Chapter 46 Zhou Dong's entrustment

Li Chun kept his promise and gave this horse to Yue Fei, and everyone was happy for him. Yue Fei's eyes looked at the horse covered in mud, and he didn't know what color it was. Yue Fei looked around and saw a small pool next to him.

Uncle Yue called the groom: "Take the brush and create it." ”

The groom agreed, took the brush, and stood far away, not daring to come near. Just because he had suffered the loss of this horse, it attacked it several times, leaving an indelible wound. He is a groom who ought to take good care of the horses, and if he did not do so, he would be derelict in his duty and punished.

Yue Fei saw that the groom didn't dare to step forward, so he twisted and pinched it unpleasantly, and said loudly: "It's okay, you just come up." I'll hold it here, it won't hurt you in the slightest, and I'll wash it clean. ”

The groom trembled and said, "Uncle needs to hold on tightly, wait for me to put the old halter on his place, and then brush it." ”

Yue Fei smiled: "It's okay, you just come up." ”

The groom immediately put the halter on, then led the horse to the edge of the pool and cleaned it. The sludge was all removed, revealing a snow-white mane without a single stray hair, Yue Fei was overjoyed: "It's really a good horse!" ”

Yue Fei got dressed, led the horse to the back hall steps, tied it, and went up to the hall to thank his father-in-law for giving him the grace of the horse.

Li Chun said: "A horse, why care. Then he ordered his family to take out a good pair of saddle bridles, and prepare them on the back of the horse.

Zhou Tong and others also watched from the sidelines, and felt that this horse was really good, with a snow-white mane all over his body, and he could hear the calm and heavy sound of horses' hooves every time he raised his foot. Zhao Gou has his own horse, and he also laughs at it, and has no other ideas; Wang Gui and the others were fascinated and couldn't help but want to buy the same good horse, and they were determined to let their father buy a good horse with them after they went back.

The seven of them re-seated and drank a few more glasses. Zhou Tong got up to say goodbye, but Li Chun couldn't keep it again and again, so he asked the groom to prepare a few more horses and send Zhou Tong back. However, Zhou Tong saw that he was in a group of six people and refused to accept it.

Li Chun had no choice but to give up, and sent them out of the Yimen again, watching the six of them leave. Zhou Tong and the other six people returned the same way, and only Yue Fei led the horses. Zhou Tong smiled: "This horse is quite majestic, why don't you ride it and take a look." ”

Yue Fei nodded yes, and he mounted his horse and galloped away. Zhou Tong and the others watched from behind, and they also felt good. Therefore, Yue Fei ran back and forth several times before stopping.

Zhou Tong continued: "This horse is very compatible with you, you quickly go back and explain the situation to Ling Zun, and come to my residence tomorrow." ”

Yue Fei nodded and left first. Then, Zhou Tong ordered Wang Gui and the others to leave as well, leaving Zhao Gou alone. Zhao Gou looked at Zhou Tong with some doubts, and thought: "The master will divide all the eldest brothers, there must be something to tell me, I don't know what it is?" ”

Zhou Tong turned around and looked, and when he saw Zhao Gou's stunned appearance, he smiled and said, "Come here, I have something to say to you for the teacher!" ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's the matter with the master?" Why can't you let all the brothers listen together? ”

"There are some things that they still don't know!" Zhou Tong smiled indifferently and said, "You are my young disciple and my closed disciple. Thou hast been very pleased with what thou hast accomplished, and thou hast learned that thou hast attained a noble status, but thou hast a determination to be different, and thy achievements in the future are immeasurable, and thou shalt attain great treasures. At that time, the world will be yours alone, in charge, the power of life and death is in your hands, don't forget the original intention, for the country and the people. ”

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat! Remember not to lose the hearts of the people, only the submission of all the people can truly dominate the world, and the country can be stable. Wen can be safe, military can determine the country, you can't rely on any party, you have to be impartial, so that you can have the most power in your hands, which is conducive to your control. ”

"If Pengju, Wang Gui and others enter the court as officials in the future, they are all people who are good friends with you, and they are also your generals and deputies in the court. Coupled with the rule of civil ministers, it can prosper. ”

The more Zhao Gou listened, the more confused he became, he felt that Zhou Dong was confessing his last words, and he couldn't help but be startled: "Master, you ......"

"As a teacher, I know that the day of my limit is not far away, and I also know why you worship the old man as a teacher." Zhou Tong faced life and death, as if he had seen through it, without any panic, and then said: "I know the body of the teacher, I have practiced martial arts for many years, and I am strong and strong, or I will not get up again if I am sick, and it is also when I pass away, I am afraid that I will not be able to tell you too much at that time, I can only explain in advance, you have to keep it in mind!" ”

Zhao Gou's face was a little sad, his eyes were slightly red, and he nodded heavily, engrossed, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Zhou Tong continued: "If I guessed correctly, all along, you have hidden your identity because you want to learn real skills, and you are afraid that the teacher will not accept you as an apprentice because of your identity?" Zhao Gou nodded, he followed Lin Chong's advice and kept concealing his identity as the current prince, even the ministers of the court didn't know that the Nine Emperors were studying abroad, and thought they were locked in the palace, "Actually, this matter is a long story, so I'll make a long story short." ”

Zhao Gou listened attentively, and Zhou Tong informed Yu Zhao Gou of the reason. In fact, when Zhou Tong served as the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, he was young and vigorous. It just so happened that there was a county king who behaved frivolously and openly flirted with women from good families on the street. Zhou Tong couldn't help but say that he stepped forward to save the woman, but offended the county king, and the woman later became his wife, the two lived together in Bianjing, and the two gave birth to a son.

At that time, Zhou Tong decided to teach his son martial arts. Since he was a child, he was carefully taught by Zhou Dong, and his martial arts were also good, and when he was eighteen years old, he also liked to act chivalrous. The king of the county had already become the prince, and Zhou Tong was deeply loved by the emperor at that time, and he was strong in martial arts, so he didn't dare to touch him.

The years are unforgiving, Zhou Tong is over sixty years old, and his skills are not as good as before. It just so happened that at that time, there was chaos in the court, and the prince had been angry about Zhou Tong not giving him face, and he didn't find any opportunity to start. He waited for eighteen years, and it wasn't until his son became an adult that he found an opportunity to start.

The man took advantage of Zhou Dong's only son, secretly dispatched a killer, and was outnumbered to kill him. When Zhou Dong returned home, his only son had died. After investigating everywhere, he knew who the murderer was, and it was not good to really go after him. After all, he was a martial artist, and that man was a high-ranking prince, and soon his wife Sizi was so anxious that she couldn't afford to fall ill.

In a fit of rage, Zhou Tong resigned from his official position in the court, no longer served as the head of the forbidden army, and recommended his disciple Lin Chong to take over. If it weren't for the tragic murder of his son by that man, his wife would not have been ill and left the capital in a rage. Therefore, the Great Song royal family was an enemy of Zhou Tong, and when he saw that the lord and faction of the court were in power, he was disheartened and left leisurely.

After Zhao Gou listened, he knew why Lin Chong asked him not to tell his identity. If this is really the case, then Zhou Dong's resentment towards the people of the Zhao family can be imagined. It's just that with the passage of time, Zhou Tong has already looked down on it, and accepted Yue Fei as his righteous son, which can be regarded as his own child.

"Master, who is that person?" Zhao Gou couldn't help but ask.

"Why mention the past!" Zhou Tong smiled and advised: "You have royal blood, you should be able to inherit the great unification, and see the dragon qi in your body as a teacher." It's not strong enough, but it's enough. If you become the lord of the world, as long as you promise to be a teacher, treat the people of the world well, and treat everything well, you will definitely restore the prestige of my Great Song Kingdom, can you listen well? ”

Zhao Gou saw that Zhou Tong didn't want to tell him the name of that person, so he decided in his heart to find out who did it, and when he heard Zhou Dong's question, he replied solemnly: "Disciple knows!" ”

"Although you and I are masters and apprentices, we don't teach you as many martial arts as Pengju, so I will guide you to some combat moves. That shortcoming has already been made up, and in the future, the sky will fly freely, and you can freely display any martial arts. Moreover, your internal strength is compatible with the strengths of the Buddha and the Tao, and you will inevitably surpass as a teacher, and you can rest assured that your wisdom and resourcefulness are also a teacher. If I really die, you have to shoulder a great responsibility, and you don't need to keep filial piety for three years, even if you die, you will be watching you from heaven, you brothers must work together, only by working together can you achieve great things. ”

"When I'm dead, remember. You can rush back to Bianjing, you can go back with Pengju, you can go back alone, you don't have to keep filial piety for me for three years, and you don't have to cry, as a disciple of my Zhou Dong, how can you say tears lightly, even if you shed tears, you have to do it for the country and the people, otherwise I won't be blind. ”

Zhao Gou was grief-stricken and choked up: "Master! ……”

"Don't cry!" Zhou Tong said sharply, then took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Gou, and said sharply: "This letter was written to me by your senior brother, Lu Junyi, and the content of the letter is about the decision to revolt. If my prediction is correct, it should be within three months of my death, there will be an uprising, and when the time comes, after my death, you will be able to return to Beijing, and you must stop Lu Junyi from revolting against the imperial court. ”

"This letter was invited by him to join me, as a teacher is already old, and he can't see the future of the Great Song Dynasty, the only thing that can be determined is that although Zhao Gou is a member of the Zhao family, he is different. In your hands, I believe you will have a different Da Song. If he really rebels, you have to try your best to save his life when the time comes, if you use it well, you must be a general, his marksmanship is only stronger than Lin Chong, and you will understand when you see him. ”

Zhao Gou read the letter carefully, the letter said that Lu Junyi was victimized by traitors and was ready to flee to Shuibo Liangshan, which roughly means that the people of the Great Song Dynasty were bored, and Cai Jing came to Gao Taiwei, who was even more powerful than Cai Jing, and Tong Guan and others were doing evil, and they felt helpless about the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

"In this way, Lu Junyi is going to Shuibo Liangshan to gather with everyone, which is very unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Gou frowned, bowed his head and pondered; "I didn't expect Gao Yu to become a lieutenant so soon, but I don't know if my senior brother listened to my family's advice and resigned and went into hiding!"
