The next day, it was dawn again.

Today's morning is not as early as yesterday's wake-up boy, because this morning, Lao Xu didn't have diarrhea. Yesterday's tossing from morning to night was actually quite big, first went to the inner city to recruit troops, and then fought the black-hearted rich households, and came back at night to compete with the blacksmith for a strength, the nine black nests that ate did not dare to go to the thatched house to pull, and the stomach was empty, and it was easier to be hungry.

The swarthy boy was lazy today, and he didn't get up until the end, and he had a strange dream last night, and he could still fly around like a bird, messy, and he woke up a little dizzy in the morning, and the things in the dream were basically forgotten. He stretched his waist, washed up briefly as usual, went to the yard, went up to the hut, drank cold water, and prepared to practice himself.

As soon as Wang Erxiao set up the formation and was about to squat on the horse, the young owner ran over in a hurry, he grabbed the arm of the swarthy young man, and pulled it to the remote place in the corner of the courtyard, muttering while pulling.

"Trouble, trouble, I'm afraid that there are ghosts everywhere, you listen to me tell you, we are going to cause trouble, but you have to be careful, since I got up this morning, I feel that someone has always looked at me, looked around, sure enough, it was the blacksmith who was aiming at me, I counted, from early in the morning to just now, the blacksmith has been staring at me five times, what do you say he wants to do? Will there be a Ha idea......"

was asked a long list by the young owner who was so headless and brainless, and the last remaining bit of sleepiness of the swarthy boy was shaken away. Last night, in order not to lose the competition, he took the risk of using the method of guiding the art of luck, and now it is really a disaster, when Master Yang taught them this kind of exercise, he once warned the two of them, this kind of kung fu is not a mundane thing, it belongs to the law outside the party, try not to use it at will when you walk in the world, if you are seen by someone with a heart, it will cause trouble, as for what is the reason, what trouble will be caused, this Master Yang only said that they were still young at that time, and the little brain melon said it was also in vain. But now it seems that it is really reckless, and this disaster is likely to come to the door.

Shao Dongjia and the swarthy boy are young in the end, a little scared without going through anything, and they didn't have an eyebrow after discussing for a long time, but the more they discussed, the bigger the head, the more blind they thought, the more they were scared, and they were more clueless like headless flies, and the swarthy boy was also a strong self-blame and regret, and he shouldn't be so reckless for this little thing, and leaked his hole cards.

The other people in the yard looked at the two children who were out of the limelight last night, but they met their heads together early in the morning like a demon and muttered, all guessing what was wrong with the two babies, and a group of people looked at them with suspicious eyes, pointing and muttering. This is even better, the two teenagers originally only felt the blacksmith's gaze, but now they are all looking at the two of them, that kind of look, as if they have been stripped of themselves, and the little secrets on their bodies have all been exposed, as if people all over the world are waiting to find them trouble.

Both of them were wailing in their hearts, "This is really going to be the end!" "Sure enough, it's the old saying that I'm afraid that there are ghosts everywhere, and now everyone in this courtyard seems to have become bad people with evil intentions.

Fortunately, this torture was quickly interrupted, and the savior arrived, and it turned out that the knife that delivered the food had pushed his cart in. Now everyone's eyes are on the food delivery cart, who cares about the two Shinto little children who have food, and they can't stand being hungry. The two teenagers felt that the whole world was relaxed all of a sudden, and the feeling of being stared at was really uncomfortable, so it was better to let them fight with the barbarians with knives.

When they used to study with the teacher, they were deeply impressed by an article, saying that there was a man named Wei What, known as one of the four beautiful men, very beautiful, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law liked to see it, and the man was scared to go out, and then once he had to go out, otherwise he was blocked, and as a result, it attracted women like a mountain, and the crowd was like waves, and a pair of eyes stared at the beautiful man so directly, and it turned out to be a big man. was forced to die by these tiger and wolf daughters.

At that time, when I learned this miscellaneous note, more than a dozen dolls in a school were particularly serious, holding their little brains and listening carefully to the teacher's story, after all, this is different from "the way of the university, in Mingmingde, in the people, in the ...... of perfection", read these sages all day long, I don't know if I can finally raise Haoran righteousness, but this process of self-cultivation and sanctification is quite tormenting, that is really a word they have learned, "living like a year"! The teacher unexpectedly told them such an alternative article today, but it is much more interesting than those who are not there, everyone does not whisper, let alone drowsy, they all follow the teacher's narration in their hearts, bring their own perspectives, correspond to the people around them, and mix their own views and fantasies. The male doll wondered what would happen if I were that man, would he be too ashamed to go out? Is it possible to marry more wives with that kind of looks, hehe. The female doll is thinking about how beautiful that man is, is there a grandfather and brother who are good-looking, so timid, and so thin-skinned that they are embarrassed to call the husband?

Being stared at like this today, the two teenagers are a bit of a sense of being seen and killed, in contrast, the one called Wei or something back then, the one who died should not be strange, it seems that the eyes can really kill, and people may really be seen alive and dead.

"It's not necessarily a good thing for a man to look too good!"

Feeling emotional, the two teenagers were a little embarrassed about their appearance, and they were silently glad in their hearts, it turned out that ordinary appearance was not necessarily a bad thing.

The two young men saw that everyone was putting their minds on eating, and the yard of people was eating and drinking, so they reacted, quickly ran to the food delivery cart, and did not scoop the soup, grabbed their three nest heads, slipped to the corner of the wall just now, swallowed the nest heads in three or two, and then didn't know what to do. I knew that I didn't eat so fast just now, but now I am so pestle, wouldn't it be even more suspicious.

The blacksmith was also very inexplicable, he got up in the morning, thinking back to the kid who surprised him last night, and couldn't help but be very curious, the black baby hadn't gotten up yet, and he couldn't help but look at the young owner who woke up first. Hey, that kid's eyes are still sharp, he saw me looking at him, he was about to say hello to the other party, but he didn't think that this baby twisted his head back again, which made him more curious, I don't know what happened to this baby? Could it be that there is something wrong with me? The more the blacksmith thought about it, the more he wondered, the more he couldn't help but look at it, making himself even more confused, how could the young owner feel like a thief and dodge. Later, the black baby who competed with himself also woke up, he originally wanted to go over to say hello, after all, he was a fellow practitioner, but before he took a step, the black doll was pulled to the corner by the young owner and muttered something, and the two of them turned their heads to look at themselves from time to time, mysterious, do they have flowers on their faces?

Just when the three of them had their own affairs, the herald came and conveyed two orders: one is to ask the blacksmith to report to the Modao Battalion, and from now on, he will be promoted to the Modao Battalion swordsman! The second is to ask the young owner and the swarthy boy to gather at the school to teach and train the recruits recruited yesterday!

Things in the world may be so coincidental, and two things happen to be related to the three of them. Although the blacksmith went to the Modao camp unexpectedly, it was reasonable. The strength of the blacksmith itself is the strongest among them, the previous Mo Dao battalion was neatly staffed, and the knife bearers were basically aristocratic branches, they were not strong enough, no matter how high their strength was, there was no way at all. Now because of the war, the Modao battalion has suffered heavy casualties, the original people have basically been replaced, the Modao battalion with a "two-point" proportion has been reduced to "one point", calculated, their remaining more than 1,000 people, only more than 100 Mo knives that can be used, and the day before yesterday lost more than 20 of them, this time the blacksmith was very honored, and was finally selected.

The blacksmith is strangely excited, he has been a soldier for more than five years, and he can finally carry the Mo knife, his eyes are red and the cold light of the Mo knife is not a day or two, since the first sight of the knife, the blacksmith dreamed of holding him to the bed, holding him to sleep, the taste must be more comfortable than holding his round wife.

There is no one in the Tang army who doesn't want to sleep with that Mo knife in his arms! The Modao Battalion has an unparalleled status in the entire armament ranks.

In the Tang Dynasty's regular army equipment, the soldiers are uniformly dressed in Mingguang armor, the horizontal knife is two hands, one long and one short, the bow is a horn bow, feather arrows, the crossbow is a standard crossbow, the long soldier is also equipped with a spear more than one zhang long, and the short soldiers who charge into battle will also be equipped with a small axe and copper hammer for armor piercing, as for the skin bag and water bag, it is basically the same. Only the equipment of the Modao battalion is different, they basically don't wear complete sets of armor at ordinary times, even in wartime, they only wear a part of the armor that can protect the vital points, such as the abdomen, legs, and arms are not armored, and the helmet is also special, they are not worthy of bows and crossbows, other axes and hammers are not worthy, and those cowhide bags for dry food and drinking water are not there, except for a slightly larger horizontal knife on the waist, the most eye-catching is the Mo knife on the shoulder.

The Mo knife is the most expensive of all the military equipment in Datang, and there is no one. They are powerful, the blades are added, bleeding and drifting, the thieves can only abandon the armor and flee the soldiers, not to mention the two-legged foot soldiers, even those arrogant four-legged cavalry, those who escape slowly, a knife down, is also broken. The scene of being dissected alive, and the people who see it, are nightmares for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the great fame of Modao is cut out of human life with one knife and one knife.

Under the Mo knife, there is never a soul.

Therefore, the soldiers in the army have always regarded it as the highest honor to be a swordsman of the Modao Battalion.

Of course, the invincibility of the Mo knife's edge is not for nothing, it is all real money, and the value of a knife is even higher than that of two war horses. A Mo knife from the pig iron ore forging, to the final delivery of the knife hand use, at least more than four years, the middle of the steel filling method, fusion method, condensation method, forging method, open front, that is really written in the book "carefully carved square for the tool, thousands of hammers into steel". More than 1,500 days and nights of non-stop polishing, and finally became a wartime weapon to harvest human lives.

With divine soldiers, there must naturally be worthy warriors.

A twenty or thirty pound Mo knife is not something that ordinary people can afford. Ordinary people play Mo knife, not only easy to make jokes but also easy to make people's lives, many people do not have enough strength, Xiaowa plays a sledgehammer, and he can't swing it, even if he raises the knife hard, he either hits his heel, or hurts the people or things around him, and the enemy has not killed himself, so the selection of Mo knife knife hand is extremely strict.

First of all, you have to be proficient in archery, and only when you are proficient in archery can you know how to dodge, and the enemy's bow and crossbow are aimed at your own vital strikes; Then you have to know how to ride, otherwise how do you know where the strength and weakness of the cavalry are, the main target of the Mo knife is not those small foot soldiers standing on the ground, and those big cavalry straddling the war horse, not the cavalry, the Mo knife hand disdains to cut you. Next, you have to have strong explosiveness, Mo Dao pays attention to the power of a knife, and the power of the whole body is condensed in an instant to form a huge damage, without such a violent strike power, it is not possible. There is also good eyesight and good endurance is also very important, but also to run fast, otherwise how can you grab a knife before the high-speed moving cavalry hit the vital point, and then go after those deserters who are holding their heads and running around, in addition, there are other knife skills that are specially suitable for Mo knife chopping and slashing essence techniques and battlefield emergency self-rescue techniques, etc., the above things must be proficient in order to be a qualified Mo knife hand.

Of course, these are all requirements after becoming a Modao, and before these standards, you have to pass the most basic first level.

Strength.

Strength is fundamental.

The first assessment criterion of Modao is to raise the knife and hit directly. The assessment method is to stand up to the knife catcher, pick up the Mo knife in his hand with both hands, first stab forward thirty times, and then chop up and down thirty times, and can complete these sixty actions in a column of incense time, it can be regarded as a basic pass, otherwise it will be cool and stay there. After passing the strength level and then taking the bow and sword skills, and passing a series of assessments, congratulations, you are the one in a million.

So why are most of Mo Dao's swordsmen nostrils facing the sky, and they are disdainful of other troops, and when you get to that point, you may be even more sassy than him! Although later, because of the long period of peace, although the Tang Dynasty army did not stop conquering abroad, there was basically no war in the country, the monarchs and ministers were harmonious, the people were rich, and the domestic army had no war to fight, so it naturally slacked off, and even the Modao battalion, which was the most cruel in the original assessment, was no longer so rigorous and harsh. After a long time, some rich and noble families who want to give their juniors too much military merit in order to have a good resume, so they sent the inferior children of the family and even some middle children to the Modao Battalion, and spent some money in the Modao Battalion to mix up some years of dressing up and dressing up to spend money, and they have enough time to return to the family society, which is good-looking and good-sounding, and the most important thing is to enter the military department of the court, which is a glamorous qualification.

Decades of comfort and greasy have been eroded until the year before last, the barbarian surnamed An in the north launched a rebellion without warning, and the bigwigs in the military department were a little in a hurry, and the original aristocratic families who sharpened their heads and spent a lot of money to send their children to the Modao camp were all surprised when they heard that there was really a war, and they spent a lot of money to sharpen their heads and then ransom people out. When those military bigwigs saw that they were worried about these straw bales who were messing around and couldn't die, they couldn't imagine that they had come up with a way to knock on their door again with money bags. But it's really sleepy to come and someone happens to send a pillow, at the moment a thigh pat, happy to see it, both sides of the money, wouldn't it be better, the dividends earned, take it out, throw it to those poor places, those untouchables whose lives are worthless, for the copper that feeds a few families, all of them have to come to the soldiers to die, turn over the clouds and rain, turn over the clouds and rain, money for life, life for money, isn't it wonderful!

As for those vacancies, and then from those who have the ability to die, select a group of people who can do things to fill in the Modao battalion, that is, to cope with Shang'en and restore the army's combat strength, and to fulfill the dream of those sluts Modao, the best thing is that both ends are very satisfied with themselves, it is really a good deal!

So the blacksmith's long-cherished wish for many years came true, and you said that it was not more dignified than letting him sleep with an Oiran little lady! Oiran is often available, but Mosa is not.

The young man and the swarthy boy listened to the herald's words dumbfounded, as for the upper part of the arrangement for the two of them to be recruit instructors or anything, they didn't take it to heart, just the blacksmith made a strange knifeman, this surprise was more shocking than the enemy's attack.

The two of them have known the blacksmith for more than two years, and since they followed the Southern Division, the two babies have become the recruits of Master Zhang, and this blacksmith is a veteran of Lord Zhang. He used to be in the county town under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhang, followed an old blacksmith to make a living from iron, when he was forty years old, the old mother of the family had a strange disease, the ordinary medicine is not good, the family money is not enough to buy medicine after a long time, when Lord Zhang inspected and learned that he suffered generously, saved his old mother, and later heard that Lord Zhang was going to raise troops to fight, after the blacksmith settled the old mother, wife and children, he came to protect the adult, relying on the strength of the two arms, he was a great character, although he had not learned the serious battlefield fighting skills, but the victory was in the strength of the big life, Later, he returned to Nan Jiyun's subordinates, learned some military skills, and became an excellent scout. After a few years of fighting, he followed Master Zhang to many places, and when he arrived in Suiyang, there were only more than 30 people left in his two battalions in the entire scout department.

Now the war is fierce, although there are often new recruits enlisted, but it is also a drop in the bucket talk is better than nothing, when it comes to the fight of real swords and guns, it has to be their old men. Lord Zhang has always been upright and disdainful of those flies and dogs, so although he was born in Jinshi, talented, innocent and noble, and he is also dedicated to being an official, and is deeply loved by the people, but the people say this kind of thing as an official, and the people don't count, and Lord Zhang's arrogant character makes those real people in the court very unhappy, so it is simply as you wish, and gave a county order to do it for more than ten years. Don't you care about the people, then I will put you among the people, so that people can make the best use of their talents and materials.

Although Zhang Xun was indignant, he was helpless, he could only be within his jurisdiction, diligent, and do his best to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, the people are very admired and support such a good official, although the people above the court say it does not count, but the people under the field can make their own decisions, the war together, there is no shortage of evil officials who have been slaughtered by the people below all over the country, and the unbearable fierce people took advantage of the chaos in the world to kill those thieves who have been in trouble for many years. On the other hand, there are very few good officials like Zhang Xun who have been sacrificed by many people to vote, and everyone says that Zhang Xun has the legacy of Emperor Zhaolie, and he is a rare righteous person today. After all, no matter when it is difficult for a good person to be a good person, this truth cannot be changed, let alone being a good official.

The blacksmith packed his bags under everyone's envious gaze, and then said goodbye to everyone one by one, although the scout department and the Modao camp were not far away, but everyone also knew that this parting was almost life and death again.

The two teenagers also had tears in their eyes at the moment, and the little Jiujiu in their stomachs who was wary of the blacksmith had already gone to Java, only full of envy and reluctance. The blacksmith hugged each of his brothers for a while, and finally came to the two dolls. The blacksmith had a lot of things to say in his heart, but it would be a lot of people, and it was not suitable for details, so he could only pat the two babies, and give two words of advice with deep meaning, and endured it, so he left without looking back.

The young owner and the swarthy boy looked at the figure of the blacksmith walking farther and farther away, and the tears in their eyes slid down the pheasant's face, fell to the ground, and fell into several petals and seeped into the earth. The two children felt as if they had lost something very important, but they seemed to have gained something more important, but they had no clue when it came to telling the truth.

After adjusting their mood for a while, the two teenagers recovered as before. They returned to the barracks, thinking about the order of the herald just now, and gathered themselves as they spoke. After washing their faces, they helped each other put on their armor, put on their boots and helmets, carried bows and knives, and walked energetically to the school field where they trained recruits.

They want to give the new baby soldiers, a mighty and domineering deterrent!

Today's sun is a little sluggish, bitter haha.

Finally, it's starting to smell a little autumn slaughter.
