It was already close to dusk when the thirty tribes were sent, Zhan Hong didn't stay long, introduced Xu You, the new master, to everyone, handed over their slave documents, and immediately said goodbye and left.

The status of the trilogy in the family is higher than that of the slave and maid, but the identity is the same, they all belong to the slaves, life and death, honor and disgrace are in the hands of others, and there is no personal freedom at all. Standing in the courtyard, they looked different, standing lazily, some were curious, some were hanging, some were bowing their heads, at a loss, and some were sneering, disdainful, and the sound of buzzing and gossiping was endless. Xu You stood on the steps in front of the main hall, and with just one glance, he understood Zhan Hong's mood that he couldn't wait to send this group of people out.

It's hard to control!

They have been following Zhan Ting for many years, whether it is within the Zhan clan or in Qiantang City, they have always been used to showing off their might, and they like to walk sideways, and no one dares to provoke them. Later, Zhan Ting fell and became a rootless Ping, and it is estimated that he is not very trusted and treated by Zhan Hong, and the gap between the front and back is huge, and it is easy to breed a rebellious mentality. Now that he has been sent to Jingyuan like goods, if you want to say that there is no resentment, you really don't believe it.

Xu You smiled coldly and said, "Looking at your posture and spirit, you can know why Zhan Ting ended up in exile, and why Zhan Hong swept you out of the house like filth." Neither can you keep the former master safe, but also can't please the future master, it's useless, what do you want you to do, waste food and clothing? Zuo Yan! ”

"In!"

Zuo Yan stepped forward from behind Xu You, with a sword on his waist, his eyes were like electricity, his feet were not eight, his body was straight like a spear, and the murderous aura of living in the army for a long time was permeating his body, making people tremble.

"This Zuo Langjun used to be a first-class soldier of the Yuan clan of Chen County, he has led soldiers and fought, of course, it is estimated that there are more heads cut off than you have touched with your own hands. But look at him, he is sitting and lying down, is there a trace of laziness? ”

Xu You's voice was not high, but there was a sneer on his lips, and the words were piercing, and he said: "Soldier, martial artist!" With a long sword, with a Qin bow, the head is separated, the heart is not punished, brave and not bullied, a hundred battles and a death, the soul becomes a god, and the spirit is a ghost, just you, are you also worthy? ”

The subordinates at the foot of the stairs were in a commotion, such humiliation was unbearable even for ordinary people, let alone those who had always believed in force? Many people were full of anger, staring at Xu You, and I don't know who shouted: "We are not soldiers!" ”

Zuo Yan's eyes skyrocketed, and he took another step forward and said sharply: "Who is the one who is speaking, stand up!" ”

No one answered!

"Don't dare to admit it?" Zuo Yan said coldly: "From now on, until you find the person who spoke, you all stand here for me, you can't move, you can't lie down, you don't have anything to eat, you don't have anything to drink, those who dare to disobey, there is such a tree!" ”

The sword light flashed, and a weeping cypress with a thick bowl mouth next to the stone steps was cut off from the middle, and everyone looked at each other, most of them showed fear, and many people quietly lowered their heads, for fear of being seen by Zuo Yan's eyes.

A young man walked out of the queue, held his head high, and said viciously: "It's what I said, it has nothing to do with them, if you want to kill, you will kill, I will frown, I will not be called Cangzhi!" ”

Cang's figure is not high, and he is at the position of Xu You's shoulder, about twenty years old, with dark skin, rough appearance not like a Han person, eyes as big as copper bells, blazing spirit, revealing a wild nature that is difficult to tame. He stood proudly, not looking humble as a slave, looking directly at Xu You, without avoiding it.

"Are you Pan Yao, or Shan Ziyao?"

Cang was stunned, lowered his head, and said, "What Pan Yao, Shan Zi Yao, our Xu family is Wuxi Man." ”

The surname Cang is not common, and there are many origins, but there is a saying that it comes from the Cangwu clan, and most of them are owned by the Han, Zhuang and She people. There is no Zhuang in the middle land, but there are many She people, and the She people have a close relationship with the Yao people, divided into Panyao and Shanziyao, so Xu You guessed casually, but he didn't expect him to deny it.

"Wuxi Man?"

Wuling County has Xiongxi, Zhangxi, Chenxi, Youxi, Wuxi, many barbarians live, whenever the situation is big, they plunder the state capitals of various places, it is a great local harm since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Xu You looked at him and said, "You call yourself the Xu family, and you must also speak Shanha dialect, it should be Wuxi Man, who was born in She, how did you become a slave in the Zhan family?" ”

An imperceptible sadness flashed in Cang's eyes, and turned into cold indifference, and said: "That's nothing to hide, the Xu family can't beat the soldiers of the Nanban Captain's Mansion, I was captured on the mountain road to chop wood, sold as a slave, and later transferred to the Zhan Mansion." ”

"Your official dialect is good, even better than that of some Han people in Yangzhou, did you learn it in the past few years, or did you learn it since childhood?"

"I ...... I've been in Zhan Mansion for a few years, what's so strange about learning to speak official language? ”

Xu You smiled, did not continue to ask about his origin, and said, "What I said is, this is nothing strange!" Your name is Cang, why do you say that you are not soldiers? ”

"We are the private soldiers of the Zhan family, the dogs who guard the house, and we don't go into battle to kill the enemy, of course we are not soldiers!"

A barbarian is a barbarian, speaking bluntly and plainly, and others may have been with his colleagues for many years, know his style of speaking, and do not mean to scold.

However, the dog that cares for the home also represents the mentality of many clans at the moment, although they enjoy higher treatment, but they also face great dangers, armed with martial arts, but their fate is the same as the lowest slave, unwilling, but helpless.

"People first respect themselves, and then others weigh themselves!"

Xu You's face sank, and he said: "Being a dog or a human depends on your own ability!" I don't know, and I don't want to know, how the Jens treat you. But in the Yixing Xu family, all the troops are iron-clad soldiers, and they become private soldiers when they unload their armor, which is enough to make them lose their fears, and they can keep their surnames free of sleep and food. Li Dou, General Jianwu, was just like you at first, with a humble status and sinking into a liao, but he is different from you idiots - he has great ambitions in his heart! ”

"Someone has to ask, what is Chi? Chi, the handsome of the air! It is this breath that people live for, and if their breath is dispersed, they will first lose their spirits, and then they will lose their lives. This breath is qi and blood, qi veins, and qi integrity, not the disgusting frustration, twilight and death that is engraved on your face! ”

The people who were eager to contradict Xu You listened to it one by one, and they all raised their heads, attracted by Xu You's words and deeds. They were ordered to watch the house, listen to the orders of the nursing home, fight when they should fight, and bully when they should be bullied, but no one has ever told them how to write their own life and future for a lowly part.

Will?

Is it possible to aspire to a part that is equivalent to livestock?

Cang's eyes lit up, and when he stood up, he was mentally prepared to be whipped, but he didn't expect Xu You to not only punish him, but to say such stirring words.

The young man in front of him seemed to be different from Zhan Ting, different from all the masters he had served before, and a thought suddenly popped up in Cang's heart:

Perhaps, following him, one day in the future, you will be able to see the water of Wuxi flowing from between your feet again!

"Li Dou doesn't want to be a slave anymore, he doesn't want his life to be in the hands of others at will, and he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to become dogs that can be trampled on by others for generations!"

"So he worked hard, worked hard, worked hard, defended military discipline, learned the battle formation, did not hesitate to die, followed my ancestors of the Xu clan across the north and south, made countless achievements, and had dozens of scars on his body, and finally got rid of his slavery and became the general of the Weizhen side!"

"The trend of ambition is not far away, and the mountains and seas are not limited, so the direction of ambition is indestructible. Today, I send you a sentence that will determine your future as much as you can comprehend. ”

"Don't be a one-body plan, but have the ambition of the world! Let you squat in your heart with a tiger ready to move, although it is a cruel torture, but when the sentence expires, the sound of the tiger roar will be heard all over the world! ”

After Xu You said this, the dense crowd in front of the hall did not make a chaotic noise, and no one looked left and right, their minds did not belong, they all stood in place in a daze, the sleeping ambition in their minds seemed to have been touched by something, but they couldn't break free from the confinement for a while, the tiger that was entangled by countless thorns squinted, wagged its tail, and struggled to stand up!

Xu You turned around and left without hesitation, and Zuo Yan said in a loud voice: "Give you a night to think, think about it, stay, as long as you are not afraid of death, there will always be a chance to make a difference." I don't understand, the door is open, the slave is here, whether you take it and vote for the good master, let you tear it up and make a living on your own, from now on, whether it is expensive or cheap, whether it is an official or a thief, it has nothing to do with Jingyuan. Remember, before dawn tomorrow, if you stay where you are, I will not treat you as a human being, nor will I treat you as a dog, you are my Zuo Yan's subordinates, and I am also my Zuo Yan's brother, if I have a bite to eat, you will not starve to death, and you will never lose your word! ”

The door opened and closed, Xu You and Zuo Yan's backs disappeared in the distance, the courtyard was quiet, I don't know how long it took, someone walked to Cang's side, touched his shoulder, and said, "Big eyes, what do you think?" Shall we go, or shall we stay? ”

Cang spat and foamed, looked at him contemptuously, and without saying a word, walked to the position where he was standing, his hands and feet together, and stood solemnly. A few people around subconsciously followed suit, so they followed suit, and soon seven or eight people maintained a solemn posture, not to mention how upright, but compared to the casualness of Fang Cai, there has been obvious progress.

Those who have firm intentions, naturally have half-heartedness, a few people sit on the ground, anyway, the time is still early, and it is still too late to make a final decision before dawn, now it is better to take a break and take a breath.

"Hungry or not? You said that the lord is also true, so you should give your mouth to eat first, it's too picky. ”

"Who said it wasn't, I'll be close to my back in front of me, and I don't have the strength to speak, no matter how bad it is in the Zhan family, at least I can eat enough!"

"If you don't have the strength, shut up, be careful, say more, maybe someone will rush out and slap you thirty times!"

"You...... Are you afraid, are you afraid that you will learn from a few dogs over there, stand there and don't move, what are you sitting on? ”

Xu You's shock to them only lasted for a moment, and it was difficult to change the long-term habits all at once, except for eight people in the courtyard, the others were almost sitting or lying, or whispering, or talking, night fell, and it was quiet everywhere, only this courtyard, noisy like a city.

But as soon as the night fell, the noise gradually subsided, not because they had changed their minds, but because the winter night was really difficult. The cold wind whistled past the ears, like a sharp blade cutting into the lungs, the breath spit out was almost condensed between the mouth and nose, the hands and feet were numb and could not move, and the whole heart in the stomach was weak and short of breath, as if he would die here in the next moment.

In the middle of the night, cold and hungry, one person couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said loudly: "Before you get started, you abuse us like this, such a ruthless lord, Lao Tzu won't serve!" Walked to the steps, found out his slave documents, tore his hands, the fragments went away with the wind, laughed, and said: "It's a big deal to go up the mountain as a thief, Lao Tzu is a martial artist, can he still starve to death!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, and a few pairs of eyes stared at the door, watching him walk away, and there were no traps such as the imaginary knife and axe hand - Xu You really did what he said, and he was really willing to let them go!

Immediately, three more people stood up, tore up the paperwork, and fled away through the night. They are all old oilies in the trilogy, and they can see that Xu You is not a master who is easy to fool, and if they stay, they may be trained to death. Over the years, I've been used to messing around, and I can't stand this kind of suffering, so instead of being a fugitive slave in the future, it's better to take a slave and leave early.

The cold wind blew more and more, and some people fell unconscious one after another, and the whole body was frozen and stiff like a pillar, only the eyeballs could still move left and right, but his heart seemed to be on fire, and the more it burned, the more it burned!

It's just that there has never been a night as long as tonight!
