"Master, please spare my life, Master, please spare your life."
An old man knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his forehead turned red in the blink of an eye.
In front of the old man was a Xiliang soldier, who kicked him.
"You bitch, you dare to hit me. Come quickly and get three pieces of money. I will spare your life today." Xiliang Army shouted.
"Master Jun, I don't have that much money." The old man continued to kneel on the ground, endured the pain, and continued to beg for mercy.
"If you don't have money, just die if you don't have money." The Xiliang soldier had already drawn the sword from his waist.
"Stop."
There was a loud shout from the crowd, but it was Gao Shun who heard the sound and rushed over.
"Who dares to interfere with grandpa's affairs?" Xiliang soldiers heard this and turned to look.
Then he saw a fist as big as a sandbag, hitting him right in the face.
"Ouch." Xiliang soldiers screamed, covering their cheeks with one hand, and pointing the long sword in their right hand at Gao Shun: "After eating the heart of a bear, the leopard is so brave that he dares to hit grandpa. Let's go together and kill him."
."
There are only a dozen Xiliang soldiers in this group. Dong Zhuo also knows that his Xiliang soldiers are not in good military discipline now, so he has sent out all the Xiliang soldiers.
Some are guarding the various princes in the east, and some are guarding the Qiang people in the west.
Only a small number remained in Chang'an, but they were all arranged in military camps outside the city.
It's just that some Xiliang soldiers sneak out of the camp every day and do whatever they want in Chang'an City.
Even if someone reported it to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo treated them lightly and did not punish these Xiliang soldiers who harassed the people too much.
Dong Zhuo needs the Xiliang army. He can control the government now because he has hundreds of thousands of Xiliang cavalry.
The dozen or so Xiliang soldiers were used to being arrogant and arrogant. Even though they saw that Gao Shun was wearing the armor of the Forbidden Army, they still swarmed him.
Bang bang bang...
Gao Shun did not use any weapons. He used a set of fists and kicks, and all the dozen or so Xiliang soldiers lay down.
"Who are you? Do you dare to tell me your name?" The first Xiliang soldier lay on the ground and pointed at Gao Shun and asked.
Gao Shun said: "Gao Shun, the captain of the Forbidden Army."
Since Gao Shun chose to stand up, he didn't want to hide his identity and there would be any consequences, even though it would be against him.
Gao Shun turned around and helped the old man up, saying: "Old man, go back quickly."
The old man knelt on the ground again, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you so much, Master. Thank you so much, Master."
He didn't recognize Gao Shun either, but since they were all wearing armor, it was right for him to call him Jun Ye.
Wang Ding walked over, threw a lot of money to the old man, and said: "Take this money and buy some herbs."
The old man reached out to take the copper coin and knelt down to thank Wang Ding again.
Wang Ding also wanted to take this opportunity to say a few words to Gao Shun and said: "Old man, go back quickly before the Xiliang army comes."
The old man then limped away in a panic with the copper coins in his pocket. His body was aching, but his heart was still filled with joy.
Although I was kicked a few times and had a bruise on my forehead, in exchange for a lot of money, my children could finally eat some meat.
Compared with the people in other places, the people in Chang'an City, although they were squeezed by the Xiliang soldiers, could barely have a bite to eat.
"Young master, please leave quickly and don't cause any trouble." Gao Shun said to Wang Ding, clasping his fists.
He was not used to seeing soldiers oppressing the people, and as the captain of the imperial army, he naturally couldn't ignore it when he saw it.
But Wang Ding dared to stand up at this moment, and Gao Shun also admired him in his heart.
A dozen Xiliang soldiers are still lying on the ground at this moment, and they have seen Wang Ding's face clearly, and they are likely to take revenge on Wang Ding later.
Wang Ding said: "I am Wang Ding and Ji'an, the sons of Lord Situ of the current dynasty. They are just a few ruffians. You don't need to worry about them."
Does Dong Zhuo dare to kill Wang Yun? Of course he does.
But Wang Ding also knew that Dong Zhuo currently wanted to win over aristocratic families, and Dong Zhuo would definitely be reluctant to kill the few scholars who had status and reputation and were willing to join him.
Unless Wang Yun really moved his reverse scales.
Now in Chang'an City, Wang Yun is the only one who dares to hold a banquet at his home and invite other scholars to the banquet.
If it were other ministers of the dynasty, Dong Zhuo would have been imprisoned for conspiring to rebel.
Gao Shun said: "It turns out that he is the prince, Gao Shun, the captain of the imperial army, whose courtesy name is Boping."
Wang Dingdao: "I never thought that there are righteous men like General Gao in the Forbidden Army. If these Xiliang soldiers make trouble with the Prime Minister after what happened today, I am willing to bear witness for the general."
Gao Shun said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I am not afraid of just a few people."
Then he shouted to the dozen or so Xiliang soldiers lying on the ground: "If you are dissatisfied, you can come to the Forbidden Army to find someone."
At worst, he, the captain of the Forbidden Army, will stop doing it.
"My lord, I still have official duties to attend to, so I'll leave first," Gao Shun said.
Wang Ding cupped his fists and said: "Since the general has official duties, let's go ahead. When we have free time in the future, we can have a drink and chat with the general."
Today I can be considered acquainted with Gao Shun. There will be opportunities in the future. Wang will not be in a hurry.
After Gao Shun left, Wang Ding also left with his guards, and the people watching dispersed.
A dozen Xiliang soldiers lying on the ground supported each other, cursed and left to find their superior officers.
Wang Ding returned home and chatted with Diao Chan for a while until Wang Yun returned.
"Father, my child wants to be an official." Wang Ding looked at Wang Yun without squinting.
Wang Yundao: "You are still young, please wait a few years."
Being an official is as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people, but for aristocratic families, it is simple. It is nothing more than the size of the official position you seek.
Most scholars first make a name for themselves. Once their fame is big enough, they can reach the top in one step. There is no need to start from a humble official.
They also look down on petty officials and officials.
"My child is not young anymore. He just wants to do something for our common people." Wang Ding said.
Those celebrities disliked the small official position and preferred to be ordinary people in the mountains, but Wang Ding didn't care.
He needs to have an official position so that he can find a way out for himself. These days, Wang Ding has been wandering around Chang'an City with Zhang Yu and Chen Shan, and Wang Ding has also heard a lot of news.
Wang Yundao: "It's not suitable now."
It's not a bad thing for Wang Ding to want to become an official, but Wang Yun seems to have to wait at least until he kills Dong Zhuo.
Now there is an undercurrent in the court, and he doesn't want Wang Ding to get involved. And he doesn't want Wang Ding to be sent abroad.
With Wang Ding's current age and qualifications, even if he had plans, he would at most go to the local level and serve as a small county seat or county captain.
A small county magistrate or county captain is looked down upon by other aristocratic families, but Wang Ding does not dislike him.
Liu Bei killed many Yellow Turban soldiers, but in the end he was only given to a county captain, and he would be dismissed soon after.
Wang Dingdao: "If I don't ask for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, I will just be a clerk with swords and pens. I am willing to do so. Please ask my father to fulfill my wish."
Since I have Wang Yun’s thigh, when it’s time to hug, I still have to hug her tightly.
Wang Ding will not dislike it.
Wang Yundao: "As a father, I need to think more about this matter."
Now he has openly taken refuge with Dong Zhuo and has been reused, but he is walking on thin ice every day, deeply afraid that what he has done will be noticed by Dong Zhuo.
Now if he suddenly recommends his own child as an official, Wang Yun will have to consider many factors.
