Chapter 49: Zong stayed behind to give food

It was said that Yue Fei thanked Wednesday Wei, got up to say goodbye, and Wednesday Wei sent him out of the door, saying cherished to each other.

When Yue Fei and the others returned to the apartment, it was getting late. Jiang Zhenzi sent the food upstairs, and Yue Fei instructed: "Brother Jiang, tomorrow is the fifteenth, and the three-year exam will enter the venue tomorrow, we will set off before dawn, and you can prepare the meal for us." ”

"Uncle Yue, don't worry, there are still some ministers in our store who will also enter the examination room tomorrow, and we will work overtime to prepare tomorrow's food for you tonight, so we won't miss your time." Jiang Zhenzi said.

"Just earlier." Yue Fei said.

The brothers had dinner, chatted for a while, and went to bed early.

At the fourth watch, Jiang Zhenzi went upstairs to urge everyone to get up and freshen up and prepare to leave. The brothers got up and freshened up, and ate breakfast, and each dressed neatly. Tang Huai's white robe and silver armor, Zhang Xian's green robe and gold armor, Wang Gui's red robe and gold armor, Niu Gao's iron armor, only Yue Fei was still wearing the battle robe given by Zhou Dongxiang. The five brothers left the store and got on the horse, Jiang Zhenzi packed the noon snacks prepared in advance, and fumbled and put them in Niu Gao's saddle. Then he instructed the shopkeeper to lead the way in front with a lantern. Before leaving, Boss Jiang Zhenzi carried a tea tray with fruits and wine in accordance with the practice in Xiangzhou.

"Everyone, a glass of wine and some fruit before you go will bring you good luck. Uncle Yue grabbed a champion and came back, and everyone else also won fame and glory. Jiang Zhenzi said.

"Thank you for the store's affection, I can't thank you enough." Yue Fei took the lead and drank three cups, and the rest of the people also won three cups. After drinking, the brothers thanked the shopkeeper and rode away.

The shopkeeper led the way in front of the lantern and came to the outside of the school, and the shopkeeper said: "Everyone, the rules of the imperial court martial arts examination are very strict, and idle people can't enter, so I can only send you here, I wish you a successful start and success." I took my leave under it. The shopkeeper said goodbye and left.

When the brothers entered the school grounds, they saw that the people from all provinces came first, and those who arrived last, and they were crowded and crowded.

"Wow, it's so hilarious! So many people came to grab the champion. Niu Gao exclaimed.

"The champion belongs to the eldest brother, and no one wants to take it away." Wang Gui said.

"Brothers, there are too many people here, let's look elsewhere." Yue Fei said.

"What the eldest brother said is very true, let's find a quiet place to nourish our spirits first." Zhang Xian proposed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yue Fei then led the brothers through the crowd and came to the back of the martial arts hall, and stood for a while, but there was no movement. Niu Gao remembered that when he went out, the store put something on his horse, and he didn't know what it was, so he took it out and opened it to see that it was some steamed buns and beef.

"This boss Jiang Zhenzi is really a good person, he knows that I eat a lot, so he prepared so much food for me. Wait a while, it's going to be a martial arts competition, how can you have time to eat, it's better to eat now, save remembering. Thinking of this, Niu Gao quietly took it out and ate it, and after a while, he ate it all.

After a while, Wang Gui felt a little hungry, so he asked Niu Gao to have some snacks to eat.

"What's the matter, Boss Jiang didn't prepare it for you?" Niu Gao asked in astonishment.

"Don't you know that all the snacks prepared for us are packed and put on your horses for us to eat?" Wang Gui asked.

"I thought everyone had it, and I ate all those snacks." Niu Gao said.

"You're fine, your stomach is bulging, and you are starving. How can you have the strength to compete if you are not full? Simply you can get this champion. Wang Gui said.

Niu Gao smiled, which can be regarded as an apology.

"Big brother, how about not having anything to eat now?" Wang Gui was anxious.

"Brother Wang, don't say it again, if you let others hear it, you will laugh at us again." Yue Fei said.

Wang Gui had no choice but to endure it.

"Niu Gao, we are all brothers, do we have others, when eating, we should say hello to our brothers, why only care about ourselves and others?" Yue Fei said angrily.

"Big brother, it's just that I'm simple-minded and didn't think of this layer. This time, I remembered, next time I will give my brothers what to eat. Niu Gao said embarrassedly.

The brothers stayed behind for a long time, and suddenly heard someone shouting, "Where is Yue Pengju?" ”

Niu Gao listened, and replied loudly on tiptoe: "Here." ”

The man heard it and came this way.

In the blink of an eye, I saw a military master leading the way in front, and two people carrying food baskets came over behind.

"Why is Xianggong Yue standing here? The villain is looking for you so hard. The villain is the person who stayed behind in the yamen, and on the order of the eldest master, he came to send wine and food to satisfy your hunger. The military master said.

Wang Gui happened to be hungry, and when he heard the words of the military master, he was very happy.

"The eldest man is really a good person, he gives us charcoal in the snow." Wang Guixin said happily.

Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui ate unceremoniously, Niu Gao looked at them and said, "Let you eat enough this time, you can eat my share." ”

"You ate the snacks of the four of us alone, and you can't eat them either." Wang Gui said with a smile.

Yue Fei saw that the brothers were eating happily, and he also ate some snacks.

"Master Lao Jun brought a message to the left-behind adults, Yue Fei and others thanked the adults for their food, and they should do their best to participate in the competition, and never disappoint the high expectations of the adults." Yue Fei said to the military master after lunch.

The military master agreed, and packed up the food basket with two entourages and carried it back to resume his life.

It was dawn, and the heroes from all provinces had already arrived, and I saw Zhang Bangchang, Wang Duo, and Zhang Jun, the three chief examiners, enter the school and sit down in the martial arts hall. After a while, Zong Ze also arrived, went to the martial arts hall, and sat down after saluting the three chief examiners. The attendant brought tea, and the four examiners chatted while drinking tea.

"Can Yue Fei and others, the protégé of the Sect Master, fill out the form?" Zhang Bangchang asked.

"How did Master Zong say this? Yue Fei and the others were all martial artists who came to take the exam, just like everyone else. Zong Ze said.

"Isn't Tang Yin's Yue Fei a protégé of an adult? The adults sent him wine, food and food, and cared for him, which was obvious to everyone. Zhang Bangchang said.

When Zong Ze heard this, his heart fluttered, and his face became red. He didn't know how to answer Zhang Bangchang.

"Zhang Bangchang and others received the gift of King Xiaoliang, and they must do their best to help King Xiaoliang win the champion, the three of them are united, and I am alone. What am I going to do? It is our duty to select merit talents for the country, so how can we bend the law for personal gain? Thinking of this, Zong Ze said confidently: "The martial arts examination is the great ceremony of the country, and the purpose is to select talents for the country, how can it be favoritism?" The four of us were appointed by the emperor to serve as the chief examiner, and we should fulfill our duties, and before we start the exam, we might as well swear to the gods and show our hearts. ”

Zhang Bangchang and the others were speechless when they heard this.
