The weather in August is still a little hot in the middle of summer, and at dusk, the evening breeze finally brings a hint of coolness. www.biquge.info In the misty twilight, the rolling distant mountains are gray and gray, only where the sunset sinks, and the mountains are dyed with the red of the sunset.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the mountain path, and the two teams of men and horses, each riding hundreds of horses, met unexpectedly at the fork of the mountain road. Both sides were dressed in bright red forbidden army uniforms, with horizontal knives hanging from their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, scarves around their necks, and light Fan Yang hats on their heads.

"Phew! Where did you come out of the mountain, and when you saw your grandfather, you didn't salute, did you want to do it or what? "On the opposite side, a rider came out of the crowd, and the person on the horse was in his thirties, his appearance was quite rough, and his tone was not very polite, and he seemed to be a commander of Sima Jun in front of the palace.

"Fuck your bad breath! Your grandfather Du is the commander of the guard in front of the main account of the left compartment of Hujie, if you dare to do it, try it! Du Ximi did not show weakness, and shouted with a sneer as he pressed his hand on the hilt.

"Humph! It's just the guard department, Zhao Duyu, the former secretary of a certain palace, waits for Wang Zhengzhong under his command, and wants to accompany him another day! The officer of the front division of the temple snorted, pulled his horse and turned away.

Although the guard division is still the main force of the forbidden army, it is not the palace guard, and the front division of the palace was formed by Guo Wei's old foundation of the Tianxiong Army, and the officers have a sense of superiority.

"General! Over there is a person from the front of the palace from Tokyo, the general's surname is Zhao, and the official is waiting in front of the palace! Du Ximi, who was walking in front, beat his horse and ran back to report.

"Oh...... Isn't it Zhao Yuanlang? Check it out! Zhang Yue was a little surprised, drove the horse slowly to the intersection, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Kuangyin also hit the horse and came out, and the two looked at each other and bowed their hands.

"Haha...... I met Brother Yuanzhen here, and I am not lonely on the road, I don't know how far away from Xingzhou Shunzheng is, depending on the situation, I will miss the stay! Zhao Kuangyin said with a laugh.

Although he couldn't make a friendship with Zhang Yuepan, and he didn't make any progress in trying to draw him into the Youzhou military general group, Zhao Kuangyin gradually became disgusted in his heart and had the heart of competition, but the two didn't have much grudges, and they could still have something to say when they met, and the corresponding politeness was naturally necessary.

"It's still forty or fifty miles away from Xingzhou, and there is a town in front of the mountain pass where you can stay, Brother Zhao might as well go along and have a few drinks together in the evening!" Zhang Yue invited with a smile, he had seen too many celebrities of the times, and he had no emotion, but it was just an attitude of not leaving.

The two horse teams met, but it was also a question of who left before, Zhang Yue didn't care about these false names, so he took the initiative to be humble, Zhao Kuangyin led the forbidden army in front of the palace, Zhang Yue took his entourage to go with him, and Du Ximi reluctantly took his own soldiers to follow.

The two talked while walking, and Zhao Kuangyin claimed that he had come to announce the decree. The scholars came to the house, but the civil officials were too slow to hurry, and it was appropriate for the generals in front of the palace to read out the emperor's book, so they sent themselves. and revealed that Zhang Yue has added the official construction festival.

Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't ask much on the way, and when he arrived at the official office of Xingyuan Mansion, he had to send someone to notify Xiang Xun and Bing Shaohui to come first.

After a few miles out of the mountain pass, there is indeed a depression, this is called Jiao Aoli, Li Zheng people are called Jiao Taigong, I heard that some officers and soldiers asked for money and food for fear of being robbed, so they closed the village early, and only brought two security chiefs to meet them on the side of the road.

In those years, there were four households and one neighbor in the grass-roots township, five neighbors and one guarantee, and five guarantees and one mile, and there were posts such as neighborhood chiefs, security chiefs, and lizheng, whose main responsibilities were to investigate household registration, persuade farmers to pay taxes, check for illegality, and urge tax payment. But don't underestimate these grassroots officials, they are the emperors of the soil in the countryside, and Lizheng's prestige is not low.

"Are there any vacant houses in the village? If not, vacate a few mansions for the brothers to live in, and invite them with wine and meat, and not miss your money for food and lodging. As the host, Zhang Yue took the initiative to instruct Li Zhengdao.

"There are two old mansions and ancestral halls that can accommodate a lot of people, and the words of wine and meat are ......" Lao Li is Jiao Taigong shaking his white beard and expecting Ai Ai, and he didn't dare to refuse, and said with a bitter face: "The old man called people to prepare for ......"

"Uncle! If you have wine, if you can't make it up, our brothers can't disturb the neighbors! Zhang Yue said comfortingly, so as not to embarrass the old man.

"That's good! The deserted village and wilderness are shabby, and several generals go to the old man's house, and there are rooms to live in. Jiao Taigong instructed the two security chiefs to lead the officers and soldiers into the town to rest, and brought Zhang Yue and Zhao Kuangyin, as well as a few entourage, to his house.

Mrs. Jiao's house is not small or big, divided into the front and back courts, claiming how the ancestors of the family are, how much is the population of the family now, Da Lang has become a family, he is the head of the army in Xingzhou, and there are three sons who are idle at home, muttering endlessly before leading Zhang Yue and the two to the guest room, and letting the family make wine and dinner and serve them to accompany each other personally.

The old man's meaning is obvious, he wants the nobles to take him away, so that he can gain a reputation for the future. Before Zhang Yue could speak, Zhao Kuangyin smiled boldly: "Uncle! Call all your sons and daughters to take a look! ”

"Great!" The old man's mouth was crooked, and he turned to call his son.

Erlang is in his twenties and has not yet started a family, he is tall and strong, dark-skinned, humbly bows his head, and shows his white teeth with a simple smile, just like a Kunlun slave. San Lang didn't have a family, but he was white-skinned, tall and slender, and his somewhat sunken eyes swept around the two nobles, and he didn't look like a timid honest man. The youngest was only fifteen or sixteen years old, still a young man, looking at the two of them with clear eyes, looking simple and honest.

"General Zhang! Why don't you and I choose one each, and see what the criteria for our employment will be? Zhao Kuangyin smiled a little playfully.

"Alright! Brother Zhao is older, you pick people first! Zhang Yue said indifferently, no matter what kind of person he is, as long as he enters his own military camp, he is afraid that he will not be able to polish his talents.

"Good! This big black guy is good, it's a good seedling, then I can use it as a pro-soldier first! Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile, then turned his head to look at Zhang Yue, and guessed in his heart that Zhang Yue should choose that little boy, young people are more valuable to cultivate, but they are a little slower.

"Alright! Then leave Xiaolang at home to serve Jiao Lizheng. Zhang Yue smiled indifferently, he still has a bit of the ability to recognize people, Erlang is a clever person, and his eye sockets are deep-set, either he is drunk with wine, or he is a cunning and sinister person in his heart. Such a person is in a hurry to achieve quick results, and it is easier to drive it.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that ...... General Zhang is a domineering general, Zhao admires! It's just that people's temperament is greedy and sinister, and if it is not profitable, they are afraid of betraying virtue and seeking glory from the Lord, and they will not be used! ”

"Fish! Whatever I want, so do I want! Adults take righteousness so they can be big, villains take profits and are driven by profits, the heart can not be big, and naturally can not be used, this is the way to measure talents, what people are pursuing, what are destined to be achieved, not what domineering skills, General Zhao looks up to Zhang too much! Zhang Yue smiled to cover up, feeling that he was talking a little too much.

"Huh? That's right! What does the general ask for? Zhao Kuangyin really asked, and when he saw Zhang Yue's mouth, he couldn't help but wonder, how do you look at this person, he doesn't look like he was born in a butcher's family.

"Who doesn't want to be in the world, fame, fortune and wealth? General Zhao, you said yes, right? Zhang Yue didn't want to say anything big, and said vaguely with the common pursuit of martial artists in this era.
