Chapter 707: Two Tiger Generals
Approaching the warehouse, Ruan Xiaowu instructed Wu Song: "You wait for me here, and I'll bring you something." ”
"There's Senior Brother Lao!"
Ruan Xiaowu is not a bothersome person, he will leave with his legs raised, while Wu Song stares at the surroundings with a solemn face, as if there is a great terror approaching. Sure enough, as he expected, a person appeared behind him. Wu Song was hesitating, did he turn his head to say hello? It's still time to ignore him.
The other party was like an old cat that smelled fishy, and walked over lazily, as if smelling the sweet air, and walked around Wu Song.
When the other party turned to Wu Song, he saw clearly that the other party was an official who looked to be in his fifties, a civil official in a scarlet robe, and a fifth-grade official. It should be Ruan Xiaowu's deputy of the Military Command Bureau, Cai Jing.
Wu Song heard from his senior brother that there are only three civilian officials in the Military Control Bureau, of course, the main person is his uncle Li Kui, and Li Kui has a deputy, Cai Jing, who used to be a second-class officer, and there is also a prime minister's son. They are all Jinshi backgrounds, and the others are not orthodox civil officials.
Of course, according to Wu Song's previous temper, the more noble his status, the colder his reaction will be. This is a gesture to maintain the last dignity of a warrior. How can a groveling person be a first-class martial artist in the world. But Li Kui was not in the scope of Wu Song's snubbing. Li Kui is an uncle! If he doesn't want to deal with Li Kui's life or death, isn't he looking for death?
In case the teacher clears the portal, he has no place to cry.
Besides, Li Kui's deeds have spread in the Royal Boxing Gym.
Not afraid of power - almost angry with the Queen Mother!
Fighting for the country - the battle of Jinmingzhai, Li Kui is the god of war.
Qingtang expands the land for 2,000 miles, which is also in the Great Song Dynasty, if it is in the Tang Dynasty, Li Kui's exploits can even be crowned king. Even if he is not crowned a king, a duke is stable, but in the Great Song Dynasty, it is still almost meaningless.
Li Kui is different in the eyes of martial artists. is not afraid of power, this is called martial virtue; For the country and the people, fighting on the battlefield, without tasting a defeat, this is called martial arts. has both virtue and luck, that is a martial saint.
Cai Jing's flabby eyelids concealed a pair of sharp eyes, he looked Wu Song up and down for a while, quite liked, it was not bad to be a bodyguard for him. is muttering in my heart, how is this guy's kung fu?
"Who are you?"
"Lord Hui, the villain is a disciple of Teacher Zhou Dong of the Imperial Boxing Gym, Wu Song of Qinghe County." Wu Song thought for a while, and added a little guiltily: "Master Li is my uncle." ”
Cai Jing immediately made a solemn gesture of respect, and said in a low voice: "It turned out to be a warrior, I have admired it for a long time!" ”
In the face of the five-grade civil official, it would be false to say that he was not nervous. Wu Song clenched his fists nervously, fortunately, his clothes were very large, and his fists were hidden under his clothes, otherwise Cai Jing would have to run away in fright. What do you mean, to hit someone or what?
But Wu Song couldn't even speak, and when he was embarrassed, he could only smile and show kindness.
But Cai Jing gasped, and said secretly in his heart: "What an ugly laugh." "It's like a nest of melons, cut a few holes, and it looks like a human face from a distance, but it's such a strange human face, but it smiles.
Cai Jing, who originally wanted to recruit Wu Song, immediately shook his head and left.
Wu Song is Li Kui's person, so he doesn't want to recruit it. Otherwise, if Li Kui still wants Wu Song to be by his side, wouldn't he want to grab people from the bureau?
Not long after Cai Jing left, Ruan Xiaowu reported that a large number of things came out of the warehouse.
Said to Wu Song: "Come and help take it." ”
"This is your official uniform, I got you two sets. I took all of this year's items, and when I wore them out, I found a way to do them. Remember, this is a belt, and you can't use jade, rhino horn, ivory, gold and silver for your grade, you can only use copper and iron, and black jade can also be used, but it's not good-looking. Boots are not particular, they can be bought in shops in the inner city. ”
Ruan Xiaowu carefully explained to Wu Song.
Wu Song said strangely: "Senior brother, I have so much money to buy such valuable things as jade and rhino horns?" ”
While saying this, he touched the cyan official robe, which was the lowest-grade official robe in the Great Song Dynasty. But Wu Song touched the official robe with meticulous workmanship and delicate material, and wanted to howl excitedly in his heart.
Ruan Xiaowu squatted on the ground to tidy up things, raised his head and asked, "By the way, where is your knife?" ”
"Bought it!" Wu Song said as a matter of course: "See Uncle Shi, how can you be casual." I went to a ready-to-wear shop and sold clothes, shoes, you can see they all wore on my body. ”
Ruan Xiaowu was unintentional for a while, and said weakly: "Didn't you say that the knife is in the person, and the knife kills the person?" ”
"I guess the knife is about to break!"
"What do you mean?"
"I can't really trust my life on a knife, can I? If it is really broken, you will have to pay for a life for a knife, isn't it unjust? ”
When Wu Song made that vow, he was only poor with the knife. When the knife breaks, he goes bankrupt.
What else can Ruan Xiaowu say, this guy pretends to be high all day long, and refuses many opportunities to be recruited by powerful people in the capital. Of course, the recruitment of the powerful will not be the magnates themselves, but the stewards will choose the people. Naturally, the choice is a good hand at taking care of the home. The registered disciples of the Imperial Boxing Gym, even civilians who do not have military positions and grace status, can also get a good place to stay.
But Wu Song was not happy.
He thinks he is a capable person, how can he be a dogleg?
Of course, there is another reason why these people cannot be admired by him, which is very important. It's not for the official to do it yet.
Ruan Xiaowu didn't want to continue complaining, it was useless anyway. He took out a bag of silver and handed it to Wu Songdao: "This is one hundred and fifty taels of silver, the settlement fee in the yamen." ”
Wu Song swallowed his saliva, ecstatic in his heart, this official is right! knew that there were so many benefits of being an official, so he went to join the army that year.
"Little Fifth Brother, I'm probably the luckiest person in the world, right?"
Ruan Xiaowu didn't have a good breath and snorted coldly: "You, are you still far away?" ”
You are the luckiest person, so what is the little fifth master?
Wu Song was unconvinced and said: "Is there anyone who is more lucky than me?" ”
Besides, compared to them, Ruan Xiaowu still remembers that there was a person who was so lucky: "When the young master was in Yan'an Mansion as a general judge, two people joined my young master and wanted to come to the house to be a housekeeper." ”
Wu Song disagreed and said: "It's nothing, an ambitious man, who will be a housekeeper!" Seeing that Ruan Xiaowu's eyes were not good, he realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said. And Ruan Xiaowu's identity seems to be a long-term follower, similar to that of a family member. Wu Song hurriedly explained: "Being a family member for other powerful people is naturally bending over the powerful, and it is very lowly. But a big hero like Uncle Shi, who can chase him, is a blessing for us. ”
"Count you as a kid." Ruan Xiaowu then said: "One of these two people later followed General Cheng, that is, the second son-in-law of Taishi, General Cheng, the brother-in-law of my young master, and the other followed my young master. ”
"The man with my young master's name is Ruda." When Ruan Xiaowu said this, he glanced at Wu Song and said, "That person is the same as you, he is a drunkard who is greedy for alcohol. ”
"This relationship is good, and I have to meet this good friend for a while." Wu Song said casually.
Ruan Xiaowu snorted coldly: "You are not worthy!" ”
The smile on Wu Song's face froze, and he felt as if someone had inserted a dagger in his heart, and it hurt so much that he couldn't do it. But Ruan Xiaowu said to himself: "Luda has been fighting with the young master for two years, and has been promoted all the way from a sergeant, and now he is the deputy marshal of the infantry army of Qingtang and the general of the fourth grade, you have to give a big salute when you see him, otherwise he can beat your board." ”
Originally, Wu Song thought that Ruan Xiaowu was deliberately attacking him to let him know the rules of officialdom.
But listen, it's not like this!
Jiading, a little pawn, thinking that Li Kui had only been in the northwest for two or three years, Wu Song's intestines were blue with regret, and he beat his thigh and said in annoyance: "I regret that I shouldn't have gone to join the army, if I had followed my uncle two years earlier, I would have made a four-grade general." By the way, didn't the little fifth brother say that there is another person? How's it going? ”
"Dead?"
"Why did you die?"
"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, why can't you die."
Wu Song suddenly said: "It's a short-lived ghost who is unlucky." If I had gone to the Northwest that year, there would have been nothing to do with them. ”
"Bah." Ruan Xiaowu snorted coldly angrily: "I told you, did you regret it?" ”
"Isn't it?"
"Being an official is fate, enter the yamen, don't think about promotion. Do what you can, do your best. Don't take what you can't do, don't make mistakes, it's your duty to be an official. ”
Wu Song is now upright, being an official seems to be different from wandering the rivers and lakes, there are too many doorways. When he left the Military Command Bureau, looking at the number plate in his hand and the key to the house, as well as the huge package and more than 100 taels of silver, he walked on the streets of the capital, and suddenly had a kind of arrogance as the master.
I guess I have to have a good drink, and I'm happy.
Two days later.
Li Kui looked at the result of only two people winning, and asked Shi Wengong: "Why are there only two people?" ”
"Everything else is rubbish, and these two are kind of interesting. One-on-two, and a little troublesome. Shi Wengong said easily, but this guy didn't move like a pine, as if he had grown on the ground. According to Li Kui's understanding of him, this guy should not be easy. Maybe he's even hurt. But Shi Wengong is a guy who wants to save face, and he will never admit that he has made a big mistake.
Li Kui didn't go to recruit martial artists in person, otherwise he would probably have been taken into account by the imperial history. This commissioned Shi Wengong, if you want to say that Shi Wengong is also true, why don't you choose a few more?
Li Kui asked for more than a dozen places from the emperor, and the two in front of him, plus Wu Song, were only three, and less than half of the candidates for the Thirteen Taibao were selected. However, Ruan Xiaowu can give him a place, but there are only seven no matter how you count it, which is too little. Pull it out, there is no momentum at all.
But Shi Wengong was very stubborn, and he said coldly: "Everyone else is waste. Don't worry, my lord, they are very good, I tried it for you. ”
Wu Song, who was standing on the side, shrank his head slightly, rejoicing in his wit. Otherwise, he would inevitably be severely beaten by the second senior brother. In the Royal Boxing Gym, he was not afraid of anyone, even Zhou Tong was only respectful, not afraid. But in the face of Shi Wengong, Wu Song still couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.
This second senior brother of his, he has never known how to restrain himself.
The beautiful name said: "The battle between martial artists must be a fight of life and death, how can you keep a hand, this is the neglect of the opponent." ”
Looking at the two people standing under the hall, their faces were a little uncomfortable, the fat man like a mountain of meat, his body was blue and purple, and he was quite embarrassed. The man on the side is not easy either.
Li Kui looked at Cai Jing and asked, "Yuan Chang, will you choose one?" ”
Cai Jing look at this, look at that.
finally pointed to the man who looked like a javelin, and said to Li Kui: "Bureau, this person follows me!" ”
"Okay, what's your name?"
"Back to the adult, the villain Luan Tingyu."
Luan Tingyu? Li Kui regretted it a little, he felt that he shouldn't be so generous. Fortunately, the meat rots in the pot, and it is not a loss. nodded and said: "Luan Tingyu, in the future, you will be the captain of my Military Command Bureau, what are your requirements?" ”
"It's up to the adults to call the shots."
"In that case, Chief, you take him with you. He will protect you from now on. Li Kui agreed: "What's your name?" ”
Li Kui's gaze crossed Luan Tingyu and asked the embarrassed fat man. The fat man is tall and big, standing in the crowd like a mountain of meat, and he looks very good. It's a pity that he was embarrassed by Shi Wengong's bullying, and he was worried that if he failed to join the Military Command Bureau, he would lose face.
Obviously, his strength is not as good as Luan Tingyu, especially in the face of Shi Wengong, his feet are slow, his dodge is poor, and every strength fist can threaten Shi Wengong. In the face of Shi Wengong's fist, he can use a body of fat to carry it, it hurts!
At this time, it was the time when his self-confidence was hit to the extreme, and when he heard that Li Kui was going to keep him, he immediately bowed down gratefully and said, "The villain is anxious." ”
"Alright, you will also be a member of my military command bureau in the future. Our Military Command Bureau is in the capital, except for the emperor and the prime minister of the Metropolitan Hall, no one needs to give face, and don't fall into the name of our Military Command Bureau in the future. ”
Li Kui gave two instructions and left.
He wanted to test the methods of these two people in person, but his boxing skills were not as good as Shi Wengong, and if he used the blade, it would be too impersonal, so he would give up.
Besides, they are all famous and surnamed men, Luan Tingyu will not talk about it, and Jiao Ting is also a good hand.
After Wu Song got off the yamen, he returned to the courtyard issued by the Military Command Bureau, but before entering the door, he was still in the alley, and found that the fat man named Jiao Ting blocked his way.
The other party said with bad intentions: "This brother, I am a useless person who is said to be fat and a ball, let's chat?" ”
Wu Song thought it was a person, and suddenly said with a rainbow: "You were taught a lesson by my senior brother during the day, but I didn't expect to dare to bump into you and be beaten, I really admire you?" ”
"Really?"
Suddenly, a person behind Wu Song spoke, and said in a rather unkind tone: "Your senior brother is very strong, although Brother Jiao and I can't win." But he didn't have a good time. As for you, you can only play tricks, but I want to see how good you are. ”
"Brother Luan, let the junior brother deal with him."
Wu Song saw that he couldn't be good, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the other party to speak, shook his shoulders and punched Jiao Ting.
"Good time." Jiao Ting greeted him, and within thirty moves, Jiao Ting shouted: "Brother Luan, the idea is piercing." ”
It would not be easy for Wu Song and Jiao Ting to fight, if Luan Tingyu's methods were not much worse than Jiao Ting's, he had a hunch that he would be unlucky. immediately shouted: "Everyone is in the same way, and they don't talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes!" ”
"If we don't talk about it, we want to get angry!"
Jiao Ting and Luan Tingyu said in unison. There is a way of new hatred and old hatred, the two of them sprinkled their resentment against Shi Wengong on Wu Song, they have no shame at all, anyway, they are senior brothers, and those who are junior brothers have suffered for their senior brothers, they are all the same.
