"Sir, Shuofang has sent good news. The Southern Xiongnu Yufuluo tribe has been expelled fifty miles away. Governor Xu asks for instructions on whether to take advantage of the victory and pursue the next step."

"In addition, the Tiger Soul Army also achieved good results in Dingxiang. The General Propaganda Department asked whether Zhang Liao should be the protagonist of the next Dragon and Tiger Ranking. Based on his merits, Captain Zhang is already qualified to enter the War Temple."

"...The carpenters sent to Xuzhou last month have been gradually settled, the shipyard has been set up, and Mr. Huang has already led people to start preparations for the preliminary work of the first sea-going ship."

Wei Cheng yawned and was not very energetic. He glanced at the reporting steward and frowned, "Where's Tian Yuanhao?"

The steward was stunned for a moment, bowed respectfully, and responded: "Mr. Tian and several stewards went outside the city to inspect the preparations for the autumn harvest."

Wei Teng nodded slightly, stood up and said: "You can handle the rest of the matter as you see fit. You don't need to ask me for advice on every matter. Since the Huns have driven away, let them come back; Zhang Liao can enter the War Temple, but it is safe to do so."

For the sake of safety, it is best to have a better opportunity and you can discuss this matter later; as for Xuzhou, you just need to cooperate fully."

The person in charge bowed his hand.

Wei Cheng yawned again and said: "The most important thing right now is the autumn harvest. You will call all the stewards in a while and make sure everyone is energetic. After the autumn harvest, we will reward you based on your merits."

"yes."

After leaving the city's northern health office, Wei Cheng once again became the shopkeeper.

It is absolutely impossible for him to sit in the guardhouse for a day and deal with official duties. It will drive him crazy.

Wei Cheng spent the whole night trying to coax his two precious sons to sleep. He was already very sleepy, let alone doing anything.

"Hailai, go and call Zhongkang (characterized by Xu Chu). Let's go to the hot spring villa in the east of the city to relax."

Dian Wei was about to clasp his fists in response when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

Dian Wei raised his thick eyebrows, turned around to stop the intruder, protected Wei Cheng behind him, and shouted angrily: "Bold!"

"Well, Brother Dian, it's not necessary."

Huang Xu smiled bitterly and saluted Wei Cheng with a fist, and greeted with a playful smile, "Young Master, it's me, hehe."

When Wei Cheng saw it was Huang Xu, he laughed and said, "You are lucky enough to run slowly. If you run faster, I'm afraid you will take action."

Huang Xu looked at Dian Wei's wide-open leopard eyes and said with a guilty conscience: "It's been a long time since I last saw Young Master. In my hurry, I almost forgot that I'm not very familiar with Brother Dian."

If it had been Xu Chu, there would not have been the misunderstanding just now. After all, Dian Wei had just met Wei Cheng not long ago, and Huang Xu had been away from home during this period, so it was normal for them not to be familiar with each other.

Dian Wei also learned that Huang Xu was the son of Huang Zhong, the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Breathing Guard, and he gave an apologetic clasped fist in salute.

He was indeed unfamiliar with Huang Xu, but he respected Huang Zhong's words.

"Tell me, why did you come to the city guard station to see me?" Wei Cheng said as he continued to walk forward.

Huang Xu chuckled and hurriedly followed him, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't seen the young master for a long time and I miss him very much."

Wei Cheng didn't believe his nonsense, and said angrily: "Don't be disgusted, just tell me something."

Huang Xu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I haven't seen my old man for several days. The military advisor said that he came back earlier. I haven't seen anyone here. I'm... a little worried."

When Wei Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It turns out it's because of Uncle Han that I'm here. Hey, you guys are not so sensible on weekdays."

Huang Xu put away his smile and said, "I can't help it, I'm just such a dad."

Seeing the worried look on his face, Wei Cheng nodded and said, "It's okay. He's a bit filial. Don't worry. Your father and Hua Cun have a small mission. It's not convenient to show up right now. I can only assure you that they are both safe."

The expression on Huang Xu's face slowly relaxed. As long as he knew that his old father was safe, he didn't ask more about the specific mission.

Not to mention that I was still a little jealous. I was half idle, but my father had to do one task after another.

If this continues, when will I, Huang Xu, be able to visit the Temple of War?

"Okay, is everything okay?"

Wei Cheng patted Huang Xu's shoulder and invited, "Come on, come take a bath with us."

Huang Xu waved his hand and declined politely: "I won't go to take a bath. I have to go to Dingjunfang to become a disciple."

"Apprenticeship?"

"Yeah, there's an old man here from Dingjunfang, he's a top master."

···

On the wall outside Dingjunfang, several young men from farmers' families were squatting in the corner and stacking Arhats.

The city guards patrolling nearby had no intention of expelling them. Instead, they looked at the six or seven-meter-high wall in amusement, wondering how you would stack it up.

Most of the sons of bankers have a dream to enter Dingjunfang, because as long as they can enter Dingjunfang, it means that they will start as a city guard at the minimum. This is an excellent way to change their destiny.

Every young man in Hedong County has been nurtured like this since childhood. Whether it is the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" or the newly established War Temple, the Wei family's martial arts style has spread throughout Hedong.

Even "The Legend of the Heroes of the Heroes", which has been serialized in the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" for several months, also talks about martial arts. A man should move around the world with a sword, hoe the strong and help the weak, and help the country.

"Second Master!"

"Um."

Outside the square gate, a carriage slowly stopped. Wei Cheng, Dian Wei, and Huang Xu got out of the carriage.

Several teenagers looked back and their eyes lit up.

"Brother, it's Dian Wei who is ranked ninth!"

"Well, well, keep your voice down, that's a big shot."

"Who is that?"

"Well...I don't know him either."

Wei Cheng and Huang Xu looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Well, they are not as famous as Dian Wei.

It's okay for Wei Cheng, he doesn't like to appear in public.

But Huang Xuke was sad. If you want to join the War Temple, reputation is one of the selection criteria. Now, even people in Hedong County don't know about his reputation, let alone the entire Bingzhou.

In fact, what Huang Xu didn't know was that his fame had already spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

However, he is not famous for his military exploits, but because the protagonist of "She Withering" has the same name and surname as him, and was even written based on him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The three of them entered Dingjunfang, and with just one glance, they saw hundreds of people gathered on the school field.

"Close your teeth tightly and don't open your mouth. If you open your mouth, how can you release your energy? This is what martial arts practitioners practice. If your breath is unstable when facing the enemy, it will be like having a lot of flaws in front of the opponent. You should keep this in mind.

Practicing martial arts is also training Qi.”

"Master Tong, what should you do if you really encounter this situation?"

"Haha, if I can beat you until you are discouraged, it proves that you have met a master. If you don't run away, will you die standing there stupidly?"

"What if it's on the battlefield?"

Tong Yuan looked back at the young man who asked the question, smiled slightly, and asked, "That's a very good question, do you have parents, a wife, and children?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "There are old people at the top and young people at the bottom."

Tong Yuan's face straightened, and after scanning everyone, he said in a deep voice: "Then they are your confidence. If you are still a man, you will not be able to vent your anger."

"Hmm, nice chicken soup."

Wei Cheng stood aside and listened for a while, with no intention of going in to disturb.

Leaving Dian Wei and Huang Xu behind, he came to the meeting hall alone.

Xu Ding was handling official business. When he saw Wei Cheng suddenly arriving, he stood up and bowed hurriedly.

Wei Cheng signaled him not to worry about him, walked to the tea table nearby and sat down.

"Where's Zhongkang?"

Wei Teng looked around and saw Xu Chu nowhere to be seen.

Xu Ding frowned slightly and said with a wry smile: "Where else can we go, to study the art of war in the back hall."

When Wei Cheng heard this, he laughed and said, "Why, are you still thinking about the War Temple?"

Xu Ding walked to the cupboard next to the tea table, took down a can of tea, nodded and said: "Ever since Mr. Xu and the others came to the Temple of War, this boy has been reading the military book every day... Master, try this scented tea, my wife.

Baked by hand.”

It is worth mentioning that the Xu family has also attached itself to the Wei family, and Xu Ding has even placed his wife and children in Dingjunfang, where they help with housekeeping and other matters on weekdays.

Wei Qing nodded slightly, then smiled and said: "I didn't think it through about Zhongkang. It's okay. You can tell him later that I have reserved a seat for him in the Temple of War. It's a good thing to read more military books. Sooner or later,

Useful."

Xu Ding was startled when he heard this, then bowed and thanked his brother excitedly.

In Wei Cheng's view, a mere war temple might be just a political ploy.

But in the eyes of Xu Ding and others, it is the highest honor and a supreme achievement that can be worshiped by thousands of people in the future.

Wei Chengxu gave him a hand and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

"How has Wenhe (Jia Xu) performed recently?"

After Xu Ding sat down, he nodded and said, "It's very good. Several managers in the satellite city spoke highly of him, and under his management, the per capita income of Satellite City No. 13 has exceeded Satellite City No. 9. It can be said that

Old Man Shi is very angry, haha."

The people living in Satellite City No. 9 are all stonemasons. They built the Temple of War before. Logically speaking, the per capita income should not be low. I didn't expect Jia Xu to be so capable and help an unknown satellite city to build up.
