After returning from the New Year's greetings at the single family.

A month and a half passed.

Wei Tu received a wedding card from Shan Yangong's concubine.

After Wei Tu saw that the address of the wedding card was in the single house in Fucheng, he couldn't help but sigh secretly that Shan Min's methods were clever, and he didn't know how he persuaded Shan Yangong's wife to agree to let Shan Yangong take a concubine.

During the months he spent staying in Shan Fang's house last year, he knew that although Shan Yangong's wife seemed to have a weak temperament and was not as spicy as Shan Fang, she was also strong in her bones.

Otherwise, Shan Yangong would not have dragged on until now, and only accepted a concubine room.

"Coincidentally, it just so happened that the eldest brother Kou Liang sent a letter, asking me and Wei Fei to go to Xuanhe Building for a party and relive the old relationship......"

Wei Tu glanced at the date of the wedding card and thought secretly.

Nearly a year has passed, and as Fu Zhizhou said in the government, it is time for He Zhifu to be transferred.

In the past few days, the county government has spread this gossip all over the place.

Wei Tu guessed that Kou Liang's letter brought the four brothers together, presumably to discuss the matter.

Wei Tu found Wei Fei, and the two agreed on a time together to go to Fucheng together.

……

A few days later.

Xuanhe Building, Tianzi No. 3 room.

"Second brother, third brother." Kou Liang heard the conversation between Wei Tu and Wei Fei, and took the initiative to go out to greet him.

He smiled, patted Wei Tu and the two on the shoulder, and exchanged a few words.

"Big brother."

Wei Tu and Wei Fei glanced at each other, bowed slightly, and saluted Kou Liang with a fist.

More than a year has passed, Kou Liang has not changed much, he is dressed in a white power suit, tall and broad, and heroic.

But Wei Tu and Wei Fei noticed a trace of twilight inadvertently revealed between Kou Liang's eyebrows, that depressed atmosphere.

The two immediately understood in their hearts that Kou Liang, like them, was also suppressed by the local government of Xiaoyi Mansion.

It's just that compared to the two of them huddling together for warmth and helping each other in the same boat, Kou Liang is undoubtedly much lonelier.

"Where's the fourth brother?" Wei Fei walked into the box, glanced at it, and saw that there was no trace of Fu Zhizhou, so he couldn't help frowning.

Along.

He and Wei Tu were almost non-stop, so they arrived at Xuanhe Building in advance before the appointed hour.

Since Fu Zhizhou was the fourth brother at the time of worship, there was no reason to let the three sworn brothers wait for a long time, and he was late.

"The fourth brother has been appreciated by Governor Wang, and now he is the guard by his side, and he is not idle in ordinary times, you and I will wait."

Kou Liang sat on the stool, shook his head, and explained.

"Second brother, drink first to quench your thirst."

Wei Tu also sat on the stool, he made a look, and motioned to Wei Fei not to be in a hurry and wait with peace of mind.

He knew the reason for Wei Fei's impatience.

Since receiving the first letter from Fu Zhizhou, the two of them have not received a second letter from Fu Zhizhou for more than half a year.

Fu Zhizhou...... It's like forgetting the covenant that day was formed, forgetting their two righteous brothers.

The three waited patiently.

Xuanhelou's shopkeeper served one pot after another pot of wine.

Until the evening—

Outside the door, there was a soft crunch of scales colliding.

After hearing this sound, the three people in the box unanimously raised their eyes and looked at the door, and finally saw Fu Zhizhou, who had been delayed for a long time.

Fu Zhizhou was dressed in bright silver armor and wore a red tasseled hood, looking majestic and quite a general.

Compared with the three people in the box, the gap is clear at a glance.

The former is proud, the latter is frustrated.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother......"

Fu Zhizhou took off his armor, revealing his dark black underwear, hugged his fists at the three of Wei Tu, and bowed, with a respectful attitude, without any arrogance.

Seeing this, the three of Wei Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to accept this fourth brother who "flew first" again in their hearts.

The four of them said hello separately.

At this time, Kou Liang instructed the long-awaited Xuanhelou guys to serve food and warm wine.

"Youlao's three righteous brothers have been waiting for a long time, and the younger brother has been in the governor's mansion for a long time because he received an envoy......

"For the sake of secrecy, the younger brother doesn't dare to send someone to deliver the letter, so if there is any neglect of the three righteous brothers, don't blame it."

Fu Zhizhou seemed to see the thoughts of the three Weitu, and took the initiative to tell the reason why he had snubbed the three of them for most of the past six months.

"Messenger?" When Kou Liang heard these two words, his heart moved, and he looked at Fu Zhizhou's gaze with an inquiring look.

If it was just the military attache of the Janissary Guard of the Governor's Mansion, Fu Zhizhou would not have reached the point of "cutting off contact" with the three of them.

"Since the eldest brother asked, then I, as the fourth brother, will speak bluntly."

"I just hope that after the three righteous brothers know, they won't spread the word."

Fu Zhizhou thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said.

- He knew that if he didn't make it clear today, the four of them would definitely go their separate ways after this feast.

In terms of brotherhood, Fu Zhizhou felt that he had not yet reached the point of life and death with Wei Tu, but since he had made an alliance, he made a blood alliance and became brothers......

Then we should live and die together!

Affection...... It can be cultivated slowly in the future.

"If the fourth brother has something unspeakable, he can choose to hide it, and he doesn't have to be himself......"

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu hurriedly spoke to stop it, he knew that sometimes knowing too much was not a good thing.

He didn't want to suffer an unwarranted disaster and lead to death.

"That's what the third brother said."

"If the fourth brother has something unspeakable, he doesn't have to tell us."

When Kou Liang and Wei Fei heard this, they immediately understood the meaning of Wei Tu's words, and nodded again and again.

If the secret is leaked, the innate martial artist uses the spiritual secret method, and when dealing with the aftermath, it will only stop at Fu Zhizhou alone.

Hearing this, Fu Zhizhou shook his head and explained: "This matter is closely related to the future of the three righteous brothers, if you don't know this information, you will inevitably be at a loss in the future." ”

"Moreover, with my current status, as long as the three righteous brothers keep it secret and don't talk nonsense, the government will not easily pursue me."

The voice fell.

Wei Tu and the three looked at each other, and finally agreed with Fu Zhizhou to tell the "secret" he knew.

"Last year, the four of us and the others fought against He Zhifu because of the incident of Wuyunlou, so they formed a righteous society, made an alliance with blood, and agreed to support them together in the future, and make an appointment to advance and retreat."

"The secret thing that the younger brother wants to say is also related to this martial arts building."

"Governor Wang agreed that last year, Governor He sent Wu Xiucai to Wuyunlou to go undercover, this is just a clear move, a real secret chess, Governor Wang has already laid ......"

"Just wait for the day when Wu Yunlou commits a crime and closes the net......"

"At that time, Shannan Dao should mobilize local troops to attack Wuyunlou together, and the three brothers, who are strong in martial arts, are also within the scope of recruitment."

"Governor Wang's janissaries are the elite force that attacked Wuyun Tower this time."

"And at this point in time, it will be three or four months soon, and one or two years later."

Fu Zhizhou said slowly.

"Attack the Wuyun Building?"

This information fell in the ears of the three Weitu, and they were not unfamiliar.

As early as last year, they expected that the government would inevitably attack Wuyunlou, which was a ship that was about to sink.

But they didn't expect that Governor Wang would attack Wuyunlou and pull in the local army.

What the local box army looks like, Wei Tu and the others know best, almost all of them are some peddlers and pawns, and if they encounter a strong enemy, they will definitely collapse at the touch of a button.

The local box army was requisitioned, and they, the military attachés of the box army, would definitely not be able to escape.

"This is the opportunity I am waiting for to make meritorious contributions, if I return to the county seat and train my soldiers diligently, I may be able to win a chance to become an official and become a knight."

Kou Liang and Wei Fei were full of fighting spirit and were very optimistic.

And in contrast.

Wei Tu was a little worried.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, he doesn't want to get involved in the battlefield lightly, after all, swords and guns don't have long eyes, and it will not be good to die on the battlefield when the time comes.

"The three righteous brothers, after knowing the news, go back to secretly train the soldiers, buy fine armor, and wait until the war is together, and they will definitely make contributions."

Fu Zhizhou said with a smile.

Providing this information can be regarded as keeping his promise last year, and when he finds an opportunity, he will bring Wei Tu and the three of them with him.

"Thank you, fourth brother."

Wei Tu sighed secretly, restrained his good mood, and thanked Fu Zhizhou with Kou Liang and Wei Fei.

He is a "military envoy of the capital", although he has a few soldiers, but he is not an army, and he has nothing to do with training soldiers.

This achievement has little to do with him.

"But knowing this information in advance is a good thing for me, I can prepare my fine armor, and on the battlefield, I can save my life at a critical time......"

Wei Tu thought secretly.

Half an hour later.

Fu Zhizhou put on a bright silver armor, apologized, walked out of the box door, left the Xuanhe Building, and returned to the governor's mansion to be on duty.

Subsequently.

The three of them also left the scene one by one.

……

Back to the single house in Fucheng.

Wei Tu stayed for two or three days, and after the wedding banquet of Shan Yangong's concubine was over, he and Wei Fei returned to Qingshan County.

After returning to the county seat.

This time, Wei Tu didn't stick to borrowing money and owing favors, and for a set of fine armor, he found Wei Fei and borrowed fifty taels of silver from him.

Then, Wei Tu found the Huang family again, wrote an IOU, and borrowed thirty taels of silver from his second aunt Wei Hong.

A total of eighty taels of silver.

Wei Tu sent the money to the vanguard's shop and asked the blacksmith to make him a well-defended armor.

Time passes slowly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-sixth year of Qing'an.

this year.

It was the fifth year of Wei Tu's cultivation of "Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong".

In the small courtyard, after Wei Tu practiced the twelfth pile gong of health preservation, he suddenly felt a trace of free breath in the meridians.

These free breaths are completely different from the warm currents that gushed out of the body when practicing pile gong in the past.

He seemed to be able to control these wandering breaths out of the meridians and into the outside of his body with his mind.

Seeing this, Wei Tu still doesn't understand.

He finally borrowed health maintenance skills to practice his first wisp of internal qi from the outside to the inside.

Thinking of this, Wei Tu immediately immersed his mind in his "late bloomer" life grid, to observe the changes in the handwriting on this golden and purple life grid.

"Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong (100/100): Nine exercises a day, five years to achieve."

"It's done!"

"This time, not only did I enter the realm of emotion five years ago, but also before the government attacked the Wuyun Building, and I successfully improved my strength by a large ......"

Wei Tu's face was beaming.

He clearly remembered that he practiced health preservation in the late autumn of the twenty-first year of Qing'an, and at this moment he entered the realm of feeling qi in the summer of the twenty-sixth year of Qing'an.

The time between these months was not long, but it was enough to prove that his efforts were effective.

The progress on the "Late Bloomer" life can be completed in advance, not necessarily after the fixed number of years indicated by him.
