89. Apprenticeship and travel

After Gan Ning warned Chu River to turn over, he drifted away.

If Chu He still had a little bit of trained soldiers and horses in the past, he sent troops to attack the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, but now it has dispersed.

He originally thought that the Tigers were just recruiting soldiers and horses to strengthen themselves in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, but now he knows that this Tigers are really related to the Yellow Turban Army decades ago.

A powerhouse who is so terrifying that he can even burst out of the strength of the mid-stage realm of the fifth rank is not something that Chu He can compete with with the strength at hand now, not to mention that there may be other masters hidden in the Yellow Turban Army.

However, Gan Ning's statement made Chu He feel reassured that as long as the two great gods Gan Ning and Huang Zhong were willing to protect Qinghe Village, they could get enough time for development.

Chu He is still young, and the last thing he lacks is time.

Large-scale steelmaking is not necessary now, and other alloy steel formulations can be slowly researched and tested, and a small amount of high-grade steel equipment can be forged.

For Chu He, the main purpose of steelmaking is to exchange it for money and silver, and there is no way to know that steelmaking is dangerous, and this cannot be stopped.

Without money and silver, it is impossible to train soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to meet the cultivation needs of Chu He.

What he can do now is to control shipments and reduce the temptation of steelmaking to other forces, and I think those forces will not be afraid of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning.

Chu He returned to Qinghe Village and found that Jing Xiong had not entered the village, but was just waiting for him at the gate of the village.

After greeting Jing Xiong and inviting Jing Xiong to his mansion, Chu He personally went to the Wu family to find Wu Mei'er.

Wu Shizhu was training with Qianyuanwei's young men at this time, and Wu Mei'er and her mother-in-law Liu Fengru were at home.

However, they had already discussed it before and agreed to Wu Meier's study.

Wu Mei'er used to follow Chu He like a little tail, and she spent more time in Chu He's house than in her own home, but now Chu He rarely spends time at home, and Wu Mei'er rarely comes to his house.

Apprenticeship is a big deal, Liu Fengru carefully cleaned up Wu Mei'er, and personally took Mei'er to Chu He's house to see Jing Xiong.

The result was not as Chu He expected.

Jing Xiong considered Wu Mei'er's several questions, was quite satisfied with Wu Mei'er, nodded constantly, and finally took out a yellow talisman, stretched out his finger and drew a few times on the paper talisman, and asked Wu Mei'er to press her little hand on the paper talisman.

I don't know what the means are, Wu Meier's small handboard pressed on the paper talisman, which actually made the paper talisman glow with bursts of blue light, which lasted for three or four breaths before dissipating!

Jing Xiong was even more overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad! If Mrs. Wu has no opinion, Jing will accept Wu Mei'er as a disciple." ”

Liu Fengru was very surprised, and she didn't expect Chu He to really let Jing Xiong, a bachelor, accept Wu Mei'er as a disciple.

The status of the women of the Three Kingdoms is not high, and they don't even have words, so it is absolutely extremely rare for a fourth-grade bachelor to be accepted as a disciple.

Only Wu Mei'er was ignorant, she didn't know what it meant to worship Jing Xiong as a teacher, and she heard that she wanted to follow Jing Xiong to Qinzhou, but she was unwilling, and when Chu He said that she would also go to Qinzhou, Wu Mei'er pursed her mouth and reluctantly agreed.

Of course, Wu Shizhu was also called back, and then there was a formal and grand apprenticeship ceremony, according to the rules here, six kinds of apprenticeship were given, and Jing Xiong also returned to Wu Meier's four treasures of the study, and the master-apprentice relationship was settled.

This extremely serious and cumbersome apprenticeship ceremony in Chu He's eyes is actually simple in Jing Xiong's eyes, at least there are no respected elders to witness it, but there is nothing to worry about in this mountainous and wild place.

Chu He was embarrassed to mention to Jing Xiong that he was going to Qinzhou to study.

After all, a fourth-grade bachelor, normally speaking, is fully qualified to be the master of Chu River.

If Chu He went to Qinzhou to study and didn't worship under Jing Xiong, Jing Xiong's face would have no place to put it. To put it seriously, it is not too much to say that it is an insult to Jing Xiong.

Chu He could deal with Jing Xiong by saying that he wanted to study martial arts, but if Jing Xiong knew that he was still practicing Wendao in the future, it would be quite embarrassing.

In fact, most of the masters who taught children of Chu He's age were second-grade scholars of the Cultivation Realm, and it was already a great cultivation for children to be able to worship under the Confucian sect of the third-grade Tibetan Essence Realm, let alone become disciples of fourth-grade scholars.

It is almost impossible for a bachelor of the fifth grade to accept such a poor disciple as an apprentice.

If Jing Xiong hadn't met Gan Ning before, just because of this matter, even if he admired Wu Mei'er again, it would be impossible to accept Wu Mei'er as an apprentice.

Now he is pretending to be deaf and dumb, and he doesn't ask what Chu He did in Qinzhou, so as not to embarrass everyone.

At the strong request of Wu Shizhu and his wife, Jing Xiong stayed in Qinghe Village for two more days, and on the third day, he took Wu Meier to Qinzhou.

During this time, Chu He had already handled all kinds of things properly and instructed various matters, so he set off with Jing Xiong.

Originally, Chu He didn't want to be with Jing Xiong, so as not to embarrass everyone, but Wu Mei'er was still young, if she was allowed to leave the house alone with Jing Xiong, a stranger who had only known each other for two or three days, even if she was born smart and knew that her parents were for her good, it would be impossible to happily follow Jing Xiong to Qinzhou to practice Wendao.

Chu He accompanied Wu Mei'er, at least she could have a period of time to adapt.

When I went to Qinzhou, Chu He was also lightly traveled, and he didn't carry many things.

The Chu blacksmith was originally going to create a full-body battle armor for Chu He, but in the end he dismissed the idea.

Because Chu He's size has grown too fast, and I don't know if it is beginning to develop, or because of the improvement of cultivation, in just three or two months, it has grown five or six centimeters tall, and there is no momentum to stop at all.

If you really wait for the Chu blacksmith to make the armor suitable for children to wear, I am afraid that it can only be left for the children of Chu He to wear.

The current Chu River is just wearing alloy steel parts such as heart goggles to protect vital parts, plus a small long prismatic alloy shield that can be put on the forearm.

In addition, although Chu He did not carry a Mo knife and a large steel sword, just in case, he still prepared a small steel sword, with a tiger skin as a sheath behind his back, and an ordinary steel bow, which is really dangerous, at least there are long-range attack methods.

At a critical time, this steel bow can also be sold in exchange for money and silver, or used to test the waters, so as to open up Qinzhou's weapons trade channel.

A pot of demon honey and a small amount of pills, including dragon tendon and tiger fetal pills, etc., are indispensable.

In addition to the laundry, although he traveled lightly, he also carried two large cloth bags, along with a steel bow, and hung them on the black Puma who accompanied him.

Jing Xiong rode a black Puma alone, Wu Meier unexpectedly stuck to Chu He, two little hands hugged Chu He's waist, two big eyes were still tearful, and he had not recovered from the sadness of saying goodbye to his father.

Compared with Wu Meier's simple reluctance, Chu He's mood is much more complicated.

This trip to Qinzhou can be regarded as the first time he has gone out alone.

The territory of this world is extremely vast, and it is completely different from the earth, from Qinghe Village to Datong County, there are two hundred miles, not to mention Qinzhou.

From Qinzhou to Datong County, the most remote county in the empire, there are nearly 20 counties separated by Tianshui County, Hongdong County, and Birdsong County, and I am afraid that there are two or three thousand miles away.

In this world, transportation is not developed, and it is impossible to travel to and from Qinzhou and Datong County casually. In fact, the 3,000 Shuangyue Iron Cavalry in Qinzhou delayed for so long to launch an attack on the Yellow Turban Army, and the delay on the road was also a major reason.

The steelworks in Chuhe did not attract the attention of really powerful forces, and it also had a lot to do with the fact that Qinghe Village was too remote.

Remoteness means that information is not smooth, and up to now, only a few forces such as Zhubingmen, Qinzhou Wangjia, and the Yellow Turban Army know about some of the steelmaking in Qinghe Village.

Chu He was a little dazed, and he was somewhat reluctant to leave Qinghe Village, where he had lived for a long time.

He didn't know when he would be able to return to Qinghe Village when he went to Qinzhou to study this time.
