Journey as a Boy Chapter 20: The Boy in Brocade

Outside the palace gate, Zhang Fu saw Zhang Ren running hard from a distance. He shook his head and secretly said that Ren's temper was a bit irritable.

Who would have thought that Zhang Ren ran up to him but had no intention of stopping. Instead, he waved at Zhang Fu and disappeared in a flash.

Zhang Ren ran all the way to the market, figuring Han Qin wouldn't catch up, so he stopped.

It is spring now. After a whole winter's hibernation, the sky is more energetic after the spring flowers bloom. There is an endless stream of people coming and going in the shops on both sides of the street, and the sound of hawking along the street is endless.

Zhang Ren is not very keen on shopping, but he likes to immerse himself in it and feel the prosperity of the world. When he walks to the snack street, just a gentle breath is enough to make people move their index fingers. The smell of food in the air makes Zhang Ren salivate.

, if you close your eyes and only use your sense of hearing and smell to experience the world, it will be difficult to tell which era you are in now. This can more or less eliminate the gap between Zhang Ren and this era.

Zhang Ren was not interested in those fancy foods. Meat was his favorite. Zhang Ren walked along the street and stopped when he came to a mutton burrito stall. Although it was not a meal at this time, there were still people queuing up in front of the stall.

Although he was a noble son, Zhang Ren was still politely placed at the end of the queue.



People, there will always be times when life is unsatisfactory, just like Liu Erbing, he felt that his life was very unsatisfactory.

Liu Erbing was a child of a wealthy family in Hedong. His family had a lot of fertile land and also ran some businesses. His father saw that he was not doing anything serious all day long, and he was not the material for studying, so he did not know how much trouble he had.

Later, it happened that Jinyiwei Town Fusi was recruiting young people with innocent backgrounds. Ordinary people would not let their children go to Jinyiwei, which was despised by everyone, even if they had a mouthful of food. The reputation of Jinyiwei in those years was indeed not very good.

.

For this reason, Jin Yiwei did not recruit many people. At this time, Liu Erbian's father sent Liu Erbian to the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, which everyone hated. He did not seek to become a master in the future, but only wanted to become an official.

Good health.

Although Liu Erbing's family is rich, his biggest problem is that he is stingy. He would like to break a coin in half and use it in half. His biggest hobby in life is saving money. To be honest, Liu Erbing is not a person without great ambitions.

After entering the Zhenfu Division, he wanted to be like a master, so that when he returned home during the New Year, his parents would look good.

But looking at his thin body and unwillingness to practice martial arts hard, what should I do? Naturally, he has to think of some evil ways.

The young men in Jinyi in the Zhenfu Division will hold a competition every other month. This is Liu Erbing's opportunity. Except for him, the rest of these young men in Jinyi are not very wealthy. This also allows Liu Erbing to find

A breakthrough.

Before a competition, Liu Erbing would always bribe the brothers and sisters around him. Usually, it only took a few pennies to make the other party surrender. Although the money spent made Liu Erbing's heart bleed, he would always tell himself,

This is an investment. As long as you succeed in the future, are you afraid that you won’t be able to earn back the money you spend today?

Liu Erbing has never lost a fight since he entered the Zhenfu Division. As time goes by, the secret will inevitably be revealed. Liu Erbing can only change his excuse. It's not that I don't want to fight, but that our martial arts are too high and I'm afraid of hurting all the junior brothers.

Come on, junior brother, take these few coins. For the sake of junior brother's life, junior brother, how about you just admit defeat?

Most of these young men in Jinyi were honest and honest, but they actually believed it. Word of mouth spread the word and made Liu Erbing famous among the young people in Jinyi. A group of junior brothers even called him "Elder Brother Zhenfusi".

Seeing that it was the day of the competition again in a few days, Liu Erbing started to bribe others again. He held a few copper coins tightly in his palms, but his heart couldn't help but bleed. He had to spend money again. Life is really...

So unsatisfactory.

Liu Erbing turned around and patted another young man on the shoulder, and said: "Junior Brother Xi, in a few days we will meet each other in the first round of the martial arts competition. As you know, Senior Brother, I have profound skills, so there is no guarantee that I will not be injured."

You, since it is a competition, I am going for the top spot, and senior brother, I am also in a dilemma, for fear that I will hurt you unconsciously, which will be troublesome and troublesome."

Junior Brother Xi scratched his head and said, "Senior Brother Liu, I guess I can't beat you, so why don't I just admit defeat when we compete."

Liu Erbing felt happy in his heart, but he still had to make a reluctant expression, "Junior Brother Xi, you have to use all your strength in this competition. You don't have to belittle yourself. There is no way you can beat me, so why admit defeat?"

Junior Brother Xi looked at Liu Erbing with at least three points of admiration in his eyes. He just heard him say: "Senior Brother Liu has always been invincible. He still knows how much I weigh. If I have that strength, I will definitely fight with him.

Senior Brother Liu has a competition, but now I am not strong enough. Firstly, I don’t want to make a fool of myself in public, and secondly, I am really afraid of getting hurt. It won’t be a shame to just admit defeat when the time comes.”

Looking at Liu Erbing again, he pretended to have a look of pity, and finally sighed and said: "Hey, junior brother, this is a wise choice. Senior brother, I am also regretful that I couldn't have a good fight with junior brother. This way

Well, senior brother invited me to have these mutton burritos today."

It happened to be a coincidence that when Zhang Ren bought the mutton burrito, he happened to be in line behind them. The scene just now made Zhang Ren see it clearly. He thought to himself that Senior Brother Liu only looked at the thinness of his body, and he didn't really look like him.

He looks like a master, is it possible that Junior Brother Xi is so easy to fool?

The queue quickly reached Liu Erbing. Even though it was just a roadside stall, Liu Erbing, who was stingy, still had a good bargain with the stall owner.

Zhang Ren behind this scene looked fresh, and he burst out laughing unconsciously.

Just this laugh annoyed Liu Erbing and Junior Brother Xi.

Junior Brother Xi opened his eyes angrily and asked Zhang Ren, "Why are you smiling?"

Liu Erbing next to him also smiled coldly, with an extremely arrogant attitude: "Be careful of provoking the wrong people."

Although the Jinyiwei Zhenfusi is feared, in the final analysis Liu Erbing and Xi Yuechen are just young men in Jinyi without official status. In addition, the Jinyiwei has gradually declined in the past two years. It is really not easy for the name of the young man in Jinyi in the Yingtian Mansion where there are many powerful people.

Bluffing.

Liu Erbing was very smart. He knew that there were too many people in Yingtian Mansion that he could not afford to offend, but he determined that a young man waiting in line at a roadside stall like him could not be a son of a powerful person.

Zhang Ren didn't mean to laugh just now, but he felt that he was not very polite, so he could only scratch his head and said: "I'm really sorry, it's all a misunderstanding."

Seeing Zhang Ren apologizing to him, Liu Erbing was even more certain that Zhang Ren was not a son of a powerful person. He raised his head and said, "Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding in front of Jinyiwei Zhenfusi!"
