Chapter 31: Transforming the Emperor

In this way, Zhao Lihe practiced martial arts with more than 30 orphans of the Qi family, and relied on his adult mind and the stories he had heard in his previous life, and naturally became the leader of this group of children.

During this period, Zhao Lihe also met his senior brother, who was 13 years older than him, that is, Lu Wenzhao in the movie.

Like the descendants of the Qi family army outside the village, Lu Wenzhao also chose to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, the elders in the village never gave him any good looks.

But Lu Wenzhao didn't care about this, he was extremely friendly to the people in the village, and he also respected the elders very much, even if the elders in the village pointed at his nose and scolded him for being a traitor, Lu Wenzhao just smiled and spit on himself.

As for Zhao Lihe's younger brothers and sisters, let alone that.

The group of children led by Ding Baiying, all the toys from childhood to adulthood were given to them by Lu Wenzhao.

Zhao Lihe is the same, but after all, he has the mind of an adult, and he is not interested in children's toys, but pesters Lu Wenzhao to tell him stories outside every time he comes back.

Lu Wenzhao also likes this junior brother very much, and treats him very patiently every time.

Such days went on year after year.

Until the thirty-ninth year of Wanli, that is, when Zhao Lihe was eleven years old, Ding Zhongwei died of a recurrence of an old disease.

In the face of Master's death, all the children seemed a little helpless in addition to grief.

It was Zhao Lihe who stood up and took Ding Baiying and more than 30 other apprentices to bury the master and wear filial piety for him.

By the time Lu Wenzhao heard the news, Ding Zhongwei had already been buried for more than three months.

Kneeling in front of the master's grave, Lu Wenzhao cried bitterly, and Zhao Lihe and Ding Baiying were by his side.

Seeing that the senior brother was crying sadly, Ding Baiying couldn't help but be sad, turned around and leaned on Zhao Lihe's arms and cried.

“…… Well? ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his eyes became strange when he looked at Zhao Lihe.

If he heard it right, Ding Baiying was only one year younger than Zhao Lihe.

Then when he was eleven years old, Ding Baiying was only ten years old.

Ten years old, can't you help but shoot at the age of ten?

Looking at Zhao Lihe, who was still immersed in his memories, Lin Zhongtian wanted to speak and stopped, and stopped and wanted to speak.

But in the end, he was still too embarrassed to ask.

After all, I just talked about the sadness of the death of a loved one, and it is really disrespectful to ask this kind of question at this time.

There was no way, Lin Zhongtian could only hold the problem in his heart for the time being, and continue to listen to Zhao Lihe tell his story.

"After the death of Master Xian, Senior Brother often returned to the village to teach us martial arts, but after all, he has responsibilities and cannot live permanently, Bai Ying and I learned most of Master's martial arts early because of our relatively high talent in martial arts, so we took the initiative to stand up and take on the responsibility of teaching art on behalf of our master."

"When I was sixteen years old, I simply omitted the rhetoric of teaching art on behalf of the teacher, and let the children in the village directly worship me and Bai Ying as teachers, and Ding Tai and Ding Chong worshiped Bai Ying as their teachers at that time."

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but ask, "What about Ding Xiu and Ding Xian?" ”

Zhao Lihe explained: "The situation of the two of them is quite special, it was brought from outside the village when the senior brother returned to the village once, saying that it was the descendants of the Qi family army who were outcast, I was a little curious, and after asking for a long time, the senior brother told me how he found these two people." ”

Lin Zhongtian was curious: "How did you find it?" ”

Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "Senior brother told me that he was running an errand in the city at that time, but he was stolen by these two little guys at the door of the inn. ”

"The senior brother hurriedly asked, only then did he know that they were also the descendants of the Qi family's army, so the senior brother took them back to the village and changed their surnames, at that time, because of me, there were too many people who worshiped the master, and Bai Ying and I really couldn't teach them, so the two of them were the apprentices of the senior brother."

Lin Zhongtian said with interest: "Then you should be their senior uncle, why do they call you Brother Zhao?" ”

Zhao Lihe smiled bitterly and explained: "After all, these two people have been wandering outside for a long time, and they have been thieves for a few years, and they have a rebellious temperament, seeing that Bai Ying and I are the same age as them, so they are a little unconvinced, and they are unwilling to call me uncle, Ding Xiu was even clamoring to compete with me at that time, saying that as long as I can beat him, he will call me uncle." ”

Lin Zhongtian played with the taste: "What about the result?" ”

Zhao Lihe spread his hands: "The result ...... He still calls me Brother Zhao. ”

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Lihe seemed to recall the funny things when he was a child, and he also laughed.

After laughing for a while, Lin Zhongtian asked with a smile on his face, "What about Ding Xian?" ”

Zhao Lihe said helplessly: "That guy was a tuberculosis ghost when he was a child, how can I be embarrassed to worry about him, but Ding Xiu always likes to bully him, but he can bully himself, if others dare to do this, I am afraid that he will be beaten half to death." ”

"Later, our relationship gradually improved, and I told them the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when it came to Liu Guanzhang, the two brothers seemed to be quite fascinated, and since then, Ding Xiu has never bullied Ding Xian again."

Speaking of this, Zhao Lihe unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

"And after that?"

"After that......"

The smile on Zhao Lihe's face retracted, and his expression was a little sad.

"The war broke out between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, the senior brother was already a garrison under the command of the general army of Juniper Du, and attacked Jilin Cliff with the Western Route Army, when it snowed heavily, the Western Route Army was wiped out, although the senior brother was fortunate to survive, but also because of this great change in temperament, it took a full three years before returning to the village again."

Lin Zhongtian frowned: "These are the original plots, as a traverser, why didn't you remind your senior brother?" ”

Zhao Lihe smiled bitterly: "I reminded you, but what's the use of this, senior brother, he is just a small guard, and how many people can listen to what he says?" ”

"What about you?"

"I was only nineteen years old at the time, and I couldn't write anything, so what could I do?"

"So you've traveled through nineteen years without the slightest influence on the history of this world?"

“…… It's hurtful to say that, but it's true, but at least I've affected the people around me. ”

"The kids?"

"That's right, they are my first team, and they are also the foundation of my alliance."

Zhao Lihe raised his head, looked at the clouds in the sky and said softly: "Since the Salhu War, after three years, the senior brother has returned to the village again, unlike three years ago, this time the senior brother's identity is the Jinyi Guard of the Fusi of Beizhen, and the official is a hundred households, everything seems to have returned to the original plot, as if I have never crossed over." ”

"That year, I was just twenty-two years old, and the children around me had grown up, relying on their unconditional trust, as well as the contributions I have made to the village over the years, and the prestige I have accumulated, the people in the village have basically tacitly thought that I am the first, and I have the final say on all matters."

"And the senior brother came back this time, just to ask me to send someone to help him, he said that he has now met a Ming Lord worth following, although this Ming Lord is not very old, but his ambition is not small, he vowed to bring down Wei Zhongxian, sweep away the eunuchs, and also make a bright future."

"I naturally knew who the master of his mouth was, so I thought about rejecting him, but before I opened my mouth, I suddenly thought that at this time, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, seemed to be only eleven years old, and his three views were undecided, and he was still young."

"If I choose to help my senior brother, can I take this opportunity to come to Zhu Youzhen's side, use my way to influence him, and transform him into a Ming Jun with a forward-looking vision who can clear the chaos......

The corners of Lin Zhongtian's mouth curled: "So you accepted the invitation of King Xin?" ”

Zhao Lihe sighed and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I taught too many children and brought me a lot of self-confidence, but I really thought that this method was feasible at that time." ”
