The battlefield was cleaned quickly, and the sergeant who controlled the horse soon returned. Then the body was burned in a hurry, and Wang Rui did not delay any longer, and led a group of people to leave Lin Village. The atmosphere along the way was a bit dreary, after all, half of the casualties were killed. Liu Dabeard said something from time to time to pull up the morale of the team that had fallen behind, and Wang Rui, who had originally taken the lead, sent Liu Dabeard to the front of the team and came together with Zhou Zhe. Zhou Zhe knew that he had something to say, and he also slowed down his horse.

"Above the battle array, the place of life and death, the festival mourns and changes. Zhou Zhe comforted Wang Rui at first.

"Well, I should comfort you, you're stronger than I thought. Wang Rui nodded.

"You're not going to say words of encouragement to me, are you? I just want to live. Zhou Zhe frowned, not knowing Wang Rui's intentions.

"Putting death to life, you use a good art of war. Wang Rui was a little annoyed.

"I didn't even think about who died, it was the best way, at that time, we couldn't leave. Zhou Zhe was a little resentful. And Wang Rui was also a little silent, if it was him, maybe Zhou Zhe didn't do it better, maybe under the pursuit of twice the number of wolf riders, morale fell all the way to the bottom, and then lost his armor, and retreated all the way to Longquan Pass, I don't know how many people will die.

"I'm just... Wang Rui couldn't go on later, he couldn't think of the words to refute, maybe blaming others for the mistake was a way to calm his mind.

"They survived, at great cost. Now it's time to think about how to appease your comrades-in-arms and families. Fighting a war is meant to kill people, and no one is spared. Zhou Zhe didn't argue, just said what needed to be done at the moment.

"I know, this beheading of 40, except for the reward of 1 level beheading per person, the rest I am going to distribute to the families of those fallen sergeants. You and Lin Xiaoer can each get a reward for the first level of level 1. This time I owe you only that. Wang Rui said silently.

"It's not a debt, if it weren't for Liu's bearded archery skills, I would have died. Zhou Zhe waved his hand. Wang Rui was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"I'm just a centurion, and if you stay, and you're called a sergeant, you're a centurion. I have no other relationship, Longquanguan has a strict promotion system, and I can't directly recommend you to the handsome account, but I know it. I just want you to stay here and help my brothers. Wang Rui said very seriously, there is no longer the coldness of the past, more like a father and brother who benefits his children.

"Let me think about it. Zhou Zhe thought for a moment before answering. Zhou Zhe knew that the best way out at present was the sergeant who entered Longquan Pass, which seemed dangerous, but it was actually the best way, but Wang Rui's heavy trust made him hesitate.

"Well, but the time can only be before Longquan Pass, because after the civilians enter the customs, they will be uniformly controlled, and when they come to our team, at least there will be meat for a while." Wang Rui suddenly became very talkative, although he blushed a little in the end, and then left the stunned Zhou Zhe and rode in front, and the speed of the whole march slowed down. Zhou Zhe smiled bitterly, Wang Rui would also play this somewhat scoundrel way to give Zhou Zhe more time to think.

Zhou Zhe was thinking in his heart, looking at Lin Xiaoer who was talking to Liu Dabeard in front of him from time to time, it seems that Wang Rui also instructed Liu Dabeard to persuade Lin Xiaoer, after all, it can be seen that Lin Xiaoer has an impact on Zhou Zhe's decision. Directly became the regular army of Longquan Pass, and most of the ordinary people could wake up with a smile in their dreams. Although he liked this group of sergeants and could see in them what he didn't have, it didn't mean that he should be one of them. But if he didn't join the army, where could he go? After hesitating, Lin Xiaoer still came.

"Brother Zhou, I want to enter Wang Baihu's riding camp. Lin Xiaoer said very seriously, the last time he was so serious was when he left Lin Village, he had this temperament, it seems that he has made a decision. Zhou Zhe nodded:

"It's good to join the army!" and then shouted loudly: "Wang Rui, from now on we will eat in the same pot." Wang Rui glanced back at Zhou Zhelin Xiaoer, smiled very happily, very sunny, raised his spear and shouted: "Fellow with the son." The rest of the sergeants also excitedly shouted in unison at this moment: "With the son, with the son, with the son!"

At this moment, he and Lin Xiaoer became the fastest people to enlist in Longquan Pass, not as auxiliaries, not as rangers, but directly as regular soldiers, which is almost a dreamlike experience for many people. Wang Rui accelerated the overall marching speed after confirming Zhou Zhe's decision to join. Zhou Zhe saw this majestic gate a few miles away, lined up among the mountains, and when he got closer, he was even more shocked by the momentum of the one-man pass, the whole city pass did not seem to be made of bricks and stones, it seemed to be carved by someone digging out a huge stone in the mountain. The overall black wall has an indescribable temperament, as if a person, holding a sword, is standing there, looking at the world.

Wang Rui looked at Zhou Zhe who was distracted, and said with a hearty smile: "When I first came to Longquan Pass, I was as shocked as you, and after staying here for many years, I was even more shocked, and there are still many things I haven't figured out. ”

Zhou Zhe looked at Wang Rui and motioned for him to continue. Wang Rui did not sell Guanzi again.

"The entire Longquan Pass, except for the small houses in the inner city, which are repaired with bricks and tiles, seems to be carved out of a black mountain rock, and it is extremely hard. When I first joined the army, I tried all the methods of slashing and chiseling, and I didn't leave a mark on the wall. ”

"It's so hard? Zhou Zhe sighed.

"Hey, there's something even more amazing! I wondered who could carve such a hole in a big stone. When I met someone, I asked, and later I learned from the mouth of a disciple of a spiritual cultivator who traveled here by chance that it was really a pass carved out of the stone. Wang Rui was about to continue, when Liu Dabeard came up and said:

"I also know this, it is said that thousands of years ago, there were great supernatural powers, there was the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, at that time the world Lingshan and rivers do not know how many, more for its use, Longquanguan is also carved by the mountain stone, has been ready to cast, but for some reason, not long after the mountain fire ignited, there was a spring water gushing out from the ground, extinguishing the fire, Longquanguan got its name from this. From a distance, it really looks like a sword. So everyone believed that this legend was true, and that our city gate was locked between the hilt of the sword and the blade. ”

Zhou Zhe sounded like a book from heaven, but the momentum of this Longquan Pass was really extraordinary. Although I know that I have been magically sent to this chaotic place, it is not impossible, but I feel incredible. After Wang Rui took out the token, the drawbridge was put down, and a small door was opened from the urn city on the side of the pass, and a group of mermaids entered, Zhou Zhe touched the swarthy wall with his hand from time to time, and the touch was cold, he seemed to see a lonely swordsman, just standing there, sharp and pressing.

"Liu Dabeard, you take the brothers back to the station to repair first, use the wolf's tail to go to the logistics to exchange some hard dishes, and I will go to the handsome account to report the situation. Zhou Zhe, you are with me. After Wang Rui entered the city, he dragged Zhou Zhe and went to the big tent to report the actual situation of Lin Village, and he needed to be brought to support him. The whole Shuai tent is actually the Shuai Mansion, except for the 8 guards standing outside the door, I didn't see any fame, and when I entered the Shuai Mansion, Zhou Zhe found out what it means to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, the shooting holes on the side of the wall, the rows of barracks, and the feeling is that this is also a small military camp. After Wang Rui went in to report, he left Zhou Zhe in front of the door. Zhou Zhe looked at everything around him, and felt that everything was fresh, the antique barracks, and the green grass with only two leaves growing in the flower pots under the barracks. The sergeants were armoured with strange runes painted on them. The surrounding sergeants looked at Zhou Zhe's dress and curious eyes, so they didn't look at Zhou Zhe anymore. Zhou Zhe didn't wait long, and was summoned for questioning.

"You set the fire in Lin Village?" The person who asked was very direct, and Zhou Zhe was even looking at the surrounding furnishings, so he subconsciously blurted out

"Yes. After speaking, even I was a little stunned, this person is so powerful. I couldn't help but refocus my attention on the person in front of him, a swarthy military uniform, bareheaded, and only about twenty years old, it was Qu Hui, who was acting for the defense of Longquan Pass, one of the proud disciples of Longquan Pass Chen Dashuai.

"The situation Wang Rui also said just now, why did you set the fire in the middle of the night? If you didn't recruit us, what would you do if you summoned the wolf horse?" Qu Hui asked very strictly, and Zhou Zhe didn't hide it, and said it truthfully

"At that time, I judged that the wolf rider was deliberately hiding his tracks. It was only in the middle of the night that it was set on fire. ”

"Where do you get your confidence! But it may be true. You also sniped 40 wolf riders in the mountain pass? How did you come up with such a way without fighting?" Qu Hui's question behind him actually has multiple meanings, not everyone can have the quick wisdom of hand-to-hand combat, if it is a mountain gate in the south, it is estimated that Zhou Zhe will be wiped on the spot. Zhou Zhe looked at Qu Hui, who seemed to be ridiculing, and reported truthfully again:

"It's not what I learned when I stole chickens before, you have to go up directly, and you will be found by the main family, when I was in Anran Village, I didn't eat meat for three days, and the chickens didn't dare to crow. Zhou Zhe said this sentence as if showing off, and Wang Rui's face on the side turned red. Qu Hui just laughed heartily, and then pointed at Wang Rui:

"Count you as picking up a living treasure, and you will take him with you in the future. There are also waiting for the other teams to come back, you report, ready to go out of the customs at any time to support, almost all the horsemen who can be used now are outside, and it will be good to see what I arrange when the time comes. You can go back and fix it!" Qu Hui gave the order and beckoned the two of them to step back.

Zhou Zhe and Wang Rui returned to the garrison not long after leaving the Shuaifu, and unlike the chaos and simplicity of the ancient military camp that Zhou Zhe imagined, this was a small courtyard, and there was even well water in the yard, as well as a kitchen that could be used. There is also a tree in the middle of the courtyard, the barracks are very tidy, and the spacious branch road outside the small courtyard is also full of this kind of clean and tidy small courtyard, except for the sergeants standing guard at each intersection, there are very few people walking around in the whole Longquan Pass.

From Wang Rui's mouth, I know that this is wartime control, and civilians are not allowed to enter the inner gate if they set up tents in urn cities one by one, even if it is not wartime, they are only allowed to do business on the main road and outside the city gate. Well-organized housekeeping, strict management, and then at the time of eating, looking at the two baskets of pancakes and the fragrant mutton soup, Zhou Zhe couldn't help but feel the strength of Longquan Pass, and at the same time, he was also afraid of the actual combat power of the half-orcs who dared to attack.

Lin Xiaoer was very happy to eat baked cakes in his left hand and a leg of mutton in his right hand, and the sergeants also liked this little fat man who had shown bravery and likability in the previous battle, and they gave him food and drink vigorously. Zhou Zhe just drank the mutton soup quietly, chewed and swallowed the pancakes slowly, and nodded to the sergeants who looked at each other from time to time. The sergeants seemed to be in awe of Zhou Zhe, and it seemed that there was a natural estrangement between them invisibly, although they didn't understand, but it was there. Liu Dabeard also serves as the position of the spoon, but his spoon never shakes, a piece of meat is a piece, and when he encounters a large piece, he twists a strand of meat and ridicules it, which can always make the sergeants laugh.

Wang Rui ate quickly, and after eating, he unloaded his armor and took out the cold water in the well and began to rinse, with a strong tendon and meat, and there were several oozing scars on his chest and back, which could be seen to be the rest of his life. After taking a shower, he just changed into civilian clothes and quietly wiped his spear. Then when the sun was setting, he instructed Liu Dabeard to say two sentences, and said to Zhou Zhe:

"Zhou Zhe, you sleep in my barracks. Zhou Zhe wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Wang Rui reaching out.

"What I, Wang Rui, am not talking about. Everyone else also listened, in our cavalry, what Zhou Zhe said was my order, and if anyone didn't obey, I would kill him. After saying that, he put the spear on the weapon rack and went to Liu's bearded house. The sergeants suddenly realized where the barrier was, and that some of them were born to be heads. If there was no battle in Lin Village, there might be dissatisfied, but after this battle, the sergeants had more envious eyes. Zhou Zhe also had an extra layer of pressure in his heart, Wang Rui trusted him, and he put the lives of a group of sergeants in his hands, and the pressure was huge!

Zhou Zhe saw that the protest was ineffective, so he just waved his hand, went to Wang Rui's barracks, and then fell asleep.
