Chapter 3: He who knows the current affairs is a hero
“General Xu, Wu Yuan..." Wu Qiming wanted to answer for Wu Yuan.
“Patriarch Wu." General Xu's eyes were slightly cold, and his voice became cold: "I am now asking Wu Yuan！”
An invisible energy spread, like a tiger with its eyes open, making Wu Qiming's pupils shrink slightly and his hairs stand on end.！
Although he also practices martial arts, he is only a sixth-grade martial artist..
“Wu Yuan, you don't have to be nervous." Dean Zhang Da on the side was still smiling, and the suddenly cold atmosphere eased: "You can say whatever you think in your heart, but as the dean, I still hope you can think more comprehensively..”
It looks like persuasion but is actually a threat..
At this moment, Wu Yuan's eyes seemed to be attracted by the large stack of banknotes presented by the servant, and his eyes were slightly red..
Saw this scene.
Wu Qiming sighed in his heart, but both General Xu and Dean Zhang Da showed an imperceptible smile..
No matter how steady he is, he is still a fourteen-year-old boy. Five thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a big house in Licheng.！
“Wu Yuan, if you give up, you can take these five thousand taels of silver away now..”
General Xu once again beguiled: "Next year, you can also step into the Yunwu Academy and pursue the pinnacle of martial arts! It is not an empty promise to become a marquis or a general in the future..”
There was a trace of struggle on Wu Yuan's face, and he glanced at Wu Qiming again, seeming to have made up his mind: "General, Dean, I am willing to fight for the honor of being the 'No. 1 in the Four Prefectures' for Li Cheng, and then study in the martial arts academy for another year..”
“OK! General Xu couldn't help but smile and said: "This is my good man from Licheng, an outstanding disciple of the County Zongwu Academy.".”
Wu Yuan kept peeking at the stack of banknotes from the corner of his eyes..
A look of regret and unwillingness flashed across Wu Qiming's face.
“Wu Yuan, take the banknote and go out first." Zhang Dadao.
“Yes." Wu Yuan reached out and grabbed the banknote, carefully put it away, and then exited the hall under the guidance of his servants..
In the hall.
After Wu Yuan left, Zhang Da looked at Wu Qiming: "Brother Wu, as the head of the Wu clan, you should understand that the relationship is powerful, but don't make any mistakes..”
“I understand.”
Wu Qiming lowered his head and said: "After I go back, I will definitely remind Wu Yuan again and again to prevent him from leaking anything about this matter. Wu Yuan gave up this year's martial arts competition purely voluntarily.".”
“Today, I and Wu Yuan were just lucky enough to attend the general's private banquet. After the banquet, they went home on their own without being summoned by the general or Dean Zhang." Wu Qiming continued..
General Xu and Zhang Da looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction..
This Wu Qiming is sensible.
……
Wait until the housekeeper sends Wu Qiming and Wu Yuan away from the mansion through the side door..
“Brother Zhang, I have something to trouble you with." General Xu smiled and said, "Wu Yuan gave up on the competition, so there is no need to inform Yuan Han..”
Zhang Da was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "Parents have far-reaching plans for their children. I hope Yuanhan will not let you down.".”
“That’s all I can do, after entering Yunwu Hall, it depends on his own fortune." General Xu said with emotion..
“OK.”
Zhang Da stood up: "General Xu, I won't stay too long. Regarding Wu Yuan's matter, I still need to communicate with several martial arts teachers to ensure that nothing goes wrong.".”
The Martial Academy of the County Zong is related to the foundation of the sect, and it is not the president who can cover the sky with one hand..
General Xu nodded: "Then I won't give it away..”
Watching Zhang Dayuan go away.
call！
From one side of the hall, a young man with a cold face walked out and said in a low voice: "Father, even if the competition is really fair, the sixth brother is still the opponent of Wu Yuan.".”
“Moreover！”
“With your power, father, asking Wu Yuan to give up is just a matter of words. Why bother to spend another five thousand taels of silver? "The young man was quite puzzled..
“madness！”
General Xu glanced at his eldest son, with a feeling of resentment that iron cannot become steel: "You have liked to be clever since you were a child, how could you know the word 'give up'?"？”
“Only by giving up can you gain something.”
“Five thousand taels of silver, what does it mean to my Xu family? But it is enough to calm Wu’s anger and minimize the risk..”
“Of the six of you brothers, only your sixth brother has truly inherited my talent in martial arts. If our Xu family will continue to prosper, I hope it will be on him..”
“In order for him to enter the Yunwu Palace, I would rather pay more than make any mistakes." General Xu said in a low voice..
“The child is not thoughtful, and I hope my father will forgive me." The young man lowered his head to admit his mistake, but there was a chill in the depths of his eyes..
……
‘Leaving the city, the curfew is lifted on every fifth day of the month, and today happens to be March 15th, so although it is late at night, the streets along the way are still lively. On the carriage.
“Wu Yuan, you shouldn't agree." Wu Qiming stared at Wu Yuan.
“Patriarch, five thousand taels of silver is quite a lot." Wu Yuan said lightly: "I just entered Yunwu Palace a year late..”
“Money is just an external possession. In Middle-earth, martial arts strength is the foundation..”
Wu Qiming shook his head and said: "Do you know why Yunwu Palace only recruits young people under the age of sixteen? From twelve to eighteen years old, it is the best age to lay the foundation of martial arts. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life..”
“Being able to enter the Yunwu Palace a year earlier, not to mention five thousand taels of silver, even if you pay ten thousand taels, is worth it! "Wu Qiming lowered his voice as much as possible, but he was still a little excited: "Wu Yuan, I thought you had recently become enlightened in martial arts and grown up to be sensible, but you have disappointed me so much today.……”
“patriarch！”
Wu Yuan suddenly interrupted Wu Qiming and looked directly at him with clear eyes: "Today, do we have a choice?？”
Wu Qiming showed surprise.
He suddenly realized that Wu Yuan's behavior in the side hall was just a disguise..
“If I refuse, can I change the outcome? Wu Yuan seemed to be asking and answering: "No!" It will only offend General Xu and Dean Zhang, forcing General Xu to use more risky methods..”
“General Xu dares to directly invite us to the banquet and meet us directly, which proves that he is absolutely sure. If he refuses, it will be a question of whether I can survive to the martial arts competition safely..”
“Now.”
“At least General Xu and Dean Zhang are not hostile to us, and I can continue to train safely in the martial arts academy..”
“I also got five thousand taels of silver.”
“Quite a few." Wu Yuan smiled, took out the large stack of banknotes from his arms, and then divided most of them: "Chief, these are for you..”
Wu Qiming was shocked.
“If I didn’t have a family, I wouldn’t be able to enter the martial arts academy..”
“If you hadn't been here today, the clan leader, I'm afraid General Xu would have sent me away with five hundred taels." Wu Yuan shook his head and said, "I left one thousand taels, which means I took advantage of the family. This is indeed my cultivation and mother's. It is necessary to treat the disease, but I hope the patriarch will be considerate..”
“Wu Yuan, take all these coins! To practice martial arts, money is indispensable." Wu Qiming continued and stuffed the banknotes into Wu Yuan's arms..
But was stopped by Wu Yuan.
“Patriarch, as far as I am concerned, as long as the money is enough！”
“If I don’t practice enough, I will find you again, Patriarch." Wu Yuan smiled: "Besides, just like you said, Patriarch, as long as I am strong enough, money will come rolling in..”
“How big is your appetite? How big is your pie?.”
“If there are too many, you will only support yourself.”
“Patriarch, just send it here, don't go in, otherwise, the other rooms will gossip again." Wu Yuan half stood up, slightly cupped his hands, and with a slight movement, he got out of the carriage and walked into the side street not far away..
Wu Qiming sat on the car seat and looked down at a large stack of banknotes in his hand..
He really needs money. It's not easy to maintain a family.！
It is even more difficult to make a family continue to grow stronger！
“Xu Shouyi! Zhang Da！”
Wu Qiming whispered to himself, his eyes cold..
He has served as the head of the Wu clan in Licheng for more than ten years. When he was young, he also had ambitions in "martial arts", but in the end he wasted his time.！
He worked hard for his family.
Wu Yuan is the most talented disciple of the Wu family in Licheng in recent years, and is also Wu Qiming's great hope for reviving the family..
“When you should bow your head, you can only bow your head.”
“I just hope that Wu Yuan will not be delayed by this year." Wu Qiming sighed secretly..
He didn't take General Xu's promise to heart and let Wu Yuan win first place in next year's competition.？
The promise of a big shot is like a bear splitting a stick - it's just nonsense！
“I can’t help you with martial arts training..”
“We can only think of ways to prevent Wu Yuan from having too many worries." Wu Qiming is also constantly thinking about how to better help Wu Yuan..
……
Wu Yuan walked into the dimly lit streets and greeted everyone he met along the way..
People living in this street are all members of the Wu clan.
The Wu family has hundreds of people and more than ten houses. Most of them are ordinary families. They are generally better off than the 'poor people' in the south of the city, but they are far from wealthy..
Go forward for more than a hundred meters.
Wu Yuan just stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated courtyard. This is Wu Yuan's home.！
“Mom, I'm back." Wu Yuan smiled and shouted into the courtyard..
