015 Chapeng Gossip (Part 1)
Hu You set out from the east of Mengzhou, headed north along the Jiujiang River, the largest river in the empire, and passed through the entire Yanzhou. It took eighteen days to arrive at Letong City in Qingzhou...com
Letong City, Dongdu and Xilin are known as the three major cities of Qingzhou. The city lord Sima Shou was the eldest son of the Sima family of the Empire. He had three guards and had 30,000 troops. Letong City is located at the junction of Qingyan Prefectures and is a must-pass place for Qingzhou. The two states are transported and the geographical position is very critical and has always been a place that military strategists must fight for.
When Hu You arrived in Letong City, he did not see any announcement of recruitment, so he walked forward with a smile and asked the gatekeeper for information. In his opinion, soldiers from the same state must know where the recruitment was.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Hu You was drunk by the soldiers before he got close.
"Hehe, don't get me wrong. I want to ask Jun Ye for something." Hu You bowed with a smile on his face.
"What's the matter?" asked the soldier.
"I'm sorry, I want to know where the Storm Legion recruits soldiers?"
"I don't know, let's go." The soldiers guarding the city drove Hu You away like flying.
Don’t know? Hu You didn’t believe that this soldier would not know about this. Along the way, Hu You not only inquired about it, but had already confirmed that the Qingzhou Storm Army was recruiting troops. When he reached the ground, how could this soldier not know?
Oh, I think I want some ‘asking money for directions’.
Hu You touched his body, took out a few copper coins and held them in his hands, revealing a little bit, allowing the sergeant to see it, and then stepped forward again.
This time the soldier did even more. Before Hu You could speak, he pointed the big gun in his hand and said, "I told you to leave, have you heard it? Swaying here again, be careful that I will arrest you as a spy."
"It's from Mala Gobi, I can't tell that this kid is still a clean official. I don't even want to give it money." Hu You cursed in his heart and could only walk away with his nose.
"Young man, you want to ask about the place where the Storm Legion recruits are recruited. No need to ask, the guardians will not tell you." An old man from Chengjiao said to Hu You.
"Why, is this still a military secret?" Hu You asked in confusion.
"Don't ask too much about this. If you want to join the Storm Legion, go to Zhaimeng Town."
"Zhaimeng Town?"
"Yes, cross Letong City and head west, about two days away."
"Oh, thank you for your advice. I have a little meaning, it's just a kid who invites you to have a bowl of tea." Hu You said as he handed over the copper in his hand.
"Haha, young man, put it away. I am not for your copper coins." The old man shook his hand and smiled.
"This..." Hu You then carefully observed the old man. He saw that the old man was wearing a cloth clothes, his hair was white, but his spirit was flickering, which was a bit of a kind of ancient meaning.
Seeing the old man, Hu You couldn't help but think of his master. Although his master was not good to him, he had raised him for many years. Although he often scolded him behind his back, the two of them were separated for two lives and they probably wouldn't have a chance to meet again in this life.
"Old man, the sun is violent here, so we might as well sit in the tea trousers over there together. How can you see?" Hu You saw that the old man should be a local, so he decided to learn about the situation on him first. Otherwise, he would bump around like a headless fly. If he violated any taboos, he would be troublesome.
The old man looked up and down at Hu You, nodded and said, "It just so happens that I'm a little thirsty."
After the old man finished speaking, he started to leave. Maybe he was old and his legs were not very good, so he kicked out a shoe.
Hu You reacted quickly, and took two steps up, picked up the shoes, ran to the old man's feet and put them on. After doing it, Hu You reacted and cursed in his heart. But then he thought, he would rather forget it. He had helped his master do such things in the past. Anyway, he wouldn't have the chance to see that bastard master again in this life, even if it was the last time he helped his master wear shoes.
It turns out that Master Hu You has a problem with his feet, and he often suddenly ignores his shoes, and he always likes to step on them, so every time he slaps, his shoes will fly out. Hu You has done this kind of shoe picking up and wearing shoes since he was a child, and has become a habitual reaction since he was a child.
Of course, Hu You was unhappy to do this. But every time he pretended to be invisible, his master would change his appearance and come up with some ways to punish him - for example, take him to test the medicine.
The old man didn't know that Hu You had such a past event, nor did he know what Hu You were cursing in his heart. When he put on his shoes, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he returned to peace.
The shoes were kicked out by the old man on purpose. He sat by the city gate every day. When he was sitting at the city gate soldiers, the other person would answer the soldiers who had been stolen and would create such an opportunity to kick out the shoes. In the past, they would never rebel. Today, someone helped to pick them up. This is the first time.
The old man's surname is Shi and calls himself Taishi Gong. In his life, he could not write a pen to comfort the world, and in martial arts could not make up the world. The gangster was just a teacher with a strange temper for most of his life. His biggest hobby in his life was to study history books. In his spare time, he would compile interesting things he saw from history books into small stories, and tell them to the children in his spare time.
He always stubbornly believed that history is repetitive. As long as he learned the things in history books, he could become a talent for governing the country and ensuring national stability. Unfortunately, most of the students who listened to his stories were **-year-olds, so how could they understand the hidden meaning of his stories? As for **, most of them would not pay attention to him. Whenever he talked about his theory with others, others either ignored him or ridiculed him for not exchanging historical books for glory and wealth, and was still teaching here.
The two of them came to the teapeng, found the head of the coupon close to the moat, and sat down. Hu You walked north and used almost all the money he had on him. He just wanted to simply ask for a pot of tea and two snacks. Who knew that when ordering things, the old man said:
"It's hot this day, so it's better to moisten your throat."
Hu You was stunned when he heard this, thinking that on this hot day, drinking to moisten your throat? Why don’t you just say you want to drink?
Hu You is not a very careful person with money, and he has been very tired after traveling for days. It is better to drink some wine than to drink tea. So he simply asked the store to bring two pots of good wine and a few dishes.
Hu You came to Tianfeng Continent, drank wine at Wang Fugui's house and brewed wine in Huangfu, but he didn't know much about the wine in this continent.
The wine you like in every place in Tianfeng Continent is different. The wine you drink in Qingzhou is very different from other places. Because Qingzhou is colder in winter, most people here are used to drinking strong wine. After sip, their whole body will be warm and can resist the cold.
Because the wine is too strong, people here usually drink wine, but talk about the cup. It is enough to have a cup of one or two cups. Hu You doesn't understand it. He thought the wine here is similar to the water and wine in Mengzhou, so he ordered a pot.
The old man, Taishigong, temporarily changed tea to wine, and he had the intention of further testing Hu You. When Hu You called two pots of wine, he liked it in his heart. People who do academics often had a little alternative to their affairs. He only thought that Hu You wanted to be generous, but he had never thought about whether he could drink the next pot of wine.
Taishi Gong has no objection, and the store owner will not. Business people hope to make more money. There is no idle customer who wants more, but only those who hate customers for being stingy.
The wine and food came soon. Hu You filled the wine with Shi Gong, and then poured himself a glass of wine. As soon as the wine was in his mouth, he felt hot. Fortunately, he had drunk a lot of strong wine when he was wandering around the world with his master, so he could bear the wine.
The two of them were drinking and chatting. When they were half drunk, they were almost talking. Hu You suddenly raised his voice and said, "Old man, I first arrived in Letong. I don't understand many things very well. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
The Grand Historian had several tests of self-concern, but Hu You did well, so he had a good impression of Hu You. He knew that Hu You invited him to drink, so he must have something to ask him, so he was waiting here.
Seeing Hu You speak, Tai Shigong shook his head slowly, picked up a piece of Letong's famous oil cake, bit it slowly, and then drank the wine in his hand, smelled the wine, and then said, "Brother Hu just ask if you have something to do."
