Zhao Gou has been practicing martial arts by Lin Chong's side for more than three years, nearly four years. During this period, Lin Chong taught him all his family heirloom Lin family marksmanship, and also taught him how to use other weapons such as long fists, knife techniques, and stick techniques.

Although Lin Chong is best at marksmanship, the most competent weapon is not a spear, but a spear. However, with the use of other weapons, Lin Chong can still give Zhao Gou some inspiration. After all, as a military general, it is not uncommon for him to dabble in other weapons.

For more than three years, Lin Chong taught him everything, and Zhao Gou was engrossed in learning, so that his martial arts have grown greatly, and he has knives, guns, sticks, etc. at his fingertips. As Zhao Yi commented, the moves are more proficient, but he still lacks fire, and he has no real experience in facing the enemy, so he is just a fledgling boy, and he still can't take charge on his own.

Lin Chong, as Zhao Gou's mentor, is deeply aware of Zhao Gou's shortcomings. At the beginning, Lin Chong thought that Zhao Gou's foundation was enough, so he taught him the method of using weapons, ignoring the basic skills of martial arts, and it was not until this time that he really discovered the key to the problem, or the fatal key, in order to understand what his master had said.

Zhao Gou's experience of facing the enemy, Lin Chong often practiced with him, and it could be regarded as a little change, but the foundation of martial arts could not keep up, and he didn't know what method to use to change this situation. At the same time, Zhao Gou was immersed in his own martial arts world. Now, his strength is much stronger than before, and no one of his peers can be better than him.

Lin Chong looked at Zhao Gou with a somewhat excited expression, and said in a deep voice: "Gou'er, your martial arts are also outstanding among your peers, but you still lack the heat. If you encounter someone who is stronger than you, you will not be able to win at all, or adults with a little martial arts background can defeat you. ”

Zhao Gou heard Lin Chong's scolding, and only then did he understand that he was a little smug before, and hurriedly lowered his head, as if he had turned into a child who thought he had done something wrong, and did not say a word. Lin Chong continued: "The master has already taught you all the martial arts, and the next thing is to depend on your own persistence." Martial arts are not like literature, if you want martial arts to reach the state of great success, you must practice diligently, no matter when you need to persist in order to make progress a little bit, everything needs to be steady and steady. ”

"At the beginning, I thought that you were so eager to learn how to use weapons that you neglected to exercise your martial arts skills. In retrospect, I was still wrong. Your body bones are already relatively poor, even if you are a little better after exercising, there is still a big gap. If the enemy fights in the future, he will definitely suffer a big loss, and he must be tempered again. ”

"Now, I don't have any more martial arts to teach you. Although I was ordered by the emperor's decree to teach you martial arts, in the final analysis, your perseverance touched me, and I will teach them all. As for the Lin family's marksmanship, it was originally a secret that was not passed on, but meeting you is also a proud thing in my life, so I will teach it to you, I just hope you don't bury this set of marksmanship, he uses it to kill the enemy in battle, and promote my great Song Guowei. ”

"I have reported everything here to the Imperial Court, and in a while someone will come to pick you up, and then I will return to the Forbidden Army and become the head of the sect. Since then, we have no mentorship or apprenticeship. You are still the king of the county, and I am still a micro-minister. No matter in front of anyone, there is no need to be a teacher. ”

When Zhao Gou heard Lin Chong say this, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Master, why is this?" A teacher for one day and a father for life! The disciple learned martial arts from the master, and if there was no master, there would be no me now. Heaven and earth are the masters, and the master's grace is unforgettable in this life, and how can it be forgotten. ”

Lin Chong saw Zhao Gou's eagerness, tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little moved, and continued: "Don't worry, I still have two things to explain to you, and when I finish talking about things, you will know why I said this." ”

Zhao Gou looked at Lin Chong in surprise and thought secretly, "Could it be that the thing you said has something to do with severing the master-apprentice relationship?" ”

"I have never doubted that your martial arts have been trained by me, and in time, you can become a martial arts expert." Lin Chong said eloquently: "As a master, I will guide you to two paths, and it will be up to you how to go when the time comes." And, your decision has a lot to do with what I said earlier. ”

"Sure enough!" Zhao Gou looked at Lin Chong intently and thought to himself.

"The first way is for you to return to the palace from here, be your county king with peace of mind, and be crowned the prince on the day of the crown. As for whether you can fight on the battlefield, everything is difficult to know, feel at ease to be your county king, with your current martial arts, coupled with hard practice, ordinary people are not your opponents, enough to protect yourself. ”

Lin Chong said solemnly: "The second road is Jianghu Road!" ”

Zhao Gou was puzzled: "Jianghu Road? What is that? ”

"Jianghu Road is to let you give up your current identity and become a person who travels all over the world to find famous teachers to guide martial arts, and find people who learn martial arts to learn martial arts, only in this way can you really experience the feeling of fighting. In addition, on the road to the rivers and lakes, you still need to do one thing, that is, to go to Xiangzhou and find the master who instructed me in marksmanship - Shaanxi Daxia Iron Arm Zhou Dong. ”

Zhao Gou lowered his head and said silently, thinking to himself, "Isn't Zhou Tong Yue Fei's master?" Could it be that Lin Chong and Yue Fei are really brothers? ”

Lin Chong didn't see Zhao Gou bowing his head in contemplation, his little face frowning, and continued: "He is really a martial arts master, and he used to be the head of the forbidden army, and later served as a teacher in the Jingshi Imperial Boxing Gym, and he is also the highest-level 'Tian' character teacher, and even I am ashamed of my martial arts." ”

"Since my marksmanship is from my family, it was my father who really taught me martial arts. If it weren't for his death, I might have asked my father to point you out. At the beginning, I met the master, and I was not convinced and fought with him, and finally lost miserably, worshiped him as a teacher, became a disciple, and there was a senior brother at that time. ”

"The master is very strict in accepting disciples, talent, diligence, etc., and the master has a strange personality, only two of us have been accepted in his life, and the senior brother has already returned to his hometown and learned a martial arts. As for my best marksmanship, my master taught me marksmanship, which made my marksmanship improve a lot. ”

"Your foundation is unstable, and you can only solve it by seeking advice from your master. However, you must remember that when you find the master, you must not reveal your true identity, the most hated thing in his life is the royal children, and I can't say much about this. As long as you go to Xiangzhou, you can find the address of the master, who is quite famous in the local area, and also has a disciple in Xiangzhou. ”

"The master wrote to me that the little junior brother is talented and handsome, so he will accept apprentices again, and he is also the last disciple to close the door, saying that he will no longer accept disciples. If you want to impress your master, you have to rely on your own sincerity. In addition, I will personally repair a book, let you bring it over, and ask the master to guide you in martial arts when the time comes. ”

"As long as you get the guidance of your master, your martial arts will definitely be greatly improved at that time, and the unstable foundation will be perfectly solved at that time. The master's martial arts are many, learn from others' strengths, create their own martial arts, and find another way, even riding and archery are famous, as long as the master teaches you, it will be of infinite use at that time. ”

Lin Chong talked eloquently and said with a smile: "If you are accepted into the door by the master, then you will be my junior disciple in the future, not a master and apprentice." Therefore, it is up to you to choose two paths. If you have a day to think about it, this is also a big deal, and you must carefully consider it, and you can't jump to conclusions. ”

Zhao Gou said categorically: "Don't think about it, I choose the second way!" ”

"Really?" Lin Chong asked again.

Zhao Gou looked at Lin Chong unswervingly and said, "It's decided, I decided to take the road of rivers and lakes!" ”

"I wrote this letter a few days ago, and when you see the master, say hello to him on my behalf!" Lin Chong took out the sealed letter from his bosom and said, "Since you have decided, then I will start writing a letter of recommendation, and then you will personally hand it over to the teacher, and it is up to you whether you can become his disciple at that time." ”

Zhao Gou took the letter handed over by Lin Chong with both hands, solemnly put it in his arms, and said, "I will complete the task!" ”

So, after Lin Chong explained everything, he left, leaving Zhao Gou alone. At the third watch, the man in black three years ago appeared in front of Zhao Gou again, Zhao Gou stared at him stunned without squinting, and said in a low voice: "Three years ago, you brought me here; After three years, I want to fight you and try my skills to see how good I can be, I wonder if you will agree? ”

The person who came was the dead Cai Wang Zhao Ru, Zhao Gou's words made him slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "You want to learn from me?" ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean!" Three years ago, I knew that your martial arts were unfathomable; Now, I've learned a lot of skills, and I want to find someone to try my skills, I wonder if you agree? ”

"Since you have such Yaxing, then I'll see how your martial arts are going!" Zhao seemed to see Zhao Gou's fanatical eyes, and he felt very curious in his heart, so he agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gou and Zhao Qi began their first discussion, and the final result was that Zhao Gou was defeated miserably, and was pressed and beaten by Zhao Ru, and had no power to fight back. Zhao Gou got up from the ground with a disgraced face, and looked at Zhao Qi angrily, he didn't understand why he was defeated so quickly, that person defeated him in three strokes and five divided by two, and there was no power to fight back.

"Master! The man in black in front of him is definitely a master! The master once said that when I encountered a real master, I had no power to fight back at all. If this is the case, it seems that it still needs to be promoted again, otherwise it will be impossible to change the fate of the country by force if it continues like this, lead the army to fight, and expel the Jin State. ”

Zhao seemed to be a little surprised, he didn't expect that Zhao Gou, who was only six years old, would have such a great strength, if he hadn't been through a hundred battles, he might have suffered a big loss in Zhao Go's hands, and said with a smile: "Today, it's not just me who came here, there is another person who wants to see you." ”

Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Yi suspiciously, and muttered, "Who else sees me?" ”

When he was confused, a man dressed in the same black walked in from outside the house, and he removed the black scarf to reveal his true face. With the help of the dim candle flame, Zhao Gou looked fixedly, and the person who came was his father, that is, the current emperor, and hurriedly shouted: "Father, son-in-law give ......"

Song Huizong helped Zhao Gou up, looked at him with a tough body, and looked at the dust on his face, smiled at him, and said: "Gou'er, you have completed your studies, and it is inconvenient for me to stay longer, or to make a long story short, did you really decide to take the road of rivers and lakes?" You must know that the Jianghu Road is a very dangerous thing, so it is better to let me send the guards to go with you. ”

Zhao Gou stared at Song Huizong with wide eyes in disbelief, what he said during the day was known by Song Huizong tonight, he knew that everything he was here was strictly guarded by his father, that is, he knew all his movements, in order to protect himself, which made him a little puzzled, and heard what Song Huizong said, and said categorically: "Return to my father, this is the path decided by his son, take the road of rivers and lakes, and want to improve his martial arts." Even if the rivers and lakes are difficult to walk, Erchen has to walk alone in the world, and he is bound to let his martial arts be able to take charge of himself. ”
