In the arena, a soldier had just won the victory, and he proudly shouted in the field: "Who else is going to come out to compete!" ”

Just when the others compared their strength with his, Shi Ci directly entered the field, "I'll meet you." "The result was obvious, the man simply lost.

Shi Ci then challenged in the middle of the court, winning 49 games in a row. Ordinary soldiers were no match at all, and they didn't survive a single round before he knocked them out.

As long as he wins one more game, Shi Ci can get the best results in all three competitions.

It's just that at this time, a strong man who was half a head taller than him stood in the middle of the field and said to him excitedly: "I will be your opponent." ”

Shi Ci was about to agree, but another person dressed as a general came out, grabbed the strong man, and begged bitterly: "General Zheng, don't make trouble, go back quickly, otherwise the general will blame again." ”

The strong man is, of course, Zheng Meng.

"Why, you dare to stop me?" Zheng Meng glared at a pair of bull's eyes, intimidating Wang He who blocked him.

Wang He smiled bitterly, when Tian Jian presided over the recruitment here a few days ago, he was just because he stopped Zheng Meng, who wanted to compete with the recruits, and he was broken a leg, which was a disaster.

Although the doctor finally said that there was no big problem, and he would recover after a year and a half of cultivation, and Zhang Hao took Zheng Meng to apologize in person afterwards, but during this time of recuperation, Tian Jian could not participate in any war.

But he was afraid in his heart, and he still had to stop it: "Shouldn't General Zheng have thought about it behind closed doors at home at this moment, if the general knows that you ran away and went back to the school to make trouble, I'm afraid the general's punishment will be heavier." ”

As soon as he talked about this, Zheng Meng became angry. Originally, he didn't want to hurt Tian Jian, but he happened to be angry that day.

In a few days, it will be time for him to marry Xiaorou. As a result, his aunt Zheng sent someone to inform his father.

Originally, the Zheng family was still worried that the Zhang family did not take care of themselves after gaining power, but now they suddenly learned that Zheng Meng was made a marquis and was about to get married, so the family moved to Xiangping.

After coming, Zheng Meng's father Zheng Jing and his wife changed their previous attitude and cared for Zheng Meng very much. This is nothing, the world is cold and the people are cold and warm, Zheng Meng simply doesn't pay attention to these things.

But the two of them are talking nonsense all day long, what Xiaorou is just the daughter of a doctor, and the Zheng family is a famous family, and Zheng Meng is even more noble, and the two are not the right households.

Zheng Meng was so annoyed that he had to come here to talk to others to relieve his boredom, but he accidentally injured Tian Jian and was punished by Zhang Hao. This made his mood worse, and now Wang He came to stop him.

"Dare to use my brother to press me, don't you dare to do it when I do?" Zheng Meng said that he was about to do it.

Shi Ci spoke out to stop him: "This general, since this General Zheng wants to compete with Zaixia, it is okay to have a competition." ”

"I think you don't want to die, General Zheng is not light or heavy, if you miss, your life will be gone." Wang He roared loudly.

Zheng Meng laughed out loud and pushed Wang He away: "Did you hear it, everyone agreed, and they didn't let me go." ”

Wang He had no choice but to be anxious. Since he can't persuade them, he can only go to Zhang Hao.

Zheng Meng asked: "Hey, boy, it's not interesting to wrestle just by wrestling, it's better for us to fight on horses, how about it?" ”

"There is no objection to the subordinates, and they all obey the general's orders."

"Good!"

Zheng Meng asked people to bring two horses, and then the two of them each went to choose their own weapons. Zheng Meng chose a long knife, while Shi Ci took a long halberd.

"Kill!" The two burst into applause and killed together.

……

On a rare day off, Zhang Hao can finally put down all his official duties and accompany his children at home.

It stands to reason that boys are generally more clingy to their mothers, and girls are clinging to their fathers. But Zhang Si is the opposite, he likes to follow Zhang Hao very much.

Now at the age of six, he has begun to read and write under the teaching of his grandfather Zhang Zhen. And after finishing his homework every day, his favorite thing is to pester Zhang Hao and ask his father to tell him stories.

It is precisely because of the classic stories that Zhang Hao told that later generations attracted Zhang Si, so that although he could not see Zhang Hao from time to time, he was still closer to Zhang Hao.

Boys from poor families also begin to learn various labor skills at this age. And a boy from a rich family like Zhang Si also began to study and work hard to inherit the family business in the future.

Zhang Hao sighed in his heart, no matter what time or family background, it is not easy for boys, they can't have fun at this age of fun.

“…… Sha Wujing said anxiously to Sun Wukong: "Senior brother, the master was captured by robbers......"

Zhang Hao moved a bed and put it in the courtyard, sat face to face with his son, and talked about the adapted journey to the west. And Fang Wan was pregnant again, she had a big belly, sitting next to her and happily watching the father and son.

Originally, the four masters and apprentices learned scriptures from the west, but Zhang Hao changed it into the story of the four masters and apprentices going to Tianzhu to find treasures. After all, Buddhism has been introduced, but it is not yet the mainstream religion.

And Zhang Hao didn't believe in this in the first place, and of course he wouldn't teach his children what Buddhism was.

After talking again, Zhang Hao said to his son: "Okay, that's all for today's story, and I'll tell you the rest later." What's next for you? ”

Zhang Si had an unfinished look on his face, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, his father only told the story once every time, and he also told one thing several times.

"Father, you said that if you keep going west, can you really go to that country of abundance where everyone can eat without hard work, and there is gold everywhere?" Zhang Si said yearningly.

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Do you remember what your father told you about Zhang Qian? ”

"I remember that it was the great hero who was ordered by Emperor Wu to hollow out the Western Regions two hundred years ago."

"That Zhang Qian has been to Tianzhu before, so if we want to go, we will definitely be able to go there."

"Really? Then I must go there in the future to see if it is really so rich. ”

Hearing his son's ambition, Zhang Hao smiled and touched his little head: "Well, my son will definitely be able to go to Tianzhu when he grows up." ”

As long as future generations do not give up this pioneering spirit, perhaps after thousands of years, the southern continent will also be turned into a sacred and inalienable territory in China since ancient times.

"Father, let's play archery together, Uncle Zheng handed me a lot of skills before, I will definitely win you this time." Zhang Si stood up and said happily.

Zhang Hao thought: archery? This is not his strong point, and this kid is so small, can he pull a bow?

Every time the father and son finish telling the story, they will think of a project to come out to compete, and the result is naturally that Zhang Hao wins every time. However, the little guy is born to refuse to admit defeat, he is so young, he recovers after being discouraged for a while after failure, and he will threaten to win next time.

After Zhang Si finished speaking, he ran into the room and took out a small wooden bow: "Father, look, this is what Uncle Zheng helped me make." ”

Zhang Hao also got out of bed, stood up and said, "Okay, today our father and son will use bows and arrows to compete for the winner." ”

"General! General, no! ”

Seeing Wang He directly shouting and breaking in, Zhang Hao didn't blame, but asked, "Don't panic, what's wrong?" ”

"General, General Zheng is going to the school field again, and he is still competing with a new recruit!" Wang He said anxiously.

"This guy is getting me in trouble again." Zhang Hao had no choice but to apologize to his son, "Si'er, you wait a minute, you can come when you go for your father." ”

……

On the school field, Zheng Meng and Shi Ci have fought for no less than 50 rounds, and the two are evenly matched. But Shi Ci's physical strength gradually ran out, and he had fallen behind.

"It's so exciting, I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you could fight me for so long. But you look like you're dying, do you want to throw in the towel? ”

Shi Ci didn't speak, but the movements of his hands were fast again, obviously he was angered by Zheng Meng's words.

"Since you don't admit defeat, then don't blame me." Zheng Meng swung his sword as he spoke, and his strength was much greater than before.

The halberd in Shi Ci's hand was almost split and flew out, he was surprised in his heart, didn't this guy use all his strength before?

Zheng Meng is several years older than Shi Ci, and he is much better than Shi Ci in every aspect. If Shi Ci is still growing, then Zheng Meng is approaching the peak of his life.

Zheng Meng took advantage of the situation and wanted to continue the attack, but was stopped by Zhang Hao, who arrived. "What are you doing!"

If there is anyone else in this world that Zheng Meng fears, it is two people. One is his fiancée Xiaorou, and the other is his cousin Zhang Hao.

Zheng Meng withdrew the long knife held in mid-air, and said embarrassedly: "Brother, why are you here, hehehe." ”

The veterans present all saluted Zhang Hao and shouted in unison: "Meet the general!" ”

Shi Ci knew in his heart that this was Zhang Hao, the general of Pingbei, who looked a few years older than him.

Zhang Hao walked towards Shi Ci, and when he passed by Zheng Meng, he said, "I'll settle accounts with you later." ”

"Meet the General." When Shi Ci saw Zhang Hao walking towards him, he also gave a military salute.

Zhang Hao also replied: "I'm Zhang Hao, the general of Pingbei, I'm sorry, my cousin has caused you trouble." ”

"No, no, no, General Zheng and I are learning martial arts, and the general doesn't have to apologize."

"Yes, brother, I'm playing with him." Zheng Meng interjected at the right time, but was glared back by Zhang Hao.

"The little brother is not only superb in martial arts, but also proficient in riding and archery, I don't know if I can tell the name." Zhang Hao came to see his results, and also knew that he filled in Shi Ci when he registered, which made him think of another person. I want to confirm this now.

"My surname is Shi Mingci, and I am a person from Donglai."

Donglai? The ape arm is good at shooting, and the force is superior, so it should be that person.

"I heard that there is a Cao official named Tai Shici in Donglai County, who resigned and fled because he destroyed the general seal of the state capital, could it be you? It's too perfunctory for you to change your name to Shi Ci," Zhang Hao said with a smile.

Tai Shi Ci was shocked, his own affairs spread to Liaodong so quickly? He was just about to explain: "The general is wrong, my surname is Shi, not Taishi......"

"Don't explain, explanation is a cover-up." Zhang Hao said, "Besides, this is not a big deal, here you can rest assured and boldly show your true face, I guarantee that no one will trouble you." ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Since the general has said so, then I will admit that I am indeed Tai Shi Ci, and I came to the general to join the army just to find a way out." But in order not to cause trouble to the general, I still walked well. ”

Are you still here? If you let you go, I won't have to worry about those famous ministers and generals in the future, I won't be able to keep them anyway.

"The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements. If you've decided to come to me to join the army, why do you want to leave? ”

Tai Shici was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were full of shock when he looked at Zhang Hao, isn't this his ambition?

Zhang Hao was very satisfied when he saw him, and believed that Tai Shici must have resonated, because this was what he said, although it was his last words.
