Chapter 16: The Banner of the Nine Infants

A big flag on the hill was shaken and shaken, and the breeze on the top of the mountain failed to blow the flag, but Yan Tao's expression changed instantly.

A long fiery red snake is lifelike, the long snake has nine heads, arranged in order up and down, left and right, the upper and lower thirty-two fangs seem to drink blood, the long snake hyacinth is divided up and down after the fork, and the tip of the tongue seems to be able to see the cold light.

Any soldier of the Jin Kingdom can recognize this Nine Infant Shuai Banner at a glance.

The snake is the totem of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, and the successive lords of the Jin Kingdom have all called themselves the Nine Infant Queens.

And the entire Jin State Five Army is only one Nine Infant Banner, which has always been the most powerful and trusted person in the office who is qualified to be in charge.

Yan Tao stretched out his hands tremblingly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this ...... It's ......"

Li Shishi let out a long sigh of relief, and when he saw Yan Tao's appearance, he knew that his life had been saved.

Li Shishi glanced at the company commander Wu Sancheng next to him imperceptibly, he didn't understand how the trembling person who was still scared until now had become a company commander as a civilian in the cruel Jin Army for so long.

But for now, Li Shishi can only secretly say sorry.

"My lord, this is the flag of the Nine Infants!" Tears instantly burst out of the corners of Li Shishi's eyes.

Plop.

Li Shishi knelt on the mountain stone with the flag of the Nine Babies in his hand, and felt severe pain in his knee because he was too hard, but it also made Li Shishi's tears more real and natural.

"My lord, the enemy soldiers succeeded in their despicable raids, they killed indiscriminately in the camp, the army was unable to fight for each other, so many good brothers were even killed in their sleep, although the lowly people fought to the death, they were outnumbered after all, and they had to retreat after losing most of their brothers."

The soldiers around him looked at each other with strange faces, what is it that fights to the death? The four people in front of him didn't even have a single injury on their bodies, and there was not a drop of blood on the long sword, and if they hadn't run away and killed them at the beginning, they wouldn't have believed that they could be so flawless. However, when Yan Tao heard this, there was a look of concern on his face, and he even threw away the sword in his hand and grabbed Li Shishi's raised hands.

Li Shishi convulsed a few times and said: "I can't retreat from the enemy, so I can only act with the company commander when he sees the opportunity." ”

"How do you know that the enemy is cunning and actually divides his troops and goes straight to the flag of the nine infants, the flag of the nine infants is my big golden holy relic, how can I allow this night to be defiled, and the lowly people immediately rushed to kill regardless of life and death, but who knew that the brother in charge of the flag could not fight and die, and the flag of the nine babies also fell into the hands of the enemy."

Yan Tao was shocked and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Shishi took out his right hand and wiped his tears and said solemnly: "How can this thief succeed in his humble position, even if he dies in a lowly position and has no place to be buried, he should go to it." So the six lowly people shouted to kill the past, the thief was obviously intimidated by the momentum of the lowly people, and more than half of the dozens of people fled without a fight, and the lowly eight people successfully recaptured this banner! ”

After that, Li Shishi, who had just been held up by Yan Tao, knelt on the ground again.

Everyone's faces were wonderful, looking at Li Shishi's saber lying on the ground, it was so clean, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was not stained.

But Yan Tao believed it, and shouted that the countrymen were also strong, and the strong men were also like that.

The two of them sang and watched Wu Sancheng a little overwhelmed.

Apparently he didn't have the slightest image of what he had done.

"What's your name?"

"Lord Hui is a descendant of Daying County, Luchuan County, and his name is Li Shishi."

Hearing this, Yan Tao helped Li Shishi up again and asked, "Have you ever been to school before?" ”

"Back to my lord, I studied in a private school for two years when I was a child, so I know a little bit of literature and ink."

Yan Tao was even more satisfied when he heard this, he had read books, and those who could read and hyphenate were all talents, and the smile on his face couldn't help but be a little thicker, and he continued: "Yes, yes, how long have you been in the army?" Any position in the military? ”

Li Shishi was overjoyed in his heart, and finally asked about the key and substantive things, but Li Shishi also knew that Yan Tao's every word was a test of him, judging whether he was qualified to follow him.

Li Shishi suppressed the joy in his heart and bowed down and said: "Lord Hui, I have been in the army for five years, and I have served as the eight-track track commander in the Xinzi Lian Ding Zi. ”

Yan Tao feigned anger and said, "What? Track length? Such a virtuous man who has been in the army for five years is only a track commander? What are you doing with your company commander? ”

Li Shishi's expression instantly switched into sad mode and said bitterly: "Lord Hui, when the war first started, Yousi rushed up with two brothers, and the lowly people wanted to go to the rescue but were scattered by the thieves, and there was nowhere to look for it. As for the lowly company commander, he is here. ”

Yan Tao's gaze naturally followed Li Shishi's instructions, and there was a heavy humming sound in his nose.

Wu Sancheng next to him couldn't imagine that there was a pit here, and he suddenly knelt on the ground with a shudder.

The guilt in Li Shishi's heart has decreased a lot with this kneeling.

"Okay, Li Shishi, it's a great achievement that you can recover the flag of the Nine Babies regardless of life and death, and it will be very gratifying to be able to be so calm and brave in the chaos of battle."

Li Shixin, who was bowing down, began to plop and accelerate, and the scene began.

Sure enough, Yan Tao continued: "At present, the army is the time to employ people, and the general will naturally raise the virtuous and virtuous army, so the general will specially enter you today as the commander of the Xinzi Company of the First Brigade." ”

Li Shishi hurriedly knelt on the ground again and shouted thank you, but he seemed to have just reacted and asked urgently: "My lord, isn't the company commander of Xinzilian the commander of Wu?" ”

Yan Tao's guards raised their hooves in their hearts: "Good boy, ruthless enough!" ”

But Yan Tao liked this kind of ruthlessness, his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Wu Sancheng, and he said coldly: "Hmph, according to my Dajin military law, those who flee in a cowardly battle will be decided!" ”

Wu Sancheng was startled, and hurriedly raised his head and walked over to hug Yan Tao's thighs and said in a trembling voice: "General, no, the lowly position is not a deserter, it is not a deserter, the lowly position and Li Shishi are together, or the lowly position takes him!" ”

Yan Tao backhanded a big mouth and knocked it to the ground and said, "Who is so greedy for life and afraid of death, who can be trusted to say that you are not a deserter?" ”

"Left and right!" Yan Tao screamed and his eyes swept towards Li Shishi and continued: "Enforce military law for this general!" ”

Li Shishi's heart tightened, but then his eyes became firm, and a chill surged up, and he picked up the long sword on the ground in Wu Sancheng's constantly shaking and frightened gaze.

"Nope! No! ”

"Li Shishi, it's you, it's you, it's you who told me, I'm not a deserter, it's all you said!"

Wu Sancheng was already so frightened that he was incoherent and wanted to escape, but he was almost held down by Yan Tao's personal guards.

Li Shishi rushed over in three steps and two steps, raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed straight towards the position of the heart.

At this life-and-death juncture, Wu Sancheng actually broke free from the shackles of one of them, and then dodged sideways to avoid the danger.

However, the sword in Li Shishi's hand pierced through the leather armor, and the tip of the sword came out along the ribs.

Wu Sancheng looked at Li Shi in front of him and still felt incredulous, turned his head and muttered: "It's not me, it's really not me!" ”

However, Yan Tao turned around in disbelief, and Li Shishi would not give him another chance, so he took out his long sword and stabbed it again.

This time, Wu Sancheng no longer had the strength, and the blood quickly flowed into thick lines along the wound.

Li Shishi's long sword was finally not so clean, and beads of sweat ran down his cheeks, dripping into the blood and water to make it indistinguishable.

This can be regarded as a vote, Li Shishi thought, Yan Tao must know the truth, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he guessed it was almost the same, this trick of leading the soldiers for more than ten years is just a child's house, it's just his own luck, Yan Tao lost nearly two thousand elites, even if he is a clan member of the public family, he will inevitably be punished, but the two thousand armor soldiers are a little painful for Jin Guo, but it is not so painful that it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

However, if the flag of the Nine Babies is lost, the lord of the Jin Kingdom will be strongly opposed by the rest of the generals even if he is pretending, and even there will be unquellable complaints between the clans.

Now that he has solved one of the biggest hidden dangers for him, a little punishment is nothing compared to the loss of authority, it is nothing like a fart, no matter what, Yan Tao will try his best to win himself over first, as long as he knows the number, the result will not be too bad.

And Wu Sancheng, Li Shishi glanced at the corpse that had no breath on the ground and sighed slightly, he could only blame him for being unlucky, Yan Tao killed someone to wake himself up, it was too normal for him to kill someone, and he could only rely on it to take advantage of his retreat.

After all, no one would want to use someone who dares to kill their boss.

"Li Shishi, what about these two?"

Li Shishi glanced at it when he heard this, and the two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and pleading.

After a while, Li Shicai said: "Lord Hui, these two people captured the flag together with the last general, and they are meritorious people." ”

Yan Tao smiled slightly, and after a few breaths of silence, he said, "Then let these two be your personal guards, after all, a company commander can't be too shabby." ”

Li Shishi glanced at Yan Tao's smiling eyes, but he couldn't help but shiver after all, and the chill seemed to come out of his heart.
