Chapter 9: The Lady of the Mountains (Part II)
Song Tongyi rummaged through Xiao Hayakawa's corpse and trotted all the way to Li Yan's side.
"Do you know who this man is?"
"The one who can make Chibei a guard, his status should not be low."
Li Yan responded.
He was holding a piece of magatama that had been saluted from Kobayakawa.
"He's the son of Takakei Kobayakawa!" (The commander of the 6th Army of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi Legion, the same status as the mission target, Yukinaga Konishi.) )
Li Yan was stunned when he heard this.
"That's it. I've made a lot of contributions, haven't I? ”
"At least one level of official promotion!"
Song Tongyi's tone was firm.
Li Yan glanced at Song Tongyi.
"We have been gone for more than half of the time, and Song Tongyi has also contributed, if it is a reward for meritorious deeds, I will not forget Song Tongyi~"
Song Tongyi's face turned red, Li Yan teased, how could he not hear it.
When the Red Reserve Army attacked, he slipped aside early, even if he was a civilian, but after all, he was not injured, and the Ming Army with not light injuries on his body forgot to die, and even did not hesitate to block the Red Reserve with his body, which made him not ashamed.
"Lord Zongqi inevitably underestimates my Korean people too much, and even if he can't help, he doesn't dare to take the credit of the friendly army for himself."
"Hmm~"
Li Yan lowered his head and touched his wrist guard.
"Huh."
……
"Lao Diao! Lao Diao! ”
The old pawn's eyes rolled back and forth, and in front of him was Deng Tianxiong's big ginger face. The sunlight reflected in the snow was dazzling. He tilted his head and saw two small freshly filled dirt bags.
"Lao Diao, how do you feel?"
Seeing Diao's blind fingers moving slightly, Deng Tianxiong, who was depressed because of the folding of two brothers, almost fell into tears.
"Don't worry, he can't die."
Li Yan walked over.
"It's a bad thing if you can't die."
Diao was blind and hoarse, and his one eye was shaking.
"Mr. Li, let me make it clear, I ......"
"Make it clear, I'll take you back!"
Li Yan glanced at the old man and filled a firewood branch in the fire. The flames crackled as they burned with firewood soaked in snow.
The old man's Adam's apple stirred twice, and he turned his head to the side.
"You want to cut back the head of that widow if you drag on a serious injury, do you want to ask for a reward? For your son? ”
Diao was blind and didn't speak.
Li Yan looked at Deng Tianxiong, and Deng Tianxiong said: "In the early years of the imperial court, there was a decree to behead the Japanese Kou at the first level, reward 20 taels of silver, behead the red preparation, reward 100 taels, and promote to the first level below 100 households. ”
Li Yan thought deeper, and he smiled and said to Diao Blind, "You don't worry about me." ”
"My lord, Lao Diao didn't mean that."
"I know." Li Yan nodded and stood up suddenly.
"Ladies and gentlemen." He opened his mouth to catch everyone's attention. "It's not a good way to get back to camp. Everyone is willing to follow me, and they are putting their lives in my hands. ”
After a pause, he continued: "I, Li Yan, the general banner, an officer the size of a mung bean, you really followed me back to the camp, and there is no reward to take." There is no military merit to be rewarded. In our defeated general soldier Cha, I guess he is now eating whips in the camp of the Ming army......"
The thick-eyebrow soldier opened his mouth: "General Banner, don't say that, how much you have carried on this journey, the brothers know it in their hearts." ”
When he said this, everyone agreed with a bang, and they began to talk nonsense.
"If it weren't for Lord Zongqi, I'm afraid we wouldn't have folded here just now."
Whether it was the strength of the brazen killing of Kobayakawa or the scheduling arrangements along the way, Li Yan had gradually established his prestige among this group of people.
Not to mention the strange firearms and life-saving spells.
Li Yan raised his hand, and everyone put their words away.
"I say this, not to let you remember my kindness, but to make a military order for you."
He looked around.
"I will take you back to the camp, not to send you to death, but to bring you to be rich and prosperous, and to have a future."
He narrowed his eyes.
"Li thinks that his career is not bad, to put it mildly, if it weren't for the limitations of luck, those generals who belong to the same Ming Dynasty and think they are brave, I really want to fight. Let's see who is good enough for a general. “
He brought a bowl of hot water and spoke loudly.
"Today, the general army of Cha is defeated, and the court will never give up, and the army will be pressed in the future, and it should be my brothers who are flying to the top."
He pointed to the corpse on the ground.
"Military merit reward silver, everyone shared it together, my share, folded to the two brothers who died in battle today, I say a word here, everyone can trust me, willing to follow me, survive this chaos, I Li people protect everyone a flag officer."
Everyone was stunned for a while, only the old Diao on the side moved slightly.
The most unreliable thing in the world is human affection.
There are also people who talk about human affection.
There are some things Li Yan has always wanted to say, but he can't find a suitable opportunity, and now he only folds two soldiers, which is actually very lucky, but he still can't avoid low morale, Li Yan also took the opportunity to throw out his words, he doesn't expect these people to die from now on, he just wants this person to understand that his general banner is worthy of them to follow, follow himself, can live, can be promoted, these things are much more real than the word favor.
Deng Tianxiong was the first to stand up.
"Lord Zongqi, what I said at the beginning, I won't repeat it today, if you don't speak, brother, I will follow you."
The others stood up one after another, their faces flushed.
Diao couldn't move, just leaned against a stone and sighed.
"Mr. Li doesn't dislike my old bones, so I'm not hypocritical. If there's anything you still need to use my old man, just open your mouth. ”
Song Tongyi stood not far away, seeing that the head of this small army of the Great Ming Kingdom was flying with his eyebrows flying, making a generous statement, and his mood was complicated.
Li Yan's tongue licked the upper tooth hall and nodded silently.
"Let's go."
The group walked for a long time, and when they were about to walk out of the mountain, Wang Sheng suddenly raised his head and said loudly.
"Guys, have you heard the woman's singing......
Li Yan stopped and listened intently for a while.
"It seems to be there, but it seems that there is no ......"
A military man frowned, Li Yan's eyes swept over Song Tongyi's face, his expression was mixed with surprise, doubt, and extreme incredulity.
"Song Tongyi, what is it said in this song?"
"The Lady of the Mountain......
"What?"
Song Tong translated the meditation and explained: "There is a story in Pyongyang about the Celestial Girl, who is said to be the thirty-sixth wife of Hengxiong, the son of the Emperor of Heaven, who never returned after a battle, and the Celestial Girl has been waiting for Hengxiong in the depths of the Celestial Mountain. ”
Li Yan touched his intact neck and smiled dumbly.
"The daughter-in-law of the Emperor of Joseon?"
In the depths of the mountain, the woman's voice spread, and she took the hand of a thin girl in white and watched the black dots like ants at the bottom of the mountain go away.
