Zhao Yunyuan saw that Zhang Fei and the others were still watching, and he couldn't put it down, so he stood up with severe pain, covered his injuries and said, "Your martial arts are too powerful, far beyond my imagination. ”

"I've also learned your two-finger skills again. Zhiming rubbed his right calf and said.

It turned out that at the moment when Zhiming kicked just now, Zhao Yun exerted two fingers on his right calf at the fastest speed, and at this moment, Zhiming's entire right leg was paralyzed.

Zhao Yun said: "I just clicked on your Yin Valley Acupoint, and your right leg can't move for the time being; However, I was also almost exhausted and lost my ability to attack, so this contest should be considered a draw. ”

Zhiming knew in his heart that if Zhao Yun came to attack him now, he would definitely fall, and maybe everyone wanted to save face for each other. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that he actually lost this battle.

Zhiming hung his head and said, "Brother Zilong, it seems that you are a step above me, and I still have to practice hard." ”

"Don't say that, you just let me do it once. From the perspective of age, it's already a miracle that your martial arts have reached this level, and I wasn't that strong back then. The improvement of martial arts requires years of tempering. Don't be discouraged, you didn't lose. Zhao Yun comforted him and helped him solve his acupoint.

Zhiming's right leg regained its freedom. Zhao Yun said: "Actually, your martial arts are stronger than mine, but I clicked on your acupoint, so that you can't continue to fight; ”

"Actually, I can see that you've been retaining your strength, right? If you had used your Ten Successful Two Finger Skill against me just now, I would have fallen a long time ago. Zhiming knew that Zhao Yun was being modest, and in the whole process of the competition, he obviously felt that Zhao Yun was playing more steadily than him, and his actual combat ability was above him.

“...... You're right," Zhao Yun finally admitted, "After all, I have been practicing martial arts longer than you, and I have more actual combat experience than you." The two-finger skill is my nirvana, and I don't usually use it, because you are too strong, so I am forced to use it. For two people with equal skills, actual combat experience can often determine victory or defeat. ”

Zhiming sighed and said, "It would be nice if I could also do two-finger work." ”

Zhao Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is our Zhao family's unique secret skill, and it has never been passed on. In fact, your boxing skills are also very powerful, and I can't stop them. Seriously, you're already pretty good. ”

"It seems that I have no chance to learn the two-finger skill, but I am very interested in the general's peerless marksmanship, can you teach me?"

"Of course you can!" Zhao Yun said briskly, "The Zhao family's marksmanship is allowed to be passed on, otherwise there would be no sharpshooter team, besides, I also hope that more of my own family can master it so that I can kill the enemy." ”

Zhang Fei became anxious when he heard this: "Zhao Yun, what kind of crime should you be guilty of accepting apprentices without the consent of my eldest brother!"

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Yide, I taught marksmanship for the purpose of protecting my family and defending the country, and I have no other intentions." ”

Zhang Fei, who was quite jealous, said: "Zhao Yun, you said that your marksmanship is powerful, but my spear skills are not powerful! Come, I use a snake spear, you use a silver spear, let's fight for three hundred rounds, see who is powerful!"

Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei: "Second brother, this is your mistake, didn't Zhiming also learn the art of swords and spears from you and me, so in this way, we are also apprentices privately?"

When Zhang Fei heard the same, he scratched his head in embarrassment. Zhiming knew his thoughts and said, "Actually, in my eyes, the three of you are very powerful, and there is no need to score the winner." ”

"That's pretty much it. Zhang Fei finally got his mental balance.

"You also used hard qigong just now, this is something I didn't expect, it's really rare for a twenty-year-old young man to know this kind of martial arts. I can also do hard qigong, but I'm not very skilled, so I can't resist your elbow blows. When Zhao Yun said this, he coughed a few times, and the pain in his ribs flared up again.

Zhiming wanted to help him, but Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter, and it will be fine in two days." ”

When it came to hard qigong, Zhiming thought of the qi veins again, but unfortunately he couldn't effectively master it, otherwise he might be able to defeat Zhao Yun. He vowed that he must master the method of controlling the qi veins as soon as possible.

Zhao Yun asked, "Zhiming, do you know who is the strongest martial artist in Cao's army now?"

Zhiming shook his head. Zhao Yun said: "He is the leader of the White Tigers, Tianfeng. ”

"White Tigers?" Zhiming was puzzled.

"It seems that you still don't know anything about the White Tigers. Let me tell you, the White Tigers are the most powerful army under Cao Cao, with hundreds of thousands of people and their headquarters in Xudu. It is said that every soldier in it has extraordinary combat power, and every general is a person with superior martial arts, and its leader, Tianfeng, is even more unfathomable in martial arts, and it is rumored that he once defeated Lu Bu. Cao Cao organized the White Tigers as a reserve army, which would not be used easily under normal circumstances, and would only be used when forced to do so. It is reported that in Xiapi, Xuzhou, he was forced to dispatch the White Tigers due to the situation, and easily captured Lu Bu alive. ”

Zhang Fei said: "Our enemy, in addition to Cao Cao's own army, also has the White Tigers, the latter is much stronger than the former. ”

Guan Yu said: "This is a strong team that cannot be ignored!"

Zhiming was stunned, he had never heard of this information, and in the historical information instilled in him by the old immortals, there was not a shadow of the White Tigers. For such a mysterious and powerful army, the old immortal avoided mentioning it, which is incomprehensible.

Zhang Fei changed the subject: "By the way, you guys played so well just now! What is Zhiming's move called? The fist speed is so fast, I can't see it clearly at all! And Zhao Yun's two-finger skill, which almost abolished Zhiming's hands and feet, is really worthy of being the heir of the Zhao family......

Zhang Fei praised them endlessly, but Zhiming didn't listen to them at all, and was thinking about the White Tigers.

That night, he used the telepathy to ask the old fairy for advice. The old fairy said, "Originally, I planned to tell you later, but since you know, I'll tell you directly." In fact, as the son of the Holy Sword, the real purpose of your descent to earth is not to fight against Cao Cao, but to the White Tigers. ”

"......?!" Zhiming was shocked.

"Don't be surprised, it's true. Your first task when you come to earth is to defeat the White Tiger God. ”

"White Tiger God?"

"Yes, the White Tiger God is a god and a human like you, but the difference is that he is an evil god. Twenty years ago, he led tens of thousands of minions down to the earth, incarnated as a group of human bandits, and called himself the 'White Tiger Gang'. After some polishing, the White Tiger Gang gradually became a major force organization in the Han Dynasty. Later, Cao Cao summoned the heroes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and they took advantage of the situation to take refuge in him. Because of their martial arts, they were incorporated into Cao Cao's reserve army, which was initially named 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry', and later changed its name to 'White Tiger Brigade' at the request of Tianfeng. ”

Zhiming thought it was incredible, he thought that he was the only one in the world. He asked, "Why did they take refuge in Cao Cao?"

Because they wanted to rule the world! Cao Cao was already showing his domineering power at that time, and his power was getting stronger and stronger. The White Tiger God took a fancy to this and wanted to use his power to destroy the heroes. When the heroes were destroyed, he instigated Cao Cao to deal with the Son of Heaven. After the Son of Heaven is destroyed, he will destroy Cao Cao, and he will be able to sit on the Han Dynasty. On the one hand, the White Tiger God wanted to use Cao Cao's power to eliminate the heroes, and on the other hand, he did not let Cao Cao get the world. ”

"Then does Cao Cao know the true identity of the White Tigers?"

"Of course they don't know, it's impossible for them to reveal their identities to humans. The White Tigers were essentially the reserve pillar of the Wei State. ”

"Wei State?"

"Yes, Cao Cao has always wanted to establish his own country, and he calls himself the 'King of Wei'. ”

"How many people are there in the White Tigers?"

"At present, there are about 100,000 people, half of them are gods and humans, and the other half are transferred from Cao's army year by year. Every year, the White Tigers select some stronger soldiers from Cao's army to join their organization, but Tianfeng is still not satisfied with his current strength, and he will continue to expand the White Tigers' sphere of influence. Your mission is to stop his plot, otherwise the White Tigers will surely become an even more formidable army than Cao Cao's own army in the future!"

"The question is, why can they go down to earth, why don't the holy sword care?"

"This is still a mystery so far, but one thing is certain, their ultimate goal is to overthrow the Han Dynasty and establish themselves as kings! As I said before, the Holy Sword is no longer able to control this troubled world, you are the son of the Holy Sword that came into being, and you must replace the Holy Sword to complete this mission and destroy the White Tigers!"

"......" Zhiming was speechless for a moment.

"Don't be afraid, you have holy blood flowing in you, and your skills will be stronger than ordinary people, you must learn to adapt to the environment and accept reality. Without further ado, I'm gone, goodbye. ”

Since then, a new element has been injected into Zhiming's brain cells: my real enemy is the White Tigers, and I was born into this world to destroy the White Tigers.

On this day, Zhiming saw Xu Shu sitting in the pavilion sullenly, so he asked, "Why is the military advisor worried here?"

Xu Shu sighed and said, "General Lei, I may have to leave here soon." ”

"Why?" Zhiming was surprised.

"I've been having the same dream for the past few days, dreaming that my mother was kidnapped by Cao Cao and taken into Xuchang, and she was hung up and beaten every day. Cao Cao said to her, 'If you don't call your son to do things for me, I'll torture you to death!' If so, what should I do?"

"Where does Lingtang live?"

"It's in a village not far from Xuchang City. ”

"Does anyone in the court know where she lives and how she relates to you?"

"Only one person knows, it is Cao Cao's strategist Cheng Yu, and I have been friends with him since childhood. When we grew up, we parted ways because of our different ideals. ”

"Are you afraid that Cheng Yu will trick Ling Tang into Xuchang and put him under house arrest in order to curry favor with Cao Cao?

"I don't know. I'm really unfilial, I ran out by myself, leaving my mother at home, I should cut it with a thousand knives!" Xu Shu burst into tears.

Zhiming comforted him: "The military advisor thinks too much, it's just a dream, don't worry." ”

Before the words fell, Sun Qian came over and said: "Military advisor, someone has brought a letter from Xuchang, saying that he must hand it over to you personally, and he is in court." ”

"Xuchang!" Xu Shu was startled, and hurriedly ran to the court and saw the messenger.

"I am the messenger of Lord Cheng Yu, the staff of Prime Minister Cao Cheng in Kyoto, and Lord Cheng asked me to give this letter to Mr. himself, please take a look. The messenger took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu took the letter with trembling hands, opened it and looked at it, the content was as follows:

Shu'er, your brother Kang'er recently passed away, and I had no one to take care of me, but fortunately Zhongde rescued me in time and brought me into his mansion to serve. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and recently I was threatened by Cao thieves in every way, forcing me to summon you to Xuchang to work for him. I refused to obey, so I was tormented. I don't want to live, I want to swallow it alive! I really can't bear it, so I have no choice but to set up this book, and ask Zhongde's henchmen to give it to you. Shu'er, you will save me, even if you don't want to be a thief, you can come to Xuchang to see me for the last time, so I can be blind when I die. Shu'er, we wait for you!Mother Huiying (address on the back)

After reading the letter, Xu Shu was already in tears, and tears dripped on the floor through the letter paper.

Liu Bei rushed to the scene, saw that his face was full of tears, and asked what happened. Xu Shu said: "Uncle Huang, I can't serve you anymore. ”

"Why?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

Xu Shu showed him the letter. After reading the letter, Liu Bei asked, "Is Shu'er you, military advisor?"

Xu Shu cried and said, "That's my name, my real name is Xu Shu." I didn't expect Cao Cao to use such despicable means to threaten me, it's really careless!"

Zhiming asked, "Is this letter written by Ling Tang?"

Xu Shu nodded: "I recognize my mother's handwriting, I can't be wrong." ”

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Cao, an old thief, is really shameless to play a trick!"

Xu Shu endured his grief and said: "Uncle Huang, it's not that I don't want to stay, it's just because my mother is trapped in the tiger's den, and as a son, I can't see death without saving it." It is the greatest regret of my life that I can no longer fight side by side with Uncle Huang and create a great cause together! Uncle Huang's kindness to me can only be repaid in the future. ”

After that, he began to cry loudly, his filial heart was really true, and Liu Bei was moved by him, and he also burst into tears. The two hugged each other and cried.

Xu Shu stopped crying and said, "Without further ado, I decided to leave tomorrow." Uncle Huang, you must take care!"

Liu Bei also wiped away his tears and said helplessly: "The military advisor went to save his mother, but he had nothing to say, and he just hoped that the military advisor would be safe all the way." Tomorrow morning, I will hold a banquet in the long pavilion outside the city for the military advisors. ”

Seeing this situation, Zhiming couldn't help but think of the scene when he parted with Master and Alain, and he missed the happy and ordinary life before. In addition to nostalgia, he suddenly had a bold idea: to go to Xuchang with Xu Shu and take the opportunity to go deep into the base of the White Tigers for military investigation. He was taken aback by his own thoughts, which was tantamount to pulling teeth out of the mouth, but he felt that it was his responsibility.
