Sixth, Mulan joined the army
At noon, at the entrance of the school in Beishi, there were already many men in various costumes around him, among which most of them were ruffians and hooligans in shabby clothes, many of whom were familiar with Xiang Youer's party, but most of them were friends when they were fighting for territory. So after glancing at each other, they all pouted coldly and went their own way.
In the meantime, there are also some traders and miscellaneous servants in the hundred lines, the original Qi Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the law stipulates that the Ding and Jia are distinct, the peasant households need to be farmers for generations, the artisan households need to be craftsmen for generations, and the military households are naturally for the army for generations, but the disadvantages of this method have appeared after several dynasties. First, the livelihood of the ancestors cannot remain unchanged from generation to generation, and second, the different political situations of each dynasty have led to different needs for hundreds of lines, so it has been abolished in a hundred years. Among them, the military household is particularly serious, because in the peaceful years, in order to cut expenses, the military household of the year to reduce the number of years of labor increased, so in addition to the war-torn Wuchuan Town in the West Province and Huaishuo Town in the North Province of the standing military households are still hereditary, most of the military households in the Central Plains are self-fetched, so that several generations below, the descendants have long been people from all walks of life.
Now it is not easy to recruit 200,000 soldiers in seven days, so the conscription envoy found out all the people whose ancestors were military households among the people registered in the capital, and forced the men in the household to join the army. The descendants of many military families in Beijing have been unfamiliar with bows and horses for a long time, and they also cherish their own men, and are afraid of dying on the battlefield, so they have raised their own axes, which are called "counselor military funds" in order to escape conscription. Now most of the people who come to this school are the ordinary people in the hundred lines who do not have enough capital to exempt themselves from conscription, as well as people like Xiang Youer, who are unemployed and have lost their families.
Xiang You'er and the others looked around at this time, but when they saw that the people who came to apply were all weak, weak, sick and thin, they all shook their heads, and they didn't pay attention to it, and went straight to the school recruiting guard to register. When he was about to enter the field, a ruffian with a bamboo pole on the side of the road sneered, Xiang Youer turned his head to look, but it was the bad head snake lizard in the West Market, although he had conflicts with Xiang Youer on weekdays, and he didn't know where to learn some snake tricks, so he relied on many cold-blooded reptiles to make a fortune in the West Market. But when the snake lizard wanted to come to Nanshi to expand its territory, it was repeatedly repelled by Xiang Youer, so the two didn't have a good face when they met.
I only heard him coldly joke: "You'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you dare to bring so many brothers to apply?" ”
Xiang You'er was puzzled, but he didn't want to entangle, so he snorted and took his brother into the school field. The snake lizard was bored with himself, so he hugged the bamboo pole and found a shaded place to rest.
Although there were many people gathered outside the school grounds, the conscription guard was quite quiet at this time, and one person looked like a responsible officer, surrounded by three or four soldiers who followed him. I saw that this little official was fat, his face was slightly curled, and his face was oily and slippery. At this time, he was lying on the desk with one bare foot, his chest was slightly open, and he was lying on his back on the wide sandalwood chair and sobbing soundly, with many melon seeds and peanut shells scattered around him, and there was a faint smell of alcohol around him. Those soldiers seemed to be afraid of disturbing the fat official, but they just lowered their hands and did not dare to be in a daze.
When the soldiers saw their party entering, they rebuked in a low voice: "O ruffian, what are you doing here, don't you see my official taking a lunch break? Get out of here! Although his voice was violent, he didn't dare to raise his voice too highly, and he was afraid of disturbing the fat official who was sleeping soundly.
Xiang You'er and his party were furious when they heard this, and Wei Qi knew that it was unwise to be angry at this time, so he raised his hand to suppress Xiang You'er and the others, and said loudly to the soldier: "The military master said that he was joking, the imperial court was in a hurry to recruit a large army, and we also saw the notice and came to apply." This place is the place of conscription, and we are conscripts, I don't know where the military master wants to let the conscripts go? He knew that he was outstanding, and before he came, he had already wiped his face with dust, and covered it up a little, and when Bai saw him wipe his face, he also learned to do it together, so the twelve of them were all standard ruffians with gray faces.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and now the people who took the initiative to apply for the recruitment were basically unemployed ruffians and outcasts, but he didn't want this ruffian to say something but hid a needle in it, and he was squeezed by a sentence. He stammered, "Let you...... You just get out, what's ...... Where's this, what nonsense! He replied in such a hurry that he forgot to control his pitch, and then he woke the fat man from his dream. He slapped the table, got up with difficulty, and scolded the soldiers behind him when he opened his mouth: "Grandpa, I have been recruiting so hard, just take a break at this time, you don't give me any quiet, but ......" At this time, he saw that the soldier pointed at Xiang You'er and his party, and then turned his head to look at Xiang You'er and them.
He had been bullying and fearing evil for a long time, and suddenly saw these many sturdy young men, and his momentum was relaxed, but he didn't want to lose face, so he slapped the table, still scolding at the soldiers: "Didn't you let you clear the field?" Won't it be coaxed away? Stupid as a pig! As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Xiang Youer's group a few times, and said in an official tone: "Are you here to join the army?" ”
Wei Qi replied: "Exactly! ”
The fat officer patted the two books on the table, one was the soldier's register, and the other was the account book. said with a smile: "Twenty taels of silver for one person, count it in person, and after registration, you will be considered to have joined the army." ”
Everyone was furious when they heard this, when they came, the school conscription was based on age, physique and martial arts, but they didn't expect that at this time, this conscription messenger wanted to take money to say things, everyone looked around the school, and saw that the stone locks and weapons that tested the strength and martial arts were indeed dusty for a long time, and they couldn't help but be angry again. You must know that the official officials of the Qi Dynasty at that time could not earn more than seven or eight taels of silver a year, and now this fat official will ask for twenty taels per person when he opens his mouth, which makes Xiang Youer and others how can they accept it!
Wei Qi was still calm at this time, he bowed his hand again and asked: "This conscription is in charge of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, but I don't know if this order of twenty taels per person is an order of the Ministry of War or an order of His Majesty?" ”
When the fat official heard this, his arrogance rose, and he pouted: "Yo, not convinced? Grandpa will teach you today. These twenty taels are just your pen polishing fee, which is the money to write your name in this book! Yo, I don't even have a name...... Well, after enlisting in the army, you have to pay for ordnance, armor, clothing, legs, stove, name, meal, maintenance, etc., and it will cost you more than twenty taels. That's not all, I think a dozen of you came together, if you want to join the army and want to be in a team, then you need to add a team selection fee and a military fee. And there is a difference in this military position, if the military expenses are not enough, they will be divided into a team, and they are also miscellaneous soldiers, transportation and construction, or the role of the striker to die. Oh yes, if you want to participate in the left army and the right army, you have to increase the price, almost eighty taels per person, you can make meritorious contributions and the treatment is good, and the rear army is relatively cheap, but it is basically determined that it is a person from Huaishuo Town, that is, if you go to the most, it is to act as a messenger for some transportation, which is boring. And the position of the Chinese army has long been occupied by the nobles, don't even think about it! Speaking of which, this fat official can be said to be spitting and flying together, just like the general who ordered troops in front of the palace.
Everyone was dizzy by his remarks, listening to his words, this time to join the army had to ask for a hundred and ten taels of silver, and also understood why there were so many people outside the school grounds, but there were no people in the school field, it seems that the snake lizard said "generous" is this truth.
I saw that the fat official said, picked up the account book on the table, patted it in his hand, and then twisted the mouse whisker on his lower lip with his hand and said: "I don't work at the original official at noon, but I see that all the military masters are good men who volunteer to serve the country, and the contemptible people are also quite admired, then the military masters, are the thirty-two people's military fees paid now, or are they ordered to the official's guards to get them?" ”
At this time, Li Hou'er couldn't help but shout: "Didn't you say twenty taels, why did it become thirty taels again?" ”
The fat official sneered: "Hmph, if you dare to let this official work overtime at noon, you will naturally be charged half more overtime wages!" You can't afford it? Then don't get in the way of your official business here! Please ......" and then turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, who also echoed and coaxed.
Although Wei Qi knew that there was a lot of corruption in the army, he didn't expect that even this junior conscription officer took advantage of the lack of conscription, so he also fell to this point, sighed secretly in his heart, and then thought about a few plans, and was about to step forward to talk about it, but he saw Xiang You'er next to him pull his sleeve, walked forward by himself, and stood in front of the fat official's case.
Wei Qi was startled, worried that it would be okay if he provoked the fat official to be angry, but it would be quite inconvenient if it affected the army, and he was about to step forward to stop him, but he was stopped by Ah Bai with one hand, Wei Qi looked at Ah Bai, only to see Ah Bai shook his hand, and pointed at Xiang You'er again, signaling that Xiang You'er should be able to do it.
At this time, Xiang You'er laughed and said: "Kong fat pig, it seems that this castrated chicken can really grow strong!" You're a new errand soldier who is really neat enough, and you dare to eat the stolen silver to the North Field? As he spoke, he spat and rubbed his hands, picked up the account book on the case and flipped a few pages, and said: "Yo, I remember this account enough, Gu Shopkeeper Qingming accepted five hundred taels of silver and donated to 100 households in the Chinese army...... Governor Wu's younger brother Haiyun received 300 taels of silver and was exempted from conscription...... Xu Sanduo, twenty-five taels of silver, as a striker miscellaneous servant, was served by his own ...... Yo, there is still a place to go, three thousand five hundred taels of silver, give it to the division of this ......" said deliberately slowing down the voice.
It turned out that this fat official was Xiang Youer's old acquaintance, formerly known as Kong Liu, and he was not fat originally, the year before last, this person had bullied the neighborhood's wives and daughters in Nanshi, and he met Xiang Youer and others at that time, so he taught him a hard lesson. Unexpectedly, this Kong Liu is also quite arrogant, and he still does evil, especially the **** women. Xiang Youer and the others knew about this situation, so they found an opportunity to arrest him and castrate. Unexpectedly, this Kong Liu was also a person who drilled the camp, and after being castrated, he actually took advantage of the opportunity to climb the eunuch party, and went to the factory health department to be on duty, and now he actually took advantage of the situation to go to the military election department to seek this recruitment errand. In the past two years, perhaps because the food is too good and the physique has changed, this Kong Liu has become like a fat pig.
After this Kong Liu was castrated by Xiang You'er, he was extremely afraid of this evil god in his heart, and he didn't dare to go to Nanshi anymore after he was on an errand. Just now, he showed off his might, firstly, he had just woken up, and secondly, he was also dirty and dirty on the face of Xiang You'er and his party, and he didn't even see Xiang Youer's true body. When Xiang You'er stepped forward to recognize him, this Kong Liu was so frightened that he almost peed out, and when he heard that he was going to read the whereabouts of the stolen silver in the account book, he knew that he couldn't let him look at it again, and called out to the soldiers behind him in a trembling voice: "Hurry up...... Fast...... Catch this thief, he wants to rebel...... Rebel! ”
The soldiers behind Kong Liu got the order, and as soon as they drew their waist knives, they were about to pounce, Xiang You'er dodged and retreated, but after hearing a few "ding, ding, ding" sounds, there were several muffled sounds of people pounced on the ground, and those soldiers, together with Kong Liu, had been restrained by Ah Bai, Wei Qi, and Dog Xiong'er. Wei Qi put the tip of his sword next to Kong Liu's neck and was silent. Xiang You'er took the account book and patted Kong Liu's head and said with a smile: "Fat pig, you are really embarrassed for your father-in-law Wei, you are afraid that you will not be able to do this errand well, so let's do it, grandpa, I will be tired, and patiently teach you how to recruit soldiers." When Kong Liu heard this, he couldn't understand what Xiang You'er wanted to do, but it was not a good thing to think about it, but because the sword was next to his head, he opened his mouth and cried.
Xiang You'er heard him crying, and he was not in a hurry, kicked Kong Liu's ******, and said leisurely: "Cry, cry as much as you want, cry your father-in-law Wei, this crime of embezzlement of military salaries must be able to help you carry some of it, by the way, this account book is an adult, do you personally send it to Dali Temple, or do you send a brother to help you send ......" Kong Liu heard this, and his heart suddenly felt bad, and he stopped crying in an instant. Suddenly, everyone smelled a commotion, but it was Kong Liu who finally couldn't stand it and urinated.
The money he received was not instructed by high-ranking eunuchs such as Wei Huan, the celebrant or the powerful people in the court, to put it bluntly, it was his own way of enriching his own pockets, and he spent three thousand taels of silver to get this errand, and he always had to benefit from it. But this officialdom also has the rules of officialdom, as a conscription officer, if he does not pay the bribes to the top of the offering, the superior officials will "ask" his errands, so that he has no power and money, so he privately calculates which road boss should be given a few more silver coins, and then he has a "place" for the money in the account book. But such corruption is all underground, and it is not enough to communicate with outsiders, and now if he is stabbed out by this group of ruffians, Kong Liu may not be as easy as losing his second brother. So when he heard that Xiang You'er was going to send this account book to Dali Temple, he suddenly didn't dare to cry anymore, but said with trembling lips: "Master...... You're a little star, sir...... Otherwise, the small ones will list you and the masters in the Chinese army, and they will be free of charge...... It's all free! ”
Xiang You'er smiled when he heard this: "Excuse me, I can't stand the emperor's heavy Chinese army!" As he spoke, he tore off a corner of the fabric on his shirt, pinched it into a ball, turned his hand and stuffed it into Kong Liu's mouth, kicked him into the case, turned to the soldiers and said, "You adults suddenly have an urgent matter at home, and ask the contemptible people to act as an agent for the conscription, and you guys will give me a good life!" As he spoke, his eyes lit up with a fierce light, and then he ordered several brothers of similar shape to put on the armor of the soldiers. The soldiers changed suddenly, and they were all so frightened that they lost their minds, seeing that Kong Liu was kicked around like a ball, although he knew that his "family emergency" was pure nonsense, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to follow the instructions of Xiang You'er and his party, obediently took off his military uniform, stood aside, and was guarded by Li Hou'er and them.
Xiang You'er herself stripped Kong Liu's official uniform, smelled the smell of urine and wine on it, hesitated for a moment, then still put it on her body, and asked her brothers to roughly clean up the filth of the conscription guard, and tied up Kong Liuhua and the corresponding soldiers, Kong Liu was still stuffed under the case, and the soldiers were thrown into the corner.
At this time, Xiang Youer was wearing the official mansion of Kong Liu, the official mansion was abnormally fat, Xiang Youer's dress was really like the monkey who was crowned by the monkey, Li Monkey, Wang Tofu, Dog Xiong'er and a bunch of ruffians saw the boss dressed like a monkey for the first time, and they couldn't help laughing. Xiang Youer also felt funny, everyone laughed, Xiang Youer folded the official mansion tightly, straightened the official hat, and instructed the brothers wearing armor to stand behind him, and then raised the startling wood and "snapped" it, and was about to make some high comments, but he was speechless for a while, so he had to scratch his head, looked at Wei Qi, and asked for help: "Papaya, what should this official say to be prestigious?" By the way, Lao Tzu can't write, so you can register the names of the applicants. As he spoke, he pointed to the conscription roster on the case, and the implication was that he was going to pretend to be the conscription officer.
Wei Qi saw Xiang You'er teasing Kong Liu, and finally took Kong Liu, and his heart was also happy, but he didn't know what Xiang You'er's move meant, and when he peeled off the official mansion and put it on himself, he understood his intentions, and admired Xiang You'er for a while, although he also felt that it was inappropriate, but he had been repeatedly scolded by the official family these days, and he only felt that Xiang Youer's move was bold, and it was indeed happy. So he responded: "Nature knows! As he spoke, he went up and took a set of soldiers' armor with him, sat down in front of the desk, flipped through the conscription roster, thought for a moment, and then instructed the ruffians to move the weapon racks, stone locks, bows and arrows, targets and other objects in the school field to the field, and ordered someone to appear to notify him, telling the conscription court that the conscription court had an order that the brave and the talented could be exempted from the conscription fee, and let the conscripts come in one by one to test and register.
In the school field, Xiang Youer saw that Wei Qi was commanding, and he only felt happy in his heart, so he didn't interfere with Wei Qi's scheduling, but just took the grass leaves to tease Kong Liu under the case, and the fat pig was tied up with five flowers at the moment and couldn't speak, and it was very hard. Xiang You'er was amused for a while, and when she heard that Wei Qi asked people to pass orders that those with courage and genius could be exempted from conscription fees, she asked Wei Qi why he didn't directly tell the conscripts that there was no charge, Wei Qi replied: "Today is the second day of conscription, and the need to pay money for conscription has become a street discussion. Xiang You'er nodded yes when she heard this.
In the school field, Wei Qi assigned all the ruffians to invigilate the examination according to the martial arts examination system of this dynasty. This dynasty martial arts test has archery, equipment, equestrian, strength, flag knowledge, art of war, family seven assessments, but now the school is limited, plus can not be too publicized, so only set up strength, archery, equipment and military knowledge four subjects, that is, in order to let the recruits try to show their strengths, through any level can be registered, there is really no strength and no physical defects, people who are interested in joining the army, Wei Qi will test their understanding of the military, in short, if they have to join the army or voluntarily join the army, they will create a reason to register it in the register, and do not charge money.
Wei Qi asked Bear Er to lead a few little ruffians to supervise the stone lock competition, and Li Hou'er also led several people to supervise the bow and arrow archery art level, and the equipment level was guarded by Ah Bai alone, and he himself took the pen and sat in the test of military knowledge. I saw that Ah Bai suddenly saw these eighteen kinds of weapons, and he was very excited, and he played in the field by himself, only to see him play with swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks like toys, and even several weapons danced at the same time when he was happy, and he was dazzled. The ruffians knew that Ah Bai was good, and at this time, seeing him dancing all kinds of weapons so fancy, they all felt that it was very funny, so they applauded one after another. Ah Bai heard the cheers of the crowd, and the more he danced, the happier he became. Wei Qi watched from the sidelines, and he was the same cheer at first, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it later, and he thought it was wonderful. His martial arts cultivation is not comparable to other ruffians present, he has studied under Huanlu Academy since he was a child, and his mental method was learned from Murong Yuan's personal transmission and the collection of books in the Longcheng Branch, but the moves were learned from the martial arts instructor of Huanlu Academy next to Murong Yuan, Supervisor Lan.
Thinking of Supervisor Lan, Wei Qi couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart. Eight years ago, he worshiped Murong Yuan, and Murong Yuan personally wore his poetry and literary knowledge, but only martial arts, Murong Yuan could only teach him the mental method, but the kung fu was unable to demonstrate because of his own illness. So eight years ago, the person in charge of teaching him martial arts was Supervisor Lan, although Supervisor Lan was not tall, he didn't speak much on weekdays, and he always appeared masked, but in Xiao Xiaoweiqi's heart, he was like a devil. Because once Supervisor Lan began to train him to practice the basic skills, he was extremely strict, as long as Wei Qi did not meet the standard in any of his movements, it would be a whip and bamboo strip beating, and the training course designed for him seemed to be eager to exhaust Wei Qi to death! But this aroused Xiao Weiqi's stubbornness, he mustered up a full will to practice hard, plus his talent is extremely high, within three years to open the soul pass, within five years to expand Zhou Tian, to reach the Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Mo Soldier of the fusion of the small realm, this is quite rare in the category of Huanlu Academy, ordinary martial arts people even if they have a famous teacher to guide the practice to the age of fifty, they may not be able to reach this realm. After he realized this realm, he excitedly tried to find Supervisor Lan, and after the two fought for a hundred and fourteen moves, he knocked off the sword in Supervisor Lan's hand with a move of "Ape Yanshou", and a grappling hand clasped Supervisor Lan's shoulder, but he didn't want to start petite and slippery, not like a man's arm. Wei Qi was completely stunned at this time, but saw that the jade arm in front of him was as white as fat and slender as a green onion, but how could it be a man's hand, and there were several bruises and scratches on this jade arm under a closer look, but Wei Qi had just accidentally injured it.
When Wei Qi was in a daze, he unexpectedly received a heavy slap on the face, and when he was sober, he saw Supervisor Lan standing next to a small tree not far away, with his back to him, his right hand caressing the scar on his left arm, and his back was trembling. Wei Qi somewhat understood in his heart at this time, it turned out that this Lan Supervisor was a woman, he had not found out all these years, firstly, because Supervisor Lan was always masked and silent, and secondly, he was afraid of Supervisor Lan on weekdays, so he imagined her as a fierce man, and he was still young when he met, and he had preconceived ideas, which led to the fact that he only knew the true identity of this Lan Supervisor today. He thought about it carefully at this time, and when he was a child in the past, he felt that this Lan Supervisor had a chest and a thin waist, not like an ordinary young man, and as he grew up in the past few years, this Lan Supervisor's voice seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, and his figure was becoming more and more slender and convex. At this moment, Wei Qi saved this thought, and then looked at the figure behind Supervisor Lan, and his eyes were completely a young girl who was only one or two years older than him, but where was the vicious devil training in his heart before. He was also a young man at that time, although he had not yet opened his mind to the affairs of men and women, but his nature was full of blood, looking at the back of Supervisor Lan, he was stunned for a while, and then his heart was chaotic, his face was blushing, and he didn't know how to explain to Supervisor Lan that he didn't know, so it was purely unintentional.
When Fang Dang Wei Qi hesitated, he saw that Supervisor Lan's shoulders were trembling and stopped for a moment, and suddenly kicked back with his back, kicking Wei Qi in the chest, kicking Wei Qi backwards, and when he got up, Supervisor Lan was already gone.
Later, Wei Qi never saw Supervisor Lan again, and whenever he asked Murong Yuan, Murong Yuan only shook his head with a smile, saying that she took leave and wanted to go back to the master to continue cultivating, but now she was afraid that she was far away. Later, without the training of Supervisor Lan, Wei Qi seemed to be unable to bear the tenacity of not admitting defeat as he did back then, although he also practiced diligently, but he had not entered the country for a long time, not to mention that Wei Qi had long been unable to find any opponents in the academy and Dragon City at that time, so he put away his heart and focused on learning military strategies and martial arts. Now he saw Ah Bai dancing with weapons, although he looked closely, but still couldn't see the sect lineage to which Ah Bai belonged, but he felt that although Ah Bai's moves seemed to be full of flaws, but people didn't know where to start, for example, his shot went straight in, three points lower than the wrist size of the "one-word horse" in the "Yang Family Gun", and two inches to the left of the "Thousand Miles of Hengyun" angle in the "Breaking Array Gun", in actual combat, there are seven ways to break long weapons such as knives and battle axes, and there are also three solutions to short weapons such as long swords and steel whips, but at this moment they were used by Ah Bai, but it made Wei Qi feel that his back move was extremely unpredictable, if it was a real battle, then the ten ways to crack it just now could be used by Ah Bai's back move, and Ah Bai's move was domineering and awe-inspiring, if he was on the front when he rushed into battle, he was afraid that he would be injured by one move, not to mention how his back move changed It is completely impossible to know.
Wei Qi thought about it, Fang Jue's forehead sweated, and he thought that if Ah Bai was serious about himself that night, he didn't know how many tricks he could pass, so thinking about it, he thought a lot more highly of Ah Bai in front of him. His own martial arts are proficient, but the martial arts realm stays at the "exogenous" layer, but he can learn to use the martial arts of the four seas, but he has not reached the realm of "seeing independence".
By the time he came back to his senses, there were already people in the school hall who had come to take the exam, and at first there were only three or five people who came to test it, and then there were dozens of people waiting in line. For a while, the weightlifting in the field, the shooting of the target, but no one went to the weapon rack to compete with Ah Bai, it seems that everyone has carefully thought about it when they entered, and when they saw Ah Bai dancing with the blade is too powerful, they all stayed away. Ah Bai had fun at first, but later found that no one was willing to come, so he felt uninterested, and then he stopped in anger, leaned back against the big knife on the weapon rack, and sulked with his hands. Occasionally, an unlucky child came to challenge Ah Bai, and was sent away by Ah Bai, so he had to obediently go to other subjects to find a way out.
This day was busy, and it was dusk in a blink of an eye, everyone was busy recruiting, but Xiang You'er sat there in a wide official uniform as an official master, and he thought it was interesting at first, but then he became more and more bored, wandering around the field, and then he suddenly thought of a problem, and discussed it with Wei Qi. It turned out that when he saw that there were more ruffians when he came to join the army, and most of the ruffians were nameless people, and they were called by nicknames on weekdays. At this time, the number of applicants was decreasing, so he asked Wei Qi to see if he could choose an elegant name to distinguish between them. Wei Qi was slightly shocked when he heard this, thinking that the name was obtained by his parents and elders, but he had been getting along with Xiang Youer for more than a day, and he also knew the temper of this brother, so he no longer politely excused himself, took the pen and paper, and wrote the names of the brothers except Xiang Youer and himself on the paper one by one, but saw that it was written: "Dog Bear, Li Monkey, Wang Tofu, Pheasant, Liang Maoer, Haonan, Soy Sauce Boy, Zhao Asi, Shen Que'er and Ah Bai" Wei Qi finished writing, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Since everyone is used to calling it, it is easy to use homophonic words to take it, and it is also easy to remember." As he spoke, he wrote on the paper: "Gou Xiong, Li Hou, Wang Dou, Shang Ji, Liang Miao, Hu Nan, You Jiang, Zhao Si, Shen Yu and Xie Bai." When he finally wrote about Ah Bai, he admired Ah Bai in his heart, so he wanted to give him a better surname, and he thought that the stronghold was in the abandoned garden of the Xie family, so he pointed Ah Bai's surname to "Xie". After writing it, as soon as he and Xiang Youer combined, he registered the names of the twelve people he took in the list of recruits in the Changwu Army, and Xiang Youer is naturally still Xiang Youer, and Wei Qi is naturally Wei Qi.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of dense "ding, ding, ding, ding" and a series of blades intersecting in the paddock, but someone in the field was competing with Ah Bai. Xiang You'er was overjoyed when she saw this, so she left Wei Qi, who was busy registering on the side, and went over to join in the fun.
This afternoon, Ah Bai was in a panic and was bored, but unexpectedly, a little man in Tsing Yi came at dusk, and he didn't pick anything else, and walked straight to the weapon field where Ah Bai was. Seeing that the person who came was short and not good-looking, Ah Bai thought that he was just an ordinary applicant who didn't know the situation, so he said: "Although you only need to go through ten tricks with me here, you can register...... Well, but I'm too good, you can't beat it, so you better go and register. He didn't like to talk at first, but now he talked so much, he was already really worried about this little man, and it was true that no one could go through five moves under him this afternoon.
At this time, I saw that the little man didn't say much, rushed forward and pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed at Ah Bai, seeing that his body shape and footwork were quite Fufeng ninja style, he waved the dagger quickly and, for a while, the dagger seemed to conjure up four or five splits, and at the same time stabbed towards Ah Bai, Ah Bai hurriedly responded, and only the glaive knife in his hand was played. At this time, Ah Bai was close to the short weapon, so he had to block with a big knife while retreating, so the blades intersected, and there was a dense "ding" sound. Listening to that sound is like playing a lute, and more than 20 sounds pass in a flick of your fingers. The dagger was quite sharp, and the little man's internal strength was also quite good, and this combo actually cut out many cuts in the thick-backed broadsword!
Blocking this round of spurs, Ah Bai was a little settled at this time, only hung the big knife in his hand and rotated, the radius was reduced, and the big knife was moved by the method of making a stick, and he defended against the attack of the dagger for a while, and then jumped backwards, jumped on the weapon rack, and cut down the big knife in his hand. At this time, he was in a high place, and the mighty power of the broadsword finally came into play, only to see that his broadsword swept away, and the end was to split Huashan and sweep thousands of troops. The little man was distanced by him at this time, and the ruthlessness and speed of the dagger suddenly had nowhere to be used, so he threw the two daggers, untied a long whip from his waist, waved it "crack", and fought with Ah Bai again.
At this time, it was replaced by a long whip and a big knife to fight, although the big knife is long, but it is not as long as a long whip, and it is soft and can overcome rigidity, only to see this little man drag, belt, collapse, and bullet, and then take Ah Bai's big knife to the left and right deviation, and the head is lost. Ah Bai encountered such a strong opponent at this moment, and his heart was extremely happy, and after slashing a few times, he inserted the big knife, and pulled out the iron gun on the rack with his backhand. This marksmanship is mainly based on hitting, stabbing, throwing, and shocking, unlike the big knife. I saw Ah Bai turn over and make a move "tiger swing tail", his hands collapsed the barrel of the gun, and when the head of the gun stabbed back, there were four or five gun shadows. For a while, the gun entered the dragon, the whip was like a swimming python, and the fight was not fierce.
The little man saw that he couldn't please him, so he rolled up the long whip on the ground, and the dagger on the ground was rolled up by the long whip and wrapped around the head of the whip, and it turned out to be a Qimen weapon with a whip and a dagger, just like a giant snake with long teeth. In fact, Ah Bai's own beast tooth dagger and silk rope could also achieve such an effect, but when he encountered it at this moment, Ah Bai suddenly felt fun, so he went around the field, and used the big axe, iron mace, spear, and big knife in the field to be scarred, and some wooden weapons with handles were directly cut into sticks by the dagger wielded by the whip. Ah Bai was helpless, and finally took a cooked copper stick and fought with the little man. If you want to say that the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, then the stick is the thief of a hundred soldiers, making it the most flexible and ingenious. At this time, Ah Bai's heart was already up, so he played the cooked copper stick all the way like splashing the wind, blocking, topping, waving, coiling, twisting, and smashing smoothly and abnormally. The little man didn't seem to expect the young man in front of him to be so difficult, so he was ruthless, wielding the dagger whip more and more fiercely.
The two of them fought back and forth in the field for no less than 100 moves, although Ah Bai was more playing, but the little man's martial arts were indeed good, but when he saw the 132nd move, the little man took Ah Bai's cooked copper stick with a long whip, put the dagger in his left hand on the cooked copper stick, and slashed the five fingers of Ah Bai's right hand with the stick, Ah Bai saw this, his right hand loosened, and his left hand turned the stick over, and the tip of the stick was placed next to the little man's neck, Ah Bai took the cooked copper stick and smirked proudly, which means "I won". The little man stood still, and suddenly his whole body trembled, his face turned black, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth? White foam oozed from his lips, and he fell stiffly backwards. Ah Bai was shocked when he saw this, he was quite appreciative of this opponent, and he was already thinking about whether to say something like "conceit", he was not as good as Wei Qi who had poetry and books in his belly, nor was he as eloquent as Xiang Youer, when he was hesitating in his heart, he saw the little man begin to convulse and fall, he knew that his strength was not great, and the internal strength of this little man was quite good, he was just a stick, and he should not hurt him. But at this moment, he didn't allow him to think too much, just flashed forward and hugged the little man, but the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.
Xiang Youer watched the battle from the sidelines, and was very happy to see Ah Bai win, not only happy that his brother was excellent in martial arts, but also happy that he met a good man again, he was about to come forward to make friends, but he saw this little man fall, he saw the scene when someone in the neighborhood had a sheep epilepsy, at this time, his mind was spinning, knowing that this little man must have symptoms of sheep epilepsy, and after a dramatic battle with A Bai, he had a seizure. When he saw that Ah Bai had caught the little man, he shouted, "Knock him open, don't let him bite off his tongue." Hearing this, Ah Bai pinched the little man's cheek chariot acupoint and Yingxiang acupoint with one hand to make the little man's mouth open, and massaged him to the yang acupoint with the other hand. I saw the little man spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, his eyes slowly opened, and he found that he was in Ah Bai's arms, so he turned his hand and punched Ah Bai in the chest. He had just woken up at this time, and his sanity and strength had not recovered, but this punch also beat Ah Bai to grin. But seeing that he didn't look at Ah Bai, he took a few steps to the side, sat cross-legged on the ground, and took care of himself.
When everyone watched the luck of the little man, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves at the entrance of the school, and a brightly dressed eunuch-like person with four or five guards rushed into the school field in a hurry, until the conscription guards dismounted, and after dismounting, he picked up the conscription book on the table and looked at it, and asked at the same time: "What about Kong Liu?" How's the conscription going today? Are you not actively recruiting? Wei Qifang saw this group of people coming on horseback, and he knew that what should have come was still coming, so he thought for a while, then bowed, and said, "Our Sixth Master Kong went to the mansions to present today's income...... There weren't many people who came today. ”
I only heard the eunuch "snap" a horse whip on the case, and screamed: "Kong Liu, this fat pig!" Don't look at who is going to lead the army to the expedition now, he still dares to be so corrupt in this conscription work! Quick, call him back! Father-in-law Wei said that no one is allowed to affect the conscription, let alone take a penny from it! Tomorrow, if Kong Liu's pig's head can't be requisitioned to half of it, grandpa promises to boil all the fat on his body into oil! After that, he snorted coldly, turned over his horse, and walked away.
Although these few words are short, Kong Liu, who is tied up under the case, can hear it clearly, this voice is Qian Ning, the young eunuch under Gonggong Wei, whom he has always relied on, he has always spared no effort to deal with this Qian Ning, and Qian Ning also takes care of him on weekdays. And when he gave the stolen money from the conscription to Qian Ning yesterday, Qian Ning also promised him a wish to be promoted, but unexpectedly, at this time, he turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, and he would know him and eat him alive when he heard the tone.
What Kong Liu didn't know was that Qian Ning received the stolen money from Kong Liu yesterday, and the next day he gave it to the great eunuch Wei Huan, but he was scolded by Wei Huan. Originally, he only asked for 100,000 Changwu troops in the palace, but the emperor opened his mouth for 200,000, so he felt very happy, and secretly thought in his heart that 200,000 troops against Murong Xian's 20,000 troops must be captured, and then he will add the honor of a patriotic general to his name. When he was complacent, he knew that Qian Ning and his party were still relying on conscription to make money regardless of whether they were going out on their own, which made him not angry, so he asked Qian Ning to shave more than a dozen ear scrapers, and at the same time warned him not to hinder the conscription. Qian Ning originally intended to give money to please his boss, but he was slapped instead, so he was all about to sprinkle it on Kong Liu in one go. If it weren't for the fact that Kong Liu was still tied up at this moment, most likely he would have been boiled into oil at this time.
After this interruption, the little man in the school field was out of luck, but when he saw him stagger to his feet, he walked to the recruitment office with a blue face, and said, "Enlist." He spoke in a hoarse and low voice, without joy or anger, and it was evident that the convulsions had hurt his tongue as well. Wei Qi knew that this person didn't want to say much, so he raised his pen and asked, "Name." ”
"He Shan."
"I want to join the army."
"With you." The little man's eyes were cold, and he turned around and left, his back dark, and he disappeared into the night.
Xiang Youer just saw that this little man was good, and he wanted to make friends, but he didn't expect this little man to open his mouth and want to be on a team with his own people, thinking that he should have a sense of pity after a fight with Ah Bai, in short, it is not a bad thing.
At this time, it was already dark, Xiang Youer and others pulled out Kong Liu's people and loosened their ties, Kong Liu didn't dare to make a mistake at this time, plus he heard Qian Ning's words, so he knelt down in front of Xiang Youer and others, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged Xiang You'er and his party not to tell them about their private bribery, as long as they didn't say it, they were willing to let Xiang You'er send them.
Xiang Youer and the others were overjoyed, to be honest, they had a lot of fun this afternoon, if they could play this conscription and garrison errand for a few more days, it would be very good. In order to prevent Kong Liuyi's party from repenting, Wei Qi took a small porcelain bottle from his body, poured a few pills from it and gave it to Kong Liu and the others, and patted a few of their acupuncture points, telling them that this medicine would attack ten days later, and if they didn't take his unique antidote in time, they would bleed to death, so he couldn't have a little dissent.
Originally, these words were made up to deceive Kong Liu, and the medicine was just some cough and ventilation pills, and the acupuncture points pressed by Wei Qi added up to just a reaction of some flatulence and abdominal pain. But Kong Liu and the others now regard Xiang You'er's party as a bad star, and when they saw that this Wei Qi was in command all the way, they naturally believed it, but nodded and kowtowed desperately.
It was late on this day, so he ordered Kong Liu to bring some food to everyone to share, and Xiang Youer and the others rested in the conscription guard on the spot, and asked Shang Ji and Hu Nan to go back to the Xie family abandoned garden to inform the other brothers of the corresponding situation. For an hour or so, I saw that Lala came to forty or fifty ruffians, it turned out that Shang Ji and Hu Nan went back to tell their brothers about the scenery of today's conscription guards, and all the children were envious, and they were clamoring to see the boss wearing official uniforms, so a group of people rushed to the north school field, and met other ruffians on the way, and it was inevitable that they would have to add oil and vinegar, so Xiang Youer was described as a hero who fought tigers, so he gathered forty or fifty ruffians all the way.
Seeing this, Wei Qi thought that it was not good to be so publicized after all, so he motioned to Xiang Youer to try to be as restrained as possible. Xiang You'er understood, in fact, he didn't want to publicize the situation too much at this time, after all, if he messed up, it might not only be as easy as not being able to join the army, maybe his brothers might have to suffer a lawsuit, but he knew that if he drove them away at this moment, he might let these ruffians go out and talk nonsense. So after thinking about it for a while, he began to talk nonsense that Kong Liu, who was conscripted, was his old acquaintance, and he was actually just doing his friend a favor. As he spoke, he pulled Kong Liu over and hooked his shoulders and made love, although Kong Liu's forehead was sweating, he still pretended to smile and respond. After Xiang Youer finished acting, he told everyone that if he wanted to join the army, he would come and register. They thought that Xiang Youer was playing a "rebellion" drama, but unexpectedly he just climbed up to the backer of an official to do chores, and he didn't have the prestige he imagined at all, so they scattered in an uproar, leaving someone who wanted to join the army, and Xiang Youer asked Wei Qi to register his name one by one.
