Chapter Ninety-Three: Accepting Disciples

We found the carriage, put He Feng lightly in the carriage, and returned to Dingzhou City, where Huazi had disappeared cleanly, thinking that after Lord Sun Duo learned the news that the emperor had deceived them into going to the capital, he should have sent everyone everywhere to summon him.

We found the hospital in the city, Lang Zhong checked He Feng's pulse, and then looked at the wound, and said, the wound is quite deep, hurting the lung lobe, and needs to be taken care of. I left Xiao Yunmei in the hospital to serve He Feng, and went to Liu Bowen's fortune-telling booth by myself. Liu Bowen was telling fortunes, and when he saw me, he hurriedly closed the stall and apologized to everyone.

When I arrived at Liu Bowen's residence, I told him all about Fusang. Liu Bowen frowned, saying that the emperor had caught the leader of the beggar gang, but he was afraid that the disciples would know that it was a trap, and they would still go over and find a way to save him.

I asked, what can I do?

Liu Bowen closed his eyes, stroked his beard lightly, and opened his eyes after a while, since Fusang lied when he pretended to be a subordinate of King Yan, he would send 30,000 soldiers to feint attack the capital, forcing the garrison of the capital to have no time to estimate the children of the beggar gang, then we really have a feint. If the real army drove to Nanjing City, who would care if Hanako lived or died.

I asked, is there really King Yan's army on the edge of Nanjing?

Liu Bowen said with a smile, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could he allow troops that were not under his control to be stationed? Just ask the King of Qi in Qingzhou and the King of Tang in Nanyang to send an army each. The kings of Qi and Tang were very dissatisfied with the emperor's plan to cut the feudal domain, and they negotiated with the king of Yan many times and made a bloody alliance. The two places are closer to the capital, about more than 1,000 miles, and if you set off, you can approach the capital on the fifth day of the next month. When the emperor was alive, he used these two fiefs as an emergency, and if there were soldiers who came to rebel, he could rescue the capital. Unexpectedly, the first thing the emperor did when he came to power was to dismantle the emergency force.

I said that since Cheng Cheng Bo has a way to deal with it, then I am relieved.

Liu Bowen said, you need to hurry to Beiping. This feint to save the beggars gang in this time, the Son of Heaven will definitely be furious, and he will inevitably immediately send troops to attack the King of Qi and the King of Tang, and the war is about to begin. I'm worried that those ninjas have gone to Beiping, and if King Yan is assassinated, the other princes will have to sit back and wait for death. King Yan resisted the Xiongnu in Beiping, with the largest number of troops, and the war against the imperial court mainly relied on King Yan.

After I said goodbye to Liu Bowen, I returned to the hospital, He Feng had woken up at this time, his eyes were looking directly at the roof, Xiao Yunmei was frowning, and when she saw me coming back, she said, this widow seems to have suffered a big blow, and he didn't say a word after waking up.

I turned my head and asked Lang Zhong, who said that this condition can not be cured by medicine. After you go back, pay more attention to enlightenment and enlightenment, and let him get rid of the knots in his heart, this is the way.

I drove the carriage and hurried out of Dingzhou. Thinking of Liu Bowen's words, he was very worried about King Yan. On the way, Xiaoyunmei took good care of He Feng, often teasing him with words, or telling him books, but He Feng was still like a living dead. In the first few days of eating, Xiao Yunmei needed to pry He Feng's mouth open with a porcelain spoon before he was willing to eat. Later, he got better, and he was able to eat by himself, but he didn't want to talk.

On this day, we arrived in Baoding, and before we could enter the city, the city gate was closed. I drove the carriage to the edge of the woods outside the city and ate dry food with Xiao Yunmei. Xiao Yunmei got into the car and squeezed to my side after serving He Feng for dinner.

We looked up at the starry sky, Xiao Yunmei suddenly pointed her hand and said with a smile, Master, look, this star is the brightest.

I looked in the direction of Xiao Yunmei's finger and said, That's the Tai Bai Xing.

Xiao Yunmei said, Ah, isn't that the brother of Taishang Laojun? I heard that he is a white-haired, kind and kind old man, with high mana, and Taishang Laojun may not be his opponent.

I laughed, that's just a myth.

Xiao Yunmei said naughtily, Master, you can help me invite Tai Bai Xing to come down, let me see if he is a bad old man. If you are so good at light work, you will definitely be able to jump to the sky.

I smiled and said, no matter how good I am, it's not flying after all.

Xiao Yunmei grabbed my right arm with both hands and shook it gently, saying Master, you can jump one, I was carried in the sky by He Feng that day, and I was so frightened that my soul flew away, and I saw you jumping from the ground, like a fairy, you don't know how excited and admired I was at that time. I want to see you jump on the ground.

I was pestered by Xiao Yunmei for a while, thinking that she had been taking care of He Feng for the past few days, and she was very tired, so I agreed, jumped out of the carriage, stomped my feet, and the person quickly rose into the air.

It was November, and the night was quite cool, and the wind was beating against my face, and it felt cold. After a long time, the ascent, stopped, and by the light of the moon, I looked down at the carriage, which had become the size of a thumb. I looked at the city of Baoding again, and the lights of the city turned into stars, like the light of fireflies.

When I was approaching the ground, I waved my sleeves, and the person slowly fell to the ground. Xiao Yunmei opened her mouth wide and looked at me with adoration in her eyes.

I laughed and said, what's wrong?

Xiao Yunmei said, master, you are too platinum star. As he spoke, he took out a small bronze mirror from his arms and gave it to me, I looked at the mirror, my hair and eyebrows turned slightly white, and when I touched my hand, it turned out to be the frost of late autumn.

I returned to the carriage, and Xiao Yunmei leaned on my arm, closing her eyes and resting.

I said that these days have exhausted you, and He Feng doesn't know how long it will take to recover.

Xiaoyunmei said, Master, I have been fatherless and motherless like you since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to this kind of life. He Feng has been living in the capital with his parents, and it is normal for people to suddenly learn about these things, and he can't slow down for a while.

Why are you so kind to me?

Xiao Yunmei was very surprised, got into the carriage, and said that you are finally willing to speak!

He Feng still asked, why are you so good to me? I deceived you, betrayed you, you shouldn't be like this to me.

Xiao Yunmei said, then what should we do to you? Beat you up and throw you into the wilderness for the dog to eat? Who hasn't made a mistake yet? I used to be a thief, and I wanted to catch my master and go to the court to receive a reward, my master is still so good, why is this? Because he knows that I will definitely change. The so-called remedial remedy, it's not too late, and the so-called prodigal son turned back and didn't change his money, he still returned to the shore after going down the bitter sea, hit the south wall and turned around, and only sweated when he saw the coffin......

I said, eat trenches and grow wise, and never forget to be a good man.

Xiao Yunmei followed, it is not difficult to restrain the horse from the precipice, and the gold plate cannot be broken by washing hands.

After Xiao Yunmei finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled, turned her head to me and said, Master, the abbot and master's words still have some truth.

He Feng sat up and said I'm sorry, I have to go back to the capital.

Xiao Yunmei said angrily, Daozun killed your parents, and the Great Elder almost killed you again, do you still want to go back to Daozun?

He Feng said hatefully, I want to go back and kill Hattori Noichi with my own hands. My parents followed Noichi to the Central Plains when they were young, not to mention that they had the skills of dogs and horses, at least they had always been loyal to him. However, they did not complete their mission, and they were not captured, but they were disemboweled...... I think my parents thought that I was still young and couldn't let go of me, so they didn't agree to the caesarean section. That Hattori Noichi actually killed them. I don't understand why he had to force my parents to death.

Xiao Yunmei said, this is not simple? Daozun used your parents to kill chickens and monkeys, and whoever can't complete the task in the future will be their end.

He Feng wanted to stand up, but suddenly covered his chest and sat down again.

Xiao Yunmei hurriedly supported him and said, Your chest injury is very serious, and it won't get better for a while. Besides, with your current martial arts, how can you kill the Sword Venerable? You rush back to the capital now, but you are just sending him to death.

He Fengdao, the Central Plains is called the enmity of parents, and they do not share the sky. I...... If I can't kill Hattori Noichi, I'll just give him this life......

Xiaoyunmei said, last time the three of you senior brothers wanted to disembowel, your second senior brother said, our Central Plains said that you should stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood. Why did you forget it now? You can't beat Daozun now, because you are young and your time to learn art is still short......

He Fengdao, even if I practice this ninjutsu to the fullest, what's the use? These ninjutsu are all taught to me by Dao Zun. Could it be that I can beat him when I reach the peak of my practice? He still has a lot of sword skills that have not been passed on to me.

Xiao Yunmei said, what kind of mastery? Isn't it just such an unpopular move as one knife and two knife flows? If you want to take revenge, I don't think it's difficult. All you have to do is ......

He Feng asked, just what?

I said, as long as you worship me as a teacher and learn my martial arts, you may be able to defeat Daozun.

Xiao Yunmei clapped her hands and laughed, that's exactly the case.

He Fengdao, are you really willing to accept me as an apprentice?

I said, on the night we met Liu Bowen that day, I advised you to worship me as a teacher, but you didn't agree.

He Feng was ashamed, and said, this time and that time, you and I had a good conscience at that time, and now I ......

Xiaoyunmei said, don't be verbose, just ask you a word, do you want to worship the teacher?

He Feng hurriedly said, I worship, I worship.

I heard that he was willing to apprentice, and quickly turned around. He Feng wanted to get up, Xiao Yunmei walked over and picked him up, let He Feng kneel down with his legs, when He Feng kowtowed, Xiao Yunmei carefully supported He Feng's chest, afraid that his wound would rupture.

After kowtowing, He Fengdao, I, Hattori He Feng, Fuso Edo people, thanks to the master's affordability, willing to accept me as an apprentice, I will follow the master to learn hard, obey the master's teachings, as long as it is the master's orders, I will do my best to do it, never disobey. From then on, I will never be a ninja again, I will not do anything that hurts nature and reason, and I will live up to my master's hopes for me.

I laughed and said, OK, OK. As long as you sincerely turn back, whether you are from Fusang or from the Central Plains, in my eyes, you are my good apprentice.

Xiaoyunmei helped He Feng to lie down, very happy, and said to He Feng, quickly, call me senior sister.

He Feng was stunned for a moment and asked, I am older than you, how can I call you Senior Sister?

Xiaoyunmei said, don't you know the rules of the Central Plains? Don't say I'm fifteen years old, even if I'm five years old, I'm still your senior sister. Don't you want to scream?

He Feng was helpless, so he had to say, Senior Sister, I hope you will give me more advice.

Xiao Yunmei laughed, stroked her beard, and said, it's easy to say, as long as you are well-behaved, milk ...... Sister, I love you.

I saw that He Feng worshipped me as a teacher, and I was very happy, Xiaoyunmei had a younger brother, and she was also very excited, and we talked all night, and I didn't fall asleep until early in the morning.
