At dusk, Xiaoru came to call and saw this scene: her little lady was wearing a peony flower on her head, nestling in the arms of a tall boy with a smile on her face, and fell asleep deeply.
Xiao Ru opened her mouth wide. Is this the same heroic young lady from her family who spends all her time dancing with swords and guns?
How did you become a weak woman?
Wang Erlang was startled when he saw the figure approaching in a daze, but he also woke up Mrs. Cao.
Miss Cao's face was slightly red when she saw Xiao Ru here, and she hurriedly sat up straight and straightened her clothes.
"My lady, my uncle, the show has already ended. Madam asked me to come and let you know." Xiao Ru bowed and said.
"Yeah, got it, we'll go there right away."
Mrs. Cao responded, and then the three of them went to the front yard together.
When they arrived at the front yard, all the elders laughed tacitly when they saw Mrs. Cao wearing a peony on her head.
Madam Cao's face turned even redder, but she didn't expect that it was the peony flower's pot.
While everyone was laughing and chatting, they sent the guests from the Wang family to the door of Cao's Mansion, and some servants brought some return gifts to the car, and then they reluctantly said goodbye.
"I will come back when I find that person." Wang Zhi said to her softly when no one else was paying attention.
"Um."
Mrs. Cao nodded, and then watched the people around her leave.
…
Early the next morning, in Taolin Lane, the Zhang family's temporary residence was in the house.
"Master, my disciple comes to say goodbye to you."
Wang Zhi saluted to Zhang Shuye with a look of reluctance. He had only known this cheap master for half a month, but their personalities and behaviors were really compatible. In addition to daily gun practice, the two often talked about comforting things. Topics such as refugees and managing people's livelihood.
Zhang Shuye was re-elected as the official of several parents, so he naturally has deep experience. Wang Erlang has the memory of later generations, and occasionally expresses some refreshing opinions for Zhang Tianshen, so the two of them would drink two cups of wine every day after practicing the gun and communicate with each other. Xu, the name is master and disciple, more like confidant.
The two sons of the Zhang family complained that their own father had not spoken as much to them in half his life as he had to this cheap apprentice in half a month.
"Well, when are you leaving?"
If he wasn't talking about serious matters, Zhang Shuye would basically talk about everything.
"Leave today. First go to Xiangzhou to find someone, then come back and go to the northwest."
"Well, remember to practice your marksmanship diligently, so as not to lose your reputation as a master."
"Disciple, please remember your master's teachings."
"I'll give you something when I come back."
"yes."
Wang Zhihou said goodbye to his wife, Mrs. Lu, and the two brothers from the Zhang family, and then left with brother-in-law Zhang's eyes full of tears and runny noses.
"Can't you bear it?" Lu asked.
"A little bit."
Zhang Shuye nodded, "But a man must always leave the gentle town of Bianjing to truly understand the suffering of the people, and to truly plead for the people and make a difference."
"Bianjing is just a fig leaf."
After Wang Zhi left Zhang's house, he rode a white horse to the outside of the military camp in the south of the city.
At this time, there was a group of teenagers outside the military camp, about forty in number, led by Wang Fu and Chang Qing.
When the young people saw Wang Zhi, they all greeted the hall master.
Wang Zhi didn't talk nonsense, and immediately said to everyone: "The wise men still remember what we said after we defeated Zhu Ruxian's gang in the woods outside the West City."
While the sages were still reminiscing, Wang Fei shouted loudly: "I remember that the Hall Master once said: If one day we are able to leave Kaifeng Mansion, we will definitely not be fleeing, but only going to the battlefield!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone remembered and agreed.
Wang Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, now it's time to fulfill your promise, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!!"
"Well, there are enough horses here now."
The sages followed Wang Zhi's fingers and saw that the gate of the military camp had been opened, and soldiers came out leading a group of horses.
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to get familiar with it, and then set off to the woods outside the West City. If you successfully get the token from Wang Gui waiting there within three quarters of an hour, I will take him to the battlefield!"
While they were talking, the horses had already been led behind Qunxian. Wang Xun walked out and nodded to Wang Zhi.
"Okay, each person chooses one, let's get started."
After receiving the order, the wise men immediately rushed to the horses and picked one out each. Their momentum frightened the horses so much that they backed away.
Wang Zhi dismounted and walked to Wang Fu and said, "Brother Fu, go teach them how to use horses."
Wang Fu nodded and walked over. A young man beside him wanted to go with him but was grabbed by Wang Zhi, "Qing, you don't have to. We can't live without you in the hall."
"Master, I already told Wang Shi when I came here. After I leave, he will be fully responsible for the affairs of the hall."
Chang Qing tried to break free from his arm, but couldn't.
Wang Zhi shook his head. Today, only one-third of the staff of Juxian Hall were outside Nancheng. The remaining two-thirds were either too young or had only one child at home with parents to support.
They cannot do without Chang Qing, and Juxian Hall cannot do without Chang Qing.
"Qing, do you still remember what I told you? This world is about to change. I need the help of Juxian Hall. You want to help me not by killing a few enemies for me, but by helping me strengthen Juxian Hall. Only Only when Juxian Hall grows stronger can it help me in the future and give my brothers more chances to survive."
Wang Zhi looked into his eyes and said slowly: "I only believe in you."
Chang Qing met his gaze for a while before nodding heavily.
"Second brother, these little brothers of yours are very good. They are all very powerful." Wang Xun walked to his brother and greeted him.
"Haha...Brother, these are my brothers of life and death. When I go to the northwest to play, I won't mind if I don't have a few brothers around me to enjoy it with."
Wang Zhi responded with a smile, but there was a hint of something different hidden deep in his eyes. He wanted to lead everyone in Juxian Hall to practice, but he was also prepared to guard against Gao Qiu's cold arrows.
"You kid." Wang Xun scolded with a smile.
"Come on, brother, let me introduce you."
Wang Zhi stepped aside to step aside from Chang Qing and said, "This is Chang Qing, my best and most trusted brother. He is in charge of my Juxian Hall."
Chang Qing knew who this person was and quickly bowed and saluted: "I have met General Wang."
Wang Xun returned the gift, helped Chang Qing up and said with a smile: "You are my younger brother's brother, and that is my Wang Xun's brother. You can no longer be called a general, just call me eldest brother like my younger brother."
"Brother!"
Chang Qing didn't hesitate, and was impressed by Wang Xun's friendly demeanor. The two brothers were really brothers. They were both admired and wanted to get close to each other involuntarily. The difference was that one was as warm as fire and the other was as gentle. water.
"OK…"
Wang Xun patted Chang Qing on the shoulder, and from time to time the three of them started talking and laughing.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly. At Wang Fu's order, a group of teenagers rushed out on horseback.
Several teenagers failed to grasp the reins and fell off the horse on the spot. Before Wang Xun could ask for help, he saw the teenagers staggering up and climbing on the horse's back and rushing out again.
Even veterans who had been on the battlefield for several years were shocked when they saw that kind of fearless and aloof attitude.
"Brother..." Wang Xun looked at him with a wink.
"Don't open your mouth, there's no need to talk!" Wang Erlang waved his hands with a firm attitude.
"Not even one?"
"Not a single one!"
"snort!"
"It's useless. I won't let them go. Moreover, they are all independent individuals. If you can persuade them to follow you voluntarily, then I have no objection."
Wang Xun was completely speechless. If he didn't agree with it, what else could he say?
Time passed minute by minute, and a quarter and a half later, the figure of the first war horse appeared in the distance.
Before the horse even got close, the voice came from far away, "Haha...Brother Zhi, it has to be me. The first one has to be me."
Wang Zhi cursed, he didn't care how he got this kid in just now.
Wang Fei was different from other Juxian Hall members. He was the first young man to follow Wang Zhi. He had been eating and drinking in the palace for a while as early as two years ago. He had also been exposed to horses at that time. Naturally, he was not just one of them. A poor boy who has never seen a horse run and never touched horse meat can be compared.
Wang Fei, with a red face and a thick face, ran to Wang Zhi with a token to ask for credit, but was rewarded with a big shoe and walked away aggrievedly.
Then second and third...until three quarters of an hour later.
"Erlang, there are twenty-eight in total." Wang Fu walked up to Wang Zhi and reported.
Wang Zhi nodded. He was already very satisfied with this result. Twenty-eight was a lot. With these twenty-eight non-Japanese soldiers, he would not be alone in the Japanese army in the future.
"Brother, take them to the military camp to naturalize."
By this time, the Song Dynasty had already implemented a large-scale recruitment system, including the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Wang Zhen, as the commander-in-chief of an army, had the right to recruit soldiers.
"You won't give me any, and you still want me to work for you."
Wang Xun also rewarded him with a big shoe upper, and went to work while cursing.
Wang Zhi, on the other hand, found his father in the military camp and gave him a wink, "Dad..."
"Don't open your mouth, there's nothing to talk about!" Wang Zhen waved his hands with a firm attitude.
"I only want Han Shizhong and don't give him any?"
"Not a single one!"
"snort!"
"It's useless. Han Shizhong is a general, not a soldier. He only listens to orders from the Privy Council in which army he serves. Your father and I are not that capable of assigning a commander to you, the deputy commander."
"Ah? Doesn't he have a head?"
"Your father and I have already been promoted. How can he, a general who captured Fang La alive, still be promoted? You think of your father and me as a villain who takes credit from others."
"Okay."
Wang Erlang was completely speechless. He didn't want Han Shizhong anymore, but it was enough to have a peerless general with two dragons to assist him. He was also afraid of losing his life.
"Where is the transfer order I want?"
Wang Erlang stretched out his hand, just like when he was a child and asked his father for candy. No matter how old he is, he is still a child in front of his father.
Wang Xun took a piece of paper from the desk and gave it to him. Seeing his silly boy running out the door happily, he shook his head helplessly and fondly.
Wang Zhi collected the transfer orders, mounted his white horse, and left the military camp.
Twenty-eight members of the Juxian Hall and the two brothers Wang Fu and Wang Gui had already been waiting on horseback outside the camp. As Wang Zhi, he could not get a commander through the back door, but he could get thirty horses and thirty horses. It's better to keep the weapons alone.
Wang Zhi met with everyone in the hall, pointed his sword at Xiangzhou without any nonsense.
Set off!
