first minister

Chapter 58 Xia Yunfei's first appearance

"Join the army? It's not time for conscription! Get out!"

The sergeant at the door waved impatiently.

Xia Yunfei calmly said: "Since there will be conscription, why do you reject people with lofty ideals? Is it only during the conscription time that there are people with lofty ideals in the world?"

The guard was taken aback, "Damn it, you're full of jingles, you want to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy! Where did you come from, get out of here, or I will be rude!"

Xia Yunfei was unmoved, "I didn't force my way, and I didn't do anything. If you dare to do something, believe it or not, Empress Concubine De will arrest you immediately, as a warning to others."

The guard was taken aback by the words, and at this moment, a man wandering in the distance came over, "What are you doing, talking for so long?"

"Excuse me, this kid said he wants to join the army. I told him that it's not time for conscription yet, and he insisted on leaving. He even gave me a lot of reasoning."

The man looked Xia Yunfei up and down, and snorted coldly, "You dare to break into my barracks without being an army, so hurry up, we have no plans to recruit troops."

Xia Yunfei opened the mouth and said: "So, you are not recruiting people with lofty ideals from all over the world, but just completing the task according to the orders from above?"

"Hey, you bastard!" The man became angry, "Do you really think that you have gained a few pounds of fat? Come on, man, I will fight with you. If you can hold ten breaths under my hands, man will take you in to see the centurion!"

Xia Yunfei nodded, "Okay, this is the Wudang Army I want to vote for!"

"Who do you think you are!" Hearing this tone, the man spat out speechlessly, and a bull rushed forward recklessly.

Xia Yunfei stepped on the ground with his left foot, spun his heel, and passed sideways, then his long arm was like a whip, hitting the man's back, a huge force gushed out from the arm, and directly smashed him to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

This movement is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the speed.

It was so fast that this man who was not weak could not react directly, and was knocked to the ground like a child.

"Damn it, you have some skills!"

The man was not a narrow-minded person either, so he took a mouthful of dusty saliva, "Go, I'll take you to see the centurion, and he has the final say on whether or not to accept you!"

After a while, the centurion got up from the ground and spit out dusty saliva, "Go, I'll take you to see the captain, and he has the final say on whether or not to accept you!"

After a while, a captain of a thousand soldiers in the Wudang Army got up from the ground and looked at Xia Yunfei who was slightly out of breath, "My boy, you are a talent! I'll take you in! Come on, I'll take you to see the general and find a good position for you."

As one of the five armies of the empire, the Wudang army has a high status. The general Jin Jiancheng who came with Concubine De this time is only a deputy general, but he is also one of the few figures in the imperial army.

Among the younger generation of the imperial army, he is known for his good character, courage and loyalty.

At this moment, he was sitting in the big tent, frowning slightly, "What's the noise outside?"

The soldiers replied: "There is a soldier who joins the army, Li Duwei is testing his strength!"

"Join the army?" Jin Jiancheng frowned again, "Now is not the day to recruit soldiers, how can anyone casually send someone to join the army!"

"It is said that the man won consecutive victories against a chief and a centurion, and then he was brought to Captain Li for him to make a decision."

Jin Jiancheng frowned, stood up, bowed his waist and walked out of the tent, just in time to see Li Duwei being thrown away by Xia Yunfei's stick against the mountain.

He looked at Xia Yunfei with great interest, watching him follow Li Duwei to his big tent.

"General."

Li Duwei knelt down on one knee, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Jin Jiancheng stopped him with his hand and looked at Xia Yunfei, "Why did you come to join the army?"

Xia Yunfei opened his mouth and said: "Caomin has always been careful about the army, and he has heard of Wudang's great name. Today, seeing it is completely different from the sergeants he saw in the county. The army looks neat and orderly, worthy of the name of the world's powerful army. His mind is swaying, and he can't help but want to try it."

Jin Jiancheng said: "The army has its own rules. If you are recruiting, you will have no problem with your ability, but now the time is not right. If you want to join the army, you have to beat me with guns. How dare you?"

The faces of the captain and the sergeants in the audience changed, but due to the strict military law of the Wudang army, they had no choice but to hold back and dare not speak.

Jin Jiancheng is famous for his outstanding marksmanship in the Wudang Army. He is here to be a leader, but you have to test it yourself. Isn't this a bit too bullying?

If it were a person who was up and down in the officialdom, he would definitely understand immediately that Jin Jiancheng had a heart of love for talents.

It's a pity that these big soldiers don't understand.

Xia Yunfei frowned, "I have never learned weapons."

Jin Jiancheng was about to speak, Xia Yunfei continued: "Then I will take your gun with my bare hands."

Jin Jiancheng is really good-tempered, he is not angry, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't be too crazy."

Immediately ordered the soldiers to fetch a long stick, "I won't hurt your life, let you know what it means to have someone beyond a human being, and a sky beyond the sky!"

After a while, Jin Jiancheng took a few steps back, managed to stabilize his figure, panted heavily, looked at the young man who was also out of breath but seemed to have nothing to do, smiled and threw the long stick in his hand, "Cheer up! With such martial arts, how can I be turned away by no army! Come here, for this little brother, by the way, what's your name?"

Xia Yunfei clasped his fists, "Don't dare to spoil the general's ears with a humble name. The grass man came here today to see if he can join the army. If he can, then go home and discuss with his parents. It won't be too late to come back at this time tomorrow to complete the paperwork! I hope the general will approve!"

Jin Jiancheng nodded, "This is also the reason, then we will see you tomorrow!"

"Thank you, General, for your understanding!" Xia Yunfei cupped his hands, turned around and strode out.

When he got to a place where no one was around, Xia Yunfei looked around, his sullen face suddenly lost control, and he rubbed his body with a grin.

Jin Jiancheng's stick hit his body, it really hurt!It's not at all easier than his cheap master's drills a few days ago.

In the barracks, Jin Jiancheng walked back to the big tent, his complexion changed instantly, he jumped and rubbed his body, that young man's fists and feet were made of iron, he hadn't been beaten like this for a long time!

Captain Li opened the curtain and walked in, "General, who is this?"

"Ahem." Jin Jiancheng instantly returned to normal, "What's the matter?"

Li Duwei said: "General, should we send someone?"

Jin Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Just wait with peace of mind, if he finds out, wouldn't it be a disservice to Yingcai?"

He sat down in his seat, "Since Lord Military God became idle, everyone in the court has moved their minds. The crown prince, concubine Shu, prime minister, etc., have been vigorously deploying in the army. They fought fiercely, and the young master didn't buy their account, so they suppressed our Wudang army by coincidence."

He sighed, "If it hadn't been for the prestige of the Lord of the Army these years, and if it hadn't been for the son's hard support, the Wudang Army would have been infiltrated into a sieve, and it existed in name only. Now that there are such talents who take the initiative to serve, thousands of troops are easy to get, and good generals are hard to find. We should cherish it!"

"Report!"

The soldiers outside the tent shouted, "General, the concubine De concubine has sent someone to send a message, please come to the mansion to tell the general."

Jin Jiancheng frowned, didn't say much, arranged the affairs in the camp, got up and led the soldiers, and rode out of the camp.

The military camp is very close to Yun Mansion, just in case they can provide timely support.

So, soon, Jin Jiancheng walked into the Yunfu, and in the main hall, he saw Concubine De, and the young man who reached the sky in one step last night.

But he has no interest in these things. As a soldier, he is still a vice-general of the army, a veteran who was led by the military god, he has his pride and purity.

"The last general pays his respects to the empress."

Concubine De smiled kindly, "General Jin doesn't need to be too polite. Let me introduce you. This is my newly recognized brother-in-law, Xia Jingyun."

Xia Jingyun saluted respectfully, "Xia Jingyun has met General Jin."

Jin Jiancheng felt helpless, so he could only greet him with a cupped fist, "Master Xia."

Like an acquaintance, Xia Jingyun said flatteringly: "I've heard for a long time that Wudang's army is one of the best in the world. Now that I see General Jin's demeanor today, I know that the rumors are true!"

Jin Jiancheng put on a straight face, "Young Master Xia is absurd."

Seeing that the other party refused to accept the offer, Xia Jingyun had no choice but to say directly: "General Jin, I have a cousin who is capable of writing and martial arts, and has extraordinary skills. He has been in the army since he was a child. He wants to take this opportunity to serve in the Wudang army. I wonder if it is possible?"

Jin Jiancheng narrowed his eyes for an instant, and then looked at Concubine De, "Your Majesty, is this what you mean, or what Young Master Xia means?"

Concubine De pretended not to understand, "Is there any difference? Isn't it just that a junior wants to join the army and serve the country, which is a good thing!"

Good thing is a hammer, I don't believe you who come out of the harem don't know what it means.
Jin Jiancheng cursed in his heart, the cousin of Concubine De's younger brother is equivalent to Concubine De's younger brother, such a person wants to join the army, how dare you let him start as a soldier?
It is the most basic to start a thousand-man captain.

And does this mean that Concubine De's family has stretched their hands into the Wudang Army?
If you want to say that this person is extremely capable, then you have to hold your nose and admit it. It's not that there are no concubines in the Wudang Army, nor are there people who are prime ministers, but look at this guy.
His eyes turned on Xia Jingyun. He was as thin as a chicken, but he looked greasy. What could his cousin do with such a person?
If Concubine De hadn't been well liked by the army and changed his outlook, he would have wanted to ridicule her directly.

"Your Majesty, this is not the season for conscription. There is no plan to recruit troops in the army, and the last general is not Wu Wu as the commander of the army. If Mr. Xia's cousin really wants to join the army, he can join the army himself."

Concubine De's expression was slightly displeased, "You are here with soldiers now, isn't it different to vote for you?"

Jin Jiancheng didn't bother to talk about the reason, and lowered his head, "Please forgive me, my lord."

Concubine De was half-truthfully angry, "You"

"Your Majesty, calm down! General Jin is also difficult to deal with." Xia Jingyun hurriedly stood up to persuade him, "General Jin, if this is the case, then I will disturb you."

Jin Jiancheng glanced at Concubine De, Concubine De waved her hand, "Thank you, General Jin."

"I will retire at the end!"

After Jin Jiancheng left, the unhappiness on Concubine De's face dissipated instantly, and she looked at Xia Jingyun apologetically, "I didn't expect Jin Jiancheng to be so reckless."

Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "Sister, there is no need to get angry, first look at your attitude, and then think of a way."

Concubine De sighed, "In the Great Xia Army, the old military god Jiang Qingxuan is a well-deserved leader, but the old military god has retired to the mountains and forests for more than ten years, and the Wudang Army controlled by his grandson Jiang Yuhu is also regarded by many neutral factions as the last piece of pure land in the military. The prince, the eldest prince, Concubine Shu, and the prime minister are all deliberate in developing their power in the military, and there is no way to shake the Wudang army. They all stop at the captaincy, and they can't make any waves."

She looked at Xia Jingyun, "Why don't you just change it? I'll try to operate it when I go back, and see if there are any places to attack the Crane Army, Yulin Army, etc. No matter how you say it, it's much easier than the Wudang Army."

Xia Jingyun nodded, "I'll try again, if it doesn't work, I can only trouble my sister."

Concubine De hummed, "Don't force yourself too much. This matter can be discussed in the long term."

"Sister, don't worry."

Afterwards, the two chatted about some small things, and Xia Jingyun resigned and left.

When he got home, he saw his cousin, and he felt a little embarrassed, "Brother, I just asked my mother to invite General Jin, who has no army, but he refused. You wait for two days, and I will think of a way."

Xia Yunfei said: "I went to the Wudang Army barracks today and beat them from bottom to top, and they have already agreed."

!!!

Xia Jingyun stood up abruptly.

I was surprised at how powerful my cousin was, and also surprised that my cousin would be so proactive.

Xia Yunfei continued: "I didn't tell them their names, I just said that I will discuss it with my family when I go home, and I will go tomorrow."

Xia Jingyun looked at his cousin's thick eyebrows, big eyes, and heroic face, and was amazed, you are as smart as Prime Minister Fusang!

He rolled his eyes and thought about it, "In that case, cousin, please listen to my arrangement!"
