Xie Tong listened to Wang Daoxun talk about his military career like a few family treasures, and his heart was quite moved, and he asked, "When will Xie Tong have the glory of an adult if he has made meritorious contributions in his life, only to achieve the position of a festival envoy." His words revealed an unspeakable sense of loss.

Wang Daoxun continued, "Why should the virtuous nephew give up lightly, now a great opportunity is in front of him, the imperial court will go south, if he can capture Huangchao, he will become the first person to quell the rebellion, and he can rise to the top."

A powerful light shot out of Xie Tong's eyes, he had never thought of this. Thinking of the various actions of the Huangchao Rebels, especially the actions of His Holiness Datuk and others, it is indeed indignant for people and gods, and it is intolerable to heaven. If he can lead the army to exterminate the rebel army and capture Huang Chao, Datuk and others, he will have outstanding military achievements and have a great chance to fight against the clan valve. Suddenly thinking of Zhu Wen's parting words, if he met on the battlefield one day, he would not show mercy, and his heart faintly welled up with excitement and helplessness, this brother with excellent martial arts and resourcefulness seemed to have foreseen the moment when the two faced each other on the battlefield. Xie Tong was full of admiration for Zhu Wen, although he couldn't bear it, he couldn't live up to his expectations.

Thinking of this, Xie Tong stood up suddenly, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Xie Tong is willing to join your command, and please accept it." ”

Wang Daoxun finally couldn't control the joy in his heart, laughed, and said excitedly, "Xie Tong, you really didn't disappoint the old man, but don't rush everything, taking care of your injuries is the king, the battlefield is different from martial arts, and there are still many things you have to learn."

Xie Tong nodded hurriedly in agreement.

Wang Daoxun seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "The virtuous nephew seems to be quite close to the little girl Wanru, I don't know if there is such a thing!"

Xie Tong said in his heart, this is none of my business, it is your daughter who is chasing me, but he didn't dare to say this, and said busily, "My lord Mingjian, Xie Tong and Miss are not familiar with each other." ”

Wang Daoxun couldn't hide the smile in his heart, and said, "When is it! I still hide it from the old man, the little girl is tricky and willful, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will discipline him more in the future!"

Xie Tong has one head and two big. It seems that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, so I can only laugh helplessly.

Xie Tong returned from Lord Wang and returned to the room where he was recuperating from his injuries. Several people in the room were waiting for him, in addition to Wang Wanru, there were also Yi Wuxing and Xiang Chengzhi.

Wang Wanru said resentfully: "What did my father say to you?"

Xie Tong looked at Yi Wudaunt as if he was pleading.

Yi Wudaunt shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is what I want to know!"

Xie Tong smiled bitterly, sat down at the table, took a sip of hot tea, and did not make a sound.

Wang Wanru was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

Yi Wuxing smiled and said, "Look at this kid's fearless look, I really want to squash you and tell me, how did you decide."

Xie Tong said in his heart, he was still fearless and shrewd enough, and guessed the purpose of Lord Wang's search for him. "I decided to join the Hebei Army. ”

"What?" Wang Wanru and Xiang Chengzhi let out unbelievable surprises at the same time, and then Wang Wanru jumped up happily.

Xie Tong looked at them, but Yi was fearless and impermanent, but the surprise in his eyes was revealed.

Yi Wuxing stretched out his big hand, and Xie Tong shook it tightly with him.

Yi Wudaunt said, "I already knew that there was this day, it was time to show your strength, but with your current state, you still need to experience, marching and fighting is not a battle in the rivers and lakes, it is far more dangerous than that, from tomorrow, I will teach you personally."

Xie Tong said, "Look at the way you speak, it's the same as an adult, I really want to squash you."

Wang Wanru helped Xie Tong on the bed of the king, and said angrily, "Wait until you recover from your injuries! She spoke like Xie Tong's little lady, and looked at Yi Wuxing when she said the last sentence.

Yi Wuxing smiled and said, "Old Xiang, let's go quickly! Miss is complaining about us!"

The two laughed and left Xie Tong's hospital room.

Xie Tong pretended to be casual and leaned on the side of the bed, gently closing his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate. He deliberately ignored Wang Wanru.

Wang Wanru saw that everyone else was leaving, and she sat at the other end of the bed. looked at Xie Tong with wide eyes, and said softly, "Big Brother", his voice was extremely weak.

Xie Tong looked at the back of this lovely woman, thinking of the lovely person who was far away in Chang'an, and he had a complicated feeling in his heart, it seems that this choice is correct, only by letting himself have power, can he have the capital to deal with enemies and even clans.

The next day, when the sky was just gray, Yi Wuxing picked Xie Tong up from the bed. "What time is it, still sleeping! Hurry up and train." ”

Xie Tong had already forgotten about yesterday's events and said, "I haven't recovered from my injuries yet!"

Yi Wuxing didn't care so much, he picked him up directly, and said, "Put on your clothes and follow me out of the city."

Xie Tong said, "Where are you going!"

Yi Wudaunt said, "Of course, it's the school field."

Xie Tong was neatly dressed and rode out of the city with Yi Wudaugh.

Along the way, General Yi Wudaunt told Xie Tong a few things. Mounted archery is a compulsory subject for any soldier, and any soldier must learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows, therefore, cavalry and archers are indispensable forces on the battlefield.

Xie Tong listened with relish, since the injury, it was the first time since he left Wang Daoxun's mansion and was able to see the face of Luoyang City.

Since the uprising of Huangchao and Wang Xianzhi, most of the battles took place in the Central Plains with Luoyang as the center, Luoyang has been war-torn, most of the rich merchants and clans moved to Chang'an, and Luoyang has lost the magnificent scene of the prosperous eastern capital. As far as the eye can see, it is full of desolation.

The school field of the military camp was just outside Luoyang City, and Xie Tong and the others quickly arrived at the school field.

Although it was a cold winter, the soldiers still got up early to practice and were not afraid of hard work. Xie Tong was even more moved, and he was not angry because he got up early.

Yi Wuxing stood on the edge of the school field and said to Xie Tong, "Brother, from today onwards, you will be a soldier, and soldiers must obey orders, I order you to join the team immediately and practice with the army." ”

Xie Tong gritted his teeth, turned over and dismounted, and walked into the training team.

Teams practice running with weights. A soldier had already prepared iron armor for Xie Tong, and Xie Tong wore it on his body, and he was very addicted. This armor is less than sixty or seventy pounds, and the thick iron armor is enough to block the attack of ordinary arrows, and the armor covers most of the body, which is very bulky......

Xie Tong said in his heart, is this what you have to wear on the battlefield, it is strange that the soldiers can run fast if they are so bulky. But he was really taken aback, everyone ran forward in an orderly manner, no one was left behind, and the pace was surprisingly consistent.

Xie Tong suddenly felt that joining the army was not a good thing, but how could he give up lightly in the training session. He hurriedly followed.

After a weight-bearing run in the first noon, Xie Tong was exhausted, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to flow down his cheeks, even if he practiced martial arts since he was a child, he still couldn't bear it.

During the break, Yi Wudaught walked over and asked, "How!"

Xie Tong wanted to take off the bulky armor immediately, but he still held back and said, "It's nothing, I just feel very hungry."

Yi Wuxing suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, "I actually forgot this, there is not food on the battlefield all the time, it is common to starve and fight, I will give you special training another day, you have been pampered for so many days, it is indeed time to suffer a little."

Xie Tong was about to scold him, when he suddenly heard Wang Wanru's shout, he followed the sound and looked, and between Wang Wanru and the maidservant Xiaoshuang ran from a distance, running over and over again and shouting, "Here."

The two of them came from far to near, Wang Wanru looked at Yi Wuxing with dissatisfaction and said, "Brother Yi, Brother Xie's sword wound is not completely healed! Isn't it too cruel for you to do this", although her words were said to Yi Wuxing, but a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Xie Tong.

Yi Wudaunt said, "Miss, this is all the meaning of the festival to make the adult, Brother Xie is recovering from a major injury, and he needs to exercise even more." ”

Wang Wanru said bitterly, "Big brother, have you eaten?" Xiaoshuang, quickly bring the food." ”

Xiaoshuang carried a large food box and stepped forward from behind.

Through the food box, Xie Tong could smell the fragrance. He was just about to open the food box, but Yi Wudang said coldly, "Slow, Xie Tong, as an ordinary soldier in the forward battalion, should eat with the soldiers, just like the kindness of the young lady, I have to take care of Brother Xie." ”

Wang Wanru didn't follow, "But he hasn't recovered yet, he needs to be replenished!"

Yi Wudaunt said again, "Miss, on the battlefield, no one has special rights, even the festival makes the adults not, this is an immutable law, Brother Xie can endure the hardships and burdens today, and he will not be dragged down by these little things on the battlefield in the future, and he must not dine alone today." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they let out a loud applause.

Xie Tong knew that Yi Wuxing was for his good, this was to train his character and quality as a soldier, thinking of Zhu Wen's strong chest and unyielding spirit, he firmly said to Wang Wanru, "Wanru go back! Brother Yi is right." He ignored Wang Wanru's master and servant, and quickly integrated into the ranks of soldiers.

Wang Wanru and the others stayed where they were. Xiao Shuang stomped his feet angrily and said, "Miss, why is he so unkind."

Wang Wanru didn't make a sound, she looked at Xie Tong's back from afar, this is also what she was looking forward to, Xie Tong's unique courage, she said helplessly, "I still hope that Brother Yi will take care of him, Xiaoshuang, let's go." The two left the school yard in a carriage.

The soldiers' food was obviously very ordinary, eating dry food and vegetable soup, and Xie Tong ate extremely sweet. He hadn't lived such a hard day for a long time, and looking at the way the soldiers were accustomed to it, his heart ached faintly, and he was even more determined to stand up for the poor people.

That night, he did not return to Luoyang, but lived directly in the barracks. According to Yi Wudaunt, it is necessary to establish a deep relationship with the soldiers, and only in this way can you trust your comrades more on the battlefield.
