Chapter Seventy-Two: Thick-skinned [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
An Zheng didn't wait long in the military department, but he didn't wait for Lord Shilang who was in charge of the affairs of the martial arts department in the military department. When www.biquge.info I met General Wang Kaitai yesterday, he said that Chen Zaiyan, the squire of the military department, would see him in person. Soon after Hao Ping'an left, a general wearing battle armor went to the small garden to find An Zheng and Du Shousan and led them to the martial arts academy to report.
An Zheng and his friends, in fact, also have other choices, there are countless sects in Fanggu City, and they all have deep backgrounds. In addition to these sects, there are also many officially opened academies. Among them, the most famous are the Dading Academy opened by the Great Yan Imperial Family, the Daoist Academy opened by the Sect Management Division, the Ningyuan Sect, the Qingling Sect, the Taishang Dojo and the military's Shangwu Academy.
However, An Zheng chose Shangwu Academy, so Du Shou and they naturally would not choose to go somewhere else.
Speaking of which, the Autumn Cheng Ceremony is a rare opportunity for the disciples of the Han Sect of the Yan Kingdom to come out, but in fact, this opportunity is still extremely slim. Because most of the geniuses who shine with stars in the Autumn Ceremony are from these big sects or academies. Everyone knows that once you succeed in the Autumn Ceremony, you will be recruited by Dayan. No sect can resist this temptation, and it is not as simple as the sect's disciples becoming the pillars of the imperial court that their own sects have a light on their faces.
At the beginning, the Qiucheng ceremony was just a simple selection, because these young talents were quickly reused after entering the imperial court, so all the yamen of the imperial court began to focus on this way of selecting talents.
Because of the continuous war, not only the military department is short of people, but all departments are short of people. And once you join the military, making meritorious contributions on the battlefield is the fastest way to be promoted.
The general in charge of taking An Zheng to Shangwu Academy was called Fang Daozhi, who was not very old, and he looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old. But the armor on his body is clearly telling others that he is a serious and serious general Yingyang.
"The Martial Academy never accepts waste, let alone people who come in through the back door. ”
Fang Daozhi is a cold and indifferent character, and he doesn't seem to care much about other people's feelings when he speaks.
He walked in front, An Zheng followed, and his words always seemed so annoying.
"So I don't have a good impression of you two. ”
Fang Daozhi stood up and looked back at An Zheng and Du Shousian: "You should know very well that the most direct way for those young people to enter the Shangwu Academy is to go to the frontier to fight with the enemy's real swords and guns, and only after accumulating enough military merits will they be recommended by the border army." And for this dream, not one in a hundred people will succeed. There are various reasons for this, the biggest one being that they died in battle before they could accumulate enough military merit. ”
"I don't know why you were able to be directly recruited into the Martial Academy, and you can even ignore the selection process. I believe that the military department is still fair, and I also believe that the Shangwu Academy is still fair, so I force myself to believe that you are superior. However, even so, I feel that you are thieves. You stole a few places from the young people who worked hard at the border. ”
He turned around: "When I'm done, you should be upset, but it doesn't matter. I didn't intend to make you like me, because I didn't like you. ”
An Zheng followed behind and said in a calm tone: "We didn't steal a few places, but robbed them." ”
Fang Daozhi stood up again, and his tone was even more stern: "Then I hope that you can snatch the righteousness and light." ”
An Zheng stopped: "So I don't plan to go to the martial arts academy." ”
Fang Daozhi frowned: "You should know what a crime it is to disobey military orders." ”
An Zheng turned around: "I don't know what kind of crime it is, I just don't want people to poke me in the back." If even the people in the military don't believe in the recommendations of the military, then it's not that you are harsh or that you're cold, but that you're arrogant. I won't change my mind because of someone, even if you're a four-grade Eagle General. I don't go to the Martial Academy now, because I want to give you a few more opportunities for those who want to change their fate, we will go to participate in the assessment, if we rely on our own strength to enter the Martial Academy, I believe you will shut up. ”
As he walked, he said, "Wouldn't it be a good thing for the general if we were eliminated by not being able to come in through the back door, as you said?"
Fang Daozhi stopped An Zheng with a flash, and anger already appeared in his eyes: "Do you know the consequences of doing this, you are flouting the rules of the military department, and you are also disobeying the orders of the military department." ”
An Zheng replied seriously: "Do you know why I want to enter the Martial Academy? Do you think I want to change my fate? No, I entered the Martial Academy just to prove his vision to a person who is already dead." I don't go into the martial arts academy, I can still live a good life. But those border army brothers don't enter the martial arts academy, and there is no possibility of changing their lives. I can compete with them in the open, and of course I won't deliberately lose to anyone. ”
Fang Daozhi didn't understand what An Zheng meant, after all, he hadn't understood Qiu Changchen's matter yet. He is one of the generals who left Tie Liuhuo in the military department, and this time he didn't go south with the army, he was already harboring a belly of fire, and An Zheng's attitude made him more angry.
"If you do this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you according to military law right now?"
He asked.
An Zheng replied: "That can only mean that you are not worthy of staying in the military department, and you are sorry for the eagle and iron armor on your body." ”
Fang Daozhi laughed angrily: "Okay, then let me see what you are capable of, I will wait for you in the examination room of the Martial Academy Assessment." ”
An Zheng and Du slenderly strode forward: "No, you just wait for me on the podium." ”
Du asked An Zheng: "Why do you want to fight against that general?"
An Zheng replied: "First, I don't want people to say that our entry into the martial arts academy depends on relationships. Second, I want to be worthy of Qiu Changchen's recommendation. ”
Du Thin: "Anyway, I don't understand this, you can do whatever you say." But it's really good to be able to rely on your own skills to get in, save being gossiped about, and be able to play tricks with those candidates, it's exciting to think about. We've been practicing in the border city for three and a half years, and it's time to test our strength. ”
The two men left the military headquarters and returned directly to their residences.
Fang Daozhi looked at An Zheng and Du's thin backs, and suddenly smiled: "I hope you two don't forget what you said, sometimes, you always have to prove yourself when you stand up straight and walk." As I said, I don't doubt the fairness of the military department, I just hope that the two of you can walk as straight as you are now, and you are not afraid of being poked by anyone. ”
Hao Ping'an, the secretary of the military department, walked to his side, coughed and said, "I really shouldn't leave you, when will you spread your resentment?"
Fang Daozhi shrugged his shoulders: "My lord, you say, if I go to Southern Xinjiang to fight with the people of Youguo, my military merits should not be less." ”
"Naturally not. ”
"So I stayed in the military department, I won't be given a raise, and I won't be promoted, how can I do it if I don't have a grudge?"
"You are already the fastest promoted person in the Great Yan Kingdom so far. At the age of twenty-four, he has only been in the army for four years, and he is already a general of the fourth grade Yingyang, which has never been seen before. ”
"You shouldn't say that, if General Fang Zhiji allowed me to join the army before the age of twenty, maybe I would already be in the second grade. ”
Fang Dao turned straight and prepared to leave: "So the adults don't plan to invite me to drink to make up for it?"
Hao Ping'an shook his head: "Please, my Yulu has long been used up." ”
Fang Daozhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the military support center in the capital, those soldiers who were seriously injured in the war. Seventy percent of Hao Ping'an's second-class staff was sent to the support center to improve the lives of those wounded soldiers.
Fang Daozhi smiled bitterly: "My Yulu is almost gone, but it just happens to be enough for two pots of wine and a roast goose." ”
Hao Ping'an was serious: "What do you want to roast goose? Three pots of wine!"
It was only noon when An Zheng and Du Shou returned to their residences, and those big men were practicing in the open space. None of these great men were actually disciples of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, because none of them could practice. But An Zheng gave them the most correct way to train their bodies, so their combat power was much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists. The origins of these people are similar, and they are all taken in by An Zheng.
There was no war between Zhao and Yan, but there was friction with Zhuo. These big men are from Zhao, Yan, and Zhuo, all of whom are from poor families who can't get along the border, and they want to fall into the grass and be taken in by An Zheng. They were not evil in nature, and in that environment they had to rob the rich for a living, but they never wanted to hurt anyone. These people can be saved, so An Zheng is saved.
With An Zheng's vision and his means, it is easy to make money. So in the three and a half years in the border city, An Zheng accumulated a huge fortune.
An Zheng said that if a good person wants to be poor and suffer, who is especially willing to be a good person. Therefore, to be a good person, of course, you must have wine, meat, and money to spend, how to be comfortable and how to live.
"Don't go against the sky these days. ”
An Zheng explained: "This is Fanggu City, not a border city or a phantom world, and there are masters here like clouds. Therefore, as long as you use the anti-heaven seal, you may be noticed. ”
Du Shou nodded thinly: "In the past few days before the assessment, I have been able to practice with them." ”
Although he is not very old, he likes to drink with those big men the most, and now Du Thin has an amazing amount of alcohol, and those big men are being put down by him more and more times. He is straightforward and unscheming by nature, and everyone likes to get along with him.
"Go ahead. ”
An Zheng patted Du's thin shoulder: "I will go out to buy a few sheep in a while, and I will roast and eat them in that yard, and I will drink casually tonight." But it's still the old rule, whoever drinks and makes trouble will be disabled directly. Whoever makes a big fuss will be killed. This is Dayan, but I don't do things according to Dayan's laws and rules, I only follow the rules of my Heavenly Apocalypse Sect. ”
Du said thinly: "Okay, you can rest assured." You don't know these guys? No one has done anything like drinking and making trouble. ”
Du said hello and ran to wrestle with those men.
When An Zheng walked to the door of his room, he saw through the window that Qu Liuxi was tidying up the room for himself, folding his clothes, and the bed had been cleaned up. No matter where he lived, the sheets were never washed by the curly flow for more than seven days.
An Zheng wanted to say hello, but he was afraid that Qu Liuxi would blush, so he stood at the door and looked at her quietly. When Qu Liuxi packed up and was ready to leave, An Zheng left first.
Gu Qianye sat on the wall in the distance, carrying a wine jug and swaying her beautiful legs, and then pouted: "It's really troublesome two people, not happy, tired to watch." ”
She jumped off the wall and found Lao Huo leaning against the wall and drinking from a wine jug.
"Master, you're going to scare people to death like this. I don't know how to practice, so why don't I even make a sound when I walk? ”
Lao Huo: "Phew, I walk very loudly, you can't hear it, my mind is over there, blame me?"
Gu Qianye didn't blush, she smiled generously: "Oh, that kid is very handsome, so what's wrong with taking a second look." ”
Lao Huo: "I have drugs, you can put them in the jug and give them to that kid to drink." He's stunned, and it's not up to you to do whatever you want. ”
Gu Qianye: "Master, you are a little disrespectful to the old like this." Even if I want to rob someone with Xiaoliu'er, it is a righteous and bright robbery, how can I use drugs!"
Lao Huo nodded: "I respect you as a man." ”
Gu Qianye leaned forward: "Is there an aphrodisiac?"
Lao Huo: "Ahem......"
He's gone.
Gu Qianye raised his eyebrows: "No matter how old you are, your face may not be as thick as mine." ”
She bounced away, as if she had forgotten her unpleasantness in a blink of an eye.
