Juan. Cleo is really not very comfortable these days, and when the Xingtian Army arrives here, he starts to work non-stop, and the robber head forgets him completely, so his life is naturally not easy. （）

For him, his identity in the Xingtian Army was very embarrassing, neither a prisoner nor a meat ticket, but he couldn't let him go, so he could only throw him into the baggage barracks and let a general in the baggage barracks watch him.

The team will see that this guy is also tall and big, and the amount of food is also large, so it is a pity to provide him with white food, so they simply sent him to the stable, specializing in forage for the cattle, and the provincial guy ate and drank for nothing and waited for death.

So poor Juan became the glorious groom's assistant to the Heavenly Army, and began a life of forage for more than a month, and every morning he had to be picked up and slipped up, and went to the stable to begin to crush the hay, and worked in the stable for more than a month.

Fortunately, Fan Yutong reminded Xiao Tianjian, if this was not the case, Juan didn't know how long he would have to put forage in the stable!

But Juan, this guy, is also a person who is at ease with what he encounters, although the grass is very monotonous every day, but this guy has not always put his mind on the matter of the forage, but like a chatterbox, see who chats with whom, more than a month, the Chinese level has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is much more fluent than before, and this guy is well-informed, and belongs to a more capable guy, and the people he knows don't hate him, so no one bullies him, as long as he does his job well, it will become.

For the Chinese Spring Festival, Juan didn't feel much, but he was happy that on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he also fished a meal of meat and ate it, but this guy was very happy, and the guy ate the stewed vegetables in a bowl of the sea in one go, and almost licked the bottom of the bowl.

To be honest, Juan is not satisfied with the quality of the food of the Xingtianjun, he is just able to eat half full, not to mention anything delicious, and there are few opportunities to eat meat, but he also knows what kind of virtue the Ming Dynasty is now, I think when he followed the pastor to Taiyuan to preach, it was almost the same as asking for food, and then the pastor died, and his bodyguard had no way to live, and he almost starved to death on the streets of Taiyuan, so he also knew that like in the Xingtianjun, he could eat, which was already quite good, So I didn't ask for too much.

But he was still secretly pondering, how to leave here, he only knew that this was still Shanxi, this place is called Yangcheng, but in what location, he can't figure it out, how to return to Macau, it is unimaginable for him, China is too big, when he came to Taiyuan with a longing pastor, his mind was full of things to make a fortune, but the ideal is very full, but the reality is too skinny, the wealth has not been able to be made, but the fat on this body has lost dozens of catties, So when he remembered the pastor who had fooled him into coming to China, he would lash out and curse the pastor who had lied to him that he would not be able to see God when he died, but would be caught by Satan and sent to hell.

Although Juan wants to go back to Macau and find an opportunity to take a boat back to Portugal, but he is a little unwilling, the reason why he can be fooled into coming to China shows that he is a restless speculator, so he goes back in such a gray way, this guy is a little unwilling, so although during the forage period, he is not without the opportunity to escape, but after several struggles, Juan gave up the opportunity to escape, and even he didn't know what he was looking forward to, but faintly intuition told him that if he didn't leave, it would be bad to be here, he really might have a chance to get ahead, that's why he persevered.

And just after he held the bowl and licked the bottom of the bowl on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the good days finally made him wait, and a senior in charge of him ran into his room and smiled at him: "Foreign devil, your good day is coming!" Get up and follow me! ”

Juan was still nervous at first, and hurriedly asked this chief what was looking for him so late, so this chief punched him in the chest, and said with a smile: "You kid is blessed, our general is looking for you, and I have ordered you not to let you cook forage here, first give you another place to live, and he will see you in person tomorrow!" ”

Juan was a little happy at this time, and faintly felt that his good days might really come, although he had contradicted the general of the Xingtian Army twice, but looking at the tall young general of the Xingtian Army, he was not an unreasonable person, and he had no ill will towards him, he should not do anything to him, and he may not be reused!

Isn't there a saying in China? What Bole, what Maxima, he thinks that in some things, he still knows more than the Chinese here.

So he packed up his things, and as the chief had left the stable, he was soon placed in a single room, where a clean bedding had been prepared for him, and at last he did not have to sleep in the straw nest of the stable, so Juan cheered, and then went into the bed, and waited for the dawn with his arms on his pillow.

After waiting like this, Juan waited until the afternoon of the first day of the new year, when someone came over and took him out of the room, Juan looked at this person's dress, and knew that this person should belong to the escort team, the guards are all the elite of the Xingtian Army, belong to the very strong kind of people, the quality of the equipment is also quite good, each person's arm is also decorated with a red cloth, so that people can understand their identity at a glance, and now the people of the escort team are not only responsible for providing protection for the officers above the general, but also shoulder the work of law enforcement in the army, Punishing those soldiers and generals who violate discipline is very transcendent in the Xingtian Army.

Since this guard came to mention him, then there must be an important person who wants to see him next, so Juan followed this guard uneasily and came to the courtyard at the core of Lotus Village.

After the guard's briefing, Juan finally walked into this room, the furnishings in the room were very simple, that is, a large table and a few chairs, there were messy books, drawings and other things on the table, and there were a few simple maps hanging on the wall, and the leader of the Xingtian Army, whom he had met twice, sat behind the table, and the things in his hands also made him very familiar, it turned out that Xiao Tianjian was holding Juan the Western-style sword he carried with him.

Xiao Tianjian raised his head and looked at Juan who came in, Juan hurriedly bowed his head and saluted him, Xiao Tianjian put down the sword that Juan was equipped with, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be called Juan. Cleo! You also gave yourself a Chinese name, as if it were ...... Hehe! Forgot! Tell me about it! How has this time been? ”

"Thank you chief, remember the name below, the Chinese name is Gaosu under it! Your Excellency Chief, you might as well call me Gao Su! As for how this time passed, thanks to the care of the chief, he did not starve to death! Now I should be the fastest and best in your army! "Juan, this guy is bold, and he didn't have much fear when he saw Xiao Tianjian, and even said to Xiao Tianjian with some teasing.

Xiao Tianjian laughed and said, "Yo!?" Your Chinese language has improved by leaps and bounds! But you don't learn well, the accent is too heavy, there are both Shaanxi accents and Shanxi accents, a bit different!

Well, I know you're not happy with your life during this time, and here I apologize to you! I've been so busy during this time that I've forgotten about you and made you suffer! ”

Juan bowed down and said with a gentlemanly look: "Don't dare! I accept the apology of adult under it! ”

"Can you tell me more about your resume? I'm still curious about your origins! It's about the quality of your life here in the future, and it's best if you don't hide it! Xiao Tianjian didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked him directly.

Juan nodded and said, "That's no problem at all, I told you before, I'm Portuguese, I used to be a mercenary, and I was hired by a priest to protect him as a guard to come to your country to preach!"

I used to ......"

Xiao Tianjian quietly listened to Juan finish his experience, and was secretly happy in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and after listening to it, he just nodded slightly, and did not say too much.

Juan was talking about his resume, while secretly observing Xiao Tianjian's expression, seeing that Xiao Tianjian had a blank face, he didn't seem to be too interested in his resume, so he couldn't help but be secretly disappointed in his heart, feeling that this time his value didn't seem to be as high as he originally thought.

"Hmmm! It's okay, so you're thirty-five years old this year? Don't you have a wife and children? Why come to China? Don't tell me you have lofty ideals and want to spread God's blessings to us in China! You're a mercenary, I don't believe in such words! Xiao Tianjian said to Juan unceremoniously.

Juan was a little embarrassed, because he didn't expect the leader of the Xingtian Army to be so powerful, and he saw at a glance that his purpose in coming to China was not pure, so he had to reply: "Yes, my lord, I am indeed thirty-five years old, and so far I have no wife or children, and as for my coming to your country, this matter has to be told from the damned priest, who told me that you have gold everywhere, and said that as long as I follow him here, I can earn a lot of gold, and when I return home, I can buy my own estate, As a result, I didn't think of this, but I found out that I was fooled! Later, it was the Fan family who relieved me, so I didn't starve to death, so I followed the Fan family's caravan to protect Miss Fan to your country's Nanjing, wanted to return to Macau, and then board a ship to return to China, but I didn't expect to be caught here by adults and raise horses for more than a month! ”

Xiao Tianjian also laughed, it was not his idea to let this guy raise horses, but he was also responsible for his negligence, so he relaxed his expression and asked him: "Okay, I believe you are an honest person, you didn't lie to me!" So you said that you used to be an artillery captain in the mercenaries, so let me ask you, do you know how artillery is cast? ”
