"Old Wang, where is Yue Fei now?" Zhang Shixun suddenly had an idea. If he could get Yue Fei here, he would have found a treasure.
"Hmm?" Wang Dong immediately understood what he meant and quickly looked up information in the database.
"There's not much information about Yue Fei's youth. I only found that in the fourth year of the Xuanhe reign, Hebei province recruited "brave warriors," and Yue Fei enlisted as a squad leader in the campaign against Liao. Not long after, his father died, and Yue Fei left the army to return home to observe mourning. He didn't rejoin the army until the first year of the Jingkang reign."
"So, he's still in his hometown, Tangyin?"
"It should be."
Zhang Shixun clapped his hands and said, "Looks like I have to go to Tangyin."
Wang Dong nodded and said, "It is very necessary to go there, but there is no need to rush. As long as we can find him before Qinzong comes to power, we will be fine."
"I must recruit him." Zhang Shixun rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth in the room.
"Before you recruit him, you should first build a solid foundation for yourself. Otherwise, why would he follow you?"
"That makes sense. Without further ado, I'll go to the martial arts arena to practice."
"Wait a moment." Wang Dong stopped him.
"What else?"
"Take your bow and stand behind the window."
Zhang Shixun was stunned, not understanding what he wanted to do.
"Don't just stand there, do as I say."
Zhang Shixun came to the window and raised the bow in his hand.
"Open the utility tool in the intelligent system, which contains military assistance."
Zhang Shixun found it as he said.
"There's a scope in the military assistance menu, click it."
Zhang Shixun clicked as he was told, and suddenly, a virtual sight appeared in front of him.
"Fuck! This works too." Zhang Shixun was almost crazy with joy. He raised his bow and aimed through the scope at a small boat on the Bian River. There was a man standing on the boat and peeing.
A voice prompts: To select a target to attack, please focus on the target for one second and the system will automatically adjust the magnification.
Damn! There's actually a system notification sound.
Zhang Shixun raised the bow in his hand and aimed at a person on the other side of the river farther away. Sure enough, the person who was originally unclear became magnified, and even his beard could be seen clearly.
"This is simply a super plug-in, it's awesome." Zhang Shixun exclaimed sincerely.
Wang Dong said calmly, "I've already given you the good stuff, so get out of here."
Zhang Shixun didn't waste any words and turned around and walked towards the stairs.
"Take your bow."
"Don't worry, I want to use a Song Dynasty bow so I can compare it."
Gao Yanei was waiting in the front yard a little anxiously. When he saw Zhang Shixun finally come out, he cursed in a low voice: "Thief!"
"Yanei, who are you scolding?"
"No one scolded me."
"I heard you swear."
"It's not an insult, it's my catchphrase!"
Two followers, Gao Wu and Gao Liu, were squatting at the door chatting.
"Hurry and bring the horses here, we are going to the Tianwu Army review ground." Gao Yanei gave orders loudly as he went out.
The two men mounted their horses, Gao Yanei in front and Zhang Shixun following behind, heading towards the Tianwu Army.
The Tianwu Army was near Caomen, very close to the city wall.
"Brother, this is the Tianwu Army." Gao Yanei pointed to the gate in front.
"Is this the Tianwu Army?" Zhang Shixun looked around the military camp. There were two soldiers standing guard at the door. They were wearing red military uniforms, which were loose and did not look like soldiers at all.
"Why is it so quiet in there? Where are the people?"
"Everyone went to work."
"What kind of work?"
"Carrying bags, transporting goods, building houses, as long as it can make money, I do it."
Zhang Shixun shook his head. If even the Tianwu Army, one of the top four armies, was like this, one could imagine what the other imperial guards were like.
The upper four armies are the emperor's personal troops, the elite among the elite.
"Brother, don't shake your head. The court can't support them for nothing. These soldiers are idle anyway. Going out to work will save money for the court and also allow them to earn more money to support their families."
"Hey! Commander, you are here." The soldier guarding the gate saluted respectfully.
Gao Yanei nodded proudly and took Zhang Shixun straight to a martial arts training ground.
The training ground was empty, with only a few soldiers practicing horse riding and a few practicing archery.
A sturdy officer ran over and asked sternly, "Who are you? This is the Tianwu Army's training ground. How can you be wandering around?"
"Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in my business?" Gao Yanei rode on his horse with his nose in the air, not even looking at him, looking very superior.
Gao Wu, who was following behind, hurried forward and introduced, "Yanei, this is Instructor Lin." He then said to Instructor Lin, "Instructor Lin, this is the son of the Palace Commander, Gao Chengzong, the Chief of the Right Wing First Army."
Master Lin?
Zhang Shixun's heart skipped a beat and he stared at Instructor Lin's head intently.
The surname is Lin, and he is also the instructor of the imperial guards. Could he be the legendary Leopard Head Lin Chong?
Just as I was about to ask his name, he introduced himself: "I am the instructor of the Imperial Guards, my surname is Lin and my name is Chao."
It’s true that his surname is Lin, but he is not Leopard Head Lin Chong.
Zhang Shixun couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if there are any other instructors with the surname Lin in the imperial guards of the capital?"
Lin Chao thought about it and shook his head: "It seems that there is no other person with the last name Lin."
Zhang Shixun was a little disappointed.
It would be great if there really was a Leopard Head Lin Chong. I could make friends with him.
"Water Margin" is just a novel. Its author Shi Nai'an was a Ming Dynasty person. It is impossible for him to know that there was such a small figure in the Song Dynasty imperial army. Therefore, it can be concluded that Lin Chong is a fictional character.
Gao Yanei recalled what Zhang Shixun had said a few days ago and said, "Brother, you wrongly accused me that day, saying that I had robbed the wife of Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000-man Imperial Guards. But there is no such person as Lin Chong in the Imperial Guards..."
"I've already told you, it has nothing to do with me. It was that Shi Naian who said that." Zhang Shixun hurriedly distanced himself from the matter.
"Tell me where Shi lives, and I'll settle accounts with that thief." Gao Yanei waved his hand angrily and said to Instructor Lin, "Lin Chao, since you already know I'm a military officer, why don't you get out of the way?"
Instructor Lin's expression remained unchanged. He held out his hand and said, "I don't care who you are... bring me the token!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yanei dismounted, put his hands on his hips and said, "Grandpa, do I need to bring that thing here? Even if I did, I wouldn't show it to you!"
Instructor Lin snorted coldly and said, "It's ok if you don't want to show it to me. Please get out!"
"How dare you!" Gao Yanei was furious. He picked up a whip from the saddle and rushed towards Instructor Lin angrily.
"Wait!" Zhang Shixun quickly stopped Gao Yanei, not wanting him to cause any more trouble. He snatched the whip from his hand and said, "Yanei, please talk nicely if you have something to say. Why are you hitting someone just because you disagree with me?"
"Brother, he is just a small coach and he dared to chase me away. This is outrageous... Don't stop me, I will beat this blind thief to death." Gao Yanei pushed Zhang Shixun hard.
