Chapter 267: Joining the Army

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Great Sage of Liaozhai!

This powerful beggar is named Wu Xiang.

He was originally a citizen near Jinling City, his parents died early, and he had no wife and children, and he made money by working for people on weekdays, but because he had too much appetite and was too good at eating, few employers would ask him to work, and over time, he could only become a beggar, living in a broken temple outside Jinling City, living by begging and working on weekdays, and occasionally going to eat nearby temples, and the sacrifices in the grave were satisfying.

His background is very pitiful, but he is not the only poor person like Wu Xiang.

There are many people like him in the world.

If it weren't for Wu Xiang's amazing strength, maybe he would be like other poor people, living one day at a time.

"Young Master, this person is too good to eat, he has already eaten a sheep just now, and if he eats like this, I am afraid that it will not be enough to kill ten more sheep." Aunt Wang said with some distress.

For the people of Xiahe Village, a sheep is precious, who is willing to eat it on weekdays, this person is not heartbroken to eat, and he can't wait to eat all the sheep that are ready for the banquet.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Aunt Wang said that she laughed, how can you eat ten sheep if you can eat it, you go and get busy first, and then let someone send a sheep later, I don't think these two sheep are enough to eat." ”

"That'...... All right. ”

Aunt Wang still said with a very painful face.

It was as if Wu Xiang ate the mutton as if he was eating his own home.

It's not to blame her for thinking so.

It's that Aunt Wang thinks that after the banquet, there will be a lot of leftover meat and leftovers, and the leftovers will definitely be distributed to the people in the village at that time, but there is such a foodie today, I am afraid that there will not be much meat and vegetables after the banquet.

"Wu Xiang, you know everything, it is not a way to continue to go back to Jinling City to be a beggar, it is better to vote for my Li family, my Li family hired you as a guard, follow me in the future, I will let Xing Shan, Wu Fei teach you some bows and arrows, sword methods, with your strength in the future, you must be a fierce warrior who is a husband and a man, and it will not be a problem to earn a few wives and concubines in the future, how can you see it?" Li Xiuyuan sat on a stone bench next to him and said with a smile.

Seeing this, Du Chunhua next to her hurriedly wanted to wipe the stone bench, but he waved his hand to stop him.

After Wu Xiang swallowed the meat in his mouth, he said, "I know that you value me, which makes me very grateful, but I have heard people say before, Gou Fugui, don't forget, I have a few friends who are still starving in the ruined temple, I promised them, if they make money, I will take them to the best restaurant in the city is to eat for a day, and now I have earned you ten taels of silver, I have to take them to dinner." ”

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "It is very correct to abide by the faith, but you can still come to my Li family to work after you finish this matter." ”

Wu Xiang scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "This, this is not good, I promised to join the army alone, so I want to go to the army to try it first, maybe my strength can be brought into play." ”

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "If you promise others to go for a good future, maybe I shouldn't stop you, but if you go to the army, I hope you can think about it more, if you join the army, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky." ”

"Why?" Wu Xiang's eyes widened.

"Your strength is both a blessing and a curse for you, as soon as you join the army, if someone brings you up, it will be smooth sailing, but if you are suppressed, your strength will become a scourge, and the army will not tolerate you as an alternative. Li Xiuyuan sighed.

He could see that once this Wu Xiang practiced martial arts and wore heavy armor, he was a peerless general, how could people in the army not see it?

For such a person, he is either accepted as a confidant by a certain general, or he is suspicious of others and makes people die, there is absolutely no second way to go.

Because Wu Xiang is so special.

But at present, the court is mediocre, and the army is mostly erosive, and if Wu Xiang joins the army, the disaster will be greater than the blessing.

"What you say makes sense, but I promised others that I have to go and see it, otherwise it will be a breach of trust. Wu Xiang thought for a moment and grinned again.

Li Xiuyuan said, "This is also, I can't break your faith because of my own selfishness, so let's do it, since you are going to join the army, it is not possible to have weapons and armor, you don't expect the army to allocate weapons and armor to you, those are all rotten goods, it is useless to come, I will send you a pair of heavy armor and a weapon to help you go to the army, although you have great strength, but a good pair of armor and weapons can make others not underestimate you, it is also another kind of protection." ”

"How this makes you good enough for me. Wu Xiang exclaimed.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Just treat it as a gift, please don't shirk." ”

"Thank you Li Gongzi, I will never forget your kindness, if I can't join the army in the future, I will definitely come to Li Gongzi, saddle the horse for Li Gongzi, and repay today's kindness. Wu Xiang put down the wine and meat in his hand, knelt down, and wanted to kowtow to Li Xiuyuan.

"No, this is what you deserve, and you have been of great help to me, without you carrying that statue, I would still be eating mud in the ground, how can I get away from holding a wine banquet here, drinking wine and eating meat. Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, and at the same time hurriedly helped him up.

This Wu Xiang's strength is indeed very large, and he can be regarded as an extraordinary person in martial arts, but it also took all his strength to help him up.

This is still because of his obedience, and if he resists, he will not be able to help him up.

"Kindness is kindness, I will not forget, your kindness is greater than anyone I have met in my life, and it is worth repaying with my life. Wu Xiang said gratefully.

"Don't talk about this, you continue to drink wine and eat meat, if it's not enough, I'll have someone add wine and meat to you, and I need to be busy with other things. Li Xiuyuan said.

Wu Xiang nodded and continued to eat and drink.

"The eldest young master, you personally recruited this person, but he didn't comply, I don't think he really has the heart to take refuge, and he will definitely cheapen others in the future, rather than this, I think it's better to force him to stay, if he doesn't comply, he will save trouble by killing him with a knife." At this time, a bald man came with a bottle of wine and drunkenness, he touched his bald head, revealing a somewhat hideous smile.

The people of Xiahe Village nearby felt a chill in their hearts, and they all subconsciously went around this person.

"Wu Fei, his name is Wu Xiang, also surnamed Wu, five hundred years ago, you may have been a family, can you be so ruthless, I would have asked you to go back to Sichuan Mountain, why did you stay in Guobei County, for fear that others would not know what you committed?" Li Xiuyuan scolded.

This Wu Fei was really very courageous, and he was still in the county seat after killing Liu County's order, and asked him to go to Wangchuan Mountain, but he went back a few days later, just in time for this banquet.

"Hey, eldest young master, isn't it very boring in the mountains, the little ones just want to follow the eldest young master around. Wu Fei touched his bald head and smiled.

"Go, go while drinking, and don't say some nonsensical meat. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

Wu Fei burped and was about to leave, but he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, eldest young master, when I looked back at Chuanshan a few days ago, a strange thing happened in the mountain. ”

"What's weird?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Didn't the eldest young master go to Wangchuan Mountain last time and go to an immortal mountain and catch a He Shou Wu Jing?" Wu Fei said.

"Yes, what do you want to say?"

Wu Fei suppressed his voice and said, "The people in the village said that the old man who was practicing Dan halfway up the mountain on that immortal mountain died, because it was windy and rainy a while ago, he contracted the wind and cold, and died of illness in the wooden house. ”

"Dead?" Li Xiuyuan paused.

The old man was deceived by He Shou Wu and practiced Dan for decades, but he knew that what was practiced in the copper furnace was not Dan, but stone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as He Shou Wujing left, without its medicinal qi conditioning, this old man would die of illness so quickly.

Wu Fei nodded and said: "It's dead, the people in the cottage went up to see it, the corpses were rotten, and the smell was stinking, but the strange thing is that the old man's alchemy furnace has always had a fire and has not been extinguished...... The eldest young master, the little one is afraid that the old man will turn into a mountain ghost after he dies. ”

"It's not impossible to become a mountain ghost with such an obsession. Li Xiuyuan said with emotion.

The old man wants to practice a full jiazi and refine the elixir, but now he is sick and dead, his obsession has not dissipated, and it is normal to turn into a powerful ghost.

Then Li Xiuyuan looked at Wu Fei's evasive gaze and couldn't help asking, "You left the cottage and came here, aren't you afraid of the mountain ghosts so you hid here?" ”

"Big, the eldest young master said and laughed, the little one has been an executioner, what, how can I be afraid of that mountain ghost, that is, the little one thinks that the mountain ghost is shaking around the mountains all day with a firewood knife and panicking, even if he sneaks into the room one night and chops off my head. Wu Fei's tone was weak, and he said with a sneer.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Are you also afraid that others will cut off their heads?"

Wu Fei said again: "The eldest young master didn't know, when the little one was an executioner, there was a master who told the little one that no more than 100 people could be beheaded in this execution ground, and if there were more than 100 people, they would definitely be beheaded in the future, and the master would call it retribution." ”

"The person who cuts off people's heads is beheaded, which makes some sense, but the old master is not wrong, how many prisoners' heads have you chopped off?"

"After cutting the county order, it's exactly a hundred. Wu Fei said with a weak heart.

"Then you have to guard your head, and be careful that someone cuts off your head one day. Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Feelings, Wu Fei actually taboo this.

I don't know what method the master who taught him the art of beheading used back then to make this robber Wu Fei, who kills people without blinking, so convinced.

But it's a little taboo, this Wu Fei of the province wants to cut off other people's heads at every turn.

It is always a good thing to restrain the killing intent and create less killing.

Although no matter what the reason, killing too many people always attracts some retribution, after all, not everyone is a damned person.

While speaking, the banquet was almost opened, and Li Xiuyuan took Du Chunhua to the table.
