Qi Ning sighed: "According to the rules of the martial arts world, if he teaches you sword skills, he is considered your master."
Black Tiger Shark smiled indifferently and continued: "That man taught me the six moves of swordsmanship, and then left. He also said that we could meet again in the future if we were destined. The second brother saw that the man was very free and easy, and felt that it was a bit awkward to let him leave like this. It was rude, and it was already dark, there were no other villages within ten miles, and it was still snowing, so the second brother invited the man to our house for dinner. The man refused at first, but the second brother said he He taught me my swordsmanship, but I still have to thank him for a meal, so the man thought about it and agreed."
Mrs. Tian had already heard the smell at this time, and frowned and said: "Although he taught you sword skills, he is not a good person, so... you can't say for sure."
Black Tiger Shark said: "Our family prepared a sumptuous dinner that night, and it was cooked by the second sister-in-law herself. In fact, that person was not very talkative, but he told us what he saw and heard. We found the strange things we had seen in the world very novel and listened with great interest. We expected until midnight that he was going to say goodbye and leave, but we insisted on staying the night. In the end, he was too kind to refuse and stayed overnight. , but when we woke up the next morning, he had left."
Qining nodded slightly and listened to Black Tiger Shark continue: "We didn't pay too much attention to this unexpected encounter. A year later, we suddenly received a letter asking us to go to the East China Sea. The person who sent the letter still didn't pay attention to it. I specially brought a token there, which was the knife he wanted to give me. As soon as we saw the knife, we immediately thought of him. In addition to the knife, the messenger also brought us two Driving a carriage and having enough expenses."
"Donghai?" Mrs. Tian asked curiously: "That person... is from Donghai?"
Black Tiger Shark did not explain, but continued: "When we received that letter, we didn't know what to do for a moment, let alone what that person wanted to do. It's a long way from Hengyang to the East China Sea, and we have been at the foot of Hengshan Mountain for generations. We had never traveled such a long distance before. After some discussion at home, we finally rejected the matter and did not set off. After more than three months, the man suddenly came to the village in person, found us, and asked us with a smile why we didn’t Accept his offer."
"We didn't expect that man to go there in person. That night, the family cooked another meal, and the man finally told us his true identity." Black Tiger Shark said: "The man's surname was Shen, and his real name was Liang Qiu. At that time, he had already He is the deputy general beside the Commander-in-Chief of Donghai Navy...!"
Qi Ning's eyes twitched slightly, but Mrs. Tian's beauty turned pale and she said in surprise: "You... do you know General Shen?"
Shen Liangqiu was the vice-general of Donghai Navy, a general of the imperial court, and Black Tiger Shark was now the leader of a group of bandits at sea. One officer and one bandit. How could Mrs. Tian have imagined that these two people had a close relationship.
"We were shocked when we found out his identity at the time. The Mo family has been hunters for generations, and his friends are all ordinary people. Not to mention a high official like him, even a county official, we can't match him. "There was a trace of ridicule on the corner of Black Tiger Shark's lips: "We were very uneasy at that time and didn't know what he wanted to do. That night, he told us that my second brother and I were very good at archery. Archery, are we willing to be hunters all our lives? He said that as long as we are willing, we can come to the East China Sea with him and join the East China Sea Navy as soldiers. He said that within three years, both of us brothers will be promoted. , and also be able to honor our ancestors.”
Qi Ning didn't say anything. He vaguely felt something. Black Tiger Shark continued: "He left that night. Before leaving, he said that the carriage and transportation would be left at the entrance of the village. As long as we are willing, we can set off early the next morning. If he doesn't want to, he won't bother us again. That night our family discussed it again and again. The second brother felt that if he really stayed at the foot of the mountain all his life, it would be better to go out and have a try. Maybe he could really honor the Mo family's ancestors. When I was young and energetic, I naturally wanted to go out with my second brother to see the world. But my father asked us if we were really ready. He said that once we made a decision, we would have to bear all the consequences. Maybe we would really achieve military success and get promoted. Jue Guangzong Yaozu, but from now on, I can no longer live that peaceful life."
Qi Ning sighed: "Everything you gain must have something to lose. Your Majesty naturally knows this truth."
"When it was almost dawn, we finally decided to go out and have a try." Black Tiger Shark said in a very calm tone: "The original plan was for our family to leave, but my father said that he was old, and he and my mother were not willing. Traveling long distances, and not wanting to leave the place where we have lived for generations, we repeatedly persuaded my father to make up his mind. My father was only in his forties at the time, not considered old, and my two brothers wanted to make a career abroad. After a few years, when we have achieved success, we will take my parents over, so early the next morning, we said goodbye to our parents, and the second brother took his sister-in-law and me and left Hengyang together."
Qi Ning said: "So, have you ever been in the Donghai Navy?"
Black Tiger Shark nodded slightly: "Thirteen years ago, we came to the East China Sea for the first time. After arriving at the East China Sea, Shen Liangqiu had prepared a place for us. It was an ordinary house, but it was enough for us to settle down. Come home, but Shen Liangqiu didn't come forward about this matter from beginning to end. We stayed in Donghai for more than half a month and didn't see him. Half a month later, someone sent a letter saying that Shen Liangqiu asked us to go to Donghai. The division enlisted. In those years, the Donghai Division recruited soldiers every year. When we arrived, it happened to be the recruitment time, so my second brother and I went to apply, and we were successfully recruited into the Donghai Division. "
"After joining the army, we were given three days to arrange. After three days, we need to report to the military camp." Black Tiger Shark said: "The second brother was a little worried at the time. He and I both entered the military camp. I heard that the new recruits had to wait for the first half of the year. We have to train and are not allowed to leave the military camp, which means that we cannot see the second sister-in-law for half a year. The second sister-in-law lives alone in the city. She is a weak woman and is not familiar with the place. What should we do? The second brother said that we should go early Knowing that this is the case, we should leave our second sister-in-law in Hengyang, so there is no need to worry. Just when we were in extreme embarrassment, Shen Liangqiu finally arrived at our residence that night and saw us. He was very happy. In fact... we were also very happy."
Mrs. Tian's beautiful eyes turned slightly and her lips moved slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Shen Liangqiu said that we did not disappoint him. He told us that we would leave our future to him, and he would definitely allow us to make contributions to the Mo family and honor our ancestors." Black Tiger Shark said slowly: "It's just that he said that he would not let others down. Talk more. We can pretend not to know each other. Otherwise, if he takes care of us in the future, the soldiers will probably say that he is nepotistic, which is not good. We know that this is to avoid suspicion, so naturally we will follow his lead. He wanted to do it, but the second brother told him that he was worried about the second sister-in-law. Shen Liangqiu said that it was a small matter. He met a friend in the city who owned an embroidery shop, and asked the second sister-in-law if she could embroider? If so, , in the future, you can go to the embroidery village to work, and you can get a lot of wages every month. Second sister-in-law has been embroidering since she was a child, so this is no problem, so the second sister-in-law's matter was easily solved by Shen Liangqiu. "
The corners of Qi Ning's eyes twitched slightly, but he still looked at the Black Tiger Shark calmly.
"After we enlisted in the army, after half a year of training, we were able to go to sea." Black Tiger Shark said: "However, Shen Liangqiu never sent us a sea mission. I was very anxious. My second brother advised me not to be impatient. Shen Liangqiu took care of us and always gave us the opportunity to be rewarded for our meritorious service. A few days later, Shen Liangqiu found us and secretly told us that he had received news that there was a group of pirates occupying an isolated island in the sea, about a dozen or so. If you can catch all those pirates, you will definitely be rewarded. Do you dare to go?" At this point, a strange smile appeared on his lips: "We have been waiting for so long and have become impatient. Where can we go? Are there any places that you dare not go to? Seeing our agreement, Shen Liangqiu sent two ships with a total of more than 40 people to let us attack the island at night. Before setting off, Shen Liangqiu secretly told us that in the event of a fight, We must rush forward and cut off a pirate's head no matter what. Only by taking the pirate's head can he repay us."
"We set out as planned, found the island, and sneaked onto the island that night. We thought it would be easy for more than forty well-trained sailors to wipe out a dozen pirates, but... we didn't expect that, There are indeed pirates on that isolated island, but there are not a dozen of them, but more than a hundred, and they seem to know that we will attack the island at night, so they have already set up an ambush." Black Tiger Shark's eyes were like blades at this time As cold and sharp: "More than forty people fell into an ambush and fought desperately to break out. In the end, only a dozen people broke out to the seaside. The second brother was already seriously injured. When he reached the shore, he discovered that our two boats had disappeared. And the group of pirates had already chased me. My second brother told me that all this was no accident, it must be a trap. He told me to escape into the sea. Even if I died in the sea and was eaten by sharks, I couldn't stay on the island and wait for death...! "At this point, the Black Tiger Shark's voice suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere in the cave became extremely depressing for a while.
Qi Ning had already guessed the general outline of the matter, with a stern look on his face and still said nothing.
"I knew that I would definitely die if I stayed, but I couldn't leave my second brother alone. My second brother reprimanded me and said that a man cannot be a mother-in-law. He said that if I didn't leave, he... he would commit suicide in front of me. He said that he was already injured. You can't leave even if you go to the sea, so stay and help me resist those pirates...!" Black Tiger Shark's voice sounded again: "I know there must be something fishy about his actions that night. Instead of dying on the island inexplicably, it's better to escape. If it's true, If I survived, I could also investigate the truth... So I resolutely went into the sea and watched my second brother rushing towards the group of pirates...!"
