The expressions of several brocade-clothed men who walked into the gate of Keshengju were almost the same, and they all looked at those border soldiers with undisguised contempt. Because of the whim of His Majesty today, these soldiers from poor families forcibly snatched half of the admission quota of the Yanwu Academy from the hands of the children of the family, and the contradiction was unstoppable from the moment this will came down.

Jiangnan Wangjia is one of the most famous families in the world, in the previous dynasty, the Wang family produced seven prime ministers, four princes, dozens of county marquises, and the former dynasty gate valve Wang family was the most. Although the Wang family gradually lost power after the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the heritage of the family for hundreds of years is still not to be underestimated.

In the period of the previous dynasty, the only one who could be compared with the Wang family was the Jiangnan Xie family. The fates of these two famous families are also almost the same, since the Great Sui replaced the previous dynasty, the status of these two families in the court has been declining. Especially in the office of Emperor Yang Yi, none of the officials above the third grade came from these two families. The absence of officials in the DPRK and China is a precursor to the complete decline of this family.

But there is no doubt that at the local level, the Wang family still has unparalleled influence.

Wang Ding is one of the outstanding young people of the Wang family in Chinese and martial arts, his father once made a term of juncheng, but only stayed at the official position of the fourth product, and his father had high hopes for Wang Ding since he was a child in order to revive the Wang family. He did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to teach erudite Confucian professors, and invited everyone who is very famous in martial arts to guide his practice.

Wang Ding also lived up to his father's high expectations, and his fame was broadcast in Jiangnan when he was young. But it is precisely because he became famous at a young age that his temperament is inevitably arrogant and withdrawn.

When he came to the imperial capital this time, he had two things to achieve.

The martial arts academy entered the top three in the examination and married Yang Weixia, the daughter of Yang Kai, the king of Xujun. Although King Xujun did not respond to this marriage, Wang Ding knew that if he wanted to make a steady career in his career, marrying the daughter of King Xujun was undoubtedly a shortcut. The family also attached great importance to this matter, not only invited a very famous old minister in the court to be a matchmaker, but even invited His Majesty the Emperor in a letter.

The arrogant Wang Ding did not have a good impression of these border soldiers gathered in Keshengju. Speaking of which, he deliberately came to see the poor and sour appearance of these border soldiers today. can't afford to eat the wine and food of Keshengju to mix white food, in his opinion, these soldiers are not ashamed to die, it is really unbearable.

The young man from Keshengju was extremely clever, and hurriedly greeted Wang Ding and others to the private room on the second floor. Wang Dingbai glanced at the border soldiers, and said to the young man in a loud voice: "If these meritorious soldiers of the Great Sui are not enough to drink for a while, you can just serve the wine at will, and the money spent will be mine." ”

These words came out of his mouth with an embarrassing meaning.

The young man replied in a low voice, and said in his heart, "Why did you come to make trouble?" These soldiers just drink well, but you come to ridicule and sarcasm, if you really make trouble, we can't bear it.

Mo Xidao's face changed, and he took a step forward with angry eyes. Fang Xie reached out and pulled his sleeve and shook his head slightly. Mo Xidao snorted coldly, sat down on the stool, slapped open the seal of a wine jar, and directly picked it up and poured it into his mouth.

At this time, the last person to come in behind Wang Ding and the others attracted the attention of all the border soldiers.

This man is a burly man, with a beard, large eyes, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a square face, and angry sword eyebrows. What he was wearing was not a brocade robe, but a costume of the Great Sui Border Army.

"It's Wang Wei!"

Zhang Madness whispered in Fang Jie's ear: "The military rate of Baishui City, he is the person of the great general Luo Yao, although he is also from a poor family, but he can finally climb to the back stage!" ”

"Wang Wei, who leads troops to slaughter a few barbarian towns every year?"

Fang Xie couldn't help but ask.

"That's him!"

Zhang Qi snorted coldly and said: "After he arrived in the imperial capital, he never interacted with his brothers from the border army, but hung out with those sons of the family all day long. is really a follower, people use him as a dog, he himself still thinks it's beautiful, and he has lost the face of our border army! Yesterday, I asked a few brothers to invite him, but he said that he was not available, it turned out that he wanted to talk to the people of the Jiangnan Wang family, so he had to come and drink with us. ”

Mo Xidao shook his head and said softly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, don't force it, come...... Let's drink! ”

He lifted the jar again and poured it in half in one go.

"Brother Fang, you really ...... Have you seen enough of Your Majesty? ”

Zhang Crazy changed the topic and asked for a solution.

Fang Xie nodded and said, "I saw it, but I was timid and didn't dare to raise my head, and I don't know what Your Majesty looks like until now." ”

Zhang Mad smiled and said, "If it were me, I would be afraid that I would also crawl on the ground and dare not look up." ”

Mo Xidao didn't answer, just turned his head sideways and looked coldly at Wang Ding and the others who were climbing the stairs. As if sensing his gaze, Wang Ding, who was halfway up the stairs, stopped, glanced over here and snorted, turned around and whispered something to his companion.

Fang Xie pulled Mo Xidao, smiled and said, "Where does Big Brother Mo live?" ”

"Station"

Mo Xidao was silent for a while and replied, "Where can poor sour ghosts like us who have no silver live?" After the Ministry of War reports, those who have no money can apply to live in the post house. Even if it is the imperial court's care for our border army, we also take care of three meals a day, but we will not go hungry. ”

Fang Xie snorted, but his heart couldn't help but move.

When he first reported to the military department, no one told him that he could apply to live in the post station. I'm afraid that the people in the military department were already calculating him at that time, after all, if he lived in the post station, it would be much more difficult to kill him. And if he lives in an inn, it will be much easier to start.

He suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh, laughing that he was really treated well after arriving in the imperial capital.

It seems that the imperial capital city is fair and bright, but it is full of pitfalls for him. If you're not careful, you may get stuck and can't pull it out.

……

……

Wang Ding and the others went up to the second floor and chose a private room facing the street, and after instructing the guys to serve wine and food, Wang Ding waved his hand and said impatiently: "Close the door, I will be upset when I hear the voices of those poor sour ghosts outside." ”

Wang Wei, who was standing on the side and did not sit down, immediately closed the door with a humble attitude.

"Wang Wei, you are different from them."

Wang Ding glanced at him and said with a smile: "Not to mention that you are a person under the command of General Luo of the Left Guard, you should also be a branch of my Wang family." Don't associate with these people in the future, lest you get into a vulgar mess. ”

"What Wang Gongzi said is, I will do it."

Wang Wei leaned forward slightly and said humbly.

"Sit down, sit down"

Wang Ding waved his hand casually and said, "Since I brought you with me, I didn't treat you as an outsider." Today's wine is not without reason, and after a while, General Luo's only son, General Luo Wen, the head of this year's martial arts academy, will come. You are a veteran of General Luo, and you should be closer to General Luo when you see General Luo for a while...... Today's dinner is something I specially invited General Xiao Luo to practice for him. He has been appointed by His Majesty as a general from the fourth rank, and he will leave Beijing in the near future to serve in the Northwest Right Xiao Guard. ”

"Brother Wang is admirable!"

A young man in brocade clothes couldn't help but clap his hands and said: "If you don't say it, who can guess the intention of this wine today, it's not easy to invite Luo Wengongzi, where can someone else have such a big face!" ”

Wang Ding waved his hand and smiled: "Where, my father and General Luo are also old acquaintances, and General Luo and I didn't play together when we were young." I remember that when he was in trouble, I didn't take the blame for him. So if others can't invite him, he still can't give me face. ”

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Wang Wei asked.

"Wang Gongzi, I am the messenger on behalf of others."

The young man at the door lowered his voice and said, "Just now, General Xiao Luo sent someone to say that he couldn't get out of his body because of something important today, and he really couldn't spare time, so please bear with me." ”

This is a polite statement, but it is tantamount to slapping Wang Ding in the mouth.

Wang Ding's face changed, and it was extremely ugly.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Wang Wei hurriedly said: "I think there is something important in the Ministry of War, after all, General Xiao Luo is going to the northwest, and the Ministry of War should have a lot of things to arrange for him......"

"Shut up!"

Wang Ding glared at him, feeling his face hot. It was precisely because of the sense of shame that came out of his heart that he felt more and more hateful to the border troops who were chattering and shouting outside. Thinking of the scar-faced man who looked at him coldly before, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Wang Wei, do you know who is the leader of the border army who is blind in one eye?"

"Yes!"

Wang Wei hurriedly bowed his head and said: "His name is Mo Xidao, and he is a scout team leader in the Phoenix Terrace in Eastern Xinjiang. This person has a good cultivation and has some prestige in the border army. This time the border army gathered in Keshengju, and it was he who arranged it. This person is considered to be the most promising person among the candidates from the military background. Not only is his cultivation profound, but he is also extremely insidious and cunning. ”

"Phoenix Terrace?"

Wang Ding frowned, as if he remembered something: "Is that the one who infiltrated Dongchu to destroy people?" I knew about it, but I didn't remember the man's name. Blind in one eye, it must have been left behind at that time...... If it's really him, it's worth noting. ”

"A straw bale, how can it be compared to Brother Wang!"

The person sitting next to Wang Ding poured him a glass of wine, smiled and said: "Brother Wang is the hot candidate to enter the top three, and it is not Brother Wang's opponent to let those border troops who are inferior to the top three together." ”

"I can't help but be on guard."

Wang Ding thought for a while, looked at Wang Wei and asked, "Do you know anything about this person?" ”

Wang Wei shook his head and said: "I don't understand, but I heard that his cultivation should have exceeded the sixth grade, and there are so many candidates from military background, no one should be able to win him." ”

"This man...... If you can't take the martial arts academy exam...... What's the use of being stronger? ”

"Brother Wang, could it be that he thought of a way to teach this person a lesson?"

"Lessons?"

Wang Ding sneered and said, "That would be so cheap for him...... Wang Wei, if you go down in a while, please don't wash the knife and come up, just say that I offended him with my reckless words just now, and I want to apologize to him! ”

"Huh?"

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

"Why should Brother Wang condescend to be noble?"

Someone immediately persuaded him.

"Haha"

Wang Ding smiled and called Wang Wei over to whisper a few words. After hearing this, Wang Wei's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but take a step back and wave his hand again and again: "Wang Gongzi, this is a sin to be taken to prison!" If you're not careful, even I'll be implicated! It's not appropriate. ”

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Ding waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, as long as you do this well, I will be grateful." Besides, Mo Xidao had an accident and couldn't participate in the exam of the Martial Arts Academy, didn't you also go to the strongest opponent? Without him pressing you, who would have snatched the first position of military candidates from you? ”

Wang Wei was stunned, hesitated for a while and said, "Since Wang Gongzi can afford me, I can't live up to your trust." But...... Since it's going to be shot, don't leave room for it. Several of the people below also have some skills, Anyuan City's border army brigade rate is arrogant, and Fan Gucheng has a scout team deputy Fang Jie, both of these people are opponents, and they have to ...... We did it together! ”

"I really didn't misread you!"

Wang Ding laughed, with a smug face.

……

……

Just when Wang Ding explained what Wang Wei was doing, the person sitting in the private room next to them frowned slightly. Although Wang Ding's voice was extremely low when he told Wang Wei how to calculate Mo Xidao and the others, how could his cultivation not be able to hear clearly. Seeing his unhappy face, the young man sitting across from him felt a pang in his heart.

"Commanding Envoy...... I don't dare to make my own decisions about what you ask me to do, do you allow me to make a decision after telling my father? ”

In the Great Sui, there are few people who are called commanders.

This face is a little gloomy, it is Hou Wenji, the envoy of the Qing Ya. And sitting opposite him was Rowan, whose already nervous hands were trembling slightly.

Hou Wenji ignored Luo Wen's words in an almost pleading tone, but pointed outside and whispered: "Let Liu Qianhu bring a group of guards over, just wait outside, don't approach, there will be no big mess for a while." ”

"Whoa!"

His cronies, the Flying Fish Robe, immediately answered and turned to go out.

"General Xiao Luo, what did you just say? I'm sorry, but I was distracted for a while, you say it again? ”

I said...... I don't dare to make decisions about this. ”

Rowan replied apprehensively.

"It doesn't matter"

Hou Wenji waved his hand and said with a gentle smile: "I'm not in a hurry, even if I wait for three or five years, it doesn't matter." You know that the rice paper of our Dasui Songmo Zhai is excellent, and it will not be broken if it is stored for decades or even a hundred years. You're young, and I'm not old...... So, there's no hurry. ”

He looked at the confession on the table and smiled.
