Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 250 Fu Yu
It turned out that Fu Yu was a skilled martial artist. He was good at using a long spear on horseback and also had the skill of using a flying hammer. When he hit someone on horseback, he would hit the target nine times out of ten. He had a nickname in the army, and they all called him "Flying Hammer" Fu Yu.

Hearing that he had to go to Liangshan County to protect Zhao Zhen and his wife, he was still reluctant to do so, even though Cheng Wanli promised to promote him to the position of captain in two years. However, he had to do it because he was under someone's control.

Therefore, when Fu Yu met Wu Yong and his party, he naturally had a bad face. Chen Da saw that Fu Yu's words were sharp, so he didn't indulge him. He said, "You are just a small flag bearer, but you are so powerful."

Fu Yu was still young and could not stand provocation. He said, "Come, come, let me fight you with a stick. The loser will give the wine and from now on, you must be humble and humble."

Chen Da was furious: "I'm not afraid of you."

At that moment, the two men each put on their armor and mounted their horses, holding their spears and coming to fight. They raised their spears simultaneously, circling left and right. Fu Yu was furious, and his spear never left Chen Da's vital points. Chen Da was furious, and stabbed Fu Yu's heart with his steel spear.

The two horses met, both spears raised. After fighting for more than twenty rounds, Fu Yu put down his spear, turned his horse and rode away. Chen Da rode over, and Fu Yu hung his spear on the saddle, stole the flying hammer in his hand, waited for Chen Da's horse to get close, turned around, looked at him in a friendly way, and hit him with the flying hammer.

Unexpectedly, Chen Da had already seen Luan Tingyu's methods. Seeing the flying hammer hanging on Fu Yu's waist, he was already prepared. He leaned over the horse's back and avoided the hammer.

When Fu Yu saw that his flying hammer had missed, he mustered up his remaining courage, turned his horse around, and the two fought for more than twenty rounds.

Wu Yong said to Shi Jin, "Brother, this Fu Yu is also a strong warrior, and his martial arts are not inferior to Brother Chen Da. I have seen that his flying hammer skills are similar to Luan Tingyu. If he can be subdued, it will be a credit to the great master."

After hearing this, Shi Jin raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, stepped forward and shouted, "Don't fight yet, just listen to me." Then he put the sword in the middle to separate them.

The two men stopped fighting, and Wu Yong stepped forward and said, "Brother Fu Yu, I see that your kung fu seems familiar to me, and your flying hammer skills seem to be similar to my brother Luan Tingyu's. I wonder where you learned this kung fu?"

Fu Yu said "Aye", got off his horse, and said with a bow, "The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognize each other. Luan Tingyu is my master. I wonder where my master is now?"

Wu Yong heard this and said with a smile: "Brother Luan Tingyu is indeed in my Liangshan County. He is now serving as a cavalry commander there."

Fu Yu said: "If I had known that Master was here, I would have gone to Liangshan County to serve Master."

Chen Da heard this and said with a smile: "Now is the perfect time."

Everyone laughed.

Zhao Zhen was also happy after hearing what Wu Yong said: "I never thought there would be this part. I wonder where Brother Fu Yu is. I want to meet him."

Wu Yong said, "I passed by Dulong Hill last night, and thought that the master and his disciple had not seen each other for a long time, so I asked him to stay at Dulong Hill and go to meet Brother Luan Tingyu first."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I was just asking you brothers to recommend talents a few days ago, and today the scholar brought back a warrior."

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Sir, this Fu Yu is a man of honor to Brother Luan Tingyu, I just happened to meet him. Sir, you are eager to find talents, not to mention the official reputation, but your reputation in the martial arts world has surpassed that of the little whirlwind in Cangzhou and the timely rain in Yuncheng."

Zhao Zhen listened and smiled, but did not respond. Instead, he told Wu Yong about the matters concerning the village heads and township heads that he had discussed with Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan, and then asked Wu Yong for his opinion.

Wu Yong listened, thought about it carefully, and praised: "Sir, Brother Xiao Rang's idea is very good. We only have one county here, so we naturally need to manage all the villages. In this way, each village will obey the county government, and officials will be promoted. Naturally, no one will be able to deceive the superiors and the subordinates in the future."

Zhao Zhen said: "Although this method is good, there is a lack of capable officials. The few who are useful in the county school are all asked to go to the county government office. They will start from the lowest level of casual books and can only learn and teach at the same time. If they can become somewhat skilled, the county government will naturally be much easier for Xiao Rang brothers."

Wu Yong said: "This is good. Although it is a bit busy, it also has its benefits. These people are all taught by Brother Xiao Rang, and they are supervised by Brother [Iron Face] Pei Xuan. He is a very good writer, loyal, upright and smart, and will not compromise. After these officials are trained, they will naturally be good. Unlike those experienced people, they are as cunning as foxes."

"Yes, but it will be troublesome for you brothers to take care of it. I thought that in a few days, I would ask Yang Lin, Shi Qian, Bai Sheng, Duan Jingzhu, Shi Yong and other brothers who travel around the world to go around the surrounding areas to see if there are any heroes who have wandered around the world or scholars who have failed to achieve their goals." Wu Yong said, "Song Gongming, the timely rain in Shandong and Hebei, and Zhu Tong, the head of the cavalry and infantry, and Lei Heng, the winged tiger, are all in Yuncheng County. It's a pity that these three people have their families here and are familiar with the people. I'm afraid they are unwilling to come here."

Zhao Zhen also sighed after hearing this.

Wu Yong said: "We can focus on investigating the two places, Qingyun Mountain and Yuanbi Village, in Yizhou that were mentioned a few days ago. If they have no bad records, inviting Liangshan to come would be a great help."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "We will deal with this after we get rid of Zhu Yongqing. I have something else to discuss with the military advisor."

"This time when I went to the main world, Song Shiqin, the head of Hanji Township, came to me and wanted to explore an ancient tomb site with me. My brother-in-law Gao Hu suggested that I go and see for myself. There are zombies and ghosts there. Brother, let's discuss and see which heroes to choose to go with me."

Wu Yong listened and inquired about it, and said, "So, we should choose Buddhists and Taoists. There is only one Taoist priest, Taoist Dong, but there are many monks. Let's not talk about Guanghui and Lu Zhishen. Yuantong in Liantai Temple is also a high monk. There are also 18 martial monks. Since it is an ancient tomb, there may be traps. Let's take Brother Shiqian with us."

"The ancient tomb is narrow, so we don't need cavalry leaders. We can select a few brave infantry leaders and bring magic weapons to deal with it. It just so happens that the master is marrying a concubine tomorrow, and everyone is coming to congratulate him. I will find a time to let Dong Laodao, Yuantong and others prepare first."

Zhao Zhen said: "That's good. Although I am a Taoist priest, I have no other skills to use now, and I don't know when I can learn Taoist skills."

Wu Yong said: "I have heard of the magical arts of Taoism, but I have never seen them. Please pay more attention to them in the future."

As they talked, the two talked about Fu Yu's whereabouts. As they were talking, they saw Luan Tingyu push the door open and come in, followed by a young-looking man. After greeting, Luan Tingyu said, "My lord, I believe you have heard from the military advisor that this man is my disciple [Flying Hammer] Fu Yu."

"Back then, my junior fellow apprentice Sun Li and I were both learning from our master. After our master passed away, we both left the mountain. In my early years, I passed by a manor and applied to be a coach. Seeing that he had good aptitude, I privately taught him a set of spear techniques and flying hammer techniques. After I left, Fu Yu also went to live with his relatives. I never thought that we would meet again."

Wu Yong said with a smile: "It is said that Liangshan County is the blessed land of Master Luan."

Zhao Zhen asked: "How do you say it?"

Wu Yong gently waved his feather fan and said, "There are four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and getting your name on the imperial examination. Coach Luan has three of them."

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

After laughing, Zhao Zhen said to the two of them, "Since Brother Fu Yu is here, we should make some arrangements. I have just discussed with the military advisor and wanted to send Brother Fu Yu to Coach Luan's army, but I thought that Brother Li Ying's newly built Seventh City needs more help, so I thought of sending Brother Fu Yu to the Seventh City to serve as the deputy commander of the cavalry."

Wu Yong said, "Brother Yang Lin often goes out on business to recruit heroes, so he has to put aside a lot of military affairs. Therefore, brother Li Ying is in need of an assistant."

After hearing this, Fu Yu said, "I am willing to go. Dulong Hill where my master is is not far away. I can also ask for martial arts advice during my rest time."

Wu Yong said, "Tomorrow is the day when the great master will take a concubine. We will not disturb him. The great master will write a handwritten order, and I, Luan Tingyu and I, will send Fu Yu to Li Ying's place."

Zhao Zhen did as he was told. When the three were about to leave, Zhao Zhen looked at Wu Yong, who was waving a feather fan, and said, "Xuejiu, where did you get this goose feather fan?"

Wu Yong said, "I admire Prime Minister Zhuge the most in my life, so I made this goose feather fan for myself. I wonder why the great official asked this?"

Zhao Zhen said, "Military advisor, please wait a moment." Then he said a few words to Zhao Yuanli and asked him to go to the warehouse.
