Cheng Gao, Li Kun, Jin Mancheng.
These three people are not just Baihu and general banner. Their three families have almost monopolized the positions of high-ranking officials in Baihusuo.
In fact, the power is not much different.
Chenggao's mansion is quite spacious and majestic. His family has a large number of slaves and a group of eleven private soldiers, which is a very powerful force in Baihusuo.
Inside the hall.
"Pa." Cheng Gao swiped his right hand and swept the tea cup on the coffee table to the ground, breaking into countless pieces.
He stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, paced back and forth with an ugly expression, and said, "Li Kun, this thief, is trying to trick me."
"Others become officials just for money, but Wu Nian became an official to subsidize the soldiers. This is what he wants to get more. Now that the Mongolian people are so powerful, he may one day fight against the Mongolian people. This kind of People are heroes in history books.”
Cheng Gao was very angry and regretful.
He and Wu Nian had no enmity or enmity. It was only because he suspected that Wu Nian had killed his subordinate Xiaoqi Li Ding that he took the lead and made Wu Nian kneel down.
What's wrong with soldiers kowtowing to officials?
This kid didn't even kneel.
It was only after the dispute reached a standstill that the next thing happened.
And if Li Kun hadn't been protecting him, he would have taken advantage of this kid long ago.
It's fine now. If you can't kill the snake, there will be endless troubles.
"Think of a way to get him." Cheng Gao raised his head and said to the man in front of him.
This man has tiger eyes and a broad nose. He has a very fierce appearance. He is seven feet six inches tall and very strong. He has a steel knife stuck in his waist.
It was Wu Yuan, the leader of Chenggao's family.
"Sir, Li Ding has used all the tricks that should be used."
"Li Kun is very concerned about him now. He just killed the tiger and avenged Master Baihu. And the entire Baihu Office knows about it. It's very popular. I think it's better to wait and see for the time being."
Wu Yuan was tall and thick, but his mind was delicate and he said helplessly.
Cheng Gao looked ugly, but he had to admit that there was nothing he could do against Wu Nian.
He scolded Li Ding half to death in his heart.
"Wu Nian didn't attract Li Kun's attention at that time for this piece of trash. The dignified Xiaoqi couldn't kill the soldiers."
"Hey." Cheng Gao sighed, raised his head and said to Wu Yuan, "I'm just afraid that the longer time passes, the harder it will be for him to deal with him."
"Don't worry, General Banner. According to Wu Nian's financial resources and qualifications, he won't be able to become the General Banner within three years. It's still a long time, just look for opportunities slowly."
Wu Yuan said with a smile, a look of determination on his face.
It is relatively easy for this little soldier to become a small flag. As long as a hundred households recommend it, the court will generally agree.
But the general flag is different.
This size is already a general.
As for the imperial court, the review will be much stricter.
Unless there is real military merit, or huge financial resources to open up the joints.
The Jin family, the Li family, and the Cheng family in the Beishan Fort's 100 households all have money and power to become officials.
Moreover. Now there are no vacancies in Zongqi and 100 households. How can Wu Nian squeeze in?
"Too."
After hearing this, Cheng Gao felt a little relieved and nodded.
After a while, he waved his hand and let Wu Yuan go down.
"Come here. Come and clean up, and have a cup of tea by the way." Cheng Gao looked at the broken tea cup on the ground, frowned, and shouted towards the door.
"yes."
A slave with a delicate appearance responded and walked in to tidy up. Not long after, another cup of tea was brought.
Cheng Gao picked up the tea cup and drank in small sips. And his eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a dangerous light.
It’s time to stay away from the edge now, but it doesn’t hurt to think about it in advance and be prepared.
How to land a killing blow and take out this bastard.
...
Wu Nian practiced like this every three days, training his troops evenly.
Time passed quickly, and it was time to distribute food on the first day of the new year.
As time passed, this matter also cooled down in the entire Baihu Office.
None of these officials are serious, so it’s not strange for a serious official to appear once in a while.
This morning.
Dongfang Xiwei. Wu Nian got up earlier than usual, but Liu Xiang got up earlier than him.
And she had boiled the hot water.
"Why are you getting up so early?" Wu Nian looked at Liu Xiang who was adding firewood to the stove and asked curiously.
This winter. She eats well, has plenty of food and water, and stays at home all day long weaving. It has become whiter and fleshier.
So lovely.
Even now, the Wu family is still poor. She has neither jewelry nor decent clothes, so she looks very shabby.
"I know brother, you are going to collect grain and rice today." Liu Xiang smiled, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth, which was very cute.
A sixteen-year-old girl, a flower.
"It turns out I was thinking about rice." Wu Nian said with a smile.
"No. I, I... I'm afraid that you won't have breakfast, brother." Liu Xiang's cheeks turned red as she spoke, and her voice became lower and lower.
Wu Nian laughed.
What a cold and arrogant little girl she was back then. Talking to her, she would retort back. It's fine now, my little wife is so good.
Wu Nian likes this.
Cute, cute and sensible.
"I'm still adding firewood to the stove. The water is boiling." Wu Nian said with a smile.
Liu Xiang screamed, and quickly took out the firewood and stuffed it into the cooking stove, her face even redder.
Wu Nian laughed, mixed hot water with some cold water with a ladle, and started washing.
After eating a simple meal in a hurry, Wu Nian strode out of the small courtyard and headed towards the military camp.
His steps were very steady, and his eyes were sharp, like a blade.
Today is not just about receiving food and rice, but a war.
He wanted to spit out the two bushels of rice per person per month that Cheng Gao had eaten.
After Wu Nian entered the military camp, he came to his small townhouse. Ten soldiers including Tieniu and Li Yong have arrived, and everyone has a sword.
They are either sitting or standing. After seeing Wu Nian, they immediately stood in a row out of reflex, bent down and saluted, "Sir Xiaoqi."
During this time, everyone has changed.
Li Yong is old, his energy is gone, and he has not changed much.
But he is a veteran and is very good at training new recruits.
Tieniu became stronger and looked like an iron tower when standing.
Zhang Sheng is also stronger than before.
Wang Gui's body bones have gradually become stronger, and he no longer has asthma or coughing.
The new recruits also became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The most important thing is that they are not a mob, but have a momentum. There is also a flag.
This banner is his Wu Nian.
It can also be said to be a military spirit.
A strong, well-trained army with a military spirit is an elite soldier.
"Brothers, food is being distributed today. Let's have a big fight." Wu Nian put his hands on his hips, his eyes became sharper, and he shouted.
"Yes." The soldiers held their heads high and responded loudly, full of energy.
“Dong dong dong!!”
Soon after, the drums started beating. This is when hundreds of households beat drums and gather troops.
"Let's go." Wu Nian took a deep breath, guided him, and trotted towards the school grounds.
At the same time, the people and horses of each small flag also headed towards the school grounds like the sea embracing all rivers.
