Fenghou

Chapter 56 Flies
After registering, the next step is to arrange the dormitory. Chen Qing is the third batch of registrants, but the imperial court treats them well, with free board, lodging and clothes. Chen Qing feels like returning to the special police academy back then.

Of course, if you want to go out for drinking and tea, go to Goulan to listen to music, dress better, or live better, you have to pay for it yourself.

The accommodation is a room for three people. The room is very spacious, about [-] square meters. There are only three beds. There is a box and a desk next to each bed. All kinds of toiletries are placed on the boxes.

Chen Qing and Hu Yantong were in the same dormitory. Besides them, there was also a local martial arts student who came a day earlier than them and had already grabbed the best seat by the window, the best bed and the best box in the dormitory. He replaced the desk and the desk, and surrounded it with a screen, as if there was a private world.

Chen Qing gave up the seat by the window to Hu Yantong, and he chose the corner by the door. Normal martial arts should be three years, but now is an extraordinary period, and their schooling is only one year.

"This guy also changed my suitcase!" Hu Yantong cast a contemptuous look at the roommate next to him. The other roommate was not there, so they probably went out for a drink.

After making the bed, Chen Qing smiled and said, "I think they're all pretty much the same, and they're all quite old."

"You think so, but others may not. My box has seven cracks, but the box he replaced has only three cracks, and four are missing!"

Chen Qing couldn't help laughing, "Huyan, are you going home today?"

Hu Yantong's family is also in Lin'an, and his ancestor is well-known, Hu Yanzan, the famous founding general of the Song Dynasty.

Hu Yantong sighed, "My mother wants me to go back, but my father forbids it. He said that if I don't become a commander, I will never even think about stepping into Huyan's house."

"You are preparing to be a general now. After learning martial arts, you should be a commander!"

"The two brothers are here, I'm so sorry!"

Before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first, and a warrior about thirty years old walked in from the door. He was not tall, with a round face, thin eyebrows and eyes, and a smile on his face.

"Ding Tao, how old are the two brothers, you can just call me Lao Ding."

"Listen to the accent, Brother Ding is also from Bianliang!" Chen Qing asked with a smile.

"Hey! More than half of Lin'an City is Bianliang people. It's not surprising. You are Brother Chen! I read your registration documents. Brother Huyan, I have heard the name for a long time! The five knives of Bianliang back then "

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Yantong interrupted him unhappily, "You were ignorant when you were young, so don't mention the past!"

"Hehe! That's right, the past is too sad, it's best not to mention it again, let's move on! How about I invite the two virtuous brothers to have a glass of water and wine?"

"Thank you, I quit drinking." Hu Yantong rebuffed him straight away.

Chen Qing smiled, "Just here, there are so many things to do, let's have a few drinks when we have time."

Ding Tao was not angry at all, he chuckled, "We will get together again in the future!"

He took a few taels of silver from the box and left in a hurry.

Hu Yantong looked at his back and said coldly: "I have heard about this person too. A descendant of Ding Wei, the Prime Minister of Renzong, his father flattered Gao Qiu and became a high-ranking official in the Imperial Army. He himself also entered the palace as a guard. This person He is slick and slick, and he can speak well with one mouth, you think he really wants to buy us a drink, it's okay to drink, but he is definitely not the one who pays for it in the end."

"He doesn't have any strengths?" Chen Qing asked with a smile.

"Of course he has his strengths. He is very well-informed. If you want to inquire about something, you can definitely go to him, but he will not tell you in vain. You just need to remember one thing, this person is not beneficial."

"Who else does things for others for nothing these days!" A strange voice came from the door.

As soon as Chen Qing turned his head, he saw Wang Bo's four members of the yamen standing at his door. Wang Bo held his hands in his arms, leaning against the door frame, and looked at himself with a smile that was not a smile.

Chen Qing didn't feel disgusted with these four people, but he didn't have a good impression of them either. It's just that their lives had nothing to do with him, so he just kept them at arm's length.

"What's the matter with the four?"

"Commander Chen, you hide it very deeply! We just found out that you are the first in the exam. Do you think we are not worthy to compete with you, so you deliberately hide yourself, no! Humiliate us in another way? "

Chen Qing sighed in his heart, there is a kind of person who will mess with you if you don't mess with him.

"I don't mean to humiliate anyone by shooting arrows. I have never met you before. I don't even know your names. If you say that I am targeting you, you are thinking too much."

"But we feel humiliated!"

"Wang Bo, what do you want to do?" Hu Yantong came over with an angry face.

"Huyan, this has nothing to do with you." A yamen dissuaded.

"It doesn't matter what!"

Hu Yantong stared, "You came to my dormitory to make trouble, and you said that it has nothing to do with me?"

"Huyan, let me do it myself!"

Chen Qing stopped Hu Yantong, and calmly said to Wang Bo: "How about this! Let me invite you to have a glass of wine and explain the misunderstanding clearly. We will all be classmates in the future, and I believe we will get along happily."

Wang Bo shook his head, "Bring us a drink, you, a small battalion commander, are not worthy!"

Even though Chen Qing didn't want to cause trouble, he was also irritated by Wang Bo's provocation. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Then what do you want?"

"It's very simple. The officials of the Ministry of War decided you to be the number one in the exam. We don't accept it. Who knows if you bribed the examiners behind your back? We want you to compete with us unless you can beat us. If you lose, you must go to the Ministry of War to say clear."

At this moment, a few flies flew over and buzzed around Chen Qing's bed. Chen Qing suddenly made a move, as fast as lightning, and caught a fly with one hand.

He looked at the two flies, crushed them casually, and said indifferently, "It's really disgusting to see a few flies come to harass you before the weather is hot!"

The three yamen were furious, and just about to curse loudly, Wang Bo stopped them. He could see very clearly that Chen Qing just caught the fly not just with quick hands, but two wings of the flies. This kind of eyesight and The speed of his hands shocked him, and he would only humiliate himself if he competed with this person.

Wang Bo took a deep look at Chen Qing, "The future is long, let's just wait and see!"

He waved, "Let's go!"

The other three glared at Chen Qing and followed Wang Bo away.

Hu Yantong shook his head and said: "They are like this in Bianliang, Tokyo. They think they are superior and never put others in their eyes. In fact, I was also like this before. I just went through hardships and changed, but they didn't. It’s still the same virtue, you just ignore them from now on.”

Chen Qing smiled and nodded, "I don't have the energy to pay attention to them, let's go! Let's go out and find a tavern for a drink, I'll treat them!"

Hu Yantong raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that! I am the landlord, so I should be the one to invite you."

It is not the first time for Chen Qing to visit a small tavern in the Song Dynasty. He has been there several times in Linyou County. Although one is in Guanzhong and the other is in Jiangnan, the style and layout are similar. The table was full of greasy food, and the wine was also sour and cloudy.

Although Hu Yantong is a son of a wealthy family in Tokyo, he has been in the army for three years and has already adapted to various harsh environments. He has suffered all kinds of hardships, so he doesn't take this sour wine seriously.

"What is the name of Brother Chen Xian?"

Chen Qing didn't have any Biaozi, but since in the Song Dynasty, friends usually called Biaozi, and it would be inconvenient not to have it. He had long thought about using Shangyuan as his Biaozi, which was the name of his predecessor.

"My name is Shangyuan, you can call me Chen Shangyuan."

"This calligraphy is good. It's not like my calligraphy Jinu. It's too ugly. You should call me Huyan!" Hu Yantong resented his calligraphy.

"It's not bad, but since you don't like it, I'll call you Huyan in the future. I'll ask you about something."

Hu Yantong laughed and said: "You should ask that roommate, just kidding, tell me! What do you want to inquire about?"

"I want to know, how should we receive our salary?"

Chen Qing's hundreds of taels of silver were donated to the families of the fallen soldiers. He only kept twenty taels of silver, and paid the ship's fare, leaving only eight taels of silver.

Although martial arts includes board and lodging, it is still far from enough to spend a year in Lin'an. Fortunately, he already has Zhongwei Lang's entrusted salary officer, so he can still receive a salary within the establishment.

Hu Yantong's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What is the official rank of my virtuous brother?"

"It seems to be Zhongwei Lang!"

"Zhong Wei Lang!"

Hu Yantong smacked his lips, and said in a sour tone: "It's actually the twenty-ninth rank, and I'm only the forty-fifth rank Cong Yilang now, hey! You can't compare, people are more annoying than others."

"I'm just lucky!"

"Don't be humble, I'm not a fool, you don't have a family background, you can get to the [-]th rank, that's in exchange for your life, unlike Wang Bo and others, who rely on their ancestors to get to the [-]th rank, I'm afraid they haven't even seen the Jurchens."

Chen Qing knocked on the table dissatisfied, "I'm asking about your business! How do you get your salary?"

"This is easy. Find a certificate from martial arts. Don't you have a bronze medal for military rank officials? Take it and go to the official department together. There is an external window for the official department and the third division at Chaotianmen, and you can handle it there." , Once it’s done, you’ll go there to get the money every month from now on.”

"How much can I get every month?"

"I don't know either. I'll know when I get it."

The two drank a few glasses of wine. At this time, the tavern was full of people. They were basically martial arts students, but they were not familiar with each other. They drank as a group in the dormitory.

"Hey! I didn't expect the land price in Lin'an City to be so expensive. One mu of land costs several thousand guan, and it was only a thousand guan last summer! It has increased by four or five times in half a year. It seems impossible to buy a house in Lin'an. "

"One thousand guan is not expensive. Last year when Jin Bing came here, the land price in Lin'an was at its lowest point. It fell to a hundred guan per mu. I heard that a businessman had a good vision and bought hundreds of acres of land in one go. Time has earned dozens of times, and this opportunity to make a fortune will never come again."

"That's because you are ignorant, and you still have another chance to make a fortune."

The tavern suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the martial arts student.

The martial arts student said triumphantly: "Wanyan Loushi, you know! Marshal Du of the Kingdom of Jin was beheaded by a general of the Song Army in Jingzhao City. I heard that the Wolf Lord of the Kingdom of Jin offered a reward of [-] guan to capture this general of the Song Dynasty. Everyone, One hundred thousand guan!"

The tavern exploded with a bang, and everyone knew that Lou Shi Wanyan was killed by Zhang Jun's army, but not the details.

Everyone was discussing, and someone asked loudly: "What's the name of that General Song?"

"I don't know, I just heard that it's the head of the Eight Character Army!"

It turned out to be Dutou, and the discussion became more intense.

Hu Yantong stared at Chen Qing with wide eyes, "It can't be you!"

Chen Qing smiled faintly, "Do you think I, the Left Shoulder King, have the ability to kill Wanyan Loushi?"

"That's right, Wanyan Loushi is known as the number one general in the Kingdom of Jin. I really don't know how the general Song who killed him is a god-like figure?" Hu Yantong's face was full of admiration, and his eyes were full of yearning.

In fact, it is not surprising that Chen Qing's name is still unknown. Wanyan Wushu posted a list of wanted Chen Qing in various places in Guanzhong. At that time, he hadn't killed Wanyan Loushi because he killed nearly [-] sentry cavalry in Erlang Village.

The second time he was wanted, it was only Wanyan Meili who wanted [-] cavalry soldiers of the Song Army and was rewarded with [-] coins.

Wanyan Loushi was killed, and the Jurchens kept it secret. Only a few high-level officials knew that it was Chen Qing who killed him, and Xu Ning guessed that it was Chen Qing who did it through Dingyuan Gong.

As for the Song Army, only Zhang Jun, Wu Jie and other high-level officials knew about it, and even the name of Chen Qing was not mentioned in Zhang Jun's letter to the emperor.

Han Shizhong knew because he had a good personal relationship with Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun's aide Wang Mu told him.

Chen Qing felt that the time was almost up, and they had to rush back to martial arts before Haishi.

He waved, "Bartender, check out!"

The two argued for a while, but it was Chen Qing who rushed to pay the money. To his surprise, a pot of wine and three dishes cost only [-] Wen.

"This is turbid wine, turbid wine is very cheap. Try buying sake. A pot of wine is at least [-] renminbi. There are also abundant aquatic products and mountain products in the south of the Yangtze River. We ordered a plate of braised river prawns in oil and a plate of West Lake vinegar. Fish, and a can of stewed mountain mushroom and chicken soup are the cheapest in the local area, and the tavern is all about these things, next time I invite you to Hukou Restaurant to drink sake and eat mutton, that will be an enjoyment."

Chen Qing curled his lips, "It sounds like I took advantage of you tonight, I'll invite you next time!"

Hu Yantong chuckled, "I can't ask for it!"

As soon as the two of them returned to the martial arts dormitory, they heard shouting from a distance, and the crowd was excited. Countless Tai students surrounded the martial arts student dormitory in the dark night, constantly raising their arms and shouting slogans, and they didn't know what happened.
