Chu Tianya lowered his brows and whispered, "Uncle He, the apprentice you talked about...... It can't be Tong Guan, right? ”

"That's right, it's him." To Chu Tianya's surprise, He Bo admitted it in one mouthful. He nodded and said, "In this life, the old man has officially accepted a total of three apprentices. Tong Guan was the first to worship me as a teacher and the one with the most outstanding qualifications. In addition, there are Lord Xiao and the young master, and the old man also taught some kung fu, but they are not my apprentices. ”

"The other two apprentices of the old-timers ......" Bai Xu said halfway, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Say it!" He Bo smiled.

"It's Jiao Wentong, the second master of my Seven Star Mountain, and Xue Yu, the third master of the third village!" Bai Xu said very strictly, "Is that so, old-timer?" ”

He Bo tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and nodded and smiled, "It seems to be these two little rabbit cubs, that's right!" ”

Chu Tianya and Bai Xu's faces changed-Uncle He finally admitted it!

"Why are you making such an expression?" He Bo still smiled and said, "What happened in the past has little to do with the present. The old man is already a man who has died a few times, and those things seem to be the things of his previous life, and he has forgotten everything he should have forgotten. Those old people don't mean much to the old man. ”

"The sage said, the king of heaven and earth is a teacher, a teacher for one day and a father for life, is it meaningless?" Bai Xu said, "For a long time, Second Brother Jiao and Third Brother Xue have been searching for the whereabouts of the old-timers. After learning that the old-timers were hiding in Taiyuan, they wanted to pick up the old-timers and go to the cottage to enjoy some blessings. But it's also a hindrance to ......"

"Hey, hey!" He Bo smiled, nodded and said, "Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu, compared to Tong Guan, that is the difference between Yunyang. These two little rabbit cubs, kind-hearted, filial piety, love and righteousness, are still quite good. They knew that they were already in the grass, and they were afraid that they would affect me, so they did not dare to come and meet me. But they have this heart, and that's enough. The old man has lived in the Chu family for so many years, and he is also used to it. If you really want me to enjoy some blessings, I really don't want to. ”

"It's a pity that I just asked Third Brother Xue to go back to the cottage to report the news to the eldest brother, otherwise he would be very happy if he saw the old-timer...... Bai Xu sighed.

Chu Tianya also sighed with emotion, and said, "Uncle He, since Tong Guan has such a great hatred with you, with your skills, it is easy to kill him. Why haven't you been doing it all the time? ”

"That's right, he killed my whole family of thirty-seven and cut me off my children and grandchildren. If I don't break such a good apprentice into pieces, then I really don't deserve to be a human being. He Bo was still very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, he said, "But Tong Guan is not only my enemy, but also the marshal of the town of my Great Song Dynasty, and he is also responsible for state affairs. Although the old man is a shallow and ignorant man, how can he abolish national affairs for his own selfishness at this critical time? …… In fact, I have been looking for a good way to get revenge, but I can't. It wasn't until the young master used a trick to let Tong Guan die at the hands of the Jurchens that I decided to take revenge myself! ”

"Then when Tong Guan was not at the edge of Taiyuan Town before, why didn't Uncle He think about revenge in person?" Chu Tianya and Bai Xu both asked.

"That's a long story." He Bo said, "Five years ago, when I failed to follow Fang La, my family was killed by Tong Guan, and the government also pursued me everywhere. I made a fake corpse to get through, and then fled to Taiyuan, preparing to take refuge in Jiao Wentong in Qixing Mountain, or flee to Liao for temporary refuge. But at that time, I was seriously injured on the battlefield, one leg was also crippled, and I fled here for thousands of miles, and I was not far from death when I was exhausted in blood, and I was in a coma in the snow outside Taiyuan City in the winter. ”

"It just so happened that Master Chu, that is, the young master's father, was returning from visiting friends in Yuci County, and he rescued me and brought me home on the way. He asked a doctor to treat my wounds and revive me. Then he didn't inquire about anything about me, only took me in to live in his house, and asked a friend from the government to find a box army household registration for me, so that I had the imperial court and military food to eat, and it could be regarded as an old man. ”

"The old man has lived for most of his life, and he has never met such a friendly person as Master Chu. It was during that time that I felt the warmth and care that I had never felt before, and even the hatred in my heart was eliminated a lot. In addition, Tong Guan is leading troops to fight thousands of miles away, and Jiao Wentong has given up the position of the owner of Qixingzhai to others, if I go up the mountain, I am afraid of causing trouble to him. So I temporarily dispelled the idea of revenge and going up the mountain, and from then on I lived in the Chu family with peace of mind. ”

"So there are so many things in the past!" Chu Tianya and Bai Xu were both stunned.

"It's a pity that the days are not off, the good people have short lives, and Master Chu passed away not long after. Leaving the young master, the lone seedling, unattended. He Bo said calmly, "Master Chu didn't tell me until he was dying, it turned out that he had already guessed that I was a rebel against the Fang Layu party who was captured by the imperial court, but he never asked me, let alone betrayed me. Instead, he treated me like a family member and left me to live in his house with peace of mind. Although Master Chu is a Confucian student, this kind of righteousness is better than that of a martial artist! When he first found out that thirty-seven members of his family had been killed, the old man had only boundless hatred in his heart, and he never shed a single tear; But on the day Master Chu passed away, the old man cried very sadly. From then on, I swore that I must take good care of the young master and not let the young master be harmed in any way......"

"No wonder Uncle He became like ......that when I was injured in Qingyun Castle that day," Chu Tianya smiled movingly, "Uncle He, I don't have any relatives in this world anymore. From then on, I will serve you as a father and provide for you in your old age. ”

"No way!" Uncle He's face was straight, and he said categorically, "From the day I lived in the Chu family, the young master is the master, and I am the servant, so it is already doomed." Never change! ”

"But you are the master of the master of Jiaozhai and Xue Zhai, I ......"

"Young master, you don't need to say it." He Bo interrupted Chu Tianya's words with a wave of his hand, and said, "All the previous things, until the moment Tong Guan died in front of my eyes, it was all written off. From now on, I am just a bad old man, a servant of the Chu family, and I have no other identity. ”

"No wonder the old-timers have always refused to recognize Second Brother Jiao and Third Brother Xue, it turns out that so many things have happened in it......" Bai Xu was full of emotion, and bowed his hands to Uncle He, "The old-timers really have the style of a countryman, no wonder they can teach good apprentices like Second Brother Jiao and Third Brother Xue!" The three of you masters and apprentices are all real heroes of righteousness, and Xiaosheng admires them very much! ”

"It's a pity that I also taught a bad apprentice like Tong Guan who brought disaster to the country and the people." He Bo shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said, "But then again, although Tong Guan is not right, he is still good compared to Cai Jing's traitors." Anyway, he also led troops to guard the frontier to resist Western Xia for so many years, and he did make some contributions to protecting the country. But the most wrong thing he did was that out of his personal anger against Liao, he teamed up with Cai Jing to lead the alliance with Jin to destroy Liao, and in the process of attacking Liao, he did many wrong things that humiliated the country and infringed on the people. But if you really want to investigate to the end, Tong Guan is a eunuch and is ordered by the official family to go on an expedition. All the big and small policies and strategies have been planned by the officials and the ruling government a long time ago, and Tong Guan can only implement them. Therefore, if the Great Song Dynasty really suffered a Jurchen invasion and was wiped out, the real culprit would not be Tong Guan, but those faint kings and mediocre ministers in the court who treated state affairs as child's play and did not care about the lives of the people! ”

"Uncle He has unique insights and hits the nail on the head." Chu Tianya frowned, and Zhengse said, "Everyone in the world only hates traitors, and few people dare to hate the faint king." Traitors are hateful, but it is often the faint king who is the root of the real bad things! Tong Guan died, and he deserved it; But he hasn't suffered it on behalf of the faint king! ”

This is a very high argument...... Xiao Sheng, I never thought about this. Bai Xu wrinkled his brows and pondered, and said, "How many people in the world can have such foresight as the old-timers and Brother Chu?" seems to be a junior generation, from the day he was born, he only knows to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic. No matter what this king is, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to him. If the world is broken, it is the fault of the traitors...... Such a concept is deeply rooted in the minds of Xiaosheng and the vast majority of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

He Bo also said: "The white boy is right. At that time, because of the disaster of Huashigang, hundreds of people in Jiangnan were displaced and miserable. Only then did Fang La's wave of his arm gather, shaking half of the south of the Yangtze River. But Fang La soon failed, and the reasons were naturally many. But afterwards, I pondered and realized that Fang La had made the most fatal mistake at the beginning, that is: he did not kill the traitorous minister and did not clear the king's side, but he became the king! - He broke the oath he had made when he got into trouble, and in order to seek wealth and wealth, he became king prematurely when he was not strong, but since then he has fought against orthodoxy and stood on the opposite side of the people of the world, and has become a real thief! ”

"That's right, the world is orthodox, and the people want it. This power is immeasurable and cannot be ignored! Bai Xu said.

Chu Tianya listened to the words of the two of them and nodded silently. This short conversation made him suddenly think of something very deep. At present, the positions and opinions of these three people are also different.

Chu Tianya is a person from the 21st century, and he has a good understanding of the history of the current era, and his way of thinking and the ideas in his heart will not be the same as anyone in this era; He Bo once followed Fang La to lead the peasant uprising and created a rebellion in the Great Song Dynasty, so it is not surprising that he has such an opinion. Although Bai Xu is a fallen grass, he is a typical Song Dynasty people who grew up under the education of poetry and books, and his opinions and ideas are very representative.

But the three of them all thought of the same problem: in the minds of the vast majority of ordinary people, unless there is a formal change of dynasty, the orthodoxy of the king's court cannot be desecrated. No matter how mediocre this king is and how corrupt the court is, orthodoxy is orthodoxy! -- It's like the Three Kingdoms era, when the Han Dynasty was obviously finished, but the Han Emperor was still orthodox in the eyes of the people of the world. Therefore, Cao Cao was able to coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, so as to occupy an absolute advantage in politics and people's hearts!

The word "orthodoxy" was deeply imprinted in Chu Tianya's heart from this moment on.
