Ye Jiu smiled and said, "That's what it means!" I also hope that Brother Mu and everyone will bring the little brother with them, and the little brother will definitely not hold everyone back. ”

Mu Guiding said: "It's okay, since you want to go to the border with us, it's okay, if you think about it, then go with us!" A good man should go away from home, aim to fight for the people and the country. ”

Ye Jiu was very happy when he heard this, and then Mu Guiding said: "Brothers, everyone tie these guys to the horse, and we will put them in the yamen at the next stop." ”

Soon the bandits were tied up, and then they were on the road, because the place where they were located was not far from the official gate, so they did not have horses.

Walking on the road, several soldiers told Ye Jiu about the border war.

In recent years, the war has almost never stopped, the border passes have been in emergency several times, and the surrounding people have also had a hard time.

Ye Jiu also told them about his failure in three scientific expeditions.

After hearing this, Mu Guiding said: "Brother Ye Jiu, since you can't pass the imperial examination, now you also choose to go to the border with us to join the army, and you will also go to the border to kill the enemy in the future, then you might as well abandon the civil and military forces." ”

Ye Jiudao: "I wanted to learn martial arts since I was a child, but they kept saying that I was weak and sickly, and I was not the material for learning martial arts, so I didn't do how to train my body, and slowly led my body to become weaker and weaker." ”

"In fact, nothing is innate, as long as there is unremitting effort, and the martial arts must not only have talent, but also perseverance, in order to go further, in order to see the light."

After hearing this, Ye Jiu said, "Brother Mu, you teach me to practice martial arts!" I can endure no matter how hard it is, and when I learn well, I can go to war with you. ”

Mu Guiding smiled: "Okay! As long as you can endure hardships, start from the most basic foundation, and stick to training every day, your body will become stronger and stronger. ”

Ye Jiu asked again: "Then what level is the martial arts you are now, and what level have you reached?" ”

Mu Guiding shook his head and said in shame; "I've been practicing for twenty-five or six years, and I'm only in the late stage of purification. In fact, my talent is also very poor, but fortunately, I have worked harder over the years, and I have been honing on the battlefield for more than ten years, so I have the current ability, mainly because I was injured on the battlefield a year ago, and now it is difficult to go further. ”

Ye Jiudao: "Aren't most of the people in the army who join the army all cultivators? ”

Mu Guiding shook his head and said, "Some people are, but most of them are not, although they are not cultivators, but they are all young and strong people, so you have to work hard!" It's not easy to keep up with them. ”

Ye Jiudao: "I will, I will definitely work hard to become stronger." ”

Several people walked together, and after most of the day, they finally came to the nearest county office.

A few people stayed in the county government for a while, and after they gave a few bandits to the county order, they found a horse in the yamen and gave it to Ye Jiu and began to set off.

At the beginning, Ye Jiu was a little shadowy about horseback riding because of the horse racing incident in the Mujia Racecourse in Kyoto before, and he was also afraid of riding horses, so he rode very slowly, and Mu Guiding and the others also slowed down and waited for Ye Jiu, and walked slowly like this for three days.

Ye Jiu's courage also increased, his riding skills finally improved a lot, and his speed slowly increased.

Mu Guiding saw that Ye Jiu had gone from not daring to get on the horse at the beginning to now riding faster and faster.

smiled slightly: "Not bad, not bad, great progress." ”

Ye Jiu said: "A good man is born in heaven and earth, so he should be free to run the rivers and lakes with one person and one sword." ”

After hearing this, several people laughed and said: "It's a good one, one person, one knife, and the rivers and lakes are free." ”

"Well... The big husband should be like this. ”
