Chapter 242 The old teacher Cheng
The goose feathers in the sky seemed to be falling down endlessly, with snow flying, as if the universe was about to turn upside down.
Fan Xiu'an just took the tent for a moment and was like a snowman. Five days after leaving Gubei Village, the blizzard had been going on for several days, and it was difficult to tell the direction in the end, which forced him to stop and wait until the blizzard was over before embarking on the road.
A coal stove was grown in the cowhide tent, which was as warm as spring. Fan Xiu'an shook off the snow on the cloak and soon turned into snow water on the ground. He walked to the table where the tea set was placed. He took paper and pen, drank tea, and painted and wrote on the map beside him.
Although Gao Jin did not agree to the prospecting, Fan Xiu'an knew that Gao Jin must have a large mine in his hands, but he just didn't want to take it out at this time. "It's really wary."
Fan Xiu'an muttered to himself that he didn't care about Gao Jin's hidden vigilance. There was no reliable friendship these days, let alone a businessman like him, as long as someone gives away enough chips to impress him, he would also betray Gao Jin without hesitation.
But now it seems that the interests of him and Gao Jin will only increase. Moreover, Gao is simply ignoring the consequences when he should be bold in doing things, and he is cautious when he should be careful and takes every step forward, so that people will not be able to catch his handle.
Such a partner is really the kind he hates the most. He sighed softly, Fan Xiu'an put down his pen and took a sip of tea, but thought of Fan Yong, who was sent to Yan'an Prefecture by him. I don't know if he had found the coach Cheng.
At this moment, the big tent was suddenly lifted open, and the warmth in the tent was washed away by the cold wind. Fan Xiu'an looked up and said, "What's the matter?"
"Master, it's Fan Yong who is back, and there is also coach Cheng with him..."
Chen Hu felt that Fan Yong and the others were lucky enough. They could still run into such a blizzard, and they didn't miss it. It was really a blessing from God.
"Oh, Teacher Cheng is here too, why don't you invite me in now."
Fan Xiu'an hurriedly said that when he was in Camel City before, he was worried that Gao Jin would be short of soldiers and generals, and knew that Gao Jin Mulan and coach Cheng had some connection, so he asked Fan Yong to go to Yan'an Prefecture to see if he could invite the other party.
Fan Xiu'an also knows the temperament of coach Cheng. People say that he is old and his anger has faded, but coach Cheng is old and stronger, and his nature is like a fire. He has been running around the border for more than ten years. With his martial arts skills, it is not difficult to get a job, but it is difficult to get what he wants. He is not that bad temper.
"Yes, Master."
Not long after Chen Hu left, he led an old man with white beards into the tent, and he and Fan Yong followed behind the old man.
"Teacher Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to be so tough. It's really envious of Fan."
"Mr. Fan is still in style."
Looking at Fan Xiu'an who was smiling, Cheng Chongdou just bowed his hand and then sat down in Fan Xiu'an's greeting and asked impatiently, "Master Fan, why are you here? What's the war in Gubei Village?"
Cheng Chongdou has been traveling in the world for twenty years. After his martial arts skills were accomplished, he made a great reputation in the world. However, his ambition in life was not to be a knight in the world, but to make contributions to the border immediately. However, people with real skills like him are often arrogant and unwilling to be a clear guest who decorates his storefront in those high-ranking doors.
But the war here is not something that a gangster like him can participate in. Over the past ten years, he has been back and forth between Shaanxi, Gansu and Liaodong, and has taken many disciples. He has also talked about it in the residences of those officials, but there is no further information. People just use his name as a topic of discussion, and some officials even humiliated him in person because he is a vulgar martial artist and dares to talk about war.
Cheng Chongdou has seen it clearly in recent years. A martial artist like him is considered a powerful man in his hometown. Local officials may look up to him at a high level, but in this nine-sided area, no matter how good his martial arts are, he is just regarded as a brave man.
If Fan Yong hadn't come to Yan'an Prefecture to find him this time, Cheng Chongdou had already planned to take a few disciples back to his hometown to open a museum and recruit disciples next year, and compile the martial arts experience he had learned over the years into a booklet and pass it on. Since ancient times, "Fist is afraid of being strong, so old people don't use muscles and bones as their ability." He is old and can fight in the border area for a few years, and you need to know that all his name is made.
After Fan Yong came to the door, he talked about Hekou Fort. Cheng Chongdou remembered the past ten years ago. He learned martial arts when he was young. When he became an adult, he visited famous teachers and learned arts. He learned many schools such as Emei Guns, Ma Family Guns, and Sha Family Pole. Most of them were mainly Jianghu Wanhua Guns. Later, he met the master of guns, Li Kefu, Liu Guangdu and the master of Japanese swords, Liu Sanfeng. After learning the spear technique, he entered Heluo from Shandong and then to Jiubian, challenging famous masters and generals in the army to hone their martial arts.
Cheng Chongdou made the name of invincible in Heluo, Shandong, but when he arrived at Jiubian, he realized that the border army was hiding dragons and tigers. The real master was not in the world, but in the army, it was also at that time that he gradually integrated the martial arts he learned.
Gao Jin's father Gao Chong was famous on Shenmu East Road more than ten years ago. At that time, it was not too long since the imperial court's battle to fight against Japanese devils. Gao Chong once took seven Japanese generals in Goryeo, and killed the Japanese pirates in the Bituguan Battle and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to make the Japanese pirates frightened. When Cheng Chong Dou was hanging out in Liaodong, he also heard about Gao Chong's name from several veterans of the Li family. At that time, the Japanese pirates even called Gao Chong to be Gao Yasha because he was like an immortal ghost in the face of the battle.
Cheng Chongdou naturally did not want to let go of such an opponent. He stayed in Hekou Fort for more than two months. During this period, he competed with Gao Chong and the veterans of the Gao family caravan every few days. He learned the essence of the ten-final and ten-sweeping swords from Gao Chong. Although he won the competition later, he knew in his heart that Gao Chong's gun skills could only be truly decided on the battlefield where life and death were fought.
As for Gao Jin and Mulan, Cheng Chongdou was also impressed by him. Although Gao Jin was young at that time, he practiced the basic skills of gun skills the most. The veterans of the Gao family caravan were all cruel to their children, but Gao Jin was the only one who persisted in practicing big guns. However, Cheng Chongdou was the girl named Mulan. Although she was a girl, she could bear hardships and was extremely smart. He taught her General Liu's sword skills and learned it clean in two months.
Later, Cheng Chongdou traveled around the nine sides, thinking about making achievements, but he suffered repeated setbacks until now he was disheartened. This time, he heard from Fan Yong that his old friend was in trouble, so he summoned his disciples to go to Gubei Village to help, but in the end he received dozens of disciples in Yan'an Prefecture, only a few five people followed him.
"Teacher Cheng is afraid he will be disappointed. The battle in Gubei Village is over."
Looking at Cheng Chongdou, who was sitting down and fighting in Gubei Village, Fan Xiu'an knew that although this old man was old, he had never feared fighting. He accepted disciples in the local area, often swept away bandits, captured strong men, and kept the local area safe.
"This thief army is powerful, why has it been completed? Mr. Fan didn't mess with me."
Cheng Chongdou stared at Fan Xiu'an, his white eyebrows trembled, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
"Teacher Cheng, what do I want you to do? Let's listen to me..."
Fan Xiu'an knew Cheng Chongdou's temperament, so he immediately told the whole story of the war in Gubei Village. Cheng Chongdou couldn't help but nodded.
When he heard that Gao Jin had always attacked the crowd with few people on the city wall that day, killing the bandits and bandits without a single indecisive attack, Cheng Chongdou couldn't help but lose his composure. After a long time, he said, "Brother Gao said that even if his personal martial arts skills are strong on the battlefield, if he does not have the help of his comrades and personal soldiers, he will die in his hands and will be killed by only a few swords and guns. I will definitely not deceive me."
"How can you compare to fighting alone and then fight!"
"Brother Gao, you have a good son!"
Cheng Chongdou was very moved. He was going to Gubeizhai to help, but he didn't expect that Gao Jin had defeated the enemy with few people and had already wiped out all the thieves. He had never seen such military skills in the nine sides for so many years.
"Teacher Cheng, when the heavy snow stops, why not follow me to Camel City?"
The imperial government looked down on martial artists like Cheng Chongdou, but big businessmen like Fan Xiu'an were different. He really wanted to take Cheng Chongdou under his command and be the head coach of the Fan family caravan. Shaanxi is not as good as the mainland, especially outside the borders and borders. The so-called business route is also a killing route. The merchants compete not only for financial resources, but also for force.
"Mr. Fan shouldn't have refused, but now that he knows that his old friend has a promising future, the old man always wants to go and see it."
Cheng Chongdou politely rejected Fan Xiu'an. He would become nostalgic when he gets old. Thinking of drinking and eating meat with the old men in the Gao family caravan more than ten years ago in Hekou Fort and competing with martial arts, Cheng Chongdou couldn't help but want to meet Gao Jin and Mulan, and then go to Gao Chong's tomb to burn incense.
"Since that's the case, then coach Cheng will stay here first. When the heavy snow stops, how can we go on our own?"
Although Fan Xiu'an was disappointed, he still acted quite politely. He couldn't get it in this battle, and the old man, his disciple, would never refuse.
After seeing Gao Jin's powerful force, Fan Xiu'an couldn't help but think about it. Although he had two hundred horses under his command, it was still too far behind those of the Gao family's soldiers. It would be nice if Cheng Chongdou's disciples could collect some of them.
"Then thank you Mr. Fan."
It was a bit unbearable for the elderly Cheng Chongdou to go on the road in the wind and snow, not to mention that he had to consider the five disciples he accompanied.
Cheng Chongdou and the others were naturally arranged to live in a tent. From the teacher, he knew that the battle in the Hekou Fort was over. Cheng Chongdou's five disciples were a little disappointed. They followed the teacher to Gubei Village to help. First, they admired the teacher's character, and second, they wanted to find a background under the senior brother Gao.
After Cheng Chongdou and his friends set off from Yan'an Prefecture that day, they stayed in Camel City for one night. Among the five disciples, who had rich experience in the martial arts world, they carefully investigated it in the city. They knew that although the senior brother Gao was not old, he was valued by the eldest son of the General Office, and his future was limitless.
Cheng Chongdou knew a little more about the thoughts of the five disciples, but he was no longer as hard as he was back then. Since these five disciples were willing to take the risk of going to Gubei Village to help, it was understandable that they wanted to seek some benefits.
"Since you have learned from me, aren't you confident that you can fight for a future with the sword and gun in your hands?"
Cheng Chongdou knew about Gao Jin from Fan Xiu'an, and knew that he had established a considerable foundation in Hekou Fort and Gubei Village. It was the time when he was employed. Although his five disciples were a little selfish, they were still loyal people with reliable character. If Gao Jin still recognized him as a teacher, he would be willing to shamelessly seek a chance for these five disciples to advance to Gao Jin.
"The teacher has taught me a lesson. We should use the sword and gun in our hands to fight for a future with our senior brother..."
