Lying on his bed, Gao Huaiyuan has been thinking about this strange old man, judging from the skills of the strange old man today, this person must be a master, but it is not clear, why this old man chose him as an apprentice, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't figure it out a little.

But for the future of how to go, Gao Huaiyuan has been thinking about it these days, business, reading, martial arts these aspects he has thought about, the first to be eliminated is the matter of reading, once the war begins in the future, useless is a scholar, and now he is twelve or thirteen years old, even if you want to achieve something in reading, I am afraid it is difficult, this is more like ten thousand people fighting for a single-plank bridge than the university entrance examination in later generations, and it is probably a rare thing to be an official among many scholars.

Gao Huaiyuan is not arrogant enough to feel that he has talent in this area, as long as he reads, he will definitely be able to be named on the gold list, not to mention the deception of the officialdom, Gao Huaiyuan is really not interested.

Business? Although the Southern Song Dynasty is very lenient about business, but the status of businessmen is not high, not to mention that he is penniless now, even if he has this idea, it is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, not to mention that in the environment of the Gao family, even if he has this ability, he has no chance.

After thinking about it, Gao Huaiyuan felt that it seemed to be a good thing to be able to practice martial arts at the moment, at least to practice martial arts, and in the future, when the world was in turmoil, he could also have some self-preservation power, at the moment he didn't think that he had the ability to rely on his own strength to block the pace of historical progress, the Mongolian army swept across the Eurasian continent, unless he became the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, he wanted to change this historical process, I am afraid it was a fool's dream.

Gao Huaiyuan was in such a mood, slowly entered the dreamland, the sky was not yet bright, he woke up, cleaned up briefly, put on a more fitting clothes, did not alarm Liu Er, who was still sleeping next door, slipped to the back door, woke up the house slave who was sleeping like a pig, and went out of Gaofu towards the south gate.

When the old man said that, he asked him to go out of the city to look for him in the woods five miles outside the city, but he also wanted to know what the old man was from.

When he arrived at the south gate, the sky was not yet bright, the city gate had just opened, and the dung vehicles began to enter the city to collect the buckets of each family, which was the best material for farmers in this era, and the doorman guarding the door yawned and looked at Gao Huaiyuan strangely, not knowing what this young man was doing out of the city so early, but they were not interested in caring about this, so Gao Huaiyuan shook out.

According to what the old man said, Gao Huaiyuan walked all the way to the south of the city five miles away, and saw a big forest in the distance, so he walked over, but he wandered around outside the woods until dawn, and did not find the old man.

"Damn! Actually released pigeons! If I had known, I wouldn't have fallen for this old man! Gao Huaiyuan muttered angrily and turned around to go back to the city.

At this time, a voice came out of the woods: "You lazy worm, I let you come here at the right time, and you want to blame me when you are late, how unreasonable!" As he spoke, the old man from yesterday floated out of the woods and stood in front of Gao Huaiyuan.

"Nonsense, I came here a long time ago, but I couldn't find you, how can you blame me?" Gao Huaiyuan said very unhappily.

The old man shot like electricity, and knocked his fingers on the door of his head, Gao Huaiyuan had obviously seen him move, and quickly dodged, but he still took a solid beat, and his heart sank, and secretly said that this old man was really powerful, and he couldn't see how he hit himself, so he rubbed his painful head and didn't dare to refute it anymore.

"I said that you are late, it is late, and you dare to talk back! Looking for a fight, isn't it? But on the first day of today, I won't bother with you, if you want to learn kung fu, you can run in the future, and if it's later, I'll beat you up! Now tell me why you want to learn martial arts! The old man looked unreasonable, taught Gao Huaiyuan a lesson, and then asked him to arrive.

Gao Huaiyuan thought for a while, and then replied: "It's not that I want to practice martial arts, it's you who want to forcibly accept me as an apprentice, I see that you are old, in line with the noble character of respecting the old and loving the young, I will satisfy you, and save you disappointment!" ”

"Oops!" As soon as the words fell, Gao Huaiyuan covered his head and screamed again, it turned out that he was hit hard by the old man again, and his head hurt to death.

"I thought you were a good guy, but I didn't expect you to be flamboyant, disrespectful, just look for you and tell me, I will satisfy you!" The old man didn't seem to move, his hands still behind his back.

Gao Huaiyuan rubbed his head and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you say that you will fight?" It's not easy for me to recover, you beat me stupid again, be careful that you will be responsible for me for the rest of my life! You ask me why I want to learn martial arts, well, I'll tell you! The reason is very simple, I just want to have some self-preservation power in case of chaos in the future! ”

The old man stared at Gao Huaiyuan's eyes and asked, "Could it be that you practice martial arts, and you only think about protecting yourself?" Haven't you ever thought about learning martial arts and serving the country? ”

Gao Huaiyuan scoffed at the old man's question, and for some reason, after getting to know this old man, he had an indescribable sense of intimacy and trust, so he didn't hide it from him, and said: "Serve the country? Why? The Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over military force, and military generals can only be bullied by civilian officials, and how many famous generals in the Great Song Dynasty have a good end? Don't talk about it from afar, let's just talk about Marshal Yue, he is dedicated to the country, what will happen in the end? It's not high yet...... I don't say you know, but he died at whose hands! And now? How many people in the Great Song Dynasty still wanted to make great efforts to restore the territory of the Han people? It's just a couple, just stealing a living! If anyone is arguing about the restoration of the Central Plains in the north, it will definitely not be good! I just want to be able to learn a skill, in the future in the troubled times, a little self-protection is enough, I never thought about who to be a gunman! If you're not satisfied, I'll go back and pull it down now!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan unceremoniously said what was in his heart to the old man, even he wondered, how could he say such a thing to the old man, if it was someone else's words, his words could be regarded as a big rebellion.

After the old man heard Gao Huaiyuan's words, he was obviously surprised, and looked at Gao Huaiyuan for a long time, as if he had seen a monster, and then said, "Are you really the stupid boy from the Gao family before?" ”

As soon as Gao Huaiyuan heard it, he knew that the old man had already inquired about his identity, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's like a fake!" ”

The old man shook his head and smiled: "I can't see it!" I can't see it! I didn't expect you to have this insight at such a young age! It's really rare! You're such a little monster, I like it! Huh"

Gao Huaiyuan looked at the old man, and said with a smile: "If I were a little monster, you would be an old monster, otherwise you wouldn't have found me!" Hey! Talking to this old man, Gao Huaiyuan felt very relaxed, this old man was not as pedantic as ordinary people in this era, and he looked very different.

"Oops! And what are you striking me? Gao Huaiyuan hit his head again, but he didn't have a chance to hide at all, so he could only shout dissatisfied.

"Presumptuous! One day as a teacher and a lifelong father, you can't help but be big or small! Here's a little lesson for you! I don't care why you want to practice martial arts, I accepted your apprentice, why don't you hurry up and salute? The old man taught him a lesson.

Gao Huaiyuan is really not used to kneeling and saluting, but after thinking about it, following the customs of the country, this is the rule in ancient times, not to mention that this old man seems to be good, and it doesn't hurt to kneel him, so he didn't dare to talk back again, and the province was beaten again, knelt down honestly, kowtowed to the old man a few times, the old man was satisfied, and Gao Huaiyuan stood up.

"Now that I've apprenticed, Master can tell me your identity now!" Gao Huaiyuan was a little confused about his apprenticeship, and he still hadn't figured out what his master was doing and what it was called.

"Don't ask about this, I will naturally tell you when the time comes, you come and tell me, how do you know that the world will be in chaos in the future?" The old man turned around and found a place to sit down, and asked Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan also found a clean place, sat in front of the old man, and replied disapprerovitically: "This matter is all obvious, these days I have heard a lot of people talk about things in the north, the rise of the Mongols has become an irreversible thing, and that Genghis Khan will never be satisfied with just unifying the steppe and pulling down, now it can be seen that his ambitions, they first attacked the Western Xia, and then attacked the Jin State, once one day, the Western Xia and the Jin State are destroyed, then waiting for the Great Song Dynasty is the iron hooves of the Mongolian army, Now no one in the three countries of the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom and the Western Xia Dynasty sees this clearly, and they are still fighting hotly, I am afraid that if it goes on like this, it will not be long before the Western Xia and the Jin Kingdom will be over! The good days of the Great Song Dynasty can be regarded as over! That's why I want to learn some skills quickly, and then I can have some self-preservation power! ”

The old man looked at Gao Huaiyuan, and it was a bit like looking at a monster, and he asked with a serious face after a long while: "Tell me honestly, did your father tell you these words?" Or did someone else say it to you? ”

Gao Huaiyuan rolled his eyes and replied dissatisfiedly: "Do you think my father is that kind of person?" Can he see the situation? Do you need someone else to tell me about this? Fools can see it! ”

The old man was really a little speechless, and after looking down and thinking about it, he sighed deeply and said: "I didn't expect that I have lived for so long, and my vision is not as good as that of a stupid boy like you. But you can only say it to me, and if others listen to it, they may think you're crazy again! The Mongols are indeed powerful, and they are extremely vicious, and according to you, anything is possible! After listening to your words today, it really feels like waking up a dreamer with a word! The Great Song Dynasty is in danger! ”
