With a snap, flames rose from a plastic piezoelectric lighter, lighting a crumpled golden Nanjing cigarette. The fire was lit by Xu Le, who was smiling like a flower, and the cigarette was a man dressed in a black linen shirt, tied with a leather belt, a pair of gray animal skin boots on his feet, and his hair tied in a bun on the top of his head. There was also a sharp sword in his waist. A knight of the Righteous Army with a simple and rough face, black hair and black eyes, and a strong and sturdy body.

He took a deep breath of the aroma and was intoxicated for a while, before he spewed out the smoke and said with a smile: "I heard that the Qi people also have this thing called the intoxicating grass, how many people in the Qi capital Lintao City swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, and today I have seen this intoxicating grass." ”

He nodded the lighter in Xu Le's hand again: "This is a fire-starting appliance made by the craftsman Han? It is really small and exquisite, and it looks very valuable." Our Yi'er Army has a few wooden oxen and horses made by the craftsman Han, which cost the lord a lot of money, and he was reluctant to use it easily, so he didn't bring it out this time. ”

Xu Lezheng smiled and threw a few cigarettes to the other black-clothed knights who were monitoring a few people in his house, and set them on fire one by one. Hearing the man say a few new terms, he kept it in his heart. He casually threw the lighter to the man and said with a smile: "It's not worth anything, just take it." ”

The man played with it again and threw the lighter back: "The people in our Yi'er army, our own belongings, are either planted by slaves in the Zhuangzi, or rewarded for meritorious service in the battle array, or captured from the enemy. The others are not their own, and they don't look at it properly. In the future, Brother Xu, you will also be the private subordinate of the Lord, and you will be born as a civilian, and you will not be able to join the Righteous Army in the future. The backbone of the Yi'er army has to be learned first. ”

Xu Le smiled and said no more, and put the lighter back.

Since the early morning after packing up and going on the road, it has been noon all the way, and the Yi'er Army Brigade has traveled very fast, and the road of more than 20 kilometers has been walked down. Except that Xu Le didn't feel tired when he was riding on the horse and could keep up. The other guys couldn't hold it anymore and fell crookedly on their horses.

The black-clothed knights of the rebel army who monitored Xu Le and the others seemed to have really received some explanations, and they were quite polite to Xu Le and the others. Since I couldn't keep up, I pulled down a few miles with them, and now I took a break on the side of the road.

Along the way, Xu Le talked to the knights of the Righteous Army who were monitoring him, and with the character of Xu Dami in the southeast, he talked freely and cheerfully, and he actually had a very good appetite for these knights of the Righteous Army. Along the way, he actually talked very happily, and then he began to smoke and drink without separating his family, and he learned a lot about the world.

The place where Xu Le and the others went was an important town under the rule of the Qin State, and it was only a hundred miles away from the national capital Qiyang - Xu Le confirmed that the miles used here were similar to the distance of Huali on the earth.

Most of Qiyin is the fief of the Shi family, and the Shi family is the important minister who went west to Rongqi to expand the land for thousands of miles with the Marquis of Qin Yuan at that time hundreds of years ago. The Shi family has always been not prosperous, but there is a tradition of adopting orphans and orphans who have been displaced due to famine, war, and various reasons, or even the same as the tribes of the Western Wilderness. Over the years, there has been an additional army of righteous children who are fierce and good at fighting, which is the private army of the historian and the strong army of the Qin State.

The Yi'er army was divided into two wings, with five hundred men on each wing. One wing governs five songs, and each song has 100 people. One song and ten tuns. This guy called Peng Ma, who had a good conversation with Xu Lepan, was a tun commander on the left wing of the Yi'er Army.

That Shi Bao is the left-wing winger, and the girl who wielded the earth-shattering sword is called Shi Yao, who is the right-wing winger.

As for Nangong An, he doesn't have any identity in the Yi'er Army. He is a fief closer to the national capital Qiyang, and he is also the bloodline of the Nangong family in Xiancheng, the most prosperous city in the Qin State, and his identity is no worse than Shi Wuju. In the Yi'er Army, it's just because of his friendship with Shi Wuju to help.

In addition to the Qin State, the one separated from the Qin State by a wasteland in the northeast is the Zhao State. The State of Zhao seemed to be much stronger than the State of Qin, but Xu Le claimed to have fled from the State of Zhao, so he didn't dare to inquire much about it.

Qin Zhao was west of Rongqi, and there were many more countries east of Rongqi. The people in these countries are collectively known as the people of Donghua.

On the other hand, the wasteland between Qin and Zhao still extends endlessly to the west, and there are also many nomadic tribes in the wasteland, bounded by the Wuju River. To the south are the Ghost Fang Tribes, and to the north are the Rouran Tribes that almost killed Xu Le last night.

Peng Ma didn't know much about the situation in other countries, and he didn't have much interest in talking about it. said a lot about Qin's domestic affairs, as if he really regarded Xu Le as his future colleague.

From his words, it can be vaguely understood that the Qin State was basically in a period when the aristocratic feudal system was stronger than the centralized system. In addition to holding official positions at all levels in the country, the nobles in the country also have their own feudal titles, each has their own private subordinates, and the most powerful ones even have private armies. Shi Jiayi'er's army can only rank second among the private army, and what makes Peng Ma's words full of unconvincing is also a Qin State Ruishi, who belongs to Qin Zhong, the king of Heyang, and Qin Zhong is the cousin of the current Qin Hou.

The power directly led by the Marquis of Qin today is only afraid that it is not as good as this army of sharp soldiers.

Under the private family of the secretary and doctor, it is divided into three classes: the public and the people, and the common people are slaves. Each level has its own differences, about Xu Le's inexplicable acquisition of a private family of the Shi family, the people are divided into upper, middle and lower three classes, if Xu Le is a citizen from the beginning, that is, he can get almost equivalent to about six hundred acres of land on the earth from the master's family, and up to six slaves can be used. An annual tax equivalent to roughly 40% of the output of the fields is payable. When recruiting into the army, you must bring your own weapons and mounts to recruit, and you cannot bring your own private slaves to join the army.

Above the people, there are also three classes of officials. It is nothing more than that more land is obtained from the master's family, more slaves who can be served, and those who are recruited into the army can bring their own private slaves. Moreover, the priest can leave the lord's house, become a prominent man in the country, and even establish himself as a gatekeeper. However, in recent years, with the weakening of the Marquis of Qin, the major high-ranking gates have monopolized the resources of the Qin State, and there are almost no such self-supporting lords.

Above the public scholar, he is a secretary and a doctor, and if the rank is poor, he is the real nobleman of the Donghua Kingdom!

Peng Ma took another deep breath of cigarette and spit it out intoxicatedly: "Brother Xu, you can kill an Alan Tian warrior in the Wild Gang this time, and you must also be a martial artist." Working towards joining the Righteous Army is to join the Righteous Army, not only is he exempt from paying taxes, but even if he is a civilian, he can resist in front of the public soldiers. Not to mention that I never hesitate to win the battle and the Lord rewards me, I joined the Yi'er Army for two years, and I was promoted from a subordinate to a superior soldier, and then accumulated some merits, as long as I don't die, wouldn't it be that the Peng family also produced a public soldier?...... If you wait until you are called to join the army, what is the point of being those miscellaneous army auxiliaries, even if they are long and long? Rouran has committed a lot of offenses in the past few years, and the Yi'er army has suffered serious losses, and now the two wings add up to more than 600 people, Qiyin doesn't know how many people are staring at the Lord when to fill the vacancy, Brother Xu has this ability, why not try? Brother Xu is a cheerful person, and I have an appetite for my brother, so I say this, and I am reckless, don't blame my brother for being reckless. ”

Xu Le scratched his head and said with a smile: "The man walks step by step, and when he settles down in the Qin State, he will talk about other things." What's the use of boasting about Haikou now?"

Peng Ma patted his thigh: "That's right! I've seen a lot of those who boast about their ability to talk about things, but they pee their pants when they are in battle." Brother Xu is telling the truth!"

Then he patted his ass and got up, and beckoned, "Enough rest, it is time to go, and hurry back to the camp before dark, so that the Lord will not wait for them." ”

As he spoke, he cherished the cigarette butt and wanted to put it in the purse hanging from his waist.

Xu Le smiled, took out a few packs of crumpled cigarettes, threw them at Peng Ma and the black-clothed knights one by one, and threw an extra lighter at Peng Ma.

Peng Ma took it in his hand and wanted to throw it back, Xu Le turned around and left: "It's all men, less about those mothers-in-law and mothers." When I arrived in the Qin Kingdom, my eyes were black, I will go to your house to eat if I haven't eaten, and you will have to take care of your fullness!"

Peng Ma laughed and put it away: "Brother Xu, just come!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A team of more than 10 people wandered southward, Peng Ma and they either had someone in front of them to lead the way, or someone was watching after the break, coming and going like the wind, and the agility was abnormal.

Xu Le and the others got together on the horse, and Xu Le muttered something to Cai Hengwen. And Cai Hengwen lay on the saddle, took a notebook and a pen, and wrote down the information that Xu Le inquired about one by one.

Su Ming walked in front with his head stuffy, Wang Dengke frowned sadly, took his own clothes and padd the saddle thickly, and insisted with grinning teeth. Lai Wenzhen swayed on the horse, just looking at the pile of jade in his hand and smiling.

Everyone's mood seems to have improved a lot, at least they accepted the semi-forced companions of the Shi family to go to Qiyin, and from then on, they will be the private family of the Shi family, and they will not be able to return to the earth for the time being.

Because I have seen some of the harvests in Donghua, the pile of jadeite in Lai Wenzhen's hands is mostly a bean seed and a glutinous seed that is not very valuable, but there is also a piece of ice seed and a piece of high ice seed. According to the skyrocketing price of jadeite on the earth in 2011, if you find the right way, hundreds of thousands of dollars can be sold.

Cai Hengwen wrote down the last stroke, straightened up and frowned, "There is nothing about the Donghua power system?"

Xu Le shook his head: "This Peng Ma himself is not a martial artist, and he didn't say much to this place, so I don't want to ask more." Anyway, there are many people in Qiyin, and there is always a way to find out. ”

Cai Hengwen smiled bitterly: "In this Donghua, strength is fundamental......"

Xu Le smiled faintly, but secretly clenched his fists.

The person leading the way in front suddenly shouted: "Climb over this hill and you will reach the camp!"

Hearing this greeting, the black knights of the Rebel Army cheered loudly. Xu Le couldn't help but speed up the speed of the mount.

The procession swerved upward, and after a short time it had crossed the top of the hill and saw a valley in front of them. The valley was bustling with activity, and it was a large group of Rebel soldiers who were packing up the camp, and large herds of sheep and horses, or even a few domesticated wolves, had been driven out of the pens. Hundreds of old and frail women of the Rouran people, also dressed in tattered clothes and brown pigtails, were driving the cattle, and still doing all the odd work, carrying all kinds of supplies that had been seized from their tribe by the rebels.

The knights of the Righteous Army rode on their horses with indifferent expressions and watched these Rouran people, and some of them moved a little slowly, just whipping them over.

The other guys finally managed to catch up, their eyes wide as they saw them. Wang Dengke's eyes immediately fell on those soft women, these soft women's clothes were so tattered that they couldn't hide the spring light exposed, everyone was deep eyes and high noses, some of them had upright and beautiful facial features, and a circle of pigtails added some exotic style, and their figures looked quite fit.

"Damn, you're good-looking...... This is no worse than Xiaoli...... Maybe it's even stronger with makeup and clothes!"

Someone at the bottom of the valley was already greeting: "Old Peng, why did you come? We almost went back to Qiyin! These people under your name have also been divided by us!"

Peng Ma scolded with a smile, leaned over and patted Xu Le on the shoulder: "Brother Xu, Rouran is a good woman, her waist is very strong, she is doing heavy work in Zhuangzhong, and she can withstand tossing on the bed." When the time comes, find me, I will accompany you to the slave market to pick a few good ones, whatever you want!"

Xu Le took a deep breath.

This Donghua world is a world where the identity is far apart, and the strong are respected! If you want to stand out in this world, you can only have great strength! Only by having the confidence to see this magnificent new world! And you can't wait to see more!
