When they arrived in the flower hall, Zhang Guo and the others were still drinking by themselves, as if there was no one around.

Although Yang Xuangan is young, he has been trained by his father's court since he was a child, and his vision is not good, and the city government is quite deep, and he is not embarrassed at all when he sees this scene, and he turned to Li Jing beside him and smiled: "These three gentlemen have their own strange appearances, and at a glance, you can see that they are not ordinary people, how did the pharmacist make friends with such characters?"

Li Jing secretly praised in his heart, and immediately introduced the two sides.

Although Zhang Guo, Tie Guan Li and Zhong Liquan have been playing games for many years, they always hide their identities and their reputations are not obvious, so Yang Xuangan and others don't know their identities.

After greeting each other, Li Jing ordered the remnants of the banquet to be removed and the banquet to be reorganized. After everyone sat at the table, Zhang Chuchen, who was smart and had a foundation in cultivation, also saw the extraordinaryness of Zhang Guo and the three of them, and obediently fulfilled the duties of a maid, standing aside and pouring wine and food for everyone.

After drinking a few more glasses, Li Jing asked Yang Xuangan about the origin of this time.

Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "Brother Fool is here, there is something to inform the pharmacist in advance, and you need to prepare in advance, so as not to be caught off guard when the matter comes." ”

Li Jing was surprised: "But I don't know what Brother Xuan Gan is referring to?"

Yang Xuan said: "The pharmacist has been appointed by His Majesty and enlisted in the Tiger Chick Battalion of the Xiaoguo Army, and the official document of the imperial court will be issued in a few days." The pharmacist may wish to pack up the application first, and leave as soon as the paperwork arrives. This time, Brother Yu and Ji Shan are also among the applicants, and everyone will be brothers and sisters in robes, just taking care of each other. ”

Although Li Jing had guessed Yang Xuangan's intention, he didn't expect him to give him such a big gift. The Xiaoguo Army is a strong army formed by Yang Jian, the son of today, in the third year of the emperor's reign, and the Xiaowei and Guoyi Army, and used it as the Imperial Forest Army to protect the Forbidden Palace. All the soldiers in the army were specially selected elite warriors, and each soldier was equipped with a good horse, a spear, a horizontal sword, a bow and arrow, and a bright light armor. Whether it is well-equipped or combat-powerful, it is only strong. The Xiaoguo army has always been the best in the world.

The Tiger Chick Battalion is an establishment in the Xiaoguo Army, and only the young children of the nobles and nobles of the court are recruited in the battalion. The reason is naturally to cultivate talents in this male army that is the crown of the world for the future selection of the imperial court. As soon as he entered the Tiger Chick Camp, he was almost destined to have a bright future. Therefore, every year, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty squeezed their heads and wanted to send their children to serve in the Tiger Chick Battalion. It's just that over the years, the number of places for the recruitment of the Tiger Chick Battalion has been limited, and the candidates are all hand-picked by Yang Jian, the son of heaven, which is destined to make most people unable to do so.

Although Li Jing was born in a family of eunuchs, his parents died early, and his family was really down. Although there is an uncle Han Baohu who is an official in the court and is highly valued by Yang Jian, after all, there is a relationship between them. If you talk about qualifications, it is not his turn to be selected into the Tiger Chick Camp, and now he is actually among the applicants, and there is no need to ask whether it is Yang Xuangan who has made a big contribution from it.

Because the strategy for entering the court has just been determined. Li Jing didn't hesitate to push back, but just raised his glass to Yang Xuangan with a glass of wine, and secretly kept this favor in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Guo and the other three were already full of wine and food, and Zhong Liquan suddenly smiled at Zhang Chuchen and said: "That girl, today the poor Dao and other students have been waited by you, and they can't teach you to work hard in vain." If the poor path is good, you should be walking the path of sword cultivation, but I don't know which one your master is?"

Li Jing remembered that in the future, Lu Dongbin, a pure yang immortal who was known for his swordsmanship, was still a disciple of Zhong Liquan, so Zhong Liquan's swordsmanship could be imagined. Zhang Chuchen learned a trick and a half from him, and it was also a great opportunity, so he quietly gestured to Zhang Chuchen.

Zhang Chuchen saw Li Jing's gesture and immediately understood. He replied respectfully: "Qiqi Dao Chief, the younger teacher is also a member of the Daomen, and the Dao number is clear and down. ”

Zhongli Quan suddenly laughed. sighed: "It turns out that you are the descendant of that little guy in Qingning, no wonder Poor Dao always feels that your qi breath is a little familiar!"

Yang Xuan was secretly surprised. That Qingning Daoist is a sword cultivator who has reached the peak of the Dan Cultivation, and he has been capped in the world when he has cultivated to the realm of the Dan. It's really a figure close to the top. His family also did a great favor to the Qingning Dao people by a coincidence, so that he was worshiped by the Yang family and protected the Yang family's commitment for a hundred years. How do you know that such a fairy-like master of the world has become a "little guy" in the mouth of the fat Taoist in front of him.

Zhang Chuchen was also stunned, and then his heart flashed, and he suddenly remembered a past incident that his master had told him before, and a look of surprise appeared in disbelief on his delicate face, and he said in a lost voice: "Could it be that you are the Zhongdao man who taught my master's swordsmanship back then?"

Zhong Liquan nodded with a smile and sighed: "It was more than two hundred years ago, when Qingning was still a teenage little Taoist boy, I didn't expect that now that little guy has a successor." ”

Zhang Chuchen hurriedly bowed in front of Zhong Liquan, and said: "Disciple Zhang Chuchen, meet the ancestor." ”

Zhong Liquan waved his sleeves, and sent out a soft force to hold Zhang Chuchen up, and said with some embarrassment: "About Qing Ning's scruples about poor Dao's face, he never told you in detail about the events of the year, at that time, Poor Dao was because he stole a gourd monkey wine that Qingning's little guy had worked so hard to pick from the mountains, and his hands and feet were not very clean, so he was caught by him, so he had to use a swordsmanship to pay off the wine debt." Therefore, although Poor Dao and Qingning have the fact of passing on their arts, they have no name of master and apprentice, so they should not call this 'master'. ”

If he is smart, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity that falls in front of him, and he is busy saying: "Although the disciple has been under the master for a short time, he often hears the teacher say that although he has not been fortunate enough to formally apprentice to the teacher, he has long regarded himself as a disciple of the ancestor in his heart. Today, since we are fortunate to see the dignity of our ancestors, I ask our ancestors to be gracious and take our master and apprentice into the door. ”

Seeing Zhang Chuchen's sincere words, and the fact that he is a rare one in the world, Zhong Liquan was a little moved. But Lao Tzu has always been very strict in selecting apprentices, and he has the heart to accept it, and it is inconvenient to make decisions lightly.

Seeing this, Li Jing had the intention to be a smooth man, so he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It is fate that Daoist Zhongli can meet this girl and apprentice one after another. And this girl is indeed an excellent embryo for practicing swordsmanship, why can't the Taoist fulfill her?"

Listening to Li Jing's persuasion, Zhong Liquan, who already had six or seven points of meaning, naturally would not refute his golden face, so he smiled at Zhang Chuchen and said: "Well, since Li Gongzi said Xiang, Poor Dao will officially take your master and apprentice under his command." These days, the poor Dao will stay in Li Gongzi's mansion to eat and drink, and when she has time, the girl will call your master to come and visit. ”

"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Chuchen bowed down with joy.

This time, Zhong Liquan did not stop it, and he received a big gift from Zhang Chuchen to pay homage.

After Zhang Chuchen stood up happily, he thought that Li Jing had said good things for him, so he quietly smiled gratefully. But Xuan thought that this kid of the same age as himself actually learned to call himself a "girl" when he spoke, and he was annoyed again, and glared at the other party with a smile.

Although Li Jing is a third-generation person, how can he figure out the thoughts of this little girl, and he can only sigh secretly for some reason: "Sure enough, it is a woman's heart, no matter how old or young she is." (To be continued......)
