Chapter 12: A Visit from the Deceased

"Grandfather?" Liu Qi flashed a trace of doubt, Mrs. Chen treated Liu Qi like a son, I don't know what kind of surprise Mrs. Chen would give him this time.

The first surprise was to obtain all the wealth of Chen Zhi and the Chen family, as well as the 3,000 people recruited; The second time was that Mrs. Chen was kind and benevolent, and his reputation spread far and wide, and he was served by Xu Chu and hundreds of villagers; I wonder what it was this time? Thinking like this, Liu Qi couldn't help but look forward to it, and ordered: "Please!" ”

The doorman took the order and left, but Liu Qi went out to greet him.

Liu Qi looked from afar, outside the Chen family's manor, two of the four were old men; The two old men were sturdy and energetic, and they couldn't tell that they were old men. One of the old men carried a spear on his back, dressed in gray-white clothes, with gray hair and sideburns, and was followed by a tall and sturdy young man who also carried a spear.

Another old man had a sword tied to his waist, and he was also wearing plain white clothes, and his expression was a little depressed; The young man next to him was a little slender and stared at Liu Qi with a blank look, but Liu Qi sensed his tenacity in these eyes.

Liu Qi vaguely heard the two talking, "An Rui, long time no see" "Yes, Brother Xiongfu." I haven't seen you for years."

Eversheds? Xiongfu? Who the hell are these two people, so familiar. While thinking about it, Liu Qi greeted him and said, "The younger generation has missed the distance, and I hope the second elder will forgive me." ”

The two old men glanced at each other, and their impression of Liu Qi when they met for the first time was greatly improved. The two teenagers behind them kept looking at Liu Qi, Liu Qi bowed to the second elder, and was also looking at the two teenagers carefully.

The old man with the gun on his back said: "You are the grandson of your friend Zizan (Chen Taigong), right?" It doesn't have to be so polite. Taking a step forward and gently helping him, Liu Qi felt a strong force supporting him. Liu Qi was shocked, and said secretly: "I didn't expect this person's kung fu to be so high!" ”

"You and I have never met, and the old man has not explained to you the existence of the old man." The old man with the gun on his back slowly introduced: "The old man has a little prestige in the green forest, and others gave him the nickname of 'Gun God'."

"Could it be that Master Tong, who is known as Penglai Spear God Sanren?" Liu Qi preemptively said a sentence, but he was surprised in his heart: I didn't expect my grandfather to make friends with such a prestigious green forest hero! Seeing Tong Yuan's introduction, it seems that they have a good relationship.

"Oh? I can't imagine that anyone still remembers the name of many years ago, haha. Tong Yuan laughed and said, "That was all one or two decades ago. The old decay is Tong Yuan (the word Xiongfu). ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhi, Chen Bao, Liu Hu, and Liu Pan suddenly changed their expressions, and their eyes looking at Tong Yuan became respectful and admiring.

"The kid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he hopes that Master Tong will forgive him." Liu Qi said.

"It doesn't matter. Let me introduce it to you, this is the famous swordsmanship master General Wang, who is much louder than the old man's name. Tong Yuan pointed to the old man with a sword at his waist and said, "I think I am also the teacher of the children of the Han family, hahaha." ”

Xun Yu was also surprised when he heard about the name "Wang Yue". After all, Wang Yue was famous and powerful in Beijing at the beginning, and he didn't expect to fall here, noticing that Wang Yue's face was lost, and after thinking about it slightly, Xun Yu knew why.

The old man with the sword said helplessly: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, Brother Xiongfu is still so hearty." As for the title of general, it is long gone. At this, his expression darkened.

"Could it be that he is the swordsmanship teacher of the Son of Heaven, and he is the old general Wang Yue when he is the general of the Chaohu Ben Zhonglang?" Liu Qi asked.

"It's old age. As for the title of general, it is gone. Wang Yue suddenly said with some indignation. Tong Yuan explained: "Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the dynasty, and An Rui had been removed from his position as a lieutenant general a few days ago. Coincidentally, when the old man heard that Zizanxian had passed away, he invited him to come to mourn. ”

"I see." Liu Qi suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The wind and snow are rolling outside, and the two gentlemen are invited to come into the house to rest." Then lead the way and lead them into the house.

As soon as he sat down, a servant brought hot tea.

"I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't give my friend a ride." Tong Yuan sighed and said, "Ten years of farewell, goodbye is the separation of yin and yang." Wang Yue nodded on the side and said, "Yes." ”

The atmosphere was in sadness, Liu Qi felt a pain in his heart, and comforted: "The second elder doesn't have to be like this, my grandfather is going to be happy, and the deceased is gone." ”

Tong Yuan Wang Yue was immersed in grief for a while, and then Tong Yuan said: "In addition to condolences to Zizan this time, there is one more thing to complete for Zizan. ”

Grandfather's last wish? Liu Qi's thought flashed, but he asked, "Dare to ask my grandfather what do you want the two old gentlemen to do?" If you can use a brat, you don't need to be polite. ”

"This can't be done without you." Wang Yue took over the conversation and said, "It should be said that this matter is completely the last thing Zizan did for you." ”

"Well, that's true." Tong Yuan nodded, but his eyes were looking at Liu Qi seriously, and he said after a while: "But your kid's bones have been finalized, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

The two have been playing dumb riddles, and Liu Qi hurriedly said: "Please also ask the two old gentlemen to speak clearly." ”

Tong Yuan Wang Yue laughed at the same time, and Tong Yuan said: "According to Brother Zizan's instructions before his death, I want our two old men to accept you as an apprentice." Isn't that relevant to you? ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he almost raised his arms and shouted, thanking Mrs. Chen for arranging these for him! The only ones who can make Tong Yuan an apprentice are Zhang Xiu, the gun king of Beidi, Zhang Ren, a famous general in Xichuan, and Changshan Zhao Zilong, who will be powerful in the future in the future. Hey? Could it be that the handsome young man behind Mr. Tong Yuan is him?

Wang Yue, as the great master of Kyoto swordsmanship, handed over the disciples who were also not bad, but Shi A, the attendant of the Son of Heaven in the later period. Could it be that the silent young man behind Wang Yue was Shi A? Thinking of this, Liu Qi's gaze at the two of them suddenly became hot. After a while, he said, "How can the kid be so good?" ”

Wang Yue said: "The old man looks at your bones as a good material, but after all, it is already difficult for you to start learning now." Wang Yue directly skipped Liu Qi's words and said, "Brother Xiongfu, what do you think?" ”

"Hmm. That's true......" Tong Yuan muttered, but Liu Qi was nervous to death, for fear that they would think that their bones were shaped and ignored Chen Taigong's request before his death. No, I have to think of a way, even if I can't become their disciples, I have to keep Zhao Yun and Shi A firmly.

"The kid is self-aware, and the bone formation is what the old man has learned, and the rare inch of progress will definitely damage the prestige of the two old men." Liu Qi took retreat as advance, gave up the opportunity to become their disciple, and said: "If you live up to the prestige of the second elder, but the kid has no face to see his grandfather, it is better to ......"

Tong Yuan shouted categorically: "What nonsense are you talking about!" It's just a false name, and the loss is the loss. Liu Qi instantly felt a strong pressure rushing to the top, and he was helpless. Wang Yue frowned and said, "Virtuous nephew, I don't know what kind of weapon you specialize in?" "Mrs. Chen treats Liu Qi like his own son, and Wang Yue is not allowed to call him so.

When Liu Qi heard this, he secretly said that there was a play, and said respectfully: "Knife." "The sword is the king of the soldiers, domineering and steady, in his previous life, Liu Qi was the king of the sword in the army, and he is extremely familiar with everything about the knife.

"This ......" Wang Yue and Tong Yuan glanced at each other, and Wang Yue said: "Although the old man is familiar with knives, he is not proficient. Brother Xiongfu is a spear god, and this is also the case, but the virtuous nephew's cultivation of sword skills has stumped the old man. Everyone knew that what Wang Yue said was true, and Liu Qi's expression suddenly darkened.

Then, Liu Qi had a flash of inspiration and said: "The two old gentlemen don't have to be like this, wouldn't the kid learn the sword and gun bury the old gentleman's life's hard work." I think the old gentleman already has a disciple......"

Tong Yuan interrupted Liu Qi and said, "It's all because of the old age, and I haven't introduced it to my nephew yet." Pointing to the heroic young man with the gun on his back, he said: "This son is an old disciple, Changshan Zhao Yun." He pointed to the young man next to Wang Yue and said, "He is An Rui's personal disciple, Shi A." The two of them are about the same age as your nephew, nephew, how old are you this year? ”

Sure enough, it was the two of them! Liu Qi was overjoyed and replied, "The kid is nearly sixteen years old this year. ”

"Then you are a year and a half older than the two of them, Xiao Yun and Xiao Ah have come to see your eldest brother. The three of you are so close and close. Tong Yuan said.

Zhao Yunshi bowed down and said, "I've seen Brother Qi." Liu Qi returned the salute and said, "You don't have to be like this, you and I are close in age, so it's better to be commensurate with brothers." The three of them exchanged their names in a low voice, and whispered about the heroes and princes of the late Han Dynasty.

Tong Yuan Wang Yue thought about it for a while, and said in his heart: Since you can't teach much to the virtuous nephew, and the virtuous nephew is the grandson of the Zizan brother, it is better to let the three of them become righteous brothers, and it will not be in vain for the three of us to have a relationship. The two tacitly agreed, Wang Yue said: "Shi A is the only disciple of the old man, and he is the son of the old man, and Zhao Yunnai is the disciple of Brother Xiongfu who is like a child, and you are the beloved grandson of Brother Zizan, so it's better to be like this." The three of you are righteous brothers today, I don't know what the virtuous nephew wants? ”

Liu Qi was about to pretend to postpone it, Tong Yuan said: "The ambition of the virtuous nephew, the old man and An Rui are not blind people, how can they not know?" Today, when the heroes are rising together and the people are in dire straits, Xiaoyun and Shi A are also talents, so let them help you. ”

"Big brother! Let the little brothers help you level the world! Never give up! Zhao Yun pulled Shi A and bowed to Liu Qi and said.

"Xiaoyun, what are you doing...... Mr. is kind, and the kid doesn't dare to push back. Liu Qi hurriedly helped the two of them up and said happily: "I have two brothers to help me, like a fish in water." Good! Let the world's heroes see our power! With that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled!

Tong Yuan and Wang Yue's suggestions hit Liu Qi's thoughts, and at this moment, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and yell, venting the joy in his heart.

The wind and snow outside the house are more intense, the cold pines are standing, and the sky is not late. Liu Qi instructed his subordinates to slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare incense and other things needed for the ceremony, and several people went out to the courtyard together.
