Chapter 9: Mingtian Surrenders
After Lei Ming and Yang Tian left, they went to the grocery store in the town to buy some seasonings suitable for the wild, prepared some dry food and other daily necessities, and shared twenty yuan. Subsequently, the two inquired about the direction of the battlefield, spent four cents in the town for one night, and left the army in the northwest direction at dawn.
The two of them each carried a large cloth bag, straddled a short bow diagonally, and carried a brown-yellow hardwood Tang knife, but they were dressed as elite martial artists, but their stature was still too small, and they had only grown a few centimeters taller in the past three months, and they were still more than one meter and three. With the morning light on their backs, accompanied by the quiet birdsong, the two of them wandered casually along the three-meter dirt road between the mountains and forests, but the speed should not be underestimated, and one step was three or four meters away, and they disappeared at the bend of the road in a blink of an eye.
At nearly noon, the two stopped at the edge of a small stream with a rushing water to rest, blowing a refreshing mountain breeze, and the sultry heat of the recent summer disappeared a lot. Yang Tian nibbled on dry food and asked: "Lei Ming, do you think we will want our small body to go to the army?" ”
"Well, that's a bit of a problem. It will take another two or three years for our bodies to grow back into our adult form. But I didn't say I wanted to join the army, I just wanted to see how people fight. Lei Ming mused.
Yang Tian thought to himself that wouldn't it be a trip for nothing, and immediately blackened his face and said, "What's so good about that." ”
Lei Ming sneered, "Then what can you do with this kid's appearance?"
Yang Tian was silent.
Lei Ming continued: "Can you cook in the army, can you herd cattle in the field, and can you raise chickens at home?" Seeing that Yang Tian was still silent, Lei Ming couldn't help but smile and said: "Teasing you! Let's try our best to find a chance to enter the army." There is no shortage of records in Chinese history books of young people joining the army, and we still have a chance. Moreover, if we want to do something big, we still have to have enough manpower and material resources, and we can command more people by joining the army and making military achievements. This is one of the quicker methods. ”
"Then what if you can't get in?" Yang Tian regained some confidence and asked his own questions.
Lei Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." If you can't get in, you will go back to your home, go to the emperor here to find an errand, or go to another place to occupy an area and become a king, and then you will not be able to wander the world. ”
"Scared, is it so difficult to start?" Yang Tian said angrily: "I'm still thinking about how to show my strength after I have people and things." ”
"Actually, we can always get into the army. Hack the other party's leader to death, bring a few heads over, and they will ask for us. If you can't do it again, I'll fucking cut him too!"
Yang Tian gasped: "Damn, Lei Ming, it turns out that you still have such a crazy side." Oh no, there used to be, otherwise we wouldn't be here. ”
"Hehe, last time it was an accident, an accident. Lei Ming touched his head apologetically, then patted Yang Tian on the shoulder and said, "However, we don't have nothing to do." ”
"Alas, unlucky! admit it! Go!" Yang Tian threw away the dry food in his hand that had not yet been eaten, and took the lead to walk forward, and Lei Ming hurriedly followed.
When the red sun was shining head-on, Lei Ming and Yang Tian finally turned around the mountain col and saw more than 100 neat tents in the distance five or six hundred meters away. At this time, the camp was full of smoke, and the noisy sound of pots and scoops colliding spread throughout the mountains. Seeing this scene, Lei Ming couldn't help but think: If two teams of cavalry sneak attack, I am afraid that there will be countless casualties.
Yang Tian sneered: "Such a camp can be destroyed by giving me two teams of cavalry." Lei Ming rolled his eyes and continued: "It's just that you don't have cavalry on your hands." Moreover, it is full of mountains, and even cavalry cannot run far. "He's not going to say I think that's the same way.
Yang Tian thought for a while, and said complacently: "There should also be an outpost, but there are few of us, and we are good, and people haven't found out." ”
"Come on, we're on the road! It's just that I haven't seen the masters here yet, so I don't know what level we are?" Lei Ming retorted.
When Lei Ming and the two walked more than 100 meters in front of the camp, the two halberd-wielding soldiers guarding outside the gate stared at the two of them, but they saw that the people were too small and did not come forward to ask. When the two of them walked 20 meters outside the gate, the soldier on the left shouted: "The two children in front of them stop!
The two stopped, and Yang Tianxuan shouted vividly: "We want to see your leader, we want to join the army!"
"Ha Lu Ha ~ Ha Lu Ha ~ " The two guards couldn't help laughing, and the soldier on the left said, "Go home and herd the cattle." You're too young to fight. ”
At this time, a patrol team of eleven people came out from behind the tent, and the leader shouted, "What happened!"
"Report to the captain, two children from outside the gate said they want to join the army!" the soldier on the left turned around and said loudly.
"He~hehe~" The other soldiers also laughed when they saw the two children.
The captain didn't laugh, he thought, there are barren mountains and mountains all around, but there are no people living there, this is a bit unusual, so he shouted: "Don't laugh! You have this fucking ambition and you will have destroyed Haotian a long time ago!" The laughter stopped, and he then ordered: "Come on, bring two children up!"
From his squad, a soldier with a sword ran out, and led Lei Ming and Yang Tian to the captain from outside the gate. Yang Tian was about to open his mouth to explain his intentions, but the captain saw that although the two were small, they were both carrying knives and bows, and they were walking strongly, he was afraid that there would be fraud in them, so he shouted: "Take it!" The soldiers behind the captain immediately formed a circle, surrounded the captain and Lei Ming, and pulled out bronze swords and pointed at the two of them.
Yang Tian was furious, and pulled out the Tang knife in his hand with a brush, and then heard a series of suppressed sounds of "Bang Bang ~ Bang Bang", "Bang Bang ~ Bang Bang", leaving a black shadow on the spot after disappearing;
When the captain saw this scene, he was about to attack in anger, only to hear the sound of brushing, felt a cold on the left side of his neck, and suddenly felt his scalp tingle, it turned out that Lei Ming pulled out a Tang knife and leaned on the captain's neck. Lei Ming's crisp and slightly threatening voice said: "Don't move, call your leader!
"Okay~ Okay, I'll call someone to ask the leader. The captain's voice trembled a little, and he ordered: "Come on, someone who is not dead, go and invite Tong Dashuai to come over!" The soldier on the left side of the gate ran into the camp.
After a while, a calm breath came and the wailing gradually subsided. Lei Ming and Yang Tian looked at the breath, and saw a tall, thin, white-faced, bearded middle-aged officer with two guards and the Yuanmen soldier who reported the news, walking steadily from the camp passage. Standing ten meters away, the officer's hoarse and majestic voice said, "This officer is the supreme commander here. Two children, I don't know where you come from, what are you doing here?"
Yang Tian couldn't help but be furious when he heard another suspicious inquiry, and was about to attack and put them down as well, when Lei Ming shouted: "Yang Tian, don't worry!" Yang Tian suppressed his anger and did not move, and Lei Ming then said to the officer: "We are from that town in the rear, and we are here to join the army. ”
"Is there a token?" the officer asked.
Lei Ming was also annoyed, brushed the ground and swept past the officer, standing two meters to the left behind the officer. The two guards were nervously drawing their swords, and the officer who was in shock suddenly noticed a few strands of hair falling from the corner of his left eye, and turned his surprise into joy. Two little friends, please come and sit down. Then he turned and strode towards the manager's tent.
Lei Ming signaled to Yang Tian, whose anger was gradually fading, and the two also walked towards the commander's tent in the afterglow of the setting sun.
In the commander's tent sat down, Lei Ming and the two sat on the lower left of the main seat, the two guards set up the tent door, and four or five lamps were lit in the camp, which was quite bright. The officer said, "The two little friends sit down for a while, and we will talk while eating." Then he ordered the soldiers to prepare the banquet. Lei Ming and the two nodded silently, and they still had the patience to sit and wait for a while.
Then, the officer said sincerely: "Officially introduce, my surname is Tong, my name is Wenzheng, and I am the commander of the headquarters." Lei Ming also introduced it dignifiedly: "I am thundering." Then he pointed to Yang Tian and said, "He is my brother Yang Tian." Yang Tian saluted. Tong Dashuai returned the salute and said, "Fortunately, fortunately!" At this time, the soldiers brought fragrant barbecue meat and wine to each table.
Tong Dashuai poured a full bowl of wine, raised the bowl and invited: "Today, I am fortunate to have two little heroes to vote, which will increase the strength of our department, Tong Mou will do it first as a respect!" Seeing this, Lei Ming and Yang Tian also hurriedly poured a full bowl and drank it, Yang Tian was at the bottom of the drink, and Lei Ming only took a sip. "Good amount of wine!" Tong Dashuai praised, then poured another glass, and when he was about to raise his glass, Lei Ming dissuaded: "Da handsome and slow! We are young, so we should not drink more, it is better to eat something." Tong Dashuai nodded approvingly, put down the wine bowl, and said, "Please!"
In the subsequent dinner, Tong Dashuai and Yang Tian drank a few more bowls, I am afraid that there are eight taels of drinks, and half of the bowl of Lei Ming is left. Yang Tian's wine surged, his face was already red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't speak well, he praised Tong Dashuai and said, "Dashuai...... Strict management of the army, we ...... ...... in Yuanmen It's noisy, but it's not ...... Too many soldiers...... Onlookers. Brat...... Admire!" After speaking, he raised his hand and saluted.
Tong Dashuai Ha Lu Ha smiled heartily, and in the firelight, the red of the two cheekbones was embellished on the pale face, which looked a little weird. He smiled: "Those bunnies were sent by me to ambush on the periphery, otherwise they wouldn't have surrounded you two inside and out!"
"No matter how much you circumfer...... I also...... The same...... Knock over!" Yang Tian stood up and swayed a little, and said angrily.
Lei Ming was shocked when he heard it, and secretly thought that this Tong Dashuai really had a hand, but fortunately he didn't let Yang Tian mess around; Lei Ming hurriedly pulled Yang Tian to sit down, and said with a smile: "The handsome man is smiling, Yang Tian is drunk." ”
Tong Dashuai smiled: "It's okay, this is the true temperament." Then he shouted, "Come, help the two little heroes to rest in the tent." ”
Immediately, a guard outside the tent door answered "yes" and came in to lead Lei Ming and the two to rest.
