royal robes

Chapter 14
"Father, it's a blessing or a curse for my younger brother to become a disciple of an eminent monk. Didn't we come to Chang'an because we hoped to find a master for our two righteous brothers? It's a good thing to find one now." Chai Rong could only persuade, but could not explain clearly.

Guo Wei nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will take Dong'er to visit another old acquaintance. If he is not willing to accept Dong'er as his apprentice... I can only go back to Kaifeng first. After all, I can't leave Beijing for too long."

In the early morning of the next day, Guo Wei bid farewell to Zong Xin first.Because Bu Xiangyang did not accept Guo Tong as a disciple, Guo Wei had to find a master for Guo Tong as soon as possible.And the time is urgent, Guo Wei is just complaining about being sick at home, this kind of thing won't last long, so he has to rush back as soon as possible.

When Guo Wei and Chai Rong left, Zong Xin discovered something. Guo Wei's mount turned out to be an ox that didn't look like an ox, a deer that didn't look like a deer, and a horse that didn't look like a horse. It wasn't famous at all.Chai Rong's mount is a black tiger, which looks very ferocious.

"Guo Xin...your name is so similar to my master. I will give you a Dharma name."

"Master~ You should have given a Dharma name when you were apprenticed to a teacher. I was still wondering, but you forgot." Guo Xin was full of depression.

Zong Dao said: "We all have the word 'Xin', which can be divided into 'Human Words'... The poem says 'Human Words, the setting sun is the end of the world', just pick two words from this poem, you go Is it okay to call it 'Ri Tian' from now on?"

"Master~ keep a low profile."

"Do you want to be called Ri Ya?"

Guo Tong curled his lips: "Master, do you have a proper name?"

"It took a lot of effort to come up with a poem. You have to choose from it. You choose one of 'Sunset' and 'End of the World'."

"Tianya." Guo Tong said depressedly: "At least it's like a personal name. What kind of peerless martial arts did Master teach me?"

Zong Xin said: "Tianya, you must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. No matter how powerful your martial arts is, you cannot be invincible. Therefore, I will teach you the four skills to protect your life."

I am interested in this topic, and it is indeed impossible to be invincible. If you encounter danger, it would be best to have a life-saving trick.

"Also ask Master to give pointers."

"Run away and beg for mercy, pretend to be a grandson, and become a teacher if you disagree."

A total of twenty people looked at Zong Xin with contempt. Except for Zhao Kuangyin and Tian Ya, even the eighteen Khitan martial arts understood.

"What if it's not okay to be a teacher?" Guo Xin asked curiously.

Zong Dao: "Then you have to come up with a unique move and recognize your father. At your age, no matter who you call your father, he has to consider whether he should kill you. But who is a martial arts master without any romantic debt? And a few years ago Who can remember clearly what happened? So as long as you call your father, the other party will definitely not kill you. Then, whether you find a chance to poison or sneak attack, there is always a chance to kill the other party."

Contempt, endless contempt.Is this really an eminent monk?How could he say such shameless words.

But this also makes sense. Who didn’t have some romantic debts when they were young?As long as the other person calls him daddy, he will try hard to remember which woman he had the baby with.No matter whether the other party dares to be sure or not, as long as he calls him daddy, he will survive.

Tianya is still a child between 8 and 9 years old, only two months apart from his second brother Guo Tong, they are half-brothers.Even an honest man like Guo Wei can marry two wives, and if he meets a slightly dishonest person, he will definitely leave a little romantic debt.Moreover, as long as a child calls him daddy, the other party will be shocked.Then carefully check the child's life experience, at this time there will be a chance to sneak attack...

"Master, I still want to learn some useful kung fu. I dare not say that the world is invincible, at least I don't need to call everyone daddy..." Guo Xin also felt that he was on the wrong boat, but he had already worshiped the master, and now he has no choice.

Zong Xin nodded and said: "You seem to have a very solid foundation. Let's learn some internal skills first. I will teach you the Nine Seal Changing Meridians method when I have time."

"Thank you, Master~"

"Let's make some preparations and get ready to go." Zong Xin was in a good mood. He accepted Guo Wei's son as his disciple, which would make things much easier in the future.And this matter has Bu Xiangyang to testify, and it will soon spread to the rivers and lakes.The most important thing now is to find a reason to meet Emperor Yin Liu Chengyou and provoke the relationship between Liu Chengyou and Li Shouzhen. Only in this way can Li Shouzhen be killed.

I asked Zhao Kuangyin before, and Li Shouzhen is indeed a treacherous minister. If Guo Wei hadn't guarded Kaifeng, he might have rebelled long ago.Li Shouzhen regards Guo Wei as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, as long as Guo Wei can get rid of Emperor Yin, it will be no problem.

Zong Xin bought mounts and weapons with eighteen Khitan warriors, each with a half-moon scimitar, the wooden bow and arrow were lost, and a dagger was hidden in the leggings.Although they are dressed as monks, the habits of this group of Khitan warriors have not changed, they still like machetes and big bows.

I originally wanted to go by water, but it has been raining a lot recently, and the Yellow River is soaring, and it is too dangerous to go by water.What's more, none of the eighteen Khitan warriors can swim, and there is no way out if they fall into the water.

After a day of preparation, the group set off to Luoyang.Chang'an is nearly [-] miles away from Luoyang. The road is high and the water is far away. I don't know when I can get there.The next stop is Huazhou, commonly known as Weinan because it is south of the Weishui River.

"It would be good to take the overland route. I don't know how many bandits there are along this way. It would be good if we could capture a few bandit dens." Zhao Kuangyin was very pleased. He took the overland route to make money and see the scenery along the way.

"Uncle Zhao, we are monks~"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "If you don't tell me, I will forget... After the robbery, I will take a look to see if there are any beautiful girls in the bandit's den, and take them away together, wash and cook during the day, and sleep at night. Don't think about it, you boy. Too young, at most me and your master will use it."

"What are you talking about?" Zong Xin suddenly said angrily, "Isn't it okay to snatch a few more beautiful girls? How can one be enough?"

"Right."

Although Guo Xin is young, he has been with his father Guo Wei since he was a child. He is righteous and upright. He can't believe that he actually became a disciple of such a monk.In fact, I had some regrets yesterday, and I don’t know if it’s too late to regret it now...

This line goes along the river, and there is a wide road beside the river. It is strange that there is not even a decent village on the side of the Wei River, let alone a small town.Until the sun went down, only a few scattered huts were seen, and there was no inn to stay in.

"It's really strange. There is not even a village on this road. Where have they moved?"

Zhao Kuangyin explained: "This is the south side of the Weishui River. If the Yellow River breaks its embankment and lives nearby, it is impossible to escape death. Therefore, the villages along the river are all on a higher terrain to avoid flooding. The terrain of the Central Plains is high in the north and low in the south, so there are very few villages on the south side of the Weishui River. , as long as there is a small town, it will be extremely prosperous, because it will never be flooded."

In this way, Zong Xin will understand, and this truth will be understood after careful consideration.Although the terrain of the Central Plains is lower in the south and higher in the north, not all places are like this. There are also places with higher terrain south of the Wei River, where people gather and are naturally prosperous.

The Weihe River is the largest tributary of the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, there will be no peace and prosperity today.

Northerners are not good at water warfare, so as long as they guard the Yellow River, they can sit back and relax. This is also the last resort.Even though the Khitan is powerful, if they want to cross the river, they are far beyond the sky.

"So you have to go to Weinan to have a hotel? Tonight you can only sleep on the street?" Zong Xin immediately opened the curtain and shouted at the Khitan warriors outside: "Sleep in the open tonight, you go to the surrounding area to hunt some game and come back. If it’s not good, at least you have to eat well.”

"There are too many..." I don't know who it is, I patted my horse's back, and there are a few hares hanging on it, and then I look at other people, all kinds of prey are hanging on the horse's back, it seems that I have already started to prepare up.

"It's pretty fast, find a place to settle down, and then roast these things to eat."

"Obey Master." X18
"Call me Master."

"Yes master." X18
Khitan warriors are accustomed to calling them master, and they cannot change their ways for the time being.Moreover, the Khitan warriors did not regard Zong Xin as a master, but a master worthy of entrustment, and they were not prepared to change their tune.Even if Zong Xin did not become a Khitan master in the end, if he could help him get information about his previous master, it would be more than just a life-saving grace.

The Khitans are nomadic people who originally made a living by hunting, and camping is not a problem. They immediately found a flat place, used thick and smooth leaves and branches as a bedding, and then built a bonfire.Before the carriage arrived, the Khitan warriors had already disposed of the prey and roasted it beside the fire.

When Zong Xin and his party got off the car, all the work was completed.

"These bastards are quite useful~" Zhao Kuangyin resisted the urge to call him a dog. This was Zong Xin's special request, and he could no longer refer to these subordinates as Khitan dogs.

Immediately, someone gave Zhao Kuangyin a look, but he dared not say anything else, and carried a few jars of wine from the back of the car into the crowd.These wines were specially prepared for them. Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin drank the wine from the gourd all the time, and it was almost inexhaustible.

This is the strangest thing about the eighteen Khitan warriors, the gourd can't hold much wine, the two of them have been drinking, the amount of alcohol must be too small, the two of them are actually quite enjoyable...

Eating barbecue and drinking wine, ten 78 martial arts are the worst, let them watch the night and take care of the horses, and the others sleep around the fire.The mountain road is rugged, and the speed of a carriage has to be taken care of, so the journey is not fast.

Chang'an is only a few dozen kilometers away from Weinan. If we travel for a day now, we should be able to reach Weinan tomorrow.So have a good rest tonight and speed up your trip tomorrow.

Suddenly, everyone sat up, and the eighteen Khitan warriors immediately drew out their scimitars and stared in all directions.These people are very alert when they sleep, and they will wake up even if there is a little trouble, let alone... such a huge number.
