Chapter 2 Bullying your youth into poverty(1/2)
“Class leader.”
"The status of the garrison general is respected, and the county magistrates should respect him three points. I, a disciple of the Martial Arts Academy who has not even reached the level of the sixth-rank martial arts master, are not qualified to see him. How can I mess with him?" Wu Yuan asked back.
Wu Qiming stared at Wu Yuan, trying to see some clues from Wu Yuan's eyes.
Unfortunately, all he could see was peace.
"Why, General Xu suddenly invited me tonight to hold a banquet? He also instructed me to take you with me?" Wu Qiming came to the reason.
Wu Yuan immediately understood.
The four giants of Licheng County are the county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, and general of the garrison.
The first three are headed by the county magistrates and control the power of Licheng. The garrison general seems to be unable to interfere in local affairs, but the absolute force possessed by the commander of the six hundred Nanmeng Army makes the county magistrates unwilling to conflict with them.
Such big shots usually only invite the top ten families in the city to hold private banquets.
The Wu family? Not even the first hundred families!
Of course, Wu Qiming believed that Wu Yuan had offended the garrison general, otherwise, how could he be suddenly invited?
"Clan leader, I have to involve me and General Xu, it is nothing more than a big battle with Xu Yuanhan..." Wu Yuan spoke lightly and quickly expressed his 'hate' with Xu Yuanhan.
In fact, the two of them have no resentment, and they have rarely had any intersection in the past.
but.
There is only one quota for entering Yunwu Palace in each county’s martial arts court a year!
This is a dispute over interests.
"Yunwu Palace? The first in the competition?" Wu Qiming was so smart that he could firmly sit in the position of patriarch. He could figure out the cause and effect in one thought.
With the ability of a general to guard the army, sending his son into Hengyun Sect is easy!
But how can ordinary disciples of sects be compared with the "Yunwu Palace Disciples"?
As the top martial arts academy of the sect, the various resources that disciples of Yunwu Palace can obtain, and the martial arts secrets are ten times that of ordinary disciples.
"Wu Yuan, you will follow me to the banquet later. No matter what happens, you should not act rashly without my instructions." Wu Qiming said in a low voice: "Do you understand?"
"Class leader, I know." Wu Yuan smiled and said, "I can't afford to offend the general, but our Wu family can't afford to offend the mother, sister, and family. No matter how much grievances I feel, I will endure it."
The General of the Guardian? If it were at its peak in the previous life, how could Wu Yuan care?
only.
The situation is stronger than that of humans. No matter how skilled Wu Yuan’s martial arts skills are, he cannot defeat the fourth-grade master by dozens of times the physical strength gap.
Therefore, when you are not strong enough, you should endure it, and you must endure it.
What's more, Wu Yuan must be concerned about the safety of his relatives.
"Wu Yuan, you don't have to worry too much. The martial arts competition involves many things, so General Xu may not dare to intervene." Wu Qiming said softly: "Please invite us to the banquet, maybe it's something else."
Wu Yuan nodded without refuting.
Other things?
The possibility is too small!
"Let's go, don't arrive too late." Wu Qiming signaled the coachman not far away and slowly drove the carriage in front of him.
call!
Wu Yuan leaped his toes and jumped into the carriage.
Wu Qiming had a hint of worry on his face and climbed the carriage step by step along the bench. As the leader of the clan, he wanted to maintain his demeanor.
...
The Xu Mansion is magnificent and brightly lit.
As a guest with a lower status, Wu Qiming consciously arrived early with Wu Yuan, without any expected difficulties. The Xu family housekeeper politely led them into the last table, served tea and pastries.
As time passes, guests come and go, and the big figures that are rare in the city arrive one after another.
at last.
Even the county magistrate and the county magistrate came, and General Xu also came forward to greet him in person.
This banquet allowed Wu Yuan to truly see the level of the "upper society" in this world.
The dance music is overwhelming, and the singer is charming but not charming.
All kinds of delicacies that are hard to see on the streets are also constantly being presented.
Such a luxurious and varied banquet, even Wu Qiming, who is the patriarch, was a little restrained, which was beyond his imagination. Even the Wu family's head's family's New Year celebration was not as good as today.
However, Wu Yuan didn't care much.
The further he went, Wu Yuan felt a little drowsy, just because he had seen hundreds of times more exquisite dance music in his previous life and had participated in a luxurious banquet that was more than ten times more luxurious.
"This world is far better than ancient dynasties. It is only a county town, and a mansion with a population of millions. However, no matter how luxurious it is, it is probably difficult to resist the supernet celebration formed by the 'Material Universe'." Wu Yuan watched coldly.
The song ends and people part.
The banquet lasted until night, and Wu Yuan and Wu Qiming finally waited for the butler's separate invitation and went to the side room to talk.
Both of them understand, here we come!
The Xu Mansion covers an area of dozens of acres, and the rockery corridors and water pavilions are around the mansion. The deeper it goes, the simpler the decoration is, and the more it feels like a military formation is.
"Captain Wu, Mr. Wu, please come here." "Butler Xu" with a gentle face and a purple robe led the two.
Enter the side hall.
Unlike the hustle and bustle in the veil, it is quite quiet.
"Wu Qiming, pay homage to General Xu and meet Dean Zhang." Wu Qiming saluted respectfully first, then stood up and bowed slightly.
Wu Yuan followed.
The only thing that surprised Wu Yuan was that the President of the Martial Arts Academy was also here.
"Captain Wu, please sit down."
General Xu's voice was like a bell, his body was burly, and his face was 80% similar to Xu Yuanhan's.
Although he was wearing regular clothes, his invisible aura was like a ferocious beast in Wu Yuan's perception, which was even more terrifying than the director of the Martial Arts Academy "Zhang Da" next to him!
Hengyun Sect Rule: Only those with fourth-rank warriors or above can serve as generals of county town garrisons.
The thirteen states of Middle-earth, the ninth grade of martial arts!
The ninth, eighth and seventh grades are collectively called "samurai". Ordinary people are expected to achieve the goal of tempering their muscles and bones.
The sixth grade can be called a martial artist, and it is considered to have truly entered the gate of martial arts.
If you reach the fifth level, you will be able to enter the hall and look at any part of the world, you can be called a "in-class master"!
As for the fourth-grade warrior?
"When I was at the peak of my previous life, my pure physical fitness was probably not as good as General Xu." This thought flashed through Wu Yuan's mind.
In terms of body, humans in Middle-earth are much stronger, and adult men can easily have a thousand pounds of power.
"I have always heard that the Martial Arts Academy has produced a 'open-minded' martial arts genius this year, and finally met today." General Xu smiled and his eyes fell on Wu Yuan.
"In front of the general, I dare not call him a genius." Wu Qiming said in a row.
"Brother Wu doesn't have to be modest. Among the disciples of the Martial Arts Academy I have seen for so many years, Wu Yuan is among the top ones." Zhang Da, an old man in black robe, said with a smile.
"It was taught by Dean Zhang." Wu Qiming said.
"The master leads the door and practices are individuals. Without Wu Yuan's own efforts, I can't teach you even if I want to." Dean Zhang smiled.
Wu Qiming listened and became more and more confused.
It is a fact that Wu Yuan’s martial arts talent is dazzling, especially in the past month, his progress speed is simply terrifying.
But no matter how high his talent is, he is not his strength. He has not reached the sixth-grade martial arts master. He is far from worthy of the dignified general and the president of the Martial Arts Academy praised him one after another!
Note.
These two are real martial arts powerhouses!
"General Xu, President Zhang." Wu Qiming smiled slightly complimentedly: "This time I call Wu Yuan and I to come, I'm afraid there is something important, so I'll give you the order."
He asked straight to the point.
"Okay, then I'll just say it." Dean Zhang had a hint of solemnity on his face: "This year's Martial Arts Academy Competition is about to be held. With Wu Yuan's strength, he has great hope of winning the first place and then being promoted to Yunwu Palace to practice."
"But, now entering Yunwu Palace, I will only be an ordinary disciple."
"Next year will be the three hundred years since the establishment of my 'Hengyun Sect', which is extremely important to the sect."
"So, I discuss with General Xu and the county magistrate. I hope Wu Yuan, you can give up this year's competition and practice in the County Martial Arts Academy for one more year! In a year, your strength will definitely be stronger than you are now, and you are fully expected to compete for the 'Four Prefectures' in the competitions of the county. At that time, entering the Yunwu Palace with the top of the list will be the glory of the entire city! You will also get more cultivation resources, which is quite suitable for you." President Zhang sincerely.
The disciples who are the first in the martial arts academies in various places will compete again after entering the "Yunwu Hall", and are called the "Counties Competition".
The so-called four prefectures refer to the four prefectures that Hengyun Sect once ruled.
To win the first place means that the most outstanding disciples recruited by Yunwu Palace in one year will naturally attract much attention, and it is also worthy of the sect's three hundred years of celebration.
