Chapter 3: The Great Yan Dynasty

This village is not big, there are only more than ten households, and the two of them looked around, and no one else was still lit.

So Duan Fei said with a bitter face, "Brother Yuan, it seems that Zhengda Guangming is no longer feasible, what do you say should be done now? I'm really hungry." ”

Qi Haoyuan ignored him, turned around and walked forward. After walking about ten steps, someone suddenly followed behind him and shouted, "Two little brothers, please stay." ”

The two turned back, but the person who came was the daughter of the rickety old man.

According to the standards of the earth in the 21st century, this woman is not yet 18 years old, and she should still be in high school at this time, but the two of them have graduated from Peking University for almost ten years.

Therefore, the woman should call them big brothers, but at this time the title is "little brother", fortunately, it is night, and the woman does not see the embarrassing black line on the faces of the two.

"Your father swept my brothers out of the house, why are you still here, do you want to see our jokes?" Duan Fei said angrily.

The woman hurriedly shook her head and explained, "No, my father is a good person, you are unknown, and it is night again, my father is afraid that you are evil." ”

"Joke, have you ever seen such a handsome bad guy?" Duan Fei was very depressed, even if he slammed the door, he would be wronged as a bad person, this deal was too cost-effective, "Okay, even if we are bad guys, why do you have to come with us, aren't you afraid of us?"

"Fei'er, forget it, don't talk about it. Qi Haoyuan took a step forward and stopped Duan Fei, looking at the woman, the woman's face was full of melancholy, and there was a trace of moisture in the corners of her eyes, obviously she had cried before.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Qi Haoyuan asked flatly, "Are you coming here now, is it related to us?"

The woman shook her head, but the corners of her eyes were moist again.

"Damn, as soon as a woman cries, I'm at a loss, brother, it's up to you!" Duan Fei decisively took a few steps back.

Qi Haoyuan paused and asked, "Do you have something to tell us?"

The woman bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "The two little brothers are hungry, come back with me to eat something first." ”

"I want to remind you, your father has turned us both away, and if you take us back now, aren't you afraid that your father will cut us with a kitchen knife?" Duan Fei popped up from behind Qi Haoyuan and said with a smile.

"It's okay, my dad has gone to sleep, I'll take you to the kitchen. The woman pointed to the room at the very end.

"Brother Yuan, how about it, do you want to go with her? Anyway, I'm really hungry. Duan Fei looked at Qi Haoyuan and gave him a look.

Qi Haoyuan thought for a moment and nodded. He knew that there must be something wrong with the Dao woman, otherwise he wouldn't have run out secretly, and this matter should be difficult to talk about, or he wouldn't have thought of bribing them first. He also understood what Duan Fei meant by giving him a look, in fact, he also thought that Duan Fei was just asking for his thoughts.

Seeing Qi Haoyuan nodding, Duan Fei smiled helplessly, and said with a smile, "The sheep is in the tiger's mouth, hehe......" The voice was not loud, only Qi Haoyuan heard it.

The two followed the woman to the kitchen quietly, and the woman began to get busy, making a hearty meal, fragrant steamed buns, golden buttery roast chicken, and delicious side dishes. The hospitality was difficult, and the two were not reserved, they ate and drank with an open appetite, and leaned back on the chair with the most satisfaction.

"Brother Yuan, take other people's short hands and eat other people's short mouths. Duan Fei smiled maliciously.

At this time, the woman had already put away the remaining scraps. Reflecting the light, the two clearly saw the woman's face, which was not exquisite, but the face was very clean, the eyes were big, clear and bright, and the two small dimples on the side of the mouth were very cute.

Qi Haoyuan stood up and said, "We have already eaten your meal, you can talk about it now, rest assured, we are not bad people, we will definitely help you as long as we can do what we can." ”

The woman looked at Qi Haoyuan, a little confused, the two little brothers in front of her were talking, looking like adults, and they really didn't match their age, but she didn't think much about it, and glanced at Duan Fei with her eyes, as if she was asking for Duan Fei's meaning.

Duan Fei smiled and said, "He has the final say, just tell him." ”

The woman plucked up her courage and said, "Okay, I'll just say it, I know it's a bit immoral to do this, but I really can't help it." ”

"It's okay, let's talk. Qi Haoyuan motioned for her to continue.

The woman nodded and continued, "Tonight, the imperial court sent people down to recruit soldiers, in the past year, this is the first time that Lu Dao has been conscripted, more than half of the men in the village have been requisitioned, and now the remaining men are hiding outside, only the old and young women and children are left in the village, but the official gave an order, if he does not hand over people at noon tomorrow, he will forcibly arrest people and go to the battlefield, how is this good?" Speaking of this, the woman burst into tears and couldn't cry.

Duan Fei glanced at Qi Haoyuan, and his eyes were clearly saying, "If you ask the two of us to replenish their numbers for a meal, this deal is really cost-effective." ”

"Forget it, you don't have to continue, we have all understood, I just want to know Lu Dao, are the two of us enough?" Qi Haoyuan said indifferently.

Hearing this, the woman was stunned, and then burst into tears, but the tears continued to flow, and she couldn't stop nodding, "Enough is enough, each village only needs to hand over two men." Thank you two younger brothers, you are my great benefactor, my father is more than fifty years old, he will die on the battlefield, the two younger brothers are very kind, the little woman has nothing to repay, and she will make you a cow and a horse in the next life. As she spoke, the woman was about to kneel down and kowtow to the two, but Qi Haoyuan's eyes were quick, and he stretched out his hand to support him, not accepting such a big gift.

"Silly Fei, you have no opinion, right?" Qi Haoyuan looked at Duan Fei with a wry smile.

Duan Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are all pretending to be a big hero and promised others, what else can I say." Hey, eating people has a short mouth, and there's really nothing wrong with that. ”

"Come on, what do you think, I'll already see. Let's just make up for our childhood dream of being a soldier!"

"Ha Lu Ha-" The two ** laughed.

The woman was very excited, and hurriedly ran to wake up her father and informed her of the incident.

After a while, I saw the rickety old man walking over tremblingly, with a smile on his face, no longer the indifferent expression that turned the two away before.

The old man greeted for a while, and was busy preparing wine and food for the two, but was stopped by the two. Duan Fei didn't say it, but the expression on his face betrayed his thoughts: If you want my brothers to work hard for you, just like your grandson, just now I asked you to give you something to eat, so reluctantly. If it weren't for the kindness and good-heartedness of my two brothers, if you were someone else, the ghost would have ignored you!

The old man also knew that he was at a loss, so he kept serving tea and water to the two of them, and asked his daughter to prepare a guest room for the two. The old man enthusiastically chatted with the two for a stick of incense, which made people mistakenly think that this was a reunion of old friends after a long absence, but in fact it was just the first time they met.

In the process of chatting, Qi Haoyuan and the others consciously or unintentionally listened to a lot of information from the old man's mouth, and had a preliminary understanding of this world.

This world is very large, it seems to be boundless, the old man's experience is limited, he doesn't know it, he only knows that the land at the foot of the road is called Kyushu, and the boundary they are now in is Yongzhou, one of the Kyushu, located at the very edge of Kyushu.

And Kyushu is only a part of this world, beyond Kyushu, there is a much wider land, the land is surrounded by the sea, and the sea has no end...... In short, this world is very big.

In the land of Kyushu, there have been countless glorious dynasties, and the ancient dynasties prospered for tens of thousands of years, but they were all destroyed in the quicksand of time. Now ruling Kyushu is the Great Yan Dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty has unified Kyushu for more than 9,000 years, the country is stable, the territory of Kyushu has been expanded, which has also led to the border of the Great Yan Dynasty every year of war, and the people are miserable.

......

It was late at night, and the two of them went to sleep, but this night was destined to be sleepless.

As an earthling in the 21st century, he is keen on archaeology, has a soft spot for the ancient civilization, is overjoyed by the Heaven-Locking Array, and is shocked by the Zhuxian Sword Array, but he never thought that he would simply say goodbye to the familiar earth without paying attention.

When you come to this strange world, it is impossible to be calm at this moment as a person.

"Yu Gong" recorded, according to legend, Yu ruled the water, the world divided into Kyushu, so Kyushu became synonymous with China, here is also known as Kyushu, even the names of the nine states are strikingly similar, which can not help but surprise the two.

"Could it be that this is ancient China?" Qi Haoyuan was a little skeptical.

However, from the mouth of the old man, I learned that Kyushu is vast and vast, and one of these states alone is larger than the territory of China on the earth. Obviously, this is not the Earth, and it has a very different division from the Earth section.

So how do you explain this striking similarity, is it just a coincidence?

The sky was slightly bright, and there was already chaos outside, and the courtyard of the village chief's house was crowded with people. The words left by the officers and soldiers when they left last night made the people in the village toss and turn all night, no, as soon as the day dawned, these people came to the village chief's house early to discuss countermeasures.

The village chief still bent his body, trembling and walked out, but the spirit was obviously much better than yesterday, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, everyone saw that the village chief was full of energy, smiling, all puzzled, and then the village chief told everyone about last night's events, and suddenly the courtyard sounded cheers.

Qi Haoyuan and Duan Fei were in a daze all night, and they didn't fall asleep at all, and at this time, the noise outside was so loud, they naturally woke up.

Duan Fei shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Yuan, listen, these people are cheering for us! I really don't know what kind of psychology they have for hiding the men of their own family, and we go to the battlefield for them, but they are so happy, it makes people feel cold." ”

"Hehe, it's just human nature, we are just strangers to them, even if they die on the battlefield, these people can't be sad, now we take risks for their men, do you think they can be unhappy!" Qi Haoyuan also shook his head, secretly sighing at the selfishness of human nature.

"Hehe, then the two of us are really stupid, we agreed to them for a meal!"

"What if we don't agree, do we really watch this group of old and young people being dragged into battle and sent to death? No matter how we say it, we are also men, and when we encounter this kind of thing, even if they don't ask us, we can't stand idly by. ”

"Hehe, too, who told us not to be bad people!"

The atmosphere was very relaxed, and both of them had a good mentality, and they were not confused because they had traveled to this strange world, nor were they worried about going to the battlefield in the next moment.

The officers and soldiers came to ask for people at noon, and in the morning, the old and young in the village were busy, and everyone took out delicious food from their homes and set up several tables in the courtyard of the old village chief's house to practice for the two. Someone also brought the two of them a few clothes that fitted, and two large bags of dry food for the road were prepared, which was also considered a little conscience for the two, so that the two of them were a little comforted.

At noon, the officers and men of the previous night rode into the village on a tall horse, and at this time the banquet in the courtyard had not yet dispersed, and the village chief invited the officers and men to dismount and drink a few bowls of wine, and then gave a few words of advice before letting the officers and soldiers take the two away. Qi Haoyuan and Duan Fei each got on the horse of a soldier and quickly disappeared from the sight of the villagers.

The soldiers were very indifferent and silent all the way, passing through several villages and carrying a few young men before returning to the barracks.

It is said to be a military camp, but it looks as huge as a castle, and the walls are made of elevated buildings and stone bricks, which are very strong, and they are five or six feet high, and they are not easy to enter. The moat is also wide, 10 meters long, and the suspension bridge is raised high on weekdays, and it will only be lowered when people enter and exit.

Inside the camp is an endless barracks, which is really impossible to see at a glance, densely packed with them. In the center, you can see three huge training grounds, each the size of three or four football fields, gathering more than 100,000 people.

Qi Haoyuan and Duan Fei were taken to the exercise ground on the far right, at this time there were already many people sitting in the training ground, all of them were newcomers who were brought today, and then some people were brought one after another, and by the evening, thousands of newcomers had been gathered on the field.

Everyone sat cross-legged on the playground, not knowing each other, and occasionally talking a few words when they were close. Most of these ** are very young, the youngest is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the oldest is in his twenties. The atmosphere on the field was very dreary, and these people had their faces tense, like bitter melons, and it was obvious that they were all forced to join the army.

In the whole playground, it is estimated that Qi Haoyuan and Duan Fei are more special, first of all, the two of them have been smiling on their faces, and they can't see the slightest pessimism, and secondly, the two of them have very chic shapes, everyone else has long hair, but the two of them have short hair and comb their hairstyles, I'm afraid that there will be no third person in this world, and the last thing is that everyone else is depressed with their heads down, but they are chatting happily.

is so unusual, it naturally attracts attention, and from time to time someone on the field casts a look at the two of them, but in the end, no one takes the initiative to come forward to say hello.

When all the newcomers arrived, they began to register in turn, leading the army's clothing and daily necessities, and at this time it was considered to be a real enlistment.

Returning to the camp tent that had been assigned, and changing into a military uniform, Duan Fei was stunned, "Brother Yuan, isn't it very handsome?"

"Stupid, it's okay to be low-key, everyone else is depressed, you're good, laugh non-stop, I don't know how to think you're sick!" Qi Haoyuan also changed into a military uniform, this recruit's military uniform is obviously different from that of a veteran, the biggest difference is that the veteran's military shirt is black, and the delicate armor can protect the body, which is very domineering, while the recruit's military uniform is crimson, with only one breastplate, and it feels a little cut corners.

The beds in the tent were next to each other, no more than one and a half meters apart. Qi Haoyuan and Duan Fei's beds are adjacent, Duan Fei's bed is the other side of the end of this row of beds, Qi Haoyuan's side is a thin man, the man is not cleaning up the bed, nor trying on the military uniform, just leaning on the bed, not even taking off his shoes, dusty cloth shoes on the sheets, looking quite sloppy.

Qi Haoyuan and Duan Fei chatted while making their beds, intending to have a good night's sleep, so they didn't pay attention to the man, and the man had been staring at the two of them since he entered the camp, and from time to time he showed a puzzled look.

The man is a little more than 1.7 meters tall, his skeleton is not big, he looks quite thin, and he looks about twenty-three or four years old. When Qi Haoyuan cleaned up the bed and lay on the bed, the man finally spoke, not loudly, but Qi Haoyuan was very close to him, so he naturally heard it, "Seeing that you two are not very old, you shouldn't know the way yet, right?"

Qi Haoyuan was puzzled by the inexplicable question, so he turned his head to look at the man, "What do you know?"

"No wonder you two are so happy, it turns out that you really don't know anything, it seems that you have been fooled. The thin man seemed to have found an answer, and his expression relaxed, and he was no longer so depressed.
