Chapter 409 Disciple, gift, first meeting
On the second day, after Zhao Tong took Yue Fei to see little Zhao Xi, they went to the martial arts field.

Naturally, there is no need to compete in foot combat, the main thing is to compare soldiers immediately. The two fought for several rounds. Zhao Tuo found that Yue Fei's martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds compared to a few years ago.

He said with a smile: "Junior brother, this gun, I am afraid that there are few opponents in the battle."

Yue Fei said: "Senior brother, please don't praise me, my younger brother should get carried away with his complacency."

Zhao Tong shook his head and said, "What's the point? People say you have to become famous early. Junior brother, haven't you ever thought about taking part in the imperial examination?"

Yue Fei thought about it: "Not at the moment, my younger brother feels that his literary talent is average, and his martial arts are still insufficient, so he needs to practice more frequently."

Zhao Tong nodded, people like Yue Fei have their own way, he doesn't want to interfere and impose his will on the other party, that will only kill the other party's growth.

Take Han Shizhong, for example. The night before the army set off in Suzhou, Zhe Kecun came to meet him. Zhao Ta talked with him for more than an hour, and finally let him go. He did not force him to recruit him, but rewarded him with a large sum of money. silver jewelry.

Han Shizhong already knew that when he was robbed by Xin Xingzong of Bangyuan that day, it was not Zhe Kecun who met by chance, but Zhao Tun told Zhe Kecun to pay attention to him, and then he was found. Although he didn't know why Zhao Tun favored him, he was summoned again For the reward, I am naturally grateful.

At this moment, Han Shizhong had not yet met Liang Hongyu. Originally, when Tong Guan's squadron returned to the court, he led the Western Army to the Jingkou of Runzhou and summoned prostitutes to have a banquet. Liang Hongyu and other prostitutes came to serve, and they recognized Han Shizhong at the banquet.

Because Han Shizhong was worried about his future, he seemed depressed alone amidst the cheers and drinks of many generals, which attracted Liang Hongyu's attention.

Liang Hongyu was a kabuki, but she was handsome and heroic, not vulgar. Three generations of her family were generals in the south of the Yangtze River. She had practiced kung fu since she was a child. The female relatives were dispatched to Jingkou as camp prostitutes.

However, she is an anomaly. She can dance a sword and walk a rope. She has supernatural powers, can draw a strong bow, and is sure to hit every shot. She is also proficient in calligraphy, which is extremely rare among women. This naturally attracted Han Shizhong's attention, and then the two of them communicated attentively. , cherish each other, and finally become a family.

Zhao Tang didn't want to stifle their growth path. After all, his family was still trapped in Tokyo, and he couldn't give Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Xiaowu and other future famous generals a space to practice, so that they could open their eyes and gain experience, so they didn't do much. What solicitation is just a good relationship.

At this moment, Zhao Tun and Yue Fei changed their weapons to compete again. Zhao Tun took the King Yu's spear, and Yue Fei saw that the spear was heavy, so he went to get a double-sided painted halberd. "Ping-pong-pong" hit together again immediately.

After a while to rest, Zhao Tun sat on the stone pier and said, "I forgot to tell my junior brother that I recently accepted a disciple."

Yue Fei wondered: "Senior brother, recruiting disciples is a big deal, why hasn't the outside world heard about it?"

Zhao Tong smiled and shook his head: "We didn't hold a banquet to celebrate, we just went through the ceremony and performed the master-disciple etiquette."

Yue Fei was puzzled and said: "Senior brother is a little too low-key, this is another happy event, there is no reason not to celebrate, I don't know which family's children it is, but now it is in Tokyo?"

Zhao Tong said: "The name is Gao Chong, he is a descendant of Xungui, I will call him to show my younger brother later."

Yue Fei scratched his head and said, "This should be my nephew. It's a pity that I don't have any greeting gifts with me. I'll go outside in a while to see if there is anything suitable to buy as a gift."

Zhao Tong shook his head and said, "What kind of meeting ceremony, junior brother doesn't need to be so polite."

Yue Fei said: "If you want it, if you want it, since you are an elder, how can you not give a meeting gift?"

Seeing that he was serious, Zhao Tang said: "This kid doesn't like other things, he only likes to play with knives and guns. It's hard for junior brother to buy weapons outside. I have some good blades in my inventory. Junior brother go choose one Give it away."

Yue Fei hesitated: "Isn't that taking advantage of senior brother again? And it doesn't mean that this is a gift from senior brother?"

Zhao Tong rubbed his chin: "Since Junior Brother thinks so, it seems like he should leave some money."

Yue Fei said embarrassingly: "Although it's good, it's still taking advantage. Brother's accumulated weapons are common things. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy one if I wear them all on my body."

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "That's a lot of nonsense. Junior brother, come with me."

The two said as they walked, it didn't take long to arrive at the arsenal of the palace, and there were not too many things in it, only a few dozen.

Most of these weapons were items from Taizong's arsenal that came out of the palace when Zhao Tao left the palace to open his mansion. A small part of them were war-torn items collected during the battles between the Huaihe River and the Liangjiang River.

He did not move out all of Taizong's arsenal in the palace, but took out the ones that were intact and still usable. The remaining ones that were improperly preserved and of little value were left untouched.

As for the two battles against Wang Qing and Fangla, not only the battlefields were searched, but also the local warehouses were searched, and some good things that caught their eye were brought back.

Yue Fei looked left and right in the storehouse, touched this, held that, he couldn't put it down, Zhao Tuo said: "Junior Brother, if you like anything, just choose one."

Yue Fei blushed when he heard this, he just shook his head vigorously, and said: "Although I look happy, it's not practical for me, thank you brother, I won't choose."

Zhao Tong smiled and said nothing. After a while, he saw Yue Fei pick out a dark golden copper whip.

This whip is made of copper and gilt, is solid, and has 18 knots in total. It looks simple and elegant, and it seems to be quite old.

Zhao Tun recognized this copper whip, it was something from Emperor Taizong's arsenal, at that time it was written on the side album that it was Yang Xingmi's weapon.

Yang Xingmi, formerly known as Xingmin, was a general in the late Tang, Spring and Autumn and Five Dynasties. He was once named King of Wu. According to rumors, he could lift hundreds of catties and travel hundreds of miles a day. He was a fierce man.

This whip was made after he was named King of Wu. It is made of excellent materials, it is rare wind-polished copper, and the outside is gilded. Not to mention the weapon, it is extremely valuable as an object alone.

"Brother, that's all!" Yue Fei weighed the weight of the copper whip in his hand, and said, "It won't be too heavy, right?"

Zhao Tong bared his teeth and said happily: "It won't sink, it won't sink."

Gao Chong is born with divine power and is extremely powerful. Why should he be afraid of sinking?I'm afraid it won't be able to play without the weight.

Afterwards the two left the arsenal, and Zhao Tuo watched Yue Fei trot back to his room to get his burden, and then went to the accountant of the palace to pay the gift money. There is only one layer of cloth left.

Then in the afternoon, Zhao Tang thought about getting someone to call Gao Chong, but unexpectedly, before sending someone out, the housekeeper came and reported that Gao Chong and Zhao Gou had come together.

The two were waiting in the martial arts arena, and soon saw Gao Chong, Zhao Gou, Zhao Mo, Zhao Fen, and Fu Jin walking over with Zhao Hu'er.

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "How could it be such a coincidence that you, Gao Chong, met them again?"

Gao Chong said: "Master, that's not it. It was Zhao Gou who came to my house to look for me and said that he wanted to come to Master's place. Last time, the marksmanship that Master taught me was not well studied. My disciple also came to invite Master. So we got together.”

Zhao Tun glanced at several people, You Qi glanced at Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou felt hairy, and said, "Second brother, what's wrong?"

Zhao Tun smiled faintly, and nodded to Yue Fei next to him: "Let me introduce a guest to you, this is my junior brother Yue Fei, named Pengju."

Gao Chong rolled his eyes, stepped forward and bowed down, calling him Shishu.

Those few were all stunned, not knowing where their second elder brother appeared as a junior.

Yue Fei hastily helped Gao Chong up. He knew that Gao Chong was an honored queen, but he didn't know if he had a title, and it was hard to ask him at this moment, but he felt that his family was hard to be worshiped, so he hurriedly took out the gilded copper whip Do a meeting ceremony.

Gao Chong took the golden whip and looked at it like it. This is a weapon for horses. It needs to be calm and mighty. Moreover, the material of this whip is not ordinary, and the workmanship is also fine. It is a treasure when you touch it.

Gao Chong thanked him again, and Yue Fei helped him up again. Then he looked at Zhao Tao, then at Zhao Gou and others.

Yue Fei is white, so he must be polite to princes and daughters like Zhao Gou.

This is no different than Gao Chong and Zhao Gou. Gao Chong has the hereditary title of founding duke, and the noble class is a very complicated group, which is inextricably linked with the royal family, so Gao Chong does not observe any etiquette, even They are still playing and making trouble, and they won't talk too much if they are seen by others, but Yue Fei is different.

Zhao Tong thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to introduce them one by one. Then he started with Zhao Fen, then Zhao Gou and Zhao Mo, and finally Fu Jin and Zhao Hu'er.

Yue Fei greeted everyone generously, and everyone looked at him curiously.

Zhao Gou pretended to be old-fashioned, and said: "Pengju, since you are the younger brother of the second brother, you don't have to be so polite. If you have time, you can pass on my skills. The second brother is very stingy and refuses to teach me martial arts. Climb a senior brother and call him."

Yue Fei didn't know what he meant, so he hurriedly looked at Zhao Tan, who waved his hand: "Don't listen to his nonsense. He is not good at writing or martial arts. He will know how to talk in a day."

Zhao Gou said: "Second brother, this is your mistake. You don't teach me, and don't let others teach me?"

Zhao Tong said: "The sect has its own rules. If you want to learn martial arts, just go to the Yuquan Hall and become a teacher."

Zhao Gou said: "The current masters in the Yuquan Gym are not good, they are all putting on airs... Hey, fifth sister and thirteenth sister, what are you two looking at?"

Just watch Fu Jin look at Yue Fei from time to time, and then whisper something to Zhao Huer, Zhao Huer also looked at Yue Fei, and then covered his mouth with his hand, the two whispered.

Seeing this, Zhao Tun frowned: "What are you two doing? Whispering, isn't it impolite?"

Zhao Hu'er saw that Zhao Tun was angry, so she opened her mouth and said, "Fifth Sister said, Yue, Junior Brother Yue..."

She didn't know how to address Yue Fei, so she imitated Zhao Tun and called her junior brother.

Zhao Tun's lips trembled, but he said nothing.

At this moment, Fu Jin covered Zhao Hu'er's small mouth, and said with a flushed face, "Second Brother, I said Senior Brother Yue..."

She didn't know how to address him either, it's not appropriate to call him Mr., it's impolite to call him by his name, and she doesn't know how the other party behaves or what to call him, so she can only call him Senior Brother according to Zhao Tama's relationship with the other party.

"I said Brother Yue's two eyes, one is bigger and the other is not as big..." At this point, Fu Jin lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing to get into the cracks in the ground.

She has never said such impolite words, but the fact is that, Senior Brother Yue has two eyes, one is big and the other is a bit small.

Zhao Tun's eyebrows twitched when he heard that, Yue Fei was indeed like this, but he was not born with it. He also asked about it before, it was a fault of his eyes falling unevenly when practicing archery and aiming.

In fact, he always squints his eyes, which is also a fault left over from practicing arrows. Once he enters the state, his attention is too concentrated, and he doesn't care about the consequences of the practice method.

Yue Fei's eyes can be recorded in history. During the peace talks in Shaoxing, Webster passed by Linping on his way back from the Kingdom of Jin to the Song Dynasty, and asked one by one the famous generals of the Song Dynasty who were often talked about in the Jinying at that time, and said, "How about throwing Han Wu?"

The following replied: "I have resigned from my post and changed my title to Duke Tan."

Wei Shi was silent for a while, then asked again: "How about General Xiaoyan?"

Then he replied: "Yue Fei has died in prison."

Webster was very angry with Zhao Gou. He didn't talk to Zhao Gou for a long time. He thought about what happened in the Kingdom of Jin and planned to become a monk.

As for Po Han Wu and Big Big Eye General, these are what Jin soldiers often call them in the army. They are even known to Jurchen folk and market people, and naturally Wei Shi and others also know them.

Zhao Tong looked at Yue Fei and smiled and said: "It's all caused by falling arrows while practicing. Junior Brother Yue's eyes are not called big or small eyes, but dragon and phoenix eyes. If I often squint now, it's also from practicing arrows, then it's called red and phoenix eyes." !”

When everyone heard this, they laughed together. Fu Jin looked at Yue Fei's eyes again and couldn't help but laugh.

Yue Fei scratched his head and laughed.

Then Zhao Tun held a banquet, all of which were fruit wine. Yue Fei didn't want to sit down because of his dignity, so Zhao Tun pulled him to sit down, Zhao Gou said: "Pengju, sit down, I want to ask you about martial arts."

Everyone was young, and after a while, they changed their glasses. The fruit wine was not very intoxicating, but it made people a little excited.

Zhao Gou and Gao Chong kept arguing about the skills of guns and sticks, while Zhao Mo asked Yue Fei mysteriously: "Brother Yue, can you beat my second brother?"

The corner of Yue Fei's mouth twitched, he shook his head and said, "I can't beat it, I can't beat it."

Zhao Yanze and Zhao Tong were full of bitterness, saying that it was difficult to open a bookstore. They didn't expect that it was so difficult to make money, and they had too many things to worry about every day.

Zhao Tong said indifferently: "Otherwise I won't do it?"

Zhao Fu hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "Do it, do it, anyway, idle is idle, I don't believe that even a bookstore can't manage well."

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask General Lu."

Zhao Chu said: "I didn't ask him, but he doesn't understand either. He wants to steal from other bookstores."

Zhao Tun raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then he has some ideas."

Zhao Fen said: "I think he wrote it down in the booklet when he came back, and he didn't bother to ask, so let him take care of it."

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "Since he is the shopkeeper, he will naturally do these things. You are the boss, you can grasp the overall situation and make big decisions."

"I..." Zhao Yan felt a little guilty when he heard this: "The big idea... Okay, I know the second brother."

Zhao Tun nodded, and then looked at Fu Jin and the two, who only cared about eating and drinking, and didn't look at him.

Zhao Tong thought for a while and saw that it was still early outside, so he couldn't help but said, "How about going out for a walk later?"

Zhao Huer immediately raised her head after hearing this: "Okay, okay, I'm going to Daxiangguo Temple!"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Then why don't you eat quickly and leave as soon as you finish eating."
