Volume 1: Mortal Trials Chapter 41: Drums Don't Need to Be Hammered
Chapter 41: The drum does not need to be beaten with a hammer
Of course, Hu Lao understood Ah Ren's careful thoughts, so he didn't break it, and he was very cooperative, patting Ah Ren on the shoulder and saying, "You kid, you've only been away for a few days, so you think of me? Come on, I'll introduce you!"
As he spoke, Hu Lao led Ah Ren to Zhou Weimin and said to Ah Ren: "I don't need to introduce this one, right?"
"No need Master, Ah Ren didn't know how to salute, so he gave a military salute to Zhou Weimin, "Hello President!"
"Hehe, Ah Ren, don't be so polite, you kid is so blessed, when did you become Master's closed disciple?"
Zhou Weimin asked the questions of the other two junior disciples, and even Hu Lao looked at Ah Ren with interest to see how he answered.
To tell the truth, Ah Ren's master did stunned Hu Lao, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible to accept this kid as an apprentice, this kid is very clever and his skills are okay, the most important thing is that among the layers of people he has contacted, he has never met this kind of alternative, just this cheeky person, he is the first person in his circle, just by virtue of this, it is not unjust to accept him.
Ah Ren suddenly became confident after seeing Hu Lao's acquiescing eyes, it doesn't matter what kind of president or minister, as long as the old guy recognizes me, then everything will be easy.
After Ah Ren heard Zhou Weimin's question, he hurriedly put on a respectful look and said, "Senior brother, you don't know anything!"
A "senior brother" directly stunned everyone present, and the guards standing on the side almost drove him down, Nima! This is the president, you really dare to be close!
The second and third children are also confused, where did the master find such a freak, since the senior brother took office, the two have never dared to call the senior brother like this again, this guy is good, he is a senior brother when he opens his mouth, and he is so affectionate....
Hu Lao was immediately happy when he heard it, okay, this kid is interesting, this dish can finally put some spices.... I really want to accept such an apprentice.
Zhou Weimin thought he was hallucinating when he heard this title, but he recovered in an instant, he was a big man second to none, and his mind had already turned back and forth a few times without moving.
"Senior brother, don't mind if I call you that in private, right?"
Ah Ren also asked Zhou Weimin in a shy, except for Hu Lao, everyone present was deceived by Ah Ren's innocence.
"Very good, that's how it should be, junior brother, you go on!"
Zhou Weimin also likes Ah Ren very much, Hu Lao praised Ah Ren in front of him a few days ago, and also discussed with himself about Ah Ren to be sent to the second child, and also knew that Ah Ren was a famous prodigy, but Hu Lao did not tell Zhou Weimin that Ah Ren usually doesn't wash his face much, so Zhou Weimin thought that Ah Ren was just simple and naïve!
Ah Ren was stunned: "Little junior brother, yes, this title is good, I like it, then I'll continue." That's right, although Master and I haven't known each other for a long time, we both have a feeling of seeing each other late!"
"Right, Master?" Ah Ren turned his head and asked Hu Lao, not forgetting to blink his eyes and ask Hu Lao to cooperate with him.
"Huh?"
Before Hu Lao could figure out how to answer, Ah Ren continued.
"When Master first saw me, he said to me, "Ah Ren, your three senior brothers are too busy, the old man has no one to teach him, and you are extremely intelligent. Today, the old man will accept you as my closed disciple, and teach you everything I have learned in my life, you study hard, and after you finish your studies in the future, you can assist your three senior brothers in handling state affairs, and also benefit the people, if someone asks him in the future, you will directly say that you are my youngest apprentice, even if your three senior brothers, they dare not bully you! Hehe, that's what happened, three senior brothers: the younger brother came to Kyoto for the first time, and he is not familiar with the place, and I ask the three senior brothers to take care of the little brother for the sake of the master's face and our inheritance, and the little brother is grateful!"
Ah Ren didn't need to pretend to act, Hu Lao was stunned for a while, and even regretted his decision a little, did this kid succeed?
"Haha, Master, the little junior brother is really interesting, congratulations to the master for having a good apprentice!"
Although Zhou Weimin did not answer Ah Ren's words positively, he could hear it in the conversation with Hu Lao that he liked this little junior brother very much.
Before Hu Lao could speak, the third Yang Baohua stepped forward and grabbed Ah Ren's shoulders and said, "Boy, have you practiced?"
It can be seen that the third child is a cheerful person, which is obviously a little different from what Hu Lao guessed, and from Ah Ren's 'special' point of view, the third child is definitely a bright and upright man.
"Hehe, this is your third senior brother Yang Baohua, the deputy commander of the army!"
Zhou Weimin saw that the master did not want to introduce the third child, so he took the initiative to stand up and explain. There's no way, today I forced the third child to come, otherwise with the third child's temperament, I really wouldn't be at the master's house except for the New Year, and the master is obviously still a little unable to pull down his face, not to mention that the assassination case has not been found out so far, so the master has always had a thorn in his heart, Zhou Weimin also understands that this matter is not something that can be solved in a day or two, fortunately, there is a living treasure, I hope that with him, I can ease it.
"The junior brother has seen the third senior brother, Ah Ren said after performing an ancient Jianghu salute, I haven't practiced systematically, but three or five people can't get close to me!"
"Heh, it's a big breath, why don't we have a competition?"
The third child is a cheerful person who likes to practice a few times, a big man of more than one meter and eight meters, and everyone wants to compare and compare.
Ah Ren didn't talk to Yang Baohua as restrained as Zhou Weimin, and immediately smiled when he heard this: "Okay, then pout your ass first and see which of us is bigger!"
"Haha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and even Hu Lao couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, okay, dare to make fun of me, you kid is okay, but your temperament is quite to my liking, I will spare you for the time being today, and when the master is not present, no one will protect you, see if I don't fix you!"
The third child also sold a good to Hu Lao in disguise, and his words were full of respect for Hu Lao, in fact, the third child was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, and he could see it from the first meeting to Ah Ren, the third child was thick and fine, but the third child really couldn't stand the master's favor of the dark second child, so he spoke more directly a few times, hurting his feelings with the master, although he had the heart to make up for it, but every time the second child was mixed in it, so that every time it ended in a more embarrassing situation, this time it was okay, it seems that with this little junior brother in the future, the situation will change slightly。
Hu Lao heard the meaning of the overture in the third sentence, and felt a little conflicted, but did not speak.
The country's leading figures actually took the initiative to greet Ah Ren, which had to give Ah Ren a topic to brag about in the future, of course, all this came from the majesty of Hu Lao, as well as the "innocence and cuteness" shown by Ah Ren.
"Little junior brother, let's stay in the army for a few years, exercise and exercise, and be more manly, how about it?"
The third child likes Ah Ren very much, and added such a sentence at the end.
The second Li Kang was anxious when he heard it, Ah Ren is a celebrity in front of the master, and he will have to be helped by the master when he becomes president in the future, so he has to win over the little junior brother.
Li Kangnai is the commander-in-chief of all departments with real power except the military, such as supervision and justice. In the entire Huaxia Kingdom, it is also a character who can tremble a few times by stomping his feet, but now in Hu Lao's house, he has no prestige at all, and when he heard Yang Baohua first open his mouth to let Ah Ren go to the army, he suddenly said urgently: "Third child, how can you do this? You don't know that Ah Ren was sent by the master to learn from me......
"What do you learn from you, do you want to learn those conspiracies?" Yang Baohua directly scolded the second child, showing no mercy.
"Third child, I don't want to argue with you in front of the master, you don't want to get an inch!"
The second child has a good temper, but on this occasion, the third child does not give himself face, which really makes him angry, but the third child has no choice but to move out of the master to suppress him.
"Humph!"
The third child also knew that it was not suitable to argue with the second child at this time, so he turned his head with a cold snort.
"Ah Ren, I am your second senior brother, my name is Li Kang, in just a few days, the master has mentioned it several times in front of me, and I finally saw you today, it is really a hero out of a young man, hehe!"
Judging from his face alone, Li Kang belongs to the kind of honest character, and there are not too many gorgeous words when he speaks, but Ah Ren always feels that it is not as happy as when he talks to Yang Baohua, and Ah Ren himself can't say exactly what aspect.
"Thank you for the praise of the second senior brother, the master said, several senior brothers are leaders in various fields with great talents, let the younger brother learn from the senior brothers, and ask a few senior brothers to give advice!"
"Okay, Ah Ren, your senior brothers will take care of you, it's hard for you to bump all the way, the old man will pick up the wind for you, go, go to the house. After Hu Lao finished speaking, he didn't care about the other three, took Ah Ren's hand and took the lead towards the house.
"When did the old man agree to accept you as a scoundrel?"
Hu Lao took advantage of the fact that the two of them were walking in front of him and asked Ah Ren in a low voice.
"Hehe, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, in the name of your apprentice, at least you can enjoy some special treatment, besides, it's cool to be able to be with these peers......" After answering Hu Lao's words, even Ah Ren himself couldn't help but be secretly happy.
Hu Lao: "I'm cool to your sister, you directly disrupted all my plans, you have become my fourth apprentice, how can I put you next to the second child, isn't that a naked favoritism?"
Ah Ren glanced at Hu Lao, and said meaningfully: "Old man, the highest level of routines is that there are no routines, and you don't even know the plan, how can the enemy know!"
"Well, that seems to make sense!"
It was the first time Hu Lao had heard such a fallacy, but if he thought about it carefully, it did make sense, this little ghost can always say that the wrong is right, and now there is no way but to accept this kid first, otherwise, it is really difficult to place him.
Ah Ren lowered his voice and continued: "Old man, in my opinion, the third senior brother will not be the murderer of the assassination!"
"Oh, how can you see it?" asked Hu Lao with some curiosity.
"Feeling! Because of my feeling, I never missed it!"
Ah Ren said this very confidently, smiled proudly, shook off his steps and walked forward with his head held high.
Hu Lao "......"
"Bang", Ah Ren squatted on the ground with his head covered, everyone wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, only the third Yang Baohua, laughed and stepped forward to help Ah Ren up.
"Damn, it's just a glass, why are you so bright?"
Ah Ren pointed to the transparent glass in front of him and asked Hu Lao, not forgetting to kick twice at the glass pillar below.
This time, not only the eldest and the second were a little scared, but even the third character couldn't help but be a little worried, how could this little junior brother not speak big or small, dare to talk to the master in this tone, and actually added a "I rely on" in front.
What surprised several people was that Hu Lao was not angry. I saw Hu Lao holding his hands behind his back slowly, and said happily: "The old man named this glass 'Demon Mirror', and all ghosts and ghosts will be carried in front of this mirror." Also, this mirror is also a braggart!"
After speaking, Hu Lao walked towards the house humming a little tune with his hands behind his back, thinking as he walked, "Little bastard, finally let me get back a game!"
