Wei Min slammed the table excitedly, the smile on his face could not be concealed no matter what.
Wei Cheng also smiled slightly. In the battle at Shuofang Langshou Peak, he killed more than 13,000 enemies, captured more than 5,000, and harvested more than 6,000 horses. Unfortunately, more horses were stoned to death.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. You cannot have the slightest bit of Holy Mother's heart on the battlefield.
As soon as the good news arrived, many people in Anyi were alarmed.
Because the news was blocked in time, the people in Hedong still don't know that Shuo Fang is fighting. But this time Wei Cheng directly asked people to praise the achievements of Sima Yi, Zhao Feng and others in the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty", which meant that he did not want to hide it.
Already.
When they learned that Shuofang was being attacked by 200,000 Huns, the common people were frightened and frightened at first. However, seeing that 20,000 Huns were easily defeated in just one battle at Langshou Peak, everyone immediately calmed down and said no.
They say that if the sky falls, there will be tall people who can hold it up.
We are far away in Hedong County and we are afraid of birds.
As a result, what was most talked about in the streets was not the 200,000 Xiongnu army, but how talented Sima Yi was and how brave the soldiers were in killing the enemy.
Among them, the new list of the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" has also been sought after by the broad masses of the people.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a beauty list that everyone likes to see.
Instead, in order to cooperate with the Battle of Shuofang, the "List of Merit" was specially compiled and integrated.
The person currently at the head of the merit list is Sima Yi.
The main achievement is to formulate the strategy of Wolfshou Peak, show the enemy's weakness, and defeat the enemy. The military achievements have been mentioned before, so I won't go into details here.
The second-ranked person is a fresh face, and he is also the person who is talked about the most on the streets.
This person's name is: Zhao Feng, courtesy name Zihu, a Zhending person from Changshan, Jizhou.
The reason why he is ranked second on the list is all due to his ridiculously powerful gun tactics. One man, one gun and one horse, killed three in and three out of the Huns army. He killed 521 enemies in total, which was the best among the entire army.
.
Even the notorious Xu Huang, the commander-in-chief of the Longshan Army, is only ranked third this time.
It can be said that Zhao Feng became famous in one battle. Compared with Sima Yi, a little kid, the adult Zhao Feng made the public feel more recognized.
The most important thing is that Zhao Feng came from a poor family. What is a poor family? Only nobles from declining aristocratic families are considered a poor family.
Therefore, the news that Zhao Feng was from the Zhao family in Changshan spread like wildfire, immediately attracting the attention of many aristocratic families who wanted to marry their daughters to him.
It can be said that although Zhao Feng is not in Anyi, Anyi is already full of legends about Changshan Zhao Zihu.
Regarding this, Wei Cheng is happy to see the success.
He just wants the world to know that as long as he follows someone like me and works hard, even a pheasant can become a phoenix.
Of course, this is just a metaphor and is not meant to disparage Zhao Feng.
As long as people in the world understand this truth, it will be fine. If you want to get ahead, come to Hedong to find the Wei family.
In the north of the city, there is a crowded restaurant.
In a private seat on the second floor, several young men gathered around a copy of "The Great Han Dynasty Dragon and Tiger List" and marveled at it.
"Brother Xie, is this person really recommended by you to join the Longshan Army?"
Xie Hui chuckled and said: "It was Xie who recommended him personally. To be honest, when Xie saw Brother Zihu for the first time that day, he felt that Brother Zihu must be an invincible general in the future."
"Tch, you are the only one who can tell. There was a huge bear lying in front of Zhao Zihu that day. Even I could see that he was extraordinary. Can a person who dares to hunt a bear be a simple person?"
Xie Hui looked at the speaker and couldn't help curling his lips, "In hindsight, that's not what you said that day."
"Stop arguing, look here. Brother Xie, you have to ask your brother-in-law what he does for a living in the printing shop. Why is Zhao Zihu so heroic, only ranked 22nd on the Dragon and Tiger list? Is there an error in the data?
"
Xie Hui was startled when he heard this. He looked at the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" and frowned: "Yes, why is it only twenty-two? It is one place worse than Sun Bofu."
Just when a few people were wondering if the editor of "Dragon and Tiger List" had made some mistake, they heard an old voice from the next door seat saying: "What's so surprising? Some martial arts are suitable for killing enemies in battle, and some martial arts are suitable for single combat.
Fighting alone is not surprising."
When Xie Hui and others heard this, they all looked around.
I saw an old man with white hair and a slender face, accompanied by two young Taoist priests, a man and a woman. When he saw a few people looking over their heads, the old man casually raised his wine glass in greeting.
Xie Hui and others looked at each other, and one of the young masters asked curiously: "I'm so polite, old man, I dare to ask if this martial arts is really so sophisticated. In terms of combat power, Lu Fengxian is at the top of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, and he also made great achievements in the Hulao Pass.
Doesn’t this just mean that the higher the individual’s combat power, the more capable he is of killing enemies on the battlefield?”
When the old man heard this, he laughed and said: "I am talking about martial arts with you, but you are talking about people with me. People cannot be generalized. Different people are different. It is useless to talk more, hahaha."
"Hey, you old man..." Some young men felt that the old man was amusing them.
As soon as he spoke, he felt a cold light flash before his eyes. At some point, the male Taoist priest next to the old man pulled out a willow-leaf sword, and the blade fell straight on the tip of his nose.
The male Taoist priest said in a serious tone: "If you dare to be disrespectful to my master again, be careful with your tongue."
The female Taoist priest also glanced coldly at Xie Hui and the others, then picked up the jug on the side and added wine to the old man.
The old man laughed twice and said: "Xuan'er, it's not good for you to be too murderous. I will punish you by fasting for three days."
The male Taoist priest was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Master, we agreed to try Wei's food and wine, but why are you punishing me with fasting?"
The old man chuckled and said, "There is no other way. I don't have much money left. It's just enough for me and my son."
Hearing this, the female Taoist priest glanced at her senior brother, and then tested with Lao Weng: "Master, do you think Zhao Feng is my future husband?"
The old man smiled and said nothing.
The male Taoist priest said angrily: "Junior sister, master only said that your husband's surname is Zhao. It is useless no matter how much you ask about other things. You need to confirm it yourself."
The female Taoist priest snorted coldly and glared at the male Taoist priest.
At this time, Xie Hui and others looked at each other. Why did the three masters and apprentices start chatting all of a sudden? Do you think they are not here?
Perhaps sensing their doubts, the old man raised his head with a smile and said, "I dare to ask you gentlemen, where is the most popular delicacy in Anyi County? I don't have much of a hobby, but my appetite has never been satisfied.
.”
"Hey, you old man, everyone in the whole country knows that all the delicacies in the world are in the Wei Mansion. Even the delicacies in the restaurants in this city were invented by Wei Shijun. Let's talk about the wine we are drinking now...
…”
"Qinghe Daqu."
"Yes, this Qinghe Daqu is just the lowest kind of wine. Most people can't drink real good wine."
The young Taoist priest frowned slightly and said: "There is no wine in this world that people can't drink. It's just about the amount of money."
When Xie Hui heard this, he laughed and said: "No, no, if you don't believe me, just ask. How about I take you to see the world?"
When the three masters and disciples heard this, they immediately looked at each other and smiled.
The two senior brothers and sisters were a little sarcastic, while the old man smiled quietly and said: "Hahaha, okay, then let's go see the world."
Everyone left as soon as they wanted, and Xie Hui generously helped the master and apprentice buy the restaurant's order.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the most famous Juxian Tower in the north of the city.
It is also a place where drinking needs to be assessed. Those gathered here are famous students and celebrities from all over the world. Of course, the most numerous are the young masters from various aristocratic families. They have nothing to do and sit here all afternoon.
Xie Hui is a regular visitor here, and he was recognized by the waiter as soon as he walked in.
"Hurry up, there is someone here who needs to be assessed."
The boy raised his eyes and saw that the young masters were definitely not there. They were the old man in the middle and the two Taoist priests at the worst.
The old man always had a warm smile on his face. When he saw the boy looking at him, he said to the young Taoist priest on the side: "Xuan'er, go and try it."
When the young Taoist priest heard this, he nodded slightly and looked at the boy.
The boy hurriedly raised his hands and led the group to the middle of the hall.
At this time, a young scribe was already challenging. Seeing the challenge props, the young Taoist priest was stunned.
Even the old man and the female Taoist priest frowned slightly, and at the same time there was a hint of amazement in their plans.
Just because the prop used for the challenge turned out to be a barrel-shaped glass water cup.
Forget it if it is an ordinary water cup, the glass water tube is as tall as half a person and as wide as a human head.
There is a wooden ball inside, and the challenger is required to find a way to take the wooden ball out of the cup without touching the water bottle.
At this time, the challenger was trying with two pieces of bamboo. Unfortunately, the bamboos were too light and could not hold the weight of the wooden ball. A wooden stick could be used, but the wooden ball was close to the wall of the cylinder and was only one finger wide and thicker.
The wooden stick cannot be inserted in, and the thinner wooden stick will break with force...
A slight smile appeared on the young Taoist's lips. He had already thought of a way, so he asked the boy: "If I break this game, will it count as passing?"
When the young man heard this, he cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Of course, but we have to wait for this young master to give up voluntarily, otherwise, the Taoist priest can only challenge other projects."
The young scribe who was challenging heard this and looked back at the young Taoist priest. He didn't care at all. After seeing Xie Hui and others, he raised his hands and said, "In that case, Chen will give up and ask this Taoist priest to do it in person."
Please teach me."
The young scribe thought that this Taoist priest was invited by Xie Hui and others. It happened that he really had no way to take out the wooden ball, so he just wanted to be a favor and maybe get acquainted with Xie Hui and others in a while.
When the young Taoist priest heard this, he bowed his hands and said to the boy, "Please help me bring a bucket of water."
The boy's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the Taoist Priest for passing the first level. According to the rules of our store, the Taoist Priest can get a token. In the future, with the token, he can buy a pot of Luzhou Laojiao every day.
"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Why did this break the barrier? The Taoist just wanted water.
The young scribe who gave up the challenge also looked puzzled and a little angry. He immediately stepped forward and asked: "He just wanted a bucket of water, how come he passed the test?"
The young man was not annoyed, he raised his hands and said, "Since you have doubts, sir, let me show you how to do it."
The little boy rushed to the back kitchen and brought a bucket of water, and then poured it directly into the glass water bottle.
I saw that the wooden ball quickly floated out of the opening of the water tube under the action of buoyancy. It only needed to reach out and pull it out.
Someone in the crowd lamented: "That's it, so simple?"
Even the young scribe also had a look of regret on his face, "Oh, why did I forget that this ball is made of wood, and wood can float on the water."
The old man laughed and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, the principles of this world are easy to understand. The person who asked this question wants to use this to warn you, don't underestimate the water, trees and flowers in daily life.
Hey, keep observing, maybe the answers to many questions are hidden around you."
When the young scholar heard this, he bowed his hands in shame and said, "What the old man taught me is that Chen is narrow-minded."
The old man chuckled, looked at the young man, and said, "Little friend, quickly bring that Luzhou Laojiao."
The boy looked at the young Taoist priest and saw him nodding, so he brought a jug of wine and thoughtfully prepared a small wine bottle for drinking.
"This is very strong. Old people should have a drink and don't be greedy."
"Save it, save it, Yi'er, hurry up and pour the wine."
The female Taoist priest stepped forward to take the wine bottle, unscrewed the cork, and her eyes lit up, "It's really good wine, such a strong aroma."
The old man was even more impatient. He pushed the wine bottle forward and said, "Pour it in, pour it in."
The female Taoist priest was about to pour the wine when she suddenly had an idea. She took the wine bottle back and asked, "You can also pour the wine if you want me to. Master, you have to tell me first. Is Zhao Feng my future husband?"
The old man frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "I can't say, I can't say. All you need to know is that your future husband's surname is Zhao. As for who he is specifically, I dare not say, and I can't say. Needless to say, when the fate comes, you will naturally
You can meet him."
The female Taoist priest was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she realized that the old man had taken away the jug in her hand.
Only the young Taoist priest present saw the old man's actions, the others just exclaimed in surprise.
Xie Hui's eyes lit up, "This old man is so capable!"
The old man unscrewed the bottle cork and said with a chuckle: "It doesn't count, it doesn't count, it's just a little trick of a witherworm."
After smelling the wine in the flask, the old man enjoyed it very much and smacked his lips.
I didn't see him making any moves. He just turned his hand and a simple wine gourd appeared in his hand.
Now everyone could see clearly that the old man was wearing nothing but coarse linen clothes. So where did the wine gourd come from? Could it be that it was conjured out of thin air?
Xie Hui even shouted excitedly: "This is magic, created out of nothing!"
The old man chuckled and poured the wine from the jug into the gourd. He was not very careful, but the wine seemed to have come to life and was accurately poured into the mouth of the gourd, which was only as thick as a little finger.
This show of skill even made everyone's scalp numb, and they applauded loudly, and everyone regarded the old man as an old god.
"Young, it's so lively today!"
At this moment, Wei Cheng and Dian Wei walked into the restaurant one after another. As soon as they entered, they saw the old man's magical operation.
Wei Cheng unconsciously thought of a text in his mind, "The Oil Seller," so he wasn't surprised at all. He was just familiar with it.
