Twilight Boundary

"Haha, Iron Hand Peng..."

Hu Ma followed, but silently remembered this person in her heart.

He knew the Second Master's suffering, and he even remembered the tears that flowed from his face when he told him about the key to keeping the child alive.

It is true that the second master can't say anything now. In this world, the master has this power to decide whether to teach his disciples real things. Moreover, the second master has such a mastery of others, but he still wants to call others master. I can't express my regrets.

But the second master is the second master, but Hu Ma disdains this in his heart, and has already thought about it in his heart.

Due to their appearance, the atmosphere in the place changed a bit. Especially those who cared about the second master vaguely sensed that something was wrong. However, in the village, they still followed the rules and invited people in. Tea was served.

"Oh, Master, this was just..."

The apprentice under Iron Hand Peng also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and quickly asked while there was no one around.

"This is really bad luck, a big bad luck..."

The old man with a white beard, Iron Hand Peng, also had a look on his face, with some regret in his eyes, and whispered: "That silly boy from the village named Zhou Huai."

"When I was young, I saw that he was strong, full of yang energy, and he was a boy. He could use his blood and yang arrows to cure evil spirits, so I took him to the world, but after teaching him a few tricks, I didn't lead him in. road……"

"In order to enter the doorway, you have to spend money to buy a life lamp. Where can I have the money to serve him?"

"Later, I saw that he was getting older and his bones were strong, so I sent him back to the village. I haven't seen him for so many years. Who would have thought that we would meet him here?"

"..."

"ah?"

When the disciples heard this, they understood what was going on. There were many people in the school who did not teach the real thing.

But such embarrassing things are rare.

Some people also reacted and hurriedly said: "If he didn't learn the real thing, how did those apprentices teach it?"

"Is it possible that he is just working with the food-protecting general to make ends meet?"

"..."

"Grow some brains!"

Iron-hand Peng snorted coldly and said: "The status of the general who protects food is achieved with real swords and real guns. But you know that the few big battles that Cao Mang fought when he first gained power, it was because he had no real ability." Can you make it out?"

"I can't say, this cheap apprentice must have something going on that we can't guess..."

"..."

After hearing this, these disciples were a little worried and said, "Master, why don't we leave? Now, especially those who have offended General Baoliang before he could find a career under him."

"You've already been offended. Do you think it's over when you leave?"

Iron Shou Peng also sighed deeply and said: "If I had known he was here, I shouldn't have come, but now that I have come, I have made my appearance and signed up. I can't retreat even if I want to, but I have to be tough." Only on the scalp.”

"Now that I have met this apprentice, after all, the people under the general who protects food are not of the same generation as you."

"Now they have to call you Uncle Master and me Master Master!"

"Seniority is seniority, no matter what else, they have to recognize it."

"..."

The apprentice next to him became worried: "Will that make his face look bad?"

"It's still a question of whether it looks good or not..."

Tie Shou Peng said: "I have been recognized now. If I am not sure of my seniority, I will suffer a big loss."

"The man surnamed Zhou has been with me for seven or eight years and has not learned any real skills. Do you think he has no resentment in his heart? What if his disciples are not angry with him and come back to trouble us?"

"Not to mention our background, it's hard to say whether we can stay in the world of Mingzhou..."

"On the contrary, they want to bite this identity to death. If this identity is hindered, they have anger in their stomachs, so they have to swallow it!"

"..."

After hearing the words, several disciples also understood, but they were naturally uneasy.

The group of people even picked up the accent, and when it was time to eat the noodles, they walked over with eight-character steps.

Because there have been so many guests in recent days, Dayangzhai has set up flowing water mats. There are two tables at the top. The second master is responsible for receiving these guests from the world, and the old patriarch is responsible for receiving the official guests and the wealthy gentry from everywhere. , this iron-handed Peng saw that a banquet was about to begin, so he naturally wanted to take a seat.

Next to him, Mr. Xu, Xu Wensheng, although he is considered official now, but after all, he was born in the Red Lantern Empress Club, and he is familiar with the second master, so he is also sitting in the world.

Originally, he was taking the seat, but was snatched away by Iron Hand Peng. He was a little surprised and asked the bald old man next to him: "Who is that old guy and why did he snatch my seat?"

"I thought that before General Baoliang came, it would always be my seat..."

"..."

The bald old Zhang had been talking to the second master just now, and he had noticed it a long time ago, so he snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "One of the Shou Sui Men in Mingzhou, surnamed Peng, there is an iron-handed Peng in the world. "

"I used to be in Mingzhou City, and I would make money by pledging red goods to the rich men in Meihua Alley. Who the hell would know that he is actually the master of Master Zhou in this village?"

"I'm most damn annoyed by these people of all ages!"

"Shopkeeper Hu and I are friends as our peers, and we even exchanged unique skills. When we meet Mr. Tuesday, we are juniors."

"But this man named Peng was the same generation as my old father-in-law. Now, isn't he also a generation above me?"

"..."

"Just him?"

Manager Xu immediately noticed the problem and whispered: "How can they teach someone like Shopkeeper Hu in this sect?"

The bald old Zhang lowered his voice and said, "I'm not taught, but I'm here to get my status!"

"I guess he doesn't know that the second master of the Zhou family is here. This old boy was originally planning to ask for an officer from General Guoliang, but he just stuck it on the iron plate!"

"..."

When Manager Xu heard this, he sneered: "The reputation of the Food Protection Army was gained through our battles with hungry ghosts."

"What are you doing, coming to pick peaches too?"

"..."

The two of them were talking, but they also understood the rules of the world. It was hard to say anything on the surface, but they didn't want to sit at that table.

But seeing that the eight cold dishes on the table were served, and the hosts in the village began to greet the guests, the second master felt a little reluctant, but now that his reputation was hindered, he had to come and serve the iron-handed Peng. .

But at this moment, I suddenly saw someone hurriedly running in in front of the village, excited and excited: "The general is here, the general who protects food is here!"

"Ah yo..."

When Leng Buding heard this, everyone in the room was shocked at first.

He didn't even react for a moment: "Which general?"

After hearing and understanding, the person who came over was the food-protecting general in Mingzhou Prefecture who was said to be a god. The whole village was bombarded, whether it was the clansmen in the village or the wealthy gentry and Jianghu guests who came to watch the ceremony. They all jumped up in panic.

They huddled together and hurriedly rushed to the entrance of the village to greet the general who kept the food supply, but there was even a look of disbelief on each other's faces.

"Is the general who protects food here?"

The iron-handed old man Peng was shocked when he heard this: "This general who protects food is not a thing in the pond. He has already gained momentum and has many capable people and strangers under his command. He will not be crowned king in the future." I want to sit in the court hall."

"Why do people like this have to come over to see the two generals who command the army under their command even when they are offering sacrifices at their homes?"

"..."

A group of people, Wu Yangyang, arrived at the gate of the village. Sure enough, he saw a group of soldiers and horses in front, surrounded by a sedan. Several carts came over. In front of him was a man riding a horse, wearing iron armor and carrying a broadsword. , a scarlet cloak, who is it if it’s not Yang Gong?

"Meet the general who protects food and kowtow to the general..."

The quickest responders were the wealthy gentry, who were so busy that they fell to their knees.

When the tribesmen in the village saw this, they hurriedly knelt down, including Manager Xu, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others, who also half-kneeled.

The second master next to Hu Ma was also shocked. When he wanted to kneel down, Hu Ma held him back.

The second master said anxiously: "Kneel down quickly and kowtow. He is a general who protects food. You..."

"Second Master, just stand firm."

Hu Ma, however, supported the second master steadily and whispered: "Your seniority is here, and logically, he has to kowtow to you."

The second master didn't even understand what Hu Ma was saying, but he was not as strong as Hu Ma. He couldn't kneel down even if he wanted to. Just as he was feeling frightened, he saw the soldiers and horses approaching. The general who ensured food security got off his horse and stood next to him. The sedan chair also pressed down the head of the pole.

Inside, a noble woman wearing a dark red brocade robe and a veil came out. They walked side by side and came to Hu Ma and Er Ye.

Seeing the panic and shock on the faces of the people around him, Yang Gong raised his eyebrows at Hu Ma proudly, feeling that he was very smart.

"Okay, okay, everyone, get up, we don't want to do this."

As he spoke, he laughed, and carelessly stretched out his hands to Hu Ma, wanting to give her a hug.

However, the masked woman next to him reached out and gave him a hand, her eyes stopped him from messing around, and then she walked over to Yingying first, arrived in front of Hu Ma, knelt down gently, and saluted to Hu Ma and the second master. He said softly: "Brother Hu is polite."

Hu Ma stretched out his hand to help her and said with a smile: "I don't like this here either. Brothers and sisters, get up quickly."

Men and women are not close to each other, and Hu Ma can only help him weakly.

But the woman insisted on saluting, and then said seriously: "Brother Hu deserves this courtesy from me."

"My husband, Yang Gong, calls you brother. That's because you don't want to repay a favor and value him. But considering the things you saved his life and taught him, I, a foolish husband, should actually call you Just call me teacher.”

"..."

Seeing that the woman spoke clearly and logically, Hu Ma gave her a high look and said with a smile: "This is obvious. Brother Yang Gong and I have the same loyalty and never talk about these things. "

"Don't stand and talk, please sit inside!"

"..."

Yang Gong, who was beside him, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let my wife go in and rest first, and we will wait."

"I just met some old acquaintances on the road, and they also came here for you. But now we are in Mingzhou anyway. They gave me face and let me come here first."

"..."

As he looked back, he heard the sound of hoofbeats in the distance, and two more groups of people were rushing over.
