Chapter 153: Leapfrogging
Zhou Panlong felt Gao Yue's sincerity, and was a little moved in his heart, so he responded and sat down. Unexpectedly, he sat down very violently, and the wooden bench was already a little loose, and suddenly he couldn't bear the strength, and made a painful rattling sound, and was violently shaken. Zhou Panlong put all his energy on responding to Gao Yue's questioning at any time, and he didn't take precautions, as the wooden bench tilted, he stumbled, and with a sigh in his mouth, he was about to plant a servant on the ground.
He reacted very quickly, hurriedly stretched out his arm to support the ground, and with the help of the force of the reverse thrust, the whole person bounced back, and quickly stood up cleanly. Although he didn't fall, Zhou Panlong felt extremely annoyed because he had made a fool of himself in front of Gao Yue and Han Yang, and his face was similar to the pig's liver, and he looked around in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
"Good! This reaction and skill are indeed worthy of the name of personal guard. He's a good man! ”
But Han Yong had already praised loudly. Martial artists, as long as they are not a very small number of narrow-minded and low moral character, most of them will envy and praise others when they see others, and they will unconsciously want to be closer and closer. On the other side, Yang Ke was sitting upright, with his hands on his chest, and he was also looking at Zhou Panlong, nodding with a smile.
Gao Yue called the guards over and slapped the table in disgust, "How is this done?" If you make any mistakes, go quickly, pick up the sturdy one and bring another one! ”
Zhou Panlong hurriedly said: "The lord's heart of love, his subordinates are grateful. The subordinates didn't want to sit, so they would rather stand and listen to the lord's questioning, and ask the lord for permission. ”
Forcing him to sit is really a bit cramping. Gao Yue nodded, "Okay." Then he changed the topic and said, "Zhou Panlong, how old are you this year?" ”
"Hui Lord, my subordinate is twenty-five years old this year."
"Hmm. I don't look at your face, it doesn't look like you're old, but why are you full of white hair? ”
Zhou Panlong had been asked this question countless times, and immediately opened his mouth and said: "Lord, my subordinates are born with white hair. When I was a teenager, my head was a lot whiter, but after I was twenty, it was half black and white, and now, I can't find black hair anymore. He laughed at himself again, "My mother blames me for being anxious, and even when it comes to getting old, I have to be three points more anxious than ordinary people, but in fact, I am really not an acute child." ”
Gao Yue laughed. He has also heard that there are indeed many people who have juvenile white, but they are as white as Zhou Panlong, which is relatively rare.
Yang Ke smiled: "The most important thing for a man is the character of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and the lofty ambition to save the country and the world." The slight difference in image is nothing at all, and you don't need to mind. ”
These words caused Gao Yue and Han Yong to keep nodding yes. Zhou Panlong's somewhat cramped face also squeezed out a smile, and said to Yang Ke: "Thank you Yang Changshi for your teachings." But when I was young, I used to feel sorry for this gray hair, but now it's no longer a good thing, and I don't mind it. ”
Gao Yue hummed and asked again, "Zhou Panlong, when did you join our army, and when were you selected for my personal army?" ”
"Back to the lord. The subordinate was originally from Saibei, at the beginning of this year, the old lady passed away, I didn't want to stay at home anymore, so I went south, just met our Xiangwu City recruiting soldiers, so I joined the army, because I can fight more than ordinary people, the Li team leader of the pro-army team looked at me, picked me in, and took care of me very much. ”
Saying this, Zhou Panlong's face became gloomy, "It's a pity that Team Master Li died that night, he is really a good man." ”
When Gao Yue heard this, he was also a little sad: "Yes." Team Master Li threw himself in front of me and blocked Chen An's killing knife for me before he died. When I think of him, I feel very guilty. ”
Han Yong hurriedly said: "Don't think like this, lord. The lord treats my subordinates with sincerity and kindness, and there is never anything domineering, so the big guy is willing to follow the lord. Team Leader Li and other brothers died in battle, and the lord also treated the relatives of the fallen soldiers kindly, but this account should be counted on the head of Chen An's thief, and even Shangtai's side can't get rid of it, so why should the lord feel guilty? ”
Zhou Panlong clenched his fists, raised his head and said loudly: "If I meet that thief surnamed Chen again in the future, I will definitely fight him to the death!" The upper part removes the scourge for the lord, and the lower one takes revenge for the brothers such as Team Leader Li! ”
"You've got this ambition, it's good. I ask you, can you ride a horse? ”
Gao Yue suddenly asked without a head.
Zhou Panlong was inexplicable, but immediately responded: "My subordinates are from Saibei, how can they not ride horses!" ”
Gao Yue nodded, stared at him for a moment, and slowly spoke: "I have an idea, I have already told General Han and Yang Changshi just now, and it will be officially implemented, and I will tell you again now." ”
Although Zhou Panlong didn't know what Gao Yue was going to say, looking at the faces of a few people, he knew that it was not an idle matter, and he was afraid that he was very powerful, so he hurriedly straightened his body and erected his ears to carefully capture the words in Gao Yue's mouth.
"I have ordered that among all the soldiers and soldiers of our army, five thousand sharp soldiers shall be selected for the first time, and then one thousand elites shall be carefully selected from these five thousand men, all of whom shall be fierce and skillful in foot, so as to form a special cavalry army. This army, all equipped with Yanqi horses, Xiliang horses and Qinghai Cheng and other top war horses, priority equipment is first-class fine armor and weapons, and I personally command and be responsible for daily training, usually as my escort pro-army, wartime by me to command the charge, in the face of the enemy to destroy the front, in order to achieve a surprise victory, the effect of attacking everything. ”
Zhou Panlong listened quietly, but he was a little dazed in his heart. This military aircraft is a major event, if it is good, it is good, but what does it have to do with him, is it possible, is it possible that this top decision-maker still wants to ask for his opinion?
Gao Yue stood up, strode in front of Zhou Panlong, and found that Zhou Panlong was only taller than him, Gao Yue patted Zhou Panlong's shoulder with satisfaction, stared at Zhou Panlong's somewhat confused eyes tightly, and said: "The commander of this elite army, also known as the commander, is the same as the internal government, maintains an independent structure, is directly responsible for me, and the top boss is me." With that, Gao Yue turned around and returned to the main seat in a few steps and sat down, the faint smile on his face had disappeared, and his eyes had become sharp.
"Zhou Panlong listens to orders!"
Han Yong and Yang Ke on both sides actually stood up at the same time, with serious expressions. Zhou Panlong only felt tight, and didn't dare to think about it, so he immediately straightened his chest and responded loudly: "My subordinates are here!" ”
"I now order you to be the commander of the newly established Special Cavalry Army, and you will be immediately promoted to the rank of captain of the Election Front."
Gao Yue had repeatedly discussed with Han Yong and Yang Ke. At the critical moment of the night, Zhou Panlong risked death to protect the indomitable and loyalty; To be able to fight with Chen An for a long time is to be brave. In addition, many of the soldiers died in the battle that night, and most of the wounded did not survive. Zhou Panlong was also seriously injured, not only did he not die, but he was basically healed in this short period of time, which shows that his physical fitness is indeed beyond ordinary people, Zhou Panlong is indeed the elite among people, and has been unanimously affirmed by the three of them. In the end, Gao Yue made a decision, and now when employing people, when it is time to make an exception for promotion, you can't follow the rules and bury talents.
Hearing Gao Yue's words at the moment, Zhou Panlong was unexpected, so dumbfounded that he forgot to reply. He used to be just a vagabond, but to put it nicely, he was an outcast. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, a large number of people were forced to become homeless, consciously or unconsciously, they were involved in the turbulent era.
Zhou Panlong left his hometown at the beginning of the year, wandering all the way, encountering bandits, rebels, and rebels, with his extraordinary quality, he survived, but also thought that in the long run, there will always be a day when he fills in the ravine. Just when he came to Xiangwu City, he caught up with the expansion of the Longxi Army, so he threw himself in, and then, he was favored by the former Li team master and selected into the pro-soldier team.
In general, half a year ago, Zhou Panlong was just one of the hundreds of millions of homeless people, and he belonged to the most ordinary people who died and no one even knew their names. After joining the Longxi Army, the quality of life was guaranteed, but he was just an ordinary soldier, and finally a month ago, he was appointed by Team Director Li to be the chief, which was his biggest official position so far.
Originally, he was already very happy, and felt that it was a difference compared to before. But when he heard that he had been a young man and had been promoted directly to the rank of captain, this great contrast made him even buzz in his ears, and he couldn't speak for a while. It's not a quantitative change, it's a qualitative change.
Han Yong saw his shape on the side, and knew that he was a little overstimulated, so he deliberately elongated his voice and said, "Why, Captain Zhou doesn't dare to take on this important task?" ”
Zhou Panlong fell to his knees, knocked down his head, choked up and said excitedly: "The lord actually values it so much...... subordinates, there is nothing else to say, from now on, I am willing to die for the Lord! ”
Gao Yue bowed his head and said: "I really value and trust you, you must not let me down." Arise. After listening to me, I originally planned to name this army the Beiwei Army, but I was very touched when I heard you say 'never die', so I changed my mind now. ”
Zhou Panlong raised his head and said in a daze: "Back Wei, what do you mean?" ”
"You don't have to ask about that." Gao Yue's eyes were deep and flying, and he said word by word: "You just need to know that this army will be called the 'Death Seeking Army' from now on." ”
