"The Marquis knows about me?" The young master looked surprised, and then smiled freely, "I see, it is normal for a person like the Marquis to know a mere nickname. How can we treat it with common sense. ♦w. "

As he spoke, the man clasped his fists again, and then solemnly said: "Sun Xun of the Sun family in the south of the Yangtze River has met the Marquis of Dingguo!"

After saying this, he didn't hesitate at all, and went straight to the carriage without any hesitation. Then he said to Qiu Yan, "I am a book boy coming with you all the way. I hope that the Marquis will arrange a place for him to stay."

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "Looking at the waist, hips and arms of this book boy, you are also a man of martial arts. You look weak, but in fact you have restrained strength. You must be a good rider. The station in the county ahead wants another one." Horse, come and give him a ride.”

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"Hmph! It's so hypocritical. It's really hard to guard against." At this time, Wu Meng also turned over and landed on the horse again. He was tall and strong. This time he fell in the air and stepped on the carriage with his feet, so that the carriage did not shake at all. , sinking, reflecting precise control of force.

Sun Xun was not angry, looked at Wu Meng and said with a smile: "Brother Wu seems to have a prejudice against Sun."

"Pretending!" Wu Meng curled his lips, "What a certain family dislikes the most is the children of aristocratic families like you."

"Brother Wu is so frank, but it's hard to avoid blindness." Sun Xun had just arrived, but he didn't seem to be afraid at all. He spoke without much scruple. He seemed not at all afraid that what he said to Wu Meng would offend Qiu Yan, "I have said it before, Brother Wu, you yourself belong to a noble family, and as far as I know, you also have friendships with the children of the Bei family and the Tang family. They are also members of the noble family. How can you be able to enter the Dharma's eyes? Could this be different from what you said? Contradictory?"

As soon as he said these words, the air around him suddenly solidified. But Wu Meng's eyes narrowed, and there was substance in the gleam in his eyes. His whole person exuded a solemn aura, which solidified the surrounding air.

"It seems that you know Mr. Wu very well. I guess you didn't just investigate today. Even if you came here to wait for the Marquis, you should not have expected that Mr. Wu would accompany you. I wonder what your intentions are! A certain family is I have two good friends, who belong to the Tang family and the Bei family, but because they are not the direct descendants of the family, they are of the same mind as me, which only makes me hate the aristocratic family even more! That’s right, although my mother also came from a noble family, she was not taken seriously in the family at that time. Only when my father rose up did the snobbery of the noble family pay more attention to my mother. "

"The aristocratic family has been passed down for thousands of years. It has its own set of rules of survival, no matter in the north or the south. Everything they do is just to maintain the bloodline. It's just that in the eyes of others, it is inevitable that there are some forces. This is also a fact." Sun Xun's expression remained as usual. , seemed not to be affected by this solemn air at all.

His body is thin. Although he looked very energetic, Wu Meng could still see it with his eyesight. This young master has not practiced martial arts, and cannot resist his own aura and energy with his vitality and strength, but his normal expression is not deliberately pretending, nor is he desperately resisting. The reason for this is because of his heart.

If the heart is firm and tenacious, and the qi movement pulls it away, it will not bring any pressure or influence at all, because in the final analysis, this aura and qi movement are manifestations of one's thoughts affecting the thoughts of others.

However, even if he is not affected, he can still feel something. Of course, Sun Xun understands why Wu Meng on the opposite side has such a violent reaction, so after talking about the family, he immediately changed the subject and said: "But, Brother Wu, you also Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t deliberately collect intelligence information from you.”

Wu Meng sneered: "If you don't collect them deliberately, how can you keep all the treasures?"

At this moment, Qiu Yan, who had been sitting next to him and watching the tit-for-tat confrontation between Wu Meng and Sun Xun, said: "This matter may be true as Mr. Sun said. It's just that he didn't deliberately collect it. It doesn't mean that he didn't collect it. Not only did I collect you."

"Huh? What do you mean by this?" When Wu Meng faced Qiu Yan, he looked the same as usual, but if he looked carefully, he could still detect a hint of respect in his words.

Qiu Yan didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "The meaning of this is that Mr. Sun should know and be involved in the intelligence information of people in the world's famous families, and be familiar enough with everyone, so specific to one of them. Of course, it can’t be considered intentional.”

"What?" Wu Meng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked at Sun Xun again and saw that the latter had no intention of refuting and unconsciously acquiesced to Qiu Yan's words. He couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

"There are so many people from aristocratic families in this world. Does Sun Xun know everyone?"

With this thought, Wu Meng's eyes towards Sun Xun also changed a little. Although he hated the aristocratic family, he still respected the truly capable people among them, but on the surface, there was not much change. Still speaking harshly.

The sudden appearance of Sun Xun and the book boy did not affect the progress of the entire team. After passing a small town and adding a horse, they continued to move forward.

Along the way, Wu Meng and Sun Xun were still at odds with each other, but as they talked, they began to ask Qiu Yan for advice. The difference was that Wu Meng mostly asked Qiu Yan for advice on martial arts issues, while Sun Xun focused on Qiu Yan. In terms of learning.

The two of them were very different in terms of interests and temperaments. It was inevitable that they would have conflicts. Qiu Yan also discovered that although Sun Xun appeared very indifferent on the surface, he still had some feelings for Wu Meng. Mildly hostile, unwilling to be compared to the other party.

However, although the two were hostile to each other, they became more respectful when facing Qiu Yan. This was because when the two were hostile, they used words to suppress each other, and sometimes asked Qiu Yan for advice, but they did not. Qiu Yan can be asked about any topic, whether it is martial arts, military strategism, Confucianism, Taoism, or even the words of hundreds of schools of thought, or even some questions about farmers and craftsmen, Qiu Yan can always explain things clearly in simple and profound terms.

As a result, after a debate, the two of them admired Qiu Yan even more, so much so that they both had other thoughts in mind.

This idea was finally made clear when he arrived at a village outside the capital, and it was Sun Xun who made it clear.

"Following me all the way, the student admires Mr. Hou's knowledge very much. He is really a scholar, and everything he says and does is in line with the truth. What the student has learned along the way is not much more than what he has accumulated before. I hope he can serve Mr. Hou in the future. I always receive instruction from you."

The words were somewhat vague, but the true meaning was not concealed at all.

"This man actually wants to become the master of the Marquis!"

When Wu Meng heard this, he understood Sun Xun's plan, and anger immediately welled up in his heart, because he had the same idea in his heart, but due to various reasons, he could not express it, but now he let the pretentious person in his eyes Sun Xun took the lead, so of course he was angry.

This surge of anger immediately broke through his reason, causing Wu Meng to move and come to Qiu Yan without thinking about anything else. He knelt down directly and said, "I hope Lord Marquis can take me under his sect." , listen to the teachings every day.”

He is more direct than Sun Xun, but this also forces him to a point of no return, with no room for maneuver. If Qiu Yan refuses, he will immediately lose all possibilities. On the contrary, he is not as flexible as Sun Xun. , advance to attack, retreat to defend.

Therefore, Sun Xun was not angry. He smiled and looked at Qiu Yan, waiting for him to make a decision.

And Wu Meng also realized that his Meng Lang's heartstrings were tense. This rather casual temperament could not help but gather together and wait for the result, but the sweat on his head could not help but flow down.

"I have made some assumptions..."

Fortunately, Qiu Yan didn't let them wait long, and spoke directly: "The method of calculation is quite mysterious, but its foundation is also based on reality. It is to judge the suitable person through details and similarity. The result of my deduction at that time is There should be five disciples in this life.”

As soon as these words were said, both Wu Meng and Sun Xun's hearts tightened, knowing that the next words were related to their own futures and were also a direct reflection of the results of today's apprenticeship.

"With five disciples, doesn't that mean there are still two places left? Maybe I am among them?"

Wu Meng's heart moved, and his already tense heart suddenly became a little tighter. Although he is usually naughty, he is not ignorant of the world's affairs. After all, he still understands the things in this world, so I knew that Qiu Yan already had three disciples.

But in comparison, after all, it is not as clear and comprehensive as Sun Xun.

"The real disciples of Marquis Dingguo are Zheng Yun and Meng Sanyi. Nahuashe is said to be a registered disciple, but in fact there is no real initiation ceremony. It can only be said that it is passed down through false rumors, so the number of disciples is There are three people left, so can I be one of the three?”

However, even if he knows more than Wu Meng, he still worries about the same thing, because two people or three people are meaningless to one person alone.

Of course, if someone else told them that he had calculated that he could only have five disciples in his life, then both Wu Meng and Sun Xun would sneer at them, but if it were Qiu Yan, his words would be different. .

Of course, if it weren't for Qiu Yan, these two people would not have proposed becoming a disciple at all, let alone care about how many apprentices he could have.

But as things have developed now, even figures like Wu Meng and Sun Xun are inevitably worried about gains and losses, and hope that they are lucky enough to be one of the remaining places.

But Qiu Yan's next words disappointed them all.

"Among the remaining disciples, there are no two..."

As soon as these words were said, Wu Meng and Sun Xun were like deflated rubber balls, and their whole spirits fell. However, Qiu Yan's words rekindled their hopes.

"However, if this theory of cause and effect is really destined, life in this world will not have much meaning, but I will not stick to the number of these five people!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster !
