Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 42 I Don't Like It
Since the Opium War, Liu Yongfu's Black Banner Army is a rare existence that can win against the foreign army, which is very rare.

"Be polite, be polite, Mr. Liu is just not used to the arrogance of foreigners, and he did his best!"

Liu Yongfu hastily said politely: "In order to enhance the strength of the brothers of the Black Banner Army, this is why we invite Master Huang to be the head coach!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled and looked at Wu Dong...

When we came out of Baozhilin, it was already half afternoon.

The originally noisy flow of people on the street also began to become scarce.

The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and it is not a good time to open the door for business during the Chinese New Year in this era.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and many shops and small businesses have already closed their stalls.

I don't know if it was because of Liu Yongfu's face that Huang Feihong gave Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong extremely courteous treatment.

When leaving, he not only personally sent them to the gate of the main hall, but also asked his direct disciple Lin Shirong to send Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong to the gate.

Yan Zhendong, who had been silent all the way away from Baozhilin, suddenly said, "Boy, why didn't you agree to Liu Tongzhi's solicitation?"

"Why are you so eager to agree?"

Holding a pack of snacks in his hand, Wu Dong laughed and said, "After the new year is over and we have a stable livelihood, it's not too late to go for refuge!"

When he was in Baozhilin, he did not directly agree to Liu Yongfu's two solicitations.

Fortunately, Liu Yongfu was not a chicken belly, and he didn't mean to be angry, but he never mentioned it in the subsequent conversation.

To be honest, Yan Zhendong felt a little pity for Wu Dong.

Who is Liu Yongfu?

That was a famous anti-French general, the commander-in-chief appointed by the imperial court.

Judging by his repeated solicitation, it was obvious that he valued Wu Dong very much.

If Wu Dong took the opportunity to join the Black Banner Army, wouldn't it be easy to become a high-ranking officer and general?
This is a great opportunity to achieve a class transition!

To be honest, Yan Zhendong was a little envious...

It can be seen that Yan Zhendong has doubts in his heart, but Wu Dong didn't mean to explain it on the street.

After returning to the small courtyard of the inn where he was temporarily renting, he handed over the purchases to his younger brothers, and then he sat in the main hall and explained to Yan Zhendong in detail.

"The reason why Liu Tongzhi keeps recruiting is because I have the ability, how is it possible?"

"It's just the first time we met, how can I see what I have ability. That is to say, what I said casually made him feel a lot, and I was so happy that the idea 'won my heart'!"

"Looking at Liu Tongzhi's deeds, we can see that he is a hardliner externally. At present, the government is definitely a minority, including the Black Banner Army. It is estimated that there will be no noise!"

"Suddenly hearing my unceremonious evaluation of the nature of foreigners, I naturally feel like a 'confidant'. At this time, the recruiting is to treat me as a first-class clean customer who can talk and make me laugh!"

"Although it's a great opportunity, I don't like it!"

Yan Zhendong had nothing to say, felt a little funny in his heart, and asked curiously: "After the Chinese New Year is over, what are you going to do?"

"Didn't I say it on the street, first find a stable job!"

"Why?"

"With a stable job, there is more freedom to play!"

"Don't you kid want to join the Black Banner Army directly?"

"Let's see, the Black Banner Army is so good at fighting, and they come from the Tiandihui, the government may not treat them like that!"

……

On New Year's Eve, Wu Dong and his little brothers set off hundreds of firecrackers in the rented yard, and ate a sumptuous New Year's meal lively.

In the afternoon, he took his little brother and Yan Zhendong to Baozhilin on the same street to pay New Year's greetings.

Baozhilin is also very lively...

For some unknown reason, there should be only less than fifty Huang Qiying at this time, and she did not appear in Baozhilin.

Huang Feihong, Ya Casu and Lin Shirong were all there, as for the other disciples, they all went home.

Huang Feihong was very happy to see Wu Dong and his party's New Year greetings, and he gave each of the younger brothers a red seee. If Wu Dong hadn't voluntarily declined, he might have gotten a copy.

The relationship is born, which makes sense.

It can be seen that when Wu Dong and his party came to pay New Year's greetings, Huang Feihong's expressions were quite friendly.

Talking and laughing for a while, I didn't say anything serious, just chatting about the customs of various places, and some jokes I've seen or heard.

Chinese New Year, the picture is a celebration.

Declining Huang Feihong's banquet invitation, after Wu Dong and his party left Baozhilin, they wandered around the city of Foshan, and returned to the temporary residence when the sky was getting dark.

In the evening, it is naturally another sumptuous dish...

All kinds of cured meats and fresh meat brought by the road, enough for them to cook hard for more than half a month.

Coupled with the prepared medicated diet, it can last longer.

"This is a good thing. If you eat it every day, it will be of great benefit to the body's accumulation, but the cost is not small!"

Yan Zhendong was not polite at all, he directly cooked three bowls of rice, and also drank two large bowls of herbal soup, and asked after eating.

Cleaning up the dishes and tidying up the dining table is naturally done by the younger brothers.

Sitting in front of the firepit, Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong chatted in low voices while drinking tea made from tea leaves presented by Huang Feihong.

"I understand the principle of sitting and eating the mountain and the sky!"

Laughing softly, taking a sip of tea, Wu Dong said with a leisurely smile, "After the third day of junior high school, we will start to get busy!"

"Have you ever thought about what to do for a living?"

Yan Zhendong has been well-informed from north to south, and he never imagined that he could make a living, comparable to the hunting harvest of Wu Dong and the little beggars before.

It was really an eye-opener for him. Just relying on hunting wild animals, he could exchange dozens of taels of silver, and there was enough rice, flour, grain, oil, and cured meat for a whole group to eat for a month. This level of income made him click his tongue.

Wasn't he himself hired by Wu Dong?
"You know, there are no large mountains and forests here in the urban area, and there are no wild animals for you to hunt!"

"You'll know then!"

Wu Dong didn't directly say that what he wanted to do was very simple, and Yan Zhendong might not believe it if he said it.

Besides, in the environment of the late Qing Dynasty, it was not easy to do business.

In fact, he is not very sure about whether he can earn a lot of money from what he wants to do. Of course, it is foreseeable to have a stable income.

Seeing that Yan Zhendong was silent, he changed the subject with a smile: "By the way, Master Yan, I am very interested in practicing martial arts, but I have never been taught by a master before, and I don't know the way of it. Can Master Yan introduce it?"

"What do you want to know?"

Yan Zhendong came to the spirit, this is his best field, and there are too many things to say.

If he can help Wu Dong, he will be very happy, at least it proves that he is still very useful...
