Zhang Lingfeng knew that Xu Xian was definitely not an ordinary person. If he could take Xu Xian as his teacher, the revitalization of Longhu Mountain would be just around the corner.
However, Xu Xian was unwilling to accept a disciple, which troubled Zhang Lingfeng.
"Even if we can't be masters and apprentices, we can still be friends or brothers."
Zhang Lingfeng's thoughts turned to lightning, he took out the copper coins from his sleeve, and calculated a hexagram. Looking at the hexagram image, he couldn't help but said with great joy:
"Let's just be brothers. As long as we can lure Yue Fei into the water, I'm not afraid that Xu Xian won't agree to it."
Yue Fei has been making a living by breaking boulders on Zhuque Street for some time.
Zhang Lingfeng saw that Yue Fei had a majestic appearance and a majestic air. He seemed to have the air of a general in every move of his hands and feet, so he did a fortune-telling for Yue Fei and found that Yue Fei's origins were not simple, and his future achievements would also be extraordinary.
To meet such a strange person as Yue Fei, Zhang Lingfeng would of course have to get close and make friends with him.
Under Zhang Lingfeng's eloquent words, she became friends with Yue Fei and understood the reason why Yue Fei came to Kaifeng Mansion.
Yue Fei was born in an ordinary farm family in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, Hebei West Road.
When Yue Fei was born, a large bird like a swan flew over the room, so his parents named him Fei, with the courtesy name Pengju.
When Yue Fei was a boy, he was a man of few words and often lost his integrity. He likes to read books such as Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals and Sun Wu's Art of War.
He once worshiped Zhou Tong as his teacher, learned riding and archery, and was able to shoot left and right bows.
After Yue Fei accomplished his art, Zhou Tong left Tangyin County and traveled around the world.
Yue Fei later became a disciple of Chen Guang and learned the art of swords and spears. His martial arts skills were "invincible in a county".
Yue Fei was born with supernatural powers. When he was less than twenty years old, he could draw a three-hundred-jin bow and shoot an eight-stone crossbow, which was "miraculous to people of his time."
After turning eighteen, Yue Fei joined the army in Tangyin County. Because of his bravery and proficiency in fighting, he was quickly promoted to captain of the unit.
In addition to suppressing bandits and suppressing peasant uprisings, the armies in various parts of Dachu also had another important responsibility, which was to make money.
Chu Huizong was very stingy with the army and advocated self-sufficiency in the army.
Where does the money come from? Of course it goes to those rich people who have money but no background.
The commander of the capital asked Yue Fei to lead a group of people to pretend to be bandits, kill the entire family of a famous good man in Tangyin County, and take back all the gold, silver and jewelry from the good man's house.
Yue Fei refused, and the commander in chief angrily dismissed Yue Fei as captain, promoted him to deputy captain, and allowed Yue Fei to participate in the robbery as a team member.
Yue Fei was so angry that he went to the county government office to beat drums and complain, and asked the county magistrate to report the violations of the command to the court.
The county magistrate and the capital commander worked together, and the county magistrate also had a share in the stolen silver. Yue Fei's behavior was to undermine them.
The commander of the capital wanted to promote Yue Fei, so he tested Yue Fei before promoting him. He said that Yue Fei was too impatient and needed experience. He dropped the promotion, dismissed him as captain, and became a team member first.
The county magistrate also said that Yue Fei was too young and did not know how to distinguish between right and wrong and needed more experience.
What Yue Fei offended was the magistrate of Tangyin County and the commander of the garrison. The two biggest people in the county were extremely dissatisfied with him, and his path to promotion was completely cut off.
Yue Fei knew that his future would be gloomy if he stayed in Tangyin County any longer, so he proposed to leave the military camp and go home to farm.
The capital commander was very dissatisfied with Yue Fei for disobeying orders and going to the county government to complain. He originally planned to expel Yue Fei from the military and kick him out of the military camp.
Yue Fei took the initiative to resign, but the commanders wanted to make Yue Fei sick and found excuses not to let him go.
From then on, the credit for Yue Fei's meritorious service was given to others.
Even so, Yue Fei still endured it.
Dachu planned to unite with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. They recruited troops from all over the country, and Tangyin County also had a certain quota of troops.
Yue Fei had no hope in Tangyin County and wanted to attack the Liao Kingdom. The county magistrate and the capital commander were afraid of revenge if Yue Fei came forward, so they rejected Yue Fei's request and allowed Yue Fei to stay in Tangyin County.
Living a depressing life and struggling to fulfill his ambitions, Yue Fei became so angry that he couldn't even afford to fall ill.
Yue Fei had been ill for more than a month. He couldn't eat and even vomited what he managed to eat. He was so thin that he seemed like he might die at any time.
When the day came for the salary distribution, Yue Fei was dismissed from the military with a stroke of his pen, and his salary was saved.
Yue Fei was not really sick, he just felt that there was no future in Tangyin County. When the national recruitment started, it would not be easy for Yue Fei to leave the military camp, so he came up with the plan of pretending to be sick.
After returning home, Yue Fei still pretended to be ill and lay down for a while. When the county magistrate and the capital commander relaxed their guard against him, Yue Fei said goodbye to his mother and prepared to go to Kaifeng Mansion.
Mother-in-law Yao was a woman with a profound understanding of righteousness. She actively encouraged Yue Fei to "serve the country through the army" and tattooed the four words "Serve the country with loyalty" on Yue Fei's back.
Yue Fei kept his mother's teachings in mind, reluctantly said goodbye to his relatives, left Tangyin County, and embarked on the road to Kaifeng Mansion.
After arriving in Kaifeng Mansion, Yue Fei discovered that the threshold of officials was too high and he couldn't reach it. He ran out of money and had no choice but to make a living by performing arts.
Those who performed on Zhuque Street to smash rocks on their chests, hungry and full, did not get any reliable opportunities, and Yue Fei was too embarrassed to be associated with playboys like Gao Yanei.
Until now, Yue Fei is still worried about three meals a day. He wants to join the army to serve his country, but he can't find a way.
This period of time in Zhuque Street was the darkest day in Yue Fei's life.
Although Zhang Lingfeng didn't do very well, his innate magic skills were not just for boasting. He knew that Yue Fei's future achievements would be limitless, but he was just one chance away.
Xu Xian can be Yue Fei's opportunity, because Xu Xian has an irreversible friendship with Zuo Xiang Zhuge Banshan, and is also a chess mate with the Eight Sages.
Information about Da Chu is very underdeveloped. Although Xu Xian is famous in Hangzhou and Zhenjiang Prefectures, not many people know about Xu Xian outside Jiangnan.
There is no legend about Xu Xian in Tangyin County where Yue Fei is located.
Xu Xian's rise has only lasted a few months. Although he has done many earth-shattering things, he has not yet become the protagonist in the storyteller's story, nor can he become famous in the streets.
What Xu Xian did was so legendary that it attracted the attention of the Xingchu League and reported it to Chu Huizong.
Chu Huizong talked about Xu Xian in the court again, and the officials in the court knew about Xu Xian's existence.
Therefore, the legend about Xu Xian spread in Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhang Lingfeng had been hanging out in Kaifeng Mansion for many years and had made friends with people from all walks of life, so he had heard about Xu Xian's story.
At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng planned to win over Xu Xian and Yue Fei by virtue of his knowledge of their extraordinary abilities. He could also take the opportunity to make friends with them.
Zhang Lingfeng said:
"Brother Yue, I once told you that you will definitely be a dragon or a phoenix among men in the future, and your achievements will be immeasurable. You, a thousand-mile horse, just haven't met your Bole."
Yue Fei sighed:
"Ideals have lost to reality. Now I'm thinking whether I should just go home and farm."
Zhang Lingfeng smiled and said:
"Brother-in-law, don't be discouraged. The opportunity you have been waiting for has come."
Yue Fei asked:
"What opportunity? Why don't I know about it at all?"
Zhang Lingfeng said inexplicably:
“Far away, yet so close.
Brother-in-law's son has already arrived, but there is still little chance of fate. Pindao is willing to facilitate this fate for brother-in-law. "
