The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 17 New fan Chai Rong
"Tanzhou hermit? Mr. Siyou?"

Chai Rong thought for a while and looked at Shi Kuangwei: "Has Shi Jieshuai ever heard of it?"

Shi Kuangwei shook his head like a rattle: "I have been in Hexi for a long time, how can I know the people in Youzhou?"

Chai Rong looked at Zhang Yongde again, and Zhang Yongde also shook his head.

Zhang Yanchao said with a sneer on his face: "The strange man from Youzhou and the hermit from Tanzhou must have been fabricated by this boy out of thin air! Little Hu Nu is talking nonsense and wants to beg General Chai to save his life. Don't be fooled!"

Zhu Xiu shook his dirty round-neck linen shirt and said with squinting eyes: "You are an ignorant person who does not deserve to know the name of my mentor! Zhao is a scholar, so he has heard the name of my mentor!"

Zhu Xiu winked at Zhao Pu.

"Zhao Zheng, is what he said true?" Chai Rong asked.

Zhao Pu smiled bitterly and said bravely: "Zhu Shaolang once recited a poem. It is said that it was written by Mr. Siyou. This poem is simple and elegant. Come to think of it, a person without great wisdom cannot write it! Therefore. Therefore, I feel that this poem Mr. Siyou must be a hermit master with real talents and knowledge!"

The implication is that this person exists by default.

Chai Rong said with great interest: "Zhao is engaged in learning and is rich in five cars. Since he can win your favor, this poem must be extraordinary. You might as well recite it for me to listen to!"

Zhao Pu took the lead, cleared his throat, and immediately used his characteristic smokey voice to sing out slowly with full and passionate emotions: ""Lime Song": A thousand hammers and ten thousand hammers have carved out a deep mountain, and the fire will burn like nothing. Don’t be afraid, keep your innocence in this world.”

"Lime Groan"

Chai Rong chewed every word silently, and felt more and more that this poem is not a gorgeous qijue, but has a simple and majestic beauty.

In particular, the attitude of life shown in the sentence of being high-spirited, proactive, and not afraid of difficulties and obstacles coincides with him!

"It's really a good poem! It can't be written except by those with high ambitions!"

Chai Rong clapped his hands in praise and recited it several times in a low voice, becoming more and more fond of it.

Shi Kuangwei picked at his black nostrils. He was from Shatuo and came from a martial arts family. It would be good if he could read all the Chinese characters and read military reports. It was really difficult for him to appreciate poetry.

Pan Meiniu's eyes widened and she was confused. Is this poem really that good?
The eldest lady also asked Zhu Xiu to write a calligraphy, saying that she would take it back and give it to Mr. Fu.

Zhao Pu was obsessed with it, shaking his head and reciting it all day long.

Why is it that now Chai Yashuai is high-fiving after hearing this?

Pan Mei was a little depressed. It turned out that I was the illiterate!

Although Liu Chengyou was uneducated and incompetent, he had studied the Four Books and Five Classics under Liu Zhiyuan's strict discipline since he was a child. He could barely tell the difference between good and bad. He immediately heard that this poem was indeed extraordinary and looked surprised.

Zhang Yanchao is a martial artist through and through. Seeing Chai Rong's face full of admiration, he was a little dumbfounded.

Zhu Xiu clenched her fists, wishing she could jump up and hug Zhao Pu and kiss her hard.

Zhao Pu smiled meaningfully, and his eyes seemed to say, I can only help you so far.

Chai Rong looked at Zhu Xiu again, and saw that his clothes were rotten and dirty, his bald head was slightly weird, his dirty face was decent-looking, his eyes were bright and determined, his body was thin but he stood upright, and although he was young, he had an air of integrity and integrity. .

Chai Rong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Since you are working in the North Academy of Khitan, how can you become a disciple of Mr. Siyou? Is it possible that this master also works for the Khitan people?"

Zhu Xiu had already prepared a draft, and the inspector said calmly: "My mentor never came out of the world. Khitan nobles came to ask for advice many times, but were turned away. Later, in order to avoid harassment, they moved many times. The student accidentally met his mentor in Tanzhou, and his mentor Knowing my life experience, he felt pity for me, secretly taught me knowledge, and taught me to protect myself and wait for the opportunity to escape south.

Although Mr. Wang is a man of great talent, he is seriously ill and unable to go south. One of the great regrets in his life is that what he has learned in his life cannot be used by the country. He should report it to the king and bring peace to the people. Alas~~~"

Zhu Xiu slightly raised her head and looked at the sky, sighing, her throat was slightly choked, and tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes.

Chai Rong was in awe, cupped his hands and said: "You are indeed a distinguished gentleman! So Mr. Siyou taught you all he has learned and ordered you to wait for an opportunity to break away from the control of the Khitan and go south to serve?"

"Exactly." Zhu Xiu raised her cuffs and wiped away her tears in a slightly pretentious manner.

Zhao Pu lost his mind for a moment, and now even he believed Zhu Xiu's words.

Chai Rong said: "You just said that there is a way to defeat the Khitan? What is it? If it is really effective, I will not hesitate to reward you and even recommend you to the court!" Zhu Xiu lowered his head and thought anxiously: "Students don't want rewards, and they don't want to serve as officials. As an official, I just want General Chai to take me by his side and serve as a clerk with swords and pens in front of the tent!"

"You want to surrender to me?" Chai Rong smiled, this request was a bit unexpected, "Since you are a member of the Fu family, I think it's better to send you to the command of Fu Jie Shuai!"

Zhu Xiu scratched his bald head and said with a sneer: "Well, Mrs. Fu actually said that I am a member of the Fu family, and she just wanted to save my life to avoid being harmed by traitors. In fact, the student did not worship the Fu family."

"." Chai Rong was stunned and quite speechless.

"Little bastard! You're full of lies!" Zhang Yanchao scolded heartbrokenly.

Liu Chengyou said sadly: "Brother Chai, please don't believe his lies! The Khitan soldiers are just outside the city, watching eagerly. What can he do to defeat the enemy? This man once threatened to take my life. Brother Chai might as well leave him to me!" "

Zhu Xiu was in a hurry and said quickly: "I can make a new type of firearm, which is amazingly powerful and can scare the enemy! Give me five days and I can make the finished product!"

Chai Rong looked at him, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't wait for five days, you only have two days at most!"

"Okay!" Zhu Xiu agreed without thinking, "From now on, all the fire pots will be allocated to me. I also need a large amount of saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, tung oil, cotton cloth, and earthen pots, twenty or not fifty people. hand!"

Chai Rong smiled slightly, now he somewhat believed that Zhu Xiu really knew how to make firearms.

"Zhang Yongde, from now on, you follow him and listen to his arrangements!"

The white-faced young general Zhang Yongde accepted the order with his fists clasped, his cold eyes fixed on Zhu Xiu, as if to warn him not to play tricks.

Liu Chengyou said angrily: "This man has disrespected me with his words, and he is a Khitan slave. How can I forgive him so easily? Brother Chai, do you really want to protect him?"

Chai Rong said indifferently: "The young man's spirited words, why should His Highness be on the same level as him? Madam Fu is willing to take him in, which shows that he is quite good-natured. Let him try it out in two days."

Chai Rong looked at him deeply, turned around and climbed onto the tower.

Shi Kuangwei grinned at him and followed him back to the city.

Liu Chengyou waved his sleeves and left bitterly. Zhang Yanchao hurriedly followed and led the left guard away.

Zhu Xiu let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His life was finally extended for two more days.

"Do you really know how to make firearms?" Pan Mei patted his shoulder with her big black hand.

Zhu Xiu flung her away angrily, like a wronged little daughter-in-law with eyes full of resentment.

"Ms. Fu is in bed recovering from her injuries. The two of us are busy with military affairs. I accidentally forgot that you are still in prison! Haha~ I'm sorry~"

Pan Mei laughed heartlessly, and Zhao Pu smiled apologetically.

"Ms. Fu, are you okay?" Zhu Xiu snorted.

Zhao Pu said: "The injury has stabilized, it only hurt the heart, I'm afraid there will be sequelae in the future."

Zhu Xiu sighed, the army was in danger and the battle was fierce, it was lucky to be able to save his life.

Zhang Yongde said expressionlessly: "Don't gossip, how do you plan to get started?"

"What the hell!" Zhu Xiu muttered, and handed over to Zhao Pu and Pan Meigong: "You two have a heavy burden on your shoulders, so you should go back to Xicheng to take care of military affairs as soon as possible. I don't need to worry here. See you in two days!"

Watching Zhu Xiu and Zhang Yongde leave, Zhao Pu and Pan Mei looked at each other.

"Is this kid really good at making firearms? His master, what about Mr. Siyou, is he really that powerful?"

Pan Mei stroked the curly black beard on her chin, feeling that Zhu Xiu was unreliable.

Zhao Pu smiled bitterly: "I can't figure out whether this guy's words are true or false. Let's see how he communicates in two days."
