In order to wish the prosperity of the family compound, the eldest grandmother Yinyue spent her whole life's energy, accumulated hard work, and died suddenly. Her biggest regret before her death was that she hoped that her sons Rong Sen and Gong Changyu could revitalize the family business and glorify their ancestors, but she couldn't wait for that day, because the sky wouldn't give her this opportunity.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and Gong Changyu couldn't help but burst into tears: "Aunt Yinyue, listen to that...... Someone is singing...... That song you love to listen to. You see, all over the mountains, do you still feel lonely? ”

Yinyue couldn't hear Gong Changyu speak anymore, and she couldn't see the flowers all over the mountains. Gong Chang was outside, Aunt Yinyue was inside, her wish was unfulfilled, and she fell asleep silently in that world, forever.

As a general, Gong Changyu was so sad about Aunt Yinyue's death that he cried like a tearful person. Feng Jiaoer saw Gong Changyu's tender, affectionate and filial side for the first time, and she was even more determined in her thoughts, and swore that Gong Changyu would not marry.

She knows very well that Gong Changyu was born in a poor family in the countryside, and the family has no power or power, and the children of the grassroots class can only work hard by themselves. Although she is the eldest princess of the Blue Wolf Country, she has never liked any man since the death of Xiao Chaodong, the king of Chu, and she fell in love with Gong Changyu, a stupid boy who couldn't read big words, and she didn't know why.

Several of them stood in the tomb for a long time, and they remained silent. Gradually, Gong Changyu's mood calmed down, and he picked a lot of wildflowers on the mountain, red, white, pink, yellow, and purple, and filled the grave until the west was full of colorful clouds, and then he reluctantly left......

The next day, Gong Changyu had breakfast, rode a jujube red horse, and accompanied by the old man Bisheng, he took about 30 men to Tang Siling. coincided with the market there, and thousands of villagers gathered here from the eighteen townships, which made Gong Changyu very happy.

Gong Changyu stood up the armor piercing gun on an open high ground, took off the saber and revolver hanging from his waist, and handed them to Huang Qinggong, the black marshal: "Hei Dashuai, you said this opening remark, how did you start?" ”

"General, I don't know much about this, after all, this is in Rulin County, and the villagers can't understand the Cantonese and Western dialect I speak. Otherwise, I can tell you a paragraph. Huang Qinggong said with a smile, spreading his hands, saying that he couldn't help.

"Old learner, why don't you play a set of boxing techniques to attract those young guys?" The old man Bisheng suggested.

"Grandpa, my boxing skills are not as good as your old man, you are one of the best veterans in our Baocheng Mansion, and as soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is one." Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"Hey, my body bones are not tossed, I'm just afraid that if I use too much force, I will flash my waist, so it's better for you to come." The old man shook his head again and again.

"Grandpa, don't shirk." Feng Jiao'er said persuasively.

"Miss Feng, the old man is old, it's really not good." The old man was happy, "Let's do it, let the old school and the black handsome compete, the old school uses a sword, and the black handsome uses a piercing gun, point to the end, see who is slightly better in kung fu?" ”

"Old man, I'm used to using a musket, and the armor-piercing gun weighs more than 100 pounds, I can't even lift it, so I still don't offer ugliness." Huang Qinggong said.

"Hey, your words reminded me, and we will use this armor piercing gun as a recruiting hardware. Anyone who can lift it with one hand or raise it with both hands will hire him, otherwise no matter how tall he is, we don't want it, and we would rather lack it than use it. Gong Chang suddenly opened up.

"Okay, just do as you say." The old man bowed slightly.

Gong Changyu held the armor-piercing gun in one hand, and played marksmanship in the open space, using all his skills to count the spears for a while, the chain guns for a while, and the horse pistols for a while, pointing, poking, cutting, splitting, and dialing...... The action is powerful and in place, and the drip does not leak. Slowly, there were more and more onlookers, clapping and applauding, and Gong Chang became more energetic.

After playing three hundred and sixty moves, Gong Changyu finally stopped, and threw the armor piercing gun at the black boss: "Fellow villagers, I am Gong Jichang, and I am here today to thank you for your ......support."

"Those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field." An old man with a goatee and oval sunglasses interrupted Gong Changyu's words, "It's another showmanship, an old-fashioned cliché." ”

"Hey, you old immortal, I haven't finished speaking, what are you fooling in?" Gong Changyu crossed his hands and glared at the old man fiercely.

"Yo, isn't this the old Gong who caught loaches in Tangwei Chong? When did you change your name to Gong Jichang again? The old man pushed his sunglasses to his nose, looked at Gong Changyu with wide eyes, and said in a weird manner.

"Don't worry about it, you old immortal! I'm performing martial arts here, it's free, I don't need to give money, just give applause. Folks, come, if you think I'm okay with a big gun, don't be stingy with your applause! Gong Changyu circled around the crowd.

As soon as the onlookers heard that they should not be given money to watch the performance, they were immediately excited, applauded vigorously one by one, cheered, and the atmosphere was stirred up.

"Good, good, good!"

"It's the first time we've seen a free acrobatic show."

"Again, we haven't seen it yet!" ……

As soon as he saw that the appetite of the villagers was aroused, the old man Bisheng immediately stood up: "Everyone, this little grandson of my family came to play with a big gun today and let everyone gather over to tell everyone a good news......" The old man deliberately stopped and did not say any more.

"Congratulations, tell me quickly, what's the good news?" A young man who looked as strong as an ox and wore a hat asked anxiously.

"Oh, there's no hurry." The old man smiled, and he whispered to Gong Changyu, "The opportunity has come, tell everyone about the conditions and related matters of your recruitment." ”

"Okay." Gong Changyu nodded. He took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then took back the armor penetrating gun from the hand of the black handsome: "Fathers and fellow villagers, do you want to be rich and rich?" ”

"Yes!" The people answered.

"Do you want to have a beautiful house?" Gong Changyu asked.

"Yes!" And they said.

"Do you want to go out with a car and a horse?" Gong Changyu asked again.

"Yes!" Everyone spoke in unison.

"Then what are you hesitating about! If any of you can lift this spear of mine with one hand to-day, or raise it with both hands above your head, I will give you more than three taels of silver a month. Gong Changyu grabbed the armor-piercing gun with one hand and easily carried it on his shoulder.

As soon as the words fell, the old man who interrupted Gong Changyu's speech just now took off his glasses and sneered: "Hehehe...... Gong Laoxue, you are so poor, where did you get the money? I think you're bragging, not drafting! ”

Gong Chang was taken aback when he saw the old man deliberately demolishing his platform, and after a closer look, this old man was none other than Dai Mingyu, the housekeeper who gave himself two taels of silver for no reason more than ten years ago!

"Dai Mingyu, Dai Da Butler, I Gong Laoxue doesn't have any silver, your lord will sponsor me a large sum of silver, isn't it okay?" Gong Changyu approached Dai Mingyu and whispered.

"Gong Laoxue, how can you be virtuous, let our master give you money! Phew! Dai Mingyu spat on the ground.

"Butler Dai, I don't have time to worry about you now, when I'm done with things, I'm reasoning with you." Gong Changyu carried the armor-piercing gun and raised his head, "Don't worry, everyone, as long as any of you pass my selection and become a member of my elite battalion, and are willing to fight the Blue Wolf Army with me, I will give you silver!" ”

"Gong Laoxue, you said three taels of silver a month, how much is it?" The offspring who wore the hat said word by word.

"Three, two, four." Gong Changyu replied without thinking.

"Wouldn't it? I worked for the landlord Lao Cai for a year, only 112 taels of silver. Dou Lisheng muttered.

Gong Changyu stood on the ground with the armor-piercing gun, and asked Huang Qinggong to take out two taels of silver from the money bag and hold it in his hand, "Little brother, anything can happen." As long as you raise this big gun, I will pay you twenty days at once!" ”

"You can't afford to pay your bills!" The hat came over, grabbed the armor-piercing gun with one hand, and wanted to lift it, but tried several times, but it was unsuccessful.

He was a little anxious, so he simply threw away the hat, took off his clothes, put the armor gun flat on the ground, spit a little spit in the palm of his hand, rubbed it back and forth a few times, and then took a few deep breaths, squatted down again, clenched the gun with both hands, and shouted, "Hoha-" shouted, and finally raised it, and it was high above his head.

He lasted for more than three seconds before he put down the armor piercing gun, and smiled at Gong Changyu: "I don't believe in evil when I wear a big bull, you can play the big gun with one hand, and I can't lift this gun with two hands!" ”

"Brother Da Niu, good job. Take the money! Gong Changyu smiled slightly, and stuffed two ingots of silver into Dai Da Niu's arms.

"Big brother, I'm not dreaming, right, I just raised the big gun, and you will give me two taels of silver?" Dai Da Niu was ecstatic, "Can I still lift it again?" ”

"Da Niu, you have passed my assessment, don't try again." Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"I'd like to get more silver." Dai Da Niu smiled.

"At noon three days later, you will report to the Zhu family compound in Tangwei Chong, and there must be no mistake." Gong Changyu patted Dai Da Niu's two pectoralis major muscles.

"Yes. Eldest brother. Dai Da Niu held the silver high and shouted, "Folks, you all come and try it, raise the big gun, this big brother will give the silver!" I got the silver, do you see? ”

When the juniors in the crowd of onlookers saw that Dai Da Niu had really gotten the silver, they all turned red and came up to try one after another, wanting to lift (lift) the armor-piercing gun and get the silver taels advanced.

Helplessly, most of the people did not have enough strength, so they had to retreat in the face of difficulties, and there were exactly 30 qualified people among the hundreds of people. Gong Changyu only spent sixty taels of silver, and it would be good to recruit one-third of the troops. Gong Changyu asked Feng Jiaoer to make a roster and prepare to call it a day and return to the Zhu family's compound.

After only walking a few steps, Gong Changyu saw that Dai Mingyu was still standing on the side and did not move, which was very strange. Unexpectedly, Dai Mingyu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Gong Changyu: "Gong Laoxue, are you a general now?" ”

"Butler Dai, am I a general, what do I have to do with you?" Gong Changyu was not angry.
