Zhou Tong's words made Sun Tu slightly stunned: "Do the seniors think that if they are in the official family, they must be the ones who work for the tiger, so they feel that the younger generations are unbearable to worship the subordinates?" ”

"What do you mean, the old man naturally understands, it is true that there are many heroes in the public family, not to mention it far away, just say that the famous Shandong Shiyu Song Jiang in the rivers and lakes is a county official, and I will not be prejudiced against this identity. But the old man has also heard a sentence, in the government often can't help himself, can you really uphold justice without deviation? Zhou Tong looked at Sun Tu and said slowly.

Sun Tu was silent for a moment before he said: "The younger generation thinks that there is a more appropriate sentence, then it is good to practice in the public." Holding power in hand may be evil, but if you have a good heart, the people in the government will do more than waiting for idle clothes. In fact, the same is true for martial arts, the level of martial arts is not the root of judging whether a person is good or evil, or in the heart. ”

"Oh? In this way, do you think that you can work for the benefit of the people in the officialdom? ”

"I don't dare to assert that I will not do anything wrong in the future, but my Sun Tu has always acted only to be worthy of heaven and self, even if there is a lot of resistance in the officialdom, I will not change this position!" Speaking of this, Sun Tu's face had become extremely solemn, and he was almost about to stand up.

Just when Zhou Tong was slightly surprised by his words, a surprised voice came from the door: "Ah, you are now the Sun Tu who is now rumored by many people in the city and is known as the iron-faced Yama?" ”

Sun Tu and Zhou Tong both turned their heads to look at the past when they heard this, it turned out that the coachman did not completely close the courtyard door after going out, at this time there were two people standing at the door, in front of the head was a red-faced, long braid, handsome and energetic girl, at this moment was blinking a pair of big eyes were looking Sun Tu up and down curiously, behind her, there was a little girl of the same age, but more quiet.

It wasn't until she felt that the four eyes of the two people in front of the table were staring at her a little strangely, that she sighed a little shyly, and sneered forward and squatted down: "Grandpa, Wan'er didn't disturb your conversation, right?" ”

Zhou Tong, who originally came from the grandmaster's bearing, showed a doting and helpless smile on his face at the moment, patted the girl's shoulder with his hand and said: "You girl, you don't say a word to Grandpa when you go out and come back, and now you still speak casually, it's really unruly." ”

"I was also a little surprised when I heard that his name was Sun Tucai, so I said it faster." The girl playfully stuck out her tongue, and then looked at Sun Tu: "You are really that Sun Tu, you won't be angry with me, right?" ”

Sun Tu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Miss Zhou's words are serious, and you didn't do anything wrong or say anything wrong." ”

"Then you are really the head of the iron-masked Yama Sun who is now well-known in Tokyo City." The girl immediately became interested again, circled around Sun Tu, looked at him carefully and said, "You don't look very fierce, how can you get such an ugly name, and you are actually called Yama." ”

Sun Tu didn't know how to deal with this somewhat rude girl, so he could only smile bitterly. Seeing this, Zhou Tong could only scold: "Wan'er must not be so rude." Then he smiled at Sun Tu and said: "This girl has been watched by the old man since she was a child, and she is a little spoiled, and she doesn't know the etiquette. ”

"Miss Zhou is just innocent, of course it's not rude." Sun Tu had recovered from his initial surprise at this time, and smiled at the girl as he spoke: "My name may have been obtained because I killed a lot of bad people." ”

These words immediately attracted Zhou Tong's attention, but before he could open his mouth to ask, his granddaughter was already in a hurry to speak: "I have also heard this, you brought the people in the yamen a few days ago to arrest or kill all the people who are pink swallows, and they killed more than they were arrested." Is it true that you drowned hundreds of people, they said? ”

Sun Tu nodded: "This is true, Pink Swallow and a gang of thieves have done a lot of evil in the capital, abducting many innocent girls and selling them to other places, these poor women are either slaves or prostitutes, how many people are heartbroken because of this, I am just to eliminate harm for the people." What's more, in order to ensure that those thieves have killed many people who may reveal their identities, I have not shown mercy to their subordinates, even if there are many obstructions in the court. ”

"You've really killed so many people?" The girl immediately took a step back with some cringe, but her eyes were full of curiosity: "Then can you tell me how you killed them?" ”

Sun Tu's gaze swept over Zhou Tong, and after finding that the old man was also paying attention to his answer, he simply said the key to everything that happened before. After saying this, the girl exclaimed repeatedly, and Zhou Tong's face also showed a little deep thought.

After listening to his story, the girl nodded and said, "You say so, some of the Pink Swallows really deserve to die, but many of those who fled underground have died a little unjustly. Do you regret it?"

"It was such a situation that I had no choice." Sun Tu said with an unchanged face: "And I won't regret it, if I do it again, I will still let people flood them." Now in this world, even those who are good and do their duty may not have a good result, and I should do everything I can to eliminate evil! ”

"You're so murderous!" Zhou Tong suddenly opened his mouth thoughtfully: "Do you want to worship the old man as a teacher for this purpose?" ”

"Yes, I want to do something for the world and the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so I hope to grow in both official positions and martial arts." At this time, Sun Tu no longer hid it, and immediately got up and hugged his fists and said: "I hope that my predecessors can accept me as an apprentice, so that I will have the opportunity to go to the next level in martial arts." ”

The girl understood a little, looked at Sun Tu, and then looked at her grandfather, so she stepped forward and pulled the placket of Zhou Dong's clothes, leaned in and whispered something in his ear.

Zhou Dongshuang's white eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he suddenly asked: "If San Lang can solve a problem, the old man can agree to accept you as an apprentice." ”

"Please also ask your seniors to teach you." Sun Tu's spirits suddenly lifted and he knew that he had an opportunity.

"People who practice martial arts in my generation always say that they want to be chivalrous and righteous, you may tell the old man what is chivalry? And as a person in the officialdom, do you deserve this chivalrous word? Zhou Tong Zhengse asked, this is the other party's temperament in the school, if he can answer satisfactorily, he will be admitted to the door, and then teach him martial arts.

Sun Tu's mind spun quickly, and he only pondered for a moment before saying, "Although the younger generation hasn't read a few books, he also knows some truths. The so-called chivalry seems to me to be big and small. The little one of chivalry is just holding on to injustice and saving people from danger, which is what ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can do as long as they have a chivalrous heart. Saying that, he was stunned, waiting for the other party to ask.

"What about the great man?" Sure enough, Zhou Tong followed his words and asked the key sentence.

"The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people!" Sun Tu immediately said with a serious expression, and secretly said in his heart, fortunately, he was familiar with Jin Lao, and he didn't expect it to come in handy here.

Hearing this answer, Zhou Tong was suddenly stunned, and repeated this sentence several times in his mouth, the more he said, the more solemn the look on his face became, and finally nodded and said: "You said this thoroughly, no matter how much your mind and vision are much higher than the old man." ”

"The seniors praised it falsely, and the juniors just said a little bit of their own superficial opinion." Sun Tu humbly arched his hand and said: "And in my opinion, you can only do small chivalry in the rivers and lakes, as little as one or two people, and as many as dozens, but if you are in the government, you can do more things if you have a chivalrous heart." Whether it is to save the people or the country, only when you are in the government and have power in your hands can you really do it! I wonder what my predecessors think? ”

"Hehe, San Lang is high-minded, but it seems that the old man's eyelids are too shallow, and he used to think that there were few people in the official mansion. It's been all these years for nothing......"

"The seniors don't have to be arrogant, and the younger generation's superficial views may not be really right......"

"You still call the old man a senior and call himself a junior?"

"Huh?" Sun Tu was slightly stunned, but it caused the girl on the side to let out a laugh: "Why are you staying at this time, Grandpa has agreed to accept you as an apprentice......"

Sun Tu was stunned when he heard this, and then he was happy, and immediately lifted his hem, then knelt down in front of Zhou Tong and kowtowed: "Disciple Sun Tu to meet Master!" ”

Zhou Tong really didn't stop him, just sat there and received three rings from him, and then raised his hand to help Sun Tu up: "Okay, good wow." I can't imagine that the old man can accept such an insightful and good disciple as you in such a twilight year. ”

"Did Master see that I had the talent to learn martial arts?" Sun Tu asked curiously after getting up.

Zhou Tong smiled and nodded: "Since you entered the door, the old man has seen that you are a good material for learning martial arts." Although he is older, his foundation is quite solid, as long as he hones more, his martial arts will not be below your senior brothers. The only person who is inferior may be the junior brother who started a few months before you, if he can have no distractions and concentrate on learning martial arts, he will surpass the old man regardless of guns, sticks, fists and feet. ”

Sun Tu couldn't help but be a little curious: "It turns out that the master has already accepted a disciple before?" ”

"Yes, this is also the reason why the old man plans to leave Tokyo as soon as possible, he is still young, and he is in Tangyin, Henan, I am always a little worried." Zhou Tong smiled and didn't introduce much, but said: "Now that you are under my door, Sun Tu, you can show your strengths first." Xiong'er, you have dealt with him to see how much he is capable of. ”

Zhou Xiong, who had been silently accompanying him, agreed when he heard the order, rolled up his sleeves, and politely hugged his fist at Sun Tu and said, "San Lang, you and I have a discussion!" ”

Sun Tu agreed, and stepped forward. At this time, he didn't know that he had changed Zhou Dong's life, and the old man would only carefully train the closed disciple who was far away in Tangyin, and he would no longer ask about the world, but now everything is different......
