Volume 1 Wandering Rivers and Lakes Chapter 60 True Temperament, Great Husband.
There is a custom of the Huangquan Sword Sect that every time an outer disciple advances to the inner gate, an elder will lead the new inner disciple to travel.
This kind of travel not only increases the disciples' knowledge, but also can exercise their abilities and temper their minds, and it is also a good opportunity for the elders to observe the disciples. In addition, it can also allow them to meet other sects and meet more like-minded people, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.
In fact, it is not only the Huangquan Sword Sect that is like this, but all the major sects attach importance to the fact that their disciples go out to travel.
Because in the early years, Xuan Ming and Yang Ren served together in the northern capital protectorate, fought side by side, jointly resisted the invasion of the northern barbarians, and relied on each other in life and death in the process of resisting foreign enemies, forming a deep friendship.
This time, he led the team out, and when he arrived in Chuzhou, he naturally wanted to meet his old friends.
When Xuanming arrived in Chuzhou, Yang Ren happened to take Gao Qing and Li Qi to Zhenhai Mansion, so Xuanming brought his disciples to Zhenhai Mansion, but he didn't want the five birds to secretly attack and stab Yang Ren in the name of visiting his senior brother.
At this moment, Liu Junbao rushed into the post station, followed by Chen Dalong and Liu Fu, and it was not until they entered the post station lobby that the three of them lowered their speed.
After Lin Zining was kidnapped by Gao Qing and Li Qi, at first everyone thought that since the two evil cultivators did not kill Lin Zining on the spot, they would definitely not kill him easily, and Lin Zining was the best at human relations.
But when Liu Junbao ran to the Zhenhai County Ya again and again, and got a reply again and again that when Yang Renyang, the inspector of the Chuzhou Baozhen Academy, arrived at Zhenhai Mansion and immediately pursued the evil cultivators, and asked him to go back and wait at home, everyone's hopes were disappointed again and again.
Later, the people in the Sihai Warehouse basically accepted the reality that Lin Zining could not come back, and when the officials in the yamen felt that Liu Junbao would not come to trouble them again, only Liu Junbao did not give up.
He not only went to Zhenhai County to ask for news, but also went to Zhenhai Mansion several times to ask for news, and in the end, Zhou Zikun, the magistrate of Zhenhai County. Wang Min, the prefect of Zhenhai Prefecture, was made miserable by this Liu Junbao, who didn't cry, make trouble, or make a sound, and called Liu Zhenping, the owner of the Sihai Warehouse, to the yamen several times to talk, hoping that Liu Zhenping would let his precious son stop looking for trouble.
However, even Liu Zhenping's persuasion was useless, but fortunately, just when everyone was about to collapse, Yang Ren, who had been waiting for a long time, finally arrived.
As soon as Yang Ren arrived in Zhenhai Mansion, Liu Junbao ran to the post station to ask for a meeting, and he really didn't delay at all.
When he heard Yang Ren say that he would go to hunt down Gao Qing on the second day of Zhenhai Mansion, Liu Junbao suddenly cried with joy and burst into tears, and even Yang Ren, a man who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help but be moved by Liu Junbao's sincerity.
When Yang Ren escorted Gao Qing and Li Qi back to Zhenhai Mansion, but Lin Zining was not seen, and there was no news of Lin Zining, Liu Junbao became a frequent visitor to the Zhenhai County Post Station again, and ran three or five times in a row, even when Yang Ren was secretly injured by the five birds, he was there.
This is the scene when Yang Ren was surprised when he saw Lin Zining, Xuan Ming was also moved by Liu Junbao's sincerity and perseverance, and he saw that Liu Junbao was talented, so he had the idea of accepting apprentices.
Since the establishment of the Huangquan Sword Sect, it has been an important force for the imperial court to resist the northern barbarians, so it pays special attention to the sincerity and perseverance of its disciples in terms of character, and attaches special importance to the actual combat and cooperation of its disciples in cultivation.
Therefore, every time the inner disciples of the Huangquan Sword Sect travel, the journey is up and down 100,000 miles, and the disciples are not allowed to fly in the clouds for a long time, so the tempering of the disciples under the sect is really not discounted at all.
Taking this trip as an example, Xuan Ming took his disciples south from Yongzhou, passing through Wuzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Qingzhou, Qinzhou, Bazhou, Zhenxi General's Mansion, Shuzhou, Xingyuanfu in the west, Shuzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Tanzhou, Hanzhou, Zhennanfu fifteen state capitals, and arrived in Chuzhou half a month ago.
After leaving Chuzhou, turn to Hongzhou in the southwest, go south to conquer the southern general's mansion, and then turn back from the east, go north to Ningzhou, enter Yuezhou, turn to Caizhou, and the southern capital Jiangning Mansion, and then transfer to Jiangzhou through Chenzhou, and then go from Yangzhou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Zhendong General's Mansion, pass through Shengzhou, Xinzhou into the eastern capital Luoyang Mansion, and then go straight through Jingzhou into Kyoto Jingzhao Mansion, out of Jingzhao Mansion through Bingzhou to the north, through Jinzhou, the northern capital Jinyang Mansion, Zhenbei General's Mansion, and finally return to Yongzhou.
Counting Yongzhou, a total of 37 state capitals, passing through one capital and four capitals, four towns and guards, and also climbing five mountains to cross the three major rivers of Tongtian River, Qinshui River and Jing River.
It can be said that it is precisely because the inner disciples of the Huangquan Sword Sect have traveled for the longest time and set foot in the widest territory that the disciples of the Huangquan Sword Sect have produced many talents and become important helpers in the empire to resist the invasion of the northern barbarians and defend the northern regions.
Liu Junbao can be recognized by Xuan Ming, and he will naturally have an opportunity in the future, which is also a gentleman's benevolence.
From full of hope to almost despair, and from disappointment to full of joy, Liu Junbao has experienced a lot in the past few days. When he heard the news that his senior brother Xu Qing had brought Lin Zining back with his master, others only felt unbelievable, but he felt that he should take it for granted.
But as it should be, Liu Junbao still couldn't help but be overjoyed, and without waiting for Xu Qing to finish speaking, he took Chen Dalong and Liu Fu straight to Zhenhai County Station.
When Liu Junbao arrived in the lobby, he saw Lin Zining, who was alive and well, and shouted excitedly: "Zining, Zining, is it really you?" ”
Shouting and shouting, without waiting for Lin Zining to speak, Liu Junbao's tears flowed.
When Lin Zining saw Liu Junbao's appearance, he quickly got up and walked to him, stretched out his hands, grabbed Liu Junbao's arms fiercely, and shook Liu Junbao's hands excitedly, saying, "It's me, it's me." Junbao, it's me! ”
Saying that, Lin Zining also had tears in his eyes.
The two asked and answered, not many words, but the friendship was deep.
In Lin Zining's memory, he cried only twice, once when he cried and called for his mother in a dream, and once when he left Qingxu Palace to say goodbye to Mr. Bai Yi.
Lin Zining's memory of himself before the age of twelve is vague, and he is not even sure that he was born in the seventeenth year of Cheng'an, he met Mr. Bai Yi in the twenty-ninth year of Cheng'an, when Mr. Bai Yi asked him how old he was, and he blurted out that he was twelve years old.
As for what his real name is, who his parents are, and why he followed Mr. Bai Yi, he doesn't know anything. There was no shadow or voice of his father in his memory, and as for his mother, all that was left was the constant repetition of the sentence in his dream, "A-Ning, A-Ning, do you remember me?" I'm your mother, are you okay? ”
Because in the dream he heard his mother call him "A-Ning" in the woods, his surname was Lin Zining.
Without the memory of his father, there is no memory of blood, his mother's memory is also minimal, and the memory of Lin Zining's life is also minimal.
In Lin Zining's memory, only Mr. Bai Yi can be relied on, it is he who saved himself from hanging by a thread, it is he who has worked hard to collect medicine and medicine for himself, it is he who taught himself the way of life and the method of self-cultivation, and it is he who bids farewell to himself with tears.
In order to survive, Lin Zining must be steady and cautious, and in order to survive, Lin Zining must be virtuous. But is it really fair to a fifteen-year-old child?
Three years have passed, and Lin Zining is almost getting used to his steady and cautious appearance, and he can't imagine that he will be able to weep today.
Lin Zining knew that Liu Junbao was very close to him, but he couldn't imagine that Liu Junbao, a child who was only fifteen and a half years old, would repeatedly go to the yamen to inquire for himself, and even went to the door to ask to see Yang Ren, a senior official of the fourth grade.
Looking at the picture of Lin Zining and Liu Junbao meeting, Yang Ren and Xuan Ming also sighed with emotion, they were also like these two young people, hugging and crying with the robes for the rest of their lives after the war.
Especially Yang Ren, he is different from Xuan Ming, Xuan Ming only assists the army to defend against foreign enemies, but Yang Ren is in the military. Unless it is a moment of crisis, the Protectorate of the Northern Capital will not easily mobilize the disciples of the Huangquan Sword Sect to the battlefield, so Xuan Ming's number of times on the battlefield is far less than that of Yang Ren.
When Yang Ren first arrived at the Northern Protectorate, he was a captain from the seventh grade, commanding 800 soldiers, and when he left the Northern Protectorate, he was already a military division of 25,000 people in the army who was responsible for training the military formation and presiding over the formation, second only to the main general and the supervising army, and was above the left and right deputy generals.
Once the success is done, Yang Ren is used to seeing life and death, and the beautiful young man who wandered in the southern capital Jiangning Mansion has long since become a tough man. But even he couldn't help but be moved when he saw the meeting between Lin Zining and Liu Junbao.
Beng Yunyao saw Wang Lecheng, who was steady and cautious, without the slightest panic and excitement, in Tawau, so she pinned her hopes for Tawau on him. However, the more stable and cautious a person is, the more elusive his mind becomes, because he thinks of everything you can think of, and the places you can't think of are often the places where he can kill you with one blow.
Beng Yunyao didn't know that Lin Zining used his own research on pharmacology and medicinal properties to forcibly change Gao Qing's illness from a cold qi that invaded the heart and kidneys to a disease that attacked the heart and heart. If you know this, you will definitely praise yourself for knowing people.
Beng Yunyao was originally a little wary of Lin Zining, afraid that she would be calculated by Lin Zining one day, but when she saw Lin Zining and Liu Junbao crying emotionally after seeing each other, a trace of vigilance hidden in her heart suddenly disappeared.
Only true temperament is a great husband. The meeting between Lin Zining and Liu Junbao made everyone see their true temperament, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
