Chapter 333 The Arena (Two in One)

Liu De continued: "The establishment of the Gongwei Division is still short, and there will definitely be many disadvantages, so I need you, the commander, to find a way!"

Liu De patted Dai Zong on the shoulder, "I'll be back in Liaocheng in a few days, is there anything I can help you with?"

Dai Zong hurriedly said: "Master, there are some things!"

"Tell me!"

Of course Dai Zong would not be polite, and said to Liu De: "My lord, the Guard Division often moves around, and most of them fight alone, so they lack high-end military power. I just want to ask the lord for some manpower!"

"That's it!"

Liu De thought for a while about the generals under his command. There is no generals suitable for the guards. They are all generals who are good at commanding troops. , and it is impossible to be under Dai Zong.

So this proposal to Dai Zong made Liu De feel a little embarrassed.

Liu De thought for a while and said: "I have already notified Chen Gong and Xun Changshi to issue a talent recruitment order in Yanzhou. There is also the Martial Arts Examination, the exam will start after the new year, but if there are talented people who want to become a scholar, there will definitely be talents suitable for the Arch Guard Division, I will issue an order here to allocate some places for you in the Arch Guard Division, how about it?"

Dai Zong was overjoyed: "Thank you, my lord! My lord, this is really a solution to my problem! These days, my hair is almost gone!"

"Haha, all right, let's go!"

Liu De was delighted to see the miserable Dai Zong, and waved Dai Zong to go down.

Liu De tapped the table with his fingers, and said to Dian Wei and Xu Chu behind him, "Please go on, let's go back to Liaocheng in three days' time!"

"Yes!"

During these three days, Liu De inspected the city walls and inspected the barracks. At the very least, he wanted to let the soldiers know who they were working for. Necessary.

Moreover, Liu De is planning to spend one to two months traveling all over Yanzhou, going back to Dongyu, and going to Leyang City. If you don't go and see it yourself, you will never know what it looks like down there. .

But Liu De's identity is different now, even if he is willing to bring two followers to visit in private, Chen Shuo and other courtiers will definitely try their best to stop him.

The so-called private visits to Kangxi’s micro-service are all nonsense and folk jokes, but Kangxi did go on tour many times. Compared with other emperors, Kangxi is one of the emperors who visited the local society and understood the people’s sentiments the most in Chinese history.

The more representative ones are the six southern tours.

But going on tour and private visits in microservices are two different things, okay? A tour should have at least hundreds of people, and officials in various places will definitely be notified.

In the end, Liu De went to visit Chen Qi, who was seriously injured in bed. He recovered well, and basically healed up after the New Year.

Liu De asked Chen Qi to recuperate at Jinyangguan. Such injuries are really not suitable for long-distance travel. Chen Qi was more worried about Dongfu's situation, so Liu De asked Yu Jin to go back first. Not to mention how Yu Jin was in his later years, at least his ability was there. , due to the ban, Dongfu can't be messed up.

Three days later, Liu De took Dianwei, Xu Chu, Qin Qiong, Liu Tang and others to Liaocheng, and Yu Jin also went back to Dongfu along the way.

Xi Zhicai was weak and sick, and Xu Shu alone was enough here, so Liu De transferred Xi Zhicai, Cui You, Jian Yong and others back to Liaocheng, and the rest of the generals did not change much for the time being. Not lifted.

It's all right, um, all right
In early November, Liu De returned to Liaocheng.

As soon as he returned to Liaocheng, Liu De also felt that he was really tired from running around, and all affairs in Yanzhou were on the right track. Liu De didn't need to lie in the government office every day to deal with government affairs. Take control, and then deal with some more important things. After all, there is a capable person like Xun Yu for a lot of trivial matters!
So Liu De planned to rest in the mansion for a few more days to give himself a good vacation.

"Second uncle, come out to play with me!"

The second day after Liu De just came back, Liu Jia came to Liu De's study bouncing around, looking at Liu De expectantly, with a cute and silly face.

Liu De put down his writing brush, pulled Liu Jia's chubby face hard, and said, "You eat every day, and you are getting fatter and fatter. Be careful not to get married in the future!"

Liu Jia pulled Liu De's handcuff aside, and said in dissatisfaction, "I'm so fat, Second Uncle is just talking nonsense!"

"Your younger brother Dianman, younger brother Bai Zhong, and younger sister Yanran are all in Liaocheng, and brother Xu Yong is also at the house, why? Second uncle must accompany you!" Liu De said.

Liu Jia's small face was pulled down instantly, and she pouted and said coquettishly, "Second Uncle is not trustworthy, Second Uncle agreed, he will accompany me to play in the street!"

"well!"

Liu De patted Liu Jia's little head vigorously.

Liu Jia has grown up and can no longer be hugged, but it is still okay to pat her head.

"Second Uncle touched my head again, I'm not going to grow taller!" Liu Jia protected his head with a displeased expression on his face.

Liu De patted Liu Jia on the back of the head again, "Go, call your brother Xu Yong, let's go shopping in the street today!"

"okay!"

When Liu Jia heard this, his eyes narrowed into crescents, he grinned, and ran out happily.

Liu De also said to Dian Wei outside the door: "Get ready, get ready, don't bring too many people, it's fine in Liao City!"

Dian Wei said in a low voice, "Obey, my lord!"

When Mrs. Qian heard that Liu Jia was going to go out for a walk with Liu De, she took Liu Jia's hand and gave him instructions for a long time. Only when Liu Jia's head was about to explode, Mrs. Qian let Liu Jia go.

However, besides calling Xu Yong, Liu Jia also invited Cui Xier, bluntly saying that she wanted Sister Xier to accompany her, and of course Liu De had nothing to do.

Xu Yong is the son of Xu Hu. Because Xu Hu died in battle, Liu De thought of Xu Hu's meritorious service, so he raised Xu Yong in the mansion. Dian Wei and Xu Chu trained him in martial arts. Do your best and don't dare to neglect in the slightest.

In addition, Tan Zheng and others taught characters, and he himself often went to the school for exams. What Liu De hoped most was that Xu Yong would wait for the veterans to grow old in the future, and these young generals could hold up half the sky.

In addition, Xu Yong can go home to serve his mother every two days, and he has fulfilled his filial piety.

After Liu De left, someone told Xi Qiu that Liu De was going out, and let Xi Qiu have a good time in the house, and it took a long time before it stopped.

Liu Jia bouncingly pulled Liu De to run forward, and Liu De had no choice but to follow behind Liu Jia. Fortunately, Liu Jia was still young and lacked stamina. After running for a while, he became tired and changed to a slow walk. Yes, this made Liu De feel at ease, at least he wouldn't lose his image as the protagonist.

"This street is still quite lively!"

Liu De looked around. As the master of Yizhou, he was either on the expedition or on the way to the expedition. Liu De really didn't have time to wander around like ordinary people.

Cui Xi'er looked at Liu De, who was shaking his head and foolishly, and smiled lightly: "As the capital of Yanzhou, if there is no war, of course it will be very lively!"

Liu De glanced at Cui Xi'er, this girl who has been with 'myself' since she was very young, she is incomparable to Chen Ying and Li Lan, but she is still pure and lovely, never complained to Liu De, and worked hard.

But because Liu De has been busy fighting, he hasn't been out with Xi'er for a long time.

"Moved from Dongyu, are you still used to it?" Liu De asked.

Cui Xi'er raised her small face, thought for a while and said: "It's okay! Liaocheng is bigger than Dongyu, with more people and more novelty things. At the beginning, I went shopping with my wife, and my eyes were blurred! Well, madam likes to be quiet, so less people come out."

"Second uncle, I want to eat this!"

Liu Jia who ran to the front interrupted Liu De who was about to speak, pointing to the caramel shop.

"Buy! Buy! Lao Dian, go and pay!"

Liu De greets Dian Weidao.

Of course, the peddler who sold the caramel could see Liu De's dignity, carefully wrapped up the caramel, and handed it to Dian Wei. Dian Wei's vicious appearance really frightened the peddler, and he didn't even dare to look up.

Dian Wei mentioned the caramel, dropped the copper coin, and left.

The peddler wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said straightly: "This big guy looks really scary, and he is so strong!"

Beside him was the peddler's wife, who was also tall and thick, and she poked her boss vigorously, and said, "Don't you think that young man looks familiar? And there are two big men beside him?"

Only then did the peddler suddenly realize, "That girl looks familiar to me, she's from the general's residence."

The peddler's eyes widened in an instant, and he yelled, "I'm really blind, that's a nobleman!"

"Okay, what are you calling me! Do your job well!"

The peddler's wife said dissatisfied.

"My lord, there is a large group of people gathered in front, what are they doing?" Dian Wei said to Liu De.

"Second Uncle, I want to see!" Liu Jia took Liu De's hand and moved forward vigorously. Liu Jia is not like Qian Shi in this respect. Qian Shi likes to be quiet, while Liu Jia prefers to be lively.

Liu De also vaguely heard the applause coming from the front, and said enthusiastically: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"

Dian Wei nodded at Xu Chu, Xu Chu expressed his understanding, and led the tiger guards to scatter around Liu De, protecting Liu De as tight as possible, and Dian Wei followed Liu De every step of the way.

Che Ying, who was hostile to Liu De, has never been arrested and brought to justice. Although the city gates are being searched strictly, no one is sure whether Che Ying will appear in Liao City, so for Dian Wei, it is better to be careful.

Liu Dela led Liu Jia into the crowd, fixed his eyes, and found that surrounded by the crowd was a platform built of wood, on which two warriors fought fist to fist, flesh to flesh.

What I saw was that the blood of the surrounding people was boiling and they applauded loudly.

Liu De asked the enthusiastic person watching, "What's the matter with this ring?"

The man glanced at Liu De, looked at Liu De's clothes, he looked like a rich man, and said to Liu De: "You're new here!"

Liu De replied, "It's only been two days since I arrived in Liaocheng."

"Let me just say, otherwise, why don't you know about this place?" the man talked eloquently.

Liu De turned to look at Xi'er, and asked, "Do you know the ring here?"

Xi'er shook her head: "I've heard people say it, but I don't care too much about it."

Liu De nodded, and continued to listen to the man's introduction about the arena.

"Let me tell you! Does General Cheqi know? He is a first-class hero in the world!" The man raised his head and said to Liu De, his head was full of words, Liu De's brainless fan!
"Well, well, I know, I know! He is indeed a first-class hero in the world!" What Liu De could do, of course, he looked at the man with a smile on his face and praised him, and then cooperated with his best.

Xi'er pursed her lips, trying not to laugh out loud.

Liu Jia's attention was all on the stage, and he didn't listen to the man's words, otherwise he would definitely reveal his secrets.

"General Cheqi issued a recruiting order a month ago, inviting heroes from all over the world. Let's not talk about Wenju, after all, it is a matter for scholars. Let's talk about this martial arts. As long as you have the courage, you can be under the command of General Cheqi." A Shichang, Bochang, and even a captain, but unfortunately, I don’t know martial arts at all, otherwise I would also sign up!" The man patted his thigh and said with a mournful face.

"Don't dare to talk about the world. Anyway, there are many good guys from Yanzhou. I heard that there are also from Beizhou. This arena was built by the owner of Fugui Casino. If you say that he can be the boss, his vision is high! Although the man is courageous, he is very poor, and it is impossible for you to do illegal activities in the city. One is that the city defense army is not a vegetarian, and the other is that since you are here to take part in the military examination, you come to make trouble, what will the government think? "

"The owner of Fugui Casino set up a ring here. As long as there is a boxing match, there will be rewards, whether you win or lose. It has indeed attracted many people to come here. After only half a month, the place has become completely popular!"

"Because I can make a name for myself here. A few days ago, there was a man who won seven games in a row and was favored by the military. It is said that even if he failed in the martial arts exam, he can still join the army. At least he is a corps leader!"

"More and more people, when they heard about this, came to compete. The boss of the gambling shop also increased the weight. If you win five consecutive victories, you will get ten taels of gold, and if you win ten consecutive victories, you will get 50 taels of gold!"

The more the man talked, the more excited he became, wishing that all the gold was his own.

"Is there a ten-game winning streak?" Liu De asked.

"No, except for the one who won seven games in a row, the others won two or three games in a row!"

Liu De continued to ask: "Why didn't the five-game winning streak continue to fight?"

"I heard that he has to do his best to prepare for the martial arts competition. He is not willing to be just a small corps leader. Anyway, he has already won twelve taels of gold, which must be enough for these two months!" the man replied.

"The owner of the casino is making crazy money!"

"That's for sure. You can bet on every game. I also bought this one for [-] cents! I am optimistic about Thunderbolt Tiger Edong! He has won three games in a row, and the odds are three for one. no problem!"

"Who is Thunderbolt Tiger?" Liu De looked at the stage.

"You can also buy some of that black dress!" the man said to Liu De.

Liu De used his stunt to take a look, and his martial strength is 57. Not to mention, although his martial strength is average, his name is quite bluffing.

Liu De ignored the man's teasing, but asked, "It's just a fist fight, what about weapons?"

"It happened before, but because it hurt people, the government stopped it!"

After Liu De listened, he nodded secretly.

The man said excitedly: "Actually, it doesn't matter. I heard from my neighbor's second aunt's brother's brother-in-law that his fists and kicks are good, and the weapons are as good. After all, fists and feet are the foundation!"

"Your uncle next door is quite knowledgeable." Liu De gave a thumbs up.

"That is!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation. It turned out that it was the ring, and the winner was decided. The Thunderbolt Tiger Edong in black stood on the stage panting.

"Oh oh oh!"

The man beside Liu De opened his arms and shouted excitedly: "I knew that Thunderbolt Tiger would definitely win!"

Liu De: "."
