Chapter Twenty-Nine: Learning is Useful
Ma Xiaotian was silent, looking at Qian Kun with questions in his eyes, Qian Kun waited for a while, and saw Ma Xiaotian motioning for him to continue, before he said:
"My old man is the head of the Wanhua Sect, known as the white old monster, low-key, but with an upright character, although his personality is a little withdrawn. I'm ashamed to say that it was not easy for me to take my daughter alone because of some things, so I had no choice but to agree to him to give his only daughter to him as an apprentice. ”
"At that time, Yingying's mother died, and I had no time to take care of her, thinking that I could learn a skill from the old monster, and my daughter would not be afraid of being bullied by others in the future, I didn't want to see each other for so many years, but my daughter finally ran out by herself because she missed me."
Qian Kun, who usually speaks so verbosely, couldn't help but start chattering when he talked about his daughter's life experience, regardless of whether Ma Xiaotian listened to it or not.
"Therefore, the young man who is looking for me outside was sent by my daughter's master, and this old man of mine first sent his eldest apprentice to deliver a letter to me, and secondly, he wanted the eldest apprentice to enlist in the army, kill the enemy and defend the land for the country, so that the children can learn to be useful."
Finally said his purpose, he had never asked Ma Xiaotian for anything because of his personal affairs, at this time, Qian Kun finally finished speaking, his cheeks were slightly embarrassed to look at Ma Xiaotian, and he secretly exhaled, and said late at noon, only to recover from the tension just now.
Ma Xiaotian saw Qian Kun's face and knew his thoughts.
No longer embarrassed him, he said, "Call someone in, and I'll see you." ”
Waved his hand for the guard to bring the person up, and after speaking, he turned back to the handsome chair and sat down steadily.
comforted Qian Kun and said: "Master, don't be embarrassed, I will see someone, if it is really like what you said, I will definitely stay." ”
It was when I was employing people, after listening to Qian Kun's introduction, this person was still upright and upright, and he just used it for himself. However, employing people also depends on fate, whether to stay or not, I also want to see people making decisions first.
Soon the tent door opened again, and the guards entered the big tent with Zhuo Songbai, and after saluting the general with their fists, they retreated to the side and waited.
At this time, Zhuo Songbai was still dressed in that suit, but the sword on his body had been taken off before entering the barracks, and he was not a person in the army, and he could not enter with a weapon when he entered the barracks to see the commander.
Zhuo Songbai entered the big tent and saw that on the handsome seat in front of him, a handsome man who was not very old was sitting in the position of the coach, with heavy eyebrows and a pair of bright eyes, which made the man's face heroic, and his eyes flashed with sharp light.
Qian Kun saw Zhuo Songbai enter the tent with the guards, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce Zhuo Songbai, "General, this is the little nephew Zhuo Songbai I recommend to you."
Listening to Qian Kun's words, Zhuo Songbai immediately said to the heroic man in front of him, "Zhuo Songbai has seen the general!" ”
"Well, sit down." Ma Xiaotian spoke lightly, raised his hand and motioned for Zhuo Songbai to arrange a seat.
After Zhuo Songbai humbly thanked the general, a guard brought a small square stool over, placed it next to the master's table, and arranged for him to sit here.
After Zhuo Songbai sat down, Ma Xiaotian spoke again: "I heard that Master said that Zhuo Gongzi has followed Senior Bai to learn martial arts and medical skills for many years, and now he is going down the mountain to find an errand in my account?" ”
"Zhuo is not talented, he has studied art with his master for many years, and he has always wanted to use what he has learned in this body in the right way, so that my martial arts and medical skills can be useful. This time I went down the mountain, although I was looking for my junior sister, but now my junior sister doesn't know where she is, and I don't know where to find her, so I can only stay with Uncle Qian, so Zhuo Moucai dared to recommend himself to the general, begging the general to stay in the army and give me an errand, I can stay here and wait for my junior sister, or I can serve for the general! ”
Zhuo Songbai said the purpose of going down the mountain, and also said his true thoughts, he didn't want to hide his purpose, but he was also afraid that Ma Xiaotian would not agree to him to stay for this reason, so after saying this, he watched Ma Xiaotian's reaction on the side with anxiety.
"Very good" Ma Xiaotian never had a trace of expression on his face, and when he heard Zhuo Songbai's explanation, he felt that this young man did not hide it from himself, and he liked it very much. has led the army for many years, and what he dislikes the most is deceit and flattery in the court.
The soldiers he led were to be loyal and honest to him, and these two points were necessary and indispensable.
Because in the army, on the battlefield, your name may encounter danger or unpredictable situations at any time, if the people around you can't do a tacit understanding of mutual trust, wouldn't you put yourself on the brink of danger?
The kid looks young and vigorous, but he can restrain his vigor just right, which makes people feel disgusted, which shows that he is very smart.
And honestly told himself that the purpose of his stay was not only to join the army, he wanted to stay in the barracks, but also to wait for Qian Yingying by Qian Kun's side.
"Good, good, I like your honesty." Ma Xiaotian nodded and said.
"However, if your junior sister finds it, will you leave me and go back to restore your master's life?" Ma Xiaotian then asked.
He is here in the barracks, since he has joined the army and become a soldier, he can't just say and leave, according to military law, leaving without permission is a deserter, and if he is caught, he will be punished on the spot. The young man may not know yet, so he must make it clear to him, if his junior sister is found one day, he can't just say that he will leave and go back to find his master.
"This ......" Zhuo Songbai didn't think of this, he didn't think about where he would go after finding the little junior sister, but he enlisted in the army with his master behind his back, and after finding the little junior sister, he had to take her back to restore his life.
"Zhuo Shi's nephew, don't be embarrassed" Seeing that Zhuo Songbai was embarrassed for a while and didn't know how to answer, Qian Kun couldn't bear it, so he came forward to relieve him and said, "Your master has already explained to me in my heart, if you are willing to enlist in the army to serve the country, he will not stop you, you are all voluntary, it depends on your choice." ”
"Master really said that?!"
After listening to Qian Kun's words, Zhuo Songbai grew up happily and asked in disbelief.
"That's exactly what I did." Qian Kun looked at him with a smile, nodded and confirmed him again.
"General, you heard it, my master and his old man also agreed to me to be a soldier, and I will definitely be a soldier here in a down-to-earth manner!"
