Chapter 36: Barracks Competition

The barracks of the Holy Protector Army were not far from the palace Ouchi, and Li Yue, who had half a cup of tea, had arrived, and it had not yet nightfall. He went straight to the camp of Li Yunlie, the former battalion commander of the Left Army of the Protector Saint, and then showed the order of the Privy Council:

"Dispatch the personnel of the two schools to escort the silver ship of Daliang Bank to Yangzhou and Jiankang."

The generals of the Great Liang only have the right to command the troops, and the right to transfer troops belongs to the Privy Council. Li Yunlie saw that Li Yue had an order from the Privy Council, so he readily agreed: "Then let the two lieutenants Wang and Du be in charge of this matter!" ”

"These two boys have become captains?" The speed of Wang Teng and Du Sanjin's promotion surprised Li Yue.

"There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals!" Li Yunlie said arrogantly: "These two subordinates of your Lord Li are rare talents!" ”

Strongman? Li Yue couldn't help but smile in his heart, how many years have Lao Tzu been under your hands, and I haven't seen you promote me as a strong general.

Li Yue was named the courtier, and after becoming a celebrity around the emperor, it was not his turn to be promoted by Li Yunlie. But this guy actually promoted the two cronies when Li Yue was the flag leader to lieutenants.

Although the other party's approach was a bit snobbish, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Li Yue bowed his hand and said in a friendly manner: "Li Tong has won the award!" ”

Li Yunlie shouted outside the tent: "Someone! Go and invite Wang and Du to the two captains! ”

A burly sergeant responded and said, "Report to Commander Li, the two captains are competing in the school field!" ”

"Then I'll go find them on campus!" Li Yue has been away from the army for a long time, and he misses his life in the camp very much, so he has the idea of watching them compete.

Li Yunlie instructed the sergeant: "Then you take Master Li forward!" ”

"No need! I'm an acquaintance at this point! After Li Yue finished speaking, he strode out of the account.

"Sure enough, it's my Protector! As an official, this temperament is still in full swing. Li Yunlie said with a beard.

When Li Yue arrived at the school ground, he found that hundreds of soldiers had surrounded the center of the school field, three layers inside and three layers outside, and bursts of cheers were heard from time to time.

Fortunately, he was familiar with him and was wearing a seven-grade official uniform, and all the sergeants who knew and didn't know Li Yue gave way when they saw him coming, and Li Yue walked through the crowd very easily.

Li Yue fixed his eyes and saw that Wang Teng in the center of the school field was fighting one against two at this time. Two sergeants armed with wooden guns flanked the left and right.

Wang Teng used a wooden shield in his left hand and held a wooden sword in his right hand, resisting back and forth. After a long time of fierce fighting, Wang Teng's road down is still as steady as a rock. Neither sergeant let Wang Teng's feet move even a step.

"Stupid! One attacks him on the road, the other on the bottom. Du Sanjin, who was on the side, looked anxious and shouted to the two subordinates.

Du Sanjin's face was blue and purple, which made the results of his previous competition with Wang Teng clear at a glance. If his subordinates can't win with two against one, then today's face is really embarrassing.

The two sergeants immediately began to attack according to the tactics of Du Sanjin, the commander, and Wang Teng smiled provocatively: "Come on!" ”

The two sergeants rushed towards Wang Teng together, attacking on the left and taking down on the right.

Wang Teng was not in a hurry, raised a wooden shield with his left hand to block the attack on the upper road, raised his right foot to dodge the attack on the lower road and kicked out at the same time, and the sergeant was directly kicked away by him.

After standing on his right foot, Wang Teng's left hand withdrew the shield like lightning, and the sergeant on the left didn't have time to retract his strength, and suddenly lost his support, and stumbled forward, Wang Teng's right wooden sword swung out, directly hitting the opponent's back, knocking him to the ground.

The two sergeants turned over and stood, and were about to fight again, when they heard someone shout:

"That's it! The winner is decided! ”

Wang Teng followed the prestige and said with some surprise: "Head! What are you doing here? ”

"That's all for today!" Du Sanjin also threw the shame of defeat out of the clouds at this moment, and shouted to all the sergeants: "The brothers are all scattered! ”

After the sergeants dispersed, Wang Teng and Du Sanjin walked quickly in front of Li Yue.

"Do you still call me head? You're all captains now, and you're one level higher than the flag head! Li Yue quipped to the two brothers.

"No matter what happens, you will always be our head!" Wang Teng and Du Sanjin said in unison.

Li Yue has been accustomed to seeing the deceit in the court these days, and after listening to the words of the two brothers, he suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

"What a good brother for me!" Li Yue patted them on the shoulder and said, "Tomorrow, take your brothers and escort the silver ship of Daliang Bank to Jiankang and Yangzhou." Decide who is going and where, you can discuss it yourself. After the deed was done, each brother gave the money consistently. ”

"Since it's an errand for the imperial court, there's no need for the eldest brother to break the bank." Wang Teng said with some hesitation: "But...... This ......"

"When did you kid talk so unpleasantly?" Li Yue punched him in the chest and said, "What do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"The brothers know that you are now staying with the fairy-looking widow Ting all day long, which makes the brothers very envious. Cough! Cough! Wang Teng coughed dryly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said with some embarrassment: "Can you let her have a few drinks with her brothers after the matter is completed?" ”

"It's really three years of being a soldier, and the sow is a treasure!" Li Yue couldn't help but scold: "Look at your little bit of talent!" I'm going to go back and discuss this with our vice president, as long as she agrees. ”

"Thank you too much!" Wang Teng said with some excitement.

"But the brothers can't get less money, although it is said that the court has to send it, but when did I, Li Yue, let my brother suffer?" Li Yue knew that this money could not be saved, and if the promised things were taken back, it would make him lose people's hearts, so he bowed his hand and said, "You prepare today, and you will set off tomorrow." There is still some official business at the bank, so I will leave first. ”

After Li Yue finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

When Li Yue returned to the bank, it was already late at night, and the widow Ting was left alone in the bank, and she had fallen asleep on the table. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, he really couldn't bear to destroy this picture of Sleeping Beauty.

Li Yue knocked lightly on the table, and the widow Ting got up from the table, rubbed her eyes and said, "You're finally back?" ”

"Is there any news from the two branches of Jiankang and Yangzhou?" Li Yue hurriedly asked.

"Yes!" Widow Ting's face was a little heavy: "As you expected, both branches are customers with large deposits who ask for cash withdrawals. According to your instructions, both branches allow cash withdrawals of more than 500 yuan to be booked three days in advance. But what happens after three days? The two branches add up to a gap of 100,000 yuan. ”

"Tomorrow, the Holy Protector Army will escort 100,000 guan from the Lin'an head office to the two branches."

"Then there are only 20,000 yuan left in the head office, and there are a lot of people who have withdrawn cash in Lin'an these days." Widow Ting said worriedly.

"Tomorrow the imperial court will publicly sell 9 percent of the bank's shares in the form of shares." Li Yue said confidently: "I believe that the rich people in Lin'an must be eager to flock to it. ”

"This is a good idea!" Widow Ting couldn't help but praise.

But when Li Yue asked her to accompany the soldiers of the Holy Guardian Army escorting the silver boat to drink, the widow Ting only threw down one sentence: "You sold me to so many men so easily?" Then he went away in a rage.

Li Yue, who couldn't figure out why the widow Ting was so angry, sighed: "A woman is really a magical creature!" ”
