Duan Fei asked puzzledly, "Why don't the surplus young people in the village go out of the mountain to look for opportunities?" I see you guys fought quite fiercely just now, wouldn't it be nice to join the army? ”

"This ......" Luo Lianghui sighed: "Growing up here, no one is willing to leave, besides, people in the mountains will be looked down upon when they go to big places, the elders of the family, wives are worried about their children, and their husbands are suffering outside, so they can't go if they want to." ”

Duan Fei nodded in realization, but he asked again, "Then why don't you go to join the army?" Is it because you are afraid of going to war? ”

The village chiefs of the two villages smiled bitterly, and when Duan Fei thought they had acquiesced, Peng Xing, the judge of Ruizhou Mansion, said in surprise: "Do you really not know? I use all the guards......"

After explaining Duan Fei, he learned that in order to control the army, the Ming Dynasty adopted the guard system, which was also known as the Tuntian soldiers, and the soldiers were successive generations, and the supply depended on the Tuntian, which saved a lot of resources for the treasury during the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but the disadvantages were slowly reflected after a long time.

The hereditary system of guards led to the fact that some people were born to be soldiers, whether they wanted to be or not, and some of them were quite soldiers but did not have the opportunity to serve the country, just like the able-bodied surplus population in these two villages.

Duan Fei also asked casually, seeing that this road was not passable, he didn't say more, when the wine was drunk, the dust rose high in the distance, two fast horses hurried over, and immediately sat two officials, they dismounted and found Duan Fei, and said to him: "Lord Duan, Lord Governor Wang ordered me to send a secret letter, please open it yourself." ”

Duan Fei took the secret letter, opened it, handed it to Su Rong, and then said to the two people: "I'll go back with you, please wait." ”

After Su Rong saw it, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "My lord, it seems that someone is impatient." ”

Duan Fei nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's faster than expected, so uncontrollable, this person is not a problem." ”

Su Rong shook her head and smiled: "Not enough trouble? Adults don't underestimate him, how many people are planted in his hands, and the government has always been unable to do anything about him, I think it's better for adults not to be near the water in the future. ”

In the face of Su Rong's ridicule, Duan Fei smiled disappreciatively: "It just so happens that I plan to ride back, Shi Bin, send a signal to invite Mr. Tang back, and prepare to go back to Nanchang." ”

Under the enthusiasm of the villagers of the two villages, Duan Fei and his entourage quickly disappeared into the distance on horseback, and when they just galloped out of two or three miles and turned around the foot of a mountain, the two officials who led the way suddenly turned into a small road, Duan Fei's riding skills were not good, and he rushed over the head before he stopped his horse, only to hear the two people shouting in the trail: "My lord, please come with us, Lord Wang sent someone to answer." ”

Duan Fei followed with his horse, and after a while, he saw a team of neatly armored officers and soldiers coming out of the woods.

"Commander Niu Caiyi was ordered to come and escort Lord Duan." A general flew in and hugged Duan Fei with his fist.

Duan Fei replied: "There is General Lao." ”

Two other horsemen jogged over, Duan Fei recognized them as two of the four personal guards beside Governor Wang Shouren, named Chi Chengchang and Chai Junfu respectively, looking at the appearance of one of them with a sword and the other with a bow on their backs, they should be good at melee combat and long-range attack.

The two also saluted Duan Fei, and the two teams of people and horses converged, and more than 1,000 people hugged Duan Fei and his party to protect Duan Fei and his party, and went to Shanggao County.

As he walked, Shi Bin, who had never been treated like this, couldn't help but whisper to Duan Fei: "Brother Fei, Lord Governor Wang actually sent so many people to protect you, he really cherishes you." ”

Duan Fei looked left and right, but his heart was a little heavy, it was enough to have one or two masters to deal with the remnant shark, why do you need so many soldiers? If his plan fails and causes an uncontrollable situation, he is afraid that this thousand-person team will be responsible for cleaning up the chaos, but fortunately, he succeeded.

He looked at Su Rong, who was lagging behind, and Su Rong also heard Shi Bin's words, her eyes were full and she glanced at Duan Fei, and the pair of talking eyes seemed to say: "Lord Wang is so domineering......"

The thousand-person team slowly came to Shanggao County, and Niu Caiyi, the commander of the thousand commanders, didn't know what to say to the county commander of Shanggao County, and the county commander hurriedly beat his horse and took a group of officials to go first, and then Niu Caiyi came to Duan Fei and said: "Lord Duan, according to the secret order of the governor, we will take more land routes and slowly return to Nanchang, it is getting late today, let's rest in Shanggao County for a day." ”

Duan Fei has no opinion, although there are so many people to protect, but he is still a little worried about those Jianghu people who can come and go, I have read too many martial arts novels in the past, and the Jianghu people's ability to kill one person in ten steps and not stay for thousands of miles is enviable, but when he is faced with the assassination of the Jianghu master, it feels not so good, how useful is it to deal with the Jianghu master? More than two hundred years later, Emperor Yongzheng was cut off by the Jianghu people in the palace......

After arranging the residence after the county government, Duan Fei looked out of the courtyard and was a little stunned, Su Rong saw that Duan Fei was worried about something, smiled lightly, made a cup of Biluochun and handed it over, and then comforted in a low voice: "Childe doesn't need to worry, the remnant shark is just a first-class water thief, when he comes to the land and meets four first-class land masters, it can be said that there is no chance, Childe doesn't need to worry, at the end of the day, there is still me, even if I beat him, it is okay to delay a little time and let Childe escape on horseback." ”

Duan Fei glanced at her and said, "Are you my master or my maid now?" Wearing men's clothes and doing the work of a maid, it is easy to be misunderstood. ”

"Scoundrel, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, hmph, I ignore you." Su Rong glanced at Duan Fei, although she was dressed as a man, she was still charming = amazing.

Su Rong turned around to leave, Duan Fei reached out and grabbed her soft hand, Su Rong didn't turn her head, but she seemed to feel his movements, and with a backhand swing, she slapped Duan Fei's hand away, Su Rong jumped forward, turned around and shouted, "What do you want to do?" ”

Duan Fei innocently rubbed the back of his hand that was hurt and said, "You haven't finished saying it yet, why are you walking so fast?" Afraid I'll tease you? ”

Su Rong's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and said, "It's you who should be worried, just say anything else, this son is going to rest." ”

Duan Fei shook his head, looking at Su Rong with a look of pity, and before Su Rong was about to run away, Duan Fei suddenly said, "Did you really find out that Lord Wang sent all four of his guards to protect me?" ”

Only then did Su Rong realize that she had accidentally slipped her mouth, her face was blank, and she said, "What if you find out?" ”

Duan Fei frowned and said, "Lord Wang has sent the four major guards around him to protect me, but his own itinerary is all waterways, isn't Lord Wang afraid that the remnant shark will look for him?" ”

Su Rong pondered this possibility, but said in her mouth: "Lord Wang is a celestial star, so he is naturally blessed by the gods, so you still have to worry about yourself." ”

Duan Fei looked at Su Rong and suddenly bared his teeth and said, "It seems that you didn't think of this question in advance, how could you not think of it with your intelligence?" Isn't it that you've been around me for a long time and you're too lazy to use your brain? Also, you like to quarrel with me more and more, how can there be a maid who talks back to her master all day long? Be careful with my family law! ”

Su Rong glared at him, turned her head and left, and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, you just daydream, remember that the toilet is under the big tree in the east, don't fall into it in the middle of the night." ”

Looking at Su Rong's back, Duan Fei smiled, and an urge to see Su Rong's true face suddenly surged in his heart......
