Chapter 599 Xie Hong Recommends Yuchi Gong! [Ask for Monthly Votes]

At the foot of Fengming Village, Xie Hong looked at the moat in front of the village, his eyes full of approval:

"Using the convenient location, widen the river channel, and make the mountain village, which is already in natural danger, impregnable... After not seeing each other for a while, the dragon spirit of Fengming Village becomes even stronger!"

When he went to Shuozhou to recruit a disciple, he passed by here. At that time, he wanted to visit and he was thinking about his apprentice, so he didn't bother him much. Now that he felt that the destiny had completely changed, he came up with the idea of ​​bringing his apprentice to join him.

Behind Xie Hong, stood a strong man with an iron tower holding a black horse. He had a face like the bottom of a pot and a burly figure. He seemed to have endless energy, but at this time, his face was full of sadness:

"Master, you said you would lead me to a bright future, but why did you end up in the bandits' den? Xiuying is still waiting for me to marry her. If I want to become a bandit, she will die of disgust..."

Xie Hong turned his face and said:

"There is a real dragon hidden here. As long as you help Jingde with your heart, you will become the Duke of the country one day."

The man in the black tower is Yu Chigong. Although he looks like a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face, in fact he is only a teenager and still a child.

In the original work, Lieutenant Chi Gong married Mei Xiuying, the daughter of a blacksmith, for several years before he was approached by Xie Hong and accepted as his apprentice. He taught Kung Fu for several years. After completing his studies, he defected to Li Tang.

Now everything is ahead of schedule. When Xie Hong found Yuchi Gong, this guy had only made an engagement with Mei Xiuying and was not married yet. However, the two of them were already flirting with each other and were affectionate.

Hearing the word "Guo Gong", Yuchi Gong became excited:

"Then Xiuying can also be the princess's wife? Be good, I will have to show off in front of her from now on. I will wear a brocade dress and strike iron. I will change the big hammer every day and never reuse it."

Xie Hong sighed. Since leaving Shuozhou, this guy has been talking about Mei Xiuying, the blacksmith's daughter. He is simply a wife obsessed.

He said:

"It seems like there's going to be a war here. After it's over, you can take a few people back and bring the Mei family over."

"Okay, okay, I miss Xiuying every day, and I almost went back secretly several times... Master, can I see the great hero Qin Qiong? If so, then I can brag to Xiuying when I go back."

Xie Hong: "..."

Forget it, forget it, I have to admit the disciple I accepted with tears in my eyes.

He enjoined:

"There are many masters in Fengming Village. Jingde, you haven't mastered your martial arts yet. You should ask for advice with an open mind and don't be arrogant and complacent. Otherwise, you will suffer a loss and I will not stand up for you as a teacher."

There are a group of future princes and even future emperors in Fengming Village who are not easy to offend.

It just so happens that through these people, Yu Chigong's temperament can be tempered.

This guy has a straightforward temperament, doesn't understand anything, is completely confused, and is in a complete mess culturally. Basically, he can only write the right name.

Yu Chigong's father died early. When he was seven years old, he followed his adoptive father Qiao Gongshan. He was uneducated and had a headache when reading books. Instead, he was interested in blacksmithing. He went to Sanxin Iron Shop in Baolinzhuang next door every day to watch blacksmithing.

After a long time, Qiao Gongshan simply sent him there and let him become an apprentice in the blacksmith shop.

It was at this stall that Yu Chigong met Mei Xiuying, the daughter of owner Mei of the blacksmith shop. Boss Mei saw that Yuchi Gong was honest, honest, strong, and talented in blacksmithing, so he asked someone to talk to Qiao Gongshan, and the two families got married. Very good.

When Xie Hong found Yuchi Gong, the two families were discussing a marriage contract, but when Boss Mei heard that his son-in-law would have great opportunities in the future, he asked him to earn fame first, and it would not be too late to postpone the wedding.

The master and apprentice were teaching martial arts while heading towards Fengming Village, and finally arrived before the Battle of Jinyang.

Yuchi said angrily:

"Master, don't worry. As long as they don't bully me, I won't take the initiative to hit them. When we set off, Xiuying warned me again and again, saying that I can tolerate it when I go out, and don't get angry with others. I remember that."

While the master and apprentice were talking, the suspension bridge at the main entrance of the cottage was lowered, and the scout captain came over to greet him:

"Thank you, Taoist Master, for your invitation. Mr. Pharmacist is coming from the mountain after hearing that the Taoist Master has arrived in person. He also asked the Taoist Master to drink tea at the mountain gate and wait a moment."

Hearing the word pharmacist, Xie Hong couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Pharmacist you are talking about, is he Han Qinhu's nephew Li Jing and Pharmacist Li?"

"It is this person who came to seek refuge a few days ago. After hearing His Highness Shimin's aspirations, he was convinced on the spot and wanted to stay and contribute to the village... The Taoist Master also knows Mr. Medicine Master?"

Xie Hong stroked his beard and smiled:

"I met him once in Chang'an. At that time, I concluded that this person had an unlimited future. I didn't expect that he had already joined the village."

The master and apprentice came to the guard box at the gate of the village. As soon as they sat down, a soldier brought tea and some dried fruit snacks.

Yuchi Gong was originally not interested in these things. He just wanted to go up the mountain quickly and find someone to practice the martial arts he learned on the way. But when he saw those colorful snacks, he became interested:

He stretched out his palm as big as a cattail leaf fan, pinched a round cake and ate it in one bite, his dark face full of surprise:

"This is delicious, Master, can I take a few away? Xiuying hasn't eaten it yet. I want to take it back. She will be very happy."

Xie Hong: "..."

If you mention your wife again, I will send you to Shaolin Temple.

He looked at the scout captain next to him, and just as he was about to speak, the captain smiled and introduced:

"This is a sweet cake that His Highness Shimin made casually when he passed by Wenxi County. It is named Wenxi Boiled Cake. If you two like it, I can give you a few kilograms to try when you get to the mountain."

Wenxi cooks cakes?

Xie Hong remembered that some of the books Qin Qiong gave him had introductions to this kind of snack. How did it suddenly change into a food invented by His Highness Shimin?

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. There was no salt, chopped green onion, sesame seeds, etc. in the tea. It seemed that the dry tea leaves had just been soaked in hot water. However, the tea tasted overflowing with fragrance and made the mouth and tongue salivate.

When people in ancient times drank tea, they usually put condiments on it, making it look like camellia oleifera. Li Shimin went to the real world many times and brought the tea-drinking habit there with him.

Nowadays, the whole village likes to drink tea in this way. Older people will still hold a thermos cup and occasionally unscrew it and take a sip of hot tea, which is very comfortable.

While Xie Hong was drinking tea, Yu Chigong had already eaten all the snacks on the table, even the residue on the bottom of the plate.

After eating, he picked up the teapot and drank all the tea in it, and then burped deeply and felt comfortable.

Several soldiers around were covering their mouths and laughing secretly, but Yuchi Gong didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said to the scout captain:

"You promised to give me several kilograms of snacks, but don't forget, my wife hasn't eaten them yet. I have to take them back for her to try...Brother, are you married? How does your wife treat you?"

The scout captain shook his head:

"My family is poor and I haven't gotten married yet."

"Then you have to be tighter. Don't be too picky. Just tell me. Ever since I was a blacksmith's apprentice, I have liked to play with Xiuying. Xiuying also dislikes me and even steals from her home. The eggs will replenish my health... In short, if you find a target, you should hurry up and don't be half-hearted."

After saying that, the guy patted the scout captain on the shoulder like a human being:

"Don't be discouraged. Sooner or later you will meet a woman who is suitable for you, just like me. After the war, I will go back to marry Xiuying and treat you to a drink then."

"Thank you, brother, but I think you are at least thirty. Why haven't you gotten married yet? It's time for people your age and their children to get married, right?"

Yuchi Gong:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What does this scout look like? Why do you think of me, a gentle young man like jade, as a bad old man?

Xie Hong listened to the two people talking nonsense, silently took out his mobile phone and checked the time, and asked the scout:

"Can I charge it on the mountain?"

"Okay, our walkie-talkies need to be charged regularly. The Taoist Priest actually has a mobile phone?"

As soon as he heard that it could be charged, Xie Hong clicked on it and started playing:

"My nephew went to another world to be a god. Before he left, he asked Qin Qiong to give me a gift. My apprentice broke the solar charging panel two days ago and has been unable to charge it."

He played a game and heard the sound of horses galloping outside. He guessed that Li Jing was coming. He put his phone in his arms and waited quietly.

Soon, Li Jing hurried in:

"Where is Mr. Xie?"

Xie Hong stood up and waved his whisk:

"I am a poor Taoist here. Please ask the pharmacist to deal with any troubles."

Li Jing said with a smile:

"The war is about to begin. The Taoist priest has sent strong generals to help us, Fengming Village. It is us who should blame Haihan... Taoist priest, this is..."

Xie Hong quickly pulled Yuchi Gong over and introduced:

"He is my apprentice in Mayi, Shuozhou. His surname is Yuchi, his given name is Gong, and his surname is Jingde. His father, Yuchiyi, once served as the magistrate of Mayi County. However, due to the turmoil, he resigned and went into seclusion. When Jingde was seven years old, Yuchi After Yi died of illness, Jingde was raised by Yuchi Yi's sworn brother Qiao Gongshan..."

Xie Hong was introducing, Li Jing approached him and said:

"No need to say anything, Master Taoist. I have read the original work and know General Yuchi very well."

"In this case, I won't say much more... Jingde, come here and pay homage to Mr. Medicine Master. You will fight under his command from now on. Do you know that you have to be obedient?"

Yuchi Gong scratched his head:

"It's okay to be obedient, but weapons are needed to fight. I don't have a dick in my hand right now, so I can't fight with bare hands, right?"

In the original work, Yu Chigong's weapons were made by himself.

Xie Hong came to the door and asked Yuchi Gong to make a pair of thirteen-section steel whips. Yuchi Gong could decide on the weight, so he could use them easily.

Yu Chigong was very poor at the time. After accepting a deposit of 100 taels, he only focused on eating and drinking with Mei Xiuying and forgot about making a steel whip.

When the agreed date arrived, the blacksmith shop had not even prepared the iron ore.

However, fools are all stupid and bold, and Yuchi Gong is no exception. This guy had a brain attack, and took advantage of the night to smash a black stone man in front of the tomb of King Wu Ling outside the city, and brought it to the blacksmith shop to prepare for smelting iron.

He originally wanted to fool Xie Hong with the reason that he couldn't make iron, but when Xie Hong came, he said it was high-quality iron ore and asked Yu Chigong to make steel with his heart. After saying this, he dropped another hundred taels of silver and left.

Yu Chigong accepted the money and worked hard, and actually made a pair of steel whips. Unfortunately, he was negligent during the making and beat one of the steel whips into twelve sections.

When Xie Hong came, the guy kept apologizing, but Xie Hong liked it very much and thought that the steel whip was divided into a male and a female, which made a perfect pair.

Later, Yuchi Gong succeeded in his studies. When he was about to leave, he learned that Mei Xiuying was pregnant with Liujia, so he named the child Yuchi Baolin. He also kept the female whip at home and would take it out when father and son recognized each other in the future.

This also leads to the plot in Luo Tong's chapter about sweeping the north, where the son whips Lao Tzu.

Now that Xie Hong had gone several years ahead of schedule, the owner of the blacksmith shop was not Yuchi Jingde, so Xie Hong had no reason to approach his apprentice for the purpose of making a steel whip.

Li Jing said:

"Weapons are easy to handle. I will ask Your Highness Shimin to go over there later and buy a pair of steel whips and a long spear from the blacksmith Master Zhao... If Jingde is proficient in any other weapons, I can get them together for you."

Yuchi Gong became interested as soon as he heard the words of Master Zhao, the blacksmith:

"Are there also blacksmiths on the mountain? Then when my father-in-law comes in the future, won't it coincide? Mr. Medicine Master, why don't you let the blacksmith on the mountain change his career? The weapons my father-in-law forges are amazing, but his most powerful thing is giving birth to a daughter. Girl Xiuying is so pretty, I dream about her every day..."

Li Jing laughed dumbly:

"Don't worry, Master Zhao won't steal your business. When we take Jinyang, I will have someone follow you to Mayi to bring over your father-in-law's family. If you have a lot of credit, you can even ask the gods to help your father-in-law. Cure."

Two years after Yuchi Gong got married, his father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away one after another. Yuchi Gong and his wife inherited the family business. Although they had blacksmithing skills, they did not know how to run a business and lived a very miserable life.

If Boss Mei and his wife could live a few more years, Yu Chigong's life would be much brighter.

Yuchi Gong was confused by the words "god" and so on. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Jing:

"Mr. Pharmacist, can my adoptive father also be picked up?"

"When we go to pick up your father-in-law, we will arrange for someone to visit Qiaogong Mountain. He can come over or respond to us in Mayi... Qiaogong Mountain claims to have thousands of hectares of fertile land under its name. Is this true?"

Yuchi Gong was heartless and said immediately:

"More than a thousand, several thousand hectares. If you add in the mountains and the like, it would be tens of thousands of hectares. But he is stingy. Every time he gives me pocket money, he only gives me thirty or fifty taels, which is not enough at all."

Li Jing:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I've given you so much and it's still not enough. Do you know that Marshal Qin almost sold his horse for a little silver?

No wonder he inherited a blacksmith shop but was still starving. He was so heartless and did not look like a boss who could run a shop.

After greetings, Li Jing led them up the mountain.

When Wang Bodang heard that Xie Hong was coming, he quickly came over to pay his respects:

"Meet uncle...Hey, how did we meet? Why did I want to call you uncle as soon as we met?"

In the past, he and Xie Yingdeng were so close that they only wore a pair of trousers. After Xie Yingdeng left, he gradually forgot about this partner, but his relationship with Xie Hong did not seem to diminish.

Xie Hong said:

"You and my nephew are inseparable and we are brothers. He left this world last year and vented his anger on his adopted brother, so we forgot about him."

Wang Bodang had no impression at all:

"How do you know?"

"Qin Qiong told me...do you know these two people?"

Xie Hong pulled out a photo of Xie Yingdeng and Shan Xiongxin from his mobile phone. Wang Bodang came over and looked left and right. He was not impressed at all. Instead, he commented on their appearance:

"Can I have such a handsome brother? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible... But this guy with a blue face and a beard looks very loyal. Do I know him?"

"He was your former sworn brother. He was taken to another world by Qin Qiong. Later, he was plotted by a villain in that world. My nephew Yingden heard about it and traveled across time and space to vent his anger on him."

This act of loyalty made Uncle Wang's blood boil:

"What's the result? Kill the other party?"

Xie Hong nodded:

"An arrow pierced the lungs and he died after coughing all night. He deserved it. Now the two of them are living well there and are making contributions to the great man."

Although Wang Bodang did not remember Xie Yingdeng and Shan Xiongxin, he was very moved when he heard that he would travel across time and space to vent his anger on his brother:

"I, Wang Bodang, actually have such close friends. Thank you uncle for informing me. I don't know how to contact them. I want to know what happened to us in the past."

When Xie Hong saw that this guy had taken the bait, he waved his fly whisk and said:

"You can write a letter and ask His Highness Shimin or Qin Qiong to forward it to them, or you can go to Lishan Laomu Temple to pray. As long as you pray continuously for seven or seventy-nine days, you may see the two of them in that world."

When Uncle Wang heard this, he immediately decided to write a letter when he returned to the mountain and go to the temple to pray in the evening.

Although I don’t remember, since we have such a good and loyal brother, we should keep in touch.

When they came to the mountain, they happened to meet Li Shimin who was coming back with a spicy hot pot. The little guy wanted Li Jing to try the rice cooker, but he didn't expect that the room was full of people:

"Why are you here with the smell?"

Ten minutes later, in the real world, Li Yu was clearing away the dishes in the kitchen with a face full of surprise:

"You mean, Xie Hong led Yuchi Gong to Fengming Village?"

Li Shimin took a big sip of soda water, nodded and said:

"Yes, it was many years earlier than in the original work, so much so that Yu Chigong is still a child now, but he looks to be in his thirties, like the second brother Qin."

Isn't this too old-fashioned?

Li Yu thought for a while and said:

"You can take away all the braised food in the kitchen later, and treat it as if I'm inviting him to dinner. By the way, let Xie Hong stay at the village... Yu Chigong left the mountain so early, so his martial arts skills must not have been mastered yet. He needs to practice more, just in time. Let all the generals in the village follow suit."

"Okay, thank you sir!"

Yuchi Gong was the main force in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. At that time, Li Yuanji almost strangled Li Shimin with a bowstring. This guy knocked Li Yuanji unconscious and saved Li Shimin's life.

As the saying goes, there is no greater merit than the savior. Yuchi Gong also established his status among the generals of the Tang Dynasty through this attack.

Of course, the reason why Yuchi Gong was so actively involved in the Xuanwu Sect was because he knew that after the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji gained power, he would not end well.

After all, Yuchi Gong had taken three horse lances from Li Yuanji in a row during the competition, which made Li Yuanji lose face. Since then, he has been trying to find a way to kill Big Blackie.

Li Yu took out all the stewed food in the kitchen, which was full of two large basins. Li Shimin drove the electric tricycle over and took it away in one trip.

After finishing the work in the kitchen, Li Yu sent a WeChat message to Zhao Dahu:

"Tell me when you come back from the date. I want you to make some weapons."

"What do you want?"

"A pair of thirteen-section steel whips, which should be heavier, and a long lance, which is thicker... For now, these two things, when can you make them?"

Zhao Dahu sent the password of the electronic lock of the door of Longwangzhai:

"There are steel whips in the warehouse. I was going to use them for physical exercise last time, but they are too heavy. You can take them. As for lances, there are a lot of them in the warehouse. You can pick whatever you want. I'll give them to you."
