When Ling Xia's buffet was running until the tenth day, Shi Polei rushed to the back kitchen, and he told Ling Xia and Yang Lucai with a happy face that three centurions had just found him, and from tomorrow, the three centurions would also come here to eat the buffet.

As soon as he heard the news, Yang Lucai suddenly smiled, during this time, he can be said to have had enough of Scrooge's addiction, sleeping with the money box all day long, he has a small notebook, which records the daily expenses and profits in detail, and even remembers the fraction Please be clear.

Last time, Lao Cui led more than ten people to eat in the canteen, and Ling Xia exempted several of them from the meal, which made Yang Lucai feel very distressed, seeing that he made more than ten copper coins less at once, Yang Lucai was anxious and angry, he directly recorded it in the small book, and planned to deduct the money from Ling Xia when he paid dividends at the end of the month.

Yang Lucai didn't expect that when he was about to finish work, Shi Polei sent such a good news, thinking that the profit in the back could be doubled again, he agreed without hesitation, he thought that Ling Xia would be happy, but when he looked at it, he found that Ling Xia showed a trace of sadness.

"What's wrong? You seem to be a little upset? Shi Polei also discovered Ling Xia's abnormality and couldn't help but ask him.

"My lord, our current manpower can barely sustain more than 300 people, if we have more than half, we will not have enough manpower." After speaking, Ling Xia pointed to Lao Cui, who was washing dishes from the front of the pot and said, "I even transferred him, so it can be seen that our manpower is really insufficient." ”

"My lord, Ling Xia said that it is indeed good, our manpower is indeed a little tight, not to mention Lao Cui, even I have stepped forward to help, if there are three hundred more people, we will not be able to take care of it." Yang Lucai also discovered this problem, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"What then? Don't make any money? Looking at Ling Xia, who looked worried, Shi Polei said casually: "Isn't it just that there are not enough people, what is this, there are more than 100 people in our team, just draw a few people for you."

In this way, this official now officially appoints you as the fifth captain of the 700th team, and you can manage five people under your hands, which is already the maximum authority I can appoint, because the grain and grass order and the five commanders have no rank, so I can appoint them.

If it goes up further, like the Bi Ma Wen from the ninth rank and the ten captains from the ninth grade, then the general officer needs to issue a military seal, because those are all officers with ranks, and the officers below the seventh rank are appointed by the Yamen of the War Guard, and the officers above the seventh rank must be transferred by the military department.

I've given you my maximum authority, congratulations, you're now a five-captain, let's go around the team, I'll announce your appointment, and when you're done, you'll pick five pleasing soldiers to come and cook for you. ”

"This ------- not very good------- then ------ thank you, my lord, let's hurry up and choose someone, I have figured out several dishes today to ensure that everyone can eat comfortably." With a pretended polite remark, Ling Xu couldn't wait to drag Shi Polei out.

……

The deputy general of the Ministry of War made Yi Zhinan's mansion, the envoy Yi Zhinan was practicing from his arsenal, his weapon was a spear, I saw him holding a spear in one hand, his body was like electricity, pointing, stabbing, sweeping, piercing, and putting a spear to make it like a spiritual snake flying.

Just when he was at the beginning of his practice, the door was suddenly pushed open, and when he heard the sound of pushing the door, Yi Zhinan subconsciously threw his hand back to the horse pistol, and pointed a spear at the throat of the person who came, the tip of the hair was only about one centimeter according to the throat of the other party, and only a little force could pierce the throat of the person.

"Big ------ brother------ it's my ------ I heard the housekeeper say------ you ------ you have something urgent to find me------- I'll come over." The visitor felt the cold feeling coming from the tip of the spear, and hurriedly spoke in fright.

If Ling Xia saw this person, he would definitely be surprised, because this person was Yi Shirong, the commander of Chong'an County, who had mysteriously disappeared before.

"How many times have I told you, you can enter my room here, but this practice room can't, what if I practice to the point of madness and hurt you." With a light word, Yi Zhinan put away his spear and picked up a towel to wipe his sweat:

"Just now, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War came to me, saying that the Infinite Ocean Island Country has frequently caused trouble from the border recently, and the spies have also sent news that the monarch of the Infinite Ocean Island Country has ordered conscription, and in just half a year, their conscription amount has exceeded five million.

We have the border line of the seven territories and the chain of the infinite ocean island country, if they raise an army, they can invade our land in an instant, Lord Shangshu means the main station, hoarding heavy troops to prepare for war, but those civil officials mean the main peace.

The Household Department Scholars, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and even the Officials Department Scholars all oppose the accumulation of troops, on the grounds that the other party'-----s conscription is their own family's business, and it has nothing to do with us.

The purpose of the War Department is self-evident in the fact that the Ministry of War intends to send me to serve as the general of the War Guard Army in Chuanxi Province, which is the closest province to the island country of the Infinite Sea.

After the accident of Wu Zhenshan's waste, the Criminal Department and the Praetorian Guard strengthened the investigation, and all operations were suspended during this time, and you are okay now, just go to me for a position, you go and clean up, and set off with me tonight. ”

"Big brother, after Wu Zhenshan's accident, why didn't there be any reaction in the palace?" Yi Shirong asked curiously.

"Presumptuous, is this what you can inquire about? If I hadn't sent someone to infiltrate Wu Zhenshan's team in advance, you would have died in the hands of Su Jing'an, you can't do such a trivial matter, it's really a waste, now hurry up and pack your things, and follow me to the loamy territory later. ”

After a reprimand, Yi Zhinan kicked Yi Shirong out, looked at Yi Shirong's back, remembered Yi Shirong's question just now, he stood with his hands on his shoulders, and said with emotion: "In the palace? Alas----- now that the palace is in chaos, it is not a good thing to leave this whirlpool at this moment. ”

……

No one knows what Yi Zhinan's words mean? At this moment, Ling Xia was leading the five people he had just selected to gather from the back kitchen of the cafeteria, looking at the five majestic men in front of him, Ling Xia showed a satisfied expression.

These five big men are quintuplets brothers, all of them look like tigers, rough and honest in appearance, violent and straightforward, muscles all over the body, arms are bulging, and they are full of explosive power at a glance, although they look very similar, but Ling Xia can still distinguish them.

The eldest Luo Xiujin, the second Luo Xiumu, the third Luo Xiushui, the fourth Luo Xiuhuo, and the fifth Luo Xiutu, these five people are all strong in martial arts, and they have reached the peak of external strength.

Although the five brothers are all martial arts masters, their personalities are not suitable for officials, and the above originally planned to let them serve as the commander of the ten, but several of them beat the soldiers at every turn, and when they saw this situation, they gave up this idea.

When Ling Xia went to pick people, he fell in love with the five of them at a glance, originally Shi Polei had a headache with these five thorny soldiers, although the five of them had very high martial arts, but they knew that they were in trouble every day, and seeing that Ling Xia actually chose them away, Shi Polei agreed without thinking about it.

After coming to the cafeteria, their faces were full of disdain, looking at Ling Xia's thin body, the five brothers expressed their dissatisfaction with Ling Xia, Luo Xiujin proposed to have a competition, if Ling Xia could defeat the five of them, they would bow down to Ling Xia in the future, if Ling Xia couldn't win against the five of their brothers, let Ling Xia send them back to the barracks.

Seeing that the board was called here, Yang Lucai and Liu Piaoyi also came over, they wanted to see if Ling Xia could submit the five brothers?

"Shopkeeper, Lao Cui, Liu Piaoyi, Shangguan Hui, Qu Qinshi, if your martial arts are compared with the five of them, whose martial arts are higher?" Seeing the five brothers shouting, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ling Xia asked with a smile.

Yang Lucai shook his head: "Since I came here to be a cooking soldier, my martial arts have long been wasted. ”

Lao Cui smiled and shook his head: "What I'm good at is light skills, and the five of their brothers should practice horizontal kung fu, I can't beat them." ”

Liu Piaoyi has an extroverted personality, she said with a smile: "I made it a secret weapon, if it is a sneak attack, it can hurt them, but if you want to compete in a bright and bright light, I can't." ”

Shangguan Hui's personality is a little cold, and he doesn't like to talk too much: "I practice as a stroking acupoint, if I fight in close combat, I can defeat one." ”

Quqin poet is as her name suggests, an introverted and shy girl with a gentle personality: "I can ----- fight with the five of them, and I should be able to win......

"What did you say?"

"Really?"

"You?"

After listening to Qu Qinshi's words, everyone at the scene, including Ling Xia, looked at Qu Qinshi with a shocked face, and seeing that everyone was staring at him, the expression on Qu Qinshi's face became even more shy, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at everyone.

"Don't say anything, let the results speak, Qu Qinshi, go, compete with the five of them, if you win, I'll give you paid leave."

After speaking, Ling Xia fried a large plate of peanuts, sprinkled some salt and sugar on it, and divided them one by one for Yang Lucai and the others, and then they sat on a chair, eating crispy fried peanuts, and watched Qu Qinshi fight against the five brothers.

Hearing that Qu Qinshi was going to challenge his five brothers, the five Luo Xiujin brothers were full of anger on their faces, the five of them surrounded Qu Qinshi in the middle, and after setting up a posture, the five of them clenched their fists in a casserole, and after transporting their true qi, they raised their fists and hit Qu Qinshi, and they did not show mercy because Qu Qinshi was a girl.

Once Qu Qinshi, who originally had a gentle and quiet temperament, arrived on the battlefield, her momentum changed dramatically, I saw her holding her breath and staring coldly, her aura was not inferior to the other five, looking at the fists from the five brothers, her figure flickered, and disappeared from the spot in an instant, and when she reappeared, she was already standing next to Luo Xiujin.

Vertical palm like a knife, towards Luo Xiujin's neck lightly, Luo Xiujin didn't even snort before he fell, after subduing Luo Xiujin with one move, Qu Qinshi used the same body to fight against the other four, only to see Qu Qin's body like electricity, from the encirclement of the four brothers like no one.

After four moves, Qu Qinshi stood shyly in place, perhaps because of her inner nervousness, she kept her head down and didn't speak, and kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands. On the ground around her, the five Roche brothers lay unconscious on the ground.

On the other hand, Ling Xia and a few people, holding peanuts in their hands, were all stunned in a daze, a few of them just put the peanuts in their mouths, and the battle here was over, rubbing their eyes vigorously, to make sure that they were not mistaken, everyone gasped: "Hiss......"

Especially Ling Xia, seeing that Qu Qinshi had leveled the five Luo brothers so quickly, he was stunned, because he was so frightened that he forgot to chew the peanuts in his mouth, at this moment, the peanuts in his mouth were leaking out.
