After Xiahou Yu took over the task of teaching Cheng Kun from Dai Feizhang, he did not hesitate, went directly to a restaurant on the street, walked in and bought a roast chicken and a pot of good wine.

He had already figured out who to ask for help, although the branch he was in was very inconspicuous in Xiahou's family, there were still several talents, and the most outstanding one was his cousin Xiahou Jun.

Xiahou Yu has admired his cousin the most since he was a child, including when he joined Hu Benwei when he grew up, it can also be said that he was influenced by Xiahou Jun. Although Xiahou Jun is only four years older than him, he is much better than him in terms of martial arts and his usual behavior, including the clan elders in the family who are very optimistic about this junior.

On the way, Xia Houyu thought seriously about how he should speak later. He knew very well that his cousin had a strict temperament, and he had always complained about his escape, if it was just for his own revenge, Xiahou Jun would probably refuse directly.

But everyone has their weaknesses, and Xiahou Jun is no exception.

Xia Houyu knows this cousin too well, and Xia Houjun has always wanted to make a career, but the platform of Hu Benwei has its inherent limitations.

"Zhou Li, Xia Guan, Hu Ben's Clan": "The Hu Ben clan is in charge of the king and tends to be a pawn. The same is true for the military and the association. If you give up, you will keep the king idle. and when the king is in the kingdom, he guards the king's palace. If the country has a great reason, it will guard the king's gate. The same is true of the Great Mourning. ”

Since the day of his birth, Hu Benwei has shouldered the heavy burden of guarding the palace, but although this work is extremely important, related to the safety of the palace and the safety of His Majesty, it cannot be done unless he is deeply trusted, but it is quite difficult to make meritorious contributions.

No matter how seriously Xia Houjun usually does his work, he will not be praised by the officials, because this is a matter of course. According to common sense, if a soldier wants to make meritorious service, the fastest way is to go into battle and kill the enemy, but if the tiger Benwei needs to fight the enemy, it means that the enemy has already killed the palace, which is a bit embarrassing.

With the current strength of Great Chu, Xiahou Jun estimated that if he stayed in the Tiger Ben Guard, it was unlikely that he would have the opportunity to kill the enemy in this life. In this way, if you want to be promoted, you can only rely on hard work, which makes Xiahou Jun, who is full of ambition, very depressed.

And Xiahou Yu is here to provide an opportunity for his cousin. As long as Xiahou Jun can teach Cheng Kun a hard lesson, he can say a few good words for him in front of His Highness, anyway, His Highness must lead the army to fight against the Huns in the future, and he will not refuse to have a few more talents who are proficient in military affairs.

Xiahou Jun was not on duty today, he stayed at home, teasing his three-year-old son with his wife, usually with a serious face, but at this time his face was full of fatherly smiles.

After hearing a knock at the door, Xia Houjun handed over his son to his wife and walked out to open the door by himself.

As soon as the door opened, the face of his cousin Xia Houyu appeared in front of him, and he was still carrying a cooked roast chicken and a pot of good wine.

A smile appeared on Xiahou Jun's face: "It turned out to be you, I didn't expect you to come back from Youzhou so soon, come in quickly." Although he is a little unaccustomed to Xiahou Yu's character, the two are from the same family after all, and they have known each other since childhood, and the relationship is still good.

Xiahou Yu raised the roast chicken and wine in his hand, and smiled at his cousin: "I just came back today, it's not that I thought about not seeing you for a long time with my cousin, so I just bought something, you and my brother have a good gathering today." ”

Xiahou Jun laughed heartily: "Okay, I'm worried that I can't find anyone to drink, so you kid will come to the door, then I'm not welcome." ”

Xiahou Jun's wife, Du Shi, also walked out of the house when she heard the sound, and after seeing Xiahou Yu, she saluted: "It turns out that the uncle has arrived, you and your husband can drink together, and I will cook two dishes for you." ”

Xiahou Jun waved his hand and motioned for his wife to go by herself.

Xiahou Yu honestly returned the salute, he has always had respect for this sister-in-law, Du was born in a scholarly family, and he is also gentle and virtuous, but for some reason, he can't let go of his hands and feet in front of this sister-in-law.

After entering the house and sitting down and disassembling the roast chicken, Xiahou Jun first took a bite of the chicken thigh, then took a sip of wine, and sighed with some satisfaction after the chicken and wine were swallowed.

Don't look at him now, he has become the captain of the Tiger Benwei Guard, and he usually gets a lot of military salary, but at least half of the money he gets has to be used to help those brothers in the army who are in difficulty, and very few can really use it on himself. In addition, my father and mother are not rich, so life can only be said to be okay, and it is still a little difficult to eat meat every day.

But this is also his willingness, a few years later, his reputation in the Tiger Ben Guard has spread all over, who doesn't know that he Xiahou Jun is righteous and thin, and he has always been anxious for justice and righteousness, even the highest commander in the army, Hu Ben Zhonglang, saw him with a smile on his face, and did not dare to slack off.

This is all the network capital he has accumulated, and I don't know when I will use it in the future.

After a while, Xia Houjun noticed that his cousin hadn't moved much since he sat down, and most of the roast chicken he brought over had gone into his stomach, and he hadn't even moved a few chopsticks for the side dishes presented by his wife.

Xia Houjun was a little puzzled, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to drink with me, why don't you sit down and eat much?" ”

Xiahou Yu hurriedly stood up to stop his cousin, he saw that Xiahou Jun had almost eaten, so he took out the pre-thought rhetoric: "Don't hide it from my cousin, I came here this time, firstly, to get together with your cousin and have a drink, and secondly, I have to trouble my cousin to help you." ”

Xia Houjun's face remained unchanged when he heard this, but he slowly poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it into his throat, and the sweet and hot wine flowed down his throat and into his stomach like a line of fire, making his whole body gush with a sense of warmth, which made him very useful in this cold winter.

After drinking a glass of wine, Xiahou Jun asked, "Just say anything and see if I can help?"

Xiahou Yu told the whole thing, of course, he did some appropriate "artistic processing" when he told it, and successfully portrayed Cheng Kun into a young man who was unscrupulous and arrogant with a bit of talent, and did not take Hu Benwei in his eyes at all.

At the end, he emphasized: "This matter was ordered by His Highness, cousin, you have done a better job, if Your Highness is satisfied, I can introduce you to Your Highness." With my cousin's ability, I will definitely emerge and make great achievements in the future when I follow His Royal Highness to the battlefield, I just hope that my cousin will not forget my little brother when the time comes!"

Xiahou Yu's words were both persuasion and praise, and his mouth was almost dry, but Xiahou Jun just listened quietly and didn't say a word.

After he finished speaking, Xiahou Jun spoke: "I need to think about this matter before making a decision, and I can't give you an answer for the time being." ”

Xia Houyu looked at it, yes, the words have been said thoroughly, and it is useless to say anything more, but he believes that his cousin will definitely make the right decision in the end. After sitting in the room for a while, he got up to say goodbye, and Xiahou Jun didn't do much to keep him.

After Xiahouyu left, Du Shi came over and asked her husband, "What is the reason why my uncle came here this time?"

Xiahou Jun didn't answer, his eyebrows were furrowed together, and a "three" character also appeared on his forehead, and the whole person looked very entangled.

According to Xiahou Jun's original intention, he didn't want to deal with this kind of thing, he was a tiger guard lieutenant, and he couldn't think about the trouble of a young man from the Dingshan Army.

Moreover, he was also skeptical of his cousin's statement, he had never seen a real person, and he would not rashly draw conclusions to a stranger based on Xiahou Yu's words.

However, Xiahou Yu said that this matter was ordered by the second prince, and he believed that he would not dare to talk nonsense if this kind of thing was given Xia Houyu two more daring. For characters like the second prince to find trouble with an ordinary Dingshan Army officer, Xiahou Jun also had some slander in his heart.

Although the second prince has a very close relationship with the Xiahou family, and the head of the family has always firmly supported the second prince to become the crown prince, Xiahou Jun himself admires the eldest prince more, and he has always felt that the eldest prince should be the same kind of person as himself.

Because of this, he didn't recommend himself in front of the second prince, otherwise, with his ability, the Shangxia Houyu helped him speak.

But he couldn't vote for the eldest prince, and his identity determined that Xiang An couldn't trust him, so he had been hesitant and entangled all along, and he hadn't made a decision for a long time.

However, he can't wait any longer, the edict announced by His Majesty not long ago is equivalent to a direct kick in the chariot of Da Chu, after so many years of preparation, the war with the Xiongnu is finally about to begin.

This is a carnival that belongs exclusively to martial artists, and it is a "gluttonous feast". I don't know how many people will become famous in this battle to destroy the country, even if there is another "Tiange Hou", he will not be surprised.

Like everyone else around him, Xiahou Jun is also enthusiastic, and his husband is making meritorious deeds and getting rich today!

But the first thing he had to do was to transfer himself out of the Tiger Ben Guard, in this war, any army in the country could fight, but only the two armies of Yulin and Hu Ben would not, no matter when, these two armies would stay in the imperial capital to guard the safety of the capital of this dynasty.

Since it is impossible for the eldest prince to help him, he can only join the second prince Xiang Hong's banner, but in this way, he has to seriously think about what he should do.

Du Zhiwei saw that her husband did not answer herself, but sat there and pondered for a long time, knowing that her husband was in trouble. She sat down beside her husband, stretched out her hand to smooth the wrinkles on Xiahou Jun's forehead, and said softly: "Husband, there is something difficult to choose, if you can, can you tell the concubine, maybe the concubine can help?"

Xia Houjun smiled when he heard this, hugged his wife into his arms, groaned for a while, and briefly recounted what his cousin had just said.

He also looked forward to his wife's advice, which in his eyes was not only virtuous, but also wise, and could be called his virtuous helper. He usually doesn't hide any difficulties from his wife.

After listening to this, Du Shi also frowned at the two willow leaves, and shared the bed with her husband for several years, she knew very well that her husband had been waiting for an opportunity to give full play to his talents, and now the opportunity came, but her husband was still hesitating, in the final analysis, he was still a little "dissatisfied" with the second prince Xiang Hong, which did not meet the standards of Mingjun in his mind. As for that Cheng Kun, it's just a trivial matter.

She didn't say anything, but just asked her husband: "Is your husband willing to miss this opportunity to make a contribution?"

Xiahou Jun didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Of course I don't want to." ”

Du Shi stopped talking, just smiled and looked at her husband.

Xiahou Jun stood up and suddenly realized, his wife helped him recognize what he wanted most in his heart, and after thinking about this, he naturally understood what to do.

............

In the Yulin Army, Cheng Kun had just arrived, and no one had arranged anything for him to do for a while, so he fell into a state of idleness for a while. When the salted fish did not conform to the character set for him by the author, Cheng Kun thought for a moment and decided to go to the royal vault to have a look.

The rest of the Joyama Army, including him, had a chance to visit the Imperial Vault for only half a day. After this opportunity is used up, if you want to go in again, you must complete the task and make a contribution.

Xiang's royal vault was established as long as the time of the establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty, when Xiang Yu was alive, he collected the martial arts cheats collected when he conquered the world into the vault, and then the subsequent emperors for more than two hundred years also put in the cheats they got one by one, and up to now, the secret vault has developed into three.

The martial arts grades in these three secret vaults are clearly distinguished, and the most profound ones are stored separately, except for the members of the royal family, other people who want to enter the palace have to make great contributions. Cheng Kun can only get in the most ordinary one.

After Cheng Kun made a request, someone soon took him there.

The people who led him didn't speak all the way, and Cheng Kun also kept silent. After entering the imperial city, the person who took him changed again, this time with a young father-in-law.

When he saw Cheng Kun, he took out a black cloth from his arms and blindfolded him, apparently just to prevent someone from remembering the route map to the secret vault.

Cheng Kun honestly allowed the other party to blindfold him, and walked for about a stick of incense, when the footsteps of the young father-in-law stopped in Cheng Kun's ears, and then the black cloth in front of his eyes was removed.

What appeared in front of him was a repaired library, the sergeants on both sides of the door were heavily guarded with soldiers, and there were some fathers-in-law wearing robes of different colors walking around, from their long and subtle breathing, Cheng Kun could know that each of these people had a good internal cultivation.

These are just the people he found himself, there must be more masters in secret, this kind of heaven and earth net of vigilance makes Cheng Kun can't help but secretly sigh, sighing that there are so many royal masters, which is breathtaking.

The young bus who led him over gave the guard at the door of the library a sign, and the guard glanced at Cheng Kun and waved him in.

Although he had heard the people around him talk about it many times in advance, after actually entering the secret vault, Cheng Kun was still taken aback, because the number of books stored in it was too much.

All the books are placed on the shelves, each of which is two meters high, and is divided into five floors, each of which is full of books, and such bookshelves are placed in hundreds of them in this secret vault.

Before he could take out the book and flip through it, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Look, I'll just say, how can this guy bear this opportunity, it's not that he rushed over soon after he arrived, take out all the money." ”

Cheng Kun turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was not Tian Huayu, who else could this guy be. And next to him, Ling Zhen, Luo Rongjun and Gai Yuntian were also there, and he was also a little familiar with the people inside, but they were also other people from the Dingshan Army.

Obviously, everyone had the same idea, and after settling in, they all rushed over non-stop.
