Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 109
There was no talking all night, and it was still dark the next day. Wang Daoqiu was urged by Lu Bing to hit the road.

After washing up, they came to the gathering place. The four teenagers from yesterday were all dressed in new clothes and stood there waiting in good spirits.It seems that Lu Bing told them last night that people here gave them food and drink so that they could present it to Wang Daoqiu in a good way.

We all met each other, and with Lu Bing and the others present, Wang Daoqiu couldn't say anything.So he just nodded to them, and then consciously let Lu Bing's men cover his eyes.

It was still the same old recipe as before. Wang Daoqiu sat on the horse with his eyes covered, Jin Yiwei held the reins, and walked out of the mountain like this.

When they came out of the mountains, it was already bright, and then everyone galloped towards Beijing.

Entering the city, Lu Bing cupped his hands to Wang Daoqiu and said: "Liangzhen, brother, I have to go to the Jinyi Guards to inquire about the interrogation of Xiong Yan yesterday, so that the emperor will not wait for questioning. These four little The rabbit will be left to you, brother, and your horse will be given to you as well.”

One for himself and one for each of the four boys, so five more horses were given away, which made Wang Daoqiu a little embarrassed.But after getting along with each other for many days, Wang Daoqiu realized that Lu Bing was a forthright person, and that being too pretentious would only make him appear out of character.

So when faced with Lu Bing's gift of another horse, Wang Daoqiu didn't say anything about the hypocrisy. He just gave Lu Bing a fist and thanked him: "Since it was a gift from my brother, I won't be polite to you anymore. Thank you very much." Brother."

"Hi, you and I are my brothers. We are all polite. Liangzhen, I say goodbye to you."

"Better go, brother."

After bidding farewell to Lu Bing and watching Lu Bing drive away, Wang Daoqiu took the four teenagers to a Zhejiang-style restaurant for breakfast, which he usually liked.When steaming baskets of Jiangnan breakfast were placed on the table, Wang Daoqiu moved his chopsticks first, and then greeted the four of them to eat.

Inviting people to dinner in China is an effective social way to get closer to each other.Especially these four teenagers, who were sent to the Jinyiwei training camp when they were four or five years old and lived an inhuman life.

In the Jinyiwei training camp, the purpose of everything is to train people into ruthless tools who absolutely obey orders, including eating.So in the memory of these four teenagers, this is the first time that such a relaxed and free eating atmosphere like in a restaurant.

So I looked at the diners around me who were sitting or standing, chatting loudly, and even fighting with each other.The four teenagers held chopsticks in their hands and didn't know what to do.

Wang Daoqiu had never been a soldier in his previous life, but he had heard that people's individuality was strictly suppressed there.The so-called military regulations are to turn people into robots with no thoughts and personality, and only know how to obey instructions.

In the people-oriented society of later generations, the so-called disciplinary forces were still like this, let alone the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty in the [-]th century.

After thinking about this, Wang Daoqiu said kindly to the four teenagers: "From now on, you four will be my guards. I am not that particular. In private, when no other courtiers are present, you You can be more casual in front of me. Okay, don’t talk nonsense, let’s eat!”

"promise"

Wang Daoqiu gave the order, and the four people agreed, and then looked at the food on the table.The eating speed suddenly reminded Wang Daoqiu of the legends on the Internet about the speed at which special forces soldiers eat.

When these four people destroyed all the food on the table almost in one breath, and then stared at him with paralyzed expressions.Wang Daoqiu smiled helplessly, and then he tactfully called the waiter to come over and served five bowls of rotten pork noodles and fifteen large steamed buns.

The food was served quickly in the restaurant, and the four people ate even faster. Wang Daoqiu had no choice but to let the waiter serve steamed buns and meatloaf for them for the third time.

After the four people were full and began to burp there with a look of enjoyment, Wang Daoqiu said angrily and funnyly: "Okay, I've already eaten this meal, and you guys can introduce me to you too." Just yourself!”

"This"

After hearing Wang Daoqiu ask them to introduce themselves, the four people looked at each other in confusion.After a while, the oldest one among them came out and hugged Wang Daoqiu, clasping his fist and saying: "Master, we only have numbers in the camp, but no names. The instructor said that whichever master we are assigned to in the future, we will be named after that master." .”

Uh, that’s right!Wang Daoqiu understood.So after understanding what was going on, Wang Daoqiu said to the four of them: "My official surname is Wang, my first name is Daoqiu, and my courtesy name is Liangzhen. I am currently a second-grade servant. From now on, you can follow my surname and also be surnamed Wang. !" "Thank you, Master."

The four boys were also happy when they heard that Wang Daoqiu was willing to let them take his surname.After all, when they were training in the camp, they heard the instructor say that if your master is willing to let you take his last name, that is the greatest recognition of you and treats you as his own family.So now when they heard that Wang Daoqiu asked the four of them to take the surname Wang from now on, these four boys were happy, and they immediately knelt down in front of Wang Daoqiu in this restaurant.

Now is the peak time for breakfast in the restaurant. These four boys knelt down to Wang Daoqiu so loudly in public that they immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding diners, which made Wang Daoqiu embarrassed.

So Wang Daoqiu, who was blushing at the sight of everyone, had no choice but to apologize to everyone around him, and then led the four boys down to the restaurant.

After arriving outside the restaurant and taking the horse back from the waiter, Wang Daoqiu said to the four boys: "Now that we have a surname, as for what you want to be called, you can think about it yourself when you get home. By the way, After you go home, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone, you are Jin Yiwei's business, let alone those things in the training camp."

"promise"

Wang Daoqiu didn't want the identities of these four people to scare others. At the same time, he also wanted these four people to forget their past and start their new lives as soon as possible.So he ordered that these four people were not allowed to mention their past experiences to others.

After giving instructions to these four people, Wang Daoqiu took them home.Five people rode horses to Wang Daoqiu's new house in Neiguanjian Hutong, and saw an old man with white beard and hair on the steps of the door, wearing a brand new green cloth, sitting there basking in the sun.

How come there is such a laid-back old man at the door of his house?This made Wang Daoqiu very curious, so Wang Daoqiu rode over and looked at the old man carefully.

And the old man also noticed Wang Daoqiu and the others riding a tall horse.So he stood up and stood there, staring at Wang Daoqiu and the others, waiting for Wang Daoqiu and the others to ask questions.

Approaching and facing the old man, Wang Daoqiu asked: "Old man, why are you sitting at the door of my house? What's the matter with you?"

"What, this is your door? You are the top scholar in Imke."

"Yes, my king Daoqiu, I wonder what's going on with the old man at my door?"

Wang Daoqiu revealed his identity, but the old man was obviously not sure about Wang Daoqiu's identity.So he stood there awkwardly, not knowing where to put his hands, looking panicked.

Seeing that the old man was so nervous, he didn't answer his own words.So Wang Daoqiu asked again: "Old man, old man, what are you doing sitting in front of my house?"

"Hi! I'm sorry, sir, the little old man is the concierge here, and he's on duty for the first day today. I don't know if you are my master. So, so!"

So it seems that this old man should be the concierge that Gaoyi recommended to him before.After understanding the identity of the other party, Wang Daoqiu smiled and said: "Oh, from what I heard, you should be recommended by Gao Yi and Gao Hanlin, right?"

"Yes, yes, oh, it turns out it's really the master! Damn it, little old man. Go and open the door for the master."

As soon as Wang Daoqiu said Gao Yi's name and knew that he was recommended by Gao Yi, the old man also believed that the young man in front of him was his master.So he looked annoyed and ran to help Wang Daoqiu open the door.

At this time, Wang Daoqiu had to rush to Xiyuan to be on duty, and when he came back, he only arranged for his four guards.Seeing that his concierge was going to open the door, he stopped him first, and told him that the door was not busy, and asked him to call Mrs. Qiu out first.

After receiving his master's instructions, the old man did not dare to say anything. He hurriedly opened the door and went inside to call Sister Qiu.

After Qiu Sao came out, Wang Daoqiu asked Qiu Sao to arrange residence for his four guards and buy bedding and other daily necessities.Then he rejected the four boys' offer to follow him and rode to Xiyuan alone.
