Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 176 History of the Marching Army
If you look closely, the veterans are actually ordinary people.

No one is a saint, and will not always show a majestic side. On the contrary, veterans are more vulgar and philistine. They have all the seven emotions and six desires of mortals, and some desires are even stronger than ordinary people.

How can ordinary people of flesh and blood live like saints?
Li Qinzai likes the way of old Wei.

On weekdays, he looks like a wretched idiot. When he mentions the widow in the north of the village, his eyes shine.

There are a lot of problems, but they can't cover up his occasional flashes.

When Datang needed him, he would take the initiative to stand up, even though he was old, but he still firmly stood in the middle of the team.

Just a flash of light covered all his shortcomings. The moment he was ordered to return to Jian, he had already won the respect of Li Qinzai.

"At this age, you still have to go to the front line and work hard, old Wei, what are you doing for? For Yongyetian?" Li Qinzai couldn't help asking curiously.

Old Wei grinned: "Of course it is for Yongye Field, otherwise? Beheading five of the enemy's heads will give you ten acres of Yongye Field. I will work harder and behead ten of them. Haha, twenty acres of land is not that big." Landlord."

"I'll give you twenty acres of land, okay? Don't go desperate."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Shaolang? The men in Guanzhong are dignified and upright. They only get fame and wealth from the battlefield. They get favors for nothing. When will my Wei family be able to repay it?" Old Wei was a little unhappy.

Li Qinzai smiled wryly, yes, the men in Guanzhong are so willful, they will not accept other people's benefits for nothing, in their view, this is treating them as beggars and giving them alms, which hurts their self-esteem.

Old Wei sighed again, and said: "Although the main purpose of working hard is for Yongyetian, but it also has the meaning of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country... Shaolang Junmo is a joke. Old Wei has never studied. Having said that, some of the truths are vaguely understood.”

"The school lieutenant once said that the country comes first and then the family. When the Tang Dynasty is peaceful, the family is peaceful. If someone doesn't want the Tang Dynasty to be peaceful, I'll chop him up with a knife... Well, maybe that's the reason? "

Li Qinzai listened quietly with a thoughtful expression.

After a long time, Duanzhan respected Lao Wei.

"A gift with a word can be a teacher. Mr. Wei, I respect you." After speaking, Li Qinzai drank it down.

The host and guest had their best time and parted ways.

Back in the other courtyard, a slightly drunk Li Qinzai called Liu Ah Si.

"Send a fast horse to the Duke's Mansion in Chang'an, and tell Grandpa that I want to go east with the army." Li Qinzai said calmly.

Liu Ah Si was stunned: "Fifth Young Master, don't make jokes. There are no jokes in the army. How can you join the army with tender arms and legs? The bumps on the road can kill half your life."

Li Qinzai sighed, "I know, but I still want to go."

"Why?"

Li Qinzai smiled strangely: "I want to earn a few acres of Yongye land with my own hands. Is this a strong reason?"

…………

It only takes one day to go back and forth quickly.

One day later, Li Ji asked Buqu to bring a letter. In the letter, Li Ji was very pleased with Li Qinzai's decision to help Master Wang with his understanding of righteousness, and asked him to pay attention to safety.

Although it is said that he is with the army, he is a man of gold after all, so he doesn't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy himself, he just needs to stay in the commander's tent to advise the chief commander of the army.

Li Qinzai also felt extremely relieved after reading the letter.

Fortunately, grandpa's humanity is still intact, and he didn't say that he would let his grandson go to the battlefield to fight the enemy desperately.

Originally, Li Qinzai thought that the old Li family members were thriving, that one more person would not be too much, and that one less person would be celebrated by the whole world.

Along with the letter, there is also a letter of appointment, which is the seal of the great general stamped by Li Ji himself, appointing Li Qinzai as the commander-in-chief of the Xiongjin Road Marching.

This official is interesting. "Chang Shi" is a very flexible official position. He is said to have great power. He can indeed control everything in the army. Moreover, when the general is promoted, Chang Shi is also qualified to give suggestions on strategy and tactics. It depends on the choice of the general if you don't adopt it.

It is said that he does not have much power. What Chang Shi is really responsible for is mostly some trivial matters of logistics, food, grass, weapons, war horses, etc., and a group of clerks who specialize in bookkeeping seem to have no other responsibilities.

It must have taken some thought for Li Ji to appoint him as the long history.

If you go forward, you can offer advice and meritorious deeds, and if you go back, you can be an accountant to write, draw, draw, supervise and inspect food and grass. No matter whether you make achievements in the future, at least you will not be criticized after returning to Chang'an.

Is it too much to ennoble the county son?He has served in the army for a long time at any rate, and the gleaming qualifications are here, who dares to refuse?

Putting away the appointment documents, Li Qinzai sighed, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.

It is a foregone conclusion to go out with the army, but how to say goodbye to Qiao'er and Cui Jie?
Especially Qiao'er, he must be settled properly before he can go to war with peace of mind.

At night, the bitter cold wind howled across the open field, making a terrifying whining sound, like ghosts weeping and wolves howling.

Li Qinzai was lying on the fence grille outside Cui Jie's yard. Seeing that the house was lit, Li Qinzai took out a slingshot from his arms, picked up a small stone from the ground, wrapped a piece of paper on the small stone, and buckled it. The string of the slingshot is pulled slowly.

He didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that the slingshot would be too powerful and accidentally kill Cui Jie, not to mention how the Cui family went after him desperately, as a widower's hat would never be taken off in this lifetime.

Aim at the window lattice, use a little force, and let the strings go!

I only heard a crackling sound coming from the room, and I don't know what happened to break it.

After a long pause, the two girls screamed in horror from the room.

Li Qinzai shook his head and sighed.

This reflex arc is too weird... so cute.

After being relegated to the mortal world, the fairies in the sky immediately became down-to-earth, and the lady of the family was no exception, and she couldn't miss the slingshot that deserved it.

The door was pushed open, and the second daughter in the room rushed out angrily and looked around.

"Who? Who did the evil, come out!" Congshuang stomped his feet and shouted.

Although Cui Jie couldn't swear at the street with blank vocabulary, she couldn't lose her momentum. Standing beside Congshuang with her hands on her hips like a teapot, she looked swollen like a stuffed hamster.

"It must be some wild child who is naughty, it's too much! Girl, please help me to scold a few words!" Cong Shuang said angrily.

Cui Jie muttered her lips for a while, took a deep breath, pointed at the dark farmland outside the yard, and cursed weakly: "You... are bad boys!"

Congshuang was taken aback, looked at her speechlessly, sighed, and decided not to count on her.

With a smile in his eyes, Li Qinzai rushed out from the darkness after a rustling sound, trying to look out of breath.

Cui Jie and Cong Shuang were stunned when they saw him.

"What happened just now? I just came here, and I only saw a few wild children running past me laughing and joking. I thought they had stolen something, and I didn't catch up after chasing them for a long time." Li Qinzai panted heavily, showing that he was indeed chasing very hard. look.

Cui Jie looked at him suspiciously: "You didn't do it just now?"

Li Qinzai was stunned: "What are you talking about? What did I do? I helped you chase down bad guys, but you doubt me?"

The second daughter suppressed her doubts, and Congshuang said aggrievedly: "Li Shaolang, the children in the village are bullying the girl, you have to help my girl make the decision."

"I don't know who threw a stone in just now and broke the dishes on the kang table. Tomorrow we can only hold the rice in our hands and lick it with our tongues like beggars... woo woo woo."

Li Qinzai said contemptuously: "Can you use a metaphor? The one holding the rice in both hands and licking it with his tongue is a dog, not a beggar."
