Chapter 2 The library building is full of birds and weak chickens, and cold-faced men are high-ranking disciples

The Bengbu Marquis Mansion seems to be more spectacular than imagined, which shows Zhao Tuo's status in the mind of the King of Chu. Just the artificially built garden at the back is something that ordinary magnates can't get, let alone the library full of martial arts cheats.

Almost every few days, people who practice martial arts infiltrate the Bengbu Hou Mansion through different means, the purpose is just to be able to observe the martial arts classics in this library pavilion. However, few people make it out alive. It's not that there are many masters hidden in the Zhao Mansion, it's just that there are often small miscellaneous fish.

Although the specifications of the library building in Zhao Mansion are not small, there are very few high-quality exercises and cheats in it, and generally some masters of some skills are not looked down upon. In fact, there are not a few masters in a place like the border that has been in war all year round, and even if there are really a few hidden masters, they will not rush to the Zhao Mansion to find bad luck.

There are not a few masters in Bengbu's Hou Mansion, Hou Ye Zhao Tuo is a first-class master, and this is not the most powerful, it is said that there is a super first-class master hidden in the mansion, but he has not made a move so far, and others can only guess.

Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg for the behemoth of the Zhao family, and the most incomprehensible thing is that the little marquis of the Bengbu Hou family, who is obviously a gentleman who does not do his job, but his ability is notoriously powerful, and he has already entered the ranks of masters at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which is difficult for even other peasant children to match.

Don't say that it is the five veins of the farmer, that is, looking at the world, there are very few young people with such outstanding talents.

Of course, it is not for nothing that he is more outstanding than him, the white-haired boy who openly shot at the little marquis in Bengbu City today cut off the four legs of the horse under the crotch of the little marquis, just this time, it is not difficult to see that this son has entered the category of second-rate masters, even if he does not, it is not much worse.

Speaking of the little marquis, he was really depressed to death at this time.

Who would have thought that the old man who had difficulty walking with his waist bent was actually the old antique of the vertical and horizontal faction, needless to say, these old monsters were either first-class or super-first-class masters, and even Zhao Tuo had to respect each other. Zhao Qi was secretly frightened, fortunately he kept an eye on it today, otherwise the conflict would come together, and I am afraid that the entire Zhao family would have to play it over.

Although the Zhao family is the head of the five veins of the farmer, the status should be the same as that of the Zongheng faction, but the Zongheng faction is the most mysterious one, no one knows how many masters are hidden, it is said that the Zongheng faction only accepts two disciples in each generation, and after being born, it is not a martial arts master who is famous, or a strategist who can change the pattern of the world.

It is said that there is a super-first-class master in Zhao Mansion, but no one has seen it, even Zhao Qi doesn't know who this super-first-class master is, and when he asks his father, who is the marquis, he just laughs and doesn't say anything, and when he asks impatiently, he will say: You'll know when you grow up.

Zhao Qi knew that he couldn't ask a reason in the mouth of this father, who was a son who was a son since he was a child, so he didn't ask, but his desire to see the demeanor of a super-first-class master was indeed getting stronger and stronger.

However, after learning that the old man who kept saying that he came for him turned out to be the ancestor of the Zongheng faction, he didn't have any longing for the so-called master hermit.

Needless to say, everyone knows that the old man who has landed in the mansion is at least a first-class master, but this sloppy dress is a big disappointment to the little marquis, and he can't raise any interest in the worldly master who once imagined it.

At this time, the old ancestor of the Zongheng faction who was sitting next to the case in the lobby of Zhao Mansion was at ease, the white-haired young man stood meticulously beside him, Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Bengbu, sat in the most inconspicuous position, and Zhao Qi, the cynical little marquis, sat down, which shows the status of this boy in the heart of the Marquis of Bengbu.

"The old-timers came to the cold house, Zhao missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive me." Zhao Tuo didn't care about the old man's dress, and respectfully performed the junior salute, without holding the shelf of the marquis of the Great Chu State at all. His identity as the Marquis of Bengbu may still have a bit of deterrent power in the court, if it is placed on the rivers and lakes where there are many masters, he can be regarded as a first-class master, and it is still appropriate to do his duty in front of this master who can't guess what kind of strength he has. For the behemoth of the Zongheng faction, only be a friend, not an enemy.

The old man stroked his beard and looked inscrutable, smiling, thinking that he was out of the dust, but in fact in the eyes of outsiders he looked like an old beggar with Alzheimer's, just grinning and smirking. Regarding Zhao Tuo's apology, he politely replied, waved his hand and said: "Master Hou doesn't need to be polite, this visit to the Hou Mansion was not notified in advance, it is old and abrupt." ”

Zhao Tuo is a straight man, he has never been able to play with rhetoric like literati, and he was very puzzled by the sudden visit of the old man, so he asked the ancestor of the vertical and horizontal sect straight to the point: "I don't know what happened to my predecessors who came to my Bengbu Marquis Mansion thousands of miles away?" ”

It is not true to say that Zhao Tuo is not good at words, to say that the old lair of the Zongheng faction is in the current Qi Dynasty Song, which happens to be on the border of Qi State. Not far away said a little too much, I think it is also Zhao Tuo, the reckless man who learned from the pretense of the sons, so that Zhao Qi, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't help laughing, but the old man of the vertical and horizontal faction didn't care, took a sip of the tea on the table and said: "The old man's surname is Wang Mingchan, there are two things to come to the Hou Ye's mansion this time, the first thing is to borrow the library from the Hou Ye to have a look." ”

Zhao Tuo frowned slightly, although the scale of the library building of the Zhao Mansion is not small, there are few exercises and cheats in it that can be used, he can't understand why a master like Wang Chan would take a fancy to his own small library, could it be that the secret hidden in this library is known to the old man? Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo's expression became solemn, and he secretly wondered in his heart, who leaked the news?

Seeing that Zhao Tuo was silent, the old man Wang Chan probably guessed his thoughts, put his hand on his beard and smiled: "Hou Ye doesn't need to be suspicious, the classics in the library on Hou Ye's mansion are of no value to the old man, but there are a few of them that are beneficial to my little apprentice, but Hou Ye can rest assured that the old man needs not to be a high-quality sword book, but only Hou Ye's library has a complete book." ”

Seeing through his thoughts, Zhao Tuo's face was slightly embarrassed, but he was secretly relieved in his heart, to say the secret of this library, only he, the master and the super-first-class master in the house, knew it, and even his favorite sister-in-law didn't know, if this old man came here today for the secrets in the library, then even if he lost both, he would invite the master in the house and the ancestor of the Zongheng faction to live two tricks.

Looking at the old man's demeanor, it was obvious that Zhao Tuo was too worried, he touched the tip of his nose to hide his embarrassment, waved his hand and said: "Since it is beneficial to the love of the old-timers, Zhao will not be stingy." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the white-haired young man beside the old man who had never said a word, and asked, "Presumably this is the beloved disciple of the old man, right?" ”

The old man stroked his beard, smiled brighter, and said calmly: "Exactly." ”

It is not difficult to see from the old man's demeanor that he is very fond of his apprentice.

"It is worthy of being a vertical and horizontal heir, and it is really extraordinary."

This compliment is not that Zhao Tuo looks at the old man's face, but appreciates it from the bottom of his heart.

This white-haired young man looks no more than fifteen or sixteen, but his strength should not be underestimated.

From the moment he stepped into the palace, someone secretly spied on the breath of the two and informed Zhao Tuo as soon as possible.

The old man's internal strength is strong, but it is very well hidden, even the super-first-class master in the house can't guess the depth, but this young white-haired man is surprising, the seemingly ordinary young man is actually a second-rate master, although the internal force is not stable, it looks like he has just joined the ranks of second-rate masters, but this age is enough to shock the world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo sighed, and looked at the little marquis who was sitting on the soft couch and half-lying on himself entertaining himself, full of hatred for iron and steel, this kid has wonderful roots, even the master in the house said that he was a martial arts wizard, but this son who is not angry is a lazy man, and he can't endure hardship, if he practices martial arts well, coupled with the careful teaching of many masters in the house, and now his attainments in martial arts are not much worse than the apprentice of the ancestor of the Zongheng faction, and he is not as good as the master now.

Seeing Hou Ye's expression, and then looking at the little Hou Ye of the Zhao family, who had already run away from the clouds, how shrewd the old man who had lived for almost a hundred years was, he saw through Zhao Tuo's mind at once, stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "The old man saw that the Hou Ye was preoccupied, so he said bluntly, the old man came this time, one is to seek blessing for my little apprentice, and the other is to relieve the melancholy in the heart of the Hou Ye." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up, all he was worried about was that there was no successor to the Zhao family, if the Zhao family's big family business was destroyed in the hands of his son, then he would be the father to blame. Listening to the meaning of this old man's words, could it be that he has a way to deal with this unlucky son who has always turned a deaf ear to his words?

Although he was suspicious in his heart, his face remained silent, he leaned forward slightly, obviously aroused by the old man's interest, he asked, "I don't know what the old man has to say?" ”

The old man saw that Zhao Tuo was suspicious, so he didn't hide it: "Presumably Hou Yegui is the head of the farmer's family, and he has also heard of my vertical and horizontal secrets, the world knows that I have a rule, but all the children who are born from the vertical and horizontal can only accept one vertical and one horizontal two protΓ©gΓ©s, Wei Yan entered the old man when he was five years old, and the old man taught him is that he is weak and strong, and it is for the longitudinal, as for the position of this other disciple has been empty, the old man has been looking at himself with water a few days ago, and he is already dying, if he does not accept this second disciple, I am afraid that this vertical and horizontal will enter the loess with the decay. ”

Zhao Tuo seems to be a reckless man, he is a little sluggish on weekdays, but he is very shrewd on key issues, and he immediately heard the meaning of the old man's words, and said in surprise: "Didn't the old man take a fancy to me, a naughty child?" ”
