"You haven't paid for the road this time?" Chang Yu asked the manager. The manager nodded. In the past, he had to walk a few miles ahead... After saying that, he called for a boy and took ten taels of silver and asked him to give it to him. Send those bandits.
This move shocked Chang Yu and the others: "We have more than a hundred warriors here, and you actually gave him money to travel. Isn't this a slap in the face to us?" Kuang Ren scolded.
The steward had a wry smile on his face: "Master, you pass by once in a while. We do business at least three times a month. We won't pay you this time, but we will have to make up for it next time we meet, and it's possible It’s hard for us to use this lack of support as an excuse! We can’t meet you every time.”
This makes sense. Chang Yu nodded, called the boy to come closer and whispered a few words, then asked him to send money to the bandit, and then reached out for Kuang Ren's hard bow.
"Why, are you using your name to buy the road?" Zhu Cixiang asked curiously: "There are only a dozen or twenty bandits, why don't you rush through and kill them!"
Chang Yu patiently explained to him that by the time you rush over, people would have already run into the mountains. If you don't chase them, they will come out again. You should chase them. In such a big mountain, you may not be able to catch them until dark.
Zhu Cixiang looked unconvinced: "According to what you say, these bandits don't need to be suppressed, and they won't be completely suppressed."
"That's not true." Chang Yu shook his head: "Leave professional matters to professional people. We are just passing by and don't have time to play cat and mouse games with them. But if they come to suppress bandits, he can get into the mouse hole and help them." He dragged him out, and even if Bai Wang fled into the mountains, he would not be able to escape death. This little thief is nothing."
"So are you planning to turn around and ask Gao Di and Zu Dashou to send troops to suppress it?"
Chang Yu nodded.
Zhu Cixiang asked again: "I have heard that officers and soldiers respect themselves by raising thieves. What do you think of this mountain..."
Chang Yu glanced at him: "To be honest, I also have a group of bandits in the mountains over in Qingzhou." Zhu Cixiang said, "You, you are kidding me."
Chang Yu shook his head: "Of course I am telling the truth."
"Then, why do you want to raise a thief?" Zhu Cixiang found it unbelievable, how could Chang Yu do such a thing.
"Raising a thief can help you respect yourself, but you can also fight poison with poison. I'll tell you slowly about this later. Let's get down to business now." He drew his bow and aimed at the hillside.
The guy on the hillside had already rushed to the thief and was talking. Then he took out the money bag but didn't hand it directly to the thief but raised it.
With a whooshing sound, Chang Yu let go of his hand, and the arrow flew away like a meteor, shooting the quiver in the man's hand right through the shoulder of the thief in front.
Fuck! Zhu Cixiang couldn't help but exclaim, and Wang Zhengnan next to him was also surprised. He knew that Chang Yu had superb martial arts skills, but he didn't know that Chang Yu's swordsmanship was so superb! You must know that they are on a mountain road, and the thieves are more than a hundred meters apart on the hillside and shooting upwards, which is extremely difficult.
The thieves on the hillside dispersed, and the guy ran back quickly. Chang Yu threw the bow to Kuang Ren and looked at Zhu Cixiang with a look on his face.
After Chang Yu and his entourage left, the shock on the steward's face had not dissipated. He dragged the waiter and asked, "What did the officer and soldier say to you?"
"He asked me to tell the bandits: This is your last transaction. After receiving the money, you should immediately disband and return to the people. Otherwise, a large army will be sent to suppress them within ten days. By the way, he informed him of his identity, Dongchang Changyu."
"Chang Yu of Dongchang, it turns out they are from Dongchang. Hey... why is this name so familiar?" The manager raised his eyebrows, and the clerk immediately became anxious: "Manager Zhang, he is the big boss of Dongchang. Eunuch, he and Wu Sangui fought the Ningyuan battle together..."
"Ah! It's him!" The steward was stunned: "Oh my god, I just met the eunuch of the East Factory." He kicked the boy and said, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"
"How dare I? My legs were weak after hearing this."
In the shadow of the famous tree, Chang Yu was already well-known in the government and the public. Even ordinary people knew that there was a great eunuch in Dongchang who knew how to fight, let alone a caravan that traveled out all year round, and that he had participated in the Ningyuan War. There are bandits on this road.
Those bandits were not so much scared away by his arrow as they were scared away by his name.
As a professional in bandit suppression, who wouldn’t feel weak after hearing about it?
Chang Yu showed off his skills and shocked everyone. Zhu Cixiang was filled with envy. He dragged Kuang Ren and asked, "How long does it take to become like him?"
Kuang Ren is an honest person: "It depends on talent."
"How long has he been practicing?" Zhu Cixiang asked.
"When I first met the governor in Taiyuan, he could only draw a bow, but he couldn't even count as an archer..." Kuang Ren's face changed before he finished speaking. As the prince, he would naturally not only study literature but also learn literature in the palace. Martial arts, such as archery, he can shoot a bow at the age of ten, and it has been six years now!
Kuang Ren saw this and said quickly: "The eldest son has a good foundation. If he trains diligently, he will not be slower than the governor. It can take as little as half a year or more and he will have a small success in more than a year."
Zhu Cixiang squeezed out a smile: "Don't comfort me. Few people can match Chang Yu's talent in martial arts. I know this." He sighed and said to Chang Yu not far away: "I once heard that the Tatars A child as young as ten over there can shoot a bow."
Chang Yu shook his head: "That rumor is too false." Everyone was surprised, thinking that Chang Yu was comforting the prince, but he changed the subject: "A ten-year-old boy can already gallop on a horse and shoot a vulture with a bow. On horseback, This is how our nation came to be, otherwise how could they claim to be invincible? Even our most powerful Guan Ning army would not be able to take advantage of them."
Zhu Cixiang was silent again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little deserted, Chang Yu waved his hand and said, "Brothers, sing with two voices." All the relatives and attendants cheered: "The Governor, raise your head."
Okay, Chang Yu cleared his throat: "Arrogance faces thousands of waves, blood is like the red sun, courage is like iron, bones are strong..." A man roared for self-improvement, and nearly a hundred guards sang in chorus, Suddenly the entire mountain road was full of pride, and Zhu Cixiang's eyes widened. What kind of song was this? It was so soul-stirring that it made people's blood boil after listening to it. Wang Zhengnan beside him was also stunned. He had just joined the gang and didn't know how to do it.
"Go and create a new world, go for my ideals." Song Luoyu sang softly beside the carriage. Princess Kunxing raised her head and stared at the stars: "You can also sing, what kind of song is this so heroic!"
"Men should strive for self-improvement. All the guards, including the fourth battalion of Dongchang, can sing it. The governor wrote the lyrics himself based on an ancient song ordered by the general!" Song Luoyu said.
Princess Kunxing's eyes were as bright as the stars, and Song Luoyu whispered: "Look, he is capable of ruling the country with literature and power, and can determine the world with military force. He is humble and talented, and he can sing well with poems. What girl would not be attracted by such a good man."
When Princess Kunxing was told what she said, she looked at her with feigned anger: "Are you tempted too?" Song Luoyu quickly waved her hand: "Beizhi has someone in mind. Beizhi was born in the world and likes the world. Although the governor is good, he is... In the eyes of a humble person, I am not as serious as my gangster spirit."
Alas, Princess Kunxing sighed: "Why is such a talented person a eunuch!"
Song Luoyu stopped talking, and was deeply moved in her heart. How could the young governor be such a good person, but he was just a eunuch.
"Chang Yu, I want to learn this song, teach me quickly." Zhu Cixiang, an idiot fan, couldn't control it anymore. Chang Yu's song "Qinyuan Chunxue" that swallowed up mountains and rivers yesterday, and the heroic song "A Man Should Be Strong" just now, he simply I fell in love to the extreme, and now I felt that the articles and poems written by those officials in the court who claimed to be literati were simply bullshit.
The wind and snow were blowing on the mountain road, and more than a hundred people sang at the top of their lungs with great enthusiasm and great joy. Zhu Cixiang followed Chang Yu's words carefully and learned every word. A young man learns things quickly, plus his talent and intelligence. After three times, he could sing loudly: " Let the sea and the sky gather energy for me to create new worlds and pursue my ideals..."
Over and over again, Zhu Cixiang's interest continued: "I think the more people sing this song together, the more powerful it will be!"
"That's natural. There are more people, more power, more energy." Chang Yu suddenly had other thoughts in his mind. It seemed that he had found another show-off skill, singing.
In the past, he was always thinking about how to make money, get food, and fight wars. He had no time or interest to pretend to be 13. Now that he has some free time, he can also use it to gain fame and reputation. At least it can be used to tease girls, he thought. Then he looked towards Zhu Yuluo's carriage and saw that she was sticking her head out and looking this way.
To deal with this kind of little girl, love songs are of course the most effective. The four kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan, with their nunchakus, and so many songs, no girl can handle them.
but!
Chang Yu can hardly remember all the lyrics of a song, at most he can only hum a few lines.
