Ling Yi was slightly surprised by Wu Song's arrival, but it was also within reason.
After all, Wu Da's reputation in the Wu Family Manor has already spread far and wide.
Wu Dalang uprooted a willow tree; Wu Da built the Wu Family Village on Jingyang Ridge; Wu Da was public-spirited, charitable, and spent a lot of money to provide food and lodging for the people free of charge; Wu Da's virtue moved Heaven, and his originally short stature has now transformed into a handsome man of eight feet tall.
With the arrival of the Wu Family Manor caravan, each and every one of these events brought considerable fame to Wu Da.
His reputation has even surpassed that Squire Chai Little Whirlwind Chai Jin and Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King- Chao Gai Heavenly King Headman Chao.
Wu Song had been staying at Chai Jin's residence for some time and had heard many stories about his elder brother.
This gave Wu Song the idea of seeking refuge at Wu Da from the very beginning.
However, since he had received Chai Jin's favor, he felt bad about leaving so easily. In addition, the weather was freezing cold and the journey would be too difficult, so he thought he would leave next spring.
A few days ago, he learned from Chai Jin that Mount Liang was going to attack Wu Family Manor, which made him anxious. He bid farewell to Chai Jin overnight and rushed all the way, finally arriving at the Wu Family Manor this afternoon.
Chai Jin knew about this because Wu Yong had previously approached Chai Jin, wanting to recruit him to join Mount Liang in plotting against the Wu Family Manor.
Chai Jin naturally disagreed. On the one hand, he greatly admired Wu Da's character; in these times, there were very few people who could truly do things for the people.
On the other hand, Wu Song was in his mansion.
Moreover, Chai Jin was not short of money and looked down on the bandits of Mount Liang, so he naturally rejected Wu Yong's persuasion.
Upon seeing Wu Da, Wu Song was somewhat hesitant to recognize him.
The Changes at Wu Da are truly remarkable.
"Are you really my brother?" Wu Song asked.
"Haha, when I was a kid, I stole apricots from my sixth uncle's house, but I got stung by a poisonous bee..."
"Brother, stop talking!" Wu Song quickly stopped him. This was an embarrassing incident from his childhood, and only his own brother knew about it.
"In that case, let your older brother verify whether you are truly his younger brother."
Ling Yi spoke, he threw Wu Song.
Wu Song wanted to speak up to stop him, but found that Ling Yi was too fast, giving him no chance to speak.
He tried to dodge, but found that the opportunity had already passed.
He could only shield himself with his arms and take the hit.
The next moment, Wu Song was punched by Ling Yi and slid back more than ten meters on the snow before barely stopping.
"Brother, you're so strong!" Although Wu Song was surprised, he was even happier for his brother.
Previously, Wu Song had always thought that the story of Wu Dalang uprooting the willow tree was just a rumor, but now it seems that it might actually be true.
"Since you're in the mood, brother, then I'll keep you company and fight to your heart's content!" Wu Song laughed loudly.
Ling Yi pulled out a jar of wine from somewhere and threw it over.
" Wu Er who isn't drunk isn't the strongest Wu Er."
Wu Song was overjoyed. As expected, his brother understood him best. He immediately broke the mud seal on the wine jar, raised it, and took a big gulp.
but...
"Cough, cough, is this wine really that strong?"
Of course it's strong; this is 60-proof liquor.
In ancient times, the alcohol content of liquor was similar to that of beer; even the better ones were only thirty or forty degrees.
Wu Song wanted to drink as before, no wonder he choked.
With just one bite, Wu Song felt a surge of heat throughout his body and was already somewhat intoxicated.
But he took another big gulp and laughed wildly, "Such fine wine, truly delightful! Brother, let's fight again!"
Holding the wine jar in one hand, he lunged at Ling Yi with all his might.
Ling Yi dared not use his full strength. After roughly estimating Wu Song's strength, he made a slight adjustment and then engaged Wu Song in battle.
Wu Song's martial arts mentor was Zhou Tong, known for his Iron Arms.
This Zhou Tong is no ordinary person; Panther Head Lin Chong and Jade Qilin Lu Junyi are both his formal disciples.
He once held a highly respected position in Capital, but due to setbacks in his official career and his poor interpersonal skills, he was ostracized. He eventually resigned and left the capital to focus on studying Kung Fu Hustle.
When Wu Song was ten years old, he happened to meet Zhou Tong, who was traveling around. Seeing that Wu Song had good aptitude, Zhou Tong casually taught him the Iron Wall Fist.
Strictly speaking, Wu Song was not Zhou Tong's disciple, not even a nominal disciple.
Therefore, in Water Margin, Wu Song never mentioned Zhou Tong's name in front of Lin Chong and others.
Seeing that Wu Song loved martial arts, Wu Dalang sent him to Shaolin when Wu Song was eleven years old.
Wu Song studied kung fu at Shaolin for eight years, learning all kinds of Kung Fu Hustle, including swords, spears, and staffs.
However, after returning from Shaolin, the two brothers "killed" a local tyrant, which led them to run away from home.
Ling Yi, having traversed so many worlds, has already Transcendent comprehension of martial arts.
The two brothers nimbly moved across the snow, their moves both beautiful and incredibly powerful.
Those around them were already stunned.
However, Wu Song was no match for the Protagonist with a cheat code. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wu Song's strength had weakened, and Ling Yi had no intention of continuing the fight.
Ling Yi used one hand to support the head of the group of plaintiffs, and with the other hand, he grabbed Wu Song's shoulder and threw Wu Song several meters away, thus ending the battle completely.
Wu Song dusted himself off and came to Ling Yi again. The two brothers looked at each other for a moment, and then burst into laughter at the same time.
"Brother, your Kung Fu Hustle is truly amazing. If you hadn't held back, I probably wouldn't have lasted a single round."
"Haha, no need to be modest. With your Kung Fu Hustle, there are few in the world who can rival you. Come on, let's have a drink. We're going to have a good time today."
"The drinking can wait; Wu Song rushed back today because he has other important business to attend to."
So Wu Song told Ling Yi about Mount Liang's plan to attack Wu Family Manor.
"That Wu Yong is quite capable; he actually managed to persuade Wang Lun to send troops."
"Brother, Wu Yong is known as the Resourceful Star,' with extraordinary wisdom and tactics. It's best to be careful."
"Brother, you probably don't know the origins of our Wu Family Manor. Come on, let me show you around."
Wu Song's eyes were truly opened; his worldview was almost shattered.
The System Shop also has many other great items, such as cruise ships, Rocket, and Satellite... If you could redeem these items, you could build a mobile phone signal base station...
Imagine Emperor Huizong of Song reclining on his dragon throne, playing Honor of Kings with a group of ministers—what a scene!
Unfortunately, Ling Yi can't afford it right now.
The two brothers drank until late into the night. Wu Song recounted his experiences over the past two years to Ling Yi, including all the hardships he had endured, which moved Ling Yi deeply.
What we see in TV dramas is only the tip of the iceberg of the real world.
Wu Song has suffered a great deal of hardship and injustice over the past two years.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. There are Jianghu and intrigues everywhere.
With so many retainers under Squire Chai, how easy would it be for Wu Song, an outsider, to gain a foothold?
The next morning, Adviser Zheng Haste came to find Ling Yi.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, he exclaimed anxiously, "Disaster! That County Commandant Su has colluded with eight local gentry and the bandits of Mount Liang Marsh, and now he has gathered a thousand men, preparing to launch a night attack on my Wu Family Manor tonight!"
Before Ling Yi could speak, Wu Song, who had just woken up, angrily shouted, "What trouble? If those Mount Liang bandits dare to come, I'll make sure they see my fists and feet!"
Ling Yi also laughed and said, " Adviser Zheng, please calm down. Our Wu Family Manor has been preparing for so long, it's time to Liangliang some of our treasures and let those ignorant thieves broaden their horizons."
" Constable Wu, it's not that I'm worried about the safety of the Wu Family Manor, but rather about your wife. According to our scouts, the thief's target is your wife."
Ling Yi's face remained expressionless, but his heart was overflowing with killing intent.
"That Wu Yong is quite the schemer, Adviser Zheng. Don't worry, I've already made preparations. Go and arrange everything with Brother Zhang according to plan, use everything you can. I want these thieves to come and not return, not a single one alive!"
"It's good that there are arrangements. It's good that there are arrangements. I can rest assured now. With Constable Wu, Wu Family Manor is truly Wu Family Manor. If someone were to exploit our weaknesses, all the good things about the Wu Family Manor today would vanish into thin air."
Adviser Zheng had long regarded Wu Family Manor as his own home, and he would rather die than see any problems arise Wu Family Manor.
The old man was even more furious than Ling Yi at the bandit attack; these bandits were threatening to cut off their lifeline.
"Brother, I'll go help too." After saying this, Wu Song got up and followed Adviser Zheng away.
Ling Yi wanted to stop him, but in the end he shook his head and did not intervene.
Wu Song may seem reckless, but he is actually a shrewd man.
He had told Ling Yi last night that the military command of the Wu Family Manor should not be in the hands of outsiders. If these people were to rebel, that would be a real disaster.
Ling Yi didn't say much about this; since Wu Song had such an idea, then let him do it.
This will allow Wu Song to find his place in the Wu Family Manor more quickly, and at the same time save the brothers from developing many rifts in the future.
Trusting outsiders but not our own people? That's an easy thing to say but hard to hear.
Neither Adviser Zheng nor Zhang Changwu were ambitious people. They greatly admired Wu Song, especially after yesterday's battle, which they saw as more than just a friendly sparring match between brothers.
That's Constable Wu establishing authority for his brothers.
The two men were not opposed to Wu Song taking over military power; on the contrary, they welcomed it.
Adviser Zheng is getting old, and he can no longer handle many things. Now he is in charge of almost all the logistical matters, Xiaoxiao, which puts him under a lot of pressure.
Zhang Changwu had no experience in leading troops into battle, and the pressure he faced in this defense of the Wu Family Manor was no less than that of Adviser Zheng.
Now that Wu Er has stepped forward, even if there are any mistakes or oversights in this battle, the pressure will no longer fall on them.
All day long, Wu Song familiarized himself with the Wu Family Manor Wu Family Manor, especially its various weapons and equipment.
Afterwards, some arrangements were made to fill in the gaps. Compared to Zhang Changwu and Adviser Zheng, Wu Song had traveled all over the country and his experience was far superior to theirs.
Ling Yi simply stood on the city wall, watching the busy crowd, feeling a strange sense of accomplishment.
He had traveled through so many worlds, and he rarely felt this way.
Perhaps when I travel to other worlds in the future, I should follow my heart more!
At midnight, Wu Yong led several hundred Mount Liang bandits to the vicinity of the Wu Family Manor.
Looking at the Wu Family Manor, still brightly lit in the darkness, Wu Yong couldn't help but sneer.
"This is a great deal! Left and right, split into three groups and proceed according to plan. There must be no mistakes!"
But at that very moment...
"Bang bang bang..."
A dozen powerful searchlights lit up, their blinding light shining down from the city walls, instantly illuminating their area.
The area is captured with exquisite detail...
