Take the mall to Datang

Xue Li came back a week later, dragging a sledge with a big black bear on it.

When he first entered Chang'an, he was almost captured by officers and soldiers. After reporting his name and Yuan Shan's name, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate followed him along the way.

"Lao Zhang is very surprised to see the big knife on the young man's back, how can he play with such a long handle." A soldier said casually.

"Hey, that's a saber. It's a possession of Yan Bei, the guard of the Hou Mansion. Let's follow if it's a member of the Hou Mansion. If it's not a good person, we will arrest him." The soldier surnamed Zhang said.

"Look at how big this bear is, and it doesn't take much effort to drag it all the way. It's really fierce. Lao Zhang, are you sure we are his opponents?"

The two officers and soldiers followed all the way behind and chatted without saying a word.

There were more onlookers around, knowing that Xue Li entrusted Xiong to the gate of Lantian Hou's Mansion.

Yuan Shan in Hou's mansion heard Caiyi's report and went out with a group of people, and saw Xue Li dragging a bear back with a group of people.

"Xue Li from Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, came to send the ceremony of apprenticeship." Xue Li called out at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

It is a good show to act first and hear later, create facts and then report them.

"It's good for young people to be motivated, but it's too risky to hunt bears alone," Yuan Shan said.

"My husband's wounds should have been scratched by bears, but he has avoided many fatal injuries." Du Qianyu said.

"He has a loyal face in his life, but he does things so rashly, if he doesn't keep his disciples properly, he will cause trouble in the future." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Boy, is the injury on your body serious?" Yan Bei went up and asked, although he was very concerned about his saber, he still cared more about human life.

"It's very sincere, but the rules can't be broken." Yuan Shan said.

Xue Rengui was very happy when he heard it at first, but then he became a little frustrated.

"Benhou felt that the breast meat was quite fresh, so he paid a hundred gold to buy it, and it was regarded as an ingredient for the apprentice banquet." Yuan Shan said.

"You kid, don't hurry up and express it." Yan Bei reminded.

Xue Rengui was a little rough and at a loss, fell down and knelt down, and worshiped Yuan Shan as his teacher in such a high-profile way in front of everyone.

"Yan Bei sent him to be bandaged, and we'll talk about anything after he recovers." Yuan Shan immediately ordered.

Yuan Shan entered the Hou's mansion after giving orders, and his heart jumped a little. It was breast meat in front of him, but he didn't say that he couldn't eat it in Datang.

Back in the room, Dugu Ruolan and Du Qianyu followed in. The two of them became closer after they got together with Du Qianyu, and they almost got close when they entered the boudoir.

"My husband doesn't like high-profile things, and I've gone too far in apprenticeship, what will others think." Dugu Ruolan said.

What she thought was not how to accept apprentices, but that Yuanshan needed to pay 100 taels of gold in the capital. Sheng Chao face.

At present, this incident happened again in Chang'an City, the aspiring young people did not join the officers and soldiers, but they paid homage to Yuan Shan's name in a high-profile way.

"Forget about extraordinary people who do extraordinary things. The young man is young and vigorous, and he is not so thoughtful in doing things. I think he has the courage to take action in order to achieve his goals. If he trains well, he may really be able to produce talents." Yuan Shan said.

How could Yuan Shan not know that Xue Li's ability to follow Yanbei to Chang'an was probably not because of Yuan Shan, but because of his ambition for next year's civil and military science examinations. A top card ranking, and then joining the Tang Dynasty's official army, is naturally a matter of course.

Chapter 655

The story of Yuan Shan's apprenticeship was spread in Chang'an, but what attracted attention was the matter of Xue Li's bear hunting, which became a topic after dinner.

"Brother, have you heard that the apprentice of the Marquis of Lantian can hunt bears alone at a young age, and it is said that his arms are as powerful as a thousand catties."

"You are not bragging, no one is so powerful, you think they are the same as King Chu." The little brother said in disbelief.

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes today. The man named Xue Li brought back a whole bear with a sledge alone. At that time, there were officers and soldiers from the city gate accompanying him."

"Is it true?" the little brother said hesitantly.

While the two were chatting, another group of people came in and ordered a jug of wine in the restaurant and began to talk. The little brother believed it when he heard it...

A few days later, when Xue Li walked out of the Hou's mansion, he became a favorite of the neighbors in the neighborhood, and people greeted him wherever he went.

"Xiaoxue, you are famous. Master Hou has always disliked high-profile appearances. Under such circumstances, being able to accept you as a disciple shows that Master Hou is optimistic about you. Don't let Master Hou be disappointed. You should pay more attention to your words and deeds when you go out in the future. "Yan Bei, who was following Xue Li, said.

"I remember what Uncle Yan said." Xue Li said.

The two were going to the Lantian Medical Center for reexamination. Xue Li was in good health and recovered quickly from his injuries. He didn't want to go to the medical center, but Yan Bei would not act hastily, so he took him to the medical center in person.

After getting on the train, even Xue Li, who was usually very calm, seemed a little panicked at this moment.

"Relax, it's no different from making a carriage as usual, it's just a little faster, don't you think it's very stable?" Yan Bei said.

After getting used to it, Xue Li found a topic to relax himself, and said, "Uncle Yan, your saber is really powerful. If I didn't have this saber, I might die in my chest."

"Also, you kid is really messing around, what if something happens to someone."

When he said this, he actually felt very distressed about Zhan Dao at the beginning.

"Next time, no, there is no next time, don't even think about fighting my sword again." Yan Bei said.

"Uncle Yan, please forgive me for being reckless before. I really had no choice but to seek a teacher without too many worries." Xue Li said.

"When you first met you, kid, you thought you could hold your breath. Unexpectedly, you are quite thoughtful. I don't know whether your choice is right or wrong. Maybe it's like Lord Hou said, people Sometimes there is no distinction between right and wrong when it is beneficial to oneself, because at that time people only have interests in their eyes." Yan Bei said.

With a sentence that sounded random, Xue Li fell into silence. He really used a conspiracy in the matter of apprenticeship, and he didn't consider the consequences because he knew that Yuan Shan was unpredictable and informal. It is also possible if Renmian does not accept him as an apprentice.

But he also thought that Yuan Shan's ability to let Yanbei go to the village to find him quietly meant that he was favored, and Lantian Hou Yuanshan had always had a good eye, so he took the gamble.

Otherwise, he wouldn't take the risk of hunting bears. One hundred taels of gold and ten big bears might not be enough, and he came back from ten deaths and nine lives. Get over a black bear.

In fact, it is true to cut a bear with a saber. Killing a black bear with courage is not a saber but a trap, but the real wound is the bear pressing on the side of the sledge. Therefore, people can only use people instead of plows to plow the land, which is more than wrong, let alone use plows to support heavy objects and walk on flat roads.

"Uncle Yan, do you think what I did was right or wrong?" Xue Li asked.

"I don't know, but Master Hou said that successful people don't ask whether they are right or wrong, success or failure will be told by later generations." Yan Bei said.

Xue Li was silent for a moment and said: "Thank you Uncle Yan for your guidance, I understand."

Xue Li's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. After listening to Yan Bei's words, he found that he still had a lot to learn, just like his teacher Yuan Shan said that growth needs to be learned.

Yan Bei was very calm, but he didn't know what Xue Li meant or what he understood.

When the two returned to Chang'an after the examination at the Lantian Medical Center, they would not have arrived in Chang'an at this time. The Ghost Hunting Cavalry, who was in the process of marching, heard that Yuan Shan had accepted a new student, and they all went together under the leadership of Yuchi Baolin. He rushed to the Hou Mansion.

Especially when I heard that young people can hunt the black bear Yuchi Baolin, I am even more interested. Now Yuchi Baolin is a rare opponent. dissatisfied.

Ghost hunters are all Yuan Shan's students. Although they already know it outside, they still remember Yuan Shan's words. No one will mention this in front of outsiders. Only when there is no one in private will they be called teachers. This is also the rule of Yuanshan's income.

They know that Yuan Shan's rules must be obeyed. It is simply too scheming for a young man to suddenly do something like this, and Yuan Shan must have taken him as his apprentice because he has the ability of a unicorn, so everyone as a teacher Brother wants to wave this junior brother.

The dispatch of the ghost hunters has shocked many people, but the composition of the ghost hunters is very special. The lowest rank of the thirty or so people is now the rank of captain, but they are not really generals who lead troops. To put it bluntly, they Belongs to the class of instructors.
