Since the collapse of Daliang in the former Chinese dynasty, the world has experienced more than two hundred years of chaos. Warlords have dominated each side. Barbarians in the northern steppes have risen one after another. They have gone deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains to participate in the carving up of China. There are countless countries, large and small. Years of melee have devastated the lives of the people and the population.
The decline was known as the Hou Liang Liang Rebellion in history. Until sixty years ago, the world formed a confrontation between the north and the south. Emperor Jiang of Da Qi unified China with his martial arts and martial arts. In the north, the Helian clan rose up and powerfully unified the various tribes of the Hu people. In the north, according to the Central Plains
After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the two countries were still at war, and Da Qi barely maintained a balance of power.
This place was originally Bailian Village in Huishan County. At that time, a general from the Yang family fought with Jiang Taizu, achieved military merit, was awarded the title of General Ningyuan, and obtained a hundred acres of land in his hometown. Twenty years ago, during the great war between Qi and Zhou, the three Yang families
The brothers joined the army one after another with outstanding military exploits and great favor from the emperor. The three brothers successively became generals. The second brother Yang Zheng rose to the top in just ten years, from an ordinary lieutenant to commanding the three armies. He was awarded the title of second-rank general to assist the country and was awarded the championship.
At that time, the land of Huishan County was tens of thousands of hectares, and half of the land in Huishan County belonged to the Yang family. From then on, this place has been called Jiangjun County and Jiangjun Village. However, the Yang family also paid a heavy price. The eldest brother Yang Fa was the first to die in the battle, and the third brother Yang Zhan died in the battle.
In the battle, three limbs were severed and his body was poisoned. His second brother Yang Zheng also died of serious injuries five years ago. This He Qizhou is the adopted son Yang Zheng brought back from the border town in his last battle. It is said that he is a general of the Qi army.
's orphan.
The good times did not last long, and the Yang family prospered but declined. Three years after Yang Zheng's death, the scandal first broke out in the court that Yang Zheng and Yang Zhan's brothers had been captured by the Zhou army; then some people suspected that Yang Zheng and his former subordinates were the largest in Qi State.
The traitor He Qingshan cut off his connections and communicated secretly; it turned out that Yang Zheng was assassinated and rewarded by the emperor when he left the country for the last time. The truth was finally discovered. It turned out that Yang Zheng secretly led troops to rescue the old army, which caused the loss of Qi's troops. The situation in the court was fierce.
The emperor was furious and deprived Yang Zheng of all the rewards he had received. However, considering that Yang Zheng was dead and that the Yang family had been loyal for generations, he no longer implicated the family.
Coincidentally, there was another famous official in Jiangjun Village ten years ago, named Liu Jin'an, who has now reached the rank of Deputy Zuodu Censor. He is deeply favored by me and has received constant rewards. All the fields and properties that were deprived of the Yang family have been returned to him.
This is a large official residence at the foot of Bailian Mountain. The right half is the Yang family, and the left half is the Liu family. Each has dozens of courtyards. Fortunately, the Liu family thinks that the Yang family's luck still exists, and the Yang family is also afraid of the Liu family.
The official reputation is growing day by day, but both sides are getting along well.
Most of the young men from the two families are working as officials and studying abroad, and most of the family members are women and children. The two families are also happy to bring their children together to study privately and practice martial arts. As the Liu family becomes more and more powerful, and the Yang family becomes more and more declining, those who go to school together
Children naturally have distinctions between high and low. In order to avoid being implicated in Yang Zheng's case, the Yang family even moved He Qizhou's mother and son out of the family tree two years ago. The adults still take their face into consideration, but children's words are unscrupulous.
He Qizhou was naughty by nature and was looked down upon by the children of the Liu family in his private school.
Two years ago, the Yang family's property was redistributed. Because the eldest son, Yang Fa, had three sons and two daughters, and was prosperous, he got 70% of the land and real estate; the old man kept 20%; and the third son, Yang Zhan, got a small two-room house on the far right at the foot of the mountain.
and a hundred acres of farmland; the second family had no title to the land, so Mr. Yang thought about the pity of orphans and widowed mothers, so he allocated a hundred acres of farmland and a farmhouse for livelihood, and allowed Xiao Qizhou to attend a private school in the name of the Yang family.
Study. Yang Zhan admired his second brother the most. After being rescued, he had a surly personality. He also disliked the younger brothers in his eldest brother's family. He often cursed and did not want to live in the ancestral home. He would rather bring a soldier to accompany him.
The attendants lived in thatched cottages in the mountains. However, Yang Zhan was relatively close to Qi Zhou's mother and son, and donated his two houses and fields to them. Qi Zhou's mother He Lian was also a person who understood etiquette, and took the initiative to take care of his third uncle.
food, clothing and daily necessities.
This thatched cottage in the mountains is actually very particular, because the thatched cottage contains a large number of martial arts classics that were excerpted and compiled by the Yang brothers. In addition, the Yang brothers made countless enemies to protect the classics and Yang Zhan, who was seriously injured. Therefore, the thatched cottage
At the entrance, Yang Zheng personally arranged the Quanzhen formation, which was based on the Eight Diagrams and coincided with the extremely brilliant Yin-Yang and Five-Element formations. Except for a few Yang family disciples who had mastered the trick, ordinary masters had no trace at all, but naturally it was difficult for him to do so.
Lu Baogen, the Quanzhen elder. No wonder Xiao Qizhou believed that he was a natural master and decisively became his disciple.
Before Xiao Qizhou was four years old, he was known as the star of the moon, and he was not only highly praised within the clan, but also the officials of the state government would step on the door of the family on his birthday. Even the governor and the governor would take advantage of the opportunity.
When Yang Zheng returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he came to give gifts and visit. He praised the smart and fair little Qizhou endlessly and wished he could have children with him. Unfortunately, after one night, all the distinguished guests went to Liu's house, and groups of servants all went to Liu's house.
All scattered.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and from luxury to simplicity, but He Lian's mother is not a simple figure. She was brought home by Yang Zheng together with Qi Zhou. It is said that she took care of Yang Zheng in the army in the border town.
The maid, the two had been in love for a long time. Yang Zheng had a heroic temperament and got married while he was in the army. He Lian did not leave a son or a half for Yang Zheng, and only regarded Qi Zhou as her own. After the Yang family split,
He Lian sold some gold and silver, and distributed half of the land to a group of servants in the family. She also gave the farmhouse and ten acres of rice fields rewarded by the old master to the housekeeper Lin Yan. She did not keep any servants and hired people.
Cultivate the remaining 100 acres of land, take care of the housework, and take care of my uncle.
Lin Yan was extremely loyal to Yang Zheng. After following He Lian to Jiangjun Village, he married a local woman and gave birth to his son Lin Chuan. He still regarded his family as the Yang family's guards and servants, treating his wife and children as equals.
He Lian and her son would scold and scold him for the slightest disrespect. Lin Chuan also went to a private school as a Qizhou scholar.
Beside the waterfall, in the hut, four people were sitting around a low table. Yang Zhan and Taoist Baogen were sitting in the north and south respectively. To the east was an old man in his sixties, tall, with gray beard and hair, holding a gray robe.
The cattail fan has a gentle face and is named Huangquan. To the west is He Qizhou's mother He Lian. She is dressed in coarse cloth and has a simple wooden hairpin to hold her roughly pulled hair. She is slightly thinner and has a delicate face. Wrinkles are gradually rising at the corners of her eyes.
There was a hint of perseverance in his big eyes. Xiao Qizhou ran to call He Lian and then went to do his daily homework - meditate under the waterfall.
"Third uncle, I still don't worry about Zhou'er practicing martial arts. Maybe he can enjoy a peaceful life here." He Lian seemed to be a little choked.
"Second sister-in-law, you also know Qi Zhou's ambition. He is by no means a creature in the pool. A good man must take responsibility." Yang Zhan looked at the Taoist again and said, "Brother Lu, that boy's condition is really like this."
Is it bad?”
"You are right. I checked Xiao Qizhou's physique when I came here. The twelve regular meridians are extremely strong. Unfortunately, the eight extraordinary meridians are too strong. It is difficult to connect to one of them before the age of twenty! Fortunately, you have been able to connect with me every day for the past two years.
Let him meditate and adjust his breathing under the waterfall. His flesh, bones, heart and lungs are much stronger than ordinary people, and when he pulses, he can endure what ordinary people cannot bear."
Lu Daoren then said: "Brother Yang, I think although your injury has stabilized, the remaining poison is difficult to remove. Do not get angry or drink alcohol!"
"Then I might as well just die!" Yang Zhan snorted coldly: "Have you gained anything in the past two years?"
"We made a long circle from north to south and basically killed everyone we knew. Although those guys from the Jiang family were suspicious, they never found any evidence. Secondly, the movement would be too loud, so they didn't dare to act rashly. The clues
It’s all broken, it’s so fucking frustrating!” Lu Baogen said again: “I may be very busy in the future. The master brother has left, and there seems to be a lot of confusion in the temple. I can stay here for ten days at most to teach Qi Zhou.
If you have time to teach a new set of boxing, if you don’t go back, the Quanzhen Sect will really be sold by the bastards of those two factions!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Master. It's his good fortune that Zhou'er is favored by you. We, the Yang family, don't know what we can do to repay you," He Lian said.
"Yes, I see that the immortal is seriously injured internally. It is better to stay here for a few more days, first to nurse the injury, and secondly, to teach the young master more," said the old man surnamed Huang.
Lu Baogen suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. With the heroic spirit of the Yang family, the deeds of poor people are really not worth mentioning. Mr. Huang has really good eyesight and deserves to be called the "Medical Sage of Xiqi". I will wait for about ten days."
This minor injury will be mostly healed, so I’d like to thank Senior Huang in advance.”
"Ma'am, this little girl has a merciless request."
"Ma'am, just say it's okay"
"Little Qi Zhou vaguely has the temperament of his adoptive father. He wanted to join the army and serve the country at a young age, and he also learned to be loyal. I ask the real person not to reveal his life experience until he has learned a lot."
"Well, what Madam said is absolutely true. The little guy is also a pitiful person. I will teach everyone what I have learned. God's law is clear. Our master and apprentice will definitely rectify the name of the Yang family." Lu Baogen patted the armrest of the bamboo chair hard.
, but his wretched face was full of righteousness, and Jier asked again: "Madam, it seems that Xiao Qizhou has become a private man, how is his literacy now?"
He Lian said: "Zhou'er is a smart child. I have been teaching him how to read since he was three years old. He is already familiar with the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic, so he can't learn anything in private school. He just skips classes here and there, always wanting to learn from him.
Mr. Huang rode his horse to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt, but I don’t know how many times he was scolded by me.”
"Well, that child is really smart. I have started to teach him classics and history, but he is clamoring to learn the art of war and strategy, so I have to coax him. If he can't learn classics and history, he won't teach the art of war or take him to collect medicine.
In terms of knowledge, he is now over seven years old, so he must be at the level of those who have been in private school for four to five years. The Liu family, brother and sister, are also outstanding, but even though they are one or two years older than Zhou'er, they should still not be as knowledgeable as Zhou'er." Huang Quanpo.
To feel proud, Nian Xu said.
"That's very good, General Yang. I know that your family has copied countless martial arts classics. You can let him read them first. Later, he will have a clear pulse and learn with twice the result with half the effort!"
While he was talking, He Qizhou, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, opened the wooden door and rushed in wetly, shouting: "Uncle, the water is very heavy today, but I still moved a foot inside, and it's not even ten feet away from the middle."
