Chapter 7 assesses conscience
The warm morning breeze blows the cheerful singing, and the streets of Chang'an emerge with a prosperous and busy scene.
Lin Maolin walked out of the door, came to 203, knocked on the door hard, and after a while, Lin Maolin asked, "Won't you have woken up yet?" ”
Immediately a voice came from inside and said, "Awake, you wait." ”
The voice, with its gentle and touching melody, receded the slowness of the morning, leaving a fresh and refreshing echo of wandering in the corridor.
For this young girl, Lin Maolin was really powerless, so he could only wait alone in the corridor and at the door of 203.
With a "squeak", the door was opened, and the woman in front of her was no longer sloppy before, and walked out in a brisk and beautiful woman with some cute and small clothes.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's okay," Lin Maolin waved his hand and followed Zhao Wei into the door.
"You sit here, there's dry food ready here."
The moment Lin Maolin entered the room, he was greeted by the appearance of a girl's boudoir, with a purple sand tent, a glass bed, and a green table lamp; Next to the glass lamp are some grass and flower beds, giving people a tender watery charm.
If it weren't for the fact that my younger brother was still young, it is estimated that such a big beauty and any man in this almost emotional room would not be able to resist such a temptation.
"Is the little brother still sleeping?"
Lin Maolin looked at his sleeping little brother and sneered.
"Yes, I used to be hungry and tired with my sister, but now it's the first time to enjoy such a comfortable and luxurious room and delicious food. I'm sorry to eat you, but I don't even know your name. ”
Lin Maolin laughed and said, "My name is Lin Maolin, you are younger than me, just call me Brother Lin, Sister Zhao." ”
Lin Maolin was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he looked up at Zhao Wei.
I saw Zhao Wei smile slightly: "Okay, Brother Lin." ”
Lin Maolin stood up and glanced at Zhao Wei and said, "Now I have something to deal with, you and your little brother stay here first, and then come back to you when I finish my business." ”
Lin Maolin turned around and just came to the door, and Zhao Wei slowly followed.
"I want to go with you too."
Zhao Wei said tremblingly.
Lin Maolin said: "You don't know what I'm going to do, aren't you afraid of being bored if you go with me?" It's better to stay in the inn and recuperate, you see that the collarbones are out. ”
Lin Maolin pointed to the place above Zhao Wei's chest and said.
Lin Maolin really can't bear to watch this young sister and brother wander the streets, living a life without clothes and food, and now he just wants to take care of them, which can be regarded as a good fate of his own. ”
"No, it's okay for me, just let me go, I can show you the way."
Lin Maolin was still very comfortable when he heard this, after all, Chang'an ten years later is no longer what it was back then, it is more prosperous, and the streets seem to have a lot of modern urban feelings.
"Okay, you just let me go"
Lin Maolin said, a waiter came in front of him, Lin Maolin called the waiter and said, "There is a child sleeping in room 203, please take care of it." ”
After Lin Maolin finished speaking, he took out a penny copper plate from his trouser pocket and handed it to the waiter.
"Thank you, sir, you can rest assured here, promise to complete the task, and do not drag your retreat."
Lin Maolin took Zhao Wei downstairs. "Shopkeeper, 203's dessert food is a little bit troublesome."
"Okay, guest officer, we'll arrange it."
After everything was arranged, Lin Maolin took Zhao Wei to walk on the street, everyone looked sideways, a young man in strange clothes and a young and beautiful woman in fresh clothes walked one after the other, this is a very novel thing in this city on time, the usual rich and noble people go out with a few bodyguards, and these two people are obviously different, but they don't want to be famous here.
"Do you want to buy a rose for your girlfriend?"
A sharp-eyed vendor said.
Lin Maolin waved his hand and said, "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend, so I don't need your roses." ”
After speaking, Lin Maolin asked Zhao Wei: "I don't know where the Imperial City Recruitment Office is?" ”
Zhao Wei said with great interest when she heard this: "The military recruitment office of Chang'an City is located at the gate of the city, and this is the center of the city, so you can't find it here." ”
After Zhao Wei finished speaking, the vendor said politely to the two of them before Lin Maolin could speak: "Your Excellency was originally going to be conscripted into the army, this is easy to do, as long as you need it, I have a place for you here at any time, and the price is cheap." ”
The vendor gave Lin Maolin a look directly, only to see Zhao Wei say angrily: "Who do you see the old lady?" Zhao Si, if you come out again to cheat and deceive me, Zhao Wei will not spare you. ”
When the vendor heard that this was Zhao Wei, he looked surprised, it turned out to be Zhao Dada, sorry, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai. ”
After saying that, the vendor left in disgrace.
"Let's go to the Imperial City to apply for the assessment, he's just a gangster, not worth our attention, and he doesn't have any skills, just specializing in some dirty things like stealing chickens and dogs, and cheating."
Zhao Wei explained to Lin Maolin. Then the two of them went in the direction of the city gate.
And the small trader Zhao Si was secretly hooking up with a group of people, as if he was talking about something unspeakable.
After Lin Maolin and the others saw the military flag and the imperial list, Lin Maolin tried to walk over, but was blocked by a group of people in front of him, and at this time, the city gate was already full of people, a large group of young people waiting in line to enlist in the army, Lin Maolin saw a few young men walking out from time to time.
"This year's emperor list may not be easy to accept, you see this crowd of people, it seems that there is little hope of winning, I hope this time the emperor list can elect a capable person, and lead us to get a little fame."
The two middle-aged men who came out, led by a medium stature, hid an unknown power under their neither thin nor fat figures.
Lin Maolin stopped the two: "Brother, what is the main assessment for this enlistment?" I saw that my brother was extraordinary, and I especially wanted to get acquainted, if you don't mind, we can be that friends, and we can take care of each other on the battlefield. ”
The two of them glanced at Lin Maolin, and the person led by him said, "Okay, I think you don't want to drink two cups if you fall in love?" ”
Lin Maolin said: "Brother, look at me, I have already ranked behind these 100 people before the interview, how can I drink with you now." ”
The brother looked at Lin Maolin and said with a laugh: "Brother, come with me, I have passed the interview today, and you don't have to line up with your mother, I will take you into the special assessment area, which is commonly known as the green channel." ”。
"Brother, what do you call it, my name is Wu Dier, the one next to me is called Li Dan, the two of us have played together since childhood, and we have also suffered together, so you saw the two of us coming together to enlist in the army, and I am very happy to meet you. This is my sister-in-law behind me, and she looks good-looking. ”
Wu Dier introduced himself while making fun of these two people, who were humorous and generous.
"My name is Lin Maolin, I heard that the Beidi Army was barbaric and violent in the countryside, which only made the people of the Central Plains complain and suffer, as an aspiring young man, he should serve the motherland, and his blood should flow in his homeland."
When Lin Maolin spoke, he showed Beidi's arrogance to the fullest, and his blood was only for the feelings of the country.
"Brother, it's right to mix with you, looking at your outfit and this deep internal strength, I, Wu Dier, am ashamed."
At that moment, Wu Dier withdrew his slightly trembling hands, and Lin Maolin said casually: "Brother's skills are not bad, but there is some messiness and fatigue in recent days, if brother is corrected, with a good schedule, I must not be my brother's opponent." ”
At this time, Wu Dier showed joy, don't you know how many catties and taels she has? For this step given by Lin Maolin, he is still very happy to accept it.
"What do you mean by daring to ask my brother, do you have a way to get me to the next level?"
Wu Dier said with some excitement.
Lin Maolin looked at him and nodded slightly: "There is a small restaurant under the Changkai Inn tonight, we can talk while drinking." ”
After speaking, the two came to the interviewer in line with a few people through the green channel.
The interviewer looked at Lin Mao's resume and said, "Your household registration is in Chang'an, so can anyone in your family serve as an official in the imperial court?" ”
Lin Maolin said: "No. ”
After asking about some red tape such as family background, the interviewer said, "What are your strengths, and how big is your vision to be?" ”
Lin Maolin said: "The emperor is the champion of martial arts, and Luoyang wins the championship. ”
The interviewer's eyes lit up: "So you must have some kind of special ability." Show it to us. ”
I saw the dozens of interviewers sitting side by side, Lin Maolin took a long gun, the spear was waved in Lin Maolin's hand like a phantom, the gun was thunderous, the gun was like flowing water, the wind and sand were teasing by the silver gun, the dust was rolling, and the air was running through the sky.
"You guys are on"
I saw an interviewer pointing to a row of guards next to him and said.
I saw more than a dozen guards surround Lin Maolin fiercely, and the guard knife in his hand was dazzling in the sunlight.
Lin Maolin stood motionless.
"You're on it together"
When everyone heard Lin Maolin's big tone, they were also aroused into the anger of the battle.
A relatively young man pulled out a nine-ring silver-handled guard knife and slashed directly at Lin Maolin, only to see Lin Maolin gently pick up the spear in his hand, and the man lost the knife, and his hands kept shaking.
Since childhood, he has followed his master to practice in the paradise of disarming, and the weapon given to him by the master also has the same ability.
"Where is Brother Lin from, why is he so powerful."
Wu Dier looked at Zhao Wei and said softly.
Zhao Wei said with a straight face: "Brother Lin is a good person, he has never heard him anywhere, but it can be seen that he has a different feeling for Chang'an City." ”
Wu Dier laughed and said: "I handed over this brother, you can find me for anything in the future." ”
I saw Wu Dier hand out a token, and the token said "Imperial City Warrior Wu Dier"
Zhao Wei was taken aback, "It turns out that you are the emperor's person, and you are guilty." ”
Zhao Wei originally wanted to bow, but Wu Dier stopped Zhao Wei and said: "Sister-in-law is polite, there's no need, this is not an official mansion, if you don't dislike it, when I and my eldest brother are together, we will be a family." ”
Zhao Wei's face was already slightly flushed.
"A family...."
"Brothers, let's go together."
A soldier with a second-rank guard badge said.
The others were all first-class guards, of course the orders of the superiors had to be obeyed, and all the knives in between were attacking Lin Maolin, looking at the flying knives, Lin Maolin took a stride, his body rose into the air, and he dodged the attack of the machete. said that it was too late and that was fast, when Lin Maolin jumped up, the guards instantly withdrew the steel knife in their hands, and then changed the lineup, and the guards wanted to empty the formation, only to see the four guards rise into the air, and the knives in their hands attacked Lin Maolin in four directions.
Lin Maolin used his extremely fast hand speed to play a silver spear into the phantom of four silver spears, this is the chain array of guards, if you are tied up by these four guards, then no matter how much you have the ability to reach the sky, you will not be able to escape.
"Ahh
I saw four guards fly out, and the soldiers with swords below also turned into black shadows in an instant under the spears.
"Awesome, it's worthy of the people brought by Wu Dier, skip the grade directly, you can come directly to the imperial court conference in half a month, we will have someone to go to the Changkai Inn to contact you, and the specific matters will be told to you after we discuss them in detail, the specific time is within half a month."
It was a richly dressed but simple middle-aged man who spoke.
Looking at the person's appearance, he should be a big official, how could he come here, it seems to be some kind of coincidence.
Lin Maolin didn't think much about it, but just said, "Thank you." ”
The middle-aged man stood up and handed Lin Maolin a token: "This is the conscription promotion order, you take him, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you will be regarded as a soldier in the future, and the living expenses for this half month will be paid by the barracks." ”
Lin Maolin took the token and said, "Thank you, Beidi, I will do my best." ”
After Lin Maolin left, the middle-aged man said: "Take good care of this brother for me, if there is a chance, I don't mind recruiting him to the mansion, so that we will have another powerful combat power." ”
The other interviewers said in unison: "Yes, I wish you more talented people." ”
And in a corner in the distance, there was a group of people waiting to hide there and watchman, and they were talking about it, as if they had some ulterior but insidious plan.
As soon as Lin Maolin came over, Zhao Wei and Wu Dier greeted him.
"Are you okay, you scared me half to death just now, but fortunately it's safe, show me where I'm hurt?"
Lin Maolin couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Zhao Wei's flustered expression: "Look at your guts, why are you messing with me?" ”
Wu Dier also sneered and said, "Sister-in-law..."
Before Wu Dier could finish speaking, Lin Maolin interrupted him.
"Brother, don't misunderstand other people's girls, how can you marry others in the future? Quickly retract what you just said. ”
Lin Maolin scolded angrily.
"Hahaha, brother, I was wrong, I punished myself with three cups tonight, the little girl has a lot, and the right is the little brother's mistake."
Zhao Wei hurriedly said: "How can Brother Wu say this, the little sister doesn't dare to be, what's wrong with it, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return." ”
Just as they were about to leave, a big man caught everyone's attention.
I saw the sand and dust rolling in the distance, and all of a sudden, dozens of people were beaten on their backs, and they fell straight to the sand, and they were in a faint pain.
"You've been admitted."
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the middle-aged man handed Dahan a token.
Dahan was about to leave after taking the token, but there were more than a dozen people behind him, and these dozen people all had strange abilities, and the aura on their bodies exuded an invisible oppressive force, Lin Maolin and Wu Dier were aware of this group.
When Dahan left, Lin Maolin and Wu Dier followed, leaving Zhao Wei to return to the inn with Lin Maolin's token.
