After Wang Zhengling figured out the reason, he hurriedly pressed the old man's slap the size of a fan:

"Don't fight, don't fight, Tong Yan Wuji, old man! What can a kid of his age understand! Actually, I also know what you are afraid of, is it that the descendants of your village have robbed the grain and grass of the officials and soldiers, and you are afraid that after telling me, it will bring death to the villagers? ”

When the old man heard Wang Zhengling tell his heart, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, but his whole body couldn't stop trembling, and his throat was like a fish bone, and he couldn't speak, so he just desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy......

Wang Zhengling saw his appearance of "a small boat cannot be carried", so he had to continue to explain patiently:

"It's okay old people, as the so-called ignorant are not to blame. It's just that you can't eat up so much military rations for a while; And those arrows and armor, it is useless for you to keep them, so you might as well return them to us. Moreover, I also thought about it for you, no matter how much food there is, there will always be a time when it is finished, and I have to find a way for the villagers to make a living, which is the right way to solve the problem. ”

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and this truth is not profound. As soon as the old man heard Wang Zhengling's words, he also stopped kowtowing like a chicken pecking rice, and looked at this kind-hearted Qin officer with confusion and timidity.

"As for our grain team, we will have to pass by the foot of Li Mountain often in the future. However, not only were we short of manpower, but we were also not familiar with the paths in this place, and we were inevitably blocked by the mountains on the way, which led to delays and delays in the warplanes. If you folks can help more, the speed of food delivery will be faster, and the consumption on the road will be less. As for me, I can also give the saved food to the villagers in Lishan to live; Thinking about it this way, it's good for everyone, isn't it a double win? ”

Although Wang Zhengling's words were very beautiful, the old man still couldn't overcome the fear of violating the royal law, and just looked at this different military master with dull eyes, and he didn't know what was going on in his head.

And Wang Zhengling also understands his suspicions. Although this old man is a mountain man, he is also a mountain man in the hinterland of the Three Jin Dynasty, and he is by no means comparable to the barbarians in the outer land. What's more, at the foot of Li Mountain, there is the important town of Hedong City! He has lived for such a long time, how can he not know that stealing military rations is a felony that is full of beheadings?

is such a big crime, if you don't kill a few people to vent your anger and authority, you have already been extrajudicially gracious; Now listening to what he said, he has to find another way out for the villagers in the village; How can there be such a good thing as pie in the sky?

After waiting for a while, I saw that there was no response from the other party; Wang Zhengling stretched out his hand to help the old man up, and said to him in a gentle tone:

"Old man, do you still think that these of us are all Beiyan officers and soldiers? Hey, you're wrong, we're the Qin Army, not the Northern Yan Army! ”

"Hey! It turned out to be Qin Jun! It's scared to death! Child...... No, no, sir, you don't know! Those eight lambs of Beiyan, but they are not fucking things! On weekdays, robbing men and women, doing all kinds of evil, and tying up other people's sons if they can't give tax money! On weekdays, if you don't like it, you pull out a knife and kill people, and you don't even blink your eyelids! Hey, if we grab food, it's no way! Before you even arrived, all the food in the village was stolen by the dogs! They also said that they were following the orders of the emperor Lao'er, collecting grain and defending the city everywhere, and they didn't even leave us a copper plate or a grain of rice! … Ay...... Lord, Lord, if an old bone like me can't eat it, he won't live for a few days...... But the dolls in the village are about to starve to death, this is evil...... Iniquity......"

As he spoke, the old man took off his back basket from his shoulders and pushed him down in front of Wang Zhengling; Wang Zhengling lifted a few sections of fresh aloe vera on it and looked down, only to see that the bottom of the basket was full of wild vegetables and tree bark......

"This group of beasts in Hedong City, if they do this kind of unconscionable deed, aren't they afraid of thunder and thunder?"

"God? What the hell is there...... What the hell is there......"

As the old man spoke, muddy tears rolled down, smashed into the soil, and also pierced into Wang Zhengling's heart.

The Wang family was originally a big family in Sanqin, although it was not a scholarly family, but at least since the three generations of their ancestors, they didn't know what it was like to be hungry. And Wang Zhengling is also the successor head of the Wang family, and because of his sister marrying into the royal family, he received a good education and grew into a young man who is both civil and military, and has the world in mind.

Although limited by his personal talent, it is difficult for Wang Zhengling to achieve great achievements in both civil and military arts; But his personal cultivation and moral sentiments are quite the legacy of ancient gentlemen.

The poor are treacherous, and the rich have a conscience. In fact, Wang Zhengling's previous remarks were originally just to find out the specific whereabouts of the grain robbers; But now that the people of Lishan are living in such hardship, they immediately feel compassion......

"Don't be sad, old man, our Qin army is a righteous army, and we are not all the way to that group of Beiyan beasts! I think it would be better to settle it like this, and in the future, the strong men in the village will go and help our brothers carry food; As for me, I will give you bread and pay according to the person and the day of the day. In this way, you will be a good and law-abiding citizen, and you will be able to support your families with your own strength in this chaotic world! ”

"Sir...... Sir! You are really a bodhisattva, let the little old man say something! Just now...... I was lying just now, there are dozens of young offspring in our place, who can't stand starvation, and who have committed serious crimes in a moment of confusion...... But they are all laborers, and the girls and dolls are waiting for them to raise...... You...... Is it okay for you to have mercy and not kill them? I...... This head will make amends for your crimes? Donkey baby, don't cry, come and kowtow to the old man to make amends......"

Wang Zhengling looked at the poor pair of ancestors and grandchildren, dragged the old man up, and said to him very solemnly:

"Old man, how can you believe me? I, Wang Zhengling, swear to heaven today that as long as you return the remaining food and ordnance, not only will I not kill anyone, but I will also leave you enough food to help those young people find an errand so that you can all have enough to eat! The emperor is above, the earth is below, if my Wang Zhengling has half a nonsense today, killing a common man who grabs grain, he will be destroyed by five thunders! ”

"Really...... It's true? You're really not trying to trick them out and kill them? ”

Seeing that Wang Zhengling said all the good things, and even swore a poisonous oath to heaven and earth, the old man still looked suspicious; The black cavalry soldier before was a little impatient, stepped forward and picked up the "donkey baby" with a red and swollen face, and said helplessly to the old man while coaxing the crying child:

"Old man, you are really, do you know who this is? This is our Qin Jun's national uncle, does the queen mother know? is the daughter-in-law of the emperor's old son, that is the sister of our general, a compatriot! Now the west of Hedong City is the territory of our Qin army; As long as he says he won't kill you, even if the king of heaven comes, no one will be able to touch a single hair of you! ”

With someone else's guarantee, and Wang Zhengling took out the golden sign, although the old man was illiterate, he finally let down his guard:

"You...... True...... Really don't kill us? ”

"Old man, didn't I swear just now? God can watch us from above! ”

"Good, good! Then I'll be honest with you, sir...... Food, each of us has a little bit of it's true; But the knife and the armor, none of us have touched it! You're right, we don't need those things, and, definitely! Let's go, let's go into the mountain with me and entertain all the Qin Jun masters...... Oh no, your horses are too tall to get into the mountains! What can I do about this......"

"Isn't that easy? We tethered our horses to the foot of the mountain, and you always found a few shrewd offspring to help us take care of them for the night; Tomorrow morning, we will return to the camp with our own ordnance, won't it be done? ”

As the soldier said, the ground west of Hedong City now belongs to the Qin army; And now that the "horse bandits" have been successfully recruited, the 8,000 war horses tied to the side of the mountain road for the night, and there will be no problems in the future. So, Wang Zhengling and the 8,000 heavily armored cavalry took off their armor, tied their horses, followed their grandchildren and grandchildren, and set foot on the steep mountain path again......

If Wang Zhengling knew the reason for the Mobei Iron Cavalry, he would not dare to kill him so much; It's just that the two places are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they belong to two armies, so naturally the news cannot be transmitted and shared in time......

What's more, Na Risu, the commander of the Mobei Iron Cavalry, did not have any opportunity to share it after getting a "painful lesson" on Zhongshan Road......

Wang Zhengling, who dismounted his armor and dismounted, and other 8,000 soldiers, followed the two ancestors and grandchildren, and slowly stepped into the Lishan Mountain Range. These precious cavalrymen, although they have not yet set foot on the frontal battlefield to fight the enemy; But he stayed on the front line for a long time to watch the battle and stand by. What I see and hear every day is also a cruel scene of corpses and a sea of blood and flesh and bones.

But now entering the depths of Li Mountain, there are birds singing and flowers everywhere, the scenery is pleasant, and the air is fresh; The gradually setting sun on the side of the mountain also paved the green valley forest spring with a warm and soft golden light......

"Tut-tut, Uncle Jia, you guys are really a fairyland here! In the future, I will calm down the troubled times for His Majesty King Qin, clear the world, and will definitely come here to live here for a while. ”

Jia Laoliu, who led the "grandson" to lead the way for the army, listened to Wang Zhengling's emotion, and laughed innocently:

"What kind of fairyland on earth, you will know if you really live, it is not as good as the city! When I was young, I took the opportunity to go out to sell mountain goods, and I also went into the city a few times! The food in the restaurant is so fragrant, the teahouse is also lively, you can buy whatever you want on the street, you don't have to do it yourself if you want to drink water, and some people pick it up to your doorstep! ”

Wang Zhengling smiled and hurriedly argued:

"Then you have to have silver! The hearts of the people in the city are cold, no matter what you do, you have to talk with money! A leisurely day like this of "cooking tea in the spring and shining in the warm sun" is really comfortable......"

Jia Lao Liu echoed casually, and sneered in his heart: Heh, like it or not, you kid have to "stay" here......
