……
"Xie Ping'an~"
"To~"
"Two, two, six dollars, you order, and then draw a bet here."
"No need to order, don't I Xie Ping'an still believe in the credibility of my military governor's mansion? That's it! ”
After the afternoon exercise, Xie Ping'an and Zhuo Shaoyun came to the account room to receive their share of the salary, and without looking at it, they put it in their arms and pressed the red thumb print in front of their roster.
And after Zhuo Shaoyun received his share, he carefully clicked it to confirm that it was two taels or six dollars, and then he pressed his handprint and walked out of the account room with Xie Ping'an.
"Shaoyun, remember today, this is the first military salary we have earned in our lives, and it is also the beginning of our dreams to realize, we will definitely live a better life in the future, eldest brother promises you, one day you will marry a beautiful daughter-in-law!" After walking out of the account room, Xie Ping'an patted the silver in his arms, and expressed his mood with Zhuo Shaoyun with a satisfied face.
And Zhuo Shaoyun wrapped the money and handed it to Xie Ping'an and said, "Big brother, I didn't think about it so much, you can keep these money for me, I can't use it now anyway." ”
Xie Ping'an glanced at the silver bag, then at his younger brother, shook his head and smiled and took the silver: "It's okay, I'll save for you to marry a daughter-in-law, by the way, have you been in Jizhou for so long?" ”
Zhuo Shaoyun shook his head shyly: "Big brother, I am a pawn, and now I am just an ordinary corporal in the army, who has no money and no power can look up to us, and I don't think so much about it for the time being, I just want to be able to go into battle with my eldest brother to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" ”
"Good brother!" Xie Ping'an nodded appreciatively, "You have such ambitions, big brother is very pleased, but with your skills, I believe that it won't be long before you will be able to get out of the army, the so-called ......"
Zhuo Shaoyun hurriedly interrupted Xie Ping'an to continue talking nonsense, and said to him: "Big brother, don't talk about it, let's hurry up and clean up the drill ground, and when it's over, I have to go to the stable to clean up, I hope to finish the work before dinner, there is meat tonight......"
"I know how ......to eat meat," Xie Ping'an muttered when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly at him, "Big brother knows that he is useless, he has followed me for so many years, and he hasn't eaten a few full meals, and he finally has a full meal or is still in the army, alas~"
Zhuo Shaoyun said: "Big brother, you are here again, no matter what, you can be with your eldest brother even if you are hungry every day......
"You, that's all there is to it......" Xie Ping'an was relieved, and his tone was tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction, "From now on, we will not only have to eat enough every day, but also be a master, and use our courage to fight all this, you know?" ”
"Got it, big brother......
Zhuo Shaoyun nodded, and was about to say more, when suddenly an officer came in front of him, but it was Cao Yan, the new flag chief of his banner, who had just been transferred out of the Jingwei battalion, and the two of them hurriedly stood in a military posture and saluted him.
"Mr. Cao Qi, that is Zhuo Shaoyun......"
Walking up to the two, a guard secretly muttered something in Cao Yan's ear.
Cao Yan nodded and said to Zhuo Shaoyun: "In the morning, you alone beat the first fifteen people with your bare hands all over the ground looking for teeth?" ”
Xie Ping'an and Zhuo Shaoyun were stunned at the same time, Xie Ping'an hurriedly said good things: "Mr. Cao Qi, my brother is not sensible, you will ......"
"Shut up, did Benqi always ask you?" Cao Yan glared at Xie Ping'an, and after he was frightened, he quickly shut up, and then looked at Zhuo Shaoyun coldly.
Zhuo Shaoyun met Cao Yan's gaze and arched his hand and said, "Corporal Zhuo Shaoyun has seen President Cao Qi. ”
"Good!" Cao Yan nodded, "You are good, now I have a beauty on hand that needs someone to do it, of course it is completely voluntary, I don't know if I have the guts?" ”
Zhuo Shaoyun was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Xie Ping'an on the side couldn't help but speak again: "Mr. Cao Qi!" If you have any errands, just ask, my Xunshan men are all gentlemen, and they are full of guts, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, their brows will not wrinkle......"
"It's not that serious, and the sea of swords and fires doesn't worry about you recruits going to die." Cao Yan said arrogantly, "It's just for you to pick up a few people, recently there is a small group of thieves near Python Mountain in the south, and the Security Division needs my Huaizi Battalion to send someone to go to suppress, I don't know if you dare to go in person?" ”
Zhuo Shaoyun was about to speak when he heard this, but Xie Ping'an said excitedly: "Of course I dare, why am I a Xunshan man afraid of treachery, and besides, my brother is excellent in martial arts, how can a mere thief get my brother?" ”
"I didn't talk to you, shut up for me!" Cao Yan's head suddenly became bigger, and it was the first time he had seen such a chatter.
Zhuo Shaoyun said to Cao Yan: "Thank you Cao Qi for your love, Corporal Zhuo Shaoyun is willing to go!" However, can Cao Qi always promise me one thing? ”
"Oh? Talk to me about the conditions? The corners of Cao Yan's mouth raised, and he chuckled, "That's it, today is your choice, and this banner will always allow you to talk about your requirements." ”
Zhuo Shaoyun glanced at Xie Ping'an, and then said, "Can you let my eldest brother go with me, so that I can take care of it?" ”
Hearing this, Cao Yan looked at Xie Ping'an, who was fat, frowned, took out a secret letter and handed it to Zhuo Shaoyun and asked, "Literate, right?" This is what the military advisor Xu Wenjing explained, the name and location of the person to be picked up are in it, remember, you can't leak it out, and then go to a few people who have believed in it to go to the arsenal to get armor and weapons,
The war horse has been prepared at the gate of the camp, give you half an hour, hurry up and prepare, remember not to leak the slightest rumor! ”
After speaking, Cao Yan turned around with a smile on his face, and muttered in passing: "It's really cheap, you guys, you will have the opportunity to make military merits in January, tsk......t"
"Shaoyun, the opportunity has come!" After Cao Yan left, Xie Ping'an said excitedly, "What did I say, this military stick didn't suffer a hundred times, right?" Take a look at what the letter says! Xu Wenjing and Xu Junshi, Wenjie of Southern Hebei and Dingzhou, that is a big celebrity in front of the military governor! ”
Zhuo Shaoyun was also enthusiastic at this time, pulled Xie Ping'an to find a place where no one was, tore open the letter and looked at it, and then the eyes of the two lit up together.
"Shaoyun, this time we are here to operate......" Xie Ping'an covered his heart, and almost danced, "The family of the military governor is actually going to move to Jizhou, we ......"
"Shh, big brother, have you forgotten Mr. Cao Qi's explanation?" Zhuo Shaoyun was also very excited in his heart, but he still restrained his emotions and kept a clear head, "Hurry up and gather the brothers of Xunshan, and then go to get the weapons and armor, don't say anything more." ”
Xie Ping'an said: "You're right, I'm going to find them, we Xunshan men should support each other, and everyone will share the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." ”
……
After Xie Ping'an found eighteen people who were picked from the military sticks during the day, Qi Qi came to the arsenal, and each of them received a new set of fine iron cuirass, gauntlets, iron mesh cotton gloves, as well as a pair of fine cotton visors and an eight-petal wrought iron hat, plus a pitch-black robe.
"Yes, yes!" Xie Ping'an looked at his appearance in the glass mirror, patted the new iron armor, and laughed loudly, "There is such a fine armor in our army, why worry about the immortality of Hu Nu!" ”
"One person has a ring head knife with a short knife, and then pick up your own weapons......
The military officer showed a trace of impatience at the non-stop stinky beauty of these twenty people, and muttered a few words angrily, not that this military officer had a bad attitude, but that he had seen too many scenes in this situation, and whoever was on duty would have this kind of expression.
"What a good knife......
Stroking the well-made ring head knife in his hand, Zhuo Shaoyun sighed sincerely, after collecting it on his waist, he looked at the other long weapons in the arsenal, and suddenly stopped in front of a black spear more than three meters long, only to see that the sixty centimeter-long spear tip also showed a pitch-black mark, which couldn't help but attract him.
"Shangguan, this spear?"
"This is a lance and spear, weighing thirty-three pounds, not a movement that ordinary people can dance......"
When Zhuo Shaoyun heard this, he said respectfully to the military officer: "Can you let me try to take advantage of it?" ”
"Just try it, and use it as soon as you use it......" said the military officer with a straight face.
Zhuo Shaoyun's eyes flashed brightly, he held the lance with one hand, lifted it suddenly, and then couldn't stop dancing in the arsenal, bringing up pieces of strong wind and cold that made people unable to open their eyes.
"Good!"
Seeing that Zhuo Shaoyun's marksmanship was superb and powerful, everyone present, including the military officer, applauded again and again and affirmed his marksmanship.
"Good gun, good lance!"
After Zhuo Shaoyun finished dancing and collecting the gun, he also praised Youzhou, and he couldn't put it down with this long lance.
When the group came to Yingkou and saw the war horses that had been prepared, they couldn't help but be stunned, especially Zhuo Shaoyun stroked the horse's mane, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, what he thought during the day came true so quickly, it was really unexpected......
