Chao Chong and they stayed at Chai Jin's house that night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the middle of the night, Chao Chong sat by the window, holding a small wine jug and a small wine glass in his hand, admiring the moon while drinking slowly.

Watching the wind gather in front of the court, the clouds roll up in the sky. I don't know how much more can I live like this?

A figure suddenly hung upside down with a golden hook, and his head appeared near the top of Chao Chong's head, and said, "Chao Gongzi is so Yaxing!" ”

Chao Chong seemed to have expected the man to come, and threw the wine jug in his hand upward, and the man took it easily, took two sips and said, "Good wine!" ”

Chao Chong said: "Do you want to go with me to the vast world for a while?" ”

The man turned over and landed lightly, just as Shi Qian chuckled, "What are you going to do there?" ”

Chao Chong said: "Don't pretend to be confused, do you dare to say that when I talked with Chai Daguan in the house during the day, you didn't eavesdrop on the roof?" ”

Shi Qian laughed twice but didn't deny it.

Chao Chong walked back to the room from the window, sat down at the table, and said, "I said that opportunity favors those who are prepared, and you are this kind of person. Your skills are unique in the world, and you should not be limited to being a gentleman. There is a vast world waiting for you! ”

Shi Qian a cat pounced into the house, sat down opposite Chao Chong and said, "What chance?" Is it to go to sea with you to the outer land? ”

Chao Chong said with a serious face: "The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." What a real hero does is to benefit the country and the people, and his name will go down in history. If you have the opportunity, you are willing to be a thief that everyone despises, or a hero that everyone admires! ”

Swordsman? Shi Qian was a little moved in his heart, but he was not confident and said: "What do I have? ”

Chao Chong said: "With your cleverness and agility, listening to the news is like probing for things, the Jurchen tribe compares this kind of person to Hai Dongqing, the Western Xia compares this kind of person to an iron harrier, the Liao State compares this kind of person to an eagle shooter, and our Great Song Dynasty calls this kind of person a scout!" Your talents should not be used in the civilian, the military battlefield is where you should go! ”

Shi Qian said unhappily in his heart: "Do you want to be that thief with an army?" Even though I'm a thief, I'm still a lot better than that thief, right? ”

In addition to the elite forbidden army, most of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were born with assassins, or hooligans and lazy people who could not make a living before enlisting in the army.

Moreover, the status of the military is very low, and as soon as they enlist, they have to leave a mark on their bodies, and most of them are on their faces, like animals to be sold.

And most of the military officials in the DPRK and China are not from military backgrounds.

For example, Gao Yu, he is a close confidant of the emperor and was born in football. For example, Tong Guan, he is a prisoner in the army and a eunuch.

For example, Hu Yanzhuo, the commander of the forbidden army, and the founding family of the country. For example, Xuanzan, born in martial arts.

So none of them had a gold seal on their faces. But those who have risen step by step from the grassroots ranks cannot erase the things on their faces.

Di Qing, the general who was born in the military and was promoted step by step to the privy envoy, also has a big mark on his face, which can never be erased, and has always been criticized by literati.

Therefore, Shi Qian would rather be a thief than a more lowly soldier.

Chao Chong said: "Do you know what Hai Dongqing, Iron Harrier, and Condor Shooter represent? Let me tell you, in their country, it represents strength and wisdom, glory and aura, and the yearning of all men! Only when you get there, will you discover how valuable your skills are! ”

Will it? Shi Qian has never dealt with foreign clans, and he doesn't know how valuable his skills are, but if he really does what Chao Chong said, wouldn't he be able to make a big difference? It's all too easy to listen to the news.

Chao Chong patted Shi Qian's thin shoulder with one hand and said, "You have a power beyond the ordinary, can you lend me a helping hand?" ”

Shi Qian was excited, no one had ever valued himself so much, although the other party was just a young man with no reputation!

Isn't this the case when a man dies for his confidant?

Shi Qian tried hard to suppress his excitement, and after calming down his emotions, he smiled: "Will you die?" ”

Chao Chong nodded secretly, Shi Qian had a strong control over his emotions, which was also the psychological quality that an excellent scout should have.

Chao Chong said: "Yes!" But I can assure you that in battle, I will stand before you; I will stand behind you in retreat; After you die in battle, I will transport your bones back home. ”

Shi Qian had actually agreed with Chao Chong's suggestion in his heart, so he returned to his hippie smile and said, "What if you die?" ”

Chao Chong smiled: "Unless the world is turned upside down and the sun and moon are gone, I will not die!" ”

Who can not die?

Seeing Chao Chong's self-confidence for no reason, Shi Qian unconsciously felt a sense of security and trust in his heart, and couldn't help laughing, and he didn't know whether to laugh at Chao Chong's blind confidence, or to be happy that he had found a partner he could rely on.

Chao Chong also smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome to join!" ”

Shi Qian had never seen the etiquette of shaking hands, but he did not hesitate, and also stretched out his hand, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.

The next day, Chai Jin summoned the Zhuangke in the name of escorting him to the sea to do business, and asked who was willing to go with him, although he had already raised thirty taels of silver, but no one answered, although Cangzhou was close to the sea, but the Zhuangke who lived comfortably was unwilling to take any more risks. Chai Jin looked at Chao Chong a little helplessly, feeling a little unbearable on his face.

Chao Chong said: "Don't be reluctant, everyone has their own ambitions." ”

Finally, the personnel were counted, Chao Chong, Lei Ting, Chao Yang, Chao Sheng, Wu Song, Wu Da, Shi Qian, Shen Tulie, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi. There were eleven people in total.

Chai Jin dismissed the villagers, and was about to find a tailor to measure the height, shortness, fat and thinness of the crowd so that he could make a new set of clothes, when a big man with a sallow face swayed out of the backyard, leaned against the wall, and said weakly: "If you go to sea, but there are thirty taels of silver to raise?" ”

Chao Chong was curious: "Who is this?" ”

Chai Jin explained: "This person's name is Dongfang Xiao, he came to my manor a year ago to take refuge, and he doesn't have much ability, but he has more strength, and he usually helps the servants of the family to load and unload goods, and one person can use it for five people." Some time ago, he was sick and has been weak, so he was not notified of this time when he went to sea to select Zhuangke. ”

Chao Chong glanced at him

Health: 1700/2900 (Moderate Leprosy)

Commander-in-Chief: 53/87

Force: 78/96

Intelligence: 43/65

Trait: Tiger Courage (Like a tiger roaring, fierce and fierce.) ）

Wu Song said beside him: "I have heard of this person, who came half a year earlier than me, has infinite strength, but is willing to be lowly, always with miscellaneous laborers and farmers, and does some coolie man. It is said that a person once carried a beam on the house, and later everyone nearby asked him to help, but since he was sick, no one came to visit, which was very pitiful! ”

Chao Chong saw the yellow-faced man named Dongfang Xiao, holding on to the wall with difficulty, but his eyes were very firm, so he said to Chai Jin: "Count him in!" Help him buy a suit of armor and clothes, too. ”

Chai Jin is not a verbose person, and seeing that Chao Chong agreed, he nodded and said, "I will ask the doctor to use the best medicine to recover him as soon as possible!" ”

Chao Chong hugged Chai Jin and said, "There is Uncle Lao Shi." He said to Wu Song again: "Send Brother Dongfang to the room to rest." ”

Dongfang Xiao, the yellow-faced man, struggled to clench his fists and said, "Thank you!" Wu Song and he knew him, so he helped him to rest, Dongfang Xiao hesitated, as if he had something to say, Chao Chong suddenly asked, "What weapon does Brother Dongfang use?" ”

Dongfang Xiao paused for a moment and said, "A tiger-tail iron square beam with a length of two feet." ”

Chao Chong comforted: "Recuperate with peace of mind!" You will be notified when you go. ”

Dongfang Xiao finally gritted his teeth, bowed his head and arched his hand: "I don't know... Can the thirty taels of silver be raised? Can it be released to me in advance? ”

Chai Jin couldn't help frowning, this person is too unknowing, it is not certain whether such a sick body can go to sea, and he even wants to get the silver in advance?

Wu Song held Dongfang Xiao's hand and couldn't help but shake his head at him secretly, reminding him not to go too far.

Chao Chong smiled, disappreciated, took out the money bag from his arms, walked a few steps closer, and offered it with both hands: "There are still dozens of taels of silver in the bag, it should be enough, you take it first." ”

Dongfang Xiao still bowed his head and said: "Gongzi Xie is kind, only thirty taels is enough!" ”

Chao Chong smiled slightly, carefully picked out thirty taels of silver from the money bag, held it and handed it to him, and said, "Thirty taels of silver, no more, no less." ”

Dongfang Xiao lowered his head and raised his head, looked at Chao Chong with some surprise, and said, "Are you going to give me the silver without asking the reason?" ”

Chao Chong's face was solemn and said: "When a hero has to bend down for silver, how can I bear to continue to trample on his dignity!" ”

Dongfang Xiao's face turned pale, took the silver, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you!" ”

Chao Chong said to Wu Song: "Send him back to recuperate with peace of mind." ”

When Wu Song sent the yellow-faced man Dongfang Xiao away, Lei Ting couldn't help but say, "Why should the eldest brother treat such a person with courtesy? If you are sick, you will not do anything along the way! ”

Chao Chong smiled, hammered a punch on Thunder's broad chest, and said, "With your strength, can you lift the main beam of a house?" ”

The main beams of the house are at least three feet in diameter, and they are made of thirty-year-old trees with a length of four feet, and they weigh no less than 1,500 pounds. The work of the main beam is generally done by more than a dozen young juniors! ”

Chao Chong said: "There are very few people with divine powers, and even fewer can control themselves and act in a low-key manner, this kind of people often have a stronger self-esteem than ordinary people, they would rather be coolies than accept alms from others, so when he bows his head and bends down to pray, it means that he really encounters unsolvable difficulties, why not help him?" ”

When Lei Ting heard Chao Chong's explanation, he suddenly realized, touched his head embarrassedly and said, "It's still big brother careful, I can't think of this." ”

Chai Jin also sighed: "He lives in my village, but I can't find out his difficulties in time, I'm really ashamed." ”

Chao Chong said: "Why is Uncle Shi like this, you are concerned about the entire family, and the details should be the next person to pick up the omissions for you." ”

Chai Jin smiled and was no longer entangled, and was busy preparing the equipment for Chao Chong's long journey.
