Burst!

The dagger slashed through Liu Qian's neck, and the poor worm suddenly burst into blood.

His hands were tied behind his back, but he instinctively struggled to plug the wound.

But it was all in vain, and he convulsed for a moment before he collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Chen Mazi was already frightened.

"Why, why kill him?"

Wu Ergou sneered and said, "Are you still going to take him back to the barracks?" We've asked everything we need to ask, and it's useless to take him back. What's more, if we are discovered, it is we who die. ”

Wu Ergou wiped the dagger with a cotton cloth and put it back in his sleeve.

"General Qi said that being a sentry is the most taboo and soft-hearted, if you are still like today, I advise you not to be a sentry in the future. Because sooner or later, you're going to lose your life because of it. ”

Wu Ergou shrugged his shoulders and nodded at Chen Mazi: "Don't be stunned there, come and help." ”

"What for?"

Chen Mazi looked at Wu Ergou vigilantly.

"Throw him off the cliff. Do you want the bandits to find this guy's body? Didn't that tell them that the officers and soldiers were coming! ”

Wu Ergou glared at Chen Mazi angrily.

"Good, good..."

Although Chen Mazi was very frightened, he couldn't refuse Wu Ergou, so he had to take a deep breath and have the courage to move the body.

It's not my fault, it's Wu Ergou who killed him!

Chen Mazi repeatedly admonished himself in his heart. But he still didn't dare to look at Liu Qian's corpse, and kept turning his head sideways.

"Hehe, Brother Mazi is born twice once, we are also killing for the first time, and we will be more skilled next time. We are soldiers, we lick blood from the edge of the knife to live, how can we be embarrassed to say that we are soldiers if we have never seen blood. ”

You don't feel like you're killing someone for the first time!

Chen Mazi said secretly in his heart.

Although Wu Ergou is from the same village as him, his temperament is very different. Although Chen Mazi doesn't like farming, he has never done anything to cheat and abduct.

That's it, now that you've put on this big red fat jacket, you have to ask yourself to be like a soldier!

Finally, Chen Mazi mustered up the courage to lift Liu Qian's legs, while Wu Ergou grabbed Liu Qian's arms, and the two of them threw the body down the cliff together.

"Brother, don't be a bandit in the next life!"

Chen Mazi sighed.

...

...

In the marching camp, Qi Wen stared at the two people in front of him like torches.

Wu Ergou and Chen Mazi knelt on the ground respectfully, answering all questions.

"Are you saying that there are only about 900 bandits on this mountain, and there are few firearms?"

"Back to the general's words, this is all from the mouth of a bandit patrolling the mountains, there should be no fake."

Wu Ergou replied respectfully.

"What about the bandits?"

"It's been disposed of."

"Oh."

Qi Wen was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure.

"This is your first time on a reconnaissance mission, right? Well done. ”

Qi Wen rubbed his palms and said, "Do you want to join the scout battalion?" ”

Wu Ergou was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't want to be a big soldier for a long time, but he had no way out and could only endure it all the time. This time he came back to suppress bandits in Pishan, General Qi Wen deliberately selected dozens of people from ordinary soldiers to be sentry detectives, and he did not hesitate to sign up, just to seize the opportunity.

Well, General Qi Wen appointed him to the reconnaissance cavalry battalion, which is a recognition of his ability. Only a fool would refuse at this time!

"Thank you General Qi for your bid, and you are willing to join the Scout Cavalry Battalion!"

Wu Ergou clasped his hands into fists and gave a military salute.

"Okay, what about you?"

Qi Wen nodded with satisfaction, and then set his eyes on Chen Mazi.

"General, I..."

Chen Mazi was obviously not ready, and subconsciously lowered his head.

"It's okay, you can say whatever you want."

Qi Wen waved his hand.

"General, I, I don't want to join the Scout Battalion."

Hearing this, Qi Wen sighed, and Wu Ergou almost fainted.

This guy is really an elm pimple, this kind of good thing has been pushed in front of him, and he can still refuse.

But in front of General Qi Wen, he couldn't directly persuade Chen Mazi, he was in a hurry.

"Oh, why don't you want to join the Recon Battalion? You must know that the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion are paid five taels of silver a month, which is twice that of ordinary soldiers. Moreover, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion can also get an additional fifteen acres of land. ”

Qi Wen didn't show the slightest displeasure, but asked with interest.

"Back to the general's words, his subordinates feel that what the reconnaissance battalion needs is the two dog brothers who are agile and decisive. If a fool like me enters the scout camp, he will become a drag on them. Lord Ning also said that people are self-aware, let's figure it out, so we can honestly be an ordinary soldier. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Qi Wen laughed twice, took two steps forward and patted Chen Mazi on the shoulder and said, "What General Ben wants to listen to is the truth, you are willing to tell the truth, it's good." Get up! ”

Qi Wen directly helped Chen Mazi up, which made Wu Ergou a little jealous. Obviously, he is the hero of this reconnaissance operation, why does General Qi Wen favor Chen Mazi instead.

Chen Mazi stood up in fear and cast a grateful glance at Qi Wen.

He really didn't expect General Qi to really agree to his request. He didn't expect that General Qi would agree with his choice, and even personally helped him up.

"General Qi, we have one more request..."

"Say it."

Qi Wen was in a good mood, so he simply waved his hand.

"We hope to be a fireman."

"Oh? Why do you want to be a fireman? It is understandable that you don't want to join the cavalry battalion, after all, ordinary soldiers also have two or five silver a month, but the fire soldiers only have one or two five silver a month, and they can't share the land. ”

In Qi Wen's view, the attraction of acres to soldiers is greater than silver. The land on Wuzhushan Island is limited, and it must be given priority to the soldiers, and the interests of the firefighters must be sacrificed.

From another point of view, this is also to ensure the enterprising spirit of the army. After all, as the old saying goes, if the soldiers, scouts, and firefighters are treated the same, and everyone eats a big pot of rice, then who will want to go into battle to kill the enemy?

"We don't want fields, we have fields in our hometown, we think one or two or five silver a month is enough, we just want to be a fireman."

Chen Mazi plucked up his courage and said in one breath.

"Well, General Ben is right."

Qi Wen didn't think that Chen Mazi's choice was a. After all, every job needs someone to do it, and although the firefighters can't go into battle to kill the enemy, they also shoulder the heavy responsibility of cooking for the soldiers. If the soldiers can't eat well, how can they have the strength to go into battle and kill the enemy?

This is also the concept that Lord Ning Xiuning has always instilled in him. As a superior, the consideration is to be able to put everyone in the position that suits them best. Only by making the best use of people can the team exert its greatest power, and this superior can be called competent.
