Chapter 11 Willing to Gamble and Admit Loss
That night, this imperial guards competition was finally completed. Some people were happy and worried, because a group of people successfully passed the competition and were promoted. Some people continued to be soldiers again and did not get promotion. The one who gained the most profit was Chen Fei, a civil servant, who obtained a title. This title means that he would become a person in the ruling class in the future, and he also obtained a title that is more rare than an official position. It is easy to obtain an official position, but it is not easy to obtain a title. When Chen Fei obtained a title, Chen Fei felt that he had made a profit. He just provided a pulley bow technology, so he obtained a title, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I am afraid that all kinds of patents in later generations would not be so profitable. Therefore, Chen Fei was very satisfied with the current situation.
"Chen Jun, oh no, Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen, congratulations, now I am the Lord of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhu Chunlin said.
Chen Fei immediately said modestly: "It depends on the emperor's appreciation. And you should have been promoted this time, right?"
Zhu Chunlin immediately said: "This time Lao Lu and I have been promoted, but we may have to be released. Among the left guards, we cannot be promoted. Next, we should be released to the right guard and then serve as the head of the Zhechong Mansion team. However, we should be leading the cavalry and becoming the head of the cavalry team."
"Haha, congratulations, all of them have been improved!" Chen Fei also congratulated.
If Zhu Chunlin and Lu Chen were just elites among soldiers in the past, equivalent to non-commissioned officers, they would have truly entered the class of leading troops. They have now become team leaders, one team was organized by the Tang Dynasty, and in later generations there were more than 30 platoon leaders. However, they would go to the Right Guard, and there were a group of cavalry under the Right Guard, and they would also lead cavalry. Cavalry was a very high-ranking army in ancient times, so they were not only promoted, but also changed their troops and could become cavalry. In ancient times, who did not pay attention to cavalry? If they could become cavalry, they would probably be given priority promotion in the future.
"Hey, but you're leaving, I'm going to be lonely next." Chen Fei sighed and said.
Chen Fei was quite happy for the promotion of these two buddies. But now these two buddies are leaving, which makes Chen Fei a little helpless. However, Chen Fei will not stop the other party's future, otherwise what else can he call him a buddy! After all, they will officially enter the official career in the future, and their future may be better.
"Lingling..."
There was a sound of armor rubbing, and a man in general looked like a general came to Chen Fei's tent in armor.
"General Chang Zhonglang?" Zhu Chunlin asked in surprise.
This person is Chang He, the general responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate of the North Gate. Now Chang He came to Chen Fei's tent seriously, not knowing what he was going to do. The people at the scene were also nervous, not knowing what Chang He wanted to do. Could it be that he was angry and wanted to kill someone to silence him?
Ten days ago, Chen Fei and Chang He made a bet that Chen Fei could pull the nine stone bow, so Chang He would not care about Zhu Chunlin and others' violations of military rules. And even Chang He said that if Chen Fei could pull the nine stone bow, then Chang He would take the initiative to become sworn brothers with Chen Fei, and even recognize Chen Fei as his eldest brother.
At that time, Chang He didn't think Chen Fei could pull it away at all, so no matter what method Chen Fei used, as long as he pulled the Jiushi Bow, Chen Fei won. But now Chen Fei used the pulley group to pull the Jiushi Bow, I'm afraid Chang He would not be able to accept it. And Chang He came here now, did he want to deal with Chen Fei, or wanted to kill someone to silence him, and did not admit the bet at that time?
Chen Fei didn't think that Chang He would really become a sworn brother with him, and even recognized himself as his elder brother. Chang He was a dignified fourth-rank general, so how could he be surrendered to become a sworn brother with an eighth-rank official? Moreover, he also recognized a younger person to be a big brother, which was obviously impossible. Therefore, now Chang He came, Chen Fei believed that no good thing would happen.
"Brother!" Chang He suddenly knelt down on one knee at Chen Fei.
This scene immediately shocked everyone. Chang He did not use a knife and gun, but directly knelt down and called Chen Fei to brother. This made everyone feel a little destructive. Chang He actually gave up? Chang He was willing to accept the loss, which was considered to have given up on Chen Fei.
"General Chang, I was just a joke at that time, so there is no need to take it seriously!" Chen Fei said hurriedly.
Although Chang He called him elder brother, Chen Fei certainly could not recognize him. After all, the other person has different identities and is much higher than himself. If Chen Fei really thought he was willing to accept the loss and forced Chang He to recognize him as his elder brother, this would probably be too ignorant. Therefore, Chen Fei must refuse, otherwise how could Chang He meet people in the future! If Chang He cannot meet people in the future, then he might not have to come to find trouble for himself? This elder brother is simply unbearable, otherwise he will be in trouble.
"No, I am a man, and I spit and nail it. Since I am in front of everyone, it means that as long as you use any method to pull the Jiushi Bow, I will recognize you as my elder brother. Since I said it, I will naturally recognize you, so you will be my elder brother in the future. I will obey you in the future! My Chang He's credibility, from Wagang Village to Luoyang, and now to my Tang Dynasty, don't anyone praise me for my Chang He's credibility when I see me? So, since I said it, I must recognize it." Chang He said.
After hearing this, Chen Fei sighed. This guy was so "silly" cute. However, in later generations, there were fewer and fewer people such "silly". If it were later generations, he would probably immediately take care of his rights and status and could be blamed. But he not only did not deny it, but also took the initiative to recognize himself as his elder brother. This is very rare. People who are so reputable and valued so much are very rare even in this era. No wonder, the ancients said that there are many dog-slaughtering people, and it seems that such brave generals are not without benefits. At least they are very loyal and will not betray their friendship for some small profits. Sometimes, they would rather face death than betray their brothers. This is the ancients' emphasis on love and righteousness, which is much better than everything they look forward to profit in later generations.
"General Chang He Zhonglang, it is my honor to be able to become a sworn brother with General Chang He. But..." Chen Fei wanted to say a few words.
