Chapter 162: Joining the Army (II)

Qingjing Temple in the morning, quiet and peaceful, the front hall has a lot of pilgrims come from afar, burn incense and worship Buddha.

In the back of the monks' residential area, the monks resting are either sweeping the ground or drying the bedding.

No one is lazy, and there is a sense of peace and quiet.

In a room, the morning light shone into it, shining on several people inside.

Here, the ongoing conversation has nothing to do with the Buddha's words, but is talking about the future of the two teenagers.

"In the army?" Master Gao Jing's words made Wu Xingzong slightly stunned, and he fell into deep thought.

Wu Xingzong really didn't think about joining the army, in fact, Yangzhou was a prosperous place, the seat of the imperial court, a few years ago, the movement of the princes in various places was not big, and the ordinary people here did not perceive the situation in the world.

Now the situation is different, even people like him and Tang Yuan can feel a restless aura from time to time.

The world is big, and the princes are chasing the deer, and joining the army may be a good choice at this time.

"Master, what's the benefit of joining the army?" Tang Yuan had just poured in a cup of tea, and Shi Cai also heard Master Gaojing's words, so he wiped his mouth and asked.

Seeing Tang Yuan's question, Master Gaojing didn't feel troubled, and sat down with a steady gaze and said, "You are all seventeen or eighteen years old, right? ”

"In the county, the two of you usually have a bad reputation, you have no strength, and you can read some words, but even life has become a problem. ”

Tang Yuan sneered and said: "Hmph, it's not that Inspector Li doesn't like us and always looks for trouble, otherwise how could we have such a thing." ”

"Tang Yuan!" Wu Xingzong scolded lightly on the side, with a little reproach in his tone.

Tang Yuan suddenly shrank his neck and didn't continue.

Seeing this situation, Master Gao Jing's eyes lit up, but he smiled and said: "What I said, in short, you are afraid that you will not be able to stay in the county, and even if you stay, it will be difficult to act, but if you join the army, you may not be able to make a difference, this is the benefit of joining the army." ”

"If you talk about benefits, there are naturally some benefits...... There is a way that military merits can be sealed, and this way of the world can assist a Ming Lord, calm the world as soon as possible, and stop the situation of this world, which is a matter of merit in the future, maybe you can also nòng official positions. ”

Wu Xingzong was silent for a moment, and at this time, the sun shone down, and there was a solemnity in his thick eyebrows.

Before becoming a monk, Master Gao Jing will do some physiognomy techniques.

These two teenagers, at first glance, don't think it, but when you look closely, you can see that it is implied to be grandiose, it is a pattern of being expensive in the middle, and it is a pattern of bringing great wealth, which is why they have been giving food.

It's great to have a little food and make good connections.

Of course, seeing that they had grown up, they were still ruffians, and Master Gao Jing also had some thoughts, although they knew Braille, it was impossible for them to be scholars.

The family background is not good, and you can't rely on this to be an official.

To cope with this phase, the only possibility is to fight in the army, and it is also the right time.

Wu Xingzong raised his head at this time, bowed his hand to Master Gao Jing, and said seriously: "Master, thank you for your suggestion today, if it weren't for your suggestion, I don't know when, I would have thought of this way out! Now it seems that joining the army is indeed a good choice, in this city, everyone avoids the two of us, and only the master is a person who sincerely considers us! The kindness of full food in the past, the kindness of mentioning some points today, if there is an opportunity in the future, Xingzong will definitely repay it!"

"What the eldest brother said, that's what I want to say, as long as I wait for my career in the future, I will definitely repay the master's kindness!" Tang Yuan was not far behind, and followed.

For the great monk in front of them, they were very impressed.

Master Gao Jing sat across from the two of them, only smiling slightly, not as if he didn't care about what the two of them said.

Wu Xingzong didn't show it on his face, and sighed in his heart.

Of course, he knew that with his current situation, these words did sound extremely absurd, and Master Gao Jing's lack of sarcasm had already made him feel very sad.

There is a way, the great grace is not grateful, after saying it again, Wu Xingzong did not mention this matter more, and accompanied Master Gao Jing to talk.

Although Wu Xingzong was from a poor background, he knew some words, some of which he learned from Master Gao Jing. Already planning to leave this place, Wu Xingzong was naturally a little reluctant to Master Gaojing.

However, this emotion dissipated after stepping out of the premises and outside.

I don't know why, when I was blown by the wind, I thought about the word "soldier", and a fire suddenly ignited in my heart.

"Master, there is a saying, the apprentice doesn't know whether to ask or not. "In the room just now, Monk Xiǎo packed up the case and was opposite Master Gaojing, hesitating to ask something.

Master Gao Jing looked at him with a peaceful expression, and his voice was calm: "If you want to ask, just ask, I won't blame you for being a teacher." ”

"The apprentice will talk about it!" The monk Xiǎo saw that the two people before him were gone, and he had no scruples, so he asked: "Master, the apprentice has never understood, the two of them are famous ruffians in the city, and they are idle all day long, why don't you look at them differently?"

Master Gao Jing smiled lightly, realizing that he would ask this question.

"At first it was just to look at them pitiful. After a long period of contact, I found that they were not things in the pool. Especially Wu Shizhu...... Get married. ”

There is not much to hide from his disciples.

"Master, did you persuade them to join the army?"

Master Gaojing's gaze seemed to look through Mén's mouth, all the way out, and his voice carried a kind of indifference.

"This is their fate, if the teacher doesn't mention them, they themselves will go to the army, and if this is the case, why don't they end up with a favor? ”

After listening to it, the monk didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Out of the temple, Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan, who walked out along the stone steps, were thinking about their own thoughts. The xiǎo cloth bag Tang Yuan was carrying in his hand contained some dry food buns, enough for them to eat for a while.

Tang Yuan is only sixteen years old, but his strength is very great, and this xiǎo bag is as light as nothing in his hand.

Because Wu Xingzong is in a dominant position both in terms of age and the subordinate position of the two, Tang Yuan naturally takes over this kind of hard work.

At this time, Wu Xingzong was thinking about things, and his mind repeatedly recalled the words that Master Gao Jing said.

Army?

Yes, that's a good idea.

Why didn't you think of this matter, although the danger is greater, but in the end it is a way out.

It's better than staying here.

The two of them had already come to the street at this time, looking at the disgusting and fearful gazes that were cast on them from time to time, Wu Xingzong became more and more firm in this idea.

And I don't know why, the county's Li patrol is very unkind to him, and if he continues like this, if he wants to be in the county, I'm afraid he won't be able to.

Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan's home is half an hour away from Qingjing Temple.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and almost no one spoke to them along the way, and walked all the way home in silence.

Their home is very simple, and there is a fence around the outside, which is made by Wu Xingzong, and it can still block people from entering.

The wooden mén is a few worn-out planks barely put together, and there is no need to lock it at all, and it opens with a push of the mén.

Inside the fence are three very dilapidated adobe houses, which, like the courtyard, are as dilapidated as they can be knocked down.

"Xiǎo heart point, mén is afraid that it is going to fall. Wu Xingzong, who went in first, turned on one side inside, held Mu Mén, and rushed to Tang Yuan, who was walking inside, to remind.

"I'm about to leave here, and I'm really reluctant. Tang Yuan smirked and came in with a cloth bag and said.

No matter how dilapidated the house is, they have lived in it for many years, and they have been sheltered from the wind and rain for many years, and it is really a little reluctant to look here again after deciding to leave this place today.

"Let's sit down and see how much food the master has given us. After Wu Xingzong sat down on the earthen kang, he beckoned his companions to come over.

Tang Yuan walked over with a cloth bag, the light in the room was a little dim, he had just come in from outside, and it took him a while to get used to it before he could see clearly.

There are some bread buns in the cloth bag, and it can be seen that they are all pasta made by the temple itself.

There was a smell of fragrance, and Wu Xingzong probably calculated that he could eat it for a while.

I came to eat it with an open stomach, but it was less than half a month.

mō mō stomach, although he had just eaten, but after walking this way, he was a little hungry again.

"Tang Yuan, do you know where to get from the army?" Wu Xingzong didn't care much about these things before, so he asked.

"Big brother, if you join the army, you have to choose the most powerful person to defect, this is wise. Tang Yuan thought for a moment and said.

"What you said is that if our brother wants to join the army, he must choose a big man to join the army. Wu Xingzong naturally thought so.

However, he did not know much about the current situation.

Since he had already made up his mind to join the army, Wu Xingzong was determined to sort out his thoughts and choose a candidate to defect.

"It's King Wu's army that is attacking other county towns, right?" Wu Xingzong was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke.

Because there were no tables and chairs, Tang Yuan on the side was also lying flat on the kang, and when he heard Wu Xingzong's words, he nodded: "It should be, I heard that King Wu is very good, he used to assist the Son of Heaven and was a general, and now he has become King Wu, he should be the biggest official in the world except for the Son of Heaven, right?"

"Ah, I've heard he's very powerful, but I've never seen him. When Wu Xingzong said this, his eyes were always shining.

Tang Yuan pillowed his head with his hands, looked at the dilapidated roof, and said: "If you want to take refuge, of course, you are the most powerful person, King Wu's army is not far from here, if you take refuge in him, it will be very convenient, and it is also the most powerful, besides, we have this little food, and I am afraid that if I can't run, I will starve to death." ”

The young man still yearns for the powerful princes.

"You, you, you can't do without food. When Wu Xingzong heard this, he was angry and funny.

However, he thought about it seriously, King Wu's army was the closest to them, and it was easy to take refuge in the past, and if he went to other places, he might not be willing to accept outsiders.

"Since I think that King Wu is worth taking refuge into, then after lunch, the two of us will set off and rush to the county town to seek refuge with them!" Wu Xingzong thought about it and finally came to a conclusion.
