Chapter 2: Sharpening the Edge (6 Up)

Just you? Have you ever had a relationship with Lord Chincha? Shopkeeper Cheng tilted his head and looked at Wan Qian Yuxue, not believing a word the other party said at all. Looking at the Shule Cheng Ji firm, who doesn't know that although Mo Da has a good body, he has given birth to a rabbit guts. If you can hide in trouble, you can hide, but if you can't avoid it, you will try your best to make big things small, and small things into nothing. If he really has a relationship with Lord Qincha, why should he be a man with his tail between his legs every day for more than two years?

Unexpectedly, Qi Dazui and Chu One-eyed also seemed to have taken the wrong medicine at this moment, but instead of helping Cheng Lao's shopkeeper dissuade Mo Da, they arched their hands one after another, and swore solemnly: "Good man, you can go with confidence." If there is anyone in Shule City who needs to be taken care of, wrap it up on our brothers! ”

"Yes, it's on me and Lao Qi. If our two brothers were a decade younger, maybe they would go with you! ”

What's all this called?! The old shopkeeper Cheng was so angry that he was panting. The family that relied on being the right-hand man was about to join the army, and the swordsman hired by the high-paying gift followed to fan the flames. If other swordsmen follow and coax, the second half of the journey will be my old man still have to take a knife to protect the goods?

Before he could come up with a few suitable words to persuade the crowd not to mess around. Wan Qi Yuxue had already come out of the crowd, clasped his fists at Wang Xun from afar, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to General Wang on his victory." Entrusted by the vendors of the jade shallots, I have come to treat you and your brothers with gifts. General Wanwang Wang, don't dislike us and wait for shabby! ”

A few sentences are unwritten, but there is nothing wrong with the general meaning. Cheng Lao's shopkeeper was stunned at first, and then hurriedly caught up, holding the gift list above his head with both hands, "Little Lao'er was entrusted by his peers to come to congratulate Lord Qincha on his victory." A few gifts, not a tribute, but also ask Lord Qincha to accept them on behalf of the soldiers! ”

As early as Chang'an, Wang Xun was not a greedy person. After going through some wind and rain, I don't even look at these things outside my body. After listening to the polite words of Wan Qian Yuxue and Cheng's shopkeeper, he jumped off the mount and stepped forward to hug Cheng's shopkeeper, "Everyone's heart Wang has received it, but this gift, please bring it back to everyone......"

"How's that going to work?" Before he could finish speaking, the old shopkeeper Cheng had already knelt down, "Lord Qincha took his brothers to fight the horse thieves desperately, I can't help much, I should always give a little money." Otherwise, how embarrassed to be protected by adults on the next road! ”

"The old man, please hurry up, everyone earns hard-earned money, Wang must not accept it!" When Wang Xun heard this, he hurriedly pulled the shopkeeper Cheng up, and at the same time explained to the other party with a smile, "As for protecting your safety, it is the responsibility of my Tang Dynasty soldiers." You old man, just let everyone rest assured and follow me. I can't guarantee anything else, at least on this section of the river, Wang will always escort everyone through it!! ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The old shopkeeper Cheng finally had a bottom in his heart, and once again bowed down to Wang Xun to thank him, "But this gift, your old man ....."

"That's it!" Seeing that the old shopkeeper Cheng was entangled in the matter of gifts, Wan Qian Yuxue interrupted loudly, "Lord Qincha is the founding marquis, and it is not uncommon for you to have two dates. If you really want to treat the brothers, you might as well go back and discuss with everyone and get together some dry food and cooked meat for the adults. Or find an acquaintance to buy some food and grass supplies along the way! Don't tell me that you are embarrassed, you must have a way on this road! ”

"Uh......" Old Shopkeeper Cheng was startled, and immediately understood that Mo Da's words made sense. After the first battle, the subordinates of Lord Qincha doubled. If this development continues, the supply of grain and grass carried by the army will definitely not be enough. Although the destination of the traders is not in the river, it has more or less to do with the local merchants along the way. Even if the local nobles issued a ban, everyone could secretly contact the old customers in the city and get some food.

Thinking of this, he no longer dwelled on the gift. Standing up with Wang Xun's support, he gently arched his hand at the other party, "Little Lao'er can't speak." But today I can assure you of it. As long as you give an order, you will dig a door and steal a hole, and the little old man can also help you dig up enough military rations! ”

also said that this promise is really crooked. Wang Xun was still worrying with Yu Wenzhi and Song Wu just now to ensure the supply of the army, but he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to take the task. Immediately, he nodded and solemnly returned the salute to the shopkeeper Cheng, "In this case, please leave it to the old man." At the moment, there is no shortage of military rations, but it won't be too long, and Wang will ask his husband to help? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Being able to do things for adults is a blessing that the little old man has cultivated for several lifetimes! Old Shopkeeper Cheng hurriedly turned half of his body sideways, and promised proudly with a face. Rest assured, adults. If he can't do it, the little old man will dismantle the old bones and give them to the brothers to make soup and drink! "Your bones, no matter how much you boil, you can't boil a few taels of oil!" Wan Qi Yuxue interjected with a smile, pushed Cheng Lao's shopkeeper aside, and immediately hugged his fist at Wang Xun again, "General Wang, in the past two days, Wan Qian has envied the heroic posture of you and General Yuwen, and I can't sleep every day." Wan Qi asked himself if he still had the strength to be a pawn for the general, please give Wan Qi this opportunity! ”

"You're going to join the army?" Wang Xun still remembers that Wan Qian Yuxue found out that Wang Huai's father and son were in a bad situation, and immediately found an excuse to flee Chang'an's past, and he couldn't believe that he really had the courage to join the army and serve the country. Listening to what the other party said eagerly, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Please give me a chance to contribute to the country!" Seeing that Wang Xun didn't seem to want to take him in, Wan Qian Yuxue was in a hurry, and fell to the ground with a plop. "Wan Qian has been a waste for half his life. I don't want to do it anymore today. Please give Wan Qi a chance to be a good man! ”

"The battle ahead won't all be as easy as today?!" Wang Xun also admired Wan Qiyu's martial arts, but he didn't like his character of hiding when he saw a risk, so he thought about it and reminded with a smile.

Wan Qi Yuxue kowtowed heavily and responded loudly, "Wan Qi knows!" Wan Qian is already prepared in his heart! ”

"It's not enough to be prepared. If you are timid and retreat, military law is not emotional! "There is a heart to stir up the bloody nature of Wan Qi Yuxue, Yuwen Zhi interjected from the side.

"Wan Qi knows!" Wan Qian Yuxue blushed and kowtowed again, "If Wan Qi Yuxu dares to retreat from the battle, the general will send someone to cut off Wan Qiao's head." Wan Qi will never dare to complain! ”

"Then I'll give you a chance to prove yourself!" Wang Xun smiled and pulled up Wan Qi Yuxue, looked the other party's body up and down, and encouraged with a smile, "To be honest, just relying on your bone frame, if you don't win fame in front of the battle, you are indeed in a panic." ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Wan Qi Yuxue smiled and rubbed his hands, not daring to answer Wang Xun's words. The reason why he moved the idea of joining the army was mainly because he was excited by the blood on today's battlefield. But there is another consideration that following Wang Xun is better than giving Cheng Ji a better chance to come out. Although there is a risk of dying on the battlefield as a soldier, it can be a general, and there is no guarantee that you will be safe forever. Especially when walking on the ancient silk road and facing a group of horse thieves every day. It's the same gambling with your head, so why not bet your head on the most profitable place?

After so many twists and turns in the past two years, Wang Xun has always thought that he is doomed. In any case, I never imagined that in the eyes of a real market citizen like Wan Qi Yuxue, his promotion speed is enough to be described as a smooth progress. Seeing Wan Qi Yuxue bowing his head and smirking vigorously, he thought that this person was born because he had just arrived, thought about it, and shouted behind his back: "Thirteen, this big man will be handed over to you to bring." Let him go to the pro-soldier team for a few days to train for a few days, and then arrange specific errands in the future! ”

"Okay!" It was rare to be noticed by Wang Xun, and the pro-soldier brigade led Wang Thirteen to step forward and grabbed Wan Qian Yuxuan's sleeve, "You just follow me, and you can be a guard for the adults first." It's easiest to be an adult's guard, and ordinary people can't get close to an adult's body at all. When fighting, the main responsibility of adults is to deploy troops, and it is not your turn to make a move until the critical moment! ”

As soon as Wang Xun heard this, he knew that Thirteen complained that he didn't have a chance to display his talents. raised his leg and gave him a kick, and said with a smile: "If you are long-winded, I will transfer you to the baggage brigade to raise horses." So that you have something to do every day. ”

"The adults spare their lives, the little ones don't dare, the little ones really don't dare!" Wang 13 grabbed Wan Qi's jade shallot sleeve and swung it away lightly, dodging Wang Xun's "attack", "The little one just told a few words of truth. Being a guard for a general like an adult is really the most relaxed beauty difference in the world! ”

He was born in Dongying, and his body bones were originally shorter than those of the Tang people. and pulled the tiger's back and bear's waist Wan Qian jade shallot as a foil, which looked even more like a monkey. Everyone was amused and laughed, and they all felt that the two guards of Lord Qincha had been cleverly chosen. Wang Xun couldn't hold back his laughter, kicked again, and scolded in a low voice: "Go, where did you learn it!" As soon as I became a Tang person, my true form was revealed! ”

Scolding and scolding, at this moment, he also felt very comfortable in his heart. Although today's battle is lackluster in terms of command and dispatch, it is a good start after all. Moreover, the bad luck that has been haunted in the past two years seems to be gradually fading. At least, the luck of a few horse thief leaders was no better than their own.

The only regret is that the horse thieves who surrendered were not able to truly return to their hearts. Thinking of the stupid thing he had done just now, Wang Xun slowly put away his smile again, and ordered, "Thirteen, you come with me first, I have something to ask you!" ”

"No!" The pro-soldier brigade led Wang Thirteen to accept it when he saw it, walked over quickly, and bowed his hand at Wang Xun, "Please ask?" ”

"Keep up with me!" Wang Xun threw the war horse to the care of his own soldiers, opened his legs, and distanced himself from the shopkeeper Cheng and others who came to greet him. After there were no more outsiders around him who had nothing to do with the military, he lowered his voice and asked solemnly: "Thirteen, why did you have to choose to be a Tang man in the first place?" ”
