In November, there was no rain, but the dark clouds turned the sky gray, and the chill blew through it, making it almost breathless.

After crossing the Baocheng Bridge, Li Huaiji traveled with a group of scholars in this cold wind, at first he was quite interested, talking and laughing all the way, and then down, everyone felt bored and dull, and with the refugees coming, there was still some fear.

After the new article, the front is the territory of Yejiazhuang, which leads to the county road in the west and water transportation in the east, and the population is quite dense, all of which belong to the Ye family.

Li Huaiji saw a bright residential area in front of him, and pointed on the carriage: "Look, this is Yejiazhuang, due to the lush population, with Yefu as the center, a market and streets have gradually formed, and it is about to become a town, so we can rest in the past." ”

A scholar smiled: "Walking and cold rain, this sin is fed up, let's take a look." ”

"It's night, and there are still a lot of people coming. Seeing that only one person was talking, and the other scholars did not speak, Li Huaiji looked at the refugees, looked at the lantern at the gate of Yejiazhuang, and sighed.

Not long ago, Pingshui met, after hearing that there was a Kou, a few scholars came all the way and smiled, and saw two or three flags at the door.

But soon they lost their minds, they had seen the murder of the rogue, and they had doubts about whether the Ye family could hold it...... Or get up tomorrow morning and head to the county seat?

Li Huaiji glanced at them, shook the bamboo leaf green wine in his hand, and took a sip of it to himself.

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other...... This generation is not my peer.

The closer you get to Yejiazhuang, the noisier the scene becomes.

It was already a dim night, and it began to rain sporadically, and there were not a few people who came over, they were all dragging ox carts, and they were ordinary small households of different colors before and after, some dragged their families, some were alone, and there were also many adult men wearing leather armor, bows and knives in their hands, dozens of people, crowded over and shouted: "We want to sign up...... Don't look down on us small households."

The two deacons in charge of the diversion were anxious: "Don't block here, the militia wants to sign up, go to the north barracks, and wait for the screening ......"

No one would leave in the dark.

Several of his companions were a little impatient, but Li Huaiji was interested in observing, and gradually his gaze shifted to the side.

Entering a black and swarthy wall, but there are ups and downs, listening to some farmers who are also blocked at the door, it is the newly repaired exterior wall of Yejiazhuang in the past few days.

It looks weird, only an adult height, which is understandable to be a little shorter and save time, but the thick shape of the arc has been changed beyond recognition, not only hidden into a pentagonal shape, but also a variety of prominent configurations everywhere, giving people the feeling of a hedgehog with spikes......

Some people came on the path to the workshop, driving a large cart, carrying quite heavy things, and the girl on the wheel of the car was in a book, writing and drawing, and the canopy did not distinguish the color.

At this moment the doorway was blocked, and the girl looked up from the book full of pentagonal lines, and the charming light in her eyes flickered, and after a little thought, she gave an order to one of the servants.

The servant couldn't stop nodding and shouted, "Bangyan Gong is there in the barracks...... Sign up with me."

"Boom", the crowd rushed up.

The convoy entered the courtyard smoothly, many people moved their things down, and some militiamen lined up to get them away...... Some walked to the nearby place where the white lime circle was drawn and buried on the spot.

Li Huaiji wanted to watch it for a while, but he had already heard the loud servant urging: "Don't crowd, line up and follow me."

Barracks?Ye Qing?

Li Huaiji thought about it and remembered He Mao's persuasion, he had carefully considered it and then said goodbye, because he knew very well that no employer would agree to what he was going to do, and it was better to go back and accumulate it slowly than to hurt his past feelings and waste his time.

At this time, he returned here unexpectedly, and saw this kind of special thing, and inexplicably came a little interested, he had not seen these elsewhere or in books, and he couldn't guess the mystery.

"Since the last time I went back to the mountain temple, I have seen that this Bangyan Gong will not do useless things, but it is a pity that many people have not recognized this. ”

Immediately waved goodbye to his companions, and in their puzzled eyes, Li Huaiji rode his horse behind the crowd of recruits and followed the servants along the road.

It was not too far to arrive at a place, that is, two or three miles away, and then to a military camp.

As soon as he saw it, Li Huaiji suddenly felt an awe-inspiring feeling in his heart, that is, he sank, and sighed secretly: "This army has a lot of military spirit

Seeing people coming, there was a burst of drums, and a group of soldiers came out, although there were only about 100 people, but they faintly formed a military formation, Li Huaiji looked carefully, and saw that these were well-trained, some greeted them, some looked at the sentry tower, and some patrolled the camp wall.

Torches are lit on the walls, and they are special torches that shine brightly.

I saw from afar, a person patrolling, with ten personal soldiers, guarding every inch, vigilantly looking around, without saying a word.

A rough voice came from inside, and immediately these soldiers who were advancing to greet them all stopped, and they all kept a strict marching array, which was indeed a prohibition, and when they stood and glanced at it, the evil aura made the chaotic crowd suddenly calm down

The middle person, wearing armor, looked less than forty years old, with a heavy beard, and was full of thick evil energy, and around him, were two sturdy soldiers, standing steadily, the iron leaves on their bodies shining with cold light in the cold wind.

The man said, "I'm Zhang Fangbiao, the head of the cavalry team, you will ride a horse and stand up."

"Me"

"I would—"

"Get out of the way......"

Someone immediately responded, Li Huaiji was hesitant to say whether to go out of his way, although his demeanor was uninhibited, he was very careful when joking with respected friends.

It's okay to watch it with you, and then go up and cross the line.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a strange whistle, and someone shouted: "Thunder, everyone close their ears"

As if a conditioned reflex, several soldiers' expressions changed dramatically in an instant, and they bent down and half-knelt.

I only heard a loud "boom", and suddenly the mountains shook, the grass and trees fell, everyone swayed as if they were drunk, and their ears were buzzing, and even the rain curtain was ...... No, the heavens and the earth are shaking.

The crowd's vision was blurred by fear, with pillars of fire, clouds of smoke, the pungent smell of sulfur, the smell of steel, and most importantly, the aroma of boiling spirits......

Li Huaiji woke up from his dizziness, and he didn't even realize that the wine bottle had already fallen to the ground.

He settled down, under the firelight in the barracks, more than a dozen various family flags surrounded the red leaf flag, these other family soldiers all exclaimed, some drew swords, some knelt on the ground, some galloped, suspected of Tianwei.

But after the initial shock, Li Huaiji saw that all Ye Jiajun, although he briefly bowed to the people and half-knelt and closed his ears, but then he stood up one after another and continued to stand at his post.

Li Huaiji suddenly realized that he asked a Ye family soldier, "What is this?"

"A thunderball made by the king. The soldier said proudly.

"Is it a human-made thunderball?" Li Huaiji listened, strangely not afraid, only an excited and irrepressible resonance rose in his bones, making him hold his breath for a while, staring at the crimson fire that rushed to the sky with a few longings, and even the black clouds were reflected in color......

This is what I Li Huaiji longs for, man-made things, things that expel all aliens, and the heavenly fire caused by the first thunder and lightning in ancient times is nothing more than that......

Since childhood, he has hit a wall, persisted, and become paranoid at the worst, as if his unpredictable dream suddenly turned into a lottery ticket, and in some wonderful anticipation mood, he heard a familiar and clear laughter: "Ladies and gentlemen, can this thing be used to attack the fortifications?

With this sound, the blazing air dispersed, and the wind carried the raindrops, blowing through the hunting flags, whirring through the sunken wooden fences and the crowd, and swaying into the distant darkness......

"This Pingshou is about to change. Li Huaiji looked up at Shen Yun, his expression was a little enlightened, and he gradually showed a fanatical color

"We want to sign up for ......" After the shock, some bold adults shouted, and in the midst of these chaotic voices, Li Huaiji walked through.

The heads of the houses were rushing in one after another, and as if they were afraid of being alarmed, they bypassed all kinds of yellow iron flakes, glass shards, and charred black liquor on the ground, and cautiously arrived at a safe place.

Lu Shangjing's eyes danced faintly in the firelight, and said, "Everyone, everyone must have taken a closer look at the situation here, this is Ye Huolei." ”

"Although the formula of this leaf fire thunder is not easy, it is extremely powerful, as long as it is prepared properly, even a real human body is difficult to use as a thunder strike"

"Of course, this is still a mortal method, and the immortal thunder is quite or even surpassing. ”

"But we are all scholars, understand the power of this method, at this time is the safety of the county at stake, you want to join the covenant, when the alliance is sworn to swear, if you don't want to join, please leave quickly. Speaking of this, Lu Shangjing's face was so cold that it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

There are four kinds of relationships in this world, the guest king, the covenant, the master and servant, and the monarch and minister.

The relationship between the monarch and the subject must be difficult to dissolve, and those who abolish it often have the name of usurpation.

The relationship between master and servant is basically the same as that of a monarch and a minister, but certain conditions can be dissolved, such as a servant who has won the imperial examination or become an official, and can redeem himself.

The guest is a doorman, which is basically an employment relationship and can be terminated at any time.

And the covenant is in the middle, that is, everyone swears an alliance and makes a covenant, and the leader of the alliance has the identity of half a monarch and is the eldest brother.

Once this is decided, there are certain constraints.

The heads of the family couldn't help but look at each other, and they fell silent for a while.

Li Huaiji rushed up, but because the situation was different, he was blocked by the guards, and then he shouted: "Bangyan Gong, is it that even the old man is gone?"

This sound broke the silence, Ye Qing looked at it in a blink of an eye, got acquainted, waved his hand, and smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Li, come in"

Li Huaiji stepped forward, and when he was five steps away from Ye Qing, he suddenly ignored the fact that this was a potholed and messy test site, so he bowed down: "Huaiji is willing to work for the public service dogs and horses."

The heads of the family looked a little strange, and at this time, someone rushed to work, was it the Ye family's trust?

It's unbelievable......

Looking at them with their secret attention, they were surprised and even a little surprised when they saw that Ye Qing was silent and said cautiously: "Why do you follow me?"

"Male, my peers too. ”

"Goodness"

The heads of the family are a little contemptuous, such a trust, still performing?

It's just that the performance is despised no matter how good the performance is, whether the performance is good or not, but the strength and interests are decided, at this time, there are some small families, after careful consideration, I feel that it is not bad to establish a covenant to watch over each other.

Who is not investing?

At that moment, several family heads stood up: "A certain wish to make an alliance with the Ye family, worship Bangyan Gong as the leader of the alliance"
