Jacob and Lohuy accompanied Taihao to the courtyard of the castle, where there were about a hundred soldiers, and the soldiers stood in four rows waiting for the new owner of the castle to speak.

Tai Hao walked slowly towards the soldiers, his gaze scanning the faces of each soldier, looking extremely serious. He stopped in front of them and began to speak.

"Everyone has already learned about the official's seventh uncle, oh...... That is, the owner of this castle, Yi Si, was killed by bandits and has passed away. From this day on, I will be the new owner of this castle, my name is Tai Hao, and I hope that every soldier will serve the castle and its people honestly and bravely. ”

The soldiers replied in unison: "Yes!" ”

Tai Hao continued: "I believe that the previous owner of the castle, Yi Si, was a man of insight during his lifetime, and he made this castle prosperous and prosperous, and I will continue to carry on his legacy and continue to make this castle full of life and vitality." But I need the strength of each and every one of your soldiers to achieve this goal, so I hope that you will do your best and do your duty to defend this castle and protect the people here, and at the same time you must be honest and disciplined, and strictly enforce the laws of the Tibetan Kingdom. After a pause, he continued: "In this castle, there is no free threat or harm between soldiers and soldiers, between soldiers and stewards, and between soldiers and masters, and every soldier is not allowed to engage in illegal acts. If you violate these rules, you are betraying your country and me, the new owner of the castle! After Tai Hao finished speaking, all the soldiers nodded silently, indicating that they would definitely abide by his rules. They knew that behind the carefully worded words, there was such solemnity and seriousness.

Jacob Cidan and Lohuu stood on either side of Taihao, silently observing. Tai Hao looked at them and continued: "Due to the busy official duties, if the official is not in the castle one day, the steward Jacob will take my place and exercise all the rights of the master. When the time comes...... Lochew will exercise all the rights of steward. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the soldiers began to whisper and discuss.

Tai Hao watched the reactions of the soldiers, a little worried in his heart. He feared that the soldiers would be upset because of Lohew's status. He knew that Luo Xiu was just an ordinary teenager, and his identity was a citizen of the Eastern Empire.

Tai Hao cleared his throat and said loudly: "I'm sure that Luo Xiu will become an excellent butler, in fact, he is now an apprentice of this official, and this official will pass on his martial arts to him, so that he can better protect our castle." ”

Tai Hao's words made the chatter of the soldiers gradually disappear, and they began to listen to Tai Hao's speech silently. Tai Hao continued: "Luo Xiu is not an ordinary soldier who can be easily ignored in this castle, he has his ability and value. Ben Guan believes that with his help, we can better protect this castle and the people here, and at the same time, we can also inherit the legacy of Uncle Yi Si. ”

Tai Hao's words caused the soldiers to start re-examining Luo Xiu, and they began to seriously think about Luo Xiu's identity and abilities. In the end, the soldiers in the castle accepted Taihao's words, and in the eyes of the soldiers, after all, the real owners of the castle were Taihao, Jacob and Luo Xiu, but when Taihao was away, they temporarily replaced Taihao to manage all the affairs in the castle.

Neither Jacob nor Lo Hue thought that Tai Hao would come up with such a solution. This method can not only stabilize the safety of the castle, but also allow Taihao to leave and return to the Eastern Empire as soon as possible.

Taihao finally made a decision and announced to the soldiers in public:

"This castle has always been called 'temple' in the mouth of the people, there is no real name, and the official has chosen a name for this castle today, and it is called 'Castle of Ease'. It is named after my seventh uncle, Yi Si, to pay tribute to my seventh uncle's spirit in the sky. ”

The soldiers shouted in unison, "Castle of Easy! Castle of Easy! Castle of Easy! ”

The shouts resounded through the sky, breaking through the sky, making this ancient castle instantly add a bit of vitality.

At dusk that day, Tai Hao called Luo Xiu to the martial arts training room, and said to Luo Xiu: "You are not strong enough now, so I can't teach you "Idle Cats Listening to the Sea", I will teach you the "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow" that my master taught me, I will live in this castle for a few more days, teach you a trick every day, and how much you can learn depends on your own ability." ”

Luo Xiu hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, Master, the apprentice will definitely study hard and will not let Master down." ”

Having said that, as the first volume of martial arts cheats of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill", "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow" is not something that anyone can practice, and it must be a person with a high understanding of martial arts to be able to practice it quickly, Taihao's master Yuan Shi did not teach "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow" to the other three apprentices The reason why the three of them did not have enough understanding of martial arts. Taihao thought at first that comprehension was a mysterious thing, and he didn't have to care too much, as long as he memorized the moves and routines and practiced diligently, he could quickly master them, but it can be seen that he was thinking too simply.

Taihao first taught Luo Xiu the fist clenching posture of each move of "Snow Cat Fluttering", and Luo Xiu quickly learned it. Then, Tai Hao began to play the first move of "Snow Cat Fluttering" "Chasing the Wind and Catching the Shadow", and then broke down this move, and let Luo Xiu learn it step by step, but Luo Xiu's speed was very slow, Tai Hao could only let him write down the accurate moves first, and then practice slowly.

On the second day, Tai Hao began to teach Luo Xiu the second trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow", "Dark Fragrance and Sparse Shadow", and asked him to review the first trick he taught yesterday, "Chasing the Wind and Catching Shadows", but Luo Xiu forgot all about it. Under Taihao's demonstration, he barely played a complete set of moves.

Tai Hao didn't get angry because of this, he would encourage Luo Xiu instead: "Take your time, martial arts can't be learned in a day, it all depends on daily practice after that." ”

In the days that followed, Tai Hao no longer asked Luo Xiu to review what he had learned before, and taught new moves every day, intending to let him understand the differences in the moves first. On the third day, Taihao began to teach Luo Xiu the third trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering" "insinuation"; On the fourth day, Taihao began to teach Luo Xiu the fourth trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering"; On the fifth day, Taihao began to teach Luo Xiu the fifth trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering" "Follow the Shadow"; On the sixth day, Taihao began to teach Luo Xiu the sixth trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering" "Barking with the Sound"; On the seventh day, Taihao began to teach Luo Xiu the seventh trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering" "Cup Bow Snake Shadow"; On the eighth day, Taihao began to teach Luo Xiu the eighth trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering", "Ji Ji Gu Ying"; On the ninth day, Taihao began to teach Luo Xiu the ninth trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering" "Nothing".

The nine moves in "Snow Cat Fluttering" have been taught, how much has Luo Xiu memorized? Each move Tai Hao disassembles the movements in great detail, but Luo Xiu may have a really poor understanding of martial arts, and always learns the next move and forgets the previous move.

Luo Xiu's confidence in learning martial arts was repeatedly suppressed, and when Tai Hao taught him all the moves, he said to Tai Hao with a sad face: "Master, do you think I'm very stupid and stupid, I can't even learn a single move." ”

Tai Hao comforted: "You are not stupid, you just have not yet reached the comprehension of martial arts, and when you become enlightened one day, you will be able to watch these martial arts moves once." ”

Luo Xiu didn't speak, and Taihao was determined to teach him "Snow Cat Fluttering", and just like that, Taihao stayed in the castle for another month.

Although Luo Xiu practiced hard every day, he had little effect, and could only play the first three moves smoothly, and the fourth move could barely be completed under Taihao's reminder. But from the fifth to the ninth move, he had already forgotten everything.

Taihao felt that he could no longer live in Tibet, and he had to set off for the Eastern Empire immediately. He said to Luo Xiu: "Luo Xiu, you have learned the first three tricks, it is enough to protect this castle, there are still important things to do to return to the Eastern Empire, so you can't stay here for a long time." You have to remember that you must practice more every day. ”

Luo Xiu nodded and responded, "How the apprentice doesn't want Master to leave like this, but ......"

Tai Hao saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and knew the meaning of his words. So, he continued: "Don't worry, protect this castle here, your grandfather and aunt's revenge will be avenged for you." ”

Luo Xiu couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard this, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Taihao three times in a row. Tai Hao was stunned by this scene, hurriedly pulled Luo Xiu up, and said to him: "Luo Xiu, what are you doing, I promised you what the teacher promised, and I will definitely do what I say." ”

Luo Xiu choked up and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely practice martial arts, protect this castle, and wait for Master to come back." ”

On the last night after leaving the "Yi Si Castle", Tai Hao reviewed "Idle Cat Listening to the Sea" three times in succession in the martial arts training room, and decided to leave the cheats in the castle because he was worried that the cheats of "Idle Cats Listening to the Sea" would not be safe on him. But where is the right place to hide? Eventually, he decided to hide the secret book behind a plaque hanging on the wall of his room. The plaque was about six feet long and two feet wide, and it was densely covered with Tibetan characters, which Taihao did not recognize, and it looked like a Buddhist scripture or a very long poem. Fearing that the room would be rearranged after he left, Tai Hao went to Jacob and said to him, "I will leave here to-morrow, and for the day I leave the castle, everything in my room will remain untouched, and it will remain as it is, including the patterns and plaques that are attached to the walls." ”

Accord nodded in agreement, and ordered all the soldiers in the castle not to set foot in the master's room.

Early the next morning, Taihao left the "Yisi Castle", and Ben Lobsang Deji of the Pibo City also rushed to see Taihao off when he heard the news. Lobsang Deji took out a "customs clearance post" and handed it to Tai Hao, and said to him: "Lord Taihao, Pibo City is still far away from the Eastern Empire, from here all the way to the east, you will pass through more than a dozen cities, large and small, this official wrote a 'customs clearance post', each city can be shown to the local officials, these officials in the city have worked with this official, they know that you are an official from the Eastern Empire, they will be entertained." ”

Taihao didn't expect that this place was still so far away from the Eastern Empire. The Tubo Kingdom is on high ground and the air is thin, so I don't know how many days it takes to walk so far, even if I ride a thousand-mile horse, I have to stop many times. He received the "clearance post" from Lobsang Degui and thanked him.

Lobsang Deji continued: "We have trade with nearby cities, and today there happens to be a caravan going to Gongbu City, which is a necessary place on the way to the Eastern Empire, and Lord Taihao can go with the caravan, and they can also take care of each other on the way. ”

Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "This is very good, the road is far away, and there can be someone to talk and relieve boredom on the road, then it is really unbelievable, dare to ask where the caravan is now?" ”

Lobsang Deji said: "They should have assembled outside the city at this time, and this official will go with you, so that he may be able to catch up with them." ”
