The old groom's surname is Zhou.

"It's okay now, these people should be the defenders of Ganzhou City.

But looking at their situation, it seems a little too hasty. ”

As the knights approached, they did not slow down in the slightest.

As they staggered past them, one of the knights shouted to them:

"Run!"

Then Ma Dakui saw these knights running frantically towards Ganzhou City.

Shortly after they left, there were more horses' hooves on the official road behind.

The old groom's face finally changed slightly.

"Mountain bandits attack the city!"

At this time, because Emperor Wu City dominated the rivers and lakes, the righteous martial arts began to clean up the demon martial arts and even the mountain bandits.

Some mountain bandits were forced to leave their own mountains and start guerrilla warfare.

And the one in front of him is the mountain bandit who used to be in the nearby Ganzhou Mountains.

I saw more than ten people riding fast horses and quickly chasing in the direction of the Ganzhou defenders' escape.

But he still divided into three horses and came towards Ma Dakui.

Ma Dakui could even feel the murderous aura coming to his face.

The other party rode a fast horse and held a bright big knife in his hand.

This kind of big knife Ma Dakui is recognized.

There are many of these weapons in the smithy.

These weapons are treasured by the treasurer.

Apprentices can only see, not touch.

Even if you look at it, you can only see the short time that these weapons have just been refined and sent to the warehouse.

Ma Dakui was already panicking at this time.

I was carried away by the killing intent of the other party.

However, just as the three horsemen rushed up, and even raised the steel knife in their hands, Ma Dakui suddenly bit the tip of his tongue hard.

Immediately a pain brought him back, and he grabbed it to his side and grasped a flat pole.

Because of the refining shop, this flat pole is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet.

It's barely a weapon.

At least it won't be easily cut off by the opponent's steel knife.

"Uncle Zhou, I'll drag them later, you want to find a way to escape, you should have a chance on horseback!"

The old groom looked at the blood flowing from the corner of Ma Dakui's mouth, his eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth actually pulled out an arc.

And just when the three of them were about to rush up, Ma Dakui was about to prepare to fight hard, and the old groom was also ready to make a move.

Suddenly, behind them, that is, in the direction that those mountain bandits were chasing before, the group of mountain bandits actually came back.

"The wind is howling!"

A series of yells came from the mountain bandits.

And the three horsemen who were about to rush towards Ma Dakui heard this roar and immediately controlled the horse to turn a corner and ran into the distance.

After a long time, when the figures of the mountain bandits disappeared from Ma Dakui's sight, he consciously threw away the flat burden in his hand.

His body was weak, and his legs and feet were a little uncontrollable.

The old groom immediately helped him up.

"For the rest of your life after the catastrophe, you will be blessed!"

The old groom comforted him.

And soon, the officers and soldiers killed in the city appeared in front of the two.

Most of the team was still chasing after the bandits.

The roles of both sides were reversed once in a very short time.

And from this team, two horses were separated and came to the old horseman and Ma Dakui.

One of them, Ma Dakui, was acquainted.

It was Sun Zhanshan, who was selected two years ago.

Sun Zhanshan obviously recognized Ma Dakui.

At the banquet two years ago, Lu Tong introduced the two to each other.

After a year or two, Ma Dakui felt a completely different momentum from the other party.

"Brother Ma, why are you here?"

Sun Zhanshan rode on a horse with a tall posture, like a javelin, and his eyes were sharp at this time, at least for Ma Dakui.

Sun Zhanshan quickly swept over the cart beside them, and immediately became stunned.

"Why did you go outside the city to buy it, now there are bandits outside the city, but the danger is very tight!

Brother Lin and I of the Dart Bureau have now been requisitioned by the government and joined the city guard.

It was our commander who ordered the two of us to come and find out what was going on, and to take you into the city. ”

Ma Dakui nodded, forcing himself to stand up.

"Thank you, Brother Sun!"

Ma Dakui immediately introduced Sun Zhanshan to the old groom.

Although the old groom has been in the refining shop for more than ten years, he is still familiar with the heads of several courtyards on weekdays, and he has few acquaintances with these apprentices.

In the past ten years, he has known only one apprentice, Ma Dakui.

On the way back, Ma Dakui and Sun Zhanshan had a very happy conversation.

When he learned that Brother Lin beside Sun Zhanshan was the son of a dart leader in the dart bureau, Ma Dakui immediately saluted him respectfully.

And this Brother Lin is arrogant.

Unless you can be selected to enter the game, and you have to be the best among them.

Otherwise, it will not be in his eyes.

After talking with Sun Zhanshan, Ma Dakui learned that the latter was already a master of opening up the five veins, and he was just one vein away from being able to become a peak martial artist of Xiaocheng.

Then came the way to the supreme consummation.

Ma Dakui congratulated Sun Zhanshan well.

The latter means that Ma Dakui will be able to reach this level in the future.

At the same time, taking advantage of the time when he returned to the city, Sun Zhanshan also taught some of his experience to Ma Dakui.

Ma Dakui thought to himself at this time, Sun Zhanshan, who Lu Tong said at the beginning, was extremely gentle and helpful, and this was really the case.

However, they didn't find it, and neither did the arrogant Brother Lin, when the old horseman's eyes looked at Sun Zhanshan, a faint cold light flashed.

"You kid is hiding quite deeply!"

All the way into the city, Sun Zhanshan did not go back to Longchang Refining Shop with Ma Dakui.

Sun Zhanshan is now under the jurisdiction of the city guards, and he is not allowed to act at will at such a critical time, but he still gave Ma Dakui a few words of encouragement.

Ma Dakui was deeply encouraged, and he could feel the sense of oppression from Sun Zhanshan's body.

It was a force that he longed for.

Ma Dakui and the old groom returned to the Longchang Refinery Shop.

Han Zhanglao knew about the things outside the city, and he was only surprised, and he was not too surprised.

I already knew what was going on outside the city.

In this way, Ma Dakui's gratitude to Han Zhangspoon suddenly eased a little.

Originally, after he came to the Longchang refining shop, he had been taken care of by Han Zhanglao.

If it weren't for the oil and water that Han Zhang's spoon exposed from between his fingers, he would not have been able to refine his body to this level so quickly.

But judging from today's situation, the other party doesn't care about his life or death at all.

If Han Zhangdao can advance today's matter, even if it is a reminder, Ma Dakui will also go out of the city to buy.

This is his way of behaving in the world, people respect me, I respect people.

The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring.

In the next few days, he seemed to have become a thing in his heart, he was a little reluctant to do things, and his practice was a little less active.

But on this day the old groom came and found him.

It was the first time Ma Dakui came to the stable where the old groom was.

Although the old groom lives with the horses, he has an independent yard, which can be regarded as a good treatment.

"Old man, I finally made a decision after thinking about it."

At the beginning, there were words that made Ma Dakui scratch his head.

"Uncle Zhou, can you make your words clearer? I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"You bastard, bastard!"

Out of nowhere, the old groom took out a bag of dry tobacco.

He took two puffs before he spoke.

"Do you know why you didn't buy it when you went out of the city three days ago, and the one surnamed Han didn't remind you that it's not peaceful outside the city now?"

Ma Dakui's face couldn't help but darken when he thought of this, but he still shook his head.

Of course he had an idea in his heart.

Although he is honest, he is not stupid.

The old groom couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that he was still covering up for Han Zhangshao at this time, but at the same time, he cherished this young man.

"Because you're going to turn twenty next year."

The old groom knew that Ma Dakui knew the reason, but he still told the truth.

"When you turn twenty, you have two choices. No matter which one you choose, you'll be away from Han.

In the future, even if the two of you are in this Longchang refining arsenal, it will be an equal-level relationship.

With your size, it's definitely impossible for you to be in charge.

So he's now looking for a new helper.

And you are his outcast. ”

The old groom took two puffs, seeing that Ma Dakui's expression had declined.

In the past three years, Ma Dakui has treated Han Zhangdao sincerely.

It's a pity that the latter is unsympathetic and only has reality in his eyes.

"It's just ......"

The old groom suddenly changed his words.

"That's not the real reason he abandoned you.

If you had enough strength, he wouldn't do such a thing.

It's all because the talent and strength you show now is not enough for your last chance at selection next year.

If your strength and talent are enough, his surname Han will still treat you like this, and he will definitely fight you to the death. ”

"I..."

Ma Dakui knows that his talent is relatively average, and his physique is not bad, but this is all due to Han Zhangscoo, so even if the other party is unjust, he can't be ruthless.

"Old man, I have a bit of a chance here, I don't know if you want it stupid boy?"

The old groom asked with a sudden smile.

"Huh?"

Ma Dakui was a little stunned for a while.

The old groom said he wanted to give me a chance?

"Boy, look at your simplicity, I won't go around the bend with you.

Old man, I also have a bit of a background.

It's not hard to give you a little bit of edification.

It's just that the old man and I are also a face-saving person, if you are given this creation, you have to recognize me as a teacher. ”

Ma Dakui didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, he was still in a state of confusion.

But soon he took a closer look at the old groom.

"Uncle Zhou, you're not joking with me, are you?"

There was some skepticism in Ma Dakui's tone.

No one would associate the sloppy-looking, smelly old horseman in front of him with a master of the rivers and lakes.

The old groom pursed his lips, then rolled his eyes again.

"Stinky boy, do you want to give you a chance love!"

Seeing that the old groom looked really angry, Ma Dakui inexplicably had a thought, could it be true.

The next moment, he barely hesitated, and bowed his head.

"The master is above, and the apprentice is worshipped!"

What Ma Dakui is thinking in his heart now is: Anyway, he is older than me and older than me, even if he teases me, it doesn't matter if he kowtows.

Who told me to respect the old and love the young?

The old groom was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and then laughed heartily.

He got up and came to Ma Dakui's side, holding Ma Dakui's burly body with both hands.

The latter immediately felt a warm sensation in the palms of the old groom's hands entering his body.

"Good boy, you will be my apprentice in the future, and when you become a master, I will give you a meeting gift today!"

Ma Dakui only felt a huge suction force coming from the palms of the old horseman's hands.

Then his body involuntarily began to be fiddled with by the old groom.

First he was easily pulled up by the old groom, who was not light now, but was easily pulled up by the old groom who looked weak.

Then the old groom came behind him in a flash.

The palm of his hand pressed against his skin and began to rub it.

It's like giving him a massage.

After their apprentices were tired from practicing, the master of the Longchang Refining Shop also taught them some massage techniques.

At this time, the old groom used this similar technique, but the difference was that there was a steady stream of warm heat from the palm of the old guff's hand, which penetrated into Ma Dakui's limbs.

"Hmph, that guy surnamed Han has eyes and doesn't know pearls.

Lao Tzu's apprentice, it turns out that his talent is still good, and he has already touched the method of the second vein, and it is just around the corner to open the second vein.

I'll wait a year to see your dog-faced dumbfounded. ”

The old groom thought so in his heart, but he kept exerting force in his hand, and a pure internal force burst out from his palm.

It was directly injected into Ma Dakui's body.

Of course, these internal forces were not directly given to Ma Dakui.

The old horseman's purpose was only to help Ma Dakui find the location of the six veins.

At the same time, since Ma Dakui's second vein has already opened up, the old groom is not stingy to help him.

That's two hours.

Han Zhangshao was not annoyed when he saw that Ma Dakui did not come over today.

It seems that Ma Dakui already knows what he means.

That's fine.

Ma Dakui's talent can only be regarded as average, but unfortunately he came too late, if he wanted to come to Longchang Refining Shop at the age of eleven or twelve like everyone else, maybe he really had a chance to be selected for the Longchang Dart Game.

But he was too old when he came, and it was only four years to be full.

He had never seen anyone who could be selected for the Longchang Dart Game in four years.

Ma Dakui didn't come today, but he fulfilled him, so that he could gather and disperse.

And beside him there was already a little fat man about thirteen years old.

This is the child of one of his relatives.

If it weren't for him, Han Zhangdao would not have had a showdown with Ma Dakui so soon.

But what he didn't know was that Ma Dakui was experiencing the greatest sublimation of his life at this time.

Two hours passed, and Ma Dakui felt like a dream.

In this dream, he kept swimming inside himself.

He saw the blocked meridian walls.

I also saw the meridians that were unimpeded and were flowing with blood and the Nu River.

It was as if he had entered the inner vision, looking at everything in his body, and he was meticulous!

Two hours had passed for him in a short time.

When he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that the blood qi in his body had risen a little.

He simply felt that there was a hot air circulating in his body.

This feeling is exactly the same as the other people who described the circulation of the power of the two veins of Qi and blood in Datong.

"I've opened the second vein!"

Ma Dakui was just surprised, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the sweaty old horseman beside him.

"Uncle Zhou...... Ah no, master, what's wrong with you? ”

No matter how honest he is, he knows that the changes in his body are because of his master.

And when he saw his master sweating profusely, he knew that in order to get through the second vein for himself, he must have paid a lot for his master.

The old groom waved his hand indifferently.

"It's really old, if it had been before, this kind of thing would have been done in an hour.

It's not so strenuous. ”

Ma Dakui immediately helped the old groom to sit down.

"Now that you've opened the second vein, hurry up and digest it.

Of course, you don't want to participate in this year's selection, and you must open your eyes to those who don't open your eyes when you participate in next year! ”

"Okay, master."

Ma Dakui is now full of awe for the old groom.

Soon, a year passed.

This year's selection came as scheduled.

And I don't know what happened, this year's Longchang Dart Bureau actually had to select five places.

But in the same way, in the Longchang refining shop, there are many more people.

Ma Dakui found that these people were very full of qi and blood, and they walked like tigers.

At least to the extent that the second pulse has been opened.

After inquiring about it, he learned that these people were all children of some big families in Ganzhou City.

These people originally disdained to participate in the selection of the Longchang Dart Bureau.

I haven't participated in one at all in decades.

However, it is said that there seems to be some great changes in the Longchang dart game this year. This led to the fact that the children of these big families in the city also wanted to get involved.

Of course, because this place is the South China Sea, the wind of civil and military affairs is half and half.

The big families in Ganzhou City are also heirlooms of poetry and books, practicing martial arts.

Therefore, the number of young people who meet the requirements is not too large.

If the same conditions and the same situation are placed outside the South China Sea, I am afraid that there will be nothing to do with these apprentices of the Longchang Refinery Shop.

The three judges selected this time are still the same three people as they were three years ago.

In the middle is the old man's leader.

went up to draw lots, and Ma Dakui drew a lot.

Because in his group, there is only one child from a large family in Ganzhou City.

In fact, with Ma Dakui's current strength, there is no one in the entire Longchang refining shop who is his opponent.

It can be said that he is now sure of victory.

The only variable is the children of these large families.

And he had to deal with only one person, and there were at least two children from large families in the other four groups.

Therefore, what he chose can be described as signing.

Today's competition rules are the same as before, with five people in the same group, and the only winner is the winner.

But this year is different from previous years.

Because in previous years, several groups of people came together.

But this year it became a group.

Ma Dakui's group is the second group.

However, this also gave Ma Dakui the opportunity to observe the strength of the children of those big families.

After the first group was on, three of them were from the Longchang Refinery Shop.
