Before the sun set, many generals had gathered outside the main tent of Yao Yuantai, wanting to see who the old man was. In the war-torn grasslands, this is one of the few pleasures for everyone.

Since soldiers below the rank of general were not allowed to come closer, many ordinary soldiers could only stand at a distance of fifty paces, standing on tiptoe and looking in the direction of the main tent, hoping to catch a glimpse of the old man's countenance.

Liu Yu didn't want to join in the excitement, until the night was getting dark, he couldn't stand Li Jing's thousands of struggles, and took her into the main tent, only to see that the tent was already crowded with generals, and Yao Yuantai sat alone on the couch.

Everyone had been waiting for a long time, and they couldn't help but look at the door of the tent at this time. Their hearts swelled at the thought of the imminent arrival of that legendary great man.

Everyone waited for more than an hour, but the old man still did not appear, and there was a lot of discussion in the crowd. Yao Yantai stood up and motioned for everyone to be silent, otherwise the old man suddenly came in, only to find that his subordinates were so unruly that they would be disgraced.

After hearing this, the generals waited patiently for more than an hour. Seeing that it was the third watch in the middle of the night, not only did the generals start muttering, but even Haruka Tai himself began to get anxious.

He hurriedly sent two generals of his cronies to the old man's tent to ask for help. After about a cup of tea, the two came back with gray noses, saying that the old man had spread the word that he needed to fast and bathe for three days before he could meet the group. When the generals heard this, they were all excited, and they all wanted to disperse.

Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help but leaned into Liu Yu's ear and muttered: "What kind of medicine does this old guy sell, putting on a shelf like this?" Liu Jing was a little unhappy after hearing this, and said: "You shouldn't call an old man like that, he wants to see everyone after fasting and bathing, which shows that he is sincere." ”

Yao Yantai stood up from the couch, wanting to calm the troubled people's hearts, and said: "Please believe me, this old man is definitely a great man! According to his disciples, he was the grandmaster of the Central Plains Moral Sword Sect, and even the 'Two Jade Kings', who were famous in the Central Plains martial arts, saw him and wanted to perform the gift of a junior. ”

After hearing this, Li Jing was shocked: "Daode Sword Sect, is there such a martial arts sect in the Central Plains, why have I never heard Master mention it?" Liu Yu said: "Although your master is well-informed, he is not omniscient and omniscient. Some unborn masters like to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, not known to the world, which is also a very normal thing. ”

Unlike the two of them, there were dozens of generals who had returned with Yao Yuantai, and they had seen the old man along the way. Helplessly, the old man was too closely protected by his seven disciples, except for Yao Yuantai, the rest of the people had no chance to contact him at all, and could only look at his immortal wind bones from a distance, envious in their hearts.

Although the old man did not come tonight, he finally made a promise to meet everyone in three days. After listening to Yao Yuantai's words, all the generals nodded their heads again and again, and each returned to the camp, hoping that after the old man had fasted and bathed for three days, he would be able to meet everyone in earnest, so that everyone could listen to his teachings. After all, in this wild Khitan grassland, it is extremely difficult to meet such a famous martial arts master in the Central Plains, and it can be said to be a blessing that is difficult to cultivate in three lives and three lifetimes.

Liu Yu turned around to return to the camp with Li Jing, but was stopped by Yao Yuantai from behind, stepped forward, and handed him back the copy of "The Mirror of the Six Armies". Liu Yu was a little surprised and asked, "Sixth Master, have you finished reading this book so quickly?" He only said that he was too stupid, so it took more than a month to read a book, and there were still many difficulties that he didn't understand. And Master Yao Yuan Tai is smart by nature, and after just watching it for a long time, he comprehended all the key points.

Yao Yantai sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You have been deceived by the bronze horse, and this book "Mirror of the Six Armies" is fake! How can there be a book of soldiers to teach people the truth of fighting a war and rushing forward? The so-called art of war has advance and retreat, and there is fiction and reality. The Bronze Horse asked you to learn this book, and it simply wanted you to die!"

When Liu Yu heard this, he exclaimed: "Fake? Sixth Master, haven't you read this book with Master Master before?" Yao Yuantai shook his head and said, "No, the book was snatched by the copper horse as soon as it arrived." But I'm sure that he must have bad intentions in giving you this book of "Mirror of the Six Armies", how can Li Weigong, a generation of soldiers, teach people to fight like a donkey who doesn't know how to turn back?"

After hearing this, Liu Yu wanted to say that in fact, Master Lu Shengyan has been scolding himself for being a donkey, and this so-called fake soldier book is very much in line with his heart. However, after thinking about it, he finally didn't have an exit, but pulled Li Jing to say goodbye to Yao Yuantai together.

When parting, Yao Yuantai pointed at Li Jing and said half-jokingly: "Little girl, don't make any trouble in my barracks." Li Jing smiled and said: "Third prince, don't you even believe me, not long ago, we were still in the same boat in the tiger mound, life and death together!"

Yao Yantai said: "Ouch, you don't remind me, you remind me, I think you have to send a few soldiers to watch you." Li Jing hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Third prince, don't worry, I won't make trouble." Haruka Tai smiled: "That's good!"

On the second and third days, the old man did not appear. On this free time, Harukatai rewarded the people who had made great contributions in the previous battle with Jerush. Chi Hugang was promoted to the general of the Right Army, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Because of their meritorious service in pretending to be Tibetan soldiers, Bao Huji and Longtai were promoted from ordinary soldiers to three levels in a row and directly promoted to generals. This time, more than 30 generals, who had been loyally following the saddle of the haruka, were rewarded with gold and silver, cattle and sheep, wives and concubines, and slaves, although they did not participate in the battle.

Liu Yu's face was sad, but not for himself. He said to Li Jing: "There is still one person who has not been rewarded, it is because he disregarded his own safety, gave up the temptation of gold and silver treasures, and revealed Madame Xiao's plan to me, so that I could have the opportunity to leave early with the army and escape the fatal blow of Yelu Shilu." ”

Li Jing shook her head and said, "You must not say it! Otherwise, Yao Yuantai will definitely think that you are taking the opportunity to buy people's hearts." Liu Yu said: "No, my sixth master is not that kind of person. ”

Li Jing sighed and said, "Okay, since you don't want to listen to me, then I have one last suggestion, you can't tell him in front of these many people, you have to go quietly that night." ”

Liu Yu nodded and listened to her words. At night, he quietly went to see Haruka Tai alone. When he came back, Li Jing was quite excited to see him.

He said, "My sixth master agreed, and promoted that meritorious brother to the head of ten. He is not as stingy as you think, but for the sake of the century-old foundation of the Yao Yuan clan, sometimes he can't help himself. ”

Li Jing pursed her lips and said, "It's only ten people long, and it's not a big official." ”

The two have formed an agreement in the past few days, Li Jing sleeps on the couch, and Liu Yu sleeps on the ground.

Li Jing saw that Liu Yu had returned, so she immediately climbed onto the couch and fell asleep after a while. Liu Yu heard her even and soft breathing in the dark, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Knowing the heroes of the rivers and lakes has been his wish since childhood, and he is very excited when he thinks that he will meet the legendary old man of the Daode Sword Sect tomorrow.

Early the next morning, he hurriedly finished a few bites of food, and then pulled Li Jing to meet the old man. Li Jinglai refused to get up on the couch, and Liu Yu had no choice but to go alone. Li Jing stopped him loudly and said, "Hey, I'm a girl, how can you bear to leave me alone!" After speaking, she hurriedly got up to wash, grabbed a leg of mutton, and pulled Liu Yu out while eating.

Liu Yu frowned and said, "Where do you look like a girl!" After hearing this, Li Jing tore the leg of mutton into a strand, and slowly put it into the cherry mouth little by little, and said with a smile: "Is this how the girl's family eats?" Liu Yu snorted and said, "You are pretending to be Sven!"

Li Jing was so angry that she lifted the leg of mutton, hung it above Liu Yu's head, and shouted: "Believe it or not, I'll beat you!" Liu Jing laughed and said, "Reveal your original form, right?" The two chased me between the tents in the barracks, and the soldiers laughed in their hearts when they saw it, "Liu Yingying has a girl he likes!"

When Liu Yu and Li Jing arrived in front of the main tent, they found it empty, and heard from the guards at the door of the tent that the generals had gone to the old man's tent on the orders of the third prince, and they wanted to invite him to come out and meet the others.

When the two of them heard this, they hurried over, only to see that the generals were blocked outside the old man's tent, and no one was allowed to enter. The old man's seven disciples held the golden sword in their arms, supporting them outside the tent, and their expressions were extremely solemn.

Although from time to time a general came forward to speak to these seven people, they remained silent, and at the same time their expressions became more and more serious. After seeing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "To be able to raise such a well-behaved disciple, this old man is really as my sixth master said, he is an extremely not simple character. Li Jing snorted coldly and said, "Pig's nose sticks green onions, pretending to be an elephant!"

The generals waited from morning till noon, and the old man did not come out to meet the people. The scorching sun made everyone sweat, and under the heat, everyone couldn't help but get anxious.

The grassland people do not have the cumbersome etiquette of the Central Plains people, and they can no longer hold back at the moment, and they want to break into the tent one after another. Seeing this, the seven disciples of the Daode Sword Sect who were guarding outside the tent shouted in unison, and the swords were unsheathed at the same time, so startled that the generals couldn't stop retreating.

One of the disciples sighed and said, "Don't worry, I'll go in and report to my master 'Ji Sheng' and his old man, and this matter must be personally agreed by his old man." With that, he turned and walked into the tent.

Liu Yu said: "It turns out that this old man is called 'Ji Sheng', the old Mr. Ji Sheng of the Central Plains Moral Sword Sect, I think he must be called like this. ”

Li Jing snorted and said, "I've only heard of the sage Kong Qiu and the sub-sage Meng Ke, but as for the 'Ji Sage', I've never heard of it. This old man doesn't see any ability, and he dares to be called a saint with Confucius and Meng, which is really shameless!"

Liu Yu was a little displeased after hearing this, and said: "You shouldn't say that about others, since this old man is called 'Ji Sheng', then he must have the ability to stand alone in the world and the demeanor of transcending everyone, otherwise it would not be called the Moral Sword Sect." Li Jing glanced at him and said, "Since you don't believe me, then wait and see!"

After a while, the disciple came out of the tent with a very embarrassed expression. He arched his hand towards the generals and said, "My master said that in ancient times, the Duke of Zhou Tufu accepted the Magi barefoot, and then Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain after visiting the thatched house. After thinking about it for a while, he decided that the third prince had to invite him in person this time. ”

The generals were in an uproar when they heard this, and Li Jing looked at Liu Yu with a smug face, as if to say, "Look, what I said is right?"

At this moment, Yao Yuantai was also anxious to sit in the main tent, and he did not know when the old man would be willing to meet with the generals, so that they would have the honor to listen to the teachings. When he heard the report from the soldier, the old man wanted to invite him himself, and his head buzzed. Then he patted his head, as if he suddenly realized, and said, "Yes! If it weren't for 'Ji Sheng' personally reminding me, I would have almost forgotten such an important thing." Ji Sheng ostensibly asked me to greet him, but in fact, he wanted to spread the reputation of Corporal Lixian for me on the grassland. ”

He stepped out of his tent and stepped on his horse, and went straight to the tent of Ji Sheng. When he was still a hundred paces away from his tent, he dismounted and went on foot to show his respect for the 'Ji Sheng'. When the generals saw him coming, they all moved out of the way, and a disciple of the Moral Sword Sect immediately entered the account to report.

Yao Yantai walked to the entrance of the tent and stopped to arrange his clothes, and the disciple lifted the curtain of the tent and signaled that he could enter. Haruka stepped into the tent with trepidation, and the curtain then fell, obscuring his figure.

The generals gathered in one place again and discussed, until they wanted to see what kind of big man this 'Ji Sheng' of the Central Plains Moral Sword Sect was, and they asked the third prince to invite him personally!

The six disciples of the Moral Sword Sect who remained outside the tent noticed the situation in front of them, and one by one they raised their heads and chests, their eyes turned into the distance, and their expressions became more and more solemn. The blazing sun shone brightly on the golden sword in their hands. Seeing this, Liu Yu was amazed and said, "I used to hear my mother tell stories about heavenly soldiers and generals, but I have never seen them. These six people really look like the heavenly soldiers and generals in the story. ”

Li Jing glanced at the corners of her mouth, her expression was very disdainful, and she said, "Hmph! In my opinion, these six people are useless, and it is excellent to let them go to the pear orchard to sing." Liu Yu sighed, not wanting to argue with her anymore. Li Jing laughed when she saw this, and teased him a few times, deliberately angry that he quarreled with herself, but she failed to do so, and she couldn't help but be a little unhappy.

After about a cup of tea, the tent curtain was finally lifted again in full view of everyone. Everyone stared at the door of the tent, hoping that this big man of the Moral Sword Sect would soon appear. But when they saw the face coming out from behind the curtain, they knew that something was wrong.

The person who came out was Haruka Tae, and his expression was very heavy. Behind him was the disciple of the Daode Sword Sect, who stood at the door of the tent with his head held high, blocking out all peeping eyes.

Li Jing smiled: "It's terrible! This old guy doesn't even give Yao Yantai face." Liu Yu swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and at this moment he was also very impatient in his heart.

The generals hurried to Yaorantai to meet him, and the noise became one. Yao Yantai raised his hands high and shouted: "Don't make any noise, Ji Sheng's old man is really a saint figure! The truth he said made me feel like I was suddenly opened, and I only felt that I had lived a lot of years in vain. After his teachings, I feel more and more that we are not serious in this matter, and we must redouble our efforts to forge ahead!"

When the generals heard this, they became a pot of porridge, and they said everything. Yao Yuantai once again tried his best to calm down everyone's voices, and said: "You go with me to build the altar, don't want ordinary soldiers, just you generals go with me!"

Liu Yu didn't understand a little when he heard this, and turned his head to Li Jing and asked, "Why do you want to build an altar, what does this have to do with welcoming that Ji Sheng?"

Li Jing sneered and said, "Didn't you tell me that although you don't like to read, you love to read Tai Shigong's "Historical Records" very much, why can't you even think of this joint?"

Liu Yu clapped his hands and said, "Yes! Yes! In the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once built a high altar and worshipped Han Xin as a general!" Thinking of this, he was very surprised in his heart, "Ah!? Could it be that the Sixth Master wants to worship this 'Ji Sheng' as a general?" )
