Volume 1 - The Beginning of Mind Cultivation Chapter 28 The Joining Army of the Lu Army
Located in the southernmost town of the Ming'e Kingdom on the edge of the sea in the forbidden state, the famous Jiajun, who has traveled here for a few days, is in a restaurant for the bureau incense building, holding a blue ink folding fan, half lying on a Taishi chair, and opposite it, sits Lu Qijun with a strict complexion.
The injuries suffered by Ming Jiajun and Bu Fanchen after the battle had long since healed, although he was forcibly absorbed by Bu Fanchen, causing him to fail to break through to the realm of Wuzong, but in the final analysis, this influence was not unacceptable to him.
Compared to that real storage ring with nearly a hundred cubic meters of space, he didn't feel a loss if he fell to the innate martial artist. This is a real storage ring, not the same as his own defective storage bag, it doesn't take too much time just to get things from the storage ring, and I heard Hua Yazi's predecessors say that the peerless powerhouse who never showed up just asked them not to let the power disturb the life of Chen Wa's family too much, just let it be.
Famous people are not stupid, and naturally know how to arrange them properly. For matchmaking, he has to be good at it even if he is not good at it.
After that battle, he found Lu Qijun, who had stayed at Chen Wa's house for more than ten days, after all, as soon as Bu Fanchen left, Lu Qijun was thick-skinned and had to leave Chen Wa's house.
After talking with Lu Qijun, he found that although this person had a fierce temperament, he was actually as careful as a hair, and from his conversation, Ming Jiajun could clearly feel the latter's strong desire to fight for a lifetime. According to his meaning, he is born in the world, and nothing can be died, except for dying on horseback, he can have no regrets, but he is a civilian, and he has no money and no power, and in the local area where there are relatively few wars, he does not even have the opportunity to join the army. Otherwise, he would have been an iron-clad soldier a long time ago, and perhaps his ideals would fit the army as his name suggests.
Glancing at the sunny complexion outside the window, Mingjiajun put away the folding fan and said solemnly: "Brother Lu, do you really have the heart to join the border army?"
Lu Qijun's face did not change, his hands clenched into fists, and he said solemnly for the question that this famous man had asked more than three times: "I hope the second prince will be fulfilled." β
"There are wars in the border army all year round, and many people will die every year, which is very dangerous, do you really no longer consider being my chamberlain? That would also fulfill your dream of joining the army, and being by my side will be somewhat beneficial to your cultivation, how can I treat that son's old man in my name and country?"
Ming Jiajun stared at Lu Qijun calmly, as if he wanted to catch a trace of hesitation from the other party's eyes, so that he could repay a little favor, and by the way, lay the groundwork for the uncertain future. It's just that Lu Qijun has never changed his mind about joining the army, and he has never hesitated from beginning to end.
There was still not much change in mood, and he said in a serious voice, "Thanks to Bu Gongzi for saving my life in prison, I am also grateful, and because of Gongzi, I was able to know the second prince, so that I could complete the dream of joining the army, I was already unable to repay such a great favor, so I still have the face to seek the beauty of the prince's inner servants? Please also ask the second prince to fulfill. β
Mingjiajun smiled lightly, thinking of the young boy who fought with him for life and death, he also didn't know until later that it was just a misunderstanding, now that he knew the reason, and received a terrible apology gift, he Mingjiajun is not a person with a small belly, there will be any resentment, and the last brick did not knock his own love, he still has to admit it.
Even if the affection of a small person like himself is insignificant to him, so what. According to Lu Qijun's meaning, that person attaches great importance to friendship, and Chen Wa is an example, so such a person, even if he doesn't have an identity, is worthy of his admiration.
Regarding Lu Qijun's choice, he knew that his mind had been decided, and it was not good to keep him, so he exchanged his heart for heart: "Except for the love of Bu Gongzi, Brother Lu, your personality is very much in line with my appetite, and letting you be a private servant is actually more selfish." Then he pointed to the world outside the window, and Mingjiajun said with a little undulating expression: "This seemingly vibrant Ming'er country, in fact, is already full of moths on the beams that support the family and country, and if it is not rectified, it will collapse sooner or later, and then it will be the real difficulty of the Ming'e country." β
Lu Qijun turned to look at the world outside the window, and fell into thought, since he was framed and imprisoned, he has not been able to kill the enemy with his own hands, he is actually somewhat disappointed in this country, of course, he is disappointed by some people in this country, not this country, on the contrary, this strengthens his idea of serving the country in the army.
There were a few heavy looks on his face, and he replied: "Above the court, the complexity of people's hearts is not something that Lu can speculate about now, fortunately, the day when the second prince finally has more authority, Lu also sincerely hopes that the lord of a country can be a monarch with all the people in his heart like the second prince." Lu said sincerely, if there are words that offend the heavenly family, please also invite the second prince Haihan. β
Mingjiajun glanced at Lu Qijun, sighed deeply, and said with emotion: "If there are a few more people like Brother Lu in my country, then even if there are a few moths, what's the matter, it's just that the way of the world is always unpleasant." The light of people's hearts is often ignored in the corners, and the darkness that destroys the heart can often stand on a high place, constantly corroding the society that originally had people's hearts upward. β
Lu Qijun hugged his fists and said: "The second prince has a good reputation"
Today, it is rare to meet a person who admires him, the heart of a famous man who is only nineteen years old, is like a dam that has already been under negative pressure, and Lu Qijun is an opportunity for him to open the dam in his heart.
He is also a human being, he also has his own heart to confide in, but for so many years, in addition to Hua Yazi, the nominal dragon protector is actually his mentor, even his mother He doesn't want to talk to her, of course, he also understands his mother's thoughts, how can there be too much woman's benevolence in her position, he has to be busy with the battle of the harem all day long, and he always thinks about how to help him plan the future battle for the throne, so even though his mother has always been strict in his heart, he has never complained, after all, it is a woman who has devoted her life to him, although she can't give him too much warmth, but she gave him a safe environment to grow up, and he is still alive is the best explanationγ
He understands that no matter what kind of emotion you have, you have to take life as the premise. It was also a blessing to meet Lu Qijun, so he wanted to say more today, after all, see you later, who knows if it is a thing or a person?
"No matter what, I hope you can live, and there will be hope if you live. Mingjiajun said with confidence.
Lu Qijun's expression eased, a trace of gratitude crossed his eyes, picked up the wine jug on the side, handed a look to Mingjiajun, and drank to himself.
For him, some gratitude from the heart is difficult to speak, he Lu Qijun seems to be thick-skinned, but the most annoying and least thing in his life is to say comforting words, even if he is grateful in his heart, it is difficult for him to say that kind of sensational words, so often when this kind of sensationalism, he chooses to avoid it, and at the moment, because of the wine, I have to use the strong wine in the pot to replace the feeling in my heart.
In the afternoon, Mingjiajun returned to the imperial capital Jingtian City alone. Before leaving, he left a jade pendant for Lu Qijun, and told Lu Qijun to use this jade pendant to find Zhu Qinyou, the general of the town guard in Longtan Border Town.
The general would have arranged for him to enlist in the army, but at the same time, he also told him that the general's character had always been jealous and hateful. In his troops, only warriors who really dare to kill the enemy on the battlefield have a chance to climb up.
And his soldiers are almost all elites of the family and country who are keen to throw their heads and spill their blood, so his soldiers have always been known for their fierceness and fear of death.
This made Lu Qijun not discouraged, but very satisfied, after all, this is the army that he has been ideal since he wanted to join the army, and only in this kind of army, he Lu Qijun will show his male nature, knowing that Mingjiajun knows this very well, so he brought him here thousands of miles away, and he was sincerely grateful, and he drank two pots of spirits to express his gratitude.
On the second day, Lu Qijun tidied up his outfits, took the token jade pendant, and rushed to the barracks guarded by the border army.
Due to the mountainous terrain, the town of Longtan did not have a tall city wall, and only rows of old camp tents stood lonely at the foot of the mountain on the border with neighboring countries. A few hundred meters away in front of the camp tent, there is the national border, and under the mountain behind the camp tent, is the border town of Longtan.
Crossing the hill and looking into the distance, the neatly arranged camp tents below gave Lu Qijun a sense of awe. Just looking at that barracks, that kind of chilling blade military intent really shocked Lu Qijun's mind.
Since he was a child, he has dreamed of joining the army and serving his family and country, but he has always been only talking on paper, let alone joining the army, and he has never even seen a real army. When I saw it today, it was the breath I longed for the most in my heart, and my heroic emotions arose spontaneously, and I shouted while speeding up:
Xiao Zhan follows the golden drum,
Yomian hugs the jade saddle.
Straight for the chopping of Loulan.
Before he got close to the barracks, Lu Qijun noticed several waves of scouts and was secretly observing him. Because of his interest in military affairs, Lu Qijun's theoretical knowledge and intuition about this aspect are very high, and only then did he find a little trace of those scouts. Knowing that this was the most basic defense in the barracks, Lu Qijun didn't care, and continued to hurry with a calm expression.
There is a specific period of recruitment for the Nagera Army every year, and the current season happens to be the end of the conscription.
Because the border guards in Longtan Town have been martial for many years, each session of the enlistment is very lively, basically in the enlistment has not yet begun, people who want to sign up have been prepared in advance, but also because it is a border defense, small wars are frequent, the need for fresh blood here is higher, which leads to most of the conscripts, except for special reasons, can basically enlist, of course, in the end can stay in Zhu Qinyou's army, naturally not much, this and the Lu Qi Army's ferry town is a completely different situation.
In the past, the enlistment time was generally one and a half months, but at the Longtan border, most of the time the enlistment would basically end about a month after it began.
Today happens to be the penultimate day of the application for the end of the application, and it seems that no one has come to apply. Even those recruits who have been registered for many days have already started simple selection training, which makes Lu Qijun particularly eye-catching when he goes to the registration office.
Holding the deed of his identity, he handed it to the two dark-skinned veterans who knew the sun all year round at the registration office, suppressed his excited thoughts, and quietly waited for the results.
One of the soldiers, who had obvious knife marks on the back of his hand, took the deed of the Lu Qi Army and looked at it carefully. Instead of using the local dialect, he asked in confusion in the official language of the country: "Lu Qijun, a person from the western part of Linhai, why did he come to my Longtan border to join the army?"
Lu Qijun knew that this was an inevitable process, so he couldn't help but be puzzled, so he didn't choose to take out the jade pendant, but replied with a calm expression: "Lu's hometown is near the sea, and it is not easy to join the army, and although Longtan is located in the south, it is only more than 600 miles away from Lu's small town.
The most important thing is that General Zhu is a person, and he has long been spread all over the country. The troops under his command are known for their bravery, which makes Bu Mou have long been yearning, so he took the risk to come here to join the army, and he also hopes that the two little brothers Haihan, of course, Fu Yuan's joining the army does have many suspicious points, so Lu Mou is also ready to answer. β
The two glanced at each other and continued to ask, "Then how did you get the official seal of this Longtan?"
Lu Qijun's expression became more and more sincere, and he replied: "Lu met a noble man in his hometown, and after knowing that Lu had the intention of joining the army, he made it clear to Lu that the people of Longtan Town were simple, and he took special care of those who joined the army, so he asked Lu to take the official seal of his family as proof, plus his guarantee, so that he could be printed" After speaking, he did not forget to take out the local official seal of Linhai Town, this kind of official seal has its own uniqueness, if outsiders are very easy to detect, this is nothing to doubt, anyway, they will be verified one by one in the later stage.
And because it is located on the border, the residents of Longtan Town who join the army cannot meet the number requirements of the army, so most of the time, in addition to the troops sent by the state every year, they themselves also have to recruit soldiers from other places, so there are not a few people who come from other places to sign up, but the Lu Qi army in front of them is really too far away.
Just as the two inspectors were about to speak, a deep voice sounded in the distance: "Most of my Longtan registration habits were completed in the previous month, could it be that your noble man didn't tell you about it, or is he not a local?"
When the two inspectors heard the sound, they saw that the person who came was seven feet tall, with a face of Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big knife behind him. I saw that after Chang Long nodded slightly, the two soldiers who verified the information sat in place and stopped talking.
Lu Qijun carefully looked at the person in front of him, and at a glance he knew that it was a person who had been bathing in death all the year round, just from his deep eyes, and the cold breath that seemed to be nothing, he could know that the person in front of him was General Zhu's blade Changlong. A little admiration rose in Lu Qijun's eyes, and he replied with a fist: "General Huichang, I came here today because of the delay on the road, and I definitely didn't intend to challenge the customs of joining the army here, and I hope General Chang will forgive me." β
When Chang Long got the news, he had been waiting for the landing army for a long time, and seeing that the latter's answer was not leaky, he deliberately threw bricks and said: "Then what token did your old man give you to ensure that you can definitely enter the army?"
Lu Qijun was a little surprised, thinking of the jade pendant that Mingjiajun and he handed over to him before leaving, after a short hesitation, he said with a firm expression: "My generation of men joined the army and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it was for the sake of his true husband, I have no background in Lu, only full of enthusiasm, if I can't meet the standards for joining the army, I can only blame myself for my lack of ability, and I won't be too sorry to miss it." As for the tokens, there is only a letter of admonition from a friend to someone Lu, and nothing else. β
Chang Long stared at Lu Qijun with a smile and continued to ask, "Then have you ever thought about what kind of troops you want to do?"
Without any consideration, Lu Qijun blurted out: "Charge into battle, the one with the highest military merit." β
"I don't think you're like a person who can only show the courage of a horseman, your brain is not stupid, why don't you choose a career if you want to gain fame?" Chang Long asked with a little doubt.
"If a country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil? The ambition of a contemptible person's life is all on the battlefield, even if the horse leather shroud, it is better than becoming a scribe who sits and eats and waits for death, and only uses a pen to say that the world is strong. Lu Qijun replied with a serious expression.
Chang Long smiled knowingly, turned to leave, and said to the two inspectors as he walked, "Put the name Lu Qijun in the death camp." β
Unlike the tiger-backed bear in the imagination of outsiders, Zhu Qinyou looks very quiet, and compared to Chang Long, his body is very slender. The appearance is not as dark as most of the men in the army, although it is close to about forty people, but the water chestnut and facial features are still full of charm, and they are definitely handsome men.
In the general's tent, he stared at the huge map hanging with his eyes, turned his back to Chang Long, and said slowly: "How?"
Chang Long's expression was calm, there was not a trace of ripples on his face, and he replied solemnly: "I didn't take out that jade pendant, looking at his words, his thinking is clear, and his ambition is strong." β
Zhu Qinyou: "It seems that you are quite disgusted, why, don't you usually like to go through the back door the most?"
Chang Long smiled lightly and said: "I like his sentence, the life and death of the country is profitable, how can you avoid it because of misfortune and fortune, his opinion of the literati is very appetizing to me." β
Zhu Qinyou: "If your guess is right, are you going to let him enter your death camp?"
Chang Long smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "It's not preparation, it's already." It's just that I'm worried that the danger of the death camp is too great, and it's not easy for the second prince to explain. β
"Why, if you and I die, the friend of the second prince will not die?" After speaking, he turned around and added again, "Jiajun also hopes so in the letter, he seems to like this friend quite a lot, so he is willing to support him."
Lu Qijun, what kind of military method is it" Zhu Qinyou said with a cold expression, then smiled, and waited for it to hatch into a tiger.
