Su Xuan smiled, shook his head, and then bowed to Huang Zhong: "Let's continue! I heard that you are a master of both blade and bow, and your horsemanship is not bad either. These are all things I need to learn, so please teach me!"

"Naturally!"

Huang Zhong agreed without hesitation and immediately began to teach Su Xuan blade techniques, archery, and horsemanship.

[You listened to and watched Huang Zhong teach blade techniques, learned the Phoenix Cry Blade Technique, combined it with your own situation, made adjustments, and combined it with inspiration from your past life's memories to create the True Phoenix Cry Blade Technique.]

[You listened to and watched Huang Zhong teach archery, learned the Flame Arrow Art, and combined it with inspiration from your past life's memories to create the Great Yi Arrow Art.]

[You observed Huang Zhong's horsemanship experience, gained great insight, comprehended horsemanship, and subsequently comprehended mounted archery.]

Watching Su Xuan master the Phoenix Cry Blade Technique, the Flame Arrow Art, and mounted archery in just a few attempts, even surpassing him.

This speed of progress was simply terrifying.

The shock in Huang Zhong's heart was beyond measure.

A person cannot, at least they shouldn't be such a monster.

"Sigh! I suddenly feel like I'm old!"

Huang Zhong sighed, feeling a sense of dejection at being left behind.

Thinking about it, if anyone witnessed a person instantly master what they had spent decades learning and mastering, and even innovate and surpass them, anyone would feel dejected or even collapse, right?

Fortunately, Huang Zhong had a firm mind and at least did not collapse.

"Hoo!"

After completely mastering mounted archery, Su Xuan, covered in sweat and panting, dismounted and walked to Huang Zhong, smiling: "Huang Hansheng, let's stop here for today! We will continue tomorrow."

"Very well!"

Huang Zhong nodded with a wry smile and continued: "Actually, I have already taught you everything I could. Your comprehension of Martial Dao and martial arts has even surpassed mine, so you don't need my guidance at all!"

He was telling the truth.

In less than a single day, Su Xuan had already emptied him of his Martial Dao knowledge. Huang Zhong never expected it to be like this.

"Eh!"

Su Xuan waved his hand dismissively: "Uncle Huang is being modest. Compared to you, there are still many things I need to learn!"

"Not to mention Martial Dao, I heard from my mother that you also have extraordinary attainments in training and commanding troops. Why don't we learn that tomorrow?"

"Coincidentally, I am preparing to train a cavalry unit next. What does Uncle Huang think?"

"Hmm?"

Huang Zhong frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Cavalry? Is the Young Master preparing to train private troops? This is a major crime. Are you training them for the County Magistrate?"

Huang Zhong was very cautious when saying this, deliberately lowering his voice.

As if he were afraid of being overheard.

Su Xuan had shown him great kindness, was generous, and from what he had seen so far, his character was also very good. They were also of the same clan, and he did not want Su Xuan to take a wrong step and go down the wrong path.

"I am aware of this!"

Su Xuan was satisfied with Huang Zhong's protection, nodded with a smile, and beckoned: "There are hidden circumstances. Uncle Huang, come with me to the study, and let's have a good talk!"

"Understood!"

Immediately, Su Xuan took Huang Zhong to the study and, after inviting him to sit down,

Su Xuan looked at Huang Zhong seriously and told him about the matters concerning the Way of Peace.

"Hiss!"

Huang Zhong frowned and gasped: "The Way of Peace, rebellion? How dare they?"

Then, he pondered: "Come to think of it, when I was seeking medical treatment everywhere these past few years, I did indeed encounter many followers of the Way of Peace;"

"I even once sought medical treatment from a follower, but when I discovered that the person was just using deceptive tricks, I took Xu'er and left directly;"

"I didn't expect them to have such ambition. This is really..."

"Is the Young Master certain they are going to rebel?"

Huang Zhong still asked, unwilling to give up.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Su Xuan directly punctured Huang Zhong's wishful thinking: "If it weren't for rebellion, why would they develop so many followers?"

"That is a crowd of millions."

"I even infer that they are almost ready!"

"In a year or two, they will likely start their uprising!"

"Furthermore, many noble clans, powerful families, and eunuchs are involved in this. Although their goals are different, they are all pushing the Way of Peace to rebel;"

"When their goals are about to be realized, even if the upper echelons of the Way of Peace don't want to rebel, it will be out of their hands!"

Do you really think these forces are good people?

Covering for the Way of Peace without asking for anything in return?

Nonsense!

If the Way of Peace, these mud-legged people, really succeeded in their rebellion and overthrew the Great Han, then these beneficiaries of the current order would likely face a disaster.

"Indeed!"

Huang Zhong also had to nod and face this reality.

"However, Young Master, you say that eunuchs, noble clans, and powerful families are pushing and supporting this from behind?"

"Why would they do that?"

Huang Zhong's sensitivity in this area was average, so naturally, he could not see through it.

Su Xuan immediately analyzed and explained to him: "Naturally, for their own interests!"

"The noble clans want to use this opportunity to force the imperial power to yield, obtain greater rights and interests, and at the same time, force the Son of Heaven to lift the partisan prohibitions;"

"The eunuchs want to take the opportunity to purge local noble clans and powerful forces and occupy the power vacuum left behind;"

"Powerful families also want to take advantage of the chaos to build a career and gain the opportunity to become noble clans."

"In the end, everything is for profit, and the Way of Peace is just a tool being used."

"Of course, the leader of the Way of Peace, Zhang Jiao, might also have his own plans and ideas;"

"It's just a pity that this rebellion could never succeed from the very beginning;"

"Because his enemies are too many and too strong!"

"He doesn't yet know how to distinguish true friends from enemies, nor does he have a clear platform, system, etc. He is destined to become a tool for various classes to achieve their goals and interests."

Zhang Jiao is an idealist.

His initial ideas and goals were all very good and great.

He wanted to achieve a Great Harmony society.

Unfortunately, everything is unrealistic.

"Hiss... I didn't expect the truth to be like this! This is truly cruel and dark!"

Huang Zhong gasped and muttered.

He couldn't think too deeply about it; once he did, he felt his scalp go numb.

These classes are truly black-hearted!

He felt that he could not mix with these people at all.

"Then, what is your goal, Young Master?"

Huang Zhong looked at Su Xuan seriously and asked.

Since he had pledged loyalty to Su Xuan, he naturally had to share Su Xuan's worries and help him achieve his goals.

He needed to know what Su Xuan wanted to do.

Su Xuan immediately replied: "Naturally, it is to rise with the trend, quell the rebellion, and build a career!"

"I have a premonition that a true chaotic era is coming, and the rebellion of the Way of Peace is just a beginning!"

"The great chaos will not end with the end of the Way of Peace!"

"Before the true chaos arrives, I need to master enough power and troops, and possess enough strength, to survive in this chaotic era and lead my family and the families of my subordinates to survive;"
