Chapter 11: Ambition
The new book is on the list, and the tubes will support them if they have votes, thank you!
On the square in front of the ancestral hall, the fire was blazing, and the scholars of the Zhu clan drank wine and ate meat in large pieces, rejoicing.
At the top of the square, a man in his thirties, dressed in a robe, carrying a two-foot bronze sword at his waist, and carrying a large bow behind him, sat on his knees, holding a wooden bowl in his hand, and the bowl was full of wine.
His name was Lin Ben, a warrior of the Nagisa clan, and the leader of this team.
At the moment, he had a smile on his face, and he was undoubtedly very happy.
Today, he thought it was a chore to clear the mountains and forests, but he didn't expect that this was such a good place, hiding so many wild people, and capturing them back as slaves was a great achievement, and what was even more rare was that the wild people were still so rich.
There is wine in the valley, the savages brew their own fruit wine, and meat, the bacon pickled after the hunters shoot the beasts, and the most valuable ones are the beast leathers, as well as the cattle and dolphins, chickens and ducks, and in addition, they store a lot of grain, enough for a few villages and hundreds of families to eat for a year.
On this trip, the whole harvest was, according to custom, Dr. Nagi would reward him partially.
But he also has greater ambitions in his heart, this valley that has been developed, the land is fertile, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Nagisa gives him a village, it will be a beautiful thing, whether it is a house building, fields and orchards, canal irrigation, are ready-made, a little management, can feed hundreds of households, thousands of people.
It's just that this has to be carefully planned, if Nagisa knows the inside story of this place, it must be kept for himself, how can he seal it out?
"It's all full, the second and third sons have made great contributions today, and there is wine, meat, and women in the evening, so you can enjoy it. ”
Full of pouring wine, although it is fruit wine, but it is also worth a lot of money, so he gave the inferior soldiers to eat and drink, he also has some flesh pain, but in order to care in his heart, he must buy people's hearts, and even pull them into the water, so thinking about it, it is nothing.
All the gentlemen thanked each other in unison and drank the wine in large gulps, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic for a while.
Lin Ben only took a sip, secretly thinking in his heart, these inferior warriors are undoubtedly easy to buy, so many fields, give them some is, the two elite swordsmen, but each take more, compared to the fields in the entire valley, there are not much, but there is only one person, it is not easy to deal with.
He glanced at the person sitting very stiffly on the left, a young man of about sixteen years old, who was the first person to be the one who should be joined by the outside today.
"At a young age, he was so ruthless, he was caught by me, and he immediately surrendered, and even took the initiative to kill his companions to gain my trust, and then took the initiative to lead the way, killing acquaintances without blinking his eyes, if it weren't for him, even if I could find this valley, it would not be easy to attack it. ”
In the firelight, he saw the young man's face, and the eyes on his face were faintly familiar.
In his eyes, there was a fire burning, that was ambition.
In this world, capable people have ambitions, and the monarch has ambitions, but Shen is too small, surrounded by big countries, and the national strength cannot be extended.
The doctors are ambitious, but the territory of the Shen Kingdom is only so big, and the monarch is strong, so they can only make up their minds with the surrounding doctors, so they fight to the death, in the direction of Yidi in the north, give them a little smell, and go up to grab it like a wild dog, and they really become the king's dog.
He also had ambitions to plan such a large village.
Therefore, ambition is not strange at all, and even doctors like ambitious subordinates, and if they are ambitious, they will do their best more.
But some ambitions will stand in the way, but they will hinder.
Lin Ben laughed, and the wine glass gestured to the young man from afar.
"Your name is the mountain toad, you come forward, this lord toasts you with a cup, today's matter, you are the first meritorious, and when you go back tomorrow, in front of Nagisa, you will definitely give you a meritorious service, Nagisa is good at punishment, and he will not hesitate to give it to a man with a sword." ”
"The man with the sword?" the mountain toad shuddered when he heard the great joy, he often went down the mountain, and knew what the man with the sword meant.
The so-called scholars cannot be compared with the doctors, in front of the doctors, they must also call themselves selfish, but for the savages, and the countrymen, they are already superior, and the people who hold the sword are swordsmen.
Ordinary warriors mostly use spears and bows and arrows, and only those who are in status, or those who have stroked elites, can use swords, which are swordsmen, and swordsmen are actually officers in the army, often the head of a team.
Above that, there are samurai and other kinds of talented people, among which the samurai are mostly very people, who are physically enlightened and powerful, and can be ten or even dozens of people, this kind of people are the objects that any aristocratic doctor must encompass, and they are often willing to pay a lot of money to hire relatives, and even do not hesitate to divide the estate.
Although the mountain toad has a little bit of martial arts, but the practice of martial arts to strengthen the body, after all, the system has not been obtained, the body has not been civilized, the samurai he dare not think, in the case of the Zhu clan, he is a newcomer, with his talents, and he does not dare to be arrogant, but to become a sword-wielding man, it is undoubtedly a good start.
He was so excited that his senses were extremely sharp on weekdays, and he didn't notice that Lin Ben's voice was actually not loud when he spoke, and no one else around him heard it, and he was still laughing loudly, drinking and eating meat, teasing and fiddling with the woman next to him.
He walked forward with a flushed face, and was about to drink with Lin Ben and say some words of thanks, but Lin Ben suddenly looked at him in surprise: "Mountain toad, the short blade on your waist is a little exquisite, take it over by the way, and I'll take a look." ”
The mountain toad didn't think about it, so he pulled out his short blade, but Lin Ben roared.
"Mountain villain, you are disrespectful to Lord Ben, and you still want to do it. ”
Lin Ben's roar, the sound was huge, and the bonfire that was impacted by the sound was stagnant, and in an instant, in the small square in front of the ancestral hall, all kinds of sounds stopped, and the warriors, swordsmen, including those disheveled women, were stunned by this sound.
They looked at the source of the sound, only to see that Lin Ben's face still had the righteousness and severity of the scolding, and the mountain toad standing in front of him seemed to be shocked by the impact of Lin Ben's scolding, holding a short blade in his hand, standing on the spot.
It's worthy of a samurai-sama, and even the voice of scolding is so powerful.
What happened? When was I disrespectful, when was I going to do it? The whole person of the mountain toad was stunned, his face was dull and confused in the firelight, and finally he suddenly turned into a terrified state.
He was a smart man, and he figured it out in an instant.
But at this point, it was too late to say anything.
Lin Ben laughed cruelly, the two-foot bronze short sword was unsheathed in an instant, and as soon as his body leaned forward, it pierced into his abdomen, penetrated directly, and then stirred it hard, this time, the mountain toad was not dead for a while, but it was painfully twisted. Lin Ben was not in a hurry, he left the sword in his body, and appreciated his expression before he died, before he pulled it out violently, splashing a stream of blood.
At the last moment, the mountain toad remembered what he had killed before, the young man who often bullied him, and when he killed him, he also admired it like this.
"Ahh
The mountain toad howled miserably, as if drunk, and as soon as his body staggered, he fell to the ground softly, and gradually lost his breath.
There was silence in front of the ancestral hall, and Lin Ben enjoyed the awe from all over his eyes, this awe, not only for his force, but also for the killing he had just made, there were also some people who understood, but only when they understood did they be even more awe-inspired.
The way to control the next is to give both grace and power, with this awe, and then talk about the right thing, pull everyone into the water, and the effect will only be better.
"Carry him down, continue to drink wine and eat meat, don't disturb the interest of tonight because of a villain. ”
"Ouch, there are snakes. ”
At this moment, his words fell, and several nearby soldiers were about to put down the wine and meat woman and go to carry the body of the mountain toad, when suddenly someone shouted.
Following the sound, the man who shouted the snake had fallen to the ground, his body twitching, and he couldn't live.
"What, snake?"
"Where is the snake?". ”
After the death of the mountain toad, the atmosphere that was about to be reheated suddenly became cold, and everyone was startled and got up and looked around, for fear of being bitten by a snake.
Lin Ben is quite calm, after all, this valley is also in the deep mountains, it is not strange to have snakes, and he is a samurai, his body has cultivated strength, and ordinary poisonous snakes can't help him at all. And at this time, he only thought it was just a snake, which was not surprising.
"Ouch. Silently, another soldier fell.
This warrior stood in a slightly dark place, and before anyone could even see the shadow of the snake, he was already unable to lie on the ground.
Lin Ben felt that something was wrong, snakes were afraid of people, as long as they were not stepped on or forced to be in a hurry, they generally did not bite.
Only those very powerful poisonous snakes will take the initiative to attack people, and they can bite down two soldiers one after another, and the snake that comes is so poisonous and ferocious that it is conceivable that he can't sit still at this time, and those soldiers are even more flustered.
"Don't panic, it's just a snake, and the two or three sons will light the torch to illuminate the surroundings, and as long as it comes out to bite, they will kill it. ”
Lin Ben came out to command, and everyone had the backbone of the heart, panicked a little, scattered and picked up torches, went to the bonfire to light it, and gathered in front of the ancestral hall, all eyes staring at the light, hoping to find the poisonous snake.
In the dark, there was a light, and there was a warrior Lin Ben next to him, everyone's hearts were a little calm, just waiting for the poisonous snake to come out again, and then beat it to death, but Lin Ben was uneasy, beyond the keen perception of ordinary people, and was faintly warning him.
As a samurai, he had experienced many dangers, often relying on his instinctive perception of danger to escape his life, and he could not have trusted this perception all the more.
The situation is not good, it is not as simple as a poisonous snake as those ordinary soldiers think.
He knew that he was being targeted by someone who was powerful enough to threaten him.
What is it, and where is it?
The long sword is at the waist, it can be drawn at any time, the long bow is in the hand, and his heart is moving, but his hand is faintly shaking, the most terrible enemy is not the enemy in person, but the unknown enemy hidden in the darkness, who may jump out at any time and kill it with a fatal blow.
"Could it be that the man who attacked and killed the lady of the king?" http://
