Chapter 6 Xue Liang treats guests

Although the Southern Song Dynasty was decayed, the army's combat effectiveness was not as good as before, so it could only fight a good battle, and once it was at a disadvantage, it knew that the Yuan soldiers would flee. However, as a forbidden army, some procedures that should be followed still have to be followed, such as formation changes, individual combat, and bow and arrow shooting.

It was another morning, and the soldiers were already standing in line on the playground. Xue Liang looked at his team, and Shi Bin and the two of them were dressed in tattered clothes and rusty weapons with them, which was really unacceptable.

Dressed like this, he didn't look like a forbidden soldier but like a bandit in the cottage, Xue Liang couldn't help but blame himself, and was so careless that he forgot to prepare basic military uniforms and weapons and equipment for them.

After the training, Xue Liang immediately went to the warehouse to help them pick out a few sets of well-fitting military uniforms; Then they went to the armory and let them choose their favorite new weapons and suitable armor.

At this time, Shi Bin was also very grateful to Xue Liang, although he had some bad habits of traditional soldiers, he was also a righteous person, not the kind of person who could only draw cakes but didn't even give a steamed bun. As long as he does have some skills and does not contradict them, he will give some care.

Otherwise, these things will never be done in person, just find a veteran to take them. With such feelings, after the exercise, the soldiers gave him a few bottles of fine Fenjiu.

Human affection is very important, not to mention the softest cannibalism and the shortest hand to take people. Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum, and received those bottles of good wine Xue Liang helped them operate again.

In the end, Shi Bin was classified as a crossbowman, armed with a set of 20 kg light infantry armor, a crossbow arrow, and a self-defense long knife. Wang Sanlida was classified as a pikeman, armed with a set of 28 kg heavy infantry armor, a spear, and a self-defense long knife. However, the two did not belong to two combat units, but in a mixed battalion.

The two of them looked at the armor, weapons and formations in their hands and smiled happily, and couldn't stop thanking Xue Huochang.

After several months of training, the two brothers and Xue Liang got along with each other day and night, and found that they were still in the right temper. So every time the military salary was paid, the two often invited Xue Liang to go to the city together.

Saying that it is a shopping trip is actually to have a good relationship with the boss and invite him to a meal, after all, the sauerkraut steamed buns in the camp are really difficult to eat. Although the two of them are not paid much, they are still enough to eat a small stove occasionally. After all, neither of them was an ordinary peasant facing the loess and facing the sky before. Since this is the case, simply invite Xue Liang to kill two birds with one stone.

It was another day of military salaries, and the three of them entered the city and walked to a small wine shop, Xue Liang stopped and said with a smile: "Although the two brothers are not big, this wine shop is very distinctive, and the donkey meat here is very delicious." Big brother has earned a lot of benefits from you these days, and it's my turn to be the boss today. ”

Shi Bin and Wang San were surprised when they heard it, they must know that 'if things are abnormal, there must be demons', Wang San reacted quickly and immediately said: "Big brother, this can be a pain in the little brother, thanks to the big brother taking care of us, we can live so comfortably, what is it to drink two glasses of wine." ”

Knowing that Wang San was the most slippery and a delicate guy, maybe he felt something, Xue Liang was also an old man, so he feigned anger and said: "What are you talking about, you refuse to drink a glass of wine from the eldest brother?" Am I the kind of person who doesn't pull a dime? So don't give me face, you want me to lose face? ”

Shi Bin was taken by Wang San for a few months, and then said: "Big brother, could it be that my brothers have done something wrong?" Please say that we can change it. ”

Seeing that Shi Bin, who was usually very honest, had now become a little slippery, Xue Liang was very surprised, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. Knowing that this was the one who made them feel uneasy, I had to patiently persuade them not to worry, there was nothing bad.

A blessing is not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided. If this is really Xue Liang's sincere invitation to himself but repeatedly shirks it, isn't it ignorant of elevation? Besides, this is also a good opportunity to enhance the relationship with Xue Liang, and he immediately smiled: "Of course we have to give Huo Chang face, but my brothers are really embarrassed." In that case, then we will not be pleased with your wishes. After saying that, the three of them went into the wine shop with their shoulders hooked.

As soon as the hotel shopkeeper saw these military masters enter the door, he immediately ran over and said flatteringly: "Xue Huochang's visit to the small shop makes the small shop really shining!" What did the fire chief eat today? ”

Xue Liang said with a smile: "It's still the same as the old three, but today I brought the two brothers to cook more, so I brought four catties of donkey meat, half a catty of peanuts, and five pots of white dry." After speaking, the two Shi Bin brothers laughed while drinking tea.

Although the liquor store is not dilapidated, it is clearly marginally marginal, and the decoration is slightly old. And the shopkeeper retreated with a bitter gourd face.

After the meal was served, the three of them drank wine and ate meat very happily, Xue Liang and Shi Bin were both straight, and Wang San had two more eyes, but he was not a treacherous person. After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, everyone is on the rise, everything is easy to discuss, Xue Liang suddenly smiled and said: "The two brothers are trustworthy people, Shangfeng has explained some things that I need to do, but most of my subordinates are useless rice buckets, and now the eldest brother wants to ask you to help." ”

"Help? The fire chief is polite, what do you want us to do and say a word. Shi Bin replied very seriously.

"Do the two brothers often have none in their hands, and their lives are boring, and they regret coming to be the wastes who only train on the playground every day but don't kill the enemy?"

Xue Liang's words were unexpected, especially the last half of the sentence seemed to have seen their brother through.

"The fire chief knows my brother as well as his lungs and liver. It's really a bit of a constraint, and what's even more unpleasant is not to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Wang San smiled helplessly.

Of course, I understand that this is sycophant, but it's not all, it's still a bit of a truth. Thinking of Wang San's serious disagreement with his age, Xue Liang couldn't help laughing.

"Would you like to have a little more room for you? Do you want to go out and kill enemies? Now there's a chance to not only make some extra money, but also kill enemies. Xue Liang took a breath and said, "If you do well, maybe you will be promoted, but it's just a bit of a risk." ”

Wang San said suspiciously: "Risk?" He laughed loudly without hesitation: "The fire chief will definitely not take our brother into the ditch, and he will definitely not let us suffer." As we all know, Huo Chang is a gentleman who talks about righteousness, not the kind of insidious and cunning villain.

Although Shi Bin was a little hesitant when he heard the word "risk", his face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny and said: "As the saying goes: how much interest there is, how much risk there is, and pie will not fall from the sky." However, since the fire chief brought my two brothers here to discuss privately, he can afford us, trust us, and are willing to share the broth with my brother. Can't we understand any of this? ”

Xue Liang nodded happily, "Shi Bin, you are getting better and better at talking, it seems that Xiao San, this master is good." In fact, it's not a big deal, there are nobles who want to do some business with the north and do something. Need a few people to help. ”

"Doing business" is of course a pretext, most of it is something that is not visible, and the three of them understand it. But since you heard it, don't think about staying out of it anymore, you have to do it if you don't do it, but Wang San still asked tentatively: "What kind of business do you want to do?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, because I'm still short of manpower, the two brothers are good, I don't know if I'm willing to help the eldest brother? Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. ”

You and Shi Bin smiled after hearing this, and immediately agreed Xue Liang will definitely do his best to do a good job in this transaction, once this kind of thing is joined, it can definitely only succeed and not fail. After figuring this out, they began to discuss with Xue Liang what items they could take with them and which way to get out of the customs.

Happy times are always short-lived, and it didn't take long for the wine and meat to be eaten, and the three of them were all full of wine and food ready to leave.

And the shopkeeper of the shop saw that these drunken military masters didn't seem to have any intention of paying the bill, and he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to come forward to remind him. I had to continue to serve well. I just hope that these soldiers and ruffians can leave early, and don't get drunk and go crazy and smash this little wine shop.

Xue Liang walked out with a swagger, and the little shopkeeper stood with a sad face, Shi Bin couldn't bear it, after all, it is not easy for anyone to live now.

He walked over and stuffed some broken silver for the shopkeeper, but he was so frightened that he did not dare to reach out and take it. pushed Shi Bin vigorously, and a wry smile appeared on his face, as if it was not silver but a hot potato.

And Shi Bin still had the idea of not taking advantage of others in his previous life, and he had to stuff the money into the hands of the shopkeeper in his life. The two of them pulled and pulled like this, which was very funny. The last bit of silver fell and scattered to the ground.

Xue Liang heard the sound of the silver falling to the ground, turned around and looked at it and immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Brother Shi is really a gentleman, you can accept it from the shopkeeper Liu, it is not easy for you." Shopkeeper Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, accepted the silver with a smile, and looked at Shi Bin's back gratefully.

Although he still doesn't know what Xue Liang's "business" is, it is definitely a very important thing from his attitude. Therefore, the two Shi Bin brothers are still very happy, at least it shows that Xue Liang does still trust them, and it is indeed possible to kill the enemy and serve the country.
