Chapter 85: Xia Houlan
Xia Houlan practiced marksmanship by himself, which was secretly taught to him by Zhao Yun, but the real core Zhao Yun did not dare to teach it, so Xia Houlan is still a third-rate general.
"Hey, I've been practicing hard for many years, but I haven't seen any growth, so I'm helpless!"
Xia Houlan was not in a good mood, his friend Zhao Yun's martial arts had already surpassed him a lot, if he continued like this, he would be embarrassed to associate with Zhao Yun.
Thinking of playing when she was a child, Xia Houlan smiled knowingly.
"Brother Lan, why are you so happy, let's hear it."
As soon as Xia Houlan heard the voice, he knew that it was Zhao Yun, the two of them were too familiar, he remembered that Zhao Yun had not gone down the mountain for a long time, since Tong Yuan left, his senior brother was very strict, let alone going down the mountain, sometimes Zhao Yun couldn't even eat.
"Zilong, did your senior brother allow you to go down the mountain? Hmm, who are these two? ”
Xia Houlan was a little surprised when she saw Ye Bin and Zhou Cang behind Zhao Yun, you must know that Zhao Yun only has one friend except for his senior brothers on weekdays, and now he actually brought two people to see him, can he not be surprised.
"Haha, let me introduce you, this is Ye Bin, the general of the town army."
Ye Bin was a little embarrassed, this general of the town army was actually the miscellaneous general that Zhao Yun had served as in history, and now Zhao Yun introduced himself in front of others, which made him embarrassed.
"What kind of general is not a general, just call me Ye Bin."
Xia Houlan didn't think so, you must know that Ye Bin still looks very young, and he can have such a big official position at such a young age, which really surprised him, and said with an unchanged face:
"So Lan is disrespectful, I don't know why the general is here?"
Zhao Yun punched Xiahou Lan and said with a smile: "Don't be so cautious, General Ye doesn't have a fight, don't always remember the past, the past will be over." ”
A trace of gloom flashed on Xia Houlan's face, and she immediately smiled and said, "Yes, it's Lan Duo who is worried." ”
Ye Bin didn't know what had happened to Xiahoulan, the two were not familiar with each other, and it was not good to ask each other casually, so he just smiled.
Zhao Yun patted Xiahou Lan on the shoulder, and said with a mysterious expression: "Brother Lan, there is a big thing I don't know if I should say or not." ”
When Xia Houlan heard this, she immediately became stern, and said seriously: "You and my brother, what can't you say, if there is something wrong, just take care of it together." ”
Zhao Yun laughed and said: "Don't tease you, boring, it's a good thing, a great thing, the master agrees that you will go up the mountain to learn art from him, and we will be able to practice martial arts together in the future." ”
Xiahou was taken aback, looked at Zhao Yun carefully, shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me, the master will never change his words lightly." ”
Ye Bin smiled on the side and said, "I can prove this, but Tong Lao promised you that you can go up the mountain at any time." ”
Zhao Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "You have to be grateful to General Ye." ”
Zhao Yun is very smart, and it has been seen from Tong Yuan's words and deeds that Tong Yuan planned to introduce Zhang Ren to Ye Bin, but his senior brother Zhang Ren disagreed, disliking Ye Bin's young age, at this time, Tong Yuan asked Xiahou Lan to go up the mountain, obviously beating Xiahou Lan's attention.
However, Zhao Yun didn't have any objection to this, firstly, he had a good impression of Ye Bin, and felt that it was not something that could not be accepted by a good friend to join Ye Bin, and secondly, Xia Houlan was also able to get his master to really teach martial arts because of Ye Bin, so as long as Xia Houlan did not have any psychological obstacles, he felt that this matter was feasible.
Xia Houlan heard it in a fog, but she still understood that he was able to go up the mountain, maybe this General Ye had said something good for him.
"Thank you General Ye for your kind words, if Lan succeeds, he will definitely serve the general."
Ye Bin originally wanted to tell Xiahou Lan the truth, but Zhao Yun said: "Haha, that's right, let's go up the mountain together." ”
In fact, Zhao Yun was also a little worried, he was afraid that Xiahou Lan would not look down on Ye Bin's petty officials, once he did not agree to follow Ye Bin, Tong Yuan would be furious, not only would it be impossible to teach martial arts at that time, but it was estimated that he would not even be able to do it as a registered disciple.
Ye Bin suddenly discovered that although Zhao Yun was not very old, he knew how to measure things very well, not only did he say good things for him, but also did not let his friend be punished by his master.
Of course, Ye Bin also has a good impression of Xiahoulan, just because Xiahoulan doesn't know what Zhao Yun said, so he wants to bear it together, which proves that this person is loyal, the most important thing in his employment is loyalty, followed by ability, after all, no matter how powerful it is, if it is a white-eyed wolf, it is better not to.
The four of them returned to Changshan with a smile and a little closer to each other.
Tong Yuan saw that the three of them had a good chat, and he was also very happy, he already had an opinion on Zhang Ren, if Zhang Ren could be tactful, Tong Yuan would not think much about it, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, although he is a teacher, he will not impose it on others, but Zhang Ren looks down on Ye Bin, which makes Tong Yuan feel very uncomfortable.
Tong Yuan feels very good about Ye Bin, the two have been together for a long time, he feels that Ye Bin is not hypocritical, not a hypocrite, this is what makes him look at him differently.
"Xiahoulan, from today onwards, you will be allowed to go up the mountain at any time for the teacher, so you can do it yourself."
When Xia Houlan heard this, he immediately fell to the ground, tears of excitement flowed from his eyes, he waited for this day too hard, and he couldn't say anything with a whimper.
Tong Yuan also sighed when he saw Xiahou Lan's appearance, and explained unprecedentedly: "It's not that you're cold-hearted, Lan'er, your qualifications are average, not like your three senior brothers, even if you have the heart to teach as a teacher, you can't practice to the depths, as a teacher, I'm just afraid that after a long time, you will feel the gap between each other, and you will become more and more frustrated, but I didn't expect that this will become your heart disease." ”
Xiahou Lan kowtowed like garlic, and said with tears in her eyes: "Since the master rescued me from the thief, Lan'er has sworn that she has served the master all her life, and Lan'er has never blamed the master. ”
Tong Yuan shook his head and said: "A good boy is ambitious in all directions, do you want to learn to be a teacher, and you can't achieve anything at such an age?" As a teacher, he pinned all his hopes on the four of you, and now the second child has defected to his father, but after all, Runan is not a place to live for a long time, and it will not end well. ”
"The third teacher has not yet left the school, and his future achievements are unknown, and the teacher originally had great expectations for the boss, but today the teacher found out that he was so arrogant, and I don't know what will happen in the future."
"Of the four of you brothers, only you have the worst qualifications, and you have not been really taught by the teacher, the teacher knows, Zilong often teaches you some martial arts, but that martial arts are nothing to deal with ordinary people, once you meet a master, it is still not good."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he was immediately frightened and said, "The disciple violated the master's order, and asked the master to surrender." ”
Tong Yuan shook his head and said: "I already know about this matter, although you are good at advocating, but you also acquiesce for the teacher, otherwise you really think that the old teacher is dizzy?" ”
Zhao Yun didn't dare to say more, only heard Tong Yuan continue: "Your qualifications are not good, and now that you have become a bone, even if you have the power to defy the sky, you can't change it, I can only teach you some more life-saving skills, I hope you can serve General Ye well in the future." ”
Tong Yuan finally finished speaking, Xia Houlan couldn't react for a while, he had never heard Tong Yuan talk so much, he didn't expect to explain so much to himself today, and he was immediately very moved, and Tong Yuan's last sentence He also understood, Tong Yuan wanted to let himself work under Ye Bin, he didn't have any disgust with it, but was a little lucky.
"Thank you for the teachings of the master, the disciples will never dare to forget."
Tong Yuan waved his hand and said: "Go down, in the next three months, the teacher will carefully tailor a set of martial arts for you, as long as you learn it, although you can't become a first-class master, you should also be top-notch among second-rate masters, I hope you can do it yourself." ”
After Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan left, Tong Yuan left Ye Bin behind, and said with a wry smile:
"Boy, the old man is a shame today, it makes you laugh."
Ye Bin shook his head solemnly and said: "Tong Lao is hardworking, Ye Bin knows that since Brother Zhang Ren is unwilling to follow me, it is not easy to force it, Tong Lao thinks so much about the kid, the kid is already grateful." ”
Tong Yuan smiled with satisfaction, he had no son, and he was very strict with several apprentices, but after meeting Ye Bin, he felt very close, and almost regarded Ye Bin as his own child in his heart, this is an indescribable feeling, and even Tong Yuan himself did not realize it.
Now seeing Ye Bin's solemn look, Tong Yuan suddenly felt that he had not seen the wrong person, smiled and said: "Don't be so strict, the old man is not used to it, Xiahou Lan is a good child, he can be regarded as having a good home with you, after he leaves the school, the old man will ask him to find you, I hope you can treat him well." ”
Seeing Ye Bin nodded, Tong Yuan continued: "As for Yun'er, the old man values Zilong the most, and your thoughts are clear to the old man, but you must not force it at this time, if Zilong is willing to follow you in the future, the old man is also happy to see it, but if Zilong is unwilling, you don't force it." ”
Ye Bin smiled bitterly, who is Zhao Yun? That's a person who can kill seven in and seven out of Cao's army, this kind of top general in the top, how can he have the ability to persecute.
Tong Yuan saw Ye Bin smiling bitterly, and snorted coldly and said: "You don't have to be arrogant, if there will be chaos today, the old man sees you as not like ordinary people, and those savages in your territory are the best soldiers in the world, and in time they will become a great weapon, I just hope that you can still keep your heart when the time comes." ”
"Okay, there are too many things to say today, hey, the years are like a shuttle, so-and-so is already old, you can go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."
Ye Bin was a little worried, he wanted to stop talking, he knew that Tong Yuan was already planning to fight Wang Yue to the death, he didn't know which of the two was more powerful, but the two tigers would definitely be injured, he really didn't want anything to happen to Tong Yuan.
But he also knew that Tong Yuan was very stubborn, and it was impossible for him to change his mind because of his dissuasion, so he sighed and went down the mountain.
