The great hero, from nine to five

After the celebration banquet was over, Xun Wu and Zhang Bumo faced a very troublesome thing - boasting officials.

Xun Wu was fine, and immediately refused the trip to praise the official on the grounds that he had important matters to deal with and handover recently. The barrage Zhang Bumo, the number one martial artist, had no way to hide.

For the next three days, Zhang Bumo had to dress in bright red, put palace flowers on his hair, and parade through the streets with a large army to meet the admiration of all people.

To be honest, for any Central Plains person, this kind of thing is an extremely boastful thing, and it can even be called Guangzong Yaozu. As the saying goes, riches and honors do not return to their hometowns like walking in brocade clothes at night. Show off well.

But Zhang Bumo is really not interested in this kind of thing. For him, this kind of thing is really meaningless. It's better to discuss martial arts with Fang Xian and Zhang Bumo.

But Zhang Bumo couldn't refuse.

This matter is very worthy of publicity for the Dongshan faction. After all, the Dongshan faction has cultivated a martial arts champion. Even if there is a goal for ordinary people in the world, it will be much easier for the Dongshan faction to recruit new disciples in the future.

For Zhang Bumo, this is an opportunity that must not be missed. Naturally, even if he is reluctant, he must do it.

Fortunately, Zhang Bumo was usually distracted and used his mind to study the sword technique, but now he was riding a tall horse while thinking about the sword intent silently.

This is also a matter of no choice, he actually has no interest in sword intent, but he has absorbed too much in terms of swordsmanship during this time, even he has to digest it well, so he simply started to think about sword intent In the past few days, I have built a martial arts arena in my spiritual wisdom, which makes it easier to practice.

On the afternoon of the second day, Bao Mansion.

Bao Yuan walked slowly towards the main house with a stack of things in her arms.

Bao Huaiying finally went home, so she naturally wanted to chat with her father, but there were too many things yesterday, and Bao Yuan didn't want to appear in front of so many people, so she waited for a while.

She took two steps lightly, but heard two people discussing in the room, it was her parents.

Some time ago, Mrs. Bao moved to Yunzhou, and later Bao Huaiying was transferred to the capital again, and was directly promoted. Madam Bao naturally made new preparations and moved the Bao family's things to the capital again.

Now that Bao Huaiying finally finished his work, he discussed with Mrs. Bao before Emperor Shengwu left Beijing.

"Oh, find a wife for Xiao Wu?" Mrs. Bao immediately became interested when she heard Bao Huaiying's words.

Hearing this, Bao Yuan couldn't help but stop her footsteps, carefully put away her things, and listen carefully with her ears pricked up.

"Xiao Wu is 25 this year, and he hasn't found a wife yet, so it's time to think about it."

Bao Huaiying and Mrs. Bao have always regarded Xun Wu as their own son. Now that Bao Huaiying mentioned this matter, they naturally began to think about it.

In this era, the average age of marriage is very young. Men like Xun Wu who are in their twenties, and even men like Ji Chou who are not married in their late thirties are already considered "old men".

But men are not women after all, no matter how old you are, as long as you think about it, you can always find someone in this era, and the higher your status, the easier it is.

"What do you think... Yuan'er?" Bao Huaiying hesitated for a moment, and called Bao Yuan's name in a rare way.

Although Xun Wu is a bit old, Bao Huaiying has always regarded Xun Wu as his own son. He thinks that Bao Yuan's knowledge is absolutely fine, and he is naturally worthy of Xun Wu.Moreover, he would never despise Xun Wu or anything.

Bao Yuan at the side became nervous, her wheat-colored skin blushes, like a cherry with black in red and red in black.

"Yuan'er? Huh, what's her job?" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bao immediately said, "You don't know Yuan'er's temperament, it's just that Xiao Wu is good to others, and if you can bear her bad temper, change someone else." , have long since died of old age and no contact with each other!

Do you still want your daughter to torture Xiao Wu for the rest of her life? "

Bao Huaiying let his wife be fooled, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

What he considered was talent and knowledge. He was also very stinky about character, so naturally he didn't think about it.

But he regards Xun Wu as his successor, but Xun Wu himself has a very good personality, he can chat with anyone, and he is the type that everyone loves.

But Bao Yuan is not.

If Mrs. Bao treated Xun Wu as her son-in-law, she would be very satisfied, but if she regarded Xun Wu as Bao Huaiying's descendant and Bao Huaiying's godson, then she would not support Bao Yuan and Xun Wu at all. .

"Humph!"

Bao Yuan, who was standing outside the door, no longer blushed, and she was no longer nervous. She stomped her foot indignantly, walked straight to the door, knocked on the door twice, and shouted Voice.

Bao's father and mother in the house naturally looked at each other in blank dismay, and asked Bao Yuan to come in directly.

As soon as Bao Yuan walked in, Mrs. Bao frowned.

She has always disliked Bao Yuan's weird outfits.

A good girl, not only dyed her hair white, but also wore a cape, she looked like a big ball.

However, Bao Huaiying didn't respond. Bao Huaiying only paid attention to good and evil. He always looked at things that were unconventional and trendy. He would study and examine them, and he would not teach Bao Yuan a lesson just because she was dressed differently from ordinary people.

It was also Bao Huaiying's almost "indulgent" education policy that Bao Yuan embarked on the road of wuzuo and became a genuine wuzuo certified by the imperial court.

"look at you--"

"You don't need to tell me." Bao Yuan took another two steps, walked to the front of the house, and said to her parents, "You don't need to worry about my affairs, I will make my own decisions."

Bao Huaiying and Mrs. Bao both leaned back.

In this day and age, how can a woman "make decisions for herself"?Basically, it was the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, and only Bao Yuan could say such words with confidence.

Mrs. Bao wanted to reprimand her daughter, but Bao Huaiying raised her hand to stop her at this moment, looked at her daughter, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Bao Huaiying never felt that women were inferior to men, since his daughter dared to say such things in front of them, he was willing to support her.

When Bao Yuan heard Bao Huaiying's reply, she didn't stop any longer, turned around and left with her things.

These things are the things that Bao Yuan integrated and screened out in the past two days. They are things that Xun Wu needs. He took his things and left Baofu, and came to the Yamen.

Xun Wu, Fang Xian, Ji Lian'er, and Ji Chou were nestling in the file room of the yamen at this time, constantly flipping through various materials.

Deng Lianyue on the one side wanted to join in the fun, but after reading too many words, she felt dizzy and dizzy, and didn't have the heart to read any more, so she fanned Fang Xian on the side.

As soon as Bao Yuan walked into the room, several people in the room noticed her and immediately greeted him.

Xun Wu and others are looking for information.

These things are not the dossiers of Fengzhou Yamen, but sent by Man Jianghong to Xunwu Mansion yesterday.

It is impossible for Man Jianghong to monitor the rivers and lakes by himself alone. After all, Man Jianghong alone has a pair of legs. After several years of investigating the rivers and lakes, it may be different when he returns to the capital. It may be completely different from the initial investigation. .

Man Jianghong himself manages to collect the information collected by local yamen, local police officers, and local spies. In addition, he himself manages a special team under the name of the army. This team is also Man Jianghong's method of investigating the military.

Like the "Xiaoya" who looked like a beauty but was actually a pure man that Xun Wu met before, his theoretical immediate boss was actually him.

However, because the Imperial City Division has not been rebuilt, the spies are still hanging in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, making Man Jianghong seem like a polished commander.

Now, since the monitoring of the rivers and lakes has to be handed over to Xun Wu, Emperor Shengwu specially asked Xun Wu to take the secret of Zangfeng Island as the first step of the test, so Man Jianghong asked people to send all relevant things at once. It's time to go to Fengzhou Yamen.

For the past two days, Xun Wu didn't go anywhere, and he didn't even practice martial arts, so he just looked up the information.

To some extent, this can be regarded as the first hurdle of Xun Wu's succession.

But looking at these things, they are really disorganized and too complicated, so that even if Xun Wu has amazing summarizing ability and analysis ability, facing a lot of things that are impossible to solve, there may be real and need to study. The information related to the problem is also a headache.

In desperation, Xun Wu had to rely on the strength of the crowd.

They don't need to help Xun Wu analyze or anything, they just help Xun Wu carry out the initial screening.

Xun Wu also thought about it, and felt that this should also be a test for him by Man Jianghong, or a teaching?

There is no problem with Xun Wu's personal ability, but what Xun Wu needs to face in the future is no longer a matter of one city or one place, but a secret matter of the whole world and the whole world. No matter how powerful one person is, it is impossible to coordinate everything. It must be distributed.

Seeing so many people, Bao Yuan buried all the words that she had conceived all the way in her heart, then put the things in her hand in front of Xun Wu with a bang, and said to him: "Okay, I have sorted everything, look Let's see."

Naturally, it is impossible for Bao Yuan and Fang Xian to simply be a classifier. She carried a large pile of materials by herself yesterday, went home and studied until late at night, and did a full analysis, but she would never claim credit for it. .

Anyway, if Xun Wu saw it, he would definitely understand what she had done.

"Ah, thank you very much, Sister Yuan." Xun Wu picked up the stack of papers, flipped through them, and immediately counted them.

Bao Yuan definitely had another big night.

"Sister Yuan, sit down and rest first."

Xun Wu observed Bao Yuan's state and found that Bao Yuan seemed to be quite energetic, so he asked Bao Yuan to sit down and rest first.

Bao Yuan didn't refuse either.

In front of people, she has always pretended to be a fisherman.

but...

None of the people present would think so.

Even Ji Chou, who just met her not long ago, was a little apprehensive when she saw her.

Originally, Ji Chou was more or less "afraid of women" and was not willing to be rough on women. A few days ago, during the martial arts, Xun Wu and him violently punched each other, and the right hand was bloody and bloody. It was Bao Yuan who Xun Wu treated.

At that time, when Bao Yuan looked at Jichou, she didn't look at the eyes of "good friend brother", but "looking at trash" and "enemies".

Especially all kinds of sarcasm, intentional or unintentional, specious, and specious, made Ji Chou feel that he really couldn't read Xun Wu, and Bao Yuan's cold words and reprimands after Xun Wu opened his mouth to persuade Ji Chou really made Ji Chou unable to bear it. , Can't stand it.

Only then did Ji Chou realize that it was no wonder that her cousin, who was fearless, was honest when she met Bao Yuan.

This woman is the one who really has the most say in Xun Wu's small team, and Xun Wu has to admit that she is cowardly when she sees her!

"Well... Looking at it this way, this old Feng is really amazing."

Xun Wu put down the things in his hands and couldn't help rubbing the center of his brows.

After these two days of reading, Xun Wu didn't understand other things, but he finally understood the experience of the owner of Zangfeng Island.

"From the information that Mr. Man gave me, this senior Feng fought all over the country, whether it was a swordsman or a swordsman, as long as he had a reputation, he would challenge it.

In the beginning, he only challenged some well-known people, because at that time he couldn't challenge those who had been famous for a long time in the rivers and lakes.

Later, he began to challenge the heirs of various sects.

When all the heirs of the major sects were defeated by him, he began to challenge the Sword League.

Like many famous swords in the Sword League, they disappeared later, but according to the summary and analysis of these old materials, they should have lost to him, and then he won directly.

Let's sum it up carefully.

Not just a sword, this Island Master Feng once set up a ring to challenge the heroes of the world. Those who can win him will win the Luminous God Cup, which is said to be priceless in his family. Keep your own weapons. "

"Hiss... No wonder people call him Feng Wudi." After listening to Xun Wu's summary, Fang Xian gasped.

After doing such a big thing, not only was he not defeated by the Jianghu people, but he also won an unknown number of swords, and even lived well until now.

This combat power is absolutely outrageous, not comparable to ordinary masters.

Look carefully at the man this man beat—

All masters of the Sword League with famous swords, heirs of the top sects in Jianghu, and even Dongshan Swordmaster Chen, the head of the Dongshan School, the master of all swordsmen in the world, lost to him back then!

This kind of person, even if he is not a grandmaster, is absolutely top-notch—not the self-righteous top-notch limit of He Jing, but the real top-notch cap!

Even if he is not as good as Zuo Yanhan, he is definitely not far behind!

"But... there is a little detail wrong here."

Ji Chou and the others looked at each other and frowned, not expecting what it was.

"Is it the one Bumo said?" Ji Lian'er thought about it, thought of a detail, and asked.

Xun Wu nodded.

When Bao Yuan heard this, she immediately followed him: "You mean Zhang Bumo, about returning to the bird?"

"That's right...

According to Bumo, the old sword master competed with that Feng Wudi, and the final result was that Feng Wudi cut off the old sword master's sword.

But here, and the message on the record, there was an error.

According to statistics, that Feng Wudi never did anything to cut swords, unless he broke the opponent's weapon during the battle, otherwise he would just take away the weapon and store it away.

In other words, there was a special situation in the last battle that year. "

After Xun Wu finished summarizing, he said to everyone: "That is to say, this detail that others don't know at all is the key point of everything."

Although it is not yet known exactly what will happen on Zangfeng Island, it is always useful to be prepared first.
