Golden Greenery

"Boy, waiter, stew two chickens, cut two pounds of beef, and have five bowls of white rice. Make your legs and feet more agile."

"Okay, sir, I'll be here later."

After Lu Da yelled at the waiter, he picked up the pottery bowls on the table, rolled up his sleeves and wiped each one. After pouring water, he said to Yang Yi and Lu Yan: "Master, uncle, you drink water first." .”

Four years have passed, and Ruda, who is already nineteen years old, has grown from the sturdy boy back then to a burly man. He is taller than Lu Yan and can be as tall as a sheep. His stubbled light beard makes him look like he is in his twenties. Year old man.

In the past four years, Yang Yi and Lu Yan, who used the pseudonym Zhou Tong, took Ruda to many places. First, we entered Zhongnan Mountain from Chang'an and looked at the wooden house where Yang Yi once lived in seclusion. Now it has become a barren mountain land, with grass growing taller than people.

Then we crossed the vast mountains and took the Shu Road to the middle of Shu. Went to Baihe Mountain to visit Lao Yuan. Yuan Tiangang's tomb is even more magnificent, with a stepped cemetery built according to the mountain.

Then they went south into the Miao territory and went to the Immortal Changchun Valley in Dali. It has been 113 years since the sheep left here.

The Valley of Eternal Life is almost full of people and has turned into a quite lively mountain market town. However, the bamboo building where Yang Yi and Zhou Yingluo lived is still there, almost as it was a hundred years ago. The bamboo building has a radius of 100 feet and is surrounded by a magnificent courtyard.

The Bamboo Tower is the holy place of the Xiaoyao Sect and the Valley of Eternal Life. No one dares to make loud noises nearby. Martial artists from the Xiaoyao Sect and the Duan family of Dali are stationed and protected here, and Bulao Valley has become a branch of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Zhou Yingluo's tomb has also been renovated and is located next to the bamboo building. Yang Yi did not bother Xiaoyaopai and Zhou Yingluo. He found a place halfway up the mountain where he could see the Bamboo House in the distance, rented a small house and lived with Luda for three months.

Lu Yan went to Shanchan Mansion, which was the capital of Dali. Now the king of Dali is Duan Yu, Xu Zhu's sworn brother. He has been on the throne for several years, and this guy has also got his wish to marry the scumbag queen Yu Yan who has been dreaming of him all day long.

However, Duan Yu is really a lover, just like his father Duan Zhengchun. Duan Yu quickly accepted Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, and Xiaolei as his concubines, and no one knew how many good sisters he had.

When Yang Yi and the others came to Dali, Wang Yuyan had already left Duan Yu. They heard that she had gone to Suzhou to find her crazy cousin Murong Fu, but Duan Yu did not keep her.

I don’t know whether Duan Yu was jealous and married some good sisters because Wang Yuyan always thought about Murong Fu, or whether it was because he married good sisters that Wang Yuyan went back to her cousin in anger. Outsiders can't explain this kind of thing clearly, and I'm afraid they themselves can't explain it either.

This has been the case during the past four years of wandering, and the three of them did not rush hard.

Everywhere he went, Lu Yan, who had a lot of acquaintances, would visit friends everywhere. Yang Yi and Lu Da would stay and practice martial arts, and they would go forward together when Lu Yan had enough fun.

Because he was the incarnation of Zhou Tong and accepted his disciples, and Luda's ambition was to kill the enemy in front of the battle, so when Yang Yi taught him martial arts, he paid great attention to the martial arts on the battlefield. Of course, bare-handed fists and kicks were also indispensable.

Lu Yan didn't need to go to the battlefield, so Yang Yi taught him how to practice swordsmanship. Xiao Lu is not as diligent in practicing martial arts as Lu Da, but he is equally talented. The three of them have been practicing together for four years. Xiao Lu's current level of martial arts, Yang Yi analyzed, he can barely reach the level of the former Shaolin Temple Bodhidharma Academy. Difficult level.

Ruda couldn't reach it yet. After all, he had no foundation in martial arts before and only had brute strength. However, it has only been four years. With his talent and hard work, in time, it is not far away that he will become one of the top martial artists in the world and the military.

After leaving Dali, the three of them stopped and went, continuing to travel around the mountains and rivers to visit relatives and friends, and now they are in Hangzhou.

.

Ruda is reckless on the outside, but he is indeed not a careful person on the inside, but he is a good martial arts student, upright and simple, and has great respect for his master and uncle.

It’s just too much food.

Two chickens, two kilograms of beef, and five bowls of rice. One of the chickens, two kilograms of beef, and three bowls of rice belonged to Ruda. Taoist priests eat meat but not beef. Yang Yi and Lu Yan don't eat beef. The master and his uncle together can eat one chicken and two bowls of rice.

The half-grown boy will eat me to death, but fortunately Yang Yi can still control Luda's mouth.

They came to Hangzhou because Wu Song was here, and something had just happened, and the three of them decided to save him.

In fact, Wu Song cannot be regarded as Zhou Tong's inherited disciple. Before he met Zhou Tong, he had quite powerful martial arts skills. It is said that it is a family inheritance. Zhou Tong only taught Wu Song's kicking skills for a few months. Strictly speaking, he was a halfway disciple.

But Wu Song himself admired Zhou Tong very much. He always respected Zhou Tong as his mentor and treated him as his son and disciple. Zhou Tong also liked Wu Song's chivalrous and brave character very much, so he accepted his worship.

When Wu Song was traveling around the world in the past, he was recruited by the then high-ranking magistrate of Hangzhou and became the head of the Hangzhou Prefecture's Yamen.

Gold shines wherever it is. Wu Song's proficiency in martial arts allowed him to repeatedly make contributions in arresting thieves. He was soon promoted to the head of the Hangzhou Prefecture by high authorities, and later became the commander-in-chief of the Hangzhou Infantry Army.

However, Gao Quan offended King Duan Zhao Ji in his stance on the royal family's dispute over the heir apparent. As a result, Zhao Xu died of illness. After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he was dismissed from the post of Hangzhou magistrate and retired to his hometown. Naturally, Wu Song, who was promoted by him, could no longer work. The same was true for the emperor, courtiers, and prefects.

Gao Quan did not return to his hometown. He was intercepted and killed on the way by the new prefect Cai Yun, who was disguised as a murderer. Cai Jun is the son of Cai Jing, and Cai Jing is Zhao Ji's confidant.

Wu Song was deeply favored by the powerful, so he sneaked into the mansion to kill Cai Yun, but when he escaped, his horse stepped into a horse trap and he was shot into a hedgehog by his pursuers.

Wu Song did not die. He only had half a life left and was detained in the prison of Hangzhou Prefecture. Cai Jing ordered him to stay up until the end of autumn and bring him to Caishikou Lingchi.

If Yang Yi wants to save Wu Song, Cai Jing, Gao Quan, and Cai Yun have nothing to do with him, but Wu Song is Zhou Tong's apprentice, so he must save him because he owes Zhou Tong.

But he is pretending to be Zhou Tong. Luda has no doubts here, but Wu Song has met Zhou Tong, and it is difficult not to be exposed when Yang goes to rescue him.

Lu Yan advised him to think twice, as it would be very troublesome if the whole Wulin was pursued. But Yang Yi didn't think about it, and he did things and things he didn't do. Wu Song had to save him no matter what, otherwise he would have to flee to Europe again.

And he must be rescued immediately. Wu Song's injuries are very serious, and he may not be able to be saved even a day later.

With Wu Song's martial arts prowess, he shouldn't have been in prison. With Yang Yi's strength, it was basically not difficult to just rush into the prison and save someone.

Lu Yan was arranged as external backup. He was responsible for responding and preparing for evacuation. Yang Yi and Lu Da were specifically responsible for entering the prison to rescue people.

After having a full meal, the master and apprentice suppressed their excitement - especially Ruda, who rested in the woods by the West Lake and waited until the middle of the night. He put on the night clothes that had been prepared in advance, as well as those for singing Nuo opera. mask.

Carrying their weapons on their backs, Yang Yi and Lu Da headed towards the government prison they had stepped on before.
