Chapter 15 The pinnacle produces false support

  Yonghefang.

  There is a long street behind Shengyun Building, which could originally accommodate two carriages running side by side, but at this time the small street is full of people coming and going, which seems a bit crowded.

  Because there are all kinds of food stalls on both sides of the street every night, the hawkers keep shouting, and the pedestrians stop and go, attracted by the delicious food on the street.

  Although it was completely dark, every vendor’s cart was hung with lanterns, and the pillars of the shops behind were also hung with lanterns, lighting up the whole street.

  The sound is noisy, but full of life, and in some ways very beautiful.

  Zhao Yuantu, Xu Ling, Su Yun, and Zhang Tianwen are walking around the snack street.

   Several other apprentices felt that they could not fit into their circle, so they consciously found a reason to leave.

  Zhao Yuantu and Xu Ling already held snacks bought from vendors in their hands, and ate them as they walked.

  Compared to Zhao Yuantu's rough eating style, Xu Ling is much more elegant, but both of them look very interested.

   On the other hand, Zhang Tianwen, smelling the smell of oily smoke in the air, fanned the air with a disgusted expression.

  Although Su Yun was not so obvious, she frowned slightly.

   "What's the matter with Han Zhao? It takes so long to go to the bathroom?" Zhang Tianwen said impatiently, "He didn't think he left first, did he?"

  He would never come to a place like this, but Han Zhao suggested to visit, and both Zhao Yuantu and Xu Ling agreed, so naturally he couldn't say anything.

   Unexpectedly, halfway through their stroll, Han Zhao suddenly said that he had a stomachache and needed to go to the bathroom.

  Zhang Tianwen originally wanted to invite Zhao Yuantu to have fun, and at the same time find an opportunity to send Su Yun and Xu Ling away. After all, they are likely to compete with him.

  But Zhao Yuantu and Xu Lingfei wanted to wait for Han Zhao to come back, so they stood there for half an hour.

   "No." Zhao Yuantu said inarticulately while eating: "It's not a long time to go to the latrine."

   "Big brother." Xu Ling blamed, "Don't talk about such things when you eat, okay?"

   "Sorry." Zhao Yuantu grinned.

  At this time, a tall and handsome young man was trotting towards the four of them. He was wearing a standard black exercise uniform, and it was Han Zhao who had just vented.

   "Junior Brother Han, you are finally back, the skewers are getting cold!" Zhao Yuantu handed the mutton skewers in his left hand to Han Zhao.

  Han Zhao took it with a smile.

  Xu Ling ate fried chestnuts in sugar, and muttered, "What's wrong, Junior Brother Han, you're so happy, did you pick up money?"

   "Indeed, I picked up more than a dozen copper coins when I left the hut." Han Zhao nodded, embellishing the harvest of this trip a little.

   "That's really lucky." Xu Ling smiled. He didn't expect this Junior Brother Han to be in such a good mood. He was deliberately provoked by Fang Hongyun before, and now he looks like he's okay.

   "Huh~" Su Yun glanced at Han Zhao, and also picked up the copper coins at the door of the hut.

   "This skewer is really delicious!" Han Zhao bit the mutton skewer, his mouth full of oil. Today he really saw how rich the rich people in the inner city really are.

   Zhang Tianwen ate forty taels of silver for a meal.

  Fang Hongyun said a few words to him, and he paid more than ten taels of silver for mental damage, which made him want to be scolded a few more times.

   "Junior Brother Zhang treated guests just now, so it's my turn this time. Everyone can eat whatever they want, and I'll pay for it." Zhao Yuantu pointed to the food stalls all over the street.

   "I'm not polite." Xu Ling inserted the straw into the top of the Huojing persimmon and sucked it.

   "Me too." Han Zhao didn't stop talking.

  Zhang Tianwen and Su Yun are naturally very face-saving, but they didn't eat a single bite along the way, obviously not interested in the food at these roadside stalls.

  The five of them strolled around for a while before preparing to go home.

  Before leaving, Zhao Yuantu was about to go with Han Zhao, but was stopped by Zhang Tianwen, and the two talked alone.

   When Zhao Yuantu returned to the martial arts hall, he found Lu Yi lying on the wicker chair in the yard, looking at the moon.

   "Master, you haven't rested so late?" Zhao Yuantu stepped forward, took out a paper bag from his arms, and offered it with both hands: "Master, these are the fried melon seeds I bought for you, and they are still hot!"

   "You go out to eat good food, why don't you bring me some sunflower seeds for the old man?" Lu Yi said angrily.

   "This is me." Zhao Yuantu shrank his hands in embarrassment.

   "Okay, don't give it to me! It won't taste good when it's cold." Lu Yi stretched out his hand and snatched the melon seeds from Zhao Yuantu.

   "Don't be complacent if you break through, it's just the beginning! Starting tomorrow, come to my room every day after lunch, and I'll teach you the fundamental diagram comprehension skills of Shaking Mountain Fist."

   "Yes, Master!" Zhao Yuantu, a tall man of 1.9 meters, stood in front of Lu Yi with his head bowed like a child.

   "I haven't gone back to rest early, I'm full of alcohol."

   "Yes!" Zhao Yuantu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve as if he was about to receive an amnesty, saluted Lu Yi respectfully, and hurriedly ran towards the east wing.

   "Really." Lu Yi shook his head and laughed.

   As a martial arts master, he has never tasted delicacies from mountains and seas, but it is very interesting to tease his apprentices. The kid like Han Zhao is too smart to be amusing at all, but the big apprentice is still fun.

   Early the next morning.

  Han Zhao went to a roadside stall to eat more than a dozen rice dumplings, and then went to the martial arts hall to practice.

  Lu Yi reminded him yesterday that he still needs to pay attention.

  As soon as he walked to the street where the martial arts hall was located, he noticed several ornately decorated carriages parked at the door, all of which had family emblems printed on them, and at first glance they belonged to big families in the inner city.

  Han Zhao walked into the martial arts hall, and saw several middle-aged people nodding and bowing around Zhao Yuantu, insisting on inviting him to have morning tea.

   Zhao Yuantu looked very embarrassed, but after Lu Yi spoke, he followed.

  When Han Zhao passed by, he still had a wry smile on his face, obviously not used to it.

  'This is really called Three Years in Hedong and Three Years in Hexi. ’ Han Zhao said in his heart.

  【An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold can buy an inch of time. 】

  Han Zhao directly ignored the prompt.

   I just sighed in my heart. The bone training level and the blood training level, one is the middle level, and the other is the upper level close to the top level. They really are very different.

   After saluting to Lu Yi, Han Zhao walked towards the inner courtyard. When he walked to the middle aisle, he noticed Li Fei's figure in the corner of the outer courtyard.

  The other party was bare-chested, exposing muscular muscles, and was beating the heated sand in the iron pan with both fists.

   "Brother Li, good morning!"

  Han Zhao was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and greeted Li Fei.

  Obviously, Li Fei had given up on Duanyue Saber Technique and chose to switch to Shaking Mountain Fist. It seems that Zhao Yuantu's breakthrough stimulated him.

  He is almost twenty-five years old. Shaking Mountain Fist and Duanyue Saber are complementary martial arts, but the difficulty of the former is much lower. He still hopes to break through to the level of blood training by switching to training now.

  After all, he has good aptitude and comes from a big family in the city. His comprehensive conditions are much better than Zhao Yuantu's.

  Li Fei raised his arm, wiped the sweat off his face, and smiled at Han Zhao: "Morning, Junior Brother Han."

  After speaking, he settled down and continued to practice.

  Han Zhao entered the inner courtyard, Xu Ling, Su Yun, and Zhang Tianwen were all inside.

  Seeing Han Zhao walking in, Zhang Tianwen showed a rare smile, stepped forward and said, "Junior Brother Han, from today onwards, you are the one who will practice duel with me."

  Hearing the schadenfreude in his words, Han Zhao felt displeased.

  When practicing before, Xu Ling and Li Fei were willing to take the initiative to practice against him, and Su Yun would occasionally find him. Only Zhang Tianwen always looked like his eyes were above his head, unless Lu Yi asked him to, he would treat Han Zhao as if he didn't exist at all.

   Now that they suddenly come together, there may be something wrong.

   "Then I will trouble Senior Brother Zhang." Han Zhao cupped his hands at Zhang Tianwen.

   "It's easy to say, easy to say." Zhang Tianwen pulled Han Zhao aside, "Junior Brother Han, I heard that you are registered at Xu's Rice Bank, and you pay a tael of silver a month?"

   "Yes, Senior Sister Xu is righteous." Han Zhao nodded and said, already guessing what he was going to say.

  Zhang Tianwen stretched out four fingers and waved in front of Han Zhao, "I will give you four taels of silver every month, how about coming to my Zhang family?"

   "I'm just a mere skin-level martial artist, I don't feel at ease with this money, and I appreciate Brother Zhang's kindness." Han Zhao politely refused. What Zhang Tianwen meant was to let him directly sign a contract with the Zhang family, which is not a concept with the Zhang family. Signing a contract can only sign a family, which is tantamount to selling himself.

   "Don't worry, I didn't give you such a good condition for nothing. As long as you can help me persuade the elder brother to come to my Zhang family, I guarantee that there will be dangerous things in the future, and I will not let you take action."

  Zhang Tianwen waved his hand. He thought that Han Zhao wanted benefits but was afraid of death, so he gave a verbal promise.

  Anyway, if Han Zhao is lucky in the future, he should be able to break through the bone training realm. If you sign for four taels of silver a month, you can hardly lose money, which is considered a good idea.

  【Capitalists are not so black, there is no need to consider if it is less than ten taels, but if it exceeds, you can consider it. 】

   "I think Xu's rice business is very good and very free. As for which one the big brother will choose in the end, I can't control it. Brother Zhang, you should tell the big brother yourself about this kind of thing." Han Zhao refused again.

   After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands at Zhang Tianwen and went to practice with Xu Ling.

  Seeing Han Zhao's repeated rejections, Zhang Tianwen's face was a little unnatural, and he wanted to explode, but held back.

  It’s just a follower of the big brother!

   Do you want to get four taels of silver a month just for name?

   I don't know how to praise!

  "Junior Brother Han" Xu Ling watched Han Zhao approaching, his pink lips parted and closed slightly, hesitant to speak.

  She was a little moved, thinking that she had read the right person.

   After all, Zhang Tianwen’s offer is very generous. Once Han Zhao agrees, it is likely to influence the elder brother’s decision.

  Besides, the Zhang family is a big family in the inner city. Although there are no martial arts masters, there are five quasi-martial masters who are trained in blood, and their strength is much stronger than that of the Xu family.

  Even if Zhang Tianwen is not a direct descendant, the Zhang family is definitely willing to have one more blood-training master, and the price they can offer is definitely higher than her.

   "Senior sister Xu, I will practice duel with you in the future, please give me your advice." Han Zhao stood in front of Xu Ling.

   "Yeah!" Xu Ling nodded heavily.

  Su Yun on the side also gave Han Zhao a high look when she saw this situation.

   Quite principled and backbone.

   It's just a loss of face for Zhang Tianwen, and I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future.

  The strength of the Zhang family is slightly better than her Su family.

   "It's dry! It's dry!"

  During lunch time, Han Zhao walked briskly towards the kitchen.

  Although it is not very good to say so, but Zhao Yuantu is not here at noon today, so he can eat more.

   "Food!" Han Zhao slammed open the door of the kitchen.

   Lu Yi grabbed the roasted chicken leg, seeing Han Zhao's "lively" side, he stopped chewing.

  Han Zhao: "."

   Lu Yi: "."

  【Changing the topic at this time can effectively relieve the embarrassment. 】

  Han Zhao looked serious, and saluted Lu Yi, "Master Lu, you didn't go out for dinner today?"

   Lu Yi seldom eats at home, so many people invited Zhao Yuantu to a banquet today, but he didn't go with him.

  Is this reasonable?

   "Sit down and eat." Lu Yi chuckled and pointed to the place beside him.

   "Yes." Han Zhao sat down "dignifiedly".

   "Three roasted chickens, two for you and one for me." Lu Yi pushed two plates of untouched roasted chickens over.

   "I'm getting older, I used to be able to eat five roast chickens and a pot of rice for a meal, but now I can't, you young people eat more, so that you can be stronger and stronger!"

"Where are you, judging by your majestic appearance, it is clear that the sword is not old yet." Han Zhao quickly complimented him, and after having a meal with Zhang Tianwen, he realized that a few dozen taels of silver are worth a lot to a person of Lu Yi's level. , it's just drizzle.

   Back then, Lu Yi was willing to accept Qiansiyin, which was really kind of him.

   Besides, it was said that lunch was included for half a year, and Zhao Yuantu would still ask him to have lunch on time after the expiration, saying that it was Lu Yi's intention.

   "I didn't expect you kid to speak flattery, you're afraid it's because of the sake of roasting chicken?" Lu Yi laughed and cursed, seeming to be somewhat helpful.

  He knew that a person like Han Zhao, who looked amiable on the outside, as if he didn't fight for anything, but in fact had a very high spirit.

  This kind of mentality is good for martial arts practice, after all, martial arts training requires this tone.

  It's just that when the reality fails to achieve the expected goal, such a heart is harmful.

   In this regard, Lu Yi can only watch, he can't do anything, and he is not going to do anything.

  Life and death are fate, wealth and honor depend on people, you have to fight for everything by yourself!

   "Master's eyes are as bright as a torch! You can see right through it at a glance." Han Zhao put on a good face, a teacher like Lu Yi is easy to get close to.

   Lu Yi in the simulation really deserves the word 'Master'.

   "Eat, eat!" Lu Yi noticed Han Zhao's change of address, and waved his hands in disgust.

  Han Zhao heard the words, so he stopped pretending, rolled up his sleeves and started working.

   Just now, half a roast chicken was eaten, and there was a rush of footsteps outside.

  Zhao Yuantu rushed into the kitchen, "It's okay, it's okay! It's time for dinner."

   Seeing Lu Yi glaring at him, Zhao Yuantu hurriedly saluted, "Master."

   "Why did you come back? Those people didn't let you eat?" Lu Yi asked suspiciously, it is impossible for blood-level warriors not to be scrambled.

"No, I drank tea all morning and ate a lot of pastries. They wanted to take me to drink flower wine at noon. I have never seen such a battle before, so I ran back." Zhao Yuantu explained: "Master, you I have said that wine is a gut-piercing medicine, and **** is a bone-scraping knife. People who practice martial arts are most taboo about these two points, I remember them all!"

   "What I said was not to indulge in it, not to tell you to quit." Lu Yi said angrily, "At your age, some people's children are ten years old. It's time to tell you about a marriage."

   "It's all up to the master." Zhao Yuantu scratched his head: "But I like the kind of stronger woman, preferably the kind that is similar to me. Please trouble the master."

   "Understood." Lu Yi nodded. He was not interested in his apprentice's XP. After all, he lived such an old age that he had seen all kinds of strange XP. Zhao Yuantu was quite normal.

   "Master, I haven't eaten yet." Zhao Yuantu looked at the roast chicken on the plate and smiled shyly.

   "There are two left in the pot for you, go get them yourself." Lu Yi tilted his head towards the stove.

   "Thank you, Master."

  The three sat on the table and launched a fierce attack on the roast chicken.

Seeing that they were almost finished eating, Han Zhao poured a bowl of barley tea for Lu Yi and Zhao Yuantu, and then said, "Brother, Senior Sister Xu asked me to tell you that she wants to invite you to be an offering to the Xu family. Don't want to? If you don't have this intention, I'll help you reject her. "

  It is just right to bring it up at this time, not too deliberate, and Lu Yi is also present.

   "This..." Zhao Yuantu stopped drinking tea and said, "I have to think about it."

   "It should." Han Zhao nodded.

   "The Xu family? It's not bad, it's relatively powerful. Too strong a force is not suitable for you, and the Xu family can be one of your targets." Lu Yi said, although he didn't make a clear statement, he was speaking for the Xu family.

  Zhao Yuantu's personality is relatively straightforward. If he joins those top forces that have trained martial arts masters, if he doesn't get along well, it will not be conducive to his future development.

  The Xu family is just right.

  He has a good impression of Xu Ling, at least he won't cheat Zhao Yuantu.

  Han Zhao didn't speak any more, his task has been completed, and the focus is on Zhao Yuantu's own choice.

   No matter how good the relationship is, if you rely on it as a way to make progress, the relationship will break down one day.

   "Han Zhao, thank you for worrying about my affairs." Zhao Yuantu said sincerely. He has a straight personality and no heart, but he is not stupid. He can see clearly who is really nice to him and who is lying.

   "Brother, you are serious." Han Zhao smiled.

   Seeing this situation, Lu Yi also smiled.

  Different from other apprentices who have a background and will definitely return to the family in the future, Han Zhao and Zhao Yuantu hope to inherit his mantle and provide him with retirement.

  As for his daughter, she entered the Fucheng Martial Arts Academy. If the chick turns into a phoenix in the future, he can't hold her back and let her stay in such a small place.

   It is a good thing that the two can get along well.

  After lunch, Han Zhao prepares to take a nap to welcome the afternoon practice with plenty of energy.
