Chapter 11 Zhang He: Gao Lan, come and claim your master!

lobby.

As soon as Ye Feng came in, he saw a man of similar age next to Zhang He. He was of medium build, with a calm temperament, and a hint of restrained sharpness between his brows.

"Junyi, sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Hearing Ye Feng's voice, Zhang He stood up from his seat and said with a smile, "We two just arrived too, so we haven't been waiting for long."

Then he pulled the man beside him and introduced him, "My lord, this is the good brother Gao Lan I mentioned to you, also known by his courtesy name Yuanbo."

After saying that, he winked at Gao Lan who was standing beside him.

Gao Lan politely bowed to Ye Feng: "Gao Lan greets Master Ye!"

"You are too polite, please take a seat!"

Ye Feng returned the greeting and invited the two to sit down.

After sitting down, Ye Feng didn't waste any words and said directly: "Junyi regards you as a brother, so I will speak directly if I have anything to say."

"Yuan Bo, troubled times are about to come. I want to make arrangements in advance to establish my career and create unprecedented achievements in these troubled times. Are you willing to help me?"

Gao Lan looked confused. He looked at Zhang He and then at Ye Feng, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhang He smiled awkwardly and said, "My Lord, many of the things in the letter are inconvenient to explain, so I didn't tell Yuan Bo much."

"I dragged him here as soon as he arrived at noon. On the way, I was so busy reminiscing about the past that I forgot to explain the matter clearly."

"This is my mistake, please forgive me, my lord."

Ye Feng immediately repeated the rapid development of Taiping Dao and Zhang Jiao's words that he was going to rise up in rebellion.

After saying this, he stood up and paced, his eyes full of domineering: "Now the court is corrupt, nepotism, and the military preparations in various places are lax and scattered. Suddenly, they are attacked by millions of people. It is impossible to quell the rebellion in a short time."

"At that time, I will definitely call on the powerful people and noble families in the world to rise up in rebellion and pacify the world."

“And this is our opportunity.”

"As long as you seize the opportunity, you can soar into the sky."

"Yuanbo, are you interested?"

Gao Lan did not speak rashly. He pondered for a long time and stared at Ye Feng closely: "Young Master, you only want to achieve success and have no other ideas?"

Ye Feng shook his head: "If the world is at peace, we will work hard to serve our country and make great contributions."

"If the world is in chaos and someone is needed to reorganize the government and stabilize the nine provinces, I will naturally not give up this opportunity."

Gao Lan understood what Ye Feng meant, and the hesitation in his eyes became even greater.

If one trains troops privately without the permission of the imperial court, the crime will be punishable by death once the news gets out.

Although Ye Feng said it with certainty, whether the world would be in chaos or not was still unknown.

Is Ye Feng in front of me worthy of my life?

Is it worth the risk?

Zhang He on the side was a little anxious. He knew that his brother Gao Lan was a steady person, always thoughtful and liked to plan before taking action.

But now is definitely a good opportunity for Ye Feng to recruit.

After all, providing timely assistance is far better than icing on the cake.

Seeing Gao Lan still hesitating, Zhang He could not help but speak: "We have practiced martial arts together since we were young, and we have served in the army together and fought side by side. We are as close as brothers."

“Today I ask you one question: Can you trust me?”

Gao Lan was stunned. Looking at the extremely serious Zhang He, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If I didn't believe you, why would I come all the way here?"

Zhang He smiled softly, "We have been struggling at the bottom for more than ten years and have seen countless cases of cannibalism."

"How long do you think this empire, which is so corrupt from top to bottom, can last?"

"Why did the Taiping Dao develop so rapidly and have its influence spread across the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty?" "It's simply because the people have no way to make a living, no food to eat, no money for medical treatment, and can only pray to gods and immortals."

"Even without the Lord's analysis, I believe that the world will be in chaos. This is a great opportunity for us to reshape the world for the people of the world."

"And the lord is a rare talent, with strategies in his mind and the world in his heart."

"In troubled times, it is the opportunity for you, my lord, to soar into the sky. It is also the opportunity for us to make achievements and leave our names in history."

"If you believe me, don't be so fussy and follow the master. He will never treat you unfairly."

Looking at Zhang He's serious face, which seemed to say that if you don't listen to me, I will not acknowledge you as my brother, Gao Lan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He was just thinking carefully, but in Zhang He's eyes he came off as fussy.

However, he also knew Zhang He's good intentions, which were that he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity.

Thinking back to the time when Zhang He said on the way here that he had just acknowledged Ye Feng as his master, he was rewarded with heavenly-level skills and battle formations by Ye Feng, which was extremely generous. And now it seemed that he had no better choice.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Lan knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir. I am willing to serve you as your master."

"Greetings, my lord!!"

Ye Feng knew that Gao Lan recognized his master more because of Zhang He.

But he didn't care, because as long as he was given time, he was confident that Gao Lan would sincerely accept him as his master.

"Please get up quickly!"

"You don't have to be so polite, Yuan Bo."

Ye Feng smiled and helped Gao Lan up: "I am very happy to have a brave general today."

"As a gift, I will give you a top-level martial arts method."

At this point, he looked at Zhang He and said, "You can also give the three battle formations to Yuan Bo for his contemplation. There is no need to keep them to yourself."

Zhang He nodded repeatedly. Seeing Gao Lan still in a daze, he quickly pulled Gao Lan's arm and said, "My lord created a technique for you. Why don't you thank him?"

Gao Lan was still full of confusion.

He had heard about the three types of battle formations from Zhang He and was very excited.

But what the hell is it that you can create a technique for yourself?

Seeing that Gao Lan was still confused, Zhang He quickly explained: "The heaven-level skills I mentioned are the ones that the lord improved based on the Soul-breaking Skill that I practiced myself. It is very suitable for me."

"Is this the heavenly level technique you are talking about?"

Gao Lan said in shock.

He originally thought that the heavenly-level skills Zhang He mentioned were either fragments or useless and not easy to practice. He never imagined that Zhang He's own skills had been upgraded to a heavenly-level skill.

The heavenly-level skills that suit you and those useless fragments may only differ by a few words, but their effects are worlds apart.

After taking a deep breath, Gao Lan bowed to the ground again: "Thank you for the reward, my lord. But how can I deserve such a reward when I have done nothing?"

Without waiting for Ye Feng to speak, Zhang He put his arm around Gao Lan's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't say these polite words. I will repay you with my death in the future. Just do your best."

Gao Lan's eyes were filled with unusual determination: "My lord treats me so well, how can I have any other ideas?"

"We can only go through fire and water and die."

Ye Feng was very satisfied with their performance, but he said calmly: "No need to be polite, just listen to my orders."

"Let's go to the martial arts arena and show me the skills you've practiced."

As they spoke, the three of them headed towards the martial arts arena together.

When they had nothing to do on the way, Zhang He briefly recounted the story of Ye Feng's creation of the martial arts that day, which made Gao Lan feel even more expectant.

He couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that the technique he was practicing would be promoted to a heavenly level technique.
