Chapter 32
After listening to Zhang Yuan's story, Wu Gen realized why Master Qu came here in person today. Anyway, Shui Congyue had already left, so there was nothing we could do.
Looking at Wu Gen who looked like he had nothing to do with me, Jin Song's forehead was throbbing. The matter of robbing the law field could be big or small. The key was that Daxia Kingdom had lost face. The new captain couldn't lose face, so he came here.
Provoke trouble.
What should we do now? The noble man has gone, how can we explain it to Captain Yuwen?
You must know that Captain Yu Wen Yan Yu Wen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His father once served as Guanglu Qing. Although he has become an official, his connections still exist. His brother also serves in the center of the court. The two brothers are one civilized and one military.
The arrangement is not inappropriate.
Captain Yuwen had served as a civil servant in Guangluxun Middle School before he arrived, and he came here just to experience the transition.
Having lived in the court for a long time, some people have great ambitions and low abilities. They think they are familiar with military books, but they really look down on some old and rough old people in the Xiang army, so they do not stick to one style and promote some scholars to the government to cultivate their own team. Lin Ruoshi, Sun Hong
Everyone else falls into this category.
Moreover, he is very face-conscious, and is afraid that people in the Xiang army will not respect him, so he usually beats several music directors a lot.
As a transitional person, I always hope to make some political achievements to add a few more strokes to my resume so that I can return to the DPRK as soon as possible.
The last small battle in front of Fuming Pass was unexpectedly trumpeted as an unprecedented victory. However, this person did remember Wu Gen, a small person. If it weren't for his illiteracy, he might have been transferred to the mansion.
Why did Wu Gen's reward come so slowly in the first place, and it was only a small promotion? Someone in the captain's office made trouble at the beginning, saying that his background was shady, so he was exempted from promotion and was given some reward.
On the contrary, Colonel Yuwen fought against all opinions and made a compromise before being promoted to a higher position. According to this theory, Wu Gen should also thank Colonel Yuwen.
This time the Great Xia Kingdom sent a letter of provocation. If the nobleman leaves, in accordance with the principle of reciprocity, I am afraid that only the captain, who is familiar with military literature but has little practical experience, will go to war.
It's over. Thinking of this, Jin Song's heart sank. What should he do? If he can't find a way to deal with this matter, his life will be difficult. Colonel Yuwen's ability to manipulate people is very good.
He rolled his eyes and said: "Wu Gen, the other party named him to fight against the people in the Tribulation Field, and you participated in it at the beginning. Since the noble man has left, you can take part in his place."
Jin Song has decided in his heart that Captain Yuwen cannot be allowed to go into battle. Since the other party has named the person who wants to rob the court, he should take this into consideration and do the next best thing and let Wu Gen participate in the battle.
As one of them, Lieutenant Zhai of the Great Xia Kingdom will naturally not show up again. In this way, it is best to win, and it doesn't matter if you lose. Just let the Great Xia Kingdom gain some face.
Wu Gen was stunned when he heard this and quickly looked at Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan looked anxious and hurriedly stepped forward, "Sir, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Wu Gen is weak in force and has a low status. I'm afraid he will go to war..."
"Then what good idea do you have?" Jin Song interrupted Zhang Yuan, "Who should I let go? You, me, the commoner with a lower status, or Captain Yuwen.
I didn’t tell him to fight to the death, and he would just admit defeat if he couldn’t beat him. How could I, Jin Song, take matters of face so seriously? I have decided on this matter. I will report it to the captain when I return. Wu Gen, you should be responsible for these days.
If you work hard to make up for your shortcomings, you will have more chances to win.
Along the way up the mountain, I see that you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, and you can also use them during battles... Ahem, Zhang Yuan, go down the mountain and return to camp. Wu Gen has prepared what he needs in the past two days, and it is all up to you to personally arrange and take whatever you ask for."
"Sir... Your Majesty." Seeing Jin Song getting up to leave, Wu Gen became a little anxious, "Since I joined the Xiang Army, I have been diligent and hard-working. I have toiled hard even if I don't have any merit. You can't push me into the fire pit."
ah."
Jin Song smiled coldly, "Today on the way up the mountain, you deliberately and with bad intentions made Ben Qu Chang lose face. I have recorded this account. If you dare to shirk it again, you will be punished for the crime of contempt for your superiors. Let's go."
Wu Gen stepped forward and grabbed Jin Song's sleeves, pleading hard, "Chang Qu, I have also made meritorious service to the Xiang Army and served the Zhao State with loyalty. Please give me a way out."
There was a stabbing sound, and one of Jin Song's sleeves was torn off. Zhang Yuan and others looked at each other, and the situation became awkward.
Wu Gen was dumbfounded when he looked at the half sleeve in his hand. It was neither a matter of throwing it away nor a matter of not throwing it away.
Jin Song took a deep breath and said, "Add another charge of intending to murder Shangguan." He strode out of the courtyard and stopped when he reached the door. "Lead the way, maybe you still want to detain your superior."
Seeing that things were not going to change, Wu Gen had no choice but to lead a few people down the mountain with his head downcast.
Jin Song got on his horse and looked a little embarrassed compared to when he first arrived, full of energy and well-dressed. "Wu Gen, you can go to the camp these days and find a few people to practice your skills. It would be better to be more prepared before going into battle."
.”
"Hey." Wu Gen looked listlessly and watched the group of people urging their horses to leave.
Back on the mountain, Wu Gen took out the golden horn of the sandworm, sat under the tree and slowly sharpened the broken knife. This time the battle was inevitable. For the current plan, the only way was to be well prepared.
To be honest, Wu Gen didn't want to use too many small tricks. According to what Shui Congyue said, warriors must survive in death, and some life-and-death fighting opportunities are rare.
Sighing, Wu Gen walked to the house where Shui Congyue once lived and found a piece of exquisite soft armor. This set of soft armor was made of an unknown material. It was exquisitely named and could be worn close to the body, but it was extremely heavy. Before leaving,
At that time, Shui Congyue did not take it away, but apparently left it with Wu Gen.
Wearing the exquisite armor and covering him with a coat, he didn't feel bulky at all. After trying to take a step, Wu Gen finally understood why Shui Congyue was so physically strong. With soft armor on his body, it was difficult to even walk, let alone fight with others.
Walking to the place where Hou Shan Shui Cong Yue daily practiced, Wu Gen tried to set up a boxing stance, but did not move for a long time. One was to get used to the weight of the exquisite armor, and the other was to gather Qi. Of course, this Qi is not that Qi, not
The spiritual energy used by qi practitioners in their cultivation is the trace of true energy contained within themselves.
True qi, the innate original qi, is conceived bit by bit by warriors who have been tempered for thousands of times. Unlike qi practitioners who absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, true qi is born in the human world.
For a warrior, possessing true energy means that one has reached a higher level of cultivation, and some supernatural powers will gradually appear, allowing one to compete with other strangers. Wu Gen's true energy is still a bit weak, so it needs to be gathered slowly.
Worthy of use.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Gen gently flicked his arm, and a crackling sound came from the edge of his fist. It seemed casual, but in fact, the force of the flick was extremely strong, stirring up the invisible airflow around him and making an explosive sound.
Wu Gen's body was stretched out, his waist was slightly arched, his muscles were tense, and he moved forward step by step. Every time he took a step, he punched forward. His punches were restrained, his moves were clumsy, heavy as a mountain, but at the same time, he was light and spiritual in transition.
.
This is what I got from pondering in the ghost world. Those ancestors fought with the enemy with nothing more than simple straight, thrust, copy, split, buckle, whip, bomb, kick and other means. There were absolutely no fancy moves. Each move was powerful.
It is light, simple and practical, and the spirit flows between opening and closing.
Although he is a bit careless on weekdays, Wu Gen is not a stupid person. He has his own opinions on martial arts, but he is lazy by nature and has only tried it briefly.
This time Shui Congyue drank three moves before leaving, which aroused Wu Gen's desire to win. Indeed, the reason why means are means must be attached to the body before they can be effective. To pursue some small tricks too much is really to sacrifice the fundamentals.
After punching a thousand times in a row, Wu Gen turned pale and was sweating profusely. He lay on the ground panting heavily and couldn't even turn over. After resting for a while, Wu Gen struggled to get up to practice swordsmanship. At midnight, he just leaned on his sword.
Hold the knife and slowly go down the mountain.
This has been the case for many days.
During this period, Zhang Yuan sent people to bring herbs, meat and some supplies, and asked Wu Gen if he needed to go back to the camp and find some soldiers with high strength to practice, but Wu Gen declined. He experienced many lives and deaths in the ghost world.
Fighting, I no longer have any interest in these sparring matches.
On this day, Wu Gen was closing his eyes and meditating in the courtyard, when Zhang Yuan's voice came from the bottom of the mountain.
With a sigh of relief, Wu Gen got up and went down the mountain. What should come will always come.
After taking Zhang Yuan up the mountain, Wu Gen smiled and said, "Has it been decided that I will fight against Daxia? Who will my opponent be?"
"Oh, it's settled." Zhang Yuan sighed, "This time, the captains of both sides will not go out to fight, but will sit and watch. Each side will send one person, and the time will be seven days later. As for the opponent, you should know it, he will be at the execution ground that day.
Gan Xing was defeated. I heard that he took the initiative to ask for help, and Yuxue was humiliated that day."
"Are you Gan Xing..." Wu Gen recalled the green-faced man holding two maces. To be honest, he could survive Shui Congyue's three moves. His strength was indeed extraordinary.
"How confident is this person's fighting ability?" Zhang Yuan was a little nervous. After all, he had never seen this person take action. He heard that he was still a village commander, so he must have some skills.
Wu Gen shook his head and looked a little ugly, "This man has fought against Shui Congyue three times. Although he lost, his strength cannot be underestimated. Meeting him will be a bit tricky."
Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, looked around and whispered: "You can use some means, drugging and so on. What Captain Yuwen wants is the result. As long as you win, it doesn't matter if the means are dirty. Besides, I heard that as long as you defeat your opponent, Yuwen
The captain is willing to promote you to the captain's mansion, which is a shortcut to promotion."
Wu Genteng stood up, pointed at Zhang Yuan and said sternly, "Mr. Zhang, the head of Zhang Yuan, you always blame me for using dirty tricks, but today you are teasing me to play tricks. It's such a winning method, so don't do it."
Zhang Yuan glanced sideways and said, "Okay, stop being a bitch and pretend to be serious. Just move your fingers and I'll know what your kid is thinking. Since we're going against another country, it's not shameful to use some conspiracy tactics."
Then he threw a bottle of wine over and said, "I'll take a sip with you today, which can be considered a solo trip."
Wu Gen took the wine bottle, opened the cork and smelled it, his eyes lit up, "This is green ant wine, good wine, I've spent a lot of money on it."
Zhang Yuan smiled when he heard this, "I can't bear to drink this wine on weekdays. I heard that you are a good drinker. Captain Yuwen gave a big reward with a stroke of his pen and brought a car over. However, the wine is delicious but hard to vomit. If I lose, I'm afraid
You have to pawn your pants to pay for the wine." He took out another pot.
After taking a sip, Wu Gen felt completely refreshed. He glanced at Zhang Yuan and muttered, "Wait a minute, such a fine wine would not be complete without good condiments." He got up and went back to the house, sending water from the moon to his big head.
The snake gall was taken out.
These days of practicing martial arts in the mountains, my energy and blood have been consumed a lot, and I rely on this thing to hold it down. Zhang Yuan dropped a few drops of golden juice into the wine flask and said, "Have a taste."
"What is this?" Zhang Yuan raised his head and asked in surprise.
"poison."
"Fuck you." Zhang Yuan raised his head and took a sip. As soon as the wine entered his stomach, it was like a fire, and violent heat flow roared towards his whole body.
Zhang Yuan's face turned red and he put down the wine, "I never thought you had such a good thing. It is really a great tonic for people who practice martial arts. It's useless even if I drink it. I'll leave it to you.
These days will be even harder.”
Wu Gen put the wine bottle into his hand and said, "There are many more. I haven't invited you to drink before, so I made up for it today."
Zhang Yuan's hand holding the pot stopped in the air, and there was a bit of sourness in his eyes. He looked at Wu Gen and said, "It has been two years since you joined the army, and you have grown a lot taller. Well, well, my love for you is not in vain.
Let me see how much you have grown tonight." As he spoke, he drank half a bottle of wine.
Wu Gen slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, whoever falls first is a coward. Damn it." Not to be outdone, he drank a bottle of wine.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I've finally grown up. Don't be brave in a battle. If you can't beat me, just admit defeat. If you lose your life, you can't get it back."
"Go, go, say something unlucky and drink."
In this way, the two of them yelled and cursed at each other. They were noisy until nightfall, and there were seven or eight empty wine jars around them.
Both of them were so drunk that they lay down in the courtyard and fell asleep.
The wind was clear and the moon was bright, and the clear light shone down, gently covering the two of them. The cries of crickets gradually faded away, as if they were afraid of disturbing their sweet dreams.
