Chapter 2 Bullying You as a Young Poor
"The Patriarch."
"The guarding general has a high status, and the governor of the county should respect him three points. I am a martial arts disciple who has not reached the sixth rank of martial arts, and I am not qualified to meet him. How can I provoke him?" Wu Yuan asked rhetorically.
Wu Qiming stared at Wu Yuan, trying to get some clues from Wu Yuan's eyes.
Unfortunately, all he can see is peace.
"Then why, General Xu suddenly invited me to a banquet tonight? He also instructed me to bring you along?" Wu Qiming asked why.
Wu Yuan immediately understood.
The four giants of Licheng County, the county guard, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the guarding general.
The first three are headed by the county guard, who controls the power to leave the city, and the guarding general seems unable to intervene in local affairs, but the absolute force possessed by the commander of the 600 Nanmeng Army makes the county guard unwilling to conflict with him.
Such a big man would usually only invite the top ten top families in the city to hold a private banquet.
The Wu family? Not even the top 100 families!
Naturally, Wu Qiming thought that Wu Yuan had offended the guarding general, otherwise, how could he be invited suddenly?
"Patriarch, if you insist on getting me and General Xu involved, it's nothing more than a big contest between me and Xu Yuanhan..." Wu Yuan said lightly, and quickly expressed his 'grievance' with Xu Yuanhan.
Actually, there is no 'complaint' between the two, and there was little intersection in the past.
but.
There is only one quota for entering the Yunwu Temple in each county martial arts academy a year!
This is a conflict of interests.
"Yunwu Temple? Number one in the competition?" Wu Qiming was so shrewd that he was able to secure the position of patriarch, and he figured out the cause and effect in a single thought.
With the ability to guard the general, sending his son into the Hengyun Sect is a piece of cake!
But ordinary sect disciples, how can they be compared with 'Yunwu Palace disciples'?
As the top martial arts school of the sect, the various resources and martial arts secret books that disciples of Yunwu Temple can obtain are ten times that of ordinary disciples.
"Wu Yuan, you will come to the banquet with me later, no matter what the situation is, don't act rashly without my signal." Wu Qiming said in a low voice: "Do you understand?"
"Patriarch, I know." Wu Yuan smiled and said: "The guarding general, I can't afford to offend, our Wu family can't afford to offend, for my mother and sister, for the family, no matter how big the grievance is, I will endure it."
Guarding general? How could Wu Yuan care if it was at the peak of his previous life!
only.
The situation is stronger than people, no matter how good Wu Yuan's martial arts skills are, he can't beat a fourth-rank master by surpassing the difference in physical strength dozens of times.
So, when the strength is not enough, you should endure, you have to endure.
What's more, Wu Yuan has to worry about the safety of his relatives.
"Wu Yuan, you don't have to worry too much. There are so many involved in the martial arts competition, General Xu may not dare to intervene." Wu Qiming said softly: "Maybe it's something else to invite us to the banquet."
Wu Yuan nodded without rebuttal.
Other things?
The possibility is too small!
"Let's go, don't be too late." Wu Qiming motioned to the coachman not far away, and slowly drove the carriage to him.
Hoo!
Wu Yuan tapped his toes and jumped into the carriage.
With a trace of worry on his face, Wu Qiming boarded the carriage step by step along the stool. As the head of the clan, he had to maintain his proper demeanor.
…
Xu Mansion is magnificent and brightly lit.
As a low-status guest, Wu Qiming brought Wu Yuan to arrive early on his own initiative, and did not make things difficult as expected. The butler of the Xu Mansion politely led them to the last table, served tea and cakes.
Time passed, guests came and went like a cloud, and important people who were rarely seen in Licheng arrived one after another.
at last.
Even the county guard and the county magistrate came, and General Xu also greeted him personally.
This banquet allowed Wu Yuan to truly see the level of the 'high society' in this world.
The dance music is overwhelming, but the singer is charming but not charming.
All kinds of delicacies that are hard to see on the street on weekdays are also continuously presented.
Such a luxurious and lavish banquet, even Wu Qiming, who is the patriarch, felt a little restrained, beyond his imagination, even if the annual celebration of the Wu Patriarch clan is not as good as today.
However, Wu Yuan didn't care too much.
As time goes by, Wu Yuan becomes more and more drowsy, because in his previous life, he had seen dance music that was a hundred times more exquisite, and had participated in banquets that were ten times more luxurious.
"This world is far superior to the ancient dynasties. This is only a county town, and there are also prefectural cities with a population of several million. However, no matter how luxurious it is, it may not be able to match the supernet celebration formed through the 'Metaverse'." Wu Yuan Sit on the sidelines.
The end of the song.
The banquet lasted until night, Wu Yuan and Wu Qiming finally waited for the butler's separate invitation, and went to the side hall to have a talk.
Both understand, come!
Xu's Mansion covers an area of tens of mu. There are rockery corridors and waterside pavilions around the mansion, but the deeper you go, the simpler the decoration is, and the more you feel like a military formation.
"Patriarch Wu, Mr. Wu, this way please." The gentle-faced "Butler Xu" in purple robe led the two of them.
Enter the side hall.
Different from the hustle and bustle in the front hall, this place is quite quiet.
"Wu Qiming, I've met General Xu and President Zhang." Wu Qiming first saluted respectfully, then stood up and bowed slightly.
Wu Yuan followed suit.
The only thing that surprised Wu Yuan was that the president of the martial arts academy was here.
"Patriarch Wu is polite, please sit down."
General Xu's voice is like Hong Zhong, he is tall and tall, and his face with Chinese characters is 80% similar to Xu Yuanhan.
Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, that invisible aura was like a beast in Wu Yuan's perception, even more terrifying than the director of the martial arts academy 'Zhang Da' beside him!
Hengyun Zonglu: Only a warrior of the fourth rank or above can serve as the general of the county and town.
Thirteen States of Middle Earth, Ninth Grade Martial Arts!
Ninth, eighth, and seventh ranks are collectively referred to as "samurai", and ordinary people can expect to achieve it by tempering their muscles and bones.
Rank 6 can be called a martial artist, which is considered to have truly stepped into the door of martial arts.
Reaching the level of the fifth rank is a step into the stream, and looking at any place in the world, you can be called a "master of stream"!
As for the fourth-rank warrior?
"When I was at the peak in my previous life, I was afraid that I was not as good as this General Xu in pure physical fitness." This thought flashed in Wu Yuan's mind.
In terms of body, the humans of Middle-earth are much stronger, and a grown man can easily have a thousand pounds of strength.
"I've always heard that there is an 'enlightened' martial arts genius in the Martial Arts Academy this year, and I finally got to see it today." General Xu smiled, his gaze fell on Wu Yuan.
"In front of the general, I dare not call him a genius." Wu Qiming continued.
"Brother Wu, there is no need to be modest. Among the disciples of the martial arts academy I have seen for so many years, Wu Yuan ranks at the top." Zhang Da, an old man in black robe, said with a smile.
"Principal Zhang taught it well." Wu Qiming said.
"The master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual. Without Wu Yuan's own efforts, I can't teach it even if I want to." Dean Zhang laughed.
Wu Qiming listened, becoming more and more puzzled.
Wu Yuan's talent in martial arts is dazzling, it is a fact, especially in the past month or so, the speed of improvement is simply terrifying.
But no matter how high the talent is, it is not the strength. They have never reached the sixth rank of martial arts masters.
Notice.
These two are real martial arts experts!
"General Xu, Dean Zhang." Wu Qiming smiled flatteringly, "I'm afraid Wu Yuan and I were called here for something important, just ask."
He asked straight to the point.
"Okay, then I'll just say it straight." Dean Zhang said with a trace of solemnity on his face: "This year, the Martial Academy Grand Competition will be held soon, and with Wu Yuan's strength, he has a great hope of winning the first place and then being promoted to Yunwu Hall Practice."
"It's just that, now that you enter Yunwu Palace, you will only be an ordinary disciple."
"And next year will be the 300th anniversary of the establishment of my 'Hengyun Sect', which is extremely important to the sect."
"Therefore, I discussed with General Xu and the county guard. I hope that you, Wu Yuan, can give up this year's competition and practice in the Junzong Martial Academy for one more year! After one year, your strength will definitely be stronger than now. It will be the honor of the entire city to enter the Yunwu Hall as the number one in the competition for 'No. 1 in the four prefectures' in the county competition! You will also get more cultivation resources, which is quite suitable for you." Dean Zhang is sincere.
The disciples who are number one in martial arts competitions in various places will compete again after entering the 'Yunwu Palace', which is called the 'Great Competition of Counties'.
The so-called four prefectures refer to the four prefectures under the command of Heng Yunzong.
Winning the first place means that the most outstanding disciples recruited by Yunwu Hall in a year will naturally attract attention, and it is also worth the 300th anniversary of the sect.
Dean Zhang's words sounded grand.
But how could Wu Qiming and Wu Yuan not understand the deep meaning?
Hengyunzong Law: Those who have reached the age of sixteen are not allowed to enter the Yunwu Palace.
Xu Yuanhan is fifteen years old this year.
If it's really just for Wu Yuan's good, why invite two people to the Xu Mansion for a banquet? Why should the guarding general come forward? It should be noted that according to the law, the General's Mansion cannot intervene in the affairs of the Wuyuan.
All of this is just to use the power of the banquet to make Wu Qiming and Wu Yuan feel awed and dare not refuse easily.
"Dean Zhang."
Wu Qiming lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "It's not that Wu Yuan doesn't want to win glory for the martial arts academy, but his family is poor, and my Wu family is also a small family, so it's hard to support him with all my strength. Without external resources, even if I practice in the martial arts academy for a year, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Fighting for the number one place in the Four Mansions, it is better to enter the Yunwu Palace this year, and grow up in the future, it is also my honor to leave the city."
Wu Yuan looked at Wu Qiming in astonishment, how dare the patriarch refuse?
"You don't believe me?" Zhang Da narrowed his eyes slightly, and his breath changed slightly.
Sweat dripped faintly from Wu Qiming's forehead, and he felt as if a tiger was staring at him.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that if you don't advance in martial arts practice, you will retreat. Entering the Yunwu Palace a year later will have a great impact on Wu Yuan." Wu Qiming's heart was broken.
He knew he would be in big trouble if he refused.
But in his heart, Wu Yuan's future is more important!
"The head of the Wu family has far-reaching plans for Wu Yuan, and Xu admires it." General Xu said, with a gentle voice: "However, Wu Yuan wins glory for Licheng, and everyone in Licheng will not ignore Wu Yuan's contribution, and will give five thousand taels of silver as a gift. It will be used for Wu Yuan's cultivation needs for this year."
As he spoke, General Xu glanced aside.
"Crack~" The side door opened, and a servant respectfully presented a large stack of banknotes, each of which was marked 'one hundred taels', and the word 'stars' was stamped on the corner of the banknotes to prevent counterfeiting.
Five thousand taels? Wu Qiming choked for breath!
Wu Yuan's eyes also moved slightly.
The Wu family houses in Licheng add up, if they want to make up such a huge sum of money, they have to sell their properties.
That's a lot of money!
"Wu Yuan, are you willing?" General Xu looked directly at Wu Yuan.
