Chapter 1, Cai Yong

Sir

My father, named Hong, was well-versed in the ways of commerce and trade, having built up this vast estate, which is also the reason I am able to study martial arts and literature in peace

Upon seeing Wei Tao return, Zhang De was not surprised either

It was only after much pleading that Master Zhang was finally granted permission

Upon hearing it was his father's command, Wei Tao did not dare to be negligent. While washing and dressing, he quietly pondered in his heart.

I, an old man of mediocre knowledge, have, after more than a year of guidance, found that I have little left to teach you, young master. Therefore, I formally submitted my resignation a few days ago.

Thus, Wei Tao naturally did not dare to take a break, and stayed by his father's side, waiting for the guests to arrive

The middle-aged man expressed his admiration, yet a hint of pride appeared on his face, for Wei Tao's abilities were indeed cultivated under his guidance

Early the next morning, four young girls began to knock on the door urgently

Esteemed Young Master, your proficiency with this firearm has already reached a commendable level. Aside from practical experience, there is little more I can impart to you. You have only been learning for a little over a year, yet you have already matched my own skills.

Thus, Wei Tao did not inquire further. After bidding farewell to the Master, he returned to the training ground

To be honest, Wei Tao also did not know why he woke up one day in a different body

Cai Bojie

The middle-aged man merely smiled faintly, having taught Wei Tao for many years. He was already aware of Wei Tao's straightforward nature.

Bang bang

The result, however, has led them to develop such a habit, and it is uncertain whether this is good or bad

Upon hearing his father's voice, Wei Tao was immediately taken aback

As for finding peers of the same age, it is not just a matter of whether Wei Tao can find them; even the desire to leave home is unattainable.

I handle this gun flower quite well, but I fear it may mostly be for show.

So these four girls are essentially Wei Tao's concubines

Unfortunately, compared to Wei Tao's marksmanship, this archery is quite lacking, barely managing to stay on target.

Indeed, upon hearing Wei Hong's call, the carriage came to an immediate stop, and then a clear-featured man stepped out from within, alighting from the vehicle and bowing respectfully.

In fact, the four young ladies initially adhered to etiquette. However, Wei Tao considered that these four young ladies would eventually become his intimate companions, so he treated them much better in daily life.

Wei Tao temporarily set aside his martial arts, and after bringing the four young girls back into the house, he changed into a different outfit before proceeding to the study

Hmph

Such practice of martial arts and reading constitutes the daily routine that Wei Tao is capable of achieving

Young master, the master has given instructions. You are to get up quickly, as there will be distinguished guests arriving shortly

However, it is unfortunate that my father, Wei Hong, is very strict with me, making it truly difficult to accomplish certain things

One can withdraw from the ranks; while it may not be possible to achieve the division of the Three Kingdoms, aligning oneself with one side and gradually rising through the ranks can equally lead to the desired goal

If it has to change, then let it change; even if it means traveling through time, being able to go from over thirty years old back to nine years old is still a gain of more than twenty years of life.

The tip of the spear suddenly shook, transforming into three blossoms of the spear. Before the blossoms could fully manifest, it was abruptly retracted, and a thrust was executed.

Listening to the words of Master Chen, the visitor's reputation is quite significant, and it is not easy to seek to become his disciple. Could it be that he is a historical figure of renown?

You will know tomorrow

Wei Hong smiled, and then called Wei Tao to his side, speaking to Cai Yong.

Esteemed guest

Wei Tao and the book illustrated this helplessness as well. In order to gain his father's consent to practice martial arts, he assured his father that he would review poetry and literature every day.

This scholar possesses considerable knowledge, but unfortunately, it is not the kind of military strategy or tactics; rather, it pertains to the Four Books and Five Classics. To be honest, Wei Tao is indeed not very interested in this.

In the era of the Three Kingdoms, as various heroes vied for supremacy, countless champions emerged. However, Wei Tao was more aware that the number of those who perished during this time was even greater

Cai Yong was renowned for his reputation; how could he have come to know the father of a merchant?

However, Wei Tao currently lacks that capability

Hearing this, Wei Tao also felt helpless

A round of applause erupted, and the two beautiful maidens beside were mesmerized, exclaiming in excitement

Since I am unable to gather any followers at present, I must focus on honing my skills. At the very least, I should possess the strength of a third-rate general by the time the Yellow Turban Rebellion arrives. In this way, even if I cannot assemble a significant force, I can still seek refuge with a faction.

Wei Tao was momentarily taken aback, recalling that at this time, Cai Yong should be in exile, yet he did not understand why he would be passing through Chen Liu

Father, do you not know who the guest is

Xiao Tianyun was well aware that this Master Chen had once been recognized for his filial piety and integrity, and he often took pride in this during ordinary times; however, he found it difficult to win over talented individuals.

This master of marksmanship named Zhang De was found with great difficulty by my father from the army. Although he held the rank of a sergeant, he was not even considered a third-rate general.

However, the heavens have truly not been kind, as they have unexpectedly brought me to this era

I understand, I will come over

Thinking of this, Wei Tao felt quite envious of those so-called time travelers. Not to mention that they could just enter a new world with a simple bow, at least they had some freedom of action, unlike himself, who needed his parents' consent even to go in and out of the library.

Well, practicing like this does not yield much progress either

Wei Tao shook his head with a bitter smile, naturally not mentioning that in five years, specifically in the seventh year, which would be the first year of the Zhongping era, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would erupt, marking the beginning of great chaos in the world

I have met Master Chen

Although Wei Tao initially began practicing marksmanship and archery under the pretext of exercising during his leisure time for studying, he also understood that over the past year, he had invested even more effort into this pursuit

Call ... ...

Do not even mention recruiting any renowned and formidable subordinates; it is clear that no famous general would subdue a teenager of merely over ten years old

Wei Tao could only smile wryly and shake his head upon hearing this.

Having crossed over, I am merely a nine-year-old child; even by the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I would only be just fifteen. What preparations can I possibly make?

Just as Wei Tao was deep in thought, two young girls entered the training ground and spoke to him

Is this person Cai Boshi? Hong has been waiting here for a long time

Indeed, one's own father is skilled in business, but how could he possibly recognize this celebrity

Fortunately, this gentleman's knowledge is quite commendable. Moreover, Wei Tao has come from another time, and not to mention, he possesses a certain degree of memory reading ability. Interacting with him has been relatively pleasant.

I was originally concerned about your academic success, but the gentleman your father has invited is someone I greatly admire. If you are able to study under him, it would indeed be a fortunate event for your entire life

These four young girls are actually of a similar age to myself, yet they are companions provided by my mother. The families of the four girls are all born into the Wei family.

After waiting for more than half an hour, I finally saw two horse-drawn carriages slowly approaching, accompanied by a man on horseback leading a group of people. The man, dressed as a scholar, had a face that could be considered handsome, yet he exuded a certain vigorous aura. The sword at his waist further added to the impression of a commanding presence.

Haha ... ... This is someone who is not easily seen by everyone, so you must perform well for your father

Chunmei, Xiahe, Qiugu, and Dongmei are the names of the four girls. Although these names are quite ordinary, it must be said that they are very memorable

The young master is only ten years old now, and it is already remarkable to possess such strength; in the future, it is certainly possible to make further progress

This child is my son, named Tao. I wonder what Uncle Jie thinks of this

Do you still wish to practice archery, my lord? Unfortunately, I only know a few basic points about this skill and am truly unable to provide guidance

Unfortunately, Master Chen clearly did not wish to say much, slightly shaking his head and leaving Wei Tao's confusion unresolved

The sound of clapping... ...

Upon stepping outside, I discovered that my father had been waiting outside for quite some time

Haha... Since Bojie has passed through Chenliu, if my Wei family does not provide proper hospitality, it may become a source of laughter for the world. I kindly ask Bojie not to decline.

Upon seeing the visitor, Wei Hong immediately felt a surge of joy. Without waiting for the other party's carriage to come to a stop, he took several steps forward and called out loudly towards the carriage.

Master Zhang, how is my shot?

This shot was directly aimed at the heart of the wooden figure

Wei Tao was momentarily taken aback. This scholar was knowledgeable and of good character. Although he himself was not fond of the Four Books and Five Classics, he could not help but feel a twinge of regret upon hearing the other party's resignation

However, it is evident that Cai Yong is unlikely to be someone who can be a teacher for himself

Indeed, this is Wei Tao's skill in self-preservation after much contemplation.

Gently stroking his beard, Master Chen simply smiled and said www.hetushu.com.com

Young master, if you do not hurry, it is possible that the master will scold you again. At that time, we will all face punishment!

After reviewing poetry and literature for an hour, Master Chen first came to a halt

Indeed! Young master, if it goes on for too long, the teacher will start to nag.

It is now the year 2 of Guanghe.

Wei Tao had considered doing something before the great chaos, but he found that he was unable to do anything at all

Wei Tao was momentarily taken aback, and then he recalled the words of Master Chen. Could it be that this person would be his future teacher

Master Zhang, you flatter me. The moon staff, the yearly saber, and a lifetime of guns; I have merely just begun my journey. Not to mention comparing myself to others, even if I were to truly engage with Master Zhang, I would surely fall short.

Cai Yong, as a person under sentence of exile, has already caused an inconvenience to Brother Wei; how could I dare to trouble Brother Wei to come and greet me from afar

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, what is so urgent?

This is not a peaceful era

Hmph

Upon seeing the two young girls, the two girls who were originally cheering for Wei Tao also began to shout.

Fortunately, although Zhang De is not a historical figure of note, nor is he a renowned general, he does possess genuine abilities and has attained the position of Bozhang through his true skills

Wei Tao let out a long sigh, ignoring the two young girls, and instead turned his gaze to a middle-aged man nearby

Upon hearing Wei Tao's remark, those nearby found it somewhat strange; what was so unusual about the year 2 of Guanghe?

Hearing this, Wei Tao also felt somewhat helpless

Wei Tao opened the door and saw four young girls waiting outside with clothes in hand

Young master, it is time to study

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, but he also knew that Master Zhang could no longer teach him much.
