She Song

Chapter 273 Pengju won the first place
Seeing that Yue Pengju was silent again, Tang Huai, a childhood friend from the same village, looked longingly at the eldest brother who was capable of both literary and military skills.

"Pengju, I'm not lying to you. The government notices are all posted at the city gate. Not only are we recruiting soldiers, but also arresting officers and police officers. We are also short of manpower... You are the number one hero in our Tangyin and even Xiangzhou, and you go to Zhen Ding has been in the army and can be regarded as a man who has seen the world. If he is valued by the King of Zhenbei, he can be made his wife Yinzi!"

Suddenly, a slightly plump figure flashed out of the room and asked in a low voice: "It turns out that Uncle Tang Huai is here... Why don't you invite me to the room for a bowl of water?"

Tang Huai's face froze and he quickly replied: "Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness, I will leave after chatting with my brother for a few words..."

Yue Pengju's wife, Yue Liu, brought a basin of water from the water tank to Tang Huai. Tang Huai had no choice but to take it with both hands and thank him again.

While Tang Huai was drinking water, Mrs. Yue Liu asked for details, and Tang Huai had to tell the whole story.

Mrs. Yue Liu nodded and said: "I heard that people in the army also rely on recommendations. Farmers like us, no matter how good they are, can only die without making money..."

Tang Huai immediately knew that the Yue Liu family was still pestering Yue Pengju to join the Dare Warriors in Zhending and not make enough money to return home after a year, so there was still a meanness in his words.

Seeing Yue Pengju's serious expression, Tang Huai felt even more embarrassed. He quickly put the pot on the mound and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this time you are not joining the army, but serving as an official in the county. You don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, but you can still do it." It's a good thing to take care of the children nearby... By the way, I have to go to the other brothers and let them know so I won't bother you."

After Mrs. Yue Liu said some polite words, Tang Huai hurriedly left. She turned to her husband and asked: "Brother Tang Huai has always been shrewd and would not talk nonsense. In this county, if my husband can be a fast-moving yamen servant, he can earn a lot of money all year round." Some money and food to support the family..."

"All I have learned is the art of battle in the army. If I apply for a job as a police officer, wouldn't I be living up to my master's teachings?" Yue Pengju felt a little tired.

Mrs. Yue Liu complained with a bit of resentment: "Husband, I married you not to eat or clothe you, but in this family there are elders and younger ones, and there is still one in the belly, and one more table to eat." Mouth. The year before last, my grandpa went away. He pawned all the valuable things in the family for medical treatment and funeral arrangements. Now we are struggling and suffering from floods. If we don’t find a serious job, how can the family live in the future? "

Tears flowed down as he spoke, and he couldn't help covering his face and sobbing.

Yue Pengju was also a good man, but a hundred steelmaking efforts could not withstand his wife's complaints. Thinking about the years of running around to join the army, but now he could not even eat enough, he felt guilty and speechless.

In the end, he could only nod his head and said, "That's all, Yun'er, mother, don't cry. Tomorrow I will go to apply with Tang Huai and the others!"

When Yue Liu heard this, he finally stopped crying, and asked: "Then you must stop thinking about joining the army!"

"Well, I won't join the army anymore!"

Mrs. Yue Liu became happy then, leaned in her husband's arms, and whispered about her imagination of what it would be like to be an official in the future.

There was no talking all night. In the morning mist, Yue Pengju had already practiced fists, feet, swords and guns. After scrubbing at the pond, he took his family to the porridge shed to wait for the porridge to be put out.

Tang Huai and other young people were also waiting for porridge. When he saw Pengju's family, Tang Huai shouted: "Pengju, come here!"

Mrs. Yue Liu took one look at the huge crowd and asked in surprise: "Why are there so many people today?"

Tang Huai explained: "The King of Zhenbei issued an order: From now on, the chopsticks must not be inserted into the porridge, otherwise the supervisors will be ordered to do hard labor on that day! After hearing the news, those who were not affected by the disaster also came from all over the country, and there were so many people! "

Mrs. Yue Liu asked strangely: "The government doesn't even check?"

Tang Huai shook his head and said: "How to check this? The King of Zhenbei confiscated the property of those corrupt officials yesterday. There must be no shortage of money. Anyway, everyone has a share."

Yue Pengju seemed to have something to say, but he held back, but his son Yue Yun smelled the aroma of rice porridge, and he couldn't help crying hungry, and wanted to run to the front to get the porridge first.

Yue Fei's mother immediately held her grandson's little hand and said, "Yun'er, be good, abide by the rules and be patient."

Tang Huai turned to pointing to the field on the other side of the city gate, and said to Yue Pengju: "Brother, look over there, it is a temporary school martial arts field. It is said that there will be tests on boxing, archery, equestrian skills, as well as literacy and writing, all of which are open to the public. Assessment, merit-based admission! Let’s eat porridge and apply together, right?”

Yue Pengju saw that there were already crowds of people there, and there were cheers from time to time. It should be that someone applied for the evaluation. Unlike Tang Huai and others who were eager to try, he had a mentality of coming and going.

Tang Huai came earlier, and not long after, everyone also received the porridge. It was indeed thick rice porridge, and each person also had a tablespoon of pickles, which was an inexplicable surprise.

After eating and drinking, everyone went to the school martial arts field and the registration office. Yue Pengju was No. 130-130, and Tang Huai was No. [-]-[-].

The person in charge of the security of the school martial arts field is Ma Weitian. His authentic Xiangzhou dialect makes everyone very friendly.

Soon the gossip spread. Even though he was over forty years old, he was already the battalion commander of the Special Forces of the Zhenguo Army. He was in charge of the best of the two hundred elites, and he had even won a gold medal!

Xiangzhou has become a practice of martial arts, and young and strong people all have a foundation in kung fu. Every time ten recruits play at the same time, the opponents are all members of the special forces team. One-on-one, after a few moves, the level of martial arts of the recruits can be judged.

After half a year of physical fitness and grappling training, the special forces' moves were simple and effective, so most of the recruits were knocked to the ground neatly, which made people dare not underestimate the Zhenguo Army's special forces.

Ma Weitian memorized the best players from the previous game, and shouted: "Play from 130 to 140!" Tang Huai hurriedly dragged Yue Pengju and his companions onto the field.

Mrs. Yue Liu reminded her husband: "Husband, let's compete!"

After Yue Yun had eaten, he became lively and shouted: "Master, I want to win!"

Having seen the skills of special forces members, Yue Pengju, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, knew what he was doing and nodded with a smile.

The newcomer came on the field, and after winning many games in a row, the ten special teams players on the opposite side began to look down upon each other, and even laughed at each other.

"If you don't defeat your opponent in three moves, go back and wash your underwear for me!"

"This is too unchallenging! Just two moves are enough!"

However, Yue Pengju's skills were extraordinary. After all, he was Zhou Tong's direct disciple, and Tang Huai, who competed with Yue Pengju on a daily basis, was not weak either.

Therefore, after seven or eight moves, Tang Huai saw the opportunity to knock down his opponent, but Yue Pengju always kept in touch with his opponent and grasped the timing just right.

Ma Weitian ended the fist and kick evaluation of this game and gave Yue Peng the evaluation of the armor and Tang Huaijia.

Next is shooting. Ten players are also on the field, and each player has three chances.

Yue Pengju once again received an upper-A rating, while Tang Huai only received an upper-B rating.

In equestrianism, many people have no chance to ride a horse, including Tang Huai. However, Yue Fei galloped freely on the horse like clouds and flowing water, and once again got a top shot.

In terms of literacy, the applicants were even worse than in equestrian skills. There was not even one B among the ten, but Yue Pengju once again won the first.

A rare person actually appeared in a small place like Tangyin!

The entire school martial arts field was in a sensation, and many people recognized that this young hero was Zhou Tong's disciple Yue Pengju.

Han Xiaoyao, who was sitting on the rostrum, learned from the start of equestrian that No. 130 Six was Yue Pengju. Looking at the opponent's patched clothes, he was filled with emotion.

Tang Huai and others gathered around Yue Pengju and returned to his mother-in-law and Yue Liu family, and said excitedly: "This time Pengju won the first place! Either a soldier or a headhunter, my aunt will enjoy the blessings from now on!"

My mother-in-law was also very satisfied and accepted the congratulations and flattery from all the folks with a smile.

Yue Yun shouted: "I won the battle, I am the most powerful!"

Mrs. Yue Liu's face was full of joy. She took out a cloth to wipe her husband's sweat: "Husband, you are very proud today! Thank you for your hard work!"

Ma Weitian presented the list of outstanding candidates and their results to Han Xiaoyao: "Please see the list of military personnel in Tangyin County. If there is no doubt about the rank, the list will be announced immediately!"

Han Xiaoyao took a look, took a pen to make a few comments, and handed it back to Ma Weitian.

Ok?
Ma Weitian's expression was quite exciting. He hesitated for a moment, and without daring to ask any more questions, he went down to ask someone to write a red list and post it at the city gate.

"Let's release the list!"

As the big red list was revealed in front of everyone, almost everyone was surprised to find that it was not Yue Pengju who served as a soldier and leader, and his name was not even among the thirty military personnel.

what the hell?

Although Mrs. Yue Liu was illiterate, she tasted the bad results from the silence and asked tremblingly: "Husband, do you have any position?"

Tang Huai saw that he was included in the list of arrests. He couldn't believe that Yue Pengju, who was ranked among the top five, was not included in the list?

In complete silence, Tang Huai suddenly turned around and ran towards the school martial arts field.

"I'm going to argue with them. We can't bully my brother like this!"
