Chapter 1 The Teahouse Guy
"Said this empty sword villa eighteen generals, that is really a gift from God to the Great Qi, when the old saint sympathetic to the people, self-formed an army to save the people in fire and water, how to expect the war continued, although there are soldiers but no good use of the general, until that day, the empty sword mountain was born, within a hundred miles, that is the golden light, eighteen horsemen side by side from the steep mountain galloping down, the scene is the momentum of the sky, the old saint later said, that day thousands of people shed tears, the soldiers under his command are all awe-inspiring, it is also that day, the legend was staged, eighteen horsemen only out of eight cavalry to destroy the forces that occupied Zhongyan County and controlled the entire Lingzhou at that time, banner herdAt that time, there were 300,000 people in the dragon army who were fighting with them, as far as the eye could see, they were all densely packed with soldiers in armor, our Qi army only came out of 100,000 and eight generals of the empty sword villa, the war only lasted 3 days, the forced dragon army was defeated and retreated, and even withdrew from Zhongyan County, and fled all the way to the north of Qianling Prefecture, all the way to lose their armor and abandon their armor, embarrassed, and they were afraid that the eight generals of the Qi army would chase after them, since that battle, the Qi army can be said to be invincible, and successively defeated the border states, Zhongzhou, Pingzhou, and the remaining Yunzhou, Liangzhou's forces saw that the general trend had been decided, and they all fell to my Daqiβ
"What about the other ten generals, what are their famous battles?" In between the gentlemen's tea, a tea guest couldn't help but ask the question he had been wanting to ask.
Mr. stroked his long beard, because the weather was too hot and dry, the folding fan kept dancing, "In addition to the eight generals who are good at using soldiers, there are also eight generals who are good at training, legend has it that the eight generals trained the soldiers, and the soldiers under them are all brave and good at fighting, and the good soldiers galloping on the battlefield. β
"Didn't you say that there are eighteen generals, and what are the other two generals?" someone asked, spotting the other two generals that the gentleman had not mentioned.
"Those two generals, according to the folk saying, are good at deduction, and they are also strategists in the army, but there is another theory in the palace, the two generals are two god generals, and the other sixteen generals are all under the orders of these two generals, and there are rumors that these two generals have never made a move, but some juniors in the army say that the remaining sixteen generals are the first to look forward to the two of them, and sometimes even because of the rhetoric against the two generals were beaten to the next day, and even the training can only be temporarily stranded. β
"There is such a legendary thing! Feast your eyes! Feast your eyes!" The tea guests came in waves, but the gentleman never got tired of hearing about the deeds of the eighteen generals, even if the weather was so sultry, this teahouse called Biyunxuan was full of customers every day.
Listening to this gentleman talking about these legends every day, the young man who was coming down with tea upstairs was unmoved, and the reason why he was unmoved was because he knew more secrets.
For example, the two generals who are called god generals are actually the eldest apprentices and second apprentices of the old owner of the empty sword villa, the big apprentice is the scholar brought by the old owner when he traveled to the famous mountains and rivers in his early years, and the second apprentice is the son of the owner of the village, but he is a righteous son, and the remaining sixteen are also the apprentices of the old owner, and it is rumored that the two generals are short-tempered, which is out of nowhere, the strength of the two of them is indeed very high, and the remaining sixteen are not opponents together, but the temper is misunderstood, for the two of them, the master sent them down the mountain, that is, the rest of the junior disciples were entrusted to the two of them, and the sixteen junior brothers and the two of them were regarded as their own sons, said to be temperate, that is all hatred of iron does not become steel, instead of the teacher's lessons, in private, those sixteen junior brothers, every day to the senior brother and the second senior brother as idols, they are fanatical worship, even if the senior brother beats, the second senior brother scolds, for them it is because the senior brother and the second senior brother care about them.
And the boy knew this, and even more than the storyteller didn't, and he certainly didn't think so.
"Xiao Hao, you come to help me take a look, I look a little confused about this account, you can help me take a look" Speaking is the shopkeeper of this teahouse, he can open a teahouse in the center of the huge capital, he was also a character in his early years, he was called to the young man who served tea, named Wen Hao, a month ago, Wen Hao appeared on this street, began to come to drink tea, and later became familiar with the shopkeeper Wang, and often helped him settle some redundant accounts, so the shopkeeper Wang also left him and let him settle in Biyunxuan, but who would have expected that Wen Hao, a young man who looked very shy, was never tired of work, not dirty, hard-working, and also helped him solve a lot of troubles, so the shopkeeper Wang valued this teenager very muchγ
After settling the accounts, Wen Hao showed the shopkeeper a cup of tea, the old and the young sat opposite each other, the shopkeeper waited for Wen Hao to speak, he knew that Wen Hao had something to say.

Seongnam General's Mansion
"What I ordered you to investigate, have you found out clearly?" The question was naturally the general Huo Long, General Huo.
"Back to the general's words, since a month ago, you sent a letter to the villain from the military camp and asked me to check the young man who came down from the empty sword mountain, the little self-governor is heavy, and he did not dare to slack off. β
"Oh, where can it be?" said General Huo in surprise.
"The general didn't know that this young man came to Damian Street, and he actually devoted himself to being a teahouse, which is really not like what the general said, but the young master of Kongjian Villa. β
"What do you know! The people in the villa, which one is an ordinary man, this time the empty sword villa is a challenge to the imperial court, his only son has reached the age, it is a good age to go down the mountain, and it is also a test for him in the villa, but there is really one thing!
The servant's brows were knotted, the villa was certainly powerful, but the fact that the young master of the Empty Sword Villa went down the mountain made the general so anxious.
"When the eighteenth rode down the mountain, to help Daqi achieve a thousand years of hegemony, that is a good story to this day, and now the legendary old owner of the empty sword villa has passed away, and after knowing the news, several forces in the border state have revived, thinking that without the old owner of the empty sword villa, Daqi is a lamb to be slaughtered, and until recently, even Pingzhou, Zhongzhou and some small counties close to the border state have begun to have small actions, what a group of white-eyed wolves! The Holy Lord didn't let me use the army, and I was still wondering at the time, but it wasn't until later, when a secret letter came from the study's room, that I suddenly realized!"
"The villain doesn't know what this has to do with the young master of the Empty Sword Villa?" the servant's appetite was satisfied, but he couldn't directly let the general continue.
"Fuck! After that incident happened ten years ago, the situation in the southwest is actually very tense now, and this time the young owner of the Empty Sword Villa went down the mountain, just for this matter, the villa spoke, and he couldn't settle down, and he couldn't go back to the mountain! It would not be clear what kind of person the young owner is, but the villa has made himself so unable to step down as the young owner, so it seems that the villa attaches great importance to the young owner, and the villa thinks that who is not a general, that is, a person who will have great fame in the future, not to mention the legendary eighteen generals who protect the country, the supreme Wenlong in the sword of a thousand miles of swords, the famous scholar Wenqing, and the high scholar who is rumored to be in the realm. β
The servant was frightened when he heard it, and gradually heard a little clue, this young owner does not seem to be an empty bag, especially when he hears the rumored master who has been at the peak of martial arts and entered the country with martial arts, he does not dare to despise it at all.
"General, forgive the villain for being stupid, it's not a bad thing for the young owner of the Empty Sword Mountain Villa to go down the mountain this time, and the general doesn't have to interfere in the affairs of the southwest, this is even more worry-free, in this case, why is the general worried?"
"Alas, of course I don't worry about myself, after Wenlong killed Qu Shimin, I knew everything, I was worried about Feng'er, he was strictly disciplined by me since he was a child, and practiced martial arts diligently, and he also opened up the second pulse at the age of 16, he is qualified to achieve a career in martial arts, but unfortunately, I originally wanted to lay the foundation for Feng'er with the tension in the southwest, so that he could have some experience, but who would think, the court didn't want me to make a move, how dare I let Feng'er go to the southwest alone!"
"General, do you want to?" said the servant, his eyes wide, as if suddenly realized.
"If this is really the most crisis since the founding of the Great Qi, then, the young owner of Kongjian Mountain must have a big plan, so I want Feng'er to follow him, if it is really feasible, it must be famous through the ages!
"The villain understands, the villain is trying his best to find the young owner of Empty Sword Mountain, and he will invite the young owner of the village!"
Suddenly, a report came from outside the hall, Huo Longling didn't care, holding a cup of tea, his brows furrowed like banana leaves.
"General, there is news from the teahouse brothers!"
"Bang!" Huo Long suddenly became interested. "Come on, come on!"
"In the past few months, the new face is only the little guy in the teahouse, I heard that he came there last month, named Wen Hao, but he has always been called Xiao Hao to the outside world, only the shopkeeper of Biyunxuan knows that his name is Wen Hao, listen to the shopkeeper of the king, this person is very person-like in words and deeds, not impatient, gentle in conversation, and serious and down-to-earth, in the teahouse wears many hats, as far as the king of Biyunxuan knows, Wen Hao is proficient in calculation, calligraphy, has a very charming pen and ink, and according to the news just came, Wen Hao has decided to leave Biyunxuanγ β
"Good! Good! Good! Talent! Wen Hao! Feng'er is talking about him! Keep a low profile, everyone's demeanor, fucking okay, come and come. "Happy, the general is to reveal the banditry in the army.
The servants beside him had already been ready, and he was about to send someone to invite Wen Hao, but he suddenly heard two words that the general had come and would never forget in his life.
"Prepare the horses!"

Biyun Xuan
"Shopkeeper, Wen Hao thanked you for taking in, but Wen Hao went out of the mountain gate, and there are important things to do, I'm afraid there is no way to stay in Biyunxuan, besides, I have disturbed you for so long, I am quite ashamed, so tomorrow Wen Hao will leave, I have already helped the guys marinate the meat in the kitchen, Mr. has been saying hot recently, I spent three days making a bamboo screen, which can also prevent heat, and in the future, if your accounts are not clear, you will hire a small man to settle accounts, don't be reluctant to have money, your own body is also very important, don't eat too salty, my father has said since he was a child that eating too salty is not good for the bodyβ
"Wait, wait, wait" Shopkeeper Wang was a little confused, although he was moved, but when he heard Wen Hao speak seriously, he was indeed a little touched. "Leaving Biyunxuan, where are you going?"
"Someone will come to pick me up later" Wen Hao's face showed an arrogance that he had never seen before, this arrogance would not make people feel uncomfortable, but it made the shopkeeper Wang feel a sense of convincing, and since then, he has found that he has not seen through this "little guy" in his own teahouse.
