Chapter 383 The big man is coming

The dog who was sentenced by Su Tong to talk to his heart, when he returned to the academy, he was really tireless, obedient and good, reading and memorizing texts, and practicing calligraphy and never slackening.

The motivation to study hard is very appreciated by the master who teaches the class, and the dog's schoolwork is also good, so the original matter of only selecting five students to go to the Xue Academy to compete was changed to six under the decision of Master Jin.

These six people are divided into small, medium and large tests according to the progress of their coursework.

This kind of competition is like the joint examination held in later generations, and several nearby colleges are combined to select some students with outstanding academic performance in their own colleges to compete.

One is to allow students from several colleges to learn from each other, and the other is to make a name for the college and make a name for the students.

After all, when the fame is great, there will be corresponding support in the yamen, and this kind of small-scale competition, except for the year of the imperial examination, will be held on a large scale almost every two or three months, and the location is generally selected in the academy where the best results were achieved last time.

In the past, although Luyuan Academy couldn't win every time, it had at least five or six wins, but in the last ten years, especially after 12 years in Shaoxing, it has won at most one or two victories, so I had to be fortunate to carry my bags and hurry to the academy.

Being able to participate in the competition shows that your coursework and ranking in this college are good, so when the dog hears his name, he grins excitedly.

It's not because he likes to be funny, but because the corner of his mouth was punched by a little fat man who was jealous of him.

Just when the dog painted a black face on the little fat man's face, the tiptoeing door ran into the school house, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Xiao Langjun, someone is looking for you outside!" ”

The dog was admiring his masterpiece, and when he had the heart to go out, he said, "Tell the two of them that it's okay to play on the street, don't bother me!" ”

"It's not Tang Xiaoer and the others, it's another group of people, I look at it like a man from the army!"

"A man in the army?" The dog glared at him suspiciously.

"Yes, I think the dress seems to be a brother of the Western Army!" Menzi said with a serious face.

"Western Army? Could it be that someone sent by the marshal is here? Thinking of this, the dog couldn't care about the fight, and deftly jumped down from the little fat man, and with his angry roar, he hurried out of the door.

They came, it means that the errand on their backs is finally going to be handed over, although there is no cash of 100,000 yuan, but the way to make money has been found by themselves, and over time, they are not old or young, and they can't say that it is more than 100,000 yuan.

So the dog has some expectations, after all, after completing the task, this Wu Dashuai has to reward himself with something! For example, silver? Or a valuable baby.

The more I think about it, the more excited I become, and I don't know who is coming this time? If the relationship is good, I can't say that I can ask for more benefits.

With a creak, the door opened, and the dog ran out excitedly.

Under the big willow tree in the distance, there were more than a dozen people standing, all wearing armor, carrying knives at their waists, and carrying bows and arrows behind them, looking at themselves with a smile.

"Brother Wu Yong! Why are you here! ”

The dog ran over in three steps and two steps, and laughed as he ran: "I haven't seen you for many days, I really want to mess with my little brother!" ”

Wu Yong saw the playfulness of what the dog said, his face was also happy, and he clasped his fists with both hands and said: "I said puppy, my brother came to your territory on a trek through mountains and rivers, and you have to greet us tonight!" ”

"No problem, brother!"

The dog also arched his hand from afar and said, "Don't wait until tonight, let's go to the restaurant in front of us to eat and drink now!" ”

"That's not going to happen!" Wu Yong smiled and waved his hand: "My young master is not hungry yet, and he can't eat much at this time!" ”

"Your young master?" The dog fox looked at him suspiciously and said, "You mean Zhonglie?" ”

"yes!" Wu Yong smiled and said, "Don't you want to see him?" ”

"Cut" The dog carefully moved out a few steps and said: "I don't want to see that kid!" ”

As soon as the dog's voice fell, a bright light flew towards the dog's head.

"Die! Zhao Dagou! ”

Although the dog had been prepared, he really didn't expect the danger to come from above his head, and he was caught off guard, and was stabbed in the head by a sharp willow leaf flying knife, and lay on the ground with blood spraying from his mouth, and sighed unwillingly to the sky: "This book is over!" ”

"Get up! Mo pretended to be dead on the ground, just a handful of willow leaves, as for rolling his eyes? ”

Wu Ting, who was wearing a small leather armor and a flower pom-pom on his head, squatted on the ground and shouted impatiently at the dog-like dog.

The dog shook his head, covered the corners of his mouth and said, "Of course the leaves are fine, but the fist accidentally hit the corner of my mouth, you see, they are all bruised and swollen!" ”

The dog pointed his finger at the corner of his mouth and pointed at him with all his might.

"Nonsense!"

Wu Ting roared angrily: "You don't want to blackmail me, you already had a wound on the corner of your mouth when you came, and I could see it clearly in the tree." ”

"Okay, okay!"

The dog got up from the ground, slapped his clothes and said perfunctorily: "If you don't have any money, forget it, find any reason!" ”

This made Wu Ting angry, and he tore off the money bag hanging from his waist, and showed it to the dog: "Look, my father gave me fifty taels of silver when I came!" I don't have any money anywhere! ”

The dog glanced at the money bag and snorted, "Only fifty taels? This is Longzhou, which is much more prosperous than the Chuzhou where your family lives, and fifty taels is not enough to eat even a meal of mutton! ”

"You're lying to me again!" Wu Ting pointed to the dog's nose and said, "I'm not a stupid guy who doesn't know anything!" Fifty taels of silver can't afford to eat a meal of mutton, I don't believe it! ”

"You don't believe me?" The dog questioned him loudly.

"Yes! I don't believe it, fifty taels of silver is enough for us to eat for several miles! Even in Lin'an, you have to eat five or six times. ”

The dog said with a smile: "I said a long time ago, the price here in Longzhou is very expensive, I don't believe you just try it!" ”

"Try it!" Wu Ting, who was not convinced, replied not to be outdone.

"Good! Then let's try it! The dog shouted.

"Okay, let's try, what if you lose!"

The dog didn't even think about it: "I'll kowtow to you!" ”

"Okay! That's it! Wu Ting shouted excitedly.

"So where are we going to try?"

The dog raised his arm and pointed to the restaurant in front of him and said, "There's one ahead!" ”

"Okay, let's go!"

After saying a word, Wu Ting beckoned everyone to stride towards the wine store.

The guard who was following behind glanced at the young master who was hooking up with the dog in front of him, and rubbed in front of Wu Yong and whispered: "Boss, do you want to remind the young master?" ”

Wu Yong glanced at the two people who were laughing, and turned around and said, "Don't you know when you are a young master!" ”

The guard gave his hand and apologized, and retreated with his waist knife on his shoulder.

"Zhong Lie, I really didn't expect you to come? Your father is willing to let you come! ”

Wu Ting sighed and said, "It's not because of you!" ”

"Because of me?"

Wu Ting nodded, and the dog laughed.

"Didn't the marshal send you to invite me back to be a military advisor?"

Wu Ting rolled his eyes and said, "What you think is beautiful!" Return the military division! You can't even read half of the array diagram, so I'm embarrassed to say! ”

"And what are you doing here?" The dog pouted.

"It's for your business!"

"Business?" The dog covered his mouth and snorted, "Just you? ”

"What's wrong with me! Don't underestimate me! I've been in business too! ”

Looking at his straightforward explanation, the dog was also rarely affirmed:

"Hmmm! You're definitely selling a lot of business! ”

"That's it!" Wu Ting laughed.

As a result, the laughter was not over, and the dog said lightly: "There is a lot of compensation." ”

"I'll beat you to death!"

Wu Ting angrily chased after the dog that ran away.

In the Zhizhou Hall of Longzhou, the good old man Lu Zhizhou and the big fat man Su Tongju respectfully said to a purple-robed old man with a white beard on the main seat: "Senator Wu, I didn't expect you to come!" ”

Senator Wu glanced at Lu Zhizhou, who was speaking, and smiled: "What, I'm not welcome to come?" ”

"Where, where! My subordinates are just a little happy, and I haven't seen you again in many years since we last saw you! ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhizhou walked to the door, took the saucer in the maid's hand, turned around and returned to him, and served it to him.

Senator Wu took the tea bowl, said politely, let him sit down, lifted the tea lid and took a sip, praised it, put the tea bowl aside, turned his head to the restrained Su Fat and said:

"Su Tong sentence!"

Su Fatzi shook nervously, raised his hand and clenched his fist and said, "In front of Senator Wu, where do the lower officials dare to respond." ”

"Hey, isn't that polite! Why do many people say that you are unreasonable? ”

"Senator, this is all nonsense they said, I have always been very polite, I don't believe you ask Lu Zhizhou!"

Lu Zhizhou, who was on the side, hurriedly testified to him: "Senator, Su Tong's sentence in Longzhou has helped me a lot!" I'm usually busy with a lot of work. ”

"Alright, alright!" Senator Lu waved his hand and said, "Don't cover for him!" I don't know him yet! ”

After speaking, Senator Lu glanced at the two of them: "This time I came to Longzhou, in addition to taking care of a few businesses of the Western Army, there is another thing to trouble the two of you!" ”

Lu Zhizhou and Su Fatzi hurriedly got up and hugged their fists and said, "Please ask the senator to order!" ”

Senator Lu waved his hand to let the two of them sit down and said: "This year's war has caused damage to all the armies under my Western Army, especially the Qingchuan Army stationed in Shiquan Army, and half of his troops have been lost. ”

The full name of Lu Zhizhou's official position is "Quanzhi Longzhou Military State Affairs", referred to as Zhizhou.

"Quanzhi" means to be temporarily in charge, and "army" refers to the army of the place, and "state" refers to civil affairs, so the civil affairs and military affairs of a state are under its control.

Therefore, the matter of recruiting soldiers that Senator Lu just mentioned is his main business.

"Back to the Senate, didn't the Jin people withdraw their troops? Why are you still recruiting soldiers? ”

Senator Lu took a sip of tea, sighed and said: "Where is the Jin people's faith, his heart to kill my Great Song Dynasty has never been extinguished, so our Lizhou, as the barrier of Shuchuan, can not relax our vigilance, lest there be another incident of three thousand golden cavalry raiding Shiquan County, so that the marshal let the states and counties train the soldiers and horses, so as not to have no soldiers to adjust, or do not know the trumpet and drum, and will not go into battle!" The mud can't hold up the wall! ”

"It's the Senate! Subordinate Order! ”
