On the hill behind the ancient village, a grass pavilion has recently been built, the wood is the thatch for the top, a stone table and a few stone benches are built, although it is simple but also a little elegant.

Zhou Tong and Wen Huanzhang often go up the mountain for a walk to watch the scenery, and Gu Haotian built a grass pavilion on the top of the mountain. These two people bask in the morning breeze, watch the sunset, drink tea and wine, talk about literature and martial arts, and use this place as a permanent leisure place. As a disciple, Gu Haotian naturally often served by the side, and after a long time, this place became a second classroom for teaching his studies.

In the early morning of this day, Zhou Dong and Wen Huanzhang climbed the mountain as usual, and Gu Haotian led the team for a morning run as usual. Zhou Yunqing has been fighting with Bian Xiang recently, and has joined the morning running team of the escort team. The neat footsteps and loud slogans rang in his ears every day, but Zhou Tong always had a question in his heart, he had discussed with Wen Huanzhang, although the two had effective and deep-seated speculations, but they felt a little outrageous.

"Haotian, this escort team seems to be different from others, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an army, you are training with such mortal strength, just to take care of the family and the nursing home?" Looking at Gu Haotian who walked up the mountain in front of him with a sweat, Zhou Tong couldn't help but ask.

Gu Haotian was surprised, he didn't expect the master to suddenly ask such a question, he was silent for a moment, he felt that the two masters were trustworthy people and people to rely on in the future, and he had to make them understand their intentions and accept their ideas.

"If the apprentice said that it was for his life, would the two masters believe it?"

Zhou and Wen were stunned, they couldn't imagine that this kid would say such a thing, although the Zhou Dynasty is currently suffering from external and internal troubles, the world is generally stable, and there are some bandits in the Jeju area, but it has not reached such a point.

"Why is that?"

"The emperor is mediocre, the traitorous ministers are in power, the people are not happy, bandits are everywhere, the Great Zhou seems to be strong, but in fact, the foundation of the country has rotted, just like a paper wall, just a gust of wind gently pushes." Gu Haotian made a push movement with his hand.

"Where's the wind?" Wen Huanzhang thought that although the court had a lot of malpractices, it was not yet too bad to fall at the sight of the wind.

"There's a strong wind coming from the north." Gu Haotian once again analyzed the situation of the Jurchen, Liao, and Zhou Kingdoms. Zhou and Wenerren are today's wise men, of course, much wiser than Gongsun Sheng, and they can be seen through with just one click. The two pondered for a long time and felt that the subsequent progress of the relations between the three countries was very likely to be such a situation.

"If there really is such a day, there are only dozens of guards, wouldn't it be a mantis arm blocking the car?" Zhou Tong asked again.

"Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take precautions, not to mention the spark of a spark, who knows that it cannot set the prairie on fire."

"Sparks in the Plains, Sparks in the Plains", the two read silently, and the mighty team in their field of vision seemed to have become a raging torch, and this torch was being held in the hands of the young man in front of him. Both of them felt for a moment that they should pave the way for their disciples as soon as possible and ascend to high positions as soon as possible.

"Duke Zhou, you are quite familiar with the forbidden army in the capital, can you find a position for Haotian."

"Mr. Wen, you also know that the Zhou Dynasty was noble and martial, and what a hero Di Xianggong was in the previous dynasty, but in the end he was depressed and died by a group of literati."

"Thank you for the love of the two gentlemen, it's not arrogant, the generals of this Zhou Dynasty are not what the kid thinks."

"But why?"

"Master Wen is only eight buckets high, famous as the Beijing master, but there is a foothold in the officialdom, Master Zhou is an old man in the forbidden army, may I ask the Great Zhou army, there can be a hot-blooded strong man to advance. Disciple, I am a nameless boy in Yuncheng Township, with no power and no power, and the two gentlemen think that when will they be able to get ahead in the inkpool-like court of the Great Zhou. ”

The two were silent after listening to this, Wen Huanzhang sighed and asked, "If this is the case, even if there is a spark in the prairie fire, how can the teacher be nameless." ”

"China has been inherited for thousands of years, and the dynasty has changed like a banner at the head of the city, and what has not changed is the continuous Yanhuang spirit and the essence of the Han family.

"Since it is the bloodline of the Han family, it matters." The two replied at the same time.

"If this is the case, one day, if the apprentice takes the continuation of the bloodline of the Han family as his responsibility, drives out the captives, and protects the territory and the people, he will be famous."

The morning breeze was silent, the words were like thunder, and the three of them stood quietly, like sculptures under the light of the early sun.

In the days since, Gu Haotian's curriculum has changed significantly. While teaching martial arts, Zhou Tong gradually increased the content of marching battle formations, and Wen Huanzhang took the teaching of military strategy as his main course.

Under the careful guidance of the two teachers, Gu Haotian compared, digested, and refined the knowledge mastered by later generations, and greatly improved his related knowledge, and at the same time had a more comprehensive understanding of the society, politics, economy and other aspects of this era. In many cases, it is difficult for the two teachers to answer the questions he raised, and often in the reciprocal discussion, they come up with mutually agreeable answers. After a period of time, in the hearts of Zhou and Wen, in fact, when discussing some economic and social issues, they had already put this eleven-year-old disciple on an equal footing.

Stressful days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is the end of October. During this period, Zhu Gui took his younger brother Zhu Fu to Zhuangzili, and it didn't take long for Yishui County to come here, because Zhu Fu opened a hotel in his hometown, and it took a lot of twists and turns to change hands and delayed some time. Zhu Fu looks relatively rich, has a round face and is more shrewd, and is a thoughtful, resourceful and kind person. Gu Haotian is more at ease to use, and besides, there is a shortage of this kind of talent, so he asked him to be responsible for brewing raw wine, and then use it according to the situation in the future.

It was a letter sent by Du Qian, which gave Gu Haotian a new idea. It turned out that Du Qian was in charge of Black Pine Ridge, cleaned up the original cottage, and found some letters in the room of the three leaders Sun Tong, Du Qian and Song Wan were almost illiterate, fortunately, the guard captain Gu Bo on duty had a good effect on literacy recently, and recognized the contact letter between the cottage and an official in Gong County, Du Qian asked a few prisoners, and confirmed that the cottage also recognized a few big characters in the three leaders, and he usually contacted the county officials. They didn't know if they were of any use, so they sent them together.

After Gu Haotian read it, he found that it was a list of bribes or spoils, and it was said that it was a record of property given by the cottage to a backer behind the scenes named Zheng Renshan County Lieutenant. It's funny to think about it, I don't want this bandit to have a careful person, and he actually retains the evidence of being an official and taking bribes. Gu Haotian wanted to laugh at it, but seeing that the list of assets accumulated over the years was a lot of money, he had some vague thoughts in his heart, but he felt that he should make a decision after looking at it on the spot, and he just hadn't been to Black Pine Ridge for a long time and wanted to go to see it, so Gu Haotian went with the Lei Heng team who just went to rotate, as well as Bian Xiang and Zhou Yunqing, who were going to live or die.

After several months of hard work by Du Qian and Song Wan, the team has expanded to more than 120 people, and the task of 100 people at the end of the year has been completed ahead of schedule.

When Zhou Yunqing first arrived, everything was fresh, and Bian Xiang accompanied him around. Gu Haotian recruited Du Qian and Song Wan to understand the situation of Zheng Renshan, according to the two reports, Zheng Renshan was a member of the Zheng family in this county, and he had worked for more than ten years in Gong County from the main Bo and the county lieutenant, and now he was over fifty years old and had no hope of promotion, so he did whatever it took to make money crazy.

"What is the current living situation of Zheng Renshan?"

"This Zheng Renshan mainly lives in the county seat, but he has a large manor in his hometown Zheng Jiaji, which is managed by his younger brother Zheng Renshui." Du Qian and Song Wan are worthy of the locals, and they have mastered a lot of information in the past few days.

Du and Song's information made the plan in Gu Haotian's mind gradually clear, but he had to consider two issues, one was that Zheng Jiaji was no better than Heisongling, and he must be fully prepared; the second is that Black Pine Ridge is within Zheng Renshan's sphere of influence and must be abandoned; For the latter point, he has already thought of a way out, Liangshan has already started to operate, and Heisongling is irrelevant, but the relevant facilities in Liangshan have not yet been perfected.

The next day, Gu Haotian inspected the team of Black Pine Ridge, these more than 120 people have been trained by the guards in turn, and the basic movements have been formed, and the original more than 30 captives and the first more than 20 people recruited are only close to actual combat. He told Du Qian and Song Wan in detail, and he was in a hurry to return.

A few days later, a wooden boat left the dock of Gujiazhuang again. This time there are not only Gu Haotian, Bian Xiang, Zhou Yunqing, but also Zhou Tong and Wen Huanzhang, although these two have heard of the name of Liangshanbo, but they have not been there in person, Gu Haotian mentioned going to Liangshan together, and the two readily agreed.

The vastness of the 800-mile water and the majesty of Liangshan brought Zhou and Wen no less shock than Gu Haotian felt at that time.

On the golden beach, the Ruan brothers and Ma Qiang took everyone ashore, the first base of Liangshan has taken on a little appearance, the slope of the mountain has been leveled, barracks and kitchens and other related facilities have been built on both sides, and a small wharf has also been built near the water, and 68 veteran team members and more than 40 newly recruited team members are training in their respective fields.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ma Qiang led everyone up the mountain and introduced the progress of the base in the past few months. Zhou Tong and Wen Huanzhang just listened silently all the way, but their hearts turned upside down. I thought that the Gujiazhuang Escort Team was out of line enough, but I didn't expect that I just heard that there was a team in Heisongling yesterday, and today I saw this naval army at the foot of Liangshan Mountain, and strong people like the Ruan family brothers are also obedient in front of their disciples, and at this time, the two seem to understand the meaning of "sparks burning the plains" better.

The road in the canyon in front of the mountain had been built a rough blank, and the ascent was much easier, and in less than an hour the open mountain flat land had appeared in front of everyone. A flat land at the intersection has been sorted out, based on the terrain around this mountain has come into view, along the way, do not feel that the main peak is in front of you, Zhou and Wen are obviously not willing to stop here, everyone climbs to the top with all their might.

The mountain breeze is howling and the coolness is pressing. The three of them were speechless at the top of the peak, but there was a powerful aura that threatened from the peak to the eight hundred miles of water and the long distance.
