Peerless Pirates

Lu Hengshan said that Song Zheng was very skilled and wanted to hire him as a teacher in the martial arts academy. When Song Jue heard the first half of the sentence, he thought that his son's murder was known to others, and his expression changed immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the last sentence. He muttered: "This..." Lu Hengshan saw Song Jue's expression changing and said quickly: "When the young master was teaching Quan Zi, I happened to be there, so I learned that Mr. Song was quite skilled in martial arts, so I started to love talents. I don’t dare to delay the young master’s studies, so I can just spare half a day every five days.”

Song Jue said: "It would be okay if we take half a day out of every five days, but..." Song Jue began to look at Song Zheng and asked him what he meant. Song Zheng also understood that this Lu Shoubei initially acted like he was asking for revenge. He looks so polite now, so he originally settled here.

Song Zheng glanced at Yang Tong and saw that he had a smug look on his face, knowing that this was his idea. Brother Yang really didn't want to let him go and tried every possible means to drag him into the military camp. Lu Hengshan was always a treacherous person, so he couldn't deal with this kind of thing. Things naturally fall into place. They are arrogant at the front and respectful at the back. They are both soft and hard, and cannot allow themselves to refuse to agree. It is really hard to shirk this kind of thing. Who knows what other ideas these Qiu Ba will have, what if they use excuses to say something rude to the guard. It's really hard to deal with when trouble comes to your door.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng nodded towards his father. Lu Hengshan looked as steady as Mount Tai and smiled with his beard twisted. It seemed that Song Zheng's reaction had already been calculated in his calculations. Song Zheng felt uncomfortable in his heart and wondered how to make this happen. Mr. Lu, please hold back. This is also thanks to Lu Hengshan's good attitude. If he takes advantage of the situation, Song Zheng might actually use the "arrow comparison" method that he used against Qian Manfu on Lu Hong.

Finally, Lu Hengshan and Song Jue agreed that Song Zheng would go to the martial arts academy to take classes on the afternoon of March 8th every month, and the subject would be close combat boxing (March 8th? Song Zheng was quite speechless about this day). It happened to be the next day On February 18th, 14-year-old Song Zheng took up the post of guest instructor at the Wushu Academy.

When Song Zheng entered the Wei Dynasty, he came to the Wuyuan accompanied by Yang Tong. Naturally, Song Jue asked for leave on his behalf in the Literary Academy. On the way, Yang Tong introduced that there were more than 200 people in the Wuyuan, which was similar to the Literary Academy and was also divided into Three groups, plus one studying "miscellaneous subjects" such as horse breeding and weapon manufacturing. However, these three groups are not divided by age, but by grades. After entering the first year of martial arts school students, they will face various assessments, including Only after reaching a certain score in physical fitness, hand-to-hand combat, weapons, archery, art of war, etc., can you be promoted to the second group, and the same goes for the second group to the third group. Only after the students of the martial arts academy graduate, are they truly qualified "martial arts students". All departments in the state and county Most of the yamen servants are martial arts students. Of course, some martial arts students are not willing to be yamen servants, but look after the homes and nursing homes of some prominent families, and their income is higher than that of yamen servants. In addition, many martial arts students enter the barracks and become corps commanders or even captains. some type of.

Some of the more outstanding martial arts students will take part in the martial arts examination, and if they win, they will be promoted to heaven, and they can be directly awarded to hundreds of households. Of course, those who are in the martial arts examination can also take the Wu Jinshi examination held in the capital. If they win, they will be at the thousand household level. But Wu Jinshi The examination for civil servants is more difficult than that for literary scholars, and only fifty candidates are admitted each year. This has also given up the idea of ​​​​many martial arts scholars, and instead joined the army and made progress based on military merit. Yang Tong was born in martial arts, and later he reached the level of 1,000. At the household level, it is awarded to the general.

The chief instructor of the martial arts academy is concurrently served by Lu Shoubei, and his three assistants take turns serving as deputy chief instructors. In addition, the martial arts academy also has a nominal deputy chief instructor, He Qian, who is responsible for handling some logistical affairs. And this He Qian and Like He Enze mentioned above, they all came from the He family, a prominent family in Mizhou. Since Lu Shoubei was still nominally under the control of Hu Tongxue, the magistrate, Hu Tongxue was responsible for the appointment of the deputy general teacher.

The ordinary instructors in the martial arts academy are all at the hundred-household level in the military, and the number of instructors is not fixed, usually six or seven, each with their own strengths. Yang Tong told Song Zheng that although Lu Shoubei had hired him as a guest instructor, These households were all unconvinced. Especially since Song Zheng was only 14 years old, these households all expressed that they wanted to test him and asked Song Zheng to be mentally prepared. Finally, Yang Tong patted Song Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, Is there nothing wrong with you?"

Song Zheng said: "Brother Yang, these hundreds of families have been in the army for many years. They have rich experience and a solid foundation. They must be good at it. They are much older than me. Is it not a shame for me to lose to them?"

Yang Tong said sternly: "Little brother, you must not think like this. The defense master and I both praise you very much. If you lose too badly, not only will you not be able to stand on your own, but even Mr. Lu's face will be disgraced. Even you You can’t win, but you can’t let them look down on you!”

Song Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Yang, you are pushing me into the fire pit!"

The two of them were talking and came to a courtyard in the middle of the martial arts academy. After Song Zheng entered the room, he saw five people sitting scattered inside. Three of them were very strong, slightly inferior to Yang Tong, and of the other two, one was only slightly stronger than Song Zheng. He was one inch taller but had a very well-proportioned figure. The other one was actually an old man, dressed as a scholar. Although he was taller, he was thinner and only a little fatter than the money in Songjiazhuang. When the five people saw Yang Tong and Song Zheng come in, they all stood up. Except for the old man who said something to Yang Qiango, the other four people all clasped their fists and said nothing. After Yang Tong introduced the three big men, they were Su Kun, Yun Li, and Chu Hongwu. The one who was slightly taller than Song Zheng was called Di Jie, and the old man It was the other vice president, He Qian.

Before Yang Tong could introduce Song Zheng, except for He Qian, the other four people actually turned around and sat down again. Chu Hongwu said without raising his head: "Get a hairy kid to be your instructor. His thighs are not as thick as my arms. Lord Guard, this time I made a mistake."

At this time, Yang Tong didn't even speak. Instead, he walked to the side and looked at Song Zheng with a smile, as if he was watching the fun. Song Zheng secretly cursed, "You Yang Tong, lead me here." It would be too unloyal to just ignore it. But he also knew that the test was coming.

Song Zheng ignored Chu Hongwu, and instead walked to the old man who was farthest away. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Congratulations, Mr. Song Zheng is so polite." The old man was stunned for a moment and then returned the salute: "Young Master Song is so polite."

Song Zheng continued: "I heard from Brother Yang that Mr. He also joined the army when he was young, and later became a literary scholar, and he was still one of the best. Although Mr. Jinguan is dressed as a scholar, he has a heroic spirit. No wonder he can be taught by the deputy general. The position and prestige must be extraordinary."

Speaking of which, the prefect Hu Tongxue and the garrison Lu Hengshan did not get along very well. The position of deputy chief instructor had been replaced by many people before, but they all left because they could not stand the group of soldiers and bandits. Only He Qian had served in the army and came from the prominent He family. , coupled with the fact that he is an old man, he can barely get along with these tough soldiers. As for his prestige, he can't really talk about it.

Everyone likes to hear good things. He Qian's face became kind and he replied: "Young Master Song is overrated. Your Majesty is a master of Neo-Confucianism and is famous all over the world. Although Young Master Song is young, he is both civilized and military, and his future is limitless."

Song Zheng said: "Where is it? Mr. He is always strong and strong. As the saying goes, 'the roots become stronger with age, and the sun shines brighter and the leaves grow darker'..."

This guy actually started chatting with He Qian, which made everyone behind him angry. Even Yang Tong couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Song Zheng was selling in his gourd. Chu Hongwu immediately interrupted: "Baby boy, you didn't listen. Do you want me to speak?"

Song Zheng paused for a while and continued to recite the poem to He Qian: "Wei Wu said: 'The old man is in the dark, and his ambition is thousands of miles; the martyr is in his old age, and his ambition is endless.' This is what he said to sincerely congratulate Mr. Zang Ke. There is also a poem from Zang Ke's family: "Old Niu It is also understood that time is valuable, and you can work hard without waiting for the whip to be raised..."

Chu Hongwu couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up immediately and grabbed Song Zheng. Not only him, but the other three were also so angry that they had never seen such an arrogant boy! However, after they stood up, Seeing Chu Hongwu take action, he sat back down again.

Although Song Zheng was talking nonsense, he kept paying attention to the movement behind him and turned around when he heard the sound of the stool. At this time, Chu Hongwu's hand was still three feet away from him. Song Zheng quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed it with his backhand. Yang Tong looked at the opponent's wrist and thought to himself, Chu Hongwu is finished, and the little brother did it again. Even he suffered a loss once, let alone Chu Hongwu. I hope the other three guys will pay attention and can tell the little brother. Brothers are truly worth their weight in gold.

Sure enough, Chu Hongwu groaned in pain, his body turned half a circle with the twisting force from his arm, and fell to the ground. The three instructors who had just sat down stood up again in shock. They knew Chu Hongwu's skills, although He was the worst among the few, but he was only a little short of it. But now he was defeated so easily by the young man, which was beyond their expectation.

Chu Hongwu got up, shook his red and swollen wrist, and stood there glaring at Song Zheng, but he no longer dared to take action at will. He didn't know the secret of twisting hands, and was wondering where the other's small arms and legs came from. Such great strength?

At this time, the three instructors who were still standing looked at each other. Su Kun and Yun Li both raised their chins towards Di Jie. Di Jie nodded and took two steps forward. Yang Tong wanted to tell Song Zheng, Among these people, even though Di Jie was not very handsome, he was the most skilled in close quarters, just a hair behind him. However, he still suppressed this idea. In a duel between masters, only the unknown opponent is the most terrifying. It is the best test of a person's practical skills.

In fact, Yang Tong didn't need to remind Song Zheng that Di Jie was very good at kung fu. Although Di Jie was not tall, he had a well-proportioned body shape, thick shoulders and big hands. He was a very difficult type. Di Jie didn't say anything, and after making a fist, Then he stretched out his right hand, making a gesture of invitation.

Song Zheng also clenched his fists, making the same gesture of invitation. Everyone immediately left the house and came to the yard. Song Zheng and Di Jie stood one foot apart and hugged each other's fists. Yang Tong saw this posture and Someone shouted from the side: "Don't be too harsh." Song Zheng and Di Jie looked at each other and nodded together. (Please add it to your collection, please comment, and please vote.
