Chapter 243: The Fireman
Shen Chenfang left, and Xuanyuan received a secret letter from Tyrant One.
first said that the white jade disc must have a delicate spring, and finally wrote that Lin Shaoge asked him to pass the word "Xi".
Between the violent lines, there is a faint amount of unspoken resentment.
Xuanyuan was puzzled, and when he was coerced by Lin Shaoge, he was naturally a little resentful.
He didn't know that Dong Yin led people to surround Shili Village, and Storm Yi was in a very dangerous situation.
This time there was a toxic attack, and Li Shiyan deliberately hung him for a few days without giving the antidote, and many things were delayed. Originally, he should have sent news to Storm Yi, asking him to give Dong Yin a thorough rumor and lead troops to encircle and suppress Lin Shaoge.
But when he saw the word "Xi", he hesitated.
He hesitated for a moment, walked to the side of the wall lamp, gently rotated the support of the bronze lamp in the shape of a figurine, and a five-inch square dark grid appeared on the wall, he reached in, took out a stone box that looked heavy, and opened it, there was only one page in the box, he took it out, and put two secret letters in one place, and looked at it carefully.
Last time, Lin Shaoge sent a message saying that if Yan Qi was released, he could help when he won the heir.
To take the heir is to abolish the heir. Xuanyuan is the eldest son of Emperor Xuanyuan Yu and Empress Baizhen, how can he take the heir?
Xuanyuan squinted his eyes, and his gaze wandered on the words "seizing the heir" and "Xi".
Could it be that the person Yan Qi said was Lin Shaoge?!
How can it be! If it was him, how could he ......
Xuanyuan's evil pupils slowly shrank to the size of a needle, and the bronze flame jumped in his eyes, looking like a poisonous snake, ready to choose someone to devour.
After a moment, I don't know what came to mind, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
……
……
Li Laogen has been a fireman all his life.
Ten soldiers are a team, ten teams are a capital, ten are a battalion, and ten battalions are a legion, that is, 10,000 soldiers.
Li Laogen is responsible for five teams of 50 people, two meals in the morning and evening, and five dollars of silver every month.
He never complained, because a large number of people were still waiting for him to give up this position—even if it was upside down, there were people who were willing to do it.
Because it is also a purchase.
He has been doing this husband for more than 30 years, and the soldiers have changed one stubble after another, but for so many years, Li Laogen has never really seen what the army looks like.
On weekdays, these fifty soldiers were on the school ground, together with the five teams in charge of their fellow Yang Dashan, obeyed Yu Dutou's orders and lined up in a neat 100-person phalanx for training. Once Yu Dutou was called away by the above, this group of soldiers immediately dispersed like ants, hiding at the root of the wall, under the shade of a tree, or rubbing under Li Laogen's cauldron, in short, they were lazy and cool.
This time he went out with the army, and Li Laogen was stunned.
Sure enough, anything ordinary, as long as it reaches a certain amount, will look terrifying, and it has the feeling of a behemoth.
When I heard that this was an "army of 100,000", Li Laogen only smiled, in his opinion, there was no difference between 1,000 people, 10,000 people, and 100,000 people. Isn't it just the soldier ruffian who queues up in front of him on weekdays and smiles with a face, hoping that his big spoon scoops more meat into the bowl!
Li Laogen's favorite thing to do is to scoop up a big spoonful of meat first, take a look, and before falling into the other party's bowl, "accidentally" shake his hand, drop half of it back into the big bucket of meat, and then raise his eyelids and look at the other party's expression - tsk, as if the heart and liver also fell into the bucket with the meat trembling, frowning, grinning "hiss" and inhaling. That flesh pain is really not too exciting!
Even if such a person is combined into an "army of 100,000", so what?
As it turned out, it was quite different.
In the rolling black wave, Li Laogen couldn't recognize the fifty ruffians, and even Yu Dutou seemed to be a different person—as if he had become a part of some huge, incomprehensible and imaginary, some kind of living object.
Each soldier is no longer his original self, and the part of his character as a "person" seems to have been obliterated into the whole, turning into a small part, moving with this behemoth, without fear and indestructible.
Although this so-called "100,000 army" actually only had 20,000 people who actually fought, and the rest were like Li Laogen, as well as the temporarily recruited miscellaneous army, logistics supply troops, etc., responsible for food, grass, baggage and other things, these troops were scattered behind the 20,000 horses, but in fact, the number was several times that of the war army. It was they, together with the war army, that formed this "100,000 army".
On this trip, Li Laogen couldn't get any oil and water at all.
Because the grain traveled with the army, the firemen could only go to the grain cart to receive their daily share. If there is no buying and selling, where will the oil and water come from?
The fireman's team was shrouded in gloomy clouds and mist all day long, and even the porridge that was cooked was so rare that it could be used as a bronze mirror.
In their spare time, Li Laogen and Yang Dashan, who were familiar with each other, got together, and in a few words, they mentioned Liao You, who was responsible for going to Pingyuan City to buy fresh vegetables and raw meat every day—I don't know what the origin was, but he could be so good!
The words were full of jealousy.
This Liao You has a big black mole on his lips, and a handful of hair is left on the mole - this is not a serious person! I heard that he was related to the commander of the army this time. The two got closer again, and talked about the original commanders of these two legions, and now they have to obey the orders of the commander of the Zhendong general, I heard that they are not very old, and the dragon is not seen by the head, and no one knows what it looks like!
Li Laogen grinned and said in a low voice: "Maybe it's a girl!" Where does Liao You have any ability, why is he making a good errand? Lao Yang, take a look, what else is there on Liao You's face besides moles? Just a big nose, I heard, the nose is big, ** strong, eighty percent is in bed to serve that girl comfortably. ”
Yang Dashan knew that he was talking nonsense, but he couldn't hold back the fire of jealousy for this Liao You, and said with a strange smile: "Brother Li's words are very true, our two brothers are not at the right time, if he was born twenty years early, what is the matter with this Liao You!" Ha ha! ”
was venting happily, seeing that Liao You commanded a team of hundreds of people, and bought back dozens of pigs from Pingyuan City, cut the flesh and bones clearly, and the meat was stacked on top of each other on the carts, for the sake of Li Laogen and Yang Dashan, it was all white silver! With such a trip, you can make a few dozen taels of silver!
If this is in the city, the firemen have their own meat and vegetables, and they can always take some home to their wives and children...... Alas, it's just a few more bites than others.
Li Laogen looked at Liao You, who was high-spirited and commanded the recruits to climb up and down to carry meat and vegetables, and his heart was nameless, and he thought about it hatefully for a long time, and said, "Bah" and said: "Why don't you come and a few rebels rob this grain!" ”
