After spending a few days with Guo Songtao in Guo's mansion, Xiao Beiyou's impression of his new master became better and better; Guo Songtao was cheerful and cheerful, and he was a very good veteran to get along with; Guo Songtao had rich experience in warfare and was familiar with the art of war, and was a very old general worthy of learning from him; Guo Songtao cared about his apprentices and had a broad mind, and was a good master worthy of respect.

Xiao Beiyou and Guo Songtao discussed the formation, the art of war, and the battle, Guo Songtao was hearty and sincere, and discussed with Xiao Beiyou with an amiable attitude, he rarely took out the master's frame to teach the apprentice, he explained to Xiao Beiyou in an approachable way, Xiao Beiyou felt very cordial, he felt that Guo Songtao's method of educating his apprentices was completely different from Fang Liuhe's method, and it was also very different from Shi Taosheng's method, Xiao Beiyou felt that it was easier and happier to learn with Guo Songtao.

Xiao Beiyou thought that Guo Songtao was a famous general, and he must be very majestic when educating his apprentices, but what Xiao Beiyou didn't expect was that Guo Songtao was very low-key and gentle, he was like an old gentleman with a gentle temperament, not like a general.

In accordance with Guo Songtao's instructions, Xiao Beiyou read ancient classics such as "Laozi", "Mozi", "Han Feizi", "Lü's Spring and Autumn", etc., and read ancient military books, such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sima Law", "Sun Bin Art of War", "Wu Zi", "Wei Xuanzi", "Tang Taizong Li Weigong Asks Right", etc., learned the formation from the classics and the art of war, realized the true meaning of the formation, and compared it with the "Heluo Fangyuan Formation" taught to him by Guo Songtao, combined with the historical military books to learn the "Heluo Fangyuan Formation", Xiao Beiyou found out. The art of war taught to him by Guo Songtao contains very wonderful content, and the arrangement and breaking of the formation are original after Guo Songtao has studied many formations, and Xiao Beiyou feels more and more that his master's military science and formation skills are extremely profound.

Xiao Beiyou thought: "Maybe it is the profound education in military science and formation that makes the originally straightforward and refreshing Master Guo seem unusually gentle and tolerant in ordinary times. ”

Xiao Beiyou felt that he was very fortunate to have the opportunity to worship Guo Songtao as a teacher, and he was very grateful to Guo Huizhi and Xie Jiayao for introducing him to Guo Songtao and from Guo Songtao. Xiao Beiyou learned a lot. Moreover, Guo Songtao's knowledge of the art of war and the original "Heluo Fangyuan Formation" are rarely seen by people in the rivers and lakes, and they are also unfamiliar to the heroes in the martial arts. He had a very important idea. The formations taught to him by Guo Songtao are mainly applicable to war. However, there are very few formations involved in martial arts duels in martial arts, and Xiao Beiyou is determined to deduce the formations that his master taught him to use in wars to martial arts duels, and study a set of "Heluo Fangyuan Formations" suitable for martial arts.

Shaolin Temple has "Eighteen Bronze Arrays". Wudang has the "Zhenwu Seven Interception Formation", the Hengshan faction has the "Seven People Formation", etc., and the people in the martial arts also attach great importance to the formation, Xiao Beiyou feels that if he can figure out a set of "Heluo Fangyuan Formation" that is suitable for the martial arts and not just the battlefield, then he will make a very important contribution to the martial arts, and it will also be a great merit to maintain the justice of the martial arts.

Xiao Beiyou was worried that Guo Songtao was too old and too tired to stand it, he insisted that his master take a break at noon, he said to his master that he would continue to study in the afternoon, in the afternoon, he came to Guo Songtao's study earlier than the agreed time, he arrived at the door of the study, looked inside, Guo Songtao was already in the study, he hurriedly walked into the study, and said apologetically: "The disciple is rude, late, please forgive Master!"

"No, I can't blame you, you have come earlier than the appointed time, it is Master and I who came earlier, it's not that you missed the appointment, today Master got an important news, I think, you should be very interested, so, thinking that I will tell you the news as soon as possible, so I came to the study in advance. Guo Songtao said.

"Master, what is the news that makes you come to the study so anxiously to inform your apprentice, is it really so important?" Xiao Beiyou asked.

"This news should be very important to you, Master knows, you and Murong Yun launched an attack on the Police Division, and now is the critical time, in the morning, Master got a message, saying that the mysterious sect in the martial arts, the Tianzhu Sect, suddenly made a move on the two organs controlled by Shen Deyi two days ago, and they infiltrated the capital governor's prison, and nicknamed Shen Deyi's godson. They also infiltrated the headquarters of the Police Department and poisoned a murderous master named White-headed Leopard, which caused a panic in the Police Department, apprentice, do you think this news is useful to you?"

"This news is too important, Master is right, now is the critical period for the various factions to pay the police division, according to the apprentice's understanding, for the joint attack on the police division, the attitude of the various factions in the rivers and lakes is changing, such as the Yashan faction and the police division have an inseparable knot, they still have the idea of continuing to attack the police division, and some sects are actually just staying in words." Some sects are just waiting and waiting, waiting for the situation to become clearer, if the police division shows signs of defeat, they will have active offensive actions, if the other sects do not attack hard, they will also look at it, they will not do anything to set themselves on fire, what they are waiting for is to be able to take advantage of the fire and rob without great effort, and the preservation and expansion of power is their most important thing, therefore, with this action of the Tianzhu Sect, the strength of the police division will be weakened, which can make the people in the various factions in the rivers and lakes who are determined to attack more confident, and can make the wavering lean on the side of the alliance, It can also make the wait-and-see people make some efforts, the Tianzhu Sect's poisoning of Shen Deyi's people will make the people of the Metropolitan Governor and the Police Division feel frightened, and their actions will increase the weight of the balance of victory in tilting towards the side of the alliance's factions, which can promote the confidence of the various sects to defeat the Police Division, this is very important, Brother Murong must be very happy to hear this news, Master, thank you for telling this news to your apprentice in time!" Xiao Beiyou respectfully gave Guo Songtao a look.

"Between our master and apprentice, we don't need so many courtesies, the news is useful to you, which is very good, it shows that the master still knows something about you, from what you just said. Master feels that you take the affairs of the various factions of the alliance very seriously, and it is very good that young people dare to take on the responsibility in the martial arts, and the old man is very appreciative and supportive of you and Murong Chivalry's ideas and actions!" Guo Songtao said.

"Thank you, Master! With your support, the apprentice and Brother Murong will have greater confidence! In fact, you can accept Beiyou as an apprentice, which is also a strong support for us. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"However, you and Murong Xia should fully realize it. A coalition group that you have advocated for. In fact, there is no strong cohesive force, there is no common interest between the factions, and in fact it is a mess, you must be clear about that; The heads of the various factions that make up the alliance. Each has its own ideas. Only in this point of safeguarding the interests of all factions is the same, and in other respects, each head of the party has its own calculations. Some of the heads of the clan even have one thing in the open and one thing in secret, and they don't really want to be the enemy of the governor, you and Murong Chivalry have been active for a long time, but there are very few heads who really stand up and openly support you, which can't help but cause you to think deeply. Guo Songtao continued.

"Thank you, Master, for the reminder, Brother Murong and I will definitely remember your teachings. Xiao Bei lobbied.

Guo Songtao continued: " Third, due to the various sects in the early days of the alliance to carry out some attacks on the police division, and now the capital governor and the police division have been attacked by the Tianzhu Sect, Shen Deyi is in a passive state, and it seems that he is a little powerless, but you can't despise Shen Deyi, he controls the capital governor, which is an important institution in the inner court, and the police department is an institution that investigates before the emperor goes out on patrol, and guards when the emperor goes out on patrol, both institutions have great power, and now Shen Deyi is maneuvering with the martial arts factions according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, but if they are really in trouble in the future, Shen Deyi may unmask and arrest people indiscriminately in the name of protecting the emperorIn addition, his own martial arts are very high, his 'Nine Yin Broken Heart Palm' is very powerful, and he also has several subordinates, such as his godson Mu Jinbao, who is a little stupid, but his martial arts are very high; Huang Shengjie and other martial arts are not weak, you must also pay special attention to Shen Deyi and several of his assistants are cunning and vicious, they are full of bad water, unscrupulous means to achieve their goals, you must be careful, you can't lose your vigilance because of their temporary passivity, you must not be too optimistic. ”

"Master is right, in fact, the apprentice has already felt in the hands of the people of the police department that their martial arts are vicious and weird, and they are very terrifying, before, I heard from the people of the Tianzhu Sect that Shen Deyi's martial arts are extremely high, and they are very weird, and they are very difficult to deal with, as for that 'herbalist', Beiyou is the first time to hear it, I don't know what he is from?" Xiao Beiyou said.

"This 'herbalist' is also difficult to deal with, he turned out to be a physician in the army, he has high martial arts, and he knows strategy very well, and is good at training young killers, I heard that he also accepted Mu Jinbao as an apprentice not long ago, and helped Shen Deyi train a guard team, this team is now led by Mu Jinbao, responsible for defending the head of the capital governor and the police department, this 'herbalist' does not fight for power, does not seek profit, but attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, knows kindness, he is now desperately supporting Shen Deyi, and he is also a difficult opponent, you should pay attention to him. Guo Songtao analyzed.

Xiao Beiyou said: "Thank you Master for your advice, listening to your careful analysis, the apprentice Fang is surprised, you are free to live in the Guo Mansion, play chess, and study, but how can you know so much about the current situation in the rivers and lakes, which makes it difficult for the apprentice to understand, why is this?"

"The old man is just idle, because he is curious and cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the opinion just now is only for you and Murong Chivalry's reference, and it should be the opinion after a whim during chatting. ”

Xiao Beiyou thought, "Why did Master tell me so many things about the rivers and lakes today? And the tone of his speech was like a special order to me, did he guess that I was going to leave the Guo Mansion to help Brother Murong?"

From the moment he learned that the people of the Tianzhu Sect had attacked the Governor and the Police Division, Xiao Beiyou's heart was not at peace, he felt that the contest between the various factions in the rivers and lakes and the Police Division had entered a very critical period, and now, the Tianzhu Sect had made a move, and the various factions of the alliance would be more confident, it was a good time to strengthen contact and urge the factions to strengthen their attacks, and he had to do his best to assist Murong Yun, so Xiao Beiyou had the idea of leaving the Guo Mansion in his heart, and this was indeed guessed by Guo Songtao.

Guo Songtao said: "The battle between the rivers and lakes may become more and more intense, the intensification of the martial arts dispute seems to be inevitable, you and Murong Chivalry are young and vibrant, you are very ambitious and capable, it is also fortunate that there are young people like you in the martial arts, you have also learned the formation with the old man for a while, the master has already taught you the 'Heluo Fangyuan Formation', you can also try to set up and break the formation in the future chivalrous actions, and the master believes that you will carry forward this formation!"

"Master, your speech today is very strange, as if you are finally instructing your apprentice, which makes the apprentice feel very strange, why is this?" Xiao Beiyou asked.

"Hahaha, good disciple of Beiyou, you actually understand it in your heart, and you ask knowingly, although the scope of Guofu is not small, but your ambition is in the martial arts, your name is 'Beiyou', you should know the story of Beiyou Dapeng, you should fly farther, and you must have the great ambition of Kunpeng to spread your wings and fly high!" (To be continued......)
