Chapter Eight, Convenient Godfather.
Do you feel at ease letting Anfu go work for him? Yang Lin admires Wu Anfu's abilities at such a young age, and feels that such a talented person working for Luo Yi would be a great loss. Thinking of this, he immediately pointed it out.
Do you know how deeply Luo Yi hates you brothers?
Anfu is already a subordinate of the King of Beiping, this matter is probably not easy. Wu Liang took advantage of the situation and his plan has only succeeded halfway. At this moment, he set up an ambush, just waiting for Yang Lin to fall into the trap.
Wu Kui and Wu Liang's eyes met, both with joyful expressions. They knew that Yang Lin had dedicated his life to military campaigns and had never married or had children. He found solace in adopting righteous sons and daughters. If he could adopt Wu Anfu as his righteous son, Wu Anfu's future would be bright. Thinking of this, Wu Kui gave Wu Liang a signal, and Wu Liang understood: "Your Highness, you overpraise. Anfu is still young and lacks experience. Even if his marksmanship is excellent, he is only capable of fighting against ten or a hundred enemies. Currently, he serves as a flag officer under the command of the King of Beiping. He is learning military strategy from the King of Beiping and accumulating experience, hoping to become a formidable opponent in the future. Only then can he claim to have some knowledge and ability." Upon hearing this, Yang Lin became somewhat annoyed: "What knowledge does that old man Luo Yi have?" When he marched into the sixteen provinces of Yanyun, he suffered many losses at the hands of Luo Yi. Later, for the sake of the overall situation, they made peace, but it was well known that they did not see eye to eye. Wu Liang's provocation indeed made Yang Lin very unhappy.
Xiaoren Wu Anfu pays respects to the King Qiansui. Wu Anfu throws down his spear and bows his head in worship. In his previous life, when he listened to storytelling, he respected this old lord who lived in troubled times and worked to support the world with his own strength. Although he may have been foolishly loyal, he was still admirable and respected.
Early the next morning, the eight Taibao who were stationed sixty miles outside the city arrived at the gates of Beiping with three thousand soldiers. It had already been reported to Luo Yi's patron, Wang Yanglin, who was patrolling the area. Luo Yi, along with Luo Cheng, Wu Anfu, Zhang Gongjin, Bai Xiandao, Shang Qingshan, Xia Yushan, Wei Chinan, Wei Chibei, Tang Wanren, Tang Wanyi, Dengshiren, and Deng Shijie, twelve great generals, went out to meet them. The night before, Yang Lin had returned to the army from Beiping Prefecture, dressed in a suit of golden chain armor, looking imposing. When he saw Luo Yi, he laughed heartily and said, "Beiping King, it's been many years, are you well?" Luo Yi rode up and said loudly, "Thanks to your patronage, King Yang, I'm still alive and well. You've had a hard journey, please come into the city. I've already cleaned up the mansion for you to rest." "That won't be necessary. I'm staying at my godson's house this time," said Yang Lin.
Yang Lin smiled and said, "Good child, get up quickly, get up quickly." When Wu Anfu got up, Yang Lin said, "From now on, you are my ninth guardian, Yang Lin. You have eight older brothers above you. They are the first guardian, Luo Fang, the second guardian, Xue Liang, the third guardian, Li Wan, the fourth guardian, Li Xiang, the fifth guardian, Gao Ming, the sixth guardian, Gao Liang, the seventh guardian, Su Cheng, and the eighth guardian, Su Feng. They are all stationed outside the city now. I will take you to meet them tomorrow." After speaking to Wu Anfu, Yang Lin turned to Wu Kui and Wu Liang and said, "Now Anfu has become my godson. Will Luo Yi still refuse?" "Naturally, he dare not refuse," Wu Kui and Wu Liang answered respectfully, restraining their satisfaction.
After receiving the treasure from https://www.hetushu.com.com, the old man was delighted and quickly ordered people to prepare food and drinks. Yang Lin was in high spirits and instructed Wu Kui and Wu Liang. Seeing the servants preparing the food and drinks, Yang Lin said to Wu Anfu, "I should have given you a gift when we first met. However, I entered the city in disguise this time and didn't have time to prepare. But I can't let you leave empty-handed. I will now teach you a set of gun techniques. Remember it well." After saying that, Yang Lin tied his robe, took up his Nine Dragons Furnace Gun, and assumed a horse stance. With a breath, he performed the "Dragon Swinging Tail" and skillfully wielded the gun. Wu Anfu watched carefully and felt that Yang Lin's gun techniques were powerful and domineering, much like the demeanor of a king. However, amidst the fierceness, Wu Anfu felt that the attack was too aggressive, leading to more vulnerabilities. He was puzzled but dared not speak. After completing the set of gun techniques, Yang Lin didn't even breathe heavily, not resembling a man approaching sixty at all.
Yang Lin proudly said, "This set of Broken Army Gun Technique is meant to be used immediately. But now, without a horse, its power is reduced by half." Wu Anfu recalled the gun technique just now and indeed felt that if he were charging on a horse, the shortcomings he had just noticed would no longer be shortcomings. The most important thing in horse warfare is momentum and speed, and Yang Lin's Broken Army Gun Technique is indeed suitable. Riding on a tall and powerful horse, the flaws no longer exist. From this perspective, this gun technique is indeed exquisite. In horse warfare, the most important thing is momentum and speed, and Yang Lin's Broken Army Gun Technique is indeed suitable.

Very well, Father's marksmanship is fierce and domineering, truly the spear of a king.
At this point, the food and drinks were already prepared. The four of them enjoyed their drinks and chatted intimately, as if they were a family.
This is natural. "The two said, and it is feared that even the three-year-old children playing on the main street of Beiping Prefecture would know that the Wang Mansion and the Grand Marshal's Mansion are archenemies."
Doesn't he give me, Yang Lin, any face? Yang Lin blew his mustache and stared, this time he came to Beijing for an inspection, which was a routine matter. Unexpectedly, he encountered Wu Anfu, a piece of uncut jade. He has always liked young talents, and Wu Anfu is the descendant of his beloved subordinate. He couldn't express his joy in his heart. Hearing that Wu Anfu was working for Luo Yi, his opponent, he was already holding back his anger. At this time, hearing what Wu Liang said, his arrogance came up, and he made up his mind to bring Wu Anfu over.
"Godson?" Luo Yi looked suspiciously at the Eight Guardians behind Yang Lin, thinking that she had never heard that any of them were from Beiping Prefecture.
Fear that the child has caused trouble for the prince. Wu Kui saw Yang Lin's appearance, knowing that the situation was halfway resolved.
"Actually, we don't want to either," Wu Kui said, and then he mentioned the matter of inviting Luo Yi to take Wu Anfu to the Beiping Prefecture Yamen as an official. Yang Lin pondered for a moment and said, "If Luo Yi can force Anfu to go, then I can force Anfu to come back." Wu Kui's clever plan was halfway successful, and he felt secretly pleased, thinking that when the old lord was in battle, there were countless strategies. However, in dealing with people, he was generous and fair. This little trick might be useless against cunning and sly people like Yang Su, but it was effective against the unguarded Yang Lin.

Your child thanks the king for his teachings. Wuanfu understood this and became happy, silently remembering the techniques.
"Look, isn't it right there?" Yang Lin pointed with his horse whip. Wu Anfu rode his horse out of the formation, dismounted and bowed, saying, "Your son Wu Anfu pays respects to the king." Luo Yi and Tushu were surprised, wondering when Wu Anfu had become Yang Lin's godson. When they saw the mysterious smile on Yang Lin's face, they suddenly realized that this must be a plan of Wu Kui and Wu Liang. They knew they had been outsmarted and could only say, "So Wu Anfu is the godson of King Shaoshan. I didn't know about it. You kept it well hidden from us." Wu Anfu looked at Luo Yi's disappointed face and felt happy in his heart, thinking, "Old fox, now you know how powerful I am."
Beiping Wang is skilled in spear and horse riding, and his military strategy surpasses others. He is naturally more powerful than us brothers, but compared to you, my lord, he still falls short," said Wu Liang. Yang Lin felt slightly relieved after hearing this and said with a smile, "If we talk about martial arts, we are evenly matched, but when it comes to military strategy and tactics, he is not as good as me." Wu Kui and Wu Liang naturally agreed and began to talk about the siege of Beiping Prefecture with great enthusiasm, making Yang Lin very happy. After a while, Yang Lin suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no." "What's wrong?" Wu Kui and Wu Liang asked in unison.
Get up quickly. Yang Lin laughed and helped Wu Anfu up, saying, "Come, come and sit." After sitting down, Yang Lin said, "Wu Kuiwu Liang, your child is impressive." Wu Kuiwu Liang was delighted by Yang Lin's praise. At that moment, the four of them enjoyed their drinks and chatted. Although Yang Lin had a noble and prestigious status, he was easygoing and approachable. Wu Kuiwu Liang knew his temperament and spoke without restraint, while Wu Anfu remained somewhat reserved. As they continued to drink and chat, Yang Lin noticed Wu Anfu's silence and asked, "Anfu, the name of your gun is quite interesting. How did you come up with it?" Wu Anfu then repeated the words he had deceived Wu Kuiwu Liang with. Yang Lin nodded and said, "You have such insight, very good." His tone revealed a sense of fondness.
