After the old man guessed that he was a soldier, everyone present was surprised.
Wang Huan and Xu Guichang were even more surprised: "Brother Xu Ying, are you really a soldier of the government?"
Seeing the appearance of these two people, Xu Yunyan shook his head, "No! I'm not a soldier."
As soon as Xu Yunyan said that he was not a government soldier, the old man who said that Xu Yunyan was a government soldier hurriedly bowed to Xu Yunyan, "It's true that this old man is being abrupt here. He has met this gentleman before."
grown ups?
This title made everyone present stunned again.
"What does this mean?"
Xu Yunyan was a little surprised. The old man looked at Xu Yunyan and looked at the people next to him. He lowered his voice and spoke in a voice that only a few people close to him could hear.
"Sir, you are wearing official boots."
"It's broken, it's a mistake. It's true that I changed my clothes, but the boots I wore on my feet were serious tiger-head golden boots that matched the armor. I didn't notice it at this time. I was caught by the old man. noticed."
Xu Yunyan is quite helpless now. How did it end up in such a situation?
I thought I could hide my identity very well at such a young age, but who would have thought that this old guy could see my hidden identity at a glance?
The wisdom of the ancients is really not limited!
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Xu Guichang and Wang Huan suddenly looked at the boots on Xu Yunyan's feet.
There is a metal tiger head on the front of a pair of cloth shoes. This is probably a standard feature only for serious generals. The average soldier is just a pair of ordinary cloth shoes. It is a bit unrealistic for you to let them wear such gorgeous boots.
When Xu Yunyan saw everyone looking at his shoes, he knew he was going to be in trouble. He laughed awkwardly, "I said I'm not a soldier, right? You didn't believe it, but now you believe it?"
After Xu Yunyan said this, the old man was also very sensible and bowed to Xu Yunyan, "Then, little old man, I won't bother you here anymore. I'll visit you when there's no one around."
After saying this, the little old man bowed again to Xu Yunyan, Wang Huan and Xu Guichang, and these three people also hurriedly returned the bow.
No matter what your current status is, a scholar still knows the basic etiquette.
When things happened, Xu Yunyan rubbed oil on his feet and started to run away. How could Xu Guichang and Wang Huan let Xu Yunyan go?
After arriving at the hidden position, Wang Huan and Xu Guichang finally blocked Xu Yunyan.
"Brother Xu Ying, you deceived us so miserably. I didn't expect that you were actually an official. It's a shame that the two of us treated you as an ordinary person and kept urging you to take the imperial examination. No I think you already have an official status and don’t need to take the imperial examination."
Xu Yunyan was so embarrassed, "I didn't say I was an official, I'm just an ordinary person. I picked up these shoes in Beidi and they fit my feet just right."
Xu Yunyan raised his feet and made gestures, while Wang Huan and Xu Guichang looked at Xu Yunyan as if they were idiots. "Do you think we are stupid? You can pick this thing up casually, and ordinary people dressed like this were discovered by someone who was interested." , but it will cause trouble, so just be obedient, you are definitely an official."
Xu Guichang and Wang Huan were struggling with each other's words here. Xu Yunyan finally said, "Then tell the truth."
Soon Xu Guichang and Wang Huan watched Xu Yunyan take out a small object from his arms.
"This is a fish charm that can only be used by serious officials. You still say that you are not an official?"
"I am just a ninth-grade official, do you need to be so surprised?"
Xu Yunyan continued to talk nonsense seriously.
"Nine-grade junior official? Are you fooling us? You are obviously not a civil official. You are a military general. How can you be a low-level military general? You still have two guards."
After Xu Guichang said this, he immediately informed Wang Huan about the encounter between him and Xu Yunyan. Wang Huan's eyes also lit up.
"Yes! You have guards, how can you be a ninth-grade military general? What's more, it's impossible for this ninth-grade military general to let you leave the military camp so easily.
What's more, you keep saying that you are not a soldier, and you do have a northern accent, but you went to Yancheng, Chuzhou, Huainan Road. Did you get a reward for your meritorious service? "
The wisdom of this ancient man is not limited, and this is no joke. He guessed his current situation in a few words. Xu Yunyan had no choice but to act like a good baby here and beg for forgiveness with his fingers.
"Brothers, I really didn't mean to lie to you. To be honest, I am just an eighth-grade deputy lieutenant with the army. I had some military exploits in the North. Didn't the An family settle in Yancheng, Chuzhou?
The girl I brought is really my sister, my biological sister!
Those two were not my guards, they were brothers from the same village that I grew up with. During the war, we both had no homes and we went together to live in Yancheng, Chuzhou to make ends meet. "
After Xu Yunyan said this, An finally helped two people.
Although it is still serious nonsense.
"I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Now you are an eighth-grade official, but you entered the official career one step ahead of us."
Just after Wang Huan said this, Wang Huan suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Oops! Why is it such an unfortunate coincidence? Then Brother Xu Ying won't be able to go to Luoyang to attend my sister's wedding."
At this time, Xu Guichang was very curious, "Brother, what do you mean by this? Could it be that after Brother Xu Ying went to Yancheng, he went to Luoyang and couldn't catch up?"
"Brother-in-law, why don't you know this bit of common sense? After a general is assigned to a place, he cannot leave at will without an order. The management here is very strict. If you dare to leave rashly, maybe you will I'll accuse you of treason."
Xu Yunyan was a little surprised at this moment. "Is there such a thing? It seems that I have to be honest in Yancheng from now on. I must not leave Yancheng without orders, otherwise I will accidentally leave Yancheng and be a little bit confused." If someone finds out, he accuses himself of treason and gets slapped with a knife, it will be a big loss."
The news about Xu Guichang and Wang Huan shocked Xu Yunyan, but Xu Yunyan quickly made up his mind, "In this case, I will congratulate Brother Wang and Brother Xu on their marriage in advance. I will come here when I have the opportunity." I’ll entertain you in Yancheng, Chuzhou.”
Xu Yunyan thought that this would be able to get rid of the two people and prevent them from doubting his identity. Xu Guichang and Wang Huan suddenly changed their faces, as if they wanted to know what achievements Xu Yunyan had made in Beidi and why he was like this. When he had such an official position at a young age, Xu Guichang suddenly asked.
"Brother Xu Ying has never been embarrassed to ask. I wonder if you are noble this year?"
Xu Yunyan said weakly, "Just seventeen."
At this time, Xu Guichang and Wang Huan started to complain again.
"Is there any more justice left?"
Xu Guichang made a sign of eighteen, and Wang Huan made a sign of nineteen, and then lay there in mourning.
Although he was surprised by Xu Yunyan's rank, he still agreed to keep it a secret for him and unanimously called him ninth rank.
