Turbulent Times Chapter 86: Contest


Wang Junlin smiled wryly in his heart, knowing that today's family banquet might have the implication of a blind date, and Yu Juluo wanted to recruit him as the son-in-law of the Yu family, which can be seen from Yu Juluo's painstaking arrangements.

Actually, Yu Juluo had long wanted to recruit Wang Junlin as the son-in-law of the Yu family, but to avoid embarrassment, Yu Juluo didn't want to propose it rashly, so he wanted to use this opportunity of the banquet to let Wang Junlin and Let's get in touch with my three daughters first to see if there is anyone who can catch Wang Junlin's eye.

This means that the Yu family was born as a general, and the etiquette in terms of defense between men and women is not very strict. Otherwise, it would be difficult to do this kind of blind date if you are a civil servant and a powerful family.

Next, Yu Juluo introduced three daughters to Wang Junlin in turn. The girl with thick eyebrows is the eldest daughter, named Yu Sirui, who is sixteen years old. The weak girl is the second daughter, named Yu Shiyin, fourteen years old. The most beautiful girl is the youngest, named Yu Shijing, twelve years old.

The names of the three girls are very poetic. Wang Junlin knew that the names of the three girls must not have been given by Yujuluo. He heard that Mrs. Yujuluo was a Han nationality Xiaobiyu. Itching, I heard it was quite serious, so I didn't come out to see customers.

According to Yu Juluo's thinking, the little girl Yu Shijing is gentle, quiet, and beautiful, which makes Wang Junlin like it even more. As for her young age, he has never thought of it this way. Yu Juluo and most of the generals in the Sui Dynasty The same, they all have Xianbei blood, inherited the grassland nomadic tradition of women marrying early, and it is customary to marry at the age of twelve.

At this time, the women of the Han nationality are later, so as to avoid the women's early pregnancy and injury.

"The three of you haven't met your brother Wang yet."

Yu Juluo winked at the three granddaughters, and the three daughters got up at the same time, Yingying saluted Wang Junlin: "I have met Wang Shixiong!"

Wang Junlin didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly replied: "I have seen the three younger sisters."

At this time, a group of maids came in with dishes and placed them in front of everyone one by one. The banquet began. Yu Juluo was not from aristocratic background and had no family background. And he loves soldiers like a son. Although he has obtained a lot of wealth from military pay and military merits, most of them have been given to his subordinates. While being supported by his subordinates, it has made his own family not rich. Rubies the size of a fist can be considered family heirlooms.

Therefore, there are no rare delicacies in the dishes of Yujia. The main dishes are the main dishes from the Northwest. There will be no shortage of beef and mutton. There are also some delicate and light side dishes, but the wine is the best wine from the Western Regions. Presumably this is mostly filial piety by the generals and officers.

The living room became lively, the children of the Yu family chatted in low voice while eating. Other than the guests, juniors like them are not allowed to speak, of course Wang Junlin likes this, otherwise it would be awkward.

Yu Juluo saw that the three daughters were eating in silence, and no one was talking to Wang Junlin. With a cough, the three girls stopped.

The eldest daughter, Yu Sirui, took the lead and asked with a smile: "I heard that Brother Shi has made great achievements in his mission to the Western Regions this time. Will he go to the capital to accept His Majesty's reward?"

Wang Junlin shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either."

"Oh! Why is that?"

"No reason, it's not mentioned in the edict!"

Wang Junlin replied very flatly, as if he was not interested in this Yu Sirui, Yu Sirui felt that Wang Junlin was perfunctory him, she was disappointed in her heart, lowered her head to eat, and didn't say much.

The three girls were originally a little afraid of Wang Junlin because of his vicious reputation. Seeing that Wang Junlin seemed not very talkative, they refused to speak and kept eating in silence. Even if Yu Juluo coughed and winked again, they did not speak. .

In fact, Yu Shijing, the youngest, wanted to say something several times, but she was only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Facing Wang Junlin, she was genuinely afraid and even more at a loss. She didn't know what to say for a while. Also silent.

Yu Juluo saw it in his eyes, sighed slightly, and thought to himself: "It's just my wishful thinking, or maybe my method is wrong."

But he didn't know that Wang Junlin did it on purpose. According to the original historical development, Yu Juluo would be killed by Yang Guang. , he was already close enough to Yu Juluo, and he had gained a great reputation. If he became Yu Juluo's son-in-law again, with Yang Guang's character, he would probably kill them together without saying a word.

The family banquet ended after nearly an hour, Yuzi drank some wine silently, and then clamored to compete with Wang Junlin. Yu Juluo's martial arts can be ranked among the top three in the whole world. Although he has practiced that extraordinary skill, he knows that if he fights head-on, he is far from Yu Juluo's opponent.

He has been stationed in Gaotai City for more than half a year, and he has not had much time to ask Yu Juluo for advice. If he can get guidance from a master like Yu Juluo today, it will be of great help to improve his martial arts.

When the four servants brought up two sledgehammers the size of a child's head that Yu Zimo used, Wang Junlin was shocked. These are **** hammers, okay? Bar! But under his witness, Yu Zimo picked up the two hammers with ease.

Since Wang Junlin has practiced miraculous skills, his personal strength has been a little inflated these days. Although he valued Yu Zimo just now, he never thought that he would lose to this young man, but now his expression has become serious.

Yu Zimo was wearing a blue cotton coat, and he didn't speak, let alone be rude. After taking the hammer, he roared and rushed towards Wang Junlin. He ran extremely fast, like the wind. When he rushed in front of Wang Junlin, he raised his hand and pointed out with a hammer. There is a saying in the hammering method, which made Feng nod his head.

The other hammer is hidden under the rib, which is called Moqiu hammer.

Just listen to woo, jingle... The long sound of gold and iron colliding echoed in the air. Wang Junlin put a steel knife in his hand and placed an iron latch to block it outwards. After going out for two or three zhang, although he landed steadily, it surprised him. You must know that he had already used 30% of his true energy and physical strength just now.

This guy is a monster!

If it wasn't for his steel knife, it was made by him, and it was directly smashed by this hammer.

Wang Junlin's true energy poured into the hand holding the knife, and the numbness disappeared in an instant. Only then did he realize that the people around him were also surprised when they looked at him. After all, he, Wang Junlin, is famous for his poison skills, and his martial arts are only mediocre in rumors.

One hammer did not knock Wang Junlin down, Yu Zimo was very angry, shrugged his elbows under his ribs, shrugged his shoulders, held the hammer in both hands and parted to both sides, and said in a buzzing voice: "Take another hammer!"

This time Wang Junlin no longer underestimated the enemy, and the steel knife in his hand flew up and down, taking the initiative to set off a light of the knife, and took the lead in striking.

Yuzi watched silently as the steel knife struck, and with a cold snort, he struck with the hammer.

This is called one power drop ten times, no matter how exquisite your saber technique is, I will fight you head to head. If Wang Junlin pours all the true energy in his body into his hands, his strength will not be weaker than Yu Zimo, but with him Although his character is not willing to head-to-head, and although his weapon is heavier than ordinary long swords, it is still not enough compared to this hammer. Every time you face the hammer, you should either dodge it, or move it aside cleverly.

After a stick of incense, Yu Zimo was sweating profusely, squatting on the ground exhausted and gasping for breath, while Wang Junlin was still in high spirits. This is the greatest advantage of his inner strength and breath adjustment skills compared to the orthodox warriors of this era— —Long energy.

The rest of the Yu family retreated, and Yu Juluo took Wang Junlin for a walk in the mansion to digest food.

"Junlin, the Holy Majesty has decided to make King Jin the crown prince, can you hear?" Yu Juluo asked Wang Junlin in a low voice.

Yu Juluo said that there are too many meanings in this sentence, but although Wang Junlin intends to let people inquire about the news of the Kyoto court recently, after all, the distance is too far away, and there is no basic manpower in Kyoto, so he doesn't know Yu Juluo. What Ju Luo meant was that he shook his head honestly and said: "The younger generation is just the guard of the small town of the frontier army. How could the younger generation know about such a major event in the center of the court? But the younger generation thinks that it is better for the younger generation to become the prince."

Yu Juluo chuckled, glanced at Wang Junlin, and said, "I think so too, to set up the young and waste the old is the way to bring disaster since ancient times!"

"What uncle said is very true." Wang Junlin said very cautiously.

At this time, the two of them came to Wangfeng Pavilion on the third floor of the general manager's mansion. Every state capital's chief executive's mansion or governor's mansion will build a hopeful wind pavilion. Parents of a state can have an overview of the situation of the state city in the Wangfeng pavilion.

Wang Junlin looked to the north, and under the moonlight, he could see the low and gentle hills and dense forests on both sides of the Yellow River. On both sides of the Yellow River, there were large fertile lands. The people of the Sui Dynasty cultivated these lands for generations.

In the night, the Yellow River is like a glistening black jade belt wrapped around this vast and fertile land.

Looking at this majestic mountain and river, Wang Junlin couldn't help but feel emotional when he thought that the world would be in chaos in a few years, and the people would die in a few years. Tens of millions of people would die in a few years. , He has come to this era, knowing the direction of history, why can't these things be avoided?

"In this way, uncle supports the crown prince, but opposes the king of Jin." Wang Junlin thought for a while, and directly asked the most critical question.

Wang Junlin was willing to talk to him about such a taboo, which made Yu Juluo very pleased, without any hesitation, he said: "Although I said just now that raising the young and disposing of the elders is the way to bring disaster, but I support King Jin, The prince is not supported."

Wang Junlin was greatly surprised, and said: "Why must Uncle support King Jin, why not the Crown Prince?"
