I Am a Late Bloomer In the World of Immortality Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Ximen Guards (please collect, please read)

“After all, you and I have the skills of the Immortal Family, so we naturally need to be more low-key in our actions.”

“It's not appropriate to attract too many people's attention.”

Wei Tu shook his head and added.

This time, the reason why he gave up his position as the leader of the martial arts was due to the fact that he possessed the skills of the Immortal Family.

If there is no Xianjia exercise method, it will become the head of the township martial arts and be watched by the world. For a martial arts with a certain background, there is not much risk.

But after having the Xianjia Kung Fu—

He becomes the leader of the military force and the seventh-grade official, which will make this risk uncontrollable and eventually harm everyone.

“Third brother, what you said makes sense.” Fu Zhizhou nodded heavily and agreed.

Fu Zhizhou has a clear understanding of the preciousness of Xianjia Kung Fu.

He is also an eighth-rank official after all, and his family is also a family of military commanders in Xiaoyi Mansion. However, before coming into contact with "Five Yuan Yun Spirit Body", he always believed that immortals did not exist in the world, and that immortals were illusory existences...

Looking at the leopard in the picture, the Zheng court, or the immortals, must have strict control over the immortal family's skills and strictly prohibit leaking them to the outside world.

Once discovered, they will most likely be confiscated and exterminated.

Only,

They must not act without caution.

“Fourth brother, as a soldier, joining the army can you count yourself as a free man? If I were to be promoted to an official, I would also need to find a free official...”

In the carriage, Wei Tu changed the subject and asked about Fu Zhizhou.

After the Wuyun Tower was quelled last year, all four of their brothers were promoted in official positions, and Fu Zhizhou also got the opportunity to be transferred to the prefecture and county.

In order to help Wei Tu and the others, Fu Zhizhou used his connections and did not return to his hometown of Xiaoyi Prefecture to serve as a local military attache. Instead, he stayed in Qingfeng Prefecture and became an eighth-grade soldier to join the army.

"I, the military officer, am responsible for the military preparations of Qingfeng Mansion. Now the world is peaceful and there is no war. I am an idle official."

Fu Zhizhou smiled when he heard this and replied.

—After acquiring the immortal skills, his ambition is no longer to become famous and "promote and make a fortune", but to cultivate immortality in order to live forever.

Therefore, when he was an official, he chose the military attache position of "Bingcao joining the army".

“When the provincial examination results come out and officials are appointed, I hope that my fourth brother can help me, work on my relationship, and choose a free official position for Brother Yu...”

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded and asked Fu Zhizhou about his appointment as an official.

In addition to having family connections that can be used, Fu Zhizhou is also the current eighth-grade military attache at the moment, and he also has his own connections in the governor's office of Shannan Road.

“I have entrusted Jin Zhijun, the governor of the Yamen, with my third brother's official position.”

"As soon as the rankings come out, Jin Zhijun can confer an official title to you, third brother, at his discretion."

Fu Zhizhou smiled and said.

The four of them are now truly sworn brothers. Even if Wei Tu doesn't mention this small favor, he will do it in advance.

“Thank you so much, fourth brother.” Wei Tu thanked him and secretly made a note of Fu Zhizhou's kindness this time.

A few days later.

The list of rural martial arts examinations will be decentralized.

Wei Tu went to Wugong Courtyard, and after seeing that he was indeed ranked seventh on the list, his worries about the ranking disappeared.

Instances of fraud in imperial examinations emerged one after another.

The finalization of the rankings on the list is not all based on the "competition" competition that has the largest impact on the rankings. It is also closely related to the infield tactics.

Seventh and eighth-grade military attachés, unlike miscellaneous military attachés, cannot be held by ignorant young men.

“Is You Hong the military leader for this provincial examination?”

“It's actually You Hong?”

After seeing that his results were correct, Wei Tu looked up to see who would win the first place in the provincial martial arts competition.

However, after seeing Chief Wu's name, Wei Tu suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

Wei Tu remembered that although You Hong's performance in the martial arts competition was pretty good, he only ranked third. With this result, getting second place is acceptable, but becoming the leader of the military force is undoubtedly a bit worse.

Even if its military strategy is number one.

“It seems that there was fraud in the imperial examination in this rural martial arts examination. Fortunately, I didn't think about trying to show off and seize the position of the military leader.”

Seeing this, Wei Tu secretly rejoiced.

If he gets the first place in the competition and then unfortunately "fails", he may have a grudge against the mastermind behind the martial arts rankings.

Destroying someone's future is a life-or-death enmity.

“Also, the position of Chief Wu is too important. Not only can he be named a seventh-grade military attache, but he will also be valued by the court and promoted additionally..."

“How could a wealthy family in Shannan Road easily allow the position of military leader to fall into the hands of others?”

Wei Tu quickly understood the reason clearly.

Before participating in the competition, Fu Zhizhou mentioned to him that You Hong came from a wealthy family and was very powerful, and asked him to deal with it carefully...

Wu Kuaishou and Wen Zhuangyuan were treated differently in the eyes of the court.

If both have made meritorious service, when assessing rewards, those who have won the first place in military affairs and the first place in literature must be promoted first.

"Pity…"

Wei Tu took another look at "Shi Zhen" who was ranked second on the list, and thought to himself.

He expected that Shi Zhen would be suppressed by the You family and his corresponding connections after being awarded the official title.

These suppressions were much worse than the suppression he suffered from Magistrate He three years ago.

Zhifu He was only a civilian official and could not reach out to the military attache system, so the suppression against him, Kou Liang and others was very limited.

But the You family is different from a family of military generals. They themselves are figures within the military attache system, and suppressing "Shi Zhen" is just a matter of words.

“From now on, unless there are special reasons and there is not enough benefit, we will definitely not compete for first place.”

Weitu was thankful that he had "stopped his horse from the brink" five days ago and secretly made up his mind.

If he hadn't thought about the past and retreated bravely, the person who was taken over by You Hong today would not be "Shi Zhen", but him.

See the rankings are finalized.

Wei Tu had no intention of staying in Fucheng. After saying goodbye in a single house, he returned to Qingshan County.

Soon.

After a few days.

About Wei Tuxin's appointment, it was sent from the governor's yamen to the Xiangjun yamen in Qingshan County.

“The west gate of the city is guarded?” Wei Tu pondered in silence after seeing a few big characters on the appointment letter.

To be precise, his official position is the eighth-rank Fucheng garrison, which is the same level as Fu Zhizhou's army soldier Cao.

It's just that his specific responsibility is to guard the west gate of Qingfeng Prefecture.

Hence, it is also called "Ximen Guards".

“With this official position, if there is no war, you will be free. You can also collect taxes at the city gate and make some money.”

Wei Tu Xin Dao.

“But before leaving the county, I have to say hello to my old boss, County Lieutenant Xu…”

Wei Tu collected the appointment certificate, took out ten taels of silver, went to the county's West Market to buy a few fine gifts, and then went to visit Xu's house.

“Brother Wei was relieved of his official position and went to Fucheng to take part in the Jinke Township Examination. I thought that Brother Wei was young and energetic and would definitely fail in Jinke…”

"Unexpectedly, Brother Wei actually ranked seventh in the high school martial arts examination and was awarded the eighth rank."

“This really makes Xu envious.”

In Xu's house, after Xu County Lieutenant learned about Wei Tu's visit, he immediately ordered the kitchen to cook twelve kinds of dishes. After getting dressed, he went out to meet Wei Tu.

After leading Wei Tu to sit down in the living room, Xu Xianwei stroked his beard and said with emotion.
