Hongti turned his head to look at Ning Yi. Zhou Tong noticed her movement, "Oh? I was a little surprised.

At this time, the middle-aged man had already walked over, Hongti struggled to sit up, and teased a little, she seemed to be quite serious when she was knocked to the ground, and the situation was getting better and better at this time. Zhou Tong waited for a while and said, "I don't know why you have hated Captain Gao, the old man used to teach in the Imperial Boxing Gym. It has a subordinate relationship with the Taiwei Mansion. It's a bit of incense. He also promised them that he would do something necessary for him when necessary. This time, I made a move from the Taiwei Mansion, using this relationship, but what I promised was the Taiwei Mansion. It doesn't have to be a captain. Gao Yu looked down on me. Let this be the end of the matter. You have to be careful. I'm in front of the county, if your injuries are gone, we can go together. ”

Ning Yi didn't speak beside Hongti. It's just that after Zhou Tong finished speaking, Hongti let out a breath, slowly stood up, and arched his hand under Ning Yi's support: "The three punches of the predecessors have inspired Hongti a lot, and if you succeed in the future, you must thank the seniors for their teaching." ”

"I'll beat you, you're injured but not dead, it's also your ability to break through, don't care about me." Zhou Tong was about to leave, but he remembered one more thing, and turned his head to look at Ning Yi, "By the way, Ning Gongzi is actually doing things under the right minister, right?" ”

"Almost." Ning Yi's tone was cold.

Zhou Tong nodded: "The right minister is a capable person, you are favored by him, no wonder you can do such a thing......" The voice was not high, and there was no sigh in the words.

When he became famous all over the world, it also happened to be the heyday of Qin Siyuan. The Royal Boxing Gym is subordinate to the Royal Family and the Ministry of War, and Qin Siyuan back then was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and in a sense, he was also one of his top bosses. Zhou Tong was determined to practice martial arts to serve the country all his life, and when he was teaching in the Imperial Boxing Gym, he also wrote several times to want to lead the army, but Qin Siyuan was originally a practical person, and he was not interested in being the first in the world in martial arts. Ning Yi wanted to study martial arts in Hangzhou at the beginning, and that old man had this attitude.

A person who is dedicated to practicing martial arts may not be able to train even if his martial arts are strong, just like Li Bai's poems are heroic, he himself may not be a capable official. Qin Siyuan was in charge of all opportunities at the beginning, the head of a royal boxing gym, if you pay attention, you will pay attention, and if you don't pay attention, you will be empty. Zhou Tong has no ambitions in officialdom in his life, and he may not have a reason for Qin Siyuan, but when he talks about Qin Siyuan at this time, he has to praise "He is a capable person". Ning Yi was able to win Qin Siyuan's appreciation, and in his opinion, his mood was probably a little complicated. For these reasons, Ning Yi was soon able to think clearly.

The other party didn't seem to be a killer in the end, but Ning Yi's mood was not necessarily good. But in the current state of affairs, the people of Liangshan have not yet appeared, and Hongti is also injured, he will not pay attention to any arrogance, since the other party opened his mouth to invite, Ning Yi also carried Hongti and hurriedly followed him into the city.

The people of Liangshan did not appear in the end.

Zhou Dong's master and servant took care of Hongti's injuries and walked unfast. Not long after, the four of them, who had known each other for a short time, and whose atmosphere and mood might not be harmonious, entered Yiyuan County, Ning Yi and Hongtitou stayed at the stack, and had a meal together in the evening. It can be seen that Zhou Tong doesn't necessarily have much affection for Ning Yi, but he is quite satisfied with the fact that Hongti, a junior in the martial arts, can have such skills, and in his words, he pointed out a lot of experience in the martial arts of Hongti. And when the meal was about to end, Zhou Tong still said something to Ning Yi.

"Ning Gongzi, I have something I want to ask you for."

His tone was flat, and Ning Yi was not necessarily enthusiastic: "You say, I'll listen." ”

Zhou Tong simply finished saying the matter of please, Ning Yi nodded noncommittally, and left with Hongti to return to the room soon after. He doesn't have a good impression of this world's number one master at the moment, although intellectually he can understand the various bad habits of this kind of master, and maybe it will be good for Red Grape, but thinking about Red Tiao's injury, he doesn't necessarily have a good mood. It's just that this kind of disgust is not enough to kill him, this kind of master is too powerful, to Zhou Dong's cultivation, the autumn wind has not moved the cicada first, and if he is disgusted with him and does not plan to kill him, it is better not to deal with him in the future.

It's just that he also has some opinions in his heart about red grapes. Sent Hongti back to the room, grabbed some medicine according to the recipe she gave and boiled it and sent it, and then brought her hot water to wash her face, prepared towels and other things, Ning Yi was ready to speak. And Hong Ti seemed quite satisfied with this disciple's behavior of "respecting the teacher", and she was told by Ning Yi not to move, so she also sat on the edge of the bed. With his hands flat on his lap, he watched Ning Yi busily settle her, with a smile on his face, his face was red, like a little daughter-in-law. But then it was read.

And the first thing people say is often "I didn't say you." ”

"I didn't say you." Ning Yi frowned and said, "I can't help it a little in the afternoon." People are the best in the world, iron-armed Zhou Dong, I have said it many times. This kind of old man said he was going to beat you. For the sake of face, I must beat you. You're still holding your hand. The old man said that you want to keep your hand, don't admit it, you are only in your twenties, and you are not invincible in the world. I want to keep my hand in front of Zhou Tong. After you say it, everyone will say that you deserve to be killed. You think you are Fang La or Sikong Nan! ”

Since the afternoon, Ning Yi has been thinking about this matter in his heart. With his ability to cultivate qi, he can certainly keep all his emotions in his heart and his own people in front of others. It's a little more straightforward. It's just that after saying this, Hongti also looked at him over there, and his smile became deeper, but his tone seemed aggrieved.

"You...... I really want to fight with Senior Zhou without leaving my hands? ”

"You can't keep your hands...... In addition, don't call him Senior Zhou, I don't have a good impression of him. ”

"But...... You also heard, I am practicing the style of play above the battle array, and it is a life-and-death fight to shoot with all my strength, but it is okay to fight against those who are lower in martial arts. For this senior Zhou, if I don't keep my hand, he won't be able to keep my hand either. If you want to divide the victory and defeat today, you will be able to die endlessly...... In that case, I would have died today......"

Hongti said that his tone was soft, Ning Yi frowned, and his expression stiffened for a moment before waving his hand: "That's it...... Then forget it, this guy's martial arts are indeed too high, he can fight like that with three punches...... It's an old monster......"

Hongti shook his head and said, "No, if he really wanted to kill at that time, I could still get up and protect you immediately......

Speaking of this, his face turned slightly red, and Ning Yi was stunned: "That...... You...... Deceitful ......"

The red-faced woman continued to shake her head vigorously: "No, I had to get up and fight for my life immediately, and the injury will be difficult to heal in the future. Well...... It's always better that way......"

After calmly finishing these words, Hongti's face returned to normal and glanced at Ning Yi.

"However, Senior Zhou's thing to ask you for...... Are you ready to promise him? ”

Ning Yi's face became serious, and after a moment, he shook his head indifferently: "Let's talk about it......"

**************

Since Ning Yi and the others stayed in the inn, it wasn't long before people from the government and Dulonggang scattered around the county town to find him came over. After Ning Yi settled down the red grapes, he contacted them one by one and made arrangements, since he was fine, there were red grapes and Zhou Dong in the inn, and the servant named "Fulu" beside Zhou Dong was there, and next, there was a large-scale cleaning of Zhuxi and Anping counties by the officers and soldiers and Dulonggang, and Ning Yi did not have too much follow-up trouble.

When he approached these people, Zhou Tong also looked nearby, and then he could only sigh at the skills of this young man, and the catastrophe of Qilu Green Forest seemed inevitable. It's just that with his mood and thoughts at this time, he is too lazy to stand up for these green forest people, in a sense, on Zhou Dong's side, there is probably a feeling of "poor people must have something to hate", some things, really take the blame, and blame people.

On this day, in this inn in Yiyuan County, Ning Yi and Hongti lived in two upper rooms, and Zhou Tong lived in an independent small courtyard at the back of the inn that originally belonged to the boss due to his relationship with the boss. I don't know if it's because of habit or what, when the night was getting deeper, Zhou Tong didn't sleep, he slowly practiced a set of boxing in the courtyard, and then sat and drank tea, lit an oil lamp and wrote martial arts scriptures until late at night. When the time had passed, he took a wooden stick in the courtyard and practiced a simple stick technique, and soon the night watchman struck a gong. Outside the back door of the courtyard, a figure hesitated on the dark road, had been wandering for a long time, and when he finally mustered up a little courage, the courtyard door opened, and the light soaked out of it, and the one who appeared at the door was the middle-aged man Fu Lu, who was a servant of Zhou Dong, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to the man outside.

"Little Brother Lin Chong, don't think about it, just come in."

"Senior Brother ......" It was Lin Chong who was standing on the street outside the door at this time, with tears in his eyes, "I saw Master coming today...... Master, his old man......"

"Shhhh He knows everything about the master. ”

Lin Chong nodded, walked inside, and when he entered the courtyard gate, he saw the old man standing in the corner of the courtyard waving the stick in his hand slightly. His eyes were hot, and he knelt down. Head down.

"Master......"

It seemed that there were thousands of words blocked in his throat, Lin Chong choked up, but he couldn't speak, he only kowtowed three times, and the old man waved his stick in the corner of the wall, but he didn't speak, he kept kneeling on the ground.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the courtyard, in the night, there was only the occasional sound of Zhou Tong swinging his bat. Under the eaves over here. Fu Lu cuffed his sleeves and stood there quietly watching. After nearly half an hour of this, the stick in Zhou Tong's hand stopped, and the old voice sounded.

"You...... What to do? ”

************

“…… What are you here to do? ”

The almost suffocating silence in the courtyard was only eased slightly. Lin Chong knelt there. The figure trembled slightly. He has been practicing martial arts since childhood. The Zhou Dong in front of him may not be his closest master, but he is definitely the most important master. All this is also due to the fact that the Imperial Gym is not a private martial arts gym. Even if Zhou Tong accepts disciples behind closed doors, the number of disciples is not small, and the relationship between master and apprentice may not be as close as that of ordinary private martial arts halls.

For Zhou Tong, Lin Chong was reverent in his heart. But for this reason, when Zhou Tong left the Royal Boxing Gym a few years ago, the master and apprentice actually had no contact, and because of this, when he had an accident, he couldn't find or think of asking this master for help. Later, when the grass fell, Lin Chong, who knew that Zhou Dong had a correct personality, knew that there was no turning back. He hadn't thought that he would be able to meet this master who had been idle since he left, but now that he had seen him, he had to come.

In fact, in his heart, how much more can he not expect the understanding of these relatives and friends who have become less and less?

"Disciples, disciples have no choice but to fall into the grass, and they know that the master will definitely punish them, but ......"

"Reprimand?" Before Lin Chong finished speaking, the old man over there had already laughed, "Punishment...... Why should I chastise you? Lin Chong, I'm old, and you're the opposite. What is the anti? The world's family and country, human ethics and apprentices, it will be difficult to use them to bind you, why should I punish you and punish you...... Is it still useful? ”

Lin Chong's forehead fell: "Only the master's teachings, Lin Chong has never dared to forget, but ...... It's really an unspeakable grievance......"

"I know the way!" The old man raised his voice, then nodded, "I know what you have been through, I have heard about it!" Your wife was favored by the Gao Yanei, and you also hated Gao Taiwei because of this, and the villain was a hindrance and framed! You are cornered, and you are left behind. These...... I've heard it all! But I just want to ask you one thing. ”

Zhou Tong stood in front of the courtyard, putting the stick on the ground, and Lin Chong raised his head slightly: "Master......"

"All I ask is you! Why do you want to fall into the grass!? ”

The words echoed in the courtyard, and there was a little hesitation and confusion in Lin Chong's eyes: "Disciple...... Desperate......"

"Why do you have to fall into the grass when you are cornered!?"

"Is there anything to do with being cornered and falling into the grass!?"

"Do you remember what I said!?"

These three questions echoed in the courtyard and sounded in Lin Chong's ears, and Lin Chong's eyes were confused: "Disciple...... I don't know what Master said......"

Zhou Tong laughed: "I have forgotten, it doesn't matter, stand up for me!" Pull out your gun! I taught you martial arts, do you remember? ”

"Disciple dare not forget......" Lin Chong staggered to his feet, and took out the steel gun behind his back with his backhand. I only heard Zhou Tong say: "Put up a situation and show me!" Lin Chong made a horizontal spear stance, and Zhou Tong said: "The spear is forward!" Lin Chong pointed the tip of the gun in front of him, and Zhou Tong strode over: "Okay!" You're here to kill me! ”

Lin Chong's body shook, the spear in his hand almost fell, and Zhou Dong over there held a wooden stick in one hand, without any defensive moves: "Come on!" Come and kill me! What are you waiting for! ”

"Disciple ......"

"Less wordy! Less hesitation! You are a rebel! You are against the son of this country! You deserve to shoot at anyone! Think about your wife! Think about the wrongs you've suffered! You are desperate and can only fall into the grass! You only survived to rob others! Eat other people's flesh and drink other people's blood! People like you should let go of all taboos! Since you have fallen into the grass, you should kill all the people who stand in your way, I have a pedantic temperament, and I will not allow you to fall into the grass, what can it be to kill a master! Come on! Kill me, stab me here! Here—"

Zhou Tong shouted loudly, step by step, although he held the stick in one hand, he did not have any defensive posture, grabbed the tip of Lin Chong's gun, aimed it at his throat, and then aimed it at his heart. Lin Chong hesitated to retreat, barely holding the gun. In fact, if Zhou Tong said that he wanted to test his martial arts, he might dare to make a move, but what Zhou Dong said was "kill me". For Shi Shi, he didn't dare to make a move no matter what.

Zhou Tong let go of the tip of the gun and sneered: "Arrogant! Your master was the number one in the world a few years ago, and you can kill me if I let you make a move? You don't even dare to shoot? Are you really afraid to kill me!? ”

Lin Chong let go of the steel gun and knelt on the ground with a thud.

In the past, there was no heart-to-heart between master and apprentice, and in the Royal Boxing Gym, although Zhou Dong taught martial arts strictly, when the master and apprentice were not too close, he only knew the seriousness and decency of Zhou Dong. When he came over tonight, he had thought about all kinds of treatment he had received, whether it was scolding him, punishing him, scolding him, understanding him, or even killing him, all of which were in line with his understanding of this master in his heart. However, after he really arrived, everything that happened was beyond Lin Chong's expectations, similar to how you should kill everything when you fall into the grass, you think you can kill me. Every sentence is heart-wrenching. At this point, he could only kneel down, and there was already a resolute look in his eyes.

"The disciple knows that he has sinful karma, and it is difficult to wash it away, and it is difficult for him to be forgiven by the master. But although Lin Chong went up the mountain and fell into the grass, he never forgot his morality in his heart. No matter what you don't dare to shoot at the master today, the master will kill ......"

With a decision in his heart, this passage became decisive, he knelt there, his eyes were clear and firm, but standing not far in front of him, the tall Zhou Tong had already laughed, as if he had heard some sarcastic nonsense.

"Haha......ha Ha Lu Ha Ha Ha - morality in the heart, no time or forget, Ha Lu Ha ...... I'll fuck you—"

The first person in the world stepped forward, and at the moment when Lin Chong looked up in astonishment, he kicked Lin Chong in the chest. The force of this kick was so great that Lin Chong's whole person flew out of the rear, slamming open the wooden door of the courtyard like a cannonball, and his figure rolled out of the dark street outside the courtyard, and he didn't know how far he was kicked away.

Zhou Dong's voice came from the courtyard, and there was a kind of disheartenness in his words after discovering that the rotten wood was difficult to carve.

"I'm going to ...... in the future Without you as a disciple, coward. ”

The sound of the wind whining blew through the long street, and the night was as dark as ink, and in that darkness there was only the sound of blood dripping down......

Soon after, someone staggered to his feet, staggered there, and staggered away......

In the room of the inn at the back, someone was secretly listening to the movement here, but at this time he shook his head with some sighs.

"Hey, there's a good master......"

At the door of the courtyard, Fu Lu stood there quietly and watched for a long time, until he watched the figure in the dark cough up blood like a lost dog and leave, and then silently closed the courtyard door.
