Chapter 83 Autumn Rain
Chen Mu could see that Deng Zilong was here to relax.

But what Chen Mu didn't understand was that he had been treated unfairly. There were so many actors' restaurants in the bustling Guangzhou Mansion ten miles away. Why did Deng Zilong travel hundreds of miles to such a corner of Qingyuanwei to find his mere district general flag? Come drink.

"In Guangcheng, people seem to be watching jokes, and it doesn't make me happy to stay there." Deng Zilong waved his hand, took a small jar of Qingcheng old wine and drank two mouthfuls, sat cross-legged with a little drunkenness, stretched his finger to the outside of the yamen, and said: "It's better Here, you can see what the guard looks like, the future is uncertain, can we talk about comfort?"

"We are not civil servants, and there is no one in our hometown to build a memorial archway or a shrine for us, but the military family members cannot be beaten." Deng Zilong seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to explain himself. "

What Chen Mu saw in his eyes was that Deng Zilong was holding the small wine jar on the ground and saddened, but what he thought in his heart was that Deng on the side of the Xinjiang River killed the commander-in-chief battalion all over the place.

"Actually, I know about your stay in Guangcheng. A few days ago, the flag officers under my command went to buy horses in Guangcheng. I heard about it." Chen Mu took a sip from the wine bowl, then looked at Deng Zilong and said, "You are right, but It might be better if you go with troops.”

After three glasses of wine, Chen Mu didn't hesitate to speak to Deng Zilong, and said casually: "You put down the Nanshan bandits in Xinjiang Town, and fought bloody battles with the rebels by the Xinjiang River. Your military exploits are enough to raise your defense."

Deng Zilong didn't speak, so why didn't he understand that the promotion to the garrison has greatly increased his powers, and he was promoted to the deputy thousand households of the guards. On the surface, he was promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, but he was not from the guards. In an environment where the army has been serving for generations, how can it be compared to being on the defensive?

Just a little extra salary?
"You didn't go, but I heard that the military family members who went to the state government office to speak out were still injured, and the doctors in the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau were too busy." Chen Mu shook his head, "If you go to persuade them to leave, maybe no one is injured , I have also obtained the official position of the garrison—don’t feel sorry for yourself, there is nothing wrong with the deputy thousand households, and you can only be considered an official if you are promoted to a hundred households in the guard!"

It's not that Chen Mu didn't want to continue talking, but he suddenly realized that it's too disrespectful to put an afterthought at this time, but the afterthought has already been done, so what else can he do except tell him that the guards are not bad?
"You can only be considered an official if you are promoted to a hundred households." Deng Zilong was obviously attracted by Chen Mu's words, and said, "How do you say that?"

Chen Mu is also interested. He has been in this era for more than a year, and he has never had a good chat with anyone. He is either busy practicing martial arts to save his life or busy fighting for his life on the battlefield.Immediately drink a few bowls of wine, talk happily, and simply cross your legs like a treasure.

"It goes without saying that we all know that the guards are weak, but you can see Chen's banner army and Bai Qianhu's barbarians, not to mention the comparison with General Wang Can's soldiers, but the guards." Chen Mu waved his hand, Said: "Which flag army can stop the fight?"

Deng Zilong laughed seeing Chen Mu's pride, but he didn't make a sound.

Chen Mu's tone was exaggerated, but it was within the acceptable range of Deng Zilong. After all, he was young and had little experience.

The world's strong soldiers, not to mention the Nine Sides licking blood to block the Jurchen Banner Army, the Dengzhou Guard who was born in Qi Jiguang is also superb in combat power; even if we only talk about Fujian and Guangzhou, there are still a few guards that can fight.

But I have to say that according to Chen Muqi's combat strength in Xinjiangnan, even against the most powerful guard army in the southeast, the same strength can fight.

Not all soldiers are trained to be strong soldiers, but strong soldiers must have undergone strict and unique drills, and must have experienced hard battles to the death.

"You know how to train soldiers and are brave. You don't need guns or cannons to lead soldiers. You can stab a bloody path with a quick gun and a big knife. You must be better than a battalion officer as a guard officer."

Deng Zilong shook his head, pointed at Chen Mu and said, "I asked, the guards don't just fight wars, the guards are in charge of drills and garrisoning, at most they have the responsibility of patrolling. I'm an old man who can't do anything but fight and kill people. You Chen Zongqi is so good at dancing!"

I, Master Chen, am good at dancing with long sleeves?
"What did you say?"

Chen Mu scratched his face, this Deng Zilong must have drunk too much, Chen Mu is really not a good dancer, how many people did he know after more than a year?I want to cling to the powerful, but Tan Lun hasn't replied to the letter yet, and Yu Dayou hasn't paid attention to him. In the social circle, the negative comments are good, and the banner officials are like brothers, but upwards... ...that's Bai Qianhu.

Maybe there is still a Deng Zilong now.

Deng Zilong suddenly looked at Chen Mu's mood, "General Wang, I gave you the first victory in the Xinjiang battle, Chen Zongqi."

"Ok?"

Chen Mu put down the wine bowl, sneered, and said, "Bai Qianhu and Zhang Baihu did it. They have been working hard in Guangcheng for the past few days."

"I just said a word to General Wang Shen." Chen Muqiang pretended to be serious, and made Wang Rulong's stern expression, wrinkled his decree wrinkles, and said in a rough voice: "General Qi also did the same, using Bamboo, go back and change it, waste!"

Chen Mu imitated Wang Rulong very well, and Deng Zilong hugged the wine jar and laughed heartily, "It's so similar!"

Obviously, even if General Wang Can, who was deeply depressed in prison, led the army in Heyuan later, he would put tremendous pressure on Deng Zilong.

"Don't worry about how the first merit came from, it's better to give it to you than to me, don't care what merit you give me this time, it's all a waste." Deng Zilong's mood improved a bit, or he was relieved, and he lifted the wine jar and poured it into his mouth , wiped his mouth and said: "Hey, I asked Chen Shoubei, I know something about General Wang Shen, do you want to hear it?"

Chen Shoubei, in Chen Mu's impression, Bai Yuanjie seemed to have mentioned that there was a Shoubei named Chen in Guangcheng who was greedy for others.

As for what happened to Wang Rulong, Chen Mu smiled. He was very interested in most stories of this era, but General Wang Shen's temperament was too boring, so he really didn't want to know.

He was a titan, and he didn't get angry, but he was a ruthless character who could make people feel scared right in front of him.

"I would like to know if you, Deng Qianhu, have any skills in riding and shooting. This matter is worrying me to death."

Mr. Chen Jun is still thinking about martial arts. In the martial arts exam, riding and archery is a rigid standard. If he can't change his ability to shoot [-]-step volleys and miss [-] times, he will probably miss martial arts in his life!
"Don't worry about riding and shooting. I'll teach you later, and the "Ji Xiao New Book" will be of great benefit to you. You will make a lot of money with a meal of wine!" Deng Zilong put the wine jar aside and told Chen Mu Said: "General Qi played 30 taels to build a battlefield to keep Japanese pirates at sea. It turned into 300 million taels of military expenditure. It is true that he has not been embezzled, and the money is gone."

"Gone?"

"Well, it's gone. It happened that year that the three main halls of the imperial palace caught fire, and the treasury was short." Deng Zilong poked his hand and smiled, "I don't know where the three million taels were moved. Everyone in the court kept silent. hit the point of the knife."

The sky outside the window was overcast, and the chilly crosswind blew into the room, and the autumn rain began to fall, and heavy rain and fog rose from Qingyuan Mountain in the distance.

Chen Mu was silent for a long time, got up and hugged the orchid on the window sill into the house, the flower branches were broken by the rain and a few long leaves hung down into the soil, like Daming.

The empire is already in turmoil, and everyone knows it.

Winter is coming.

　good morning friends!
