Chapter 118: Newcomer to the Guard Battalion
ps
"The Lord will open the way of the imperial examination, provide a step for the children of the poor to enter the body, and will win the hearts of the poor scholars in the world because of this!"
Since the announcement of the scientific expedition in Hexi, only half a month has passed, and it has become a major event today, attracting countless scholars to trek through mountains and rivers to gather in Hexi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't be careless in the future, be sure to receive the scholars well, and there must be no accidents."
"Your Ministers obey." Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan and others bowed down to receive the order.
"Wait and guess how many scholars will come?"
"At present, there are more than 200 scholars in Hexi alone, and if you count the rest of the scholars, according to the minister's estimates, there will probably be more than 1,000 people to refer to."
"Hahaha, in this way, all the heroes of the world will be in my place." Hearing this, Wei Shuo couldn't help but be complacent.
"Don't be happy too early, the scientific expedition is still resisted by the family, and the survey shows that only one-third of them are the children of the family."
"It seems that the situation is not as bad as expected......" Wei Shuo pinched his chin thoughtfully, satisfied with the current situation.
"The minister thinks that the reason why the current situation has occurred is not unrelated to the fact that Hu Lu is in power today."
"Whether it is a child of a famous family or a scholar from a poor family, he is not very used in the Hulu regime."
"Although Hexi is remote, it is also the only Han regime in the north, which is very attractive to many scholars."
"In addition, thanks to Mr. Yuan Yu's help in lobbying, among the reference scholars in Hexi, there are one hundred and ten disciples of Mr. Yuan Yu alone."
When Wei Shuo heard the name of his father-in-law Guo Yu, his face showed a little embarrassment.
Maybe it's because the father-in-law and son-in-law are born to deal with each other, and Guo Yu always puts on a face every time they meet.
However, he recognized and admired Guo Yu's influence in Hexi Shilin.
……
After discussing the political affairs, everyone left one after another.
Only Yin E stood still, looking at Wei Shuo and stopping.
Watching Yin E squirm, Wei Shuo couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What?" Is there anything else that Mrs. Yin is doing? ”
"This ...... This, this ......" Yin E hesitated for a long time, and didn't know how to speak.
It turned out that after Yin Wen knew that Yin E and Wei Shuo were not clear, he kept urging Yin E to invite Wei Shuo to come to the mansion as a guest.
Yin E really couldn't hide today, so she had to bite the bullet and say to Wei Shuo.
"Oh, that's it! Originally, Shuo planned to visit Uncle Yin, but he happened to have time today. ”
Wei Shuo thought about it for a while, whether it was for Yin E's consideration or to win over the Yin family, and finally decided to go to Yin's mansion.
……
When Wei Shuo and Yin E came to Yin's mansion, Yin Wen had already made all preparations.
He opened the middle door wide and personally stood at the door to greet Wei Shuo.
"Oh, welcome to Daduhu."
"Shuo took the liberty to visit, and asked my uncle not to be surprised."
"Where, where, most of them are polite."
Hearing Wei Shuo call him uncle, Yin Wen immediately smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, but he made Yin E next to him roll his eyes.
After the greetings were over, Yin's father and Wei Shuo walked into the hall side by side, and Yin E took the opportunity to go back to the backyard to see her mother.
"Actually, Shuo should have come to visit my uncle a long time ago, but because Hexi was initially decided and was riddled with mundane things, I didn't have time to come until today, and I ask my uncle to forgive me."
Unexpectedly, Wei Shuo's posture was very low, which greatly surprised Yin Wen's expectations.
Originally, he thought that Wei Shuo would be in charge of the party at a young age, and it would inevitably be young and vigorous.
Who knew that Wei Shuo was actually polite, and he was even more courteous to him.
Where did Yin Wen know that Wei Shuo did this completely for Yin E.
As one of the most powerful subordinates, Yin E can't enjoy the glory of being in front of people like others, which makes Wei Shuo always feel very indebted to the other party.
"Thanks to the care of the little girl over the years, the old man has nothing to repay, and today he replaces wine with tea, and toasts a cup of Dadu."
"Uncle is polite, I really didn't do anything, Yin Xiaoniang is smart and clever, but she helped me a lot."
"E'er is just a woman, what knowledge can she have?"
"The old man thinks that most of the people are too fond of the little girl, and even the money village is entrusted to her as a woman."
Wei Shuo smiled and didn't say anything when he heard this, Father Yin was limited to traditional concepts and naturally despised women. Even if Yin E is his daughter, it is no exception.
But Wei Shuo won't, he knows that Yin E is powerful, and his talent is by no means lower than that of ordinary men.
The two chatted for a while, and when they saw Yin E, who had just entered the inner courtyard, they walked out again.
"The meal is ready, do you want to eat it first and then talk?" After speaking, she also glanced at Wei Shuo with flattering eyes.
When did Wei Shuo see Yin E in such a young daughterly state, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and hurriedly picked up the tea cup to hide his embarrassment.
Who knew that this scene fell in the eyes of Yin's father, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
In his opinion, Wei Shuo is not a moral saint, and he covets his daughter's beauty.
"Since the food is ready, why don't you and I talk while eating?"
"Okay, it's up to you."
Soon, a servant put on the wine and food, Yin Wen and Wei Shuo sat down separately, and the two talked happily during the banquet.
It's just that Wei Shuo is embarrassed that Yin's father is always intentionally or unintentionally matching him with Yin E.
He had also heard of Yin's father selling his daughter for glory before, but he didn't expect this to happen to him.
However, he didn't dare to agree, not because he was ruthless to Yin E, but out of respect for Yin E.
In short, after eating this meal, except for Yin's father, both Yin E and Wei Shuo were quite embarrassed.
When sending Wei Shuo away, Yin E was full of embarrassment.
"Wei Langjun, don't take it to heart, my father is like that."
"Madame is too worried, if it is not really inconvenient, Shuo is willing to accept the uncle's kindness."
"Ah, what do you say?"
Yin E's face turned red, turned around and left without looking back, leaving Wei Shuo to stand still.
……
After returning from Yin's Mansion, Wei Shuo took the time to meet Meng Yao again.
"Meng Yao, although you are a daughter, you are an enemy."
"In the future, the guard battalion will be expanded to a thousand people, and Shuo intends to put you in charge."
"Kang Long is fierce, and he is not suitable for managing daily chores."
"And you are different from Kang Long, not only are you excellent in martial arts, but you also have extraordinary knowledge."
"Shuo believes that the guard camp is in your hands, and he will not let a certain person down."
"This ...... Isn't that good? ”
Being trusted and valued by the capital of Megatron, Meng Yao was of course very moved.
But no matter how idiotic she is, she understands how difficult it is to run the guard battalion.
Not to mention that the guards are all from the elite of the Xiang army and the government soldiers, and they are all arrogant, and they will definitely not easily obey a newcomer from outside, not to mention that she is still a woman.
"What's wrong?" Wei Shuo waved his hand disapprovingly.
"The Hexi Army doesn't have so many stinky rules, and it doesn't pay attention to seniority, as long as you have the ability and ability, you can get ahead."
"You just have to rest assured to do it, and you can bear it if something happens."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the guard camp to have a look, you have to be mentally prepared, there may be people challenging you."
Then Wei Shuo and Meng Yao came to the guard camp, and when they saw the arrival of Lord Duhu, the guards hurriedly lined up to greet them.
"In addition to seeing everyone, there is a very important thing to tell you about today."
"In view of the expansion of the guard battalion, Commander Kang Long is powerless, and will no longer be responsible for the specific affairs of the guard battalion from now on."
"As for the new commander, it is the little lady Meng next to me."
"Don't underestimate others, Little Lady Meng has the courage of ten thousand people."
"What?!"
"How can the Metropolitan Protector let a woman serve as the commander of the guard battalion?"
"That's, that's it, why did she come to be our leader?"
"It's ridiculous."
"No, we're not convinced."
As soon as Wei Shuo's words fell, it immediately caused a commotion.
Anyone who had some force looked at Meng Yao provocatively.
"Ahem." Wei Shuo coughed lightly, and the guards immediately quieted down.
He glanced at the guards a few times, with an inexplicable smile on his face and a bit of playfulness in his tone.
"I know some of you are not convinced, it doesn't matter, I'll give you a chance to challenge."
"Little Lady Meng is standing in front of you, as long as any of you can surpass her in knowledge and martial arts."
"Shuo guarantees that he will replace Meng Yao and become the new commander of the guard battalion."
"Is that true?"
"Isn't the majority of protectors deceiving me and waiting?"
"What else is there to say? Copy the guys. ”
As soon as they heard the word challenge, all the guards immediately became like a frying pan, and they all made a noise.
Seeing this, Meng Yao didn't say a word, walked directly to the weapon rack next to him, picked up a spear, and put on a posture.
Who knew that in the guard battalion, which had always been known as brave and invincible, no one was Meng Yao's opponent in the next challenge.
This made all the soldiers convinced, and they no longer dared to underestimate Meng Yao.
