The soldiers patrolling the city wall were already preparing to change the guard, and a soldier from the city was a little speechless and held his forehead, which was full of sighs and helpless expressions, I don't remember how long I hadn't heard such a voice in this city.

An older veteran from the city wall seemed to see what the other party was thinking, and slapped the opposite shoulder angrily.

The two of them smiled and began to hand over the errand.

The veteran did not immediately go back to rest, but put the hardwood bow on his back, held the spear that had been sharpened by the calluses in his hands, and looked into the city.

Although he had not heard the sound of the city due to the distance, he had known what was going on in the city earlier, as he said, the city had not seen normal people in many years.

Thanks to the arrival of that normal man, the city seems to have begun to become normal.

In the city's main account, the conversation continued.

Lin Pinggui commanded the Zhennan Army and was the defender of Wanqiu City, while Zhang Ling, as a deputy general, although he was still young, his combat experience was extremely rich, and Lin Pinggui was in the prime of life, and Zhang Ling still had a long time to temper, so the city believed that he was the person with the best chance to take over the leadership position.

The commander can only be regarded as a relatively small official position in the Dachang Dynasty, it sounds like it is not as good as the captain and the general, it can only be regarded as the size of a general, but the commander can only command a thousand troops, and there are 30,000 Zhennan troops stationed in this Wanqiu City.

This feels like a small commander, but it's not small at all.

The two letters were still on the table, as if they would never be opened.

Lin Pinggui looked at the spear on the weapon rack, suddenly turned around, looked at Zhang Ling standing in the camp tent and asked, "There are two letters there, if it were one, which one would you open?"

Zhang Ling frowned slightly, staring carefully at the two letters on the table, the style and material of the letters were not different, only the things written and printed on them were different.

One is written in cinnabar red with the words spring and autumn, and the other is a black ink-like seal pattern.

Even Zhang Ling could not be difficult to guess where the two letters came from.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ling pointed to the letter with the black seal and replied, "This one." ”

Lin Pinggui nodded slightly, puzzled: "Why?"

Zhang Ling opened his mouth and replied: "The Zhennan Army cannot rebel, and the courtiers are loyal to Your Majesty, so you should share your Majesty's worries." ”

Lin Pinggui thought carefully about Zhang Ling's words, nodded slightly after a long time, came to the table and sat down, looked at the two letters carefully for a long time, occasionally raised his head to look at Zhang Ling, who was still standing in the same place, just about to put away the two letters seemed to think of something again, couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said, "You go back, drag that kid in for me." ”

Zhang Ling bowed and said, "Yes!"

As Lin Pinggui said, dragging that kid in, Zhang Ling did exactly that, the adjutant looked down at the kid who was covered with muddy water, and was still crying and crying when he was caught in his hand, and shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Lin Pinggui waved his hand, motioned for Zhang Ling to go out, and then moved a small stool to sit in front of the young man, with a smile on his face.

That kid is naturally Yu Ming, he successfully entered the city last night, and also had his own dormitory in the city, and Meimei slept well.

His horse is still his horse, and he is fed by a special person, and he is the only one in his army who has a horse, which makes many people envious.

As for the package on horseback, the clothes are just wet, and they can still be worn if they are dried, and the dry food, including some other things to eat, is just drenched and broken, Yu Ming obviously can't care about those, just lying on the bed thinking about whether it is possible to starve or something if he can't eat things, so he fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep on the bed.

Somewhat different from ordinary poor teenagers, Yu Ming didn't know how hard his family was. Because he can eat enough every day, and he will not be frozen in winter, and even occasionally his mother will buy himself a copper plate to buy a sugar gourd to eat, and poverty is only his mother's business among them.

And he only knew that there was very little meat at home, and his mother told him that those things should be eaten less, Yu Mingxin believed it and didn't feel that if he didn't eat meat, he would lose something.

He also knew that he rarely changed into new clothes, and his mother said that he was playful, and that when he wore new clothes, he would always be torn, and this was exactly the case, he and the children of the rich and noble families in Dongcheng had the same happiness, so he didn't feel that he was missing something.

He had also seen some other poor children, and he could even feel that he had something more than them, and he didn't know that it was self-confidence.

Children who have been instilled with the concept of poverty since childhood have little self-confidence.

And Yu Ming's mother didn't understand these truths, but she felt that whether the family was rich or poor was an adult's business. Children are not sensible and extravagant, but they are not well educated, and they have nothing to do with wealth or poverty.

So Yu Ming didn't feel very distressed, things were drenched and couldn't be eaten anymore, he didn't dare to waste it, but if he couldn't eat it, he couldn't eat it.

To his surprise, no one urged him to get up the next morning, but the others woke him up when they got up, and when they went to breakfast together, they found that the food was even better than what he usually ate at home, which made him very happy.

There were twenty-five people in that group, and it was only a temporary formation, and some of the others were of different ages, all of them were teenagers and children who were not much older than him, and they were more able to play together.

Some of the people who came a little earlier told him at breakfast that the food in the city was generally relatively good, and that there was a regular establishment and that the military pay was paid on time every month, and that he could take it and buy some other things in the city himself, or he could ask someone to send it home, but it was not so easy to leave.

Yu Ming was deeply disdainful of him, and as soon as he came, he thought about leaving, remembering that someone had scolded him and repeated: "Coward!"

But it wasn't until he finished breakfast that he realized that he really wanted to leave.

On this day, I didn't have to go through much hard formal training, but all kinds of chores and tiring work were non-stop, and finally I could go to sleep at night, but on the way to the dormitory, I was already tired and couldn't stand up, and I rolled around in the city and yelled.

It was not until he was dragged into the main account by Zhang Ling at this time, and when he saw the tall and strong man in front of him, he stopped, and couldn't help but choke lightly and didn't dare to cry anymore.

Lin Pinggui sat on the small stool, looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, and said, "There are only two kinds of soldiers in this city. ”

Yu Ming didn't dare to cry, and he didn't know how to reply, but he was tired and lying on the floor in the tent, at this time, he had a feeling that even if the spear on the opponent's weapon rack fell straight down on his head, he didn't have the strength to dodge back a little.

Seeing that the other party did not reply, Lin Pinggui was not angry at all, still sitting in front of the young man, and then said: "One is to fight, and the other is not to fight." ”

Yu Ming didn't bother to speak except crying, but he didn't dare to cry anymore at this time.

When I heard the words of the other party, my heart was full of curiosity, don't all soldiers go to war? What kind of soldiers are not going to fight?

Even if he was abnormally tired, he couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart, and he choked up and asked, "What's the difference?"

Lin Pinggui laughed twice, pointed to himself and the other party and said, "It's me who fights, and you're the one who doesn't fight." There is no high or low level of these two types of soldiers, they are all needed in this city and the army, but they do things differently. ”

Yu Ming was slightly stunned, the one who fought was sitting on a stool in the camp tent and looking at me, and if he didn't fight, he was so tired that he couldn't stand up on the ground?

......

Well, for this teenager, it always feels more appropriate to understand it this way.

However, for the sake of safety, Yu Ming still forced himself to lie down and tilt his head and ask, "What kind of soldier can be a general?"

Lin Pinggui was not surprised or puzzled by this sentence, but nodded with some relief, and replied: "Good soldier." ”

"What kind of soldier is a good soldier?"

This time it was Lin Pinggui's turn to start a little entangled in how to answer, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Any kind of soldier is a good soldier, and it stands to reason that he should be able to become a general." However, the general who does not fight has never been seen in general. ”

Yu Ming said unusually firmly: "I want to be a general." ”

Lin Pinggui stood up, looked at the outside of the account with his eyes, and said calmly: "Yes, but you need to stand up first." ”

Yu Ming struggled a little on the ground, it wasn't that he really couldn't stand up, but he would be in pain all over his body when he moved, and said weakly: "I can't stand up, do you need to stand up first when you become a general?"

This sentence was very funny, but Lin Pinggui didn't laugh, he never felt how ridiculous the other party was, but he thought that it was already great for this little boy to come to this city alone and stand in front of him, because he was just a normal ordinary person.

As the soldiers in the city said, there have been no ordinary people in this city for a long time.

Lin Pinggui nodded and replied seriously: "I have never seen a general lying on the ground, unless that general has died in battle." ”

Yu Ming's hands fluttered twice, he really didn't want to stand up, and he also explained to the other party seriously: "It's not that I can't stand up, and I didn't die in battle." I'm just very tired now, tired and don't want to stand up, but I will definitely stand up in the future, and this shouldn't affect me as a general, right?"

......

The corners of Lin Pinggui's mouth twitched slightly, shook his head and replied: "It doesn't matter, because you are not a general now, you are just a soldier." ”

......

Yu Ming laughed a little embarrassed hehe laughed twice, you have to lead the topic in this direction.

Seeing that the other party was really tall, he asked the question in his heart: "Is there a gun in our city?"

Lin Pinggui replied with puzzlement and curiosity: "There are a lot of guns in this city, what do you want to ask." ”

Yu Ming thought about the words that came out of the storyteller's mouth, his arm was numb, and he lay on the ground and changed his posture and said, "I heard that there is a very powerful gun, which is made of a sword named Dahe by a man named Qinglian, who is that gun in whose hand?"

Lin Pinggui's face trembled violently on one side, a row of black lines appeared on his forehead, and he said in a deep voice: "If you can defeat him, that gun will be in your hand." ”

Yu Ming frowned, and after thinking for a while, he realized that he should have come to the wrong place, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm not here to come, I'm looking for the gun, I'm looking for the owner of the gun." ”

Lin Pinggui was a little speechless, thinking to himself if he should take care of those storytellers and let them be a little more restrained when they tell stories?

He said coldly: "You can't get out." ”

Yu Ming shrank down abruptly and choked up, "I'm not going out." ”

......

This young man's sleekness is far beyond Lin Pinggui's imagination.

He went away when he saw that there was no turning point when he let the other go at the gate of the city, and when he thought he might freeze to death on the way, starve to death, or be mauled to death by wild dogs, he turned back again, and now he replied when he felt that he could not leave.

Lin Pinggui smiled gloomily: "Come on, drag him out!"

I have to say that the soldiers in the city are really obedient to this commander, saying that dragging is dragging, neither carrying nor supporting, dragging and dragging out on the ground.

Lin Pinggui watched the young man's hands on the ground, and then listened to his miserable scream, which inexplicably felt a little like an underworld organization bullying a teenager, and after hesitating for a moment, he felt that he needed to change the word in the future?

Send him out? Ask him out? Seems a little too polite?

Help him out? Carry him out? Do you seem to be too gentle? No, no, you have to use a tow!
