Chapter 193 Omen (Part 1)
Jingbei
"The bandit leader is right in front! Don't let the bandit leader escape!" The sun had begun to set westward, and the sky gradually darkened. On a small road near the river, more than thirty soldiers were chasing one person behind.
The man running in front was wearing a costume of a commoner, but had a fierce face, big arms and round waist, and was carrying a long blood-stained sword in his hand, and was hiking towards the river.
This man was extremely fast. Although he pursued many soldiers, he couldn't run slowly, but he couldn't catch up with him for a while.
Although it was January, the river in front had not frozen yet. The person running towards the river was obviously escaping by the idea of ​​escaping by the river. When he saw the river lying in front of him, he was not panicked, but instead showed joy on his face and his feet were faster.
"No! This guy is familiar with water! He is afraid he will escape by borrowing water! Never let him escape to the river!" Someone saw this, obviously knowing the inside story and shouted quickly.
Everyone is chasing people on foot, but if you speed up, where can you go faster?
"Don't panic! Look at me!" At this moment, a young man chased him from behind, and he said comfortably while running.
Everyone looked back and saw the man carrying a bow and arrow behind him. At this time, he took down an arrow, ran, pulled the bow and arrow, and then released it suddenly.
"Swish--Bang!"
"Ah!" The arrow shot very accurately. Although it was far away, it hit the back of the bandit leader in front. The other party even had time to scream and fell down with a plop.
"I shot! I shot! The bandit leader was shot!" Someone immediately screamed excitedly.
"Quick! Go and see if he is still angry!" someone reminded.
The soldier hurried over and after checking, the man on the ground was indeed dead.
"Wu Xingzong, you really have you. This archery technique is really good!" Among the group of people, a man obviously wearing the official uniform of the team stepped forward and looked over, saying.
"Don't say this by the squad leader. When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, you still need to command it. Without command, you can't do it no matter how strong the punches and archery work is." The young man said humbly with his head down.
Such a capable and humble subordinate was naturally very fond of him. After hearing this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed to the sky. He patted Wu Xingzong on the shoulder and said loudly: "Wu Xingzong, you are very good, very good!"
Talked and laughed, a group of people dragged the bandit leader's body back to the main business.
By the way, the main business is a 600-strong soldier, and it is natural to deal with hundreds of bandits. At this time, the battlefield has been almost completely cleaned.
Seeing the team that was chasing the bandit leader back, the guard watched first.
Of course, there were judges in the army who registered and supervised the results of the battle. At this time, the army was first established, and this aspect was still relatively clear.
When it was Wu Xingzong's turn, he wrote with his pen. Everyone was secretly surprised to see that he could write the book fluently, and showed an admiration.
No matter what, it is always admirable for those who can read and read.
The general of Wei looked at it and went up directly and asked, "You are Wuxingzong? How many of your beheadings have you been beheaded in total this time?"
"Sir Hui, Xingzong beheaded in total for five levels." Wu Xingzong replied respectfully.
"Level 5... Not bad!" General Guard stared at his heroic face and smiled gently: "Are you the deputy fire chief? He killed another level 5. He has made this merit less than a year after joining the army. It seems that he is a warrior!"
As he said that, he looked at Wu Xingzong, looked at him for a while, and said, "It is rare that you can understand literature and ink well. According to the military system, your current name can be added to the official list and you will also be given seventy acres and one cow."
If you behead the five levels and have no official position, you must be the fire. If you have more than the fire, you will be the official system and do not judge it by beheading. This is Wang Hongyi's law.
Seeing Wu Xingzong panic, he said again: "Why be humble? I was so old that I was still causing trouble at home when I was as old as you. It would be a pity that you have this ability and be a deputy chief..."
General Wei thought for a while and said, "I will appoint you as Chief of Fire now, but your fire is not lacking in real fire now. Let's do this. I will recommend you to study at the NCO Academy for a month, and you will take Chief of Fire to study!"
"... Thank you for your promotion." Wu Xingzong was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed down and kowtowed to thank him. The people around him also showed an envious look. Speaking of which, according to military merit, it is appropriate to promote the fire chief of ten people, but the fire chief is not an official, and it is difficult to promote it, because the fire chief above is not considered beheading.
No one promotes it, and it is possible to be prosperous for ten years.
This fire grows to the deputy team leader, and it is a threshold. Once you enter, you will be the official.
Now I go to the NCO Academy for a month. According to the convention, I am the deputy team leader, which is equivalent to crossing this threshold. This is indeed a great kindness.
"Hahahaha, that's right. Do your business well. If you want to make a future, just work hard." Patting Wu Xingzong's shoulder, the general of Wei smiled and encouraged him a few words. He was in a happy mood, but he was a little surprised.
I rarely appreciate it as soon as I meet, and give this rare opportunity to others, but even a few of my direct soldiers have no chance!
However, after thinking about it, after coming out, he was still assigned to his own guard, so he felt relieved.
"Yes!" Wu Xingzong endured his excitement and replied respectfully. While he was speechless, a small ball of white air suddenly condensed from the clouds above him. This was no longer the level of fire, but the level of the deputy team leader.
Five days later, Kobayashi Township
Wu Xingzong was walking, and he looked around with his back and waist, feeling very proud.
Tang Yuan followed behind.
According to his current Fire Chief level, there are no personal soldiers, but because he was recommended by the guard general to go to the NCO Academy, he will be the deputy team leader in a month, and the deputy team leader will have one personal soldiers according to the system.
Therefore, Wu Xingzong proposed to bring Tang Yuan with him, and the team agreed.
All the way, there are flat land. Looking around, the terrain is open and the soil is also excellent.
This is Xiaolin Township, Chenglu County. It has a superior environment, fertile land, convenient irrigation, and rice can be grown.
The King of Chu valued military merits the most, and some official land would be sent to the warriors. Although Wu Xingzong had no family, he still distributed seventy acres of land and a house.
After walking for a while, I saw a village.
Wu Xingzong was happy and couldn't help but speed up his pace and soon came inside.
In ancient rural areas, there was an indescribable smell coming in as soon as they entered, which was the smell of chicken, duck, cow and horse manure, combined with the smell of sewage. However, this was normal. Tang Yuan even took a greedy breath and swept around excitedly.
A stone tablet was erected at the entrance of the village, which recorded the basic household registration, name and number of people in the village, but this was very simple and not careful.
In addition, the situation of the village chief and military households is also listed in detail, which is very careful.
Tang Yuan stepped up and saw a new carving: "...The fire chief Wu Xingzong gave him 70 acres of land, a bow, a knife, and thirty arrows. Tang Yuan, a military household, and Han Liang, a military household, was given a field as usual..."
This is Wang Hongyi's policy. When tax collectors look at this monument, they will know the general situation.
Tang Yuan said excitedly: "Each household is twenty acres, and you have seventy acres. Be good, being a king's soldier is refreshing, and we have become landlords."
Wu Xingzong was happy inside, but he didn't speak. For some reason, after becoming the Fire Grown, he became deeper and deeper.
However, when I arrived in front of my house, I saw that the village chief was busy with his men and came to work on Wu Xingzong's home.
As soon as Wu Xingzong passed by, he heard a burst of laughter and a bold voice said: "Wang Huochang, welcome to my village to register households. Brother, I will congratulate you!"
However, the village chief Zhang Xinggong came over and carried some gifts!
Wu Xingzong hurriedly greeted him, and the two exchanged greetings for a while. At this time, Tang Yuan looked at the situation and his eyes turned red.
A guest in the inner question asked: "What are you worried about Mr. Tang Bing?"
Tang Yuan said, "You are all villagers who don't know what we are. We are all parents who have gone early, and have no property in the family. We have suffered a lot. We envy the families in the village back then. Now when we see our elder brother having a house and a field, we don't feel sad."
A guest said, "This is also the bad luck in the past. Look at Wu Huochang's future. In the future, he will marry a wife and grow branches and leaves, and the suffering will pass."
The village chief Zhang Xinggong laughed and said, "Yes, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, no descendants are the most important. With a land and a house and a wife, what's the use? Today, when you have a worry, everyone will discuss which family has a good daughter!"
Everyone said together: "The beauty of a gentleman is very true."
Wu Xingzong was also moved at this time. No matter how powerful he was, he felt that this was reasonable, but he hid it in his heart first, talked and laughed with everyone, set up a simple banquet, and drank it together.
Late at night, the two of them counted the gifts, most of them paid a few dollars, and some of them paid a lot of money, which was about twenty taels of silver.
The two of them recorded with a pen. By the way, people were in a happy mood when they were happy. After writing the records, they looked at a few chickens, fifty eggs, fried rice balls, etc., and Wu Xingzong sighed: "The luck is coming."
"Brother, it's not just that. I heard that you will be the deputy team leader when you go to the academy. This is the official position, and you will have the qualifications to prosecute and become a rank 6 or 7 in the future. Although you are above the fire, you will not be granted land directly, but your salary and rewards are enough to buy land."
Tang Yuan said, "Brother, I can also be a camp officer. In the future, I can live in the county and become a master. There are two or three hundred acres of land in the countryside, so we will make a fortune."
Wu Xingzong laughed loudly, his expression was a little dazed, his ears became very distant, and he felt a heat in his heart that was very turbulent, just to be a master in the county?
No, I want to make achievements, I want to have a wife and son, a high position and a powerful position, and a marquis and a duke!
He is a wise man. He knows that he has become the deputy commander, and the possibility of death in battle has dropped sharply, and the king has begun to develop his grand plans. There are many opportunities. As long as he catches one or two, it is not a dream to become successful.
