Chapter 63: The Storyteller and the Maid

Zhang Xiaowu told the two of them about the process of the prisoner of war riot, and handed over the written document to Guan Xiang, who first glanced at it hastily, and then was shocked, handed over the official document to Su Yu, and praised: "This process is skimmed and formatted...... It is clearer and more concise than the official documents of the imperial court! Zhang Shichang, have you read books before? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said modestly: "I understand a little, I understand a little!" Master Guan, you have brought me a lot of imperial court newspapers, and I will learn it after reading too much. As for writing, I did learn, my family was born in the dart industry, if you don't know how to be a dart master, hahaha. ”

Su Yu said curiously: "So, you walked through the dart?" Crossing the rivers and lakes? ”

Hanlang has indeed walked through darts, and since he was eight years old, he has accompanied Grandpa to darts all over the world, and it is also Grandpa who wants to let his stupid son have more knowledge, so as not to be deceived in the future. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowu expressed deep sympathy for this humble grandfather, and also sighed at the greatness of his father, nodded and said: "Walk by, follow Grandpa at the age of eight." ”

Guan Xiao praised: "No wonder I see that you are so mature, it turns out that you have long been a ranger." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Zhang Xiaowu smiled shyly.

Su Yu asked, "Is the dart business profitable?" Obviously, he was more interested in making money, but unfortunately his status meant that he could not be a businessman. After all, although the money is good-looking, the status of the businessman is not high, and the dignified Su family can not do a lowly business.

Zhang Xiaowu recalled Hanlang's experience, shook his head and sighed and said: "It's all life money, if you can live easily, who will be a dart master." ”

Guan Xiang said: "Your martial arts are so strong, you must make your martial arts even higher, right?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Xiaowu said, "At the age of twelve, Grandpa is no longer my opponent." ”

Su Yu and Guan Xiang were stunned again, this kid in front of them should be the kind of legendary martial arts wizard who meets once in a hundred years, after all, even killing Tartar King Kong and killing nineteen straw wolves alone is not so easy for Li Cunyi, the first general in the world.

After taking a sip of wine to suppress the shock and calm down his emotions, Su Yu said to Zhang Xiaowu: "I now believe that you are promoted to the rank of military cadet by virtue of your military merits, and you are definitely not a mediocre person like me who relies on family relationships." Zhang Xiaowu wanted to humble himself, but Su Yu stopped him and said: "I, Su Yu, are greedy for money, lustful, greedy for life and afraid of death, and have many shortcomings, and outsiders are often tantamount to me." But I also have my own perseverance, and I admire one kind of person the most, that is, true heroes and heroes. Come, let's drink this cup! ”

Before leaving, Guan Xiang asked for the white wolf skin for Su Yu, but Zhang Xiaowu didn't care, and gave him all the nineteen wolf skins, saying that this thing is useless to me, and you can take it if you like.

Su Guan and the two were overjoyed, and when they returned to the city, they found a craftsman to make these wolf skins. The craftsman was first delighted to make so many wolf skins at once, and then saw that almost all of the wolf skins were spliced together, and it was obvious that the grass wolves were all cut in two with one knife. The craftsman was shocked and couldn't help but ask the origin of the wolfskin. The soldier who sent the wolf skin also admired Zhang Xiaowu very much in his heart, so naturally he did not hide it, and told the craftsman that Zhang Xiaowu had beheaded nineteen straw wolves alone.

The craftsman was also ordered by Emperor Taiqian to immigrate to the border of the Central Plains people, originally a farmer, but after immigrating to Mucheng, he found that there was a lack of water around Mucheng and sandy land outside the city, and it was difficult to live in farming. He heard many neighbors say that this grass wolf easily does not attack humans, and once it attacks, it will not die, and the grass wolf is cunning, but the enemy will lurk for a long time, how can anyone dare to fight the wolf pack alone.

So Zhang Xiaowu was shocked by the fact that he killed nineteen straw wolves alone, and told the story while drinking with his friends. The friend passed it on to others, and somehow reached the ears of a storyteller in the city. The storyteller heard that a warrior had appeared in Mucheng, and he came up with an idea, and after inquiring about it, he adapted Zhang Xiaowu's story to an extremely outrageous one.

The people of Mucheng are mostly worried about the war in the north, and they urgently need a big hero in their hearts to give themselves hope, and the big heroes in their hearts are Li Cunyi, the world's first general, and Gu Yong, the world's first thinker. But these two people stationed on the bank of the Jialan River, like a turtle, the enemy did not move, and I did not move, but they also lost the earth city, which is really not a hero. Now listen to the people who said it, this Zhang Xiaowu was born with a vision, and the martial arts are even more extraordinary, when Tucheng used his own strength to resist millions of dogs, kill the three kings of the grassland, kill the nineteen wolves alone, etc., the people suddenly felt that this is the real hero in our hearts. When other storytellers saw that he told Zhang Xiaowu's story so popularly, they also told it in unison, and under the competition, the more the storyteller told it, the more outrageous it became, and it was like bending a bow to shoot the sun.

All of a sudden, Zhang Xiaowu became the patron saint of Mucheng in the word of mouth of the people of Mucheng, and it was the daughters of the Qinglou prostitution hall who also inquired about the legend of Zhang Xiaowu from the military assistants, and the admiration in their eyes aroused the dissatisfaction of the officers of the Sixth Regiment, and they shouted: "He Zhang Xiaowu is just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old hairy boy, how can it be so magical." ”

It's okay not to say it, it's even more amazing to say it, it turns out that the big hero is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is still such a young general, which suddenly attracted the prostitute girls to say: "If you marry someone, you should marry Zhang Xiaolang, and if you marry a wife, you should marry Miss Ye." "This Miss Ye is the only daughter of Ye Cheng, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and is known as the world's first talented woman, and her poems and books are admitted to Gu Yong, the world's first think tank, and even legend has it that Gu Yong once said to Ye Cheng: "I am willing to exchange my two daughters for one of your daughters!" That Ye Cheng laughed and resolutely refused to change.

Naturally, this saying "marry Zhang Xiaolang when you marry, and marry Miss Ye when you marry a wife" is a bit of a golden move on the faces of the people of Mucheng, and it can also be seen that Zhang Xiaowu has unknowingly become the hope in the hearts of the people.

When Wang Yijin led people into the city to fetch water, he was stopped by the soldiers on duty, and he had to listen to him tell the story of Zhang Xiaowu killing nineteen wolves alone. Wang Yijin is Zhang Xiaowu's personal soldier, and naturally he is praised as the only one in the sky and on the earth, and he can be called the first brave general of the entire Sixth Regiment.

However, the first brave general of the sixth regiment is not something that anyone can be crowned, because the sixth regiment has a self-proclaimed first brave general, Li Cunyuan, the commander of the cavalry battalion.

Two days later, Li Cunyuan, the commander of the cavalry battalion, led a team (about 150 people) cavalry to the outlying village outside the city, and Zhang Xiaowu was practicing swordsmanship at this time.

I saw Zhang Xiaowu shirtless, with sharp edges and corners of his tendons, and his bronzed skin was even more courageous. Eight soldiers smashed poplar blocks at him from all directions, while Zhang Xiaowu held two waist knives and slashed the incoming pieces of wood into the air. For a moment, the sword light and white shadow flashed to dazzle everyone, and then they saw that the wooden blocks on the ground were all cut into two pieces.

Li Cunyuan was shocked, the idea of preparing to fight with him was suppressed, and he said that this kid was quite good at foot fighting, and he should suffer some losses, if he fought with him, it would still be inappropriate.

Guan Xiang, who accompanied him, hurriedly applauded loudly, Zhang Xiaowu turned around and saw Guan Xiang and a military lord, and hurriedly put away his knife Shi Shiran stepped forward to greet him.
