Chapter 17: The Past of the Xuanwu Guards
When Li Mu rushed to the barracks after finishing his official duties, the contestants and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion had already had a meal.
"Fellow contestants, this seat is late, self-punishment three cups, here this seat congratulates you on winning the competition, I wish you a bright future in the future, and a glorious lintel!" Li Mu said loudly.
"More lords. Everyone stood up and toasted.
Li Mu continued to speak: "I won't say much nonsense, I want to ask you if you are willing to join my Sifang City army. If you are willing to join, everyone here can directly become a Quartet City Guard, and you can also get a chance to directly participate in the elite City Guard assessment, and finally I will give you another bowl. ”
After speaking, Li Mu raised the bowl of wine in his hand and drank it all.
Some of the contestants stood up and shouted, "I am willing to join the army and become a hero who protects the prosperity of our Great Shang Dynasty!"
Li Mu laughed loudly: "That's right, as long as there are heroes who are willing to choose to protect themselves, the people of Dashang can live in peace and prosperity in this peaceful and prosperous world, you can ask the city guards sitting with you why they chose to join the army, and you can also ask about their military life." ”
After Li Mu finished speaking, he handed over the affairs to the adjutant around him, and he wanted to go back to the barracks tent to continue to deal with official business.
After hearing Li Mu's words, the contestants were very curious about why the city guards around them joined the army, and many contestants couldn't help but start asking.
At Li Tianxing's table, Murong Xuan also began to ask why Zhang Wu and the others wanted to join the army.
Zhang Wu took the lead in speaking with a trace of grief on his face: "The reason why I chose to join the army is only two words, revenge! When I was only eight years old, my hometown encountered war, and I fled with my father and mother, and unfortunately because I met a small group of enemy troops in the process of escaping, my father and mother bought time to let me escape, and the husband and wife stayed to block the enemy, but it didn't take long for the enemy to catch up with me, fortunately, the old city lord happened to pass by and save me."
As he spoke, Zhang Wu's expression gradually became cheerful, "The old city lord asked me, do you want to take revenge, do you want to become as strong as him, I replied that I want to! The old city lord let me join the army, after entering the army, I trained hard every day to become a strong man to take revenge on Great Xia, and then I grew up and understood more, and gradually I gave up my hatred and became just like the old city lord, always guarding the land under my feet." ”
After Zhang Wu finished speaking, he laughed, and the bearded Chen Qi and the sturdy man Wang Biao both smiled, with an expression on their faces We understand you.
Chen Qi, who was full of beard, was more bold, and began to tell the reason why he and Wang Biao joined the army: " Biaozi and I were brothers who came out of a village, both of us were relatively poor and had no money to practice martial arts, the two of us wanted to continue to practice, so we joined the army, at first we wanted to get ahead, break out of a career, very lucky we succeeded, we joined the army, made military achievements, I and Biaozi have slowly come from ordinary soldiers to this step, in our hometown, I and Biaozi have been successful in getting ahead, and then slowly we have married wives and children, and we are also used to the life of the army, we now just want to follow the city lord to protect the land under our feet。 ”
After Li Tianxing listened to Zhang Wu and Chen Qi's words, the corners of his mouth rose, and he secretly thought in his heart, "The original intention of the establishment of the Xuanwu Legion is to guard, protect the people of the Great Merchants from being invaded by foreign enemies, and protect the land of the Great Merchants from being invaded by foreign enemies. ”
"Brother Murong, Sister Wang Qi, let's toast the heroes of our Great Merchants together, if it weren't for them guarding our Great Merchants on the borders of the empire day and night, how could we grow up healthily?" Li Tianxing raised his glass and said to Murong Xuan and Wang Qi.
Murong Xuan and Wang Qi listened attentively, and after Li Tianxing reacted after speaking, he raised his glass and said together: "Respect my Dashang heroes, thank you to the heroes for protecting my Dashang, so that our Dashang people will not be invaded by foreign enemies." ”
Zhang Wu and the others laughed.
Li Tianxing put down the wine glass in his hand and asked Murong Xuan, "Brother Murong, I don't know which legion you want to join the army?"
"I want to join the most mysterious Shadow Legion rumored to be in Sifang City," Murong Xuan replied with a smile.
Zhang Wu responded with a smile: "Haha, Brother Murong, after all, that's just a rumor from the outside world, I haven't seen any elite legions in Sifang City in addition to the eight legions in the army for many years. ”
Murong Xuan replied with a regretful expression: "It turns out that the Shadow Legion does not exist. ”
Li Tianxing saw Murong Xuan's regretful face, lowered his head and thought for a while, hesitating, and then smiled and isolated the surrounding voices, and said: "Brother Murong don't have to feel sorry, in fact, the Phantom Legion in your mouth exists, but its name is not called Phantom." ”
Everyone looked at Li Tianxing in surprise and some dumbfounded.
Li Tianxing smiled and continued to speak: "Haha, everyone is their own people, I'll be honest, that legion is not called the Phantom Legion but the ghost, it is real, but it is more secretive." ”
Zhang Wu and the three of them glanced at each other and said with a wry smile: "Young City Lord, you should tell Brother Murong in private, how can you tell such military secrets in front of the three of us and Qi'er." ”
Li Tianxing chuckled and said: "Uncle Zhang, you are not outsiders, as long as you don't make a public announcement, the ghost legion just needs to act secretly before it is made public, in fact, there are still many people who know the existence of this legion, otherwise how can there be rumors from the outside world?"
Murong Xuanleng paused for a while, and after reacting, he thanked him: "Thank you Young City Lord, may I ask the Young City Lord if I can join the Ghost Legion?"
"Of course Brother Murong can join the ghosts, otherwise it would be impossible for me to tell you that the ghosts exist. Li Tianxing replied with a smile.
The others glanced at each other, diverted the conversation elsewhere, and kept silent about the Wraith Legion.
This night, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion talked to the contestants about why they joined the army and talked about their past, and the soldiers told what they saw and heard, so that most of the contestants who had never seen the world listened very attentively, and when they heard that Xuanwuwei was on the battlefield, invincible and swept through the enemy country, they felt as if they were in the scene, and they heard that some small cities and small villages of Dashang had been wantonly ravaged by the enemy country and slaughtered the people of the city.
When the contestants heard this, they immediately felt angry, and only hated that they were not present at the time, otherwise they would definitely kill the thieves of the enemy country with their swords and avenge the hatred of the people.
Many children of the family originally looked down on some soldiers and thought they were rough people, but after hearing Xuanwuwei tell about their past experiences, they realized that it was really such a group of rough people who guarded the land under their feet day and night, so that the creatures on this land could live a stable and happy life.
Many of the contestants were enthusiastic when they heard this, saying that they also wanted to join the army Xuanwuwei.
After listening to some of the reasons why Xuanwuwei joined the army and the days of life in the army, a contestant named Li Qingchen couldn't help but confide in Xuanwuwei about his thoughts, Li Qingchen said that he liked a young lady from a big family, but he didn't dare to confess because of his humble background, and he felt a little inferior, and felt that he was not worthy of the eldest lady.
It just so happened that this Li Qingchen's beloved girl participated in the competition and is now on the scene!
At the instigation of Xuanwuwei, after Li Qingchen drank some wine to strengthen his courage, he ran to his beloved girl and confessed loudly!
Most of the people in the barracks, including Li Tianxing, Murong Xuan and others, were attracted by him and confessed in the barracks, which was also a strange story.
Li Tianxing has a good impression of Li Qingchen, this Li Qingchen has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he can be regarded as a beautiful man, although his strength is not strong, only in the early stage of the Qi Channel, but when he participated in the third stage of the competition, he was very brave and cooperated with the team quite well, and he was also smart.
The defendant Bai girl Li Tianxing also had some impressions, the girl's name is Zhao Yuan, she is only eighteen years old this year, she is a well-known genius girl in Sifang City, and she is a little beauty, and her strength is much stronger than Li Qingchen, and she has reached the peak of the foundation building realm.
Zhao Yuan looked at Li Qingchen with a blank face, a little at a loss, he was listening to Xuanwuwei tell about the past, and suddenly Li Qingchen ran over and said that he liked himself and wanted to marry him.
After Zhao Yuan reacted, she said with a flushed face: "My goal is the same as Sister Wang Qi, if you want to marry me, you must be able to win the first step." ”
