He took his "certificate of appointment" with him and went to Wei Tu to complain.
After reading Wei Fei's "appointment letter", Wei Tu felt that Wei Fei was in a worse situation than he was, having only been given the official position of "teacher".
The position of the capital instructor requires you to teach the soldiers in the capital to practice martial arts every three days. Not only is it troublesome and tiring, but the status is considered low among the military attachés in the capital.
"I'm just waiting for my fourth brother to support me after he gets promoted."
"I just hope he won't forget what he said when we became sworn brothers."
Wei Fei laughed to himself.
Compared with Wei Tu's open-mindedness, he was somewhat disdainful of the suppression by Magistrate He.
After all, his family is not short of money.
After his future was hopeless, it was obviously difficult for him to achieve a significant improvement in his status even if he was given the position of head coach.
"Fourth brother is a man of faith and will never forget you and me, brother."
Wei Tu said in relief.
He knew that Fu Zhizhou was the key to the alliance between the four brothers of the Yishe Society. If Fu Zhizhou broke his promise, the alliance would become a "joke" in the hearts of the three of them as time went by.
"We'll see in a year or two."
"As time goes by, people's hearts are revealed."
Wei Fei swept away his dejection and smiled.
Compared to Fu Zhizhou, Wei Fei obviously trusted Wei Tu, a native of the same county, more.
…
Two days later.
Wei Tu and Wei Fei took office and served as "du military envoys" and "du instructors" in the Xiang army of the county government.
Everything went smoothly in the Xiang army, and the two of them were not ostracized by their colleagues or targeted by their soldiers.
This is not because the atmosphere in the army is good, but because the armaments are weak. The number of officers and soldiers recruited each time is less than half, or even one-third.
"The world will be in chaos."
When Wei Tu saw this scene, he thought of what his father Wei Bao told him about Baiyang County when he returned to Changming Township three years ago.
Baiyang County officials had embezzled 70% of the grain in Yicang, and the remaining 30% was mostly stale and not last year's new grain.
Peeping the leopard in the tube.
If there is civil unrest in Qingshan County, Wei Tu does not believe that these Xiang troops can stop the rebels from attacking the city.
Civil unrest in Qingshan County.
Just one natural disaster away.
"This matter has nothing to do with me."
"I alone can't change the long-standing evils in Zheng State. If I act rashly, I might even hand over my 'crime' to the governor..."
Wei Tu shook his head and began to turn a blind eye to the "disarmament" of the Qingshan County Xiang Army.
He is familiar with history and knows what happened to those officials who were determined to reform in previous lives.
…
After serving in the Xiang Army for five days.
Wei Tu finally met the elder of "Wu Yunlou" whom Fu Zhizhou mentioned in his letter more than ten days ago.
"You are Master Wei Tu?" In the alley, an old man in his sixties blocked Wei Tu's way and asked with a smile.
His beard and hair are all white, and his temples on both sides are slightly convex. He looks old, but every move he makes appears to be extremely strong.
"Who is your Excellency?" Although Wei Tu had some guesses about this person's origin, he was not sure.
——If there are such "strangers" in the county, they will never be unknown.
"Xue Du, Elder of Wuyun Tower!" The sixty-year-old man smiled slightly and revealed his identity without concealing anything.
"Xue came to Qingshan County this time because he wanted to invite martial arts master Wei to join our martial arts building."
"If Master Wei agrees, our Wu Yun Tower is willing to do our best to train Master Wei..."
"I can guarantee that if Master Wei joins Wu Yun Tower, he will hopefully become an innate martial master before he turns fifty."
"An innate martial artist has a lifespan of two hundred years."
Xue Du set out the conditions for Wuyun Tower word by word.
The voice fell.
Wei Tu was immediately excited.
At this time, he finally understood why Fu Zhizhou repeatedly told him not to agree to Wu Yunlou for the sake of profit.
Without it, the conditions proposed by Wuyun Tower were too generous.
An innate martial artist has a lifespan of two hundred years.
If you join Wuyun Tower, you are expected to live longer.
Who can resist this condition.
Especially for Wei Tu.
His "late bloomer" destiny means that the longer his life span, the greater his role.
After becoming an innate martial artist, he might be able to pursue the immortal path that may exist in this world.
"Wei is already an official of the imperial court. Now that he has joined the government, this Wuyun Tower... please refuse Wei..."
After pausing for a few breaths, Wei Tu finally suppressed the desire in his heart, took a deep breath and said.
"Is this an innate martial artist?" Xue Du frowned and asked a few more questions.
——Three years of martial arts training led to today's achievements. He didn't want to let go of Wei Tu, a good young talent in martial arts training.
"Thank you Elder Xue for your appreciation, but Wei is not keen on martial arts. Martial arts is just a tool for Wei to pursue fame and fortune."
Wei Tu shook his head and continued to refuse.
Listen to this.
Xue Du could only give up. He sighed, threw a token to Wei Tu, and said: "If Wei Tu has figured it out, he can take this order and go to Tonghu Mountain. There will be guides sent by me to pick him up."
messenger."
After finishing speaking, Xue Du waved his robe, stepped on the alley wall, and like a cloud crane, he flew up to the eaves two feet high. After a few steps, he disappeared without a trace.
"Qing Kung Fu?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene, and immediately had some guesses about Xue Du's strength.
Although externally trained martial arts masters are often stronger than internally trained martial arts masters, in some aspects, externally trained martial arts masters are far inferior to internally trained martial arts masters.
Take for example the Qing Gong performed by Xue Du at this moment.
Although Wei Tu was able to use his strength to leap onto the eaves two feet high, his figure was not as handsome and relaxed as Xue Du's.
Moreover, according to Wei Tu's observation, Xue Du is not only an internal martial arts master, but also practices certain external martial arts...
"However, what he said must be untrue. He himself is quite old and has not yet entered the realm of innate martial arts... How could we, the disciples who joined later, easily reach the realm of innate martial arts masters?"
"Furthermore, the government has set its sights on Wuyun Tower. The current Wuyun Tower is not a good place..."
Wei Tu shook his head and kept the Wuyun Building matter deep in his heart.
But when leaving, Wei Tu thought for a while and hid the token that Xue Du had just thrown under a big chun tree in this alley.
The next day.
Wei Fei told Wei Tu that Xue Du from Wuyun Tower also came to him once, but he flatly rejected him.
The reason why Wei Fei rejected Wu Yun Tower was the same as what Wei Tu thought. In addition to the agreement made at the government office... there was another point, that is, both of them saw that Wu Yun Tower would be a sunken ship.
Board the ship now.
It is tantamount to courting death.
No matter how great the martial arts sect is, Wuyunlou cannot compare to the Zheng Kingdom. This is the consensus of the two and even all the martial arts masters.
Otherwise, why would Wuyunlou recruit martial arts talents like them, set up its own "imperial court", and train disciples? Wouldn't it be better?
The fact that he recruited martial scholars to get started just proved that he was not as good as the Zheng court, so he had no choice but to adopt this tactic.
After rejecting Wuyunlou's invitation.
Wei Tu's life fell into tranquility day after day again.
until--
The Jinke Township Martial Arts Examination is over, and the township examination results are sent to the Qingshan County Government.
"Fu Zhizhou actually passed the Jinke Provincial Examination and ranked ninth..."
After Wei Tu and Wei Fei read the list, they were happy but also worried.
originally.
Fu Zhizhou's background was better than the other three people they were sworn friends with.
Now, Fu Zhizhou has passed the provincial examination and has become a martial arts examiner. His status is much ahead of theirs and he will be named an eighth-grade military attaché...
Whether it can still remember the old covenant and be willing to abide by it is difficult to predict.
