Xue Liangchen lowered his head and said in a low voice: "What the eldest brother taught is that Liangchen remembers!" ”

Xue Liangyun patted the second brother's shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go over quickly!" Today you are the right corner, and everyone who comes is coming for you, so I will leave the affairs in this backyard to me, and you have to do the things in front of you! ”

"Thank you, big brother!"

More than ten square tables were set up on the flat ground in front of the main hall of the Tang family, and there were more than 100 people sitting full, all of whom were fierce men, and many of them had weapons and bows next to them, not like they were coming to a banquet, but like a gathering of bandits.

The dishes on the square table include meat and fish, and although the sake is only a village brew, the taste is also very thick, and it is not an ordinary thin sake. Although Anyang was close to Beijing at that time, it could be regarded as a wealthy area. But the surname of the northern people is Chun, and the average middle-class family can often get some meat a year down, that is, during the New Year's Day, like this kind of food, even a big family like the Xue family may not be able to eat it a few times a month, let alone such good wine. The wealth of these people who came to the family was uneven, and most of them were not as good as the Xue family, if they had been chewing on the case in peacetime, they would have drunk it heavily, but although everyone was eating with their heads bored today, few people drank the wine, as if they were waiting for something.

At this time, Xue Liangchen walked out, followed by Zhou Ping, and he said loudly to everyone: "Today, I said that the seller is in front of Bo, Xiao Ke is here to see the salute!" With that, he bowed his hand to the crowd.

"I can't afford it!"

"Erlang is very polite!"

The crowd replied in a hurry, and they all got up and returned the salute. Zhou Ping in the back looked at it coldly, and secretly thought that his move of "retreating as advance" was right, most of these people came from Xiangzhou counties, and even from the next state and county, all of them were famous for their bravery, if they changed themselves, I was afraid that it would be good to be able to come to a third. At this time, Zhou Ping suddenly found that there was a table of people still sitting in the courtyard, which was particularly eye-catching among the people who got up to return the salute. Seeing this, Zhou Ping frowned slightly, walked to the steward's side, and asked in a low voice, "Who is sitting at that table?" Good life! ”

"Tell Zhou to inspect it, the one headed by is an archer from Xiongxian County, named Li Cheng."

"Xiongxian, why did you come here?"

The person in charge of the matter inquired and said with a smile: "So that the inspector knows that this guy has a sister who married to Xiangzhou, and he happened to come to visit relatives, and when he heard about this matter, he went straight over!" ”

Zhou Ping nodded, but the suspicion in his heart was even stronger, if it was according to what the steward said, this Li Cheng should have come alone, but looking at the people at that table looked like looking up to him, what was going on?

At this time, Xue Liangchen had already made it clear that he was going to Jeju to arrest the Song Jiang group of thieves, and solemnly took out the state soldier and horse detention from his bosom and unfolded it to everyone, and said loudly: "Brothers, as the saying goes, 'learn literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family', brothers can hold strong bows and ride inferior horses, how can they be old under the household and die with the grass and trees?" Why don't you go to Jeju with a certain family, serve the imperial court, and then Bo a wife and a shadow son, and shine on the lintel? ”

"Erlang said it well!"

"That's what Xiao Ke is here for!"

The crowd immediately erupted in a chorus of echoes, and seeing that things were going so smoothly, Xue Liangchen's face showed a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, someone said in a loud voice: "Erlang of the Xue family, there is a sentence in a certain family that I want to ask first, I don't know whose name is on the prisoner of soldiers and horses in this state?" ”

The courtyard immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes suddenly gathered to the person who spoke, only to see that the person who was born with a swallow jaw and a tiger's forehead, two cheeks and a beard, and a burly body, still sitting at the table and raising a glass to drink, it was Li Cheng from Naxiong County.

Xue Liangyu was the youngest and had the hottest temper, and when he saw Li Cheng like this, he sneered: "Naturally, it's my second brother, who are you?" Not convinced? ”

Li Cheng looked up at Xue Liangyu, and the two eyes were like cold electricity, and the person who was swept over instinctively let go, he put the wine glass on the table, and stood up: "This complaint is issued by the imperial court, and the official family can give it to whoever he wants, I am just an archer, and what is there to be unconvinced." It's just that Song Jiang is famous for the two rivers, but he is not a mediocre person, if he is a wine bag and rice bag leader, wouldn't he give away his surname in vain? ”

Xue Liangyu was even more angry when he heard this, reached out and pulled out the saber two inches and put it back in the sheath, and said coldly: "Whether it is a wine bag or a rice bag, you will know as soon as you try it!" ”

Li Cheng sneered: "Huangkou Xiaoer, what are you doing with your sword, could it be that you can kill people with this knife?" ”

"Thieves kill talents!" Xue Liangyu drew his knife and was about to step forward, but Xue Liangchen stretched out his hand to hold it, clenched his fists and asked: "This brother, if you have anything to say directly, Xue will naturally be honest." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then his tone became stern: "But if you are here to find trouble, don't you think that my Anyang Xue family is easy to bully?" As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen people came out of the back of the hall, stood with knives, and blocked the door tightly.

Li Cheng was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Finally, there is someone who knows." It's okay, I, Li Chengcheng, asked plainly, the position of the state soldier and horse prison is yours, and I won't fight with you, but what about other subordinate official positions? It's not difficult for me Li Cheng to condescend to others, but what I need is a real man, a good man! ”

After Li Cheng finished speaking, the audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Xue Liangchen. Several young men were already eager to try, wanting to come out and give this stranger a little color, but the master had not spoken yet, so it was difficult to get ahead.

"This Brother Li!" Zhou Ping walked out from behind Xue Liangchen and sang with a smile: "Brother Li, you keep saying that you are a true hero and a good man, and you must also have the ability." Maybe Xiao Ke will go over it and take out today's examination school first, so that everyone can try it too. Speaking of this, Zhou Ping patted his palms lightly, and took out a bow, a pot of arrows, a set of linen clothes, and a saber from the back of the hall. Zhou Ping pointed to those things and said loudly: "As this Brother Li said, this time I went to Jeju to get thieves, and I didn't raise wine bags and rice bags. This is the question of the school, put on this sackcloth, climb over the low wall to come in, and then use this bow to shoot the target, four out of three! After finishing speaking, Zhou Ping's gaze turned to Li Cheng, and the meaning of the moment was not asked.

"Humph!" Li Cheng sneered, walked to the sackcloth and mentioned it, his face changed slightly, it turned out that this sackcloth was specially made The mezzanine inside was filled with iron sand, weighing fifty catties, and it was heavier than wearing two layers of leather armor on the body, which was obviously used to train soldiers to fight in armor. Li Cheng didn't speak, put on the sackcloth three times and twice, turned around and walked outside the low wall next door, took a deep breath, rushed to the low wall and flew over the low wall, his skills were light and swift, as if he was empty. Then Li Cheng drew his knife and cut off the bamboo target, picked up the bow and arrow, aimed at the arrow target sixty steps away, and fired four arrows in a row, except for the third arrow that deviated a little from the red heart, the other three arrows all hit the red heart. Li Cheng glanced at Xue Liangchen and Zhou Ping, put the bow and Mai back in their place, and stepped aside.

Zhou Ping said with a smile: "This Brother Li is really a good skill, I don't know which brother is willing to come up and try his skills?" ”

At this time, a few more people in the hall came up to try their skills, these people are far from Li Cheng's ability, only four or five of the ten people can cross the low wall at most, and the remaining several are eliminated by the archery level, and in the last hundred people, there are less than twenty who can pass the test, all of them are famous gunners and shooters in Anyang and even Xiangzhou, Xue Liangchen couldn't help but nod secretly, and he was really a famous man under the fame.

Zhou Ping frowned more and more on the side, it turned out that he didn't see Yue Fei among these people. Because Yue Fei was a tenant in the Han Mansion, he just asked Xue Liangyu to send a message for him, but he didn't expect to see anyone today. He turned around and grabbed Xue Liangyu and asked, "Liangyu, why didn't Pengju come?" Didn't you bring the message? ”

"Yue Fei went back to his hometown, it seems that something happened at home, don't you know?" Xue Liangyu asked in surprise.

"Something's wrong?"

"Yes, I heard that my mother was sick and went home to take care of it!" Xue Liangyu replied: "He is also unlucky, he has missed such good things." ”

"Then do you know where Yue Fei's hometown is?" Zhou Ping asked anxiously.

"I don't know!" Xue Liangyu shook his head: "A Tianke from other places, who knows." Brother Zhou, it's enough to have us here, there is no shortage of him! ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Ping nodded, he wanted to take this opportunity to take this opportunity to take the future King of Wu'e into his pocket, but he didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, Jeju had already come to urge him several times, and he couldn't delay, and he didn't know Yue Fei's specific address, it seemed that he was going to miss it this time.

"In that case, how about you go back and pack your bags first, and then gather here in two days and go to Jeju together?" On the stage, Xue Liangchen said loudly.

"Obey Lang Jun's orders!"

Soon, the more than 20 people who were selected left to go home to pack up, and the rest stayed to eat and drink, but Li Cheng remained on his desk. A person beside him asked in a low voice, "Brother Li, why are you so good at talking, so you let go of that Xue Erlang?" ”

Li Cheng snorted coldly and didn't answer, and only after half a sound did he whisper: "Then do you know where the test just now came from?" ”

"I don't know."

"This is the method of selection and testing of the soldiers in the Western Army, and the back army around the Great Kind of Economic Strategy is selected and trained in this way!"

"Really?" The man's face changed suddenly, it turned out that this Wei originally meant a wine jug, and the back Wei army was the one who carried the wine jug for the commander, so he was naturally the general's cronies. At that time, the Western Army was an elite soldier, the first in the world, and the people who could guard beside the famous generals of the Western Army, I am afraid that even the royal classes could not compare. Weber is poor and greedy for money, and readers who think the book is good will give rewards, evaluation votes, recommendations, etc., and it would be better if he could recommend it to his peers! If the results are good, the author can be more motivated!
