Chapter 048 I'm Not Interested In You (Sanjiang Ticket)
"Yuan Xiu, are you finished?" Zhuge Qiao's face really darkened this time. The undisguised displeasure in his tone surprised Yang Wei. He glanced at him subconsciously and stepped aside obediently. Zhuge Qiao
Qiao held Wei Ba's arm and said with a forced smile: "Brother Wei, he is like this, you don't have to worry about it. Come on, let's sit in front."
Wei Ba said humbly: "It is inevitable for us to have inappropriate words when we compare with each other. Naturally, I won't take it to heart, and I don't think Yang Jun will care about me. Yang Jun, don't you think so?"
Yang Wei was bewildered by Zhuge Qiao's sudden anger. When he saw Wei Ba acting obediently, he didn't think much for a moment and just snorted. Wei Ba ignored him, with a gentle and humble smile on his face, and followed.
Zhuge Qiao walked to the big tent. He looked at the two obviously different positions, waved his hands quickly and said: "Brother Zhuge, I am not just a white man, how dare I sit here?"
Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but push him to the table, put his hands on his shoulders, stared into his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Brother Wei, the Prime Minister asked me to hold this party today, and I have the task of recruiting talents for the country. You
As long as you have talent, you will no longer be in vain."
Wei Ba looked at the strange looks from around him and shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that this position was not easy to sit in, and he was able to sit in this position probably not because of his talent. From the look in Yang Wei's eyes,
, he could feel the undisguised hostility. However, since Zhuge Qiao insisted that he sit, he didn't have to sit if he didn't want to.
Zhuge Qiao straightened up and clapped his hands. The people who were whispering immediately fell silent. They looked at Zhuge Qiao with bright eyes, waiting for him to announce the start of the competition. Zhuge Qiao enjoyed the attention of everyone, with a reserved and calm smile on his face.
. He said loudly: "This small gathering is held today. Firstly, we will communicate and learn from each other and enhance each other. Secondly, the Prime Minister is leading the Northern Expedition. There are many things to do. Although we can't do anything big, we can't waste our time. Prime Minister
If there is an order, a few people from among you will be selected for trial, and they will be responsible for transporting grain and grass from Chengdu to Guanzhong to test their abilities. Those with high and extraordinary talents will be selected into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and will accompany the Prime Minister to help with state affairs."
All the young people were very excited after hearing this. Whether they were transporting grain from Chengdu to Hanzhong or working in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was a high starting point for their official careers. The Prime Minister's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of the Han Dynasty was so great.
It is a very exciting thing to be involved in a career. Transporting grain from Chengdu to Hanzhong is very important, but it is also very safe because it is far away from the real battlefield. It is a place where you can both get credit and
It's not life-threatening.
More importantly, Zhuge Qiao will most likely be responsible for this matter. The Prime Minister's training of Zhuge Qiao is obvious to all. He is strict but caring. Being able to work with Zhuge Qiao is obviously a golden opportunity.
As for entering the Prime Minister's house and working beside the Prime Minister, let alone that.
So everyone stood up, including Guan Xing and Zhang Shao, and clasped their fists in response. Wei Ba did not dare to neglect, and stood up as well, following suit. He glanced around and saw the man in the wheelchair.
Fu Xing couldn't help but look dim. These two things had nothing to do with Fu Xing.
"Everyone, please sit down." Zhuge Qiao said loudly: "In fact, it is very simple. It is nothing more than a civil and military career. You can estimate for yourself what your strengths and interests are, and whether you would like to pursue a military career or a civilian career. I wish.
Those who are taking the martial arts test can start preparing now and start the competition right away. There are two contents: one is archery skills, and the other is the test on the art of war. Those who are taking the civil service test can also start preparing now. The content is very simple: one poem and one poem each.
, there is no limit to the content, just one essay, with the title of the Northern Expedition. If anyone has both civil and military skills and wants to try both civil and military positions at the same time, of course he can."
After Zhuge Qiao finished speaking, he leaned back and said, "Everyone, today's civil and military examiners are in the tent. The civil examiner is Wei Gong Yang Canjun, and the martial arts examiner is Yuanshan Ma Xiaowei."
There were guards on both sides who came forward to lift up the tent door. Yang Yi took the lead in walking out with his hands behind his back. He glanced around confidently, his eyes paused on Wei Ba's face for a moment, and then drifted over. Wei Ba didn't take it seriously, but was followed by Yang Yi.
The two people who walked out behind were shocked.
Ma Dai actually became an examiner? He was just a school lieutenant. What qualifications did he have to be an examiner? Most of the generals in this camp were busy, so how could a school lieutenant be the examiner? What did Zhuge Liang mean? Was he trying to win over Ma Dai?
Home?
Wei Ba stared at Ma Dai, but the girl behind Ma Dai thought he was staring at her. She snorted in displeasure and turned her head away. Unexpectedly, Wei Ba was completely indifferent and continued to look at Ma Dai, making quick guesses in his mind.
Zhuge Liang's intention behind this arrangement.
"Brother Wei, Brother Wei?" Seeing him like this, Zhuge Qiao thought he was staring at the girl and hurriedly pulled him. Only then did Wei Ba come back to his senses and hurriedly smiled and said: "Sorry, I'm rude.
.”
Zhuge Qiao didn't say anything, but politely invited Yang Yi and Ma Dai to take the most distinguished seats in front of the table. Yang Yi took the seat proudly, but Ma Dai held his hands and stood politely. He waited for Yang Yi to sit down before taking the seat.
The girl sat behind him, her head lowered, with a hint of anger on her face. She always felt that Wei Ba had been looking at her, and her face slowly became warm. After a while, she took a peek at Wei Ba, only to find that
Wei Ba didn't pay attention to her at all. He was talking to Zhuge Qiao, not knowing what they were talking about. He was smiling happily, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment in his heart, and then he felt ashamed for his own thoughtfulness.
Those who were going to try out their martial arts skills had already begun to prepare. Ten arrows were placed on the open space in front of the tent for them to test their archery skills. Martial arts are actually very simple, especially the martial arts of fighting in battle. Riding and archery are the first-class martial arts.
Then there is fighting with long soldiers and short swords, and martial arts on foot have reached the third level. However, there is a shortage of horses in Shu. There are not many people who are truly proficient in mounted archery or horse fighting. Most of them are swordsmanship in addition to foot shooting.
This is not one of those flower knives, but a real killing sword technique used on the battlefield. The emphasis is on simplicity and effectiveness. Such sword techniques are not suitable for comparison. The main thing I want to try today is archery.
Zhuge Qiao turned to Wei Ba and said, "Brother Wei, are you interested in giving it a try?"
Wei Ba laughed and waved his hands: "Brother Zhuge, if you want to test your martial arts, you shouldn't come to me. You should come to my brother. Even my brother Wei Wu is better than me. I'm sorry, I will never participate.
Yes, to tell you the truth, I have never touched a bow or shot an arrow. You'd better let me go, or I'll quit now."
Zhuge Qiao also laughed, not reluctantly: "Then let's watch them shoot arrows first."
"So, Wei Jun really wants to give up martial arts and become civil servants, and he also wants to take part in the civil service competition?" Yang Wei came over again with a lingering spirit, and said with a nonchalant smile: "If I can compete with Wei Jun on the same stage, I might become a colleague in the future.
, what an honor.”
Wei Ba was speechless, thinking that I don't want to see you at all, why are you coming up to me? He was depressed, but his face didn't show anything, and said with a smile: "Yang Jun is too polite, how can I dare to compete with Yang Jun on the same stage? I
I am here to appreciate your martial arts and literary talents and to open my eyes."
"Wei Jun is too polite." Yang Wei smiled sinisterly, "Wei Jun is so talented that we can't even match him. It's better not to disturb Wei Jun's appreciation. I will come up with ideas first to avoid losing too ugly later."
Wei Ba looked at Yang Wei, who had a smug look on his face, and felt uneasy. I don't know a word of poetry or policy. Even if I could barely write it down, it would definitely be a laughing stock, and I would be embarrassed.
How can dad spare me? He looked at Zhuge Qiao with a guilty conscience, thinking that this kid is looking for trouble, and he insists on letting me come to this party. It's good now, and it's hard to get off the horse.
With my thoughts in mind, I was no longer even interested in watching people shoot arrows. Many people showed off their archery skills, and there were many excellent ones, which caused bursts of applause. It is said that at the end of the Han Dynasty, culture was emphasized over martial arts, but the Shu Kingdom was very abnormal. Maybe
It was because during the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, warriors were in power. Perhaps it was because since they took on the title of Han Dynasty, they had to aim at reviving the Han Dynasty. The Shu Han Dynasty valued military positions more, at least on the surface. Even many literati followed Liu Bei.
Most of those who entered Sichuan were military generals, and there were quite a few of their disciples who were proficient in martial arts, but not many were pure scholars. This can be seen from the fact that many of the young people who participated in the comparison chose military positions.
However, for Wei Ba, taking turns to shoot arrows one after another is too boring. After looking at a few, except for a few with particularly accurate archery skills, most of them are ordinary people. There is no need to score, and the competition is fierce.
Limited, Wei Ba had his own thoughts, and soon lost interest and began to be in a daze. I don't know if it was the instinct of a male animal, but his dull eyes naturally fell on the only female present - the girl in white.
The girl soon noticed his gaze and was very angry. However, since she took the initiative to show her eyes in public, she had to let others see her. Although Wei Ba's gaze was rude, she could only endure it and couldn't get angry for the moment.
But Wei Ba's unblinking and undisguised eyes were really unbearable. She felt like she was sitting on a thorn, and like her body was crawling with disgusting bugs, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
She couldn't help but turn around and glare at Wei Ba. Wei Ba, who was lost in thought, was startled and shuddered. Only then did he realize his ugly appearance. He laughed twice awkwardly, turned his head, but was shocked. Yang
Wei's pretty face was only three inches away from him.
"Oh, Yang Jun, what are you..."
Yang Wei looked at Wei Ba with disdain, lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice: "Wei Jun, everyone has the desire to admire Ai. But in broad daylight, shouldn't Wei Jun be more restrained?"
Wei Ba knew that the feud between his father and Yang Yi was so deep that he would never resolve it in this life, so no matter how polite he was to the boy, he would not take it seriously. He would lose his prestige in vain, so it would be better to point the needle at Maimang.
, hit him head-on and make him retreat in spite of the difficulty.
He lowered his head and was silent for a moment. When he raised his head again, his eyes had lost all the false politeness and became sharp and bitter, a hundred times more harsh than Yang Wei. He also lowered his voice and said with a smile: "I don't care, it's none of your business."
What's the matter? Why are you bringing your face so close? Although I admire you, I have no interest in men's style. Please move your butt farther away."——The third update is here, please vote for Sanjiang. Lao Zhuang found out
I made a mistake. When I first opened a new book, I only thought about the 30 days and 200,000 word limit. I thought that two chapters a day and 3,000 per chapter would just meet the requirements. But I forgot about the need to ask for votes, so
Now we are facing a dilemma. If we want to add more updates, we will be removed from the list in advance. If we don’t add more updates, we will be ashamed of your support. If I had been smarter and set the word count of each chapter to just over 2,000, I wouldn’t have
We are in the current predicament. But the matter has come to this, and there is no point in regretting it. Although there is the great god Ao Wuchang in front of me, there is no hope for the first place in Sanjiang, but I still have to fight for the second place, at least I have to work hard. No matter what the new book issue is,
As long as you can keep me from falling from the second position, I will update three times a day and take this as proof. If... Oh, no more, you know. In addition, please recommend and collect, the new book period is half over
, whether Lao and Zhuang can go smoothly next depends entirely on your efforts. Anyway, Lao and Zhuang will not discount the update.
