It's getting dark.
The county magistrate chose the right time and sent someone to invite the Wu Dalang brothers.
The two brothers naturally attended the banquet with pleasure.
They chatted for half a day.
Wu Dalang showed off his various gains and told others about what he had seen and heard in the tavern.
It was just because Wu Dalang had limited knowledge of the rules of the tavern and was not aware that he could invite others in after spending a certain amount of money, so he did not bring his brother into the tavern.
Even so, after testing his own strength and learning about Wu Dalang's abilities, Wu Song knew that the two brothers could easily fight their way into the capital with bare hands, let alone fight against thousands of troops.
Especially since they have Iron Man suits and weapons from the future.
At Wu Dalang's insistence, he gave the nano Iron Man suit to his younger brother, turning it into a bracelet on Wu Song's wrist, which could cover the whole body with just a thought.
As the two of them listened to the county magistrate's words, they both felt that the future was promising.
The opportunity to bring honor to the family was right before their eyes! The two brothers put on new clothes, happily walked hand in hand towards the county government office.
It is now dusk.
Along the way, everyone who saw the two greeted them eagerly.
The tiger-fighting hero Wu Song was already a celebrity in the surrounding area. The powerful Wu Dalang was even more famous than his brother, and he was even nicknamed "The Green Giant".
The person who came up with this name was Yun Ge.
He was determined to cling to Wu Dalang's thigh, and now he even called himself Wu Dalang's follower, naturally wanting to create momentum for him.
The nickname "Three-Inch Ding Gu Shuba" is too indecent, and the title "Green Giant" just happens to reflect his power.
The two brothers rushed to the county government office with smiles on their faces.
The county magistrate led a group of officials and gentry to go out and greet them in person.
Even though the two Wu brothers are no longer ordinary people, they still feel flattered when facing the smiling county magistrate and others.
The two were welcomed into the county government office and a sumptuous meal and wine was prepared for them.
After several rounds of humility, Wu Dalang was invited to the main seat, but he kept twisting his buttocks back and forth, and was fidgeting as if he had hemorrhoids.
Wu Song's expression became much calmer.
Seeing the county lieutenant and others who had been rude to him in the past now smiling and showing great enthusiasm, he even felt a sense of pride.
After all, he is not like his brother, who has broader knowledge and knows what the abilities he possesses represent.
And that mysterious tavern, if it is true as my brother said, even the emperor is far inferior to it!
The enthusiastic compliments from everyone gradually made him relax completely.
The county magistrate kept calling him "your humble official", which made Wu Dalang feel a little proud.
He also became more and more grateful for the tavern and its guests.
A few days ago, he was a penniless pancake seller, and his beautiful wife at home had an affair with another man and even intended to murder him.
The emergence of the tavern completely changed his destiny and made him the county magistrate's guest of honor!
After three rounds of drinks, it was already dark.
Wu Song suddenly asked: "Sir, County Magistrate, you said that the court treated my brother..."
Just as he was about to ask about the official appointment, he suddenly saw an official coming hurriedly.
The county magistrate saw the other party's expression, his face moved, and he smiled and said, "I will talk about this matter in detail later."
He stood up, bowed to everyone, and said, "Please wait a moment, I have something urgent to do and will be back soon."
Everyone agreed one by one.
Before leaving, he arranged for the county lieutenant, the chief clerk and several local gentry to entertain the Wu brothers.
Watching the county magistrate walking in a hurry, Wu Song always felt that something was not right.
But looking at the county lieutenant and others, he shook his head secretly, feeling that he was thinking too much.
These people's enthusiasm cannot be faked.
As the county magistrate went out, a pot of warm wine was brought over.
In a short while, the pot of wine was finished by everyone.
Another pot of warm wine was brought.
…
At this time, the county magistrate and a few of his confidants had already hurried to the outside of the city gate.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar and there were swaying torches.
"Student greets General Gao!"
When he saw clearly the man riding on a tall horse in front of him, the county magistrate knelt on the ground with an earnest look on his face!
Although he is a disciple of the emperor, he also has a heart for progress.
When he was in the capital earlier, he asked someone to introduce him to Gao Qiu. Although he had never met Gao Qiu, the gift was accepted by the other party.
This time he asked Wu Song to send the wealth he had acquired in the past few years to the capital, so that his family could use it to seek promotion.
Gao Qiu, a popular figure around the emperor, was naturally the best target to manage.
Therefore, he did not care that Gao Qiu had no knowledge and had a bad reputation in the court. He shamelessly called himself a student and even performed this great ceremony.
Seeing the county magistrate's expression, Gao Qiu also showed a smile on his face.
He was born a hanger-on and was criticized a lot in the court.
Now that he saw such a legitimate disciple of the emperor prostrating himself before him and being so humble as a dog, he was naturally in a very good mood.
"Get up," he said with a smile, "there is no such rule in our dynasty."
"It is only natural for a student to show such courtesy to his teacher!" The county magistrate stood up and walked forward with a flattering smile to help him lead the horse.
It is a rare opportunity to meet Gao Qiu. If I can gain his appreciation, I will have a chance to enter the central government.
As scholars, isn't what we seek to achieve success and fame?
"Why don't I remember having you as my student?" Gao Qiu asked with a smile.
"When the students took the imperial examination that year, the teacher was responsible for the order in the examination room..." The county magistrate tried to curry favor with the teacher.
Although they were not related at all, Gao Qiu suddenly realized something: "So that's it!"
"Last year, at the teacher's birthday party, the students asked someone to send a pair of jade unicorns to him," the county magistrate said, taking credit for it.
Gao Qiu had forgotten everything long ago, but now he smiled and said, "I see, it was you."
One person was leading the horse, and the other was riding on the horse. They chatted with each other and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Gao Qiu was able to become the Grand Marshal because, in addition to luck, he was also extremely cunning.
Even though he didn't know the origins of the county magistrate and had no intention of accepting the opportunity to curry favor with him, it did not affect his attitude.
He was happy to show a little kindness to such an insignificant little person.
He found it very interesting to see others burst into tears of gratitude because of this.
After chatting for a while, the county magistrate said that he had prepared a banquet and invited Gao Qiu to attend.
"Don't worry about eating. I heard that a monster appeared here?" Gao Qiu asked.
As a close minister to the emperor, he always put the other party's orders first.
"Yes..." The county magistrate recounted the story of Wu Dalang.
As early as when he saw Gao Qiu leading a large army gathering at the foot of the city and not letting people set up camp, he knew that the other party would deal with the matter as soon as possible.
The imperial edict said the same thing.
After listening to the county magistrate's story, Gao Qiu still didn't believe it: "You said that green-skinned monster was more than two meters tall?"
"That's right!" the county magistrate nodded.
"But you saw it with your own eyes?" Gao Qiu asked.
"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I have seen his footprints..." He gestured and said, "I also brought two witnesses..."
He waved at the two timid officers.
The two men hurried over and stammered about what they had seen.
After hearing what the other party said with details and evidence, Gao Qiu, who originally didn't quite believe it, suddenly became suspicious.
Gao Qiu nodded slightly.
For a moment, he believed what the county magistrate said about 70%.
There was no shortage of legends about gods and ghosts these days, and the emperor of the time was particularly fond of all kinds of auspicious signs, so people's acceptance of such things was not low.
"The people he killed had an irreconcilable feud with him," the county magistrate said, "even though the others bullied him on a daily basis, he never transformed to hurt them."
"Are you questioning His Majesty's decision?" Gao Qiu's face suddenly turned cold.
"I dare not. I just want to say that the two brothers are not vigilant enough, so I asked people to prepare a banquet and also prepared knockout drugs." The county magistrate said with sweat on his forehead.
He just wanted to test it out, but he didn't expect Gao Qiu to react so strongly.
"Well done." Gao Qiu smiled.
He was actually a little depressed.
In his opinion, when facing such a monster, the main thing to do is to recruit it.
But since the emperor had given the order, he dared not show any dissatisfaction.
"I think the medicine is about to take effect now, don't you think, teacher?" the county magistrate asked with a flattering smile.
Gao Qiu nodded, then gave an order and led thousands of elite soldiers towards the city.
Although several county magistrates described Wu Dalang as a terrifying person, he was well prepared when he went south to quell the rebellion.
He didn't believe that a mortal body could withstand the power of the divine arm crossbow!
Even if it was a monster! Seeing those murderous soldiers and the armor and weapons full of murderous aura, the county magistrate, who was still a little worried, gradually calmed down.
It's getting dark.
The flow of people on the streets in the city has long become sparse.
As rows of soldiers entered the city, some tightly closed windows were quietly opened.
Yun Ge was originally attending a banquet in a restaurant.
Because he had a close relationship with Wu Dalang, some people took the initiative to curry favor with him in order to curry favor with the Wu brothers.
At this time, he was bragging to others about Wu Dalang's bravery, calling him "Green Giant" all the time, claiming that his predecessor was the Giant Spirit God, and that he came to the world this time to drive out the Tartars and save the people!
Just as he was talking saliva flying, suddenly a servant came jogging over.
"Oh no, Brother Yun!"
Everyone at the table was puzzled.
When Yun Ge heard from the servant that an army was entering the city and heading straight for the county government office, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.
He is not stupid. Why would the imperial court send troops for no reason?
If we talk about the most sensational thing in Yanggu County these days, isn’t it the matter of Wu Dalang?
Many people privately say that Wu Dalang is a monster!
He asked a few more questions in disbelief, but heard footsteps outside the restaurant.
He leaned over to the window and looked out. When he saw the scene outside clearly, he was even more shocked.
The densely packed and powerful soldiers were enough to make him realize that these people were not friendly! For a moment, many people subconsciously kept their distance from Yun Ge.
…
The banquet in the county government office was still going on.
After another glass of wine, Wu Dalang's dark face began to show some redness.
His eyes were as clear as ever.
Even without transforming, his physique is a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary person, which is enough to make him immune to alcohol.
Wu Song, however, laughed loudly and took the initiative to persuade everyone to drink.
"My goodness..." The county lieutenant was speaking drunkenly when suddenly his head tilted and he fell directly onto the dining table.
Wu Song laughed: "You can't handle alcohol!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was another clang, and the chief clerk fell on the table, and his head hit the plate in front of him.
"You can't do it either!" Wu Song laughed again.
However, several more "clang" sounds were heard.
The rest of the people at the table fell down on the table one after another.
One person even dove headfirst into the scalding hot soup in front of him.
Another person fell to the ground with his chair.
Wu Dalang blinked blankly: "Are these people so weak in alcohol tolerance?"
"No!" Wu Song said seriously.
The country gentleman's face was sizzling from the heat, there was no reason for him not to wake up.
Besides, why was the timing of these people "falling drunk" so strange?
"It's been a while since the county magistrate left, right?!" Wu Song said with a frown.
Now Wu Dalang also realized that something was wrong.
He suddenly listened attentively and asked suspiciously, "Second brother, did you hear any sound?"
With the help of the God's Gene Wine, Wu Song also gained ninety-nine times the physical strength. After hearing Wu Dalang's words, he held his breath and listened, and indeed he heard a rumbling sound.
"It seems that the court has misunderstood me!" Wu Song stood up and said with a sneer on his face.
He exerted force with his feet, smashed the roof headfirst and stood on it.
Wu Dalang hesitated for a moment, then exerted force on his feet and jumped up.
The two stood on the roof, with the sound of wind whistling.
Even though it was dark, their vision was not affected much.
When they saw the dark army coming in the distance, they all suddenly realized what was going on.
"They sent so many troops here, they really think highly of me!" Wu Song snorted.
Wu Dalang's face suddenly changed, and he asked nervously, "What should I do?"
Wu Song laughed and said, "Brother, don't you think they should be the ones asking what to do?"
them?
Wu Dalang was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly thought of his own extraordinary strength and reacted.
"Yes!" he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Wu Song's appearance, he was still a little worried and said, "I'll deal with them later, you..."
"We are brothers, so we should fight side by side!" Wu Song said with a smile, "Brother, do you think these people can hurt me?"
Wu Dalang changed his mind and realized that with Wu Song's physique ninety-nine times stronger than that of an ordinary person, it was almost the same as his own before the transformation. There was no need for him to be afraid of ordinary people's weapons.
Besides, he has a battle suit.
"The guests are coming soon, let's go out to greet them!" Wu Song jumped off the roof.
Wu Dalang jumped behind him.
Looking at his brother's tall back, he felt a strong sense of heroism in his heart. He took the initiative to quicken his pace and walk side by side with him.
The two brothers soon arrived at the gate of the county government office.
The sound of horse hooves followed one after another.
When Wu Song saw clearly the figure riding a horse in front of him, his eyes narrowed.
When he saw the man leading the horse, a sneer appeared on his face.
Gao Qiu and others also saw the two brothers standing outside the door with swords drawn.
One tall and one short, very conspicuous.
