Chapter 47 Two Years (Please collect and read)

After returning from the Shan family’s New Year’s greetings.

One and a half months passed.

Wei Tu received the wedding invitation from Shan Yangong's concubine.

After Wei Tu saw that the address of the wedding invitation was a single house in Fucheng, he couldn't help but secretly sighed at Shan Min's clever methods. He also didn't know how he persuaded Shan Yanggong's wife to agree to let Shan Yangong take a concubine.

 During the few months he stayed in a single house last year, he knew that although Shan Yangong's wife seemed to have a weak temperament and was not as fierce as Shan Fang, she still had a strong character in her heart.

Otherwise, Shan Yanggong would not have delayed taking in a concubine until now.

“By coincidence, my eldest brother Kou Liang sent me a letter, inviting Wei Fei and I to go to Xuanhe Building for a gathering to rekindle our old friendship…”

Wei Tu glanced at the date of the wedding invitation and thought to himself.

Nearly a year has passed, and as Fu Zhizhou said in the government office, it is time for He Zhifu to be transferred.

In the past few days, this gossip has spread throughout the county government.

Wei Tu guessed that Kou Liang’s letter brought the four brothers together to discuss the matter.

Wei Tu found Wei Fei, and they made an appointment to go to Fucheng together.

…

A few days later.

Xuanhe Building, Room No. 3, Tianzi.

“Second brother, third brother.” After hearing the conversation between Wei Tu and Wei Fei outside the door, Kou Liang took the initiative to go out to greet them.

He smiled, patted Wei and Tu on the shoulders, and exchanged a few words.

“Big brother.”

Wei Tu and Wei Fei looked at each other, bowed slightly, and saluted Kou Liang with cupped fists.

More than a year has passed, and Kou Liang has not changed much. He is dressed in white clothes, tall and broad, and has a heroic appearance.

However, Wei Tu and Wei Fei noticed a hint of twilight and a sense of frustration in Kou Liang's brows and eyes.

The two of them immediately understood that Kou Liang, like them, had also been suppressed by the local officials in Xiaoyi Mansion.

Compared to the two of them hugging each other for warmth and helping each other, Kou Liang is undoubtedly much more lonely.

"Where's the fourth brother?" Wei Fei walked into the box, glanced around, and frowned when he saw that there was no sign of Fu Zhizhou.

Along the way.

He and Wei Tu worked almost non-stop and arrived at Xuanhe Building ahead of the agreed time.

Since Fu Zhizhou was the fourth sworn brother, there was no reason to keep the three sworn brothers waiting while he was late.

"The fourth brother has been appreciated by the governor of the king and is now a guard beside him. He has no time to spare during normal times. You and I will wait a little longer."

Kou Liang sat on the stool, shook his head and explained.

“Second brother, drink some wine first to quench your thirst.”

Wei Tu also sat on the stool. He winked and signaled Wei Fei not to be anxious yet and to wait patiently.

He knew the reason for Wei Fei's impatience.

Since receiving the first letter from Fu Zhizhou, the two of them have not received the second letter from Fu Zhizhou for more than half a year.

Fu Zhizhou... seems to have forgotten the alliance he made that day, and these two sworn brothers.

The three of them waited patiently.

The waiter at Xuanhe Building served one jug after another of wine.

Until evening—

The soft sound of scales clashing was heard outside the door.

After hearing the sound, the three people in the box raised their eyes to the door and finally saw Fu Zhizhou, who had been waiting for a long time.

Fu Zhizhou is wearing bright silver armor and a red tassel on his head. He looks majestic and has the demeanor of a general.

Comparing the three Wei Tu people in the box, the difference is clear at a glance.

The former is proud and the latter is frustrated.

“Eldest brother, second brother, third brother…”

Fu Zhizhou took off his armor, revealing his dark black trousers. He cupped his fists and bowed to Wei Tu and the others, his attitude was respectful and without any hint of arrogance.

Seeing this, Wei Tu and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to accept the fourth brother who "flew first" again.

The four of them greeted each other.

At this time, Kou Liang ordered the waiters at Xuanhelou who had been waiting for a long time to serve the food and warm the wine.

"Thank you, the three sworn brothers have been waiting for a long time. The younger brother has been at the governor's house recently because he received a mission..."

“In order to keep it secret, I dare not send anyone to deliver the message, so if I have neglected my three sworn brothers, please forgive me.”

Fu Zhizhou seemed to have noticed what Wei Tu and the others were thinking, and took the initiative to tell him the reason why he had been neglecting the three of them for more than half a year.

"Emissary?" When Kou Liang heard these two words, his heart moved, and he looked at Fu Zhizhou with a searching look.

If Fu Zhizhou was just a military attache of the governor's mansion, he would not have "cut off contact" with the three of them.

"Since the eldest brother is asking, I, the fourth brother, will speak out."

“I just hope that after the three sworn brothers know about it, they won’t spread the word.”

Fu Zhizhou thought for a while and gritted his teeth.

—He understood that if he didn’t make it clear today, the four of them would definitely part ways after this banquet.

As far as brotherhood is concerned, Fu Zhizhou feels that he and Wei Tu have not yet shared life and death with the three of them, but now that they have made an alliance and made a blood alliance together, they have become brothers...

Then we should live and die together!

Emotions... can be cultivated slowly in the future.

“If the fourth brother has something to hide, you can choose to hide it, and you don’t have to be harsh on yourself..."

Seeing this, Wei Tu quickly stopped him. He knew that sometimes knowing too much was not a good thing.

He doesn't want to suffer an unreasonable disaster and lead to death.

“That’s what the third brother said.”

“Fourth brother, if you have something you can’t tell, you don’t have to tell us.”

Hearing this, Kou Liang and Wei Fei immediately understood the meaning of Wei Tu's words and nodded repeatedly.

If the secret is leaked and the innate martial arts master uses spiritual secrets to deal with the consequences, Fu Zhizhou will not be the only one to be punished.

They will also follow the clues, and it involves the three of them.

Hearing this, Fu Zhizhou shook his head and explained: "This matter is closely related to the future of the three sworn brothers. If you don't know this information, you will inevitably be at a loss when it gets involved in the future."

"Furthermore, with my current status, as long as the three sworn brothers keep it secret and don't talk nonsense, the government will not easily trace my case."

The voice fell.

The three people, Wei and Tu, looked at each other in confusion, but finally agreed that Fu Zhizhou would reveal the "secrets" they knew.

“Last year, the four of us fought against Magistrate He because of the Wuyun Building incident, so we formed a righteous society and made a blood alliance, agreeing to support each other in the future, and to advance and retreat together.”

“The secret thing I want to say is also related to Wuyun Tower.”

“Governor Wang agreed that Magistrate He sent Wu Xiucai to Wuyun Tower as an undercover agent last year. This was just an overt move. It was a real secret move. Governor Wang had already planned it..."

“Just wait for the day when Wuyunlou commits a crime and closes the net…”

“At that time, Shannan Dao will mobilize local troops to attack Wuyun Tower together, and the three brothers are highly skilled in martial arts and are naturally within the scope of recruitment.”

“The governor Wang’s imperial guards are the elite force attacking Wuyun Tower this time.”

“At this time, it will be as early as March or April, or as late as one or two years later.”

Fu Zhizhou said slowly.

“Attack Wuyun Tower?”

This information fell into the ears of Wei Tu and the three of them, and they were no strangers.

As early as last year, they expected that the government would definitely take action against Wuyun Tower, which was a sinking ship.

But they did not expect that when the governor Wang attacked Wuyun Tower, he would also bring in local troops.

Wei Tu and others know best what the local Xiang army looks like. They are almost all traders and lackeys. If they encounter a strong enemy, they will be defeated at the first touch.

The local Xiang army was mobilized, and they, the military attachés of the Xiang army, would certainly not be able to escape.

"This is an opportunity for us to perform meritorious service. If we return to the county seat and train our soldiers diligently, we might be able to get a chance to be promoted to a higher rank."

Kou Liang and Wei Fei are full of fighting spirit and very optimistic.

In comparison.

Wei Tu was a little worried.

Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to get involved in the battlefield lightly. After all, swords and guns are short-sighted, and it would be bad to die on the battlefield.

"Three sworn brothers, after knowing the news, they went back to train soldiers and buy fine armor. When the war begins, they will be able to make achievements."

Fu Zhizhou smiled.

Providing this information means that he has kept his promise last year and will support Wei Tu and the others whenever he finds an opportunity.

“Thank you so much, fourth brother.”

Wei Tu sighed secretly, calmed down his good mood, and thanked Fu Zhizhou together with Kou Liang and Wei Fei.

He is the "Capital Military Envoy". Although he has a few soldiers under his command, they are not an army, so training soldiers has nothing to do with him.

This achievement has little to do with him.

"But knowing this information in advance is a good thing for me. I can prepare fine armor in advance and save my life at critical moments on the battlefield..."

Wei Tu thought secretly.

Half an hour later.

Fu Zhizhou put on his bright silver armor, apologized, walked out of the box door, left Xuanhe Building, and returned to the governor's mansion for duty.

Subsequently.

The three of them also left the scene one by one.

…

Return to the single house in Fucheng.

Wei Tu stayed for two or three days. After the wedding banquet for Shan Yangong to take his concubine was completed, he and Wei Fei returned to Qingshan County.

After returning to the county town.

This time, Wei Tu was no longer limited to borrowing money and favors. For a set of fine armor, he approached Wei Fei and borrowed fifty taels of silver from him.

Then Wei Tu visited the Huang family again, wrote an IOU, and borrowed thirty taels of silver from his second aunt Wei Xin.

A total of eighty taels of silver.

Wei Tu sent the money to the Xiang army's arsenal and asked the blacksmith to make him a sophisticated and well-defended armor.

Time passes slowly.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the twenty-sixth year of Qing'an.

This year.

It was Wei Tu's fifth year of practicing "Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong".

In the small courtyard, after Wei Tu finished practicing the health-preserving exercises for the twelfth time, he suddenly felt a trace of free breath in his meridians.

These free breaths are completely different from the warm current that surged out of the body when practicing Zhuang Kung Fu in the past.

He seems to be able to control these free breaths to leave his meridians and outside his body with his thoughts.

Seeing this, Wei Tu still doesn’t understand.

He finally used the health-preserving skill to practice his first inner energy from the outside to the inside.

Thinking of this, Wei Tu immediately immersed himself in his destiny of "late bloomer" to observe the changes in the handwriting on this golden and purple destiny.

“Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong (100/100): Practice nine times a day, and it will be completed in five years.”

“It’s done!”

“This time, not only did I enter the Qi-sensing realm five years ago, but I also succeeded in improving my strength a lot before the government attacked Wuyun Tower…”

Wei Tu’s face was filled with joy.

He clearly remembered that he practiced health-preserving skills in the late autumn of the twenty-first year of Qing'an, and it was the summer of the twenty-sixth year of Qing'an when he entered the realm of Qi.

The time gap between this was several months. Although it was not long, it was enough to prove that his efforts were effective.

The progress in the life chart of "Late Bloomer" can be completed in advance and does not necessarily have to wait until after the fixed number of years indicated.
