Zhang Bu was willing to leave. After hearing what Guo Mo said, he immediately replied: "Because we are all talents trained by the imperial court, at this time, we should face the difficulties and solve the problems for the imperial court."
These students can just talk nonsense. Guo Mo cursed in his heart, but he refused to allow them to go up. Zhang Bu saw that the other party was difficult to deal with, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he said: "Sergeant, I just heard about an urgent military matter, which is related to His Royal Highness King Zhao. I want to report it to the school captain Mr. Pei."
"Oh." Guo Mo narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and stared into Zhang Bu's eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. "This guy is definitely lying, but I don't know why he wants to go up there? Is he on the side of King Zhao or Empress Jia?" Countless thoughts flashed through Guo Mo's mind at this moment.
Zhang Bu felt worried when he saw the other party staring at him like that, as if his tiger eyes were trying to see through him. But on the surface, he remained calm and stared at the other person without showing any signs of weakness.
If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. Zhang Bu had no way out.
Suddenly, he looked at Guo Mo opposite and laughed, turned to the soldiers beside him and said: "Hou San, you put these meat and wine into the storage room first. People are kind-hearted, and we have to lead them when we work with our heads up. Such kindness."
Hou San was already drooling as he looked at the meat and wine behind Zhang Bu. His heart felt like it was being scratched by a monkey. Standing next to Guo Mo, he kept scratching his ears and cheeks. He wanted to rush up and snatch the meat and wine from those people's hands. When he heard that Guo Mo agreed, he shouted excitedly and immediately took the meat and wine from the students of Hongdu College with big smiles and big smiles from everyone accompanying him.
"In the current war, anyone who drinks alcohol without permission will be killed!" Guo Mo said coldly, "Hou San, don't forget the military regulations."
Hou San and others who were in high spirits immediately lost their smiles when they heard Guo Mo's words. Hou San smiled and said: "Brother, I'm from Hou Sansheng. After this battle, let's have a good time. Let's go, it's not too fast." move."
"Since you have urgent military affairs, I will take you up." Guo Mo said to Zhang Bu, "But you can only follow me up."
"Am I alone?" Zhang Bu couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face when he heard the other party's words. He immediately realized something was wrong, his heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go up alone. Just wait for me here for a while."
Fuck, a real man should not eat for Wuding, but cook for Wuding.
At this moment, Zhang Bu felt no regrets in his heart; at this moment, Zhang Bu felt absolutely absolute in his heart.
At this moment, Guo Mo felt some respect for the so-called Hongdu Three Heroes who were still students. He had already determined in his heart that the other party was definitely from King Zhao's group. He originally didn't want to be troublesome, and if these people turned around and left, he wouldn't do anything to stop them. But the other party actually wanted to break into the tiger's den alone. Regardless of the difference in stance, just speaking of his courage is admirable.
"This man is a good man." Guo Mo praised in his heart, "Let's see if we can avoid hurting his life. These days, there are fewer and fewer good men who can completely disregard their own life and death."
The two of them followed the steps of the city wall step by step to the top of the city wall. City Gate Captain Pei Zheng turned around and saw them. He immediately noticed Zhang Bu and the human head he was holding, and couldn't help but frown.
"Guo Mo, who is this person? What is he doing here?"
"Captain," Guo Mo cupped his fists and said, "This man is Zhang Bu, a student of Hongdu College and one of the Three Heroes of Hongdu. He said that he killed a man below who wanted to lead the army into the city, and He said that he knew something about the military affairs of King Zhao, so the villain did not dare to neglect, so he brought him to the captain."
"Oh, you are that Zhang Bu." Pei Zheng took a few steps forward, looked at Zhang Bu with interest, then looked at the head whose face had long been blurred, and frowned again, "Kill this person if you want." After killing him, he also ruined his face, Zhang Bu, do you think this is appropriate?"
"Those who plot rebellion will be punished by everyone." Zhang Bu replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "As for whether the face is ruined or not, this is just a small matter, and it is not enough for the captain to say."
Pei Zheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard his answer. He looked at Zhang Bu with more and more interest, "He is indeed one of the legendary three heroes of Hongdu who are famous in Shangluo. There are really no empty ones under his fame. Zhang Bu , I wonder if you would be interested in working under me in the future? I, Mr. Pei, will definitely not treat you badly."
At this moment, Pei Zheng started to love talents again, and immediately invited him.
When Zhang Bu heard Pei Zheng's words, his heart was moved even though he had ambitions.
Among the high-ranking official positions, although the rank of captains is generally not high, there are two exceptions.
The first is the famous Captain Sili. The Jin Dynasty clearly stipulates that outside Duanmen, the position of Sili Xiaowei is above that of Jiuqing. In the palace, the rank of Sili Xiaowei was just below that of Jiu Qing. In the past dynasties, non-famous ministers were not allowed to hold the position of chief lieutenant. It was one of the most core official positions in the empire.
The second one is naturally the captain of Shangluo City Gate. This city gate captain has been famous throughout the ages, and his name has been written down in history.
"If you, Lord Pei, had invited me like this in the past, I, Zhang Bu, would naturally be filled with joy and wish I could join your service right away." Zhang Bu thought to himself, "It's a pity that today is no better than before. Either you will die today or I will." Death, I, Zhang Bu, cannot accept your kindness from Mr. Pei."
"Zhang Bu is too embarrassed to deserve the kind words of the captain."
"Oh," Pei Zheng said with a smile, "With your ability and talent, you certainly deserve it."
"The reason Zhang Bu doesn't dare to be a captain is not because of my ability, but because of my status as a captain." Before Zhang Bu finished speaking, he threw the human head in his left hand towards Pei Zheng with one hand. At the same time, his spiritual power was running at full speed, and a pair of arms In the blink of an eye, he became much stronger. He raised the long sword in his hand and struck Pei Zheng on the head. He continued, "Your Excellency is Queen Jia who rebels against the party. Zhang Bu will kill you with the long sword in his hand today."
The incident happened suddenly. Everyone on the city wall saw that Zhang Bu was talking so well and suddenly wanted to kill someone. For a moment, there was silence and everyone stood on the spot.
Zhang Bu's sword slashed at Pei Zheng with no return, full of momentum.
Since his sword duel with Wang Tianci, his understanding of swordsmanship has reached a new level. When it comes to real fighting, the killing techniques are all these basic sword skills. Those fancy swordsmanship can confuse many beginners of swordsmanship, and can tease many swordsmanship rookies, but in the eyes of real masters, in a life-and-death fight, tricks are a huge waste and loophole.
When he slashed out this sword, there were no distracting thoughts in his mind. He didn't want to think about what would happen if he failed. He just knew that this was the best opportunity to assassinate the opponent. There was only one thought in his mind at this time, and that was to chop off the opponent's head.
His sword was full of power, and the sword light on his long sword was condensed and not dispersed, waiting to burst out at the last moment. He firmly believed that with his strength and cultivation, no protection on armor could withstand it.
Pei Zheng did not expect that the other party would suddenly launch an assassination. As a member of the Pei family in Hedong, as a high-ranking sect in the Jin Dynasty, and a noble among the nobles, Pei Zheng was educated from an early age to be polite, well behaved, personable, and to be loyal and filial. There were disputes and fights between nobles, and in most cases, they had to have one-on-one fair duels in the presence of a third party. Winning or losing is indeed important, but for the nobles of the Jin Dynasty, demeanor is even more important. Because this affects the final evaluation.
The nine-level Zhongzheng system: family background, character, and cultivation.
Character comes before cultivation.
Pei Zheng always believed that the person who came up with this system and formulated it was a genius, a great genius. Since the late Shang Dynasty, the noble families began to rise. In the post-Shang Dynasty, the noble families finally and irreversibly occupied the central stage of history. But how to manage these so many high-ranking children from aristocratic families who have never appeared before?
The reason why the world was in chaos in the late Shang Dynasty was superficially because Emperor Huan of Shang and Emperor Shang Ling sought death, but the underlying reason was that the family education Pei Zheng received since childhood was that it was actually the disordered competition among the children of aristocratic families that caused the chaos in the late Shang Dynasty. . It was not until the period of Emperor Wen of the Great Zhou Dynasty that the famous minister Xun Qun creatively created the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System to constrain the behavioral norms of the children of aristocratic families. Since then, the behavior of the children of each family has obviously become much more regulated, and the high-ranking families also have a high evaluation of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System.
Whether you are sincere or just acting, you must also show a polite, modest and prudent style, and you must show your ambition to pursue world unity rather than love money and sex. Otherwise, in the evaluation of these states and counties, their character alone would be considered inferior.
What is Pei Zheng's background? In addition to having to interact with a large number of monks from poor families in his official duties as captain of the city gate, the people he interacts with on weekdays are really rich and noble disciples from high families. These high-ranking disciples interact with each other, and everyone strictly abides by the rules brought by the nine-level Zhongzheng system. And the rules must be followed and the rules must be followed. There are hundreds of kinds of character, but those who do not follow the rules will always be at the top of the list.
In the past, those monks from poor families looked at Pei Zheng with their eyes full of envy, inferiority, and flattery, but absolutely no monks from poor families would rise up after learning that he was from the Pei family in Hedong.
Even those thieves in the mountains who make a living by looting have an unwritten rule, that is, people from high-ranking families are not allowed to loot.
Behind the scenes, there are actually three words: untouchable.
Almost all the monks of the Jin Dynasty are well aware of the great strength and huge influence of these high-ranking families. As long as you still plan to hang out in this society, you must not offend these high-ranking families.
Therefore, Pei Zheng was not alert at all before Zhang Bu suddenly jumped up and waved his sword to look at Pei Zheng. According to the past practice, based on his own background and his status as the captain of the Luocheng Gate, when he said those words of solicitation, the other party, a young man from a poor family, although he was not moved to bow his head and bowed down, he was definitely excited and moved to tears with gratitude. . I never thought that there would be someone like Zhang Bu who acted unconventionally.
For a moment, Pei Zheng, a dignified fourth-grade monk, was so shocked that he had no response except subconsciously turning his head to avoid the head that was hitting him. He didn't dodge, he didn't raise his sword to resist, and he didn't even turn on the protective talisman on his armor.
He was completely confused.
When did a poor man dare to attack a monk from a high-ranking family?
Zhang Buren was in the air and saw the stunned but motionless look on the other side's face. He was overjoyed and said, "The family members are really just big straw bags with embroidered pillows. I thought it would be so difficult to assassinate this person, but I didn't expect it to be so easy."
"Dang." There was a loud sound, and a thick-backed broadsword stabbed out diagonally and struck his long sword, splitting open the sword he was bound to win. At the same time, the huge force coming from the broadsword almost knocked the sword out of Zhang Bu's hand.
But it was Guo Mo, who had been standing by, who took action in time.
Ever since Zhang Bu came up to face Pei Zheng, Guo Mo had been observing Zhang Bu's movements. But he never expected that Zhang Bu, who came from a poor family, would dare to rise up and assassinate Pei Zheng in public.
That was the dignified Lord Colonel of the City Gate.
That was a member of the dignified Hedong Pei family.
That was a member of the most elite family in the Jin Dynasty.
Guo Mo never thought that one day he would become an enemy of this noble family. All he ever thought about was to see if the smoke came out of his ancestral grave one day, which noble man would support him, and then return to his hometown with the title of Marquis. This is Guo Mo's greatest ambition, and this is the most beautiful thing in the world that Guo Mo can imagine.
Although Zhang Bu's sudden attack was blocked by Guo Mo with a knife, Guo Mo felt like there was a storm in his heart. It was not Zhang Bu's skill that caused the storm, but Zhang Bu's behavior as a bachelor. But now it was too late for him to reflect on the shock and change that Zhang Bu's stabbing had brought to him. Zhang Bu on the opposite side swung his sword again after the sword was deflected, and still stabbed Pei Zheng in front of him. Zhang's blood-stained face looked so ferocious at this time.
"My lord, get out of the way." Guo Mo shouted, waving the thick-backed sword in his hand to block Pei Zheng.
Both of them were using their spiritual energy at this time, and there was no trickery in their attacks. They were both heading towards the fatal point of the other party. This life-and-death fight is not just a showdown in the back garden. If you don't pay attention at all, you will end up with your head on the ground.
Just listen to the sound of "clinking, clanging" swords clashing, interspersed with the sound of two people roaring like wild beasts. The energy is filled, and the fire spiritual power and golden spiritual power are flying everywhere, making everyone around them have to retreat. To avoid its sharp edge.
The more Zhang Bu fought, the more his heart grew colder.
Not only was the strength of this inconspicuous sergeant on the other side not inferior to him, but he was steadily surpassing him. Not only that, this man is full of strength, and his moves are also very sophisticated and ruthless. The big knife in his hand can be used to chop, chip, block or knock. The blade, back and even the handle are all useful, and his moves are all exquisite.
If he encountered such a well-matched opponent on a normal day, Zhang Bu would be able to muster up his courage and fight with his opponent for hundreds and eighty times to fight it out. But in today's situation, even if the opponent is not as good as himself, he has completely lost the chance to assassinate Pei Zheng. What's more, after these few moves, the opponent has overcome the disadvantage of hastily responding at the beginning, and is fighting evenly with him.
