Chapter 508: Today's Servant Tomorrow's King
Zhu Wen wore a red painted mountain armor. Although it was not as dazzling as the golden armor, it was also powerful. In addition, he wore a long red cloak on his shoulders, and he had a certain style. With the great victory in Yucheng, Zhu Wen, a local general from Songzhou, was also spread. Therefore, as soon as he appeared, countless people on the court cheered him loudly.
Zhu Wen did not let down the bullying of everyone and performed well. The first person to play, he immediately beat a hunter who was over seven or eight in height and had a few moves and won.
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Xiao performed very well, defeating their first round opponents one after another.
Ten people were on stage and competed at the same time, and ten people were eliminated at one time. More than a thousand people were eliminated. Fifty rounds were played, and half of the people were eliminated soon.
The ring matches were all the time. They were either knocked off the ring, or they were knocked down and suppressed, and could not hurt their lives, so they compared quickly. Li Jing sat on the referee's seat and watched the game carefully. This time, the ring match was much more exciting than Li Jing expected. After playing for a long time, he had already recorded more than ten warrior numbers on the paper in front of him. These people performed well and played very well. What's more important is that these people were very young, which made Li Jing unable to help but feel the desire to attract talents.
In the middle of several rounds of rings, polo competitions were also held. Each polo team was very famous, from various big clans in Songzhou. The sound of horse hooves roared, trampling the flat temporary polo court on the other side of the competition field to a more flattened. The town ** also sent a polo team to participate in the competition, and the performance was also eye-catching.
The ladies and daughters behind the gauze tent in the stands were also fascinated by the sight. At this time, they ignored their identity and shouted loudly behind the tent. Seeing the players colliding with each other, the clubs shattered and the cavalry fell off their horses, Zhang Hui clamped her eyes like a frightened little girl. She always thought that she was brave and the daughter of the official family should show restraint, but whenever the intense scene appeared, she still couldn't help but clamp her eyes and didn't dare to watch.
In the middle of another round of ring matches, Li Jing personally rode a horse and carried the moon stick.
But this time it was not a competition, but Li Jing's performance.
A sergeant brought forty-nine copper coins, placed them forty steps away from the goal, and stacked them together.
Li Jing rode a horse and galloped over, slamming the moon stick with one hand, and then with a buzzing crisp sound, the top of the copper coin was knocked out. The copper coin drew an arc and flew forty steps away, directly passing through a hole of one foot, and then landed on a few distances behind.
The soldier ran back to the stack of copper coins, clicked and shouted loudly: "There are still forty-eight copper coins left!"
The onlookers outside the field couldn't help but exclaim when they heard this. They only hit the top copper coin at one time. Not only did they hit the goal forty steps away, but they did not disrupt the copper coin below.
Polo was a sport that was popular throughout the Tang Dynasty. Not only the nobles like to participate, but the people also like to watch it. No one expected that Li Jing, a coach with such an identity, would have such skills, and everyone was amazed.
Just when everyone thought the performance was over, Li Jing had already rode his horse back and waved another shot.
After finishing this time, Li Jing did not stop, but kept swinging back and swinging back.
After playing for a while, Li Jing finally rode his horse back to the sidelines.
In the stands, Zhang Hui in the tent shouted excitedly: "Forty-eighty, he hit forty-eight more!"
Zhang Rui didn't have the heart to think about the things between his daughter and Li Jing at this time. He was so excited that he was thinking in his heart, could Li Jing...
At this time, behind the goal on the field, a sergeant walked over and shouted, "Forty-nine copper coins stacked together!"
This sentence was shouted, and everyone screamed excitedly. This is so hard to believe in.
Zhang Rui didn't care about his identity at this time, so he walked out of the tent and walked under the goal with many other people with identities to watch. Sure enough, a stack of copper coins were piled together and counted carefully. It was really forty-nine cents. Countless people looked here just now, and they had never done anything. Moreover, Li Jing beat so many times, and there were no scattered copper coins beside him.
It's God!
The onlookers, who were confirmed by officials, were even more amazed that Li Dashuai's polo skills were really amazing.
Li Jing's round of football performance directly brought the atmosphere on the field to **.
After the performance, the ring match continued, and soon the top ten players were decided on the field.
Among these ten people, four were the lower-level officers of the town, and six were the people who came to participate in the competition. They were all quite young. It seemed that none of them were over twenty years old.
Li Jing called these ten generals forward. The officers above all the towns were not allowed to participate in the competition. These four were all team leaders. Two were newly recruited soldiers and two were Golden Armored Army. Li Jing thought about it carefully and saw that all four of them were outstanding. He was happy at the moment and directly announced that the four of them would be promoted to the team leader and gave them 100 cents of money.
The remaining six were still young men. They stood in front of Li Jing but were not afraid. They were calm and calm and calm, and they could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people.
"How about the six young heroes better than to report their names?" Li Jing asked with a smile.
"Wang Tan, whose courtesy name is Zhongmei, is from Jingzhao. He is fifteen years old this year. He likes to read military books and is a good idea of strategy. His great-grandfather was named Li, the General of the Left Jinwu Guard and the Longzhou Defense Envoy. His ancestor was named Yao, and he was a hero of Dingnan. He was named Yi and the envoy of Weiqiao Zhenyi. His father was named Huan and the Minister of the Honglu."
One of the handsome, fair and tall boys with faces stood up first and shouted to himself.
When Li Jing saw that he was a handsome talent, he liked him a little bit, and saw that he was very talkative and calm, he liked him even more. When he heard that he was still a noble official, his ancestors were all senior officials for three generations, but when he saw him coming to fight, he knew that when he arrived, he should be no longer as noble as before.
"Oh, you are actually a hero after you come to fight, do you want to join my town?"
Wang Tan nodded and knelt down at Li Jing on one knee, "Please include the Grand Marshal. Tan is willing to serve the Grand Marshal!"
Li Jing happily reached out and helped Wang Tan up, "Okay, I will give you the position of Deputy Captain of the Accompaniment of Rong and serve as the Chief of the Golden Armor Army. Are you willing?"
"Will!" Although he was just a gang leader, Wang Tan did not show any disappointment.
After Wang Tan, another young man reported his name.
"My name is Li Si'an, with his courtesy name Lu Chen. He is also fifteen years old this year. He is from Chenliu, Henan. I also want to follow the general and be a front guard." Li Si'an Chang was very tall, taller than Li Jing, and had a majestic appearance. However, compared to Wang Tan's white, he was extremely dark. Although this young man had no noble family background, his performance on the ring just now was very liked by Li Jing. He immediately took the account and gave him the position of deputy lieutenant Rong and the chief lieutenant, and like Wang Tan and others, he was given a hundred stagnant of money.
The remaining four teenagers were named Gao Jichang, Dong Zhang, Wang Yanqiu, and Liu Zhen. They were all fourteen years old, but they were also very talkative. However, when Li Jing asked them if they were willing to join the army, the few were hesitant.
"What, isn't it good to join the town?" This was the first time Li Jing saw someone hesitating about joining the town.
The young man named Gao Jichang said very politely: "Please forgive me for your crimes. It's not that we don't want it, but that we are not free. We have to ask the head of the family for this matter."
Li Jing was slightly stunned. Looking at the heroic spirit of these four young men, he thought they were from a noble family, but unexpectedly got this answer. After asking a few more questions, he found out that the four people actually came together, and not only were not children of aristocratic families, but were just servants.
Li Jing was really surprised when he heard this result. The mere four young servants were so extraordinary, which really made Li Jing very interested in their heads.
"Can your head be here?" Li Jing asked.
"The head of the family is on the stands."
Li Jing was not surprised when he heard that he was in the stands. The people in the stands were all very identifiable people. If he had four such outstanding servants, his status would definitely be great.
"I want to get to know your head and ask Yi to meet you." Li Jing is very interested in this person now.
Gao Jichang turned around and left, and soon came with a man.
He was also a young man, about twenty years old, about the same age as Li Jing himself. However, he had a sense of temperament and a kind of elegant temperament.
As soon as he arrived in front of Li Jing, the young man immediately bowed and bowed: "Li Rang, Kaifeng, Bianzhou, pays homage to the general!"
Li Jing looked at Li Rang carefully, wearing a white silk robe and a square scarf on his head. His whole body was spotless and a bit extraordinary. When he heard the name Li Rang, Li Jing always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
Zhang Rui was also standing behind Li Jing at this time. He saw that Li Jing did not know Li Rang's identity, so he whispered to him: "Li Rang, known as Li Qilang, is the richest man in Bianzhou, with a wealth of tens of millions. He is also known as benevolent and righteous. He loves to help the countryside and help the poor and the needy. He is known as Xiao Mengchang. This time Li Qilang came from Kaifeng, Bianzhou to pay homage to the general and see the general's majesty."
When Li Jing heard the name Li Qilang, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered who Li Qilang was.
Li Qilang and Li Rang. In history, after Zhu Wen obtained Xuanwu, Li Qilang finally defected to Zhu Wen and became Zhu Wen's adopted son, Zhu Yourang. He used his millions of wealth to help Zhu Wen, allowing Zhu Wen to obtain the capital to stabilize Xuanwu in the early stage.
As soon as he understood Li Qilang's identity, Li Jing immediately thought of the four young servants. In history, Li Qilang's four servants were not simple, and they all became generals of the Later Liang Dynasty. Especially Gao Jichang, who later changed his name to Gao Jixing, became the founding monarch of Nanping, the country of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
