Chapter 229 Application(1/2)
The north wind is like a knife, raging the earth.
Autumn goes and winter comes, and although it has not yet snowed, the temperature has fallen by day.
In the early morning, everything is white.
"Dad...Wan'er hungry!"
Outside Quxu County, a father and daughter walked slowly.
The girl is about six or seven years old, wearing an indigo cotton jacket, with her skin in powder and jade-cut, and two maids tied with red ropes on her head. Her cheeks are red and very cute.
The father next to him was thin and his cheeks were a little thin. He touched his daughter's head with his rough big hands: "Wan'er, be good, when he arrives in the county, my father will buy you food."
His joints were thick, and even though he was wearing only a single dress, he didn't shivered at all, his cheeks were rosy, and his qi and blood were obviously extremely lively and vigorous.
Speaking of this, I touched my wallet, but I smiled bitterly.
He fled south in a hurry. He had fought with the enemy in Chu State before, and had no time to loot some gold and silver. At this time, there were only a few copper coins.
It is obviously a dream to want to eat and live in the county town for this little money.
However, with his skills, making some money is just a trivial matter. Although it goes against some of his ideas, what else can I say for my daughter? The only thing I am worried about is that I have provoked Wang Fa again and was wanted.
‘I don’t know how powerful the government is here?’
The middle-aged man looked up at the earthen wall, felt a little relieved, and came to the city gate.
Although it was early in the morning, a group of people entering the city gathered and lined up in an orderly manner.
The soldiers guarding the city were naturally Yunzhongwei, each with strong and strong armor, and awesome evil spirits on his body.
The leader of the army was wearing a long sword on his waist and wearing a black leather armor, embroidered with hideous shark patterns, which made the middle-aged man's eyelids twitch.
‘The mere city guards are so elite?’
‘And…that leather armor?’
Of course he didn't know that although the other party was just a sergeant, he had made contributions to the battle of Duan Yu in the north, and he rewarded a demon Kun leather armor on his back.
This demon Kun leather armor is as thin as a suit, not much weight, but its defense is comparable to that of the fine steel armor, and it also has the energy of the demon Kun, which can ward off evil spirits and poisonous insects.
Every Yun Zhongwei takes pride in this.
Before the new army was trained, it still allowed Yunzhongwei to maintain order and shock the young man.
Now it is not only a shock to the young, but also a middle-aged man is shocked.
Just because the soldiers guarding the city are like this, how many masters should be there in the city?
Some thoughts of breaking the law and ban were extinguished in an instant.
If you are alone, there are naturally no taboos. Even if you dare to go to the tiger's den, you will glance at your timid daughter next to you. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly again and lined up honestly.
I was puzzled in my heart how to get some money after entering the city and let my daughter have a good meal.
After approaching the city gate, several notices posted immediately attracted attention.
"One of your family's orders?"
In fact, this is to make each household re-apply for land acres, which immediately attracted a lot of discussion.
"Have you heard that? The Qu family has taken the lead in submitting to the population of land and reported the taxes according to the system. Fengjun also said that everything will not be blamed!"
"The Qu family has surrendered, how dare the other families resist? Recently, the monarchy has also been sent to rebuild the land!"
"No one dares to do anything wrong. The Xu family's example is still there... Are you not afraid of raiding the family and extermination?"
...
The Wu Yue people around him were talking, which made middle-aged people know that the local Fengjun was an extremely powerful character.
But not long after, his eyes were attracted by another list article: "Seeking for the Scholars?"
This is a manifesto, which generally means that Qu Xu enthroned the king and recruited soldiers and treated them with superior treatment. In addition, he also recruited wise men from all over the world, and talented people can recommend themselves.
"How can I explain this to the scholar?"
The middle-aged man asked a father-in-law next to him.
"You want to be a scholar, too?"
The father-in-law could see the identity of a middle-aged foreigner at a glance and sneered: "Mensheng, if you want to make a living, you still have to go to Xinzhang Camp, where you are recruiting new soldiers to train. At least three meals a day can't starve you to death. If you make meritorious contributions in the future, you can give it to the land. And this scholar, as long as you are evaluated, you will have land and houses immediately, and it will be hereditary... Don't think about it, do you think you are a master of martial arts or a Taoist sorcerer, and can you take a village as a fief?"
"Teach a village, become a fief? And hereditary?"
The middle-aged man abandoned the teasing and jokes in his words and grabbed the most important part, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Where is it?"
I immediately looked at the list article carefully, and left with my daughter in my arms.
"Dad, where are we going?"
Wan'er asked in a daze.
"Go and earn you a fortune." The middle-aged man looked firm and asked all the way to the Xinzhu Camp.
There are many people gathered here, all of whom are young and powerful.
"Listen!"
At the entrance of the huge camp, a man beat the gong hard: "The new soldiers are going to the left, and the recruits are going to the right!"
After entering the crowd, most of them went to the left and a small half went to the right.
‘The people enthusiastically joined the army. It seems that even if they are new soldiers, they will be treated well.’ The middle-aged man felt a little more at ease when he looked at this scene.
After following the crowd for a while, I came to a huge schoolyard.
There were dozens of gun-carried soldiers on both sides, armed to their teeth, standing straight like an iron golem.
This level is even higher than that of the guard guards in the gate.
‘This is...a elite soldier?!’ The middle-aged man was a knowledgeable man. He was shocked to see this and hurriedly looked at the head of the field.
I saw a young man in his twenties and thirties with a tall figure and awesome spirit in his every move. His eyes swept over and even he felt like he had been cut by a knife. He unconsciously lowered his head and was suppressed.
I knew in my heart that this elite soldier commander had to be above him, and he was definitely a master who broke through to enter the Tao with martial arts!
If the other party has malicious intentions, they will only kill them if they are slaughtered.
"I am in charge of the assessment. Anyone who is confident in his skills can come up!"
Qin Feiyu looked around and said loudly: "My Quxu has the rules and said, "Mage is classified as a warrior, and the mage is classified as a third-level warrior. Those who can be classified as a warrior do not need merits and immediately become a corporal! The same is true for a wise man. If there are Taoists, go to the camp for a test!"
He paused and said, "Our corporation is a title and leads a village as a fief, which can be hereditary."
After saying this, there was a commotion below, and several thin old men left the list and were introduced to the camp to detect Taoism.
The rest is naturally the assessment of the warriors.
"The first level, lift the stone!"
Qin Feiyu nodded and sat down, and a personal soldier came out and shouted.
At this moment, these warriors stepped forward one by one and began to test their strength.
‘The martial artists here seem to be ordinary warriors, while the martial artists are elite soldiers. If they want to be a warrior, they must get the master!’
The middle-aged man ignored the strange gazes around him, stepped forward expressionlessly, waved his hand and raised the thick stone lock, his arms and feet did not tremble at all, and seemed at ease.
This instantaneous manifestation immediately attracted the attention of the warriors next to him, knowing that this person is not bad at all.
"Um?"
On the venue, Qin Feiyu, who was supervising, was sipping fragrant tea. When he saw the middle-aged man with the little girl, his eyes lit up and walked up: "What a hero! Are you going to take the samurai exam?"
"Yes! It's just that I'm not a local, can I succeed?"
The middle-aged man gave his daughter a comforting smile and asked Qin Feiyu.
"Of course! You are eager to seek talent. As long as you join us, even if you are in trouble, we can take it!"
Qin Feiyu was very kind and had a good relationship. When he saw the middle-aged man coming with his daughter, he understood the number of points.
"Okay! My name is... Wu Ji!"
Wu Ji stood in the venue and performed a warrior ceremony. When he reported his name, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I am Wei Zheng, Yunzhongwei, Qin Feiyu! Are you empty-handed or a weapon?"
Qin Feiyu also came to the scene and actually wanted to check it out personally.
"I use a spear!" Wu Ji glanced at the spear in the hands of the dragon and snake elite soldiers and said.
"A coincidence, I am also practicing guns!"
Qin Feiyu laughed and took a long spear from the weapon stand, threw it into Wu Ji's hand, and took another one: "Check my three shots, you are a warrior!"
"Good gun!" Wu Ji took it, shook the gun flower, and his expression became solemn: "Sir, please!"
He had no choice but to eight feet under his feet, and the tip of his gun was slightly drooping, like a sleeping poisonous snake, but could defend against attacks from all directions.
Just a gun stand, Qin Feiyu nodded secretly: "Be careful, the first shot is the dragon and snake that starts from the land!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his gun came from bottom to top and came to Wu Ji. He flipped it suddenly, as if the earth had been overturned. This was the murderous intent of the earth!
