Chapter 142: Three Big Roast Chickens
The little beggar wiped the oil and dust on his hands on his clothes: "This cloth bag monk is a great god, and I am just a flower child, which cannot be compared." When I was a child, my parents died and I wandered around, but I finally settled in this temple and learned martial arts for a few years......"
Gong Changyu suddenly caught a glimpse of the little beggar's arms and his own, and thought, this little beggar knows martial arts, why didn't I see it. He held his chin and paced up and down the edge of the altar, examining the little beggar without saying a word for a long time.
The little beggar sitting by the fire saw Gong Changyu's strange expression, stood up suddenly, and reached the statue of Maitreya Buddha with a side flip, he moved his muscles and bones at will, twisted his body that was not and sturdy, and then operated his qi and shouted "Humm-"
I saw the little beggar grasp the neck and feet of the bronze statue of Maitreya Buddha with both hands, raise it above his head in one go, his face did not change his color, and his heart did not stop, and he insisted for a while before slowly putting it down, and then meditated cross-legged in the original position of Maitreya Buddha on the altar, closed his eyes and recuperated.
Wow, this kid is born with divine power, he can lift it alone, it's incredible! Gong Changyu was stunned, the Buddha statue weighed four or five hundred pounds, right?
"Big brother, do you want you to lift this bronze Buddha statue?" The little beggar suddenly opened his eyes and asked, his eyes full of anticipation.
A bronze statue of Maitreya Buddha needs six young and strong men to carry it to the altar, and there is no one who cannot lift this Buddha statue with extraordinary arm strength.
Gong Changyu knew that he was a few catties and a few taels, and the salt was only 200 catties at most, which was that the whole body was under pressure, and when he usually practiced the stone lock in the Zhujia compound, the heaviest did not exceed three hundred catties. You can't be too embarrassed in front of a little beggar, you just can't lift it, and you have to show your strength, so Gong Changyu didn't reply directly.
"I'll give it a try." Gong Changyu jumped on the altar, grabbed the base of the bronze statue with both hands, and tried to move it, wow, it's too heavy! It was difficult to move, let alone lift it, and after several attempts in a row, Gong Changyu couldn't catch the bronze statue, and finally gave up.
Gong Changyu shook his head, little brother, I only serve you, this general can't shake this bronze Buddha statue.
As soon as he heard that Gong Changyu, who looked like a beggar, called himself a general, the little beggar became interested. Hey, big brother, I said that you, a general, can't even lift a Buddha statue, can you suppress your own soldiers?
"Stinky boy, being a general is mainly to command soldiers, and now it is the world of guns, as a general, you may not be able to win against every one of your subordinates. Even if the battle is won, there is no need to show off force. Gong Changyu took the little beggar by the hand and wanted to pull him up.
Unexpectedly, the little beggar's hand was too strong, secretly and competitively, Gong Changyu pulled him and didn't move. A child is a child, and Gong Changyu doesn't care, after all, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people.
"How did you develop this physical strength?" Gong Changyu admired this little beggar a little.
"Big brother, maybe it's really as you said, I am the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha." So, the little beggar learned from the appearance of Maitreya Buddha, lying on his side, holding his chin with one hand, and happily talked about his life experience.
The little beggar's name is Rong Weishan, and he is not from Baocheng Mansion, but from Dong'an, and he is from the same county as Xi Qitian. When he was five years old, he became an orphan and grew up eating hundreds of meals. The abbot is a hidden warrior monk who takes in the homeless Rong Weishan and teaches Rong Weishan martial arts.
It's a pity that two years ago, the abbot wandered away, and Rong Weishan was kicked out of the temple by the new abbot and started his begging career again. Now that the Blue Wolf Army is attacking Baocheng Mansion and the monks of the temple are scattered, he was able to return to the Shuifu Temple to live and become the temporary caretaker of the temple. When he entered the door, he happened to see Miao Peilin and the others leaving, and when he saw that they had knives and guns in their hands, he hid. After the wolf army left, Rong Weishan entered the Buddhist hall, and then saw Gong Changyu.
After listening to Rong Weishan's narration, Gong Changyu asked, "Why did the new abbot of the temple drive you away?" ”
"Later, I learned that the abbot was not a monk, he was just a leader of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and he preached his ideas in the temple, I was young and ignorant, I contradicted him a few words, was severely beaten by his followers, and then expelled from the temple." As soon as Rong Weishan said about the abbot, his fists were clenched.
The power of the Blue Wolf Army has infiltrated the temple, and it seems that Shi Xianda has been preparing for several years in order to occupy the treasure city. Gong Changyu couldn't help but gasp, "Little brother, why don't you participate in General Xi Qitian's regimental training?" ”
"I still want to play for a few years, and besides, General Xi is not in Dong'an, and I also know the situation of the Jingnan Army." Rong Weishan said with a smile.
Gong Changyu has been in the Jingnan Army for several years and has some understanding of the Jingnan Army's generous salary policy. He tied the short knife tightly on the wooden pillar and told Rong Weishan about the treatment of the Jingnan army.
…… Zhengyong 4.2 taels, Gangyong 3.3 taels, and Changfu 3 taels, is the regular army of the imperial court The salary of the regular army is less than that of the commander of the Jingnan Army, only a quarter to one-third of Jingnan Zhengyong, and the treatment of the battalion officers of the Jingnan Army is incomparable with the regular army officers. The income of a battalion officer includes monthly salary, incorruptible general's silver, and silver reward for military exploits, and the monthly income is not less than 1,000 taels, while the average monthly silver of the imperial court battalion officer is only more than 60 taels at most.
The generous salary policy solved the needs of the soldiers of the Jingnan Army to support their families and parents, so that they could devote themselves to training and war without any worries.
The generous salary attracted a large number of poor villagers and unsuccessful scholars. The recruitment of soldiers in Jingnan Army is often made immediately by calling for 10,000 people, and there are no less than 100,000 conscripts from Jingnan County who are conscripted out of the country to serve in the army. The children of Jingnan County, who enthusiastically joined the army, are an inexhaustible source of soldiers for the Jingnan army, which has been killed and injured in many years of fighting......
"Big brother, then why are you dressed in such tatters?" Rong Weishan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and asked Gong Changyu curiously.
"I'm on a secret mission." Gong Changyu said with a smile.
"Impossible, right? How do I think you look like a pig killer? ”
"It's good that I'm killing pigs, and I don't need to eat rat meat to satisfy my hunger today."
"Big brother, where is your team?"
"I don't have to look at this to tell you."
"Are you still afraid that I won't be able to tell the Blue Wolf Army?"
"I'm going to meet you, of course I have to be careful."
"Since you don't trust me, then I don't need to tell you how to crack the Blue Wolf Army's water camp." Rong Weishan jumped down from the altar, picked up the tools for begging, and walked to the outside of the Buddha hall.
Gong Changyu was dismissive of this little beggar who had never been on the battlefield. Thinking about it again, the three stinkers were Zhuge Liang. He is not very familiar with the area around Tangdukou, and Miao Peilin has already noticed his existence, if he goes to spy on the military situation again, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Blue Wolf Army, it is better to let Rong Weishan go There is a safer.
So, Gong Changyu hurriedly ran out of the Buddhist hall, chased after him, and pulled Rong Weishan's clothes, little brother, what is your strategy to break the enemy?
Rong Weishan smiled but didn't answer, stretched out two fingers, and learned how the rooster crooked a few times. Gong Changyu asked again, it was still the same.
Isn't it just two roast chickens? I'll just give it to you. Gong Changyu immediately understood that this little beggar was conditional.
The two walked out of the Shuifu Temple, walked along the ruined street for a long time, and finally saw an inn, and Gong Changyu ran into the inn.
As soon as the innkeeper saw Gong Changyu dressed in tatters, he stretched out his hand to stop him and warned that those who were not in good clothes were forbidden to enter. The pusher and shoving asked Gong Changyu to get out of the inn.
Damn, you don't want to do business anymore, do you? When Gong Changyu heard this, he shook his hand and gave the shopkeeper a resounding slap.
The shopkeeper ran into the lobby with a hot face, called out five or six guys, and shouted: Stinky Hanako, you are impatient, dare to beat people in the inn!
Oh, you guys, how do you treat customers? Gong Changyu said eloquently.
"It's called Hanako, and the sign at the door is clearly written, and people in disheveled clothes and dogs are not allowed to enter. Won't you be scared by the eyes? A guy with an axe in his hand held his head high.
Damn, you bullshit inn has a lot of rules! Gong Changyu walked out of the door and kicked the sign to pieces.
Then Gong Changyu and Rong Weishan rushed into the store, and we want three big roast chickens, do we sell them or not?
As soon as Rong Weishan entered the inn, the pungent sour smell immediately spread into the air. At this time, the shopkeeper came out, and when he saw two beggars standing in the lobby, he shouted: "Guys, knock these two people who don't know whether they are alive or dead out of the inn, beat me to death, and reward each of them with a tael of silver!"
As soon as he heard that there was silver, the guy with the axe was the first to rush over, and the axe slashed at Gong Changyu's shoulder. Gong Changyu was not in a hurry, intercepted the wrist of the guy holding the axe with his left hand, grabbed the axe with his right hand, and threw it to the wall of the inn with a snort, and then elbowed the armpit of the guy, grabbed his head with both hands and threw it forward, the opponent flew out, fell on his back and fell to the floor, and did not get up for a long time.
Seeing that Gong Changyu's hand speed was so fast, the remaining five people were stunned, but they quickly came back to their senses and pounced together with the Pu knife. Gong Changyu took advantage of the situation to pick up a bench, dancing in the wind, and a guy jumped up, raised a knife and slashed down at the bench.
With a click, the bench immediately broke in two. Gong Chang was horrified, so he had to hold half a bench to resist and keep retreating. He didn't notice that the shopkeeper was behind him, holding a sharp boning knife, and stabbed Gong Changyu in the back with one sword, and blood immediately flowed.
"Oops-" Gong Changyu turned around, only to see the shopkeeper who had blackly done him smiling, and ran upstairs.
Gong Changyu, who was furious, threw the broken stool at the shopkeeper who was going upstairs, and the bench spun and flew towards his back.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper fell down at the staircase because of nervousness, and the bench was close to his scalp, swept over his head, and smashed on the railing, making a loud noise, and the railing was smashed out of a big hole, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he held his head with both hands.
