"Da da da." There was a knock on the door. Tang Ning opened her eyes. Just as she was about to get up, her body was tightly wrapped around Liu Ruhan.

Tang Ning pushed her gently: "Ruru, Ruru, get up quickly, someone is coming."

Liu Ruhan opened her eyes drowsily, looking at him with her big watery eyes, she squeezed into his arms again, and gently rubbed her cheek against his.

"Someone is coming!" Tangning said again

Only then did Liu Ruhan hear clearly and let go of her little hand holding him.

Tang Ning lifted the quilt and got out of bed and opened the door. The sky outside was white and thick fog was lingering. Wang Dehu stood at the door. The door opened and he walked in: "I'm leaving soon. Come and check on you."

After hearing this, Tang Ning suddenly felt a little reluctant to let go. They had not been together for long, only one day, but the feeling of reluctance was so real.

Although he always said it was because of Master Shen's order, Tang Ning understood that he was a good person.

He could obviously find a place to stay for them, but he took them to his home.

Obviously they could find any iron shop or shop to send them, but he took the trouble to send them here. Just because Tang Ning said that his parents were killed, he remembered it and sent them to practice martial arts.

"You have a good time learning martial arts from them here. Even if you can't get revenge, if you learn good martial arts, it will not be a problem to support yourself. I have fulfilled my wish to see my old friends, and the task assigned by Lord Shen has been completed. I am leaving." Wang De said nonsense.

After finishing turning around, he walked towards the door.

"Uncle Wang." Tang Ning called to him.

Wang Dehu turned around.

Tangning knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Thank you."

"Thank you, Lord Chen Congnan."

Tangning looked at his leaving figure with a sense of loss.

Liu Ruhan walked over and wiped the dust on his forehead with her small hands.

Tang Ning took her hand to close the door and got into bed again. Liu Ruhan hugged him, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, then pressed her cheeks against his.

Tangning was slightly stunned. The two of them had never been like this before.

Liu Ruhan's face rubbed against his gently. At this moment, he had a very strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was exactly.

The two of them lay in bed for a while. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the sound of people's voices could be heard faintly outside the door.

After a while, the voices became louder and louder.

"Ruru, let's get up too!" Tangning said, and as soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

The two got out of bed and opened the door.

A man in black stood outside the door, tall and tall, with a stern expression, carrying a black sword behind his back: "Did Wang Dehu bring you here yesterday?"

"Yes." Tangning nodded.

"Follow me." The man said and turned around to leave.

Tang Ning took Liu Ruhan's hand and hurriedly followed.

The two of them followed him out of the mansion. There was a carriage parked at the door. The man got in, and the two of them followed him and got into the carriage.

As the carriage set off, Tang Ning held Liu Ruhan's little hand and sat on one side. The man sat on the other side, with his hands on his legs and his upper body straight. The carriage swayed, but his body did not move at all.

"Where are we going?" Tangning asked in a low voice.

The man glanced at him and didn't answer. Tangning didn't dare to ask again.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped. The man got up and got out of the carriage, and Tangning naturally followed.

This is a valley, surrounded by mountains, and the sound of chirping birds is endless.

Not far away, a group of children about Tangning's age were walking along the mountain road with two buckets on their shoulders.

The leaves rustled slightly, and a man passed through the air and turned over and stopped in front of them.

This man was also dressed in black, holding a bamboo stick in his mouth. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a cynical look: "Hey, Senior Brother Qi, why are you here free?"

"I'll leave these two to you."

"No way! How can you still accept someone after this? It's a girl, hey, she looks pretty good."

"It's the master's order."

The man curled his lips: "Come with me!"

"This is where you live. My name is Qin Luo. You can call me Mr. Qin. You have a day off today. You can walk around and have a look. Tomorrow you will start practicing like them. Over there is the kitchen. You can watch

When do they eat, eat with them." The man took the two to their dormitory and said.

"Um, Coach Qin, I'm practicing with them, what about her?" Tang Ning asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, I almost forgot, what should I do if I have a girl? Let's do this! I'll make arrangements for her tomorrow."

After the man left, Tang Ning and Liu Ruhan entered the room. This room was much inferior to the guest rooms in the caravan. It was small and simple, but fortunately it was still clean.

After staying in the room for a while, Tang Ning saw those people heading towards the living room one after another when it was close to noon, so she pulled Liu Ruhan and walked inside.

As soon as they entered, the crowd glanced at them.

It felt very awkward to be stared at by dozens of people. Tangning lowered her head and walked up behind a person, consciously lining up.

"Who are you? How come I've never seen you before?" asked a man of similar age in front of Tang Ning.

"I just came today." Tangning whispered.

"Why are there still people coming today? Hasn't the recruitment deadline passed?" The child asked doubtfully.

Tangning didn't know how to answer, so she could only say, "I don't know either."

"Who is she? Why is there still a girl?"

"She is my sister, she came with me."

"Oh, my name is Gu Chengqian, and I came two months earlier than you."

"My name is Tangning, and her name is Liu Ruhan."

Liu Ruhan kept her head lowered, holding Tang Ning's hand tightly with her little hand.

Tangning followed the team forward, went to the counter to get her food, and found a table in the corner to sit on.

Liu Ruhan followed him, and the two returned to the room after dinner.

"Hey, you guys live here!" Just as he was about to walk in, a voice came from behind.

Tang Ning looked back and saw a boy with regular features and fair skin looking at them. It was Gu Chengqian who had just spoken to him.

"Do you live here?" Gu Chengqian asked

Tangning nodded.

"I live here, next to you."

There are four rooms in this corridor. Tangning lives in the third room. Gu Chengqian pointed to the second room and said

"Don't you need to practice?" Tangning asked

"You have an hour to rest after eating every day. I happen to be fine. Can I come to your room and sit for a while?"

"come in!"

The three of them entered the room, Gu Chengqian sat on the stool, and Liu Ruhan sat next to Tang Ning on the bed.

"Did everyone here arrive two months ago?" Tangning asked.

"Of course not. Some have stayed for one year, some have stayed for two years, and some have stayed for three years."

Tangning nodded. No wonder he saw many people who were obviously much taller than them when he was in the hall just now: "Does everyone have to stay for three years before leaving?"

"Not everyone, most people have to stay for three years. They have an assessment every year. If they pass the assessment, they can become official disciples of the caravan."

"Formal disciple?"

"That's right! Only those who pass the exam are official disciples and will further teach the techniques. If you fail to pass the exam in three years, you can only become a foreign affairs disciple of the caravan."

"Do you know what the caravan does?"

"Of course I know, let me tell you." Gu Chengqian looked proud: "The caravan is the largest green forest gang in Chu State. All horse sales and transactions in Chu State must be registered with the caravan and can only be bought and sold after approval. The leader of this generation's caravan is called

Cui Yilin, known as Jianyu Scholar in the world, is a recognized master of swordsmanship and one of the four masters of the Chu Kingdom."

"Scholar of Sword Rain?"

"That's right, because his swordsmanship is extremely high and his swords are as fast and dense as rain. In addition, he always dresses like a scholar, so he is known as the Sword Rain Scholar."

"Then have you heard of Dehu, Iron Arm King of Xizhou?"

"Xizhou Iron Arm? I've never heard of it. By the way, where did you come from?"

"We came from Anning County, how about you?"

"I'm from Dongsheng County. My family runs a bodyguard bureau. My father asked me to come here to learn advanced martial arts and take over the bodyguard bureau when I go back."

The two of them were chatting about this and that for the whole noon. Tang Ning didn't understand anything after she came here, so it was natural for her to find someone to ask. Gu Chengqian was a cheerful person, so if he had the opportunity to show off his erudition, he would naturally tell everything he knew.

It wasn't until practice time came in the afternoon that Gu Chengqian left and promised Tangning to come back in the evening.
