What kind of official is this? Along the way, Ge Chang stared closely at Lin Feng's figure, and found that his pace had not slowed down at all, and he was even increasing his speed, gradually turning into a jog.

Will you keep running like this with him from now on? Running to victory? A thought suddenly appeared in Ge Chang's mind.

When he arrived at the place where the official road turned to the path, Ge Chang turned around, his nose was crooked, most of his men and horses were already crooked, and a few soldiers had completely fallen behind, and they still walked a few steps and stopped a few steps.

Ge Chang turned back in a few arrows, ran to the stragglers, picked up the scabbard and smashed it, and scolded in his mouth: "Are you ashamed? I can't run away from the children and scholars, I will warn you once that if you really don't want to follow, you can go back directly, my team won't want you! ”

In comparison, the Praetorian Guard is still a cost-effective type of work, with good scenery and good treatment, and basically has not been on the battlefield, and ordinary people really can't get in! As soon as these people heard this, they immediately ran a few steps, but after a while, they completely slowed down again. No way, the strength is too poor!

"I don't care, if you really can't keep up, I congratulate you, you will be completely liberated from now on!" Ge Chang slammed the next sentence and rushed forward by himself.

Before dark, Lin Feng and his party rushed to the valley mouth, and Ge Chang had already rushed to their side at this time, maintaining the same speed as them.

Well, not bad. Lin Feng glanced at Ge Chang appreciatively, slowed down, and walked towards Li Qing, Wei San, Sun Cuo, Chen Fei and the others who were waiting at the valley mouth.

Lin Feng waved his hand to Wei San and the others, and asked Li Qing as soon as he opened his mouth: "Have all the simple dormitories I ordered last time been set up?" ”

"Lord Yulin, all set. There are three in total, one in the outer valley and three in the inner valley. Li Qing congratulates Lord Lin on his promotion! Li Qing replied respectfully. He had already asked about this from Wei San's mouth just now, and he was very impressed, it has only been a few days, and he has been promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth grade, looking at the speed of promotion!

"Thank you! I'm going to have to bother you a lot in the future! Lin Feng patted Li Qing on the shoulder.

"It is the honor of the villain to serve the adults!" Li Qing hurriedly replied.

Lin Feng walked towards Sun Cuo, pulled him aside, and asked quietly, "Brother Sun, are they all settled?" ”

"It's settled. The old shop had all been cleaned up, and all eight men had followed, and we had settled down near the iron mine, and the men had begun to rebuild the stove in the afternoon. Sun Cuo said excitedly.

"Ha Luha, this time His Majesty gave us a thousand yuan, which is specially used to buy our weapons, and I will draw you the appearance of the weapons when I go back!" Lin Feng was greatly satisfied.

"Okay, this is our first big business!" Sun Cuo was even more excited, rubbing his big hands vigorously.

"Start making money, you have to remember to send more to those guys, or be careful of the outflow of talents and skills!" Lin Feng was not at ease, and confessed again.

"I know, these guys are not married, and I have already mentioned to them that the salary will be doubled before I came, and it is too late for them to be happy!" Sun replied.

"That's good!" Lin Feng hugged Sun Cuo's shoulder hard, touched Chen Fei's head, who had been following him, gave Wei San a few words, and turned to Ge Chang.

Ge Chang had been standing at the mouth of the valley, silently counting his men and horses, and when he saw that the few stragglers were also sweating profusely and limping away, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If a few of them are gone, this person will lose a lot of hair.

"Master Ge, can you gather everyone, and I will meet with you and say a few words?" Lin Feng said to Ge Chang with a smile. At this time, Zheng Yucong and several people had already stood around with torches.

"Good!" Ge Chang rushed out of the ground again, kicked up several soldiers who were sitting on the ground and was panting, and kicked them to their feet. Don't look at Ge Chang is very cold and cool every day, that's because he is like a talent who doesn't like his eyes, he is still very good to his own soldiers, especially more than ten brothers selected from the border army together.

The team finally stood in one place, and Ge Chang shouted loudly: "Everyone is quiet, now please speak to Master Lin Fenglin, the doctor and captain of Zhaowu!" ”

Lin Feng stood on a stone and found that there were more than ten soldiers in the team who were standing up straight early, and their faces were the same as Ge Chang's, and they all had the same characters as Ge Chang.

Lin Feng's face was solemn, and he raised his voice and said, "All those with black characters on their faces are out of the ranks. ”

Ge Chang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a step forward, and the other more than ten black-character people also silently stepped forward, standing in a row with Ge Chang, looking at Lin Feng with hatred.

"Ge Dutou, let me ask you, do you hate this black character on your face?" Lin Feng asked loudly.

"Hate! I hate! Ge Chang blurted out, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he thinks very highly of himself, but a few years ago he was forcibly conscripted into the army when he conquered Fujian in the Southern Tang Dynasty, because he resisted vigorously, and there was such a sign on his face, although he was selected into the Praetorian Guard together with his brothers in the same county because of his heroic battles, but it was such a mark of shame that he was usually fed up with the pointing and ridicule of his colleagues.

"What about you?" Lin Feng pointed to the other dozen or so black-faced people.

"Hate!" They shouted in unison, they were not less because of the words on their faces and were pointed out and laughed at by the people of Jinling City when they were patrolling the streets, and they were called "stinky soldiers" and "really disgusting"!

"Ge Dutou, can you remove this kind of word?" Lin Feng asked.

"Can't!" Ge Chang shook his head painfully.

This kind of black character is pierced deep with a knife or needle, deep to the bone, and then dyed with ink, how to remove it? "Youyang Miscellaneous" once recorded that during the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Duan Chengshi's brother passed through the Huangkeng, and his entourage picked up a dead man's skull to prepare for medicine, and found that a piece of bone had traces of the words "escaped slave", the color was like light ink. Duan Chengshi deduced that this was the skull of a black-faced man in ancient times, and this story fully proves that the scars can even be deeply imprinted on the human skull.

"Then, we only have one way left, and that is to completely turn this dark face into a kind of glory, so that the people of the world can only be proud of it from now on, take it as beauty, and not be ashamed of it, not be ugly about it!" Lin Feng said loudly.

How do you say that? Ge Chang raised his head with his fellow brothers and looked at Lin Feng fixedly.

Lin Feng jumped off the stone, took a steel knife he had just taken from Wei San, who had arrived, walked up to Ge Chang, and motioned for him to take out his saber.

"Phew!" Lin Feng let out a loud shout, and slashed the knife in his hand towards Ge Chang's knife, and Ge Chang subconsciously raised the knife to fight.

With a "choking", Ge Chang's knife actually broke, and Qi fell to the ground. At this moment, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Lin Feng raised the knife in his hand and let everyone take a look. The knife in his hand was only knocked out of a small gap. According to Lin Feng's observation, with Ge Chang's current situation, the knife he used must be a defective product specially arranged by Chen Shenwen and others, and the quality must be inferior to the steel knife of the guards around Li Jing.

"Where will the glory of the future come? Can only be cut out! What to cut out, only the knife in our hands! Let me tell you that in the valley behind me, countless such treasure knives can be produced, which can be said to be the sharpest knife in the world! This gave us a sharp weapon to win honor in the first place! Lin Feng shouted loudly.

"At present, the saint wants to carry out changes, elite soldiers are one of the key ones, and next year there will be a big military parade and a big competition, as long as you really have the ability, anyone can stand out! I can assure you that in the future, there will only be more foreign wars in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this will give us another opportunity and a stage to make a name for ourselves. Lin Feng continued to shout.

At this time, Ge Chang and his brothers already had a glimmer of brilliance in their eyes, they had originally fought hard, and they only had the desire for war and no fear.

"With invincible weapons and opportunities to show their skills, I, Lin Feng, can also give everyone the guarantee of settling down. I hereby swear to heaven that in the future, as long as you can become my subordinate, you can participate in the war dividends I designed. In other words, as long as you work hard as a soldier and win the war, you and your family will not have to worry about your livelihood from now on! Lin Feng took the opportunity to reveal a little information about his future plans for the army in advance.

"Ge Dutou, how's it going? With these, do you have confidence!? Lin Feng shouted at Ge Chang.

"Lord Lin, is everything you said true?" Ge Chang stared at Lin Feng's eyes tightly and shouted back.

"No lie!" Lin Feng didn't show weakness and stared straight back into his eyes.

"Well, I believe it! From now on, I will sell my life to Lord Lin! Ge Chang shouted with red eyes, turned to his brothers, and shouted, "What about you, believe me or not?!" ”

"Believe!" A row of brothers shouted out, because they were born in the same county, and they were blackened at the same time, they have been brothers who have relied on each other since they first went to the battlefield, and they have long decided to live and die together.

"Good! Good boy! Lin admires! Lin Feng sighed and walked to the soldiers in the back rows. The interest and fighting spirit of these people had also been aroused by Lin Feng's agitation, and many of them looked excited and stood up straight.

"Knowing that the Tao is the way of the Lu, why did you come here?" Lin Feng slowly looked around at everyone, lowered his voice and said slowly, then suddenly raised his voice and said the answer word by word, "That's because your generals and captains unanimously concluded that you are all waste materials in front of King Qi and me, and that you will not be able to win the game in two months!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and many of them began to clench their fists, and their eyes burned with anger from humiliation.

"Ge Dutou, they just have black characters on their faces, and you, you have already been written in your hearts by others! Those black words are 'rubbish'! 'Rubbish'! Are you willing to carry such a logo for the rest of your life?! Lin Feng yelled.

"I don't want to!" A thin soldier blushed and shouted first, and then the other soldiers shouted out in unison, and their voices became more and more neat, higher and higher, and finally converged into a loud voice: "I don't want to!" ”

"In the eyes of those generals, we are like mud on the soles of their shoes, we can be bullied and trampled at will, we have to prove that we are not mud, we are not waste, let us act, work hard, and after two months, let us prove to them with hard work and fists, let us tell them with complete victory that we are the best soldiers! We are the best soldiers! Lin Feng retreated to the stone and shouted with a wave of his arms.

"We're the best!" All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and the passionate sound broke the silence of the mountain night, and a few small birds in the nearby trees were startled and fled into the distance.
