Chapter 34: The War Game

The fourth brother arranged a mansion for Li Zhiyun as his mansion. Li Zhiyun took Yinggu, Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu to move in, and Scarface brought a team of personal soldiers as the guards of the mansion.

After trekking through mountains and rivers along the way, and walking for nearly a month, Li Zhiyun was indeed tired. The next day, he slept and woke up almost noon.

The next day, the fourth brother came to him and said that he would take him to see a fun game. Li Zhiyun thought he was watching some kind of performance, so he took his relatives and his fourth brother out of the city and came to the wilderness. It was a barren place, with a wooden platform on the ground, and a large open space in front of it, surrounded by warriors holding sorbets. In the middle of the field was a group of soldiers, about two hundred people.

Li Zhiyun walked closer and saw that these soldiers were all seventeen or eighteen years old, and some of them were quite good-looking. They were dressed in military uniforms, armed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and bows and arrows. He asked the fourth brother, "Who are they?" ”

"These are my handmaidens, and I let them play the game of war." The fourth brother said to an officer and soldier, "Let's start!" So the officer divided the maidservants into two groups, and the two sides were separated by fifty feet, and then began to attack with drums. The fourth brother pulled Li Zhiyun to sit down on the wooden platform and watch the battle.

At first, Li Zhiyun thought that this was just a military exercise, and the two sides had stopped at the point. But he didn't expect that those handmaidens were real. They fought so fiercely that several of them were cut or stabbed and fell to the ground. One of the servant maids with a halberd was very ferocious, stabbed several people in succession, and rushed towards the wooden platform, and many of the maidservants who stood in front of her dodged and dodged.

Just as Li Zhiyun was stunned, the fourth brother jumped up and shouted cheers. Probably not enough, he jumped off the stage, snatched the bow and arrow from a servant girl, and shot at the halberd-wielding woman. Since the distance was only a dozen zhang away, the arrow hit the handmaiden's chest. She threw away the halberd in her hand and fell to the ground.

Li Zhiyun was frightened, and hurriedly jumped off the wooden platform and ran over, only to see the servant girl lying on her back on the ground, and the arrow pierced deep into her chest. She was foaming blood from her mouth and was struggling there in pain......

Li Zhiyun turned around and shouted to the fourth brother who came over slowly: "Come and see, she is dying!" The fourth brother said casually: "If you're dead, you're dead, what's the big deal?" She's just a lowly minion! ”

Li Zhiyun looked at the struggling maid, and was extremely angry in his heart: This is too barbaric, too backward! It reminded him of the gladiators of ancient Rome. He never expected that such a thing would happen in the land of Datang!

"Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Zheng, Cai Hu." Li Zhiyun shouted to his attendants, "The three of you quickly carry this woman into the city, ask Lang Zhong to treat her, and see if you can save her!" After the three of them agreed, they picked up the maidservant and left. The fourth brother looked at him puzzled: "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?" She's just a lowly servant, does she need that? ”

Li Zhiyun suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a calm face: "Fourth brother, she is also a human!" She, like you and me, is also a flesh-and-blood person born and raised by her parents! …… I advise you not to play this game again! If you don't listen, then don't call me to come and see! After Li Zhiyun finished speaking, he said to Yinggu who was standing aside, "Let's go!" With that, he went away in a rage!

The fourth brother looked at his distant back, spat at the ground, and glared at the entourage gathered around: "What are you all doing here?" Don't get out of here! ……”

Li Zhiyun left the game field quickly, and Yinggu followed him closely and said, "The fourth young master is too fierce!" Li Zhiyun hated: "He's barbaric!" Ignorance! Lag! ...... "Although Aunt Ying doesn't understand well, she knows that the fifth young master is the best person in the world!" She has been a maid for her wife since she was a child, and her wife is also a rare good person, never beating her and scolding her, and speaking softly, but she can still feel the strict boundary between master and servant between them from time to time. Only the fifth young master is different from others, he never treats her as a person, but as an equal person like himself, and even as a friend. Being able to serve such a master, Ying Gu feels that she is really lucky.

When he was about to walk to the carriage, Li Zhiyun slowed down. He is angry today, and the fourth brother will definitely be unhappy, but he can't care about it so much. He is a modern man after all, and if he calmly watches this kind of killing game that treats life as child's play, then he will be sorry for his education, and even more sorry for his conscience! He only now truly realized that the world he lived in was really too backward, and there was a strict hierarchy of human attributes and social attributes. In the world of the previous life, although people's social attributes were unequal due to the amount of resources they possessed and the level of their positions, they were all equal in their natural attributes. No matter how rich you are, how big an official you are, if you commit a crime, you will be imprisoned or even shot, at least the law stipulates that, as for the effect of implementation, it depends on the level of social governance. That's progress!

Li Zhiyun thought, when the materials are extremely abundant, there is no problem of people occupying resources, and social governance is extremely perfect, any position is just a job, no matter how big an official you are, it cannot improve your social status. Only then will true equality be achieved. That won't be until many years later, though.

Li Zhiyun returned to the mansion, met Scarface in the courtyard, and hurriedly asked, "How is that servant?" ”

"The injury is too serious, I can't be saved, I'm dead!"

Li Zhiyun sighed and said, "Tell Zhang Zheng to buy a coffin, put her in a coffin, and carry her outside the city to be buried." ”

Actually, the fourth brother was not angry with him. A few days later, the fourth brother came to invite him to hunt again. Li Zhiyun didn't want to go, but in order not to refute the fourth brother's face, he had to agree. The fourth brother hunted in a large pomp, with more than a thousand soldiers, and there were more than a dozen carts in the middle of the team. Li Zhiyun drove over and asked, "What kind of play is in this car?" ”

"This is a net for catching birds, beasts, fish and shrimp, and I have thirty truckloads of wire nets like this." The fourth brother said proudly, "I can go three days without eating, but I can't go without hunting for a day!" ”

Li Zhiyun shook his head when he heard this. He and the fourth brother were walking in the middle of the team, and suddenly saw the people in front of him walking into the crop field, and hurriedly asked, "Fourth brother, how did they get to the crop field?" ”

"Isn't that for shortcuts?"

"How's that going to work? What should I do if I trample on a crop? On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work. Did You Know? ”

"Hard work is the farmer's business, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Zhiyun was speechless for a while, so he had to say, "Do you know how the second brother and the third sister led the troops?" Their army never trampled on the crops, and no soldier dared to rob the people! ”

"They are them! I am me! ”

It's unreasonable! Li Zhiyun was furious, so he had to say: "Fourth brother, if you don't let them come out of the ground, I won't go, you can play by yourself!" "Then turn the horse's head and go back. When the fourth brother saw it, he had to give in: "Okay, good, listen to you!" Then he said to an officer beside him, "Go over quickly, let them come out of the field and take the avenue!" The officer agreed, and drove his horse to the front to give the order. Li Zhiyun shouted behind him: "Let them slow down, don't trample on the crops!" ”

After the team re-entered the avenue, Li Zhiyun pointed to an officer and said, "You, take someone to pick up the fallen crops and re-cultivate the soil!" The officer agreed, turned around and went to make arrangements.

When they arrived at the hunting place and set up camp, the soldiers scattered in all directions, fenced the entire hunting ground with silk nets, and then began to drive away the wild beasts. Li Zhiyun can't hunt, so he can only watch the excitement. He saw a wounded boar being chased and ran, and the soldiers gathered together to form a human wall and enclose it in the middle. The wild boar rushed left and right, but it couldn't run out, so it had to run back and forth, rampage.

The fourth brother got off his horse and said to the soldier with a bow and arrow, "Don't let me deal with it!" He took the halberd from one of the sergeants and met the running boar. The wild boar seemed to have found the target of the attack, and rushed towards the fourth brother with red eyes. It ran to it, was stabbed by the fourth brother with a halberd, and retreated in pain. The wild boar was huge, and it seemed to be completely enraged, panting for breath, and rushed towards the fourth brother again. This time it rushed so hard that the fourth brother was almost knocked to the ground by it.

The fourth brother dodged the wild boar's collision and kept stabbing it with a halberd, which made Li Zhiyun's heart tremble. The two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds, and the strong boar finally fell to the ground and did not move. The fourth brother was also exhausted, threw away the halberd, and sat on the ground panting......

Li Zhiyun walked over and exclaimed, "Fourth brother, you are really a fierce general!" ……”
