Murong Fu watched Guo Cheng and his party walk away with a smile, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared.

"I don't go into Jianghu," he whispered thoughtfully, "... Jianghu came to me by itself."

Bao BuTong and Deng BaiChuan looked at his face, and dared not speak immediately.After a while, Deng Baichuan asked cautiously:

"My lord, what do you think the beggar gang sent people to the army this time?"

"The Beggar Gang has always been loyal to the imperial court, but there has never been a reason for people from the world to intervene in military and national affairs." Murong Fu said slowly, "This time it is strange to come here, probably because of the Xixia Yipintang." He paused, He pondered for a while.

"...Since you're here, let's try to recruit you. The Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the martial arts world. Its ears and eyes are all over the world, and it can spy on things that others can't. If Dayan is revived in the future, one day he will driven by me."

Deng Baichuan and Bao BuTong looked at each other, and said in unison: "My lord is far-sighted."

"I don't think that Jiang Changyun is anything to worry about," Bao Budong said, "Qiao Feng is a rough man with a fine line. I heard from friends in the Jianghu that Wang Jiantong is old, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be no leader among the dragons. Qiao Feng He has great prestige among the gang, so sending him here this time is probably because Wang Jiantong intends to test him."

"My lord," Deng Baichuan suddenly remembered something, "I just received a letter from Yanziwu."

"Oh?" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows.

"Fourth brother Feng's fleet has been out to sea for more than three months, and there is no news yet." Deng Baichuan said in a low voice.Seeing that Murong Fu frowned, he hastily continued: "Ah Zhu and Abi are both good girls. The master said that both of them have improved a lot in their studies. A'Zhu was enlightened at the age of eight, and has been able to compose seven-character quatrains so far. "

"These two little girls are better at reading than your son." Murong Fu sighed with a smile.

"That's not too difficult." Bao BuTong muttered resentfully as if he had been touched on a sore spot.

Murong Fu made up his mind that day, so he made it clear to the four of them that he wanted to pursue an official career in the Han family.Before the words were finished, the four great ministers fell to their knees in unison, weeping bitterly, and repeatedly shouted "there is hope for the restoration of the country".

But what they never imagined was that the "Road to Restoring the Court" that the young master was determined to take, almost fell on poetry and songs at the beginning.

Murong Bo, who boasted that after the Yan royal family, looked down on the Han culture, but forced his son to study the art of war written by the Han people since he was a child, and learn the strengths of a hundred schools of martial arts.After he left, Mrs. Murong inherited her husband's last wish and disciplined her son more severely, forbidding him to read any idle books that had nothing to do with the great cause of restoring the country.Murong Fu was inspired to be rebellious like all children. One day, he and Wang Yuyan stole half of the script from the study room. They only read two pages when they met each other before being caught by Mrs. Murong on the spot. He is twenty.This beating only made Murong Fu no longer want to read any "idle books".

Calligraphy and martial arts are interlinked.Murong Fu's handwriting is good, with iron and silver hooks, he can imitate the styles of other calligraphy, but he has mastered the seven senses and the six senses when it comes to poetry and articles.Therefore, when everyone calms down and thinks about it carefully, this road of national restoration will not work through the civil examination, and can only rely on martial arts.

In the three martial arts tests, Mr. Murong can easily grasp the strength of bow and arrow, and the principles of military affairs on the test paper.But on the day of the imperial examination, the emperor had to personally compare the poems and songs.The burden of "accompanying the son to study the book" naturally falls on Bao BuTong, but Murong Fu refuses to accept softness and hard work, and refuses to take in oil and salt, so Bao BuTong is so anxious that he goes around all over the place.

On the day of the imperial examination, Murong Fu came off the field in white clothes, like a jade tree facing the wind, showing his superb riding and archery skills, overwhelming the audience.The Son of Heaven pitied him for his outstanding talent and appearance, and wanted to promote him to be the number one scholar, but after reading Murong Fu's paper, he was speechless for a long time.In the end, the surname "Murong" reminded him of Murong Yanzhao, the founding hero of the former dynasty, and his heart softened.

This story has always been a pain in Bao BuTong's heart, which cannot be easily touched, but today Murong Fu ran into the gun himself.

"Brother Bao," Murong Fu knew he was wrong, and said with a smile, "Fufu is incompetent, thanks to having Brother Third by his side to remind me all the time."

"Young Master is a person who does great things, why waste time on such useless knowledge." Bao BuTong "humphed".

Seeing that he calmed down, Murong Fu smiled, without saying a word, turned his head to Deng Baichuan and said: "There is one more thing to trouble Brother Deng. Please send a letter to Second Brother Gongsun in Yanziwu, asking him to buy a batch of timber. There is another list, third brother Bao please send it over later, please forward it with the letter. Anyone on the list, please second brother Gongsun try to make friends."

Deng Baichuan wondered: "The fourth younger brother Feng went to sea the day before yesterday and already bought a batch of silk tea leaves. Now what are you buying wood for? Master, you want to build a house?"

"I have my own uses," Murong Fu seemed to expect him to ask such a question, and said with confidence. "Brother Deng just needs to explain what he said."

===================

"Brother Joe!"

When Qiao Feng heard someone calling him, he was not in a hurry to turn his head back, he honestly practiced the halfway move "Picking Hands Punching" in his hand, and then stopped and stood still.

"Good work!" Guo Cheng propped his head on the railing of the school field with one hand, and looked at him with a grin. "It looks better than Murong's airy fists and kicks in military training. Brother Qiao will teach me some other day."

"This set of Tai/Zu Changquan is the way to get started in martial arts. You can learn it by yourself." Qiao Feng smiled honestly, "Murong has made improvements, and it is more suitable for military strategists. Believe me, don't ask him, but me , This is looking far away.”

"Don't mention him." Guo Cheng shuddered when he heard the words, "Today, a soldier confronted him inappropriately, and was punished by Murong and ran around the camp ten times with a bag of rice on his back. This tiger is in a fit of anger, how dare I go?" provoke."

"It looks like he is knowledgeable about books and etiquette," Qiao Feng couldn't help being curious when he heard the words, "Why is it so difficult to get along with?"

"Brother Qiao doesn't know. From the generals to the soldiers of the Western Army, most of them are locals. When they joined the army, they were all friends who licked blood with knives, rushed on horseback, and cut their heads for lives. Occasionally, a gentleman came to the court. , shouting and embracing, after playing, go back and read the last book, and gently snatch away the military achievements of the brothers who sacrificed their lives. Therefore, everyone hates the husband who came down from the court. Murong was born in Tanhua. Please border. Those who know what he is like are nothing but those who don’t know, but most of them don’t believe in him.” Guo Cheng sighed as he said. "By the way, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't bother to break down half a sentence for himself."

"Whether you have real skills or not, you will know before the battle, so why worry if you believe it." Qiao Feng laughed.He is an upright person and has always been tired of these intrigues.

Guo Cheng smiled and was about to speak.At this time, a personal soldier rushed over and said:

"Liu Qian has an order: Please Guo Xianfeng and Qiao Daxia go to the account quickly, and discuss anything!"
