Episode 57; The old man is not simple

The seventh uncle kept looking at the thirteen corpses on the ground, and then looked at the group of teenagers who stopped beside him, and looked back and forth many times before he couldn't help but ask again;

"These are the bad guys who came to hang out during the day?"

Zhang Chengfeng quickly nodded in agreement;

"Yes, Taigong, it's them, I don't believe you can go up and check and verify it to know the truth and falsehood."

"Hmm. Let's take a look, old man. ”

The seventh uncle stepped forward to check as he agreed, and muttered without a word;

"Well, this skinny monkey old man saw it yesterday when he visited Wangzhuang."

"This face is very raw, I haven't seen it."

"Huh? This horse face is our Zhuangzi who came with the leader......"

"That's right, it's this Scarface, he's a leader, how many people have the old man seen in the north and south of the river, and he can't hide it from the old man, and the old man can see at a glance that this Scarface is a leader during the day."

The seventh uncle checked the thirteen corpses and made sure that they were the bad guys who had come during the day, so he pointed at the corpses on the ground with his cane and asked;

"You stabbed them to death?"

"Yes, Taigong, we stabbed them to death as soon as we swarmed them, we have a lot of strength, they will still die even if they come ten or eight, after all, I have more than a hundred people and horses."

"They are all veterans, you see that this Scarface's hands are full of calluses, which means that this is caught by Tie Shuo, this person is an old pawn, how could he be stabbed to death by a group of you dolls so easily?

And it didn't alarm the nearby villagers, and the old man really couldn't figure it out......"

Looking at Taigong's questioning look, Zhang Chengfeng asked unhurriedly;

"Taigong, when did your old man join the army, can you tell your grandson?"

"Oh, what's there to say about this? The old man was called into the army at the age of sixteen, and there is no adult in our neighborhood who does not know. ”

"Then Taigong, when did you kill the thief for the first time?"

When it was mentioned that the topic of a proud life, the old man immediately straightened his waist;

"Still sixteen years old, in the autumn three months after being called into the army, the old man stabbed the first thief to death in a fight, so he was rewarded by the king of our Chu State before, ~ Shi, and then my own land has never paid taxes in my life, or in the autumn of the year of sixteen, in another fight, the old man won two in a row, promoted to pawn, the whole family no longer pays taxes, gets these three houses, and from then on all the harvest of crops is their own, that is, the Qin State now has the world, and they all recognize that the Taigong's family property is lawful."

"Taigong, now that it is the world of the Qin State, do people still recognize your old man's military exploits?"

"Of course I admit it, I have admitted it in the previous military merits, not to mention that Taigong has also been a pawn of the Qin State."

"Ah, Taigong, you have also been a Qin soldier?"

"Yes, we used to belong to the Qin State here, and later belonged to the Chu State, and we always change back and forth, so the Taigong also served as a pawn of the Qin State,

Do you remember 10 years ago, or 11 years ago? Taigong forgot, that year the Qin State went to fight the Wei State Liang, and we were conscripted by the Qin State here, and the Taigong was already old and could be exempted from the military system.

At that time, a general heard the name of the Taigong, so he brought thirty carts of grain and asked me to escort the grain and grass to the battle array on the border of Qin and Wei.

Taigong couldn't withstand the temptation of the thirty carts of grain, so he went into battle from the new, and took more than 27,000 people who were recruited near us to embark on the road of escorting grain and grass. ”

"So Taigong, you have made military merits again, right, Taigong? You're amazing. ”

"Hahahaha, you doll, Taigong just likes you the most."

"It's a meritorious service, but I almost went to the underworld to sign up, the old man often walked by the river without getting his shoes wet, I have been careful and careful to take twenty or thirty thousand people to hurry, but I have also encountered the army of the Wei people twice, fortunately, there are not many people, the old man is clever, and he got two or three thousand veterans who had been soldiers in advance, plus there are so many croppers present, and finally the tiger escaped and hugged everyone's lives back.

The grain and grass were escorted to the place where they should go, and it was five days ahead of schedule, without delaying any major events, and the generals who had arranged that time had to adjust their plans, and they needed to arrive three days in advance to facilitate the change of plans.

As a result, I completed the task five days ahead of schedule, so in the ninth month after that time, the king of Qin rewarded me with a title, and sent the text and reward together, in our Zhuangzi.

Later, the prince was invited out twice, and he escorted grain and grass to the people of the Qin State three times, and killed five heads for the Qin State alone, and those merits and titles were registered in the Qin State, and they could be checked at any time. ”

"Wow! Taigong, you are really powerful, you were made a pawn at the age of sixteen, and your grandson is really envious, can't you? ”

Zhang Chengfeng knew the psychology of human beings, and pretended to have a face full of admiration, and the seventh uncle who watched it was very happy;

"Hahaha, you doll, it's really likable, don't you know, kid, in the team where Taigong was back then, the youngest pawn was Taigong me, hahahaha!"

After summarizing the old man's past, Zhang Chengfeng began to cut to the topic, because he knew that if he didn't convince this old man, it would be very troublesome, and if everyone in his village doubted him, what should outsiders do? Therefore, it is necessary to tell the prince not to be suspicious, believing that these people were stabbed to death by the teenagers.

"Taigong, you can kill thieves at the age of sixteen and make military achievements, you see that my subordinates are all sixteen years old, and there are dozens of young men who are twenty years old, and our farmers often work, all of them have the strength of their bodies, and it is normal to kill these bad people, Taigong, don't you say?"

After being reminded and induced, the old man turned around to look at a large number of children around him;

"It's not, it's really the first time I killed my grandfather back then, at an age."

"That's right, Taigong, there are still some twenty-year-olds, even at this age, they are still brothers at home, but they can't compare to the scenery of your twenties."

Zhang Chengfeng's flattering words immediately caused another wave of goodwill from the old man, and his proud face looked bullish;

"Of course! When the old man was twenty years old, he had already cut off five or six heads, and he did it alone, but he didn't ask Wu Li for any help, it was all the old man's own military exploits.

It's not that the old man underestimates you horses, compared with the old man back then, you more than 100 people stabbed these dozen horse bandits to death, hehe! Hehe, it's very insignificant. ”
