Chapter 12: The Daimyo's Mansion Accepts Disciples

At noon on this day, the wind was mild, and the passenger ship marched to the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion.

After several days of difficult sailing, the boatman needed to replenish some daily necessities and supplies, the boatman needed to relax, and the guests were a little bored on the ship, so the passenger ship docked at the Daimyo Fuwei River Wharf, where sailing ships gathered, and the boatman decided to rest for a day and a night before leaving.

The boatmen who stayed behind to guard the passenger ship, everyone abandoned the boat in twos and threes, and Wu Zhi, Xiao'e, Pan Wei and Wang Er, and their four people also followed everyone to get off the boat and board the shore.

I saw that on the Weihe wharf, the cars, horses and boats were touching the earth, pedestrians and businessmen were rubbing shoulders one after another, the green shade was green, and the shops and wine shops on both sides of the market were lined up one after another, bustling, and the voices of the people were boiling, which was a prosperous scene! It is worthy of being the mansion of the great name and the accompanying capital of the Song Dynasty.

In the north, there are both "outer cities" and "palace cities", although the perimeter of the outer city is not as long as eighty miles in the Tang Dynasty, but there are as many as forty-eight miles; Miyagi, three miles in a week, was built quite majestically and magnificently. The Daimyo's Mansion can be described as a dangerous city, the trench is wide and deep, the drum tower is magnificent, the characters are prosperous, there are thousands of dancing pavilions and song platforms, and tens of thousands of Lin Palaces and Fanyu.

Wu Zhi and his entourage of four people walked and stopped with great interest, and walked around and watched the flowers. From time to time, there are brocade-clothed buddies riding tall horses passing through the street, beautiful ladies in sedan chairs walking together, and the shouts and shouts of various vendors are endless. At this time, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, it was the time to eat, and the restaurant and tea shop were full of people coming in and out, and the tempting food was fragrant.

The four of them walked a little tired, looked up and saw that there was a Wangjiang restaurant in front, the plaque of the building was written with three gilded characters of "Drunken Immortal Building", the freehand was extraordinary, the building was two floors high, it was scattered, it was very simple, the shop in front of the building was busy beckoning guests to come in and out. So Wu Zhi led everyone into the building, and he decided to have lunch in this building and rest.

The hall on the first floor of the "Drunken Immortal Building" is bustling with customers, and most of the tables are almost full of people, which is a bit noisy. The four of them walked into the restaurant under the beckoning of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately looked at their outfits, estimated their identities, and saw Pan Weijinyi, Wu Zhi handsome, Xiao'e Jiaoli, and servants with them, who seemed to be from extraordinary backgrounds, so they hurriedly instructed the shopkeeper to lead them to the second floor and eat in the private seat.

When I went up to the second floor, I saw that the floor was quite large, with four guest tables, and the other three guest tables were already surrounded by guests, and there was still one empty table. After sitting around the table, Wu Zhi found that Pan Wei's servant Wang Er was standing behind Pan Wei stiffly, he frowned, and then asked him to sit down and eat together. Wang Ercheng lowered his eyebrows and looked at Pan Wei in fear after hearing this, Pan Wei also looked at Wu Zhi in confusion, and saw that Wu Zhi insisted, so he had to order Wang Er to sit down, his face was a little surprised and embarrassed.

"Childe, isn't that good?" Wang Er was still panicking, standing tremblingly, looking at Wu Zhi with a face full of surprise and gratitude, he was older than Wu Zhi, estimated to be in his twenties, and he was still relatively capable, not so rough.

"If you are told to sit down, you will sit down! Don't talk nonsense! Eat together! Wu Zhi waved his hand impatiently and said, ignoring them anymore, ordering a few signature dishes, and telling the shopkeeper to serve the food quickly, while listening to the guests at the next table talking, while waiting. Wang Er had no choice but to sit down a little cramped.

The guest at the table next to him spoke a little loudly, and the words "Han Zhongyan" and "Han Zhi" floated into his ears. "Han Zhongyan?" He felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it all at once.

Pan Wei paid for a treat. After a while, the meal was ready, and Wu Zhi beckoned everyone to feast. At first, Wang Er was still a little restrained, but Wu Zhi smiled and used Wang Er's chopsticks to clip some vegetables to him, so he could eat with confidence. In this regard, Xiao'e was not surprised, while Pan Wei's eyes widened, he didn't understand why Wu Zhi was so polite and easy-going to his subordinates. They don't drink when they're out and about, so they don't ask for drinks.

After eating, they were continuing to sit at the table to rest and chat, when they suddenly heard a shouting voice from downstairs: "Suo Chao, you little rabbit, do you still want to run?" Then there were bursts of shouting and scolding, accompanied by bursts of cries.

"Suo Chao?" Wu Zhi's heart moved, and he hurriedly walked to the window of the building to look down, only to see that on the street downstairs, a group of people were gathered together, and the four evil slaves in the middle were fighting against a sturdy young man about fourteen or fifteen years old. The young man is good, with a crowd of enemies, he is not afraid, there are three evil slaves lying next to him, with a blue nose and swollen face, and the young man is also knocked to the ground by them from time to time, but he stubbornly gets up, behind him, is struggling to protect a plump and soft young woman, the young woman is crying in panic. Behind the evil slave, there was a boy in brocade who was shouting, commanding the house slave with a lewd smile on his face. It seems that this son has fallen in love with that beautiful young woman, and if he doesn't do it, he will be angry and angry, and he will hurt people.

There were more and more crowds of onlookers, but no one dared to step forward to interfere, they were probably very jealous of this boy and his evil slaves.

Wu Zhi saw that the situation of the teenager was getting worse and worse, and he didn't have time to say hello to Xiao'e and the others, so he quickly rushed downstairs, ran out of the door, and rushed towards the crowd.

Squeezing through the crowd, Wu Zhi saw that the young man had been tightly pressed to the ground by two evil slaves, he decided to capture the thief and capture the king first, and stepped forward with an arrow, immediately grabbed the boy in brocade, wrapped his neck, and shouted: "Stop me!" ”

Then he tightened his arms again, and the brocade-clothed boy who was stuck was breathing rapidly, screaming and screaming, and his face turned pale. Suddenly, all the evil slaves were stunned and stopped their movements and looked at him viciously.

"Let him go!" Wu Zhi pointed at the young man and shouted angrily at the boy in brocade.

"Put! Put! The boy in brocade was so frightened that he nodded and agreed.

The two evil slaves could only let go of the boy and turned around towards Wu Zhi. The beautiful young woman cried and helped the boy up, and the boy's face was covered with blood. The young man was very strong, and while comforting the frightened beautiful young woman, he looked at Wu Zhi worriedly and gratefully, he was worried about whether the big brother in front of him who was a little white and tender could handle it.

"Where's the kid? Have you eaten the bear's heart leopard gall? Dare to take care of our young master Han's affairs? The evil slaves gathered around, and at the same time, they were still shouting and shouting, their faces were relaxed, and they didn't care, as if it was not their son who was caught in their hands but Wu Zhi.

"Which Young Master Han?" Wu Zhi was a little confused, and asked with a smile, the hostage is in hand, these evil slaves are not afraid of him! It's a little interesting, are these people arrogant and domineering on weekdays?

"Hahaha! It's funny! Is this kid's feelings strong before he understands the situation? All the evil slaves burst out laughing, and they thought they had seen the funniest thing in the world.

"This is Han so, the eldest grandson of Master Park Chung-yeon, the prefect of Han! Let go of our son, or you won't be able to eat and walk around! The evil slaves shouted in an arrogant tone.

"Han Zhongyan?" Wu Zhi was stunned and thought for a moment, oh, it turned out to be him! He suddenly remembered someone: Han Zhongyan, the character master Park, the son of former Prime Minister Han Qi, was demoted to the Daimyo Mansion to be the prefect. But the degraded person, what is he afraid of?

"Good! I let him go! Wu Zhi chuckled and finished speaking, let go of Han Xiu, and stepped aside, seeing that they had already let go of the young man, he didn't want to go too far, and he didn't want to make a feud.

When Han Xiu saw Wu Zhi let go of him when he heard this, he thought he was afraid, so he took a step back and viciously shouted at the slaves and ordered: "Catch him and beat me hard!" ”

Hearing this, the two evil slaves jumped up, trying to catch Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi smiled coldly in his heart, and then quickly gathered momentum and moved forward, kicking them to the ground one by one, clean and chic. The crowd of onlookers suddenly let out a burst of exclamations.

Han Xiu and the rest of the evil slaves were stunned for a moment, they couldn't imagine that this seemingly weak scholar would dare to hurt people!

"Hit! Hit him! Han Xiu shouted again, angry.

The remaining minions immediately rushed towards him.

But Wu Zhi did not retreat but advanced, saying that it was too late and that was fast, and he unleashed the boxing skills taught by Zhou Tong, like a rabbit, opening the bow left and right, punching and kicking in the east and west, and knocked everyone to the ground in a moment, and all the evil slaves lay on the ground crying and calling their mothers. The crowd of onlookers couldn't help but burst into cheers.

After dealing with these evil slaves, he quickly grabbed Han Xiu again, grabbed his neck with one hand, and said with a sneer: "Master Han, why don't we also come to compete?" At the same time, he shaved his face.

Han Xiu's face turned even paler with fright this time, and he was terrified and told him again and again: "Son, spare your life!" Spare your life! Don't dare! Don't dare! ”

"You can spare them, but you can't harass them in the future! Otherwise, I'll hit you once I see you! Do you hear that? Wu Zhi pointed at Suo Chao and threatened him, the wicked only have the wicked to grind, and the wicked will be afraid to converge.

After hearing this, Han Xiu nodded again and again like a chicken pecking at it to make a guarantee. Just kidding, what should I do if I don't bow my head and promise, my life is still in the hands of others! I promised it first, and then I would have a chance to get it back later. That's what he thinks in his heart, and as for whether he can get back face, I'll talk about it later.

Wu Zhi knew that this Han Xiu probably wouldn't just give up, but his purpose was just to save the young man and the beautiful young woman, and he didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he let him go, and in the laughter of everyone, after watching him and the evil slaves run away in embarrassment, he walked over and helped up the young man and the beautiful young woman who were kneeling on the ground.

The two are grateful to Wu Zhi for his kindness, but at the same time they are uneasy, they thank Wu Zhi for saving his life, but they are also worried that it will bring disaster to his benefactor. After all, in this famous mansion, the Han family is the law and the sky, and Suo Chao and the others are ants in the eyes of the lawless Han Dagongzi, and their arms can't twist their thighs.

After standing up, the young man looked at Wu Zhi with a face full of admiration. He couldn't have imagined that this big brother who seemed to be a weak scholar was so powerful, and he beat those evil slaves down with three punches and two kicks, and it was clean and neat, and it seemed to be effortless.

During this period, Xiao'e, Pan Wei and Wang Er have already followed. They witnessed all this, Xiao'e was okay, she knew that her eldest brother was very powerful, but Pan Wei and Wang Er were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Wu Zhi to be so powerful, he could be good at martial arts! Wu Zhi is becoming more and more mysterious and unfathomable in their hearts.

Good people do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Wu Zhi checked the boy and found that he was only slightly injured, so he took him to the drugstore on the side of the road, and after the barefoot Langzhong in the medicine shop took some treatment and took some medicine, he sent the boy and the beautiful young woman back to their residence with Xiao'e, Pan Wei, and Wang Er.

In fact, this young man's home is not far away, in Suojia Lane in the eastern neighborhood of the city, a few miles away.

After introduction, Wu Zhi finally confirmed that this young man was Suo Chao, a person from the Daimyo Mansion, who was now nearly fifteen years old, and his father Suo Yanqing was a fast catcher, and he was not at home today. He passed on martial arts to his family, and his kung fu was taught by his father. The beautiful young woman is his mother, Yang, who is also a member of the Daimyo's Mansion.

At the beginning of today, their mother and son went out to visit relatives, who knew that when they returned at noon, they happened to meet Han Xiu and his party on the road, Han Xiu saw that Yang's beauty was like a flower, and his thoughts suddenly rose, so he stepped forward to tease her, and was stopped by Suo Chao, and Han Xiu, who was embarrassed and angry, commanded all the house slaves, and chased and killed the two of them all the way to the drunken fairy building, fortunately they were saved by Wu Zhi, otherwise a catastrophe would come.

After Suo Chao and the Yang family figured out Wu Zhi's identity, they were indescribably grateful for his righteous deeds, and thanked him again.

Suo Chao was very envious when he saw Wu Zhi's outstanding martial arts, and as soon as his mind moved, he simply wanted to worship Wu Zhi as a teacher. Wu Zhi wanted to excuse himself, but after thinking about it, he agreed to his request, burned incense and kowtowed, and accepted him as an apprentice.

Suo Chao, in the future, he will also be a powerful character, the general of the famous mansion in the northern part of the Song Dynasty, the brave champion of the three armies, and he is famous. Wu Zhi has picked up a treasure, can you not agree?

While there was still time, Wu Zhi spent half a day of hard work and taught Suo Chao the boxing skills that Zhou Tong taught him one by one. At the same time, he told him that when he saw Han Xiu in the future, he would take a detour and not be reckless, and at the same time told him that he could go to the capital to find him if he had anything to do in the future. After the explanation, Wu Zhi and his entourage said goodbye to the two of them reluctantly.

Walking in the market, it was getting late, and the lanterns were on, Wu Zhi and his party found a small restaurant, Wu Zhi paid the bill, and invited everyone to have a sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, the people walked around the market, and after buying something, they returned to the passenger ship without further delay, and stayed on board to wait for the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun rose in the east, and the passenger ship began to set off slowly again.

After the passenger ship sailed out of the Daimyo's Mansion, Wu Zhi put down a hanging heart, he thought that Han Xiu might come back to him for trouble because he was unwilling, but now he had nothing to do all night and couldn't afford to make a disturbance.

Has this kid become honest? Wu Zhi later learned that it turned out that Han Zhongyan was furious when he heard about this, and in order to eliminate the impact, he grounded Han Xiu for a month! It seems that Han Zhongyan is still a relatively upright person.
