Need for Uncle

Chapter 34

Chapter 33 Ad hoc departments
Wang Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly, "Brother Zhang, you don't have to care about Lord Wei's attitude, he just has this kind of character."

Ma Xiaoshuai waved his hand, and said with a look of resentment: "No, it's not because of this matter, the main reason is that I feel that he has hostility towards me and you. Brother Wang, you should have noticed something too, right?"

"Hostile...hehe, maybe it is." Wang Cheng smiled wryly and nodded, before eating sullenly.

"Then why?" Ma Xiaoshuai asked after him.

Reluctantly, Wang Cheng put down the bowl and chopsticks again, and explained: "Master Wei is a general of the Imperial City garrison. He was ordered to take turns a year ago, so he brought his soldiers to the military supply camp."

"Brother Wang, let's get to the point." Ma Xiaoshuai was a little displeased, this Wang Cheng always likes to avoid the important when talking.

"Uh...Okay." Wang Cheng smiled awkwardly, then turned his back and gestured towards Ma Xiaoshuai.

Seeing this scene, Ma Xiaoshuai hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, pricked up his ears and leaned forward.

"Master Wei is quite well-known in the imperial city army. He is the youngest captain among the twelve guards of the imperial city. He is bold and unrestrained. He only makes friends with everyone, and he treats others kindly..."

"Nice?" Ma Xiaoshuai sneered, he really didn't feel how kind that person was.

"Listen to me." Wang Cheng was a little dissatisfied with Ma Xiaoshuai's interruption, and seeing that Ma Xiaoshuai was listening carefully, he continued: "It's true that he is kind to people, but no matter who he is, he treats ordinary people and soldiers with courtesy, mainly because He was an orphan since he was a child, so he must have suffered some hardships."

Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly realized that there is some truth in saying so. It is like in his original world, even if he sat in the same office, there is a big gap between grassroots background and elite background. The most obvious manifestation is treating people. People who were born are easy-going, and those greenhouse flowers that have not suffered, no matter how kind-hearted and easy-going they are, they will inevitably treat the low-level civilians with a superior attitude.

"Later, he joined the army. He dared to fight and kill on the battlefield, charged into battle, all the way from sitting in the front of the horse to the current position of captain. He is still a respectable person, but he has a problem with his personality, that is, he has never had a good look at young people who rely on family power to hold important positions. I think it is probably because of his own background. I am used to the warmth and coldness of human relationships and all kinds of injustice in the world, so I, and you, people like us behave more... more..."

envy?Disdain?Wang Cheng didn't say it, but Ma Xiaoshuai knew it must be the latter.

"You know, don't you?" Wang Cheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, with a wry smile on his face, there was nothing he could do about it.

"I know... I know." Ma Xiaoshuai really understood, but what he understood was that Mr. Wei was indeed a good friend, because Wang Cheng's words before made him understand this man a little bit. Climbing from a commoner to this position is enough to be admirable only because he does not use external force at all. As for his disdain for himself, it is completely understandable.

"Let's eat then, and sleep when we're done." Wang Cheng continued to eat sullenly.

"Brother Wang, there is one more thing."

"Anything else? Tell me, I will try my best to tell you what I know." Wang Cheng smiled wryly.

"According to what you said before, then why Master Chen..."

"You mean why Lord Chen seems to have a good relationship with him?" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, this is what he just remembered.

"Then I can tell you, because they are the same kind of people."

"A class of people?"

"Same background, same experience."

"Birthplace? Experience?" Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Wang Cheng in surprise, puzzled.

"Don't think that all the post-military commanders are promoted through connections like ours. The rear-military commanders are a mixed bag, and there are many people from all walks of life. How can there be fewer people from the military? In fact, the rear-military commanders don't have as many people as you think. It's so simple, and the water is deep!" Wang Cheng expressed Ma Xiaoshuai's doubts in one sentence, and looked at Ma Xiaoshuai who had suddenly realized, showing an inexplicable playful smile.

"It makes sense to say so, so Master Chen is also a hero who killed enemies for the battlefield?"

"Well... yes, he is indeed a hero." Wang Cheng said meaningfully.

"Oh..." Ma Xiaoshuai nodded thoughtfully, and lowered his head to eat.

In the following time, Ma Xiaoshuai didn't ask this question like a curious baby, and Wang Cheng was also happy to do so. After all, before leaving, Director Li had told him not to reveal too many sensitive things to Ma Xiaoshuai. I went to remind those who are afraid.

There was nothing to say for a while, and the food was quickly wiped out by the two of them, and it took only half an hour.

Looking at the few small bowls with no leftovers, the two looked at each other and laughed while covering their stomachs.

In the following time, the two drank some hot tea leisurely, recruited soldiers to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and chatted casually. Feeling more and more cold, they went to bed early to rest.

After a tiring day, even Wang Cheng, who is physically strong, couldn't help being tired, not to mention Ma Xiaoshuai, who fell into a deep sleep as soon as he got into bed, and had nothing to say all night.

…………

At dawn, the valley is covered with mist, lingering around, illusory.

The sun is not yet out, and it is a little cold.

The big tent was opened, and Ma Xiaoshuai came out in his pajamas, he had a good night, and he felt refreshed after waking up early.

As usual, he should get up early to exercise. Although he is in a different place today, he is no exception. This thing cannot be neglected.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ma Xiaoshuai started to trot, slowly picking up his pace.

"Yeah? I really didn't pay attention, this place is really not bad."

During the running, Ma Xiaoshuai was also looking around. After a few minutes, he couldn't help but be amazed. First of all, the location of the military supply camp is really exquisite. It is located in a huge valley, surrounded by mountains and steep rock walls, like a besieged city. , surrounded by natural dangers, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

What made Ma Xiaoshuai even more amazed was that apart from the neatly arranged tents, another feature of this military camp was the large and small caves on the surrounding rock walls. During the excavation, there are nearly dozens of large and small ones in the past few minutes, all of which are arranged on the surrounding rock walls near the lowest point of the ground. Among them, the larger ones have a diameter of about [-] meters, and the smaller ones have a few meters. It seems that all of this is indeed an extremely huge project for the purely artificial construction level of this world.

Just trotting all the way, looking all the way, more than ten minutes passed quickly, and Ma Xiaoshuai gradually showed fatigue, lamenting that his physical fitness was really bad, he also slowly slowed down, found a relatively remote open place, and started playing. Started Tai Chi.

After calming down, time quickly passed, and after a set of punches, the sun showed its head.

Ma Xiaoshuai, who was sweating but full of energy, completed the last movement, retracted his fists, and let down a little.

"It works, ha, persistence, the most important thing is persistence."

Although it was not the first time that he felt the effect of exercise, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. He muttered to himself and decided to persevere every day in the future. He believed that even if he couldn't become a shitty martial arts master in a year, he would still be able to improve his physical fitness. Presumably, what kind of business or official position was thought of before, this body is the top priority.

Isn't there a saying that the body is the capital of revolution.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai turned back along the original path. Fortunately, he walked in a straight line when he came here, so he didn't forget the way he came from. After walking so vigorously, he soon returned to the very special big tent.

Wang Cheng had already gotten up and was folding the quilt at this time, so it was hard to see that he was still a diligent person.

The amused Ma Xiaoshuai walked to the table, poured out a cup of tea, and drank it.

The sound alarmed the busy Wang Cheng, turned around, and saw Ma Xiaoshuai who hadn't seen him earlier in the morning.

"Where did Brother Zhang go this early in the morning?" Wang Cheng finished his work and sat down with a smile.

"Exercise." Ma Xiaoshuai answered simply.

"Exercising? Heh...heh." Wang Cheng looked at Ma Xiaoshuai's small body with a half-smile.

"What? No way?" Ma Xiaoshuai rolled his eyes. It was after exercising that he was in shape, or was he exercising because he was dissatisfied with his figure?

"Hehe, yes, why not, exercise is a good thing." Wang Cheng smiled bitterly.

"Brother Wang just woke up? What are you going to do today?" Ma Xiaoshuai returned to the bed and started to put on his official uniform.

"Well...it's nothing, the routine review is over." Wang Cheng curled his lips and continued to drink tea.

"How do you pass the scene? Tell me more clearly." Ma Xiaoshuai asked while wearing his clothes.

"It's just to take back a few records of military supplies." Wang Cheng said indifferently: "There is nothing to review these things, that is, after the scene, pretend to look at them, and bring them back to Director Li. In fact, he may not necessarily will see."

"Oh..." Ma Xiaoshuai nodded nonchalantly, and he understood in his heart that the outside world said that the rear army division is full of oil and water, so where is the excess?What's more, there are loopholes in the received silver bills, and when purchasing, they are shoddy. Apart from these things, there are not all insignificant access records in the mouths of those few Wang Cheng.

"Although it's just a matter of appearance, it still has to be done." Wang Cheng waited for a while, and when he saw Ma Xiaoshuai put on his clothes, he stood up, shook his official uniform, and said with a wry smile, "That's why it's hard for the two of us." Come on, let's go."

"OK."

"Occasionally?"

"Uh... I mean yes."

"Oh……"

After leaving the big tent, the two began to perform the scene kung fu that Wang Cheng said.

Wang Cheng, who had been in the rear army for several years, took Ma Xiaoshuai to an open hood not far in front of him. It was an entry and exit recording department. A few old men with gray beards were sitting together chatting and spanking. The two of them entered for a long time. Only then did I realize that this was not enough, what made Ma Xiaoshuai roll his eyes even more was that an old man who was obviously the leader waited for his eyes to look at Wang Cheng for a long time before he bluntly called Mr. Wang and saluted. Ma Xiaoshuai, who rolled his eyes, wondered how this group of people suspected of dementia kept their entry and exit records. Can they see that they are not necessarily clear about what they wrote?You must know that there are no such things as myopia glasses or reading glasses in this world.

It can be seen that Wang Cheng has become used to it, and he left with a wry smile after spending a long time with this old guy.

"Did you see it? Enough scene?" Wang Cheng shook the basic thick booklet in his hand, shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Well, very good, very powerful."

"..."

Just like this, they also fooled themselves, the two almost went around the entire camp, and even went to a few caves that Ma Xiaoshuai had seen before, and it was at this time that Ma Xiaoshuai learned that there were some caves in these caves. Part of it is for storage. The ones with better ventilation and moderate temperature are used to store grain and grass, and the ones that are drier and drier are used for armaments and weapons. The rest are mostly empty. According to Wang Cheng, the court has other plans in the future.

The two walked while talking, and it had been more than an hour since they left the big tent.

Just as the hungry Ma Xiaoshuai proposed whether to have breakfast, the sound of quarreling and knocking could be heard faintly in his ears.

The two turned their heads at the same time, and found that the direction of the sound happened to be the cave beside them.

"Where is this?" Ma Xiaoshuai saw many soldiers patrolling in front of the cave, and realized that this cave was different.

"Oh, that's the legendary special department, where military supplies are developed and manufactured."
