Chapter 136 Clever Ghost

Letting go of the excitement of the crossbow, the carriage continued on its way. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info this time, it should be for the face of Ximen Yufeng and the secret help of Red Fangzheng, Hu Wei does not have to return to Qingzhou with the generals of the brigade, but the deadline for this return to the army has been set. Failure to return within the time limit is equivalent to desertion. If Hu Wei crashed into this, even Ximen Yufeng would not be able to protect him.

There are four people in a carriage, and there is only one entourage of Wang Er, and it is still Lu You. Compared to other generals, it is somewhat shabby. I have to say that this is the result of the military department's deliberate embarrassment, otherwise, he could at least bring Zhu Daneng or Harrison, and he would not have to be a bare-bones commander.

However, Hu Wei doesn't care much about this, he is not a person who pays attention to pomp. He has lived in the rivers and lakes for thirteen years, he has never seen anything, he rushed back to Qingzhou from the Tiande Columbia Military Academy last year, there are thousands of people along the way, and he has to pass through several countries, and he is not alone, returning to Qingzhou. This time there was a carriage, a beautiful woman waiting by him, and a master of skill, and in his opinion, this was already a very good life.

The four of Hu Wei were out of the imperial capital at noon, and they all moved Lu You's belongings in Lu You's Tibetan Gold Building in the morning, and then they hurriedly went out of the city and didn't even eat lunch.

In a hurry, Hu Wei tried a crossbow on the road, and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. When the car passes through the market, there is a two-storey restaurant on the side of the road, the restaurant is called Du Kang, built along the river, quite a bit of scenery.

When Wang Er saw this Du Kang Restaurant, his heart turned away. Wang Er grew up in the lower echelons of the imperial capital, and then did the running hall of the Tibetan Gold Building, and after a few years, he also practiced a little bit of eyesight. He knew from the conversation between Lu You and Hu Wei that his master in the future was likely to be Hu Wei.

For Hu Wei, Wang Er has a little admiration in his heart. Most of Hu Wei's stories are in Qingzhou, and there are not many stories in the imperial capital, and Wang Er is not very clear. But he knows the military uniform on Hu Wei's body.

Wang Er remembered very well that when Hu Wei first came to Zangjin Lou, he was just a captain, and it was only less than two years, and the military uniform on Hu You's body had already become a general's uniform.

In less than two years, he has changed from an officer with only 30 soldiers to a senior official with thousands of people in his hands. What does that mean?

In Wang Er's opinion, that means that if Hu Wei is not a child of a family, he is a very good person. No matter which one it is, it proves that Hu Wei has an unlimited future. Coupled with sitting in this carriage exclusive to Ximen Yufeng, it is even more revealing.

It is said that men are most afraid of getting into the wrong business. In fact, this is not true, what a person is most afraid of is not the fear of entering the wrong industry, but the fear of following the wrong person and standing on the wrong side.

Even if you are able to carry out the most popular industry, with a boss who has no future, you will not have a good life, he himself is so miserable, what can he bring you? It can only lead you to even worse.

Wang Er knew that he was very likely to keep up with such a promising person as Hu Wei, so he naturally thought about how to turn over in front of Hu Wei. With his current status, he can't do anything else but make some expressions in terms of details.

Wang Er saw that this Du Kang Restaurant was not bad, and felt that it was an opportunity for him to express himself, so he took a deep breath, boldly, turned around and leaned down, knocked on the car door, and said respectfully: "Young Master Hu You, there is a Du Kang Restaurant in front, it looks good, you see if you stop to eat." ”

If you don't say that Wang Er is clever, just look at the fact that he doesn't care about calling him a general, but a young master, which can explain his thoughts. We all know that being called a general can be a subordinate or an honorific title, which is a kind of external title. And it's different to call the young master, this is mostly the title in the house, even if you call other people the young master, there is also a familiar ingredient in it. Wang Er called Hu Wei like this, which means to sue Hu Wei and respect him as the Lord. To put it bluntly, we are our own people.

In the carriage, Hu Wei was studying the crossbow, and after having ox tendon and horsetail hair for crossbow strings, the cost of the crossbow was greatly reduced. Although compared to the crossbow string made of heavenly silk, the power of this horsetail string is much higher, and it can only reach about three hundred and fifty steps. However, this is already fifty steps stronger than ordinary bows and arrows, and it is much larger, easy to carry, and has suddenness, as long as a large number of troops are equipped, the combat power can be visibly improved.

Supposedly, this should make Hu Wei very satisfied.

But after Hu Wei was only excited for a while, he began to think about it again. It is said that people's hearts are insufficient, and Hu Wei can be regarded as a person with insufficient hearts. He was the one who had seen guns, just a crossbow, how could he be satisfied.

Of course, it is impossible to make guns, and what Hu Wei is thinking about at this time is how to make the crossbow do continuous shooting. The power of a machine gun and a pistol is not the same, and the power of a single crossbow and a crossbow that can fire in a series is also very different.

It is completely possible to shoot a crossbow and a chain, Hu Wei has seen it on TV before. But the problem is that he doesn't understand the principle of making zuò, how can he, a gangster who runs the rivers and lakes, master that profound mechanical power principle.

Hu Wei was thinking about how to talk to Lu You, but was interrupted by Wang Er, he frowned, pulled a vent on the car door, glanced out, and remembered that everyone hadn't even eaten lunch until now, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

Along the way, Red has prepared dry food, so you don't have to stop eating. However, Hu Wei took into account that Lu You's age was a little old after all, even if there was nothing wrong with his gastrointestinal function, but his body, after all, was no longer young, and he had to sleep in the open and get sick along the way, so the loss would not be big.

It's hard to find a talent like Lu You. Even if there is, Hu Wei doesn't have that much energy now, and he is going to subdue one. Since people follow themselves, they must always be kind to others.

Besides, there are some private affairs of the daughter's family to deal with, which is always on the carriage, and it is not a solution. You have to give her a little space, too.

Wang Er looked at Hu Wei's promise to him, and his face showed a hint of pride. He felt that he had done a beautiful thing this time, and he should be able to add points to Hu Wei's heart, which would also be greatly beneficial to future exhibitions.

Wang Er knew very well in his heart that Hu Wei would be the general, and there must already be a group of henchmen around him. He is such a newcomer, if he wants to stand out in Hu Wei's team, he must make more efforts.

Wang Erxin stopped the car in front of Du Kang Restaurant and waited for Hu Wei to get out of the car. Although Hu Wei has been appointed as a general, it is the first time that someone has been waiting for him to get off the car. There is not so much attention in the army, and he used to jump off the horse when he rode a horse.

Giving Wang Er an appreciative look, Hu Wei followed Wang Er's example and stretched out his hand to Hong. Seeing Hu You's movements, Hong was slightly stunned, with a sweet smile on his face, and handed a jade hand to Hu Wei's hand.

Hu Wei didn't do a full set of plays, Wang Er helped him get out of the carriage, but he hugged the red down. After hugging Hong, Hu Wei took a closer look at this Du Kang Restaurant.

The black-lacquered wooden signboard hangs high above the main entrance, and the cursive characters of 'Du Kang Restaurant' are square and imposing, which can be regarded as a good handwriting, at least much better than Hu Wei's chicken crawling.

Due to the war, a large number of wealthy people poured into the imperial capital, resulting in the sick prosperity of the imperial capital. This is not far from the emperor's popularity, looking in from the gate, it is crowded with people, and there are noisy sounds from time to time, which is quite lively.

Hu Wei pulled Hong, and went up to the second floor first, Wang Er helped Lu You, and followed closely behind Hu You. Hu Wei chose a clean seat facing the street with a view of the river and sat down, Hong sat next to Hu Wei, and Lu You sat opposite Hu Wei.

Wang Er didn't sit down, and when he saw that the bartender didn't come, he wiped the table by himself. As soon as he wiped it twice, the bartender ran over with a smile on his face: "Let it come, let it come, how dare you do it." ”

Wang Er smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it at home." Do you have any good wine and food here for my young master to enjoy?"

Hu Wei glanced at Wang Er meaningfully, and secretly said that this son is a little clever. Not everyone understands that he didn't learn to shout at the evil slave of the high gate, but wiped the table by himself and let the bartender run by himself. Regarding Wang Er's statement 'my young master', he didn't speak, and let Wang Er wave it, wanting to see more about what else he was capable of.

The bartender listened to Wang Er's question, and said a little proudly: "Guest, you can be regarded as asking." There are freshly slaughtered fat pigs, fresh fish caught in the river, and prawns. If the young master wants to taste game, we also have pheasants, hares, and sparrows. Wine, naturally, it's Du Kang.

Our Du Kang wine, but it is very famous, I am not talking nonsense, there are poems as proof. Well, that is a song about wine, how much life is? For example, the morning dew, the past day is bitter. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang"

The bartender spoke so loudly that he even came up with poetry. Wang Er peeked at Hu You, and saw that Hu Wei was not impatient, so he didn't interrupt the bartender, and waited until the bartender finished speaking before he spoke: "See if you can say it, it's not like just talking and not practicing." ”

The bartender hurriedly said: "Then how can it be, the wine and food in the building are very famous in this area." If you want to eat, just order, the building is guaranteed to satisfy you. ”

Wang Er didn't answer the bartender's words again this time, but turned to Hu Wei and asked respectfully, "Young Master, what do you want to eat?"

Hu Wei picked up the tea, took a sip, and said lightly: "I'm not very familiar with the dishes in the imperial capital, you can watch it." ”

"Yes, young master. Wang Er got Hu Yu's words, and then turned to the bartender and said: "I said, you remember, give me a boiled fish, red meat, sesame tofu, fresh mushroom soup"

Wang Er ordered a total of six dishes, one soup, and two bottles of Du Kang wine. After a while, the bartender served the food. Hu Wei only glanced at it, and then nodded secretly. The dishes ordered by Wang Er are dizzy and vegetarian. There are spicy, light, fresh, and dry, which not only takes care of the habits of the red girl's taste is relatively light, but also takes care of the preferences of drinkers, and also takes care of Lu You's old age and can't eat too hard. Sure enough, it's a clever man.

"Wang Er, you can also sit down and eat, this is a long way to Qingzhou, and you have to work hard. From now on, we will be our own people, and you don't have to be too restrained. Hu Wei pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Wang Er to sit down.

"Yes, young master, Wang Er remembered. Wang Er nodded again and again, and sat on the chair for half a **.

Du Kang Restaurant is really good at this dish, Hu Wei is in a good mood, he eats full of taste, and he nods from time to time, which is a big compliment.

Halfway through the dish, the bartender brought white flowers and steaming rice. This was also arranged by Wang Er, in order to take care of Hu Wei and Lu You's habit of drinking. Hu Wei once ate in the Tibetan Gold Building, at that time, Hu Wei ate vegetables first, and ate last, Wang Er remembered it deeply.

After the meal, as soon as the bowl was put down, the bartender's tea arrived. Hu Wei drank tea, looked at the dishes and dishes that had bottomed out, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The amount of food and wine is just now, enough to eat but not wasted, and the time for serving rice and tea is also considered to be a very reasonable time. This Wang Er does have some ability. Hu Wei asked himself, if he did it himself, it would be like this.

Hu Wei thought secretly in his heart. He is now an official and a general, and he can build his own government account. There is a real need for some clever people around to take care of all aspects of things.

Due to the special relationship of the slave camp, the inconvenience of no one around Hu Wei has not yet been revealed. But he could not have been in the slave camp, or rather, he could not have kept the money and food of his troops in the hands of others.

When the time comes, once he gets back these powers, the first problem Hu Wei will face is the problem that there is no one around him. There are no civil officials in the Mandala Empire, but someone has to do this civilian work.

Sima who is in charge of war horses, treasurer who is in charge of money and food, who is in charge of counselors' planning, who deals with sudden incidents, who is in charge of military and political affairs, and who protects the people's livelihood. There must also be counsellors, sorcerers, and alchemists, and the income and expenditure of the army, and the income and expenditure of the army, and the income and expenditure of the army.

These clerks have to worry about finding them themselves. Hou San, they are all military generals, although Zhu Daneng knows some logistics, he can't use it. Now Hu Wei is throwing all of these to Hong, but he can't keep pressing these to Hong, now there are still few things, Red can deal with it, and there will be more and more things in the future, even if Red has eight legs, he can't do so much.

Talents, talents, no matter when, you have to need talents.

With a sigh, Hu Wei's thoughts returned to Wang Er's body. This son is indeed good and clever, but can he use it heavily?

At this point, Hu was worried in his heart, and he had some doubts. Because in Wang Er's body, Hu Wei saw his own shadow. Wang Er's words and deeds are almost no different from him.

Although there is no need to suspect people, there is no doubt about employing people. But Hu Wei is now walking on thin ice, and he has to be heartfelt.

"Let's observe for a while, the road shakes the horsepower, and time will give an answer. Hu Wei said to himself in his heart.

The time is not early, and before it gets dark, Hu Wei plans to rush a little more. Although he returned to Qingzhou this time, the deadline given by the military department was still sufficient. But when you are away from home, who can predict what unexpected situations will happen on the road. There's always nothing wrong with grabbing some time.

After drinking the tea in his hand, Hu Wei just wanted to get up and go downstairs, when he suddenly heard a frantic sound of horses' hooves downstairs. Hu Wei raised his eyes and saw more than a dozen fast horses galloping on the road in the distance. It was a group of heralds, and as the military situation in the empire became more tense, such heralds appeared more and more frequently.

The people did not have a good opinion of these heralds. It's not because they always bring bad news, but every time they appear, they always go on a rampage, and everywhere they go, they always jump around.

In particular, those who passed the urgent order were even more arrogant, and they rushed over regardless of whether it was someone or not. Speaking of which, they can't be blamed for this, because the empire strictly ordered the arrival time of the order, and if the time is not over, it is a violation of the order. Those who violate the order die, and the military law of the empire is absolutely ruthless in this regard.

"Ahh

Hu Wei looked at the red fingers, threw down the teacup under his hand and stood up.

I saw a girl about seven or eight years old, somehow, suddenly walking out of the side of the road. And her line happened to intersect with that herald.

The cavalry was very fast, and the distance of more than fifty meters was only twenty meters in an instant. And between them and the children, just across the carriage that worries about them, there is no other person in each other.

Yes, after a maximum of ten seconds, the girl will collide with the herald's cavalry unit. And the result of their collision is not to think much about it.

No one rushed to save the girl

Hu Wei didn't even think about it, and instantly pulled out the sun-changing bow, pulled the bow and drew the arrow, and a cold light went straight to the girl. He certainly didn't want to shoot the girl, he shot the girl's arm. It was the only thing he could think of in an instant. He was going to use the force of the arrow to take the girl back to the side of the road.

In doing so, the girl may lose an arm, but no hand is better than no life. The lesser of two evils is also a last resort.

Of course, Hu Wei has another way, which is to shoot those cavalry. But this trick is more dangerous. Not to mention how much trouble shooting the herald will bring to Hu Wei, if you don't get it right, you will be sentenced to death

There are more than a dozen heralds alone, and if they shoot only one, they may not be able to save the girl, and the cavalry behind them will rush up, not only will the herald who was shot off the horse be trampled to death, but the girl will also be turned into a pulp.

So exchanging a life for an arm, although it is a bit cruel, is the only way now.

"Ding. ”

With a soft sound, Hu You's arrow, as Hu Wei expected, did not shoot into the girl's arm, taking her out of danger.

Hu Wei's arrow flashed in an arc in the air, rolled and fell to the ground.

What happened
