Volume 1 Beacon Troubled Times Section 5 Joining the Army

Luo Yu looked at the bearded man in front of him, it was hard to imagine that this was the famous Niu Jinda, his eyes were very sharp, staring at it made people feel furious, but fortunately, he looked away after just one glance, Luo Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it is better to play less in front of such a person.

Niu Jinda saw at a glance that Luo Yu was not a soldier, his style did not look like a military army, half-lying and leaning on the head of the bed, the forehead wrapped in bandages was still blood-red, and under the service of Shan'er, there was a mouthful of porridge, maybe the wound on the forehead was still painful, and he grinned from time to time, but he didn't shout pain, which was very good for Niu Jinda's taste, he smiled: "Boy, yes, a man bleeds without tears, tell me, how did you get to that tree?" ”

This is the standard Guanzhong tone, Luo Yu saw that he didn't have a shelf, and hurriedly smiled and said: "The general praised it, the kid was in the jungle and his grandfather depended on each other, he went out a few days ago and never came back, the kid was worried, so he came out to look for it, he didn't want to be in danger in the jungle, he was chased by fierce beasts, and finally escaped and recuperated in the wooden house. I saw General Li show his might from afar, capturing the enemy chieftain alive, I don't know if the soldiers were careless, but they didn't find the kid, and it also gave the man in black a chance, seeing him with a bow aimed at General Li, the situation was urgent, and he had to jump down to interfere with the man in black, I didn't expect that my three-legged cat kung fu was not as good as one of the hundred, I was afraid that he would hurt people again, and his hands had nowhere to force, so he could only hit him with his head, so it was like this......" Luo Yu said this, smiled bitterly and pointed to the bandage on his head, saw Niu Jinda looking at him with a smile, and said: "General, The cause and effect of this matter have been explained beforehand, please tell General Li that the kid's injury is fine, don't worry about it anymore, it's a big deal to go out and wear a mask in the future......"

I have practiced this passage in my heart for a long time, and I said it in the way of the ancients, I was tired to death, although I was a little nervous, but there was no major flaw, I didn't want to cause trouble to the old man, I didn't want to cause trouble to him, the things in my backpack The old man had seen it, but no one in the barracks had seen it, those things couldn't be explained clearly, and I thanked Li Xiuning eight hundred times in my heart, how could I be so reasonable?

Li Xiuning had already asked Li Xiuning to take the mobile phone, and now it is being placed under the pillow, I don't have time to look at it, and I don't know if there is any power, after all, it has been on standby for three days.

After listening to this, Niu Jinda nodded noncommittally, just told Shan'er to take care of it, and then went out of the tent.

Li Xiuning had already written the fold, and when he saw the ox coming in and out, he was busy giving him the fold, which was nothing more than the soldiers fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and she only did not go out after the army, the credit for this victory belongs to all the soldiers, a lot of routines, and the last sentence is the point: Li Jiashi received the emperor's grace, and it was difficult to appease him, and everything he did should be, and he did not remember the merits of the soldiers, and hoped to check the merits of the soldiers to show the national courtesy.

Niu Jinda nodded after reading it, handed it back to Li Xiuning, and pointed to the tent where Luo Yu lived: "How credible is what this kid said?" I don't think people are so easy to look at, and his things are never so simple! ”

Li Xiuning said: "Uncle Niu, there is no evidence witness to what he said, listening to his conversation, it is definitely not from an ordinary family, you are well-informed, whether there was a big Confucian family surnamed Luo in the previous dynasty, no one knows where his grandfather is now, and even whether this person exists or not, however, I understand, after all, we have only known each other for two days, and it is impossible for him to tell us everything." ”

Niu Jinda said with a smile: "It's the old man's appearance, the surname Luo is a big surname, there are one or two Hongru who don't want to be a big name, everyone is not surprised, as far as the old man knows, there was no official surnamed Luo in the previous dynasty, and the people in the field don't know, he is dressed in strange clothes, and the dress is completely different from today's people, you find no, although he said it lively, but he has been turning us away, for fear of getting into trouble in the future, he should save you should also be the result of weighing, don't mention it, I want to see the risks in this world, leave a way back for yourself, you see, After arriving in Chang'an, he will definitely find one thing to separate from us, are you sure to keep him? ”

Li Xiuning sneered: "Uncle Niu, do you also see it?" If it is really like what he said, he was so frightened by us that he hid in the tree, there is nothing, but only he knows what the truth is, I will find a way to make him say it, and his life-saving grace has to be repaid, even if he doesn't want to cause trouble, but I will let trouble come to him! ”

Niu Jinda laughed and said: "You have a lot of ideas, if he is the talent you think, don't be careful, it's better to be sincere about feelings, you try your best to win him over, if he values feelings, he will stay to help you." ”

Li Xiuning nodded yes, chatted with Niu Jinda for a few more words, then said goodbye and left, and walked towards Luo Yu's tent. Luo Yu knew in his heart that he didn't know how to explain many things in order not to make Li Xiuning and Niu Jinda suspicious, he obviously felt that Li Xiuning didn't believe what he said, and Niu Jinda was even smarter, even if he had any thoughts, he didn't show it.

"Master Luo, the army will return to Chang'an tomorrow morning, what are your plans?" When Li Xiuning came in, Luo Yu was looking at the mobile phone, the battery of the domestic machine is durable, after turning on the airplane mode, there is still 60% power after three days of standby, he saw Li Xiuning coming, quickly hid the mobile phone under the pillow, looked up and said to Li Xiuning: "General, I came out to find my grandfather, I came to the army by chance, and now my wound has not healed, I want to stay and heal the wound and then find a way to find his old man." ”

Li Xiuning thought for a while: "My Li family will do their best to find your grandfather, do you have a portrait of him?" ”

Luo Yu didn't know what to say, he suddenly came here alone, where did he come from his grandfather who depended on each other? Originally, it was made up to explain how to survive in the jungle, and the image of a kind and kind grandfather was invented. Of course, there is also the shadow of his grandfather in the later life, if you want to say that the portrait is really there, the photo of the grandfather in the mobile phone.

Thinking of this, he said: "General, I can't say anything about my affairs in one or two sentences, my grandfather left me a lot of things, this box is one of them, general, please take a look!" Luo Yu knew that Li Xiuning had always wanted to ask about the mobile phone, and now that he had the opportunity, he would tell her about this quick portrait, and as for the rest, it would be better not to say it.

Light up the screen, open the photo album, point to a picture and say, "This is my grandfather, the artist can draw it!" Li Xiuning's eyes were bigger than the copper bell, this portrait is really beautiful, a seventy or eighty-year-old man by the stream is washing the mud on his hands, the moment he raised his head, his wrinkled face shone in the sun, with a bright smile, looking at the person who painted him with pity, the surrounding pastoral scenery is in full view, even the ripples of the stream seem to have a soul, what kind of superb painting skills do you need to draw a book?

Luo Yu saw that she had been looking at the photo, and hurriedly took back the phone and said, "General, this is a machine that draws things quickly, don't move, I can draw a picture for you right away!" After speaking, without waiting for Li Xiuning to react, he turned on the camera and took a picture of her.

Li Xiuning was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at the mobile phone handed over by Luo Yu, the people on it were charming, who was it if it wasn't him? This blink of an eye is well drawn, and it is still so real. Luo Yu didn't wait for her to take a closer look, and asked again: "General, there are painters in the army." ”

Li Xiuning came back to her senses, blushed and replied, "Yes, I can draw." ”

Luo Yu smiled: "Then hand it over to the general, there is another request below......"

Li Xiuning said: "But it's okay to say, you're welcome." Luo Yu pointed to the clothes on his body and said, "Can you help find clothes that fit, I feel weird about this dress now......"

Li Xiuning said with a smile: "Yesterday, Shan'er has measured the size of your clothes, and there are tailors in the army who are rushing to make them, so I have just called Shan'er to go over and get them." As he spoke, he turned around and took a pen and paper from the low table, and after studying the ink, he looked at Luo Yu's mobile phone, indicating that he was ready to start drawing.

Luo Yu hurriedly turned on his mobile phone and enlarged his grandfather's picture to the full screen, so that Li Xiuning could see the details clearly, and only need to draw the upper body to find a portrait of someone, now there is no paint, it doesn't take long to outline a general outline, Li Xiuning's pen is like the wind, and he has already drawn it with just a cup of tea, and his sketching skills really don't have to be said, and there are seven or eight images with the photos.

Luo Yu sighed in his heart, cocked his thumb and praised, Li Xiuning said embarrassedly: "I was born in a princely family, I have practiced martial arts diligently since I was a child, and I have to dabble in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise I can't stay in the honorable group at all, I am either practicing or writing on weekdays, and there are special professors in female red, this portrait is painted in a hurry, and it will be more like your grandfather after it will be colored, you can rest assured, I will definitely explain this matter, I hope to find his old man as soon as possible." ”

Luo Yu thanked him, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart: You have the ability to find my grandfather more than a thousand years later, and I will give you eight bows and bows. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad, grandparents, parents, everything in the future, maybe I will never see them again, and I don't know if they live well or not, and they can't bow down, it's really unfilial.

Li Xiuning saw that Luo Yu was in a low mood, thinking that he was watching out for his grandfather, so he was relieved: "Don't worry, I will distribute the portraits, there are many caravans here in the Li family, they will definitely be able to find them!" But you came out to look for his old man, what if he goes back and can't find you? Now that your injuries are not healing so quickly, what are your plans for the future? ”

This is the second time Li Xiuning asked Luo Yu about his plans for the future, he couldn't help but think to himself, he came to this era alone, his body has become younger, but his mentality has remained in his thirties. But in this era, he does not have these burdens for the time being, according to the course of history, the troubled times are coming soon, rather than eating and waiting for death, it is better to do a great career vigorously. The Li family has many talents, from Li Yuan to Li Shimin are the masters of great talents, under their hands, there is no need to worry about the rabbit dead and the dog cooking, the end of the bird is hidden, Yang Guangdong's expedition is destined to be defeated, at this time, he went to Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate to kill his brother and kill his brother, and forced Li Yuan to give way There are still more than ten years, with the historical process he knows, he should be able to accumulate enough credit, and at that time he will have a clear conscience when he eats and waits for death.

As for the idea of raising troops against the Sui and then founding the country and Kaiyuan, in front of a British lord like Li Shimin, it is better not to have it, so as not to be pushed to the guillotine when the time comes. Political sensitivity is about talent, Luo Yu knows that he does not have this kind of talent, the military can learn from various military ideas of later generations, learn and use it, and it is safer to use martial arts to eat and wait for death, even if you make a mistake, the emperor may also think of putting a way out for you to work hard for him. The concept of equality for all generations in the future is absolutely right here, and it must be changed.

Thinking of this, he said to Li Xiuning: "General, don't worry, I left a note for his old man, and he will know that I came out when he sees it, I don't have any plans now, do you have a proposal?" He kicked the ball to Li Xiuning, wanting to hear what she thought, no matter how well Luo Yu behaved, just getting along in the past two days, it was not worth Li Xiuning's condescension to win over, did she know that Luo Yu would definitely be able to help the Li family?

Li Xiuning smiled and said: "You draw a map of where you live, and I will send someone to wait there, in case he goes back, he can take it and enjoy it." After a pause, he said, "Have you considered that my Li family will join the army?" Don't worry, I still have that power. ”

Luo Yu smiled: "I have only come out this time since I was born, or I was chased by the beast in a panic, you want me to draw a map, but it is a little difficult for me, what I want now is to wait for me to stabilize outside, and then go to the cabin to try my luck, he said that the old man said, sometimes he will rest there." Let's not talk about that for now, are you sure you want me to join the army? I'm not a soldier in the first place, and I'm too young, how dare I join the army, I'm afraid I will be disappointed. ”

Li Xiuning said with a straight face: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to wait in that cabin, and I will rush back as soon as there is news." My father often said that extraordinary people must have extraordinary abilities, just like me, at the age of fifteen, he led troops to suppress bandits, not the same age as you? Han champion Hou Huo went to illness, not also sixteen or seventeen years old to lead the troops to the slave court, Qin Shi Yanran. Although he hit my ancestors, who can deny his merits? took a breath and continued: "I don't know how to say it, I just feel that you have a hidden change in your heart, if you can open your mind, the Li family's stage may not be able to contain your thoughts." ”

Luo Yu was surprised, how did she see it? Is it the sixth sense? This is also amazing, just now the training methods of the special forces in later generations were flashing in her mind, and she wanted to try it out among these soldiers, she saw from her eager eyes that her heart had changed, and her heart said that none of the characters in the history books were simple.

Luo Yu retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "So General Lao, I did think of some physical exercises taught by my grandfather just now, and I want to find some suitable soldiers under your command to try them out." "Grandpa's image is getting fuller and fuller, and even Luo Yu is about to believe it.

Li Xiuning said: "It's okay, if you can stay, I have to relieve your worries, otherwise your heart will not be here." You just said the art of physical training? This is a secret that is not passed on by each family, and my Li family also has it, are you sure you can announce it? ”

Luo Yu snorted haha: "I'm not so stingy, since you want to hire me to join the army, I have to fulfill the responsibility of joining the army!" ”

Li Xiuning said happily: "You agreed?" That's great! ”

Luo Yu looked at her youngest daughter's expression, and said embarrassedly: "General, it's okay, I'm only responsible for the teaching of training methods, and the venue personnel are prepared by you. ”

Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes wandered, and seeing that Luo Yu was sleepy, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, paint slowly, set off to Chang'an tomorrow, it will take three or four days, and today is over, you can rest first." After speaking, he called Shan'er in and asked him to serve Luo Yu well, and then turned around and went out.

Luo Yu was thinking in his mind about how to move these training subjects to reality, there are many things that are not available in the future generations, and he has to use his brain to think about it if he wants to combine the environment here and change it into a suitable training venue and equipment.

When Niu Jinda saw Li Xiuning come out with a smile on her face, she knew that she had successfully left Luo Yu, followed her into the tent of the Chinese army, sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "He agreed?" ”

Li Xiuning nodded: "Well, he said that there is a set of physical exercises to be taught to the soldiers, and he will arrange it after he arrives in Chang'an, Uncle Niu, am I a little too much?" His grandfather's life and death are uncertain now, but I am here to calculate his ......"

Niu Jinda thought for a moment and said: "This is not called calculation, he is a talented person, if you can stay, treat him well, he takes out the art of not passing on to teach you, it is attentive, don't let him feel that you are using him, mutual benefit is a win-win situation." After a pause, he said: "The matter of finding his grandfather must be implemented as soon as possible, and if you are worried, things will become uncontrollable......"

Li Xiuning said: "Uncle Niu is worried that his grandfather will be found by someone to threaten him?" No, he's a nobody now, who would do that? ”

Niu Jinda said: "You can see that he has a big chest, and people can also see it, I hope the situation I'm worried about doesn't appear." Okay, the matter has been decided, success or failure depends on the sky, you will return to the army tomorrow, you still have a lot of things to do, I will take the assassin first, you must be optimistic. ”

Li Xiuning was surprised: "Uncle Niu won't go back with us?" There's a lot to ask along the way......"

Niu Jinda said: "This time I came here for fear that you will be proud and underestimate the enemy, after all, the opponent is a heroic figure like Jieli, and now he has become a prisoner, the old man has nothing to worry about, I don't know what the assassin is doing, I saw Jieli just now, he said that he didn't know anything about this matter, and thought he was here to seek revenge from him, which is interesting." Luo Yu's kid said that the assassin's sword was aimed at you, I don't know how he judged, it seems that all this will not be answered until the assassin wakes up. ”

Li Xiuning had long wanted to ask Luo Yu about these things, but firstly, his body had not recovered, and secondly, he could not take the liberty of questioning what he said, the assassin's arrow was missed after being interfered with by Luo Yu, two steps away from her, and three steps away from her left was Jieli, his entourage was a substitute for the ghost, and many soldiers saw it at that time, and they all agreed that the assassin's target was her, and now no one can say clearly. Niu Jinda has such an idea, and it is understandable, every time Jieli raises troops to the east, burns, kills and plunders, there are countless people among the Han people who hate others, if this assassin wants to kill Jieli, it is not impossible.

I can't think clearly, there is no answer to this matter now, Niu Jinda waited for the assassin to wake up hopefully, so that he could know the answer from his mouth, he was very confident that he could ask, if this assassin was a dead man, he began to be loyal and unyielding, and then pretended to be tortured, and pulled out the royal family or a few nobles at will, maybe the result would be worse.

Li Xiuning stomped his foot hatefully: "Uncle Niu, when are you going to leave?" ”

Niu Jinda said: "After dinner, I will escort him back to Jincheng, it is better for the old man of Chang'an not to go, don't worry, I will investigate clearly." ”

Li Xiuning had to nod in agreement, thought about it and said, "Let Zhao Kuangyin take some people and horses to set off with you, he is bold and careful, and he will take care of you along the way." ”

Niu Jinda nodded and said with a smile: "There are still five or six days to go to Jincheng, it's good to let them follow, there are still a lot of things to do when you pull out the camp and return to the army, you can go and get busy." ”

Li Xiuning nodded, went out of the tent to discuss with the leaders of the various armies, and asked Zhao Kuangyin to select thirty cavalry from the Li family's headquarters, prepare the carriage first, carry the assassins, and set off for the north after dinner.
