Chapter 015: Chapeng Gossip (I)

Hu Wei started from the east of Mengzhou, followed the Jiujiang River, the largest river in the empire, all the way north, passed through the entire Yanzhou, and it took eighteen days to come to Letong City in Qingzhou.

Letong City, together with Dongdu and Xilin, is known as the three major cities of Qingzhou. The city lord Sima Shou is the eldest son of the Sima family of the empire, with three guards and 30,000 soldiers. Letong City is located at the junction of Qingyan and Qingyan, and it is a necessary place to enter Qingzhou. The geographical position of the two states is very crucial, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers.

When Hu Wei arrived in Letong City, he didn't see that there was a conscription announcement there, so he stepped forward with a smile on his face and asked the gatekeeper for the news. In his opinion, the soldiers of the same state must know where the place of conscription is.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Before Hu Wei could get closer, he was stopped by the soldier.

"Hehe, don't get me wrong, I want to ask the military master about something. Hu Wei said with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter?" asked the soldier.

"I'm sorry to know where the Tempest Legion is recruiting?"

"I don't know, let's go. "The defenders of the city drove Hu Wei away like flies.

I don't know? Hu Wei didn't believe that this soldier would not know about this. Along the way, Hu Wei asked more than one person about it, and it had been determined that the Qingzhou Storm Legion was recruiting. This is to the ground, how can this soldier not know.

Oh, I guess I want a few 'directions money'.

Hu Wei touched his body, took out a few coppers and buckled them in his hand, slightly exposed, for the sergeant guarding the door to see, and then stepped forward again.

This time, the sergeant did even better, and before Hu Wei could speak, the big gun in his hand pointed at Hu Wei and said, "Tell you to go, do you hear?" Wander around here again, and be careful that I take you like a spy. ”

"Malagobi, I can't see that this kid is still a clean official. Don't even give money. Hu Wei scolded in his heart, so he could only touch his nose and walk away.

"Young man, you want to ask where the Tempest Legion recruits. Don't ask, the defenders won't tell you. An old man in the corner of the city said to Hu Wei.

"Why, is this still a military secret?" asked Hu worriedly.

"Don't ask more about that. If you want to join the Tempest Legion, head to Zhaimeng. ”

"Zhaimeng Town?"

"Yes, through the city of Letong, all the way to the west, about two days away. ”

"Oh, thank you for your advice. It's a little meaning, it's a kid who invites the old man to drink a bowl of tea. Hu Wei said and handed over the copper in his hand.

"Hehe, lad, put it away. My old man is not for a few coppers of yours. The old man shook his hand and smiled.

"This" Hu Wei carefully observed the old man. I saw that this old man was dressed in cloth, his beard was white, but his spirit was shining, and he had a bit of a high and ancient meaning.

Seeing the old man, Hu Wei couldn't help but think of his master. Although the master is not good to himself, he has also raised himself for many years. Although he often scolded him behind his back, the two have been separated from each other since then, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet again in this life.

"Uncle, the sun is fierce here, why don't we go to the tea tent over there and sit down, do you think?" Hu Wei saw that the old man should be a local, so he decided to learn something about him first. Otherwise, he will run around like a headless fly, and if he violates any taboos, it will cause trouble.

The old man glanced at Hu Wei up and down, nodded and said, "It's just right, I'm also a little thirsty." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he started to leave. Maybe it's because the old legs and feet are not very good, and they kick out a shoe.

Hu Wei reacted quickly, took two steps up, picked up his shoes, and ran to the old man's feet to put them on. After doing it, Hu Wei reacted and scolded in his heart. But after thinking about it, forget it, I haven't helped Master do such things before. Anyway, I won't have a chance to see that bastard master again in this life, even if it's the last time I help him put on his shoes.

It turns out that Master Hu Wei has a problem with his feet, and he often suddenly cares about **, and he always likes to step on his shoes, so every time he wears a **, the shoes will fly out. This kind of picking up shoes and wearing shoes, Hu Wei has done it I don't know how many times since I was a child, and it has become a habitual reaction.

Of course, Hu Wei was not happy to do this. But every time he pretended not to see, his master would come up with some tricks to fix him in disguise – for example, to test him on medicine.

The old man didn't know that Hu Wei still had such a past, and he didn't know what Hu Wei was secretly scolding in his heart. His eyes lit up slightly as he put on his shoes, and then he regained his composure.

The shoes were deliberately kicked out by the old man, and he sat by the city gate every day, and he would take the initiative to answer the defectors who were suffocating at the city gate, and would create this opportunity to kick the shoes out. In the past, it was kicked out, and it was all gone, and today someone helped pick it up, and it was the first time.

Endorsed in the book, this old man's surname is Shi, and he calls himself Taishi Gong. In his life, he can't put pen to paper to settle the world, and he can't go on the horse to settle the world. For most of his life, the bastard is just a teacher and student with a strange temper. His greatest hobby in life is to study history books, and in his spare time, he will make up small stories about interesting things he has seen in history books, and tell them to children in addition to class.

He was always stubborn in his belief that history repeats itself. As long as you learn the things in the history books, you can become a talent for governing the country and securing the country. It's a pity that most of the students who listen to his stories are **-year-old children, how can they understand the implicit meaning of his stories. As for **, most of them ignore him. Whenever he talked to others about his theory, others either walked away and ignored him, or ridiculed him for why he didn't exchange history books for glory and wealth, and he was still teaching here in poverty.

The two of them came to the tea tent, found a seat near the moat, and sat down. Hu Wei traveled all the way north, and the money on his body was almost spent, so he just wanted to simply ask for a pot of tea and two small snacks. Who knew that when he was ordering something, the old man said:

"It's hot on this day, so it's better to have some wine to moisten your throat. ”

Hu Wei was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that on this hot day, drink wine to moisten your throat? You might as well just say that you want to drink.

Hu Wei is not a careful person about money, and he is quite tired from traveling for days, and it is better to drink some wine than tea. So I simply asked the store to serve two jugs of good wine and a few appetizers.

Hu Wei came to Tianfeng Continent, drank wine in Wang Fugui's house, and brewed wine in Huangfufu, but he didn't know much about the wine in this continent.

In every place in the Tianfeng Continent, the wine preferences are not the same. The wine drunk in Qingzhou is very different from other places. Qingzhou is relatively cold in winter, so most of the people here are used to drinking spirits. One bite down, the whole body is hot, and it can resist the cold.

Because the wine is too strong, people here generally drink not in the pot, but in the cup. It's interesting to have a cup or two. Hu Wei didn't understand, he thought that the wine here was similar to the water wine in Mengzhou, so he ordered a pot.

Taishi Gong, the old man, temporarily changed the tea into wine, which had the intention of further testing Hu Wei, and when he saw Hu Wei, he called two pots of wine, and he liked it in his heart. A scholar often behaves a little differently, he only thinks about Hu Wei and asks for wine generously, and he never thinks about whether he can drink a pot of wine.

Tai Shi Gong has no opinion, and the store will not have an opinion. Those who do business want to make more money, and there are no idle guests who want more, only those who hate customers to knock on the door.

The wine and food came up quickly, and Hu Wei filled the wine with Taishi Gong, and then poured himself a glass. As soon as the wine is in my mouth, I suddenly feel hot. Fortunately, when he and Master traveled around the rivers and lakes, he also drank a lot of spirits, so he could stand this wine.

The two of them were chatting while drinking, and the wine was half-drunk, and the gossip was almost over, Hu Wei suddenly raised his voice and said: "Old man, boy, I first arrived in Letong, there are many things I don't understand, I don't know if you can teach you a lesson or two?"

Tai Shi Gong has made several tests of self-righteousness, but Hu Wei has completed them well, so his image of Hu Wei is very good. He knew that Hu Wei invited him to drink, and he must have something to ask him, so he had been waiting here.

At this time, seeing Hu Wei speak, Tai Shi Gong shook his head slowly, took a piece of Letong's famous oil cake, bit it slowly, and then took a sip of the wine in his hand, and then said: "Brother Hu has something to say, just ask." ”!
