Invincible Iron Man 60, Big Duel Book Flag
"Great Martial Arts Competition" Wang An received the order from the Jiedushi and was suddenly extremely shocked. Jiang Cai said: "Our army has just been trained for a short time, how can we be the opponent of those regular armies? Moreover, our army was established to deal with the Xiongnu, most of the soldiers are crossbowmen, not good at close combat, we are not the opponents of these tiger and wolf-like troops (these tiger and wolf-like troops only refer to internal affairs)". Li Litou stared at the messenger with a piercing gaze, making the messenger's heart wail in despair, constantly praying for divine protection. His predecessor was beaten by Wang An and others, after returning, his wife soon became depressed, it is said that this messenger suffered serious injuries, and his ability was greatly reduced.
Wang An's place has been listed as a danger zone by the entire messenger corps. They looked at the soldiers who went to deliver messages to Wang An with sympathetic faces, thinking that another man was gone and there would be one more eunuch in the world.
The orderly thought to himself: "Everyone, all the immortals, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Buddhas must protect my safety and not let them beat me up." Li Li said: "Why don't we just capture this orderly and say we didn't receive any orders?" The orderly's heart sank, and Jiang Zai said: "Don't be reckless."
The soldier who was responsible for delivering the message to Wang An finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he had made it back alive. When he left, he was one man, and when he returned, he was still one man - it wasn't easy at all.
Huying was still enjoying her luxurious life, and she liked to get whatever she wanted immediately. If a merchant refused, Huying would order the severe punishment of prisoners in the large prison, forcing them to confess that the merchant was their accomplice. Then she would have the merchant arrested and thrown into the large prison, from which it was almost impossible to come out alive. As for the merchant's property, it would naturally be confiscated, and eventually, it would end up in her hands.
Tian Lingshan is now indulging in food, drink and gambling everywhere, ignoring Hu Yinyin's misdeeds. As for County Magistrate Tian Kun, he is still secretly condoning Hu Yinyin, thinking to himself that his wife is indeed capable of managing the household, with the family's wealth increasing by almost as much in a few months as it did in previous years.
Wang An's name had also spread to Qingquan County, but Hu Yinyin didn't take it to heart at all. She thought that Wang An, the good-for-nothing, absolutely didn't have such skills, and these two people must be namesakes or misheard, passing on the wrong name. As for whether it was really Wang An, there's nothing to fear anyway. Now Wang An is just a hundred-man commander, and there are many ways to get rid of him, such as sending someone to assassinate him, or buying off his superiors, secretly dealing with him.
Wang An's heart was also filled with thoughts of revenge at all times, but he knew that now was not the time. If he went back now, it would be futile to try and rescue Hu Yinyin, and he might even lose his own life.
Armies from all over the country marched into Youyang, and Wang An's army also headed towards Youyang. The armies participating in this martial competition were randomly selected from those not performing combat missions.
Wang An's army arrived at the Yu Yang City, and many soldiers were visiting the city for the first time. They felt a sense of novelty about everything. "Hundred-man commander, look! There are two big lions in front of this gate!" Wang An said, "Of course, this is a wealthy household, so it's natural to have lions." The soldier asked with reverence, "What kind of household is this?" Wang An replied, "This is the Ji Institute." All the soldiers exclaimed, "It's truly breathtaking!" Wang An was speechless for a moment.
The soldier pointed at another courtyard with lions and said, "Hundred-man commander, look! This Ji Institute is really beautiful. The price of the girls inside must be very expensive, right?" Wang An nodded and said, "Of course, it's worth tens of thousands of taels of silver." The soldier exclaimed, "Wow, that's too expensive!" Wang An said, "That's because you're referring to the Jiedushi's mansion." The soldiers were shocked and thought, "We are so uncultured. We can't even recognize the Jiedushi's mansion, which is as big as a fight. If we accidentally asked about the price of the girls here, wouldn't that be fatal?"
The soldier looked at Wang An again and asked, "Hundred-man commander, have you been here before? How do you know the price?" Wang An hastily shook his head and said, "No, I'm a decent person!" The soldiers didn't believe him and thought, "Who would believe this?" At that moment, the soldiers' gossiping souls were awakened by Wang An. They wondered if the Jiedushi was not as upright as he seemed on the surface but was secretly involved in some shady dealings with guests.
The soldier continued to ask, "Hundred-man commander, if you didn't have any dealings with the Jiedushi, how do you know it's tens of thousands per night?" Wang An replied, "I'm telling you, I've sold things to the Jiedushi before." The soldiers' eyes widened in surprise, thinking that their hundred-man commander was capable of anything and had even done something as outrageous as selling things to the Jiedushi.
Wang An continued to shout at the soldiers: "That Wang Hu, don't touch with your hands, that's a sugar man for eating, not playing. That Zhao Long, that's rat poison, how can you eat everything?" Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise there would have been non-combat casualties in this smoke-free place.
When Wang An arrived at the military camp prepared for them, he found that it was already fully occupied by soldiers. The general in charge of the camp apologized to Wang An, saying: "I'm sorry, sir, they came first and the defense envoy saw that there was no one here and arranged for them to stay here, we had no choice." Wang An said: "Wasn't this allocated to us? How can you change it arbitrarily?"
The general said, "There's no way around it, this is the order of the Dulin Defense Envoy. Please don't make things difficult for us, Your Excellency." Although Wang An felt angry, he was also at a loss for what to do. He continued to ask, "Then where are we supposed to stay?" The general replied, "Your Excellency can go take a look at the other military camps. If there's no room, you can choose to stay at the post station." Wang An said, "The post station is not suitable for so many people to live in. If there's nowhere else to stay, are we supposed to sleep on the streets?" The general shook his head and said, "No way, this place has a curfew, you can't be out at night, let alone stay overnight." Wang An asked again, "Then where are we supposed to stay?" The general replied, "You can leave the city and set up camp outside of Yuyang City." Wang An refused, saying, "No way, if we camp outdoors for too long, my soldiers will get sick." The general said, "I also have no choice." Wang An said, "I'll go find the Jiedushi and reason with him."
"Sorry, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter the mansion of the Jiedushi." The guard blocked Wang An at the door. Wang An said: "You're new here, right? Back then I could come and go as I pleased, and no one ever stopped me." The guard replied: "The rules have changed now. Only officials above the rank of Tuanlian can enter the Jiedushi's mansion. Otherwise, every Baidu Zhang would have to see the Jiedushi, it would be chaotic here."
Wang An nodded and said, "You're right, I won't make it difficult for you. Go call the Jiedushi to come see me." The guard captain's mouth was agape, thinking that this guy must have lost his mind, actually asking the Jiedushi to condescend to meet with him - did he not want to live?
Wei Bing drove King An away in anger, and King An was also furious: "The new person got on the bed, the matchmaker threw it over the wall. If there was no me, King An, this place would have been conquered by the Xiongnu long ago. Liu Jiao Jiao would have become someone else's plaything. Now Liu Jiao Jiao has forgotten her gratitude and is unrighteous. It's unbelievable." King An looked at the mansion of the governor, his heart full of bitterness, thinking that when Yu Yang was besieged, he had used all his strength to protect this city, but now he had no place here, it was really infuriating to think about.
Here is the translation:
Wang An returned to where his soldiers were staying. At this time, Wang Hu ran over and said: "Centurion, Zhao Long has been beaten up." Wang An asked: "What happened?" Wang Hu replied: "I was with Zhao Long outside our original camp when four people came asking which team we belonged to. We told them we were from Wang An's team, and they immediately started fighting without saying a word. Centurion, did you offend someone? Think about it, who did you offend?"
Wang An remained silent for a moment, then Wang Hu urged: "Centurion, quickly say, who did you offend?" Wang An said: "I'm thinking... this time I must have offended Du Lin, Wang Xueli, Qian Xuegui, Zhao Xiangqian, and Sun Zhicheng." The soldiers were stunned, thinking to themselves: "Good grief! He actually offended the five great defense marshals. Fortunately, he didn't offend the Jiedushi (military governor)."
Wang An continued: "Could it be that the Jiedushi wants to cause trouble for me? But I haven't offended her either... except for selling her out three times, hitting her with a blunt instrument a few times, though not too hard. She just got a headache and bled a bit, and fainted a few times. And I also stripped off her clothes. Apart from these things, I didn't offend her in any other way."
The soldiers all took a step back, thinking to themselves: "My goodness! If this isn't offending someone, what is? What else can you do to offend someone? These actions... even if it were one of us men, we'd want to chop him up into a thousand pieces!"
Wang Hu said: "It's not the time for you to be sentimental, Zhao Long is being beaten up on the ground", Wang An said: "Since it was just the two of you who went out, how did he get beaten up?", Wang Hu said: "I saw that there were four people on the other side, so I told Zhao Long 'Brother, hold on for a bit, I'll go find some people', and then I ran back", Wang An became enraged and said: "Someone come here! Give me 50 military rods, let's see who dares to abandon their comrades again!", Wang Hu said: "I am willing to accept punishment, but this is not the time for punishment, Zhao Long is still being beaten up", Wang An said: "This can be easily taken care of, they have four people, I'll get 40 people and beat them until they can't even recognize their own parents".
Wang Hu led forty men with great fanfare and an air of invincibility to see the Grand Master. Along the way, Wang Hu cracked his knuckles in preparation for a big fight.
