In fact, when he heard that his uncle Chen Yan wanted to give himself a position as a military marquis in the army formed by the Chen family, Liu Ji's first reaction was to refuse, and asking his father Liu Hao's opinion was just an excuse. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Ji is not afraid to join the army to kill the enemy, through this turbulent era, and after this period of adaptation, Liu Ji has already prepared to fight on the battlefield, not to mention that he still has a few skilled generals under his command, if you want to get ahead in this troubled era, you can't work hard.

The problem is that Liu Ji, who was used to being idle in the previous life, is not willing to become a subsidiary of the Chen family, even if the Chen family is his mother's family, he is not willing, and Liu Ji is very convinced of the truth that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Chen Yan then took Liu Ji and his party to leave the Chen family's farm and rushed to the county seat of Qi County, Chen Yan was ready to place Liu Ji and these people in the Chen family's mansion, anyway, the Chen family's mansion has a lot of vacant rooms, not to mention Liu Ji's little person, even if it is ten or twenty times more, the Chen family's mansion can easily live.

Not long after Chen Yan, Liu Ji and others left the farm, Liu Ji's other uncle, Chen Qi, rode a war horse and returned to the farm with four cavalrymen.

Chen Qi, the steward, immediately smiled when he heard that 441 young and strong men had been recruited at one time, and praised Chen Baocai, and Chen Baocai excluded Cheng Yi, who was given to Liu Ji as a groom, from recruiting disaster victims, and did not even mention this matter to Chen Qi, after all, he was just a disaster victim.

However, when Chen Baocai mentioned that he met Liu Ji and his party on the way, Chen Qi's brows furrowed and asked, "Under my nephew, there are really 6 generals in iron armor?" And among the 6 generals, 5 still have war horses? ”

Chen Baocai nodded and said: "The eldest young master, it is true, and those young masters' generals are absolutely extraordinary in martial arts, and the old slave feels that those few may not be worse than the martial arts of the eldest young master and the second young master." ”

"Where are they now?"

"Just now, the second young master came over and took the young master and his party to the county seat."

"Well, my nephew's mother and the second child are the same mother, and it is normal for the second child to be kind to this nephew, but our Chen family's army is now short of manpower, it is best for the second child to persuade my nephew to put those generals in our Chen family's army, if you really have the ability, even if it is the position of a military marquis, the captain of this school will not be stingy."

Then Chen Qi sighed and said to Chen Baocai: "Thanks to the housekeeper this time, you have recruited so many young and strong men, otherwise it will be difficult to do it next." ”

Chen Baocai hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?" ”

"Wang County ordered all families in Qi County to gather 800 soldiers and horses within seven days and go to Qianzhou in the north to defend the border!" Chen Qi said with a wry smile.

"Garrison! Eldest young master, how can we let the people of Qi County go to the border, the various families in Qi County have formed an army, but it is to prevent the rogues! Chen Baocai was immediately shocked when he heard this, you must know that at this time, going to the four states next to the grassland in the north to carry out border warfare is basically equivalent to going and not returning.

The four states in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, Qianzhou, Pizhou, Qinzhou and Xiangzhou, many areas have become the hunting grounds of the Hu cavalry, and many important towns on the border are almost useless, and even many border towns have fallen into the hands of the nomadic tribes of the grassland.

Chen Qi said helplessly: "This time the border is the will of the imperial court, in order to rebuild the grassland defense line of the Great Jin Dynasty's resistance, each state and county of the Great Jin Dynasty must send troops to the northern states to garrison the border, and our Changping County is assigned the task of sending five hundred troops." Lord Taishou immediately asked the counties to draw lots, but our Qi County was more unlucky, and we could only gather 500 people to send them to the border towns of Qianzhou, and Wang Ji County ordered that in order to prevent any accidents along the way, the number of people at the border of Qianzhou was not enough, so he was ready to send 300 more people. ”

After a pause, Chen Qi then complained: "Now Wang Ji has asked all the families in Qi County to make up 800 people, but the Wang family has not come out with a single soldier, which is really annoying!" What's even more depressing is that Wang Ji said that there are 800 people after all this time, and the person who leads the troops must be a captain, saying that the imperial court also has such regulations, and if there is no captain who is willing to lead the troops to Qianzhou within three days, a lottery will be drawn, and the 19 captains in Qi County now have to draw lots, and whoever draws who leads 800 people to the border of Qianzhou! ”

Chen Baocai said angrily: "Master Da, I knew this earlier, our Chen family wouldn't go to the Wang family's side, isn't this letting people go to Qianzhou to die!" Young Master, how many people does our Chen family have? ”

"In this year, if you don't have some soldiers and horses in your hands, and you can't sleep well, our Chen family leans on the Wang family, and it is also to control an army in order to justifiably! It's useless to say anything else, this time our Chen family has 90 people, if you don't bring back more than 400 young and strong men this time, our Chen family will have to pick out almost half of the people from the previous more than 180 people to go to Qianzhou, these more than 180 people are selected from our Chen family's sidelines, family members and tenants, and they are also the most loyal to our Chen family, so that almost half of the people go to Qianzhou to die in vain, I am really reluctant, now it's okay, I can pick out 90 people from these more than 400 young and strong men. Chen Qi sighed.

Chen Baocai hesitated for a moment and said: "Young Master, there shouldn't be any captain who takes the initiative to go to Qianzhou, if the lottery is ......."

"Phew! Butler, don't curse Young Master Ben, 19 captains, how can Young Master Ben be so unlucky! You hurry up and pick out 90 people from more than 400 young and strong men, so that you can deal with this incident, by the way, remember to pick some people who are physically poor and old, anyway, they are just sent to death. ”

Chen Yan took Liu Ji and them all the way to the county seat of Qi County, and then Chen Yan said hello to the officers and soldiers of the city gate, and Liu Ji and they successfully entered the county seat of Qi County, and even the carriage where the twin sisters Lin Xiya and Lin Xiwen were riding, the officers and soldiers of the city gate did not search, and the face of the second young master of the Chen family was still good in the entire Qi County.

However, after Chen Yan brought Liu Ji and they arrived at the Chen family's ancestral house, they were stopped at the gate by another housekeeper of the Chen family, who said that the master only invited Liu Ji to go in alone.

So the others had to wait outside the gate, while Chen Yan took Liu Ji into the Chen family's ancestral house.

Liu Ji pondered as he walked inside, unable to understand what his grandfather, whom he had never met, meant, did not let his family members and subordinates enter the gate of the Chen family, and only let himself go to see him alone.

Liu Ji followed Chen Yan and the housekeeper around in the Chen family's ancestral mansion and came to the outside of a room, and the housekeeper immediately said: "Second young master, this cousin young master, the master is in the study. ”

Chen Yan walked to the closed door of the study, "Father, the son of the fifth sister's family is here." ”

"Bring him in!" An old voice came from the study.

Liu Ji then followed Chen Yan into the study, and saw an old man with gray hair and beard, sitting behind a bookcase, which should be his grandfather.
