A few days later, Cui Zheng's army was stationed in Antelope City, and the defenders of Antelope City were more than 80,000, and all of them were elite soldiers and strong generals of Zhao State, except for the eight hundred dragon guards guarding the palace, the most elite troops were guarding the northern frontier, that is, they were afraid that the barbarians would go south to invade the territory of Zhao State, Meng Liu heard the news and went to the town to borrow a few taels of silver from Song Fu for travel expenses, and marched to Antelope City.

After Meng Liu entered Antelope City, he was just about to ask for directions and ask about the location of the military camp, but he was almost hit by a carriage, and a person got down from the carriage, it was Lu Ji, Lu Ji squinted and stared at Meng Liu in front of him, giving people a very familiar feeling, Meng Liu lowered his head in fear and walked to the side of the road to get out of the way. Lu Ji slowly stepped forward and dusted Meng Liu off his body, and said, "What's your name?" ”

"If you go back to the adult, the little one's name is Meng Liu." Meng Liu replied.

"Didn't scare you just now, were you? Where to? Lu Ji was still thinking about where this familiarity came from.

"I came here to enlist in the army, the village was ransacked by the Beiban, and I want to fight the Beiban." Meng Liu's eyes were resolute.

"Do you know martial arts?" Lu Ji was surprised, Meng Liu looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old at most, except that his body looked stronger than the others, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Meng Liu's expression was gloomy, he was silent for a moment, and said softly: "No, but I can learn, I have been much stronger than my peers since I was a child, and I used to follow the adults in the village to hunt in the mountains." ”

"Tang Xian, come and try this kid." Lu Ji turned around and summoned Tang Xian, and then said to Meng Liu, "Use your greatest strength to beat him." ”

Meng Liu looked at Tang Xian, there was no movement, Tang Xian didn't care when he saw this, how much strength can a child have, took a step forward and held Meng Liu's hand and punched him twice in the chest, and said casually: "Hard, don't worry, I'm in good health." ”

Meng Liu clenched his fists and slammed a big circle, the circle shook the air and buzzed, Tang Xian secretly said that it was not good, it was too big, this punch almost knocked Tang Xian back three or four meters, and it was hard for Tang Xian to have Lu Bo by his side stretch out his hand to block Tang Xian's back.

Lu Ji had already made up his mind in his heart, and said, "Do you know who I am?" ”

"I don't know."

"My name is Lu Ji, and Zhao Guozheng is a third-grade feudal official." Lu Ji is dressed properly.

"My lord, I want to enlist in the army, and I want my lord to be fulfilled!" Meng Liu hurriedly knelt down and begged Lu Ji to let him enlist in the army.

"How old are you?" Lu Ji grabbed Meng Liu and asked.

"Sixteen."

"It's too young, now is not the time for war, Zhao Guomen need to be crowned when they enlist in the army."

"However, I really want to enlist in the army, if I fight the Northern Barbarians in the future, I will be the first!" Meng Liu is all kinds of feelings are coming to his heart at this moment, and he only recognizes one, that is, the person in front of him can let him enlist in the army.

"In this way, you help me do one thing, after the thing is done, I will go and say to Cui Zheng, let him teach you martial arts, you have very good qualifications, a brute force, if you use it a little, you may not be able to be a pioneer general!" How is it? Lu Ji said after a moment of thought.

"As long as the adults tell me, I am willing to do whatever the problem is!" Meng Liu said.

Lu Ji looked at the south, "It's not a difficult thing, it's not a hundred miles to the south, there is a mountain, towering into the clouds, people nearby call it the fairy mountain, it is said that there is an old fairy living on the mountain, called the Taiping Taoist, I went up the mountain a few years ago, there is indeed an old man living on the mountain, whether it is a fairy I don't know, I haven't seen it, the old man has an apprentice, you just need to find the old man's apprentice, if you can let him go down the mountain, I will guarantee you to be the captain of the Liupin Zhichong, and you will follow me from now on, how?" Even if that person is unwilling to go down the mountain, you still let you join the army, and you will not lose money on this transaction. ”

"The adult commands, and the villain will do it now." Meng Liu shook his hands, which he learned from Li Jiusi.

"Go, this is a coil on the road, you also hold this token, if someone blocks the road, you can show this, in the territory of Zhao Kingdom, there is this thing unimpeded." Lu Ji handed Meng Liu a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and a token engraved with the word Lu.

After Meng Liu took it, he set off immediately.

After Meng Liu left, Tang Xian, who had not made a sound, walked to Lu Ji's side and said: "If the adult is looking for someone, let the villain invite him, why let the stunned boy go, if he does something wrong and offends the master, then he will not regret dying." ”

"If I can be invited, I will go myself, three years ago I heard about the Immortal Mountain, the old immortal who lives on the mountain is said to have lived for more than five hundred years, that is the era of the Ming Dynasty, and this old immortal will have a disciple every fifty years or so to go down the mountain, fifty years ago, the name of Jiuzhou, the whole world was turned upside down, and the fall of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, fifty years later, it is the boy I saw who looked only in his early twenties."

Lu Ji talked about this past, and his heart was excited, "I went there once three years ago, and the young man said that I had the breath of a true dragon, but the time was not in me, let me find someone again, only when the time and place were favorable, he was willing to go down the mountain to help me, and in the past three years, I have successively sent some people to look for him, but he refused, and Meng Liu is already the sixth." ”

Tang Xian asked again, "Why don't you let me try?" ”

"Let you go? Before I finished two sentences, it is estimated that people will be tied up by you, if I have this person's help and advice for me, I will be able to achieve a great cause in the future! Lu Ji replied.

"Your Excellency believes that Meng Liu can let that person go down the mountain?" Tang Xian obviously didn't believe that Meng Liu could lead Mr. down the mountain.

"Let's try, whether it can succeed or not depends on the will of God, if God really can't let me get this person, then let him stay on the mountain forever." Lu Ji said and returned to the frame.

After Meng Liu went out of the city, he went straight to the south, and as long as the pass along the way showed the Lu family's token, the generals guarding the pass everywhere were respectful to him, which made Meng Liu feel a little uncomfortable.

At noon the next day, Meng Liu came to the foot of the Immortal Mountain, which was extremely shocking, high, towering into the clouds, unimaginable. Meng Liu thought in his heart that those who could live on this mountain must be some hermits, maybe they could really see the immortals, Meng Liu took a deep breath, and prepared to go up the mountain along a path, but he was stopped by someone after just a few steps.

"Young man, but you want to go up the mountain?" A middle-aged man on the side of the road stopped Meng Liu.

"Yes, someone asked me to go up the mountain to find an apprentice of an old immortal, dare to ask this eldest brother, are you?" Meng Liu said respectfully, in Meng Liu's opinion, as long as the people in the mountains are not simple people, there is nothing bad in speaking respectfully.

"Brother Lu asked you to come, right? My surname is Zhuang, just call me Brother Zhuang. The man asked, apparently aware of this.

"Brother Zhuang knows?" Meng Liu was overjoyed, originally thinking that if such a high mountain peak got lost, it would be troublesome, but now it's okay, the guide has fallen.

"Of course I know, that kid came here once in three years, and every once in a while after that, he would find someone to go up the mountain, and he was always looking for me to lead the way, and you are already the sixth." The man scratched his head and recalled.

"Then I wonder if Brother Zhuang can lead the way up the mountain now?" Meng Liu asked.

"Just follow me, don't get too far away, there are a lot of flying insects, birds and beasts on the mountain, if something happens, don't come to me, there was a little doll who didn't listen to me before, and was eaten by the tiger in the mountain." Brother Zhuang reminded him, and led the way in front, regardless of whether Meng Liu in the back could keep up with his footsteps, and it was also a shame that Meng Liu often followed the young people in the village to hunt and chop firewood, so that he could follow the man in his footsteps.
