Chapter 17: On the Reward of Merit

"Hahaha! Where do you have any crimes, I think you are meritorious, so please hurry up. ”

Mao Wenlong laughed.

"Your Excellency is right, you alone will make the enemy flee in fright, and if you are guilty, then what are we? I think Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than this, in ancient times, Xue Rengui had three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountain, and now you have a single person to retreat from the enemy, if it is spread out, it will be a good story. ”

Garrison Ding Wenli also said with a laugh.

The others, regardless of their official position, expressed their admiration for him, and although they were just a small soldier now, they all believed that they would soar to the sky in the future.

The smile on the face of the fly did not show any smugness, he didn't know how many times he had encountered such a thing, and he was very experienced in dealing with it.

Lu Yan was also extremely shocked, after seeing this battle, he understood why there were so many deeds of archers recorded in ancient books, no wonder Xue Rengui was able to set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, just taking off his hat could make the enemy dismount and salute, and then retreat.

The deterrent power of the Sharpshooter in ancient times was truly extraordinary.

However, he felt that the biggest winner in this battle was still him, and he almost grinned as soon as he thought of the two archers Feiwei and Ji Chang, who were almost equal to Gan Fly.

"Okay, let's stop talking, let's go chase the enemy."

Mao Wenlong said.

The crowd said yes, and then they swarmed around the flies and walked towards the village.

The next thing went very well, Hu Kebin knew that he was invincible, so he tied himself up and came to surrender.

Except for those cowardly Xue who rode horses and slashed more than two dozen people, the others just worked together to slash and kill a few people.

But that doesn't affect the good mood of the crowd, and being able to win a fight without hurting one person is the best thing for a lot of people.

Mao Wenlong also ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep to reward the three armies.

At the banquet, everyone was happily talking about today's events, as if he was the one who was in a great rage.

Everyone rushed to toast the Sweet Fly, and the Sweet Fly became the brightest star of the whole banquet.

It wasn't until everyone was drunk that the celebration ended.

*****

*****

The next morning, Lu Yan woke up from his sleep with some discomfort.

The wine of the Ming Dynasty was not as strong as the spirits of later generations, but it was also a headache if you drank too much.

He went outside to get a basin of cold water, washed his face, and only after washing did he feel a little better.

It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaoyi to run in dejectedly.

"Childe, I just proposed to apprentice with Mr. Gan, but he refused."

"Oh."

Lu Yan nodded casually, he was not surprised at all by Zhang Xiaoyi's encounter.

In ancient times, art has always been paid attention to, and it is so easy to worship a master like Gan Fly as a teacher.

"Childe, can you go and intercede for me, as long as you can let me worship him as a teacher, I promise to endure any hardship."

Zhang Xiaoyi said flatteringly.

Lu Yan couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder this guy came here so early to invite him, he dared to come here and go through the back door.

"I can't help you in this matter, you better figure it out yourself. But I send you eight words, that is the result of sincerity, gold and stone for the open. ”

After speaking, Lu Yan shook his head and walked out.

Changlu Island was a tourist attraction in later generations, and since he came here, Lu Yan certainly had a good visit.

"Childe, wait, is everything easy to discuss?"

Zhang Xiaoyi still didn't give up, and chased Lu Yan out.

The scenery of Changlu really did not disappoint him, along the way the blue sea and silver sand, beautiful seabirds, coupled with the idyllic scene on the island, the whole scene of a paradise.

Seeing such a beautiful scene made Lu Yan feel very good.

Coupled with the fact that he scored 390 points of merit yesterday, Lu Yan is full of confidence in his future.

But then he really couldn't stand Zhang Xiaoyi's bitter entanglement, and finally promised him to help make a move, as for whether he could achieve it, it depended on Zhang Xiaoyi's creation.

Even if it's just like this, Zhang Xiaoyi is still overjoyed.

Soon he had the dream of shooting an enemy general with an arrow on the battlefield, and then making a marquis a general.

"Young master, by the way, I have one more thing to tell you."

"What's the matter, say."

Lu Yan said lightly.

"Lord Mao seems to be planning to promote Gan Fei and Li Jingxian to be the president of Qian."

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but stop.

It is not surprising that Mao Wenlong promoted Li Jingxian to the rank of Qian Zong, Lu Yan, because Mao Wenlong did this in history.

Mao Wenlong's generosity is surprising, the fisherman Li Jingxian just listened to some news for him, and promised to help him spy on the news, he was added to the general manager, Li Jingxian's luck is enough to make countless people envious.

Lu Yan estimated that Mao Wenlong wanted to buy bones, and now Mao Wenlong's subordinates are outnumbered, only more than 200 people, and if they want to play a role in containing the Jurchens, they must have a large number of local people to take refuge.

But the news of Mao Wenlong's promotion of Gan Fly to Qian Zong surprised him, and he didn't expect that his subordinates would be bigger than him just after participating in a battle.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Lu Yan smiled faintly.

"But that Li Jingxian didn't make any credit at all, why did he become the president of Qian together with Gan Fly."

Zhang Xiaoyi said unconvinced.

The ability of the sugar fly is witnessed by everyone, and perhaps his credit yesterday was not enough to promote the president.

But all the people have only one word for his ability, and that is to serve!

Everyone thinks that Gan Fei is qualified to serve as the general manager of Qian, and some people even think that this matter can be comparable to Xue Rengui, who was promoted to the battlefield in Goryeo by Tang Taizong when he was promoted to the battlefield, as a guerrilla general.

If it gets out, it's a good story.

People will praise Mao Wenlong for his insight into British materials and his ability to select materials for the country.

But who is Li Jingxian? What credit did he make? What talent does he have?

I'm afraid that everyone will think that he was promoted to President Qian by Mao Wenlong after taking shit luck, and no one thinks that he is worthy of the position of President Qian.

"Childe, you followed Master Mao in Guangning, yesterday your subordinates Gan Fly and Mo Rigen also made great contributions, but now Childe, you are only a hundred presidents, which is too unfair."

Zhang Xiaoyi continued to complain.

But Lu Yan could see the raging jealousy in his eyes, and he knew that Zhang Xiaoyi must be jealous.

But he also understood his feelings, in fact, let alone him, even he was a little jealous of Li Jingxian's luck.

Li Jingxian is even more exaggerated than the protagonists of many novels in later generations, this is a step to the sky.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's not good for others to hear it. Master Mao intends to do this, there will definitely be his considerations, we just need to do our part. ”

Lu Yan said.

This Li Jingxian finally became the official of the capital, and he was also loyal to Mao Wenlong, and he didn't want to offend people for nothing.

Seeing that Lu Yan was a little unhappy, Zhang Xiaoyi had no choice but to shut up, but he still muttered quietly, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Li Jingxian.

Lu Yan was lying lazily on the beach, enjoying this rare leisure.

Watching flocks of seabirds fly over his head made him feel extremely relieved.

It was at this moment that he heard a drum beat from the island.

"What's going on? Is there another war? ”

Lu Yan said with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, this is a drum and a tent, it is often performed in dramas."

Zhang Xiaoyi said.

"It's not good, let's go back quickly, otherwise it's not good to be late."

After saying that, he rushed towards Hu Kebin's mansion, which of course had become Mao Wenlong's residence.

After coming to the living room of this big mansion, Lu Yan found that Mao Wenlong was sitting in the middle of the hall with a solemn face, but it could be seen from the corners of his slightly pursed mouth that after yesterday's big victory, Mao Wenlong was in a very good mood.

Some of his cronies have already arrived here, and Gan Fei and Li Jingxian are among them.

After Gan Fly saw Lu Yan come in, he gave Lu Yan a smile.

Lu Yan nodded, then chose a back seat and sat down.

Lu Yan glanced at Li Jingxian and found that his face revealed a joy that could not be concealed, and it was obvious that Mao Wenlong's promise made him ecstatic.

From a small bow to a thousand presidents in one fell swoop, this is a good thing that I don't know how many people can't grab the head, and this kind of opportunity is definitely less than the high school champion.

Having lived at the bottom of society for a long time, he was already full of desire for power, and even though he knew that this would attract the hostility of many people, he still decided to seize this opportunity.

It didn't take long for the generals under Mao Wenlong to arrive.

Of course, although these people are now said to be generals, and their official positions are quite scary, everyone has very few small soldiers.

After seeing the arrival of the personnel, Mao Wenlong smiled slightly, and then said: "In yesterday's battle, although the enemy was not strong, all the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the officials all saw it. Since the Governor has given the Governor the right to make decisions on the spot, the Governor has decided to reward you for your performance yesterday. ”

Hearing this, everyone was in high spirits, and it turned out that they were rewarded for meritorious deeds.

"Yesterday's greatest credit was the Sugar Fly, the Sugar Fly killed more than a dozen enemies with the power of one person, and frightened the enemies to flee one after another, and its credit is obvious to all, so the official decided to promote the Sugar Fly to the head of the thousand."

Mao Wenlong said with a smile.

Listening to his words, some people were surprised, some people were flat, and some people smiled.

"My lord, Mr. Lu Bai's parents have been very kind to me, and I once vowed to protect him for the rest of my life, and I am afraid that I will not accept this reward."

Sugar Fly stood up and said.

Hearing this, everyone burst into discussions, this is the position of President Qian, he didn't accept it, didn't he like high-ranking officials?

"Your problem has been considered by the official, and the official has decided to transfer President Lu Bai to your command, you can guard him nearby, are you willing?"

Mao Wenlong said with a smile.

In fact, he had already breathed through the air with the Sugar Fly yesterday, and he already knew what the Sugar Fly was thinking.

"This ......"

Sugar Fly hesitated for a moment.

He glanced at Lu Yan and found that Lu Yan nodded.

He would never doubt the loyalty of the Sugar Fly, and the forces controlled by the Sugar Fly were also his forces, and of course he would not block their path to promotion.

Yu Ganfei said, "Thank you for your kindness, and I agreed." In the future, he must fight bravely to kill the enemy in order to repay the grace of the adult. ”
