Chu Xiangnan Army, Tong Meng, a thin man, rode a tall horse, shuttled back and forth among the marching army, patrolling everywhere.
Suddenly, he saw an equally thin young man, wearing a thin military uniform, with sunken eyes, obviously caused by hunger. The huge helmet was dangling on his head, and it could be seen that even the hair under the helmet was very thin. He should be a little tired at this time, and the spear in his hand was leaning on the ground intentionally or unintentionally, so that he could hold on and move forward.
"Boy, how did you become so thin and virtuous? Was your meal robbed?" Tong Meng rode his horse and walked over slowly and asked.
The thin soldier looked up and said, "No...no. Sir, I...eat very well."
Tong Meng looked up and down carefully and shouted: "Are you all bullying this young man! Don't you have any royal laws? How can I teach you in daily life!"
The soldiers who were marching turned around and saw that Tong Meng was talking about "Sick Ghost Seven". No one responded and continued on their way, but their attention was focused here. They all pricked up their ears and wanted to hear it. Will this "Sick Ghost Seven" make a small report about himself?
"What's your name?" Tong Meng asked aloud.
"Back to the general, the little one...has no name. I am the seventh eldest child in the family. Everyone always calls me Xiao Qi or 'Sick Ghost Seven'."
Tong Meng asked: "There should be a surname, right? What's your surname?"
Xiao Qi shook his head: "I don't know. I was sold to a landlord's family as soon as I made the sale. I don't know who my parents are. Even the seventh eldest child was told by the landlord."
Tong Meng used a riding crop to lift up the sleeves of Xiao Qi's military uniform. There were shocking blue marks on his arms. Tong Meng sighed: "He is also a poor man, come on." After that, he took Xiao Qi out of the team. He threw it on the horse and drove away in a car behind the horse team.
"Why do you think General Tong is so nice to 'Sick Ghost Seven'? They are both equally thin, can they be illegitimate children? Hahahaha"
"What do you know? You've been careless all day long. Have you seen where General Tong has gone? In the car! In that car are two of General Tong's women. General Tong is tired of walking by water and wants to take the dry road. ”
"I'm looking for you even if I'm on a dry road. You're so strong that you can withstand it all night long. How can sick Gui Qi be able to withstand it?"
A group of Chu and Xiang soldiers whispered and laughed.
Tong Meng brought Xiao Qi to the side of the car, stopped the car, and opened the door of the car. The two women inside were startled and looked outside in confusion with their big watery eyes.
Tong Meng grabbed the two women, pulled them out, and threw them casually on the roadside: "Okay, you go home." After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Qi's collar and threw them into the car.
"Sit here and rest for a while, cook! Give this soldier some food and make a roast chicken! From now on, your surname will be Tong, and your name will be Tong Qi. No one will dare to bully you in the future." Tong Meng finished his order without even looking at it. He glanced at the two women on the side of the road, patted his horse and headed towards the front of the team. In the marching team, everyone stared fiercely at the two women, but no one dared to do anything. The army continued to march in an orderly manner. The two girls were left dumbfounded, not understanding what was happening.
"I have a surname... My surname is Tong... General Tong has been so kind to me..." Tong Qi was sitting in the car. He couldn't believe it for a moment. He reached out and grabbed it, but couldn't find his own spear. Only then did he react. He was thrown on the roadside by Tong Meng.
"This is what fortune tellers often say, you should make friends with noble people." Tong Qi thought, and soon, a fragrant roast chicken was delivered outside the car. Tong Qi took it and ate it with big mouthfuls.
The deputy general who had been following Tong Meng from beginning to end didn't understand and asked: "General, what are you doing? You are just a soldier, how can you match..."
"Have you ever heard of catching a substitute?" Tong Meng smiled sinisterly, "Am I stupid? I'm going to fight with that 'little bully'? Let that fat pig from the north pick it up? I deliberately spread the word. I had a fight with the 'little overlord', but it was actually the double who was fighting. I blended in with the infantry and killed him when he was not prepared! The little overlord is very brave, isn't he? I just want to use Chu Xiang's decapitation The tactics killed him! It destroyed Nanhuai’s spirit."
"Congratulations, General! It's just... let him be a substitute temporarily. Why bother now..." the deputy general said.
"You have to do a complete show. If you want to deceive others, you should first deceive your own people. Don't let me know." Tong Meng sneered.
Seeing Tong Meng's sneer, the lieutenant couldn't help but count down a little. He didn't dare to say anything, so he had to hand his hands and say yes.
At night, the Chu Xiangnan army set up camp and finished cooking pots. A kind-hearted old soldier walked up to Tong Qi who was sitting on the ground and handed over a large cake: "Xiao Qi, quickly put it away... put it away, don't let anyone Saw."
Tong Qi took the cake, put it in his arms, and said thank you: "Uncle Liu, thank you. When Xiao Qi gets rich in the future, I will definitely come and repay you!"
"What's repaying or not? Let's wait until you survive. I'm leaving first." Lao Jun lowered his head and was about to leave, but unexpectedly bumped into someone. When he looked up, it was Tong Meng.
"What did you just give me?" Tong Meng took out the big cake from Tong Qi's arms. "Don't you know that I have adopted him as my younger brother? Are you giving him this? In front of me?" You dare to bully him, you are so brave!" Tong Meng grabbed the pie and threw it at Lao Jun's face. The pie fell to the ground, and Lao Jun was so frightened that he knelt down and shook his head. Don't know what to say.
"Here comes someone, drag him out and chop me down! You don't take me seriously at all!" Tong Meng ordered.
"General, spare your life, general, spare your life. The villain doesn't know, the villain doesn't know." The old army was frightened and kowtowed quickly.
Tong Qi also ran over and kowtowed: "General, this uncle is a good man. Please let him go. I am willing to plead guilty to him."
Tong Meng grabbed Tong Qi, pulled him up and said, "Remember, I will be your eldest brother from now on. You don't need to call me general, just call me eldest brother."
"Big...brother..." Tong Qi was a little confused.
"My brother is begging for mercy for you, why don't you get out of here?" Tong Meng shouted to Lao Jun, who was bowing his head.
Lao Jun said hurriedly: "Thank you, General Tong, thank you, General Tong, thank you, General Tong's brother..." After saying that, he got up and ducked to the side.
"Remember, this Xiao Qi from now on, ah. Now his name is Tong Qi, he is my younger brother. If anyone dares to bully him, remember to weigh the consequences yourself." Tong Meng shouted to a group of Chu Xiang Army soldiers in the camp, shocked. Everyone was stunned.
Tong Meng didn't care much and shouted: "Cook, grill a fish for my brother, hurry up!" After saying that, he patted Tong Qi on the shoulder and left with a smile.
Tong Qi had not recovered from the shock. The expressions of the other soldiers changed when they saw him. They all walked around when they passed by. No one dared to approach within a few dozen steps of him.
"Hey, am I that developed?" Tong Qi grinned.
After dinner, Tong Qi was no longer like other ordinary soldiers, with more than a dozen people crowded into a tent. Instead, he had his own tent, which was bigger than the tent where more than a dozen people lived together before.
Tong Qi excitedly did two somersaults in the tent, then hugged his spear and lay down on the bed.
"I just don't know who my parents are. If my parents know, they will definitely think that I am very promising! By the way, I can ask my eldest brother to help me find them later. My eldest brother is a general and he will definitely be able to find my parents!" Tong Qi thinking happily.
At this time, the sound of two soldiers talking was heard outside the tent. Tong Qi was confused and moved closer to listen carefully.
"This boy is really lucky, he actually climbed up to the Tong General!"
"Hey, General Tong himself can't protect himself. You'll know when we fight the Nanhuai Army. The Nanhuai Overlord is no joke. General Tong and General Ma plus our 50,000 Chu and Xiang troops, let me see , It’s all very hanging!”
"Then why is it that General Tong can't protect himself? We are going to be in trouble. He is a general and he can't run away?"
"Where to run? If General Tong runs away, can the prince let him go? Moreover, General Tong originally wanted to have a fight with the Nanhuai bully. He is already the Nanhuai bully. Can General Tong be his opponent? This time, I Look at it. Unless...shh, let’s go.”
The sound outside the tent suddenly stopped. Tong Qi knew that the candles in the tent were brightly lit, reflecting his shadow. The two people outside must have discovered that he was eavesdropping.
Tong Qi hurriedly ran out of the tent, trying to find the two men. He turned around several times, but in the end he couldn't find them. Instead, he found the old soldier squatting in the corner not far away.
"Uncle, what are you doing here if you don't want to sleep?" Tong Qi asked as he approached.
"You kid, are you desperate for your life? Hide quickly." Lao Jun quickly grabbed Tong Qi and dragged him to the corner.
Tong Qi asked curiously: "What's going on? So mysterious?"
"Someone is going to be a deserter, but they can't let them know. Otherwise, they will kill him and silence him!" the old army said seriously.
"Desert? You must report this to General Tong immediately!" Tong Qi was surprised.
Lao Jun covered Tong Qi's mouth: "A battle with Nanhuai will mean death. If you report it to General Tong, won't it be a dead end for General Tong to catch them? Don't you dare to ruin your life! And if you report it, you will die." It doesn’t matter anymore, General Tong won’t live long.”
Hearing this, Tong Qi immediately ran to the commander's tent. As soon as he arrived outside the tent, he heard a whisper in the tent: "General Tong, why don't you find someone in the army who is similar to you in appearance and appearance to be your commander?" Stand in, attract the attention of the little bully, and then, General Tong, you take the opportunity to attack, and we may win a big victory!"
Tong Meng's voice came out: "Oh, the body shape is similar? Is there anyone as thin as me in this camp? Besides, what will happen to the brother who will be the substitute? But no one can guarantee that he will be killed by that little boy. Overlords can survive being targeted.”
"The younger brother you just took in...is similar in stature to you." The lieutenant on the side said.
"That kid is pitiful enough. How can I bear to die in an unknown way? Forget it, so what if I just have a fair fight with that little bully? If a man dies, he will die..."
Tong Qi opened the curtain and walked in: "General... General Tong, I am willing to be your substitute."
Tong Meng was sitting on the commander's seat, with two lieutenants on his left and right. The three of them were discussing. When they saw Tong Qi coming in, the three of them were stunned.
"Hey, little brother, why are you here? You stayed up in the middle of the night and you came here." Tong Meng quickly stood up from his handsome position, his expression was slightly embarrassed and he said with a forced smile.
"I have no regrets. Lieutenants, please give me some advice." Tong Qi turned to the two lieutenants in the tent and said.
The two lieutenants hurriedly walked down, hugged Tong Qi and walked out: "Come on, you shouldn't get involved in this. Don't worry, Mr. Tong, we will definitely persuade him to change his mind."
After the three people left, two ordinary soldiers and the veteran army came to the commander's tent from the other side: "General Qizou Tong, everything is done according to your instructions."
"Hahahahaha, okay!" Tong Meng laughed ferociously.
