Text Chapter 371 Selection of Guards (3)

Jiang Anyi's study is in the east wing, and the two houses are connected, the outer room is the study room, and the inner room is the bedroom. Not long after Jiang Anyi came to Huazhou, there were not many furnishings in the study, and there was "Yunshuitan Words" written by Fan Shi on the table, which Jiang Anyi brought from the capital. When I read "Yunshuitan Words" with a utilitarian heart, I didn't understand many of the subtle words in Mr.'s book, Jiang Anyi was very free in Fuluo County, and re-read this book, only to find that I was shallow at the beginning, and I didn't read too many things. There is a word hanging on the wall, the "Burrow Inscription" written by Master Yu, and the bookcase is placed with a set of "Nanshan Lectures", which is written by Mr. Ruyu of Wei Dynasty, when Jiang Anyi did not finish reading it in Zechang Academy, he bought a set in the bookstore to carry with him, and the table was stacked with the "Huazhou Geographical Chronicles" borrowed from the government, and the whole study room seemed very empty.

Xinfei loves incense, and the agarwood she chooses is the best agarwood incense, and after living in the mansion, Xinfei also put a Boshan stove on the table in the study where Jiang Anyi often stays. Agarwood incense exudes a simple and distant fragrance in the furnace, wafting in the air to make people feel that their hearts are as calm as water and their hearts are as calm as stones.

"Sinking water and good materials to eat Baizhen, Boshan furnace to warm Yulou spring", Jiang Anyi read the poems of the hermit Luo Fei in the previous dynasty, sat in the chair and drank tea alone, his mind was outside the object, and he was leisurely and fun.

"Brother", Jiang Anyong poked his head out of the door, just now Siyu squeezed Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyong was a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that his brother would be angry, and the stone leaned out from the corner of the window and peeked into the house carefully.

The Zen realm that had been created with great difficulty was completely destroyed by these two boys, and Jiang Anyi shouted angrily: "What are you looking at with a grimace, don't let me come in." ”

Seeing that his brother was not really angry, An Yong put his mind at ease and walked in with a smile on his face, still holding his precious wine gourd in his left hand and three wine cups in his right hand. The stone carried a few oil-paper bags in his hand, and he could smell the aroma of barbecue from afar.

Jiang Anyi moved the book on the table, the stone opened the oil paper in his hand, revealing the roast lamb shank, beef jerky, sheep face and beef liver inside, Jiang Anyong put the wine cup, poured three glasses of wine, and said, "Brother, you are not angry with Siyu." ”

"Sister Siyu is this temper, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she refuses to admit defeat on the surface." The stone helped the cavity on the side.

Jiang Anyi couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of Siyu, this little girl has always regarded herself as the matchmaker between herself and Xinfei, thinking that Xinfei was able to marry her because she helped a lot, especially when Jiang Anyi went to Manchun Courtyard and was captured by her, Siyu felt that Jiang Anyi was sorry for her senior sister when she went to that kind of dirty place, and she didn't have a good face for Jiang Anyi. Later, Jiang Anyi married Dong'er first, Siyu was upset for her senior sister, and she looked at Jiang Anyi more and more unpleasantly, and always had to sneer at Jiang Anyi.

Jiang Anyi proposed marriage for his younger brother, and the small fortune myth Siyu "extorted" ten gems as a dowry. After marrying An Yong, it is said that Siyu should change his name to Jiang Anyi's "big brother", but this girl has always called him "brother-in-law", obviously because the old "hatred" has not disappeared.

"Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as her." Jiang Anyi picked up the wine glass and drank it all a little depressed. In the face of fine wine, Jiang Anyong and Shi were unwilling to be left behind, and immediately drank the cup in front of the door.

"Brother, do you really have a way to select elite soldiers tomorrow? Do you want me to tell you? Jiang Anyong was obviously a little uneasy about his brother's arrogance, if he messed up tomorrow, Siyu would definitely have to sneer again, he was caught in the middle, and he was in a dilemma.

Jiang Anyi put a piece of beef in his mouth, glared at his younger brother, and said, "What, when did your brother brag?" ”

With a strong self-confidence in his words, Jiang Anyong smiled happily, from rope hunting to making bamboo fans, making crispy white bi, brewing knives, and making perfumes, the family went from being poor to being rich, from studying hard under the oil lamp to sitting on the side of the town, and his brother set up an omnipotent image for him step by step. Since his brother said that he could select elite soldiers, Jiang Anyong put down his mind and didn't think about it anymore, picked up the wine gourd and poured it full of wine again, and the three of them drank until the second watch, and only then dispersed happily after the wine was dried and the dishes were exhausted.

In the bedroom, Siyu muttered to Xin Fei: "Senior sister, brother-in-law is drinking with An Yong and Shi Shi in the study, do you think they can discuss any way to come?" ”

Xin Fei glanced at Siyu and said with a smile: "What, I'm afraid of losing?" ”

"Hey, I won't lose, as long as you don't help your brother-in-law, what can the three of them come up with." Siyu cheered himself up, and after a while, he was a little discouraged, and said: "Brother-in-law has a lot of ideas, maybe he can really figure out what tricks he can do." ”

Xin Fei fanned out the candle with one palm and said, "Go to bed early, you'll know tomorrow." ”

The next day, everyone got up early in the morning, the barracks were inconvenient for women to enter and exit, Xinfei and Siyu both changed into men's clothes, and the five of them rode on horses and ran to the barracks outside the city.

Jiang Anyi changed into a cyan power suit today, carrying his moon-killing long knife behind his back, a star-shooting bow on his back, a quiver hanging from his waist, and twenty armor-piercing arrows. Jiang Anyong was dressed in iron armor, holding a silver spear in his hand, and straddled the red sandalwood bow diagonally, looking handsome and mighty. Shi was also wearing iron armor, carrying a spear, hanging a bow and arrow from his waist, Xin Fei and Siyu were in black power suits, with a sword hanging from his waist, dressed as Jiang Anyi's guard.

When they came to the barracks, it was time to shout and cheer in the barracks, and the soldiers were practicing on the school grounds. Mei Hongmin got the report, sent a personal soldier to lead the way, and led the five people all the way to a high platform. Flags were planted all over the high platform, and Mei Hongmin, dressed in military uniform, watched the drills of the soldiers on the school field surrounded by several generals. The dust and smoke rose on the school military field, countless soldiers and horses were interspersed with the advance and retreat of the flags waving on the high platform, the dust reflected the cold light of the swords and guns, and a bad aura rose to the sky, and the neat shouts and cheers startled the white clouds in the air to scatter.

When Jiang Anyi and others arrived, Mei Hongmin ignored them, Jiang Anyong and Shi clasped their fists and saluted, signaling Jiang Anyi to stand by silently. The drill lasted for half an hour, and there was a sound of golden drums and neat footsteps, and after a while, the soldiers on the school military field were neatly lined up like knives and axes. 10,000 horses stood silently, the military appearance was neat and mighty, the wind blew the flag, and occasionally a horse neighing sounded, which became more and more solemn.

Mei Hongmin turned his head to the side and smiled at Jiang Anyi beside him: "Lord Jiang, what do you think of my sons?" ”

"Yes, it is indeed a mighty and majestic army." Jiang Anyi praised.

"I heard Jiang Anyong say that you are not satisfied with the five hundred people under his command, so you have to choose them yourself, and now that the 10,000 soldiers and horses of my department are here, I want to see how the adults choose them." Mei Hongmin unabashedly disdainful of him.

The generals beside him also sneered, and one of them said, "Lord Jiang, the sons and daughters haven't had breakfast yet, please pick them up early, and everyone will have a good meal after picking them." Adults are rich, probably not to eat the coarse tea and light rice of the military camp, and please take your guards back to Huiye Mansion to eat fragrant and spicy food. ”

Jiang Anyi only took the wind in his ears, and raised his breath and said loudly: "This official Huazhou assassin Jiang Anyi, selected three hundred personal guards by holy order, just now General Mei and all the generals said that you are all elite, then this official will come up with a question to test you, and those who can pass are eligible to be selected as personal guards, please leave the soldiers who are willing to participate in the selection." ”

The tall man sneered again: "Lord Jiang, I'm afraid that 8,000 out of 10,000 people have passed your selection, so how can the adults be selected." ”

Jiang Anyi was secretly angry, but said with a smile on his face: "This general's noble surname, if you think it's easy, you might as well try it too." ”

"The general's surname is Jiang, he is a guerrilla general in the army (from the fifth grade), General Mei is not allowed to go out to run for election under the eighth grade, otherwise the general wants to try it and see how difficult it is for the selection of Lord Jiang." Jiang Gao replied indifferently.

More than 6,000 people were left under the school grounds, and Jiang Anyi's salary was full of attraction to the vast majority of people. Jiang Anyi said loudly again: "Five miles south of the school field is Shitang Mountain, there is a seven-leaf forest on the mountain, please participate in the selection of wearing armor, carrying spears, waist hanging bows and arrows to run to the seven-leaf forest to pick up a leaf, and arrive at the school field within two quarters of an hour to be qualified." ”

As soon as Jiang Anyi's words fell, there was an uproar on the school ground. The standard leather armor of the Dazheng officers and soldiers weighs about 20 catties, and the spears used by ordinary soldiers are wooden handles and iron spear heads, which weigh about five catties, and the back bow and arrows are almost five catties, and there are 30 catties on this body. Carrying a weight of thirty pounds and running ten miles in two quarters of an hour is a test for most people, and this test is only the qualification for selection.

Seeing the chaotic discussions on the school field, Mei Hongmin was angry and shouted: "What are you arguing about, if you can't do it, you will quit by yourself, so as not to lose Lao Tzu's face." ”

Immediately, most of the people on the school grounds retreated, and less than 2,000 people were still standing in the school grounds. Mei Hongmin said with a blushing face: "Lord Jiang, you have a good topic, Mei's subordinates are all wine bags and rice bags, I'm afraid I can't be the adult's personal guard." ”
