"Uh..." Wu Zheng widened his eyes, "Who did you steal? Didn't you just talk about the villagers..."

"Where do you want to go?" Chen Zhiyuan said angrily, "Am I that kind of person? Besides, I have to have that ability. Uh... these five thousand taels were donated by my father."

Wu Zheng opened his mouth wide, and half of the porridge that had not yet swallowed had dripped out of the corner of his mouth.

"Your father... can Lingzun donate five thousand taels? Is the sun coming out from the west? Wait, let me calm down, Qingqing's ears... I heard it right?"

"Wu Zheng, although my father is a little stingy, he has no choice but to say to my son. Don't say that to my father!"

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "This is true. Your father is really nothing to say to you. Your mother left so early, it all depends on your father being both a father and a mother pulling you up, and he didn't even have a string."

Chen Zhiyuan's expression became sad and she burst into tears when she saw him.

Don’t want Wu Zheng to change the subject and said, “But isn’t it because your father is reluctant to pay the betrothal gift?”

Chen Zhiyuan was furious, "Wu Zheng, do you believe it or not, I will break off my robes and ties with you?"

Wu Zheng said seriously: "Tell me, what do your father want from me?"

"Uh...how do you know?"

"Just you and your father, how can I not know? Tell me."

"It's not a big deal... I just want to be promoted to an official position. Wu Zheng, look, although I was a scholar a year later than you, I am familiar with military books. It is true that soldiers are inconsistent, and water is inconsistent..."

"It's important to pick it up." Wu Zheng frowned.

"Okay. Then I'll be honest. You said that I'm so talented and I'm just a little flag. Is it a talent? Why should I be a general flag?

"You two, do you think I'm a businessman?"

"How is this a sale of official positions? My father is eager to be righteous, and I am both talented and virtuous."

"I'm just a hundred households and don't have the right to raise you as the general flag."

"Wu Zheng, you are not authentic now. Erhan, a servant, hasn't he become the general flag? I am your brother."

"What's wrong with the servant? Erhan followed me through life and death. How many Tartars have they killed? Are you embarrassed to compete with him?"

"Uh... OK, I won't compare with Erhan, but Song An told me that the court has allowed you to promote military positions below 100 households. Wu Zheng, after so many years of friendship, this is related to my life's future. Can't you bury me?"

Wu Zheng looked at Chen Zhiyuan blankly. When he said that he had reached the level of burying talents, Wu Zheng had nothing to say.

Seeing Wu Zheng remained silent, Chen Zhiyuan decided to add another fire.

"Wu Zheng, I know you are for my own good and afraid that I will die. But you must know that when you escaped from Shining Town with me, you were just a scholar. Look, aren't you also a hundred families who have experienced many battles now? The so-called three days after a soldier, you should look at him with admiration. The military strategy is cloudy, the soldiers are inconsistent, and the water is inconsistent..."

"Shut up." Wu Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and shouted sternly, "Okay, you want to die, I won't stop you. In this way, you can be the general flag, but you can't lead the soldiers. Stay with me, and you can also be considered a military officer."

"No, don't lead the troops, I'm the only one, what a bad flag?"

"I can't let you harm dozens of people."

"Wu Zheng, you look down on others too much. How is this called disaster? I can do it even if you can become like this now. Besides, I am full of martial arts, and I am afraid that you don't have the ability to do this?...Wu Zheng, just give me a chance and yourself a chance, how about it?"

"Give me a chance? What chance?"

"You think, if one day I really become a famous general, then you, Bole. Besides, you think, if you have a famous general like me, will you not be proud or glorious?"

Wu Zheng stared at Chen Zhiyuan in a daze. How thick the human skin was to be able to say this naturally.

This is truly strong inside.

The ignorant is fearless, and the shameless is invincible!

But Wu Zheng was indeed convinced.

Chen Zhiyuan is only three months younger than Wu Zheng. At this age, he is indeed very shaped.

Just as he said, what if he really became a famous general.

Those with ambition will succeed.

"Okay. I'll give you a chance, but one thing you said just now is that when I joined the army, I was also a scholar without any power, but when I arrived at my uncle, I was practicing me to death. If you can bear this sin, I will let you lead the army in half a year."

Chen Zhiyuan was excited when he heard this, "Brother, good brother, I knew that you would not delay me."

Wu Zheng opened his mouth for a long time but didn't close it.

....

Huang Degong had been in the heart all day long.

He picked out a blooming rose petal outside the study, muttering, "Report, don't report, don't report..."

Reporting is a dead end.

Not reporting is a dead end.

No wonder he is so entangled.

However, it must be God's eyes open.

Things have turned around.

A man came in to report: "Sir, there is an invitation."

Huang Degong shouted in annoyance: "I am so upset that I won't go. I don't have any eyesight to see it."

The servant said: "It was Mr. Wu's invitation to a banquet."

"I don't even go to the emperor if I invite a banquet... Uh, who do you mean?"

"Sir, it was Wu Zheng's invitation to the banquet."

Huang Degong was stunned. Wu Zheng invited a banquet?

What is he going to do?

Do you blame me? There is no need to do this, just report it with a letter.

Do you humiliate me? What should I do when I invite a banquet?

If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for.

No, what can he ask me for?

Although he is just a slave soldier, he is a sixth-rank official in the court. There is no need to ask me to be a seventh-rank magistrate.

Could it be... he wants to...

"Huo", Huang Degong's eyes lit up, and he thought he had grasped the essence of the matter.

"Go and tell the sender that I will go to the banquet on time."

"In addition, let's prepare a heavy gift, and I will take it with me. Um... I will take the box of the late Tang white jade Buddha statue in my bedroom."

....

At night, it was still in "Ronglu Tower".

Wu Zheng did not really retreat to the shopkeeper, but changed it to the evening.

It’s not that Wu Zheng really wanted to save the two taels of silver, but that Li Ruhai said goodbye directly after he finished speaking.

Wu Zheng likes Li Ruhai's personality quite well.

Those who really want to do things will never want to waste time on social engagements, food and drink.

Wu Zheng was surprised that when he arrived at "Ronglu Tower", Huang Degong was already there.

"Mr. Huang County, it's early. Could it be that my official was late?"

"No, no. Lord Wu was not late, but I happened to go out if I had something to do. I came back a little early. I thought it was troublesome to come out again after returning to the yamen. I was waiting for Lord Wu here."

"The magistrate of Laohuang County has been waiting for a long time."

"Fortunately, soon. Lord Wu... Then let's take the seat?"

"Okay, OK. Shopkeeper, just serve the food."

"Okay."

Wu Zheng and Huang Degong sat down in the elegant room.

The two of them looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one spoke for a long time.

But there were smiles on his face and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
