Chapter 187: Encountering a Good Talent
Watching the two of them move and leap in the field, swords and swords, in fact, the most surprised were the generals under Sun Jian's account. Although he didn't show his voice at the moment, he was extremely shocked by Wang Xu's expression in his heart.
Sun Jian's bravery, they know it very well, although Sun Jian is actually still not going all out, and Wang Xu is still at a disadvantage, but when they think that Sun Jian is in the prime of life, and Wang Xu is still in the period of rapid growth, this is really a bit terrifying. Xiao Sun Ce's eyes flickered, seeing that now, he was already clear about the gap between himself and Wang Xu, but he was extremely unconvinced, although he didn't say anything more, but his unwilling eyes were enough to explain a qiē.
But in fact, Wang Xu, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, was very dissatisfied with himself, and always thought that his martial arts were already the best among the first-class generals. But after this competition, in the face of Sun Jian's fierce knife, it was really difficult to do anything. Although he only uses eight points of strength now, he can feel that Sun Jian has more strength. In his heart, Sun Jian's military force has always been between super-first-class and first-class during the Three Kingdoms period, so in this way, he himself is only considered inferior among first-class generals.
It seems that in the past, when they had a discussion with Dian Wei, several of them took into account their identity as the lord and deliberately showed weakness......
Thinking of these, although the fighting spirit in Wang Xu's heart burst out, he lost interest in this competition and was meaningless. Immediately, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and the sword in his hand turned, "Bell!" "If you have to cut it to the back of Sun Jian's knife, you will already jump out backwards." Sun Taishou, I don't think it's better to stop here, how! ”
"Hahaha...... Good! Sun Jian also knew the same, so he immediately laughed and put away the knife and took a few steps back, and threw the loose pattern ancient ingot knife in his hand to Sun Ben who was not far away. But then he glanced at Wang Xu deeply, and couldn't help but praise: "General Wang's martial arts are really extraordinary!" ”
"Where, in martial arts, it is far worse than Sun Taishou!" Wang Xu smiled and inserted the cadre back into the scabbard, and he did have some respect for Sun Jian from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Sun Jian smiled faintly: "General, don't be humble, you have such skills now, in a few years, there will be few opponents in this world!" ”
"Huh! Mrs. Sun has won the award, there are many strange people in the world, how can Wang Xu He De enjoy this reputation! Wang Xu immediately smiled and said politely.
Sun Jian smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything more. It's just that the two of them have their eyes intersecting, and they have a sense of sympathy. After a long time, Wang Xu bowed his hand and said: "Sun Taishou, the hour is not early, let's take the next step first." ”
Seeing this, Sun Jian shook his head regretfully and sighed: "Hey! There is no good wine or good food in this army, and it is impossible to get a drink with the general, so it is a pity to leave in such a hurry! ”
"Hahaha...... Sun Taishou is really a man of temperament! Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly laughed, and said heartily: "You and I are not far apart, there will be opportunities in the future, even if you don't invite me, I will come to the door to beg for wine, but Sun Taishou should not turn me away!" ”
Hearing Wang Xu's humorous joke, Sun Jian suddenly laughed and said: "What is this, the general can come, it's too late to be happy, how can there be any reason to turn away?" ”
"Huh! Good! That being the case, Wang Xu will come to visit another day. Saying that, Wang Xu suddenly bowed his hand to Sun Jian and the others one by one: "Farewell!" ”
"Farewell!"
In the farewell of Sun Jian and his subordinates, Wang Xu was not verbose, nodded with a smile, then took the reins handed over by Dian Wei, simply turned over on the horse, and left with more than 30 horsemen!
Sun Jian stared at Wang Xu's back for a long time before he smiled and turned his head and said: "This Wang Xu is a young hero, with great ambitions, and is indeed a person worthy of deep friendship. ”
"No!" With the promise of the generals, Sun Jian looked at the direction where Wang Xu was going and fell into deep thought......
"Drive! Drive! "Because they were in a hurry to find a place to stay, Wang Xu and the others hurried all the way on the way back, hoping to arrive at a township they had passed by before nightfall.......
"Dian Wei, what do you think of Sun Jian's martial arts?" Wang Xu, who was running, saw that everyone was very silent, and couldn't help but ask Qi Dian Weilai.
"Very strong! Except for me and General Gao, there is no one in the army who can match it for the time being, even Wen Xiang is worse. Dian Wei had obviously already compared, and as soon as Wang Xu's words came out, he immediately replied.
Hearing this, Wang Xu also nodded in agreement, glanced back at Dian Wei, but asked instead: "Dian Wei, you studied with me before, did you secretly conceal your skills?" ”
"Huh? No! Dian Wei's face changed, and he immediately shook his head.
However, he really wasn't lying, seeing that face, Wang Xu had already understood, and immediately couldn't help but blame: "You still said no, your eyes are all suing me." You made me misestimate my martial arts, and I was almost embarrassed today. Tell me, did you decide to do it yourself, or did someone else teach you? ”
Hearing Wang Xu's reprimand, Dian Wei smiled stupidly, neither refuting nor talking!
Glancing at his appearance, Wang Xu suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head. This Dian Wei is really upright enough, how could he do such a thing with his honest temperament, it is obvious that someone taught him to do this, anyway, it is either Xu Sheng or Song Qian! However, Wang Xu just asked casually, so he didn't care about such trivial matters, and seeing that Dian Wei was reluctant to say, he didn't ask more.
After walking silently for a while, he saw the smoke of the township, and when he led everyone to ride his horse down the official road and walked along the country road. However, when there were still more than 50 meters away from the wooden fence on the outermost part of the township, I saw that many villagers with iron blades or farm tools suddenly poured out of the town, and some even held simple bows and arrows, which were obviously very hostile to their group.
Wang Xu glanced at Dian Wei inexplicably, and couldn't help but step forward and shouted: "Everyone, we are just passing by here, because we see that it is getting late, so we want to spend a night in your place, I don't know why you are facing each other with swords?" ”
But before he finished speaking, he saw several people surrounded by a young scribe in his thirties and walked to the front of the village name, the scribe glanced at Wang Xu and the others carefully, and then said loudly: "Now that you are in trouble, you are holding a sword and wearing battle armor, how can we know what your intentions are?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu reacted at this time, it turned out that he and the others were regarded as bandits. After thinking about it, he already smiled and said: "You don't need to panic, I am Lingling Taishou Wang Xu, I just returned from the front line to investigate the military situation, I just want to spend the night!" ”
When the scribe heard this, he couldn't help but look at him in astonishment, and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "I don't know if there is a certificate?" ”
Where does Wang Xu have any evidence now, even the seals of the Taishou and the thief Zhonglang were left to Xu Shu, who was sitting in Quanling. After hesitating for a long time, he said helplessly: "I really don't have a certificate!" In that case, then I won't bother you, I'll wait for the land to camp for the night. ”
After speaking, Wang Xu turned around and beckoned everyone to leave, but after walking a few steps, he heard the scribe suddenly laugh and said, "Wait! ”
"Oh? What else? Wang Xu suddenly frowned.
But instead of answering immediately, the scribe himself came and looked at the crowd with sparkling eyes. When he walked in front of everyone, he smiled and arched his hand: "General, the lower official is a native rank, and the rude just now is also to ensure the safety of the people, and I hope the general will forgive me!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu was immediately surprised, and immediately said curiously: "Then how can you be sure of my identity now?" ”
"Huh!" The scribe was quite calm, and smiled slightly before answering: "The general's clothes are luxurious, and the armor worn by the soldiers behind him is also fine, so even if he is a bandit, he must be the leader of the big forces." But under normal circumstances, how could a leader appear with more than 30 people? Besides, there is also an army of Sun Taishou and Wang Tingshi not far ahead, so after Zun drove himself to report to his home, Xia Guan actually believed three points. However, it cannot be ruled out that the general and his party may be bandits who want to sneak away, so the subordinate asks you if you have any evidence, and if you say that you have, then you need to make another test. And if you say no, and you say that you want to go, then you can be completely sure of your identity. After all, if you are a bandit, since you will come here, you will have a purpose after all, and you can't just go like this. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but become interested in this scribe, and immediately couldn't help asking: "But if I say that I have a certificate, how will you test it?" ”
The scribe smiled slightly, and immediately replied calmly: "It's not simple, just ask the general to take out the voucher!" ”
"But what if I'm an arrogant man? What if you are not willing to give it? ”
"Then you can't get in!"
"You're not afraid of blaming afterwards?" Seeing that this scribe said that he was cutting the nail and carrying the iron, Wang Xu couldn't help but wonder.
"Afraid! But as a local rank, the lower officials have the responsibility to protect the safety of the villagers! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu had already taken a fancy to this person in his heart, but he still asked curiously on his face: "Then when the district star was entrenched here in the past, you also treated it like this, wouldn't it bring disaster to the villagers?" ”
"At that time, the shape was different, so naturally there was another way to deal with it!" The scribe did not hesitate, and immediately replied with a smile.
"Oh? How to deal with it? ”
"In the confrontation, you only need to influence the leader with kindness and persuade him not to harm the people in the village with words. Then give up money, food and grass, and pretend to be supporters to keep the villagers safe! As he spoke, the scribe let out a long sigh and said a little helplessly: "But after several such plunders, the life of the villagers is also extremely difficult, and I can only save a little life-saving food for the villagers to say good things, and at present I still rely on preventing people from hunting in the mountains." I feel ashamed! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu already attached great importance to this scribe, and immediately couldn't help but praise: "You are a good material, as a small rank, it is too condescending, are you willing to follow me to Lingling and help me ensure the wealth of a county?" ”
Hearing this, the scribe finally lost his composure, and said with wide eyes: "Is the general's words true?" ”
"Now that the words have been spoken, how can there be any reason to take them back?" Wang Xu immediately smiled without hesitation.
The scribe was faintly excited, and was about to answer the order, but his face changed suddenly, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, the lower official may have to lose the general's favor." ”
