"Hello, what's your name?"

"My name is Ai Qixian, and this is my brother Bai Maokar. ”

The little girl's fleshy little hand stretched out: "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Shenhe Ze Belbed, and we will be good friends from now on." ”

The dirty hand wiped on the body, stretched out halfway and retracted, and the little girl's fleshy hand grabbed it: "Ai Qixian, right? Come home with me." ”

That year, in the middle of summer, the city of Mokaben was in full swing to recruit troops and horses, in order to meet the barbarian tribes before the onset of winter.

Under the scorching sun, the gladiatorial arena was filled with freshly recruited soldiers, and they fell to one knee one by one. Cracked lips, swallowing saliva, confused eyes, waiting for the city lord to scrutinize. It's a hungry crowd of people who have nothing to wake them up but food.

Yiqi Belbed has come to the age of no confusion, with gray sideburns, holding Shenhyuk's small hand and standing on the platform.

"You, and you, you two come out. ”

Yi Qi pointed to the two men in the middle of the soldiers.

"Yes, it's the two of you, come here. ”

Two of the soldiers stood up, and two of them walked in hiding, probably due to hunger, and almost fell several times, and came to the bottom of the platform, bowing their heads in silence.

After Yi Qi saw the two, he didn't speak, but called the general of this recruitment, Knight Charlotte.

Charlotte trotted over: "My lord, you look for me." ”

Yiqi Yiqi pointed to the two people under the platform: "What's going on?"

Charlotte said: "My lord, this ......"

Yi Qi was slightly angry: "Speak." ”

Charlotte hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, these two people were taken in on the way to the conscription, because their parents have starved to death, and I see them...... It's quite pitiful, and it's been incorporated into the army like the other soldiers. ”

Yi Qi stood with his hands in his hands: "How much do I ask you to recruit?"

"Back to your lordship, five...... Five thousand!"

Charlotte was sweating from her forehead, and he never thought it would be such a mess.

Yi Qi continued to ask, "Then how much did you levy?"

"Five...... Five thousand. ”

Charlotte replied.

Yi Qi suppressed his anger: "The two of them?"

Charlotte: "Yes, it's all in the making!"

Yi Qi laughed, leaned over and patted the Silver Knight on the shoulder, Charlotte looked nervous, he didn't know what would happen next: "Okay, Charlotte, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, come on, pull Charlotte out and cut it down!"

Charlotte knelt on the ground and crawled: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." ”

Yi Qi: "My soldiers, kneel to the sky and kneel to the parents, not to the princes and nobles, how can I teach you, the two of them are children, but you let them go to the battlefield, the soldiers have to obey orders." ”

The soldier pulled Charlotte up, and when she was about to drag her out, a man in gold armor walked out, it was Jerami: "Your Excellency. ”

"Huh?"

Yiqi knew that Jerami had come to intercede.

"My lord, there is a famine now, coupled with the repeated wars, it is really not easy to recruit soldiers, the people outside are displaced, there is no food, and these people who have been recruited are all in order to have a bite to eat!"

Yi Qi was not angry and threatened: "You continue." ”

Jeramie: "Sin is not unto death. ”

Yi Qi muttered: "You think, I'll fucking cut him down"

Then he called out to the soldiers: "Wait. ”

Yi Qi walked over and picked up Charlotte: "Come and stand!"

Charlotte shuddered.

Yi Qi patted Charlotte on the shoulder: "This conscription is meritorious, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." ”

Charlotte: "Yes, my lord. ”

Yi Qi continued: "There is a wasteland in the back garden of our house, and there are no plants, you go over, and when the time comes, I will let you come back and continue to sit in this position, are you willing?"

Charlotte was about to kneel, but was grabbed by Yi Qi: "My soldiers, kneel to heaven and earth and kneel to parents, not to princes and nobles, including the king." ”

Charlotte nodded repeatedly: "I do, I do, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Yi Qi looked around: "Remember to be a soldier for a day, you must abide by the rules of a soldier for a day, no matter where you come from, my soldiers remember, kneel to the sky and kneel to the parents, not to kneel to the princes and nobles, especially the king." ”

While Yiqi was interrogating the soldiers, Shenhyuk ran down from the platform, and the opening scene appeared: "What are the names of you two?"

"My name is Ai Qixian, and he is my brother White-haired Karl. ”

The blonde boy, although unkempt, could not stop the immature face and sunny smile.

The silver-haired boy looked up and said nothing, then lowered his head again, not smiling.

Shenhe's fleshy little hand stretched out: "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Shenhe Ze Belbed, then we will be good friends in the future." ”

Ai Qixian's dirty hand wiped on his body, stretched out halfway, and saw Shenhe's hand as white as jade, and retracted it again, and Xiao Shenhe grabbed it: "Ai Qixian, right, come home with me in a while!"

Ai Qi's big eyes rolled slightly: "That...... Do you have anything to eat at home?"

Xiao Shenhe: "Yes, everything, horse meat, beef, pork, fish, bread, and so much more. ”

Karl's eyes lit up as he lowered his head, and he poked Ai Qixian.

Ai Qixian was excited: "Then can we eat?"

Shin-hyuk: "Of course. ”

This is the first time that Shenhe Ze has looked directly at Ai Qixian head-on, his face is full of dirt, under his faint eyebrows, a pair of big shining eyes, and a rich local accent can't help but make people feel funny.

After that, Ai Qiyan and Karl followed Shenhyuk to Mengkailiqi Castle, and from then on began to work as a caretaker.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and every day when Shenhe Ze passes by the window, he will pay attention to the two little soldiers outside, one is active as fire, and the other is calm as water.

His father, Yiqi, would sit on a stone bench in the courtyard every night and chat with Jeramy, and the two of them would carry a bottle of rum while teaching Carl and Ai Qixian combat techniques. In the evening of this day, Yi Qi took off his perennial armor and walked out of the house, wearing a shirt, no different from the old man in the market, and called Ai Qixian and Karl, who were standing guard in the courtyard: "You two little guys come here." ”

Ai Qixian and Carl ran over, and Yi Qi hugged the two of them: "I see that you are doing well on weekdays, today I will treat you to delicious ......"

Shenhyuk looked at the window and shook his head: "Hey, what a worrying old man"

Walking into the house, Yi Qi instructed the maid to serve the food, looking at the delicacies on the table, Carl and Ai Qi couldn't stop swallowing, they had never eaten such a sumptuous dish.

"Look, eat!"

Yi Qi laughed.

"We can all eat this. ”

Ai Qixian looked at it and asked.

Shenhe nodded: "Yes, I helped ...... these things."

"Ahem!" Yi Qi coughed on the side, for fear that Shenhe would leak his mouth.

Shenhe glanced at Yiqi: "These are all made by my father especially for the two of you, eat quickly, he likes you, I can't eat them on weekdays." ”

Yi Qi nodded: "You two little guys, eat quickly, our family eats a lot, it's enough." ”

Ai Qixian looked at Carl, and at this time Karl had already reached out and moved, Ai Qixian shouted: "Carl, you are cheating. ”

The two of them swallowed heavily, and Shenhe Ze had never seen someone who would eat like this, and he was clearly swallowing.

However, Yi Qi smiled on the side and picked up the wine jug: "Come, you two drink some of this with me." ”

Ai Qixian: "Wine?"

Yi Qi nodded: "Come." ”

Ai Qixian handed over the wine vessel: "This, this one is also poured, for Carl's." ”

Yi Qi said while pouring: "It has always been others who pour wine for Lao Tzu, but today you can pour it well, let Lao Tzu pour wine for you." ”

Ai Qixian: "That's right, Daddy is the best for us." ”

Yiqi stopped: "What do you call me?"

Ai Qixian: "Daddy!"

Yi Qi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Good boy, I like it." ”

Ai Qi instantly thought to himself, "Isn't this old man just an old man, what is there to be happy about." ”

Shenhe Ze watched the two of them eating drunkly, and handed over the meat on the plate in front of him: "Then, you can eat this." ”

Carl: "Thanks, you can eat, we still have it." ”

Ai Qixian hurriedly came over: "Little card, do you want to drink some!"

Carl: "Drink it yourself and Daddy!"

Ai Qixian stuck out his tongue: "Don't drink and pull down." ”

At the dinner table, Yi Qi said what was in his heart: "In the future, you will eat with your father." ”

Since then, Shenhe has two more family members, and she understands that her father has always hoped to have a son who will inherit the position of city lord in the future, but her mother died early, which has become a pity, and now her father pins his hopes on the two children he adopted.
