Just when the women in the backyard of the General's Mansion in Zhenbei were busy until the third day, an old man with a childish face and strong spirit walked into the main gate of the Zhao Mansion with vigorous steps.

This old man, surnamed Tong Mingyuan, is known to people who are familiar with him as "Penglai Gun God Sanren". Tong Yuan received three apprentices in his life, the eldest apprentice was Zhang Xiu, the pioneer general under the command of Dong Zhuo, the general of Zhenxi, the second apprentice was Zhang Ren, the former governor of the soldiers and horses of Yizhou Mu Sima Langza, and the third apprentice was Zhao Yun, the commander of the vanguard army under the command of Zhao Xing, the general of Zhenbei. All three apprentices learned his "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear" and gained a high reputation.

In fact, Lao Tong also has an unnamed disciple, and that is Zhao Xing, who is rampant in the north. Although Tong Yuan did not teach Zhao Xing personally, after all, he had specially left Zhao Xing the spear and carved bow used when he became famous, as well as a set of martial arts secrets for marksmanship and archery. Later, the overlord gun that Zhao Xing learned came from Tong Yuan's apprentice Zhao Yun, which was actually equivalent to indirectly learning from Tong Yuan.

Zhao Xing has been thinking about looking for an opportunity to meet this master, but since Tong Yuan left Zhao Yun's master, he began to travel around, and he disappeared all day long, so Zhao Xing gave up. Lu Zhi led an army of 500,000 to besiege Bingzhou, such a big movement, everyone in the world knows, Tong Yuan naturally will not turn a blind eye.

Since Zhao Yun found Zhao Xing according to Tong Yuan's instructions, he has been following Zhao Xing's side. Over the years, Zhao Yun would often mention Zhao Xing's situation to his master in his letters, the purpose of which was naturally to reassure Tong Yuan. Every time Zhao Yun's letter is personally sent to a secret realm in Changshan, as long as the master returns from the wandering, he can naturally see it.

In fact, Tong Yuan did look at the letter from his little apprentice Zhao Yun as soon as he returned from a wandering. Seeing that Zhao Xing is becoming more and more powerful and powerful, as a martial artist, he is naturally relieved in his heart.

Martial artists have not had much reverence for imperial power since ancient times, and what they are pursuing in their hearts is the supreme realm of martial arts, the ultimate peak of strength, and they generally don't care much about all the human power that may bind and fetter freedom. Tong Yuan is also such a person, he likes to be a ranger, forgets to be between mountains and rivers, and has never had much interest in power struggles. This is also the reason why he was reluctant to come to see Zhao Xing, he was afraid that after meeting the cheap apprentice who liked to abduct people, he would not be able to get away from it in the future, and he would lose a piece of freedom.

Although he is unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the apprentices' hegemony, it does not mean that when he sees his apprentices being bullied, or even when the apprentices draw knives against each other, Lao Tong can still deal with it calmly. I heard that Lu Zhi brought 500,000 people to bully Zhao Xing and Zhao Yun, and Zhang Xiu was still in the Zhao coalition army, fortunately Zhang Ren did not go to Bingzhou in person from Shuzhong, otherwise Tong Yuan's four apprentices would fight two to two, and it is really hard to say how many can be left. In order to avoid such a tragic thing from happening, Lao Tong decided to go to Crouching Tiger City in person and talk to Zhao Xing about this serious matter.

Li Yuhuan, who had been waiting for Tong Yuan to come to the door, heard Zhao Gang run in and report that an old man had come to the front hall, calling himself Tong Yuan, and immediately rushed to the front hall from the backyard to meet the old acquaintance in person.

In the front hall, Tong Yuan sat on his seat, leisurely sipping the tea made by Zhao Gang, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry. Just as he was closing his eyes and smelling the fragrance of tea, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from the back hall, and then heard a middle-aged woman's voice say eagerly: "Tong Daxia, the people's woman Zhao is reasonable!"

As soon as he heard this, Tong Yuan hurriedly got up and turned his head, so he saw Li Yuhuan with a happy face who was making a blessing to him.

"Sister of the Zhao family, please hurry up, such a big gift, Tong doesn't dare to do it!" Tong Yuan hurriedly helped him through the air, and then greeted Li Yuhuan. Tong Yuan was seriously injured in the depths of Taihang Mountain, rescued by the kind-hearted hunter Zhao Si, who had been injured in Zhao's family for more than a month, and was carefully cared for by Zhao Si and his wife Li Yuhuan, this kindness was naturally very heavy, so Tong Yuan did not dare to accept Li Yuhuan's gift.

"Thanks to Tong Daxia's teachings back then, so that the slave family has never given up on my idiot, and now it has come true, Xing'er has made a great career, but it's a pity that his hard-working father can't see it......" Li Yuhuan recalled the past and couldn't help but feel sad.

"The sister of the Zhao family still needs to be open-minded, and now that Ru'er is powerful in the north, even the Son of Heaven is very jealous, and it can be regarded as God blessing the Zhao family, so that the Zhao brothers will be prosperous and rich from now on. Tong Yuan enlightened Li Yuhuan and said.

Tong Daxia said the same, he only cared about the past, and forgot to let Xing'er's daughters-in-law come out to meet the elders. Now that Xing'er is fighting outside, a few days ago he specially wrote a letter stating that because he could not greet the teacher in person, he had to be done by our women in the house. After Li Yuhuan finished speaking, she asked people to go to the backyard and call their families to come and see Tong Yuan.

After a while, a group of women, girls and children of all sizes crowded into the front hall, almost squeezing the front hall to the point that people could not stay.

Tong Yuan looked at the group of women in front of him, and a large number of big children who showed curious eyes, and suddenly had the feeling when Tai Shici climbed the seventh floor of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

"Lady Xu has seen Master!"

"The second woman, the Hu family, has seen the master!"

......

"Apprentice Sun Zhao Zhenbang has seen Shigong!"

"Apprentice's granddaughter Zhao Siping has seen her master!"

Tong Yuan listened to the various names in his ears, and watched the adults and children walk forward to salute him, so he had to force a smile and salute one by one, that was really tiring!

After the family members met Tong Yuan, they didn't say a few polite words, and Li Yuhuan invited Tong Yuan to go to the Drunken Immortal Building for a banquet, saying that it was to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the benefactor and the hero. Tong Yuan naturally didn't want to refuse, so he went to the Drunken Immortal Tower for a banquet. Fortunately, Gao Shun, Li Jinsi and others were accompanied by Gao Shun during the banquet, which made Tong Yuan feel more comfortable.

After being full of wine and food, Li Yuhuan led everyone to quit Tong Yuan, leaving only Li Jinsi and Gao Shun to accompany him to Yingbin Garden. On the way to Yingbin Garden, Li Jinsi gave a detailed introduction to Tong Yuan about the situation that Bingzhou is facing now, and said with concern: "If the situation drags on for a long time, the Bingzhou and Zhao coalition forces will fall into an endless situation, which is really not what my brother and even the people of Bingzhou want!"

"The little brother of the Li family took the trouble to tell the old man about these things, but what is there that I need to do?" Tong Yuan finally asked Li Jinsi directly. has been out and mixed up for most of his life, if Tong Yuan can't even hear what he says, then he will be in vain.

"The kid doesn't dare to deceive Tong Daxia, there is indeed a tricky thing, no one can do it if he is not a hero!" Li Jinsi was not hypocritical, and replied smoothly. Subsequently, Li Jinsi revealed part of Zhao Xingtianji's plan to Tong Yuan, and I believe that Tong Yuan also weighed the priorities of this.

After listening to Li Jinsi's explanation, Tong Yuan stared for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to leave this matter to me. However, during my trip to Luoyang, what if my eldest apprentice Zhang Xiu fights with the Zhenbei Army?"

"Tong Daxia doesn't need to worry too much, my brother has already made arrangements for this matter, and he will definitely be able to protect Zhang Xiu's safety and not hurt him in the slightest. Li Jinsi saw that Tong Yuan almost agreed to send the letter, so he told Tong Yuan with a certain face that Zhao Xing had made arrangements and would not hurt Zhang Xiu.

"That's fine. The matter of going to Luoyang to deliver the letter should not be delayed for a long time. Yu will leave tomorrow, and he will definitely be able to hand over the letter to the emperor, and I hope that I can resolve a war between the imperial court and the state!" Tong Yuan finally said.
