At dawn, in a quiet place on Iron Lotus Mountain, there were only Teng Qing Shan and Teng Qing Hu.

  "Qing Shan, you're looking for me? Something's up?" Teng Qinghu had been on a roll lately, having come in first among the fifty Wu Chang who competed, earning him the position of Bai Fu Zhang. He was naturally proud.

  Teng Qing Shan's face sank: "Look at you, have you forgotten? In June, the Black Armor Army will recruit new members again. At that time, the eight weakest hundred-man commanders will be eliminated and replaced by top warriors among the newcomers to compete for the position of hundred-man commander."

  Hong Qinghu was taken aback for a moment, then rubbed his head and chuckled: "When the time comes, we'll just do what we have to!"

  "Here." Teng Qing Shan took out a book from his bosom and threw it over.

  "What is this?" Teng Qinghu took over, and it was obviously a book bound with some drafts, not a printed version. On the white paper of the cover, there were four big characters - Lihuo Wushi!

  Hong Qinghu was shocked and quickly flipped through it.

  "Teng Qing Mountain, this, this......" Teng Qing Hu's eyes lit up, looking at Teng Qing Mountain with surprise and delight. "Teng Qing Mountain, this is the secret of gun technique that matches internal energy! Where did you get it from? Ah, my internal energy matches this gun technique, its power will be greater. However, it looks quite complicated."

  Suddenly, Teng Qinghu was taken aback and stared at Teng Qingshan in a daze: "Qingshan, this...this is the secret manual of the Guiyuan Sect, right? Within the sect, there are orders that the manuals they bestow upon us are not allowed to be randomly passed on to others! Otherwise, it would be against the sect's rules! I mustn't learn it!" As he spoke, he threw it back at Teng Qingshan.

  "Don't worry, am I the kind of person who doesn't know what's important?" Teng Qing Shan smiled and threw it over again. "This secret book 'Liang Huo Wu Shi' was created by me, you can learn it if you want."

  "Green Mountain, did you create it?" Tong Qinghu stared with wide eyes.

  Hong Qing Shan took out another book from his bosom, "Liang Yan Gun Jue": "This Liang Yan Gun Jue was actually given to me by the sect. In fact, after you master Liang Yan Gun Jue, it would be better for you to learn Lie Huo Wu Shi. However, I also cannot violate the sect's rules. Moreover, with the next round of new recruitments approaching soon, there is not enough time for you to learn Lie Huo Wu Shi after mastering Liang Yan Gun Jue."

  The ancestral temple has strict rules and regulations.

  If a secret book is given to one person, and this person spreads it all over the world, what secrets can the Yuan sect still have? Therefore, the secret book can only be learned by oneself. If it is passed on to outsiders, the guilt will be great.

  Those who cause minor harm will be locked up for a year and a half to reflect on their mistakes.

  Serious harm, for example, passing on a very important secret within the sect, abolishing martial arts or directly executing death are all possible.

  However, for self-created ones like "Lihuo Wushi", Guiyuan Sect does not prohibit them. On the contrary, once Guiyuan Sect finds out, they will be very happy to include this secret manual and give rewards of varying degrees to the creator based on the power of the new secret manual.

  "You directly learn the 'Liang Huo Wu Shi', it's a bit more difficult! But I'll personally teach you, no big deal." Teng Qing Shan was very confident, "Your listening skills are quite good. In a few years, you should be able to reach the level of man and gun as one." When Teng Qing Shan was young, he easily reached the level of man and gun as one.

  That is because Mount Tiantai was the Master's past life.

  But Teng Qinghu, in order to achieve a state of perfect unity between man and gun, this 'big gun stake' requires a lot of practice.

  "Uh-huh, Qing Shan, I'm listening." Teng Qinghu was somewhat expectant.

  "From today on, every morning for one and a half hours, every evening for one and a half hours, learn this gun technique." Teng Qing Shan said.

  "Yes, Young Master!" Teng Qinghu said with a smile.

  Whether it's "Tian Ya Xing", or "Lie Huo Wu Shi", or even the Tiger Fist, they were all taught by Teng Qing Shan. Although Teng Qing Hu and he are cousins, they have a master-disciple relationship. This martial art does not distinguish between age, whoever achieves mastery becomes the teacher.

  "Be serious, don't become the weakest of the eight hundred men. If it gets out, I'll lose face too." Teng Qing Shan said.

  "Don't worry, Qing Shan, I won't let you lose face." Teng Qinghu said.

  ……

  In the following days, Teng Qing Shan carefully instructed. Because he was very familiar with his brother's strength, he taught according to his ability, and Teng Qing Hu's strength made progress, which was completely within Teng Qing Shan's expectations.

  In "Liang Huo Wu Shi", the two moves 'adding fuel to the fire' and 'taking chestnuts from the flames', Deng Qingtian had made some progress.

  While "Fire Tree Silver Flower" and "Beacon Fire Sweeping Prairie" were too difficult, Teng Qinghu could only touch the edge. As for the most powerful "Fire Transmission", it was known that even Teng Qingshan, who had understood the realm of melancholy since his previous life, spent a long time creating this move. Teng Qinghu didn't understand this move at all.

  I have no feeling at all for the so-called 'putting it in a desperate situation and then bringing it back to life'.

  Nothing can be done...

  Heng Qinghu still has some gaps in his boundaries.

  "Adding fuel to the fire is the most courageous of the five moves, while 'plucking chestnuts from the flames' is the most sinister. With these two moves, Brother Zhang is considered a top-notch fighter among the hundred-man commanders." Teng Qing Shan was confident, "When we return, the Black Armor Army's internal competition will be a stage for Brother Zhang to shine!"

  ……

  The three-month term of garrisoning the mine was soon over.

  This evening

  "Brother Qing Shan, haha... Last time, my brother and I said you have a great future ahead of you. Look, it's only been this short period of time and you're already the commander! If you don't mind, just call me 'brother'!" Huafeng City Lord 'Guiqing' said with a smile. Teng Qing Shan had a very good impression of this Guiqing City Lord, at least he didn't have any arrogant air about him.

  Last time was good for him.

  "Guang brother, I just got lucky." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  "Zijin stole it, and you're also benefiting from the misfortune, brother." Guixing said mysteriously, "Have you found out the identity of the culprit who crippled Bai Ze?"

  "Hmm, who?" Teng Qing Shan wondered, but he didn't investigate the murderer further.

  "It's a group of bandits led by a young man named Dong Yan." Gui Qing sighed, "That Dong Yan, in my Huafeng City, is not well-known among ordinary civilians, but in the circles of wealthy merchants and gangs, he is notorious. He's a ruthless and cunning little devil, and anyone who fights him will be left with scars even if they win."

  Teng Qing Shan still remembered that young man.

  At that time, the young man's partner was killed, and the young man went crazy to kill Shirasaka, but suddenly released a hidden weapon.

  "That Dong Yan, I'd like to meet him." Teng Qing Shan praised, "However, he's very sinister! He seems crazy, but it's all a disguise. Moreover, there are still several top-notch martial artists under his command. His hidden weapons are also extremely poisonous. Such a person is indeed not easy to mess with."

  "This kid is not to be trifled with. At the age of twelve, he dared to poison a wealthy merchant's entire family, leaving no guards behind. His methods are very cunning. I just received news that Dong Yan has fled to Xuyang County and joined a large gang there." Gu Qing said, "I have a feeling... this Dong Yan, mark my words, will definitely be a prominent figure in Yangzhou within ten years!"

  Hong Qingshan was secretly shocked.

  At twelve years old, he poisoned a whole wealthy family to death, which was indeed ruthless and poisonous enough.

  "General Doudou!" A black armored soldier who was in charge of the lookout ran over, "The other battalion that's stationed here is estimated to arrive at the foot of the mountain soon."

  "Let's go, we'll go down and meet them." Teng Qing Shan said repeatedly.

  At once, both Tong Qing and Hua Feng, the lord of Huafeng City, descended the mountain together.

  *******

  At dawn, with the farewell of the city master and the people of Tonghe and Huafeng City, Teng Qingshan led his 500 Black Armor Army, riding war horses, leaving Iron Chain Mountain and heading to Jiangning Prefecture!

  When they came, Teng Qing Shan was a hundred-man commander and Teng Qing Hu was a five-man commander.

  When they returned, Teng Qing Shan was a Du Tong and Teng Qing Hu was a Bai Fu Chang. The twists and turns of life are indeed wonderful.

  ……

  Black armor cavalry galloped swiftly along the official road.

  Smoke and dust billowed, on the official road, regardless of whether it was a wealthy merchant or traveler, ordinary people, or horse bandits, all retreated to the side of the road, fearing that they would disturb this black armored army.

  Step! Step! Step!

  The war horse galloped, setting out at dawn, and by the time the sun was dazzling, Teng Qing and his men had already left the Huafeng City area and entered the territory of Yicheng.

  "Halt!" Ting Qing Shan gave the order.

  "Law law~~~~"

  The well-trained soldiers of the Black Armor Army stopped quickly and didn't make a sound. The other five centurions immediately rushed to Teng Qing's side.

  "Governor-general...". Tian Dan and others looked at Teng Qing Shan.

  "Tian brother, let's part ways here for now. I and Qinghu will head back home first! As for you all, go straight to Yicheng to eat and rest. The lord of Yicheng must have already prepared food and wine! By this afternoon, Qinghu and I will rush to Yicheng and gather with you all. Then we'll set off together, returning to Jiangning!" Teng Qingshan said.

  Tian Dan and others nodded.

  When he came, Teng Qing Shan thought of going home but couldn't because there was Bai Ze Yu on top. Now, Teng Qing Shan is the commander and the highest leader of this camp, so what he says goes.

  "Finally can go home." Teng Qinghu was overjoyed.

  "This time, Old Du, Tian brother, you four lead the good horses." Teng Qing Shan instructed.

  "General, don't worry." The four of them laughed.

  Teng Qing Shan nodded slightly and immediately looked at Teng Qing Hu: "Qing Hu, let's go!" In the presence of many soldiers, Teng Qing Shan had to maintain the dignity of the commander, so he called out "Qing Hu" instead of "older brother".

  "Giddy up!" "Giddy up!"

  Teng Qing Shan and Teng Qing Huo rode their war horses at full gallop and soon disappeared from the Black Armors' line of sight.

  "We should set off too," said Tian Dan.

  Du Hong nodded and immediately said in a loud voice: "Depart!"

  At that time, the black armored cavalry horse went to Yicheng direction again, and after running for half an hour, the black armored cavalry finally arrived at Yicheng.

  ……

  On the main road of Yicheng, the Black Armor Army was advancing in a mighty manner. The vendors, merchants and pedestrians all retreated to the side, not daring to provoke these fearsome soldiers. On the section of the road where there were many wine houses last time, Yang Ke, the lord of Yicheng, was leading a group of subordinates to welcome the arrival of the Black Armor Army.

  "Lord of the castle!" A man with a scar on his face, wearing brocade, smiled and said, "This new governor Tong Qing Shan is from our Yicheng, and he's still quite close to me."

  This man is Liu San Ye of the White Horse Society. As the leader of the White Horse Society, he also has a more dignified air about him.

  Who doesn't know about Liu San Ye's ruthless tactics in the White Horse Society?

  "Haha, isn't it that Teng Qing Shan's abilities are too strong, and you, Liu San, have intentionally sought to befriend him?" A middle-aged man in a white shirt laughed and said, "However, your luck is really good. Teng Qing Shan has just joined the Black Armor Army for a short time, but he has already become the commander-in-chief. It was even personally appointed by the sect master. The sect master treats him very favorably... He's still young now, and his future prospects are boundless. You can be considered to have good eyesight, befriending such a friend."

  Liu San Ye smiled all over his face.

  "Oh, the Black Armor Army has arrived. Go, you can also go and meet your good friend, Liu Qing Shan." The lord of Yicheng, Yang Ke, said with a smile, and immediately Liu San Ye and he went forward together to welcome them.
