Volume 1 Chapter 26 of the Northern Plains

"I thought you couldn't find a place! Settle down?" Zhou Zhe knew something about Xin Chai's life experience, and he couldn't get angry at all. Xin Chai held two dangling burdens in his hands.

"Originally, it was difficult to find, but today I saw you in the refugee camp, and then I followed all the way, every small courtyard is the same, otherwise it would be really difficult to find. Did I steal these two baggage?"

"Uh~~ this. ”

"This one says don't move, it must be something good inside, I took it. Xin Chai's eyes were full of cunning.

"The big one is yours. ”

"The big one is not mine, nor is it yours, I am too lazy to move, I will take yours if I want. ”

"You're such a wonder. Forget it, you're not going to live in a refugee camp, are you?

"Yes, I can't drink enough, but now that I find you, I can't have a problem eating, and I'm not comfortable staying in the refugee camp, so I'll live with you now, you don't have an opinion!"

"I don't dare if I want to have an opinion, but it's inconvenient for you to be a woman and my man, right? What should I do if I am discovered?" Zhou Zhe was reluctant to refuse her, and Xin Chai's background made him unable to refuse.

"Well, it's good if I don't exist, I'll sleep on the beam, you sleep on the bed, as long as it's not discovered, no one will find out anyway. Zhou Zhe was speechless.

"You really have a big heart, be careful and be found out, I won't be able to do it. ”

"Don't worry! Mother-in-law doesn't look like a gentleman at all. ”

"Then don't fart when you go to bed at night. Zhou Zhe thought about living alone in his upper bunk, and it was uncomfortable to fart in the middle of the night and rely on human air to purify him, even if he might be a beauty.

"Vulgar, you can't sleep right now anyway, I'll take you somewhere. ”

"Wow, aren't you! Although the battle is over, there is a curfew at night, and if I am found, I will not lose my head, and my ass will be smashed. ”

"Well, that's a problem, but it's okay not to be discovered. Xin Chai only thought for a moment and perfectly bypassed the difficulty. Zhou Zhe had a bitter face, I accepted this strong logic.

Xin Chai then opened the window, and Zhou Zhe only felt that his shoulder was pulled by a strong force, and he had already left the house, under a corner, which was the visual blind spot of the night patrol sergeant. However, it is not wartime, and there are not many people, and a team of night patrols in the same place may not come once an hour, they are all colleagues, and who will be fine to wander around outside at night. Then he swaggered along the spacious night roads, Xin Chai relied on his excellent hearing and night vision ability to pass one level after another.

"Why did you bring me to the refugee camp?" Zhou Zhe didn't know.

"You still have to tie the bell to the bell, I don't know what you're worried about, but since the problem is here, I'll bring you here, whether you can unlock the bell or not, it's up to you. ”

"Okay!"

"Come here, listen quietly!" Xin chased again, and the two of them listened quietly to the sound of conversation in the tent behind a tent.

"Fourth! God bless, today you can be regarded as an auxiliary soldier, and you have to work hard with the commander! The boss left early, and the third child has bad legs and feet, so he can only do some light work, and this big family is counting on you. ”

"Yes, I know. A young man's voice was a little leaky.

"Fourth, don't talk much, does your mouth still hurt?" said a young woman's voice.

"Hey, hey, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. The leaky young man said.

"Every year, you have to go through this process when you choose soldiers, and you have to fight when you choose the main army in the future, have you thought about it?" the lame young man asked.

"Well, our family, how can we do it if we don't go into the army, even if I die in battle, the pension is enough to make the family live well. What is there to think about. "The leaky young man seems to be bleeding from his mouth again.

"Fourth, you don't say a few words, mother, as long as you don't say unlucky things。。。。。 ”

Scenes are constantly repeated in different tents, some for the sake of their families, some for the sake of avenging their families, but none of them complain, at most they complain a few words about how ruthless so-and-so is. In front of a tent where only an old woman and a little girl lived, Xin Chai threw in the silver that was "stolen" from Zhou Zhe and left, Zhou Zhe listened to it for a while and left, Zhou Zhe estimated that she thought of something sad. When they returned to the camp, the two were silent, Zhou Zhe untied half of the knot, and Xin remembered his deceased relatives.

"The knot is untied?" asked Xin, who was lying on his side on the beam.

"Half of it! What about you?"

"What is half called, what an inexplicable person. You don't mind my business. ”

"It's half, can you tell me about you and your grandmother?" As soon as this sentence came out, Xin Chai turned over and got off the beam, his leg pressed against Zhou Zhe's leg, one arm pressed against Zhou Zhe's chest, and one hand was already sharp out of the sheath and against Zhou Zhe's throat. Murderous asked in a cold voice

"What do you know? Who told you?" Zhou Zhe was shocked at first, but then he was relieved, it was not the first time that he had been held to his throat by Xin Chai with a knife, looking at Xin Chai's sharp eyes and red lips behind the veil, everything without any sense of disobedience showed her amazing lethality.

"I... You put it down first, Yang Jue told me. I just want to know, don't let me know if I don't want to!" Zhou Zhe reluctantly patted Xin Chai's wrist with his hand.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. After saying that, Xin Chai flew up and jumped on the beam. It's just that the tears that hit Zhou Zhe's face after slipping express all the sorrow.

"I'm sorry!" Zhou Zhe then didn't speak again until dawn.

The next morning, Zhou Zhe got up very early and left the small courtyard to report to the logistics camp, and specially asked a soldier who was loose porridge how to make everyone's porridge almost the same, but the answer he got was unsatisfactory, but it was the most accurate answer.

"You know what that thing is for! Even if it is dry porridge for three meals, you can't eat enough, and some of them eat well. ”

What's the matter, Zhou Zhe scolded in his heart, it's upset for you to let them eat porridge today, and he will wait for them to stand up and let you drink the northwest wind. Cursing and cursing the mountain sects in the south. Zhou Zhe found a trick after a few attempts, thanks to the fact that the aunt who worked in college had Parkinson's, or Zhou Zhe couldn't learn it, first fished to see how much he did, and then looked at the approximate number of people, the first to do it, almost half a bowl, and then the thin one was over. Lao Ling just touched his beard and looked at him from time to time, without saying much. It's just that I still feel uncomfortable eating pancakes in front of everyone.

"You come with me!" Lao Ling still called Zhou Zhe after he finished his porridge, but this time it was not to choose auxiliaries, but yesterday's resolution had been decided, to select regular soldiers from among the auxiliaries, and many rangers who originally lived in the surrounding area and made a living by hunting orcs would also come to the election. At first, Zhou Zhe thought that the ranger was a great character, but when he saw it, he completely changed his mind, all kinds of cloth-like clothes were similar to civilians, and there were horses, but they were obviously malnourished compared with the horses of the light cavalry battalion, and most of the weapons in their hands were eliminated by Longquan Pass and sold to them at a discount, and there were only a few armor, after all, the armor could be returned to the furnace if it was broken, and the price was high, so it was better to buy a weapon that was in hand. There are also those who wear wolf riding armor and are called flower soldiers, which are the portrayal of rangers, but the spirit and confidence in their eyes are not at all comparable to the refugees in the camp and the auxiliary soldiers who do coolies to collect corpses.

Then the officers began to recruit brave men, first heavy cavalry, mainly to select those who could ride horses and be physically strong, because there were not many heavy cavalry casualties this time, and not many were selected. Then there is the light cavalry, this time the consumption is the largest, and it also needs a lot of replenishment, the rangers have become the main selection objects, and there have been successful hunts of half-orcs are the first choice, Lao Ling will provide all kinds of data to officers at all levels, because those rangers who have hunted half-orcs originally wanted to come to him to buy equipment and trade with half-orc heads. A good-eyed officer can often understand how capable a ranger can be after a few glances, and he can be seen through the head of a half-orc who buys it from someone else with money.

"There aren't so many casualties this time, why do you choose so many light cavalry soldiers?" Zhou Zhe asked Lao Ling suspiciously, and Lao Ling also replied humbly

"It's not so much, but there are many factors to consider, first, if His Majesty allows the expansion, the temporary recruitment will only be mixed, and second, if there is a loss in the north, the spring training can be replenished in time. ”

"Spring training?"

"Spring training actually starts after the selection of troops, and when the snow melts, you can march to the north, otherwise the tribe of the orcs is only a hundred miles away from the village, and the people are not happy. ”

"Taught!"

Lao Ling wrote and drew on various documents, recorded and handed over various documents, and there were constantly officers taking away the soldiers selected by them, and during the period, Wang Rui left with dozens of people and winked at him

Eye.

"Lao Tzu also wants to be a regular soldier! I don't want to transport food every day anymore. A big man roared.

"What is the noise, what will be there is an opportunity. Lao Ling stood up and said, the voice was not loud, but they were all quiet, Lao Ling's eyes glanced at the auxiliaries sharply, and then sat down calmly,

Continuing to hand over all kinds of documents, Zhou Zhe was convinced now, if Lao Ling didn't usually subdue them, it would not be so easy. It took a morning to finish things, and by noon,

Lao Ling said to Zhou Zhe:

"You're here to give them food this time. ”

"Didn't Dashuai let me go to the refugee camp?" Zhou Zhen wondered.

"You have to listen to me when you get to the logistics camp, it's like a refugee camp. Lao Ling explained unhurriedly, Zhou Zhe's jaw was about to drop, and it was estimated that this was the only one who dared to say this sentence when he looked at the entire military camp!

"Yes!"

"If you want to be a regular soldier, stand on the right, Zhou Zhe, this time you come to choose, there are one hundred and fifty cavalry places, and by the way, give them these steamed buns. Don't make a fuss. Lao Ling said lightly, almost blowing up Zhou Zhe's eyebrows, this is hatred! Looking at the eager eyes of almost 20,000 auxiliary soldiers standing on the right, Zhou Zhe swallowed his saliva and watched a few sergeants put a few baskets of steamed buns aside in a daze.

"Don't be stunned, an hour at most. It's been long enough, let's get started!"

"I!" Zhou Zhe was about to speak, Lao Ling gave him the back of his head and went to drink tea. Zhou Zhe was helpless, took a paper from the table and rolled it into a horn shape and shouted

"All of them, feet together, hands flat. "This is to have endurance, otherwise you won't be able to shoot a crossbow a few times, Zhou Zhe's mind is flying, and he begins to think about what kind of person he wants, and it is not a simple matter to choose what he wants from more than 20,000 people. The auxiliary soldiers originally thought it was a light thing, many of them usually did hard work, transporting grain and grass, transporting corpses, and transporting ordnance, but as time went by, this concept began to change, and many people raised their hands and felt that there was a thousand weights, and there were only one hundred and fifty people, and those who could not do it with endurance were put down, and then Zhou Zhe drove them to the back of the team. After about 5,000 people were eliminated, Zhou Zhe began to stop.

"Whoever has children in the house, or a brother who has children, enter!"

"There is no one at home, and those who have no worries enter!"

"Riders come in!"

"Those who know how to bow and crossbow enter!"

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Zhou Zhe's voice resounded through the urn city. On the high guard tower at the other end of the urn city, Chen Yuanhou was drinking the tea served by the Yuan Fang brothers, and Yang Jue was beside him

"Master, is this the question you gave him?"

"Sort of! Just give him to Lao Ling, this kid is better than I thought. If he achieves something one day, he can be a tiger's wing. ”

"Well, it's good! It's just that the temper is like a stubborn donkey, afraid that you won't be able to advance, so he pulls back. It's a bit like you. Li Jiuyang said the person who dared to contradict him.

"It's not big, it's not small!" Chen Yuanhou seemed to be very happy.

"What the hell is this kid doing! There are also people who can net fish, and there are people who can throw stones and cook, whether he will take them to war or take them on outings. Damn it. Lao Chen listened and started a fire.

"This kid doesn't like to eat pancakes!" Qu Hui added.

"Uncle Shi cares about it, so it's better to sit down and rest. Li Jiuyang said with a smile.

"I don't care. Chen Yuan was thick-mouthed, Li Jiuyang smiled silently, if he didn't care, he would shout a group of people early in the morning and blow a cold wind on the sentry tower?

"Choose a hunter, at least he can distinguish wolf dung, what did he choose those two skinny rangers for? Qu Hui, go and ask!" Lao Chen became annoyed again, then scratched his back a few times, and shouted to Qu Hui, who was about to run out, "Forget it! Go back and ask Lao Ling again." Yang Jue: What do you think he wants to do?"

"Hmm! Yang Jue also suddenly found that this kid was a bit nervous, and he didn't understand what he was doing by choosing so many people who were waste materials in his eyes!

"Actually, I think it's pretty good! We can't see it, and others may not be able to see it!" Li Jiuyang woke up the dreamer with a word.

"The Ninth Master understands people!" Li You patted his ass at the right time, but it attracted a lot of contempt and unhappy eyes, as far as she understood, do you look down on us.

Zhou Zhe's selection was completed in less than an hour, and the people he selected were hunters, fishermen, cooks, etc., like a hodgepodge, it seemed that they were really fighting, and they had no combat effectiveness, but they were what Zhou Zhe wanted the most. Then looking at the steamed buns, which were obviously not enough, he made a bold decision. According to the head points he screened, the first batch of those who were eliminated took 2, the second batch of 3, the third batch of 4, and the rest were their own soldiers, and then told those who didn't want to become regular soldiers, this one, no!!

"Lao Tzu's name is Zhou Zhe! Originally, you could have had food, but this meal is not, you have no enterprising spirit, you don't have the courage to go to the battlefield and fight with the wolf, so you deserve this meal to be hungry and have a long memory, if you don't accept it, come to my camp, one-on-one, let's do it alone! Whoever is a stumbling blocker in secret, Lao Tzu promises to teach him how to behave. Lao Tzu killed the wolf rider on the first day of his army, and if he didn't accept it, he came to me. ”

A group of auxiliary soldiers thought to themselves, but they didn't have to eat a meal, of course, they didn't dare to disagree, they did the business on the first day of work, it was really weird and scary, and they all stood there quietly.

"This kid speaks to Lao Tzu's appetite!" Qu Hui said with a grin, and then saw Chen Yuanhou's eyes and changed his words, "I, my appetite." Then he raised the eyes of a group of people.

"Well, it's kind of interesting! Let's go, go back!" Zhou Zhe finished the exam after a while, and Chen Yuanhou waited back to the Shuai Mansion with a group of people.
