Martial Cultivator

At dusk, Erhu came to the door of the yard with a tired face, but he did not knock on the door immediately. Instead, he patted the dust on his clothes and wiped away all the fatigue on his face. Then he knocked on the door and said, "I'm back." ”

Chunyue heard the noise and quickly ran to open the door, with an excited look on her face, "Brother, Mr. Chen is here."

Erhu was stunned for a moment, then looked inside and saw two people sitting in the yard. One of them knew him, and the other didn't.

He smiled, feeling a little happy, walked in quickly, looked at Chen Chao and said with a smile, "When will the young master return to Shendu? How can we let the young master come to us? It's our turn to find the young master."

He had also inquired about Chen Chao before, and what he learned was that Chen Chao had not returned to the capital of the gods. As for what happened in the subsequent court meeting, it was too far away from him, and even if he wanted to know, he had no way of knowing.

Chen Chao didn't take it seriously and didn't go around in circles. He quickly explained his purpose. Then Chen Chao pointed at Wen Yue and said with a smile, "Maybe in addition to making swords, this cheap master of yours can also teach you how to practice." ”

Erhu had intended to become a monk before, but Chen Chao didn't nod at that time. Apart from knowing that Erhu was not suitable to be a martial artist, the other thing was that he really didn't want to accept a disciple at such an age. After all, he thought he was idle. If you don't live there, you won't have time to teach your disciples.

Hearing that there was such a good thing, Erhu looked at Wen Yue expectantly, wondering if he should just kneel down and kowtow to him.

Wen Yue stood up, looked at Erhu a few times, then walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and kicked the young man's legs.

"My bones are still strong. Come with me. You may not be able to make a sword, but you can be an ordinary craftsman. As for how far you want to practice swords, it all depends on luck." Wen Yue said with a serious face. .

But Chen Chao could still easily see a hint of joy in this guy's eyes.

Chen Chao sneered in his heart, the young man just didn't have enough city power and was not pretending enough.

Erhu looked happy at first, and then looked at Chen Chao with some embarrassment. Chen Chao smiled and said, "Don't worry, this guy comes from Jianqi Mountain. Don't worry about his sword-making skills. You just have to practice swordsmanship with him. He may not be a good master." "

Wen Yue turned his head and looked at Chen Chao, but stopped talking.

Chen Chao waved his hand, "If you don't create trouble, you will be number one in the world."

But when he said this, Erhu relaxed a lot, and after giving Chunyue some instructions, he was about to follow Wen Yue out.

Chen Chao was walking behind the three of them. When he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly turned to look at Chun Yue and said softly, "If you are bullied in Shendu, come to me. Over at Zuowei Yamen, mention my name. There will be people who can help, don’t be embarrassed. No matter whether you are on the left or right, your duty is to maintain the stability of the City of Gods. Of course, the stability here also includes you.

, it’s all within your responsibilities, don’t think you’re troubling anyone. "

Chunyue originally wanted to refuse, but now she nodded after hearing Chen Chao's words.

Chen Chao continued to smile and said, "If you want to find me privately, go to the academy and have a look. There is a small courtyard by the south lake. If I were in the capital of the gods, I would probably be in that place, but I won't be able to stay for long. I will go north soon." "

"Going north?" Chun Yue asked curiously, "Young Master is going to the border?"

Chen Chao nodded.

Chun Yue said with some worry, "I heard there are many man-eating monsters over there, sir, please be careful."

Chen Chao smiled casually, "There are demons, and I also have a knife."

…

…

The autumn rain is getting denser and denser, and the weather will last for a day or two. God has already seen it getting colder and colder. More and more people are buying charcoal for the winter, and the time to rush to the north is getting shorter and longer. It's approaching, but it's destined to be freezing cold and snowing over there by now.

There was a banquet that day, which was also hosted by the second prince in the imperial city to see off these young monks. The post was sent to the academy early, two copies, but Xie Nandu had no interest in it and declined politely. Chen Chao was actually not too happy either. However, there was news from the second prince that it was okay not to participate, but he had to go to the palace. The second prince wanted to meet Chen Chao.

Chen Chao thought about it and finally agreed, so he boarded Zuowei's carriage in the evening and headed for the imperial city. However, the autumn rain continued, and the rainwater hitting the carriage had a different flavor.

The driver of the car was still Weng Quan. Song Lian actually wanted to get his nephew closer to Chen Chao, consciously or not. His subtle thoughts were self-evident.

However, before going out this time, under the instructions of his second uncle and immediate superior, Weng Quan talked a lot less, which made Chen Chao a little uncomfortable. After all, the brother in front of him was more talkative than anyone he met. Not available.

Even Yu Xiyi, who had already talked a lot, had to accept defeat in front of Weng Quan.

Chen Chao couldn't help but sigh, "Weng Quan, you have grown up."

Weng Quan was originally concentrating on driving. When he heard these words, he was agitated and asked with some doubts, "What's so big?"

Chen Chao was speechless and didn't say anything.

The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of the palace city. When Chen Chao stepped out of the carriage, naturally a palace servant came over to hold an umbrella. It was not Li Heng, but an unfamiliar little eunuch.

But think about it, according to Li

With Heng's identity, it is impossible for him to do these small things.

Chen Chao arrived early, and the other young people had not left yet. This was also one of Chen Chao's thoughts. After meeting the second prince, he did not plan to attend the banquet, but returned directly to the academy.

The little eunuch was not tall enough. When he was holding an umbrella for Chen Chao, he tried his best to lift his hands up, but it still blocked Chen Chao's sight. However, he did not have the slightest intention to think about himself. In the autumn rain, he did not need long, and he was alone. Drenched all over, Chen Chao smiled and took the oil-paper umbrella, and asked with a smile, "What do you call me, little father-in-law?"

The young eunuch was about to speak when he suddenly heard Chen Chao ask, and soon became a little aggrieved, "Commander Chen is going to file a complaint? But it is indeed my fault."

Chen Chao tilted the oil-paper umbrella in his hand toward him and said with a smile, "Don't pretend to be pitiful, little father-in-law. If you really want to, I'll go tell that Eunuch Li Heng."

The young eunuch chuckled and then said, "I've heard that Commander Chen is a good man and would not do this."

Chen Chao smiled and said nothing.

The young eunuch said, "My name is Li Shou, and Mr. Li Heng is my master."

What he said was honest.

Chen Chao walked forward and asked casually, "So your master arranged for you to pick me up?"

Li Shou nodded and said softly, "Master said that Commander Chen is a very good person. You should go and meet him. If not, try to make him look familiar."

Chen Chao smiled. He could guess a little bit about Li Heng's arrangements, but it was hard to say whether he had completely guessed it. However, Chen Chao didn't care, either Li Heng or His Majesty the Emperor. They are the best people in the world. Among this young generation, except for Xie Nandu who can get through a few tricks with them, I might as well forget it.

"It seems that your master has passed on his mantle to you. You have a bright future, and you will have to ask your little father-in-law to take care of you when the time comes."

Chen Chao didn't bother to think about these sometimes bright and sometimes dark arrangements. If he really wanted to think about it, he could just go back and tell Xie Nandu.

Li Shou muttered, "I am just a little eunuch, how can I help Commander Chen."

Chen Chao didn't say anything, and the two of them just walked forward. Not long after, they saw a familiar figure in front of them. It wasn't a familiar figure at all. It was the second prince whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

Li Shou stopped and was about to turn around. Chen Chao handed him the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and said with a smile, "Hurry up and change clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Afterwards, Chen Chao walked forward in the rain, and after a few steps he arrived not far from the second prince, just outside a main hall.

"I have met His Highness."

Chen Chao bowed slightly.

The second prince smiled broadly, "Before

When I heard that Commander Chen had returned to the capital, I wanted to meet him. But now that Commander Chen is a busy man, it is so difficult to even meet him. "

Chen Chao raised his head, smiled, and said nothing.

The second prince glanced at the sword hanging on Chen Chao's waist, but quickly looked away and said with a smile, "Commander Chen is going to the north this time to show off the prestige of our country. I just wanted to meet Commander Chen before leaving." , not for anything else, just for strength.”

As he was talking, someone was already bringing drinks.

Chen Chao took the wine glass and said softly, "As a minister of the Liang Dynasty, it is natural for me to contribute to the country. I hope I can live up to His Highness's expectations during this trip north."

The second prince nodded with a smile and drank another glass of wine.

Then the two chatted a lot. Finally, the second prince looked at Chen Chao and asked with a smile, "I heard that the general had met Commander Chen before he left the capital?"

Chen Chao glanced at the second prince and said, "General, I would like to thank you for your support of the younger generation."

The second prince also nodded and said with a smile, "The general has spent his whole life serving the country, and he really can't find any stain on his body. That imperial brother is really lucky to have such a good father-in-law."

Chen Chao remained silent again.

The second prince looked at Chen Chao without saying anything, but his eyes were meaningful.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, except for the sound of rain.

I don't know how long it took, but Chen Chao cupped his hands and said, "If your Highness has nothing to do, I will leave."

The second prince did not nod or refuse, but looked at Chen Chao with a smile, "Commander Chen, do you really have nothing to say to me?"

Chen Chao glanced at the second prince and shook his head.

The second prince smiled lightly, said nothing, turned around and left.

Chen Chao turned around at the same time.

Although we have never walked together on the same path, at this moment, it seems that we have gone our separate ways.

Chen Chao didn't feel that he had any regrets. No matter how severe the storm was in the future, he would just carry it.

But after taking a few steps, he saw Li Heng.

The head of the chamberlain looked at Chen Chao and said with a smile, "It is not easy to make a choice. It requires a lot of courage."

Chen Chao looked at Li Heng and said with a wry smile, "If it's possible, I really don't want to choose anything. I'm just a little tired."

Li Heng said calmly, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and naturally the more tired you will be."

Chen Chao said nothing.

Li Heng smiled and said, "Come with me, His Majesty wants to see you."
