NOVEL NEXT Chapter 124 Return to Qiaoxi
It was not uncommon in the Wei Dynasty for people to have both civil and military roles and hold dual positions.
But it was rare for Zhou Yuan to have a military post in the Yulin Army and a civilian post in the Jiuqing Shaofu.
The Jiuqing Shaofu is in charge of the royal family's property, the emperor's clothing, food, housing and transportation and other matters, as well as the taxes on mountains, seas and ponds.
The Yulin Army is the emperor's direct personal army and has the responsibility of guarding the emperor, guarding the palace, and guarding the capital.
Therefore, Lieutenant Yulin and Shaofu's Fu Jieliang coincided, and it seemed that he was highly valued by the emperor. He could be regarded as turning from a simple military attache to a new noble in the court.
Coupled with the record of meritorious service promised in the canonization decree and the title of Lord, Du Yi, a noble disciple, was extremely envious.
"Brother Zhou is really amazing. My biggest wish in joining the army is to serve the country and to be qualified to inherit my father's title.
But I didn't expect that I, a young man in the shadow, was still praying for the honor of my father, but you were going to be single and establish a career, make meritorious deeds and be awarded a title. "
"When my son and heir meet your son and heir in the future, they will most likely think that both of them are equal and that they are both noble heirs.
But now you and I are walking together and there is no equality. Brother Zhou is so much better than me, making me feel ashamed. "
Du Yi's speech was not a compliment, but a true feeling.
Zhou Yuan's current achievements made him feel like he was facing the first generation of noble warriors.
They all have the same humble background, the same outstanding talents, and even the same fortune. They have the ability to lead the country to prosperity, and are qualified to retire with the country.
Therefore, Du Yi, a noble son who has not yet inherited the title, has extremely complicated feelings when facing Zhou Yuan, who wants to be awarded a title for his meritorious service.
"Brother Du, why do you say this? You and I both have the ambition to protect the country, but we have different strengths.
Your martial arts skills are not inferior to mine, and your ambition is noble and lofty. You should be regarded as a hero, so there is no difference between you and me. "
"Brother Zhou, I am very happy to be recognized by you. You and I can encourage each other, practice and prove it."
Perhaps stimulated by Zhou Yuan, after the two talked, Du Yi walked to the school field with a bow in hand to practice martial arts.
Zhou Yuan did not want to slack off due to his achievements, so he also picked up his bow and arrow and went to the school grounds to practice martial arts.
After dinner, he returned to the barracks and experimented with the gang teleportation function.
Because he set up the gang's headquarters as the "Habayashi Zuoyingwei Zhou Duwei Barracks", which is the current residence.
So after he activated the gang teleportation, he was still in his barracks.
However, this close-range teleportation allowed him to observe the actual performance of the gang's teleportation function.
When he activated the gang teleportation and returned to the gang station, two green vortexes appeared at the same time between his feet and the barracks.
The whole process lasted about three minutes before the cyan vortex was completely formed. He fell into the vortex instantly and emerged from another vortex.
Then he tried to move the position again when teleporting to see what effect it had. Unexpectedly, the teleportation was interrupted directly and he could not move and teleport at the same time.
"No wonder the function introduction shows that it can be teleported back to the gang station in a non-combat state."
The gang teleportation function cannot be used as an emergency escape method, as it is not perfect.
However, when this function is in Zhou Yuan's hands, it will not just be a simple gang teleportation.
He plans to build it into a super long-distance, directional teleportation skill that will allow him to travel to various areas at any time.
"First disband the gang, and then choose Zhou Shitou's residence in Qiaoxi Village as the gang's residence to try the effect."
As Zhou Yuan disbanded the gang and re-selected its location, the destination of the gang's teleportation function became Qiaoxi Village.
In order to avoid neighbors living in the village house where he had not returned for a long time, he also put on the "skin of the god of the village" and disguised himself as a kind old man.
When he activated the gang's teleportation function again, the two-month journey became one step away.
"I don't know what has become of Qiaoxi Village, or whether Lao Li Zheng has embezzled my house."
As the green vortex emerges, the next moment, the wanderer returns to his hometown and his old house is safe.
However, when he left, he was still Qiaoxi Zhou Shitou, a crazy young man with no reputation.
When he came back, he had become Zhou Yuan of Jing'an, Ying Guan of Yulin, and the leader of Xinyuan of the Wei Dynasty who was famous far and wide.
Yin Chao's room has not changed, and even the wooden pillar on which the bowl is placed beside his bed is still there.
The only change is that it has become cleaner and neater. His shabby bedding has been washed, mended, and neatly stacked.
It feels unusually dry to the touch and smells like sun exposure.
The ground inside the house had been compacted twice, and the greasy stains in the potholes were no longer there, but instead became as flat as a rammed earth wall.
There are several wooden stamps inlaid on the wall, and his hatchets, wooden poles, old clothes, and even eggs tied with hemp rope are hung neatly.
It was as if he had never left, and as if his house had become a place to record certain experiences.
The faint moonlight reflected on the window sill. He opened the door and looked outside. Qiaoxi Village was still there, but its appearance had changed.
Towering archways stand at the head of the village, with three archways in total from low to high.
Zhou Yuan has the full level of Guangmu Technique, so he can naturally see the huge writing on it clearly.
He is a folk hero, a country legacy, one of the top three in achievements, the leader of Xinyuan, the Yulin of the country, and the great Wei Zhongyong.
"Why didn't anyone inform me when it was erected?"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuan felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. His arrival would finally change something.
Looking below the archway, we can see that a smaller building has been built, a three-entry mansion has its skeleton, and there are plaques hanging above the doors.
Yulin Captain Zhou's Mansion and Zhou Family Ancestral Hall.
There are still figures and bonfires flickering near the building, which should be built overtime.
Zhou Yuan left the courtyard and walked towards the direction of the bonfire, wanting to see who was building a mansion for him.
With his skills, he would not alarm the neighbors.
When he sneaked into the repaired Zhou Family Ancestral Hall under the cover of night, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Uncle Dahuang, do you think Brother Shitou will come back?"
"Ergou, stop talking about Shitou all the time. My ears are almost callused from hearing it.
Besides, why come back? It's so good to go to Beijing. If he dares to come back, I will scold him back."
"Haha..., you don't dare. Don't you see who you auxiliary soldiers are building houses for?
If the officials of the county office's craftsmanship department know that you dare to scold Brother Shitou, they will definitely send you back to Jing'an City to continue serving."
"That's true, but Shitou is one of us. If those officials dare to bully us, we will write to Shitou.
Let Shitou dispatch troops and arrest them all to build the canal."
From time to time, the laughter of Ergou and Zhao Dahuang could be heard from the side room, and there was even a hint of wine.
"Old Zhou is really lucky. I don't know how he gave birth to a Wu Qu star.
We, the neighbors, are also lucky. In the future, the police and clerks will not dare to exploit us. Our lives will get better and better."
"That's right. My brother Shitou has been kind and righteous since he was a child. Before he joined the army, he told me that if he made a name for himself, I should report his name if I was bullied in the future.
But before I could say anything, General Cheng, the county lieutenant, found me and gave me a job.
He also told me to work hard and not lose face for Zhou Bangkui, otherwise brother Shitou would regret writing a letter to comfort me."
"You really have to work hard. If you dare to make a mistake, we, the old men, will beat you to death in this Zhou Family Temple without Shitou's help."
