I'm just a soldier, why should I fight you in a duel?

The weather is getting colder.

The beginning of winter has passed,

and the weather is getting colder.

Due to the heavy snow a few days ago, the mountains were closed, so it was difficult to transport a lot of supplies.

At this moment, Lin'an County is like a lonely city buried in the snowy mountains.

It is getting more and more lonely,

and more and more lifeless.

It is not yet bright,

and the street vendors have not set up their stalls,

but two figures wearing thick fox furs are seen,

talking and laughing all the way towards the Taiping Army Mansion.

One of them has a refined temperament and handsome features.

But for some reason, his lips are blue and his eyes are red, as if he has not slept all night.

The other one wore a black melon-shaped hat on his forehead, had a mustache, and was slightly overweight.

His small eyes were always smiling, and he looked quite cheerful.

Don’t think that this person looks like a stupid young master of a landlord’s family.

Don’t be fooled by his simple and honest appearance.

This person is the manager of Miaobaozhai in Lin’an County.

Zhao Wancai,

Manager Zhao!

If he doesn’t have two brushes in his hands and a ruthless heart in his chest.

How can he stand out from the crowd of Miaobaozhai and become the manager of a county?

He is called a manager,

but in fact he is the general manager of Miaobaozhai in Lin’an County.

Miaobaozhai is responsible for the auction on the surface, but it is also engaged in the business of buying and selling intelligence in secret!

Therefore, this person has a wide range of friends.

From the immortal and martial arts monks and nearby officials of all sizes, to the monks and thieves and peddlers.

There are his "brothers" and friends among them.

Although,

They are all tied together by interests.

But to have such a network of people, Zhao Wancai must have some extraordinary qualities.

"Brother Liu, what exactly does Lord Wei want to tell me?"

Zhao Wancai patted the ice on the fox fur and asked casually.

When he thought about meeting the recently famous Wei Xiaowei soon.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If it was an ordinary government army, he wouldn't be so scared.

After all, a good man has three helpers, and he has someone behind him.

But it's hard to say about Wei Xiaowei...

He dared to go out of the city to kill monsters!

The storytellers in the city's restaurants are almost making him a god.

What tiger monster saw him and offered his long whip to save his life.

What fox monster saw him and turned into a beautiful woman to please him.

Although he knew that these were all rumors.

But it was too damn outrageous!

How can this be called a lieutenant of the imperial army!

Isn't this the king of demons?

If I accidentally anger him, will I have to sacrifice my life...

to survive?

Zhao Wancai couldn't help but shudder, and quickly put away the evil thoughts in his heart.

"Don't think about it!"

"There are three concubines at home waiting for me, Zhao, to favor them!"

Liu Qingshan smiled slightly, and seemed to see the uneasiness in Zhao Wancai's heart.

He patted his back gently and comforted him.

"Relax!"

"Didn't you tell me about the lieutenant of the guard in the letter before?"

"You and I have been friends for so many years! How could Liu hurt you?"

Zhao Wancai's mouth twitched when he heard this, and his heart was bleeding, and he sighed secretly.

It is precisely because of our friendship for many years that I naturally understand that you are unreliable!

That's why I am so worried!

After all, you have been in Kyoto since you were a child.

Why is there no clue in his mind?

Besides, writing is writing, but who wouldn't be scared if he really met him!

...

The two walked to the Taiping Army Mansion and saw that the gate of the courtyard was closed.

Zhao Wancai breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground instantly. He pretended to clap his hands and said depressedly.

"Alas!"

"Brother Liu, this is really a bad timing. Lord Wei is not in the military mansion!"

"Zhao wanted to see the valiant and heroic figure of the Lord!"

"Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable!"

Zhao Wancai squinted his eyes and tried to probe the confused Liu Qingshan.

"How about we visit again another day?"

Although he looked dejected, he was very happy in his heart!

Liu Qingshan suddenly patted his thigh, grabbed the fox fur on his body, and walked towards the training ground.

He said excitedly while walking.

"Today's rest for the government army is over. Lord Wei must be training soldiers in the training ground now!"

"Let's go!"

Sure enough, after the two walked for a while, they soon heard the roars of the soldiers.

"Raise your spear and stab forward!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Raise your shield and block!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Looking at the parade ground,

the many soldiers who were still training despite their red upper skin.

Even Zhao Wancai couldn't help but stop and watch, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable shock in his heart.

He finally understood why the Wei school lieutenant wanted to recruit soldiers again!

Only such a tenacious army is worthy of the two words "peace"!

Zhao Wancai secretly praised Wei Yuan, and his prejudice against Wei Yuan in his heart was reduced.

Now he understood,

why the people and storytellers of Lin'an County admired the government army so much!

It is because of these "desperate" soldiers that Lin'an County is stable!

Looking at the high platform of the parade ground, holding a halberd, with a serious expression.

Wei Yuan, whose upper body was as naked as the soldiers.

Zhao Wancai secretly wiped the sweat from his palm.

Although many of Miaobaozhai's businesses have nothing to do with the government army!

But at this moment, he still wanted to make friends with Wei Yuan!

"Master Wei!"

Liu Qingshan bypassed the soldiers' training area and dragged Zhao Wancai towards Wei Yuan excitedly.

"Look who I brought you?"

Wei Yuan raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, and a smile instantly appeared on his serious face!

Who is here?

Of course it's the God of Wealth!

He laughed loudly and first told Zhang Bao to continue training.

Then, he jumped off the high platform.

He strode towards the two people!

"Is it Zhao Guanshi from Miaobaozhai?"

Wei Yuan handed the halberd to Zhang Biao and changed into the military uniform handed over.

"I've heard of you for a long time!"

"Manager Zhao is so busy, but he can spare some time to visit my Taiping Army Mansion!"

"You really bring honor to me!"

"Zhang Biao, go to Piaoxianglou and order a table of good food and wine. My Lord, I want to host a banquet!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Wancai hurriedly took off his melon-shaped hat upon hearing this, walked forward, bowed and saluted.

"I don't deserve it!"

"I don't deserve it, Wei Xiaowei!"

"Your words really make me feel guilty and ashamed!"

"Today I can see such a heroic figure as Lord Wei who swallows mountains and rivers and shakes the world!"

"It's my blessing!"

Zhao Wancai stamped his feet and clapped his legs excitedly.

"I only regret that Zhao didn't get to know you earlier!"

Wei Yuan's smile froze, and he thought to himself.

Is this guy acting a little too much?

If I, Wei Yuan, could really make people bow down to me as soon as they see me.

Why would I still stay in this small Lin'an County?

His eyes unconsciously looked at Liu Qingshan who was standing there like a wooden chicken.

At this moment, Liu Qingshan seemed to think that his friend changed his face too quickly.

When he first came, he was reluctant in his words.

How come, I really saw him.

He even acted like he regretted not meeting him earlier.

Seeing that Liu Qingshan was hesitant to speak, Wei Yuan could only smile awkwardly and put his arm around Zhao Wancai's shoulders.

"Okay, okay, let's talk while we eat!"
