Chapter 59: Testing

"The sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, the wall is thousands, there is no desire, it is just, it is well said, it is too incisive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info. ”

A middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing appeared in front of Wu Shaogang and Lu Xiufu.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Lu Xiufu hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"I've seen my teacher."

Wu Shaogang was not stupid, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted.

"Wu Shaogang, the deputy general of the Urging Front Army under the front division of the palace, visited Lord Li Tingzhi, and his subordinates were ordered to come to report."

This middle-aged man is Li Tingzhi, the envoy of the two Huai systems.

After Meng Xi's death, Li Tingzhi can already be regarded as the first person in the Southern Song Dynasty court to have both Chinese and martial arts, and his influence exceeds that of LΓΌ Wende and others, although it is said that Li Tingzhi is now nominally in charge of the people's livelihood affairs of Lianghuai, but because the location of Jiankang Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion and Luzhou Mansion is too important and needs to spare no effort to protect it, Li Tingzhi, who is responsible for the overall affairs of these places, has actually intervened in military affairs.

Wu Shaogang, who is an officer of the front division of the palace, came to report to Li Tingzhi, which has already explained this point.

"Vice General Wu, you're welcome, you came to Jiankang Mansion, it's home, don't be restrained, your bravery, I already knew, I didn't expect you to be so young, I thought you were a tiger's back, a bearded man, you can lift a thousand pounds, I can't imagine your temperament, you don't lose Junshi, it's rare, it's really rare."

"Teacher, the students didn't expect that Brother Wu's words made the students feel a lot, and the students were willing to learn from Brother Wu in the future."

Hearing Lu Xiufu say this, the smile on Li Tingzhi's face was even bigger.

"Okay, good, you are all young people, the world will depend on you in the future, you cherish each other, it is the blessing of the emperor, and it is the gospel of my Song court."

Li Tingzhi's words came to this, and Wu Shaogang had to speak again.

"Master Li, just now Brother Lu was polite, his subordinates will learn more from Brother Lu in the future, Brother Lu entered high school at the age of nineteen and became a student of Master Li, his subordinates can't do this, what he just said is the class with an axe."

Li Tingzhi's expression was a little more serious, and he looked at Wu Shaogang and spoke.

"Vice General Wu, you give me a different feeling, gentle and elegant, Yushu is in the wind, not arrogant or humble, the export is a chapter, looking at my army, there is no talent like you among the generals, I see that you have an extraordinary style of writing, superb martial arts, and so young, you are a talent with both civil and military skills, there are too few such talents in the court, if you have the opportunity, I believe you will be able to become the mainstay of my court."

Li Tingzhi's conclusion, Wu Shaogang really didn't dare to take it.

"The adult's evaluation made his subordinates honestly afraid, and his subordinates really didn't dare to take it."

"Vice General Wu, I know what you think, I have just said, this is Jiankang Mansion City, not the capital, you don't have to be so cautious, the story of Bole Xiangma, I think you know, what I admire the most is talent, the most disgusting is mediocrity, the most unaccustomed is incapable, flattering, always thinking about the calculation of the villain, I see that you are less than twenty years old, but you have a weight beyond the age, presumably you have experienced a lot of things, with an unforgettable understanding, you just talked with Junshi, It makes my heart a little stirred, at your age, there are some people who can't understand it in a lifetime, I don't know how you got to such a state, but I know that you have explored a lot of truths, I just hope that you don't fall into mediocrity because of old age. ”

"The teachings of the adults have been remembered by the subordinates."

"Your residence, I think it will be arranged in the official residence, a total of about 30 people, you live in the backyard, next door to Junshi, and the rest of the officers and sergeants live in the front yard, Junshi, you go and arrange this matter."

When he said this, a complicated look flashed on Li Tingzhi's face, which did not escape Wu Shaogang's eyes.

It was definitely not such an arrangement before, this was a temporary change, Li Tingzhi, who had already received the imperial edict, could not have made arrangements, and the sudden change showed that Li Tingzhi's inner thoughts had changed fundamentally.

It seems that what Wu Shaogang accepted was not a good task.

The reception banquet is arranged at the unitary time.

Li Tingzhi personally participated in the reception banquet, which surprised Zhang Binghui, Ma Long and others, of course, they understood that this must be Li Tingzhi's attention to Wu Shaogang.

At the reception banquet, Wu Shaogang, who was in a slightly relaxed mood, was completely let go.

He drank heavily, almost to the point of not getting drunk after a thousand glasses, and after drinking, he spoke clearly, and he also had great respect for Li Tingzhi, and the interaction with Lu Xiufu was also very natural.

It was Lu Xiufu, who didn't have such a large amount of alcohol, and was completely drunk.

Li Tingzhi's interest was also very high, and he asked Wu Shaogang about some things during the banquet, most of which were Wu Shaogang's life experiences.

Wu Shaogang's explanation to Li Tingzhi was the same, saying that he met an old man when he was a child and taught him all his knowledge and abilities, but as for the origin of this old man, he didn't know.

Wu Shaogang's decent conversation and boldness in drinking have left an indelible impression on Li Tingzhi.

On the eighth day of the sixth month, at the end of the day.

The backyard of the official residence of the two Huai systems.

Around the 500-step-square clearing, there were quite a few people, including thirty people under Wu Shaogang's command.

The contest suggested by Li Tingzhi will be held here, and the two sides of the contest are Wu Shaogang and Li Tingzhi's personal guards.

Most of Li Tingzhi's personal guards are selected from the army, and there are also some talents recruited from the rivers and lakes, and there are two personal guards who competed with Wu Shaogang today, one is selected from the army, and the other is a person from the rivers and lakes.

In the middle of the field, there is already a whistle stick, the head of the whistle stick is wrapped in a cloth towel, and there is a small pile of lime in the left corner of the field.

At the beginning of the competition, the two sides are armed with whistle sticks and cloth towels dipped in lime, attacking each other, and within the specified time, whoever has more white spots on his body loses.

This kind of martial arts competition is very common in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and the reason why the whistle stick wrapped in a cloth towel is to prevent physical injury.

The two guards who were about to compete with Wu Shaogang had already walked back and forth on the sidelines, although they were very familiar with this venue, they still had to be ready for everything, after all, they represented the adult's personal guard competition, if they lost, the adult's face was not good-looking, and they could not continue to gain a foothold beside the adult.

Wu Shaogang was wearing a thin silk robe, and he looked like a scholar of Sven.

This competition was presided over by Li Tingzhi himself.

When Wu Shaogang and the two guards walked into the field, Li Tingzhi looked at the three of them and spoke.

"Compete in martial arts, point to the end, don't hurt the body, if someone disobeys, I won't spare it."

The two guards naturally nodded, and Wu Shaogang looked at the two guards and spoke to Li Tingzhi.

"Master Li, since it is a martial arts competition, it is inevitable that there will be accidents, if you don't do your best, no matter whether the two sides of the competition win or lose, they will not be convinced, and the subordinates should not have so many restrictions, as long as they don't hurt the meridians, you don't have to worry about bruises."

Li Tingzhi looked at Wu Shaogang and was a little surprised.

"Vice General Wu, the rules of martial arts competition are to the point, I don't think it's too much."

"My lord said so, and my subordinates are not easy to refute, and my subordinates suggest that there is no need to limit the time for martial arts competitions, and the two sides of the competition, one side falls to the ground or kneels on both legs is lost, I don't know how this suggestion is."

Li Tingzhi thought for a moment and nodded.

Before Li Tingzhi could react, Wu Shaogang spoke again.

"Master Li, my subordinates suggest that the three of them compete on the same stage."

Li Tingzhi looked at Wu Shaogang suddenly, he thought he had heard it wrong, Wu Shaogang was going to deal with two people at the same time, you must know that these two people were personally selected by him, whether it was the ability to attack or the ability to fight, they were all top-notch, Wu Shaogang was ready to deal with the two at the same time, it was too conceited.

The faces of the two guards also showed indignant expressions.

Wu Shaogang looked at the two guards and slowly spoke.

"Two, I don't mean to despise you, it's just that I'm used to fighting on the battlefield, it's all life and death fighting, a little negligence, the end is death, in the battlefield, any situation can happen, with one enemy two, or even one enemy ten, it is a possible situation, the two sides of the life and death fight, but not one by one, everyone wants to be able to live, the other party falls to the ground and can't move, they can survive, I will compete in today's martial arts, depending on the fight on the battlefield, presumably the two will not object."

The two guards nodded unconsciously, at this time, they had been shocked by the momentum revealed by Wu Shaogang.

Li Tingzhi's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Wu Shaogang.

"Okay, according to what Vice Admiral Wu said."

Li Tingzhi left, leaving Wu Shaogang and two guards in the middle of the field.

It was eerily quiet, and no one spoke.

Li Tingzhi's expression has become very serious.

Lu Xiufu stood beside Li Tingzhi, revealing a surprised expression.

"Junshi, you have to learn a lot from Vice General Wu, if Vice General Wu wins the competition today, I will personally write to Jia Xiang, such a talent, Lord Ma Huaxuan can't find and pay attention to it, it's a pity."

"Teacher, Vice General Wu fights two at a time, can you really win?"

"I think Vice General Wu has won, what he said just now made me feel an extraordinary momentum, the two armies are facing each other, the emphasis is on the momentum, the momentum of one side overwhelms the other, no need to fight, the victory or defeat is decided."

"What the teacher said is that when the students saw Vice General Wu for the first time, they felt an unusual momentum, and the students couldn't bear this kind of momentum."

"I also feel it, this kind of momentum is not casual, it is the momentum that has experienced life and death fighting, to put it bluntly, it is murderous, you are a scholar, it is impossible to have such an aura on your body."

Lu Xiufu stopped talking, and Li Tingzhi didn't continue, in fact, in his heart, a bigger shock had just come out, and Wu Shaogang showed not only murderous and self-confidence, but also the spirit of a king.

What kind of person is this Wu Shaogang?

Li Tingzhi, who boasted of knowing countless people, was also a little confused.
