Chapter 44 The old boxer joins the regiment and goes to the state capital

Sun Li gasped and said, "Brother, wait a minute, I just learned that there is someone who wants you to meet him."

"who?"

"I just heard that Master is back."

Zhou Tong is now nearly sixty years old. He has been teaching martial arts to people in various places for most of his life. He has also served as a boxing gym teacher in the shogunate of many important people.

When Zhou Tong came to Dengzhou to teach boxing, Sun Li studied with Laba for three months. He also saw that his long hands and feet should be used with powerful short weapons, so he passed on a set of double whips to him.

Sun Xin later became Zhou Dong's disciple at Sun Li's request and taught him for more than a month. Although the time was short, what he learned was quite profound. In Sun Xin's impression, 60 to 70% of his kung fu was in this way. Enlightenment was achieved in more than a month.

Unlike other disciples, Sun Xin and Sun Li were discovered at the end of their youth when they were learning boxing from Zhou Tong. At that time, the two families were so poor that they could not afford any kind of training, but Zhou Tong magnanimously accepted the two of them. Although they only lasted a few months as apprentices, they were indeed taught the ability to settle down and make a living. In the end, when Zhou Tong left Dengzhou, he specifically told them not to send them away to practice.

This means that Sun Xin and Sun Li are the true disciples of Zhou Tong. According to the rules of the world, it goes without saying that if Zhou Tong becomes famous in the future, but if Zhou Tong has no food for one day, just rely on his kindness to pass on his skills and run away. When they arrived at their home, they wanted to treat Zhou Tong as their own biological father until the end of his life.

The arrival of Tiandijun's master Zhou Tong in Dengzhou is no different from the arrival of their parents in Dengzhou. When Sun Xin heard that his master had returned to Dengzhou, Sun Xin had to prepare gifts immediately and come to see him.

Sun Xin, Hu Sanniang and Xie Zhen Jie Bao hurriedly rode back. Because it was too late and they were afraid of disturbing their master's rest, they stayed at Sun Li's house for a day. The next morning, the two brothers went out to buy many gifts. Then they took the gifts and walked through the wind and snow to the inn.

According to the records of Water Margin, a few years later he would go to Zhujiazhuang as a spear and stick instructor, and then show his prowess in the three attacks on Zhujiazhuang in Liangshan, knocking Moyun Golden Wing Ou Peng off his horse with one hammer, and Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, one of the strongest fighters on Liangshan Mountain, fought for more than 20 rounds, and finally used an ambush to capture Qin Ming alive.

If it hadn't been for Sun Xin, Sun Li's Dengzhou Army used the cover of his brothers as undercover agents to enter Zhujiazhuang and open the door to Liangshan, Zhujiazhuang led by the iron stick Luan Tingyu would not necessarily lose to Liangshan.

Zhou Tong sent away several wealthy officials who came to invite the master, and then returned to the house.

Sun Xin thought to himself that no wonder Luan Tingyu became so capable later on. It seemed that he had done well in the chores in the past few years.

The master was indeed in a good mood. Looking at the disciples who had arrived, he put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders in this room, so I will tell you a good thing."

Sun Li hurriedly walked over, and the white-faced man smiled and said, "You two brothers are here too."

Zhou Tong pressed the child's arm and touched his shoulder blade. He nodded with satisfaction and told the rich man who sent the child some benefits of the child. His words were full of praise. The rich man was smiling, thinking he was going to Send the child to Zhou Dong's family to learn some boxing.

Although the old man is old, he is still in good spirits. Because of his travels, his body and bones are much stronger than those of Taigong Hu and Zhu Chaofeng, who are also warriors but are already old. His shoulders are broad and his back is broad, and he is even as tall as an ordinary man in his thirties or forties. The level of an aged man.

"Then Wangjiazhuang Baozheng came to visit again and again, speaking sincerely. In addition, during this period of time, I was thinking about boxing theory and thought of a place where I was going to be enlightened, but it was always as elusive as a layer of paper. I just wanted to settle down and think carefully, and there was

Such a place is quite convenient, and I finally accepted it in the past two days."

Everyone fell silent and looked at the master standing in front.

Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, many disciples in the room started talking.

Sun Li stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master is in a good mood today."

When the two squeezed into the room, they saw Zhou Tong surrounded by several people who looked like rich men, looking at the bones of a child.

The two brothers gave the gift to the junior brother who was serving them, and stood by the room waiting obediently.

Another Water Margin character.

Being able to run errands for Zhou Tong's subordinates is not a privilege that everyone has. For example, they are both direct disciples. When Zhou Tong left Dengzhou, he had no intention of taking Sun Xin and Sun Li with him. Obviously, their martial arts understanding was better than that of Luan Tingyu.

Still a little worse.

The door of the inn was bustling with people. Zhou Tong taught disciples in Dengzhou for two years and had at least dozens of disciples. After all, even a registered disciple like Sun Xin, who was a junior, was already nearly twenty years old. In addition, these disciples and disciples brought

The children's family members, this time Zhou Tong came to Dengzhou to visit him, had already packed the entire inn.

Although Zhou Tong's reputation is true, he still needs to rely on apprentices and teaching skills to support himself.

Sun Li and Sun Xinyan both nodded. When asked, Luan Tingyu had been following Zhou Tong all over the world in the past few years. She was Zhou Tong's most intimate disciple.

Before Sun Xin came, he also learned about Zhou Tong's life carefully. His master Zhou Tong was a bit like a collection of historical facts and romance novels, and was not as legendary as in the romance. Although Zhou Tong in this time and space was known as a hero, he usually acted like a hero.

Chivalrous things, but firstly, it hindered people's vision at that time, and secondly, he was just a reckless man who only learned martial arts and didn't read many books. He couldn't do anything as a great chivalrous person as in the legends of later generations.

The country is for the people.

Sun Xin vaguely recalled this person's name from his memory, Tiebang Luan Tingyu, a rather masculine nickname.

Hearing this, Luan Tingyu smiled and said: "This time, a big village owner in Dengzhou invited Master to come to the village to form a Baojia regiment, and he also had to recruit many teachers. Just after entering Dengzhou City, several wealthy households came to see him.

My own disciples are learning guns and sticks, and they have gained many new students, how can Master be unhappy?"

"I went to Wangjiazhuang to see it. It occupies a large area with complex terrain and requires a lot of manpower. Wang Baozheng of Wangjiazhuang and I have negotiated the terms and will go there with five disciples.

, every disciple works as a teacher, and is given a salary of fifteen taels a year by the village, including food and accommodation, and is given two new sets of clothes and three strings of money every year during the New Year!"

A white-faced man as tall as a white jade tower saw them and stood in the distance to greet them.

"There are more than a dozen apprentices I have taught in Dengzhou who have been registered, married, and personally taught. Although you all have different levels of martial arts, you have also received some teachings. It is rare to say that three or five people can't get close to each other.

, Today I received a letter of appointment from Wangjiazhuang outside the city, saying that Wangjiazhuang outside the city wants to build a Baojia."

Fifteen taels a year is not much for an official like Sun Li, but it is quite a lot for ordinary people. It is enough to buy ten acres of land, not to mention that for the next year, he can be by his master's side day and night asking for help.

, my own martial arts will definitely improve a lot.

Many of these martial arts disciples are just a little better than others. Many of them are just idle men in Dengzhou City. If they have the opportunity to earn so much money, they will naturally be interested.

The older descendants just liked the feeling of being respected by everyone in the house, and Zhou Tong was also happy when he saw everyone's reaction.

His eyes glanced below for a while, and soon fell on his young apprentice Sun Xin who had entered the room.
