When Wang Cheng returned to the inn, his apprentice Wang Kaile was still asleep. He didn't know what he had dreamed about, and his face was full of tears.
After putting the thin quilt back on, he came to the table and started to prepare something.
Now that his identity has been determined as a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, he must fully confirm his identity.
There is currently no "Iron Sword Sect" in the world, which makes it easier to operate. Because there is no "Iron Sword Sect", he can create one by himself.
The first thing he thought of was Yang Si. That boy had now escaped from Tiandu Mansion and returned to Sanchuan County. What he had to do was to ask Yang Si to find a remote mountain, set up a mountain gate, and then spread the name "Iron Sword Sect" to a small area.
For this kind of thing, he believed that Yang Si would be able to handle it well. Deceiving people was Yang Si's specialty.
In the letter, in addition to explaining these things, Wang Cheng also specially drew the style of the sect's identity token.
The shape is the same as other tokens, with an iron sword engraved on one side and a name on the other.
After doing this, it was already bright.
Wang Kaile rolled up on the bed, jumped out of bed and ran to Wang Cheng, hugged him tightly, and cried: "Master, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
"Silly boy, you are my apprentice, how could I not want you?" Wang Cheng said, stroking his head.
Compared with a certain teacher, he felt that his master was very competent, at least he would not leave his apprentice alone for such a long time.
However, the placement of his apprentice Wang Kaile is indeed a problem. He is now a military Sima and must enter the military camp. However, the military camp is no different from other places and is absolutely not allowed to take an eight or nine-year-old child with him.
After thinking about it, he made some calculations in his mind, and then took Wang Kaile out of the inn.
After last night's riot, Ma Tou Town was not as deserted as imagined, but still as lively as before.
Because the horses that were lost were those of wealthy businessmen, not those of these hawkers. On the contrary, because the horses at the racecourse were lost, their business became better.
There were cries of horses being sold everywhere, and many people even announced to their faces that all the horses from the big families had run away, and that the horses in their hands were the few remaining in Ma Tou Town.
Wang Cheng took Wang Kaile to a mutton soup shop, had something to eat, and then went to the blacksmith shop and punched a few Iron Sword Sect identity tokens on the spot.
Then, he went to the inn again and sent out the letter and Yang Si's identity token.
Because Ma Tou Town is the largest trading market for horses in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are many escort agencies and inns related to "logistics", which can even be described as developed.
Wang Cheng chose a fast inn, it was just a matter of paying more money.
For most people, anything that can be solved with money is a real thing, but for him, money is really not a thing. He has a lot of acceptance notes from Chase Bank in his hand, which is a sum of money. Astronomical numbers.
There is a branch of Datong Bank in Ma Tou Town, where gold and silver can be exchanged at any time.
Walking on the street, Wang Kaile held Wang Cheng's hand tightly and said, "Master, when will we return to the Iron Sword Sect?"
He has asked this question many times, but he is still afraid that Wang Cheng will leave him behind.
Wang Cheng shook his head and said to Wang Kaile: "The master is going back to the military camp, but it's not that he won't come back. Don't worry, the master will find a place for you to live."
Seeing that Wang Kaile was not in a high mood, he promised: "Master promises you to come back at least once a month! You are the master's apprentice, and the master will teach you martial arts so that you will never be bullied again!"
Wang Kaile raised his dark little face and nodded heavily.
So the master and the apprentice went to the dental shop again and asked someone to buy two maids and a secluded courtyard.
The small courtyard is located in the northwest corner of Matou Town, near the foot of a hill. It is very quiet, and the mountain breeze blows from time to time. The air is not filled with the smell of horse, cattle and sheep urine like in Matou Town.
The yard is similar to a farmyard, with two rooms, one is a place for cooking and storing sundries, and the other is a living room and bedroom.
Wang Cheng called the two maids to him. They were frightened by the wounds on Wang Cheng's eyebrows and face. They lowered their heads and trembled, not daring to look.
This suited Wang Cheng's wishes. He was most worried that the two maids would bully Wang Kaile when he was away.
Of course, in this feudal era, this possibility is very low, because according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, slaves who bully their masters will be killed according to the law.
"Don't be afraid!"
Wang Cheng tried his best to use a gentle tone, but the two maids still did not dare to raise their heads.
He knew that it would be difficult to change the two people's sense of him for a while, so he said: "Are you Xiaohong? Are you Xiaolu?"
The tall maid named Xiao Hong nodded first, and then Xiao Lu, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old and was weak in culture, nodded.
"What kind of stupid name is this?"
Wang Cheng complained in his heart, but of course he couldn't say it out loud.
He thought for a while and said: "Remember, when you enter this door, forget all the unpleasant past. The past is the past, and the future should be new."
Then he said to Xiaohong and Xiaolu respectively: "From now on, your name will be Hongzhu and Luyu."
The two maids secretly glanced at each other. Although they didn't know the meaning of these two names, they did sound much better than Xiaohong and Xiaolu.
Wang Cheng added: "I don't have any rules here. You can treat this place as your own home. In the future, when you are old enough and have saved enough money, you can find someone to marry."
When the two heard this, they looked confused.
They have heard too many cases of maids being bullied by their masters, and they have also seen their masters beating maids to death. Does something like what Wang Cheng said really exist?
Sure enough, the two of them heard Wang Cheng say again: "However, the premise is that you must take good care of my apprentice. If anything goes wrong with him, you are the only one to ask!"
"Plop!"
The two of them were so frightened that they fell to their knees, their heads banging on the ground, and they kept saying "don't dare".
"Everyone get up!"
Wang Cheng knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved, so he asked the two of them to stand up, and then said: "There are two things you need to do now. Hongzhu, you are old, go buy two bathtubs on the street, and then give me this Disciple, buy some suitable clothes, and also buy some new clothes for yourselves, as well as mattresses and the like."
"Lvyu, I have a prescription here. Take my prescription and go to Baozhitang to buy the medicinal materials above. Also buy some food such as firewood, rice, oil and salt."
He took out two ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to them, and then handed the prescription to Lu Yu.
After the two maids left, he pulled Wang Kaile to his side again and gave him some instructions.
It's just about how to get along with the two maids. Don't be afraid of them, listen to them in everything, and don't think about bullying them. After all, the days are still long.
More than an hour later, Hongzhu and Luyu came back with their purchases.
The performance of the two did not exceed Wang Cheng's expectations.
Hongzhu came with Xiaosi, and everything was on the flatbed truck pulled by Xiaosi.
Lu Yu was still alone, holding medicinal materials in her left hand and rice and noodles in her right hand. There were so many things hanging on her small body that she even shed tears from exhaustion.
Wang Cheng immediately figured out the temperaments of the two maids. Hongzhu looked smarter and organized, and was suitable for being a housekeeper, while Luyu was more cautious and suitable for arranging some private things for him.
He asked Hongzhu to go to the kitchen to boil water, then pulled Luyu aside and told him how to prepare and decoct the medicine.
After admonishing him twice more, he personally gave Lu Yu a demonstration and asked Lu Yu to operate it twice more.
Green Jade did not disappoint him either. He was still a little unfamiliar the first time, but he was able to cook medicine by himself the second time.
"Master, why are you boiling medicine?" Wang Kaile squatted aside and asked curiously.
Wang Cheng touched his head and said: "You are too weak now and are not suitable for martial arts training yet. The medicine prepared by the master is just for you. When you have recovered your body, the master will teach you martial arts."
When Wang Kaile heard that it would take some time to practice martial arts, his face immediately fell.
Naturally, his little thoughts could not be hidden from Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Do you really think you don't have to do anything? From today on, you must run around the trail near the back mountain morning and night. The master has seen it, The round trip is ten miles, so you can run a little slower this month, but starting from next month, you must complete it according to the time I set each time. If you can't do it, you will be punished by missing one meal."
"greenstone!"
He then told Luzhu: "You must follow him and supervise him every day. You must not run less once, otherwise I will punish you as well!"
Lu Yu was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, pursed her lips, and nodded solemnly in response.
After settling Wang Kaile, Wang Cheng rushed to the camp outside the city with peace of mind. Of course, he took the bloody horse with him when he left.
The camp was built at the foot of a mountain to the west of Matou Town. Because there were many deer living in the mountain, the mountain was called "Lushan" by the locals, and the camp was also called "Lushan Camp".
This was the first time Wang Cheng saw a military camp with ten thousand people. It was far more shocking than what he saw on TV.
Yes, as Jianwei Zhonglang General, Zhu Bangguo led thousands of troops, and the number would increase again during wartime.
Of course, when wartime comes, Zhu Bangguo's position will also be promoted, and he will truly receive the title of general, such as General Jianwei.
Although General Jianwei was just a general with a miscellaneous title, his authority was greater than that of General Zhonglang, because this general title meant that Zhu Bangguo could lead the troops in battle alone, instead of being able to passively defend as he did now.
When Wang Cheng arrived at Lushan Camp, he only reported his name, and the guards immediately went in to report.
Soon, Zhu Bangguo, who had taken off his armor, walked over quickly, followed by several people in armor. One of them was Wang Cheng's current boss, Colonel Hong Yongqian.
Before anyone arrived, Zhu Bangguo's hearty laughter could already be heard: "Haha! Good boy, I really saw you right. You keep your word and do what you say!"
"Meet the general!"
