Among the Wagang army, the only one Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin couldn't understand was Wu Dong.
From the first day they met, it can be seen that Wu Dong's prestige in Wagang is extremely high, but there is no explicit second-in-command.
After being in contact for a period of time, the two of them knew more about Wu Dong and became more curious.
This person is a decent person and is extremely fair in his actions. He is definitely a person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes.
The whole Wagang seemed to be a little afraid of this person.
He dared to speak out about things he didn't like, and when he saw General Wagang doing something wrong, he also dared to punish him directly.
I heard that there was a lot of quarrel with the other senators over this, but the result was that the other senators were defeated.
"Leader Wu Dong is definitely a very capable being. His strength and skills are not bad, but his personality is too upright!"
After taking a sip of warm water, Xu Shiji said: "It's easy to break when you're too strong. I'm afraid this guy will have some setbacks in the future!"
"Yes, many brothers have complained about it!"
Shan Xiongxin nodded repeatedly, pointed to the warm water in the bowl, and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for this person, I'm afraid we would be able to drink a big bowl of wine and eat a lot of meat every day, but now we can only drink boiled cold water. It's too harsh.
Got it!"
"Yes, many brothers complain that they can't stand it, but they dare not express it directly!"
Xu Shiji also smiled bitterly. He was born into a wealthy family, and he really couldn't stand such a poor life.
Having said this, he couldn't help but say: "But having said that, Leader Wu's troops should be the most capable of fighting in the entire Wagang Army!"
"I am very sure of that!"
Shan Xiongxin asked back: "If it weren't for this, all the leaders would have made a fuss long ago!"
"It's just that Leader Wu Dong is a little too nice to his brothers!"
Xu Shiji pointed it out directly: "He actually openly taught boxing, kicking, and military martial arts, and also asked the brothers to read and write, and even provided herbal medicine to nourish the body!"
"These actions can easily cause a strong backlash from powerful families!"
He was born into a powerful family, but he was very aware of the monopoly of knowledge and martial arts by wealthy families and local powerful people.
Wu Dong's behavior of blatantly spreading knowledge and spreading martial arts is definitely abhorred by wealthy families and powerful people.
"I'm afraid that when the Wagang Army becomes bigger, Leader Wu will be easily marginalized!"
Shan Xiongxin nodded in agreement and said with emotion: "I really don't know what this person is thinking about doing such a thankless thing!"
"Not only that, his temperament is too upright and upright!"
Xu Shiji said slowly: "Once Wagang grows bigger, Leader Wu will not be able to reap the benefits!"
Shan Xiongxin shook his head and said: "This person seems to hate the powerful people of the family. He doesn't have much strength yet, but he dares to target the local powerful people near Wagang!"
"I heard that this guy actually took his brothers to farm, which is really weird!"
Having said this, he shook his head with a look of regret.
"Why, Brother Shan is not optimistic about Leader Wu's future?"
Xu Shiji said curiously: "I think he is very loved by his brothers. No matter how bad his life is, he will not completely sink!"
"That's it, there is no way to develop and grow!"
Shan Xiongxin shook his head and said: "If Wagang wants to develop and grow, it must eventually accept powerful children from aristocratic families. They will never let Leader Wu become big!"
Xu Shiji nodded, he thought so too.
"We brothers, do you want to have a good relationship with this guy?"
Changing the topic, he leisurely said: "It's really rare to find such a decent person!"
"It's not necessary to have a close friendship, it's good to have a friendship between gentlemen!"
Shan Xiongxin laughed and said: "I heard that Leader Wu is also a master of external martial arts, and he also has divine power. I would like to see it!"
When the two friends were young and vigorous, they made passionate comments and did not shy away from the possibility that there might be ears across the wall.
In fact, soon the conversation between them reached the ears of the great leader Zhai Rang.
Still too young...
Regarding the content of the conversation between the two talents, Zhai Rang was noncommittal.
It is true that Wu Dong's work style and personality are not lovable, and can even be said to be disgusting, but so what?
As long as you are strong enough, no matter how dissatisfied others are, you can only keep it in your heart.
Speaking of which, Zhai Rang also felt strange.
When Wu Dong first brought people to join Wagang, although he was unsociable, he didn't act too harshly, and he pretended to close the door and do his own thing.
But the situation has been different recently. This guy seems to have suddenly enlightened, giving him a rather unfathomable feeling.
In particular, his unintentional display of domineering made him feel like when he was still in the government and meeting the big boss of the state government.
The same is true. When Zhai Rang faced Wu Dong, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
Of course, the specific situation will have to wait and see the development momentum of Wagang in the future.
If Wagang is still tepid, that's it. If there is a sudden rise, Wu Dong's situation will really not be good.
This person's character is indeed too strong-willed, and his methods for local tyrants are also a bit too harsh, which is not in line with the mainstream atmosphere.
Of course, he doesn't think Wu Dong will be marginalized.
Just kidding, even though he felt a little uncomfortable in front of Wu Dong, Zhai Rang would rather have such a number one person by his side. He is better than other guys whose work styles and personalities are hard to predict.
At the very least, Wu Dong would not stab him in the back, so Zhai Rang would have to show him enough respect.
…
Wu Dong didn't know that Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin would have such comments about him when he left the village to inspect the fields.
Even if he knew, he would just smile with disdain.
It can only be said that the mainstream public opinion controlled by the powerful family is indeed powerful, and it even includes celebrities like Xu Shiji.
The Gaowu world has unique operating rules. Wu Dong believes that the main world and Fengyun world's models are normal.
On the contrary, he thinks that the yellow martial arts world is not normal.
Damn it, powerful warriors are so tyrannical that they can shatter the void, why should they care about secular dynasties and powerful families?
Even a strong master cannot be restrained by the so-called powerful families and sects.
He sometimes feels that the strong men in the Tang Dynasty's Shuanglong world have holes in their brains.
He can't get rid of his attachment to the imperial power, which makes people speechless.
On the contrary, Sun En, the Heavenly Master from the Border Legend period, is the normal performance of a strong man in the world of high martial arts.
As a result, a bunch of so-called "righteous men" still criticized Sun En's actions in every possible way, which is simply inexplicable.
It seems that there is imperial power above the head, and it is normal for the imperial power to be restrained by powerful families.
As for whether his own actions will offend people and completely offend the powerful family, will Wu Dong care?
If you can't survive in the Sui Dynasty, you can just go out to sea and find a big island to retreat and practice for a while. When your strength reaches the level, you can just fight back. Is it that difficult?
It seems that without the collapse of the powerful family and the world, if they really had such great abilities, this would not be a world of high martial arts, but a high-level fantasy world.
At his own pace, Wu Dong walked around the large fields he cultivated himself, and by the way, he led a group of subordinates on an armed parade at the border of the nearby manor.
It is estimated that the owners of these manors should be frightened.
Later, I heard that since then, these manors have not crossed the boundary to cause trouble, and some experts have even been added to guard them.
At this time, Wu Dong had returned to Wagang Village.
Ahem, Wagang's troops have been expanded to over 10,000.
In other words, the Wagang Army has tens of thousands of young and strong labor force.
What else is there to say? You can’t waste food to feed idle people, right?
Wu Dong didn't even need to ask. The elders who had long been unhappy with living in thatched huts began to put forward suggestions for building a cottage.
Zhai Rang, the big leader, followed the good example, and soon the Wagang area began to carry out large-scale construction, and the construction work was in full swing.
As a result, the surrounding local officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was really not a toy. After issuing an edict to recruit laborers, he knew how to urge them, just like a ghost who urged them to do their best.
The government offices in various places along the road were really busy, and they were making a lot of noise all day long about the labor service on the road.
Apart from anything else, even if they don't care about the life and death of laborers, they must call in manpower to deal with the bodies that are exhausted and abandoned on both sides of the road. Otherwise, what if a plague develops over time?
At this time, for the sake of official hats and heads, all my thoughts were on the logistics of the expedition to Goguryeo, and I couldn't spare any energy to care about other things.
Wu Dong and his younger brothers were also assigned some construction tasks.
There is no need for Wu Dong to do it himself. His subordinates have already made all the plans and can start construction immediately as long as the materials are ready.
Wu Dong himself had a rare moment of leisure.
To be honest, since I recovered my memory, I seem to have been busy. I am either busy training my body and improving my cultivation, or I am working with my younger brothers to improve their abilities.
It's not that he wants to do this, but if he wants to be prosperous in this world, no matter whether he participates in the world's struggle for hegemony or not, he must have a group of capable confidants.
Whatever you do in the future, you can do it with one word, instead of having to ask for help.
At this time, Shan Xiongxin came over and expressed that he wanted to discuss with Wu Dong.
The result was naturally not very good. Wu Dong's cultivation at this time had almost reached the stage of completing the skin membrane training, and his hands each had nearly two thousand kilograms of strength.
He just held a 60-pound hammer in one hand, and didn't pay attention to any moves. He just hit Shan Xiongxin with a powerful hammer.
How could Shan Xiongxin withstand such a torment? He only received ten hammers, and the spear in his hand was knocked away. The tiger's mouth was shattered, and his whole body was filled with anger and blood. He was so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.
He had been feeling uncomfortable for almost half an hour before he slowly recovered from the aftermath of the heavy hammer blows.
He looked at Wu Dong, who had a plain face and was holding two heavy hammers as if they were nothing, and said repeatedly: "It's amazing, my brother is indeed amazing, Shan is willing to be inferior to me!"
"Haha, brother Shan, let's get closer and closer in the future!"
