More people poured towards the four gates of the city, east, west, north and south.

In less than two tea times, Qiuqiu came back, poked the wooden stake to the ground, stood there without blushing and panting, and asked cautiously: "Master Jun, I, am I qualified?" ”

"Qualified, if you don't qualify, then you won't be qualified!" That Xiaoqi was the first to recruit a strange person, and he was also happy in his heart, and he said in his heart that we would show his face at this time, and laughed: "Name, age, household registration, family background, after making it clear, you are our Wu Yijun." ”

It turned out that Qiuqiu was a native of Yangxin County, with hundreds of acres of land at home, more than a dozen tenant farmers, and a garment shop in the city, which could be regarded as a very prosperous life. Qiuqiu loves to eat since he was a child.,The longer it grows, the fatter it gets.,Far more than the same people.。 His real surname is Liu, and his name is a nickname, so it is logical that he has become the nickname Liu Qiuqiu. Later, the white-robed army rebelled, and his parents died at the hands of the rebels, leaving him alone. Because he didn't know how to operate, he was really honest, the shop also went out of business, and the land was also seized by the clansmen, so he had no choice but to join the army.

Listening to his words, everyone was also embarrassed.

After the registration was completed, the little flag took a silver ingot, weighed three taels of broken silver, put it in his fat hand, and said with a smile: "Qiuqiu, you will be our Wu Yijun's person in the future!" ”

Qiuqiu took the silver and smiled embarrassedly: "Master Jun, when are you going to eat?" I'm hungry......"

Everyone was speechless, how long had it been since breakfast?

Liu Kui successfully set up a case, standing there with the silver in his hand and smirking, he was a living model, attracting many young men to join the army.

For a time, the gate of Yangxin County was crowded with people, I don't know how many people were waiting to measure their height and move wooden stakes to join the army, Wu Yijun had already prepared, took out a number of wooden stakes prepared, and was accompanied by soldiers to measure, and the progress was also very fast.

Lijin County, close to the Yellow River, there is a Wanghai Building, the building is five stories high, more than eight zhang high, it is also a high-rise building in the six counties of northern Lubei, and it is the first largest restaurant in the out-and-out way.

It had just been sunny for a long time, but at this time, the sky was covered with black and oppressive clouds, and scattered light snow began to fall.

But the light snow did not hinder the business of Wanghailou at all, Wanghailou is close to the Yellow River, the cliff bank is steep dozens of meters below, the Yellow River in the Ming Season, in this place close to the mouth of the sea, is more than 50 miles wide and mighty, and you can't see the edge at a glance. The Yellow River has been frozen, the river is white and clean, drink with three or five confidants in the window, enjoy the snow scene of the Yellow River, watch the snow drifting for thousands of miles, a feeling of loneliness is the origin of the heart, it is the favorite tune of the literati.

But before that, there were already a lot of guests in the building, and it was very lively.

At this time, two people came in at the door, these two people looked like they were in their thirties, they were all talents, with beautiful beards, each wearing a deep coat and a square hat. Xiao Er's eyes are so poisonous, at a glance, he can see that these two have an elegant temperament but reveal three points of majesty, they must have an identity, they don't look like rich businessmen and rich people, eighty percent are meritorious scholars, and they are not showmen, so they have to be a move! Not to mention that although the carriage parked outside is inconspicuous, the big man who drives the carriage is powerful, and the one who pulls the carriage is also a horse, so ordinary people can have this posture?

Xiao Er greeted him with a towel handle, and his face was full of smiles: "Second master, please inside, please inside, the little one said why the magpie outside just now called vigorously, it turned out that you two were coming." There is also a private room near the window, which is reserved for the two of you! ”

This little two spoke pleasantly, and the slightly shorter scribe on the left smiled faintly: "First hit two hot towels to wipe your face, first burn a golden carp for us, sauce a sweet and sour fish, and then pick up your store's signature dishes to make a few, on three taels of Yellow River old roast, by the way, cut three catties of beef for the master outside, remember, to drizzle sesame oil." Get some soybeans and eggs seized, feed us the horses, you can't be short. ”

After that, a few pieces of broken silver fell into the little second-hand.

Xiao Er knew that five taels were counted upwards as soon as he started, and he was overjoyed, and the smile on his face became even thicker, and he raised his thumb: "Master, when I hear you, you know how to do it!" You can rest assured, I won't be able to snub you! We have just broken the ice and fished up a big golden carp in our store, which is prepared for you. ”

He quickly recited what the scribe had just said, shouted, and said, "You two, please." ”

The scribe on the right with the three long beards did not say a word.

The two went upstairs and entered the private room, Xiao Er opened the window, the outside was frozen, and the open scene of thousands of miles of snow drifting was rushing towards him, and his heart and lungs were full of inhaling a big breath of cool air, and he immediately felt refreshed, as if he had been splashed with a basin of ice water from head to toe.

When the little second servant served the tea, he carefully closed the door and retreated, and the scribe who had not spoken before smiled and said, "I didn't expect the military advisor to be so familiar with this place, and he has been here before?" ”

Needless to say, the two of them are naturally Qi Jiguang and Zhang Geng, but I don't know why they came here when they should be far away in Taihang, Shanxi at this time.

Qi Jiguang carefully tore off the beautiful beard on his chin, it turned out that his beard was glued to it, he wiped his face with a steaming towel, and after the water stains were dry, he put his beard on again, and said with a smile: "When I was away from all over Shandong, I came once." This place is close to the Yellow River, every winter, then dig out the ice hole in the lake, salvage the carp, because it is winter, do not see the sun, plus the growth of an autumn and winter, the carp in this river is extremely fat, the meat is delicious no matter what, it is the signature dish of this Wanghailou, and the big leader will have to taste it later. ”

"I have eaten bran vegetables on Taihang Mountain for so long, and it is rare to go down the mountain once, so I have to treat my stomach and intestines well." Zhang Geng smiled in a low voice, also tore off the beard sticking to his face, and cleaned his face with a towel.

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Although this White Lotus Sect doesn't have any big skills, there are a lot of small tricks, just like this disguise technique, who would have thought that if you put something on your face and stick a beard, you will be a different person." We came all the way south from Bauhinia Pass, and many states and counties have posted our portrait notices, hey, none of them recognize it. ”

Although he listened to it praising the White Lotus Sect, the sarcasm in his words was extremely obvious.

Zhang Geng glanced downstairs, the coachman was sitting upright, holding a jar of Yellow River old burnt in his left hand, and the right hand was wrapped in oiled paper, drizzled with sesame oil and sesame sauce, and poured garlic, the coachman drank a big sip of wine, ate a large piece of meat, and ate very sweet.

Seeing that the coachman didn't seem to hear anything, Zhang Geng turned around and said in a low voice: "Strategist, silence!" We are now under the fence, not as good as at the beginning, this Lao Li is the person of Yang Zuo's envoy, who doesn't know that he is here to spy on us? If you let them know about such things, it will be another storm. ”

Qi Jiguang listened, sighed, and had to smile bitterly.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness and bitterness in each other's eyes.

No one would have thought that after going up to Taihang Mountain, they would fall into such a field step by step!

Originally, before they went up the mountain, they had already made a lot of preparations, such as the White Lotus Sect's encroachment on their own strength, infiltration, and so on, and even the rhetoric of the White Lotus Sect when it was too ugly.

But what they never expected was that the White Lotus Sect didn't look down on their strength at all! It wasn't until they entered the Taihang Mountain and the fertile valley in the mountains that they knew that the original White Lotus Sect had accumulated such a huge and strong strength after decades of recuperation, ten years of lessons, and ten years of livelihood.

In the words of that Yang Zuo's envoy, if the 10,000 soldiers are here, this seat is still a little interested, and now you are not enough.

The white-robed army in Taihang had no women, no houses, no clothes, and even food, and at this time, the high-level of the White Lotus Sect didn't pay attention to them at all, and gave them a small hill to fend for themselves, so their only choice was to take refuge in a high-ranking person in the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, these 1,000 people would have to starve to death on Taihang Mountain.

Wise people like Qi Jiguang, Zhang Geng and others will naturally make a choice.

But their hearts are extremely tormented and painful, think about the white-robed army that once crisscrossed northern Lubei and dominated the storm, and now they are actually being lackeys for a group of cult bandits, how can it not be extremely humiliating?

Qi Jiguang saw the look on Zhang Geng's face, and he couldn't bear it, but instead comforted Zhang Genglai, and said: "Although we are now a phoenix with lost hair and are not as good as chickens, but these White Lotus Sects still have a place to use us, and I don't know what phlegm they have sent this time, I have to come here for the New Year, but after all, it is an opportunity for us." Make good use of it, and win the trust of the Yang Zuo envoy, and the banner of our white-robed army will be able to play again after all! ”

Zhang Geng sighed, his face gloomy, but he could only nod after all.

After a while, the meal came up, and the carp was so fragrant that the meat was soft and melted in your mouth. The amber Yellow River is sweet and soft in the mouth, but when swallowed, it is like a line of fire, spreading from the throat to the stomach, burning people hot, and it really lives up to the name of the old burn. Both of them are Shandong men, and they are also soldiers, drinking wine and eating meat, and watching the snow scene, which is also very refreshing.

After three rounds of drinking, there was a sudden sound of chaos below, and the two of them followed the sound and looked down, and they saw three or five sturdy men, each of whom carried a wooden stake the thickness of a sea bowl on his shoulder, and was walking towards this side, and it could be seen that the weight of this pile was not light, and there were already two of them whose faces were flushed, and they obviously couldn't hold on. And next to each of them, there was a soldier who followed.

As soon as they saw these soldiers dressed as Wu Yijun, Zhang Geng's two bodies immediately tightened, thinking that their whereabouts were revealed, and their hands were already touching the sharp blades on their chests. But after thinking about it, if it was really Wu Yijun who came to arrest him, how could there be so many people.

When they looked at each other, they all felt that they were a little frightened, so they settled down and looked down.

At this time, there were already two men who couldn't hold it anymore, their foreheads were bruised, their faces were flushed, and it was a cold day, but the beads of sweat were constantly falling. The Wu Yijun soldier next to him hurriedly asked him to put the stake down, and then sat aside to rest. Although the man had rested, his face was full of frustration, knowing that he was out of play.

This is naturally Wu Yijun doing a recruitment test, and the test at the south gate of Lijin County is to walk to Wanghailou two miles away from the south gate with a wooden stake, and then walk back.

Zhang Geng and the two monks were puzzled, and they recruited Xiao Er to find out the clue, it turned out that Wu Yijun was recruiting troops here.

Think about how many sons and daughters rose up from this place at the beginning, but now, they have all become soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Xiao Er was foaming at the mouth there, but the two of them were even more bitter in their hearts, and they really didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that they would cry out......
