Section 18: Apprenticeship and martial arts

No matter who becomes the emperor, as long as the people can have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, he is the holy monarch of our auxiliary protection!

- Ren Gui

"Does Lord Ren want to see me?" Ren Liang stopped what he was doing and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Yes."

"Hmph, you stinky girl, why didn't you say it earlier and pay me back." Lao Zhang said angrily.

"You didn't even give me a chance to say, who made you beg for mercy."

"What?"

"Thank you for your big money, for its sake, I won't mention you in front of the master when I look back. Let's go, Young Master Liu. ”

Watching the two walk away, Jiang Aniu exclaimed: "Wow, the girl of the old man's family in the military department is not simple, she just cheated money from Zhang Laoqian, the world's biggest liar." ”

"Shut up."

In He Fuzhong, Ren Gui handed a copy of the teaching book for the martial arts exam to Ren Rail: "You read it." ”

Ren Rail quickly read it word for word.

"The Great Sui Dynasty is full of smoke, all walks of life against the king rose up, there are those who sincerely save the people from the fire and water, there are those who fish in troubled waters, the whole country has fallen into chaos, bringing heavy disasters to the innocent people, the Great Sui Emperor has issued a holy edict, requiring people to make good use of it, regardless of the family, regardless of the previous mistakes, as long as there is talent, you can serve the court."

"My lord, is the Great Sui Dynasty still worth protecting?"

"Regularly, participating in martial arts is just a way, a channel to gain fame and lead soldiers, the stronger the strength, the better to serve the country, of course, the emperor has no way, there is no need to be loyal to a corrupt dynasty, no matter who is the emperor, as long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, he is the holy monarch of our auxiliary!"

The old man's words are very benevolent.

In the middle of the night, Ren Liang couldn't sleep, so he ran outside the house to look at the stars, and Ah Niu also ran out and said, "It's so late, aren't you still sleeping?" ”

"Ah Niu, do you think I should go to participate in the martial arts?"

"Wuju? What did you say? Don't take part in the imperial examinations. ”

"This time is different, the emperor Lao'er does not care about the criminal records of past offenders, and is allowed to participate in the imperial examination. There is no bias, everything is judged by ability. ”

"So good? Doesn't that mean you can be an official? ”

"Then it depends on the results of the exam."

"No, if you make up your mind, you can. I'm sure you can, I know you better than anyone else. ”

"Ah Niu."

"Great, that's great."

Finally, Ren Liang decided to worship He Zhouzi as his teacher.

"Everyone, stop for a moment and get to know your new junior brother." He Zhouzi introduced to the apprentices who were training with Ren Rail.

"I'm Liu Renliang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Is it true? Did he worship Uncle He as his teacher? Ren Jiaoxu asked.

"Of course it's true, I've seen it with my own eyes." The girl replied.

"It's really good, it's great."

"Miss's reaction is so strange."

"Me?"

"Yes, Master He has so many apprentices, what's so special about another one."

"That, that person saved me, and, hum, Satsuki!"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha." Satsuki looked at the young lady's delicate appearance with great pride.

Under the scorching sun, Ren Liang began to practice archery seriously, and even when he was soaked, he did not relax at all.

Lao Ren brought his daughter to visit Lao He, and Miss Ren and the maid secretly watched Renliang on the side.

Jing Han happened to come over and met two beauties.

"Ha, what an unexpected surprise, what kind of wind blew the young lady here?"

The two beauties became a little embarrassed.

"Li Gongzi, if there is nothing to do, let's leave first." After saying that, the two ran away with a smoke.

Jing Han also admired Ren Liang's focus: If I could have such perseverance, my martial arts would be even more powerful.

"It's dirty, it's dirty." Ah Niu spat on the bow of the Ren Rail, rubbing it, and said.

Zhang Zhengbin saw it and said, "Are you wiping the bow or spitting?" ”

"Don't you see how bright this is? Rubbing the bow should do just that. ”

"Ah Niu is okay, you are also tired, rest." Ren orbit.

"Let me finish it, I'm enjoying it. You have to take this bow to participate in the martial arts exam, how can you do it if you are not bright, I hope it can help you win the lift and become a great official. Soon you'll have money and power, ha. ”

"You don't understand anything, he's going to get out of here. If he becomes an official, he will be higher in rank than us. I'm really worried about you, after all, you got this job because of the regularity, and if he leaves, you'll be left alone. Lao Zhang said.

"What did you say?" Ah Niu Qidao.

"Stop talking, how can you say that, this kind of thing can't happen." Ren Rail said.

"Look, and you'll know if I'm right." Lao Zhang said.

"Worry about yourself, Zhengzheng Zhongju has become an official, and I will make a lot of money here, you see." Ah Niu said.

"I hope you're right." Lao Zhang said.

Ah Niu still began to feel uneasy, really afraid of being said by Lao Zhang.

When Lao He Jiaoren shot an arrow in the air, he pulled the bowstring and imagined that there was an arrow in his hand and shot out.

With a "poof", the opened bowstring returned to its original state.

"Did you hit the bull's-eye?" Lao He asked.

"Probably not."

"Why?"

"I put it too early."

"The arrow is virtual, how can you be so sure?"

"Because of the speed of the wind, and the direction of the wind. At first, I didn't notice any of this. It was only after the arrow was released that I realized that the wind was blowing from my right rear. ”

"Yes, it's the same as the feeling of being a teacher, if you notice it and adjust it accordingly, and put the direction of the arrow to the left, you will hit the bull's-eye."

"I'm sorry, master."

"No, it's not the end that matters to you now, it's what you just learned that matters, remember."

Jing Han also arrived at the shooting range, and said to Ren: "You came so early." ”

"I still have a job at the Chamber of Commerce in the afternoon."

"You should have a hard time doing it so tightly."

"Brother Han, I'm fine."

"Seeing you like this, I understand why the master wants to accept you as an apprentice."

"What you just learned is very important, but it's not so easy to understand. It took me and the rest of my brothers and sisters a long time to realize this. But with determination and willpower, I believe there will be good results. ”

"What do you mean? Can't we train at the shooting range with Liu Renliang? A junior brother asked Wu Yapeng.

"Yes, it's bad enough for Liu Renliang to become our junior without going through any assessment, and he has also rejected the master's invitation more than once." Wu Yapeng said.

"That was all in the past, and now he's our fellow disciple." Li Jinghan said.

"We hope there is another reason for him to leave, that he is a sinner who has been punished by His Majesty the Emperor."

"Why do you have to mention this?" Jing Han asked.

"We can't accept a sinner to become our junior disciple, and if we accept his words, our entire martial arts hall's political stance will be questioned."

"What did you say?"

"We can't accept him as one of us, don't waste your energy."

"It's the master who let Zhengzheng enter the martial arts hall to study, do you want to disobey the master's orders?"

"The master is our teacher, but he also has to take care of the reputation of the martial arts hall, please remember that you can't act according to your own ideas regardless of everyone's wishes."

The next day, when Liu Renliang still wanted to enter the shooting range. All the men stood in his way.

"Senior brothers, is there anything wrong?"

"I'm sorry, but that's all you have to do here. We can't accept you as a fellow disciple. ”

"Why?"

"How can you block him in the doorway?" Jing Han hurried over.

"You know why, we can't accept a sinner in our midst."

"That's enough, get out of the way, quick!" Respectfully.

"What happened? What are you doing here during training time? He Zhouzi came out and said.
