I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Because he was worried about missing the time to save the general, Qian Ruhai followed what was written in the storybook that day, first led a patrol with his men, and then started to rush back after seeing that the sky was almost dark.

When he reached a forest somewhere by the lake, he stopped.

"We'll rest here for half an hour."

The others did not doubt his presence and followed him in one after another. Then he sat on the ground according to Qian Ruhai's instructions and didn't speak loudly. Qian Ruhai and several riding chiefs also tied their horses to the tree, either closing their eyes and meditating under the tree, or gathering in twos and threes. Talking quietly everywhere.

After half an hour, Qian Ruhai saw no movement, so he ordered to rest for another half hour.

Two quarters of an hour later, when Qian Ruhai didn't tell him to get up and go on his way, the soldiers suddenly became a little commotion, and even Zhang Dadao came over and asked in a lowered voice.

"Ruhai, why don't we go back?"

Qian Ruhai was also a little anxious and looked outside from time to time.

When he was lying under the window sill of the teahouse and eavesdropping on the conversation, he heard the old gentleman say, "Qian Ruhai took people out for patrol. When he came back, he saw a forest by the lake, so he thought of going hunting on the spur of the moment, and ended up hunting a few people." After catching the prey, the neighing of horses and the sound of swords clashing were heard.

The forest is indeed this forest, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But almost an hour passed without waiting for anyone.

Could it be that the time is wrong?

After seeing Zhang Dadao's confused expression, Qian Ruhai was also beating his head in his heart, but he really didn't want to give up this rare opportunity to make a contribution, so he decided to delay for a little longer.

He stood up and said: "Everyone has worked hard today, and we still ate dry food at noon on the road. Since it is rare to come out once, let's go back later. A few people will follow me inside to have a look, and we will hunt a few prey and go back." Extra meals.”

Hearing his words, many people cheered.

"Thank you Centurion for your sympathy!"

"Centurion, take me with you. My archery skills are very good."

"I'm good at catching rabbits and pheasants."

At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves on the road outside the forest.

And there were faint shouts.

"drive!"

"...General...Linzi...protect..."

Qian Ruhai, who was about to choose men to hunt, was shocked, then turned around and ran out of the forest. When he ran to the edge of the woods, he saw several horses running towards this direction in the distance.

The two in front whipped their horses hard and looked back from time to time, showing that they were running for their lives. The seven or eight people behind him were chasing after them fiercely, and the people on horseback kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows, as if they wanted to kill the two people in front of them.

The general was indeed assassinated!

After realizing this, Qian Ruhai was overjoyed.

He immediately shouted over there: "Is this the general in front?"

"My subordinate is Qian Ruhai, the centurion under General Zhou. He is patrolling here with his brothers today. General, please hide in the forest for a while and leave the thieves to my subordinates to deal with."

"Da Dao, let the brothers come out quickly!"

Following Qian Ruhai's order, hundreds of people who were resting in the forest came out in full force. Following Qian Ruhai's command, some of them shot arrows at the horses behind them to block their advance, some mounted their fast horses and detoured to outflank them, while the other dispersed and surrounded them, trying to capture all of them.

Qian Ruhai took a few cronies to greet the general.

The general was a burly man in his fifties. He and another injured soldier had decisively hid in the forest after hearing Qian Ruhai's words.

Now the two of them have got off the horse and are looking at the battle behind with a sullen expression.

Seeing that his people had the situation under control, Qian Ruhai took a deep breath, walked to the two of them and said with surprise and worry: "My subordinate Qian Ruhai has met the general."

The general said: "No courtesy."

Qian Ruhai responded. Then he saw that the soldier behind the general was hit by an arrow and his face was pale, so he said again: "Brother, you are seriously injured. Da Dao, please help him go down and bandage it. General, are you injured?" ?”

The general waved his hand, "No problem."

He looked at the scene over there with swords and arrows flying and shouts of killing constantly, and felt lingering fear in his heart.

After seeing that Qian Ruhai's subordinates had almost killed those who were chasing him, the general turned to look at Qian Ruhai next to him, nodded and said: "You are very good."

Qian Ruhai tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for the compliment."

When the storybook "The Success of Passing the Book to Become Famous" wrote that Qian Ruhai was promoted from a centurion to a fifth-rank garrison general in just one year with the appreciation of the general, Fu Wenyu also set off.

In addition to him, seven or eight other scholars from Liuzhou also received invitations.

However, Jiangzhou is not far from Liuzhou, so they did not go together.

Fu Wenyu went on the road with the village chief's son Fu Minghui. As for Zou Xiucai, who was also from Fujia Village, he did not go with him because he did not receive Ji Xiucai's post.

The cultural meeting was held at Ji's house.

On this day, Fu Wenyu and Fu Minghui got up early, then took a rented carriage and drove all the way to the door of Ji's house. After getting off the carriage, the two of them were led by the butler to a beautiful garden.

There were already more than a dozen people waiting in the garden.

Fu Wenyu had sharp eyes and found that when he was waiting for someone to come over, several people happened to look in their direction. When they saw it was him and Fu Minghui, some even showed disappointed expressions.

Who are you waiting for?

Just as he was thinking about it, Min Xiucai's eyes lit up in the crowd, and he waved to the two of them: "Wen Yu and Minghui, you two uncles and nephews have arrived. Come and sit down quickly."

"Brother Min."

"Min Xiucai."

Fu Wenyu and Fu Minghui both greeted him.

After sitting down, Fu Wenyu asked, "Why haven't you seen Ji Xiucai?"

According to common sense, as the head of the house, Ji Xiucai would either greet guests at the door or stay here to greet them. Fu Wenyu planned to say a few words to him before everyone came, but he saw no one along the way.

"You've asked the right person."

Min Xiucai blinked and said, "I came early. Ji Xiucai was indeed here before, but just now a servant from Ji's house came and called him away, saying that a distinguished guest had arrived."

"Guess who the distinguished guest will be?"

Fu Wenyu didn't know much about the literati in Jiangzhou, so he looked at Fu Minghui next to him.

Fu Minghui thought for a moment and said, "There are five candidates in total in Jiangzhou. Could it be one of them?" Because those who passed the Jinshi examination were either working as officials or not in Jiangzhou, that's why he guessed like this.

"No, no," Min Xiucai shook his head, and then revealed the answer to the mystery for the two of them, "They are from Muda, the magistrate of Jiangzhou. Muda is here, so Ji Xiucai left us behind and hurried to greet them."

"A native of Muda, Zhizhou of Jiangzhou?"

Fu Wenyu suddenly realized, "No wonder when Minghui and I just came in, we found someone looking towards the door, and looked disappointed when we saw it was us two."

"It turns out they thought the people coming in would be Muda people."

No wonder everyone is disappointed.

Min Xiucai laughed, "Yes, everyone thought he was from Da Mu."

Fu Wenyu laughed, and the three of them chatted for a few more words. Then someone called Fu Minghui away. Seeing this, Fu Wenyu also said: "I saw a few acquaintances. Brother Min, I'll excuse you for now, and we'll talk to you later."

Min Xiucai didn't care, "Go ahead."

When Fu Wenyu came back after turning around, there was a movement at the door. It turns out that Mu Zhizhou really came this time, and not only did he come, but also several other officials from Jiangzhou came.

Immediately, the twenty or so scholars present came forward to greet him.

What followed was a period of greetings and introductions. Several officials had different attitudes, but Mu Zhizhou always answered all questions. Therefore, although his expression was serious, he had the most people around him, even after the literary meeting started.
