Dao fruit.

"Master Hou knows me?" The young man was surprised, and then smiled freely, "So, it is quite normal for someone like Master Hou to know a mere name, how can you justify it with common sense. Click ↗small↗ and say, "

While speaking, this person clasped his fists again, and then solemnly said: "Sun Xun of the Sun family in the south of the Yangtze River, met the Marquis of Dingguo!"

After saying this, he didn't talk too much, let alone twitch, he got into the carriage straight away, and then said to Qiu Yan: "I, the book boy, came all the way together, and I hope Lord Hou can arrange a place for him."

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "Look at your waist, hips and arms, you are also a man of kung fu. You look weak, but in fact your strength is restrained. You must be a good rider. The post station in the county seat in front of you will ask for another horse." horse, come and give him a ride."

"Thank you, Lord Hou."

"Hmph! It's so hypocritical, it's really hard to guard against." At this time, Wu Meng also turned over and landed on the horse again. He was tall and strong, and when he landed in the air, his feet stepped on the carriage, so that the carriage did not shake at all. , sinking, reflecting the precise control of strength.

Sun Xun was not angry, he looked at Wu Meng and said with a smile: "Brother Wu seems to have a prejudice against Sun."

"Pretentious!" Wu Meng curled his lips, "The most disliked person in a certain family is the children of an aristocratic family like you."

"Brother Wu is really straightforward, but it's inevitable that one leaf will blind you." Sun Xun had just arrived, but he didn't see the slightest fear, and he didn't have much scruples when he spoke. It seemed that he was not at all afraid that what he said about Wu Meng would annoy Qiu Yan. "As I said before, Brother Wu, you yourself belong to a family, and as far as I know, you also have friendship with the children of the Bei family and the Tang family. They are also members of the family, so why can you get into the eyes of Dharma? Could it be that what you said is not your own contradictory?"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding air froze instantly.It was Wu Meng who narrowed his eyes, and if there was substance in his eyes, his whole body exuded a stern aura, which froze the surrounding air a lot.

"It seems that you know Wu very well. You didn't just investigate today. Even if you came here to wait for Lord Hou, you shouldn't expect Wu to accompany you. I don't know what your plan is! There are two good friends who belong to the Tang family and the Bei family, but because they are not from the direct line, they are not valued by the family, and they are congenial with me. This can only make me hate the family even more! You said that Wu is also from the blood of the family, but this is not true. That's right, although my mother also comes from a family, she was not taken seriously at home back then, and only after my father rose up, the snobbish eyes of the family paid attention to my mother."

"The family has been passed down for thousands of years. It has its own set of rules of survival. It is the same regardless of the north or the south. Everything it does is to maintain the continuity of the blood. It's just that in the eyes of others, it is inevitable that there will be some influence. This is also true." Sun Xun's expression remained normal. , seems not to be affected by the dignified air at all.

His body is thin.Although he was in high spirits, with Wu Meng's vision, he could still see it.This young master has not practiced martial arts, so he can't resist his own aura and aura with vitality and strength, but this usual expression is not deliberately pretending, not desperately resisting, the reason for this is because of his heart.

If the heart is firm and tenacious, it will not bring pressure or influence at all, because in the final analysis, the aura and energy are the manifestations of human thoughts influencing the thoughts of others.

However, if you are not affected, you can still feel it. Of course, Sun Xun understands why Wu Meng on the opposite side has such a violent reaction, so after talking about the aristocratic family, he immediately changed the subject and said: "However, Brother Wu, you also Don't get me wrong, I didn't deliberately collect your intelligence information."

Wu Meng sneered: "If you didn't deliberately collect them, how could you keep them in your pocket?"

At this time, Qiu Yan, who had been sitting by the side and watched Wu Meng and Sun Xun confront each other, said, "Maybe it is true what Sun Gongzi said, but what he said was not deliberately collected, it doesn't mean that he didn't collect it, but Said that not only collected you alone."

"Huh? What's the explanation for this?" When Wu Meng faced Qiu Yan, he looked the same as usual, but after careful analysis, he could still detect a ray of respect in the words.

Qiu Yan didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "The meaning of this statement is that Mr. Sun should have understood and dabbled in the intelligence and information of people from the world's aristocratic families. He is familiar enough with everyone, so what about one of them? Of course, it’s not deliberate.”

"What?" Wu Meng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then he looked at Sun Xun, seeing that the latter had no intention of refuting, subconsciously acquiesced to Qiu Yan's words, and couldn't help feeling a little shocked.

"There are so many aristocratic families in this world, does this Sun Xun know everyone?"

With this thought in mind, Wu Meng's gaze towards Sun Xun also changed slightly. Although he hated the aristocratic family, he still respected those who were truly capable among them, but there was not much change on the surface, as before. Still swearing at each other.

The sudden addition of Sun Xun and the book boy did not affect the progress of the whole team. After passing through a small town and adding a horse, they continued to move forward.

On the way, Wu Meng and Sun Xun were still facing each other, but as they talked, they rushed to ask Qiu Yan for advice. The difference was that Wu Meng asked more about martial arts, while Sun Xun focused on Knowledge.

These two people, one Wu Meng and one Wen, have completely different interests and temperaments, and conflicts are inevitable—Qiu Yan also discovered that although Sun Xun was very indifferent on the surface, he still had feelings for Wu Meng. Slightly hostile, unwilling to be compared by the other party.

However, although the two are hostile to each other, they are more respectful when facing Qiu Yan. This is because when they are hostile, they use words to suppress each other, and sometimes ask Qiu Yan for advice, but they don't. Qiu Yan can be asked about any topic, whether it is martial arts, military school, Confucianism, Taoism, or even the opinions of a hundred schools of thought, or even some questions about farmers and craftsmen, Qiu Yan can always explain things clearly in simple terms.

So, after arguing, the two of them admired Qiu Yan more and more, so that they both had other thoughts in their hearts.

This thought was finally made clear when they arrived in a village on the outskirts of the capital, and it was Sun Xun who made it clear.

"Following along the way, the students admired Lord Hou's knowledge very much. He is really a learned man, and his words and deeds are very reasonable. What the students have learned along the way is not much more than what they have accumulated in the past. I hope to serve Hou in the future. Lord around, always be taught."

The words were a bit cryptic, but the true meaning was not concealed at all.

"This man wants to worship Lord Hou as his teacher!"

As soon as Wu Meng heard Sun Xun's plan, he understood Sun Xun's plan, and anger welled up in his heart, because he also had the same thought in his heart, but due to various reasons, he couldn't say it out, but now he let the person who was putting on airs in his eyes Sun Xun took the lead, of course he was angry.

This anger surged up, and immediately broke through his reason, so that Wu Meng didn't ask other questions, moved his body, and came to Qiu Yan, knelt down directly, and then said: "I also hope that Lord Hou can take me under the sect , listen to teachings every day.”

He was more direct than Sun Xun, but this also forced himself to the point where he could not retreat. There was no room for maneuver. If Qiu Yan refused, he would immediately lose all possibilities. On the contrary, he was not as flexible as Sun Xun. , You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

Therefore, Sun Xun was not angry, and with a smile on his lips, his eyes fell on Qiu Yan, waiting for him to make a decision.

And Wu Meng was also aware of his own Meng Lang, and his heartstrings were tense. This rather casual temperament could not help but condense, waiting for the result, but the sweat on his head could not help but flow down.

"I have calculated..."

Fortunately, Qiu Yan didn't keep them waiting for long, and said directly: "The method of calculation is quite mysterious, but the foundation is also in reality. It is to judge the suitable person through details and compatibility. The result of my deduction at that time is You should have five disciples in this life."

After saying this, both Wu Meng and Sun Xun felt tense, knowing that what they said next was related to their own future, and it was also a direct reflection of the result of today's apprenticeship.

"Five disciples, doesn't that mean there are still two places left? I might be among them?"

Wu Meng's heart moved, and his already tense heart suddenly tightened a little bit. Although he is stubborn on weekdays, he is not deaf to the affairs of the world. Knowing that Qiu Yan already has three disciples.

But in comparison, after all, Sun Xun did not know clearly and comprehensively.

"The real disciples of Marquis Dingguo are Zheng Yun and Meng Sanyi. Hua She is said to be a registered disciple, but in fact there is no real entrance ceremony. It can only be said to be a rumor, so the number of disciples is There are three people left, so can I be one of the three?"

However, even if he knows more than Wu Meng, he still worries about the same thing, because two or three people are meaningless to a single person.

Of course, if another person told them that they had calculated that they could only have five disciples in a lifetime, then no matter whether it was Wu Meng or Sun Xun, they would all scoff at them, but it would be different if it was replaced by Qiu Yan. up.

Of course, if it wasn't for Qiu Yan, the two of them would never have proposed apprenticeship, let alone how many apprentices they would have.

But things have developed to this day, even people like Wu Meng and Sun Xun will inevitably worry about gains and losses, and hope that they are lucky enough to be one of the remaining places.

But what Qiu Yan said next disappointed them all.

"Among the remaining disciples, there are no two..."

As soon as these words were said, Wu Meng and Sun Xun were like deflated balls, their spirits sank, but then Qiu Yan's words rekindled their hopes.

"However, if this theory of cause and effect is really predestined by nature, life would be meaningless, but I will not stick to the amount of these five people!" (To be continued...)
