Chapter 4 Accidents

Pu Qixiong introduced me with a smile: "Everyone knows the identity of General Xiao Shi, come, Di Zai, you also come to meet your colleagues." ”

The Left Route Army is a group army unit, and the generals who command these troops are also members of the imperial court with official titles, such as Pu Qixiong is both the left general and the general of the captivity, and under me, there are also Zhongyuan General Guo Dingyi, Shuyuan General Ding Zhan, Weide General Wang Qi, etc., for a while, the big tent will be star-studded, and I can't remember so much, so I can only nod indiscriminately.

After introducing us to each other, we held a small mobilization meeting as usual, which was nothing more than to take out those bold words and read them out, and then assigned tasks to each of them, and after the meeting, Pu Qixiong left me alone. I saw that everyone was in charge of logistics and some were in charge of guarding, but I was the only idler, and I saw Pu Qixiong carefully covering the door of the tent and pacing mysteriously beside me, I thought to myself, could it be that the old man has some special task to give me? But seeing that Pu Qixiong didn't speak, he laughed twice, and said with an itchy expression: "Di Zai - the old man sells an old man, but that's what he calls you." ”

I said, "You will treat me as your grandson." ”

"That's good." Pu Qixiong couldn't wait to say: "Tell the old man quickly, how does this feel like to be a sword god?" ”

I laughed, Shi Cundao really knew this old subordinate, it turned out that the old man sent others away just to ask this, I said: "It's not a taste, I just touched a dead mouse with a blind cat, and it didn't hurt or itch to bump into it." ”

Pu Qixiong said in disappointment: "So, you haven't actually learned the ways of dantian pranayama and sword qi operation?" ”

I said, "The most superficial thing to know, why is the old general asking this?" ”

Pu Qixiong said: "The old man wants you to see if there is any possibility of further progress in my rank. ”

"What rank is the old general now?"

Pu Qixiong said: "The middle stage of the sword master." ”

I casually said, "There's still a lot of room for improvement." ”

Pu Qixiong blushed and said: "It depends on who it is, the old man's qualifications are mediocre, I'm afraid this life will come to an end." ”

"That's not necessarily, according to what I've found, ordinary people who haven't undergone cultivation actually have a small amount of sword qi in their dantian, as long as they cultivate step by step, at least everyone can reach the level of the late stage of the sword master."

Puchon was surprised: "Really? "As expected, anyone who hears about this will be surprised, and I don't know how many times I've gotten through this with this hand.

I said, "Does the old general still remember how he felt when he was promoted to sword boy?" Is there already a vague sword aura there? ”

Pu Qixiong's face changed and said: "Exactly, is it ......?"

I nodded: "Actually, most people have done useless work, the dantian is like a door, people want to open the door, and if they can't push it, they get on the axe and saw, but no one has ever thought that since they can't push it open, why not try to pull it?" ”

Pu Qixiong sat in the chair for a moment, his face had a wonderful expression, and he was even more convinced of me, and after a short period of depression, his eyes lit up again: "Is it true that you say that ordinary people can reach the level of the late stage of the sword master?" ”

I can only say: "The junior has only practiced to the point of the middle stage of the sword master, and if there is any progress, I must report to the old general first." ”

Puchon has three points of disappointment, but also seven points of expectation, and can't help but sigh.

After I chatted with the old man for a few words and then said goodbye, just walked to the door of the tent I suddenly saw Zhang Shilei and others, so I turned back, and said to Ai Ai: "General Pu, I want to ask you something...... With my current official position, what is the process for promoting someone to a military rank? ”

Pu Qixiong followed my gaze and saw that he already knew it, and said: "According to the system, if you want to replace the officials above the rank of captain, you need to report to the Imperial Military Department, and the main general can make his own decisions to remove and replace the generals below the fourth rank, what, do you have any ideas?" ”

I said bluntly: "My personal soldier leader, Zhang Shilei, showed courage when Wei Wuji made trouble with the Marshal's Mansion last time, but now he is only a third-class captain, and I want to promote him." ”

Pu Qixiong nodded and said: "The old man also heard that more than half of the 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and in this case, the living should have been greatly promoted, and it is really impossible to say it in front of a third-class captain." The old man then smiled and said, "Heh, I understand, this old marshal Shi, he is afraid that others will say that he uses public affairs to form a gang, so it is inconvenient to openly reward these warriors who have contributed to the Shi family, which is too iron-faced and selfless." ”

I said, "The bereavement allowance is not less, it is all for my grandfather's private salary." ”

Pu Qixiong said: "In this way, Zhang Shilei has been promoted to first-class lieutenant, and the rest of the officers have been promoted to one level." ”

"This ...... Is it appropriate for my grandfather to know? ”

Pu Qixiong said: "It's okay, and it doesn't violate the law, even if the emperor asks, the old man has his own saying-" Pu Qixiong winked at me and said, "'Pu' is favorable, and 'Shi' Shi uses his life, in the final analysis, this is also to protect the needs of the Sword God." ”

I understood: "General Xie Pu cares. ”

Pu Qixiong reminded me: "For a while, I will only say that your official position is sealed by you, and the old man will do the procedural matters for you, and if anyone needs to be promoted as appropriate in the future, you can also decide for yourself first." ”

I was both moved and a little awkward, even if Pu Qixiong is upright, but after a lifetime in the officialdom, this kind of imperial technique of inviting people to buy people's hearts is still very familiar.

I went out and took Zhang Shilei and others to their big tent, and on the way I told them about giving them officials, everyone was taken aback, and they got off their horses and knelt down, and said together: "Thank you, Fifth Young Master." ”

"Come on, you are all people who have sold your lives for our historian, what is this little favor and small favor?"

Zhang Shilei was so excited that his face was flushed, these two levels were promoted, he had been promoted from the lowest level of the junior officer to the middle commander, as for the others, they were all promoted from the big head soldier without rank to the small colonel with a monthly salary, so they couldn't help but be excited, Zhang Shilei got up and arched his hand and said: "Actually, the old marshal Shi has already given us a lot of rewards." ”

I waved my hand and said, "It's not too much to reward this kind of thing, so you can be your official in the future." ”

Zhang Shilei said seriously: "We didn't follow the fifth young master to get promoted and make a fortune. The crowd agreed.

I raised my whip and scolded with a smile: "Fart, then your young master will receive your salary for you in the future." "Everyone, hehe, laugh dryly, and get back on the horse.

…… In this way, I began a unique military career, every day with the military horn to get up, with the soldiers to eat, and with the military horn into a dream, during the day of the march, Pu Qixiong will generally pester me with him to analyze the cultivation and pranayama these things that I don't really understand, and will also discuss with me the development of the war These things I don't understand even more, sometimes the army takes a short break, and the old man will make moves with me, of course, the two of us can be described as the donkey's head is not the horse's mouth, because in terms of moves alone, I have sword skills and Buddha light shining on my body, Pu Qixiong has no advantage, but if I don't use the sword qi, and he is too far away in terms of strength, the situation of the two of us is the same as me and ink, but the identity changes places, I have never forgotten the words of ink, and when I have spare time to discuss with Pu Qixiong, I have also carefully observed the changes in his moves, trying to sum up a little experience from the enemy, so although Pu Qixiong is pestering me, in fact, I have learned a lot from others.

On this day, the army marched through the suburbs, and suddenly a group of villagers came out of the nearby crop fields to sound gongs and shout grievances, Zhang Shilei and Pu Qixiong's personal captains, fearing that they were assassins, rushed out with people and surrounded the twenty or thirty villagers.

Pu Qixiong was chatting with me when he couldn't help frowning, "What's going on ahead?" ”

Zhang Shilei asked about the situation and said: "General Hui, these people are villagers near here, and they say that they want to talk to the general about their grievances." ”

Pu Qixiong laughed and said: "I'm not a state official or a county official, how can I take care of local affairs?" ”

Zhang Shilei said with embarrassment: "General, they said that their grievances are related to our people......"

"Oh, what's going on?"

"This ......" Zhang Shilei lowered his voice slightly: "There is a woman in the village who is being forced. It's violent, they say it's our people who did it. ”

"What?" Pu Qixiong's face suddenly sank, and he waved his big hand and said, "Call the person who complained." ”

Zhang Shilei brought these dozens of villagers to him, among them men and women, holding gongs, playing banners, under the leadership of a short and fat squire in his forties, he knelt on the ground, crying and screaming, and Pu Qixiong said in a deep voice: "Don't shout, send someone to talk to me." ”

The squire hurriedly climbed two steps and kowtowed: "The villain Li Si is a wife in the nearby Li family village, and he has hired a wife Wang who has not passed the door, and he doesn't want to be forced last night. Violence, please make decisions for the small people! ”

Pu Qixiong said: "You said that the person who spoiled your fiancΓ©e is in our army, you can't talk nonsense, otherwise I will punish you!" Corrupt the name of the army, don't say that you are a little Lizheng, even your prefect and governor can't afford to be guilty! ”

Li Si stiffened his neck and said, "The villain has evidence." As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing a young woman behind him, and Li Si said, "You tell the adults about last night." ”

The woman was about 20 years old, and there were tear stains in the corners of her eyes, but her expression was blank, no matter how Li Si slapped and shouted, she was silent, but everyone understood in their hearts that she was a young woman who could open her mouth to expose her ugly things, and it seemed that this thing was true.

The more Pu Qixiong looked at it, the more angry he became, and suddenly clapped his hands on the horse and said: "Someone, pass me on the order of the whole army to stop, and no one is allowed to leave their respective camps for half a step without investigating this matter!" He asked Li Si loudly, "If she doesn't say it, how do you know that person is in our army?" ”

Li Sidao: "The villain was on the way back from drinking at a friend's house last night to relieve himself in the firewood and straw stack, and he happened to meet the two of them to finish their work, and the person who looked at the clothes was a soldier!" ”

Pu Qixiong said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in our army, do you think there are any characteristics of that person?" ”

Everyone looked at Li Si's mouth shape, it was a very sensitive thing to disturb the people during the march, let alone strong. Mob girl, the army is an army after all, even if it is known for its brutality, it must have strict discipline, and it is still within the territory of the country, although I don't know what the law says, it must be a serious crime, and once this matter is disclosed, what kind of civil impact will it bring People are very clear in their hearts, everyone is in a complicated mood at this time, both hope that what Li Si said is nothing, and hate this black sheep, so no one can tell whether they hope that Li Si can say a reason or just fool around and lose a few money.

Unexpectedly, Li Siqing said clearly: "Needless to say, I know who this person is and what his name is." ”

Puqixiong said: "Say it quickly! ”

Li Si said triumphantly: "This person's name is Qin Shuzi, and he is on an errand in the infantry battalion." ”

Pu Qixiong's personal soldiers stepped forward in unison, waiting for the signal, Pu Qixiong clenched his fists, and two words popped out from between his teeth: "Take people!" ”

It's time to start speculating on fiction......
