"It's too much, it's too much. How can Huang Xu be so virtuous?"
Wei Jue was almost bursting with jealousy. The three generations of the Wei family nearby looked at each other. They thought the words were good-looking, but they didn't feel anything at all.
After all, these people don't know Huang Xu, so they are not as envious and depressed as Wei Jue.
"Brother Six, if you don't want to read it, can you give it back to me? I paid for the twenty coins." The young man muttered to the side.
When Wei Jue heard this, he glared fiercely and said, "Who said I won't read it, huh."
The young man looked at the others aggrievedly, not wanting to get more than bursts of snickers.
Like those people outside, Wei Jue is a loyal reader of "The Great Han Dragon and Tiger List". He will read every issue of "The Great Han Dragon and Tiger List" in detail to see if the combat power list has been updated, but he hopes that he will also
He can be praised like: Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others.
But he never expected that this issue of "The Great Han Dragon and Tiger List" would actually become Huang Xu's famous list.
Jealousy made people blush, and the story was so well written that he couldn't bear to look away, so he could only silently replace Huang Xu's name with his own... It was full of immersion.
"Sixth Master, Sixth Master, Second Master wants you to come over."
Outside the courtyard gate, a pretty maid ran in panting, first gave her a blessing, and then said.
Wei Jue was startled at first, then stood up hurriedly, frowning and said: "Second brother came to me, what did you say?"
The maid shook her head, patted her small chest, and responded while panting: "I didn't say anything, I just asked Mr. Liu to come here because there is something urgent."
Wei Jue nodded slightly, returned the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" to the young man beside him, and asked: "Buy a copy for me later."
Ai Ai Ying, a teenager, looked at Wei Jue's leaving figure with envy, wondering when he would be summoned by his second brother.
At this time, many people came to Dongyuan, where Wei Cheng and his wife were staying.
More than half of them are the younger generation of the Wei family, and naturally the majority of them are concubines and children from side branches.
When Wei Jue hurried over, he couldn't help but become nervous when he saw this scene, because many of them were his competitors.
"I've met Mr. Six."
When everyone sees Wei Jue from their master's house, the etiquette they should have is naturally indispensable, even if many of them are not convinced by Wei Jue.
Wei Jue clasped his fists in return and asked one of the tall and tall young men, "Wei Feng, are you all called here by your second brother?"
Young Wei Feng was dressed in standard Longshan Army attire, with a huge ax-shaped weapon coiled behind his back.
When Wei Jue came to ask, Wei Feng clasped his fists and saluted, nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, we have just been informed that we should come to the Wei Mansion. It is said that the second master has summoned me for something urgent."
Wei Jue nodded and looked at several other young men. They were either sergeants of the Longshan Army or members of the Dragon Breath Team. Among them were members of the secret guards under Wei Gong and teachers from Heluo Academy...
Basically, all the talented youngsters from the younger generation of the Wei family were present.
At this time, Wei Cheng walked out of the yard with Xu Chu and Wei Gong.
Behind him were Xu Shu, Sima Yi, and Cai Heng, the three initial members of Shuofang's team.
"Second brother, third brother."
"I've met the second and third masters!"
Wei Cheng said 'hmm', glanced around, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, it seems that my Wei family is full of talents."
Everyone looked at each other with pride. Being praised by Wei Cheng seemed to be an incredible recognition.
Wei Teng motioned for everyone to sit down and talk, and the butler Wei Mu brought a futon with several maids.
The sun is shining brightly at this time, and the warm sunshine has dispelled the coolness of the cold spring.
Wei Teng sat on the Taishi chair that Xu Chu had brought, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained. Today is Xiu Mu in Japan. Naturally, I asked you to come here to talk about some private matters."
At this time, Wei Gong frowned and said, "Second brother, Zian hasn't come yet."
Wei Cheng frowned slightly.
At this moment, Wei Xun ran over quickly with his clothes in hand, with a look of panic on his face. Wei Cheng was late for summoning him for the first time.
Wei Jue looked back and smiled happily.
"Second brother, third brother."
Wei Xunchen bowed to Wei Cheng in fear.
Wei Cheng looked him up and down, saw mud on his shoes, and asked curiously: "Did you go outside the city?"
Wei Xun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Yes, I went to the greenhouse, so I was a little late."
The greenhouse is a vegetable greenhouse. Wei Gong on the side frowned and said, "Uncle Wu asked you to take a good look at Huangfuli. You won't take him to the greenhouse, right?"
Wei Xun's expression changed drastically. He looked at Wei Gong and then Wei Cheng at a loss. He hesitated and said: "I, I didn't know that the greenhouse couldn't..."
"Okay, he who doesn't know is not guilty. What's more, forget it, you can sit down too." Wei Cheng waved his hand.
Before, Wei Cheng heard from his aunt Wei Min that his second uncle Wei Min and his wife Yan lived in two places. Wei Xun grew up in his mother's house in Lujiang, and he was closer to his mother. Now the Wei family is famous all over the world, and Yan in Lujiang
Shi then climbed over to her again, which made her very disdainful.
From Wei Cheng's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. Wei Cheng should take more care of his second uncle Wei Min's only son.
"Okay, everyone should really be here this time."
Wei Cheng said, and glanced at Wei Xun without any trace, only to see him lowering his head lonely, not daring to look directly at others.
I sighed in my heart.
Wei Cheng continued: "You all know that I, the Wei family, are going to build a new city in Shuofang. I am anxious to come to you this time because I want to ask you if anyone wants to experience it. This is one of them."
Wei Jue and others looked at each other and started whispering for a moment.
They naturally knew the news that Wei Cheng was going to build a new city in Shuofang. This news was not hidden from the public from the beginning. Not only did they know it, but all the aristocratic families in Hedong County also got the news.
"Quiet!" Emiya shouted in a deep voice.
Everyone was as silent as cicadas.
Wei Cheng continued: "Secondly, you have talents, which has been recognized a lot in the past six months."
Wei Xun, who was sitting in the corner, thumped. He had not made any achievements yet. Unlike Wei Xun, he had no experience in the city guard army, nor did he serve in the Longshan army like other branches and concubines.
Wei Cheng did not look at him, but said: "But are you willing to be a pawn for the rest of your life?"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and then the young man named Wei Feng proudly stood up and said, "I am willing to listen to the second master's orders, not to mention Shuofang, but even the Huns Beiting. I, Wei Feng, dare to go there."
When Wei Cheng heard this, he looked at him with interest, nodded with a smile, and asked Xu Zhu beside him, "Is this the disciple Gongming accepted?"
Xu Chu nodded slightly with a serious smile, and looked at Wei Feng with a hint of approval in his eyes.
Wei Cheng looked at the rest of the people and saw that many of them had expressions of emotion on their faces, but they were not as showy as Wei Feng, so he smiled and said: "Okay, then Wei Feng is the commander-in-chief of Shuofang Longshan Army."
Got it!"
"ah?"
"General Soldier!"
There was an uproar among the disciples, and Wei Jue stood up even more jealously, "Second brother, I, I..."
"Sit down."
Wei Cheng glared at him angrily, then pointed at Wei Feng, gesturing for him to come to her.
Wei Feng was so excited that his breathing became rapid. He walked up to Wei Cheng, knelt down alone and bowed heavily.
"After you go back, ask your master for advice on the responsibilities of the General Soldier. Don't ruin the reputation of my Wei family. In ten days, you will lead two thousand Longshan troops to accompany Governor Xu's army to the north."
"Governor Xu?"
Wei Cheng waved behind him, and Xu Shu stepped forward with an indifferent expression, cupping his fists to signal to Wei Feng.
Wei Feng raised his thick eyebrows, hesitated for only a moment, then stood up and clasped his fists in salute, "Wei Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Longshan Army in Shuofang, has met Governor Xu."
···
at the same time.
Xie's residence.
Grandpa Xie is also summoning the younger generation of Xie family members.
Xie Jin rarely held a broken knife today, and Xie Yu, who was holding a red tasseled fire gun, stood behind old lady Xie on the left and right.
On the martial arts field in front of the three of them, two young men were competing with each other with long sticks and bamboo knives.
On the other side of the martial arts arena, several second-generation Xie family members were commenting and talking and laughing. When they saw the wonderful things, they couldn't help but clapped their hands and applauded.
There are also talented people in the third generation of the Xie family. Although they have little experience, they are also rare leaders among the younger generation.
When Mr. Xie was young, he was also a man of both civil and military skills, and was familiar with swords, guns, and sticks. In his view, the performance of his descendants today is also remarkable, so he smiled and was very pleased.
"Okay, Kang'er, Jing'er, you don't have to fight anymore." Old Mrs. Xie smiled and stopped the fight between the two.
When the two young men heard this, they stopped their movements at the same time and saluted old lady Xie with clasped fists.
"Tomorrow you will report to Dingjunfang outside the city. With your strength, you are enough to join the Longshan Army. It's just a pity, Zong'er, that your real body shape is still a little bit worse. However, with your archery skills, you can join the Longshan Army.
The possibility of resting on experience.”
The three people who were named walked up to Mr. Xie. They usually showed off their power outside, but they didn't dare to breathe when they saw Mr. Xie.
"My ancestor, Dragon Breath is not so easy to join. In my opinion, the third brother should join the city guard. The third brother has read all the classics, has practiced both civil and military skills, and has a talent for management. He may be valued by Mr. Tian."
Xie Yu glanced at the three of them and suddenly stood up and made a suggestion.
The young man who was named changed his expression. He was the son of a concubine. He naturally did not dare to be disrespectful to Xie Yu, a legitimate son. However, as it related to future achievements, at this time he could not help but feel a little angry and dare not speak out. He felt that Xie Yu
You are deliberately suppressing him.
Who doesn't know that the strongest members of the Wei family are the Longshan Army and the Longxi Guards? The city guards... to put it bluntly, they are just a group of pawns who look after homes and courtyards.
Seeing old lady Xie frowning and thinking, as if considering Xie Yu's proposal, Xie Zhen stopped talking.
At this time, Xie Jin said: "Zong'er, do you think that if you go to the city guard, you will be inferior to the Longshan Army and the Longxi Guard?"
Xie Zhen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I don't dare, my nephew will listen to my ancestor."
When Old Master Xie saw this, he twisted his beard and said with a smile: "That's the bad thing about you kid. Yu'er and you are blood relatives. How could she harm you? I just didn't think carefully. Now think about it, in fact
The City Guard is the best place to gain experience."
"This time you are going to the royal city of the Southern Huns. If everything goes well, the city guards will face one hundred thousand Southern Huns in the future. No, not just the Huns, there may be Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang and other ten people among them.
A few foreigners."
"Tong'er, you have been gifted with languages since you were a child. Not only can you speak the Xiongnu language, but you have also written many foreign travel notes. In this way, I almost missed your future. If you can gain a stable foothold in this city guard, you will definitely be able to...
…”
"Ancestor!"
Xie Yu hurriedly interrupted Mr. Xie, fearing that he would say something he shouldn't have said.
Knowing that he had made a mistake, old man Xie laughed and looked at Xie Yu. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Xie Yu smiled and said to Xie Zong: "Third brother, you just went to the city guard. I believe that with your talents, you will definitely be able to make a career. When the time comes, you will definitely thank me when you think about what happened today.
Sister."
Old Master Xie smiled and nodded repeatedly with Xie Zhen.
Xie Zong was not stupid. Looking at the changes in the expressions of the old man and Xie Yu just now, he realized that even the city guards were not simple. Based on what the old man said, Shuofang was a place where foreigners gathered, and he did have an innate advantage in language.
Moreover, in the future, the Wei family will... Thinking of this, Xie Zhen's eyes lit up.
Full of shame, he cupped his fists and saluted Xie Yu, "Now I have shown my heart as a villain. Please don't worry about it, sister."
Xie Yu returned the gift, nodded and said, "Third brother, you don't have to be like this. We are a family, and we may need to be taken care of by third brother in the future."
Xie Ye smiled bitterly in his heart, it's you who take care of me. The one you want to marry is the first person in the future.
"Okay, it's settled. Except for Xie Zhen who went to the city guard, everyone else will try the selection of Longshan Army and Longxi Guard. Of course, everything should be done according to one's ability. The selection is very harsh, don't try to force yourself to advance.
, but harmed yourself.”
"yes!"
The same scene is also happening in various aristocratic families in Anyi City.
This time, Wei's plan for Shuofang New City was not deliberately concealed, and he even called on the children of the aristocratic family to actively participate in it.
The Longshan Army, Longxi Guards, City Guards, and City Guards even recruited a large number of children from aristocratic families.
It's not that I have any dissatisfaction with the common people, but in this era, whether it is studying literature or practicing martial arts, the children of aristocratic families are definitely better off than ordinary people, and it is easier to cultivate talents.
Of course, among the people, there are also brave men who were murderers, water bandits, and bandits, such as Guan Yu, Hua Cun, Gan Ning... but these are a few special cases after all and cannot be generalized.
···
Outside the east gate of Anyi.
A convoy from Chenliu County is being inspected.
The city guards checked the bamboo signs all the way, and when they reached the middle of the motorcade, they were suddenly shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw a big man carrying a one-wheeled carriage. The carriage was filled with boxes of goods. Looking at the wheel on the other side was deeply sunk into the soil, I knew that the carriage was extremely heavy.
But the man was holding the car board with one hand, and was chewing on a worm in the other hand. He would finish one in twos, then take another one out of his arms and continue eating, as if he was reincarnated by a starving ghost.
Looking back, I saw the man's footprints coming all the way, with wheel marks on one side and footprints on the other. It was obvious that the man had carried the carriage all the way...
A middle-aged scribe from behind the motorcade hurriedly ran over, respectfully raised his hands and asked, "Two military masters, has this guy offended you two?"
The city guards looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "Nothing, I just saw him carrying the cart board and looked at it a few more times out of curiosity. Why don't you repair this broken carriage?"
The scribe secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a wry smile: "It was broken ten miles outside the city. Seeing that it was getting dark, I was in a hurry to enter the city and did not stop to repair it, which made the two military masters laugh."
When the city guards heard this, they all looked at the big man in surprise, "You mean, he walked ten miles carrying the carriage?"
The scribe nodded awkwardly and said with a smile: "You two military masters, don't worry, this guy can even hold the front tooth flag for twenty or thirty miles, and he can easily carry a carriage board. He just eats a little too much and looks a little fierce."
