"I'm just an idler in Qinghe County."
Li Yunze saluted again, "I came here just to become my disciple."
Zhou Tong looked at Li Yunze carefully, his eyes full of admiration, but what he said was, "I stopped accepting disciples many years ago."
"I am born with supernatural powers and extraordinary talents. I am a martial arts prodigy that is unique among thousands." Li Yunze boasted without hesitation, "Master Zhou, it is difficult to find an outstanding apprentice like me."
Because they had fought before, Zhou Tong knew this very well.
The young man in front of him had extremely good physical fitness, and his technical ability was extremely outstanding. Even in Zhou Tong's many years of career, he had never seen such a natural martial arts prodigy.
At Zhou Tong's age, he actually wanted to recruit a disciple, but Li Yunze's unknown origins and his proficiency in military battle formation killing skills made him hesitate.
"That's true." Li Yunze simply shook his head, waved his hands and turned to leave, "Such an outstanding apprentice will never come again if I don't accept him now."
"Wait a moment."
Seeing that Li Yunze was really about to leave, Zhou Tong finally stopped him and called out, "Do you have a guarantor?"
"I came from the countryside of Qinghe County. How can I have a guarantor in Bianliang City?" Li Yunze turned around and pointed at his face, "Look, there are no tattoos. I am a good citizen... a son of a good family!"
Not having tattoos on the face was indeed a sign of good people in the Song Dynasty of this era.
Zhou Tong no longer hesitated, nodded and showed the demeanor of a master: "I see that you have good bones, and I am willing to accept you as my disciple. Please follow me to perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
Becoming a master is not simply worshiping a master, but worshiping the ancestors of the master.
We need to have colleagues in the martial arts industry as witnesses.
Zhou Tong sent people out to find several well-known heroes in Bianliang City, and also called his great disciple Lin Chong over as witnesses.
Li Yunze finally met Lin Chong, the chief instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army.
I saw that Lin Chong was in his early thirties, with a leopard head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, and a tall and eight-foot-long figure. At a glance, he knew that he was a master of martial arts training.
I am also very curious about my master suddenly accepting a disciple.
Just like Li Yunze saw him, Lin Chong knew as soon as he saw Li Yunze that he was a master practitioner, and he had a chilling aura that only a Western Army warrior could have.
"Master." Lin Chong asked in a low voice, "Junior brother, what is his origin? There is so much murderous intent in him. Either he is from the military, or..."
If he is not from the military, he is a gangster.
Zhou Tong also regretted that he was too eager to see a good seedling.
We should first find out Li Yunze's identity.
But in this situation, the ceremony has been prepared. If you say wait, it will be a deadly feud.
"It's okay." Zhou Tong forced a smile and waved his hand, "Salute first."
The next step is to go through the process. First, they offer incense and salute to the ancestors of Zhou Tong's sect, then they serve tea to Zhou Tong, and finally Lin Chong, as a senior brother, reads out the sect rules and so on.
Witnessed by several heroes from Bianliang City, the entire process was quickly completed. From then on, Li Yunze could call himself Zhou Tong's disciple outside.
That night, Li Yunze took the initiative to invite his master and senior brother to have a meal together. .... "You don't have to spend so much money." Zhou Tong, who was strolling in the courtyard, waved his hands and said, "We will all be a family from now on, there is no need for this. Just have a meal at your senior brother's house."
"When a disciple is just starting out, he should always be filial." Li Yunze said with a smile, "It's just a meal, master, don't worry about it."
Zhou Tong was actually very rich, so he didn't think much after hearing this. He nodded and followed Li Yunze to Jiumenqiao Market.
This is the area with the highest concentration of famous restaurants in the entire Bianliang City. Famous restaurants such as Xingle Tower, Hele Tower, Yuxian Tower, Shi Tower, Ban Tower, Pan Tower, Qianchun Tower, etc. are all here.
As soon as you enter the street, you can see the flags fluttering in front of various restaurants, as if they are blocking out the sky!
Zhou Tong looked at the many luxurious carriages in front of him who came to have wine and banquets. He sighed and shook his head, "This place is too expensive. Which one did you choose?"
After leading Zhou Tong to a restaurant lit by countless lanterns and torches at night, Li Yunze smiled and gestured, "This is it."
Raising his head and looking at the restaurant in front of him, Zhou Tong was immediately dumbfounded.
It is actually the most famous and expensive Fan Tower in Bianliang City!
In the beginning, this place got its name from the sale of alum, and was called Alum Tower, Alum Tower.
Later, he switched to the wine business and was called Fan Lou because of the homophonic pronunciation. In fact, the real name of the restaurant at this time is Fengle House.
It's just that because Fan Lou's name is too loud, they are all called Fan Lou.
"A meal here costs at least ten taels of silver." Zhou Tong looked at Li Yunze blankly, "What's wrong with ten taels of silver? Come here to have a drink?"
"Isn't this to honor the master?" Li Yunze waved his hands with a smile, "It's just a mere external thing, it's not worth mentioning."
At this moment, Zhou Tong really started to worry, worried that Li Yunze was a thief.
Otherwise, how could a boy from the countryside have such huge financial resources?
After a while, Lin Chong, who had gone home to pick up his wife for the banquet, drove a carriage over in person.
"Master, junior brother." Lin Chong apologized as he hurriedly got off the carriage, "I'm late, there's a traffic jam on the road."
Yes, even in this era, there are still traffic jams, especially in Bianliang City, the most prosperous street in the world.
The door curtain of the carriage was opened, and Lin Chong helped his wife get out of the carriage.
Li Yunze stared at the Lin family's wife with sharp eyes.
Don't get me wrong, he's not a traitor, he's just out of curiosity.
After all, Lin Chong's series of tragedies stemmed from the fact that the Lin family's wife was too beautiful.
The name of this lady of the Lin family is known to many people even in later generations.
The Lin family's wife's name is Zhang Zhenniang, and she is the daughter of the former instructor Zhang of the Forbidden Army. After marrying Lin Chong, the couple lived a really good life until they met Gao Yanei. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Speaking of Gao Qiu in real history, he had several sons, and there was no godson at all.
But who told this to be a mixed world between Water Margin and A Ping Mei? Different parallel worlds have completely different encounters and lives.
Just like Li Yunze, who searched Bianliang City in the Jingkang world before and couldn't find Lin Chong. …."I've met the master, I've met the junior brother."
Zhang Zhenniang's appearance is outstanding, but she is not at the level of Master Li.
It's just that its special attributes are indeed very attractive to people with Cao thief attributes. I guess Gao Yanei is also a similar person...ah! How could I, the Holy Emperor, be in the same league as Gao Yanei? Slander, it’s all slander!
When Li Yunze was lost in thought, Zhou Tong bumped into him and said, "Your sister-in-law is talking to you."
"Ah? Ah."
Li Yunze came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, please."
A man from Fan Lou came over and took the carriage away. Li Yunze and the others strode into the Fan Tower.
"Uh, why didn't you reserve a seat?" The Fan Tower was extremely lively, with people coming and going. Lin Chong, who had obviously been here before, saw that there was no vacancy in the hall and immediately became unhappy, "Didn't you reserve a seat? Why didn't you reserve one?"
"Master Zhou, Coach Lin, a high-ranking official of the Wu family." The high-end waiter, who could also be said to be the third shopkeeper and the fourth shopkeeper, walked forward with a smile and led the way. "The Qingfeng Pavilion ordered by the high-ranking official of the Wu family is ready."
Lin Chong was shocked. "The private room you booked? At least forty taels!"
"It's just a small amount of money, don't worry about it." Li Yunze waved his hand indifferently, "Let's go."
The group of people went upstairs to a box where they could see the palace in the distance when they opened the window.
After sitting down, Lin Chong also marveled, "I've been here before, but I just sat in the hall. This is the first time I've come in this kind of private room."
Li Yunze looked at him with a strange expression.
The Lin Chong in front of him was completely different from the one in the TV series he watched.
That Lin Chong was very indifferent. Even on Liangshan Mountain, he only interacted with a few people. On weekdays, he was like a stuffy gourd, rarely speaking a word.
But the Lin Chong in front of him looked like a talkative man.
You can understand it if you think about it. The job is quite satisfactory, at least the reputation is big enough.
The highly respected master is still there, and the charming and considerate wife by his side is still there. My life was pretty good, and of course I didn't have the pain and hatred that comes after a family is broken up.
"This is my first time here too." Li Yunze smiled broadly, as if he was a rich man from the countryside. "Let's just eat and drink."
However, in fact, in the Jingkang world, he had been to this Fan Building countless times. He even inscribed several boxes, and this Qingfeng Pavilion is one of them.
Fortunately, Li Yunze has already adapted to a different world and a different life, and is enjoying it.
Fan Lou is able to maintain the title of No. 1 in the world in Bianliang City, where there are many wealthy people. Of course, he has real ability.
One after another exquisite dishes were served, and jugs of top-quality wine were served on the table.
Several beautiful girls sat down behind the bead curtain with musical instruments in their arms, and began to play with them.
The incense burner in the room was lit with the finest incense, which was said to be the same type used in the palace.
The blue smoke of birds rose, giving the box a hazy color.
The dishes are extremely exquisite, and they are not chicken, duck or fish in the traditional sense. Such dishes cannot even be served on the tables in the hall.
The sheep sent from Guanzhong were made into various exquisite ingredients. ….The expensive shipping costs alone for clams and shrimps fished out of the sea are enough to stun ordinary people.
In addition, some dishes with bears and tigers as raw materials have never been seen in ordinary people's homes.
If nothing else, at least Lin Chong was smacking his lips, "Such a lot of hard food, at least it costs seventy or eighty taels."
Li Yunze smiled and said nothing, picked up the exquisite wine jug and poured wine for Zhou Tong and Lin Chong, "Don't worry about these small things, just drink."
The wine is naturally Fan Lou's signature drink, and it's not expensive at all, only three or four taels of silver per bottle.
Of course it's not expensive in Fanlou, but it's enough to enjoy the best food and drinks in an ordinary restaurant.
Eat, drink, talk and laugh. The atmosphere was very harmonious as we talked about things like physical fitness and martial arts.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
The senior waiter of the restaurant came in and saluted respectfully, "Master, the guest has arrived."
Zhou Tong and Lin Chong were both surprised, "You invited someone else?"
"Yes." Li Yunze stood up and went out to meet "people who can be helpful to senior brother's career."
For Lin Chong, Gao Qiu, a captain of the Imperial Army, was a god-like existence.
But this is Bianliang City, and Gao Qiu can't cover up the sky with one hand, not to mention that his true identity is still a military general, even a lieutenant!
To deal with Gao Qiu, you have to use a real bandana to suppress him.
Therefore, Li Yunze arranged the candidates early in the morning.
"Xiao Xianggong Cai, Liang Zhongshu. You are so polite~~~"
