Zhao Zimu naturally found out that she was being followed, and immediately got rid of the person who followed her.
A faint smile appeared on his face. Tonight was really unexpected. Zhao Zimu looked in the direction of Situ Yuanxiao's mansion, and the corner of his mouth evoked a meaningful smile.
Four days later, in front of the courtyard of a house more than 300 miles southeast of Liangdu, a man in white with a dark mask with silver stripes stood at the door of the courtyard and pushed open the unguarded door.
Suddenly, a strong wind hit her head-on, but it suddenly stopped ten centimeters away from her, and a young man in black clothes appeared in front of her. He looked like he was in his twenties. Eyes, at the moment are opening big eyes, the eyes are in disbelief at first, and then there is ecstasy, and the lips are trembling: "Master!"
The man in white with the dark mask with silver stripes nodded slowly, and was about to walk in, when suddenly a man with a book on his head and a pen and ink in his hand ran out from the inside and shouted, "Today's meal I can't do it again, Ye Yiqiu, you're still unreasonable! The ancients said that blessing and suffering are the same, you are not following the teachings of sages and sages.
"Ah—" After a scream, the man with the pen and ink on his head suddenly ran towards Zhao Zimu, but before he could run to him, a chubby dimple in gold and silver suddenly didn't know what to do. Na rushed out and rushed to Zhao Zimu at a speed that broke the limit of his body, panting and shaking the fat on his face with a smile: "Master, master"
The person who was called the master by the black-clothed youths and scholars and wore a dark mask with silver stripes was Zhao Zimu.
Zhao Zimu always makes a disguise when she walks around the world. In order to avoid trouble, she either disguises herself as a man or wears a mask, and she doesn't want anyone to know her true identity.
Although Zhao Zimu never showed her true face in front of their eyes, they had a long time, because Zhao Zimu was too lazy to hide from them, so they vaguely felt that she was a woman, and she was not very old, but this did not hinder Their respect for her.
Zhao Zimu nodded, raised his feet and walked to the inner room. The scholar, the young man in black and the little fat brother looked at each other and hurriedly followed. After all, Zhao Zimu hadn't been back for a long time, and he missed him very much.
This yard was purchased by Zhao Zimu when he was traveling in the arena. It was not intended to be used for a long time, so it was a bit crude. There were not many rooms in the house, some things were also very crude, and there were not many flowers and plants in the courtyard.
But this place has changed a lot since she accepted three "apprentices". Although Zhao Zimu didn't enter her room, she could guess from the polished door that her room must be clean. , they do have a heart, Zhao Zimu said.
These people were all rescued by Zhao Zimu inadvertently, to the point that they sincerely regarded her as a teacher, and some of them were quite special.
After a few people finished it in the room, Zhang Yong, the scholar, said, "Master, please drink some water first."
"Go, junior brother, shouldn't you be cooking! The master is back today, and I want to eat braised pork!"
The little fat brother who turned gold and silver said that he felt that he was earlier than Zhang Yong, so he proudly considered himself his senior brother, and the two often liked to bicker because of this.
"Hey, I told you Liu Dejin, don't be unreasonable because you are young. Seeing that you are full of wealth and gold, do you still need to eat the rough food I made?"
Zhang Yong deliberately ridiculed him and said that he just couldn't stand the boy calling him junior and junior because he entered the school earlier than him.
"Jealous?" Liu Dejin is also not angry, anyway, the senior brother is going to cover the junior brother!
"Yiqiu", a clear and cold voice sounded, Ye Yiqiu immediately turned his eyes to the person who was speaking, and said firmly, "Yes."
"How many people are still in the Ye family's remnant, and are they under your orders?"
Ye Yiqiu said respectfully but without hesitation: "There are more than 30 people left, and they are completely under my command."
Ye Yiqiu was originally the son of a general of the Daliang Frontier Army, but his family was torn apart after his father's death, and some of his uncles and uncles robbed him of his power when he was young. If it doesn't go well, I want to kill him completely and replace him.
If it wasn't for his father and some loyal old subordinates to protect him, he would never have escaped the Ye family, but his uncle had the will to kill him, refused to let him go, and pursued him at any cost. After being seriously injured, if he hadn't met Zhao Zimu, he would probably not have survived, so he recognized Zhao Zimu as his teacher.
In fact, it is better to say that it is to serve Zhao Zimu, because he has already given his life to Zhao Zimu, no matter what Zhao Zimu asks him to do, he will not violate it.
Hearing her mention the remnants of the Ye family at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little strange and a little confused: "Master, what are you planning?"
"What if I let you and the remnants of the Ye family serve me?" Zhao Zimu asked, looking straight at him. She knew what Ye Yiqiu was thinking, but she didn't care if she didn't think it was necessary, but now she cares. .
Ye Yiqiu immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, but I dare not obey the orders."
Zhao Zimu said again: "The Ye family was originally from the frontier army in the northwest. I plan to enlist you. I want to see your achievements in three years."
"Yes!" Ye Yiqiu ordered, but hesitantly said, "Master, where can I see you again?"
If it weren't for Zhao Zimu, Ye Yiqiu might be dead by now, so he thinks his life is hers, even if he wants to die, he is willing to live here all the time so that she can use him one day, now the opportunity How could he not want to come
However, Zhao Zimu did not answer.
"Master, what about me? Do you need me to do something for you?" Little Fatty asked impatiently.
It's funny, this guy was originally the only son of a wealthy family. When he went home with his mother to save his relatives, he was targeted by the bandits because he was too ostentatious. At that time, he was only seven or eight years old, and it was Zhao Zimu who rescued him.
This little fat man may have listened to the picture book too much. Zhao Zimu calmly and easily forced a group of gangsters away in the shadow of swords and lights. This guy knelt down and shouted: "Master, please accept me as a disciple. ."
Zhao Zimu was already injured at the time and needed to find a place to recuperate. He did not refuse the Liu family's offer to ask her to stay, so he was entangled by the little fat brother named Liu Dejin. Although Zhao Zimu did not agree to him, he was right For the little fat brother, since he did not refuse, it would be the default, so this apprentice also became.
However, because of his father's early death, the family was in chaos. If it wasn't for Zhao Zimu's help, he might be living on the streets and become a beggar. Although he is small, he also knows how to repay his kindness, so he is willing to give all his wealth to Zhao Zimu.
The scholar-like youth said dissatisfiedly: "I can also do things for the master."
Liu Dejin snorted, put out his chubby little finger hilariously, took out his nostrils and said, "Hundreds of Useless are scholars."
"You, thank you for rubbing me so many braised pork!" Zhang Yong said angrily.
"Zhang Yong, are you willing to join the Eighth Prince's Mansion as a staff member?" Zhao Zimu suddenly said.
"Ah," Liu Bo was dumbfounded.
"You can do it if you don't want to. After all, this is also a trip to muddy waters." Liu Bo was originally a student of Guozijian. He was forced out of Liangdu because he offended the children of the powerful and he almost died of starvation on the deserted mountain road. If he hadn't met Zhao Zimu He may have been eaten by wolves before he died of starvation.
After Zhao Zimu rescued him, he left him here, because the little fat brother and Ye Yiqiu who came here often called Zhao Zimu their master, so Liu Bo also called him that, so even if Zhang Yong He was already a lot older than Liu Dejin and was called Junior Brother.
"No, I will." Liu Bo hurriedly said, "But master, are you planning to?"
Liu Bo is puzzled. Although he doesn't know what Zhao Zimu wants to do, he still understands the situation in the court. The factions are clear and the battle is fierce. The closest person, if the master wants to take a step in the court and the opposition, the position around Hachioji is definitely the most unfavorable.
Zhao Zimu did not explain, but said, "Just help the Eighth Prince with all your heart."
Liu Dejin said a little aggrievedly: "Master, as for me, I have money, I can give you as much as you want."
Zhao Zimu suddenly asked, "Don't practice martial arts anymore?"
The three of them were stunned. Liu Dejin touched his big belly, looked at his fat hands and feet, and said deflatedly, "Master, no need."
However, the three pairs of eyes secretly glanced at Zhao Zimu from the end of their eyes, wondering why the master, who had always ignored the world, was now more flamboyant than them.
Although Zhao Zimu didn't come back to this place often, maybe not a few times a year, and this time it was two full years after they met, but they still understood Zhao Zimu's temperament.
They don't ask about world affairs, they don't care about ordinary people, they are cold and distant, just like the clouds in the sky. They are dust-free, unattainable, and erratic.
And this time I came back for these mundane things. What happened? Master will be so different this time back.
"Do you like to make money?" Zhao Zimu said to Liu Dejin in confusion, but Liu Dejin nodded humbly, and seemed a little embarrassed.
"Develop the shop to the north, and I will give you something."
"Ah," Liu Dejin was stupid, but immediately said, "Okay."
"Master, can I do a little bit about the brothel business?" Liu Dejin said carefully.
"I don't care what you do, this time I ask you to collect money."
Liu Dejin responded with a smile, but Zhang Yong's heart skipped a beat, accumulating money
This time, his master has clearly put forward this request, which has never happened before.
No matter what they did in the past, she wouldn't ask, but now, is this situation a big deal? !
"When I'm gone, you can start taking action when you're ready," Zhao Zimu said and was about to leave.
The three became anxious, and Ye Yiqiu said immediately, "Master, are you leaving for a few days? You just came back this time."
"Yes, yes!" Liu Dejin and Zhang Yong also shouted, three pairs of eyes looking at her eagerly.
