Chapter 8 Loyalty to the Country
Lin Fan took a look in front, and sure enough, there was a mountain peak blocked in front, and the carriage couldn't go up, and he couldn't go over on horseback, so he could only climb it on foot.
Lin Fan wanted to scold Boss Li at the moment, this is too tricky, saying that there is a carriage for you to sit, but it only allows you to sit for a while, this is not far from Chang'an, and the validity period of this privilege is too short.
I hate to see Niu Zhongren's gloating appearance, looking at the mountain peak in front of him, observing that there is no other way to go around, no wonder I felt wrong when I turned into this road before, there were obviously a lot fewer ruts, and there were more weeds, it turned out to be a dead road, and the carriage must not be able to pass.
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Fan had no choice but to get out of the carriage, Shan Xiong got out of the carriage indifferently, compared to Lin Fan's bitter face, he seemed much calmer.
The carriage was driven back by the coachman, and Li Jing had also dismounted, he came to Lin Fan's side, and wanted to explain to him that the emperor's privileges had ended, and he would be treated the same as everyone else, without any special treatment, but when he saw Lin Fan's somewhat weak legs, his face sank, and his anger came up.
"There is no interest at all, I have not started to climb my legs and become weak, so weak and weak, there are still women who have no eyes on you, I think that when I was so old when I carried a hundred pounds to Mount Tai, you have no luggage on you now, just a small bag of things and your guards to carry you, what kind of softness are you, Xiaofan, Xiaofan, you are really embarrassed by our man's face!" was covered by Li Jing with the back of his head, Lin Fan put away his legs playing the pipa, and stood up a little straighter, but he could still feel the trembling of his legs.
Li Jing pointed to Niu Zhongren and said to Lin Fan: "Look at Zhongren, although he is ugly, he is not so cowardly as you, look at it, he still has a big bag on his back and doesn't even complain."
Niu Zhongren didn't know whether to be happy or not, this sound like a compliment, but how could it sound like something else.
After Li Jing finished teaching a lesson, Lin Fan asked with a smile: "Li Gong has this kind of demeanor when he is twenty years old, he must be more powerful now, so how many catties can he carry now?"
Li Jinghu glanced at Lin Fan suspiciously, he knew something about this kid, he must have a ghost in his heart with such a face, but Li Jing was not worried about what tricks Lin Fan could play, he raised his head and replied: "Although I am over half a hundred years old, my energy cannot be compared with when I was young, but it is no problem to carry another one hundred and fifty catties, and the most I carried when I was young was two hundred catties."
"Two hundred catties, Li Gong is really powerful, the kid is afraid that he can't carry twenty catties, the sword is not old, Li Gong, and now he can carry one hundred and fifty catties to climb this giant peak, the kid admires it so much that he throws himself to the ground, if the kid has half of Li Gong, thank God." Lin Fan deliberately looked at Li Jing in surprise and lifted Li Jing to the sky.
Before Li Jing could ask Lin Fan what his purpose was for holding himself like this, Lin Fan turned to the three thousand soldiers who were carrying military supplies behind him and said loudly: "Everyone also heard General Li's words just now, our General Li's sword is not old, and now he can still carry one hundred and fifty catties to this peak, now do you want to see our great General Li show us a hand, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must have never seen your general show his hand in the past, do you really want to see your general's true skills?"
The morale of the soldiers is easy to be brought up, especially this kind of very interesting thing, as soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, more than 3,000 soldiers cheered, everyone was very excited, with a smile of expectation on their faces, and everyone's eyes were on their general Li Jing.
Li Jing wanted to beat Lin Fan hard, but this stinky boy actually dared to play Lao Tzu, a sentence of his grandmother's just scolded it, but Lin Fan smiled and said first: "Li Gong, everyone wants to see your heroic appearance, I think Li Gong will not disappoint everyone, you look at everyone's face with a smile full of expectation, if Li Gong does not show his hand, then Li Gong may be difficult to raise his head in front of more than 3,000 brothers, not to mention that adding this episode can also make everyone pay attention to Li Gong, so they forget the weight on their shoulders, This is a good thing for them, otherwise it will not be easy to carry such heavy supplies to the peak. What does Li Gong think? β
"General Lee, come on!"
"Come on General Li, come on General Liγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Under Lin Fan's encouragement, Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren took the lead in coaxing, and then most of the people followed suit, especially the six hundred special forces, who were educated differently from other soldiers, and they were with Lao Cheng and Lao Niu all day long, and they were not a little afraid of their commanders like other soldiers.
Before Li Jing could speak, nearly 3,000 soldiers shouted in unison, not giving Li Jing the slightest chance to refuse.
Looking at the cheers of more than 3,000 brothers, Li Jing only felt that his blood was boiling, as if he had returned to the time when he was young and when he was in high spirits, he was going to refuse, he was going to beat Lin Fan hard, and he was going to beat Lin Fan up and scolding him.
"Okay, back! Lao Tzu will show his brothers a hand today! β
Li Jing shouted wildly and waved his hand at the two nearest soldiers, meaning that they should take down the military supplies on their shoulders and carry them for him, when the two soldiers were about to untie the supplies, Lin Fan came to Li Jing and grinned: "Li Gong doesn't have to be like this, the kid is only about one hundred and ten pounds, Li Gong will carry the kid, the kid is lighter and easy to carry, and the kid will hold Li Gong tightly and won't dangle it to carry it more easily, kid"
"You stinky boy, it turned out that the circle was spared all for yourself, but today you re-energized Lao Tzu's many years of enthusiasm to make Lao Tzu seem to have returned to his youth, Lao Tzu is happy, okay, just carry you, carry you the same, come!" Li Jing laughed and picked up Lin Fan, who was not ready, lying crookedly on Li Jing's back and not feeling a sense of security, so he moved vigorously for a long time before taking a comfortable position.
Li Jing walked briskly, Lin Fan just turned around from an uncomfortable posture, and found that Niu Zhongren, Xue Rengui, and other soldiers had just started fifty meters away, Li Jing was so excited, could this be the power of blood?
Just when Lin Fan and more than 3,000 others were climbing the peak, three people walked out of the jungle not far from the foot of the mountain.
The old man in the black robe squinted his eyes and stared at the black oppressive crowd for a long time before he said to the black-clothed man closest to him: "Second brother, look at the origin of the big man and the young man on his back, they are so excited, is the war going again, it seems that we have lived in our hometown for a long time, and many things in the world are not clear, if it weren't for Xiaoren telling us the outside world in the letter, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to speak Chang'an, huh?" Why didn't Xiaoren say that there was a war, he hadn't written to us for months, could it be that the war had only started recently? Look at that young boy, it's very special, could it be the boy Xiaoren said? β
The sturdy man in black looked at the dangerous peak not far away, and a group of people with large bags and small bags were trying to climb up the dangerous peak, before he saw a big man with a tiger's back and a young boy on his back, everyone had something on their shoulders, but this young man was empty, could it be that this young man had something wrong with his hands and feet?
The man thought so at first, but after a closer look, he found that there was no problem with the young man's hands and feet, his feet were swaying and leisurely, one hand was on the shoulder of the big man in armor, and the other hand waved to the soldiers behind him who were also wearing armor from time to time, although he couldn't hear what he was talking about, but from the smile on his face, it was certain that he was not only excited, but also a little proud, otherwise why was the ugly young man who saw his face full of envy, jealousy and hatred in his eyes? There was a cold wind over there, and there was an intermittent singing voice in the cold wind, looking at the young man's shaking his head, this song must be his masterpiece, who is this young man, is it really the young man as Xiaoren said?
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Li Jing's army, the ****** we heard at the inn two days ago, General Li Jing and the like, left in a hurry and didn't know what it meant, and now it seems that the Tang army is going to attack ******."
The black-robed old man nodded and said, "We don't care how Tang Jun and ****** fight each other, we don't help anyone, we don't care about anyone, our family has always only done things that are beneficial and meaningful to us, who is that young man?"
"I don't know, Xiao Ren didn't clarify the characteristics of the young man in the letter, but from the young man's approach, he is somewhat similar to the young man, and he can lie on General Li Jing's shoulder so boldly, if it is not his son, I am afraid that only the young man can do it."
The black-robed old man took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the young man in front of him is the person Xiao Ren said."
"We were born to join him this time, and now that he is in front of us, let's go straight over?"
The old man smiled and shook his head: "We are a mysterious family, since we have endured it for so long, we are still in a hurry for this time?" We have always been mysterious, so we should be more mysterious when we defect to him, so as to show that the power of our family is still strong. β
"What do we do now?"
"Change the plan, don't go to Chang'an, stare at him secretly, give him some surprises from time to time, make him interested in us, let him admire us, and then we will have more confidence when we stand in front of him in the future."
"Then we'll march with the summit too?"
The old man slapped the man and scolded, "Then you think you can keep an eye on his every move by standing here?"
The black-robed old man turned to the black-clothed man who had been silent again: "Yan Tong, don't look at it, let me ask you, where is Lao Mo recently?"
"Who knows, he's always been more mysterious, how can you find him, what's wrong, what are you looking for him?"
The old man smiled and said: "There are some things that we can't come forward, just let him do it for you, we are not willing to be mediocre, Lao Mo is even more unwilling to be inferior to others, I think he also wants to know like us if this young man is so amazing You tell him about it, he must be very interested, even if we don't let him come forward, he will take the initiative to find the young man, alas"
The old man looked up to the sky and sighed: "Who wants to be inferior to others, especially a big family like us, I really want to see with my own eyes whether that young man is as amazing and capable as Xiaoren said."
The three of them disappeared into the jungle again, and slowly touched in the direction of the army, and almost at this time, there was also a white horse outside Chang'an that was galloping hard, and a man dressed as a servant was sitting on it, his direction was not the direction of Li Jing's march, but to the south, and I don't know whose news he was going to send to the south
"Come on, everyone, it's already halfway up the mountain, and if you hold on for a while, you'll reach the top." Lin Fan lay on Li Jing's back and cheered up the more than 3,000 soldiers behind him, at this time, the soldiers no longer had the same strength as when they first climbed, everyone was sweating and panting, now they had no intention of listening to Lin Fan's nonsense, and now when they saw Lin Fan's happy smiling face, they had the urge to rush up and punch him, isn't it obvious that standing and talking doesn't hurt in the back.
didn't receive the initial response, only a vicious and hateful gaze, but Lin Fan was still happy, humming pop songs that others couldn't understand, entertaining himself!
Niu Zhongren hated to hear Lin Fan's voice, although he sang well, but at this time, he sounded proud, angry, but he didn't dare to be angry, this guy has no martial arts and can't use violence, he can't fight anymore, alas, he really can't do it!
Lin Fan, who had been entertaining himself for a long time, stopped singing when he saw that there was no cheering, leaned on Li Jing's ear and chatted with him, Li Jing was still open-minded, he didn't have a word of complaint all the way up, and laughed and talked with Lin Fan, Lin Fan praised Li Jing again, and Li Jing's wild laughter echoed in the dangerous peak, and the voice was bounced out of the cliff and spread far away.
Looking back at the more decadent soldiers behind him, he shook his head and sighed softly, cleared his throat and sang aloud "Loyal to the Country", which was often sung in later generations, Lin Fan wanted to see if this song could arouse the morale of the soldiers to reach the peak.
"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north;
The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost;
The heart is like the water of the Yellow River;
Twenty years, between vertical and horizontal, who can resist;
Hatred is mad, and the long knife is directed;
How many siblings are buried in their bones;
What a pity to die to repay the family and country;
endured and sighed, even more speechless, full of blood and tears;
The horse's hooves go south, and the people look north;
People look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying;
I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory;
The dignified Tang Dynasty wants to let the Quartet;
Come and congratulate!
The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north"
As soon as Lin Fan's singing sounded, at first people thought that Lin Fan was singing and entertaining himself again, but they didn't care much, and they were a little disgusted, everyone was tired and half dead, you are still so interested in singing, but with the majestic singing, the tide is higher than the tide, and the lyrics are bloody and heroic, people began to pay attention, Li Jing stopped, more than 3,000 soldiers behind him, as well as Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren, all stopped, and everyone was listening carefully to this song "Serving the Country with Loyalty"! (To be continued.) )
