"Zhou Yi, you have grown up! Baiheshan, Master Tai will entrust you and your father. ”

Zhou Yi reined in his horse and looked terrified, "You don't have to be like this, Baihe Mountain can't live without you and Master Tai......"

Before he could say a word, Tian Yong interrupted him, "Don't you want to listen to the story? ”

Zhou Yi pursed his lips and nodded.

Tian Yong then said: "When your master returned to Baihe Mountain, he accepted me as an apprentice, and Tu Jian also opened a faction in Wuxiang Mountain, and successively accepted Yu Guangling, Cangjia, Xichan and Dongguo Lie as apprentices, while Ge Yuan inherited the foundation of his ancestors and helped the people of Li in Xuantianguan. Ji Enguan to Sanpin, Ren Mobei general, Eastern Guo Guanguan Feng Yanshan King, together with Ji En, formed a barrier against the Turks in the west and north. ”

Zhou Yi frowned and hurriedly interrupted him, "Master Tai, Yi'er began to listen to you, Tu Jian's second disciple is Dong Guo Lie, but why did Dong Guo Lie apprentice after Cangjia and Xi Chan?"

Tian Yong laughed and said, "You have listened so carefully to these old things. But speaking of this matter, I have to mention the two seniors who stayed in the court as officials. Let's talk about Ji En first, he is cautious by nature, and regards Xuanyuan Jian's reputation as more important than his own life, so that when someone impeached him on the basis of this book, he immediately apologized and returned to his hometown without the slightest justification, and never stepped into the court again. At the time, people said that he was calm and quiet, but what he did next made people wonder. Ji En has two sons, the eldest son Ji Heng and the second son Ji Yin, although he himself resigned and returned to his hometown, he let his two sons stay on the official career. Ji Heng is upright, and well versed in Tao strategy, is a very rare civil and military genius, at that time there are not many military generals in the DPRK and China, Ji Heng will be promoted all the way, and finally, worship as a heroic general, commanding the three armies under the command of Yanshan Wang Dong Guo Yan. It is precisely because of him that for more than ten years, the Turkic army did not dare to move south. ”

Zhou Yi listened with admiration, "I can't imagine that in the troubled times, this fertile soil of the Central Plains can breed such heroes!"

Tian Yong sighed, "When I was learning Taoism in Baihe Mountain, I often went to visit Brother Ji Heng, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years later, this Jianghu has long forgotten this ancient strange person. ”

Zhou Yi asked again: "Twenty years, then he passed away twenty years ago?"

"Yes," Tian Yong's face was sad, "At that time, his younger brother Ji Yin was promoted from the companion of the prince of the East Palace to the prince Zhan Shi after ten years, in order to curry favor with the prince, Ji Yin stole Ge Yuan's disguise technique, helped the prince change his appearance, and messed with the inner room of the hussar general Hou Yue. This Hou is overstepping and powerful, and the emperor not only intends to protect the prince, but also wants to save the face of the imperial family, so he puts all the blame on Ji Yin's head. ”

"Ridiculous! No wonder the world is in turmoil, it seems that it is all because there is such a mediocre emperor in the imperial court!" Zhou Yi scolded angrily.

However, the influence of Xuanyuan Sword in the Central Plains cannot be ignored, after all, Ji En was once a marquis, and Ji Heng was also an important minister in the northern border of Rongma. The emperor wanted to compromise and issued a decree that Ji En himself should get rid of his second son. ”

"Did Ji En resist?" Zhou Yi hurriedly asked.

Tian Yong sneered a little, "I just said that for the sake of Xuanyuan Sword's reputation, he would rather not even want his life, how could he care about a son who has gone astray? ”

Speaking of this, Tian Yong smiled helplessly, "That year, we were both over forty years old, how could Ji Heng attack his own brother? But his father's fate is hard to disobey, if Ji Yin does not die, the Xuanyuan Sword will be extinct in the rivers and lakes, even if he doesn't do it, Ji En will let others end Ji Yin's life!" Tian Yong burst into tears, with a painful expression on his face, "Brother Ji Heng, it was in this grief that he returned to the northern battlefield, and then, in a contest with the Turks, he was led into the encirclement of the enemy army, and was finally beheaded for refusing to surrender!" If it weren't for Ji Yin's death, why would he have lost his life!"

"Master Tai!" Zhou Yi burst into tears, a pair of immature fists clenched tightly, and he was also in awe of this hero in his heart!

The two of them rode their horses along a mountain road, and neither of them spoke.

Tian Yong calmed down the turmoil in his heart and said to Zhou Yi: "Ji Heng is the person I respect the most in my life, except for my master. Similarly, he is also Yu Guangling's best friend. ”

Zhou Yi stopped interrupting him, and only listened quietly.

At that time, Yu Guangling and Dong Guo Lie were both deputy generals under Ji Heng, and Dong Guo Lie was the son of Dong Guo Tan, according to Guangling's recollection, in the past, when the troops were arranged, Dong Guo Lie was obedient to Ji Heng, but since Ji Heng killed his brother with his own hands, Dong Guo Lie looked at him differently. Ji Heng went into battle in the last battle, and Dong Guo Lie did not listen to his deployment anymore, so Ji Heng was surrounded. After Ji Heng's death, Dong Guo Tan wanted to behead Dong Guo Lie's military law, and none of the officers and soldiers of the three armies interceded for him, which shows Ji Heng's prestige in the army. ”

At this point, the matter about Ji Heng has been understood, but Zhou Yi still doesn't know why Tu Jian accepted the second disciple of Dong Guo Lie, but at this time he has no intention of asking again.

Fortunately, Ji En came to the camp to intercede for Dong Guo Lie, and Dong Guo Tan spared his life. Since then, Dong Guo Lie has been keeping a vigil for Ji Heng's brother for three years. After Ji Heng's death, Hou Yue took the opportunity to write a letter to impeach Dong Guo Tan, saying that he was proud of his merits and jealous of Ji Heng's high mastery, so he let him risk death and eventually cause evil consequences. The imperial court was also planning to deprive him of his military power, so they took the opportunity to demote him to a concubine. After Dong Guo Tan was demoted, Yu Guangling was disheartened, he was originally a big disciple of Tu Jian, and at this time he had the intention of retreating. Dong Guo Lie envied Yu Guangling's good kung fu, and asked to worship Tu Jian as a teacher many times, but he ran around in the army all the year round and never had a chance. Later, he went to Wuxiang Mountain with Yu Guangling, Tu Jian remembered that he was kind-hearted, although Cangjia and Xichan had already apprenticed at that time, but after all, Dong Guo Lie's willingness to apprentice was first, and the position of these two disciples, Tu Jian still gave up to Dong Guo Lie.

Zhou Yi suddenly realized that since ancient times, there are not many people who can protect themselves in the troubled waters of the court, not to mention this troubled era that has gone through many years of rebellion and constant war?

The romantic characters of the year, those who could recognize advance and retreat became Taoist masters, and those who sank into the sea of eunuchs were ruined and ruined if they were not careful, and their families were ruined.

"The merits of the predecessors are inconvenient for future generations to comment, but as far as the current situation is concerned, although the people who remain are not wise enough, the family, the country, the world, and the common people should not forget the blood and tears they shed on the battlefield!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi dismounted and stood on the side of the road, took off his cloak, and bowed deeply to the sunset.

Tian Yong also dismounted, took a wine bag from the horse's back, and looked at the sunset with a confused expression. He opened the sac and took a few sips of it, then spilled it all on the ground.

Zhou Shiya led the horse team to follow behind, and when he saw him like this, he also stopped. Although everyone didn't know if it had happened, they didn't ask much, and everyone watched silently and in awe.

The wind blew, a flute sounded, the shepherd boy drove the cattle back, Zhou Yi's heart rippled layer by layer, if there was no blood shed by the predecessors, the scene of the shepherd return under the sunset may be difficult to see.

"Master Tai, if Yi'er is in good health, he will definitely follow Ji Heng's example and step on the ice of the Yellow River, so that the Hu people will not dare to offend me in an inch of land!" Zhou Yi looked at Tian Yong, and there seemed to be a little hesitation in his resolute eyes, maybe he was waiting for Tian Yong's affirmative answer.

"Zhou Yi, Master Tai said, you are already a man who stands up to the sky, how big the world is, it depends on how long your steps are!"

Zhou Yideng smiled, his eyes flashing with the afterglow of the sunset.

The two got on the horse again, and each other was much more relaxed.

The whole team also began to move slowly.
