Li Yuan had heard Dugu Shun briefly mention this matter before, so he was not willing to let his son take the risk, so he gritted his teeth and said, "But everyone in the world knows that Li Mi is dead, so how can Jiancheng pretend to be him?"

"It's okay. Li Mi's head has been secretly replaced by us. Anyone with discerning eyes will recognize that the head hanging on the city is not Li Mi himself. Everyone will believe that Li Mi is not dead, and we also have a handwritten letter from Zhai Rang."

Dou Qingyangyangyang the silk in his hand, "I believe Zhai Rang will admit that Jiancheng is Li Mi."

Dugu Shun next to him also advised Li Yuan: "Actually, Zhai Rang just wants to cooperate with our Guanlong nobles. It doesn't matter whether Li Mi is. We just want to protect you and prevent Yang Guang from knowing that Jiancheng has gone to Wagang, so Jiancheng pretended to be Li Mi. I think even if Zhai Rang knew it, he would cooperate with us to keep this secret."

Li Yuan knew that he could no longer object, but he didn't know the cause and effect of this matter. How could he let his son go to Wagang Village with confidence? He pondered for a while and asked again: "How sincere is the Wagang Army?"

Dou Qing smiled at him and said, "Zhai Rang sent Wei Zheng to secretly contact us two months ago, hoping to get our support. We didn't want to consider the Wagang Army, but since Yang Xuangan had failed, it would be beneficial for us to recruit this army. So I discussed and decided to send Li Mi to recruit the Wagang Army. However, Li Mi died, so I had to let Jiancheng take over him."

Li Yuan thought to himself that this matter has both disadvantages and advantages. Although there are certain risks, if it is built, it is likely that it will become a major boost to his career in the future.

Thinking of this, he finally nodded and agreed, "Okay! Then let Jiancheng go to Wagang to fight."

Seeing that he agreed, Dou Qing stroked his beard happily and said, "In order to protect Jiancheng's safety, I plan to let Wang Bodou accompany him."

Li Yuan hurriedly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, father-in-law, for his careful consideration."

Dou Qing whispered: "Board come in!"

Wang Bodang walked into the room again, and he bowed and stood with his hands down.

Dou Qing and the other two looked at each other, and Dou Qing tried to speak in a gentle tone: "Are you ready for what you told you last time?"

Wang Bodang nodded silently. He knew that he was asking him to go to Wagang, but Li Mi was already dead, who else would he go with?

"You are with Jiancheng, be sure to protect his safety!" Dou Qing seemed to know what he was thinking.

“Built?”

Wang Bodang was stunned, but he immediately reacted and said immediately: "Abide by the orders of humble duties!"

Li Yuan beside him bowed, "Bodang, Jiancheng, please give it to you."

"Please don't worry, Mr. Li, Bodang will do his best to protect his safety!"

At this time, Wang Bodang remembered Zhang Xuan who was still waiting to meet him, and hurriedly said, "Will you mainly not meet Zhang Xuan?"

Dou Qing smiled slightly, "Actually, I have seen him. This person is very good, has a very smart strategic insight, and is a rare talent."

Wang Bodang was surprised. When did the leader meet Zhang Xuan? Why didn’t he know?

"Brother Dou doesn't want him to join the Wuchuan Association, right?" Dugu Shun next to him said a little unhappy.

In the past year that Dou Qing was the leader of the association, he only recruited many poor families to join the Wuchuan Association. This made Dugu Shun, who valued the bloodline, very dissatisfied. Now that someone who didn’t know where he came, he took a fancy to him again, saying that he had some talent. Is Wuchuan Mansion a vegetable garden? It’s so natural for anyone who knows how to grow orders to bring in!

Dou Qing heard Dugu Shun's dissatisfaction, so he told everyone about Zhang Xuan's Guanlong and Hebei core theory, and said with a smile: "This person has a unique vision and has a profound analysis of the importance of Liaodong to Hebei and the important strategic significance of Goguryeo. This is the talent that our Wuchuan Association lacks the most. Perhaps he is not a Guanlong noble, but I hope to absorb him into the association with the exception."

Li Yuan praised: "This person is indeed very insightful!"

Dou Qing was very formal, and Dugu Dun couldn't directly reject it. He had to take into account Dou Qing's face, but he was unwilling to let him compromise like this. As long as this precedent was opened once, he would not know what chaos would be in the future.

Well, let's talk about it for a while.

Dugu said coldly: "If Brother Dou must let him join the association, I don't object, but I hope to follow the rules of the Wuchuan Association and observe him for at least three months, in case he is an insider sent by the Bohai Association."

Dugu Shun said it very reasonably. The rules of the Wuchuan Association are here. Even Dou Qing, the leader of the association, cannot violate the rules and make special cases.

Dou Qing was helpless. He thought about it and said to Wang Bodang: "According to the rules, you must not tell him in advance about absorbing Zhang Xuan into the society. I don't care what excuses you use or what methods you use. In short, if you want to keep him in Luoyang for three months, at least it will be the end of this year. It is best to let him live in your house so that we can observe him."

Wang Bodou scratched his head. This incident made him very embarrassed. He was by nature unable to lie. What excuses did he make to keep Zhang Xuan?

Li Yuan saw Wang Bodang's embarrassment, so he wanted to help him, "I have a ready-made excuse, but why did Zhang Xuan stay willingly? Bodang still needs to find a way."

Wang Bodang was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and said, "Please teach me Mr. Li!"

Li Yuan smiled slightly, "Isn't he the only witness who Yuwen Shu privately released Yang Xuangan? With this only witness, he can be asked to stay, but most people will not easily agree to be such a witness. This requires some benefit to him and make him willing to stay."

Dou Qing also stroked his beard happily and said, "This excuse is good. Bodang might as well talk to him to see what he needs most?"

A rockery stands on the west side of the yard, and an octagonal pavilion is built on the rockery. Zhang Xuan sat in the pavilion and waited boredly for Wang Bodang to return. From the pavilion, you can clearly see the situation on the other side of the courtyard wall.

On the west side of the living hall, there was a martial arts training ground, which was half the size of a football field in later generations, with several rows of swords, guns, swords and halberds on the side. However, the martial arts training ground was deserted and there was no one.

Although Zhang Xuan could easily climb over the wall, with the lesson he had just learned, he decided not to act rashly.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Bodang's voice suddenly came from behind.

When Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw Wang Bo standing at the gate of the yard, but he didn't know when he would be back?

Zhang Xuan hurriedly walked down the pavilion and smiled, "I saw a martial arts training ground opposite, and I was a little curious."

"Oh--Do you want to try it?" Wang Bodang said with a smile.

"Is this... OK?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. That's the place where I teach my disciples to practice martial arts. Let's go and have a look!"

The excuse for Li Yuan to keep Zhang Xuan is indeed very simple, but it is not easy to make Zhang Xuan willing to stay. This difficult task made Wang Bo extremely troubled.

Wang Bodou was not good at strategy, and he had no choice but to think about it. He could only contact Zhang Xuan first and see what Zhang Xuan needed most according to the advice of the leader.

The two of them came to the martial arts training ground. Wang Bodang took off a large iron spear from the gun stand and asked with a smile: "I found that my brother is very concerned about the silver spear in my family. Could it be that my brother is also a gun practitioner?"

Zhang Xuan blushed and said quickly: "I am not a gun practitioner. I know nothing about martial arts, but I yearn for it."

"My brother is too modest. That silver gun is actually my father's gun, weighing fifty kilograms. He has always wanted to practice a sixty kilogram gun, but he has never been able to break through, so he put all his hopes on me. Fortunately, I did not disappoint him."

Wang Bodang made a move and easily stabbed a few iron spears, handed them to Zhang Xuan and smiled: "This is also a fifty-pound gun, just like the one in my family, please give it a try!"

Zhang Xuan yearned for it. He moved his wrists and took the big iron spear. He felt that the iron spear was obviously rough and not as smooth as the silver spear in Wang Boshen. He used to be famous for his great power, but this long spear made him feel very difficult.

He could do it with a few waves, but it was absolutely impossible to use it as a weapon. He was really surprised in his heart. Wang Bodang was obviously not as tall as him, and he was very difficult for him to even have a fifty-pound iron spear. Why could he still use a sixty-pound iron spear?

Wang Bodang seemed to understand his thoughts, looked at Zhang Xuan, took out two horizontal knives from the knife holder next to him, and smiled and said, "Do you want to have a discussion?"

Zhang Xuan had practiced a very practical fighting sword technique before. He was eager to try it out, put down his iron spear, clasped his fists and smiled, "Then I'm not humble!"

Wang Bodang laughed loudly, "It is the true nature of a man, and the young master can let go of his hands and feet!"

The two of them came to the center of the martial arts training ground, and Zhang Xuan slowly pulled out the knife from the sheath. The cold light was shining and extremely sharp. It turned out to be the army's horizontal sword, and the weight was just right, which was very handy.

Wang Bodou held the knife in both hands and posed in a strange position, like a wild goose flying sideways.

"Please, brother!"

Zhang Xuan was not polite, shouted loudly, stepped forward, and slashed at Wang Bodang with a sharp sword. This knife was extremely simple and had no extra moves, and was full of power. He had practiced hard qigong and could smash four bricks with one punch. The power of this knife was enough to cut off wooden stakes.

"Good come!"

Wang Bode was a person who knew the goods and couldn't help but admire him, but he did not dodge, swung his sword and hit Zhang Xuan's sword head-on.

With a sound of "Dang!", Zhang Xuan was shocked and his arms were numb. The knife in his hand almost broke out. Wang Bodang was also shocked and took a step back.

"Good knife technique!"

Before Zhang Xuan could withdraw his knife, Wang Bodang slashed with a backhand, with a tricky angle and as fast as lightning. Zhang Xuan hurriedly swung his knife to block it. When the two swords hit again, Zhang Xuan found that Wang Bodang's power suddenly became more than twice as powerful. He could no longer hold the knife, and the knife came out of his hand and flew more than two feet away.

"I lost!"

Zhang Xuan raised his hand and smiled bitterly: "I'm so confused. How could I be a rival to Brother Wang?"

Wang Bodang closed his knife and smiled, "You are wrong. In fact, your power is far more powerful than me, but you don't know how to use it at all, and you haven't played the greatest effect."

"How can we achieve the greatest effect?"

"This is hard to describe in one word-"

Wang Bodang pointed to the pavilion not far away and smiled, "Where can we talk about it!"

The two of them came to the pavilion to sit down. Wang Bodang smiled and said, "Actually, I have seen that my brother has never done foundation building or practiced Yijin, right?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "I don't understand. I haven't practiced what you said, what is it?"

"Actually, it's easy to understand. My brother Wang Yi has never practiced martial arts. He is half a head shorter than me, thinner than me, his arms are much thinner than me, and his tendons are far thicker than me. If I hadn't built foundations since I was a child and hadn't practiced Yigang, then I would be the same as him now."

Zhang Xuan understood, "Brother Wang means that foundation building and easing tendons make people grow taller and stronger, right?"

"Half said that, growing taller and stronger is only part of it. More importantly, only by building foundations since childhood and breaking through the easy tendons can we take the third step, that is, cleaning the marrow and digging out the real strength of a person. For example, my brother can only lift 200 kilograms of weight, but in some hurry, he can lift 500 kilograms of weight. Have you ever had this experience?"

Zhang Xuan nodded. He had indeed encountered it. I believe many people have encountered it. Some weak women were able to lift cars in order to save their relatives. In his time, this was called potential.

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood. Could it be that what Wang Bodang said was a way to tap potential? Turn the potential that can only appear in normal times and can be used at any time.

"Brother Wang, I seem to understand a little."

"Actually, the reason is very simple, the key is how to do it."

Zhang Xuan felt a bad feeling in his heart and asked tentatively: "How did Brother Wang do it?"

"I started building foundations at the age of six and started practicing Yijin at the age of eight. When I was sixteen, I broke through twice. I started practicing the power of the Dantian, which was to wash the marrow and lead the power of the Dantian to the whole body. My strength was twice as high as when I was sixteen."

Wang Bodang sighed, "The key is the number of Yijin breaks between the ages of eight and sixteen. I only broke through twice, but the Yuwen Chengdu you saw is said to have broken through four times, so he can become a peerless general. This is his talent, and not everyone can do it."

"What if I can't break through at once?"

"That's the mediocre nature. At most, it's impossible to become a general as a fire chief or a coach. The prerequisite for being a general is strength. The reason why Yuwen Chengdu can become the number one in the world is that he has power that no one can match. Relatively speaking, tricks are really secondary."

Zhang Xuan's heart was cold, does that mean he had no hope? He was twenty-two years old and had long passed the age of breaking through.

Wang Bodang stood up and patted his shoulder gently, "You don't have to be depressed. You have such a tall figure and such a strong physique, and your tendons and veins are no less than me. This is talent. As long as you can draw out the power of the Dantian, I believe your success will be far beyond me. You are late to achieve success."
