Zhao Feng looked at Liu Heng with doubt, uneasiness, admiration, and trust. He wondered how Liu Heng could have written such an extraordinary book at the age of fifteen.
He felt uneasy. Why did Liu Heng become sworn brothers with Zhao Yun? He was already a well-known handsome young man. Although he mainly did business, his reputation far exceeded that of ordinary scholars.
He admired that the person who could write this book must be a person who was proficient in modern times, good at fighting, and wise. He was convinced because he could not see any deception or concealment in Liu Heng's eyes.
A moment later, Zhao Feng stood up and thanked Liu Heng.
Liu Heng didn't know what to do. He could only imitate Zhao Yun and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Zhao Feng.
What Liu Heng didn't expect was Zhao Feng's strength. It was as if he was a small rock.
"Brother Liu is a great talent. It must have been arranged by the heavens for Brother Yun to meet you, and it is a great blessing to be able to become sworn brothers with you. Little Brother Yun, follow your Big Brother Liu well in the future.”
"We'll help each other in life and death!" Zhao Yun nodded resolutely.”
Seeing that the sky was already dark, Zhao Feng began to prepare food. Liu Heng stayed at Zhao Yun's house for the night, and the servants were scattered to the neighboring houses.
After the meal, Liu Heng found out that the Zhao family was once a big family in the Changshan area, with more than a hundred hectares of land and dozens of houses.
They were originally living a life of ample food and clothing, but the new county magistrate took a fancy to the good location of the Zhao family's fields. So he conspired with the prefect of Changshan County to slander the Zhao family for harboring robbers, robbing the house and occupying the land.
Zhao Yun's parents passed away in a fit of rage, leaving behind the three brothers. Moreover, Zhao Feng was not Zhao Yun's biological brother, but his uncle's child.
These few years, it was all thanks to Zhao Feng's support that he was able to raise Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu. He even hired a martial arts master for the Zhao siblings to learn martial arts.
When Liu Heng heard about such a tragic family history, he sighed and said,""Big Brother Zhao, Second Brother, corrupt officials are in power now, and cruel officials run amok. Not only here, but also Xuantu. When the foreign tribes raided, the local governor refused to send troops, causing the villages near the border to be ravaged. I once saw the entire village filled with corpses…"
For a long time, no one spoke. Liu Heng continued,""I have a few properties in Ji City and I need reliable people to manage them. I have a presumptuous request. I hope Big Brother Zhao can…"
When Zhao Feng heard this, he was stunned." How can that be? Sheng is just a villager. He's more like a farmer, but he's blind."”Zhao Feng hurriedly defended himself.
"Otherwise, don't hide it from me, Big Brother Zhao.”
Liu Heng smiled." When I entered the courtyard, I saw that the layout of the courtyard was reasonable. The house was even more ingenious. Although there were many things, they were not chaotic. The ability to manage a house was all in it.
And I saw that Brother Zhao was powerful and intelligent, so I guessed that Brother Zhao must be talented in both literature and martial arts. It was a pity that such a talent was buried in this world.”
These words struck Zhao Feng's heart, and he looked a little lonely, as if he had touched something on his mind.
After a moment, Zhao Feng raised his head and said,"Alright, Brother Meng likes it. I'll help you."”
After staying at Zhao Yun's house for a few days, Liu Heng decided to continue his journey to Luoyang.
Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng insisted on traveling with them to ensure their safety, but Liu Heng politely declined and only agreed to let Zhao Yun accompany them. He also told Zhao Feng about his business in Ji City and wrote a letter to Xun Yu about Zhao Feng. He asked Zhao Feng to take over the factory after he was familiar with the business.
Zhao Feng needed some time to sell his assets and move to Ji City.
Liu Heng and Zhao Yun were about to set off when Zhao Yu suddenly ran over and insisted on going to Luoyang together. Seeing her crying pitifully, Zhao Feng could only nod in agreement.
Along the way, the three of them had company. Liu Heng asked Zhao Yun for advice on martial arts, and Zhao Yun taught him everything.
However, Liu Heng's talent was limited. Other than the thirty-six forms of Taiji Fist, the few moves taught by his teacher in his previous life, and the military boxing that he had almost forgotten, he did not know anything else.
Even so, under Zhao Yun's careful guidance, Liu Heng still benefited greatly. At the very least, he could ride a horse and dance a few times with just his legs.
Zhao Yun was also attracted by Liu Heng's thirty-six forms of Taiji Fist, especially the artistic conception emphasized by Taiji Fist: It seemed to exist and disappear, strong and weak, silent and unending.
This kind of artistic conception complemented the martial arts that he practiced, which was full of masculinity, and made his martial arts reach a higher level.
After leaving Chang Mountain, they did not encounter any more bandits. However, the lives of the people along the way became more and more difficult. Three to four out of ten of the villages fled because of the harsh government and heavy taxes.
Liu Heng could only shake his head and sigh,[The Great Han Dynasty used its own hands to push its subjects to the corner of the Road of Peace…]
A few days later, the group of people hurried to the Yiyang area of Anping County. It was the scorching sun. Although it was June, it was extremely hot because there had not been a single rain.
Encountering such abnormal weather, the few of them had to rest under a tree for a while after walking for a few miles. They would continue their journey after it was cooler.
At noon, when everyone was lying down under the tree to rest, they suddenly heard a song coming from the forest path. The star in the middle is weak, and the star on the edge is bright. Crape myrtle is dark and weak, and all kinds of yellow flash. Hurry up and take advantage of the chaos and disaster, why do the people suffer endlessly?”
Following the voice, he saw an old man in a gray robe riding on the back of a donkey, leisurely walking in the shade of the trees. Liu Heng and the others were curious. They immediately stood up and walked towards the old man.
The strange thing was that the old man was originally still a long distance away from where he was resting, but he had already arrived in front of him after taking a few steps.
The three of them bowed together. Then, Liu Heng spoke first,""Old man, when I heard your singing just now, I felt that it vaguely implied the changes of the Heavenly Dao.
The peaks and ridges are like gathering waves, like raging mountains and rivers. Tongguan Road, looking at the western capital, I feel sad and hesitant. Where the Qin and Han dynasties passed, thousands of palaces were turned into earth.
After the war, the people suffered. Forget, the people suffer. I wonder if you can teach this junior."
Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu nodded.
The old man opened his eyes slightly and carefully sized up the three young people in front of him. When his gaze passed by Zhao Yun, he nodded slightly. He turned to Liu Heng in surprise. After careful observation, he could not help but close his eyes and ponder.
After a long time, the old man said to Zhao Yun," I see that you have the demeanor of a general and the air of a commander. If you train yourself a little, you will definitely become a general and a prime minister. You will be rich and noble beyond description."”
These few words made Zhao Yunwei reveal an excited expression, as if she understood something.
The old man looked at Zhao Yu and said,"Although you have a life of wealth, you have a little hostility, and I'm afraid it will hurt the heavens. Therefore, although you can be the mother of the world, it is a pity that you can't be in the right position after leaving.”
However, Zhao Yu's face was filled with confusion…(After all, she's still young!)）
The old man paused and looked at Liu Heng. He spoke in a clear voice, as if he was admonishing and persuading," You are not a mortal, but you have appeared in this world as a mortal. This is God's will. I shouldn't have said too much, but for the sake of the world, I'll give you a few words. I hope you'll remember them.
The people of the same clan are human, and the people of other clans are human. Hunting and fishing can also be lenient, let alone people. Remember! Remember!"
After saying that, he paused for a moment and took out a book from his pocket. He continued,"This book was obtained by chance, and its present world contains a premonition of chaos in the world. I wanted to destroy it, but I was afraid that people who had no way would get it and bring disaster to the world.
However, recently I suddenly had a feeling in my heart. Now I see you and know that it is God's will. This book is of little use to me, so I will pass it on to you on behalf of heaven. I hope you can save the world and return it to peace and prosperity!”
Liu Heng listened to the old man's words and thought to himself,""The old man is not an ordinary person. Why does he seem to know everything about me and even my thoughts?”
Liu Heng immediately knelt on the ground and extended his hands to receive the book respectfully. He replied,"Junior will remember Mister's teachings. I will think of the people of the world and worry about the world first. We can be lenient to the outside world."
The old man twirled his beard and smiled. He looked at Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu and said,"The two of you can follow me into the mountains to cultivate. You can return after two years.”
The two of them stared blankly at Liu Heng.
A thought flashed across Liu Heng's mind. He understood who the old man was-Zuo Ci! He thought to himself,'The ancient texts are still very accurate. I thought that Zhao Yun would just follow me like this, but in the end, he still wants to cultivate with Zuo Ci. Forget it, I'll just treat it as a free manager training.”
Thinking of this, Liu Heng nodded and said to the old man,""Thank you for taking my second brother and sister Qing as your disciples!”
He kowtowed to Yu Liang again. Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu also kowtowed at the same time.
The old man laughed and stroked his beard.""He's quick-witted and worthy of teaching!"
