Chapter 52: Departure
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Wencheng did not ask Poor Ming how he could be like this in front of the public.
Instead, he asked, "Why, are you the only deacon coming?"
Wen Cheng was a little unhappy in his heart, he was also the acting director, and he was rightfully in charge of Hu Si's men. Why is there only one poor man who comes, according to the news that Wencheng learned in the money meeting, there will not be only one deacon under each principal, otherwise wouldn't this principal become the commander of the light pole?
"Boss, there were originally four deacons. But the three of them disappeared together with Boss Hu. I'm the only one now. The poor man was tall and spoke loudly, and standing in front of Wencheng to reply, he had a slight sense of humming.
At this time, Wen Cheng realized that he was able to take over Hu Si's men and horses because Hu Si was missing. Exhaled slightly, and asked, "Why didn't you go with Hu Si?"
Qian Ming didn't think much about this, but replied honestly: "Boss Hu thinks I'm more coarse, and he always lets me guard when he goes out, and he won't take me with him." ”
It seems that this Hu Si is also a face-conscious person, and a rough man like Poor Ming is indeed unsightly to take out. But this kid is a blessing in disguise, if it weren't for this dignity, I'm afraid he would have to disappear with Hu Si. But this blessing is not so easy to enjoy, being not seen by the top boss, and the little shoes are not allowed to be worn every day.
Wen Cheng nodded in understanding, looked beyond Poor Ming, and looked towards the two rows of strong men behind, "That means, my current subordinates are only you people?"
"Back to the boss, these are some people in charge, I mainly want you to meet them, boss, so that they can get to know you. We still have 200 swordsmen, as well as men from various industries. If you want to see them, I'll go and get them all when you come back. ”
Wencheng is now figuring out the structure of the Tongqian Society, and there are different deacons under the principal, and the deacons are all kinds of industries, as well as the swordsmen of the armed representatives. The industry is naturally used to make money, and part of the money earned is handed over to the headquarters, and part of it is handed over to the deacon, who arranges it. As the so-called poor and rich in martial arts, if you want to practice martial arts, you can't do without the support of resources, which can be regarded as the training of various deacons and principals through money.
The Knife Hands are the forces used to protect the industry and deal with the corresponding matters.
Wen Cheng waved his hand to stop Qi Ming's thoughts, "Forget it, let's talk about it when it's ready." ”
Poor Ming didn't insist, nodded and agreed, and turned to the person behind him: "Big guy, come, this is our current business, everyone calls the boss good." ”
"Old, big, good. The sound was as uniform as if a bell was ringing.
Wen Cheng couldn't help but pluck out his ears, feeling a strong ruffian rogue smell, "Well, can you change your name?" I don't like to be called boss." ”
"What should I call you?" asked Poor Ming cautiously.
"What did you call Hu Si before?"
"It's called Boss Hu, or Big Brother. Poor Ming replied sincerely, and at the same time quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Wen Cheng was speechless when he heard this, he finally knew where this bandit spirit came from now.
"That's it, you all call me Childe in the future, I prefer others to call me Childe. ”
After Wen Cheng finished speaking, he didn't get a response from Qian Ming.
I saw that his face was flushed, and he squirmed and wanted to speak, but he held the words in his mouth tightly. Finally, he still didn't beat Wencheng's gaze, and said, "Gong, Gongzi?"
Wen Cheng's body couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't know how to appear in his mind, a picture of poor Ming and Xiao Duo'er overlapping together, and calling him Gongzi at the same time. This scene, such as Hua turning around and calling Childe is still terrifying.
Wencheng held his forehead with his hand, he really couldn't stand it, so he had to take a step back, "Forget it, you better change your name, just call me young master." ”
"Yes, big brother. ”
The subordinates shouted in unison.
"Called, young master. ”
Wen Cheng's face darkened.
"Yes, Brother Cheng. ”
Poor Ming, these people just don't want to be called Young Master Wencheng.
Brother Cheng is Brother Cheng, Wen Cheng didn't bother to bother with this problem anymore, but was a little curious about the arrival of Poor Ming and others. I always feel that the reason why they came here is not so simple.
"Poor Ming, are you here today just to let me meet everyone?"
"Brother Cheng, this is just one of them. After Qi Ming finished speaking, he said to Wen Cheng: "Also, Brother Cheng, you also know that Boss Hu was a subordinate of the deputy head of Wanyan in the past, although Brother Cheng is now in charge, but after all, he has just taken office."
Last night, a chief under Vice Master Wanyan came to us and ordered us to see Brother Cheng today, and then take you to investigate the disappearance of Master Hu. ”
After speaking, he also took out a warrant from his arms and showed it to Wencheng.
Wencheng saw that this warrant was genuine, but the person who gave the order was very strange, and it was a warrant issued by the temporary director. Generally speaking, a principal like Hu Si, whether he is missing or killed. Before the new director takes office, his men and horses will arrange a nominal temporary director, so that these people are not restrained. Usually, in order to avoid suspicion, such a temporary director will not meddle in the affairs of these people, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the new director.
Now not only is he tearing his face and directly issuing a warrant, but this warrant is also very clever. It was not given to Wencheng, the acting director, and Wanyan Ting still commanded him, but to the deacon of Poor Ming.
In general, this warrant does not mention Wencheng and can be completely ignored by him. But this warrant restricted Wencheng's only deacon, Poor Ming, who had to carry out this order and immediately begin investigating Hu Si's disappearance.
Sure enough, it's not simple, it turns out that the old guy Wan Yanting is behind the scenes. He couldn't wait to let himself investigate Hu Si's disappearance, I am afraid that he thought that he would also disappear like Hu Si. In this way, wouldn't his nephew be able to justifiably ascend to the throne?
Wencheng did not despise the investigation of Hu Si's disappearance. First, Cen Haiwan's reminder made him vigilant enough, and second, there were too many unreasonable things in this world, and there were too many weird things, and he didn't want to capsize in the gutter.
Originally, I wanted to delay as much as possible, but I didn't expect Yan Ting to force him to investigate so impatiently.
Wanyan Ting is forcing Wencheng to go, although the warrant is given to Poor Ming, on the surface, it has nothing to do with his Wencheng, but if Wencheng does not go and Poor Ming goes, then he will leave an image of a Shangguan who is greedy for life and afraid of death in the hearts of his subordinates.
In this way, how will Wencheng's men and horses obey him, and how will they lead these people in the future?
And since Hu Si and the three deacons can all disappear, if Poor Ming goes alone, it must be more than lucky. As soon as Poor Ming died, Wencheng really became the commander of the light pole.
Wan Yanting, the old fox, is really powerful, and he played a few chess pieces lightly, and he had to follow the other party's train of thought.
is still not strong enough, if he has the strength of the master, then how dare Wan Yan Ting look for death like this?
Go and go, as long as you solve this matter yourself, and sit in the main seat justifiably. You can get first-class exercises from the Xunwu Hall and continue to improve your strength.
Strength is real, everything else is fake.
"So you're going to investigate the disappearance now? ”
After Wen Cheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Qian Ming to answer, and walked forward first.
Poor Ming stood behind Wen Cheng with a look of shame on his face. But he had no choice, Hu Si and his party, who were much stronger than him, disappeared without a trace, and he would definitely be beaten by meat buns and dogs when he went alone. Therefore, he had to come to see Wencheng, hoping that Wencheng was strong and could bring him back.
Now Wencheng took the initiative to go with him without hesitation, so that Poor Ming was ashamed, but also grateful. Quickly stepped forward and pulled out a horse, "Brother Cheng, please get on the horse." ”
Wencheng took the reins, looked at Poor Ming with a smile, and turned over on his horse.
With a flick of the reins, "Let's go!"
The group rode horses to follow.
Poor Ming was on the right hand side of Wencheng and followed all the way.
The sound of horses' hooves is kicking, and they are not in a hurry to step on the bluestone road.
The team was silent for a long time, and Wen Cheng broke the silence.
"By the way, Poor Ming, what kind of martial arts are you practicing?"
Poor Ming patted the Pu Dao who was about to be generaled, "Brother Cheng, I am practicing martial arts on the second floor of the Xunwu Palace, the Rock Knife Technique." ”
Wencheng thought about it carefully and made sure he hadn't heard of it. There are really a lot of martial arts in this Xunwu Palace, and if one comes out at random, I have no impression at all. Thinking of this, Wencheng had greater expectations for the Xunwu Palace.
"What kind of martial art is this Rock Sword Technique?" Wen Cheng asked casually, and then continued to ask with a slight hesitation, "Can you tell me about it?"
Wen Cheng also knew that this behavior of rashly asking others about their martial arts cultivation was very taboo, but he was really curious. Being able to see more martial arts will help him to deduce skill modifiers in the future, even if it is good to just understand the intention of some martial arts.
Poor Ming was very happy, "What's this, since Brother Cheng wants to hear it, I'll talk to Brother Cheng, anyway, you can't look down on such martial arts." Even if Brother Cheng wants to practice martial arts, at least the martial arts on the third floor can enter Brother Cheng's eyes. ”
The two lifted the reins and moved closer.
According to Qian Ming, this Rock Knife Method is a martial art that is cultivated both internally and externally, and after cultivation, it can not only improve the external skills of the moves, but also improve the cultivation of internal qi at the same time. The Rock Knife Method is also considered a top-level exercise on the second floor of the Xunwu Palace, and it was not easy for the poor Ming to make up enough merits, and under the guidance of a senior, he chose this exercise. As for who that senior was, Poor Ming didn't say it, and he didn't know if he didn't know who it was, or if he knew it, but he didn't want to say it.
Wencheng didn't ask, and continued to listen.
This rock knife method is heavy on defense, hard to hit, concise, easy to learn and difficult to master, and it needs to be steady and persistent polishing to be successful. According to Poor Ming, this knife technique is indeed more suitable for people like him who are brute force, simple-minded, and like to go straight. He was born in a poor family, and he was very blessed, and there was nothing dissatisfying about his current life. But after all, he is a person who knows the money, and he can more or less get in touch with the side that is difficult for ordinary people to touch, knowing that this world is not as simple as the court proclaims, and there are really demons and monsters in secret. The idea of practicing martial arts to protect himself also lingered in his mind, but even if he practiced martial arts, he mainly wanted to save his life, and he didn't have any idea of wanting to get ahead. Therefore, this rock knife method is very much to his liking.
Wen Cheng looked at the solid muscles of Qian Ming's whole body, sitting on horseback like a boulder with a wide top and a sharp bottom, and there was a taste of immobility like a mountain stone, which was a manifestation of practicing the rock knife technique to a very high level.
