Lan Zhi's mind turned sharply, but she just looked back calmly on her face. The shopkeeper glanced at her and looked away. Then he frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "I haven't seen it." ”

Lan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, she was not wearing a hooded coat, and there was no little boy from the Central Plains by her side, and with only a few vague descriptions of her appearance, the shopkeeper could not connect her with the person the soldiers were looking for.

There was a small alley on the side of the street, and Lan Zhi quietly took a few steps back and avoided the alley. In the inn, the soldiers guarding the city got the answer of the shopkeeper, turned around with a bitter face, and said to the captain of Huweiwei: "This big brother...... You see, we've been running for most of the day, and we haven't even seen a single figure! Why don't you find a painter and draw the portrait of that woman, and show it to people one by one, and you will definitely be able to turn her out! ”

The lieutenant refused, "No need. Master Duan had instructed that this matter was confidential and should not be publicized. Just like that, let's go to the next one. ”

The soldier had no choice but to be.

Lan Zhi hid in the alley, saw the two of them walking away, and just walked out, thought for a while, and actually returned to the inn.

She didn't think she had run into a big one. Troublesome. Otherwise, the whole city should be searched for her now, how could she only be questioned by these two people from inn to inn? She felt that the biggest possibility was that the soldiers guarding the city couldn't be relieved when they saw that she had taken the girl, so they went to find his brother Hu Weiwei, and looked for her everywhere, wanting to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. In this case, she should be careful to avoid it, is it because of these two people, who will waste her accommodation fee of three coins and silver?

One night passed safely, and the two men did not turn around and find it again. Lan Zhi became more and more settled, and the next morning, she went to the barracks.

There was an empty space outside the barracks, and a few soldiers sat behind a table, tasked with registering the names, ages, and places of origin of the people. There were two or three hundred people who came to sign up to join the army, but most of them were men, and only a dozen women. Lan Zhi waited with everyone for a while, and then a veteran came out and gave everyone a bag.

The bag was very heavy, Lan Zhi checked it, and estimated that it should be nearly 100 catties. Another man dressed as a general brought an hourglass and began to briefly explain the rules for the selection of soldiers by the army: everyone had to go through three rounds of screening, the first of which was to carry a bag and run around the barracks three times in half an hour.

It only took Lan Zhi two quarters of an hour to complete the whole race. After a round of screening, there are no more than 100 people left. After drinking water and resting for a while, everyone followed the general into the barracks and came to a martial arts training ground.

In the middle of the martial arts training ground stood several rows of wooden stakes, and next to the wooden stakes was a wooden frame, on which hung a bloody man. Lan Zhi looked from afar and saw that the man's face was gray, obviously dead. But he looked hideous, he didn't blink his eyes, his eyes were light brown, and he was actually a Yuyuan person.

The general walked to the wooden frame and said in a loud voice: "The saint has been on the throne for eight years, and he has worked hard to strengthen the national prestige of Yuyuan State, and I only hope that in my lifetime, I can lead Yuyuan's subjects to dominate Kyushu!" Now after five years of conquest, the East Departure Country, the Central Plains Country, and White Korea have been destroyed, and the surrender of the four seas is just around the corner! But unexpectedly, there were rebellious ministers and thieves, secretly colluding with other clans and betraying my Yuyuan Kingdom! ”

When the general said this, he pointed to the Yuyuan people on the wooden shelf beside him: "This person is obviously a citizen of my Yuyuan Kingdom, but he has done a detailed job and secretly transmitted military information for Bai Han!" Fortunately, Hu Weiwei found it in time, so as not to cause a catastrophe! He looked indignant: "The Holy One is so ambitious, how can these traitors be allowed to destroy it!" You say, should this man be killed?! ”

Lan Zhi was silent. But to her surprise, the people around her replied loudly: "Kill!" Damn it!! ”

She turned her head to look at it, and saw that everyone's expressions were also indignant, and the eyes that looked at the corpse of the Yuyuan people were full of disgust and disgust, and her heart was shocked for a while.

The general was very satisfied with this reaction, and motioned to the soldiers next to him to give him a few swords: "Now, it is time for you to show your determination!" Pick up your sword and pierce this man's body! The second round of testing is considered clear. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence. Most of the Yuyuan people who came here to participate in the conscription were farmers and small workers, and although they had been brainwashed by Yuyuanguo's conquest education, they had never seen real battles. Having them pierce a person's chest with their own hands, even if the person is dead, is still a problem for them.

The general, who seemed to know their timidity, added: "Alternatively, you can cut off the stakes on the side, which can be considered a good guò." ”

The first to come out was a big man with a beard. This man was a ruthless character, took the sword from the creep, spit twice into his hand, stood in front of the wooden frame, moved his body, and roared violently! The sword pierced straight through the chest of the man on the wooden frame!

When the beard pulled out the sword, the flesh and blood of the corpse splashed open. Some timid people turned pale when they saw it, but the big man was very proud, and stood aside with his toes held high.

Someone took the lead, and several people after him also took swords, and one by one they stabbed the Yuyuan people in the chest. Lan Zhi saw that the corpse was poked into a sieve, and she felt disgusted and disgusted.

When the Central Plains Kingdom was broken, Lan Zhi had participated in the Imperial City Guarding War, so she was not afraid of fighting. It can be seen that so many living people trample on a corpse together, and they all put on a victorious look, but she is unwilling to participate. When it was her turn, she took the sword from the soldier's hand and said to the general: "My lord, I don't dare to stab people, I will cut the stake." ”

The general's face was ordinary and nodded in agreement. Lan Zhi walked to the side of the stake and cut off a stake.

After this round of screening, there were only seventy or eighty people left. The third test was the ride. Lan Zhi can ride a horse, and although she is not very skilled, she can barely understand guò. After three rounds of testing, only 58 people were left behind. The general gave another lecture and warned everyone about the rules in the army, so that the veteran soldiers took them to the camp to rest.

Lan Zhi became a soldier of Yuyuan Kingdom as she wished. Along with fifty-seven other recruits, she was organized into the ranks. Because of his outstanding appearance, he was temporarily appointed as a captain and temporarily took charge of the affairs of the recruits.

That night, a group of men gathered around their beards, talking and laughing and flattering him for how heroic he was today, and the atmosphere was very warm. Lan Zhi sat in the corner of the tent with her sword in her arms, looking very withdrawn. She knew in her heart that since she was going to stay in the army for a while, she should try to fit in. But reality did not allow her to have such illusions: except for her, the other fifty-seven recruits in this camp were all men.

The men seemed to be chatting enthusiastically, but from time to time their eyes drifted towards Lan Zhi. Some of them seem to be unintentional, while others are blatantly ill-intentioned. In the sight of dozens of people, Lan Zhi hugged the sword in her arms and slowly closed her eyes: If you just look at it, then let them see it. She had just entered the barracks and couldn't make trouble. As long as they don't provoke her, the two sides are at peace.

This subtle peace lasted until midnight. The beard no longer boasted of his bravery, but instead told everyone about his brother's heroic deeds: his brother went to the Central Plains and followed General Xiang Jinxiu all the way to the Central Plains Imperial City; The elder brother was strong, and in the three days of carnival after the destruction of the imperial city, eighteen women slept; My brother was fierce and killed hundreds of people on the day he slaughtered the city......

Battles, blood, women, the story caters to the interests of all the men present. The atmosphere is getting hotter. Someone asked, "Captain Wu, which army is your eldest brother in now?" Isn't it...... In Tiger Weiwei?! ”

In a voice of envy, the beard coughed a few times: "That, he...... He was wounded and has been discharged from the army. At that time, he was in the palace of the Central Plains Kingdom, and a group of people were dividing the palace maids, but they met a little soldier who fell into evil, and said that he was looking for his younger brother, and he killed people in a frenzy......"

Everyone asked in surprise: "The little soldier of Yu Yuanguo? Then why do you still kill Yuyuanren? ”

The beard was indignant: "So I don't know what evil he has fallen into!" The madman was not tall, but he was very skilled, and he killed many people, and my brother had already calculated it, but he cut off his hand. ”

Everyone sighed and asked, "And then?" ”

He snorted: "Then, a group of soldiers besieged the madman, and he was wounded. General Xiang Jinxiu heard the wind again and rushed over, and after a few moves with the madman, he stabbed him to death with a sword! It can be regarded as avenging my brother. ”

When Lan Zhi heard this, her eyelashes trembled slightly: the madman in the mouth of the beard...... It seems to be her. The world is really small, so separated by thousands of mountains and rivers and two years, she actually met the brother of the old man.

But he heard the beard and said: "Although my brother's hand is broken, he is still living a good life!" The saint gave preferential treatment to the soldiers, gave him good land, and when he returned from the Central Plains, he also brought back 8 Central Plains women. He kept two beautiful and obedient ones for his own use, and the other six were rented to brothels. If there is business, he and the brothel six. Divided into four pieces, you can earn half a taels-eight dollars a day. ”

The crowd became more and more envious. Another person laughed and said: "Speaking of which, the Central Plains woman is small and weak, and she often faints to death in the middle of the job, if you really want to have a good time, you still have to find our Yuyuan woman!" ”

A piece of conformity. Then, inexplicably, everyone's voices suddenly lowered. The men lowered their voices and chatted about something, and suddenly burst into laughter.

The beard stood up in the midst of this laughter and walked towards Lan Zhi. He stood beside Lan Zhi and looked down at her from above: "Hey! Woman! It's also the middle of the night, come and sleep with your grandfather! ”

Lan Zhi didn't open her eyes, but sighed secretly in her heart. She was so peaceful, but they still came to provoke her. When to forbear? When to revolt?

Thinking that if she didn't take care of this tonight, I was afraid that the days ahead would not be quiet, Lan Zhi made a decision in her heart. It's just that when today's generals teach everyone the rules, one of them is that brawls are strictly forbidden in the army, and if anyone takes the initiative to provoke trouble, they will be severely punished. Even if she wants to take action, she must not bear the charge of "actively provoking trouble". This bearded beard loves to boast, and she thinks she is a face-loving person, so it is better for her to try to provoke him and force him to strike first......

Lan Zhi opened her eyes, stood up, walked to the center of the tent, and said to Luo Hu: "If you can catch me, I will sleep with you." ”

The beard was stunned. He looked at Lan Zhi carefully, and saw that she looked serious, and her appearance was not like a joke at all, but it was inexplicably more itchy, and he laughed out loud: "You woman, interesting!" ”

The rest of the recruits also gathered around, joking around. The beard shook his shoulders, posed and shouted, "Ye will play with you!" ”

He did come towards Lan Zhi, but Lan Zhi avoided it and stood behind him. The beard was stunned again, but he gritted his teeth and smiled: "The little lady has a little kung fu!" With a serious look, he pounced on Lan Zhi again!

Lan Zhi dodged several times, but her beard didn't even touch the corners of her clothes, and her face was a little annoyed and anxious. He pounced again, but Lan Zhi dodged with a short body and tripped his feet! Tripped him up and ate a dog. Excrement!

The beard and gray face are planted on the ground, and I feel that my face is gone. He looked around and saw that the rest of the recruits were staring at him, and there was no longer any reverence in their eyes, and his heart became more and more annoyed. He rolled over and jumped up, and drew his sword out of its sheath!

Lan Zhi waited for this moment. She asked slowly, "What are you doing?" ”

The beard spat on the ground: "Phew! It's just a girl who doesn't even dare to cut a dead person! Dare to tease grandpa! Grandpa is going to teach you a lesson now! ”

He rushed forward with his sword in hand, just as Lan Zhi did what Lan Zhi wanted. Lan Zhi then drew her sword and jumped!

Everyone saw Lan Zhi's body fall to the ground behind her beard, and the blade of her sword was already stained with blood. When I looked at the beard again, I saw him kneeling on the ground, his hands and wrists...... It's been cut off by Qi Qi!

Blood spilled on the ground, and the man's screams rang out. Lan Zhi squinted her eyes slightly in the blood-colored picture, and there was a cruel joy in her heart.

She doesn't love to kill, but this kind of person, kill one less one! One less is one! It's good to waste his hands! So that he can no longer be a soldier! In this way, when the next city is broken, there will be 18 fewer women who will suffer, and 100 fewer people will die!

There was an inexplicable emotion stirring in her chest, and Lan Zhi lowered her head and lowered her eyes, pretending to wipe the blood stains on the sword on her cuffs. By the time I looked up again, my face was calm. She put her sword back into its sheath, parted the sluggish crowd step by step, and sat back in the corner with her sword in her hand.

The beard was quickly carried away by the military doctor, and no one dared to make trouble again overnight. But the punishment came quickly. Early the next morning, the recruits gathered outside the camp tent to wait for training, while Lan Zhi was summoned and taken to the main camp tent in the army.

When she marched into the camp, she saw a man sitting behind the table, dressed in ochre, with deep eyebrows and cold eyes, who was actually Deputy Duan who had a relationship with her.
