Lin Nuo was silent. When he looked at the young man, his eyes were filled with admiration.

Although this young man is a bit of a middle-schooler and has a strange brain circuit, he is actually extremely smart. Regardless of whether the other party’s original purpose was to seek apprenticeship from an expert, his approach to apprenticeship is indeed the way to resolve this grudge now.

The best way.

You must know that the Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. Killing the Jinyiwei is almost the same as rebellion.

In this case, most murderers will definitely choose to do nothing, kill people completely, and bury all clues in the snow.

The young man must be very aware of how dangerous the current situation is, so he made the most correct choice at the critical moment, giving up the confrontation, and instead chose to learn from his master and draw the enemy into the same camp.

This is a step, a step that both parties can step down with dignity.

Now, it depends on whether Lin Nuo is willing to go down this stairs!

After looking at each other, Xiu'er looked calm and did not give any opinion. The meaning was very clear that Lin Nuo, the nominal husband, should make the decision on this kind of matter!

The middle-aged coachman, on the other hand, nodded slightly to Lin Nuo, indicating that he would stop as soon as he was ready. He couldn't really rebel, right?

Lin Nuo took a deep breath, and the cold breath poured into his heart, making his whole mind clearer. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he finally decided to accept this apprentice.

This decision actually involves risks. If the young man in front of him is a narrow-minded person and mobilizes an army to encircle and suppress them after returning to the capital, in that case, even Lin Nuo and others may capsize in the gutter.

But on the other hand, wealth and honor are sought in danger. If this person is really the prince Zhu Houzhao, and if he is really recognized as his master by the other party, when Emperor Hongzhi dies and the prince takes over, then Lin Nuo will really rise to prominence!

If he gives it a try, he might be able to collect enough blessings by turning his bicycle into a motorcycle and opening up the two channels of Ren and Du. This kind of huge benefit is enough for him to take a risk!

"Since you have already performed the apprenticeship ceremony, I will accept this disciple!"

His body shook, and the white scholar's uniform on his body bulged, shaking off the falling snowflakes. Lin Nuo raised his hand to take the meteorite from the young man. After looking at it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction, "This

It’s a good thing, and I happened to be able to use it, so I accepted it!”

Seeing Lin Nuo accept the gift, the young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, stood up from the ground, and asked curiously: "Master, when are you going to teach me martial arts?"

"The imperial examination is coming soon, and I have to take part in the examination. When this spring is over, you can come and find me... I guess with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find my residence, right?"

"Haha..." The young man smiled slightly awkwardly and did not continue the topic.

"By the way, I know that your identity is unusual. My surname is Lin. From now on, you can just call me Master Lin. You don't have to call me Master... Also, what I am best at is marksmanship. If you don't like it, then I

There’s not much left to teach!”

"Marksmanship?" The young man was overjoyed when he heard this, "My marksmanship is good!"

"Master Lin doesn't know something. What the disciple longs for most is to become a general who can ride on the battlefield in the future. In ancient times, most famous generals used guns. What the disciple wants to learn the most is actually a gun!"

This time, the young man's joy did not seem to be fake. It was obvious that he really wanted to practice shooting from the bottom of his heart, and he really wanted to become a general who could ride on the battlefield.

The wind and snow continued, but the two sides who were originally at war with each other turned into friendship, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

Lin Nuo and the young man entered the ruined temple. As for the other Jin Yi guards, some were guarding the young man, and some were collecting the corpses inside. From the beginning to the end, these Jin Yi guards did not say a word and strictly followed the young man's orders. This shows the importance of discipline.

strict.

That night, everyone sat around the bonfire built by the Jinyi guards, keeping warm and chatting.

Basically, Lin Nuo and others rarely spoke, but the young man kept talking, talking about some interesting things he had done when he went out to study under his master during this period, and talked about his yearning for being on the battlefield and becoming a general.

Full of middle-level atmosphere!

The next morning, the wind and snow had basically stopped. Although the snow on the road was very thick, without the obstruction of the wind and snow, the carriage could move forward slowly.

There are still more than ten miles away from the capital. Even if the road is slower, we can still enter the city.

.......

The fifteenth year of Hongzhi was an extremely cold year for the northern region.

Groups of refugees with their families flocked from all directions to Beijing, the capital of the Ming Empire.

When Lin Nuo and others entered Beijing, what they saw was not the prosperity of the capital, but the chaotic flow of refugees.

Looking at the dark mass of refugees, Lin Nuo and others stopped the carriage, especially the young man who had been chatting away last night, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Didn't the elders say that the country is now peaceful and the people are living and working in peace and contentment? Why did so many refugees come in just after a heavy snowfall?"

Most of these refugees come from the Zhili area. They are wearing ragged cotton-padded jackets, with straw ropes around their waists tightly tied to suppress hunger. Each of them uses a shoulder pole to carry shivering children and some shabby quilts and clothes, or to stay in the country.

Begging under the overpass or just on the roadside, humble and confused.

"These are only the refugees in areas close to the capital. There are probably more refugees from other provinces!" Lin Nuo glanced at the refugee flow and sneered casually, "As for the elders in the court, in their eyes, as long as the people are hungry,

If not too many people freeze to death, then the country and the people will be safe."

"As long as not too many people starve to death and freeze to death, then the country is safe and the people are safe?"

The young man may not have many opportunities to go out, but this is the first time he has seen such a large flow of refugees. Seeing such a miserable scene, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Master Lin, do you think it is really difficult to let the people live a life of peace and contentment instead of just whitewashing it?"

"It is difficult to say it is difficult, but it is actually simple to say it is simple... Our Ming Dynasty has accumulated too many disadvantages, but the most urgent disadvantage now is the lack of money. The central court is short of money!"

"Even the imperial court is short of money, let alone ordinary people!"

The Ming Dynasty has now entered its mid-to-late period, and various shortcomings have gradually surfaced, including governance, economy, culture, and military.
