Xu Qing really didn't expect that the big boss in front of him would have such a dream of becoming a general.
Last year, when I went abroad due to disasters and could not support the army, I did cut off some of them. But even if we don't cut down the army, if there is a war with the physique of the boss, I am afraid that if I rush into it, I will die.
If you don't have a strong enough destiny and don't have Bole willing to support you, it will be very difficult to take the path of military commander, even several times more difficult than the imperial examination.
However, the State of Chu has always attached great importance to martial arts and military achievements. If this time I go back and write a letter asking the court to establish martial arts exams, it is probably not impossible.
This great master was born at the wrong time. He is well versed in military books but knows nothing about martial arts. If a talented general cannot survive on the battlefield, it will be difficult for him to realize his ambitions. If the Chu State has martial arts, the great master may really
It is possible to become a general who can command an army.
Xu Qing looked at the big boss and said: "As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can take care of yourself, but if you are rich, you can help the world. You can't just command some bandits to rob caravans to satisfy your addiction to commanding armies. Moreover, you have killed so many people."
Many people.”
The boss said very honestly: "I said from the beginning that I wanted money rather than my life, but they didn't listen, so I had no choice but to take action."
The corner of Xu Qing's mouth twitched: "It's rare to see a bandit as principled as you."
The leader said proudly: "How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?"
When Xu Qing heard what the head master said, he couldn't help but ask: "You don't want to make the den of thieves bigger, so that one day the court can come and order you to be safe, right?"
The headmaster snorted and said, "Why not?"
Xu Qing laughed disdainfully and said: "Okay, save your ambition for the next life to realize it. You have a lot of people's blood on your hands. If you send it to the government now, maybe you can catch up with the Queen of Autumn."
The last batch to be slaughtered, and those from the province will have to wait in line for another year."
"How about this, before I send you to the government, let me tell you what will happen even if you are ordered to live in peace: from the beginning, you will be a troublemaker, a bandit who commits all kinds of evil, robbing homes and houses, and one day you will be ordered to live by the imperial court.
Come on, who in the imperial court, whether civil servants or military generals, can tolerate a person like you who was born a bandit?"
"There are many factions in the court. Do you think that having a group of people under you is enough? There are talented people in the court who are good at serving as officials. How long can a silly Baitian like you with no power or background live? Who is guilty?
Can I help you speak?"
"At that time, you are not asked to wipe out a den of thieves today, and a copycat tomorrow. Finally, after the continuous conquests have exhausted all the people under your command, it will be the end of your life. You are still thinking about the imperial court.
?Wake up, this method won’t work.”
The more Xu Qing said, the paler the man's face turned: "You...you...how...how could this be like this?!"
Death is not terrible. What is terrible is that before he died, a passerby accidentally broke the dream he had always believed in.
After shattering the dream of the bandit leader who had stories written all over his face, Xu Qing, who couldn't bear it, stuffed two toffees into his hand as compensation.
After doing this, Xu Qing returned to the tent.
…
next day
The sky is just overcast
Xiao Ruxue walked out of the tent and stretched, still wearing Xu Qing's robe.
Xu Qing was already waiting outside the tent. He rarely slept in a strange environment, and even when he did, he slept very lightly. Apparently the same was true for Xiao Ruxue.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and asked, "Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded, then shook her head: "Mosquitoes in wild camping are big and fierce. They bit me several times, and toilet water doesn't even work."
Xu Qing heard this and asked: "Do you still want to camp outside next time?"
Xiao Ruxue quickly shook her head, her little hands waving in front of her: "I don't want to think about it anymore."
The caravan's guards also woke up at this time and began to pack their tents and luggage.
They were already planning to break camp and set off.
The caravan brought a lot of goods with it on this trip. Every day it spent on the road cost a lot of money, and if it spent another day on the road, it would bear one more day of risk.
So if you can save a day, it’s better to save a day.
Last night, due to a fight with bandits who came to attack the caravan, many guards of the caravan died during this trip. Now we must go to the nearest city to recruit more. Otherwise, we will be in trouble if we encounter robbers again on the road. Not every time.
It just so happens that a hero with strong martial arts skills can come to save them.
Of course, rather than bandits and robbers coming to rob the caravan, they were more worried about bandits without moral ethics coming to deceive and attack the caravan.
If they were to start a fight, the guards wouldn't necessarily be afraid, but it would be very annoying if the bandits were hiding in the dark.
…
Liu Zhong and the guard commander Chen Yong also walked out of the tent, as well as the handsome woman from yesterday, Liu Zhong's daughter Liu Wanyan.
In this line of work, waking up early and working late at night is commonplace.
Just when Liu Zhong and the others wanted to say hello to Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue, a guard suddenly shouted in fear: "Oh no! The thief caught yesterday is gone!"
When Liu Chong and Chen Yong heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. The murderous bandit leader actually escaped?!
Liu Zhong had a sullen face, walked over and said sternly: "What? Gone?! Didn't I tell you last night that the person who changes the shift should go into the tent to take a look every half an hour? When did you run away?"
The guard's face was pale and he couldn't speak clearly: "Half...half an hour ago, he...he was still there..."
Chen Yong's expression was not very good either, and he shouted angrily: "You losers, there are so many people who can't even look down on a bandit with an injured leg! What use do you have?"
Liu Wanyan came over and comforted her father: "Dad, since the bandit has escaped, will he gather his men again and wait for revenge? If so, then it is no longer safe here. We don't have many guards anymore, so we should leave here quickly.
wonderful."
Liu Zhong heard his daughter's words and nodded in agreement: "Wan Yan is right. Not only do we have insufficient manpower now, but the caravan can't afford to delay its trip, and we don't have time to dedicate people to capture it.
It’s best to leave early.”
While they were packing their things, Xu Qing looked around and found nothing like footprints and blood. The man ran extremely cautiously.
Although the man must not have been able to walk far if he was injured, there is a mountain peak not far from here, and the mountain is high and the forest is dense. He is a bandit, so he must be very familiar with the terrain in this area. If he goes into the forest, Ying
Wei probably had a hard time looking for it, so what are they looking for?
But as Liu Wanyan said, it is probably unlikely that the big boss will gather his subordinates and wait for revenge. The two of them are in the caravan, and the shadow guards in the dark will follow them all the way. If any bandits dare to come and take revenge,
That was purely to send extra money to Shadow Guard.
They really want those desperate bandits to come and take revenge!
