After more than ten days of bumps on the road, I finally arrived at the Qi country, the Qi country is worthy of being a big country in the world that can be compared with the Wei country, this national strength is also very strong, now look at the countries in the world, Qi Wei is a first-class power, followed by Qin Zhao, and then Chu Yanhan, Zhongshan is also getting stronger, Zhongshan country also claims to be the king, the above are big countries, and the rest are small countries.

In this Warring States era, the king's favorite thing to do on a daily basis was to annex the surrounding small states to expand their territory. A pot of spirits, a three-foot sword on the map, the king overlooks the world, all of them are ambitious.

In the battle thirteen years ago, the Qin State could have destroyed the Southern Underworld in one fell swoop and became a first-class military power in the world, but for some reason, Zhao Lie retreated quickly after breaking through the imperial city of the Southern Underworld, only to learn afterwards that the king of the Qin State suddenly died violently, and the government was unstable and unable to attack other countries. Zhao Lie had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army.

Qi is a big country with the most businessmen in the world, Qi City is very lively, the flow of people is crowded, the place by the sea can also smell the salty sea flavor, there are many fishing boats parked in the port, there are officials and ordinary people, the fishing boats of the common people have only one purpose, that is, they are used to fish to make a living, and the fishing boats of the official family are used for the nobles to play.

Chu Xiaoyang and they separated as soon as they entered Linzi City, Chu Xiaoyang said that if there was anything to help, they could go to the Gu Mansion to find him, Chu Xiaoyang wanted to invite the two of them to the mansion for a meal, but Liang San disagreed, saying that he had been taken care of by Chu Gongzi a lot, and he would definitely repay Chu Gongzi well in this life, as long as Chu Gongzi needed to be the saddle before and after the horse, he would serve Chu Gongzi.

This person is like this, as long as you are in desperation, someone is willing to reach out to help you, you will be grateful to Dade and remember it for the rest of your life.

After seeing the extravagance and luxury of the Great Liang of the Wei State, and seeing the prosperity of Linzi of the Qi State, I stopped for two months, and finally arrived home.

Gu Qing was wearing a water-blue wide-sleeved Luo skirt, she was wearing a blue hairpin, and the seventeen-year-old girl stood slim at the gate looking forward to it. Seeing someone coming, she ran up happily and called Brother Xiaoyang sweetly.

"You are?" Chu Xiaoyang looked at the girl in front of him, feeling familiar and familiar.

The girl snorted, hugged her hands, turned her head not to look at Chu Xiaoyang, and blamed her mouth: "Brother Xiaoyang, it's good!" I went out to practice and study, and when I saw the world, I didn't know Qing'er anymore. ”

"It turned out to be Sister Qing'er, Sister Qing'er, don't be angry, it's not like we haven't seen each other for many years, I didn't recognize it all of a sudden, Qing'er don't blame!" Chu Xiaoyang immediately compensated no.

Gu Qing is the only girl in the Gu family, the baby is very good, Gu Ren took two wives and concubines, and gave birth to three sons and a small daughter, this Gu Qing was born to the original wife Lin, the family loves this daughter very much, this daughter has been protected in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she is well protected, so her temperament is very simple, there is no heart and eye, and the best thing is that she does not have the temper and shelf of the eldest lady. Therefore, when Chu Xiaoyang said this, he immediately smiled, and happily led Chu Xiaoyang into the mansion.

"Daddy, Daddy! Brother Xiaoyang is back! Gu Qing shouted as he walked, his eyes were full of happiness and joy, his eyes were simple and shining, he was enthusiastic about everyone, and he looked like an innocent and cute little girl.

"Hahaha, Xiaoyang is back!" Gu Ren came out of the inner mansion, the appearance of a man in his forties, probably a lot of entertainment at the wine table, and his body was slightly blessed.

"Father-in-law, Xiaoyang is back!" Chu Xiaoyang hugged Gu Ren.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Gu Ren patted Chu Xiaoyang's back, it was the elder's love for his juniors, looking at Gu Ren's eyes full of happiness, it could be seen that he loved Chu Xiaoyang from the bottom of his heart.

Since thirteen years ago, in that disastrous war, Gu Ren was entrusted to raise this child, and Gu Ren has always treated this child as if it were his own son. I thought that the little boy who had experienced the hardships he had experienced, after seeing so many bloody and cruel things, thought that he would be a little depressed and autistic in the future, but he didn't expect that this child would have a high fever for days and days, and he had a serious illness, and he forgot everything when he woke up.

Gu Ren told the child that you were a refugee child, met you on the road, and saw that you were young and pitiful, so he took you in as his adopted son. You are a person from Nanming, Nanming's surname is Chu, the dragon soars in the nine heavens, and the sun is in the sky, so I named you Chu Xiaoyang.

Seeing that this child has reached the age of going to school, Gu Ren intends to find a good teacher for Chu Xiaoyang, since he promised the old general, then he will do his best to raise Chu Xiaoyang to adulthood. Gu Ren has been firmly in mind the entrustment of Wulingjun Feng Temple for so many years, the old general is the benefactor of their Gu family, it can be said that this Gu family has all this today, all of which are carried by Wulingjun Feng Temple, Feng Temple is the benefactor of the Gu family, so even if something happens to the Gu family, they must protect Chu Xiaoyang's safety.

Gu Ren was looking for a good teacher, and sure enough, the hard work paid off, on a sunny afternoon, an old man came to visit, and the old man's words, Gu Ren still remembered it in his heart.

The old man had white hair, he said that his surname was Li, and he was a hermit in Zhongnan Mountain, and he went out to march, passing through Gufu, and when he was thirsty, he came in and asked for a bowl of water to drink.

The old man Hefa sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, he was smiling and wiping the sweat on his head, and his amiable appearance made Gu Ren respect a little. Gu Ren is a veteran of socializing at the wine table, he has seen all kinds of people, and when he saw the old man's fairy style, he felt that this person must be extraordinary.

The old man laughed and said, "It's really hot this weather, the old man came in and begged for a bowl of water to drink!"

Gu Ren immediately called the servant to bring herbal tea, the old man drank two large bowls, feeling very comfortable, and the old man wiped the water stains from his mouth with his sleeve.

The old man leaned over to express his gratitude to Gu Ren, saying that Gu Zhan Cabinet was worthy of being a good person praised by the people, and this Qi Kingdom Linzi City knew that Gu Ren was thick, friendly to others, and was a good person.

Just as the old man was about to leave after thanking him, a little kid rushed out of the inner mansion, hugged Gu Ren's thigh, and called out to his father-in-law.

Chu Xiaoyang looked at the old man for a long time, blinked a pair of big eyes, and finally a sentence popped out of his mouth.

"Where did this come from, Hanako?"

Gu Ren felt very embarrassed, and raised his hand to teach this stinky kid who didn't know how to be polite.

"Xiaoyang is too rude, quickly apologize to the old gentleman!" Gu Ren grabbed Chu Xiaoyang's collar.

"This kid is naughty, it doesn't matter, besides, the old man is dusty all the way, and he smells sour, isn't it called Hanako!" The old man was happy, and he didn't care at all about the child's ignorance.

"Humph! I can see a lot of people like you, and they come several times a month, all to ask my stepfather for money!" Chu Xiaoyang snorted arrogantly, quite proud, with such a wealthy father-in-law, he felt more than a dozen pride and pride in his heart.

"Even those princes and nobles of the Qi Kingdom must respect and respect my father-in-law when they see me, and call my father-in-law Lord Gu in a proper manner! I see that you must have asked my father-in-law for this, what did you give him, father-in-law? Little Chu Xiaoyang blinked with a pair of big eyes, and he looked up at his stepfather.

"Yang'er, don't be unreasonable, the old man just came in and asked his father-in-law for a bowl of water to drink!"

"Really?" Chu Xiaoyang grabbed Gu Ren's sleeves with a pair of small hands.

"yes!" Gu Ren rubbed Chu Xiaoyang's little head with his big hand fondly.

Chu Xiaoyang sighed, and said a little novel in his mouth, so it turned out to be like this.

"The old gentleman is a hermit in Zhongnan Mountain, he went out to march, passed by our house, and when he was thirsty, he came in and begged for a bowl of water to drink. Yang'er is not happy to compensate the old gentleman! ”

Chu Xiaoyang also felt that he had misunderstood others, and felt a little guilty in his heart, so he bowed his head and said sorry, it was Xiaoyang who was unreasonable and had no intention of offending the old gentleman, and I hope the old gentleman will not blame him.

The old man naturally doesn't care about children, and praised this child for being smart and clever, and he will be a master of big things in the future, and he will be the man of the year in the world.

When Gu Ren heard this, his heart suddenly moved, thinking that Wuling Jun Feng Temple is a well-known big man in the world, and the descendants of this old general must also be extraordinary, if it is really as the old man said, it is buried, then I am really sorry for the old general.

Gu Ren hurriedly bowed and bowed deeply, and asked the old man to accept Chu Xiaoyang as an apprentice.

Chu Xiaoyang was anxious when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, Xiaoyang don't learn the art of war with the old man. Yang'er wants to be a general who gallops on the battlefield and kills the Quartet with majesty, I want to learn martial arts, I don't want to learn the art of war! ”

"Since Yang'er wants to be that majestic general, then he has to learn the art of war!" Gu Ren said with a smile.

"Why?" Chu Xiaoyang looked at Gu Ren with a pair of big eyes, in this world, he listened to his father-in-law the most, and whatever his father-in-law said was what he said, because his father-in-law was the best person for him in the world.

"Because if you want to be a good general, you have to learn a lot of things, if the general doesn't know the art of war, only knows how to charge into battle, just has a good martial arts, but doesn't know the art of war, it can only be said that he is brave, brave but not strategic. If you learn this art of war, you can command thousands of troops and command millions of soldiers! Sir, do you think I'm right? Gu Ren taught and explained patiently.

The old man nodded in agreement with Gu Ren's statement. The old man's bamboo cane touched the ground, he got up and said, "A thousand troops are easy to get, but one will be hard to find!" If you want to become an excellent general, you must have excellent military theory, so that you can command thousands of troops and command millions of soldiers! Of course, this general is not just a general, the first thing is to have excellent military theory, which is indispensable for learning the art of war! ”
