"You fat boy, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't my uncle forgive you just now? He told you to let go of the past, why don't you just leave and stay here?" Yan Dashan said angrily.

Pang Dun'er was stunned for a moment, then raised his head slightly, his eyes slid across Yan Dashan, and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan. His fat face showed a bitter look.

"Go ahead. If you are interested in martial arts, you can come again next time. This time, you have indeed missed it!" Zhu Xiuyuan said calmly.

However, he looked at the fat boy carefully, observing his every move, even his facial expressions, body language, etc.

Whether it's worth opening a back door for this person depends on his own performance.

After all, opportunities are something you have to fight for and seize by yourself!

For example, a few months ago, when I was in Jiangzhou, Zhu Xiuyuan was attacked on that street. In the end, the old beggar suddenly appeared and saved his life.

Later, Zhu Xiuyuan was coveted by the old beggar's superb martial arts, so he tried his best and used many methods to keep the old beggar who was home from all over the world!

It was precisely because of his persistence and shamelessness in seizing this opportunity that Yan Dashan and Dong Shuzhen had the opportunity to skyrocket their skills!

In addition, the old beggar is the leader of the Beggar Gang. He has a wide network of contacts and is well-informed. This is a real "treasure". Building a relationship with him will naturally be of many benefits to Zhu Xiuyuan.

No, it was because of the old beggar that King Qian and Princess Anle from Liang State could get to know him so quickly...

In general, opportunities require your own efforts to seize them.

Sometimes, you still need to remove thorns, take some risks, and take the initiative to seize this opportunity.

Now, Zhu Xiuyuan seems to be deliberately making things difficult for him, but in fact he is trying to test him.

If he couldn't hold on and turned around and left, then it wouldn't be worth opening the back door for Zhu Xiuyuan.

If he can impress Zhu Xiuyuan and demonstrate his talents to Zhu Xiuyuan's satisfaction, he will open the back door for him.

The entire preparation for the martial arts competition was decided by Zhu Xiuyuan alone. It only took one sentence to open this back door. For him, it was too simple.

"Uncle, since the common people heard about the martial arts examination, they broke down three fast horses and came from Quanzhou. Along the way, the common people had food and accommodation on horseback and did not dare to waste any time..."

The fat boy started to complain.

Zhu Xiuyuan was looking at his expression carefully. After hearing what he said, Zhu Xiuyuan noticed that this person really had a dusty face, and there were dark circles around his eyes because this person had dark skin. At first, he actually

Not seen.

Zhu Xiuyuan remained calm and continued to stare at him.

"Uncle, the common people have heard that the purpose of holding martial arts competitions is to discover brave men among the people to serve the imperial court!"

"Not bad!" Zhu Xiuyuan nodded.

"The common people are brave. Since my uncle's purpose is to discover brave men from the people to serve the imperial court, why bother to stick to mere rules?"

"The common people are indeed a step late, but it's only a little bit late. If because of these few petty officials, my uncle's plan to find brave men for the court is delayed..."

Before Fat Dun'er finished speaking, the civil servants over there couldn't sit still. One of them pointed at Fat Dun'er and cursed: "You are such a arrogant person, a country man, I hold martial arts competitions for the sake of the imperial court."

It’s true that we are looking for talents, but look at you, you are just a short figure, what ability can you have? Just you, you can’t delay my uncle’s big plan!"

"You..." Fatty'er's face turned darker.

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand at the right moment, and Fat Dun'er and the clerk immediately stopped arguing.

"I am advising your Majesty on the military strategy. The purpose is indeed to select talents for the imperial court... Well, I will give you a chance. If you can persuade me, I will let you sign up. That's it.

It's not impossible." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled.

"Huh!" All the civil servants snorted coldly. They all didn't think highly of this fat guy.

How dare a person with a short stature dare to sign up to participate in martial arts? Needless to say, this person must have come here just to "reimburse travel expenses."

They are in charge of reporting names to the armed forces and have already developed a sharp eye. They have seen too many people like this who come to "reimburse travel expenses".

This item is also part of their work. Indeed, through their eyes, they have also caught many people trying to collect tolls.

Compared to the officials who were not optimistic about it, the fat man was overjoyed.

His chubby face immediately burst into a smile, like a pumpkin flower in bloom, but his face was dark, indicating that he was a poisoned pumpkin flower.

"Your Majesty, uncle, in fact, a few days ago, ordinary people were not ordinary people, and they did not meet the requirements for registration in the armed forces specified by uncle!"

After Fatty'er finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xiuyuan with a smile on his face and did not continue, as if waiting for Zhu Xiuyuan to ask him.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan also stared at him, his face expressionless, but he didn't say a word.

The fat man smiled awkwardly, then cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, Cao Min was originally the deputy general of the Quanzhou Navy. He just lost his military status a few days ago and is now a homeless man!"

"Are you the deputy general of the Quanzhou Navy?" Zhu Xiuyuan was slightly surprised, his eyes lit up, and he stared at the fat man with some disbelief and disbelief.

Because this fat man's figure... is really too short, but he actually said that he was the deputy general of the Quanzhou Navy, which... makes people think that he is bragging.

Because the official position of "deputy general" can lead ten thousand soldiers, he is the first lieutenant under kings, marquises, uncles, and local garrison generals.

Hence the name of Lieutenant General.

In fact, the structure of Chen Guojun's army was very simple. The leader of an army was usually a certain king, a certain marquis, or a certain uncle. Among them, a king could command 50,000 soldiers, a marquis could command 30,000, and a count could command 10,000 soldiers.

The lieutenant general serves as the deputy, and each person can command 10,000 soldiers.

In other words, the king has five lieutenants, the marquis has three lieutenants, and the earl has one lieutenant.

In addition, the king automatically obtains the position of "general", the marquis automatically obtains the position of "general", and the earl automatically obtains the position of "general".

In some places, the garrison generals, generals, generals, etc., who do not have a title, are called Generals. If they have a title, they are called by their official title.

For example, Zhu Xiuyuan is the uncle of Jiangcheng and the general of the Divine Thunder Army, but others call him "uncle" instead of the general. This is the reason.

The hierarchy in the army is very strict. Under the deputy generals, there are generals at all levels, including generals, commanders, centurions, chiefs, etc., who jointly manage the tens of thousands of soldiers below!

Therefore, the position of deputy general is actually very important. It is the second-level general in the army!

And this chubby boy "proclaimed himself" the deputy general of the Quanzhou Navy at the outset, and he was so proud of it. Is this boasting too much?

Zhu Xiuyuan, Yan Dashan, and Li Jiye, who had been silent all this time, all frowned slightly. This fat guy had raised a huge tiger flag!

"Haha, this person is so shameless!" Zhu Xiuyuan and the others just frowned and did not say anything. However, these civil servants had no scruples and started laughing from then on.

"A few days ago, I met someone who claimed to be General Qian or Centurion, but now, a person claiming to be Vice-General appears... Hahaha, it really made me laugh to death!"

The clerks were pointing and laughing very happily. Some of them bent down, holding on to the table, and almost fell to the ground.

"Uncle, every word of Cao Min is true, and there is absolutely no lie. If uncle doesn't believe it, you can verify it. If Cao Min says a word that is false, he is willing to accept the punishment!"

But Fatty'er was unmoved, as if he had expected this to happen.

He looked very serious and "performed" perfectly.

"Da Shan, go and try him." Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at Yan Dashan and gave instructions casually.

"Yes, benefactor."

After Yan Dashan handed over his hand, he took a few steps forward and faced the fat man directly. Without being polite, he directly asked some common questions in the military.

Yan Dashan once served as a small general in the army. He is a veteran and is extremely familiar with military matters. The few questions he asked Fat Dun'er can be said to be "black talk" or "jargon".

Most people didn't understand what was going on, including Zhu Xiuyuan.

The civil servants also looked at each other, unable to understand what they were talking about.

Only Li Jiye seemed to be very familiar with military matters. His face was calm and there was nothing unusual about it. It was obvious that he understood.

Then, Yan Dashan and Fatty'er came to the street outside, and we walked back and forth, trying out a few moves.

Everyone looked dumbfounded, seemingly...not seeing the good or the bad.

However, this fat man did not collapse under the pressure of the "big mountain" of Yan Dashan, and he could still be dismantled by you and me...

Everyone was in a daze, and they only understood that this fat guy was really capable.

Because it is impossible for Dashan to release water!

Yan Dashan is Uncle Jiang Cheng's personal bodyguard, and his skill is obvious to all.

And this fat guy can persist, which shows that he is not weak.

With this thought in mind, everyone's expressions changed.

Zhu Xiuyuan grinned slightly, while the civil servants looked at each other with expressions gradually becoming ugly.

After a while, Yan Dashan returned, and the fat man, smiling like a pumpkin flower, also came over.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Yan Dashan. Yan Dashan had no expression on his face and only nodded slowly, which was regarded as acknowledgment of Fatty'er's words.

"Okay!" Zhu Xiuyuan clapped his hands, looked at the fat man, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will allow you to sign up, come on!"

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle!" Pang Dun'er was naturally overjoyed, smiling non-stop on his dark face, like a happy nigger.

All the civil servants looked at each other, then slowly walked over, sat down in front of the desk, and started to sign up for Fatty...

"By the way, what's your name?" Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly asked.

"Uncle, the common people's name is 'Huang Zhigao'!" Fatty Er said with a smile.

When he smiled, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others also laughed.

Zhigao Zhigao, could his parents have guessed that he was short and tall when they named him?
