"After all, you and I possess the immortal family's skills, so we naturally need to be more low-key in our actions." “It’s not appropriate to attract too much attention.” Wei Tu shook his head and added. This time, the reason why he gave up his position as the leader of the martial arts was due to the fact that he possessed the Immortal Cultivation Technique. If he didn't have the skills of the Xian family, becoming the leader of the local martial arts competition and attracting the attention of the world would not be too risky for a martial artist with a certain background. But after acquiring the Xianjia Kung Fu— If he becomes the leader of the martial arts and a seventh-grade official, this risk will become uncontrollable and eventually harm everyone. "Third brother, what you said makes sense." Fu Zhizhou nodded heavily and agreed. Fu Zhizhou has a clear understanding of the preciousness of Xianjia Kung Fu. After all, he is also an eighth-rank official, and his family is also a family of military commanders in Xiaoyi Mansion. However, before coming into contact with "Five Yuan Yun Spirit Body", he always believed that immortals did not exist in the world, and that immortals were illusory existences...
A glimpse of the leopard shows that the Zheng Kingdom's court, or the immortals, must have strict control over the immortal family's skills and strictly prohibit leaking them to the outside world. Once discovered, they will most likely be confiscated and exterminated. Only, They must not act without caution. "Fourth brother, as a soldier, joining the army can you be considered idle? If I am to be promoted to an official, I will also need to find an idle officer..." In the carriage, Wei Tu changed the subject and asked about Fu Zhizhou. After the Wuyun Tower was quelled last year, all four of their brothers were promoted in official positions, and Fu Zhizhou also got the opportunity to be transferred to the prefecture and county. In order to help Wei Tu and the others, Fu Zhizhou used his connections and did not return to his hometown of Xiaoyi Prefecture to serve as a local military attache. Instead, he stayed in Qingfeng Prefecture and became an eighth-grade soldier to join the army. "I, the military officer, am responsible for the military preparations of Qingfeng Mansion. Now the world is peaceful and there is no war. I am an idle officer." Fu Zhizhou smiled when he heard this and replied. ——After acquiring the Immortal Cultivation Technique, his ambition is no longer to become famous and "promote and make a fortune", but to cultivate immortality with all his heart. Therefore, when he was an official, he chose the military attache position of "Bing Cao Join the Army". "When the provincial examination results come out and officials are appointed, I hope that my fourth brother can help me, work on my relationship, and choose a free official position for Brother Yu..." Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded and asked Fu Zhizhou about his appointment as an official. In addition to having family connections that he could use, Fu Zhizhou was also the current eighth-grade military attache at the moment, and he also had his own connections in the governor's office of Shannan Road. "I have already entrusted Jin Zhijun, the governor of the Yamen, with the official position of Third Brother." "As soon as the rankings come out, Jin Zhijun can confer an officer on you, third brother, as appropriate." Fu Zhizhou smiled and said. The four of them are now truly sworn brothers. Even if Wei Tu doesn't mention this small favor, he will do it in advance.
"Thank you, fourth brother." Wei Tu thanked him, secretly remembering Fu Zhizhou's kindness this time. … A few days later. The list of rural martial arts examinations will be decentralized. Wei Tu went to Wugong Academy, and after seeing that he was indeed ranked seventh on the list, his worries about the ranking disappeared. There are endless cases of fraud in imperial examinations. The finalization of the rankings on the list is not all based on the "competition" competition that has the largest impact on the rankings. It is also closely related to the infield tactics. Seventh- and eighth-grade military attachés, unlike miscellaneous military attachés, cannot be held by ignorant young men. "The military leader of this provincial examination is You Hong?" "It's actually You Hong?" After seeing that his results were correct, Wei Tu looked up to see who would win the first place in the provincial martial arts competition. However, after seeing Leader Wu's name, Wei Tu suddenly showed a look of astonishment. Wei Tu remembered that although You Hong's performance in the martial arts competition was pretty good, he only ranked third. With this result, finishing second in the rankings is acceptable, but becoming the leader of the military force is undoubtedly a bit worse. Even if his military strategy is number one. "It seems that there was also imperial examination fraud in this rural martial arts examination. Fortunately, I didn't think about being in the limelight and seizing the position of the martial arts leader." Seeing this, Wei Tu secretly rejoiced. If he got the first place in the competition and then unfortunately "failed", he might have become enemies with the mastermind behind the martial arts rankings. Ruining someone's future is a life-or-death feud. "Yes, the position of Chief Wu is too important. Not only can he be named a seventh-grade military attache, but he will also be valued by the court and be promoted additionally..." "How could the aristocratic families in Shannan Road easily allow the position of the leader of the martial arts to fall into the hands of others?" Wei Tu quickly understood the reason clearly. Before participating in the competition, Fu Zhizhou mentioned to him that You Hong came from a wealthy family and was very powerful, and asked him to deal with it carefully... Wu Chief Leader and Wen Zhuangyuan were treated differently in the eyes of the imperial court. If they have both made great contributions, when assessing rewards, those who have won the first place in military affairs and the first place in literature must be the first to be promoted. "Pity……" Wei Tu took another look at "Shi Zhen" who was ranked second on the list, and thought to himself. He expected that Shi Zhen would be suppressed by the You family and his corresponding connections after being awarded the official title.
And these suppressions were much worse than the suppression he suffered from Magistrate He three years ago. Zhifu He was only a civilian official and could not reach out to the military attaché system, so the suppression against him, Kou Liang and others was very limited. But the You family is different from a family of military generals. They themselves are figures within the military attache system, and suppressing "Shi Zhen" is just a matter of words. "From now on, unless there are special reasons and there is not enough benefit, we will definitely not compete for first place." Wei Tu was thankful that he had "stopped his horse from the brink" five days ago and secretly made up his mind. If he hadn't thought about the past and retreated bravely, the person who was taken away by You Hong today would not be "Shi Zhen", but him. See the rankings are finalized. Wei Tu had no intention of staying in Fucheng. After saying goodbye in a single house, he returned to Qingshan County. soon. A few days passed. Regarding the new appointment of Wei Tu, it was sent from the governor's Yamen to the Xiangjun Yamen in Qingshan County. "Guard the west gate of Fucheng?" Wei Tu sighed in silence after seeing a few big characters on the appointment certificate. To be precise, his official position is the eighth-level Fucheng garrison, which is the same level as Fu Zhizhou's military soldier Cao. But his specific duty is to guard the west gate of Qingfeng Mansion. Therefore, it is also called "Ximen Guards". "With this official position, if there is no war, it will be free. You can also collect taxes at the city gate and make some money." Wei Tu thought. "But before leaving the county, I have to say hello to my old boss, County Lieutenant Xu..." Wei Tu collected the appointment certificate, took ten taels of silver, went to the county's West Market to buy a few fine gifts, and then went to visit Xu's house. "Brother Wei was relieved of his official position and went to Fucheng to take the Jinke Township Examination. I thought that Brother Wei was young and energetic and would definitely fail in Jinke..." "Unexpectedly, Brother Wei actually ranked seventh in the high school martial arts exam and was awarded the eighth rank." "This really makes Xu envious." In Xu's house, after Xu County Lieutenant learned about Wei Tu's visit, he immediately ordered the kitchen to cook twelve kinds of dishes. After getting dressed, he went out to meet Wei Tu. After leading Wei Tu to sit down in the living room, Xu Xianwei stroked his beard and said with emotion.
