Chapter 48: Small Flag

Wu Yuan quickly got into the role. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked Wu Nian: "How many people do you have?"

He knew that Wu Nian was very popular, but killing the general banner was a capital crime after all. Not all the people under Wu Nian would risk their lives to do it.

While speaking, he turned to look at Tieniu, raised his voice, and thought to himself, "These two must count."

"There are five of us, including me."

Wu Nian shook his head and said: "We have no chance from the front. Unless we have fifty people, we can storm Chengfu and kill Chenggao."

"We have to find opportunities."

"It will be the New Year's Eve in another month." Wu Yuan sneered, moved his body to make himself more comfortable, then raised his head and said: "Every year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Gao takes his wife to Nian Mountain in the north.

Fort, to visit my parents-in-law."

Nianshan Fort is not far away from here, only thirty miles of mountain road. It belongs to the same Thousand Households as Beishan Fort.

Military households rarely marry women from civilian households. Cheng Gao's wife is from Nianshanbao, who is also a military household.

Wu Nian's eyes lit up. This was good information. He asked impatiently: "How many people will he take?"

"The private soldiers are all accompanying us, plus some domestic slaves and coachmen. There will be no more than twenty people." Wu Yuan sold Cheng Gao at once, with excitement in his tone.

The pleasure of revenge made him feel the ultimate happiness. Even the wounds on his back didn't seem to hurt that much anymore.

Tieniu and Zhang Sheng both frowned, even if they were tall, there were only twenty of them.

There are only six of them including Wu Yuan.

It's hard to say whether it will work or not.

"Sir Xiaoqi, let's bring all the new recruits. Only with enough people can we be safe." Zhang Sheng raised his head and said.

Wu Nian shook his head and said decisively: "The time they followed me was too short and they are not very reliable. This is a capital crime. We cannot take risks."

"That's right. It would be better to have fewer people than to find unreliable people." Wu Yuan also nodded and said.

"There are only six of us!!!" Zhang Sheng said hesitantly.

Wu Nian also felt that six people were too few, so he turned to look at Wu Yuan and said: "Weren't you the leader of the married family soldiers before? Can you bring in a few traitors?"

"Impossible. These soldiers are the sons of married slaves and are very loyal to their masters. They don't have the courage I have."

Wu Yuan shook his head decisively.

"Then we can only go up to the six of us. We have a great chance of winning if we are surprised and ambushed." Wu Nian was a little regretful, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to do it.

The night is long and there are many dreams.

Cheng Gao, this guy is immortal, like a awn on his back, he can't sleep at night.

"Okay." Wu Yuan nodded without hesitation.

Now that the agreement was made, there was no need to stay here any longer. Wu Nian did not forget his original intention of visiting the doctor and left behind live chickens and fine wine. He took Tieniu and Zhang Sheng back to Beishan Fort and entered the Wu family

Rest in the bedroom in the small courtyard.

His small bedroom used to house five people, but now only three of them were left there, making it much more spacious.

The next day.

"Brother, Tieniu, Zhang Sheng, it's time to eat."

The three grown men slept deeply until Liu Xiang called for dinner outside the house. The three of them got up together, washed themselves, and went to the kitchen to eat.

"Madam." Tieniu spoke in a polite manner and first bowed to Liu Xiang with a fist in his hand.

Liu Xiang hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I've said it many times, you can just call me Liu Xiang. It's embarrassing to call me Madam."

In fact, she felt very sweet.

Mrs. Xiaoqi.

There are only thirteen officials in Beishan Fort and only thirteen official wives. She is one of them.

This is the status I earned through my brother.

We eat in front of a square table. On the table is a plate of pickles for rice, and each person has a large bowl of rice and an egg.

The four of them each took their own side, with Liu Xiang sitting next to Wu Nian. She peeled the eggs and put them on Wu Nian's bowl.

Wu Nian has told her many times that she doesn't need to take such meticulous care of me. But Liu Xiang just doesn't listen. She likes him, deep in her bones.

The four of them had breakfast, and the grown men walked away, leaving Liu Xiang to clean up the dishes.

Today is not a training day, but if Wu Nian has nothing to do, he will go for a run. He took Tieniu and Zhang Sheng out of Beishan Fort, took a walk to digest breakfast, and then ran around Beishan Fort five times.

Then I returned to my small courtyard sweating profusely.

By now it was already three poles high.

"Hey, Xiaonian." As soon as Wu Nian crossed the threshold, he heard someone calling him. When he looked back, it turned out to be General Flag Li Kun.

I saw him looking happy and bringing many guys with him.

A horse and some domestic slaves holding gongs and playing drums.

Wu Nian was also an old military man, and he realized it immediately. His eyes lit up, he hurriedly took Tieniu with him, and greeted him with a loud voice, saying happily: "Master General Banner, has my appointment document come down?"

Although he was appointed as Xiaoqi, the accuracy is 99%.

But if the appointment documents from the imperial court are not issued, the matter may go wrong. But when the imperial court documents are issued, it will be a real deal.

"It's coming down, it's coming down. Here are the official documents, the seal, and Li Ding's armor, which has been modified and is now yours."

Li Kun looked happy and turned to wink at the slaves. Immediately, several slaves came up holding armors, knives, and a plate with seals and documents.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir." Wu Nian hurriedly bowed and saluted.

This matter should have been Cheng Gao's business. He was Xiao Qi under Cheng Gao, not Li Kun's subordinate.

Tieniu, with a very discerning Zhang Sheng, stepped forward, took the armor, knife, and plate, and carried them into the small courtyard.

"Sir Xiaoqi, go put on your armor and hang up your sword. Get on your horse and take a walk." Li Kun pointed at the horse he brought with him and said with a smile.

Follow the unwritten rules.

Once a person in Beishan Fort became an official or was promoted to a high position, he had to parade through the streets on horseback and let all the military households come and see.

This symbolizes that Wu Nian officially entered the ruling class.

Wu Nian is not a hypocritical person, just do as the Romans do.

"Thank you, Lord General." Wu Nian thanked him, and then returned to his small courtyard. With the help of Tieniu and Zhang Sheng, he put on the armor that weighed dozens of kilograms.

Putting on the armor, Wu Nian felt his whole body sinking and moved his body uncomfortably. Being a warrior also requires strong capital.

Otherwise, wearing such heavy armor would make it difficult to move, let alone kill people.

Fortunately, Wu Nian had become strong after exercising during this period. After he got used to it, he took steps and moved to the side of the horse easily. He stepped on the stirrup and turned over vigorously.

This is a black horse. It looks very strong, but it is actually a horse that pulls a cart.

This horse should have been raised by one hundred households and was temporarily borrowed for use. It was not issued to him by the court.

Immediately, Tieniu came up to lead the horse. Zhang Sheng and the soldiers under Wu Nian who came after hearing the news followed the horse. Li Kun's domestic slaves held gongs and encouraged them to follow behind, forming a small team.

, and started to parade on horseback in Beishan Castle.

The lively sound attracted all the military households in the 100-household residence to come out of their homes and come to watch.
