"Daoist Yuji, do you accept apprentices?"

The cute girl's eyes were full of anticipation, but Zhong Yangming refused ruthlessly: "I have no plans to accept apprentices." ”

I thought that she would die if she did this, but who thought that this girl said, "But Daoist, you will have to accept disciples sooner or later, don't you?" ”

Listening to the meaning of this, it seems that you want to line up first to get a number?

Zhong Yangming smiled: "Then you have to wait for a long time." By the way, I haven't asked the girl's name yet. ”

"My name is Yu March, and my father originally changed my name to Yu Jingyu, but there were too many strokes, and I couldn't learn these two words, so I changed my name to March."

Zhong Yangming: ......

It's the first time I've seen such a unique self-introduction, but think about it, it seems to be right, now it's using traditional characters, and there are really a lot of stinging strokes.

Yu March enthusiastically led Zhong Yangming into the city, and Zhong Yangming did not refuse. He is not familiar with this life, and it is good to have a guide.

This time when he entered the city gate, the gatekeeper who had stopped Zhong Yangming just now was full of smiles and apologized again and again, saying that he had eyes and did not know Mount Tai.

Zhong Yangming naturally didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Thank you for stopping me, otherwise Xiaodao wouldn't have won this seven-fold gold medal." ”

Xiao Bing was flattered by these words, and hurriedly said: "Yuji Dao Chang is magnanimous, admire and admire." ”

Is this magnanimous?

Zhong Yangming was puzzled, but he heard Yu Yue say: "You are lucky, my master is magnanimous, if you change to someone else's tricks, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep it." ”

Even the master has called it, this girl is really familiar enough. But what Zhong Yangming was strange about was not this place, but what Yu March said so naturally.

Is this going to destroy the eyes?

"So serious? He's just playing by the rules. ”

Yu March explained: "On the rivers and lakes, a big fist is the rule, Master, you have high martial arts, if you have a little less energy and hate him for having no eyes just now, then you can naturally let him dig out his eyeballs." He has no ability, so he can only be a soldier guarding the door. The eyes of a small soldier and the favor of a gold medal master all know how to choose, and who cares if he does things according to the rules at this time. Not to mention a pair of eyeballs, if Master opens his mouth now, his head will be taken off. ”

When these words were spoken, the little soldier guarding the door suddenly trembled, Zhong Yangming looked around again, and there were really people eager to try.

He couldn't help but think of the story he had heard, Jing Ke just praised the maid's hands were very beautiful, and Prince Yan Dan chopped off these hands and gave them to Jing Ke.

I think that the rivers and lakes are the same as the imperial court, but the imperial court is about the position of power, and the rivers and lakes are about fists.

Yu Yueyue suddenly said unexpectedly: "Master, are you walking the rivers and lakes for the first time? ”

Zhong Yangming was a little embarrassed, which was seen.

"Ouch, Master, I'm afraid that you are a master who has been practicing hard in the mountains since birth, and the four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not distinguished, no wonder the martial arts are so high at a young age."

Zhong Yangming wanted to say that the four bodies were not diligent and the five grains were not used in this way, but it seemed that he couldn't refute it when he thought about it, and he remembered that the last time he hunted, he couldn't even tell the difference between a deer and a roe deer.

As if she had seen some rare treasure, Yu Yueyue couldn't wait to say, "Master, don't worry, I promise to teach you all the rules of the rivers and lakes and the underworld." ”

What a mess.

However, Zhong Yangming also began to be curious, this place is really insightful.

The little soldier guarding the door seems to be more like a Jianghu person than a soldier for the imperial court, is this Qi County the final say of the martial arts family, or the county government has the final say?

Zhong Yangming was originally going to leave after cultivating, but now it seems that there is still a lot of excitement to see.

Zhong Yangming said to Yu Yueyue: "Don't call me Master, if you shout like this again, I'll find someone else to show me the way." ”

When Yu March heard this, he immediately understood what Zhong Yangming meant, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Then I will call you Yuji Dao Chief, Dao Chief, please, I will take you to find a place to live first." ”

"Okay, please Miss Yu lead the way."

Yu March said happily: "It's good for the Taoist to call me March, we met in the ring, and it doesn't matter if we don't know each other, friends of life and death, don't be so polite." ”

Zhong Yangming: ......

There seemed to be something wrong with this word, but Zhong Yangming couldn't say it.

followed Yu March into Qi County, and it can be seen that this is indeed a small county town that is not very prosperous, and it is indeed incomparable with the capital.

The road alone is much narrower, and the houses on both sides are also old, but at this time Qi County is very lively, and there are many traders on both sides to greet guests.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the road who wear swords, but it seems that they are the most of these two, and the real long weapons are rarely seen, and it seems that the people of the rivers and lakes are still mainly swords.

Zhong Yangming was looking around with great interest, and Yu Yue said, "Dao Chief, why don't we put away this gold medal first?" ”

Zhong Yangming said strangely: "Doesn't it mean that this status symbol can be discounted all?" ”

Yu March said embarrassedly: "Just show it when you pay, this gold medal is conspicuous, and it is easy to cause trouble." Daoist, you're not afraid, but isn't this a delay? ”

Zhong Yangming said with a smile: "You didn't say that just now, you shouted so loudly that as long as you see more people, you will know that I am worthy of this gold medal and will not come to trouble." ”

Although he said so, Zhong Yangming still put away the gold medal.

He already knew that Yu Yueyue was fooling himself just now, she was the person who was the organizer of this martial arts conference, of course, she would make it as lively as she could, and now she started to think carefully about the apprentice, so she began to care about the "master".

But Zhong Yangming felt that Yu March's change of face was very straightforward, and he didn't feel annoyed.

Yu March took Zhong Yangming all the way forward, and kept talking, constantly introducing him to the customs of Qi County.

"Sanxiaolou said that the best roast goose in the county, in fact, it is made of ducks, specifically to deceive outsiders, the rice wine in Wanqing Hall is the best, the best rice is used, and the sauce beef there is also a must......"

Although Yu March doesn't say any flowery rhetoric, every sentence is real, and it's all food.

Zhong Yangming listened to it with relish, which was much more attractive than the places where literati and artists liked to go. Maybe it's also related to the strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes in Qi County, and the people of the rivers and lakes don't like to drink wine and eat meat and then find a place to be chic.

Yu March's recommendation is very good, but Zhong Yangming still cares more about this martial arts conference.

Zhong Yangming asked: "In March, who is holding this martial arts conference, and what is the purpose?" ”

"This is our Yu family's business, Qi County is full of martial arts families, and our Yu family's prestige here is not bad. Some time ago, the county magistrate of Qi County found our Yu family, saying that he wanted to hold a martial arts conference.

"The first is to make Qi County lively, and if there are more people, the money will naturally come, and the second is that there have been many rebellions and bandits over the years, many of whom are from the rivers and lakes, so the imperial court wants to co-opt some people from the rivers and lakes to deal with these wandering bandits."

Hearing this, Zhong Yangming frowned.

Using Jianghu people to deal with bandits doesn't sound reliable, but Zhao'an is a routine operation, and getting a martial arts conference comes out is at most a little bigger.

"Just in the ring?" Zhong Yangming asked.

"Yes, only the ring. Three days later, the preliminary round will be held, with the iron and bronze medals going first, followed by the silver and gold medals. However, the specific date has not yet been decided, and I heard from the people in the county government that there is a big man who is coming from the capital, and the finals will be held when he arrives. ”

"Big shots? Who is it? ”

Yu March shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only know that he is a noble person in the capital, and he is probably a big official." But the rewards in this ring tournament are really good. If you win the top spot, not only can you get the official position, but also have 100 acres of fertile land, and you can also mine the iron ore in Qi County for three years, and all the ore produced in three years is your own, which is more valuable than good land. ”

"Three-year mining rights? How will this be rewarded? Zhong Yangming asked strangely.

Yu March said: "It's valuable, the most valuable thing in Qi County is this iron mine, and the mine in Qi County is especially suitable for building weapons, which is just right for the people of the rivers and lakes." ”

Although Yu March said it so naturally, Zhong Yangming felt that something was wrong.

Jianghu people need blades, but who would want a whole mine to fight weapons, and hire someone to mine and cast it...... What can a Jianghu person do?

Unless it is a martial arts family like Yu Yueyue, if he is given an iron mine, he can only sell the development rights to others.

Zhong Yangming felt that this martial arts conference might just be a pretense, and recruiting people from the rivers and lakes was not the real purpose, but someone wanted to quietly get the iron ore in Qi County.

But this is strange, the county order of Qi County could have disposed of this iron ore, and if you want iron ore, you just need to get the county order, why let the county order come forward to make a lot of trouble to hold this martial arts conference?

There are some things that are best covered up if they don't make a big fuss.

Quietly change people, quietly mine, ordinary people will not know about it at all.

Just thinking about the secret behind it, Yu March suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said to Zhong Yangming: "Dao Chief, Wanqing Pavilion has arrived." ”

Zhong Yangming followed her finger and looked over, only to see a five-story building, surrounded by people.

Zhong Yangming said strangely: "Why didn't you open the door?" ”

The door on the first floor of this Wanqing Pavilion is closed, but there are many guests on the second and third floors.

Yu March said: "That's the rule of Wanqing Pavilion, you will only be entertained if you get upstairs with light skills." And the higher the floor, the better the hospitality. Dao Chief, how many floors are you going up? ”
