He naturally knew the origins of these people. They committed crimes, killed people, and became deserters. They climbed high in the capital and were able to escape crime and then came back.
Arrogance is arrogance, but this kind of soldier is not what he likes. Look, you dare to challenge him. What do you rely on? Isn't it just because there are people above?
What happened to the people above? Aren't they just a few soldiers? If you look for any fault in the army, and hit them with dozens of military sticks, it will either kill them or make them disabled. Who can find out his fault?
But he couldn't. This damn kid pulled out the Governor, and now he wanted to punish them with the following crimes. He was afraid that the news would reach the ears of the Governor, and he would inevitably be charged with such a crime.
"Xu Maoxiu." He shouted slowly.
"Young one is here." Xu Maoxiu responded.
The commander slowly ground his teeth.
"...I will investigate and deal with this matter myself." He said with a solemn face.
Looking at Xu Maoxiu and others exiting, and looking at the surprised expressions of the onlookers, the commander shook his sleeves fiercely.
Let's see!
When they walked out of the official hall, Xu Maoxiu and others felt refreshed, their anger was gone, and the beating was in vain. It was really a pleasure.
"What's there to be happy about offending others?"
Liulang's voice sounded from behind.
Xu Maoxiu turned around and saluted.
"It's always difficult to have both ends of the world." He said, "Besides, offending someone who is not kind to you is not an offense."
Zhou Lang burst out laughing and scoffed again.
He really followed that woman's example and was so arrogant that he didn't bother to pay attention to these people anymore.
"Sir." Xu Maoxiu called him.
Liulang stopped and looked back.
"Thank you for your concern, sir." Xu Maoxiu saluted him and said with a smile.
Zhou Lang turned around and strode away with a stiff look on his face.
Xu Sigen only found out about this after meeting Xu Maoxiu and others. He was surprised, anxious and worried.
"What are you doing!" he shouted, "our brothers finally got a chance to come back, are we going to run for our lives again?"
"Fourth brother, what are you afraid of? What you just said was so good. That's right. They bullied Fourth Brother because they were blaming the governor." Xu Bangchui laughed. There were still wounds on his face. It hurt and twitched when he laughed.
Extremely funny.
Liu Kui snorted from the side.
"So what? What kind of pride is it to use Du Jian to suppress the commander?" He said, "The general in the camp is the best. It is really easy to deal with you few. Do you think you can take Du Jian this time?"
By any chance, the commander will be afraid of you? It’s really ridiculous. They will only think about how to deal hard with you. They can’t kill you. They can beat your brother half to death with a few blows of the military stick. Who can say anything? Even if you say nothing,
It’s too late…”
My Liu family has been in the army for generations, and I had to keep my tail between my legs in the army. Even so, I got into an errand and was forced to wear small shoes, and was driven out of the northwest to the capital to work as a waste for the elderly.
What confidence does a guy without a clan have?
Or maybe it's stupid...
These words made Xu Sigen's expression even more anxious and worried, and Xu Bangchui snorted.
"None of your business." He shouted with a glare.
"It's all because of you, I'm also implicated." Liu Kui shouted with eyes wide open, pointing at the injuries on his face.
Xu Bangchui chuckled.
"You boasted so much and got beaten like this," he said.
"I'm not dragged down by your uselessness!" Liu Kui shouted.
The two of them were quarreling here, but Xu Sigen's expression was still ugly.
"What should I do?" he said. "It's hard to find fault when being commanded. It's easy to make mistakes. So why bother to blame someone when the time comes?"
"Fourth, don't worry, we will be fine," Xu Maoxiu said.
"How can you be so sure?" Xu Sigen said with a wrinkled face.
"Because of you." Xu Maoxiu smiled.
"Me?" Xu Sigen was puzzled.
Xu Maoxiu stood up and pointed at the horses over there.
"I believe that the things you have done, Fourth Brother, will definitely be seen by others." He said, "They will definitely see that this is a great contribution."
"I don't think this can be regarded as much credit." Xu Sigen said, "Actually, it's no wonder they were angry. Before this, our good men still succeeded in killing the enemy. Back then, the hussar generals were unrivaled across the northwest. Now,
Even if we have this, we are not willing to erase their achievements."
"Their merits are not inconsistent with yours." Xu Maoxiu said, "It's just that they have been misunderstood. I believe that in time everyone will understand."
He said and smiled again.
"If you don't believe in yourself or my words, don't you still believe in your sister?"
Xu Sigen smiled, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a commotion outside, and a group of people rushed in.
"Xu Sigen, Xu Sigen!"
Chaos is the voice shouting.
"You're not going to cause trouble so soon, are you?" Liu Kui shouted with eyes wide open.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the crowd dispersed, and the conductor, who had been sullen just now, strode over with a smile on his face, holding a scroll in his hand.
"Xu Sigen, hurry up, hurry up, you have won the reward!" he said loudly
The entire pastorate was in a state of shock.
"Come and see a horse breeder who has been recommended as an official!"
It is not uncommon for those who raise horses to become officials. There are pastoral supervisors in the army, and naturally they have official positions. However, these officials naturally do not raise horses themselves. Horse raisers are either subordinates, soldiers, or servants.
Scholars can get official positions through the imperial examination, while those who do not study have to rely on merit to gain official positions. A brave soldier can get merit by killing the enemy, but this is the first time I have heard of a horse breeder getting merit by raising horses.
Crowds of people came and crowded the small pastoral hall.
"Class three...manages...the horses..."
Xu Bangchui held up the notice in his hand and read it loudly. Unfortunately, he didn't recognize many of the words, and he stumbled while reading, leaving everyone in the room confused.
One of the brothers reached out and grabbed it and gave it to Xu Maoxiu.
"Go away, why are you causing trouble? Let Third Brother read it," he said.
Xu Maoxiu took it with a smile.
"The third squad took charge of the military and horse affairs on the road," he said.
"Guan Gou!" Xu Bangchui shouted, "Isn't that just like the boy from the Zhou family?"
Xu Maoxiu shook his head and smiled.
"How can it be the same?" he said, "Lao Si is just an official from the ninth rank."
This time Xu Bangchui understood.
"From the ninth rank, that is also an official status!" he shouted, pointing at the commander beside him, "It is bigger than the commander, the palace servant!"
The commander's face turned red when he was shouted at in public, but his mood was completely different from the previous one where he was furious and wanted to beat these people to death. He laughed, although he laughed reluctantly, but he really laughed after all.
No one knows better than him how rare an official status is. He is almost forty years old this year. It took him a lifetime to get here from a full-fledged military general, but this young man of about 20 years old actually obtained a ninth-grade official status in one fell swoop.
This is nothing less than reaching the sky in one step.
It seems that there is not only someone behind him, but also a very powerful person.
It is not wise to be jealous of powerful people. After all, harming others without benefiting oneself is the act of a fool.
"Xu Guangou, your official uniform is on the way and will be delivered soon. Do you think the official office should be found elsewhere or should it be rearranged here?" he said with a smile.
Xu Sigen was still in a daze, as if the hustle and bustle in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
"My brother is so happy." Xu Maoxiu smiled and said politely to the commander.
The commander had absolutely no arrogance in front of Xu Maoxiu, but was happy that he could find a way out for him.
It is only a matter of time for Xu Sogen to obtain an official status for these people, but they can no longer be treated as ordinary soldiers.
Look at these people. Although they bear the name of being deserters, their fortunes have turned around since their trip to the capital. They have returned to the northwest and are brave and brave in killing enemies. Other soldiers kill enemies in order to be rewarded and live a good life, but as for them,
He doesn't care about money at all. It is said that the money sent from the capital during the Chinese New Year is more than the entire wealth of the governor. The people who come are very respectful, and they are all bosses. Since he has such a wealth, he still works so hard. It is really surprising.
It was clear that this man who did not go into battle to kill the enemy, relied on this seemingly inconspicuous horse iron to obtain an official position in one fell swoop.
The commander didn't read much, so at this moment he couldn't help but come up with a word he didn't know where to describe his feelings.
Place the cone in the capsule.
These men will make great achievements sooner or later.
"It's human nature, it's human nature. When I won the award, I was so happy that I cried." He said in a self-deprecating way.
Everyone present started laughing. Before the laughter stopped, Xu Sigen, who had been sluggish all the time, suddenly burst into tears, got up and rushed out.
Everyone was shocked.
"Look, if I tell you, you will cry with joy." The commander laughed.
When Xu Maoxiu found the horse pen, Xu Sigen had stopped crying. He was sitting in the horse ring, holding a piece of horse iron in his hand and looking at it carefully.
"... Third brother." He heard the footsteps, looked up and saw Xu Maoxiu, and smiled happily, "Look at this, it is thicker and thicker. I won't be afraid of the ice and snow in winter."
Xu Maoxiu nodded with a smile, reached out to take it, and sat down next to him.
The horse pen smelled fishy, and the horses' legs and tails were swaying in front of them, but they were smiling happily as if they were sitting at a banquet.
"Third brother, are you dreaming now?" Xu Sigen said suddenly.
Xu Maoxiu laughed and reached out to pat him.
"It doesn't matter if it's just a dream, just a sweet dream," he said.
Xu Sigen chuckled.
"You'll be happy to get an official position." Xu Maoxiu bumped him with his arm and said.
"I'm happy." Xu Sigen nodded and took a deep breath, "It will be more convenient to do things in the future."
Hearing his answer, Xu Maoxiu laughed again.
Xu Bangchui in the distance looked envious.
"In the morning, I felt sorry for my fourth brother, who is not as good as us." He said, "In a blink of an eye, when we see someone, we have to salute and call you sir..."
Liu Kui was even more stunned. He raised his hand to his mouth, bit it hard, and screamed.
pain!
"How can these pieces of broken iron be exchanged for this? It's more valuable than me killing the enemy? Are you crazy?" He murmured.
Saturday Lang turned around and looked at his entourage who was approaching.
"It's clear that he got lucky this time." The personal attendant whispered, "The emperor knows it and wants to ask. The people below are busy competing for this credit. No other credit can be taken away. Knowing people can make good use of this."
Reluctant to let it go, Xu Sogen was recommended by the Jiedu Judge, the Weizhou Road Manager and the Military Supervisor. Zhongshu's disciples unanimously approved it without any dispute. It was a smooth journey, and there was no dispute at all.
It was approved.”
That's really good luck.
Saturday Lang laughed and shook his head.
Was this also what the woman expected?
He couldn't help but look up at the sky.
What is that woman doing now?
He lowered his head and took out a string of beads from his arms. The material on them was hideous, and they turned out to be wolf teeth.
The first lunar month is almost over, so it's not appropriate to give new year's gifts. Besides, she doesn't necessarily care about them.
Liu Lang held the beads and put them on his hands for a moment. (To be continued)
