Chapter 423 Jade Unicorn
The Wang family mansion on the slope of Wangjiazhuang was particularly lively in the martial arts arena today.
Hundreds of people, including Wu Song, including big and strong men and a large number of strong children, stood in the scorching sun and surrounded the martial arts arena.
In a shady corner, Pan Jinlian, who was pregnant with a big belly, sat under the pergola. Xiaolan, Cuiping and another maid were in three directions, each holding a fan and gently shaking it to send breeze.
She came to watch the official's martial arts competition, saying that a master had come and wanted to compete and compare martial arts. The due date was approaching, and the unknown baby in her belly had been tossing and turning recently, so she came to watch the excitement and relax. As for the sword and gun dance, it would scare the baby, but she didn't care. Because she had seen too much in the past year since she entered the Wang family, she had long been accustomed to it. She was full of confidence in the official, just to see how the opponent would be tossed.
At this moment, two people were fighting fiercely with sticks without gun heads. One of them was Wang Daguanren, who was the strongest and beat everyone. His opponent was Wang Daguanren, who had bright eyes, eyebrows, and a body of more than two meters, with thick arms and legs and a big belly. He was majestic and looked like a god. He was used to using a stick and had unparalleled skills in protecting himself. He was from a clean family in the capital, and was a wealthy family with generous and righteous people. He was the world's number one master named Yu Qilin of Hebei.
He stretched out a stick horizontally to push away the attack of the official. When the two sticks intersected, he twisted his hands, and the stick with good elasticity suddenly stretched straight and trembled. His long arms stretched out and went straight to the official's face.
This is the advantage of being tall. He has long legs and arms, and he carries weapons. In addition, the other party's strength is not low. He can't reach him, so how can he be his opponent?
But this was basically useless to Mr. Wang. He shook the long stick lightly, and under the unparalleled force, he only lightly touched the end of the long stick, and with a snap, he directly deflected the stick that was heading for his forehead, and then he kicked the ground and got close.
Lu Junyi reacted very quickly. Just that one time, he clearly sensed the power of the official, and he would never dare to underestimate the enemy, and he must give full play to his strengths. So when the official advanced, he retreated. With long legs and big steps, he was not slow, and soon he opened up his position and continued to fight with the official.
Of course, the official was not serious. He just cooperated with Lu Junyi, just to feel what level this world's number one master with unparalleled horse stance was. As the saying goes, a slight difference can lead to a thousand miles of error. With his current strength, if he was serious, the world's number one master would be knocked down in three moves.
In fact, Lu Junyi is really good. He can wield a stick very well. His strength is much stronger than Wu Song a year ago. Wu Song is really not his opponent. But now, in the case of foot fighting, the outcome is really unpredictable. After all, in the past year, Wu Song has taken a lot of secret medicines for strengthening bones and muscles, plus some martial arts taught, his innate talent plus acquired supplements, his combat power has soared.
More than ten minutes later, the two were still fighting back and forth. Apart from anything else, the endurance of these people is still very sufficient. Wu Song can fight with him for more than ten minutes, and so is Lu Junyi. This also reflects their control over themselves. After all, fighting is a high-explosive job. If you don't know how to control your strength, you will be exhausted after a few moves.
Looking at the two people in the field, the crowd cheered. There is no way. The names of these two people are bigger than each other, and they are famous in the world. However, this reputation is polarized.
In terms of making friends with gangsters, although Lu Junyi is not as good as Song Jiang and Chao Gai, he also has a reputation for being generous and righteous. This is easy to understand. Lu Junyi was in the Northern Army, on the front line of the war with the Liao Kingdom. He had some connections with the military. His ancestors were rich and had been passed down from generation to generation, and he had a wide family business. He couldn't stand the filth in the army, so he worked as Mr. Lu in a manor near Daming Prefecture. But he also had the title of the world's number one master, so it was inevitable that he had some involvement with those so-called heroes. Even if he didn't get involved, he couldn't stop the heroes from coming to his door to ask for money.
Of course, Lu Junyi looked down on those rotten fish and shrimps. To put it bluntly, including the group of things on Liangshan, there were not many of them that caught his eye. It was just that he was forced to study them because of the situation. But he was too lazy to have the same experience with those people, and basically treated them to a meal and sent them away. This also naturally made him have the reputation of being a hero who is generous and righteous.
Wang Daguanren was different. He was famous for his wealth and martial arts. However, many good men came to him to make friends. Many people joined the labor team in Yanggu County to build bridges and roads. This made Wang Daguanren notorious in the so-called Jianghu, and aggravated many people's bad intentions towards him. They were thinking about robbing him, a local rich man who pretended to be unsociable.
Of course, they could only think about it. Because when Wang Daguanren licked the artist and paid tribute to the first profit, everyone from the supervisory eunuch to Yang Jian above and Zhao Ji at the top were very satisfied. At the same time, Wang also developed two types of perfume for men and women. Talented men and beautiful women liked it very much. It was so popular that this business, of course, had to pay tribute to Zhao Ji and make more money.
Zhao Ji was very satisfied. The imperial guards stationed in the west of Beijing transferred two thousand soldiers to Yanggu to protect this source of income of hundreds of thousands of strings a year and prevent evil thieves from harassing.
At the same time, Wang Daguanren's Xuanjie Lieutenant was promoted to the seventh rank Zhiguo Lieutenant, which was an official position bought with money. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he is an official or not. It's mainly this attitude that shows Zhao Ji's satisfaction. With the emperor's favor, no one dares to provoke him in the whole Jingdong Road. He is very comfortable.
In the same way, after chasing down several gangs of daring thieves, there is nothing to worry about. After all, Wang Daguanren's place is not somewhere else. It is a place that Zhao Ji personally pays attention to. On the other hand, those thieves are blatantly robbing the emperor of the Song Dynasty. How can that work? Without Wang Daguanren's urging, other chief officers at all levels will cooperate sincerely, and one by one will be efficient.
After those heroes were at their wits' end, it was inevitable that Wang Daguanren became a typical example of a person who was full of evil, helped the tyrant, committed heinous crimes, and was rich and unkind. When mentioning Yanggu Wang Yan, there was nothing else but scolding.
To be honest, this situation was not what Wang Yan had thought at the beginning. After all, he was thinking about making a fortune in silence. But it was obvious that he couldn't keep it to himself. Because of his wealth, the changes in Yanggu County, etc., his role in them couldn't be hidden, so he could only let his reputation grow, whatever he wanted. Anyway, he had a big tree behind him, and the effect of being in the dark under the lamp was even better, so he just let it go...
Finally, the top-grade gun barrel in Lu Junyi's hand, which was made of the best elm wood and went through many processes and took three years to make, couldn't withstand the fierce battle between the two and broke, leaving only a small section in his hand. At this time, Mr. Wang smiled and put one hand behind his back, holding the gun barrel with the other hand, and the tip was hovering in the air three inches in front of Lu Junyi's throat, motionless, pretending to be good.
Feeling the strong wind in his throat, Lu Junyi resisted the urge to swallow his saliva, casually threw away the broken wood in his hand, took a step back and bowed, saying: "Master, you have great martial arts, Lu admires you."
Wang Yan stopped pretending, threw the gun barrel casually, and shot it quickly into the crowd of people watching the excitement. An underage strong child was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He dodged the gun barrel that was coming straight at him with a sideways move, and at the same time stretched out his right hand and grabbed it neatly. Then he looked at the master who was giving a thumbs up in the field and grinned.
Bowing to Lu Junyi, Wang Yan said with a smile: "Master, your martial arts are not bad either. You are worthy of being the Jade Unicorn who comes and goes freely in the Liao army. Let's go, Master, stretch your muscles and take a good rest. Let's go to the front hall to drink tea and talk, and then have a good meal. Two glasses of wine."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying."
Lu Junyi laughed and left with Wang Yan. Wu Song and others followed behind. Pan Jinlian watched the fierce battle, talked to the maids about her master's bravery, and walked back slowly with her big belly.
She was under a lot of pressure now, and she was afraid that she would not give birth to a son. Even if Wang Yan had comforted her, it would be useless...
The men sat down in the front hall, and a servant served tea. Everyone chatted while drinking tea.
"I heard that the official was still in his early years when he first took charge of the family business. Now I, Lu, have seen the beautiful scenery of the Wang family. I really admire it."
"It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "Now my Wang family looks like it is booming, but in fact it is a castle in the air, and there is a risk of overturning at any time. It is not like the accumulation of generations of officials, the tree is big and the roots are deep, and there are not so many worries."
Lu Junyi understood what the official meant. The family accumulation was weak and the connections were shallow. Otherwise, they would not pay tribute to the emperor with a large amount of income. If the family really had a deep accumulation, they would definitely share the profits, but it would definitely not reach that much.
"Sir, don't belittle yourself. The accumulation of your generation alone is better than that of Lu's ancestors." He still smiled and complimented: "In the past six months, Lu has also relied on your care to get some soap and perfumed soap. It can be regarded as revitalizing the family business and regaining some face in Hebei. Otherwise, the Lu family's family business will probably be lost in Lu's hands."
Humble, don't be afraid, if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be lost in your hands...
The soap and perfumed soap spread, and with the endorsement of the royal family, they are naturally more popular. As one of the most wealthy families in Daming Prefecture, Lu Junyi naturally paid attention to it. He specially sent someone to send a huge profit and wrote a long letter to build relationships and want the distribution rights. It was also because he knew this world's number one master that he gave him three points of thin face and allowed him to distribute, which was considered to have established a connection.
This time, I came here, just to take time out and make money, so I have to thank the benefactor. So I wrote a letter in advance to inquire, and got his affirmation, and then I brought Yan Qing and several guards and rushed over. Yan Qing was sitting on the side with Wu Song, listening to their conversation.
"Your family is so big and powerful, it's not so easy to fail. With your family, even if you live off your resources and only spend money, it's enough for three generations to enjoy." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, and didn't dwell on this matter anymore. Instead, he asked, "I wonder what you think of the current situation?"
Lu Junyi was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "What do you think, sir?"
"Cai Jing returned to the prime minister, and joined forces with Tong Guan and others to suppress dissidents. The current emperor is extremely extravagant and ignores state affairs. He worships Taoism and calligraphy and painting, and he also builds palaces and halls, especially mountains, rocks and gardens. Cai Jing flattered the emperor and created a flower and stone gang, as well as various other heavy taxes. In just a few months, there were complaints and people were living in misery. Tian Hu in Hebei, Wang Qing in Huaixi, Fang La in Jiangnan, and even Liangshan Marsh, which is only a few dozen miles away from Yanggu County, now have a group of strong men occupying the mountains and kings. If this continues, the Zhao Song will gradually weaken, and I'm afraid it won't last long."
With a hiss, Lu Junyi glanced at Wu Song who was sitting next to him. Seeing his unconcerned look, he looked at the surprised Yan Qing and said, "Master, these words can come out of your mouth and can enter into my mouth." The three of them must not say anything anymore. If the villain listens to it, I am afraid it will be a disaster. "
To be honest, he had some doubts about whether this high-ranking official was fishing for law enforcement, but the two parties had no disputes in the past, and they had always been harmonious since their cooperation, so there was really no need to harm him. It's okay to say that I'm unhappy because I had too much money taken away from me. But in that case, it would be difficult for this high-ranking official to be like this. For a moment, he was really not sure what the high official meant by saying such treacherous words for no reason.
"Hey, it's just a few incompetent complaints. It doesn't mean anything. I also fell in love with Yuanwai. You and I hit it off, so we talked about it." Wang Yan said with a smile: "The current situation is really not good, so let's talk about Liang Taishu, the famous Yuanwai. , he gave Cai Jing a birthday gift of 100,000 yuan, so openly and honestly, without any regard for the majesty of the national law. But it was because of their honesty that they recruited a group of strong men to rob the way, and robbed all the birthday cards, and went to Shuibo Liangshan. .
Oh, by the way, there is also Lin Chong, the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army gun and stick instructor who was in the same school as Yuan Waishi. Lin Chong, known as the Leopard Head in the world, wanted to take possession of his wife because her wife was attracted by Gao Qiu's adopted son... …
The results of it? On the contrary, it was Lin Chong who framed Gao Qiu, accidentally entered the White Tiger Festival Hall with a knife, and assassinated Cangzhou. Unable to bear the threats from Gao Yameni, Mrs. Lin hanged herself, and her old father could not hold on and passed away together. Lin Chong arrived at the prison city of Cangzhou and heard that he was poisoned by Gao Qiu. Fortunately, Lin Chong was not unworthy of fame and had superb martial arts skills, so he escaped with his life and went to Liangshan. Such two thieves actually hold high positions and are in power when the country is in power. How can the country be in good health when there are enemies from outside? "
Now that the plot has begun, things are moving very quickly. Now, Chao Gai and others have just arrived at Liangshan, and Lin Chong has just killed Wang Lun. The next step, so-called Song Yasiyi's killing of Yan Poxi, is waiting to be carried out. Yuncheng is not far from Yanggu County, so the message delivery is quite timely. Moreover, there is public opinion there, and it is not slow to convey it. Therefore, the senior official has a good grasp of the development of the matter.
Lu Junyi couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest with the officials, Lu has heard about all these things. Last month, he and my master wrote a letter to apologize. Although Lu and Junior Brother Lin have never met, they have good intentions. Help. But unfortunately Lu is an idler and cannot help. He is ashamed of his friendship. It is a pity that my junior brother Lin, who had a great future, ended up joining the bandits.
Lu himself was also deeply harmed by Cai Jing and Tong Guan. If it weren't for them, Lu would have been held accountable and kicked out of the Northern Army. How could he have lost thousands of my brothers who were alive and dead..."
"No more, no more."
When Lu Junyi couldn't fully express his emotions and was depressed and was about to say a few words, despite his confused look, Wang Daguan directly interrupted and looked at Yan Qing who was thinking about things with a smile: "Yan Qing Brother Yanqing is so handsome, and I have heard of his romantic anecdotes. He is also known as a prodigal son in the world. He is so romantic and enviable. With his ability, he can go anywhere in the world. Still staying with Yuan Wai, willing to be a servant, so sincere, truly unparalleled in loyalty, respectable and admirable."
Listening to the high-ranking officials' praise, Wu Song, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, looked dissatisfied and looked like a pretty boy.
Seeing his appearance, the official shook his head and smiled. Wu Song's current temper is not much different from his original one. After all, he is not the same one who became a traveler. He still has a naughty character, and he won't accept anyone from the boss to the second in command. But he is a little bit good, he is aloof, because he doesn't accept anyone, and most people look down on him, so he doesn't say much in response.
"Xiao Yi thanks the high official for the promotion." Yan Qing cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi has followed the master since she was a child. My parents gave birth to me, and my master gave me life. The master has also said in these years that Xiao Yi is the one who lets Xiao Yi go out to work. I don’t want to leave, so I rely on my master to eat and drink.”
"You, you..."
Lu Junyi laughed and reached out to light Yan Qing. He is proud that this Yan Qing has not been raised in vain, he is loyal, handles things properly, and can make him proud wherever he goes.
Noticing the disapproving look on Wu Song's face next to him, he smiled and said, "Brother Wu Song is also unparalleled in his loyalty and loyalty. He is also well-known in Jingdong and Hebei. He never forgets to mention the kindness of high officials wherever he goes."
After complimenting each other and chatting for a while, the senior officials entertained Lu Junyi warmly. They ate fresh food, stir-fry dishes only found in big cities, etc. They ate and drank together, which was a great time.
During the dinner, Wang Yan briefly mentioned that Lu Junyi's official named Li Gu was the one who put a hat on Lu Junyi. Of course, he didn't say that, he just said that Li Gu was rebellious and must have done something unfavorable to his master, so he reminded him.
It's interesting to say that Lu Junyi is such a fierce person, but he can't even control the housekeeper. He is manipulated by the housekeeper like a fool. He is really a slave bullying his master. As for Lu Junyi's wife, let's not mention it. She is another person who preaches about killing his wife.
After all, Lu Junyi had a big problem with the high official's reminder. I don't know whether he took it in, but Yan Qing did.
As for what happens in the end, that depends on fate. Anyway, he reminded him of everything he needed to. Although he did intend to recruit his subordinates as generals, this boy was already in his thirties and his physical peak was only a few years away. The players manipulated by the butler have no brains to be handsome, and they won't be able to fight for many years. So if you still can't survive it and get sent to Liangshan, then go ahead, damn it, he won't stop you.
After a meal and a night's stay, Wang Yan stood at the gate the next day and politely sent off Lu Junyi and his party...
