Be a master through ancient times

"Chu Xiucai, you are really here! Are you here to take the No. [-] Scholar exam?" Qin Zhao took a few steps forward, his face full of the joy of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.

"Why is he here to take the No. [-] Scholar exam? He is the No. [-] Scholar of this year!" Xu Qiaonan laughed at the bumpkin.

Qin Zhao rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously, then turned to Chu Ci and said, "Chu... the number one scholar! Congratulations, did Xiaoyuan and the others come with you?"

"Don't call me so extroverted, just call me Brother Chu! By the way, why are you in the barracks? Didn't I hear that you went to business with your uncle?"

"It's just a child without a mother. It's a long story. At that time—"

"Ahem!" Kou Jing interrupted suddenly, and Qin Zhao immediately stood aside, listening to the leader's lecture in a standard standing posture.

Xu Qiaonan who was on the side laughed so hard that his waist was bent, and he couldn't help putting a hand on Chu Ci's shoulder.

Kou Jing calmly pulled Chu Ci to his side, and said in a low voice, "Since it's a long story, I'll talk about it later. The soldiers are exhausted all the way, so let's go in early to rest, and I will go to the Ministry of War in the afternoon."

"That's right, I almost forgot. You see, I drove a small carriage over here, Qin Zhao, Qiao Nan, please sit with me." Chu Ci saw that Kou Jing had a horse to ride, and he asked the soldiers behind him He didn't recognize him, so he invited Qin Zhao and Xu Qiaonan to get on the carriage together.

"Brother Ci, I have something important to discuss with you, and I will let them ride my horse." As he spoke, he boarded the carriage first, and then stretched out a hand to lead Chu Ci up.

Chu Ci didn't understand, so he had to give Kou Jing his hand, and then they got into the carriage together.

Xu Qiaonan and Qin Zhao looked at each other, and they both saw disgust in each other's eyes.

"I don't ride this horse!" Xu Qiaonan said.

"That's right, I'll ride alone." Qin Zhao smiled proudly.

"You can't ride either, this is Kou Qianhu's horse, let's lead the horse and go!"

"I won't play child tricks with you, you can ride alone." Qin Zhao snorted and followed behind the team.

Xu Qiaonan felt that he was being looked down upon, so he handed over the horse to an old soldier, deliberately walked up to Qin Zhao, and walked forward with his head held high.

Chu Ci didn't know the enmity between the two, he sat in the carriage with Kou Jing, but after the carriage ran for a while, Kou Jing didn't speak.

"Brother Mo, didn't you say you wanted to discuss something important with me? What is it?"

"Oh, it's like this." Kou Jing seemed to have recovered just now, and he said, "I came to the capital this time, and I brought you a lot of things, all of which are on the boat behind, and you can arrive in two days."

"That's what you want to tell me. I thought it was a confidential matter." Chu Ci laughed. "Oh, that's right, you can't let other people know that you came to the capital for personal gain and brought me something, haha. By the way, what is the purpose of your coming to the capital this time? I don't think you said anything in your letter. Do you want to keep it secret? ah?"

"No need now, the imperial court will issue a document in two days. We are here to participate in the whole army contest." Kou Jing didn't care about Chu Ci's teasing, still looked at him tenderly, and said that he came to Beijing this time. the goal of.

This military competition can be regarded as having a long history.I heard that when the Taizu seized the country, there were eight good brothers by his side. They were all good at dispatching troops, so they could win the battles with fewer victories and create classics time and time again. won the country.

When the throne was firmly established, those brothers who were originally good at dispatching troops were also conferred titles and held important positions.It turns out that there are enemies that attract hatred, and the contradictions between them are not too obvious, but when the enemies no longer exist, their contradictions will surface.

They often fight back and forth like black-eyed chickens, and basically have to fight in the court for a while every day.

The old dynasty has collapsed and the new dynasty has just been established. It is the time when everything is waiting to be done. The emperor is so busy that he has to jump off the building every day. How can he have so much energy to deal with these trivial matters between brothers.But no matter what, it’s unreasonable, just let it go, it’s hurtful.

Someone privately proposed that the eight kings be entrusted to various places, so if they can't see each other, won't there be no quarrels?The emperor felt that this person had ulterior motives, so he killed him.

Just kidding, it is easy to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but it is still difficult to catch the tiger.He has a deep understanding of the ability of these people to dispatch troops and generals, and if he gets them a fief, if one of them is bad, won't they become kings themselves?Anyway, if it was him, he would do it.Therefore, these tigers must not be released back.

It's hard to say, and it can't be let go, so the left minister at the time, that is, the original counselor, said that these people are all brave and fierce, and it is better to find something to let them go than to let them fight non-stop. they do.Don't you like leading troops?Each person is given [-] soldiers, and they are asked to train and compete once a year. The position is determined according to the ranking. Whoever wins will be justified, and those who lose will obey unconditionally.

As soon as these people heard this, they all agreed, and used all their eighteen martial arts skills on these people.

Because the soldiers they carefully trained are particularly useful, this tradition has been maintained.However, because the status of the civil servants was higher, it was said that this once a year was a waste of money and money, so it was changed to once every three years, and [-] soldiers were selected by each province and a coach went to Beijing to compete.

Kou Jing has always been the recruit coach. The marshal felt that he was very good at leading troops, so last year he handed over the 50 soldiers selected to him. After a few months of training, he selected [-] soldiers to go to Beijing, and he was also officially mentioned. The position became deputy thousand households.

A hundred households are official positions of the sixth rank, while a thousand households are of the fifth rank.Deputy Qianhu is between the two, and he is a fifth-rank official. Speaking of which, his official position is currently greater than that of Chu Ci.

But military officers are no better than civil servants, and most of them are empty posts.Not to mention the high status of civil servants of the same level, even a military officer of a higher level would not dare to easily offend a lower level of civil servants.

Among the fifty people Kou Jing brought this time, except for Qin Zhao and Xu Qiaonan who were new recruits, the rest were veterans who had trained for three years.These people, whether in physical fitness or other aspects, are superior to other soldiers.

The reason why Qin Zhao and Xu Qiaonan were chosen was that firstly, they were inferior to others, and secondly, that since Xu Qiaonan entered the camp, the two had disliked each other, and were making trouble every day in the military camp, so only Kou Jing could control them. up.

Chu Ci nodded, isn't this just like the modern Military Games?It's just that the items tested may vary.

"How many days does this competition last? Can we go and see it then?"

"Yes. In addition, I would like to ask my younger brother to do me a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"There is a competition in the whole army contest that requires a counselor to advise. I didn't bring the counselors in the army here. I want to ask you to help me with this favor. I wonder if you are willing? If you don't want to, it doesn't matter." Kou Jing After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Ci fixedly. Although he said it was okay, Chu Ci knew that if he did not agree, Kou Jing would be very disappointed.

"You think highly of me so much, of course I have to agree. But Brother Mo, I think you can write about the world with your writing, and you can mount a horse to secure the world with your martial arts. Why do you still need a counselor?"

"I trust you more than myself."

"Haha, I hope I won't be entrusted by you, Brother Momo."

Kou Jing was a little unhappy when he heard him say "Mo's brother", but he didn't know what to ask Chu Ci to call him, so he muttered a few times, but he didn't speak.

He didn't say it, but Chu Ci noticed it.

"Brother Mo, what's the matter with you? Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Brother Ci, can you not call me Brother Mo?"

"Ah?" Chu Ci was a little puzzled, why?

"When I was studying in the past, those classmates called me that."

"Then I'll call you Kou Qianhu too?"

"No, this is called by the people in the army."

"Then what do I call you? I can't just call you by your name, right? That's not good."

"Why don't you call me Brother Jing? No one has ever called me that."

When Chu Ci heard this, he burst out laughing.Brother Jing?Brother Jing?As Chuci, who has been nurtured by the painstaking works of the four masters of Jin, Liang, Wen, how can he not know Brother Jing, the "great man of chivalry"?When Kou Jing mentioned this, he always felt that he was calling him.

Seeing him laughing wildly, Kou Jing couldn't help but dim his eyes. It seems that Cidi still doesn't want to call him so intimately after all.

After Chu Ci finished laughing, he realized that it was not good.Kou Jing, who was beside her, stared forward, her expression was like something.

"Brother Mo, are you angry?" He leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"..." Kou Jing shook her head silently, how could he be angry with Cidi?

"Then just smile." Chu Ci turned his face around, forcing him to smile.

Kou Jing sighed helplessly, and said, "Stop making trouble, brother farewell." Then she turned her head back.

And said he wasn't angry!Even if you are not angry, you are not happy.Chu Ci rolled his eyes, leaned into Kou Jing's ear with a smirk, and called softly, "Don't be angry, brother Jing~"

Kou Jing froze, and the ear that Chu Ci was close to turned red. He stammered, "Brother Ci, what did you call me just now?"

"I'll call you Brother Jing, okay?" Chu Ci held back his laughter and asked softly.

Kou Jing turned her head, her eyes were full of joy, the corners of her lips raised more than one arc, and she nodded again and again: "Yeah!"

Chu Ci's laugh that was about to come out froze, he wanted to laugh, but seeing Kou Jing like this, he couldn't.This title sounds funny to him, but in Kou Jing's mind, it seems to have other meanings?

He couldn't bear to spoil Kou Jing's mood, but this title was too nasty for a big man like him, so Chu Ci said, "Uh, why don't I just call you Brother Jing, I'm not one of those little girls, Calling it this way not only looks close, but also shows that I am calm, do you think it is okay?"

"Okay, let's call it whatever you think it's easy for you to say."

Kou Jing was a little disappointed, but it was enough to make him happy that Brother Ci could call him "Brother Jing" instead of "Brother Mo" that everyone could call him.

Although, he still prefers the title "Brother Jing" in his heart.When Cidi called him like this just now, his heart suddenly beat very fast, and an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart, which made him want to go out for a run happily.

But as Cidi said, this kind of name is indeed called more by girls.

If only he could meet Cidi when he was a child.At that time, Cidi, who was wearing a little boy bun, raised his round face and called him "Brother Jing" sweetly. He would definitely spend all his money to buy candied haws for him to eat.

Chu Ci felt that Kou Jing was looking at him with misty and strange eyes, so he couldn't help asking, "Brother Jing, what are you thinking?"

"Candied haws."

Chu Ci's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time. It turned out that... the most tall and powerful Kou Jingjing's favorite food... turned out to be candied haws...!
