Chapter 31 Transforming the Emperor
In this way, Zhao Lihe studied literature and martial arts with the more than thirty orphans of the Qi family army, and relying on his adult mind and the stories he had heard in his previous life, he naturally became the leader of this group of children.
During this period, Zhao Lihe also met his senior brother who was 13 years older than him, Lu Wenzhao in the movie.
Like the descendants of the Qi family army outside the village, Lu Wenzhao also chose to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Because of this, the elders in the village never gave him a good look.
But Lu Wenzhao didn't care about this. He was extremely friendly to the people in the village and respected his elders. Even if the elders in the village pointed at his nose and called him a traitor, Lu Wenzhao would just smile and spit in his face. .
As for the junior brothers and sisters like Zhao Lihe, let alone that.
All the toys for the group of children headed by Ding Baiying from childhood to adulthood were given to them by Lu Wenzhao.
The same is true for Zhao Lihe, but after all, he has the mind of an adult and has no interest in children's toys. Instead, he pesters Lu Wenzhao to tell stories about the outside every time he comes back.
Lu Wenzhao also liked this junior brother very much and treated him patiently every time.
Days like this continued year after year.
It was not until the thirty-ninth year of Wanli, when Zhao Lihe was eleven years old, that Ding Zhongwei died due to the recurrence of his old illness.
Facing the passing of their master, all the children seemed a little at a loss while feeling sad.
It was Zhao Lihe who stood up and took Ding Baiying and more than 30 disciples to bury his master and put him in mourning.
By the time Lu Wenzhao heard the news and came over, Ding Zhongwei had been buried for more than three months.
Kneeling in front of his master's grave, Lu Wenzhao cried bitterly, with Zhao Lihe and Ding Baiying accompanying him.
Seeing her senior brother crying sadly, Ding Baiying couldn't help but feel sad. She turned around and leaned into Zhao Lihe's arms and started crying.
"……Um?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Lihe with a strange expression.
If he heard correctly, Ding Baiying is only one year younger than Zhao Lihe.
So when he was eleven years old, Ding Baiying was only ten years old.
Ten years old, can't you help but take action at the age of ten?
Looking at Zhao Lihe, who was still immersed in memories and chattering away, Lin Zhongtian hesitated to speak, but hesitated to speak.
But in the end, he still didn't have the nerve to ask.
After all, we just talked about the sad thing about the death of a close relative. It is really disrespectful to ask such a question at this time.
There was no way, Lin Zhongtian could only keep the problem in his heart for the time being and continue to listen to Zhao Lihe's story.
"After Master passed away, Senior Brother often returned to the village to teach us martial arts, but after all, he had responsibilities and could not stay there permanently. Because Bai Ying and I were relatively talented in martial arts, we learned most of Master's martial arts early, so we took the initiative to stand on our side. He came out and took on the responsibility of teaching skills on behalf of his teachers.”
"When I turned sixteen, I simply didn't have to talk about teaching on behalf of my teacher, and let the young children in the village directly worship me and Bai Ying as their teachers. It was at that time that Ding Tai and Ding Chong worshiped Bai Ying as their teachers. "
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but ask: "What about Ding Xiu and Ding Xian?"
Zhao Lihe explained: "The situation of the two of them is quite special. They were brought here from outside the village by my senior brother when he returned to the village. They were said to be descendants of the Qi family army who were living outside the village. I was a little curious at the time and asked for a long time before my senior brother told me that they were How did you find these two people?"
Lin Zhongtian asked curiously: "How did you find it?"
Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "Senior brother told me that he was running errands in the city at that time, and his wallet was stolen by these two little guys at the door of the inn. Senior brother was a little annoyed, so he taught them a lesson, and was surprised to find that these two This guy actually knows martial arts, and he happens to be in the Qi Family Army's way."
"Senior brother asked quickly and found out that they were also descendants of Qi Jiajun, so senior brother took them back to the village and changed their surnames. At that time, because of me, there were too many people who became master's disciples. I He and Bai Ying are really difficult to teach, so the two of them are regarded as senior brother's apprentices."
Lin Zhongtian said with great interest: "So, you should be their uncle. Why do they call you Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Lihe smiled bitterly and explained: "After all, these two people have been wandering outside for a long time and have been thieves for several years. They have unruly tempers. Seeing that Bai Ying and I are about the same age as them, they are a little unconvinced and are unwilling to call me master." Uncle, Ding Xiu even clamored to compete with me at that time, saying that as long as I could defeat him, he changed his name to call me uncle."
Lin Zhongtian was playful: "What's the result?"
Zhao Lihe spread his hands: "As a result...he still calls me Brother Zhao."
Lin Zhongtian couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Lihe seemed to recall interesting things from his childhood and started laughing.
After laughing for a while, Lin Zhongtian asked with a smile on his face: "What's going on with Ding Xian?"
Zhao Lihe said helplessly: "That guy was a consumptive ghost when he was a child. How can I have the nerve to argue with him? Ding Xiu always likes to bully him, but he is the only one who can bully him. If others dare to do this, I'm afraid they will be He beat him half to death.”
"Later, our relationship gradually got better, so I told them the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When I talked about Liu Guan and Zhang, the two brothers seemed to be quite fascinated. Since then, Ding Xiu has never bullied Ding Xian. "
Having said this, Zhao Lihe unconsciously showed a smile on his face.
"What happens after that?"
"After that..."
The smile on Zhao Lihe's face faded, and he looked a little sad.
"The war broke out between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty. Senior brother was already a garrison under General Du Songdu. He followed the West Route Army to attack Jilin Cliff. It snowed heavily and the entire West Route Army was wiped out. Although senior brother was lucky enough to survive, he also suffered because of this. His temperament changed drastically, and it took three years before he returned to the village again."
Lin Zhongtian frowned: "These are the original plot, right? As a time traveler, why didn't you remind Senior Brother You?"
Zhao Lihe smiled bitterly and said: "I reminded you, but what's the use? Senior brother, he is just a small guard. How many people can listen to what he says?"
"how about you?"
"I was only nineteen years old at the time. I was incompetent in literature and martial arts, so what could I do?"
"So you traveled through nineteen years without having any impact on the history of this world?"
"...Although it's a little hurtful to say this, it's true, but at least I influenced the people around me."
"Those kids?"
"Yes, they are my first team members, and they are also the foundation for me to form the alliance."
Zhao Lihe raised his head, looked at the clouds on the horizon and said softly: "Three years have passed since the Sarhu War, and senior brother returned to the village again. The difference from three years ago is that this time senior brother's identity is Beizhen The royal guards of Fusi, and the officials reaching hundreds of households, everything seems to have returned to the original plot, as if I had never traveled through time."
"That year, I was just twenty-two years old, and the children around me had grown up. With their unconditional trust, as well as the contributions I had made to the village over the years, and the prestige I had accumulated, the people in the village Basically, it has been tacitly accepted that I am the leader and I alone have the final say on all matters big and small.”
"Senior brother came back this time just because he wanted me to send someone to help him. He said that he has now met a wise master worthy of following. Although this wise master is not old, he has great ambitions. He vowed to bring down Wei Zhongxian and wipe out the The eunuchs will bring a bright future to the world."
"Of course I knew who the Ming Zhu he was talking about was, so I thought about rejecting him. But before I spoke, I suddenly thought that at this time, King Xin Zhu Youjian seemed to be only eleven years old. His three views were undecided and he was still young. Small."
"If I choose to help senior brother, can I take this opportunity to come to Zhu Youjian's side, use my way to influence him, and transform him into a wise king who has a forward-looking vision and can clear up chaos..."
Lin Zhongtian's lips curled up: "So you accepted King Xin's solicitation?"
Zhao Lihe sighed and said with a wry smile: "Perhaps teaching too many children gave me a lot of confidence. At that time, I really thought this method was feasible."
