Shicheng is the base camp of the Blue Wolf Army, and Gong Changyu has always had an idea, that is, to seize any of the high-level figures such as Feng Quan, the lord of the Blue Wolf Country, or the King of Wei and the Eagle King, and if you join the army, you have to have a goal and make some political capital for your own bright future, which is understandable.

Being a general of Tuntian in Lenghu Mountain, although he is far away from the front of the artillery fire, he farms and grows grain in the rear, supports the front, and also contributes to the Qing and imperial courts, Gong Changyu finally figured it out, the more he is suppressed, the more he must bear it, he must not let others look down on him, and if he wants to be a person, he must stand up to the sky and live his own wonderful life.

"Boss, there are hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the periphery of Stone City, is there any good way to easily break in?" Gong Changyu untied his red robe, "It's so hot this weather...... Death Valley is still twenty or thirty miles away, and it still has to walk for an hour, so I really don't want to go. ”

"General, for the sake of that Belle Feida Fire Dragon pocket watch and hundreds of rifles, you better insist on holding on." Hong Yi is happy.

"Hong Yixing, if you can't find the Belle Feida Fire Dragon Pocket Watch and Rifle Gun in the canyon, General Ben will ask you." Gong Changyu fanned the hot air.

"General, let's go, there will be a natural one when you go. The small ones will be eye-opener. Hong Yixing is full of confidence.

"Well, if there is really what you said, General Ben will send you to General Hao tomorrow and let you get your wish." Gong Changyu raised his eyebrows.

"I'd better follow you, general, make a small flag order, pass on the order to you, and I'll be satisfied." Hong Yixing arched his hand.

"Hong Yixing, this general has only brought more than 400 people, but there is no flag order, only the position of flag officer." Gong Changyu smiled slightly.

"It's all right, General. When you become the Admiral, you will have a flag order. Hong Yixing said excitedly.

"In charge, how many rank officials are the commanders?" Gong Changyu turned his head and asked Feng Jiao'er beside him.

"The official of the feudal territory, a first-class general. It will take at least ten years to go from six to one, provided that you defeat an army of thousands of blue wolves. Feng Jiao'er stared at the bluestone paved path ahead, "Some of the glory and wealth are given by the ancestors for virtue and good deeds, and some are earned by themselves." ”

"Glory and wealth are a dream for me, it is a soap bubble, colorful and beautiful, and after it is burst, it is a place of tears. In the soap bubble, I saw a true self, I was a person without roots, and everything had to be done by myself. Gong Changyu felt that his nose was a little itchy, looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, and couldn't help but "Ah cut", sneezed, and splashed Feng Jiao'er's face.

"People always have to dream, otherwise, there is no reason to be strong. After the sadness, don't forget your dream of being a general. Feng Jiao'er wiped the saliva from her face casually, "Changyu, no one will want to calculate you again, right?" ”

"I don't know. There is no way to calculate, so I went with him, and I was too lazy to pay attention to it. Gong Changyu pinched his nose, "Hong Yixing, what are your ambitions?" ”

"General, I don't have any ambitions, and after the war, I will go back to the countryside to be a rich man, a leather jacket and cigarettes, an old fat dog, a wife and a concubine, a young girl, a young girl who sneaks around every day, teases the birds and goes shopping, and the white clothes are not princes, and I am honest and happy in the world. Sleep until you wake up naturally, collect money and receive hand cramps. Hong Yixing smiled, "As for the general soldiers, admirals and the like, I don't want to think about it." ”

"Hong Yixing, your idea is a bit selfish, only for personal sake, but it is also quite real, if it is realized, it will be in vain! Don't lose yourself! Gong Changyu laughed.

"People's life experiences are different, the road is high, the mountain is flat, and you have to go down after all! If they are all governors, admirals, and generals, who will be civilians? Who is the soldier? Wei Chaohui picked up the conversation, "Whether it's an emperor or a beggar, the final outcome is the same." ”

"It's a different ending. The emperor has the troubles of the emperor, and the beggars have the sorrows of the beggars. The emperor is a high-risk profession, in addition to beware of those careerists who covet the throne of the golden dragon every day, he also has to think about how to govern the country and level the world, except for the faint monarch, of course. Feng Jiao'er grabbed Gong Changyu's sleeve, "Beggars don't have to worry about anything except stretching out their hands, so most of the time the emperor is probably not happy with beggars, because beggars don't have to worry about someone stabbing them in the back, they just want to survive in the world and be able to see the sun rising tomorrow." ”

"Half cover the red sleeves and half the window sill, a black canopy in front of the court, look back and remember the front of the trestle bridge, still remember the river green as blue, August lotus picking wins Penglai, the small bridge flowing water ordinary scene...... Hey, I don't know what happened to Xijiang? Hong Yixing sighed, he thought of the mountains and rivers of his hometown in Yuexi County again, as well as the girl Ah Lian in the neighboring village.

"Hong Yixing, where is your ancestral hometown?" Gong Changyu asked.

"Wuzhou's is only three days and three nights away from Jingjiang City." Hong Yixing said.

"Where is Wuzhou? How I haven't heard of it. Gong Changyu asked.

"Yuexi County, the source of the Xijiang River." Hong Yixing replied.

"How did the 'Guangdong' of the two counties of western and eastern Guangdong come from?" Gong Changyu said.

"General, I don't read much, and it's not clear." Hong Yixing said with a smile, "You better ask the military advisor about this." ”

"Yue and Yue are fake words, 'Yue' or 'Nanyue' is today's Lingnan region, the word 'Nanyue' first appeared in Taishi Gong's "Historical Records", Ban Gu's "Book of Han" records 'Nanyue', 'Yue' refers to "Yue", this is eastern Guangdong. The origin of western Guangdong. Feng Jiaoer said.

"Boss, what is a fake word, I don't understand." Gong Changyu was puzzled.

"To put it in layman's terms, a fake word is a typo. Yue and Yue have the same sound, and the Cantonese character is formed by the combination of the beginning and the end of the word Xi, and the modal word 'Xi' is the most used word by the Chu people, and the eastern and western parts of Guangdong belonged to the Chu land in ancient times......" Feng Jiaoer continued to explain.

"Master, when you say this, I seem to understand a little bit, but I have only been in private school for a few months, and all the knowledge I have learned has been returned to my husband. Hehe...... "Gong Chang scratched his head, as if he understood or not.

"General, it's almost noon, we need to follow this stone path, enter the canyon as soon as possible, and exit before sunset." Zhu Shuiqiang was the first to walk to the mouth of the canyon, and the people behind followed one by one.

With his memory, Zhu Shuiqiang led everyone to walk in the canyon, and soon came to an extremely narrow pass, which could only pass one person and one horse. Gong Changyu stopped, looked at the top of the canyon, and saw that the trees were overgrown on it, competing for height, and thousands of peaks were formed.

Gong Changyu pondered, with such a favorable terrain, it stands to reason that it is very good for ambush warfare, but the last annihilation battle of the Jingming Dynasty was still a failure. No matter how good the time and place are, if you lose people, you will not be able to return to the sky. An army that does not have the support of the people is doomed to fall apart step by step.

Feng Jiao'er pulled Gong Changyu's red robe and entered the pass tremblingly. From a distance, she smelled a smell of blood in the air: "Changyu, have you been to this Death Valley before?" ”

"When I first went up the mountain, I came hunting with a few soldiers. I don't think it's as scary as the legend says. Gong Changyu said with a smile, and as he was talking, he stepped on a stiff thing, and couldn't help but take a step back, looking down, it turned out to be a human head with yellow hair covering his face, and his neck and torso had been separated.

Gong Changyu stretched out two fingers and brushed away the yellow hair crawling with insects, and then the miserable white face was revealed, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was big, his tongue was long, crawling with ants, and there was a blood hole on his forehead, and the blood stains that flowed out had solidified, and he had already turned purple. Seeing this, Feng Jiao'er almost threw up.

"Boss, it's strange, why is this man's hair blonde?" Gong Changyu frowned.

"Eagle Strike Li, Meimei Jian mercenaries, their hair grows like this." Feng Jiao'er covered her mouth, "Don't touch his mouth, the foreign devil will bite after he dies." ”

"How is that possible?" Gong Changyu squatted down, picked up a dry branch, folded it in half, and took one end of the branch to explore the man's mouth, he found two gold teeth, pulled them out casually, and came out, he put the dentures in the palm of his hand and trembled, "Master, this dead foreign devil seems to be quite rich." ”

"Changyu, throw it away, you can't ask for dead people's things, it's very dirty." Feng Jiao'er waved her hand.

"Boss, these two gold teeth are made of gold, why can't you ask for them?" Gong Changyu stuffed the dentures into his purse.

"If you can't ask for it, don't take it, otherwise he will come to ask you for the Golden Tooth at night." Feng Jiao'er opened her palm, "Give me the gold tooth!" ”

"Don't give. After death, the gods are destroyed, how can they seek revenge. Gong Changyu ignored Feng Jiao'er.

"Well, you don't see your possessions. If you continue like this, you will suffer a lot in the future. Feng Jiao'er shook her head.

"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. This is what I picked up, and it is not a big deal to ask for it. Gong Changyu said.

"General, I recognize this one, it's Charlemagne, the captain of the Eagle Strike Mercenary Corps." Hong Yixing walked over.

"Oh. You search carefully, and see if there is anything else on him. Gong Changyu pointed to Charlemagne's body and said.

"Yes, General." Hong Yixing responded. He flipped the corpse with his toes, caught a glimpse of a platinum ring inlaid with rubies on Charlemagne's left hand, quickly took it off, and handed it to Feng Jiao'er, "Strategist, this is worth three thousand taels of silver......

"I don't want something that Western men have used." Feng Jiao'er threw the diamond ring into the grass.

"Boss, you are very superstitious." Gong Changyu picked up the diamond ring from the grass, wiped off the dust on it, and blew a breath, "After returning to the camp, I will wash it with potions, and you can wear it." ”

"General, Charlemagne still has a gold pocket watch." Hong Yixing tore Charlemagne's clothes and groped on top of the corpse.
