Chapter 64 Social Engagement

As he was talking, a servant in blue came running over, bowed and said, "My lords, the master has prepared a banquet, please come over and eat."

Ding Zhigang tightened his lips, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Brother, the county magistrate is welcoming you. Let's go over there quickly."

"good!"

Fang Zhixing walked quickly and took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Ding, the county magistrate and I have only just met, why is he so kind to me? Is he just like that, or is there another reason?"

Ding Zhigang was stunned at first, then he smiled and said, "Brother, you don't know that it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but hard to get a general. The county magistrate is eager to find talents. He has been looking for an archery expert like you for more than a year."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Just to form this archery camp?"

"right!"

Ding Zhigang nodded and sighed, "Alas, the troubled times have arrived, rebels have risen up in droves, strong men have become bandits, mobs have burned, killed and looted, everyone is in danger, wars are raging in various places, and the situation has deteriorated rapidly.

At this time, whoever has the best soldiers and generals will be more confident! A team of archers with superb archery skills can defeat three, four or even five times the number of infantry and cavalry.

Even a strong warrior may be pierced through the heart by arrows. Who would dare to look down on archers?

Brother, to be honest, with your archery skills, you will be popular wherever you go. If the county magistrate doesn't recruit you quickly, you might run away to someone else."

Fang Zhixing suddenly realized, glanced at Xigou, and said in a voice transmission: "Did you hear that? Are you still suspicious? I got the position of archery coach with my own ability! The current market is that archery is in great demand!"

The thin dog walked with his head down, whining in response: "Time will tell. Anyway, I think none of the powerful people are good. Let's wait and see."

"cut!"

Fang Zhixing curled his lips and sneered, "You have also worked before, which boss do you think is a good person? Do you work for a boss because you like him?

If Luo Peiyun is a good person, then I can be harmless; if Luo Peiyun is plotting against me, then I will let him experience how terrifying a cheater can be.

In short, I am here to make a career. Do you understand the things in the workplace as well as I do? If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm; if a person is not treacherous, he cannot succeed in his career! "

Xigou was not convinced and said, "Your ideas are too backward. I don't need to work at all. My girlfriend works for me. Do you understand?"

…

…

The sunset is full of golden light.

Butler Wen Yuwen walked into the second wife's room, looked up and saw four people in the room.

The second wife who still has charm, the second son Luo Kezhao, the second wife's eldest brother Dong Mingxuan, and his son Dong Xianrong.

As soon as Wen Yuwen entered the room, before he could even salute, the Second Madam couldn't wait to speak: "Old Wen, have you heard that the master gave the position of archery instructor to a new guy?"

Luo Kezhao reminded: "Call Fang Zhixing."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuwen glanced at the Dong family father and son, feeling helpless.

The Dong family father and son have been coveting the position of archery coach for a long time and have been eyeing it.

Dong Mingxuan is the second wife's elder brother, and blood is thicker than water. For the future of his son Dong Xianrong, he has been helping to arrange this matter and has been worried about it.

Naturally, the second wife often whispered in the master's ear.

However, the master knew Dong Xianrong too well and naturally could not give such an important position to a good-for-nothing.

He responded carefully: "I just heard about this as well. It is indeed quite surprising."

The Second Madam was indignant and shouted angrily, "It is said that good things should be kept within the family. What virtue and origin does Fang Zhixing have to deserve such great love from the Master? Could he be the Master's illegitimate son?"

Wen Yuwen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know the details. I just heard that Fang Zhixing's archery skills are very good, so he was appreciated by the master."

"Great archery skills? How good is he?" asked the second lady.

Wen Yuwen straightened his expression and said solemnly: "From a distance of one hundred meters, the strong bow can penetrate the armor and the arrow will never miss its target."

As soon as these words came out, the second wife fell silent.

Such powerful archery skills are indeed far beyond those of ordinary people, and cannot be compared with Dong Xianrong's crude skills.

Seeing this, Dong Mingxuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Since ancient times, it is safest to put military power in the hands of one's own family. If we hand over 300 archers to an outsider, what if he has evil intentions? Wouldn't it be a disaster?

In my opinion, even if Fang Zhixing is an excellent archer, he should start as a deputy, slowly test his loyalty, and then promote him according to his merits."

“That’s right!”

The Second Madam nodded repeatedly, turned to Luo Kezhao, and said, "Son, your father listens to you the most. Go and talk to your father. How can we go against our family?"

Dong Mingxuan added: "Ke Zhao, if your cousin becomes the archer coach, those 300 archers will be your trusted men in the future."

Luo Kezhao nodded and said, "Mother, uncle, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Wen Yuwen lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his heart.

…

…

Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang walked into the hall.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Looking around, there were many small long tables in the hall, divided into two rows and separated from each other.

Next to each long table stood a young maid holding a wine jug.

"Tsk tsk, each person has a table to eat."

Fang Zhixing had only seen this kind of high-end dinner parties in movies and TV dramas.

Almost at the same time, Lu Anfu and three others also came to the hall, smiling, and bowed to greet them: "Captain Ding, Instructor Fang."

"Master Lu!"

Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang responded enthusiastically.

Lu Anfu introduced the two men and one woman beside him to Fang Zhixing and said, "The three of them are the incense masters of my Weapon Casting Hall. This one is 'Iron Claw' Ye Hengchang, this one is 'Mysterious Finger' Xu Dazhi, and this one is 'Little Inch Strength' Lu Peipei."

The three incense masters are all middle-aged men. Ye Hengchang is big and strong, Xu Dazhi has a bit of bookish air, and Lu Peipei is big and strong with a Nezha hairstyle.

Fang Zhixing hurriedly greeted them, and the three incense masters were also polite.

Soon, Luo Peiyun and Luo Kezhao came into the hall.

"Greetings, sir, Second Young Master!"

Everyone saluted solemnly, with a full sense of ceremony.

Luo Peiyun sat down and said with a smile: "You're welcome, sit down, sit down."

"Thank you, sir." Everyone dispersed and sat down.

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing noticed a strange gaze staring at him. At a glance, he found that the person looking at him was Luo Kezhao.

For some reason, there was a look of disgust between Luo Kezhao's brows.

Fang Zhixing's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm.

Luo Peiyun raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come on, let's toast to Coach Fang and welcome him back."

"Coach Fang, please." Everyone raised their glasses.

Fang Zhixing stood up, raised his glass, and said sincerely, "Thank you for your support, and I wish you all the best."

Drink it all in one gulp.

The wine flows down the throat, creating a burning sensation and perfectly setting off the joyful atmosphere of the banquet.
