Ruins of the past

"A member of the Wu family." Qiao Zhi chuckled and said, "Wu Siqi, the cabinet scholar at that time, was also a very fierce man who was proficient in martial arts. His hometown is in Qingyang County. The children of the Wu family in Qingyang County are all He hired a powerful master to learn martial arts at home, and he didn't come to the Yinglue Hall at all."

Chu Qiguang knew that the cabinet of the Han Dynasty was the center of the court's operation and could even check and balance the imperial power to a certain extent. There are as few as two or three academicians in the cabinet, as many as six or seven, and they decide various policies of the country.

Chu Qiguang: "Wu Siqi? He is also a martial artist. He is really a fierce man."

Unexpectedly, Qiao Zhi broke another shocking news: "The key point is that although Wu Siqi is only a bachelor of the cabinet now, in two months the current chief minister of the cabinet will return to his hometown, Ding You, and Wu Siqi will become the new chief minister of the cabinet."

Chu Qiguang knew that the Han Dynasty, a feudal dynasty, ruled the world with filial piety. If an official's parents died, he would have to go home for three years.

The chief minister of the cabinet is the first assistant minister in the cabinet. He presides over the affairs of the cabinet and controls the six departments of the court. He is equivalent to the prime minister of a dynasty. It can be said that he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

When he heard that Wu Siqi would become the new chief minister of the cabinet in two months, Chu Qiguang's eyes instantly lit up: "Then I will find an opportunity to go to the Wu family and get to know the people of the Wu family."

Qiao Zhi pouted: "You want to hug your thigh?"

Chu Qiguang said: "It doesn't matter whether you have thighs or not. The main thing is that I like to make friends with people named Wu."

Chu Qiguang thought again: "The Hao family's right capital censor and governor of Dianzhou is equivalent to the commander of the military region of Dianzhou, right?"

He said to Qiao Zhi: "A governor, a minister of the Ministry of War, and now there is a chief minister of the cabinet. What kind of place is this Qingyang County with outstanding people?"

Qiao Zhi said hey: "The Feng Shui in Qingyang County is indeed very good. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been many high-ranking officials, and even now there are immortal seeds like you and me. How can it not be awesome?"

Chu Qiguang nodded when he heard this, and said with deep understanding: "The world will be blessed when we are born in Qingyang County."

Qiao Zhi asked in confusion: "What is Crouching Dragon and Phoenix?"

Chu Qiguang sighed. Although Master Qiao was already very powerful, he was still a world away from him.

Suddenly Chu Qiguang's eyes narrowed and he thought of another thing.

"The new magistrate of Qingyang County wants to collect taxes owed, and I heard that he will also measure the acres of land. But since Qingyang County is the hometown of Bachelor Wu Siqi, who dares to come and cause trouble like this? Is this action aimed at Mr. Wu Ge? Coming?"

"Is this the struggle at the center of the imperial court involving local areas?"

In an instant, Chu Qiguang felt that there seemed to be a terrifying undercurrent surging beneath the calm surface of Qingyang County.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang also understood why the Wang family still dared to hide their fields and not cooperate with the magistrate. This was obviously because he felt that the Wu family could withstand the actions of the new magistrate.

Wang Cailiang, who was on the side, suddenly came over, pulled Chu Qiguang and squeezed into the crowd, saying: "Brother Chu, let me introduce someone to you. That is a good brother I recognized in the county. He will protect us. You can walk sideways in this county from now on."

"My martial arts has already reached the fourth level this year, and he is even better than the masters in the gym. People say that he can not only pass the martial arts examination this year, but also directly pass the martial arts exam. He comes to the Yinglue Hall every day to do the Mao Then he left, let’s go see him as soon as possible.”

After that, Wang Cailiang led Chu Qiguang to Ding Daoxiao and said humbly: "Brother Ding."

"Are you...?" Ding Daoxiao was stunned, frowning and said, "...a new student in the library?"

Wang Cailiang said with some embarrassment: "Brother Ding, don't you remember me? I'm Xiao Wang. We had a drink together at Sixi Hall."

"Xiao Wang?" Ding Daoxiao blinked, and then said as if he had reacted: "Oh~~Xiao Wang, long time no see, how is your father's cloth workshop going?"

Wang Cailiang lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered: "Not bad."

Ding Daoxiao glanced at Chu Qiguang again. Although Chu Qiguang was wearing a newly purchased silk gown today, in Ding Daoxiao's eyes, the clothes, which were worth one or two taels, were no different from wearing no clothes at all, and represented the other party's identity as a civilian.

Ding Daoxiao smiled and said: "This is also a new student, right? He is indeed a talented person. When he comes to the library, he will study literature and martial arts, and we will serve the court together in the future. If you encounter any trouble in this county, you can come to me. , I’ll take the first step if I still have something to do.”

After speaking, he patted the two of them on the shoulders encouragingly and left with a smile.

Wang Cailiang looked embarrassed at the moment and didn't know what to say to Chu Qiguang. Chu Qiguang on the side looked indifferent, and there was no sign of anything strange on his face.

Next, everyone entered the martial arts academy in batches to learn martial arts. Once it was time to practice martial arts, all the students changed their relaxed attitude and became solemn expressions and serious attitudes.

And because Chu Qiguang and Wang Cailiang were both at the first level of martial arts, they were naturally assigned to the outer courtyard.

The outer courtyard has the largest number of people among the three courtyards, with nearly thirty people. Most of them are country rich people like Wang Cailiang, and there are also some businessmen's children.

Chu Qiguang and Wang Cailiang followed everyone to the outer courtyard. The first thing they saw was a large martial arts training ground.

There are also various weapons training equipment such as swords, guns, sticks, stone locks and stone piers on the martial arts training ground. There are wing rooms, study rooms, and circular corridors on both sides.

Everyone stopped talking as soon as they entered the martial arts training ground. They all began to practice seriously. The huge martial arts training ground was silent, with only the sounds of breaking through the air, footsteps, and collisions.

Even the scumbag students from the outer courtyard can be considered serious in practicing martial arts, otherwise they would not be sent in by their families.

Wang Cailiang looked at everyone on the martial arts training ground and sighed: "Brother Chu, we will all spend the next two or three years here."

Chu Qiguang shook his head and said directly: "I will stay here for a month at most, and I will enter the inner courtyard in one month."

At this moment, there was a cough behind the two of them. A tutor from the outer courtyard came over, looked at Chu Qiguang and said with a straight face: "When practicing martial arts, the most important thing is to avoid being proud and complacent. You have just entered the Yinglue Hall. First of all, The task is to lay a solid foundation and not to aim too high.”

Chu Qiguang also knew that these words were for the good of the students, so he immediately nodded and accepted the instruction.

"Are you Wang Cailiang and Chu Qiguang the new ones?" Mr. Tutor said, "What martial arts have you practiced? Show them all to me."

Chu Qiguang had heard Wang Cailiang's introduction before and knew that the person in front of him should be Lin Yao, the master trainer of the outer courtyard.

At the moment, he and Wang Cailiang were practicing martial arts together. However, the Yasha King Fist he practiced was a military martial art, and it was a bit troublesome to perform, so he only demonstrated a set of Tianling Bodybuilding Fist.

After the martial arts demonstration, Lin Yao asked them some more questions, including age, martial arts practice time, family background, etc. After hearing that Chu Qiguang had been practicing martial arts for three years and his family was just a farmer in Wangjiazhuang, his attitude suddenly became cold. A lot.

After all, Chu Qiguang's status was not even considered poor. He was a poor among the poor. In Lin Yao's opinion, it would be impossible for him to have the conditions and qualifications to take the martial arts exam in the future.

On the other hand, Wang Cailiang is more or less a local rich man and is more worthy of investment.
