In the world of Middle-earth, if the people at the bottom want to change their destiny, martial arts breakthrough is the fastest way. If the noble princes want to continue their glory, they also need strong men to emerge from generation to generation.
Every year, the County Zong Wuyuan Competition is a grand event that attracts the attention of all parties outside the city. Being able to enter Nanmeng Wuyuan is very dazzling!
What's more, it's a special move from the sect that only comes once in ten years from the city?
It should be noted that a few days ago, Wu Yuan took the examination and test at the County Zongwu Academy, and there were many rumors circulating. Today, after it was confirmed by the County Sheriff's Office, it naturally spread like the wind!
"Special move? What is a special move?"
"Under normal circumstances, if you want to enter the Yunwu Palace, you must compete in the martial arts academy. The special recruitment means that the talent is too high. Those who are high will enter the Yunwu Palace directly without taking the test!"
"I, the Wu family, will be prosperous!"
After receiving the exact news from the officials of the county governor's office, the entire Wu family in Licheng was completely excited and fell into an unprecedented celebration. It was like celebrating three major festivals. Zhuangzi was conquered and many clan members were killed. of haze.
A strong martial artist can easily change the fate of a family!
…
To the east of the city.
There is a large mansion with quite a vast area only 200 meters away from the Sheriff's Mansion. The plaque has been changed to 'Wu Mansion'!
Wu Yuan, his mother Wan Qin, his sister Wu Yijun, the patriarchs Wu Qiming, Wu Dongyao, Wu Long, Wu Liuye, etc. all gathered here.
Of course, there is also Guji who has changed into butler attire.
In addition to the Wu family, there were also many high-ranking officials from the city such as the county governor Jiang Dongque and the county lieutenant.
"Chief Jiang, according to the law, a medium-sized mansion is enough." Wu Yuan shook his head.
"Haha, the sect's law also stipulates that if you are not suitable, you can also move into a large mansion." Jiang Dongque said with a smile, looking very kind: "Wu Xiaoyou is now specially recruited to join the sect. After a few years of martial arts success, he will also move into a large mansion." For the mansion, it’s better to get it right in one step to avoid trouble.”
"Okay, thank you so much, Sheriff." Wu Yuan smiled.
He did not refuse the other party's kindness.
Hengyun Sect has built many large-scale mansions, medium-sized mansions, and small-scale mansions in various prefectures and counties to accommodate the lives of its members and their families, and they are distributed in order according to their status.
The larger the mansion, the closer it is to the garrison barracks and the county governor's mansion, which means the higher the status of the owner of the mansion.
It will also be safer!
Once you leave office, you have to give up your mansion. For example, Guan Zishan from Dongye County resigned from office and returned to his hometown. Most of his family also moved back to Dongye County.
Of course, if you make great achievements, you can also expect to obtain permanent residency.
But this is very difficult!
The two sides communicated for a while, and then the county guard and the county lieutenant wisely chose to leave, leaving everyone in the Wu family some space.
"When I was selected as a scholar, there were more than a hundred people. The county governor only said a few words and never spoke to the county governor alone." Wu Dongyao sighed: "But Wu Yuan asked the county governor to take the initiative to come to the door to express his thanks and show his goodwill! "
"The special move is different!" Wu Long said solemnly: "With Wu Yuan's talent, he is expected to become a first-class master in the future!"
Sheriff, four-year term.
A first-class master is hard to find in a county!
In the world of Middle-earth, although scholars can take the imperial examination, they can even be expected to become governors, and their status is as high as that of first-class masters.
But in the final analysis, with the terrifying strength of martial arts masters, individual power is greater than that of the group.
Wen is only an auxiliary, martial arts is the core!
"Patriarch, although I will still be at home for a while, after returning from Nanmeng Mansion, I will set off for Licheng." Wu Yuan said softly: "The mansion is huge, and my mother's vision is not enough after all. She needs you to worry more about these two things, Patriarch." Patriarch, you can go with me to the banquet organized by Commander Tian and others."
"Wu Yuan, don't worry."
Seeing that Wu Yuan finally expressed his stance, Wu Qiming said solemnly: "I will always pay attention to your mother's body, and I will do my best to educate Mr. Yi."
Wu Yuan smiled.
He believes that Wu Qiming is a smart man and there are some things that don't need to be said.
The weak need the help of the clan, but for the top martial arts experts, the clan is a kind of tie.
Wu Yuan's introduction of Wu Qiming to the banquet was a way of expressing his stance.
Most of the rights originally belonging to 'Wan Qin' were handed over to 'Wu Qiming'.
In the future, Wu Qiming will act on behalf of 'Wu Yuan' in Licheng. It is foreseeable that the Wu family's power will expand rapidly.
Apart from anything else, with Wu Yuan's endorsement, as long as Wu Yuan survives and his status within the sect becomes higher and higher, all the yamen in Li City will not embarrass the Wu family too much in the future.
This alone can save a lot of money and hassle.
What Wu Qiming has to do is to take good care of Wan Qin and Wu Yijun!
"Brother, the yard here is so big, bigger than the clan leader's yard." Wu Yijun jumped out of the mansion, extremely excited.
"Haha." Everyone in the Wu family couldn't help laughing.
The Wu family's ancestral residence is comparable to the medium-sized mansions in the east area of the city. Can it be considered valuable? Not even a small mansion can keep up!
What's more, it's a large mansion in the east of the city?
Being able to stay here means entering the ranks of Licheng's 'top dignitaries'!
...Wu Yuan arranged every part of the mansion one by one.
The outer courtyard will basically be left to the "Wu clan" to take care of, while the inner house will be the living place for Wan Qin and Wu Yijun.
"Mom, are you dissatisfied with me letting the clan leader handle these matters?" Wu Yuan asked.
"There is no dissatisfaction." Wan Qin shook his head and said with emotion: "Today, there are hundreds of invitations just for greetings, and they are all from luxurious and wealthy families. How can I, an ignorant woman, handle it? I can't even remember the name. .”
"You asked the patriarch to deal with it. The arrangement is very good!" Wan Qin said with a smile: "Besides, the patriarch and the family have helped us a lot over the years, so we can't forget it."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
In the process of your own rise, you always need to use people.
Instead of relying on outsiders, it’s better to trust your tribe!
"Okay, mother, you first get familiar with the environment here. If you want to improve it, just tell the stewards that the clan leader and I will go to the banquet." Wu Yuan stood up.
…
To celebrate Wu Yuan's special recruitment, the county governor Jiang Dongque specially arranged a grand banquet for Wu Yuan.
It also truly introduced the Wu family into the upper class society outside the city.
It wasn't until late at night that all the guests dispersed.
At the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.
Jiang Dongque watched Wu's carriage in the distance, turned the corner of the street, and the smile on his lips just subsided.
"Sir, although Wu Yuan is a specially recruited disciple, he is still just a martial arts master now, and most of them will only become second-rate masters in the future." Dian Shi on the side was a little confused: "What impact can it have on us? Why is it so grand?"
"He was only an eighth-grade warrior four or five months ago." Jiang Dongque said lightly: "He is only fourteen years old this year!"
Dianshi was stunned.
What impressed them most about Wu Yuan was his terrifying rate of progress.
"His strength does not have much influence on me, but how can he know what he will achieve in the future?" Jiang Dongque said: "If he becomes a first-class master and is willing to return to his hometown in the future, he may serve as a general or a general of the guard!"
"It will be of no use to me then, but what about me, the Jiang family?"
Dian Shi nodded, but still felt that Jiangdong Palace was a bit fussy. There were many first-class masters in the sect. How many of them could become generals or generals of the guard?
Jiang Dongque shook his head slightly, too lazy to explain further.
"Gao Yu is the protector of the Caigong Palace. How famous is he? He values Wu Yuan so much. Is he really an ordinary specially recruited disciple?" Jiang Dongque secretly asked.
He celebrated in such a grand way, using all the sect's resources, so he didn't lose anything.
Why not?
…
Guard the General's Mansion.
"General, almost all the officials and major families in the city have gone." Liu Ye bowed slightly and said, "According to your order, several of our commanders have also gone."
"Okay, I understand, let's get down!" Xu Shouyi said softly.
Willow Leaf immediately retreated.
"This Wu Yuan has indeed become a specially recruited disciple. If Jiang Dongque is so solemn, does he know the inside story?" Xu Shouyi felt troubled in his heart: "This Wu Yuan is really a threat."
Although the last assassination was very careful, there was no possibility of directly revealing the identity.
But Xu Shouyi knew in his heart that Wu Yuan would most likely guess that it was him!
"snort!"
"So what if you hate me?" Xu Shouyi's eyes were cold: "No matter how talented you are and you become a first-class master, you can't deal with me without evidence."
…
Leaving the city, in the south of the city, in an inconspicuous mansion, there are many men with serious expressions, obviously well-trained.
nave.
Whoosh! A short, fat, muscular man walked in.
"Junior brother."
The elegant white-robed man in the room turned around and said with a smile, "You are finally back."
"These days, I have been searching in various towns and villages outside the city, but I have never found any trace of the mysterious gunman." The short, fat and sturdy man picked up the kettle and took a sip: "And from the 'Star Tower' to the Seven Star Tower 'Judging from the purchased information, there are no similar martial arts masters in the entire Nanmeng Mansion."
"You are in the city, how is the situation?" the short, fat and strong man asked.
"Gao Yu is here." The elegant man in white robe said.
"What?" The short, fat and sturdy man was startled: "Why did he suddenly come to Licheng? Is it possible that the Hengyun Sect also knew about the Chujiang Order?"
"possible!"
The elegant man in white robe nodded: "However, it may also be for another matter. Today, Hengyun Sect specially recruited a disciple in Licheng, named Wu Yuan. He has the strength of a martial artist at the age of fourteen."
"A fourteen-year-old martial artist?"
The short, fat and sturdy man said nonchalantly: "My talent is not bad, but if you work hard, you can hope to become a first-class master before you are thirty."
The elegant man in white robe nodded, and he didn't care much about Wu Yuan.
A top expert?
More than one top-notch master died at the hands of their brothers.
"Let's search for a while longer." The elegant white-robed man said, "If you still can't find any trace, go back and report to Master."
…
In an inconspicuous Zhuangzi about twenty miles away from the city.
It looks ordinary on the surface, but who can know about it outside? This place will be a stronghold established by the Jin Empire in the Hengyun Sect.
"Specially recruited disciple? A fourteen-year-old martial artist? He is a little genius!" The evil young man in blood-red clothes said to himself in a low voice, listening to the report from his subordinates.
"Guo Liu, what will happen according to your rules?" The evil young man looked at the respectful middle-aged man in black robe.
"grown ups!"
The middle-aged man in black robe smiled bitterly: "Our branch mainly focuses on 'spying on intelligence', and its force is not very strong. There are only a few third-rate warriors. Specially recruited disciples like this are very protective. We usually only send intelligence Please report and wait for orders from above."
"Waiting for orders?"
"Everything is waiting for an order from above. The water of the Chu River has flowed into the sea!" The evil young man shook his head slightly: "Well, since I passed by, I will conveniently remove a genius from the Hengyun Sect and remove some obstacles for me to unify the world of the Jin Dynasty."
"In the past few days, mobilize all your strength to investigate Wu Yuan's whereabouts."
"Look for an opportunity and I'll take action myself!"
