Chapter 393: Add another disciple
Wang Cheng looked solemn and asked the shopkeeper: "Do you know who left the letter from the old man?" ”
"This little old man doesn't know! The person who left the letter was a master, and Xiao Lao'er didn't even see his face, only heard him ask Xiao Lao'er to hand over the letter to you. The shopkeeper said.
Obviously, the person who left the letter didn't want Wang Cheng to know his identity.
"Thank you, old man!"
Wang Cheng arched his hand, and the shopkeeper also retreated with interest.
"Lingzhou is dangerous, diverted to Qinghe ......"
Wang Cheng looked at the words on the letter again, and he couldn't see anything from the handwriting.
One thing he was sure of was that the person who left this letter must have been someone from the past!
This old man should be familiar with him, and even know some of his past, otherwise he would not have been rerouted, because Lingzhou has a peerless enemy of his.
"Adult ......"
Liu Qingsheng pointed to the letter in Wang Cheng's hand, curious about what was written on the letter, which made Wang Cheng's face change.
Wang Cheng didn't explain anything, but said: "Early tomorrow morning, let's change the route to Qinghe and take the waterway!" ”
"By water?"
Liu Qingsheng and the others looked at each other, the route was all planned by them in advance, why did they suddenly change the route?
Several people looked at the letter in Wang Cheng's hand, it seems to have something to do with this thing!
"Actually, I thought about going by water before, and it was faster to go by water." Wang Cheng said with a smile.
"It's good to take the waterway!"
Wu Feilong suddenly spoke: "If you take the waterway, I can still help." ”
Several people looked at Wu Feilong in unison, and suddenly remembered that the person in front of them was the son of the Wu family.
The Wu family, which is known as the "Salt Gang", is a huge force, and it is necessary to use Cao Yun to sell salt on weekdays, so the Wu family itself controls the fleet.
So, as soon as the morning dawned, Wang Cheng and the others diverted to Qinghe County.
Qinghe County is named after the river, and the river is the Qinghe, one of the sections of the big river.
The big river has always been the river of life in this land, it originated from the Tianduan Mountain Range in Huangzhou, and was divided into two sections after entering Yinshan County, one part of which passed through Zhengguo in the shape of "several", and the other end entered Lingzhou.
Because there is a lot of sand in the north of Huangzhou, the big rivers carry a lot of sediment here, but after passing through the diversion of Zhengguo, the sediment in this section of Lingzhou is greatly reduced.
Entering Qinghe County, the original "sediment river" has completely become clear, so this section of the river is called "Qinghe".
Wang Cheng and his entourage of eight people rushed to Qinghe County at almost noon, and after entering the county seat, under the leadership of Wu Feilong, they came to a mansion.
There is a plaque hanging on the mansion with the words "Feng Mansion" written on it.
The door was closed, and after Wu Feilong stepped forward and knocked a few times, a subordinate opened the door.
Wu Feilong said to his subordinates: "Go and inform your family master, Wu Feilong is here." ”
The subordinates subconsciously thought that he was "pulling the banner of the tiger bark tree", but after hearing the word "Wu", he didn't dare to think about it anymore and hurriedly went into the house to report.
Soon, a middle-aged man walked over quickly, and as he walked, he smiled: "Oops! Young master, I want to kill you! ”
He was in his fifties, with hanging eyebrows, small eyes, a typical donkey face, a mouth that seemed to be closed, and his teeth were outward, which was quite joyful.
When Wang Cheng saw this person, there was confusion in his mind, could it be that the famous comedian also crossed over?
"I've seen Uncle Feng!" Wu Feilong arched his hand.
Feng Yuzhang grabbed Wu Feilong's hand, looking at his injured hand, he was still smiling one second, and the next second he was teary-eyed, and he choked up: "Young master, suffer!" ”
"Uncle Feng is serious! Fighting on the battlefield, how can there be no injury? Wu Feilong said with a smile.
He did not tell the truth about his injuries, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The Wu family is strong and rich enough to rival the country, but for the immeasurable view of the number one faction in the world, they also have to bow their heads, which is not a rank at all.
Feng Yuzhang wiped away his tears, showed a smile, and said, "Since you have arrived at me, don't rush back first, stay here for a few days before leaving!" ”
As he spoke, he took Wu Feilong's hand and was about to walk towards the mansion.
Wu Feilong hurriedly grabbed him, and then introduced Wang Cheng who was standing behind him to him.
"Uncle Feng, this is Feilong's top boss, General Wang!"
Feng Yuzhang only noticed Wang Cheng at this time, and hurriedly confessed: "It turned out that General Wang was coming, old Feng was clumsy, he really damned it!" Damn it! ”
As he spoke, he hit himself in the face with his hand.
It was a real fight, and the sound of "popping" made Wang Cheng's heart tremble.
"I can't do it! I can't help it! ”
Wang Cheng hurriedly pulled Feng Yuzhang back, and if he continued to fight, his face would be swollen.
How can this man be so real?
Feng Yuzhang stopped at this time, but there was no slap mark on his face, let alone swelling.
Talent!
Wang Cheng couldn't help but marvel in his heart, he suddenly became extremely interested in this one.
"Let's go!"
Feng Yuzhang took Wang Cheng's hand and said, "Since the adults have arrived at Lao Feng's place, Lao Feng should entertain him, otherwise it will be spread out, how will my Lao Feng walk on the rivers and lakes in the future?" ”
Wang Cheng and the others didn't refuse, they were a little hungry when they were in a hurry, not to mention that they had to use Feng Yuzhang to take the waterway.
So, all the people in the group followed into the house.
Feng Yuzhang walked while arranging for his subordinates to hurry up and prepare the wine and food.
Coming to the hall where distinguished guests are entertained on weekdays, Feng Yuzhang invited Wang Cheng and a few people to sit down.
Soon, a group of maids brought delicious food to the table, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
"When I arrived at Lao Feng, it made no difference if I followed up with my own family, and all the adults were open to eat."
Feng Yuzhang beckoned everyone to eat, and Wang Cheng and the others were not very polite.
After a few glasses of wine, the words gradually began to speak.
For Feng Yuzhang, Wang Cheng also touched a little bit of his details.
This Feng Yuzhang is indeed a talent, when he was seven years old, his family suffered an accident, his father died of illness, and the family relied on his mother to wash clothes for others to earn money.
But in addition to him, there are two younger brothers and a younger sister in the family, how can his mother alone support so many people?
So Feng Yuzhang went to the streets, picking up some vegetable leaves and roots that people didn't want to go home, just like stray dogs, many people called "Feng Dog".
He didn't care about this, when he was teased, he smiled and said to people, "Feng Gou is good!" Dogs are easy to feed! ”
Because of being on the streets all year round, coupled with his own flexible brain, he has learned the ability to observe words and colors, and he has also learned a "clever mouth".
When he was older, he began to mix in gambling houses, teahouses, inns and other places with high traffic traffic, running errands for others, and sometimes doing some "tooth man" work.
Because of his ability to observe words and emotions and that clever mouth, he gradually became a little famous in the local area, and gradually knew the number one "Feng Gou".
He really made his fortune when he was thirty years old, when there was a local merchant who wanted to do salt business, and it happened that Wu Feilong's father was in charge of the salt business in that area, and his excellent eloquence won the love of Wu Feilong's father, so he quickly switched to the other party.
When the opportunity came, he did not hesitate at all and seized it tightly!
Then, it took him more than 20 years to make a leap in identity and status from a follower to a steward, and then from a steward to a general manager in charge of a place.
Today, no one mentions the original "Feng Dog" anymore, and some are just the chief Feng Yuzhang.
"Without the owner, my Feng dog would not be where I am today! The owner is the reborn parent of my Feng dog! ”
Speaking of this, Feng Yuzhang burst into tears.
Smiling, he wiped away his tears and said, "Let a few adults laugh!" Lao Feng, I am a small person. ”
"Smack!"
Yin Bo slapped on the table, and with a bit of alcohol, he shouted at the top of his voice: "What's wrong with the little people?" I'm also a little person, if it weren't for the adults who looked up to me Yin Bo, I would be a centurion now, and I wouldn't have a future! ”
"If there are no small people, where are the big people? The fame, fortune, and exploits of the big people, if they did not have the help of countless small people, they would not be able to rise to power. Liu Qingsheng sighed.
Wang Cheng's expression was complicated, he raised his wine glass, and said, "Mr. Feng's experience is respectable and lamentable!" ”
Then he looked around at others and said, "We are all small people, small people who are unwilling to be ordinary and want to be big people, I believe that sooner or later we can all become big people!" ”
"!"
"!"
……
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Qinghe Wharf.
A two-story boat was docked on the shore, with a large flag erected on the boat, with a black background and yellow face, and a big "Wu" character embroidered on both sides.
Wang Cheng and his entourage stood in front of the boat, and beside them stood Feng Yuzhang and his servants.
"General Wang, the little three treasures will please ask the general!" Feng Yuzhang said and bowed to Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng glanced at the young man standing beside him and said, "Don't worry! Wang will definitely protect him. ”
After receiving Wang Cheng's personal assurance, Feng Yuzhang grinned, revealing his buckteeth, but then his face turned grim and said to the young man: "Sanbao, General Wang is powerful in the world, you must serve him well." ”
The boy is fourteen or fifteen years old, and his appearance is six or seven points similar to Feng Yuzhang, both of which are typical donkey faces.
He is Feng Yuzhang's third son, nicknamed "Three Treasures", no longer a dog, a cat or the like, but a treasure in his father's heart.
Feng Sanbao nodded heavily and said, "My son knows!" ”
After telling him a few more words, Feng Yuzhang hugged his fists at Wang Cheng and the others, and said, "General Wang, the young master, and a few adults, we will have a meeting later!" ”
"There will be a date later!"
Wang Cheng and the others also hugged their fists, and then turned around and boarded the boat.
"Hey, sail!"
With the boatman's horn, the boat slowly left the shore and sailed into the river.
Yin Bo and the others couldn't hold back their excitement and curiosity in their hearts and walked towards the bow tower.
"Hey! It's the first time I've been on a boat, and it's still such a big boat! ”
"In the end, it is the Wu family, such a big building ship will definitely not be able to take it without a few thousand taels of silver!"
……
Entering the bow tower, several people refreshed their cognition.
The space is very large, and it is divided into rooms, with special places to eat, special places to rest, and even places to practice.
"I'm a mother! Is this moving the whole house over? ”
"It seems that you can't take a few thousand taels of silver at all! It's too extravagant! ”
"No need to guess! The Three Jewels are here! Ask Sambo how much the ship costed. ”
"I ...... My dad didn't tell me. ”
A few people talked in the bow tower.
Wang Cheng and Wu Feilong stood at the bow of the boat, watching the rolling river flow eastward.
Wu Feilong thought about it, and finally decided to speak: "My lord, Lao Feng is good at everything, but he is too utilitarian, I hope you don't mind." ”
Feng Yuzhang likes to cling to the powerful, and it has always been like this, which makes Wu Feilong very uncomfortable, and Wu Feilong looks down on him a little bit in his heart.
Like this time, he asked his youngest son to follow Wang Cheng, even if Wang Cheng sternly refused, he insisted on letting Feng Sanbao follow, and his purpose was to catch Wang Cheng's line.
"I didn't take it to heart." Wang Cheng shook his head and said.
Wu Feilong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he cared very much about Wang Cheng's thoughts, he was afraid that Wang Cheng would think too much, and he encouraged Feng Yuzhang to do this.
Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has their own way of survival, as long as it doesn't violate morality, it's actually nothing." ”
He looked at the boiling river and said, "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." If you have no desires and no desires, what shall I motivate you? ”
It was the first time Wu Feilong had heard someone talk about the pursuit of worldly fame and fortune so fresh and refined, but he couldn't refute it.
"Let's go!"
Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, and then walked towards the tower, leaving Wu Feilong alone to think.
Feng Sanbao saw Wang Cheng walk in, and hurriedly saluted: "Meet General Wang!" ”
Wang Cheng held his hand and said, "No need to be polite!" ”
Feng Sanbao got up, and then hesitated: "General, can I worship you as a teacher?" ”
Wang Cheng was silent, when it came to his identity, the disciple didn't accept it casually.
Master and apprentice are one, and whatever disaster the disciple will cause in the future, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
Of course, if he commits any serious sin in the future, his disciples will also be implicated.
In fact, this applies to any pair of masters and apprentices. But the higher the status, the relationship will be infinitely magnified, and the greater the implication.
And most importantly, he didn't want to take in apprentices because he wasn't a qualified master.
He accepted two apprentices before, one was abandoned by him in Yinshan County, and the other is still missing, so he has no idea of accepting apprentices.
Wang Cheng looked at Feng Sanbao's longing eyes, remembered Feng Yuzhang's experiences, and said, "I can teach you." ”
Feng Sanbao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Disciple to meet the master!" ”
Wang Cheng helped him up again and said, "Sanbao, you are my third disciple, and above you, there is another senior brother and a senior sister. As for your brother and sister, we will meet again. ”
Sighing, he continued: "I have learned a lot of things, martial arts, medicine, Taoism, and the art of war, which one do you want to learn?" ”
Feng Sanbao said categorically: "I want to learn the art of war!" ”
"Oh?"
Wang Cheng was surprised by Feng Sanbao's choice, and couldn't help but ask: "Everyone else wants to be invincible in the world, why do you want to learn the art of war?" ”
"The master said that he regretted being a soldier for three years, and regretting not being a soldier for a lifetime." Feng Sanbao said.
Wang Cheng did say this when he was training, he looked at Feng Sanbao and said meaningfully: "It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it!" ”
Feng Sanbao nodded thoughtfully, and continued: "Since the master joined the army, the disciples have all remembered the big and small battles. The first battle was with the Black Eagle Army, and the Moon rode alone to chase the Black Eagle, killing more than 200 Black Eagle Army in the first battle, and was promoted to the rank of military Sima. Second World War ......"
Seeing that Feng Sanbao had told him about his achievements, Wang Cheng couldn't be more satisfied with this disciple.
"Good! From this day forward, I will teach you the art of war. However, before passing on the art of war, you must remember that war is a major matter of the country, and it is a major issue related to the life and death of many people and the survival of the country, and cannot be treated with caution. ”
"War, in order not to fight!"
……
"The art of war has a person who inherits it, and the volume of "Battlefield Soldiers" is about to come to an end, but the things on the battlefield are still continuing......
