The man's mind turned sharply, and he instantly thought of a set of words, and was just about to speak, but he heard Qin Ranran's calm tone: "Needless to say, I don't want to hear it." ”

The words that had just been spit out to his mouth were instantly held back, and the man bowed his head a little dejectedly: "Oh." ”

Qin Ranran walked to the railing and looked at the rolling sand river, and said with a smile: "I don't care about those, I just want to know, if I hand over a batch of goods to you, can you transport the goods from Suzhou to Shangjing safe and sound." ”

The man looked up suddenly: "Little lady, ah, no, Madame means to use me?" ”

Qin Ranran smiled and nodded: "It depends on whether you can use it or not, if you can, you will be the one who will run back and forth between Suzhou and Shangjing for me in the future, if it is not available, then go, hey, where is it?" She turned her head and asked Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu couldn't help but smile and replied, "Red Desert Forest." ”

"If you can't use it, go to the Red Desert Forest and feed the wolves." Qin Ranran's tone and expression were very relaxed.

The man smiled bitterly and knelt on the ground in front of Qin Ranran: "Now that I have fallen into such a field, it is natural that I want to obey my wife's orders." ”

Qin Ranran nodded: "Those subordinates of yours, pick two people who are reliable to help you, and the rest will be filled with troops." ”

The man didn't seem to expect that the delicate little lady in front of him still had the power to charge people into the army, so he was suddenly shocked, and after a while, he buckled his head again: "Madame, don't worry, I will work hard for Madame and repay Madame for her kindness." ”

Lu Chengan raised his eyebrows, seeing that this person was still clever, he ordered Lu Shi to keep an eye on the people, so he shouted Lu Si across the boat and asked him to recruit people into the army.

The man knelt on the ground and introduced himself: "Madam, my name is Liu Lin, I am a tribute in the sixteenth year of Deqing, after I was admitted to the tribute, the ancestral property of the family was suddenly forcibly bought at a low price by the brother-in-law of the local governor, and the silver was not enough for me to participate in the scientific examination, my parents went in a fit of anger, I learned the four books and five classics since I was a child, and also learned some fists and feet kung fu, so I went to kill the governor's brother-in-law, fled to the vicinity of the Yellow River, and became a water bandit. ”

"Where is your ancestral home?" Lu Chengan suddenly asked.

Liu Lin said in a fifteen-and-fifteen-ten manner: "The governor has been beheaded a few days ago, it is the Huang governor of Jinling, I heard that it was a general surnamed Lu who was killed, if there is a chance, I will definitely have a good drink with this General Lu." ”

Qin Ranran turned her head to look at Lu Chengan, and Lu Chengan said with a smile: "Ranran, let someone prepare a table of wine and food at noon, and I will have a good drink with Liu Lin." ”

Liu Lin looked at Lu Chengan in a daze for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head and kowtowed heavily to Lu Chengan: "General Lu!" ”

"Don't worry, Madame, I will do a good job for Madame!"

Lu Chengan smiled and helped him up: "I don't classify your brothers as slaves, as long as they make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, I will follow the rules and let them be officials." ”

Liu Lin's eyes were red, and he wiped his face: "General, I want to go back and tell them, my brothers are all straight, and they are also righteous, maybe they will think that I am dead and against your people." ”

Lu Chengan nodded: "You go, my subordinates are over there, you have a good talk with them, there is a chance to make contributions, it is better than being this water bandit." ”

Liu Lin immediately got up, propped up his hands on the railing, and jumped to the opposite side.

A group of big men under his hands were staring at Lu Si and colliding with them.

"Big Bull!" He quickly stopped the man who hit him the hardest, "I'm still alive." ”

As soon as the big eyes of the big bull copper bell saw Liu Lin, they immediately turned red: "Brother Linzi, we all thought you were dead!" ”

"My lord, let me say a few words to them, I have already spoken to General Lu." Liu Lin stepped forward and bowed to the landing four.

When Lu Si heard him say that he had already said yes to Lu Chengan, he made a gesture and asked his subordinates to back down.

Seeing that these people let go of themselves, Da Niu angrily patted the dust on his clothes, and said to Liu Lin: "Brother Lin Zi......"

Liu Lin raised his hand to stop their words, took a step forward, patted Da Niu's shoulder, and said, "Brothers, today we provoked someone we shouldn't have provoked, do you know who we grabbed today?" It's General Lu who you talk about on weekdays and want to follow him as a soldier the most! ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited and surprised.

Qin Ranran poked Lu Chengan with her elbow: "Hey, I can't see it, you are still famous." ”

Lu Chengan took advantage of the situation to pinch her elbow and pulled her into his arms: "Things seem to be going quite smoothly." ”

Liu Lin continued: "I have confirmed the identity of General Lu just now, and the general said that he will drink with us today!" ”

Da Niu and the others all cheered, the scene was extremely lively, and they even gave a warm hug to Lu Chengan, who was still frowning coldly just now: "I can't stand my brother just now!" ”

"The general also said that if we want to follow him as soldiers, it is not a slave, but a decent soldier, as long as we make meritorious contributions, according to the regulations, everyone will be an official and marry a daughter-in-law!" Liu Lin's tone suddenly became excited, "I have already agreed for you, this is much better than being a water bandit with me, I don't know when I will be surrounded and suppressed by the government, I don't know when I will die in this turbid sand river, and I can't even find your bones!" ”

"They are all dignified seven-foot men, why don't you go and make contributions to the glory of your ancestors? Why do you have to carry the name of a water bandit on your back, so that future generations will not be allowed to conduct scientific research and enter the barracks? ”

Da Niu and the others were silent.

After a while, someone suddenly threw down the knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "When I was about to starve to death, it was Brother Lin Zi who gave me food, and now he says that it is better to be a soldier, so I will go to be a soldier!" Listen to Brother Lin Zi, it's always right! ”

"Yes, we listen to Brother Lin Zi!"

The bandits chimed in and threw down their weapons.

Liu Lin looked excited: "Brothers believe me, I won't hurt everyone, and when the brothers make meritorious contributions and are promoted, remember to bring me Liu Lin with you." ”

Da Niu's eyes suddenly widened again: "Isn't Brother Lin going to be a soldier?" ”

Liu Lin said with a smile: "I promised the general's wife that if I want to run errands and do business for her, I can't be a soldier, but you are a soldier and an official, and it's not the same thing to make money doing business with me?" When have we brothers divided between you and me? ”

"Brother Lin is right!" Another big man said angrily, "Our brothers, who are developed, are all the same!" ”

"I have one more thing to say, though." Liu Lin's expression suddenly became serious, and he said loudly, "General Lu is a good official, we will follow him in the future, but we can't do anything that insults the general's reputation, if we do, don't blame us for not recognizing him as a brother!" ”
